The atmosphere inside the tent was oppressive and suffocating.
The fine sweat on Yang Biao's forehead gradually gathered into streams, soaking his temples and collar.
His crown became heavier and heavier, his neck became more and more sore, and his head drooped involuntarily.
The emperor was getting higher and higher in his field of vision, and the silent pressure was getting heavier and heavier, making it unbearable for him.
For the first time, he realized that the intelligence of the young emperor 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. The late emperor often became furious at first and even cursed, but in the end he would accept it helplessly.
But the emperor was just silent, like a mountain.
Yang Biao gritted his teeth and let the sweat drip down his cheeks, making the ground under his feet wet.
It was extremely quiet inside the tent, and even the sound of beads of sweat dripping on the ground could be heard clearly.
Liu Xie raised his hand and pointed lightly. "Mr. Yang, if the matter is urgent, please obey your authority. There is no harm in sitting down."
Yang Biao looked at the small bed, hesitated for a moment, and bowed to accept the order. "Thank you, Your Majesty, for giving me a seat." He carefully lifted up the hem of his clothes, sat down on the bed, and flattened the hem of his clothes to cover his legs as much as possible.
Avoid indecency.
It is really unseemly for the monarch and his ministers to sit face to face on the Hu bed. But as the emperor said, obeying authority in urgent matters is really not something that can be paid attention to at the moment.
The emperor's phrase "obey authority in urgent matters" probably means that he will accept this suggestion, but only obey authority in urgent matters and cannot form a routine.
This didn't surprise him.
With the emperor's intelligence, it is impossible not to see the deep meaning behind this suggestion, let alone to 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 a place of life and death, and a way of survival, especially for my great Han Dynasty. Yang Gong recommended the guards and put them in a position of no retreat, and even more generals
The fate of the Han Dynasty depends on the Weiwei. Yang Gong, do you really not need to discuss it with the Weiwei?"
Although he didn't like this situation, he also knew that the situation was not up to anyone. Yang Biao had good reasons. He had to agree even if he didn't agree. All he could do was to minimize the impact, curb the ambitions of these veterans, and give
Leave yourself a chance to counterattack.
This is politics, intrigues and alliances.
The previous silence and pressure on Yang Biao were paving the way for him to give in now.
Even if he had to agree, he still had to make Yang Biao realize his attitude.
Yang Biao smiled bitterly.
Of course he discussed it with Shi Sunrui, but he could not tell the emperor the truth, otherwise he would be suspected of forming a clique, which would more easily arouse the emperor's suspicion.
Yang Biao cupped his hands and said: "Your Majesty, I am stupid and think that the ministers, including the three generals, cannot use troops as well as the guards. Although your Majesty is extremely talented and has ambitions for martial arts, the time is not yet ripe. Moreover, your Majesty has the responsibility of the world.
Hope, it is not advisable to put yourself in a dangerous situation. The guards have their country at heart and are loyal and resourceful. Although they know that the responsibility is heavy, they will not avoid it because of the interests."
Liu Xie raised his eyelids slightly and looked at Yang Biao with a half-smile.
We are all smart people, we each made concessions, and we all spoke thoughtfully about the situation.
This is the best result he can achieve.
"In this case, I will hand over an edict and order the Wei Wei to act as the Taiwei and take charge of the military affairs while I and the Taiwei are at the appointment. If he can make meritorious deeds, then the lie will become the real thing. At that time, he will choose another important task for Duke Yang. As for the matter
At this moment, I ask Mr. Yang to suffer for a few days and bear the honor of being a lieutenant."
Yang Biao's eyes trembled, and he bowed and saluted. "Wei."
Liu Xie immediately 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 confrontation between his father and the emperor seemed to be calm and relaxed, but in fact the confrontation was fierce.
The emperor's heart is like the sea, and Yang Biao's move is like forcing a thorn in the emperor's heart. If it is not handled well, it may leave hidden dangers.
The emperor agreed to let the guard captain Sun Rui take full charge of the military, but he refused to accept Yang Biao's resignation. If the guard Sun Rui could not complete the task, Yang Biao would not be able to escape responsibility as a Taiwei.
The emperor said that the Taiwei was a "fake name", which was a heart-breaking comment, pointing directly at Yang Biao's intentions.
Although he is young, he knows everything.
Taking advantage of Yang Xiu's free time to prepare pen and ink, Liu Gong calmed down his emotions, organized his words, then picked up his pen and wrote the edict with his own hands.
This matter could have been handled by Yang Xiu, but Liu Xie chose to write it in handwriting, firstly to express his respect for Shisun Rui and to avoid other unnecessary suspicions that would affect Shisun Rui's performance of his duties. Secondly, to protect Yang Biao. What accidents will happen in the future?
, it will all be borne by him, and Yang Biao will not be implicated.
This is of course a way to win people's hearts.
As a leader, you must have your own responsibilities.
Even if he hates Yang Biao for forcing him into the palace, he must protect Yang Biao at this moment, otherwise he will lose his own grace.
Seeing the correct handwriting flowing out of 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 handed it to Yang Xiu and asked him to use the seal. Yang Xiu took the edict and was about to turn around and leave when Liu Xie called out again
Lived him.
"Dezu, you might as well answer the question I asked you before with the Taiwei."
Yang Xiu was slightly startled, then bowed and accepted the order.
Yang Biao didn't know why, but he didn't dare to ask more questions.
——
Perhaps intentionally, or perhaps just by coincidence, Xu Huang was quickly placed on duty by Song Guo.
Compared with several other ministers who came from the Baibo Army, Xu Huang is obviously more in line with the status of the emperor's personal servant. He has good facial features, is stable and restrained, and has a nice name. Unlike Zhangba and Heiyu, he doesn't sound like a serious person at first glance.
Liu Xie sat on horseback and waved to Xu Huang, gesturing for Xu Huang to come closer.
Xu Huang bowed in greeting, lightly kicked the horse's belly, and came to Liu Xie's side, half a horse behind.
"Are you from Hedong?"
"Your Majesty, your Majesty," Xu Huang said, his voice not too loud but not too quiet, just enough for Liu Xie to hear. "I am from Yang County, Hedong."
"What historical sites are there in Yang County, and which famous people have produced it?"
Xu Huang thought for a while. "It is said that Duke Huai of Jin died in Gaoliang City in Yang County."
Liu Xie almost choked, and it took him a long time to regain his breath. "Where is this dynasty?"
Xu Huang shook his head crisply. "No." Then he added, "There was Wei Huo in Pingyang, but that was three hundred years ago."
"Where's Hedong?"
"No, at least not more than Wei Huo."
"Why is this?" Liu Xie asked.
Since deciding on Hedong, Liu Xie has been thinking about Hedong and discovered a strange problem.
As the birthplace of the Chinese nation, Hedong can be said to be a land of outstanding people, and the stars in later generations also shine. Talents of the Wei family, the Pei family, and the Liu family emerged in large numbers. However, between the two Han Dynasties, especially the Eastern Han Dynasty, there were almost no talkable figures in Hedong.
Xu Huang was silent for a moment. "I forgive you 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 moment. "There is such a person, a native of Jie County, who committed murder more than ten years ago and fled without a trace. Your Majesty is talking about... is he him?"
