Chapter XIII: A Fatal Pardon

"How can this be reasonable, this faint monarch last year, because Zhao Kaiju, the assassin of Jingzhou, raised Yang Qi, the Taishou of Lingling County, for the crime of falsely reporting his military exploits, chased him and dismissed him, but now he has changed his mind again.

Although Luoyang is an imperial city, the tentacles of the wealthy family have already infiltrated into all corners, and Lantai has just prepared the edict over there, but it has not yet been delivered, and the eunuchs of the wang clan in the Gaomen compound here have gathered together to discuss countermeasures.

What is the meaning of "stabbing history with rumors, 2,000 stones"? is the secretary of the imperial court, there can be no real evidence, as long as you hear a little rumor, you can report the governors of those states to assassinate the old man, as well as the ministers of the counties and countries.

You must know that in normal times, the emperor strictly prohibits such "rumors". As long as you hear about it, you can report it, first arrest the reported officials, and then talk about shuanggui, in this way, won't everyone in the world be in danger, won't everyone report it? Anyway, I don't ask to sit back. What is reverse sitting? Those who report untruths will be imprisoned according to the crime reported, that is, if you report the rebellion of others, and there is no substantiated evidence, you will be punished according to the crime of rebellion.

Therefore, this edict is really hurtful to the root for these wealthy families whose protégés are all over the world.

How many of the ministers of the world's wealthy land are not children of the family?

"Be careful."

Taifu Yuan Kui, who was frowning, looked at this young man and said coldly.

"Yes, uncle."

The said Lang is Yuan Shu, who is mixed with qualifications in the imperial court at the moment, and the officials and ministers in this hall are all children of the Yuan family, so he is so unscrupulous in making remarks.

"Third brother, this edict of the emperor is a sharp blade hanging over my family's head!"

Yuan Cheng, who was the general of Zuo Zhonglang at this time, was also the largest senior and backbone of the Yuan family today, so he naturally didn't care about the comments of the juniors, but this edict that pointed directly to the foundation of their family was a very headache.

After all, most of the assassins and county guards in the world are occupied by the children of the family, and there are at least a dozen people who have taken refuge in him on the surface, and they are the strongest reliance of the Yuan family's illustrious world.

"Why don't we delay the issuance of the pardon and let the Yellow Turban Thieves make trouble for a while?"

At this time, Yuan Yi, who was in charge of Chang'an Ling, hesitated for a while and suggested to his three elders.

"No, according to the information of the secret envoy, now Zhang Jiao's luck is gathering more and more after the breakthrough of Xia Quyang, and there is more and more precursor to breaking through the great grandmaster, we can't bet on whether he can break through in a short time, you must know that the great grandmaster is already very difficult to entangle, if he breaks through again, then we are ready to kneel and welcome him to stay in Luoyang City."

Zhang Jiao naturally couldn't bring greater benefits to these families, otherwise what was the difficulty of welcoming Zhang Jiao into Luoyang City?

You must know that they are a family, a century-old dynasty, a thousand-year-old family, and they are only loyal to the family and interests.

"Then speed up our steps, let Lu Zhi and Zhu Jun carry out the next step of planning after stabilizing the situation, and the edict will be delayed." Yuan Feng, who had closed his eyes and pondered for a while, slowly opened his eyes and said, "As for the pardon that will shake the foundation of the Yellow Turban Thief, don't stop it, they are a little out of control now." ”

The major families, who had almost the same strategy, made their own decisions before the emperor's edict was issued.

……

And without the procrastination of the family, this pardon of the Yellow Turban Army reached all parts of the hinterland of the Central Plains, so Zhang Jiao, the great sage and good teacher who was originally preparing to gather the crowd to wave the army in Luoyang City because of the momentum of the great victory, had to put down his plan and began to visit the battalions one by one in person to calm the hearts of the army.

Julu, this afternoon, he visited a large camp of great sages and good teachers, and he looked a little depressed.

Now the situation of the Yellow Turban Army is very unoptimistic, you must know that Julu is the base camp of the Yellow Turban Army, naturally the Yellow Turban Army here is even more loyal to him Zhang Jiao, even such a force is a little impetuous, and even a small number of people slipped away one by one, what about the Yellow Turban Army in the world? What is the situation now, which makes him Zhang Jiao irritable at the same time, and he has a trace of worry about the future of the Yellow Turban Army.

The small trend can be changed, and the big trend is irreversible!

A sound of footsteps sounded in the hall, and then a confused word came into Zhang Jiao's ears.

"Great sage and good teacher, is the majesty of this court so great?"

As one of Zhang Jiao's disciples, although Zhou Cang is not a commander, but he is quite capable of being appointed by Zhang Jiao to become a commander, and now the seventy-two commanders of the Yellow Turban Army, he is the only one who stays by Zhang Jiao's side, and he listens to Zhang Jiao's teachings every day, and he is still a little afraid of the power of this pardon.

You must know that this holy decree has not yet reached Julu, but just by relying on the word of mouth of those displaced people, it has caused so much damage to the Yellow Turban Army.

"The four-hundred-year-old Han Dynasty, the majesty is naturally in people's hearts, if it is not a last resort, how can I oppose the Han?"

Zhang Jiao's muttering reached Zhou Cang's ears, which made Zhou Cang's heart even more confused.

"However, since we have embarked on this path, if we don't open up a piece of joy for my Yellow Turban Army, how can I be a son of man! How can I be worthy of the ambitious man who threw his head and spilled blood for my yellow scarf! ”

A calm shout woke up the confused Zhou Cang, and then his eyes gradually became firm.

Yes, not for yourself, but also for your brothers, you have to work hard, even if it fails?

And how can we fail? Doesn't the success of Xia Quyang mean that the road to the future is still in your own hands!

"The disciple has been taught."

Zhou Cang, who arched his hand, was ready to retreat, and after savoring this intention, it was conveyed to the whole army to stabilize the army's heart.

But that's when it happened......

"Report, great sage and good teacher, General Deng Mao has led the army to arrive ten miles away from the city."

A long tone of the report made the two people in the hall instantly high, and after glancing at each other, Zhang Jiao shook his robe and ordered to Zhou Cang: "Go, go out of the city to meet our heroes.!" ”
