The domineering voice resounded through the hall!
Make everyone tremble.
However, after a few breaths,
An unexpected scene appeared for Liu Bian. When all the officials heard this absurd order, instead of refuting it, they all knelt down and shouted loudly,
"Your Majesty Shengming!"
Now it's Liu Bian's turn to be dumbfounded?
what?
Is there any mistake, isn't it a big taboo in the court to listen to the government behind the curtain?
Did you take the wrong script when you went out today?
Could it be that everyone is afraid of me, so they deliberately cater to me?
【Ding! 】
[The Empress Dowager listens to the government behind a curtain. Although this move is not in accordance with the etiquette system, it is recognized by most officials and is not a stupid move.Therefore no reward will be given. 】
Nima!
Liu Bian roared inwardly.
This group of ministers must be out of their minds, the harem interferes in politics, you actually agree? ? ?
Nima,
He lifted a rock and shot himself in the foot.
Where does he know,
Just because he made many stupid decisions, the ministers had long wanted the Queen Mother to come out and preside over the government.
Liu Bian took the initiative to invite the queen mother out, just in line with their ideas, so everyone praised him for his sageness.
from inner heart.
failure!
I finally thought of this method, but there is no reward yet...
"Your Majesty is young, so it is inevitable that there will be some inadequacies in handling important matters. However, His Majesty can take the initiative to ask the Queen Mother to preside over the government, which is extremely wise."
"The veteran believes that under the careful teaching of the Empress Dowager, His Majesty will grow rapidly and become a holy king!"
Zhao Qi, a veteran in his 80s, first stood up to praise Liu Bian.
Liu Bian had a gloomy face,
Nima, sprinkle salt in the wound.
That's it.
Now that it has been said, it cannot be taken back immediately.
Besides, he didn't want to hurt his queen mother either.
Let's do this first.
"If you have time to flatter, hurry up and deal with government affairs!"
Liu Bian glanced at Zhao Qi angrily.
This sentence made Baiguan feel very gratified.
Everyone praised Liu Bian in their hearts: It seems that His Majesty has really matured. Not only did he know how to invite the experienced Queen Mother He to come out to preside over the government affairs, but he also went to the court on time and took the initiative to inquire about the government affairs.
This is the fortune of the great man, the fortune of the world.
If Liu Bian could hear their voices at this moment, he would probably vomit blood in anger.
I really just want to be a fool.
"Your Majesty, I have the original play."
Cao Cao stood up from the crowd.
Seeing this person, Liu Bian's eyes lit up!
This guy has the potential to be a national thief, and he is a key training target!
"What's the matter?"
Liu Bian said loudly.
"Return to Your Majesty, the former Majesty expelled Ding Jianyang and Lu Zigan from Beijing in order to save the lives of both."
"The two are grateful for His Majesty's kindness, but they are worried that His Majesty will be murdered by rebels, so they dare not stay away. They have been stationed outside Luoyang City, always on standby!"
"These two men are loyal and good men. Now that the traitors are bowing down, the crisis of the court has been lifted. I implore Your Majesty to restore their official positions and re-employ them."
These days Dong Zhuo behaved very honestly,
Not only well-behaved in front of the emperor, but also very polite in front of other ministers.
He took the initiative to keep a distance from others, and the ministers who were originally attached to him also began to alienate him.
At this moment, Dong Zhuo doesn't see any ambition.
Therefore, Cao Cao also restored his reputation and drew a clear line with him.
After investigating for a few days, it was determined that there was no danger, so Cao Cao interceded for Ding Yuan and Lu Zhi.
"I... I demoted them to exile, but they are grateful for my kindness?"
"Damn, are you all crazy?"
"Why is it so difficult for me to be a fool!"
Liu Bian groaned in his heart,
Such a group of brain-dead ministers at the booth will be miserable for eight lifetimes.
"Your Majesty, the two of Ding Lu are always grateful for His Majesty's kindness, and they want to serve the country and repay Your Majesty for your kindness!"
"Please Your Majesty, allow them to return to court!"
Cao Cao bowed and said.
"Your Majesty, please allow them to return to court!"
Many people followed to intercede for them.
Liu Bian was about to cry,
Who really needs your thanks, please hate me!
"That's it."
Liu Bian waved his hand, "For the sake of everyone's plea, I allow them to reinstate their posts."
Cao Cao was overjoyed, "Thank you, Your Majesty!"
He hurriedly sent someone to rush out of the city to tell Ding and Lu the good news.
If they are fast, they can still catch up with today's morning court.
Ding Yuan is the governor of Bingzhou, shouldering the important task of protecting Bingzhou, so naturally he can't stay in the capital for too long.
He just wanted to meet His Majesty and thank him face to face.
"Grand Master Dong, how is the expansion of the Xiyuan Army going?"
"The capital city is an important place for the royal family and the core of the Han Dynasty. The defense of the capital city and its surrounding areas cannot be sloppy."
Liu Bian looked at Dong Zhuo.
The latter hastily bowed his head,
"Return to Your Majesty, the minister is about to report on this matter."
Dong Zhuo's face was a little nervous, and he hesitated in his speech, "I...haven't done my job well, no... I haven't recruited anyone."
This was the first task His Majesty entrusted to him, but he was unable to complete it.
He was naturally nervous.
"No one was recruited? What's going on."
Liu Bian heaved a sigh of relief when there was finally someone who was incapable of doing things.
If the civil and military affairs of the Manchu Dynasty are very capable, how can I be a foolish king.
Dong Zhuo said, "Returning to Your Majesty, the Xiyuan Army has not been paid for half a year. Not only have they failed to recruit people, but every day people resign from their posts in the army and go back to the countryside to work in agriculture."
This is a big hole, and Dong Zhuo doesn't want to fill it with his own money.
Although he is afraid of Liu Bian, he has not yet reached the point of impartiality.
"His Majesty!"
At this time, another person stood up, "The salaries and food salaries of officials and garrisons in various places have not been distributed for a long time."
"It's not that there is no payment, but that the treasury has no money at all!"
The treasury has no money?
Officials have no salary, and soldiers have no military pay?
Got it!
Liu Bian suddenly thought of a good idea: now, let's see if any of you dare to say that I am a good person!
Chapter 40 Fundraising is of course calculated on the basis of the head
"Dear dear ministers, the national treasury is now empty, and even the soldiers' salaries cannot be paid."
"If there is no money to pay soldiers, who is willing to defend the country for us?"
"So, from now on, the salaries of all officials will be suspended."
Liu Bian's voice was not loud, but it was extremely ear-piercing.
