Chapter 407: The Eunuch's Shadow

Hanoi County is a famous county in the Han Dynasty. The geographical location is in the northern part of Henan and the southern part of Hebei.

In terms of geographical location, Hanoi is actually a region under the jurisdiction of Ji Zhou, but in fact, although Hanoi is a county, it is not under the jurisdiction of Ji Zhou. It is under the jurisdiction of the Division. Therefore, Huangfu Song, the Jizhou pastor, cannot manage the affairs of Hanoi County.

Although Huang Fu Song has been dismissed and no longer serves as the pastor of Jizhou, the officials of various counties and counties in Jizhou basically have a little relationship with Huang Fu Song. Although the imperial court has now dismissed Huangfu Song, there is no new Taishou, and the officials in the counties below Jizhou will not change much for the time being.

Zhao He simply and rudely wanted the officers and soldiers of the government to turn into robbers and bandits to attack Liu Xian's Liu Mansion caravan and eradicate Liu Xian, in Jizhou, he really didn't have much to do.

The court's powerful ministers, eunuchs, relatives, etc., have always maintained a delicate balance of interests. Basically, the eunuchs held the authority of the palace, and the ministers had a greater say in the court and a greater decision on foreign affairs.

In normal times, as long as there is no big conflict of interest, they can also maintain a kind of restraint and will not fall to the death. As far as the current situation of the imperial court is concerned, this balance has not yet been broken.

The chamberlains from the palace, such as Zhao He, can directly face the saint and have a natural advantage, so as long as they go to the place, then the local officials, whether they have a background or not, will maintain a respectful attitude towards them on the surface, and even accept the bribes of those palace attendants, so that they can return as satisfied as possible.

However, if those chamberlains want to meddle in many interests outside the palace, then it will definitely not work. Especially when they want to grasp the military power in other places, they will encounter strong opposition and even counterattacks from those powerful ministers and relatives.

In other words, those eunuchs in the palace, they seem to be powerful, but in fact, as long as they leave the palace, then they are not much of a threat.

This Zhao He, he can return to the capital, and after returning to the palace, he can directly face the saint, he can tell right and wrong, and he can frame anyone casually. As long as the emperor believes it, then he can use the name of the emperor to attack others. However, if he wanted to kill someone outside, it would not be too easy.

If it is a person like Lu Zhi who is both upright and a little pedantic, it is better to say that as long as there is the emperor's holy decree, even if he knows that he has no sin at all, he will be willing to be arrested, let him be arrested in Beijing, and wait for the emperor to deal with it. However, if he dares to use trumped-up charges to make Liu Xian arrest and be at their mercy, it is impossible. If one is not good, if Liu Xian is forced to rebel, he will first take his life.

In fact, it's not just Liu Xian, now all over the Han Dynasty, those who really hold a certain amount of real power will not be easy to comply. For example, does he have the courage to arrest Gongsun Chan on trumped-up charges? Do you dare to move Sun Jian? Do you want to move them?

Even if it was Liu Bei, he dared to whip the superintendent and hang the seal away, how could he let ordinary villains take it at will?

To be honest, today's Han Dynasty does not have too many estimates that can be handled casually by using imperial power, and it is estimated that only people like Lu Zhi and Huangfu Song who are loyal and loyal to the Han Dynasty will be willing to be at the mercy of the imperial court.

Like Huangfu Song, he is a Jizhou pastor, in charge of a state, and he has 100,000 pairs of military horses in his hands. I know that it is a holy decree of the eunuchs in the palace to gain power, and I don't know if it is a holy decree falsely passed on by those eunuchs.

If Huang Fu Song was not loyal to the Han court, in fact, someone had already advised Huang Fu Song to support his troops and respect himself, but Huang Fu Song did not listen to his advice. If Huangfu Song does not obey the will of the Holy Decree and supports his own troops in Jizhou, then it will be a disaster for the Han, and it is possible that the entire Han will collapse in advance.

Therefore, Zhao He really didn't dare to move Liu Xian easily, and he was also worried that he really didn't dare to expect Liu Xian to obediently submit to his persecution.

In the Jizhou territory, he did not have the power and ability to mobilize the officers and soldiers of Jizhou, nor did he have the courage to discuss with the officials of the various governments in Jizhou about the action against Liu Xian. Once this leaked, Zhao He was really worried about whether he still had his life.

Liu Xian was a strongman who dared to fight with tens of thousands of Montenegrin Yellow Turban Army, not only defeated the Montenegrin Yellow Turban Army, but also killed the big leader of the Montenegrin Yellow Turban Army. Now as long as his eyes are not blind, Zhao He can also see that Liu Xian has actually become a local tyrant, and the entire Yangshi County and Liulin Village ...... No, it should be said that it is Liulin City, so many people will obey Liu Xian's orders. If he dares to deal with Liu Xian, then he really doesn't know how to die.

Zhao He is really not stupid, so he doesn't dare to do anything to Liu Xian in the Jizhou territory.

However, he also had to deal with Liu Xian, because Liu Xian entered Beijing with great fanfare, so that after Liu Xian arrived in the capital, even the emperor would not be able to deal with Liu Xian openly. If Liu Xianshun is really allowed to arrive in the capital like this, and then make some movements in the capital, it will be very difficult to destroy Liu Xian at that time.

It's impossible to really mobilize a large number of military horses to destroy Liu Xian, right? When Liu Xian became famous in the capital, it was unlikely that he would quietly kill Liu Xian. If Liu Xian had an accident in the capital, then anyone with a discerning eye would know that the emperor killed Liu Xian, and in this way, it would have a bad impact on the emperor's reputation and reputation.

Therefore, Zhao He decided to deal with Liu Xian.

Even if you can't kill Liu Xian, you have to stop Liu Xian's Liu Mansion caravan from going to Luoyang. If you can successfully take all the goods of the Liu Mansion caravan, it will be the best.

Zhao He rushed to Hanoi almost as fast as he could.

The eunuchs in the palace, it is indeed difficult for them to control the place, and it is difficult to control the military power of the place.

However, they are not willing to just be in the palace, they have been operating in the palace for decades, and they always want to extend their tentacles beyond the palace. In the long-term dotting, secretly buying, more or less have a little achievement.

Today's Hanoi Taishou is the one who belongs to their eunuchs.

Hanoi Taishou, naturally not Wang Kuang, one of the princes of the Eighteen Roads during the later crusade against Dong Zhuo, during this period, Wang Kuang had just been appointed by the general He Jin to serve as the general's mansion.

Now Hanoi's Taishou is Wu Jin, like Liu Jie, the Taishou of Beihai County, he is a person who has not left a name in the history of the Three Kingdoms.

Although Hanoi is under the jurisdiction of Sili Prefecture, in fact, its place belongs to the Hebei of Jizhou, and there is a Yellow River separated by it, which seems to be a place outside Sili Prefecture.

The reason why Hanoi is under the jurisdiction of Si Lizhou is actually because Hanoi can herd horses, and here, in fact, is a relatively safe horse ranch in Dahan. Because of this, it will be placed under the jurisdiction of Sili Prefecture.

There are eight towns or eight gates in Sili Prefecture to guard the capital of Luoyang. In a strategic sense, Hanoi seems to be less important than the eight towns. Especially in the last years of the Han Dynasty, places like Hanoi were actually not very valued by the Han court. Because the imperial court no longer opened horse farms in Hanoi, it did not spend any more money on training Han cavalry.

After He Jin becomes a general, he will definitely use his own people to control the military power of the eight major towns, and if they are not He Jin's people, or if they are not people He Jin trusts, then they will definitely be removed or transferred.

Wu Jin is not He Jin's person, and he did not take the initiative to take refuge in He Jin, so he will naturally be transferred. Originally, it was planned to be directly removed from his post and transferred to an unimportant military post in the general army.

At this time, the eunuch in the palace, who had always wanted to put his hand on the army, took a fancy to Wu Jin, and contacted Wu Jin, and if possible, helped Wu Jin keep his official position, although Wu Jin could no longer preside over in important places, but he got Wu Jin to Hanoi to serve as the Hanoi Taishou.

This Wu Jin, in fact, is not a good bird, he originally had some backgrounds, but his relationship with the court is gone, mainly because the court official who originally recommended him has returned to the field in old age, and he is no longer in the court. In fact, he also wanted to vote for He Jin, but at the beginning, his relationship between the DPRK and China belonged to a certain party of the powerful ministers of the DPRK and China, and it was opposed to the party of his relatives. Under such a big background, it is impossible for him to take refuge in Hejin.

The eunuch in the palace suddenly extended an olive branch to him, which made Wu Jin overjoyed, so he took the opportunity to join the eunuch party in the palace and became the eunuch's secret son outside.

During this period, the eunuchs arranged shadows outside the court, which was indeed shadows, and they did not dare to expose these shadows. Once it is leaked out, let the ministers and relatives of the court know that they actually control the army in some places outside, then they will definitely suffer a crazy blow from the ministers and relatives of the court.

A group of eunuchs, holding the local military power, what do you want to do? Do you want to rebel? For such a crime alone, those eunuchs did not dare to bear it. Even if they don't have to be hit with such a crime, the affairs outside the court, the powerful ministers and their relatives, they can handle their people as they want, and if they are destroyed, they will be destroyed, and they will not even dare to fart.

So, these are secrets.

These shadows will not move easily, because these shadows will be the hole cards of those eunuchs.

Now, Zhao He can't care so much.

Hanoi County is different from Beihai County or even Julu County, so there is not much limit to the number of officers and soldiers in Hanoi County. After all, this is under the jurisdiction of the division, and the military horses here are directly under the command of the imperial court, and the more the army, it is naturally better.

Therefore, there are now 20,000 military horses in Hanoi, most of which are guarding important passes and towns in order to prevent attacks by the Yellow Turban Army.

The military horses stationed in Qinyang, the county capital, were five or six thousand people.

Because Hanoi is under the jurisdiction of Si Li Prefecture, the military horses of some important Guan towns are actually directly transferred by the Si Li Prefecture side, even if Hanoi is too guarded, they generally have no right to transfer. In other words, Wu Jin, the Hanoi Taishou, can really use military horses, in fact, five or six thousand men and horses stationed in Qinyang City.

In order to keep it secret, Zhao He quietly went to Qinyang City, he asked the people who escorted him to go to the Yellow River crossing first, and he himself escorted him to Qinyang with more than a dozen people.

went straight to Qinyang and met Wu Jin.

Zhao He directly entered the secret room with Wu to talk to him.

Wu Jin knew Zhao He and knew that Zhao He was the confidant of Zhao Zhong, the tenth permanent servant. In fact, Wu Jin, Zhao Zhong, and Zhao He are all from Yecheng, and they are all fellow villagers.

Wu Jin was a little surprised that Zhao He suddenly came to see him quietly, and after serving tea and sitting down, Wu Jin asked, "Lord Zhao, why did you come to see Wu in a hurry?" Does Lord Chang have any orders for Wu? ”

"No, Wu Taishou, you should have heard of Liu Xian of Liu Mansion in Julu Liulin Village, right?" Zhao He said.

There are some things that Zhao He naturally can't explain to Wu Jin clearly.

"I've heard about it, but I don't pay much attention to it, it's just a Han clan relative who came out of nowhere." Wu Jin said disappreliantly.

"Heh, this Liu Xian, although he is not very old, it is not simple, he is now the young master of the Plains Palace...... In addition......" Zhao He briefly talked to Wu Jin about Liu Xian, and then said with a vague expression: "This Liu Xian must die, understand?" But now he is making a big fanfare, making a caravan, escorting goods, and entering Beijing in a mighty way, this movement is really too big, if he is really allowed to enter Beijing like this, everyone in the Han world will definitely know that he Liu Xian entered Beijing. In this way, it is not easy to kill him quietly. Beware of the mouths of the people. ”

Liu Xian...... Well, what about Lord Zhao's opinion? Wu Jin said in a low voice.

Zhao He's eyes showed murderous intent, and said: "Liu Xian's Liu Mansion caravan will definitely pass through the boundary of Hanoi and cross the river at the crossing of the Yellow River." You transferred a military horse, turned into a robbing bandit, and took advantage of Liu Xian's caravan to cross the river, robbed his caravan, and killed Liu Xian. ”

Wu Jin secretly took a breath of cold air when he heard this, and said with some uneasiness in his heart: "Lord Zhao, do you really want to do this?" Although Wu is too guarded by Hanoi, he can't cover the sky with one hand and mobilize the military horses, he will definitely let the above know, if this is known to the above, especially if General He Jin knows, then Wu will be finished......"

"Don't worry, I can tell you, killing Liu Xian is not just what we in the palace meant, that's what that person meant." Zhao He said, stretching out his finger and pointing to the sky.

"Really?"

"Of course, as long as you kill Liu Xian and take away the goods of the Liu Mansion caravan. This is a great achievement, of course, this credit cannot be said, but we will all remember your credit, indispensable for your benefits. Zhao He said to Wu Jin with an affirmative face.

"Everything Wu has now can be said to be given by you, but I don't dare to be greedy. This benefit ......," Wu Jin said excitedly.

"Huangfu Song wasn't removed, right? Now that Jizhou Mu has not been officially appointed, if you do a good job, our family will definitely sponsor you to the top at that time. ”

Jizhou pastor? Wu Jin almost jumped up with excitement.
