Chapter 39 Poor Figures
Yuan Kui pretended to be silent for a while, and said slowly: "Your Majesty, the Three Dukes' Mansion is customized by my Han Dynasty, if it is abolished for no reason, I am afraid it will cause alarm in the government and the opposition." ”
The Three Princes' Mansions are Sikong, Situ, and Taiwei, which are the evolution of the prime minister's power being continuously divided. Up to now, the three dukes have basically become a kind of fictitious position, unless they hang up the 'record of Shangshushi', enter the Shangshutai, and become the prime minister.
Liu Wei looked at him and said, "I look at the Taishi Records, when Emperor Wu was in power, the number of officials was half of that of this dynasty. ”
Yuan Kui was a little surprised in his heart, he originally thought that Liu Wei was pretending to be studying, but he actually saw something.
"Your Majesty,"
Yuan Kui said: "Emperor Wu has been around for more than two hundred years, and the situation has changed greatly. ”
Liu Wei thought about it and said, "Allocate it as appropriate?" Shang Shutai, I also want to adjust, I plan to make it independent and no longer subordinate to Shaofu, what do you think of the Qing family? ”
Shangshutai is subordinate to Shaofu, placed in the Forbidden Palace, next to the Jiade Palace, since Emperor Guangwu, it is a kind of emperor's direct agency, and does not belong to the imperial court.
But with the development of Shangshutai, it has become the center of the imperial court, and the prime ministers have become 'recording Shangshushi', which is really a bit incorrect and unsatisfactory.
Yuan Kui listened, his eyes showing a hint of surprise.
This young emperor, has thought about it so much? Shouldn't you be busy fighting with He Jin for power?
He was silent for a moment and said: "Your Majesty, Shang Shutai, the matter is very important, involving the government and the opposition, and hundreds of local officials, it is easy to touch, and I am afraid that something will happen." ”
"Drink tea,"
Liu Wei picked up the teacup, took a sip of it, and said, "What about Jiuqing?" ”
Yuan Kui bowed, his expression was heavy, and he didn't go to get the teacup.
It turned out that he had already started to cut the officials, in order to save money and food? ’
Thinking in his heart, he spoke: "Your Majesty, Jiuqing belongs to it, and there is indeed some redundancy, so you can streamline it as appropriate." ”
Seeing that Yuan Kui finally relented, Liu Wei smiled and said, "Okay." Tomorrow, the Qing family will write a notebook and come up, and I will take a look...... There's no need for tomorrow, just now, come and prepare pen and ink for Yuan Qing's family. ”
The middle yellow door behind him responded, and turned to prepare.
Yuan Kui bowed his head, and there was a deep incomprehension in his heart, and he became more and more suspicious.
From announcing his entry into the palace late at night, to now letting him write in person, coupled with the strictly guarded forbidden army everywhere, all signs show that this young majesty seems to be planning something!
'Is it deliberately procrastinating?' ’
Yuan Kui said to himself in his heart, now the power is in He Jin's hands, Shangshutai is He Jin's Yiyantang, he has no power and no power, what is the purpose of keeping him here?
The pen and ink came quickly, Yuan Kui did not hesitate, picked up the pen, paused, and wrote on the silk.
For him, to write such a notebook, there is no need for a manuscript at all, and it is easy to come by.
But he still weighed the words, each of them seemed to be upright and upright, and there was something to say, but in fact it was ambiguous and had no attitude.
Liu Wei watched him write, his face did not move, and he was estimating the time in his heart.
Thirty miles to the capital, about three hours, that is, almost dawn.
"The Qing family writes first, and I go to the toilet." Liu Wei said, and got up to leave.
Yuan Kui hurriedly put down his pen and sent Liu Wei off.
When Liu Wei's back disappeared into the darkness, he slowly sat down, holding the pen, pretending to groan, but his heart became more and more uneasy.
Liu Wei walked out of a distance, beckoned a small yellow door, and said, "Where is Da Changqiu?" ”
Xiao Huangmen said: "Back to Your Majesty, Da Changqiu went to the Chongde Palace, and General Cao was there." ”
Liu Wei looked at the south, it was pitch black, there were few lights, and said: "Tell him, let him send a guard, secretly stare at the General's Mansion, the Three Dukes' Mansion, and the Yuan Mansion, and if there is any abnormality, report to me immediately!" ”
"Yes." The little yellow door responded, and the small steps left quickly.
Liu straightened his clothes and turned back to the pavilion.
Yuan Kui stood up, handed over the silk, and said, "Your Majesty, please take a look." ”
Liu Wei smiled and said: "Here I am with the Qing family, no need to be polite, sit." ”
As he spoke, he took it, sat down, and looked by the light.
Until the end, Liu Wei pouted in his heart, this is really an old slippery head.
But his face was full of smiles, put the paper on the table into the silk, folded it on the table, and said, "Then, let's talk about the emptiness of Si Li, and the fact that Luoyang has no soldiers to guard." The Northern Army, the Southern Army, and the West Garden are all unbearable to protect Luoyang, what do the Qing family think is the best thing to do? ”
Knowing that Liu Wei was deliberately delaying time, Yuan Kui was helpless, confused, but not very worried, because he thought that the Yuan family had no handle, and it was not worth Liu Bianfei's mind to deal with.
After all, there is a He Jin in front of him.
After Yuan Kui sat down, he thought for a moment and said, "Your Majesty, if you want to restore the Northern Army, you need to recruit young people and train them strictly. The so-called raising soldiers for a thousand days and using them for a while, from money, food, equipment, to recruitment and training, is not a day's work, and it should be considered in the long run. ”
Liu Wei nodded and said: "I know this, but the soldiers of the Three Qin can't move, and there are no other soldiers to enter, the Yellow Turban bandits are becoming more and more prosperous, and the land of Jifu must always be cautious." ”
Yuan Kui didn't expect that Liu Wei had already thought about it so much, and he had a new understanding of this young emperor in his heart.
There was a lot of contempt in his heart, Yuan Kui thought about it seriously, and said: "Your Majesty, Bingzhou, Liangzhou, Jizhou, and Qingzhou, each draw two thousand into Beijing, maybe you can do it." ”
Liu Wei didn't trust Yuan Kui, and naturally didn't trust his suggestion, so he said with a smile: "The situation in these places is already grim, and it can't be moved for the time being. I sent General Lu to Chang'an, with an estimated recruitment of 30,000 men. Xixiang Hou went to Qingzhou, and it is estimated that there are also 30,000 people. The total number of 60,000, plus 30,000 in Sanqin, 10,000 in Luoyang, and 100,000 troops, can Luoyang be safe? ”
Yuan Kui's expression was unmoved, but he was extremely shocked in his heart.
He didn't know that Lu Zhi went to Chang'an not long ago, but Xixiang Hou Zhu Jun went to Qingzhou, he didn't know at all!
The people of the Yuan family are full of the Great General's Mansion, he doesn't know, that is to say, He Jin doesn't know either!
What a means!
In this chaotic and crisis-ridden situation, this young emperor who had just succeeded to the throne actually had such a means to hide from the world!
It's no wonder that these days, he is silent in the palace, allowing He Jin to invite people to buy people's hearts and take charge of the power of the world...... It turns out that there is such an arrangement in secret, and the army of 100,000 ......'
Yuan Kui is old in Huan Hai, and the city is very deep, even if he is shocked in his heart, his face will not miss a bit.
Immediately, he realized another problem, these were the secrets of this young emperor, very important, why tell him!?
Yuan Kui became more and more suspicious about announcing his entry into the palace tonight.
With a secret sigh of relief, Yuan Kui said: "Your Majesty, if there are 100,000 troops around Si Li, it will naturally be safe. It's just that the court can't afford the money and food of the 100,000 army. ”
An army of 100,000 people, eating, drinking, and Lazar are all money, this Liu Wei knew it in his heart, and said with a smile: "Don't mention these for the time being." What I want to ask is, if it is feasible to expand the Yulin Army? ”
'Expand the Feather Forest Army? ’
Yuan Kui frowned and was silent in thought.
The Yulin Army is in the hands of He Jin, and if he wants to expand the Yulin Army, it is tantamount to depriving He Jin of his military power.
This is a big foundation for He Jinli, how can he let go easily!?
'Could it be that he is going to do something to He Jin! ’
Yuan Kui's heart was suddenly alert, and his eyes looked straight at Liu Bian.
The Yuan family has a close relationship with He Jin, Yuan Shu and Yuan Shao are all under He Jin, and they haven't had time to leave it yet!
