Chapter 43: Luoyang's Secret Fight
Luoyang Imperial Palace, Emperor Han Ling is enjoying the shade outside, although it is already autumn, but for Emperor Han Ling, who has never paid much attention to government affairs, he is still very leisurely.
"Father, Lu Zhi and the others have been off for more than a month, where are they now?" Emperor Han Ling asked Zhang Rang, who was serving him on the side.
"Back to Your Majesty, General Bei Zhonglang and others set off on the fifth day of the first month of last month, and it has been more than a month now, due to the urgent military situation, General Lu marched all the way, and now it is time to go to the territory of Zhuo County, Youzhou." Zhang Rang replied.
"This time, most of the troops in Luoyang and other subordinate areas have been transferred, if there is a change, I am afraid that I will not be able to deal with it, so I am ready to reorganize the northern army and the southern army, and there will be training, I don't know what my father thinks." Emperor Han Ling asked again.
"The old slave doesn't dare to talk about the affairs of the court, and I ask Your Majesty to forgive me." Zhang Rang is very self-aware, knows how to advance and retreat, and don't ask about things that shouldn't be asked, so that it can last for a long time.
They are all relying on the emperor to have the current power, for them they are the royal dogs, the emperor's trust is the foundation for them to ensure their glory and wealth, so although the ten permanent servants are notorious outside, but in this kind of major affairs still know the severity, some words can not be said nonsense, this point can also be illustrated by many examples, such as when the Ming Dynasty fell, the soldiers all surrendered, only the eunuchs in the palace all took weapons and swore to protect Emperor Chongzhen, and finally Chongzhen hanged himself on the crooked neck tree, The eunuch who followed him also committed suicide along with him.
The emperor trusts them, Zhang Rang and others can gain power, glory and wealth, and they can also do many things for the emperor that are inconvenient for the emperor to appear in person, and they are also the most loyal.
"Father doesn't have to see outside, there are no outsiders here, I tell you to say it, who dares to spread it." After listening to Zhang Rang's words, Emperor Han Ling really smiled and said to Zhang Rang. After speaking, he glanced at the nearby palace maids and guards, causing everyone to bow their heads, for fear that they would anger this faint monarch.
Zhang Rang still refuses to say, he is not stupid, Emperor Han Ling is obviously going to compete with the family for power, he is a eunuch, he must be on the side of Emperor Han Ling, but it does not mean that he has to face the blade of the family, the eyes of the family are indispensable in this palace, if he expresses his position directly, he will definitely be attacked as soon as possible.
The next day, Emperor Ling of Han went to court unusually.
"Your Majesty, I heard that Your Majesty is preparing to reorganize the Northern Army and the Southern Army." Before Emperor Han Ling could speak, an imperial historian asked.
Emperor Han Ling's face couldn't help but show a look of anger, he had just discussed with Zhang Rang yesterday, and these people knew that although he had long known that there would be family eyeliner in the palace, but he didn't expect that these people would have such magical powers, Emperor Han Ling glanced at the few old immortals below, this was obviously instructed by them, this was to give him a dismount.
Yuan Feng and the others looked at their noses and noses, looking at their hearts, looking like they didn't know anything, and Emperor Han Ling couldn't help but have some itchy teeth.
"Yes, there is a shortage of troops in the Sili area, and I have decided to train the northern and southern armies into the eighth lieutenant of the West Park and recruit new soldiers to make up for the shortage of troops in the Sili area caused by the crusade against Wuhuan." Emperor Han Ling said.
"Your Majesty, this is a move to work the people and hurt money, Wuhuan is just a barbarian, the champion was able to sweep the Huns, and now my Han wants to crusade against Wuhuan but it is as easy as a finger, at most in March, Beizhong Lang and others can return to the dynasty with a class, and there is no need to train a new army at all." Yuan Feng was the first to object, as a representative of the family, their Yuan family must oppose it.
Most of the southern army and the northern army have been controlled by the family, and Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty wants to train the eight captains of Xiyuan obviously to divide their military power and strengthen their own strength, this kind of thing, Yuan Feng naturally wants to oppose it.
"Your Majesty, the old minister also thinks that this move is inappropriate, now that my Han Dynasty is peaceful all over the world, it is peaceful, there is no need for so many troops, and when Bei Zhonglang will come back, the troops in the Sili region will be replenished, and this area will be a few months away." Taiwei Yang Biao also objected, Yang Biao is also a figure of the family, although their Yang family is far inferior to the Yuan family of the fourth and third dukes, but they are also a member of the family, so they naturally want to oppose it.
"Your Majesty, what the captain said is very true, and soon the army will be able to return to the court." The general He Jin also objected, this time the main thing is to divide his military power, although the family also controls a large part, but it is obvious that he is also one of the main targets.
"What if something happens in the past few months? It's hard to deal with the remaining forces in the Sili region, who will be responsible at that time, servant, is it you? Or are you a lieutenant? Or are you a general? Emperor Han Ling snorted coldly. Yuan Feng, Yang Biao and He Jin all lowered their heads, they are not stupid, if they pat their chests and take responsibility for themselves, there will be unforeseen circumstances on this day, if something happens, they will definitely not be able to eat and walk around at that time.
"Since you don't dare to guarantee it, then I want to set up the eighth captain of the West Garden, do you still oppose it?" Emperor Han Ling asked.
"Your Majesty, the formation and training of a new army will inevitably increase the burden on the treasury, and the treasury may not be able to bear it." Taifu Yuan Kui glanced at Zhang Wen, the great farmer, and Zhang Wen said directly to Emperor Han Ling.
"The treasury is insufficient, so I will make up for it with money from my private treasury." Emperor Han Ling snorted coldly, he had already made up his mind to take this opportunity to weaken the power of the family and increase his power, all the money he had obtained from selling officials over the years had gone into his private treasury, it can be said that Emperor Han Ling's private treasury was even richer than the national treasury.
Hearing what Emperor Ling of Han said, Yuan Kui and the others had no choice but to reply: "Your Majesty Shengming." ”
After retiring from the dynasty, Emperor Ling of Han was in a good mood, it was obvious that he had defeated the family once this time, which greatly weakened their strength, and in the future, Lu Zhi's class would return to the dynasty, and he would not have to worry about the strength of the family.
The next day, the holy decree was issued, and the remaining northern and southern armies reorganized, recruited new recruits, and trained the eight captains of the West Garden, respectively, by the captain of the military academy--- Xiaohuangmen Jian Shuo,
Lieutenant of the Chinese Military Academy--- Hu Ben Zhonglang General Yuan Shao,
Lieutenant --- Tun Cavalry Captain Bao Hong,
Lieutenant --- Lang Cao Cao,
Lieutenant Zuo of the Auxiliary Army--Zhao Rong,
Lieutenant Feng Fang,
Captain Zuo---- Counselor Xia Mou,
The right lieutenant ---- Chun Yu Qiong commanded.
The captains of the colonels are in charge and the masters are strong. Xiao Huangmen Jian Shuo was in charge of all armies and was directly ordered by the emperor. The momentum was huge, and even He Jin had to be ordered by him.
However, this list is obviously the result of a compromise between all parties, Yuan Shao is obviously from the family, and several other people also belong to the family, Cao Cao was born into an official family, but the one who benefited the most was Emperor Ling of Han, after this reorganization, his power was greatly enhanced, on the contrary, He Jin's military power was greatly weakened, and the power of the family was also weakened to a certain extent.
