"I don't allow it."

Lin Mu dropped the letter in his hand on the case.

Seeing Lin Mu's refusal, one of the officials stood up.

This person's name is Zhong Ji, and he holds the position of servant.

The duty of a servant is to be a close official of the emperor, to check for leaks and fill gaps for the emperor.

Therefore, he has the right to make suggestions on the emperor's decisions. When the emperor is strong, only the servants can stand up and make suggestions.

"Your Majesty, the Yuan family is full of loyal people. Yuan Taifu died for his country. Yuan Shao raised an army to attack Dong Yixing to revitalize the Han Dynasty. Although the court is now stable, it is surrounded by wolves. Why shouldn't your Majesty Yuan Shao support him?"

Lin Mu sneered.

In this current situation, foreign aid is of no use. Yuan Shao has already had the desire to dominate, and in his heart the emperor is no longer useful.

Otherwise, in the original situation, Yuan Shao would not have abandoned Liu Xie in distress.

"Can Yuan Shao help?"

Seeing that there seemed to be something wrong with the expression on Lin Mu's face, Zhong Ji hesitated on his face.

Lin Mu ignored his hesitation and continued.

"Although Yuan Shao is a loyal minister, the position of state pastor is so important. How can the imperial court give it to anyone who wants it?"

"Today I gave it to Yuan Shao, but tomorrow Gongsun Zan kills Liu Yu. Should I give him a Youzhou Mu? How ridiculous! What do you think of the official position in the imperial court?"

Zhongji then stepped back and said no more.

Yang Biao, who was at the front of the hundred officials, glanced at Lin Mu.

After Dong Zhuo was killed, Yang Biao returned to the post of Taiwei.

Yang Biao was born in the Hongnong Yang family, and the Hongnong Yang family was no less generous than the Yuan family.

Yang Biao's great-grandfather was Yang Zhen, the incorruptible celebrity who did not receive any legacy money.

Yang Biao's grandfather Yang Bing and his father Yang Ci.

Counting from great-grandfather to Yang Biao, all the officials were in the rank of Taiwei for four generations, and the Yang family was famous for their loyalty and uprightness from generation to generation.

It can be said that he is the mainstay of the imperial court, but this mainstay is just a mascot.

He didn't care at all, otherwise these courtiers wouldn't have come to Wang Yun after Yuan Wei died.

This Yang Biao not only doesn't care about things, but he is also most famous for knowing how to keep his head down and living with a strong heart.

In the original history, Dong Zhuo wanted to move the capital, but Yang Biao opposed it. As a result, when Dong Zhuo started killing people, Yang Biao went to Dong Zhuo's door to apologize.

The second time was when Li Jue and Guo Si captured Chang'an and took the Manchu ministers hostage.

The ministers were so ashamed that Zhu Jun, the chief minister, was even angered to death.

But what about Yang Biao? Nothing happened, just eat and drink.

The third time, Cao Cao killed Yang Biao's son Yang Xiu.

After killing Yang Xiu, Cao Cao found an opportunity to ask Yang Biao, why have you lost weight recently?

After killing someone's son and asking him why he lost weight, he really had nothing to say. Logically speaking, Yang Biao should take off his shoes and throw them in Cao Cao's face.

As a result, Yang Biao replied that he was ashamed of Rixi's foresight and still cherished the love of an old cow licking a calf.

This means that he did not have the foresight like Jin Rixi to kill his own son because he was spoiled by his love.

As soon as these words came out, even Cao Cao, who originally wanted to kill Yang Biao, had no excuse.

In the end, Yang Biao lived to be eighty-four years old and saw Cao Pi proclaim himself emperor and the great Han Dynasty fall into decline.

When Yang Biao saw that Lin Mu had made up his mind, he immediately stood up.

"Your Majesty, Holy Might!"

When all the officials saw Yang Biao, they all stood up, and those officials who had been favored by the Yuan family had nothing to say.

Various memorials were handed in together, and the discussion was completed in a short time.

Nowadays, although the imperial court nominally owns the world, in fact it only controls Sili. There are even many areas in Sili that are occupied by other warlords.

So there wasn't much going on, but one of the forest trees noticed it.

After Lu Bu escaped from Luoyang, he immediately returned to the Bingzhou Army camp.

After mobilizing the Bingzhou army, he also gathered many remnants of Xiliang soldiers, but he did not return to Liangzhou.

Instead, they actually opened Hangu Pass, hoarded troops in Tongguan, and captured Chang'an.

Now he is defending according to the danger of Tongguan, and has brought Chang'an under his command.

This originally rebellious villain has now become an extremely powerful warlord.

But now the imperial court has no way to attack it. The imperial court now only has 35,000 soldiers. Let alone attack Chang'an, whether it can break through Tongguan is a question.

Lin Mu put the memorial down and sighed.

The world no longer develops in the direction that I am familiar with, and the memories of the past are no longer of much use.

Now Yuan Shao captured Jizhou a full year earlier, and Lu Bu's strength has grown extremely rapidly.

As for the other warlords, they don't know what the specific situation is at all. It seems that they need to establish a special intelligence system.

Lin Mu thought as he knocked on the table.

After leaving the court, Lin Mu was reading a book in the palace, while Bian Jin was waiting on the side, when he saw a personal guard walking towards him.

"Your Majesty, Doctor Jia would like to see you."

Lin Mu was struggling to read the words on the bamboo slips and said without even raising his head.

"See."

After a while, Jia Xu came to Lin Mu.

Now Jia Xu's official position is imperial doctor, which is the position Lin Mu specially selected for Jia Xu.

The imperial envoy has the power to supervise all officials, even the prime minister is very capable of supervising.

This is the most suitable official position for Jia Xu today, and it is also the official position that Jia Xu least wants.

This position is inherently disliked by officials. Who would like someone who monitors them?

After Jia Xu saw Lin Mu, he bowed.

"His Majesty."

Only then did Lin Mu figure out what the character he had been reading for a long time was. He put down the bamboo slip and looked at Jia Xu.

"Well, what's the matter?"

Jia Xu handed a brochure to Lin Mu.

Lin Mu opened it and found that it was the crimes of the aristocratic families that Jia Xu had recently investigated.

"Just handle it according to the law."

After Jia Xu took the book back, he said hesitantly.

"Your Majesty, are there too many involved?"

Lin Mu smiled.

"When they ate it, they didn't think they were implicated too much. Why do they worry about being implicated when it's time to take responsibility? As long as what's taken is handled in accordance with the law, you don't need to worry about the rest."

Seeing Lin Mu's insistence, Jia Xu could only take the book back and go down.

Soon the people in Luoyang City discovered why people in Luoyang City had started to kill people in the past few days.

And when chopping, it’s not just one or two, but batches.

But soon people understood why. Every time a person was beheaded, the person's crimes would be read out by the beheading officer.

After each crime was recited, one person died.

Only then did the people realize that these people were the culprits responsible for the skyrocketing food prices caused by food grabbing.

Then they began to cheer, and sometimes they even hailed the emperor as a saint.

In just three days, the people of Luoyang City saw hundreds of people beheaded.

The bloody smell of the execution place can be smelled even from a hundred meters away.

"Your Majesty, have you killed too many people?"

"Not many. Didn't you know that some of the officials killed by the emperor wrote suicide notes before going to court? How many is this?"
