Chapter 403: Ambition
The palace maid felt Empress Dowager He's anger and killing intent, shrunk her neck, and did not dare to breathe, and glanced at an inconspicuous small yellow door not far away.
Xiao Huangmen's expression was indifferent and gave her a silent warning.
The palace maid shrunk her neck again, stepped forward tremblingly, and said in a low voice: "Niangniang, outside, outside are spreading, isn't it, should I tell Your Majesty a ......"
Empress Dowager He was angry, but she didn't lose her mind, stood at the door, and said coldly: "Then Yuan Tan, what will you do?" ”
The palace maid was stunned for a moment and said, "It's a big crime to frame the prime minister, right?" ”
Empress Dowager He gritted her teeth fiercely and said, "If you are a big sin, then you have to die!" ”
The palace maid didn't dare to talk more, she actually knew that Yuan Tan was Yuan Shao's son, and if she killed Yuan Tan, Yuan Shao would definitely have to rebel.
"What is Liu Xie doing?" The palace maid didn't speak, and the Empress Dowager He suddenly asked.
The palace maid said: "The slave doesn't know, but Yuan Tan should have been escorted to the Yushitai." ”
Empress Dowager He snorted coldly, looking a little hesitant.
She didn't like Liu Xie, and she wished she had killed him many years ago to prevent future troubles.
If it weren't for the protection of the old witch, there would not have been the fight for the throne back then, and maybe his good brother wouldn't have to die.
The source of everything is that damn Wang Rong!
Every time she thought of this, the Empress Dowager He hated it, but immediately, she sneered proudly and said: "However, it is the debater who inherits the throne, and I am the queen mother, no one can compare!" ”
The palace maid lowered her head and pursed her lips.
There are too many taboos in the palace, and sometimes one more word, or even one more sentence, may lead to death.
Empress Dowager He stood at the door, looking in the direction of Chen Liu's palace, and the mockery in her eyes became stronger.
In that palace, there is still an old queen mother, it stands to reason that it should be unique, and the position is high, and now, it can only shrink there, without the honor of the queen mother.
Empress Dowager He was in a good mood, waved her hand, and said with a smile: "Come on, prepare some things and go to Chenliu Palace." ”
The little yellow door not far away was shocked, and stepped forward quietly: "Niangniang, what do you want to prepare?" Do you want Fengyi? ”
Empress Dowager He looked outside the palace, in a good mood, and said: "For Princess Chen and the prince, Fengyi is ready and will be placed out of the palace directly." ”
"Yes." The little yellow door immediately responded, went out to arrange, and quietly supported a middle yellow door.
Empress Dowager He turned around, changed into formal clothes, sat Fengyi, and came out of Yongle Palace, swaggering, and leaving the palace with considerable momentum.
Chongde Hall, apse.
Liu Wei looked at Cao Cao with some surprise and said, "It's all dealt with?" ”
Cao Cao stood in front of Liu Wei and said, "Yes." The minister received the news that there were some situations in Yanzhou, Qingzhou, and Jizhou, and the minister believed that it was necessary to leave Beijing as soon as possible and complete His Majesty's 'new policy', so as to completely eliminate local unrests and make our Han country forever. ”
Liu Wei looked at him, and then said with a smile: "Cao Qing's family has this heart, and I am deeply grateful. Well, there are no civil officials around you, so I will send you some people, some juniors, and you will also have to exercise. ”
Cao Cao's expression was as usual, and he raised his hand and said, "Thank you, Your Majesty." ”
Liu Wei looked thoughtful and said, "That Yang Xiu, you continue to take it, and Sima Yi also takes it." Zhang Ji, Zhang Xiu's uncle and nephew also brought it. ”
Cao Cao listened to these names and made a careful note of them, but in an instant, a calm voice like thunder sounded in his ears.
"By the way, where is that Zou now?"
Cao Cao's expression did not change, but he was extremely shocked in his heart, and his breath paused for a moment.
Just in an instant, Cao Cao raised his hand casually and said, "Back to Your Majesty, it has been returned to Zhang Ji." ”
Liu Wei snorted and said, "That's good, that Zhang Xiu is still very good, you can take it and cultivate it." There is another one, Ma Teng's son, Ma Chao, I have seen it once, it is really brave, but it seems that there is a lack of strategy, you take him, train and train, I will be of great use in the future. ”
"Commandment." Cao Cao raised his hand.
Liu Wei looked at him quietly for a moment and said, "There is one more person." ”
Cao Cao slowly raised his head and looked at Liu Wei.
Leave the last one to say, is it special?
"Matching." Liu Wei said lightly.
Cao Cao immediately thought of Yuan Shao in his mind, and said, "The minister's order." ”
Liu Wei got up with a smile, walked in front of Cao Cao, pressed his hand, pulled him out, looked kind and close, and said: "You are the person I picked up with one hand, and I have also relied on you to fight in the east and west all these years to calm the rebellion for me." This time, it was not a rebellion, but it was more difficult and more dangerous. But with me, you can do it! I am in one day, and no one can lose you a bit! ”
Cao Cao was about to kneel down immediately, but was grabbed by Liu Wei.
"These false courtesies, you and I don't need them,"
Liu Wei shook Cao Cao's hand vigorously, smiled warmly, and said in a close tone: "If you have anything to say, what difficulties do you have, tell me directly!" ”
Cao Cao bowed, his breath seemed to be a little short, and he said in a deep voice: "The minister is willing to go to the soup for the fire, and he will not give up!" ”
Liu Wei looked at Cao Cao's bun without moving.
His words are a bit short, huh?
'Could it be, what did Jian Shuo really say to him?' ’
Liu Wei held Cao Cao and reasoned in his heart.
At the beginning of Liu Wei's accession to the throne, in order to balance the forces of all parties and sit firmly on the throne, he made great efforts to win over Jian Shuo, the general and the twelve permanent attendants who controlled the eighth lieutenant of the West Garden.
But how much Jian Shuo knew, Liu Wei thought about it for a long time, and he couldn't be sure.
Cao Cao's attitude towards Liu Wei also had many inconspicuous ups and downs and two unusual military moves.
"With the words of the Qing family, I am relieved."
Liu Wei's other hand was on Cao Cao's shoulder, patted it hard, and said, "I'll give you another privilege, Zhou Mu, cut first and then play!" ”
Poof
Cao Cao knelt on the ground, slammed his head on the ground, and said loudly: "Your Majesty's imperial grace is mighty, Cao Cao is terrified!" If this trip is not successful, it will become a benevolent! ”
Cao Cao, who was calm before, suddenly knelt on the ground.
'The reaction is a bit big, do you think that the power I gave me before is not enough? ’
Liu Wei took a deep look at Cao Cao's back, smiled and stretched out his hand to pull him up, and said: "I have already sent a decree to Zhao Yun, you can transfer 20,000 troops from the forbidden army camp, Qingzhou, Yanzhou, Jizhou, Qingzhou, Youzhou, I have gone to the will, rest assured and bold to do it!" ”
Cao Cao stood up, the corners of his face were uncontrollable, his eyes were as firm as iron, and he said, "Your Majesty, minister, retire!" ”
Liu Wei nodded, staring at his back.
The shoulders are big and the waist is round, straight as loose, and one step at a time is like a copy.
"If you don't succeed, you will be benevolent......"
Liu Wei chewed on Cao Cao's words, and always felt that there was something to be done.
'Separation of military and government' was a major policy set by Liu Wei at the beginning of his reign, in order to recover the military power of the local princes, reduce their power, and strengthen the control of the imperial court over the localities.
However, the Han court was weak, the treasury was empty, and there were many rebellions, and if there was not enough military power at the local level, not only would the rebellion be connived, but it would also make the powerful family take over the local area, further reducing the control of the imperial court.
Therefore, after so many years of implementation, except for the places that are stable enough, most of them are cautious and have little effect.
However, after years of preparation, coupled with the power of the eradication of Dong, the blocking 'New Deal' has reached a critical point, and it must enter the most difficult moment.
Government affairs are, and military politics is even more!
"Cao Cao, ......"
Liu Wei watched Cao Cao transfer to the Great Sima Mansion, and couldn't help but chuckle.
After so many years, Liu Wei still can't determine Cao Cao's true intentions.
"Your Majesty."
Xu Yan quietly walked over and whispered in Liu Yan's ear for a while.
Liu Wei's eyes widened slightly, and he sighed, "The queen mother went to Chen Liuwang's mansion, set up Fengyi, and brought gifts?" ”
Xu Yan said: "Yes, the Zhonghuangmen of the report said that the Queen Mother seems to be very happy." ”
Liu Wei just wanted to dispel Empress Dowager He's intention to kill Liu Xie, but he didn't expect that Empress Dowager He would go to Chenliu Wangfu in person.
After thinking about it, Liu Wei didn't think that Empress Dowager He would lose her proportion, so he said: "Let people keep an eye on it, if there is anything, notify me as soon as possible." ”
"Yes." Xu Yan responded.
Liu Wei's gaze turned from the Great Sima Mansion to Shang Shutai, and said, "Is the prime minister worthy?" ”
"Not yet." Xu Yan said: "However, Yuan Tan is already in the Yushitai, and he said that he will send the Tingwei Mansion to the court in the afternoon." ”
"Xun Yu handled this matter very calmly,"
Liu Wei showed approval on his face, and then said with great anticipation: "After dealing with this matter, it must be almost over, it's time to do something." ”
After preparing so much and for so long, Liu Wei was full of ambition.
On the other side, Cao Cao entered the Great Sima Mansion.
After carefully talking to Jia Xu, Cao Cao looked at him and said, "Wenhe, what do you think?" ”
Jia Xu looked thoughtful and said, "Judging from the general's relay, Your Majesty doesn't seem to be too relieved about the general. ”
Cao Cao's narrow eyes narrowed, even Guo Jia had never said this kind of thing, and everyone tacitly put it in their hearts.
Jia Xu and Cao Cao looked at each other, without fear or other emotions on their faces.
Cao Cao put his hands on his knees and said lightly: "Wenhe, this is the Great Sima Mansion, the person who persuaded me to stand on my own feet last time has been killed by me with my own hands." ”
Jia Xu still didn't have anything unusual, and said, "The lower officials know." ”
Cao Cao's eyes stared at Jia Xu like a poisonous snake, I don't know how long it took, he didn't see a trace of what he wanted to see on Jia Xu's face, he retracted his gaze, and said lightly: "Wenhe, what do you think, what should I do?" ”
"The general can do whatever he wants, and the general's exploits are not at this time." Jia Xu's tone was calm as usual.
"Three years?"
Cao Cao turned his head to look out the door, his eyes deep.
In the Shangshutai of the Jiade Palace, Zhong Xuan, Xun You, Liu Xie, Sima Jun, and Wang Lang were present, discussing the matter of 'Yuan Tan framing the prime minister'.
Liu Xie made a simple report and said: "At present, the public opinion in Luoyang City has been reversed, as long as Yuan Tan is judged, the case can be closed." ”
For Liu Xie, this case has little to do with him, but he just doesn't want to be involved in the court dispute.
Wang Lang was a little disappointed in his heart and said, "In the afternoon, I will judge it myself. ”
Xun You, Zhong Xuan didn't speak, the two of them already knew last night, and now they reacted calmly.
Sima Jun was like staying outside the court, watching the fire, coughing lightly, and said: "Yuan Tan's matter, how to judge, how to judge is simple, the key lies in Yuan Shao." Shang Shutai, is there a way to deal with it? ”
When Liu Xie and Wang Lang heard this, they turned to Xun Yu and Zhong Xuan, and their hearts were secretly moved.
So far, Xun Yu still hasn't shown up.
And Yuan Tan committed a capital crime, so he can't deal with Yuan Shao. But so far, they haven't heard a word at all.
It seems that they are members of the imperial court, but in fact they are still outside the core of power.
Zhong Xuan said: "This matter has been reported to the Great Sima Mansion, and the Great Sima Mansion has its own to deal with it." ”
"Then let's try it." A nameless fire rose in Wang Lang's heart and stood up directly.
Sima Jun was on crutches in his hand, as if he hadn't heard, and said, "There is another one, there are many people living in Honglu Temple." ”
In the Honglu Temple, there are 'protons' from all over the world, in addition to the territory of the Han Dynasty, there are also envoys such as Wuhuan, Xianbei, and Xiongnu.
If the imperial court kills Yuan Tan, it may have some impact and influence on those people.
Zhong Xuan nodded lightly and said, "What Sima Gong said is that I will personally explain and appease them." ”
Sima Jun didn't say much, he was on crutches, and slowly closed his eyes and pretended to sleep.
"Should I meet the prime minister?" Liu Xiedao.
There was such a big thing, and the prime minister hid from beginning to end, what is this called?
Xun You glanced at him meaninglessly and said, "The prime minister has other things to deal with." ”
Liu Xie wanted to ease the atmosphere, but when he saw Xun You's eyes, his heart was inexplicably sudden and he stopped answering.
He didn't know that Yuan Tan framed Xun Yu's backhand to blame him!
And at this time, the Empress Dowager He had already arrived at the Chenliu Palace.
Regarding the arrival of the Empress Dowager He, the Chenliu Mansion instantly became nervous and vigilant.
Princess Chen Liu's Fushou greeted the door tremblingly, and said thoughtfully: "The concubine has seen the queen mother." ”
For Empress Dowager He, it was simply a nightmare for Chen Liu's palace.
She is the murderer who poisoned Wang Rong, the biological mother of Liu Xie, the king of Chen Liu, in the mouth of Empress Dowager Dong, and she is also the one who has been eyeing Liu Xie and trying to kill Liu Xie.
Without waiting for Empress Dowager He to walk down Fengluan, Empress Dowager Dong hurried over.
She was full of white hair, her face was old, and she looked coldly at the Empress Dowager He who walked down.
Empress Dowager He was dressed in gorgeous clothes, and when she saw Empress Dowager Dong, although she was reluctant in her heart, she still bowed down quite respectfully and said: "The concubine has seen the queen mother." ”
Empress Dowager Dong was stunned, Empress Dowager He's reaction made her a little overwhelmed, and she didn't know how to react?
You must know that even if the first emperor was there, they all lived in the palace, and the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law were extremely untreatable, even in public, the Empress Dowager He was lukewarm to the Empress Dowager Dong, and she was even more reluctant to salute.
This is the first time this has happened!
After a while, Empress Dowager Dong woke up and said lightly: "The Empress Dowager is exempt." ”
"Thank you, Mother."
Empress Dowager He got up, her face bloomed like a flower, pulled Fu Shou over, and said, "Princess Chenliu is also exempt." When the palace heard that King Chen Liu's son had invited the prince, he thought that he was also the grandson of the palace, and his instinct was deviated. I came today to take a good look at the child. ”
Fu Shou was instantly cold, his face was tense, and his voice trembled: "Back to Niangniang, child, the child has already fallen asleep......"
Empress Dowager He didn't care so much, and waved her hand.
The yellow door behind him, the palace maid carried many things into the door, and placed them in the door.
A small yellow door stood inside the door and said in a sharp voice: "Princess Chenliu, the Queen Mother has a gift, and Princess Chenliu will be given ten brocades...... Give Prince Chen Liu, the golden lock of longevity......"
