Chapter 105: Liu Jin loses office
In the autumn and July of 184 A.D., Zhang Jiao's army was defeated in Xindu, and the 500,000 army was lost, and only more than 500 horsemen were left to defend the lair giant deer.
Liu Jin, the governor of Jizhou, took advantage of this time to issue a military order to recruit the soldiers of various counties in Jizhou to gather in Xindu. However, because Lu Zhi had been requisitioned once before, Jizhou, the richest prefecture in the world, had also reached the point of exhaustion, and after ten days of emergency requisition, it was only more than 3,000 people who had only been recruited.
Just when Liu Jin was anxious about the alliance between Dong Zhuo and Gongsun Zhan, Luoyang City, the capital of the Han Dynasty hundreds of miles away, launched a conspiracy against Liu Jin.
Luoyang City, in the Linde Hall of the Imperial Palace, Emperor Liu Honggao sat on the dragon chair, and there were two eunuchs Zhang Rang and Zhao Zhong and more than ten palace maids and eunuchs standing on the left and right.
"Your Majesty, there are more than 100 people including Li Yang of the Dongjun Clan who sued the Governor of Jizhou, saying that when the Governor of Jizhou was in Dongjun, he relied on strong soldiers to plunder the Scholars. There is also a complaint filed by the general Gongsun Zan of Jizhou to change the military system without permission, which is really a disregard for the ancestral etiquette and law, and intends to rebel. He Jin, who was fat as a ball of meat, stepped out and said loudly with a wat board in his arms.
As soon as this remark came out, everyone was shocked! Who doesn't know, there was good news in Jizhou yesterday, His Majesty the Emperor is the time of Longyan Dayue, and even praised Liu Jin as a clan unicorn, a great Han pillar stone.
But none of the two things of He Jin are trivial, who are the scholars? The Shi clan was the Dingding hero of the Guangwu Emperor Liu Xiu and the Zhongxing Han. For generations, as long as the scholars did not commit crimes, the emperor would treat the scholars very favorably. And now, Liu Jin dares to openly rob the scholars, is this still worth it?
If the first thing can be explained as the urgency of the military situation, the matter is urgent. Then the second thing is absolutely intolerable.
The military system of the Han Dynasty was based on the Qin system, and for hundreds of years, no one except the emperor dared to change the military system. What is it? At worst, it's a rebellion.
Sure enough, as soon as Liu Hong heard this, he suddenly stood up from the dragon chair, his eyes widened, and he shouted angrily: "Is there such a thing? ”。
He Jin was just about to speak, but Zongzheng Liu Yu hurriedly stepped forward and said, "Your Majesty, whether this matter is true or not remains to be discussed. However, now the thief army is crowded, Jizhou is like a tired egg, Liu Dudu has just arrived in Jizhou for a few days, and he has already broken the thief army, which shows the heart of loyalty to the country! ”。 Liu Yu is very smart and knows that Liu Hong cares about military merit at this time and cares about his own world, so he doesn't dwell on this issue at all.
"Could it be that there is only one Liu Jin in my great man, and he can't fight habitually? Your Majesty, please also thoroughly investigate these two matters, one is to calm the people's grievances, and the other is to stabilize the morale of the army! He Jin glared at Liu Yu, and turned to beg Liu Hong again.
When Liu Hong heard this, he also felt that it was very right. He is also the king of a country, and there are countless generals under his hands, so is it possible that he can't find a few who can fight?
"The hussar general is reasonable, and he will pass on my will"
Before Liu Hong finished speaking, Liu Yu fell to his knees and said with a crying voice: "Your Majesty, this matter is all the words of the hussar general, and it is not enough to believe it. Liu Dudu is the son of the clan and has outstanding military achievements. Since the Yellow Turban Rebellion, Liu Du has supervised the expedition to Youzhou and the two thieves in Yanzhou, and galloped thousands of miles to help Luoyang, and the heart of serving the country with a fist can be shown to the sun and the moon. This time, he went into battle with an injury, and he went north to fight the first 500,000 troops of thieves, and such a good general is really the champion of His Majesty! ”。
As soon as these words came out, Liu Hong's next words could not be said. Who is Champion Hou? Champion Hou Huo Qubing was the most outstanding general under the account of Emperor Xiaowu, who fought for the country all his life and conquered the Xiongnu several times.
And Liu Yu compared Liu Jin to Huo Quai, and Liu Hong really didn't want to punish Liu Jin.
Liu Yu's meaning is very clear, Emperor Xiaowu can tolerate his crime of shooting and killing the young son of Fei General Li Guang Li Kang for the sake of a Huo Quai, is it possible that His Majesty will blame himself for Huo Quai, because he doesn't know what to do, isn't it clear that he is not as good as Emperor Xiaowu and can use people?
Liu Hong was not stupid, he immediately understood the meaning of Liu Yu's words, swallowed the words that came to his mouth, and sat on the dragon chair from the beginning.
As soon as Liu Hong sat down, Zhang Rang next to him came up and said softly: "Your Majesty, Zongzheng's words are good, Liu Jin can break hundreds of thousands of thieves with a mere 5,000 people, and this merit will no longer be under Huo Hu's cavalry."
This is the second time Liu Hong has heard someone praise Liu Jin so much today. Just yesterday, Liu Hong also personally praised Liu Jin for his Huo Qu's disease, could it be that he is going to behead his Huo Qu's disease today?
Thinking of this, Liu Hong was a little gloomy, so he asked Zhang Rang next to him: "Father, then according to you, what should be done about this matter?" ”。
He Jin at the bottom lowered his head and couldn't hear Liu Hong's reply for a long time, and he was also very anxious, so he hurriedly peeked and watched, and saw Liu Hong and Zhang Rang whispering, and hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, although this son has quite a lot of military achievements, it is an indisputable fact that he changed the ancestral system.
As soon as these words came out, Liu Yu and Zhang Rang were taken aback. These two people have the heart to cover Liu Jin, and what they rely on is that He Jin does not hold the handle in his hand. Thinking that Liu Jin would finish this battle first, and after Jizhou was pacified, no matter how big it was, it would be able to calm down the turmoil.
As he spoke, He Jin presented the letter signed by Gongsun Chan to Liu Hong, Liu Hong opened it and saw Gongsun Chan writing on the letter: "General Gongsun Chan Qi plays Your Majesty." In April of the first year of Zhongping, Liu Anbei garrisoned Yan County, and once helped Yan County form county soldiers.
Zhang Rang, who was next to him, kept staring at the letter, seeing that Liu Hong was getting more and more angry, Zhang Rang hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, there is a way to add to the crime, and there is no excuse." According to this letter, Liu Dudu is a county soldier for the reconstruction of Yan County. According to this point of view, Liu Dudu is really doing this for the country, according to the old slave, this Gongsun Zhan must have seen His Majesty rely on Liu Dudu as the pillar of the country, and he was not angry in his heart, so he made this false accusation."
This Liu Hong has always grown up listening to the words of eunuchs such as Zhang Rang and Zhao Zhong, and he trusts the words of the eunuchs very much. As soon as he heard Zhang Rang's words, the anger in his heart calmed down a lot, but for Liu Jin's private change of the military system, Liu Hong felt that there was still a need to deal with it, otherwise it would be difficult to give an explanation to the Manchu Dynasty and the people of the world.
"Father, Mother, although this letter is not credible, as far as the hussar general said today, I think it is also for my sake. There must be an explanation for this matter, I don't know my father. What a good plan does my mother have to solve my worries! Liu Hong asked with a frown.
As everyone knows, these two people are the backers behind Liu Jin. After so many battles, Liu Jin's military exploits were enough for the two to speak for him, in order to gain Liu Jin's allegiance.
The two eunuchs glanced at each other, nodded to each other, and Zhang Rang said: "Your Majesty, these scholars have been arrogant and domineering in recent years, and in order to avoid the resumption of the party's affairs, it is okay for Liu Dudu to kill them. As for the latter matter! The old slave felt that he could temporarily remove Liu Dudu from his position as the governor of Jizhou. General Zuo Zhonglang has received good news the day before yesterday, presumably he is already on the way to the north at this time, and General Zuo Zhonglang can take over the post of governor of Jizhou and have full authority to coordinate the pacification of chaos."
After Zhang Rang finished speaking and gave him a look, Zhao Zhong immediately took over the conversation and said to Liu Hong: "Your Majesty, the old slave and Zhang Changshi are the same. However, Liu Anbei is a rare general, and it would be a pity to abandon him as he did, so he could be ordered to listen to the account of General Zuo Zhonglang and assist General Zuo Zhonglang in recruiting and suppressing thieves."
Who will Zuo Zhonglang be? Huangfu Song, a famous general in the north, after the door, it was expected that he would be pressed on it, and Liu Jin would not be able to make any waves.
As soon as he thought of this, Liu Hong immediately stood up and shouted to the ministers: "I have already made a decision on this matter. Liu Jinnai is a clan and should be under the jurisdiction of Zongzheng's government, so the matter will be handed over to Zongzheng for thorough investigation. During this period, Liu Jin was removed from the post of governor of Jizhou, the position of general of Anbei was retained, and Zuo Zhonglang was temporarily left to listen to the account. Zuo Zhonglang took over Huangfu Song as the governor of Jizhou, and was fully responsible for the matter of requisitioning and suppressing thieves", as he spoke, Liu Hong turned around and left, he was not much interested in court politics, but more interested in women.
