Huang Yi laughed and said, "That's right, the envoy traveled thousands of miles, why didn't he inform you in advance?"

Wei Duan also recognized Huang Yi, so he didn't dare to neglect.Yuan Shu's son-in-law is not expensive, but he is a descendant of Jiangxia's Huang family, and his status is much higher than their father and son.

Wei Duan laughed awkwardly, avoided answering, but asked, "What are you... doing?"

"Art of War." Huang Yi looked at his hands, a little embarrassed. "I met an old friend in a foreign country, I was excited for a while, I didn't wash my hands, it was rude."

"You learn the art of war, but also know how to make mud?" Wei Kang looked a little disdainful.

Huang Yi could see clearly, but he didn't take it seriously.When he was in Hanyang, Yang Xiu took care of him not to associate too much with Wei Duan and his son.Wei Duan's celebrities are too accustomed to adapting to the current situation.

"The imperial tent of the Son of Heaven is across the lake, so that you can go there by boat, which is faster."

"It's come so far, it's not too late." Wei Duan said lightly.

Huang Yi smiled slightly, said goodbye without saying anything.

Wei Duan shook his head, stopped, asked someone to drive the car over, and got back into the car.

After half a circle around the lake, I finally arrived in front of the emperor's tent.It was getting late, and the sky was full of clouds and clouds. Wei Duan stood and watched for a while, and suddenly felt sad.

Can my evening scene be so gorgeous?

"Wei Xiufu?" An exclamation came from the side.

Wei Duan turned his head to look and was also very surprised.The person who came was Da Honglu Yang Biao, who acted on behalf of the Taiwei.Yang Biao was wearing a long gown, but the hem was tucked in at the waist, and the sleeves were rolled up high, revealing two arms. He didn't look like a minister of four generations and three lords, but like a handyman and handyman.

"Brother Wen, you are..."

Yang Biao looked down at himself, and couldn't help laughing. While putting down his sleeves and clothes, he said, "I'm used to it, it's so convenient. I have to do things cheaply when dealing with barbarians. Are you...doing something?"

Seeing acquaintances, Wei Duan didn't hide it. "Come and plead guilty to the emperor."

"The emperor went to digest food with the nobleman, and he will be back in a while. You should sit in my tent for a while and drink some water."

Wei Duan couldn't ask for it, so he quickly bowed his hands and thanked him.

Chapter 457 Rarely Confused

Wei Duan and his son followed Yang Biao into the tent. Seeing that the tent was simple and there was no room for them except the desk, they couldn't help looking at each other.

Yang Biao also reacted, and laughed. "Sit outside, sit outside, it's spacious outside."

Wei Duan and his son retreated from the tent, and Yang Biao followed. He called his attendants and started a fire in front of the tent.Knowing that Wei Duan and his son hadn't eaten yet, Yang Biao ordered someone to slaughter the sheep, and asked Wei Duan and his son to taste the real good mutton.

Wei Duan is very grateful.He and Yang Xiu ruled in the same city, but Yang Xiu was not so enthusiastic.

Yang Biao set up the pot, boiled water and made tea, skillfully. "Xiufu, you said just now that you are pleading guilty, what crime?"

Wei Duan sighed and explained his reason for coming.Although Yang Biao was only acting as a lieutenant, the emperor's trust in their father and son remained undiminished.If Yang Biao could say a few words for him, he might be able to pass through the danger.

After Yang Biao listened quietly, he glanced at Wei Duan, his face was not very good-looking.

"Xiufu, it's really not right for you to delay coming to see you."

"Yes, yes." Wei Duan replied awkwardly.

"How old is your son?"

"twenty."

"Only twenty this year?"

Sweat dripped from Wei Duan's forehead, and he dared not answer.

"Who is the prefect of Jingzhao? I want to impeach him." Yang Biao said, his voice was not loud, but he was very firm.

Wei Duan lowered his head and said nothing.He never expected that asking Yang Biao for help would be like this. If he had known this, he would have avoided Yang Biao and left.

Wei Kang was the county master at the age of 15.To the outside world, this is of course Wei Kang's youthful intelligence.But in the eyes of veteran ministers like Yang Biao, this trick can't be hidden from anyone. It was Jingzhao prefect who wanted to please Liangzhou Mu Weiduan, so he let a 15-year-old boy be the chief official of the prefect's mansion.

"If you don't tell me, I can find out." Yang Biao reminded.

Wei Duan had no choice but to say: "Hedong Zhangshi."

Yang Biao's attitude is firm, he can't avoid it, so it's better to take the initiative to confess, at least he has a good attitude.

Yang Biao let out a long sigh.He knew Zhang Shi and had a good impression, but he didn't expect him to be such a follower.Thinking about it carefully, he was also in Chang'an at that time, and served as Situ for a while, but he didn't hear any rumors.

"You should be punished." Yang Biao said, "Eat more and have a good rest."

"Here." Wei Duan held back and didn't cry out.

Wei Kang was dumbfounded, his face turned pale.

-

When Liu Xie came back from a walk with Xun Wenqian, Wei Jiao, who was on duty, brought over a memorial.Liu Xie took it and saw that it was Yang Biao who impeached Zhang Shi, the prefect of Jingzhao, so he couldn't help being curious.

"Do you know Zhang Shi?"

"I know you." Wei Ji said, "But we don't have any contacts."

Liu Xie didn't take it seriously either.Yang Biao is known for his steady and ruthless actions. Since he wants to impeach Zhang Shi, it means that the evidence is solid and Zhang Shi's official career has come to an end.At this time, even if Wei Ji had friendship with Zhang Shi, he would not admit it.

Furthermore, they are quite different in age, even if they have friendship, it is Wei Gu's friendship.

After Liu Xie read the memorial, he couldn't help but raise his eyebrows slightly, burning with anger.

Zhang Shi, the dog day, is just messing around. A 15-year-old boy is the secretary of the county. Can he bear such a responsibility?The master is not the emperor, he can rule by hanging down, willing to be a puppet.That is a big official who has to manage things, and there are a lot of things that adults may not be able to do well.

Zhang Shi wanted to flatter Wei Duan so much that he did such an outrageous thing?

No wonder Wei Ji took the initiative to draw a clear line, whoever provokes this kind of person will be unlucky.It is already very strange to be able to serve as Jingzhao prefect for so long.

Liu Xie suppressed the anger in his heart, threw the memorial on the case, and waved his hand.

Wei Ke understood and withdrew from the tent.

Liu Xie leaned on the desk, rolled his eyes, and took two deep breaths to calm himself down.

This matter looks simple, but when you think about it carefully, it is definitely not simple.

First of all, Yang Biao is here, and he has been here for two days.I didn't mention it before, but now I mention it suddenly, I must have received some news.Being able to pass the news directly to Yang Biao is not something ordinary people can do.

Secondly, Da Sinong Zhang Yi is in Guanzhong.Although the main business is farming, other affairs also have jurisdiction.If you want to impeach, it should also be impeached by Zhang Yi, and Yang Biao does not have to do it himself.

In the end, the timing was too much of a coincidence.Wei Kang was the county master in the second year of Chuping, and he was only dismissed now. From the time point of view, it should be after Han Suiping settled Song Jian.

Liu Xie called Cao Ang, who was on duty, and asked him to check to see if anyone was here today.

After a short time, Cao Ang came back.

Not only someone came, but also the rightful owner, Wei Duan, Wei Kang and his son.They met with Yang Biao first, and then they were put in confinement by Yang Biao.

Liu Xie smiled bitterly to himself after listening.

Yang Biao's move really had an ulterior motive, if he made a hasty decision, it would be a joke.

Liu Xie asked Cao Ang to invite Yang Biao.Inviting Yang Biao to take a seat, Liu Xie pushed his memorabilia over and looked at Yang Biao quietly.

"Is Yang Gong testing me?"

"Don't dare." Yang Biao looked calm, but there was a hint of relief in his eyes.

"Then tell me, how to deal with this matter?"

"Remove Zhang Shi."

"That's all?"

Yang Biao was silent for a moment. "Your Majesty, there must be no chaos in Guanzhong."

"Will there be chaos in Guanzhong?"

"Yes." Yang Biao said: "Zhang Shi took the initiative to dismiss Wei Kang at this time because he felt the pressure from the people of Liangzhou. Guanzhong was initially settled, and many people from Guanzhong moved back. At this time, people from Liangzhou moved in, and the population was rapid While growing, conflicts are inevitable. If people feel that the court is held hostage by Liangzhou people, anything can happen. Not only is it not good for the court, it is also bad for Liangzhou."

Liu Xie's heart skipped a beat.He thought that this matter was not simple, but he didn't expect that it would have such a big impact if it was not handled properly.

"Mr. Yang is saying that Han Sui and his son took the initiative to provoke?"

Yang Biao shook his head. "I don't think this is what they did on purpose, but the situation is such that it makes people feel that it may be so."

Liu Xie frowned.He knew what Yang Biao meant.This may not be someone deliberately provoking a conflict between the people of Guanzhong and the people of Liangzhou, but the objective conditions for the conflict between the two sides are already in place. It will definitely prevail.

And all of this stems from his special attention to Liangzhou.

Zhang Shi took the initiative to dismiss Wei Kang, and Wei Duan felt that he was in crisis and took the initiative to plead guilty, all of which were reactions of this kind of psychology.

This is what he sees, what about what he can't see?Not everyone has the opportunity to plead guilty before the emperor like Wei Kang and his son.More people were wronged but had nowhere to redress their grievances. They could only bear with it, but accumulated their grievances on the imperial court, treating him as the puppet held hostage by Xiliang people.

Removing Zhang Shi alone on the grounds of violating regulations and removing high officials can minimize the impact.

Although the county master's book can be removed by the county prefect, it needs to be approved by Situ Mansion.At that time, all the power was in Dong Zhuo's hands, and Situ Wangyun also obeyed Dong Zhuo's orders.Now when Zhang is held accountable, it is tantamount to holding Dong Zhuo and Wang Yun accountable, and it has nothing to do with him anyway.

I have to say that Yang Biao's plan seems vague, but it is actually the safest.

However, this is not the result Liu Xie wanted.

Chapter 458 Going the opposite way

"Can Wei Duan represent the people in Guanzhong?" Liu Xie asked.

Yang Biao hesitated for a moment. "Wei Shi is a surname in Guanzhong, and he is rarely a celebrity."

"Since you are a celebrity, don't you know that it is absurd for fifteen to be a princess?"

Yang Biao was silent.He heard the emperor's displeasure, and realized that he had made a big mistake, which was contrary to the emperor's original intention.

Can Wei Duan represent the people in Guanzhong?Maybe it is, but this common people are not the common people that the emperor said, but the wealthy family with a big surname.

Wei Duan, as a shepherd of Liangzhou, could not have known Zhang Shi's intention of making Wei Kang the county master, but he readily accepted it. How is this different from accepting bribes?

That being the case, it would be inappropriate not to punish Wei Duan when only punishing Zhang.

"The possibility of conflicts in Guanzhong does exist, and it cannot be taken lightly. The Dasinong Zhang Yi is ordered to save the land, and it must be distributed fairly. The people in Guanzhong are the people of the big man, and the people in Liangzhou are also the people of the big man, so it is not appropriate to be biased."

"Wei." A layer of cold sweat broke out on Yang Biao's forehead.

The emperor wants to take this opportunity to save the land in Guanzhong, which may have no impact on the people of Guanzhong, but those big clans who took advantage of the war to embezzle the land are a head-on blow.If they dared to resist, perhaps without the order of the emperor, the people of Liangzhou who had just moved in would hack them to death.

"Zhang Shi has to deal with it, but it's not just the violation of regulations to get rid of Wei Kang. Zhang Shi was indeed at fault in this matter, but Situ Mansion agreed, so Situ Mansion should take the main responsibility. Please Zhao Gong move the town to Guanzhong and investigate Zhang Shi Achievements when in office."

"Wei." Yang Biao said again: "How does Your Majesty plan to deal with Wei Duan?"

"Wait until I see him." Liu Xie regained his composure. "Perhaps Wei Kang is really a young genius, right? If he is a talent, I will naturally use him, and I can't belittle him just because he comes from a rich family. In that case, Guanzhong will really be in chaos."

Yang Biao looked embarrassed and wanted to retreat.

Liu Xie stopped him. "Mr. Yang came here to intercede for Wei Duan, right?"

Yang Biao woke up like a dream, and quickly took his seat again.

He came from Meiji to report the situation in northern Xinjiang.At the beginning of last year, the emperor defeated Fu Luo Han.At the beginning of this year, Xun You took the initiative to attack Danhan Mountain by surprise, Bu Dugen fled on horseback, and Ke Bi Neng bowed his head and proclaimed himself a minister.The Xianbei people suffered heavy losses one after another, and fled far away one after another. A large number of Han and Hu people entered the fortress, willing to become registered households.

Northern Xinjiang has a vast land and few people, but the arable land is limited, so too many farmers cannot be resettled.However, there is a large amount of grassland in northern Xinjiang, which is suitable for grazing, so many people who entered the fortress chose familiar grazing.

Grazing is good, but inconvenient to manage.Yang Biao came here just to discuss with the emperor how to solve this problem.His plan is to divide northern Xinjiang into different pastures, assign special personnel to manage them, and turn the erratic herdsmen into herdsmen who graze within a certain range.

Liu Xie thinks this method is feasible, at least you can try it.

But he raised another problem, controlling the number of people and livestock.Whether it is grazing or farming, the land in northern Xinjiang cannot carry too many people, otherwise the soil will be lost and it will be unsustainable.

Therefore, it is imperative to gradually move the population inward.Before moving inland, it is urgent to implement enlightenment.

In addition, it is the right time to organize herdsmen and set up pastoral gardens.The imperial court needs a large number of horses, and it is not enough to rely solely on seizing spoils and trading. There must be a pastoral garden directly controlled by the imperial court.

Yang Biao also had this intention, and hit it off with the emperor. After repeated discussions, he finally decided to set up pastoral gardens in Xihe, Shangjun, Beidi, Anding and other counties first.

According to the imperial court system, the pastoral garden was under the management of the eunuch, but the eunuch Han Rong was born as a scholar-bureaucrat, so he didn't understand these things, and he was already seventy years old, so he couldn't bear that kind of hardship.

Liu Xie decided that Hu Chuquan would be the servant and take charge of Muyuan.

Although Hu Chuquan is not good at fighting, after all, he was born in the Huns, and he is no stranger to raising horses.Considering that most of the people in Yuan Muli came from outside the Great Wall, and most of them were Hu people, Hu Chuquan was appointed as the imperial servant, so that those Hu people could see the sincerity of the imperial court and work with peace of mind.

Yang Biao agreed with Liu Xie's decision.Hu Chuquan used to study with Zhao Wen, and the effect was good, so he can use it.He also pointed out that it is not enough to rely on Huchuquan alone, and some Han people should be arranged as officials to assist in the management of Huchuquan, and at the same time sort out and refine the technology of raising horses to form a system.

The things that Pei Qianqian has done have proved that the role of scholars in improving technology can be extended to all walks of life.Ma Zheng is a major event, and it should be taken more seriously.

Liu Xie was very pleased.Yang Biao is worthy of being a pragmatic old minister, and he is still very keen.

After the discussion, Yang Biao resigned, and Liu Xie summoned Hu Chuquan.

Hu Chuquan visited the border with the emperor for a year, opened his eyes, and felt deeply, and admired Liu Xie even more.Although Liu Xie is young, he does things calmly. He has tamed princes like Han Sui so submissively.
