Section 259: Liu Xie's participation in politics
In Luoyang City, the forces of checks and balances in the world allowed Guan Yan to spend a few extremely comfortable months. Cai Yan's waist and abdomen became bigger and his movements became more and more inconvenient. Guan Yan wanted to be a hand-off manager and accompanied Cai Yan wholeheartedly, so he threw all the political affairs to Xi Zhicai and Ju Su; he first entered the camp and handed them over to Ju Yi; but the tiger and leopard cavalry unexpectedly handed over to Zhang Liao from Bingzhou; Ji Ling was the subject of the guards in the palace; since Guan Yan was ill and could not go to court, the movements in the court could not escape Guan Yan's eyes and ears.
Everything was arranged, Guan Yan accompanied Cai Yan every day, and Diao Chan was wandering around the yard. At his age of less than 30, he was in his early seventies and was content with leisurely and contentment! Cai Yan could not have sex, and Guan Yan had more days to stay in Diao Chan overnight. When Cai Yan was pregnant for four months, Diao Chan was pregnant. This was really a double happiness.
In the backyard, Guan Yan held Cai Yan with one hand and Diao Chan's hand with the other, strolling leisurely to admire the scenery in the courtyard. At this time, the bleak autumn in Guan Yan's eyes was as beautiful as the spring scenery.
With a burst of rapid footsteps, Xiao Qi, the captain of the guard, trotted.
"Lord, Bingzhou urgently reported!" Xiao Qi knelt in front of Guan Yan on one knee, holding up his hands to report the letter. Since both mistresses were there, Xiao Qi kept lowering his head and did not dare to raise his eyes to look at him.
Guan Yan took the letter and said, "Thank you for your hard work, let's go ahead first!"
Guan Yan led Cai Yan and Diao Chan to a pavilion and sat down, showing his letter to see him.
After a while, Guan Yan murmured: "Ding Yuan is dead..."
Ding Yuan, the governor of Bingzhou, secretly helped Guan Yan because he was helped by Guan Yan's life, so this was Guan Yan's great help. Originally, Ding Yuan, Yuan Shao and Gongsun Zan checked and balanced the forces in the north, and each had a state. Now that Ding Yuan died of illness, the situation will change; and Bingzhou is only separated from Luoyang by a river, so there must be no mistakes here!
"Yan'er, Chan'er, I have important matters to discuss. The autumn mood outside is too heavy. You two will go back to your room to rest early later!"
"Don't worry, husband!" Cai Yan replied, then stood up and bowed to Diao Chan, watching Guan Yan leave in a hurry.
"Xiao Qi!" Guan Yan waved his hand and shouted: "Go and invite Xi Zhicai and Ju Zu to see each other in the study."
"Here!" Xiaoqi was ordered to run out.
A quarter of an hour later, Dian Wei was still guarding the study like an iron tower; in the study, Guan Yan, Xi Zhicai and Ju Su sat around in front of the cowhide map and discussed softly.
"The land of Bingzhou must not be lost!" Guan Yan took Bingzhou heavily on the map: "I want to order Zhang Yan, Chen Deng to take Bingzhou quickly; Zhang Liao was originally an official in Bingzhou, so he can first clear Dingyuan's subordinates."
Ju Su looked at Xi Zhicai and looked at Guan Yan's slightly excited face: "Lord, I believe that General Zhang Yan's Black Mountain Army has not yet reached the time to leave the mountain."
"Why?" Guan Yan asked with a frown.
"The Heishan Army is a surprise soldier. Even if it loses Jizhou, the lord has not yet been used. The situation in Bingzhou is still unknown. You can plan and take it through a plan!"
Xi Zhicai nodded: "What's more, those who are interested in the court are staring at the lord all the time. At this time, the Heishan Army confesses to the world, and may give people a handle!"
Guan Yan stood up and thought about it carefully. Although he is not afraid of the party members now, he is not sure of being eradicated. He still needs to be careful at this time, otherwise why should he give it to the party members in Jizhou?
"What the two gentlemen said is reasonable!" Guan Yan turned around and sat down slowly, looking at the two of them: "Is there any good solution?"
Guan Yan's humble attitude of accepting advice made Xi Zhicai and Ju Su quite satisfied. Xi Zhicai gently twisted his beard and said, "Ding Yuan had a only son named Ding Yue. Although he was not talented, he was also loyal and honest. The lord could submit it to the emperor: if Ding Jianyang's achievements were made, his Majesty would follow him. If the lord did not personally take Bingzhou, the party members would probably have no words to stop him!"
Guan Yan nodded and was about to speak, but Ju Su held Guan Yan's arm again: "In addition, the lord can order General Zhang Yan to lead more than a thousand cavalry to go south to Taihang and harass the counties of Bingzhou. The party members saw the situation and knew that Bingzhou was not a good place, and they would not have the intention to get involved!"
These two stings, Guan Yan blinked his eyes and said in his heart: Let’s talk less in the future!
Ten days later, all officials will meet.
Emperor Liu Bian of Han sat upright on the dragon throne. The fourteen-year-old King of Chenliu Liu Xie was also ordered by Liu Bian to enter the court to participate in politics two months ago. At this time, he was in high spirits and stood on the golden ranks, very heroic.
"Well? Where is the Central Secret Service?" Liu Bian asked loudly in a childish voice: "Your Majesty has arrived, why haven't you sang in the court?"
The Central Secretariat looked at Liu Bian timidly: "King Chenliu, General Ji Ling said that people are not yet in harmony!"
Liu Bian glared at his eyes and was about to scold him, but Ji Ling outside the door shouted loudly: "General Cavalry is here~"
I saw a man slowly walking into the hall, wearing a black official uniform, with red fire patterns embroidered on his collar, and the collar was separated from the middle, and thin chains made of silver wires were shuttled between the collar, revealing the layered clothes inside, with brocades of the same color tied to the outer robe, and the red ribbons were decorated with agate and jade rings of the same color, which was very pleasant to walk.
Who else can this person be? Naturally, he is the first person in the dynasty: Guan Yan and Guan Wende!
Guan Yan lightly pressed the hilt of the sword with his right hand, held the tablet in his left hand, slowly walked up to the golden stairs, stood opposite Liu Xie, looking around at the hall, and the ministers bowed one after another, and Guan Yan bowed and smiled and replied.
As for Liu Xie, who was standing opposite Guan Yan, Guan Yan just glanced at him and did not deliberately respond to Liu Xie. This was to give Liu Xie a warning. Liu Xie and his elder brother Liu Bian have completely different personalities. Liu Xie is kind-hearted and simple, while Liu Xie is good at scheming and has a deep sense of scheming.
Liu Xie came to Liu Bian two months ago to express his request to participate in politics. Liu Bian was quite acknowledged his younger brother's ability, and having his closest relatives participate in the government affairs was also a share of pressure for him. He immediately agreed to Liu Xie's request.
But on the first day of Liu Xie's court, he reported to the emperor: Guan Yan said that he had been sick for a long time, and it has never been heard from ancient times. If he is really sick, he should retain his title and resign and give him a virtuous position; if he is falsely sick, he should be cured for the crime of deceiving the king.
A stone caused a thousand waves, Yuan Wei and Wang Yun's party, of course, applauded and agreed; Ma Riyi and other neutral old ministers and ministers from Guan Yan's faction tried their best to oppose it.
Liu Bian was already inclined toward Guan Yan, and the voice in the court was obviously beneficial to Guan Yan, so he immediately rejected Liu Xie's request.
Of course, this matter could not escape Guan Yan's ears, so he immediately sent someone to investigate. It turned out that on the night before the court meeting, Liu Xie had visited Yuan Wei's mansion at night.
That's very clear. Since you, Liu Xie and Yuan Wei, don't blame me for being rude. This is why Guan Yan is ignorant of Liu Xie's attitude today.
Liu Xie looked at the man opposite, and felt mixed feelings in his heart. He had thousands of words in his heart, but he said nothing. After the last incident, Liu Xie felt reckless, and now Guan Yan is in front of him, he couldn't help feeling a little nervous. Liu Xie let out a long sigh and made up his mind to bow to Guan Yan: "General Cavalry!"
Guan Yan smiled slightly and replied, "King Chenliu!"
