It's Yan Qing!

Yan Qing looked nervous. Pen ~ Fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info "Young master, there is a situation in the palace!" ”

Yan Qing was extremely safe, he was so nervous, something big must have happened.

"Xiao Yi, don't worry, sit down and talk slowly."

"Your Majesty has a move!"

Liu Mang's face was calm, and he stretched out his finger and pointed to the opposite position. "Sit down and talk."

"Your Majesty instructed Dong Cheng, Chong Ji and others to contact the courtiers, and want to invite Your Majesty to govern in person at tomorrow's court meeting!"

It's serious!

However, Liu Mang did not show any panic or uneasiness.

When Liu Mang was in charge of Hongnong and commanded the Battle of Yongliang, he heard similar rumors.

It's just that Liu Mang didn't expect that the little emperor would be so impatient.

How sure is the little emperor that he dares to make such a decision!

Liu Mang predicts that it must be related to the instigation and support of some princes!

Sure enough, Yan Qing confirmed Liu Mang's judgment.

"Young master, several envoys of the princes, all presented secret chapters!"

Liu Mang got the news that Yuan Shao had ordered his cronies in the imperial court to prepare to invite the little emperor to govern himself. It's just that Liu Mang didn't expect that Yuan Shao would contact the other princes. "Xiao Yi can know the details?"

Yan Qing looked guilty. "The little slave is incompetent......"

"Xiao Yi, don't say that, you've done a good job!"

Yan Qing is Liu Mang's confidant, and the little emperor naturally knows it.

Back then, the little emperor asked Liu Mang by name for Yan Qing to be the commander of his personal guards.

At that time, the little emperor Liu Xie was still young and did not have much scheming. I only think that Yan Qing has a good image, a good personality, and a good kung fu. Yan Qing is a guard, not only to protect his own safety, but also to learn kung fu from him.

It wasn't until Liu Xie grew up that he felt that there were many inconveniences with Yan Qing by his side. However, due to Liu Mang's face and power, Liu Xie did not dare to remove Yan Qing easily, so he could only deliberately alienate Yan Qing and not let Yan Qing come into contact with his confidential affairs.

It is rare for Yan Qing to know so much about it.

"Guan Xiao, how are they?"

"Young master, rest assured, Guan Xiao and the others are absolutely loyal to the young master, and have acted according to Mr. Berwyn's orders......"

What Liu Bowen ordered was naturally a shady thing such as conspiracy and trickery. Yan Qing's worst thing is to play tricks. As soon as he mentioned this, it was as if he was engaged in a conspiracy, and his face turned red with shame.

In the Anyi competition that year, Wu Song, Hu Dahai and Guan Xiao, Lei Mao, Ren Shen, Hu Qian and others selected by various ministries became the final winners.

Wu Song and Hu Dahai each had appointments, and Guan Xiao and Lei Mao were selected by the little emperor as the commanders of the personal guards and belonged to Yan Qing.

Guan Xiao, Lei Mao and others were appointed by the little emperor as guards in the inner court, which was a good thing for Liu Mang. It can not only protect the safety of the little emperor Liu Xie, but also act as his eyes and ears.

Liu Bowen is slippery.

Guan Xiao, Lei Mao and others were all selected from various departments in the army, and of course they were Liu Mang's subordinates.

Liu Bowen expected that as the little emperor grew older and had more ideas, he would not only be wary of Yan Qing, but also Guan Xiao, Lei Mao and other guards.

Liu Bowen offered a plan to let Guan Xiao, Lei Mao, Ren Shen, Hu Qian and others deliberately alienate each other, and even fight openly and secretly, and form gangs.

In this way, the little emperor Liu Xie will have the intention of wooing some of the guards.

Liu Bowen is an old slippery head, don't say that Liu Xie is only sixteen years old, even if he grows to sixty, he can't escape the trap set by Liu Bowen.

Sure enough, Guan Xiao and others ganged up, and the little emperor co-opted Guan Xiao, Hu Qian and others who were "alienated" from Liu Mang, instead of reusing Lei Mao, Ren Shen and other guards who were loyal to Liu Mang.

With these eyes and ears planted in the inner court, most of Liu Xie's actions can't escape Liu Mang's eyes.

"Young master, today, Dong Cheng brought someone to see Your Majesty."

"Who?"

"Wei Zheng, it seems to be from Hebei."

Liu Xie wants to reuse Wei Zheng?

Liu Mang suddenly wanted to laugh.

Liu Xie has been an emperor for several years, and a few years ago in Chang'an, he was used to hearing Dong Zhuo and his henchmen scolding; When he returned to Luoyang in the past few years, what Liu Xie heard more was the flattery of the ministers around him.

This little emperor wants to cultivate his cronies, but he is really hungry!

Get Wei Zheng, who can be called the first minister in history, to his side, okay!

After Yan Qing reported the situation, Liu Mang was about to send someone to invite the eldest grandson Wuji, but the eldest grandson Wuji came.

After arriving in Luoyang, the eldest grandson Wuji has been serving in the court, and the current general Wei, and Li Hongzhang, the secretary of the Shaofu, are also ranked in the ninth secretary.

The eldest grandson Wuji came late at night, also for the little emperor's pro-government.

Like Liu Mang's analysis, the eldest grandson Wuji believes that the little emperor has the idea of pro-government at this time, and it must be instigated by the Yuan Shao group behind his back.

Yuan Shao's move is very powerful!

The little emperor Liu Xie is already sixteen years old, and he personally manages the government and politics, which is reasonable and reasonable.

In other words, Yuan Shao's move took the lead in theory.

The eldest grandson Wuji analyzed that around the little emperor, there was no shortage of close ministers who gave advice. They will not be unaware that proposing that the little emperor pro-government is equivalent to directly calling Liu Mang.

Speaking of strength, whether it is military strength or influence in the imperial court, Liu Mang is not under Yuan Shao. Moreover, the imperial court is within Liu Mang's territory. With Yuan Shao's support alone, Liu Xie may not dare to move the idea of pro-government. Therefore, Liu Xie must also have the support of other parties.

Liu Bei, Sun Ce and others may not express their position directly, but they must have made a promise to Liu Xie openly and secretly.

In this matter, Yuan Shao grasped the reason first.

Instead of-for-tat, resolutely disagree with the little emperor's pro-government, it will be unreasonable and will lose people's hearts.

Moreover, the fact that the little emperor is in power is not terrible.

Liu Xie is still young, and even if he is pro-government, it is impossible for him to take over the power of the DPRK, and he is dictatorial.

As long as Liu Mang controls the military power and financial power, and some other rights are returned to the little emperor, it doesn't hurt.

The army was established by Liu Mang.

The generals in the army are almost all single-handedly promoted by Liu Mang.

Military power, others want to take it away, but they can't take it away.

Financial power is another important means for Liu Mang to control the imperial court.

In the Luoyang Imperial Court, the amount of food and drink relied on Liu Mang's governance. At the beginning, Liu Mang proposed Li Hongzhang to serve as the secretary of the Shaofu, and no one in the court had any objections, just because he was not Liu Mang's cronies in charge of money, the court had nothing to use, and no money to spend!

No one else can take away the financial power.

Liu Mang and the eldest grandson Wuji were not worried about the court meeting to discuss the matter of pro-government.

What they were worried about was that the little emperor Liu Xie and his close ministers, as well as Yuan Shao and other princes, had other conspiracies.

It's just that Liu Mang has no way of knowing the hidden thoughts of his opponent, and he can't plan a countermeasure in advance.

Liu Mang and the eldest grandson Wuji discussed to no avail, so they could only wait for the court meeting, improvise, and see the move.

When parting, the eldest grandson Wuji persuaded: "If someone makes a branch outside the festival at the court meeting, his subordinates ask the lord to be angry with thunder." ”

Liu Mang nodded and said, "I understand." If something unexpected happens, our strategy is to put it off as long as we can, and never make a decision in court. After the DPRK meeting, after a detailed analysis, we will make a proposal. ”

……

It's dawn.

The first day of the third year of Jian'an, January 26, 198 AD.

All the ministers of the court put on new clothes and went up to worship the Son of Heaven.

But everyone knew that in a moment, those beaming smiling faces could be covered with frost. Those polite and humble auspicious words will also turn into rivalry and sword!

Liu Mang had just walked into Zhanghua Gate, and Li Hongzhang rushed up and said in a low voice: "My lord, they seem to have other motions for today's court meeting." ”

Liu Mang nodded slightly quietly, walked up the steps steadily, and walked into the Chongde Hall of Luoyang South Palace...... (To be continued.) )
