In the imperial court, Cao Cao was quite jealous, and now Cao Cao is sitting in Qian County, with 50,000 troops, which has made the government and the opposition talk a lot.

When everyone heard the word 'Cao Cao', they instinctively became sensitive.

Xun You looked unkind and said, "What does Your Majesty mean?" ”

Zhong Xuan said: "Your Majesty has ordered the Great Sima Mansion to prepare a countermeasure. ”

Xun You looked serious and said, "If Gong Liu is ready to send troops, what are you going to do?" ”

Liu Yu advocated that 'quelling the chaos as soon as possible' is a matter known to both the government and the opposition, and once the matter is handed over to Liu Yu, it will inevitably be a big fight!

At that time, all the pressure will fall on the imperial court, or the Shangshu platform!

Xun Yu was not very flustered, and said: "There are still three months before the summer grain, and the variables of three months are too great, and look." ”

I don't know if it's the first 'and' that Xun You heard from Xun Yu's mouth, and his face couldn't help but have a hint of boredom, and said, "Don't you have a specific coping strategy?" Do you want to wait like this? ”

Seeing that Xun Yu was angry again, Zhong Yu hurriedly blocked in front of Xun Yu and said, "Gongda, Wen Ruo has not yet taken office, besides, the Great Sima Mansion still doesn't know what to do, and it's still too early to say this." ”

Xun You clearly felt that he was isolated.

With a flash of annoyance in his eyes, Xun Yu calmed down and said, "You always have a plan in your heart, right?" ”

Xun Yu knew that the eldest nephew was suppressing anger in his heart, nodded, and said: "After the summer grain comes up, the total number will not exceed 100,000 stones, in addition to the expenditures everywhere, there are still many shortfalls to be filled, especially the expenditure of the forbidden army camp, which accounts for more than half, and there is no money and food to supply the army to go on the expedition." ”

Xun Yu said very tactfully, and his attitude was very clear.

Xun You's face paleled slightly, and said: "I heard that the palace plans to put the profits of Shi Hou Paper and Qian Zhuang into the inner treasury?" ”

Xun Yu, as the head of the household, naturally knew about it, and said: "In recent years, the palace has been extremely frugal, not to mention the queen mother and the two mothers, even His Majesty has never changed a few clothes, and the food is even more frugal. His Majesty's intention is that in the future, the expenses of the imperial palace and the clan will be borne by the inner treasury, and will no longer be borne by Toso. ”

Although Xun You was reluctant to make such a large profit, he thought that he no longer had to support the palace and the clan, but he had made some money, so he nodded and said nothing.

Seeing that he had finally persuaded Xun You, Zhong Miao changed the topic again and said, "The 'Governance Outline' should be drawn up as soon as possible and sent to the palace, so as not to have too many dreams at night." ”

The patience in the palace is obviously to the limit, if they don't make a clear statement, Xun Yu's position as prime minister will still be in suspense.

"Okay, we'll re-examine it overnight." Xun Yu agrees that Xun Yu's ascension to the position of prime minister is undoubtedly the most important thing for them.

Not only him, but their Xun family and the so-called 'Yingchuan Party' are all very beneficial!

Their Xun family will leap forward and become the number one family today!

The glory of the four worlds and three dukes such as Yang and Yuan, their Xun family will only be stronger than them!

Xi Zhicai, as the imperial historian, didn't care too much about these, and when he saw that the uncle and nephew of the Xun family had bridged the differences, he got up and left.

Zhong Xuan also felt that they should be given space to be alone, and said goodbye.

The uncles and nephews of the Xun family were vaguely estranged, but they did not show their faces, and they talked to each other calmly, describing their thoughts on the 'Policy Outline'.

That night, Hu Cao and the officials Cao were brightly lit, and many figures from the government and the opposition came and went, making suggestions and suggestions on the new prime minister's 'policy outline', and checking and filling in the gaps.

Early the next morning, the freshly released 'Outline of Administration' appeared on Liu Wei's desk.

"It seems that they have to be pressured."

While drinking tea, Liu Wei flipped through the thick 'Policy Outline'.

There are basically no major changes in the front, and Liu Wei is looking for what he wants.

Sure enough, after the "Qingzhang Tianmu" and "Huding Registration" in the "New Deal", the sentence "The land and acres are unbalanced, and the doom needs to be rectified" is used to mention the point.

Liu Wei nodded secretly and said, "Let's issue an edict." ”

Pan Yin, who was not far away, stepped forward and said, "Yes." ”

With that, he turned and went out.

Liu Wei looked at this 'policy outline' and groaned.

The imperial court has basically completed the generational change, but there is only one piece missing-the standing reserve.

Liu Wei has a resolute attitude towards this matter and will not establish a reserve prematurely.

But the 'Yingchuan Party' made concessions, and he, the emperor, had to give something back.

Liu Wei thought about it for a long time, suddenly looked up with a smile, looked at Lu Yu who was writing seriously on the small table not far away, and said, "Lu Yu, I will Shao'er, how about fostering in your home?" ”

Lu Yu was stunned, and immediately raised his hand and said: "Your Majesty, there are no elders in the courtier's family, and I am afraid that I will not take good care of Your Highness." ”

Liu Wei looked at Lu Yu, nodded slightly, and said, "Say it casually." ”

If Lu Zhi is alive, it is indeed a choice.

Liu Wei looked around at the government and the opposition, as if there was no suitable one, waved his hand, and said, "Say it casually, busy with you." ”

Lu Yu stared at Liu Wei for a while, then withdrew his gaze and continued to write.

The prince was fostered in the people, and there was also a tradition in the Han Dynasty.

On the surface, it was 'for the sake of support', but in fact, it did not allow the prince to avoid the palace feud for the purpose of protection.

Liu Wei himself was fostered in the family of Shi surnamed Dao, known as 'Shi Hou'.

With Liu Wei in front, if Liu Shao is fostered outside the palace, it will have a 'self-explanatory' flavor.

There doesn't seem to be much of a good option, though.

Knock knock

Suddenly, there was the sound of hurried footsteps outside the door.

Pan Yin hurriedly ran in and said, "Your Majesty, Zhu Yuanjun, it's gone." ”

Liu Wei raised his eyebrows, his expression was suddenly lonely, and he sighed silently.

This is also something that has been expected for a long time.

Zhu Jun resigned repeatedly last year, and this year he couldn't support it, so Liu Wei took him to Beijing to recuperate, but in fact, those who had seen him knew that he couldn't stay up for long.

'Three Heroes' is really gone.

Pan Yin, Lu Yu saw sadness written on Liu Wei's face, and didn't dare to say anything.

After a while, Liu Bianchang took a breath, stood up on the table, and said, "Go and give it a ride." Life...... Liu Xie took Shao'er to Licao to clean up the aftermath of Zhu Qing's family. ”

"Yes." Pan Yin responded softly.

The palace knows this, and the palace is not slow.

Those who have the heart to curry favor with Liu Wei took the first step to go to Zhu's house to offer condolences; If you don't have that mind, it's a pity. And many big figures belonging to the same era have a kind of kinship, feeling that the years are ruthless.

Many high-level officials in the imperial court, with the death of Zhu Jun, contacted the court bureau, and vaguely felt that the Han Dynasty was about to leave the old and welcome the new.

When preparing for Zhu Jun's funeral, the palace made up for the prime minister, the left and right servants, and Cao Shangshu and other vacancies, and lowered them one after another.

Shangshutai, which has been vacant for more than a month, has ushered in a new owner.

Xun Yu is not as good as Yang Biao, he took the lead in carrying out drastic changes, opening up the direct connection between Shangshutai and Liucao, half of Liucao Shangshu was concurrently served by Shangshutai, and many government affairs were unimpeded, which greatly improved efficiency.

Yonghan 5th year, June.

Shang Shutai.

Liu Wei sat on the main seat, and the left and right were Xun Yu, Zhong Xuan, Xun You, and Sima Jun.

Xun Yu's face was tired, and he argued with Liu: "Your Majesty, regarding this year's cultivated area, the number reported by each state is too different, judging from the supervision of the Imperial Historical Observatory, from county to county, to state, and then to the imperial court, it has decreased layer by layer......

Liu Wei looked solemn and listened.

Xun Yu said a lot, and after he finished speaking, Zhong Yu saw that Liu Wei had no instructions, and continued: "Your Majesty, the summer grain is imminent, according to the estimation of Shang Shutai and Hu Cao, it should be much the same as last year." However, it was only June, and there was heavy rain everywhere, and the ministers were worried that it might be another disaster year. ”

The 'disaster year' is a catastrophe for the people, and for the imperial court, it is a major culprit that threatens the country!

Now it is directly reflected in the Han court, that is, the tax has been sharply reduced, and I don't know how much money and grain are needed for disaster relief.

Liu Wei looked at Xun Yu and said, "Liucao doesn't know the county level?" ”

In order to strengthen local control, one of the important contents of the 'New Deal' is to set up corresponding Liucao in prefectures, counties, and counties, which are under the dual jurisdiction of the local government and Liucao.

Xun You raised his hand and said, "Your Majesty, at present, you are still promoting the county level, and the county level involves too many people, and the number of officials who need to be selected is as high as tens of thousands, and Cao Cao is stepping up his efforts. ”

There are too many counties in the Han Dynasty, there are more than 100 counties in Sili alone, and there are at least 30 officials in a county, and under the superposition, it will be a very terrifying number!

With that, there is a bigger and bigger money every month.

Liu Wei pondered for a moment and said, "I told the Zhuqing family before, can I try to combine some counties?" ”

Zhong Xuan listened and said: "Your Majesty, this matter is also planned in Shangshutai, but when it comes to prefectures and counties, it must be carefully discussed with local officials and carefully planned. ”

Hebing County is concerned with the resettlement of many official hats and the people under the official hats, and forcibly promoting it will inevitably lead to chaos.

Liu Wei snorted and said to Xun Yu: "Everything is complicated, and the prime minister has worked hard. ”

Xun Yu has been sleeping less than two hours a day recently, and he is busy day and night, so he bowed down and said, "The minister doesn't dare." Your Majesty, the minister plans to go out of Beijing next month to inspect the summer grain in Yan and Hebei Prefectures, and inspect the progress of Qingzhang's fields. ”

'Qingzhang Tianmu' has been implemented for nearly three years under the circumstances of disturbance, but every time the figures reported, let alone Liu Wei, no one believes Liucao.

Liu Wei thought for a moment and said: "Prime Minister, should a special agency be set up to supervise this matter by special people, rather than the imperial court to promote it in general?" ”

Xun Yu's expression moved slightly, and he said, "What does Your Majesty mean, is it to send an envoy?" ”

Liu Wei blinked, his original intention was to set up a special team in the imperial court to specialize in this matter.

But Xun Yu's words reminded him.

The difficulty of 'Qingzhang Tianmu' is not in the imperial court, but in the locality.

If the local officials and families did not cooperate, no matter how hard the court tried, it would be in vain.

If you send an envoy, you can not only suppress the local county orders and guards, but also deter those families.

Liu Wei glanced at Zhong Xuan, Xun You, and Sima Jun, and said, "What do you mean?" ”

Xun You paused and said, "Your Majesty, if it is subordinate to Shangshutai, I am afraid that there will be insufficient ministers." If it's the Imperial Historical Tower, it's involved in political affairs. The ministers are invited, with the officials of the Imperial Historical Observatory as the deputies, to assist from the side. ”

Liu Wei was deeply impressed by Xun You's words, and said: "What the Qing family said is reasonable. Not only Yushitai, but also Liucao also sent people to follow and plan carefully. For those who resist the new policy, regardless of the size of the officials, if there is anything in Beijing, they will be dismissed first and then punished! ”

"Commandment!" Xun Yu, Zhong Xuan, Xun You, and Sima Jun raised their hands in response.

Liu Wei felt very comfortable, without the constraints of Yang Biao's old thing, he was really neat in speaking and doing things.

"What does the Sima Qing family think?" Liu Wei took Pan Yin's teacup and looked at Sima Jun with a smile.

This person has not been in good health recently, coughing from time to time, but he does not mean that he can't do it, he should be on duty, diligent, and never slack.

Sima Jun is a relatively special figure in the imperial court.

Sima Jun is more than eighty years old, he is the eldest elder of the Yingchuan family, Zhong Xuan, Xun You and others are barely considered sons, and Xun Yu, the prime minister in his early thirties, can be a grandchild.

Of course, just the age.

Therefore, the government and the opposition politely called Sima Jun 'Sima Gong'.

Sima Jun himself is very indifferent to power, fame and fortune, does not fight or grab, and rarely speaks to the court.

Therefore, even if he was born in Yingchuan, no one classified him as the 'Yingchuan Party'.

Seeing Liu Wei asking questions by name, Sima Jun's old face was like a loose face, without emotion, and said: "Your Majesty, the minister believes that the current priorities of the imperial court are to rule by officials and quell chaos. There must be a prioritization order, otherwise everything will not be accomplished. ”

Liu Wei looked at him and said with a smile: "What does the Qing family think about priorities?" ”

Sima Jun did not move, and said: "The minister thinks that the chaos should be quelled." ”

As soon as this sentence came out, Xun Yu, Xun Yu, and Zhong Yu all looked at him.

'Quelling the chaos first' is Liu Yu's idea, and he is not the only one, with the support of many generals, state pastors, and county guards, he seems to be a force of his own.

Xun Yu and the three of them were a little surprised, could it be that this Sima Jun fell to Liu Yu?

Liu Wei disagreed, and said: "Sima Qing's family said in detail......

Before Liu Wei finished speaking, Lu Yu suddenly pushed open the door and hurriedly ran in, his face was extremely solemn, and handed a letter to Liu Wei.

"Your Majesty, a secret letter from Danyang." Lu Yu came to Liu Wei and bowed, looking uneasy and his eyes flustered.

Liu Wei was a little curious, Lu Yu's heart followed his father's temperament, and he had always been calm, what made him so caught off guard and break in without knocking?

Xun Yu, Xun You, Zhong Xuan, Sima Jun and others all stared at the letter that Liu Wei received in their hands, and their hearts were full of suspicions.

Liu Wei opened the letter, just glanced at it and raised his eyebrows, and then kept raising his eyebrows.

This letter was sent by the spies of the Imperial City Mansion in the Yuan Shu Shogunate, summarizing the information during this time.

The first is that Yuan Shao did not send troops, but Sun Jian and Liu Biao joined forces to break through Danyang and besiege Yuan Shu in Huiji County.

The second is that Lu Bu worshiped Dong Zhuo as his father-in-law and sent troops to Langya County, and Sun Jian drew troops back to defend and repelled Lu Bu.

Third, Yuan Shu personally led the army and almost wiped out Liu Biao, and Liu Biao retreated to Yuzhang.

Fourth, as Sun Jian withdrew to defend Guangling County, Liu Biao was defeated and retreated, and Shixie, who was in Jiaozhi, knew that he could not do anything, so he actually retreated to Nanhai County. Yuan Shu effortlessly expanded the territory again, almost exactly the same as last time!

And the fifth one is the most interesting, I don't know who found a stone from the Yangtze River, with a natural 'saint' character on it, dedicated to Yuan after the operation, Yuan Shu was very excited, and actually thought about being the emperor!
