"Your Majesty is here!"

With a sharp and piercing voice like a male duck, Liu Xie, dressed in a dragon robe, walked to the dragon chair with a majestic face, turned around and sat down slowly.

The hundreds of officials in the main hall bowed neatly and uniformly according to the instructions of the ceremonial officer.

"Meet Your Majesty, My Emperor Sheng'an!"

"All the ministers are flat!"

Liu Xie stretched out his hand and raised it falsely, and then said loudly: "In the past, Dong Zhuo's thieves made a rebellion and brought disaster to the dynasty, and then there were thieves such as Li Dao and Guo Yan who committed crimes, so that the people's livelihood withered and the people suffered. However, through the efforts of all Aiqing, now, these thieves are either punished or hidden, and they can no longer set off a storm. Although I am trapped in a thief's cave, I have never been afraid to retreat, because I am blessed by heaven, and I am blessed by my ancestors and ancestors. Now, once again reigning in the world, I want to restore my Han Dynasty. ”

"The incompetence of the ministers has made His Majesty suffer!"

Liu Xie even said what he had suffered, and he was not afraid of losing face, so the ministers could only reluctantly ask for guilt again. In a word: It is not the emperor who is wrong, it is the incompetence of the courtiers that allows the emperor to suffer such crimes.

"Ladies and gentlemen, the past is over, look forward!"

Liu Xie slowly floated out a sentence, which almost made the ministers go berserk. mD is the one who remembers the past, and now it is you who forget the past and look forward. However, Liu Xie is the emperor, how to say it. Of course, people like Cao Cao and Yuan Chang naturally ignored it, and Liu Xie's crime was their.

"Okay, Captain Yang, let's talk about the current situation in the imperial court. ”

Originally, this kind of thing should have been said by the prime minister, but since Emperor Ai of the Han Dynasty, the post of prime minister has never been established, and Dong Zhuo led the prime minister when he was in charge of the government. Xiangguo and Prime Minister look the same, but in fact they are very different. And, these are also two different positions.

To put it simply, the prime minister is equivalent to a secretary, while the prime minister is equivalent to a deputy.

If the emperor has an accident and does not appoint an heir, then the prime minister can choose the heir, but the prime minister does not have this right. Of course, all this is under normal circumstances, if it is not an abnormal situation, just like Cao Cao in history, he was named prime minister, and he does not have any rights. Therefore, official positions are actually virtual, and the real thing still depends on the power in hand. As long as the power is enough, it can command the crowd, and at most it is not good in name.

Among the three dukes, Situ Zhao Wen and Sikong Zhang Xi also have some reputation, but compared with Taiwei Yang Biao, they are far behind. Therefore, the task of debriefing can only be carried out by Yang Biao.

In ancient times, the debriefing was extremely cumbersome, first quoting the classics to tell some stories, and then starting from the Han Gaozu Liu Bang to establish the Han Dynasty, generation after generation of a sentence, pulling a scoop to the west, and finally saying that Liu Xie experienced all kinds of hardships, and finally got out of the hands of thieves, and then naturally wanted to make great efforts to restore the majesty of the Han dynasty again.

Waiting for Yang Biao's voice to fall, Liu Xiecai continued: "Now that the imperial court has experienced trauma, I hope that you will work together with me, and I also hope that the heroic spirit of Aiqing who is present can be placed in the Taimiao." ”

"Ministers live up to their grace!"

Taimiao is the place where the emperor is worshiped in all dynasties, and originally only the people of the royal family can put the spiritual seat in it for all the people in the world to worship. Later, in order to reward ministers who have made great contributions, the clan or the queen are also eligible to enter, and this is one of the reasons for the fierce competition for the queen's position. Moreover, the Taimiao is also quite special, and if the dynasty is changed, the new ruler will not demolish the Taimiao of the previous dynasty. Therefore, to enjoy the honor of the Taimiao, it can be said that it has existed for generations, and there is no need to worry about the problems of the imperial court. Of course, the Taimiao is not an ordinary merit that can be entered, and now, only a few people such as Zhang Liang and Han Xin, who founded the country, can have this honor. And Huo Guang originally had this honor, but after Huo Guang, his family was the same as the rebellion, which caused Huo Guang to be implicated and lose this honor. As for Han Xin, his rebellion was purely slandered, and the royal family may have felt ashamed of him, so he did not deprive him of the honor of enjoying the Taimiao.

Of course, with so many ministers present, I am afraid that there are not many who are qualified to enjoy the Taimiao. However, there is still an ideal, and if you accidentally realize it.

Subsequently, Situ Zhao Wen stepped forward and said: "Your Majesty, because of the rebellion of Li Dao, Guo Yan and other thieves, Taichang, Wei Wei, Guangluxun, and Da Honglu among the Jiuqing were unfortunately killed, and now there are vacancies in the four positions, please fill them!"

Liu Xie asked Yang Biao and the three of them to nominate him, after all, Liu Xie had not been in power for a long time, and he was not very clear about the situation of the ministers of the DPRK and China. And Yang Biao and the others have naturally submitted the list that they think can be submitted to Liu Xie, and now they are appointed by Liu Xie, which is to give Liu Xie a chance to buy people's hearts.

"Quasi-play!"

Liu Xieying snorted, and then said sadly: "Several Aiqing died because of the thief, and it hurts me to lose this pillar. Therefore, I decided that all the officials who were killed in this disaster should be buried by the imperial court, and that their families should also be treated well, so that these courtiers who had dedicated their lives to the court should not be chilled. ”

"Your Majesty is benevolent!"

After a while, Liu Xiecai signaled to stop patting his sycophants, and then said: "After I discussed with several Aiqing, Taichang was taken over by the former Taichang subordinate official Taichang Yu Wuchang; Weiwei was taken over by Shi Gengshi, the head of the Taiwei Mansion; Guangluxun was replaced by Li Ping, the former Guangluxun subordinate official Hu Benzhonglang; and Dahonglu was taken over by the former Da Honglu subordinate official Daxing Lingdan. ”

"Command!"

The four people who took over were all out of Shane, and three of them were subordinate officers of the original unit, because their boss was killed, they were favored by the god of luck and successfully ascended to the position. Therefore, they naturally secretly swore in their hearts that they must be cautious and not let the things of their ex happen to them, so as not to cheapen others. Only Wei Wei was parachuted in from the Taiwei Mansion, after all, Wei Wei was in charge of the palace guards to ensure Liu Xie's safety. Most of the previous guards were Dong Zhuo's subordinates, and no one dared to guarantee how many of the remaining people were loyal. Therefore, Yang Biao recommended the long history of his Taiwei Mansion to take over this position. Liu Xie is still very relieved about Yang Biao's loyalty, so he naturally will not refuse. Of course, at this stage, he does not have his own cultivated henchmen, and he can only use Yang Biao's people for the time being, in the future, he has his own henchmen, maybe he will choose to change someone, or he can develop the Taiwei Mansion Changshi into his own person.

Liu Xie glanced around and continued: "This time, there are many vacancies, if you have any suitable candidates, you can put them forward, as long as you are a talented person who is loyal to the imperial court, I will not treat him badly." ”

"Wait for the order!"

The people who can survive under the situation that Dong Zhuo, Li Dao, and Guo Yan control the imperial court are all old oilmen in the officialdom, not stunned young people. If you are stunned or straight-tempered, you have already forged their stories with your lives. Therefore, they all understood what Liu Xie meant, first of all, loyal people, the object of loyalty is naturally Liu Xie, and secondly, talented people. Therefore, as long as the loyal person is a little worse, Liu Xie can not care.

The affairs of the imperial court have been discussed for nearly two hours, and it is also because of the difficult situation in the imperial court that it has been said for so long. After the affairs of the imperial court are finished, the next thing is the moment of the distribution of gift packages that made people happy and expected in the past.

Liu Xie's expression was shocked, and he said excitedly: "This time, when I returned to Luoyang, I experienced many dangers and obstacles, and thanks to all of you Aiqing's hard work, I was able to arrive in Luoyang safely." During this period, there were several ministers who made outstanding contributions, and I believe that all of you Aiqing have seen it. I have said that as long as I am loyal to me and the court, I will not be stingy with rewards. ”

Subsequently, a eunuch stepped forward with a holy decree in his hand and read: "Yang Feng, the general of Xingyi, is diligent in royal affairs, loyal to guard, kills the enemy in front of the emperor, and has great achievements. ”

"Minister, Commander!"

Yang Feng showed a happy expression on his face, but he was calm in his heart. If Liu Xie had given him such a position before deciding to serve Yuan Chang, he would have been so happy that he didn't even know what his surname was. However, now he has understood that any official position in the current court is false, and it is of no use at all except for fame. If you don't believe it, Yang Feng will go to various states to give orders in the name of the general of the chariot and cavalry, and he will be beaten in minutes.

The eunuch handed the holy decree to Yang Feng, took another holy decree, and continued to read: "Uncle Dong Cheng, diligent in royal affairs... It is planned to be promoted to General Wei, and Kaifu Yi will be the same as the three divisions!"

"Minister, Commander!"

"Yanzhou Mu Cao Cao, diligent in royal affairs, loyal to the country, plans to be promoted to a former general, fake Jieyue, Kaifu Yi and the three divisions. Continue to serve as the pastor of Yanzhou and guard one side for me. ”

"Youzhou Mu Yuan Chang, diligent in royal affairs, loyal to the country, to be promoted to the rear general, fake Jieyue, Kaifu Yi with the three divisions. Continue to serve as the pastor of Youzhou, and guard the side for my pastor. ”

"Minister, Commander!"

"Minister, Commander!"

It would obviously be impossible for Yuan Chang and Cao Cao to give up their current position as state ministers and go to Luoyang to take up the positions of former and rear generals. If Liu Xie dared to force it, it was estimated that Cao Cao and Yuan Chang would abandon Liu Xie and return to their own territory in a few minutes. It is precisely because of this that Liu Xie gave Yuan Chang and Cao Cao two positions, and did not mean to let them abandon their existing positions. In this way, Yuan Chang and Cao Cao will not be forced to refuse to accept the order, so that he will not be able to get off the stage, so that everyone's face is passable.

"The rest of the soldiers were all promoted one level above their original ranks, and each had a reward. ”

Not only Yuan Chang, Cao Cao, Yang Feng and Dong Cheng were rewarded, but the rest of the generals and soldiers-level officials all had different rewards, in short, the rain and dew were evenly wet. Liu Xie knows his current situation, so it is a necessary means to win people's hearts. However, now that the imperial treasury is empty, I am afraid that I will not be able to give much money to reward, so I can only make up for it when I have money in the future. Liu Xie's abacus is also shrewd, those soldiers want to get these rewards, then they must ensure that he continues to stay in this position, otherwise, if his position is not guaranteed, then there is naturally no hope for everything.

Liu Xie saw that the officials present were all satisfied, and his heart was also happy, thinking that the Han family was prosperous again under his governance, his body couldn't help but tremble. calmed down his excitement, spoke again, and said, "Do you have anything to do?"

"Your Majesty, the ministers have a performance!"

At this moment, a person stepped forward, but it was Guo Quan, the chief farmer. Speaking of this, many people may not know who Guo Quan is, but his grandson Guo Huai is a celebrity in the later period of Cao Wei, Guo Huai. Da Si Nong is in charge of the country's finances, and Guo Quan stands up at this moment, obviously the thing he wants to mention is related to money.

Sure enough, I only heard Guo Quan say slowly: "Your Majesty, because of Dong Zhuo's thieves and thieves, the treasury was empty, and there was not much money and food in the treasury. Money can still be put on hold, slowly figure it out. However, the matter of food cannot be postponed, and now there are hundreds of thousands of people in Luoyang City, if there is not enough food, I am afraid that it will change sooner or later, and please ask Your Majesty to plan it as soon as possible. ”

The rewards given to a group of officials and soldiers can be made up in the future, so Liu Xie doesn't care too much about whether he has money or not. However, the matter of food has to be rushed. If there is no food, who will sell your life to those soldiers, and the reason why the soldiers choose this path is not to be able to fill their stomachs.

"Your Majesty, this matter is indeed urgent, and it should be resolved as soon as possible. ”

Taiwei Yang Biao also stood up and said with a solemn face: "If there is not enough food, I am afraid that the yellow turban incident in the past will recur." However, in recent years, natural and man-made disasters have occurred in the Guanzhong area, and the grain harvest has not been much, so the only way to do this may be solved by urging the states to pay their taxes and grain as soon as possible. ”

In ancient times, taxes were not only collected for money, but also for grain.

"This matter is according to the Captain's words!"

Liu Xie did not object to Yang Biao's proposal, otherwise, where would he go to make food. As for whether the states will turn over the grain, it depends on the will of God.

"Your Majesty, the ministers have a play!"

At this time, Cao Cao also jumped out and said lively: "There were many disasters in the Guanzhong area before, and the ministers were also prepared. ”

The reason why Cao Cao offered food was not to offer love, but naturally he had his purpose.

In recent years, natural disasters have often occurred in the Guanzhong area, not to mention man-made disasters for the time being, the Yellow River bursts, drought, famine, etc., can be described as eventful. It's just that because of the war, these natural disasters have been covered up. And Yanzhou, after Cao Cao's governance, can be regarded as a rich people, with a lot of food. Even if the states pay taxes and grain, they can only solve temporary worries, but they cannot solve the fundamental problems. After all, this part of Guanzhong was shrouded in disasters, and there was no way to cultivate food. Of course, unless the states really submit to the imperial court and send a steady stream of grain, how long can this grain last? Therefore, Cao Cao now told Liu Xie that he had enough food in Yanzhou, which also paved the way for his next proposal to move the capital to Xuchang.

"Cao Aiqing has a heart, she is worthy of being a loyal minister of the country, and I am very relieved!"

When Liu Xie's voice fell, Cao Cao spoke again: "Your Majesty, these grains can only solve temporary problems, and now the Guanzhong area has been plagued by natural disasters for many years, droughts, floods, etc., so that it is impossible to cultivate grain. Therefore, the minister thought that with today's plan, perhaps moving the capital could completely solve this matter. ”

As soon as Cao Cao said this, the hall fell silent for a while.
