Chapter 0171: The Clash of Forces
Peng Yu waved his hand and led everyone to leave Luoyang Prison quickly, hurried to Wolongzhuang, killed people, and after the anger disappeared, he immediately knew that he was in trouble this time, and hurried back to Zhuang to discuss with Jia Xu how to get through this difficulty.
Peng Yu told Jia Xu what had happened, and Jia Xu didn't seem to be in such a hurry.
Peng Yu immediately asked, "But there is still a call for help?" β
Jia Xu sighed and shook his head.
Peng Yu was shocked, is this hopeless? How big is it, isn't it?
Jia Xu said lightly, "Childe is General Zhendong, what's the point of killing some jailers?" β
Peng Yu almost jumped on the spot, didn't you mean to scare Lao Tzu.
Jia Xu continued, "It's just that Luoyang Ling is also a Han minister, and he was killed by Gongzi, which is a bit tricky." β
If it's a little tricky, it means that the problem is not big, and even if it's very tricky, extremely tricky, then you have to kill it.
Peng Yu was much more relieved, and hurriedly saluted, "Please also teach me, sir." β
Jia Xu squinted his eyes and said, "I think that since the Luoyang Order is aimed at Peng Gong and is surnamed Dong, this person must be related to Dong Chong, and he must also be related to the Queen Mother. β
Peng Yu nodded again and again, "What Mr. said is very true, I don't know how to deal with it?" β
Jia Xu said, "Childe immediately went to find the two of them, as long as these two people spoke for Childe, Childe will be safe, and other things can be handled by Xu." β
Peng Yu nodded again and again, "Who?" β
Jia Xu said: "He Jin and Zhang Rang! β
Peng Yu understood that He Jinnai was the leader of the military attachΓ©s, Zhang Rangnai was the leader of the eunuchs, one led the public opinion of the ministers, and the other influenced His Majesty's decision-making.
And He Jin is not only the leader of the ministers, don't forget that there is a Queen He behind him.
Without further ado, Peng Yu immediately went to visit He Jin and Zhang Rang, He Jin and Dong Chong have always been incompatible, Peng Yu killed his Dong family, although He Jin blamed Peng Yu for being ruthless and killing too much, but the smile on the corner of his eyebrows could not be hidden, He Jin regarded Peng Yu as a big help to himself, and immediately entered the palace to discuss with Queen He and asked how to deal with this matter.
Zhang Rang remembered that he still owed Peng Yu a favor, and this matter could be big or small, depending on what he said, and he also promised to say a few good words for Peng Yu, of course, Peng Yu's thank you fee was also a huge amount.
As for Jia Xu, he also went out immediately and didn't know where to go.
β¦β¦β¦β¦
Luoyang, Imperial Palace, Hehuan Palace.
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, you have to be the master of the old minister......" Dong Chong trembled, rushed into the Hehuan Hall with tears in his eyes, knelt on the ground and kowtowed and cried.
"Dong Aiqing, get up and speak, why are you crying like this, come with me." Liu Hong looked at Dong Chong's dozens of years old crying so miserably, and he couldn't bear it.
Dong Zhong knelt on the ground and kowtowed, crying more than "Your Majesty, Peng Yu was bold, led the troops into Luoyang Prison, washed the Luoyang Command Office in blood, and burned the Luoyang Order Office to ashes with a fire, poor my brother Luoyang Ling Dong Wu, also suffered from Peng Yu's poisonous hands, Your Majesty, Peng Yu was bold and killed innocents, you have to make the decision for me......
"What?" Liu Hong got up suddenly, he couldn't believe his ears.
Liu Hong pointed at Dong Chong and said sharply, "What you said is true? β
Dong Zhong gritted his teeth and said, "Your Majesty, it's true, in broad daylight, Peng Yu has no king's law, and he took his personal guards to kill all the 137 people in the Luoyang Command Office, and he didn't leave a single living mouth, Your Majesty, Your Majesty ......"
Liu Hong glared at Gao Wang angrily and asked him to quickly check whether this matter was true.
Gao Wang was also dumbfounded, and immediately took the order.
Dong Chongyu couldn't stop crying, and Liu Hong said sharply, "Dong Aiqing, you go back first, I will call the shots for you." β
Dong Chong cried to death and said loudly, "Thank you, Your Majesty"
Dong Chong still seemed to be heartbroken, he stumbled a few times when he got up, almost fell, and after staggering out of the palace gate, he put away his tears, he didn't seem to be so sad, and muttered to himself with an angry face, "Peng Yu, Peng Yu, the old man sees that you have to lose your skin if you don't die this time, Dong Wu, you are not unjust."
β¦β¦
The relationship between Gao Wang and Peng Yu is not ordinary, although Gao Wang received the holy decree to investigate the situation, but His Majesty did not limit the time, Gao Wang naturally knew that Peng Yu must be moving around, wanting to suppress this matter, and His Majesty's anger will become weaker and weaker with time, so what Peng Yu needs is time!
Gao Wang took unhurried steps and slowly went to Luoyang Prison to verify the matter.
He Jin immediately entered the palace to explain the matter to Queen He, Queen He was in a good mood, Peng Yu cut the people of the Dong family, this was a tear in the face, and Peng Yu's attitude repeatedly made Queen He very satisfied.
Even when He Jin said that he scolded Peng Yu, Queen He also scolded He Jin and said, "There is such a bright fast knife in the He family's forces, why not do it?" Take 10,000 steps back, even if this fast knife is broken, there will be no loss with the He family, of course, the brighter the better. β
He Jin could only nod yes.
Empress He said again: "This good knife must not be broken easily, if this matter is handled well, it can suppress the arrogance of the Dong family, second, make friends with a large number of courtiers, and third, explain to the people of the world that the people who follow the Dong family will die, and the people of the He family will live!" β
He Jin understood what Queen He meant, Peng Yu was protected, this fast knife is the He family's fast knife, it can cut people's heads at any time, and it can't be easily broken, at least this time.
So He Jin immediately returned home and urgently summoned the generals to discuss the matter.
Empress He even thought that the Queen Mother would definitely make a hindrance from it, and she would definitely treat Peng Yu to death, Queen He naturally couldn't let the Empress Dowager Dong agree, otherwise the He family might not be able to raise their heads, and immediately rushed to the Hehuan Palace.
Jia Xu's movements were also extremely fast, and all the ministers who had a good relationship with Peng Bo and others all brought a sentence in their families: "Peng Bo was bullied by Luoyang Ling in prison, and his son was angry and killed Luoyang Ling to avenge his father." β
I have to say that this slogan is extremely loud, you must know that the most important thing in the Eastern Han Dynasty is filial piety, the son kills for the father, not only will not be scolded by everyone, but will arouse the sympathy of everyone, so the ministers faintly admired Peng Yu, but ignored his murder.
Dong Zhong also rushed to Yongle Palace to tell the Queen Mother, the Queen Mother was furious, although what Dong Wu, the Queen Mother had never seen or even heard of it, but Peng Yu dared to kill the people of the Dong family without authorization, that would definitely not work, the Queen Mother had a heart, and Peng Yu must pay for her life.
Empress Dowager Dong immediately went to the Hehuan Palace.
Peng Yu didn't know that his anger and urgency to kill people would have such a big impact, not only provoked the dispute between He Jin and Dong Chong, but even provoked the power struggle between the Queen Mother and the Empress, and even the entire Luoyang was split into several pieces, all of which poured to His Majesty Liu Hong together!
Hehuan Hall.
The Hehuan Hall is very lively, people who don't know still think that Liu Hong is in the Hehuan Palace, Zhang Rang is also a little speechless, Peng Yu's matter seems to be beyond his control, and Peng Yu is also scolded angrily in his heart, you say you want to kill, secretly kill it or not, you have to kill more than 100 people with great fanfare, this is good, the matter is big.
When He Jin and his entourage stepped into the Hehuan Palace, they found that the Hehuan Hall was full of people, and there were a lot of ministers, and what was even more outrageous was that the Empress Dowager Dong and Empress He were also present, but they didn't speak, just stood quietly on the side.
He entered the hall before he could speak, only to hear Liu Hong frown and say, "What, He Jin, you are also here to explain to me what happened in Luoyang Prison?" β
He Jin nodded, "Exactly"
Liu Hong wrinkled and waved his hand and said, "Needless to say, I'm tired of hearing it."
He Jindao "yes" immediately stood aside and stopped talking.
Everyone stood quietly aside, as if Liu Hong was waiting for someone.
Soon, Gao Wang finally returned to the Hehuan Palace, and as soon as he entered the temple gate, he was startled, and almost thought that he had gone to the wrong place.
Liu Hong saw Gao Wang's return and shouted, "Why has it been so long? β
Gao Wang immediately said, "The situation is complicated, and I have to be careful to verify it." β
Liu Hong frowned and said, "Hurry up and talk to me one by one." β
Gao Wang was secretly bitter in his heart, he really didn't expect that the Queen Mother was here, no matter how he said it, he had to offend one side clearly, and he was a little uneasy in his heart, and suddenly saw Zhang Rang quietly giving himself a look, Gao Wang and Zhang Rang have cooperated for many years, so they naturally know what it means.
Since one party must be offended, the surnamed Dong has no relationship with Lao Tzu, so he has to be sorry, and immediately explained the situation in Luoyang Prison one by one as soon as he gritted his teeth, and said that Dong Wu's battle bully was three points stronger, and the implication was that Peng Yu's anger and murder were somewhat excusable, the Queen Mother glared at Gao Wang angrily, snorted coldly, and Gao Wang also scolded Peng Yu in his heart for dragging himself into the water, but he was helpless.
Hearing what Gao Wang said, the people of the Dong faction immediately expressed their dissatisfaction, pointing out that Sang scolded Huai for directly targeting the He faction, and the He faction was naturally not to be outdone and ridiculed each other.
The strength of the two gangs was so loud that they were very happy.
Liu Hong has the intention of turning big things into small things, and turning small things into small things will not protect Peng Yu, but the Queen Mother's face will be swept away, but Liu Hong can take down Peng Yu because of such a small matter, not to mention that so many ministers in this Hehuan Hall are dissatisfied, even Liu Hong himself is a little dissatisfied, thinking about it, Liu Hong himself is not angry, but thinking about how to balance this matter.
Everyone didn't count Liu Hong, when everyone was arguing about this matter, Liu Hong was even faintly excited, how to make this matter happy? Liu Hong actually used this incident to become a businessman.
In the end, Liu Hong shouted loudly, "I have made up my mind, I will dismiss General Peng Yu Zhendong and order him to return home to think about it behind closed doors, as for Wang Yun, Peng Bo, Cai Yong and others are also my old ministers, let them go, and worship Dong Zhong as General Zhendong instead of Peng Yu to guard the tiger prison, this matter can no longer be discussed." "Immediately send the people out of the hall of Hehuan.
To say that Liu Hong's handling of this matter is really a bit ingenious, Peng Yu killed so many people, and he didn't even take them into prison, and he didn't even come to Hehuan Hall for questioning, this is undoubtedly a major victory for Queen He, and He faction is satisfied.
The courtiers were of course extremely satisfied when they saw that Peng Yu had nothing to say and released the imprisoned minister.
And the Empress Dowager Dong is even more satisfied, Dong Chong was crowned as the general of Zhendong, that is the general who has the actual military power to lead the army, the yellow scarf outside the Tiger Prison Pass has been defeated by Peng Yu, it is the time to consolidate the victory, after this Dong Chong goes, once he makes new contributions, he can fight against the general He Jin, and exchange such a big benefit for a person from the Dong family, the Queen Mother is overjoyed.
Dong Chong even thought in his heart, "This Dong Wu's death is too worthwhile" You must know that although this Dong Wu is related to himself, he is not a close relative, and it is too worth it to exchange his death for a general of Zhendong.
At the moment, the three waves of forces have reached a balance, and the matter is so vaguely decided.
