Chapter 140: Three Ways to Fight for Thieves
The people in the hall saw that it was the first Zhang Rang of the Ten Standing Attendants, and they were all in danger and did not dare to say more.
The humiliated old minister's face was full of anger, gritting his teeth, and he didn't know where he got the courage, he opened his mouth and scolded loudly, all the ministers were shocked, and no one dared to speak.
Zhang Rang's eyes narrowed slightly, and he didn't say much, but the super emperor nodded slightly, and Emperor Liu Hong of the Han Dynasty waved his hand and shouted, "Quickly pull this person down and the car is split, it is really a big rebellion to be so insulting to the dynasty" A face was already red with anger.
Naturally, the guards in front of the palace stepped forward to pull people, dragged them down, and Yuan Shao, the eldest son of the Yuan family next to him, raised his eyebrows, and just wanted to step forward, only to feel a gaze next to him.
Turning his head, he saw that it was his father, Taifu Yuan Kui, who was secretly shaking his head at himself at this time, suppressing the anger in his heart and sighing secretly, Yuan Shao retreated.
Liu Hong looked at His Royal Highness, no one dared to speak, and asked Zhang Rang in a deep voice, "Some people say that there are anti-thieves all over the world today, causing trouble to my big man, I don't know what Father Rang thinks about this matter?" ”。
Zhang Rang smiled and said, "The emperor doesn't need to panic, which dynasty has not had a few waves of anti-thieves, now, the Han Dynasty is peaceful and peaceful, but some young people have nothing to do when they are full and have nothing to do there, and they are just sick of scabies."
"I see, I'm worried, since this makes my father feel that I should deal with it?".
"The emperor only needs to order the local state government to send troops to encircle and suppress, and then supplement it with one or two generals to drive it away" Zhang Rang did not give a salute, and sat down on the couch beside Liu Hong.
Liu Hong nodded slightly and muttered, "This leader of the army has an important position, so he can't easily deal with him, let my father plan how much the treasury can receive this time?" “。
"It depends on what official position the emperor wants to entitle, of course, the position of general has the most income, but I am afraid that the tail will not be able to get rid of it, so Weichen thinks that it is enough to ask for a thief, and there is no need to work hard to mobilize the public, as for the treasury input, I think the position of Zhonglang General is enough."
As soon as Zhang Rang's words fell, he saw a person walk in outside the hall, this person had a fierce face, a generous body, and his steps were like the wind.
As soon as the people entered the palace, they shouted to Liu Hong, "The emperor must not listen to the words of one person, when there are many thieves today, how can the local defenders be suppressed, if the court does not send a large army, let the thieves become bigger, that is the crisis of the Han Dynasty."
Although Zhang Rang was not afraid of ordinary ministers, he frowned when he saw this person, and Liu Hong also hesitated a little and said, "He Aiqing's words are wrong, my Han country is peaceful and peaceful, and the soldiers are full of food, although there are stubborn thieves, what are you afraid of, He Aiqing is too worried, right?" “。
Zhang Rang also said on the side, "What the emperor said is extremely true, my Han is such an elite soldier, can't he still deal with just a few thieves?" General Ho is worried too much."
"I, He Jin, is for the sake of the Han world, the emperor is in the palace, and he is slandered by the villain, so he naturally does not have the external situation, at this time, it is not an ordinary defender who can resist, don't you know that there are county towns in both places and Hebei, and the Jingxiang area of Henan is even more troublesome, if you don't take advantage of it now, it will be difficult to clean up when the thieves become bigger" He Jin shouted loudly, ignoring Zhang Rang's words.
Zhang Rang was scolded by He Jin, his face sank and darkened, and his eyes flashed with murderous intent, but he didn't dare to be rampant with this person, but just gave Liu Hong a look.
Emperor Liu Hong of the Han Dynasty frowned, although he was unhappy in his heart, he was helpless, and sighed slowly, "Since He Aiqing said so, what do you think should be done?" “。
"Drop the Praetorian Guard, cooperate with the soldiers of the five schools, and choose a good general to resist the enemy and suppress the thief side is the best policy, and it is no longer enough to wait for death."
Zhang Rang was shocked when he heard this, and hurriedly said, "The emperor can't be like this, the Praetorian Guard is the guarantee of the capital, how can you move lightly, if there is a change in the city, what can you do to resist the enemy?" “。
"Well, let my father's words be reasonable, but He Aiqing's words also make sense, so it's okay, choose a compromise method, the Praetorian Guard will stay in the city and not move, and the good general will transfer the soldiers of the fifth school to fight the thieves, but I didn't pay attention to this person for a while, who do you say should be chosen?"
He Jin laughed and said, "The minister is willing to share the worries of the emperor, as a general, of course, I have to take the lead, and this time the troops will be handed over to Weichen."
"Your Majesty, although General He is brave and invincible, but after all, he wants to protect the imperial city without losing, I think this battle can just ask General He to stay in the city, in order to shock the group of thieves, there are many good generals in the court, and you can send others."
"It makes sense, but since He Aiqing is asking for war, how can I refute his face, I will appoint He Aiqing as the generalissimo of the world's soldiers and horses, command the world's soldiers and horses, and assist the government in the court, is he willing to do so?" Liu Hong looked at He Jin with a gloomy face, this was already his biggest limit.
"The minister received the order to thank you, in this case, I recommend these two people behind me as the generals of the left and right armies, and they can lead the army to go out to relieve the worries of His Highness" said a finger pointing to the two generals behind him.
Zhang Rang had already seen the two of them, facing up to his mortal enemies, Wang Kuang, Fang Yue, if they were asked to bring troops, wouldn't He Jin's power be even stronger, and his own life would be lost sooner or later, he snorted coldly in his heart and said, "Although these two people have a reputation for bravery, they have no experience in leading soldiers, how can it be child's play to ask for thieves, and Weichen thinks that it is better to choose a famous general in the court."
Liu Hong is not a fool, He Jin has just been named the generalissimo of the world's soldiers and horses, and he has introduced two or so generals, if it is sealed, the entire Han will belong to his He family, and he must divide power to contain it.
"Well~~~ I have a lot of good generals, so I won't reward them separately for the time being, you Aiqing can have good candidates, and I will choose them one by one" Liu Hong nodded and said loudly.
At this time, Shangshu Lu Zhi was secretly happy in his heart, this opportunity must not be missed, and hurriedly stood up and said, "The old minister is willing to serve His Majesty."
"Oh, Lu Shangshu is willing to go on the expedition, it's really gratifying, since that's the case, I'll ~~~~" Liu Hong was ecstatic when he saw Lu Zhi coming out, this person has never formed a party for personal gain, and he has no power to go alone, so of course he can rest assured that he will hand over the military power.
Just about to give it to him, I only heard Zhang let me say, "The emperor is slow, Lu Shangshu is indeed feasible to go on the expedition, but after all, he is old, his strength is not enough, and the thieves are divided into three or four places, how can one person on the road refuse to be separated, I think it is better to send a few more people, so as to share the pressure of Shangshu."
Liu Hong looked at Zhang Rang, nodded with a slight sigh, and said, "It's okay, then according to what Aiqing said, I don't know who else is the candidate?" “。
"The minister can recommend two people, and they will definitely be able to exterminate the thieves" At this time, His Royal Highness walked out slowly and opened his mouth to shout.
"There are good candidates in Sikong, but I will use them" Liu Hong looked down, and saw that he was in charge of Sikong Xun Shuang, and responded in a loud voice.
Zhang Rang looked at him and couldn't be provoked, so he didn't say much, just listened to who the person he mentioned was.
Xun Shuang's face did not change, and he said loudly, "The minister recommended Zhu Jun, the marquis of Duting, and Fu Song, the emperor of Beidi, these two are good generals for generations, and they will definitely succeed in a battle if they send troops to suppress thieves."
Liu Hong thought for a while and said, "These two are both border officials, and they hold important positions, so if they are easily transferred, I am afraid it is inappropriate, right?" “。
Zhang Rang was secretly happy after hearing this, and hurriedly said, "The emperor doesn't have to worry, now the border is stable, the foreign clan is constantly fighting, and he is powerless to pose a threat to my Han, and his words are feasible", if the two of them are asked to lead troops to suppress, one is not to strengthen the power of the court, but not to lose the strength of the capital, and you can also take the opportunity to reduce the strength of the two of them, killing three birds with one stone, this Xun Shuang is really a clever move.
"Okay, just listen to the commonplace, Feng Lu Zhi is the general of Beizhonglang, Huangfu Song is the general of the left Zhonglang, Zhu Jun is the general of the right Zhonglang, immediately send troops to suppress the thief, there must be no mistake, the public positions will be given separately, and He Aiqing will be fully responsible for the time being, so let's do it today, I'm a little tired, let's retreat" Liu Hong looked tired, he hadn't discussed things like this for a long time, and he was already a little impatient.
At this time, suddenly a minister came out and said, "The old minister still has a matter, please ask Your Majesty for permission."
Liu Hong was just about to get up, but he didn't expect anyone to speak, but when he saw this person, he was helpless, so he had to sit back and sigh, "What is the matter with the Taifu, but it doesn't matter, I will call the shots for you", the speaker is the Taifu of the dynasty, and he can be regarded as Liu Hong's teacher, not to mention that the family is illustrious, not comparable to ordinary people, Liu Hong has always treated him with courtesy.
Taifu Yuan Kui was too old, standing there tremblingly, like a dead tree that would fall at any time, and said in a trembling voice, "The old minister is old, and he has been feeling more and more powerless recently, so I want to ask the emperor to decree that the minister should return to his hometown and take care of his old age, which is also the last wish of Weichen."
Liu Hong suddenly felt a little sad when he heard this, the old minister for many years, assisting the three generations of emperors, suddenly said that he wanted to tell the old man to return to his hometown is really a little reluctant, but people say that it is reasonable, and it is not easy to refuse, so he nodded and said, "Since the Taifu wishes, I should be approved, but the position of the Taifu really needs someone to sit, and you can recommend the talents in the clan to take your position to assist me."
Yuan Kui pointed to Yuan Shao next to him and said, "This is my eldest son, who can succeed me and serve the emperor, the emperor thinks about my clan, and the old minister is grateful."
Liu Hong nodded and waved his hand and said, "Then that's it, I'm a little sentimental, you can wait for yourself" After that, he didn't wait to retreat, turned around and walked towards the apse with the support of Zhang Rang.
A cadre of people in the hall, their faces are different, some are secretly happy in their hearts, and some are sighing and shaking their heads, as the generalissimo of soldiers and horses, He Jin, who is even more happy, saw the emperor leaving, couldn't help laughing a few times, and said to everyone, "You have worked hard, He Mou is a big day of joy today, I will hold a banquet in the house, and please enjoy the light~~~~Hahaha~~~" In the laughter, with Wang Kuang, Fang Yueer will turn around and leave.
Hearing He Jin's invitation, everyone is also worth going helplessly, after all, now his power is monstrous, how can someone who eats in the court not befriend this person, even Yuan Shao, who has just been promoted to Taifu, rushed to He Mansion to congratulate him under Yuan Kui's order.
The only one who didn't go, I'm afraid there is only Shangshu Lu Zhi, no, it is the Beizhong Lang general who has just taken office, Shangshu is a false position, although the official position is high, but there is no real power, this time he was named Zhonglang General, and led the troops to go to the battle, it can be regarded as a spring breeze proud, and the feeling of holding real power in his hands makes Lu Zhi's heart inevitably flutter.
