People in the Eastern Han Dynasty, Hu and Han respected together

Chapter 265 Conquering Yang Xiu
In fact, Li Yao still felt that it was a pity that Song Yi hit the pillar and died, but Wang Hong was still alive.

Li Yao could still do some writing, looked at Wang Hong and said sharply:
"Shut up, Song Yi is a capable minister of the country, a good minister, loyal to the emperor and serving the country wholeheartedly. He saved the people of Sanfu from the suffering of the war, unlike you, a villain who actually tried to rebel..."

Speaking of this, Li Yao looked at the rest of the officials, this Wang Hong couldn't stay anymore, so use him as an example:
"The car splits the body, and the whole family is exterminated!"

As soon as these words came out, the scene suddenly became silent. This is considered to have learned Li Yao's methods. Although he looked very young, he did not show any mercy when it was time to kill.

Only Wang Hong, hearing his end, was stunned and speechless, then struggled frantically, roaring loudly:

"Li Yao, you son of Liangzhou, murdering loyal ministers and controlling the government, you are the same as that Dong thief, you will surely die in the end, the civil and military officials of the court, and the princes of the world, all want to sleep on your skin and eat your flesh..."

Li Yao didn't care about the dead man, he waved his hands, left and right the Feixiong soldiers, and dragged the man out.

Wang Hong was dragged out, and Song Yi's body was also taken out. At this moment, Li Yao looked at Liu Xie again and said:

"Your Majesty, the matter has been clarified. Yang Biao, the former doctor of Guanglu, was bewitched by a traitor, so he uttered rude words and offended His Majesty..."

"Since this period of time, the imperial court has received a large number of pleas, all of which are former officials of the Yang family. The imperial court has no choice but to pay attention to it. Moreover, Yang Xiu, the son of Yang Biao, served as an envoy and brought the rebel Wang Hong back to Chang'an, preventing a turmoil from happening, and made a great contribution..."

"Thus, in my view, Yang Biao can be punished lightly, cut his official position and title, and punish him to go home and stay idle. Yang Xiu, Yang Biao's son, is loyal to the country and filial to his father. Such a talented person should be recruited by the court. He should be named Shang Shulang. I believe that after a little tempering, the court will have an extra prime minister!"

What can Liu Xie do? Although he is young, he also understands that Yang Biao is indeed for him, but when faced with Li Yao's threats, he dare not directly refuse:
"According to what Ai Qing said..."

Sad in his heart, since the death of his father, Emperor Liu Hong, the relatives around him have left one by one, even Liu Bian, who he didn't like very much before, also died for no reason.

He is afraid, he is afraid that one day it will be his turn, and it is precisely because of this fear that he has always been very obedient.

As for the officials and ministers, they were also filled with sorrow, but did not dare to explode. Yang Biao, as a staunch royalist, had always been the core they relied on.

But now, an old official like Yang Biao, either like Ma Rizun, Zhao Qi... was thrown to the Kanto, or just like Yang Biao, he was pushed out of the court.

In this dynasty, who else can fight against Li Yao?

Yang Xiu... The one they were most helpless was Yang Xiu. Yang Xiu stood outside Li Yao's mansion for a day and a night just to save his father's life.

But this time, he became Li Yao's minion, helping Li Yao to harm Wang Hong, loyal to the court and loyal to the emperor, and now there is one less one.

But the paradox is that everything Yang Xiu did was to save his father. The big man has his own national conditions here, and he governs the world with filial piety. If he follows this premise, then Yang Xiu should be forgiven and understood, and this behavior should be strongly praised.

Therefore, all the officials and ministers could only comfort themselves, that Yang Xiu had to help him because he was coerced by Li Yao.

Now that Li Yao is conquering Yang Xiu, if Yang Xiu accepts the conquering, then the Yang family in Kansai will become Li Yao's helper in the future.

One host, one student, the student naturally lowered his head when facing the host.

Otherwise, it is disloyalty. The dual monarchy system of the Han Dynasty requires not only being loyal to the king, but also being loyal to the Lord.

Wrong!

These people were actually directly fought by Li Yao. They lost all face and reputation.

Seeing that the ministers had no objections, Li Yao felt relieved and boldly said:
"In the future, the court meeting should not be held too often. Your Majesty's time is precious, and there is a lot to learn. From now on, every first and fifteenth day of the lunar new year, the court meeting will be held. All the ministers will meet with His Majesty and discuss major issues. The rest of the time, they will come to Shangshutai to discuss with me. I will sit at Shangshutai!"

Li Yao was isolated from the inside and outside, but not completely isolated. On the first and fifteenth day of the lunar new year, the officials could still see the emperor.

Then he went on, speaking earnestly:
"Your Majesty is young, and his studies are the most important thing. He cannot be disturbed by miscellaneous matters. For example, Wang Hong just now, if His Majesty is surprised by the rebellion, who can take responsibility? Who can take responsibility!"

When the ministers heard this, no one was angry, no one was angry, this was violating the emperor, this was violating the imperial power, but no one dared to stand up again.

Normally they couldn't enter the palace, and they could only see the emperor on the first and fifteenth day of the lunar new year, so they endured it all their lives.

Seeing that the officials were silent, Li Yao looked at Liu Xie again and said:
"What does His Majesty think?"

Liu Xie didn't want to go to court, so he said without hesitation:
"Very good, very good, let's do it, let's do it!"

Li Yao nodded in satisfaction, and all the officials bowed their heads feeling extremely ashamed.

Li Yao is consolidating his power step by step!
After the court meeting was over, Li Yao returned to his mansion. Yang Xiu was still waiting anxiously. After seeing Li Yao, he hurriedly saluted and said:
"General, my father..."

Li Yao looked at Yang Xiu and said:

"After I pleaded with His Majesty, your father just dismissed him from office and went home to live idle, but I have taken a fancy to your talent and enlisted you as the minister of the imperial court. From now on, you will be in the court, studying while doing things, so that you can become a pillar of the country as soon as possible. Now I can pick your father up by myself!"

Yang Xiu understood in an instant that Li Yao was giving him a warning. Now he can release Yang Biao, and he can also arrest Yang Biao. He has to accept the requisition.

Yang Xiu brought Wang Hong back, so he was valued by Li Yao, and at the same time he was qualified to rescue Yang Biao, but if he wanted to achieve long-term stability, he had to rely on this path, otherwise the end would not be so good.

But for Yang Xiu, it wasn't a big resistance to seek refuge with Li Yao. When he was born, the imperial court banned party members. His sympathy for party members and dissatisfaction with the emperor gradually grew up in this atmosphere, which made him less loyal to the imperial court and the emperor.

The key is whether Li Yao is worthy of allegiance. Yang Xiu comes from a famous family and is proud of his talent. If he wants to serve him faithfully, he must investigate...

Then Yang Xiu said solemnly:

"When I take my father back, make sure that my father is in good health, and I will come to the court immediately to serve!"

Li Yao heard the words and said directly:

"Okay, let's go!"

Yang Xiu saluted again, and then took a few slaves, drove the carriage to the prison, and finally picked Yang Biao out after communication.

It has to be said that Yang Biao's body is very good. Even after being tortured by the prison guards, although he looked bruised, he didn't hurt the root.

I really deserve to be able to live to 83 and watch the Han family change into the Cao Wei country with my own eyes.
