Chapter 242: Changes in Liangzhou
When Cao Cao came out of the palace, he happened to bump into Cui Lie, the great farmer, entering the palace in a hurry.
"Cui Gong, what is it that makes you act in such a hurry?" Cao Cao asked with a smile.
Cui Lie sighed, "General Cao doesn't know the suffering of these old ministers of the former dynasty, I just want to get food in peace, but the world just comes to me." General Cao walked slowly, I am in a hurry to meet Your Majesty. ”
After saying that, he hurried away.
Cao Cao was aroused by Cui Lie's words, which aroused a strong curiosity in his heart, so he simply waited outside the palace gate.
Cui Lie entered the Deyang Palace, and after kneeling and bowing, he shouted in a very unsteady and urgent voice: "Your Majesty has a big incident." ”
Liu Wei, who was watching the recital, was directly startled by this voice.
"But someone is going to attack Luoyang?" He asked, pinching his eyebrows.
“…… Not really. Cui Lie said weakly.
He realized that his voice seemed to be a little too abrupt and high-pitched.
"Since it's not, next time stabilize the focus. You, the official who was sold, must have the self-cultivation of being pampered and humiliated by the stormy waves on your side. Liu Wei said.
Cui Lie: ......
It seems that he can't get over the matter of selling officials in the previous dynasty.
The emperor didn't know what his intentions were, and when he saw him, he mentioned it once, but he still wanted to use him.
It's murderous!
"Tell me, what's going on!" Liu Wei asked.
"Your Majesty, the minister recently supervised Tian Fu in Chang'an, but accidentally learned that Han Sui and Ma Teng had a fight, and the battlefield was directly pulled to the fields that had been reclaimed by the imperial court." Cui Lie said.
Liu Wei's face was a little unpleasant in an instant, "Because of what?" ”
Cui Lie said: "Your Majesty's atonement, the specific matter, the minister did not find out clearly. It's just that I heard that it seems to be because of the contradiction between the parts. Han Sui, who was the first to be beaten by Ma Teng, defeated Han Sui, and Han Sui entangled his men and horses in Jincheng to kill Ma Teng. ”
"Han Sui also killed Ma Teng's wife and children, and the contradictions between the two seem to be irreconcilable, and the war is about to spread to Youfufeng."
Liu Wei's face was gloomy.
He already knew that these two were not worry-free things.
Fight every day, make trouble every day.
The place in Liangzhou is already barren, if they continue to toss like this, how can there be people in Liangzhou?
"Do they show any signs of deliberately attacking the right wind?" Liu Wei asked.
"Not really. The battlefield spread to the farmland reclaimed by the imperial court, which was also caused by several groups of routs chasing each other. Cui Lie said, "The scale is not large, but there are many places that have spread over, and there are thousands of people." ”
Liu Wei grabbed his hand, "Come on, draft the purpose!" ”
"Order Taiwei Huangfu Song to go to Chang'an, train soldiers and horses, and send people to greet Han Sui and Ma Teng, do you need help from the imperial court?"
"Yui!" Zhao Ye walked out from one side.
Qin An took the holy decree from Zhao Ye, lifted the pen, held his breath and concentrated, and slowly put down the pen.
This is the first time Qin An has drafted an edict since accompanying the driver.
I was a little excited, and the handwriting wasn't as perfect as usual.
Liu Wei had a headache.
If it weren't for Han Sui and Ma Teng, who were carrying tens of thousands of soldiers and horses.
The imperial court's use of troops to the west will inevitably cause a backlash from the eastern forces, and Liu Weizhen wants to give Liangzhou in one go.
If Liangzhou is stabilized, the imperial court will occupy an absolute dominant position in the future.
Whether it is against Yizhou or to the east, it will be much easier, and it will be possible to advance and retreat.
It's a pity that the current situation doesn't allow him to do this at all.
A war on multiple fronts, that is a quagmire.
After the holy decree was drafted, Liu Bianchong asked Cui Lie, "How is Tian Fu at the age of Sanfu?" ”
"Your Majesty, the momentum is good, and the gain is as high as four times that of last year. This is still the case where most local courts give benefits to the people, reduce taxes, or even exempt them. Cui Lie said.
Liu Wei bowed his head.
Better than last year, that's as it should be.
Otherwise, what has he been busy tossing in the past two years?
Last year, the entire Guanzhong was cultivating a large area of barren land, if you don't give a little result, can you say it?!
"Although the world is still turbulent this year, fortunately, Guanzhong has stabilized, and Tuntian has also improved. Although this result is reasonable, it can be regarded as a blessing from heaven. Liu Wei said this to himself.
The emperor should be the ruler of the power of the world.
But he's good, short-lived king!
It's scary to face the result of dying again just after crossing over.
In order not to be killed, Liu Wei almost went crazy last year to hoard power.
In order to restrain Dong Zhuo, he moved out the three generals of the late Han Dynasty who maintained relative loyalty to the imperial court.
Pull out the 4,000 mouths raised in the palace and form a prisoner army.
Plundered the family assets of the ten permanent servants and spent money to recruit soldiers, and secretly raised soldiers in the West Garden.
But fortunately, after this series of things were done, he survived, Shichang died, and Dong Zhuo also died.
Surviving was the only goal Liu Wei struggled for last year.
It's only this year that he seems to have the feeling of an emperor.
Only then do I have leisure time to set my eyes on the whole world.
Cui Lie leaned over and shouted, "This is all thanks to Your Majesty's Shengming!" ”
Liu Wei gladly accepted.
But he didn't feel much holy.
The emperor is only a choice of interests, and which side of the power is favored, and realizes the collection of rights.
Liu Wei chose the same people as the Yellow Turban Army.
Stand for the common people, and support a small number of families.
It's Cui Lie......
Liu Wei looked at the old minister who was kneeling on the ground.
This guy is really funny sometimes.
Although Cui Lie was interceded by Huangfu Song and others, he was temporarily ranked as one of the three princes and nine kings.
But he is the person who Liu Bian's heart wants to let him go home and recuperate.
Unexpectedly, he actually sent very critical information to the imperial court twice.
A big Si Nong, now running around all day is about to tan himself into briquettes.
His changes are not ordinarily large.
"Give 2,000 gold, Cui Qing has worked the boat." Liu Wei said flatly.
"Thank you, Your Majesty." Cui Lie kowtowed and asked euphemistically, "Your Majesty, can you exchange the reward for sugar?" My grandchildren love to eat it, but it's hard to buy it now. ”
Liu Wei laughed, "Okay, Zhao Ye, prepare it for Cui Gong." ”
"Yui!"
Later, Cui Lie happily went home with a box of candy.
When I went out of the palace gate, I walked as if I was stepping on cotton.
The emperor said that the heavens are blessed, and Cui Lie now feels that he is really blessed by the heavens.
The emperor's attitude towards them, the old courtiers, was almost clear at a glance.
If it were possible, he probably wouldn't want any.
Ma Riyan and other famous ministers who have been in the center for many years have been scraped off.
And although he, an official seller, was scolded by the emperor for being an official seller again and again, he was retained.
This time there was a reward, which showed that the emperor's attitude towards him had changed.
Last time, he sent such urgent information for 800 miles, but the emperor didn't have any attitude.
At that time, the emperor should still think of removing him from the position of Dasi Nong and going to the West Garden to practice his craft.
But now, he should have a successful ending.
"Cui Gong." Cao Cao came from not far away.
Cui Lie stopped, "General Cao, has been waiting for me?" ”
"Exactly." Cao Cao generously admitted, "I haven't seen Gong Cui return to Kyoto for a long time, but I finally met today, have a drink or two?" ”
Cui Lie smiled: "Naturally, I can't ask for it. ”
"However, I'm afraid General Cao didn't wait here to drink with me, right?"
Cao Cao laughed, "Look at it, this thing just can't hide from Cui Gong's eyes." ”
Leaning forward slightly, Cao Cao said in a low voice: "I'm a little curious about the news that Cui Gong brought. ”
"Let's talk as we go." Cui Lie glanced at the palace lined with armor soldiers behind him, walked forward slowly, and said: "It's also a coincidence, I happened to go to Chang'an to supervise Tian Fu this year, but I bumped into Han Sui and Ma Teng and got into a fight." ”
"These two thieves are a good time to pick." Cao Cao scolded, "The imperial army has just been classified, and they are making a fuss, what does Your Majesty mean?" ”
"Your Majesty has sent an order to the captain to guard Chang'an and train soldiers and horses." Cui Lie said.
Cao Cao rubbed his teeth, "Let the Taiwei go in person, this ...... Kill chickens with a knife. ”
"The army stationed in Chang'an is the old department of the Imperial Captain, and I am afraid it will not be easy to control it if other people go." Cui Lie said.
Cao Cao shrugged his shoulders, "In this case, shouldn't it be more appropriate to change people?" ”
Cui Lie hissed lightly and couldn't help but smile bitterly, "General Cao's words are indeed reasonable......
"No, I have to go and see Your Majesty." Cao Cao said suddenly.
He arched his hand as he turned around, "Gong Cui is offended, I owe this wine first, let me invite it again in the future." ”
Cui Lie: ......
