Chapter Eighty-Five: Accompanying the King is Like Accompanying the Tiger [Asking for Votes, Asking for Recommendation Votes!] 】
"Huangfu Gong, you have made outstanding achievements in quelling the rebellion of the Yellow Turban and rebelling against the party, you are famous all over the world, from Emperor Ling, down to the people of Limin, everyone has great respect for you, and Emperor Ling also enshrined you as the pastor of Jizhou, it is not difficult to see that His Majesty the Emperor values you."
"However, when a person's merit and power are at their peak, it is often also the moment when the person is most dangerous."
In the study, there were only Huangfu Song and Yan Zhong, so Yan Zhong was blunt, he said straight to the point: "In the past ten years, Emperor Ling set up the West Garden to sell officials and lords, and set up various names to collect money, he only wanted to enjoy himself, but put the people of the world in the midst of fire and water, and finally made the heavens angry and resentful, and the people's hearts were lost. ”
"Huangfu Gong, it is a well-known thing that Emperor Ling is greedy for money, but why did you ask for a one-year exemption from Jizhou's taxes, which is obviously a request to cut off his financial route, and he will agree to you?"
"Why did you agree, because the merit is high."
Seeing this scene with his divine sense secretly, Jiang Xiaobai's eyes flashed slightly, this Yan Zhong is very bold, if these words come out, not only Yan Zhong will be beheaded by the whole family, but also by the nine clans.
"This person is interesting, I'll watch it for a while, and I'll ...... it for the last time" Jiang Xiaobai continued to read with interest.
In the study, Huangfu Song looked at Yan Zhong quietly, watching this person say something rebellious, his eyes narrowed, and he didn't speak.
"The reason why Emperor Ling agreed to this request is for two reasons, one is that the Emperor Fu Gong has made an unrewarded contribution, and whatever request you make at this time, Emperor Ling will agree, because you are a meritorious hero of the Han family, there are countless pairs of eyes in the court, and the people of the world are also staring at it, if he does not agree, it will chill the hearts of the people of the world."
Yan Zhong's words were exquisite, and he could see that these words were planned by him for a long time, and they were not his intention to die.
"But in fact, the second reason is the most critical, that is, you now have 30,000 elite soldiers under your hands, this army has grown into a tiger and leopard army after a year of conquest and baptism of war, and this army can be said to be the most terrifying force in the Han Dynasty today."
"The war to quell the rebellion against the Yellow Turban is over, it stands to reason that the soldiers will be disarmed and return to the field, Emperor Ling is the most right not to allow anyone to raise the army under his nose, dare to ask Huangfu Gong, before you return to Jizhou, can Emperor Ling let you disband the army?"
Looking at Yan Zhong's scorching eyes, Huangfu Song frowned slightly, he didn't like the other party's eyes very much, that kind of look was very dangerous.
Facing Yan Zhong's question, he pondered for a while, then shook his head and said.
"Nope."
"Huangfu Gong, do you know why Emperor Ling didn't ask you to disband the army?"
"I don't know."
"Because of the Spirit Emperor, he doesn't dare!"
Yan Zhong said with a smile: "After the soldiers have finished fighting, it is normal for them to disarm and return to the field, and they have done this throughout the ages, but Emperor Ling did not dare to take the initiative to speak, because he was afraid that you would not agree, and he was afraid that you would not be willing to let go of this powerful force." ”
"If Your Majesty speaks, the minister will never say anything." Huangfu Song said.
"Haha, the heart of the Huangfu Gong Kuang to support the Han family is obvious to everyone, but now what is in front of the Huangfu Gong is that you have a heavy army in your hands, and your achievements are high, and the world only knows the Huangfu Song, but you don't know the Spirit Emperor Liu Hong, you can not admit it, but this is the truth."
"How can you allow others to snore on the side of the couch, Emperor Ling, as a monarch, how can you tolerate you, Huangfu Gong, you seem to have infinite scenery, but in fact you are in danger!"
Yan Zhong's words were loud, he had already made it very clear, Huangfu Song, who was a master of high merit, even if he had no ideas in his heart, his loyalty to the Han family could be learned.
But a companion is like a tiger, and no one knows what Emperor Liu Hong of the Han Dynasty will think in his heart.
Huangfu Song was silent, he didn't know how to speak, because what Yan Zhong said was the truth, even if he disbanded the army, but the emperors of the past and present, which one of them was not suspicious, if he disbanded the army on the spot, in order to show his loyalty, but this move fell in the eyes of Emperor Liu Hong of the Han Dynasty, maybe he wanted to cover up.
If you don't have a ghost in your heart, why do you need to prove your innocence?
This is Huangfu Song's current situation, as Yan Zhong said, on the surface, he seems to be infinitely beautiful, but in fact, he is in a dilemma.
In the study, neither Huangfu Song nor Yan Zhong spoke again, and the silence was terrifying.
Jiang Xiaobai, who was in the dark, could clearly feel that there was invisible oppression in the study at this moment.
Yan Zhong's words were like lifting the bride's red hijab, forcing Huangfu Song to face the facts in front of him.
And Huangfu Song's attitude at this time determined Yan Zhong's life and death.
Tonight, Yan Zhong's words are very rebellious, once Huangfu Song reveals it, Yan Zhong will definitely die.
Therefore, at this moment, both of them are facing the pressure exerted by the other party on each other, this pressure is like a mountain, Jiang Xiaobai, who is secretly observing, can't help but hold his breath, and he is also looking forward to what choice Huangfu Song will make.
After being silent for a long time, Huangfu Song finally spoke.
"The old man quelled the rebellion of the Yellow Turban and rebelled against the party, isn't it wrong......"
The voice of this sentence was very soft, Huangfu Song seemed to be asking Yan Zhong, and it was like asking himself, when he said this, he seemed to be twenty years old all of a sudden, and his straight back suddenly became rickety.
This veteran general, who is over half a hundred years old, has dedicated his life to the Han family.
The Yellow Turban Rebellion, the world was in turmoil, Huangfu Song turned the tide and fell, supported the building to fall, and made immortal achievements, if it were not for him, how could the Central Plains land be restored to stability so quickly.
Such a hero, does he have to die in the end!
"In history, many people have encountered the same situation as him, such as Yue Fei and Zhao Kuangyin, they are all high-ranking masters, just because of different choices, the ending is not the same."
In the dark, Jiang Xiaobai silently thought that in the long course of history, how the monarch can effectively control the military generals has always been a difficult problem.
Especially for those generals who have heavy troops and high achievements, how to effectively control them has become the most difficult problem to solve in all dynasties.
As a modern person, if Jiang Xiaobai was given a choice, he would choose to rebel.
Just because I've made a great contribution, just because I'm too dazzling, just because I'm too good, should I die?
Why!
At this moment, Jiang Xiaobai couldn't wait to rush into the study to make a decision for Huangfu Song.
wanted to think about it, but Jiang Xiaobai didn't do it, because he knew that the purpose of Yan Zhong's coming tonight was to persuade Huangfu Song to raise an army to rebel.
From the very beginning, Yan Zhong congratulated Huangfu Song for his unappreciated achievements, and later broke the undeclared worries of Liu Hong, the emperor of Han Ling, who was the monarch, and revealed the real situation of Huangfu Song now......
This step-by-step plan, Yan Zhong's cycle is gradual, and his ultimate goal is to tell Huangfu Song that if he wants to live, he only needs to rebel.
