Chapter 334: Zuo Feng reappears

Emperor Xian saw that the ministers made efforts to protect Guan Yu, but Liu Bei was the only one left there to be silent, this is his imperial uncle, his relatives and the most trusted person, Emperor Xian said to Liu Bei: "What do you think, uncle? ”

Liu Bei said: "I didn't guarantee the promotion because Yun Chang is my brother, and I am a relative of the Han family, if Your Majesty asks me if this matter is feasible, I think it is absolutely feasible, not who I stand there to speak, what I say is objective, Guan Yu is worthy of a great responsibility, and it is more beneficial for the society to take on the position of prime minister, he is by no means Dong Zhuo's person, but wants to do Huo Guangyiyin's things, so I think this matter is feasible, but the power is in Your Majesty!" ”

After Liu Bei finished speaking, Emperor Xian's heart suddenly brightened, as a person with a royal background and a member of the Han family, no one in the eyes of Emperor Xian could win him so trust, for this imperial uncle Liu Bei Xiandi is convinced, as long as he approves of the matter, it must be beneficial to the country and himself, at least he will not harm himself, since Liu Bei said that combined with what Guan Yu did before, Emperor Xian's hanging heart began to calm down, he continued: "Since everyone believes in General Guan so much, I am deeply touched by General Guan's dedication to the society for so long, and I think that General Guan will definitely live up to expectations and will definitely be able to take up this heavy burden and contribute to the society! ”

After hearing this, Guan Yu bowed his hand and said: "The minister is willing to do his best for the Jiangshan Society, and he will not give up even if he is full of liver and brains!" ”

When Emperor Xian heard this, he immediately ordered: "Quasi-play!" From now on, Guan Yu will be crowned as the prime minister, and the prime minister will be in government affairs! ”

After Emperor Xian finished speaking, Guan Yu bowed, and Guan Yu continued: "There is still one thing that needs to be decided by the saint!" ”

"Caring for Qing, please speak!" Emperor Xian said.

Guan Yu: "If the husband is good at his work, he must first sharpen his tools' The current government program is not in order, government decrees are not compatible, corruption has become a common practice, and there are many slackness in government affairs. It is a top priority, to do things must have a strong team, without this guarantee everything is impossible to talk about, and if the current government is not in the matter of reform, there is really a danger of people dying in the government, the outside must first be settled, only the internal foundation is firmly established to eliminate the Quartet. Therefore, it is imperative to streamline the administration of the elite army, based on this, I have drafted an appointment and asked His Majesty to look at it, these people are my carefully considered candidates, with this group of people, the revival of the Han family is just around the corner! After Guan Yu finished speaking, he immediately submitted the proposed appointment.

Emperor Xian took the fold presented by Guan Yu and began to read it, Emperor Xian read it carefully, and after reading, Emperor Xian asked Guan Yu: "Many of these people are very strange, but do you know Ai Qing?" ”

"Your Majesty, these people are the result of my repeated consideration and discussion and research with the ministers, and naturally the candidates among them have also been tested by me and are absolutely reliable. They are all talents, and put in the positions they are good at, truly realize the amount of talent, make the best use of their talents, let them give full play to their strengths in the right positions, and realize the specialization of talents, I think they will be able to give full play to their strengths to contribute to the national community, in order to reverse the current crisis! Guan Yu then recommended.

After hearing this, Emperor Xian said: "I don't have to worry about Aiqing's work. Since Aiqing has studied it carefully, then just do it. All passed! But care for you! What about Situ Huangwan, Taiwei Yang Biao, and Uncle Dong Cheng? ”

"These people can only make waves and hinder the reform, and they must not stay in the DPRK to serve, they colluded inside and outside the previous time and almost buried Luoyang, this crime is enough to sentence them to exterminate the nine clans, but these people are important ministers in the DPRK and have also contributed to the society, and some of them are even relatives of the emperor. Therefore, they will not be pursued, but in view of this, they and their family members must be deposed and reduced to commoners! Guan Yu continued.

Although Emperor Xian was a little reluctant when he heard this, because Dong Cheng was his uncle after all, his maternal uncle! But the matter has come to this point, Guan Yu has already opened up to him. It's just that the lords who deposed these people, although the emperor was embarrassed, he still agreed

The matter is not over here, Guan Yu then recommended: "Your Majesty wants to promote the reform to achieve great governance, and it is imperative to streamline the government, and the minister suggests that some people, especially some who do not seek politics in their positions, as well as some positions that can be set up or not, as well as a few idlers around His Majesty, etc., should be abolished and reduced, so as to reduce the financial burden!" ”

Guan Yu's suggestions are all bloody! It's all thorny questions, there are some things that he didn't advocate when Emperor Xian was young, he just turned a blind eye when he saw that no one in the court objected, and he didn't take it seriously, so he passed it ambiguously, but Guan Yu's third suggestion really made Emperor Xian a little embarrassed, reform or streamlining the government, it's not impossible for you to take down some courtiers, but even the people around me have to be masturbated, which can't help but go a little too far, after all, it's the people around me, how can you say that you can take it? If he was replaced, wouldn't his face be disgraced? This suggestion made Emperor Xian really a little dissatisfied, Emperor Xian frowned and said: "What Aiqing said is not unreasonable, some positions are indeed of little use, and some people are indeed idlers, and they can be cleared, but the people around me should not move, if even my people have to be replaced, won't I become a loner?" Besides, there are no idlers around me! ”

Guan Yu saw that Emperor Xian was reluctant to make it difficult, so he continued to persuade: "There are some people around Your Majesty who don't need to move, but the eunuchs can't stay, and they must be cleared!" ”

As soon as Guan Yu said this, the eunuchs around Emperor Xian were shocked into a cold sweat! Guan Yu is so domineering that he wants to move us, it's really hateful! At this time, the eunuchs on both sides suddenly knelt on the ground and begged for mercy: "Your Majesty, you want to be our master, we don't want to leave Your Majesty!" He cried as he spoke.

When Emperor Xian saw the eunuchs like this, he said: "Aiqing, I think this matter will end here!" If it's difficult, I'll take care of it! ”

"Your Majesty! This matter is not a simple matter of financial support, but involves a major event related to how to revive the country, for so many years, the imperial court has been sluggish, the eunuchs have become corrupt, the eunuchs have interfered in the government and caused the court to be corrupt and dark, if there is no way to talk about it except for reform, the revival of the Han dynasty has also become an empty word, and the pro-virtuous ministers are far from the villain, and the Han Dynasty is so prosperous; After the villain Yuan Xianchen, the Han Dynasty has fallen into decline, and His Majesty is still obsessed with it, wouldn't it be a waste of the great cause? Guan Yu continued to persuade. After Guan Yu finished speaking, he saw Liu Bei, Zhu Jun and other ministers come out one after another to express their approval. All of a sudden, the court was full of voices asking for help.

Emperor Xian saw that the ministers under the rank came out one after another to express their approval, and he was not surprised, this is the will of the people! The ministers are all in favor of reducing the eunuchs, which is an invisible pressure, and the current court is not as good as it used to be, and there were ten permanent servants in the past. It is ten great eunuchs, these people control the energy of the court, in the court can be said to call for wind and rain, and even cause chaos in the court, their strength is enough to compete with the general He Jin who holds the military power, He Jin died at the hands of these eunuchs, was killed by these eunuchs, at that time it was because he was not decisive enough, this is a painful lesson. Guan Yu always remembered that he had always hated eunuchs, thinking that these people were something, and if they didn't do bullshit all day long, they knew that they had slapped Ma Yang Fengyin and violated some tricks of the whole person, and also interfered in the government affairs, and even influenced the political situation, there are countless examples of this in history, Guan Yu is simply annoyed. These people can be said to have done all kinds of harm but not good, and now they are in power and the military is in power. Just take advantage of the opportunity of this reform to clean up these eunuchs, now the eunuchs around Emperor Xian are no longer what they used to be, and the power of the eunuch class has been greatly weakened after the ten permanent servants were eliminated, especially after Dong Zhuo entered Luoyang, the eunuchs basically lost their military power, but they still have a lot of connections in the court. There is still more or less power, and the right to speak is very limited, but it can still blow the wind in front of the emperor or something.

Guan Yu is no longer the He Yu of the previous time, and these eunuchs are not the ten permanent servants they used to be, they basically have no chance of winning against Guan Yu, but there is a big eunuch with great energy. Who? That is the court envoy Zuo Feng who once drank with Guan Yu in Nanyang and accepted bribes from Dong Zhuo mentioned earlier, this guy has been mixed in the officialdom for 20 years, and now he is a regular servant (Zheng Erpin), from Emperor Huan to Emperor Ling and then to Emperor Xian, three generations of kings, and now Zuo Feng has passed the age of not being confused, and his physical condition is getting worse, since Dong Zhuo took control of Luoyang, this Zuo Feng has also become smart, he closed the door in the name of recuperating his body, and hid a clean, and then he heard all kinds of things that happened in Luoyang, But he still chooses to keep a low profile, it's none of his business!

is getting older, Zuo Feng doesn't want to get involved in more complicated political struggles, but don't underestimate this Zuo Feng, although he doesn't show his face, but his connections and relationship network should not be underestimated, this Zuo Feng has three generations of kings, protΓ©gΓ©s and former officials are all over the court and localities, and many people are promoted by bribing him, Zuo Feng has installed a lot of his cronies in governments at all levels, of course, Zuo Feng has also gained a lot, so many years have not been less hugged, hugging the ditch is full of trenches, Zuo Feng himself hugged enough to grab the clean, However, his energy is still good, and many ministers of the DPRK and China have intersected with him. Even Dong Zhuo once gave him a gift, you think this guy is so good that it can be seen

Guan Yu aimed the signs at the eunuch party this time, although the eunuch party power at this time is not as good as before, but as the saying goes, the emaciated camel is bigger than the horse, the eunuch class has been in the court for so many years, after all, it has been in business for so many years, and the eunuch power reached its peak when the ten permanent servants were served, and then it was weakened, and now the representative of the eunuch party is the largest and most powerful eunuch belongs to Zuo Feng, this guy just shakes the entire court and has to shake it, and control a lot of personnel and affairs in the middle of the court, Guan Yu aimed the cannon directly at Zuo Feng's power group, but after all, the eunuch party is the person next to the emperor, as the saying goes, it depends on the owner to beat the dog, who dares to move! Don't say it, don't even dare to say a word more! However, Guan Yu does not eat this set, he is determined to reform, he is now selfless, fearless, fearless, and fearless, a soldier was born in half a lifetime, and now Guan Yu dares to be hard-boned, dares to wade into danger, and knows its difficulties without fear of difficulties, especially Guan Yu has a strong backing, that is, the military power is in his hands, so he dares to do what ordinary people dare not do, and he dares to touch people who ordinary people can't touch, and the more difficult and dangerous the more he must dare to show his sword.

Guan Yu proposed to cut the eunuchs, Emperor Han Xian suddenly had no idea, here are a few eunuchs around him begging bitterly, and the following is the ministers who are angry and forced the palace, Emperor Han Xian, a 12-year-old child, has no idea for a while in the face of such a situation, and does not know where to go, the whole scene is frozen there all of a sudden, but the ministers under the steps are shouting very loudly, and several eunuchs behind Emperor Xian are so frightened that their urine is going to flow out, and they keep choking there, and keep pulling the corners of Emperor Xian's clothes. Emperor Xian's eyes were wide, it was really difficult to make this decision, but at this moment, he saw a person under the court swaying from the bottom of the steps, and the ministers under the steps saw this and got out of the way, this person was obviously sick, maybe because of his age, and walked to the front of everyone panting with a cane. But seeing the hideous face of this life, the face was ruddy, slightly vicissitudes, the temples were white, and the corners of the mouth trembled, Guan Yu looked at it, it turned out to be Zuo Feng coming, Guan Yu couldn't help but be surprised, this face was familiar and unfamiliar. Although Zuo Feng is already old, Guan Yu can still be vaguely recognized, how did this old thing come, Guan Yu muttered in his heart.

Zuo Feng came to everyone tremblingly, and when he saw Zuo Feng's arrival, the ministers suddenly fell silent, and the steps suddenly became silent, Guan Yu looked at Zuo Feng without squeaking, his face was tense, and his posture did not drop at all because of Zuo Feng's appearance, but Zuo Feng looked at Guan Yu and greeted him warmly: "General Guan, don't come unharmed?" ”

Guan Yu looked at Zuo Feng and said, "Isn't this Lord Zuo?" Long time no see! ”

The two exchanged pleasantries. Zuo Feng then asked Emperor Xian: "Your Majesty! The old man was old, and he didn't want to participate in such a meeting, let alone participate in political affairs. But the wind is blowing a little hard today! The old man is restless at home! This is coming out for a walk, the old man is so polite! ”

Emperor Xian couldn't help but be shocked when he saw Zuo Feng coming: "Lord Zuo is exempt from courtesy!" ”

Several eunuchs around Emperor Xian saw Zuo Feng come to the court, and stood up with a "poof", and the previous panic suddenly became arrogant, and Emperor Xian shook his spirit and said: "Today's court meeting is here!" Let's all go back! Meeting! When the ministers heard the words of Emperor Xian, they were about to disperse

"Slow! Before the matter is decided, how can you give up halfway and just end it? Guan Yu immediately stopped.

When Emperor Xian saw Zuo Feng coming, he thought that this matter could be stopped and he could draw a sentence. But he didn't expect Guan Yu to still be unrelenting, and he couldn't help but be a little surprised, and said to the emperor: "This matter is very important, so it's better to discuss it another day!" ”

"Your Majesty can't delay it any longer because of the importance of this matter, and the ministers present today must settle this matter, otherwise it will be a trouble in the future!" Guan Yu looked at Zuo Feng as he spoke.

After Zuo Feng heard this, he glanced at Guan Yu with his eyes, and his face showed disdain and contempt. Even a little proud, Emperor Xian saw Guan Yu stubborn, refused to retreat very helpless, the meeting was already very embarrassing to this point, because Zuo Feng appeared so simply, the entire court except Guan Yu was not forgiving, the rest of the ministers were silent, this meeting became a separate game between Guan Yu and Zuo Feng, and Emperor Han Xian was still reluctant to be caught in it, one wanted to solve the matter, the other stood on the court and was proud, Emperor Xian was sitting on the dragon seat like a pin. On the one hand, he is a powerful faction with heavy troops, and on the other hand, he is a close minister at the veteran level, and it is not appropriate to offend anyone to let go of the Buddha, but Guan Yu is young and vigorous and insists on this matter, and he has no intention of letting go at all, let alone retreating, how can this be good!

Originally, the ministers were going to leave, but because Guan Yu insisted that everyone had to give up and continue to stay in place, but at this time, there was no sound in the court, and everyone unanimously chose to be silent, Guan Yu saw this and did not scruple about this, he continued to insist on his own ideas, Liu Bei saw that Guan Yu insisted that as the eldest brother, he could no longer be at ease, and also came out and said: "What Yun Chang said makes sense, if you don't clear the obstacles to reform, then how can the revival of the Han family be realized?" After Liu Bei finished speaking, the generals Wen Ping and Xu Huang from Guan Yu's camp also came out to express their support, and Ma Teng, Ma Chao, and Pang De came out to cheer Guan Yu up, Zuo Feng originally had to have an opinion, so many people came at once and asked: "I said what kind of dish are you!" Is there a place for you to speak? When Lao Tzu ate salt, you didn't know where it was cool? It's also made you beautiful, the tiger doesn't threaten you, I'm a sick cat? Yes? ”

As soon as Zuo Feng said this, everyone went back, and then Guan Yu said: "Zuo Feng! Who do you think you are? You're just a eunuch, a guy who has lost his function as a man, what's so spiritful? What do you say you've done over the years? If others don't know me, you keep saying that there have been three generations of kings, but what have you done for such a long time? In addition to accepting bribes, you are collecting money everywhere, or you are eating and taking cards, and you can't give less, you have made the court miserable for so many years, tell me how many people you have pitted? How many benefits have you eaten? A guy like you, who has done all kinds of harm to the society and has no benefit, still dares to be so arrogant above the court? Let me tell you that your era is gone forever, evil does not prevail over good, and the current court can't judge people like you to be rampant! ”

"Guan Yu, you! You! Hello so bold! How dare you do this to me! Zuo Feng said and pointed at Guan Yu's eyes were straight, his face became iron-blue, the previous arrogance suddenly turned into seven tricks, for so many years, no one has dared to talk to himself like this, even the emperor has never dared to count himself in public, there are ministers above the son of heaven, and he is a veteran who assists three generations of kings who has been criticized for his blood, Zuo Feng is simply self-ashamed, he can't wait to find a crack in the ground to get into, he pointed at Guan Yu with his finger: "Guan Yu!" You are really wolf-hearted, you drank with the old man back then, what were you at that time, and now you have become a sperm, and your wings are stiff and you start to rebel against the sky, you shameless person!
