Taiyuan City.

Liu Wei was patrolling the city, followed by Lu Zhi and Zhang Liao.

Lu Zhi's expression was calm and unsmiling.

Liu Wei held the good news from everywhere in his hand, and said with a smile: "When I was in Beijing, Huangfuqing's family once told me that Lu Qing's family was far superior to him in national politics, army management, and military strategy. ”

Lu Zhi bowed and said, "Da Sima is indeed too humble, in these aspects, the minister is far inferior to Da Sima. ”

Liu Wei smiled.

The relationship between Lu Zhi and Huangfu Song is still very good, Lu Zhi was framed by the 12 permanent servants in the rebellion of the Yellow Turban Army, and he was imprisoned for his crimes, which was saved by Huangfu Song's repeated efforts.

After a slight pause, Liu Wei looked at the good news in his hand again, the Marquis of Xubu Gudu died, Yu Fuluo ran back, Sun Jian, Zhao Yun and the Black Mountain Army fought, and Gongsun Zhan rushed over.

The annexation of the state was largely pacified.

The next thing to consider is the aftermath.

Liu Wei had the intention to transfer Lu Zhi back to Beijing to assist Huangfu Song and promote the reform of the military system.

But the state is a chaotic place, and it needs a great talent, or even an all-rounder, to guard it, and Liu Wei didn't find another suitable candidate after thinking about it.

Liu Wei paced while thinking about it, and said, "I think about it, how do you feel about carrying out land clearance and population census in Bingzhou, and then redividing the fields?" ”

When Lu Zhi heard this, his face did not move, he thought about it seriously, and said: "Your Majesty, if this is the case, it is necessary to completely eradicate the bandits in the state, stabilize the counties and counties, and ...... A lot of money and food. ”

Bingzhou is in turmoil every year, the population is outflowing, the people's livelihood is withering, and after the chaos, it is the most suitable place for change in the Han Dynasty. Clearing acres of land and approving households requires a lot of manpower and material resources, not to mention that post-war relief is also an astronomical amount.

Liu Wei pondered and said, "I know all this, but no matter how hard it is, I have to do it, and I can't keep delaying it by tinkering." ”

Lu Zhi knew everything about the affairs in the capital, looked up at the young majesty in front of him, and was silent.

Liu Wei walked for a while, then suddenly turned around and said, "Qing family, it won't be long before the imperial court will send people to various counties and counties." In addition, for the state pastor, I considered that he should concentrate on political affairs, and that he should be assisted by someone else in military affairs...... What do you think? ”

Lu Zhi instantly understood Liu Wei's thoughts, thought for a moment, and said, "The minister thinks it's okay, but it's not too urgent." ”

Liu Wei nodded slightly, and Lu Zhi agreed, so it would be easy to use the merger of states as a test field for change.

His idea was very simple, he could not allow the state pastor to take charge of the military and political power alone and become the emperor of the soil. But the reality is that local state pastors must hold great power, otherwise they will not be able to suppress the localities.

The emergence of the state pastor itself is to suppress the local tyrants, but inevitably, a greater independent force will be formed.

His cheap Lao Tzu wants to use the people of the old Liu family as the state pastor, similar to the partition, which is a repetition of the old way, the people of the old Liu family are also ambitious, some want to enter Beijing to sit in that position, and some want to sit in that position locally.

Lu Zhi's 'should not be too anxious', the meaning is also very simple, in addition to the need to impeachment and suppress the locality, these people have de facto power, and if the imperial court wants to divide their power, it is tantamount to asking for trouble, which will further urge them to grasp more power and get one step closer to an independent kingdom.

Liu Wei knew this situation well, smiled and whispered to Lu Zhi: "This matter, don't let too many people know about it for the time being, let's quietly implement it in Bingzhou, see the pros and cons, and when the time is ripe, we will spread it further." ”

"I understand." Lu Zhi said with an impassive expression. He had the same attitude as Huangfu Song, who was deeply worried about the excessive power of the local government, but also opposed too drastic actions, which caused a local backlash and chaos in the world.

With Lu Zhi's support, Liu Wei was relieved, looked up at the north, and said, "What do you think about the Black Mountain Army?" ”

As soon as the defeated voice fell, Pan Yin hurriedly came up, and handed Liu Wei a notebook with a solemn expression, without saying a word.

Liu Wei glanced at him with some surprise, opened it to look, and immediately raised his eyebrows.

This song was originally from Xun You, and he talked about a lot of political affairs, but at the end he seemed to inadvertently mention a sentence: The Empress Dowager misses Her Majesty and the King of Bohai very much, and wants to return to Beijing.

Liu Wei's face did not move, and he smiled and said to Lu Zhi: "Tell the Qing family." ”

Lu Zhi noticed Liu Wei's expression, didn't ask much, and said: "The minister thinks that the Montenegrin army is coerced by many people, and it is separated by mountains and mountains, and it is time-consuming and labor-intensive to forcibly levy, and it must be mainly appeased. ”

Liu Wei pondered and was silent.

Solved the problem of Dong Zhuo and the Xiongnu, the biggest problem in the northern states is two, one is the Yellow Turban Army, and the other is the Black Mountain Army.

The Montenegrin Army seems to be quite honest on weekdays, but from time to time it pops up and jumps twice, which makes Liu Wei feel like a fish in his throat, and he is unhappy not to go.

But the situation here also made Liu Wei have no spare strength, and he 'easily' solved the Montenegrin army.

Lu Zhi looked at Liu Wei's expression, his sideburns moved slightly, and the corners of his peaceful face showed a resolute look, and said, "Your Majesty, everything is too much, and you need to be patient if you can't reach it quickly." ”

Liu Wei listened to Lu Zhi's persuasion and let out a long breath in his heart.

His heart is like a mirror, this is not in a hurry, it is not okay to be in a hurry!

Liu Wei thought carefully for a while, and said, "In a few days, I will send someone to canonize Yu Luo as Shan Yu." Sun Jian returned to Hanzhong, and Gongsun Zhan ...... Stay in Taiyuan temporarily. The others returned to Beijing with me, by the way, what did the Qing family think of Cao Mengde? ”

When Lu Zhi heard this, he looked at Liu Wei, and after a while, he said, "There is the appearance of a general." ”

Liu Wei felt a little strange in his heart, speaking of which, there are indeed many people who are very optimistic about Cao Cao, even if Cao Cao has no military merits and has repeatedly failed.

'Is this charisma?' ’

Liu Wei said to himself in his heart, but with Lu Zhi's step, it would be easier for him to protect Cao Cao, and said with a smile: "Okay." The next thing I will leave to the Qing family, and after a day, I will leave for Beijing. ”

Lu Zhi raised his hand and said, "Your Majesty, what about money and food?" ”

Liu argued: "100,000 stone of grain, 10,000 yuan, given in two years, no matter how much, I can't get it out." ”

This amount of money and grain is a drop in the bucket for the huge merger state, or two years.

Lu Zhi knew the embarrassment of the treasury, which must be beyond the limit, and this young majesty probably had to find ways to raise it everywhere.

Compared with the previous emperor's greed for money, this majesty is much more aware of righteousness.

Lu Zhi's expression was solemn, he bowed deeply, and said, "Thank you, Your Majesty." ”

Liu Wei waved his hand and turned his head to look in the direction of Luoyang.

After tossing for nearly two months, I'm going back again.

At this time, a soldier quietly came up, and after saluting Liu Wei, he whispered behind Lu Zhi.

Liu Wei ignored it and quietly looked in the direction of Luoyang.

If he goes back this time, his predicament will be greatly improved, right?

The soldier left, and Lu Zhi argued with Liu: "Your Majesty, there are some urgent matters, and the minister will deal with it." ”

After arguing with Liu for a few days, Lu Zhi figured out the temperament of this new majesty, as long as he didn't touch the bottom line, everything was easy to talk about.

This is a king with a great personality and a gentle jade.

Liu Wei nodded, and when he left, he picked up Xun You's notebook again, his eyes were gloomy.

If Empress Dowager Dong wants to return to Beijing, there must be some reason.

"Did I release Liu Xie and give this grandmother a different way? If she has an idea, will there be some people who will also think about it? ”

Liu Wei muttered to himself.

For Liu Xie, Liu Wei hopes to let him come out and help himself, but as soon as Liu Xie comes out, some careerists will be brought out.

His cheap old man wanted to abolish his grandson and establish a young man, leaving Liu Wei in a big trouble!

At the same time, in front of the Taiyuan County Government, a large group of people came.

When they saw Lu Zhi, they scolded loudly.

"Dong Zhuo killed the scholars, did you sit back and ignore it?"

"Since yesterday, Dong Zhuo has killed a full six hundred people in Xihe County, envoy, this is your order?"

"The Zhou family has been loyal and good for generations, and has made meritorious achievements in Bingzhou and Dahan, and now they are slaughtered all over the house, so that the king is the shepherd of His Majesty, is it possible that this is how it is governed?"

"Envoy, I am the only one in my Li family who has escaped, if the envoy thinks I am guilty, please treat it as an execution!"

"Which royal law has my Wang family violated, could it be that you even want to kill the princes in the court?!"

Lu Zhi was expressionless, listening to these people shouting.

They didn't know that Liu Wei had arrived in Taiyuan City.

When these people stopped for a while, Lu Zhi put his hands behind his back, looked indifferent, and said: "Dong Zhuo is the captain, I can't ask, if you have any grievances, this official can impeach on your behalf." ”

As soon as everyone saw Lu Zhi pushing 265, they immediately fried the pot.

Someone was about to rush forward and shouted: "Lu Zigan, Dong Zhuo wantonly slaughtered scholars under your rule, are you so shirking?" ”

"Your Majesty!"

"Your Majesty! Let's go to see Your Majesty, let's go, go to the party to see Your Majesty! ”

"We don't believe it, I'm a big man, and there is no place to reason!"

A group of people wanted to go to Liu Wei, but there were still a few who refused to leave, and they kept pulling with Lu Zhi.

Liu Wei walked over, saw it from a distance, and said to Pan Yin without moving: "Dong Zhuo killed so much? ”

Pan Yin's face was dark, and he said cautiously: "The villain heard that there is also Zuo Li's secret hand. ”

Liu Wei snorted, still looking at Lu Zhi.

Lu Zhi stood at the door with his hands behind his back, letting these people shout, but he didn't have a word accurately, and he was sure that he couldn't control Dong Zhuo, so that these 'bitter masters' had no way.

Liu Wei couldn't help but smile.

In fact, most of his list is linked to various rebellions, which are inextricably linked to Dong Zhuo, the Xiongnu, and the Yellow Turban Army.

In doing so, in addition to liquidation, Liu Wei is also paving the way for future reforms.

These ill-intentioned families entrenched in the local area will inevitably be a stumbling block on his road to reform in the future!

A soldier suddenly ran to Lu Zhi and whispered a few words in his ear, Lu Zhi didn't care about this, turned around and left.

Those people shouted, caught a glimpse of Lu Zhi giving Liu Wei a salute and leaving, and suddenly fell silent, looking at each other with different expressions.

"That's, Your Majesty?"

"Isn't it? Isn't Your Majesty in Shangdang County? ”

"Who's that? Isn't it a noble person from Luoyang? ”

……

Lu Zhi followed behind Liu Wei and said, "Your Majesty, Sun Jian slaughtered more than a dozen stockades of the Black Mountain Army, I heard that Zhang Yan is holding an alliance meeting......

Liu Wei raised his eyebrows, with a cold face, and said: "If he dares to move, I will level his so-called Black Mountain Army!" ”

With the strength of the imperial court, it is completely possible.

Lu Zhi paused and said, "He may not dare to mess around, the minister thinks about it, and Sun Jian should be recalled." ”

It can be done, but the money, food and energy that the court will spend are also incalculable, and the gains outweigh the losses.

Now is not the best time to level the Montenegrin army.

Liu Wei looked in the direction of Youzhou and said directly: "Pan Yin, send a decree to Zhang Yan, order the Black Mountain Army to withdraw south of Yanmen, go south without a decree, and immediately kill it!" ”

"Yes." Pan Yin listened to Liu Wei's murderous words, and hurriedly responded.

Lu Zhi thought about it and didn't speak. The imperial court defeated the Xiongnu, and the momentum was flourishing, and Zhang Yan categorically did not dare to resist the order.

"The Qing family, Niu Fu has been reorganized." Liu Wei said casually. Niu Fu's army is still in his hands, and if he doesn't take back his soldiers and horses, it will always be a hidden danger.

"I understand." Lu Zhi bowed.

The trend of the times is no longer for Dong Zhuo and Niu Fu to be cautious.

At this time, Dong Zhuo was still arresting and convicting counties one by one according to the list given by Liu Wei.

Cao Cao led his troops to suppress bandits everywhere, and in just five or six days, his team actually swelled nearly doubled!

The reorganization of the counties and counties is proceeding in an orderly manner, and although the prefectures have been turned upside down, there is also a kind of 'stability' that is rarely seen.

Seeing that the arrangements were almost complete, Liu Wei turned around and went back to continue his official business.

Zhang Liao began to reorganize his troops and horses, preparing to escort Liu Wei back to Beijing.

At the same time, Luoyang City was already boiling, and it was full of Liu Wei's great deeds of driving his own expedition, winning a complete victory, and killing the Xiongnu Shan Yu.

A teahouse, full of seats, noisy and noisy.

A middle-aged man on crutches, blushing and thick-necked, said loudly: "I was only a zhang away from Your Majesty, at that time, the rain of arrows of the Huns, overwhelming, boundless, Your Majesty stood in place, motionless, let the rain of arrows rush to the face, I also saw that an arrow fell in front of Your Majesty's feet, Your Majesty has no fear!" ”

Everyone knew that he was a wounded soldier who had returned from Shangdang County, and Qi Qi's eyes were wide open, staring at him with great enthusiasm, his breathing stopped, and his face was full of words: You say it quickly, you say it quickly, you say it quickly.

The middle-aged man's vanity swelled instantly, he took a sip of tea, earned enough eyes, and then said: "At that time, the Huns were menacing, chasing Cao Cao and killing to the south gate, 20,000 people, 2,000 more than in Shangdang County......"

When the middle-aged man said that he was excited, he suddenly stood up, stepped on the stool, met everyone's hot eyes, and said loudly: "It's too late, it's too soon, and I saw Your Majesty standing at the head of the city, holding a sword high, with majestic eyes, and all our soldiers shouted: The city is here, the city is dead, and I will defend the city with all the soldiers and live and die together!" ”

"Your Majesty is mighty!"

"Your Majesty is mighty!"

"Your Majesty is mighty!"

The audience's enthusiasm boiled when they listened, and they couldn't help but applaud.

All the people in the teahouse were excited, and the enthusiastic cheers almost broke this small teahouse.

In the corner, two people were very calm and whispering.

One of them looked twenty-four or five years old, dressed freshly and handsomely, and at first glance he was a good son.

He stretched out his head and whispered, "Father, is it true?" ”

The middle-aged man on the opposite side frowned, his face was dull, giving people a feeling of sadness.

The middle-aged man shook his head lightly and said, "It's mostly false." ”

A young emperor, facing tens of thousands of Huns, who can believe it?

The young man's expression was relieved, and he thought so too.

"However, the killing of the Huns should not be fake, this time the royal drive in person, it is indeed a complete victory, and my Han has not been in a situation for many years." The middle-aged man added.

The young man's expression tightened again, a trace of pity and melancholy appeared in his eyes, and he said in his heart: "If I am also here...... Miss this time, I don't know if there will be a next time. ’

Seeing that the noise was getting more and more enthusiastic, the young man calmed down and said, "Father's Luoyang Order has been deposed, why don't you go back to Lujiang?" ”

The middle-aged man looked unwilling, depressed, but couldn't vent, and hesitated: "I want to go to Hanzhong to have a look." ”

The young man naturally saw it, and immediately said: "It is also a good place to go with Uncle Sun to take care of it." ”

When the middle-aged man saw his son agree, he immediately smiled and said, "You go with me to visit Cai Taichang in the evening, your grandfather has an old relationship with him." ”

The young man was not familiar with Cai Yong, but he heard that his daughter was newly widowed.

The two quietly checked out and left, the excitement in the teahouse continued, and when they went out, in the streets and alleys, they were still discussing the huge martial arts and glorious deeds of Liu Wei's personal expedition.

The father and son glanced at each other, avoided the crowd, and went straight to Cai Yong's mansion.

The Shangshutai in the palace is also in full swing.

Xun You had just returned from Jizhou, commanding the people under him, and talking to them while flipping through the official documents.

"The wording is not enough, it is necessary to highlight the wisdom and martial arts of His Majesty."

"This is to report to the whole country, too guarded enough, to the county level."

"Impeachment whom? Dong Zhuo? Leave it alone. Dedicated to His Majesty's personal conquest. ”

"The prime minister will go and say that the money and food allocated to the state cannot be less, I know...... It's just that it can't be less, and then you urge it, you must sign the prime minister! ”

"What's wrong with the Great Si Nong Mansion? All money and grain must be deposited in it, and not a single grain can be outflowed! Move everyone out, let Xing Cao take people there, and forcibly move out. ”

"You don't have to worry about the palace."

"Da Sima...... I'll say later, you will comb through the list of meritorious contributions again, don't make mistakes, yes, add Cao Cao. ”

"What's the matter? The matter of Tocao? I'll go see He Shangshu later, you give me the amount of money and food, I know I know, I'll figure it out. ”

……

Wang Yun came in with a stack of official documents at this time, and seeing that Xun You was busy like this, he turned around and went to his duty room.

As soon as Xun You looked up, he saw his back, and hurriedly said: "Prince, the candidate for the pastor of Yuzhou is not decided for the time being. ”

Wang Yun turned around without moving, and said, "Why?" ”

As soon as Xun You was about to answer, someone handed over a piece of paper, he hurriedly glanced at it and pushed it back, and then looked at Wang Yun and said, "Your Majesty has explained before." ”

Outsiders don't know that Yuzhou Mu was specially left to Dong Zhuo by Liu Bian.

Wang Yun walked over with the paperwork and said, "I heard that Donglai County in Qingzhou has been lost?" ”

Xun You sat back, flew up busily, and said casually: "There is no money and food, Zhu Yuanjun is now worried, and several official documents a day urging money and food, the lower officials really can't squeeze it out......"

Wang Yun had the intention of impeaching Zhu Jun and wanted to take the opportunity to test Xun You's attitude, but seeing him like this, he changed the topic and said: "Xun Shangshu, how much is the total summer tax?" ”

"Converted, less than 30,000." Xun You blurted out.

Wang Yun frowned, 30,000, 300,000, for the current Han Dynasty, it is too little, a drop in the bucket!

"I remember, a few years ago, it was still 100,000?" Wang Yun asked tentatively. He was suspecting that Xun You and others were hiding taxes.

Xun You didn't raise his head, and said: "The taxes from the southern states have been sharply reduced, Qingzhou, Yanzhou, and the state...... It's pretty much the same. ”

Wang Yun thought of these situations, his expression was tense, and seeing that Xun Yu was too busy, he didn't say anything more, and turned to leave.

Xun You listened to his footsteps, raised his eyelids, watched him enter the duty room, pulled the little official beside him, and said in a low voice: "You go to investigate, what Xing Cao has been doing recently, be careful, don't be discovered." ”

The little official glanced at Wang Yun's room and said cautiously, "Yes." ”

After saying this, Xun You continued to be busy.

At this moment, Zhong Xuan came in, with a pile of playbooks in his hand, wiped his sweat and said: "It's all about impeaching Dong Zhuo, Lu Yuanjun, Cao Cao, Gongsun Zhan, Sun Jian and others, except for Your Majesty, no one escaped." ”

In September, Xun Yu was also very hot, wiped it with his arm, and said to the little official: "Add a little more charcoal." ”

Then he sat down and said, "What did the prime minister say?" ”

Zhong Xuan sat down, took a sip of herbal tea, and said, "I just came back from the Prime Minister's Mansion, and the Prime Minister said that it was 'Playing the Holy Judgment'. ”

Xun You shook his head, drove away the others, looked at Zhong Xuan and said, "I heard that there are many people coming to the Zhaoxian Pavilion, have you been to see it?" ”

Zhong Xuan said: "Go, every day is full." I gave it a try, and there are a few that are really good, and I'm going to put them in Sanfu to check them out. By the way, there is a young man who is more special, and he has a big voice, but he says a lot of truth, and it is not all empty talk. ”

"Oh?"

Xun You became interested, and said with a smile: "I can let Zhong Tingwei take a look, I guess there must be something extraordinary, what is it called, where does it come from?" ”

Zhong Xuan said: "I only know the surname Guo, and I don't want to say the name, perhaps, it has some origin." ”

Xun You recalled carefully, but there was no suitable person, and then said: "Since you are here, you can't run, and sooner or later you will appear." ”

As he spoke, he glanced at Wang Yun's room, approached Zhong Xuan, and said in a low voice: "I heard that many people died in Taiyuan, and the prince seems to be collecting evidence of Lu Yuanjun's crimes. ”

Zhong Xuan nodded silently.

Wang Yun, from the Taiyuan Wang family, the Wang family is not prominent in the Han Dynasty and the imperial court, but it is not ordinary in Taiyuan.

The two of them also had a lot of slander in Wang Yun's hearts, and they looked at each other and were secretly vigilant.

Zhong Xuan's expression became more serious, he leaned closer and closer, and said in a low voice: "The Empress Dowager wants to return to Beijing?" ”

Xun Yu turned his head and looked at the small room separated by a wall, which was Liu Xie's duty room.

Xun You said: "Well, the Queen Mother is very angry. ”

Zhong Xuan knew, and didn't know what to say for a while.

The Empress Dowager He can quarrel with the Empress Dowager in the palace and target her face everywhere, but outside the palace, the royal decency that should be taken into account must be taken into account, and the 'Queen Mother' cannot be blatantly prevented from returning to Beijing.

But it is clear in everyone's hearts that the Empress Dowager Dong cannot be allowed to come back - now His Majesty will succeed to the throne, and the unification has been decided!

However, His Majesty was secretive, and the palace did not express his position.
