The emperor tilted his head, looked at Xun Yu for a while, and laughed silently. "If you have any objections, you might as well speak out."

Xun Yu bowed. "Your Majesty is so serious. The plan is a good plan, but it is passive. The military strategy says: I am invincible and can be defeated by the enemy. If Sun Ce underestimates the enemy, he will be arrogant and attack from both sides and destroy himself, the court can naturally take advantage of it. But if Sun Ce does not underestimate the enemy, but stabilizes Qingxu first and then take it in time?"

"Lingjun said that even if Yuan Tan had the possibility of conquering Youzhou, Sun Ce might not be competing for Youzhou?"

"Your Majesty, Yuan Tan was originally a prisoner of Sun Ce. Why did he let Yuan Tan go back? Just for the three thousand gold? Sun Ce owed a lot of debts, but he was not without money, otherwise he would not have promised Yang Biao 30,000 gold at once. The reason for owing debts is that he refused to collect excessive taxes and fished out of the water. He wanted to release the water to raise fish and make profits. Although he was young, he was a calm person with a long-term vision and no greedy for small profits in front of him."

The emperor understood a little. "Lingjun is right. If Sun Ce wants to restrain Yuan Tan, he does not necessarily need to attack Youzhou across the sea. As long as he launches an attack in Qingzhou, it will make it difficult for Yuan Tan to take care of both." He paused and then said: "Is it Liu Bei who Sun Ce wants to guard against? This... how is this possible? Could it be that he is the incident in Youzhou..."

Xun Yu threw a glimpse of praise at the emperor and shook his head again. "Your Majesty, you have to control Youzhou thousands of miles away. Sun Ce does not have such great ability yet. This result may not be as expected. However, Liu Bei is a cunning person, and his master can escape freely. His survival ability is not comparable to that of ordinary people. Such a person is easier to survive in troubled times. If Youzhou is in chaos, his chances of survival will indeed be greater. Sun Ce is good at knowing people and often knowing talents in the grass. He will not be unable to see this when he has been with Liu Bei for several months."

The emperor sighed softly, and wanted to speak but stopped. He reconsidered Liu Ye's plan and felt a little passive. As Xun Yu said, if there are five states as their family, even if they suffer some setbacks, Sun Ce will at most be damaged, but will not be in a slump. It is not safe to place his hope for success on Sun Ce's mistakes. If Sun Ce does not make mistakes, or what if he wins the bet? When the negotiations are negotiated, Sun Ce will not necessarily pay attention to him.

"Lingjun, should you give up such an opportunity and immediately agree to Sun Ce as the king?"

"That's not. Your Majesty can do it step by step, pick up those not-so-important things first, or do it first, or talk about it later. For example, Sun Jian's Jiaozhou Governor and Yuan Shao's crimes can be handled first. The eldest princess' engagement can also be agreed to and operate slowly. In this way, Sun Ce knows Your Majesty's sincerity and can understand the difficulty of being a king. If he is tempted by the title of king and attacks across the sea, then Your Majesty can sit and watch the change. If he wins, he will be the king and fulfill his promise. If he is defeated, he will have no face to mention it."

The emperor thought about it and praised, "It turns out that you are still wise and there is no omission. If you can listen to what the two of you are saying at the same time, there will be no major mistakes."

Xun Yu immediately suggested that the emperor hold a court meeting to gather ministers to discuss related topics. The first month of the year is about to end, and a court meeting is held, which is also announcing that the court has officially begun to work. News is constantly coming from Liangzhou that there are more and more families who accept marriage, and there will soon be people entering Guanzhong. It is okay for Liangzhou people to say that they are all Han people, and the Qiang and Hu tribes are prone to criticism. They must unify their opinions in advance to avoid unpleasant things. A large number of families in Liangzhou entered the court, and old ministers from Guandong were threatened. Their attitudes may be relaxed. It is more appropriate to announce Yuan Shao's crimes at this time.

The emperor heard one by one and summoned Liu Ye to discuss. Considering that this matter was of great importance, Xun Yu proposed to transfer Huangfu Song back to Chang'an, preside over the military affairs of Guanzhong, and presided over the martial arts competition. Sikong Zhao Wen was stranded in Nanyang and did not know when he would come back. Xun Yu recommended Liangzhou to engage in Yang Fu as the Sikong clerk and act as the daily affairs of Sikong Mansion.

On the first day of the second month, the officials and court meeting. After a fierce debate, with the support of the newly-entered Liangzhou officials, the emperor successfully passed a resolution, determined that Yuan Shao's crime of forgery was established, deprived of his title, and pardoned Yuan Tan, but removed the position of Jizhou governor and changed it to the governor of Jizhou. Guo Yi, He Chun and others were also defeated one by one. Guo Yi was beheaded, He Chun and others were demoted and imprisoned, and they were not allowed to take office for life.

Of course, these are all pretending. Yuan Shao is already dead, and the court cannot send people to Jizhou to peel off the coffin and kill the corpse. Wang Yun died as the Grand Tutor, and the court only verbally rebuked a few words, but did not take away his post after his death. His son Wang Gai and others symbolically dismissed the official position and would not take long to recover.

But the situation of the old ministers from Guandong became awkward. Most of them had close ties with Yuan Shao. Now the situation is in a difficult situation, so naturally they have no confidence to stop the emperor's reforms. Even if they want to return home, they are unlikely to go back to their hometown. First, Sun Ce is harsh on the aristocratic family, second, Sun Ce does not like to use old ministers, third, they are related to Yuan Shao, and they are opposed to Sun Ce, so they can only study behind closed doors when they go home, and may also affect their descendants' career. After thinking about it, except for a few people who retire, most of them stay in Chang'an, and they can be helplessly a loyal minister, hoping that the emperor will succeed and can also be a minister of revival.

The emperor did not completely give up on them, and adjusted his post accordingly, allowing them to become some leisurely officials, waiting for their old age to retire.

At the same time, a large number of Liangzhou officials entered the court, bringing a cold and brisk atmosphere, among which the new Sikong clerk Yang Fu was the most prominent. He debated fiercely with a group of old ministers during the court discussion, refuting their discrimination against Liangzhou people, and proved that the induction of Liangzhou families into Guanzhong was the wise move of the emperor and the hope of the revival of the Han Dynasty.

He pointed out angrily that the origin of the Qiang Rebellion in Liangzhou was that the officials from Guandong did not comply with the hardships of the Han and Qiang people in Liangzhou, imposed heavy taxes, and forced the people to rebel. It was the Guandong people's discrimination against the Guanxi people that made the Qiang Rebellion in Liangzhou become more and more intense. If the building was about to collapse, these people were unable to turn the tide and would only quote the classics and say some empty words. They should all drive out of the court and select officials familiar with the customs and customs of Liangzhou to govern Liangzhou.

Yang Fu's aggressiveness made those old ministers unable to fight against the enemy and became famous in one battle. Even Han Sui and Ma Teng, who were a little dismissed by him, had to admit that he was a talented person and deserved the reputation of Liangzhou.

The entry of Yang Fu and others in the court played a very critical role in the migration of the emperor to the Han and Qiang people in Liangzhou to Guanzhong. The Sikong Mansion was also responsible for the matter of water and soil. Zhao Wen was not there, and Yang Fu was the actual Sikong. After the court meeting, he immediately rushed to various places to measure the land, plan military farms, and prepare for spring plowing.

Compared with the Central Plains, Guanzhong has been deserted for a long time, but compared with the bitter and cold Liangzhou, Guanzhong is simply a paradise, with fertile land everywhere. Seeing so much land abandoned, the Liangzhou families that were first married to the court were so happy. In the past, due to the imperial laws, the people of Liangzhou could not move inward. Even Zhang Huan, a famous general in Liangzhou, who wanted to move his family from Dunhuang to Hongnong, had to work hard. Now, as long as the emperor is supported, they can move to Guanzhong to settle down. For them, this is simply a blessing from the sky.

The news came back to Liangzhou, and the whole of Liangzhou became riots.

At the same time, the emperor ordered people to find the burial place of Yuan Wei, Yuan Ji and others, reconcile them, and send Taichang to sacrifice, then put more than fifty coffins, and ordered people to send them to Runan for burial.

Immediately afterwards, the emperor issued an edict to change the reign of the year, and the reign was Jian'an.
