Let Li Ru first order Cheng Yun to enter the palace to see the Empress Dowager He, but not to let the Empress Dowager He wait for him, the performance of the government and the opposition, but to make a report, so that the Empress Dowager He has a preparation, don't come out with any moths, he is now in this body to experience the last thing, I am afraid that he will not have the strength to push the Empress Dowager He away again.

But Empress Dowager He was still waiting in the main hall, and the curtain was not closed, so she sat gracefully behind the desk, waiting for Cheng Yun to arrive.

Hearing that Cheng Yun asked to see her, Empress Dowager He announced Cheng Yun's visit, tidied up her clothes, Cheng Yun entered, her face did not change, "Weichen has seen the Queen Mother." ”

"Hussar, please take a seat." Empress Dowager He smiled gently, "Hussar Hedong and his party, are you okay?" Next time, if there is a similar situation, you can tell this palace first, and this palace will do its best to provide support. ”

Cheng Yun smiled, "It's okay, Hedong Baibo Yellow Turban said that it was a Yellow Turban, but it was just a group of refugees in the name of the Yellow Turban, except for the leader Guo Tai, there was no idea of rebellion." As soon as Mrs. Guo died, Zhao'an was very smooth, just waiting for the queen mother's order, these hundreds of thousands of displaced people, we can not only solve the affairs of refugees, but also fill the granary of my Han. ”

Empress Dowager He smiled and nodded, "What the hussar said is very much in the heart of the palace, and the matter of Tuntian will be fully handed over to the hussar to be responsible, and the hussar can say anything if he needs it." ”

Cheng Yun groaned, "There are a lot of things to discuss with Dasi Nong, and only after the discussion can it be finalized, and then Weichen will ask Her Majesty the Queen Mother for advice." ”

Empress Dowager He nodded, "Hussars enter the palace today, is there something important?" ”

"Yes." Cheng Yun sat up straight and became serious, "I heard that the Queen Mother detained the bodies of the late Situ Wang Yun and others in Tingwei, and did not allow them to enter the ground for peace, so I came here today to intercede." ”

Empress Dowager He didn't care and smiled, "There is indeed such a thing." They intend to rebel and persecute our loyal ministers of the Han Dynasty, and they cannot be easily let go, and they must be punished clearly and canonically to set an example. ”

Cheng Yun was expressionless, "What did they do to make the Queen Mother feel that they were plotting rebellion?" It's just a matter of urgency. I also hope that the Queen Mother will protect them for the sake of their loyalty to the country for decades, at least let them be buried in peace. ”

Empress Dowager He's expression was complicated, "This palace is doing this, all to protect the hussar general, the hussar general is my big Han humerus, the pillar of the court, has always been loyal and diligent in the king's affairs, they are against you, I can't let them go easily." ”

Cheng Yun was speechless, his heart softened, and his face was helpless, "Thank you Queen Mother for your compassion, but the Queen Mother, you are the mother of a country, you have to think more on the side of the Han Dynasty, and you can't classify the person who is against me as a traitor just because I am a loyal minister." Sometimes, there are some different voices in the court, which will make the Han healthier. ”

Empress Dowager He didn't speak, Cheng Yun was a little restless, why did it come to this moment again, if I were to be as fierce as before, it didn't seem appropriate!

Seeing his appearance, Empress Dowager He couldn't help but wonder, she didn't think much about it, just had someone to help her share the pressure, a long time ago, this person was

Emperor Han Ling, this person was He Jin not long ago, and now she hopes it is Cheng Yun.

"Okay, since the hussars have said so, they have also been ambushed, corpses or something, let the family welcome back, as for their crimes, since they have been judged to be treason, they can no longer be changed, they can compensate their heirs privately, but they must not be rehabilitated in a righteous and bright way."

"It's doomed to be wrong again and again." Cheng Yun took a deep breath, "Since you can't change the charge of treason, let's write the language more euphemistically, it doesn't sound excessive." ”

"Like an impulse?" After Empress Dowager He finished speaking, her heart jumped, and she stared at Cheng Yun with watery eyes, remembering her impulse last time.

Cheng Yun stood up, "This kind of thing can make Cui Lie think for himself, on the basis of rebellion, try to reduce the harm to their reputation as much as possible, words like forced to do so, but it is really not possible to push Lu Bu." ”

Empress Dowager He took a long time, "Cui Lie? He's old. ”

"Huh?" Cheng Yun's words that he wanted to say goodbye turned into questioning, "What's the matter?" ”

Empress Dowager He snorted, "He was in a daze at the court meeting, and he was saddened by the death of the god king, so he told the old man." ”

Cheng Yun sighed, "Recruit celebrities and celebrities as soon as possible to fill the position of the Three Princes and Nine Qings, Cui Lie's position as Shang Shuling can be relieved, but he can't be allowed to retire." Well, I'll go talk to him. ”

Cheng Yun couldn't salute, and gestured with his left hand, "Weichen retreats." ”

Empress Dowager He watched Cheng Yun's back slowly disappear into the palace, and then lowered her head, not knowing what to think, and her lonely expression was written all over her cheeks.

Out of the palace, Li Ru was waiting outside the door, and when he saw Cheng Yun coming out, he immediately greeted him, Cheng Yun nodded and signaled, "Wenyou, go to Tingwei now to pass on the decree, all the people who participated in the rebellion the night before yesterday will have their bodies claimed by their families, and they will all be buried in peace." ”

Li Ru nodded to convey, Cheng Yun pondered for a while, got into the carriage, and Tian Yu pulled a whip, "Do you want to go back next?" ”

"No, let's go to Cui's mansion."

Cui Lie was lying in bed at home, he looked a lot older in frustration, and resigned from his official position, he didn't have the burden of going to court and ordering, so he languished in bed and didn't get up.

Cheng Yun let people inform him of the news of his coming, it was Cui Jun and Cui Yuanping who received him, Cui Jun was puzzled by Cheng Yun's arrival, if he came to take revenge, it wouldn't be only two people who came.

"I came to harass today to relieve the resentment in Ling Zun's heart." Cheng Yun saw that Cui Jun was puzzled and didn't dare to speak, so he could only explain by himself, "His old man is old, and if there are some things, he always holds them in his heart, which hurts his body." It's better to talk about it openly and honestly. I don't know what Cui Yilang thinks? ”

"The hussar has a heart, but my father's mentality is not very good during this time, if there is any rudeness to say anything, I hope the hussar will bear more." Cui Jun has no opinion on Cheng Yun, and even has something to do with Cheng Yun because his younger brother was rescued by Zhang

implicated, so when he saw him coming, he didn't say anything to mock him, but just received him.

Cheng Yun nodded, he didn't care, he wasn't beaten out, which showed that the Cui family was already very sensible, and gave himself and Cui Lie the opportunity to speak out, of course they couldn't let it go.

So Cheng Yun went directly to Cui Lie's door and knocked on the door, Cui Lie was unhappy inside, "Who!" I said I won't let you bother me, get out of here! ”

Cheng Yun pushed open the door and walked into Cui Lie's bedroom, Cui Lie was even more angry, turned around, and was just about to go crazy, when he saw Cheng Yun, he was stunned for a moment, "Why are you?" What are you here to do? ”

Cheng Yun didn't recognize his life, knelt beside the desk, "What, you're not welcome?" ”

Tian Yu and Cui Jun were outside the door and didn't go in, Cui Jun helped him close the door, "Why don't you go with me and drink a cup of hot tea?" ”

Tian Yu nodded and agreed, "The general doesn't dare to be, Yuan Ping can just call me Wen Rang, since Yuan Ping invited, then it would be disrespectful, please." ”

Hearing that the two people outside were leaving, Cui Lie had a cold face, "Not welcome, don't you have a little self-knowledge?" Don't say I'm not welcome today, and I won't be in the future! ”

Cheng Yun smiled, "Okay, I don't expect you to be welcome, just let it be, it is said that you are old?" What's the situation? You were willing to put down this official position and secretly hid it? ”

"You are presumptuous!" Cui Lie was shaken by his angry beard, and put on his clothes indiscriminately, "There is a scum like you in the imperial court, where is the soil for loyal ministers to live?" Just look at the fate of the prince's division! ”

"The fate of the prince division will not be the fate of other loyal ministers." Cheng Yun said lightly, "Cui Lie, don't be blinded by those gossips, don't be blinded by those superficial things, use your eyes to see what is a loyal minister and what is a traitor." ”

Cui Lie laughed miserably, like a lion who had failed to fight for power, his beard was all open, "You say, you explain how Wang Zishi died?" You explain why Wang Zishi has been loyal to the Han for so many years, but he still ended up in disrepute! ”

"I'm a person, not a god, I can control myself, I can't control others." Cheng Yun was not shocked, "Wang Yun died at the hands of Li Tong, the governor of Xiyuan, including Zhou Huan Lu Kui and others, all died in the hands of Li Tong. Li Tong and I are not of one mind, what can I do? Do you think that people who are close to me may be controlled by a holy decree that can't even be sealed by the national seal? ”

Seeing that Cui Lie was still going to speak, Cheng Yun was a little tired, "Cui Weikao, you are a famous person in Youzhou, you used to be, but then you didn't, why?" Sell the official beard. Can you pay to buy an official when the eunuch is in power, can't you stand up and provoke the girder when the country needs you? You lived to be a dog at a young age? I will recommend you to the position of Tingwei tomorrow morning, you don't like it properly, you would rather let me lean into the government and the opposition, than dare to stand up for people with lofty ideals, I want to see how you live openly in the eyes of others. ”
