The imperial capital of Luoyang.

Just when the war and chaos had just been quelled and the state was waiting to be rebuilt, the imperial capital of the Han Dynasty was a different lively scene!

After His Majesty wants to establish a new one, the entire Imperial Palace Forbidden City and even the entire Luoyang will be busy.

The royal ceremonies are the most solemn, and for this reason, the newly promoted eunuchs in the palace have broken their legs, of course, because the rewards thrown by His Majesty are really tempting......

Liu Hong, as a party, doesn't actually need to do anything, but he is still very busy.

In order not to make the newly promoted eunuchs suspicious, he began to quietly return to the secret room of the West Garden after nightfall to "work".

However, Liu Hong was sure that this was his last time in the secret room, and when he returned to the board of directors of Huaxing Palace again, it would be the day when he completely ended his dormancy and had a real showdown with the scholar doctor!

Liu Hong sat on the dragon chair in the secret room and finished reading a secret recital, nodded, and asked Wang Yue who was standing aside:

"Song Qing hasn't arrived yet?"

Speaking of people close to Liu Hong's henchmen, in addition to Wang Yue and Shi A, Song Dian is barely one.

is very different from Liu Hong, who gave up on himself in another time and space, Zhang Rang, Zhao Zhong and others, in this time and space, he has always used the eunuch party as a pawn to fight against the scholars, but Song Dian is an exception.

Liu Hong needed to install a confidant of his own within the eunuch party before, so as to keep abreast of the movements of these more than ten permanent attendants, and Song Dian was the person he chose.

Although there are only three of the ten permanent attendants left, there is still some residual warmth.

After all, Liu Hong tried his best to keep Zhang Rang and his right to take charge of Shangshutai at the court meeting, but Zhang Rang was a little afraid and retreated after this party dispute, so he still needed Song Dian to secretly monitor.

In addition, Liu Hong also needs some eunuchs to really serve him, and he has been used to it over the years......

"The old slave came one step too late to deceive the other eunuchs, and I hope Your Majesty will forgive your sins!"

As soon as Liu Hong mentioned Song Dian, the old guy appeared, and when he walked into the secret room, he knelt down and pleaded guilty.

"Not guilty, not guilty, Song Qing please."

Liu Hong waved his hand to signal Song Dian to get up, and then asked:

"What's the news from Husband Zhang and Husband Li?"

"The old slave found out that the two of them had secretly sent the clansmen's family members out of the city in batches according to His Majesty's promise, but the old slave didn't know, did he need to explore the places where he refuted?"

After Song Dian finished speaking, he subconsciously looked at Liu Hong and asked.

"No need, these two are cautious people, and it would be inappropriate if they were discovered."

Liu Hong shook his head.

After Zhang Rang and Li Song all fell, they had thoroughly understood Liu Hong's layout and their identity as chess pieces that would be abandoned at any time, so they also resigned.

However, his plan has just begun, and he can't let them leave just yet, in order to calm the hearts of the two, Liu Hong promised to keep them alive no matter what happens in the future, and let them secretly settle their families first in case of accidents.

In this way, even if Liu Hong can't keep the two of them by breaking his promise, he won't even be able to protect their families, and the property left behind is enough for their relatives to be rich for the rest of their lives......

However, what really reassured Liu Hong was Shi A and Song Dian's separate surveillance in the light and dark.

"Whoa."

When Song Dian got the reply, he stopped talking.

This is a habit he has always developed by Liu Hong's side, don't ask what shouldn't be asked, and don't do it again after asking what he can't do.

"Based on Song Qing's observation, the new Little Yellow Gate, Yellow Gate Order, etc., can there be people who can be used?"

Liu Hong asked again.

"The old slave thinks that Zhang Tingzhi, Wang Jia, Fei Luan, and Du Tao are quite talented, loyal and brave, and they can be used......"

Song Dian replied without thinking about it, these were all explained by Liu Hong in advance, and he naturally had already investigated it clearly.

Liu Hong listened to the names of the four people and turned to look at Shi A on the side, and when he saw that the other party bowed slightly, he knew that Shi A also recognized it, after all, Shi A is now also in charge of the supervision of the people in the palace.

"I know, after the end of the ceremony, let's reward the four people......"

"Whoa"

"In that case, Song Qing should step aside, and the scholars in the capital can continue to investigate."

"Your Majesty, the old slave will not be dishonored."

————

After Song Dian left, Liu Hong had to see one more person, and it was also the person who came in through the secret passage on the other side of the secret room from outside the palace.

"Your Majesty, do you really want to meet Captain Duan here?"

Before the other party arrived, Wang Yue asked.

After all, although Duan Cheng can lead troops, his reputation is not very good, and his mind is unpredictable, Wang Yue feels that it is still a bit risky to let him know His Majesty's plan at this time.

"Well, just for this person's record, it is also worth me to have a heart-to-heart relationship with him, and now my Han is surrounded by strong enemies, and if there is chaos, such talents are urgently needed!"

Duan Cheng can be regarded as a trump card of the Han Dynasty against the Hu people in the north, although the strength of the Qiang people in the north in this time and space is not as good as before, and Xianbei has been bowing down to the subordinates until the age of last year.

But his only record is still very impressive, previously in Liangzhou, Duan Cheng has put down the Qiang rebellion several times, and all of them are complete victories with fewer victories and very little losses on their own.

What's more, Duan Cheng loves ancient studies, is good at writing articles, and has the talent to govern places, which can be regarded as both civil and military.

Liu Hong is also very fond of such talents, so he is ready to make an exception to reveal his plans and dishes in exchange for the other party's sincere assistance.

"The old minister knocked on His Majesty, and he could see the holy face here, and the old minister was really terrified......

After a while, Duan Cheng followed Wang Yue's disciple into the secret room from the other side, and when he saw Liu Hong, he hurriedly knelt down and saluted.

"Duan Aiqing, please hurry up, I see the captain here to hide people's eyes, it's really a last resort......"

When Liu Hong saw Duan Cheng kneeling, he immediately got up and helped him up, and began to explain very politely.

In order to show sincerity, Liu Hong got straight to the point, and when he came up, he informed Duan Cheng of his plans for many years, and mentioned several strong enemies who were currently surrounding the Han Dynasty.

"This ...... This is really God bless the Han, Your Majesty has been so dormant for more than ten years, why worry that the Han family can't be prosperous! A little thief, the old minister should sweep it away for His Majesty! ”

At this time, Duan Cheng was the same as Zhang Wen when he was the protector of the Western Regions, and he was speechless when he heard that Liu Hong had been hiding and dormant for more than ten years, and he was so shocked that he could not speak......

He also thought that the monstrous power of the Ten Standing Servants was Liu Hong's sincere instruction, so he also bent his knees to the eunuch party in order to protect Mingzhe's life.

Now I know that this is all a deliberate act by His Majesty to cover up people's eyes......

"Duan Aiqing knows what I have been planning for many years, is he willing to help me?"

Liu Hong asked with a smile.

"Since it is for the sake of the Han Dynasty, dare not to die for His Majesty?"

Duan Cheng did not hesitate.

"If you want to help me, you have to give up a lot, but the captain has to think clearly."

Liu Hong still reminded with a smile.

The reason why he attached so much importance to this meeting and showed enough sincerity was that he hoped that Duan Cheng would give up, which was also the basis for him to rest assured that he would hand over the military power to the other party in the future.

"The old minister is terrified, I don't know what to give up, and I ask Your Majesty to make it clear that the old minister will never be stingy!"

Duan Cheng expressed his determination, and cold sweat broke out on his back.

At this time, he saw very clearly that His Majesty had informed him of the full plan, and if he still hid something, it was very possible for him to die in the secret room......

Liu Hong still had a somewhat mad smile on his face and didn't speak, but Wang Yue on the side came out to explain.

Liu Hong was willing to summon Duan Cheng at the risk of his plan being leaked, in addition to his civil and military skills and extremely strong military command ability, it was because his family background was not very strong, and there was a possibility of persuading him to give up.

Although the Wuwei Duan clan is barely considered a county, it is a county in the frontier, not only is it difficult to be accepted by other Central Plains clans, but the strength of the control is not too strong, and it is also divided into six branches, which is not a great threat to the local area.

But the fact that the threat is not big now does not mean that there will be no changes after Duan Cheng takes charge of the army, so Liu Hong must explain to him before this and point out his bottom line.

If you wait until the other party has made a great achievement, the difficulty will increase by several levels!

In addition, Liu Hong also needs Duan Cheng to work with the Xun clan to become a model for the Great Han clan to limit itself.

"With such a sacrifice, is Duan Aiqing willing to ......?"
