Chapter 82: Preparing to Occupy the New Army
When he arrived at the North City Gate, Jin Liang was shocked by the shamelessness of the high-ranking officials of the Manchu Dynasty. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ο½iqugeγ info When the young emperor and Chen Liuwang were robbed and killed, they listened to the scriptures in the Taoist temple, and when the young emperor and Chen Liuwang returned safely, they flocked to it, pretending to be desperate to find a desperate escort. Jin Liang wanted to scold these guys very much, but in a blink of an eye, there are many innocent people in the world who are illiterate, and the public opinion at the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty is in the hands of this group of shameless people, and he can't offend them.
Six white horses pulled a gorgeous golden chariot across the city gate, and there was also a five-horse chariot next to it, Jin Liang knew that those Confucian ministers who took etiquette as the supreme principle had already prepared the chariots of the young emperor and King Chen Liu. Jin Liang hurriedly jumped off the sail, gently helped Liu Xie, the king of Chen Liu, off the horse, and then led him to the front of the chariot and helped him get into the chariot.
Standing near the chariot happened to be Henan Yin Wangyun, he trembled and wanted to support Liu Xie to get into the chariot, but Liu Xie was drunk: "Wang Yun, this king only needs General Jin's support, you stand back." β
The current Wang Yun is attached to Yuan Kui, the Taiwei, and was promoted to Henan Yin with the help of the Yuan family, and Liu Xie is dissatisfied with the Yuan family because of He Jin's reuse of Yuan Shao, and then he is also a little dissatisfied with Wang Yun.
Jin Liang saw Wang Yun's somewhat deflated expression, and secretly laughed in his heart. Wang Yun's loyalty was not exchanged for the same trust of Emperor Liu Xie of the Han Dynasty, in history, when Li Dao Guo Yan entered Chang'an to besiege the palace, Liu Xie did not hesitate to call Wang Yun out to confess, saying that it was Wang Yun's idea to kill Dong Zhuo. In fact, looking at Liu Xie's actions towards Cao Cao in the future, you can know what kind of guy he is, if it weren't for him, Liu Xie nodded. Does Wang Yun dare to collude with the minister privately?
Fortunately, what Jin Liang wanted to do was like Cao Cao. Even thicker than Cao Cao's politicians. So he doesn't care what kind of person Liu Xie is, in Jin Liang's eyes, he is just a chess piece. At this time, Jin Liang's conscience was also doubting, should he support this shrewd Liu Xie or the confused Liu Wei? Liu Xie is not a fuel-efficient lamp, Dong Zhuo and Li Dao, who held him hostage in that period of history, did not end well, and Cao Cao was repeatedly conspired by him to collude with ministers.
With his thoughts in mind, Jin Liang mounted his horse and urged the soldiers of the headquarters to follow behind the chariot. Head in the direction of the Royal Palace. As Guangluxun, it is his duty to protect the safety of the royal family.
Jin Liang sat on the sail, looking at Luoyang with pity, his eyes were full of desolation after the chaos in Luoyang City, recalling the vigorous and thriving scene of Luoyang when he came to Luoyang to see peonies in modern times, and couldn't help but feel a lot of emotion.
Jin Liang was sighing, but saw a palace maid coming from the side of the Queen Mother's phoenix chariot: "Xuan Jinliang is approaching." β
Jin Liang hurriedly got off the horse, handed over the sail to the guards to lead, and walked quickly to the side of the Empress Dowager He's Fengjia, and bowed slightly: "Weichen see the Empress Dowager, please forgive Weichen for being in armor." No big gifts can be given. β
Empress Dowager He's voice trembled softly: "This is an extraordinary period, how can the mourning family blame you for being rude." Aiqing, don't be restrained, the mourning family wants to say something considerate to you. β
The word Aiqing was only popular after the Tang Dynasty, and it was rarely used in the Han Dynasty.
During the Mid-Autumn Festival and August, Luoyang was still very hot, and through the bead curtain, Jin Liang could vaguely see the figure of the Empress Dowager He, because she also had to mourn her deceased husband Emperor Han Ling, so she wore a plain white silk robe.
As the saying goes, if you want to be pretty and filial, the thirty-year-old mature woman of Empress Dowager He presents a different kind of beauty in front of Jin Liang, especially under her thin silk robe, you can vaguely see a touching white jade.
Jin Liang stood straight and did not squint on the surface, but in fact, his eyes were dripping and rolling in his sockets. He suddenly had an idea, he couldn't let Dong Zhuo kill the Empress Dowager He, and he wanted to take the Empress Dowager He away from Luoyang, first, he could enjoy the little emperor's mother, and it was rare to play with the Empress Dowager, and then he wanted to use the golden sign of the Empress Dowager He to continue to envelop He Jin and He Miao's subordinates.
In addition, he really wants to try it, if he coerced the Son of Heaven to order the princes from the beginning, he supported the young emperor Liu Wei and opposed Liu Xie, who was supported by Dong Zhuo, I don't know if the world can be less chaotic?
Jin Liang didn't quite understand why Dong Zhuo had to abolish Chang Liyou, obviously Liu Wei was better controlled, maybe Dong Zhuo was too carried away, and he had to establish his prestige by abolishing the emperor.
Empress Dowager He ordered the palace maids to disperse to prevent anyone from eavesdropping, and then lowered her voice: "Aiqing, you saved the mourning family, and saved the young emperor and Chen Liuwang, such a great achievement, how do you want the mourning family to reward you?" β
Jin Liang followed the general drama: "Liangjing is loyal to the country, saving the driver is a matter of good duty, and I dare not ask for a reward." β
Seeing that Jin Liang didn't understand her intentions, Empress Dowager He lowered her voice and reprimanded: "If you don't say it, how will I announce the edict in the main hall." The mourning family still relies on you to deter those princes and ministers of the great families for the mourning family, your Guangluxun is only temporary, and then the little general Duliao is far away at the border, how can you deter them? β
Jin Liang understood Empress Dowager He's thoughts, but he didn't want to stay in the whirlpool of strife in Luoyang, thought about it a little, and decided to persuade Empress Dowager He to leave Luoyang and avoid the disasters in history, so he whispered: "Have you ever heard that in the Spring and Autumn Period, the Jin Dynasty was in turmoil, Shen Sheng was in danger inside, and he was safe outside. β
Although Empress Dowager He is the daughter of a butcher, her father He Zhen also invited a teacher to teach her the Four Books and Five Classics in order to make his daughter favored by the court, so Empress Dowager He can understand Jin Liang's words, but she still doesn't understand: "Please Aiqing make it clear, what does this have to do with the situation of the mourning family?" β
Jin Liang tried his best to infect Empress Dowager He in a heavy tone: "Weichen has received a secret report that Dong Zhuo, the former Xiliang Thorn Shi, has led 100,000 Xiliang Iron Horsemen from Mianchi to Luoyang, and there are Dong Zhuo's younger brothers, Dong Min, the commander of Fengche, and Yuan Shao, the captain of Sili, who are in Luoyang City, and they will arrive in Luoyang in two days. Dong Zhuo is the brother of the late Empress Dowager Dong, and if the Empress Dowager insists on staying in Luoyang, there may be accidents. In order to increase his convincingness, Jin Liang handed the secret letter written by Dong Min to Dong Zhuo to the palace maid next to him, and then the palace maid forwarded it to the Empress Dowager He, and at the same time told the carrier pigeon.
Empress Dowager He was very uneasy after ordering He Jinjiu to kill Empress Dowager Dong, and after hearing Jin Liang's words and seeing the secret letter, she couldn't help but be shocked: "Dong Zhuo is actually the old woman's brother?!" How could Yuan Shao respond to Dong Zhuo? β
Jin Liang told the Empress Dowager He again what he had said to Huang Zhong before, and after hearing this, the Empress Dowager He thought carefully about the behavior of the Yuan family before and after the rebellion of the Ten Standing Servants. It further confirmed the ill-intentioned intentions of the Yuan family. I can't suppress the resentment in my chest. Yuan stared at the phoenix and gritted his silver teeth: "The mourning family is going to punish Yuan Shao's nine clans!" β
Since He Jin's death, she has always felt extremely guilty, and she regrets it even more, and has always blamed herself for being so stupid and gullible for killing her eldest brother by believing in the Ten Standing Servants, and also letting herself lose her most fundamental backer, and making trouble for a long time, all of which are Yuan Shao's conspiracy.
Jin Liang hurriedly coughed. Remind the Empress Dowager He not to be too excited: "Empress Dowager, beware of the wall with ears." β
Empress Dowager He suppressed her indignation: "Aiqing, the mourning family hates Yuan Shao to death, how do you say that the mourning family can kill Yuan Shao and avenge the general!" β
Jin Liang saw that Empress Dowager He was about to fall into a kind of hysteria, and hurriedly said in a deep voice: "The Yuan family is one family, four generations and three dukes, and the protΓ©gΓ©s and former officials are all over the world, and the power is probably greater than that of the royal family. The Eighth Army of the West Garden, which was organized and trained by the first emperor, was eliminated by Yuan Shao after the captain Jian Shuo was deceived by Yuan Shao, and now Cao Cao, the captain of the military academy, and Bao Hong, the captain of the lower military academy, are all Yuan Shao's minions. Yuan Shao is also a lieutenant in Xiyuan, so he came. Yuan Shao of the Eighth Army in the West Garden mastered half of it, about 8,000 people, and Yuan Shao pretended to be a general to recruit all the affiliated forces of the Yuan family near the Beijing Division, such as the general's mansion Peng Wang Kuang summoned 3,000 strong crossbowmen from his hometown Taishan County, and Qiao Mao, the Taishou of Dongjun, led 4,000 elite soldiers, and other small groups of soldiers and horses together were afraid that there were four or five thousand. The most terrifying thing is that Dong Zhuo is a former official of the Yuan family, who has colluded with Yuan Shao and is ready to take charge of the government together, they want to abolish the young emperor and set up Chen Liuwang as the emperor. β
The Empress Dowager He is most afraid of the power of the ministers to abolish the elder and the young, and get rid of the throne of their children, when the time comes, the queen mother will not be able to do it, but she will have to worry about her life, thinking of this, she showed a fierce light, gritted her teeth and said: "The palace will kill Liu Xie's children, so that they will not be able to stand up." β
Jin Liang didn't expect this stubble, he was stunned for a moment and reacted instantly, and admonished: "The Queen Mother's words are wrong. The Queen Mother imagines, whether it is Dong Zhuo or Yuan Shao, once they are in charge of the government, with their wolf ambitions, they will definitely empty the royal family, whether it is the establishment of the Emperor and the Emperor's Association, there is no difference in front of them, they are all puppet emperors in the transitional period, and when they finish clearing out the other opponents, they will gain an inch and seek the throne, and the Queen Mother is meaningless to kill the Emperor and the Prince Association now, and it will only become an excuse for them to usurp the throne. The Queen Mother, staying in Luoyang, will be a dead end, leaving Luoyang, there will be vitality, I hope the Queen Mother will think about it. β
Empress Dowager He's face was gloomy: "It seems that this Luoyang City can't stay, so with Aiqing's words, where should I go if I leave Luoyang?" β
Jin Liang balanced the interests of all aspects in his head, and said in a deep voice: "Jizhou is the first of Kyushu, with a fertile field and a large population. Now Jizhou Shepherd Emperor Fu Song went to Liangzhou to crusade against Han Sui and the kingdom, Jizhou has no state pastor for the time being, Weichen sees that Lord Lu Zhi is brave and loyal, has no different aspirations, is both civil and military, and is famous, and now he also has the merit of saving the driver, he can be named Jizhou Mu, the Queen Mother and the Son of Heaven can temporarily grieve it, pretend to be a maid and a boy, and mix into Lu Zhi's convoy to Jizhou, away from Luoyang, a place of right and wrong. β
Empress Dowager He pondered for a while, and asked with some grievances: "Aiqing, if there is no protection from you, the mourning family will feel very unsafe, why don't you find a good position for yourself, and it is convenient to protect our mother and son." β
Jin Liang smiled slightly: "Weichen is from Jingzhou, when he goes back to Jingzhou, the Queen Mother may wish to give Jingzhou Mu to Weichen." In addition, it is hoped that the Queen Mother will entitle Weichen as the general of the expedition to the south, and govern the soldiers and horses of Jiaozhou and Jingzhou, and Weichen will subdue the Qingzhou soldiers and Nanban, and create an invincible male division for the Queen Mother to eradicate the thieves of Yuan Shao and Dong Zhuo, and wait to exterminate the group of thieves, and welcome the Queen Mother and the Son of Heaven back to Luoyang. I don't know what Her Majesty the Queen Mother wants? β
Empress Dowager He thought for a moment and nodded: "Then it will be as Qing wishes, but it is not enough to be a Jingzhou Mu and General Zhengnan, the mourning family wants to reward you with another title, Wen Hou, Wen County, Hanoi County, do you think it is good?" β
Jin Liang was overjoyed, he really didn't expect that this Empress Dowager He would be so generous in order to keep her seat, and she was busy making a grateful appearance: "Liang is deeply favored by the Empress Dowager, and he will be sincerely loyal, do his best, and die." β
Empress Dowager He smiled and said: "Aiqing, you saved the lives of our mother, and you should receive these rewards." By the way, I said that Yuan Shao only mastered half of the Eighth Army in the West Garden, what is the situation with the other half? β
Since Jin Liang entered Luoyang City, he sent many scouts to inquire about the news in the city, and just now he also asked Zhang Rang about some information, so he replied unhurriedly: "In addition to the two armies under the Beigong, Feng Fang, the right captain of the auxiliary army, is the son-in-law of Cao Jie. Captain Zuo Xia Mu is a protΓ©gΓ© of the first emperor Hongdu Sect School. Neither of them was tolerated by Yuan Shao. is only in the support of the army to protect himself, if Weichen has to follow the edict of the Queen Mother to resist Yuan Shao, then the big thing can be expected. β
Empress Dowager He nodded and said good, seeing that the two had been talking for a long time, she was afraid that Yuan Shao and his party would be suspicious, so she raised her voice: "The mourning family asked you to teach the martial arts of the Son of Heaven, you can teach it wholeheartedly, don't slack off." Let's go back! β
Yuan Shao, who was staring at the Empress Dowager's chariot not far away, listened to Empress Dowager He's words, and the doubts in his stomach instantly dissipated: "The courage of the horseman, the son of the poor family, is only worthy of being a martial artist, and An can fight with the minister of my family!" β
Cao Cao saw some clues and wanted to persuade Yuan Shao, but he knew Yuan Shao's temper, this guy was obedient on the surface, but in fact he was stubborn. I can't listen to any different opinions, because my adoptive grandfather is the eunuch Cao Teng. Therefore, without the approval of the Qing Stream of the family, he had to temporarily attach himself to the Yuan family, there was no need to offend Yuan Shao for the benefit of the Yuan family, thinking of this, Cao Cao closed his mouth tightly.
Empress Dowager He took the young emperor Liu Wei and Chen Liuwang Liu Xie back to the palace to inspect the palace, but the jade seal of the country was missing. Coupled with the turmoil of a day and a night, the mother and son met and hugged their heads and cried, so naturally they could not rise to the court immediately, so the Empress Dowager He announced that she would discuss the affairs of the court tomorrow.
Because most of the soldiers who were originally responsible for guarding the palace gate were recruited by the Ten Standing Attendants, they had been killed by Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu, and now the palace defense was empty. In order to protect the safety of the Empress Dowager, the Young Emperor and King Chen Liu, Jin Liang transferred the left and right Yulin troops led by Huang Zhong to guard the palace.
Yuan Shao, Yuan Shu and others don't seem to know that He Jin, He Miao's subordinates were incorporated by Jin Liang and killed their cousin Yuan Yin, Liu Biao, Wu Kuang, and Zhang Zhang didn't know that their subordinates were incorporated by Jin Liang, and most of the ministers followed Yuan Shao and walked towards Yuan's mansion, they probably thought that they were the center and could influence the appointment of the imperial court, and the queen mother and the young emperor were already puppets in their eyes, and the core figure of the future imperial court was Yuan Shao, who was born in the family of the fourth generation and the third prince.
Jin Liang stood outside the palace gate, coldly looking at the backs of these people in the distance, his heart was filled with bursts of murderous intentions, it was these people who made this era miserable and the people were miserable, Cao Cao had a face to write "The white bones are exposed in the wild, and there is no rooster crowing for thousands of miles." One of the hundred people, the thought of breaking people's intestines" is still slaughtering cities everywhere in Xuzhou. How could this group of high-ranking rulers really bend down to look at the lower-class people who were ruled, enslaved, and ravaged by them. The country doesn't know what's wrong, and the people who rule it are all well-dressed beasts who hurt the people, hurt the people, and don't love the people.
If these people don't die, it will be difficult for the world to be peaceful. But if you kill them, Luoyang will be in chaos first, and you can't resist Dong Zhuo and the Kwantung family forces that followed. I had to leave it for each one to be broken in the future and kill it slowly.
Just as Jin Liang was waiting for Jin Liang to bid farewell to Huang Zhong, who was defending the palace city, and was about to lead the iron horse back to the Tangzhuang dart game, a small palace maid ran out of the palace gate and handed a piece of ochre and yellow silk silk to Lu Bu: "The Queen Mother's secret decree orders you to use the military captain of the West Garden to control the Eighth Army of the West Garden, and let you quickly go to the West Garden Army to be incorporated." β
It turned out that when Empress Dowager He returned to the palace, she remembered what Jin Liang said, especially the collusion between Yuan Shao and Dong Zhuo, Dong Zhuo wanted to abolish Chang Liyu, the more she thought about it, the more scared she became, and she thought of the situation of the Xiyuan Army that Jin Liang talked about, so she moved her mind.
She can see that Jin Liang has ambitions, but the civil and military officials in this world have the ambition of not being added to the rank of knight, that is, those Guan Ning and others who have returned to seclusion and apprenticeship at home also have the ambition of Qingyu and peach and plum all over the world, the key is that Jin Liang is not controlled by her, and because of the order of the immortal master, he wants to keep the Han unharmed.
Empress Dowager He investigated Jin Liang's experience and found that he was not only a general of the Tang family, but Tang Long's righteous son and Zuo Ci's disciple. Since he was born in the Hanmen Shu clan and is a military general, in this era when the scholars of the scholar family dominate everything, Jin Liang is like a rootless Ping, all relying on himself, and he can give him power and take it back, so when she thinks about it, she is at ease.
Empress Dowager He has lived in the court for many years, but she knows everything about the government and the opposition, thanks to the fact that the Ten Standing Servants have shared an intelligence organization with her. Due to the resistance of the family, since the Han Wu Emperor began the "embroidered messenger" (similar to the Jinyi Guard) since the Eastern Han Dynasty was completely banned, similar to the later Jinyi Guard's position of the secretary of the school is mostly held by the ministers of the family, the emperor in the court and the opposition did not have the right eyes and ears to monitor those princes and ministers, with the acquiescence of Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty, the ten permanent servants established a secret agent organization called Shadow, secretly cultivated thousands of spies, distributed all over the country to spy on the secrets of officials, and there were hundreds of people who stayed in Luoyang to spy on the secrets of the ministers.
These eunuchs were simply the pawns of Emperor Han Ling against the ministers of those families in the foreign dynasties, and they had no troops, and the emperor could take away whatever he could give them, so as soon as Emperor Han Ling died, they became lost dogs, and they barely resisted decently, and they were slaughtered by Yuan Shao and others. But the secret agent organization they carefully built was hidden in the dark to serve the royal family, so it had not been noticed by Yuan Shao and others for the time being.
Empress Dowager He originally didn't pay attention to those royal spies, until Jin Liang reminded her that Dong Zhuo and Yuan Shao were going to be unfavorable to her, that she thought of starting that royal spy organization to serve her, and soon presented Jin Liang's details to the Empress Dowager.
Empress Dowager He covered her mouth and smiled: "What a lovely person." β
When she saw Jin Liang's military exploits, Empress Dowager He couldn't help but applaud.
She can have a hunch that in the court tomorrow, no one will dare to oppose moving Lu Zhi to be the pastor of Jizhou, but Shenglu Bu will be the pastor of Jingzhou and the general of Zhengnan, I am afraid that most of the ministers of the family will oppose it, and when the time comes, she will tell all these credits to see what position they can arrange.
After reading the details of Jin Liang, Empress Dowager He became more and more determined to reuse Jin Liang and rely on Jin Liang.
In addition, there was still a trace of nostalgia in her heart, she saw that Jin Liang had a trace of coveting her in her eyes, she was not angry at all, but there was a little joy in her heart.
Although she is a new widow, Emperor Han Ling has been favoring Wang Meiren in recent years, and she hasn't touched her much for many years. Although she is the queen mother, she is also a mature woman who is just thirty years old, and she is the daughter of a butcher.
Empress Dowager He usually meets some old and ugly but sanctimonious ministers of the family, even if everyone praises Yuan Shao who is outstanding, Empress Dowager He does not pay attention to it, as far as she knows, it is men who praise Yuan Shao who has a long beard and is handsome, and women's aesthetics are not the same as men's aesthetics since ancient times.
Jin Liang has always had a habit of not liking beards, and he will shave with a knife when he grows longer. It's just that he didn't expect that because he didn't have a beard, he was very different from those beautiful princes and ministers, which aroused the special interest of Empress Dowager He.
Jin Liang's somewhat unscrupulous aggressive eyes made Empress Dowager He feel particularly emotional. Empress Dowager He felt that for many years, no man had seen her as a woman.
Jin Liang was overjoyed after receiving the secret edict of the Empress Dowager He, and hurriedly led the Bingzhou Iron Cavalry back to the Xiaopingjin camp, leaving Zhang Ning to lead 2,000 people to take care of the property and defend the camp, but he himself picked up the remaining 6,000 elite cavalry, and went to meet with the five battalions of the Northern Army and He Miao under the command of Gao Shun, and then rushed to the garrison of the Eighth Army in Xiyuan.
The reason why Jin Liang lit up so many people was mainly to beware of Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu's people, originally the Eighth Army of the West Park was Yuan Shao's forbidden body, Jin Liang came to get involved, I don't know what Yuan Shao's reaction would be, bring more people just in case. (To be continued.) )
