Chapter Seventy-Seven: Scheming
He Jin has not agreed to Yuan Shao's request, although he is now rebuilding the old friendship with the scholars again, but for this group of scholars, He Jin is now twelve points vigilant.
The scholars want to kill the ten permanent servants, He Jin always feels that it is a little redundant, and now the ten permanent servants have ascended the throne with the new emperor, there is no longer much threat, Yuan Shao said that the ten permanent servants are all over the government and the opposition, but where are they?
He Jin looked all over the court, except for the scholars, he really couldn't find the shadow of the ten permanent servants.
Although he didn't know why Yuan Shao had to let himself kill the Ten Standing Attendants, He Jin was able to clearly find out this time that Yuan Shao was deceiving himself again.
He was tricked by scholars a few times before, but this time, He Jin finally had some scheming, and he kept dragging on this matter, not saying yes or no.
In the second year of Guangxi, He Jin suggested that Liu Wei change the era name and change the era name to Zhaoning, after all, Guangxi still has a little bit of Zhongping's shadow and changes the country name, which can be regarded as a new beginning, in fact, at this time, Liu Wei ascended the throne in less than four months.
The world is still a little chaotic, but at least this Luoyang city has settled down, He Jin doesn't want to go to the trouble of the ten permanent servants at the moment, it is good to have these people, it is also a threat and warning to the family, he He Jin, the dignified general, the uncle of the Son of Heaven, is not something that these people can manipulate as guns at will.
"At the beginning, don't persuade me anymore, that butcher is obviously wary of us." In the Yuan Mansion, after returning from the General's Mansion, Wang Yun looked at Yuan Shao and persuaded.
"Damn!" Yuan Shao said fiercely: "Now that Ding Yuan has led the army south, he is about to cross the Yellow River, once Ding Yuan has passed Chenggao, it will be very difficult for me to hide this matter again!" ”
"I originally talked about this matter, but I remembered another thing, a few days ago, Chang'an ordered a letter, Dong Zhuo led the people and horses to pass the pond, saying that they were edicted to come to Luoyang, I don't know if it was the reinforcements invited at the beginning?" Wang Yun suddenly frowned and asked.
"Dong Zhuo?" Yuan Shao frowned when he heard this: "Although I have some friendship with the good family, I am not thick, and Dong Zhuo is now leading the state pastor in the land of Xiliang, and he has not worshiped for a long time, and he has long lost contact, how can he be here at this time?" ”
"Didn't you do it in the first place?" Wang Yun was startled, looked at Yuan Shao and said, "Could it be that the butcher noticed the clue?" ”
Yuan Shao shook his head, his mind was a little confused, and after a while, he said solemnly: "You should inform your uncle about this matter and ask him to decide." ”
"Good!" Wang Yun nodded, Yuan Kui was scheming and calculating, and he looked at things more profoundly than they did.
Yuan Kui since the end of the year, he rarely goes to the court, now the court He Jin is the only family, even if you are the third prince, it is difficult to make your own voice in the court, during this time at home self-cultivation, practice calligraphy, fiddle with flowers, birds, insects and fish or something, life is also comfortable.
"Don't limit your eyes to the court, the butcher has been calculated by me several times, and it is normal for people to be wary of us." Yuan Kui stretched out his hand to tease the solemn bird, and after listening to the two of them, he said indifferently: "But Dong Zhuo's coming to Beijing is indeed a bit unexpected, but it will not be a butcher's means, no matter how stupid he is, now that Luoyang is in power, it is impossible to attract Dong Zhuo to compete with him." ”
"As for the leak...... It's not impossible, but don't mess with yourself, it's not just He Jin and I who can influence the situation now. ”
"Uncle is talking about ......" Yuan Shao's eyes moved, looked at Yuan Kui and blurted out: "Ye Zhao!?" ”
Yuan Kui didn't answer, but said indifferently: "Although Dong Zhuo has 100,000 soldiers, it is impossible for him to take 100,000 soldiers and horses with him, first go to find out how many people he has before he makes calculations, and send someone to order Jianyang, so that he can speed up the march, and be sure to arrive before Dong Zhuo comes to Luoyang. ”
"Luoyang soldiers and horses?" Wang Yun looked at Yuan Kui suspiciously and said, "Duke Yuan, now that the soldiers and horses in Luoyang are in the hands of that butcher, how can we mobilize them?" ”
"The butcher is dead, and it will be easy for me to take the Luoyang soldiers and horses again." Yuan Kui glanced at him lightly and said.
Yuan Shao smiled bitterly: "It's just that this butcher is very guarded against us now, and the armor soldiers around him never leave him, so how easy is it to kill him?" ”
"Murder...... Do it yourself! Yuan Kui turned his head and looked at Yuan Shao and said: "Since the butcher is unwilling to kill the ten permanent servants, then let the ten permanent servants kill the butcher, there will never be one solution to the things in this world, the right one is good, this place may understand?" ”
How can the ten permanent servants kill him?
Yuan Shao was stunned for a moment, and then suddenly, he smiled at Yuan Kui and said, "Uncle still understands it, Shao is not as good as it." ”
"Have you visited Ye Zhao recently?" As if thinking of something, Yuan Kui looked at Yuan Shaodao.
"I went there once at the end of the year, and my complexion was much better, but it still looked a little decadent." Yuan Shao frowned and said, "Uncle, is Ye Zhao really pretending to be sick?" ”
Since Yuan Kui asked him to re-befriend Ye Zhao, Yuan Shao often went to the Tiger Prison to communicate with Ye Zhao after the initial resistance, and the relationship was a little more relaxed than that year ago, at least it was no longer so competitive, the only thing that made Yuan Shao puzzled was that even if Ye Zhao pretended to be sick, he shouldn't have been pretending to be like this, now Luoyang seems to be calm, but in fact, He Jin is constantly consolidating his power, how could Ye Zhao be indifferent, does he see He further step by step to hold the court in his hands?
"Yes or no, it doesn't matter anymore." Yuan Kui sighed: "Only now, the old man has come to understand that what Ye Zhao is most worried about is not the butcher, or rather, he has never regarded the butcher as an opponent. ”
"This ......" Yuan Shao frowned and looked at Yuan Kui, He Jin now holds Luoyang soldiers and horses, but in terms of military strength, it is five times that of Ye Zhao, and he has never regarded He Jin as an opponent, where did he get this confidence?
"The old man is tired!" Yuan Kui shook his head, ignored the two of them, and walked straight to the room.
Yuan Shao wanted to ask again, but was stopped by Wang Yun: "You don't have to ask at the beginning." ”
"Uncle, what do you mean by that?" Yuan Shao looked at Wang Yun suspiciously.
"Taifu has already said very clearly, Ye Zhao did not regard the butcher as an opponent, it is because even if the butcher is now stepping into power and stabilizing his power, Ye Zhao has always chosen to avoid it, in this Luoyang City, apart from the butcher, who else can make Ye Zhao jealous?" Wang Yun sighed.
"You mean......" Yuan Shao reacted and looked at Wang Yun incredulously, in this Luoyang City, if you want to say that you can threaten Ye Zhao, except for He Jin, only they are left.
It's just that...... This doesn't make sense!
How do you look at it, now in this Luoyang City, He Jin is more threatening, no matter what, Ye Zhao should be even weak and resisting strong, why do you have to sit and watch their living space being squeezed by He Jin step by step but be indifferent? Don't you know that once the scholar is cleaned up by He Jin, it will be Ye Zhao's turn next?
"Exactly." Wang Yun smiled bitterly.
"Then He Jin is strong, and we are in a weak position, how can Ye Zhao be so unwise?" Yuan Shao frowned.
"It's not unwise, it's wise!" Wang Yun looked at Yuan Shao with a wry smile and said: "Thinking about it carefully, even if the He butcher is powerful, but his decree is going out of Luoyang, it still has to pass through us, just like Jianyang went south, and the state elite rode over the mountains and mountains, such a big movement, but the river map has not been known for a long time, if He Butcher falls, why should Ye Zhao fight with us?" ”
Yuan Shao nodded, He Jin is at least Liu Wei's uncle, and he has also been in the position of general for several years, plus now he has soldiers and horses in his hands, he can suppress them in Luoyang, but what does Ye Zhao have?
Although she is also a relative of the emperor, this gold content is too far behind He Jin, even if Liu Wei is favored, she is also a daughter, pushing forward for dozens or hundreds of years, it is all a political bargaining chip used as a relative, and the concubine Duwei is suspected of eating soft rice many times, although Ye Zhao is not among them, but in the eyes of most people, it is not much worse.
If He Jin fell, Ye Zhao would be able to obtain all the military power in Luoyang and control the emperor, but as long as the Yuan family ascended to the heights, the world turned against him, not to mention that the princes and the crusade against Ye Zhao, just cut off the tribute, this court, Ye Zhao could not maintain.
The five colonels of the Northern Army, the new army, the city gate defenders, the Yulin army and Ye Zhao's soldiers and horses add up to nearly 80,000 people, just raising these soldiers and horses, Luoyang, which is not a place of grain production, can make Ye Zhao have a headache to death, not to mention, there are also courtiers, and the livelihood of the people is pressed down, even if Ye Zhao wins the imperial court, he will definitely not be able to defend it, and he will only fall into a desperate situation.
On the other hand, if the scholars occupy the court, it will be a different scene, this Tianxia prefectures and counties, almost all of them are controlled by the family, with the momentum of the Yuan family, it can easily make all the states and counties in the world submit, and when the time comes, the court will be in the hands of the Yuan family, and Ye Zhao will naturally not have any good end......
After thinking about the key clearly, Yuan Shao took a deep breath and muttered, "No wonder Ye Zhao wanted to evacuate Luoyang in the first place, so it was...... I see! ”
Now that Ye Zhao let anyone sit down, he wanted to let He Jin in suppress the family, and in the end, if He Jin wins, Ye Zhao can call on the world to crusade, even if He Jin loses, Ye Zhao is outside the court at the moment, and in righteousness, they have no reason to clean up Ye Zhao, Ye Zhao can retreat calmly and wait and see how the times change.
"What a deep calculation!" Thinking about this, Yuan Shao was even more jealous of Ye Zhao in his heart, doesn't this mean that when Liu Hong died, Ye Zhao had already thought about it so much, and even thought about his own future.
"In this way, Dong Zhuo's coming is very likely to be Ye Zhao's hands and feet." Yuan Shao looked at Wang Yun and said, "It's just that Ye Zhao has nothing to do with Dong Zhuo, how did he say that Dong Zhuo, who was thousands of miles away, came to Luoyang to get involved in this matter?" ”
"It doesn't matter anymore." Wang Yun smiled bitterly and said, "The top priority is how to make those ten permanent servants kill He Butcher?" ”
Yuan Shao nodded when he heard this: "Yes, as long as He Butcher dies, this Luoyang Dynasty will be in my hands, then Ye Zhao will only be able to give in to us even if he has a deep plan, but this matter still needs to be planned carefully, and he must not be suspicious." ”
