Hua Xiong shouted to see Dong Zhuo, but the other generals of the Liangzhou tribe did not take this matter seriously, and a group of generals of the Western Liang Army led by Hu Zhen and others just looked at Hua Xiong with a sneer, and then returned to their respective camps to prepare.

Hua Xiong came to Dong Zhuo's living place with Dong Huang.

As soon as they met, they heard Hua Xiong shouting at Dong Zhuo: "Xiangguo! Has he lost his heroic spirit? Become the weak one?! ”

As soon as these words came out, Dong Zhuo was stunned.

He looked at Hua Xiong suspiciously, not understanding what kind of evil wind this loyal general had made today, running in front of him and yelling.

But when Dong Zhuo looked at Dong Huang on the side, he read the truth of this matter from his face.

Subsequently, Dong Zhuo knew it in his heart.

"General Hua is really a loyal minister! Sit down! Listen to the old man and you! ”

Dong Zhuo straightened up from the bed, waved his hand, and asked Hua Xiong to sit beside him.

Hua Xiong then came to Dong Zhuo's side.

"Xiangguo, why did you surrender?"

Dong Zhuo let out a long sigh.

Then I saw him say to Hua Xiong earnestly:

"General Hua, General Hua! It's not that the old man wants to surrender to Liu Jian, and the person who the old man surrenders is not Liu Jian, the old man is thinking about the Han Dynasty. ”

Of course, Dong Zhuo couldn't tell Hua Xiong that he went back to Chang'an this time to protect the Dong family, if he said so, his Dong Zhuo's cards would be completely gone.

He can only pull to the country and to the general righteousness.

"Yes, Liu Deran did cut off the old man's back road, if this is replaced by the old man's original temper, the old man will definitely kill him back to Chang'an and capture him alive, kill and scrape a thousand times!"

"But the more things the old man has experienced in the court over the years, the more he understands! General Hua, do you know why we people in Liangzhou are looked down upon? ”

Hua Xiong said: "It's not because those Dongzhou people think very highly of themselves and monopolize the road to promotion with the power of their families, so they look down on us and other people from the border counties, and think that we are border savages!" ”

Dong Zhuo let out a long sigh and said, "That's right. ”

"So over the years, the old man has tried his best to expand the New Deal, and what he wants is to change the pattern of the Han Dynasty."

"Although General Hua is a military general, he has been in the court for a long time, so he must know the content of this new policy...... As long as the new policy can be implemented in all states, counties and counties, then from now on, our Liangzhou people will also have a promotion career, although there is still no advantage in the promotion of officials, but at least the road will not be blocked. ”

"The people of Liangzhou follow the people of the Central Plains, so there is nothing inferior to say."

"I have been in the court all these years to be able to achieve this purpose...... Now that the old man is old, I am afraid that this matter will not be able to be done, and it is useless to abolish the Son of Heaven, as soon as the old man leaves the court, he will abolish the new deal under the threat of Wang Yun...... Such a son of heaven will be abolished if he is abolished, and the old man is not rare. ”

"However, if you want to implement the new policy, if you want us people in Liangzhou to stand up and behave, the new policy must be implemented, not only to use the original new policy, but also to add new new policy terms."

"And the only people who can implement this matter are Liu Jian and Liu Deran."

"The old man went back this time, not for Liu Jian, nor for the old man himself, but for our Liangzhou! For the people of Liangzhou to be able to come out, do you understand? ”

Dong Zhuo lied to Huaxiong so seriously, Dong Huang and Dong Min next to him were stunned when they heard it, to be honest, if they hadn't really told Dong Zhuo about it in advance, they would have believed Dong Zhuo now.

Sure enough, Hua Xiong was shocked.

He immediately knelt on one knee and bowed to Dong Zhuo: "Xiangguo is so compromised and dedicated to the Han Dynasty for our Liangzhou people, and he is so dedicated, the last general is still insulting to Xiangguo, he really should be killed, Xiangguo!" Damn it! ”

"Alright, alright, get up."

Dong Zhuo's face was originally super thick, and he didn't feel any shame at all in this situation.

He waved his hand and told Hua Xiong to get up.

"General Hua, you can be so frank and outspoken, proving that you are the confidant of the old man, and the old man has not mistrusted you all these years."

"You know the old man's physical condition best, when we withdraw our troops when we go back, the old man's headquarters and the army will be handed over to you as the commander! You and my brother and nephew have controlled the three armies. ”

Hua Xiong said: "Oh! ”

Dong Min said: "Brother, will the soldiers of the three armies withdraw directly to Chang'an?" ”

"Our soldiers and horses will not return to Chang'an for the time being, but will go to Fufeng County first."

"You go there to live first, and then make a decision after the old man enters the court!"

Hua Xiong said: "Xiong strictly obeys the order of Xiangguo. ”

In this way, Huaxiong was appeased by Dong Zhuo and helped Dong Zhuo command the Chinese army.

As for the other departments, after contacting most of the Western Liang generals, Hu Zhen's side began to infiltrate Zhang Ji's rebellion.

In fact, when it comes to guts, Zhang Ji is far inferior to Hu Zhen.

According to Zhang Ji's meaning, it would be best for him to simply lead his troops back to Xiliang to hide at this moment......

However, Zhang Ji was a little out of ideas, and his nephew Zhang Xiu strongly encouraged Zhang Ji to go back with Hu Zhen, and make a decision according to the form of Chang'an, maybe he could do something big.

Zhang Ji weighed left and right, and finally reluctantly chose to temporarily assist Hu Zhen, but he also kept an eye on it.

If Hu Zhen's rebellion is unfavorable, he Zhang Ji will definitely be the first to withdraw.

……

At this time, Liu Jian was in the capital, communicating with the new emperor Liu Xie about the situation in front of him.

"Uncle Huang...... Oh, not Prime Minister, why did you let Dong Zhuo's Xiliang Army be stationed in Fufeng County? ”

Liu Jian said patiently: "Your Majesty, the number of the Xiliang army is large, although we have limited their food this time, but they are flocking back, it is difficult to guarantee that no one among them will have two hearts, and want to take advantage of the laxity of the imperial court to conquer Chang'an in one fell swoop!" ”

"The minister asked them to station troops in Fufeng, one can use this to observe their actions, and the other is that although they are closer to Chang'an, they have this distance as a buffer, and the minister is also confident that they can restrain them at a critical moment."

"And for the ministers, the Xiliang army is all gathered, it is not terrible, the terrible thing is that once they are scattered as thieves, it will be a headache for the ministers, let the ministers lead the army westward and exterminate these thieves one by one, it will take several years of work, and it will also exhaust the baggage of Taicang, which is extremely unfavorable for the future strategy of the imperial court."

Liu Xie nodded suddenly: "The prime minister has been using soldiers for many years, he is good at governing the country, and he is even better at managing the army, and he will hand over the matter of dealing with the Xiliang army to the prime minister, I am very relieved!" ”

"Prime Minister, just let it go, I don't know the soldiers, everything is at the disposal of the Prime Minister...... It's just that when I was in Jizhou, the prime minister promised me about the matter, and asked the prime minister not to miss the appointment. ”

Liu Jian heard Liu Xie and Liu Jie say this, and he was immediately happy.

What Liu Xie said was indeed that when he was in Jizhou, he had already promised Liu Xie and Liu Jin.

"What Your Majesty is referring to, the minister naturally knows."

"Your Majesty wants to do business, wants to have your own industry, this minister will definitely help Your Majesty, Your Majesty, please rest assured, we have just come to Guanzhong now, many things have not started yet, this business...... There are many in the world! The land in the middle of the gate has not yet been fully explored. As long as the excavation is deep, the industries that can be shaped in Guanzhong are not less than those in Hebei. ”

"The minister will definitely take good care of the various industries in Guanzhong and expand Guanzhong. Chain of interests, redistribution of interests in the view! Your Majesty will never suffer. ”

Liu Jian's words made Liu Xie very happy, he nodded happily and said: "The prime minister has governed Hebei for ten years, and the Hebei Commerce and Trade Association has also developed in the four states for ten years. ”

"Therefore, I believe that the prime minister will not disappoint me."

Liu Jian respectfully bowed his hand to Liu Xie and said, "Thank you Your Majesty for your trust, the minister will definitely try his best to do this for Your Majesty." ”

saw Liu Xie suddenly say again: "But don't forget, Prime Minister, there is also Liu Jin......"

Liu Jian heard Liu Xie say this, and said with a smile: "Your Majesty really values love and righteousness, can you still remember the eunuchs around you at this moment?" ”

"Liu Jin is loyal to me, and he is also old, and he also has a lot of relationship with the first emperor, I am just for the first emperor, but also for Liu Jin to seek a good family business, so that he has no worries in the future, and please be able to fulfill the prime minister."

Liu Jian nodded and said, "Your Majesty, rest assured, the minister will do his best." ”

Liu Xie and Liu Jin made their positioning quite clear, and they also knew why they were able to enter Chang'an.

Both of them also knew that Liu Jian's current power and influence in the entire Han Dynasty were far beyond Liu Xie's reach.

So when they were in Jizhou, the two of them discussed with Liu Jian, and after the two of them arrived in Chang'an, they hoped to be able to join Liu Jian, get a share of the new interest chain formed by Liu Jian, and seek a good family business for themselves and their children and grandchildren.

To put it bluntly, they just want to make money.

Liu Xie and Liu Jin are still quite smart, and they have fully understood what their position is.

In this case, as long as the two of them continue to look at the money, not only can they have no worries about food and clothing in the future, but they will also have a very easy life, and Liu Jian will definitely not treat them lightly in the future.

This is completely a way of self-preservation, compared to Liu Wei, who is ambitious and talented, although Liu Xie has made Liu Jian a little absurd emperor, but this kid is actually very smart, at least Liu Xie knows what his own position is, and he also knows which path he should take in the future, so he is still a winner in life.

After bidding farewell to Liu Xie, Liu Jian immediately got up and walked towards the outside of the palace.

When he came to the outside of the palace, he immediately saw a man with a group of small eunuchs meeting him.

There is no doubt that the person who greeted him was Liu Jin, the eunuch leader of Liu Xie.

As soon as I saw Liu Jian, I saw Liu Jin hurriedly nodding to him, and said with a smile: "The prime minister has every opportunity, pacified Guanzhong, supported the new emperor, and achieved great achievements. ”

Liu Jian waved his hand at him lightly, signaling that Liu Jin didn't need to pat his ass like this.

Afterwards, Liu Jian took a serious look at these people behind Liu Jin.

"These people you brought seem to be the same people you brought when you were in Jizhou?"

Liu Jindao: "If the prime minister doesn't arrange newcomers in the palace, how dare the old slave arrange newcomers in the palace at will?" ”

"Now that Your Majesty has just ascended the throne, the duties of the chamberlain are very important, these people take care of Your Majesty's diet and daily life on weekdays, and are also responsible for assisting Your Majesty in ruling in the Inner Palace......"

"They are all candidates who need to be safe, what kind of identity does the old slave have, how dare he arrange people in the palace at will? Naturally, everything has to be handed over to the prime minister. ”

"The personnel arrangements in the palace, although the prime minister is in charge of it, the prime minister arranges for the old slaves, and the old slaves use them."

Liu Jian nodded solemnly when he heard this, and then said: "Okay, since this is the case, then I will be disrespectful, I will arrange suitable candidates in the palace when I go back, as for how to use these people and how to support Your Majesty, it is all up to you to arrange the scheduling." ”

"The old slave must do a good job in the palace and share the worries of the prime minister."

Liu Jian said again: "Although I don't care very much about eunuchs interfering in politics, I also hope that you can grasp your identity in the future, what to do and what not to do, and have a consideration in your heart, after all, this is not the time when you were in Luoyang." ”

Liu Jin sighed: "The events of the New Year are like a lifetime, and the old slave has long been unable to remember. ”

"Good...... By the way, these people arranged in the palace in the past, you have to train them well, I know that you are very experienced in training eunuchs, especially those eunuchs who are sensible, can understand people's eyes, and can do things, I hope you can train them well. ”

"No."

When he said this, Liu Jian suddenly began to look Liu Jinlai up and down again.

This person used to be the former Zhang Rang......

When Liu Hong was alive, Zhang Rang was extremely famous in Luoyang City, although he lived in the inner palace for a long time, but there were still many people who knew him.

Now that time has passed, the older generation of courtiers should die, they should be scattered, the people in the palace have changed batch after batch, and the court has also moved from Luoyang to Chang'an, logically speaking, there should be fewer people who know Zhang Rang.

Over the years, Zhang Rang has really aged a lot, and his appearance has changed somewhat.

But Liu Jian felt that it was better for him to continue to keep a low profile.

"Zhongchang, you have to remember that you are already Liu Jin, and the original identity no longer exists in the world, although this time is not as good as it was back then, but it is difficult to guarantee that no one will still recognize you...... You should know what to do. ”

Liu Jin naturally understood what Liu Jian meant, and he hurriedly said: "The old slave will never take half a step out of the palace, so that outsiders can see the old slave at will...... The old slave can't walk anymore when he's older, but he assists His Majesty in the palace, trains and trains the little eunuchs, and he must rarely show up on weekdays. ”

Liu Jian nodded with satisfaction: "That's good." ”

……

The personnel of the inner palace, Liu Jian was all handed over to Xun Yu to deal with, and he now has a lot of things on his body, especially to deal with the Xiliang army, so all the affairs of the court and the personnel arrangements of the inner palace are all handed over to Xun Yu, who has just been promoted to Shang Shuling.

Xun Yu, who became the head of Shangshutai, will have a lot of times to deal with the emperor of the court from now on, and it is the right time to leave these things to him now.

For Liu Jian, the key at the moment is the Xiliang Army.

Liu Jian concluded that the Xiliang Army must be in trouble this time.

But Liu Jian is not afraid that the Xiliang Army will call him a battle, how many unstable factors can be eliminated in this war, and how many soldiers of the Xiliang Army can be gathered at the same time, for Liu Jian, it is the most important thing.

After the Xiliang Army arrived in Fufeng County, Liu Jian decided to recruit Dong Zhuo into Chang'an to meet with him first, and after meeting Dong Zhuo, he would then make a response to the various departments of the Xiliang Army, and you can also see what the Xiliang Army wants to do now.

After many years, Liu Jian and Dong Zhuo finally met again.

It's just that time has passed, things are people, Dong Zhuo is no longer the Dong Zhuo of the past, and Liu Jian is not the Liu Jian of the past.

This time, Liu Jian is not Dong Zhuo's Jin Yan...... He can be said to be Dong Zhuo's gold master's father.
