Chapter 2: The Change of the Imperial Council
"Wang Da, you stay in the store and tell our people to prepare to leave Xudu!"
"Shopkeeper?"
"Things have changed, I want to go to the palace!" The old horse put down the account book in his hand and immediately left the forage shop.
"Your Majesty, please judge!" Kong Rong transferred all the officials to the alternates of the Taixue students, and after the appointment was reported, he arched his hand and asked Liu Xie.
"Hmm!" Liu Xie nodded, Liu Xie had been listening carefully to Kong Rong's report just now, this was the first time since Liu Xie became the emperor that he had listened to the report of his subordinates so seriously, because this time it was Liu Xie himself who was in charge!
"Dr. Kong is really a pillar of my Han Dynasty, the content of the official evaluation is complicated, involving a lot of officials and students, I don't want Dr. Kong to finish it so quickly, it is worthy of being the first teacher of Confucius." Liu Xie nodded with satisfaction, the transfer and appointment just now, his henchmen were assigned to his reasonable positions.
"Xun Taishou, what do you suggest?" Liu Xie glanced at Xun Yu, and at this time Xun Yu's statement was needed.
"Your Majesty has no objections, Dr. Kong has done a good job!" Xun Yu replied respectfully to Liu Xie.
"What else do you have suggestions?" Liu Xie smiled and looked at everyone proudly. Very good! Without saying a word, this is the effect that Liu Xie wants, for the first time, for the first time, Liu Xie feels that he is an emperor!
"Your Majesty!" Suddenly, a little eunuch hurriedly ran in, his face was pale, panicked, and he also ran into several Taixue students.
"What a rude eunuch!" One of the students slapped his cuff as if the eunuch had defiled him.
Yixin was stunned for a moment, could something have happened?
"Presumptuous! Who dares to be presumptuous in the court. Come. Hold him down! Liu Xie was furious. Someone actually came to make trouble?
"Your Majesty, forgive your sins, great army, there is a great army coming here." The little eunuch was so frightened that he quickly knelt down and replied to Liu Xie.
"The army? What army? Liu Xie was stunned for a moment, where did the army come from in Xudu City? Xiahoudun, who was originally stationed in Xudu, had already gone to the province of Qianjun according to Kong Rong's strategy, who could mobilize the army outside Xudu?
"Who dares to be presumptuous? How dare you lead troops straight into the main hall? Kong Rong was still sober, and immediately scolded the little eunuch.
"Chen Lu Rui has seen Your Majesty, long live Your Majesty, long live Long live!" Lu Rui's voice came from outside the main hall. Resounding throughout the hall.
Lu Rui came to the top of the main hall with Dian Wei in a military uniform, and saw that Liu Xie just made a standing salute.
"Please forgive your majesty, you are in good armor, and you can't give your majesty a full salute." Lu Rui glanced at Liu Xie lightly and arched his hand.
"General Lu Lu? Didn't General Lu conquer the traitors Han Sui and Ma Teng in Xiliang? When Liu Xie saw Lu Rui, his heart was half cold, and he pretended to ask Lu Rui calmly.
"Back to Your Majesty, Your Majesty was ordered by Lord Sikong to return to Xudu to visit relatives, but Your Majesty intercepted the secret report. Someone tried to disturb the court, and the ministers came to purge the rebels. ”
"Presumptuous! Lu Rui. What is your identity that you dare to return to Your Majesty like this? Still taking someone to trespass on the forbidden palace? Lu Rui, don't forget, the right to enter the palace at any time granted by the first emperor has been withdrawn by His Majesty, and you have entered the palace without being summoned, and you have led troops to hold the ministers hostage, do you know that it is a capital crime? Without waiting for Liu Xie to reply, Kong Rong preemptively attacked Lu Rui. Lu Rui sneered in his heart, Kong Rong is really a second goods, he has a heavy army, Kong Rong actually dares to say this. It seems that Kong Rong still has a bit of the temperament of a literati who is not afraid of death, but temperament cannot be used as a knife!
"Evil?"
"Yes!" Dian Wei lifted the yellow cloth in his hand, and then everyone found that Dian Wei was holding something in his hand, and after a closer look, it was actually Jieyue, the velvet that Liu Xie gave to Cao Cao!
"Please forgive your majesty for the sins of the minister, the minister is ordered by Lord Sikong to clean up the traitors for the court, if the minister has anything wrong, please forgive your majesty."
"Back to Your Majesty, Your Majesty thinks that General Lu is loyal to the country and does his best for the court, please forgive your Majesty for the crime of trespassing on the palace!" Seeing that the time was ripe, Man Zhong arched his hand and was the first to stand up.
"The ministers seconded the proposal, please understand General Lu's heart!" When most of the courtiers saw the sudden change in the situation, they immediately stood up to support Manzhong, and saving their lives was the most important thing!
"You guys?" Kong Rong was stunned for a moment, he didn't expect the situation to become so fast, the courtiers who had supported him just now were now supporting Lu Rui in turn.
"General Lu is loyal to the country, I won't pursue such a trivial matter!" Seeing that the situation was irreversible, Liu Xie had no choice but to follow the words of the ministers and "forgive" Lu Rui.
"Thank you, Your Majesty!"
"Your Majesty, the minister found that Dr. Kong Rong was privately awarded and accepted in the official evaluation, and sold his official beard, which damaged my court system, please punish Your Majesty!" Lu Rui saw that Liu Xie was soft, and he was not verbose, and went straight to the point.
"Bastard, Lu Rui, you dare to slander me?"
"General Lu? Is there some misunderstanding in this matter? After Dr. Kong is a saint, I'm afraid not? ”
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty already has a witness."
"Come on, bring them all!"
"No!" Soon the soldiers dragged up three dying men in prison clothes, and two others were unscathed, but the ministers knew them, and they were Kong Rong's protégés.
"Lu Rui, you actually tortured to extract a confession?" Seeing the five people who were brought to the main hall by the soldiers, Kong Rong pointed at Lu Rui with his finger with an angry face.
"Master Kong, torture to extract confessions? Don't wronged me, General Ben rescued three people from the sea of suffering, and these three people were all found in the mansion of Master Kong. Lu Rui smiled and looked at Kong Rong's two students.
"Your Majesty, what General Lu said is true, these three people were imprisoned in the mansion by Kong Rong because they were unwilling to join Kong Rong, although the two of us are Kong Rong's students, but they are also loyal ministers of the Han Dynasty."
Two of Kong Rong's students knelt in front of Liu Xie and accused Liu Xie of all his crimes. Of course, these crimes were all pre-arranged by Manpet.
"Your Majesty Shengming, this is Lu Rui's crime of framing Rong, please Your Majesty investigate!" Kong Rong immediately knelt down, prostrate in front of Liu Xie, and begged Liu Xie to make his own decisions.
"This?" If it was in the past, Liu Xie would definitely immediately reprimand Lu Rui and make decisions for Kong Rong, but now Liu Xie has gone through several years of experience and is no longer the political idiot he was at the beginning.
Liu Xie knows that politics is a balance of rules, and every move Lu Rui makes now is reasonable, if he refutes it in public, he may fall into Lu Rui's trap.
"Your Majesty, the minister has a suggestion for Your Majesty's reference." Xun Yu saw that Liu Xie was speechless on the dragon chair, and immediately stood up to relieve Liu Xie. Alas! Lu Rui sighed in his heart, Mr. Xun, you still made a move! (To be continued......)
