Chapter 12 Foreign Aid
That night, he spread out a topographical map of Hedong County on the desk, knelt there and pondered his brows, his fingers repeatedly scratching and pulling on the map.
For a long time, his food was fixed in one place, and his eyes gradually became clear.
There, it is Dongyuan County in the southeast corner of Hedong County, about 100 miles northwest of the Luoyang River.
The next day, Ji Ping met Zhang Liao at He Hou.
He Houzheng was asking Zhang Liao about something, and when he saw Ji Ping coming over, he called: "Emperor, this is the Zhang Liao you want to see." ”
Her expression was still solemn at this time, but Ji Ping could sense that her mother's eyes seemed to be much softer than before, and she was not so stern.
What he didn't know was that He Hou was in a bad mood these days, the eldest brother He Jin wanted to eradicate the eunuchs, but his mother and second brother He Miao strongly objected, and said that the elder brother had different intentions, which made her annoyed, and she could only feel comfortable when she saw her only son.
Originally, she felt that her son's temperament was too cowardly, so she was very strict, so that her son was a little afraid of her, but in recent days, she has changed her son's temperament, and she is much closer to her, she is very happy in her heart, and her son is not as strict as before.
Of course, this is also the result of Ji Ping's efforts, and now in the palace, except for Geng Zhong, the only thing he can rely on is his mother, and he has tried to resolve the distance between mother and son in the past few days.
For more than ten days, he went to He Hou every day to talk and chat with her, and it really worked.
Zhang Liao entered the palace for the first time, and now he is just a teenager, and he looks a little cramped when he sees the Son of Heaven and the Queen Mother. He was already ready to get up and go to Bingzhou to recruit troops, but he didn't expect the general to summon him again, saying that it was summoned by the Queen Mother. He was a little stunned at the time, especially under the strange gaze of the great general He Jin, and he was even more apprehensive.
He thought that he was just a pawn, how could the Queen Mother notice him? It's his original boss Ding Yuan who hasn't seen the Queen Mother yet.
On the way to the palace, he even wondered if the Queen Mother was mistaken, and now when he heard the Queen Mother, he knew that it was the new emperor who was looking for him, and he couldn't help but look up at the Son of Heaven slightly, and lowered his head again.
It is very rude to look directly at the superior, especially in the face of today, although the Son of Heaven looks good, but the young man is always a little willful, in case he wants to cure his disrespectful sins, it will be troublesome.
Ji Ping looked at Zhang Liao in front of him, the current Zhang Liao was only about twenty years old, his face was slightly yellow, his sword eyebrows were flying, and he was quite heroic.
He smiled and said, "Wen Yuan sits, don't be restrained." ”
The Son of Heaven actually knows his own words? Zhang Liao was even more surprised in his heart, looked at He Hou, and He Hou said: "Your Majesty Xià sits, sit down." ”
After Zhang Liao sat down, Ji Ping smiled, took He Hou's hand and shook it, and said with a shy face: "Queen Mother, you go and rest for a while, it's rare for a child to meet a peer and chat casually with Wen Yuan." ”
He is also stubborn, and now that the catastrophe is coming, he can't care about anything, and besides, he is only fourteen years old in this life, and it is nothing to put aside his face and sell a cute life to his mother.
When He Hou saw Ji Ping's shy face, he was stunned for a moment, and then his solemn face suddenly dissolved, and he couldn't stop giggling, and after a while, he poked Ji Ping's forehead with his fingers, and said with a slight annoyance: "Good boy, who did you learn from such a slippery head, the Son of Heaven must have prestige." ”
Although she said this, her face was full of doting smiles, and she got up and walked out of the palace.
This situation was somewhat unexpected by Ji Ping, and he took a deep breath, his eyes a little sour, because he saw the tears in his eyes when He Hou turned around.
It turns out that the empress dowager who is in power has always loved her son.
In fact, the original Ji Ping still thought that He Hou's methods were too ruthless, but these days, after experiencing scenes of intrigue and fighting, he also has a little understanding of He Hou in his heart.
The court is originally a special world, and there is no common sense in it, especially when the Spirit Emperor is faint and the ten permanent servants are rampant, there is no so-called feelings, family affection and ethics.
And He Hou is just a poor person struggling to survive, once others gain power, her fate will be miserable. It can be seen from the plan of the ten permanent servants that the tip of the iceberg is still dancing on the tip of the knife, even though he is now in power.
Moreover, in the Eastern Han Dynasty, among the empress dowagers and the dictatorship of foreign relatives, there was no shortage of people with good power, such as Liang Ji, a foreign relative, when he was in power, he had to grasp the emperor's life at that time, and the slightest incident had to be grasped clearly, and the emperor was walking on thin ice. And He Hou may be from a humble background, but he doesn't have such a strong power**.
After experiencing the scene just now, Ji Ping suddenly understood something in his heart.
To say something that he himself couldn't believe, he didn't know how to get along with his son before!
Because Liu Wei grew up in Shi Dao's family since he was a child, He Hou never took care of children. Empress He loves her son very much, especially when this son has grown up outside the palace since he was a child, the more she loves her.
And her way of loving may be to create a strong imperial power for her son and educate her son to be a good emperor. Perhaps her unscrupulous means are all to pave the way for her son to take power.
In fact, this is the luckiest thing since Ji Ping crossed over, if his mother is also cool about power and manipulates her son, he will definitely die or live.
What he didn't know was that at this time, he drove away the eunuchs and maids around him outside the palace, and shed tears alone like rain, but his face was full of joy.
In the hall, Ji Ping was silent for a long time, and suddenly remembered that there was another Zhang Liao here, he looked at it intently, Zhang Liao lowered his head slightly at this time, but Ji Ping could still feel his surprise and surprise.
He froze and said with a smile: "Wen Yuan seems to be a little surprised? ”
Zhang Liao said respectfully: "The last general really didn't expect His Majesty and the Queen Mother to have such a deep mother-son relationship. ”
Ji Ping smiled gently: "Although I am the Son of Heaven, I am also the Son of Man, although my mother is the Queen Mother, she is also my mother, Wen Yuan doesn't have to be too surprised, and he doesn't have to be too restrained." ”
Just this sentence made Zhang Liao's eyes hot, not that his tears were low, but in this era, which emperor would say such things to his courtiers? Those courtiers and scholars, who are not arrogant and arrogant, look down on these children of low background at all, not to mention that he is now just a little-known pawn.
Zhang Liao's voice was slightly choked: "The last general's parents died early, and I am really envious of the relationship between His Majesty and the Queen Mother's mother and son." ”
Ji Ping was stunned and sighed: "I didn't expect Wen Yuan to have a bad fate." ”
"It was killed by the alien Koubian." Zhang Liao's voice carried a bit of hatred. He was born in Yanmen County, Bingzhou, Xianbei Xiongnu often Koubian, I don't know how many people were killed and taken captive.
Ji Ping's mood was a little heavy, and he said silently: "It is the incompetence of the Son of Heaven that makes the people repeatedly bullied by foreign races. ”
In his heart, he was a little more determined to fight against aliens.
Hearing the Son of Heaven blaming himself, Zhang Liao hurriedly bowed again: "Your Majesty is really benevolent, and the alien Koubian has existed since ancient times, how can you blame Your Majesty?" ”
"I am the Son of Heaven, and if I am powerless to protect my people, I am derelict in my duty." Ji Ping smiled bitterly: "What's more, I, the son of heaven, is even more of a wreck, in this palace, I can't even control my own life and death, how can I describe it with two words." ”
When Zhang Liao heard Ji Ping's words, his face showed a look of horror, and then he gritted his teeth and resolutely bowed down: "Your Majesty, but if you are sent, you will never give up." ”
Ji Ping went down to help him up: "The general sent you to recruit troops this time, I don't know what Wenyuan's plans are?" ”
Zhang Liao said: "The last general was born in Bingzhou, once served as a county official, and then followed Ding Gong, is quite familiar with Bingzhou, this time he went to Bingzhou, the general's military order is urgent, and the approved grain and grass military salaries can raise more than 1,000 soldiers, and they can return to Beijing in two months at the earliest. ”
Zhang Liao in history, although he finally took refuge in Cao Cao, but that was a non-human person he had met before, and throughout his life, he was indeed a loyal person, not to mention that he, the son of heaven, at least nominally commanded the general, was more orthodox.
Ji Ping no longer hesitated, and said categorically: "Wenyuan, I will ask the queen mother to give you some more grain and grass salaries, you go to Bingzhou or Jizhou, only recruit elite people, not more than 1,000, after recruitment, do not return to Beijing, quickly sneak into Hedong County, strict training, I have a lot of use." ”
Zhang Liaolisuo got up and clasped his fists and saluted: "Order!" ”
Ji Ping handed Zhang Liao a booklet: "The cause of the matter is all here, Wen Yuan can adapt to the situation according to the situation, and entrust it to Wen Yuan as soon as possible." ”
This is the plan he wrote all night last night, for which he deliberately found the map of Hedong County treasured in the palace, and at the same time, he had also been to the Jinnan generation in his previous life, knew some of the situation, and then combined Xun You's strategy, he wrote this booklet.
Zhang Liao took the booklet, flipped through it, his body trembled violently, and he bowed to the ground again: "The minister is afraid that he will not have enough virtue and talent, and he will miss the important event of His Majesty." ”
Today's Zhang Liao is still a teenager, not a good general of the five sons who have been trained in battle for a long time in history, and he is very worried about the trust of the Son of Heaven.
Ji Ping saw that Zhang Liao was a little unconfident, no wonder, after all, this matter is related to the safety of the Son of Heaven, let a teenager do it, the pressure is naturally very great, he smiled at the moment, and encouraged gently: "Wen Yuan, I believe in my own vision and choice, let go of the courage to do it, if it fails, it is also the will of heaven to do, I should accept my fate, how can I blame Wen Yuan." ”
Zhang Liao fell to the ground and choked up: "The last general will be broken to pieces to repay His Majesty's kindness." ”
Watching Zhang Liao leave, Ji Ping couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, although the current Zhang Liao is young and has not gone through too much experience, but if he can stand out in history, he must have his superiority, I just hope that God will not hack himself again.
Not long after Zhang Liao left, He Hou came back, Ji Ping asked He Hou to give Zhang Liao more military salaries, and also asked for an additional batch of boats, from Luoyang to Bingzhou, to cross the Yellow River, always need boats.
He Hou didn't ask much, not only approved grain and grass, military salaries, weapons and ships, but also sent an edict to the general He Jin, appointing Zhang Liao as the Sima of the general's mansion.
Ji Ping was overjoyed for a while, and he didn't care about the majesty of the Son of Heaven, hugged his mother and kissed him fiercely on the face, and even said good things, and the happy Queen He giggled.
He is still a fourteen-year-old minor, and it is not too much to be cute to his mother, which is Ji Ping's self-comfort.
I really can't help but be unhappy, you know, the official position of Sima of the other department is very special.
