"Did Mr. Yuan really do it? He actually admitted it!"
"This is so...so...so shocking!"
"I used to think that the Yuan family was the most loyal family in the Han Dynasty, but who would have thought... Alas!"
"Yuan Gong actually wanted to usurp the Han Dynasty and establish itself. We paid the wrong price after all."
"Those who are hypocritical and do wrong will be outraged by both heaven and man!"
"It is unreasonable to hide it from the world!"
"I have never seen such a cunning and cunning person."
"..."
In an instant, all the civil and military officials in the palace, whether in Nanyang or Chang'an, were furious and filled with righteous indignation. Their sharp eyes seemed to want to tear Yuan Wei into pieces.
Especially Lu Zhi, who had great trust in him, couldn't help but widen his eyes at this moment: "Mr. Yuan, you...how...how could you...could do this, I really..."
"well-!"
Speaking of this, Lu Zhi was truly speechless.
However, Yuan Wei glanced at Lu Zhi and his attitude was extremely cold: "Ziqian, the current situation of our Yuan family is beyond the understanding of people like you."
"I......"
Lu Zhi wanted to retort, but when the words came to his lips, he swallowed them back.
Because, he clearly understands that although he is now the third Duke of Nanyang Hanting, compared with the fourth generation and third Duke of the Yuan family, there is really no comparison at all. Therefore, no matter how you say it, the two are not on the same channel.
"But Mr. Yuan, what about me, Yang Biao?"
At that moment, Lieutenant Yang Biao took a step forward and looked at the opponent with stern eyes.
In front of Yuan Wei, Yang Biao was at best a junior. The person who lived at the same time as Yuan Wei was Yang Biao's father, Yang Ci. As for Yang Biao, Yuan Wei didn't take him seriously at all.
At this moment, Yuan Wei turned his head and glanced at Yang Biao, and said in a cold voice: "Your Yang family will suffer this disaster sooner or later. Maybe you can't feel it now, but when you get old, you will have a profound understanding."
"Mr. Yang, you..."
Before Yang Biao could reply, Liu Bian, the leader, interrupted directly: "Yuan Wei, do you want to say that the Yuan family was all forced out by the imperial power?"
Yuan Wei took a deep breath, his eyes were extremely firm, and he said coldly: "Isn't it true? My brother Yuan Feng is such a sincere person, but what is the final outcome? He was forced to death by the imperial power!"
"I, Yuan Wei, became the Third Duke earlier than my brother, but my body was in a plain state and showed little performance. What is the reason? Isn't it because I am afraid of being murdered by the imperial power?"
"My brother's death has completely awakened Yuan. I, the fourth and third son of the Yuan family, have deep roots in my family. If I can't move forward, I will only become a dead soul under the sword of the imperial power."
"Whether eunuchs or relatives, they are all extensions of the imperial power. If His Majesty the Emperor really trusts us, how can he tolerate eunuchs causing trouble? Aren't the two disasters of party imprisonment not enough to alert the world?"
"What did I, Yuan Wei, do wrong?"
At this moment, Yuan Wei was completely angry and said all the words in his heart: "If it weren't for me, my relatives, and the eunuchs, how could they be eliminated at the same time? How could you and other scholars be lucky enough to become officials?"
"It is impossible to kill all the eunuchs and relatives. If I, Yuan Wei, do not dominate the government and dominate the government, how can I ensure that the scholars will no longer be suppressed by eunuchs and relatives?"
"How can your young Majesty be able to govern personally? Will he trust me, an outsider, or his own uncle? In this case, the relatives and eunuchs will remain the same, but it will just be a different group of people."
"I, Yuan Wei, have a clear conscience!"
Speaking of this, Yuan Wei glanced at the civil and military officials of the entire dynasty and said sonorously: "I will never regret it either!"
quiet!
Quiet!
Deadly quiet!
The entire Wende Hall was as silent as cicadas, and you could hear a needle drop.
I have to admit that the old fox Yuan Wei is really very capable. Even with the knife on his neck, he can still use the most beneficial method to win sympathy and rights for himself.
He knew that he had committed a heinous crime, and he was unwilling to resist excessively in the face of irrefutable evidence. However, the public opinion of scholars all over the world could not be ignored.
After all, this kind of thing will suppress the Yuan family for ten years, or even be unable to recover for a hundred years. If he dies, he will just take it. But if the Yuan family is implicated because of this, it will be his fault as the leader.
Liu Bian, who had been trained by the Alliance of Military Advisors for a long time, saw through Yuan Wei's conspiracy at the first time. He took advantage of the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty to be stunned and had no time to think further, so he applauded and interrupted him.
Snap!
Snap!
Snap!
Liu Bian applauded one after another, immediately attracting the attention of the audience: "Okay, that's great. I didn't expect you, Yuan Wei, to be so good at sophistry. Even now, your Yuan family is still right, and everyone in the world is wrong.
!”
Yuan Wei raised his head and said proudly: "I, Yuan Wei, have never said that."
"But you did!"
Without hesitation, Liu Bian retorted directly: "If you are serious about serving the world's scholars, when eunuchs and relatives are eliminated, you should stand up, support the emperor with the momentum of the Yuan family, and assume the role of your assistant minister.
Responsibilities.”
"Instead of bringing in Dong Zhuo, deposing the emperor and killing him, causing chaos in the world, let Dong Zhuo help you do all the bad things, and then you kill him and then take control of the imperial power."
"You are not plotting for the world, but for Yuan Wei and your Yuan family. What you want to do is to be Dong Zhuo's second. When the time is right, you can usurp the Han Dynasty and become independent!"
"snort!"
Liu Bian roared angrily, and his whole body was filled with imperial domineering energy. The civil and military ministers in the palace, whether in Nanyang or Chang'an, were all frightened and subconsciously bowed to express their submission.
Even Yuan Wei himself couldn't help but be startled by Liu Bian's outburst at this moment. He couldn't believe that King Hongnong had such a grasp of his own psychology.
For a moment, Yuan Wei was speechless and could only remain indifferent.
Liu Bian stared at Yuan Wei with burning eyes, like a sharp sword. He stood up slowly, walked around the dragon's eucalyptus, walked closer, and said coldly:
"We are both the fourth generation and the third prince. Why can the Yang family of Hongnong continue to follow the right path, support the Han Dynasty in the right way, and fulfill their duties as ministers, but your Yuan family is ambitious and wants to go further and usurp the Han Dynasty to become independent."
?”
"because!"
Although Liu Bian's voice was gentle, it was sonorous and powerful.
It seemed that every word he spoke was like a heavy hammer, hitting the hearts of Yuan Wei and all the civil and military officials in the dynasty. It was more like a warning to the scholars all over the world:
"You have forgotten the true heritage of the Yuan family!"
"You have forgotten that Yuan An was trapped in the heavy snow and his whole body was frozen, and he was not willing to trouble the integrity of others."
"You have forgotten that when Yuan An was the governor of Chu County, he cleared up the injustice and rescued more than 400 families of innocent people. He once said that he could not bear to imprison people in the holy world."
"You have forgotten that Yuan An was not afraid of power and impeached his relatives who were in power. Even in his old age, he was still running for the court and discussing government affairs without breaking into tears."
"The Yuan family, which has been around for hundreds of years, has caused you to lose the Yuan family's character of being loyal to their duties and arousing the turmoil. Instead, in order to preserve the family's glory and wealth, you have followed others' influence and even conspired to usurp the Han Dynasty!"
Every word Liu Bian said was like a knife stabbing into Yuan Kai's heart.
That’s right!
The inheritance of the Yuan family has long been forgotten by the descendants of the Yuan family. This is the fundamental reason why they went astray.
These deafening words silenced all the civil and military officials in the court, but at this moment Liu Bian turned to Yang Biao and said sonorously: "You said that sooner or later the Yang family would suffer such a disaster."
"I can tell you clearly that the Yang family is different from your Yuan family. Their inheritance has not been lost and they have been fulfilling it. No matter how ignorant, corrupt, or even unfeeling towards the Yang family, they never gave up on the court!"
"When Yang Bing was Emperor Huan, he advised the emperor several times and impeached the eunuchs Shan Chao, Hou Lan and others. During this period, he was actually punished with hard labor. But did the Yang family ever complain?"
"When Yang Ci was alive, there were many ups and downs. Every time he was dismissed, he was reinstated, because my father knew very well that there were not many loyal ministers like Hongnong Yang left!"
"Yes!"
Liu Bian's voice became more and more powerful: "When Yang Ci passed away, my father personally mourned him and did not go to court for three days. He gave him a coffin in Dongyuan, clothes, three million in money, five hundred pieces of cloth, and issued a
The imperial edict expressed condolences and praised Yang Ci for being supported by Huayue, having all nine virtues, being a three-leaf prime minister, and supporting the country with loyalty!"
"Why did I appoint Yang Biao as Taiwei? Because he inherited the style of his ancestors and was a true loyal minister of the Han Dynasty. Even though I left him in the cold for two years, not only did he not complain, but he fulfilled his duties loyally and worked hard to make every arrangement good.
thing."
"His Majesty-!"
At this moment, Yang Biao was moved from the bottom of his heart and fell to his knees with a thud. Two lines of hot tears could not help but burst out of his eyes.
Originally, he was a little confused and even resentful of His Majesty the Emperor's neglect, but now, it was all over in an instant, and he even admired His Majesty the Emperor's arrangements.
"Your Majesty, Yang Biao, thanks you for your great kindness."
Originally, there was no kneeling ceremony in the Han Dynasty.
People can kneel to heaven and earth, to their parents, but they don’t have to kneel to the emperor.
But who would have thought that Yang Biao not only knelt down at this time, but even knocked his huge head down directly, hitting the floor with a loud thud, which made the civil and military officials in the court respect him.
but......
The person everyone respects more is not Yang Biao, but His Majesty the Emperor.
After all, this loyalty is the duty of a minister, but it is the honor of a minister to be remembered by His Majesty the Emperor.
The Yang family did it, perhaps not because of the loyalty of the Yang family, but because of the support of the Yuan family. This made His Majesty the Emperor feel how loyal the Yang family, who were both the fourth generation and the third prince, were to the imperial court.
Not to mention the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty, even the netizens in the live broadcast room were so moved by Liu Bian at this moment that they couldn't help themselves:
"What Mr. Bian said made even me, an outsider, a little moved, let alone Yang Biao."
"Yes, I was moved to tears after listening to it. It is only natural for Yang Biao to kneel down and bow down."
"Not only did he win over Yang Biao, he also set a good example for the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty. Well done to Mr. Bian."
"The most important thing is to directly shape Yuan Wei. It's your own problem. Don't talk nonsense!"
"..."
At this moment, even the experts from the Military Advisor Alliance couldn't help but praise: "Master Bian, what you said today was beautiful and the effect was immediate."
Liu Bian thought in his mind and said softly: "Fortunately, the experts gave me a lot of extra lessons, otherwise I wouldn't have known so many things, especially the comparison between the Yang family and the Yuan family, which allowed me to express myself on the spot.
"
"kindness."
The Military Advisor Alliance said calmly: "Well done, Mr. Bian, keep up the good work."
Liu Bian nodded: "That must be of course."
Immediately.
Liu Bian waved his hand to signal Yang Biao to get up: "Mr. Yang, please get up. I have always been aware of your loyalty. Although you don't say it sometimes, it doesn't mean that I can't see or hear you."
Yang Biao burst into tears of gratitude: "Thank you, Your Majesty."
"Yuan Wei!"
Liu Bian turned his head and glanced at Yuan Wei, and said coldly: "How many people are still reading Meng's "Yi" which was passed down by your Yuan family? Yuan Shao, Yuan Shu, have you ever studied it?"
Yuan Wei originally wanted to answer that he had studied it. After all, it was a real thing, but he did not dare to say it. After studying it and turning into this, that would really be a slap in the face of his ancestors!
"I once heard a saying that people cannot be poor for more than three generations and rich for more than three generations. This refers to ordinary people in the world. If you can be rich for more than three generations, you are called a noble. If you are rich for more than five generations, you can be called a noble family."
"A noble family with strong iron and an emperor with flowing water!"
Liu Bian turned back to his head, sat down gracefully, glanced at all the civil and military officials, and continued: "How can a family be prosperous? The most valuable thing is the inheritance of the family!"
"What is inheritance? It is definitely not gold, silver, jewelry, acres of fertile land, nor a book, nor an official position, but a code of conduct and a moral standard. This is the most important inheritance of a family."
"From ordinary people to aristocratic families and even relatives of the emperor, they all have their own original inheritance. If everyone in the world is like the Yang family, why would there be riots in the Han Dynasty?"
"..."
Taking advantage of this opportunity, Liu Bian taught the officials generously and showed his imperial temperament to the fullest.
Situ Luzhi listened very carefully and kept nodding his head in secret praise.
He once again felt that although the current emperor was young, he had already become a qualified emperor. In time, he would become an excellent emperor, and it was very possible to even surpass Emperor Qin and Han Wu.
Taiwei Yang Biao felt the same way, and was even more sure that his choice to enter Nanyang was extremely correct. Now that Nanyang Hanting had only been established for two years, it had recovered half of the Han Dynasty. In time, it was inevitable to revive the Han Dynasty.
Even the sinner Yuan Wei could clearly feel the changes in Liu Bian. If he had behaved slightly like he did today in Luoyang, how could he have ended up like this?
Time is also fate!
The destruction of the Yuan family will eventually become the cornerstone of the three prosperity of the Han Dynasty.
After a long time, Liu Bian spoke loudly and said loudly: "This case will be dealt with according to the memorial of Tingwei. I hope that all officials in high places in the temple can take this as a warning, otherwise I will not be merciful under the Han law."
The civil and military officials throughout the court shouted in unison: "Long live my emperor!"
Liu Bian stood up abruptly, turned around and left.
"Retreat from the court—!"
"Congratulations to Your Majesty!"
After the court meeting, Shangshu Taixun or immediately issued an edict. According to Xu Xuan's disposal plan, those who should destroy the three tribes would be destroyed, and those who should be imprisoned would be imprisoned. From then on, the Han Dynasty was the first to conspire to rebel.
, officially declared over.
Regarding the officials of Chang'an Hanting, Liu Bian upheld an equal attitude. Regardless of your previous official position, you were all required to follow the examination process of Nanyang Hanting. Those who passed the test would be supplemented, and those who failed would be discarded.
The only regret is...
Cao Cao's flying pigeon message arrived after the imperial court had concluded its political discussions and did not show his face to His Majesty the Emperor in the Wende Palace. However, it didn't matter. Liu Bian was able to handle the whole scene by himself.
Ten months later.
Emperor's palace.
Hall of Wende.
Liu Bian sat upright, holding the memorial handed over by Xun Yu, and read it carefully. He couldn't help but be startled: "Twelve.62 million acres of land? These seven families actually have so much land across the country.
?”
Xun He nodded with absolute certainty: "That's right, and this is just collected. There may be some missing, but I think there won't be much left."
hiss-!
Liu Bian was shocked and couldn't help but gasp.
Although he had expected it to be an astronomical figure, he did not expect that it would actually reach more than 10 million acres of fertile land. Calculated, on average, each family has millions of acres of land.
Liu Bian looked at Xun or's sketches and found that most of them were in the north, in Jizhou, Qingzhou, Guanzhong, Yanzhou, Xuzhou and Yuzhou.
"Master Ben."
At this moment, even the experts from the Military Advisor Alliance couldn't help but say: "Our private land privatization next year will definitely be more effective. To put it bluntly, taking control of these lands will shorten our time by at least five years."
The process of public ownership.”
Liu Bian strongly agreed with this point. After all, the more public land controlled by the imperial court, the greater the blood-drawing effect on private land. This would promote the process of public ownership of private land and keep up with Nanyang's pace.
"That's great."
Liu Bian was so excited that he wanted to jump up.
Fortunately, he has learned to show his emotions and anger, otherwise he would make Xun or laugh at him?
Liu Bian suppressed his excitement and turned to Xun Yu: "Wen Ruo, starting from next year, your courage will increase again."
Xun or bowed his head and said softly: "The content has not changed, it's just that the workload has become larger. It's no problem. I can complete the work with quality and quantity."
"Yeah, very good."
Liu Bian nodded slowly and said with a smile: "With you here, I feel relieved."
Xun You nodded and said, "Your Majesty, now that Yanzhou has surrendered to the imperial court, it concerns Liu Dai, the governor of Yanzhou. How is the imperial court going to deal with it?"
"this......"
Liu Bian admired Xun You's vicious vision, but he pondered for a moment and finally said: "Liu Dai's temperament is not suitable for being a governor, and the imperial court is not prepared to set up a state pastor."
"So be it."
Liu Bian simply gave his opinion directly: "Let Liu Dai return to the court first and serve as a servant. When there is an opportunity in the future, he can be sent abroad."
Xun You was stunned for a moment: "Ah? Just a servant?"
"What if?"
Liu Bian asked back: "Do you have a better official position?"
Xun You frowned: "Your Majesty, Zongzheng is still vacant now. After all, Liu Dai is a clan member of the Han Dynasty, so it is just right for him to be Zongzheng. Moreover, if Liu Dai can be Zongzheng, it will be beneficial to the imperial court to take back Jingzhou and Yangzhou.
"
Liu Bian naturally knew what Xun Yu meant, and said calmly: "Liu Dai can be Zongzheng, but what about Liu Biao and Liu Yao? What official positions are Wen Ruo going to assign?"
"this......"
Xun or frowned.
In fact, he had some positions in mind, but when His Majesty the Emperor asked, it was obvious that he was unwilling to give them these official positions, or was unwilling to give them in such a way.
If he continued to talk, he could not help but have no results and might cause unnecessary trouble. Therefore, Xun or did not continue to answer, but frowned and said:
"But Your Majesty, if this happens, I'm afraid Liu Dai will be unhappy. Liu Biao and Liu Yao will not follow Liu Dai's example and submit to the court. Instead, they may unite..."
hiss-!
At this point, Xun You seemed to realize something and looked at His Majesty the Emperor in surprise: "Your Majesty, could it be that..."
Liu Bian looked as usual and smiled calmly: "Wen Ruo, it only took me three years to regain half of the territory of the Han Dynasty. It is his great fortune that Liu Dai can submit to the imperial court, not my honor."
"As I said before, what I want is a brand new Han Dynasty, not the Han Dynasty under the old system, but this needs to be done step by step slowly, rather than wanting to quickly complete the unification, choosing to lower the standards, which will only bury the ground for the court. Hidden danger.”
"Jingzhou and Yangzhou have developed water systems and guaranteed grain production. They will definitely be the granary of the Han Dynasty in the future. I will never allow Jingzhou to cause any problems. Do you understand?"
Xunor took a deep breath.
He could clearly feel that His Majesty the Emperor's plans for the future Han Dynasty and the standards he had set in his heart would never change due to changes in the outside world.
This was an emperor with a firm goal. He not only wanted to help the Han Dynasty, but was truly preparing to revitalize the Han Dynasty. As a minister, Xun was very honored and even more moved.
Immediately.
Xun You bowed deeply and said solemnly: "I understand. Your Majesty, don't worry. I know what to do."
Liu Bian nodded: "Okay, in that case, I will leave this matter to you."
Xun or he handed over his hands and said, "I'm going to leave."
"Wait a minute."
Before Xun He bowed and left, Liu Bian waved his hand and interrupted: "Although Yanzhou has surrendered, its crisis has not been exposed. According to the latest intelligence, there are two large Yellow Turban armies in Qingzhou, and their total number may be more than one million. "
"You quickly send a message to Cao Cao Feige, asking him to pay close attention to the movements of the Yellow Turbans in Qingzhou. At the same time, order Xu Rong to lead his troops from the Langya Corridor into Qingzhou and prepare to take over the Qingzhou Army to replenish the troops."
"At the same time, Zhuge Jin, Xi Xian, Tao Qian and others were ordered to transport part of the grain from the Changping warehouses in Yuzhou and Xuzhou counties to Yanzhou and Qingzhou to assist Cao Cao. Xu Rong recruited this army."
Historically, it was in the winter of 191 that millions of Yellow Turbans from Qingzhou entered Yanzhou and were finally conquered by Cao Cao. Their elite troops obtained 300,000 troops and were known as the Qingzhou Army.
Today, this force is still there, but it lacks the driving force of Gongsun and Yuan Shao, so it is still staying in Qingzhou, but judging from the recently obtained information, it has already moved to Yanzhou.
For others, it may be a disaster, but for Liu Bian, this is simply a blessing from heaven. They just want some food. At present, Nanyang Hanting has no shortage of food.
Xun You leaned over and cupped his hands and said, "Your Majesty, don't worry, you can leave this matter to me."
"kindness."
Liu Bian nodded and reminded again: "Remember, keeping them fed is only one aspect. We also need to solve the problem of winter, including clothing, food, housing, transportation, etc., all aspects must be taken into consideration. Don't be careless."
Xun You assured him very solemnly: "Your Majesty, don't worry, I will live up to your high expectations."
