Chapter 26: Three Gongs and Nine Qings submit a petition to honor the emperor

Although Wang Yun is a little old, his voice is particularly loud today.

"I have a memorial to present."

After saying that, Wang Yun took out a memorial from his sleeve and presented it with both hands. Seeing this, Chen Xi stepped forward to take it.

When walking back, I don't know why, but a very thin memorial sheet felt very heavy in my hands, as if all the ministers' eyes fell on it, and it felt heavy.

Ma Rixi looked at Chen Xi with an uncertain expression. Liu Xie also noticed the strange mood of the officials. He seemed to have thought of something. He looked at Liu Qing and thought: Is this the day?

Liu Qing frowned slightly at this moment, realizing that things were not simple.

Wang Yun and Yang Biao, two old boys, were so diligent in secret work. Could it be that they had invented this?

The table was presented to Liu Xie, who unfolded it carefully, his little hands trembling slightly.

The first thing that catches the eye is a long list of names:

"Situ Chenyun, Taiwei Chenbiao, Yushi Dafu Chenzun, Guanglu Dafu Chenzhong, Dasi Nongchensong, Taipu Chenjun..."

The three ministers and nine ministers are almost complete, except for Liu Qing's people, such as Sikong Tianfeng.

Was this Liu Qing's intention? Liu Xie didn't know, he only knew that the memorial in his hand was indeed of great weight.

Liu Xie is already at the age of a governor, and he has a general understanding of the deeds of the past emperors. The nobles, eunuchs, and relatives took turns to monopolize power. They could establish whoever they wanted and abolish whoever they wanted. When such a group of ministers with the highest official positions united When the memorial was presented, the emperor basically, or in other words, could only rely on it.

It is full of formality, the emperor is obedient and his ministers are respectful. It must be said that it is very ironic.

Liu Xie continued to look down and found that the events described in the memorial basically happened after the death of Emperor Ling.

"When the chariot hub is changed, the disaster is caused by eunuchs. How can Yuan Yuan take advantage of the provocation and override the rules of the court? The evil of the two thieves is worse than watering the grass..."

"The emperor was robbed and moved to the province, the palaces and temples were set on fire, and the Kyushu was divided, powerful enemies and tigers fought, the barbarians and barbarians were in chaos, and vipers blocked the roads..."

Liu Xie sighed softly and felt depressed. He already knew what to write next without even reading it.

When the Han Dynasty was in danger of internal and external troubles, who stood up to help the building collapse and save the people from the fire and water?

"Fortunately, the young master has good luck and good moral character, he has been vigorous in his martial arts, and the barbarians have been violent. He has been able to pacify the Xia Dynasty and help the Han Dynasty..."

Even though Liu Xie secretly exerted his strength, his hands began to tremble uncontrollably. Even though he had been prepared in his heart, when this moment came, it was still difficult to accept it.

If Liu Qing forced him to abdicate, he might feel better. But now that Liu Qing has not taken any action, these ministers who claim to be loyal ministers and good generals can't help themselves and want to impose honorary titles on Liu Qing.

What a large group of "loyal ministers".

"Wang Yun, you are so brave." Liu Xie cursed. He was clearly shouting in his heart, but when he came to his mouth, it was a murmur, inaudible, more like a sigh of his own.

Although it was weak, Liu Qing at the front could hear it clearly.

Ma Rixi looked at Liu Xie, who had a strange look on his face, and guessed it in his mind. He had wrinkles all over his face, and stared at Wang Yun and Yang Biao, the two instigators, fiercely. Even though he cursed in his heart, the majestic court , he could only glare.

"Wang Situ, Lieutenant Yang, Your Majesty said, you are so brave!"

A loud shout suddenly sounded in the field, which shocked Wang Yun and Yang Biao. Even Liu Xie was frightened.

There was a sudden silence in the court hall. Liu Qing took two steps forward, walked to the front of the palace, faced the ministers, and said leisurely: "I know what you are thinking. During this period, people in Luoyang City have been floating, and rumors are flying everywhere. Some people say that I want to replace Your Majesty, haha..."

Liu Qing smiled contemptuously and turned to ask the ministers: "I wonder which of my king's actions made you think that I have this intention?"

All the officials looked at each other, a little confused.

Ignoring His Majesty, monopolizing the political agenda, tampering with the official system, nepotism...the list goes on and on.

Aren't these enough?

When asked by Liu Qing, the ministers became less confident.

Coming.

If it is said that Liu Qing really made any transcendence, it is really difficult to find evidence. But if it is said that he did not, all the three-year-old children in Luoyang City know that Liu Qing will take over sooner or later.

But when Liu Qing suddenly went to court like this, the officials were unable to refute. Even if they could refute, they were not stupid.

"If you don't speak, then you don't have anything?" Liu Qing said with a smile, his voice softened a lot, "I, like all of you, are good and loyal ministers who fulfill their duties. As an official, you should set an example for the people and lead the people. Don't listen casually.

Rumors, falsely accusing the king of my innocence, let this matter rest. If nothing happens, please your Majesty to withdraw from the court."

Liu Qing turned around, cupped his hands, and said to Liu Xie.

"Retreat...retreat from the court." Liu Xie reacted and quickly walked down the steps given by Liu Qing.

"Retreat from the court—"

With Chen Xi's scream, today's morning session came to an end.

Hundreds of officials were waiting to be appointed, and Liu Qing was the first to leave.

After Liu Qing left, the dull crowd suddenly exploded, and the voices of discussion were noisy and chaotic, including many of Liu Qing's staff.

Cui Yan stroked his beard seriously, and asked Xun You as he walked, "Your Majesty's actions today seem... a bit... hard to describe."

Cui Yan hesitated and found that he couldn't find the right expression.

However, Xun You knew what Cui Yan wanted to ask, and with a thoughtful look on his face, he replied: "My lord is eager to clear up the relationship, because he wants to follow the example of the ancient sages and give in. If he uses too much force, he is afraid that he will conceal it."

Xun You shook his head and said.

"But Wang Yun and Yang Biao are not arranged by the master, so why should you use excessive force?"

"These two people have long been my lord's people, but they are not always by my lord's side like me, and-"

As the court said, Wang Yun and Yang Biao had been warned a long time ago, why did the court come out today?"

Cui Yan paused and replied: "Gongda is wrong. If the lord doesn't stop it in advance, he can use this to express his feelings in the court. It can block Youyou's mouth and clarify the rumors. It kills two birds with one stone. This is exactly

The master’s brilliance!”

Xun You smiled bitterly and said without any excuse, "Maybe."

Cui Yanren was upright in body and mind, devoted to practical matters, and worked hard almost every day. He could be said to be Xun Yu's strongest lieutenant. Because of this, he did not know many things about his lord.

Unlike Xun You, as a lieutenant of the Sili School and responsible for the duties of an inspector, Xun You basically could not escape from what the officials in the capital were doing, including those under Liu Qing's command. For example, Tian Feng secretly accepted Dai Yong into Luo County.

Yang, almost no one knows, but he does.

In Cui Yan's heart, Liu Qing's public spirit was far greater than his ambition.

This has always been the case, but now...

It’s not that ambition is greater than public spirit, but that ambition is big enough.

They are members of the Han clan, and their selfishness is also public. What Xunshi wants to choose is not the distinction between public and private, but what is beneficial to the Han Dynasty!
