Chapter 0036: Cloudy
Liu Hong feels like the protagonist of a soapy dog blood drama!
No, it's a supporting role!
The three major grudges in life, but cutting off people's money, killing parents, and then snatching love with a knife.
Qin Mu experienced two of them at once!
Or the same person, the same thing!
After a second of polite mourning in his heart, Liu Hong finally let go of the suspicion in his heart...
- You must know that Qin Mu is also an officer of the Northern Army!
It's okay now, at least Liu Hong can be sure that Qin Mu won't be unfavorable to him; At most, it was out of resentment towards Chen Ping and Zhou Bo, so as to use Liu Hong to achieve his own goal of revenge.
As a later generation, compared with the illusory 'loyalty', Liu Hong is still more accustomed to this kind of brief and clear interest relationship.
At least this is a motivation that Liu Hong can understand.
As for the king's overlord or something?
Stop it~
Letting go of the doubts in his heart, the depression in Liu Hong's heart finally dissipated.
Tomorrow, it will be the usual dynasty again.
Liu Hong doesn't know what kind of dilemma he will face this time.
The three dukes of the court and the central government will not be mentioned, among the nine Qings, Chen Ping and Zhou Bo are the third, and Liu Hong barely controls the most useless Fengchang.
There are five left, and Liu Hong will most likely not be able to arrange candidates.
- Even in the Emperor's Inner Treasury Shaofu, Liu Hong can only watch others bite it clean, let alone talk about anything else.
And the remaining four pits, there is one that Liu Hong is very eager to control.
- Captain!
For the rest, Tingwei is in charge of justice, and Liu Hong has no urgent need to control it; The internal history governs Chang'an, and Liu Hong has no need to stimulate Chen Ping and Zhou Bo because of this.
Zong Zheng, Liu Hong has already planned to directly let Liu Budo concurrently serve - anyway, Zong Zheng is only in charge of the affairs of the royal family, and he belongs to the second-to-last invisible person in Jiuqing, second only to the pawn. Chen Ping and Zhou Bo should not conflict with Liu Hong because of this.
Although he didn't know why, Liu Hong vaguely felt that even now that Liu Hong had actually lost the Northern Army, Chen Ping was still a little jealous of him.
If not, as early as that day, when Liu Hong met Liu Heng, Chen Ping should have hurried into the palace and proposed, 'The acting king has lived in Chang'an for a long time, and if he is not in line with the etiquette, he should be in the country'.
Wei Wei is the one that Liu Hong is most eager to control among the nine Qings!
There is no other reason: the duty of the guard is to defend the imperial city!
Now that the Northern Army has 'jumped ship' again, and the Southern Army is temporarily overwhelmed, Liu Hong urgently needs an armed force to ensure his safety.
He hadn't slept well in days...
What Liu Hong can't ignore is that because the accurate duty of the guard is to 'do his best to take charge of the affairs of the Chang'an guard', the guard naturally has the control of the Chang'an army, that is, the southern and northern armies!
If one of his own people is installed in the position of the guard captain, then Liu Hong will no longer have to be constrained by Chen Ping and Zhou Bo, whether he is dealing with the northern army or reorganizing the southern army.
In the original history, the first thing Liu Heng did after ascending the throne was to appoint Song Chang as General Wei overnight to command the northern and southern armies.
And 'General Wei' is the official position that Liu Heng 'invented' when he couldn't interfere in the Jiuqing election and couldn't control Wei Wei. β
From this alone, it is not difficult to see that Liu Hong wants to control the guard, and it is no less difficult than letting Chen Ping be killed by Emperor Gaozu's thunder!
ββLiu Heng in history didn't do it, and the situation Liu Hong faced was much more difficult than Liu Heng in history...
Between Liu Hong, Chen Ping, and Zhou Bo Group, the contradiction of just a 'killing the monarch' cannot be reconciled no matter what!
There will be a loser on both sides and total destruction from the physical to the spiritual!
Thinking of this, Liu Hong sighed and looked at Qin Mu in front of him.
The young face is full of vitality, and the thick lips have a light layer of beard.
This is important!
In the Han Dynasty, where the selection of officials was basically based on face, a mature and stable appearance was one of the necessary conditions for entering the temple.
The beard is a symbol of a man's maturity - hairless on the mouth, and he can't do things well.
That's right, Qin Mu is the candidate for the guard chosen by Liu Hong; Although the eight sons have not yet been picked, they can control the situation in the shortest time in the future by selecting people first.
Qin Mu was only in his twenties, and he was already a team leader, which meant that his future would be limitless - in the Han Dynasty, the watershed of the officer rank was the team leader Sima.
Sima below is not so much an officer as a disciplinary committee member with a microphone; But it was different from Sima onwards, and the free command in wartime could not only give greater play to the commander's combat talent, but also better hone his command skills.
and being appreciated by a certain high-level general, borrowing a few fragments of military books to copy will lay a solid foundation for the family to become one of the 'generals and officials'.
Wei Wei ranks in Jiuqing, with two thousand stones in the ranks, and a silver seal and blue ribbon; Qin Mu, who is in his twenties, is naturally younger and less qualified.
But this doesn't matter, as long as he can be in power, even if Liu Hong appoints a child as the third duke, the courtiers will only have the share of singing praises.
The more he thought about it, the more he couldn't hold back his excitement, and Liu Hong couldn't help but start thinking about the chips in his hand: What price did it take to push Qin Mu to the position of Wei Lieutenant?
Thinking about it, Liu Hong was frustrated and discovered: unless he is willing to give up the throne, it is impossible at all - he has no bargaining chips at all!
The successive setbacks made the depression accumulated in Liu Hong's heart gradually rise, his patience gradually faded, and his brain was running rapidly, thinking about ways to break the situation.
He still has great ambitions, and he still has a lot of things to do, he doesn't have so much time to spend on the open and secret battles with Chen Ping and Zhou Bo!
Opportunity.
Liu Hong needs an opportunity to win some chips for himself; There is no need to be in full power, as long as he can have a small place of his own, Liu Hong can start his own plan.
It's like sorting out an entangled ball of yarn, and Liu Hong needs a thread to start with.
I really couldn't think of a way to find that 'thread', Liu Hong rubbed his forehead and got up, and asked tiredly: "Has Wang Zhong ever returned to the palace?" β
When the words came out, but he didn't hear Qin Mu's answer for a long time, Liu Hong raised his head in surprise, and saw Qin Mu standing with his fists clenched, his chest rising and falling violently.
Liu Hong chuckled in his heart, trying to maintain a flat expression: "Where are the people?!" β
In fact, what he subconsciously wanted to ask was: Are people still alive...
Hearing this, Qin Muqiang pressed the anger in his chest, took out a roll of bamboo slips from his chest, and bit his tooth socket tightly: "Your Majesty, the prince was arrested by the Shaofu prison in the afternoon, and he escaped from the Shaofu at night, and he suffered a full seventeen wounds!" β
"This book, the prince will forward it to His Majesty..."
The palm trembled slightly and took the bamboo slip, Liu Hong held the bamboo slip in the palm of his hand, and his shoulders trembled faintly.
"Who !! the young government supervisor"

PS: General Wei. The first time this official position appeared, that is, after the death of the young emperor in history, after the king Liu Heng entered Chang'an and ascended the throne, he faced the same problem as the protagonist: it was urgent to ensure the reliability of the palace guards, and there was no way to get involved with the guards, so Liu Heng simply played a trick, and in the name of 'rewarding the ministers of the palace', Song Chang was named 'General Wei', at first Chen Ping and Zhou Bo did not react, and after the official edict was issued, he found that this General Wei was not the official position of a general of the field army, but only responsible for the southern and northern armies, and the high-profile version of the palace Captain of the Guard'.
Liu Heng's operation made the guards in the hands of Chen Ping and Zhou Bo directly meaningless; Liu Heng also began to develop with peace of mind after ensuring the safety of the palace. As for why Liu Heng suddenly became obedient, it is most likely because he thinks that the matter of 'General Wei' has stimulated Chen Ping and Zhou Bo, and if there is any action, something may happen.
