Emperor Ling suddenly asked like this, and Jiang Sheng didn't dare to answer. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
If Jiang Sheng said that he was intentional, Emperor Ling would definitely push the boat with the flow: give marriage; If it is said that it is unintentional, then it will really hurt Liu Qian, he is not unintentional, this is still the crime of bullying the king.
"Jiang Sheng! Why don't you answer me? β
"Your Majesty, it's time for you to go back to the palace to take medicine, and the ministers will help you go back." Jiang Sheng changed the subject.
"You haven't answered my question yet, do you have affection for Princess Wannian?"
Jiang Sheng sighed, but still didn't answer, the Spirit Emperor was annoyed and brushed his sleeves away, leaving Jiang Sheng stupidly to stay where he was.
At the end of March, the typhoid fever in the palace was effectively controlled, and Emperor Ling got better, but after the already weak Emperor Ling recovered from a serious illness, his health was not optimistic, and history recorded that Emperor Ling died in March 189, and now there is still a year to go. Jiang Sheng had already felt a premonition of a crisis, and his current strength was still difficult to be a prince independently.
In the early dynasty, Jiang Sheng also followed the court, which was requested by Emperor Ling.
"Ladies and gentlemen, do you have anything to report?" Emperor Ling asked.
Taichang Liu Yan came out of the class and said: "Your Majesty, the world is constantly fighting, the more chaotic it becomes, the army is fighting separately, and the material supply is difficult to continue. The minister thought that to solve this situation, only those who concentrated military and political power in loyalty and righteousness could guard all sides. β
Emperor Ling said: "Then who do you think is available?" β
Liu Yan said: "Resetting the state pastor, and removing it with Lieqing and Shangshu, can gather the military and material resources of a state."
Emperor Ling said: "Do you think so? β
Zongzheng Liu Yu said: "This law is very wonderful, and the minister seconded it." β
There are also many ministers who agree with Liu Yan's statement, and they all express their positions, it seems that Liu Yan has done his work a long time ago.
Emperor Ling said: "Okay, I'm going to play, I don't know if you have a candidate for the state pastor?" β
Liu Yan said: "Yizhou Thorn Shi Jian gathered in Yizhou, greed became a trend, and the people were very angry. β
"Zhun Song, I order you to be the envoy of the prison army, the pastor of Yizhou, the marquis of Fengyang, go to Yizhou to arrest Xi Jian, and severely punish him."
Liu Yu said: "Youzhou thieves are everywhere, because the local governor does not know how to soothe, the minister appeased Siyi when he was in Youzhou, and he has a lot of experience, and he is willing to guard Youzhou for the emperor." β
"Zhun Song, Youzhou borders with foreign races, and you must bring Tianwei to appease Siyi."
Zhang Rang and the other ten permanent servants saw that the situation was not right, these ministers all wanted to go out and take over the power of a state, can they still have their ten permanent servants in the future?
Zhang Rang said: "Your Majesty, don't do it!" How can the thirteen states in the world be under the control of thirteen people? The supremacy of imperial power will allow the subjects to tear up the soil and seal the marquis? β
Liu Yan said: "Zhang Changshou can't help but make a fuss, we are waiting for the shepherd to guard the party, and we are also loyal to the emperor, how dare we tear the soil and seal the marquis?" Today, there are many wars and chaos, and you have lived in the deep palace for a long time, how can you know the world? β
Emperor Ling said: "Zhang Aiqing, what you say is too often reasonable, there is no need to say more. β
It seems that these ministers have already discussed, they are all self-recommended, Emperor Ling originally wanted to give Jiang Sheng a chance, but seeing that the qualifications of the self-recommended ministers are older than Jiang Sheng, and their reputation is also good, thinking of Jiang Sheng's words of "step by step, walk steadily", he did not let Jiang Sheng serve as the state pastor, but allowed the ministers to play.
In the end, it was decided that Youzhou Mu Liu Yu, Jizhou Mu Han Fu, Yuzhou Mu Huang Wan, Qingzhou Mu Jiaohe, Yanzhou Mu Liu Dai, Xuzhou Mu Taoqian, Bingzhou Mu Ding Yuan, Yangzhou Mu Chen Wen, Jingzhou Mu Wang Rong, Liangzhou Mu Dong Zhuo, Yizhou Mu Liu Yan, etc., went to various states to perform their duties.
Emperor Ling praised Jiang Sheng's merits, worshiped Jiang Sheng as the general of Dongzhonglang, and was crowned as the marquis of the capital, with 300 households, and Lingle An was too obedient.
In this typhoid turmoil, Jiang Sheng was kind to the ten permanent servants, and other court officials also supported Jiang Sheng because of Zhen Yan's dots, so surprisingly there was no objection, and the matter was settled.
After retiring from the dynasty, Emperor Ling summoned Jiang Sheng to the imperial study to meet him.
When Jiang Sheng arrived at the imperial study, he found that Liu Qian was also there.
"Wechen knocks to see the emperor and Her Royal Highness the princess." Jiang Sheng bowed according to the system.
"Let's get flat!" The Spirit Emperor said coldly.
"Emperor Xie!" Jiang Sheng stood up, but he lowered his head, not daring to face Liu Qian's resentful eyes.
"Jiang Sheng, you haven't answered the question I asked a few days ago, and now in front of the princess, you give me a clear answer." Emperor Ling was very unhappy, it was a matter of royal face, he would definitely not ask Jiang Sheng if he wanted a princess, he could continue to let Jiang Sheng answer, it was already enough to give face.
"It is a great blessing for the minister to be favored by the princess, but Weichen already has a wife and three rooms, so he really doesn't dare to delay the princess."
"Jiang Sheng! You-I don't care how many wives you have, I just want to be with you, what are you delaying? I've been in love with you for a long time, can't you see it? A few days ago, we spent the moon together, how happy were we in our hearts? Have you forgotten? Liu Qian said with a crying voice, her face was already full of tears.
"Please forgive the princess! Weichen really found it difficult to accept the princess's affection. Jiang Sheng ruthlessly refused.
"Jiang Sheng! From this day onwards, I will take back your title. Let's go! I don't want to see you again! Emperor Ling said with his back to Jiang Sheng.
"Wechen retires!" Jiang Sheng lowered his head and retreated, then turned around and left, now it's okay, the duxiang marquis who has just been crowned has not yet been hot, so he will go to the end, and now he doesn't even have a title.
"Jiang Shengβ" Liu Qian ran out of the imperial study, crying and shouting, but Jiang Sheng never looked back.
Jiang Sheng's face was full of tears, and he only hated this evil etiquette, but he didn't expect that he had a three-room wife who also owed it to this evil etiquette.
The capital was no longer good, and Jiang Sheng had no choice but to go back to Le'an, and he came back at the right time.
In April, the Qingzhou Yellow Turban rose again, Bian Xi and Zhenggu were mainly based on Zhang Ning, and more than 50,000 people were collected from the remnants of the Yellow Turban in Jizhou, Qingzhou and Yanzhou, and captured Shouguang and Yixian with a sudden momentum, and the prestige was great.
Yang Feng ordered Yu Ban, Deng Mao, Zhang He, and Xiahou Lan to lead 5,000 Le'an garrisons to 50 miles northwest of Yixian County to resist the rebellious army, and they were defeated and retreated one after another for several days, losing nearly 1,000 people.
After Jiang Sheng returned to the Taishou Mansion in Linji County, Yang Feng reported the recent battle situation in detail and made a repeated accusation. Jiang Sheng has such a small family background, and he has suffered such a heavy loss, how can he not feel distressed, but he can't blame Yang Feng and them.
The Yellow Turban Army was already gathered together with strong beliefs, and Zhang Ning was the only successor of Zhang Jiao, so the appeal was very good, plus the Qingzhou Yellow Turban was already fierce and the troops were sufficient, so it would be good if Yu Ban and others could keep 4,000 people.
Jiang Sheng personally came to the front line of Yixian County to take command, Zhang Ning was the person he was looking for, since she was here, he had to persuade her to say anything.
Bian Xi led 20,000 yellow turbans to rush over, while Jiang Sheng only had 4,000 people, but fortunately, these 4,000 people were cavalry, and they were not too bad. Jiang Sheng ordered Zhang He and Xiahou Lan to lead 2,000 horsemen to dismount and arrange defenses, set up obstacles with grain carts, tree branches and other objects, and shot the enemy with bows and arrows behind the obstacles, while he, Yu Ban, and Deng Mao led 2,000 horsemen to attack Bian Xibu from the flanks.
