Even if I become Sikong, am I competent?

Chapter 713

When he came to the front hall and went up the steps, Zhou Zhong saw the full court hall.

Da Sinong Liu Ba was speaking, and his attitude was very fierce.

"Situ is not in the capital, so your Situ's mansion will not do anything? What do you, Situ Changshi, do? Use Situ's practice as an excuse, are you a puppet? Let me tell you, you are defending the township party!"

Before the words were finished, a civil official about fifty years old stood up, bowed to the emperor on the throne, and then turned to look at Liu Ba, glaring at each other.

"Above the court, facts are the most important thing. Da Sinong accused me of being conservative and unwilling to change the rules easily. I accept criticism, and whether to change or not is another matter. But you said that I defend the township party and violate the imperial edict. It's really a crime of intentional crime. If you can't produce evidence, I will sue you for defamation!"

"Isn't it evidence that Jingzhao mulberry fields have been occupied?" Liu Ba turned around and took out a document from the case, held it in his hand, and said loudly: "At the end of last year, the number of mulberry fields reported in the Jingzhao newspaper was more than the number of mulberry fields just checked. More than 100 hectares. Even if there is no new mulberry field today, even if there is a land subsidence, the loss will not be so much. What's more, as far as Dasinong Temple knows, even during the New Year, all counties are actively reclaiming mulberry fields, and this year there is no massive disaster."

Liu Ba turned to Situ Changshi. "I would like to ask, how does Situ Mansion explain this? Don't say you don't know. A month ago, Da Si Nong Temple notified Situ Mansion that there are documents to check."

Situ Changshi sneered. "You are right, but this document should not be sent to Situ's Mansion, but to Taiwei's Mansion. The people who invaded Sangtian are all garrison troops. This matter is under the control of Taiwei's Mansion, and Situ Mansion has no right to intervene."

As soon as the emperor on the throne looked up, he happened to see Yang Biao and Zhou Zhong who were walking up the steps, so he smiled and said, "Just right, Mr. Yang is coming soon. Mr. Yang, please come in quickly, just in time to talk about your business."

Seeing Yang Biao and Zhou Zhong enter the hall, all the ministers in the hall stood up to salute, even the emperor stood up.

Yang Biao and his colleagues saluted one by one, came to their seats and sat down, and while arranging their clothes, said: "Is it about Jingzhao Sangtian?"

"Yes." Situ Changshi bowed and saluted. "I also ask Mr. Yang to give me justice in Situ Mansion."

Zhou Zhong is still Doctor Guanglu at present, walked to sit behind Guangluxun Deng Quan, heard the voice, looked up at Situ Changshi, and found that he was an acquaintance.

This man's surname is Du, his name is Ji, and his style name is Bohou. He has met him in Xiangyang.Unexpectedly, when he returned to Chang'an, he became Situ Changshi.

Speaking of which, this is a suitable candidate, no wonder Zhao Wen was able to leave Chang'an with peace of mind for so long.Zhou Zhong even suspected that Zhao Wen didn't want to come back, so it was better to leave the matter to Du Ji than him to handle it directly.

Du Ji is a native of Jingzhao, and he is a capable official, bold and careful in doing things.

Yang Biao turned around, took the document from the hand of the accompanying officials, and spread it out unhurriedly. "Du Changshi, don't worry. Although this matter is not entirely your responsibility, your investigation is not detailed enough. You'd better listen to me and complain again."

Yang Biao turned his head and bowed slightly to the emperor. "Your Majesty, after investigation by the Taiwei Mansion, although this matter is related to Xia Yu, the instructor of Huya, the person who invaded the mulberry field was not Xia Yu himself, but Xia Yu's in-laws. I have Xia Yu's written testimony here, Your Majesty, please learn from me."

A Lang official came over and took the document in front of Yang Biao.

Yang Biao turned to look at Chief Situ Shi Duji. "Du Changshi said it was done by the garrison, and it was beyond the Situ Mansion's ability to deal with it. Dare I ask, have you seen the relevant documents, or have you heard about it?"

Du Ji said solemnly: "I saw the title deed with my own eyes. It not only has Xia Yu's signature on it, but also Xia Yu's Huya instructor's seal. Can the signature be imitated, and the seal also be imitated? If so, it may be a serious matter. "

Before Du Ji finished speaking, the atmosphere in the courtroom became tense.

Copying the seal of Captain Huya is much more serious than occupying Sangtian.

Lieutenant Huya is in charge of the Jingzhao Garrison, a force that cannot be ignored outside the Northern and Southern Army.

After reading Xia Yu's official letter, the emperor turned around and handed it to Lang Zhong, asking him to show it to Du Ji.

"Is this the seal of Captain Huya that you saw?"

Du Ji watched carefully for a while. "I think it is, but in order to complete the strategy, it is better to compare it. Your Majesty Rongchen, please get the original copy of the land deed, and reply after comparing."

Liu Xie nodded. "The matter is related to Captain Xia Yu of Huya. The Taiwei Mansion issued a document asking him to come back and cooperate with the investigation."

Yang Biao bowed and said, "Your Majesty, Xia Yu is at Danhan Mountain, going back and forth..."

Liu Xie's voice was not loud, but it seemed that he could not refuse. "Even if he didn't know about this matter, it has something to do with his connivance with his in-laws. If he misses the opportunity to conquer Liaodong because of this, that is the punishment he deserves."

"Wei." Yang Biao didn't argue any more, and leaned slightly to receive the edict.

"Okay, is there anything else? It's related to the Taiwei's mansion, stay and continue to listen. It's okay, you can retreat first."

"Wei!" Most of the people stood up, saluted, and prepared to retreat.

The court hall was half empty, except for the fake Taiwei Yang Biao who had just arrived, only Guang Luxun Deng Quan and Wei Wei Ma Teng were still sitting in the hall, but Zhi Jinwu didn't see it.

"Take a break." Liu Xie waved his hand again.

"Wei." The rest of the people also responded, got up and moved their bodies in the corridor.

A group of maids came over, holding food tables with snacks and tea in their hands.The officials stepped forward one after another, each took a cup and a piece or two of snacks, and chatted softly while eating.

Zhou Zhong was dumbfounded.

This is not at all the same as the court meeting in his impression.How could such a solemn occasion be so loose?

"Duke Zhou, would you like some snacks?" A maid stopped in front of Zhou Zhong and asked softly. "This is the Kanto delicacy personally arranged by Her Royal Highness the Queen."

Zhou Zhong was distracted and didn't care about these things. He waved his hands casually, got up and walked towards the throne.

Sun Ce, who was sitting behind him, stared at the maid and said suddenly, "You are... Qiao..."

The maid smiled. "Exactly, I met Sun Lang." After finishing speaking, he bowed politely and brought the food table to Sun Ce.Sun Ce took a cup of tea and another snack, and nodded excitedly.

When the maid walked away, Zhou Yu asked in a low voice, "Do you know each other?"

"You know her too." Sun Ce said, "Do you still remember Qiao Rui? This is his eldest daughter."

Zhou Yu was taken aback for a moment, then turned to look at the maid. "It's her, I really didn't recognize it."

"I haven't seen her for a few years, she's even more beautiful, right?" Sun Ce laughed. "And the figure is better, not as thin as before, which makes people feel distressed..."

"It's broken." Zhou Yu said suddenly.

"Heartbeat?" Sun Ce just wanted to tease a few words, but found that Zhou Yu's expression was wrong.He followed Zhou Yu's gaze, only to realize that Zhou Zhong had walked up to the throne and was tugging on the sleeve of the emperor, his face flushed.

"Your Majesty, the old minister has something to say."

Chapter 714

Liu Xie turned his head, looked at Zhou Zhong whose face was flushed, and gently tugged at his sleeve.

"Duke Zhou, if you have something to say, don't talk about it. My new court dress is very thin, and it's the only one. If you tear it up, I won't change it."

Zhou Zhong, who was filled with righteous indignation, let go of his hands hastily after hearing this, and bowed to salute.

"Your disrespect, death penalty, death penalty."

Liu Xie glanced at his sleeves, and couldn't help asking: "When Duke Zhou entered, I felt that you were not in a good mood. Could it be that... you woke up too early and didn't have a good rest?"

"Minister..." Zhou Zhong calmed down and said earnestly: "Your Majesty takes pity on the minister, and I am deeply grateful. It's just that if a gentleman is not serious, he will not be powerful. Above the court, one should not be too loose..."

"Duke Zhou misunderstood." Liu Xie smiled. "The court is on the east side of the river, and it's just walking here."

Zhou Zhong was stunned and didn't react for a long time.

Strictly speaking, what the emperor said is correct, this place is indeed not a court, but just walking.

Whether to move the capital to Chang'an is still under discussion, and there is no conclusion.

"Even if it's... OK..." Zhou Zhong smacked his lips, not knowing what to say.

After all, he has also been to the Northwest, and has seen how loose the line is.

"Duke Zhou, everything is done in the first place, and there are many etiquettes that cannot be discussed for the time being, especially those related to the military." Liu Xie said, patting Zhou Zhong's arm. "The generals are not educated enough, and the etiquette of the court needs to be taught, so take your time."

Just as he was talking, a group of people came in from the outside, talking while walking, and some even greeted the ministers in the corridor.

General Han Sui of the Fujun came over quickly and saluted Liu Xieshen.

"Marquis of Jincheng, General of Fujun, I have seen Your Majesty."

"The general came so quickly." Liu Xie smiled, and at the same time signaled to the maid beside him to bring some snacks. "Have you eaten Chaoshi? Try it. You have been in Luoyang for so long, you should be familiar with the taste of Kanto?"

Han Sui rolled his sleeves with one hand and picked up a cup of tea with the other, but no snacks. "I'm in Luoyang, what I miss most is Liangzhou's yokan and skewers. Is this Kanto taste sweeter? It's okay to taste it occasionally, but it's a little greasy to eat every day."

Liu Xie laughed and blinked. "Today let you get your wish. Although there are no sheep from Jincheng, they are tributes from She Zeyan. If you want to eat yokan or skewers, it's up to you."

"The minister will not leave today, so he must eat this." Han Sui also laughed.

Zhou Zhong was speechless.

Where is this the court hall of Weiyang Palace, this is clearly the person walking next to Xiu Tuze.

Before Zhou Zhong could react, Lu Bu and several generals with obvious Xianbei characteristics came over, saluted Liu Xie, exchanged a few words of greeting, turned to see Zhou Zhong beside him, and hurriedly greeted Zhou Zhong again.

After chatting with Lu Bu for a few words, Zhou Zhong was greatly surprised.

The Lu Bu in front of him was completely different from the Lu Bu in his impression, with a calm demeanor and elegant conversation, quite a bit of Confucian style.

But what surprised Zhou Zhong even more were those Xianbei people.

They bowed awkwardly to Liu Xie, spoke blunt Chinese in their mouths, looked respectful but nervous, and could see dense beads of sweat on their foreheads.

"Marquis Wen, this is..."

"The newly attached Xianbei commander." Lu Bu winked and drew Zhou Zhong aside. "Duke Zhou still remember Fuluo Hanbu who was defeated by us?"

"know."

"Some of their remnants fled to the grasslands, regrouped, and wanted to attack my frontier. These few refused to take risks with them, so they contacted us and reported the news. The relationship is important, so I took them back."

Zhou Zhong was taken aback. "The Xianbei people have regained their vitality?"

Lu Bu shook his head. "How can it be so fast, it's just that a few remnants of the defeated generals gathered together and felt that they could do it again. If they don't come, it's fine. If they dare to come, let them see how powerful my Han family's iron cavalry is."

Zhou Zhong was dubious. "Since that's the case, why are you rushing back to court?"

"Returning to the imperial court, I have something else to ask for an edict." Lu Bu turned his head and looked around, then lowered his voice. "Cao Duhu wants to take this opportunity to carry out an operation in the depths of the grassland to wipe out the remnants of the enemy, and let the cavalry from the Kanto get acquainted with the grassland by the way."

Zhou Zhongxin understood. "Want luggage?"

Lu Bu smiled.

Zhou Zhong couldn't laugh.

Jizhou is still undecided, and the emperor still wants to conquer Liaodong. Now Cao Cao and Lu Bu are unwilling to be lonely and want to go deep into the grassland.

Sure enough, if a country is ruled by warriors, it must be militaristic.

-

As expected by Zhou Zhong, the discussions related to the military became intense from the very beginning.

Han Sui, the general of the Fu army, fought with Lu Bu, the governor of the wolf cavalry.

As soon as Lu Bu finished explaining Cao Cao's thoughts, Han Sui stood up to express his objection.

His reason is also very straightforward: right now there is no basis for fighting deep into the grassland.

Xiaowu's sweep of Mobei was based on the accumulation of the Seventy Kingdoms established by the Han Dynasty.Now that peace has just been restored, Shandong has not yet fully accepted the imperial edict. The prefectures and counties are obedient and violative, and it is difficult to move across the fields.

Instead of going deep into the grasslands and competing with a few remnants of the Xianbei, it is better to use troops in the Kanto region and impose military control on the states and counties that oppose Dutian.

If Dutian can be fully implemented, it will take less than 70 years, maybe only seven years, for the imperial court to have enough strength to move northward.

Han Sui spoke very excitedly, and Zhou Zhong was terrified when he heard it.

He knew that Han Sui was not satisfied with garrisoning Luoyang and not sending out, but wanted to make a real contribution to pacify Shandong.Yuan Shao withdrew, and he set his sights on the Shandong clan who opposed Dutian.

He could almost hear Han Sui grinding his teeth, like sharpening a knife.

Lü Bu was also very straightforward, and retorted Han Sui, saying that the situation in the Kanto region and beyond the Great Wall is different and should not be confused.You have been stationed in Luoyang for more than half a year, and you have spent so much money and food, what have you done?If we can use some of it to support the frontier, we will be able to wipe out those Xianbei remnants in less than three months and less than half a year.

When it came to the end, Lu Bu didn't want to finish it, and despite Han Sui's already very ugly face, he added another sentence.

If you attack Jizhou, then not only will I not fight with you, but as long as the emperor issues an edict, we will cooperate with you to fight.How many rogues who oppose Dutian are worthy of your mention here?Just treat it as an opponent in military training, and a single exercise will solve the problem.

When millions of Qingzhou Yellow Turbans entered Yanzhou, Cao Duhu only used a few thousand people to pacify them.If you are not sure, you might as well go to the martial arts lecture hall for a few days, or find a book on the art of war written by Cao Duhu.

Han Sui was stunned, staring at Lu Bu with wide eyes.

Zhou Zhong was also stunned.

Are Lu Bu and Cao Cao so close?They are sworn enemies.

At this time, Yang Biao broke the silence. "Your Majesty, I have a different opinion."

Liu Xie nodded. "Mr. Yang might as well speak up."

"Soldiers are weapons, and saints use them as a last resort. Your Majesty advocates openness and honesty, and speaks freely. I believe that what the General Fujun and the Governor of Wolf Riders say is what is in their hearts. In this case, I have to say that they are sharp weapons in hand." , The intention to kill is self-inflicted, forgetting His Majesty's good intentions to stabilize the frontier."

Chapter 715

As soon as Yang Biao spoke, Han Sui and Lu Bu immediately restrained themselves a lot and kept silent, but their brows and eyes were still stubborn. Obviously, they only showed respect to Yang Biao personally, and it did not mean that they agreed with Yang Biao's views.

Zhou Zhong looked carefully and understood Yang Biao's embarrassment.
