The first year of Yonghan, mid-December.

Liu Wei returned to Luoyang City, but he did not enter the palace for the first time.

Outside the Imperial City, an inconspicuous teahouse.

In the private room, it is warm as spring, neither hot nor cold.

Liu Wei was dressed in a single shirt, holding a letter in his hand, and his face was strange.

Sitting across from him was the former Sikong, Liu Hong.

Liu Hong is also a member of the old Liu family, and Ding Gong, Liu Yu was the 'third duke' at the beginning of Liu Wei's accession to the throne.

Later, in the matter of the Yuan family, Ding Gong was confused, and Liu Hong followed him to 'Zhishi'.

The reason why Liu Biao's expression is strange is because of the letter in his hand, and the signature of this letter is: Yang Biao.

But if you look closely, you will find that it is a parody of handwriting.

Compared with two years ago, Liu Hong was too old, with gray hair and a tired face, so he bowed down and argued with Liu: "The minister knows that someone pretended to be the prime minister to lure the minister into Beijing, but the minister had to come." ”

"Can you guess who did it?" Liu Wei turned a deaf ear to his words and raised his eyelids to look at him.

Liu Hong said: "The minister can't guess. ”

Liu Wei couldn't guess either.

Liu Hong's entry into Beijing was a sudden act, on the surface, it seemed that Wang Yun had invited 'cheering', but in fact it involved Yang Biao.

'Who could be the person behind this......?'

Liu Wei thought of many people for a while, but he had no way to conclude, suddenly his eyes moved, and said: "Recently, many people in the imperial court have recommended Liu Yu to return to the court and serve as the left servant, what do you think?" ”

Now there is only one prime minister left in Shangshutai, and there are vacancies on the left and right, Yang Biao advocates 'inaction', and filling the vacancy has become a top priority.

Liu Hong's face did not change, and he bowed and said: "The minister is not in the court, so he doesn't dare to speak falsely." ”

Liu Wei looked at him quietly and said, "Does the Qing family have any intention of resurrecting?" ”

Liu Hong raised his hand and said, "The minister is old and frail, and his energy is no longer what he used to be, so I am afraid that he will not be able to share his worries for His Majesty." ”

Liu Wei handed the letter on the table to Pan Yin, looked at Liu Hong and said, "Since the Qing family said so, I will not be strong." ”

Liu Hong saw that Liu Wei was leaving, his expression changed sharply, and he said to the ground: "Your Majesty, what Wang Yun did, although it is a tricky means and ill-intentioned, but the establishment of a prince is the foundation of the country, which has been the same since ancient times, please think twice!" ”

Liu Wei paused, turned his head to look at him, and said lightly: "Zhu Wang Yun and the three clans, can't you stop you from talking about the abolition of the establishment in private?" ”

Liu Hong's expression did not change, and he didn't dare to say it again.

Liu Wei snorted coldly and turned to leave.

Out of the teahouse, Liu Wei got into the carriage and came out of the city.

I saw Cai Wenji with a few palace maids, watching his father's carriage go away from afar.

Cai Yong was stripped of his official position and demoted to a concubine, which can be said to be an unprecedented blow, and he was ill for many days.

Under the persuasion of many people, he sighed for a long time and decided to go to Beijing to study.

Liu Wei came to Cai Wenji's side, hugged her waist, and said: "The national ruler has a broad temperament, and he is good at fame, I did this to protect him, otherwise I wouldn't know if I was used as a gunman one day." ”

Liu Wei also had a feeling, his uncle who was a big general was being played with and didn't know it.

And Cai Yong is far worse than He Jin.

Cai Wenji pursed her lips, turned her head to look at Liu Wei, and said softly: "Your Majesty, Yang'er ......"

Liu Wei smiled slightly and said, "I named him 'Shao', naturally I have high hopes. It's just that there are too many people in the government and the opposition, and I'm worried that some old things will happen again. ”

Cai Wenji and Liu Wei are also old husbands and wives, and many things, especially about 'Liu Shao', are very open.

After Cai Wenji encountered Wang Yun's incident, she also felt afraid in her heart, and when she contacted the 'witch curse' when she was Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, she was even more delicate and cold, even if she was reluctant, she still bit her lip and said in a low voice: "Your Majesty, do you want to put the sheep outside the palace?" ”

Liu Wei was stunned, thought about it, shook his head, and said, "Let's take a look." ”

Liu Wei actually grew up in the house of Shi surnamed Daoren outside the palace, known as 'Shi Hou', mainly because he was worried that he would not be able to support him in the palace.

Cai Wenji hummed softly, looking at his father's carriage that had disappeared from sight, worried about his child.

And at this moment, Tang Mao came out of Yongle Palace, looking somewhat bad.

After Wang Yun was defeated in recommending Liu Shao as the crown prince, Tang Mao felt that his grandson had hope, and actually quietly contacted him.

It is conceivable that he ran into walls everywhere, and the Empress Dowager He did not give him a good face.

Out of Yongle Palace, Tang Mao was still unwilling, and turned around to go to Yong'an Palace to see his daughter Tang Ji.

Xu Yan didn't know where he suddenly came out, and said with a smile: "Tang Gong, the forbidden place in the deep palace, you can't walk around." ”

Tang Mao has always looked down on eunuchs, and with a belly of fire, he said without a good face: "I have a gold medal from His Majesty, why can't I enter?" ”

"Can you bring it?" Xu Yan asked.

Tang Mao snorted coldly, took it out of his arms, and said, "You can check it." ”

Xu Yan took it, looked at it seriously, and nodded: "It's indeed true." ”

Tang Mao stretched out his hand and was waiting for Xu Yan to return it to him, but saw Xu Yan slowly and leisurely into his arms.

Tang Mao's expression changed immediately, and he shouted: "This is His Majesty's royal gold medal, you dare to hide it even if you have a small yellow door?" ”

Xu Yan just smiled and didn't speak.

Tang Mao stared at Xu Yan, her face changed, her eyes widened, and she was full of surprise and doubt.

Seeing that he understood, Xu Yan's smile disappeared, he took a step forward and said in a low voice: "Private words are abolished and disturb the dynasty." Tang Gong, Wang Yunyi, Cai Gongshu people out of Beijing, which one do you choose? ”

Tang Mao was no longer stunned, but frightened.

He already fully understood the meaning of Xu Yan's words.

Tang Mao's hands couldn't help but tremble, and said, "Your Majesty, this is, what does Your Majesty mean?" ”

Xu Yan stepped back and said with a respectful face: "The villain didn't say anything. ”

The corners of Tang Mao's mouth twitched, and he couldn't say a word.

Xu Yan waited for a while and said, "The villain has prepared a carriage for Tang Gong, Tang Gong, please?" ”

Tang Mao moved his steps with some difficulty, and his face was stiff and not smiling.

After walking for a while, Xu Yan said again: "Tang Gong, if you want to enter Beijing in the future, please say hello to the villain first for reception." ”

Tang Mao's face was like ashes, and the pride that had not been surging for a long time was wiped out in this silence.

At the same time that Xu Yan sent Tang Mao out of Luoyang, Wang Yun was transferred from the heavenly prison to the Tingwei Mansion.

There was no prisoner cart, but a tightly enclosed carriage all around, surrounded by torturers, servants of the Imperial Governor's Mansion.

"Wang Yun, you should die!"

Suddenly, more than 20 people poured out of nowhere, chasing the carriage and scolding.

"Why are you cutting me!?"

"What crime have I committed, you want to remove my officer!"

"Wang Yun, you have abused your power and disrupted the country, and your crime is extremely evil!"

These people have obviously been officials, and in a table of words, they are decent and very particular about scolding, and they will not throw stones and rotten eggs like ordinary people.

Xing Cao, the servants of the Tingwei Mansion were very nervous, and they were secretly on guard.

Wang Yun in the carriage had an indifferent face, and his eyes were resentful.

When he arrived at the Tingwei Mansion, Zhong Xuan personally escorted him and arranged him to a cleanest cell.

Wang Yun didn't care about any of this, and after sitting down, he stared at Zhong Xuan and said, "The old man asked you, does Your Majesty have an edict for the crown prince?" ”

Zhong Xuan frowned, completely unexpected, Wang Yun still refused to give up at such a time.

After a little groaning, Zhong Xuan said: "Prince, since ancient times, the East Palace has been taboo, and courtiers cannot say anything about abolishing it. ”

Wang Yun snorted coldly and said, "The East Palace is the foundation of the country, if it is not established at this time, when will it be?" ”

Zhong Miao shook his head secretly and said, "Your Majesty has no will, but you are not allowed to talk about the prince again." ”

Wang Yun was a little distracted, and immediately knelt on the ground with a puff, and shouted: "Your Majesty, you are confused......

Seeing this, Zhong Xuan didn't care about him anymore and left the cell.

Just a few steps away, a small official came over and said in a low voice: "Tingwei, the will of the palace has been issued." ”

Zhong Xuan was not surprised, and said: "You keep an eye on the prince, you can't do anything." ”

The little official hurriedly responded.

Zhong Xuan came out of the cell, received the will, and sent someone to inform the torture Cao, Yu Shitai.

The case is scheduled to be concluded tomorrow.

Yushitai, Xing Cao's reaction was equally fast, and under the attention of the government and the opposition, the three law divisions did not delay at all and quickly discussed.

The next day, the Tingwei Mansion opened the trial, but in fact, the charges had already been decided, and Wang Yun also admitted it, but it was just a formality.

Originally, Zhong Xuan and others were worried that Wang Yun would retract his confession, but everything went smoothly and unexpectedly.

When Zhong Xuan and others finalized the case and presented it to Chongde Palace, Liu Wei was talking to Huangfu Song.

Liu Wei smiled, breathed a sigh of relief, and said, "The doctor has determined that Lu Qing's family should be fine and can survive this winter." ”

Huangfu Song bowed down, but his heart was dignified, in terms of Lu Zhi's body, it was a matter of this year and a half.

Liu Wei took a sip of tea and said, "The Qing family said before, then Li Ru took refuge in Dong Zhuo? And Dong Zhuo is trying his best to win over Lu Bu, and Lu Bu and Ding Yuan are dissatisfied? ”

Huangfu Song solemnly raised his hand and said, "Yes." Your Majesty, Ding Yuan's situation is not optimistic, Sun Jian does not listen to his orders, and the minister is worried that Xuzhou will fall into the hands of Dong Zhuo. ”

Liu Wei didn't speak, looked out the door, and muttered in his heart: "This scene is getting more and more similar. ’

Before you know it, it's as if everything is back to square one.

Huangfu Song saw that Liu Wei was silent for a long time, waited for a while, and said, "Your Majesty, do you have to make some preparations?" ”

Liu Wei immediately came back to his senses, subconsciously hummed, and said, "What do you say?" ”

Huangfu Song looked at Liu Wei and said, "The suggestion of the Great Sima Mansion is to send Cao Cao into Langya County, give Gongsun Zan additional 10,000 troops into Runan County, and order Xu Rong to continue to advance southward and report on Dong Zhuo. ”

Only then did Liu Wei come back to his senses, scrutinize it carefully, shook his head and said: "Qingzhou is determined, Cao Cao can't leave, and he must not give Qingzhou bandits a chance to surrender and rebel!" ”

"As for Gongsun Zhan, hmph, the trick he played can't fool me! He now has at least 20,000 horses in his hands. ”

"Xu Rong can't continue to go south, I am ready and order him to adjust the defense with Zhang Liao. Zhang Liao supervised the military in Yanzhou, and Xu Rong was transferred to Jizhou. ”

Liu Wei looked at Huangfu Song and said thoughtfully.

Huangfu Song immediately raised his hand and said, "Your Majesty, isn't this just sitting and watching Dong Zhuo swallow Xuzhou?" ”

Liu Wei smiled faintly and said, "Don't worry about the Qing family, just Dong Zhuo, there are too many people who can treat him, and I have never taken him seriously." By the way, isn't Yuan Shao no one under him? Da Sima Mansion sent a letter to Hanzhong and temporarily transferred Guan Yu under Liu Bei to Yuan Shao. ”

"Your Majesty, are you really not going to make arrangements?" Huangfu Song still asked uneasily.

Once Dong Zhuo swallowed Xuzhou, his strength increased greatly.

Xuzhou is also a battleground for soldiers, so Dong Zhuo got this place, and the consequences are unimaginable!

Liu Wei smiled calmly and said, "The Qing family can rest assured, Dong Zhuo's ending is already doomed, and I have arranged it." ”

Huangfu Song was stunned, what does it mean that everything has been arranged?

At this time, Pan Yin came in, handed Liu Wei a notebook, and said, "Your Majesty, the trial of the Tingwei Mansion has been concluded, and the execution is scheduled for tomorrow." ”

Liu Wei rolled his eyes and put it aside, and said to Huangfu Song: "I never think that killing people can solve problems, but sometimes, it is true that some other problems can be solved by killing people. For example, recently, the government has been more than twice as smooth as before, and it seems that there are suddenly fewer things to do, and the efficiency book has doubled. ”

Huangfu bowed and did not speak.

Wang Yun's handling had a great deterrent effect on the chaotic court situation.

Liu Wei didn't expect Huangfu Song to say anything, looked at Pan Yin and said: "Send a message to Shang Shutai, ask the prime minister to lead the six Cao, always make a year-end summary, and make arrangements for next year's plan, and submit it as soon as possible." ”

"Yes." Pan Yin said.

Liu Wei took another sip of tea and said: "Qing family, the reform of the Great Sima Mansion should also be accelerated, especially the 'separation of military and government', which must be carried out in an orderly manner without delay. ”

"Command!" Huangfu Song bowed.

Liu Wei paused for a while, looked at Huangfu Song, and said, "Recently, the voice of Cao Cao's impeachment has risen again?" ”

Huangfu Song's expression was as usual, and he said, "It's all because of Xiahou Yuan." ”

Liu Wei snorted and thought about it: "Xiahou Yuan...... Cao Cao, what does Da Sima Mansion think? ”

Regarding the rescue of Xiahou Yuan, Cao Cao took a very 'arrogant' posture, and the letters to the Great Sima Mansion were all emphasizing Xiahou Yuan and his merits, and there was no intention of admitting guilt.

"The minister thinks that he must pay equal attention to grace and power." Huangfu Song looked directly at Liu Wei and said.

For Huangfu Song, who did the Jingguan thing, in order to quell the chaos, it was not a big deal to rob some of the family's money and food under the urgency of the situation. The key is that Cao Cao's attitude seems to be 'arrogant'.

Huangfu Song's meaning is very simple, before Liu Wei, he was too 'gracious' to Cao Cao, and blocked so many things for him, and now he has made great contributions, and it is inevitable that he will be pampered and arrogant.

Liu Wei nodded thoughtfully, and said: "Qingzhou has just been decided, and it will take at least two to three years to stabilize, Zhu Qing's family is not ruthless enough, and many things can't be done, Cao Cao ......"

Huangfu Song naturally understood it and said: "Your Majesty, Cao Cao is in Beihai Kingdom, Tuntian in Donglai County, plus the Yellow Turban bandits, the total strength may exceed 200,000. Beihai and Donglai County account for half of Qingzhou, surrounded by Jizhou, Yanzhou, and Xuzhou on three sides, which is a remote place. ”

"What is the idea of the Great Sima Mansion?" Liu Wei looked at Huangfu Song and said.

For the last dynasty, not only the emperor, but also the officials in the capital have always been vigilant against the feudal officials and generals who hold heavy troops.

And Cao Cao and Liu Wei are also a little tricky now, because he has become powerful.

Huangfu Song's expression became serious, raised his hand, and said: "Your Majesty, the minister plans to transfer Cao Cao to Jinan and order him to supervise the military of Qingzhou, so as to disperse his forces and weaken his foundation in Beihai and Donglai. ”

Liu Wei shook his head and said, "It's okay for other people, but it won't work for Cao Cao." ”

Huangfu Song paused and said, "Then, disperse his people? ”

Liu Wei was silent.

The reason why Cao Cao was able to become powerful is because this person is not only strong in himself, but also has enough personality charm!

This kind of person is simply a natural king in troubled times.

Such as Cao Cao, such as Liu Bei, and also like Jiangdong Sun's family.

Among the eighteen princes in history, these three people were just small minions, but these three people finally became their own powers, and at that time, such as Yuan Shao, Yuan Shu, Gongsun Zan and other powerful people were defeated one after another, in comparison, they were simply vulnerable.

Huangfu Song obviously felt Liu Wei's dilemma, and said, "Your Majesty, then, the Great Sima Mansion sent someone to take over his tuntian?" ”

Huangfu Song's purpose was to divide Cao Cao's forces and weaken his power.

Liu Wei thought about it again and again, and said: "Pan Yin, pass Cao Cao into Beijing." ”

"Yes." Pan Yin responded.

Huangfu Song didn't speak again, knowing that Liu Wei had his own arrangements.

Liu Wei sat up, his eyes flashed, and said: "The court is almost here, from next year, I will consider the acres of land in Sili Qingzhang, what do the Qing family think?" ”

Huangfu Song's expression changed immediately, he raised his hand and bowed, and said in a deep voice: "Your Majesty, the minister thinks that he is too anxious, it is better to wait for the world to be calmed down, and then it is not too late to implement it!" ”

Liu Wei looked at him and reached out to pick up the teacup and drink tea.

This kind of words, Lu Zhi persuaded him, Yang Biao, Xun Yu, Xun You, Zhong Xuan and others all persuaded him, thinking that it would be counterproductive if it was too manipulative.

Huangfu Song looked at Liu Wei and said, "Your Majesty, the implementation next year will be more than ten times more serious than Yuan Shu and others' rebellion!" ”

Liu Wei raised his eyebrows, went to the teacup next to his mouth, did not hide his suspicious face, and said, "It's more than that, right?" The seven northern states are all under the control of the imperial court, who else can rebel? ”

Huangfu Song's face did not change, his tone seemed to be stern, and he said: "The first time the minister met His Majesty, what he said was true, but he must be cautious in what he does!" The courage of the ministers, the defeat of Wang Mang, is not in the usurpation and rebellion, but in the manipulation of the deeds, which arouses the anger of the people. ”

Liu Wei's brows furrowed and wrinkled, but he still refused to give up.

Huangfu Song saw it, suddenly fell to the ground, and said: "Your Majesty, you are only twenty years old, and there is time, why be so anxious?" Isn't it a common saying that time is the enemy of everything? Your Majesty, please think again! ”

It was the first time for Liu Wei to see Huangfu Song like this, so he was vigilant in his heart, took a deep breath, stretched out his hand to pull him up, and said, "It's because I'm a little carried away." ”

From Huangfu Song's reaction, Liu Wei was horrified to find one thing, after being the emperor for a long time, he couldn't listen to other people's words more and more, and he was a little arbitrary.

This is a big no-no!

Seeing that Liu Wei had heard it, Huangfu Song felt a little relieved, sat down and sorted out his clothes, and said, "Your Majesty, this matter must not be reported!" ”

Liu Wei nodded and said, "I have instructed it, it should be fine." ”

Huangfu Song was relieved and said: "The minister recommended Shixie as the assassin of Jiaozhou. ”
