Chapter 128: Settled
Back in the West Garden, the sky was already completely dark, Xu Ji was already exhausted, Zhang Rang said so much to him was too huge, I'm afraid no one would have guessed that such a eunuch would stir up the Han world.
To be honest, Xu Ji didn't dare to imagine this, the situation in Dahan may be controllable now, but this is by no means the end, how could Zhang Rang stop his actions like this? And Xu Ji himself is now Zhang Rang's so-called expected future, Xu Ji is now difficult to protect himself, this so-called fellow villager will not have any good intentions, this Xu Ji is extremely sure, even if Liu Hong does not deal with Zhang Rang behind him, it makes him very worried, and at present, it seems that Liu Hong is far less terrible than Zhang Ranglai.
But even if Xu Ji clearly knows these ways, there is no way to avoid them, Xu Ji is now decisively impossible to leave Luoyang, before seeing Zhang Rang, Xu Ji thought that what he needed to face was only Liu Hong, and now it seems that his opponent is probably not the emperor, but the lord of the Zhongchang Servant, and even Xu Ji has a feeling that Zhang Rang is actually completely capable of solving He Jin, and the reason why He Jin is kept is just to paralyze Liu Hong and make him think that the two sides are checking and balancing each other, but in fact? I'm afraid that's not the case.
Everything in Xiyuan seemed very calm, but Xu Ji's heart was uncertain, so Xu Ji was not in the mood to pay attention to Dian Wei's inquiring face, he had to tell Guo Jia these news at this time, he really didn't know how to deal with it in the bureau, and the situation in Luoyang was too complicated, he was really a little light in it, and it was not easy for ants to survive. Xu Ji didn't think that he would have to seek more things.
The letter was written very briefly, and Xu Ji believed that Guo Jia could understand what he meant. At the moment, Xu Ji still has to face Liu Hong's disposal, although it has been a whole day since he arrived in Luoyang, he still has no shadow. Although the information revealed from Zhang Rang's words is that Liu Hong did not mean to embarrass himself, but this is not Liu Hong's decision after all, the mind of the person on the dragon chair can not be said, maybe it is just a temporary joke, where does Xu Ji dare to relax a little before the real edict is issued.
And Dian Wei naturally saw that Xu Ji was in a bad mood, and he didn't bother him, and even blocked Gao Shun and Le Jin's instructions on his behalf. I'm afraid that my own master can't handle things like this, and it's useless to ask. As for Xu Ji himself, he didn't get to this point, but he really didn't have the mood to deal with these trivial things.
The letter has already been sent out of the city, and this time Luoyang Xu Ji has a few people with shadows, which is just in handy at this time, and his surroundings are afraid that they have already been closely monitored, and only the people of the shadows have the ability not to alarm the people who monitor the letter out of the city. But although the letter had been sent, Xu Ji still had a sense of uneasiness lingering in his heart, and the psychological pressure brought to him by Zhang Rang was really huge. Xu Ji had to admit this, compared to this game of chess played by Zhang Rang, Xu Ji was really ashamed of himself, and thought that he was amazing. Now it seems that all the eunuchs are better at layout and planning than him, which makes Xu Ji a little gloomy.
I think Xu Ji has been planning for so many years, but after all, the pattern is too small. Zhang Rang's handwriting can be called big, this is a game of chess with the whole world as a chess piece. There are no opponents, no wins or losses. Everything is based on his own preferences, the so-called high place is unbearable, maybe it is such a realm, and he doesn't care about anything else.
But Xu Ji quickly got rid of such emotions, he didn't have the time or the power to hurt the spring and sorrow, the most important thing now is to figure out Liu Hong's plan, for Xu Ji what he wants to do most now is undoubtedly to escape from Luoyang, Zhang Rang is like a nightmare, Xu Ji believes that this guy will never let go of himself easily, but Xu Ji probably didn't expect that even if Liu Hong really issued an edict, it would be more desperate news for Xu Ji.
Of course, at this time, Liu Hong also had to face the endless debates in the Manchu court. In general, the formation of a new army can no longer be stopped, and the controversy is who is the leader of the army, according to Liu Hong's ideas, of course, his people are the best in the new army, but this is obviously not realistic, mutual compromise and forbearance is the main way in the court, Liu Hong of course can not do the ancestors' words, and the current situation may not allow him to say a word.
He Jin's side naturally wanted to stuff a few more people from his side into this new army, and the ten permanent servants led by Zhao Zhong naturally held the same idea, but these were obviously against Liu Hong's original intentions, and the two sides argued for a whole early dynasty for this matter without any result, although this was expected by Liu Hong, but he couldn't help but be very dissatisfied, and it was precisely because of this that Liu Hong strengthened his determination to regain power, He really can't accept his own world, his own country, but he can't make a decision, is this his Liu Hong's country? With this in mind, Liu Hong strengthened his determination.
"There is no need for the Qing family to argue, I have my own plans in my heart, the safety of Luoyang in the new military is in danger, and all matters will be discussed tomorrow and retreat." After that, Liu Hong got up and turned around to leave, leaving the ministers of the Manchu Dynasty looking at each other, He Jin was the most dissatisfied, his identity was a general, not to mention, even as the uncle of the country, Liu Hong should not treat him like this, but Liu Hong's actions this time made it clear that he did not intend to give face to anyone, which naturally included him He Jin.
He Jin endured this, and then looked at Zhao Zhong on the opposite side with a look of banter, he couldn't help but be full of anger again, this eunuch was clearly proud, and the irony that was not concealed at all really made He Jin rise with an evil fire, but He Jin was still somewhat concerned about the impact, so he could only snort coldly and looked at Zhao Zhong with his hand touching the saber on his waist, and then went straight away, Zhao Zhong behind him just said in a strange voice: "General, go slowly, don't panic." He Jin paused when he heard this, but he didn't look back, and then walked away again. It's not that he doesn't want to, but once he makes any inappropriate actions on this occasion, it is equivalent to slapping Liu Hong in the face.
It's just that this Liang Zi is getting deeper and deeper, and He Jin is certainly not a magnanimous gentleman, so as soon as he returned to the house, he immediately summoned Yuan Shao, who was his staff at the time, to discuss the matter.
Speaking of Yuan Shao. He Jin was quite proud that he could recruit him, and Yuan Shao had always had a close relationship with scholars. Since he conquered Yuan Shao, he has also brought him the support of many scholars, and Yuan Shao's reputation is quite high. has a very close relationship with Zhang Miao in the "Eight Kitchens", and the reason why He Jin noticed Xu Ji is that Zhang Miao was defeated by such a little-known kid, so he was just curious.
Yuan Shao came quickly, and his uncle Yuan Huai was also an official in the court, so he was not surprised that He Jin summoned him. Before Yuan Shao could sit down, He Jin said anxiously: "I knew what was happening in the court today?" After Yuan Shao sat down, he looked at He Jin and nodded: "Uncle has already told me, could it be that the general summoned me for this matter?" ”
Where can He Jin sit still, after hearing that Yuan Shao already knew about this, he walked back and forth in the hall, and said hurriedly as he walked: "The Holy Lord doesn't know why people are bewitching, but I He Jin is dedicated to the country but it ends up like this, can the affairs of the new army be without the participation of the general?" The eunuchs also tried in vain to get their hands on military power. How can people endure this? In the beginning, what do you think I should do? ”
Yuan Shao's face was calm, he stretched out his hand and touched his short beard and said: "The general doesn't have to worry, the general is the saint's family after all, presumably the saint will not put the general on the outside." He Jin couldn't hear these words of comfort, and he immediately spoke: "I didn't know anything at first, but I'm afraid it's true this time, the Holy Lord has already rejected the people I want to place in the new army, although the Holy Lord has also rejected the opinions of those eunuchs." ”
After hearing this, Yuan Shao smiled and said, "Then the general doesn't have to worry. Why can't the Holy One want to lead an army himself? Of course, He Jin couldn't say that he just couldn't accept that he was a general, so he said: "That's right, but now that the traitor is in charge, it's hard to say that the saint will not be bewitched." How can I, as a great general, sit idly by? "This is just a cover-up, why can't Yuan Shao see it? It's just that there's no need to debunk it.
"If that's the case, the general might as well let it go for the time being." Yuan Shao's answer was really puzzling to He Jin. Where can he be relieved in this matter, He Jin frowned and asked, "What did you mean in the first place?" Yuan Shao smiled and said, "The general might as well change his thinking." Since you can't recommend it from the front, why not knock it out on the side? There are not a few people who face the center to the general. Since you can recommend it through their mouths, why do you need the general to do it yourself? ”
He Jin couldn't help but be stunned when he heard this, he had always only thought about installing someone close to him, but he had never thought of borrowing the hands of others to do things for himself, Yuan Shao's words really made him feel suddenly, it can be seen that He Jin is indeed not a smart person, otherwise where would such a simple truth need to be explained by others. But Yuan Shao's words are not simply for He Jin's considerations, he is already at the age of entering the office, he wants to stay in Luoyang more than to serve elsewhere, but Luoyang has no suitable official position, and the new army formed by Liu Hong is the best choice, not only the emperor's direct subordinate, but also the real power position that can lead the army, Yuan Shao has no reason to miss it.
The reason why he would make such a suggestion to He Jin is very simple, the most suitable candidate for He Jin now is undoubtedly him Yuan Shao, Yuan Shao is the most qualified in terms of fame and qualifications, and He Jin has no better choice at this time.
As for He Jin's plans, Yuan Shao never really cared, his background and background gave him enough capital, and the role of accumulating fame by accumulating fame when he was young was to be able to enter the official career one day. He Jin is just a butcher in Nanyang, and behind Yuan Shao is the first gate in the world, Yuan Shao, so Yuan Shao has never really looked down on He Jin, and in his opinion, He Jin is just a step on his Yuan Shao's promotion path.
Yuan Shao will never miss this opportunity, and once he misses it, I am afraid that there will be no better opportunity in a short time, and now his friend Cao Cao has also come back from his previous seclusion, obviously he has a plan, Zhang Miao's new defeat to the nobody Yuan Shao didn't pay much attention to it, in his opinion, everyone will have a horse and a hoof, a small failure is not a big deal. So even though Jian Shuo brought the guy who defeated Zhang Miao back to Luoyang, he didn't care very much, and even persuaded He Jin not to ignore Xu Ji.
However, he probably didn't expect that this nobody, who he looked down on, would soon change his identity and become an existence with a higher status than him. When it was early in the morning again, He Jin was very quiet and did not say more, and Liu Hong was also very satisfied, so he also announced his plan very simply.
The Forces nouvelles will use the West Garden as a garrison. And all the soldiers are all newly recruited, and they are not drawn from the guards who were originally stationed in Luoyang. And this new army is called the West Garden Army because it is stationed in the West Garden, and there are eight captains in its army.
These are not the things that these courtiers care about. The only thing that can make them care is who the eight captains in the Xiyuan Army are, these eight became the captains of the Xiyuan Army and their identities were immediately different from the past, the Xiyuan Army was directly under Liu Hong's army, so you can imagine how these captains were treated.
But Liu Hong did not immediately announce the candidates for these eight captains, but the ministers did not dare to say anything, no one knew what Liu Hong planned to do, if he guessed wrong, he would be burned, and these old and sophisticated guys would never do these things. However, He Jin didn't care and said, "Your Majesty, who are these eight captains?" ”
Liu Hong turned his head and glanced at He Jin, who obviously had a little unconcealable anger on his face, and said slowly: "I have already decided two." For the rest, I want to see if you have any good candidates to recommend. ”
He Jin couldn't help but snort coldly when he heard this, there were more than one or two of the ones he recommended yesterday, obviously Liu Hong didn't take his words seriously at all, but He Jin just expressed an attitude like this, and he couldn't change anything now. At this time, there was already a lot of discussion in the court, it was nothing more than saying something about the candidate, and Liu Hong just looked at it with a smile but did not stop it.
Soon, someone came out and said to Liu Hong: "Your Majesty, there is a candidate for the minister." Liu Hong looked and saw that it was Yuan Huai, the chief lieutenant. So he smiled and said, "It's okay to say it." Yuan Huai said respectfully: "The minister has a nephew, who is quite talented, and he must be competent." ”
Liu Hong said with a strange face when he heard this: "Oh? Which is your nephew? Yuan Huai said: "It's Yuan Shao." Yuan Benchu. Hearing this name, Liu Hong smiled and said: "Yuan Qing's family is not afraid of people saying that you are favoritism?" With curiosity on his face, Yuan Huai smiled indifferently and said: "The so-called virtuous do not avoid relatives, although the little nephew is not a virtuous person, he does have some ability. If the little nephew really can't do it, then how dare the lower officials recommend him? With that, he retreated himself.
Liu Hong also smiled and said, "Okay." Count Yuan Shao. Who else are you going to choose from? ”
After discussing the entire early dynasty in this way, there was finally a result, and Liu Hong did not look at He Jin again from beginning to end. He Jin didn't say a word again, it was obvious that there was already an irreconcilable contradiction between He Jin and Liu Hong. However, the courtiers of the Manchu Dynasty did not care about these things at all.
What really makes people care is that the early dynasty only recommended six captains, and who will be the remaining two captains appointed by Liu Hong himself? That's what makes people curious. Not to mention others, He Jin wants to know who these two people are, and the Xiyuan Army is obviously respected by these two, the reason is very simple, they are the candidates appointed by the emperor himself, which is different from recommendation, this is the emperor's favor, and even to a certain extent, the real control of Xiyuan must be in the hands of these two captains who do not know their identities, and the other six are just Liu Hong's use to seal the mouth of the Manchu courtiers.
And Xu Ji, who was waiting for Liu Hong to deal with it, also received the holy decree after the end of the court, and Xu Ji knew that what he was waiting for was finally here. The one who came to read the decree was still the old face, and he was still the same as the old man.
This time, Jian Shuo's attitude towards Xu Ji was different from the previous lukewarm, not only was he polite a lot, but even some elders took care of the younger generations.
"Fengtian carrier, the emperor edict said, Chen Liudu post Xu Jiping thief meritorious, was framed by Shangguan for no reason, I have found out the truth, so I am exempted from the original responsibility, read Xu Ji is a young man, so he was promoted to the captain of the Tun cavalry, I hope Xu Ji will be more diligent and contribute to the country. Chin this! Although Jian Shuo read the holy decree, it was obviously the following, and Xu Ji didn't know what to do, he really didn't understand why Liu Hong would deal with him like this, this was a result he never thought of. Not only did he not punish him, but he also promoted himself, which is by no means an ordinary signal.
Seeing Xu Ji's blank face, Jian Shuo smiled and explained: "Captain Tuncai doesn't have to be like this, everything will be known tomorrow, and before long, you and I will be colleagues." Ignoring Xu Ji, he went straight back to the palace, and although Xu Ji's heart was stable, there were more doubts.
However, the night was not a long time, and soon the second day arrived, and Xu Ji quickly understood what Jian Shuo meant by his so-called "colleagues".
"From today onwards, a new army will be recruited in the West Garden, with a total of eight captains: Captain of the Army, Jian Shuo; Lieutenant of the Chinese Army, Yuan Shao; Lieutenant of the Lower Military Academy, Xu Ji; Lieutenant of the Military Academy, Cao Cao; Lieutenant Zuo, Zhao Rong; Lieutenant of the Right Colonel of the Auxiliary Army, Feng Fang; Captain Zuo, Xia Mou; Right lieutenant, Chun Yuqiong. This is a notice posted in the West Garden early in the morning, Xu Ji saw his name on it, Xu Ji didn't believe it originally, but it even said that he got the official position yesterday.
The book is clear, the military cadet is the captain, the tunqi captain, Xu Ji.
And Jian Shuo's so-called colleague Xu Ji finally understood, in the Xiyuan New Army, Jian Shuo was the chief captain.
And everything seems to have settled, but Xu Ji's heart is full of turmoil again, why did he inexplicably become the so-called captain of the Tun Cavalry from a criminal prisoner who was waiting for a sin? Why did he become the lieutenant of the so-called West Park New Army?
How many of them are involved with Zhang Rang? Although there was no possible murder, Xu Ji felt that more and bigger troubles had found him. (To be continued......)
