Chapter 209: That year, the family ruled the world

Since the death of Emperor Ling, Jian Shuo and the Dong family have been punished, the He brothers are in charge of the outer court and He Hou is in charge of the palace, and the authority of the world belongs to the He family.

Later, He Jin was a great scholar, with the Yuan brothers as his henchmen, and recruited He Hao and Henan Zheng Tai and others as wings.

Before the Huan Ling Dynasty, scholars were mostly oppressed by eunuchs, and even had the disaster of party rebellion. Now seeing He Jin doing this, many scholars think that the opportunity for revenge has come, so many scholars have come to ask He Jin to punish the eunuchs to calm the world.

Yuan Benchu, the fourth and third dukes, has always been known as a model in the world, and why did he enter his confidants, these people were headed by him.

Since He Jin took power, Yuan Shao has also mentioned this matter to him several times, but He Jin has always shirked it on the grounds that the time is not yet ripe.

"Originally, now according to what you said, I have called for a large conscription of foreign troops to threaten the Queen Mother, but the Queen Mother is still unwilling to compromise, what do you think?"

In the general's mansion, He Jin looked at Yuan Shao, who came to visit early in the morning.

Yuan Shao smiled when he heard this: "Now the soldiers outside the city are far away, as long as a few days later, when they make some noise, the Queen Mother will definitely abandon the eunuchs, the Queen Mother Shengming, it is not difficult to make such a decision."

Then he paused slightly, "Although these people are heroes, the general holds the male soldiers and holds the talisman, which is enough to control them." It's just that Shao has a clue, why did the general add Qingzhou Mu Liu Bei to the recruits?"

It turned out that he didn't mention Liu Bei when he made suggestions to He Jin that day, firstly, Liu Bei was originally a relative of the Han family, and secondly, he had never seen through this person, so he summoned this person to come, but he was afraid that it would ruin his plan. It's just that He Jin insists on this, and he has no way.

"Why do you want to summon Qingzhou Mu Liu Bei?" He Jin smiled, "Xuande is the old man of you and me, and we haven't seen each other for many years since he went to Beihai. Besides, Xuande has a lot of talents, and I have always admired him. If things go well this time, I will leave him in Luoyang, and I will be my right-hand man with you, and I will be lazy at that time. In the beginning, what do you think? ”

"That's what the general said." Yuan Shao smiled and nodded, the expression on his face remained unchanged, "Xuande is indeed very talented, if it can be used by the general, it is naturally the best." ”

The two talked about some political affairs in the DPRK and China, and Yuan Shao got up and left.

Looking at Yuan Shao's departing back, He Jin grinned.

Now in Luoyang City, he seems to have a monopoly on power, but everyone has their own thoughts.

In the harem, why is He Hou unwilling to remove the eunuchs? It is nothing more than wanting to learn from the first emperor, with eunuchs as his wings, and restraining the courtiers and him, the general who has military power.

Among the scholars led by Yuan Shao, there are many people who want to punish the eunuchs to clear the evils of the times, but most of them want to take advantage of this to avenge the humiliation of the eunuchs back then.

He sighed, now in power, it seemed that everything was in his thoughts, but when he made a decision, he had to look forward and backward.

Now he somewhat understood the difficulties of the Spirit Emperor at the beginning.

If you don't make the decision at home, you don't know the cost of firewood, rice, oil and salt.

He Jin summoned his servants and asked him to invite one of them.

Half an hour later, the servant returned to the house.

He was followed by the military captain who had returned to Luoyang not long ago, Cao Cao and Cao Mengde.

"I wonder what happened when the general summoned Cao?"

Cao Cao saw that the ceremony was over, and asked directly.

Although Cao Cao and Yuan Shao were both the eighth lieutenants of the West Garden, Cao Cao and He Jin have never had much intersection, plus the matter of the Empress Song at the beginning, it was He Jin who benefited from it, and it was Cao Cao who suffered from it.

"If it's all right, can't I see Mengde? I have always known that Meng De is very mentally minded, but he was restricted by the general trend of the DPRK and China before, and he was not allowed to get close to Meng De. At the beginning, you and I were just involved in the matter of Queen Song, and I didn't think much about Meng De. He Jin smiled heartily.

Cao Cao sighed in his heart, he had also drunk with He Jin and Liu Bei and others in Liu Bei's Qingping Liquor House, at that time He Jin was silent, and the general in front of him who was talking and laughing was completely like two people.

Power can indeed support people.

"The general is too worried, he only knows the country, and he doesn't know anything else." Cao Cao also smiled when he saw that He Jin deliberately showed goodwill.

"Meng De, sit down, I have something to ask."

He Jin pointed to the stone bench in the courtyard and took the lead in sitting.

"What does Meng De think I did to recruit foreign soldiers to try to be eunuchs?" He asked with a smile.

Cao Cao was silent for a moment, and then said with a smile: "Zhongguan has existed since ancient times, but those in power should not pretend to be powerful. If today's son is young, the general is in power, and he wants to get rid of the eunuchs, but one jailer is enough, so why do they recruit foreign soldiers one after another. The slightest problem is a major disaster. ”

He Jin smiled when he heard this, he knew that what Cao Cao said was sincere.

"What Meng De said is also reasonable." He Jin scrubbed the sword at his waist, "I don't know how this is the simplest, but I also have my own difficulties." ”

Cao Cao thought about it for a while, and had already figured out the key point, but he didn't want to mention it.

In the end, the He family is a newly rising relative, not an ancient family with deep roots like the Yuan family and the Yang family. And the rise of a family is like a person suddenly getting rich, and his wealth has increased suddenly, but his heart does not match, and it is inevitable that he will cause trouble.

Why did Emperor Ling gather the world's wealth in the first place? In addition to using this to meet the state expenses, it was also caused by the poverty of his time in the river, and the fact that he and Empress Dong were troubled by money.

He secretly glanced at He Jin, and saw that although He Jin seemed to be bright, there was a faint sadness between his eyebrows, and he thought that it was mostly related to the He family.

He Jin no longer mentioned this matter, and said with a smile: "When Luoyang was separated, Xuande and I haven't seen each other for a long time."

Cao Cao also smiled and said: "Cao and Xuande met on the battlefield of Yingchuan that day, and now he is shouting, but the majesty is tight."

………………

In the Che Cavalry General's Mansion, he suddenly became noble, and now He Miao, a Che Cavalry General who can be regarded as one person and more than 10,000 people, is checking the property in the mansion.

In the past, with his brother fighting in the butcher shop, how could he have imagined that there would be today's scenery.

The belongings from the people who came to his door these days alone were enough to open his eyes.

"General, another guest has arrived." The butler came in from outside the house with a prayer slip in hand.

He Miao frowned, and said unhappily: "Didn't you say it, General Ben is tired today, and I want them to come back in a few days."

The butler hesitated, and finally gritted his teeth and said in a low voice: "General, this person has sent a lot of property."

He Miao raised his eyebrows when he heard this, took the greeting post in the butler's hand and looked at it, even if he had seen a lot of belongings and jewelry these days, he was stunned when he saw the gifts on the post.

He looked at the payment on the prayer post, Feng Che Du Lieutenant, Dong Min.

…………

He Miao didn't want to entertain guests today, but money has always been able to communicate with the gods, Dong Min gave such a heavy gift, if he didn't see the previous one, it was really a little unreasonable.

He got up and sat down on the throne, his sleeves straight.

Now that his identity is different, he has also begun to deliberately imitate the words and deeds of those who have seen the family before.

Soon after, the housekeeper took Dong Min into from outside.

Fengche Lieutenant Dong Min was dressed in light clothes, never wore a sword, his figure was slightly thin, and his eyebrows were eight points similar to Dong Zhuo.

He Miao raised his eyes and looked at this colleague who was common before, but he was not very familiar.

"Uncle Ying, between you and my colleagues, why do you need to spend so much, do you think that I can't be greedy for money?"

Dong Min smiled when he heard this, "Shuda is upright, and it is a matter known to everyone in the court. It's just that now it's different from before, Shuda is in a high position, buying a house, adding clothes and horses, and everywhere needs money. I'm not short of money, and I'm just doing my best. ”

He added, "Shuda is similar to me, you and my brother are both in high positions, and we have a lot of exposure to them." ”

He Miao picked the corners of her mouth, as if she had something to say, but in the end she still didn't say it.

Dong Min took his look in his eyes and nodded imperceptibly.

"Uncle Ying must have something else to do here." He Miao stopped talking about it.

Dong Min smiled: "There are indeed side things. Now that the general has summoned foreign soldiers to punish the eunuchs, my brother is about to enter Beijing in the near future, and he wants me to make a point or two in advance. Now in Luoyang City, in addition to the general, who can be more prominent than Shuda. ”

He Miao showed an arrogant face, and now he is also a big man in the eyes of others.

"Uncle Ying rest assured, Dong Jun is a cadre of the country, and he is known for his prestige in Xiliang, but this time he is just using his prestige to deter eunuchs."

He Miao comforted him, but he didn't put Dong Zhuo in his eyes.

Now that the He family is in charge of the inside and outside, even if he Dong Zhuo is a general in Liangzhou, what can he do?

"Actually, my brother asked me to come and ask about it." Dong Min lowered his voice suddenly, "General He said in his letter to my brother that he would eradicate the eunuchs, does he really want to cut off the eunuchs?"

He Miao's heart moved, and he glanced at Dong Min coldly, "What does Captain Fengche mean?" ”

"Shuda doesn't need to worry too much, just ask for my brother, if the general really wants to eradicate the eunuchs, he would better straighten out the army and horses earlier." Dong Min's expression remained unchanged.

He Miao said in a deep voice: "Naturally, we must really eradicate the eunuchs."

Dong Min glanced at his expression and nodded with a smile.

The two have never intersected on weekdays, and today he also greeted him because of the money sent by Dong Min.

The two spoke a few more words and said some interesting things in the court recently, and then Dong Min said goodbye and left.

With Dong Min's departure, He Miao immediately called the housekeeper and sent a message to the eunuchs in the palace, asking them to go to the queen mother to intercede earlier.

He has always had a good relationship with the eunuchs, and the palace attendants also have a lot of money to worship him, and more importantly, the wife of Zhang Rang's son is from their lineage.

Watching the housekeeper leave in a hurry, He Miao let out a sigh and said with a wry smile in a low voice: "Named brother, after all, it is not a blood relative."

………………

Dong Min, who came out of the general's mansion, did not go home immediately, but hid in a hidden place outside the door, until he saw the housekeeper in He Mansion hurrying towards the palace, and then he turned around and came to a wine house in the city.

In the wine house, there are already people waiting for each other.

Dong Min sat down casually, first took a sip of the wine on the table, and then coughed a few times, "The taste of this wine is a little worse, and the taste of my daughter is really too different." ”

"This is already the best drink in the city except for my daughter Hong, I am not a rich person like you, although my daughter is red, but she can be a man, the most important thing is to do what you can."

The man opposite Dong Min laughed and took a sip of wine.

Dong Min laughed and said: "Wu Kuang, you are also a subordinate of the general, and you can't even afford to invite your daughter Hong, and you have lost the face of the general."

The person opposite him was He Jin's subordinate, surnamed Wu Mingkuang.

Wu Kuang just laughed in the face of Dong Min's ridicule, "The general's subordinates also have to eat, and the salary is not more than others." It's not those strong beams on the mountain, you can go down the mountain if you lack money. ”

There was a constant noise in the wine house, and from time to time a man was drunk and argued loudly.

"Your Chen Liuwu family is not a small family, will you still need this little money for drinks?" Dong Min smiled and revealed.

Wu Kuang pursed his lips, "I'm not the main vein in the family, and now the main vein in the family has gone with Yizhou." ”

Dong Min smiled, he had heard that Chen Liuwu's family had sent many people to follow Liu Yan into Yizhou.

"If you don't talk about it, it's depressing. So what's so good about the closed land of Yizhou? Where than the Upper Central Plains. Wu Kuang took a sip of wine, obviously dissatisfied with the family's decision.

He looked at Dong Min and asked, "How is the performance of the Che Cavalry General?"

Dong Min sighed, "I saw the housekeeper in the palace hurrying towards the palace, thinking that I was going to report to the eunuchs in the palace." ”

"Hey." Wu Kuang sighed, "The general of the chariot and the general are both brothers, if they are one and the same, what can't be done?" But he wants to be biased towards eunuchs! ”

Dong Min smiled lightly and persuaded: "I can't say that the general of the chariot cavalry also has unspeakable hardships."

"What can he do!" Wu Kuang slapped the wooden table in front of him, "It's nothing more than greedy for the money given to him by those eunuchs!" He also didn't want to think about it, if it weren't for the general who killed pigs and dogs and worked hard to support him, how would he have the scenery he has today. ”

Dong Min lowered his head to drink, and pulled the corners of his mouth where he couldn't see it.

The He brothers are not of the same heart, and He Jin's subordinates are dissatisfied with He Miao, and they may be able to use it in the future.

………………

When the turbulent clouds were surging in the city of Luoyang, and people's hearts were calculating, there were several large ships heading north of the sea north of the North Sea.

Different from the common ships in the Han Dynasty, although these seven or eight large ships are also common building ship styles, they are much larger than ordinary ships.

The building ship can be divided into three floors, the first floor is called the house, the second floor is called the flying house, and the third floor is called the bird room.

Now next to the railing on the first floor, a young man was holding on to the railing, poking his head out, retching incessantly.

Beside him, Liu Bei forced a smile.

Behind Liu Bei stood a white-robed young general.

"Gongda, I don't want a character like you to get seasick."

The young scholar was Xun You, and when he heard this, he turned his head and glanced at the two people behind him.

"The lord and Zilong are also from the Northland, and they are outliers if they don't get seasick."
