The Jianshuo Rebellion came to a complete end, the palace was completely settled, the first thing was to clean up the battlefield of the palace, and the second thing was to replenish the personnel of the guards of the two palaces. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

There are a total of 20,000 guards, 10,000 in the south palace and 10,000 in the north palace, and the guards participated in the rebellion, and more than half of the dead and wounded, so it is imperative that the personnel of the guards of the two palaces must be supplemented to protect the safety of the palace.

Especially in the North Palace, because Liu Bian is young and the power is in the hands of the Empress Dowager He, the security of the North Palace is much more important than that of the South Palace.

The guards are selected from all over the world and rotated once a year. According to the Han system, from the age of 20 (23 years old since Emperor Wu) to the age of 56, the male in the commoners had to serve two years of military service, one year as a military officer and knight in the county, and one year as a guard in the capital. At the end of each year, all the guards guarding the palace gate do their work, and in the first month of the following year, the palace holds a ceremony to dismiss all the more guards, and the emperor also participates in person. In the Western Han Dynasty, it was held in the Qutai Hall of Weiyang Palace, and in the Eastern Han Dynasty, it was in the South Palace.

There were 10,000 guards in Beigong, and after the Jianshuo Rebellion, there were only 5,500 left, and Cao Ju needed to select 4,500 people from all over the country to make up for the gap in the number of guards.

With the death of Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty, Jian Shuo died, and the military power was in the hands of He Jin, the significance of the existence of the Xiyuan Praetorian Guard was not great, and within a few days, He Jin issued an order in the name of the emperor to simply cancel the Xiyuan Praetorian Guard and merge it into the Northern Army.

Yuan Shao, renamed Guangluxun, was in charge of the Second Army of Qimen and Yulin, and was one of the Nine Qings.

Yuan Shu is still the general of the Tiger Ben, Cao Cao is named the candidate of the Northern Army, and Cao Ju is the guard of the Northern Army, so that almost all the troops in Luoyang City are under the control of the general He Jin.

"Hahahaha......"

In the general's mansion, the celebration banquet is underway, He Jin is definitely complacent, and he feels that the world is in hand, so he almost abolished his nephew and established himself as the emperor.

However, He Jin knew that his background was not good and his level was not high, so he didn't dare to have this idea at all, and he was just addicted to being in power before Liu Bian's pro-government.

He Jin raised the wine bottle and said loudly: "This time, the Jianshuo Rebellion can be pacified so quickly, all thanks to your merits, I salute you alone, and do it first." ”

Seeing that He Jin finished drinking the wine, Yuan Shao and the others immediately drained the wine from the wine bottle, and said in unison: "It was all caused by the great general Huwei, and the last general and others only did their best. ”

At tonight's night banquet, there were only four people, Yuan Shao, Yuan Shu, Cao Cao and Cao Ju, and none of the other civil officials were called, and the other generals were basically not qualified, nor were they He Jin's henchmen, and they didn't shout.

He Jin is a rough man, he doesn't like to drink with those literati, and he is not his specialty, so he likes to drink with military generals, especially Yuan Shao and others, who drink very boldly and very much to his liking.

Yuan Shao said with a smile: "General, now that the chaos has been calmed down, the general controls the power of the world's soldiers and horses, and the next step is only a hundred soldiers, and you can get rid of the eunuchs, clean the world, and make merits for a hundred generations." ”

He Jin listened and frowned, it was not that he didn't want to kill Zhang Rang and the others, but that Queen He remembered that it was Zhang Rang and others who helped her to ascend to the throne of the queen, so after Jian Shuo died, Zhang Rang and the others went to beg Queen He, begged Queen He for protection, and did not let He Jin kill them.

He Jin was originally a soft-eared man, and after listening to Queen He's words, he immediately hesitated, and did not immediately remove Zhang Rang and the others. Moreover, Guo Sheng, one of the ten permanent servants, is a fellow villager with He Jin, and the two have an old relationship, after breaking through the North Palace, He Jin also showed mercy and did not kill him and Zhao Zhong.

Seeing the hesitation on He Jin's face, Cao Ju sneered in his heart, a butcher is a butcher, he has no foresight, he listens to the woman's words, and he will not lose money if he dies at the hands of eunuchs in the future.

Cao Cao also said: "General, the original words are very good, hoe rape must be decided immediately, otherwise, it will be harmed in the future, please make a decision as soon as possible." ”

Yuan Shu also said: "Please make a decision as soon as possible, don't hesitate." ”

He Jin's mind was shaken again, he turned his head to look at Cao Ju, and asked, "Canghe, what do you mean?" ”

Cao Ju smiled slightly and said: "The general has made a decision in his heart, and he does not dare to discuss his humble duties, and he also asks the general to forgive his sins." ”

He Jin waved his hand and said, "Canghe, you are my confidant, if you have something to say, it doesn't hurt to say it." ”

Cao Ju said with a smile: "In this way, the lowly position will be courageous." I thought that the person the general was worried about was the hussar general Dong Chong. ”

When He Jin heard this, he laughed and said, "Those who know me, Canghe." ”

Cao Cao's eyes narrowed, and he carefully tasted Cao Ju's words, and when he understood what was going on, he thought to himself, yes, Dong Chong is a hussar general, with heavy troops in his hands, and he is the nephew of the Empress Dowager Dong.

Yuan Shao's heart is very uncomfortable, every time Cao Ju can show the limelight, which makes He Jin pay more and more attention to him, it is estimated that it will not be long before He Jin will also promote him to one of the Nine Qings.

Kill Cao Ju?

Yuan Shao will not have this idea for the time being, not to mention that Cao Ju's martial arts are not weak, and there are three fierce generals around him, Dian Wei, Hua Xiong and Cao Peng, it is unlikely that he will kill him, and if he shows his feet, He Jin will not let him go.

Yuan Shao immediately said: "The general's worries are not unreasonable, the Empress Dowager Dong is in the palace, and Dong Chong is holding heavy troops in the Sili area, echoing each other from afar inside and outside, and the hidden danger is great. The general can issue an edict in the name of the emperor and let Dong Chong enter Beijing, so that one or two guards can capture and kill him. ”

Cao Cao immediately objected: "No, general, Dong Zhong is not at fault, and if you kill him rashly, you will lose the hearts of the people." ”

Yuan Shu sneered: "What is the heart of the people, as long as the emperor decrees, saying that Dong Zhong intends to rebel and wants to depose the emperor and establish the King of Bohai as the emperor, it is enough to kill him, and ask the general to make a decision as soon as possible." ”

Cao Cao shook his head and said: "No, Dong Chong's soldiers and horses have not been assembled, how can it be said that he is rebelling, besides, if this is the case, it should be the emperor's decree to announce Dong Chong's entry into Beijing, if he does not obey the edict, he can be convicted of rebellion." ”

He Jin's eyes lit up and said: "Yes, Meng De's words are quite reasonable, tomorrow I will let the emperor issue an edict and declare Dong to re-enter Beijing." ”

Yuan Shao laughed and said, "General, this plan is not appropriate. If Dong Zhong responds to his life, killing him will lose the support of the people, and if Dong Zhong does not die, it is tantamount to scaring the snake. ”

"This ......" He Jin was sick again, and he didn't know what to do, so he had to turn his gaze to Cao Ju and asked, "Canghe, what do you think should be?" ”

Cao Ju smiled slightly: "There is only one word for lowly duties: wait." ”
