Chapter 113: Soldiers Sent to Liangzhou
When the book arrived at the imperial court, the emperor was furious and wanted to sit on Liu Bei's slander. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 infoYang Ci, Lu Zhi and others persuaded him. Cao Cao, Sun Jian and others went up one after another, pleading for Liu Bei, and there were many grievances between the words.
The emperor also knew that he was not doing this kindly. The people who really worked hard to fight to the death in front of them were rarely rewarded, and they were close to their close servants, so it was inevitable that they would have resentment in their hearts. Liu Bei didn't say anything, one side was handsome, and in the end, he only sealed the marquis of Duting. And Sun Jian, Cao Cao, Fu Xie and others who have made a lot of meritorious contributions are only promoted. If they can't get the knighthood, why should Zhang Rang and the others be?
Forget it, Liu Bei is also a clan, so he won't bother with him, and he will be reprimanded. If you really want to cure his crimes, Liu Bei has a great reputation and a strong temper, and it will not be good if something bad happens. Although the emperor was not afraid, he also knew that his world could no longer suffer from the toss of the Yellow Turban Uprising.
Liu Bei received the edict of the emperor's reprimand and did not say anything. He knew that if the emperor insisted on going his own way, no one could stop him. Unless it is Zhang Rang and other eunuchs. His opposition was just to vent the resentment in his heart. After venting, what should I do or what should I do.
On this day, Liu Bei sat down with Xun Yu to talk. Liu Bei said: "Wen Ruo, if there is chaos today, Liangzhou is a crime." I was ordered to guard Jingzhou, and now the remnants of the Yellow Turbans in Jingzhou and other places have been suppressed or surrendered, and the rest have disappeared, and nothing has been captured for several months. I would like to ask for an order for the generals to enter Liangzhou and serve the country. What does Wen Ruo think? ”
Xun Yu has been in Jingzhou for a long time, and when he saw that Liu Bei's armaments were neat, the soldiers he commanded, and the military discipline was strict, he knew that Liu Bei was strict with the army, and he planned to use force to defeat the unsubordinate in order to clear the world. Where is there any reason to disagree, and immediately smiled: "Lord, a certain person has this intention." The athletes in our army have been fighting for a long time, and the lord can ask His Majesty to fight. ”
So Liu Bei wrote to the imperial court and asked the emperor for an order, wanting to lead the army into Liangzhou to quell the rebellion.
First of all, Zhang Rang and others heard that Liu Bei opposed their marquis, and they were angry in their hearts, but they discussed, this Liu Bei Lao can't get along with them, why?
yes, why? Everyone discussed and discussed, and found that in addition to Liu Bei, many generals who had led troops in the Yellow Turban Rebellion seemed to oppose them. So everyone thinks, is it not that they are not against their own marquis, but they feel that they themselves have not received a certain reward, which is unfair?
So someone asked, is it okay to give them some benefits? But the premise is not to come to them in the future. It just so happened that there was a rumor in Jingshi that Fu Xie, the Lang Lang, accompanied the left chariot cavalry general Huangfu Song and others to conquer the Yellow Turban, and made special achievements but did not seal the marquis, which disappointed the people of the world.
So as soon as the eunuch was done, a representative, Zhao Yan, the younger brother of Zhao Zhong, the captain of the city gate, went to meet Fu Xie, and said: "With your prestige and ability, as long as you don't interfere in the affairs of the Zhongchang service in the future, it will not be difficult to be the Marquis of Wanhu." ”
Fu Xie suppressed the anger in his heart, and refused sternly: "I am not a marquis, it's just a bad fate." I will definitely not compromise with the eunuch and then ask for an official in private. ”
Zhao Yan returned in a huff, and then told his brother Zhao Zhong. Zhao Zhong was furious, and discussed with Zhang Rang and others, feeling that he couldn't let them feel that Zhongchang was a bully, and he wanted to give them some color.
It just so happened that Cao Cao offended a large number of people in Jinan. They saw Cao Cao vigorously developing education, supporting agriculture, and strictly enforcing law and order in Jinan. I thought I couldn't let you brush up on your political achievements like this. Let's move somewhere. So Cao Cao was requisitioned back as the Taishou of Dongjun. Cao Cao was furious, in his heart, Jinan Xiang and Dongjun Taishou didn't matter, as long as they could do things. Anyway, it's an official position of 2,000 stones. But you transferred me to half of the things you worked so hard for, what do you mean? So he pleaded several times to stay in office, but to no avail. Cao Cao had no choice but to sigh and reluctantly leave Jinan. Here, all the traces he left behind, his uncontested career, will it continue after he leaves?
Fu Xie is a speaker in the court, likes to discuss politics, and what he says often hit the nail on the head. Zhang Rang and the others felt that they couldn't let this guy stay in Jingshi, so let's get it away and get it farther. Well, isn't he against abandoning Liangzhou? It seems that he has a deep affection for Liangzhou, and if you look at it again, yo, he is still a native of Liangzhou! Well, it's up to you. It just so happens that there is a war going on in Liangzhou, so you go and serve the people of Liangzhou. So Fu Xie was transferred and worshiped as the Taishou of Hanyang County, Liangzhou.
Sun Jian, well, far away in the Liangzhou Huangfu Song army, forget it. Let him fend for himself there, otherwise will he be transferred back to Beijing?
The last one is Liu Bei, this person, Zhong Chang and the others have a headache. Liu Bei has the aura of a celebrity, and after being a member of the clan, he has sharp teeth and a sharp mouth, and he fights fiercely. The eunuchs are not afraid, they don't know how many celebrities have been framed. But Liu Bei, a celebrity, is different from others, others have a good face and regain their reputation. Although Liu Bei is the same, he tends to be more practical, that is, pragmatism. Moreover, Liu Bei is full of scheming, and he likes to plan before acting. Therefore, the general means of dealing with the party members and the former Taiwei Chen Fan are useless to Liu Bei.
Arrest Liu Bei to Jingshi, I don't know if he can still beat him up. When he first wrote the book, he didn't make him suffer, but let him write "Song of Righteousness" in prison, achieving his prestige at this time. Besides, Liu Bei is not an ordinary scholar, he followed Shangshu Lu Zhi to quell the rebellion when he was a teenager, and he has been trained in the army for many years, and there are many heroes attached to him. If you provoke him, although you won't rebel, you can send a few masters or disciples in the army to make a few tricks against you, no problem, right?
Of course, these are all random speculations by Zhang Rang and others, after all, Liu Bei's past achievements are there. Cao Jie and Wang Fu, the former middle school attendants, couldn't help Liu Bei, how could they not pay attention to it in their hearts? Besides, they can fool the emperor into doing whatever he wants, but arresting a meritorious minister for no reason, and then naming up the crime, even the emperor does not dare to do nonsense. So Zhang Rang and others sadly found that without the support of the courtiers, they could not do many things......
For Liu Bei's self-recommendation to go to Liangzhou, the emperor was still very happy. There are loyal courtiers who are willing to serve his empire, and he is not a fool, how can he not like it?
However, Zhang Rang and the others temporarily suppressed it, and they said to the emperor: "Your Majesty, although Liu Bei is a loyal and upright minister, he is proud of his reputation and intelligence, and he is unruly. It's better to press it for the time being and sharpen his patience. ”
When the emperor heard this, he immediately said, "Okay." ”
How much does the emperor trust Zhang Rang and others? At the beginning, the emperor built a golden hall and put all the money he earned in it. Then he bought a field house in his hometown and built a temple. The emperor's branch is not well mixed. His cousins and nephews are all princes, and only he is a marquis. When I was a child, I was poor and afraid, and when I became the emperor, I found that the emperor could do this. So I often sigh that the first emperor is useless and doesn't know how to make money. The emperor made money and handed it over to Zhang Rang and others for safekeeping, and often said in the inner court: "Zhang Changshi is my father, and Zhao Changshi is my mother." ”
Zhang asked Zhao Zhong to wait for the emperor to be so favored, so what else was there to fear, he only felt that the emperor was the eldest and they were the second, so he was unscrupulous and fearless. In Beijing, he bought and sold strongly, annexed the fields and mansions, and then used the emperor's money to build many mansions, which was about the same luxury as the palace where the emperor lived. At that time, the emperor liked to climb high and look far away in Yong'an Palace to express his feelings. Zhang Rang and the others panicked, for fear that the emperor would see that their house was violated, so they said to the emperor: "The Son of Heaven should not ascend, and if he ascends, the people will be scattered." The emperor even believed it, and from then on he did not dare to regain the throne.
And so on and so forth. It can be said that the emperor is basically obedient to Zhongchang's words. Zhang Rang and others said to press it, and he immediately pressed it. completely ignored the dire situation in Liangzhou, and the people's grievances were boiling.
Zhang asked them to say that they wanted to press it, but they were actually entangled, Liu Bei was so capable of fighting, if he was allowed to go to Liangzhou and make new contributions, what would he do then? Isn't this cultivating enemies for yourself? Isn't that stupid?
In the end, it was Zhao Zhong who said: "No matter how proficient Liu Bei is in military affairs, how can he compare to Huangfu Yizhen?" Huangfu Yizhen is a veteran, and he will be planted in the past dynasties. Liu Bei's prestige and experience are not as good as Huangfu Yizhen. Huangfu Yizhen can't defeat the rebels in Liangzhou, what can Liu Bei do if he goes? In this case, what should we be afraid of? ”
Zhang Rang listened, yes, it makes sense, why didn't we think of it? So he agreed with Zhao Zhong's theory. Forget it, let's let Liu Bei go to Liangzhou to toss, the soldiers are fierce and dangerous, the Qiang people are arrogant, and if you don't do it, Liu Bei will die on the front line. Zhang Rang thought happily in his heart, and then walked briskly to see the emperor, let the emperor give an edict, and Liu Bei led the army into the cold.
Seeing that Zhang Rang's attitude had changed so quickly, the emperor couldn't help but wonder: "Didn't Qing say to grind Liu Bei's patience, why did he change his hexagram again?" ”
Zhang Rangbai said: "Your Majesty, the old slave thinks about it, but he still feels that the military situation in Liangzhou is urgent, and it is the best policy to let Liu Bei lead the troops to save Liangzhou quickly." And Liu Bei is the master of an army, and he must not consume the sharpness of his body, which is not conducive to the military. Not good for the country. ”
The emperor was so moved that he didn't know what to do, he was really my good love, wholeheartedly, for the sake of me and my world. So he passed on the order and rewarded Zhang Rang with 100 catties of gold and 500 horses of silk.
Here Liu Bei got the edict, so he gathered all the generals, raised the army, and went all the way to Liangzhou.
However, it was said that Huangfu Song, the general of the left chariot cavalry, was in Sanfu, defeated Beigong Boyu, and then held on to it for several months. so that they do not dare to invade the garden mausoleum. is planning a strategy to force the rebels to retreat to Liangzhou. But a messenger from the Son of Heaven came, dismissed him from his position, and relieved him to return to Liangshi.
But it turned out that Huangfu Song attacked Zhang Jiao last year, passing through Yecheng. found that the house of Zhao Zhong's hometown was illegally overbuilt, so he reported it to the emperor. As a result, the emperor asked people to check and found that it was true, so he confiscated Zhao Zhong's house. And because Huangfu Song broke Zhang Jiao and obtained countless money, he handed over most of it to the imperial court, and the rest was given to his soldiers as military expenses. Zhang Rang's eyes were red, thinking that Huangfu Song had made a fortune, and he didn't know how much he had hidden. So he privately asked Huangfu Song for 50 million money. Where is Huangfu Song? couldn't hand it over, so Zhang Rang held a grudge.
It's just that at that time, when the country was in turmoil and the court was employing people, it endured it. Endure until now, seeing that Liu Bei has gone to Liangzhou with all his army, then Huangfu Song can clean up.
So Zhang Rang united with Zhao Zhong to play Huangfu Song's long-term battle in vain, wasting the country's money in vain. Now that Liu Bei has gone to Liangzhou, his military skills are not weaker than Huangfu Song, and he can dismiss Huangfu Song's army.
So the emperor recalled Huang Fu Song, took his left car to ride the general seal ribbon, at the beginning, Huang Fu Song because of the pacification of the Yellow Turban, sealed Huai Lihou, 8,000 households. Therefore, there was no military exploits, and he took 6,000 households from his food estate, changed the title of the capital township, and ate 2,000 households.
If Liu Bei knew that he had become a pawn in the hands of Zhang Rang and others to fight Huangfu Song, I don't know how he would feel.
