Chapter 644 Yang Mansion Night Party

Yu Jin stood up and said, "Since that's the case, I wonder what the lord and all the military advisors have? But I need to use the last general, and the last general goes through fire and water, and I will not refuse."

Cao Cao smiled and said, "Okay, literary talent is extraordinary, and he is really a good general."

After several generals' remarks, Cao Cao's mood also improved significantly.

His brows stretched, no longer sitting upright as before, but leaned forward and supported his elbows on the table.

"There is only more than a month before the autumn harvest. When Liu He's edict arrives, how will we deal with it? I have no clue at all. Please express your opinions."

Everyone was a little silent. After a long time, Cheng Yu walked out, cheering Cao Cao up.

"Lord, my subordinates think that it is meaningless to discuss the edict that Liu He will send soon. Liu He once said that he would take over Yuzhou in a year. Even if we have a good plan, we can make the lord not go to Luoyang, or if we can escape after going there, it is useless. After one year, Liu He came to ask for Yuzhou, but will we not give it to me?"

Cao Cao also fell into deep thought after his statement.

"Well... what Zhongde said was indeed Cao did not expect. It seemed that he could not escape this disaster no matter what."

“This is not the case.”

Cheng Yu's words made Cao Cao's eyes suddenly shine.

"How do you say this?"

Cheng Yu took a step forward involuntarily: "Liu He has a huge power, Taiping Road rebels, Taihang Mountain bandits, Dong Zhuo, Yuan Shao and others, who are not heroes of the world, and they are terrifying to the world. If you can meet Liu He, you will be left alone. In the past, his strength was not at its peak, and it is still like this. Now he is in power for a generation from Sili to Hebei, and the Han Dynasty has one of the four. If he is clearly an enemy of him, his troops will be everywhere, I am afraid that no one will be spared."

"Oh, wouldn't your words be more ambitious and more powerful than others? Do you want me to surrender?"

Xiahou Dun shouted in dissatisfaction.

Cao Cao shouted, "Shut up and listen to the teacher."

Cheng Yu continued: "Because of this, our army must not be enemies head-on until we are confident enough. However, the Japanese Wenhe plan made Liu He busy dealing with Yuan Shao. Although he had a short chess game later, at least he let the lord seize Yuzhou. Why not use the same trick again now?"

"I couldn't completely hide the plan from Liu He last time. Now that I'm using the same trick again, I'm afraid it may not work."

Xi Zhong said doubtful.

Cheng Yu looked confident: "There is no need to worry about whether this plan is seen through by him. Even if he sees it through, he may not be able to do anything to me."

"Oh? Such a clever plan, Zhongde quickly said." Cao Cao urged.

"There is only one Luoyang court in the world. In terms of legal principles, we should obey our orders, otherwise we will be rebellious ministers, and Liu He also has enough strength to attack our princes. But what if there is more than one court in the world..."

In Luoyang City, the Taiwei Mansion was late at night, and Yang Biao's study was still brightly lit.

About half of the ministers in the court gathered here, Yang Biao sat upright in the main seat, half-closed his eyes and did not speak.

Many ministers looked at me and looked at you. Seeing that Yang Biao did not express his opinion, they didn't know what to say for a moment.

After being silent for a long time, Du Ji couldn't help it.

"Taiwei, you and Yuan are the leaders of the gentry in the world. At that time, you parted ways with Yuan and supported Liu He wholeheartedly, while Yuan established his own family and watched the magical tools. Now it has proved that the Taiwei's vision is so accurate. The Yuan family has fallen, Yang has risen, commanding the scholars in the sea, and working together to contribute to the new dynasty. This is a situation that people like to see. We have already prepared and devoted ourselves to assisting the new lord. But now that His Majesty has made such a move, we really don't understand."

"Yes, we all rely on you to take charge of the overall situation. You have to say something."

"Mr. Yang, you must come forward to this matter. You cannot pretend to be deaf and dumb."

Everyone's voices were more anxious than the other. Yang Biao didn't know if he really listened to it or was clamored by them, so he opened his eyes.

"Administrative of the overall situation? What is the overall situation? Your Majesty is great and powerful, everything in the new dynasty is renewed, the heroes are left behind, and the world is back to one, just around the corner. We will be the ministers of the Han Dynasty's revival, and will shine in history and shine for thousands of years. How can we express our opinions if we have such a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity?"

“Hey, this…”

When many ministers heard this, they were all stunned.

Zhong Yao thought about it and seemed to have some understanding: "Duke Yang, we know about this section. Since we chose to fully support Your Majesty now and now we have created such a situation, we are very happy. However, what we hope is that Your Majesty will rely on the gentry to assist in the government, and under your leadership of Duke Yang, we will assist the world, govern the world, and hold power."

"But now that Your Majesty suddenly resets the Shangshu Order, the Censor General, clearly intends to take charge of the government alone, which is probably not a good sign."

Yang Biao glanced at him coldly: "What is a good omen? Is Your Majesty's incompetence or the two Xuns's unvirtuous? Your Majesty's appointment of wise men, what's wrong with you? Besides, whether Xun, Cui and other families are also fellow members of our gentry, how can you say something bad? Be cautious when speaking, you are a court magistrate and in charge of the law, so why can you not even practice this kind of mentality?"

Zhong Yao was choked with a choking voice.

"Don't blame Yuan Chang, Mr. Yang, as his concerns may not be unreasonable."

Wang Qian said: "The Xun family has been keeping a low profile since the party and corruption disaster for many years. Now it has accumulated a lot of strength. The three sons of Xun family are important officials, especially Xun Yu and Xun You, uncles and nephews, have to take charge of the court. Wouldn't this make the Xun family the dominant? It's not that we want to fight for power and throne, but that's just such an arrangement, it's really a disaster and a blessing for the country. Even if Your Majesty appointed those two as the nine ministers, I will never say anything. It's just that the Shangshu Ling and the Censor General are equivalent to the two prime ministers. Such important positions are equal to those of the left and right, and the uncles and nephews of the same clan will inevitably lead to the danger of Xun's decision to resolutely decide the court."

Du Ji continued: "If the Taiwei is worried about Wang Situ and Cui Sikong's attitude, we are willing to go and talk about it. Although Wang Situ's adopted daughter was adopted as Zhaoyi, there is no need to say about Cui Sikong. His son Cui Jun was so honorable that he was even more favored than Xun. But after all, they are also colleagues of our gentry. As long as they understand the righteousness, they will definitely be able to persuade Your Majesty with us to correct the gains and losses."

Yang Biao frowned: "Change the gains and losses? Not to mention the king, the second Duke of Cui, even Huangfu, Zhu, Lu, Cai and other Dukes, they must be in the same mind as Your Majesty. You just want to persuade Your Majesty? Besides, Your Majesty has never made any mistakes, so why do you need to correct it? Add to extravagance and do this. I advise you to wait for the court to be at ease, don't make any trouble, otherwise you will cause trouble. Don't say that I have not reminded you."

"Mr. Yang, how can you..."

"What's wrong with me?" Yang Biao looked at them coldly.

"You just want to say that Your Majesty's move actually distributes the power of our three ministers to your confidants. Why are we all not anxious? But this is the reason why I, Situ and Sikong, are you anxious? Why are you anxious? The gentry, who chooses to cooperate with Your Majesty for temporary authority? We are short-sighted and cannot talk to each other."

Yang Biao's words made everyone realize it.

Wang Qian asked: "The Taiwei means that as long as Your Majesty still values ​​you and me and promotes our family's children, even if the Xun family respects it for a while, the world's general trend is just like the water is invincible. Today is Xun family, who knows which family will be tomorrow?"

"Not bad. The talents of Xun Yu and Xun You are indeed the best in the world. Young people are terrifying. Even if they are our elders, they are not as good as those of us. Your Majesty has great plans and it is natural to use them. As long as Your Majesty can rely more on the power of the gentry, we will be able to educate our children when we go back and teach them well. In the future, we will not be able to reach the top of the Tower Pavilion."

Everyone seemed to understand it instantly.

"Since you have figured it out, then go back and rest early. Now that the new dynasty is inaugurated, the government is busy, and if you have the time to talk here, it is better to share the worries of the court and make great achievements, then you will have the capital to speak in the court, otherwise everything will be over."

Although Yang Biao's words were obviously expelling guests, all the ministers were smiling.

"What the Taiwei said is reasonable. In the middle of the night, we were bothering each other, so let's say goodbye."

The ministers left together, and soon, only Yang Biao was left in the study, and a young man about eighteen or nineteen years old was left beside him.

The young man looked at the minister outside, walked over and closed the door of the study, turned around and looked at Yang Biao.

"Father, the emperor's actions are clearly about to kill the donkey. Are you really not in a hurry?"

"What nonsense!" Yang Biao shouted.

"What can you say about killing a donkey? Is this kind of thing possible? Xiu'er, if you don't correct your nature, sooner or later, you will cause trouble to my Yang family."

Yang Xiu curled his lips and looked dissatisfied: "The child thought that his father felt that his Majesty is now authoritative and inconvenient to fight against him, so he endured it for a while. My Yang family was born and old officials all over the world. As long as there are scholars in the world support one day, he can rest assured all day. Even Your Majesty has to rely on my Yang family's power to regain power. But sooner or later, why bother head-on with Your Majesty? Wouldn't that be worth the loss? Isn't it right for the child?"

Yang Biao stood up directly, his face turned a little dark.

"Children with yellow mouth, don't talk nonsense."

After saying that, he shook his sleeves and walked out of the study.

Yang Xiu looked at his father's back and grinned: "If my father really thinks I'm messing around, why should I call me to listen when I know the ministers are coming to visit? And why didn't my father directly refute it when Du Bohou gave the memorial, and wait until all the ministers come out and His Majesty express his opinion, then my father stood up? Hehe, this little thought can be hidden from the ministers, but I can't hide it from me."

He walked out of the study with a smug expression.
