Chapter 420: Arriving in Luoyang
The eunuchs in the imperial palace are indeed powerful. When there is no basic struggle of interests, the powerful people in the court and the people in the army will deal with them carefully, and it is easy not to have a grudge against them.
There is no way to do this, the eunuchs in the palace can directly face the saints, and the emperor is also obedient to them. offended the eunuchs, it was equivalent to being put in small shoes every minute.
You know, they will say bad things about themselves in front of the emperor all the time, and it will be very sad indeed. If something goes wrong, it will be rectified. Therefore, if it is not necessary, it is generally not necessary to tear up the skin with those eunuchs.
Now the military can barely be regarded as General He Jin's person, on the surface, General He Jin is a representative of the party of his relatives, and he should be incompatible with the eunuchs. However, He Jin will not really tear his face with the eunuchs now, and he will not be tough and tough. Everything is for the sake of interests, as long as the two sides can barely maintain a balance, then He Jin will not really want to fight with the eunuchs.
In fact, it was precisely because of this that He Jinyu hesitated, and he was always determined to completely break with the eunuchs. In this way, he later took his own life.
But when eunuchs meet someone like Liu Xian, they are ready to tear their faces with them at any time, and they are ready to have a life and death with you at any time. In this case, those eunuchs will really be afraid, and in this way, the current Zhao He will be secretly coerced by Liu Xian, and he will have to help Liu Xian smoothly bring the Liu Mansion caravan to Luoyang Kyoto.
Tiger Prison Pass is known as the first pass in the world, the city pass acne falls between two dangerous mountains, the city wall is thick, magnificent and majestic. This is the east gate of Luoyang, Kyoto, and it is the town of the world.
Liu Xian had already stood on the top of the Tiger Prison Pass Tower, looking into the distance, the yellow sand in front of the pass was rolling, like a surging wave.
In the near future, in front of the pass, the princes of the eighteenth road in the world led a large army to kill everywhere, and Lu Bu was a man who was not opened, and then the three heroes fought against Lu Bu, and the sky was dark.
Now that Xiongguan is at his feet, Liu Xian can't help but feel a little agitated.
The Three Kingdoms are the age of heroes! I was fortunate enough to be able to see it in person. However, Liu Xian hopes that this era will be rewritten by himself, and he will pacify this great river and mountain and prosper the Han Dynasty!
"Young Master Liu Xian, little marquis, the wind and sand here are too big, and there is nothing to see, General Cheng has already prepared a banquet, it is better for us to ......"
"Okay, then let's bother General Cheng. Let's go. ”
General Cheng is now the guard of the Tiger Pass, Cheng Zhi, a veteran, and will soon be transferred. Among the materials about the Three Kingdoms era in Liu Xian's mind, there is no such person. None of that matters, though.
General Cheng is older than Huangfu Songdu and is considered the father of the older generation in the Han army. But because there is no one in the court, he can be the first guard in the world, which is also the most glorious moment in his military career.
Now it is General He Jin who controls the military horses of the world, and He Jin will definitely replace the guards of the main passes with his own people. Therefore, this whole process of generals will inevitably be transferred. But when he was old, he simply retired from the army, and Liu Xian happened to meet him at a farewell banquet with his subordinate generals this time, and after the banquet, he could leave as long as the new guards came.
Zhao He said that Xiang was dotting, and it coincided with General Cheng retiring and returning to his hometown, so the Liu Mansion caravan, which did not leave Liu Xian in difficulty, had successfully entered the customs.
After entering the customs, it was already late, so I stayed in the customs and will go to Luoyang again tomorrow.
From the Tiger Prison Pass to Luoyang, Kyoto, there are only more than 100 miles less than 200 miles, and the official road is the best to walk, tomorrow one day, it is enough to reach the capital.
General Cheng's banquet had nothing to say, and Liu Xian was just a guest who happened to be at the meeting. In addition, he is about to retire and return to his hometown, and Liu Xian has no plans to make deep friends.
Although Tiger Prison Pass is the Xiongguan Pass in the world, it is only one of the many passes that Liu Xian entered Beijing this time, and there is no surprise with Zhao and this envoy.
In fact, the reason why there was no accident was that Liu Xian secretly coerced Zhao He this time, and in addition, the guards transferred by He Jin had not yet come to take office, otherwise, Liu Xian's caravan would not have been so smooth if he wanted to go to Luoyang Capital.
The main reason is that when Liu Xian was in Beihai, he intercepted He Jin, and took Zheng Xuan away from the people sent by He Jin and brought him to Liulin City.
He Jin's henchman Jiang Bin had already returned to Luoyang to return to He Jin, of course, it was indispensable to add fuel and vinegar to how Liu Xian forcibly took Zheng Xuan away from their hands, and said that the situation was extremely bad. In fact, needless to say, how bad it is, He Jin has already remembered Liu Xian and has a grudge against Liu Xian.
The emperor sent the eunuch Zhao He to Liulin Village to summon Liu Xian to Beijing He Jin didn't know about it earlier, but when he found out later, he remembered that Liu Xian took Zheng Xuan. He also hurriedly changed the guards of the Tiger Prison Pass, intending to make Liu Xian look good at the Tiger Prison Pass.
For He Jin, dealing with Liu Xian is actually just a matter of words. In his eyes, Liu Xian is indeed just a small person, and it is not worth his special targeting.
But Liu Xian unknowingly avoided the trouble caused by He Jin.
Early the next morning, Liu Xian said goodbye to General Cheng, the general of the Tiger Prison, and when they parted, Liu Xian asked General Cheng to give 100,000 yuan, which was also what Liu Xian meant. A rare veteran, when Liu Xian talked to him, Cheng Zhi was also a very kind person, not the kind of treacherous villain, he had been in the army all his life, in addition to taking normal military salaries, there should not be much income, this is going to retire and return to his hometown, Liu Xian is also to express his respect for the veterans in the Han Army, and send a little money, so that he will not be too pretentious.
After the Liufu caravan set off, the road was indeed much smoother, and in the afternoon of the same day, the Liufu caravan arrived in Luoyang.
Luoyang, the thousand-year-old capital.
When Liu Xian saw Luoyang City from afar, he was indeed shocked.
Not only Liu Xian, but also the caravan who had not been to Luoyang Capital, Zhang Ning, Huang Wudie, and Yi Ji who accompanied Liu Xian, they were also shocked by the majestic giant city in front of them.
It really deserves to be the capital of the Han Dynasty, from afar, you can see a tall and magnificent city wall in front of you, just one side of the city wall, it is more than ten miles long, look at it, extend to both sides, as if you can't see the end.
The slanting sun in the evening, exuding golden rays, illuminates the entire Luoyang City as if bathed in a golden ocean, the atmosphere is majestic, and it naturally has a bit of wealth.
Along the official road to the east gate of Luoyang City, at this time, pedestrians are weaving, carriages in and out, noisy sounds, can be faintly heard from afar.
"What's the matter, this is Luoyang, the capital of our Han Dynasty. With a population of millions, I believe that there is no city in the world that can match Luoyang's majestic and huge, so prosperous. Little Marquis, when you enter the city, it will definitely open your eyes. ”
Zhao He said with a little smugness in front of Liu Xian.
He said with a bit of ostentation: "The palace in the inner city of the city is naturally the most luxurious place, but in addition to the palace, there are also some palaces of the emperor's relatives, the mansions of the powerful in Beijing, the mansions of the rich district, and some wine shops, Qinglou taverns, gambling houses, pawnshops from all walks of life, peddlers and pawns, in Luoyang, as long as you can't think of it, as long as you can think of something, no matter which aspect of eating, drinking and playing, it will make you satisfied." Little Marquis, when you come to Beijing this time, you must have a good look, these are definitely not what you can see in local cities and ordinary villages and towns. ”
"Hehe......" Liu Xian smiled noncommittally.
This Luoyang capital, no matter how prosperous it is, where can it be compared to those world cities in the future?
In later generations, Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou, and Shenzhen, as well as some provincial capitals and municipalities directly under the central government, etc., were definitely more prosperous than the ancient capital.
However, those Qinglou gambling houses or something, this is not, at least it will not be so blatantly operated. It is other cities in the world, such as Tokyo in the small day, Lundun in the United Kingdom, New York in the United States, and so on.
Don't want to see those Qinglou blockages or something, when Zhao He was talking, the three girls next to Liu Xian stared at Zhao He with murderous eyes, and this thing didn't even notice it.
"Let's talk about that." Liu Xian then said to Zhao He: "Lord Zhao, don't be in a hurry to see the prosperity of Luoyang. Ben Gongzi only wants to know whether Ben Gongzi's Liu Mansion caravan can enter the capital smoothly, and where will the Liu Mansion caravan settle after entering the capital. Also, did this son go directly to see the nobles of the horse? ”
"Well, this, the Liu Mansion caravan is indeed too large, these thousands of people and horses, and so many oxen, carriages, and goods on the carts. It's really not easy to find a place to settle down in the capital. Zhao has a suggestion, after Zhao and the defenders of the capital explain the situation, your Liu Mansion caravan will first camp outside the city, and then Liu Xiangongzi and Zhao will go to the palace before you wait, and wait in front of the palace gate, and after Zhao goes in to return to the emperor, see how the emperor's will will be said, how? Perhaps, the emperor will summon you to the palace to see you. ”
Liu Xian glanced at Zhao He coldly, and said, "Our Plains Mansion must still have a palace in the capital, and it won't be too small to come to the Plains Palace, right?" Settle me, this Liu Mansion caravan should be more than Zhuo Zhuo. Since my son is seriously ill, I want to go directly to see it and see how the situation is. ”
"You can't ......" Zhao He couldn't help but be anxious when he heard this, and waved his hand again and again: "Little Marquis, although it is said that you will see Ma Guiren first when you enter Beijing, this is indeed the filial piety of the Son of Man, but Little Marquis, you were summoned to Beijing by the emperor." Naturally, we have to look at the emperor's will first. In the capital, it is not as good as in the place, everything has to be exquisite. Not to mention ......"
"Oh? And these exquisite? What's more? ”
Zhao is saying that Ma Guiren is seriously ill, and the emperor is very likely to summon her into the palace to recuperate. So ......"
"Is that so?" Liu Xian frowned, then his eyes widened, staring at Zhao He and said: "This son doesn't care, whether the righteous lady is in the Plains Mansion or not, but this son also has to bring the Liu Mansion caravan in first...... If it doesn't work, then Ben Gongzi will not enter Beijing first, you negotiate with the city defenders before, and let them assign a place to my Liu Mansion caravan, and Ben Gongzi will be in his own camp with the caravan. ”
"This, this is okay, then Zhao went to negotiate before."
Zhao He said a little anxiously.
Zhao He was indeed very anxious, because Ma Guiren was not sick at all, and even the emperor did not let Ma Guiren know about the summoning of Liu Xian to Beijing. And the most important thing is that Ma Guiren is now under house arrest and confined to the Plains Palace.
If Liu Xian followed him to the palace, whether it was summoned by the emperor, or he just found an excuse to let Liu Xian enter the palace, then Liu Xian's life and death would be up to anyone.
Don't look at Zhao He being secretly coerced by Liu Xian, he has been honest for a few days, but entering the palace is equivalent to returning to his own home and returning to the place he can control. At this time, Liu Xian was destroyed in the palace, such a small person, who knows him? If you die, you will die, and no one will avenge Liu Xian.
Even if he came all the way, it did let many people know about the Liu Mansion caravan and the name of Liu Xian. But so what? Could it be that those who know Liu Xian's name will be upset by Liu Xian's death? What's more, in the palace, if Liu Xian is destroyed, who will know?
is the so-called official two-in-command, and when the time comes, it can be completely claimed that Liu Xian is serving the seriously ill Ma Guiren in the palace. In this way, no one will know about Liu Xian's life or death, and no one will say that the emperor is not.
After a long time, who still knows Liu Xian?
Liu Xian must die. Zhao He did not have any doubts about this. He couldn't solve Liu Xian by transferring the military horses in Hanoi, which really made him feel very regretful. originally wanted to make a contribution and show his face in front of the emperor. But he didn't kill Liu Xian, and it didn't matter, because it was just his private behavior. As long as Liu Xian enters the palace, there is only one way to die.
But Liu Xian was there, but he said that he wanted to be with the Liu Mansion caravan, and he had no choice, and now, it was impossible for him to force Liu Xian to enter the palace with him.
But he thought about it, since Liu Xian had already come to the capital, he was still afraid that Liu Xian would run away, right? I have been with Liu Xian these days, and I have been stared at too closely, and I have no chance to make some small moves, and I don't even have a chance to talk to the court. At this time, it is also possible to enter the city first, wait for the palace, meet the emperor, and state the situation to the emperor.
"Then go ahead." Liu Xian waved his hand and asked Zhao He to go and negotiate with the defenders.
Luoyang City is indeed very large and prosperous, but Liu Xian felt a hint of danger.
Liu Xian came to Beijing with the Liu Mansion caravan, in addition to opening up sales channels for some of his own goods that have not yet appeared in the world, making a name for himself, and making a fortune first, taking the Liu Mansion caravan is equivalent to bringing a guard army, and with the protection of this caravan guard, Liu Xian can feel at ease.
Now Zhao He wants to let him go to Beijing with him first and go to the palace?
Hehe, Liu Xian would not enter the Beijing Palace alone if he was killed, because Liu Xian knew very well how the current general He Jin would die in the future.
