88.Chapter 88: Chang'an Rebellion
Chang'an, meaning long-term peace and stability, that is, Xi'an in later generations, is the first of the four ancient capitals of China, and is known as the world's four ancient capitals together with Cairo, Athens and Rome. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
At the beginning of the establishment of the Eastern Han Dynasty, Liu Xiu, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, felt that Chang'an was seriously damaged and needed to transport a large number of materials from other places, which was very inconvenient. On the other hand, Luoyang is different, the geographical location is good, and the damage is not serious. Therefore, Luoyang was established as the capital of the Eastern Han Dynasty.
For the sake of differential treatment, Luoyang is called the eastern capital, and Chang'an is called the western capital.
The eastern capital of Luoyang has been destroyed by Dong Zhuo and burned to the ground, and the capital has been moved to Chang'an.
The whole Chang'an city is a slab earthen wall, the wall is eight meters high, and the wall base is 16 meters wide. It is divided into four city walls, each city wall is more than 5,000 meters long, and there are three city gates. The streets are wide and well-paved and well-planned. This was unthinkable at the time.
There are two famous palaces in the city, one is Changle Palace and the other is Weiyang Palace, which occupies half of the area of Chang'an City. Changle Palace is in the southeast, also known as the East Palace, which is dedicated to the residence of the Queen Mother, and Han Xin, the Marquis of Huaiyin, was poisoned here by Empress Lu. Weiyang Palace is in the southwest and is the place where the Han Dynasty's monarchs and ministers meet.
The Flying Tiger Army was stationed in the camp outside the east gate, and Cao Ang Mingle went into the city to ask Zhang Liao for instructions on his next move.
Le Jin soon came back and said that General Niu Jin could bring people into the city, while the Flying Tiger Army could only stay outside the city.
Cao Ang was immediately angry, his fists were clenched, the green tendons in his hands were exhausted, and he asked, "Why don't you let us in?" Do you look down on our Flying Tiger Army? ”
Le Jin hurriedly persuaded Cao Ang and said: "The general is calm and don't be impatient, General Zhang Liao still has a password, ordering the general to secretly send two hundred elite cavalry to fill the gap in General Niu Jin's cavalry, and temporarily serve as the forbidden army of Weiyang Palace." ”
Weiyang Palace Forbidden Army?
Could it be that Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty was imprisoned here? He and Niu Jin have the previous relationship, and they can secretly meet Emperor Han Xian at that time.
Cao Ang and Niu Jin glanced at each other, knowing that Zhang Liao ordered this, something big must have happened. The situation in the city is uncertain, but this trip to the troubled waters must be made.
"What about Miss Cai Wenji?" Cao Ang suddenly remembered this matter, when he arrived in Chang'an, it was not the same thing to always put beauties here.
"General Zhang Liao said that tonight the general personally sent Miss Wen Ji to the Cheqi General's Mansion, and the imperial servant was waiting for her there, and I also wanted to meet you."
"Who is the Imperial Servant?" Cao Ang was stunned for a moment.
It is true that the general of the chariot is Lu Bu, but who is a servant who appeared out of thin air? What is the relationship with Cai Wenji? If she was a person who coveted beauty, Cao Ang really wouldn't hand her over.
"The servant Yushi is Miss Wen Ji's father, if it weren't for the inconvenience of letting you send it to his house, he wouldn't have come over in person." Le Jin had a smile on his face.
"Well, I see." Cao Ang smiled awkwardly, and made an oolong by himself for a long time, and it turned out that the imperial history was Cai Yong.
Niu Jin patted his ass and said with a smile: "General Cao, who is all-round in civil and military affairs, will definitely be able to enter the eyes of the future old Taishan." ”
"Le Jin, you transfer Hao Zhao over, send two hundred of the most elite Flying Tiger Army cavalry, and follow Lord Niu Jin over." Cao Ang smiled "hehe", which was considered to cover up his mistakes.
"Yes, General!" Lejin quickly went out to make arrangements.
Thanks to General Cao's care along the way, Niu was grateful. If I have time, I will invite General Cao to have a few drinks, and don't refuse. Niu Jin said sincerely.
"Yes! Good! Cao Ang didn't bother to excuse himself in the face of straightforward people.
Niu Jin led a thousand horseless cavalry out of the camp and into the seemingly peaceful Chang'an City, but a big incident happened in Chang'an City.
There was an earthquake in Chang'an, although there was no landslide and ground cracking, but the ground also shook the mountains, which made people panic, and even Dong Zhuo was a little uneasy.
After entering the customs, Dong Zhuo had already lived in Chang'an, and built a "Long Live Wu" in Yixian County, west of Chang'an, where he could eat and drink for 30 years, crowned himself the title of "Taishi", and ordered the ministers to go to Dong's mansion to report their work.
Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty became a puppet and was imprisoned in the Weiyang Palace, guarded by heavy soldiers, and it was difficult for him to fly even if he planted his wings.
After Dong Zhuo became the Taishi, he would ask Emperor Han Xian to call him "Father Shang". Shang's father means respectable father, referring to Jiang Ziya of the Zhou Dynasty, who made the first contribution in the conquest of the King of Zhou.
Even Cai Yong, who he recommended, couldn't stand it anymore, and hurriedly dissuaded him: "In the past, Jiang Taigong assisted King Wu of Zhou to defeat the Daoless Yin Xuan, and was sealed in Qi by King Wu of Zhou. If you can pacify the eastern part of the country and return the capital to Luoyang, it is not too late for Emperor Xian to call you Shangfu. ”
Dong Zhuo dispelled this thought.
This time there was an earthquake in Chang'an, Dong Zhuo was a little weak-hearted, and the first one thought of Cai Yong and asked what caused the earthquake.
Cai Yong said at the time: "The earthquake happened because of the excess of yin qi, and he is the minister **** in the world." Dong Gong, you took a green cover car that only emperors can ride, which is a bit unruly. ”
There are many places where Dong Zhuo is not in line with the etiquette system, Cai Yong just persuaded Dong Zhuo through a trivial matter, and restrained Dong Zhuo through natural disasters and earthquakes, so that he died of his ambition to be the emperor.
Although Dong Zhuo was restrained and did not dare to cross the Lei Chi to offer the emperor to replace him, the Hanchen in Chang'an City surprisingly unanimously believed that Dong Zhuo was the only poison in the chaotic society.
Dong Zhuo abolished the old and established the new, poisoned the empress dowager, cultivated party henchmen, collected military power, and controlled the imperial court, which became the biggest hidden danger to the Eastern Han regime.
Wang Yun is one of them, and he knows that Dong Zhuo is ferocious and vicious, and the living beings are full of poison and must be removed. He quietly catered to Dong Zhuo, and in exchange for trust, he secretly wooed the officials of the DPRK and China.
Wang Yun recommended Yang Zan to exercise the power of General Zuo to control part of the forbidden army in Chang'an City. recommended Sun Rui, the ruling Jin Wushi, to serve as the Taishou of Nanyang, and ordered him to make his debut in Wuguan in the name of crusading against Yuan Shu, preparing to attack Dong Zhuo, but aroused Dong Zhuo's suspicions.
This Shi Sun Rui was the one who persuaded Wang Yun at the beginning, Wang Yun originally wanted to refuse Dong Zhuo to make him Wen Hou, but Shi Sun Rui said something: "The big thing has not been accomplished, you can't be rash." All the officials admire your integrity, and Dong Zhuo also favors you, why don't you do it! ”
Wang Yun had no choice but to transfer Shi Sun Rui back to Chang'an, and according to Dong Zhuo's wishes, he was promoted to servant.
The time for the murder of Dong Zhuo was not yet fully ripe, but Shi Sun Rui, Yang Zan and others were a little impatient.
"Last year, it rained heavily and flooded many dealers, and they starved to death. This year, there was another sudden earthquake, and people were displaced. This is all a hint from God that we must eradicate the scourge of Dong Zhuo as soon as possible, it is better to strike preemptively to prevent future troubles! ”
"Dong Zhuo is full of minions and heavily guarded, every time he comes from the Dong Mansion to the Weiyang Palace, he is guarded by heavy soldiers, and he is extremely powerful, and ordinary soldiers can't get close to him at all."
