Chapter 232: Luoyang Crisis
Liu Ze summoned Pan Feng and ordered him to rush to Luoyang with the personnel of the Jinying Health Administration, to respond to the evacuation and aftermath of Jian Yong and Huitong Tianxia Qianzhuang, and secretly lurk in the capital, acting in the chaos. Liu Ze specifically instructed that the safety of Lu Zhi and Cai Yong and their families must be ensured-
When Pan Feng arrived in Luoyang, Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty had already died, and He Jin helped the crown prince Liu Wei to take the throne of the emperor, changed Yuan Guangxi, and Emperor Ling He Empress He was the queen mother. He Jin monopolized the power and wanted to punish the eunuchs, Zhang Rang and others pleaded with the Empress Dowager He, and the Empress Dowager He came forward to save the head of the ten permanent servants. However, Zhang Rang and others were in power during the Ling Emperor Dynasty, and how could they tolerate He Jin, who was born as a butcher, to abuse his power at this time, so he instigated the Empress Dowager Dong, the mother of the Ling Emperor, to fight for power with the Empress Dowager He.
The situation in Luoyang is already dangerous, all kinds of signs indicate that a storm is brewing, Jian Yong is worried, this is in the world's money, but there are nearly 10 billion dollars of money, once Luoyang is in chaos, the consequences are unimaginable.
At this time, Pan Feng arrived and brought the latest instructions from the lord, and Jian Yong ate a reassuring pill. According to Liu Ze's instructions, in order to maintain the stability of the foreign exchange market in the capital, Huitong Tianxia Qian Zhuang should be evacuated in batches and step by step, and first transfer most of the funds of Huitong Tianxia Qian Zhuang to the suburbs of Luoyang City, in case of a sudden accident in the capital, which will lead to a large amount of money trapped in the city. The lower limit of the evacuation timetable given by Liu Ze was when Dong Zhuo entered Beijing when the capital was in turmoil. As for why the lord concluded that the capital would be in chaos, Dong Zhuo's entry into the capital, no one could understand it, but the lord's order was to be carried out to the letter.
In June, Empress Dowager Dong suddenly died in the Hejian Yiting. There was a lot of rumors inside and outside the capital, saying that the Empress Dowager Dong was poisoned by He Jin, and for a while, the air in the capital suddenly became much more tense.
Pan Feng, Jian Yong, Zhou Cang and others discussed in the Qian Zhuang to discuss the final evacuation. After these days of preparation, most of the funds in the money bank have been secretly transferred out of Luoyang, although Huitong money is still open as usual, but it is already an empty shelf.
At this moment, a hearty laugh came from outside the door, and Pan Feng looked at it. It turned out to be Guan Hai who led a group of people to come. got up and greeted: "It turned out to be General Guan, but you came on the orders of the lord?" ”
Guan Hai smiled mysteriously: "I didn't come on the orders of the lord, but specially escorted the lord." As he spoke, the person behind Guan Hai flashed away. Standing in the middle. Who is it if it's not Liu Ze?
Pan Feng and the others were surprised and delighted. Hurry up to see the lord.
Liu Ze smiled and nodded, stepped forward to take Jian Yong's hand, and said, "In the past few years, let Xianhe support the overall situation in Luoyang." Great work. ”
Jian Yong and Liu Ze have been separated for several years, and they couldn't imagine seeing each other today, so they couldn't help but have slightly red circles in their eyes, and choked up: "Being able to worry about the Lord is really a matter of Yong's share, and there is no hard work." ”
"Why did the lord come to the capital in person?" Pan Feng was very surprised that Liu Ze appeared here. You must know that Liu Ze, as the governor of Pingyuan, is also the commander of Pingyuan County, and he is not allowed to enter Beijing without an edict from the court, and leaving the jurisdiction without permission is a felony to leave his post without permission.
Liu Ze smiled and said: "The world has changed abruptly, there will be a good show in the capital, I am a person who loves to join in the fun, how can I miss such a good show?" ”
"...... on the other side of the plain"
"The plains have Yun Changyi Devin and them sitting in the town, and it is expected to be safe. I'm just pretending to go out on patrol and come to the capital instead. Ziyi, pass the order, the news that I came to the capital must not be leaked. Liu Ze said that foreign officials who did not follow the edict to enter Beijing were regarded as complicit in rebellion, and Liu Ze did not want to tell the truth. Although the capital has been in turmoil for a few days, since then the princes have stood on their own, and no one can control anyone.
Pan Feng nodded in response, but he knew that with the character of the lord, he didn't come to see anything lively, since the lord came to the capital in person, there would definitely be something big happening, if it was just the matter of the withdrawal of the money village, there was no need for the lord to act in person.
"Xianhe, are you ready for the evacuation of Qian Zhuang?" Liu Ze asked Jian Yong.
Jian Yong replied: "Back to the lord, the evacuation of Qian Zhuang is ready, no, even the notice of Anmin has been written." ”
According to Liu Ze's instructions, the closure of Luoyang Qian Zhuang is not to flee with money, but to post a relocation notice in the store, due to the turbulence of the times, the head of Huitong Tianxia Qian Zhuang moved from the capital Luoyang to Qingzhou Pingyuan County, all the owners who hold Qian Zhuang money tickets can go to the plains for exchange, free of a qiē fee, regardless of the length of time, the money ticket is valid for life.
Although it is said that taking advantage of the chaos in the capital, Liu Ze has every chance to roll up this huge amount of money and escape, but in line with the principle of integrity first, Liu Ze still gives Luoyang's customers a promise that the money ticket will always be valid! In fact, the loss of the money bank is also quite large, although the money bank has stopped handling the loan business at the beginning of the year, but many merchants are struggling, the loans that should be collected are difficult to collect, as Luoyang will be burned by Dong Zhuo, these loans will eventually become dead debts. Even if those mortgaged shops are recovered, with the current form, the possibility of realizing them is almost zero, and they will eventually turn to ashes.
However, Liu Ze was also very relieved, compared with the benefits he gained in the capital, this loss was only a drop in the bucket, not to mention that Liu Ze had already had a plan to make up for the losses in the embankment. This time, he came to Luoyang in person to carry out this plan.
"Before sunset today, Xianhe and the stewards of Qianzhuang must leave the capital, so hurry up and prepare." Time was pressing, and Liu Ze didn't bother to explain more, and gave the order briefly.
Jian Yong was slightly stunned, although he had been prepared, he was still very gloomy when he was going to leave Luoyang today, where he had stayed for so many years.
Liu Ze looked at Jian Yong, who was depressed, and said with a smile: "Xianhe seems to be a little reluctant? ”
Jian Yong sighed and said: "Yong followed the lord to Luoyang in the second year of Guanghe, and it has been ten years in a blink of an eye, who would have dared to think that the poor boy who was poor and white at the beginning could actually be in charge of the wealth of the rich country, but in the blink of an eye, it has become a passing cloud of smoke, hey......"
"Xianhe, don't worry, we will still come back to this Luoyang, maybe ten years, maybe twenty years, but this day will definitely come! At that time, we will be the masters of this city, and we will no longer have to look up to others! Liu Ze said loudly, his eyes were unusually firm, and there was a calm smile on the corner of his mouth.
Jian Yong understood Liu Ze's ambition, nodded in response, and was about to retreat, Liu Ze said again: "In addition to the Luoyang General Account, the branches of other states will also be closed from now on, and all notices will be posted, and after the General Account is moved to the plain, continue to handle the exchange business." ”
"No." Jian Yong responded, the Luoyang general number was closed, and there was no need for the branches of other states.
"Wait," Liu Ze groaned for a while, and stopped Jian Yong, who was about to leave, "Inform Deran in Xuzhou, Xuzhou doesn't have to be closed, just operate as usual." ”
"Since the general number and other state branches have been closed, why did the lord leave the Xuzhou branch alone?" Jian Yong was very strange.
After Dong Zhuo's rebellion, Luoyang and other states will be affected by the war, but Xuzhou is relatively peaceful under Tao Qian's governance, and the real turmoil in Xuzhou will be after Cao Cao's attack on Xuzhou, so Liu Ze still decided that the Xuzhou branch will not be closed for the time being. However, Liu Ze didn't dare to tell these insiders, but just said:
"I have my own plans for this, let's talk about it later when the time is pressing, Xianhe should hurry up and evacuate."
At sunset, Jian Yong and the men of Huitong Qianzhuang had all left Luoyang City and were waiting in a grange on the outskirts of the city. Liu Ze looked at the red sun and sunset, his expression became more and more solemn, and he ordered to open all the boxes he brought.
All the boxes were filled with armor and weapons, Liu Ze ordered Pan Feng and Zhou Cang and other more than 100 people to change their clothes, and after a while, a team of clearly armored and fully armed teams appeared in the courtyard of Huitong Tianxia Qianzhuang neatly, as if it was a forbidden army.
Liu Ze also changed his armor, his face sank like water, and he didn't say a word.
Pan Feng Guan Hai and Zhou Cang didn't dare to ask each other, and stood quietly left and right.
At this time, Zhang Long, the commander of the Luoyang branch of the Jinying Guard, hurried back and reported to Liu Zeyu: "Lord Qiqi, I have already found out clearly, the general He Jin has left the general's mansion at this time, and Yuan Shutong, the general of Hu Benzhonglang, led a thousand elite soldiers to escort him, and Yuan Shao, the captain of the Sili School, and Cao Cao, the captain of the military academy, also accompanied him with swords. ”
Liu Ze nodded, the Luoyang Rebellion was in August of the first year of Zhaoning (the year 189 AD used four year names: Zhongping, Guangxi, Zhaoning, Yonghan), but there is no clear record in the history of the specific day, as soon as Liu Ze arrived in Luoyang, he ordered Zhang Long to send someone to secretly monitor He Jin's travel, as long as he was called to the palace, it was his death date, and Luoyang would also fall into chaos. Now that Liu Ze has got the exact news that He Jin entered the palace, it seems that the Luoyang Rebellion is tonight.
However, Liu Ze didn't come to Beijing to stop this turmoil, even if he wanted to stop it, he couldn't stop it, He Jin would listen to him? Jokes, even if he wants to see He Jin, the powerful general and Lu Shangshu, is a luxury now, let alone persuade him not to enter the palace to die, Yuan Shao and Cao Cao can't persuade He Jin, who thinks he is doing things, and others don't have to think about it. And Liu Ze is not in the mood to pay attention to He Jin, a butcher with a mouse's eyes and a villain, he will die if he dies, and Liu Ze entered Beijing this time for another purpose.
"Ladies and gentlemen, there will be a great turmoil in Luoyang City tonight, and this turmoil will start in the palace, as for who lives and who dies, it has nothing to do with us, but there is a chance for us to make a big deal. Let's go! Target Chang let the mansion! Liu Ze gave an order in a low voice.
In the Luoyang Rebellion, the general He Jin died, and the ten permanent servants were also wiped out, who will become the biggest winner in the end? (To be continued......)
