Chapter 102: Strategy against the Yuan family

Empress Dowager He waved her hand to signal those palace maids to stay away, and said to Jin Liang: "Aiqing, you should be calm and tell the palace what happened to the palace, the palace is very curious." Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE。 info" is ordinary, but it hides a bit of murder.

Jin Liang was in a hurry, and instantly made up a reasonable plot: "Weichen was ordered by the general that day to burn Mengjindu to illuminate Luoyang City to deter the ten permanent servants, and after Weichen led people to set fire to Mengjindu, suddenly thunder and lightning increased, and Weichen was struck by a strange purple lightning, and then fell unconscious for a few days. ”

Empress Dowager He nodded: "This palace has heard a little, please continue, this palace wants to know how the Emperor of Heaven gave you what great Han talent book?" ”

Jin Liang continued to follow the plot he had just come up with: "Our army is all mortal with the naked eye, in their eyes, I was naturally in a coma for a few days, in fact, in those days, my soul has been taken by the Emperor of Heaven to the Heavenly Realm, and it turns out that the purple lightning is the lead that the Emperor of Heaven sprinkled to the world, guiding my soul to the Heavenly Realm. ”

Speaking of this, Jin Liang blinked his eyes, with a surprised expression: "Wechen arrived at the Heavenly Realm and accepted the summons of the Emperor of Heaven, and Wechen was taken aback. ”

Empress Dowager He was puzzled and said: "My Emperor Gaozu of the Han Dynasty said that he is the son of the Red Emperor, and the Red Emperor is the Yan Emperor, and the Heavenly Emperor is the Yan Emperor's ascension to heaven." This is something that everyone knows under the rule of the Han Dynasty, I don't know why Aiqing is so surprised? ”

Jin Liang shook his head and denied the legend of the people and clouds that the Empress Dowager He said, and instead said the mythological concept that he had been thinking about for a long time: "Weichen saw Emperor Yan in the heavenly realm, and Emperor Yan has been transformed into an immortal, not the current Emperor of Heaven. The Emperor of Heaven has someone else. The Queen Mother didn't know. The celestial masters are divided into five classes. Gods, immortals, emperors, saints, and sages, the highest level of gods, there are only four gods in the heavenly realm, namely Pangu, the creator father god, Hua Xu, the mother god of creation, Fuxi, the male god of creation, and Nuwa, the goddess of creation; There are not many immortals, only Yan, Huang, Yao, Shun, Yu, Tang, Ji Chang, Zhou Gong, Wu Ancestor Wu Immortal Taigong Lu Shang, Taoist Holy Lao Dan, Confucian Most Holy Wenxian Kong Qiu, etc.; There are more than 100 saints such as Shengcangjie, Xiangsheng Yiyin, Yasheng Mencius, Daosheng Zhuangzi, Mosheng Mozi, Bingsheng Sun Wu, poet Shengqu Yuan, Musheng Luban, etc., as for the virtuous talents, there are as many as hundreds, too many to mention. The Emperor of Heaven has no control over the immortals, but he can govern the sages of the heavenly realm and all things in the human realm. Moreover, the Emperor of Heaven is not fixed, but rotates with the changes in the human world. ”

Empress Dowager He had no way to question Jin Liang's statement, because the legends of Pangu, Huaxu, Fuxi, and Nuwa had been deeply rooted in the Eastern Han Dynasty, and they were not only myths and legends, but also ancestor worship. ”

Jin Liang smiled slightly: "The heavenly realm is connected with the human realm, and once the emperor of the human realm dies, he will ascend to the heavenly realm to become the emperor of heaven." And if the original Emperor of Heaven is a person with high merit, he will be promoted to an immortal, and if he has low merit, he will die in ashes. So the Queen Mother should be able to guess who the current Emperor of Heaven is?! ”

Empress Dowager He was taken aback, covered her mouth, and opened her eyes wide: "Could it be the first emperor?" ”

Jin Liang nodded: "It is the first emperor, the first emperor saw that the world was full of desolation, and he deeply regretted all kinds of things before, the first emperor did not want the Liu Han royal family to fall into decline, so he implored the ancestors of Weichen to cast a spell, and used the purple flash lead to send Weichen's soul to the heavenly realm, and the immortals taught the real six Tao three strategies to Weichen, and taught Weichen to follow the story of the ancestors to assist King Wu of Zhou, and did his best to assist the Son of Heaven. Let Wechen recruit talents to help, let Wechen clear Dong Zhuo, Yuan Shao and other traitors, assist the Son of Heaven, and rejuvenate the Han Dynasty. ”

Jinling's words were full of leaks, how could it be that Emperor Han Ling was the current Emperor of Heaven, Empress Dowager He couldn't refute it, she could only choose to believe it, but in this way, her brows wrinkled into Sichuan characters again: "But when the first emperor was alive, he favored Liu Xie, the king of Chen Liu, and didn't like to distinguish children, he should have explained to you to assist Liu Xie, how could he let you assist you?" ”

Jin Liang secretly screamed that it was not good, this lie was still not satisfactory, but his mind turned quickly, and he immediately replied: "Originally, the first emperor taught Weichen to assist King Chen Liu, and the ancestor of Weichen The ancestors of the immortals advised the first emperor that abolishing the long and the young has been the way of defeat since ancient times, and Weichen also persuaded the first emperor with the story of Qin Shi Huang's country being succeeded by his second son Hu Hai and dying. The first emperor was under my ancestors, and he didn't dare to disobey it, so he asked Weichen to come to assist the prince. The first emperor did not hesitate to spend merit and predicted that the Queen Mother and the Son of Heaven would be in trouble, so he asked Weichen to go to the rescue according to his prediction. Weichen was able to successfully save the Queen Mother and the Son of Heaven, relying on the entrustment of the first emperor, if not, the Queen Mother may have an accident. ”

Speaking of this, Jin Liang's words stopped abruptly, grabbed the inkstone on the table in front of him, and threw it hard at a beam on the queen mother's bedroom, the inkstone seemed to be a black lightning, hitting the girder, only to hear a scream, and a person fell to the ground with a thud. As the inkstone flew out, Jin Liang also jumped up suddenly, took three steps and made two steps, rubbed a few steps and ran to the man's approach, and before the man struggled to get up, Jin Liang hurriedly stepped on the man's body and tied the man up with his backhand. The man fell from the beam of the house and there was no big problem, he was still trying to break free from the bondage, how could Jin Liang be strong, the man was helpless.

Empress Dowager He was so frightened that her face was pale, and Jin Liang comforted her softly: "Empress Dowager, don't panic, it's just a sneaky palace maid, not an assassin." ”

Empress Dowager He looked at it fixedly, and was furious after seeing it: "Aren't you the maid sent by Taifu Yuan Kui?" Why did you hide on the girder and eavesdrop on the speech of the main palace? ”

A few days ago, Jin Liang escorted the Empress Dowager He back to the palace, the eunuchs in the palace have been killed, and the palace maids also scattered and fled, in addition to the Empress Dowager He's henchmen and palace maids, other palace maids cupped the bow and snake shadow, rarely turned back to the inner palace, the Empress Dowager He lacked envoys to the palace maids, Yuan Kui saw this, and chose a maid from home to serve the Empress Dowager He. Empress Dowager He had heard Jin Liang say that the Yuan family had other plans, so she was also suspicious of the maid, and only let her do some rough work, and never let her come close. The palace maid's face turned pale and she didn't say a word, and after a while, blood flowed from the corners of her mouth. Jin Liang's eyes widened and he saw that this palace maid had already committed suicide by biting her tongue.

Empress Dowager He was shocked and angry: "This Yuan Kui is so daring, he dares to send spies to spy on the palace." The palace will abolish his position as a concubine and punish him. To ........"

Jin Liang shook his head and said, "Queen Mother." Yuan Shu raised many dead soldiers in Yuan's mansion. worked hard for his Yuan family, presumably this maid was also one of them. But this maid has bitten her tongue and committed suicide, and there is no proof of her death, so Yuan Kui has many excuses to deny, for example, this maid was bought by a certain prince before she came to his Yuan family. The fourth generation and three dukes of the Yuan family, protégés and former officials are all over the world, with deep roots and great power, and the queen mother can't help him with just one maid. ”

Speaking of which. Jin Liang sighed and said: "Queen Mother, Wechen has told you many times how powerful the Yuan family is, and the Queen Mother will be suspicious, and now the Queen Mother can see the horror of the Yuan family with her own eyes, and still have any doubts about Wechen?" ”

Empress Dowager He stabilized her mind and said coquettishly: "Aiqing, who asked you not to tell the palace about the Emperor in detail, so that the palace is suspicious of you." The Yuan family is now so domineering and treacherous, how should this palace be good, even according to what Aiqing said. moved to Jingzhou, but the counties below Jingzhou were also mostly controlled by Yuan's protégés. If the Yuan family wants to control the palace and the Son of Heaven, it is as easy as a snap. ”

Jin Liang wanted to make the Empress Dowager He's state of mind to despair, and when she was desperate, she would grab her own life-saving straw without thinking, and then trust herself completely, only if she completely trusted herself, she could successfully complete the coercion of the Empress Dowager to order the princes, so she did not directly answer Empress Dowager He's question, and decided to continue to intimidate: "When I was in the heavenly realm, the first emperor once told me that the folk rumor 'the Han Dynasty, when Tu Gao' is not a lie, Tu Tongtu, when Tu Gao means' The high platform above the road', the word in the name of Yuan Shu, the son of the Yuan family, has the meaning of the road in the city, and the word "highway" of Yuan Shu has more meaning, and Liu Han's fire virtue has declined, and the fire should be Tude, and Yuan has soil, and the Yuan family should be Tude, when the Han Dynasty. ”

After Empress Dowager He heard this, her face turned pale: "In recent days, there have been rumors in Luoyang City that 'those who represent the Han Dynasty, when Tu Gao, Liu's death, and Yuan's prosperity', I thought it was a rumor, but it turned out to be true, and it must have been deliberately spread by the Yuan family." Aiqing, you have to help this palace, this palace doesn't want Liu Han's hundreds of years of foundation to lose the hands of this palace. ”

Jin Liangxin secretly rejoiced, in fact, the six words "Liu's death, Yuan's prosperity" were spread by some henchmen and subordinates of the Tang family sent by Xuanyuan Xue in Luoyang City, in order to divide the family.

As long as this rumor spreads, many families who are still loyal to Liu Han will definitely look at the Yuan family, and the Yuan family has installed so many protégés and former officials under the whole world, there are so many official positions in the world, and the hegemony of the Yuan family will inevitably damage the interests of other families, and there are more than one or two families that are implicitly hostile to the Yuan family, and this rumor may also unite those anti-Yuan families, so that It also accelerated the sense of crisis in Empress Dowager He's heart and deepened Empress Dowager He's trust in him, which can really be described as killing two birds with one stone.

Jin Liang continued to say: "Although the first emperor said that it was the number of days, as a descendant of Liu Han, he couldn't sit back and watch Liu Hansheji collapse, so he sacrificed the merits of becoming an immortal, changed his life against the sky, passed on many skills to me, and ordered me to assist the young master and rejuvenate the Han family." The first emperor also explained that the first step of the Zhongxing Han family was to unite with the Yuan family to get rid of Dong Zhuo, and then unite with other princes to get rid of the Yuan family, and finally slowly cut off other princes with bad intentions. ”

When Empress Dowager He heard Jin Liang say this, she bowed and said: "Everything depends on Aiqing." ”

Jin Liang hurriedly helped up the Empress Dowager He: "Wechen is ashamed and dare not be, as long as the Empress Dowager can trust Wechen, Wechen is willing to smear his liver and brains, and he will not give up." ”

When Jin Liang stretched out his hand to help Empress Dowager He, his tentacles were silky skin like jade cream, and his heart couldn't help but wave, He Lian, this girl is nearly thirty years old, and she is really well maintained, this skin is so good to the touch, I don't know when I will be able to touch it well. Jin Liang discussed with Empress Dowager He how to limit the power of the Yuan family, and if you want to impress the enemy, you must know yourself and your opponent.

Jin Liang originally knew very little about the Yuan family, except for Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu, he knew almost nothing, and he didn't even know what the origin of the fourth and third princes of the Yuan family was, but Chen Lin and Guo Jia under his command knew a lot about the Yuan family. And the most important thing is that Xuanyuan Xue sensed that there might be at least one and at most a few of Chi You's subordinates lurking in the Yuan family in order to influence the general situation in the mortal world. Therefore, the hostility between Jin Liang and the Yuan family is an inevitable result.

Since the pretending to be a coercive Yuan An, the Yuan family has soared for hundreds of years, Yuan An has been Situ, Yuan An's second son Yuan Chang has been Sikong, Yuan An's eldest son Yuan Jing has only been the Taishou of Shu County, but Yuan Jing's son Yuan Tang is an official to the Taiwei, and Yuan Tang's third son Yuan Feng and fourth son Yuan Kui are also ranked as the third duke. This is the so-called "Four Worlds and Three Princes". As a matter of fact. Historically. In the generation of Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu, it can be said that it is the third duke of the fifth world, and the guy Yuan Shu also called himself the emperor, and he can be regarded as "the third prince of the fifth world and the first emperor". The fourth and third dukes are not terrible, what is terrible is the bullshit inspection system in the Eastern Han Dynasty. The inspection system allows high-ranking officials with more than 2,000 stones to recommend talents, and those officials of the Yuan family have the right to recommend talents, and the people who are promoted become the protégés and ancient officials of these lords and mansion masters, and the protégés are for profit. Treat the lord with the courtesy of monarchs and ministers, fathers and sons, and even do not hesitate to attach and bribe in order to consolidate the knot, these four generations have been a hundred years down, the Yuan family does not know how many protégés and former officials have been cultivated in the government and the opposition, and most of the states and counties in the world are densely covered with their protégés and former officials, and this force is even a little stronger than the royal family.

Historically, in the ten years between the battle of the Kwantung princes against Dong Zhuo and the battle of Guandu, Cao Cao depended on Yuan Shao for development, Yuan Shao dominated North China, and Sun Jian depended on Yuan Shu for development. Yuan Shu dominated South China, and Gongsun Zan joined forces with Yuan Shu to deal with Yuan Shao. Cao Cao teamed up with Yuan Shao to deal with Yuan Shu, and Liu Biao teamed up with Yuan Shao to deal with Sun Jian. If it weren't for the disagreement of the Yuan brothers, I'm afraid that the world would not fall into the hands of Cao Cao, with so many protégés and former officials to help, not to mention the revival of the Han family, even if the brothers joined forces and started anew, it was not a very difficult thing to replace the entire Han Dynasty, but the two brothers looked down on each other extremely much, and the brothers Ni Wall killed each other, causing the Yuan family to respond to Mencius's words, "The gentleman's Ze, the fifth generation and beheaded". Jin Liang thought about it for a while, and then said to the Empress Dowager He: "The general mistakenly believed Yuan Shao's words before and recruited soldiers from all over the world into Beijing, which is really a big mistake, especially recruiting Dong Zhuo into Beijing, which can almost destroy Liu Hansheji. Dong Zhuo was originally just a small officer in Xiliang, and was recommended by the famous general Duan Cheng to Yuan Kui, who was then Situ, and served as a subordinate in Yuan Kui's Situ Mansion, and since then he has been repeatedly promoted, his fortune is inseparable from the support of the Yuan family, and he is considered a former official of the Yuan family. The Yuan family and Dong Zhuo both have ill intentions, such an internal and external attack, if it were not for the wisdom of the Queen Mother and the timely order of me to gather military power, the general trend would be out of control. ”

Empress Dowager He nodded and said: "What Aiqing said is very true, this palace has also advised the eldest brother not to introduce foreign soldiers, but the eldest brother is stubborn and does not listen to good words, resulting in the destruction of the excellent situation." ”

Jin Liang saw that the Empress Dowager He could listen to it, so he continued to speak bluntly: "The general really shouldn't reuse the people of the Yuan family, and the Empress Dowager really shouldn't trust Yuan Kui and others. ”

Empress Dowager He doubted: "The Yuan family is already so bad, Empress Dowager Ben is determined not to trust them anymore, why does Aiqing have to emphasize it again and again?" ”

Jin Liang quoted the historical facts that Guo Jia and Chen Lin had told him: "The Yuan family rose from Yuan An, and Yuan An pretended to get the credit of the court under the false name of Wo Xue, and when he was the emperor, the Empress Dowager Dou was in the court, and Dou Xian was a general at the time. In the debate on whether to attack the Northern Xiongnu, Yuan An advocated Huairou, opposed the labor division to travel far away, and fought for more than 10 times without a crown, if it were not for General Dou Xian's insistence, the Northern Xiongnu would have continued to ravage the Han frontier. The attitude of the Yuan family towards foreign relatives has been established since the time of Yuan An, but it is a pity that the general does not know the historical facts and mistakenly believes Yuan Shao's words, so he has today's troubles. ”

Empress Dowager He sighed and said: "Although the eldest brother often has a majestic attitude, but the palace knows that he is cowardly by nature, just because he was born in a poor family, he is afraid of the family three points, cowardly and trustworthy, thinking that if he reuses the children of the family, he can get their loyalty, and now listening to Aiqing's words, the palace can also see that the general was used by Yuan Shao, and the general died, and the Yuan family took the opportunity to sit big." This palace promises you that from now on, you will not listen to any children of the family again. For today's plan, how to deal with the Yuan family, and what is Aiqing's strategy? ”

Jin Liang told the Empress Dowager He that he had previously calculated with Xu Shu and Guo Jia when he left Yingchuan, and like this and this, the Empress Dowager He was overjoyed when she heard it: "Tomorrow morning, I will handle it with this plan." ”

After discussing how to deal with the Yuan family, Empress Dowager He asked Jin Liang to change the topic to the matter of the Heavenly Emperor: "Listening to Aiqing say this, it turns out that Aiqing rescued the palace, the Son of Heaven, and King Chen Liu, all of whom were instructed by the first emperor. That Aiqing's troops looted the palace, rewarded his subordinates with looted property, bought the hearts of the army, eliminated the inferior soldiers and left them to Lord Lu Zhi, recruited talents privately, and accepted palace maids at home, shouldn't it be the first emperor's order? The tone was calm, but murderous.

Jin Liang guessed a long time ago that Empress Dowager He used an elite royal spy organization in her hands, but it was not presented in history because Dong Zhuo entered Beijing too quickly, and Mrs. He did not have time to react, and in this time and space, Jin Liang gathered the rest of He Jin and He Miao, which made Dong Zhuo frightened and did not dare to enter Luoyang City, so that Empress Dowager He could calmly contact the royal spy organization and assign them to monitor various forces. Jin Liang's every move in recent days, I'm afraid most of them can't hide the eyes of those royal agents. (To be continued.) )
