The Most Romantic of the Three Kingdoms

The person who spoke was Huangfu Li.

Huangfu Li came out of the class, bowed down to the hall, and said to Liu Xie, "Your Majesty, Yuan Shushu violated the imperial edict, hid the traitor Guo Si, and was rebellious. Not only did Yuan Shu die, but Guo Si also gave him his head. In terms of meritorious service, since Dong Zhuo's chaos in the imperial court, the courtiers have never done so much, so the court should reward him for his ignorance."

Liu Xie said: "This is exactly what I mean. So, in your opinion, why should I appreciate the bikes and rides?"

"Returning to His Majesty, the humble opinion of the minister, not the title of the Great Sima, is not enough to reward the merits of the chariot and the horse."

"Big Sima?" Liu Xie was taken aback.

More than Liu Xie was surprised, when Huangfu Li said this, all the officials in the hall, such as Yang Biao, were all surprised and changed their color.

As mentioned above, the post of Grand Sima was an old official in the previous Qin Dynasty. After entering this Dynasty, it was only used in the early years of this Dynasty. Later, it was no longer used as a minister. This position was once held by Li Jue when Li Jue and Guo Si were in power in the imperial court. This position is above the three dukes. If Xun Zhen is worshipped as the Great Sima, that means that from now on, it is not only in real power, Xun Zhen has two civil and military positions, such as Lu Shang Shu Shi and Cha and Qi General. As the first person in the DPRK, and in terms of "honorary status", Xun Zhen will also become the first person in the DPRK, even Yang Biao, who is as expensive as the third prince, and so on.

Xun Zhen will become the real head of the courtiers who are "under one person and above ten thousand people".

After Yang Biao's color changed, his brows furrowed deeply, he stepped out of the hall, bowed to Liu Xie, and said in a deep voice, "Your Majesty, this minister thinks that Huangfu Li's discussion is absolutely impossible!"

But Liu Xie's heart skipped a beat when he heard Huangfu Li's words "not a great Sima's seal".

For the official position of Da Sima, he has had a shadow. How did Li Jue and Guo Si take power at that time? Why was he forced to grant this position to Li Jue at that time? Therefore, when he heard Huangfu Li's words, he inevitably became nervous.

Hearing Yang Biao's words at this moment, Liu Xie tried his best to calm down his emotions and try not to show his emotions. He quietly glanced at Xun Zhen's expression and asked Yang Biao at the same time, "Why did the captain say this?"

Yang Biao then explained the history of the Great Sima, and specifically explained why this post was no longer established after the early years of the dynasty. Either way, all the ministers in the hall, including Xun Zhen, all heard what he meant, and they clearly said: Da Sima's position is not an ordinary official position, and with Xun Zhen's current achievements, he is not enough. Ge took up this position, and even his words seemed to contain a layer of "big Sima can't be a human minister".

After he finished speaking, Yang Biao didn't even look at Huangfu Li who was standing not far from him, his face was black as iron, and he said sharply: "Your Majesty, Huangfu Li made this flattering remark, and this minister secretly thought that he should be punished!"

Liu Xie looked at Xun Zhen hesitantly.

Xun Zhen calmly came out of the class, held the wat in a salute, and said slowly: "Your Majesty, this minister thinks that Yang Biao's words are reasonable. I am arguing with Yuan Shu now, so I have succeeded, thanks to Your Majesty's mighty spirit, and down to the officers and men. If you use your life, the minister will just sit back and enjoy the success. What is the credit for daring to be the chief Sima? Huangfu Li must not listen to this remark by His Majesty. But..."

Liu Xie said, "But?"

Xun Zhen still looked quite calm, with a smile on her face, and looked at Huangfu Li, but the look in Yang Biao's eyes was completely different from when Yang Biao was looking at Huangfu Li just now. It was the gentle spring breeze, and then said to Liu Xie: "However, Yang Biao asked His Majesty to punish Huangfu Li for his comments, but it was too harsh for his humble opinion. The local proverb says that a wise person has a thousand thoughts, and there will be a mistake, and Huangfu Lizai He didn't notice it for a while, and he didn't know anything, because he made this request to His Majesty, and the minister thought it was understandable. The so-called 'criminal' is not necessary for the minister. I don't dare to say more."

I don't dare to say much, but I have expressed my opinion.

Liu Xie hesitated again and again, but finally decided to obey Xun Zhen.

This was the first court meeting after Xun Zhen's triumph. The people who originally participated in the court meeting were all in high spirits, but because of Huangfu Li and Yang Biao's troubles,

The atmosphere in the hall was immediately suppressed. Soon after, the meeting was scattered.

After going down to court, because the words "big Sima" mentioned by Huangfu Li brought back unpleasant memories, Liu Xie was quite worried.

Among the attendants on the left and right, an **** with a few sparse beards growing on his lips peeped at his complexion and asked carefully, "Is Your Majesty in a bad mood?"

This **** was exactly Zhao Yue.

After returning to Xu County, after offering sacrifices to temples and prisoners, Xun Zhen dedicated Zhao Yue to Liu Xie according to his original plan, and told Liu Xie about his origins. Xun Zhen had just negotiated Yuan Shu and brought back Guo Si's head, which made Liu Xie feel very proud. Of course, he would not refuse to accept what Xun Zhen offered to him, so he took Zhao Yue back into the palace. In the middle, and looking at Xun Zhen's face, Zhao Yue was also appointed an official position such as Xiao Huangmen.

Zhao Yue has experienced many things in the past few years. First, he fled from the palace, ran back to Nanyang, and then was taken by Li Ye to serve him in Yuan Shu's mansion. Then, Yuan Shu was defeated and died. It was heard that he became more and more proficient in his ability to observe words and expressions and to serve people, so he was taken in by Liu Xie and followed Liu Xie. It was only a few days, but he was already quite pleased with Liu Xie.

——Liu Xie is a young man after all, with a lot of curiosity, and when he has nothing to do, he summoned Zhao Yue these days to ask Yuan Shu how his usual life was, and how Zhao Yue escaped from the palace and returned to Nanyang and from Yuan Shu. When Xun Zhen escaped from there, he heard about the people on the road and so on. One king and one slave, the two had not known each other for a long time, but they had said a lot in the past few days.

Hearing Zhao Yue's question, Liu Xie said, "It's not that I'm unhappy, but I don't know why, I think of the two traitors Li Jue and Guo Si again!"

Zhao Yue thought about it for a while, and already guessed why Liu Xie suddenly thought of Li Jue and Guo Si. Needless to say, it must be Huangfu Li's three words "big Sima". His face was full of loyalty, his tone was filled with the same hatred and concern for Liu Xie, and he said: "Your Majesty! Li Jue and Guo Si's sins of disrespecting His Majesty in the past are unforgivable, but since both of them are dead now. , In the humble opinion of the little slave, it seems that Your Majesty does not need to worry about it anymore. Your Majesty has a body of ten thousand gold, and this little slave longs for Your Majesty, and it is important to take care of the dragon body!"

Liu Xie did not speak any more.

Zhao Yue glanced at Liu Xie's face again, thought for a moment, lowered her voice, and then said: "Your Majesty, the little slave thinks that what Yang Biao said in the court today is all the words of a loyal minister! The little slave's stupid opinion, Could Your Majesty find an opportunity to reward him?"

Hearing this, Liu Xie felt strange, turned his face and glanced at Zhao Yue, and said, "A reward?"

"Returning to Your Majesty, this is the humble opinion of the little slave. Whether it is appropriate or not, the little slave does not know."

"Why do you suggest that I should reward Yang Biao?"

Zhao Yue replied: "Your Majesty, the words Yang Biao said in the palace today are not enough to confer the merits of a chariot and a horse to worship the Grand Sima. Although the little slave is a eunuch, he still agrees with it, and I deeply feel Yang Biao's words. Very right. This time, the charioteer went to Yuan Shu and recovered Nanyang for His Majesty. The credit is definitely there, but as the charioteer said, these credits are all because of His Majesty. The big Sima, the little slave also thinks it is impossible!"

When Liu Xie heard this, it was even more strange, and said, "You don't think so?"

Zhao Yue said, "Your Majesty, this little slave thinks it's impossible. There are two reasons."

"There are two more reasons? Which two reasons, tell me."

Zhao Yue responded and said, "Your Majesty, one reason is what Yang Biao said, and the other is the humble opinion of the little slave."

"What's your ignorance?"

Zhao Yue said: "Your Majesty, the 'big Sima' is the most powerful minister. Nowadays, there are many divisions at home and abroad. If Yuan Shu was destroyed, he would worship the chariot and be the chariot. What should the court reward for even greater military merit? I fear that the court will not be able to reward them at that time! Therefore, the little slave thought that what Yang Biao had said was very true, and the post of Grand Sima should never be granted. Please ride."

Liu Xie asked Zhao Yue to come forward, looked at him carefully, and said, "You were dedicated to me by the rider, why don't you speak for the rider?"

"Your Majesty, this little slave dares to speak to His Majesty, His Majesty is wrong."

Liu Xie was astonished and said, "Am I wrong? What's wrong?"

Zhao Yue was respectful and honest, and said: "Your Majesty, although the little slave was able to return to the palace because of the chariot and to serve your majesty again, the little slave is your majesty's servant, so how can he be a charioteer? Dedicate the little slave to Your Majesty?"

"What you said... it's not bad."

Zhao Yue said: "Your Majesty, so the little slave only has your Majesty in his heart, and there is no chariot! The little slave will remember the grace of the chariot, but in terms of allegiance, the little slave only owes allegiance to your majesty."

This answer was not expected by Liu Xie, and it was beyond Liu Xie's expectations. He couldn't help but admire Zhao Yue, but because of this, he wanted to test Zhao Yue's mind even more, so he said, "It's rare that you are so loyal! It's just that you Aren't you afraid that your words will be known by the rider?"

Zhao Yue was righteous and said: "Your Majesty, as the little slave just said, the little slave only has your majesty in his heart, if that's the case, then the little slave just said these words, not to mention that he was heard by the car from others, it is the car now. Here, the little slave also dares to say it!"

Liu Xie had not seen such loyal servants for a long time, and he was really touched.

In the evening, I went to Fushou Palace and saw Fushou. Liu Xie relayed Zhao Yue's words to Fushou, and still praised Zhao Yue's loyalty.

Fu Shou said softly: "Since Your Majesty thinks that he is a loyal servant who only sees him as a lowly concubine, then you might as well reward him. However, as for what he suggested to His Majesty, Yang Biaoyi should be added a second time, a lowly concubine. The concubine thought it was not necessary."

"Why is this?"

Fu Shou said: "Now the world is divided everywhere, and there are many people who refuse to obey the imperial court, especially Yuan Shao in Hebei, who has long been unpredictable and has always despised His Majesty, which is the most serious concern for His Majesty. His Majesty still needs to rely more on chariots and horses. Although he is loyal and loyal to His Majesty, if he makes the chariot and rider unhappy because of the reward, I am afraid it will not be worth the loss!"

Liu Xie pondered for a moment, and said, "What the Queen said is in line with my intentions." With affection, he held Fu Shou's hand, and said with admiration, "The Queen is really virtuous, and I have no worries if the Queen presides over the harem for me. "

...

Liu Xie was in a bad mood, and Yang Biao was also in a very bad mood after the court dispersed.

He returned home and sat down for a long time when the concierge came to report that four or five ministers came together to ask to see him.

These ministers were all opposed to Xun Zhen, and all belonged to Yang Biao's party.

Yang Biao invited them in.

Everyone met in the hall, saw the ceremony, and the guests and the host were seated.

One person was furious and said, "I didn't expect Huangfu Li to be so brazen! No matter what, he is also Huangfu Song's servant, and has a high reputation in the court and the public, but now he is so spineless that he is willing to join the chariot and ride. , Riding a dog for a chariot! Today at the court meeting, he publicly speaks to the Holy Spirit, please worship the chariot and ride the big Sima, it is absolutely ridiculous~www.wuxiaspot.com~ hateful and hateful!"

Another person said: "Thanks to Mr. Yang's blunt words, he refuted him on the spot, which made Che Qi have to give up this idea."

But another person groaned and said, "Speaking of which, Huangfu Li's comments to the court today are not necessarily the instructions of the charioteer."

Someone on the side asked, "Why do you say that?"

The man said, "Didn't you see that when Huangfu Li spoke, the charioteer also showed a faint look of surprise on his face? And later, didn't the charioteer refuse to be honored by the big Sima?"

One person laughed and said: "This is nothing more than a sing and a harmony between the two of them. How can you say that Huangfu Li's comments were not inspired by the chariots? If it wasn't for Yang Gong who refuted Huangfu Li at the time, I dare to say that the chariots would definitely not be. I can’t say no, let alone, Xun Yu, Xi Zhicai, Chen Qun, and others will swarm, all of them will come forward, and they will all ask the holy chariot to ride as the great Sima!”

Another person said: "Cheqi's wolf ambitions to control the power of the court have now been revealed! Previously, he was able to disguise one or two, but now he has eliminated Yuan Shu and has military merit in hand, but he no longer hides it, and can't wait. Get up!" He then turned worried and asked Yang Biao, saying, "Yang Gong, the chaqi was already wary of waiting for me, after today's court Yang Gong refuted Huangfu Li's matter, will the chaqi wait for me? Are you more suspicious?"
