Chapter 87

After taking charge of the royal spy, Lu Bu was overjoyed. He had the three major intelligence organizations, namely Catching Wind, Chuangxin and Military Intelligence, which could basically cover all the people. At that time, the world was under his control. Moreover, these three major intelligence organizations could also supervise each other to prevent a certain person from falling into the big position.

Lu Bu remembered several measures to suppress Dong Zhuo, and discussed with Empress Dowager He for a long time to make some appointments for tomorrow's court meeting. Fang quietly left the palace and turned back to Yan Mu's house.[]

The next morning, Empress Dowager He held a morning court again.

The Grand Tutor Yuan Wei came out to ask, "I wonder what the Empress Dowager will have to discuss in this court?"

The implication is that you, a woman, stay in the palace if you have nothing to do. Just have the big families outside, just be fine with us, so don’t be too troublesome.

Empress Dowager He hated Yuan Wei very much, but his face was full of spring breeze and smiled: "There are many things discussed in this court meeting, and the significance is also very important. The tutor asked him to return to the class and wait for the Empress Dowager to announce it one by one."

Yuan Wei had no choice but to take a few steps back and return to the position of the civil servant.

Queen Mother He suddenly showed a regretful expression: "Last night, the late emperor asked me to dream of this palace, saying that his life was nothing more wrong than the party and bribery. Although several party members were unfaithful to the court, more party members were innocently implicated. This made the Han wise men withered. The late emperor felt ashamed of his ancestors and ordered our palace to further lift the party and bribery and value the party members who had no bad records."

The ministers of the aristocratic families who were related to the party members knelt down and kowtowed: "The late emperor is wise! The queen mother is wise!"

Empress Dowager He re-elected and appointed a large number of party members according to the appointment that he had discussed with Lu Bu last night. As long as these party members have not made any big mistakes in their lives and have no big relationship with Yuan, they will be restored to their posts, and some will even be promoted to several levels.

The most prominent one is Cai Yong.

Empress Dowager He issued an order to pardon Cai Yong's previous crimes. Because of his extensive talent and ability to educate, he appointed him as the Grand Tutor and came to assist the young emperor Liu Bian.

Although Cai Yong was the best in both knowledge, literary talent, calligraphy and piano skills, Lu Bu asked the Empress Dowager to summon him to the court to be the Grand Tutor, not entirely because he was a cultural talent.

First, Cai Yong was exiled to Wuyuan County for offending Situ Liu He and his general master Yang Qiu more than ten years ago. Lu Bu was young at that time and had studied piano under Cai Yong for a few days, which was considered a fate between teachers and students.

Secondly, because Cai Yong's daughter Cai Yan and Lu Bu had a relationship with Cai Yan, she was beautiful, dignified and very elegant. According to Lu Bu's aesthetic view that liked beauty in the past, he naturally had no good feelings for this kind of bookish girl. But now he is just a college student who has come from a harmonious year in the 21st century. He thinks that Cai Yan is far better than the school beauties of their school, and he is leisurely born.

In addition, Ma Riyi, a major official of Guanglu, was promoted to Taibao, and was also responsible for supervising and assisting the young emperor Liu Bian.

Ma Rizhe was a son of the Ma Rong clan, a master of Confucianism, and Lu Zhi was a good disciple of Ma Rong. Ma Rizhe also passed down Ma Rong's robe and mantle. The two of them once taught the Zhongshu together with Cai Yong, and the three of them had a good relationship.

Lu Zhi learned indirectly that although Ma Rong's daughter Ma Lun married Yuan Wei and Ma Rizhen was related to Yuan Wei, Yuan Wei relied on his family's hypocrisy and reputation, and always looked down on the extravagant Ma family. In addition, when Yuan Wei was in charge of the Shangshu, he appointed officials from prefectures and counties to give priority to the children of the Yuan family and their disciples and former officials, and did not value the children of the Ma family and their disciples. Over time, Ma Rizhen not only hated Dong Zhuo but also hated Yuan Wei and Yuan Shao.

Lu Zhi knew Ma Riying's attitude, so he whispered to Lu Bu before the court meeting. Lu Bu hinted that the Empress Dowager could promote Ma Riying to Taibao.

Restoring the position of Taishi and Taibao was to divide the power of Taifu Yuan Wei. Because Cai Yong and Ma Riyi were also famous all over the world, people in the world dared not make any comments about Yuan Wei's appointment. If he had any comments, Lu Bu, Lu Zhi, Liu Hong and others would come out to impeach him for the dictatorship.

In fact, after the Empress Dowager Fengjia arrived in Yecheng, Jizhou, Lu Bu and Empress Dowager He were also preparing to transfer Yuan Wei's position as the Grand Tutor to Lu Zhi, who was more qualified to sit in the Grand Tutor's position than Yuan Wei.

Yuan Shao went out to question: "As soon as the Han Dynasty started, only the Taifu, Taishi, and Taibao were abandoned. The Empress Dowager restored the Taishi and Taibao, which violated the ancestral system. I asked the Empress Dowager to dismiss him."

The former officials of Yuan’s children and former officials behind him also bowed: “Please give up the Queen Mother.”

Queen Mother He said coldly: "Restore the position of Taishi and the position of Taibao is the dream of the late emperor in this palace. The late emperor also said that if someone opposes the position of Taishi and Taibao, he will let the minister come to see me. Do you miss the position of Taiji and want to accompany the late emperor?"

This is so murderous.

These aristocratic ministers are all bullying the weak and afraid of the strong. When they encounter a master with high aura, they are as obedient as dogs. If they meet a cowardly and trustworthy boy like He Jin, they will immediately become hungry wolves who eat meat.

Guangluxun Lu Bu, Huben General Wang Yue led the brave men under his command to carry swords and spears, and looked at him with anger. If there were no more children of such a noble family, they would definitely be killed on the spot and let them meet the late emperor.

In history, Yuan Shao said to Dong Zhuo, "Is it the only one who is strong in the world that is Dong Gong?" It seems that he is unyielding, but in fact it is because Dong Zhuo is an old official of the Yuan family. Yuan Shao has psychological advantages in the face of Dong Zhuo, and Dong Zhuo did not dare to kill Yuan Shao for a while, because he also hoped to gather the great families of the aristocratic families. But the situation is completely different now. Empress Dowager He learned the lessons of the Ten Eunuchs Rebellion and valued the trusted people such as Lu Bu, Huang Zhong, Wang Yue, etc. There were densely packed with elite soldiers loyal to the Han Dynasty. If Yuan Shao was rude, he could behead him on the spot for a crime of disrespect. The Yuan family would not dare to take advantage of the world's ruthlessness and immediately rebel.

Yuan Shao thought of this himself, so he apologized for joining the class and shrank his head.

Because of the agreement with Lu Bu, that guy Yuan Shu hated Dong Zhuo the most now, and he didn't care much about Yuan Wei's power being slightly weakened.

The former officials of the Yuan family saw that the leader was cowardly and frightened, so they had to shrank their heads with cold faces and not speak.

So, Cai Yong took office as the Grand Tutor, and Ma Rizhe took office as the Grand Guardian.

Ma Riyi is now in Luoyang court and takes office on the spot. Cai Yong is still in Chenliu's hometown, so Empress Dowager He asked Lu Bu to send a confidant to send an appointment edict to Cai Yong, asking Cai Yong to pack his luggage and go to Yecheng, Jizhou to take office as the Grand Tutor.

The next one to discuss is Situ's appointment.

The former Situ Dinggong was dismissed a month ago and no one is in charge now. Empress Dowager He followed the arrangements of Lu Bu and others and recruited the famous Yingchuan scholar Xun Shuang as the one.

Xun Shuang was Xun Yu's uncle, Xun You's uncle, and the sixth among the "Eight Dragons of Xun's Family". When it comes to talent and learning, it is the first. At that time, there were comments such as "Eight Dragons of Xun's Family, Ciming and Unparalleled". In order to avoid the disaster of party and corruption, he hid in the Han Riverside for more than ten years, specializing in writing, and wrote "Li", "Book of Changes", "Book of Poetry", "Shangshu Zhengjing", "Spring and Autumn Regulations", "Chinese", "New Book", etc., and was called Shuoru.
