The next day was the routine court meeting.
There were two kinds of court discussions in the Eastern Han Dynasty. One was the "court discussion" where the emperor personally participated and the monarch and his subjects played against each other.
The other way was for the officials to discuss it among themselves and finally report the results to the emperor for filing.
It was called a meeting.
In these years, Liu Hong rarely participated in court meetings. Most court meetings were collective meetings.
This was because it was more convenient. He only needed to stamp and record it.
He could leave such a small matter to Zhang Rang, Zhao Zhong, and the others, and he could seize the time to indulge in pleasure.
The ministers were already used to this.
But today, something shocking happened!
Emperor Ling of Han, Liu Hong, who had not attended the court assembly for a long time, was here for the first time!
In De Yang Hall, the ministers looked at each other.
"Your Majesty, why are you here? Did something big happen?”
The officials hurriedly bowed.
From the corner of his eyes, he sized up Liu Hong, Zhang Rang, Zhao Zhong, and the others as he pondered.
"Dear ministers, today's court discussion is about the position of the Prefecture Overseers of the various provinces.”
As soon as Liu Hong opened his mouth, Taichang Qing Liu Yan, who was in the crowd, revealed an excited expression.
He had planned for a long time, inciting Liu Hong to abolish the provincial governor and change the position of the Prefecture Overseer, just to use his identity as a member of the imperial clan to get a Prefecture Overseer position.
In his opinion, the Great Han Dynasty was currently in chaos.
He might as well go to the remote Jiaozhou and be a local emperor.
But later, he heard others say that " Yizhou has the aura of a Son of Heaven ", so he changed his target to Yizhou Mu.
"Finally, the conclusion is set!”
Liu Yan took a deep breath and quietly waited for Zhang Rang to announce the edict.
The ministers also listened solemnly.
Zhang Rang took out an imperial edict, unfolded it, and slowly read it out.
Liu Yan was not in the mood to listen to the nonsense in the edict. All his attention was on the appointment of the Prefecture Overseer.
Finally, he heard his own name.
"Huang Wan of the Imperial Household is the Prefecture Overseer of Yuzhou!"
"Minister Liu Yan is the herdsman of Yizhou!”
Hearing this, Liu Yan heaved a sigh of relief.
However, what Zhang Rang said next made him dumbfounded.
" Chen Xiao of Jizhou Prefecture is the Overseer of Youzhou Prefecture!"
Whoosh!
The huge Deyang Palace Hall was in an uproar!
"Chen Xiao is the Overseer of Youzhou?"
"Who is this person? Why have I never heard of it?"
"According to the previous discussions, shouldn't the position of Youzhou Prefecture's Overseer be assumed by Liu Bo 'an?!”
" Why would His Majesty suddenly change people?!"
"And it's someone I've never heard of!!”
"What does Your Majesty mean by this? How could he change something that had already been decided? Where did this put Liu Bo 'an? Where will all the ministers go?"
The ministers were shocked and couldn't help but whisper.
Everyone looked at Liu Yu, who was standing in front of the crowd.
As the Zong Zheng of the Han Dynasty, Liu Yu was the Zong Bo of Han Ling Emperor Liu Hong. He was in charge of the Zong Zheng Mansion and had a high prestige in the court. In addition, he had once served as the provincial governor of Youzhou and was deeply loved by the people. Even the Wuhuan and Xianbei races respected him.
Last year, Zhang Chun, the governor of Zhongshan, joined forces with Zhang Ju, Wuhuan Qiu Liju, and others to launch a rebellion.
He gathered more than 100,000 people and caused trouble in Youzhou, Jizhou and Qingzhou.
The imperial court sent Jia Cong, the governor of Jizhou, and General Gongsun Zan to exterminate the bandits. In the beginning, Gongsun Zan had indeed won a great victory, but he had gone deep alone and was actually surrounded by Qiu Liju's Wuhuan army in Guan Zhong City!
It had been a long time!
Therefore, the imperial court had originally wanted Liu Yu to be the Prefecture Overseer of Youzhou!
He wanted to use Liu Yu's prestige among the non-humankind to eradicate the rebellion and stabilize the situation in Youzhou!
This matter was basically settled!
Who would have thought that Liu Hong would suddenly go back on his word when he announced the appointment?!
He even conferred such an important position as the governor of Youzhou to a nameless person?!
This was simply preposterous!
"Your Majesty…"
Liu Yu was shocked and quickly said.
He was an honest man, and he didn't care about the official position of the Overseer of Youzhou. He just didn't want to see Liu Hong change his mind and ignore the lives of the people of Youzhou.
There were many people who had the same thoughts.
Minister Lu Zhi, Minister Zheng Tai, Minister Huang Wan, Wei Wei Yang Biao, Grand Servant Zhu Wei and the others stood out almost at the same time as Liu Yu.
"Your Majesty, you can't!"
"The position of Prefecture Overseer is extremely important. How can it be handed over to a nameless person?!”
"Especially the Mu of Youzhou, who is responsible for suppressing the rebellion of Zhang Chun and Zhang Ju!!”
"Not only is this illegal, but it will also put the people of Youzhou in danger. Once this gets out, I'm afraid the world will be disappointed!!”
"Your Majesty, please retract your order and choose another talented person!!”
These people were probably the last conscience of the Eastern Han court. They spoke one after another, and all of them were filled with righteous indignation.
He hoped that Liu Hong would learn from his mistakes.
Liu Hong was shocked.
He had never expected that his edict would cause such a huge uproar in the imperial court."What do you mean by this? Do you doubt my orders?!”
"I dare not question Your Majesty!"
Without waiting for Liu Yu to speak, Lu Zhi spoke first,"May I ask Your Majesty, who is that Chen Xiao? What talents do you have? What official position did he hold? What qualifications do you have to be the governor of Youzhou Province?"
"This…"
Liu Hong was speechless and couldn't help but look at Zhang Rang.
How would he know what kind of talent Chen Xiao had? He only knew that Chen Xiao was rich, and especially rich.
Zhang Rang pondered for a moment and was about to speak.
A burst of laughter suddenly rang out from the courtiers."Hahaha, I can answer your question.”
Everyone looked over and was stunned.
The person who spoke was actually Great General He Jin!
