Cheng Liu sneered and looked out the door.

"I suddenly thought of the great eunuch I saw that day, the murderous aura on his body was particularly chilling, if I guessed correctly, he was the head of the ten permanent servants, one of Zhang Rang and Zhao Zhong. I fought with him and found out that this person's martial arts are extremely high, and his feminine strength is not weaker than Luan Tangshan. ”

"He Jin's battle with the eunuchs, in the final analysis, is a struggle with the ten permanent servants, with his current soldiers and horses in Beijing, if it is really a fair declaration of war, there may still be a chance, but I am afraid that something will happen in the middle. Moreover, you should know He Jin's temper, he didn't even hide his intention to kill me, and those eunuchs also knew that this person came to the palace for them. ”

The fish larvae also gasped.

"So according to your guess, the eunuchs in the palace will do it first, such as Zhang Rang and Zhao Zhong, the first of the ten permanent servants?"

Cheng Liu's index finger knocked on the corner of the table, and said in a deep voice: "No, He Jin will do it first, but he shouldn't do it himself." ”

If the historical process is still accelerating, then what we need to compare now is the six years of Zhongping and the period of He Jin's authoritarianism.

Cheng Liu thought carefully in his mind, who was the most powerful subordinate in He Jin's hands at this time, and what did he need to do?

First, it is necessary to quickly grasp the power of the court, and the eunuchs led by the ten permanent servants put their cronies in various states and counties, and obtained fiefs and power by buying officials, which led to the root of the Yellow Turban Uprising, He Jin eliminated all their henchmen for this reason, behind which was the Empress Dowager He was backing, although the Empress Dowager Dong and her faction were angry to death, but to no avail.

The second is that after the Empress Dowager He obtained the power of the court, the real power of the soldiers and horses fell into the hands of her brother He Jin, but although the Empress Dowager Dong was beaten in the 'cold palace', it was impossible to sit still in the face of this situation.

"He Jin's first step is to kill the eunuchs, and this step is not achieved overnight, but a planned first layout."

"Is there a candidate for the governor now?"

Yu Youkui shook his head slightly: "Although it has not been publicly promulgated, there is already news in the palace, it is Dong Zhuo." But I investigated, this person is not benevolent, and now he does not have much military power, most of them are soldiers and horses raised by himself, not given by the imperial court, so the position of the state pastor, to be honest, is just to give face. ”

Cheng Liu was not surprised by this, as the most important candidate for the Ten Standing Servants Rebellion, in addition to He Jin, it was Dong Zhuo.

But now that everything is in the He Jin plan, it is still difficult to predict whether this road will develop according to historical facts.

However, what can be guessed is that Empress Dowager He is still calm, even if He Jin has already moved to kill, she has eased up in the middle, otherwise at the current level, I am afraid that a large number of contradictions would have broken out long ago.

After being silent for a long time, Yu Youkui suddenly asked, "What...... Will it start fighting right away? ”

Cheng Liu said with a smile: "Do you think it's a family, you have to wait until the beginning of spring next year at the earliest, if it's a little later, it should be around May, in fact, He Jin is not in a hurry, he has soldiers and horses now, Empress Dowager He has real power, for a long time after the death of Emperor Ling, Empress Dowager He didn't do anything, just gathered power, and now she can completely control the situation in the court." ”

The fish baby sighed.

"But according to your reasoning, she still has to flee in the end......

Cheng Liu smiled helplessly: "After the rebellion of the Ten Standing Servants, He Jin held the military power, but the eunuchs could not be killed, this is the foundation of the Han court all along, Empress Dowager He cannot be subverted, and He Jin has no choice." ”

Yu Jukui seems to have figured it out.

"Then He Jin, maybe he will die a miserable death......"

Cheng Liu rubbed his hands and retorted: "It should be more appropriate to describe it as tragic." ”

At this time, it was already the third watch, Cheng Liu looked at the hour, if he continued, he didn't want to sleep this night, so he first asked Sweet Potato to arrange a room for Yu Youkui, and he also drank a lot of wine at night, didn't take off his clothes, and fell asleep on the bed.

Early in the morning, Cheng Liu woke up with a quilt on his body and a note on the table.

It was left behind by the young fish.

"I'll go around Jincheng, and by the way, I will install a dark pile, and after you get up, go to Luantangshan, I told him last night, borrow someone."

The paper did not mention who borrowed it, but Cheng Liu thought to himself that it should be someone who had something to do with his secret pile, and he didn't bother to care about it so much, so after washing up a little, he went out of the room.

Luantangshan's mansion is very large, and after turning around, I found the main hall, and I didn't see sweet potatoes all the way, so I should have gone out with Yu Youkui.

"Did you sleep well last night?"

Luan Tangshan sat inside drinking tea, and when he saw Cheng Liu coming in, he took the initiative to ask.

"It's okay, it's just a bit of a headache."

Luan Tangshan put down the teacup, instructed his subordinates to pour a cup for Cheng Liu, and said: "You must be clear about the things in the palace, your friend asked me to borrow one last night, but he was not in Jincheng these days, I left him a message, and let him go to Jianye directly when the time comes." ”

Cheng Liu took a sip of tea and asked, "Who is this person?" ”

"The fish girl didn't say? If she doesn't say it, I'm not going to tell you. ”

Cheng Liu thought about it, if he was really a person with a secret pile, he would keep it so secret, so he laughed and covered up his embarrassment.

After being silent for a long time, Luan Tangshan glanced at Cheng Liu and asked, "What kind of goods are leaving?" ”

Cheng Liu didn't expect the other party to be so direct.

"Tomorrow, we have to rush back to Yangzhou as soon as possible."

Luan Tangshan snorted, and then said, "What do you think of this person in Yangzhou Thorn History?" ”

Cheng Liu paused to drink tea, and raised his eyes slightly to look at Luan Tangshan.

"It's not good, it's not bad."

Luan Tangshan twisted the rim of the cup with his middle finger and continued: "If you want to control Yangzhou, the officials below the assassin must be your own people, otherwise, there will be big trouble in the future." There are some things that you can't do, I can help you. ”

Cheng Liu looked at him: "You are on the Western Front, how can you help me?" ”

"In this world, there is no place where I can't go to Luantang Mountain, don't worry, I didn't help you in vain. Kill him, after you sit in the position of state pastor, first help me clear the Yellow Turban Army in Jizhou, I have a headache when I look at it. ”

Cheng Liu smiled: "It's a trivial matter, when I go back, I can take a detour to Jizhou." ”

The two of them smiled meaninglessly at the same time, this transaction is a long-term business.

Sweet Potato and Fish Baby Kui came back at noon, and the two seemed to have bought quite a few things.

The two went back to the room directly, and Cheng Liu followed in, only to find that what they bought seemed to be food.

"You went shopping so early? I thought it was a dark pile. ”

Yu Youkui glanced at him: "What's the hurry, it's all ready." I've cleaned up all those hooks on your list, don't worry, just get out of here, and then ...... Changed to our people, hehe. ”
