In the first month of the third year of Zhongping, when the people of Bingzhou began to participate in the annual assembly in a lively manner, their faces were full of joy of harvest and satisfaction; what they did not know was that the Zhenbei General's Mansion not only shielded them from the invasion from all directions, but also refused all kinds of taxes and levies from the imperial court for them. Since Zhao Xing was appointed as the assassin of the state, he has not handed over a copper plate or a stone of grain to the imperial court!

In the past, when Zhao Xing's power was weak, he had to send Liu Jili and Li Jinsi every year to Luoyang City to give gifts to all forces. After he took control of the state, he directly canceled this practice of cutting R-u and feeding the wolves. The imperial court also sent people to Jizhou to hint at Zhao Xing a few years ago, to the effect that now the road from Bingzhou to Luoyang is unblocked, and there is no yellow scarf along the road to make 1u-n, and it is time to make up for the taxes owed to the imperial court.

"Fake Zhao Xing" replied very simply: Bingzhou has no money or food, only a large number of 1u-n people who can rebel! Bingzhou helped the imperial court block the invasion of the Xianbei people, helped the imperial court attack the Yellow Turban demon in Jizhou, and helped the imperial court quell the rebellion of the Xiliangqiang people 1u-n, these are all for Hua money, but the imperial court has not even given a stone of grain to Bingzhou, not a single horse has been distributed to Bingzhou, and not a single weapon and armor have supported Bingzhou, why ask Bingzhou for money and food!

The stammering envoy of the court who was questioned returned to Luoyang in a disgraced manner, and scolded Zhao Xing as a national thief who sat on the ground and claimed to be the king.

Sikong Zhang Wen has always been the vanguard of "eliminating Zhao", and he shouted loudly in the court: "If this thief is allowed to sit big, the Han will be in danger! The minister wept and knelt down to ask the court to send an army, cut off Zhao Xing's minions, and arrest the rebellious Zhao Xing who had no king, and come to Luoyang to be punished!"

Taifu Yuan Kui then echoed: "Zhao Xing stole and annexed the state, did not pay tribute, changed the ancestral system, appointed officials in vain, raised tens of millions of soldiers and horses, and the heart of not being subordinate was clearly revealed, if he was allowed to annex the northern territory of the Han Dynasty, who would be the enemy in the future?"

The prince of the Linzhao Dynasty was shocked when he heard this, so he turned his gaze to Lu Zhi and the others.

"The minister thinks that the reason why there is a strong place like Zhao Xing today is that the root cause is in the imperial court!" Lu Zhi stood up and spoke, and he was startled as soon as he opened his mouth.

Without waiting for everyone to come back to their senses, Lu Zhi continued: "There are many factions within the imperial court, the big families only know how to sell their fame and reputation, their relatives and eunuchs compete with each other for power and profit, and the officials in various places are full of money, and the dignified son of heaven is like a merchant in the market, busy selling official beards! The people of the world live in dire straits, but no one mentions it above the court, and the reason why the demon Zhang Jiao ascends to the heights and shouts, and the reason why the followers obey is not the people but the court! To this day, if the Han Dynasty does not think about eliminating the evils and implementing the new policy, there will be more than one Zhao Xing in the world!"

Lu Zhi's words were loud and clear, and every word was like a knife, scolding everyone in the court, including Emperor Han Ling, who was hiding in Chang'an to enjoy himself, and the scolding was incomplete.

The bigwigs in the DPRK and China were scolded for no reason, and they were naturally unwilling, especially Lu Zhi was scolded by the emperor together, so he immediately turned to attack Lu Zhi.

"Bold Lu Zigan, openly insulting the monarch in the court, the minister implores him to be dismissed from the official and sent to prison!" Zhang Wen yelled with red eyes.

He Jin, He Miao, Yuan Kui and others, who were scolded, asked to arrest Lu Zhi on the spot, but Huangfu Song and Zhu Jun, who had heavy troops behind Lu Zhi, said nothing and looked at everyone coldly. Zhao Xing's good father-in-law, Wang Yun, was also expressionless, and he was closing his eyes from the beginning, as if everyone's fight had nothing to do with him.

When the crown prince Liu Bian looked at this posture, the court was obviously divided into three groups, one group was the "Zhao faction", the other group was the "reform faction", and the other group was the "wall-riding faction". Although the rhetoric of the "except the Zhao faction" is suspected of being exaggerated, it is not unfounded; the opinions of the "reformists" are very sharp, but they are aimed at the key points and hit the nail on the head of the decay of the Han Dynasty; the "wall-riding faction" does not say a word, and it can be said that these people are only loyal to the imperial family and do not express their position easily, or it can be said that these people have other ideas in their hearts and have not expressed them for the time being.

There is no way, now that the two gangs are facing each other, the prince Liu Bian has no choice but to come out and make peace with the mud.

"Don't quarrel endlessly, you are loyal to the monarch and the country, and I see it in my eyes. What he said is not unreasonable. Zhao Xing's heart has appeared, and he cannot be allowed to sit big, but the imperial court is now injured by the Yellow Turban Disaster 1u-n, and he is unable to crusade, but it is an indisputable fact; I don't know if you have any other opinions?" Liu Yan took a moment to calm the anger of the two gangs and kicked the ball back again.

Seeing that no one answered, Zongzheng Liu Yan stood up and said loudly: "Assassinate Shi Taishou, bribe the officials, cut off the people, and cause rebellion." You can choose to clear the name of the important minister, think that the shepherd, the town of Fangxia. ”

The translated meaning of Liu Yan's sentence is: The assassination history of the states and the Taishou of the counties were all through bribery from top to bottom, left and right, and corruption and exploitation of the people as officials, which led to the fact that the people and the court could not be of one heart and one mind, and even rebelled one after another. The imperial court should choose honest and honest ministers as state pastors, manage the land of each state, and guard the eight directions of China as the imperial court. Historically, because of Liu Yan's suggestion, the Eastern Han Dynasty court combined the history of the state and the state pastor into one, so that the state pastor had absolute power and strength in the local area, and finally intensified the division of the princes, and the Han Dynasty fell apart.

When Yuan Kui, He Jin and others, who only knew how to compete for power and profit, heard Liu Yan's words, they felt that they could take advantage of this to cultivate their own forces, so they all agreed. Although Lu Zhi and the others felt that something was wrong, they couldn't make any sense, and if they appointed the state minister, they would now get more power as the assassins of the states, so they didn't say anything against it.

Seeing that everyone had reached a rare consensus, the crown prince Liu immediately ordered someone to draft the court article Chen, and sent it to Chang'an quickly, just waiting for his ho;n egg Lao Tzu to nod, and in the future, he would combine the state pastors and the assassin history into one, and appoint the big man to go to the town to guard.

Wang Yun, who has always liked to play Yangmou, saw that everyone began to calculate what kind of benefits they could get, so he stood up and said: "The monarchs just gritted their teeth at Zhao Xing of Bingzhou, once it was mentioned that they could appoint big men to garrison the Quartet, why was there no follow-up?" Wang Yun meant: You dogs, you dogs, just shouted to calculate my nv son-in-law, as soon as you heard about the appointment of the state pastor, you just forgot the original thing like the dog who saw the r-u dog's head!

The sharp-toothed Zhang Wen immediately retorted: "Could it be that Wang Situ has any good plan to get rid of your nv son-in-law who sits on the ground and is the king?"

Wang Yun didn't bother with fellow countryman Zhang Wen, but said loudly to everyone: "Last time, you y-made the plan to drive the tiger and devour the wolf, and consumed the strength of the state, but now it seems that this plan has failed, Zhao Xing and Chen Bing Jizhou, but it has become a big and difficult situation to fall! I think it is not good, just because the wolf is too weak to resist the bite of Zhao Xing, the evil tiger!" Wang Yun spoke wiser than Lu Zhi, and did not accuse everyone of the "driving the tiger and devouring the wolf" that everyone came up with last time, and letting Zhao Xing beat the yellow scarf is a joke, which can be regarded as saving face for everyone.

Seeing that there was no objection from everyone, Wang Yun continued: "If Zhao Xing is torn apart with a few hungry wolves in the west of Bingzhou, it will be difficult to distinguish the winner for a while and a half, and the imperial court will take this opportunity to d-ng clear the remnants of the Yellow Turbans in various places, and appoint the officials of Qingming to shepherd and guard the Quartet, so that the people can recuperate and recuperate, and they can also accumulate strength, and when the time is ripe, they can send troops in multiple ways to pacify and merge the state in one fell swoop!"

After listening to Wang Yun's suggestion, everyone thought carefully for a long time and felt that this plan was feasible. Including Lu Zhi, they all thought that Wang Yun's strategy of delaying the army was just right, and the idea of letting Zhao Xing fight with several forces in Liangzhou was even more feasible. So everyone turned their heads to stare at Wang Yun, thinking in their hearts: Is this old guy really Zhao Xing's father-in-law? Such a ruthless and vicious strategy can actually be thought of, and the whole person is more ruthless than the whole outsider!
