Chapter 21: Five Years of Zhongping

The five years of Zhongping are destined to be an unstable year, not only the resurgence of the yellow scarves in the Quartet, but also the chaos of the district stars in Changsha. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE怂 info Yuyang Zhang Ju and Zhang Chun erected anti-flags, Zhang Ju called himself the Son of Heaven, and Zhang Chun called himself a general, and the smoke was rolling for a while. It's a pity that these reports were stopped by Zhang Rang and others, and were not reported to the emperor.

After Liu Hong got the grain and grass of the high night, coupled with the fact that Baibo and Yellow Turban had no intention of attacking Luoyang for the time being, he himself was relieved, not to mention that He Jin gave him a suggestion, saying that "the Son of Heaven will be in charge of the military affairs, and he can threaten the Quartet", so he ordered He Jin to build a high altar in Pingxing, which is divided into twelve layers, each layer has a colorful canopy, about ten zhang high. Liu Hong personally held a military parade here, and He Jin led the Luoyang defenders to participate in this event.

Liu Hong thought that the world would be peaceful in this way, but unfortunately it backfired, not only was there smoke everywhere, coupled with the concealment of Zhang Rang and others, Liu Hong only cared about the palace maid every day, where did he know that his country was already in turmoil. Poor counselor Liu Tao, but he said a few words about the ten permanent servants who misled the country, but he was retreated by the ten permanent servants, and he was imprisoned. Situ Chen Tan even hit his head on the steps and admonished Liu Hong, but Liu Hong, who was furious, threw him and Liu Tao into prison together.

Zhang Rang and others knew that these two people must not stay, so they poisoned the two of them in prison that night, and in the name of the emperor, they named Sun Jian as the Taishou of Changsha and crusaded against Ou Xing. Feng Liu Yu was appointed as the pastor of Youzhou, and led the troops to Yuyang to recruit Zhang Ju and Zhang Chun.

Liu Tao's exhortation, not only did not have a good effect, but made Liu Hong very angry, he was wise and martial, where could there be such a rebellion? These guys are really racking their brains to kill my intimate slaves.

However, one wave has not settled, one wave has risen another, and the two of them have died when they die, and now He Jin has actually begun to force himself to establish a prince? His sister's son Liu Wei is the eldest son and also the son-in-law, so it stands to reason that he should be appointed as the crown prince, which is naturally logical. It's just that I have always disliked this son, and I always feel that he is cowardly and incompetent, not as smart as his younger brother Liu Xie, and not as calm as his younger brother Liu Xie.

But if you want to abolish the elder and the younger, there must always be a reason, although Liu Wei is cowardly, but filial piety is not a loss, and the grade is young and cannot make any big mistakes. If he is not made the crown prince, not only He Jin is not satisfied, but the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty are afraid that they will oppose it. Thinking that Emperor Wen wanted to make Liu Che the crown prince, Prime Minister Zhou Yafu blocked him several times on the grounds that the elders and young were orderly. In the end, Emperor Wen had to unjustly kill Zhou Yafu, which helped Liu Che to the throne. Do you have to kill yourself? It's just that He Jin has Luoyang soldiers and horses in his hands, if he is pressed hard, what if he commits a rebellion?

"Father, you say, which of my two sons is more suitable to be the emperor?"

"Your Majesty, both of them are your sons, so naturally neither of them is bad." Zhang Rang said while pouring wine for Liu Hong.

"Hmph, you guy, don't you usually like to judge others, why, when it comes to my son, you don't dare to speak?"

Zhang Rang has followed Liu Hong for so long, where can he not know Liu Hong's thoughts, doesn't he just want to establish Liu Xie, but he can't find an excuse. Then he replied: "They are all His Majesty's dragons, and they are naturally all good." The old slave didn't dare to speak up. It's just that according to the old slave, I'm afraid that the prince is more excellent. ā€

"Oh? How so? Liu Hongfa asked.

"Back to Your Majesty, a few days ago, the old slave was in the back garden, and I saw the two princes playing, although the prince was young, but he didn't need the help of any maids and slaves, even if he fell, he would get up by himself. But the prince of argumentation, even if he bumped into it, he had to cry, and in the garden, he hugged him back and forth, and more than a dozen slaves and maids have been protecting him. On this point, the old slave felt that the prince of association was better than the prince of debate. ā€

"Alas, my eldest son, filial piety is filial piety, but he is too cowardly. How can you control these ministers in the future? In particular, there is a big general, and Huo Guang's matter is not far away. ā€

"In fact, what Your Majesty is worried about is that the general has the military power in his hands and commands the soldiers and horses of the world. According to the old slave, it is Your Majesty's grace that he can lead the world's soldiers and horses, and now His Majesty does not want him to lead, so he can naturally take it back. ā€

"It's not easy to say, although the general has no ability, but in the position of the general, there is no mistake. What's more, in the Yellow Turban Rebellion, although he did not send troops to quell the rebellion, he was a general in the end, and such credit was naturally indispensable to him. The sudden dismissal is only for fear that the people of the DPRK and China will be unstable. Father, you should also be a little more restrained, Huangfu Song and Zhu Jun were forced to run away by you, why, you won't let go of the general? ā€

"The old slave doesn't dare, Your Majesty!" Zhang Rang hurriedly knelt on the ground.

"That's it, it's also this Huangfu Song who forced me to lift the ban on the party, otherwise, how could I remove his official? As for this general, let's figure it out. Passed the decree, set up eight captains in Xiyuan, Feng Jianshuo was a military captain, Yuan Shao was a lieutenant in the middle army, and that Bao Xin went to crusade against the Runan Yellow Turban, although the army was defeated, but he was your father's person, this time it will be forgotten. Let his younger brother Bao Hong be a military captain. ā€

"The old slave thanked His Majesty for his grace on behalf of Bao Hong and Bao Xin."

"Well, as for the lieutenant of the military academy, let Cao Cao serve as it, so as not to dissatisfy the general. Xia Mu and Chun Yuqiong were named the left and right captains, and the left and right captains of the auxiliary army were served by Zhao Rong and Feng Fang. Jian Shuo, this person, not only has some martial arts, but what is even more rare is that he understands military strategy, and he is named a military captain, just so that he can lead the eighth school of Xiyuan and have a good share of the right to advance. ā€

"Your Majesty is wise. Among these people, there are five people who are in the line of generals, but the position of marshal is held by Jian Shuo, so that the Eighth School of the West Park is firmly controlled by His Majesty. Even if the general is dissatisfied, he can no longer control Yuan Shao and the others. ā€

"Father, when you go to deliver the decree, tell Jian Shuo to lead the troops well, what I want is for him to control all the soldiers and horses in Luoyang in his own hands, not for him to fight with He Jin for a long time."

"Oh, the old slave remembers."

When the order was given, Jian Shuo was naturally ecstatic. Controlling the army is really not something ordinary people can do, Your Majesty trusts herself so much, and she can't live up to Your Majesty's expectations. Although He Jin is not a wise man, he is not a complete straw bag, and if he wants to really get all the control of the Luoyang army, he really needs to think in the long run.

As for He Jin, he didn't have any ideas, anyway, he, a great general, controlled the soldiers and horses of the world, and the soldiers in Luoyang, so why not let him be in command? What's more, Yuan Shao, Cao Cao and others are one of the eight captains, and they are not afraid of what the eunuchs really want to do when the time comes.

However, the next news made He Jin a little entangled, because His Majesty issued an order to reward him with 100 military vehicles and tiger axes, and ordered him to go west to crusade against Bian Zhang and Han Sui. When he saw the holy decree, he said in his heart that this must be the conspiracy of Zhang Rang and others. This is known to the Manchu dynasty that he will not be able to fight, why did His Majesty send himself to crusade against them? I'm afraid that the meaning of killing people with a knife is stronger. But if you don't go, you can't do it, and you can't afford the crime of disrespecting the will. How good is that?

Now that he finally blocked the Baibo Yellow Turban, although the Runan Yellow Turban defeated Bao Xin, he also suffered heavy losses and was unable to forge ahead. Sun Jian quelled the rebellion of Ou Xing in Changsha, and Liu Yu sent back the heads of Zhang Chun and Zhang Ju with the help of Liu Bei and others. I don't know if these two people haven't even been able to calm down Dong Zhuo and Zhang Wen? What is the difference between going by yourself and sending you to death?

If you want to talk about He Jin, although it is really not good to fight, but after being mixed in the court for so long, he still has a little political struggle ability. Although after receiving the will, he was very entangled, he didn't know what to do, and he didn't even know what the emperor was going to do, but after thinking and meditating all night, He Jin reacted.

What is the Emperor going to do? This is to kill yourself so as to clear the way for Liu Xie's ascension to the throne! When He Jin thought of this, he couldn't help but suddenly feel enlightened, since this is the case, he is even more of a place where he will never be able to go to the west. However, how to skillfully resist the divine decree is also a difficult task.

On the second day, Liu Hong asked about the matter, and He Jin got up and played: "Your Majesty, although Han Sui and Bian Zhang are rebellious now, they are far away from the west, and they are not in a hurry. Today, Yan and Xu Erzhou, the yellow turban is raging, this party is a problem for the henchmen, and an army should be sent to pacify it. When the Yellow Turban of Erzhou is pacified, the old minister will lead the victorious army to crusade against the two thieves of Bian and Han. ā€

As soon as He Jin finished speaking, Yuan Shao immediately went out and said: "Your Majesty, the minister is willing to lead the troops and fight against Yan and Xu Huangscarf." ā€

Liu Hong frowned, looked at He Jin and Yuan Shao, although he was unwilling, but there was no way, first, He Jin was right, the yellow turbans in these two states were raging, and they were indeed much more harmful than Bian Zhang and Han Sui. Second, if he is uneven, maybe He Jin will let his younger brother He Miao do something. He Miao was in Bishui County at this time, and if he opened and closed the yellow scarf without permission, it would be terrible.

Liu Hong had no choice but to agree to He Jin's request.

He Jin can be regarded as having escaped, but he is thinking everywhere in his heart about how to get back the military power of Luoyang from Jian Shuo. As for Jian Shuo, after going through this experience, he was even more deliberate about how to get rid of He Jin. The plan he offered to the emperor before seemed ingenious, letting a general who couldn't fight go to crusade against Han Sui and Bian Zhang, he must be in a situation of no life, who knew that this He Jin still had some ability, and he actually skillfully resolved this dead end, so that he must know that he had bad intentions towards him, and this eradication of He Jin became an imminent matter.

Jian Shuo's various uneasiness was written in the letter, and he sent his henchmen to Zhao Zhong, hoping to get his advice. even wanted to work with Zhao Zhong and others to eradicate He Jin. Just because the letter said "The general's brothers and the party members of the world are plotting to kill the first emperor and eliminate us", Zhao Zhong made up his mind to get rid of He Jin with Jian Shuo, but before they could come up with a specific plan, a big thing suddenly happened!

Liu Hong was critically ill, and life and death were only in an instant.
