Chapter 20 (the second change) The fragrance of falling flowers, the rain is not dead, the autumn weathers Luoyang, farewell to the clear sky, there is more twilight rain, the rain moistens the mountains and rivers, the sea of clouds is entangled, the sky is more and more clear, and the scenery of Luodu is nostalgic and difficult to return.

Time flies, in the blink of an eye, a few months are fleeting, on the school field of the Northern Army's 'Anointing' battalion, more than 1,000 soldiers are practicing endlessly, these days Yang Yi has time, he invites other Northern Army generals to go out to eat, drink and have fun, plus there is a lot of money and silk, and the relationship between the two is quite harmonious.

Not only are the weapons and armor of the 1,500 armor soldiers very sophisticated, and the supply is more than enough, but they even got nearly 100 war horses, anyway, these war horses were originally from the 'Anointing' battalion, and they had short hands and short mouths.

In winter, the weather became colder and colder, and the soldiers who practiced couldn't even hold their weapons, and the cold wind hit and shivered, but in such cold weather, the intensity of combat training became more and more intense.

As the saying goes, winter training is three nine summer training, in this bitter cold, you can better hone the willpower of these recruits, among the armor, a group of white horses from the body, as the head officer, all the training intensity is more than three times that of these Ding Zhuang, so that no one dares to be lazy.

More importantly, Gongsun Yi, as the military commander, also joined the military formation for training, ate and lived with everyone, and did not have any privileges.

These days are also peaceful, except for sending people to send money and silk to those former 'anointing' battalion generals who spend all day drinking and drinking every day, every day is training and training.

After two months of training, at least the order can be prohibited, and a group of recruits rushed to kill with knives and guns in hand, but they looked like combatable soldiers, but Yang Yi and Tian Yu both understood that an army that had not experienced blood and fire would never become a combatable army.

A few days ago, Jian Shuo came alone, and brought a lot of money, and asked about the situation of Gongsun Zhan's border Youzhou, although he didn't say much about the things in the palace, but Yang Yi knew very well that this was leaving a back road, presumably Emperor Yan of Han Ling would be driving in a few days.

Yang Yi hurriedly summoned Tian Yu to the military tent and immediately ordered the implementation of the original plan.

"It's finally time to do it, these bunnies have been uncles for almost three months!"

"The plan can't catch up with the changes, Tian Junhou must be careful, don't leak the news, otherwise we will definitely die." Yang Yi got up and told again, this time the plan was dangerous, but Yang Yi had no way to retreat, so he had to take risks.

"Don't worry, my lord, even if it leaks, it is all done by the lower officials alone, and it has nothing to do with adults." Tian Yu hugged his fists and saluted, his eyes were full of determination.

"Don't forget, we're both good and bad."

Yang Yi naturally will not allow Tian Yu to sacrifice to save the overall situation, even if the matter is revealed, Yang Yi will choose to flee from Kyoto from the tunnel that has just been opened, and would rather flee from Luoyang than sacrifice Tian Yu, who is the only general, just hope that things will not develop in the worst way.

In the Nangong dormitory, a group of eunuchs and palace maids are in a hurry, the emperor is seriously ill and does not go to court for a long time, everyone is worried and careful.

The door of the dormitory slowly opened, and a low summons came from Zhang Rang, the waiter of Zhongchang: "Decoction." ”

Immediately, Xiao Huangmen respectfully stepped forward and handed over the warm decoction, and now, only Zhang Rang and others, who were often servants, dared to stay by the side of the dying Emperor Han Ling.

In a side room, the phantom reflected by candlelight swayed by the wall, and Zhang Rang and other eunuchs sat around with sad faces.

"I think Your Majesty only has one or two days left." Sighing slightly, he picked up the teacup and sighed, "What should you and I do?" ”

"Your Majesty likes Liu Xie, so naturally he wants to make him the emperor, but Liu Wei is here, how can Empress He and the general He Jin give up." Duan Qi, who was also a regular attendant, said helplessly.

"For today's plan, the only way to do this is to punish He Jin first and then set up a new king."

"Everyone, retreat, let me think about this matter in the long run." Zhang Rang drank the tea and waved his hand to retreat from others.

At this moment, a white eunuch staggered into the wing room and knelt down and said, "My lord, something is wrong, Your Majesty...... Your Majesty, he's gone! ”

Zhang Rang got up in amazement, the teacup in his hand suddenly fell to pieces, and only then did he react and said lightly: "You quickly ask the captain to be the captain, and immediately give an order, and those who dare to leak the news will be killed immediately!"

Zhang Rang's eyes narrowed slightly, it was difficult to hide the murderous aura, Emperor Yan of the Han Dynasty, he could take this opportunity to get rid of He Jin to prevent future troubles, and then praise the Empress Dowager Dong, and set aside Liu Xie, this Han world is not his Zhang Rang has the final say, so as not to have a long night and many dreams, and he must do it as soon as possible.

"General He Jin has already left?" In the barracks of the Northern Army, Yang Yi received a report from Bai Ma Yi from Wu Chang Luliang, and walked back and forth in the military tent for a while.

"Exactly, Your Majesty summoned, the general naturally did not dare to delay a little."

"I think He Jin is just arguing for Liu for the throne, go, you must arrive at the Jiade Hall before He Jin."

The horse's hooves were fast, and Yang Yi rode the horse at a gallop, fortunately, there were many royal horses in these days, and the stirrups were fixed, so as not to fall off the horse, but the appearance was really a little embarrassing.

The lights were bright in the distance, and a group of heroic forbidden troops were guarding this place, seeing Yang Yi coming, the leading officer stepped forward and said loudly: "The forbidden place of the palace, those who come will retreat!" ”

"Get out of the way, if you delay Your Majesty's important affairs, I'll ask you!"

The officer of the forbidden army was stunned, but he recognized that it was Gongsun Yi who rode a horse, and he heard that Gongsun Yi was valued by Emperor Han Ling, and there was only one person accompanying him on the left and right, so he did not stop him after hesitation.

Yang Yi secretly breathed a sigh of relief, if the forbidden army blocked it, I am afraid that it would not be possible to enter the Nangong today, and every time he encountered the forbidden army's obstruction, he concocted the same method, and it was dangerous to catch up with the general He Jin, who had already arrived at the front door of the palace.

Yang Yilang staggered over and dismounted, and hurriedly stepped forward to stop the general and said eagerly: "The general must not enter the palace, Zhang Rang and others have already arranged manpower, and they want the general's life!" ”

"Oh, how did you find out?" He Jin looked at Yang Yi with a smile.

Yang Yi pretended to hesitate slightly, and made up his mind to clasp his fists and bow and lower his voice: "A little yellow door serving by His Majesty's side was bribed by the lower officials, and I learned that Your Majesty has been killed, and Zhang Rang and others have arranged for a knife and axe. ”

"After learning the news, the official can go to the general's mansion, but the general has been summoned to the palace, and the road ahead is dangerous, so I hope the general will think twice."

"Huangkou Xiao'er is talking nonsense, dare to rumor that Your Majesty Yan is driving, get out, and I will clean you up when I see Your Majesty in person!" He Jin coldly brushed his sleeves away.

Yang Yi's eyes were cold, this He Jin was so stubborn and self-serving, no wonder he died tragically at the hands of eunuchs in the future, but Yang Yi's goal has been achieved, that is, to let He Jin understand his Gongsun Yi's position, and someone will inevitably stop He Jin in the back, this person is Sima Panyin, Jian Shuo's subordinate.

He Jin's face was full of anger, a small Zhijin Wucheng actually dared to point fingers in front of him, in fact, He Jin had already classified Gongsun Yi as a diehard faction of Emperor Han Ling, and thought that Yang Yi was ordered to prevent him from entering the palace to fight for the throne for Liu Wei, how could he have a good face.

In addition, He Jin originally laughed in front of the group and said that Yang Yi's support was only for a month, but now that March has passed, He Jin only feels that his face is gloomy, so how can he believe that Gongsun Yi came suddenly.

At this moment, a general not far away came quickly, stepped forward to stop He Jin, and said eagerly: "The general borrowed a step to speak." ”

"Pan Sima, the emperor must not delay in summoning me, what are you stopping me from?" He Jin was a little helpless, there were actually two people who stopped him in a row today, but this Pan Yin was He Jin's old friend in his early years, and he had always had a very strong personal relationship, although He Jin was angry, he would not face him coldly.

"The general doesn't know, Your Majesty has already taken the driver, Zhang Rang, Jian Shuo and others are not mourning, and they want the general's life!"

"There is such a thing, I am wrong to blame that Gongsun Yi, this kindness is deeply felt, and he will be rewarded in the future." He Jin's eyes were full of murder, and he hated the eunuchs and his party to the core, but at this time, he didn't have many seizures in Nangong, so he turned around cautiously and quickly, and rode his horse out of Nangong.

"Who leaked the news!" In the wing room, Zhang Rang glanced at the eunuchs, his face was pale and he questioned angrily.

A group of eunuchs knew that the catastrophe was coming, all of them were pale, Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty died of illness, the big tree that he had relied on collapsed, and the general He Jin, who held the real power, hated them to the core, and there was no support inside, no strong reinforcement outside, and it had reached the point of exhaustion.

Now the Xiyuan New Army led by Jian Shuo alone cannot compete with the powerful Northern Army, and once He Jin leads the troops to kill, everyone has only a dead end.

"I'll take a break." The eunuchs lamented one after another, and they were all in trepidation at this point.

"Jian Shuo, you quickly and strictly guard against it, you must not let He Jin enter the inner court, we still have a chance to survive after relying on Dong!" Zhang Rang was full of eagerness to order.

"Don't worry, Lord Zhang, the lower officials will inspect it personally!" Jian Shuo got up suddenly, grabbed the handle of the knife and walked out of the chamber quickly.

"Lord Zhang, do we really want to attach ourselves to Empress Dowager Dong?"

"Confused, although Empress Dowager Dong is now nominally the queen of heaven, but the power in the court is in the hands of He Jin, Your Majesty Yan drives, He Jin will inevitably try his best to ensure that Liu Bi ascends the throne, we naturally want to stand on the side of Empress He and support Liu Bi to ascend the throne, what I said just now was all for Jian Shuo."

A group of eunuchs suddenly realized, many of them had eunuchs, and they had already guessed Zhang Rang's plan, even if someone was friendly with Jian Shuo, when it was about his life, he could only sacrifice Jian Shuo to protect himself.

Zhang Rang pondered for a moment and said coldly: "Jian Shuo is loved by His Majesty, and he still has a close relationship with the Empress Dowager Dong, so the only way to do it today is to say that Jian Shuo did it alone, and to curry favor with the general with his head, and do it as soon as possible, as long as we beg Queen He, we must remember our old feelings before we can live." ”

"Don't worry, sir, this matter is in your hands!" Guo Sheng, the regular attendant, stepped forward to ask for his life.

"Be careful, don't alarm his subordinate forbidden army!"

Jian Shuo, who was patrolling the inner court, did not know that a group of eunuchs had planned to sacrifice him in order to save his life, and the night was hazy, and the cold frost fell all over the palace walls, surrounding the entire palace, and a desperate game of power was quietly and slowly staged.
