Yang Biao finally sat back down. He didn't bother to wipe his sweat and said to Liu in a hurry: "Your Majesty, I have no virtue and no ability..."
As he spoke, he suddenly fell down and covered his face with the ground.
Liu Bian and others couldn't get it, but they didn't have time to reach out.
Seeing this, Xun You, Zhong Yao and others rushed to help him, but Yang Biao seemed to be in a coma, with his head lowered, and there was no movement at all.
Liu Bian's face straightened, and anger surged in his heart.
Have you resorted to such clumsy tricks?
Xun You also knew that the above work had to be done, so he said: "Your Majesty, do you want to announce the doctor?"
Liu Bian sat back slowly, looked at Yang Biao, suppressed his anger, and said calmly: "Come here, send the Prime Minister out and send the doctor to treat him."
Several Zhonghuangmen walked in from the door and carefully carried Yang Biao out.
Everyone watched, everyone knew that Yang Biao was pretending to be unconscious, but they could not expose it.
As soon as Yang Biao left, Wang Yun looked more serious than ever before, raised his hand to Liu Bian, and said: "Your Majesty, the reinstatement of the prime minister is of great importance. Please discuss it later."
The position of Prime Minister is indeed extraordinary.
Since the Qin Dynasty, the prime minister has had too much power, to what extent. To put it simply, the prime minister has the prime minister's palace, and all the officials discuss matters in the prime minister's palace. If the emperor has something to do, he has to go to the prime minister's palace to attend.
Since the Qin Dynasty, "ruling by inaction" has been prevalent. Even a strong emperor is "courteous" to the prime minister, and the imperial power is even subservient to the power of the prime minister!
Once Yang Biao becomes the Prime Minister, everything will require Yang Biao's nod. The appointment of all officials in the court and the decisions on all matters will almost all come from the Prime Minister's Office.
Xun You and Zhong Yao also showed hesitation. The prime minister has too much power. The key is whether this person or Yang Biao. No one can figure out his thoughts. If he is restrained in various things, even if it is deliberate delay, it will not be good for the current court. The situation and state affairs are all very unfavorable!
Liu Bian looked at their expressions and said calmly: "This matter has been settled. In addition, Wang Yun and Dong Zhuo will be the servants on the left and right, assisting the prime minister and sorting out all the opportunities."
The restoration of the prime minister is the last piece of the puzzle for Liu Bian to reorganize the imperial court!
Wang Yun was not at all happy about becoming Zuocheng, and said more and more anxiously: "Your Majesty, the Prime Minister has important responsibilities..."
"No need to discuss it further!"
Liu Bian waved his hand and interrupted his words. He sat upright and said solemnly: "I have decided to reinstate the Prime Minister. The Prime Minister and Pushe Director Shangshutai will not have a Prime Minister's Office. From now on, the Shangshutai must sort out the national affairs as soon as possible. , come up with a policy outline to cope with the current situation!"
Wang Yun looked hesitant and looked at Zhong Yao and Xun You.
The two did not speak. Although Liu Bian did not discuss it with him beforehand, it was obvious that the palace had already planned it and it was not an impulsive move.
The two looked at each other and nodded secretly.
In this way, even if the court does not want to unite, at least it will not continue to fight fiercely.
'Useless mediocrity! '
Wang Yun secretly glared at the two of them and said angrily in his heart, and then thought about how to argue with Liu Bian.
Liu Bian looked at the three of them, pondered for a while, and said, "As for the Xiongnu invasion, we will discuss it later at the Chancellery."
After saying that, he stood up.
Wang Yun saw this and said quickly: "Your Majesty..."
Liu Bian didn't listen to him at all, strode out of the door, and said to Pan Yin: "Inform Zhang Liao to leave the palace."
Pan Yin followed in small steps and said, "Your Majesty, where are you going and how many people are you taking?"
Liu Bian kept walking and said, "Take five hundred people and don't let anyone know."
"yes."
Pan Yin responded and hurriedly arranged for someone to deliver the message.
Not long after, Liu Bian put on his regular clothes, left the palace, walked out of the city, got on a carriage outside the city gate, and was escorted by Zhang Liao, all the way east.
After walking for a full hour, Pan Yin beside him looked a little uneasy. He looked at Liu Bian in the carriage and wanted to ask several times, but did not dare to say anything.
Zhang Liao walked in front the whole time without saying a word and was on guard all around.
Liu Bian in the carriage closed his eyes and fell asleep.
After walking for nearly an hour, Zhang Liao stopped, turned his horse around and said, "Your Majesty, we have arrived."
Liu Bian opened his eyes, lifted the curtain and came out. Not far away was a simple mountain stronghold, with people moving and building it.
Liu Bian smiled, got off the carriage, and said, "This is it."
He led the people and walked straight to the door.
Pan Yin didn't know where this was and was a little curious.
As soon as Liu Bian arrived at the door, a young man in his twenties, wearing white armor, handsome and handsome, with bright stars and bright moon eyes, walked out quickly. When he saw Liu Bian, he knelt down on one knee and said, "Yamen General Zhao Yun , see your majesty!”
"No gift!"
Liu Bian smiled broadly, looked at Zhao Yun carefully, and nodded secretly. He was indeed brave, and he looked like a capable general at first glance, but he was still a bit young at the moment.
After finishing speaking, Liu Bian tilted his head and said to Zhang Liao: "This was recommended by Lu Qing's family. He was originally the White Horse Yiyi of Zhonglang General Gongsun Zan."
Gongsun Zan had great military exploits in Youzhou, and Baima Yicong was also famous. Zhang Liao couldn't help but look at Zhao Yun carefully.
Zhao Yun looked as normal and said: "Your Majesty, the military camp has not been completed yet. Please take a look at it."
Liu Bian glanced at Zhao Yun again, smiled and walked inside.
Construction and construction are going on everywhere. Looking at it, this military camp is very big, but there are not many people.
Zhao Yun followed Liu Bian and said: "Your Majesty, the military camp currently recruits less than 3,000 people. The Grand Sima Mansion has sent word that 2,000 people will be sent every month, and 30,000 people will be sent by the end of the year."
Liu Bian nodded. He naturally knew this. Thinking of thirty thousand people, he couldn't help but feel a surge of pride in his heart.
This military camp is very simple, with only a few mud houses, and the site is still being organized. It is obvious that it was built not long ago.
Soldiers came and went, and from time to time someone greeted Zhao Yun and was curious about the identities of Liu Bian and others.
Liu Bian ignored it, walked slowly, and said to Zhang Liao and Zhao Yun: "I have decided to expand the Forbidden Army. The young men recruited here will be the Forbidden Army in the future. After training for a year or two, they will be sent to some generals to lead the army. In wartime, Return after the battle."
Zhang Liao was startled, forbidden troops? All of them?
Zhao Yun was a little surprised, but said nothing.
Liu Bian came to the racecourse, looked at the dozen or so lonely horses, reached out to touch them, and said with a smile: "They are quite docile?"
Zhao Yun stood aside and said: "Your Majesty, despite being docile at this time, these horses are all excellent horses from Youzhou, with excellent speed and endurance, no worse than Xiongnu horses, and can travel eight hundred miles a day."
Liu Bian looked slightly startled. You must know that the speed and endurance of war horses are very important on the battlefield. They can travel eight hundred times a day. Whether it is a night attack, a roundabout, or a frontal charge, it is a huge advantage!
Liu Bian looked back at Zhao Yun and said, "Can I ride?"
Zhao Yun hesitated.
The majesty in front of me is white and tender. Not to mention falling, even the bumps and wear may not be able to withstand it.
When Liu Bian saw it, he directly pulled the horse's rope, stepped on the stirrup, and turned directly onto the horse.
There was nothing unusual about the war horse, but Liu Bian felt it was very strange.
He had ridden a horse before, but this time he felt uncomfortable and was about to fall off.
Liu Bian pulled the horse's rope, looked around, and said, "Why are there no stirrups?"
It's not that there are none, but there is only one side, and the direction of this side is not right. His feet are basically hanging in the air.
Liu Bian's question made Zhang Liao and Zhao Yun stunned.
But in a flash, Liu Bian also remembered, turned over and dismounted, and said with a smile: "I forgot. The horses I used to have in the palace had stirrups on both sides for stability, which allowed people to sit more firmly on the horse and move more flexibly. . After I go back, I will have a few of them sent to me, and I will add them to the war horses in the future."
Pan Yin thought about it in the palace carefully. He had never argued with Liu before, so he didn't know very well.
Zhang Liao came even later, so there was no doubt that he was there.
Zhao Yun glanced at the horse's back, perhaps feeling that it was dispensable and could not refute Liu Bian's face, and said: "Thank you, Your Majesty."
Without stirrups, Liu Bian would not dare to ride. It would be a big loss if he fell down.
He continued walking around the military camp and said, "What do you think of Zhao Qing's family and Gongsun Qing's family?"
Zhao Yun still admired Gongsun Zan very much and said directly: "Your Majesty, Gongsun Zhonglang will be brave and fearless, and he will be a tiger general in the world.'
Liu Bian smiled, Gongsun Zan was brave and brave, but his thoughts were hard to fathom.
These generals with heavy troops may be able to bow their heads when the court can barely support them. Once the court shows its weakness, it is good to listen to the announcement but not the instructions. Taking the opportunity to cause chaos, expand the scope of influence, and become king is the normal operation. .
Thinking that Gongsun Zan was under Lu Zhi at this time, and Lu Zhi had just taken half of Dong Zhuo's troops, the total force was almost 20,000, plus Gongsun Zan's 10,000, it was nearly 30,000.
'Should be able to deal with the Huns, right? '
Liu Bian thought that if Lu Zhi could not stop the Huns, the Huns would march straight in and reach Luoyang!
'Why do I feel so inexplicably frightened when I think of this? '
Liu Bian looked a little strange, and immediately shook his head. At the moment, he still needs to strengthen himself.
This military camp will be able to have 30,000 people by the end of the year. With a little training, it can be pulled out. Although it is not an elite division, it has the strength in terms of strength.
Elites are made by fighting!
Liu Bian thought about it and said: "Yanzhou is about to be pacified. The Huangfuqing family will return to the capital soon, and he will personally arrange it here. Zhang Liao, you are free, come here if you have nothing to do, and consult with the Huangfuqing family about this." The method of training and leading troops.”
"I accept the order," Zhang Liao said.
Liu Bian walked around in a circle and felt confident, so he walked out the door, smiled with Zhao Yun and said, "Zhao Qing's family has been working hard these days. When I have some free time, I will invite Qing's family into the palace and talk about Youzhou." Things."
Zhao Yun was flattered and said quickly: "I don't dare."
Liu Bian waved his hand and said, "That's it for today."
It was the first time for Zhao Yun to meet Liu Bian. When he saw that he did not have any airs and his tone was friendly, he already valued him. He was very excited and said: "I respectfully send you off to your Majesty!"
Liu Bian went out with a smile, got on the carriage, and let out a sigh of relief.
Although time is tight, we are finally on the right track.
When Liu Bian returned to Beijing, the imperial court was making intensive preparations for the reinstatement of the prime minister.
In the Shangshu Terrace, Li Ru, who had been appointed as the Shangshu of Xingcao, was very proud of himself. His elegant temperament had a hint of official authority.
He knelt and sat opposite Wang Yun, listening to Wang Yun's concerns about reinstating the prime minister.
Li Ru smiled broadly and said, "Your Majesty, the reinstatement of the Prime Minister is actually not that big of a relationship with the Prince."
Wang Yun looked indifferent and said: "Why not? The prime minister has been reinstated, and all power has been given to Yang Biao, Xun You, Zhong Yao and others. They are all incompetent. Wouldn't the national government be increasingly corrupted?"
Li Ru's eyes flashed and he said, "My lord, what if the prime minister keeps asking for leave or ignores the affairs?"
Wang Yun was startled, and then started to think.
Yang Biao has been hiding from the government. Even when the Prime Minister was reinstated, he dared to pretend to be stunned in front of Liu Bian. Even if he becomes Prime Minister in the future, he will probably not really monopolize power.
The other one is Dong Zhuo. This man has no foundation in the court and is hated by both the government and the public, including His Majesty in the palace. He will not last long!
Wang Yun slowly showed a smile and said: "Wenyou can be compared to the ovary!"
Li Ru bowed slightly humbly, with a proud look in his eyes, and said: "I've decided, Yang, it won't last long!"
Wang Yun remained calm and smiled knowingly.
At this time, Yang Biao had returned to Yang Mansion.
A group of servants carried him and carefully carried him to the backyard.
Yang Biao's face was as dark as water. There was no trace of cold sweat on his fat and round face. Instead, he was ashen, and his eyes were filled with uneasiness and vigilance.
He never expected that after spending so much money and land, he originally wanted to make up for the Yuan family's problem and seek peace of mind, but he did not expect that Liu Bian would backhand him and "restore the prime ministership"!
Yang Biao wanted to hide. No one knew the current situation better than him. Whoever takes the lead will end badly!
Once the emperor and his ministers, these eunuchs and important ministers during the He Jin period would not be reused at all.
But it's Xun You, Zhong Yao and others. It won't be long before they will be ranked in the Taiwan Pavilion!
The more clearly Yang Biao saw it, the more he wanted to hide. Even if he temporarily offended Liu Bian, it was better than following in the Yuan family's footsteps!
The housekeeper hurried over and saw that Yang Biao's calf was bleeding, and asked anxiously: "Master, what's wrong with you?"
Yang Biao looked grim and said, "Has Wang Lang received a reply?"
Just as the housekeeper was about to speak, he saw Wang Lang walking out.
Yang Biao suddenly became anxious and said, "Why are you back? Dezu is also back?"
Wang Lang had a broad face and a calm expression, and said with a smile: "If he doesn't come back, I am."
Only then did Yang Biao feel relieved. He waited for others to carry him back and drove them away. He looked at Wang Lang with a gloomy look on his round face, blinked his small eyes and remained silent.
Wang Lang sat opposite, looking puzzled, and said, "How did you get to this point?"
Yang Biao sighed softly and said, "You must have heard a lot about the Yuan family. In fact, the Yuan family has gone too far, and His Majesty can't bear it anymore."
Wang Lang shook his head and said: "I had a premonition about the Yuan family, Yuan Shao, Yuan Shu was too cruel. He stormed into the palace and killed the eunuchs. It is certainly expected by the world, but who can't be afraid of such wanton behavior? I’m asking about your injury.”
Yang Biao's heart was heavy and he didn't know how to speak. After a long while, he said: "Your Majesty, we are determined to reinstate the Prime Minister."
Wang Lang was startled for a moment, then sat up straight and said in surprise: "You?"
Yang Biao nodded.
Wang Lang sat back with a solemn face, lowering his head and thinking silently.
Yang Biao also stopped talking. This matter was more serious than killing the Yuan family!
To kill the Yuan family, the Yang family will be implicated at most, but when they reach the position of prime minister, the Yang family is like sitting in the crater of a volcano, and may be destroyed at any time!
Wang Lang pondered for a long time, raised his head and looked at Yang Biao seriously, and said: "You must reject it no matter what!"
Yang Biao said: "I refused at that time and even pretended to be faint, but Your Majesty still didn't let me go."
Wang Lang's eyes were wary and puzzled, and he said: "You don't fight or grab, and you have nothing to do with the government. Your Majesty shouldn't doubt you? What have you done? Or has your Majesty been a little too much?"
Yang Biao had a stiff face, thinking about what happened these days, shook his head and said, "No. I didn't do anything."
Speaking of this, Yang Biao suddenly said: "Before I killed the Yuan family, Tingwei told me that I would eat the emperor's salary and worry about the emperor."
Wang Lang immediately said: "It's not Zhong Yao, it's Your Majesty!"
Yang Biao looked shocked, sat up straight, and said, "You mean, His Majesty is hinting at me?"
Wang Lang frowned, nodded and said, "It's His Majesty's wish. It should be His Majesty who wants you to do something."
Yang Biao was a smart man, so he didn't understand. He smiled bitterly and said, "How dare I at that time."
In recent months, the court has been in turmoil and everyone is in danger. Who dares to take the lead?
Wang Lang somewhat understood Yang Biao's situation and said, "What do you think?"
Yang Biao looked at his left leg and said, "The big deal..."
Wang Lang quickly said: "No!"
Yang Biao sighed, dejected and silent.
Wang Lang was also thinking hard in his heart. The difficulty now was not the prime minister, but that his majesty in the palace was not at ease with Yang Biao.
"How about..." Wang Lang said two words, and suddenly there was a knock on the door.
"What's the matter?" Yang Biao asked a little irritably.
"Owner,"
The servant outside the door said in a loud voice: "The Huns have crossed the Great Wall and have reached Yanmen County."
Yang Biao and Wang Lang were shocked at the same time. They looked at each other. Yang Biao struggled to stand up, hurriedly opened the door and said, "When did it happen? Where did the news come from?"
The servant said: "It was the Chancellor who sent a message to ask the master to enter the palace immediately."
Yang Biao's fat face trembled and he looked at Wang Lang.
Wang Lang thought about Bingzhou and said solemnly: "Bingzhou is in ruins. If Yanmen falls, the Huns can march straight in, as far as Luoyang! Don't delay!"
Of course Yang Biao knew. He felt a headache and said, "Sit down for a moment. I'll be back soon."
With that said, he limped out.
The last time the Qiang people were close to reaching Luoyang, they fought for a year in the land of Sanfu. If the Huns marched straight in, how could the imperial court resist them?
Now most of the troops are in Yanzhou to quell the chaos!
Wang Lang looked at his back, frowning, and after a long time, he sighed softly: "There are internal and external troubles..."
Yang Biao hurriedly entered the palace and rushed to the Chancellor's desk, but he didn't see Liu Bian, and he couldn't help but be startled.
Wang Yun, Xun You, and Zhong Yao looked back at him. Although the decree had not yet been issued, Yang Biao did have the prestige of being in charge.
Yang Biao saw that each of them looked solemn and said with a normal expression: "Your Majesty hasn't arrived yet?"
Xun You said: "The palace said that His Majesty left the palace not long ago and has not returned yet."
Yang Biao limped and sat down in his seat without saying anything. He was thinking about how to deal with the Huns going south.
If the Huns attacked Luoyang, the consequences would be unimaginable!
That is something that has not happened to the Han Dynasty for four hundred years!
Seeing that everyone was silent, Wang Yun felt angry in his heart. He looked at Yang Biao and said, "Prime Minister, you should say something, right?"
Yang Biao raised his little eyes, looked at him, and then lowered his head.
Wang Yun sneered in his heart, turned to Xun You and Zhong Yao, and said, "You two?"
Zhong Yao and Xun You had already discussed it. After hearing this, Xun You said: "My lord, what I want to do is to ask the three auxiliary troops to allocate 10,000 troops to garrison Taiyuan and hold it in Taiyuan, and then mobilize troops and horses to drive out the Xiongnu. "
Wang Yun said expressionlessly: "Have you ever thought about why the Huns bypassed Wuyuan? Did Niu Fu collude with the Huns?"
Niu Fu, troops are currently stationed in Wuyuan.
Xun You naturally thought about it and said, "What does the prince mean?"
Wang Yun snorted coldly and said: "Behead Dong Zhuo first to boost morale!"
Xun You and Zhong Yao were startled and said in unison: "No!"
In this case, Niu Fu would have to rebel if he didn't want to!
Then, Xun You said urgently: "Prince and Niu Fu may not be colluding with the Xiongnu. Taiwei Dong has not returned yet. Everything can still be changed. Don't make a hasty decision."
Wang Yun looked unkind and said: "How long do we have to wait? The Huns have already surrounded Yanmen!"
Xun You glanced outside the door and noticed that Liu Bian was late. He said, "My lord, let's leave the matter of Lieutenant Dong aside for now. Who should the imperial court send to lead the troops?"
Wang Yun said without hesitation: "Lu Ziqian."
That is Lu Zhi.
Xun You said: "Lu Shijun is naturally suitable, but since he is Bingzhou Mu, should he be given a higher title or should the imperial court send someone?"
Wang Yun looked slightly tense and said: "No!"
Lu Zhi's own prestige was very high, at least not comparable to that of Wang Yun. If he continued to increase his official position, Bingzhou would not be able to accommodate him.
Xun You looked confused.
Wang Yun instantly regained his expressionless expression and said: "The Grand Sima will return to the capital soon, and the Grand Sima will lead the troops."
"No,"
At this time, Liu Bian strode in and said, "I am determined to fight in person!"
As soon as he finished speaking, everyone in the hall was shocked!
Please give me two monthly passes~~~
