In the city of Luoyang, Yuan Mansion.

Among the Yuan family's four generations and three dukes, among the Yuan clans of Runan, Yuan Wei is now the Grand Tutor of the current dynasty, Yuan Feng is Sikong, Yuan clan of Chenjun, and Yuan Pang is also the Jinwu clan. As for the positions of Nine Ministers, Governors, Prefect, General, and Captain, there are countless.

When he was in court, Yuan Wei returned to the mansion.

"Zhi Yang, what's going on at the court meeting today?"

A slightly weak voice came from the house.

Yuan Wei walked into the house respectfully, but saw an old man who looked a little similar to him, sitting upright in the middle. Although his face was a little pale, his eyes were like lightning and he was very vivid.

"Brother, everything is as expected by my brother. Huangfu Song and Lu Zhi strongly recommend Liu He, Yanmen, but they were rejected by my younger brother and the court officials, and even the general secretly helped us."

This time, Yang Zhen was named Yuan Wei, and the person opposite was not someone else, but Yuan Wei's brother. Yuan Feng, the Sikong of the dynasty, was unwell, so the court took a leave.

Yuan Feng smiled after hearing Yuan Wei's words.

"Haha, I have to say that Liu He is really a talented person. He was born in a wild land and could gather such a group of heroes. He made such great achievements in just a few years. If he was someone like me, or if he showed an attitude of being close to the gentry, he would have gained our support. Now he is afraid he is already in a central general, so why has he been in a bitter and cold place in the north?"

"Yes, but unfortunately he chose to go against our aristocratic families. He has destroyed dozens of local tyrants and aristocratic families over the years, and always gives all kinds of benefits to the people. If he is allowed to grow up, it will inevitably be a big trouble for our aristocratic families and must be eliminated as soon as possible."

A trace of sinister flashed in Yuan Feng's eyes.

"You will tell me about the situation of today's court meeting."

"Yes!" Yuan Wei said respectfully.

"Your Majesty is ill and he didn't want to discuss politics at first, but Huangfu Song stood up and said that there were important matters in the border areas to report that Liu He had a great victory in Yanmen, captured Kuitou alive, and asked him to be appointed as the captain of the attack on the enemy. On the occasion of the festival, he also ordered him to lead troops to Beijing to receive the reward, and Lu Zhi also supported him."

Yuan Feng nodded slightly.

"Well, although Lu Zhi is a general, he is also a master of Confucianism. He has many outstanding people all over the world. Unlike Huangfu Song, he relies on military merits. This spearhead bird is naturally a must-have for Huangfu Laoer. This old guy is old this year and has no sons under his knees. Naturally, he wants to promote a close general as soon as possible to provide protection for his Huangfu family in the future."

"Brother said it right, that's exactly what it is. My foolish brother refuted, saying that although Liu He made great contributions, he could not both the false festival and the entry into the capital. Your Majesty originally seemed to intend to agree with Huangfu Song's proposal, but after I told the reason, his attitude became obviously hesitant."

Yuan Feng sneered, "Haha, our Majesty is not stupid. He knew that his body was getting weaker and he was afraid that time would be gone. But his sons were still young, so he naturally wanted to find a reliable clan relative to entrust his orphans to avoid losing power and threatening the ancestral temple."

"Brother is right, Yudie also thinks so. If this is true, then Liu He holds a large army and becomes the minister of the orphanage, he will inevitably have power in the court and the people. When I want to fight him again, I am afraid it will be even more difficult, so Yudie decisively opposed it."

"You did a good job. So what after that?"

"Your Majesty asked General He Jin for advice, and He Jin proposed to increase the reward of Liu He, not only to reward him, but also to reward everyone under his tent."

Yuan Feng was a little puzzled: "Well? How can Butcher He have such kindness? Although his He family is not well-off, he is now in power, and his sister Empress He even gave birth to a prince. How could He Jin allow a Liu clan relative to take charge of the government and threaten his nephew's status?"

Yuan Wei smiled: "Of course he could not have such kindness. He Jin did propose to reward Liu He and others all, but the official positions given to them were all in Yanmen, Dingxiang, Yunzhong and other places, and they were all counties bordering Bingzhou, the Xiongnu and Xianbei."

Yuan Feng laughed in silence: "This butcher is quite cunning. In this way, he can block the world's vast mouths and imprison this royal relative in the border. Hehe, this guy is so vicious that we are ashamed of."

"So what? We just made some small moves and let him take the blame for us. Our goal is enough to achieve it. As for who will do this, it has nothing to do with us. No matter how powerful He Jin is, he will never be able to escape the palm of our aristocratic families."

The two brothers looked at each other and looked particularly weird.

But immediately afterwards, Yuan Feng's face suddenly became serious.

"But in a short period of time, the number one enemy of our gentry was still the eunuchs. These rootless thieves encouraged His Majesty to launch the party and imprisonment disaster twice, which greatly damaged our aristocratic family's vitality. If it weren't for this, with our strength, why would we be afraid of just one Liu He and Huangfu Song?"

Yuan Wei smiled and said, "Brother, don't worry, the Chen, Yang, Wang and other families have already discussed it. As today's chaos is still very obvious, although our strength in the court has been greatly affected, the power in various places has been several times or even dozens of times higher than before. As long as the chaos in the world is a little stronger, hehe, then it will be time for our family to truly rise and control the world!"

"Okay! Before that, it is the most urgent thing to destroy Liu He and others who attack us and other local forces."

These two ministers of the Han Dynasty did not shy away from talking about such seemingly ruthless things, but instead showed some joy.

"Brother, do we need to add a fire to this Liu He?"

Upon hearing this, Yuan Feng narrowed his eyes and pondered for a moment.

"Well, I have an idea. He wants to compete with the Xianbei and the Xiongnu in the northern border, so there is something that is naturally extremely important."

The two brothers looked at each other and said in unison: "War Horse!"

Yuan Feng nodded: "No, it's easy to defend the city, but if you really want to expel these nomadic peoples from the Han territory, you must rely on powerful cavalry to do it. If you don't have enough war horses, hum, no matter how amazing Liu He's ability is, it's hard to cook without rice. Even if you can't trap him to the border, it can greatly increase the difficulty of continuing to make contributions. In this way, we will naturally have more opportunities to make profits from it."

"Brother, you have a clever plan! This is not difficult. According to Yudi, the source of Liu He's war horses was not only based on the capture, but mainly the two Malaysian merchants in Jizhou. These two married Guan Yu and Cheng Liang under Liu He's account, which helped his military development. Therefore, to cut off the source of his war horses, you need to start from these two. As long as you find some charges and confiscate the families of these two horse merchants, Liu He will naturally feel like he has a broken arm."

Yuan Feng said, "Well, just two inferior businessmen, just find someone to do it."

"yes!"
