Chapter 154: Dangerous Moves
A few days later, Luoyang City, the Imperial Palace, the Imperial Historical Tower.
Liu Biao in the imperial history has felt tremendous pressure recently, not only for change, but also from various open and secret battles between the government and the opposition.
Hundreds of impeachment recitals are received every day, all over the imperial court and local governors, assassins, taishou, and generals at all levels.
What he has received the most in the past few days is the impeachment of Dong Zhuo, accusing him of holding back the army, sitting back and watching Yuan Shu plot rebellion, and he should be beheaded.
He looked at these impeachment notes and didn't know what to do with them.
First, the power of the Imperial Historical Observatory covers the whole country, and what can be actually operated is limited to the subordinates, and the officials of all sizes are subordinate to the bureaucracy, and the network of relationships is complicated, which is not something he can move lightly.
Second, he doesn't know what to do, like Dong Zhuo, Cao Cao, and Prime Minister Yang Biao and Zuo Cheng Wang Yun, what can he do? Simply pushed to the top, and if something happened afterwards, he had to be responsible.
Thirdly, Liu Biao also took into account his reputation and offended the government and the opposition, what else should this official do?
"Zhongcheng!"
A small official hurriedly came in, handed over an official document, and said, "Chen Liujun is here." ”
Liu Biao took it calmly, just looked at it, his expression changed suddenly, and said: "Supervising Yu Shi Jiang Sheng and more than ten people were killed by bandits?" ”
Then, his face condensed, staring at the official document, his gaze constantly changing.
This official document was written by the surviving histories, but the content in it was vague, vaguely pointing to someone in Chenliu County!
Liu Biao had a strong sense of uneasiness in his heart, Chen stayed on the side of Si Li and openly killed the imperial court officials, which meant that Jiang Sheng and the others must have found something, which led to the disaster of killing!
Liu Biao thought about it, but still felt that it was inappropriate, got up and walked out of the Yushitai, and went straight to Shangshutai.
After entering Shangshutai, seeing that it was busy inside, he came to the door of Prime Minister Yang Biao's room, and the little official hurriedly stepped forward and said, "Liu Zhongcheng, the prime minister has gone out of Beijing to inspect Sanfu." ”
Liu Biao suddenly reacted, remembered that Wang Yun had gone to Bingzhou, and asked, "Who else is in Shangshutai?" ”
"Xun Shangshu is here." The little official said.
Okay, too.
Liu Biao nodded, and turned straight to Cao.
Xun You's identity in Shangshutai is special, as if he represents the palace, and no one can underestimate it.
Liu Biao came to the door of Xun You's duty room and saw him writing and waiting quietly.
Not long after, Xun You's little official came from outside, saw Liu Biao, and hurriedly raised his hand and said, "I've seen Liu Zhongcheng." ”
Xun You, who was inside, raised his head when he heard the sound, saw that it was Liu Biao, put down his pen, greeted him, and said, "Liu Zhongcheng, this is?" ”
Liu Biao smiled slightly and said, "There are some things that need to be discussed with Xun Shangshu." ”
"Zhongcheng, please." Xun Yu turned around, and doubts flashed in his eyes.
Liu Biao is the middle of the imperial history, in charge of the imperial history platform, and his status is special, but he is low-key, never involved in the affairs of the imperial court, and seems to focus on the imperial history platform, which is rarely seen.
Liu Biao entered the room with a smile and sat down with Xun You.
After the little official withdrew from the tea, Liu Biao took a sip of tea and said with a smile: "Xun Shangshu's tea is from Yingchuan?" ”
Xun You didn't know the purpose of Liu Biao's coming, put down the teacup, and said: "Xia Guan doesn't understand tea, so Zhong Cheng smiled." ”
Liu Biao and Xun You were really not familiar with each other, and when they saw that they couldn't continue to greet each other, they took out the official document, handed it to Xun You, and said, "Xun Shangshu will take a look at this first." ”
Xun You had already prepared, took it and opened it, read it carefully, and was puzzled, and said, "What does Liu Zhongcheng mean?" ”
Liu Biao pondered for a while and said, "Xun Shangshu, I suspect that something happened to Chen Liu." ”
Xun Yu sighed in his heart, thinking about Chen's location, and said, "What is the specific matter?" ”
Liu Biao said: "I don't know for the time being. However, I sent the inspector of the imperial history in the past because someone impeached Zhang Miao for being related to Qiao Mao, and sent people to Chenliu in the name of 'investigating corruption', and not many people knew about it. ”
Xun You understood his words and said, "What does Zhongcheng mean, is Zhang Miao killing people and destroying his mouth?" ”
Liu Biao nodded and said, "I suspect that Jiang Sheng has found something." Chen Liu, maybe something big has to happen! ”
Xun You thought about Chen Liu, and then turned to Chen Guo and Dong Zhuo, who were close to him, his expression became solemn, and he suddenly said to the door: "Is Your Majesty in the palace?" ”
The little official pushed the door in and said, "Hui Shangshu, Your Majesty is not in the palace." ”
Xun You frowned and said to himself: "Your Majesty has been out of the palace a lot recently, is there something wrong?" ”
The little official listened and said, "The villain heard that His Majesty has recently gone to the forbidden army camp, Taicang, the arsenal, and the money village...... It seems that he still intends to go to Yuyuan Pass, but he was persuaded by Da Sima. ”
Xun You was stunned, then looked at Liu Biao, and said, "Zhongcheng, how about we go to see Da Sima together?" ”
Liu Biao thought for a moment and said, "Okay." ”
The two got up and walked around the Jiade Hall and came to the Great Sima Mansion.
Huangfu Song was also very busy, and the whole Han seemed to be in a war, the strategies and tactics involved in various wars, as well as the success or failure, and then the conscription, resettlement, money, food, pensions, etc., Huangfu Song couldn't wait for seventy-two hours a day.
The three of them sat down, and Xun You said directly: "Da Sima, Chen Liuzhang Miao may have any changes." ”
Huangfu Song's face was expressionless, his expression was cold, and he looked like the kind of person who was not easy to get along with.
He looked at Xun You, glanced at Liu Biao again, and said, "Zhang Miao is the opposite." ”
"What!"
Xun You and Liu Biao were surprised and unbelievable.
It's just a corruption investigation, how did it come to the point of rebellion?
Xun Yu calmed down violently, wrinkled his eyebrows, and thought: "It's probably related to the eunuch party or the Yuan family." ”
Recently, a series of broken incidents have been seriously investigated, and they have to be traced back to the eunuch party, He Jin, and the Yuan family.
Liu Biao glanced at him and shook his head secretly.
If the imperial court had dealt with it decisively and exterminated all the eunuchs and Yuan family's henchmen, where would there be these things today?
From the Yuan legacy to the bridge, the fall of Yanzhou three or four times, and then to the Montenegrin army's breakthrough of Jizhou, come and go freely, the weakness of the imperial court has been exposed again and again, how can ambitious people still sit still?
Liu Biao felt that the imperial court was too weak, and if he kept the place, even if he did not rebel, he was afraid that he would stand on his own.
"Zhang Miao led an army of 10,000 and is heading towards Luoyang." Huangfu Song said lightly.
Xun You and Liu Biao were shocked, their mouths open, and they couldn't say a word.
They could guess that if Zhang Miao was opposed, he must have colluded with Yuan Shu, and they couldn't have imagined that this Zhang Miao would actually send troops to Luoyang!
"Then, what should Da Sima do?" Liu Biao only felt that his mouth was dry, and his heart was flustered.
There is almost no defense between Luoyang and Chenliu, and if there is really a large army coming, it can be driven straight into Luoyang City and hit Luoyang City!
Xun You saw Huangfu Song's indifferent expression, and said, "Da Sima has already dealt with it?" ”
Huangfu Song said: "Zhonglang General Zhao Yun led 10,000 troops and has already left Beijing. ”
Xun You looked at Huangfu Song, and a strange flash flashed in his eyes.
Da Sima Mansion's reaction was a little too fast?
"Zhao Yun?"
Liu Biao was a little skeptical and said, "He is a fledgling, can he win?" ”
Huangfu Song didn't speak, his expression was cold, as if he was rejecting people.
The corners of Liu Biao's mouth moved, and he turned to Xun You.
Xun You silently calculated and said, "Da Sima, did you give Cao Cao an order?" ”
Huangfu Song said: "Cao Cao should leave." ”
Xun You's heart relaxed and said, "That's okay." ”
"Does Your Majesty know this?" Liu Biao suddenly asked.
Xun You also looked at Huangfu Song, Liu Wei has often been out of the palace recently, and the frequency is a little unusual.
"Xu Huangmen went." Huangfu Song said.
Xun You thought for a while, raised his hand and said: "Regarding Yuzhou, dare to ask Da Sima if there are any new countermeasures?" ”
Huangfu Song's face was expressionless, he groaned for a while, and said, "This, Xun Shangshu needs to ask Your Majesty." ”
Xun You frowned, and his eyes moved slightly at Huangfu Song. He had a lot of questions about the Yuan Shu rebellion and the court's response before, as if there was a kind of connivance.
Xun You didn't say much, and left with Liu Biao.
Not far from the Great Sima Mansion, Xun You suddenly whispered: "Liu Zhongcheng, investigate Zhang Miao, do you mean?" ”
Liu Biao was stunned and said, "Someone made a complaint, so I sent someone to investigate secretly." ”
Xun Yu became more and more puzzled in his heart, nodded and didn't say much.
Puguang Temple, backyard wing.
Liu Wei got out of bed in a single dress, sat in front of the charcoal stove, and took a bunch of notebooks and official documents from Xu Yan's hand.
Xu Yan quietly glanced behind the curtain, there was a faint shadow shaking, and he bowed his head silently, not daring to look more.
The first recital, which is written by Yanzhou Mu Ding Yuan, is about impeaching Cao Cao, killing innocents indiscriminately, cultivating private individuals, supporting soldiers and self-respect, and so on.
The second way, Xuzhou Thorn Shi Taoqian's recital, asked the imperial court to send troops to support.
The third way, from the Qingzhou Mu Zhu Jun's recital, said that the Yellow Turban Army was recovering and asked the imperial court to increase troops and supply money, food, and military salaries.
Fourth, Youzhou Mu Liu Yu's recital, this recital is good news, Wu Huan, Xianbei and others withdrew their troops, and pleaded guilty, promised not to Koubian again, and can send troops to assist the Han Dynasty to quell the chaos.
Liu Wei looked thoughtful, and after a while, he picked up the official document again.
These official documents, which came from various departments of the imperial court and local officials, were distinguished from the official transcripts, and the events described were more detailed and mixed.
Liu Wei flipped through them one by one, picked up the pen, and replied to a few sentences from time to time.
"Huh?"
Suddenly, Liu Wei saw a letter from Lu Zhi, the pastor of the state, and after expounding on the reform of the state, he recommended Liu Bei as the minister of Peng Cheng at the end.
There is also a detailed resume of Liu Bei attached to the back, especially his military exploits, which is densely packed and has written more than a dozen lines.
Liu Wei's eyes narrowed slightly, and he leaned back.
Cai Wenji got dressed and came out, sat next to Liu Wei, saw him with a happy face, and said with a soft laugh while pouring tea: "What is your majesty happy about?" ”
Liu Wei took the teacup and said, "Well, Chen Liutai guarded Zhang Miao and rebelled, and he was sending troops to Luoyang." ”
Cai Wenji's face stiffened, what kind of joy is this? Seeing the teasing look in Liu Bian's eyes, he rolled his eyes angrily.
Liu Wei smiled and sorted out the notebook and official documents, handed them to Xu Yan, and said, "Tell Da Sima to follow the established strategy." Zhang Liao was about to leave Youzhou, and sent a message to Da Sima, ordering Zhang Liao to garrison Jizhou and obey Xun Yu, the commander of the Su Prefecture. Inform the official Cao that I have approved the appointment of Liu Bei. ”
"Yes." Xu Yan took the notebook and lowered his head. He didn't dare to see Cai Wenji from beginning to end, His Majesty the Emperor went out of the palace to meet the widow privately, if this was spread to the palace, it would not cause big trouble!
