Chapter 0232: Gongsun Du's Ambition
Gongsun Han felt a crisis, a strong crisis.
Gongsun Yu and Gongsun Wen, as well as Yi Yimo, their words and deeds today made Gongsun Han feel very sad. In the case that Liaodong has not yet been stably occupied, there has been a struggle for power and profit. Could it be that in their eyes, he is such a power-hungry and selfish person?
How much ability Gongsun Yu and Gongsun Wen have, he, who is an elder brother, knows that if the Liaodong army is handed over to them for command, it won't be long before there will be problems. This spring, their 50,000-strong army was ambushed and annihilated by Li Yi at the Fuli River, which is a clear example.
But what reason do you have to take the manager's position? Didn't he also be caught off guard by Li Yi in the case of a big victory and fled in embarrassment?
………………
After the meeting, Yang Jun quickly returned to his big tent.
Seeing Yang Jun coming back, a young man in the tent stood up and asked a little anxiously, "Big brother, what's going on?" ”
This young man was none other than Yang Jun's younger brother Yang Yi. There are also two people in the tent, who are Sun Chen, the Taishou Gongsun of Xuansu County, and his number one henchman, Gongsun Du.
Yang Jun explained the controversy that happened in the big tent just now. In the end, he shook his head helplessly and smiled: "I didn't expect that at a critical time, Gongsun Lei spoke." It was really unexpected to let Gongsun Yu sit in the position of the handsome man today. Gongsun Han took the initiative to let Xian, which was also very surprising. Doesn't he have any intention of being the commander of the army? ”
Gongsun Du shook his head and said, "Gongsun Han is scheming, and it is difficult for us to guess his true intentions. We originally expected to provoke Gongsun Yu by supporting Gongsun Han, and Gongsun Yu would deal with him, but now that Gongsun Yu is a handsome man and is in a good mood, he will not deal with Gongsun Han for the time being. ”
Gongsun Chen smiled and said, "He Boqiu has arrived, let's hear what he has to say?" ”
Yang Jun asked in surprise: "But what is the head of Sikong Mansion?" ”
"Yes. He's just been here in disguise. Gongsun Chen said, "In the old days. Liu Yi once studied under his school. ”
Yang Jun asked suspiciously: "As the governor of Sikong Mansion, he has so many things, why did he suddenly come to Liaodong?" ”
Gongsun Chen and Gongsun Du glanced at each other, and the two smiled without saying a word.
Yang Yi said: "Envoy, Brother Shengji, my eldest brother is not an outsider, let's make things clear to him, so as not to make mistakes when he makes plans." ”
"Then you tell Boliang, I'll pick up He Boqiu." Gongsun Chen smiled and walked out of the tent.
Yangyi looked at Gongsun Du, and Gongsun Du frowned slightly. After thinking about it carefully, he said, "Brother Boliang has been leading troops outside recently, and many things are not clear. We've only just gotten together, and we haven't had time to talk to you in detail these days. Some time ago, former General Li Yi instigated the current day to launch an operation in Luoyang and the Kwantung region to arrest and raid officials implicated in his murder. The scope of this action was very large, and the forces of the government and the opposition had their sons and daughters arrested, the government and the Chinese government were traitors, and the power of the bureaucrats and relatives of the clan was weakened to varying degrees. At this time, the Son of Heaven relied on Li Yi's strong soldiers and the excuse of tracking down and assassinating his comrades. Quickly cultivate the power of the clan, establish another lieutenant, and gradually form a new force. ”
Yang Jun's expression was serious, and he twisted his beard and said, "Where does the saying Shengji come from? What basis do you have? ”
Gongsun Du said in a low voice: "He said it." I heard that the Son of Heaven suddenly launched this operation in Luoyang. It was carefully planned in advance, and the matter was concealed from beginning to end, and it was carried out very quickly and decisively, and none of the hundreds of officials involved in the murder escaped the net. The Son of Heaven did this. relied on three people, one was Li Yi, who provided evidence of corrupt officials and strong strength. One was a group of clan members such as Guangluxun Liu Yu and Weiwei Liu Ting, who helped the Son of Heaven control the northern and southern armies, and the other was Zhongguan Xiaohuangmen Jianshuo, who presided over the entire arrest and raid operation. For such a big matter, all the forces in the DPRK and China, especially the central attendants in the palace, did not know anything, which shows that this force in the hands of the Son of Heaven is already very powerful. ”
Yang Jun groaned and asked slowly, "What does this have to do with us?" ”
"It seems that this really has nothing to do with our Liaodong." Gongsun Du paused for a moment and continued, "He Yuanjun said that the Son of Heaven has always loved the little prince Liu Xie. The little prince is talented, well-behaved and obedient, and his personality is also very docile. The eldest prince Liu Wei was naughty and rude, arrogant and domineering. The Son of Heaven did not like him and even expressed his dislike for him in public. ”
Yang Jun was taken aback. This kind of thing involving the struggle for imperial power is generally very bloody, and it is better not to provoke it. He had already heard the meaning of Gongsun Du's words.
"The Son of Heaven intends to abolish the throne?" Yang Jun asked in a low voice.
"I don't know." Gongsun Du shook his head and said, "But the queen and the general, as well as the traitors in the palace, are very worried about this. ”
"How can the eunuch and the general get together?" Yang Jun asked in surprise.
"I heard He Yuanjun say that Empress He's sister married the adopted son of Zhang Rang, a regular servant in the middle of the year, and the two are relatives and have a very close relationship, so in the palace, the queen and the eunuchs are all one party. Although the general is at odds with the traitors, in terms of personal relationship, he and Zhang Rang are extraordinary. Behind closed doors, they are all a family, one is prosperous, and the other is lost, and when it comes to this kind of thing that is worth their lives, of course they have to join forces. For the sake of their own lives and the lives of their clans, and for the sake of prosperity and wealth, they must take precautions. In the future, if the little prince succeeds to the throne, imagine, the queen and the eldest prince, the general, and Zhang Rang and a bunch of eunuchs, how can they have a chance to live? ”
"In the past, the Son of Heaven was deceived by treachery and eunuchs inside, and was constrained by the bureaucrats of the clan outside, and the general held military power, so he didn't dare to say it even if he had this idea. But now it's different. It can be seen from the arrest and murder of Li Yi that although the strength in the hands of the Son of Heaven is not enough to abolish the throne, he can completely encroach and devour all kinds of opposition forces step by step, so as to reach the point where he completely grasps the authority and does whatever he wants. ”
Yang Jun was horrified in his heart, and asked in a low voice, "So, now that the Son of Heaven has begun to do this?" ”
"That's what the general said." Gongsun Du nodded slightly and said, "The most threatening force in the hands of the Son of Heaven is the former general Li Yi, Li Yi, as a former general and Youzhou pastor, controls the entire Youzhou, and has 100,000 soldiers under his command, and the power is too strong. As long as Li Yi is eliminated, the power in the hands of the Son of Heaven will be vulnerable. If the Son of Heaven doesn't have the strength, he can't do whatever he wants, so the matter of abolishing the heir is also a suspicion. As a result, everyone was able to keep each other safe and sound. ”
"If you want to kill Li Yi, you still have to rely on us Liaodong people, right?" Yang Jun asked suddenly.
Gongsun Du smiled and said: "There are more and more people who are rebelling in Liaodong, and our strength is getting bigger and bigger, what will Li Yi do to destroy us?" He was in Liaodong, and he was either defeated by us, or he worked in vain, and in the end he was a dead end. If Liaodong can't be pacified, how can the Son of Heaven protect him? Without an army, without strength, what will the Son of Heaven do to protect him? As soon as he died, the general personally conquered Liaodong, and we were appeased and surrendered. Then everyone should be promoted, and those who should be rich will be rich. A good thing. ”
Yang Jun said: "I've been wondering why the envoy promised me that he could at least guarantee that I would be a county prince in the future, and it turned out that I had a relationship with the general." You've been hiding it from me for a long time......"
"Where to hide, just don't have time to tell you." Gongsun Du said with a smile, "We must let Mr. sit in the position of the marshal as soon as possible to ensure that the development of the situation is completely controlled by us and there will be no accidents." ”
Gongsun Du then said very cautiously: "Whether it is Gongsun Yu or Gongsun Han, if either of them is a big handsome, it may bring us unexpected trouble. Especially that Gongsun Yu, he is a miscellaneous beard, and he doesn't want to be appeased and surrendered at all, so we have to get the position of this handsome man as soon as possible no matter what. ”
Yang Jun nodded again and again, and said, "Indeed, indeed, Shengji, you are right, this matter should be done as soon as possible." By the way, this He Hao He Boqiu is the world-famous party member? ”
Gongsun Du exclaimed: "It's him." This person is very remarkable, he was famous when he was in Taixue, and the famous scholars Guo Tai, Jia Biao, and Chen Fan and Chen Taifu at that time all had friends with his peers. This person is righteous and famous. He had a friend named Yu Weigao, whose father died of illness before revenge. After burying his friend, he drew his sword and went to kill his friend's enemy, and then brought his head as a sacrifice. When the imperial court arrested the party, because of his many friends, he almost never encountered any danger. He boldly entered and exited the Beijing Division, drank and fenced in the mansion of the gatekeeper, and planned several actions to rescue the party. After hearing that the ban was lifted by the party, he was invited by the general to serve in the palace. ”
Yang Jun asked suspiciously: "As far as I know, He Hao has a good relationship with Li Yi's grandfather, Li Ying and Li Yuanli, how could he deal with Li Yi this time?" ”
Gongsun Du nodded and said, "Indeed, He Yuanjun has a very good relationship with Li Yuanli. But He Yuanjun is a person who is loyal to the court and loyal to righteousness, he can see that Li Yi is ambitious and not a good person, especially this time Li Yi's perverse behavior in Liaodong, which made He Yuanjun feel disturbed in his heart, worried that his old friend's reputation would be tarnished, so he decided to get rid of Li Yi and keep his old friend's reputation. ”
Yang Jun praised the festival: "Sure enough, he is a righteous person!" He Zhijun's move can be regarded as a righteous annihilation, Yang Jun admires! ”
He looked at Gongsun Du and suddenly asked, "Brother Shengji, haven't you always opposed going against Li Yi and the cavalry rebellion?" Why did you figure it out again and raise the flag behind Gongsun Envoy? Aren't you afraid of insulting your ancestors? ”
Gongsun Du waved his hand and said angrily: "The reason why I didn't do that with you last time was just because I knew that you had no chance of victory, not that I wouldn't go against Li Yi." As for the rebellion, when I became a general, dominated Liaodong, and guarded the northern frontier for the Han Dynasty, who would dare to say that I was a rebel? Dare to say that I have insulted my ancestors? ”
Yang Jun laughed loudly. (To be continued.) )
