Chapter 60: The Storm of Luojing (4)
Just as we were leading our army to defeat the Baibo army in Hedong, an unexpected thing suddenly happened in the DPRK and China.
Originally, Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty was going to announce to the world on April 10 and canonize Liu Xie as the crown prince. However, just after the dinner on the previous day, Emperor Ling suddenly felt unwell, so he sent someone to summon Jian Shuo and gave him some instructions. Then, on the morning of the third day, he died.
The sudden death of the Spirit Emperor made Jian Shuo feel angry, because "he/she" believed that the death of the Spirit Emperor was not for no reason, and someone must have done something behind it. So, "he/she" targeted the He Jin siblings.
But he said that Jian Shuo's suspicions were not without the slightest basis. Emperor Ling's original intention was to make Liu Xie the crown prince, but He Jin's brothers and sisters strongly opposed this, and the party members took the general He Jin as the leader, which made Emperor Ling feel deeply jealous. For Emperor Ling, no matter how powerful the eunuchs are, they will not be able to usurp their own country, because "they" are not rightly named, and they do not have this ability. And the relatives are different, if they want to usurp their own country, as long as the means are in place enough, they can be replaced justifiably, just like Wang Mang usurped the Han in the past.
In order to consolidate the authority of the Son of Heaven, Jian Shuo came up with an idea for him, ordering He Jin to lead his troops west to quell the rebellion of Han Sui and Ma Teng, so as to keep He Jin away from the capital. Of course, He Jin will not be willing to be left like this, once he leaves the capital, it will inevitably be the prince who will become the prince in the future, not his nephew and the prince. Therefore, He Jin used the excuse that the capital was short of troops, and he needed to send people to various places to recruit soldiers and horses, and only after the equipment and war horses were complete could he send troops. In this regard, the Spirit Emperor had no choice but to reluctantly agree.
He Jin sent Yuan Shao, the lieutenant of the Central Military Academy, and Cao Cao, the lieutenant of the Dian Military Academy, together with the lieutenants Wu Qiuyi, Liu Bei and others, to Yan and Xu to recruit troops. Then, it happened that the Yellow Turban Army in the Qing and Xu areas looted the county, and the two sides fought a big battle. During this period, Liu Bei and his left and right Guan Yu and Zhang Fei fought meritoriously, and Yuan Shao recommended Liu Bei as the county governor of Xiami County (in present-day Changyi, Shandong) to continue to lead the people against the rebellious Yellow Turban Sect.
After that, Yuan Shao led some soldiers and horses back to the capital, and Emperor Ling ordered He Jin to send troops immediately, but He Jin had no choice but to comply. But on this day, Emperor Ling, who had eaten dinner, suddenly felt unwell, and the severe pain in his abdomen was incomparable. However, Empress He ordered the imperial physician not to reveal the cause of Emperor Ling's illness, otherwise He Jin would kill his entire family. The imperial doctor was afraid of the obscenity of He Jin's brothers and sisters, so he had to compromise and seek perfection.
Although the mastermind behind this matter is not clear to outsiders, the Spirit Emperor knows it. So he took advantage of the fact that he was still a little sober, so he urgently summoned Jian Shuo into the palace, entrusted all the things after his death to Jian Shuo, and told Jian Shuo to support Liu Xie's ascension to the throne, and not to repeat the mistakes of the previous dynasty. In this regard, Jian Shuo said that he would definitely swear to complete the king's order.
Then, another day passed, and the Spirit Emperor died. He Jin also excused himself from the plan to go west. Jian Shuo planned to take advantage of the fact that Emperor Ling's death had not yet been spread to secretly kill He Jin, but unfortunately when He entered the palace, his subordinate Sima Pan Yin secretly revealed the news to He Jin, allowing He Jin to escape, causing the entire plan to fall short.
He Jin was worried that things would change again, and only on the third day of Emperor Ling's return to heaven, he united with a cadre of party members to urgently support Liu Wei to ascend the throne. Subsequently, Empress Dowager He listened to the government and issued an edict to appoint Liu Xie as the king of Bohai County (Jizhou in the Han Dynasty, now along the border of the Bohai Sea), and wanted to transfer him to a county farther away from the capital. Immediately, the later general Yuan Kui was promoted to Taifu and participated in the Shangshu affair with He Jin.
In other words, from the death of Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty to Liu Wei's accession to the throne as the Young Emperor, these two things happened so that everyone in the world felt very sudden, and even I felt a little caught off guard. In later generations, the narrative in the history books was quite natural, but why did it feel so abrupt after experiencing it personally? Well, I have to write it down in my diary for future generations.
While everyone was immersed in feigned grief over the death of the Son of Heaven, I was the only one who wore a vague smile all day long. In this regard, Feng Xian felt very strange, so he asked me: "Brother Xian, the Son of Heaven has died, but why do you look a little happy?" ”
I said, "The death of Emperor Han Ling is just the beginning, and the main event is still to come." ”
Feng Xian's face couldn't help but change, and he couldn't help but say: "Could it be that the virtuous brother already knew that the Son of Heaven would die at this time?" ”
I smiled slightly and said, "Almost; Didn't I tell you before, soon you will have the opportunity to go to the capital, and now the opportunity is almost there. ”
When Feng Xian heard me say this, he couldn't help but be a little stunned, but said: "What the virtuous brother said is really unfathomable! ”
I smiled slightly, unimpressed. Then another day later, when the news of the young emperor's accession to the throne came down, Dong Zhuo found me and said, "Cheng Lian, you can't have the surname "Shao" in the future, you have to change your surname again." ”
I asked, "Why?" ”
Dong Zhuo replied: "In order to avoid being the emperor of today's son." ”
I've heard of people who change their names to avoid their names, and I haven't heard of people changing their surnames. In order to break the emperor's name, he had to change his surname, but Nima Ye didn't change it.
At this time, Feng Xian couldn't help asking, "Brother Xian, have you figured out what surname you want to change?" ”
I rolled my eyes and said, "My surname has been passed down since ancient times, so let me change it." ”
Feng Xian's face couldn't help but change, but he said: "Hey, don't talk nonsense, if you don't change your surname, this is a crime of killing your head." ”
At this time, Dong Zhuo on the side suddenly took a sip and said: "Snort, his grandmother's, I really don't know what kind of rule this is, just in order to avoid the emperor's name, he even changed the surname of his ancestor, what kind of words is this!" ”
Huh? When did this fat man become so sensible? Well, I have to write this in my diary.
Feng Xian couldn't help asking: "Brother Xian, just now you said that your surname has been passed down from ancient times, I don't know which great sage your ancestors are?" ”
Well, I couldn't help but be stunned for a moment when he asked him, and I really didn't know how to answer him. If I want to say this, I am the first generation of androids, and the ancestor of androids is naturally myself. No, it's my father. However, I can't tell them about my background, and even if I do, I won't understand it. It seems that you have to make up a more reliable ancestor, preferably the kind that is more famous, otherwise you will definitely not be able to suppress them.
I couldn't help but think about it, and suddenly I thought of a very famous person. It is said that Emperor Xuanyuan's eldest son, Xuan Huan, is the White Emperor Shaohao, one of the five emperors of ancient times, and I can just borrow it. Anyway, half of the blood in my body belongs to the descendants of Yan and Huang, so it's not nonsense.
So I brewed my emotions a little, and said, "Alas, the origin of my life is originally a secret that cannot be said, and now that you have asked about it, brother, my younger brother can no longer hide it from you; However, please follow my brother and all of you in the list, you must keep this secret for me, but don't leak it out? ”
Feng Xian smiled and said, "Don't worry, brother, I won't betray you." ”
The others couldn't help but be slightly stunned, and Dong Zhuo also nodded and said, "Okay, you can tell me about it." ”
I couldn't help but look at Dong Zhuo, and said: "Dong Zhou Muken promised to keep a secret for me, and I naturally believe it; My brother is my dearest person now, and he will definitely not leak it out; But what about the other people on the list? ”
I won't go on here, but at the same time arouse everyone's curiosity. Dong Zhuo said to Niu Fu and the others: "Wait and listen, if anyone leaks half a word about today's matter, the old man will deal with it by military law!" ”
Niu Fu and the others couldn't help but respectfully say: "The subordinates must obey the order!" ”
Dong Zhuo looked at me and said, "Okay, you can say it." ”
I smiled slightly and said, "Actually, my ancestor is the White Emperor Shaohao, one of the five emperors of the ancients, because there is a major secret involved in the family, so I have been hiding my life experience from everyone, so please forgive me." ”
When everyone heard this, they couldn't help but be moved immediately. Only Feng Xian had a clear expression and said, "No wonder, it turns out that the virtuous brother is a descendant of the White Emperor, so I said that the virtuous brother doesn't look like a mortal." ”
I smiled and said, "Where, where." ”
saw Dong Zhuo also smiled: "Haha, I see, no wonder the old man feels unusual when he sees the little brother; Well, in this case, the old man must be good for you. ”
I smiled and said, "Dong Zhoumu, in order to avoid the suspicion of other soldiers in the army, I think it's better for you not to reuse me." ”
Dong Zhuo said: "Then how can you do it, won't you yield your talent?" ”
I said, "If a husband can bend and stretch, how can he bend and say?" ”
Dong Zhuo couldn't help but groan, and said: "In that case, then okay, you will be the old man's assistant army Sima, you are responsible for giving advice to the old man on weekdays, and you are responsible for arranging military tactics when you are about to fight, do you think it?" ”
I arched my hand and said, "Thank you, Pastor Dong Zhou." ”
Dong Zhuo smiled: "Hey, you're polite; By the way, if someone asks about your name in the future, you should just say that you are called "Cheng Lian", and don't say anything else, so as not to invite trouble. ”
Hey, what are you afraid of, anyway, the little emperor will be deposed by you in a few months, what does it matter. Even though I thought so in my heart, I still said, "I know, thank you for the reminder." ”
