Wang Yun reacted and quickly raised his hand and said: "Your Majesty, General Zhengbei, is it too much?"
Liu Bian smiled and said: "Logically speaking, for such a great contribution, it is not an exaggeration to be granted a title of marquis. Do you think the Qing family thinks that rewarding a general who conquered the north is too much?"
Titles in the Han Dynasty have become very common in recent years. Not to mention that you can be awarded a title just by making some merits. Even those twelve regular servants in the past were still ranked as princes.
Then there were countless county marquises, rural marquises, etc., and they gradually lost the strong attraction of the Western Han Dynasty when they searched thousands of miles to find feudal marquises.
Wang Yun looked at Liu Bian with a wary and uneasy expression. He paused and said, "Your Majesty, Cao Cao holds tens of thousands of troops and horses, which is inconsistent with the imperial system. Please break down his military power."
Liu Bian waved his hand and said: "I originally talked about Jizhou, but why did I get around to Cao Cao? What do you think we should do in Jizhou?"
Yang Biao suddenly understood and said: "Your Majesty, I ask General Bei to go north to Jizhou."
'General Zhengbei' goes north, what's the problem?
Wang Yun suddenly understood, thought for a while, and said: "Your Majesty, I ask General Bei to lead 30,000 troops into Jizhou to assist the Jizhou herders to quell the chaos."
Only then did Liu Bian smile with satisfaction and said: "Cao Cao is still conquering Donglai County, and it is estimated that he will not be able to leave for the time being. He ordered Xiahou Dun to be Zuo Zhonglang General and lead 20,000 troops to respond to Shao's dispatch."
Wang Yun was not satisfied with Cao Cao's only 20,000 troops, and immediately said: "Your Majesty, in Cao Cao's petition for merit, he praised Cao Ren more. I would like to send Cao Ren to lead an army of 20,000 troops and return it to Qingzhou to be dispatched by Zhu Jun."
Liu Bian thought for a while and said, "Yes. Stationed in Chang'an."
Beihai State Chang'an is close to Langya County in Xuzhou, and the purpose is self-evident.
Seeing that Liu Bian agreed with his advice, Wang Yun became more confident and said: "Your Majesty, I invite Gongsun Zan to attack Jiangxia County."
'Jiangxia County? '
Liu Bian remained calm, but he said to himself: "This scene is becoming more and more familiar." '
"good."
Liu Bian smiled and nodded, and said: "For the specific strategy of entering the army, Grand Sima's Mansion will prepare a statement and show it to me."
"I accept the decree." Huangfu Song and Lu Zhi raised their hands at the same time.
Liu Bian took a sip of tea, stood up, and said, "That's it for today. All other matters will be submitted to you after discussion."
The five people stood up together, raised their hands and said, "I'm leaving."
Liu Bian took the lead to leave the study. After walking a few steps, he suddenly said: "Zhong Qing's family is here with me."
Zhong Yao, Yang Biao, Wang Yun and others raised their hands and quickly followed Liu Bian.
After walking for a while, I saw Liu Bian seemed to be walking towards the censor's stage. He couldn't help but be startled and said: "Your Majesty, is this?"
Liu Bian was still thinking about the matter in Jizhou. When he heard this, he looked up, said oh, turned to the Yushitai, and said, "How is the Qing family's practice of Han law?"
Zhong Yao followed Liu Bian and said: "Your Majesty, at present it is still the first 'stealing law' of the 'Nine Chapter Laws'. There are many disputes between the government and the public, and the ministers are still discussing it in order to improve it."
Revising the law is not a simple matter, especially in the current complex environment, which requires even more considerations.
Liu Bian habitually picked up the jade pendant around his waist and said: "Well, you have to be cautious. The severity should be appropriate. Generally speaking, the people should be lenient and the power should be strict. Recently, some powerful children in Beijing have begun to make trouble again. ? There are several memorials for impeaching the Luoyang Order every day."
Zhong Yao looked solemn and said: "Your Majesty, the Tingwei Mansion will never show favoritism. Regardless of the powerful, everyone will be treated equally!"
Liu Bian raised his head and glanced at the sun, wiped the sweat from his forehead, and said: "It's still not enough, it should be stricter. For those who refuse to change despite repeated admonitions, the punishments must be increased. For big families with lax discipline, there must also be punishments."
Zhong Yao looked troubled and said: "Your Majesty, the Tingwei Mansion may not have such great power."
After he finished speaking, he arrived at the Yushitai. He couldn't help but pause in his steps and his eyes showed his thoughts.
Yang Biao, Wang Yun and others not far behind him had different expressions when they saw Liu Bian walking towards the censor's stage.
"I see your Majesty!" Liu Biao had already received the news and hurried out to greet him.
"Without courtesy, I'm here..." Liu Bian smiled, and just as he was about to speak, Xu Yan hurried over and said urgently: "Your Majesty, Bu Qihou is ill."
Liu Bian remained calm, his eyes flickered, and he said, "Are you sick? What disease?"
Fu Shou, the daughter of Hou Fu Wan, was about to marry Liu Xie. At this time, Fu Wan was ill?
Xu Yan said: "I don't know, I don't know the news from the Marquis Mansion. Princess Yang'an requested to suspend the marriage. I'm afraid there will be a period of filial piety."
Liu Bian raised his eyebrows and couldn't help but put his hands behind his back.
The meaning of 'filial piety period' is very simple, that is, Fu Wan may die?
"Do you know?" Liu Bian turned around and looked at Zhong Yao and Liu Biao.
Both of them raised their hands and said, "I don't know."
Liu Bian laughed and said: "The illness is so sudden. You two gentlemen, please come with me to visit the patient."
"Yes." Zhong Yao and Liu Biao bowed, their expressions slightly tense.
After all, Liu Xie is a 'troublesome figure' that no one wants to touch.
Fu Wan suddenly became seriously ill when he was about to get married.
The two of them looked at Liu Bian's back and wondered in their hearts what attitude the majesty in front of them had towards Liu Xie.
No matter how much His Majesty preaches about royal harmony and brotherhood; no matter how harmonious Empress Dowager Dong, Empress Dowager He, and Liu Xie appear, everyone only believes in one thing - the most ruthless imperial family!
"Call Liu Xie, too." Liu Bian said again after walking a few steps.
Pan Yin responded: "Yes."
One entered the Yellow Gate and ran to the Shangshu Terrace not far away, where Liu Xie had been listening to politics.
Not long after, the ten-year-old Liu Xie came behind Liu Bian, raised his hand with a calm face and said: "Your Majesty, Liu Xie, see you."
Liu Bian waved his hand, got on the carriage, and said, "Come up, everyone."
Liu Xie glanced at Zhong Yao and Liu Biao from the corner of his eye, and followed Liu Bian into the carriage.
Zhong Yao and Liu Biao entered the carriage one after another without any expression. After greeting them, they sat on both sides.
Liu Bian played with the jade pendant in his hand and asked Zhong Yao, "I just mentioned to the Qing family that the dandies in the capital have appeared again?"
Zhong Yao bowed and said, "Yes."
Liu Bian thought for a while, looked at Liu Biao and said, "The Tingwei Mansion does not have enough power and responsibilities. The Liu Qing family and the Yushitai must show their courage."
Liu Biao looked like an elegant scholar. He pretended to ponder for a moment and said: "Your Majesty, the censors patrolling the city from the censor station have also arrested a dozen of them recently, but they were just fighting and molesting women, which is nothing." It’s a big deal, so I’ll fine you some money and let you go.”
Liu Bian snorted coldly and said: "If you don't punish small things, wait until they commit big things? From now on, all those who commit adultery and commit crimes in the capital and refuse to change after repeated admonitions will be sent to the army, regardless of their dignity or origin. For families with lax discipline, those who join the officialdom , promotion and transfer are prohibited for three years. Those who have not entered the official position will not be allowed to enter the official position for three years."
Liu Biao was shocked, hesitantly raised his hand and said: "Your Majesty, is it too harsh?"
"Is it harsh?" Liu Bian said calmly.
Liu Biao's expression changed slightly, and he bowed and said, "I accept the order."
Liu Bian said expressionlessly: "From now on, the Yushitai will send a supervisory censor to inspect the seven northern states. With the permission of the county magistrate, all the following officials, big and small, can be dismissed immediately. With the consent of the county magistrate, all officials below the county magistrate can be dismissed. Officials, big and small. With the consent of the state pastor and governor, all the following officials, big and small, can be dismissed."
This time it was not just Liu Biao who was shocked, Zhong Yao and Liu Xie also changed their expressions and looked at Liu Bian in surprise.
This gives too much power to the supervisory censor!
Liu Bian held the jade pendant in his hand, pondered for a moment, and said, "Send another group to Yizhou."
Zhong Yao looked solemn and said: "Your Majesty, I am worried that the excessive power of the supervisory censor will lead to greater chaos."
Liu Bian said: "I'm not afraid of trouble. What I'm worried about is that they go there with great courage, eat and drink well all the way, and come back without any trouble!"
Zhong Yao stopped talking. The corruption of officials in the Han Dynasty could no longer be explained clearly in a few words.
Liu Bian looked at Liu Biao and said, "Liu Qing's family, is there any problem?"
Logically speaking, this gave Liu Biao huge power. Instead of feeling happy, Liu Biao felt uneasy and said: "Your Majesty, the restructuring of the Yushitai has not been completed yet, and I am worried that I am not able to do it."
Liu Bian stared at Liu Biao, as if he suddenly remembered, and said: "I have received several memorials recently, which are to recommend the Qing family to be appointed as the shepherds of Yanzhou. Is the Qing family interested in leaving the capital?"
Liu Biao's heart suddenly became cold, and he quickly said: "Your Majesty, they are all recommended by others, not by my minister's instructions. Please tell me clearly."
Liu Bian turned a deaf ear and suddenly turned to Liu Xie and said with a smile: "How much have you learned at Shangshutai recently?"
Liu Xie was more nervous than the other two, but his face was calm. He bowed and said, "Your Majesty, I have benefited a lot, but there are still many things I don't understand."
Liu Bian nodded and said with a smile: "It's normal to not understand. I also have a lot of things I don't understand. Let's learn as we go. From tomorrow on, you will go to the Yushitai to supervise all officials for me and maintain the court's discipline."
Liu Xie's eyes kept blinking and he didn't know how to answer the question.
He wants to go to Yushitai?
Liu Biao could no longer maintain his distinguished appearance. He raised his hands and didn't know what to say for a while.
Zhong Yao looked on coldly, but he understood and did not interrupt.
The 'restructuring' of the Yushitai from last year to now can be said to be quite slow, especially the supervisory censors sent out, who have almost no achievements.
'I'm afraid your Majesty is quite dissatisfied? 'Zhong Yao thought to himself.
Then, Zhong Yao opened his eyes slightly, and then lowered his head calmly.
Among Fu Wan’s official positions, there is another one - Yu Shi Cheng!
Your Majesty's visit to the Yushitai today and then to the Fuwan Mansion was definitely not a whim!
Zhong Yao glanced at Liu Biao out of the corner of his eye and saw that he looked uneasy and confused, so he shook his head secretly.
"Your Majesty, we're here." After a while, Pan Yin's voice came from outside the carriage.
Liu Bian got off the carriage and saw the noble Princess Liu Hua of Yang'an standing at the door with a respectful look on her face.
When Liu Hua saw Liu Bian, he quickly stepped forward to greet him and said, "I have met your Majesty."
As soon as she finished speaking, she saw Liu Xie coming down with a look of nervousness on his heavily rosy face.
Liu Bian watched her expression and looked up inside.
Liu Xie stood next to Liu Bian and looked at the future mother-in-law with a dark face.
He has always had a doubt in his heart. He and Fu Shou were actually engaged, but this was witnessed by his father in Ye Ting. He and Fu Shou exchanged tokens, and no one else knew about it!
'Does he know? Liu Xie stared at Liu Bian out of the corner of his eye, feeling uneasy.
Seeing that everyone had come down, Liu Bian looked at the flustered Liu Hua and said with a smile: "Princess, don't you invite me to come in and sit down?"
Liu Hua was startled and said hurriedly: "Your Majesty, please, Your Majesty, please."
Liu Bian stepped in and saw many wealthy servants, dressed in extraordinary clothes, and the courtyard was decorated in a very luxurious way.
After taking a quick glance, Liu Bian walked around the garden and walked to the front hall, saying, "Eldest Princess, where is Fu Shou?"
Liu Hua followed closely beside Liu Bian and said with a smile: "Your Majesty, she is ill. Knowing that his father is seriously ill, she became anxious and fell ill too."
"By the way," Liu Bian said, "Pan Yin, has the doctor arrived?"
When was the doctor informed?
Pan Yin knew it but said calmly: "Your Majesty, we are already on the way."
Liu Bian nodded and said: "Later, let the doctor take a good look at Fu Shou. Princess, are there any difficulties in the house recently?"
Seeing Liu Bian's quick steps, Liu Hua followed him in small steps, and said in a nervous tone: "Thank you, Your Majesty. Everything is well in the house, and I thank you for your thoughts."
Zhong Yao stared at Liu Hua, and when he saw her reaction, he glanced at Liu Biao quietly.
Liu Biao calmed down a little now. He noticed Zhong Yao's gaze and couldn't help but be startled, a little confused.
Liu Bian led a group of people to the front hall. After sitting down, without waiting for tea, he smiled and said: "Elder Princess, Liu Zhongcheng intends to be the governor of Jingzhou, so the censor Zhongcheng is vacant. I originally hoped that the Fu Qing family would take over. Yes, it seems it won’t work now.”
Liu Hua looked at Liu Bian blankly, his mouth opened, but no sound came out.
Liu Biao, on the other hand, was trembling all over, with fear in his eyes.
Jingzhou is now under the control of Yuan Shu. If he goes to serve as the governor of Jingzhou, isn't he going to die?
He somewhat understood Zhong Yao's eyes, looked at him from the corner of his eye, and the corners of his face twitched unconsciously.
Zhong Yao sat there without squinting.
Liu Xie frowned, his face tense.
"Okay, that's it."
Liu Bian suddenly stood up and was about to leave. Suddenly he said to Liu Hua: "Eldest Princess, the marriage between Liu Xie and Fu Shou should be brought forward as a blessing to Bu Qihou."
Liu Hua, who was about to stand up just now, stumbled and almost fell back, and said in a voiceless voice: "Your Majesty, Your Majesty, that..."
Before she could stand still, Liu Bian had already left the front hall.
Liu Xie, Liu Biao and Zhong Yao naturally followed immediately and did not dare to wait for a moment longer.
Liu Hua hurriedly sent Liu Bian to the carriage, turned around and ran to the backyard impatiently.
When she came to the ward, she said anxiously: "Stop pretending, His Majesty said that Fu Shou and Liu Xie will get married in advance!"
Fu Wan lay there, motionless, staring at the roof beams, and said: "I know everything. Please be quiet for a while and let me think about it."
"What else are you thinking about? If your daughter marries Liu Xie, she will be left a widow. Maybe she will also implicate our entire Fu family..." Liu Hua was about to cry.
Fu Wan remained calm and said, "Your Majesty didn't say he didn't come to see me, and he didn't even ask about my condition. Don't you think there's something wrong?"
Liu Hua stopped crying suddenly and said in shock: "You mean, Your Majesty, you guessed that you were pretending to be sick?"
Fu Wan gradually calmed down, sighed softly, and said: "You should prepare yourself so that Shou'er can enter the palace as soon as possible."
"You..." Liu Hua was anxious.
Before she could finish speaking, Fu Wan said to himself again: "Your Majesty... you cannot disobey..."
Sorry, I went to the hospital for a checkup today. Unexpectedly, I had to wait in line for too long. The replacement plan is bankrupt o(╥﹏╥)o
Set up a flag and we will get thousands more tomorrow! !
