Chapter 89: The Early Dynasty (3)

Yuan Kui was a little discouraged, so he asked, "Who does the Queen Mother want?" ”

Empress Dowager He ran out of ideas, so she asked Lu Zhi: "Duke Lu, what good candidate do you have?" ”

Lu Zhi thought for a while, and then recommended his friend Zhu Jun: "The former servant Zhu Jun returned home because of his mother's funeral, and now he is about to finish his filial piety, so he can be ordered to return to the court as soon as possible and take up the post of ruling Jinwu." Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 infoIn recent days, I have been given the holy decree of the Empress Dowager to temporarily take the position of Jinwu, and when Zhu Jun returns to the court, I will hand him over. ”

When Yuan Kui heard that Zhu Jun, the famous general who had exterminated the Yellow Turban, had come to serve as the ruling Jinwu, he had nothing to say and returned to the class.

Now it's Jin Liang's turn to recommend his men.

Jin Liang stepped forward and said: "Lord Ding's new funeral, the position of the cavalry lieutenant is vacant, and the general Gao Shun and Gao Zhongping under the command of Lord Ding have made great contributions in chasing down the eunuchs and welcoming back the emperor Chen Liuwang. ”

Without waiting for those ministers to object, Empress Dowager He quickly nodded: "Zhun Qing played, Feng Gaoshun was named the captain of the cavalry." ”

Jin Liang said again: "Gao obedient Hu Ben Zhonglang will be transferred to the captain, Hu Ben Zhonglang will be suspended, and Wei Chen recommends the hero building owner Wang Yue Wang to retire to take on this position." Wang Yue is the first swordsman in the sea, known as the great sword master, ten years ago he entered Helan Mountain with a single sword to assassinate the leader of the Qiang tribe, so that my Han army won without a fight, Wang Yue returned to Beijing to report his gong but was blocked by the ten permanent servants. The micro-minister hopes that the queen mother will be aware of it, and he must not let the meritorious ministers chill. ”

Speaking of Wang Yue, he is actually one of the offerings of the Tang Family Dart Bureau, this time Jin Liang entered the palace and Tang Long asked Wang Yue to take care of one or two. Jin Liang took a fancy to Wang Yue's swordsmanship and was ready to use it for his own use, so he brought it in the early dynasty this time. Of course, there is also this figure in history.

Empress Dowager He instructed Wang Yue to come forward and listen to the seal: "The first emperor also knows your name, and wants to reuse you, how can you come from a poor background, some ministers said in front of the first emperor that you are rough and uninhibited by nature and difficult to take on a big job, the first emperor has no choice but to abandon you, but fortunately, there is a mourning family to make up for this regret for the first emperor, so he will play from General Jin and make you a tiger general." ”

When it came to some ministers, Empress Dowager He glanced at Yuan Kui lightly, and Wang Yue's eyes were keen. Keep this scene in your heart and make up your mind. Sooner or later, we will surely avenge this suppression.

Yuan Kui took a step forward, his neck flushed, and he accused loudly: "I don't know what kind of mistake Yuan Shu made, the Queen Mother took Yuan Shu's Tiger Ben Zhonglang out of the position for no reason?" ”

Empress Dowager He was very dissatisfied with Yuan Kui's domineering appearance, coughed lightly, twisted her face, and did not answer.

Yuan Kui originally thought that his Yuan family was enough to control the government, but he didn't expect that he was far from being able to do what he said, and the Empress Dowager He had firmly grasped the palace guard monk Shutai, and his original plan was all disrupted, so he was a little angry and lost his etiquette in front of the Empress Dowager He.

Yuan Kui turned his head and asked Lu Zhi: "What does Shangshutai eat?" How could he allow the power of the hero who exterminated the traitorous eunuch to be replaced by a rude martial artist? How dare such an edict be issued? ”

Wang Yue couldn't help but be angry when he heard Yuan Kui say this, if there was no Jin Liang's eyes to stop him, I am afraid that he would have pulled out his sword and beheaded Yuan Kui.

Lu Zhi was also angered by Yuan Kui's rude words, and his voice, which was originally like Hong Zhong, became even louder, resounding throughout the Chongde Palace: "Lu Zhi is in charge of Shangshutai, and he only knows how to be loyal to the emperor's orders, and he does not dare to obey the chaos of the ministers. Lord Taifu should also abide by the emperor's orders, and should not bully the queen mother and the Son of Heaven when the first emperor died before his bones were cold. ”

In addition to being a great Confucian and military strategist at home, Lu Zhi is also a political master who has been in officialdom for a long time, and his big hat was buttoned down, and Yuan Kui, who relied on his father and brother and had always had a smooth career, turned pale with shock, and he didn't know how to deal with it, so he had to kneel down and kowtow to ask the Queen Mother for forgiveness.

Empress Dowager He smiled contemptuously: "Taifu, please get up, the mourning family previously moved Yuan Shu to Nanyang Taishou, Nanyang County is the land of Longxing, the first county in the world, with a million household registrations. ”

Yuan Kui saw that his side had made some bamboo baskets empty, but he couldn't let Yuan Shu fall from Tiger Ben Zhonglang to a white body, so he looked at Yuan Shu and signaled him to give in.

Yuan Shu had no choice but to step forward and kneel: "Weichen is willing to lead Nanyang Taishou's duties." ”

Empress Dowager He is not good at offending the Yuan family to death, and she is unwilling to change the edict again, she has now faintly realized that the repeated refusal to appoint by Yuan Shao's party just now has greatly damaged the imperial authority, so she motioned to Jin Liang with her eyes to come up with an idea.

Jin Liang received the hint from the Empress Dowager He, so he stepped forward and said respectfully: "Lord Yuan Kui is the prince, and the duty of assisting the Son of Heaven is great, so he must not be distracted. ”

Empress Dowager He couldn't help but laugh out loud, Jin Liang was so funny, he obviously let the uncle and nephew of the Yuan family get nothing, and he also put on a righteous appearance. Seeing Empress Dowager He's expression, Jin Liang knew that she would be wrong, so he admonished again: "Yuan Highway is a talent of thousands of miles, and the post of general should be at ease, and the minister recommended him to be the official of Nanyang Taishou." ”

Empress Dowager He was stunned for a moment, and was about to refute it, but saw Jin Liang wink at her slightly, knowing that Jin Liang must have subtle considerations for recommending this, so she nodded and agreed.

Jin Liang continued to speak: "Yuan Shao, Yuan Shu, and Wang Yun forbade the slaughter of eunuchs in the Horse Palace, and they have made great contributions, but there is no reward, and the ministers are afraid that the people of the government and the opposition will not be convinced, and the ministers are willing to ask for the title for the three loyal ministers, and ask the Queen Mother to seal Yuan Shao as the Marquis of Jiangting, Yuan Shu as the Marquis of Daoting, and Wang Yun as the Marquis of Shen Ting, with the heart of a loyal minister." ”

Yuan Kui, Yuan Shao, Yuan Shu, Wang Yun and others were dumbfounded, they didn't expect that Jin Liang, who was originally fighting against them, would suddenly change his tone and ask for them to be sealed. They didn't know what Jin Liang was scheming about, and Jin Liang didn't want to offend them excessively, and wanted to use them to deal with the behemoth Dong Zhuo.

Empress Dowager He soon understood Jin Liang's good intentions. I thought it was just three pavilions. and all in Runan County, the Yuan family's sphere of influence. It is equivalent to letting Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu eat themselves, so they readily agreed. Empress Dowager He saw the twists and turns of the reward for Jin Liang, and knew that many Qingliu ministers were very dissatisfied with Jin Liang's sudden rise to the throne, so she decided to suspend the title of Jin Liang, and the name of Marquis Wen was estimated to take effect later. Although the position of general Zhennan is higher than that of Jiuqing, Jin Liang still feels that this general's position is too small. According to the Eastern Han Dynasty system, only those who are in the same position can open the government, and only the government can appoint subordinate officers on its own. There were four generals in the Han Dynasty: the general, the hussar general, the chariot general, and the Wei general. Under these four generals, there are also four general generals (before and after, left and right generals), four Zheng generals, and then Zhendong, Zhenxi, Zhenbei, and then it is the turn of Jin Liang, the general of Zhennan.

The little general Zhennan was far from qualified to open the three divisions of the Fuyi Tong, but Jin Liang knew that this day would not be far away. Jin Liang handed the seal that had already been prepared to Xun You, the squire of the Yellow Gate, and Xun You handed it to the Empress Dowager He.

Empress Dowager He glanced at it, it was Jin Liang who applied for the promotion of officials to the meritorious ministers under his command, since he had to rely on him to fight against Yuan Shao, Dong Zhuo and others, it was not good to be stingy with rewards, so he ordered Lu Zhi to draw up an edict. All will be rewarded. Lu Zhi waved his pen and stamped the seal of the Queen Mother. After the Edict came into force. Zhang Ren, Zhang Liao, Wei Xu, Song Xian, and Cheng Lian were all captains, and Xue Lan, Li Feng, Qin Yi, Chen Wei, Zhang Ning and others were all captains. Huang Zhong's Yubayashi Zhonglang will also be officially recognized by the edict and continue to take office. Xia Mu and Feng Fang's positions as captains of the West Garden remain unchanged, and they will be adjusted after they arrive in Jingzhou.

Yuan Shao and others were recommended by Jin Liang to be crowned marquis, and it was not easy to come out to oppose the appointment of Jin Liang's subordinates for a while, so Jin Liang successfully applied to the Queen Mother for the title and strengthened his position in the hearts of the soldiers of Bingzhou.

Jin Liang got what he wanted, and looked at Xun You, the waiter of the Yellow Gate, who was standing respectfully next to the young emperor Liu Wei, and then looked at Xun Yu, who was not far away to write an edict for Lu Zhi and sharpen ink, and his heart became more and more happy, these two Wang Zuozhicai have been taken by themselves, they will not be able to escape from their own palms, and they will be used for their own purposes, and then their imperial hegemony will be easier to complete. During the Han Dynasty and the Han Dynasty, the palace gate was mostly painted yellow, so it was called the Yellow Gate. Xun You, the Yellow Gate Servant, is a Lang official who specializes in serving the emperor in the palace, responsible for conveying the edict and guiding the princes and ministers to meet the emperor. According to the Han system, eunuchs such as Xiaohuangmen are only worthy of miscellaneous work, while Huangmen squires are the emperor's secretaries, and those who are not knowledgeable are not competent. But the emperor of the Eastern Han Dynasty liked to use eunuchs to fight against the ministers of foreign dynasties, so the eunuchs became so powerful that Xiao Huangmen dared to frame Lu Zhi. Xun Yu served as the palace guard order under the Shaofu, in charge of the royal family used in the paper, pen and ink, as well as the books of the financial use, sealing mud, but also a person who read poetry and books can do things. Undoubtedly, this palace life had a great impact on Xun Yu's uncle and nephew, close to the center, and had the opportunity to understand the world through various central information dissemination, many years later, Xun Yu became a strategist, and Xun Yu became a tactician.

Xun Yu's uncle and nephew are both Wang Zuozhicai, Xun Yu is comparable to Xiao He in the early Han Dynasty, and Xun Yu is comparable to Zhang Liang in the early Han Dynasty. The so-called "Wolong and Phoenix Chicks can settle the world by one person" are all advertising words given by Sima Hui to his apprentices, and Liu Bei got both of them, but he could only favor Xishu. Xun Yu's uncle and nephew are closer to "having one person to settle the world", and Cao Cao can control and occupy the entire north if he gets these two people. Later, although it was said that the world was divided into three, the population of the Eastern Wu territory was only half of that of Cao Wei, and the population of Shu Han was less than a quarter of that of Cao Wei. Sima's ability to unify the Three Kingdoms mostly relied on the foundation laid by Cao Cao.

Jin Liang couldn't wait to pull the two of them immediately, and said, "My Xiao He! My son's room! The ovary is Zhang Liang's character, but he couldn't find Xiao He's word in the classics, so he had to call him by his name.

Jin Liang knew that these two people were in the palace, so he wanted to talk to these two talents in private first, and then ask the Queen Mother for someone, the Queen Mother was obedient to Jin Liang and would not let go, the key was whether these two talents took a fancy to themselves. In the era of good birds and trees, Jin Liang always thought that he was a sycamore and could attract a phoenix. Anyway, Xun Yu and the others turned a blind eye to Jin Liang's thirsty expression. Xun Yu stood behind Shang Shuling Lu Zhi and sharpened the ink, as if he was touching gold, and was engrossed. Xun You stood next to Liu Weilong's chair, looking at his nose and nose, like a puppet.

After retreating, Jin Liang guarded the palace gate to prepare to greet the two Mr. Xun, and waited for half an hour without a trace. Just as Jin Liang wanted to go to Xun Yu's house to find the two of them, he saw Empress Dowager He's henchman and palace maid beckoning to him in the palace, and Huang Zhong did not stop him when he saw this. Jin Liang entered the palace and had a secret conversation with the Empress Dowager He again.

Empress Dowager He wanted to discuss with Jin Liang how to deceive Dong Zhuo, Yuan Shao and others to successfully escape from Luoyang. Originally, Jin Liang was going to discuss this matter with Empress Dowager He as soon as possible. How could he be full of thoughts about recruiting talents for a while, and suddenly forgot to talk to Empress Dowager He about such an important matter. Lu Zhi hadn't left the palace yet, so Jin Liang summed it up with the two of them.

After a total of half an hour, Lu Zhi, who is skilled in the art of war, has always advocated being an upright person, and can't think of any tricks.

Jin Liang looked at the furnishings of the palace and suddenly remembered an incident that happened during the Song Dynasty. used that allusion to give Empress Dowager He a plan to move flowers and trees. This trick of transferring flowers and trees can deceive Dong Zhuo and Yuan Shao for a while, and it can be regarded as the basis for the original plan to persuade Empress Dowager He and the Young Emperor to pretend to be maids and boys to avoid Jingzhou.

Empress Dowager He and Lu Zhi were overjoyed when they heard this, and ordered Jin Liang to take full responsibility for the plan to move flowers and trees. Jin Liang took the order, went out of the Chongde Palace, searched all over the palace, and couldn't find the shadow of Xun Yu's uncle and nephew.

When he arrived at the palace gate, Jin Liang asked Huang Zhong, who was here at work: "Hansheng, have you ever seen Uncle Xun Yu?" ”

Huang Zhong calculated slightly: "About an hour ago." Xun Yu, Xun Yu, Zhong Xuan, and Hua Xin walked together and hurriedly left the palace. ”

Lu Bu calculated. At that time, he was discussing with Empress Dowager He and Lu Zhi how to get out of Luoyang City smoothly, but he didn't expect Xun Yu's uncle and nephew to leave. Wait, Zhong Xuan?! Hua Xin?! These two three dukes of the Cao Wei period are also here.

Jin Liang thought for a while, the two Shang Shulang standing behind Lu Zhi seemed to be surnamed Zhong and Hua, although both of them had a beautiful beard, they looked very young, which was completely different from the scheming appearance in history, Jin Liang focused on Xun Yu's uncle and nephew, but forgot about these two masters of internal affairs. Especially Zhong Xuan, the military and political books are very slippery, needless to say politically, militarily he guards Jingzhao Chang'an, Ma Teng has always been very obedient, his image in the official history is much more magnificent than the Romance of the Three Kingdoms.

When Jin Liang heard that these four great talents were here, his heart blossomed, if he could get these four guys, the future Cao Wei regime would be one-third of his own hands, and Cao Cao would lose at least one arm.

With great anticipation and extreme joy, Jin Liang led the Chizhong Guards to Xun Yu's house. When he arrived at Xun Yu's house, the servant reported that Xun Yu had not yet arrived home, so Jin Liang waited at the door of Xun Yu's house for an hour, but still did not see Xun Yu's figure. Jin Liang took people to Xun You's house again, and after waiting for an hour, he still didn't see the figures of the four future pillars.

Just as Jin Liang was pacing in front of Xun Youmen, Hu Ben Zhonglang rushed Wang Yue to the horse.

Wang Yue had anger on his face: "Xun Yu and the four of them have already gone to Taifu Yuan Kui's mansion, so you don't have to wait." ”

Jin Liang was stunned for a moment, his heart suddenly became cold, and he hurriedly stepped forward and asked, "Where did you know?" ”

Wang Yue pointed to a young man behind him: "My apprentice Shi A saw it with his own eyes. ”

Shi Ah is not amazing, but he has a fierce temperament, the whole person is like a sharp sword out of the sheath, sharp and powerful, it seems that although his skills are amazing, but he is far from reaching the realm of his master's return to the basics.

Shi A didn't wait for Jin Liang to ask, jumped off the horse, saluted Jin Liang, and said to himself: "Master looked at the demeanor of Xun Yu and the four people in the court, and knew that they had a problem with adults in their hearts. ”

Hearing this, Jin Liang felt an inexplicable melancholy in his heart, although Empress Dowager He defended herself in the court, but in the eyes of those children of the family, his background may not be as good as Cao Cao, the mutated grandson of the eunuch Cao Teng, and far inferior to Yuan Shao, the third prince of the fourth world, but what can he Jin Liang do? Blame yourself for not being reincarnated well?!

Shi A continued: "The hard work paid off, and soon someone reported that they saw those four people in front of Yuan Kui's mansion. I hurried over on horseback. When I arrived at Yuan Kui's mansion, I saw from a distance that Xun Yu and the four of them were stopped by the family in front of Yuan Kui's door, and it seemed that they were willing to ask them for money before they were willing to tell their master. Zhong Xuan wanted to turn around and leave immediately, but Hua Xin grabbed him and said, 'Do you really want to work for that rough martial artist', Zhong Xuan thought about it and no longer insisted on leaving. ”

Jin Liang's heart swished out a murderous aura, Hua Xin, I will kill him.

Historical records

Shi A was shocked by Jin Liang's sudden burst of murderous aura, he originally thought that there was no rival under the master, and his heart was filled with fear, no wonder the master said that he was invincible to Jin Liang in the horse battle, and this infiltrating momentum was not something that he Shi A could stop, thinking of this, Shi A's originally high head was lowered. When Jin Liang saw the look on Shi A's face, he knew that he was intimidated by his murderous aura, and couldn't help but sigh that this kid was still too shallow, far less calm than his master, coughed lightly, and motioned for Shi A to continue speaking.

Shi A said again: "Xun Yu and the four of them waited outside for half an hour, but they still couldn't get in, and just as they were about to brush their sleeves away, Cao Cao, the prime minister of the plains, walked out of it, first gave them a big gift, solemnly apologized, and then pulled their robe sleeves to ask for warmth, which seemed to be very affectionate. The four of them were moved by Cao Cao's sincere attitude, so they followed Cao Cao into Yuan's mansion. ”

Hearing Cao Cao's appearance, Jin Liang despaired, those four sages had already missed him, and perhaps it would never be possible to take them under his command again, and the day they met in the future would be a time of hostility.

Jin Liang looked at the sky, it turned out that he was waiting for Xun Yu and the two of them to wait until the willow tops on the moon, looking at the bright moon, Jin Liang couldn't help but look up to the sky and sigh: "I was going to the bright moon, but the bright moon shines on the ditch!" ”

Wang Yue saw Jin Liang's discouraged appearance, and couldn't help but say angrily: "These four sour Confucians, with eyes but no beads, I will go to Yuan Kui's mansion and kill them, with the hatred of Lord Xue." ”

Jin Liang waved his hand: "Wang Huben, if the virtuous talent does not come to me, I will kill him, how should the virtuous people in the future treat me Jin Xianting, I must not fall into the name of jealousy and narrow-mindedness." Seeing Jin Liang say this, Wang Yue shook his head at Shi A and gave up his original assassination plan.

Jin Liang shook his head and laughed at himself softly: "In the final analysis, it is I, Jin Liang, who has no self-knowledge, and is delusional in trying to recruit such talents. ”

Jin Liang thought about it carefully, these people were all from high-ranking families, how could they easily serve him, a rough warrior who suddenly appeared? It's my own wishful thinking. Maybe those children of the poor family, those side branches of the big family are willing to defect to me. (To be continued.) )
