Inside the Shou'an Palace.

Liu Xie has recovered a lot, and his face is not as pale as before.

The three of them knelt down separately, Liu Wei was thinking about how to speak, and Empress Dowager Dong and Liu Xie were unconsciously nervous.

Because someone openly wanted to 'save' Liu Xie, Liu Xie was pushed into an extremely dangerous situation.

Empress Dowager Dong and Liu Xie raised unprecedented vigilance against Liu Bian, as if Liu Biao would make them 'violently die' for some reason at any time.

Liu Wei looked at the two of them, and simply went straight to the throne, "Grandmother, did the first emperor leave a testament and order the emperor's younger brother Liu Xie to succeed to the throne?" ”

Empress Dowager Dong and Liu Xie were obviously stunned on their faces, and then they couldn't help but glance at each other.

Empress Dowager Dong suddenly became vigilant and said, "I have never heard any edicts. ”

Liu Xie hurriedly shook his head and said, "Brother Chen hasn't heard of it either." ”

Liu Wei didn't see anything unusual on their faces, nodded, got up and said, "I know." ”

Empress Dowager Dong and Liu Xie didn't dare to speak anymore, but just looked at Liu Wei's back, and became more and more frightened.

Blatantly 'saving' doesn't count, and now what kind of 'edict' is coming out, isn't this to force them to death?

Empress Dowager Dong waited for Liu Wei to leave, her calm expression became panicked, hugged Liu Xie, couldn't help crying, and said, "My poor grandson ......"

Liu Xie was also nervous, his little face tried his best to remain calm, and comforted the Empress Dowager Dong: "Don't worry, grandmother, the imperial brother said that he would not do fratricidal things, the royal family is the best example in the world, and it is the most harmonious." ”

Empress Dowager Dong knew the ruthless cruelty of the royal family better than Liu Xie, but she was afraid that Liu Xie would worry, so she endured her fear and cried.

Liu Xie patted Empress Dowager Dong's back and pursed her lips quietly, terrified to the extreme.

Liu argued out of the Shou'an Palace and went straight to the Yongle Palace.

Empress Dowager He was very happy that Liu Wei came to save her as soon as possible in the last earthquake, and pulled him to make food for him.

Liu Wei smiled and stayed next to her, chatting with her.

Empress Dowager He didn't know about the text yet, she kept it in her hands, and said: "You are the emperor, don't touch this, it's unlucky, go out." ”

Liu Wei smiled and said, "Why is it unlucky for me to cook some food with my mother." ”

Empress Dowager He glanced at him, smiled more, and said, "You, be less busy with government affairs, and give birth to a prince as soon as possible." Speaking of which, at this point, you really don't look like your father at all......"

To what extent is Liu Bian's cheap dad lustful and lewd, just give an example - he ordered all the palace maids to wear open crotch pants, so that he can estrus anytime and anywhere!

Liu Wei shook his head secretly, but he didn't care too much about this, observing the expression of the Empress Dowager He, and suddenly said: "Queen Mother, there is a rumor outside the palace, saying that the father left some edict, and the edict is Liu Xie's succession. ”

Empress Dowager He paused, then with a gloomy face, turned around, and did not hide the killing intent in her eyes, and said, "Who passed it on?" This palace razed his nine clans! ”

Liu Wei looked at her expression, sighed in his heart, and said, "Is there really this edict?" ”

"Nope!"

Empress Dowager He snorted coldly and said: "This palace has never heard of any edict from the first emperor, and your father only has one edict, that is, the edict orders you to be the crown prince and inherit the throne!" ”

Liu Wei looked at Empress Dowager He's expression and became suspicious in his heart.

Empress Dowager He's reaction seems to be true, but if his cheap father really left an edict, it should be given to the Empress Dowager Dong or Jian Shuo and other twelve permanent servants, not to Empress Dowager He or He Jin.

Besides, it seems very abnormal that it has been so long before it suddenly appears.

Empress Dowager He stared at Liu Wei and said, "Bian'er, if someone really wants to spread such rumors, his heart can be punished and must not be forgiven!" ”

Liu Wei nodded quietly and said, "I have ordered Zuoli to mobilize three thousand people and arrange them in the entire Luoyang. ”

Empress Dowager He relaxed, snorted coldly, and said, "I told you a long time ago that the old woman and Liu Xie can't stay, you are soft-hearted, and you will kill them now!" ”

The corners of Liu Wei's face couldn't help but twitch, doesn't this mean that he has that edict and gives the truth in vain?

He hurriedly said: "Queen Mother, the water is boiling and coming out......"

Empress Dowager He frowned, and complained a little: "This is not like your father, who is he going to kill, with a look, Zhang asked them to kill." ”

Liu Wei saw that she did not insist, and breathed a sigh of relief.

How many bastards did that cheap dad do, he couldn't finish it, and he could still learn from him?

The faint monarch of the Han Dynasty, he can't say that he doesn't rank first, right?

Before leaving, the Empress Dowager He still pulled him and said in a low voice: "It doesn't matter if Liu Xie kills or not, the key is that you have to have a prince." I have selected some good families for you to enter the palace, don't always soak in Tang Ji's palace if you have nothing to do, you can't give birth to children for more than half a year, I hurt her in vain......"

Only then did Liu Wei understand why the relationship between Empress Dowager He and Tang Ji seemed to have suddenly become estranged.

"Got the queen mother." Liu Wei shook his head secretly and couldn't wait to leave.

Empress Dowager He didn't nag this time, and when he walked away, she suddenly became indifferent and ruthless.

A palace maid not far away strode over, bowed her head, and waited for orders.

Empress Dowager He's eyes were indifferent, her tone was cold, and she said: "Send a message to He Miao, let him do it cleanly, and go back honestly after doing it, there is a little rumor leaking, don't blame me for not thinking about brother and sister!" ”

"Yes." The palace maid responded and stepped back silently.

Empress Dowager He stood at the door, looking in the direction of Shou'an Palace, her eyes cold.

Before Liu Wei returned to Jingfu Palace, a small broken step from the middle yellow gate greeted him and said, "Your Majesty, Xun Shangshu has been waiting." ”

Liu Wei snorted and strode back.

"Your Majesty."

As soon as he returned to the door, Xun You raised his hand and said.

Liu Wei waved his hand and said, "The Qing family comes in, and everyone else goes out." ”

In the study, Liu Wei and Xun Yu sat opposite each other, muttered slightly, and said: "The Qing family was originally a staff member of the General's Mansion, have you ever heard about the edict?" ”

Xun You was stunned, immediately shook his head, and said, "The minister has never heard of it. ”

Immediately, his expression was solemn, and he said: "Your Majesty, these are nothing more than excuses for the rebels to rebel, Your Majesty is the concubine of the Middle Palace, and the succession is natural, it is indisputable, the government and the opposition are known, and the world wants it!" Your Majesty doesn't need to care, the first thing is to quell Yuan Shu and other rebellions. ”

Liu Wei smiled and said, "What the Qing family said is true." The Qing family is still waiting for me so late, what's the matter? ”

Seeing that Liu Wei was no longer pursuing it, Xun You's heart was secretly relieved, he paused, and said more and more gloomy: "Your Majesty, the fourth and third princes of the Yuan family, protégés and former officials are all over the world, Yuan Shu's rebellion, there will inevitably be many people to follow, not only in Yu and Yang, but also in other states and counties, and the ministers are afraid that other states and counties will follow and cause trouble in the world!" ”

Liu Wei looked at him and said, "What the Qing family said is deeply in line with my intentions. I also took this into consideration, so I ordered the states outside Yuzhou to stand still and focus on stabilizing the states. ”

Xun You raised his hand and said, "Your Majesty, the minister is worried that Dong Zhuo will not do his best, and it is likely that he will support his troops and respect himself as he did in Bingzhou, and listen to Xuan or not." ”

Liu Wei's eyes narrowed slightly, and said, "This time, I can't help him." Yuan Shu's rebellion has been planned for a long time, if he can't defeat Dong Zhuo in a short time, he will definitely collapse! ”

Xun You thought about it, but still admonished: "Your Majesty, please Yanzhou Cao Cao lead his troops south, attack from three sides, and pacify Yuan Shu as soon as possible!" ”

Liu Wei shook his head and said: "Qingzhou is undecided, Jizhou is still in turmoil, and Cao Cao can't leave Yanzhou." ”

Xun You looked at Liu Bian, and a trace of inexplicable weirdness arose in his heart.

His Majesty seems to be right, and the reason is sufficient, but Xun You always feels that there seems to be some other purpose in it.

Xun You pondered for a moment and said, "Your Majesty, Shang Shutai has sent a letter to all states, asking them to take that document seriously and prepare their armies for war. Qian Zhuang raised 130,000 yuan, and was ready to take out half of it as money and food for this expedition. ”

Liu Wei picked up the teacup and took a sip lightly, and said, "I still have to remind the Qing family to conquer the rebellion and hand it over to the Great Sima Mansion to deal with." Shangshutai should focus on promoting reform, eliminating maladministration, clarifying the rule of officials, and summing up lessons and lessons so that they can be popularized in an all-round way. ”

When Xun Yu saw Liu Wei say this, he became more and more suspicious in his heart.

Yuan Shu's rebellion can be said to be unprecedented, even if His Majesty in front of him had expected it and made arrangements, such a calm reaction was too abnormal!

"Your Majesty!"

Without waiting for Xun You to speak again, Pan Yin hurriedly came in, handed over a playbook, and said, "Hanzhong's emergency playbook." ”

'Hanzhong? Sun Jian? Doubts flashed in Xun You's eyes.

Liu Wei stretched out his hand to take it, raised his eyes and swept it, then looked at Xun You, and said lightly: "Sun Jian's recital said that thousands of people appeared out of nowhere in an attempt to attack him, but they have been repulsed at present. ”

Xun You was stunned and said puzzledly: "It's a Qiang person?" No, Zhong Tingwei went to Sanqiang twice and had already persuaded them. Besides, it's a cold winter, and the road is closed by heavy snow, what are they doing in Hanzhong? There is no such big bandit problem in the state......"

Liu Wei put down the notebook, his face was expressionless, and a murderous intent appeared in his heart.

Xun Yu was puzzled, he knew it very well in his heart.

It was the Yizhou pastor who couldn't sit still and began to be tempted!

Looking at Xun You's expression, Liu argued: "It's not Sanqiang, it's just some bandits, Sun Jian is enough to deal with it." Over there in Jizhou, the Qing family has to worry a lot, and the salt administration cannot afford to lose! ”

Qian Zhuang originally had a great future, but with Yuan Shu's chaos, it could not spread around, and Luoyang City would not have too much if it was squeezed dry.

Xun Yu knew that Hanzhong was not simple, and seeing that Liu Yan didn't say much, he vaguely guessed that it was Liu Yan, so he had more and more headaches, and raised his hand and said, "The minister's decree." ”

Liu Wei snorted, carefully calculated the situation, and said calmly: "The Qing family doesn't need to worry too much, the overall situation is still controllable." ”

Xun You was not as optimistic as Liu Wei, the situation became more and more complicated and severe unconsciously, he thought about it, raised his hand and said: "Your Majesty, please go to Yangzhou." ”

Liu Wei shook his head and said, "Persuade Han Fu?" Not necessarily. I have my own considerations for this matter, and the Qing family must also concentrate on the affairs of Shang Shutai. ”

Xun You looked directly at Liu Wei, the weirdness in his heart was even stronger, but he couldn't think of why, so he had to say: "The minister's order." ”

Liu Wei nodded, looked at Pan Yin, and said, "Please come to see me." ”

"Yes." Pan Yin responded.

Seeing this, Xun You got up and said, "The minister retreats." ”

Liu Wei stretched out his hand and picked up the notebook beside him, which was on Huangfu Song.

The content is mainly about the 'military general system'.

Since the Qin Dynasty, although it is said that it is divided into civil and military affairs, it seems clear but not so clear, mainly because military generals also pay attention to their backgrounds, and all kinds of famous generals will soon be integrated into the 'civil official system' in various forms even if they occasionally come from poor backgrounds.

The Han Dynasty now has too much power over the state pastor, the taishou, and the county commander, and has both military and political power, and is a large and small prince in one place, forming an independent kingdom. Within the 'kingdom', everything is a hall of words, with the right to soldiers and taxes, absolute power over subordinates, and disobedience to superiors.

This is also one of the reasons for the rapid decline of the Han court.

Huangfu Song's recital proposed a civil and military division system, and established a military rank independent of civil officials.

This is also in line with Liu Bian's thoughts.

Liu Wei watched quietly and analyzed the pros and cons.

Two days later, Sanyang County.

Cao Cao came back from the suppression of bandits in Taishan County, holding two official documents and two official documents in his hand, and walked into his temporary Wuwei General's Mansion, but did not go back to the backyard, but went straight to Guo Jia's small courtyard.

The two sat down, Cao Cao had a gloomy face, staring at the two official documents and documents on the table.

Guo Jia had already seen it, observed Cao Cao's face, and said, "I remember, the general and the Yuan family seem to have a disagreement?" ”

At the beginning, it was Cao Cao and Xu Rong who joined forces to break through Runan County and wiped out the Yuan family to the three clans.

Cao Cao's eyes flashed, and he said: "Last year, I was the captain of Nangong and framed by the Yuan family, but fortunately, Your Majesty was able to get out of it. ”

Guo Jia heard this, glanced at the two inscriptions, and said: "Han Fu's official document is to invite the general to participate in the grand event, and also appoint the general as the pastor of Yanzhou. In the official document of the imperial court, the general was asked to stand by the whole army, and it was implied that the general would play. What does the general think? ”

Cao Cao snorted coldly and said in a deep voice: "Chaotic ministers and thieves, everyone will be punished!" Fengxiao, I want to write to Your Majesty, please lead the troops to recruit Yuan Shu, and I will never return to the dynasty if I win! ”

Guo Jia looked at him, took a sip of wine, and said: "In this official document, the imperial court only asked the general to stand by with the whole army, and did not send the general to Yuzhou, doesn't the general have any ideas?" ”

Cao Cao raised his head, his eyes were puzzled, and said, "What does Fengxiao mean?" ”

Guo Jia looked at the map behind Cao Cao and said, "I speculate that the imperial court may still be worried about Qingzhou and Jizhou, and the general is on standby, not going south, but going north." ”

Cao Cao's long and narrow eyes flashed with wisps of essence, and said, "You mean, I should go to the book and ask for my life to go to Jizhou?" ”

Guo Jia shook his head and said, "The general should ask for an order to go south, but in my estimation, the general will return to Yanzhou sooner or later, even if he is not a state pastor, he is better than a state pastor." ”

Cao Cao pondered on his face and said, "Or is it because Yanzhou is an important place for soldiers?" ”

Guo Jiadao: "Yuzhou is in chaos, and the importance of Yanzhou is becoming more and more prominent. If Yanzhou is not lost, the division will be stable, and if Yanzhou is lost, the Han family will be in danger. ”

Cao Cao understood, and said in a deep voice: "Fengxiao, you say, can Dong Zhuo pacify Yuan Shu and Han Fu?" ”

Guo Jia drank the wine, a trace of strangeness flashed on his face, and said, "I always feel that something is wrong." Han Fu is a protégé of the Yuan family, and the chaos in Yuzhou has already appeared, why did the imperial court send Han Fu as the pastor of Yangzhou, and how could His Majesty agree? ”

Cao Cao was stunned, slowly tightened his brows, and then looked indifferent, and said, "Isn't it that there are remnants of the Yuan family in the imperial court, secretly fornicating with Yuan Shu?" ”

If you want to say that the closest relationship with Yuan Shu in the imperial court, it is none other than Prime Minister Yang Biao.

Yang Biao is the son-in-law of the Yuan family, Yuan Shu's own uncle, and Yuan Shu's father, Yuan Feng's brother-in-law!

Guo Jia still shook his head and said: "The prime minister has always been wise to protect himself, and doing so is tantamount to digging his own grave, making the Yang family follow in the footsteps of the Yuan family, he will not be so stupid." I can't figure it out. ”

Guo Jia couldn't figure it out, and Cao Cao was also puzzled.

The two were silent for a long time, but Cao Cao still said: "Ignore these for the time being." Feng Xiao, can Dong Zhuo pacify Yuan Shu? ”

Guo Jia drank wine, his face was a little drunk, and said: "Yuan Shu has the merit of destroying the eunuch party, and he is the son of the Yuan family, the world is salty, Yuzhou is the Yuan family has been operating for many years, and Yangzhou is the depth, Dong Zhuo has just arrived, and it will be difficult to win in a short time." ”

Cao Cao wrung his eyebrows deeply, Dong Zhuo can't win in a short time, that means that Yuan Shu will further sit bigger, Yuzhou will lose, not only Yanzhou is in danger, from Yingchuan to the north, Luoyang is close at hand!

"Gongsun Chan is a fierce general in Youzhou, with 20,000 elite soldiers, he can't win quickly?" Cao Cao asked a little unwillingly.

Guo Jia seemed to be reminiscing about the strength of the wine, and said after a long time: "General, don't underestimate Yuan Shu, let alone an army of 50,000, it is 100,000, and it is difficult to win in a short time." ”

The corners of Cao Cao's face were straight, and his eyes were angry and gloomy.

Guo Jia saw it clearly, and said with a smile: "The general doesn't need to worry, if the situation in Yuzhou is declining, it is not known if the imperial court will recruit the general to go south." ”

"I can't wait to raise troops to the south immediately!" Cao Cao's eyes burned.

Seeing that the rebellious ministers and thieves openly rebelled, where could Cao Cao endure it.

Guo Jia didn't say anything more, drinking wine, still wondering why the imperial court appointed Han Fu as the pastor of Yangzhou.

……

At this time, at the junction of Yingchuan County and Runan County, Gongsun Chan and Yuan Shu had already faced each other.

Yuan Shu personally led an army of 30,000 to the palace, and 5,000 people were the vanguard of the Pingyu school captain Liyi, and the troops were fixed.

And Gongsun Zhan's 20,000 army, equipped with 5,000 cavalry, stationed troops in Dingling, the two sides are far away, and the war is about to break out.

Gongsun Zhan's Fenwu General's Mansion.

The military Sima Yan Gang, the cavalry captain Zou Dan and others knelt down, their expressions were calm, and there was no tension before the big battle.

Gongsun Zhan's face was full of ravines and scars, he sat on the main seat, majestic and domineering, and said: "Everyone, you have all seen the orders of the imperial court, I want to defeat the rebels within ten days and capture Yuan Shu alive, what do you think?" ”

Yan Gang immediately raised his hand and said loudly: "The generals and soldiers are invincible, and the little Yuan Shu is no problem!" ”

Zou Dan was much more cautious, and said: "General, the Yuan family has been working in Yuzhou for many years, and the protégés and former officials can be seen everywhere. ”

Gongsun Chan nodded expressionlessly and said, "What Fengcheng said is reasonable. Ben Jiang has already found that Yuan Shu is only 30,000 people, and this time he came to Yingchuan to use me as a stepping stone to establish his reputation! ”

Yan Gang sneered and said, "Yuan Shu'er is just a lost dog, a remnant of the extermination, and delusional!" General, the last general asks for orders, leads 3,000 troops, and praises the general! ”

Gongsun Zhan smiled with deep satisfaction, but he didn't mean to underestimate Yuan Shu, and said: "Didn't he personally lead the army to destroy this thief after two days of fighting, and within half a month, stabilize Yuzhou and lay my immortal achievements!" ”

"The general is mighty!"

Yan Gang and Zou Dan raised their hands in unison and said loudly.

The soldiers of the guards listened to it, all smiling and full of confidence, as if they had eliminated Yuan Shu, with the ability of their general, it was just a trivial matter to be captured!

Sorry for being late.

Continue to work hard tomorrow!
