Chapter 19: The Ministers Leave
Looking at the back of Cao Cao's departure, Yu Yi felt a little lost, through this period of contact, Yu Yi felt that some of Cao Cao's ideas were indeed very advanced, but if he bowed to Liu Bei, he should not have two hearts.
Yuyi and Liu Bei have always maintained correspondence, he told everything that happened in the court, and Liu Bei's replies were also some encouragement, but Zhang Fei and Guan Yu knew about Yuyi's situation, and they asked to go to Luoyang to get wet, but they were stopped by Liu Bei.
He Jin's solicitation policy was quickly implemented, and some people who were already harboring ghosts began to move.
On that day, the former general Dong Zhuo was ordered to crusade against the Yellow Turban thieves, because of heavy losses, no merit, was punished by the imperial court, thanks to him bribed the ten permanent servants in advance, which was spared, and later he bought some dignitaries in the court with a lot of money, making his position in the court more stable.
Dong Zhuo has lived in Xizhou for a long time, commanded an army of 200,000, and has long had ideas about the corrupt dynasty, and was very happy after getting He Jin's solicitation letter, and ordered the existing soldiers and horses, and took Li Dao, Guo Yan, Zhang Ji, Fan Chou and others to Luoyang City one after another, and the responsibility of guarding Shaanxi was handed over to his son-in-law Niu Fu.
Dong Zhuo's son-in-law's adviser Li Rujin said: "Although I am being summoned to the palace now, I always feel that it is sneaky and not formal enough, so why not send someone to the table, so that it is justified to bring troops into the city, then the big thing can be decided." ”
Dong Zhuo thought it was very reasonable, and immediately sent someone to the table, the content was roughly as follows: "I heard that the reason why the world is in turmoil and has not been completely pacified until now is because of the discord of Zhang Rang and others who are the ten permanent servants, and corrupt the dynasty, I heard that if you want to stop the boiling water, you only need to reduce the burning firewood, although the carrion on the body is painful, but it is better to cut it off than to let it go all the time, I am willing to lead troops into Luoyang and remove Zhang Rang's calamities, then it is a blessing for Sheji, a blessing for the world!" ”
This recital is quite eloquent, and after He Jin got it, he also asked people to copy a copy for Yuyi to analyze.
Yu Yi was a guest at the house of Yushi Zheng Tai at this time, and browsed this recital with him, and immediately advised: "This Dong Zhuo is like a wolf of wealth, recruiting him to the capital, he will definitely eat people." ”
When crusading against the Yellow Turban Thief, Yu Yi saw Dong Zhuo, the eldest brother Liu Bei was also there at that time, this guy was really rude, looked down on others, arrogant, and had a lot of fat on his body, giving people a very bad impression, taking this opportunity, Yu Yi went to find He Jin, relayed Zheng Tai's words, and also narrated some of the festivals in the early stage.
I don't know if He Jin is too sure of his army or what, he actually reprimanded Yu Yi and said, "How have you changed, now everyone is the same, so suspicious, this is not enough to make a big deal." ”
Yu Yi thought to himself, you He Jin is not the He Jin he knew at that time, he has already forgotten his original intention, and he must stick to his mistakes, so that no one can help you.
Yuyi was about to retire, and when he met Lu Zhi to admonish, he didn't leave, just stood at the door, "I know Dong Zhuo very well, he seems to be kind, but he is actually a ruthless person, if he is put into the palace, it will definitely cause a huge disaster, it is better to dispel this idea as soon as possible, so as not to destroy the life." ”
Lu Zhi's advice was very pertinent, but He Jin was like a demon, he had to insist on his own opinions, and he couldn't listen to anyone's words, so Lu Zhi had to quit.
"Since the last time, I don't know how Xuande is doing?"
Lu Zhi asked.
"The eldest brother is a county magistrate in the plains, and he lives a good life!"
Yu Yi smiled, he knew that Lu Zhi was Liu Bei's teacher, and he couldn't be lazy.
"I know, you are now the general of Zhenger Pinwei and have a lot of power, but I still want to persuade you to leave Luoyang as soon as possible, after this Dong Zhuo comes in, it will definitely be a disaster."
Lu Zhi persuaded Yuyi to leave Luoyang City.
This is already the second person to persuade Yuyi to leave, the first is Cao Cao.
"Okay, I got it!"
Yu Yi didn't give a definite answer, and left.
Think about the pleasure of being in a high position, it is indeed a little difficult to let him leave, there is basically nothing else to do every day except for the court, the space in the house can be used for long-distance running, the maids are also replaced in batches, and the most important thing is that when you meet some beautiful maids, as long as you are in good health, sometimes some men's ideas can be realized casually, and there are people to serve you when eating, dressing and bathing.
On the second day, He Jin read the recital on the morning court, and at the same time expressed his attitude, which made a cadre of old ministers very dissatisfied, and the early dynasty dispersed, and half of the ministers resigned and returned to their hometowns.
Only then did Yu Yi realize the seriousness of the matter, and knew that Luoyang City in front of him might not really be the place to continue to stay, and at this time he also received a letter from Liu Bei, in which he asked Yu Yi to leave Luoyang City as soon as possible, otherwise there would be disaster.
After determining the plan, He Jin personally went to Mianchi to greet Dong Zhuo, and Dong Zhuo stood still and waited in place.
Dong Zhuo's action was too big, and the news had already entered the ears of Zhang Rang and the others, and they secretly discussed together, saying: "This idea of recruiting foreign soldiers is all from He Jin, if we don't strike first, then we will definitely suffer the fate of extermination." So he immediately ambushed more than 50 sword and axe men and hid them in the Jiade Gate of Changle Palace.
They also had another preparation, and Zhang Rang went to see the Empress Dowager He to persuade him, and said: "Now the general has forged a holy decree to recruit foreign soldiers, and he has already arrived in Luoyang, and his purpose is just to kill us, hoping that Niangniang can pity us and help us!" ”
Empress Dowager He thought that things had come to this point, and it would be useless to go to He Jin again, so she suggested: "You might as well go to the General's Mansion in person to apologize, maybe he will let you live." ”
Zhang Rang replied: "If you go to the General's Mansion at this time, you will definitely be corrected on the spot, I hope Niangniang will find the general, if you don't do this, we can only kill ourselves in front of you." ”
Empress Dowager He was forced to have no choice, so she had to issue an edict to announce He Jin, and after He Jin got the news, he was ready to enter the palace to find Empress Dowager He.
As soon as he was about to go out, he was stopped by Chen Lin, the chief bookkeeper, and persuaded: "This edict of the Queen Mother must be a conspiracy of the ten permanent servants, you must not go, otherwise there will be disaster." ”
He Jin asked: "Empress Dowager He is my sister, it is not normal for him to summon me, how can there be a disaster?" ”
Yu Yi also rushed over at this time, and after knowing the situation, he said his thoughts, and said: "The news of the arrival of Dong Zhuo's army has spread far and wide, and the ten permanent servants must be prepared, this Empress Dowager He summoned me, I'm afraid it is not her own intention, it is the idea of the ten permanent servants." ”
Everyone was still discussing this issue, but Cao Cao on the side laughed and said: "This matter is actually very simple, what you are talking about is just that you are afraid that the ten permanent servants have a conspiracy, summon them out of the palace first, and then go to see the Empress Dowager He." ”
