Chapter 399: Designing to Murder Liu Xian
Liu Xian's trip to Beihai this time can be described as a huge gain.
The family affair with Kong Rong's daughter Kong Xue was decided, and he was served by celebrities such as Zheng Xuan and Tao Qiuhong. The main one can also control Beihai through Liu Jie.
It can be said that the development of Liu Xian has really jumped out of the scope of Yangshi County and Liulin Village.
If it weren't for Liu Xian's constant worry that the impact would be too great, Liu Xian would have wanted to do something to the county seat near Yang's County, as well as the three counties of the Plains, Wangfu and Shiyi.
However, Liu Xian knew that if he made too much movement at once, the court would probably be more focused on him.
Sometimes, there is no word for the sin that you want to add? If the court really wants to do something to itself, I'm afraid it doesn't use any excuses.
Just like his own terrible father at the beginning, saying that if you intend to rebel, you are rebelling, if you want to arrest you and put you in prison, you have to go to prison, and whatever crime you want to be charged is what kind of crime you want.
If it came to such a point, Liu Xian would naturally not be as restrained as his father, but he really embarked on the same path as the Yellow Turban Army. With the current Han Dynasty, it is indeed not easy for Liu Xian to stand on the opposite side of the Han Dynasty immediately.
Historically, Dong Zhuo had such a strong strength that he was beaten by the princes of the world and fled to Chang'an, and he failed to truly reign over the world. Liu Xian's current strength is okay to deal with the Yellow Turban Army of 300,000, but it may be a little difficult to deal with more imperial court troops. What's more, if he really stood on the opposite side of the Han Dynasty prematurely, and the imperial army was killed, even if Liu Xian had the resistance of the new city of Liulin Village, he would not be easily destroyed, but in this way, did Liu Xian still want to develop?
Now everything is slowly unfolding, and a development situation has been rolled out, if you want to become a fat man because you are in a hurry, it will only support death.
Therefore, Liu Xian can really only bury his head in development first, run Yangshi County and Liulin Village well, and accumulate money and grain. Beihai County is regarded as a test place for Liu Xian's outward development.
Not to mention that Liu Xian went to Beihai this time and returned with a full load.
Liu Xian went to Beihai, and it has been a month since then. In the past month, Jizhou has changed.
Huangfu Song, the Jizhou pastor, was finally dismissed by the imperial court, including the position of Huangfu Song's left chariot general.
Historically, the reason why Huang Fu Song was dismissed by the imperial court was that when Huang Fu Song led the army to attack Zhang Jiao earlier, he passed through Yecheng and found that the residence of Zhao Zhong, the servant of Zhongchang, in his hometown of Yecheng, exceeded the regulations, so he went to the imperial court and asked the emperor to confiscate it. In addition, Zhang Rang asked Huangfu Song for 50 million money and was refused, which directly offended the two powerful eunuchs in the court, and then they impeached Huangfu Song in front of the emperor for a series of futile battles and wasted money and food. During this period, the emperor had already obeyed Zhang Rang and Zhao Zhongyan, and was extremely favored, so there was a matter of Huangfu Song being dismissed by the imperial court.
coincided with this period, Xiliang Beigong Boyu and other rebels took advantage of Dong Zhuo's passive combat opportunity to invade the Sanfu region. Sanfu is the central region of Later Shaanxi, which is the land of Chang'an and Gyeonggi. Huangfu Song, who was dismissed, was ordered to guard Chang'an and defend the royal garden.
The current situation is actually similar.
Huangfu Song did offend Zhao Zhong as in history, and rejected Zhang Rang's blackmail. But in fact, it was not the fuse for Huangfu Song's dismissal.
In fact, Huangfu Song's offending of Zhao Zhong and Zhang Rang was before the defeat of the Yellow Turban Army. If you want to remove Huangfu Song, you don't have to wait until now, let alone let Huang Fu Song be dismissed after becoming the pastor of Jizhou.
Huang Fu Song did a lot of things after the Yellow Turban Uprising, and the emperor actually trusted Huang Fu Song. You must know that lifting the ban on the party, pardoning the party members in the world, and ordering the righteous people in the world were put forward by Huang Fu Song, and it was Huang Fu Song who defeated the Yellow Turban Army, and Huang Fu Song also played a lot of things to the emperor in a row, and the emperor basically followed Huang Fu Song's opinion. It can be seen that in fact, Huangfu Song is still deeply favored.
Zhang Rang and Zhao Zhong, even if they are deeply favored by the emperor, but when it comes to the problems of the world's society, the emperor can also divide the importance and will not easily disgrace such a pillar of the country.
The main reason why the emperor removed Huang Fu Song, in addition to the relationship between Zhang Rang and Zhao Zhong who kept giving Huang Fu Song's small shoes in front of the emperor, was mainly because Huang Fu Song did not obey the emperor's orders to solve Liu Xian's matter.
A young master of Liufu in Liulin Village, known as the son of the Han clan, has not confirmed whether he is the son of the real Han clan. Where did this come from?
Such a little-known little person, whether in the eyes of those eunuchs and magnates, or in the eyes of the emperor, is an insignificant ant, a little guy who can be crushed to death with one finger.
Such a small person, the emperor has already made a will, let Huang Fu Song make his humanity disappear, but Huang Fu Song actually didn't do it, and also played a tribute to Liu Xian.
If Liu Xiandang is really an insignificant little person, then it is not worth mentioning to kill him and keep him alive. Nothing.
What is annoying is that this kid actually climbed to the plain palace Ma Guiren, became the righteous son of Ma Guiren, and became the nominal young master of the plain palace. This is intolerable.
You must know that the descendants related to the first emperor are a thorn in the heart of the current emperor.
In fact, the emperor would still have nightmares from time to time, dreaming that Emperor Huan accused him of destroying his brother Liu Kui's family.
Anyway, the Plains Mansion has really become a taboo for the current emperor, and in normal times, no one dares to mention the Plains Mansion in front of the emperor.
With this relationship, for the emperor, Liu Xian must die. No matter what the reason is, what great merit there is, Liu Xian must die.
Huangfu Song's performance, Liu Xian's defeat of tens of thousands of Yellow Turban Army, this is really nothing. On the contrary, the emperor suddenly became extremely dissatisfied with Huangfu Song.
However, Huangfu Song is indeed a meritorious person, and he is indeed a rare good general in the imperial court today, and it is not easy to win Huangfu Song for a while.
What's more, at that time, the emperor had already sent Wang Yue to attack Liu Xian. As long as Liu Xian is dead, then forget it.
But the emperor sent Wang Yue to solve Liu Xian, and there was no news about it. This made the Emperor really extremely angry.
When Wang Yue stabbed Liu Xian, the movement at that time was really huge.
It is impossible for Liu Xian to really completely seal the mouths of tens of thousands of people at that time. When the spies of the imperial court came to Liulin Village to inquire, they soon found out what was going on.
Of course, they didn't find out that Wang Yue had already surrendered to Liu Xian and became Liu Xian's personal guard. But they knew that Wang Yue failed to assassinate Liu Xian, but was caught by Liu Xian.
When the emperor heard such information, Long Yan was furious and extremely annoyed on the spot.
Just a little kid, ordered Huangfu Song to solve it, but he didn't do it, and then sent Wang Yue, who is known as the world's first sword, to take the head of the enemy in the army, this actually failed, even Wang Yue was captured, and now he doesn't know whether he is alive or dead. How's that going?
Thinking about it again, you can defeat tens of thousands of Yellow Turban Army, and even super masters can't help it, is this still necessary? In case he wants to rebel, who can control it?
If this guy is allowed to develop, the tail will not fall out when the time comes, and this will add a person who competes with him for the throne? Don't talk about competing with yourself and your son for the throne in the future, is this still necessary?
As a result, the emperor strengthened his determination to eradicate Liu Xian.
The emperor knew that Huangfu Song was a loyal and upright minister, and in the eyes of Huang Fu Song, Liu Xian was a meritorious person, especially when Liu Xian helped the people, so that Liu Xian already had a positive image and prestige among the local people. If Liu Xian is given death for some crime on the surface, this is probably not suitable. Especially the emperor has already faintly felt that this Liu Xian is not simple, in case Liu Xian will not admit the ambush, but force Liu Xian to rebel, then the matter will be big.
In fact, the emperor didn't care much about the remnants of the Yellow Turban that hadn't been extinguished yet. However, if you add the words of forcing Liu Xian to rebel and force Liu Xian to unite with the remnants of the Yellow Turban, then it will really completely shake the foundation of the Han Dynasty.
Now there are still Yellow Turban riots in all parts of the Han Dynasty, and now the turmoil in Xiliang has not been extinguished, and Jizhou has added another Liu Xian who has barely had anything to do with the first emperor to rebel. Then the imperial court may really lose control over the Han Dynasty. At least Jizhou, Qingzhou and other areas will be completely chaotic. This is tantamount to making today's Han lose half of the country.
Thinking about it, the emperor always felt that he still couldn't solve Liu Xian on the bright side, and he always had to use some means.
Zhang Rang, Zhao Zhong and other ten permanent servants naturally knew that the emperor planned to kill Liu Xian. They actually want Liu Xian to die.
Because Liu Xian has not given them half of the benefits from beginning to end, and he has not even sent people to worship the mountain.
Therefore, they gave advice to the emperor.
If you want to move Liu Xian, you must first move Huangfu Song, otherwise, if there is a good impression of Liu Xian, and the upright Huangfu Song is in Jizhou, even if the court wants to use some means, it may be inadvertently stopped by Huangfu Song. The problem is that the imperial court can't tell Huangfu Song clearly, because the emperor cares about Liu Xian, so you have to help kill Liu Xian.
After hearing this, the emperor thought it was true, and decided to issue an order to borrow some names to remove Huangfu Song from his position as pastor of Jizhou and his position in the army. But the emperor didn't want to chill the meritorious people, at least he didn't want the generals in the army to see that the emperor who had made such a great contribution to the Han Dynasty was deprived of everything, which made people panic. Therefore, he ordered Huangfu Song to suppress Chang'an and fight against the rebels in Xiliang.
dismissed Huangfu Song as Jizhou pastor, transferred Huangfu Song, in order to better deal with Liu Xian, the imperial court did not immediately appoint Jizhou pastor for the time being.
How to kill Liu Xian?
Zhang Rang, Zhao Zhong and others offered advice, since Liu Xian actually had the strength to fight against tens of thousands of Yellow Turban troops in Yangshi County and Liulin Village, even Wang Yue, the first sword in the world, could not kill Liu Xian. Then there is no point in sending someone to assassinate Liu Xian again.
And it is impossible for the imperial court to send a large army to directly attack Yangshi County and Liulin Village. attacked Yangshi County and Liulin Village for no reason, and the division was unknown.
As a result, they all thought that it was extremely difficult to kill Liu Xian in Jizhou and Yangshi County. Then it's better to get Liu Xian to the capital, as long as Liu Xian arrives in the capital, at the feet of the Son of Heaven, in front of the emperor, then you can kill Liu Xian as much as you want.
Otherwise, Liu Xian would not be able to help Liu Xian at all in Yangshi County and Liulin Village.
One person counts short, and two people count long. The Ten Standing Servants can't do good things, but if they talk about conspiracy and trickery, then they will really have a bad stomach.
Together, they thought it through.
First of all, they all believed that the imperial court had summoned Ma Guiren to the capital, but the imperial court never issued a statement on whether it recognized Ma Guiren's righteous son. Now that a few months have passed, they are all worried about whether Liu Xian has thought that the imperial court is going to deal with him, especially since Wang Yue has fallen into Liu Xian's hands, and they dare not say whether Wang Yue will reveal that he was assassinated on the emperor's orders.
Therefore, they believe that this must first be decreed to recognize Liu Xian's identity, at least to recognize Liu Xian as the son of Ma Guiren.
They considered that if the imperial court did not admit it, then it would be difficult for the imperial court to coerce Liu Xian through Ma Guiren.
Therefore, this first acknowledges Liu Xian's identity, and at the same time, it can also reassure Liu Xian's heart.
Then, after acknowledging Liu Xian's identity, the imperial court can summon Liu Xian to Beijing in a proper manner, and even seal Liu Xian an official position and let Liu Xian enter Beijing to take office.
In this way, after Liu Xian enters Beijing, there will be more names to govern Liu Xian.
In addition, the Han Dynasty put filial piety first, and the imperial court recognized Liu Xian as the righteous son of Ma Guiren, so Liu Xian must fulfill his filial piety.
In order to let Liu Xian have to enter Beijing, and then under the pretext that Ma Guiren was seriously ill, he summoned Liu Xian, the righteous son, to Ma Guiren's side to serve filial piety, so that the imperial court had a dignified name and summoned Liu Xian to Beijing.
If Liu Xian doesn't enter Beijing in this way, then they have something to say. How does such an unfilial person qualify to become the righteous son of Ma Guiren? What qualifications do you have to become the young master of the Plains Palace?
Even, when the time comes, it can openly deny Liu Xian's identity as a member of the Han family. You can use the mouth of Ma Guiren to deny it, so that people in the world will definitely believe it.
To be honest, even if Liu Xian has a little folk fame, this fame is only in Yangshi County and Liulin Village. At most, add the North Sea.
As for Julu County, once Liu Xian's various wrongs are publicized at that time, it will definitely make Liu Xian's prestige drop and the people's hearts will be greatly lost.
Under such circumstances, even if Liu Xian rebelled, he would not have the name of righteousness, and at that time, he would be beaten as rebellious as the Yellow Turban Army. There are some things that Liu Xian can't really wash with water.
A few days later, Liu Xian and his party finally returned to Yangshi County.
Only then did he return to Yang's County and didn't enter the city, and the envoys sent by the imperial court waited at the gate of Yang's County.
Together, there are also a number of officials from Yang's County.
This envoy came to announce the decree and recognized Liu Xian as the righteous son of Ma Guiren and the identity of the young master of the plain palace.
Not only that, but also conferred Liu Xian as the Marquis of Righteousness and Bravery, commending Liu Xian for everything he did for the people of Yangshi County and his exploits in defeating tens of thousands of Yellow Turban Army.
