Chapter 416: The Imperial Court's Reaction

The news of Liu Yu's death was transmitted to Qingzhou along with Liu Yu's testament. Just when the people of Qingzhou were also secretly saddened by Mrs. Liu in Youzhou, the court was fried because of Liu Yu.

Liu Yujue was a liege, with the position of a prince, and he went out of the town as a clan. It can be said that in this world, in addition to the emperor, he is the most precious person. Now that Liu Yu has passed away due to illness, the court regrets it at the same time, but it is more angry. Yes, not sadness but anger.

The reason is Liu Yu's edict. In the edict, Liu Yu recommended Lu Zhi as the pastor of Youzhou. Liu Yu caught the court off guard. After the Son of Heaven came to Qingzhou, the surrounding environment was very good. There was food, drink, and clothing, and the wages that the court ministers had been in arrears were also paid. In Qingzhou, the imperial court was also supported and loved by the people. Compared with the previous days in Chang'an, it is simply one in the sky and one on the ground.

As the saying goes, think about what you want. After the court stabilized, it began to toss. A group of people in Qingzhou can't just receive money and not work, they have to share their worries for His Majesty the Emperor, right? The places that the imperial court can nominally govern, Qingzhou and Xuzhou, are all up to Liu Bei alone. How can this work?

Scholars ponder people, and there are so many ideas. Don't talk about the pre-Qin, let's just say that the scholars of the two Han Dynasty played conspiracy and tricks, and no one is afraid. They fought with their relatives and with eunuchs. Except for the unreasonable martial artist Dong Zhuo, they have never retreated.

No, not long after coming to Qingzhou, he began to plot in private. Liu Yu is a Taifu, a very rare prince since the founding of the Han Dynasty, how can he be outside all the time with such a noble status? You must come to the court to assist the Son of Heaven and take charge of the government together!

If Mrs. Liu came to the Qingzhou Imperial Court, then the position of Youzhou Mu would also be vacant. Lu Zhiyuan is in Liaodong, how can he lead the history of Xuzhou with the post of Liaodong Taishou? This matter is not in line with the system, and these two positions can only take one of them!

The ministers thought beautifully. If Liu Yu came to the imperial court, with his prestige, qualifications and identity, he could only lead the political affairs with Liu Bei, as long as Liu Yu was put in that position, he was afraid that he would not compete with Liu Bei? attracted a person who competed with Liu Bei for power, and then got a real shortage of Youzhou Mu. Then Liaodong and Xuzhou, there is a vacancy out. When the courtiers go out of the town, they can arrange for people to go up to the vacated places......

So slowly recommend, slowly encroach, cautiously step by step. I'm afraid that when Liu Bei reacts, the local government has already planted people from the imperial court. When it comes to vision and general trend, Liu Bei is naturally ahead. But when it comes to the old and spicy methods of professional bureaucrats, Liu Bei is beyond his reach.

It's a pity that the justices of the court are planning, and before they are implemented, bad news came, and Liu Yu died of illness. If he is dead, he will die, and he will block everyone when he is dying. actually recommended Lu Zhi in the testament.

Who is Lu Zhi? Liu Bei's Taishan father-in-law! The natural ass is sitting on Liu Bei's side. Will this work? Although it is said that after Lu Zhi took over as Youzhou Mu, the two positions of Liaodong Taishou and Xuzhou Thorn Shi were also vacant, but can these two positions be comparable to a state pastor?

After Yang Biao read Liu Yu's testament, he took the lead in the silence, and he said sharply: "The Son of Heaven is still here, the state pastor has a heavy hand, and the former state pastor has designated a replacement, where is Your Majesty and the court?" This must not be done! ”

Yang Biao's beard was all open, and he was furious. In his opinion, Liu Yu broke the tacit understanding that the civil officials had always had. Absolutely intolerable.

Of course, there are still some things that are not easy to say, which have been backlogged in Yang Biao's heart. Now he just took the opportunity to vent his grievances. At that time, the Yang family and the Yuan family agreed to deal with the eunuchs and relatives together. Then the two families came to power together, but after the eunuch and his relatives died, the martial artist Dong Zhuo savagely used his armor to force the ministers to retreat and take over the power himself. so that the world is in turmoil. Hongnong Yang is also the fourth and third dukes, the hairpins of the past dynasties, when Yang Biao accompanied the emperor in Chang'an to suffer, Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu escaped, divided the place, one abolished, and the other claimed to be the emperor, so unhappy. With such a huge gap in the middle, how can Yang Biao be happy in his heart.

Originally, according to the plan, Liu Yu entered the court, and Yang Biao went out of Youzhou, but now that Liu Yu is dead, things in Youzhou are very likely to change, Yang Biao held back the fire in his belly, how not to be angry? It is a matter of family interests, so he doesn't care that he and Lu Zhi are in-laws, and Lu Min is his son-in-law.

Yang Biao took the lead, and the rest of the ministers also echoed him, but he selectively forgot about the matter of Yizhou Liu Yan passing on the throne to his son Liu Zhang. Liu Yu just recommended a candidate, but Liu Yan is a real father-to-son, and he uses public weapons for private use. And according to his conscience, what is missing in Lu Zhi in terms of popularity, qualifications, and talents? Not to mention that Lu Zhijiu is in Liaodong and is extremely familiar with Youzhou political affairs.

The ministers quarreled in the court, quoting scriptures, and fighting for red faces and red ears, and spittle. The Son of Heaven, who was sitting quietly on a high place, sighed lightly and said, "The general is still in Youzhou, why should the princes be anxious?" And Taifu Xinxue, the top priority is to send someone to hang. ”

As soon as the Son of Heaven spoke, the ministers were dumbfounded. Indeed, what's the use of fighting for a long time on your side, the general Liu Beilu is still in the book, and without his consent, it is useless to choose a hundred Youzhou pastors. As for who Liu Bei will agree with, do you need to say it?

Yang Biao sighed in his heart, but when he was in Chang'an, he could still be the master, even if it was a trivial matter. But when I arrived in Qingzhou, I was full of ambitions, but I found that I couldn't do anything. Is that all?

Liu Yu is dead, and what happens after him can't be simple. Because he is the Marquis of Xiangben and the Taifu. In the Han Dynasty, the princes and the three princes, the Son of Heaven wanted to give seals, jade silver threads, and utensils. I also have to send a messenger to treat the funeral, and hundreds of officials will send it. Of course, Liu Yu is far away in Youzhou, and the officials can't give him a ride.

In order to show his attention to Liu Yu and reflect the dignity and majesty of the Han court, the Son of Heaven sent Taichangqing and Doctor Guanglu as the leaders, led a group of people, and went straight to Youzhou to hang Liu Yu.

Liu Bei treated Liu Yu's funeral in Youzhou, and it was not easy to move troops during the mourning period, and as soon as Liu Yu died, the personnel changes in Youzhou next, and the Qingzhou army was not good to hang alone in Bingzhou. If there is a bad situation in Youzhou, and the grain and grass can't keep up in time, it will be miserable. The soldiers and horses did not move, and the grain and grass went first. No matter how elite his Qingzhou army is, no matter how elite he is, it will be useless if he has no food and grass.

So, Liu Bei ordered the generals on the front line of Pingcheng to lead their troops to retreat. The generals formed a formation and slowly retreated. Yan Rou still returned to Gaoliu and sat here with her brother.

Yuan Shao was in the city, and when he saw that Liu Bei's army had retreated, and even Bai Shanshan's men and horses had retreated cleanly, he said: "Something will happen in Qingzhou." So he sent someone to find out.

Not long after, the news came, saying that Liu Yu, the pastor of Youzhou, was sick and died. When Yuan Shao heard the news, he looked strange. He conquered Youzhou twice, and he didn't occupy an inch of Youzhou, but he first consumed Liu Yu, the state pastor, to death? Yuan Shao didn't know what it was like in his heart.

However, since Liu Bei has retired, Yuan Shao will no longer stay in Pingcheng for a long time. So he ordered Gao Gan to return to the town and annex the state, but he led his troops and returned to Jizhou.
