Han Dynasty Achievements

Chapter 51 Lurking

"Your Majesty is wise and wise, and we will obey your orders!"

The court officials bowed together with a rumbling sound.

Liu Bian looked calm and felt extremely comfortable. He thought to himself: It really works to use moral principles to pressure people.

After looking at the people in the hall, Liu Bian felt that it was enough and stood up.

"Retreat."

Pan Yin stepped forward and shouted, then followed Liu Bian out of the side door.

"I will respectfully send you off to Your Majesty!"

The court officials bowed again, and many of them quietly looked up and watched Liu Bian's back, their expressions unable to hide their excitement.

Liu Bian left the Jiade Hall, glanced at Cao Cao from the corner of his eye, and said, "Meng De, how do you think I will deal with you?"

Cao Cao's expression became solemn, and he said, "Your Majesty is wise, I am not as good as you!"

Liu Bian waved his hand and said with a smile: "Whether he is wise or not is another matter, but now that all this is over, we can start to do something."

During this month, Liu Bian was almost entangled by the eunuch party and the relatives of the emperor's wife and could not move. Now he finally escaped.

The Han Dynasty is now in turmoil, and there are too many things for him to do!

Cao Cao was excited and hesitated to speak. He was also full of passion and wanted to do something big!

Liu Bian walked a few steps, and suddenly something occurred to him, and he asked, "Where is Jian Shuoren?"

Pan Yin hurriedly said, "Your Majesty, Attendant Jian is in Changle Palace."

Speaking of Changle Palace, Liu Bian became even more confused. He Jin had gotten into such a big trouble. Based on his understanding of Empress Dowager He, she should have been unable to sit still and ran to find him a long time ago. But this time, she didn't even show up.

Liu Bian thought to himself that he didn't want to meet Empress Dowager He yet, so he said, "Let's prepare for the coronation ceremony first."

"Yes." Pan Yin responded.

Liu Bian returned to Jingfu Hall and took out books on the military system and economic policies of Emperor Wu of Han, and studied and copied them carefully.

The court officials left the palace one after another, and there were constant heated discussions along the way.

Almost everyone now feels light-hearted, no longer depressed, anxious or panicky as before; everyone is smiling and talking and laughing.

Xun You was the Imperial Court Minister and was not in a hurry to leave the palace, so he and Zheng Tai took another path.

Zheng Tai was full of enthusiasm, looking at the azure blue sky and said: "Now that this matter is over, great things can be done!"

Xun You smiled and said nothing.

He was extremely shaken inside and has not calmed down yet.

Xun You never thought that the young emperor would have such a broad mind and courage to burn so much evidence.

Zheng Tai glanced at him and said, "I think that your Majesty is comparable to Emperor Wu, wise and intelligent, and definitely not comparable to the late emperor and Emperor Huan! Those who left will regret it if they know!"

Xun You smiled, looking hesitant.

Seeing that he didn't say anything, Zheng Tai couldn't help but ask, "Gongda, what are you doing?"

Xun You walked slowly and said, "I am thinking about how to show my ability in front of you, Lord."

Zheng Tai was stunned when he heard this, and then he started to think about it.

They already hold official positions, and not low ones, so it is not difficult for them to make reports to the new monarch or ask someone to recommend them. The difficulty lies in what kind of remarks can attract the new monarch's attention.

Zheng Tai was silent for a while. It was not that he had no talent, but he needed enough insights to be noticed by the new monarch and stand out among the ministers!

As the two were talking, Zhong Yao left the palace and, while no one was paying attention, came to Liu Yu and whispered, "General, what about the document?"

Liu Yu smiled and said, "What official document? What will happen if you throw it on the street now?"

Zhong Yao's nervous expression suddenly relaxed, and he smiled and said, "General, your majesty's move is beyond my expectation."

Liu Yu folded his hands, looked in the direction of the palace, and said with a comfortable smile: "When I think about it carefully, Your Majesty has been wise since the day he ascended the throne. It is we who have been confused by all the things and lost our minds."

Zhong Yao thought about the day he ascended the throne, nodded in agreement, and then saw Yuan Wei getting on the carriage not far away, and whispered: "Captain, you said before that everything was related to the Yuan family?"

Liu Yu's smile faded, his brows furrowed, and he said, "From Yuan Shao to Yuan Shu, from the palace coup to that night, which one did not involve the Yuan family? Most of the vacancies in the court were filled by students and former officials of the Yuan family."

Zhong Yao's expression tensed. When he thought about it carefully, it was really like that.

"What?" Zhong Yao began to worry. The Yuan family was not like He Jin, who had three dukes in four generations, and was highly respected throughout the country, with students and former officials all over the world!

Seeing that the others had left one after another, Liu Yu's face became more serious. He said, "Before in Jingfu Palace, His Majesty ordered Yuan Taifu to summon Dong Zhuo to the capital. Although I don't know the reason, His Majesty's tone was very firm at the time. There must be something going on!"

Zhong Yao was secretly shocked. He watched Yuan Wei's carriage disappear from his sight and said, "Then Dong Zhuo's ferocious heart has been revealed. Should the Yuan family still protect him?"

Dong Zhuo suffered many defeats in his campaigns against the Yellow Turban Army and the Xiliang Rebellion. He was dismissed from office several times by the court, but was reinstated several times with the recommendation of the Yuan family.

Liu Yu took a deep breath and said, "I didn't want to say more to you, but the political situation will be stable and there will be many complicated things. I will definitely have more contact with the Yuan family. You have to be alert."

Zhong Yao nodded solemnly and said, "I understand."

Liu Yu didn't say much and turned around and got on the carriage.

He Jin's matter has been settled, and many things that had been delayed need to be dealt with as soon as possible, especially the coronation ceremony, the details of which need to be further finalized.

Inside Yuan Wei's carriage.

Yuan Shu had heard the news and said with worry, "Uncle, what is this little emperor going to do?"

In his opinion, Liu Bian had leverage over so many people and could use it to make all officials submit to him. Burning them was too stupid!

Yuan Wei glanced at him, and a hint of coldness appeared on his thin face.

Yuan Shu was startled and said, "Uncle, I..."

Yuan Wei was very dissatisfied with Yuan Feng's legitimate son, who was not as good as his illegitimate son Yuan Shao.

Thinking that Yuan Shao was still in the prison, he couldn't help but feel a little irritated. He closed his eyes and asked, "Did Dong Zhuo reply?"

Yuan Shu was still very afraid of his uncle, so he took out a letter from his pocket, handed it over, and said, "He has replied. He said in the letter that the situation in Xiliang is urgent, and he is worried and can't leave without permission."

Yuan Wei had a blank expression on his face. He took it with his hand, looked at it, and said with a sharp flash in his eyes, "Find a reliable person and go to see Dong Zhuo in person to offer him the position of Grand Commandant."

Yuan Shu was stunned and asked, "Uncle, Grand Commandant?"

Although the title of Taiwei had become a nominal position, it was frequently replaced and also became a kind of stepping stone. For example, when being sent to a state governor or leading an army to war, one would often first transition to the position of Taiwei.

However, Dong Zhuo's qualifications and military achievements were not enough for the position of Grand Marshal.

Although Yuan Wei was disappointed with Yuan Shu, he still explained: "In troubled times, military power is particularly important. We must look at the overall situation and start with small things. I have already recruited three lieutenants of Xiyuan. The position of Taiwei must also be in my hands."

It was the first time that Yuan Shu knew that his uncle had such a far-reaching plan. He was surprised and delighted, and asked, "But, Your Majesty, can you agree? And what about Liu Yu?"

Yuan Wei looked calm and said calmly, "I have my own arrangements. You should prepare yourself, resign your posts as the Inspector of the Imperial Guards and the General of the Tiger Guards, and when Benchu ​​comes out, you can leave the capital with him."
