Chapter 422: A Temporary Measure

Zhao He stubbornly knelt in front of the emperor and stated his account of going to Liulin Village, Diao County, Julu County to summon Liu Xian to Beijing. There are no details in it, including the fact that he went to Hanoi to mobilize three or four thousand officers and soldiers to kill Liu Xian, and even Liu Xian did not hide the fact that he secretly coerced him to owe Liu Xian 50 million money.

"Your Majesty, the minister is guilty, he failed to solve Liu Xian for the emperor, and let Liu Xian so recklessly under the banner of Liu's caravan, with thousands of people, escorted a large number of goods to the capital." After Zhao He finished speaking, he kowtowed again and again to ask for guilt.

All the emperor's good mood dissipated at this moment, and he really felt a little annoyed. A mere kid who is not worth mentioning, he has spent so much effort in order to get rid of him. is the king of a country, is there nothing to do with this kid?

Zhao He is Zhao Zhong's person, the emperor knows this, and at this time, it is naturally not good to punish Zhao He seriously.

"Zhao Qing is flat. This thing is that Liu Xian is too cunning and undisciplined, even Wang Yue's great sword master can't kill him, and tens of thousands of Yellow Turban troops can't destroy him. Thinking about this, Liu Xian is by no means easy to match. So, I can't blame you, after all, he has now complied with the order to the capital. Zhao Qing, you can be regarded as having completed the task. The emperor asked Zhao He to stand up, and then swept Zhang Rang, Zhao Zhong and others, and said: "The main thing now, under the current situation, how to get rid of Liu Xian?" What advice do you have? ”

This question really stumped them.

Liu Xian was outside the city, but he was helpless with Liu Xian.

Do you really want to mobilize military horses to attack Liu Xian's caravan? But if you really do this, then not to mention whether it will cause panic in Luoyang, which has only been stable for a few days, and whether it will cause the people of the world to criticize the emperor, just say that if Liu Xian sees that the situation is not right, won't he run? If Liu Xian is allowed to run away, then with Liu Xian's rebellious character, he will definitely have to rebel. Is it really good to force Liu Xian to rebel?

In the emperor's heart, they have indeed regarded Liu Xian as a conspiracy.

Not long ago, Beihai City also had a performance table, which stated that Liu Xian traveled to Beihai again and helped Beihai City defeat the 20,000 or 30,000 Taishan Yellow Turban Army.

The Black Mountain Yellow Turban Army and the Taishan Yellow Turban Army were defeated by Liu Xian. This also shows Liu Xian's ability. If Liu Xian really rebelled, they were all a little worried that the tail would not fall.

It can be said that the current Liu Xian has proved his ability to them three or four times, which has made them deeply jealous.

It is no longer feasible to mobilize military horses to deal with Liu Xian.

"Your Majesty, why don't you summon Liu Xian into the palace to see the driver by another holy decree? As long as Liu Xian enters the palace......" Zhang Rang proposed.

"No...... What if Liu Xian really resists and disobeys the order again? What's more, now that Liu Xian has arrived in Luoyang, many people already know about it, right? What is the difference between summoning him into the palace and killing him and mobilizing military horses to attack him? I'm still going to be shameless? The emperor rejected Zhang Rang's suggestion.

There is one thing that the emperor knows very well in his heart, that is, there are no stupid people in this world, not to mention anything else, he summoned Ma Guiren into Beijing, and then sent Wang Yue to assassinate Liu Xian. Through these actions, as long as Liu Xian is not stupid, he must know in his heart that it is he, the emperor, who wants to take his life. Since he knew that he was going to take his life, how could Liu Xian really obey his will? How could he enter the palace knowing that he was dead?

If Liu Xian was really a loyal minister loyal to the Han family, then when he came to the capital, he would definitely enter the palace with Zhao He.

Looking at Liu Xianming again, he knew that Wu Jin was the Taishou of Hanoi, but he did not hesitate to kill him, which in itself was an act of ignoring the law and discipline of the Han Dynasty, which was to show him, the emperor, that he was unwilling to give in. What about government officials and officers and soldiers? He Liu Xian dared to kill.

A person who dares to kill the leader of the Yellow Turban Army and the officials of the government. Will it be a simple person?

In general, it is actually the weakness and incompetence of the Han court.

Whether it's the emperor or these eunuchs. They are all masters who bully the weak and fear the hard. They treated the officials of the court, or the common people, and the aliens. When he saw that he could be deceived, he squeezed him to death, but when he saw his ferocity, he was afraid.

"Your Majesty, this is the only way to do it now, first appease Liu Xian, and then slowly get rid of it." Zhao Zhong's small eyes rolled at this time, and said: "After all, Liu Xian has something to do with Ma Guiren, and nominally, the imperial court is indeed not good at dealing with him for no reason. However, as long as Liu Xian remains in the capital, then there is a chance to get rid of him. As long as the court finds an excuse, it will be his death. In the capital, are you still afraid that he will turn the sky upside down? ”

"Well, what I'm saying is that as long as he stays in the capital, he won't be afraid that there will be no chance to get rid of him." Although the emperor didn't want to do this, there was really no good way to do it at this time.

"In addition, the emperor ordered Liu Xian to enter Beijing under the pretext that Ma Guiren was seriously ill, which ...... Ma Guiren doesn't know yet. This Liu Xian is now asking to see Ma Guiren first, Your Majesty, does this require his subordinates to go and warn Ma Guiren? Zhao Zhong said again.

"No need!" The emperor had a gloomy face, waved his hand, and said, "What else is there to warn?" Just let them know that what if I found an excuse to summon Liu Xian to Beijing? Could it be that they still dare to question me? Go, send Ma Guiren back to the Plains Palace, and in addition, let Liu Xian enter the city, but his caravan is not allowed to enter the city. ”

"Obey the order!"

Ma Guiren is really in the palace, of course, nominally in the name of the queen to summon Ma Guiren into the palace to accompany him, but in fact it is equivalent to being banned in the palace. From the time the emperor issued an order to summon Liu Xian to Beijing, Ma Guiren was summoned into the palace.

In fact, during this time, the emperor's heart was particularly strong, and this was because of the relationship between meeting Ma Guiren.

Ma Guiren, this woman, is indeed too beautiful, dignified and gorgeous, especially her figure, which is hot and attractive.

It's a pity that because of the name, the emperor also had to suppress his evil thoughts and vent his anger on those palace concubines.

The Han Dynasty put filial piety first, and Ma Guiren was nominally one generation higher than the emperor's generation. In addition, Liu Xian has not been removed, so the emperor can still bear it.

In fact, he had already made up his mind, as long as Liu Xian died, then he would permanently imprison Ma Guiren in the palace, and when the time came, it would not be as he wished?

The absurdity of this emperor is not in vain.

Liu Xian's Liufu caravan led to a camp in an open space about three miles away from the wall of the Luoyang capital, which was of course the place designated by the defenders of Luoyang.

It was getting dark, and the camp of the Liu Mansion caravan had not yet been settled, so Zhao He came out of the city.

"According to the emperor's instructions, Liu Xian's little marquis was allowed to enter the city and go to the plain palace to visit Ma Guiren, and after that, the little marquis could live in the plain palace. However, the Liu Fu caravan was not allowed to enter the city. In addition, the emperor will summon the little marquis in the near future and ask the little marquis to get ready......"

Zhao He announced the emperor's will to Liu Xian, and then said: "Congratulations to the little marquis, you will be able to see the holy drive in a few days, this is a great honor." There are so many relatives and marquis of the Han family, and there are few people who can be summoned by the emperor. ”

"Oh, then thank the emperor for his grace. Lord Zhao, what about our compensation? When will it be given to me? Liu Xian reminded Zhao Hedao.

"Uh, little marquis, this matter is not in a hurry, even if you want to copy Wu Jin's family, you can't rush it, right?" Zhao He secretly hated in his heart, but he could only smile on his face.

"Ben Gongzi is not in a hurry, but reminds you not to forget. Didn't the emperor want to summon this son? If you forget to ask the emperor to copy Wu Jin's house, then when you see the emperor, I will personally propose it to the emperor. ”

"How so? Little Hou Ye can rest assured. ”

"Okay, the Plains Palace, this son will enter the city immediately."

Liu Xian didn't say anything more, and motioned for Zhao He to go.

"Little Marquis, it's still Zhao who leads the way, take you to the Plains Palace, your first time in Beijing, the city is too big, I'm afraid you won't be able to find it for a while if you don't lead the way."

"Okay, you wait a minute."

Liu Xian left Zhang Ning to preside over the affairs of the caravan camp of the Liu Mansion, and asked Huang Wudie to accompany him into the city, and Wang Yue was naturally mixed in with his own guards.

A hundred cavalry must be brought into the city, and another hundred archers and a hundred spearmen. There are more than 300 guards, if even this little guard is not allowed to enter the city, if there is no security guarantee, Liu Xian would rather not enter the city. At most, I will find a way to sneak into the city and take Ma Guiren away.

Of course, if Liu Xian has made a name for himself in the capital and has a certain reputation, then Liu Xian doesn't have to worry too much.

As for the matter of the caravan of the Liu Mansion, Liu Xian was not in a hurry, and he went to the city to understand the situation.

At this time, in Luoyang City, there are indeed many people who are curious about the caravan of Liufu, such a large caravan, and the banner is also clear, and the good people in the city have already begun to investigate.

The news that the caravan of the Liu Mansion had arrived in Luoyang also spread to the General's Mansion.

He Jin listened to the reports of the people below, and also figured out that it was actually Liu Xian's caravan, and also knew that Liu Xian actually came to the capital.

Originally, he had a grudge against Liu Xian, and he was angry that Liu Xian robbed Zheng Xuan. Originally, I was thinking about how to deal with Liu Xian, but now it just so happens that this is called hell and no door to enter.

He didn't call anyone else, summoned Jiang Bin, and asked Jiang Bin to deal with Liu Xian. As for how to deal with it, He Jin doesn't care, anyway, it doesn't matter if he kills Liu Xian, or gives Liu Xian trouble, as long as he makes Liu Xian feel bad in this capital and can't stay.

Although he resented Liu Xian in his heart, Liu Xian was indeed just a small person, and he was not worthy of his too much attention. In fact, it's not a deep hatred, it's just that I'm unhappy. Liu Xian is such a small person, even if he is killed, it is nothing.

In fact, He Jin could directly order the city defenders to deal with Liu Xian, but it was only more than a year for He Jin to become a general. Nominally, he is indeed the general who commands the military horses of the Han Dynasty, and has the right to mobilize all the military horses. However, the city defenders are related to the interests of too many people, and those powerful people and courtiers in the imperial court basically have relatives and confidants in the city defenders.

This also makes sometimes even He Jin's orders not very useful. is not He Jin's descendant, if there is no proper name, it is difficult for He Jin to be mobilized.

In addition, although the general said that he could mobilize the world's military horses, there was also a lieutenant who could control him at the head of the general. Taiwei was one of the three princes of the imperial court. Even if he is not a lieutenant, the civil and military officials of the court can all impeach him.

In the court, the power of civil officials is actually always greater than that of military attachés, especially in non-war times, when there are basically not too many military attachés in the court.

The army needs logistical support, and if he offends the court officials in charge of money and food, and does not cooperate with him, a general, then he will not be able to lead troops.

Therefore, He Jin did not let the city defenders deal with Liu Xian, only let Jiang Bin find a way.

In fact, you don't have to think of any way, just take someone to trouble Liu Xian directly.

Jiang Bin thought that in Zheng Xuan's mansion, Liu Xian was aggressive to him, threatened him, and oppressed him, so that he didn't dare to argue with Liu Xian at all.

But in this capital, it's different, here, it's their territory.

There are many diners in the Great General's Palace. There are 3,000 diners in Beihai Confucius Mansion, so in this prosperous capital, the dignified General's Mansion is even more diners, at least, the number of diners will not be less than that of Beihai Confucius Mansion.

Jiang Bin gathered four or five hundred diners from the General's Mansion, as well as hundreds of bastard heroes in the capital he knew, and then rushed from the north of the General's Mansion to the east gate of the city in the name of the General's Mansion.

The curfew has been lifted in Luoyang City, and of course, the gates will definitely be closed after late night.

Liu Xian, under the guidance of Zhao He, arrived in front of the city gate.

At this time, the sky was already slightly dark, the torches and fire plates on the city gate and the city had been lit, and every household in the city was lit up, and the stars were dotted, which seemed to be very prosperous.

The nightlife in the city should have just begun, and the number of pedestrians on the street did not decrease because it was dark, but seemed to increase.

Even if Liu Xian is at the city gate, looking in from the city gate, he can feel the prosperous atmosphere in the city and hear the cries one after another.

At this time, Liu Xian actually felt a little bit of the taste of the city in the future.

As he was entering the city, Jiang Bin came with his people and blocked the city gate.

Liu Xian glanced at it and saw Jiang Bin, Liu Xian was not too impressed by him, but he had seen it not long ago, so he saw and recognized him at a glance.

Liu Xian's heart was suddenly a little crooked, knowing that he was looking for trouble.

I just came to Luoyang Capital once, but I had such twists and turns, and I was in constant trouble.

"Who is my word, such a big formation. Liu Xian, let's meet again. Jiang Bin came out of line, stood in front of Liu Xian, and looked at Liu Xiandao.

"Who are you? Why don't you gather here to stop the gates? Zhao He, the servant in the palace, still doesn't get out of the way? ”

Liu Xian didn't answer, but Zhao He shouted first.

"Cut! What is the inner and outer servant? Isn't it just a eunuch? Something without eggs, get out of here! “

Jiang Bin has thousands of people, and he is very bold, even if he is a chamberlain in the palace, he will not pay attention to it at this time.

But it's no wonder that Jiang Bin's master is He Jin, a party of relatives, and he has always been on good terms with the eunuchs in the palace. At this time, he would not give Zhao He face.

"Humph!" Zhao He's face turned blue all of a sudden, but he just flicked his sleeves and stepped aside.
