Chapter 99: The Self-Defending Thief

After meeting the emperor, Zhang Ji angrily found Yuan Yi who was still looking for someone in the city.

"Old thing, I think you really want to die, you did it on purpose, didn't you?" Zhang Ji scolded angrily.

Yuan was in pain in his body, wronged in his heart, and shouted in pain, "General, I really have done my best to find it." Don't dare to slack off in the slightest. It's really that King Liang is too able to hide, and to the point where he may be hiding in this city, he has almost dug three feet into the ground to find it, but he really hasn't found anyone. ”

"Besides, the life of the lowly position is in the hands of the general at this moment, how dare the lowly position deliberately fool him? Compared with his own life, King Liang is nothing at all! ”

Zhang Ji, who was still angry, kicked Yuan Yi twice more and threatened: "You'd better be honest with me, Your Majesty said that there may be a secret passage in the city, find it for me." It should have been something you thought of, but now it was brought up by His Majesty, and the labor and management who harmed him lost face. ”

"When it dawns tomorrow, if you can't find a reason, the labor and management will hang you on the city wall to dry!"

When Yuan Yi heard that the emperor had come to Shan Father City in person, he was even more bitter in his heart.

His little life is really not an ordinary suspense now.

How did the emperor come quietly!

Where do you dare to talk nonsense, Yuan Yi responded again and again, and with Zhang Ji's personal soldiers, he continued to pick up the lights to find people.

Man and secret way, he must find it this evening.

……

Liu Wei was lying on the dimly lit soft couch, and after listening to Zhao Ye's report, he finally had a smile on his face.

"Duan Xuan and Zhang Ji seem to have indeed changed their minds, and tomorrow they will be rewarded for their meritorious deeds, and let Xun Yu give the soldiers of the Xiliang Army an extra month's military salary." As soon as Liu Wei was in a good mood, he sent money directly.

Although Gyeonggi has eaten its entire grain supply, it still has abundant reserves of gold and silver coins.

Along the way, he also took the opportunity to make a small fortune of hundreds of millions.

An extra month's salary for thousands of troops is only an inconspicuous fraction.

"Yui!" Zhao Ye responded and persuaded, "Your Majesty, it's not too early, you should also go to bed." ”

Liu Wei nodded, but he had been planning to sleep for a long time, but he didn't feel the slightest sleepiness.

It had been some time since he left the palace, and in this unfamiliar environment, he couldn't help but think of Tang Ji and Aunt Qiong.

I don't know how they are doing during this time?

In that deep palace, Empress Dowager He is like a nightmare that can't be avoided and can't be avoided.

The talisman of Liu Bian's biological mother is really a bit strong, so that even Liu Bian, who should change his identity, does not dare to act rashly.

"The people sent to the palace haven't come back yet?" Liu Wei asked in a whisper.

Zhao Ye, who had just taken a nap, immediately sobered up and replied: "Back to Your Majesty, it was only sent out yesterday, and it will take four days to come and go, to say the least." ”

"I'm in a hurry, go to sleep." Liu Wei rolled over and forced himself to sleep.

"Yui!"

Following.

Liu Wei was woken up by the sound of rapid rain, he looked up at the newly brightened sky outside the window, and couldn't help but feel a trace of worry in his heart, the recent heavy rain was a little too frequent.

"Change clothes, Zhao Xun Yu, Xun Yu." The more Liu Wei thought about it, the more worried he became, he couldn't sleep anymore, got up and went straight to the ground.

Zhao Ye stepped forward with two palace ladies and quickly changed clothes for Liu Wei and cleaned up.

After cleaning up, Xun's uncle and nephew were already waiting outside the door.

Liu Wei drank the warm water that had been prepared long ago while meeting the two of them.

It's a habit he's been in for a long time, and he's always got a glass of warm water every morning.

"Today's heavy rain will inevitably cause water in various rivers, and there will be disasters reported in various places?" Liu Wei asked.

Xun You said: "Your Majesty, not for the time being. Some of the recitals should have been disposed of by Taiwei and Situ, so they were not delivered. ”

"Send someone to verify, and also send orders to various county orders and tuntian lieutenants to take strict precautions and strengthen the river embankment at any time, just in case. In addition, all localities should make preparations for flood prevention as soon as possible, establish places for the evacuation of disaster victims at high points, and prepare sufficient food and drinking water. Liu Wei commanded.

Since he left Chenliu, this is the first time I don't know how many rains I don't know.

And it was raining heavily.

The water level is rising, it's almost a sure thing.

"Yui!"

Xun Yu said, "Zhutun Tian Weichen has already ordered people to raise water disasters at any time, and the camp is mostly on the high ground, avoiding low-lying and gentle places. ”

Liu Wei was slightly convinced that this was the benefit of solid preparation for early work.

It was a very wise thing for him to choose Xun Yu to organize Tuntian.

"Your Majesty, does this matter need to be sent to the east?" Xun You asked.

Liu Wei sneered, "I have the people in the east in mind, but what can I do if I miss it again?" You two have also seen Yuan Shao's recital, and he accused me of still thinking about looting the people's fat and ointment at this time on the grounds of natural disasters and wars. If I make such a will, guess what will happen to them? ”

What will such a decree become before the eyes of the people? If my guess is correct, I am afraid that it will turn into an increase in taxes under the pretext of disaster relief. ”

Xun's uncle and nephew couldn't help but be silent when they heard this.

They had no doubt about the possibility of such a statement, and even that the development of events would be even more outrageous than what the Emperor had said.

With the help of people with hearts, the emperor in the eyes of the people is now a tyrannical and unkind king who only cares about his own selfish interests, does not care about the life and death of the people in the world.

When they didn't have a chance, they were trying their best to suppress the majesty of the imperial court.

With such an opportunity, it is not necessarily what they say.

Speaking of this, Liu Wei was full of fire.

When he ordered the Kwantung princes to pay for grain, he thought of the worst possible scenario.

But he never expected that he would be insulted!

Yuan Shao should have become a hero of the princes by now.

Standing in the position of the people of the world, he strongly criticized the emperor's unkind and unrighteous behavior, and he was lofty when he listened.

It was this recital that made Liu Wei realize that the situation between Kwantung and him, the emperor, was now on the same footing.

There's no room for maneuvering.

The princes of the Kwantung region led the people to fight against him, an unkind and unrighteous king.

If they win, it's going to be another story.

It should be more popular than the Eighteen Towns Princes Alliance.

Xun You saw that the emperor's face was not very good-looking, and said: "The minister asks Your Majesty to spread the word to the world, and reprimands Yuan Shaozhi for not being a minister, so as to prove that Your Majesty is clear." ”

"Do you think it would work?" Liu Wei asked rhetorically.

Xun You was dumbfounded.

He knew it would have little effect.

But you can't just watch them smear all the time and be indifferent, right?

Ignoring it will only make those rebellious ministers and thieves more unscrupulous.

"Your Majesty, but the court should always do something." Xun You persuaded.

Liu Wei's deep eyes exuded a cold light, and the corners of his lips hooked a cold smile, and said, "I, isn't this what I'm doing?" If they don't think their lives are long, they can do it one after another. ”

"There are people who believe in me behind me, and courtiers in front of me, why should I be afraid?"

Liu Wei suddenly exuded a strong kingly aura, so that Xun You and Xun Yu did not dare to look directly, and lowered their heads one after another.

Liu Wei said slowly: "There are some things that I shouldn't say as an emperor, but most of the people of my Han are indeed ignorant. Under the torment of war, wherever the wind blows, they go. ”

"They are now like sheep driven by the Xianbei people's war horses, and they are being driven and used by the princes of the world."

"But I need to tell them that they're too soon to rejoice!"

"For the people, there is an eternal truth, whoever can give them food and clothing, who can give them real peace and contentment, is the real son of destiny."

"Rumors stop at the wise, break with strength!"

"Let them talk as much as they want, shout, I will be their scream before they die!"

Xun You and Xun Yu were shocked by the emperor's words.

Outside, the rain was like weaving, and the sky was thundering.

And the emperor sitting at the top at this moment, in the eyes of the two of them, also seems to have a heavenly constitution in his mouth.

Every word, thunder rolls!

……

Chen Lin braved the heavy rain to enter the single father city.

The muddy road made each of them lose all their demeanor.

From a distance, it looks like mud figures rolling out of the mud.

After entering the city smoothly, a few people simply bathed and cleaned up, and hurried to meet the emperor.

"The minister knocks to see His Majesty the Emperor, my emperor for ten thousand years!"

"Zhuqing, get up." Liu Wei said, "You have come from afar, and you should go and rest first, and then discuss everything in the evening." ”

Liu Wei has always been a considerate boss of his courtiers, even if the matter is urgent, he is not in a hurry at this moment.

"Thank you for Your Majesty's gift, but the minister should talk about Jingzhou first, if you don't say it immediately, the minister's heart will be panicked." Chen Lin said in a deep voice with anger on his face.

"Then let's talk about it, but Liu Biao is embarrassed for you?" Liu Wei asked.

Chen Lin bowed his head again, "Your Majesty, the ministers...... I almost couldn't get out of Jingzhou. ”

"Tell me carefully!" Liu Wei sat up straight suddenly, and his voice was as deep as thunder.

In his heart, Liu Biao was barely a positive role in the early stage of Jingzhou.

Although after he stabilized his power, he strongly expressed his intention to divide the land and self-government.

But that was after that.

Chen Lin hid her stomach full of grievances, and when she saw the emperor, she couldn't hold back it anymore, and shouted sadly: "Your Majesty, Liu Jingzhou wants to rebel!" ”

"After the ministers arrived in Jingzhou, Liu Biao entertained us very warmly, feasting every day and singing every night."

"But the ministers mentioned that they sent troops to the north to help the court get rid of thieves, but they were always vague and avoided talking about it."

"Until the ministers received His Majesty's edict to prepare to return, he still had the same attitude."

At the banquet before leaving, he even arranged a knife and axe hand during the banquet, although he did not do it, but Liu Jingzhou had already moved to kill us. The minister was ashamed to believe in His Majesty, not only failed to complete the lobbying thing, but also lost the talisman, the minister had nothing else to ask for, but to die to thank the gentleman. ”

Chen Lin finished what he wanted to say in one breath and slammed his head on the ground.

"What's going on with the runes?" Liu Wei asked.

Chen Lin put his head on the ground and cried: "The minister is incompetent, and Fujie was forcibly taken away by Mrs. Cai, Liu Biao's wife." And Liu Biao deliberately sold stupidity when he knew about it, pretending not to know, and did not return it. ”

After Liu Wei pondered for a while, he suddenly smiled, "Zhuqing, get up, you wait for this trip, it is indeed in vain." ”

"Reading on the fact that you tried out Liu Biao's true face for me, there is no guilt and no merit, so as to see the after-effects."

"But, as the envoy of the Son of Heaven, did you lose my face when you met with the local courtiers?!"

Ma Riyan and the others, who were worried in their hearts, just breathed a sigh of relief, and when they heard Emperor Du's words, their little hearts instantly rose again.

"The minister only wishes to die!" Chen Lin shouted in a sad tone.

He asked himself that this errand had been done in an extremely bad way, and that if he hadn't rushed back to report it to the emperor in detail.

He had already been in front of Liu Biao for a long time, and he killed himself with a sword.

Under the eaves of others, he asked himself if he couldn't help Liu Biao, but killing himself, Chen Lin could do it.

Liu Wei looked at Ma Riyan and Wang Yun, "Don't you have anything to say?" ”

"The rebellious ministers deceive the king, and the ministers ask themselves not to die. But if His Majesty insists on asking the ministers to apologize for their sins with death, the ministers can die, and the king wants the ministers to die, and the ministers have to die. Wang Yun kowtowed and said.

"You're pretty tough when you face me!" Liu Bian's tone grew cold.

For Wang Yun, a pretentious and extremely stubborn old thing, the more he looks at it now, the more unpleasant it becomes.

But what Wang Yun said was right, based on this matter alone, Liu Wei really couldn't kill anyone.

"In front of Your Majesty, the minister only has this bit of backbone left in his body, and he doesn't dare to be tough." Wang Yun said neither humbly nor arrogantly, "The ministers are the messengers of the Son of Heaven, and they have indeed lost the majesty of Your Majesty. But Jingzhou is under the rule of Liu Biao, and the minister is the messenger, not the general who leads the army, so he can only speak with him with good voices. ”

"The minister always remembered that the minister's trip to Jingzhou was to persuade Liu Biao to send troops north, not to surrender Liu Biao."

Liu Wei stared at Wang Yun for a moment, and suddenly smiled, "Get up, this matter is like this." ”

Xun You peeked at the emperor with some surprise.

The emperor took the matter so lightly.

That's not right......

The emperor's attitude also made Wang Yun a monk who was a second monk.

He is also ready to fight for a clear name in the world before he dies.

As a result, it ended like this?

"Liu Biao's deception of the monarch is already conclusive, and he is an out-and-out self-defending thief. I want to take Lu Bu as the general and lead the army to Beitun Xinye, one is to deter, and the other is to wait for the opportunity to move. Liu Wei said, "What do you think? ”

Lu Bu is a person, Liu Wei wants to reuse it very much.

But this person jumped out so badly, he really didn't dare to use it.

Reuse, that's a ticking time bomb!

Placing this time bomb on Liu Biao's head, Liu Wei felt that it might be a good thing.

All the ministers were stunned.

Liu Biao only showed his disobedience to the imperial court, and the emperor was about to beat him if he disagreed......

"Your Majesty, this matter is a bit rushed." Chen Lin persuaded.

"The minister went to Jingxiang, and also had a general understanding of the various forces in Jingxiang, the thieves were very noisy, Liu Biao had been the pastor of Jingzhou for more than a year, but in some counties, he was still difficult to interfere."

"Yuan Shu lives in Luyang, and all the people under his command are from Nanyang, even Changsha County and County, and has an ambiguous relationship with Liu Biao."

"If Your Majesty sends troops to Xinye at this time, the minister is worried that it will prompt Liu Biao to send troops and end up with Yuan Shu and Yuan Shao."

Ma Riyan also expressed his agreement and supplement to Chen Lin's opinion later.

Wang Yun's words were even more intense, "Your Majesty can't use swords and soldiers because others are disrespectful to you, this is a contempt for the lives of the people and soldiers, please have more mercy on Your Majesty." ”

As soon as Liu Wei heard this, he instantly wanted to give Wang Yun a knife.

This old Biden, this fucking is ready to use him for prestige!

Why don't you play labor and management like wild monsters here?

"Your Majesty, Lu Bunai is a rare fierce general in the world, and with his northern town of Xinye, the minister thinks it is completely feasible. It's just a garrison to defend it, and it's not a direct expedition! Xun Yu said quietly.

He had long sensed that the emperor seemed to be a little wary of Lu Bu, so he said directly to the meaning.

And he really thinks it's completely doable.

It's just that he fell in Xinye and beware of changes.

Liu Wei glanced at Xun Yu with appreciation in his eyes.

It's still Xun's uncle and nephew who understand him.

"Don't discuss this, just do it." Liu Wei said directly.

If one person agrees, he will already be able to step down.
