"Therefore, the emperor of the Ming Dynasty is virtuous and orders the throne, so there is no chaos; the loyal ministers are honest and capable and then dare to take up their posts, so there is no limit." [Xunzi·Ruxiao]

Wang Yun left, taking with him a list of officials that he said was "useless". Before leaving, he asked the emperor for permission to have officials from the Imperial Medical Office stay at the Xuanshi Palace to serve him at any time.

Such an impatient move to take away the official register and allow the imperial doctor to be stationed in the propaganda office is simply to minimize the impact of today's emperor. Looking at it from another perspective, Wang Yun's plan to assassinate Dong has reached the most critical stage.

Sometimes, there is no room for mistakes.

In the emperor's view, if he could not take power and Wang Yun came to power after the assassination of Dong, according to the original historical trajectory, this would be nothing more than one powerful minister replacing another, which would be of no benefit to the country or himself. Through this confrontation, he could gain the throne.

It is naturally best for Yun to give in. If not, Yang Qi, who is present, can also see Wang Yun's strong points and be rude, thus cutting off Yang Qi's last hope for Wang Yun.

Of course, the emperor never thought that Wang Yun would sincerely give in, so this time it seemed extremely dangerous, but in fact it followed the same bottom line.

After Wang Yun left, the emperor seemed to be discouraged and stood up to push forward the case. He stood by the window with his hands behind his hands and looked into the distance. Opposite the Shiqu Pavilion was the dilapidated Tianlu Pavilion, which was also where the imperial court once collected books.

The situation is different, which is sad.

Yang Qi and Wang Bin had already stood up and were standing behind the emperor.

Wang Bin knew that the emperor was depressed, and was about to say something when he heard the emperor say: "'To benefit the country, life and death are for it.' This is what Zichan, the official of the State of Zheng, said. All of you ministers are willing to fight for the world.

How can I sit in the palace and seek good fortune and avoid misfortune if I die?"

The emperor turned to look at Yang Qi, with a look of resentment on his face, "I am the Emperor of the Han Dynasty. You are loyal to the emperor, patriotic, and abide by the responsibilities of a minister. I must also be benevolent, love the people, and abide by the responsibilities of an emperor! How can I fulfill his name as a minister for such a big event?

Let me sit back and enjoy the results?"

"Your Majesty." Yang Qi knelt on the ground, defending Wang Yun and himself at the same time: "Situ has no such intention! As a minister, who would not want to share the worries of the king and help the country? Situ is the prime minister, and he is the minister.

What I am thinking is far beyond my reach; this is by no means a good opportunity, so I ask your Majesty to be patient..."

"You have seen what he looked like just now. Is he what you call a loyal minister?" The emperor immediately asked: "I want to rely on such ministers to help my great Han Dynasty?"

Wang Yun was tough, and his words and deeds were really not the behavior of a courtier. Instead, he seemed to use the attitude of an elder to 'educate' the emperor to do things. Yang Qi saw this and was unable to defend himself and had no intention of defending him. The emperor understood Yang Qi's difficulties and signaled

Wang Bin helped Yang Qi up and comforted him: "You can't do anything about it. You should find another way out. Fortunately, we don't have plans to rely solely on Wang Yun. Next, I hope that we, the monarch and his ministers will know each other and work together to create a better future."

What do you think Mr. Yang thinks of the great cause?"

After Yang Qi was helped up, he broke away from the emperor's hand and took a step back. "Your Majesty, with his sage and wisdom, will definitely be able to revive the Han Dynasty. Although I am not a virtuous person, I am willing to serve your Majesty."

The carriages and horses were sparkling, and it didn't take long for the emperor and his entourage to return to the Xuanshi Palace. Yang Qi retired from the court and returned home. He followed the emperor's order to go back and try to persuade his brother Yang Zan to surrender to the emperor. Yang Zan originally had the intention to surrender, but now he got the confirmation

the result,

Is there any reason not to obey? It's just that he was cautious by nature. At first, letting Yang Qi follow the emperor was just asking for advice and using Yang Qi to find out the emperor's depth. In addition, Wang Yun was too domineering and could not be a long-term interest ally, so he had the idea of ​​changing the family.

.

As the official Cao Shangshu, Yang Zan was in charge of the election of officials. He had great power for a while and was the most critical link in the emperor's plan.

As soon as the emperor returned to the promulgation room, he fell back on the bed, stretching his limbs to his heart's content, and his light uniform was pressed into folds. Wang Bin saw the emperor's child-like behavior at the side and was moved by the emperor's calm and generous attitude.

, I don’t regard myself as an outsider, but I can’t help but want to laugh.

"Come on, you can have a good rest these two days." The emperor stretched out comfortably and looked sideways at Wang Bin, "The snipe and the clam are fighting. I and the fisherman will watch from the side."

"The people in the world have no place to stand. If the emperor cares about the people, can he really sleep peacefully and worry-free?" Wang Bin paused and saw that the emperor had turned over and sat up, looking at him seriously. So Wang Bin

Bin continued with satisfaction: "Since your Majesty is convinced that Wang Situ has succeeded, you should make good plans for the court where Wang Situ is the only one. If your Majesty wants to personally handle government affairs, you cannot avoid the powerful Wang Situ."

The emperor thought carefully and nodded: "My uncle is right. Wang Yun will take the lead and be the most powerful. After all, I am not young enough. If there is no other way, forcing myself to take charge may cause criticism.

"

"What's more, my reputation is not obvious now." After the emperor finished speaking, he looked at Wang Bin.

Wang Bin understood what the emperor meant. Although the emperor had a reputation for being smart, that was Dong Zhuo's excuse to depose the young emperor and establish a new king. In the past three years, the government had been in Dong Zhuo's hands, and the emperor had no chance to show off his intelligence. If Trade

If you rush to take charge of the government in advance, I am afraid that the courtiers will only suspect that the people around the emperor have ulterior motives and instigate it, and no one will believe that the emperor really has the ability to take charge of the government.

"I think that the emperor is smart and benevolent, and it is not an exaggeration to take charge of the government in advance. However, in order to gain a reputation, one must have many contacts with the courtiers. When the courtiers are impressed by the words and deeds of the emperor like I am today, they will naturally gain a reputation."

After all, I believe that the emperor must have close ministers around him, who can not only praise the emperor's reputation, but also provide encouragement to the emperor."

The emperor also thought about this problem. Before Wang Yun took power, he created an imperial party composed of close confidants. They did not need to be loyal and capable, as long as they could unite around him.

This is an advisable method. The servants such as Shizhong and Huangmen Shilang have always been served by the emperor's closest ministers, but now, the ministers around the emperor are all recommended by powerful ministers. In addition to taking care of the emperor's daily life, they also have the intention of monitoring the emperor.

Even the astute emperor had trouble trying to win over and select suitable people as his confidants. He said in a deep voice: "Among the ministers and ministers around me, who is enough to entrust important matters? My uncle has been in power for three years.

, Not only do you know them all, but at least you know a few loyal people?"

This is equivalent to giving Wang Bin the right to recommend. Recommend in front of the emperor. With the current emperor's trust in Wang Bin, Wang Bin can almost determine a person's wealth, honor and disgrace. This is the first time that he has such power.

He was so excited that even his breathing became heavy. He carefully searched for suitable candidates in his mind, and suddenly remembered one person: "Huangmen Shilang Shejian, whose courtesy name is Wengu, is from Fufeng County. He has a rare reputation and was appointed by the government.

.”

Shejian rescued the emperor this afternoon before his arrival. Wang Bin reciprocated the favor, and he was the first person he thought of.

"I've seen this Shejian, but there doesn't seem to be anything outstanding about him. There must be a reason for my uncle to recommend him, right?" No matter in his past or present life, the emperor had never heard of the name Shejian. He thought he was a nobody, but he didn't know the king.

What did Bin like about the other party?

Wang Bin thought for a long time, and finally remembered a story he talked about in a chat with a group of Fengche Lang officials: "The ancestor of Shejian, whose surname was Xie, was of the same clan as the Xie family in Beidi. When his ancestor Xie Fu was a general,

The emperor recognizes

In order to thank Fu, the name was not good, so the imperial edict was changed to She. Later descendants took She as their surname and lived in Fufeng. The She family and the imperial censor Zhongcheng Huangfusong were family friends, and his younger brother Sheyuan lived at home, and also had a virtuous reputation."

Huangfu Song! Huangfu Song, one of the three generals of the late Han Dynasty?

The emperor immediately jumped up from the bed and stood in front of Wang Bin with a look of astonishment: "What did you say? Huangfu Song?"

This move startled Wang Bin. He quickly calmed down and gave the emperor a positive answer: "Yes, Shejian and Anding Huangfu's family are family friends. The censor is the eldest of his generation, and Shejian has always been the son-nephew generation."

Wait for it."

The emperor immediately remembered the Romance of the Three Kingdoms he had watched when he was a child. The first chapter of the opening chapter was about Huangfu Song, Zhu Jun, and Lu Zhi each leading elite troops to attack the Yellow Turban Uprising in three directions. This was the beginning of the Three Kingdoms. Wang Bin missed the mark.

, inadvertently gave the emperor new ideas

Road; win over Shejian, and then use Shejian to influence Huangfu Song. After assassinating Dong, the army left by Dong Zhuo cannot be fully controlled by Lu Bu, a small lieutenant general. There are famous generals like Huangfusong leading the troops as Austrian aid.

, enough to compete with Wang Yun.

The emperor knows better than anyone else how political power comes from the barrel of a gun. As long as he has military power, is he afraid that he will not be able to get political power?

"Shan, what my uncle mentioned is really a capable man!" The emperor said, stroking his hands, "If I can get in touch with Huangfu Song with the help of Shejian, and after I kill Dong, I can order his hands to control the troops in Chang'an. What can Wang Yun do to me?"

When Wang Bin saw that the emperor was so excited, he felt very proud. He did not expect that the emperor would pay attention to his first recommendation. Moreover, when he thought carefully about what the emperor said, he thought it was very feasible. The person he recommended was so successful that he became even more proud.

.Since the Eastern Han Dynasty

Since the emperor came to power, the rise of his relatives was an inevitable trend. Wang Bin thought to himself and realized that he had to recruit She Jian and others under his command, so he said: "I am familiar with She Shilang. If your Majesty is interested, I would like to be the first to join him."

Mansion, let’s have a look.”

"Good." The emperor laughed, raised his arm and patted Wang Bin's shoulder, and walked around the room again. Wang Bin had to follow suit, and tidied the emperor's clothes thoughtfully.

Suddenly, Wang Bin remembered something and felt the need to remind the emperor: "Your Majesty, I have something to tell you."

The emperor turned around after hearing this. Although his mood calmed down, there was still some residual joy in his eyes; "Uncle, I just said it doesn't matter."

Wang Bin took a step back and said seriously: "Your Excellency, Yang Qi, was born in Hongnong. The Yang family of Hongnong had three generations of ministers and ministers of the Manchu Dynasty. Most of them came from his family. There are many noble officials in the family who are prominent. Now the king is limited by the situation and relies on

With Yang Qi's talent, I believe that this can only be a temporary measure, but not a long-term one."
