"Report, Commander. In Yuan's mansion, except for the study, it has been completely controlled, and 342 maidservants have been taken, and two of them have not been found. Two hundred and thirteen servants, all taken. Of the three hundred and sixty-nine private soldiers, two hundred and ninety-eight were killed, and seventy-one were taken. ”

I don't know when, a small snowflake floated in the sky, and Zhu Ao and Tiger Angry Zhonglang will stand outside the study of the Yuan Mansion and listen to the report of Jin Yiwei.

Zhu Ao pointed to the study and said, "General, this Yuan Cheng and those two maidservants must be in this study, and I will attack at this time, and I can complete His Majesty's order." ”

Tiger Anger General Lang smiled and said, "Yes, although there is a small battle this time, but Yuan Cheng is openly the enemy of Jinyiwei and Tiger Anger, and his rebellion is already indefensible." ”

At this moment, a tiger angry hurriedly ran in and said, "Commander, general, more than a thousand private soldiers suddenly appeared outside Yuan's mansion to attack my Tiger Angry Guards, and my Tiger Angry Guards are few and are almost unbearable." ”

"Orders one, two teams to quickly go to support."

"No"

Zhu Ao asked with an ugly face, "Where did this private soldier of a thousand people come from?" ”

Jinyiwei is also an intelligence agency, and this time there was such a big loophole, which made Zhu Ao, who was the commander of Jinyiwei, feel ashamed.

Jinyi Wei on the side said, "The subordinates have found out that those private soldiers are all from Yuan's protégés, and most of them are officials with a rank of 600 stones. ”

Zhu Ao's face changed when he heard this, he knew that those officials with a rank of 600 stone had no more than a few dozen private soldiers in the palace, and this gathered thousands of people, how many officials from the DPRK and China should be involved!

So Zhu Ao hurriedly said: "Inform Your Majesty of this matter quickly." ”

"No"

Jin Yiwei hurriedly ran towards the palace, while Zhu Ao and Tiger Fury Zhonglang led their troops to fight with those private soldiers.

The Emperor's Bedchamber.

After Liu Hong learned of this, he asked suspiciously, "Only an official with a rank of 600 stones in the middle of the court?" Officials without a thousand stones? There are no Yuan brothers? ”

"Back to Your Majesty, there are no private soldiers of Qianshi officials mentioned by His Majesty, and Yuan Feng, Yuan Huai's private soldiers."

"That's weird, how can this be?" Liu Hong muttered.

Then he said to Li Hao, "Go and ask Wenhe to come over." ”

"No"

Li Hao thought as he walked, what is so powerful about this Jia Xu Jia Wenhe, who is only more than twenty years old, the emperor who had already gone to bed last night, when he heard that he was coming, he immediately got up. It was a night, and he was allowed to live in this palace, which was not available in the Han Dynasty after Wang Mang.

Originally, for Jia Xu, Liu Hong didn't know if he was an adult at this time, and he already had the same talent as in history.

But by chance, when Liu Hong saw the situation of the light cavalry general Jia Long, he actually found Jia Xu. Jia Lang's second son.

Liu Hong immediately ordered someone to go to Wuwei to investigate, and learned that Jia Xu was already filial piety, and he was also appreciated by the famous scholar Yan Zhong, saying that he had the wisdom of Zhang Liang and Chen Ping.

After learning of this, Liu Hong immediately ordered someone to bring Jia Xu to Beijing.

Finally, on the first day of November in the first year of Jianning, Jia Xu came to Beijing.

After a night of deep talks, Liu Hong finally determined that Jia Xu's talents, political and military talents are outstanding, especially for people and things.

This made Liu Hong immediately relieved, and Liu Hong also had his first strategist.

After a while, Jia Xu, who had just fallen asleep, came to Liu Hong's bedroom.

As soon as he stepped into the dormitory, Jia Xu knelt down and said, "Grass people, Jia Xu, please see Your Majesty." ”

Liu Hong stepped down from his seat, stretched out his hand to help Jia Xu up, and said, "Wenhe doesn't need to be polite, I have something important to discuss this time." ”

Jia Xu said respectfully: "Please make it clear to Your Majesty." ”

Liu Hong told Jia Xu everything about it.

Jia Xu thought for a while, and then said, "Your Majesty, isn't this matter in Your Majesty's calculations?" ”

"Oh? Wenhe, please be clear. ”

"Didn't Your Majesty already know that Shanlang was in the Yuan Mansion? That's why I ordered the Jinyi Guard to go, wasn't it just to take the money and food of the wealthy merchants for my own use? At this time, what Yuan Cheng did was a plan to not blame the public, and to draw salaries from the bottom of the kettle, and the officials with a rank of 600 stone in the middle of the court were the mainstay of the imperial court. ”

"If Your Majesty is calm, the court will be plunged into a brief period of chaos, because there will not be enough officials to take over the vacancy. If His Majesty withdraws at this time, it will damage His Majesty's prestige. ”

"Is there no way?" Liu Hong asked anxiously.

At this time, the Yuan family did not have the later four generations and three dukes, such as Zhongtian, but it was also the mainstay of the scholar clan.

Only then did Liu Hong urgently suppress the Yuan family.

Seeing Liu Hong's anxious look, Jia Xu smiled indifferently and said, "Your Majesty doesn't have to worry, although Yuan Cheng's plan is to draw salary from the bottom of the kettle, but he has forgotten the overall situation at this time, Your Majesty is open to Enke." Those candidates are the county officials of the division, the county officials, but what is the understanding of the original officials of the division? ”

This is Yuan Cheng's mistake, this official of the DPRK and China with a rank of 600 stones, selected from other states, has been a long time, and there is a fear of turmoil in the DPRK and China. However, if the division is subordinate to one place, the officials under Enke can make up for the officials with a rank of 600 stone in the middle of the court. ”

When Liu Hong heard this, he suddenly realized that there seemed to be nothing wonderful about it.

But in the midst of anxiety, how many people can come up with a seemingly simple solution to the problem?

So Liu Hong ordered, "Zuo Zhonglang will Yuan Cheng, openly rebel and resist the heavenly army." He was immediately beheaded, confiscated all his property, enriched the treasury, and exiled his family to Liangzhou. The rest of the rebel officials were also convicted. And ......"

Speaking of this, Liu Hong suddenly couldn't go on, Jia Xu saw that he knew Liu Hong's concerns, so he whispered, "Your Majesty, Nai Renjun, the so-called ignorant is not to blame." ”

Liu Hong glanced at Jia Xu appreciatively, and then said, "However, I have been on the throne for a short time, and it is not appropriate to kill and abuse too much, so those who do not know are not guilty, and only those who are in charge will be punished." ”

Jia Xu sighed in his heart when he heard this, "Your Majesty! This Yuan Chengcheng is looking at you, you don't dare to kill to the end! You have concerns, but you don't have any concerns. This time, he sacrificed himself, the head of the Yuan family, to do the same dispensable little official, so that the Yuan family would be peaceful for a few years after that, what a good calculation! Yuan Cheng, hehe, it's a pity that he didn't plan for His Majesty earlier, otherwise, he would definitely fight with you in Xia."

Although Jia Xu, who is only twenty-one years old, has unlimited talent, he is a teenager after all.

Liu Hong's corporal Lixian moved Jia Xu. The countless talents of the Han Dynasty made Jia Xu full of fighting spirit.

Glancing at Jia Xu, Liu Hong was very satisfied with Jia Xu, so he issued an order, "Set up a staff department, next to the Deyang Palace, and work in the Xide Palace, for my plan." The position is the same as Jiuqing, with a chief of staff and two thousand stones. Set up two staff officers, rank Qianshi. The staff officer ordered four people, with a rank of six hundred stones. There are a number of staff officers, and the rank is three hundred stones. ”

"Wuwei Jia Xu Jia Wenhe, outstanding talent, planning for me, moving the staff order."

"Thank you, Your Majesty, Long."

didn't give Jia Xu too high an official position, because he didn't want to give a bad impression to those Enke candidates.

And it can also block the mouths of the courtiers, after all, planning for the emperor is the responsibility of the original Shang Shuling, and now the cabinet and the council.

On November 2 of the first year of Jianning, Zuo Zhonglang made Yuan into the same group of officials with a rank of 600 stones, intending to rebel, and the head of the family was beheaded, his family members were exiled, and his family property was confiscated.

This was the first bloody large-scale change of officials in the imperial court after Liu Hong took office in the first year of Jianning.

The officials of the DPRK and China are even more at risk.
