Chapter 394: Rift

After the promulgation of the edict, the ceremony of changing the yuan was carried out as usual.

First, the palace sacrificed to the temple, and then went out of the city to worship the Sifang Shrine, and countless subjects followed.

The gongs and drums were opened, the firecrackers rang out in unison, and the excitement was unprecedented.

Chen Lin, the servant of Licao, personally presided over it, and the sacrificial words were also written by him, coming and going, and he worked the hardest.

Shangshutai, Liucao, and the head of the nine temples are not lacking, and they are busy in the east, west, north and south.

Liu Wei was wearing a heavy crown dress, with supreme majesty in his every move, not like a doll in the past, he did it himself, and many ceremonies were serious and meticulous.

He is already an emperor, he has been an emperor for six years, and he has a different attitude towards the casualness of the past and the boredom of various ceremonies.

He earnestly sacrificed to the emperor and the queen of heaven, and read aloud one by one sacrificial eulogy.

The altar is facing outward, first the royal family, then the hundred officials, and then the people, which is really three layers inside and three layers outside.

"His Royal Highness is also here, this is, is Your Majesty going to make a prince?"

There are six Cao's subordinates, taking advantage of Liu Wei's sacrifice, boring whispering.

"It's been rumored for a long time, it should be soon, right?"

"Your Majesty only brought His Highness alone, it seems that it is really His Highness."

"His Royal Highness is the eldest son of the emperor, and His Majesty has not yet established the queen, so he is naturally the eldest son."

"But I can't say for sure. I heard that His Royal Highness is a little stupid, and His Royal Highness is deeply favored by His Majesty, if His Majesty makes Tang Niangniang the queen, then His Royal Highness will be his son-in-law......"

"Isn't Second Highness sick all the time? It's not a long-lived person......"

"That's better than being stupid......"

"Not necessarily, haven't you heard? The two new beauties in the palace are extremely favored and are already pregnant, if one of them is established, there will be no one else in the East Palace......"

These petty officials hid together and whispered, and behind them were some envoys from various states and counties and from outside the Cyprus to pay tribute.

Wuhuan, Xianbei, Xiongnu, Qiang, Sanqiang, Liu Zhang's people, Liu Biao's people, Shijia's people, and some sensitive and marginal people, such as Zhou Yu, Ma Chao, and Yuan Shao's son Yuan Tan.

Yuan Tan stood with his hands in his hands, looking at Liu Wei who was sacrificing from afar, his expression was very envious, and he whispered with burning eyes: "I heard that Dong Zhuo also performed a similar sacrifice in Xiangxian County?" ”

The judge clasped his hands, glanced around, and said, "Childe, don't lie." ”

Yuan Tan was also vigilant around him, and immediately sneered: "Don't look at this dog emperor who is so arrogant now, I will definitely return to Luoyang with my father one day, and destroy the revenge of the clan with a snow!" ”

In Yuan Tan's opinion, if it weren't for the Dog Emperor who destroyed the Yuan family, with the prestige of the fourth and third princes of the Yuan family, how could he be ranked behind the crowd, and he should be at the forefront!

The judge shook his head secretly, raised his head again, and looked at the distant back.

The emperor was still sacrificing, and judging from the eyes of the judge, the posture was clumsy, the process was unclear, and he was the same as a scholar who didn't know the so-called family.

'Back to the light?' ’

The judge thought in his heart, and his eyes were complicated.

Today, the Han Dynasty is terminally ill and incurable. After the chaos, there is great governance, such a strong support, for the country and the people, there is no benefit?

'If the Yellow Turban Army in the early years broke through Luoyang in one fell swoop, destroyed the Han Dynasty, and competed for the world, by now, maybe someone has pacified the world and settled the people in all directions, right? ’

The trial shifted from Liu Wei's back, and fell on Xun Yu, Xun You, Cao Cao and others in front, and frowned secretly: "Could it be that if you really want to reproduce the weekend, can't you have hundreds of years of troubled times?" ’

"Sir, I have prepared a big gift for this dog emperor." Suddenly, Yuan Tan came to the trial and whispered proudly.

The judge's face changed suddenly, and he said, "Cao Cao, did you do it?" ”

Yuan Tan was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly said, "That's not, I'm just ready." ”

The judge's heart suddenly let go again, and said, "That's good, that's good." ”

The 'Cao Cao Corruption Case' seems to have passed silently, but those who know the inside story know that this case will never pass.

Needless to say, Cao Cao said that Wang Lang and the Yang family behind him, especially the 'Yingchuan Party' in charge of the imperial court, suffered such a big loss, and they would never give up easily.

If Yuan Tan's head is found, they will definitely die, and they can't say it, there will be another big war in Yangzhou.

These are seriously inconsistent with the strategy set by Yuan Shao.

After the trial calmed down, he asked again; "What is Childe going to do?"

Yuan Tan sneered and said, "Sir, wait and see." ”

Just as the judge was about to ask questions, the drum beat suddenly, the ritual changed, and the crowd in front began to move with the drum.

Turning around, Yuan Tan noticed Zhou Yu and Liu Qi not far away, his eyes rolled, and the corners of his mouth outlined a sneer.

The ceremony was not over until the evening, and Liu Wei set up a big banquet in the palace and feasted the ministers.

The front ones are Xun Yu and Wang Lang on the left, and Cao Cao and Liu Xie on the right.

It was the first time for the courtiers to see such a seat, and they couldn't help but talk about it.

Liu Wei sat in his seat, drinking wine, and talking to Lu Yu, who was standing on the side.

Xun Yu took two sips, then raised his wine glass and said to Cao Cao: "Cao Sima, please." ”

Cao Cao hurriedly raised his wine glass and said, "Prime Minister, please." ”

Liu Xie, Wang Lang, Xun You, Sima Jun and others saw it and continued to drink quietly.

Xun Yu took a sip, put down the wine glass, and said with a smile: "Cao Sima, where do you plan to start, where do you start?" ”

Cao Cao sat up straight, with a frank face, and said: "I have obtained Your Majesty's permission, and when I leave Beijing tomorrow, I will go to Bingzhou first." ”

Xun Yu nodded and said, "I have already sent a letter to He Yuanjun, he will cooperate with Cao Sima, if you have any questions, just send a letter to Shangshutai." ”

Cao Cao picked up the wine glass and said, "Thank you, Prime Minister." ”

Xun Yu raised his glass, took a sip, and said, "Cao Sima, what do you think of today's events?" ”

As soon as the words fell, the vicinity of Yi Xun Yu and Cao Cao instantly quieted down.

Even Liu Wei above, he stopped talking and looked at Cao Cao with a flat expression.

Regarding Cao Cao's accusation, Liu Wei also had many doubts in his heart.

The people behind felt the sudden silence, and they all stopped talking, standing in place, turning their heads to look around.

Cao Cao looked directly at Xun Yu and said without changing his face: "There is something suspicious. ”

Xun Yu had a hint of curiosity on his face and said, "Cao Sima will tell me in detail." ”

Liu Xie, Wang Lang, Zhong Xuan, Xun You, Sima Jun, Huangfu Jianshou, Wu Jing, etc., everyone's eyes were focused on Cao Cao.

As the highest level of the Great Han, they are very clear about what happened during the day, and there are too many paradoxes in it.

Even Liu Wei held the wine glass and waited quietly for Cao Cao's answer.

In this matter, the Imperial City Mansion and the Huangmen North Temple Prison all participated in the secret investigation, but they never found any clues of the people behind the scenes, as if it was really the domestic servant who couldn't stand the oppression of the Cao Mansion and took the initiative to go to the Tingwei Mansion to sue Cao Cao.

At this point in time, suing Cao Cao to the Tingwei Mansion, these two coincidences alone are enough to show that this matter is not a coincidence!

Cao Cao naturally felt everyone's gaze, including Liu Wei's, his expression sank, and said: "Prime Minister, since Your Majesty ascended to the pole, he has repeatedly advised the courtiers that the party is fighting for disaster in the country, and the court must take 'unity' as the key, and the lower officials think so. Today's events, there must be unscrupulous people framing from it, please make sure that the prime minister is right from wrong, and the overall situation is important. ”

Xun Yu looked directly into Cao Cao's eyes, and in these eyes, there was nothing but indifference and depth.

"That's what Cao Sima said." Xun Yu picked up the wine glass and looked at Cao Cao not far away.

Cao Cao raised his glass to greet him, and drank it all without changing his face.

Xun Yu observed Cao Cao, but quietly looked at Xun Yu.

'What did Wen Ruo see?' Xun Yu said secretly in his heart. With Xun You's character, he would not question Cao Cao on such an occasion, unless he pointed it out.

Is it to separate Cao Cao and Wang Lang? Xun Yu thought for a while, and after Cao Cao put down the wine glass, he suddenly said: "Cao Sima, the three law divisions are not very satisfied with the 'Atonement Silver' and want to cancel it, what do you think?" ”

Cao Cao thought for a moment and said, "This is a matter of the three law divisions, and the lower officials can only say that they do not object." ”

Wang Lang saw that Xun Yu was about to cause trouble to the east, and said loudly: "Xun servant shoots, the lower officials think that for the important positions of high-ranking officials in the imperial court, it is not only necessary to recommend Cao and Shang Shutai to His Majesty, but also to discuss with the imperial court. ”

Xun You glanced at him lightly and said, "Wang Tingwei, the Tingwei Mansion has the right to judge alone, do you know if there is something wrong?" ”

"Ladies and gentlemen,"

Liu Xie picked up the wine glass with a smile and said, "Today is the celebration of the change of the yuan, it is not appropriate to discuss political affairs, please raise a glass and drink together." ”

With Liu Xie playing a round, everyone couldn't refuse, and they raised their glasses and responded loudly.

Liu Wei sat there, taking in every move of the courtiers, and whispered to Lu Yu beside him: "Lu Yu, what do you think of Cao Cao's words?" ”

Lu Yu bowed and responded in the noise: "Your Majesty, that incident is indeed very paradoxical, and there are many things that don't make sense. ”

Liu Wei's gaze wandered on Cao Cao, Xun Yu, Zhong Xuan, Xun You, Wang Lang, Sima Jun and others, his smile remained unchanged, and he said: "The country will prosper, and there will be Zhenxiang; The country will perish, and there will be demons. You say, "Is this wicked man here, or is he outside?" ”

Lu Yu's expression changed slightly, and he hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, the prosperity of the Han Dynasty is imminent, there are countless auspicious rui, and there are no demons." ”

Liu Wei's eyes narrowed slightly, looking at the courtiers who were staggered, picked up the wine glass, took a sip gently, and said, "Next time you deliver the news to Cao Cao, be slower, you can't be faster than Shangshutai." ”

The corners of Lu Yu's face tightened, and he said in a low voice: "Weichen understands. ”

Liu Wei stretched out his hand and beckoned Liu Shao, who was sitting not far away, and said, "Come to my father." ”

The six-year-old guy is quite a bit tiger-headed, and his little face is honest and plain.

Hearing Liu Bian's voice, he stood up and came to Liu Bian's side, his eyes open, his eyes showing curiosity and inquiry.

Liu Wei stretched out his hand and grabbed him, asked him to sit beside him, and said with a smile: "Are you tired today?" ”

Liu Shao shook his head and did not answer.

Liu Wei was accustomed to his personality, looked at the ministers sitting in the hall, and said with a smile: "Go, greet the prime minister and Cao Sima." ”

The little guy looked back, then went to his place to pick up the wine glass, came to Liu Wei and poured it half full, turned around and walked down the steps.

Although the hall is full of people, who can bypass Liu Wei?

Seeing him call the Great Highness over, and seeing His Highness walking down the steps with a wine glass, the hall suddenly fell silent.

Many people looked at Liu Shao with very complicated eyes, and their hearts fluctuated.

This is the eldest son of the emperor, and in the absence of a son-in-law, the most likely candidate for the East Palace!

Coupled with the previous rituals, some people's imagination came to mind, and their eyes turned from complex to hot.

Liu Shao came to Xun Yu, raised his wine glass with both hands, and said, "Prime Minister, please." ”

Xun Yu hurriedly knelt down and sat up, holding the wine glass in both hands, bowing his head and saying, "Your Highness, please." ”

After the little guy saluted, he drank half of it, and then turned to Cao Cao.

"Cao Sima, please." The little guy is serious and well-mannered.

Cao Cao's face was solemn, he held his wine glass, and said, "Don't dare, Your Highness, please." ”

The little guy finished drinking this time, and then turned his head to look at Liu Wei above.

Liu Wei smiled and said, "You tell Cao Sima a few words." ”

The little guy blinked, turned to Cao Cao again, and said, "Cao Sima, please also worry about the country." ”

"Your Ministers obey." Cao Cao bowed and answered.

The little guy blinked and turned to Liu Wei again.

Liu Wei beckoned and said, "Cao Sima heard it, come back." ”

The little guy walked up the steps and came to Liu Wei again.

Liu Wei pulled him, sat on the side, looked down at the courtiers present, and said loudly: "This Yuan Reform Ceremony has been completed, and the banquet has been drunk. ”

"Commandment!"

All the courtiers raised their hands in unison and answered loudly.

Liu Wei got up slowly, then looked at Liu Shao and said: "I am here, your Qing family is not comfortable, you are here to greet you Qing family on my behalf, don't worry, Lu Yu will accompany you." ”

The little guy didn't have a look of fear on his face, looked at Lu Yu, sat there and said, "Hmm." ”

Liu Wei smiled and reached out to touch his head, then turned to leave.

"Greetings to Your Majesty." Hundreds of civil and military officials saluted Liu Wei's back.

After Liu Wei left, Liu Shao sat there, looking at the courtiers in the palace, not knowing what to do, and looked up at Lu Yu.

Lu Yu understood, ordered someone to move Liu Shao's small table over, and then whispered in his ear: "Your Highness doesn't need anything, you don't need to say anything, just eat, when the time comes, Weichen will talk to His Highness." ”

The little guy nodded, picked up the chopsticks, and ate by himself.

Xun Yu saw that Liu Shao didn't speak, so he also sat back and ate by himself.

Cao Cao, Wang Lang, Liu Xie and others had almost the same movements, and they didn't show anything special.

This is the palace, it is in the palace, and there are countless pairs of eyes staring at every move.

These big people are reserved, but some of the latter are relatively small and don't take so much into account, and after a few glasses of wine, they will talk to each other in a low voice.

"In this way, it should be His Highness, right?"

"Yes, Your Majesty brought His Highness out today and sat in that position again, the meaning is already obvious."

"Is Your Majesty going to be a prince? There's no wind, huh? ”

"Isn't this just the rumor? With today, tomorrow, not today, someone will write a recommendation book, and when the time is right, His Majesty will be able to push the boat down the river and establish the reserve. ”

Cai Yong is also here at this time, since he was demoted by Liu Wei because of Wang Yun's incident, there is only one official position left as a Dongguan school scholar, and now he is presiding over Dongguan affairs.

Kong Rong, who was not far away, suddenly raised his hand and said with a smile to Cai Yong: "Cai Gong, congratulations." ”

Cai Yong, who had been eating with his head down and was silent, was shocked when he heard the words, his whole body was cold, he didn't pay attention to Kong Rong at all, he got up in a hurry, and after saluting Liu Shao, he left the hall with a quick step.

Seeing this scene, Kong Rong was stunned, and he didn't know why at all.

The others were stunned at first, but then they realized something, and the noise gradually subsided.

Kong Rongfu's face was full of confusion, so he could only put down his wine glass and muttered in his heart.

Liu Shao, who was at the top, looked at his grandfather and ran out, blinked, and turned his head to Lu Yu on the side.

Lu Yu leaned over and whispered, "Your Highness, don't care. ”

The little guy nodded as if he didn't understand, and continued to eat the food on the small table.

And Xun Yu, Cao Cao, Liu Xie, Wang Lang and others at the front seemed to be unconscious, eating by themselves, occasionally toasting each other, and talking lukewarmly.

It's a real conversation, not as sharp as before, and the sword is hidden.

I don't know how long it took, Lu Yu and Liu Shao whispered, and then straightened up and said, "The time has come!" ”

The courtiers had actually eaten a long time ago, and they were all waiting for the time, when they heard Lu Yu's voice, they raised their hands to Liu Shao and said, "The courtiers are leaving!" ”

Liu Shao raised his hand and returned the salute quite respectfully.

Then, with Lu Yu's support, he left through the side door.

Liu Shao left, and the courtiers got up in twos and threes, whispered, and walked out of the hall in batches.

Walking in the front were Xun Yu, Xun You, and Zhong Xuan, and the others didn't know whether it was intentional or unintentional, and they were a few steps behind the three of them.

Regarding the discussion behind them, Xun Yu and the three of them did not pay attention to it, but turned to Shang Shutai.

Cao Cao looked at the backs of the three of them, and also turned to the Great Sima Mansion.

Liu Xie, Wang Lang, Sima Jun and others saw it and continued to leave the palace silently.

"What do you think?" In Xun Yu's duty room, as soon as Xun Yufu sat down, he asked Xun Yu and Zhong Xuan.

Zhong Xuan's expression was relaxed, and he said with a slight smile: "Your Majesty's meaning is already obvious, Your Highness." ”

Xun You still had some doubts, and said: "It should be, but Your Majesty, it seems that it is only to appease the hearts of the government and the wilderness, and there is no intention of establishing a prince immediately." ”

Xun Yu nodded and said, "Your Majesty is in full bloom in the Spring and Autumn Period, as long as the prince is interested, there is no need to be in a hurry." What I'm asking you is, about Cao Mengde. ”

"Cao Cao?"

Xun You reacted quickly and said, "You just asked Cao Cao in the palace, did you find something?" ”

Xun Yu shook his head and said, "I just think that Cao Cao and the palace's reaction is a little strange. ”

When Zhong Xuan heard this, he said thoughtfully: "When I said this, I also remembered it." This shot in the palace hit everyone, and it is not like His Majesty's previous style, unless there is something else strange inside. ”

Xun You's expression suddenly turned cold, and he said, "Then Cao Cao may know something!" ”

Xun Yu saw that they couldn't say anything, and said: "No matter what, I gave him a warning today, after the yuan change, the 'New Deal' must be the first, and that kind of thing must not happen a second time!" ”

Zhong Yu glanced at Xun You, Xun Yu's words were actually for Xun Yu to hear.

Xun Yu had been suppressing anger in his heart, and when he heard Xun Yu's words, his face was a little ugly, and he was silent.

Xun Yu just didn't see it, and said: "After tomorrow, Shang Shutai will successively issue the 'New Deal' order, and I will successively recruit the state pastors and some Taishou to Luoyang, and then you will make some preparations, and you must force them to respond to the task." In another month, I will send the chief officials of the Liucao and Nine Temples out of Beijing to inspect them, and you must be prepared for the dismissal of those who do not act, regardless of their official background, or to prison for their crimes. ”

Seeing Xun Yu's bright knife, Zhong Miao took the lead in raising his hand and said, "The subordinate will receive the order!" ”

Xun Yu couldn't hear Xun Yu's 'pointing and pointing' at him, took a deep breath, suppressed his anger, and said, "The lower official takes the order." ”

Xun Yu saw that he should go, and said to Zhong Xuan: "Yuan Chang, you go and see Yuan Tan, Liu Qi, Ma Chao and others again, the energy of the imperial court should be focused on the 'New Deal', and try not to start a war as much as possible." ”

Zhong Xuan said: "Okay, if necessary, I will walk around myself." ”

The Han Dynasty was surrounded by threats, from the Wuhuan in the north, Xianbei, and Xiongnu, the Sanqiang in the northwest, Liu Zhang in Yizhou in the southwest, Liu Biao and Shijia in the south, and Yuan Shao in the southeast, the Han Dynasty has been surrounded by aliens and rebellions.

These threats could not be solved all at once, and the extremely weak Han Dynasty needed time to clean up the maladministration, calm the people, and recover.

By quelling Dong Zhuo's prestige, the Han court hoped to win at least three years of peace.

With three years, the eight states in the north of the Han Dynasty were able to stabilize and survive the most difficult time, and then recover some vitality and have the ability to deal with a big war.

As long as you breathe this sigh of relief, the Han Dynasty will be able to continue its life, and then gradually solve the alien race and rebellion, and rejuvenate the Han Dynasty!

Xun You frowned.

The "Five-Year Governance Outline of Jian'an" is varied, including all aspects of the entire Han Dynasty, but the ancients said that "governing the country first governs the officials", and most of these "officials" are in the hands of Xun You.

The first step of the 'New Deal' is to target Xun You and the 'Yingchuan Party' that comes with Xun You!

Zhong Xuan had long expected that there would be such a day, and after a long silence, he said to Xun You: "Gongda, the rule of officials, is a matter that Your Majesty has been rectifying, and Your Majesty has always been dissatisfied with the list of 'Jingcha'. The Imperial City Mansion, Huangmen Beisi Prison has actually been doing things, and we can't tolerate the adulterers. ”

The corners of Xun You's face twitched again and again, and said, "I know." ”

Zhong Xuan listened to his stiff answer and said, "I have discussed with the prime minister, and this matter will be handed over to you, mainly by the officials, so as not to cause waves as much as possible." ”

Xun You naturally didn't believe Zhong Xuan's words, and the anger in his heart was faintly uncontrollable, so he suddenly got up, flicked his sleeves, and strode away.

Zhong Xuan stretched out his hand to stop him, but he couldn't say anything for a while.

With the continuous advancement and deepening of the 'New Deal', Xun Yu's attitude towards the 'New Deal' has been constantly changing, and Zhong Xuan and Xun Yu noticed it two years ago.

The friction between Xun Yu and Xun Yu happened quietly, and gradually accumulated, and after such a long time, it was not broken.

However, today is different.

The yuan has been changed.

Starting tomorrow, the 'New Deal' will enter a new stage, and all the places that are blocked, or even cannot be promoted, will be forcibly penetrated.

"Forget it."

Xun Yu sighed lightly and said, "I'll go to his mansion later." ”

Zhong Xuan looked at the place where Xun Yu left with some concern, and said, "I'm worried that you won't be able to persuade him, and I'm even more worried that he will make a mistake and cause the disaster of extermination." ”

The 'New Deal' is a national policy that has been implemented in the palace for many years in order to rejuvenate the Han Dynasty.

For the sake of the 'New Deal', the palace made unprecedented concessions last year.

This is not just a concession, but a murderous final warning!
