Chapter 389: A Brief Calm
Different from the plot situation in the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, in the world of "Dynasty Warriors", after inserting the big butterfly Li Yuan, the Luoyang Rebellion was quelled by iron-blooded means in a very short period of time, and the armies controlled by the family, relatives, and eunuchs suffered heavy losses, and were transformed into more than tens of thousands of troops by the Youzhou Army at once!
After receiving the urgent information from the Yuan family, Ding Yuan, who arrived in Luoyang with only three thousand wolf horsemen, found that order had been restored in the entire Luoyang. Originally, according to the normal development, the new army of the Eighth School of Xiyuan and the two armies left by He Jin were directly annexed by Li Yuan and the Youzhou army by various means, and the elite army of more than 100,000 people has been reorganized by the Youzhou army, and about fifty or sixty percent of the combat effectiveness has been restored.
In the face of Luoyang City, which had restored order, Ding Yuan obviously did not have the courage of Li Yuan and Dong Feifei, and sent a squad of cavalry to verify his identity, and after obtaining the order to stay overnight in the military camps around Luoyang and not to carry more than 100 cavalry troops into Luoyang, Ding Yuan could only accept this joint order from the Queen Mother and the Young Emperor.
The only thing that satisfied Ding Yuan and his wolf riders was that at least Luoyang did not have any deductions in terms of logistics supply and placement, and in addition to prohibiting the carrying of weapons into Luoyang, they also gave certain rewards, such as property, cattle and sheep, and wine!
"Fengxian, you enter Luoyang with me and discuss the current situation with the Yuan family and other scholars. That Li Zisheng was too high-flying and domineering, and he actually directly controlled the military power of Luoyang, not to mention, even Dong Tingshi dared to kill him......"
After accepting the rewards given by the Empress Dowager and the Young Emperor, Ding Yuan watched the lively scene of slaughtering cattle and sheep in the camp, but he was not too happy, but said to a military general behind him with some sighs and dissatisfaction.
"No! My lord!"
Listening to Ding Yuan's words, the general who looked martial and gave people a sense of pride. Nod yes.
Lu Bu!
The general, known as the number one military commander in the Three Kingdoms, finally came to Luoyang City.
However, now, except for a few people, the others, including the families in Luoyang City, Empress Dowager He and others, do not know Lu Bu's combat power, but are thinking about the current situation and the means they are ready to use.
……
The third day of the Luoyang Rebellion. The court meeting was finally convened again.
"Youzhou drove the general Li Zisheng to escort the car, was promoted to the general of the chariot cavalry, worshiped the county marquis of Jixian County, and stationed in Luoyang!"
"Appoint Zhao Yun to be promoted to the Taishou of Wuwei County, Liangzhou, temporarily acting as the Taishou of Liangzhou Assassin, and the Taishou of Youzhou County as Li Xingke, and transferred to the Taishou of Changshan County, Jizhou, and temporarily acting as the post of Jizhou Assassin Shi!!"
"And the state of the assassin Shi Ding Yuan, Fengnan County Marquis. Worship the Northern Army to hold the Jinwu ......"......
At the court meeting with a much smaller number of people, after the Empress Dowager He and the Young Emperor Liu Wei met with the ministers who were not very good-looking, a small eunuch began to announce several decrees jointly issued by the Empress Dowager He and the Young Emperor in the eyes of everyone.
There is no doubt that after hearing these rewards and position adjustments, the original strange atmosphere in the court suddenly seemed to drop several big stones directly under the surface of the water that had already surged undercurrents!
"Fenghou?!"
"Your Majesty! No!!"
"Then Zhao Yun and Li Xing carved the Taishou, forget it! How can you act as an assassin?!!"
"That's right! Not an inch has been made. How can Zhonglang be directly transferred to the post of Taishou?! He also acted as an agent for the ?!! of the assassin ……
In the face of this reward from the Empress Dowager He (no one believed that it was the meaning of the young emperor Liu Bian), except for the remnants of the foreign relatives and the eunuch faction that had been completely wiped out. Almost all of the Maison's faction and several centrists protested and opposed.
said that the first reward would allow Li Yuan to be promoted to general of the chariot cavalry and the marquis of Baixian, and the ministers of the family could barely endure it. But what does it mean to be stationed in Luoyang? The family faction led by the Yuan family, after finally killing the relatives and eunuch factions, do they still have to face a super monster that integrates Luoyang's military power?!
In the same way, Zhao Yun and Li Xingke of the Youzhou Army faction. It's just that if the two of them are promoted to Taishou, maybe the family will endure it. But the right to act as a state assassin? This mouth does not dare to agree with the family, and Zhao Yun's direct transfer to the Taishou of Wuwei County in Xiliang as a Zhonglang general is not enough to make the family worry, even if he is acting as the Liangzhou Thorn History, he is not afraid, but Li Xingke is the agent of the Jizhou Thorn History. Let the Yuan family and other ministers have to care.
In contrast, Ding Yuan, the assassin of the state of Bingzhou, who was also the marquis of the county and was in charge of Jin Wuwei, was gorgeously ignored by those ministers because he belonged to the scope of his own people.
However, in the same way, Li Yuan, who is located above the main hall, also has his own dissatisfaction with this kind of reward!
"Humph! Sure enough, this woman just didn't clean up, and she actually played the game of checks and balances......"
Regarding the announcement of the little eunuch, Li Yuan, who had been isolated by other ministers intentionally or unintentionally on the side of the main hall, opened his eyes and looked at the Empress Dowager He who was wearing a phoenix crown and sitting behind the beaded curtain, with a hint of mockery in his eyes.
Obviously, even if it is due to Li Yuan's threat and need for his support, even the Empress Dowager He, who has a relationship with Li Yuan, this beautiful Empress Dowager will obviously not be willing to completely obey Li Yuan's words, although she also made some promises with Li Yuan, but not only shrunk a lot of promised conditions, but also attracted Ding Yuan, who also had military power, to enter Luoyang.
For Empress Dowager He, Ding Yuan's taking charge of Jin Wuwei is equivalent to being able to influence the palace, and Li Yuan's subordinates promised to be the Taishou and the acting assassin of the history, obviously with the idea of dividing it, and even set Li Yuan up as a target!
Of course, Li Yuan also understands that for the superiors, what promises and importance are relative things, how can a person like the Empress Dowager He not look like a loyal teammate, even if she has a very close contact relationship with Li Yuan, but the Empress Dowager He obviously does not regard Li Yuan as the only reliance to rely on - in the same way, Li Yuan did not have this kind of dream, and for the Empress Dowager He, she is more regarded as a noble glamorous meat X-weapon!
"Silence! Above the court, how can you be allowed to quarrel endlessly!"
Li Yuan was a little unhappy in his heart, and then shouted angrily directly at the arguing court.
Rumble~!!!
Many ministers who were originally expressing their opinions felt their heads thump, and Li Yuan's voice smashed into their hearts like hammers.
Among them, those ministers who have some internal qi cultivation and a few ministers whose internal qi is separated from the body. They all felt like babies powerless to resist the sound of a hammer, but after everyone calmed down, they were surprised to find that they were a little dizzy at best, and there were no other sequelae.
However, it is obvious that even Li Yuan forcibly colded the scene. The families led by the Yuan family obviously will not choose to back down or acquiesce on this issue!
"The rider will ...... Eh, drive the general, above the court, what can't our courtiers say!"
Just a glance from Taifu Yuan Kui, a clever minister of the family stood up, and after almost calling it wrong in a bit of a daze, he woke up in time and accused Li Yuan's statement.
"That's right, being able to speak!
But. When you speak, please don't be as noisy and rude as a quarrel!"
In the face of the minister's accusation, Li Yuan didn't have much interest in quarreling with them, so he simply pointed out the key point he had just made and missed, and then said to the Empress Dowager He, who was originally sitting on the mountain and watching the tiger fight, with a respectful expression: "In addition, several wills are the will of the Empress Dowager and Your Majesty, do you want to oppose it?" Could it be that you are colluding with the Ten Constants and want to leave the Queen Mother and Your Majesty in nothing?!"
[Ruthless man! ] 】
[Bastard! Guy who buttons up hats! 】
[It's a little tricky......] ......
Hear Li Yuan's words. Whether it is Empress Dowager He, who was just sitting on the mountain watching the tiger fight, or Yuan Kui and others who prepared a few etiquettes and rebuttal words. Different thoughts popped up in my mind.
Li Yuan obviously didn't plan to be a target (although he was already a target), and he didn't choose to argue with those ministers in terms of the mouth cannon and etiquette that he was good at, so he directly mercilessly put the Empress Dowager He who was watching the play on the side, and then directly let the ministers from the family face off against the Empress Dowager He, who was originally sitting on the mountain and watching the tiger fight.
"Don't dare!" *N
No matter what they thought in their hearts, or what they did secretly, at least the ministers of the family who questioned it just now chose to respectfully bow their heads to the Empress Dowager He and the young emperor Liu Wei.
――Now it's not Dong Zhuo who will destroy the last prestige of the Han family. Even when the princes competed for hegemony, and even when the princes competed for hegemony, many people had the Han family in their hearts. And now, even if the Luoyang Rebellion has just been experienced, the prestige of the Han family has been hit hard, but it is still the nominal co-lord of the world. No minister of the family was stupid enough to jump out and question it in person!
"You don't have to be like this!"
Seeing this situation, after taking a closer look, Empress Dowager He, who gave people a feeling of becoming more and more attractive after being moisturized, glared at Li Yuan hatefully, but still said to the ministers who asked for guilt with a graceful face.
Although it is said that the Empress Dowager He is very dissatisfied with the ruthless Li Yuan (of course, she automatically ignores her small actions), but now the forces in the court are mostly families, and it is obvious that the Empress Dowager He really doesn't believe in the families with previous convictions, not to mention that Li Yuan, who has heavy troops, and the Youzhou army are in Luoyang.
Now, what Empress Dowager He wants is to stabilize the situation in the court, and then reintegrate the remnants of the eunuchs and relatives, so that her son's emperor throne can sit steadily......
"Ladies and gentlemen, General Li Zisheng has made a meritorious contribution to saving the driver this time, and it is natural for him to be promoted to the general of the chariot and cavalry and the marquis of the county, so you don't need to say much, it's decided!" After thinking about it for a while, Empress Dowager He, who understood that the family was not trustworthy now, directly ended the controversy with categorical words.
In the face of Empress Dowager He's words, even an old fox like Yuan Kui did not dare to oppose it head-on, and in desperation, all the ministers of the family acquiesced to the reward of this famous weapon......
……
The court meeting had just ended, and it was located in the hall of the Yuan family.
In the splendid hall, there seemed to be no bloody smell of corpses on the streets of Luoyang two days ago, and a group of beautiful singers who had obviously been carefully selected danced in the hall to the accompaniment of the surrounding musicians.
"Jianyang, I didn't expect that the Queen Mother and Her Majesty blatantly wanted to reuse that Li Zisheng, which really chilled our scholars!"
As the pillar of the Yuan family, Taifu Yuan Kui also raised the wine glass in his hand with some sighs at this time, and sighed to Ding Yuan, who was invited.
"Uncle, that Li Zisheng is a martial artist, and he also openly killed Dong Tingshi, and he was actually reused by the Queen Mother...... Alas~!"
Listening to Yuan Kui's words. Before Ding Yuan and Lu Bu beside him could speak, Yuan Shao on the side opened his mouth to echo.
However, Yuan Shao obviously didn't pay attention, and his evaluation of "a martial artist" that belittled Li Yuan made a cold light flash in the eyes of Lu Bu next to Ding Yuan.
"Youzhou drove the general Li Zisheng, and I have also heard of his reputation. But this is a decision made by the Queen Mother and Her Majesty, and we can't say anything more, and when we talk about killing Dong Tingshi, it is more that Dong Tingshi is trying to attack Feng Xuan......"
Regarding Yuan Kui and Yuan Shao's words, Ding Yuan, who put down the wine glass in his hand, did not immediately echo it, but said very carefully.
Ding Yuan is not a fool!
Hearing the promise of Yuan Kui and other families, it is one thing to come to King Qin in Luoyang with the Bingzhou army, and in the face of the pull of the Empress Dowager He, there is also a conflict with Li Yuan. That's a different story.
If Dong Zhuo said the words of abolishing the emperor directly, and planned to put it into action, maybe Ding Yuan would resolutely come forward and show his character as a scholar.
Now that Li Yuan has not done any evil deeds, and at the same time, the Empress Dowager He and the rightful heir Young Emperor are on the throne, is Ding Yuan stupid or crazy, and he will go out directly after listening to Yuan Kui's words? can do it and state the history of the position. Ding Yuan was by no means a hot-blooded little white who could be instigated to die with a few words, but vaguely perfunctory to Yuan Kui.
"Huh. Jianyang, the general was killed by Shichang, then Li Zisheng was ordered by the general to come to Luoyang, and now the foreign army controls Luoyang, which is a taboo, if there is a chance to garrison Luoyang now. I'm afraid it's ......."
Seeing that Ding Yuan did not respond clearly, Yuan Kui did not get angry, but patiently persuaded Ding Yuan.
This is not that Yuan Kui lowered his value, but was forced by the current situation!
Now in Luoyang City, more than ninety out of five are Youzhou troops and integrated armies. The private soldiers of the family and the new army of the Eighth School of Xiyuan, as well as the part of the northern and southern armies that were originally controlled, were directly dealt with and consumed by Li Yuan secretly in the Luoyang Rebellion, and now the family in Luoyang City can at most make up a few thousand parts.
This kind of strength, even in the face of a captain of the Youzhou Army, is estimated to be unable to beat, and Yuan Kui and other high-level scholars are not crazy, of course they will not do this kind of thing to hit a stone with an egg.
However, if there are now 3,000 iron cavalry and at least tens of thousands of horses in the future, the Bingzhou Army Brigade can stand on the side of the family, then Li Yuan, who now controls Luoyang City and Si Li, will have at least the strength to fight!
It's a pity that in the face of Yuan Kui's co-optation and verbal persuasion, Ding Yuan, who is now being co-opted by Empress Dowager He and has not seen Li Yuan's evil deeds, will not recklessly step into the whirlpool of power disputes, even if Yuan Kui is quite sincere, but Ding Yuan is vague Yuan Kui, Yuan Shao and others under the guise of haha.
"Uninteresting ......"
Looking at the conversation of Yuan Kui, Yuan Shao, Ding Yuan and others in the hall, Lu Bu, who was forgotten on the side, commented in his heart, and without hesitation, he watched the singing and dancing in front of him and tasted the delicious food in front of him.
Regarding Lu Bu's behavior, except for Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu, who looked at it with a trace of disdain and scolded "rude and reckless" in their hearts, no one else cared about Lu Bu's thoughts. Even Ding Yuan was busy playing with the old fox Yuan Kui at this time......
……
At night, inside a palace in the royal palace.
"Tsk, I can't see it, you do have some guts? Don't you want to be a puppet......"
On the big bed in the palace, Li Yuan, who had just vented, said to the Empress Dowager He with a little mockery.
By Li Yuan's side, part of the jade body was covered by a silk sheet, but most of the seductive ketone body was still revealed, and looking at the crimson and sweat beads on his ketone body, as well as the gasping like a thirsty fish, it was foreseeable how fierce the battle between Li Yuan and him was just now!
"Whew...... Mourning ...... The mourning family is just for self-preservation!"
In the face of Li Yuan's words, as well as the demon hand that was roaming in her female Qiao's body, after a fierce fight, Empress Dowager He, whose body was paralyzed like a puddle of mud, explained to Li Yuan with some difficulty.
At least, now in the face of Li Yuan, who has mastered the relevant vigilances of the palace and has an army of more than 100,000 people, even if the other party bullies him like a plaything, now the Empress Dowager He can only work hard to serve the other party in bed, and after making some small actions and being provoked by Li Yuan, it is more to show her kindness.
Of course, in Empress Dowager He's heart, it is completely because she does not have her brother as a general, and now in the face of the words of the family and Li Yuan, she is more of a means of checks and balances, and she does not dare to trust one side easily!
"It doesn't matter! I'll tell you, before the confrontation of strength, a little caution is not worth mentioning at all!"
Regarding Empress Dowager He's careful thinking and methods, Li Yuan did not mean to be angry.
It's a normal thing, if anyone else, in the situation of the Empress Dowager He, he wouldn't think about being a puppet with peace of mind, even if it was an emperor like Liu Xie who had gone through many tribulations, he had some thoughts and actions after Cao Cao welcomed him, and the Empress Dowager He was thinking about the follow-up situation now, and it was not something that made Li Yuan feel strange.
"However, I still have to give you a little punishment~!"
Seeing a faint flash of happiness in Empress Dowager He's eyes, Li Yuan picked up the jade body that was still wearing a phoenix crown with a smile on his face, and then said softly in Empress Dowager He's ear.
"Ah~!!" (To be continued.) )
