Chapter 106: Emperor Collapse
The horse's hooves flew by, rolling up thousands of piles of snow, and along with thousands of piles of snow, in addition to countless rolling human heads, there were also thousands of piles of blood!
The rebellion in Liangzhou, which started from Beigong Boyu and passed through Bian Zhang Han Sui, affected Longxi, Nan'an, Hanyang, Fufeng, Anding, Beidi, Jincheng and other Han counties for five years finally stopped temporarily, and stopped at the famous Han general Huangfu Song, and also stopped at the traitor leader kingdom.
Chen Cang's army was defeated, the kingdom was deposed by Han Sui and Ma Teng, and the rebel group fell apart, so that Liangzhou fell into the internal struggle of the three major rebels. Han Sui occupied Jincheng, Ma Teng dominated Weigu, and Song Jian ruled Han, far away from the Central Plains, and called himself "King of Heshou Ping Han".
It is a pity that the pacification of Liangzhou should have been decided by the First World War, but the Central Plains was back in the wolf smoke, and the border land of the DPRK and China no longer had time to take care of it.
……
"The spring breeze is sunny and the day is bright, and the jade is the skin. There is no Wu Yuanyan in the world, and she is covered with the fragrance of the sky and the Han Palace. A lifetime of resentment and shame, uncut lovesickness has broken the bowels. ”
In April of the sixth year of Zhongping, the peony flowers of Luoyang have bloomed for the first time. The Dragon Garden, Shanglin Garden, White Horse Temple, Nangong and Beigong were painted with a thick layer of makeup overnight.
"The sun is blooming, and the general is in the city."
This is a proverb when the peony blossoms bloom in the city of Luoyang. Of course, it is not the general who falls into the city, but the general's mansion.
The peony flowers outside the General's Mansion are blooming one by one. The delicate flowers are full of charm, the petals are overlapped, and the flower colors are innumerable, although there is no very Yao Huang Wei Zi, Dou Lu Zhao Powder, but it is also rich and fragrant, colorful.
But the general He Jin had no intention of appreciating the flowers at this time, and since he returned from the palace, he had torn up an official uniform, smashed two wine bottles, three porcelain bottles, and a jade ruyi given by His Majesty today, and killed two servants in the palace who usually trusted him.
Looking at the Shangshu waiter Zheng Tai and the Huangmen waiter Xun You and others sitting in the hall, the anxiety in his heart was still not gone, and the fear in his heart was still there, his fat body was rolling back and forth in the hall like a big ball of meat, his forehead and hair bun were full of speckled sweat, and his eyes were staring at the door with a little hope.
"Report! General, Captain Yuan Shao, Captain Cao Cao, and Captain Wu Fu of Yue Cai ask to see! ”
"General, what's wrong?"
Raising his head, he saw that Yuan Shao and the three of them had entered hand in hand, and Wu Fu, the captain of Yueqi, was even more concerned and asked as soon as he opened his mouth. He Jin was relieved in his heart, and a heart that had been hanging for a long time finally fell from the clouds.
This Wufu word Deyu, there are few big festivals, why did he enter the expedition to conquer the Dongcao genus, with He Jin in the court, all the way from the Dongcao genus, Shizhong, Henan Yin to the Yue cavalry captain, the most loyal.
Motioning for the three of them to sit down, wiping the sweat from the corners of their foreheads, and then slowly walking to the main seat, He Jin glanced at the people in the hall, and then said slowly: "Your Majesty has been seriously ill and unable to serve since last month, and suddenly issued an edict at noon today, ordering the general to enter the palace to see the future affairs.
When the general dismounted and entered the palace, Sima Panyin suddenly came out of the palace and said: Don't enter the palace, this is Jian Shuo's plan, Jian Shuo wants to kill He Mouye! So, this general invites you to come and discuss this matter, can you help me? ”
He (yong) owed a debt, and arched his hand and said: "Jian Shuo is His Majesty's confidant, in charge of the Eighth School of the West Garden, and has a close relationship with the ten permanent servants of the court. Today, under the pretext of His Majesty's serious illness to seek the general, it will be the death of the prince, and the general must not ignore it. ”
Shangshu Lang Zheng Tai nodded, took over the topic and said, "What Bo Qiu said is not bad. His Majesty has two sons, namely the Prince Debate of Queen Lingsi and the Association of Wang Meiren, and the Association was raised in the Queen Mother's Palace, but he was only eight years old, and the little Prince was five years old, but he was deeply loved by His Majesty and the Queen Mother.
Since ancient times, the importance of the country has not been passed on, and the long has not been young. Since Jian Shuo is plotting against the general, there will be the Queen Mother and Zhang Rang and others implicated later. under
The official thought that the current plan should be to cut off Shuo Zhang, cut off the eyes and ears of the queen mother, and help the prince to ascend the throne. ”
"Hmm! The two gentlemen Boqiu and Gongye are both reasonable. He Jin bowed his head to the two of them and said approvingly, "I should personally lead the army......"
"No!" One of the people in the audience suddenly stepped forward, interrupted He Jin's words and said, "The momentum of eunuchs starts from the time of mid-quality; The imperial court is extremely widespread, and can it be punished? If the opportunity is not secret, there will be a disaster of extermination. Your Majesty is still sick now, how can the general wave his army into the palace? Please ask the general to take a closer look at the eunuch's affairs! ”
Seeing it, it was Cao Cao, the captain of the military academy, He Jin was furious: "Meng Dezhong often serves Cao Teng, but he wants to maintain the eunuchs?" National affairs, how can you and other juniors put their beaks at will? ”
"Cao Cao didn't dare to forget." Cao Cao arched his hand and said, "But I look at the general, but I have forgotten the old things of General Dou and Mrs. Chen?" ”
He Jin was originally a soft-eared person, although he scoffed at Cao Cao's intentions, but after Cao Cao mentioned this, he felt that what he said was not unreasonable, Dou Wu and Chen Fan's old things have only passed for thirty or twenty years, and the past situation is vivid, if he waives his army into the palace, His Majesty asks him face to face, how should he answer? For a while, it was swaying.
Before He Jin could make up his mind, he saw that a person had already rushed to the hall, it was Sima Panyin of the West Garden: "General, Your Majesty collapsed in the Yongle Palace of the North Palace a moment ago, Jian Shuo and the Ten Standing Servants have controlled the palace, and they are secretive but not mourned, and they intend to make the general Xuan enter the palace to prevent future troubles, and help the prince to become the son of heaven, and please make a quick decision and a quick decision!" ”
As soon as the words were finished, he saw the envoy of the day enter with the edict and shouted: "By the holy decree of Your Majesty, the special edict of the general will enter the palace to see the driver!" ”
He Jin was startled, and was hesitating, but saw that Cao Cao had suddenly gotten up, the short knife in his waist had been unsheathed, and the cold light flashed and blood splashed, and a big head flew up!
Although the knife was unpretentious and had no thunderous momentum, it shook the hall.
Zheng Tai and He Zhuren were terrified, but Xun You, the waiter of the Yellow Gate, was still silent with a light in his eyes. Only He Jin was left standing in the hall and losing ground, looking at the angel who was twitching in a pool of blood, and muttered in his mouth: "Mengde, how to make it?" This is an angel, this is an angel of the court! ”
Cao Cao returned the knife into the sheath, pointed to the little yellow door in the pool of blood and shouted: "Today's plan, first support the crown prince to ascend the throne and then castrate, the general still has to wait for such eunuchs to enter the palace to repay us and wait for the truth, and then wipe me out?" ”
"But didn't you say that you should be detailed?"
"This time and that time! At that time, His Majesty was still there, and the general led the troops into the palace, but there was still great righteousness? Cao Cao clenched his fists with both hands, and asked He Jin for his life, "Now that Your Majesty is driving, most of the people in the palace are chaotic, and the general still doesn't raise his arms and shout, when will he wait?" ”
At that moment, Yuan Shao, Wufu generals, Zheng Tai and others prostrated on the ground and admonished: "What Meng De said is very true, please make a decision as soon as possible, don't miss the opportunity!" ”
"Good! Good! The corners of He Jin's eyebrows jumped straight and pressed the desk up, fixed his mind, and shouted with a sword on the desk, "Yuan Shao, the captain of the Sili School, led five thousand elite soldiers, cut the gate into the palace to control the palace, and did his best to calm the world!" The rest of the ministers set up a new monarch in front of a certain Deyang Palace! ”
"No!"
……
In front of the Xuanwu Gate of the North Palace, the two teams of soldiers held each other's halberds. Yuan Shao sat on a horse wearing armor, pointed to the small colonel at the door and shouted: "I am the captain of the Sili school, Yuan Shao is also, I was ordered by the general to clear the side of the king, so as to calm the world." Who are you who dare to stop me from entering the palace? ”
The little colonel shouted proudly: "The palace is heavy, and you are not allowed to enter unless you are edicted." Yuan Benchu, your Yuan family is full of ministers, and the fourth and third princes are loyal. Today, you raised troops into the palace with the intention of plotting against you? ”
Yuan Shao was so angry that he gritted his teeth, and the long sword came out of the sheath and scolded sharply: "Unprovoked child, dare to slander my Yuan family? Jian Shuo and Zhang Rang's generation confused the palace, subverted the government and plotted wrong, and you are blind
Is it so? But is it not good to dare to deceive the steel fork in Yuan's hand? ”
The Yulin soldiers guarding the palace gate lowered their heads and did not dare to look directly at Yuan Shao, but they still followed closely behind the little colonel and did not move half a step.
The two sides gradually fell into a stalemate, Yuan Shao angrily fought the bull, the long sword in his hand was raised slightly, and suddenly a light reprimand came from behind, "Why didn't you decide in the first place?" Since this generation is a tiger, you can kill it, so why hesitate! ”
The sound of horses' hooves sounded, and a sharp arrow broke through the air, swept over the heads of the troops, and stuck straight into the neck of the little colonel, and the red blood splashed along the arrow cluster, as if a sheared autumn flower suddenly released. The little school's body went limp, and he fell to the ground in a daze.
"Kill!"
Yuan Shao looked at the comer, nodded, and waved his long sword, and the soldiers under his command rushed towards the palace gate.
The snake can't be headless, not to mention that everyone is facing the Yuan family, which is rare in the Han Dynasty. Since the little colonel guarding the gate has been killed, except for a few diehards, the rest of the people dare to stop it, and they all give way to a road.
Hum! There are also those who don't have long eyes!
Yuan Shao's color changed, the long sword in his hand shuttled back and forth in the crowd like a butterfly in a flower, personally beheaded the few people under the sword, and saw that the army had rushed to the various palace gates, and then Le Ma slowly walked to the person who came and said: "Deyu, you are guarding Qinghe, you are an important minister of my Han side, how can you enter Beijing without an edict?" ”
It turned out that the person who came turned out to be Wang Li, the prime minister of Qinghe, and Zhao Yun, the governor of the country.
Wang Li arched his hand towards Yuan Shao and sighed: "As you said, how dare Li Weifeng leave the land privately? Li Ri got His Majesty's dictation to enter Beijing to report on his work, and as soon as he went to the east gate, he heard that there was a change in the city, and Li rushed to help! ”
His Majesty has long been unconscious, and he has also ordered to go to Beijing to report on his work, who will believe it! ! I want to believe you, but I don't believe it anyway.
, of course! Wang Li, as a shepherd, naturally needs to issue an edict when he enters the Beijing court, so how can it be just an edict?
It's just that a few days ago, I received a secret letter from the mole planted in the palace by Di Ting, and the situation in the DPRK and China has changed, and His Majesty's return to heaven may be in these few days. As we all know, once a son of heaven and a courtier, when the old and new powers alternate, it is suitable to plant some nails in the court and strive for some greater interests, how can Wang Li let it go easily?
Wang Li quickly deduced various forms with his subordinates Yan Zhong, Xi Zhong, Tian Feng, and Fu Zhi, and then quietly rushed to Beijing with Zhao Yun and Zhou Cang overnight.
The time is just right, just after entering Kyoto, I met the emperor died, at this time, if I help He Jin and Yuan Shao to eradicate the traitor party in the DPRK and China, and support the new monarch to succeed to the throne, who can still verify the dictate of the late Son of Heaven? What's more, who in the court doesn't know about the absurdity and unruliness of Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty?
Although I don't know what kind of secret Wang Li has in his hands, and I don't know how Wang Li knows about today's court, Yuan Shao is an outstanding figure in the Yuan family after all, and he has been proficient in this trick since he was a child.
However, this Wang Li has always been both literate and military, and he has Wang Yun, the imperial servant, and Huangfu Song, the general of Zuo, as the backstage, if he can be used as Austrian aid abroad, it is not a bad thing for the new monarch.
Yuan Shao raised his head, glanced at Wang Li with a smile and said, "Deyu, it seems that your luck is not too good, Your Majesty has died, I am afraid that your debriefing will be too late!" ”
"I laughed at the beginning, Wang is the minister of a country, Qinghe counties have just hit the road, there are many miscellaneous things, and I can't leave for a moment, how can I stay out of the matter and wait in Beijing for more than a month, otherwise I won't live up to the benevolence of the first emperor?" Wang Li smiled faintly and said, "Since I have arrived in Beijing, I naturally have to meet Xinjun first and listen to Xinjun's teachings, don't you say?" ”
"In that case, is Deyu willing to go with Yuan?"
"I don't dare to ask for ears if I want to!"
