Chapter 14: The Imperial Horse in the Western Suburbs (Part 2)
"Mengde, Ben Chu, this is Gongsun Yi."
Yang Yi was shocked in his heart, and looked at the situation, only to see the short-looking man and the burly, handsome and mighty armor general next to him all stepped forward and saluted respectfully, these two people are worthy of being dragons among people, even if they stand among the generals, they are clearly distinguishable like a crowd of chickens.
It's just that Yang Yi knows very well that in the next ten years, Yuan Shao will defeat Gongsun Zhan, force him to die, and dominate the four states in the lower reaches of the Yellow River with great power, becoming the most powerful prince at that time.
Another person, Cao Cao, although only seven feet tall, is not to be underestimated, and in the next few years, he will jump up, own several states, become a prince, and compete with Yuan Shao of Hebei in Guandu.
Cao Cao and Yuan Shao may not have thought that they would fight to the death in Guandu one day in the future.
The two of them just arched their hands and didn't say much, not to mention that if they said too much, they would lose not to mention that by the emperor's side, Cao Cao and Yuan Shao advanced and retreated to a certain extent, neither humble nor arrogant, so they naturally would not please a young man who was dancing spoons.
"Feng Fang, Zhao Rong, I haven't seen Gongsun Gongzi yet."
Emperor Han Ling asked a group of generals to come forward one by one to salute, Yang Yi cautiously and respectfully returned the salute one by one, Yang Yi is very clear, the current status is due to Emperor Han Ling, when Emperor Han Ling Yan goes west, Yang Yi's status is short-lived, if it is arrogant, I am afraid it will cause a lot of annoyance.
On the school field in the eastern suburbs, the horse raised his neck and neighed, but Emperor Han Ling sat sullen all the time, looking at the sturdy Western Regions BMW with flickering eyes, and planned to get up and forward many times, but in the end he had no choice but to give up.
Yang Yi saw it in his eyes, walked outside the military tent as soon as possible, whispered a few words to the accompanying guard Luliang, and returned to Emperor Han Ling's side.
"The treasure horse of the Western Regions has come from afar, are you willing to control it?"
For the generals, one is a war horse, two are weapons, three love armor, all three are life-saving things on the battlefield, no one is not full of enthusiasm for it, I heard that you can ride a BMW in the Western Regions, all the generals are eager to try, in their opinion, if you can show your face in front of Emperor Han Ling, the future career will be smooth sailing.
Only Cao Cao sneered again and again, quietly distancing himself from the rest of the crowd who were eager to try.
Yuan Shao, who looked handsome and mighty beside him, was a little moved, but he only groaned slightly, and also stood aside and stopped stepping forward.
Yang Yi shook his head secretly, he really didn't know if these eager generals were brave or reckless, and they didn't comprehend the holy will at all.
Emperor Han Ling's body was weak, he wanted to gallop on a horse but couldn't, he was already bored in his heart, a word of temptation, these generals did not hurriedly refuse, but were eager to try, wouldn't it rob Emperor Han Ling's face.
Sure enough, seeing that the generals were eager to try, Emperor Han Ling's face suddenly turned pale, and the generals who originally planned to behave in front of Emperor Han Ling were frightened, and they didn't know where to offend the emperor, Emperor Han Ling was notoriously moody, killing people was just a word, and there was no chance to explain.
At this time, Yang Yi saw that the time was ripe and stepped forward with a delicate saddle in his hand, and deliberately put it in front of him when he walked forward, so that Emperor Han Ling could see it as much as possible, and noticed the strange thing in Yang Yi's hand, Emperor Han Ling couldn't help but ask in confusion: "What is Aiqing holding in his hand?" ”
"I heard that Your Majesty was pleased to get the BMW of the Western Regions, and I have the courage to build a saddle for Your Majesty to control the war horse!"
"I've heard that Aiqing is good at studying the art of organs, and it seems that what he said today is true, since this is the case, it is better to give it a try." Emperor Han Ling was overjoyed, but he didn't try it himself, but swept towards everyone with interest.
"I heard that Cao Mengde is proficient in riding, so it's better to show it." Emperor Han Ling glanced at Yang Yi, then turned to look at Cao Cao and said, "I'm tired of Aiqing." ”
"This is Weichen's honor." Unlike before, this is the opportunity to really show his face, taking advantage of the BMW in the Western Regions, Cao Cao looked at Yang Yi deeply and was grateful.
Although Cao Cao is short in stature, he rides on a tall horse, and he is powerful for a while, and the saddle is powerful, which carries the weight of the body very well, and he is even more handy at controlling the BMW of the Western Regions.
Cao Cao secretly thought in his heart: "If the war horse is equipped with a saddle, whether it is a spear or a slash and arrow, it can be handy to exert greater combat effectiveness, and this small saddle will inevitably play a pivotal role in military battles." ”
Cao Cao naturally sensed the huge military value of the saddle, and while he was overjoyed, he rode his horse quietly, galloping around the school field.
This BMW in the Western Regions is a tribute, it is a great honor to be able to ride on behalf of the emperor, Emperor Han Ling on the side of the Han Dynasty kept clapping his hands and applauding, and praised Cao Cao, and a group of envious generals also praised their sponsorship loudly, Yuan Shao's cold gaze swept towards Yang Yi from time to time, as if he was holding a grudge and recommended Cao Cao but not to him.
Yang Yi naturally noticed Yuan Shao's cold threatening eyes, in fact, Yang Yi didn't want to make a feud with Yuan Shao, but the Gongsun clan and the Yuan clan would have a battle sooner or later, even if Yang Yi was respectful and had a good relationship, there would still be a rivalry on the battlefield in the future, and there would be no room for relaxation.
At present, the most important thing for Yang Yi is to borrow the royal horse to make Cao Cao owe a great favor that cannot be refused, but Yang Yi does not know whether the butterfly effect of his arrival will affect the course of history, and whether Cao Cao can defeat Yuan Shao in the future battle of Guandu, Yang Yi does not know.
When Cao Cao rode his horse back, Emperor Ling of Han got up on a whim and planned to ride his horse, but the moment he suddenly got up, he suddenly stumbled and fell to the side.
Xia Yun, Guo Sheng and other eunuchs who accompanied him suddenly panicked, Emperor Han Ling was their umbrella, and it was also the reason why they could be superior in the court, the ruler above the courtiers, if Emperor Han Ling had an accident, the eunuchs would lose the capital to settle down.
Especially at the critical moment of competing with foreign relatives, a group of eunuchs were panicked and worried, and they stepped forward to investigate the recent situation of Emperor Han Ling, but they were quickly blocked by the surrounding forbidden army.
The leader Jian Shuo was quite calm, and immediately summoned the imperial doctor to come forward, and after a while, he cautiously escorted the groggy Emperor Han Ling back to the palace.
Although a group of generals and civil officials were angry and commanded the party there, issued orders on behalf of the emperor, and were forced to retreat if they wanted to step forward, most of the guards who defended the emperor were Jian Shuo's cronies, and they did not give a lot of civil and military face at all.
Cao Cao and the others could only watch Jian Shuo escort the unconscious Emperor Han Ling away, and Yang Yi, who was standing on the side, did not come up, and it was already an open secret that the Shiren group led by He Jin planned to slaughter the eunuchs.
It's just that I didn't think that the general He was already in a different place, the palace was in chaos, Yuan Shao and others rushed into the palace with the army and slaughtered, if Yang Yi showed an attitude of being close to the eunuch at this moment, it was really playing with fire**.
From beginning to end, the chief general He Jin and the chief eunuch Zhang Rang and Zhao Zhong did not appear, when the emperor was in the eastern suburbs of the imperial horse, the two groups must have been competing against each other, competing for core power, and the relationship between the eunuchs and the scholars headed by He Jin has long been irreconcilable.
Back in the mansion, Yang Yi went deep into the house, the news was closed and he was not clear about the changes in the imperial court, and he could only wait and see what happened for the future, but Cao Cao came during the period, and Yang Yi also made a favor and handed over the saddle drawings generously.
A few days later, Yang Yi went to the palace under the leadership of Jian Shuo, although he was surprised that Emperor Han Ling actually ordered him to go to the court without official qualities, and Yang Yi could only go to the holy order, although Jian Shuo smiled all the way without saying a word, but Yang Yi had a plan in his heart.
Before leaving, he changed into the black official uniform of the courtiers brought by Jian Shuo, which followed the tradition of the Qin people and remained black until today.
After layers of investigation, Yang Yi, who entered the palace, looked away, the palace pavilions were lined up along the way, and the building layout was neat and orderly, especially between the doors, it was like connecting with the sky, and the momentum was magnificent.
Yang Yi remembered that the imperial palace in Luoyang in the Eastern Han Dynasty was divided into two palaces, the south palace was the place where the courtiers and emperors held meetings, and the north palace was the residence of the concubines.
When Yang Yi followed all the way to Nangong, he was connected by the roof-covered compound road, and learned from Jian Shuo where that this compound road was seven miles long from north to south, and the three roads extended side by side, and the middle one was the emperor's special imperial road, and the two sides were the roads taken by the ministers and waiters.
Here every ten steps there are tiger ben people standing angrily, standing on the side of the two compartments, very powerful, but also to the Luodu Palace to add a bit of solemnity.
Every time I entered the door, I bowed and saluted, bowed to the emperor in the deep palace, and finally came to the South Palace where the ministers were deliberating.
Solemn and solemn, the luxurious atmosphere of the Nangong hall is close in front of you, take off your shoes and socks and enter the hall according to the etiquette, the feet of the Qin and Han dynasties show respect, only the top dignitaries can socks and sit on the table.
The time has come, Yang Yi followed the ministers to take off their shoes and walked into the main hall, standing on the left and right, Emperor Han Ling waved his hand, only to see a smiling white eunuch stepped forward to open the holy decree and announced the holy decree in a loud voice, just as Yang Yi guessed, today is the day to form a new army and announce the eight schools of the West Garden, Cao Cao, Yuan Shao and others are one of the eight schools of the West Garden.
The head He Jin's face was pale, how could he have thought that Emperor Han Ling, who had always been dizzy, would dare to cut his military power so blatantly, especially when he heard that Jian Shuo served as the captain of the upper military academy, commanded the remaining seven captains, and was in charge of the Tiger Ben army of the Gongwei Jing Division, even he He Jin was also dispatched by Jian Shuo.
Although He Jin knew that this was the instigation of the ten permanent servants to play with power, his heart was full of anger, but he was helpless, the eunuchs were already monstrous, and the inner court was full of eunuchs, and now he was even more unscrupulous in his military power, if he did not get rid of it as soon as possible, he was afraid that the position of the general would be difficult to protect, so he could only brush his sleeves and go away to show his anger.
Yang Yi, who was standing among the ministers, leaned over slightly and looked around carefully, and most of the heroes and powerhouses who would compete for the world in the future were ranked here. Later generations all commented on the eunuchs who rebelled against the country, and the relatives of those who took power, but they didn't know that these courtiers were also fueling the troubles and getting caught up in it.
