Chapter 338: Greeting the Noble Horse
A mere envoy sent by the imperial court, Liu Xian really didn't pay attention to it. Liu Xian is not an ordinary local official of the Han Dynasty, nor is he an ordinary landlord and wealthy family, nor is he a direct minister who is extremely loyal to the imperial court like Huangfu Song and Lu Zhi.
Therefore, Liu Xian didn't have to scruple or scold them at all.
Liu Xian was riding on a horse, dressed in a blue and luxurious son's robe, looking a little handsome.
However, Liu Xian's gaze was like electricity, and he looked coldly at the team that stopped.
"Who are you? Why the roadblock? Do you know who you're stopping? Don't want to live anymore? ”
The forbidden troops in the palace who went with Yu Ming were naturally also the troops controlled by these eunuchs, and they wore a pair of pants with them. Basically, these forbidden soldiers are related to those eunuchs in the palace. Otherwise, it is the people they have paid for and cultivated, and then they will use this means to make them become forbidden soldiers, and enter the palace to be sent by those eunuchs.
Speaking of which, these are also one of the helplessness of the current Han Emperor. In fact, the Han court, no matter who really controls the authority of the court, the first thing that comes to mind must be to hold the military power of the forbidden army in the palace. will try their best to install their own people into the forbidden army, and only by making the forbidden army their own can they better control the entire palace.
Therefore, whether it is the first emperor or the current emperor, it is actually very difficult, and they have not even really mastered the palace and the authority of the court.
Not to mention, the current emperor Liu Hong was selected by the Empress Dowager Dou Miaodou and the general Dou Wu to enter the palace and ascend the throne as the emperor, and he was originally a puppet emperor. At that time, the military power inside and outside the Han court was in the hands of the two brothers and sisters.
At that time, the forbidden army in the palace, starting from the commander of the forbidden army to the general forbidden soldiers below, basically had a lot to do with the brother and sister.
Liu Hong was unwilling to be a puppet all the time, and through those eunuchs in the palace, he finally killed this brother and sister. However, this created those eunuchs to control the authority of the palace. It can be said that this is also a big tail, and until now, Liu Hong has become a puppet emperor of those eunuchs.
But speaking of which, Liu Hong once also wanted to be a generation of saints, but he really had no way to regain the power of the forbidden army in the palace from those eunuchs, and there was no way, he could only comply. For him, in fact, there is nothing wrong with daring like this. After all, although these eunuchs held the military power of the forbidden army in the palace, on the surface, they maintained a deferential and humble attitude towards Liu Hong, the emperor.
In other words, those eunuchs, in front of the emperor, are indeed trembling, extremely loyal to the emperor, thinking about the emperor and sharing worries for the emperor. Anyway, in front of the emperor, they pretended that we were loyal ministers, and everything they did was for the good of the emperor and the good of the Han Dynasty. Therefore, the emperor had nothing to say to them, and he had to favor them.
Those eunuchs are indeed too cunning, such as Zhang Rang and Zhao Zhong, who are greedy for money and power, but they know very well that everything they have obtained now is actually given by the emperor. This endowment is not a gift, but it means that they need the emperor to be their big umbrella, under which they will not be beaten by the wind and rain. However, this big umbrella was erected by them, and they moved it wherever they wanted.
Well, that's the truth, the emperor is the big umbrella, with this emperor in front, those civil and military officials in the court can't help them. Then, they controlled the forbidden army of the palace, which was equivalent to controlling the emperor's big umbrella.
With such a relationship, those eunuchs in the palace can go sideways when they go out of Beijing. Incidentally, the forbidden army of the palace is naturally just as arrogant.
This [yoyo reading fo] a forbidden army of hundreds of people, the general of the unified army is a school captain.
He saw that there were cavalry blocking the road, although he was a little frightened, he still stepped forward with his knife and shouted at Liu Xian.
"Whew! What about knowing who you are? Don't know what? Do you know who this son is? Do you want to live? This should be what this son asked you. Liu Xian snorted with his nostrils and said to him condescendingly.
"I am Zhang He, the captain of the forbidden army of the Han Palace, and led five hundred forbidden troops to escort Lord Qincha to the Pingyuan Palace, and escorted the Pingyuan Palace's Ma Guiren back to the capital together. What you are stopping now is the drive of our Lord Qincha Yu Ming and the driving of the nobles of the Plains Palace. We represent the current emperor traveling, it can also be said that you are stopping the emperor's car, offending the emperor's car, offending the emperor's authority, this is the big crime of killing the head, the big crime of stealing the family and destroying the family! ”
Zhang He shouted loudly with his chest held up proudly, looking arrogant.
Along the way, he pulled the banner like this, and everywhere he passed, none of those local officials and families were not intimidated by these names, and in the end they all had to bow respectfully, obediently offer filial piety, and send them away.
Zhang He believes that these cavalry blocking the way, no matter how powerful they look, will definitely have to be subdued.
"Offended Tianwei? He also killed his head and robbed his family to exterminate his family. Liu Xian said lightly: "I'm really a little scared to say this." But this son just didn't give way, he just came to block the way, what are you doing with this son? Come kill my head? Raid my house and destroy my people? Come on. ”
Choke!
Zhang He saw that Liu Xian was not frightened, but seemed to be more arrogant and made some provocative actions towards him, and he subconsciously pulled out the Pu knife.
"Boy! Are you looking for death? Kneel down for the captain! ”
"Humph! Quack! Liu Xian saw him swing his knife at each other, snorted coldly, and then turned his head to look at Huang Zhong beside him.
"Bold! Kneel down for Liu Xiangongzi! ”
Huang Zhong received Liu Xian's signal, and suddenly moved, the war horse jumped out, shouted, and slapped the long-handled golden knife in his hand with a snort.
Yes, it's a shoot.
Zhang He drew his knife in a fit of anger, but he didn't expect that someone would suddenly do something to him.
He slapped the big knife at him, and wanted to raise the knife to take a picture, but he felt an invisible pressure like a mountain, which directly pressed him and made it difficult for him to even move his arm.
When the big knife slapped on the top of his head, he felt a pain in his head, followed by a weakness all over his body, and suddenly knelt down, which is not counting, after kneeling down, he fell forward again, and the whole person knelt on the ground, making his face disgraced.
This Zhang He is a distant relative of Zhang Rang, who was placed in the palace forbidden army by virtue of his relationship, strength? That's not it, at most it's about the same strength as a stronger soldier.
In fact, an ordinary lieutenant must be at least a third-rate military general to be qualified, but in today's forbidden army, everything is based on relationships. There are many guys like him in the forbidden army. It can also be seen that the forbidden army of the Han Palace is so low in combat effectiveness.
The forbidden army is the emperor's own army, and it should represent the strongest combat power of the Han army, but unfortunately, at this time, these traditions have long been lost.
"If he said one more word, he beheaded his dog." Liu Xian didn't bother to say more to him, and then patted his horse past him and walked towards the forbidden army in front.
Liu Xian blocked the road for the sake of Ma Guiren. As for these horses, Liu Xian will only decide how to deal with them after meeting Ma Guiren.
"This son is Liu Xian of Liu Mansion in Liulin Village, Tao County, and suddenly heard that the imperial court announced that the righteous mother of this son Ma Guiren entered Beijing, passing through Yangshi County, so I hereby wait, here to welcome the righteous mother. My son misses the righteous mother too much, and he doesn't know when he will see him again in Beijing this time, so he hopes to take the righteous mother to Liufu in Liulin Village to live for a few days. Yiniang, are you there? ”
Liu Xian rode his horse, and those forbidden troops saw that their commanders were all suppressed and knelt on the ground at once, and they were annoyed and shocked at this time, so they naturally took out their weapons in unison and pointed at Liu Xian, preventing Liu Xian from getting close to their array.
Liu Xian didn't force his way into the formation, he wanted to make sure that Ma Guiren was inside.
The forbidden army came in a long snake formation, among which there were two or three carriages, and Liu Xian recognized the particularly delicate and luxurious carriage of the noble horse. I just don't know if she's in there. Liu Xian did not rule out whether the Qin messenger who summoned Ma Guiren to Beijing would do anything, and whether he would play some tricks to secretly cross Chen Cang, and sent someone to send Ma Guiren away from another route.
"Is it Xian'er? The righteous lady is here. ”
Dozens of paces behind, guarded by the forbidden army, in the middle carriage, the words of the horse nobles came out.
"It's me, Yiniang, my son has come to pick you up and take you to Liulin Village to take a rest." Liu Xian heard Ma Guiren's words, and his heart was relieved, knowing that there was no mistake.
"Well, Yiniang originally wanted to meet you before entering Beijing and talk to you before leaving."
"That's good." Liu Xian said, looking at the carriage that was closer and was also guarded by the soldiers of the forbidden army, and said: "Lord Qincha, you heard it, I, Liu Xian, want to invite Ma Guiren to stay in Liulin Village Liu's Mansion for a few days, there is no problem, right?" ”
When Yu Ming found that the way was blocked by cavalry, he was indeed a little flustered, because he was afraid of running into bandits and bandits.
The safety of the road was naturally the responsibility of the commander of this forbidden army, so he did not say anything.
In the carriage, he secretly looked at the situation in front of him, and saw that the commander of the forbidden army in charge of himself and Ma Guiren was easily suppressed, kneeling on the ground and unable to move, he was suddenly frightened.
Of course, after listening to Liu Xian's origin, he was also annoyed. He felt that this Liu Xian was really too bold and too blind, that Zhang He had already said that they were forbidden troops, and his own Qincha represented the emperor. But this Liu Xian didn't care about it at all, and didn't take him seriously at all.
Yu Ming settled down, and it was indeed impossible to be silent at this time. Courageously, he lifted the curtain of the carriage and stepped out of it.
"You are Liu Xian of Liufu in Liulin Village? I've heard of you. However, Liu Xiangongzi, is there something wrong with what you did today? Ma Guiren was summoned to Beijing by the emperor's order, and Ben Qincha came to announce the decree on behalf of the emperor and was responsible for protecting the safety of Ma Guiren. You...... Should I kneel down to greet him when I see this official? Yu Ming looked at Liu Xian and said in a calm tone as much as possible.
"Haha, this son's call to you is already considered to be giving you face. Nonsense, Ben Gongzi doesn't want to say more. Let your people get out of the way of my son, I will pick up the noble man to stay in Liulin Village for a few days. Liu Xian was really too lazy to deal with them, his face turned cold, he raised his hand and pointed around, "Lord Qincha, what kind of place do you see?" Do you know that just a few days ago, the Yellow Turban Army of Montenegro dispatched 50,000 troops to attack Yangshi County? Tens of thousands of troops besieged Yang's County for a day and a night, but Ben Gongzi led the army to break the enemy and defeated tens of thousands of troops of the Yellow Turban Army of Montenegro in one fell swoop. Tens of thousands of troops can be defeated, this official road is in the dense forest, annoying this son, what are the hundreds of forbidden troops in your area? It was also the work of the Yellow Turban Liukou. Do you think the court can still investigate the reason for you? ”
Liu Xian: This is a threat to Chi Guoguo.
Let's tell you clearly, here, is my Liu Xian's territory, we can do whatever we want, and care about your emperor's holy decree. Annoyed, you have nowhere to redress your grievances.
A few days ago, Yang County defeated tens of thousands of Black Mountain Yellow Turban Army, although no one would deliberately report the situation to Yu Ming, but they did hear about it all along the way.
At this time, Liu Xian said that Yu Ming couldn't help but be shocked again, and couldn't help but turn his head to look around, and found that there were some dense woods on both sides of this official road. If something happens here, the outside world really won't know.
The combat effectiveness of this forbidden army, they know it in their own hearts, didn't they dare to make any mistakes before these hundreds of cavalry?
Yu Ming panicked in his heart, and his face became not very good-looking.
At this time, he really didn't dare to do it against Liu Xian. Fortunately, he chose to take this route, but Ma Guiren strongly requested that he also allow Ma Guiren to meet Liu Xian.
He hurriedly said: "Hehe, Liu Xiangongzi, I'm joking with you, okay, the reason why this official passed through Yangshi County was actually to let Ma Guiren meet and talk to Liu Xiangongzi." In this way, let's escort Ma Guiren to Liulin Village, and let her rest in Liulin Village for two or three days before going to the capital, is that good? ”
"Not good!" Liu Xian said very politely: "This son is just here to pick up the nobles, and it has nothing to do with you, and we don't welcome you in Liulin Village." What this Gongzi means is that you can go to Yangshi County by yourself and wait, and when Ben Gongzi and Yiniang have rested in Liulin Village, I will inform you to escort her into Beijing. In the meantime, please forgive my son for refusing to accept it. ”
"Uh...... W-Isn't this okay? After all, we are waiting for the holy decree to protect the nobles of the horses, so as to ...... Isn't this tantamount to letting Ma Guiren leave our protection? In case there is any accident ...... the nobleman."
"What could be the surprise? Are you saying that this son can't protect his own righteous mother? Needless to say, you can do it yourself, from now on, Ma Guiren will go with us. ”
Liu Xian said toughly.
