Chapter 285: The Game of Monarchs and Ministers
That evening, the Emperor's Mansion.
Huangfu Jianshou stood in front of Huangfu Song's bed, his face was sad, and his eyes were helpless and painful.
Huangfu Song's face was withered, his eyes were sunken, and he was already dying.
He was still holding on, slowly turning his head and looking at Huangfu Jianshou.
Huangfu Jianshou seemed to understand his eyes, and said softly: "The second brother hasn't replied yet, I guess I won't be able to come back." ”
Huangfu Song showed a rare smile of relief on his face, and said weakly: "I was always worried about him before, I was afraid that I wouldn't be able to protect him from his troubles, and I didn't know what he would do after I died." Now, I'm not worried about him. You must remember to be upright and impartial and diligent, and you will be fine. ”
The more grief the emperor shou, he said softly: "The child has written it down." ”
With the remnants of Huangfu Song, as long as Huangfu Jianshou and Huangfu Jianchang's eldest brothers are not involved in the crime of rebellion, they basically will not worry about their lives.
Huangfu Song looked at the eldest son quietly for a while, and looked out the door.
Huangfu Jianshou understood and said, "I have already sent someone to the palace, and Your Majesty estimates that there will be a while." ”
"It's coming." Huangfu Song's voice was a little low.
Without waiting for Huangfu Jianshou to reply, there was a sound of eager footsteps outside.
"So fast?" Huangfu Jianshou was very surprised, and hurried out.
Liu Wei hurriedly walked in a hurry, waved his hand to stop him from saluting, and went straight to the bed, sat down and looked at Huangfu Song's expression, and the words were stuck in his throat.
Huangfu Song has always been cautious in his words and deeds, and does not participate in the rights and wrongs of the court.
If Yang Biao stabilized the scholar clan, so that the families in various places still looked at the imperial court, and did not collapse quickly. Then Huangfu Song set up the military strategy of the Han Dynasty, because of his existence, the military equipment of the Han Dynasty was restored little by little, and the plans of the careerists were curbed.
In the Yonghan Dynasty, Huangfu Song was a well-deserved Optimus Pillar Stone!
Now, the oil that Huangfu Song saw was running out of light, and this Optimus Prime Stone was about to disappear.
Huangfu Song looked at Liu Wei, arched his hand with difficulty, and said, "Minister, thank your majesty for seeing him off." ”
Liu Wei didn't know what to say for a while, but suddenly remembered the matter of his two sons, was silent for a moment, and said: "I have two sons, one is stubborn and doesn't like words. Another...... The day is not a holiday, not a longevity. ”
Huangfu Song understood, and said, "Your Majesty is in his youth, so there is no need to worry about this. ”
Liu Wei subconsciously shook his head, not knowing where to start.
Huangfu Song's withered face vaguely saw something, and said: "Your Majesty is very important, and now the internal and external troubles are more dangerous than Zhongping, and the Han family is in Your Majesty, not in the descendants." ”
Liu Wei's expression changed slightly, nodded slightly, his hesitant face gradually became firm, he held Huangfu Song's hand, and said, "What the Qing family said is true." I'm thinking too far. ”
Huangfu Song's eyes were dim, his breath was even weaker, and he said: "In the past, the ministers felt that His Majesty thought too much, wanted too much, and sought stability and stability, which is not wrong. But it shouldn't be at such a time. ”
Liu Wei listened, and immediately thought of Zhuge Kongming, who was about the same age as him at this time.
Zhuge was only cautious in his life, although he achieved Liu Bei's achievements, but he did not realize their grand wish of the monarch and ministers to 'restore the Han family and return it to the old capital'.
Among them, the word 'cautious' made Zhuge Liang repeatedly frustrated.
"Are you saying that I lack sharpness?" Liu Wei looked pensive and said to himself.
Huangfu Song looked at Liu Wei and said, "Your Majesty, you might as well take a look at Cao Cao." This man is accustomed to taking risks, but he has repeatedly succeeded. ”
Liu Wei's eyes suddenly scorched, and his heart shook abnormally.
Huangfu Song's words woke him up.
I don't know if it's his character, or because of a series of difficulties at the beginning of his succession, Liu Wei has been 'seeking stability' and refuses to take any risks!
A smile appeared on Huangfu Song's face again, and he said: "Yes, the minister thinks that it is not a bad thing for Liu Yu to enter the Great Sima Mansion, but the minister always feels that Lu Zigan's ideas are the best, and Cao Cao is the most suitable person." ”
Looking at the Han dynasty and the opposition, it can be said that there are many talents, but there is a certain fault.
After the 'three masters' of Huangfu Song, Lu Zhi, and Zhu Jun, those who can provoke the beams, whether it is Shangshutai or Da Sima Mansion, are all 'young people'.
The biggest shortcoming of these people is their lack of qualifications.
The new prime minister Xun Yu is, and so is Cao Cao.
Liu Wei pondered and said, "Cao Cao...... I always felt that he had other purposes for seizing Qian County. ”
Huangfu Song seemed to take a few breaths, and said forcefully: "That is the most suitable place in the Great Sima Mansion." ”
Liu Wei understood what Huangfu Song meant, and seeing that he was about to die, he shook his hand vigorously and said, "Does the Qing family have anything else to explain to me?" ”
Huangfu Song couldn't feel his hands and feet anymore, and he could touch it, and said in a lower voice: "Your Majesty, then Liu Yan is about to die." Liu Zhangchen has observed, although he is a little cautious, but he does not have much talent. Let him go back, maybe he can stabilize Yizhou, and in the future, he must take back Yizhou without blood. The Sanqiang of Liangzhou is already struggling, and there is almost no threat to the imperial court, so Your Majesty does not need to care. Your Majesty, quickly destroy Yuan Shu, and use the power of thunder to shock the world. Otherwise, the northern states will collapse, the south will fall into a melee, and when it is time to take risks, the troops will take risks, and when it is time to be stable, they will also ......"
Huang Fu Song said and spoke, his voice became weaker and weaker, Liu Wei leaned into his ear, and gradually he couldn't hear his voice or feel his breathing.
Liu Wei slowly sat up straight, looking at Huangfu Song's closed eyes, silent.
Not far away, Huangfu Jianshou knelt on the ground and cried sadly.
Liu Wei sat for a long time, got up silently, and walked out of the ward.
He looked at the glare of the sun, and then slowly walked away.
Pan Yin, Dian Wei and others dared to breathe, their steps were as light as cats, and they were not far away.
"The funeral is complicated by Licao, and King Chen Liuwang is in charge and buried in the north of Bishan."
Before getting into the carriage, Liu Wei said to Pan Yin.
"The villain leads the way." Pan Yin hurriedly responded.
Such specifications are already extremely grand and beautiful.
When Liu Wei returned to the palace, the news of Huangfu Song's death spread throughout Luoyang City.
Huangfu Song's status has always been very special, quietly but in charge of the highest military institutions of the Han Dynasty, coupled with his outstanding military achievements, his prestige is unparalleled.
His death will certainly be a blow to the morale of the military, and it will also have a huge impact on the series of plans that are currently being implemented.
These are all later words, and the death of Huangfu Song attracted the attention of the government and the opposition.
Liu Xie got the will, took the officials of Licao, and quickly organized a funeral for Huangfu Song.
The specifications are very high, the same as the prime minister, but comparable to the prince.
At the funeral, Shangshutai, Yushitai, Da Sima Mansion, Xun Yu, who was about to become prime minister, and almost all the 'Yingchuan Party' were all in place, and there was no shortage of those six Cao Shangshu, Shilang, Tingwei, etc., who were neutral.
On the last day, Liu Wei in the palace and even the Empress Dowager He came in person, raising the specifications of this funeral to the top.
And for the gift of the Huangfu family, it is also quite a marquis, not only the Huangfu Jianshou attacked the title of Huangfu Song, but also gave another one.
Huangfu's family, one door and three marquis!
……
After more than ten days of hurriedness, Luoyang City was busy, and everyone's attention was removed from Huangfu Song's funeral and focused on Shangshutai.
More than a month has passed since Yang Biao Zhishi, but the will of the new prime minister has not been issued for a long time, which makes the government and the opposition quite suspicious and uneasy.
After Huangfu Song died of illness, the edict of Da Sima's appointment was also not issued.
The Royal Palace, inside Hong Lim Court.
Liu Wei was making tea, but the weather was getting hotter and he needed to wait until the tea was cold before drinking.
Not far away, Liu Shao and Liu Yu, the two little guys, were dividing things, all of which Tang Mao had always eaten and played, and the two little guys were slowly dividing, whispering to each other from time to time.
"...... the hell is a child?"
Liu Wei looked at them, picked up the teacup, and smiled to himself.
Xun Yu, Zhong Xuan, and Liu Yu sat opposite him, listening to Liu Wei's words, a little puzzled.
"Drink tea."
Liu Wei turned his head and smiled with the three of them.
Liu Yu picked up the teacup and took a sip, and when Liu Wei finished drinking, he said: "Your Majesty, Liu Biao, Yuan Shao, Gongsun Zhan, Sun Jian, Shi Xie, etc. from the south jointly played, requesting to send troops to extinguish the rebel Yuan Shu." ”
Liu Wei smiled faintly and said, "What, are they ready?" ”
Liu Yu listened to Liu Bian's words and didn't know how to answer.
The situation in the south was very complicated, and Sun Jian was busy expanding the area, colluding with Shixie, and disobeying the orders of the imperial court.
And Yuan Shao and Gongsun Zhan constantly rubbed against each other, and there were conflicts from time to time.
Liu Biao, with the identity of an angel and a 'royal clan', recruited talents in Jingzhou, hoarded money and grain, and his intentions were unpredictable.
And Yuan Shu married Lu Bu and indirectly formed an alliance with Dong Zhuo.
All parties have different thoughts, and most of them want to take the opportunity to expand their strength, but they are not really trying to eliminate thieves for the country.
Zhong Xuan was suspicious of Liu Wei's delay in appointing the prime minister and the great Sima, and he pondered for a moment and said: "Your Majesty, Liu Bei is persuading Lu Bu to surrender, and I heard that it has been quite effective. ”
Liu Wei glanced at him, picked up the teapot, and said with a smile: "Liu Bei, let's take a look again." ”
Zhong Xuan looked at Liu Wei suspiciously, and his heart was even more puzzled.
Xun Yu has been silent, seeing that Liu Wei seems to be 'not in a high mood', he said: "Your Majesty, the summer grain is imminent, but the south is in a hurry to send troops, and the ministers are afraid that they have other plans." ”
When Liu Wei heard this, he nodded and said, "Xun Qingjia's words are to the point. It stands to reason that at this time, they should grab the summer grain, and they seem to have discussed it, and they will play together, isn't it obvious? They have discussed, how to divide the territory? ”
Zhong Xuan's face changed slightly, and he said, "Your Majesty, it should be unlikely." ”
Those people in the south, each of them is not a simple person, how can they agree on it?
Liu Wei poured him a cup of tea and said lightly: "Shang Shutai and Da Sima Mansion jointly gave them an order, and no one was allowed to move!" ”
Xun Yu, Zhong Xuan, and Liu Yu all looked at Liu Wei together, and then glanced at each other, their eyes were confused.
It stands to reason that a fight in the south can attract the attention of the government and the opposition, and the imperial court can not take the opportunity to do a lot of things? Especially with the summer grain coming, many things that were not good in the past can be quietly completed under the cover of the Southern War?
Liu Wei took a leisurely sip of tea, looked at Xun Yu, and said, "Xun Qing's family, I heard that the acres of land in the northern states are decreasing, and the imperial decree has not played any role?" ”
Xun Yu bowed, looked unmoved, and said, "Yes." Hu Cao has found out that some big families bought land, but it was placed in the name of others, bypassing the restrictions of the imperial court order. ”
Liu Wei smiled and said, "Is there a way to restrict the purchase of land?" ”
Without waiting for Xun Yu to speak, Zhong Yu said: "Your Majesty, I'm afraid there are some difficulties. First, there are many wastelands and overgrown with weeds. Second, the number of young and strong people has decreased, and some acres of land that are not sold are wasted, and the livelihood of the people has been lost. Thirdly, if the big families of the scholar clan are self-cherished and unwilling to contribute money and efforts, the people are afraid that they will starve to death and corpses will be scattered all over the field. ”
Liu Wei looked at Zhong Xuan, suddenly turned to Liu Yu, and said, "What do you think of Liu Qing's family?" ”
Liu Yu furrowed his brows and said with a deep face: "Your Majesty, this is indeed not a long-term solution. But the court is in a difficult situation at the moment, and it is unable to resettle the victims and the people, so it is enough to wait for the court to ease up and place the people in a borderless land. ”
What Liu Yu said seems to make sense, but it is actually a joke.
Liu Wei was expressionless and said, "Qing family, how much will be the tax in the north this year?" ”
Xun Yu sensed something, and said in a hurry: "Back to Your Majesty, Hu Cao carefully calculated, it should be around 60,000." ”
Liu Wei sat up straight, raised his head, and said, "It's reduced again?" ”
Xun Yu bowed and said, "Yes." The northern states are plagued by banditry, spending more and more in various places, and it is necessary to return the money and grain borrowed during the suppression of bandits, and the minister expects that in the next five years, this figure will basically be maintained. ”
"The Qing family still hasn't made up their minds?" Liu Wei said suddenly.
Zhong Xuan's usual serious face, with an unprecedented condensation, rushed ahead of Xun Yu, and said: "Back to Your Majesty, the implementation of the 'New Deal' is not smooth, the acres of land have not yet been cleared, the households are not clear, and the orders of the imperial court are not enough in the county, so you want to ...... The minister believes that it is only possible to wait for the 'New Deal' to be at least half promoted. ”
Liu Wei did not refute, nodded lightly, and said: "The imperial power is not under the county ......."
Xun Yu, Zhong Xuan didn't dare to answer.
In fact, they vaguely knew in their hearts that the reason why the palace delayed the edict appointing Xun Yu as prime minister was because Xun Yu did not make a clear statement on the 'division of land' and came up with specific strategic guidelines.
Xun Yu and the 'Yingchuan Party' discussed the use of the word 'drag', taking the unfinished 'New Deal' as the main point, and repeatedly wrote to express their feelings.
Liu Wei has always stayed in the middle of these manuscripts and has not replied.
In short, the appointment of the new prime minister is a game between Liu Wei in the palace and the civilian official group represented by the 'Yingchuan Party' on the 'division of land'.
Liu Wei insisted that the new prime minister make a statement, and he did not issue an edict for so long, and his attitude was resolute.
However, the 'Yingchuan Party' believed that it was not yet time, and the imperial court was unable to do this at all, so it adopted the method of justification and delayed.
Liu Yu was listening from the sidelines, and he didn't know what Liu Wei was asking, Xun Yu, and Zhong Xuan were answering.
After Liu Wei seemed to say something to himself, the small pavilion suddenly fell silent.
The silent game continues.
"Father."
At this time, Liu Yu walked over, handed a piece of pastry to Liu Wei, and said, "Brother Huang asked me to give it to my father." ”
Liu Wei looked back at Liu Shao and saw that the little guy had big eyes and was looking at him quietly.
