The trouble of ten thousand times, the minister is too heavy; The trouble of a thousand times, the left and right are too believing; This man is also in danger of the Lord's place. ------ Warring States "Han Feizi Lonely Anger"

It is said that Chen Long was invited by He Miao to get into the carriage and went all the way to Nangong. Seeing that Chen Long was respectful and gave a bribe of 10,000 taels of silver, He Miao got carried away for a while, thinking that he had a plan, and knew everything about Chen Long's problems. Before getting out of the car, He Miao said: "Wenlong, when the court meeting is over, the saint will definitely ask about your origin, you have to think about your rhetoric in advance." Long Chen nodded in agreement.

After stepping out of the carriage, the morning sun had just risen, and the morning sun shone on the glazed tiles of the palace in the distance, which was extraordinarily brilliant. Chen Long remembered the dream when he was in Lingling, and he dreamed that the first time he made a pilgrimage to the Son of Heaven, he found that Liu Qian had become the concubine of the new emperor, and was unfortunately bullied and killed by Cao Cao. Although there is nothing he can do in his dream, he can only watch his beloved wife die tragically, but in reality, he is already on an equal footing with Cao Cao, and he is a minister in the same hall, and he no longer has to worry about his relatives being killed by Cao Cao.

Thinking of this, a wave of pride arose, blood surged up in the head, and strong confidence returned to the body, filling the strong chest. Chen Long asked He Miao to wait, walked to his chariot and horse that came with him, and instructed Lu Chang, who was pretending to be a coachman: "Lu Chang, you secretly inform Zhao Da, first, let him not take the initiative to contact me for the time being, and stop activities related to eunuchs. Anyone who knew that I had been to Luoyang and had seen Mrs. Mei Niang should immediately withdraw all of them to prevent the secret investigation or even hijacking of Wu Kuang of the General's Mansion; The second is to ask him to send someone to secretly follow Xu You, and after arriving at Lingling, inform Huang Gongfu and Jiang Gongyan, manage the mouths of several big families, and deal with Xu You's investigation of my identity, especially not to let them contact Mrs. Peach Blossom. Lu Chang hurriedly agreed, and Chen Long swaggered, and under the leadership of He Miao, passed through the guards of the palace gate and entered the square inside the palace gate to wait.

There were already a lot of officials gathered in the square, chatting together in twos and threes, Cui Lie was also among them, and when he saw Chen Long coming in, he said hello from afar. When a young general saw He Miao coming in, he hurriedly stepped forward and bowed and saluted: "General He! The last general has a greeting to you! He Miao hurriedly returned the salute.

Chen Long saw that he was tall and strong, only slightly shorter than himself, but on his majestic neck was a pair of smooth chins and no beard. Wearing a general's uniform and a phoenix-winged golden helmet, the person is very ostentatious. At this time, He Miao introduced: "Wenlong, come and meet General Jian Shuo, the marshal of the Xiyuan Imperial Forest Army. ”

Chen Long was shocked in his heart, this Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty actually let the eunuchs go to the court directly among the court officials, and they were completely treated like normal people. No wonder he doesn't have a beard, it turns out to be the best martial artist among the eunuchs. Flattered on the surface, he hurriedly bowed down and said: "The general of the micro end, I have heard the name of Marshal Jian for a long time, and it is like thunder. When I see it today, I am really fortunate to be contemptible in three lives! ”

Jian Shuo suddenly stretched out his palm, Chen Long was stunned, how could there be a handshake etiquette at this time? Subconsciously stretched out his right hand and shook it with Jian Shuo, only to feel a strong force coming from Jian Shuo's palm, and hurriedly resisted, Jian Shuo's hand had been released, and laughed: "No wonder the yellow scarf is broken, it is really a tiger general!" My grip, to say the least, has 300 catties of strength, Wenlong lifts a lot of weight, and it seems that he still has spare strength. ”

He Miao was overjoyed and said: "To be recognized by Marshal Jian, Wenlong is really lucky!" Thank you yet? Chen Long hurriedly bowed down and said: "I didn't expect that Marshal Jian's martial arts are so strong, and he will be shocked by the heavens, and he will ask the marshal to take care of him in the future." ”

Thousands of clothes are worn, and Jian Shuo smiled happily: "Wenlong, at today's court meeting, your appointment will be announced." Tomorrow you will have 100,000 male soldiers, and we will all count on you to destroy Zhang Jiao! The future is limitless. ”

Outside the palace gate, suddenly the sound of carriages and horses sounded, after a commotion, a person wearing court clothes, wearing a high crown, the gold seal purple ribbon around the waist fluttering, symbolizing the supreme authority, the servants around him are like clouds, and they cross the palace gate in front of and behind. He Miao hurriedly confessed to Jian Shuo and said to Chen Long: "Wenlong, hurry up and meet my brother with me, you don't have to say much, just listen to the wind and answer." ”

Chen Long knew that it was He Jin, and hurriedly followed He Miao to salute. After He Miao finished introducing him, He Jin opened his huge eyes slightly, glanced at Chen Long and said, "My brother and you have both said it?" After that, he looked Chen Long up and down, watched his reaction, and saw that he was tall, fit, handsome, and heroic, and couldn't help but praise him from the bottom of his heart.

This sentence is a clueless question, but it reveals a hint of threat, revealing the nature of He Jin's empty eyes. Those who follow me prosper, those who oppose me die, He Jin's heart does not care about Chen Long's life or death, if it is confirmed that he is a eunuch party, he will definitely eradicate him without hesitation.

Chen Long was thinking about how to answer, and He Miao had already answered softly: "Big brother, Wenlong is a smart person, he understands as soon as he says it." He Jin nodded slightly, re-closed his eyes, no longer looked at Chen Long, and walked towards a few white-haired old men in the middle of the empty field, greeting them.

Long Chen sighed, and finally didn't have to show his loyalty in person. The officials who followed He Jin came to salute He Miao one after another, and Cao Cao and Yuan Shao were not included, thinking that their current level was not enough to participate in the emperor's court meeting.

He Miao introduced them one by one, they are all important ministers below Jiuqing, they belong to the party of relatives, and they are He Jin's wings. Chen Long saw them one by one, and it was the turn of a big man with a rough appearance, Chen Long suddenly felt a sense of danger, and He Miao said: "Wenlong, come and see General Chun Yuqiong, the captain of the Xiyuan Imperial Forest Military Academy." ”

Chen Long immediately remembered that Chun Yuqiong, who lost the black nest during the Battle of Guandu in later generations, did not expect to meet here. Although Chun Yuqiong's body is long and muscular, she walks like a civet cat, without any sound, and her internal strength is obviously pure. As Chun Yuqiong approached, the danger that Chen Long felt gradually became stronger, and he knew that this Chun Yuqiong could become the captain of the Imperial Forest Army, and he was by no means an ordinary mediocre hand; In the future, you must be careful about this person's martial arts.

The greetings have ended, in addition to Chun Yuqiong, the other thing that made Chen Long vigilant was an extremely inconspicuous-looking staff member, who was actually Li Ru and Li Wenyou, who was the Lang Zhong of Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty at the time. Li Rusheng has a pair of triangular eyes, two thin eyebrows connected together, two beards neatly cut, and the appearance is featureless, but when the triangular eyes are rolled, they are immediately shining, which makes people shudder. Chen Long is from the next generation, so he naturally knows how powerful Li Ru is, but he is not sure whether Li Ru has colluded with Dong Zhuo now.

After the group of officials arrived, the crowns were gathered for a while, and all kinds of ribbons fluttered, and there were many famous characters of all colors. The light brain in Chen Long's brain has not been idle, and he retrieved the files of these people who can be found one by one, and made a general classification of the forces they may be subordinate to at present.

The civil and military forces were divided into two sides, all of them whispered, and they did not dare to raise their voices, and there were probably dozens of people. At this time, I only heard a sharp voice from the side of the palace: "The emperor has arrived!" A small yellow door hurriedly came and shouted, "Please go to court." ”

The head of the civil officials is Situ Yuan Kui Yuan Ciyang, the uncle of Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu. The head of the military attache is the general He Jin and He Suigao. The crowd was divided into two columns, and the fish entered the temple and performed three kneels and nine bows. Chen Long followed at the end of the military attaché, painting cats and tigers along the way, praying like a sutra in his mouth, "Long live the emperor, long live, long live!" "I finally stumbled and completed the etiquette of three kneels and nine knocks.

With the voice of Zhao Zhong, the great eunuch under Emperor Han Ling: "Zhongqing is flat!" All the officials stood up one after another, and Long Chen finally got free and glanced up at Long Ting. I saw that on the wide dragon bed where Long Chen had sit, there was a young emperor sitting upright, wearing a bright yellow dragon robe that was particularly dazzling.

Chen Long saw that the officials in front of him all bowed their heads slightly, and hurriedly lowered their heads, scolding this feudal imperial power in his heart. Who wants to be under one person and above ten thousand people in front of these careerists and conspirators in front of them? Some even think directly about being above 10,000 people, that is, usurping the throne!

Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty was lustful and greedy for money, and regarded the people like pigs and dogs, so he really couldn't get his respect. At this time, Zhao Zhong's voice sounded again: "Something is coming!" Nothing to retreat from! ”

Situ Yuan Kui took the lead in bowing down and walking out of the train, and talked about some disasters and disaster relief in various places, and Emperor Han Ling, who listened, was drowsy. It said that the cities after the Yellow Turban Disaster were in urgent need of some supplies, and Emperor Han Ling interrupted: "Yuan Qing, these things, as long as you don't use my private treasury, you can dispose of them. ”

Yuan Kui seemed to be sweating a little, and said a little embarrassed: "Holy Lord, the treasury is really empty, and it can't make ends meet at all, and it can't afford to provide comprehensive disaster relief. The minister drafted a plan to increase taxes in wealthy areas, borrow the private treasury of the saint and raise the interest rate to return it, and asked the saint to look at it. As he spoke, he handed the bamboo slip to Zhao Zhong, who walked down the jade steps.

Emperor Liu Hong of the Han Dynasty took the bamboo slip and opened it, and actually yawned a lot. After a few glances at the recital, he suddenly said, "Where is the university scholar Cui Lie?" ”

Cui Lie walked out of the train and stood under the jade steps. Liu Hong saw it and announced: "The position of the three princes has not been seen for a long time, resulting in continuous disasters in various places, and the will of heaven is difficult to understand. After a pause, he said, "I have thought about it again and again, and I have made up my mind. Cui Lie, a university scholar, was knowledgeable, well aware of the righteousness, and was expected by the public, so he appointed Cui Lie as Situ to replace Yuan Kui with immediate effect, and Yuan Kui was appointed as Taifu. As he spoke, he handed Yuan Kui's bamboo slip to Cui Lie and said, "Cui Aiqing, you look at Yuan Taifu's submission, you can use it if it is available, and then make another good policy if it is not available." ”

Yuan Kui thanked him in embarrassment, took the opportunity to wipe the cold sweat on his head when he kowtowed, got up and retreated into the train. Cui Lie kowtowed and thanked Tian's grace, took the bamboo slips handed by Zhao Zhong, and retreated into the train with joy, standing at the head of Wenchen.

Seeing that the appointment of the third duke was so hasty, Chen Long couldn't help but secretly laugh, thinking that Cui Lie's five million money had already arrived in the emperor's personal account, so Cui Lie's position as Situ could be honored in court. Buying and selling officials are so blatant, even the position of the third prince is clearly marked, and it is also one of the most bizarre of all emperors.

The general He Jin Shi Ran walked out of the train, bowed down and said: "Shengshang, I recently received a side report that the Yellow Turban has not been settled, and the rebellion of Xiliang Bianzhang and Han Sui has risen again, and I still ask the emperor to decide?" ”

Liu Hong's well-maintained white face twitched, and he was taken aback and said, "Is this serious?" What are the details? ”

He Jinyu said: "The side newspaper said that the Qiang people Beigong Boyu rebelled in the previous month, and engaged Bian Zhang, who was then the overseer of Liangzhou, and Liangzhou as Han Sui, took him hostage, and refused to return it. The rebels attacked Jincheng County, killed Chen Yi, the Taishou of Jincheng County, coerced Bian Zhang and Han Sui to join the gang, and elected Bian Zhang as the leader. Bian Zhang led the army to surround the prefecture and Ji County, and Han Sui led tens of thousands of cavalry to invade the three Qin regions such as Jingzhao, Zuo Fengyi, and Right Fufeng, and the cemetery of the first emperor of Chang'an was in danger. ”

When Emperor Ling of Han heard this, his brows furrowed, and he asked: "The cemetery of the first emperor is related to the number of great Han qi, what is the good plan of the general?" ”

He Jin said: "Shengshang, the minister has thought twice, the generals available to the imperial court, only Huangfu Song has won a series of battles, and can be the opponent of Han Sui and Bian Zhang, you can send someone to replace Huangfu Song, immediately lead the troops of the headquarters, merge the soldiers and horses of Chang'an, and go out of Liangzhou to quell the rebellion." ”

When Emperor Ling of Han heard that he was going to replace Huangfu Song, who was attacking the Yellow Turban, he couldn't help but hesitate a little, and then Sikong Zhang Wen and Zhang Boshen came out of the class and said: "The general's words are very good. However, it is difficult for Huangfu Song to support alone, and it is better to send a few generals who are familiar with the local area to assist him. ”

He Jin continued: "Dong Zhuo, the former general of Dongzhonglang, once served as the captain of Xiliang, and he was skilled in bows and horses, and he was particularly familiar with the geography of Xiliang. Although he was convicted of attacking and killing Zhang Bao, he could be convicted of meritorious service when he was employed. Please also ask the Holy One to decide. ”

Emperor Han Ling nodded, and ordered Zhao Zhong to draft an edict according to the candidates recommended by He Jin, and promulgate it tomorrow. He Jin said again: "Xu Xuan, the assassin of Jingzhou, was attacked by the Yellow Turban thieves in Wancheng because he was not on guard, causing the thief chief to flee and almost break through Jiangling. Fortunately, the thieves fled to Lingling and were defeated by Lingling Taishou Chen Long in one fell swoop. Now Xu Xuan has been detained in Luoyang, waiting for the fate of the saint. ”

Emperor Han Ling finally remembered Chen Long's paragraph, and when he heard that the Yellow Turban was defeated by Chen Long, he seemed to have promised him some kind of official. called Zhao Zhong and asked in a low voice, "Then Chen Long, what kind of official did I promise him that day?" ”

Zhao Zhong hurriedly replied: "Rebel general, wait for the south." When everyone arrived, they stood at His Highness. Emperor Han Ling was stunned and said: "Such a big official, he was promised to him for nothing?" It's a million dollars to get it from me. ”

Zhao Zhongqiang held back a smile and said, "You Jinkou Yuyan, Jinkou Yuyan." Emperor Han Ling felt distressed that one million dollars had been thrown away in vain, and he sighed and said: "Xu Xuan's extermination of the Yellow Turban is unfavorable, and the soldiers will be defeated, and he will be removed from the position of Jingzhou Assassin from now on, and handed over to the division for questioning." He said to Zhao Zhong again: "Xuan Chenlong came forward to meet him." ”

When Zhao Zhong heard this, he was in the middle of it, and the shrill voice instantly resounded in the hall: "Xuan Lingling is too guarded by Chen Long, come forward to meet you!" ”
