Three Kingdoms: The Yellow Turbans finally revolt

After the court was over, Liu Xie returned to the side hall in a depressed mood.

Chen Xi and Ma Rixun followed closely behind, and as soon as they sat down, Liu Xie said, "Teacher, why did Uncle Huang choose a man from a noble family to be the prime minister?"

Ma Rixun stroked his beard, pondered for a while, and replied, "Maybe the two have reached some kind of agreement. If there is no support from the Xun family, the King of Bohai would have had a hard time doing things in the early stage."

Chen Xi also said in a strange way: "Let the Xun family be the prime minister, I'm afraid it won't be another Yuan family!"

Ma Rixun didn't quite understand why the King of Bohai recommended Xun Yu instead of holding the power himself. Isn't he afraid of the backlash from his family?It is easy to form an alliance when fighting, but when it comes to dividing up the interests, it is often the time when the alliance falls apart.

"Any covenant will always be broken. The King of Bohai is young, and the family has always made progress. His Majesty is still young, and he will definitely see the time when they break and fight, just like Dong Zhuo and the Yuan family." Ma Rixun said , "Before that, I hope His Majesty will be more patient."

"Do I still want to hide my clumsiness?" Liu Xie asked bluntly,
Ma Rixun sighed, and said lightly: "The reason why we kept a low profile before was because the King of Bohai was not in Luoyang. Now that he is in Luoyang, His Majesty has no possibility of avoiding him. Why."

That is to say, you can continue to pretend that you should pretend, regardless of the details, but in the righteousness, you must do what you want, and you can no longer pretend to be stupid.

"Is the West Garden still under construction?" Liu Xie asked.

Ma Rixun gave Liu Xie a meaningful look, he was a child after all.

Now that the national treasury has been handed over, there is nothing to repair it.

Besides, cultivating at this time is not pretending to be stupid, but really stupid.

In the next few days, Liu Xie went to court as usual, but found that Liu Qing had never appeared, so he went to court on the second day in Luoyang, but he never appeared again.

Prime Minister Xun Yu was there every day, and he presided over the court very well. He played reports from all over the country and dealt with them very well. Liu Xie also had to secretly praise him. .

And Liu Qing was in the palace, wearing a loose ice silk brocade dress, its style could be called the pajamas of his previous life. He was curled up lazily on the couch, while the maid beside him was evenly fanning the wind.

Liu Qing stared ahead, watching Diao Chan dance gracefully, and the rest of the dancers, under Diao Chan's training, also complemented each other and cooperated very well.

There is a lingering sound in the ears, the piano is clear and clear, Luoyang's musicians are indeed extraordinary, Liu Qing opened his mouth, and there was a peeled grape, which was sent into the mouth by a soft catkin.

It was Qiao Wan who was waiting beside her. Liu Qing had many concubines, but Qiao Wan was the one who cared the most. It was no wonder that the others were born either rich or noble.

Of course, the Qiao family is also considered rich.

A burst of footsteps broke into Liu Qing's ears, disturbing the vocal music, and then Dian Wei's figure appeared in the hall, and walked straight to Liu Qing's side along the edge.

"My lord, good news!"

"But Han Sui caught him?"

Liangzhou is the only one that is still fighting now. As for those trivial matters in Yangzhou, Dian Wei usually does not let Dianwei report in person.

"Your Majesty knows things like a god!" Dian Wei submitted the document, "Han Sui was defeated in Huangzhong and has been captured by Ma Teng. He is currently being escorted to Luoyang."

"Why is it so troublesome, what's the use of keeping such an obsessed person?"

Liu Qing felt that the situation in Liangzhou was complicated, and the Qiang people were too violent and changeable. If we were to appease them, I am afraid that Liangzhou would be the same as before, with a small rebellion in March and a big rebellion every year.

Therefore, Liu Qing's attitude towards Liangzhou is advocating high pressure. First, he will forcibly conquer Liangzhou with unrivaled soldiers, and then gradually implement new policies to introduce the production relations of the Central Plains and bind them to the land. After all, the relationship between fields and pastures The truth is, it can be interlinked.

In the land of Liangzhou, there is no compromise, because this is the key to reopening the Silk Road in the future.

The tossing has done a great job this time, and Liu Qing has to give it a good reward.

"Here's an order to make Ma Teng the prefect of Jincheng, order him to wipe out the remnants of the rebels, and tell him that the day Liangzhou is pacified will be the time when he will be named governor!"

"Here!" Dian Wei went down.

Liu Qing looked at Diao Chan who had stopped, and said with a smile: "My concubine is free to play music and dance!"

Vocals and music all play, Yingying Yanyan.
-
In a blink of an eye, the time came to the hottest August, and as news spread to Luoyang, the disaster situation became more severe.

In Wuyin County, Nanyang, the river has dried up. Not only have the crops been sunburned, but even people's daily water has become difficult. Similar situations are no longer rare.

And the sun seems to be so vicious that even Liu Qing, who lives a good life, can't bear it, let alone the common people with their faces turned to the loess and their backs to the sky.

On the one hand, Liu Qing ordered the transportation of grain to Nanyang, on the other hand, he also began to reduce expenditure, and asked all officials to learn from it, and called on all officials to donate grain together to overcome the difficulties.

Moreover, once he donated [-] shi, once he set an example, all the officials in the court could not save face, so they could only donate accordingly, and a strange atmosphere quickly formed.

Be proud to donate more, and be ashamed to donate less!
The number of donated stones is also vaguely linked to the grade, and I don’t know who advertised it. Prime Minister Xun Yu donated seven thousand stones, and Tian Feng, Yang Biao and Wang Yun also donated five thousand stones. Three thousand stones, one by one, as if whoever doesn't donate enough will be indecent and humiliate the lintel.

It is Xun You who is in charge of donating food.

The food donation proposed by Liu Qing was operated by Xun You in such a way that it somewhat meant being donated.

Luoyang City was full of turmoil. First, the officials and later some wealthy businessmen also began to donate food in a high-profile manner to gain some fame. Finally, some ordinary people also began to donate their surplus food.

The more noisy Luoyang City was, the worse Liu Xie's mood became. Coupled with the scorching hot weather, it was an unspeakable torture.

"Everyone in the city is good, but I didn't do anything!" Liu Xie said angrily.

Chen Xidao: "Your Majesty has donated all the treasury, how can you say nothing."

"Hmph, is the national treasury donated? Why do I feel that all the things in the national treasury have been moved into the Bohai Prince's Mansion. Maybe the [-] shi of grain he donated is the treasury's income!"

Chen Xi heard Liu Xie's tone, His Majesty really raised his voice, but, so what?The arm can't twist the thigh, so for the current plan, I can only listen to Ma Taichang's words and drag it.

As for the matter of moving, Liu Qing deliberately leaked it to Liu Xie to stimulate him.

"Don't be angry, Your Majesty, it's time to eat."

As he said that, with a wave of his hand, the two little yellow men immediately served several plates of food and placed them on the table.

In the past, when the meal was served, the maids of the Yellow Gate would all file in and file out, but today there were only two people, which also aroused Liu Xie's idea.

Looking at the few dishes and some yellow steamed buns on the table, Liu Xiezhi frowned, his eyes became cold, and he glanced at Chen Xi.

Chen Xi hurriedly fell to his knees, bowed to the ground and said: "Your Majesty, please forgive me. This... this was not done by a servant, it was... the King of Bohai Sea. He ordered that the drought is severe and all meals should be kept simple."

"He said that if the treasury is given to him, he will also be responsible for the royal family's expenses!" Liu Xiesheng said.

"The slaves have not been notified in advance, and the person who arranges the meals now is also arranged by the King of Bohai."

"That is to say, this king can only eat this in the future?" Liu Xie pointed at the two yellow steamed buns, like a teenager who has reached the stage of rebellion, and cursed: "Is I still the emperor of the Han Dynasty?"

With a roar, Liu Xie lifted his long sleeves, and the steamed buns flew out immediately, and several dishes were scattered all over the ground.

"Your Majesty, calm down, Your Majesty, calm down!" Chen Xi didn't know how to comfort him, so he could only kneel down and beg for orders. Almost all the Huangmen and maids in the palace knelt down and prostrated themselves on the ground.

Liu Xie is the emperor after all.

When the emperor was angry, he would have blood splashed ten steps.

"Why is Your Majesty so angry?" A soft but joking voice suddenly remembered that Liu Qing took Dian Wei into the side hall and looked at Liu Xie who was standing in front of the desk, trembling with anger.

Liu Qing took a few steps forward, looked at the yellow steamed buns in front of him, bent down to pick them up, one in each hand.

After looking at it, he sighed: "Your Majesty, you know how many big men have never tasted this steamed bun made of high-quality wheat flour until their death."

Seeing King Bohai picking up the steamed buns himself, Chen Xi quickly crawled over on his knees and picked up all the scattered steamed buns on the plate.

Liu Qing looked at the steamed bun in his hand, there was a little dust on the edge, so he stretched out his hand to pick it off, and took off the big dust. Under Liu Xie's surprised eyes, he actually took a bite out of the dirty steamed bun and chewed it with a smile.

"Your Majesty, Nanyang is known as the hometown of emperors, but there is fire in July. In today's Nanyang, many counties and townships, the crops have died in pieces. Not to mention these steamed buns, some people may not even be able to drink a drop of water."

As Liu Qing said, he took another bite and ate generously. The steamed bun was extremely soft, and there was a smell of wheat in it. When Liu Qing was fighting with the army, he had eaten even worse dry food. Than, it is indeed delicious.

After eating one, Liu Qing started to pick off the dust on the other, but it was definitely not clean, only the dirt visible to the naked eye could be removed.

"I have learned that a large number of refugees have escaped from Nanyang and will arrive in Yingchuan in a few days. If there is not enough food in Yingchuan, they may come to Luoyang again." Liu Qing said quickly.

Hearing that the refugees were coming to Luoyang, Liu Xie's eyes trembled instinctively. He wanted to say something, but couldn't speak, so he could only listen quietly.

"A steamed bun, put in Nanyang, can save a life!"

Liu Qing took the half-eaten steamed bun and stared at Liu Xie, and Liu Xie also stared at him, the two just stared like this.

The air was suddenly quiet, except for Liu Qing's occasional chewing sound.

"Your Majesty, the steamed buns are dirty, let the servants go and change some for you!" Chen Xi said trembling slightly.

"Dirty?" Liu Qing looked at Chen Xi indifferently, his back was soaked in fright.

Liu Qing stuffed the remaining half of the steamed bun into his mouth, grabbed the plate of steamed buns that Chen Xi had picked up, and handed it to Dian Wei behind him.

"Do you think this steamed bun is dirty?" Liu Qing asked.

Dian Wei didn't say a word, he didn't even clean up the ashes on the steamed buns, he stuffed them into his mouth, ate one in a few mouthfuls, picked up the second one immediately, and started eating.

Under the watchful eyes of Liu Qing and Liu Xie, Dian Wei ate three of them in one go.

"Yummy! Hiccup..."

Liu Qing looked at Chen Xi again, and asked coldly, "Do you still think it's dirty?"

Chen Xi didn't dare to look at each other. He prostrated himself on the ground, knocking the door on the ground, and remained motionless.

Liu Xie looked at Liu Qing in a daze. What Liu Qing did today, Liu Xie actually saw the shadow of an elder in him.

Precepts and deeds.

After a long time, Liu Xie closed his eyes and sighed.

"Several years of wars and successive years of natural disasters, your Majesty, as the Son of Heaven, knows what kind of life his people are living. Your Majesty should really go and see, go and see the people, and see what your people are living. what a life!"

After finishing speaking, Liu Qing casually cupped his hands and said: "I will leave."

Swinging his sleeves and leaving, Dian Wei hastily followed with a steamed bun.

Liu Xie was stunned in place, watching the back of King Bohai disappear at the door, suddenly the corner of his mouth twitched, and he murmured: "Is this world still mine?"

No matter the expression or talking to himself, they are full of sarcasm.

How could Liu Xie not know his current situation, the entire Luoyang, and even the states and counties in the world, have been completely controlled by the King of Bohai.

On the court, what Liu Xie said may not be accurate, and the king of Bohai doesn't even need to go to the court, as long as he speaks, the court will pass. This court seems to be the hall of the king of Bohai.

Civil servants and military generals, civil and military officials, have not refused to follow, but I only have one close servant and Ma Rixun who has a teacher-student relationship.

Liu Xie thought about what Liu Qing said when he left: go and see the people, see what kind of life your people live.

In Liu Xie's heart, there was actually such an impulse.

Leaving the palace, Dian Wei couldn't help asking curiously: "Master, how did you know that His Majesty will drop the steamed bun?"

Liu Qing didn't know how to answer this kind of question, so he dealt with it casually.

"This king knows it!"

Dian Wei looked at his lord with the eyes of a peerless master, and exclaimed: "My lord is really a god!"

In fact, Liu Qing didn't expect Liu Xie to lose his temper. It was purely a coincidence. Based on Liu Qing's understanding of Liu Xie, he should not be able to do such a thing. It can be seen that he was blown away by his recent series of operations. .

As for the situation in the palace, Liu Qing naturally knew it clearly, even if he wanted to know how many grains of salt were put in the imperial meal, it was not impossible.

Today is the first time to change the simple meal. Liu Qing wants to explain it in person, so as not to be labeled as "making things difficult for the emperor" and "abusing your majesty" in time, that would be bad.

Unexpectedly, he came across that scene, and Liu Qing immediately thought that if he used the topic to make some use of it, he might be able to impress Liu Xie even more.

However, the feeling of acting as an elder to reprimand the younger generation is really interesting. No wonder almost all the old people like to reprimand their own boys.

Liu Qing thought about it, at this time in the Bohai Palace, Liu Ji in Xun Cai's arms suddenly started crying for no reason...

"Ji'er is good, if Ji'er doesn't cry, Father will be back soon!"

Xun Cai was shaking lightly while comforting him. Who would have thought that Liu Ji would cry even harder.
