Huangfu Jian's expression was solemn, and he said, "Weichen is still investigating." ”

Liu Wei pondered for a while, and said, "I remember, Liaodong is too guarded by Gongsun Du, it seems that it was recommended by Liu Gong?" ”

"Yes." Lu Yu said.

Before Lu Zhi died, he vigorously supported Cao Cao; Before Liu Yu died, he did not have any inheritance, but recommended Gongsun Du to serve as the Taishou of Liaodong, and once mentioned to Liu Wei that he hoped that Gongsun Du would take over as the pastor of Youzhou.

Liu Wei groaned and said, "Okay, let them be." ”

The net has already begun to be woven, as for how many fish will be caught, Liu Wei doesn't think about it now, if he thinks too much, he will lose the surprise.

Huangfu replied and quietly retreated.

The rain outside was heavier, and there was no sound except for the crackling sound, and the sewage on the ground flowed like a river.

Zhao Yun stood behind a big tree on a high ground, vigilantly observing the surroundings.

The person who followed him was very clever and did not come closer, and followed from a distance, with an unknown purpose.

But from their cautious actions, it is clear enough - someone recognized Liu Wei with bad intentions!

The rain was still falling, but the 'enemy' never moved.

Dian Wei, Zhao Yun, Huangfu Jianchang, Sun Ce and others did not dare to be careless, patrolling back and forth, and also used means to probe, but those people were better than monkeys, never willing to take risks, retreated at every turn, and disappeared in the heavy rain.

Early the next morning, Liu Wei sorted out the notebook beside him, stood up, moved his stiff body, felt his eyes sour, came to the door, followed the rain, and rubbed his face fiercely.

Lu Yu squinted for a while, and then he was a little energetic, and said, "Your Majesty, Weichen has already let people cook ......"

Liu Bianchang took a breath, looked at the endless heavy rain, and said: "I won't eat it, let the soldiers eat well, and in half an hour, let's continue to set off." ”

Lu Yu thought that there were still a lot of snacks, so he said, "Yes." ”

Dian Wei came in from outside, shook the water on his head, and said in an urn voice: "Your Majesty, the carriage can't go, there is water everywhere." ”

Liu Wei stood at the door, with his hands behind his back, looking at the heavy rain, and said, "That's not good, you can't waste time here." ”

Dian Wei looked back and said, "Your Majesty, it's not easy to walk on foot." ”

Liu Wei waved his hand and said, "No matter how difficult it is, you have to go." ”

When everyone saw Liu Bian's insistence, they stopped persuading.

However, even Lu Yu and Dian Wei thought that Liu Wei would not last long, in their opinion, Liu Wei was pampered and had been living in the palace, and he had not experienced the hardships of the real muddy road of the people at all.

Not long after, Huangfu Jian rushed over and said, "Your Majesty, are you trying to lure the enemy deep and annihilate them in one fell swoop?" ”

Liu Wei was stunned, shook his head and said: "This is Peng Chengguo, if you want to completely exterminate me, unless you use the city defense army, at least two or three thousand people can ensure that nothing goes wrong, which is equivalent to Peng Chengguo pouring out, and Zhenrong is not so bold." ”

Hearing this, Huangfu Jian hesitated and said, "Your Majesty, it's better to be careful." ”

Liu Wei didn't care much about the so-called 'tailgators', looked at the heavy rain outside, and suddenly said: "In the past few years, there have been great droughts and floods, and the people are not having a good time, right?" ”

Huangfu Jian looked back at it, and had no choice but to change the topic and say, "Yes." Qing, Henan, Xu, Yan, and Hebei suffered a serious drought last year, and many places failed to harvest. Your Majesty is benevolent and has pardoned the money and grain taxes in many places, and the people are extremely grateful to Dade and praise His Majesty's forgiveness. ”

Liu Wei's eyes narrowed slightly, his gaze turned to Huangfu Jianchang, and he said with a different smile: "The second son's sycophancy, it's a little sudden." ”

The encounter between Huangfu Jianchang and Liu Wei was almost not beaten to death by Liu Bian, but later, in front of Liu Bian, no matter how calm and unhurried he was, his heart was always tense, and he rarely made sycophants.

Huangfu Jian hurriedly said: "Weichen doesn't dare. ”

Liu Wei's gaze stayed on his face, his heart moved slightly, and he turned to Lu Yu.

Lu Yu quietly bowed his head, not daring to look at Liu Wei.

Liu Wei couldn't help laughing, put his hands behind his back, looked up at the pouring rain, and said, "I'll analyze it." Your second son has always been frivolous and casual, the Huangfu family has two marquis, the Huangfu Qing family has passed away, your brothers are all close ministers of me, and the glory and power are only a handful in the world. If you can make your second son take the risk of slapping me in front of me, I think about it, there is only my brother, and your brother is not keen on power, based on party struggle, and similarly, he is not a person who asks for help easily, especially your only brother. Most of the things that can make your brother speak are state affairs, and what makes him embarrassed, and he has to borrow your mouth to stab me in front of me, think about it, there is only Shang Shutai......"

Huangfu Jianchang's face tightened, and he knelt on the ground with a puff, and said, "Minister, minister, minister is guilty!" ”

Liu Wei disagreed, Yu Guang glanced at Lu Yu, and said, "Even you are silent, think this matter is quite big?" ”

Lu Yu didn't kneel, bowed down, and said in a panic, "Weichen, Weichen has received a few letters from the palace, saying yes, saying that Shangshutai is brewing and adding endowments, but it is just a discussion, and the case has not yet been finalized. ”

Liu Wei raised his eyebrows, he really didn't know about this matter, but he could make Huangfu Jianshou can't wait to write to Huangfu Jianchang and stab the matter to him, most of them have been discussed in private, or in other words, with most of the consensus, Huangfu Jianshou has no choice but to make this decision.

Liu Wei put his hands behind his back and thought slowly.

Since he succeeded to the throne, the Han Dynasty has faced a desperate situation of falling apart, so he has been trying his best to stabilize both internally and externally, buying time for himself and renewing his life for the Han Dynasty.

On top of this goal, he reduced and reduced local taxes again and again, and exempted them again and again.

After so many years, the vitality of the six northern states of Dahan has recovered, and there is indeed a basis for the recovery of some taxes.

But 'tax increases' have always been a double-edged sword, especially in troubled times, it is simply a life-threatening talisman.

Xun Yu, Zhong Xuan, Xun You and others are not clear, although they are facing an embarrassing situation in the treasury, but over the years, Liu Wei has repeatedly vetoed the proposal of the imperial court to raise taxes, and now Xun Yu and others have raised taxes again, indicating that the treasury is really seriously short of money and has to do it.

Liu Wei pondered for a long time, glanced at the emperor on the ground, and said lightly: "What is the intention of the emperor Fu Jianshou to do this?" ”

Huangfu Jian slammed his head on the ground, his back was cold, and said: "Back to Your Majesty, my brother's letter said that it is best to persuade Your Majesty to stop Shangshutai and not let them complete the case, otherwise even if Your Majesty vetoes it afterwards, the local government will take the opportunity to collect it, and it is the people who suffer." ”

Liu Wei nodded lightly and said, "Get up." ”

Huangfu stood up, his expression still tense and worried.
