Chapter 373: A tacit understanding with Cao Cao

As soon as Pan Yin left, Liu Yu arrived as promised.

He was skinny, his eyes were sunken, he was on crutches, he was coughing, and he walked step by step.

Liu Wei looked at him with a somewhat complicated expression.

Among the three princes left by the cheap father, Liu Wei is the most optimistic about Liu Yu, who has good character and good ability, and is a member of the royal family.

Liu Wei once hoped that he would succeed Yang Biao and become the second prime minister.

But this person has very clear shortcomings, lacks courage, acts gently, and blindly advocates 'harmony is precious'.

"Wechen see Your Majesty." Liu Yu saluted with some difficulty.

Liu Wei sighed lightly and said, "I have already promised the Qing family's Gongsun Du to serve as the Taishou of Liaodong, so why bother to go on a trip in person on a cold day." ”

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

Liu Yu insisted on saluting, and then said: "Your Majesty, Liaodong must have a powerful military general to guard it, and the minister thinks that Gongsun Du can do it." This time, I am a resignation. ”

Liu Wei frowned deeply and looked at Liu Yu calmly.

Although Liu Yu is terminally ill and does not have long to live, according to the natural character traits of those in power who will not give up power until they die.

Liu Yu wants to resign before he dies, so he has another request.

After a while of calm on the bridge, Liu Yu raised his hand again and said, "Your Majesty, the minister recommended Cao Cao to be the Great Sima." ”

Liu Wei had already guessed, standing at the head of the bridge, his eyes turned to the small river under the bridge, the fish had disappeared, and the river was calm.

For Cao Cao, Liu Wei naturally had great expectations, but he didn't want him to go too fast, and there were still many things that Cao Cao needed to do.

"Your Majesty is worried that Shang Shutai will oppose it? There is a way to persuade them to agree. Liu Yu saw that Liu Wei was silent for a long time, and spoke again.

Liu Wei swept his eyes and stared at his withered face, knowing that he might not survive this winter, and sighed in his heart.

The biggest reluctance in this world is undoubtedly life and death.

Liu Wei didn't want Huangfu Song to die, Lu Zhi didn't want to die, and Zhu Jun didn't want to die, but they all left.

Now, it's Liu Yu's turn.

As soon as Liu Yu died, the old ministers left by Emperor Ling were basically gone, and there would be new faces in the court.

"Your Majesty, the prime minister has arrived." At this time, Pan Yin walked over.

Liu Wei nodded and threw bait into the creek again.

Xun Yu walked over and saw that Liu Yu was also there, he was a little surprised, but he still saluted and said, "Weichen see Your Majesty." ”

Liu Wei snorted and said, "Is it about the Five Doumi Sect?" ”

Xun Yu raised his hand and said: "Your Majesty, the Wudoumi Sect has been involved in the imperial court, and even infiltrated the forbidden army, and there are even 100,000 people gathered outside, and they must be dealt with as soon as possible. ”

Without waiting for Liu Wei to speak, Liu Yu suddenly interjected and said, "100,000 people, what is the prime minister going to do?" ”

Xun Yu bowed to Liu Yu sideways to show respect, and then said: "I thought that we would first capture the leader, get the list of people who joined the sect, clean up the forbidden army and the people of the imperial court, and then ban the Wudoumi Sect and disperse those sects." ”

Liu Yu described the dead wood, his face was expressionless, and said: "If the news has leaked and you can't get the list, how will the prime minister deal with the 100,000 people making trouble?" ”

Xun Yu obviously noticed that Liu Yu had something to say, and said decisively: "Yes, be the first to strike, act quickly, and don't give anyone a chance!" ”

Liu Yu shook his head slightly, and argued with Liu: "Your Majesty, the prime minister's idea is good, but it is not comprehensive enough. This matter is like marching to war, you must not be careless, the minister is no longer useful, and Cao Cao is recommended to take over the helm of the Great Sima Mansion. ”

Xun Yu's expression changed slightly, but he didn't expect Liu Yu to be this purpose.

"What does the prime minister think?" Liu Wei focused on feeding the fish and said casually.

"The minister is against!"

Xun Yu was unusually straightforward and said: "Your Majesty, Cao Cao has a lot of suspicious things in many wars against rebellion, and before these points are clarified, the minister opposed Cao Cao taking charge of the Great Sima Mansion. ”

Liu Yu snorted coldly and said: "I just said that the prime minister doesn't know how to march and fight, the battlefield is changing rapidly, except for insiders, outsiders can't see it clearly." You doubt Cao Cao, but when did Cao Cao not put down the rebellion? From Qingzhou to Jizhou, and then to Yuzhou, who can compare his military exploits in the world? You sit and eat and drink tea with peace of mind, leisurely and spacious, they are fighting with their lives, but the result is that you doubt them and want to kill quickly? Prime Minister, the moral article is well written, but the article is for others to see, and morality must be its own. ”

Liu Yu's words can't be said to be polite, even quite mean, as if he was insulting in person.

Xun Yu had enough kung fu to nourish his qi, and there was no anger on his face, and he said calmly: "Duke Liu, what guarantee do you have, then Cao Cao is a loyal minister, not a treacherous one?" ”

Liu Yu coughed violently twice, and then said: "Huangfu Song, Lu Zhi trusts him and focuses on cultivating. His Majesty tried his best to protect it several times, so that Cao Cao could extinguish the Yellow Turban in Qingzhou and pacify the Black Mountain Army in Jizhou, and this time he eliminated Dong Zhuo and pacified Yu and Xu Erzhou. This achievement is unprecedented, how can it be treacherous in the eyes of the prime minister? ”

Xun Yu slowly straightened up, put away his respect for Liu Yu, and said lightly: "Wang Mang." ”

Liu Yu's eyes widened angrily, and just as he was about to speak, he coughed violently again.

Wang Mang was probably the most taboo and vigilant existence in the Eastern Han Dynasty.

With his incomparable prestige, Wang Mang actually usurped the throne and became the emperor!

This is unprecedented, and the most important thing is that at that time, the government and the opposition and the family were fully supportive, and the reason for the failure was that the reforms he implemented caused chaos in the world, and then were overthrown.

But if he is not so radical, even if he eats and waits for death, the emperor must still be surnamed Wang now!

Liu Wei also turned his head slightly and looked at Xun Yu.

His most impression of Xun Yu is probably that Cao Cao in history wanted to be the king, Xun Yu strongly opposed, and in the end Cao Cao was still the king, and Xun Yu 'died of illness'.

Some people often defend Cao Cao, saying that Cao Cao was a Hanchen all his life, but in fact, it was not.

Before Emperor Gaozu died, he made an alliance with his ministers to kill the White Horse: if it is not King Liu, it is not a meritorious, it is not as good as the agreement, and the world will fight it together.

When Cao Cao became king, he was no longer Hanchen.

On the contrary, it was Xun Yu, who was a Hanchen, and he was against Cao Cao to claim the throne until his death.

Immediately, Liu Wei looked at Liu Yu again.

The old minister was coughing violently, as if he would fall down in the next moment, and he would never get up again.

"Your Majesty!"

Liu Yu straightened up again, there was a hint of redness on his withered face, and said loudly: "Just one sentence Wang Mang, to kill a good general, is tantamount to destroying my Han Jiangshan Sheji, please Your Majesty Mingjian!" ”

Seeing Liu Yu's situation, Xun Yu seemed to be a little unbearable, and said softly: "Your Majesty, if it is not for the minister's selfishness, Cao Cao has a lot of suspicions, it is better to wait for the investigation, otherwise the government and the opposition will be unconvinced, and I am afraid that there will be more incidents." ”

Liu Yu sneered and said, "The government and the opposition? Is the prime minister talking about the Yingchuan Party? In the old man's opinion, ten Cao Cao can't compare to one Yingchuan party! Party strife is the bane of the country, the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period have been hundreds of years, the prime minister has read more than the old man, and the old man must give you an example? ”

Xun Yu was speechless by the sentence 'Yingchuan Party', and he couldn't utter a word.

He looked up at Liu Bian, met Liu Bian's gaze, slowly lowered his head, was silent again and again, and said, "Your Majesty, ...... minister"

"Alright,"

Liu Wei waved his hand and said with a smile: "There's nothing to fight about, Cao Cao's matter, this has also been investigated, and before there is no conclusive evidence, I still believe him." In this way, the plan to transfer him to the right Sima remains unchanged. He will not be the Great Sima, but he can take charge of the affairs of the Great Sima Mansion. The two of you, how about this? ”

Xun Yu hesitated, unable to say anything against it.

Liu Yu thought for a while, raised his hand and said, "Your Majesty, Weichen." ”

After solving Cao Cao's matter, Liu Wei quickly changed the topic and said, "Prime Minister, Wudou Mijiao, what have you thought about how to deal with it?" ”

Xun Yu secretly took a breath, and could only let go of Cao Cao's matter, raised his hand and said, "Yes." The minister believed that it should be resolved quickly and not delayed. ”

Liu Wei thought about it again and again, and said, "It can be disposed of, but it is not banned." We are still tolerant of positive religions. All religions, as long as they conform to the law, are allowed to preach and develop. The prime minister's handling of this matter must be justified and evidence-based, not one-size-fits-all, not affecting the innocent, and not harming the future development of religion. ”

Xun Yu carefully savored Liu Wei's words, and after a while, said, "Yes, the minister understands." ”

Liu Wei nodded, and then looked at Liu Yu.

Xun Yu seemed to have an understanding, raised his hand and said, "Minister, retire." ”

Liu Wei looked at Xun Yu's back, and said to Pan Yin: "Move two chairs, and I will sit with Liu Qing's house for a while." ”

Liu Yu originally wanted to speak, but he could only bow down when he heard the words.

After a while, two chairs were placed on the small bridge, Liu Wei sat on the edge of the bridge, and Liu Yu was a little behind.

Liu Wei looked at the bait in his hand and said, "The Qing family thinks that besides Cao Cao, who can serve as the Great Sima?" ”

Liu Yu was stunned when he heard this, and then he was a little stunned.

He calculated carefully, as if he really couldn't find a suitable second one besides Cao Cao.

Although His Majesty has made great efforts to promote 'young people' after succeeding to the throne, it is obvious that no one is qualified enough to serve as the Grand Sima.

Looking at Shangshutai again, Xun Yu, Xun Yu, and Zhong Yu are all young juniors, and in terms of prestige, they are too far behind those people when they were Emperor Ling!

"I need time." Liu Wei threw the bait.

Liu Yu opened his mouth and did not make a sound.

"Liu Bei will enter Beijing in the near future, and the Qing family is free, so take him with you." Liu argued.

Liu Yu understood, remembered that Lu Zhi brought Cao Cao before his death, and then said: "The minister understands." Liu Bei is lenient and tenacious, and he is a suitable candidate for Da Sima. ”

"Qing family,"

Liu Wei suddenly turned his head and said with a strange gaze: "In my opinion, Cao Cao is actually suitable for the prime minister, but in the early years, he had an agreement with me that he would like to leap on the horse for his meritorious deeds, rather than a civil official. ”

Liu Yu also knew about this, and pondered for a while, and said, "Your Majesty, do you want to set up another general?" ”

Liu Wei raised his eyebrows, smiled, turned his head, and said, "No." I said casually. Gongsun Du is also suitable to go to Liaodong, at most it is a disease of scabies, but it can delay for at least four or five years for the imperial court. As for Cao Cao, I have read and checked the origin of his money and food...... Didn't find out. ”

Didn't even find out to His Majesty?

Liu Yu's face changed slightly, and he said in a deep voice: "Your Majesty, Cao Cao's ability is unparalleled today, and he can't do without it, but he also needs to be vigilant and controlled, and it is the most appropriate choice to put it in Luoyang." ”

Liu Bian's expression became strange.

Unconsciously, the monarch and ministers, Shang Shutai and the Great Sima Mansion and the government and the opposition reached a tacit understanding of Cao Cao's 'incomparable vigilance'.

On the other side, a secret meeting was being held in Shangshutai.

After everyone listened to Xun Yu's relay, Zhong Miao said thoughtfully: "Your Majesty still intends to establish a state religion, but this Wudoumi Sect is too unbearable, so I can't look down on it." ”

Xun You said: "Then I will salute first and then the soldiers, hand over the religion to Licao and Taichang Temple to manage, and order him to issue management rules, and then ask the Wudoumi Sect to hand over the list of congregations, and then the money and grain in and out of the account book." ”

Chen Gong listened quietly on the side and said, "Then, what should we do with those 100,000 sect members?" ”

100,000 people is not a small number, once it starts, it will be a big deal!

In the land of Luoyang and Gyeonggi, if it is not good, the consequences are unpredictable, and it is a black pot that everyone here can't afford to carry.

"Punish the evil first!"

Xun Yu's tone was decisive, and he said: "I arrested Zhang Lu and the others first, and then ordered them to confess their guilt, dissolve the Wudoumi Sect, and make an example of those who stubbornly disobey." ”

Chen Gong still felt that it was inappropriate, and said, "Prime Minister, there must be a perfect strategy." The forbidden army and the Yulin army must ensure that they will not be coerced into change, and then the hundred officials of the imperial court. ”

If the forbidden army changes, it is simply unimaginable!

But for this, Xun Yu was not worried at all, he didn't believe that the palace would not be vigilant at all about the Wudou Mi Sect, and he didn't believe that Zhang Lu would be able to instigate the forbidden army!

"Just in case,"

Xun Yu said: "The Yulin Army is returned to the Great Sima Mansion, I will go to see the Great Sima later, and ask him to cooperate." ”

Chen Gong was relieved and said, "Prime Minister, this matter must be kept secret, and you must not leak the news." ”

Xun Yu and Chen Gong met many times, only to find that this person was thoughtful and thoughtful, and nodded and said, "Okay." Gongda, you go to Taichang Temple and tell them that they want them to quickly send a document to the Wudou Mi Sect, and within three days, they must hand it over. Chen Gong, you ordered people to monitor the Wudou Rice Sect, especially Zhang Lu and others, their whereabouts must be checked carefully, and they must not be careless! ”

"Yes!" Xun You, Chen Gong immediately responded.

"There's one more thing." Zhong Yu raised his head and looked at Xun Yu.

Xun Yu immediately groaned and said, "Then the Lu clan has nothing to do with Your Majesty. ”

"What about the Queen Mother?" Zhong said.

The reason why Zhang Lu's Wudou Rice Sect has been able to develop rapidly to such an extent is because Zhang Lu's mother, Lu, entered the palace to treat the Empress Dowager He, and won the joy of the Empress Dowager He, and now she still lives in the palace.

If they made a move on Zhang Lu and Empress Dowager He suddenly intervened, what would they do?

Xun You also realized the problem, and said coldly: "I think, first find an opportunity to arrest the Lu family, and if the Empress Dowager He asks about it afterwards, then release it!" ”

Chen Gong frowned, but did not refute.

Xun Yu is different from Xun Yu, talking to Xun Yu, as long as he is reasonable, he can spray directly in person. But Xun Yu is different, this person will hold grudges and take revenge!

Zhong Xuan shook his head and said, "No!" The stakes are so high that we must not get into trouble! ”

Thinking about it, Zhong Xuan and Xun Yu said: "I think it's better to speak clearly with the Queen Mother." ”

Xun You directly objected and said: "What if the Queen Mother doesn't listen, but leaks the news?" ”

Seeing that they were about to quarrel again, Xun Yu interrupted them and said: "There are still three days to prepare, don't worry, the Queen Mother will really intervene at that time, and I will deal with it." ”
