Chapter Ninety-Five: The Turmoil in Luoyang
In other words, what happened in Luoyang? This still has to start from the beginning.
A few days ago, in the Eastern Han Dynasty Council.
"The leader of the alliance, the minister believes that Liu Ke of Yizhou acted recklessly and arbitrarily killed Zhang Lu, a member of the Standing Committee of the Central Committee of the All-School League, and should be punished according to the law. "A middle-aged man who sat on the left side of Emperor Han Shaodi was the first one. This middle-aged man is naturally the representative of his relatives, the general He Jin, the first powerful person in the Eastern Han Dynasty.
He was very unhappy about Zhang Lu's death, Zhang Lu can be said to be his confidant, Hanzhong has always been his base, Zhang Lu can separate Hanzhong from Yizhou, and after killing Liu Xun and Liu Kang, he is still safe, relying on the general He Jin.
He also knew that Rex was not wrong in this matter, it was impossible for him to kill Rex, and his lion opened his mouth widely, just to pave the way for the next bargaining.
"General, it's not good at this time, this time it was Hanzhong University that took the lead in attacking, and Liu Ke was just defending Yizhou University. Emperor Han Shaodi frowned, he really didn't want to blame Rex.
In the eyes of the little emperor, the Han family is in decline, and finally there is a capable person in the same clan, so we must vigorously support him, make him stronger, and make the Eastern Han Dynasty stronger.
It's just that He Jin is a general after all, holding heavy troops, and although the little emperor is the leader of the alliance, he lives under the terrifying balance of the two forces of the Ten Standing Servants and He Jin, and he doesn't have much power, so it's still more euphemistic.
"Indeed, General, I think that Liu Ke is also a descendant of the royal family, and it is natural to guard Yizhou, but it is only natural that Zhang Lu ignored the laws of the whole school league and attacked Yizhou University privately, and now he is killed by Liu Ke. "The young emperor is the first person on his right.
He Jin looked at the person opposite with a sharp gaze, Cai Yong, a university scholar, although his position is not high, and he has no force, but his prestige in the Eastern Han Dynasty is too high, and all the scholars admire him, even he He Jin can't easily move him, after all, the strongest force in the world is not him He Jin, nor the Ten Standing Servants, let alone the Young Emperor of the Han Dynasty, but the Scholars, and he can't move Cai Yong before he solves his sworn rival Ten Standing Servants.
Unless he really grasps the power of the world, and the strongest warriors have already taken refuge in him, he can easily move Cai Yong at that time, otherwise his reputation will be greatly harmed.
"Master Cai, what you said is not unreasonable, Liu Ke should be innocent. Emperor Han Shaodi said in a tone as soft as possible, circling around such a group of old political foxes, Emperor Han Shaodi is also very tired, after all, he is still just a child, and even sometimes, Emperor Han Shaodi is thinking about how good it would be if he was not the leader of the alliance.
"Hmph! Not guilty? Don't forget, Hanzhong and Yizhou are one, so why shouldn't Zhang Lu take over Yizhou? How can you talk about guilt?" He Jin's eyes flashed, and he roared loudly, not like a general with a heavy army, but like a butcher.
"This ...... This ...... "Even though Emperor Han Shaodi is precocious, he is only a seven or eight-year-old child, how can he withstand such a fright."
"General, what are you doing?" Cai Yong and the other officials stood up and questioned He Jin.
"It's nothing, I'm just worrying about Your Majesty and stating the facts. He Jinpi smiled and said with a smile.
State the facts?
Who here doesn't know that Hanzhong belongs to Yizhou, and it was not under your command that Zhang Lu openly betrayed Yizhou, otherwise Zhang Lu would not have blatantly killed Liu Xun and Liu Kang no matter how bold he was?
This time it's good, but if it is to be co-opted, it will also be the incorporation of Hanzhong by Yizhou, right? That is, He carries high power, if someone else said this, it is estimated that he would have been sprayed to death with a mouthful of salt soda.
Yizhou University defeated Hanzhong University and took Hanzhong University back to Yizhou, which is a matter of course for everyone to do, and He Jin is here to make trouble.
"General, this is wrong, Hanzhong University has always been subordinate to Yizhou University, and it seems that it has not become an independent university in our whole school league. Emperor Han Shaodi said in a middle-aged voice.
The origin of this middle-aged man is not simple, although he did not find anything earth-shattering in his life, but he gave birth to a good son - Cao Cao, that's right, this person is Cao Cao's biological father Cao Song.
He Jin frowned slightly, he didn't expect that even Cao Song would rise up against him, if he continued like this, I am afraid that he would be the enemy of the entire cabinet, and he would only be cheaper than the ten permanent servants in vain, which was not worth it.
"Lord Cao, this statement is indeed true, but Zhang Lu is a member of the Standing Committee of the Central Committee of the Whole School League after all, and Liu Ke is fighting so wantonly, obviously he does not take my whole school League in his eyes. In particular, listening to what Yuan Shao, the president of the student union of Runan University, said that Liu Ke also recruited three ten evil students expelled from Runan University, and even let one of them serve as the vice president of the student union of Yizhou University, which really disregarded the majesty of the whole school league and must be punished. He Jindao.
"Then I don't know what the general wants?" said Emperor Han Shao with some annoyance. Disrespectful to the Han family, disregarding the majesty of the whole school league? This is you!
In Yichen's opinion, Hanzhong University should be given to Zhang Lu's only son, Zhang Ping, and at the same time, Liu Kexiao should be punished and ordered not to leave Yizhou University for two years. He Jindao.
In the council hall, everyone was stunned by He Jin's words, what does this guy want to do? Is this still reasonable? It's okay to beat people, but this defense is guilty? Although except for a few people this time, everyone is a person who can reverse black and white, but it is not so upside down!
"No! General, this is wrong, Liu Ke just guarded Yizhou, and he didn't have any crimes, how could he just deal with it like this?
"What the alliance leader said is reasonable, but is the general really intimidating the alliance leader by reversing black and white in such a way? What does the general want to do? Is he thinking of establishing himself as the king?" A voice that was neither yin nor yang sounded.
In the entire Xiyang Palace, who dared to confront He Jin in person and talk like this, who else was there except Zhang Rang, the head of the ten permanent servants.
"Zhang Rang, what nonsense are you talking about, I am loyal to the alliance leader, and I allow you to slander at will. He Jin looked at Zhang Rangxuan with a fierce gaze, and the vast coercion came out of him, and for a while, Emperor Han Shaodi felt that he was in a violent wind, and his heart was pressed by a boulder.
"General, why be angry? Zhang Rang smiled without yin or yang, but his face did not change, and a powerful momentum also erupted on his body, and he did not fall behind in the confrontation with He Jin.
The entire council hall is like being in a tornado at this time, under the attack of two masters, how can a group of civil servants who have no martial arts or have low martial arts can withstand it?
"Hmph!" He Jin snorted coldly, and immediately put away his momentum, the martial arts radius of the two people is eight taels, no one is afraid of anyone, and if they continue to fight like this, they will not be able to tell the winner or lose, and they will hurt Emperor Han Shaodi, which will outweigh the losses, after all, Emperor Han Shaodi is still the nominal leader of the alliance.
Zhang Rang smiled, and also retracted his momentum and said with a smile: "General, why be angry, it's just a joke for a while." The loyalty of the general, our family naturally knows. ”
Hanzhong originally belonged to Yizhou, and it was normal for Liu Ke to capture Hanzhong, not to mention that Zhang Lu's immature waste in Hanzhong launched the attack first, and who could complain if he was killed? The slave thought that not only should Liu Ke not be punished, but also greatly rewarded Liu Ke and named him a fixed military candidate. After Zhang Rang finished speaking, he knelt down and pleaded.
He had come early in the morning, but he had only appeared until now.
Not to mention that Rex gave him most of the money and grain in Yizhou very good, even if there is no such thing, he also has to protect Rex, the enemy's strength has become weaker, then his strength has become relatively stronger, but Rex is so good, Zhang Rang is worthy of Rex's money, and give Rex a good position.
"This move is absolutely impossible, the alliance leader please punish Liu Ke heavily. He Jin also knelt down and pleaded.
As soon as Zhang Rang and He Jin knelt like this, a large number of people immediately knelt down in the council hall, and the two groups of people led by He Jin and Zhang Rang knelt down together at this moment.
There are only a few neutral people who are only loyal to the Han family, so they do not kneel together, they are only loyal to Liu Xie, the young emperor of the Han Dynasty, and do not participate in this power struggle.
The two strongest forces in Xiyang Palace have been facing each other for the first time since a confrontation a few years ago.
One should be rewarded, the other should be punished, two completely different opinions.
If Emperor Shaodi of the Han Dynasty is still embarrassed and entangled, after all, these two forces usually oppose and quarrel, all for the sake of grabbing interests, no matter whose opinion it is, he does not support it, because no matter which one is stronger, it is a weakening of his strength and the weakening of the strength of the Han family.
But now it's different, Zhang Rang's opinions coincide with his thoughts, no matter what Zhang Rang's plans are, but if he can make Liu Ke stronger and the Liu family stronger, it will be a good thing for him.
"What the two said is reasonable, Liu Ke repelled the soldiers in Hanzhong and subdued Hanzhong, there is nothing to say, there is no transgression, but Zhang Lu first disobeyed the leadership of Yizhou and established himself as the king, and then attacked Yizhou colleges and universities without authorization, ignoring the whole school league of our school, and now he is punished, but he deserves it. Emperor Han Shaodi said lightly, and directly defined Rex killing Zhang Lu.
He Jin's face changed, although Emperor Han Shaodi did not have any real power, but he was still nominally the leader of the whole school alliance, holding the power of the world, before she spoke, he could manipulate him, but after this opening, it was difficult to change.
Especially now that there is Zhang Rang against him, this is even more troublesome, after all, the strength of him and Zhang Rang is between the best, neither of them is stronger than the other, forming a terrifying balance, but Emperor Han Shaodi is the weight that can change the balance, although it is very light, but people can really change it, but if it changes, the fate of Emperor Han Shaodi is almost going to death.
However, it is also a fact that Liu Ke recruited ten evil students, and it was indeed a violation of the law of the whole school league, so he was grounded for two years according to the general's words, but Yizhou University was changed to Yizhou, and Liu Ke was not allowed to leave Yizhou without permission for two years. "Emperor Han Shao said. He didn't want to do this, but he couldn't give He Jin no face at all, so he had to sell face to He Jin.
Sure enough, when he heard this, He Jin's complexion immediately changed a lot.
"However, Liu Ke is a descendant of my royal family after all, and now his achievements are extraordinary, and he should be rewarded, and Liu Ke should be appointed as a candidate for the army and become one of the Standing Committee members of the Central Committee. "Emperor Han Shao said.
Hearing this, He Jin and Zhang Rang's faces changed, and Dingjunhou was just that, although the reputation was good and majestic enough, but the teacher said that the real power was limited, if it was a peaceful and prosperous world, the power would be easy to say, but now the power is in the hands of the two of them, and how much power Dingjunhou has, it is not the two of them.
But this Central Standing Committee member also has a certain amount of real power, if something really happens, if there is any big decision, Rex has the right to speak, although it is not big, but the ghost knows if it will be because of such a loss of right to speak, the balance of victory and defeat between the two of them will be tilted.
"Obey the orders of the alliance leader. ”
Those courtiers who were loyal to Emperor Shao of Han immediately knelt down and said respectfully.
Seeing that the matter has come to this, Zhang Rang first spoke in favor of congratulations, after all, he and Rex can still be regarded as allies who help each other at the moment, Rex becoming stronger, although it is not necessarily a good thing for him, it is not necessarily a bad thing, what is the trouble, what does it have to do with himself.
He Jin saw that even Zhang Rang obeyed, and he could only accept this fact aggrievedly, and could only hope that before Rex grew up, he would win the world.
