Fu Wan invited Wang Yun to a side courtyard. After the two sat down opposite each other, they were polite as usual.
The false etiquette was over. Fu Wan wanted to send this plague god away as soon as possible. He looked at Wang Yun and said, "Why does the prince come to my humble residence late at night?"
Wang Yun took a sip of tea and suddenly forgot about the wording he had originally thought of. He said straight to the point: "I would like to ask the Prime Minister to recommend His Highness to be the crown prince."
Fu Wan was stunned for a moment and said subconsciously: "Your Majesty wants to establish a crown prince?"
The princes of the Han Dynasty were appointed early and later, but generally speaking, if they were established early, there was a high probability that they would not end well.
Wang Yun remained indifferent and said, "What I'm saying is that you need to take the lead in this matter."
Fu Wan still didn't understand, so he said, "Is that what Your Majesty meant?"
"That's what I meant." Wang Yun said calmly.
Fu Wan was shocked in his heart, but tried his best to keep calm on his face and said: "Your Majesty, this matter is important. We must find out His Majesty's intentions before making a decision."
Wang Yundao: "Your Highness's name is Shao. Isn't that clear enough? If the government and the public continue to pretend to be confused, Your Majesty will be angry."
Fu Wan still felt that it was inappropriate to presume on the holy will. He hesitated and said: "Why should I take the lead? Once this kind of thing is done, not only will your majesty be kind to you, but also the prince will ascend the throne in the future, and he will also have the merit of following the dragon. Why? Do you want to be humble to me?"
This Fu Wan is not that stupid!
Wang Yun sneered in his heart and said expressionlessly: "I'm not doing any meritorious service for you. To be precise, you and King Bohai need to take the lead in this matter."
Seeing Wang Yun dragging Liu Xie in, Fu Wan became even more vigilant and said with a stern face: "Your Majesty should know that King Bohai should not be involved in government affairs. This is a tacit understanding between the government and the public. If the prince wants to break it, there will be thunder." Wrath!"
Wang Yun showed no fear, and his voice became calmer, saying: "I am doing this for state affairs! If you are recommended by the King of Bohai, you will be able to inflict heavy blows on the rebellious Yuan Shu and disrupt his military morale. In addition, the King of Bohai can also further eliminate the suspicion of 'unruly'. This is a good thing for you.”
Fu Wan stared at Wang Yun with trembling eyes, anxiously calculating in his heart.
He didn't believe Wang Yun's words!
He was thinking about Wang Yun's possible trap!
There are many people in the government and the opposition who want Liu Xie to 'disappear' silently. Especially this Wang Yun, after Yuan Shu faked out the so-called "Yi Zhao" rebellion, he always advocated killing Liu Xie in order to stabilize the people of the world.
Wang Yun saw that it was impossible for Fu Wan to agree, so he snorted coldly and said: "You have to agree to this matter, and you have to agree even if you don't agree! If you do well, your Majesty will naturally ignore the past grudges and treat brothers and sisters with respect. But once the agreement is made, Your Majesty, the Crown Prince, can your Majesty tolerate the King of Bohai? Don't you think that if he has an emergency, your Highness will be the rebellious opponent of Liu Xie, Yuan Shu and others?"
Fu Wan's expression suddenly changed and he said in a deep voice: "The King of Bohai has nothing to do with Yuan Shu and others. Wang Yun, don't talk nonsense!"
Wang Yun said directly: "Go and tell His Majesty and the Queen Mother these words."
Fu Wan looked ugly and felt extremely panicked.
He knew that there was a threat in Wang Yun's words, and he was trying to scare him. But this kind of threat is too deadly. Even if you know it clearly, you still dare not take it lightly.
Liu Xie couldn't stand out. The slightest incident would attract the attention of the government and the public, not to mention that it was such a big deal as establishing a crown prince!
If one of them fails, the crown prince will not be established, and Liu Xie and he will lose their lives first!
Seeing that he still refused to nod, Wang Yun said indifferently: "The Queen Mother agrees to establish Her Highness."
Fu Wan immediately remembered Wang Yun's rare visit to Yongle Palace!
"Seriously?" Fu Wan asked impatiently.
If Queen Mother He nods, then the matter is most likely stable. He and Liu Xie wrote a letter, not only was it okay, but he could indeed gain a share of credit.
With the crown prince, Liu Xie's predicament will be further alleviated, and he no longer has to worry about his daughter becoming a widow and the Fu family being affected.
Wang Yun looked indifferent and said: "If you don't believe it, you can go to the palace tomorrow to verify it with Taihe, and then submit a letter."
Fu Wan breathed a sigh of relief in his heart. Since Wang Yun said so, the matter must not be false.
However, he still hesitated. If Liu Xie took the lead, there would always be danger.
"I will discuss with King Bohai tomorrow and decide." After a while, Fu Wan looked at Wang Yundao.
Wang Yun's eyes flashed with a stern look, and he said coldly: "Don't you still understand what I mean? You must do this matter whether you do it or not!"
Fu Wan was also aroused and angry, and said with a straight face: "Prince, do you really think that King Bohai and I are easy to bully?"
Wang Yun suddenly stood up, looked down at him and said, "I think you are stupid!"
After saying that, he walked away.
"you……"
Fu Wan's face was livid with anger and he was speechless. He could only watch Wang Yun go away.
After a while, he couldn't get angry anymore, and he had to calmly think about what Wang Yun just said.
'Establishing a prince' is not a small matter, it involves consequences, everyone has to be careful, one step will lead to disaster!
After a while, Fu Wan had no idea, and he didn't dare to discuss it with anyone, so he felt even more angry.
He was so angry that he couldn't sleep. He was tossing and turning, but Yang Biao in the Prime Minister's Mansion slept like a baby.
As Wang Yun and the Yingchuan Party started fighting, Yang Biao stood aside and watched, somewhat trying to play both sides.
"Master, Master, the palace has given you food and wine." A servant came to the door and knocked gently.
Yang Biao's sleep was very light, and he was awakened by the slightest movement. When he carefully read the content, he was startled, dressed and ran out. Seeing that it was Xu Yan, an acquaintance, he became less nervous and said: "Xu Guiren, what is this?" "
Xu Yan smiled slightly and said: "Your Majesty received the report from General Cao and praised the young master very much. Your Majesty is very happy and thanks the Prime Minister for teaching his son well, he specially rewarded the Prime Minister with meals."
Yang Biao quickly raised his hand to the palace and said, "I am so virtuous and capable."
After doing this, Yang Biao looked at Xu Yan again and said, "Mr. Xu, does your Majesty have any other rewards?"
Xu Yan was startled for a moment, then quickly reacted and said with a smile: "Not yet, but in the future, if Young Master Jian is in the emperor's heart, his future will be bright."
Yang Biao's fat face trembled, as if he was extremely happy. He called a butler and said: "Send off to the noble man, please don't wait any longer."
The housekeeper understood immediately, and his voice was neither loud nor quiet, just enough for Xu Yan to hear: "Go to the warehouse to get some good things, hurry up."
Xu Yan waved his hands repeatedly and said: "I can't do it, I can't do it, how dare a villain accept a gift from the Prime Minister..."
The housekeeper couldn't help but stepped forward to say something to Xu Yan, and the two of them left the house half-heartedly.
Yang Biao's smile disappeared in an instant, and he came to the atrium expressionlessly and looked at the food that was laid out.
There is nothing wrong with the food, they are all exquisite creations by the royal chefs in the palace.
Yang Biao's face became darker and darker. After sitting down, he stared at the dishes with cold eyes.
It was weird to give food in the middle of the night. Even with his son Yang Xiu as an excuse, Yang Xiu was not rewarded, but instead he was given food?
"What do you mean, Your Majesty?"
Yang Biao muttered to himself with a heavy heart.
He always felt that there was something fishy about what happened at Jiade Hall last time. The demotion of Er Xun and Cai Yong to the third level seemed reasonable and reasonable, but there was something unexplainable inside.
The most important thing is that these three people are more recognized as having a bright future, especially Cai Yong, who is the eldest prince's grandfather and the current father-in-law, and should be favored the most!
Yang Biao thought about it in his mind, but still didn't understand the purpose of these dishes, and felt vaguely uneasy.
At this time, a servant came over quietly and whispered behind him: "Master, Hucao is plotting to merge Taicang into Hucao and take over the warehouses of prefectures, counties and counties across the country."
Yang Biao was stunned for a while, then turned to look at the servant and said, "Is the news true?"
The servant said: "It should be right. From Hucao to Taicang, there are many people who know about it."
Yang Biao couldn't help but look outside the dark door and muttered to himself: "They are going to stir up a hornet's nest."
In fact, there is no problem in merging Taicang Hucao. The key is that Hucao takes over the local money and grain warehouse. It would be strange if the local government does not explode.
At the same time, Chongde Hall.
Liu Bian's soft couch was 'occupied' by two little guys, Liu Shao and He Yan.
The two of them fell asleep at some point, lying together and whining from time to time.
After Liu Bian finished handling the government affairs in his hands, he stretched, glanced at the two little guys, stood up with a smile, and walked out of the side door.
Before walking a few steps, Liu Bian yawned, looked up at the dark sky without a trace of moonlight, and said, "I heard it's going to snow?"
Pan Yin followed behind him, looked up and said nothing.
Liu Bian was a little sleepy and his whole body ached. He swung his arms as he walked and cleared his mind, hoping to empty his mind and change it.
Pan Yin followed for a while, stepped forward and whispered: "Your Majesty, the prince went to Sima Jun's mansion again."
Liu Bian paused, crossed his hands, kept shaking his arms, looked outside the palace, and said with a curious smile: "Our prince is playing a big game of chess. Did you find anything?"
Pan Yin shook his head and said: "It's all a secret conversation. No outsider knows about it, so the villain didn't find out."
Liu Bian smiled even more and said: "This is interesting. Okay, let's see what chess the prince is playing. Has Zhao Yun returned to the Forbidden Army camp?"
Pan Yin said quickly: "Based on the distance, we should arrive at noon tomorrow."
Liu Bian hummed and said: "He has arrived in Beijing, let him come to see me. You go to Da Sima's Mansion tomorrow and ask them to order Liu Yu to return to the station and closely monitor the situation of Wuhuan, Xianbei and others, and not to be careless. Send a letter to Bingzhou again, asking them to keep an eye on the Huns."
"Yes." Pan Yin said.
Liu Bian moved for a while, then turned around and walked back, saying: "Go to Yongning Palace and let the palace maid take good care of those two little guys."
Pan Yin said quickly: "I understand, villain."
Liu Bian walked towards Yongning Palace and said in his heart: You understand, but you just don’t know that Yang Biaoming doesn’t understand.
Early the next morning.
Xun Yu then came to the back hall of Chongde Hall.
Liu Bian was still a little sleepy and said unexpectedly: "Xunqing's family, what happened so early?"
Xun Yu looked mature and raised his hand as usual and said: "Your Majesty, after many days of discussion, Hucao and Taicang believe that they should be merged into one to unify the government orders and smoothen the joints."
Liu Bian sat on the chair, thought for a while, and said, "That's it?"
Merging Hucao and Taicang is not an urgent matter, it is a major matter.
Xun Yu's expression did not change and he said: "Yes, I plan to send people together with Hucao and Yushitai to station in the warehouses of various prefectures and counties to eliminate corruption and ensure that all royal taxes go to Taicang."
Liu Bian woke up a little, frowned subconsciously, and pondered.
If you do this, the local government will definitely not agree to it, and it will inevitably give rise to countless troubles. The easiest way is to do it before it is put into storage.
Not only will this make the arrangement of the imperial court come to nothing, but it will also give them an excuse to "compete with the people for profit."
"The Qing family has thought about it?" Liu Bian looked at Xun Yu. In his view, this policy is harmful rather than beneficial and is not a sound policy.
Naturally, Xun Yu did not dare to tell Liu Bian what Xi Zhi had found out from Yanzhou, so he said without hesitation: "Yes, I plan to discuss it carefully with the Yushitai and come up with a proper strategy and submit it to His Majesty."
Liu Bian looked at Xun Yu and always felt a little weird.
Xun Yu was always prudent and would not propose such a seemingly comprehensive policy.
At this time, Pan Yin came in from outside, glanced at Xun Yu, stepped forward and whispered: "Your Majesty, the prince went to Changle Palace again."
Liu Bian was startled, looked at him and said, "So early?"
Pan Yin nodded, feeling very surprised.
Before Liu Bian could think more, he looked at Xun Yu in front of him and said, "Is the Qing family because of the Wang Qing family? Do you know what the Wang Qing family is planning?"
Xun Yu raised his hand and said: "The prince has not hindered Hucao's government affairs. Your Majesty is relieved. I don't know what the prince wants to do."
Liu Bian looked at Xun Yu and thought about Wang Yun, and couldn't help but smile.
It seems that Wang Yun and the so-called 'Yingchuan Party' have some plans, but he doesn't know about it at all.
'Interesting. '
Liu Bian thought for a while, nodded and said: "Okay, let's follow the Qing family. I will say hello to the Yushitai, and the Qing family can discuss it with the Yushitai."
"I accept the decree."
Xun Yu said.
Immediately, he thought for a moment and said: "Your Majesty, there is a large shortage of officials in the imperial court and various states and counties. Should we bypass the joint examination, or should we recommend them to become officials?"
Liu Bian shook his head and said: "You must pass the joint examination, and there is no room for negotiation on this matter. In addition, the admission ratio between Hongdu School and Taixue is 20-80, which is indispensable."
There was a trace of hesitation on Xun Yu's face, but he finally raised his hand and said, "I accept the order."
Liu Bian nodded and said, "Instruct the Shang Shutai to send letters to all the aristocratic families, asking them to send outstanding children to school without delay."
"Yes." Pan Yin said from the side.
Xun Yu was always a man of few words. When he finished speaking, he said, "I'll leave."
Liu Bian had many things he wanted to discuss with him, but something was obviously wrong today, so he held back for the time being and said, "Pan Yin, send it to Xunqing's house."
Pan Yin greeted him and extended his hand to indicate to Xun Yu.
Xun Yu raised his hand again, stood up and exited the back hall.
Liu Bian watched him leave, his eyes slowly narrowed, and his smile gradually grew stronger.
"It's so interesting."
Liu Bian touched his chin and couldn't help but murmur to himself: "Now, have everyone learned to use their minds and play tricks?"
"Okay, let me see what you are planning."
