Under Zhang Liao's precautions, the first court meeting went smoothly beyond imagination, and Liu Ai's closeness made Zhang Liao realize his true weight in the court now, and no one dared to underestimate it. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

Zhang Liao felt that the situation was better than he expected, and Liu Xie and the courtiers were also relieved that the old things they were worried about about Dong Zhuo and Li Guo had not been repeated in Zhang Liao, which was enough to make them happy after going through the ordeal.

After the first court meeting, Shang Shutai immediately issued an edict, and the proposed officials quickly took office.

At the same time, Zhang Liao's other father-in-law, Tang Mao, who was originally the chief inspector, was appointed as the Shaofu, and Zhang Liao also allocated food to him for the use of the Son of Heaven and the concubine, which can be described as a great joy.

After Xun Yu was appointed as Shangshu Ling, Zhang Liao took frustration as a long history, and frustrated was acting prudently, impartially, not going sideways, and coordinating inside and outside in the center, Zhang Liao was more at ease.

After the imperial court settled in Anyi, the safety of Anyi also became an important issue, and the previous forbidden army was seriously damaged, and there were only more than 100 left, Zhang Liao transferred soldiers from his personal guard battalion and various armies to supplement the forbidden army, with Han Hao as the commander of the central protection army, responsible for guarding and guarding Anyi.

Han Hao followed Zhang Liao as early as Hanoi, and for four years Zhang Liao has been letting him lead the affairs of Tuntian in Xiazhou County, which he has done very well, and this person is an all-rounder who is both civil and military, and acts steadily, Zhang Liao transferred him to lead the forbidden army this time.

As for Gao Shun, Dian Wei, Zhao Yun and other generals, Zhang Liao also considered it, but after all, he felt that it was a pity for them to lead the forbidden army, wasting their combat effectiveness, and they were needed to fight on all sides at the moment.

Three days later, the heads of Li Dao and Guo Yan came from Guanzhong, which surprised the imperial court, they didn't expect Zhang Liao to defeat Li Dao and Guo Yan so quickly, and they were directly killed, and they couldn't help but value Zhang Liao's military ability again.

They didn't know that Zhang Liao pacified Guanzhong faster than they imagined, Li Dao, Guo Yan, Yang Feng, and Yang Ding were killed as early as before the first court meeting, but at that time, Zhang Liao did not mention it in order to grasp the power of Guanzhong, and then the court supervised the affairs of Guanzhong, and the heads of Li Dao and Guo Yan, who had already been prepared, came immediately, as for Yang Ding and Yang Feng, Zhang Liao considered that they had guarded the Son of Heaven, and it was of little significance to pass on the head of the court, so he directly killed them on the spot.

After the heads of Li Dao and Guo Yan were transmitted back to Hedong, the imperial court held a second court meeting in Anyi Palace to reward Zhang Liao's merits and celebrate the death of Li Dao and Guo Yan.

At the second court meeting, Zhang Liao showed his edge and fangs, but this fangs were not aimed at the Son of Heaven and the imperial court, but at other princes.

Fengtianzi to please the princes, Fengtianzi is the past, and courting the princes is the goal.

"Your Majesty."

On the main hall of Anyi Palace, Zhang Liao clenched his fists and said in a deep voice: "Since the beginning of peace, the thieves have been raging, the states and counties have risen, and the imperial court decrees are difficult to implement. ”

There was a moment of silence in the court, Liu Xie and the courtiers did not expect Zhang Liao to raise this question, this problem is the most serious problem faced by the Han Dynasty at the moment, Liu Xie and the courtiers did not dare to think deeply at all, let alone discuss the court.

At this time, Zhang Liao brought it up, shattering their luck and avoidance mentality, so that they had to face this problem.

Liu Xie looked at Zhang Liao with a bit of expectation in his eyes: "Does Zhang Qing have a clever plan?" ”

Zhang Liao's voice was sonorous and powerful: "Why do you need a clever strategy, the imperial court will send Zhaozhou County, they will come to pay tribute when they are old, and the taxes shall not be in arrears, and the officials above the county level must be appointed by the imperial court, and the soldiers and horses will be transferred by the imperial court, and that's it." ”

Everyone in the hall was speechless for a while, what Zhang Liao said, I'm afraid those princes can't do it at all.

Liu Xie shook his head and said: "Zhang Qing, it's not that the imperial court doesn't issue an edict, but since the imperial court moved westward, it has sent envoys to Kanto every year, but only Liu Yu from Youzhou, Liu Biao from Jingzhou, and Tao Qian from Xuzhou sent envoys to ......."

"That's Your Majesty's benevolence and righteousness," Zhang Liao's voice was domineering: "The local tributary court, this is justified, if you come to the court, if you don't come to the court, then you will be rebellious and send troops to conscript." ”

"I'm afraid this is inappropriate, and no soldiers should be used until the last resort." Liu Xie shook his head in disapproval.

Taiwei Yang Biao came out and said: "General Zhang, the Han Dynasty has ruled the world with benevolence and filial piety for hundreds of years, and the fourth and third princes of the Yuan family are all loyal to the imperial court, but there is no time, if the imperial court sends troops to attack at will, is it unrighteous?" ”

Immediately, a few more courtiers agreed, although they were relatively close to Zhang Liao, but when it came to military affairs, one by one still held their own opinions, especially many courtiers had something to do with the Yuan clan in Runan, such as Yang Biao, and Yuan Shu was in-law.

Of course, there is also a very important factor that these courtiers are accustomed to seeking stability, and do not want to start a war, but only want to solve problems by other means.

However, the current chaos in the world is no longer something that can be solved through lobbying, and it must be put into military action in order to sweep away the ambitions of the princes and the sparks of the troubled times.

Zhang Liao frowned and glanced at them, and said in a deep voice: "As Your Majesty said, the imperial court sends envoys to Kanto every year, but Ranzhou County ignores them!" Yuan Shao and Gongsun Chan fought for Youji, fought fiercely for many years, invaded the state and county, and Gongsun Chan attacked Liu Youzhou and almost killed him! Cao Cao, Lu Bu and Tao Qian fought for Yanxu, slaughtered more than 100,000 people, and lost their lives! Yuan Shu invaded Yuzhou in the north, sought Xuzhou in the east, captured Yangzhou in the south, and attacked Jingzhou in the west, and detained the imperial court envoy and the late Taiwei Ma Riyan, causing him to die of grief! Gongsun Du seized Liaodong and established himself as king! ”

Liu Xiese changed his color and said: "Gongsun Zhanguo wants to kill Mrs. Liu? Captain Matthew is deceased? More than 100,000 people in Yanzhou and Xuzhou were really slaughtered? ”

Zhang Liao said solemnly: "Such a big event, how dare the minister talk nonsense, Your Majesty can send an envoy to Kanto again, and you can find out." ”

Liu Xie and all the courtiers all changed their faces.

Zhang Liao looked around the hall: "The situation in the world is so erosive, the people suffer deeply, if the court ignores it, I am afraid that in a few decades, the four hundred years of the Han Dynasty will fall apart, and the prestige of the court will be completely lost. ”

He looked at Liu Xie again: "Your Majesty wants to be the son of Zhou Tianzi?" Let the princes rise together, compete in all directions, and win the weight? If so, the ministers did not make such a proposal. ”

There was a dead silence in the hall, Liu Xie's face was uncertain, and Yang Biao and other courtiers who were originally eloquent also fell silent.

At this time, the great Si Nong Cai Yong came out: "The ministers attach the hussar general's proposal, the local tributary court, the courtiers visit the monarch, this is a matter of course, Your Majesty is now edicting the place, and it will come to the court." ”

Shangshu ordered Xun Yu to be listed: "The minister seconded the proposal, the world is in turmoil, and the court must be calmed down, without hesitation, otherwise it will become more and more intense, which will be unfavorable to the people and the country." ”

"The minister seconded the proposal."

Tingwei Zhong Xuan came out of the ranks, followed by Situ Shi Sun Rui, Sikong Xuanfan, Guangluxun Deng Quan, Zhijin Wufu Wan, and more than ten ministers such as Taichang Zhou Zhong and Taifu Sima Fang, who had newly returned to the imperial court, came out to echo the list.

Most of these more than ten ministers are from Guanzhong, but there are also people from Guandong, Yang Biao and other ministers can only echo this situation, but most of the ministers suggest that the imperial court first issue an edict, let the princes come to the court, or send protons, as for the use of troops will be discussed later.

Zhang Liao did not have the slightest opinion on this, military affairs are originally to serve politics, if these princes come to the court in person, or send protons, how can he still use soldiers, just wait for them to enter the court.

Of course, in Zhang Liao's view, it is impossible to solve the problem with an edict, otherwise the princes would have come to King Qin a long time ago, no matter Yuan Shao, Yuan Shu or other princes, they will not come to the court easily, at most they will send protons, but most of them should not even send protons, and it is a matter of time before they use troops.
