Chapter 33 Xu County faces the monarch, the emperor's thoughts

Tian Jing handed over the soldiers around him to Zang Shun for arrangement, and they also needed to rest all the way to cultivate. Pen ~ fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info Tian Jing only took Li Kang, Leping, Ju Yan, and Chen Shuang to gallop and rush to Xu County.

When I arrived in Xu County, I saw that the city walls here were towering and heavily guarded. Tian Jing ordered someone to deliver the news at the door, but after a while, it was Li Dian who greeted him. Tian Jing had seen this person in Cao Cao's army, although this person is not famous now, but Yunwen Yunwu is a great general who can stand alone. Moreover, Li Dian was a famous Confucian general in Cao Cao's army, and it was easier to get close to people than other martial artists.

Tian Jing said with a smile, "General Li is a great talent like Han Xin, how can Gong Cao be willing to let the general guard the door here?" ”

Li Dian smiled politely, "The general of Zhengbei praised it falsely, the general's young age and the high position of the minister are exactly the example for me to follow." A few months ago, Hanoi Zhang Yang sent troops to attack Luoyang at night and burned the palace, so Cao Gong attached great importance to this city defense. Since Li Dian is the governor of Yingchuan, he naturally does not dare to slack off on the defense of Xu County. ”

Tian Jingxin said that Emperor Xian had not issued an edict to move the capital, so now Xu County is still the county seat, and the guards handed over to Li Dian will naturally be smoothly completed, but in this way, the guards of the entire Xu County will not be able to intervene in any means. Tian Jing smiled, "Captain Li has worked hard, in this way, I may enter the city, I am about to enter the palace to face the saint, but I don't know the layout of the city, the general may send someone to lead the way for me." ”

Li Dian smiled, "This is self-serving." He chose a clever soldier to lead the way for Tian Jing.

Tian Jing followed the man to the palace, and asked seemingly unintentionally all the way, "The emperor has only been in Xu County for a few months, how did the palace be built so quickly." ”

The man hurriedly replied, "The general doesn't know, since the emperor changed the Yuan to Jian'an, General Cao has ordered people to build a palace here, not only the palace, but also the residences of hundreds of officials in the city, the residences of the common people, and the street markets have been prepared since then. ”

Tian Jing secretly said in his heart, this Cao Cao's scheming is not deep, it turned out that although he opposed the successful move of the capital that day, Cao Cao had already had a way to let Emperor Xian move the county. Tian Jing asked again, "Then who is in charge of the guards of the palace now?" ”

The soldier hurriedly replied, "Now the palace guards are under the command of Cao Ang, the general of Yulin Zhonglang. ”

Tian Jing said in his heart, since the city defense has been controlled, how can he fake the affairs of the palace guards to others. I should have guessed such an ending without asking.

Tian Jing and others arrived at the gate of the palace and found that the palace gate here was very magnificent, and the splendor was not inferior to the Luoyang Palace in its heyday. Tian Jing asked the guards to report, saying that he had something important to see Emperor Xian when he returned to his hometown and province.

After the guards reported to him, he offered Emperor Xuantian Jing to see him in a short time. Tian Jing asked Li Kang, Ju Yan, and Chen Shuang to wait outside the palace, and ordered Leping to inquire about the residence of Taiwei Yang Biao in Xu County, and he went with Xiaohuangmen to see Emperor Xian.

Seeing the emperor, Tian Jing made a big gift. When he raised his head, he saw that Emperor Xian was more energetic than before, Tian Jing hurriedly said, "The minister has been away for several months, and every time he thinks about the busy affairs of the court and China, he is always worried about whether His Majesty can cope with the crisis in these four weeks. ”

Emperor Xian smiled, "Why did you pat my ass upside down." Come on, come on, sit down and talk, and tell me how your trip to the north is going. ”

Tian Jing told how he met Yuan Shao and promoted the alliance between Jizhou and Youzhou, and then Yuan Shao betrayed the alliance to break Yijing and Gongsun Zhan died. However, he did not mention that he used the Montenegrin army to seize the grain and grass of the giant deer.

After hearing this, Emperor Xian said, "On the same day, Kong Rong came back and said that Yuan Shao was willing to be loyal to me, resolutely opposed Yuan Shu's claim to be emperor, and his willingness to enter the court as an official. I originally wanted to discuss with Cao Cao and ask him to give up his position as a general and become a prime minister, so that the two of them could jointly assist me. How do I know that Yuan Shao actually sent someone to collude with Hanoi to publicize and intend to rob the king's frame, originally I didn't believe it. When you say this, it seems that Yuan Shao is really a capricious villain, and I almost misbelieved him. ”

Tian Jing didn't expect Emperor Xian to come to such a conclusion, so he had to say, "Your Majesty, the matter of the attack on Luoyang, the minister is not in Beijing and does not know the situation at that time, but according to my speculation, this matter may not be Yuan Shao's doing?" ”

Xian Diqi said: "Why? ”

Tian Jing said, "First, Yuan Shao personally commanded the siege outside Yijing City at that time, but I was afraid that he would not have the time and energy to take care of Hanoi's affairs. Second, if it is really going to be hijacked, both Hanoi and Jizhou should be prepared, otherwise where will the holy driver be safe? Third, even if Yuan Shao deliberately colluded with Zhang Yang and wanted to plot Luoyang, he was afraid that it would be difficult to succeed without internal support. Otherwise, when they arrived in Luoyang, they would not be able to attack Jiancheng at all. So who should be inside? I have heard that except for a few junior officers in the ruling Jingo who opened the city gates and rebelled, no other people or forces responded. In my opinion, Yuan Shao conspired to capture Yi Jingjing and flew so big Zhou Zhang, but he wanted to attack Luoyang and rob the holy car so hastily, which is very unreasonable. ”

After hearing this, Emperor Xian also felt that there was some truth, "Then if it wasn't Yuan Shao, who was the mastermind of this matter?" ”

Tian Jing said slowly, "It depends on who can get the most benefits." ”

Emperor Xian didn't think about it before, but Tian Jing said that he could see it through as soon as he thought about it, and he couldn't help but take a breath of cold air. "You mean ......"

Although Emperor Xian never said, Tian Jing couldn't help but make it clear, "Cao Cao strongly advocated moving the capital to Xu County that day, but later the opinions of the hundred officials were not unanimous and the resistance was greater, so he gave up." But since then, Cao Cao has built the palace of Xudu, and even the mansions of hundreds of officials have been built, is it possible that Cao Cao can pinch and know that the soldiers and horses in Hanoi will definitely attack? In addition, after this incident, His Majesty moved to Xu County, and hundreds of officials also followed. The soldiers and horses who were originally in charge of Luoyang's city defense were all detained because of some rebellion, and they were all dismissed because of dereliction of duty. Now in Xu County, the city defense is Li Dian, the commander of Yingchuan under Cao Cao, and the palace ban is in charge of Cao Cao's eldest son, Cao Ang, and the life of the Son of Heaven is all in the hands of others, isn't Your Majesty worried? ”

Emperor Xian was silent at first, and only after a long time did he ask, "You said that Cao Cao is really harmful to my heart?" ”

Tian Jing hurriedly said, "Your Majesty, the ministers are not aimed at Cao Cao, but He Jin in the front, Dong Zhuo in the back, and Li Dao Guo Yan, which powerful minister is not authoritarian in the end, so that the imperial power is falling, and the decrees are all from the general and not Your Majesty." A lesson from the past, you must guard against it? ”

Emperor Xian nodded after hearing this, "Aiqing is a loyal minister, but what should I do for today?" ”

Tian Jing thought for a while and said, "Your Majesty, the minister rushed back from Jizhou, and only learned about the changes in the imperial court when he arrived in Luoyang. Now I'm in a hurry to enter the palace to see the driver, and I don't have time to think about it. I think Your Majesty can bargain with Cao Cao? ”

It's a little strange to offer the emperor, I don't know why.

Tian Jing hurriedly said: "The top priority now is to find a way to get back the right to guard Xu County. Now the guards Dong Cheng's men and horses are still in Luoyang, and the five schools of the Northern Army are also living around Luoyang. The way to want them to come back is very simple, that is, to promise Cao Cao to officially set Xu County as the capital, so it is logical to transfer these soldiers and horses back. However, Cao Cao may find an excuse not to hand over the defense, then it depends on the game between the two sides, and then let the Taiwei Yang Biao convene hundreds of officials in the DPRK and China to raise objections, and at the worst, the two sides will have to defend together, and each will arrange his own henchmen. That's the first step. ”

"The second step is to make a wish to Cao Cao, what suggestions he usually makes, play the table, and seal the documents of his cronies, as long as it does not affect the fundamental interests of His Majesty, all the edicts will be approved. In this way, both Chinese and foreign countries will think that Cao Cao is so powerful that even the Son of Heaven can't care about him. In this way, Cao Cao's subordinates will inevitably see Cao Cao's ambitions when the time comes, and there will always be loyal ministers who will ask Cao Cao to be punished. On the other hand, the more beautiful Cao Cao's date is, the more likely it will be to accelerate Yuan Shao's transportation of troops to Yanzhou. ”

"Third party, Your Majesty must now start to focus on cultivating talents, whether it is the backbone ministers of the court or the guards around Your Majesty, as long as you have the opportunity, you must find a way to recruit, and you must choose someone who is loyal to Your Majesty. In this way, if something happens in the future, Your Majesty will have someone to rely on. ”

Emperor Xian listened, "What Aiqing said is extremely true, I can't imagine that you and I are the same age, but you are more thoughtful than me." I have never had a reliable person around me to help me with advice, so it is better for Aiqing to stay in the center and share my worries. ”

Tian Jing smiled bitterly, "Your Majesty, the ministers are soft-spoken, and staying in the court is just an ornament, and how many people will listen to me." But if I am outside, I can grow and increase my military strength, so that Cao Cao's family will not be dominant. In the future, if Your Majesty is useful to me, you can also have one more help. His Majesty still relies more on Yang Biao, Dong Cheng and other adults in the affairs of the court, and with them, he will definitely find a way to balance Cao Cao's forces. ”

The two of them discussed the matter of their henchmen again, and Tian Jing left the palace. When I arrived outside the door, I saw that Li Kang, Leping, Ju Yan, Chen Shuang and other four people were still waiting, and my heart warmed, you guys haven't eaten yet, let's go to Captain Yang Biao's mansion to ask for a meal.

When he arrived at Yang Biao's mansion, because Leping had already greeted the mansion in advance, Yang Biao waited for Tian Jing without dinner. Is this Yu Gong Yang Biao and Tian Jing in the same hall and older than Tian Jingguan There is no reason to wait for him, but Yu Zhi Lu Wen is Yang Biao's righteous daughter, and she can be regarded as Tian Jing's father-in-law, and it is reasonable for her father-in-law to wait for her son-in-law to eat.

Yang Biao arranged wine and food for Li Kang and Le Ping to be accompanied by the housekeeper, and he and Tian Jing had dinner in his study, and the two chatted while eating, and Tian Jing told Yang Biao what he had seen and heard all the way and what he said to Emperor Xian when he entered the palace today.

Yang Biao was a little worried when he heard this, and said, "Virtuous nephew, it's not the old man who said you, you are a little reckless in today's matter." If you had come to the old man first, you would not have said such a thing rashly. You don't know that Your Majesty has also changed a little now, he has his own mind, and he may not be able to listen to what others say. Since moving to Xu County, seeing the grandeur of the palace, the emperor is overjoyed. Because he had suffered too much before, now that his life is better, Emperor Xian is very satisfied, and Cao Cao is very respectful to him, and after arranging many ministers through the Yulin Army, Emperor Xian is very happy. What's more, I heard that Cao Cao intends to marry his daughter to Emperor Xian, and Cao Cao will be the ruler in the future, how can you make Emperor Xian believe that Cao Cao will be unfavorable to him. ”

Tian Jing heard the sound of chopsticks on the ground here, he really looked at the emperor as simple, and always thought that he would believe whatever he said about the emperor with loyalty. And now Emperor Xian obviously has a different opinion on his words, at least with reservations, but he puts on an expression of complete belief in himself. It seems that the scheming of Emperor Xian is far-reaching above himself, and his performance is a little too obvious.

But who knows that Cao Cao is a traitor from the beginning of the later generations, hey, that's it, whatever he does, he will run Hedong well first. Tian Jing thought of this and poured three glasses of wine into his stomach, and then the ninja suppressed the dissatisfaction in his heart. But because of Yang Biao's words, Tian Jing was so worried that Tian Jing was so worried that Tian Jing didn't listen to many of what Yang Biao said later. Tian Jing was drunk, rested in Yang Biao's mansion for the night, and went back to Hedong early the next morning.
