Three Kingdoms: The Yellow Turbans finally revolt

Chapter 525 Thrilling, Head-on Conflict

Luoyang, the center of imperial power, the core of the country, Liu Qing stands in the spacious courtyard of the palace, which is different from the exquisiteness of the palace in Yecheng.

Therefore, the exquisiteness of the mansion is also quite magnificent, the pillars are surrounded by trees, and the stone statue at the entrance is as tall as several people, which makes people look up.

At this time, the moving personnel are still busy, and the affairs of the several princesses are handled by each person.

The first thing Liu Qing thought about after returning to Luoyang was to meet the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty for a while.

At this time, Tian Feng, Cui Yan, Xun You, and Guo Jia Jiaxu were all in the palace, waiting for Liu Qing's first order after entering the city.

"Yuan Hao, this king wants to meet the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty for a while, you can arrange it."

Tian Feng glanced at Cui Yan, and the meaning in his eyes was self-evident: This work belongs to you.

At this time Jia Xu said: "My lord, if you want to entertain hundreds of officials, you can bring all the people in the city with you."

"Banquet for the whole city?"

Jia Xu nodded and said one word: "People's hearts."

Liu Qing suddenly understood that the banquets for all officials were not all for the purpose of winning over. For most of them, it might be more appropriate to say that warnings are more appropriate, but the common people don't take a look at it. In the eyes of the common people, banquets are usually associated with winning over. please come on.

The common people already love the King of Bohai very much, it would be really good to add this kind of win-win.

"Okay, let's act according to Wenhe's intention, and file a hundred cases in the market outside the palace, and invite the people of the city to attend the banquet." Liu Qing said.

When Cui Yan heard this, a trace of panic flashed in his eyes. He, who has always handled things well, also felt a great challenge.

It was past noon now, and the banquet usually took place in the evening, that is to say, he only had less than half a day to prepare a banquet for all the officials and set up another hundred seats for the common people to attend the banquet.

Tian Feng appointed several people to assist Cui Yan, and after a while, groups of soldiers came to the market outside Bohai Prince's Mansion carrying tables one by one, and placed them in the middle of the road, attracting many people to watch outside the gate of the mansion .

In front of the Bohai Palace, Xun You announced loudly: "The Bohai King's Order, Fancheng's promise, the emperor's order will continue, the society will be rectified, and the whole world will celebrate together. Especially in the Bohai Palace, all officials will be invited to a banquet, and at the same time, a hundred seats will be held outside the Palace!"

"All the subjects of the great Han Dynasty and the people of Luoyang can participate, and all expenses will be borne by the Bohai Palace!"

The onlookers outside the mansion were talking about it.

"Historically, important ministers have been promoted, generals have returned triumphantly, and all the officials have been entertained. When has anyone ever entertained us? This King of Bohai, as rumored, really cares about the people and loves them like a son!"

"Isn't it? It's such a big expense. This time alone, I'm afraid it's enough for us to eat for the rest of our lives!" said a plainly dressed commoner with a sack on his back.

A man who looked like a scholar on the side listened and responded to him with a smile: "I am ignorant, you know that the king confiscated a million yellow scarves from Qingzhou, and the food and clothing expenses in the first year were all paid by the king. There are hundreds of seats in this banquet. Bi, nine cows and one mole!"

The scholar proudly showed off the knowledge he had gained from his travels, but he heard another person sigh: "Millions of yellow scarves are not just our common people."

As soon as he finished speaking, someone blocked his mouth.

It's not a good thing to say this, even if you don't oppose the Yellow Turban now, you can't say it.

In the mansion, just as Liu Qing entered his study, he saw that Xun Yu was already there, sorting out the documents brought in by the servants himself.

"Wen Ruo has worked hard all the way, such small things, you can just order the servants to do it, like you, this king is really uneasy."

Xun Yu smiled, "It is the duty of the minister to share the worries of the lord. According to the habit of the lord, these important documents have been divided into four categories. These are important and urgent."

Xun Yu pointed to a pile of bamboo slips and silk books, and said, "The main reason is the drought in various places. It seems that this year's large-scale drought is inevitable."

"How is the situation in Jizhou?"

Xun Yu replied: "Jizhou has well-developed water conservancy, but it is still affected by the drought. I am afraid that production will decrease by about [-]%."

Even Jizhou has to cut production by [-]%, so other places will cut production by half, or even have no harvest?

Liu Qing suddenly felt that a bigger challenge than fighting in all directions had quietly come to Alexander.

"It seems that the disaster relief can already be prepared in advance." Liu Qing said lightly.

"My lord, Yuan Hao has already told me about His Majesty." Xun Yu said.

"How does Wen Ruo view this matter?"

Xun Yu paused, thinking for a few breaths.

"Born in trouble, died in peace. This son was born in troubled times and grew up in troubled times, but he has no sense of trouble. Yuan Hao's tests have proved that he is not the master of the great cause."

Liu Qing's eyes flickered, and he asked, "If this king takes his place, will people in the world think that this king is a conspiracy?"

Xun Yu didn't show any surprise, and replied calmly: "My lord, don't be eager for quick success, but take it slowly. Nowadays, all the people in the world support you, and you have Gaozu's Snake-Slaying Sword and the Jade Seal in your hands. You are lucky, but the courtiers It's like a grass on the wall, but the lord still needs to deal with it, and when the opposition from the court disappears, it will be a matter of course!"

Liu Qing frowned slightly, lost in thought, and said slowly: "The one who wins the hearts of the people since ancient times wins the world."

Xun Yu smiled, "My lord, a drought is not only a severe challenge, but also a god-given opportunity. My lord may rely on this to win the hearts of the people."

"The south of the Yangtze River is initially set, and there is no large-scale production. It seems that the drought in the Central Plains has to rely on Puyu's ten thousand hectares of fertile land to save it." Liu Qing said that there is no notification of the drought so far, and only the Fuyu vassal state.

"My lord wasted time and food, and went on an expedition to Fuyu. Yu didn't quite understand it. Looking at it now, my lord's actions are shocking. If it wasn't for my lord's presence in front of me, with flesh and blood, I would really think my lord is the reincarnation of a god!"

Liu Qing smiled and said nothing, the reincarnation is indeed a reincarnation, but it is not a god.
-
After the incident of welcoming the driver, Liu Xie returned directly to the West Garden. He was a majestic son of heaven, and went to greet Liu Qing in person. As a result, Liu Qing entered Luoyang through another gate with a group of people. This was a great shame to him. .

Originally, when the King of Bohai came to Luoyang, Liu Xie wanted to live in the palace, but under the atmosphere, Liu Xie went directly to the West Garden to show his dissatisfaction and protest with practical actions.

Taichang Ma Rixun and Zhongchang Attendant Chen Xi followed closely behind.

"Today's Bohai Palace must be very lively!" Liu Xie said leisurely as he walked in front.

"Naturally, a hundred banquets are held for the common people, and all the ministers are invited in the mansion. If you don't think it will be lively." Ma Rixun replied.

"The king of Bohai's accumulation is really deep. When he first came to Luoyang, he even invited the common people with such a handwriting. What is he trying to do by winning people's hearts so openly?"

"Your Majesty, the King of Bohai must have the heart of disobedience, and he has to guard against it!" Chen Xi, the permanent servant of the Central Committee, said immediately.

Ma Rixun raised his brows slightly, and looked sideways at Chen Xi. Zhongchang Attendant's face was really disgusting, and if he threatened him even a little bit, he would howl like a dog whose tail had been trampled on.

If the king of Bohai is really disobedient, Liu Xie may be the first unlucky one, but Chen Xi must be the most unlucky one. Liu Xie may lose his position and be crowned Wang An to enjoy his old age, but Chen Xi will definitely die.

It's a pity that no matter how Chen Xi bites Liu Qing, his reputation is still very good.

Liu Xie turned around suddenly, and said to Ma Rixun, "Ai Qing should also be invited, right?"

Ma Ricun cupped his hands and replied: "Your Majesty, there are indeed veterans."

Liu Xie glanced at Chen Xi, and Chen Xi immediately said: "Then please Ma is too common."

Ma Rixun didn't respond, and left with a salute.

At this time, the Bohai King's Mansion was already full of people, and now no one knew that the most powerful and powerful person in Luoyang City was not the one sitting at the highest place, but the Bohai King.

Uncle Wang is the regent, the champion and general, and now he is faintly the head of the clan. The clan of the Han family, the kings of all places, almost all follow his lead.

Moreover, Liu Qing's attitude towards His Majesty was also very playful. The princes and kings entered the capital, but they did not go to visit the emperor, and even the emperor greeted him personally, but he also neglected it.

The courtiers are all human beings. Liu Qing's actions naturally reminded them of some sensitive words.

Moreover, even the Son of Heaven is so negligent. As ministers, how could they dare to offend such powerful people? Who would dare not to attend this banquet.

Outside the city, people have long been standing shoulder to shoulder to grab seats, and a large number of court officials have also arrived one after another.

"Situ Wang Yun is here!"

"Taiwei Yang Biao is here!"

"Sikong Tianfeng is here!"

"Too often arrives soon!"

……

He is not a man of the Sangong and Jiuqing, and he is not worthy of the roll call.

Liu Qing stood just inside the gate of the mansion, and when he met acquaintances, he greeted them warmly, such as Sangong Jiuqing and others, or some generals.

"General Zhu, it's been a while!" Liu Qing greeted Zhu Jun with a smile, "Why didn't you see General Huangfu coming with you?"

Zhu Jun bowed and saluted, with a look of embarrassment on his face, and replied: "Yizhen has been ill in bed for a long time, and it has been a long time."

"There is such a thing, tomorrow the king will go to visit in person!"

As the guests arrived one by one, most civil and military officials sat in the spacious courtyard, and those with status had a place in the hall.

Liu Qing was in the first place, and said leisurely: "We have a banquet today, thank you for your honor, and drink water to think about the source. It is thanks to Your Majesty Long's grace that this king can entertain you here today. Let us respect Your Majesty for the first cup of wine!"

Liu Qing held up his glass of wine and said loudly: "If there is no Your Majesty, how can we be there? Everything we have is bestowed by His Majesty!"

All the officials looked at each other in blank dismay, and it was difficult to keep up with King Bohai's train of thought.

The ministers were puzzled: You respect His Majesty so much, why didn't you go to see him, why did you neglect His Majesty so much?

However, what Liu Qing did next made the officials even more dumbfounded.

The glass of wine that Liu Qing held high unexpectedly poured down slowly, and the sake turned into a milky crystal, flowing down vertically and splashing on the ground.

This is clearly it!

Hundreds of officials were collectively petrified, and even some stubborn ministers were so angry and bloody that they blasphemed the emperor so much that he wanted to go up and die with Liu Qing!
Seeing everyone's expressions, Liu Qing smiled and said: "Oh, I'm negligent, I should call the late emperor!"

When Baiguan heard this, he held back a lot of turbid air, and finally let out a long breath, and his heart was relaxed.

Unexpectedly, King Bohai made such a big joke when he came up.

If you talk about respecting the late emperor, it makes sense. After all, Liu Qing was employed by the late emperor Liu Hong. Before he died, he even restored the Bohai Kingdom. Liu Qing came to Luoyang to offer a toast to the late emperor. It couldn't be more appropriate.

Everyone was relieved just now, but a childish voice came from outside the hall, and everyone couldn't help raising their hearts to their throats.

"I heard that Uncle Huang wants to toast me, so I should come and drink this wine myself!"

It was Liu Xie who spoke.

"Your Majesty is here!" Chen Xi's libretto rang out.

"I see you, Your Majesty!"

The crowd turned and saluted Liu Xie, but the King of Bohai remained standing.

Liu Xie went straight forward, behaved gracefully, and walked up to Liu Qing, "Uncle Huang is busy with business and has no time to see me, so I will come to see Uncle Huang in person."

The sarcasm in Liu Xie's words is self-evident, and he is busy with affairs, referring to banqueting officials.

Liu Qing smiled slightly, stretched out his hand and said, "Please take your seat, Your Majesty."

I was still a little surprised that Liu Xie would come by himself. It seemed that in his bones, he was not cowardly, let alone stupid.

"Forget it, I didn't see the emperor's uncle at the gate of the city today. I miss him very much. I came here to see the emperor's uncle. I have nothing else to do. I'm afraid I'll disturb the elegance of civil servants and generals!" Liu Xie said, his gaze Scan the ministers.

All the officials lowered their heads, not daring to look at him. Liu Xie's words had a deep meaning, which attracted all the ministers, who dared not show their spirits. The memory of not long ago began to attack them, just like the last time, it was Dong Zhuo At the time of Luoyang.

"In that case, our uncle and nephew will have a drink."

Liu Qing stretched out his hand, the maid hurriedly scooped it up, and Liu Qing drank it all in one gulp.

Liu Xie also drank it down, but his expression was a bit strange, and he hadn't reached the age of drinking heavily.

"The emperor's uncle has made outstanding achievements in this trip, so I will wait until the court to reward him!"

Liu Qing didn't speak, but slightly cupped his hands and signaled Liu Xie: I know, you can go now.

Liu Xie glanced at Sangong Jiuqing again, flicked his long sleeves, turned his back and left, Chen Xi raised his head, and then left.

Looking at Chen Xi's slack look, did he not understand the situation? In this secret contest, who has the upper hand.

For a thrilling banquet, most of the officials were in fear. How could they be in the mood to eat and drink, but the people outside the mansion ate to their heart's content. All the dishes and wine were swept away. After the banquet was over, Liu Qing He ordered that the seats of hundreds of officials, which had hardly been moved, be moved outside together.

Saving food is a virtue!
After the banquet was over, King Bohai lost some of the hustle and bustle, and the servants and servants were still busy, with busy figures everywhere.

In the study, all the staff are in place.

Xun Yu, Guo Jia, Xi Zhicai, Tian Feng, Jia Xu, Xun You...

"What is Liu Xie's move today?" Liu Qing asked Tian Feng.

Tian Feng has been thinking about this problem, but he has not figured out why.

As far as he knew, Liu Xie had already been angered and went to the West Garden, and he didn't even plan to participate in tomorrow's morning court. With Liu Xie himself, he would definitely not come to the mansion from the West Garden.

Missing the name of the emperor's uncle is basically nonsense.

"My lord!" Xun You said.

"Please tell me, Gongda."

"When Dong Shijun was in charge of Luoyang, his majesty's teacher was Taichang Ma Rixun. With the information he possessed, the only one who could influence his majesty's will was Ma Rixun, except Zhongchang servant Chen Xi, and Chen Xi Hee, you have no brains."

"Gongda means that Ma Rizun is instigating His Majesty behind his back to confront this king head-on?"

Xun You nodded: "In this way, in the eyes of the officials, the lord bullies the young lord, just like Dong Zhuo and Yuan Shu!"
