Chapter 315: Hua Xin and the Three Princes
Chang'an, Wanle Palace. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
Although Dong Zhuo, who was planning to build Wanle Palace, has died, this palace used for government has not been renamed, or in other words, the ministers and civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty are not willing to spend their energy on this little thing at all.
After Dong Zhuo's death, King Situ allowed to lead the prime minister and presided over the government; Zhang Wen, who was still grinding in Jiuqing's seat, was also promoted to the position of captain; Uncle Dong Cheng suddenly rose up and grabbed the position of Sikong.
In short, after Dong Zhuo's death, the three princes and nine kings in the court and the civil and military officials, many people moved their seats under their butts.
However, after the beginning of spring, the imperial court, which was originally full of ambition and preparing for the Sanxing Dynasty, was gloomy and bleak.
Cao Cao fucking gave up Yanzhou and went west to Guanzhong.
If Cao Cao was just watching Luoyang and Tiger Prison Pass, but in recent days, Cao Cao's soldiers and horses have spied on the imperial capital Chang'an, and his wolf ambitions have been revealed.
In recent days, the atmosphere in the Manle Palace has been a bit oppressive.
The Son of Heaven, who is only ten years old, does not yet have the ability to pro-government, and most of the government is decided by the Three Princes and Nine Secretaries, but even though the Three Princes and Nine Secretaries have a high IQ, they are gloomy in front of Cao Cao's soldiers, and they can't think of any way.
The Son of Heaven didn't know what it was like, but the ministers of the Manchu Dynasty were arguing: move the capital, issue an edict to King Qin, or directly welcome Cao Cao into the court
The three princes and nine qing, who had already tasted the taste of power, naturally didn't want a second Dong Zhuo to appear on their heads so soon. Therefore, the topic of quarrel between the three princes and the nine secretaries went back and forth between moving the capital and the king of Xiazhaoqin.
During the quarrel, I saw a man of thirty years old coming out of the ranks, bowing to the Son of Heaven sitting on the dragon chair, and then bowing to the hundreds of officials around him, and said in a loud voice: "Your Majesty, my lords, and listen to a certain Huaxin." ”
Hua Xin, who was in the same door as Lu Zhi, Zheng Xuan and Guan Ning, originally served as the Taishou of Yuzhang County in Yangzhou, and when Sun's father and son sought to take Yangzhou, Hua Xin gave up Yuzhang County with the foresight and returned to Chang'an to take up his post.
After Dong Zhuo's death, the Manchu ministers and hundreds of officials were sharing the fruits of victory, but there was no place for Hua Xin among the three princes and nine secretaries.
Now, Cao Cao's soldiers are pointing directly at Chang'an, which makes Hua Xin see an opportunity.
"Dare to ask the princes, where should we move the capital when we move the capital?"
"No matter which state or county you move the capital to, you still have to fall into the hands of other princes, what is the difference between this and welcoming Cao Cao into the court?"
……
Hua Xin's first question made those ministers and officials who insisted on moving the capital speechless.
Indeed, the states and counties around Guanzhong have already been occupied by princes, and if the Son of Heaven and the hundred officials move the capital again, they can only just leave the wolf's den and enter the tiger's mouth.
Since Dong Zhuo, who among the princes in the world doesn't want to be Dong Zhuo's second?
I only heard Hua Xin continue: "As for the edict, summoning the princes of the world to lead the army to serve the king, this is even more nonsense!" Dong Zhuo Yinjian is not far away, and the princes can still think of summoning the princes and kings! ”
Hearing this, the guy who wanted to issue the edict to King Qin also died down.
It is true that most of the princes in the world have revealed their wolf ambitions, and now they are edicting the princes to be diligent to the king, but I am afraid that after Cao Cao is defeated, it will be easy to invite God and difficult to send God, and it will inevitably attract a second Dong Zhuo when the time comes.
After a long time, Wang Yun asked out loud: "Then according to Hua Shangshu's opinion, what should we do?" ”
Hua Xin bowed his head and bowed to the Son of Heaven: "Your Majesty, it is not advisable to move the capital, it will not work to summon the princes and the king, and the minister suggests that we might as well welcome Cao Mengde into the court." ”
"In this way, I think Cao Cao will also treat His Majesty well, and he will not be like Dong Zhuo......"
"Ugh!"
Hua Xin was happy to explain his opinion, and he might as well fly and smash something on his head.
"Shut up! You opportunistic, forgetful of profit, how can you be presumptuous in this court? You thief, you must be a spy buried by Cao Cao! ”
The one who was annoyed and angry was Wang Yun, who had just asked.
Although Wang Yun did not kill Hua Xin, he also drove Hua Xin out of the court. Wang Yun is in the position of Situ and receives the position of prime minister, and his words are the truth in the court!
In this way, today's court meeting naturally failed to negotiate any results, and the court meeting broke up unhappily.
……
That night, Situ Wang Yun's mansion, Taiwei Zhang Wen, and the new Sikong Dong Cheng were tasting wine with Wang Yun. Tonight is not a birthday feast, but these three justices are talking in secret.
"Wang Situ, above the court today, why is Situ angrily reprimanding Hua Xin?"
"As Hua Xin said, instead of moving the capital and issuing the edict to King Qin, it is better to open the city to welcome Cao Cao into the city!"
Zhang Wen asked puzzled while drinking a little wine.
Wang Yun naturally couldn't tell these two people that when Cao Cao assassinated Dong Zhuo that day, it was he, Wang Yun, who was behind the scenes and used Cao Cao like a fool. If Cao Cao is welcomed into the court now, can he still have a better time with Wang Situ?
So, Wang Yun didn't answer and asked: "Taiwei Zhang, if the foolish brother knows well, the virtuous brother should be Liu Biao's in-laws, right?" ”
"Isn't it like Brother Xian, let's move the imperial court to Jingzhou?"
"Instead of cheapening Cao Cao, let's give the court to Liu Jingsheng, okay, it's all the Liu clan, right?"
Hearing this, the wine glass in Zhang Wen and Dong Cheng's hands shook, and he almost couldn't hold the small wine glass.
Zhang Wen and Dong Cheng glanced at each other and felt that what Wang Yun said was indeed good.
Liu Biao is located in the six counties of Jingxiang, only one Changsha is occupied by the Sun family, and he wants soldiers and horses, he wants to have territory, and he has the ability to have Liu Biao. If the imperial court moves its capital to Jingxiang, at least for three or five years, there will be no more worries about someone plundering the holy car.
Of course, whether Liu Biao will be Dong Zhuo's second is not in the consideration of the third duke. Even if Liu Jingsheng wants to change the dynasty, Wang Yun and Zhang Wen will jump up to support.
After all, the meat is rotten, or is it in the pot of their old Liu family?
Zhang Wen and Liu Biao are in-laws, and this kind of good thing is naturally desirable; Although Dong Cheng is known as the uncle of the country, he is the maternal uncle of the first emperor, and in today's generation, the relationship between in-laws is naturally much weaker.
The three of them were exchanging opinions and interests, but there was already a sound of swords and soldiers in Chang'an City, and Wang Yun's housekeeper suddenly broke in.
"Lord, Taiwei, Sikong, just now a servant came to report, Hua Xin colluded with Captain Ximen to open the city gate, Cao Cao's vanguard general Xiahou Yuan has already led his troops into the city!"
This time, Wang Yun and the three of them were no longer calm, and the wine glass in their hands had already fallen on the table.
"Hua Xin! The wolf's ambition, the traitor seeks glory, and forgets the righteousness of profit, and sooner or later the true appearance will break your body into ten thousand pieces! ”
After Wang Yun was cautious for a while, he got up angrily, pulled out the long sword on the weapon rack, and slashed wildly in this guest house.
"Did Cao Bing kill Wanle Palace?"
"Is the Son of Heaven okay?"
Compared with Wang Yun's madness, Zhang Wen and Dong Chenghui came to their senses and asked out loud.
"Xiahou Yuan has just entered the city, and he hasn't had time to kill Wanle Palace yet!" The housekeeper reported truthfully.
"Wang Situ, we have to hurry to Wanle Palace and escort the Son of Heaven out of the city!" Zhang Wen roared angrily and called Wang Yun back to his senses.
Wang Yun held his long sword and suddenly said, "Yes, Son of Heaven!" ”
