The Most Romantic of the Three Kingdoms Chapter 325

"I wait for the public heart to serve the country, and the sincerity can be learned from every day, but there is suspicion in the chariots, so what's the harm?" Yang Biao was righteous.

This minister is a delicate person, with a deep worry on his face, and said: "Yes, yes, what Yang Gong said is very true, but today is different from the past..."

"What do you mean by that?"

The minister said: "Before, there was Yuan Shu who wanted to ask for it, so although Che Qi was suspicious of us, he couldn't spare his hands to deal with us, but now that Yuan Shu has been destroyed, Xu County has no worries, and Che Qi Fu has made a great contribution. , because I'm worried, ... Mr. Yang, will Che Qi start attacking us next?"

Yang Biao understood the meaning of his words.

There are two meanings.

The first meaning is that by eliminating Yuan Shu, Xun Zhen has eliminated the biggest foreign invasion around Yingchuan, and Xu County is now in a relatively safe environment; another meaning is that the surrounding environment is safe, Xun Zhen will continue It is possible to concentrate all efforts to resolve the opposition forces in the DPRK and China one by one.

Yang Biao actually had this concern too, but on the surface he showed no fear, he said, "I am not afraid of the ravages of the likes of Dong Zhuo, Li Jue, and Guo Si, how about a chariot? People's hearts, hitchhiking, wanting to get rid of me, Shilin Youyou, people make comments and ridicule, isn't he afraid of it?"

The minister answered "yes" twice, and said, "Yang Gong's words are reasonable, but in my humble opinion, chariots or chariots may be afraid of people's words, but chariots and chariots are like Cheng Jia's generation, but they are all greedy for power. People, Cao Li is greedy, not necessarily afraid of people's words, so I seem to have to guard against it, in case the chariot is persuaded by the villains such as Cheng Jia, ... Yang Gong, won't we become meat under the knife Is it?"

"what do you mean?"

The minister said, "I think it's better for us to take precautions in advance."

"How to guard against it?"

The minister said: "Before the chariots and cavalry attacked Yuan Shu, Dong Cheng was sent to Luoyang on the grounds of preventing Yuan Shao from going south. Now that Yuan Shu has been destroyed, in my opinion, can Dong Cheng and his troops be recalled to Xu County? ?"

Most of these ministers who opposed Xun Zhen were civil servants. Even if they had a military rank of "School Commander", they had no soldiers and horses. The only one with the most soldiers and horses among them was Dong Cheng. When Dong Cheng was in Xu County before, they gathered together to discuss how to oppose Xun Zhen, at least they had some confidence, but now that Dong Cheng was not in Xu County, they sat together again and discussed how to curb Xun Zhen's power. Even if they are themselves, they will inevitably have a sense of "empty talk", and even like this minister, they will also have a sense of insecurity and crisis. ——However, it has been four or five years since Dong Zhuo smashed the imperial court. No matter how pedantic he is, he has already understood the importance of military power to politics, and he has long known that if there are no soldiers in his hands, then his words are completely useless. Countless.

Therefore, this minister made this proposal.

This suggestion can be said to be quite pragmatic. After thinking about it, Yang Biao agreed and said, "Okay, I will submit a letter to the sage tomorrow, please invite Dong Cheng to pay it back."

The next day, Yang Biao really wrote a letter, requesting that Dong Cheng and his subordinates be recalled to Xu County.

When the letter arrived in the palace, Liu Xie finished reading it. It happened that Dong Cheng's daughter, Concubine Dong Gui, received a letter from Dong Cheng a few days ago. In the letter, Dong Cheng also expressed her desire to return to Xu County. Liu Xie had brought up this matter, Liu Xie thought that there was no need to hold a court meeting to discuss such trivial matters. Anyway, the war in Nanyang was over, and Yuan Shao's side had not made any movement. It seems that leaving Dong Cheng in Luoyang. It was indeed unnecessary, so a decree was passed down, ordering Dong Cheng and his troops to return to Xu County.

However, what Liu Xie did not expect was that two days after the decree was passed down, he received another letter from Yang Biao that day, still suggesting that he summon Dong Cheng back to Xuxian County. Liu Xie was puzzled and called. Zhao Yue came forward and asked, "Didn't I have already issued an order? Why did Duke Yang send a letter to me again, please summon Dong Cheng to repay it?"

How could Zhao Yue know the reason? Then I went to inquire, and after I finished inquiring, I came back to report to Liu Xie, but when I reported it, I hesitated.

After listening to Liu Xie for a while, he didn't know what he was talking about. His young face frowned and he said, "What are you talking about? What's wrong with my purpose?"

Zhao Yue took courage and answered bluntly, saying, "When you return to Your Majesty, His Majesty's will has not been issued."

Liu Xie was stunned for a moment, and said: "

Not released yet? What do you mean by this? "

"If you return to Your Majesty, it means that you have not issued it."

Liu Xie was silent for a while, then said, "You mean, this will of Zhen has not come out yet?"

"Your Majesty Shengming, this is exactly what this little slave means."

Liu Xie asked, "Why didn't it come out?"

Zhao Yue was in trouble and replied, "If it's your Majesty's words, I don't know why the little slave didn't know it. Otherwise..."

"How about it?"

"Why don't your majesty summon the minister of the minister to ask him?"

Shang Shuling said that he was ill before, and has not been to the office for more than ten days. Now the general manager of Shangshutai is Shangshu Pushe.

But it's just that it's getting late now, and it's obviously not appropriate to call Shangshu Pu to shoot into the palace.

Liu Xie has also heard many stories of the previous dynasty. Even though he was young, he still has some political wisdom. In the evening, he hurriedly summoned the officials of the Shangshutai to enter the palace. They speculate wildly. At this time of chaos, if it is not done well, it will cause unrest in the hearts of the people and cause unnecessary trouble.

Therefore, Liu Xie suppressed his doubts and put it aside for the time being.

That night, Liu Xie was still living in Fushou's palace.

All night, Liu Xie was very worried. He told Fu Shou about this matter, and finally said: "Empress, do you think it's strange? My will has been sent the day before yesterday, but it has not been passed down so far, and I don't know if it is. For what reason, this is really inexplicable!"

Fu Shou comforted Liu Xie and said, "Your Majesty, if you ask Shang Shu Pu She tomorrow to ask, don't you know what's going on?"

Liu Xie said, "That's the only way!"

It was easy to wait until the next day, when Liu Xie got up early in the morning and ordered someone to summon Shangshu Pu She to see him.

Before waiting too long, the servant of the minister shot to him.

Liu Xie saw him in the small hall, and when the minister of the minister had passed the salute, Liu Xie called him to get up, but without any nonsense, he asked directly, saying: "I ordered Dong Cheng to return to Xu County the day before, why is it now? No news?"

"It turns out that His Majesty summoned ministers today for this matter."

Liu Xie nodded.

"In response to Your Majesty's words, the minister wanted to report this matter to His Majesty the day before yesterday, but the Taichung Commissioner was too busy for the past two days and couldn't find time for a while. Since His Majesty asked about it today, then the minister will report it to His Majesty today! His Majesty's decree has not been issued, because His Majesty's decree is not the decree prepared in the middle book, and there is no deliberation under the door."

Liu Xie was stunned and said, "Isn't it through Zhongshu?"

"Your Majesty knows that anyone who has a holy will to pass down must first have a decree drawn up by the Chinese book, reviewed by the sect, and finally implemented by the minister. However, this decree of Your Majesty is neither drawn from the Chinese book, nor has he ever been to the sect. Because of the trial, even though it has arrived in the Shangshu, the ministers and others are incapable of doing it.”

Hearing this in Liu Xie's ears, Liu Xie was speechless.

This set of procedures, such as the preparation of the decree in the central book, the deliberation by the subordinates, and the implementation of the official document, cannot be said to have not been done before in this dynasty, but for now, in fact, after Xun Zhen took power in the central court, he exactly stipulated it,—— At that time, Yang Biao and others believed that this procedural regulation was beneficial to restricting the power of Shangshutai, that is, Xun Zhen himself, who was "recording the affairs of Shangshu". As a result, the will of the current imperial court must go through the two processes of "preparing the decree in the middle book and reviewing it under the door" as said by the servant of the minister, She Shicai, before the minister can implement it.

That is to say, just in terms of the procedures from the formulation to the implementation of the imperial edicts currently implemented by the imperial court, what the minister said was correct.

"You're saying that no matter how big or small, I should first order the central book to draft the decree, then go to the door for deliberation, and finally go down to your book desk to be able to do it, is that right?"

Shang Shu Pu She could hear Liu Xie's hidden anger, but he was not afraid, and answered in a straight-forward manner: "It's exactly what you said when you return to Your Majesty. The common people in the village know that there are no rules and regulations. This system cannot be ignored.”

Sitting on the dragon chair, Liu Xie stared at the Shang Shu Pu She for a while, but what the Shang Shu Pu She said made sense. After all, he had no choice but to say, "That's it! Let's draw up the decree first." Zhao Yue immediately went to see Zhongshuling.

At the same time, Liu Xie did not ask the minister to retreat. He made up his mind. After the Zhongshu order arrived, he would ask the Zhongshuling to draft the order on the spot, and then pass the order to the people for deliberation, and then the Shangshutai would implement it. .

After waiting for a long time, Zhongshuling arrived.

Liu Xie told him the reason why he had called him, and ordered: "You will draft this will for me now."

Zhongshu Ling looked embarrassed, looked up at the pen and paper held by the eunuchs, but did not start to write.

Liu Xie was very surprised and asked, "Didn't you hear what I said?"

Zhongshu Ling replied: "Your Majesty, the drafting of the decree should usually be written by the Zhongshucheng, and this is not the task of the minister."

Liu Xie was completely amused. He laughed angrily and said, "It's not your business?"

"I dare to ask Your Majesty to forgive me."

Liu Xie ordered Zhao Yue to say, "Go and call Zhong Shucheng!"

The surname of Zhongshucheng was Yin, and he was the son of Yinxiu, the former chief official of Xunzhen. He had only been in this position for less than half a year. When the decree to call him into the palace continued, he came faster than Zhongshuling, and he arrived soon after. After entering the palace, enter the palace.

When he arrived at the hall, he respectfully bowed to Liu Xie.

Liu Xie ran out of patience at this time, and before he finished his salute, he said, "I want to summon Dong Cheng to return Xu, and you will immediately make this plan for me."

Zhongshucheng hesitated, but just like the Zhongshuling, he just glanced at the pen, ink, paper and inkstone that the eunuchs were holding, and had no intention of drafting with a pen.

Liu Xie stared at him and said, "Why didn't you write it? Just now, Zhongshu Ling said that it was not his job to draft the purpose, why? Could it be that it is also not your job?"

"In response to your majesty's words, it is indeed the main task of the minister to draft the decree, but in the humble opinion of the minister, it is not appropriate to draft the decree immediately."

Liu Xie asked, "What do you mean by that?"

"In my humble opinion, did Your Majesty call for a chariot to come and ask the chariot's opinion?"

Liu Xie said angrily, "I have to ask if I can ride a bike for this trivial matter!"

"Your Majesty, why is this a trivial matter? Dong Cheng is not only a minister of the dynasty, but also has more than 2,000 troops and horses in his department. It is indeed a big matter to call him and his subordinates back to the dynasty! Your Excellency, however, this minister thinks that such a major event should be called a chariot and asked."

As soon as Master Wang came out, he decided Yuan Shu's victory in one fell swoop, which made Liu Xie's heart be full of anger. When Zhong Shucheng said this, he became more and more angry, and said angrily: "You still know that I am the Lord of All Saints? "

Zhong Shucheng was still in a slow-moving manner~www.mtlnovel.com~ in no hurry, answered Liu Xie, and said, "Your Majesty, the one who has been entered by the ministers is loyal, and I hope Your Majesty will listen to it."

Liu Xie was furious, picked up the Yu Ruyi on the table, and wanted to fall to the hall. A soft and soft voice came from the side: "Little slave begging Your Majesty to calm down, but don't let your anger break down!"

It was the **** Zhao Yue who spoke.

Liu Xie reluctantly put Yu Ruyi back on the case, glared at Zhong Shucheng, and then turned his eyes to Zhongshuling and Shangshuling. The more he looked at these three people, the more annoyed he became. Report: "Report to Your Majesty, the General of the Chariot and Cavalry asks to see you."

However, inside and outside the palace city, Xun Zhen's guards are now guarding it. Liu Xie successively summoned Shangshuling, Zhongshuling, and Zhongshucheng to the palace. There was a lot of commotion, not to mention that Shangshu and Zhongshu had already been there. In a hurry to report to Xun Zhen, even the officials in the palace had already left the palace and reported to Xun Zhen, so Xun Zhen arrived in time.

Liu Xie held back his anger and said, "Please ride into the temple."

Soon, a person came in from outside the hall.

Liu Xie raised his eyes and saw that the sunlight was entering from outside the hall. This man seemed to have come out of the light. The sunlight reflected behind him, showing a dazzling light.
