Chapter 264 Liu Xie

Seeing that they didn't react, Xun Yu thought about the delicate situation in the court, and his heart suddenly moved.

"Your Majesty, are you planning something?" Xun Yu pondered slowly in his mind.

squeak

The clerk on duty pushed the door open, glanced at Xi Zhicai and Xun Yu, quickly came behind Xun You, and spoke in a low voice.

This was a long story, but the three of them were sitting together, so they could all hear it clearly.

Without waiting for the clerk to finish, Xi Zhicai said in shock, "You mean, the imperial guards from the Huangmen Beisi Prison blocked the gate of the Imperial College, and the students of the Imperial College were confronting the imperial guards, but no one intervened? Where is Taichang Bian? No one from the Luoyang Prefecture, the Criminal Department, and the Censorate came forward?"

The imperial guards blocked the Imperial College, and the students resisted. This was no ordinary incident. If things went wrong, it would have unpredictable effects on the scholars of the world and on the prestige of the imperial court!

The clerk looked at him and said, "No. I heard that Bian Taichang went to the palace. He must have gone to see the Prime Minister."

Xun You frowned, looked at Xi Zhicai and said, "We must resolve this matter as soon as possible!"

Xi Zhicai frowned and asked, "How to solve it?"

Xun You thought about it and said, "Go and ask the King of Bohai to come forward."

Xi Zhicai looked at him with some strangeness and asked, "Are you sure it's the King of Bohai?"

Xun You nodded and said, "Except for the King of Bohai, there is no one else."

Xun Yu suddenly interrupted and said, "Zhicai, hurry up!"

Xi Zhicai still hesitated and asked, "Do we really want to invite King Bohai?"

King Liu Xie of Bohai was a special figure in the court and the country. Almost all court officials avoided him. In Luoyang City, almost all officials in the court and the country subconsciously isolated him.

Now, they want to ask King Bohai to come forward. This is not only a challenge to the court and the public, but also depends on the attitude of the palace.

Xun Yu suddenly became serious and said, "It must be resolved as soon as possible. I am worried about the palace."

Xun You looked at Xun Yu deeply, and then said to Xi Zhicai: "I will go with you."

Seeing that the two Xuns had the same attitude, Xi Zhicai was silent for a while, then stood up and said, "No need, I'll go by myself."

Xun You watched Xi Zhicai's back, then turned to Xun Yu and said calmly, "Uncle, you've hidden a lot of things from me?"

Xun Yu remained calm and said, "You will know by the end of this year or early next year."

Xun You saw that Xun Yu did not explain, and knowing the seriousness of the matter, he pondered and said, "Your Majesty, have you made up your mind?"

Xun Yu nodded slightly and said, "I don't know exactly, but it will definitely be a big move."

Xun You actually had a premonition as well, and looked thoughtful.

Many things under the "New Deal" came to a halt, such as surveying land, registering households, cleaning up bureaucracy, and rectifying taxes.

After a series of events, especially the fact that taxes decreased instead of increased, the patience of the palace gradually ran out.

Xun You had a premonition about this and could understand it.

But the reality is that Yuan Shu in the south has not been destroyed, Dong Zhuo is ready to make moves, the north has a lot of work to do, and the treasury is empty. Under such circumstances, we should be "cautious" and delay time as much as possible instead of making major changes.

The uncle and nephew Xun remained silent, each with many things on their mind.

At this time, Bian Rang arrived at the Secretariat and petitioned Prime Minister Yang Biao.

Bian Rang sat opposite Yang Biao, with a serious face, and said: "Prime Minister, the Taichang Temple has a lot of things to do, and Hongdu Gate Academy was left by Lord Cai. Since I took office, I have been working diligently and never slacked off. Of course, if something like this happens, I should take the blame, but the Imperial Academy is the foundation of the country and the hope of the world. If we continue to investigate like this, it will make the scholars of the world panic and alienate the court..."

Yang Biao hadn't slept well in the past few days. Listening to Bian Rang's great principles, his face turned pale and he said in a low voice: "What do you want from me? None of the three judges listened to me. If they had accepted it, would this happen today? "

Seeing Yang Biao was angry, Bian Rang said, "Prime Minister, the Beisi Prison of Huangmen is now blocking the gate of the Imperial College. We must solve it as soon as possible. We can't delay."

Yang Biao knew that he was extremely disappointed with Bian Rang in front of him. He was full of anger but knew that this was not the time to vent it. He snorted coldly, stood up and said, "Follow me!"

Bian Rang was delighted and hurried to follow.

Yang Biao left the Shangshu Terrace, walked around the Jiade Hall, and came to a row of corridors not far away.

This is where the Palace Guard temporarily handles affairs. In short, it is located between the Shangshu Tai and Chongde Hall. All memorials and official documents are collected here and then presented to Chongde Hall.

Lu Yu was busy sorting out official documents. When he saw Yang Biao coming in person, he stood up to greet him and said, "Your humble servant greets the Prime Minister."

Yang Biao put his hands behind his back, nodded with a kind smile, and said, "Lu Yu, you haven't chosen a name yet, right?"

Lu Yu was somewhat puzzled by Yang Biao's arrival, but he was calm and said, "I am not yet of age."

Yang Biao nodded and said, "When the time comes, I will get it for you myself."

Lu Yu was stunned. The choice of a name was usually decided by the elders in the family. Although his father had passed away, he still had uncles, so it was not Yang Biao's turn.

But when a person of high moral character and prestige is given a name, everyone is happy about it.

Lu Yu knew that this was not a simple matter, but he still said, "Thank you, Prime Minister."

Yang Biao's prestige is unparalleled in the world.

After Yang Biao finished speaking, he paced a few steps, deliberately glanced at the simple room, and then said, "Lu Yu, did you know that the Huangmen Beisi Prison is now blocking the Imperial College?"

Lu Yu was stunned. He really didn't know.

He immediately understood Yang Biao's intention and glanced at Bian Rang outside the door. Lu Yu thought for a moment and said, "I don't know what the Prime Minister means?"

Yang Biao put his hands behind his back, looked dignified, and said, "We must resolve this matter as soon as possible, otherwise the impact will be too bad."

Lu Yu understood, and with a hint of hesitation on his face, he said, "Prime Minister, His Majesty does not want it to expand either."

Yang Biao's heart suddenly relaxed, and his stiff smile blossomed instantly. He said with a smile: "Come to my house in a few days. The books and articles that Lord Lu gave me that year should belong to you."

Lu Yu opened his eyes slightly and raised his hand quickly, saying, "Thank you, Prime Minister."

Yang Biao nodded. With Lu Yu's words, he was completely relieved and turned to walk out of the room.

Bian Rang heard everything clearly, and when they were far away, he whispered to Yang Biao, "Prime Minister, what should we do now?"

Yang Biao ignored him and walked straight to the Jiade Hall, calculating these things in his mind.

He was extremely sensitive to the political situation in the court and was very concerned about the attitude of the palace.

He had a clear feeling that something was being planned in the palace, but he just couldn't tell.

The movements in the palace are unclear, so Yang Biao has to be more cautious and cannot make any mistakes.

Bian Rang was worried when he saw Yang Biao didn't say anything.

After a while, Bian Rang looked at Yang Biao walking eastward and couldn't help but said, "Prime Minister, this is not the way back to the Shangshutai."

Yang Biao ignored him, walked around the Jiade Hall, glanced at the Sima Mansion, and walked straight towards the Lanting.

The Censorate was located in Lantai, also known as Lantai Temple.

Bian Rang understood a little and said, "Prime Minister, do you want to ask Fu Zhongcheng to come forward?"

Yang Biao waved his hands, a look of annoyance appearing on his face.

This side is not as good as Cai Yong, at least Cai Yong knows how to read people's expressions and is cautious.

When Yang Biao arrived at the Censorate, Fu Wan was already waiting there. He asked with a big smile on his face, "How come the Prime Minister has time to come to my Censorate?"

Yang Biao snorted coldly at the smiling face and walked straight to Liu Xie's duty room.

Fu Wan was startled, thinking that Yang Biao was probably still angry about the Hongdu School incident, but he didn't care and asked, "Prime Minister, are you here to see the King of Bohai?"

Yang Biao didn't want to pay any attention to Fu Wan, so he came to Liu Xie's duty room. When he heard a noise from inside, he pushed the door open.

Liu Xie and Xi Zhicai inside were both startled and turned to look at Yang Biao.

Liu Xie was a little surprised. This was the first time that Yang Biao was so rude.

He glanced at Fu Wan who was also confused, then stood up and asked with a smile: "What is this, Prime Minister?"

Xi Zhicai also stood up and looked at Yang Biao with some anxiety in his heart.

Yang Biao didn't waste any words, and said with a sullen face: "King Bohai, I ask you to go to the Imperial Academy and drive away those imperial guards."

Liu Xie suddenly became alert and glanced at Xi Zhicai.

This Xi Zhicai also "invited" him to go to the gate of the Imperial College to deal with the current confrontation.

Xi Zhicai shook his head slightly, indicating that there was no conspiracy.

Liu Xie fell into deep thought, or rather, became hesitant.

He knew his embarrassing situation better than anyone else. It was not easy for him to survive until now. What would the palace think if he rashly stepped forward and interfered in government affairs?

Yang Biao seemed to have sensed his thoughts and said, "I will guarantee this matter, King Bohai can rest assured."

Liu Xie's desire to "contribute to the Han Dynasty" suddenly surged in his heart, and it was somewhat uncontrollable.

Xi Zhicai saw the expression on Liu Xie's face and said, "Your Highness, this is also the attitude of the two ministers of the Ministry of Personnel and the Ministry of Revenue."

Yang Biao glanced at him and frowned secretly.

Liu Xie was determined when he heard this, and said, "Okay. I will go there myself!"

Fu Wan wanted to stop him, but Yang Biao calmly raised his hand to stop him.

Liu Xie changed into his official uniform, took a large group of people from the Censorate with him, left the Censorate, and asked Zhang Yang for some Yulin soldiers outside the palace. After getting permission, he went to the Imperial Academy with confidence.

Xi Zhicai had been standing by, glancing at the Yulin Army behind him, his heart in turmoil.

As for borrowing people from the Yulin Army, all the government offices in Luoyang City did so frequently. Since the number of people was small, it was not a big deal and there was no need to alarm the palace.

But if Liu Xie borrows people, the Yulin Army will definitely report to the palace.

In other words, Liu Xie's trip was tacitly approved by the palace.

The palace has always been paying attention to what is happening outside the palace!

Xi Zhicai felt more and more clearly that something big was about to happen.

Liu Xie brought nearly a hundred people to the gate of Imperial College.

When the students saw Liu Xie, they couldn't help but rush out excitedly and greeted him, "Students/your subordinates greet the King of Bohai!"

Hundreds of people were talking at once, the noise was so loud and chaotic that no one could hear clearly.

Liu Xie stood expressionless between the imperial guards and the gate of the Imperial College, allowing the teachers and students of the Imperial College to continue shouting.

Liu Xie had a particularly good reputation among the people, especially in the Imperial Academy, because of a speech he made at the gate of Taichang Temple a few years ago.

The imperial guards of the Huangmen Beisi Prison not far away looked at each other and looked at Liu Xie with some surprise.

Zuo Li in the teahouse could no longer sit still, so he quietly left the teahouse and approached the gate of the Imperial College.
