Three Kingdoms: I am the Holy Son of the Yellow Turbans, my father is a wise and good teacher

Just as the news of Zhang Fu's martial arts competition spread all over the world, and the prize money was announced to the world later.

Emperor Ling of Han Liu Hong, who was in Luoyang City, could not sit still. If the Yellow Turban Army was helped by heroes and heroes, the court would be doomed.

Although Liu Hong was incompetent, he knew that he could not be the king of a fallen country, otherwise he would not have the face to face the emperors of all dynasties.

So Liu Hong directly brought forward the court meeting to discuss this matter.

"I heard recently that the Yellow Turban Army was going to hold a martial arts competition, and the gimmick was not small. The reward alone was more than 10 million yuan. Do you have any good ideas?"

Liu Hong said with a gloomy face.

He knew very well that if the Yellow Turban Army successfully held this martial arts competition, the court would suffer a serious blow and might even lose the support of the people.

So he had to find a way to stop the martial arts competition.

Although Liu Hong was eager to disrupt the Yellow Turban Army's martial arts competition, two major camps had formed in the court. One side was led by the aristocratic families and the eunuch party, and the other side was led by military officers and neutrals.

There were fierce contradictions and conflicts between the two forces, which made it impossible for them to reach a consensus.

Among them, Yuan Wei, headed by the aristocratic families, and Zhang Rang, headed by the eunuch party, now have a good relationship. They advocate severe punishment for Lu Zhi and Zhu Jun.

While He Jin, headed by the military officers, and Cai Yong, headed by the neutrals, tried their best to protect Lu Zhi and Zhu Jun.

However, neither side spoke, which made Liu Hong very dissatisfied.

Liu Hong believed that these ministers should work together to come up with a countermeasure.

But the reality is that all forces have their own thoughts, only caring about their own interests, regardless of the overall situation of the country.

This situation made Liu Hong feel helpless, and at the same time disappointed with the performance of these ministers.

Against this background, Liu Hong realized that he needed to take more decisive measures to solve the problem.

Otherwise, the court would fall into a greater crisis.

So, he decided to go out in person to find a solution.

However, facing such a complicated situation, how should Liu Hong deal with it?

For a while, the whole hall fell into silence, and it could even be said that it was so quiet that it made people feel scared.

At this time, even if just a drop of sweat fell on the ground, its sound could be clearly heard by everyone.

Liu Hong sat quietly on the dragon throne, his eyes full of majesty and determination.

However, at this moment, he cast his eyes on Zhang Rang and Zhao Zhong beside him.

Although Zhang Rang had colluded with Yuan Wei, Liu Hong always believed that they were still his father and mother.

Therefore, he hoped that they could stand up and come up with a solution for him.

Zhang Rang and Zhao Zhong felt Liu Hong's gaze. After looking at each other, they knew that they had to stand up now, otherwise their positions might be threatened.

So, the two stood up without hesitation and expressed their willingness to make suggestions.

In this tense atmosphere, Zhang Rang and Zhao Zhong began to think about countermeasures.

They knew that if they could not give an answer that satisfied Liu Hong, not only would their status be in jeopardy, but their lives might also be at risk.

As for Liu Hong, he needed a perfect solution to maintain his ruling position and ensure the stability of the court.

Against this background, the hall was filled with a tense atmosphere, and everyone was looking forward to the suggestions made by Zhang Rang and Zhao Zhong.

Their every word and every action would attract everyone's attention, because it was related to the future direction of the entire country.

At the same time, Liu Hong was also silently observing them, secretly praying in his heart that they could come up with an effective strategy.

At this moment, time seemed to freeze, and the atmosphere in the hall became more and more solemn.

Everyone held their breath, waiting for Zhang Rang and Zhao Zhong's decision.

And they also felt that the responsibility was heavy and they must go all out to provide Liu Hong with the best solution.

This contest concerning the fate of the country is about to begin.

Zhang Rang spoke first, "Your Majesty, the Yellow Turbans are rich, but compared to you and the Han Dynasty, they are a far cry from us. They can hold a martial arts competition, so why can't we?"

His eyes were shrewd, as if he had seen the success of this plan.

"Your Majesty's influence far exceeds that of the Yellow Turbans. As long as you come forward, those who are still on the road will definitely turn around and come to Luoyang to participate in the court's martial arts competition!" His voice was full of confidence, as if everything was under control.

Afterwards, Zhao Zhong led a group of officials from the eunuch faction to echo in unison: "Yes, Your Majesty, this plan is great! In this way, we can not only attract more talents, but also suppress the momentum of the Yellow Turbans, which can be said to kill two birds with one stone."

Their facesFilled with excitement, it seems that he has seen the dawn of victory.

After hearing this, Liu Hong smiled with satisfaction.

He secretly praised in his heart: "You are worthy of being my father. At the critical moment, we still have to look at your wisdom. As for the others, they are just a bunch of useless trash." His eyes swept over the crowd, and a trace of disdain flashed in his eyes.

Thinking of this, Liu Hong glared at Yuan Wei and He Jin.

As the current Taifu, Yuan Wei ranked among the three ministers, but he couldn't even think of such a small matter, which really disappointed him.

And He Jin was an absolute fool. Liu Hong naturally didn't have too much expectation for him. As long as he could support his decision, it was enough.

As if sensing Liu Hong's eyes, Yuan Wei stood up directly: "I second the motion!"

Then a group of officials from the aristocratic faction also stood up to agree.

"I also second the motion!" He Jin led a group of military officers to stand up and agree.

Now the only people who have not expressed their views in the whole hall are the neutral faction headed by Cai Yong.

"Does Cai Aiqing think this matter is inappropriate?" Liu Hong waited for a minute and found that Cai Yong just didn't stand up, so he could only remind Cai Yong.

"I second the motion!" Cai Yong took a deep breath. He knew that this matter was a foregone conclusion and he had to stand up, otherwise he would be in big trouble.

Although Cai Yong himself was not afraid of trouble, if it affected other neutral faction members, it would be his fault.

"I second the motion!" The neutral officials stood behind Cai Yong and echoed him.

Liu Hong nodded with satisfaction: "This matter is handed over to you. I will give you three days to draft the rules and send them to you. You must hold the court's martial arts competition well and make it better than the Yellow Turban Army's martial arts competition!"

Liu Hong was very happy now that all the civil and military officials in the court agreed. He directly announced that he would withdraw from the court. He didn't need to worry about the rest.

Those officials looked at each other and dispersed.

......

Zhang Rang arranged Zhao Zhong to discuss this matter with Yuan Kui because he had to serve Liu Hong.

"Yuan Taifu, what do you think should be done about this matter? I am still waiting for you to report to His Majesty after you have discussed it!" Zhao Zhong looked relaxed and sat there drinking tea while listening to their discussion.

Yuan Kui snorted in his heart: "Hmph, damn eunuchs, they only know how to show off, and they don't do any real work at all!"

Although he hated these eunuchs in his heart, he really needed to cooperate with them in the current situation, otherwise he would not be able to maintain a balance with He Jin.

Of course, he was not worried about He Jin, but worried about He Jin's allies, such as Cai Yong and other great Confucian scholars. These were all outstanding neutrals, and their reputations were still better than Yuan Kui's.

"Master Taifu, I think we just need to come up with enough funds. This is the simplest and crudest plan. These peasants who went to Bingzhou are just for a little money." An official said.

At the same time, several officials stood up and agreed, all of whom thought that this plan was feasible.

But Yuan Wei and Zhao Zhong's faces changed for a moment, and then quickly recovered.

Both of them knew His Majesty very well. It would be more painful than asking His Majesty to pay money.

"In fact, we have an advantage that the Yellow Turban Army does not have, that is, we can appoint officials and give them titles!"

"In fact, those people may not only pursue money. We can combine and give them high positions and generous salaries. Your Majesty should not object to this!" Wang Yun said.

Now Wang Yun's position is very embarrassing, because their Taiyuan Wang family has been destroyed by Zhang Fu, and now there are only some clan members who followed him to Luoyang to develop.

But there are only about twenty people in total, and it is very difficult to revive.

"I think it's feasible!" Yang Biao began to agree. In Yang Biao's opinion, becoming an official of the Han Dynasty is a good thing, whether it is civil or military. This is the highest honor for everyone.

So Yang Biao felt that Wang Yun's proposal was very reasonable. Although the money was much less, there would be both money and power.

"This plan is very good!" Before Yuan Wei spoke, Zhao Zhong's eyes lit up and he immediately agreed to this matter with a wave of his hand.

Zhao Zhong and Zhang Rang definitely knew Liu Hong best, and Yuan Wei was far inferior to them.

So Zhao Zhong immediately agreed to this kind of thing that could save money, and the success rate of this matter was at least more than 90%.

However, the specific amount of money would depend on the emperor's intention.

Zhao Zhong smiled and said: "Although this plan is possible, if the money is not enough, I hope you can all pay a little, and then promotion will not be a problem at all."

After Zhao Zhong finished speaking, he took people andHe left without giving them a chance to refute.

"Humph!" Yuan Wei snorted coldly and the meeting was over.

On the other side, He Jin and Cai Yong basically did not come up with any good strategy and finally gave up.

Cai Yong used his eloquence but could not persuade He Jin. He Jin did not have his own ideas, but he did not listen to Cai Yong's words.
