vs 57 The Second Minister's Rebellion [I]

The beacon fire in the city gradually extinguished. The imperial army's frenzied arrest of eunuchs also came to an end temporarily. After the madness is over, in front of the important ministers of the DPRK and the Central Committee who are secretly manipulating this matter, the most important thing is how to clean up this mess.

Of course, it doesn't matter to those in power how many people died in this upheaval. One of the most critical things is to find a way to transfer the infamy to others in order to ensure the innocence of his reputation.

Taifu Yuan Kui's approach shows his old scheming to draw salaries from the bottom of the kettle. In his study, he spread out a pair of cloth, waved a large pen, and wrote in strong and powerful block letters:

- August, Wuchen, enter Changle Palace, Empress Dowager Bai, please do your best. Zhang Rang and Duan Jue, who are often in the middle of the year, said: "The general is sick, not mourning, not funeral, and now he is in the province, what does this mean?" The Dou family has revived? "Let the subtext hear, and hear its words. He led dozens of his party members to steal from the side, ambushed the provincial households, in and out, because of fraud to the queen mother's edict summoned in, into the provincial cabinet.

——Let the other people enter and say: "The world is sorrowful, and it is not the only Cao sin." The first emperor tasted unhappy with the queen mother, almost to success or failure, I Cao wept and rescued, each monk made tens of millions of dollars as a gift, and was happy, but I wanted to entrust the Qing to the ear. Now I want to destroy my Cao race, isn't it too much! So Shang Fang Jian Qu Mu drew his sword and slashed into front of the Jiade Palace. Let, Jue and so on for the edict, with the late Taiwei Fan Ling as the lieutenant of the school, Shaofu Xu Xiang as Henan Yin. Shang Shu got the edict, doubted, and said: "Please ask the general to come out and discuss together." Zhonghuangmen threw the head and Shang Shu said: "He Jin rebelled, and he has been ambushed!" ”

——Wu Kuang and Zhang Zhang were outside, and when they heard that they were killed, they wanted to lead troops into the palace, but the palace gate was closed. Hu Ben Zhonglang attacked Yuan Shu and Kuang together, and Zhonghuangmen held troops to guard the pavilion. It will be dusk, and the technique will burn the Nangong Qingzuomen. Wants to sell by coercion, etc. Let the Empress Dowager Bai wait, the general rebelled, burned the palace, attacked Shang Shumin, and robbed the officials and subordinates of the province because of the queen mother, the young emperor and Chen Liuwang. Take the North Palace from the double road. Shangshu Lu Zhi insisted on Ge under the window of the pavilion road, looking up for a few paragraphs; Fear, it is the release of the Queen Mother, the Queen Mother surrendered to the cabinet, and was spared.

——Shao and He Miao led troops to Tun Zhuque, captured Zhao Zhong and others, and beheaded them. Wu Kuang and others complained that Miao was not of the same heart as Jin, and suspected that he was conspiring with the eunuchs, so he ordered the army to say: "Kill the general." Even if the car is ridden, can the officials take revenge? They all wept and said, "May I die!" Kuang Sui led his troops and Dong Zhuodi to attack and kill Miao and abandon his body in the garden.

After writing a three-foot-square cloth, Yuan Kui put down his pen, reviewed the manuscript, and smiled with satisfaction to the only guest in the study:

"Let's see, how is it written?"

The guest was none other than the Lantai Lingshi of this dynasty.

According to the law of the former Han Dynasty. The official who compiled the historical materials was originally Taishi Ling. But. After Emperor Guangwu revived the Han Dynasty, Taishi Ling no longer wrote history, but was in charge of the time of day, the ephemeris, the year-end new calendar, the national sacrifice, funeral, marriage and the taboo of the season. If there is a Ruiying, disaster and the like, it is responsible for recording.

And so it goes. The task of compiling history fell into the hands of other court officials. Since the time of Emperor Ming of the Han Dynasty, the Son of Heaven appointed the scholar Ban Gu as the Lantai Lingshi and wrote the "Book of Han", the Lantai Lingshi has become another name for the historian. And Lantai Lingshi wrote a good history book. It is properly kept in the east view of the South Palace of the Great Han.

The previous Lantai Ling Shi was deposed two months ago because of the eunuch attached to A. This new Lantai Lingshi is the former official of the Yuan family. In front of his benefactor, Lantai Lingshi naturally praised Yuan Taifu's strong handwriting and spicy writing, which is really a rare good article.

"With this good article by Taifu, it will save the matter of the boss of the lower officials!"

Lantai Lingshi is also a person with high eyebrows, so he naturally knows the current situation, since the benefactor has found himself, he should do something honestly.

"The old man is not a historian after all. Look at what happened yesterday, what else can you add? ”

Yuan Kui's words, obviously let Lantai Lingshi find faults, but secretly let Lantai Lingshi give the historical manuscript to avoid repetition later. Although Lantai Lingshi is the former official of the Yuan family, after all, as a historian, starting from "Dong Hu Straight Pen", the spirit of the straight pen of the historian who has been inherited for thousands of years has not been completely wiped out. He didn't dare to go against Yuan Kui's intentions, but it didn't prevent him from deliberately revealing some other details between the lines.

"Then the next official will trespass!"

Tai Shiling confessed to Yuan Kui, put the pen on the back of the cloth, and added a sentence in a thin and strong font:

- Shao Sui closed the gate of the north palace, and the eunuchs were killed, and all the young and old people were killed, and all more than 2,000 people, or those who died by mistake without need.

Seeing that Lantai Ling Shi added such a sentence lightly, Yuan Kui knew that he was a little uncomfortable in his heart, so he just smiled and didn't care.

In fact, the court coup d'état that took place the day before yesterday was completely unexpected by Yuan Kui. Regarding the power dispute between the general and the ten permanent servants, Yuan Kui watched coldly, always ready to intervene at a critical moment to obtain the greatest benefits. However, Yuan Kui, who was the head of the Yuan family, definitely did not expect that Yuan Shao would be so bold and reckless!

The weight of the killings caused by this chaos greatly shocked the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty. It can be said that on the surface, everyone did not express their opinions on the eunuch being killed, but in fact, the slander in their hearts was overwhelming.

If Yuan Kui was not on the side of the parties, I was afraid that in his heart, he would also scold such a sentence:

- It is really bold to kill the court like this! Where does the majesty of the emperor remain? The prestige of the Han family may still be there?

However, the matter was provoked by Yuan Shao, and Yuan Shu was also deeply involved in this palace coup. If Yuan Kui wanted to keep the Runan Yuan clan from being implicated in this matter, he would have to do his best to exonerate Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu.

As for the way to exculpate, Yuan Kui has a lot of them. It is nothing more than pinching the head and removing the tail and concealing the key points. As long as the cover-up is skillful, Yuan Kui is completely sure that he will push the matter on the dead Shichang and his gang.

Of course, there are difficulties in doing so. Although the Yuan clan is strong, it can't cover the sky with one hand. In private, Yuan Kui also had to exchange interests with several other families in the court, such as the Hongnong Yang family and the former Taiwei Cao Song faction, in exchange for the consequences of the other party's acquiescence this time.

Seeing off Lantai Lingshi, Yuan Kui also prepared a guard of honor and set off towards the city gate. According to the cable report, the cavalry of the former general Dong Zhuo had arrived outside the city of Luoyang after several days of wild running. Moreover, on the way, this cavalry happened to meet the Son of Heaven and King Chen Liu, who were lost yesterday, and were escorting the Son of Heaven to drive all the way back to Luoyang. Yuan Kui, as the head of the hundred officials, must go to the city gate to welcome the return of the Son of Heaven.

Even if he got on the train, Yuan Kui's mind was still not idle. For the next generation of the Yuan family, he must make a new judgment.

Yuan Kui was originally worried about Yuan's several rising stars, but he was only worried about Yuan Shu's impulse to get out of the way, afraid that he would cause some big trouble, and it would not be good to deal with the aftermath. For Yuan Shao, he is extremely relieved, thinking that those who will magnify the Yuan family in the future will be the original. However, yesterday's events completely broke Yuan Kui's thoughts.

- This primordial, if you don't make a noise, it will be enough, and as soon as you get into trouble, you will cause a big disaster!

On the contrary, Yuan Shu, who is usually not at ease, performed remarkably yesterday. After he first found out that Yuan Shao had caused an incident in the palace, he decisively informed Yuan Kui. Then, Yuan Shu abandoned his disagreement with Yuan Shao on weekdays and did his best to help Yuan Shao act.

Later, under the instruction of Yuan Kui, Yuan Shu successfully provoked the general's subordinate Wu Kuang, and merged with the chariot general He Miao, completely extinguishing the possible counterattack of the eunuchs. This kind of performance, even if Yuan Kui and him change places, they can't do better.

- Highway is doing a good job this time, you can promote his official position, and it will be good to give him a rear general. It's the beginning......

Thinking of Yuan Shao's secret planning this time, Yuan Kui's heart was also shocked. In order to prevent Yuan Shao from tying the entire Yuan clan to the fire next time, Yuan Kui decided that Yuan Shao, the lieutenant of the division, could not do it. Moreover, this time, even Luo Yang couldn't let Yuan Shao stay any longer, and he had to be sent to a distant county to let him reflect on himself.

- It's also for the sake of the original good. If you do something out of the ordinary, of course, you have to pay the price.

- With the experience of ruling a county, I think I can make things more thoughtful in the future!

——Bohai County in Jizhou, isn't there just a vacancy of Taishou......

secretly chose the whereabouts for Yuan Shao in his heart, and Yuan Kui drifted his thoughts to the upcoming Dong Zhuo.

- Dong Zhongying was able to come so quickly this time, but I am afraid that she did something in it at the beginning?

Yuan Kui is worthy of being a scheming man, and he immediately figured out what Yuan Shao was doing secretly.

In Yuan Shao's plan, Dong Zhuo's department is regarded as a backhand. In view of Dong Zhuo's clear statement in the previous table above that "chasing the evil of the king's side", as long as he arrives in Luoyang, even if Yuan Shao fails to kill the eunuchs, Dong Zhuo can continue to attack and kill the eunuchs.

Therefore, in Yuan Shao's design, as soon as Chun Yuqiong succeeded in assassinating He Jin, he would immediately send someone to light the beacon fireworks on the west side of Luoyang City. As soon as he saw the fireworks of the beacons, he would immediately enter Dong Zhuo's military camp, take out a forged letter from Taifu Yuan Kui, and order Dong Zhuo to lead a light cavalry into Beijing as soon as he saw the fireworks.

It was under Yuan Shao's various arrangements that Dong Zhuo led his troops to come and happened to meet the Son of Heaven's car outside Luoyang City. (To be continued......)
