Chapter 19: General Habayashi Nakaro

After discussing with Cao Cao, Liu Xuan asked Cao Bao to send Cao Cao out of the palace, and he went straight to find the Empress Dowager He!

Although the chaos has subsided now, people in the palace who have a little knowledge know that this matter has only just begun. He Jin was killed, and the court, which was originally controlled by him, seemed to be redividing the forces, and it was difficult to say who could hold the greatest authority.

And Empress Dowager He, who relied on her brother's power to control the inner court, did not have the heart to rest at this time, and now she was sitting alone in the dormitory, looking at Liu Bi, who was sleeping sweetly, worried.

"Now that the two brothers are dead, the court is no longer under control, and the debate has just ascended the throne, and there is no foundation to speak of, what should we do in the future?"

What worried her even more was that the cronies she sent out soon reported that most of the soldiers and horses in Jingzhong fell into the hands of Dong Zhuo, the assassin of Liangzhou.

"Dong Zhuo leads troops into Beijing, I'm afraid the plan is very big! If he is asked to control the court, how can our mother and son be good?"

Thinking of this, my heart was even more worried, looking at Liu Wei, who was sleeping very sweetly, Empress Dowager He sighed: "I'm afraid that I won't be able to sleep so peacefully in the future!

At this time, she categorically would not have thought that as soon as Dong Zhuocai entered the capital, he had the intention of abolishing the emperor. If she really knew, Empress Dowager He would be even more worried.

After all, in her heart, as long as Liu Wei is still sitting on the throne of the emperor, then there will be no worries about her own life, the difference is that if you have power, you can live more comfortably, if you have no power and power, I am afraid that you will have to live that dark and difficult life.

But even then, she felt that no matter how bitter she was, it was limited, after all, the emperor's body was there, and it was not that there were no truly loyal ministers in the court, and the power of these people could not be ignored, even if Dong Zhuo really held most of the power, it was impossible for anyone to control it.

"Perhaps, it should have a relationship with those old ministers?"

After calculating in his heart, the names worth winning over came out one by one: "Taifu Yuan Kui is an auxiliary minister, Dong Zhuo's struggle for power also hurts his own interests, plus the fourth and third princes of the Yuan family, the prestige is very high, Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu, the two younger generations have more soldiers and horses in hand, and they must be wooed!"

"Taiwei Yang Biao and Situ Wang Yun are prestigious!"

In addition, Huangfu Song, who had repeatedly established meritorious deeds, but was idle at home because of the eunuch's advice, could also be wooed: "This person is a real loyal minister of the Han family, and he has a very high prestige in the army." ”

"Shaofu Zhu Jun is in charge of all things in the palace, and he has to win over them!"

I calculated them one by one in my heart, and somehow suddenly remembered Liu Xuanlai.

"King Liang ......"

It stands to reason that this throne has been sealed, and Liu Xuan is not as young as King Chen Liu, so he should have gone to live in his own fief a long time ago, and should not continue to stay in the imperial city.

But in the past few months, things have continued, and everyone has forgotten about it! What's more, Liu Xuan is too low-key on weekdays, if he hadn't seen this person, I'm afraid no one would have remembered that there was such a prince in the palace for a long time.

Yesterday's incident, Empress Dowager He had also learned from her subordinates and Liu Wei, although she had long known that Liu Xuan was capable, she didn't expect it to be so powerful.

"Now that Bian'er is lonely, look at that Liu Xuan seems to be good to Bian'er, maybe he can rely on it to help?"

Anyway, this world is the world of the Liu family, Liu Xuan and Liu Wei are brothers, now that the throne has been decided, then Liu Xuan should try his best to ensure that the Liu family does not fall in the world in order to live a better life - especially not to be controlled by outsiders.

To put it bluntly, it is their brothers who fight for the emperor and everything in the world, which is their own business, but if outsiders want to join in, then the first thing is to defeat this outsider.

At this point, Liu Xuan should understand that Queen He felt that even if Liu Xuan had some dislike with herself, she would not embarrass her younger brother at this time.

But think about it last year, I still wanted to drive this Liu Xuan out of the palace, and even coerced him with poisonous wine, but the situation changed in a year, not only to think of keeping King Liang in the capital, but even to join forces with him, the world is capricious, nothing more than this.

Just as he was thinking about how to discuss with Liu Xuan, the king of Liang, he saw the palace maid hurriedly come in to report and say: "King Liang wants to see the queen mother, and now he is waiting outside the palace." ”

Hearing this, the Empress Dowager He was shocked, and then she realized that this Liu Xuan must have thought of a place with herself, and she couldn't help muttering in her heart: "This Liu Xuan is quick to think, I'm afraid that he also thought of those key points, and I don't know if it's a blessing or a curse to stay in Beijing......

For a while, he was worried that even if he drove Dong Zhuo away, he was afraid that the power of the court would be captured by King Liang, what kind of life would he and his son have at that time?

Fortunately, this trance was only for a moment, and after coming back to his senses, he immediately asked the palace maid to lead Liu Xuan in, and he went out of the bedroom and sat down outside to wait for Liu Xuan to arrive.

As soon as Liu Xuan came in, he saw the Queen Mother sitting on it, and after she came in and stood still, the Queen Mother stood up, and then returned the ceremony according to the law after she finished giving the ceremony, and all the etiquette was done, and then she sat down successively - Liu Xuan has a throne, according to the etiquette law of the Han Dynasty, no one can sit there and receive a salute from him, even the emperor.

It can be said that since he sealed King Liang, Liu Xuan's treatment has been improved by several grades, and his life is much happier than before.

But this time I didn't come to show my identity, it was always a matter of business, and Liu Xuan didn't like to go around, so as soon as he sat down, he went straight in and said: "Today, the general died unexpectedly, there is chaos in Beijing, and there are tigers and wolves waiting around. If you don't plan early, you may be in trouble!"

Empress Dowager He was still thinking about how Liu Xuan would lead the topic out, but she didn't expect this King Liang to speak so directly, and as soon as he opened his mouth, he cut to the point, and he didn't hide it at all, and said the matter very directly.

I didn't know how to deal with it for a while, but I opened my mouth in a tone of asking for advice: "According to King Liang's opinion, what should I do?"

Although Empress Dowager He has been in the palace for a long time, she has a bad background after all, and her knowledge is limited.

In the past, there was a great general He Jin who lived in the court, so naturally there was no trouble, but now the situation has changed greatly, although she knows in her heart that she wants to win over some people, but what else should she do, she has no clue.

At this time, seeing that Liu Xuan's tone seemed to have a plan, he couldn't help but ask.

Liu Xuan didn't hide it, and said directly: "In the current situation, you should first control the soldiers and horses to protect the Son of Heaven! If there are no soldiers and horses in hand, even if you have the support of the court and the princes, it is useless." ”

Empress Dowager He strongly agrees with this, her brother can control the situation in the court by seizing the military power, but she doesn't understand how to master the soldiers and horses, not to mention the chaos of the soldiers and horses in Beijing, and most of them have been won over by Dong Zhuo, so it seems too late to make a move at this time?

Expressing his doubts one by one, Liu Xuan directly explained: "Hu Ben Zhonglang will Yuan Shu control the Tiger Ben Army, and the Xiyuan Army is in the hands of Yuan Shao, the captain of Si Li, these two troops and horses do not need to move, and they cannot be moved!

Empress Dowager He also thought deeply of Liu Xuan's words, but when she heard this, she suddenly suspected that this Liu Xuan came to want the position of Yu Lin Zhonglang?

This position is not very high in the court, but it is not low, and there are soldiers and horses in hand, it is a first-class real power military position, if the king of Liang has mastered such a force of soldiers and horses, then is it not possible to put the Son of Heaven under his control at any time? It is not impossible to even want to directly ascend the throne.

As soon as her thoughts came out, the look on her face began to become ugly, and she couldn't help but be a little colder when she spoke: "King Liang thinks that who will be the right person to be the Yulin Zhonglang?"

If Liu Xuan said that he would be in charge, then Empress Dowager He would have to find a way to send Liu Xuan out of the capital anyway, but he didn't expect Liu Xuan to answer like this - he is not a fool, he naturally understands that his direct control of soldiers and horses is too obvious, and it also violates the ancestral system, if he really does it, even if he can take the throne, I am afraid it will be difficult to gather the ministers.

So he directly pushed Cao Cao out: "Cao Cao, one of the eight captains of the West Garden, Cao Cao Mengde, is quite suitable!"

His contact with Cao Cao did not let outsiders know, although they acted together last night, but Lu Zhi and Yuan Shao saw some key points, and these people absolutely could not tell these things to the Empress Dowager He, so mentioning Cao Cao would never be suspected by the Empress Dowager.

What's more, Cao Cao also has an identity that is very suitable.

"Could it be that he is the grandson of the former middle school attendant Changqiu Cao Teng?"

"Exactly!"

When Empress Dowager He heard this, she turned out to be a eunuch, and she was also Cao Teng's grandson, so she was invisibly a little close-Da Changqiu was in charge of all things in the emperor's backyard, and Empress Dowager He naturally knew Cao Teng.

Although his brother was killed by the eunuchs, all of those eunuchs have been killed except for Zhang Rang. There are no familiar people among the foreign ministers, but the eunuchs in the inner court make her feel closer, so she does not hold a grudge against all the eunuchs because of her brother's death.

And once involved with the eunuchs, they will be rejected by everyone in the court, such people are generally difficult to develop their own power in the court, Empress Dowager He felt that if she gave this Cao Cao such an opportunity, she would definitely do her best to assist herself and Liu Wei.

The more I think about it, the more I think this person is a good candidate, but there is still one concern, that is, Cao Cao was born in the eighth lieutenant of the West Garden, and the West Garden Army was the biggest murderer of yesterday's rebellion.

Liu Xuan could see at a glance what Empress Dowager He was entangled in: Cao Cao's status as a eunuch made her very satisfied, but the background of the Xiyuan Army made her extremely jealous: the Xiyuan Army stormed the palace, frightened the Son of Heaven and the Queen Mother, and made the people in the royal family somewhat dislike the people from the Xiyuan Army.

"Yesterday, I saw that Cao Yilang did not lead troops to kill indiscriminately, but he extinguished a lot of fires!"

Such a sentence finally made Empress Dowager He make up her mind to make Cao Cao the general of Yulin, so as to help the Son of Heaven master the Yulin Army.
