Xun You, Zhong Yao and others looked at Xun Yu's walking back with different expressions.
He Yong suddenly said: "Should I suggest to Your Majesty... that the canonization ceremony should be more grand?"
Xun You nodded and shook his head and said, "I don't know if he is a prince, but it is not good to show off too much."
Zhong Yao looked serious and said, "However, your Majesty told us that he must have other intentions."
Xun You nodded again and then said: "Let's go back to the Chancellor's desk first."
As they spoke, they turned to the Chancellor's desk. As soon as they entered the door, they heard a loud noise coming from Prime Minister Yang Biao's duty, and many people stretched their heads to watch the show.
Xun You listened for a while, then suddenly turned cold and shouted: "Are you all free?"
Everyone was silent and ran away quickly.
Xun You, Zhong Yao, and He Yong came forward to Yang Biao's room, and saw Wang Yun standing in front of Yang Biao, loudly accusing him.
"Dong Zhuo's rebellion is an unprecedented event! As the prime minister, you don't say a word and eat nothing but your corpse. How can you be worthy of the title of prime minister?"
Yang Biao had obviously been sprayed for a long time, his face turned red and his neck thickened, he glared at Wang Yun and said: "I am the Prime Minister, do you know the superiority and inferiority of superiors and inferiors? Is this your attitude towards the Prime Minister as a junior official?"
"The king has made mistakes, but his ministers can still rebuke him. Why can't the prime minister? Dong Zhuo has 50,000 elite soldiers and is killing and looting in Pei. As the prime minister, can you say anything?"
Wang Yun's back was turned to the three of them, and his expression could not be seen clearly, but his anger could also be heard in his voice.
The three of them looked at each other, hesitating whether to go in or not.
They hesitated, but Wang Yun did not hesitate, waved his hand, and said: "That Xun Yu is Xun You's nephew. Looking at the government and the public, more than half of them are Yingchuan party members, but you can't see it? Why is there not a single word of advice in the Jiade Hall? nothing?"
Yang Biao was obviously very angry. He tugged on his collar and said loudly: "As Zuocheng, don't you only know how to give advice? Dong Zhuo doesn't take the truth seriously at all. As long as you can raise money and food, you will The prime minister personally led the troops to destroy him!"
Xun You, Zhong Yao, and He Yong saw that Yang Biao was confused and started talking nonsense. They looked at each other, turned around and left without going in.
Yang Biao and Wang Yun were still quarreling. The two people who already disliked each other obviously touched the trigger and the conflict became public.
Jingfu Hall, inside the study.
Liu Bian poured tea for Xun Yu who was opposite him, looked at Xun Yu calmly, and said with a smile: "The Qing family previously said in the Jiade Hall that my state affairs are "chaotic, patchwork, and set up according to the situation. It’s just an outline, but there’s no long-term plan. Can you elaborate?”
Xun Yu was also observing this young majesty. He had received the imperial edict last year, but he still failed to come to Beijing due to various reasons. It was possible that he had not failed to examine the purpose of the imperial court.
The view of the decline of the Han Dynasty and the demise of the Han Dynasty has been widely circulated for more than ten years.
In recent years, the signs of the collapse of the Han Dynasty have become more and more obvious!
Xun Yu withdrew his gaze, bowed slightly, and said, "I oppose almost all policies currently implemented by the imperial court."
Liu Bian's tea cup reached his mouth. He raised his eyebrows when he heard this, looked at him, and said with a smile: "The Qing family continues."
Xun Yu clearly felt that Liu Bian's eyes were sharp, and there was nothing strange about his old face, and he said: "I believe that the imperial court must strengthen its roots and strengthen its power, but the policy pursued by the imperial court is exactly the opposite, and it has set off all kinds of troubles." Huge turmoil, floating hearts, rebellion and ups and downs, deeply damaging the country's foundation, will only make the imperial court continue to wear out, and I, the great Han Dynasty, will decline even more..."
Liu Bian remained calm as he gently put the tea cup into his mouth.
Xun Yu's words are actually correct. The court should avoid turmoil as much as possible and accumulate strength to deal with the chaos.
What Xun Yu failed to see was that the enemy of the Han Dynasty was not the Yellow Turban Army, but the gentry who stood on the land annexation.
If it were a prosperous time, Liu Bian could use many means to divide and attack the aristocratic families and curb land annexation without harming the national situation.
But now is the end of the dynasty, and the aristocratic families have taken shape. The real threat to the Han Dynasty is Zuo, which will cause the Han Dynasty to fall apart and make China sink. It is precisely the greed of the aristocratic families!
Historically, the fall of the Han Dynasty was attributed to Dong Zhuo's chaos. In fact, Dong Zhuo was just a knife polished by a family, but the ambition of this knife was greater than that of the family, and it backfired on them!
'No destruction, no establishment...'
Liu Bian whispered in his heart, still smiling on his face, and said: "What does the Qing family think is the top priority in current national affairs?"
Xun Yu couldn't detect anything from Liu Bian's tone. He pondered for a moment and said: "I believe that the first thing is to sort out the national affairs and formulate general strategies. The most important thing is to stabilize the people, supplemented by taxation, strong troops, official administration, land reclamation, and farming... Formulate detailed goals and policies, unite them, and support each other, rather than working independently, working alone, or even conflicting with each other..."
Liu Bian listened, his eyes slightly narrowed, and he kept nodding in his mind.
Various policies he implemented, including the abolition of the Sangong Mansion, the restoration of the prime minister, the clearing of the land of the father-in-law, the census of household members, etc., were actually all driven by his "wishful thinking". It was relatively chaotic, and he needed a stick to move forward.
Liu Bian no longer doubts Xun Yu's ability. Being able to point this out shows that Xun Yu studied the court situation very deeply.
'Ability cannot be judged by age. '
Liu Bian secretly warned, and suddenly asked: "What do the Qing family think of Yuan Shu's rebellion and Dong Zhuo's quelling the rebellion?"
Just as Xun Yu was about to speak, a man from Zhonghuang Gate hurriedly came to the door and said, "Your Majesty, the Queen Mother has summoned Cai Taichang and Cai Xiaoniang to the palace."
Liu Bian raised his eyebrows, so fast?
He waved his hands, smiled with Xun Yu and said, "The Qing family continues."
Xun Yu thought for a moment and then said: "I believe that your Majesty has a way to control Dong Zhuo and destroy Yuan Shu. Your Majesty is also confident."
Liu Bian looked at Xun Yu, smiled more and more, and said: "From now on, affairs will be discussed every three days in the Shizhonglu. The Qing family, the officials Cao Shangshu, and the Hu Cao Shangshu will often sit down."
Xun Yu raised his hand and said, "I accept the order."
His slightly older face remained motionless, but he knew in his heart that he had passed the test.
Liu Bian glanced at him again, without saying anything more, got up and headed to Yongle Palace.
…
At the same time, news of Cai Wenji's pregnancy quietly circulated among some big figures inside and outside the palace.
Amid the huge turmoil caused by the 'late emperor's edict', the news that Liu Bian has an heir is undoubtedly crucial and can stabilize people's hearts.
Because no matter what, when Liu Bian had no heirs, Liu Xie was the first heir, and many people still stared at Liu Xie.
But when Liu Bian has an heir, Liu Xie will no longer be important.
Some people even secretly hoped that Liu Xie would 'die' as soon as possible.
Shou'an Hall.
Liu Xie heard the news and looked in the direction of Jingfu Palace. His precocious ten-year-old face was tight and slightly pale, with a trace of fear in his eyes.
Empress Dowager Dong's hair has been getting grayer recently. She stretched out her arms and hugged Liu Xie, with a mix of hatred and pity on her face, and said, "Don't be afraid, Xie'er. With my grandmother here, no one can hurt you."
Liu Xie forced a smile, turned around and comforted Empress Dowager Dong and said, "Grandma, have you forgotten? The emperor said that the royal family is the most harmonious and sets an example for the world. There will be no fratricide."
Empress Dowager Dong felt even more distressed when she looked at her young and extremely sensible grandson.
A palace maid walked in and was stunned for a moment when she saw the appearance of the two people. She quickly said: "Empress Qi, Your Highness, Tingwei Mansion invites Your Highness to inspect."
Empress Dowager Dong hugged Liu Xie tightly and shouted: "No!"
Liu Xie was calm, patted Empress Dowager Dong's hand, turned his head, and said with a smile: "Grandma, don't worry, this was decided a month ago, it's okay."
Empress Dowager Dong breathed a sigh of relief, then frowned and said, "I'll tell him that if you claim to be sick from now on and don't leave Shou'an Hall, I'll see what he can do to you!"
Liu Xie's smile did not change and he said: "Grandma, don't worry, trust your brother, your grandson will come back as soon as he leaves."
Empress Dowager Dong looked at Liu Xie's young face and felt aggrieved and wanted to cry.
Liu Xie said a few more words of comfort and left the Shou'an Palace. Under the escort of the imperial guards, he went straight out of the palace and headed to Tingwei's Mansion.
Not long ago, an uninvited guest came to Tingwei Mansion.
In the back hall.
"You said you are the general's concubine?" Chen Qun, who was working as a historian in the Tingwei Mansion, looked at the sixteen or seventeen-year-old young woman in front of him with some surprise.
The young woman was holding a child, kneeling on the ground, with a look of fear on her face, and said, "Yes. Please help Ting Wei."
Zhong Yao looked serious and whispered to Chen Qun: "Go and watch outside the door and don't allow anyone to come near."
Chen Qun nodded, glanced at the young woman again, went out, dismissed the others, and stood quietly under the steps. He couldn't help but look back at the closed door with curiosity.
Zhong Yao looked more serious than ever before, his eyes flashed constantly, and he was even more frightened than the young woman in front of him.
After a long while, he fixed his gaze and said, "You said before that someone wanted to harm you. Who was it?"
The young woman's mouth moved, her head lowered, and she hugged the child tightly without speaking.
Zhong Yao glanced at the child and said, "Is this the general's child?"
"Yeah." The young woman said.
Zhong Yao became more and more uneasy. He stepped forward to the young woman, looked down at her, stared into her eyes sharply, and shouted in a low voice: "I ask you, is there really a decree left by the late emperor?"
The young woman shook her head repeatedly and said, "I don't know, the master never said anything."
A big stone suddenly fell to the ground in Zhong Yao's heart, and he subconsciously let out a long sigh of relief.
If a copy of the late emperor's edict were placed in front of Zhong Yao, it would pose an unprecedented problem for him!
Fortunately not.
Zhong Yao stared at the young woman and vaguely guessed who it was. He didn't want to pursue the grievances and grudges. The headache now was how to arrange the general's concubine.
You must not hand it over, otherwise the mother and son will probably die; if you don't hand it over, you will hide it. If it is discovered, he will also be implicated.
dong dong dong
Chen Qun knocked on the door gently and whispered: "Tingwei, King Bohai is here."
Zhong Yao's expression changed slightly, and then he looked at the young woman with a serious look, and said: "I will use you as a maid in the Tingwei Mansion, and you must not say anything!"
"Thank you, Lieutenant Ting!" The young woman hugged the child and kowtowed excitedly.
Zhong Yao opened the door, Ningse and Chen Qun said: "You arrange for her to enter the house and keep it a secret from everyone!"
Chen Qun understood the importance and nodded: "Okay."
Zhong Yao took a deep breath, straightened his clothes, and walked to the front hall to greet Liu Xie.
"Your Highness, please."
Zhong Yao received Liu Xie and motioned him to go inside.
Liu Xie nodded pretending to be calm, followed Zhong Yao, inspecting each duty room, listening to Zhong Yao's report on the restructuring and affairs of Tingwei Mansion, and then inspected the dungeon.
Zhong Yao followed Liu Xie and said unhurriedly: "The imperial court is reorganizing the prisons. Because the Tingwei Mansion needs to judge prisoners, it needs a temporary detention place. With special approval from the Chancellor, fifty temporary places have been reserved." cell……"
Liu Xie looked at these cells, his scalp was numb inexplicably, the corners of his mouth moved, and he suddenly said: "Zhong Tingwei, I heard that Miss Cai is pregnant?"
This has been a tacit secret among the top management.
Zhong Yao bowed and said, "I don't know."
Liu Xie turned back to look at him and said, "Liu Ting really doesn't know?"
Zhong Yao and Liu Xie looked at each other, and immediately waved away the people behind him. He thought for a moment and said, "As a court official, I would like to ask King Bohai whether the late emperor really left any edicts?"
Liu Xie frowned, his young face turned pale, and said, "I have never heard of it, nor have I seen it."
Zhong Yao remained calm and said, "Since there is no edict, why should your highness worry?"
Liu Xie looked at Zhong Yao, hesitated to speak, and finally said: "I heard that Dong Zhuo did not do enough to quell the chaos?"
If Yuan Shu was unjust, Liu Xie would be roasted on the fire.
Zhong Yao said: "Your Highness should get closer to His Majesty."
Liu Xie heard what Zhong Yao meant, raised his hand and said, "Thank you very much, Lieutenant Ting."
Zhong Yao didn't say anything more, thinking of sending Liu Xie away as soon as possible.
at the same time.
Queen Mother He pulled Cai Wenji and was talking passionately.
"Be outside the palace, stay outside the palace,"
Originally, Liu Bian was worried that the Queen Mother He would not agree. Unexpectedly, the Queen Mother He directly said to Cai Yong and Cai Wenji: "It is not easy to make a living in the palace. Bian'er grew up outside the palace. It will not be too late to enter the palace in a few years. Wait." Later, I will choose some people to send to the Cai Mansion. They must be able to raise the baby with peace of mind. Don’t worry too much. The queen has the final say in everything..."
Cai Wenji glanced at Liu Bian and said softly: "I listen to my mother."
Hearing this, Queen Mother He opened her mouth from ear to ear happily and said: "Okay, okay, let me tell you, this childbirth..."
At this point, seeing Liu Bian and Cai Yong there, he kept his mouth shut and picked up the teacup to drink tea with an expressionless expression.
Liu Bian immediately understood and said to Cai Yong with a smile: "Cai Qing's family, I have something to ask you. Let's go out and talk about it."
Cai Yong was also discerning and quickly stood up and said, "Yes."
"When giving birth, you must be calm and don't be afraid..."
Before Liu Bian and Cai Yong walked out, Queen Mother He's excited laughter came out again.
Liu Bian shook his head. The relationship between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law is a difficult problem in the world and cannot be characterized by temporary harmony.
After leaving Yongle Palace, Liu Bian put his hands behind his back and said to Cai Yong: "Recently, some people say that the Qing family's involvement in Shangshutai affairs is not justified..."
Cai Yong's expression suddenly became nervous, and he bowed more and more.
Liu Bian was walking without noticing, and said: "So, I am considering setting up six more people under the left and right servants of the minister's desk to participate in political affairs. A total of nine people will govern six cao and nine temples. Prime Minister’s National Affairs.”
Cai Yong felt relieved and quickly raised his hand and said: "Your Majesty, you are wise."
Liu Bian slowly thought about it in his mind and said: "In the Qing family, the official Cao Shangshu Xun You, the Hu Cao Shangshu He Yong, and the minister Xun Yu will join in to know the political affairs."
This is the official entrance to the Chancellor’s desk!
Cai Yong was overjoyed and raised his hand hurriedly: "I accept the order and thank you!"
Sorry, the status is very poor and I have written a little less.
Update first and then repair. When your health is better, update immediately.
