"Hahaha" Liu Cheng laughed a few times, then said after laughing: "If I, Liu Cheng, am such a narrow-minded person, what qualifications do I have to discuss the military and political affairs of the imperial court with your majesty, empress and lord?
From ancient times to the present, in the court hall There has never been a shortage of cases of fighting each other due to different political opinions, but Weichen will never casually get rid of his opponents just because of such things.
Hands, if a person has no opponents, it is easy to lose oneself and lose direction.
Keeping political opponents can keep oneself alert at all times.
The reason why the humble ministers want to kill those self-righteous loyal ministers and veterans is because they are representatives of the world's great families, and The aristocratic families behind them occupy more than 80% of the world's wealth and land.
More than 90% of the people have less than 20% of land and wealth.
How can they survive?
Do you know how the Yellow Turban Rebellion happened a few years ago?
Because the people have no way to survive, natural and man-made disasters, so they have to fight to the death.
Fight.
If you fight, there is still hope for survival.
If you don't fight, you will definitely starve to death.
Why don't they fight?
The queens and princesses were born into noble families, and were well-dressed and well-fed since childhood.
How could they know how difficult it is for poor people to survive?
They are doomed to a life of misery from the time they are born until they die.
They have never enjoyed a comfortable life for a single day.
Some people have never had a full meal or a meal of meat in their lives.
How sad this is."
"What's even more frightening is that the path of becoming an official and being promoted has been controlled by aristocratic families for hundreds of thousands of years.
It is as difficult for ordinary people to become an official as it is to reach the sky.
From birth to a commoner, it has been the same for generations.
Common people, they don’t see any chance or hope of becoming a master.
If it were the empress and princess, would you be willing to do so?"
It was eerily quiet inside the tent, with no one even breathing loudly.
Tang Guiren said in a trembling voice: "Isn't it always like this?"
Liu Cheng asked loudly: "How did the Han Dynasty come about?
Wasn't Emperor Gaozu just a pavilion chief?
Ever since Chen Sheng and Wu Guang called out princes, generals and ministers, Ning has the kind, the world knows: people are not destined to be born.
This is the principle of being poor for a lifetime, and this is why Gao has The founder of the country, Zhou Bo, was just a bamboo craftsman and a drummer; Fan Kuai was just a butcher of pigs and dogs; Zhang Liang and Han Xin were just down-and-out scholars.
Now that the Han Dynasty is in decline, it is the common people who are rebelling. , a big change of heaven and earth Good time.
If the court does not make changes, the Han Dynasty will be finished sooner or later and will become history.
Either it will be destroyed by the princes or overthrown by the people.
A new dynasty will replace the Han and rule the world, and we, the Han Dynasty, will become the Han.
The burial objects of the imperial dynasty, do you want to die?
If you want to live or die, everything will continue as usual; if you want to live, the court must make changes, follow the example of Lord Shang's reforms, eradicate all those in the court who hinder the change, redistribute land resources and social wealth, and alleviate social conflicts.
Only in this way, the Han Dynasty Only then can we regain our vitality.”
Everyone automatically imagined a scene in their minds of the demise of the dynasty and the uprising of ordinary people, which made them shudder involuntarily.
Liu Bian is nineteen years old.
Although he is weak and incompetent, it does not mean that he is stupid.
The demise of the dynasty means that he, the emperor, will become the last emperor.
Just like Qin II, he is destined to follow the Han Dynasty in the end.
The same perish and die.
He said tremblingly: "I, I said, I have said that the emperor's uncle is the most loyal to me.
With the emperor's uncle here, I feel relieved.

From now on, the emperor's uncle will make the final decision on all major affairs in the court.
I fully support it.
Who dares to question it?"
, I will kill whoever you want.”
At this time, Huayang Jun He and the Queen Mother said at the right time: "Your Majesty, don't worry, my husband will definitely protect your Majesty with all his strength."
Liu Cheng turned his head and glanced at Lord Huayang, cupped his fists and bowed to Liu Bian: "I thank you, Lord, for your kindness."
Liu Bian quickly raised his hand and said: "Uncle, please get up quickly.
I'm hungry.
Is the food ready?"
Zhao Chun, the chief eunuch, immediately returned to the camp: "Old slave, I'm going to urge you now."
Lu Bu, Wang Yun and others in Chang'an City did not know that the emperor had secretly left Chang'an, nor did they know that the general's palace was actually empty, with only a few soldiers standing guard outside the door.
Before leaving Chang'an, Liu Cheng also made arrangements and sent elite cavalry to block the news about Chang'an's access to the outside world.
For two days in a row, Wang Yun received no news about the battle between the Xiliang army and Hu Zhen, Duan Xuan and others.
Two days later, Wang Yun and others couldn't sit still.
The main force of the Xiliang army was in Xiagui, not far from Chang'an.
Even if the battle situation was unfavorable, it was impossible not to get news of the battle.
Wang Yun immediately sent someone to Xiagui to inquire about the news, and at the same time invited Lu Bu and some court ministers to his home for discussion.
"Did something happen?"
a minister asked after hearing what Wang Yun said.
Another minister shook his head and said: "It's impossible.
Even if something happens, we can't get the slightest news unless someone blocks the road and prevents the news from reaching Chang'an."
"Who, who would do this?"
Wang Yun asked, looking at the officials on the left and right.
No one can answer.
At this time, an armored general walked in, but it was a man with great facial features.
He walked to the middle of the hall and clasped his fists at everyone and said: "My lords, something bad is going on.
The Xiliang army is coming."
"What?"
Everyone was so shocked that they couldn't sit still and stood up.
Wang Yun lost his voice and said: "Didn't Hu Zhen lead his troops to attack the Xiliang army?
How could the Xiliang army reach Chang'an City with Duan Xuan attacking from behind?"
Fu Wan shook his head and said: "I don't know, general, but now Chang'an City is surrounded by the Xiliang Army."
Lu Bu said solemnly: "Let's go and take a look at the city wall."
"Yeah, let's go take a look on the tower."
Wang Yun and his party quickly came to the east gate tower and saw the flags of the Xiliang Army fluttering below the city.
They could not see the end at a glance.
An infantry phalanx and a cavalry phalanx were arranged in an orderly manner below.
"When did the Xiliang army have such a strict military appearance?"
Wang Yun's eyes widened when he saw this.
This scene was so unbelievable to him.
Lu Bu's brows furrowed, "The Xiliang army has never had such a neat appearance before.
This must be guided by someone who is proficient in military strategy."
"This seems to be somewhat similar to the Northern Army," an official said casually.
When Wang Yun of the "Northern Army" heard this, he immediately thought of Liu Cheng.
He immediately shouted: "Quickly send someone to the right general's house to invite General Liu."

Not long after, the people who went to invite Liu Cheng came back and reported: "Your Majesty, the right general is not at his house.
The people at General Liu's house said that General Liu has gone to the camp in Yi County."
Wang Yun was so angry that he was not here at such a critical moment.
He is too incompetent as the right general."
At this time, Lu Bu next to him said: "Master Wang, without Liu Cheng, wouldn't this battle be fought?
Since the Xiliang army has arrived at the city, we can only rely on ourselves now.
They only have 60,000 or 70,000 troops.
All the troops in our city There are nearly 20,000 people in total, and the city wall is tall and strong.
If the Xiliang army wants to capture it, they must first ask me if Lu Fengxian holds the Fangtian Painted Halberd and the 20,000 soldiers in the city."
Wang Yun looked at Lu Bu and felt a little relieved.
He looked down on Lu Bu very much.
He had always only regarded him as a thug and lackey, but he didn't expect that he would now rely on Lu Bu to guard Chang'an City.
Wang Yun grabbed Lu Bu's arm and said with a cheerful face: "I feel at ease with Fengxian here.
Fengxian, how many troops are there now and what is the situation in each department?"
Lu Bu said: "My Bingzhou army has more than 8,000 people.
After Dong Zhuo and his relatives were killed, more than 6,000 people were left behind.
Now these people are led by the school captain Dong Chengtong, and there are more than 3,000 old soldiers guarding them.
There are more than 3,000 Yulin Army and Huben Army at the city gate and the palace, but I’m afraid it won’t be easy to mobilize the Yulin Army and Huben Army.”
Wang Yun immediately said: "Fengxian, please arrange the city defense matters first.
I will go to the palace to see your majesty and report to your majesty the news that the Xiliang army is approaching the city."
"My lord, just go ahead.
As long as I, Lu Bu, am here, no one can break through the city wall defenses."
Wang Yun immediately brought his ministers to the palace to meet the emperor.
However, the Yulin army guarding the imperial city did not open the palace gate.
Wang Yun and others waited outside the palace gate for half an hour before someone shouted on the tower of the palace gate. .
"I am Yan Xing, the commander-in-chief of the Yulin Army.
What do you ministers have to do to attack your majesty?"
Yan Xing shouted from the tower of the palace wall.
The ministers and officials looked up and saw Yan Xing.
Wang Yun immediately shouted: "General Yan, now the Xiliang army is approaching the city with great momentum.
Please ask the general to open the palace gate.
We are going to attack your majesty."
Yan Xing pulled out a young eunuch.
The young eunuch stood by the wall and shouted down: "Your Majesty already knows about this.
His Majesty ordered Wang Yun to record the secretarial affairs and take charge of the government.
He is fully responsible for the defense of the city and the suppression of rebellion.
He will do whatever is convenient. power, no need to report everything” Wang Yun was overjoyed.
This was one person who was inferior to ten thousand people.
He said in his heart that the emperor was finally wise.
He was so happy that he automatically ignored the suspicion that the appointment and dismissal of such extremely important personnel was not in compliance with the regulations.
Although he felt sorry for not being able to go to the palace to see him.
It was a pity, but the great joy brought by the promotion diluted this regret.
He immediately bowed and said: "I thank the Lord for your kindness."
Wang Yun immediately left with his ministers and went to the east city wall to check the city defense deployment.
Along the way, a minister asked: "Why did Your Majesty order Yan Xing to open the palace door for us to come in?"

Wang Yun sighed and said: "Dong Zhuo has become powerful, arrogant and disrespectful to the emperor in the past few years.
Your Majesty spends every day in fear and fear.
Now I heard that the Xiliang army is coming and ordered the palace doors to be locked.
No ministers are there."
It makes sense that when we defeat the Xiliang army, His Majesty will see us."
"Master Wang is right."
The group quickly returned to the city wall.
Lu Bu and his generals were nervously arranging the city defense, and the Xiliang soldiers below the city were also preparing to attack the city.
At this time, several generals rushed out from the Xiliang army outside the city.
Someone on the city wall recognized them, "They are Li Jue, Guo Si and Zhang Ji.
I didn't expect that the Xiliang army now belongs to these three people."
The three men galloped to the city and stopped at a stone's throw.
One of them shouted loudly: "I am Li Jue, the captain of the Xiliang Military Academy.
Who is in charge of the city?
Come out and answer me."
Wang Yun rested his hand on the wall and responded: "I am Situ Wang Yun.
According to His Majesty's decree, I am responsible for the secretarial affairs and the general administration of the government.
Li Jue.
You are so brave.
You dare to raise troops to attack the capital.
Do you want to rebel?"
Li Jue shouted loudly: "Listen, people on the tower, Dong Cheng was loyal to His Majesty, but he was killed by you for no reason.
We just want to avenge Prime Minister Dong and seek justice, and we don't dare to rebel.
If you and others kill the king allow, Lu Bu and the murderers of Prime Minister Dong were taken out of the city to be executed by us.
If not, we would have to attack the city, kill the murderers after breaking the city, and then wait for the court to deal with them."
The defenders on the city wall started talking to each other in low voices.
When Wang Yun saw it, he knew something was wrong and immediately shouted: "Dong Zhuo committed a heinous crime and deserved his death.
You are rebelling under the pretext of avenging Dong Zhuo.
Everyone, listen, don't listen." plum Jue and others are talking nonsense.
If they attack Chang'an City, everyone will not be spared.
They can only defend.
I have sent people to ask General Liu Cheng for help.
As long as General Liu comes with his army, the rebels will be defeated.
The army is nothing to worry about” After Wang Yun said this, the morale of the defenders recovered a little.
Li Jue laughed: "Okay, since you are so stubborn, then we can only attack the city.
You can just wash your neck and wait, hahaha."
Lu Bu shouted with a livid face: "Prepare for war":
