Chapter 36 On the Situation of the Dynasty
"Gong Jin, what your father said is true? And you are now a hot figure in the court, how many young talented princes and ministers want to make friends with you, it is really unwise to withdraw from Luoyang at this time, so self-destructive future, does your father know? "The general He Jin has been moved by the conditions that Zhou Yu said, a Luoyang order for a foreign county guard, according to the official rank, Zhou Xian is obviously promoted, but in terms of power, how can the local official be bigger than the Beijing official. The most important thing is Zhou Yu, Zhou Xian has self-knowledge and automatically abdicated, Zhou Yu can rescue the prince Liu Xie many times, and he can also make some strange new gadgets, this kid seems to be a talent. If you let him go in vain, it's a pity to let him wander somewhere.
"General, the last general is here to ask you - how can you stand on top of the court?" Zhou Yu was looking at He Jin with his eyes staring, his eyes full of determination. At this moment, he decided to use the knowledge he had accumulated for thousands of years to convince He Jin.
"This-" The general He Jin was a little speechless, he couldn't say that he relied on his sister's nepotism to sit in the position of the general, but the fact was so naked that he was forced to ask, He Jin was also a little caught off guard.
"General, please forgive your sins! The last general did not mean to offend the general, and everyone in the world thought that the general was able to steal the position of the general by virtue of the queen being your sister. The great generals in history were the supreme commanders who led the troops. This position began in the Warring States period and was the highest title of a general, and was followed by the Han Dynasty to command the army. In fact, most of them are held by noble relatives, and they hold very high positions of military and political power.
During the Western Han Dynasty, Emperor Gaozu worshipped Han Xin as a general in Hanzhong, and was the prime minister of the military on the generals. He was only temporarily appointed as a general during wartime, and was released immediately after the war. It was not until the period of Emperor Wu that the general was reinstated because of Wei Qing, as the highest title of the general, on the three dukes, and the secretary and below were worshipped. Later, he set up a big Sima, who was the general's additional officer. Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty changed the position of General Sima to lead the army to fight, and when there was no conquest, he became the de facto ruler.
During the Eastern Han Dynasty, the general was originally under the three dukes, and when he arrived at the Han Dynasty and the emperor, Dou Xian served as the general. And your career is also in line with the previous position of the great general, the position above the three princes has the power to lead the military and political power, but you yourself are now in a high position, but you don't know that you are already in a place of no return. If you say that you are in charge of the whole country's soldiers and horses, how many soldiers and horses can actually be born and die for you? The only soldiers and horses that can really be held in your hands are 30,000 soldiers and horses inside and outside the city, and the soldiers and horses of other states and counties will not be able to move a single soldier without the seal of Your Majesty.
You can know that the relatives and friends in the civil official forces led by the Yuan family are old, and the total number of government soldiers in Luoyang is not less than 100,000, and as long as the Yuan family writes a letter, they can form an army in an instant. The guards in the palace are basically their henchmen, plus one of the eunuchs, Jian Shuo, has five thousand elite soldiers in his hands, as long as the general enters the palace, he will become a fish on the board of the turtle in the urn, and now it seems that you are the most powerful on the surface, but in fact, you are the weakest of the three forces.
Whether it is the beginning of the Han Dynasty or the present, as a general, there is no good death. You know these historical events better than I do, so you need foreign aid to back you up now, to ensure that you can sit back and relax in Luoyang City. Zhou Yu is willing to be a sharp arrow for the general, and I will shoot wherever you point. β
These words subverted He Jin's heart and impacted his brain, he thought that he was already a dignitary in the world under one person, and he knew that in the eyes of others, he was a monkey and a crown, trying to make people laugh.
"You say you can help me get through this? How can I believe you, your father is only a civil servant but also a lonely minister, and you are a little clever or different. How can you help me? He Jin's face was a little pale, but he asked Zhou Yu calmly.
"Cultivating soldiers and horses requires money, food and land, and cultivating elites will cost a lot of money and food, but I can provide some money for the general, and my father, as the county guard, can help block news and pass on intelligence, it depends on whether the general wants our father and son to be loyal to the general or the Han Dynasty. Although you say that I am a little clever, in fact, it is not, just like I gambled with Yuan Shu a year ago, in fact, I can completely defeat him in three games, but I pulled Yuan Shu step by step to the brink of collapse, because their brother calculated me in order to achieve the goal. This time, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was in danger, and the notice in the city was written by me, and Cao Mengde's meritorious service is also something I have heard that his character is trustworthy, otherwise they will not only have no merit but will also lose the grain and grass. In the end, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and I will return to Luoyang safe and sound, and in the end, you will be busy in vain. There is another important point, which I will mention in advance! I have worshipped a master who understands some celestial phenomena, and after half a year, there will be a large-scale rebellion, and a layer of yellow storm will rush directly towards Ziweixing, and then Ziweixing will change hands. I am definitely not the only one who can see your situation now, the others are silent and silent, just ready to watch your fall quietly, should you believe me or not, your heart should be clearer than mine! Zhou Yu began to fool He Jin like a magic stick.
"Let me think about it-" Although He Jin was born as a butcher, it doesn't mean that he is a fool, and what Zhou Yu said was to the point. After listening to it for a while, his heart was cold, and he thought he was a huge tiger, but in fact he was like a larger Persian cat. Zhou Yu can be full of confidence, and there must be a good plan to hand over to me.
"Gong Jin, what plan do you have to teach me?"
"The Great General, the Admiral, suggests that you no longer fight with the eunuch forces from this day onwards, or that you can properly maintain peaceful coexistence with the Ten Permanent Servants, which is just one of them; The most unaccustomed thing for the Chinese officials in the DPRK is that the eunuchs confuse His Majesty, and the buying and selling of officials leads to many talented civil officials but cannot become officials because they have no money, and with the help of this, the imperial historian instigated the civil officials to make trouble, so that the united front formed by the Yuan family and the eunuchs broke down, and once again formed a situation of tripartite struggle, which is the second; Third, he secretly contacted the Yuan family to resist the eunuchs, but he could not trust the Yuan family, and took the opportunity to include Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu in the general's mansion, and reused Yuan Shu to despise Yuan Shao, and after a long time, there will definitely be infighting between the juniors of the Yuan family; The fourth is to find an opportunity to cut off the 5,000 elite soldiers in the hands of the eunuch Jian Shuo, and there are many ways to send them out to suppress bandits or escort supplies, and then I will send someone to kill Jian Shuo; The fifth is that you have to find a way to replace the generals guarding the four city gates and the palace gates with your own people no matter what method they use, and the key is that they must be able to obey your orders. These strategies must be gradual and not rushed! Boiled frogs in warm water come slowly, as long as His Royal Highness the Crown Prince ascends to the throne smoothly, he is not afraid that others will dare to act rashly. But now that I have become a benchmark, I must find a way to get me out of Luoyang, otherwise your plan will not be easy to implement. β
Zhou Yu arranged five roads for He Jin in one go, that is, so that He Jin could save his life and live a little longer, so that he could rely on this big tree to enjoy the shade.
"How can I ask you if I am in a hurry? It's so far away, I can't catch up with it-" Speaking of this, He Jin has completely regarded Zhou Yu as his own person, and when he heard Zhou Yu planning for himself so wholeheartedly, his heart was full of emotion.
"There is a Biyuexuan restaurant in the city to find a message from the shopkeeper, and there will be a reply in two days!"
"Okayβit's a deal! I agreed to the matter of your father and son, and Gongjin hopes that we will cooperate happily! β
