Inside a humble little teahouse.

Zhong Xuan sat opposite Xun Yu, his expression was as condensed as ice, and said: "Judging from the investigation of the three law divisions, the design of the people behind the scenes is very simple. That Pang Yan is both the dead and the executor, and as soon as he dies, all the clues are broken. ”

Xun Yu looked at the file page by page, especially the daily life of the pang, and said unhurriedly: "Judging from these clues, the people behind the scenes have been preparing for at least more than a month, and they have a heart." ”

Seeing that he was not nervous or flustered, Zhong Xuan's heart eased slightly, and said: "It can also be seen from this that it was not Wang Lang and others who did it, I suspect that it was still done by some rebellious remnants, because it was the matter of the Five Doumi Sect." ”

Last year, Shang Shutai used the Five Doumi Sect to clean up all kinds of 'rebellious remnants' that had accumulated over the years in Luoyang City and were not easy to handle, and this cleanup is still ongoing.

Xun Yu turned to the last page, and it was the summary written by the three law divisions: It is planned to be presented to His Majesty tomorrow.

Xun Yu raised his head, looked at Zhong Yu and said, "You pressed it?" ”

Zhong Miao also noticed it and said, "Yes, tomorrow at noon." ”

Zhong Xuan put pressure on the three law divisions, and he will not report to the palace today, but the time limit is noon tomorrow!

In such a big and important case, Xun Yu's pressure on the three law divisions to drag on for half a day is already the limit, no matter how much, if the three law divisions do not agree, the palace will have to be suspicious.

Xun Yu groaned and said, "I guess they have other backs. ”

Zhong Xuan said: "I have discussed it with Gongda and Zhicai, and we are all waiting, seeing that it is going to be too dark, it is estimated that it is almost over." ”

Xun Yu got up and came to the window, looked in the direction of the palace, and said, "The students are surrounded by the Suzaku Gate? ”

Zhong Xuan stood behind him and said, "There have been quite a few dispersals, and there are still hundreds of people." ”

"I see, you all go." Xun Yu slowly raised his hands, his voice as calm as ever.

All going?

Lu Yu, Sima Yi, Chen Qun and others looked at each other, they were all gone, did the prime minister stay here alone?

What is the prime minister thinking when he hides in this small teahouse?

Zhong Xuan looked back and said lightly: "You all go back to the palace with me." ”

"The subordinate officer takes the order." Although Lu Yu and the three of them had a lot of confusion in their hearts, they still hurriedly responded.

Zhong Yu glanced at Xun Yu again, didn't say anything more, and left with a group of people.

Xun Yu stood at the window, a little old face, a little dazed.

I don't know how long it took, Huangfu Jian came up quietly, raised his hand and said, "The lower official has seen the prime minister." ”

Xun Yu turned his head and said expressionlessly: "You haven't told me about such a big thing, is it Your Majesty's will, or do you not have me as a prime minister in your eyes?" ”

After the Wudou Mijiao incident, the Imperial City Mansion was 'seconded' to Shang Shutai.

Huangfu raised his hand and said with a stern face: "The lower official doesn't dare, in this matter, the lower official already has some eyebrows, and he is still stepping up the investigation." ”

Xun Yu came to Huangfu Jianchang, his tone was indifferent, and he said, "You found your eyebrows so quickly?" ”

Huangfu Jianchang heard the suspicion in Xun Yu's words, and his expression moved strangely, and said: "A few days ago, something happened in the palace, and Da Changqiu ordered the officials to investigate, which happened to overlap with the prime minister's matter. ”

Xun Yu slowly straightened up and said, "Can the original appearance know who it is?" ”

Huangfu Jian kept raising his hand and said, "The lower officials have not yet verified, once they get the evidence, they will report it to the prime minister as soon as possible." ”

That's not going to happen.

Xun Yu slowly sat back, took a sip of cold tea, and said, "Don't move for the time being, you have to take another look at the true appearance." ”

"Yes, the next official will retire." The emperor replied and turned to leave.

Xun Yu sat there, put down the teacup, and looked at the two recitals on the small table.

A Mu Yingshao from Jizhou, about the imperial court's 'Five-Year Policy Outline for Jian'an', said that 'the task is heavy and difficult, and non-human power can do it'.

Between the lines, the words are concise and concise, without any twists and turns, and bluntly say: No.

The other is from Qingzhou Mu Sima Fang, which is sprinkled with more than 300 words, and there is only one core: asking for money.

The imperial court owed Qingzhou officials a five-year arrears, and only half of the military salaries were paid, and the disaster relief, river repair, and bereavement pensions involved were all lost.

On the surface, it is asking for money, but in fact it is a kind of 'coercion', without money, how to implement the 'New Deal'?

Xun Yu looked thoughtful, and after a long time, he muttered to himself: "'Ruler'......"

In his view, the 'rule of officials' is the key to national politics, and only when the government of officials is clear and clear can the 'new policy' be implemented, the maladministration can be eliminated, and the Han dynasty can be revitalized.

As for what was happening in front of him, he didn't really care.

"Xun Yu, murderer!"

"Your Majesty, a lot of people have killed people!"

"Your Majesty, please also uphold justice!"

……

Hundreds of Taixue, Hongdu Menxue, and some others surrounded the Suzaku Gate, shouting.

The guards above and below the Suzaku Gate didn't take him seriously, and calmly guarded, letting them shout.

The officials who originally entered and exited through the Suzaku Gate had already been diverted to other portals.

Wang Lang sat in the carriage, bypassed the Suzaku Gate, turned to the Royal Street, and prepared to go to Cao Cao to see Xun You.

He lifted the curtains, looked at the shouting students, and frowned, "Have they been shouting for a day?" ”

Zhang Hong was next to him, followed by a look, and said, "It seems that there have been a lot of people, not the previous ones." ”

Wang Lang put down the curtain and said, "What about the palace?" ”

Zhang Hong shook his head and said, "There is no movement." ”

Wang Lang sighed lightly and said, "If the palace is angry, I can relax a little, there is no response in the palace, we can't eat, and we can't sleep." ”

Zhang Hong was a little puzzled, and said: "Tingwei, this is the prime minister's own trouble, it's good that we didn't fall into the well, why do we have to bother to help him avenge his grievances?" ”

Wang Lang's expression sank, and he scolded: "Nonsense! The prime minister is an example of ten thousand officials, and he is in charge of the national politics of my Han Dynasty, and his identity is so precious! As subordinates, Your Majesty's courtiers, how can we see that he is wronged and gloat and stand by? ”

When Zhang Hong heard this, he hurriedly raised his hand and said, "The lower officials are confused, and the prime minister has taught him a lesson!" ”

Wang Lang waved his hand, and said with a condensed expression: "Anyway, this case is very tricky, and the three law divisions will delay until noon tomorrow at most, otherwise they will not be able to explain to Your Majesty, to the court, and to the world. ”

"The subordinate officer receives the order!" Zhang Hong said in a deep voice.

While the two were talking, the carriage stopped at the door of the priest.

As soon as Wang Lang got out of the carriage, he saw Xi Zhicai not far away leaving from Licao with a large group of people, with a full fifty people in front and back, the momentum was quite huge, coming and going in a hurry, and disappeared from Wang Lang's sight in a blink of an eye.

Zhang Hongdao: "Tingwei, the hardest working person now is Yushitai. ”

Wang Lang nodded imperceptibly and said, "How do I feel, Yushitai seems to have found something?" ”

Zhang Hongdao: "I heard that Yushitai interrogated a lot of people, and almost all of the people who Pang Yan had contact with recently were interrogated, and there was almost a conflict in Taixueli. ”

"The history of the drama is still measured." Wang Lang commented and said: "When I see Xun Servant in a while, I will be cautious in my words and deeds, and if I am not sure, I can't say a word." ”

Zhang Hong bowed down and said, "The stakes are very high, and the lower officials can save it." ”

Imperial Palace, Chongde Hall.

Wu Jing stood in front of Liu Wei and said with a calculating face: "Your Majesty, since the first emperor, there have been droughts and floods in various places, and in the past ten years, there have been great droughts and floods, and countless people have been affected. In the next three years, the Ministry of Industry plans to build embankments where they often burst or have hidden dangers of bursting embankments, so as to ensure that they will not burst for at least 10 years......"

There is always a way to deal with the flood.

Liu Wei listened quietly and did not interject.

Wu Jing said for an unknown amount of time, and continued: "For the victims, Shang Shutai has formulated many strategies, among which the ministers agree with two the most: one is 'work for relief', such a measure, building bridges and paving roads, reclaiming wasteland, benefiting the country and the people, is more effective than simple relief. Second, the relocation of the people, for Shang Shutai's plan to resettle the affected people in the Taihu Lake area, the minister deeply agreed. Around Taihu Lake, although there is a lot of miasma, but near the lake and few mountains, fertile fields for thousands of miles, once it is properly cultivated, it will strengthen the national treasury......"

The area around Taihu Lake is now roughly in Jingyang Prefecture, and Wu County occupies the best place.

In today's troubled times, land is important, and population is even more important!

Liu Wei looked motionless, and said with a smile: "Regarding the marriage between Liu Bei and the Sun family, where is the Qing family going?" ”

Wu Jing didn't expect Liu Wei not to mention national politics, but asked about this, hesitated for a moment, and said: "Back to Your Majesty, the minister doesn't know for the time being, I heard before that the Sun family is quite willing." ”

"Hurry up, then."

Liu Wei said with a smile: "Liu Bei is also a hero in the world, he has an old relationship with Sun Jianqing's family, and the marriage is close to each other, so don't delay." ”

"When Weichen goes back, he must urge more." Wu Jing hurriedly raised his hand and said. But his heart was even more uneasy and hesitant.

Regarding the sudden marriage of His Majesty in front of him for Liu Bei and the Sun family, Wu Jing and Sun Ce and others were very puzzled and vigilant.

This is also the reason why the 'Sun-Liu marriage' has been delayed until now.

Liu Wei took in Wu Jing's expression, picked up the teacup, took a sip of tea, and said casually: "Qing family, that Sun Quan is in Taixue...... I heard that the grades are good? ”

Wu Jing's intuition was frightened, his whole body was cold, and he quickly answered: "Back to Your Majesty, Sun Quan is too young to do anything, so he has to study, on weekdays, he goes back and forth between the classroom and Honglu Temple, and has never been in contact with others, even Weichen has only seen two sides, and please Your Majesty Mingjian!" ”

Liu Wenchun smiled kindly and said: "Where do you want the Qing family to go, I think that Sun Quan is really good, call him to the palace, and those little guys in the palace." ”

Wu Jing was stunned and said, "Yes, yes, the minister's decree." ”

Liu Wei ignored the fine sweat on his head, got up and walked out, and said, "Wu Qingjia, I asked you to enter the palace today, and I still have something to ask." ”

Wu Jing bowed behind Liu Wei, followed suit, and said very respectfully: "The minister knows everything and says everything. ”

Wu Jing took a calm breath and lowered his head, feeling uneasy in his heart.

The news that Prime Minister Xun Yu killed Taixue in Taixue has spread all over Luoyang City, and I don't know how many people are watching this matter.

The palace called him into the palace at this moment, and Wu Jing thought with his toes that it would not be for government affairs.

"How many soldiers and horses, how much grain and grass does Sun Ce have in Wu County?" Liu Wei stepped out of the threshold and said at the same time.

Wu Jing was just about to step over the threshold with one foot, when he heard the words, he staggered and stepped on it, and hit Liu Wei's back directly.

Liu Wei was caught off guard and ran forward a few steps before stopping.

"Bold!" The guards on the side were also caught off guard, reacted quickly, and rushed over.

One of the guards kicked Wu Jing in the calf, and the other hit the chest, and then the two directly drew their knives and pressed Wu Jing to the ground.

These were just done in the blink of an eye, and Wu Jing didn't have time to react at all, until his face was dead on the ground, and then he exclaimed: "Your Majesty forgive me!" Your Majesty forgives your sins, your minister, your minister's foot......"

Liu Wei turned around and looked at Wu Jing, his expression moved.

At the moment when he was bumped into by Wu Jing, he was shocked, and subconsciously thought that he had encountered this moment, and he had a fear that he had not felt for many years!

Is this human nature, or is it the natural instinct of emperors? ’

Liu Wei muttered to himself in his heart, then smiled slightly, and said, "Let go of Wu Qing's house, it's just a stumbling foot, no need to make a fuss." ”

Only then did the guards withdraw their swords and pull Wu Jing up.

Wu Jing only felt that his calves, lower covers, chest, shoulders, and face hurt everywhere, but he couldn't care about it, and raised his hand to ask for guilt again and again: "Minister, the minister bumped into Your Majesty, and please punish Your Majesty!" ”

'What a collision......

Liu Wei turned around, continued to walk, and said with a smile: "The Qing family doesn't need to care, accompany me for a walk." ”

Wu Jing was frightened, gritted his teeth, and accompanied Liu Wei out of the Chongde Palace.

After walking a few steps, I felt that my calf hurt terribly, and I limped behind Liu Wei.

"The Qing family hasn't answered my words yet." Liu Wei, who was walking in front, waited for a while, and without waiting for Wu Jing's words, he asked again.

Wu Jing had already come back to his senses, thought quickly, and said: "Back to Your Majesty, as far as the minister knows, Wucheng Hou strictly abides by the orders of the Great Sima Mansion and garrisons 50,000 troops in Wu County, with grain and grass, which is only enough for more than a month. ”

Liu Wei paced, his expression was contemplative, and said, "If Yuan Shao sends troops to Wu County, how long can Sun Ce resist?" ”

Wu Jing was stunned, Yuan Shao sent troops to Wu County, what does this mean?

He limped, broke out in a cold sweat on his aching head, and looked up at the sky.

This is the first month, the cold winter wax moon, Wu County is close to the sea, it is even colder, Yuan Shao wants to send troops to Wu County at this time?

Wu Jing couldn't figure out what Liu Wei was asking for a while, and said cautiously: "Your Majesty, Wucheng Hou has always been brave, Yuan Shao, even if he comes out of the nest, I believe he can resist until the imperial court reinforcements arrive." ”

Liu Wei didn't seem to be able to hear the trills in Wu Jing's words, and nodded: "I have just sent an edict to Liu Bei in Yuzhou and Zhang Liao in Xuzhou, ordering them to move their troops and horses south and form a corner with Wu County to prevent Yuan Shao from going north." ”

Wu Jing's face changed suddenly, and his eyes widened as he looked at Liu Wei's back.

But he bowed his head violently, and his heart trembled and frightened even more.

Liu Bei, Zhang Liao led his troops to the south, which was to surround Wu County!

Is this to guard against Yuan Shao, or to annex Wu County?

Liu Wei walked a few steps, turned around, and said, "The Qing family wants to have a good talk with Wu Chenghou, don't misunderstand." ”

Wu Jing had cold sweat on his head, raised his hand stiffly, and said, "The minister understands." ”

Liu Wei looked down, there were some blood stains on the hem of his trousers, presumably the guards were ruthless enough.

Turning around casually, Liu Wei continued to pace and said, "If Yuan Shao really invades Wu County, it must be headed by Liu Bei. ”
