After Liu Wei left, under strong pressure, Shang Shutai convened a meeting again.

His Majesty in the palace told Shang Shutai almost directly that he was very dissatisfied with Shang Shutai and began to take measures.

For Shang Shutai, this is like 'bad news'.

Waiting for Liu Xie, who was in charge of the Yushi Terrace, Wang Lang, the Tingwei Mansion, rushed over, and in the Shangshu Terrace, the 'Erfu' was gathered.

This is the Han Dynasty, the top management of the civil official group.

In the blink of an eye, when Zhong Xuan said that Liu Wei was in front of the Jiade Palace, everyone's expression was not very good.

His Majesty in the palace has always been gentle, and rarely confronts the courtiers, and it is the first time that he has expressed his attitude so nakedly!

Wang Lang, as a court lieutenant, was pulled into Shangshutai for the first time, and it is not surprising that as the former prime minister, he was vigilant and ostracized by the 'Yingchuan Party'.

It wasn't until Tingwei Zhongxuan's relays that he understood the seriousness of the matter.

'Your Majesty, are you suspicious of the Yingchuan Party? Wang Lang thought silently in his heart, and turned to think about the overall situation.

Adding Yuan Shao as the rear general and commanding all the troops and horses in the south to conquer Dong Zhuo, does it mean that the palace is completely disappointed in Cao Cao, and at the same time does not trust the ability of the Great Sima Mansion?

And Liu Xie, who is sitting at the bottom left of Xun Yu, has a special and prominent identity, and thinks more.

In his opinion, the Han Dynasty is divided into two, except for Cao Cao, everyone here is guilty!

He hid anger in his heart, and he didn't show it on his face.

In a silence, Liu Xie couldn't help it, and said: "Yuan Shao, Liu Biao, and Sun Jian's generation all have different intentions, even if they exterminate Dong Zhuo, there will be the next Dong Zhuo, this king suggests that the court should be the main one." ”

Everyone glanced at him, and Xun Yu said: "Your Highness, among the various roads in the south, in addition to Cao Cao's 30,000 soldiers and horses, Liu Bei has 10,000 in his hands, and Huang Zhong in Yanzhou has 30,000, how to dominate?" ”

Yanzhou can be said to be the gateway of the division, strategic place, Liu Wei in the suppression of Yuan Yi, Qiao Mao and other rebellions, Yanzhou to build Yanzhou, in the imperial court control of the states, only Yanzhou stationed more than 30,000 troops!

Therefore, the soldiers and horses of Yanzhou cannot be moved lightly.

In Xun You's words, the only people who can represent the imperial court to recruit Dong Zhuo are Liu Bei and Cao Cao.

Cao Cao's new defeat, morale plummeted, and he couldn't be counted on. And Liu Bei was unfavorable, was defeated by Lu Bu, and withdrew from Langya County.

Except for these two people, everyone here thought about it, as if, except for the big Sima Liu Yu personally led the troops, there were no other candidates?

In the Han court, there is a fault line in the generals!

Liu Xie couldn't help frowning, only then did he become alert, not only military generals, but also civil officials, since the former Prime Minister Yang Biao Zhishi, Shangshutai are all some 'young people' with no qualifications?

Xun Yu sat on the main seat, took in everyone's expressions, pondered for a long time, and said to Liu Yu: "Liu Gong, with Yuan Shao as the mainstay, cooperate with Liu Biao, Gongsun Zhan, and Sun Jian." And in the north, with Yanzhou Huben Zhonglang general Huang Zhong as the mainstay, cooperating with Cao Cao and Liu Bei, how about it? ”

When Liu Yu heard this, he thought for a while and said, "Liu Bei, there is nothing wrong with Cao Cao, but if you want to mobilize Huang Zhong, you must be attached to Bing Cao, or Your Majesty's will." ”

Zhong Xuan looked at Liu Yu, and suddenly had some realization in his heart.

This Great Sima's military power seems to have been severely restricted by the palace!

It is completely different from the previous Great Sima Huangfu Song!

You must know that when Huangfu Song was in power, the palace handed over all the military power to the Great Sima Mansion.

Seeing that they were still thinking about 'perfecting the will', Sima Jun had to speak up: "Princess, Your Majesty's meaning is very clear, the north will not move for the time being, and the imperial court will focus on the 'new policy', so don't make trouble." ”

This is the second time Sima Jun has reminded 'don't make trouble', and the warning implication could not be more obvious.

This 'branch' is not in the 'one house and two mansions', but in the palace.

If 'one machine and two mansions' still can't understand the meaning of the palace, then it won't be 'internal supervision' and 'Jingcha', or it will be the wrath of thunder!

Xun You glanced at him, couldn't help his anger, and said in a deep voice: "Sima Gong, that Yuan Shao, Sun Jian and Dong Zhuo are the same dog, the wolf ambition is obvious, the world is obvious, how can the court sit idly by?" ”

Seeing Xun You being so stubborn, Sima Jun shook his head lightly and sighed: "The old decay is not a holiday, I am afraid that I will not be able to continue to share the worries of His Majesty and contribute to the imperial court." ”

Xun You was furious, and couldn't help shouting: "You old ......"

"Sima Gong!"

Seeing that Xun Yu was about to burst out and tear his face, Zhong Xuan immediately interrupted loudly, and said to Sima Jun with a calm face: "Sima Gong, when the state affairs are difficult, how can Sima Gong say goodbye?" Everything can be discussed, and the prestige of the court must not be damaged. ”

Sima Jun didn't speak again, he could already see that there were also differences within the 'Yingchuan Party', and they were quite serious.

Liu Xie, Wang Lang, and Liu Yu saw them arguing, and quietly looked at each other, with a complicated and solemn look in their eyes.

The power of the imperial court is basically controlled by the 'Yingchuan Party', and if they can't make a decision, they will inevitably delay the big thing!

Wang Lang is a court lieutenant and a former prime minister, which is slightly embarrassing.

And Liu Xie's identity is detached, and he is in charge of the Yushitai, so it is not easy to intervene.

Liu Yu thought about it again and again, and said: "Although it can't be used, nominally, you can make some articles." ”

Xun Yu instantly understood what Liu Yu meant, and said, "Just say not moving?" ”

Liu Yu nodded and said, "In this way, it will not go against the will, but it can also give enough momentum." In this way, it may be able to accelerate the extermination of Dong Zhuo, and also deter those who have different intentions. ”

Xun You, Zhong Xuan, Sima Jun, Liu Xie, Wang Lang and others were a little uncomfortable with this proposal, but they couldn't find a reason to refute it.

Xun Yu was silent for a while, and suddenly said: "Afterwards, Yuzhou and Xuzhou will be in the hands of the imperial court!" ”

Liu Yu and Xun Yu looked at each other, slightly stunned, and then said: "What the prime minister said is true." ”

Yuzhou, Xuzhou, is now the dividing line between the north and the south, if Yuzhou and Xuzhou fall into the hands of careerists, they will directly threaten Si Li, threaten Luoyang!

This is something that the Han government and the opposition must not accept!

Although there were some twists and turns, on the matter of 'courting Dong', there was finally a consensus on 'one station and two governments'.

Immediately, the conference room of Shangshutai gradually quieted down.

The matter of 'discussing Dong' has been decided, and the next thing is that Liu Wei will talk at length about the 'New Deal' in front of the Jiade Palace.

His Majesty in the palace blocked the 'princes' of the current imperial court in the Jiade Palace, and said a series of words that clearly distrusted Shangshutai, such as 'changing the yuan', 'filling the gaps', 'Jingcha', and 'internal supervision'.

This is an unprecedented thing, even the previous 'Wuwei' prime minister, His Majesty in the palace has never publicly issued such a stern warning!

Zhong Xuan felt the stiff atmosphere and said with a smile: "The stagnation of the 'New Deal' is caused by many reasons, not that Shang Shutai is careless, and His Majesty also knows this. Many of the things mentioned by His Majesty are also the direction in which Shang Shutai solves the problem, and Shang Shutai has been planning since Yang Gong. Now that the summer harvest is coming to an end, some policies are just right to be promulgated. ”

Zhong Xuan's words are a step for Shangshutai, and an explanation for those present, to ease the contradictions inside and outside the palace and in the court.

With Zhong Xuan's words, everyone's faces were slightly pale.

Liu Xie exhaled lightly and said, "Princes, this king will act according to his orders, spread out the 'Jingcha', and conduct strict assessments on all officials, and please understand." ”

Once the Imperial Historical Observatory uses the power of 'supervision', the most affected is Shangshutai, that is, the 'Yingchuan Party'.

Liu Xie said uprightly and frankly, Xun Yu, Xun Yu, Zhong Xuan and others could only nod their heads to show their understanding.

Xun You, as the right servant and concurrently serves as the official Cao Shangshu, raised his hand and said: "Although Your Highness does something, the official Cao will fully cooperate." ”

Liu Xie smiled lightly at Xun You's cooperation, and he didn't take it seriously.

When it's really time to get serious, Xun You won't be so easy to speak.

Xun Yu couldn't deny this, and gradually had a plan in his heart, and said: "Let's get here today, tomorrow Shangshutai will convene the Six Cao Nine Temples to discuss the matter, and invite His Royal Highness, Wang Tingwei, and Da Sima to attend the meeting." ”

Liu Xie, Wang Lang, and Liu Yu naturally didn't say anything, and raised their hands and said, "Naturally." ”

This seemingly serious and depressing meeting is over here.

But everyone present is very clear that many problems have not been solved, and sooner or later there will be big problems!

Especially the attitude of the palace.

The crisis of the 'Yingchuan Party' came unexpectedly.

After Wang Lang, Sima Jun, Liu Yu, and Liu Xie left, only Xun Yu, Xun Yu, and Zhong Yu were silent for a while, and Xun Yu got up and said, "Come to my study to talk." ”

Zhong Xuan, Xun Yu nodded, and got up.

There are some things that cannot be openly declared, but they cannot ignore them, because after the conference, they will have a small meeting.

Inside the Chongde Temple.

After Liu Wei dealt with the accumulated affairs in his hand, he was also thinking about things inside and outside the palace.

Cao Cao's defeat was an unexpected event, but it also made Liu Wei soberly realize that everything would not develop step by step according to his expectations.

He's in a race against time!

"Your Majesty."

I don't know how long it took, but a light call made Liu Wei come back to his senses.

Liu Wei looked up at Xu Yan not far away, and with a hmm, he took the teacup and said, "Have they discussed it?" ”

"Yes."

Xu Yan stepped forward and relayed the process and results of Shang Shutai's discussion just now to Liu Wei as much as possible.

For Liu Yu's 'compromise' method, he frowned and drank tea noncommittally.

Xu Yan waited for a while, and hurriedly said, "Your Majesty, the Empress Dowager has not been in good health recently. ”

Empress Dowager Dong.

Liu Wei snorted and didn't care.

Xu Yan waited for a while and said, "Your Majesty, Bing Cao's Emperor Fu Shangshu seems to have some disputes with Da Sima, and he has been a little noisy recently. ”

These are for the sake of fighting for military power.

Liu Wei already knew, groaned for a while, and said, "Don't worry about it for now, let them make noise for a while." What's the news from Liu Bei's side? ”

Xu Yan paused and turned his head to look at Pan Yin not far away.

In the palace, there are several stewards and internal supervisors, Zuo Li is responsible for supervising hundreds of officials, and Pan Yin supervises the military situation in the world through the Imperial City Mansion, that is, Huangfu Song.

And Xu Yan gradually took charge of monitoring every move of the hundreds of officials in Luoyang City.

Liu Bei, a state pastor who led troops abroad, was under the jurisdiction of the Imperial City Government.

Pan Yin understood, stepped forward and said: "Back to Your Majesty, according to the will, Qingzhou Mu Sima Fang allocated 10,000 forbidden troops to Liu Bei, and at present, Liu Bei has 20,000 soldiers and horses in his hands, and he has been fighting with Lu Bu in Langya County, and there is no winner for the time being. ”

Liu Wei thought about it again and again, and said, "What generals and strategists does he have?" ”

Pan Yin said: "The generals are mainly two sworn brothers, Guan Yu and Zhang Fei. Counselors...... I heard that there are some businessmen who are footsteps, and some are some people left by the predecessor Xuzhou Mu Taoqian, such as Zhao Yu and others. ”

Liu Wei shook his head and said, "After all, he is still worse than Cao Cao." ”

As early as a few years ago, Cao Cao knew his shortcomings, put down his body, and thirsted for wise men everywhere. In the past few years, Liu Bei has been a little wasteful and has not recruited any talents.

Pan Yin, Xu Yan didn't dare to answer, Cao Cao was newly defeated, and although Liu Bei couldn't succeed, he also ushered in a lot of eyes from the government and the opposition.

Liu Wei drank tea and was silent.

Pan Yin waited for a moment and continued: "Your Majesty, the Great Sima Mansion is planning to transfer troops and send generals to arrange important passes near Luoyang and increase troops. ”

Liu Wei nodded subconsciously and said, "If they also use me to teach this, I will die after drinking some poisonous wine." ”

Pan Yin, Xu Yan listened to Liu Yan's casual words, his face turned pale with fright, he knelt on the ground, and said, "The villain is guilty." ”

Liu Wei frowned, waved his hand a little irritably, and said, "Okay, just step back if it's okay." ”

Pan Yin, Xu Yan was a little frightened, and slowly withdrew in a low voice.

Pan Yin withdrew, Liu Wei just wanted to pick up the notebook for review, and saw Pan Yin hurriedly come in, and said urgently: "Your Majesty, it's not good, Your Royal Highness has climbed to the top of the tree, and you can't persuade him to come down." ”

Liu Wei's face changed slightly, he threw down the music book and walked out, saying, "What's the matter, why did you climb to the top of the tree, where is it?" ”

Liu Wei's footsteps were fast, Pan Yin followed slowly, and said: "In Changle Palace, I don't know why, the palace maid said that it was for fun, the queen mother was frightened, and Tang Niangniang cried urgently. I didn't dare to shout loudly and persuade in a low voice, but His Royal Highness didn't listen at all. ”

Liu Wei's pace was faster.

When he arrived at Changle Palace, he saw everyone looking up at the top of the tree.

Liu Wei looked up and saw that at the top of the big tree, Liu Yu was holding two little arms, and his feet were a little thinner, swaying there.

Liu Wei was instantly frightened, ran over quickly, and said loudly: "Liu Yu, give me down!" ”

This sound made everyone look at it.

Empress Dowager He was anxious, slapped him on the chest, and said, "Be quiet, don't scare him." ”

Liu Wei didn't care, stared up, his temples kept agitating.

Liu Yu at the top of the tree turned his head, saw Liu Wei, and was about to turn around with a smile.

Liu Wei looked at the swaying branches, and his breathing stopped, and he couldn't help shouting: "You slow down, be careful." ”

Under the big tree, a group of eunuchs brought quilts and the like, held them high, and walked around towards Liu Yu.

The branches were too thin, constantly shaking, and the amplitude was still very large, and Liu Yu stepped on and grabbed it, which made the hearts of the people below tremble.

Cai Wenji, Liu Shao, Liu Jing and many internal supervisors and palace maids all came one by one.

Looking at Liu Yu at the top of the tree, Cai Wenji's face turned pale, and she hurriedly pulled Tang Ji, who was crying.

"Father, it's okay."

At this time, Liu Shao whispered beside Liu Wei: "The second emperor brother went up before, and he came down safely." ”
