On the ninth day of December in the first year of Chuping, noon was approaching.

Qingzhou's huge tributary convoy is still five miles away from the east of the city, and the entire Chang'an City has been crowded with joy, and thousands of Chang'an people are all covering the inside and outside of the Bacheng Gate in the East City, all wanting to witness the tributary grand occasion of Chang'an City again after more than a hundred years.

Fortunately, the generals of the capital garrison and the important ministers of the court learned the news half a day in advance, and early in the morning, they saw that the whole city was full of people running to tell each other, and immediately mobilized nearly 10,000 officers and soldiers to closely guard the entire section of the road inside and outside the gate of the city in the east of the city to the Weiyang Palace in the southwest of the city, but they were still worried about the crowding of people on both sides of the street that were gathering more and more black pressure.

The east gate of Weiyang Palace is also known as the East Sima Gate, outside the gate, the imperial prestige, is the necessary gate for the princes to enter the palace, just after noon, the Chinese military ministers of the dynasty have gathered outside the door to look forward to it, no matter what they thought of Qingzhou Mu Liu Cun before, at this moment, everyone is grateful in their hearts for Liu Cun's loyalty to the emperor and the imperial court, no one praises his loyalty to Geng Xiaoyi, and no one does not regard him as a model for the princes of the world - since the capital was moved to Chang'an, no one in the thirteen states of the Han Dynasty except Qingzhou Mu Liu Cun no one takes the emperor and the imperial court to heart!

Holding up the umbrella of the Son of Heaven on the high platform inside the east gate, the little emperor Liu Xie, who was less than ten years old, sat on a special dragon chair, he held the great Situ Wang Yun in one hand, and the new Sili Lieutenant Huang Wan in the other, and asked the two ministers he trusted the most sensibly: "Why can Uncle Liu Huang, who is far away on the coast of the sea, send more than 100 carts to the ministers of the country, and the states that are much closer can't say it?" Isn't Liu Aiqing worried about the dangers on the road? ”

Wang Yun was sad, and didn't know how to answer, Huang Wan's eyes were already wet. Bent down and whispered to answer the young emperor's question: "Because Lord Liu Zijian is a hero who believes in his words and stands up to the sky, and he is a hero." It can also be said that he is one of the most respected and trusted ministers of the first emperor of the Holy Father, ministers, etc., so to speak. It was the trust and respect of the first emperor that created him, a hero who is upright and courageous! ”

Liu Xie pondered for a moment, and asked in a low voice again: "Huang Aiqing, since my imperial uncle is a hero, why have you Aiqing only begged the Zongbo of Youzhou to send troops to save me, but never asked my imperial uncle?" ”

Huang Wan was speechless, straightened up and looked up at the sky and sighed frequently, he couldn't say it to the young emperor. Because Liu Cun restricted the aristocracy and local tycoons from embezzling the law to annex land, and then suppressed and attacked the family lords in various parts of Qingzhou, causing widespread disgust and even hatred among the ministers of the DPRK and China, no one was willing to bow to Liu Cun, right?

Liu Xie looked at the tributary procession that had not yet appeared in front of him, and whispered as if talking to himself: "I still remember that when I met the imperial uncle with my father, the imperial uncle took me and my brother's hands, asked how the homework was going, and answered many inquiries from me and the imperial brother. Tell me in detail what the Zhushan on the shore of the sea looks like, and how the exquisite painted pottery is made. made the father and the queen mother laugh, alas...... Every time I think about it, I feel very kind. It's just that I don't know when and when I will be able to see Uncle Huang again! ”

Huang Wan immediately turned around when he heard this, and tears couldn't help but burst out of his eyes. Even Wang Yun, who has always been as strong as iron, and the attendants around him couldn't help but burst into tears.

But now the DPRK supports Liu Cun's important ministers. Only Huang Wan, who was enlightened, and Yang Biao, the great Honglu who cared about the Han world, faced with the increasingly cruel reality and the crisis that the Han world was about to collapse, they finally understood Liu Cun's move to forcibly push away the Qingzhou New Deal regardless of his reputation, and saw Liu Cun's ambition to turn the tide and turn the tide in the Han Dynasty, but Yang Biao had been ill for nearly half a year, and the Shaozhuang faction that supported Liu Cun were all low-spoken middle and low-level officials, and they had no power to speak in the court.

Wang Yun on the side was sad and very embarrassed, he and Zhang Wen, who was transferred to Weiwei, were the leaders who fiercely criticized the Qingzhou New Deal against Liu Cun, he did not doubt Liu Cun's loyalty to the emperor, did not doubt Liu Cun's loyalty to the Han, and even understood that Liu Cun's actions were an unprecedented exploration to save the country and save the people, but they could never tolerate Liu Cun's restrictions on the privileges of the ruling class, let alone Liu Cun's continuous improvement of the social status and political participation rights of the untouchables.

Therefore, even if Wang Yun and the ministers in the same camp as him knew that Qingzhou was strong and strong, knew that Qingzhou's industries were thriving with each passing day, and knew that Liu Cun, who was a relative of the Han family, was loyal to the emperor, they would never bow their heads to Liu Cun!

They know very well that once they bow to Liu Cun, Liu Cun, who is powerful in the elite naval army, is likely to succeed, and the emperor and courtiers will inevitably give Liu Cun the highest reward, and Liu Cun will definitely take the opportunity to purge the courtiers and collect the power that has gradually fallen into the hands of the ministers and wealthy families in the court for a hundred years, and then vigorously cultivate their own forces, use the powerful army in their hands, and implement the "Qingzhou New Deal" in the entire Han world.

In this way, the wealthy families of the Han Dynasty will be in the dark, and they know that the power in their hands will also be lost, so compared to Wang Yun and them, Liu Cun is not much different from Dong Zhuo today.

But Liu Cun has done too well, he has been loyal to the royal family for six years, and has never stopped paying tribute rich and respectful year after year, and he is also the only one among all the imperial relatives in the world who abides by the courtesy of his courtiers, respects the young new emperor, and remembers the edict of the first emperor.

In the afternoon of the same day, the East County Governance Office, Puyang.

Cao Cao strolled on the edge of the muddy school field, the remnants of snow under his feet were trampled by him squeaked, and Cao Hong, who was burly in a big coat, followed closely, reporting the information he had just received as he walked:

"At noon on the sixth day of the first month, the Qingzhou tributary team left Luoyang under the escort of Li Ru, and it is estimated that it is about to arrive in Chang'an at this time, because Luoyang has become a Dong thief barracks, and the trade route is cut off, we can't find out the specific news, I don't know what the specific situation of Guoyuan and Liu Ye's stay in Luoyang is."

"Qingzhou's tributary team is not estimated to be in Chang'an soon, but must have arrived in Chang'an." Cao Cao reminded his cousin in an aggravated tone.

Cao Hong suddenly woke up: "Yes, yes! The foolish brother almost forgot the speed of the Langya army, and Li Ru personally escorted him, and the journey must be extremely fast. However, it's strange to say, why is Dong Zhuo so polite to Liu Zijian, there is nothing unsavory between them, right? ”

Cao Cao shook his head slightly: "With Liu Zijian's personality and strength, he disdains to be in the same stream as Dong Zhuo, and the group of henchmen under Liu Zijian's command are also famous people who are loyal to the Han family." ”

Thinking of the recent quiet changes in Qingzhou, Cao Cao stopped: "Also, Langya Academy, which has always been criticized by Dong Zhuo, has now formed a political force that cannot be ignored, and the "Langya Wenhui" printed and distributed by Langya Academy does not fully agree with the Qingzhou New Deal, and there is no shortage of articles in recent issues that have caught the shortcomings of Qingzhou's New Deal and criticized it, so even if Liu Cun wants to secretly collude with Dong Zhuo, he must take into account public opinion and the feelings of a large number of officials under his command. ”

"As for why Dong Zhuo is so polite to Liu Cun, I speculate that it is due to the overall situation today, there is no close contact between the two of them, but both sides have seen the general trend of the world clearly, so the things they have done seem to be very tacit, Liu Zijian needs time to promote the new policy in Qingzhou, and needs to provide food and land for the continuous influx of displaced people into Qingzhou, and there can be no chaos during the period. As for Dong Zhuo, he needs Liu Zijian to stay out of the matter and not join the coalition to oppose him, that's all. ”

"Liu Zijian is not afraid that the princes from all over the world will accuse him?" Cao Hong regretted it after speaking, and he smiled and stopped talking.

Cao Cao sighed: "It is Yuan Benchu who should be blamed, since the beginning of autumn, he secretly instructed Yuzhou Thorn Shi Kong Ling, Jibei Xiang Bao Xin, Jizhou Mu Hanfu and others to drive batches of disaster victims into Xuzhou and Qingzhou, it is clear what Juxin is!" ”

"There are also those ministers in the DPRK and China, who are still obsessed, I dare to assert that as long as Liu Zijian survives this difficulty, not only will he not be blamed by the people of the world, but he will also be praised by the people of the world!"

Cao Hong nodded silently, followed Cao Cao to stop, and walked along the way to the barracks: "Big brother, Yuan Benchu and they once again elected Youzhou Mu Liu Yu as the emperor, and the movement was very big, I don't know why, in the case of Liu Yu's repeated refusal, Yuan Benchu still didn't stop?" ”

Cao Cao snorted: "If you contact the news you received a few days ago and think about it, maybe you will understand." ”

Cao Hong thought about it again and again, walked out more than twenty steps and suddenly stopped, and looked at Cao Cao with a shocked face: "What does the eldest brother mean is that Yuan Benchu used such a means to force Dong Thief to appoint Liu Yu to rule the northern states through the courtiers' request, and then fish in troubled waters?" ”

Cao Cao gave his brother Cao Hong a punch in the chest with satisfaction: "Not bad! Grown, haha! ”
