Chapter 300: The Imperial Meeting
Zhao Yi grew up too fast, so fast that it was beyond He Jin's imagination, of course, the reason why Zhao Yi had such an achievement was inseparable from He Jin and Zhang Rang, in order to compete for Zhao Yi, a rookie in the army, these two people were slowly raised, and finally Zhao Yi was promoted to Youzhou Mu.
After carrying Zhao Yi to Youzhou Mu, He Jin and Zhang Rang regretted it a little, Youzhou Mu was a feudal official in the imperial court, and he was in charge of life and death in a state. What He Jin and Zhang Rang were afraid of was that Zhao Yi was out of their control, so He Jin wooed Zhao Yi many times, wanting to take advantage of Zhao Yigang's unstable foundation to pull this Youzhou Mu with real power into his camp and become a big help for himself.
On the one hand, he tried to win over Zhao Yi, and on the other hand, he wanted to use Yang Xiu to replace Zhao Yi's position, but unfortunately this Yang Xiu was too uncompetitive, if this Yang Xiu had a little talent, with the relationship between Zhang Rang and Zhao Zhong in the imperial court, the position of Youzhou Mu would have already fallen to Yang Xiu's head.
Although the means of the two people are different, their goals are the same, and they are both wooing and guarding against Zhao Yi.
originally thought that Zhao Yi, who was young and frivolous, would make a big mistake in Youzhou for a long time, so he could ask the emperor to remove Zhao Yi from the post of pastor of Youzhou, and put him under his rule to be a small official, and then said to Zhao Yi that Zhao Yi had acted too badly in Youzhou before, and the emperor wanted to behead you, but it was he who worked hard in front of the emperor to save your life.
If you say this, Zhao Yi can not be grateful to himself, and then he is looking for an opportunity to improve Zhao Yi's official position, so that Zhao Yi is deeply affected by his two great kindnesses of saving his life and knowing the encounter, can he not die for himself.
This was originally planned for a long time, but I didn't expect that Zhao Yi, who was the pastor of Youzhou for the first time, would become more and more stable, not to mention the orderly governance of Youzhou, and beat the rampant external Yi clan to no longer dare to attack Youzhou. Especially when he saw that the emperor was full of praise for Zhao Yi, this shocked He Jin and Zhang Rang, and at the same time, they also felt a strong threat.
In the eyes of He Jin and Zhang Rang, Zhao Yi is now too sharp, if Zhao Yi makes great contributions, then the court will have no place for Zhang Rang and He Jin.
He Jin entered the hall and walked behind the screen, and asked a person who was hidden in the dark just now: "Originally, how sincere do you think Zhao Yi's words are?" ”
"Zhao Yi is a smart person, Zhang Rang wanted Yang Xiu to take his place several times, Zhao Yi couldn't have been unaware, but because he was afraid of the Ten Standing Servants and others, he kept pretending not to notice. It is also reasonable to want to unite with the generals to deal with the Ten Standing Attendants, after all, no one wants to give up the army and generals that he has trained for a long time. Yuan Shao analyzed the current situation.
In Yuan Shao's opinion, Zhao Yi's sincerity in uniting with He Jin should be ninety percent, but Yuan Shao still reminded He Jin: "Although Zhao Yi is young, he is a hero in the world, and the general must not take Zhao Yi lightly." ”
He Jin nodded and praised Yuan Shao: "The original words, the official has already considered it. At the beginning, he suggested in the court that only Zhao Yi should be allowed to command the troops and not let the Youzhou officials and soldiers enter the customs, which is also remarkable. He Jinke was very satisfied with Yuan Shao's suggestion, because this soldier was seconded from various states, and he had his own general under his command. According to He Jin's investigation, although Sun Jian and Cao Cao have an old relationship with Zhao Yi, both of them are arrogant people, and they will definitely not get along well with Zhao Yi, who has no soldiers in their hands.
The three parties look like they are separated, and there may be a fight, so the generals are not in harmony, and they must be defeated and invincible against Beigong Boyu, and He Jin can take this opportunity to make a statement to the emperor to dismiss Zhao Yi and take the title. After that, he took the opportunity to win over Zhao Yi, and then received Zhao Yi under his account as a strategist, as long as Zhao Yi did not have real power in his hands, then he would not be able to set off much storm.
With the help of Zhao Yi, a resourceful man, He Jin can be said to be like a tiger with wings to deal with Zhang Rang and others in the future, and he can also use Zhao Yi to collect those elite soldiers and fierce generals in Youzhou. Although He Jin was in Luoyang, the prestige of Dian Wei and Tai Shici often came to He Jin's ears, and these two were deeply favored by Zhao Yi and loyal to Zhao Yi. If Zhao Yi is reined in, then these two generals are also in his own bag, and when he thought of this, He Jin's face was full of smiles.
After Zhao Yi left the General's Mansion, his face changed, and he recalled some of the words He Jin said during the banquet again, and secretly sighed in his mouth, secretly saying that officialdom is sinister, in Zhao Yi's opinion, officialdom is more dangerous than the battlefield, because the battlefield is clear about killing the enemy and us, and only the generals and strategists of the two camps belong to show their abilities to determine the victory of the battle.
Everything on the battlefield, whether it is a conspiracy or a conspiracy, Zhao Yi is mentally prepared, but it is not easy to walk in this officialdom, first, you don't know who to believe, second, you don't know who will stab you in the back,
Just now He Jin said that Zhang Rang said bad things about himself in front of the emperor, but this is just He Jin's side of the story, God knows who said bad things about Zhao Yi in front of the emperor.
The reason why Zhao Yi joined forces with He Jin is because He Jin's methods are relatively bright and upright compared to Zhang Rang, Zhang Rang is simply one set in front of him and one behind his back. When facing Zhao Yi, he was wooed, but behind his back, Yang Xiu was asked to take his place.
From this point of view, He Jin is easier to deal with than Zhang Rang and others, so Zhao Yi will choose to temporarily unite with He Jin. Putting down He Jin's matter, Zhao Yi turned his head and asked the soldiers around him: "Is there any news for the strong man you asked you to follow today?" ”
The soldier in charge of tracking said with a bitter face: "My lord, that person has already left Luoyang. ”
"Leaving Luoyang?" Zhao Yi was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly asked the soldier, "Tell me the details quickly." ”
The soldier said that he followed the man according to the order, and after following several streets, he saw the strong man and several people arrive at an inn, and after the soldier saw the strong man enter the inn, he stared at the door for a while, and made sure that the man lived in the inn, and just turned his head to tell Zhao Yi about the inn.
And just as he turned his head, the strong man, along with a few men, walked out of the inn quickly, and left here quickly on horseback. The soldier chased after him two paces, but the two legs were not as fast as the four, and the soldier lost the man.
After the soldier finished speaking, he knelt down and asked Zhao Yi to punish him. Zhao Yi didn't blame this soldier, because the failure of this matter could not all be counted on this soldier.
Zhao Yi waved his hand to let the soldier get up, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth: "It seems that I underestimated that person." Zhao Yi originally thought that the strong man was the same as Zhang Fei, and he had the same character as a python. But now it seems that not to mention whether this strong man has any resourcefulness, but it can be seen that this strong man is very knowledgeable about current affairs, and knows that if he offends the eunuch in the capital, he will not have good fruit to eat, so after returning to the inn, he immediately packed up his things and left here.
"Did Bai Rizuofeng say that the strong man was a petty official in Hedong County?" Zhao Yi became interested in this strong man and asked Dian Wei.
Dian Wei thought for a moment: "Yes, that eunuch is talking about Hedong County." Dian Wei had a very bad impression of Zuo Feng. In Dian Wei's opinion, that strong man is also a lover, and there is nothing wrong with teaching Zuo Feng a lesson.
I don't understand Zhao Yi's help to Zuo Feng, if Dian Wei sees that kind of situation, not only will he not help Zuo Feng up, but he will also step on Zuo Feng's face a few times. Dian Wei is a person who can't hide words in his heart, and when he thinks of this, he says this.
Hearing Dian Wei's words, Zhao Yi's face was full of wry smiles, and he said his original thoughts, Zhao Yi originally wanted to take this opportunity to try the strong man's catties, and when he saw that the strong man really had some ability, Zhao Yi had the idea of recruiting, so he sent soldiers to follow the strong man's actions.
But he didn't expect that the strong man would see that the timing was wrong and leave here, which made Zhao Yi feel like a cooked duck had flown away.
Hearing this, Dian Wei suddenly realized: "Since we know that the person is in Hedong County, and we are passing through Hedong County on this march, won't the adults find the important person of Hedong County to solve this matter?" ”
Zhao Yi laughed, he didn't know anything about that strong man, even if he arrived in Hedong County, it would probably take a lot of time to investigate the officials at all levels in the county, thinking of this, Zhao Yi suddenly thought of something: "Zuo Feng has used the means of the imperial court, presumably there will be results tomorrow, you go to Zuo Feng tomorrow to investigate." Zhao Yi instructed Dian Wei, and rode back to Zhao's house.
When Zhao Yi went back, Chen had already fallen asleep, but the light in Zhao Yun's study was still on, Zhao Yi did not go in, but returned to his room, lying on his back on the couch and thinking about what happened today.
As soon as Zhao Yi opened his eyes the next day, there were attendants from the Yellow Gate urging Zhao Yi to enter the court, and when he walked on the jade steps in the palace, many officials took the initiative to greet Zhao Yi, Zhao Yi just smiled at this, and what these officials said was nothing more than something to deal with Beigong Boyu. Until they entered the court, these people were still chattering.
Facing these mosquito-like court officials, Zhao Yi had a smile on his face, but he was extremely irritable in his heart. It wasn't until Zhang Rang entered the court and said that the emperor had arrived, that the chaotic scene returned to calm.
Zhao Yi already knew the content of today's court meeting, and it was nothing more than announcing that he would serve as the generalissimo of the expedition to the west, and this matter had already been said by Emperor Ling of Han in the imperial garden yesterday. Now that Emperor Han Ling said this again, Zhao Yi had no choice but to bow down without hesitation.
"Lord Youzhou Mu Zhao is like a god with soldiers, and this time he will definitely be able to exterminate the Xiliang rebels, but before that, Weichen wants to make His Majesty one thing." An official bowed and stood up.
Before Emperor Han Ling could speak, Zhang Rang took the lead in asking, "Lord Zhu, please speak!" ”
Zhao Yi looked at the seemingly loyal Lord Zhu in front of him, and then looked at Zhang Rang, who was the first to speak, and the discerning person knew at a glance that the two had already had a tacit understanding, and Zhao Yi did not expose it, waiting for that Lord Zhu to report the matter. Zhao Yi wanted to see what this person reported.
