Chapter 401: The Great Han Pillar Stone

readx;

In the first year of Yongluo, in June, the hundred officials of the court headed by Wang Yun returned to Luoyang, and it is worth mentioning that Lu Zhi, Zhu Jun, Huangfu Song, Zhang Wen and other pillars of the court were squeezed out by Wang Yun and stayed in Chang'an City, with the good name of "monitoring Dong Zhuo". In fact www.biquge.info most officials understand in their hearts that this is the reason for the outbreak of contradictions between the Kwanti Party and the Kwantung Party.

As the saying goes, Kansai is a general, Kanto is a general! Although Lu Zhi is a Kwantung person, he has always gotten along very well with the Kansai generals, but he rarely has contacts with the Kwantung clan, especially after Wang Yun and Lu Zhi's political views are different, the contradiction is even more serious, and Wang Yun has been generous to keep Lu Zhi and other veterans in Chang'an with the power in his hands.

What is the surname of Lu Zhi and the four people? If you say that it is good, you will see you as your life, and if you say it is ugly, it is a dead brain, and now that the orthodox emperor is dead, the four of them have long been disheartened, what is Liu Xuan? To be honest, they really look down on it! If you don't go to Luoyang, they don't have that mind!

But if you don't go to Luoyang, you can't stay in Chang'an, Chang'an is a land of right and wrong, who knows when Dong Zhuo will go crazy? Taking advantage of Dong Zhuo's lack of interest in paying attention to the hundred officials at this time, Lu Zhi and the four of them quickly fled to Liangzhou in the northwest with their families, in Liangzhou, they have huge contacts, that is to say, they have a foundation, and at this time Liangzhou is Liu Tai's territory, who can take them?

left, walked very simply, except for some gold and silver silk that was easy to take away, most of them stayed in the mansion, since they were fleeing, of course they couldn't be thousands of cars, otherwise Dong Zhuo woke up, these four pillars of the military state really didn't know how to die.

The first time to get the news that the four veterans were about to enter Xiliang, as the governor of Xiliang, Zhang Jaw was ecstatic, and rushed to the junction of Yongliang to wait, that anxious attitude, the officials thought that Zhang Jaw greeted their father.

Of course, the four veterans are not Zhangjaw's father, but for Northern Xinjiang, they are ten million times more important than Zhangjaw's father, you know, during the Yellow Turban Rebellion, the reputation of the four veterans was extremely prominent, any of them once commanded an army of more than 200,000, and the military was prominent!

With such a figure, how could Northern Xinjiang not pay attention to it, how could it not pay attention to it? In order to invite Lu Zhi to Northern Xinjiang, Liu Tai took a lot of effort, and even had the heart to go to Chang'an to invite in person, but finally gave up for special reasons.

Zhang Jaw, who is familiar with Liu Tai's value for the four veterans, is really respectful to the four veterans, and does not dare to offend in the slightest, and even in order to satisfy the four veterans, Zhang Jaw pretended to transfer the branch of Kyushu Commercial Bank in Liangzhou to celebrate the four veterans, the meaning is obvious, I hope that the four old generals can be in the northern Xinjiang!

Liangzhou, Wuwei, Dadu Governor's Mansion!

Festive, very festive, everywhere is full of lights, waves of people continue to enter and exit from the Metropolitan Governor's Mansion, sending a lot of gifts. Don't get me wrong, the reason why this is the case is not because of any happy event in Zhangjaw, but because the four veterans, relatives and friends in Liangzhou came to visit, as the saying goes, many people are not to blame, seeing that the four veterans can get 100% high treatment in northern Xinjiang, how can these people not stutter?

In the lobby of the Governor's Mansion, the Xiliang tycoons in expensive costumes cheered there, many of them could see the Qiang people in Qiang costumes, and even the popular Ma family and the children of the Han family were also in the crowd.

In ancient times, it was customary to build a side hall next to the lobby, which was mainly to make the host's family make some preparations, after all, it was a very serious matter to meet guests, if it was not neatly dressed, and some other problems, it would be a big shame.

Of course, at this time, the people in the side hall were not doing anything to tidy up, but sitting on the soft collapse one by one, holding a small banquet with a unique face, as the master of the Governor's Mansion, Zhang Jaw sat at the top without any suspense, Ma Teng and Han Sui sat on the lower right of Zhang Jaw, and the four veterans sat on the lower left of Zhang Jaw.

It is worth mentioning that the four veterans sit in very regular positions, and among the veterans, Lu Zhi has the most seniority and the greatest fame, so he sits in the first place. Huang Fu Song followed, when Emperor Ling was in power, although Huang Fu Song was reprimanded once, but soon reinstated to his original position, which did not affect Huang Fu Song's status among the generals, so Huang Fu Song sat in the second place, and no one would say anything.

After Huangfu Song is Zhu Jun, among the generals, Zhu Jun has the greatest credit, and he is the "culprit" who destroyed the Golden Dynasty with his own hands, and the army he commands is also the most, but because of seniority, Zhu Jun can only be ranked below Huangfu Song.

The last one is Zhang Wen, to be honest, Zhang Wen can become a famous general, mainly because he picked up the advantage of Huangfu Song, if it wasn't for Huangfu Song's defeat on the Qiang battlefield, maybe Zhang Wen would not have been able to sit in this position, but to be honest, Zhang Wen is indeed capable, otherwise how could Lu Zhi and others agree?

"Jaw first salute all the bosses!" I saw Zhang Jaw bow to Lu Zhi and the four of them, and then cover the wine glass with the long sleeve of his right hand, and drank the wine in one gulp, indescribably bold!

You must know that what everyone in front of you is drinking is not the old rice wine that belongs to this era, but the strong old white dry that is specially provided by generals and officials at all levels in northern Xinjiang, it is not advisable to drink more, it is easy to get drunk!

There are two kinds of old white gan in northern Xinjiang, one is the surname of Lie, and the other is ordinary, originally such a banquet, it is more suitable to drink ordinary old baigan, that is, the kind that is relatively light, but Zhang Jaw knows that these old generals have a very amazing amount of alcohol, if you use ordinary old white dry, what if you provoke the veteran dissatisfied?

It is worth mentioning that during the march, the old white gan that the lord will reward the soldiers with is not the kind of old white gan with a strong surname, but an extremely ordinary old white gan, even if he can't drink, he will not get drunk after a few drinks, similar to modern beer, but a little stronger than beer.

"The governor is very many." Lu Zhi had already drunk a glass of wine, and knew that this kind of wine was extremely strong, even if Lu Zhi, who was a veteran, drank a glass, he felt a little unbearable, it can be seen that after Zhang Jaw simply drank a glass, his face did not change, this amount of wine

"Master Lu has spoken." Zhang Jaw put down the wine glass with a smile, although Zhang Jaw is a general, but he still has scheming, otherwise how could he be appointed by Liu Tai as the governor of Xiliang? Zhang Jaw knows that it is easiest to talk about topics at the wine table, and there will not be so many scruples.

As the owner's family, Zhang Jaw toasted, can Lu Zhi and the four of them be indifferent? Needless to say, the four of them raised their glasses and drank it all at open jaws on the spot! And Ma Teng and Han Sui, who were in the right column, couldn't be cold, they raised their glasses and bowed to Zhang Jaw together, and drank all the wine in the glass.

Between pushing the cup and changing the lamp, Zhang Jaw did not talk about anything related to politics, but kept persuading the old generals to drink, Ma Teng and Han Sui were Zhang Jaw's comrades, so naturally they talked to each other, and it didn't take long for Lu Zhi and the four of them to feel a little dizzy!

"Bang!!"

"Ladies old generals, when the jaw followed His Royal Highness in the past, His Royal Highness said that the old generals are the pillars of the country, if the Han loses your assistance, it is like cutting off an arm to survive for a short time, now I am the Han world, the princes have rebelled against each other, and the people are in dire straits, it can be seen that the troubled times have come, I hope that you can look at the ancestors of the Han family, as well as the emperor's sake, go out of the mountain to assist His Highness, and help His Highness achieve a great cause!" Just when everyone was drunk and hazy, Zhang Jaw held the wine glass in his hand, suddenly got up and walked in front of the four veterans, knelt down in front of everyone and shouted!

"Cold, quiet, the atmosphere froze in an instant, Lu Zhi's original smile was also frozen on his face, how could Lu Zhi, who had been in the officialdom for decades, still not be able to react? Looking at the open jaw that was kneeling in front of him, Lu Zhi opened his mouth, bitter, very bitter.

All along, the people of the world have never heard of the rumors that Liu Tai wants to be the emperor, but since the death of the emperor Liu Xuan ascended the throne, in just a few months, the rumors from the north of Xinjiang can be described as overwhelming, almost ninety percent of the people, have heard that Liu Tai personally conquered Luoyang, is to call the emperor the news!

Lu Zhi didn't believe it, Zhu Jun didn't believe it, Huangfu Song didn't believe it, and Zhang Wen didn't believe it, but the question is, in the face of overwhelming rumors, what ability do these veterans who are loyal to the Han family have to refute it?

Admit it, it's the general trend!

Liu Tai is the only one among the Han clan relatives who is qualified to be the emperor, has the ability to be the emperor, and has the prestige to be the emperor.

Liu Yan? It is obviously impossible to compete for the throne with his own son!

Liu Yu? A good man, Mingzhe is the best choice!

Liu Biao? But a scholar?

Liu Bei? None of them have been identified

Liu Dai? People who are dying

Liu Xuan? Heh, after a few months on the throne, he wants to take back the northern Xinjiang, this kind of person is qualified to be an emperor? Joke about it!

Well, there are still many Han clan relatives, such as King Chen, King Pei, King Langxi, King Xiapi and other royal families, but the question is, what qualifications do these royal families have to ascend to the throne of God? Even if they have that ambition, do they have that prestige and that qualification?

Therefore, Liu Tai is the only candidate!

And the most suitable candidate!

Of course, although Lu Zhi and others knew it, they didn't dare to say so, as the king, Liu Tai could declare himself emperor, but Lu Zhi, who was the core figure of the original imperial party, as well as Zhang Wen, Huangfu Song and Zhu Jun, could not say a word, otherwise, the death of the emperor would be a big twist and turn!

"General Zhang, please get up quickly" was stunned for a moment, Zhu Jun, whose surname is relatively simple, immediately stepped forward to help Zhang Jaw, looked at Lu Zhi, shook his head with a wry smile, and after Zhang Jaw got up, he arched his hand to Zhang Jaw and said: "General Zhang, we are all white now, and we are so entertained by the general, our hearts are already uneasy, how can we bear such a big gift?"

"General Zhu has said it!" Zhang Jaw's attitude was very serious, and he replied to Zhu Jun and said: "Jaw is a junior, His Royal Highness once called the old generals by his teacher, and Jaw treated His Royal Highness as a teacher, even so, the old generals are naturally the ancestors of the jaw, and it is natural to bow to the jaw!" ”

"This" smiled bitterly, smiled bitterly, Zhu Jun was speechless, except for Lu Zhi, who dared to call Liu Tai's master the three Zhu Jun present? You must know that the four people, including Lu Zhi, only had a few relationships with Liu Tai, of course, Liu Tai has always been very polite to Zhu Jun and the four of them, and when he was in Chang'an for more than a year, if it weren't for the second group of dragons and tigers in northern Xinjiang, these four old generals would have starved to death

"General Zhang doesn't need to be polite, the general trend of the world, we all know it in our hearts, but this is not the time for us to go out of the mountain" Zhang Wen should be regarded as half politicians and half military strategists in the imperial court, if Zhang Wen is a military strategist, before serving as a hussar general to conquer the Qiang people, Zhang Wen is one of the three serious princes.

But if Zhang Wen is a politician, it is not, because although Zhang Wen has served in many government affairs, he has a good relationship with the military generals most of the time, especially He Huangfu Song, Zhu Jun and others, so Zhang Wen was naturally squeezed out by the Shandong scholars of Wang Yun's faction!

"No, General Zhang should understand what the times make heroes! Now at the time of the great chaos in the world, His Royal Highness's troops have come out, and when the time comes, the people will not have a good life, and your lords have no ability, but because of many scruples, they are unwilling to contribute, so will not let the war drag on longer, and the people will be killed and injured more heavily? If this is the case, the pillar of the country in Teng's heart, I'm afraid it's just like that" cold, a little sarcastic, I don't think Ma Teng of the Xiliang Department would actually say such a thing!

In an instant, everyone's eyes were focused on Ma Teng, and Zhang Jaw was even more angry, of course, because his face was facing Ma Teng, Lu Zhi and the others didn't see it, and a smile flashed in Zhang Jaw's eyes!!

Yes, it's a smile!

Ma Teng was deliberately arranged by Zhang Jaw, otherwise, as an old subordinate of Lu Zhi and others, would Ma Teng dare to speak like this? You know, it's not just Matten! Including Han Sui, Dong Zhuo, Sun Jian, Cao Ying and other martial artists who are now in power, they are all protégés or subordinates of generals such as Lu Zhi, so Lu Zhi and other veteran generals can be so respected!

Ma Teng is also bitter, although Ma Teng doesn't know what a black face is and what a red face is, but now Ma Teng clearly feels that being a black face is not a good thing, especially now being stared at by Lu Zhi and others, like a thorn in the back, so uncomfortable!

"Shoucheng, how can you talk such nonsense, why don't you apologize to the old generals quickly" Han Sui on the side had cold sweat on his forehead, looked extremely nervous, and said to Ma Teng who was sitting beside him.

But it's a pity that Ma Teng definitely didn't give a little expression, and there was a disdainful smile on the corner of his mouth, well, at least Han Sui thought so! Seeing this situation, Han Sui, who is Ma Teng's good brother, stood up as soon as possible, and said to Lu Zhi and the others: "Ladies and gentlemen, I am afraid that Shoucheng has drunk too much wine today, and I hope that the bosses will not blame him." ”

"Hey" sighed, full of bitterness, I saw Lu Zhi, the head of the four generals, shook his head with a wry smile, looked at his jaw, and then at Ma Teng, and said with an inexplicable meaning on the corner of his mouth: "Well, since General Ma has said so, if the old man is still hypocritical, I am afraid that he will have no face to face the ancestors of my Han Dynasty!" ”

"What? What do you mean? Zhang Jaw was overjoyed for a moment, staring at Lu Zhi tightly and said loudly, Zhang Jaw knew very well that as long as Lu Zhi agreed, it would mean that Zhu Jun and Huangfu Song, as well as Zhang Wen, would all be in Northern Xinjiang, and they could contribute to this matter, which was a monstrous achievement!

"The old man wants to see His Royal Highness the God King" Lu Zhi looked at Zhang Jaw, and originally wanted to agree directly, but after thinking about it, the Lord of Northern Xinjiang is not Zhang Jaw, if he directly agrees to Zhang Jaw, wouldn't it be too cheap? Since you have decided to go out in northern Xinjiang, then set a good value for yourself!

As the saying goes, when selling goods to the emperor's house, it also depends on the price! "This is nature, and the jaw will order people to go and prepare!" The corners of Zhang Jaw's mouth cracked, and he suddenly understood that he was a little anxious, although Zhang Jaw was said to be the governor of Xiliang, but the question was, what qualifications does Zhang Jaw have to invite Lu Zhi and others to come out? Unless Zhang Jaw wants to rebel and summon Lu Zhi and others to his command to become his staff, is this realistic?

"Don't be in a hurry for a while" Huang Fu Song, who had not spoken for a while, finally couldn't help but speak, glanced at Lu Zhi, and shook his head helplessly, although Huang Fu Song has always been very optimistic about Liu Tai, but Huang Fu Song has never thought of becoming Liu Tai's courtier.

Loyal ministers do not matter to the two masters

But, the general trend is coming!

Huang Fu Song has no ability to go back, after all, Lu Zhi has agreed, what can Huang Fu Song do? But Huangfu Song still has a request!

"Junyi, you tell His Highness the God King that if you want to be old and decrepit, it is not difficult, but you must ensure the safety of someone in the Han family, well, there are some things you don't know, but you have to say this to His Highness the God King!" Huangfu Song said to Zhang Jaw with a solemn expression!

Stunned, including Lu Zhi, Zhang Wen and Zhu Jun had a different color in their eyes, there was one thing, Lu Zhi and these veterans knew it in their hearts, but they never thought about it, after all, it was in the past, and that person didn't know how to do it at this time.

But no matter what, that person is the former emperor after all, and now that Liu Tai is ready to become the emperor, what if Liu Tai wants to get rid of that person? How good is that? You know, that person is the only bloodline of the first emperor!

Don't think it's impossible! On the way to the emperor, no king allows the existence of danger, and that person is the person who poses the greatest threat to the throne, with Liu Tai's domineering and Liu Tai's reading talent, how can he tolerate the existence of that person?

At least Lu Zhi and the others dare not guarantee that Liu Tai will tolerate it! "The old decay also has this requirement"

"Old decay too"

In an instant, Lu Zhi and Zhu Jun put forward this additional requirement at the same time, no matter what, these old loyal ministers of the Han family could not bear to cut off the bloodline of the first emperor, even if they wanted to be disgusted by the new master, of course, if Liu Tai did not agree, then these old ministers were helpless, but at least, they did not have to feel guilty in their hearts!
