0151: He Jin and the eunuchs' worries (asking for recommendations, monthly passes, subscriptions)
The hussar general was set up by Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, or specially set up for Huo Quai, and at that time, it was the existence of the same three dukes. Although Huo Qu's illness was slightly lower, it was also second only to the general, higher than the general of the chariot cavalry, the general of Wei, and the generals of the front and back! To put it simply, above the hussar generals, there are only Taifu, the Great General and the Three Dukes, and they are the same rank as Lu Wanshi!
"Please think twice, Your Majesty!" When He Jin heard this, he immediately jumped out and shouted, "Although Champion Hou quelled the Jizhou rebellion, after all, he did not quell the rebellion alone, and gave such a high position, although Champion Hou's military exploits are indeed worthy of the position of hussar general, but after all, he is so young, if he is allowed to be in a high position, I am afraid it will not be appropriate." After He Jin finished speaking, he bowed down on top of the court and kept shouting Your Majesty to think twice, between his eyebrows, where is the previous joy? Seeing this, the scholars and doctors who had a good relationship with He Jin also followed suit.
"This ......" Liu Hong suddenly hesitated when he heard this, because He Jin's words were indeed not unreasonable, Li Yi was already a general at such a young age, if he was appointed as a hussar general...... Liu Hongke knows very well how capable those scholars and doctors are.
Speaking of which, Liu Hong's good impression of Li Yi is not unreasonable. At the beginning, it was because of the bilateral stirrups offered by Li Yi, Li Yi was only 4 years old at that time, and Liu Hong had just ascended the throne, and he was quite complacent. Although he is not the orthodox heir, as the chosen emperor, whether it is a scholar or a group of eunuchs, he has been wooed in various ways.
At that time, Li Yi was the person who was launched by the scholar group, or should be called a gift, to congratulate Liu Hong on his ascension to the throne. Originally, Li Yi just casually invented the bilateral stirrup and contributed it to the imperial court, but in the mouths of the scholars, such a simple thing has become a metaphor for God to use this incident as a metaphor that Liu Hong will definitely be able to achieve the achievements of the former Emperor Wu in the future.
Well, what is Emperor Wu's merit? Naturally, it was the north to attack the Huns! So does Liu Hong want to achieve this credit? Of course I did! In other words, there is nothing that the emperors of the entire Han Dynasty did not want to! After all, this is a miracle! Even today, it is still mentioned and sung.
So from that time on, Liu Hong was obsessed with Li Yi, and then whether Li Yi adopted a white tiger or after his father died, he supported the Li family business at the age of 11. In Liu Hong's eyes, it has become God's arrangement! Because he knew that even if God wanted him to achieve the merit of Emperor Wu, it would not be possible to achieve it out of thin air, so God sent Li Yi to assist Liu Hong in doing this.
If this were not the case, why did Li Yi invent the bilateral stirrup at a young age? Liu Hong had also seen that thing, and to be honest, he couldn't see anything unusual at all, that is, the horse rope on the foot had become two. But such a simple thing can have such a big impact on the training of the cavalry, if it is not arranged by God, why didn't others find out?
If this is not the case, why would Li Yi adopt a white tiger? And it's a very humane tiger? Liu Hong also ordered people to capture tigers to raise them because of curiosity, but unfortunately they were extremely ferocious and had no meekness at all. Moreover, it was still a white tiger! What is White Tiger? One of the Four Holy Beasts! In the legend of the main war to kill the mythical beasts!
If this is not the case, why didn't Xianbei Shan Yuhe even go anywhere, but ran to Bingzhou? Xianbei territory is next to Youzhou and Liangzhou, why doesn't he go to Youzhou and Liangzhou?
Well...... I have to say that Liu Hong seems to be a little superstitious. But because of this superstition, he was very sure that Li Yi was his Huo Quai. Therefore, he did not hesitate to give Li Yi the position of the champion Hou and General Duliao, and Li Yi did not meet his expectations, and directly led the army to hunt outside the Saiwai, which not only demonstrated the military might of the Han Dynasty, but also was called General Fei by the Hu people.
And now, the Yellow Turban Rebellion broke out, and Li Yi once again let Liu Hong see his strength in the war, and at the same time strengthened his thoughts in his heart. So although he didn't tell anyone, he already planned to arrange Li Yi's future according to the path of Huo Quai's illness in the past.
It's just a pity that this road was just about to go to the hussar general, and it was opposed by the scholars, but on the contrary, Liu Hong really didn't have any rebuttal. After all, he also knew that jumping from General Duliao to General Hussar at once was indeed too fast and too fast.
"Your Majesty, the minister thinks that the three thieves of the Yellow Turban are still there, and the champion Hou Shang is still under the account of the Huangfu Zhonglang General. If the champion Hou is promoted, how will Huangfu Zhonglang command the champion Hou at that time? And if you let the champion Hou take command, after all, he is still young, and he has been commanding the cavalry since he joined the army......" He Jin Balabala kept saying.
He naturally heard that Liu Hong wanted Li Yi to become his Huo Quzhi, but the problem was that Huo Quzhi's status in the future was almost equal to Wei Qing, Wei Qing didn't care at that time, it was because Huo Quzhi was his nephew! And Wei Qing's youth discipline is also older.
But He Jin and Li Yi have nothing to do with each other, he has even thought that if Li Yi is promoted to hussar general now, then when the Yellow Turban is destroyed, it is estimated that the champion Hou Guo will be directly reset. After defeating Xianbei, he will directly move the abandoned Da Sima out to Li Yi.
When the time comes, what will he do? You must know that since ancient times, Da Sima has been the highest position of military attaché! If Li Yi becomes the Great Sima, then what else can he do? And He Jin originally climbed up by nepotism, isn't the reason why there are so many scholars and doctors following him now is because there is no one other than him who can be pushed out to compete with the eunuchs?
But what if Li Yi appeared? He Jin dared to guarantee that all the scholars and doctors in the court would definitely run to Li Yi's side! After all, He Jin is just a butcher, Li Yi is still a landlord, and Li Yi is a disciple of Huangfu Gui and Zhang Huan! That's called a famous teacher!
Moreover, how many people in the entire court are protégés of Huangfu Gui and Zhang Huan? And how many have benefited from them? and that Qiao Xuan, who is also very optimistic about Li Yi, not to mention the many three princes in the past. Even if these scholars are following their persuasion now, how many of them are really opposed? It's just that he thinks that Li Yi was promoted too quickly, and it's not that he is not suitable for the position of hussar general.
"Alas, then Rong Zhen is thinking about it......" Liu Hong saw that many scholars were opposing, and the rest of the scholars were silent, and suddenly said helplessly. Although he is very optimistic about Li Yi, these people are so opposed, but he can't make decisions directly.
