Chapter 256: Foolish Emperor
With Liu Wei's permission, Taiwei Fan Ling paused and said loudly: "Your Majesty! The minister thinks that when today's Han world, as His Majesty said, it is an eventful autumn, but the root cause of its troubles is nothing more than two words: get power! In the past, there was a women's temple to interfere in politics, the dictatorship of foreign relatives, and then there were martial arts and soldiers, and the army was in rebellion in Luoyang, and the dictatorship of the ministers collapsed and the government collapsed, and the government decree was not passed, and the government was delayed and the state affairs were delayed, and the people were dissatisfied and the country was not a country! ”
"Humph! Captain Fan, you're old and confused, aren't you? Less alarmist here, although the Han world is a little unquiet, but the country's fortunes are booming, and now that the new emperor has ascended the throne, it is the time to make a big show, why make such a fuss and make a fuss about some small flaws! ”
After listening to Fan Ling's words, the Queen Mother He Lianfeng's eyes were cold, and she refuted her head and face.
When Fan Ling heard this, he was furious, pointed at He Lian and scolded: "Woman! This is the place where the imperial court discusses politics, and the ancestors have already customized, and there is no place for a woman like you here! Now you are interfering in the government without authorization, which is a blasphemy against the emperors of the Han Dynasty! ”
He Lian was also angry when she heard this, this old thing was impatient! How dare you use the rules of your ancestors to scare the mourning family?
"Someone! Stripped this old fool of his court clothes and reduced him to a commoner! Get out! ”
When Fan Ling heard this, he immediately prostrated on the ground and shouted to the sky: "The first emperor of the Han Dynasty, have you all seen it?" The Han Dynasty that you single-handedly established, it is a woman's turn to call the shots here! Where is the royal law? Where is the ancestral system? The country will not be a country! The country will not be a country! ”
Fan Ling is an old bone, has reached the age of the sixtieth year, and is the third prince who is high in the sky, and has always enjoyed a high reputation among the scholars, although the old man's words are a little more intense, but it is reasonable, according to the ancestral system, of course, the women's temple can not interfere in politics, even if the queen mother wants to listen to the government, she has to sit behind the scenes, but He Lian ran directly to the front desk, that's it, even Dong Zhuo followed there, so that the king is not a king, and the minister is not a minister.
The little emperor Liu Bi didn't know how to deal with it for a while, and looked at He Lian as if asking, and He Lian was still glaring at Fan Ling angrily, gritting his teeth, Liu Bi just wanted to order it to do it when he saw this, but Dong Zhuo opened his mouth and said: "The Queen Mother is angry!" Although Lord Fan's words are a little more intense, he is also dedicated to the country! ”
"Shut up! Piff! You are just a barbarian in Xiliang, thanks to the grace of the Han Dynasty, you can hold the military power, you don't want to serve the court, you are loyal to the country, and you lead the troops into Beijing to fight for power and profit without authorization, how can there be a place for a puppet like you in the palace? The country of the Han Dynasty is ruined by a villain like you who fights for power and profit! ”
Dong Zhuogang opened his mouth to intercede for Fan Ling, but Fan Ling not only did not appreciate it, but also beat him up, making Dong Zhuo so angry that his fat body trembled, and he couldn't say a word there.
Seeing this, Liu Wei hurriedly said: "Someone! Taiwei Fan Ling offended the Queen Mother and, He, and Master Taishi, the crime is unforgivable, stripped of his official uniform, and demoted to the common people! Expulsion from the palace! ”
Fan Ling not only took gunpowder today, but even risked his life, pointing at Liu Bian's nose and scolding: "Faint Jun! Faint! ”
When Liu Wei heard this, he was also annoyed, and he was scolded for being unconscious at the first court meeting! Okay, he immediately got up, pointed at Fan Ling and roared, "Old man! How dare you insult me! This is a great sin of disrespect! Come! Push him out and cut him down! No! Destroy the other people! ”
He Lian and Dong Zhuo were stunned at the same time, why didn't they find out before, arguing that he was so ruthless? Extermination, but it's a bit too much!
The hundred officials who have been silent below have quit, although Fan Ling is a little more upright and radical, but it is basically true, and everyone can not get out if he is degraded to a common person, anyway, anyone with a discerning eye can see that Fan Ling's career is definitely over! But it's a bit too much to drag out and cut it, as the saying goes, you can't punish the doctor, not to mention that Fan Ling is still a respected third duke, and he has always had a good reputation among the scholars, and it is impossible to talk about extermination!
This little puppet is really ruthless! Much more ruthless than his father Liu Hong! Liu Hong was scolded by his ministers every day, and he never saw anyone's clan exterminated, but occasionally cut a few people when he was on fire.
Taifu Yuan Kui took the lead in speaking, knelt on the ground and said: "Your Majesty, the Queen Mother, although Taiwei Fan's words are fierce, but he is loyal to the Han court, and the people have an excellent reputation, please Your Majesty and the Queen Mother remember his first offense, and be light!" ”
"The ministers seconded it!"
"Fart! What are you? Dare to refute my will? Come on, even this old horseman will be cut down! And you, all of you want to rebel or not? ”
Manchu Chaowu, thirteen-year-old Liu Biao only knows Zhuang Shaoyou alone, this Fan Ling has just met, as for Taifu Yuan Kui, Liu Biao doesn't recognize it, Liu Biao, who is angry, immediately refutes Yuan Kui unrelentingly, and the hundred officials below are in a cold sweat, it's really a newborn calf who is not afraid of tigers!
Liu Biao lacks eyes, but He Lian and Dong Zhuo are not short of eyes, hearing that Liu Biao is going to cut Yuan Kui, both of them were startled, and glanced at each other, or He Lian opened his mouth more appropriately: "Your Majesty, Taifu Yuan Kui is highly respected, the Yuan family is a family of four generations and three dukes, all of whom are the pillars of my Han dynasty from generation to generation, and the emperor must not be reckless!" ”
After He Lian's reminder, Liu Wei was taken aback, he was angry just now, and he didn't care who the old man below was, Yuan Kui? My Taifu? The Yuan family of the fourth and third dukes? Even if Liu Wei is ignorant, he has heard of the name of the Yuan family.
Zhuang Shaoyou was originally planning to think about something to pass the time, but before he could find the idea, Fan Ling, the old horseman, jumped out with a handful of snot and tears, and then the Queen Mother He Lian also began to sprinkle, and then Dong Zhuo took a hot face to stick to other people's cold buttocks, and then the stupid emperor Liu Biao was scolded by Fan Ling, and finally Liu Biao, a fool, although he was young, but his heart was extremely vicious, not only to cut Fan Ling, but also to destroy the family, and then made an oolong, to cut down Taifu Yuan Kui.
Scene after scene, overwhelming, so exciting!
Originally, I was still wondering if I wanted to ask for a favor for Fan Ling, but now it's good, don't worry about it first, let's see!
In fact, Zhuang Shaoyou really wanted to get involved, with Liu Wei's hatred for Zhuang Shaoyou, he would definitely do something more stupid, but Zhuang Shaoyou didn't like to play this kind of conspiracy, so he just gave up! The show is already exciting, so it's not the icing on the cake!
Liu Wei, who was a little sober, learned that the old man below was Taifu Yuan Kui, so he quickly changed his smile and said: "It turned out to be my Taifu, it's really disrespectful and disrespectful!" I was angry for a moment just now, and I didn't see it clearly, so please don't be surprised! It's okay now! Hehe! ”
The temple was silent.
The ministers broke out in a cold sweat, Dong Zhuo sneered, and He Lian was so angry that the roots of her teeth itched, and she wanted to strangle this waste! An emperor, even if he wants to admit his mistakes, has a variety of means, and he must not be so direct, let alone so flattering! How can Liu Bian's virtue still be like an emperor? It's just a villain in the market, this face, this virtue, it's simple!
He Lian said in a low voice: "Defend your back and forbid you to speak again!" ”
Liu Wei was startled, glanced back, and just saw He Lian's cold phoenix eyes, he was suddenly frightened, and hurriedly retreated to the dragon chair, like a child who had made a mistake, lowered his head and said nothing.
He Lian had the heart to die, barely calmed down the anger in her heart, and said: "Taifu Yuan quickly calmed down, Taiwei Fan Ling committed a crime, alarmist, remove the post of Taiwei, demote to Jing Zhaoyin, and set off today!" ”
Taiwei Fan Ling still wanted to be angry, but was stopped by Yuan Kui on the side, and Lord Taifu's face still had to be given, so he barely held back his anger and snorted coldly: "It's exactly what I want!" The court is full of filth, and out of sight is pure! ”
After saying that, he swaggered out of the hall and walked away, the Queen Mother He Lian had already regained her composure, looking at all this expressionlessly, without saying anything, but I don't know what she was thinking in her heart! After a while, order was restored in the hall, and the Queen Mother glared at Liu Wei, who hurriedly said:
"What else do you have to do?"
At this time, Sikong Ding Gong walked out of the column tremblingly, saluted slowly, and said in a hoarse voice: "Your Majesty!" A month ago, the river flooded, and the four prefectures of Sili, Hebei, Yan, and Qingdao were affected, and millions of people were lost; Then the floods in the south of the Yangtze River, Jing and Yang talked about life; The people in the original place could not continue, and the thieves instigated them, and they rose up to attack the city and conquer the land, which was a lot of trouble............ (2,000 words omitted) ............ Therefore, His Majesty allocated funds to build river embankments to protect the people; Repair the city and according to Hulu, repair the armor soldiers to calm the world! ”
Sikong Ding Gong is nearly eighty years old, old and unbearable, has been an official for nearly ten years, is a veritable old officialdom in the imperial court, and his reputation has always been acceptable, and now he puts forward this kind of suggestion, but also for the country and the people, I just don't know if he is old and confused, he said that he should do what he said, but where does the money come from?
Repair the embankment? Repair the city? Armouricist?
Which emperor wouldn't want to? But how much does it cost?
Liu Bian's degree is not high, when he was a child, he was free-range in the Taoist temple, no one taught him to read, although he arranged a lot of masters to teach after returning to the palace, but how could Liu Bian, who was playing wild, be bound by it? Liu Hong was annoyed when he saw him, let alone teach; And He Lian and He Jin are too busy with work to take care of him, and the unrestrained Emperor Liu Bian, under the encouragement of the little eunuch, has fun to his heart's content, and he has been engaging in women since he was eleven years old, and he is lustful all day long, how can he have kung fu to study?
Ding Gong spoke alone for nearly half an hour, and Liu Wei was dizzy when he heard it, of course, Zhuang Shaoyou was also confused, but fortunately, the front is all arguments, and the conclusion is relatively clear, in short, it costs money!
Liu Wei didn't know how to answer for a while, so he turned to He Lian and said, "I don't know what the queen mother thinks?" ”
He Lian barely squeezed out a smile, this little is not too stupid!
"Ding Sikong, now the treasury is extremely empty, this is an indisputable fact, this matter should be discussed later!"
Ding Gong trembled after hearing this: "The old minister remembers that there are still more than 400 million yuan in the treasury a while ago, why is there no money?" ”
Yuan Kui, the Taifu on the side, hesitated for a moment and said, "Ding Sikong, what year is that?" There are 400 million dollars in the treasury in the four years of Guanghe, but now it has been seven or eight years! Are you still thinking about it? ”
When Ding Gong heard this, he suddenly realized: "It's been seven or eight years?" That's fast! Your Majesty and the Queen Mother forgive their sins, but the ministers are confused! The old minister is old and frail, and he has been feeling extremely tired recently, and he is really unable to take care of political affairs, so he implores His Majesty and the Queen Mother to allow the minister to return to his hometown! ”
Taifu Yuan Kui sighed, Zhuang Shaoyou suddenly realized, after going around for a long time, this old man originally wanted to find an excuse to slip away! According to convention, Ding Gong's level is so old, he will definitely let him die in office, and then be advertised by the imperial court as a model for bowing to the end of his life. But this old man didn't want to do this, as for what the reason, Zhuang Shaoyou couldn't figure it out.
But Yuan Kui, Wang Yun and other old officialdom understand very well that this is a silent protest! Ding Gong is also dissatisfied with the current situation! It's just that the way of expression is much more tactful than Fan Ling!
