Three Kingdoms

  Chapter 722 Someone is doing something

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

For these officials in Chang'an, the Grand Court Meeting on the first and fifteenth day of each month is a rare time to show their faces to the two big bosses, so each of them tries to show their rigorous and conscientious side as much as possible, Trying to make a good impression in front of the boss...

But it is a pity that from ancient times to the present, bigwigs often cannot remember the so-called decent image of a thousand people, but those negative bigwigs are impressed, but it is a pity that no one dares to do that on purpose Make a fool of yourself.

Ever since Wang Yun became the regent of the government, basically Wang Yun has the final say on major and minor matters. Of course, some people are dissatisfied with this approach, but Yang has never taken the initiative to provoke disputes in the court, so No one else dared to stand up.

  But today's atmosphere is a little weird.

  Yang Biao looked at his nose, his nose and his mouth. He seemed to have lost his mind and ignored the mundane world. On the contrary, some people standing behind Yang Biao were eyeing each other, as if they were silently planning something.

  Wang Yun was always the last official to appear on the stage. When he arrived, it was almost time to line up to enter the hall.

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

   "Hundreds of officials enter!" Seeing that Wang Yun was already in place, the ceremony officer in front of the hall raised his neck and yelled, and the resonant voice opened the prelude to today's court meeting.

   "Your Majesty is here!" Liu Xie waited for all the officials to take their positions, and then appeared on the stage.

  In the main hall of Weiyang Palace, near the two sides of the emperor's steps are the seats of the Sangong, and then the Jiuqing. As for other personnel, they are ranked according to the size of their official positions.

  The Sangong and Jiuqing have separate seats, while other officials need to sit together, and even the younger ones can only sit in nonvoting positions—that is, stand and listen.

   "Play early if there is something to do, and retreat to the court if there is nothing to do!"

Of course, this sentence is a routine matter, and it is impossible to have nothing to say at a big court meeting anyway, so as soon as the words fell, someone stood up and said: "The price of grain in Kyoto is worth a thousand dollars, and the road is ruined." Mu, now the spring plowing is about to start, the warehouse is empty, and there is no grain to grow, I can't help but panic, I implore your majesty to adjust the grain in Shandong, one is to calm the grain price, and the other is for planting, this is an urgent matter, I hope your majesty will make a decision as soon as possible .”

   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 themselves...

  Wang Yun's face changed slightly, and he glanced at the upright official from the corner of his eyes slightly.

  Is this matter important?

certainly.

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

   But, is this problem just discovered now?

  Of course not.

   Yet this question is being asked now...

The first month is the beginning of a year. Often at this point in time, we always say some auspicious words, the outlook for the new year and so on. Even if we talk about it, we will pay attention to some strategies. Just say it?

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

  However, Wang Yun couldn’t come out and accuse this official of being wrong. One is that Wang Yun personally went to the court to criticize an official of this level as disrespectful. The other is that this kind of topic of worrying about the country and the people is not something that can be easily opposed...

  However, it is impossible not to object.

   Adjust the grain and grass in Shandong?

   Are the grains and grass or soldiers from Shandong transferred here?

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

At that time, when Dong Zhuo died and how to deal with Xiliang and other soldiers, someone suggested: "Liangzhou people are always afraid of the Yuan family and fear the Guandong. If the troops are disbanded today, everyone will be in danger. Huangfu can be honest. As a general, he led his people, because he was sent to stay in Shaanxi to appease him, and Xu conspired with the Guandong to observe the changes."

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

  Can Wang Yun control Huangfu Yizhen?

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

  The answer is very simple and obvious, so it is naturally impossible for Wang Yun to let Huangfusong really take charge of Xiliang soldiers, and Xiliang soldiers are nothing in Wang Yun's concept.

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

   Isn't it just like Niu Fu, who will die in the end?

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

  It’s like today, the person in Shangzuo didn’t say hello to Wang Yun at all, so Shi Shiran came out…

   "Your Majesty, the old minister has ordered the transfer of food for the three assistants, and it will arrive soon." Wang Yun said slowly, and then glanced at Yang Biao slightly.

   Liu Xie continued to remain silent.

  A Lang official from Shang Shuling stood up, cupped his hands and said: "Your Majesty, in the past, Zhong Lang Fei, who protected the Xiongnu, had outstanding military exploits. He first quelled Baibo, then settled Xianbei, and now he is pacifying Xiliang's rebellious soldiers. He has made great contributions to the country and should be rewarded."

Wang Yun quickly said: "This is a great word! In the past, Zhonglang, the protector of Xiong, marched into the county in the spring, and received his achievements in the winter. The movement of the army is unpredictable, and the strategy is no longer counted. In the north, attacking the fortifications is like breaking down, and destroying the enemy is like soup and snow. , Yi Baibo's suffering, resisting Xianbei's attack, and pacifying Xiliang's rebellion, they have made great achievements, and they should be added to Dingyang Tinghou to encourage them."

   "Dingyang Tinghou?" Liu Xie repeated in a low voice.

In fact, the rule that non-military merits are not allowed to be a marquis was gradually broken during the period of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty. Later, it became more and more chaotic. During the time of Emperor Han Ling, various official titles were even sold openly. Although titles were not as rampant as official titles, But it's also pretty cheap...

   But strictly speaking, there is no big problem with Feng Feiqian as a Tinghou. After all, Feiqian's feats are all real military exploits.

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

However, as soon as Wang Yun's words fell, someone stood up: "Moths are chaotic, disturbing all directions of the country. Anyone who eats public money should share the responsibility. To calm down Baibo is the responsibility of protecting the soil and guarding the domain. How can there be a chance to fight without the guards of Hedong County guarding Xiangling? The two previous achievements have been rewarded, how can they be rewarded generously now? Protecting the Xiong Zhonglang is responsible for guarding the north. It is his duty to resist the Hu people going south. How can you be rewarded for your position? Doesn’t everyone in the world have merit? Xiliang’s rebellion, Dong’s bandit is dead, why should we be afraid of it? Xiliang’s disciples, fearing the power of the court, fled in fear of the wind, how can they claim credit for it?”

   In a word, these things that Fei Qian did were either rewarded before or belonged to his job, so how can they be credited?

  Especially some of the words related to Xiliang soldiers are exactly what Wang Yun said before.

   The four great classics are unreliable:

   Red Chamber: (relatives are unreliable)

   Journey to the West: (Immortals are unreliable)

   Three Kingdoms: (comrades are unreliable)

   Water Margin: (The boss is unreliable)
