Chapter 172 The Queen Mother is in the court, and the general is the auxiliary government
In one day, the Son of Heaven died, the Empress Dowager Dong returned to heaven, and the second son of the emperor, Liu Xiexu, died. In one day, He Jin was killed, and the ten permanent servants were executed. In one day, Empress He became Empress Dowager He.
In one day, the hussar general, advanced to the general.
In one day, Luoyang City was no longer the world of He Jin and the Ten Standing Servants, but the world of the general Zhang Shuang alone.
In Luoyang City, hundreds of civil and military officials were shaken, He Jin, the ten permanent servants of the party were trembling, and the loyal and righteous people were sad and angry.
Just like He Jin, the Ten Standing Servants, and Queen He said, Zhang Shuang has no foundation in the court, even if he appoints his cronies to important positions.
That's also a drop in the bucket, and it can't control the huge elite group of hundreds of people.
He Jin, the ten permanent servants, and the remnants of the scholars, under the pressure of Zhang Shuang, twisted into a ball and began to fight back. But the snake can't be headless, so they chose the head of the snake.
Then the three princes.
In the early years of the Western Han Dynasty, the three princes were important. But since Emperor Xiaowu of the Han Dynasty established the Chinese Dynasty and set up the position of general to manage the government, the power of the three dukes gradually disappeared, and the scenery was not there.
But it is still an old official position.
The three princes of this generation, Situ is Hongnong Yang, Yang Biao. Hongnong Yang, his great-grandfather, grandfather, and father were all three princes. plus Yang Biao's generation, this family of four generations and four dukes,
In terms of momentum, it is more prominent than Yuan Shao's family.
Sikong, Yuan Kui. This person is Yuan Shao's uncle, Runan Yuan, so there is no need to mention it.
Tai Lieutenant, Zhang Wei. This person is not small, and it is also the home of generations of eunuchs.
Sikong Mansion, Yuan Kui's home. The three dukes gathered, and there was no shortage of famous ministers Wang Yun, He Jin, Yu Dang, Zhou Yu and others.
"Zhang Shuang entered the capital. Your Majesty, the Queen Mother died. The prince saw the killing, how cruel. We are loyal ministers of the Han family. must defend the royal family and compete with Zhang Shuang to the end. ”
Yang Biao is the most loyal, and righteousness is in the color road.
"It's just that Zhang Shuang has a strong army and a strong general. He Jin was killed, and the captain of Xiyuan fled. How can you deal with him? Tai Lieutenant Zhang Wei said with a frown.
"A warm blood, can sweep the world." Yang Biao's breath became more and more majestic.
"Okay, let's fight Zhang Shuang to the death, let him know the power of the loyal ministers of the Han family. See how he ends. Yuan Kui nodded and said.
"Fight with Zhang Shuang."
"Fight with Zhang Shuang."
Celebrities present. Celebrities and gentlemen said in unison, full of enthusiasm.
"The Queen Mother has an edict! Ordered the three dukes, the ministers of civil and military affairs of Jiuqing, and entered the Deyang Palace. Welcome the eldest son of the emperor to the throne as emperor. The Queen Mother is coming! "There is a eunuch who has come to give an edict.
Very young, only eleven or twelve years old.
"I heard that Zhang Shuang killed all the eunuchs over the age of twelve, putting an end to all the power of the ten permanent servants. Sure enough, it's very poisonous. Some of the ministers looked at it and retreated.
"No!" Yuan Kui came forward and received the will.
Immediately, everyone deliberated. Prepare their respective carriages, entourage, and slaughter to the palace.
………………….
"What a great day!"
"It's a really refreshing day!"
Han Palace, in the main hall of Changqiu Palace. Zhang Shuang fell on the soft couch, his head resting on the round thighs of the Empress Dowager He, which he had never felt as happy. Laughter like never before.
Back then, he was a white ding, why did he enter the capital and be humiliated. After leading the troops, he looked down on Zhu Jun again. After that, he had no choice but to bribe the ten permanent servants and defect to the eunuch party.
Night after night, I endured humiliation and stole my life again and again.
Now, at last, one day is arrogant.
Although the strong enemy looks around, the world is restless. But in the four counties under this division, I am the first in the world. It was the Queen Mother who slept, and she was in charge of 100,000 soldiers.
Xiongguan, the capital, Jinge Iron Horse.
"General! General Zhou Cang asked to see him. "There were eunuchs shouting outside the temple gate.
"Come in!" Zhang Shuang gave Mrs. He a back son, got up from her knees, straightened her posture, and said.
"No."
The eunuch promised, and Zhou Cang walked in soon after.
"General, all the three clans left in Henan County by the Ten Standing Servants have been killed." Zhou Cangyu reports.
"How's the possessions?" Zhang Shuang immediately came to his senses and asked.
"Heaped up, roughly estimated, three or five times richer than you, the general. The last general who watched it, his eyes were spent. Zhou Cang said with a smile.
"Take a portion and give it to the soldiers in my name, and win hearts of men. Most of it was deposited in the treasury of the Great General's Palace. Zhang Shuang thought for a moment and ordered.
"I'll do it." Zhou Cang nodded, turned around and left.
"This time, the bribe that was given to Zhang Rang and Liu Hong was all taken back." After leveling the ten permanent servants, destroying the three clans, and returning with wealth, Zhang Shuang's mood became more and more comfortable.
However, it's not all good news. It didn't take long for the general Changshi to enter the palace.
"General, the news of the sect general has arrived, saying that Dong Zhuo has entered Tongguan. There is nothing to be done, and now I can only guard the Hangu Pass. The judge bent over.
"Originally, the plan was to at least occupy Tongguan, but now there is no way. It's also that God doesn't help me. Zhang Shuang said.
"Order the sect members to continue to guard the Hangu Pass. Now I have newly killed the emperor and annexed He Jin's soldiers and horses, and I am invincible. Although Dong Zhuo is rude, he has Li Ru and Jia Xu as his advisers, and he will not easily oppose me. ”
Zhang Shuang said again.
"No." The trial went as promised.
It wasn't long before another eunuch walked in. The report said: "General, the division has been handled. The eldest son of the emperor can enter the emperor's throne. ”
"The sky cannot be without the sun, and the court cannot be without the owner. Envoy Zhongma held the festival, welcomed the emperor's eldest son into the Deyang Palace, succeeded the emperor, and continued the Han Dynasty. ”
Zhang Shuang said.
"No."
The eunuch answered his promise and left.
"The emperor is too young to suppress the rebels. Please come to the court!! Zhang Shuang turned his head, leaned forward slightly, and stretched out his right hand.
"Do you dare to disobey?" Empress Dowager He smiled bitterly and stretched out her hand to hold Zhang Shuang.
Although she has accepted her fate, with the respect of the Queen Mother, she has ended up like this, and the Queen Mother is always a little sad in her heart.
"You don't have to look like this, you are in charge of the inner palace, and I am the outer court. We work together to overthrow the Han Dynasty. When the world belongs to me, I will order your son Liu Wei to be the king, and you will still be the queen mother. ”
Zhang Shuang stroked the green silk next to Empress Dowager He's ear and said comfortingly.
"It's all up to you." Empress Dowager He glanced back at Zhang Shuang, both sad. There is also a strong attachment. At the end of the day, women still have to rely on strong men. to gain a foothold.
Zhang Shuang led the Empress Dowager He to the court.
…………………
In the Deyang Palace, hundreds of civil and military officials sit according to the level of their official positions.
The generals are in their place. Take control of Luoyang. Mi Zhu, Wang Xiu was still in Hedong and couldn't come back. Zhang Shuang's cronies here are only the general Changshi Judge, Shangshu Ling Chen Gong, the imperial historian Cai Yong, the servant Ma Quan, the leader of the army Dian Wei, the Chinese Protector Zhou Cang, and a father who plays soy sauce, the hussar general Zhang Yuan.
Compared with hundreds of civil and military officials. Loose and pitiful.
The imperial court was seated, and the frequency of the shift was high. The general is above the three dukes, the first is Zhang Shuang, the second is Zhang Yuan, and the lower is the three dukes.
And Zhang Yuan was just a farmer in the past, although he was wearing court clothes, but no matter how he sits, his momentum, and his demeanor are awkward. Sangong was in a bad mood. Now I am even more unhappy to see Zhang Yuan.
"Son of Heaven, Queen Mother, the general has arrived!" The eunuch praised, not long after. Zhang Shuang walked out in front. At this moment, he is very different, the person is still that person, and the court clothes are still the court clothes. But the whole person has a momentum of holding power, and a majestic spirit is rushing to his face.
This momentum. is so big that it covers the Son of Heaven behind him. The Queen Mother's momentum.
Zhang Shuang walked heavily, arrived at the shift position, nodded to his father Zhang Yuan first, and then sat in the first place. Immediately, Empress Dowager He, the new emperor took a seat.
"The first emperor unfortunately died, and the world cannot be left without an owner for a day. Therefore, the mourning family ordered the emperor to succeed to the throne, the mourning family came to the dynasty, the general Zhang Shuang assisted the government, and the civil and military officials each performed their duties and could not be restless. ”
Empress Dowager He was dressed in a phoenix suit, and her eyebrows were just emerging, and her majesty was incomparable.
"No." The forces led by Zhang Shuang agreed together. The rest of the courtiers did not move at all, watching coldly.
"Do you have any objections?" Empress Dowager He glanced coldly and asked.
"Back to the Queen Mother, the Son of Heaven died violently, Zhang Shuang entered the capital, this matter is extremely strange, please investigate." Yang Biao was in a hurry, and he couldn't help shouting in the court.
"Zhang Shuang, do you have the face to sit in the position of general?"
"Zhang Shuang, a rebel and a thief."
The ministers said one after another.
"The mourning family can tell Qing and others that the Son of Heaven died violently, and there is no need to investigate." Empress Dowager He said lightly.
"Queen Mother." The ministers were dumbfounded, they didn't expect Empress Dowager He to actually help Zhang Shuang speak.
"Queen Mother, Yang Biao is old and mediocre, please dismiss him. Tai Lieutenant Zhang Wei is not lightly sane, and his ministers ask him to be dismissed. Sikong Yuan Kui is not only old and mediocre, but his nephew Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu abandoned the official and died, and the ministers were invited to sit together and kill the three clans. ”
In a situation, Zhang Shuang had already expected that at this moment, he was ruthless, and he was resolute and arbitrary, and said lightly.
"Exactly."
The Queen Mother said.
"Queen Mother, old minister." Zhang Wei bowed again and again.
"Queen Mother, please consider the Han family and reprimand Zhang Shuang." Yang Biao was in tears.
"Zhang Shuang, you dare to kill me??? I am the Yuan family of Runan, the third prince of the fourth world, and a famous family for many generations. Yuan Kui was both shocked and angry, and shouted.
"Where is Zhou Cang?" Zhang Shuang said lightly.
"Why don't you dare!" Zhou Cang laughed fiercely, sonorously, pulled out the long sword at his waist, and directly cut off Yuan Kui's head, and donated blood gushing three feet away.
The ministers were shocked, Yang Biao, and Zhang Wei were dumbfounded.
"Hey!" Zhou Cang smiled, put his sword into the sheath, and returned to his seat.
Not long after, Hu Ben entered the palace and pulled Yang Biao and Zhang Wei out, but Yuan Kui's corpse deliberately did not move. Donate blood, the head, and the head of Yuan Kui, the third prince of the fourth world.
In one day, one of the three dukes was killed and two were deposed.
The ministers are silent.
"Okay, the three princes are vacant. Is there anyone who has a choice for the general? Empress Dowager He sighed in her heart, looked up and asked Zhang Shuang.
"Serving the whole horse, famous, and capable. It can be commonplace. ”
"Counseling the doctor Ma Riyan, well-known in the world, can be Situ."
Zhang Shuang has already been selected, and said. One of these two people was the former Chen Liujun Shou, his henchmen. One is Cai Yong's friend, which can be regarded as a roundabout relationship.
It is trusted by Zhang Shuang.
"What about the captain?" Empress Dowager He asked.
"The minister invites the abolition of the Taiwei as the great Sima, and the minister invites himself to take it himself, as the general, the great Sima, with this prestige, and the government of the court!" Zhang Shuang arched his hand.
"Entering the horse is all Sikong, entering the horse Riyan is Situ, and the marquis. Enter the general Zhang Shuang as the general, the great Sima, record the Shangshu, give the fake Huang Yue, the military governor of the world, the sword on the palace, into the dynasty unyielding, praise and worship nameless, such as Xiao He story. ”
"The new emperor ascended the throne and granted amnesty to the world. The rewards of the vassals and knights are different. Strike! ”
Empress Dowager He said.
As she spoke, Empress Dowager He waved her sleeves and led the Son of Heaven Liu Wei away. At this moment, she is far more prestigious than when Liu Hong was in the court, as if she was the queen of Lu back then.
"This woman really can hold the scene." Zhang Shuang smiled slightly in his heart, led the ministers on his face, and bowed: "No." ”
On this day, the general, the great Sima Zhang Shuang, relied on the power of the Queen Mother on the inside, and the capital of the strong generals outside, and the power of Luoyang. Kill the emperor and be invincible. (To be continued......)
