Three Kingdoms: The Yellow Turbans finally revolt

As soon as Xun You said that, Liu Qing immediately understood the truth.

In today's situation, anyone with a little discernment can see the clues. The strength of Bohai King has undoubtedly reached its peak, and it has never been reached by anyone before.

Whether it was the Shi Changshi who was favored by the late emperor, He Jin who had monopolized military power, Yuan Kai, the leader of the gentry, or Dong Zhuo who dominated the capital, they had never reached such a height.

Not only is the power in hand, but also it is famous in the world, and the people are loyal. This is something that none of them has ever done.

All kinds of signs make people think about it, and Ma Rixun must have thought of this, which is why Liu Xie made today's move, because no matter what, Liu Xie is still the emperor, and among the officials, there are many diehards who follow the old ways , Look for a rationale to bite on it.

Let Liu Xie appear at the banquet to show his weakness, so as to awaken the compassion of all officials and their vigilance towards Liu Qing.

Liu Qing looked at Tian Feng and asked: "Yuan Hao, this Liu Xie is not simple, is he really like you said, gradually becoming the king of darkness?"

Tian Feng thought about it, and after digesting Xun You's words, Liu Xie's performance was difficult to fake. After all, it is easy to fake a day, but it is very difficult to pretend for several months or even a year.

"Returning to my lord, it doesn't seem like a fake."

Liu Qing said lightly: "It's better to be true. If it's fake, at this age, there is such a city. This Liu Xie is not easy. Gongda, strengthen surveillance, what Ma Rixun said, who he met, This king must know!"

"Here!" Xun You took the order.

At this time, Jia Xu said: "My lord, whether Liu Xie is pretending or not, you can try it out."

"Oh? Wenhe has an idea? How to test it?"

Jia Xu took two steps forward, cupped his hands and said, "My lord, I can go to court tomorrow to report on the drought and epidemic situation in Nanyang, and beg His Majesty to help with the money and food from the state government. Ken, this move is abandoning the people, and the Lord can stand up."

Liu Qing glanced at Jia Xu, it's wonderful, you are the one who came up with the best idea!
"What do you guys think?" Liu Qing asked.

"Wen He's words are wonderful!" Xun Yu said.

"My lord, you can give it a try. This is not only a test of His Majesty, but also a test of all officials." Guo Jia said.

"Okay, let's do it like this!" Liu Qing made a decisive decision.

The next day.

Before Liu Qing's carriage arrived at the gate of the palace early, the officials of the upper court could be seen one after another. When they saw Liu Qing, the officials saluted one after another.

They were all greetings such as "See you, Your Majesty", "It's so early, Your Majesty", "Your Majesty looks good".

Others went to court by themselves, but Liu Qing led a group of people to court.

"My lord, it can be seen that the officials are somewhat afraid of you." Xun You laughed.

Liu Qing pouted, blame me?
"Maybe it's because the smell of blood on my body is too strong?" Liu Qing asked back.

"It's power, and what they fear is power!" Tian Feng said, "Even the weak emperor, they are also afraid, because the young emperor will eventually grow up, but the difference between monarch and minister will always exist."

"This kind of fear is like fearing Dong Zhuo and Yuan Shu, hehe!" Liu Qing snorted coldly, these bird people are really not as transparent as the people in this city.

The court meeting started, all the officials attended the meeting, Liu Qing, as a subordinate, still set an example——

He took off his boots.

As for the sword, think too much. Is it an ordinary sword? It is the sword of Gaozu who cut the white snake, and the sword that opened up the great man.

Liu Xie sat on the dragon chair, and all the officials saluted, but Liu Qing remained the same.

Liu Xie didn't go to see him either. In his eyes, Liu Qing didn't seem to exist. This point was also taught by Ma Taichang, the method of turning a blind eye.

"Do you have an original performance? Liu Xieshang's still childish words sounded.

I was speechless for a while, in fact, all the officials were very friendly, if anything happened, they would report it to Sikong Tianfeng, and then he would order Shangshutai to deal with it, the emperor wanted to have the right to know.

Now that the Prince of Bohai has come to the court, they don't want to be this early bird again.

"Jia Xu, Grand Administrator of Nanyang, here is the book!" Jia Xu's voice sounded.

Liu Xie naturally recognized Jia Xu, and when Dong Zhuo was there, he valued him very much. At that time, Jia Xu's status in Luoyang was almost one of the few, and no one dared to question it. , and Dong Zhuo's attitude towards doubters is unknown to everyone.

Jia Xu was later recommended to be the prefect of Nanyang. When he returned to Luoyang, he was silent. This time, he actually came to court.

"When will it start?"

"Many places in Nanyang County have suffered severe drought, and tens of thousands of people have been affected. Moreover, epidemics continue to occur in various places, and thousands of people have died. If the disaster is not controlled, I am afraid that millions of people in Nanyang will not be controlled. The governor The situation is urgent, and the matter is serious, so I came to Luoyang on my own before I reported it.”

When Liu Xie heard this, a nervous look flashed in his eyes, and Liu Qing caught him straight.

"Your Majesty, what Jia Xu said is basically true. In fact, not only Nanyang, but also the rivers and Huaihe Rivers are suffering severe drought. This is what I saw with my own eyes. I think we should act as soon as possible and arrange disaster relief immediately!"

Liu Xie was taken aback, and asked: "I wonder if the emperor's uncle has a way to help?"

Liu Qing spread his arms and said helplessly, "You should ask Sikong about this matter."

Liu Xie turned his attention to Sikong Tianfeng.

Sikong is in charge of the Shaofu, Zongzheng, Da Si Nong, this Da Si Nong is the person in charge of money and food in the imperial court.

Tian Feng stepped forward and replied: "Your Majesty, there is still money and food in the treasury, how about opening a storehouse for disaster relief, Cao Si Nong?"

Cao Song cooperated, "Your Majesty, under the conquest of the King of Bohai, the flames of war have gradually subsided and the chaos of war has gradually decreased. After several years of accumulation, the national treasury has indeed accumulated."

After finishing speaking, he looked back at Tian Feng, as if to say, is it okay to cooperate?

When Liu Xie heard that the two of them meant to open warehouses for disaster relief, he didn't know how to make a decision for a while, so he asked, "What do you think?"

Liu Xie asked Jiuqing for help, but to ask Jiuqing is basically to ask Ma Rixun for help.

Sure enough, Ma Rixun walked out and said: "The treasury's money and food are the foundation of the imperial court's operation. It is necessary to undertake this kind of construction, and it also needs to distribute salaries to supply the royal expenditure, and the amount is not considerable. If it is all used for disaster relief, then Your Majesty and What should I do, court?"

With Ma Rixun's words, voices of agreement and discussion immediately resounded among the officials.

They didn't say anything before because the interests were irrelevant, but now Ma Rixun called names and jumped up one by one.

Seeing this, Liu Qing said in a deep voice: "The treasury's money and food are the taxes paid by the people of the states. They should have been taken from the people and used for the people! If the court's expenses are reduced, and a few months' salary will be reduced, you won't be hungry." die."

Liu Qing changed the subject, "How about the people, if you don't make preparations for disaster relief, when the people are starved and starved to death, don't you all want to watch the uprising again?"

The four characters "raised up" were like a golden bell, throwing the ground with a loud sound, which made all the people speechless and looked at each other in blank dismay.

Liu Xie looked at Ma Rixun, and Ma Rixun looked at the ministers. Could it be that no one would stand up and say a few words for His Majesty?
"Your Majesty, how are you?" Liu Qing asked.

Liu Xie looked troubled, the teacher didn't teach me what to say, "This is a big matter, I'm still young, please ask the emperor to decide!"

Liu Qing gave Liu Xie a 666 in his heart. He found the correct answer, but——

late!

From Liu Xie's reaction, he already knew what Liu Xie existed, and Ma Rixun also jumped out.

Liu Qing smiled slightly, then restrained himself and said, "Your Majesty, I think this is feasible!"

"The saints have said that the king despises the people and the people are the foundation of the country. Even if you give everything you have, you must do your best. When I took over the Qingzhou yellow scarves, I went bankrupt and rescued it. I can guarantee that as long as I have it in my hands There is still a bowl of rice, and His Majesty will eat it first!"

Liu Xie's face was troubled, and Ma Rizun's expression suddenly changed. He had calculated thousands of times, but he didn't expect the King of Bohai to be so fast, and he launched a counterattack against him in the court hall. Now, the loopholes between him and His Majesty, All got caught.

Ma Rixun helplessly nodded his head heavily.

Liu Xie received the instructions and said: "Uncle Huang devoted all his energy to the great man. It is indeed the blessing of the country, the blessing of the great man, and my blessing! The King of Bohai proposed, can you agree?"

"I agree!" Tian Feng was the first to say.

"I agree!" Cui Yan was the second.

"I have no objection!" Cao Song said.

Officials expressed their opinions one after another, and finally everyone said in unison: "I have no objection!"

Well, all passed, open a warehouse for disaster relief.

Jia Xu's plan not only exposed Liu Xie and Ma Rizun, the teachers and students, but also allowed Liu Qing to completely control the financial power of Luoyang City.

The disaster in Nanyang is real, and the epidemic in Nanyang is also real, but Liu Qing has already done enough!
In the first round, Liu Qing won a complete victory.

After discussing one matter, all the officials did not make a statement. Liu Qing stepped forward a few steps, cupped his hands and said, "Your Majesty, I have something to report!"

"Uncle Huang can talk to you if you have anything to do."

Although Liu Xie's complexion is not very good, he still answers the questions fluently, and his psychological quality is excellent.

"I entered Luoyang this time and brought a treasure to His Majesty."

"Oh? What is it?"

"Not things, but people!"

"Human? Could it be that Uncle Huang wants to recommend talents to me?" Liu Xie thought of it quickly.

"That's right! Does Your Majesty know the secret of my minister's victorious victories over the past few years?"

"Naturally, the emperor's uncle is wise and martial, commanding troops skillfully, and being resourceful!" Liu Xie said flatly, not flattering at all.

It's just that Liu Qing was a little embarrassed to hear that, these advantages are only a little bit of wisdom and martial arts, and the others are all credit to the advisers and generals under his command.

"No! It is important for a victor to be strong and wise, but fundamentally, he needs sufficient money and food to ensure that he can have a strong army and gallop on the battlefield. It is precisely because most of the soldiers under the king's command are from Jizhou. How can you not be strong if you are full of food every day? In addition, when two armies are fighting, their morale is at the forefront, the soldiers have no worries, and the death in battle is generously compensated.

Liu Xie listened very carefully, and all the officials were also very quiet, silently listening to Liu Qing's war theory - logistics is the most important factor.

"Presumably you should also know who the king is talking about." Liu Qing didn't hold back, and said bluntly: "This person is Xun Yu, the governor of Jizhou, and Xun Wenruo. The tormented Jizhou is revitalized, and everyone is full!"

"Talk about it, everyone, whether you are a peerless genius or not, it is worthy of great use!"

"According to the emperor's uncle, what position should be given to Xun Yu, which is more appropriate?"

Liu Qing smiled: If you talk about Bingzheng, you should not be under the minister.

When Liu Qing glanced at him, the whole hall was in an uproar, and even Liu Xie looked at him in surprise.

"Your Majesty, I hope that the grand occasion of Jizhou can be reproduced in the world. If Xun Yu is in charge and opens up a peaceful and prosperous world for Your Majesty, it is still unknown!"

Liu Xie was stunned again, the Bohai King's move was a big one no matter what, but when he heard the word "peace and prosperity", Liu Xie looked at Ma Rixun.

To be honest, Liu Xie was moved.

Xun Yu's talent is as good as fake. He has been to Jizhou himself, seen the living conditions of the people in Jizhou, and seen the food in Jizhou thousands of miles in size, and has an extremely developed market, which is comparable to Luoyang. It is a sign of prosperity.

"The person in charge is one of the three princes. I don't know the emperor's uncle. What position do you want to recommend?"

Liu Qing cupped his hands, "There is nothing wrong with the three princes' handling of affairs, and the powers of the three princes are too scattered. I suggest that your majesty only need to restore the old system of prime ministers and use them as prime ministers!"

With Liu Qing's words, the whole hall was in an uproar again.

To restore the old system and worship as prime minister, the king of Bohai is really amazing.

Now, Liu Xie really didn't know what to say. In the education he received, there was no word for prime minister. Even in history, when he came into contact with the position of prime minister, he had already gone through ups and downs.

Ma Rixun said: "Your Majesty, is it too hard to restore the old system?"

"If there is no match for authority, how can the person in charge be in charge?" Liu Qing asked back.

Ma Rixun was stunned, and said: "Why don't you worship as Da Situ."

"Sit on an equal footing with Da Sikong Liu Yu?" Liu Qing asked again.

Although Liu Yu's Da Sikong was appointed by Dong Zhuo and his position was empty, his position was indeed higher than that of Sangong.

This time, Ma Ribin was completely speechless.

Although he was unwilling, he wisely chose to keep his mouth shut. As a Taichang, Ma Rixun knew very well that the struggle for power in the central government was fierce. Previously, no matter whether it was the Shichang Attendant or He Jin, they were all fighting for the position of power.

Originally, the King of Bohai himself, as the emperor's uncle, was the regent, and he was in charge of the government, and he was in charge of the world's soldiers, horses and military affairs, but he was a general after all. , but there is still one or two points of space left for Liu Xie.

But as long as the prime minister is released and the government is established, it will undoubtedly be a major weakening of the imperial power.

The struggles between imperial power and prime minister's power in history can be described by Ma Rixun like a few treasures, but what can he do?

It's hard to do it alone, today's court meeting, he has suffered a crushing defeat.

As for some other officials, they are even more reluctant to speak.

Until Liu Xie ordered the promulgation of the edict, announcing the restoration of the old system of prime ministers, and worshiped Xun Yu, the governor of Jizhou, as the new prime minister, and announced it to the world.

At the end of the court, all the officials went out, and in the middle of the palace gate was the chariot to pick up Liu Qing.

"Wen Ruo, get in the car!"

Under the envious eyes of all the officials, Xun Yu boarded the King of Bohai.

"The King of Bohai has given power to the court, and today's court meeting shows that His Majesty is very afraid of him!" A bold official commented.

Originally thought that commenting on King Bohai would get approval from others, but when this person saw it, his colleagues were far away.
