Chapter 465: Acute

Although Liu Wei deliberately blocked the news of returning to the palace, the palace quickly knew about this notice and the second notice, and had to close the doors of the inner and outer courts.

Liu Wei and Qiao Wen existed for a while, and then came to Yongle Palace.

Empress Dowager He had already bought wine and food, and when she saw Liu Wei, she complained: "It's only half a year since you left, do you still know how to return to the palace?" ”

Liu Wei smiled and pleaded guilty, sat next to him, and saw Cai Wenji, Tang Ji, Liu Yu, and Liu Jing all there, and suddenly felt an unprecedented sense of satisfaction in his heart.

That's what it feels like to be at home, right? ’

Liu Wei said secretly in his heart, laughed with Empress Dowager He, asked Cai Wenji, Tang Ji's current situation, and then a pair of children.

Liu Yu and Liu Jing are both six years old, and they are still quite immature.

Liu Yu and Liu Jing are both naturally bold masters, and they squeezed into Liu Wei's arms in a few words, asking him to tell interesting stories along the way.

This kind of harmonious and joyful atmosphere is really hard to come by, and Liu Wei is also happy to be in it, and he didn't get drunk until late at night.

Yongning Palace.

Liu Wei was full of alcohol, hugged Cai Wenji, and asked about the big and small things in the palace.

The master of the harem is naturally Empress Dowager He, but Empress Dowager He has always only been in charge of 'big things', and 'small things' are basically Cai Wenji, Pan Yin, Xu Yan and others are responsible.

Cai Wenji answered all questions, spoke softly, and was quite cautious between her words.

When asked about a few children, Cai Wenji's answer was even more 'cherishing words like gold', and Cai Wenji almost said a word to Liu Yu and the third and fourth sons who were not yet half a year old.

Liu Bianzai listened carefully, endured the wine, and chuckled: "It's quite calm." Originally, three and four, I wanted Cai Gong to come and choose a name, but Cai Gong was very evasive. ”

Cai Wenji pillowed Liu Wei's arm, looked at his side face, and pursed her lips gently.

Cai Yong conspired with Wang Yun to 'establish the East Palace', which caused Liu Wei's anger, Wang Yun was razed, and Cai Yong was removed from all official positions and driven out of Luoyang.

It wasn't until a few years later, when time passed, and Liu Wei highlighted Liu Shao's status in order to stabilize the court situation, that Cai Yong was able to return to Luoyang.

In the past few years, he has honestly studied in the East and did not dare to meddle in the affairs of the imperial court.

Liu Wei glanced down at Cai Wenji, hugged her hard, and said, "Okay, don't think too much." Shao'er is my eldest son, and he will be the prince in the future, and he is the best candidate. The reason why I didn't stand was because it was for his good. This 'East Palace Prince' is the most difficult and dangerous position in the world, no matter who sits, it is a big murderer......"

Cai Wenji had actually heard similar words once, raised her head and looked at Liu Bian, and said softly: "That's not what the concubine meant,......

Liu Wei smiled, hugged her tightly, and said, "Okay, I know, don't talk about him about these things." There is a sacrifice next month, and you and Shao'er will go on my behalf. ”

Cai Wenji's eyes lit up and said, "Shao'er is coming back?" ”

Liu Wei snorted, and couldn't help but think of the floods everywhere again.

Cai Wenji saw that Liu was distracted, and suddenly said: "Your Majesty, the concubine heard from my father that there have been many people in Luoyang City recently, and the atmosphere is a little strange. ”

"Eccentric? What's weird? Liu Wei said with a smile.

'Cao Cao's slaughter of the three cities' and 'the matter of Yuzhou' have stirred up the world, and it is not strange that there are many people in Luoyang, and it is not strange if there are not many.

Cai Wenji frowned lightly and said, "Father can't say it, he doesn't know many people, he just heard about them." ”

Liu Wei raised his eyebrows, there are not many old people in the court now, Cai Yong is considered to be an 'old' group, and he doesn't even know people, it is really legendary.

……

And at this moment, the lights in Shangshutai are bright, and not only the 'Big Three' are in Shangshutai, but even the big and small officials are all on duty.

Zhong Miao took an official document out of the duty room, came to Xun Yu's duty room, and saw that Zhong Yu was also there, his brows furrowed imperceptibly, and then stepped forward and said, "Look at Wu Jingshang's script." ”

Zhong Yu was talking to Xun Yu about this year's autumn exam, and as soon as Xun Yu entered the door, he kept talking and looked at him.

Xun Yu calmly did not move, took it and read it carefully, handed it to Zhong Xuan, and said to Xun You: "What do you think?" ”

Xun You snorted coldly and said, "I actually put the responsibility on Shang Shutai, I think he is dizzy!" ”

Zhong Xuan read the ten lines at a glance, and said a little tiredly: "His words are not unreasonable. ”

Wu Jing's notebook planned a detailed plan for river governance, elevating the matter of river governance to the 'first class' of the imperial court, and made a complete explanation of the strategy for river governance, the entry and exit of money and grain, supervision, inspection, and so on.

Just looking at this recital, it must be from a capable official with rich experience in river management and serving the country and the people.

"That doesn't hide his intention to shirk responsibility!" Xun Yu said dissatisfiedly.

Xun Yu nodded approvingly and said, "How do you think he should reply to this script?" ”

Xun You said directly: "Gongcao has such a big fraud case, Wu Jing can't escape the blame, I think I will be detained first, waiting for His Majesty's will!" ”

Zhong Xuan was silent for a moment and said, "Wu Jing is Sun Ce's uncle, and if he moves, it will ruin the imperial court's plans." ”

Wu County was a strategically important place connecting the two states of Xu and Yang, and the imperial court had been trying to support Sun Ce and balance Yuan Shao in order to gain time.

If Wu Jing is disposed of and Sun Ce is forced to defect to Yuan Shao or rebel, it will be more than worth the loss.

Xun You naturally understood this truth, looked at the two of them with blazing eyes, and said, "You said, Your Majesty took Sun Ce away from Wu County, has he already noticed the matter of governing the river and made arrangements in advance?" ”

Zhong Yu was stunned, and immediately looked at Xun Yu.

With his knowledge of His Majesty in the palace, this is highly likely!

Xun Yu pondered for a while and said, "I don't rule out this possibility." However, the stakes are high and the stakes need to be taken into account. ”

Xun Yu was not satisfied with Xun Yu's hesitation, and said in a deep voice: "That can't be left alone, my opinion is that he will be detained in the Yushitai first, and then he will be investigated and judged together!" ”

Zhong Yu and Xun Yu glanced at each other, looked at Xun Yu, and said, "Wu Jing, it's a trivial matter." Cao Cao will soon arrive in Beijing, and the imperial court must show an attitude. Otherwise, there will be chaos in the government and the opposition, and something big will happen! ”

Xun You couldn't see that Xun Yu and Zhong Yu were deliberately delaying, and he was angry in his heart, and said, "You are appeasement!" ”

Xun Yu said: "Gongda, Wu Jing's matter can be disposed of at any time, so let's put it aside for the time being." After Cao Cao arrived in Beijing, what should he do? ”

'Cao Cao slaughtered the three cities' has been very noisy, spread all over the world, Luoyang City is even more crowded, shouting and killing like thunder, filling the streets and alleys.

If he Shi Shiran entered the city and returned to the mansion leisurely, let alone the people outside, the three of them would not be able to accept it.

Xun You suppressed his anger and said, "In my opinion, I will be directly detained in the Yushitai and sent someone to guard it." ”

Zhong Xuan shook his head and said, "No." Cao Cao's case has not yet been determined, and direct detention is equivalent to guilt, and we have little room for maneuver. ”

"Then the Great Sima Mansion." Xun Yu Dao.

Xun Yu saw that he was angry, thought about it, took out an official document from under the table, put it back for a while, and then took it out again, handed it to Xun Yu, and said, "Gongda, you take a look at this first." ”

Xun Yu was curious about what Xun Yu was hesitating about, so he stretched out his hand to take it, but he was stunned when he saw it, and said, "Cao Song? Tian Feng? Yu Shicheng? ”

He had three doubts in a row, and when he finished reading it, his expression was slightly indifferent, and he said, "Cao Song recommended Tian Feng as the imperial historian?" Is this what Your Majesty means? ”

Cao Song has been dismissed for many years, and Cao Cao has been very low-key for the government and the opposition for many years.

He suddenly came out and recommended a Peijun Taishou as the imperial historian, things were strange, and after thinking about it a little, Xun You thought of the palace.

"I got news from the palace,"

Xun Yu looked at Xun Yu and said, "Zhicai went to the Tingwei Mansion." ”

Xun You's eyes widened slightly, stunned and stunned, for a long time, he couldn't help but sigh, and said, "Your Majesty...... What a good way to do it. ”

This is a change of their 'Yingchuan Party' and 'Yang Party'.

Wang Lang was the official Cao Shangshu, and Xi Zhicai was the court lieutenant, and their 'Yingchuan Party' also lost control of the Yushitai.

This comes and goes, and they lose a lot!

Is this the palace's suppression of their 'Yingchuan Party'?

Zhong Xuan was silent when he saw Xun You's sigh, and then said: "Gongda, the wise man must know how to advance and retreat, and the matter of Cao Cao, you have to let go and let go." ”

What Xun You has done in the past few days in the official Cao, naturally he can't hide Xun Yu and Zhong Xuan, and he is suddenly promoted, appointed and dismissed, and deliberately changes the blood of the official Cao, obviously to block Wang Lang.

Xun You glanced up at them and said lightly: "If I let go, your orders will not even be able to come out of Luoyang." ”

Zhong Xuan had a serious face, wanting to say something, but he opened his mouth and didn't make a sound.

Xun You's words, of course, are righteous and awe-inspiring to cover up his selfishness, but in fact it is true.

Once the support of the 'Yingchuan Party' is lost, Shangshutai will become a tree without roots, which seems to be flourishing but in fact has no foundation, like a castle in the air.

Xun Yu also knew the difficulties and said, "Talk about Cao Cao." My idea is to prevent him from entering the city, and place him outside the city, waiting for His Majesty to return to Beijing and find out the holy will before making a decision. ”

Xun You took a deep breath and said, "You better ask the palace first, I think Your Majesty has already made up his mind for Cao Cao." ”

Zhong Yu reacted quickly and said to Xun Yu: "Prime Minister, what Gongda said is reasonable. So many things have happened recently, and it is understandable that His Majesty was silent in the early stage, but now, there should not be no movement, perhaps, it is possible that there are already arrangements. ”

Xun Yu was reminded by this, as if he had thought of something, and nodded: "Gongda, tomorrow's meeting, the appointment of Cao, Tingwei, and Yu Shicheng will be passed tomorrow and will be in office within three days." Cui Jun and Sima Fang's affairs were also dealt with. As for Wu Jing, hand it over to Tian Fenglai. ”

Xun Yu looked at Xun Yu, suspicious in his heart, and said, "You ......"

Xun Yu got up suddenly and said, "I'll go to see King Chen Liu, Gongda, you go to see Wang Lang, make it clear to him, don't have a dispute tomorrow." Yuan Chang, you go to see Tian Feng and explain it to him carefully. ”

Xun Yu knew that Xun Yu had something to hide from him, but he didn't ask and got up.

While talking, the three of them walked out of Shangshutai and walked out of the palace.

Outside the Suzaku Gate, Xun Yu turned to the west of the city, while Xun Yu and Zhong Yu turned to the east of the city.

Xun You looked back at the backs of the two of them in the dark night, and he suppressed anger in his heart.

In the past, he and Zhong Xuan stood side by side, and I don't know when Zhong Xuan stood on Xun Yu's side.

And Zhong Xuan and Xun Yu walked side by side, walking towards Chen Liu's palace.

Zhong Xuan saw that he was not far away, so he said: "Prime Minister, do you intend to branch Gongda?" ”

Xun Yu nodded, his expression was gentle, and said, "During the day, I seem to have seen the Zijia. ”

"Zijia?"

Zhong Xuan was stunned and said, "Hasn't he been accompanying His ......Majesty all the time?"

Suddenly, Zhong Yu reacted, paused, looked at Xun Yu in surprise, and said in a low voice: "You mean, Your Majesty has returned to the palace?" ”

Xun Yu nodded and said, "There is indeed something abnormal in the palace today, and now that I think about it, it should be Your Majesty who has returned to the palace." ”

Zhong Xuan's face also subconsciously relaxed, and the whole person seemed to have unloaded a thousand catties of burden, and said to himself: "Okay, your majesty has returned to Beijing, then everything can be decided, saving us from worrying about labor." ”

Xun Yu walked briskly and said, "What needs to be done has to be done." ”

Zhong Xuan said: "That's right. Here in Luoyang, don't worry. Yanzhou and Yuzhou still have to be appeased, and I will find a chance to go again. ”

Xun Yu looked at the dark road ahead, and said with a flickering gaze: "Yuan Chang, have you noticed that Luoyang City has been a little different recently. ”

Zhong Xuan said: "Zhou Yi reported to me, and suddenly a lot of people poured in, full of ghosts, as if they were plotting something. Zhou Yi quietly took a few people, but he didn't find anything. ”

Xun Yu nodded and said, "Find time, I want to talk to Zhang Yang, strengthen the defense of Luoyang, and if necessary, transfer troops from the forbidden army camp and station them outside Luoyang City." ”

Zhong Xuan frowned and said, "You mean, someone is plotting against you?" In Luoyang? Are you too sensitive? ”

"Hopefully."

Xun Yu let out a long breath, during this time, he was indeed a little tired, and said, "Be prepared." Cao Cao's matter must be concluded as soon as possible. This heavy rain came too suddenly, and this year's summer tax will definitely be greatly reduced, and we have to plan again. ”

In this, the word 'money and food' is involved.

Zhong Xuan instantly pressed his shoulders again, and said, "I'll go to Qianzhuang again, but I can't give up too much hope." ”

In just half a year, the money and grain from the royal money village to Shangshutai were as high as 60,000, not counting other indirect gifts.

The royal bank's treasury is not a treasury, and it is impossible for them to keep it out all the time.

Xun Yu groaned and said, "I plan to continue to issue bonds." ”

Zhong Xuan, who has always supported Xun Yu, did not speak this time.

Since Liu Wei succeeded to the throne, for a long time, the imperial court relied on 'borrowing' to live, and it was not repaid for a while, almost bankrupting the reputation of the imperial court.

It is only right that there is borrowing and repaying, but the income of the imperial court is so much, and the debt will be higher and higher, what if it really can't be repaid in the future?

Moreover, the imperial court cannot always rely on borrowing to live, which will collapse one day.

"Prime Minister,"

Suddenly, a small official ran behind them, hurriedly came to them, and whispered behind Xun Yu: "Prime Minister, there is news that Cao Sima has just entered the city. ”

Xun Yu and Zhong Xuan glanced at each other, and they both saw a look of shock in each other's eyes.
