Three Kingdoms

In Chang'an City, above the main hall of Weiyang Palace, hundreds of officials gathered, neatly dressed.

For these officials in Chang'an, the Great Court Meeting on the 15th day of every lunar month is a rare time to appear in front of the big bosses, so each of them tries their best to show their rigorous and conscientious side. Trying to leave a good impression in front of the boss...

But it is a pity that from ancient times to the present, big guys often fail to remember the so-called decent image of being the same as everyone else. On the contrary, those negative big guys are deeply impressed. But unfortunately, I guess no one dares to do that on purpose. Seek death once.

Since Wang Yun became the regent of the court, Wang Yun has basically had the final say in all major and minor matters. Of course, some people are dissatisfied with this approach, but the Yang family has never taken the initiative to stir up disputes in the court, so No one else dared to come forward.

But today's atmosphere is a little weird.

Yang Biao looked at his nose with his eyes and his nose at his mouth. He seemed to have wandered away from the world and ignored the mundane world. On the contrary, some people standing behind Yang Biao exchanged glances with each other, as if they were silently planning something.

Wang Yun was always the last official to appear, so when he arrived, it was almost time to file into the palace.

Wang Yun walked forward slowly with square steps. Officials on both sides saluted Wang Yun from time to time, and Wang Yun also nodded slightly in response.

"Hundred officials come in!" Seeing that Wang Yun was already in place, the official in front of the palace raised his neck and gave a long shout, and the loud voice started the prelude to today's court meeting.

"Your Majesty is here!" Liu Xie waited for all the officials to take their places before appearing on the stage.

In the main hall of Weiyang Palace, on both sides of the emperor's steps are the seats of the three princes, and then the nine ministers. As for other personnel, they are ranked according to their official positions.

The three ministers and nine ministers have separate seats, while other officials need to sit together, and even the younger officials can only attend - that is, stand and listen.

"If you have something to do, report it early; if nothing happens, leave the court!"

Of course, this sentence was just a matter of routine. In any case, it was impossible to have nothing to say at a great court meeting. Therefore, as soon as the words were finished, someone stood up and started to say: "The price of grain in Kyoto is a thousand dollars per bucket of rice, and the road to death is Skeleton, now that spring plowing is about to begin, the warehouse is empty, and there is no grain to plant. I can't help but panic. I implore your majesty to adjust the grain from Shandong. On the one hand, the price of grain will be calmed, and on the other hand, it can be planted. This is an urgent matter. I hope your majesty will make a decision soon. .”

Liu Xie was silent because he knew that the so-called "Your Majesty" was just a title, and these people were not really talking to him...

Wang Yun's expression changed slightly, and he glanced at the official who spoke righteously from the corner of his eyes.

Is this important?

certainly.

Food is the most important thing for the people, and the problem of not having enough food is of course serious...

But is this problem only discovered now?

Of course not.

However, this question is raised now...

The first lunar month is the beginning of the year. At this time, people always say some auspicious words, prospects for the new year, etc. Even if they have to say it, they will pay attention to some strategies. How can there be such a straightforward and big thorn? Say it directly?

This means that I, Wang Yun, overthrew the national thief Dong Zhuo last year, and then the sky was angry and people were resentful, the people were in dire straits, Baixin had no food and clothing, and was miserable?

However, Wang Yun cannot come out and accuse this official of being wrong. One is that Wang Yun personally criticized an official of this level, which is beneath his status. The other is that such a topic of concern for the country and the people cannot be easily opposed...

However, it is impossible not to object.

Adjusting Shandong's grain and grass?

Is it food and grass from Shandong or soldiers that are being transferred?

Hongnong Yang had already sent someone to talk about this matter once before.

At that time, when Dong Zhuo died and how to deal with Xiliang and other soldiers, someone suggested: "People in Liangzhou are always afraid of the Yuan family and afraid of Guandong. If the troops are dismissed now, everyone will be in danger. Huangfu Yizhen As a general, he led his troops, because the envoys stayed in Shaanxi to pacify them, while Xu conspired with Guandong to observe the changes."

Of course, it seems to be a good strategy on the surface, but in fact, it may not be so for Wang Yun personally.

Can Wang Yun control Huangfu Yizhen?

Or in other words, when Huangfu Yizhen gains military power, will he obey Wang Yun's orders?

The answer is simple and obvious, so it is naturally impossible for Wang Yun to let Huangfu Song really take charge of the Xiliang soldiers. Moreover, the Xiliang soldiers are not a big deal in Wang Yun's concept.

How long can an army last without the support of money and food?

Wouldn't it be the same as Ushisuke, who would eventually die?

So the focus is still not on the army, but on the court.

Just like today, the person mentioned in the memorial did not even say hello to Wang Yun, and just came out like this...

"Your Majesty, I have ordered the supplies of food for the three assistants, which will arrive soon." Wang Yun said slowly, and then glanced at Yang Biao slightly.

Liu Xie continued to remain silent.

A lieutenant of the Shangshu Ling stood up, raised his hands and said: "Your Majesty, in the past, Lang Fei, who was protecting the Huns, had outstanding military achievements. He first quelled Baibo, then Xianbei, and now he has quelled the Xiliang rebels. He has made great contributions to the country and should be commended."

Wang Yun quickly said: "This is a very good thing! In the past, the guard of the Hungarian Zhonglang marched into Shangjun in the spring, and achieved success in the winter. The movements of the troops were unpredictable, and there were no plans. In the north, the fortresses were broken like withers, and the enemies were destroyed like snow. , the Yibaibo troubles, the Xianbei attack, and the quelling the rebellion in Xiliang have made great achievements. It is appropriate to join the Dingyang Pavilion Marquis to encourage him."

"Marquis Dingyangting?" Liu Xie repeated in a low voice.

The rule that non-military merit was not allowed to be ennobled was actually gradually broken during the period of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty. Later, it became more and more chaotic. By the time of Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty, various official positions were even openly sold. Although titles were not as common as official positions, But it’s also relatively worthless…

But strictly speaking, there is no big problem in making Feiqian a Tinghou. After all, Feiqian's achievements are all real military exploits.

The reason why Wang Yun brought it up at this court meeting was that he wanted to completely finalize this matter at the court meeting. Fei Qian seems to be becoming more and more important to Wang Yun, so Wang Yun is eager to take Fei Qian into his pocket...

However, as soon as Wang Yun finished speaking, someone stood up and said: "Moths are chaotic and disturb the country in all directions. Anyone who takes advantage of the official salary should share the responsibility. To pacify Baibo is the responsibility of protecting the soil and defending the territory, and if Without the governor of Hedong County to guard Xiangling, how can we have a chance to fight? The two have already been rewarded for their previous achievements, how can they be rewarded more generously now? It is his duty to protect the Huns in the north and resist the Hu people from going south. How can one be rewarded for one's job? Wouldn't it mean that everyone in the world has merit? The troops in Xiliang are insurrection, and the traitor Dong is dead, so why should we be afraid of them? The disciples of Xiliang are afraid of the power of the imperial court and flee in the wind, how can we take credit for this?"

In a word, the things Fei Qian did had either been rewarded before, or were part of his job, so how could they be considered credit?

Especially some of the words involving Xiliang soldiers were exactly what Wang Yun had said before. Such and such, immediately choked Wang Yun...
