Chapter 3: The Inner Court Shock
Thorn history, "thorn" is the meaning of checking and questioning, that is, the duty of supervision. "History" means "imperial history".
In the Qin system, each county set up a royal history, and served as a supervisor, called the imperial history of the supervisor (Jian County Imperial History). At the beginning of the Han Dynasty, the prime minister sent the history to assassinate the state, which was not often placed. Emperor Wu Yuanfeng set the history of the assassination at the beginning of the fifth year, and took charge of the edict Chazhou, with a rank of 600 stone and 13 members. In the first year of Emperor Cheng Suihe, he changed his name to Zhou Mu, with a rank of 2,000 stones, and his powers were further expanded, and he changed from a supervisor to a local military administrator. Emperor Mourning Jianping was restored to the history of assassination in the second year, and Yuanshou was restored to pastor in the second year.
Emperor Guangwu of the Eastern Han Dynasty established the military for 18 years, and the system was changed to the history of the assassination, but there were only 12 people, one person from each state, and one state was subordinate to the school captain, and the history of the Western Han Dynasty was changed to have no fixed governance for each station; You can send a planner to do it on your behalf, and you won't go back to it. The power of the Eastern Han Dynasty Assassin History gradually expanded, and there were often things that sent the Assassin History to lead the troops to fight, and the Assassin History did not have to be inspected by the officials appointed by the Three Princes, and the county guards and county orders were quite jealous of it, and there were even things that were dismantled and abandoned because of the fear of the Assassination History.
"So can you use the story of 'not avoiding relatives inside, not avoiding resentment' to persuade my father Liu Yu to get an errand in Youzhou?!" Liu He thought so in his heart.
At this moment, Lou Gui spoke: "When I talk about this border county in Xinjiang, I think of it and go to Liangzhou. Scatter your mind! This time it was a real eye-opener. ”
"Oh? What's the opening? Everyone asked in unison.
"Since Zhang Huan and Duan Cheng defeated the Qiang people, it will take a few years of work for those border generals in the west to be generous now. Duan Cheng, those who followed him in the past have all risen with the tide, what Song Yang and Li Wenhou can be pompous one by one! There is also a Dong Zhuo, who is the most domineering, and most of his soldiers are Hu people, and there are Qiang people, Tuge, and Xiongnu. I can see it clearly, and when I hold the soldier in my hand, my waist is hard. Those gangs said they were officials, but in fact they were similar to bandits, forcibly occupying people's land, extorting money and food, and befriending local tyrants, killing people was like crushing bed bugs. ”
Lou Gui talked eloquently, "These border generals all connived at their subordinates to oppress the Qiang people. In my opinion, the foreigners are clearly the ones who make them rebel; forced the people to rebel and then suppressed the killing, and asked the court for credit...... Back then, Yu Xu, Huangfu Gui, and Zhang Huan's style of appeasing the border clan was really invisible! There are a few capable officials, Jincheng Bian Yun, Han Yue, and Longxi Ma Teng. ”
Liu He was shocked again: "It's gold that always shines." Could these be the later Liangzhou warlords Bian Zhang, Han Sui, and Ma Teng? Before the troubled times, these people have already come to the fore. ”
Yuan Shao and Cao Cao shook their heads again and again when they heard this: "It seems that Liangzhou is a war and a local tyrant, and you must have worked the way!" ”
"Needless to say! Fortunately, I got to know an elder - Hanyang Yan Zhong. He ate and drank for many days at his place, and wrote me a letter before leaving. Hey! It's better than the customs defense documents, and when I saw Yan Zhong's letter, no one on the Qiang and Han roads dared to embarrass them......" Lou Gui suddenly changed his words, "In the days I have been in Liangzhou, although the Qiang trouble has been roughly flat, there are still more Qiang people in the west!" Especially in the area of Caohan, there is a leader of the righteous Qiang named Beigong Boyu, and there are thousands of people in his tribes! All of them are skilled in archers and horses, and half of them can speak Chinese, compared to the soldiers in the Changshui Battalion of the Northern Army of the Beijing Division! ”
The military system of the Han army was divided into Beijing division soldiers and local troops, and the Beijing division soldiers were divided into the northern army and the southern army. The Northern Army is the elite unit of the Han Army, the commander is the lieutenant of the Northern Army, and under it is the Tun Cavalry Captain in charge of the knight, the Infantry Captain in the palm of the Lin Yuanmen Tun Soldiers, the Yue Cavalry Captain in the palm of the Yue Cavalry, and the Changshui Captain in the Changshui Xuanqu Hu Cavalry. The soldiers of the Northern Army are also known as cantonment soldiers.
Although this Changshui battalion belongs to the same five battalions of the Northern Army as the Tun Cavalry, Yue Cavalry, Infantry, and Shooting Battalions, the soldiers are different from the four battalions, and the soldiers under its jurisdiction are all Hu people. Although these nomadic soldiers have been annexed to the Central Plains, they still maintain the tradition of being good at horse archery.
Speaking of the military, Yuan Shu's little eyes turned again: "Meng De, have you been annotating the military book in the past few years?"
"Oh? It's too late to read the school book in the east, so how can I have time to annotate the military book. Cao Cao took a sip of wine, because he didn't like this person very much, so he only prevaricated coldly.
"Hey! You gave me a set of Sun Wuzi's thirteen articles of your own notes, when will you give me a set? Yuan Shu smiled and pointed at Yuan Shao, "If there are any other articles, it will be fine, but this art of war is indeed my favorite." I know you give him a set, and I'll go to him and borrow it. My brother was very stingy, so he gave me two volumes because he had worn out his mouth, and I took them to see him for less than half a day, who thought that he blocked the door and begged for it back. ”
"Don't listen to his!" Yuan Shao looked impatient: "I can make it clear to him that this book was borrowed from Meng De, and I have to return it after reading it." He didn't believe it, so he picked up two rolls and ran away, so can I not block the door? It's just right today, you ask Meng De whether he borrowed it or gave it away. I really don't believe it, go ask Xu Ziyuan! ”
Xu You smiled and said: "Don't look at the highway and be grinning, like "Sun Tzu", "Sima", "Sanluo" and "Liutao", you all know a little bit more or less, and it is not necessarily worse than you." ”
"Oh? It's true? Cao Cao was skeptical: "Then I want to ask for advice." ”
Just as everyone was watching Cao Cao prepare to bury Yuan Shu, there was a sound of horses' hooves stomping on the ground outside the camp, and Yuan Shao said: "Highway!" I'm afraid that my brother has arrived, and you and I will go to greet him. ”
And when they saw that the proprietor had arisen and had come out, they also came out.
Yuan Ji, the word Bo Legacy. Yuan Fengyan's eldest son, Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu's brothers. I saw Yuan Ji followed by two Liu He who were a little familiar.
"Brother is here! Let me introduce you. Yuan Shao pulled Liu He: "This is the son of Liu Bo'an's family in the East China Sea, Liu and Liu Shunzhi." ”
"I've seen Da Yuanjun." Liu and Shili.
"You're welcome! Yuan Ji Yuan Bo's legacy. Yuan Ji returned the salute and was humble.
Yuan Shao pointed to the two behind Yuan Ji again: "This little boy is Zhang Mengzhuo's brother Zhang Chao, who came to visit me for his brother. ”
Zhang Chao is not tall but looks shrewd and clever, and happily greeted everyone: "Zhang Chao Zhang Menggao." ”
This ......" Yuan Shao pointed to the other little brother: "It's amazing...."
Before Yuan Shao's voice fell, Liu He said with a smile: "His name is Zang Hong Zang Ziyuan, and he is a student. His father is famous, that is, he sent an envoy to the Western Regions, a famous Qiang people, and the Huns Zhonglang General Zang Min who will destroy the thieves. Brother Ben, Zang Ziyuan and I have been classmates for three years. ”
"Oh?" Yuan Shao heard him say this: "It's presumptuous for my brother." ”
"Brother Shun is polite." Zang Hong made a move.
"Primordial, highway, go back to the city quickly, something big happened in the city - Wang Meiren is dead." Yuan Ji suddenly said hurriedly.
Everyone was shocked, and then they ordered their servants to pack up their utensils and go back to the city.
Wang Meiren is said to be Emperor Liu Hong's favorite concubine, and she gave birth to a little prince for him not long ago. Now, in addition to indulging in pleasure, the mother and son are the only people Liu Hong cares about.
At this time, the emperor Liu Hong in the palace heard that Concubine Ai died violently, the corners of his mouth trembled twice, and he didn't make a sound for a long time. He couldn't believe this fact, if the emperor could forget his identity and devote himself wholeheartedly to a woman, Wang Meiren was such a woman. Liu Hong fell in love with her from the first time they met, and this kind of heartfelt desire and feelings of flying like wings are far from being comparable to the husband and wife covenant between him and Empress Song and Empress He. In the Imperial Palace, in the West Garden, and in the Lingkun Garden, each place carries the feelings between them, and she is not just a symbol of beauty in his mind, but a kind of support that a woman gives to a man, which will not be diluted by the passage of time and the fading of her appearance. Liu Hong sat there with his mouth half-open, his eyes glazed, and the first question that came to his mind was - what should the little prince do? As soon as I was born, my mother was gone...... After a silent thought, tears flowed unconsciously.
"Holy Lord, you have to take care of the dragon's body." Everyone fell to their knees.
Liu Hong wiped away his tears: "She, she...... Why did you suddenly leave me? ”
"The slave has a love in return." The eunuch Jian Shuo knelt forward and climbed two steps.
Liu Hong's eyes lit up, knowing that there was a big article, he immediately stopped his tears: "Could it be ...... Why did Wang Meiren collapse? ”
Jian Shuo hesitated slightly, and lowered his head: "This matter is shocking, please long live and retreat." ”
"Zhang Rang and Zhao Zhong stayed, and the others were let out." After Jia Hu and the other four and all the palace maids withdrew from the hall, Liu Hong got up and approached Jian Shuo, "Say it!" ”
"No." Jian Shuo took a deep breath, "At two o'clock in the afternoon, the queen sent her confidant eunuch to dismiss the imperial doctor and give Wang Meiren a meal, and Wang Meiren died after eating. ”
Liu Hong was still okay, Zhang Rang and Zhao Zhong's faces were frightened. Queen He is the daughter of a butcher, from a humble background, originally relied on their recommendation to enter the palace, in order to help He win the harem, they did not hesitate to collude with Wang Fu to create a witch Gu injustice, killed the original Queen of Song.
Today's He family can be said to be both a loss and a glory with them, and if they are unlucky, their end will not be far away. It is clear that now Wang Meiren is more favored than the queen, and she gave birth to a little prince, which directly threatens her status. Empress He herself is replacing her predecessor, how can she not know that she is prepared for danger in times of peace? Poisoning Wang Meiren is to cut the grass and eradicate the roots to prevent trouble. Unfortunately, the lack of secrecy was all exposed by Jian Shuo.
Liu Hong turned from grief to anger, but after all, it was not good to say anything bad about the queen in front of his subordinates, so he only gritted his teeth and said, "How is my little emperor now?" What he is worried about now is that He Hou will even kill Wang Meiren's child.
This emperor was the later Emperor Liu Xie of the Han Dynasty.
Jian Shuo did things properly: "The little prince is still in the palace of Wang Meiren, and he is taken care of by his nursing mother. The little one has repeatedly instructed the palace people not to allow anyone to approach, but he also asked the emperor to get off quickly......"
At this moment, Liu He's father Liu Yu was pacing in the study, and his mouth was broken: "Queen He fell out of favor, Wang Meiren gave birth to a little prince, and then died violently, this is terrible!" ”
Liu He, who was standing at the bottom, lowered his head and just arched his hand: "It's better for us to talk less about the royal family's private affairs...... Mother called you to eat, and when she saw that you were in the study, she asked me to bring it to you. "Then put the food box down.
Liu Yu said to himself and smiled bitterly: "Silly boy, you still have to go through the training!" You only know the outer court, and the inner court can sometimes prosper and destroy the country! Heaven is selfless. ”
"Ask my father to solve his doubts."
