I will be the master of Xuande

Chapter 638: The foolish king deserves to be punished, the lord calms down his anger

Liu Bian felt threatened.

These three representatives of the top ministers and noble families said in front of him that they wanted him to abolish the New Deal. This clearly meant that they wanted to regain the highest rights and interests for all the top noble families in the Han Dynasty and restore everything to the way it was before. Let the way for the advancement of the world's scholars be once again in the hands of the top noble families and nobles, and let the world's resources be allocated and divided again by these top nobles.

All the expenses of the imperial court were borne by the common people at the bottom, Li Shu.

The emperor once again became an important bargaining chip for these top noble families to divide the interests of the world.

Liu Bian really didn't want to agree to this. He even wanted to pick up the inkstone on the desk and smash the three sanctimonious old guys in front of him to death.

Isn't this a joke that these three old bastards took advantage of the crisis and forced me to remove all the items of the New Deal and return everything to the way it was before?
Liu Bian said with a somewhat unhappy look on his face: "At this time, if the already established policies are changed randomly, what kind of reaction will it have? I and my three dear friends don't know... At this time, chaos will happen." Is it appropriate to move the political clause?"

Wang Yun and the others did not give Liu Bian any face.

Then Chun Yujia said immediately: "Your Majesty, this is a critical time for your life and death. Your Majesty's throne is related. Everything should be prioritized, right? Is the change of political regulations more important, or the stability of your Majesty's throne? I want to know what is in your Majesty's heart. It’s most clear!”

"According to my humble opinion, if the decree is not implemented at this time, your Majesty's throne will change hands within six months. At that time, the legacy that the late emperor finally consolidated will be stolen by Liu Deran."

"Even so, does Your Majesty still want to sit back and watch the country fall into the hands of others?"

Wang Yun, who was next to him, said slowly: "Your Majesty, you must know that you are sitting on the mountain of swords. If you take a wrong step, you may be scratched to pieces. At this time, your Majesty, please do not do anything that will make you regret." It’s a choice.”

As soon as he said this, Liu Bian almost fainted from anger.

what is this?This is simply forcing me to have a baby, okay? !

Looking at these three sanctimonious veterans, Liu Bian suddenly understood why his father, Liu Hong, wanted to give himself a reputation as a fun-loving, lewd and immoral man when he was in the emperor's position.

It's not that his father Liu Hong deliberately wanted to be this kind of person, but when you face these top publishers and representatives of famous families, these old foxes can really piss you off!You have to find an outlet to relieve your boredom.

Although Liu Jian now gave him the feeling that he was a stronger threat to the imperial power than these people, Liu Jian was not in front of him.

The humiliation Liu Jian brought to him was all imagined by Liu Bian, and it has not been presented so intuitively yet.

It's not like he's facing these people.

How should I live the next day?

Liu Bian's heart turned over and over again, but in the end he could only sigh helplessly.

"Three beloved ministers, please step aside. Let me think twice about this matter."

"Your Majesty, please make a decision, and I will retire first."

……

Soon, the three major party leaders from prominent families withdrew from Liu Bian's palace.

Three people, you look at me, I look at you, and in the end they all burst into laughter.

Wang Yun stroked his beard and said with satisfaction: "His Majesty is still young today. When the critical moment comes, he still needs to rely on us. If he had known this, why would you have made such a fuss? What did he have to do? The New Deal, as a result, the throne is almost gone."

"It is also good for Liu Deran to win against the rebels at this time. If he doesn't win sooner or later, he won't win later. But he won at this time. Your Majesty is not broad-minded to begin with. Now the balance of the place has been lost. His Majesty is completely leaning towards us."

Chunyu Jia said: "Brother Zi, in your opinion, what are the chances that Your Majesty can lean towards us and abolish all the new policies?"

Wang Yun actually hasn't thought about this matter carefully.

He stroked his beard and stood at the foot of the palace steps, closing his eyes and thinking carefully.

Chunyu Jia did not rush him, but stood quietly aside, waiting for Wang Yun's reply.

When I was young, I heard Wang Yun speak slowly.

"According to my opinion, Your Majesty will hesitate for a while, but after hesitating for a while, Your Majesty will definitely agree."

"Your Majesty also knows it in his heart. This new policy is a means for him to consolidate the imperial power. But under the current circumstances, he is about to lose his throne, so why should he care about consolidating the imperial power?"

"In the eyes of today's emperor, Liu Deran is now his biggest threat."

"A young man cannot see the long term, and people live for themselves."

"It is said that it is for the sake of the Han Dynasty, but our Majesty has not yet realized that."

Yang Biao nodded with satisfaction.

"This is great. Since Dong Zhuo promulgated the New Deal, many high-ranking families in the world have been suppressed by the New Deal and have completely lost their past glory. This includes a few of our families."

"All the famous families in the world are waiting for the day when the New Deal will be abolished, and they are looking forward to it hard."

"Now that we have made it to the top, we still need to inform the local officials and county magistrates who have contact with us about this matter, as well as our direct relatives in various counties and counties, so that they can step up and report it to the Chancellor. It must be done before This matter will be implemented within a short period of time.”

Wang Yun smiled and said: "This is exactly the reason. At this time, the greater the reaction within the court and the local area, the greater the pressure on Your Majesty, and the deeper his fear will be. The sooner this new policy is abolished, for this world The better."

……

……

Wang Yun, Yang Biao, Chun Yujia, these people move very fast.

They used the shortest possible time to contact their local alliances of prominent families, as well as the local county governors and county magistrates under their control, and asked these people to jointly sign a petition at the local level and issue a petition calling for the revocation of the New Deal to the Chancellery through the county-level administrative units. Memorial.

For a time, there was an endless stream of memorials jointly signed by officials from all over the country, piled up on the chancery table like snowflakes.

The officials in the Shangshutai are now subject to the constraints of both the emperor and the ministers, and they do not belong entirely to anyone.

At present, the emperor's power ratio in the Chancery is relatively large, so he has the deepest and most direct sense of the memorials submitted by officials from various places.

The pressure in Emperor Liu Bian's heart can be said to be unprecedentedly high.

Under such persecution, he went to his mother, Queen Mother He, for verification and questioning.

If Lu Qiang were still alive, perhaps he could use other angles to persuade the emperor not to let him change his policies easily, which would only make the situation worse than helpful, and might even cause huge conflicts to intensify.

But it is a pity that Lu Qiang is dead, and no one can say these words to Liu Bian anymore.

And Queen Mother He is just a narrow-minded woman, and her perspective on things may not be as good as Liu Bian's now.

What's more, the idea of ​​asking Liu Bian to win over the noble ministers headed by Wang Yun and Chun Yujia came from the Empress Dowager He.

From this incident alone, we can see the narrow vision of Queen Mother He.

As soon as the Queen Mother heard the memorial on the revocation of the New Deal, she rushed to the Chancellery like crazy and immediately advised Liu Bian to stop the New Deal immediately.

She told Liu Bian that Dong Zhuo was not here now. Only by relying on the help of Wang Yun and others to unite and stabilize the situation in the court would so-called outsiders not seize Liu Bian's imperial power.

As for whether the New Deal is new or not, it doesn't matter anymore. We should abolish the New Deal first, and then wait for the current situation to recover and then bring up the New Deal again, isn't it?
The question is, once the New Deal is repealed, how can it be so easily taken out and implemented again?
Moreover, once Wang Yunchun, Yu Jia and others took control of the power, how could they give Liu Bian and his son this opportunity again?

Queen Mother He would never think of this at all.

She was not in the mood to think about these things at the moment.

So under the instigation of Empress Dowager He and Liu Bian's own lack of control, the mother and son finally decided to abolish the New Deal.

In other words, it is temporarily abolished.

As a result, Liu Bian urgently convened a government meeting to discuss the abolition of the New Deal with ministers.Wang Yun, Yang Biao and others were already prepared for this matter.

They have already formed gangs, prepared a lot of materials, and are always ready to attack the New Deal.

When Liu Bian raised this matter in front of everyone, everyone began to make suggestions.

These people expressed their opinions one after another on the New Deal. They argued with each other for almost half an hour.

Anyway, the bottom line is that all the new policies promulgated by the imperial court are bad policies.

The emperor should abolish the New Deal immediately to prevent the New Deal from continuing to harm the Han Dynasty!

The reason why the Han Dynasty has become like this is all because of the New Deal.

None of this has anything to do with Liu Bian, it is all evil done by the New Deal.

Xun You, Ma Rixi, Liu Biao and others tried their best to defend the New Deal. When they heard Liu Bian said that he wanted to abolish the New Deal, the three of them, as well as a group of officials from the elite under him, stood up to advise Liu Bian and asked His Majesty. Don’t repeal the New Deal.

After Liu Bian heard this, he did not express his position. Instead, a group of officials led by Wang Yun and others stood up to refute the Qingliu group.

The two sides were at each other's throats in the courtroom, and almost got into a fight when you came and went.

Just as the two sides were at war with each other and competing for supremacy, Liu Bian finally made the decision.

"I have decided to follow the advice of all my dear friends, abolish the New Deal and save the fate of the country."

Once these words are spoken, although it is just a simple sentence, it will undoubtedly shake the whole world.

After hearing this, all the courtiers felt panic in their hearts.

Although many people had already predicted this outcome today, when it actually happened, they were still filled with fear.

Especially Xun You, Liu Biao, Ma Rixi and others did not dare to neglect when they heard the emperor's order to abolish the New Deal.

They all knelt down and begged the emperor to take back his life.

But there is no doubt that Liu Bian will not agree to them.

Liu Bian still insisted on promulgating the decree to abolish the New Deal.No matter how much Qingliu, led by Xun You and others, objected, he would never go back on his word.

……

……

The Shangshutai worked very quickly this time. Liu Bian only announced the edict to repeal the New Deal in the morning. By the afternoon, all the government offices and people in Chang'an probably knew about it.

Within three days, almost no one in the entire Yongzhou area knew about it. Unless some old farmers in particularly remote villages did not know much about the New Deal, people in other major counties were communicating with each other about this. a message.

The edict to abolish the New Deal quickly spread from the Chancellery to all states, counties, and counties, strictly ordering various places to restore the old system and temporarily shelving the New Deal.

All counties and counties that have started to implement the New Deal have stopped it, while those that have not implemented the New Deal will remain the same and implement the old system.

Ma Rixi, Liu Biao and others were unwilling to give in. They went to the palace for several days to plead with the emperor, but their pleas were in vain. The emperor's attitude was very resolute.

Wang Yun and Yang Biao took advantage of this momentum to quickly stop all the new policies that were being implemented in Yongzhou, and then sent the edict to all counties in the Han Dynasty as quickly as possible.

At the same time, they also joined forces with Wangdu Clan Yue, who wore the same trousers with them in the local area, and began to use the public opinion offensive that they, the prominent clans, best used, to smear Liu Jian and the New Deal.

They attributed the rebellions and wars in Sizhou, Guanzhong and the Central Plains to the New Deal, and put Dong Zhuo and Liu Jian, who had thoroughly implemented the New Deal, into opposition to the imperial court.

According to the content of public opinion, the emperor was bewitched by these two people and implemented the New Deal. Now that the world is in chaos, these two people should bear the main responsibility...

After Xun You and others tried to persuade the emperor to no avail, and then looked at the vigorous and vigorous methods used by the court to abolish the New Deal, they probably understood in their hearts that this was probably an established rule that the emperor and the Gongqing group had already formulated.

After Xun You figured this out, he didn't dare to hesitate. He hurriedly wrote a letter secretly, sent his confidants to quietly lurk out of Chang'an, and went to Liu Jian's camp in Sizhou at starry night to inform him of what happened here.

In fact, there was no need for Xun You to send someone to notify him. With the ability of the Academy Office, it was very easy for Liu Jian to detect the intelligence of the imperial court as soon as possible and pass the news back to Liu Jian.

When it comes to the ability to detect intelligence, the school affairs office can be said to be the best in the world.

At this time, Liu Jian had already arrived in Luoyang City. When Li Xiang rebelled, the new local governor of Luoyang had already been killed in the battle with the rebels, and the wealthy households around Luoyang also secretly After escaping or being attacked and killed by the rebels, Luoyang showed a look of decadence.

However, this situation did not last long. Now, Liu Jian came and wiped out Li Xiangjun and restored stability in Luoyang. After knowing the news, the wealthy households around Luoyang also had the courage to return to their former residence. Luoyang is now Although Yang was not as prosperous as before, the scale of its large city was still maintained.

Liu Jian temporarily used Luoyang City as his stronghold, stationed troops here, and began to rectify the government affairs of Sizhou with Luoyang City as the political center.

But soon, the news that Chang'an had abolished the New Deal reached Liu Jian's ears.

Liu Jian, Jia Xu and Xun Yu were somewhat prepared for Liu Bian's abolition of the New Deal, but at that time Liu Jian still felt that Liu Bian was not a particularly willful person.

He feels that today we can still have some foresight.

Although he is currently in a subtle opposition with the emperor, Liu Jian feels that for the sake of this country and the Han Dynasty, his and the emperor's goals are at least consistent.

Therefore, Liu Jian still had a glimmer of hope in his heart at the time, feeling that Liu Bian would not take this step at the last moment and use the fate of the nation to please the so-called noble families and elites to maintain his own status.

He felt that Liu Bian should have at least to some extent a bit of backbone like the late Emperor Liu Hong.

But it is a pity that Liu Bian disappointed him.

At this point, Liu Bian did not have the backbone of the late emperor Liu Hong. On the contrary, he had many vulgarities in his character, just like his mother, the Queen Mother He.

It is precisely because of this that led to today's situation.

In the main hall of Luoyang, Liu Jian occupied the main position, wearing heavy armor. Looking at the slips in his hands, his eyes narrowed slightly and his hands began to tremble a little.

Immediately afterwards, Liu Jian stood up slowly, tore the slips in front of him into several pieces, and finally threw them into the air.

Then he saw the slippery slip falling to the ground with a crisp sound.

"The foolish king shall be punished!"

Liu Jian's voice was not loud, but his voice was filled with endless killing intent.

He said this coldly.

"The general calm down!"

"The general calm down!"

"General, please calm down!"

These people present were all veteran generals who had followed Liu Jian in many battles, but they had never seen Liu Jian's performance today.

Especially when Liu Jian said the four words "The foolish king shall be punished", everyone's hearts were greatly shocked.

The lord is really angry this time!

"My lord, calm down!"

"My lord, calm down!"
