Chapter 436: Ambition
If that imperial brother really couldn't see something they didn't want him to see, it couldn't be said to be the fury of thunder, implicating countless people.
In the end, they will be the ones who will bear the consequences.
Xun Yu naturally understood the meaning of Liu Xie's words, paced, and said, "I have asked Cui Jun to report to Beijing." Your Royal Highness, all walks of life have supervised the imperial history, and the results have been minimal. ”
Obviously, Xun Yu didn't want to talk more about Pingyuan County, so he changed the topic.
Liu Xie didn't know what Xun Yu was thinking, so he was silent for a while, and said: "According to the rules, what is found in the supervision of the imperial history needs to be handed over to the chief officials of the prefectures, counties and counties, and the prefecture keeps writing to me, thinking that the initial chaos in the prefecture is undecided, and he has repeatedly asked for stability. ”
"Your Highness has thought too much,"
Xun Yu said: "Bingzhou is not a division, nor is it Yanzhou or Jizhou, it is chaotic, beneficial and harmless." ”
Liu Xie turned his head to look at Xun Yu, and his heart became more and more strange about his attitude.
Hasn't this prime minister been seeking stability?
"Your Highness,"
Dong Cheng caught up from behind, raised his hand and said, "Prime Minister." ”
Xun Yu turned his head, frowned slightly, and said, "Chen Liuxiang is still in Luoyang?" ”
Dong Cheng hurriedly laughed and said, "Back to the prime minister, there are still some things to report to the official Cao, and the servant Xun will stay with me for a few more days." ”
Xun Yu was just about to speak, when he saw Xun Yu coming towards him.
Xun You's expression was flat, and he came to the front and greeted Liu Xie, "Your Highness." ”
Liu Xie didn't feel strange when he saw that he didn't give Xun Yu a gift, the two were uncles and nephews, and their relationship had always been close, so he smiled and said: "Xun Servant, do you have something to do with me Chen Liu, how many more days do you want to stay in the country?" ”
Xun You clasped his hands and said with a smile: "It's mainly the Wang family's business." ”
Liu Xie's expression moved slightly, and he didn't answer.
The Wang family, that is, the prince's suit, has to involve his royal brother again.
According to the information he received, the forbidden army killed nearly 100 people in a remote village. The inside story is still obscure.
Xun Yu looked at Xun Yu and said, "Something?" ”
Xun You also looked at him and said, "I have read the list on the side of the Imperial Historical Observatory, and the official Cao held a meeting and decided to deal with it in accordance with the opinions of the Imperial Historical Observatory. ”
Xun Yu's eyes moved imperceptibly, and said, "I know." By the way, there is one more thing, I want to inform you that Cao Cao transferred another 10,000 people from the forbidden army camp. ”
Xun Yu immediately sank and said, "What is he going to do?" Yanzhou has Huang Zhong's army of 30,000, even if there is a rebellion, it is enough to suppress it, what is he transferring troops for? ”
Xun Yu shook his head and said, "The Great Sima Mansion is just a routine report, but since Cao Cao has transferred troops, it should be His Majesty's royal approval." ”
Xun You's expression became more solemn, and said, "Yanzhou, isn't there any more news?" Cao Cao originally brought 20,000, and now he has 10,000, what is his intention? ”
Liu Xie also thought about it, Yanzhou is a critical place, close to Si Li, and any wind and grass will cause Si Li's vibration.
Xun Yu looked at him and said, "I'm just informing you that Huang Zhong is still reliable." ”
Huang Zhong, Zhang Liao, Zhao Yun, these people are all picked up by Liu Wei from the end of the micro, they have nothing to do with the family, and they have been around for a lot of time, and they are also quite cautious on weekdays, impartial and non-party, and they are quite trusted by the government and the opposition.
Xun You was very uneasy about Cao Cao, thought about it, and said, "He Hao, what are you going to do?" ”
He Hao was dismissed by Xun Yu and placed under house arrest in Honglu Temple for almost two months.
"Wait,"
Xun Yu groaned with a deep expression, and said: "In terms of the rule of officials, it is necessary to advance quickly, whether it is a high-ranking official of the imperial court, a state pastor, a thorn history, a county guard, a county order, or a low-end official, but if there is a defect in conduct, all of them will be eliminated, and they cannot be tolerated." ”
'Lack of conduct', these four words cover almost all of a person's behavior, both ethics and behavior.
Xun Yu's words were plain, but in Xun Yu's ears, there seemed to be the sound of swords, and the killing suddenly started.
The corners of Xun You's face twitched, and his face was expressionless.
He also wanted to use the one hundred and ten people in exchange for Xun Yu's concession, but he never thought that Xun Yu not only had to retreat, but also had to make inch.
Liu Xie obviously sensed that the atmosphere was wrong, and said with a smile: "Prime Minister, Xun Servant, I still have some things to do with Dong Guoxiang, so I will take the first step." ”
Xun Yu, Xun Yu hurriedly saluted and watched Liu Xie leave.
In any case, Liu Xie is also the younger brother and prince of the current emperor, and as a courtier, there should be no less courtesy.
When Liu Xie left, Xun You and Xun Yu were speechless, and after a while, Xun You said: "Cao Cao, are you so relieved?" ”
Xun Yu stepped forward and said, "What do you want to say?" ”
Xun You walked side by side with him and said: "For the big exam, the government and the opposition reacted strongly, thinking that they were deprived of the right to recommend, and the number of people who signed up for the big exam this year has plummeted. ”
Xun Yu said: "Since the Spring and Autumn Period, even if it is recommended, it is also to be assessed, and now it is just a unified assessment, how can they be deprived of the right to recommend?" Is someone using the topic to play again and express dissatisfaction? ”
Xun Yu didn't seem to hear Xun Yu's accusation and scolding, and said: "I mean, the big exam should be presided over by Cao and Taichang Temple, not Licao." ”
Xun Yu glanced at him quietly, and said, "I remember, Chen Lin was recommended by you." ”
Chen Lin, the new Licao Shangshu.
"I'm talking about the reasonableness of the regulations, not who is responsible for Cao Shangshu, and in this regard, I am not selfish." Xun You's expression was indifferent, and his steps were calm.
Xun Yu shook his head and said, "This matter was decided by His Majesty, and I have no right to change it." The official Cao issued a document that for those who openly resist admission and the big examination, as well as the scholars, they can be banned from taking the examination and entering the office, and according to the seriousness of the circumstances, they can be banned from one year to five years to permanently. ”
Seeing that Xun Yu's oil and salt did not enter, Xun Yu couldn't help but snort coldly, and said, "Why are you cutting off your arms like this, hurting others and hurting yourself?" ”
Xun Yu paced slowly and said, "Go to my house at night to sit down?" ”
Xun You flicked his sleeves and strode away.
At this time, Chen Quncai quickly followed and said in a low voice: "Prime Minister, more than a dozen county guards in the four prefectures of Yan, Hebei, and Youyou jointly wrote a letter to oppose the imperial court's rectification of the rule of officials, believing that it would damage local stability, and suggesting that the 'separation of military and government' be postponed so as to facilitate them to eliminate bandits and stabilize the people's livelihood. ”
Xun Yu stopped, clasped his hands, looked at Xun Yu's back, shook his head lightly, and said, "I have expected it, about the Jiupin Zhongzheng system, you have to sort it out as soon as possible." ”
The Jiupin Zhongzheng system is a very important 'weapon' for Xun Yu's rectification and purging of officials, and it is very important in the plan.
"The subordinate officer takes the order." Chen Qundao, his expression was inevitably excited.
After several years of training, he is less immature and proud of the past, and more mature and steady.
Dong Cheng followed Liu Xie back to Chenliu Palace, and the two sat opposite each other, talking about the big and small affairs of the government and the opposition and Chenliu County.
"You, really haven't seen Your Majesty in Chenliu?" Liu Xie asked, his voice somewhat uneasy.
If Dong Cheng had seen Liu Wei in Chenliujun, he might have planted an unpredictable curse.
Dong Zhuo said with a straight face: "Your Highness, rest assured, I haven't seen it yet." ”
Liu Xie relieved his heart and said, "Then it's not a big deal, as long as it's good to be rectified." On the Wang family's side, I'll take care of it. ”
Dong Cheng wasn't too worried, his eyes flickered for a while, and he suddenly said with a worried face: "Your Highness, now that Your Majesty has left Beijing, Luoyang City is not guarded, if there is a small rebellion, how can it be good?" ”
Liu Xie looked calm and said: "Don't worry, there are more than 30,000 elites in Luoyang, and there are no bandits around, even if there is a rebellion, it is enough to support the reinforcements from Hedong to arrive." ”
Dong admitted that he really nodded, but he didn't care in his heart, thinking about it, he couldn't help but lean closer, and said in a low voice: "Your Highness, I heard some people mention the edict of the first emperor again, you tell me truthfully, is there really this edict?" ”
Liu Xie's face was slightly gloomy, but he didn't think much about it, this matter was mentioned from time to time, thinking that Dong Cheng also cared about him, and directly vetoed: "I have never heard of it, neither did my grandmother, and neither did the twelve permanent attendants at that time." This incident did not appear until the Yuan Shu rebellion. ”
His meaning is very simple, this 'edict of the first emperor' is an excuse concocted by Yuan Shu to rebel.
Dong Cheng was unwilling, and he was afraid that asking too many questions would make Liu Xie suspicious, so he sat back with a sigh of relief, and said with a smile: "That's good, that's good, if you really have it, that's a disaster." ”
Liu Xie was also happy, and said with a stiff smile on his face: "Fortunately, I didn't, otherwise my grandmother and I would definitely not be able to live now." ”
Dong Cheng knows how Liu Xie and Empress Dowager Dong have come over the years, it can be said that they are trembling, walking on thin ice, and may die at any time.
Thinking like this, Dong Cheng felt a little uncomfortable in his heart, as if something that originally belonged to him had been snatched away, but he said with a smile on his face: "Your Highness, according to you, what is the biggest threat to my Han Dynasty now?" ”
Liu Xie took a sip of tea, relieved his mood, and said, "Yuan Shao is the first to be recommended, followed by Sun Ce." ”
Yuan Shao can be said to be recognized as a 'quasi-rebel' by the government and the opposition at present, and his rebellion is only a matter of time. And Sun Ce, because he acted perversely and had many lawlessness, the reason why he was ranked before Liu Biao, Liu Zhang, and Sanqiang was because Sun Ce was too fierce.
In the battle against Dong Zhuo, Sun Ce performed the most eye-catching, defeating Lu Bu and Dong Zhuo all the way, killing Xiangxian, Cao Cao and others, and could only follow behind to eat ashes.
Dong Cheng listened, and his heart understood.
The place where Qiao Mao is going is most likely Wu Jun and Huiji.
If Yuan Shao rebelled, the first to bear the brunt would be Yuzhou, and Yuzhou was connected to Sili, and at most half a month, he would be able to come to the city.
One can stop him, one is Sun Ce, and the other is Liu Bei from Yuzhou.
Liu Bei is a well-known incompetent, who has almost no achievements and will only sell his reputation.
What if Sun Ce rebelled together?
Thinking of this, Dong Cheng felt a thrill in his heart, and blurted out: "What His Highness said is true." ”
Liu Xie looked at him with some confusion and said, "What's the matter with you?" ”
Dong Cheng shook his head again and again, and then said with a smile: "It's okay." I just heard some gossip, and I was inevitably a little apprehensive. ”
Liu Xie nodded sympathetically and said, "It doesn't matter if you hear too much." I'll speak for you, don't worry. ”
Dong Cheng was preoccupied and nodded in response.
There are two flowers, one on each branch.
When Liu Wei passed through Langya County and rushed to Xiapi, he summoned Sun Ce's edict and had already arrived in Wu County, Wucheng.
Sun Ce sat on the main seat, looking at the edict, his expression was silent, and his brows were twisted into Sichuan characters.
Below him sat Cheng Pu and Gu Yong.
Cheng Pu looked pensive and did not speak.
This edict came inexplicably, and once you go to Xiapi, it will be unpredictable!
"What does Mr. Gu think?" For a long time, Sun Ce raised his head and looked at Gu Yongdao with a sword in his eyes.
As a great family of Wu County, the Gu family and the Sun family have long been bound together, and Gu Yong's appearance as Wu Chenghou is a matter of course and logical.
Gu Yong is less than thirty years old, but he is quite plump, giving people a sense of calm and powerful.
He just groaned and said, "Sun Hou, go!" When nothing happens. ”
Cheng Pu was startled and looked up at him.
"What do you mean by that, sir?" Sun Ce hurriedly asked. Gu Yong has long been famous, he has been a very early administer, and he has been a county magistrate for three terms in Wu County.
Gu Yong's expression was as usual, he raised his hand to Sun Ce, and said: "Back to Sun Hou, first, the imperial court needs Wu County to stop Yuan Shao." Second, the imperial court tried its best to urge Sun and Liu to marry, so they asked Sun and Liu to jointly govern Yuan Shao. Third, the marriage between Zhou Gongjin and Sun Hou was also to strengthen Wu County. Fourth, in the city of Luoyang, Wu and the two envoys picked up one after another, and the imperial court intended to raise Wu County. On the whole, Xia Guan believes that it is not yet the time for the bird to hide the bow. ”
When Sun Ce heard this, his heart moved, and he immediately looked at Cheng Pu.
Cheng Pu thought about it again and again, and said: "Sun Hou, this matter is difficult to say, according to my words, it is better to find an excuse to shirk." ”
Cheng Pu couldn't say why, but he was faintly uneasy.
Sun Ce looked at Gu Yong again, and he was also calculating in his heart.
Seeing this, Gu Yong said without thinking: "Sun Hou, if you don't go, the court will be suspicious, or drive the wolf and devour the tiger, or fight with Yuan Shao, Sun Hou does not establish the name of loyalty and integrity, how to base himself on the troubled times, how to plan for a great cause?" ”
Sun Ce's eyes changed suddenly, and he immediately said in a deep voice: "What Mr. Gu said is reasonable. Replying to the angel, Ben Hou immediately set off and went to Xiapi to meet the saint. ”
"The subordinate officer takes the order." Gu Yong got up, and then withdrew to see the angel.
Cheng Pu was still worried, but he had nothing to say, because what Gu Yong said was reasonable.
At the same time, Xiapi, where Liu Wei was going, was quite lively.
In the martial arts arena outside Xiapi City, Lu Bu held a halberd, stepped across the white horse, and was undefeated in a fierce battle with dozens of people, shouting again and again, and the sound of swords and soldiers rushed into the sky.
Zhang Liao stood on the high platform, looking at the brave and incomparable Lu Bu, with an indifferent expression.
There were several pro-soldiers standing behind him, and he could see his right hand holding the big sword open in the tiger's mouth, and blood continued to flow out.
Several pro-soldiers also looked at Lu Bu, who was invincible in the martial arts arena, and was secretly shocked in their hearts.
In the past, it has always been rumored that Lu Bu was brave and invincible, and he was undefeated in the battle against the three brothers of Liu Guan and Zhang, but they were all rumors, and there were not many people who experienced it.
Now, they see it with their own eyes.
Their Zhonglang general is also a fierce general, and he has few opponents in the army, but in the hands of Lu Bu, ten convergences have not been able to hold up.
That is, in the martial arts arena, if it is a battlefield, maybe Zhang Liao will be beheaded by Lu Bu in about five moves.
This Lu Bu is a peerless fierce man!
Zhang Liao looked at it for a long time, took a deep breath, and said in a deep voice: "How long will Your Majesty arrive?" ”
A pro-soldier clasped his hand and said: "There is still half a day at most, and Zhao Zhonglang may arrive early." ”
