Since returning to the old capital of Luoyang, Dong Cheng is responsible for guarding the palace, the Son of Heaven does not want to see Deng Ji, in addition to asking for money for hundreds of officials, and no longer summons, Deng Ji rarely takes the initiative to go to the palace to meet, looking like everyone has their own way.

Several times they met, Deng Ji had to recruit a black iron guard to accompany him into the palace, which made the Son of Heaven unhappy, and the anger in his heart against this Lord of the Sun was to the extreme, and he was the second Dong Zhuo, more hateful than Li Ji's generation, but his fate hung in the hands of others, and he didn't dare to endure it for the time being.

On the night of the election of soldiers in Luoyang City, Deng Ji was too busy to do anything, so the Son of Heaven secretly recruited Yang Biao to enter the palace after Dong Cheng served King Zhong Xuan, and said: "My brother is the late King Hongnong, and he is buried in the tomb of Zhao Zhongfu, the former servant of Zhao Zhong...... That's it! ”

I wanted to use the matter of King Hongnong as a reason, and I said the opening sentence, the Son of Heaven saved this matter The courtiers had discussed it the day before, and Deng Ji didn't accidentally put eyeliner in the palace, or because he was stingy with the Son of Heaven, he didn't even bother to insert eyeliner into it.

The five people in front of him are all trustworthy, and there is no one else in the hall, so there is no need to be as cautious as before.

Thinking of this, the Son of Heaven stopped his previous words with a "That's it" and asked directly: "Deng thieves are more rampant than Dong Zhuo!" Its support for the army is self-respecting, threatening the monarch to steal the authority of the country, privately changing the laws and regulations, and messing with the Han family, what do you think I should do? ”

How many days has it only been? How many days do you have to have a good birthday?

Deng Ji's thieves are hateful, and it is not easy for the officials, they have just settled down, fortunately, Luoyang has enough food, and he can make up for the arrears of wages for the Son of Heaven, so he can't rest?

After being questioned by the Son of Heaven, the five courtiers who could be called confidants were all silent, waiting for them to be silent for a long time. The Son of Heaven laughed at himself and sneered: "Deng thief has a fortune." I want to be happy. I shouldn't have said that, I'm wrong! ”

The five of them were so frightened that they knelt on the ground with a "poof", and said in unison: "The ministers are the courtiers of the Han family, and they should die by Your Majesty, how dare they be greedy for peace?" If you have this thought, heaven and earth will not tolerate it! ”

Yang Biao, who has expressed loyalty and has the highest status, said again: "The non-ministers do not share the worries for Your Majesty, but they are actually after the relocation of Luoyang." Deng thief put the courtiers aside, and the military and government of Henan were controlled by his cronies, and it was difficult to intervene, and the ministers did not dare to act rashly, so as not to affect His Majesty! ”

"Now that we have come to this, what are you afraid of?" The Son of Heaven said coldly: "I swear not to coexist with Deng thief!" Today, Luoyang has a lot of food and clothing, and I heard that Xi in the service is worried about Shaofu Tian Fen, Dasi Nong, Zhang Yi and others like to go to the folk view, if they don't plan early, the courtiers will no longer be Hanchen, and I am afraid that they will all turn to the Deng Thief's Mansion! ”

The Son of Heaven spoke sternly. refuses to compromise anymore, and it seems that there is no room for turnaround. Fu Wan is the father of the queen, so he took the lead and said: "The people of Henan only know that there is Deng Mu'an, but they don't know that there is Your Majesty!" Deng thief ruled for a long time, only established his own hope and eliminated the Han family, Henan Han owned, there is really no idea of the monarch in his chest, he should be punished! ”

After hearing this, the Son of Heaven was immediately overjoyed, turned to the old man and asked, "What is the plan of the national father?" ”

After finishing the funeral, he could only show his loyalty, and it was not his forte, so he was speechless, looking forward to the left and right, and the Son of Heaven began to be disappointed again, but Yang Biao said: "Deng Ji is perverse, but Tian Feng seems to have the heart to serve the country!" There should also be loyal ministers among his subordinates, and if His Majesty is kind to him, he can use them occasionally! ”

"Don't you remember the disaster of Li Dao and Guo Yan?" The court without power seems to be the easiest thing to think of is discord, but the Son of Heaven has only suffered from the rebellion of Li Guo and the two after the separation of the courtiers, and he has palpitations, shook his head and said: "If you are divided, I am afraid that there will be unforeseen disasters!" ”

Wang Fu then said: "In this troubled times, the generals are proud of their military achievements, and they are self-respecting, how vulgar this generation is, and it starts from cloth, does not learn poetry and books, it is difficult to know what loyalty is, if the power is as great as Yang Fenghan Xian's generation, it is really difficult to tame, so His Majesty has suffered the rebellion of Sanfu Hedong; If you don't take the generals, only the civil ministers, there should be no such thing! ”

In these words, he despised the generals, and he did not care that Dong Cheng was also present, but fortunately, Wang Fu himself was a martial artist, and the two had a very good personal relationship, so Dong Cheng was not very annoyed.

Dong Chengben was a subordinate of Niu Fu, and when today's biological mother was killed, he was raised by the Empress Dowager Dong, with the Dong family as a foreign family. Although Dong Cheng was attached to Dong Zhuo, because he was related to the Empress Dowager Dong, Wang Yun was exempted from crime when he was in power, and now there is a woman named a nobleman, and she is even reused by the Son of Heaven.

Hearing Wang Fu say that the military generals were insufficient, although Dong Cheng was not annoyed by him, he also argued: "Today, Deng Thief takes Jia Xu as the left military division, although this person is a scribe, but Li Guo's henchmen, there is no monarch father, and he can't be used without it!" ”

Feeling that they were reasonable, Yang Biao suggested to the Son of Heaven: "What General Dong said is very true, Jia Xu has no loyalty and is not available; In addition to Tian Feng, Deng Thief's new commission, Henan Taishou Tian Chou, Hanoi Taishou Du Ji Hongnong, Taishou Yang Li, His Majesty can add a reward, so as to try his meaning. If the Zhu Taishou rebels against Deng, there is still Hedong Taishou Wangyi who can be used as foreign aid, and the matter should be done! ”

That's okay, the Son of Heaven nodded in agreement, and asked: "What position do you think should be rewarded?" ”

Wang Fu replied: "Deng thief takes Tian Feng as his teacher, but Deng is the king and Tian is his minister, and the master and apprentice should be like father and son, how can there be a father under the son?" Your Majesty can use this as an excuse to worship Tian Feng as the third duke, and his master and apprentice will turn against him! ”

"That's a great plan!" Yang Biao clapped his hands and praised: "The three princes of the court, there is a shortage of Situ now, Your Majesty can choose one and reward Tian Feng!" If you can't make Deng Ji suspicious, Jia Xu should also be jealous! ”

The Son of Heaven was finally satisfied with such a plan, and asked: "Tian Chou Du Ji Yang Li's generation, who should be rewarded?" ”

Yang Biao replied: "As much as possible, I am afraid that Deng Thief will not be beautiful, it is better to only give him a title!" ”

"In this way, the three Taishou sealed by Deng Mu'an can all be the marquis!"

A few monarchs and ministers thought that they were fine, but Zhong Xuan next to him was very worried, but among the five ministers in the palace, he had the lowest status, and the Huangmen squire was a close servant of the Son of Heaven, who was in charge of writing and conveying edicts, and his status was important, but his rank was not high, so he had only listened to the suggestions of four people before, and he did not dare to intervene easily.

It's just that everyone has begun to discuss who will give He Jue, and they really can't stand their confident appearance, Zhong Miao stubbornly poured cold water and said: "Worship Yang Feng as the general of the chariot and cavalry, Han Xian is the general of Zhengdong, and both of them rebel regardless of it!" Today, the Han room is weak, and the heavenly palace room has to be guarded by hundreds of soldiers, and the high-ranking officials and lords given by the imperial court may be difficult to move people's hearts again! And I heard that Henan was divided into civil and military duties, and the three counties were too guarded to have no military power, and there were still anxious people who wanted to rebel against Deng Guiyuan, but they didn't succeed, and it was useless to be tempted by them! ”

Although Zhong Xuan's official position was low, Yang Biao knew that he was knowledgeable, and he didn't despise him like he finished Dong Cheng's royal suit, so he couldn't help but ask solemnly: "According to what Yuan Chang saw, what should I do?" ”

Zhong Xuan said: "Deng thief enters the palace to face the saint, every time there is a warrior to escort him, this violation of the etiquette system will also disturb Your Majesty." Or you can first be gentle and close, confuse his will, slack his preparation, and then blame the armor to disturb the matter, and then he may as well enter the palace again, and ambush the soldiers according to Dong Zhuo's old practice! When the Deng thief died, he sent the ministers out to appease the people, deter the soldiers, and tell the three counties to defend the three counties, gather the army to ask Li Guo and others, and Si Lu can be safe! ”

Fu Wan angrily reprimanded: "It's so dangerous, but what's the change, the military disaster will affect the emperor!" You are just a little yellow door servant, where is your majesty's safety in danger? ”

Zhong Xuan ignored the ambush, fell to the ground and rushed to the sky, crying: "The Han family is so weak, Your Majesty has the ambition of Zhongxing, how can you think about the safety of your own body anymore?" ”

dared to speak to the Son of Heaven like this, Dong Cheng was already furious after the subdued Wang Cheng, even Yang Biao couldn't let him say it anymore, and the four of them shouted in unison: "Bold! Shut up! ”

The atmosphere in the hall was suddenly extremely depressing, and the four of them did not dare to say anything after drinking Zhong Xuan. The Son of Heaven was pale, gritted his teeth on the throne, and said for a long time: "Zhong Yuan's words of good and bitter words, how can he be blamed?" If I can revive the Han family, why should I regret this? However, most of the people of Henan came from among the thieves, and they were not very loyal, so they risked killing Deng Ji, and it was difficult for them to obey the imperial court! ”

Wang Fu glared at Zhong Xuan, who was kneeling on the ground, and Xiao Yi added: "Your Majesty's words are very true! The thief Deng Ji was executed, and the two tigers under his command were very brave, and they were afraid that the disaster was far greater than that of Li Dao and Guo Yan's generation! What the former ministers said may be insufficient, but if the generation of Du Yang in the inner field is not available, the outside can still secretly order the princes to rebel against Henan and be diligent in the king's affairs! The inside and outside are mutually beneficial, and they can be achieved! ”

"That's right!" As long as the Son of Heaven does not take much risk, Fu Wan also echoed: "If the princes send troops to fight Henan, Deng Ji will send troops to block it, and then he can get help from Ertian and others, and when the army of Luoyang is small, he can take the opportunity to seize it, thinking that it is the foundation of rejuvenation; Then go to the Quartet not to be subordinate, level the world, and prosper the Han room. ”

The Son of Heaven no longer cared about the Zhong Xuan on the ground, and asked Yang Biao: "The princes are like the two Yuan generations, it is really not credible, who can I still order?" ”

"Your Majesty, don't worry, the princes of the Quartet also have the guts! The rest or not the minister, Yanzhou, Cao Cao, Xuzhou, Liu Bei, Jingzhou, Liu Biao are all available. Cao Cao was Anyanzhou before, and he was forced to form an alliance with Deng Ji, but it was not easy to make it; Liu Bei's soldiers are far away, and he is still competing with Yuan Shu, and it is difficult to come. Only Jingzhou Liu Biao is a relative of the Han Dynasty, and the former once released grain in Chang'an, which can already be seen to be loyal; Today, the land of a state, there are many soldiers and enough food, and it can be used! He also became an enmity with Deng Ji, stationed troops abroad, and went to fight every day, but he was afraid that he would not violate the border without an edict! If he secretly sends an edict to order him to be the king of Qin, Liu Jingsheng will be happy and drum up troops! ”

Thinking about Liu Biao's meekness, this virtue is even more precious when the princes of the Quartet are not subservient, or our old Liu family is credible, and the Son of Heaven is immediately happy.

Although Deng Ji was hateful, the supervision in the palace was not strict, although he was put on the street signs, he did not restrict the freedom of hundreds of officials on weekdays, so he ordered Zhong Ji to get up and write the edict, so that the royal clothes were secretly carried out, and secretly went to Jingzhou to move Liu Biao as a rescuer.

It's just that the Son of Heaven doesn't know Deng Ji's heart, if he makes it clear that he wants to leave Luoyang and go to Jingzhou, Deng Ji may have to say goodbye. Of course, if you know that the Son of Heaven wants to plot the land of your own three counties, you can't say that you will do it even if you are in the name of rebellion for the rest of your life.

The courtiers of the Son of Heaven made a good plan, and Deng Ji also selected new soldiers to replenish, and also prepared to lead one of the six new captains 12,000 soldiers to Liang County to help Xu Huang and others break the enemy.

It's just that the angels of the Deng army have not yet arrived, the plague in Jingzhou has risen, Liu Biao is afraid, and has withdrawn the Luyang troops to go back to defend themselves. (To be continued......)
