Wang Lin stood beside the Empress Dowager He, she looked at Chen Cheng who was draped all over her body in surprise, and gradually connected the face in front of her with the beautiful young man who had appeared in her dreams many times. She was seventeen years old and was about to turn eighteen. In the Han Dynasty, this age was already considered a big girl, and in two years, she would be considered an old girl when she was twenty years old.

Originally, at her age, she should have married a long time ago. But she is a person close to the Queen Mother, and it is difficult to know any other man. In the past two years, the court has repeatedly failed in military affairs, and no one has cared about the marriage of the palace maids, so her personal problems have been dragged down year by year.

At this time, she looked at Chen Cheng's more manly face, and the embarrassing scenes in the dream came to her mind, and she couldn't help but feel like Xia Feishuang. Wang Lin's neck and ears were flushed red, a pair of big watery eyes stared at Chen Cheng, and his heartbeat became much faster.

She thought secretly: I don't know if Juluhou still remembers me?

Chen Cheng saw Wang Lin, thought for a while, and remembered that there was such a person, so he nodded to her with a smile, and then said to Liu Wei: "Your Majesty, now that the traitor Yuan Shu is entrenched in Luoyang, he will not retreat easily. For the sake of the safety of the imperial court, it is better to move to Chang'an. Chang'an used to be the capital master of my Han Dynasty, and the palaces were all ready-made, and there was a danger of four stops, so there was no need to worry about any rebels coming easily. ”

Wang Lin saw Chen Cheng smile at her, and immediately felt a stream of heat go down her spine, and her legs became slippery.

She cried out in her heart: to die, to die!

When the little palace maid's heart was beating like a deer, everyone's attention in the hall was attracted by what Chen Cheng said just now, what is moving to Chang'an, doesn't it mean that the capital will be moved? How can such a thing work? On the spot, a minister stood up and reprimanded: "Since Emperor Guangwu Zhongxing Han Dynasty, the imperial court has always set its capital in Luoyang, and it has never changed for hundreds of years!" Juluhou is just a local minister, how dare he talk about moving the capital lightly? ”

Chen Cheng turned his head and saw that it was a thin old man, so he asked, "I don't know what to call my feet?" ”

The old man was not afraid of Chen Cheng, and spoke loudly, "I am the Guanglu Doctor Sun Duan!" ”

Chen Cheng asked again: "Who else opposes the Son of Heaven going to Chang'an?" ”

Situ Wang Yun, Taiwei Yang Biao, Sikong Zhao Wen, Lu Shangshu Zhang Xi, Chun Yujia and other ministers all opposed the relocation of the capital to Chang'an, and these people, either out of public intentions or out of selfishness, all stood up directly and made a clear statement against Chen Cheng's proposal. These people are all important ministers of the imperial court, not to mention the third duke of Yang Biao V, and the other Wang Yun, Zhao Wen, Zhang Xi, Chun Yujia and others are also very famous ministers in the court and the opposition.

Together, they oppose it, which means that the opinion of the imperial court has been agreed.

Chen Cheng frowned and asked, "Isn't there anyone who agrees to move the capital to Chang'an?" Luoyang has been dilapidated, even if Yuan Shu is repulsed, the output around it is not enough to supply the civil and military officials and clans in the court, it is better to live in Chang'an temporarily, wait until the Central Plains is pacified, and then return to Luoyang is not too late, what do you think? ”

Yang Biao straightened his face and said: "Your Majesty is in Luoyang, he is still the Son of Heaven, if he goes to Chang'an, I am afraid that he will not be the Son of Heaven!" ”

Chen Cheng looked at Yang Biao for a while, but saw the latter standing with his head held high, looking at him without fear.

"Do you think I'm a thief like Yuan Shu?"

Chen Cheng shook his head and said, "I heard that you are all hungry, so let's eat something first, and we will talk about the matter of moving to Chang'an tomorrow." ”

When the tooth soldiers served the broth and pastry, Chen Cheng called Liu Qian and whispered a few words in her ear. After Liu Qian listened, her eyes lit up, she turned her head to look at Liu Yan, the son of heaven, and then pressed the horizontal knife and strode out.

Seeing the broth and bread being served, not only the ministers were fond of it, but even the emperor was the same. They put aside other things for the time being, and then they filled their stomachs first. But the thing is eaten, but the one who should be opposed is still to be opposed!

These ministers knew that once they left Luoyang and went to Chang'an, the imperial court would be controlled by Chen Cheng. Although the general He Jin was also despised by these important ministers who had been officials for generations, after all, they were the uncles of the additions, and the Han family had a tradition of having relatives as generals, so they put up with it for the time being.

But what is Chen Cheng? Can such a person be allowed to control the court? Righteous men and gentlemen will never be in the company of villains like Chen Wenzheng!

Just when everyone was gobbling up the food, Liu Qian suddenly walked back, she stood still in the hall, and said murderously: "He Jin is plotting rebellion, and he has been ambushed!" ”

"Bang dang!"

The chopsticks in Liu Bian's hand fell on the desk and made a dull sound. He looked at Liu Qian and Chen Cheng fearfully, his chest constantly rising and falling. Empress Dowager He Huo Di stood up on the side and scolded: "My brother He Jin is already a general, a very popular minister, how can he still rebel?" ”

Chen Cheng said with a smile: "It's because of a very human minister, that's why he will rebel!" Queen Mother, although He Jin is your brother, but in his hands, the court has decayed into what it is now, and even the Son of Heaven has to run to Mianchi to take refuge, shouldn't he be brave enough to be responsible for this? ”

Empress Dowager He's chest couldn't stop rising and falling, and she scolded loudly: "How can you put your beak on the general? ”

Chen Cheng stared at the turbulent waves for an extra second, then stared at Empress Dowager He's mighty face, and sneered: "When the first emperor died in the past, he asked me to take care of his children. The Son of Heaven and the Princess of Wannian are safe and sound now, but where is the King of Bohai? ”

The ministers on the side, who had been angry, looked at each other at this time, and then shook their heads violently, some closed their eyes in contemplation, and some showed shame on their faces. Empress Dowager He was shocked in her heart and defended: "The King of Bohai suddenly fell ill and died because of this, and everyone knows about this matter!" ”

Chen Cheng sneered: "Then how did the Empress Dowager and Dong Cheng die?" These people died together in less than three days, didn't the Queen Mother feel very suspicious? ”

Mrs. He said unnaturally: "People have good fortune and misfortune, the Empress Dowager is so old, isn't it normal for her to die of illness?" As for Dong Cheng, he committed suicide, what does it matter to others? ”

Chen Cheng shook his head and said; "He Jin is dead, what's the use of you arguing with me about this?"

He looked at the people in the hall and said, "Martial law has been imposed in the city, don't walk around the streets if you have nothing to do, and tomorrow I will come to discuss the affairs of the court with you!" ”

Then, Chen Cheng arched his hand towards the Son of Heaven Liu Wei and said, "The minister is in armor, it is inconvenient to pay full courtesy, please forgive your majesty." ”

With that, he turned and walked outside. The surrounding guards and soldiers also followed and retreated to the outside of the yamen in an orderly manner. Looking at Chen Cheng's long and departing figure, Shisun Duan said angrily: "Bahu, it's really too domineering, even He Jin doesn't dare to be so rude in front of the Son of Heaven!" ”

Someone sneered on the side: "Juluhou killed those many people in front of the Son of Heaven just now, and killed the great general He Jin, and he has already been flying high. What can be counted as a faux pas in front of the emperor? ”

A minister who had run outside to watch retreated and shouted, "The Xiliang army has surrounded this place!" ”

"What? How dare Chen Thief do it? ”

"Let's go, let's go to Chen Cheng to reason, I don't believe it, those soldiers still dare to use swords against the important ministers of the country?"

Seeing a group of people rushing towards the door, Yang Biao shouted: "Wait! ”

"Why did the Captain stop me from waiting?"

"Yes, Captain Yang, that Chen Cheng is just an old revolutionary! He dared to kill He Jin, it was because He Jin had no soldiers and horses in his hands, but even He Jin didn't dare to do anything to us, he Chen Cheng, a commander of the Xiliang Thief Army, still dared to do anything to us? ”

Yang Biao said in a deep voice: "The 20,000 soldiers and horses of Hanoi are almost here, and we will talk about it when Uncle Zhang Zhi arrives!" ”

Zhang Yang, the word Uncle Zhi, is a native of Yunzhong in Bingzhou, quite brave, is the old department of the general He Jin, was named the Taishou of Hanoi, and has many soldiers and horses under his command.

"Taiwei Takami!"

"That's right!"

"Chen Cheng only brought more than 10,000 soldiers and horses, and when Uncle Zhang Zhi's 20,000 army arrived, see if he dares to be so domineering!"

Some people also said worriedly: "Yuan Shu occupies Luoyang, and there are fifty or sixty thousand troops under his command, even if Zhang Yang and Chen Cheng combined, they can only get half of Yuan Highway's troops." If Yuan Shujun kills him, what should we do? ”

"Don't worry about this," Yang Biao said: "What Yuan Shu relies on is nothing more than Sun Jian, and now Jizhou Mu Yuan Shao sent Zhou Ang to attack Yangcheng, and Yuan Shu has transferred Sun Jian back to Yuzhou." ”

Hearing what Taiwei Yang Biao said, everyone immediately relaxed. Yang Biao was born in the Hongnong Yang family, and has achieved the position of the third prince for five consecutive generations, and is a top magnate with more power than the Yuan family in Runan. However, the Yang family has been developing in the imperial court, and without the advanced vision of Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu, they have seized the military power in the local area early on, so now the prestige is not as good as the Yuan family.

But then again, the Yang clan did not develop its own armed forces locally, and thus escaped the catastrophe, unlike the Yuan family's clansmen in Luoyang who were killed by the general He Jin. It's hard to draw conclusions about the good or bad of this.

Hanoi County was north of the Yellow River, close to the White Bo Army, the Black Mountain Army, and Dong Zhuo's sphere of influence. Although there are many households in the county and a lot of soldiers and horses, they have been a little overwhelmed. After Dong Zhuo's defeat and death, the pressure on Hanoi County was greatly reduced, and he had the spare strength to send 20,000 soldiers and horses out to prepare to defend the Son of Heaven in Luoyang.

As soon as he crossed the Yellow River, he heard that Sun Jian had broken through Luoyang, and the Son of Heaven drove westward. Zhang Yang did not go to war with Yuan Shu, but led his troops westward, preparing to find the Son of Heaven first. 20,000 soldiers marched out of a marching column of nearly ten miles, passed through Hangu Pass in Xin'an County, and rushed to the vicinity of Mianchi.

After the Hangu Pass of the Qin Dynasty was abandoned, the Han Dynasty rebuilt the pass near Xin'an County, which was also named Hangu Pass. Although the name is the same, the location is different.

Zhang Yang's army of 20,000, after approaching Michi, found that there was a soldier and horse outside the city to set up a formation, blocking the way of the army.
