Chapter 434: Inside and Outside Beijing
Zhou Yu felt cold in his heart and numb in his scalp when he heard Liu Bian's gentle words.
As Wu Jing was transferred to Bingzhou Mu and his father returned to Luoyang Prefecture, the situation in Wu County quietly changed.
The Jiangdong gentry deliberately promoted the Zhou family and strongly urged Sun and Zhou to marry.
The purpose of this marriage is very clear to anyone with a discerning eye.
Especially in the imperial court, which is filled with countless ghosts and spirits, how can we not see something strange among them?
But the reaction in Luoyang City was very strange, and His Majesty in front of him personally promoted it. There are even more ghosts inside!
Zhou Yu had speculated on various possibilities a long time ago, but until Liu Bian said, "Think about it later," Zhou Yu suddenly felt that maybe they had all guessed wrong.
The palace did not want to promote Sun Ce to counter Yuan Shao and block Yuan Shao in Yangzhou.
But his father recovered.
Xun You's face was as dark as water, and he looked at the official documents on the table. Every name was very familiar, and almost all of them could be called his disciples and former officials.
What makes Xun You even more upset is that this Xu You is obviously the person in the palace who is preparing to succeed Sima Jun.
Zhou Yu thought about these three words, and could vaguely sense that the smiling Majesty seemed to be hiding greater ambitions.
Xu You clasped his hands behind his back, shaking his head and saying, "Sima Lang, why are you talking to me?"
Zhu Jianping was not so optimistic and said: "Pushe, we still need to reconcile with the Prime Minister."
Sima Lang's face was filled with anger, but he was pulled away by Sima Yi.
Similarly, it can also be summarized as the 'Yingchuan Party'.
Many matters should be resolved within their court and the chancellery, and should not be expanded to cause turmoil in the government and the public.
Xun You looked at him and said, "Tell me honestly, how many things are going on in Taicang?"
Zhu Jianping immediately smiled bitterly and said, "Puye, why do you need to ask me? Just guess and you will know."
Xun You read it carefully and said thoughtfully: "I'm not worried about Yushitai, so Xu You is eyeing Taicang Ling?"
Zhu Jianping heard the words and said quickly: "What Pu She said is true. I, a Han nobleman, have received favor from the emperor in this life, and I am still bright and magnanimous. I am guided by the teachings of the saints, and I am loyal to the court and your majesty."
If it were in the past, he might have had the courage to fight hard, but the worst he could do would be death.
The official Cao Shangshu is Xun You!
If the official Cao Shangshu were to be replaced, it would be a huge blow to Xun You and the 'Yingchuan Party'!
Xun You took a deep breath and said: "Not really. However, I have a clear premonition. If it is true, I will find a way to ensure that you succeed me, and you must be prepared."
In his opinion, it was not his fault that Xun Yu and Zhong Yao drifted away from him, but that the two people deviated from their previous policy strategies and blindly catered to the palace, so that the situation changed drastically and made them Extremely passive, the 'Yingchuan Party' became the target of public criticism.
If this person is promoted to the position of Minister of Justice, it can be foreseen that the superficial peace in the court will be broken!
Xu You came not far from Sima Jun's bed. Looking at the haggard and seriously ill Sima Jun, he suddenly took three steps at a time and rushed to Sima Jun's bedside. He asked with concern on his face.
With that said, he stepped in and reached out to push Sima Lang away.
But Zhou Yu couldn't guess what it was.
Zhu Jianping's expression changed suddenly, and he almost stood up. He looked at Xun You nervously and said, "I didn't hear that, Pu She, did you, the Prime Minister, say that?"
Zhu Jianping was worried that Xun You would really do something outrageous, so he earnestly persuaded him: "Pushe, it is well known that Taicang is unclean, but it should not involve the prime minister. But the six caos and nine temples, Tingwei, Yushitai, etc. are involved. , it’s very difficult to say.”
The so-called "Han Rites" were revised based on the collapse of etiquette in the Han Dynasty over the years. It can be said that it is specifically aimed at the etiquette of the current officials and nobles.
'Nanhai County? '
Xu You was startled. Sima Jun's reaction was beyond his expectation.
Zhu Jianping's face darkened, and he shouted: "How presumptuous!"
Xun Yu was the former Taicang Order, and also served as the Secretary of Household Cao. He controlled the income and expenditure of money and grain. He seemed to have little power, but in fact his influence was boundless.
Xu You looked up and looked inside, stroking the sparse beard on his chin, and said, "It's really strange. Is there anyone in the Sima family? Let a junior block here."
Xun You frowned and said, "There's nothing to say. If they feel uncomfortable, they can just go back to study."
Zhu Jianping was very uneasy and hesitated to speak. After a while, he still said: "Pushe, you still have to calm down with the Prime Minister, Zhong Pushe."
'Yuan Shao, isn't he his number one enemy? Don't Liu Biao, Shi Jia, Liu Zhang of Yizhou, Sanqiang of Liangzhou, Xiongnu, Wuhuan, and Xianbei all look down on him? Is it confidence or arrogance? '
The official is on duty.
Sun Ce, will you come? If it comes, what will be the result?
Liu Bian stretched out his hand towards Huangfu Jian.
"Mr. Sima, are you okay?"
The first person to receive the news was Luoyang.
Zhu Jianping's best guess is that a collective case will not break out.
Sima Lang looked back and saw Sima Yi nodding calmly.
He could care about the brotherhood with Sun Ce, but now, he has to think more about the Zhou family.
Zhou Yu's mind was spinning, and he became increasingly confused about the majesty in front of him.
Huangfu Jianchang hurriedly took out the apple from his arms, rubbed it left and right on his body, and then handed it to Liu Bian.
The Order of Taicang is in charge of Taicang, and Taicang is the treasury of the Han Dynasty!
This is an extremely critical place. Once a thorough investigation is carried out, not only the number of people with money and food, but also the previous Taicang Order, Prime Minister Xun Yu, will not be able to escape the connection!
Xun You snorted coldly and said, "Didn't Sima Jun intervene?"
Zhu Jianping's expression changed slightly and he said, "Yes. Xing Cao has quietly captured You Cheng Qin Yi, and I don't know how much evidence they have."
"Yes."
Xu You glanced at Sima Yi and said with a proud smile: "Sima Shangshu still knows etiquette. It's time for these juniors to be taught a lesson."
On the other side, Xu You, the right servant of the Criminal Cao who has been in the limelight recently, led a large group of people to Sima Jun's mansion.
Huangfu Jian was startled for a moment, then bowed and said, "Your Majesty?"
But this Xu You is not the kind of person who knows the overall situation and acts cautiously!
When Zhu Jianping saw that Xun You was silent, he added: "I also heard that the Li Cao side is reviewing the 'Han Li', and there are many rituals built by the Dongguan side, waiting in line for review. Once it is promulgated, there will probably be a lot of them. People will feel uncomfortable.”
"Your Majesty, take the order." Zhou Yu responded, his expression still calm, but he felt uneasy in his heart.
The clerk lowered his head and said, "Yes, it's an official document."
The Grand Examination is co-hosted by Li Cao and Taichang Temple. The marking and admission are done in Dongguan. The Li Cao can only get involved in the final stage of appointment.
Xun You was calm and said: "Tell them, I understand."
Unable to advance and retreat together with Xun Yu and Zhong Yao, Xun You and Li Cao were isolated.
If a case is pursued endlessly, the number of people involved will also be endless.
111.253.246.193
The court has no money, but the less money it has, the more officials, big and small, will use all possible means to make money.
When Liu Bian rushed to Xuzhou, all kinds of news quickly rippled out from Pingyuan County like waves and spread in all directions.
Although the clerk did not finish speaking, Sima Lang clearly heard the word 'condolences', his expression became more and more gloomy, and he said angrily: "Grandfather is not dead yet, Xu You, don't be so presumptuous!"
After he finished speaking, he raised his head and looked at Zhu Jianping with cold eyes and said, "Have you heard the news that the official, Cao Shangshu, is going to be replaced?"
Just as Sima Lang was about to stop him with all his strength, he suddenly heard a voice coming from behind: "Brother, grandpa, please let Xu Shilang in."
After he finished speaking, a clerk came forward and shouted: "Shilang Xu is here to pay his respects...he is here to visit Sima Shangshu. You are only engaged in history, so why don't you get out of the way!"
Xu You looked back and said with a smile: "The Sima family's tutor is really enviable."
"Yes." Xiao Licong hurriedly retreated.
"Maybe nearly ten thousand people." Zhu Jianping said.
All the Sima men in the room quietly retreated, leaving only Xu You.
Xun You's face was expressionless, and he was thinking about everything in his mind.
Sima Lang blocked the door, looked at Xu Youhao's loud voice, and said sullenly: "Xu You, what do you want to do!?"
All the men in the Sima family looked at Xu You angrily without saying a word. The only sound in the huge ward was Xu You's footsteps.
Sima Jun opened his eyes, his eyes were vague, and he waved his hand gently.
When Zhu Jianping saw that he didn't mention the matter with Xun Yu and Zhong Yao, he sighed in his heart, sat back and said, "Wang Cheng, the owner of the house, wrote me a secret letter. I have burned the letter. According to what he said in the letter , His Majesty learned about some of the shady methods of the nobles, as well as the real households and acres in Pingyuan County, as well as the collusion between the local nobles and the rebellious people, etc. "
Xun You had an expressionless face and pondered for a long time before saying, "How many of them did your Majesty find in Pingyuan County? Do you have any news?"
In his opinion, Chen Yi had no culpability in Pingyuan County and could still be saved.
"Apple." Liu Bian stretched out his hand and said, "I'm a little thirsty."
Liu Bian didn't care so much. He took a bite and said to Zhou Yu with a smile: "What the Qing family said is reasonable. The navy is divided into two branches. One is in Donglai County, and the other is in Wu County. . If possible, I would like to build another one and put it in Nanhai County."
There is no doubt that the 'Yingchuan Party' is under huge impact. If things go on like this, the impact will become greater and greater until the 'Yingchuan Party' will replace it!
"Pu She,"
Zhu Jianping, the left minister, sat opposite Xun You and said with a worried look on his face: "Pushe, since this year, Yushitai has investigated and dealt with nearly a hundred officials, big and small, and more people have been implicated. If this continues, what should we do?"
Xun You's face was as sharp as iron, and his expression became more and more irritable, and he still said: "It's just a small place, and it can't represent the world's nobles."
Now he felt more and more unsure, and felt a little bit uneasy.
……
Xun You sat up straight and said with a look of surprise, "How much did you say?"
Xu You walked into Sima's mansion with dozens of people, walked through the wall, and went straight to Sima Jun's ward.
Regardless of whether the officials in Taicang say that they are not saints, how many of them can stand up to the threats and inducements from outside?
Thinking of this, he couldn't help but wonder, was his father's resurgence really a result of his father's own will, or was it a coincidence?
Seeing that he agreed, Liu Bian smiled even more and said, "That's good. My lord, write a letter to Marquis Wucheng. I want to see him in Xia Pi."
Before Xun You could think clearly, the clerk on duty came to the door and said: "Xing Cao has sent a message requesting the election minister Chen Yi to go to Xing Cao to give a reply."
Xun You looked serious and frowned slightly as he pondered.
Zhu Jianping felt something unexpected in his heart and said quickly: "I don't know, my official. Pu She, it's best not to think about that."
Xun You did not guess, but asked: "Prime Minister, are you involved in this?"
Xu You just swept his eyes lightly and walked straight to Sima Jun.
Seeing that Zhu Jianping was still very angry, Xun You shook his head and said, "Let's just go through the motions regarding Pingyuan County."
Xun You looked a little unhappy, staring at the list of people on the table who were about to be eliminated.
Zhou Yu's expression changed slightly and he said, "Yes."
At this moment, Sima Jun's ward was crowded with people. Almost all the men from the Sima family in Luoyang were here, more than twenty people.
"Xing Cao, I'll come up with a solution." Xun You pondered over and over again and said to Zhu Jianping.
Zhu Jianping agreed and said: "What should we do with Xing Cao? If we pursue him deep in Taicang, I don't know how many people will be implicated."
Sima Jun put down his hand, could only open his eyes a little, and said in an erratic tone: "Xu You, I have already submitted a letter recommending you to be the Minister of Punishment."
Zhu Jianping shook his head and said: "Sima Gong is seriously ill. The doctor in the palace said that he may be ill in the next few days."
Xun You didn't speak, feeling angry in his heart.
Xun You put together the list in front of him, handed it to Zhu Jianping, and said: "Let's get rid of them all. Please reply to the Yushitai again and ask them to investigate carefully. Don't miss a corrupt person who perverts the law. I am a great official of the Han Dynasty. I will be honest, honest and upright." "It is important to keep one's body upright, and there will be no greedy and evil moths!"
Although he also has a certain amount of power, his real influence lies in 'admission'!
The power of admission is controlled by Li Cao and Taichang Temple, that is, Chen Lin and Kong Rong.
Seeing that Xun You finally let go, Zhu Jianping's expression slowed down and he said: "There is one more thing that Pu She needs to take seriously. I got news from Taichang Temple that the number of people who signed up for the autumn exam this year far exceeded previous years. It is said that it is as high as seven or eight thousand. people."
As the "Five-year Jian'an Policy Outline" continued to advance, Xun You's interests were greatly harmed, which also led to the relationship between Xun You, Xun Yu, and Zhong Yao gradually drifting away.
In any case, when His Majesty spoke in front of him, Zhou Yu's options were greatly reduced, or in other words - disappeared.
He had to protect Taicang, firstly for the overall situation, and secondly for the sake of the "Yingchuan Party".
He didn't like Xu You. He had a wretched appearance, cold behavior, and no restraints. He claimed to be the "Emperor's Emperor" and had almost no taboos in Luoyang City, making him annoying.
This is a strong restriction that will inevitably have an impact on many people who have long been accustomed to the collapse of etiquette, making them uncomfortable and uncomfortable.
Once something cracks and a gap appears, it will continue to expand until it completely collapses.
Sima Jun blinked his eyes and said, "I have two of your letters regarding your attempt to assassinate the late Emperor."
Xu You's face changed drastically, and he no longer had the frivolous confidence before.
