Chapter 644: Transferring Foreign Troops to Beijing
As soon as the will to reward Fuquan came out, even if it caused an uproar in Luoyang City, not to mention that Fuquan would be named a hussar general, to some extent, he could already be on an equal footing with the general He Jin, that is, the post of Liangzhou pastor given to him was also the fourth state pastor appointment of the Han Dynasty after Liu Yan, Yuzhou Mu Huang Wan, and Youzhou Mu Liu Yu, I have to say that he is favored by His Majesty, and it also makes many people restless.
In the general's mansion, as the will was passed out of the capital by the fast horse, He Jin also knew the situation in the mansion, and hurriedly summoned his henchmen, such as Yuan Shao and others, to discuss the matter.
"Ladies and gentlemen, what is the situation of Your Majesty?" When everyone gathered, He Jin didn't go around the bend, and asked directly, and in his words, he was obviously anxious.
At this moment, He Jin was already confused in his heart, he really didn't dare to imagine how Fu Quan would lead troops into Beijing and sit on an equal footing with him, how he would help his nephew fight for the throne.
Originally, according to their ideas, it was okay if Fuquan was outside, even if the emperor was unwilling to act according to their wishes, but as long as they let Fuquan outside, once the emperor died, they could use the power of the general to force the palace with the northern and southern armies.
After all, among the Luoyang, only Jian Shuo, who has not been in charge of the army for a short time, will cause them trouble, but it is nothing, because the eight thousand elites of Xiyuan have already been divided and disintegrated by them, and even some people have become Jian Shuo's henchmen, how can such a eunuch with low means be their opponent?
However, if Fu Quan leads troops into Beijing, then all the variables will be big, even if he has just served as a hussar general, there are not as many soldiers and horses in the Beijing division as He Jin, a general, but who dares to be small Fu Quan, a young famous general who has repeatedly made military exploits, and anyone with a discerning eye can see that the emperor's move is to ensure that the crown prince Liu Chong ascends the throne safely, and with the relationship between the Fu family and the Song family, there will definitely be no mistakes in Liu Chong's accession to the throne.
But when He Jin's words fell, all the subordinates of the General's Mansion looked at each other, and then looked at the person next to He Jin, who was the current leader of the party, "the model of the world" Yuan Shao Yuan Benchu. Although he is only an official of the Great General's Mansion in his position, for most of the party members in the Great General's Mansion, to a certain extent, Yuan Shao is more worthy of their allegiance than He Jin.
Feeling everyone's gaze, Yuan Shao immediately got up and saluted He: "General Qiqi, at this time, the situation should be dangerous!" β
He Jin hurriedly asked, "How?" β
"Restore the past affairs of Duke Dou and Duke Chen, raise all the armies of the north and south, enter the palace in the name of the Qing monarch, destroy the wicked people in His Majesty's palace, and abolish the prince and establish the Marquis!"
As soon as these words came out, everyone in the hall showed different colors, it was really too early for Yuan Shao to propose this plan, they had always wanted to do it, but obviously it should not be done at this time. In Yuan Shao's words, the so-called Dou Gong and Chen Gong naturally refer to Dou Wu and Chen, and the wicked people of the Fan Palace are naturally eunuchs.
Although most of them hated the eunuchs for a long time, they didn't think that they would raise troops at this time, it was too early, and now the emperor Liu Hong has not completely died, if he detects it, the situation is not good, no one will underestimate the emperor's means of reusing the eunuchs to resolutely implement the "party power" policy left by the first emperor Huan Emperor since he ascended the throne.
Moreover, if you take 10,000 steps back, even if the emperor and eunuchs don't find out in advance, you can wait until they raise troops, if they can attack the palace gate at the beginning, it would be fine, but if they can't attack the palace gate, when the emperor and eunuchs react, their fate can only be the same as Dou Wu and Chen Fan at that time.
"At the beginning, this was wrong, but now the situation, so that the previous achievements will be wasted, Your Majesty is here, this plan must be in case, and it must not be done." He Jin naturally understood it, he knew that the risk was very high, and it was easy to repeat the mistakes of the past, so he immediately refused. Of course, he didn't say anything to death, if it really came to the point of necessity, He Jin would definitely not mind taking risks for the sake of power, for the sake of "Shihou" Liu Bian's accession to the throne, and for the wealth of the He family, but it is obvious that it is not yet to the point where he has to choose this way.
Seeing He Jin's refusal, Yuan Shao did not show dissatisfaction, but replied: "General, when you are constantly interrupted, you will suffer from it!" If Fuquan enters Beijing, I am afraid that the general will be able to transfer half of the soldiers and horses of the Beijing Division, which will be a blessing! β
"Yes...... But if the soldiers are raised, if the soldiers of Luoyang are like the soldiers of Dou Gong and Chen Gong, what should they be? He Jin's face changed, he understood Yuan Shao's concern, indeed, Fuquan entered Beijing, how many people in this Luoyang soldier would abandon him, a general, and go to Fuquan, the cousin of Liu Chong, the crown prince who was obviously the most promising to ascend the throne, and he knew that if they had trouble again, the daylily would really be cold.
In this way, now for He Jin, it is really not advancing, nor is it retreating, and it is a dilemma. He doesn't mind that these officials under his command want to kill all the eunuchs in the palace, as long as the "Shihou" Liu Wei can be enthroned, the He family can be prosperous and rich, and he can make He Jin a powerful minister who is the sole center of the Han Dynasty.
Seeing He Jin's face, Yuan Shao smiled coldly in his heart, and then saluted: "What the general is worried about is nothing more than the disloyalty of the soldiers and horses of the Beijing Division, but if all the soldiers and horses are loyal to the general, how can he restore the past affairs of Duke Dou and Duke Chen?" β
Hearing this, He Jin wondered: "What did you mean by what you said at the beginning?" β
Yuan Shao replied: "The general can summon heroes from all over the world, bring troops to Beijing, sweep the king's side, punish the eunuchs, and support the 'Shihou' to determine the world." β
When the words fell, He Jin's subordinate Chen Lin hurriedly looked shocked and stopped: "Don't!" Since ancient times, foreign soldiers have entered Beijing, there are many disasters, if the foreign generals are loyal to the Han family, if they have different intentions, they are afraid that they will invade the capital and bring disaster to the world. What's more, the matter of Wang Wenzu is close at hand, if foreign soldiers are recruited, the matter will be revealed, and I expect that this matter will be defeated, at that time, how will the general deal with himself? Acting like this is the so-called rebellion, giving people a handle, and the success will not be achieved, and it will cause chaos! β
Chen Lin's words were reasonable, and they immediately made everyone present look sideways, but they didn't say that they didn't see the consequences of Yuan Shao's proposal to release foreign troops into Beijing, but because of Yuan Shao's identity, they didn't say anything to refute it, because they knew Yuan Shao well, and they didn't understand what this party leader was thinking. Of course, it's not that no one really sees what Yuan Shao is going to do, it's just that some people see it but don't say it at all, compared to how Hao and Xu You, Yuan Shao's henchmen.
As for what Chen Lin said, the most important thing is the current situation, if He Jin recruits troops into Beijing with such fanfare, then what does he think of the emperor who is still recuperating in the palace? To a certain extent, He Jin did this is really the same as the rebellion of Wang Fen Wang Wenzu in Jizhou last year, you need to know that the emperor is not dead, He Jin fell into Beijing like this, once there is a slight mistake and the news is leaked, wouldn't it be to give the handle to others, and there is a possibility that it will fall short.
However, others may not dare to speak out because of Yuan Shao's status in the party, but Chen Liu is different, and his words also made Yuan Shao's face change, but he was good at forbearance and hid it in his heart and did not show it.
However, Yuan Shao did not show it, but it did not mean that he would tolerate others to sabotage his plan, but Yuan Shao replied: "Extraordinary things must be done in extraordinary ways!" If the general gives over the good situation to others at this time, and Fuquan takes power in the future, we can still stay in the court and become a minister in the court, but where is the general? Dare to ask the general, would you like this? β
The lobby was suddenly very quiet, Yuan Shao's words were like forcing the palace, although most of the people present did not feel that things had reached such a point of death, but since Yuan Shao was the leader of the party, there must be a reason for acting like this, and because of his status and status, he did not say anything to dissuade him.
He Jin was also provoked by Yuan Shao, and he may have a premonition of the worst situation at the moment, and perhaps he also understood the horror of Fuquan's entry into Beijing, so he no longer hesitated and said: "Just follow the original plan." β
"The general is wise!"
"The general is wise!"
"The general is wise!"
β¦β¦
After he finished speaking, the other party members present also came out to echo this, although they didn't understand what Yuan Shao meant, but out of trust, they naturally did not hesitate to echo Yuan Shao.
After that, everyone began to discuss the candidates for the transfer of troops, because they thought that Fuquan since he came out, he had repeatedly made military exploits, and there were many protΓ©gΓ©s in the army, once he ordered the troops, and then there was the orthodox name of the crown prince Liu Chong, and then he would inevitably follow the clouds, so there must be two requirements for recruiting troops into Beijing, one is to be trustworthy, and the other is to have the loyalty of his soldiers and horses.
Therefore, after some discussion, everyone decided to proceed in two steps, one of which was to send a messenger secretly to send a private message to Ding Yuan, Huang Wan, Yuzhou, and Dong Zhuo, the commander of Xihe County, in the name of the general, so that they and others could bring their own soldiers and quickly enter the essence; The second is to let He Jin's cronies, such as Lu Bu, Zhang Yang and others, go back to their hometowns to recruit troops, and then lead troops back to Beijing to help them with their work.
Ding Yuan, Huang Wan and other feudal officials are all important personnel of the party, or former officials of the Yuan family, and generals such as Lu Bu and Zhang Yang are all generals whom He Jin fancied and promoted all the way, and they are all trustworthy people. Moreover, the soldiers and horses they brought were all soldiers and horses of the Beijing division of Luoyang, and when they were brought into the central government, they would definitely not be influenced by the emperor and eunuchs like the two armies of the north and south, and they were obviously loyal to their own Taishou, envoys, and generals, more than the central court, which was also an important basis for He Jin and Yuan Shao to complete this plot.
After some planning, everyone in the General's Mansion immediately left the lobby, and then followed Yuan Shao behind him and went to Yuan Shao's mansion, where they had many questions to ask.
When they arrived at Yuan Shao's mansion, many people who did not know Yuan Shao's plot asked Yuan Shao why he had to take things to the worst. After all, even if Fuquan is really in power, Liu Chong takes advantage of the situation to ascend the throne, and He Jin and Liu Wei they support fail, but it will not let them lose anything, it is a big deal to stabilize for a few years, and then plot, can the imperial court still not need them to be officials?
Yuan Shao did not hide this, but was very jealous: "Fuquan enters Beijing, who can control it?" If he is in power, we will be junior and medium-sized officials in the DPRK, and there is no place for us in the center, and only by striking first can we continue to move the party from the power of the party in the DPRK and the central government! β
These words, like an initiation, immediately made those party members who didn't think it clear understand, indeed, judging from Fuquan's mood of not having a deep friendship with the party members, if Liu Chong was really allowed to ascend the throne smoothly, and Fuquan would therefore control the center, they would obviously lose power because of the party's alliance with He Jin.
The so-called once a son of heaven and a courtier, not to mention those party members who have never supported Liu Chong from the beginning, only supported Liu Bian, in other words, they are Liu Chong, no matter how young Liu Chong is, he naturally understands how to act. Obviously, those of them who did not support Liu Chong before his accession to the throne will definitely be beaten into the cold palace later, and it is even very likely that the newly appointed little emperor will listen to the words of other eunuchs and have another party rebellion, which they do not want to see at all.
At the moment, everyone praised Yuan Shao's wisdom, and at the same time it was a burst of angry reprimands, scolding the eunuchs and beheading, the Fu family and the Song family had no way, and they were not enough to be in charge of the government.
Looking at these people in front of him who didn't really understand their plans, Yuan Shao sneered in his heart, did they think that just letting the eunuchs clean up was his purpose?
Obviously, it is impossible, his purpose of Yuan Shao is by no means limited to this.
His father-in-law's family was ruined by the "party system", and he had a good life, so he could only take refuge at home with filial piety, if it was just to sweep away the eunuchs, how could he eliminate the hatred in his heart?
After all, the initiator of all this is Liu Han's emperor, who has a debtor and a master, and the eunuch is only his interest, and Liu Han's world is the blood debt he wants to recover.
Otherwise, why did he Yuan Shao endure it for so long, hoarding so many forces, he just needed to wait for the limelight to pass, relying on the strength of the Runan Yuan clan as the first gate lord today, even if he was a member of the party, would the imperial court really not give him an official?
Yuan Shao is so forbearing, not for the sake of the identity of the leader of the party and the model of the world, but for the usefulness of this identity and name, naturally in order to become a weapon for his rise at the right opportunity. After all, once there is a crisis in the world, no matter where his name goes, as long as there is a force, it will definitely be overwhelming, invincible, all the talented and wise men will return, and the servants will be like clouds, which is the reason why he laid out very early.
After two "party disasters" to suppress it, Yuan Shao knew that the family and the Han royal family had long been centrifuged, but the Han clan used Confucianism to inherit the family and raise hope, directly confronting the imperial power, and in the "loyalty, filial piety" This pass on its ideology can not pass, so the eunuch group relying on the imperial power can always gain the upper hand, otherwise, once all the scholars are united, what will happen to the Liu Han royal family?
Therefore, Yuan Shao needs to create an opportunity, to create an opportunity for the imperial power to have nowhere to rely on but their scholars, and this time the entry of foreign troops into Beijing is an opportunity to completely wipe out the eunuch group. Of course, not only the eunuchs, but also the foreign relatives group that also relies on the royal family, is also within his plan, he wants to completely bury the imperial power of the Han family supported by the two pillars of the early foreign relatives group and the eunuch group.
In the depths of the night, the messenger of the General's Mansion had just left Beijing with He Jin's letter, and in the suburbs of Luoyang, the servants of the Marquis Mansion had already lit three flying lanterns made of Fuquan and let them ascend to heaven.
And with the ascension of these three lanterns to the sky, soon, from the Sili area to the west of Hongnong County, Jing Zhaoyi, Zuo Fengyi, Right Fufeng and other places, there were people who lit three flying lanterns one after another, and it was not lively for a while.
An army stationed in Longguan, east of Hanyang County, Liangzhou, soon noticed the movement in the east, and hurriedly notified Shi Fuquan, who had already led troops here. When Fuquan saw those lanterns, he did not hesitate at the moment, and ordered the 20,000 soldiers who had been prepared to enter Beijing, but of course, the division had to be famous, although Fuquan did not know what name the Luoyang side sought for himself, but for the sake of insurance, he played in the name of entering Beijing by the will of the queen.
