Chapter 095: The Lord is faint and the minister is also yong
The next day, the morning dynasty.
Emperor Liu Hong sat lazily on the dragon chair, listening to the reports of the hundreds of officials below, the whole person was drowsy, all of them were boring things such as floods, droughts, rebellions, official changes, etc., Liu Hong was tired of this kind of daily routine, he felt that the emperor was the most aggrieved identity in the world, listening to the reports of hundreds of officials, is this world really as said in those performances?
He didn't want to be like his predecessors, to be a well-behaved emperor, he arranged the harem to look like an outside market, let the eunuchs and palace maids pretend to be merchants and people, and then went to bargain himself, he once made a sheep cart, every day to the concubine, never notified in advance, but to drive the sheep cart, the sheep to which palace courtyard, he was fortunate which concubine.
The most ridiculous thing is that once the sheep cart took him to a dilapidated palace, it was a young woman surnamed He who had just been captured from the people, and she had no name, Liu Hong was in this dilapidated palace courtyard, and experienced the pleasure of cheating.
Later, Liu Hong would come here every day, and later, this young woman became He Meiren, He Guifei, and Queen He.
And He Jin is the elder brother of this Queen He, he was originally a butcher, because his sister was rich, and naturally he became a hot general step by step because of his relative's identity.
Liu Hong didn't know that his first acquaintance with Queen He was actually arranged by Zhang Rang, and the reason why the sheep cart at that time went to Queen He's dilapidated palace was not because of anything else, but because there was grass that sheep liked to eat in that palace.
Liu Hong also didn't know that in order to join forces to get rid of the previous foreign relatives' forces, He Jin did not hesitate to let his father do anything, although now the two are also in the same situation, which shows that in the political field, the world is impermanent.
"Your Majesty, Nanyang Taishou Gao Yi had a twist yesterday, asking for three million dollars to build a righteous monument to commemorate the lives that were drowned in the battle of Wancheng, what should I do, please make it clear to Your Majesty!"
In order to avoid a sensation, He Jin did not say the Yellow Turban Army but used the word "life", but on the issue of money, he asked for it, which shows that he did not have any good intentions.
"Three million?" Liu Hong frowned, and his heroic and melancholy face showed slight dissatisfaction, "Since the beginning of this year, the crusade against the thieves has cost a huge amount of money and food, and the treasury is tight, where is the three million money?" ”
Situ Yuan puppet is Yuan Shao's uncle, he went out of the class and said: "Your Majesty, this matter Weichen has also heard a little, although Gao Yi's move is commendable, but now the war has just been extinguished, Guangzong, Xiaquyang, Changshe, Chen Guo and other places where the yellow turban is raging The population has decreased sharply, the fields are barren, and the land of Nanyang is connected by natural disasters, and all kinds of waste are waiting to be revived, Gao Yi not only does not want to appease the people, recruit displaced people, reclaim wasteland, build water conservancy, and repair houses, but wants to apply for as much as three million money for the construction of the so-called righteous monument, and the living are still surviving, There is no need to do such a meaningless thing! ”
"Yuan Situ, if I'm not mistaken, that Gao Yi still calls you uncle, right?" He Jin looked at Yuan Puppet, and his tone was slightly dissatisfied.
Yuan Puppet smiled and nodded: "That's true, it's just that the old man is busy with government affairs, and he hasn't seen this child yet, but he often mentioned it to the old man at the beginning, and the general even knows the old man's family affairs so well, I really admire it!" ”
He Jin snorted coldly: "I don't care about Yuan Situ's family affairs, I'm just thinking, Yuan Situ is upright, it's really not a lie, it's just to be cautious in his words and deeds, and even his uncle and grandson avoid suspicion, isn't it a bit too much?" ”
Yuan puppet, as one of the three princes, Situ, did not cultivate party henchmen like others, and naturally did not take refuge in any party, his nephew Yuan Shao has also been flying eagle lackeys and did not come out to be an official, until Zhang Rang heard about this and said that Yuan Shao was not an official all day long What was going to be done, Yuan Puppet was a little worried, worried that the clan would be wiped out because of this, so he forced Yuan Shao to go out.
Hearing He Jin say this, Yuan Puppet laughed: "It is the duty of the three princes to use the talents, the old man's uncle and grandson are only seventeen years old when he is appointed as a county guard, it is already shaking the world, if there is a request, it will inevitably encourage his arrogance and extravagance, the old man is also for the sake of this child's future, the general should not make judgments, what should be, what should not be, or should His Majesty have the final say!" ”
Seeing that the two of them began to debate in the court again, Liu Hong only shook his head with a sigh, he smiled and said: "It turns out that this Gao Yi is still Yuan Situ's uncle and grandson, so I should take care of him more, by the way, the position of the captain has been empty for a while, it is better to issue an edict, at the price of three million, whoever can get this money, just give him this captain, these three million do not have to be paid into the treasury, directly sent to Nanyang, for Gao Yi to cover this monument of righteousness, isn't it the best of both worlds?" ”
This kind of thing is not new, but in Liu Hong's generation, it is indeed ridiculous to buy and sell the three princes and nine kings at a clear price, but today is good, Liu Hong is so mediocre that he said such a mediocre and dirty thing above the court, which is really chilling and helpless for hundreds of officials.
Yuan Puppet was naturally the first to object: "Your Majesty, although Cui Lie's virtue is exemplary, he is not worthy of the position of a captain, and I hope Your Majesty will think twice!" ”
"I hope Your Majesty will think twice!" Seeing that Situ took the lead in opposition, the hundred officials naturally responded together, and many of the words that He Jin had prepared did not come in handy, so he had to make a show to reject Liu Hong's almost absurd idea.
I didn't expect Liu Hong to almost choke to death with a word: "Don't think twice, since this money is waiting to be used, Cui Lie is not short of money, and there have been meteors and comets in the sky recently, and the land is constantly moving with water and drought. ”
Yuan Puppet was immediately stunned on the spot: he himself is Situ, one of the Three Princes, if a vision really happens, then the first person to be dismissed will definitely not be the new Tai Lieutenant, but him, Situ, Liu Hong's seemingly casual words, is he warning himself?
"Your Majesty, this move can be described as a big loss because of a small one, why not let Gao Yi raise the three million money by himself, and it is ridiculous to destroy the selection system of the three princes because of the performance of an ignorant boy!"
The hundred officials knelt on the ground and asked Liu Hong to take back his fate, but Liu Hong got up and flicked the sleeves of his robe: "I am tired today, there is no need to discuss this matter, pass on the imperial Shi Tian Feng to see me in the side hall and retreat from the court!" With that, Liu Hong walked towards the side hall, and the deacon and eunuch shouted in a long voice like a male duck: "Retreat from the court!" ”
