Chapter 180: Emperor Han collapsed
Three days later, Han Yiling's newlywed wife Ma Xueer bid farewell to Ding Yuan and returned all the way to Xihe. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info Ma Xueer has been depressed since she got married, and Han Yi thought it was because her father died of illness, so she didn't think much about it. After returning to Xihe, he re-selected talents, and got a brave and good general Tai Shici.
Tai Shi Ci was originally a magistrate of Donglai County, but he broke the law because he helped the county Taishou, and he wanted to flee to Liaodong. Later, he was moved by Han Yi's "Summoning Order" in Luoyang City, so he came to Xihe County together. Han Yi was overjoyed, because of his skillful bow and horse skills and excellent archery skills, so he appointed Tai Shici as the Hu cavalry army and the army Sima, commanding five hundred Hu cavalry.
Of the 1,000 scholars summoned in Luoyang City, 100 of them served in the county, and 300 were scattered among the nine Southern Xiongnu to help the Sima of each ministry manage civil affairs. He also sent more than 600 people to teach tens of thousands of children of the Southern Xiongnu, and Han Yi wanted to educate all the children of the Southern Xiongnu into the appearance of Han Chinese.
After the five thousand Xianbei hired horsemen to pacify the Southern Xiongnu in Han Yi, they wanted to return to Hexi. Han Yi overthrew the previous plan because of the early peace of the Southern Huns, everything had not yet settled, and he took into account the power of Helian. The remaining 4,000 Xianbei hired horsemen were greatly rewarded, and 5,000 gold and 30 Southern Xiongnu beauties were sent to Helian as a thank you gift, and the remaining beauties will be sent in batches after two years.
In October of the fifth year of Zhongping, the Han Emperor optimistically held a military parade ceremony of the Xiyuan Army in Luoyangping, calling himself the "Supreme General", riding a horse and holding a sword to inspect the army. Taichang Liu Yan said that the Quartet was eventful, and the reason was that the power of the assassins in the states was light, so he changed some senior assassins to pastors.
In November, the Yellow Turban thieves in Gepi in Runan County reappeared, and the Han Emperor sent Bao Hong, a military captain of the Xiyuan Army, to lead the troops to review the combat strength of the Xiyuan Army.
In February of the sixth year of Zhongping, Huangfu Song defeated the rebel kingdom of Liangzhou and others in Chencang, and the chaos in Xiliang was a little calm.
In March, Youzhou Mu Liu Yu quelled Zhang Chun's rebellion, and the Han Emperor named Liu Yu as the Marquis of Xiangben and moved to the Great Sima; Feng Gongsun Zan was the Marquis of Ji and moved to General Fenwu. The message of Youzhou has been communicated, Han Yi was overjoyed, sent someone to congratulate him, and told Gongsun Zhan the news of Gongsun Ying's death after giving birth to a child. Gongsun Chan sent Gongsun Yue to pay tribute to Gongsun Ying and give gifts to his nephew Han Wang.
Bao Hong was impeached by Yuzhou Mu Huangwan for embezzling more than 10 million yuan in military salaries and was imprisoned for death. Bao Hong's housekeeper traveled thousands of miles to Xihe for help, and Han Yi invested 30 million to atone for Bao Hong. Because of this, Bao Hong was exempted from his crimes, became a commoner, and lived idle in the city of Luoyang.
In April, the Emperor of the Han Dynasty was seriously ill and intended to abolish Chang Liyu, abolish Liu Wei, the eldest prince born to Empress He, and set up Liu Xie, the second prince born to Wang Meiren, to help Liu Xie. Jian Shuo also wanted to get rid of the general He Jin and change Liu Xie as the emperor.
On April 11, the Han Emperor died, and Jian Shuo planned to be killed when He entered the palace to worship. But under the hint of Sima Panyin under Jian Shuo, He Jin said that he was ill. Because He Jin was not eliminated, Liu Wei was made emperor. Because the Emperor of the New Han Dynasty was young, the Empress Dowager He came to the court, and He Jin and the Taifu Yuan Kui assisted the government and recorded the Shangshu affairs.
He Jin knew that the eunuch was a common evil in the world, and hated Jian Shuo for plotting to harm him, and when he grasped the power of the court, he secretly arranged to kill the eunuch. Yuan Shao also has a long-term plan, and the Yuan family has been favored for many generations, and has been supported by people at home. Yuan Zhao is good at raising soldiers, and heroic people are willing to be used by him. Hu Ben Zhonglang General Yuan Shu also had the same opinion as Yuan Shao on this matter. Therefore, the wise and resourceful people Feng Ji, He Hao, Xun You, etc., were recruited more widely and became confidants with them.
Jian Shuo was uneasy, and murdered He Jin with the Ten Constant Attendants. Ran Zhong often served Guo Sheng, and He Jin was from the same county. Empress Dowager He and He Jin's noble luck, Guo Sheng also made a great effort. Therefore, Guo Sheng trusted He's family, so he discussed with Zhao Zhong and others, did not follow Jian Shuo's strategy, and handed Jian Shuo's letter to He Jin.
He Jin then ordered the Huangmen to arrest Jian Shuo, behead him, and command 40,000 Xiyuan troops himself. Later, the Empress Dowager He and the Empress Dowager Dong fell out for power, and He Jin killed the hussar general Dong Chong and annexed his 30,000 soldiers and horses, and the Empress Dowager Dong finally died of fear and illness. With the addition of 50,000 northern troops, He Jin mastered the 120,000 troops in Luoyang City at this time, plus the 40,000 southern troops of his younger brother He Miao, it can be said that no one in the whole country can resist, and the prestige has reached the highest point.
Yuan Shao therefore persuaded He Jin to kill all the eunuchs, but He Jin thought so, so he did not go to the funeral under the pretext of illness, and did not send the funeral. That is, he made a plan with Yuan Shao, and told the Empress Dowager He all the plans. The Empress Dowager He didn't listen, He Jin couldn't violate the Empress Dowager's will, and he just wanted to kill the ten permanent servants headed by him. Yuan Shao thought that the eunuchs were close to the emperor and ordered in and out, and if they were not all eliminated now, they would definitely harm the world in the future.
Therefore, He Jinxi summoned Dong Zhuo, the former general who quelled the rebellion in Xiliang, to be stationed in Shanglin Yuan, Chang'an, Guanzhong, and made the general's mansion Peng Wang Kuang to launch Taishan County's strong crossbowmen, and summoned Dongjun Taishou Qiaomao to settle in Chenggao. At this time, Ding Yuan, the assassin of Bingzhou, saw that He Jin's power was overwhelming, and intended to get closer to He Jin, so he sent his subordinate Zhang Liao to Luoyang City to submit a letter.
He Jin was overjoyed, appointed Zhang Liao as the military commander, and sent him to Hebei to recruit troops; He also sent the army Sima to recruit troops to the supreme party; Military Sima Baoxin and others went to Shandong to recruit troops. He also moved his army to Hanoi and burned down the port of Mengjin. The fire made the city red, and the whole city said that Ding Yuan was going to kill the eunuchs.
Empress Dowager He's mother, Wuyangjun, accepted bribes from various eunuchs many times, and He Miao took into account the kindness of the Ten Standing Servants to the He family, and when she knew that He Jin was going to kill them, she told Empress Dowager He many times that she wanted Empress Dowager He to protect them. He also said: "The general is good at killing his cronies on the left and right, and wants to follow the dictatorship of Liang Ji and weaken the emperor."
Empress Dowager He also suspected that this was indeed the case, so she summoned He Miao to secretly envoy General Yingyang, General Zhonglang of the Huns, and Han Yi, the Taishou of Xihe, to lead Hu soldiers to Henan County to deter the general He Jin.
He Miao was afraid that it would be difficult to take care of the matter, so he tried his best to persuade He Jin, saying: "At first, I waited all the way from Nanyang, but because of poverty, I relied on eunuchs to get rich. The affairs of the country are not easy! As the saying goes, it is difficult to collect the clouds, and the scholars and the Yuan family may not be credible, so they should be carefully considered and maintain friendship with the palace. ”
He Jin was unsettled in his heart, and the old kindness of the eunuchs and the help of the scholars were difficult to decide. Yuan Shao was worried that He Jin would change his mind, so he deliberately threatened him, and He Jin had no choice but to use Yuan Shao as the lieutenant of the division, holding the Fu Festival, and ordering the matter; and engaged in Zhonglang Wang Yun as Henan Yin.
Yuan Shao summoned his old friend Xu You, who had fled back to Luoyang, to discuss, and Xu You thought that He Jin's indecision was not enough to stabilize the country. And the Yuan family has been favored for many generations and has been supported by people at home, and Yuan Shao is a model for the world's corporals. Because the Yuan family should be the master, he forcibly killed the eunuchs, dismissed his relatives, seized the power of the court, and let the scholars control the world.
Yuan Shao was overjoyed, and sent Luoyang Fangluo military officials to monitor the eunuchs, and secretly sent people to contact Dong Zhuo, the former official of his uncle Taifu Yuan Kui.
After Dong Zhuo received Yuan Kui's secret letter, he hesitated for a moment and summoned his adviser and son-in-law Li Ru to discuss. Li Ru said with a smile: "Removing eunuchs is something that everyone in the world is looking forward to, why is Ming Gong hesitant?" Yuan is the benefactor of Ming Gong, and the benefactor has an order, so he naturally obeys. After the deed is completed, the Ming Duke will be rewarded by the Yuan family. ”
Dong Zhuo hadn't decided for a while, and suddenly someone outside the window shouted: "I thought that Li Wenyou had an unpredictable plan, but I didn't want Li Wenyou to be so shallow." ”
Dong Zhuo was secretly angry, but his face was not obvious, he got up and laughed and shouted: "I don't know what Miss Liang has to say, Zhong Ying listens." ”
I saw a beautiful woman walking into the house from outside the house, and her style and posture were extremely attractive. But in the eyes of Dong Zhuo, who was lustful in the past, he regarded it as a snake and scorpion and did not dare to touch it. This woman is Liang Rou, a descendant of the general Liang Ji.
Liang Rou was wanted by the court in the case of the White Horse Temple, and had to move the whole family to a good place. Liang Rou lurked secretly to help Dong Zhuo in the photo restore his old position.
When pacifying the Qiang rebellion, he lured the traitors Beigong Yu and Li Wenhou's former Qiang people for Dong Zhuo to defect to his command. In addition, Dong Zhuo's prestige among the Western Liangqiang people is quite high, and in a few years, Dong Zhuo's soldiers and horses have become more and more, reaching 50,000 or 60,000 people at this time, so he has won the scruples of the court.
In February, the court had worshiped Dong Zhuo, who had quelled the rebellion in Xiliang, as the pastor of the state, and handed over the soldiers and horses to Huangfu Song to lead. Dong Zhuo was unwilling to give up his military power, so as not to be humiliated by the sword and pen officials again in the future, so he should not be called. The court had no choice but to worship Dong Zhuo as the Taishou of Hedong and crusade against the white wave thieves. Dong Zhuo couldn't shirk it, so he could only take his son-in-law Zhonglang and General Niu Fu as the main general, and lead more than 10,000 troops to enter Hedong County to beg for thieves.
Li Rubai said, "Wen You has seen Miss Liang. ”
Liang Rou glanced at Li Ru with disdain, and said: "Removing the eunuch is a big deal, and at present, the Han court is in power with the great general He Suigao, why don't you see the general's order and the court's summons, only Yuan's private message?" Has Zhong Ying thought about this? ”
Li Ru was taken aback and asked, "What did Miss Liang say that the Yuan family was doing to hide this from the general?" ”
Liang Rou nodded in agreement, turned around and sat on Dong Zhuo's seat, Dong Zhuo had to stand next to him and listen with a smile.
"It's not Yuan's family, it's Yuan Benchu's own person." Seeing that the two were puzzled, Liang Rou had no choice but to say: "When I was in Luoyang, I often heard that Yuan Benchu raised his value, and he should not be called by the imperial court, and he specialized in raising outlaws, and most of the scholars were willing to use it for him. Because he knew that this person was extremely ambitious and assertive, he ignored Yuan Kui's words. So this time it should be Yuan Benchu's one-man strategy. ”
Dong Zhuo looked at Yuan Kui's secret letter again, nodded again and again, and said, "Yes, it is indeed a little different from Yuan Taifu's previous documents. ”
Liang Rou said again: "This time, Yuan originally thought that he intended to use the power of He Suigao to get rid of the eunuchs, and then use the power of Zhong Ying to get rid of He Suigao and complete his goal of dominating the dynasty. Whether Zhong Ying is going or not, please think twice. ”
After Dong Zhuo heard this, his heart was even more difficult to decide, since he was imprisoned in the prison of Yanwei Mansion last time, he was extremely afraid of Luoyang City. I was afraid that I would enter it again and be tortured by the jailers. In the past few years, only by staying in the army and being protected by the army at all times, Dong Zhuo can feel a little relieved.
This time he was going to Luoyang City again, Dong Zhuo was very resistant in his heart, so he looked at his own think tank Li Ru.
Li Ru stroked the thin beard under his forehead, pondered for a long time, and asked, "Wen You dares to ask Ming Gongzhi?" ”
