Chapter 57: The Thoughts of the Parties

The next day, the will of Emperor Liu Hong of the Han Dynasty was conveyed. At the same time, a series of appointments were also issued.

Amnesty for the party, dismissal of the party, the distribution of the party members in the frontier can return to their hometowns, no one is allowed to hunt down the party, and those with outstanding ability can be appointed as officials.

The ministers and ministers must donate military supplies for the soldiers to prepare for war.

Set up a special agency to investigate and prosecute corrupt officials, regardless of official position or background, and if it is true, they will be immediately punished.

Officials recommend talented people, and once hired, they should be rewarded.

He Jin, the elder brother of Empress Lingsi, was transferred back to Beijing by Yin of Henan, and appointed him as a general, leading the five battalions of the Yulin Army to be stationed in Duting, repairing and casting equipment to defend the Beijing Division.

Lu Zhi served as the general of the Northern Zhonglang, and led the deputy general to lead the five colonels of the Northern Army.

Although the official position of the Zhonglang general is not high, Lu Zhi has a good relationship with those scholars, and he is also hoping to repair the relationship with the party members when he is mentioned as the general of the North Zhonglang.

Huangfu Song served as the left middle general, Zhu Jun served as the right middle lang general, and the two of them each led an army to control the five schools, the Three Rivers Knights and the elite soldiers recruited by them to crusade against the Yellow Turban thieves.

When the order was issued, everyone didn't expect that Emperor Ling would really pardon the party members, and they were all wondering if it was Emperor Ling's idea.

When this news came out, it can be said that some people are happy and some are worried.

Naturally, those who are loyal to the Han family and want the Han family to get better and better, they know what is good and what is bad.

And the worry is that it was the eunuchs and relatives, who caused the disaster of the party at the beginning, but they caused it single-handedly.

Now that Emperor Ling has issued an edict, they naturally have to rein in, who knows what will happen at this time, what the consequences will be.

……

In one room, five people knelt on each side of the room, and two were in the first place.

These twelve people all wore crowns and official uniforms, and their complexions were slightly feminine.

The two leaders were there, and the old god was there, and the man on the left tapped his fingers on the desk in front of him.

Among the five people on the right below, one of them is Han Kui, and it can be imagined that the twelve people who include Han Kui here are the ten permanent attendants.

Sitting in the first seat were Zhang Rang and Zhao Zhong.

"What does the Emperor mean by this? He even lifted the party's shackles, and he didn't even consult with us. ”

It was Sun Zhang who spoke, and he was on Zhang Rang's side. Among the ten permanent servants, there is still a ranking, and he is the third. In addition to Zhang Rang and Zhao Zhong, it is also his highest status. Seeing that Zhang Rang and Zhao Zhong didn't speak for a long time, he came to this point.

And from his words, it can also be heard that the Spirit Emperor Liu Hong ordered that he still need to consult with them.

Hearing Sun Zhang's words, Han Kui said: "When I was in the court yesterday, Huangfu Song also said that the party was lifted, but the emperor didn't mean to agree at that time, what happened later?" ”

All of a sudden, the following people discussed what was going on.

Zhang Rang opened his eyes, and a hoarse voice sounded.

"Alright."

Two simple words came out of his mouth, and the people present instantly fell silent, and they all looked sideways at him.

Clearing his throat, Zhang Rang continued: "Did Lu Qiang tell him, or did he take the initiative to find Lu Qiang." ”

Zhang Rang's words made everyone present stunned, and they didn't expect that the emperor would take the initiative to find Lu Qiang.

It was not that Lu Qiang had not given direct advice before, but they were all denied by Emperor Ling, one was that Lu Qiang spoke too directly, and the other was that those reforms were harmful to their own interests in their eyes.

Seeing that everyone was pondering and thinking about something, Zhang Rang knocked on the table.

"The emperor told us that now the Yellow Turban Thieves are in trouble everywhere, and he wants to calm down quickly, so he didn't discuss with us. The most important thing is also the matter of lifting the party's shackles, and he knows that if he consults with us, he will definitely not agree, so he makes his own opinion. ”

Although Zhang Rang's tone was very plain, it could be heard that he was very dissatisfied with Emperor Liu Hong's decision.

After being silent for a while, Zhang Rang continued: "Since he has already given the order, let's also restrain a little. ”

Although they are all reluctant, as Zhang Rang said, they have already given an order, and they still have to be more restrained. Even if you want to do something, you can't be as blatant as it is between them.

"Then what will Lu Qiang do in the future?"

It was Guo Sheng who spoke, and as soon as he said this, the faces of several people were a little strange.

This Lu Qiang is the same eunuch as them, and he has obviously been named the marquis of the capital by Emperor Ling, so he has to pretend to be high and let Emperor Ling take back his fate. pulled him into the gang, but said that he disdained to be in the company of himself and others.

"Since he wants to do something for this Han family, let him do it first. For example, there are yellow turban thieves everywhere today, and when the situation is stable, our family will find a way to treat him well. ”

In their eyes, as long as they are not on the same path, they are their enemies. Emperor Liu Hong of the Han Dynasty said, "Zhang Shilang is like his father, and Zhao Shilang is like his mother." What else do you have to be afraid of? What is the situation in this world, what does it have to do with them, delay their own interests, and the result can not be blamed on others.

"In this way, it will be more annoying for Zhao Changzhi to worry about."

"Don't forget to tell all of your relatives to be more restrained, otherwise you won't know until you die."

……

In another place, Lu Zhi, Zhu Jun and Huangfu Song gathered together to drink. The three of them talked about the boredom in their hearts at the wine table, and it seemed that they had been promoted, but it was not an easy task to send troops to recruit the Yellow Turban thieves.

But when Lu Zhi returned to the court, both of them were happy for him.

"Congratulations to Brother Lu for returning to the court!"

Lu Zhi raised his glass and said, "You're welcome, you're welcome!" ”

"It's an honor for Song to be able to go on the expedition with Brother Lu again."

"Well said, well said!"

Zhu Jun and Huangfu Song were very polite to Lu Zhi, Lu Zhi was a famous Confucian general, and he was erudite and talented, and many people in the scholar family respected him very much. They also know that His Majesty asked Lu Zhi to be a general in Beizhong, mainly because he wanted to repair the relationship, and since the party was lifted, there must still be some action.

"It's righteous, I heard that you asked Your Majesty to remove the party from the party in the court yesterday, you really dare to say it, but I didn't expect Your Majesty to really do this, which is also a good thing."

Huangfu Song took a mouthful of food and put it in his mouth, and said with a wry smile: "Brother Lu, don't make fun of me, then you should also know that Han Kui's eunuch and I had an argument in the court yesterday, do you think Your Majesty will really listen to me?" Han Kui didn't let His Majesty cut off my head on the spot, that's all right. I heard that it was Lu Hansheng's advice to His Majesty, and I don't know what he said about His Majesty. ”

This Lu Hansheng is also Lu Qiang, and they naturally know it, and in their hearts, only Lu Qiang can be regarded as a clear stream in this official eunuch.

"I don't know if these ten permanent servants will retaliate against him afterwards."

Seeing Huangfu Song say this, Zhu Jun and Lu Zhi's expressions changed slightly.

The main thing is that the ten permanent servants control the government all the year round, and Emperor Ling still listens to them very much, and I don't know what Emperor Ling thinks.

"I hope that when the time comes, if we can help, let's help."

As for why they didn't call He Jin to come along, it was because they didn't look down on He Jin at all.

A person born as a butcher, if it weren't for Queen Lingsi, could he have today's position?

is also an official general, but the result is just to defend the Beijing division and repair and cast equipment, which is a person.

Zhu Jun took a sip of wine and said: "This He Jin is the queen's brother and becomes a general?" Your Majesty is really able to send out an idle general. ”

Lu Zhi patted him on the shoulder, "You can be quiet, this is to say in front of our brothers, if this is heard by others, I promise to stab you to Your Majesty." “

Sighing, Lu Zhi continued: "Who calls someone else the eldest brother of the Spirit Emperor, the equipment behind this still has to be cultivated by him, and it is better to offend him less." ”

After the three of them finished drinking, they also discussed the plan to send troops.

The troops obtained by Lu Zhi were the most elite, not only the five battalions of soldiers in the forbidden army, but also the clan members of the Shi clan, so he planned to go directly north to Jizhou to pursue the leader of the Yellow Turban Thieves.

Huangfu Song and Zhu Jun are comparable to Lu Zhi's strength because of the total number of troops allocated to them, although some of the soldiers of the fifth battalion of the forbidden army are assigned to them, but they don't want Lu Zhi and the clan members of the clan to participate, and in the position of deputy general, it is much worse.

Therefore, the two of them planned to go south together to pacify Yuzhou first, and if the enemy they encountered was too strong, they could also take care of each other.

They only know that the other side is causing wars in various places and capturing cities, but they don't know what their strength is, but in general, these people under their own hands are definitely not enough, and they can only take one step at a time.

After this was finalized, the next few days waited for the elite troops to gather from all over the city, and arranged for the troops that had been mobilized to belong to them to gather outside the city.

And the Yellow Turban Qu Marshal everywhere is happy with the victory he has won during this time.

It is mainly because the place they captured did not have many garrisons, and it was not where the family was located.

You must know that these families have hoarded their own troops, and the local officials dare not say much, so there are not many garrisons under their hands.

But the troops under these families only dare to defend their own forces, otherwise letting the emperor know that he has so many soldiers in his hands will inevitably make him feel that he has different thoughts.

But Emperor Liu Hong really doesn't know?

'Zhang Jiao' looked at the battle reports sent back from all over the table on the table, and he was also very happy in his heart, he didn't expect to get such a result, if he made great progress all the way, he felt that it was only a matter of time before he won the Jingshi.

The adjutant general looked at the happy 'Zhang Jiao' and said, "My lord." ”

'Zhang Jiao's face turned pale, "How many times have you said it, call me the sect leader." ”

The adjutant general had no choice but to follow him and say, "Sect Master, although the commanders in various places have won big or small victories, do we really not have to interfere with them?" Now it's just that the imperial court has not sent troops. ”

This fake 'Zhang Jiao' actually only knows the art of divination, and it would be too difficult for him to transfer troops to command, so the people behind him arranged for him a deputy general who knew how to arrange troops.

But he feels that there is no need for this for the time being, and it is good to play freely while the momentum is in progress. Moreover, those Qu Shuai knew that they were fake Zhang Jiao, and if they really wanted to mobilize them, except for some people who arranged them by themselves would listen to their own words, and the others would only follow their own ideas.

Immediately, he told his adjutant general what he thought.

The deputy general felt that it was better to notify first, at least the people arranged by his side should be mobilized to avoid accidents, and as for some other people, just like 'Zhang Jiao' said, they should not listen to them.

"It's okay, if the imperial court really sends troops, we will send people to support, so that we can win the hearts of these people. And I don't believe that the imperial court can attack all places at the same time. ”

The deputy general glanced at 'Zhang Jiao' unexpectedly, he didn't expect him to have such an idea, and he actually wanted to win people's hearts, it seems that he really underestimated this person.
