When Wang Yun rushed to the palace, it was already over.
Only Cai Yong was waiting for him.
"Forgive me, forgive me."
In Wang Yun's duty room at the Chancellor's Desk, he raised his hand and repeatedly confessed to Cai Yong.
Cai Yong didn't care. He smelled Wang Yun's alcohol smell and asked doubtfully: "Your Majesty, are you attending a banquet?"
Wang Yun drank strong tea to refresh himself, shook his head, and said, "Is Yicheng ready?"
Cai Yong took a document and handed it to Wang Yun.
Wang Yun took it and read it carefully. Seeing that he was responsible for so many things, he pretended to think and said, "What does the Prime Minister do?"
Cai Yong said: "The prime minister is mainly responsible for entertaining guests."
'After all, there are four generations and three masters. '
Wang Yun muttered to himself, raised his head to look at Cai Yong, and suddenly his heart moved slightly, and said: "Bo Zhe, what do you think of Cao Cao's affairs in Qingzhou?"
Bo Zhe, the character of Cai Yong.
When Cai Yong saw Wang Yun's question, his expression dropped slightly. After thinking for a while, he and Wang Yun were not considered outsiders, and said, "I think that after Cao Cao passed, the court was too indulgent."
Seeing Cai Yong say this, Wang Yun felt a complicated feeling that "I am not alone in my ways". Looking at Cai Yong, he had countless things to say, but when he came to his mouth, he said: "We will hold a wedding for King Bohai. Apart from His Majesty, To protect your younger brother, and also to combat rebellious morale, you must be generous."
"That's what the prince said." Cai Yong said hesitantly. He was also the one who was isolated in Shizhonglu, and he felt somewhat depressed that his ambitions were unfulfilled.
For a moment, the two people who felt the same way were speechless.
After a while, Wang Yun said: "Bojie, there is a banquet at my home tonight, how about we come together?"
"How dare you refuse the prince's invitation?" Cai Yong said with a smile.
Wang Yun also smiled, quickly adjusted his mentality, and talked about Liu Xie's marriage.
…
Because of Liu Xie's wedding, there was a festive atmosphere in the palace for the first time in a long time.
Empress Dowager Dong seemed to sense that Liu Bian had no ill intentions, and smiled a lot more. She took the initiative to visit the Fu family and arrange many wedding matters.
No matter how reluctant the Empress Dowager He was, as her aunt, she still showed her face and gave countless rewards to the Fu family and the Bohai Palace in public.
As the wedding day approaches, the government and the public seem to have forgotten the many battles and conflicts. They are coming and going, greeting each other, and it is very lively.
The first year of Yonghan, August 11th.
The entire palace seemed to have been awake all night, and everyone was working overtime.
Shou'an Hall.
Liu Bian, Queen Mother He and a large group of people looked at Liu Xie with smiles on their faces.
Liu Xie was a little nervous. He was wearing the groom's wedding dress and felt a little at a loss.
Empress Dowager Dong arranged his clothes and kept telling him: "Later, everything will go according to Taichang's arrangement, you don't have to say anything."
Liu Xie nodded, unable to say a word.
"Empress Dowager Qi, the time has come." Xu Yan came in from outside and said happily.
Empress Dowager Dong was reluctant to let go, but kept saying: "They will take you there later. You should also be careful yourself and don't do or say anything wrong."
Liu Bian and Queen Mother He didn't say anything. It took a while before Liu Xie walked out of Shou'an Palace. Under the leadership of Wang Yun, hundreds of people meandered out of the palace.
Liu Bian and others watched, chatting and laughing as they walked towards the back hall of Qufei Palace.
After waiting to sit down, Prime Minister Yang Biao and others came one after another. They sat down and talked with happy words.
Yang Biao's fat face trembled, and he said with a smile: "Your Majesty made the wedding of King Bohai so lively, which shows the love of brotherhood and is really the envy of all the subjects in the world."
Bingcao Shangshu Liu Dai, as a member of the clan, was now a little closer to Er Xun. He, who had always been taciturn, forced a smile and said: "King Bohai is your majesty's only imperial brother, so I can't help but lively. "
Liu Bian held a teacup in his hand, looked around at the crowd with a smile, and said, "Luoyang city has not been lively for a long time. Today and tomorrow, the army is very busy."
"Your Majesty is right." Yang Biao quickly answered and said, "I think it may be more lively outside the palace."
Liu Bian smiled and nodded, looking outside the palace with deep eyes.
at the same time.
Liu Xie rode a tall horse and led a huge team to welcome the bride to Fu Mansion.
Behind him, there were as many as 300 people welcoming the bride, including not only Wang Yun and Cai Yong, but also many officials from the Six Cao and Jiu Qing, and more than ten carriages with various betrothal gifts.
The Forbidden Army was in awe, the gongs and drums cleared the way, and the ceremony was solemn.
There were countless people watching along the way, and they were talking constantly.
"Is this King Bohai?"
"Handsome, calm and natural, with the appearance of a wise king!"
"I haven't seen such a spectacular ceremony for many years."
"This is Your Majesty's only younger brother, how can you be stingy? I heard that Bohai Country's taxes have been exempted for three years."
"I heard that the Empress Dowager, the Empress Dowager has given countless rewards, and half of the treasury is empty."
"It's incredible. Only during the reign of Emperor Shizong were you so heroic, right?"
The people followed and talked a lot.
Among the crowd, some people followed quietly and observed Liu Xie's wedding team.
Until Fu Mansion, some people quietly withdrew and came to a hidden corner, whispering.
"It is estimated that there are three hundred forbidden troops in the open, and there may be several hundred secretly. It is difficult to start."
"Fu Mansion is full of forbidden troops, and our people can't get in."
"The only chance is on the road. Once Dong Hou enters the palace, there will be no chance again."
"What to do now? The news has spread all over the world, and the Lord's army has been greatly affected. Some people in Jingzhou have rebelled one after another. Yuan Gong is now attacking Jiaozhi with all his strength, and the morale of the army cannot be shaken!..."
"We must rescue Donghou as soon as possible!"
Before he finished speaking, everyone suddenly leaned against the wall, holding weapons in their hands.
A big man came in a hurry and was startled when he saw this. He quickly said in a deep voice: "There is news from the Forbidden Army that the Dog Emperor has a conspiracy. Once we take action, he will take the opportunity to kill Dong Hou and put the blame on the Lord!"
"What!"
The expressions of all the people changed and they looked at each other.
They never expected that while they were planning to 'save' Liu Xie, the Dog Emperor was planning to kill Liu Xie somewhere!
"Hou Dong cannot make any mistakes!"
"What should we do now?"
"Dong Hou must not die! The Lord has repeatedly ordered that Dong Hou must be rescued!"
A group of people gathered in the corner, whispering, but it seemed like there was no leader and no one could make a decision.
While they were plotting, Liu Xie led people into Fu Mansion.
After a series of complicated rituals, the bride was taken out of the house in the evening.
The process was very lively and without any surprises. Liu Xie rode a horse and led the welcoming team back to the palace in a mighty manner.
In the crowd, there were dozens of big men who looked like ordinary people, hiding sharp weapons and looking at each other quietly.
In the end, they did not take action and allowed Liu Xie to return to the palace.
The process of returning to the palace was even more complicated. Cai Yong, as Taichang, presided over the ceremony step by step. He was so busy that he was sweating profusely and soaked to the skin.
Empress Dowager Dong, as the officiant, sat on the main seat. Seeing Liu Xie, she suppressed her excitement and felt like crying several times.
Liu Xie seemed to be numb and allowed himself to be manipulated by various etiquette officials. He walked back and forth with sweat on his face and a dazed look in his eyes.
Liu Bian sat next to Empress Dowager Dong, smiling, feeling secretly relieved.
I cannot bear this kind of sin alone!
It was not until dark that Liu Xie and Fu Shou were sent to the bridal chamber, while Liu Bian, as a family member, stayed to entertain the guests.
Almost all civil and military officials from the entire dynasty were present, including Bu Qi Hou Fu Wan and Yang'an Princess Liu Hua, but the Fei Palace was full of people.
Liu Bian raised his wine glass and said loudly: "Liu Xie is getting married today. You and your family don't need to be formal. You can drink as much as you like. You won't come home until you're drunk!"
"Thank you, Your Majesty!"
Hundreds of courtiers, men, women, old and young, raised their glasses in response.
Everyone in the hall drank it all in one gulp, and soon there were all kinds of lively sounds. Everyone was very happy, nodding and talking to each other, and laughing endlessly.
Empress Dowager Dong had a rare good look on her face. She seemed very happy while talking to Cai Wenji beside her.
Queen Mother He pulled Tang Ji along, talking and laughing.
The courtiers held their wine glasses and greeted each other politely, all looking at it.
Seeing Cai Wenji and Tang Ji's big bellies, they had different expressions.
After pushing cups and changing cups for a long time, Liu Bian turned to Empress Dowager Dong and said with a smile: "Grandma, I heard from the emperor's brother that you want to live with the Prince of Bohai Palace?"
Empress Dowager Dong's smile suddenly froze, and then she forced a smile and said, "Xie'er is still young, so I'm not too worried."
Liu Bian had the same expression on his face and said: "Then I will order someone to clean up. When the time comes, I will send my grandmother there myself."
Empress Dowager Dong looked at Liu Bian blankly, seeming to guess the truth or falsehood of Liu Bian's words.
The Queen Mother He could not bear the Queen Mother Dong living in the palace for a long time. After hearing this, she quickly turned around and said with a smile: "Bian'er, you are so busy, so I'll send you off. Mother, I will personally send you off when the time comes. If you need anything, just tell me I said, I will arrange it for you."
Empress Dowager Dong felt suspicious when she saw the vicious mother and son singing along, and nodded with a stiff smile on her face.
Queen Mother He was so happy that she looked at Cai Wenji and Tang Ji again and said, "You will come with me when the time comes. King Bohai must also take care of things. Nothing is missing..."
Not to mention Tang Ji, even Cai Wenji, who had not been in the palace for a long time, could sense the complexity of the relationship between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, Queen Mother He and Queen Mother Dong. She just nodded when she heard this and did not dare to say a word.
Seeing how harmonious the family was, the courtiers below all looked at each other and nodded.
The harmony and stability of the royal family are the foundation of the country!
If the royal family is 'reconciled', then the so-called 'last emperor's edict' will be cleared away and will no longer become a sticking point for the court.
On the contrary, it is undoubtedly a major blow to Yuan Shu and other rebels who rebelled under the banner of "the late emperor's edict".
Liu Bian glanced down from the corner of his eye and continued to chat with Empress Dowager Dong and others with smiles on their faces.
Empress Dowager Dong seemed to confirm that Liu Bian had no 'malice', and then relaxed, giving Empress Dowager He a rare smile.
This made Queen Mother He very sick, but she still suppressed a smile.
Empress Dowager Dong, Empress Dowager He, and Liu Bian, three generations of their family, have at least 800 minds.
After a while, Liu Bian came down with a wine glass and sat cross-legged at Yang Biao's table, drinking and talking with him.
Basically there is no political affairs, it's all about family affairs.
Yang Biao blinked his little eyes, how dare he be careless, his fat face trembled, and he kept smiling.
Not long after, Liu Bian wiped his mouth and said with a smile: "I heard that the son of the Qing family is still preparing to become an official? Do you have any ideas? Do you want to go to Cao Cao's army and serve as a chief registrar or something like that?"
Yang Biao's little eyes opened, and he suddenly returned to normal, and said quickly: "Your Majesty, my son is naughty and went out to study again."
During the Han Dynasty, "study tours" were as popular as "errants". Anyone with some talent and learning would travel around the world, asking for advice and debating there. For fear that others would not know his reputation, he almost had the word "talented" carved on his forehead. .
Liu Bian glanced at him and said, "That's it."
Then, he stood up and walked to Huangfu Song. Seeing that his wine glass was full, he smiled and said, "Huangfu Qing's family doesn't like wine?"
Huangfu Song looked as usual and bowed: "Your Majesty, I'm sorry, I was injured many years ago. Drinking too much will cause old injuries, so I don't dare to drink more."
Liu Bian nodded and said, "Then I won't drink. The eldest son Huangfu is not bad. He is very witty and capable in the Grand Sima Mansion. How about going to Donglai County to serve as the prefect and get some experience?"
Huangfu Song's face moved unconsciously, he stared at Liu Bian for a moment, and then said: "I thank Your Majesty on behalf of the dog."
Liu Bian smiled and clinked a drink with him, looked back, came to Lu Zhi's side, and said, "Lu Qing's house, your disciple Liu Bei still hasn't been found?"
Lu Zhi's face showed a serious expression, and he bowed and said, "Yes. I suspect that he should be wandering between Guangling and Jiujiang. He is trapped and unable to communicate with him."
Liu Bei fought with Lu Bu and was defeated. He has lost all news for more than a month.
Liu Bian nodded slightly and said, "Sun Jian has already gone to Wu County. There is no vacancy for the Hanzhong Prefect. Who do the Qing family think is more suitable?"
Lu Zhi looked gloomy and said: "Your Majesty, Hanzhong is a very important matter. The Grand Sima Mansion plans to transfer Huang Zhong to guard Hanzhong temporarily."
Liu Bian was startled, then thought for a moment and said, "What does the Qing family mean by leaving the prefect of Hanzhong to Liu Bei?"
Lu Zhi raised his hand, with a serious look on his face, and said: "I am not cultivating anyone personally, nor am I selfish. I have not found a more suitable candidate than Liu Bei for the time being."
Liu Bian was thinking in his mind, nodded slightly, and said: "I can trust the Qing family's vision, so let's wait for now."
"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Lu Zhi said. He was still worried at first, but he didn't expect that His Majesty in front of him would agree to it.
Liu Bian didn't know what Lu Zhi was thinking, so he smiled and drank a drink with him. He looked back at the others, didn't drink anymore, got up and walked back up.
Everyone was watching Liu Bian's circle, and people nearby also vaguely heard something.
Wang Yun sat not far away and had a panoramic view of all the conversations. He was silent and drank quietly.
Liu Bian sat back and continued to chat with the courtiers until late at night, when he was a little drunk, and this was the end.
…
In the first year of Yonghan, in mid-August, Shangshutai.
Wang Yun looked at the memorial with the seal in his hand, his face was livid with anger, he picked it up and went straight to Yang Biao to check in.
This official document is about filling vacancies in Yanzhou. Wang Yun firmly disagrees with more than half of the 'Yingchuan Party' in it.
"Why did you submit it without my signature?!" Wang Yun said unceremoniously as soon as he entered the door.
Yang Biao slowly approved the official document, without raising his head when he heard the words, and said: "It's not me."
Wang Yun snorted coldly and said, "Your name is on it!"
Yang Biao ignored it and took the next one: "It's not too late for you to enter the palace and give advice!"
"you!?"
Wang Yun's face was livid, and when he saw that Yang Biao was not getting in, he was so angry that he waved his hand and strode away.
Yang Biao raised his eyelids and glanced, snorting disdainfully.
It's approaching noon, Yushitai.
Fu Wan almost leaned over the desk, flipping through a pile of memorials.
When he was promoted to the position of Censor Zhongcheng, he was faced with the urgent reform requirements of the Censor's Office, which he needed to get familiar with as soon as possible.
It wasn't until noon that Fu Wan raised his head with some difficulty, and said to himself in a daze: "Yushitai, are you so powerful..."
According to the requirements of 'restructuring', Yushitai not only has a certain degree of 'power of life and death' over local states and counties, but in Beijing, if Yushitai concentrates its efforts, it can even pose a 'threat to everyone in Shangshutai' '!
"Zhongcheng,"
At this time, a clerk hurried in, handed over a memorial, and said: "This is urgently sent from Yanzhou."
In addition to learning complicated matters, Fu Wan also had to deal with the endless stream of impeachment memorials.
He sat upright and took it without anger. He opened it and saw that it was the Yanzhou family's impeachment of Shanyang Prefect Wang Lang. Looking at the contents, he shook his head and said, "Put it down for now."
The clerk looked at him, hesitated, and reminded: "Zhongcheng, according to the rules, you need to respond within three days."
Fu Wan took the tea cup, hummed, and said: "After noon, you send a message to the three academies and the supervisory censors of each state to come to my room."
The clerk responded, and then said: "Do you want to inform King Bohai?"
Fu Wan was startled, and then he remembered that his good son-in-law was opposite his duty room.
He raised his head and looked outside, paused for a while and then said: "Please."
"Yes." said the clerk. He waited for a while, and seeing that Fu Wan had no other instructions, he slowly backed away.
The clerk came out of Fu Wan's duty room and saw Prime Minister Yang Biao coming out of Liu Xie's duty room. He quickly raised his hand in greeting.
Yang Biao glanced at him, his smile suddenly disappeared, and he slowly left with a big belly.
Two days later, at night, the Prime Minister's Mansion.
Just as Yang Biao fell asleep, he was surprised by an urgent knock on the door, and had to open the door with a big belly.
When Yang Biao saw someone standing next to the housekeeper, he couldn't help but look surprised. He quickly glanced at Sizhou, and then said with a solemn face: "Something happened?"
The man looked respectful, handed over a memorial, and said: "Yes. Prime Minister, this was received by the officials half an hour ago. There are two in total, and one went to the Yushitai."
Yang Biao hurriedly took it and looked through the moon. His fat face tensed up instantly and his small eyes were full of anger.
This is a memorial written by Mu Dingyuan of Yanzhou. The main content is to impeach Wang Lang, the prefect of Shanyang, for "accepting money, feasting to gain a good reputation, not doing business to gain a good reputation, being greedy for pleasure and indulging in wine and sex" and so on.
It is no small matter for a county pastor to impeach a governor!
According to the past practice of the imperial court, most of the time the prefect was transferred back to the capital to appease the state pastor.
"Wang Yun!"
Yang Biao was angrier than ever before, his face was as fat as iron, and his eyes even flashed with resentment.
He didn't know that Wang Yun and Na Ding Yuan were hooking up and communicating secretly.
But Yang Biao didn't expect that Wang Yun would collude with Ding Yuan to deal with him!
Wang Lang was the only person recommended by Yang Biao in front of Liu Bian. If Wang Lang fell, the direction of the government and the opposition would change instantly!
Yang Biao will definitely not be able to serve as prime minister for long!
"Prime Minister, what should I do?" The person at the door asked worriedly seeing Yang Biao's rare anger.
Yang Biao sneered and said, "Wang Yun underestimates me."
With that said, he handed over the memorial and said calmly: "Go back to the officials now and don't miss the details. Just do what you have to do."
The person at the door was still a little uneasy and said: "Prime Minister, Wang Yun must have other means waiting!"
Yang Biao put his hands behind his back, bulging his belly, and said calmly, "He's not the only one who has it."
Will resume two updates tomorrow~
Asking for a monthly ticket~~
