Chapter 209: Zhu Jun plots
The spring of the second year of Jian'an (the third year of Chuping). Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć info Luoyang Tianzi Dynasty will be over, and he will stay in Zhu Jun's palace to deal with it. The Son of Heaven said Zhu Jun: "Since Dong thieves rebelled against the world, the mountains and rivers have lost their color, and the princes have abused their power. The two emperors stood side by side, and the prestige of my Han family was gone. Today, Henan is ruined, and Luoyang is in decline. I want to raise troops to the west, sweep away the Dong thieves, make the four seas unified again, and order out of the center. The public is loyal and righteous, and he moves the world with his military ability, and Dong thieves are also deeply jealous. I want to use the public as a general and lead the army to fight the thief, how about it? ā
The Son of Heaven is getting older, and seeing that he is now the emperor, he is not as rich as when he was the prince before. I can't help but feel aggrieved. The treasury is often in a hurry, the palace is huge, and the number of maids and maids is reduced again and again. Even Yuan Shao, the queen mother and the powerful family who abandoned Liu Bei and wanted to rely on as a helper, the head of the ministers actually fled from Luoyang and went to rob Han Fu's Jizhou. As soon as Yuan Shao left, he led another wave of undetermined people to leave. If it weren't for the support of a group of courtiers who are dedicated to the Han Dynasty, this court would have dispersed a long time ago. The Son of Heaven thought of Yuan Shao at this time, and wished that Yuan Shao would die in Jizhou.
When he was alone, the Son of Heaven was also thinking, why is this happening? After thinking about it, I feel that since Dong Zhuo entered Beijing, the world will be chaotic. At that time, even if his father didn't like him, but the elder system was the ancestral family law, didn't he successfully ascend the throne with the support of the ministers? If it weren't for the fact that Dong Thief messed with the government and abolished the establishment without authorization, causing dissatisfaction among the princes of the world, how could the situation be like this? When he thinks of this, the Son of Heaven will smile proudly. After all, you're the orthodox lord of the world, aren't you? Otherwise, when he was usurped, why did all the princes of the world rise up against it? The people's hearts are looking forward to me! It's a pity that the big war together, although the Dong thief was driven away, but the princes also had ambitions. Just look at those state pastors, how many of them still have me in their eyes today? Not to mention the excuse of arrears in taxes, it is difficult for me to appoint a county magistrate now. What is the meaning of such a titular son of heaven doing it? still has to be like his father, as soon as Chrysostom opens, everything is followed. A little anger, the world shook. This is the majesty and momentum that the Son of Heaven should have. You must work hard to change this situation, otherwise, you will not be willing to die!
When Zhu Jun heard the Son of Heaven say this, he couldn't help but be excited. I thought, after all, the young man still wants to make a difference. This gloomy court should also make changes. So Zhu Jun bowed and said, "The old minister is afraid. Your Majesty is ambitious, and the world has a lot to do. It's just that the Luoyang Forbidden Army was recruited after the chaos, and there are few people, so I am afraid that it is not the enemy of Dong Thief. The minister is old and decaying, and he is unusable, and the old minister guarantees to His Majesty that he will raise a person to ride on the car, if His Majesty gets this person, the world can turn his palm. ā
Zhu Jun is one of the few remaining famous generals of the Han Dynasty. Zhu Jun leveled the state, set the yellow scarf, and made great achievements. At that time, the Son of Heaven was still young, and he basically grew up listening to Zhu Jun's deeds. It is conceivable that Zhu Jun's status in the heart of the Son of Heaven can be imagined. Therefore, when the Son of Heaven heard Zhu Jun say this, he couldn't help but be interested and said with a smile: "Yizhen was trapped by Dong Thief, and Lu Shangshu abandoned his official position and went into hiding." In the world, who else dares to compare with the public? "The three famous generals of the late Han Dynasty, Huangfu Song, Zhu Jun, and Lu Zhi. Huangfu Song had a grudge against Dong Zhuo and was taken captive by him to Chang'an, and Lu Zhi abandoned his official position early and returned to his hometown. It was the Son of Heaven who asked.
Zhu Jun smiled, stroked his white beard, shook his head and said, "Your Majesty praises falsely." I have a large number of talents, looking at the world, I don't know how many people are outstanding. Only talking about leading the army to fight, and the person who personally mentioned a division and dominated the world was none other than Liu Xuande. Your Majesty, Xuande is loyal, proficient in military affairs, and has made special contributions in the Yellow Turban and Dong Thief Rebellion, and is also a member of the Han Dynasty. In the opinion of the old minister, who else should he be responsible for riding the car?
I heard that Xuande was in Qingzhou, striking yellow turbans, exterminating bandits, gathering displaced people, persuading farming, and instructing. Qingzhou is as stable as gold, and the people are gradually returning to their hearts. In the old years, Xuande was the first person among the princes to send tribute, which shows his loyalty.
If His Majesty makes Xuande a chariot, the old minister is willing to be his deputy. When the time comes, the elite of Qingzhou and the material resources of Qingzhou may not be impossible to destroy the Dong thief! And Youzhou Gongsun Zhan, Dongjun Cao Mengde, etc., are all friendly with Xuande, if the soldiers of the two families are reunited, great things can be done! ā
Zhu Jun thought to himself, Xu Liu Bei took the position of a general of the chariot cavalry, raised troops to the west to attack Dong thieves, and at the same time, consumed the strength of Qingzhou, killing two birds with one stone. For example, today the child is weak, but the place is always strong. This branch is strong and weak, and it cannot last long, otherwise it will suffer. Although Liu Bei has the heart of subordination, it is also good to take precautions. Drive Liu Bei to fight Dong thief, no matter who wins or loses, it is the Son of Heaven who will always benefit. If Liu Bei wins, the majesty of the imperial court will be greatly increased. If Liu Bei loses, it won't be a big deal, will it be worse than now? Besides, will Liu Bei be defeated?
Zhu Jun looked at the world with anticipation, waiting for the Son of Heaven Chrysostom to say it accurately. However, after the time of a pillar of incense, the face of the Son of Heaven, who was still immature and menstruating, was still tangled.
The emperor thought about it, but he didn't recommend Liu Bei to Zhu Jun to him. Liu Bei is famous, but he just doesn't want to hear this name again. The emperor still owes Liu Bei in his heart. If Liu Bei hadn't rescued him back then, maybe he and the Queen Mother would have been killed by Dong Thief. However, with Liu Bei's world-class exploits in rescuing him, the queen mother abandoned him after being safe, and chose Yuan Shao to be the support of the Han court and the imperial family. And Liu Bei was not rewarded. The position of Qingzhou pastor is still held by Yuan Shaobao.
I also asked the queen mother at the beginning, and the queen mother answered clearly at that time, and I still remember it clearly: "Emperor, since ancient times, there is nothing greater than saving the driver." Liu Bei's credit is very great, but the greater the credit, the more we can't use him. Otherwise, with its rescue skills, the tigers and wolves, if they are arrogant, they may be the second Dong thief, who can be the enemy at that time?
Yuan Benchu, the hairpin of the past dynasties, after the family, his family is the fourth generation and the third duke. However, I watched Yuan Shao, although he traveled extensively, he was not good at commanding the army. The people who come and go are all famous scholars and Confucian scholars. Now that my heavenly family is weak, these people are just right for us. If Liu Bei is used, there will be no seal, no reward, what can I do about it? Emperor, the way of employing people lies in balance, your father used eunuchs to resist the party, and foreign relatives to deter border generals, this is balance, remember to remember. ā
At that time, I didn't understand it, but the name Liu Bei, this person, I was a little guilty after all. As a result, I gradually stopped paying attention to it and no longer wanted to hear others mention it. It's a pity that some people, placed anywhere, are able to stand out. Liu Bei is. For more than a year, Liu Bei made a great disturbance in Qingzhou, which was appreciated by the courtiers. I also thought about transferring Liu Bei to the center, especially after Yuan Shao left Beijing, this idea became more and more popular. It's a pity that when discussing with the queen mother, the queen mother vetoed it: "Your Majesty, the stronger Liu Bei's ability, the more unusable it is." Who can guarantee that there were no complaints in his heart at the beginning? I heard that Liu Bei is in Qingzhou, training homeless people and thieves, Qingzhou is peaceful, what is he doing with so many soldiers? Hmph, its ambition is not small! A word, like a pour of cold water, completely extinguished this thought of oneself. It's a pity that such a capable minister can't be used by me.
The emperor thought about it, and suddenly came back to his senses, and saw that his trusted old minister Zhu Jun was still standing at the bottom of the steps, his tiger eyes were shining, full of anticipation. The emperor couldn't help but feel guilty and uneasy in his heart. Zhu Gongwei is dedicated to the world, but he is thinking about some messy things. So the emperor rubbed his brows and replied: "Duke Zhu, this matter is very important, I want to go back to the palace to discuss with the Queen Mother, and then reply to Duke Zhu?" ā
Zhu Jun was anxious in his heart, took a step forward, and said urgently: "Your Majesty! "What is it necessary to discuss such a military matter with the women of the deep palace?
The emperor was afraid that Zhu Jun would be entangled, so he took advantage of the situation to get up, waved his sleeves, and said: "This matter is so decided, Zhu Gong, it's not too early, I will go to Yong'an Palace to ask for peace first." You go back first. And when he had finished speaking, he went to the back of the hall.
Zhu Jun looked at the back of the Son of Heaven, full of hatred, and wanted to scream a few times to vent the depression in his heart. The Son of Heaven has Lingyunzhi, but he has no decision, so relying on the women of the deep palace is so ambitious, what can he do? In the end, Zhu Jun shook his head extremely lonely, Your Majesty, Your Majesty, the old minister can really only help you get here.
Zhu Jun sighed, stop it, the plan is in the people, and the success is in the sky. He stomped his feet hard and went straight out of the palace.
Sure enough, once the matter was put on hold, there was no movement. Zhu Jun was anxious, and after a few days, he begged to see the Son of Heaven alone. When he arrived at the side hall, Zhu Jun saluted and asked the Son of Heaven: "Your Majesty, what is the Queen Mother's intention about the things discussed a few days ago?" ā
The emperor was silent for a long time, sighed, and said, "The Queen Mother is not allowed." ā
Zhu Jun's heart was cold from head to foot, and he wanted to ask again, but he opened his mouth dryly, not knowing what to say. In my heart, I have mixed tastes. When the Son of Heaven saw Zhu Jun like this, he also knew that he had broken the heart of the old minister, so he hurriedly soothed: "The queen mother's intention, this matter is important and cannot be decided lightly." Under the will of the Queen Mother, it is still the head of Zhu Gong to take charge of this matter......"
Zhu Jun'an listened quietly, but he didn't say anything, just bowed, touched the ground with his forehead, and said, "Your Majesty has a life, won't the old minister die?" ā
After Zhu Jun left, the emperor remembered the conversation between himself and his mother. "What? Worship Liu Bei as the general of the chariot cavalry, and lead the army to the west to seek Dong? Your Majesty, this must not be done! ā
"The weight of riding a car should not be lightly allowed if it is not a relative or an important minister. Liu Bei has become the state pastor, and then he takes the position of the chariot and rides, and is in charge of the military and government of a state. ā
When the emperor saw that his mother was angry, he wanted to defend himself, but when the Empress Dowager He saw this, she couldn't help but sneer and said, "Your Majesty, have you thought about it, if Liu Bei goes west and destroys Dong thief, how will you treat him then?" ā
Without thinking, the emperor said: "With such a feat, when the marquis worships the general, with Liu Bei's talent, he will be allowed to be a general or the position of the third duke, and the same record of Shangshu affairs, what about it?" ā
Empress Dowager He smiled and said: "Wow, the general and the third prince in their early thirties, ranked in the Taiwan Cabinet, in charge of national politics, and the country has been in power for hundreds of years, have you ever seen it?" ā
As soon as these words came out, the emperor's face changed. No matter how young he is, he also knows that if Liu Bei is not unexpected, he will be a proper minister after decades of ministers. I can hold him down when I am there, but what about my son? Isn't that what Dong Zhuo is like? When his father was there, he was unruly, and as soon as his father was gone, he raised an army and caused chaos and scourge the world.
The emperor was thinking about it, and then he heard the Queen Mother say slowly: "Chang'an, but there is still a Son of Heaven, if Liu Bei kills the Dong thief and holds your brother hostage, how will you stay?" ā
This sentence was like a cold wind in three winters, which made the emperor's heart and liver hurt, so he completely extinguished Liu Bei's thoughts of transferring Liu Bei to Beijing.
And Liu Bei didn't know that he was almost counted in Beijing by Zhu Jun. He was holding a feast in the palace and entertaining his ministers. Lu Heng and Luo Yeke are both pregnant, and he will add Ding to his knees, and he is overjoyed, so he naturally wants to have a big drink.
