Chapter 65: The People of the Imperial Court

Yu Youkui sighed slightly: "The palace is now divided into several parties, and it is not surprising that the news has come out, but what I don't know is what kind of statement there can be in this matter, if you say so, it will affect the military power in your hands." ”

Cheng Liu was blinded at once.

"No matter what you say, you can't just ask for my military power, right?"

Yu Youkui snorted coldly: "Heh, then you really underestimate them." ”

"They're either going to frame you right now, or they're going to take the power out of your hands. Ma Yuanyi stayed when he passed by Jianye before, although not many people knew about this matter, but even if there was no rumor at that time, it was possible that someone would find out later, so this was one of the handles. ”

"What's more, I always feel that Zhang Jiao will send someone to contact you in the future, even if I know that you are a member of the imperial court on the surface."

Cheng Liu suddenly became even more helpless.

"Who said that I am from the court? At most, Empress Dowager He helped me. ”

Yu Youkui took a sip of tea, moistened her throat again, and said seriously: "Even if it is Empress Dowager He, isn't she a person in the palace?" Besides, if I hadn't asked Gu Guan to deal with that little eunuch first, I'm afraid you would be in danger by now. ”

Cheng Liu asked a little puzzled, "What's the danger?" That eunuch is no match for me at all. ”

"Of course he won't assassinate you directly, but how many of the eunuchs in the palace are people from the Empress Dowager He's side? Although this person has always been the person who followed the Empress Dowager He, he is not loyal, and it is not difficult for someone to get some news from his mouth, so in order to relieve the trouble, I will get rid of this person first. ”

Cheng Liu scratched his head, Gu Guan had deceived him just now, this eunuch did not return to the palace, and he would not be able to go back in the future.

"Say, what is the Queen Mother looking for you?"

After Liu Bian succeeded to the throne, Empress He's status jumped to the queen mother, which is a problem in the system, but it also exposes many problems.

For example, the people of Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty have always been ambitious, since she sat in the position of the queen mother, she has not been able to hold the power of the court and politics tightly in her hands, Liu Bian is young, although he is already half a young man, but he has no control over the affairs of the palace at all.

As a woman, Empress Dowager He not only had to protect her son, but also had to fight against those eunuchs and ministers in the palace, and she couldn't spare her hands to clean up the mess left by Emperor Han Ling.

So after the contradictions became more and more, He Jin became an important move.

Although the Empress Dowager He kept him in the palace according to the advice, and held the largest military power in the palace, and even the pass was guarded by him, the Yellow Turban thieves did not dare to come, but the officials above the entire court understood that the hard power in the hands of the Empress Dowager He had been completely hollowed out.

Today's Xuancheng flow into the palace is the last step she has made, after keeping his military power, she will use him as a pawn to give them a living way back.

Cheng Liu didn't hide anything, and told all the things in the palace.

Yu Youkui just nodded from time to time, his expression a little solemn.

After a while, the tea was also cold, and Yu Youkui said: "Originally, I always thought that the young emperor was the gold medal for avoiding death, but now it seems that the Empress Dowager He is, you should have done the right thing when you entered the palace this time." It's no wonder that those people in Yingchuan County still have to discuss, if it is usual, I am afraid that they will directly take over your Jianye City. ”

"After all, Yangzhou Assassin Shi has always been soft-hearted, and those Assassin Shi will force him to hand over his real power, and then slowly disperse the soldiers and horses to various states and counties, even if you don't agree, it's useless."

This is a big truth, but after seeing Yangzhou Assassin Shi last time, Cheng Liu believed him.

"Yu Youkui, I still believe in the history of Yangzhou Thorn, he is a smart person, he has not chosen to stand in line when he entered the palace several times, so it seems that the entire Yangzhou is the lifeline of the imperial court, as long as I don't let go, the Empress Dowager He will keep my military power in the palace, and the Beijing division is chaotic, almost me and He Jin have the final say."

Yu Youkui nodded, but still said with some unease: "Since ancient times, there are two kinds of people who die the fastest, one is the person who has high merit, and the other is the person who supports the army and respects himself. ”

Cheng Liu was already sweating at this time, and regretted that he should not have refused to watch Gongdou TV in the first place, otherwise he could have learned some experience at this time.

"So what should I do now, according to your wishes?"

"It's very simple, let the states and counties dispatch people and horses freely, anyway, the current military power has been distributed, and the imperial court can't control so many people, seeing that these people are going to fight, but everyone knows that when the real fight starts, these people are useless at all, and the soldiers and horses are just better looking on the surface."

"Empress Dowager He also knows this truth, so even if the treasury is opened, she doesn't say a word of nonsense, she says that she will give as many taels of silver as she wants to charge the military salary, and she doesn't blink her eyes, she plans to break the jar and break it, and the Han family doesn't want it in the world."

Cheng Liu also realized this truth at this time, and nodded slightly.

"Don't worry, although I have no soldiers and horses on the surface, this matter will not be difficult to do, my intelligence network is unique in the world, as long as there is a little wind and grass anywhere, I know, as long as the news of the defeat comes out from the states and counties, I will incite the masses of all parties and let them support your action."

Cheng Liu didn't react for a while.

"Just my tens of thousands of soldiers and horses and hundreds of thousands of others fighting?"

Yu Youkui waved his hand: "What do you want?" The last time I went to your county guard's mansion, Xu Shu made a suggestion, if you want to sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight, you have to be patient, if the Yellow Turban Army only has the remnants of the defeated generals, you only need to break all the way to the soldiers and horses to accumulate momentum, when the time comes, you will not obediently hand over the soldiers and horses in the court of Hangu Pass? ”

Cheng Liu understands this, but the problem now is that maybe it's not so fast.

"Now that they're still in a stalemate, can I wait until then?"

Yu Youkui frowned, and only replied after a while: "There is about it, if there is none, you can only accept your fate." By the way, you ask Gu Guan to get some food, this girl hasn't eaten for a day. ”

Cheng Liu sighed, went out and called Gu Guan to buy something to eat, Gu Guan had a cold face, didn't say a word, and rode directly.

Back in the house, Yu Youkui suddenly thought of something, and asked instead, "What are you doing in such a hurry to go back?" ”

Cheng Liu slapped his head and shouted: "I plan to let Sweet Potato send two dead soldiers in, just stay by the side of Empress Dowager He, if someone really poisons him, he can still prevent it, it's too late to go!" ”

Unexpectedly, Yu Youkui smiled and said: "Don't worry, I have already thought of this, Empress Dowager He has already arranged my people around her, and she has secretly solved at least three batches of assassins, but she hasn't talked about it to the outside world." ”
