Chapter 306: Destroy the thief in January
The court said to Liu Hong, so that Fuquan led the soldiers and horses of Ba County to send troops along the waterway to rescue the courtiers of Jiangxia County, but it was Su Buwei, who has been subordinate to the supervision department since he completed the affairs of the supervision department, and the affairs he has observed are quite good, and because he is promoted and recommended by Song Yu behind him, he has now been appointed by the imperial court as a counselor, which can be described as a prosperous official.
Counseling doctors, official rank of 600 stones, the number of incumbents is not fixed, there are no permanent things in peacetime, mainly for the emperor's advisers to deal with, Tina suggested, its predecessor was the Han Wu Emperor when the doctor, in the fifth year of the Yuan hunt for the first time. Of course, the counselor seems to be an idle position and does not need to do anything, but the counselor can discuss government affairs with the emperor, and even advise on how to deal with it, which is not ordinary.
Now in this court, it is normal for Su Buwei to suggest it, but he actually mentioned Fuquan, which makes people think about it, after all, everyone knows the relationship between him and Fuquan, and even the relationship between Song Yu and Fuquan behind him. Now that he has made such a proposal, others can't help but think about what Su Buwei wants, whether it is simply to repay the favor of the lord and let him make meritorious contributions, or is he instructed by others behind his back and has other ideas?
Even Liu Hong, who was sitting at the top at the moment, raised his eyebrows when he heard Su Buwei's words, and his flushed face looked at the ministers in the palace with a little more playfulness, will you still let Fuquan make meritorious contributions?
Sure enough, without waiting for others to speak, He Jin, the captain of the Tun cavalry, got up and retorted: "Back to Your Majesty, Ba County was all harmed by the Ban Yu barbarian chaos in the last year, and his vitality was greatly damaged. ”
He Jin, as the sworn enemy of the Song family's relatives, naturally can't watch the Song family's grandson Fuquan make meritorious deeds again, you must know that if he makes a few more meritorious contributions, he will definitely be promoted to the rank and knight, and with his current body as a pavilion marquis and a county guard, if he is promoted again, what else can he be? It can only be a high position such as the Three Princes and Nine Qings, and the Marquis of Wanhu, how can this make him feel at ease? He just saw that "Shi Hou" Liu Wei still has the opportunity to fight for the throne, and the He family still has the opportunity to rise to the inner dynasty, how can he let the opponent's strength increase again?
Therefore, in line with the principle of not allowing the opponent to be strong, He Jin could only find various reasons to prevent the emperor from ordering Fuquan to quell the chaos, even if the reason was lame, but it had to be so. Of course, He Jin didn't think about the meaning of asking Ying to quell the chaos, after all, as a relative, if he wants to be promoted to a knighthood, in addition to the emperor's favor, he must also have the necessary military exploits. 、
It's just that, obviously, the current He Jin is not proficient in military affairs, and there are few reliable generals around him, the most important thing is that he has not been a lieutenant for the first time, and he has not completely controlled the soldiers and horses. And Emperor Liu Hong strictly ordered that he could not mobilize the soldiers and horses of Luoyang, so He Jin could only dispel the thoughts in his heart, but he also decided that after going back, he must study the military affairs well, and if it is not good, he must also recruit a few reliable military generals, otherwise he has no military merits at all, how can he compete for power and seize the throne with the Song family?
Above the court here, He Jin's faction naturally agreed after he finished speaking, but the neutral scholars in the outer court were indifferent when they saw this, anyone could see from it that this was the time when the two relatives were fighting, and they wished that the two families would get up, of course they would not get involved in this matter, and if they got involved and stirred up the situation, what else could they see?
Of course, there are those who agree with He Jin, and naturally there are those who oppose He Jin, these people can only be the Song family, and no one else is needed, so Su Buwei retorted: "He Tunqi is wrong to say, the waterways between Jing and Yi are developed, if there are enough boats, Ba County to Jiangxia can be reached in a few days, why is it too late to rescue?" He Tunqi lives in Nanyang, how do you not know? Could it be that there are two hearts? In addition, in the southern counties, in addition to the Danyang soldiers in Xuzhou, what other army can be compared with the soldiers and horses under the command of Fuba County? ”
"Shaft! Thou art thou ......"
Su Buwei directly refuted He Jin's several reasons for stopping him one by one, and also said that He Jin had two hearts, and directly scolded He Jin so angrily, but when the words came out, he didn't know how to speak, after all, Su Buwei's rebuttal was reasonable, if he continued to do so, it was really possible that someone with a heart would impeach him for not having two hearts, so he who was originally angry had no choice but to stop in the end.
The war of words between the courtiers in the palace made Liu Hong, who was sitting at the top, look at it with relish, and as he became emperor for a long time, he gradually understood why Emperor Huan, who had set off the party, liked to make the court restless so much. Because only by provoking things and letting the three parties of relatives, eunuchs, and scholars fight, can he, as the emperor, feel at ease, otherwise once one party is left alone, where can he enjoy himself with peace of mind? That's why he vigorously supported the He family when the Song family had a tendency to dominate the inner dynasty, and he didn't stop the scolding war between He Jin and Su Buwei just now, he just wanted to wait for things to continue to ferment, they didn't fight inwardly, how could they reflect the importance of him as an emperor? Maybe this is their trade-off technique as emperors, if the trade-off of the court is broken, resulting in a dominant family, it is impossible to say that they have to stage the tyranny of their relatives since the establishment of Guangwu, this is not what Liu Hong wants to see his children appear, so it is extremely necessary to check and balance them.
However, Liu Hong and the foreign courtiers wanted to watch the play, but there were always accidents that wanted to break their wishes. A small temple man with a panicked look suddenly ran into the hall, and after coming in, he ignored the quarrel in the court, took a detour and ran directly to Zhang Rang's side, whispered a few words to Zhang Rang, and handed over a letter on his body to Zhang Rang.
The hundred officials obviously also noticed such an abnormality, although they did not understand what it meant, but they all looked at Zhang Rang, only to see that Zhang Rang listened to the message, and his face was not good, he walked quickly to the emperor's side, and after handing over the letter to Liu Hong, he hurriedly retreated aside.
Emperor Liu Hong was shocked when he saw Zhang Rang's face, and after reading the letter roughly, he was immediately angry, and he no longer had the mood to watch the play, and said directly angrily: "Edict, Bajun Taishouquan will lead his barbarian troops east to Lujiang to help on the same day, and the counties and counties along the road will prepare all the grain and grass for the Ba soldiers, and the thief will be destroyed within one month, and there must be no mistake." ”
After speaking, Liu Hong threw the letter in his hand directly into the hall, and then left the Chongde Hall without saying a word, leaving a few officials in the hall looking at each other and at a loss.
Subsequently, when the emperor left, Situ Yang Cicai dragged his old body forward to pick up the letter, opened it roughly, and saw the content in his heart, he was also shocked. The content of the letter can be summed up as follows: Huang Sui, the leader of the thieves, led tens of thousands of troops out of Jiangxia to attack Lujiang, and the soldiers of Lujiang County could not be controlled, and several counties had been lost.
This rebel thief actually wants to go south to Yangzhou, could it be that he wants to copy the momentum of Xu thief and subvert the southeast half of the Han Dynasty? No wonder Your Majesty is so angry, if Lujiang is lost, this thief will become a thief, maybe he is another Xu Zhao who will take years to pacify.
