Chapter 23 Clothes and Belts

In recent days, with Yuan Yao's series of high-profile actions, he has been completely under the surveillance of the senior management of the Western Liang Army.

During this period, Li Jue was very suspicious of his behavior of not persuading him to send troops eastward, but instead visiting the court's ministers, or going to Tai Academy to gather with the scholars.

He was now completely unable to figure out what Yuan Yao intended.

For a moment, Li Jue suddenly felt a little annoyed and regretted agreeing to Jia Xu to resign and return home.

This...If Jia Xu had planned from the side, he would have been able to see through Yuan Yao's conspiracy.

...

Just after the top leaders of Xiliang focused their attention on Yuan Yao, they ignored the precautions of the palace and the emperor.

Since the Western Liang army first broke Chang'an and controlled the government for a while, the political situation was still unstable, Li Jue and others did not completely break up with the emperor and the ministers and the ministers, and retained the most basic etiquette.

This also leads to the lack of strict control over the palace.

Since Cui Zhouping conspired with Yuan Yao, he returned home to discuss countermeasures with the minister Ma Yu, how to take advantage of the opportunity to enter the palace to face the holy and quietly ask the emperor for the imperial edict to serve the king.

Finally, it was agreed that Cui Zhouping already had a good idea.

Cui Mansion.

Secret room.

"My nephew will quietly enter the palace secretly during this period and ask for your Majesty to see you, and place a set of court robes with secret sleeves at Your Majesty's bedroom. At that time, my uncle will take the opportunity of facing the holy and quietly follow His Majesty back to the palace to seek the imperial edict and place it in the secret sleeve I designed."

"In this way, even if you are subject to Xiliang's inspection, you can still get away with it. This is an edict of clothing and belts!"

After saying that, Cui Zhouping slowly got up and walked to a place where he took out his court clothes with his hands and held them in front of Ma Yu, and said solemnly: "Uncle took the time to go to the tailor shop these days to design a set of clothing of this type."

"Okay! I've recorded it for my uncle."

The two of them discussed for a short time and decided on the plan, but at this moment, Ma Yu couldn't help but look suspicious and asked: "Nephew, is this really going to be so troublesome?"

"If there is no edict to support the king, it is impossible to contact Han Sui, Ma Teng and other Liangzhou forces to raise an army?"

Seeing Ma Yu revealing a question, Cui Zhouping pondered for a while and then explained in detail: "Uncle, now the Western Liang army has just broken Chang'an, and its momentum is striking the counties and counties in the Three Assistants Longyou. The strength of the princes and divisions of Liangzhou is too scattered, just like a pile of sand. How can we develop the courage to jointly attack the Western Liang army?"

"I'm afraid even if Ma Teng and Han Sui want to respond, they can't do anything."

After saying this, he suddenly changed his mind and said, "But if there is an edict to pay homage to the king, the meaning will be very different."

"At least Han Sui, Ma Teng and others have a legitimate reason to gather the princes of Liangzhou to raise troops to attack the Western Liang army, and secondly, they can also boost their power and courage for the princes of Liangzhou."

"Let them know that they are not rioters, but are just troops who represent the Han court to clear the king and fight against treacherous ministers and traitors to defend the glory of the Han Dynasty."

Finally, Cui Zhouping looked stern again and said seriously: "Of course, the most important thing is to let the emperor promise in the edict that after the matter is completed, all the heroes who fight against the thieves will be enthroned as meritorious deeds."

"The people of Liangzhou are already in the border areas. If they were placed in peacetime, it would be extremely difficult for them to enter the court to become officials. The imperial edict for the king is equivalent to giving them a reassurance. They are willing to inspire their sense of fame and fortune, so they will raise their troops without hesitation."

"Even if we can promise all the princes to be promoted, the so-called emperor's words must be made personally and presented to the edict to show his right to speak."

For a moment, with Cui Zhouping's patient explanation, Ma Yu realized why he had to call for the king so complicated and difficult.

"It seems that my nephew is more thoughtful, but my uncle and colleagues did not expect these matters, so my nephew appeared in time and took remedial measures for this plan."

"Otherwise, I'm afraid this strategy will be very likely to fail in the end."

After hearing Cui Zhouping's analysis, Ma Yu suddenly realized that he immediately realized the many loopholes in this plan. If he had not repaired the pit in time, he would have filled in the pit.

Ma Yu is really worried about the possibility of success in this plan.

"Uncle is overly worried!"

Upon hearing this, Cui Zhouping showed a serious look on his face and bowed: "With your closeness to your father, your nephew should help you as a junior, not to mention that this is a major event for the country and the people, and it is related to the Han country. The Cui family's family's family and Han fortune should also share the worries of the country."

A strong and powerful speech made Ma Yu, who was standing beside him, was very happy. His smile seemed to be so bright that he couldn't stop smiling. So he twisted his beard under the mouth and said with a smile: "Zhouping has the ambition to serve the Han Dynasty. I believe Mr. Cui will rest in peace under the nine springs!"

"Uncle praised it."

Seeing Ma Yu trusting him so much, Cui Zhouping suddenly felt a little unbearable... He deceived him and the other ministers in the court who participated in the planning...

Helping to participate in the planning of the princes of Liangzhou to raise troops was not to eliminate traitors such as Li Jue, but to ensure that Yuan Yao's plan to divide the generals of Xiliang could be implemented safely.

As long as Ma Teng and others can raise troops to invade Sanfu and order the Xiliang army to dispatch large troops to quell the rebellion, then Yuan Yao's plan to divide and disintegrate the Xiliang army will be gradually realized.

By then, it is no longer important whether Ma Teng and others can break through Chang'an and eliminate evil and rebellious things.

"Uncle, I'm sorry, for the young master's plan, Jun can only choose to let you down."

For a moment, Cui Zhouping felt very guilty, but when he thought of Yuan Yao's great cause, he suddenly became firm.

Because, he had decided to officially join the Yuan camp after returning to Guanzhong.

At this moment, Ma Yu was still immersed in joy and did not notice any change in Cui Zhouping's expression.

He was still excited about Cui Jun's ambition to serve the country and the people.

Next.

In order to allow Cui Jun to get close to the emperor at times, the minister Ma Yu began to secretly imitate the ministers and persuade them to recommend Cui Zhouping as the position of Taifu.

Since the son is young and has no children yet, the Grand Tutor will be able to enter the palace to guide the young emperor Liu Xie.

This is the plan Ma Yu thought about.

If Cui Zhouping wanted to enter and exit the deep palace freely under the eyes and ears of Li Jue and others, then this would be the most suspicious plan.

on the other hand.

Cui Zhouping was not an important official in the court, so he would not have much resistance to electing him as the Grand Tutor.

After the ministers contacted each other, at the court meeting, Ma Yu, the minister of the court unanimously proposed the idea of ​​appointing Cui Zhouping as the Grand Tutor and was responsible for teaching the emperor. After hearing this suggestion, General Li Jue, the chariot and cavalry, did not want Yuan Yao's men to enter the court to share food, and was about to stand up and refuse.

But he found that the ministers seemed to have discussed it, and even bowed: "Ma Shizhong's words are great, and I agree with it."

It was fine if the ministers and ministers agreed, but at the critical moment, the Taiwei Huangfu Song, who did not contact him first, spoke generously: "Your Majesty, the old minister's words are attached to the old minister!"

"Zhouping, the second son of the late Duke Cui, has been smart and studious since he was a child. Since he served as the prefect of Xihe, he has also rectified the security of the county and encouraged the farming and sericulture, making the people in the county extremely rich and have achieved great political achievements."

"I don't worry, I'm sure."

For a moment, with Huangfu Song's participation, the matter was basically settled.

Li Jie couldn't even find the chance to refuse.

After all, Huangfu Song's reputation has long been the best in the world, and his advice can basically influence the emperor's resolutions.

Li Jue glared at Huangfu Song in gloomyness, and then left fiercely.

When Li Jue, Guo Si, Fan Chou and others left one after another, the emperor Liu Xie, who was only twelve years old, said loudly in a slightly immature tone: "Since the Taiwei's proposal is attached, I will accept the report!"

"Your Majesty's wiseness."

Seeing that the matter was settled, Ma Yu's heart calmed down a little.

The most worrying thing about his proposal was that Li Jue and others forced to refuse, but Huangfu Song's sudden kick made the matter pass smoothly.
