At the fourth watch on the twenty-ninth day of October, Liu Yu, the chief lieutenant, hurriedly went out after saying hard work to his concubine.

Before the sky was dark, or the fourth watch in winter was the darkest time of the year, Liu Yu sat in the carriage, opened the heavy linen curtain and looked around, only to feel that the road was dark, there were no pedestrians, it looked extremely deserted, and then put down the curtain again.

Speaking of which, this kind of coldness is also related to Gongsun Xun.

After all, although this General Wei is far away in Yexia and does not come to Chang'an often, his ideology and behavior still affect all parts of the north...... For example, General Wei couldn't help but have fine food, clothing, housing and transportation, but he was extremely disgusted with the waste of manpower and material resources.

In this regard, Cai Bojiao's summary in Yexia University is even more incisive, that is, Gongsun Xun can't help but be luxurious, but he is extremely disgusted with extravagance.

These two words are used very accurately.

The so-called luxury, in fact, refers to the meaning of non-agricultural family pomp, the reason may be because Gongsun Auntie was originally a businessman, so Ye Xia is more tolerant of non-agricultural families such as industrial and commercial officials and soldiers, and even faintly encouraged, and with the development of non-agricultural industries, these industries will inevitably bring a large number of high-end daily necessities, which further fueled the atmosphere in this regard, so it became Chinese.

In other words, General Wei's mother and son are extremely disgusted with the waste of manpower, and the official has always emphasized to all the state pastors that one of the main responsibilities of the magistrate is to combat the waste of manpower, you have money to support people, but the people you raise are to work and produce, to have a real job, to be placed in the workshop and farmland, not simply standing there to give you a long face.

Of course, this is right, not to mention Liu Yu, Yang Biao and Wang Yun have always agreed.

So in this kind of atmosphere, in previous years, a large family traveled, followed by thousands of slaves and maids, and more than half of the result was the scene of serving people, I am afraid that General Zhongwei will not appear in his life.

And the eunuch who received the scholar's affairs in a dignified manner, there were only about 30 people, three or four cars, and 20 of them were horseback guards specially sent by the imperial court, which was also ordinary.

However, the captain was a captain after all, and this sense of coldness soon disappeared - first, a group of patrol soldiers and guards on the street noticed Liu Yu's honor guard, and hurried to escort them, and the team jumped to the size of forty or fifty people, and the lights were obviously more; Then when they arrived on the North Street of Weiyang Palace, they successively met Sikong Yang Biao, Situ Zhaoqian, Guanglu Doctor Huang Wan, Counselor Chong Shao and others in a similar state, and several important ministers of the court gathered together, and the team inevitably became larger.

The Taiwei was in front, Sikong and Situ were behind, and the two loose officials and doctors who were treated as quasi-third princes were behind, and the team was huge and had a scale of four or five hundred people.

But all this came to an abrupt end in front of the main gate of Weiyang Palace.

The Tiger Benjun opened the palace gate to greet them, not to mention the patrol soldiers encountered on the road, even the attendants and subordinates who accompanied them also stopped, and only a few important ministers themselves entered the palace under the response of the Tiger Ben Army, and went to Shangshutai.

"Nothing should happen today, right?" As soon as he stepped into the palace gate, Situ Zhao Qian couldn't help frowning. "It's too dark......

"It's supposed to be snowing, so it's overcast, and if it's not in the way, the sun will eventually shine when it comes out." Sikong Yang Biao responded casually. "But how is Brother Ling's injury, I heard that because Situ mocked General Hou, he was arrested by General Hou and beaten with thirty whips?"

"It's not a big deal." Zhao Qian frowned more and more. "Our family is recognized as a barbarian in Shudi, and he has never been afraid of being whipped, but he is the domineering ...... of the general."

Zhao Qian shrank back in the middle of his words, which immediately aroused the curiosity of the counselor behind him: "How is the general's domineering?" Did Situ also feel that something was too much? ”

"On the contrary, I always feel that the general's arrogance is a bit vain." Zhao Qian said while walking. "We had a guess before, saying that General Hou's move was actually intended by General Wei to borrow his hands to clean up Chang'an...... Mo said that he didn't have the courage to deal with me directly, even if my brother didn't dare to really be ruthless, he just looked for some unclear and unclear people to take revenge on personal grievances, where is this like really getting General Wei's authorization? And if you think that Emperor Huan and Emperor Ling were the lieutenants of the Si Li, one is counted as one, and which one can not wipe out the minister's family at every turn? I thought that our Chengdu Zhao clan was going to die in this Chang'an City! As a result, I was sent back with only thirty lashes from my brother. ”

Chong Shao was thoughtful for a while, and the rest of the people were silent for a while. However, this silence was quickly broken by a cough from Liu Yu.

"Bo'an, pay a little attention to your body." When Liu Bo'an finished coughing, Guanglu doctor Huang Wan couldn't help sighing. "You are younger than me, this is also the reason why Emperor Ling designated you as the minister of the auxiliary sect back then, why is your health inferior to me all these years?"

"Let Dr. Guanglu smile." Liu Yu hurriedly straightened up.

"Huang Gong's words are a little unfair." Yang Biao, who was beside him, interjected at this time and said a fair word. "If it weren't for this auxiliary government, how would I see the old man?"

Everyone smiled bitterly.

In other words, on the road in the palace, the atmosphere between several important ministers of the Han family is so harmonious, first, because Gongsun Xun has been oppressed by Ye all the year round, forcing them to join the group for many years to keep warm; Second, they have experienced too many things, not to mention most of the extreme political tides since Huan Ling, and even the Dong Zhuo Rebellion, so this so-called 'big change' is actually not a matter in their eyes.

In this way, when several important ministers stepped into Shangshutai, the sky finally became slightly clear, and at the same time, the first snowflakes of the first snow in the fifth year of Jian'an also landed as promised.

"General Wei sneaked up on Nanzheng and retreated in a hurry, and encountered a group of elk on the way to attack the army formation, and lost his trace for a while?" In the Shangshu platform, after Liu Yu listened to the report of Yang Mi, the Shangshu on duty, he couldn't help but feel ridiculous, so he looked around. "Ladies and gentlemen, have you ever heard anything like this since ancient times?"

"It's so bizarre!" As Yang Mi's brother, Sikong Yang Biao also scoffed. "It may be possible to sneak attack Nanzheng, after all, General Wei only brought 10,000 soldiers there, and Nanzheng is a famous city, but elk ...... What do you think? ”

"How?" Liu Yu had a conclusion before he came, and he had no doubts at this time. "I thought that nine out of ten of these were fake military information deliberately concocted by General Wei, specifically to tempt the hearts of the people in Chang'an City...... If you think about it, people's hearts have always been determined that if there is no second wave after three or four months, then it will gradually calm down. But on the other hand, if something happened last time and it happened again not long ago, some people would be moved by it, because they had just done it before. ”

"It's just that if General Wei did it, why did he do it?" Huang Wan asked seriously.

"It's not because the times are different." Liu Yan couldn't help but sigh. "Guys, think about it...... The Han family, the Son of Heaven, and the Minister, what is it to General Wei now? ”

In Shangshutai, in Liu Yu's exclusive public house, several important ministers changed color together.

And Liu Yu also said bluntly: "In fact, when the Dong was being discussed, the Kwantung region, headed by Yuan Shao, had to re-abolish the establishment, or abandon the words of the Guanxi court, which was also Yuan Shao's biggest sin...... At that time, in fact, many princes regarded the imperial court as a burden, or as Dong Zhuo's private weapon. On the other hand, before General Wei courted Dong and broke Yuan, as a son of a border county family, he was actually not favored by the world's corporals, so the Han court at that time was a necessary thing for him, because without the Son of Heaven and the minister, he could not overpower the Yuan family of the fourth and third princes in prestige and popularity, let alone use the name of the court to collect talents and people's hearts! ”

Everyone bowed their heads.

"After he curries Dong and breaks Yuan, although the Chang'an Imperial Court is still a necessary thing for him, it is not a lethal weapon." Liu Yu continued to explain seriously. At that time, he mainly needed to implement his new policy in the name of the imperial court, to bind Liangzhou in the name of the imperial court, and to maintain peace with the southern princes in the name of the imperial court...... This is also the reason why we got along with Ye Xia in the past few years. But now? ”

Liu Yu's words came to an abrupt end, but most of the people here are the top political veterans in the world, how can they not understand?

To put it bluntly, as Gongsun Xun's power stabilized step by step, the role of the small court in Chang'an was declining step by step, and it couldn't be hard without this court at the beginning; Then it is naturally good to have the court in hand, but the key is not to let the court get out of control and be used by others; Later, it was simply a combination of interests, with a good one, but it didn't matter if it was gone; But the terrible thing about the problem is that as the Son of Heaven came of age, the incidents continued, and Gongsun Xun himself became more and more powerful in the north and even in the world, and his rule became more and more stable, and this relationship was likely to develop further...... It has become a serious obstacle on the way to General Wei's power by becoming the so-called small court of Chang'an!

So what will General Wei do at this time?

A little better, it may be that the idea is weakened and controlled!

Almost, I will simply think about cleaning and overhead!

The most fatal thing is that everyone present resists from the bottom of their hearts, which is naturally dismemberment, abolition, and even annihilation!

This topic is a bit heavy, but it is something that these people can't avoid at all.

"If that's the case, it's time to fight hard." After a long time, the counselor doctor smiled and said. "What does the captain mean, how to deal with this matter?"

"Just stop at Shangshutai." Liu Yu had already made up his mind for a long time. "Hold down the message that does not move, and wait for the message that the Yuan is always in...... lest some people's brains be hot, and they happen to be caught by Gongsun Bogui. ”

"But Taiwei ......," Shao Fu pointed to the window again. Outside the window is Jing Youxi's Tiger Army, now that the news is in and out of Weiyang Palace, it will inevitably go from him, what is the point of us passing it on or not? ”

"It's for him to pass it on!" Liu Yu said awe-inspiringly. "Jing Youxi is Gongsun Wenqi's private ...... If he can't discern the source of the source, he will inevitably be cautious in his words and deeds; And if the source is clear, he will inevitably act. At that time, we will be able to prescribe the right medicine. ”

Chong Shao and Huang Wan and Yang Biao on the side woke up together.

Yes, if Shang Shutai is steady, and the news spreads again, it must be that there is a problem with Jingze's link, and once Jingze takes the initiative to spread, nine times out of ten it is Gongsun Xun fishing...... At this time, you can immediately make an appointment with the ministers and remind them.

It seems that this is the end of the matter.

However, everyone was just about to relax, but they couldn't help but notice Situ Zhao Qian's expression, the latter had a strange face, and kept staring at the short document.

"What doubts does Zhao Situ have?" Liu Yu and the others couldn't help but be curious.

"Don't hide it from the public." Zhao Qian pointed to the Chinese book and replied seriously. "The princes should know that they had led troops out of the pass with the intention of cutting down Shu, and had been stationed in Longshang for nearly half a year, so they knew a lot about the situation there...... I'm amazed by the word elk! If you hadn't really been there, you wouldn't have been able to write this statement. ”

Liu Yu and the others were stunned together.

Because the meaning of Zhao Qian's words couldn't be clearer, in Longshang, Hanzhong and Wudu generations, elk are indeed in large groups, and they are enough to break through small military formations and camps!

In other words, this seemingly extremely ridiculous military newspaper is actually extremely true and credible.

"If that's the case, then it's hard to say that God bless Yanhan." Yang Biao sighed leisurely, but slowly shook his head. "After all, Hanzhong is the source of the Yan Han. But this can't be said, it's just that Gongsun Wenqi is extra careful in order to clean Chang'an. ”

"Yes, I'm just sighing at the word elk." Zhao Qian also sighed, then threw down the paperwork and smiled left and right. "After that day, will you not be able to see clearly? We can't do anything without soldiers...... And once General Wei is really unlucky, when the north is in turmoil, I estimate that Ye Xia and Hebei Qizhou will serve their sons to protect themselves, and slowly try the overall situation, and even if Guanzhong is unstable, I am afraid that it will only be controlled by people like Gongsun Zhan, if he is in power, the court will only be more difficult! I can't say that I will add nine tin in three or five days. ”

The crowd was gloomy again.

"Then wait for news!" Liu Yu thought about it again and again, and finally maintained the original plan. "This document is sealed in Shangshutai...... Yang Shangshu, if it is not my order, I must not talk about this matter with anyone, and wait and see what happens! ”

Yang Mi, who had been standing silently, nodded.

But just when Liu Yu and the others were about to get up, they suddenly spoke: "But before the princes arrived, I had already told the Son of Heaven about this matter, and the Son of Heaven had a will early, if the Taiwei and the princes arrived, please go to the front hall for a while after finishing their official duties...... Speaking of which, the Son of Heaven has been waiting for a long time. ”

There was silence in the public room, and Liu Yu stared at Yang Mi for a long time, and after a while, he turned his head, but looked at Yang Biao with an expressionless face.

The atmosphere in the public housing is getting more and more eerie.

"According to the arrangement before General Wei left, the Son of Heaven's external communications, in addition to the three emperors, the rest are Shangshu, Shizhong, and Shilang, which must also be recognized by the records of the Tiger Benjun...... DID YOU KNOW? Sikong Yang Biao finally spoke slowly under Liu Yu's forced gaze and questioned his brother.

"Of course I know." Yang Mi remained silent. "So, last night it was Tiger Ben Zhonglang who forwarded Jing Ze on his behalf; And after that, it was Tiger Ben Zhonglang who was appointed to deliver the decree himself. ”

The breathing of the people in the house suddenly became heavy.

And Liu Yu also suddenly felt in his heart - these people have won over Jingze.

Maybe it was a long time ago, or maybe today's 'Elk Change' frightened him, and then he was lured by the Son of Heaven himself; maybe Jing Ze himself really took refuge, after all, his uncle was a loyal minister of the Han family, maybe he just saw the military report and lost his mind for a while, or he was simply ordered to surrender by fraud; maybe Wang Yun, Yang Mi, Yang Biao, and even Zhao Qian had already colluded, or maybe most of them were just by chance, and they were all kept in the dark by the Son of Heaven, and they only woke up today...... But no matter what, these people at least wooed Kyozawa on the surface!

Jing Ze, Jing Youxi, Hu Ben Zhonglang General, control the power of Weiyang Palace Guard, or it may be in Chang'an City at this time...... No, it may be the command of the largest elite force in the entire Sanfu region at this time.

This chip is enough to change the overall situation at this time!

But Gongsun Chan happened to be invited by Wang Yun to go outside the city...... Coincidental or not, you say?

"You will harm the Son of Heaven like this!" Liu Yu was furious.

"Why didn't the Captain go and talk to the Son of Heaven in person?" Yang Mi leaned over and said earnestly.

"That's exactly what I mean." Liu Yu immediately went to the layman, and at this moment, his only hope was to convince Xiao Tianzi to stop.

————I'm a dividing line that can't stop————

"Dong and Fu are of the Yi clan, and the Wang family is returned to Handan...... The Son of Heaven suffered, thinking that there was no one to conspire with, but asked Shangshu Yang Zhan, and recommended Wang Yun, the former Taizhong doctor. Shi Yun was guilty of a crime, and he was not allowed to trespass outside the city, and the Son of Heaven was in the palace and was not allowed to go out without permission. Later, the general Gongsun Zan led the public security affairs in Chang'an, and some servants of the Wang family made the first complaint, but it was not inferred. The Son of Heaven was terrified, and asked Yang Zan again, and Chan said: "What's the trouble, tomorrow I will be confused by the silk car, and the general will push it without testing, and he will be relieved of his doubts." 'The Son of Heaven followed, and the car scrapped into the city and returned to the city, but no one was found, and there was no doubt about it. - "New Yanshu". Volume sixty-two. Biography 12
