Chapter 8: The General's Decision

The Western Han Dynasty was established by Liu Bang, the ancestor of the Han Dynasty, and the capital was Chang'an; The Eastern Han Dynasty was established by Liu Xiu, Emperor Guangwu of the Han Dynasty, and the capital was Luoyang. During this period www.biquge.info there was a brief new dynasty (8 AD-23 AD) in which Wang Mang usurped the Han Dynasty and established itself.

Although Liu Bang of the Han Dynasty was a second-rate man, the Han Dynasty he founded was indeed great.

Unlike the short-lived unification of the Qin Dynasty, the Han Dynasty did indeed recuperate, and the Huang Lao School advocated in the Western Han Dynasty, as well as the Confucian culture of the Eastern Han Dynasty, paid great attention to the livelihood of the people. During the Qin Dynasty, the population was said to be 20 million and some said to be 30 million, but in the Han Dynasty, the population grew to 60 million.

The Han Dynasty was a great dynasty in the world at that time, and the Han Dynasty from Gaozu of the Han Dynasty to the Wenjing period of the Han Dynasty saw its economic strength rise sharply and became the first empire in the East, known as the two major empires along with Western Rome. The major powers of Central Asia and the Western Regions were also afraid of it. By the time of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, the Han Empire had become the most powerful empire in the world, and the Xiongnu Empire was defeated and fled northward. Zhang Qian's departure from the Western Regions opened the famous "Silk Road" for the first time, opening the passage of trade between the East and the West, and China became the center of the world trade system until the Mongol rebellion more than a thousand years later. It is precisely because of the prestige of the Han Dynasty that foreigners began to call the Chinese "Han people", and the Han Dynasty people were happy to call themselves so, and "Han" has since become the eternal name of the great Chinese Chinese nation.

"Those who commit strong men will be punished even if they are far away!" This sentence is not just a slogan, but it enhances the morale of an entire nation. The Han Dynasty was the first time to take the initiative to attack, and the Huns who had been committing crimes were driven away like the wild dogs of the lost family, and the wolf Juxu was a monument in the Han Dynasty.

The heyday of the Han Dynasty was a dynasty with a clear division of labor between civil and military, military generals were responsible for defending the country and expelling foreign enemies, and civil officials were responsible for political affairs to improve people's livelihood. In the entire Han Dynasty, from the scholars to the common people, they were still full of blood, and the invaders must die!

Even in the late Eastern Han Dynasty, holding Hu Ren or something, he had to not only chop his hands but also chop his head together, and there were many people guarding the border, such as Gongsun Zhan, who was guarding the frontier in Youzhou, if he was not killed by Yuan Shao, maybe he would become the next Wei Qing.

During the four hundred years of the Han Dynasty, the common people had become accustomed to the rule of the Liu family, the son of heaven of the Han Dynasty, and according to most people, even if they suffered, they all held the idea that the Son of Heaven was good, but they were just deceived by his officials, and as long as the Son of Heaven found out, he would definitely get better.

However, the emperors of the late Eastern Han Dynasty were more able to die than one another, and their abilities were worse than Liu Xiu and Liu Che, and they didn't know that there were hundreds of streets, so no matter how big the family business was, they couldn't withstand the toss of the sons of the losers from generation to generation!

It can be said that after 400 years of rule, the emperor of the Han Dynasty has become a deified image, and the orthodox dominance of the Han imperial family was not really overthrown until the end of the Three Kingdoms. 220 or 221? And now it is 189 years, so it will take 30 years of war to make the statue of the Han Dynasty collapse, and the current Yellow Turban Rebellion is just a new crack added to the statue before it collapsed.

Liu Wei is also quite pitiful, the emperor who has only been the emperor for a long time is about to be poisoned, and Liu Xie, it is said that Liu Xie is still quite good, if it weren't for the bad stall, he would still be a master of Zhongxing......

Fei Qian sat on an ox cart and went to Cuijiazhuang in Beibi Mountain, while thinking irresponsibly.

Anyway, how old is Liu Wei and Liu Xie this year? Liu Wei seems to be a little older, the eldest son, fifteen or sixteen years old? Pretty much. Liu Xie seems to be much younger, is he seven or eight years old?

In the next generation, one is only in middle school and the other is in elementary school, and they are still pink and tender!

*************

When Fei Qian was free outside the city without any burden, the head of the general He Jin was about to explode.

How could a seemingly simple thing be said by all these guys under his command? The point is that there is some truth in what is said, how to choose this?

The eunuch has just sent an edict, the content of which is that the Empress Dowager He invited General He Jin into the palace for a talk.

Although He Jin was born as a butcher, he is now a general after all, and there are still a bunch of people under his hands, such as Chen Lin, his main bookkeeper is Wu Kuang, and the three princes who later became famous, Yuan Shao, Yuan Shu, and Cao Cao.

Although He Jin has been a general, but his humble background makes him very contradictory when facing the Shi family, he is not only arrogant, but also inferior to death in his heart, he is actually very eager to be recognized by the Shi family, and originally thought that he would eventually become a member of the Shi family.

Therefore, when Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu, the children of the super family of the fourth world and the third prince, came to the front and became his subordinates, He Jin drank all night of wine that night, happy, he was a butcher who cut meat and sold meat, but now he let the first-class scholar family bow his head and obey his orders in front of him, how can it make people unhappy and excited?

But after all, his background is too poor, although after ascending to a high position, he also tried to study hard in private, but after all, there is no one to guide him, and he lacks the perseverance to work hard, so he has only half a bucket of water so far, and has learned some superficial skills, as for what the governing council, planning and so on do not understand.

He doesn't understand political opponents, has no iron fist, and has soft ears and no opinions, which is also the root cause of He Jin's swaying left and right in dealing with eunuchs, which eventually led to his own tragedy.

Just like now, He Jin feels that he can't make up his mind. He gathered his subordinates to discuss it, but he found it more nerve-wracking.

The number one nerve-wracking is his own master book, Chen Lin, Chen Kongzhang.

He Jin's main book, Chen Lin, known as one of the "Seven Sons of Jian'an", has profound literary attainments, especially good at poetry. It turned out that Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty arranged for Chen Lin to be the chief bookkeeper of the General's Mansion in order to increase the cultural value of He Jin, who was unlearned and unskilled, but Chen Lin and He Jin really couldn't pee in a pot. One is a literati, the other is a rough man, one likes wind and snow, and the other likes fine wine women, and there is really no common topic. At first, He Jin still had a little bit of learning and progress, but later he found that it was so difficult for him to increase his knowledge, and he began to make all kinds of relieves of skin.

Chen Lin persuaded and tried hard, but it had no effect, and finally gave up completely, he originally looked down on this He butcher, and now he no longer has any hope for He Jin, just do the thing at hand, if He Jin has a question to ask him, he will answer, and he doesn't care whether He Jin listens or does it, and completely becomes a wood carving statue.

Just like He Jin asked him just now what he thought of this edict of the Empress Dowager He, he said with a little contempt, "The edict of the Empress Dowager must be the strategy of the ten permanent servants, and you must not go, and it will be a disaster if you go." "After speaking, you don't explain, why do you like to listen, don't listen to the roll-you can't see such a simple thing, your head is stuffed with wine and meat women?

He Jin is actually very depressed, I am just a rough person, every time I talk to you, I am cautious, and I die of hard work, this is obviously the edict of the Queen Mother, how did I get in touch with the Ten Standing Servants again? You don't explain it either? I go to danger, what kind of danger, how much danger? Look at your contemptuous face, thinking that I can't see it if I'm a coarse person? If it weren't for your fame, Lao Tzu would have asked someone to whip you to let you know how red the flowers are!

He Jin still didn't know what to do after thinking about it, so he had to pull down his face and ask: "The Queen Mother edicted me, what's the trouble?" "Do you know that if I don't go, I will disobey the holy decree, although Empress Dowager He is my sister, but I can't bear so many trolls staring at it, and it will be strange if I don't get sprayed into a sieve when the time comes!

It's a pity that He Jin asked, his face was not aimed at Chen Lin, and he didn't ask Chen Lin by name, so Chen Lin pretended not to hear it with half a Rada eye, and made it clear that a stupid person was asking some stupid question, and he didn't need to explain if he was obedient.

There was silence in the hall.

General, what is the name of the question you are asking?

Master Chen was silent, and the people below were not very easy to answer.

Or did Yuan Shao break the silence and save He Jin's field: "Today's plot has been leaked, the matter has been revealed, and the general still wants to enter the palace?" "General He Jin, what a good question you asked! How do we know what danger there will be, and we are not the eunuchs, how can we know what they are going to do with you?

What's more, General He Jin, why did you go earlier? Didn't you remind you of Dou Wu's matter, he hesitated and didn't hesitate to start, now it's okay, the eunuchs know that you have to deal with them, and now that our plan has been leaked, what are you still going to the palace to look for? Anyway, there is a danger in entering the palace, as for what the danger looks like, I'm sorry, I don't know.

Cao Cao also squeaked on the side: "Call the ten permanent servants out first, and then you can enter." "Cao Cao came up with an idea of drawing salaries from the bottom of the kettle, didn't he say that the ten permanent servants were going to make crooked moves, and get these people outside the palace first, so even if there was any danger in the palace, the people who didn't take the lead would not work, and then there would definitely be no danger when you entered.

This idea sounds good, but unfortunately, like the last one, it is not very executable.

In addition to Cao Cao's background and some relationship with the eunuchs, he himself is really not optimistic about He Jin and the eunuchs breaking up, the fight between relatives and eunuchs is an excellent tradition in the Han Dynasty, how much ability do you have as a He butcher to completely eliminate the eunuchs? I don't know what the danger is, but I'll give you an idea to promise that it will be solved, and whether I can do it is another matter.

He Jin didn't get angry after listening to Cao Cao's suggestion, last time you said that it would be okay to solve the eunuch and find a jailer, I really believed it, but the result was still Yuan Shao, explain it to me, saying that this is a thing that looks beautiful but is actually impossible, I haven't even settled accounts with you, what idea did you give me?

If I can directly order the Ten Constant Servants to go here and there, I still have to deal with the Ten Permanent Attendants? It is because they do not obey my commands, what do you say to call them out? What is the call?

He Jinqi smiled and said, "This child's opinion is also." I am in charge of the world, how do I dare to wait? "Did you hear that, Xiao'er, it's you Cao Cao Cao Agui, don't think I'm so foolish, I'm a general in power, be careful that I turn my face.

Yuan Shao arched his hand and said: "The prince will want to go, and I will lead the armor guards to guard in case of accidents." "If you want to die, then die, anyway, we have done what we should do, and bringing more people to deter those eunuchs is also a little deterrent.

He Jin nodded, this was a good suggestion, so he took out the tiger talisman and asked Yuan Shao and Cao Cao to send five hundred people each as guards. If you want to do it, you have to make it louder, how can dozens or hundreds of people bring out the majesty of my He Jin?

At this time, Yuan Shu unexpectedly stood up and took the initiative to ask: "Originally, Brother Meng De has a job, I am afraid it will be inconvenient, if I take it, I will ensure that the general is thorough." "Yuan Shao, Cao Cao is the eighth lieutenant of Xiyuan who has an official post, and it is right to have the general's tiger talisman to transfer soldiers, but after all, there is no order from the emperor, and it is difficult to explain it when it is investigated, it is better to be led by me, who has no official position, and it will not be true.

This truth is still true, but why is Yuan Shu, who usually doesn't work hard, so active today? Yuan Shao's heart moved, and he turned his head to look at Cao Cao.

Cao Cao also reacted at the same time and gave Yuan Shao a look, something is abnormal, there must be a cat!
