Chapter 18 Seeking Prosperity and Wealth
The clouds and the sky are bright and leaking a faint light, the horses are neighing, and the dust and smoke are chaotic.
"My lord, why do you think they are going out in such a hurry early in the morning?"
Ye Man glanced at the westbound knight who was already like dust in the distance, and said casually: "What else can you do when you go out of the city at this time, everyone can think of it." ”
Li Gou looked embarrassed when he heard this, isn't his name a dog and not a human? It's just that I only dare to slander this in my heart.
But said that at this time in the harem, the He family, who had a big quarrel with the Dong family, was unspeakably angry, after all, she was a daughter-in-law, and the soft knife was still in the middle of talking, but she didn't dare to say it before the hundred officials, and the quarrel was extremely disadvantaged, and she broke out when she returned to the harem: "This old horseman, life is always a scourge, brother, it's better for us to be her." ”
Hong Ji, who had been pretending to look elsewhere, but actually looked at He from time to time, was startled when he heard this, and couldn't believe that this was the words of the delicate wife in his eyes.
Different from Hong Ji's shock, He Jin looked calm, and after taking a few steps back and forth, he said loudly: "Why don't we take advantage of the fact that the former emperor returned to heaven, it is rumored that the empress dowager will go out of the city to choose a mausoleum for the first emperor, and then kill her on the way." ”
"This ...... Will she go out of town? ”
"The palace is our territory, why is it difficult for Yulin Jun to tie up an old lady?"
"Good! Everything is up to my brother, but today she just finished arguing with me and suddenly died, after all, it is not good, why don't you wait for the funeral of the former emperor to be completed, and pretend to be in the name of the empress dowager to go to the imperial mausoleum to worship......"
Ho's point stopped, but everyone understood the meaning of his words.
He Jin is also a person who does big things: "Good! Let that old woman be arrogant for a few more days! ”
At this time, Hong Ji didn't pretend to look at other places but really looked at other places, I didn't expect this fairy-like woman's mind to be so vicious, "It's just like her daughter, she is beautiful and poisonous, and her breasts are still small, or her own Cai Yan's sister is good, light voice, soft body, good music, but I don't know when I will be able to experience her Xiao Yi ......"
Hong Ji, who said secretly, thought of his unbounded task, and showed a little sadness.
This sad color happened to be seen by He Jin, who was about to leave, thinking that Hong Ji was grateful for Liu Hong's kindness to him, and couldn't bear to harm his mother, and even felt that Hong Ji valued love and righteousness. As for the suspicion that Hong Ji is inclined to the Dong family? The angry scolding that shocked the officials in the morning is still fresh in my memory, and he is not so brain-dead.
For a few days, Dong ignored He's dissuasion to listen to the government, and wantonly sealed Dong Zhong and other relatives to strengthen his authority, He Jin looked at her like a dead man, and did not go against the dead, so under He Jin's "acquiescence", Dong became the most powerful person in the entire Han Empire for a while.
It rained in Luoyang City, but it was pouring rain on the ground in Liangzhou.
On this day, several knights entered the Jincheng County Government, but due to the unexpected heavy rain, they did not attract anyone's attention.
Several knights who entered the city did not dare to delay, and galloped to the county guard's mansion, handing over the secret letter to Dong Zhuo without any twists and turns.
"It's ...... Dong Cheng's handwriting. ”
"What did he say?"
"He said that the first emperor returned to heaven because of the earth's turmoil, and the Empress Dowager Dong and the Empress Dowager He had many contradictions, although the first emperor left an edict to the Emperor Zixie, but in the end it was the prince who succeeded to the throne."
After Dong Zhuo finished speaking, there was a strange silence in the hall, but fortunately, there was no big man in the hall who was loyal, and it saved a lot of worry.
"Lord ......"
Dong Zhuo waved his right hand to stop what Li Ru wanted to say, glanced left and right, and said, "You guys go down first!" ”
"Yes!"
After a while, seeing that everyone retreated, Li Ru continued: "When Wang Meiren gave birth to the prince's association, Queen He was jealous, afraid that Wang Meiren would further threaten her status if she had a son, so she instructed people to secretly put the poison in the decoction that Wang Meiren took after giving birth, poisoning Wang Meiren, Emperor Ling was furious, intending to depose Queen He, but fortunately, the eunuch Cao Jie, who was trusted by Emperor Ling, knelt down together, why did the queen intercede, and Emperor Ling pardoned Queen He. ”
Li Ru, who paused slightly, observed Dong Zhuo's expression on his face and continued: "Liu Xie is not yet full-term at this time, and Emperor Ling is afraid that Liu Xie will be assassinated again if he leaves Liu Xie in the harem, so he took him to Yongle Palace and asked the Empress Dowager Dong to raise him. Now that the Dong family was defeated by the He family in the battle for the throne, the contradiction between the general and the ten permanent servants headed by Zhang Rang is well known, and now that Liu Wei is on the throne, He Jin will inevitably take further power, but the He family trusts the eunuchs very much because of the poisoning of Wang Meiren and some other things about Chen sesame rotten grain......"
Dong Zhuo is naturally not a stupid person, from the intricate contradictions told by Li Ru, he can easily feel the unrest in Luoyang City.
After years of tacit understanding, he knew that Li Ru still had something to say, so he was not in a hurry to speak, but just thought quietly.
Li Ru really lived up to the tacit understanding between the two, seeing Dong Zhuo pondering, he continued: "At present, the 100,000 troops of Beigong Boyu, Li Wenhou, Han Sui, and Bian Zhang are still entrenched outside Jincheng, and now it is the beginning of spring, and the wheat (winter wheat) will mature at the turn of spring and summer, and it is the time when the old grain will be exhausted and the new grain will not be born, although we have defeated them many times with their respective careful thoughts, but they will not disperse, once the food shortage comes, I am afraid that they will cooperate sincerely, and then ......"
Li Ru has already repeated the various situations he is facing now, Dong Zhuo didn't let him wait for a long time, and said, "Beigong Boyu, Li Wenhou, Han Sui, Bian Zhang, except for Beigong Boyu, who has the appearance of a hero, the rest are all dogs who guard the house, but among the four people, Beigong Boyu is the weakest, so that the Qiang chaos is just a disease of ringworm and scabies, which is not enough to trouble, and Luoyang has a sudden change in the situation at this time, I am afraid that there will be a great wealth waiting." ”
"What do you mean?"
"The battle for the throne has been on the top of the throne since ancient times, and the normal succession is still like this, and now Liu Xie, who should have inherited the unification by the edict, has lost, how can He Jin let go of the Empress Dowager Dong? If Empress Dowager Dong returns to heaven, how should the eunuch who has long been incompatible with He Jin feel? I'm afraid that Luoyang will inevitably have a mutiny. ”
"What about Jincheng?"
As soon as Dong Zhuo opened his mouth, Li Ru knew that he intended to withdraw from the idea of seeking a great fortune.
"Those who become big things, regardless of the rules, just Jincheng County, abandon it! It's just that how to darken Chen Cang is to plan well. ”
As a strategist, Li Ru is a professional, and seeing that Dong Zhuo has already made up his mind, he proposed: "Why don't we go out of the city in the name of the rebels in the covenant, and then go east?" ”
Dong Zhuo smiled, and looked at the rain curtain outside the door with even more joy: "It seems that God also intends to help me!" ”
