Chapter 20: The Two Families Merge

The next day's court deliberations had nothing to do with Liu Xuan, but now in this imperial city, there is leakage everywhere, and there is no news to hide at all, but in half an hour, everything that happened in the court has reached Liu Xuan's ears.

In the beginning, there was no change, and many ministers should have discussed their affairs and seized power -- in yesterday's great turmoil, some people fled and left Beijing, including some middle- and low-level officials in Beijing.

Among them, there are the most military positions - that chaos, fools know that they have to be held accountable afterwards, and generally these unlucky guys are the low-level guys, so they can run early, and there is also a kind of participation in that chaos, taking the opportunity to rob, and not being caught afterwards does not mean that they are safe, so they also take the opportunity to run away.

At this time, although the military system in Beijing was still in place, there were countless vacancies in both the soldiers and the battalion generals and colonels, and the ministers of the DPRK and China wanted to take the opportunity to arrange for some close people to go to the army.

These things, the Empress Dowager He had already discussed with Liu Xuan, and knew that if she wanted to win over these courtiers, she still had to give the appropriate sweetness, so as long as she didn't talk about Yulin Jun, all the ministers were allowed, and all the ministers were all human spirits, so why didn't you understand what the Queen Mother meant when she saw this situation?

I didn't need to think about it in my heart, I had a plan in the blink of an eye, and then I kept trying, and soon knew that the Queen Mother's bottom line was that Yu Lin Jun.

"Today, the armies in Beijing are only the five colonels of the Northern Army, Yulin and Huben are the most important, Huben is in the hands of Yuan Highway, not the empress dowager and the cronies of the Son of Heaven, it seems that this Yulin army is determined not to let go again!"

Situ Wang Yun thought for a moment and understood the key, but it was one thing for the Queen Mother to refuse to let go, and it was another thing for who to hand it over.

They exchanged glances with the surrounding princes, and everyone reached a consensus in the blink of an eye - no matter what, this army could not be robbed by eunuchs.

In the end, when Empress Dowager He proposed: Feng Yilang Cao Cao is the general of Yulin Zhonglang, in charge of the Yulin Army and the two Yulin orphans!, all the princes were also stunned.

"Cao Cao?"

At this moment, everyone's minds were different, and those who knew something about Cao Cao thought in their hearts, whether Cao Cao's command of the Yulin Army was beneficial or harmful to him? What they didn't understand was to secretly look at those people who seemed to have understanding, and then carefully observe the expressions of these people, hoping to get useful information for themselves.

But no matter what, none of the people went to observe the young emperor, except for Dong Zhuo - Dong Zhuo, as the assassin of Liangzhou, led the troops into Beijing to escort him, and there was no seat for him in this court, but at this time, it was not an ordinary time, and he was still arranged to sit down to discuss major matters. Whoever called Dong Zhuo controlled most of the soldiers and horses in Beijing as soon as he entered Beijing.

Dong Zhuo has been observing the performance of the young emperor since he entered the palace, and at this time he has already come to a conclusion in his heart: "He has been on the throne for half a year, but he has no prestige of the Son of Heaven, except for a few people in the courtiers, he never asks the emperor's opinion on the deliberations - it is said that it is reported to the emperor that he knows, but in fact he asks the queen mother what he means." From this point of view, it should be feasible to abolish the emperor!"

With a decision in his heart, he no longer paid attention to the things discussed by the ministers, and only when he mentioned the position of Yulin Zhonglang General, Dong Zhuo raised his eyes and peeked at the Queen Mother: "It seems that if it is late, it will change, and it should be broken quickly!"

When the ministers left the Deyang Palace, Dong Zhuo immediately beckoned everyone to go to him for a banquet, this matter was almost not disguised, although the princes were dissatisfied, but no one wanted to offend this powerful figure, so they all nodded and agreed, so this group of people finished discussing things in the palace, and went to Dong Zhuo to drink and discuss - this time Liu Xuan also heard the details, even if Dong Zhuo fed the mansion with a bucket, but also helpless the white crane in his hand.

When the moon hung high and the stars were shining, the white crane returned, bringing the same news as Liu Xuan expected: "Dong Zhuo really wants to abolish the establishment, but I didn't expect that there was no objection among the ministers!"

Everything is just as Liu Xuan thought, Dong Zhuo and the princes of the court and many of the Qin Wang's teachers who entered Beijing were drinking and feasting in the mansion, this mansion was naturally occupied in the chaos, it was the mansion where the general He Jin originally lived, and now it was directly occupied by Dong Zhuo, but no one dared to speak. Coupled with the fact that He Jin is dead, his faction has fallen apart, and no one wants to come out like this.

After everyone drank for a while, Dong Zhuo put forward the matter of abolishing the establishment straight to the point - Dong Zhuo was also born in the army, and he also didn't like those twists and turns, and he was more happy to do things straightforwardly. In addition, he is the strongest in Jingzhong, who dares to say a word?

Sure enough, as soon as the matter of abolishing the emperor was mentioned, the ministers were all silent, they didn't agree with Dong Zhuo's suggestion, but the current situation was like this, who would dare to be the first bird?

Through the paper crane's view, he reproduced the scene in his mind, and Liu Xuan sneered: "There are only two or three loyal people in the court!"

Sure enough, those who jumped out to oppose after a while were the ones Liu Xuan thought of, but the first to jump out to oppose was the Bingzhou Assassin Shi Ding Yuan, who had soldiers in his hands and only rushed to Beijing during the day.

After that, Liu Xuan just took a casual look, he knew that Dong Zhuo and Ding Yuan would be pinched from tomorrow, and Ding Yuan was likely to be cleaned up by Dong Zhuo as in 'history', and his soldiers and horses would be swallowed up by Dong Zhuo a lot-but he vaguely remembered that although Ding Yuan's soldiers and horses were swallowed by Dong Zhuo, most of them were dispersed, these soldiers were the elite of the state, and they had been fighting against the Huns for a long time, so it seemed too a pity to give up?

In addition to these soldiers and horses, Liu Xuan is more concerned about the nine-foot-long, high-flying weapon, and at first glance, he is a heroic general among the people - just this appearance, you don't need to ask to know that this is Lu Bu and Lu Fengxian, who is known as the first fierce general of the Three Kingdoms.

Regarding Lu Bu, Liu Xuan has been thinking since he determined the period he is in: if he can take Lu Bu for his own use, he will not worry about running out of generals!

It's just that he was too far away from Lu Bu at that time, so he focused on Cao Cao, who was a little closer, until Lu Bu entered Beijing today, and the ideas of his early years began to pop up again.

"Lu Bu's character, not to mention is to pursue better treatment, in the era he lived in before, it is really nothing! The only worse thing is that Lu Bu kills his former boss every time he changes jobs, which is too taboo. ”

I touched my chin, drank cold water, sobered up, and sorted out my thoughts.

"However, I can give what everyone in the world can give to Lu Bu! And what the princes in the world can't give, I can also give it.

Although it is said that the heroes of the late Han Dynasty stood side by side, there was always only one Son of Heaven, and before the emergence of the Three Kingdoms, the Han Emperor was still the most nominally supreme existence.

What's more, if Liu Xuan ascends the throne as the emperor, he will definitely not just be the emperor with ordinary decorations, but will take the power in his own hands, in that case, the authority will be stronger, who in the world can compare?

"In this way, it is not impossible to bring Lu Bu under the account!"

With such thoughts, Liu Xuan fell asleep on the couch in a daze, but he called Cao Cao in high spirits early the next morning.

At this time, Cao Cao has been promoted to the general of Yulin Zhonglang, according to the official system of the Han Dynasty, subject to Guangluxun, one of the nine Qings, and at yesterday's court meeting, Empress Dowager He directly promoted Lu Zhi to Guangluxun, so nominally the central military system of the Han Dynasty is close to Liu Xuan.

In fact, at first, Empress Dowager He wanted Huangfu Song to take this position, but Dong Zhuo and Huangfu Song had always had a disagreement, so she insisted on opposing Lu Zhi - Lu Zhi was well-known in the court, and everyone knew that Lu Zhi was loyal to the Han family, so he held this position to make all the princes feel satisfied, so they all opened their mouths to agree.

As soon as Cao Cao arrived, Liu Xuan first opened his mouth to congratulate: "Meng De is the general of Yulin Zhonglang, and he can show his talents in the future!"

"Thank you, Your Highness!" he knew that Liu Xuan had won this position for him, although he had already known how Liu Xuan did it after thinking about it yesterday, he had to admit that even if he knew, others would not be able to copy what Liu Xuan did, after all, not everyone had the identity of the royal family and the elder brother of the Son of Heaven.

As soon as the two sides sat down, Cao Cao said: "Your Highness, as soon as it dawns today, Ding Yuan, the assassin of Bingzhou, will call Dong Zhuo outside the city, and the two families are about to merge now!"

"Oh?" Liu Xuan was not surprised that the two of them would fight, what he was surprised was that Ding Yuan was so anxious? What is the plan? Could it be that this Ding Yuan saw that there were many dreams at night, and if Dong Zhuo digested the soldiers and horses in Beijing, it would be even more difficult for him to move, so he wanted to strike first?

Cao Cao had been observing Liu Xuan's expression, and seeing his reaction, he knew that this King of Liang had already known the news, because although Liu Xuan was surprised, it was not that kind of surprise, as if he heard that someone in the next door had gone out.

"Meng De thinks, who wins and who loses?"

Cao Cao pondered for a moment, but he couldn't think too much, so he had to shake his head: "The soldiers and horses of the two families are the elite of the border army, and each has a fierce general, so it is unpredictable to win or lose!"

Liu Xuan knew that it was not Cao Cao's vision, but no one would have thought that Dong Zhuo would dig up the number one general under Ding Yuan's account, and even gave Ding Yuan's head, so Cao Cao thought that it was normal for victory or defeat to be unpredictable.

Then the two did not dwell on this matter, but asked Cao Cao how he planned to rectify the Yulin Army.

"Cao repaired a few letters yesterday and summoned those who are good at arching horses among the brothers of the same generation in the clan, but it will take some time to do it!"

During this time, although the Yulin Army was under Cao Cao's control, it was impossible to do something if he wanted to.

Liu Xuan was helpless about this, he knew a lot of future fierce generals in his heart, but how to find these people Let's not talk about it, none of them live in Luoyang City, and it takes a long time to send people to find it, and it is far away and can't quench their thirst.

"In that case, don't worry, just sit and watch the big scene between Dong Zhuo and Ding Yuan!"

When Cao Cao heard this, he immediately understood that whether it was Dong Zhuo or Ding Yuan, Liu Xuan didn't like it. But think about it, these two people actually led the soldiers and horses to fight outside the imperial court in order to inspect one side of the imperial court, where did they place the imperial court and the majesty of the royal family?

This alone can be determined that no matter who wins, even if he is arrogant for a while, when Liu Xuan frees up his hand in the future, it will definitely not end well.
