Chapter 15: Promotion
The next day, Jiang Feng was woken up by a rooster for the first time in his life. When the pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info came to Dong Zhuo's mansion, he learned the news that Yuan Shao had left overnight. Not only that, but even Yuan Shu ran away together, these two brothers are worthy of being born to the same father, the same stupid and timid. As a result, there is no longer a force in Luoyang City that can compete with Dong Zhuo.
Jiang Feng wanted to propose several times that he should take over the Xiyuan Army, but he finally endured it. In the end, Dong Zhuo asked Li Ru about this matter, and Li Ru's suggestion was to choose the best among the ranks of the Luoyang Army, regardless of their origin, but to use them for those who are loyal and powerful, so that they will be able to encircle the Xiyuan Army.
With Li Ru's advice, Jiang Feng could only dispel this idea, it seemed that the Xiyuan Army had no hope.
After a few days like this, Jiang Feng went to Dong Zhuo's mansion every day to say hello. Dong Zhuo is still very close to Lu Bu, and often leaves Lu Bu to eat in his house.
Now Lu Bu is basically playing the role of Dong Zhuo's personal guard, and Dong Zhuo is escorted by Lu Bu on the way to the court every day. However, in fact, all the guards in the palace are Dong Zhuo's cronies, unless they have the determination to die, otherwise no one dares to touch Dong Zhuo.
What's more, although Dong Zhuo is no longer as brave as he used to be, he is tall and powerful, even if Lu Bu no longer has a blade, he will not be able to kill him for a while. What's more, Lu Bu is now only a state master, and he does not have an official position in the central government, and he does not even have the qualifications to go to the court.
However, today Jiang Feng came to the door of the Chongde Hall of the palace hall, although he was not allowed to go to the palace, he could still see the situation inside.
Coming to the palace for the first time, Jiang Feng had to marvel at the extravagant enjoyment of the ancient royal family again. followed Dong Zhuo all the way through the end gate and came straight to the front of Chongde Palace. As far as the eye can see, the layout of the palace building is neat and orderly, the pavilions and pavilions are lined up one after another, grand and magnificent, and between the palaces and pavilions, there are many armor and servants.
Jiang Feng had only seen such a huge complex in the Forbidden City in Beijing, but he never imagined that there would be such a majestic palace complex in Luoyang nearly 2,000 years ago. Compared with the chaotic feeling of tourists when visiting the Forbidden City. It gives people a kind of orderly majesty, a kind of supreme respect for the royal family.
When the civil and military officials went to the court, the young emperor Liu Wei sat tremblingly on the dragon chair, and there was a curtain behind the dragon chair, and the Empress Dowager He was sitting inside. Emperor Ling died prematurely, and Liu Wei was still young when he succeeded to the throne, so the Empress Dowager He listened to the government in the court, so basically the power of state affairs was in the hands of the Empress Dowager He.
However, after He Jin's death, the Empress Dowager He was just a puppet, the Empress Dowager and the Young Emperor were just the ones in power on the surface, and the actual control was already in the hands of Dong Zhuo.
The hundred officials knelt on both sides of His Royal Highness and saluted the young emperor, only Dong Zhuo sat on the Hu bed, and bowed slightly. It seems that it is more like a hundred officials saluting Dong Zhuo, and Dong Zhuo returning a salute to a hundred officials.
After everyone finished saluting, Dong Zhuo stood up and smiled, and said to Yuan Kui beside him: "Master Taifu, is there a book to play today?" ”
Yuan Kui sighed, turned his face sideways, and didn't look at Dong Zhuo. Situ Wang Yun also shook his head and did not speak.
Dong Zhuo's face turned cold, and he snorted heavily, and said, "Do you bow to the ministers?" ”
The people below naturally knew Dong Zhuo's thoughts, but no one was willing to speak for Dong Zhuo, Dong Zhuo was furious in his heart, and was about to speak, but he heard Lang Zhongling Li Ru say in a loud voice: "The minister has the power to play." ”
Dong Zhuo saw that it was Li Ru who spoke, but he didn't continue to ask, and slowly sat down on the Hu bed.
After a while, I heard Liu Wei's timid voice say, "Aiqing, please speak." ”
"Yuan Shao, a lieutenant of the Chinese Military Academy, was sick because he was not accustomed to the water and soil of Luoyang, and he went home because of his resignation. Captain Yuan is known for his ambitions, loyalty and patriotism, and is a model for his courtiers. The minister implored His Majesty to grant Yuan Shao Bohai Taishou to show the court's courtly court's courtly corporal heart. ”
Liu Wei looked at Dong Zhuo and saw that Dong Zhuo didn't speak, so he paused word by word: "Since the matter is as the Qing family said, then give, Yuan Shao, Bohai, Taishou." ”
"The minister still has something to do." Li Ru continued.
"Aiqing, please speak." Liu argued.
"Bingzhou assassinated Shi Ding Yuan, committed a rebellion with the intention of rebellion, and has now been killed by Lu Bu, the chief secretary of Bingzhou. The minister implored His Majesty to crown Lu Bu as the commander of the cavalry and the general of Zhonglang, the marquis of Duting, and take charge of the state army. ”
None of the civil and military officials present refuted, and Liu Wei could only agree, saying: "Just according to what Aiqing said." ”
"Xuanlu Bu stepped forward to listen to the seal." As soon as the eunuch gave the order, Lu Bu had already been waiting outside the hall for a long time.
Jiang Feng was a little apprehensive, the first time he was added to the knighthood, he didn't expect his mood to be like this. Walking into the main hall from outside the hall, under the gaze of hundreds of civil and military officials, this should be the first time that Jiang Feng has attracted so much attention.
"Chen Lu Bu greets Your Majesty." Jiang Feng saluted respectfully.
At this time, the bow is necessary, although Jiang Feng hates kneeling very much, but after all, there is candy to eat. Riding the lieutenant and the lieutenant general are all official positions of more than two thousand stones, giving money and food.
What does it mean to be more than two thousand stones? The official positions of 2,000 stones are divided into three grades, from large to small, in order of medium, true, and ratio. It is the least of the first class than two thousand stones
In 2,000 stones, 9,000 yuan per month, and 72 meters in the month. The real 2,000 stone moon money is 6,500, and the meter is 36 hundred. than two thousand stones, five thousand dollars per month, and thirty-four hundreds. One Hu is about 27 catties, that is, a month's worth of Lu is 5,000 yuan, 900 catties of rice. Nine hundred catties of rice was equivalent to the output of more than ten acres of land at that time.
Dutinghou has a fief.
The rank of the title, everyone knows the king (duke), marquis, uncle, son, and male. In the Han Dynasty, there was no king with a different surname, so Hou was the highest title that a different surname could be canonized.
The marquis of the Han Dynasty was divided into four classes, the county marquis, the township marquis, the pavilion marquis and the guannei marquis. The first three are also known as liehous, and they all have their own fiefs, while the seunai marquis have no fiefs. Just like Guan Yu's Hanshou Pavilion Marquis and Lu Bu's Duting Marquis are of the same rank, the third rank among the marquises.
At any time, the name is still very important. With this position, he is superior, you see Liu Bei, although he is a straw sandals seller, it is because he can mix with a little royal family, everyone calls him Uncle Liu Huang, this is the name.
This kneeling, kneeling out of the current governor-level treatment, how can it not be worth it?
When he retreated, Dong Zhuo said to Li Ru with some dissatisfaction: "Why do you want to stop me from abolishing the Son of Heaven? ”
Li Ru said: "Don't be angry, now that the overall situation has been decided, isn't the abolition of the Son of Heaven easy?" However, there are still not a few people in the DPRK who are hostile to the lord, but they are secretly obscure and do not show it. The Son of Heaven is not the key to the matter, the key is to find out who is still opposed to the Lord Duke in this dynasty Chinese Wu. Just now, when the lord asked the master, I saw that Shangshu Lu Zhi's eyes were about to split, and he still had the intention of making a big fuss in the court. In my opinion, this person will not be used by the Lord, so why not get rid of him as soon as possible. ”
"Oh, you mean to ......" Dong Zhuo was also considering Li Ru's strategy.
Li Ru attached his ear to Dong Zhuo's side and whispered: "Lu Zhi is in the Shangshu, and if he is rashly removed, he is afraid of hurting the hearts of the scholars, and the lord can first make someone secretly pass on the news that the lord wants to kill Lu Zhi, and anyone who secretly colludes with Lu Zhi will definitely take action." At that time, the lord only needs to send someone to keep an eye on Lu Zhi's mansion, and when Lu Zhi escapes from Luoyang, he will send someone to hunt him down. In this way, it is not only possible to get rid of Lu Zhi, but also to find those who have different intentions, wouldn't it be the best of both worlds? ”
Dong Zhuo laughed and said, "You, you, you are really treacherous." ”
Jiang Feng was behind the two of them, and listened to the words of the two, but the last words Li Ru whispered to Dong Zhuo, Jiang Feng couldn't hear it, but he knew with his little finger that it must have been used to harm Lu Zhi.
Lu Zhi, Jiang Feng also knows a little bit, this person seems to be Liu Bei's teacher. He made a lot of contributions to the counterinsurgency campaign of the Yellow Turban Army, and now he is the official to the Shangshu, and he is a close confidant of He Jin. As soon as He Jin died, Lu Zhi would have no backer, and now if he wants to fight against Dong Zhuo, I am afraid that he will hit the stone with an egg.
Jiang Feng wanted to rescue this person, as the so-called enemy of the enemy is a friend, with Lu Zhi's qualifications and prestige, he would definitely be able to help him in getting rid of Dong Zhuo. At this time, if you can help him, it can be regarded as selling a favor to him. It's just that he is now Dong Zhuo's cronies, how to send a message to Lu Zhi, and how to make him believe it, still needs to be carefully considered.
Coincidentally, after the end of the early dynasty, Jiang Feng was going to the Mingguang Palace. The Mingguang Hall is close to the but not the hall, and it is the hall where Shang Shulang performs. In the Eastern Han Dynasty, it was a special office for Shangshu. There are six people in Shangshu, who are in charge of the affairs of the minister, the assassin, the official, foreign and ethnic minorities, and the Shangshu order and its subordinate members are all carried out in the Mingguang Palace.
Lu Bu had just been canonized by the emperor as the Marquis of Duting, the Commander of the Cavalry, and the General of Zhonglang, so he naturally wanted to report to the Mingguang Palace. Don't look at the emperor's palace is just a sentence, there are things to do below, such as making a book of naturalization, customizing court clothes, receiving seals, receiving the soldiers and horses under his control, and the distribution of Yulu.
A total of 700 sergeants were commanded under the cavalry commander, all of whom were cavalrymen, in charge of patrolling the imperial city and the emperor's travel honor guard. It's not big or small, and it takes a lot of time to explain it clearly.
Lu Zhi is one of the six Shangshu, and when Lu Bu came to the Mingguang Palace, he saw Lu Shangshu who was handling affairs here. Because at the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, the dynasty was gradually chaotic, and the princes in various places gradually had a tendency to support the army and stand on their own.
Jiang Feng thought about it, isn't this a good opportunity?
But after thinking about it, there are many people here, and Dong Zhuo's cronies are here, if they see it, wouldn't they put themselves in danger? Besides, with his current identity, I'm afraid Lu Zhi will find it difficult to believe in himself, so he temporarily dispelled his thoughts and concentrated on handling his promotion.
