Chapter 273

Chongde Hall, apse.

Zuo Li stood in front of Liu Wei and said: "Your Majesty, Duke Liu came to Beijing from Youzhou, met with Ying Zhijun in Jizhou, met Liu Yuanjun in Yanzhou, and drank tea alone with Zhu Zhijun for half a day in Taishan County. The bell servant was greeted outside the city gate, and talked for a long time in the carriage. Not far outside the imperial city, he was intercepted by the prime minister and dragged to drink tea, but Zhong Fushu failed to go along. ”

Liu Wei held Liu Jing in his arms, listened to Zuo Li's words, thought for a moment, and said with a smile: "It seems that I am a little anxious." ”

Zuo Li bowed, not daring to say more.

The matter of 'transmutation' has long been boiling in the government and the opposition, and the court seems to be very calm, but in fact the dark tide is surging, as if everyone has their own plans.

"Wu Jing, what about Sima Jun and the others?" Suddenly, Liu Wei looked at Zuo Li Dao.

Zuo Li was just about to speak, Liu Jing suddenly got up, quickly put on his shoes, and ran straight outside.

Liu Wei was stunned, and he didn't have time to arrest him, so he could only shout: "Why are you going?" ”

The little girl didn't reply, and said loudly: "Brother Dahuang must miss me, I'll go to dinner with him." ”

Liu Wei sighed and shook his head helplessly.

His eldest son has been a stuffy gourd since he was a child, and he can only reply to you after asking him a few words. The second son was naughty but sick, and the whole palace was worried every winter. But this daughter, who is too optimistic, knows one word all day long: eat!

Zuo Li waited for a while, and said with a smile: "Your Majesty, Sima Jun, Wu Jing and the others have not moved, and they are very peaceful." However, Jizhou Ying Envoy Jun didn't seem to deal with Zhong Fuji, and said a lot of bad things in private. ”

Liu Wei snorted, thinking about the matter of 'transmutation'.

Not to mention that in the imperial court, the local feudal officials, large and small officials, have their own ideas about the court officials, and a considerable number of them support Liu Yu, and their voices have always been very high.

As for the 'transposition', it is Liu Wei's mind that has been hidden for several years.

Not only Liu Wei was dissatisfied with Yang Biao, but the government and the opposition never stopped attacking this 'inaction' prime minister.

It's just that everyone knows that this prestige is too high, and the prime minister's throne, during that time, no one can sit except him!

However, four or five years have passed, Liu Wei has firmly grasped the power, and the soldiers and horses in the northern states have gradually been properly arranged, and there is no need for people with enough fame to guard the imperial court.

On the contrary, he had to weaken the imperial court so that he could concentrate power in his hands and carry out his will!

Zuo Li looked at Liu Wei and pondered, waited for a long time, and said cautiously: "Your Majesty, Sima Shangshu, Zhong Fushu, Cai Gong, and Cao Cao, during this period of time, they all accepted concubines. ”

Liu Wei raised his eyebrows and looked at Zuo Li with some doubts.

Now these big people, seventy and eighty little girls of thirteen or fourteen are not strange at all, not only will they not be despised, but they will also be a fashion, which is sought after by the government and the opposition.

In his memory, Zhong Miao also gave birth to a little son in his seventies and eighties, and this little son is very amazing!

Zuo Li met Liu Wei's gaze and hurriedly said: "The villain remembers that His Majesty instructed Shang Shutai to strictly limit the number of wives and concubines for officials of all sizes in the government and the opposition. ”

"Hmm,"

Liu Wei thought about it, nodded and said, "There is such a thing." Wait for the new prime minister to take the throne. ”

After patting his buttocks, Liu Wei got up from the soft couch and walked to his desk.

Zuo Li bowed back, raised his eyelids, and observed Liu Wei's feet.

With Liu Yu's entry into Beijing, there was a dispute between the government and the opposition over the choice of the new prime minister, some people thought that Liu Yu was highly respected, and some people thought that Zhong Xuan, one of the leaders of the powerful 'Yingchuan Party'.

Zuo Li followed to Liu Wei's side, and he was also curious about the new prime minister.

He was next to Liu Wei, but from beginning to end, he couldn't guess who the new prime minister was.

Liu Wei sat down, and not long after reviewing the transcript, Liu Yu arrived.

Hong Lim Court.

Liu Wei sat in the pavilion, boiling tea while looking at the silver wrap in Fanglin Garden, and said with a smile: "Qing family, how do you feel about Fanglin Garden this winter?" ”

Liu Yu was full of worries, where did he care about this, but he still looked back cooperatively, and said: "It is very different from spring and summer, and it has a unique style." ”

The whole Han knows that His Majesty the Emperor loves snow and especially likes to walk with an umbrella on a snowy day.

Liu Wei looked at the bubbling teapot, picked it up and poured a few cups, tasted it gently, and said, "The Qing family has come all the way and met a lot of people, what do you think?" ”

Liu Yu's expression tightened, and he muttered again and again, and said: "Your Majesty, the minister thinks that the top priority is to pacify the south and completely suppress the rebellion. ”

Liu Wei was a little surprised, put down the teacup, and said, "Did the Qing family say that the first troops should be sent to quell the chaos?" ”

The top leaders of the Han Dynasty all knew one thing - the imperial court was weak, the treasury was empty, and they were simply unable to send troops.

Liu Yu raised his hand and said in a deep voice: "Your Majesty, the rebellion is uneven, and the world is not governed." The imperial court should do its best to quell the rebellion. Chaos must be in the heart, and the world will return to the heart! ”

Liu Wei's eyes narrowed slightly, he hadn't seen him for a few years, and this old lady seemed to be a lot more radical than before.

Liu Wei took a sip of tea, his heart moved slightly, and said: "Qing family, you tell me the truth, what is the situation of Wuhuan, Xianbei, Xiongnu, etc.?" ”

Seeing that Liu Wei did not agree, Liu Yu's brows moved slightly, and then said: "Your Majesty, Xianbei, Wuhuan is about to move, I am afraid that it will be connected with the rebellion in my Han Dynasty." The ministers tried their best to appease, but they did not dare to guarantee how long they would be able to live in peace. ”

Liu Wei had already read similar words in Liu Yu's notebook, his eyes were a little colder, and he said, "How much strength do they have?" ”

Liu Yu pondered for a moment and said, "The Huns, generally not a problem. Xianbei, Wuhuan, with more than 200,000 troops, thousands of miles away from Luoyang, is difficult to conquer, and please ask Your Majesty to pacify the main army. ”

"Two hundred thousand?"

Liu Wei was a little surprised, according to previous estimates, the total strength of the Yi tribe outside the country was about 100,000.

Liu Yu nodded and said, "Yes." Now there are no generals in Youzhou who are good at conscription, Xianbei, Wuhuan and others are becoming more and more arrogant, and the ministers cannot ensure that Youzhou will start the war again. ”

Liu Wei put down the teacup, his eyes flickering slightly.

What Liu Yu couldn't say clearly in the recital is now clear.

If Xianbei, Wuhuan and Xiongnu are to Koubian again, it will undoubtedly be a huge pressure on the Han court.

For the current imperial court, it just wants to be peaceful, wholeheartedly promote the 'New Deal', get rid of bad governance, restore people's livelihood, and let the Han slowly return to blood.

But it is clear that things have backfired, and unpredictable changes are taking place at home and abroad.

"What do Ying Qing's family and Zhu Qing's family think?" After pondering for a long time, Liu Wei picked up the teacup again and asked lightly.

Liu Yu saw a lot of big people along the way, and he didn't hide, and when he saw Liu Wei asking, he said: "Your Majesty, the situation in Jizhou is not very good, the people are displaced, and the people should be appeased with all their might, but there is no money and no food, and the officials are slack, and it will take time." The problem in Qingzhou was even more serious, the Yellow Turban Army rose and fell, the largest one last year was as high as nearly 30,000 people, many counties and counties fell, Zhu Lingjun was exhausted, and he could be stabilized. ”

The tea in Liu Wei's mouth lost its taste, and he was repeatedly scrutinizing Liu Yu's words.

The reason why Jizhou and Qingzhou are difficult to completely calm down is, to put it bluntly, that the imperial court has no money and food to help the victims, so it can only rely on local soft and hard measures to stabilize the situation.

But this kind of 'delay' will only accumulate public resentment, and once it reaches a certain critical point, perhaps the Yellow Turban Rebellion will rise again!
