The capital of the Eastern Han Dynasty, Luoyang. Emperor Liu Xie of the Han Dynasty accepted Liu Xie's secret edict from Liu Bei and Ma Teng and became ministers of the Xinghan Dynasty.

In addition, the ten permanent servants are all ambushed, and now there are no eunuchs in the court to make trouble, in order to settle down, afraid of the southern invasion of the Xiongnu and Xianbei, it is only before that Liu Bei was sent out to pacify the north. After Liu Bei sent Zhao Xu, Guan Yu and others to the battle, he got the battle report, knowing that Zhao Xu and others had won the battle, and they frequently succeeded, and even Cao Cao, Ma Teng, and Han Sui also asked for orders to fight. Years of fear were finally relieved, and at the same time, the pent-up desire exploded. It is to drink and have fun from time to time, but Liu Xie sat down for a while after nine deaths, and he still did not dare to drink and have fun all day long like the previous Emperor Ling, and mingle with the palace maids. The last dynasty still has to go up, but it is only to listen to the situation of Liu Bei and other princes.

On this day, Liu Xie was playing with the concubines in the palace, and suddenly an attendant came in and said: "Your Majesty, the two prime ministers came to see you, saying that they had something important to see, and asked Your Majesty to discuss it quickly." ”

Since Liu Xie sat down in Luoyang, remembering the merits of Yang Biao, Wang Yun and others, and rewarding the ministers of the court, he named Wang Yun as the left prime minister and Yang Biao as the right prime minister. Later, under Liu Xie's soft grinding and hard bubbles, Yang Biao was not good at brushing off the will of the Son of Heaven, so he had to agree, and after offering the emperor, he named his son Yang Xiu as a waiter.

"Oh! The two prime ministers are here, please come in. Emperor Liu Xie is still self-motivated, although he was taken aback, looking at these beautiful concubines in front of him, he was still a little reluctant, but he was afraid of Yang Biao and Wang Yun's reprimand, so he still reluctantly dispersed the concubines and hurriedly dressed neatly.

The chamberlain shouted: "Your Majesty has a decree, Xuanzuo Prime Minister Wang Yun and Right Prime Minister Yang Biao will meet you!" ”

There was a rush of footsteps outside the door, and I saw Yang Biao and Wang Yun hurrying in, and the two kowtowed: "Weichen knocks to see Your Majesty!" ”

Emperor Liu Xie smiled all over his face, raised his hand and said with a smile: "Two old Aiqing, please get up, sit down!" ”

Yang Biao and Wang Yun bowed again: "Thank you, Your Majesty!" Get up and sit down opposite Liu Xie.

Wang Yun opened the topic first and asked: "Your Majesty, the previous Yanzhou Cao Cao and Xiliang Ma Teng asked for orders to go to the Northern Desert to help Uncle Huang succeed, and they have all come back not long ago, does Your Majesty know?" ”

Liu Xie laughed and said: "How can this me not know that Cao Aiqing and Ma Aiqing took the initiative to send troops to help Uncle Huang defeat the Huns and Xianbei, and their loyalty can be seen!" ”

Yang Biao heard Emperor Xian say Cao Cao's name, his expression changed, and he said: "Your Majesty, Ma Teng is too guarded, this Cao Cao should not be underestimated." ”

Liu Xie was shocked: "Why? ”

Yang Biao paused, looked around, and said, "Your Majesty thinks that Cao Cao is the minister of Sheji; In fact, Xu Shao, a famous man in Runan, once commented on Cao Cao as "a capable minister who rules the world, and a traitor in troubled times". This person should be careful. ”

Liu Xie said disapprerovingly: "Taiwei is too worried, folklore, how can he take it seriously, not to mention that Taiwei also said, that Xu Shao also commented that Cao Cao is a capable minister who governs the world, if it is peaceful today, why be suspicious, if you suspect your ministers only based on the words of one person, if this matter is known to others, it will not chill the hearts of everyone in the world." ”

"Your Majesty thinks the world is peaceful now? The previous rumor of the disappearance of the jade seal of the country, there are rumors that it was obtained by Sun Jian, the Taishou of Changsha, at that time, the allies also had a major dispute over the jade seal of the country, so that Sun Jian was attacked and killed by Liu Biao of Jingzhou, and then the jade seal of the country is unknown, and recently there are rumors that the jade seal of the country fell into the hands of Yuan Shu in Huainan, but it has not been returned for a long time, and its ambition can be seen; That's why we're here. Forgive the old minister for being rude, Your Majesty, don't forget the scar and forget the pain! When Wang Yun heard what Liu Xie said, he couldn't help but be slightly angry, this little emperor is so ignorant of current affairs.

After listening to Wang Yun's words, Liu Xie couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat when he remembered the suffering he had suffered before. hurriedly said: "What the old Aiqing taught is that the two Aiqing are invited to continue." ”

After Wang Yun finished speaking, his head also broke out in a cold sweat, after all, it was the emperor opposite, in case he didn't listen to the advice and killed him in a fit of anger, it would be terrible. Fortunately, Liu Xie was still mediocre to the point of being close to stupidity, and after listening to Liu Xie, both of them breathed a sigh of relief and looked at each other. Wang Yun continued: "Although there are many princes everywhere who are loyal to the Han Dynasty, but there are more people with bad intentions, as far as Cao Cao just said, it is no longer a peaceful and prosperous era, and we don't know what Cao Cao's heart is, at least now he has no changes, not to mention that Cao Cao has the merit of saving the driver, and he took the initiative to attack Xianbei before, and he is a meritorious minister, although he must be careful, but he must be rewarded; According to the minister's opinion, Cao Cao has made many meritorious contributions, and we can try to be satisfied with him and let him keep to himself. ”

Liu Xie breathed a sigh of relief, wiped his sweat with his sleeve, and said, "What Situ said is very true, please continue." ”

Yang Biao said: "If Huainan Yuan Shu has different intentions, it may not be able to make much waves, its location is Yangzhou, the west is Jingzhou Thorn Shi Liu Jingsheng, and the north also has Xuzhou Thorn Shi Tao Qian, not to mention Liu Huang's uncle Liu Bei, these three are loyal ministers, and there is no need to worry too much." ”

Liu Xie wanted to ask again, and the waiter outside the door said: "Your Majesty, Uncle Liu Huang of Qingzhou, Cao Cao of Yanzhou, and Ma Teng of Liangzhou have all reported the battle, and there are also envoys sent by the Xiongnu and Xianbei Shan Yu." ”

Liu Xie was taken aback, no matter how incompetent Emperor Xian was, he also knew that the Xianbei and Huns in the border pass were not easy to mess with, and now Liu Bei, Ma Teng, and Cao Cao all came to report the war, and the Xiongnu and Xianbei envoys came...... Liu Xie didn't dare to think about the bad again.

Yang Biao saw that Liu Xie's face was panicked, and hurriedly comforted: "Your Majesty, you don't need to worry too much, then Yanzhou Cao Cao is back safe and sound, and this must be good news." Liu Xie didn't dare to think about it, but he hoped so, he was busy dressing up and coming to the court with Yang Biao and Wang Yun.

"Where are the Xiongnu and Xianbei envoys? Where is the battle report, come quickly! ”

The chamberlain first sent the war report, and was busy passing the three war reports to Emperor Han Xian, Emperor Han Xian was apprehensive, and took a detailed look at it, when he was young, Emperor Han Xian saw the three war reports clearly, sighed, and suddenly his face was full of joy, and his tense mood was relaxed, it turned out that it was a great news!

Except for Yang Biao, Wang Yun and other old ministers, the other courtiers all looked at Emperor Liu Xie with nervous expressions, and then saw his face full of smiles, which was a look of great joy, and they couldn't help but ask strangely: "Your Majesty, dare to ask what the war report says?" ”

"Haha, this is a great event! This is Qingzhou Liu Huangshu, Liangzhou Ma Teng, Han Sui, Yanzhou Cao Cao three envoys sent an urgent good news, the good news claims that the emperor's uncle's subordinate generals have led the army to pacify the Xiongnu in Guanzhong, the Xiongnu surrendered; Later, Cao Cao Aiqing and Ma Teng Aiqing, Han Sui Aiqing sent troops to help the emperor's uncle crusade against Xianbei, several people worked together, and Xianbei was pacified, and now the Xiongnu and Xianbei tribes have surrendered; Ha ha! Uncle Huang and Cao Aiqing are so loyal to the country, I am very relieved! The Han family is worry-free! Emperor Xian had an extremely satisfied smile on his face and said with a smile.

"It's great, Uncle Huang can make such an immortal achievement, it is an unprecedented achievement, the sky has eyes! Now that there is an uncle of the emperor, my Han family can flourish. ”

"Who is this imperial uncle's subordinate general Zhao Xu? It was so good that he pacified the Xiongnu alone. ”

"Yes! Oh, yes! I heard that this Zhao Xu is both civil and military, and he is a genius in the world. ”

......

For a time, there was a lot of discussion in the court, each with its own words, each with its own focus, and the ministers were also surprised, each with praise.

"Uncle Liu Huang of Qingzhou, Cao Cao of Yanzhou, Ma Teng of Xiliang, and Han Sui have made this immortal achievement, and I implore Your Majesty to be promoted and rewarded." At this time, a courtier walked out of the song. Several courtiers also came out to ask the emperor to reward Liu Bei and others, and they had appeased their hearts.

"What everyone Aiqing said is exactly, but the pacification of Xianbei, the Huns, Cao Cao Aiqing and Ma Teng Aiqing all went later, although there is a great achievement, but they are only auxiliary. Uncle Huang's subordinate army resisted Xianbei alone for several months, they are the main force, especially his subordinate general Zhao Xu, who pacified the Xiongnu alone, and the Xiongnu did not have the slightest power to fight back, and their courage was visible; With this great achievement, it is difficult for the general title to settle down, and I don't know for a while, what to reward the emperor's uncle! "Emperor Xian made a small calculation, and deliberately said Liu Bei first. But he was telling the truth.

Zuo Prime Minister Wang Yun walked out and said: "Your Majesty, Uncle Liu Huang begged Dong Zhuo, suppressed the Yellow Turban, and then rescued him thousands of miles; Many major events have been greatly involved, and many great achievements have been made early. Later, in addition to Yuan Shao, Gongsun Du was accepted, the Xiongnu were leveled, Xianbei was fixed, and the north was leveled. Such a great achievement, if it is awarded an ordinary title, it is no longer a great achievement. Weichen dared to ask His Majesty to personally crown the imperial uncle as the king, so as to conform to the meritorious work of the imperial uncle. ”

Yang Biao, the right prime minister, also played: "If there is no emperor in the country, I don't know how many people in the world want to be the emperor and how many people want to be the king." Xuande Gong is brave and loyal, and the name of benevolence is all over the world, and no one knows. With the virtue of Zhou Gong, the merit of Jiang Shang, the prime minister of Zhou, is nothing more than that, not to mention the Xuande Gongben Han family clan, after King Jing of Zhongshan, he has the immortal merit at this time, and it is in line with the will of the people of the world to be crowned king, and it is nothing. ”

Dong Zhaojin, the long history, said: "Since ancient times, people and ministers have not been as meritorious as the emperor's uncle, although Zhou Gong and Jiang Shang are beyond reach. For more than ten years, he swept away the murderers, eliminated the harm with the people, and made the Han family prosperous. How can you be listed with all the princes? He was awarded the title of King of Xinghan and added nine tins to show merit. ”

Liu Xie had already had this intention, and discussing with the ministers was just to bring up the topic, thinking that Liu Bei would be the king, and he could rein in his heart; Second, it can deter the world. It is exactly what Liu Xie wants. At the moment, he said: "Uncle Liu Bei Xing volunteers, Kuang Fu Han family, such a loyal will, the people of the world have seen it, if you don't reward it, it will be difficult to calm the hearts of the people." ”

Seeing the wind and rudder, some officials on the wall stood up and said in unison with Yang Biao and others: "Your Majesty Shengming." ”

Liu Xie was overjoyed and said with a smile: "That's it, spread my will, call the emperor's uncle to Chang'an, and I will personally crown him and crown him as the king of Xinghan!" ”
