"Situ Wang Yun, the title of Grand Tutor."
"Sikong Cui Lie will be awarded the title of Grand Tutor."
Within a few days, the court issued edicts of appointment and dismissal.
In addition to these people, there are many ministers who chose to support Liu He this time. Although they did not increase their positions, many of their nephews and younger generations were able to become officials or be promoted to the next level.
The incident that Wang Chen in the hall that Wang Chen testified that Feng Fang and others colluded and framed Dafeng with his own grandson's life was not false, but it was not obtained by his investigation, but Liu He ordered the Feiying Guard to secretly investigate and find out.
Liu He handed all the evidence to the court guard Zhong Yao. With these certificates, and Zhong Yao had already surrendered to Liu He, he was deliberating and convicting, so it was very fast. Within ten days, Feng Fang and others were charged.
Ministers in the court, Feng Fang and Zhao Rong, were beheaded in half, Cao Ling, Guo Fang and others were beheaded, and dozens of other ministers were stripped of their official positions and titles, and their families were confiscated to exterminate their clans.
All their official positions have been handed over by Liu He to others. Now, the Sili area and the counties and cities in various states are almost occupied by Liu He's own confidants. The court, which had just experienced a major change, has settled again in a very short period of time.
In Xun You's mansion, a group of people were packing their bags.
Xun You was renamed as the prefect of Yingchuan, so naturally he could not continue to stay in Luoyang, but had to rush to Yingchuan County as soon as possible to take up his post.
"You clean the mansion in order, don't mess it up. In the future, when Your Majesty gives this mansion to others, it will save you some trouble."
His voice was extremely soft. Although these words were commands, they sounded like spring breeze in the ears of many servants.
A young woman dressed up next to her was full of resentment while tidying up her clothes.
"Your Majesty is really... Your Majesty has clearly made contributions to the court this time, so why should he treat you like this?"
Xun You frowned and then smiled and said, "Madam, don't talk nonsense. The Chief Censor only has 600 stones, but the Prefect is rank equal to 2,000 stones. Your Majesty has promoted me three levels in a row. Moreover, Yingchuan is the foundation of my Xun family. Such a beautiful person is unsuccessful."
His wife glanced at him: "You still say that although the position of the Censor General is low, everyone in the court knows that he is low and has a weight. Originally, Xun Yu clan uncle, Cui Jun, and husband, you three are almost in charge of the government affairs. Now that Your Majesty has released you and Cui Zhengwei, this is clearly..."
Xun You hurriedly interrupted her: "Don't talk nonsense. Your Majesty's saints and wisdom are worshipped by everyone in the wild. How dare you interrupt the affairs of the government? Get your clothes quickly and I'll set off as soon as possible."
After saying that, he turned around and went out, came to the yard, looking at the roofs of the palaces not far from the yard wall, and the sharp corners of the pavilions, but smiled on his face.
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty... This behavior seems to be about the rise and fall of the minister and Zhouping. But your Majesty uses his intentions, others don't know. I have served the lord for many years, but how can I not know? I, Xun You, have met such a lord, and this life is enough..."
After many days of busyness, the court finally became completely stable. Many ministers also went to the new office to start governing the government. On this day, the first snowfall in Luoyang City finally came.
After the morning court, Liu He took a break from his busy schedule and handed over the government affairs to Xun Yu and Qian Li. Their current political attributes have reached 96 and 93 respectively, and they are simply easy to handle government affairs.
Taking advantage of this little free time, Liu He called Zhang Yu, Diao Chan, and several princes and princesses to the palace of the Empress Dowager Xu. The family was like ordinary people, eating snacks, chatting about leisure, and teasing the children. They were full of joy. Xu was extremely happy and comforted Lao Huai, so happy that he couldn't even close his mouth.
Xu teased his granddaughter Liu Qian for a while, and Liu Qian suddenly cried. Zhang Yu hurriedly asked the wet nurse to carry it down and fed it milk. At this time, Diao Chan's eyes moved and she hugged Liu Tai. Liu Shu came to Xu's side.
In short, although Xu is the queen mother, she is only in her forties now. Besides, she is in a comfortable mood over the years and is well maintained. She looks like a woman in her thirties, and her wrinkles on her face are not visible.
But seeing her family full of children and grandchildren, everyone was so adorable, Xu laughed so much that the wrinkles at the corners of her eyes became more and more obvious.
Xu and Liu He were having fun with a group of children, so Zhang Yu took Diao Chan and a few palace maids to cook in person and prepare lunch.
Originally, there was no kitchen in the empress dowager's bedroom, and all the food was served from the imperial kitchen. However, Xu had been a rural village woman for half her life and suddenly became the empress dowager. She was still very uncomfortable. After mentioning it to Liu He many times, Liu He had no choice but to open a vegetable garden in the palace and set up a kitchen. Xu's daily life was more and more comfortable.
After the brocade she woven and the embroidered patterns were sorted out by Zhang Yu, she asked the people from the Zhen Silk Festival to come and make a lot of profits. Liu He often joked that he was the emperor, but he still wanted his mother and wife to work and make money and support himself, which was also a great miracle in ancient and modern times.
Not long after, Zhang Yu personally called him and his mother and son for dinner, and Liu He then helped Xu and returned to the hall.
Just as he was about to turn on his chopsticks, Zhang Yu's sharp eyes shone at Liu He: "Your Majesty, I'm here."
Liu He followed her gaze and looked out of the hall. Sure enough, Qian Lizheng stood respectfully outside the hall gate.
"Oh? You're so accurate. Your nose is really good. Yu'er's craftsmanship has just been made. Come and have a meal together."
Xu also smiled and said, "Yes, Li'er and Yun Chang and others are like my child, there is no need to be polite. Come on, come here quickly. By the way, are your father and mother okay? This time He'er finally transferred you back to the capital. Have you brought them together? In short, I haven't seen each other for three years."
Qian Li did not obey the order and just replied outside the hall: "Report to the Empress Dowager, his father and mother, now the city is peaceful. The minister has just come to Luoyang and has not yet settled, so he has not brought them here. He agreed to wait for the New Year to take them together for the New Year, and then he will take them into the palace to pay tribute to the Empress Dowager."
"Okay, okay. The old brothers and sisters from Langdiao County back then are becoming increasingly rare to see each other."
Seeing Qian Li's appearance, Liu He felt a little moved and said to Xu: "Dao Zhun is still so humble and polite. Please use it first, and the child will come when he goes."
He got up and walked out of the hall, took Qian Li to a corner of the courtyard.
"But what urgent report?"
Qian Li said: "Your Majesty is wise, General Guan and others are ordered to attack Yizhou by Wudu County. Their cavalry marching is very fast. After the rebel Liu Yan received the news, he sent Zhang Ren to block it. The road in Shuzhong was difficult. Zhang Ren rushed to the road, and it was not as good as when he arrived at the front line. The two generals Guan and Zhao had already taken down the two cities of Anyang and Mianyang, and the troops were directly aimed at Hanzhong."
"Okay, my second brother and Zilong really do not disappoint me." Liu He was very surprised.
"I guess the leader of the Five Dogs of Rice Sect in Hanzhong has sent an urgent report to Chengdu for help, right?"
Qian Li nodded and said, "Yes. Zhang Lu was in Hanzhong, and he originally had 20,000 troops. Half a year ago, Liu Yan added 20,000 troops to prevent the Liangzhou offensive. Now, the two generals Zhao, led 30,000 cavalry into Sichuan, and there were 70,000 infantry behind him, and General Ye Xiang's 20,000 Shenji Camp rushed to help. Zhang Lu was frightened and knew it was difficult to resist, so he naturally wanted to ask Chengdu for help. According to General Guan's reply, Liu Yan had sent an envoy to Nanyang to see Cao Cao."
Liu He laughed happily: "Miaoji, this old thief Liu Yan is really obedient. He has indeed followed our army's plan step by step. He sent an order to his second brother and ordered him and Yuanqing, Zilong and others to step up the offensive. However, the middle of winter is approaching and the weather is getting colder. It is not easy to force the attack on Hanzhong, but this formation is enough. There is no need to act seriously, just scare and scare the Master Zhang."
"According to the order, I will go and draft the order."
Qian Li was about to leave, but Liu He suddenly called him again: "Slow down. In this great victory in Youzhou, there are more than 10,000 newly seized high-quality furs. You went to get five thousand and sent them to the front line with the imperial edict. You asked Yun Chang and the others to reward the meritorious soldiers to keep the cold."
"Abide by the order."
Qian Li bowed and retreated.
