Han Dao world

Yang Biao was disdainful, but patiently explained the story of Qin Zhao meeting in Mianchi. "Nowadays the situation is dangerous, Your Majesty is willing to risk himself for the safety of the world. If someone is not talented, I would like to follow Lin Xiangru's story and go with Your Majesty. May the general be honest and lead a heavy army to make the situation. Even if Duan Yan has the heart of disobedience, You must also be afraid of the general's bravery and dare not take risks."

Seeing that Yang Biao compared himself to the famous general Lian Po, and entrusted him with the important task of the court's safety, Yang Feng was so happy that he almost didn't know his surname, so he agreed.

-

After the meeting was over, Liu Xie took a rest in the tent prepared by Yang Feng, and was going to Duan Yan's camp.

He just sat down, and before he could catch his breath, Yang Biao followed in.

"Mr. Yang has worked hard." Liu Xie smiled helplessly, pointing to the opposite bed. "Sit down and talk."

"Your Majesty has worked harder." Yang Biao cupped his hands. "Your Majesty, before going to the appointment, I have two things to ask for your Majesty's will."

"Please speak, Mr. Yang."

"First, does Your Majesty really want Yang Feng to kill the general before the battle?"

Liu Xie shook his head and nodded again.

Yang Biao looked puzzled.

Liu Xie breathed a sigh of relief and said softly: "I don't want Yang Feng to beheaded before the battle. He may not have the courage and strength. The reason why I say this is that I don't want him to fight in vain."

Yang Biao nodded slightly, staring at Liu Xie with eyes that see through the world. "But... Your Majesty has such a plan?"

Liu Xie raised his eyelids slightly, glanced at Yang Biao, and raised the corners of his mouth slightly. "I do have this plan, but I will not carry it out lightly. Be prepared, and if this opportunity arises, I will not let it go easily. Yang Gong, I want to be the emperor immediately. Although I don't have that ability yet, I will To have that courage, to be physically and mentally prepared."

Liu Xie patted his knee and said with a smile, "Do you think so, Mr. Yang?"

Yang Biao frowned and fell silent.After a while, he said again: "Your Majesty has lofty aspirations, and I naturally support you. I only hope that your Majesty's words and deeds will be consistent, make more preparations, and not speak war lightly."

"Don't worry, Duke Yang." Liu Xie said, "What is the second thing that Duke Yang wants to say?"

"The minister and His Majesty have an appointment, and there are affairs in the imperial camp. Does Your Majesty have any arrangements?"

Liu Xie was puzzled. "Duke Yang means..."

Yang Biao salutes again. "Your Majesty, Your Majesty will not give up. I entrust you with my heart. I am very grateful. Your Majesty is determined to rejuvenate, and I am willing to go through fire and water for Your Majesty. I will die. It's just that I am a Confucian student and is not familiar with military affairs. Now I will go to the appointment with Your Majesty and have no time to intervene in the camp. In case Li Jue and Guo Si arrive and there is no one in charge of the camp, what should we do?"

Liu Xie stared at Yang Biao twice, and vaguely understood what he meant.

"What suggestion does Mr. Yang have?"

"Your Majesty, please resign from the position of Taiwei, and may Your Majesty choose a wise man."

"for example?"

Yang Biao took a breath and let it out slowly. "I believe that the guard Sun Rui is loyal and resourceful, he is familiar with the military, and he is talented. If your majesty can believe in it and use it, he will be able to repel Li Jue and Guo Si for your majesty, and relieve the urgent need."

Liu Xie stared at Yang Biao closely. "Is this the suggestion of Duke Yang alone?"

Although Yang Biao had been mentally prepared, he still felt uneasy at Liu Xie's glance.

Suddenly, he understood Yang Xiu's mood a little bit.

Although the Son of Heaven is young, his eyes are not at all like a 15-year-old boy. They are more like an old man who is used to seeing all kinds of things in the world. They are full of vicissitudes and wisdom, and they can see through the deepest distracting thoughts in his heart at a glance.

Facing such a pair of eyes, even he couldn't take it easy.

Yang Biao swallowed subconsciously. "It's my own opinion, may Your Majesty think twice."

"If I refuse, will Mr. Yang insist?"

Fine beads of sweat appeared on Yang Biao's wrinkled forehead.

The words are on the lips, but they can't say anything.

He has been preparing for this moment for a long time, whether the emperor agrees or not, he has a response.

The only thing he didn't expect was that the emperor's eyes would be so sharp.

Liu Xie silently withdrew his eyes, looked at his nose with his eyes, his mouth with his nose, and his heart with his mouth, as if in meditation.

He was full of helplessness.

It has always been the belief of the scholar-bureaucrats and bureaucrats in the Han Dynasty—especially the Eastern Han Dynasty—to break the practice of the three princes sitting and discussing Taoism and regaining control of real power.

In the Eastern Han Dynasty, scholar-bureaucrats followed one after another, ministers strived to be in the court, and officials argued in the alleys. Behind the two disasters of party imprisonment, it was not so much a struggle with relatives and eunuchs, but a struggle for power with the emperor.

They won in the end, but the big man died too.

It has to be said that Jiang is old and hot, and Yang Biao has mastered the timing of his shots extremely well.

The eunuchs had been wiped out by Yuan Shao, Wang Yun and others long ago, and their relatives were weak, so Fu Wan was no threat at all, and the emperor was young, so at this moment, there was no other choice but to rely on the Sangong and Jiuqing.

Sun Rui was transferred to Taiwei, and Sun Rui took full command of the battle, resulting in the fact that the Taiwei was in charge of the army. He made military exploits and proved to the world that the three princes were right in power. Next, Sikong took control of the people and suppressed the inner court, which was a matter of course.

Liu Xie even felt that it was not impossible to go down this road and restore the prime minister system, where the prime minister would be in charge of the government affairs of the foreign court and the emperor would rule.

This is the ideal system of the Confucian kingly way, and it is the supreme belief that these Confucian-born ministers and ministers strive for.

But he is equally clear that that is not the way of kingship, but the way of death.

The way of subjugation.

Chapter 31 Punishing the Heart

The atmosphere in the tent was oppressive and suffocating.

The fine sweat on Yang Biao's forehead gradually gathered into streams, wet his temples and his collar.

His crown became heavier and heavier, his neck became more and more sore, and his head drooped involuntarily.

The Son of Heaven was getting higher and bigger in his field of vision, and the silent pressure was getting heavier and heavier, making it unbearable for him.

He realized for the first time that the young emperor's intelligence was somewhat similar to that of the late emperor, but his perseverance was even worse.

He remonstrated in front of the late emperor many times, and the late emperor was often furious at first, and even cursed, but in the end he would accept it helplessly.

The Son of Heaven is just silent, like a mountain.

Yang Biao gritted his teeth and let the sweat drip down his cheeks, the ground under his feet was wet.

The tent was extremely quiet, and even the sound of sweat dripping on the ground could be clearly heard.

Liu Xie raised his hand and pointed lightly. "Mr. Yang, it's okay to sit still."

Yang Biao looked at the cramped bed, hesitated for a while, and bowed to accept the order. "Thank you, Your Majesty, for the seat." Carefully lifted the hem of the clothes, sat down on the bed, and flattened the hem of the clothes to cover the legs, trying to avoid indecentness as much as possible.

It is really inappropriate for the monarch and his ministers to sit on the bed opposite each other.But as the emperor said, it is really impossible to pay attention to the right now.

And the emperor's phrase "obedience to power in a matter of urgency" probably means that he will accept this suggestion, but it is only in a matter of urgency, and it cannot form a practice.

This was no surprise to him.

With the intelligence of the Son of Heaven, it is impossible not to see the deep meaning behind this suggestion, let alone agree easily.

And he didn't expect the emperor to agree easily.

Taking the first step is a good start.

Liu Xie breathed a sigh of relief and said slowly: "Soldiers are the place of death and life, and the way of survival, especially for my big man. Yang Gong recommended Weiwei, put Weiwei in a place where he could not retreat, and even more The life and death of a big man depends on Wei Wei. Yang Gong, don't you really need to discuss with Wei Wei?"

Although he didn't like this situation very much, he also knew that the situation was out of control, Yang Biao had sufficient reasons, and he had to agree if he didn't agree.All he can do is to minimize the impact, curb the ambitions of these old ministers, and leave himself a chance to fight back.

This is politics, intrigues and alliances.

The silence before and the pressure on Yang Biao was to pave the way for the voluntary concession at this moment.

Even if he has to agree, let Yang Biao realize his attitude, but he will never do it again.

Yang Biao smiled wryly.

Of course he discussed it with Shi Sunrui, but he couldn't tell the emperor the truth, otherwise he would be suspected of forming a party and more likely to arouse the emperor's suspicion.

Yang Biao cupped his hands and said: "Your Majesty, I'm a dull person. I think that ministers, ministers, including the three generals, can never use troops better than guards. Although your majesty is talented and aspiring to martial arts, it's not yet ripe. And your majesty is the leader of the world. Hope, it is not suitable to be in a dangerous place. Wei Wei is devoted to the country, loyal and resourceful, although he knows that the responsibility is heavy, he will not avoid it because of interests."

Liu Xie raised his eyelids slightly, and looked at Yang Biao with a half-smile.

Everyone is a smart person, and each made a step forward, and the scene was very thoughtful.

This is the best result he can achieve.

"Since that's the case, I will hand in an edict, ordering the Wei Wei to act as the Taiwei and take charge of the military during the time when I and the Taiwei go to the appointment. If you can make meritorious service, the false will be true, and then I will choose another important task for Yang Gong. As for At this moment, please ask Yang Gong to be wronged for a few days, and bear the false name of the Taiwei."

The corners of Yang Biao's eyes trembled, and he bowed to salute. "only."

Liu Xie then called Yang Xiu and ordered him to prepare pen and ink.

Although Yang Xiu was outside the tent, he could hear clearly and knew that the relationship between his father and the emperor seemed calm, but in reality the confrontation was intense.

The king's heart is like the sea, and Yang Biao's move is like forcing the palace, like planting a thorn in the heart of the emperor.If it is not handled properly, it is likely to leave hidden dangers.

The emperor agreed that the guard Sun Rui would take charge of the military affairs, but he refused to accept Yang Biao's resignation.If Shi Sun Rui cannot complete the task, Yang Biao, as a Taiwei, cannot escape responsibility.

The emperor said that the Taiwei was a "vain name", and it was even more a theory of condemnation, pointing directly at Yang Biao's intentions in this move.

Although he is young, he knows everything.

Taking advantage of Yang Xiu's free time to prepare pen and ink, Liu coordinates his emotions, organizes his words, then raises his pen and writes the edict with his own hands.

This matter could have been done by Yang Xiu, but Liu Xie chose to write in handwriting, first to show his respect for Shi Sun Rui, to avoid other unnecessary suspicions, and to affect Shi Sun Rui's performance of duties.The second is to protect Yang Biao.Any accidents in the future will be taken care of by him, and Yang Biao will not be involved.

This is of course buying people's hearts.

As a leader, you must have your own responsibility.

Even if he hated Yang Biao for forcing the palace, he still had to protect Yang Biao at this moment, otherwise he would lose his own demeanor.

Seeing the correct handwriting flowing out from Liu Xie's pen, Yang Biao had mixed feelings.

After Liu Xie finished writing the edict, he admired his calligraphy and felt that it was a bit like Zhong Yao, so he gave it to Yang Xiu to use the seal.Yang Xiu received the edict and was about to turn around and leave when Liu Xie stopped him again.

"Dezu, you might as well participate with the Taiwei in the question I asked you earlier."

Yang Xiu was slightly startled, and then bowed to accept the order.

Yang Biao didn't know why, but he didn't want to ask more questions.

-

Maybe it was intentional, maybe it was just a coincidence, Xu Huang was soon arranged by Song Guo to be on duty.

Compared with the other ministers who were born in the Baibo Army, Xu Huang is obviously more in line with the status of the emperor's servant.He has good facial features, steady and introverted, and his name is nice.Unlike Zhang Ba and Hei Yu, they are not serious people.

Liu Xie sat on his horse and waved to Xu Huang, motioning Xu Huang to come closer.

Xu Huang bowed to pay tribute, lightly kicked the horse's belly, and came to Liu Xie's side, half a horse behind.

"Are you from Hedong?"

"Your Majesty is holy." Xu Huang said, his voice was not too loud, just enough for Liu Xie to hear. "The minister is from Yang County, Hedong."

"What historical sites are there in Yang County, and who are the famous people?"

Xu Huang thought for a while. "It is said that Duke Huai of Jin died in Gaoliang City in Yang County."

Liu Xie was almost choked, and it took him a long time to recover. "What about this dynasty?"

Xu Huang simply shook his head. "No." Then he added. "There is Weihuo in Pingyang, but that was 300 years ago."

"Where is the river east?"

"No, at least not more than Wei Huo."

"Why is that?" Liu Xie asked.

Liu Xie has been considering the matter of Hedong since he decided on the strategy of Hedong, and found a strange problem.

As the birthplace of the Chinese nation, Hedong can be said to be an outstanding place, and the later generations are also shining stars. The Wei, Pei, and Liu clans have produced a large number of talents, but it happened between the two Hans, especially the Eastern Han Dynasty.

Xu Huang was silent for a moment. "Forgive me for being ignorant, I don't know the reason."

Liu Xie turned to look at Xu Huang. "I heard that you were a county official?"

"Yes."

"Then have you ever heard of Guan Yu?"

Xu Huang thought for a while. "There is such a person, a native of Xie County, who murdered and fled more than ten years ago, and his trace is unknown. His Majesty said...is it him?"

Chapter 32 Counterattack

Liu Xie was taken aback.Guan Yu has been on the run for more than ten years?
