Yonghan 5th year, August.

Luoyang, Imperial Palace, Hong Lin Yuan.

The scorching light was blocked by the layers of leaves, and it still flickered on the ground, and the cicadas chirped in bursts, telling the heat of summer.

Liu Wei paced, sweating on his head, looked up at the top of his head, and said: "According to what the Qing family said, the Great Sima Mansion believes that the 'separation of military and government' cannot be completely separated, and the local chief official should be given a certain amount of power, and the right to transfer it belongs to the Great Sima Mansion?" ”

Soldier Cao Shangshu Emperor Fu Jianshou followed behind Liu Wei, bowed, his expression was cautious, and he said carefully: "Da Sima's meaning is that the northern states are not calm, and in the future, to pacify the south, it is necessary to have troops to defend it, fight bandits, and stabilize the situation, so he put forward these requirements. ”

Liu Wei nodded slightly, came to the pavilion and sat down, and said, "Sit, take a sip of herbal tea, and speak slowly." ”

Huangfu Jianshou stood opposite Liu Wei and said, "The minister still stands and says, I'm afraid that I will forget when I sit down." ”

Liu Wei picked up the teacup and was about to drink tea, when he heard the words and glanced at Huangfu Jianshou.

Huangfu Jianshou seems to have inherited the cautious character of his father Huangfu Song, and in the imperial court, he kept a sufficient distance from the 'Yingchuan Party', and tried his best to stay out of the matter and not fight or grab it in the court.

Liu Wei took a sip of herbal tea, and his intuition spread from his heart and mouth to his whole body, which was very comfortable, and he shook his head and put down the teacup.

"I heard that Da Sima went to Shangshutai?" Liu Wei said casually.

Pan Yin on the side said: "Yes, I am discussing things with the prime minister." ”

Liu Bianmo rubbed the jade pendant in his hand, and his heart slowly turned.

Unlike Huangfu Song, who does not participate in the court and is isolated from the imperial court, Liu Yu, who is currently the Great Sima, has intervened in too many things, and has different views on the positioning of the Great Sima Mansion.

Liu Wei pondered for a moment, and said to Huangfu Jianshou: "What does the Qing family think of this discussion of Dong? ”

Huangfu Jianshou's eyelids quickly raised and glanced at Liu Wei, and said, "The minister deeply agrees with His Majesty's words of strategic contempt and tactical attention. ”

Liu Wei habitually snorted, and suddenly realized that Huangfu Jianshou had something to say, and said with a little curiosity: "What the Qing family wants to say, just say it directly, no need to scruple." ”

Huangfu Jianshou bowed more and said: "Back to Your Majesty, the minister has recently recruited a staff member, who is a famous man in Jingzhou, according to what he said, the arrangement of the imperial court is weak and weak, and unlike the crisis situation, it must not be because of the cowardice of the imperial court, nor is it caused by money and food, there must be other backers." ”

Liu Wei was surprised and said, "Kuai Liang? Liu Biao's former staff? What did he conclude? ”

Huangfu Jianshou's expression was slightly restrained, and he said: "Yes, the minister does not dare to hide it." According to his reasoning, the back hand of the imperial court will definitely be able to exterminate Dong Zhuo at a certain time. Among them, there are three people and one thing is the most critical, one is Cao Cao, the second is Liu Biao, the third is Yuan Shao, and one thing is in Donglai County, Jingzhou Sailor who is ignored by everyone. ”

Liu Wei's eyes narrowed slightly, and he smiled quietly: "The Qing family is a soldier Cao Shangshu, what do you think?" ”

Huangfu Jianshou obviously felt Liu Wei's change of topic, and suddenly knew what Kuailiang had deduced, and said: "Back to Your Majesty, according to the advice of the ministers, destroy Dong Xu's thunderous means, and use all the troops of Yanzhou to exterminate as soon as possible." ”

Liu Wei sighed silently, this Huangfu Jianshou's ability is still too far behind Huangfu Song, and he is too cautious, whether he should say it or not, what he says is empty.

"As for the division of powers and responsibilities between Bing Cao and Da Sima Mansion, I have read your transcript, and I will consider one or two more."

Liu Wei took another sip of herbal tea and said, "The Qing family's recruitment, training, deployment, armor and weapon development, total, and the reserve and allocation of grain and grass for the army...... I am very satisfied. Many of them require the cooperation of Shang Shutai, and the Qing family and the prime minister will discuss carefully and come up with an effective strategy for me. ”

Huangfu Jianshou raised his hand and said, "The minister's decree." ”

"Your Majesty," Pan Yin stepped forward quietly and said in a low voice, "General Cao Cao asks to see you." ”

Liu Wei snorted, and just as he was about to speak, another small yellow door came in a hurry, handed over an envelope with an ordinary appearance, but with a big 'secret' word, and said: "Your Majesty, the Huangmen North Temple Prison is urgently secret." ”

Liu Wei hurriedly stretched out his hand to take it, tore it open and pulled out the letter, and swept it seriously and quickly.

For a moment, his eyes opened, and he began to ponder.

This is a secret letter from Mianzhu in Yizhou, and there is a lot of content.

Liu Yan really couldn't do it, and after careful discussion with his staff, after determining that the imperial court would not release Liu Zhang, he came up with several strategies to 'rescue' Liu Zhang.

One is money and grain, which can give tens of thousands of money and grain to the imperial court in exchange for Liu Zhang.

If this is not feasible, it is the second one, give up Liu Yan and let Liu Zhang inherit the Yizhou pastor, and be appointed by the imperial court, but Liu Zhang must be the Mianzhu Taishou, and at the same time add the Yizhou general and supervise the affairs of Yizhou.

There is a third strategy, which is also the most ruthless, after the imperial court decides not to release Liu Zhang, Liu Yan will stand on his own before death, and after his death, Yizhou will be handed over to the local scholar leader Pang Ji.

This Pang nationality, Liu Wei has no impression at all.

But judging from these news, Liu Yan is really in a hurry to jump off the wall.

At the same time, Liu Wei also clearly realized that this kind of extremely confidential matter should not be passed out so easily and clearly, since it has been passed out, it is for Liu Wei to see!

Liu Wei pondered, and paid attention to the scattered news behind.

Yizhou is not very peaceful, in addition to the local bandits, there are also barbarians who are rebelling against Liu Yan's rule, attacking the state and county from time to time, shaking Yizhou.

"Minister Cao Cao, see Your Majesty!"

Cao Cao came 'suddenly' and saluted on one knee.

Liu Wei came to his senses, raised his eyelids, suddenly handed the letter over, and said lightly: "Take a look, tell me what you think." ”

Cao Cao responded, took it with both hands, read it carefully, his eyes flashed, and his face did not change: "Back to Your Majesty, Liu Yan is ambitious, and he must not be released to Liu Zhang." ”

"Go on." Liu Wei took a sip of tea herbal tea, and was also thinking in his heart.

Cao Cao stood in front of Cao Cao, Yu Guang glanced at Huangfu Jianshou, was silent for a while, and said: "Your Majesty, the minister thinks that Sanqiang should be solved first, and then Yizhou should be solved." Liu Yan is about to die, perhaps, the second strategy is feasible. ”

Liu Wei looked at him and was noncommittal.

Cao Cao's strategy was actually a forced compromise, or he was following Liu Yan's plan.

Cao Cao saw that Liu Wei didn't speak, his bearded face was hard, and he said in a deep voice: "Your Majesty, Liu Yan died of illness, or a good time to recover Yizhou, you should order Hanzhong Taishou to send troops and enter Shu!" ”

Liu Wei shook his head and said, "It is not advisable to attack Shu." ”

The most terrible thing in Yizhou is the natural danger, the imperial court sent troops to attack, not to mention that there is not enough money and food to support it, even if there is, it may not be possible to achieve it in three or five years!

Cao Cao did not speak again, and pleaded guilty.

"Give this letter to the Great Sima Mansion and Shang Shutai,"

Liu Wei handed the letter to Pan Yin and said, "I want them to discuss it properly and come to see me in the evening." Also, that Liu Zhang. ”

"Yes." Pan Yin responded.

When Pan Yin left, Liu Wei's eyes fell on Cao Cao and said, "Sun Ce fled back." The battle between Yuan Shao and Gongsun Zhan did not stop. Liu Biao withdrew his troops and consolidated the territory of Jingzhou. Shi Xie asked for the history of the assassination of the state. Liu Bei fought with Lu Bu several times and lost. ”

Cao Cao thought that Liu Wei would say something, but after waiting for a while, seeing that there was no way to speak, he hurriedly raised his hand and said, "The minister will live up to His Majesty's grace!" ”

For Cao Cao, Liu Wei didn't want to restrict him strategically and tactically, so he glanced at Huangfu Jianshou and said, "What do you need, tell Huangfu Qing's family, and cooperate with you as much as possible." In addition, Yanzhou Huang Zhong's soldiers and horses, you can call it, and you don't need to worry about the Great Sima Mansion. ”

Huangfu Jianshou's eyelids lowered, and if he had a will, he trusted Kuai Liang's inference more and more.

Cao Cao didn't expect that Liu Wei would give him so much power, which shows that His Majesty in front of him intends to quickly exterminate Dong Zhuo and pacify Yuzhou!

"Command!" Cao Cao raised his hand in response.

After Liu Wei's 'um', Cao Cao and Huangfu Jianshou left at the same time.

Liu Wei listened to their footsteps and pinched his eyebrows with his left hand.

Things get complicated.

Liu Yan revealed that these news came out, and it was clearly a threat to Liu Wei.

But Liu Wei must be scrupulous and take it seriously.

Liu Yan is about to die, and his only son Liu Zhang has been detained in Luoyang by Liu Wei.

If Liu Zhang doesn't go back, Liu Yan's long-term business will not be inherited, and he doesn't know what crazy things he will do.

Moreover, after Liu Yan's death, if there is a big chaos in Yizhou, it will be a big trouble for the imperial court no less than the rebellion of Yuan Shu!

"There are still three qiang ......"

Liu Wei opened his eyes, hugged the teacup, and muttered to himself a little irritably.

In Liu Wei's plan, in the priority sequence, Sanqiang is in front of Yizhou, and he is really forced to send troops, Liangzhou is a huge potential threat.

"Go to Shang Shutai."

After thinking for a while, Liu Wei got up and said.

A group of people surrounded Liu Wei, walked out of Fanglin Garden, and went to Shangshutai.

As soon as he passed through the Chongde Palace, Liu Wei saw that not far away, Liu Shao was holding a big altar, and a person, under the big sun, was waiting for him quietly.

Liu Wei was stunned, hurriedly walked over, and said suspiciously: "What are you doing here?" ”

Liu Shao was covered with sweat, his clothes were wet a lot, he raised the jar in his hand and said, "Father, the tea I brewed for you will go to the summer." ”

Liu Wei couldn't react a little, stretched out his hand to take it, felt that the altar was cold, looked left and right, saw that there was no inner supervisor and maid to accompany him, hugged him with one hand, came to the shade of the eaves, and said: "Just let people send it over, why did you run over, such a hot day, still standing in the sun......"

Liu Wei said, pulling his sleeves and wiping the sweat on his face.

The little guy didn't have any expression, tilted his face, and said, "I just came." ”

Seeing his serious nonsense, Liu Wei looked at the jar in his left hand again, and said, "Just made it?" ”

The little guy nodded, looking at Liu Wei with clear eyes.

Liu Bianben wanted to wait for him to speak, but after a while, he suddenly reacted and said, "Do you want your father to drink?" ”

The little guy nodded, and an expectant look appeared on his little face.

Liu Wei blinked his eyes, and Yu Guang saw people coming and going in the Jiade Hall not far away, so he had to reach out and open it, pick up the jar and take a sip.

After feeling it carefully for a while, he said to Liu Shao: "Well, it's a little bitter, and it's a little spicy." ”

After Liu Shao finished speaking, he snatched the jar from Liu Wei's arms and said, "Erchen retires." ”

Before Liu Wei could react, the little guy hugged the jar and ran away.

"Hey......"

Liu Wei put down his hand halfway through, sighed helplessly, and said, "I still want to say that the taste is good, you can drink it." ”

Xu Yan was on the side, and said with a smile: "Your Majesty, Your Highness has gone back to change it." His Royal Highness is at a young age, and he has a pure filial piety, which is really commendable. ”

Liu Wei smiled and nodded.

His eldest son, although he is a stuffy gourd, is impeccable in terms of filial piety.

"Let's go, the imperial kitchen can rest at night." Liu Wei waited for Liu Shao's back to disappear, and turned to the Yushitai with a smile.

Xu Yan laughed with him, and his heart quietly changed.

Regarding the ownership of the 'East Palace', the palace is even more anxious than the outside of the palace.

The second highness is mischievous and wins the sacred heart. His Royal Highness is the eldest son, but he has an eccentric personality, but he is simple and filial piety.

Who does this 'East Palace' belong to, even if it is Liu Bian's close ministers, no one knows Liu Bian's true intentions.

However, the two highnesses are getting older and older, and they can't escape the final decision after all.

Liu Wei didn't expect Xu Yan to think so much, and when he came to Shangshutai, a group of people were already here.

"Your Majesty, Ministers." Xun Yu, Liu Yu took the lead, Zhong Xuan, and Xun Yu greeted each other at the same time.

Liu Wei waved his hand and said, "Sit down, I believe you have seen it, let's talk about it." ”

As soon as Xun You sat down, he raised his hand first, and said in a deep voice without concealing his anger: "Your Majesty, Liu Yan's wolf ambition must not be tolerated!" After Liu Yan's death, His Majesty ordered the state pastor to be trusted, but if there was a rebellion, they would all be killed! ”

Zhong Xuan looked at him without moving, and did not speak.

Xun Yu was also silent.

Liu Yu couldn't help it, and said: "Your Majesty, it is not feasible to send troops to Yizhou at the moment, and the minister suggested that Liu Zhang be released, but the military power should be returned to the imperial court, and a general should be sent to supervise the military of Yizhou." ”

With Liu Yu's foreshadowing, Zhong Xuan answered: "Your Majesty, you may be able to do both, with Liu Zhang as the Taishou of Luocheng, Yizhou Mu recommended by Liu Yan, and Mianzhu and Chengdu Taishou appointed by the imperial court, and handed over the Sword Pavilion to the imperial court. ”

Liu Wei raised his eyebrows, Zhong Xuan's idea was interesting.

The Sword Pavilion is the main way to enter Shu, this place is in the hands, and the imperial court will attack and defend Yizhou.

And Chengdu and Mianzhu are in the hands of the imperial court, which is actually equivalent to dividing Yizhou into two, and half is in the hands of the imperial court.

Xun You shook his head and said, "Liu Yan has been operating in Yizhou for many years, and his ambition is like a wolf, so he will definitely not agree." ”

Xun Yu saw that there were signs of quarrel, and said: "Your Majesty, Liu Yan's second strategy, the imperial court appoints a state pastor, and Liu Zhang supervises the military, but it may not be impossible. Liu Zhang has no great talent, he can't succeed, the imperial court is slowly plotting it, and Yizhou is attached, but it is only a matter of time. ”

Liu Yu was dissatisfied with this appeasement policy, and said in a deep voice: "Your Majesty, it is necessary to deter, and it is necessary to deter, and it is necessary to deter. The minister asked Hanzhong Taishou to send troops, attack first, and then discuss. ”

Xun You followed closely and said: "Your Majesty, the minister agrees with Da Sima's intentions, and you can't let Liu Yan choose everything, doesn't it seem that the court is incompetent?" Now that Dong is about to be destroyed, the court can't weaken its momentum! ”

A look of condensation appeared on Zhong Xuan's serious face, and he hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, the imperial court can't withstand another big war, and it has to think about it in the long run!" ”

"Liu Yan can't last long, how long will he care?" Xun Yu retorted.

Liu Wei, who was sitting in the main seat, frowned.

The contradiction between Xun Yu and Xun Yu and Zhong Yu has become public?
