"Shixie?"

Liu Wei thought for a moment and said, "I'll think about it again." ”

The power of the family in Jiaozhi is too great, and if Shi Xie is given the position of assassination in history, I am afraid that the entire Jiangdong may fall into the hands of the family.

Huangfu Song saw that Liu Wei did not agree, but did not continue to persuade him.

Since the middle of the year, the imperial court has been letting go of the wind and will change Jiaozhi to Jiaozhou, and order Shixie to assassinate Jiaozhou, but in fact, the imperial court has never formally discussed this matter.

Pan Yin quietly walked in from outside the door, handed over a recital, and said, "Your Majesty, the trial of the Tingwei Mansion has ended, and this is Zhong Tingwei's recital." ”

Liu Wei took it, glanced at it, put it aside, and said to Huangfu Song: "I went to Hanoi and waited for a trip, and found that the disaster seems to have worsened, and I am afraid that the life of the people will be also difficult next year, and I will further reduce taxes." ”

Huangfu bowed down and did not answer.

Further tax cuts mean that the already embarrassed treasury will be worse, which is undoubtedly not a good thing for the imperial court.

Liu Wei turned to Pan Yin and said, "Before the end of the year, I want to talk to the prime minister and the six Cao Shangshu again, and you arrange a time." ”

"The villain leads the way." Pan Yin said.

Wang Yun was convicted, and the 'redundant officials' he presided over naturally had to sink into the hands of Liu Cao.

Liu Wei thought in his heart, in this way, Liu Cao will actually grasp the real power.

……

In the first year of Yonghan, on the penultimate day of the year, Wang Yun was publicly disposed of.

The three tribes of Yi were affected, as many as 50 people.

Countless people applauded him and scolded him as a 'traitor to the country'.

There are also many people who cry out for Wang Yun, talking about Wang Yun's life, thinking that he is 'loyal to the country'.

Some great Confucians in the opposition commented on him as 'Wang Zuozhicai, proud of his talents, humble and virtuous, and high and inferior'.

No matter what the government and the opposition say, Wang Yun's disposal has indeed quieted the restless government and the opposition, and government affairs have been unprecedentedly smooth and efficient.

In the first year of Yonghan, it passed in peace and stability.

In the second year of Yonghan (191), the third day of the first month.

is still resting now, Liu Wei is relatively leisurely, and he 'slips' the child in the palace when he has nothing to do.

"Father's ......"

On the soft couch, the three children were crawling, surrounding Liu Wei, shouting indistinctly.

Liu Wei held the snacks in his hand and fed them one by one.

Liu Shao sat there, waiting for Liu Wei to be fed to his mouth.

The second son, Liu Yu, stretched out his hand and wanted to snatch it from Liu Wei's hand.

The eldest daughter, Liu Jing, stared at the two elder brothers, and then turned to Liu Wei, pouting from time to time, as if she could cry at any time.

"All of them, all of them ......"

Liu Wei smiled and divided the three children equally.

Liu Yu quickly finished eating, reached out and grabbed his sister, and his sister pushed away with her backhand.

Liu Yu was stunned, and then crawled to his brother and snatched food directly from Liu Shao's mouth.

Liu Shao's little face was calm, not ashamed or annoyed, and handed him what was in his hand.

Liu Yu took it, sat on the soft couch, and ate it in a big gulp.

"Here, drink some water, don't choke." Seeing his second son gobbling up, Liu Wei hurriedly poured him some water.

The little one sat still, stuck his head out, bit the teacup, and drank it.

Burst~

Suddenly, a long voice came from under Liu Yu.

Liu Wei tilted his head and looked at it, smiled angrily, and said, "You are all ...... up and down."

I had no choice but to talk to the palace maid on the side, "Clean up and take them back." ”

Yongning Palace, the palace maid of Yong'an Palace hurriedly came over, changed the diapers, scrubbed the scrubs, and took the three little ones away.

"Father...... Liu Jing said in a milky voice, stretching out his little hand to argue to Liu.

Liu Wei stretched out his hand and pinched her little face, and said, "Father will play with you again at night......

The little girl didn't know if she understood or not, and she was still holding her little hand.

Liu Shao's eyes widened and blinked occasionally.

Liu Yu lay on the shoulder of the palace maid, drowsy.

After the three little ones left, Liu Wei stretched his waist and sat down on the chair.

Pan Yin came in from outside at the right time and said, "Your Majesty, Cao Cao has arrived in Beijing." ”

Liu Wei stretched out his hand to pick up the teacup, his eyes moved slightly, and said, "Let him go back for the New Year, and talk about it after the New Year." ”

"Yes." Pan Yin said quietly.

At this moment, Cao Cao was standing outside the Vermilion Bird Gate.

He was much thicker than last year, with a thick beard and piercing eyes, waiting to be heard.

Click, click, click

There was a sound of the carriage gurgling, and Yang Biao's carriage stopped behind Cao Cao.

Cao Cao turned his head and saw a full eighty guards escorting, pennants lined up, gongs and drums opening the way, majestic and prominent, just an ordinary carriage in the center.

Cao Cao's long and narrow eyes flashed with a hint of discoloration, and he raised his hand unhurriedly, ready to salute.

Looking at Yang Biao, who had a big belly and a majestic face, opened the curtain and came down, Cao Cao's heart suddenly shook: Is this the prime minister?

"Cao Cao has seen the prime minister." Cao Cao raised his hand and bowed.

Yang Biao didn't even look at him, and with the support of the guards, he got out of the carriage with difficulty, sorted out his clothes, and raised his feet to enter the palace.

Cao Cao saw that Yang Biao ignored him, his expression remained unchanged, and he sent Yang Biao into the Vermilion Bird Gate.

When Yang Biao walked in completely, Cao Cao put down his hand, straightened up, looked at the honor guard staying outside the palace, couldn't help but be envious in his heart, and secretly said: "On another day, I, Cao Cao, will have a more majestic honor guard!" ’

A Zhonghuangmen came in a hurry and said to Cao Cao: "General Cao, Your Majesty is busy, Da Changqiu will send a message to you to come back after the year." ”

Cao Cao's expression did not move, and he raised his hand and said, "Your Majesty, do you know that I am here?" ”

Zhonghuangmen's face hesitated, and said: "General Cao, this is a difficult villain, the villain can only pass on words, and he can't reach the Chongde Palace." ”

Cao Cao was a little uneasy in his heart, nodded slightly, and said, "Then Cao Cao will come back after the year." ”

Zhonghuangmen responded, turned around and walked away quickly.

Cao Cao turned over and began to return home, not taking a few steps, his calm expression was suddenly solemn.

If you don't see him in the palace, maybe you're really busy, but it's also possible that you're dissatisfied with him!

Cao Cao subconsciously hit the horse hard, galloped through the streets of Luoyang, and went straight to the mansion.

did not make love with his wife and concubine, Cao Cao went straight to Guo Jia's courtyard.

Guo Jia was watching the servants clean up and drinking leisurely, when he saw Cao Cao's face was calm, he came in a hurry, and waved his hand to drive the servants away.

Cao Cao took off his cloak, looked gloomy, looked at Guo Jia and said, "Fengxiao, Your Majesty has never seen it." ”

Guo Jia sat opposite Cao Cao, took a sip of wine, and said with a smile: "If my expectations are good, the general's opportunity has come." ”

Cao Cao was stunned, hurriedly raised his hand, and said, "Please teach me filial piety." ”

Guo Jia put down the wine jug, his face became a little serious, and said, "Your Majesty's importance to the general is well known to the world. Now Dong Zhuo and Yuan Shu are constantly sitting big, and the imperial court is the time to employ people. It stands to reason that Qingzhou is inseparable from the general, but His Majesty still ordered the general to return to Beijing, which is to be of great use. Now that it's gone, it's all the more certain. ”

Cao Cao is also a smart person, he can penetrate it at one point, and his uneasy heart is gone, and he laughed and said: "If there is no filial piety, what should I do?" ”

Guo Jia didn't laugh, but said: "General, what are you going to do about Miaocai?" ”

Xiahou Yuan was escorted back from Jinan, Qingzhou, by the Great Sima Mansion, not to mention the heavy responsibility, and was sentenced to 'three years' by the Great Sima Mansion and locked up in prison.

Cao Cao's smile suddenly fell, and he said in a deep voice: "Miaocai once went to prison for me, and this time, he also suffered on my behalf, I can't sit idly by!" Tomorrow, I plan to visit Da Sima and argue with Da Sima. ”

"Da Sima won't let go?" Guo Jiadao.

Cao Cao looked firm and said: "Then I will be demoted to ransom, bankrupt, and I will not give up." ”

The so-called 'degrading atonement', simply understood, is a ransom to atone for sin.

Guo Jia's face became more serious, and said: "The matter of Miaocai seems to be too blatant, but in fact, it is also the dissatisfaction of the government and the opposition with the general's 'arrogance'. If the general insists on rescuing Miaocai, it is not only the Great Sima Mansion, Shang Shutai is dissatisfied with the general, and Zhu Yuanjun of Qingzhou will not agree either. General, this is to offend the government and the opposition. ”

Cao Cao didn't expect that a small Xiahou Yuan would have so many problems behind him, and he couldn't help frowning.

Guo Jia looked directly at Cao Cao and said, "Offending the Great Sima Mansion, Shangshutai, even if it is Qingzhou, it doesn't matter, as long as the general Jian is in the emperor's heart." ”

Cao Cao's long and narrow eyes flashed with a gleam, and he hurriedly said: "What does Fengxiao mean, is it that I asked to ask Your Majesty?" ”

Guo Jia said: "It's not a request. It's a confession. The general wants to take the responsibility of Miaocai for himself, and will explain all the actions of Qingzhou, and ask Your Majesty to exempt the general from the expedition to the north in order to atone for his guilt. ”

Cao Cao's eyes widened violently, and he looked at Guo Jia in surprise.

Make a clean breast of? Don't want the general to conquer the north?

Guo Jia picked up the wine jug, took another sip, half-lay down, and said, "It's been a bumpy road, you have to sleep well." ”

Cao Cao suppressed the vibration of his heart, and said with a smile: "Feng Xiao will rest first, and tomorrow I will have a banquet, please Feng Xiao have a good drink." ”

Guo Jia smiled and went straight down.

Cao Cao walked out of Guo Jia's courtyard, his face was calm as usual, and his heart turned upside down.

General Zhengbei, he spent half of his life and worked hard to get it, how could he give up easily?

But Xiahou Yuan grew up with him, blocked the knife for him, saved his life, he can't sit idly by, otherwise who would be willing to follow him Cao Cao?

"Husband,"

At this time, Mrs. Bian came in a hurry and said, "The concubine has been looking for you for a long time." ”

Cao Cao frowned, and said with a calm face: "It's such a big mansion, what's going on?" If you can't manage it, I'll let someone else take care of it! ”

Mrs. Bian was stunned by Cao Cao's sudden reprimand for slashing her head and covering her face.

But then he caught up with him again and said, "It's not the house, it's He Xian who is going to die." ”

Cao Cao paused, turned his head sharply, and said, "Wasn't it okay last year, why is he going to die suddenly?" ”

Mrs. Bian said: "I don't know about the concubine, I heard that she is very sick, and I am afraid that she will not survive these few days." ”

Cao Cao thought for a while and said, "You prepare some things, and I'll take them over for a visit." ”

Mrs. Bian responded and accompanied Cao Cao to the backyard.

Cao Cao entered the study, calmed down for a while, recalled Guo Jia's words, the corners of his face twitched again and again, and his long and narrow eyes were as cold as electricity, but he still picked up the pen and began to write a notebook.

Quickly wrote it and examined it again and again, Cao Cao still hesitated in his heart.

This invitation to the guilty book is up, and most of his generals who conquer the north will really be gone.

"Husband, you're ready." Mrs. Bian's voice sounded outside the door.

That's it. ’

Cao Cao was ruthless in his heart, picked up the notebook, walked out of the study, handed the notebook to the guard beside him, and said, "Send it to the Great Sima Mansion." Call Zixiao to come, and come with me to He Xian's mansion. ”

A group of people responded, and after some gifts, Cao Cao went out and went straight to He Xian's mansion.

He Xian, as He Jin's son, is also a very embarrassing existence in the government and the opposition.

Grandma doesn't hurt, uncle doesn't love it, and it's jealous of the government and the opposition.

was taught a lesson by Liu Wei twice, and he has been in the house since then.

When Cao Cao came to the door, he saw that it was deserted, and he could hardly see anyone visiting.

'Humph! ’

Cao Cao was also accustomed to seeing people taking tea and cooling, so he snorted coldly in his heart and went straight to the house.

Under the guidance of the servants, Cao Cao went straight to He Xian's ward.

There was a strong and pungent smell of medicine, and the irritated Cao Cao almost didn't go in.

But his face did not change, and he entered the door and came to the bed.

I saw that He Xian's face was pale and his eyes were dry, obviously dying.

"You, why did you do this?" Cao Cao was startled and hurriedly sat down next to him.

He Xian smiled hard and said, "I thought I wouldn't see you anymore." ”

Yin Shi on the side got up, wiped his tears and said, "The general will sit down for a while, and the concubine will go to make tea." ”

Cao Cao turned his head to look at her, and saw that she was wearing plain clothes, with a delicate body, and the skin on her face was like water, and she was extremely charming.

Cao Cao's heart suddenly suddenly, he quickly retracted his gaze, frowned and said to He Xian: "You are so sick, why didn't you write to me earlier?" ”

He Xian's dry hand pulled Cao Cao and said, "The doctors in the palace are in the house, they can't cure them, what's the use of telling you." Mengde, I only have one friend from you, and I have one thing to ask you. ”

Cao Cao held He Xian's hand vigorously and said in a deep voice: "Don't worry, your wife and children, I will raise them." ”

He Xian shook his head slightly and said, "My aunt and Your Majesty like He Yan very much, I'm not worried." I hope that one day, you will be able to bury me and my father in our hometown. ”

Cao Cao didn't expect this to happen, was silent for a moment, and said, "Okay." I agreed. ”

He Xian smiled and said, "Thank you." The things in my house, Meng De can take them all. ”

Yin came over with a teacup, handed it to Cao Cao, and said softly, "General, please drink tea." ”

Cao Cao got up, took the teacup, and said, "Sister-in-law has worked hard. ”

Yin Shi smiled reluctantly and said, "You talk." ”

Cao Cao looked at Yin's sad back, and felt great pity in his heart.

When Cao Cao turned around, he saw He Xian slowly closing his eyes, and there was no more sound.

Cao Cao's eyes widened slightly, and he stretched out his hand to reach He Xian's snort.

Retracted violently, Cao Cao's heart was suddenly extremely complicated, heavy and unspeakable.

He put down the teacup, came to the door, and saw Yin squatting at the door to cook medicine, sighed, and said, "No need to cook." ”

The spoon in Yin's hand fell to the ground with a thud.

He Mansion was immediately grieved and cried loudly.

The first person in the palace to get the news was the Empress Dowager He, who listened to the palace maid's advice, and suddenly collapsed on the ground, looking silent, and then couldn't help crying.

The relationship between the brothers and sisters of the He family is still very good, for He Xian, the Empress Dowager He has always taken good care of her, and after getting sick, the Empress Dowager He also visited several times in person, but she never thought that the person who was only in her early twenties would be gone if she said no.

"Help me, help me through." Empress Dowager He struggled to stand up and said urgently.

The palace maid supported the Empress Dowager He with all hands and feet and hurried out of the palace.

On the other side, the Great Sima Mansion had just received Cao Cao's petition for guilt, but Huangfu Song was on annual leave, and Lu Zhi was still sick, so he could only be hurriedly sent to the Chongde Palace.
