101 The old minister seeks the country

Cao Jie leaned over and replied, "Maybe the two counties in Boling County and add the title of King Ji."

Then there was the Situ Yuan Wei who came out to oppose: "Boling County now only has the jurisdiction of several counties, including Boling, Liwu, Raoyang, Anguo, and Anping. Gaoyang had been cut off before. If two counties were cut off, Boling County could be dismissed."

Your Majesty then asked, "Where should I add the title according to your wishes?"

Yuan Wei replied: "Why not take Yi County and Zheng County of Hejian, and add the title of King Ji."

"No." Sikong Zhang Wen took the lead and said, "If the two counties of Hejian Kingdom are cut off for no reason, they will definitely make the royal family dissatisfied."

Yuan Wei replied again: "Why not take Bohai County to add Hejian?"

The Grandpa Deng Sheng came out and said, "It is so complicated to demolish and repair the east and west. As the Shangshu Ling said, the two counties of Boling should be cut off."

Seeing that the three dukes and nine ministers each had their own opinions, Your Majesty then looked at the old and polite Grand Marshal Yang Ci: "The Grand Marshal thinks, what should we do?"

Because he reported Zhang Jiao, he was granted the title of Yang Ci, the Marquis of Linjin. He then left the list steadily: "The old minister thought that Boling and Hejian might each take one county to add the title of King Ji. Then take one county in Bohai to add the Hejian."

His Majesty nodded slightly, glanced at him and asked casually: "Queen Cui?"

Cui Lie heard the sound and went out: "Your Majesty, Boling County can be removed."

A few years ago, Cui Lie was transferred to the position of Tingwei. Now the Han Dynasty, those who can hold the highest positions of the Three Dukes and Nine Ministers are still these old ministers. Middle-zodiacs such as Huangfu Song and Zhu Yan still need to be sent to the outside world to experience. Speaking of which, last year, because of his suggestions, he was rejected by the Ji Wang Wang's servant Fu Xie: "If you behead Situ, the world will be safe." Unexpectedly, the words of abolishing the county will be withdrawn today.

"Boling was established by the late emperor, how can it be removed without reason?" His Majesty asked with a smile.

Cui Lie replied: "In the first year of Benchu, the former emperor pursued Zun's father as Emperor Xiao Chong. His tomb was called Boling in Boshui. Therefore, he analyzed the land of Lucheng in Liwu County, established Boling County, and appointed the magistrate to worship. It was then owned by Zhongshan Kingdom. Later, he also analyzed Hejian, Anping, Zhongshan, and several counties of various countries, and established Boling County. Now Jizhou suffered from the Yellow Turban Rebellion, and the land was thousands of miles away. The palaces of the kings were destroyed and their homes were destroyed. The court should be polite. Boling County should be abolished, and several counties within the county were returned to various countries. This shows Your Majesty's favorable attitude to treat the royal family."

"Oh?" Your Majesty seemed quite moved.

Then, Sikong Zhang Wen came out to report and said, "At that time, the Yellow Turban power was great, and the tombs of the ancient kings in Jizhou were mostly stolen and excavated. Even the bodies were exposed in the wilderness and were tragic. The kings of the countries had complaints and were justified in their pensions."

Your Majesty nodded gently: "I came from Hejian, and I should be like this."

"The old minister thinks it is not possible." Situ Yuan Wei whispered: "The vassals of Jizhou are not only ineffective in fighting the thief, but also inconvenient in defending the vassals. The court does not pursue the prosecution, which is a blessing from outside the law. How can we reward them again!"

"I and others agree." General He Jin led the ministers to support him.

"I will discuss this matter again." His Majesty gave up and turned to He Jin: "Where is the place where the King of Ji has been granted? The general, may he have good advice."

"I think that Yuan Situ's proposal was to think deeply about the long-term and make the country's words." The general was a relative of the outside world, so he did not want the royal family to become a big shot. Moreover, he could also create grievances between the two countries out of thin air. For the relatives, it should have benefits but no harm. At this time, it can also be seen that the factions in the court were Yuan Wei, the uncle of Yuan Shao. Yuan Shao is now the chief general and the Yuan family of the four generations and three dukes should come with the general.

While hesitating, a person suddenly swept out of the corner of his eyes. His Majesty then asked with a smile: "Shu Lu?"

He was dismissed from his official position for crimes a year ago and was idle at home. This spring, Lu Zhi, who was reinstated again, made a report: "I think that as Yuan Situ said, he could take Hejian counties and increase the title of Ji Kingdom. Then he cut off the Bohai County to repair Hejian County to make up for Hejian."

Your Majesty then asked, "Why would there be no complaints in the river?"

"Now the Han vassal states only take rent and taxes. In terms of population, one county in Bohai can reach two counties in Hejian."

"Shangshu Lu, what he said is reasonable." His Majesty nodded happily: "I remember that there are more than one million people in Bohai, and only half of them are in the Hejian."

Your Majesty was about to issue an edict when he suddenly saw Dong Chong looking away. He sighed slightly in his heart and asked Yan, "What do you think General Cavalry thinks?"

"I think..." He raised a tiger's head in deafening manner, but in an instant he became a snake's tail: "What Secretary Lu said is very true."

Rotten wood cannot be carved, and walls of dung cannot be dirty.

He Jin beside him sneered.

Dong Chong turned a blind eye to himself and felt complacent. Who is Shangshu? He is the teacher of King Ji. He did not express his feelings at this time, and then he would wait for it.

King Ji and I are brothers of life and death.

"In this way, as Lu Shangshu said, the two counties of Ji State Yi and Jun were added, and Xiu County was taken to make up for Hejian." Your Majesty said: "The Secretary of the State will draw an edict on my behalf."

"Old slave, obey the order." Cao Jie threw himself into the ground.

The Grand Marshal Yang Ci also replied: "Come to report to Your Majesty and reopen the party and corruption matters, can the court discuss the matter?"

His Majesty frowned when he heard the voice: "I am tired today, I will discuss it later."

Your Majesty does not say "tomorrow" and only says "tomorrow". It shows that the reopening of the Party and the corruption is nowhere to be achieved.

"Retreat the court--" Seeing that His Majesty was about to rise, the Huangmen ordered Zuo Feng to sing loudly.

"Give me a greeting to Your Majesty."

Before His Majesty arrived in the West Garden, Zuo Feng’s confidant Xiaohuangmen rushed to the rescue and passed the consumption of the goods.

Yan Xing took the bamboo tube in his hand and handed it back to a purse. He watched the little yellow gate leave happily, and then entered the mansion and presented the bamboo tube to the right chief Jia Xu in front of him.

After confirming that the sealing mud is intact, Jia Xu unscrewed the bamboo tube and took out the white silk.

"As expected, the two counties of Hejian were cut off." Jia Xu smiled slightly.

"First there was Dongpingshu, then Wen'an. Now there were two counties, and there were four counties in front and behind Hejian, which were lost because of the lord. How could the King of Hejian be free of resentment?" Yan Xing said.

"The late emperor and Your Majesty both came from Hejian. However, they repeatedly cut off the old country's old land. It is not an exaggeration to say that they forget their ancestors in a few words."

Jia Xu didn't know that even without King Ji, soon Your Majesty would grant Yi County to the White Horse Gongsun. Gongsun Zan occupied Youzhou at the end of the Han Dynasty, built camps here, dug ten moats, piled up hills and formed hills, five or six meter high, and built camp forts above. The middle towers were ten meter high, and dozens of towers were built on it. Gongsun Zan regarded himself as an iron gate, and submitted documents to him all tied up. The city stored three million hu of grain, which was called Yijing. It was surrounded by Yishui in the south and could connect to the Liaohai Sea.

"What should I do?" Yan Xing asked.

"I will write a letter and send it back to the middle of the country. The two prime ministers should speak kindly and comfort the kings of all countries. They promised to give advice on their behalf, withdraw Boling and return it to the old county to calm their hearts." Jia Xu said, "In this way, the grievances of several countries should be relieved."

"The removal of counties is a major event in the court. The involvement must be widespread, and the right prime minister is somewhat sure." Yan Xing asked.

"Should be very sure." Jia Xu replied with a smile.

"In this way, the Right Prime Minister let go and Yan Xingdang helps with all his strength." Yan Xing then felt relieved.

By the way, the two of them stayed at Luoyang together, got along well and had a great relationship. Yan Xing was quick to speak quickly, and Jia Xu did not cover up. Only then did he have a question and answer.

The affairs of the court are inseparable. They are not as good as the world of martial arts, and they are willing to be revenge. In this court discussion, the reason why Jia Xu secretly asked Cui Lie to withdraw the county was to throw stones and ask for directions. He was as wise as Jia Xu, who had expected it. His Majesty often adopted the strategy of "demolition of east and west, and counting birds with one stone". It not only weakened the Hejian one after another, but also made secret gaps between the countries and Ji.

Moreover, the Shangshu Ling Cao Jie has repeatedly hinted that he wanted to let King Ji submit a letter and ask for the party and corruption to be opened. Removing the party and corruption is the general trend. Even if he has no choice, he should not sit idly by the situation in Kanto and continue to be corrupt. Now, he is just bargaining with him by abolishing Boling.

Thinking of this, Jia Xu said, "Yanming, go to the mansion to upload a message and ask Cao Jie to meet tonight."
