Chapter 223: Undercurrents are surging

"I inherited Piji with Liangde, twenty-one years later. Since the pro-government, the discipline and law, the use of people and administration, can not look up to the law of the ancestors, the glory of the martial arts, the leisurely, the current peace, so that the national governance is not perfect, the people's livelihood is not successful, is also a crime.

The state is vast, the military pay is insufficient, but the money is spent on food and money, and the money is spent on the palace, and the money is not often saved, and the expenses are scarce, and every order meeting, that is, the meeting of the kings and ministers, can have no other strange strategy, but to discuss and reduce the money, in order to support the army, to favor oneself and others, and to gain and lose the low, which is the second sin of me.

I like to play, often want to be comfortable, Yan is in the deep palace, and there are very few royal dynasties. To the sparse reception with the courtiers, and the friendship between the upper and lower levels is blocked, which is the third sin of me.

Gaozu, Guangwu Chuang's foundation, the most important, the heir of Yuanliang, can not be empty for a long time, I Zi argued, born after the He family, fifteen years old, Qi Yinghui, Ke Cheng Zongao, hereby established as the crown prince, that is, in accordance with the canonical system, held for 27 days, released, that is, the emperor's throne. The special generals He Jin, Situ Yuan Kui, Zongzheng Liu Hong, and Zhang Rang were auxiliary ministers, and Yi and other old ministers were all honored and important ministers, and I was entrusted with my heart, and he was loyal to the sky, and Bao Yi Chong was the lord, and he was in charge of government affairs, and told China and foreign countries, and the Xian envoy heard about it......"

This is the edict of the Han Emperor Liu Hong, which roughly means that he has carried out three points of self-criticism. The first is to be conservative and lazy, resulting in the country not yet being governed and the people not being able to live in peace; second, the cost is too large in peacetime, resulting in insufficient military salaries; The third is to like to play and covet comfort, which leads to a bad relationship between the monarch and the minister. Generally speaking, Liu Hong's understanding of himself is quite profound, and he basically said the main problem, but unfortunately there is no change in his death. In the end, Liu Hong appointed the generals He Jin, Situ Yuan Kui, Zongzheng Liu Hong, and Zhongchang Zhang Rang as the four auxiliary ministers.

On April 11 of the sixth year of Hanzhongping (189 AD), Emperor Liu Hong of the Han Dynasty died of illness in the Jiade Palace, and on June 17, he was buried in Wenling, known as Emperor Xiaoling. According to the records of historical books, Liu Hong's life can be called a model of a faint king. During his reign, he spent most of his time implementing party and eunuch politics, setting up the West Garden, setting up clever names to loot money, and even selling official mantles for his own pleasure, and the Yellow Turban Rebellion broke out in the late reign, and Liangzhou and other places also fell into continuous turmoil. Of course, the history books are all recorded and sorted out by the scholars of the scholar clan, and Liu Hong has suppressed them all his life, and it is not surprising that he has received such a tragic evaluation. After all, after Liu Hong's death, the Han Empire soon fell into a state of disintegration, and Liu Hong could not escape the blame.

After Liu Hong, the eldest son Liu Wei succeeded to the throne as Emperor Shao of the Han Dynasty. As the twelfth emperor of the Eastern Han Dynasty, the young emperor was even more miserable, reigning for only five months, because of the rebellion of the ten permanent servants, which led to the merger of relatives and eunuch groups, both defeated, Dong Zhuo seized the opportunity to lead the army into Luoyang, abolished Liu Wei as the king of Hongnong, and renamed Liu Xie as the emperor. It didn't take long for Dong Zhuolu to kill the young emperor at the age of fifteen.

Since He Xian came to this era, he has worked hard to prevent this from happening! Without exaggeration, this is the biggest catastrophe in He Xian's history!

During the burial of Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty, Luoyang was still undercurrent. The four forces led by the four auxiliary ministers competed openly and secretly to re-divide the sphere of influence of the court.

Situ Mansion, secret room.

"Uncle, now that He Jin doesn't trust us at all, what should I do?" Yuan Shao asked.

Yuan Kui smiled: "Don't be in a hurry! Now that all parties are fighting, the little emperor wants to cultivate his own power, the queen mother wants to incorporate the ten permanent servants, the ten permanent servants want to maneuver in many ways, and the imperial family such as the Empress Dowager Dong and the Imperial Prince's Association are not clear, as for the general He Jin...... Hehe, if you don't need a party member, who will speak for him, if you use a party member......"

Yuan Feng also smiled and said: "That Tu Jiazi has no background after all, don't look at him as the most powerful now, in fact, he is all in vain, and it is useless." ”

Hearing Yuan Kui and Yuan Feng both say this, Yuan Shao's heart finally relaxed: "It's just that next, what should I do?" “

"What should I do?" Yuan Kuisen smiled coldly, "Naturally, wait!" ”

"Wait? How long will that have to wait? Yuan Shu, who had been unable to interject, jumped out and asked.

Since being dismissed from the position of Yin Zhi in Henan by Emperor Ling of Han and losing in the battle for the eighth lieutenant of the West Garden, Yuan Shu, who was idle at home, became more and more impatient.

"The highway, for the great things, must be calm!" Yuan Kui frowned and said.

"Yes, Uncle taught me!" Yuan Shu knew that he had lost his words and apologized.

"There are fierce tigers in Xiliang, and the first emperor has not listened to the order, how can he listen to the general? At the beginning, He Jiazi openly opposed Dong Zhuo leading Liangzhou Mu to take charge of the northwest war, and recommended Lu Zhi as the general of Zuo to suppress Dong Zhuo. Dong Zhuo has long been resentful. The old man guessed that within ten months, He Jiazi would ask His Majesty to re-mention Dong Zhuo's proposal to be the pastor of the state. Dong Zhuo has a good relationship with the Ten Standing Attendants...... We just need to provoke from it, so that this battle between tigers and wolves will be more violent, and we will naturally be able to reap the power of the fisherman! ”

"Uncle is really smart!" When Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu heard this, they couldn't help but admire.

……

General's Mansion, Study.

"My son, you don't let this man use it, and that person doesn't let you use it, who do you let your father use?" The general He Jin sat at the top of the study with an angry face and complained.

He Jin now has no more advisers than Chen Lin, and no more than Wang Kuang as a general, and only these two people are not persecuted by He Xian, who is paranoid. It's really strange that the dignified general wants to do something, but he can't find a competent subordinate.

He Xian didn't want to do this either, but look at the talents He Jin has collected over the years: Yuan Shao, Yuan Shu, Yuan Yi (Yuan Kui's son, Yuan Shao's cousin), three Yuan generals; He Yan, Zhang Miao, and Feng Ji, three staunch Qingliu party members...... Looking at this list, He Xian had an urge to cry. Under such a command, He Jin can't stand so many "moles" if he is not destroyed in minutes.

But what He Jin said is also true, if you want to grasp more power, you can't do it without talent.

"Or, issue a recruitment order to recruit talented people from all over the world?" He Xian proposed.

"No!" Guo Jia was the first to jump out and veto, "Didn't General Zhonglang feel that after the new emperor ascended the throne, he was already deliberately alienating the general?" ”

As soon as he said this, He Xian's head hurt even more. I think that at the beginning, before ascending the throne, Liu Wei called one big brother after another, and now, after ascending the throne and becoming the emperor, Liu Wei didn't know where to get the emperor's mental skills, and began to play the game of balance and balance. He Xian has the heart to be loyal, but the emperor has no intention of trusting, and it is really the ass that decides the head. When Liu Wei regarded this world as his own, he was naturally unwilling to trust anyone with all his might.

He Xian has now moved to the right guard general, responsible for the reconstruction of the fifth school of the Northern Army. It seems that the official position has been raised to another level, but in fact, it is out of the Nangong Palace, and the distance from the emperor is even farther away. And the actual men and horses under his command were only 2,000 people who were transferred from Wei Yan, the captain of the military academy.

Nowadays, the biggest celebrity in front of the new emperor is the emperor's uncle Liu Hong, who was transferred from Zong Zheng, who handled the internal affairs of the imperial family, to Guangluxun, who was in charge of all the power of Nangong. Lu Fengxian, who had no nepotism, was transferred to the rank of general of the five officials, the marquis of the pavilion of the capital, and the first forbidden army of Nangong. Cao Cao, who has an ambiguous position and has a relationship with all forces, and seems to be the most loyal to the emperor, was transferred to Zuo Zhonglang General. has no position, it seems that Bao Hong, a military general under the command of Zhang Wen, a lieutenant of the imperial party, is a general of Yulin Zhonglang.

At the same time, in order to balance the power of the Qingliu party, the new emperor appointed Yuan Shao as the right middle general, Yuan Shu as the tiger ben middle lang general, and Bai Huang Fu Song as the right car riding general.
