Chapter Seventy-Three: On the Hall of the Gard
In the Jiade Palace, it was already three poles in the sun, and all the officials had arrived, but only He Jin and Ye Zhao were not in the court.
Ye Zhao took his family and the three guards of Lu Ben out of the city overnight last night, and he still has no whereabouts, which Yuan Shao and others know well, but He Jin did not appear in the court, which made the hundred officials a little puzzled.
"Originally, didn't the butcher call me to wait for the court? Why don't you see them? Wang Yun leaned over to Yuan Shao's side and asked in a low voice.
"I don't know." Yuan Shao shook his head and said, "Who came to see He Jin last night?" ”
"Wei Boru, he is He Jin's guest, and he has been following He Jin's side." Wang Yundao.
Yuan Shao thought for a moment, but he couldn't think of which one He Jin was singing, and then supported Liu Wei as the emperor, which should be the first major thing for He Jin, but at this moment, He Jin was nowhere to be seen.
Somehow, Yuan Shao suddenly had a bad premonition in his heart, this He butcher seemed to be out of their control.
"Yuan Gong~" At this moment, Wu Qiong, the captain of the city gate, suddenly came in from outside the hall and trotted to Yuan Kui's side, Yuan Shao and Wang Yun saw this and hurriedly rushed up.
"You are not guarding the city at the gates, what are you doing here?" Yuan Kui frowned and looked at Wu Qiong, although he was a hero yesterday, after all, he was only a captain of the city gate, and he was not qualified to participate in the government.
"It's urgent, and the last general must come." Wu Qiong bowed and said.
"What happened?" Yuan Shao walked up and looked at Wu Qiongdao, Yuan Kui saw this, and didn't ask any more, just looked at Wu Qiong.
"Back to the general, the general led the army out of the city half an hour ago, look at the direction, it should be the direction of going to the Xiyuan campus, the last general is worried that there will be a change, so he has come to inform Yuan Gong." Wu Qiong bowed and said.
"What!?" When several people heard this, their faces changed greatly.
"What does the butcher want to do!?" Yuan Shao looked at Yuan Kui and said urgently.
"Gather the military power of the West Garden." Yuan Kui sighed and said: "Call me to enter the court first, and take the opportunity to collect the soldiers and horses of Xiyuan, he is a general, after His Majesty dies, he should be able to get the jade seal in the palace, at this moment, I am afraid that he has brought the order of the Son of Heaven and subdued the new army of Xiyuan!" ”
Wang Yun frowned and said: "This kind of scheming, if you have to go in, I don't know who is giving him advice?" Person...... Kill! ”
Yuan Shao glanced at Wang Yun speechlessly, when has this been, why do you still care about this? Immediately turned around and walked outside the palace.
"Where did we go?" Wang Yun hurriedly grabbed Yuan Shao and said, "At this time, He Jin will definitely hold the edict of the Son of Heaven, and it is useless to go." ”
"It's better than nothing." Yuan Shao broke away from Wang Yun and wanted to leave the palace, but saw a row of female soldiers stopping at the door at some point, and Ma Nanxiang's burly and sturdy body blocked in front of Yuan Shao.
"Get out of the way!" Yuan Shao stretched out his hand to push Ma Nanxiang away, but although Ma Nanxiang was a woman, her figure and strength were much stronger than ordinary men.
"Forgive me, the lieutenant of the Chinese military, the general has an order, and before the general returns, the ministers of the Jiade Hall are allowed to enter and not leave!" Ma Nanxiang glanced at Yuan Shao expressionlessly, his burly figure had a strong oppressive force.
"Presumptuous!" Yuan Shao was furious when he heard this, pointed at Ma Nanxiang and said sharply: "You are just a North Palace Army Sima, dare to stop me?" ”
"Don't dare!" Ma Nanxiang took a step back in a sullen voice and bowed: "We are just acting on orders, before the general returns, anyone who dares to take half a step out of the Jiade Hall will be killed!" ”
As Ma Nanxiang's words fell, the female soldiers behind him automatically lined up in two rows, each holding a crossbow arrow, the front row knelt on one knee, but the back row stood directly and pointed the crossbow in her hand at Yuan Shao.
"You ......" Yuan Shao gritted his teeth and looked at these female soldiers, and shouted: "Just female soldiers, I don't believe that you dare to do it!" ”
As he spoke, he walked out, and Yuan Kui in the rear was in a hurry when he saw this, and hurriedly shouted: "Don't be reckless at the beginning!" ”
"Ding Ding~"
Two crisp sounds, Yuan Shao only felt a chill in his heart, and two crossbow arrows were nailed less than three inches in front of his feet, Ma Nanxiang bowed his hand and said: "Forgive the lieutenant of the Chinese army, this arrow was deliberately missed, if the lieutenant of the Chinese military insists on moving forward, the general can only follow the military order." ”
Yuan Shao was pulled back by Wang Yun, and with a wave of his hand, the two rows of female soldiers quickly withdrew, as if nothing had happened.
"I forgot who trained these female soldiers?" Wang Yun looked at Yuan Shaodao with a wry smile.
Yuan Shao took a deep breath, and a wave of hatred emanated from the inside out: "The butcher is treacherous, it's really hateful!" ”
The prototype of Beigong Wei was trained by Ye Zhao, the most important military discipline, although since returning to Luoyang, after the expansion of Beigong Wei, with the laissez-faire and lack of attention of the Son of Heaven, it has gradually changed its taste, but the backbone of Ma Nanxiang, Ren Hongchang, and Li Shuxiang have always been the first in General Ji, Yuan Shao is also a little afraid when he thinks about it at the moment, if he continues to be reckless just now, maybe he will really have to explain here.
When Wang Yun heard this, he really didn't know what to say, in fact, they calculated He Jin first, and took advantage of He Jin to lead the five schools of the Northern Army into the city to subdue the new army first, and now He Jin reacted and turned against the first army, whether in terms of righteousness or emotion, they really have nothing to say.
"Duke Yuan, this is not the time to dwell on this matter, He Jin has obtained the military power of Luoyang, Ye Zhao led his troops to leave Luoyang, this Luoyang military power has fallen into the hands of He Jin alone, and the previous plan may not be used again!" Wang Yun looked at Yuan Kui and said.
According to their previous plan, if they can get the new army in Xiyuan and have the support of the scholars in the city, they can deal with He Jin in the matter of the new emperor, set up Liu Xie as the emperor, and then eat away at He Jin's power step by step.
But now that He Jin has reacted and seized the power of the new army, things have completely begun to develop in the opposite direction to what they expected, and it has become a little unrealistic for them to set aside He Jin and use Liu Wei to control the government.
Yuan Kui nodded, and after thinking silently for a moment, he said: "It is a foregone conclusion that He Jin will regain military power, and he must not be confronted with it, now he can obey the butcher and support the prince as the emperor, and in addition, quickly send someone to find Ye Zhao." ”
"Yuan Gong is going to let that butcher deal with Ye Zhao?" Wang Yun's eyes lit up, he was put on a show by Ye Zhao last night, and his face was lost, at this moment he was desperate to find Ye Zhao's bad luck, but unfortunately Ye Zhao ran fast, and he didn't give them a chance to attack Ye Zhao with He Jin at all.
"No, not only can't you find him bad luck at this moment, but you also have to praise him!" Yuan Kui shook his head and said.
"What does Yuan Gong mean by this? That Ye Zhao ......" Wang Yun frowned and looked at Yuan Kui, but was interrupted by Yuan Kui.
"Zishi, if we want to achieve great things, we must be broad-minded, regardless of the immediate gains and losses!" Yuan Kui glanced at Wang Yun deeply and said, "Then why can't he enter a butcher, how can he have the ability to see our plan?" I'm afraid that Ye Zhao is instigating from behind his back, Ye Zhao withdrew from Luoyang, just to make us and He Jin conflict, if I expect it to be true, then Ye Zhao will not go far, and there will be news of him soon, if Ye Zhao and He Jin join forces, we will never have peace, at this time, when Ye Zhao is pulled back and put him in a high position, in this way, in this way, the butcher can be jealous, so as to regenerate suspicion! I'll have to wait to get around it. ”
"Yuan Gong's clever plan!" Wang Yun's eyes lit up, and he looked at Yuan Kui with admiration.
"If you finish Ye Zhao's business, you will do it from the beginning." Yuan Kui looked at Yuan Shaodao on the side.
"Me?" Yuan Shao looked at Yuan Kui unexpectedly, and said in a low voice: "But uncle, I ...... with that Ye Zhao"
"It doesn't matter how you and Ye Zhao are, the important thing is that in He Jin's eyes, you and Ye Zhao are intimate, and now He Jin must have become suspicious of us, in a short period of time, I am afraid that it will not be eliminated, and the relationship between him and Ye Zhao must be instigated, and he cannot lobby, so that he can be suspicious of himself, so that he can succeed." Looking at Yuan Shao with a reluctant face, Yuan Kui said in a deep voice: "Originally, those who have achieved great things should be able to endure what others can't, this matter can only be done by you, and other people are not enough!" ”
Today's Ye Zhao, although he withdrew from Luoyang, but his influence on Luoyang not only did not disappear, but every move affected the situation in Luoyang, at this moment, letting Ye Zhao outside Luoyang, just like letting him sit in the position of a chess player, it is not a wise move to reap the benefits, it is better to pull Ye Zhao back to the court and pull him down from the position of a chess player, otherwise with Ye Zhao on his side, even if he has a way to remove He Jin, he has to face Ye Zhao, who may be in trouble at any time, like a mang in his back, and he can't be eliminated.
"Whoa!" Seeing Yuan Kui's rare solemn and serious expression, Yuan Shao didn't dare to disobey, and hurriedly bowed down and said, "Shao knows what to do." ”
Acting on the spot, in fact, no one is unfamiliar with it in the officialdom, but Yuan Shao is no longer the concubine of the Yuan family in the past, he is valued by Yuan Kui, and he hopes to compete with Yuan Shu for the qualification of the heir of the head of the Yuan family.
"Boru is now under the butcher's account, Zishi, you go to find Boru and let him be careful, then He Jin is afraid that he is prejudiced against us and other scholars at this time, Boru is his staff, although he has no official position, but for us, it is very important, and it is also a bridge between us and He Jin." Yuan Kui said in a deep voice.
"Don't worry, Gong Yuan, when today's matter is over, I will contact Boru." Wang Yun nodded.
"The general has arrived~"
Just when a few people were discussing, they heard the eunuch outside the hall shouting in a shrill voice, everyone immediately closed their voices, looked towards the outside of the Jiade Palace, and saw He Jin wearing armor and pressing the sword, striding into the Jiade Palace, and smiling at everyone: "There is something temporary, the tired princes have been waiting for a long time, and the sin of entering, I hope that the princes are not strange." ”
"I don't know what the general is about?" Yuan Kui smiled and asked, "Even such a major event as the death of the Son of Heaven was delayed?" ”
"Don't blame the princes, the new army in Shixi Park has no owner, and the general is afraid that there will be villains who will take the opportunity to collect the military power, so he will take the lead in collecting the military power." He Jin looked at Yuan Kui with some pride, wanting to see what Yuan Kui's expression was when his plan was broken, but to his surprise, Yuan Kui looked indifferent, and Wang Yun, Yuan Shao and others beside him also looked like they had nothing to do with themselves, which made He Jin feel like he was punched in the air.
