Taifu Yuan Kui has lost a lot of weight, his cheeks are sunken, his cheekbones are prominent, his sideburns and beard are gray, and his spirit is also very tired, but his eyes are still bright, and he looks wise and confident. ∮ Yanmoxuan ∮ no advertisements∮ Li Wei performed the gift of a disciple, bowed respectfully and respectfully, and then accompanied him slowly in the garden with He Hao.

It's winter, and the garden is full of dead leaves.

Yuan Kui carefully inquired about the situation in Tuntian in northern Xinjiang, especially in the Hetao area and Changshan and Zhongshan in northwestern Hebei. The tuntian in these two places has a direct bearing on the resettlement of the disaster victims and the garrison of the frontier, and is the most important task in resolving the crisis in northern Xinjiang.

"The main reason for calling you to Luoyang is to explain to the general of the Che Cavalry through you the imperial court's request to withdraw troops and garrison Hanbei County." Yuan Kui brushed his beard and said, "Whether it is Lord Taiwei, me, Lord Huang, or Lord Yang, the purpose is the same, that is, I hope to preserve the strength of the Northern Xinjiang Army, firmly control the Northern Xinjiang, and establish an unbreakable barrier for the future stability and rejuvenation of the Great Han Kingdom." ”

Yuan Kui turned his head to look at Li Wei, whose expression was extremely respectful, and a hint of appreciation and affection flashed in his eyes, "Zhong Yuan, you just came from Lord Taiwei, I guess Lord Taiwei has said a lot to you, and I won't say more, you better return to Hedong as soon as possible." In addition, there is one more thing, which is the matter of the Hedong Wei valve. Hedong Wei has a prominent family background and a deep relationship with the royal family, which you should know very well. His Majesty already knew about the matter of Hedong, and he told us twice in private, hoping that the general would not go too far. The Hedong Wei Valve made a lot of efforts and helped a lot in the early Tuntian of Northern Xinjiang, although some things were overdone, but they did not seriously violate the laws of the Han Dynasty, so are you doing it in moderation......"

Li Wei hurriedly said: "Your Excellency, please rest assured, after I return to Hedong, I will immediately make an appointment with the head of the Wei Valve family to clarify the misunderstanding between us. How to do it or how to do it, and make sure not to cause trouble to adults. ”

Yuan Kui nodded with satisfaction, "The matter in Luoyang has been a bit troublesome recently, but it will not affect the food and salary of the army in Northern Xinjiang, let alone Tuntian in Northern Xinjiang. As long as the northern Xinjiang can be stabilized, even if Luoyang is a little chaotic, it will not be able to shake the foundation of the Han Dynasty. This point, please Zhong Yuan must make it clear to the general of the chariot cavalry. ”

Li Wei comprehended and said in a low voice: "After this battle, the Northern Xinjiang army has not to mention its own losses, and it is very difficult to garrison Hanbei County, garrison the border fortress and the desert, and the food and salary cannot be maintained. Recently, our top priority is to control Hanbei County, stabilize the Hu tribes in the desert, and provide relief and resettlement to the victims. What's more, the general of the chariot once made a promise to the Son of Heaven and the imperial court that without His Majesty's holy decree, he would never go south and cross the Great Wall, so the lord can be completely assured. ”

Yuan Kui smiled, his eyes full of doubt. Li Wei hesitated for a moment, and then said: "Although the general and the captain are both famous generals and important ministers of our Han Dynasty, compared to them, the general of the cavalry is more of a loyal warrior. Otherwise, he would not have insisted on an expedition to the desert. Although the expedition to the desert greatly damaged the national strength of the Han Dynasty, it also brought stability to the northern Xinjiang for a long time, and also trapped the general of the chariot and cavalry and the armies of the northern Xinjiang into the desert for a long time. The reason why the general did this was not only to be loyal to the Han Dynasty, but more importantly, to alleviate the suspicion and suspicion of the Son of Heaven and the imperial court. If the general has the authority, he will be able to enter Luoyang in July, so please be sure to understand the hardships of the general and the difficulties in northern Xinjiang. ”

Yuan Kui reached out and patted Li Wei's back, and sighed softly, "Zhong Yuan, people will change." ”

Seeing Li Wei's tall back disappear at the gate of the courtyard in a hurry, Yuan Kui sighed again, "This child is still too young. Once a concern becomes a scourge, it is too late. To get rid of hidden worries, we can only shed a little blood and sweat, but to get rid of the evil, we will have to pay ten times and a hundred times the blood and sweat, and even the entire society. Look at the disaster of Wang Mang, the disaster of Liang Yi, and the disaster of eunuchs, which one did not make the Great Han Kingdom crumbling and dying, and the danger of the country and society hung between the threads? If we, the descendants, can't learn the lessons of our predecessors, and have to repeat the mistakes of the past, and let the lives be miserable, how long can my Han Han survive? Is this splendid river and mountain still the world of my big man? ”

"When I was young, just like Zhong Yuan is now, I always saw the present and couldn't think of the future. If there is no disaster of the party, I will not think that the eunuch is the first to curse the country." He Hao sighed, "People change. When Zhao Zhong and Zhang Rang participated in the killing of Liang Yi, they must have been full of the heart to serve the country, and they were fearless even if they died, but what happened later? Later, they themselves acted perversely, and instead became the ministers of my Han Dynasty's greatest calamity. People will change, and today's Dong Zhuo will be more domineering than the general Liang Yi tomorrow, and he will become a victim of the country. Only by preventing problems before they happen can we ensure that the country has no long-term worries, otherwise what is there to talk about revitalizing the Han Dynasty? ”

"Just because of the crime of his concubine of the first emperor, you can kill him a hundred times, and if this person doesn't kill him, he will die in the future." Yuan Kui waved his hand and said, "Time must be rushed, this matter must be solved before the Chinese New Year." Recently, he has frequently invited the powerful men in Beijing to have a small feast on three days and a big feast on five days. After a long time, some people will be like Xu Xiang and Fan Ling, for the sake of glory and wealth, they will not hesitate to abandon their integrity and take refuge in the first place, acting for the tiger and harming the Han. If Dong Zhuo has a full wing and sits firmly in Luoyang, it will repeat the disaster of Liang Yi back then, and it will be difficult for us to reach the sky if we want to kill him again. ”

"Has Gongwei received the holy decree? When to go? Yuan Kui asked.

"Brother Gongwei has received the holy decree of the Son of Heaven." He Hao said, "The Son of Heaven worships him as the right general, holds the Jieyue, and leads 10,000 northern troops to Hanoi to quell the rebellion. Brother Gongwei said that tomorrow he would go to the camp of the Pingxing Northern Army to set up troops and go north the day after tomorrow. ”

"All the letters were given to him?"

"It's all given." He Hao said, "I gave him all the letters that the adults wrote to Liu Yu, Lu Zhi, Han Fu, Liu He and Yuan Shao. Gongwei said that after arriving in Hanoi, he handed it over to Wang Kuang, who sent his henchmen to various places. ”

"I can only rest assured if I hand it over to Gongwei." Yuan Kui said, "These letters must not fall into the hands of Dong Zhuo, especially the letter to Liu He. ”

He Hao pondered for a long time and asked in a low voice: "My lord, the current situation in Luoyang is still under our control, and it should be under our control in the future, why do you want to use the princess's move?" The general was already stuck in the desert and could not move. If he wants to go south to support Dong Zhuo, first of all, the problem of food and salary for the army cannot be solved, and he can't even afford to fight a battle of 10,000 people now, let alone lead the iron cavalry south. ”

"In the future?" Yuan Kui looked at a small withered tree in front of him, and frowned, "Will we really be able to control the situation in the future?" Dong Zhuo himself is a fierce man, and he also has capable people under him, if there is such a sudden thing as suing the order again, we may not be able to control the overall situation. If he hadn't been rescued by the order before, Dong Zhuo would have been forced to leave now. ”

"Emperor Xian was a very smart man. Cai Yong was full of praise back then, and once thought he was a genius. If there is no eunuch, the first emperor should be a good emperor. The first emperor asked the princess to leave Luoyang before his death, which must have a deep meaning. Since we who are fools as courtiers can't know the thoughts of the first emperor, we have no choice but to obey the last orders of the first emperor. ”

"Your Excellency is too worried. Now that the treasury is empty, the food and salary of the army in northern Xinjiang will be exhausted. And the Gyeonggi army had no more money to pay, and at this time they had to go to Hanoi to fight. Imagine what tricks Dong Zhuo could conjure up besides digging his grave as soon as possible? He Hao said disdainfully, "Our strength is enough to control the situation." ”

"At present, General Huangfu's army of 20,000 is in Huaili in Fufeng. At the beginning, he had recruited 10,000 troops, and it was estimated that there would be at least 20,000 by the end of the year, and he also sent people to Yingchuan, Runan and other places to gather friends, and recruited a large number of scholars, and his strength was very considerable. The road is also good, and he recruited 10,000 horses in the Nanyang area as a general. In addition, Jizhou Mu Han Fu, Yanzhou Mu Liu Dai, Yuzhou Mu Kong Ling, Qingzhou Thorn Shi Jiaohe, Jingzhou Thorn Shi Wang Rui each had 10,000 horses, Hanoi Taishou Wang Kuang, Dongjun Taishou Qiao Mao, Chen Liutai Shou Zhang Miao, Jibei Xiang Bao Xin, Shanyang Taishou Yuan Yi, Guangling Taishou Zhang Chao, Nanyang Taishou Zhang Zhi, Yingchuan Taishou Li Yu, Chen Guoxiang Xu Ling each had 5,000 men and horses. ”

"If Lord Liu Yu is willing to send troops, his Gongsun Chan and Tian Kai can bring out at least 10,000 horses. There is also Xihe Taishou Cui Jun. Master Cui replied that due to the special situation in northern Xinjiang, he had no way to send troops to help, but he could raise the flag with Lord Yang Qi and Lord Guo Yun in Jinyang to support and deter Dong Zhuo. Lord Zhang Miao wrote that Cao Cao was selling his wealth at home and gathering soldiers and horses, and there were about two or three thousand people, and if the time was right, he would invite Cao Cao to send troops to help. ”

"What about Xuzhou Thorn Shi Taoqian? Has he never heard back? ”

"Nope. Listening to Yuan's reply, Lord Yuan said that Tao Qian was busy helping the victims and could not find anyone. I don't think anyone can find anyone to be fake, and the shirk is true. He Hao sneered, "In the future, after the adults take control of Luoyang, some people should go home to retire." ”

Yuan Kui shook his hand and said, "Boqiu, here's the problem." Why is Tao Qian unwilling to send troops to help? ”

He Hao frowned and said: "Reason, we have no reason to send troops, this is also what we urgently need to do now." Without righteousness, who would dare to risk becoming a rebel of the Han Dynasty and send troops to coerce Luoyang? At present, Dong Zhuo's culpability is not enough, abolishing the Young Emperor is one, killing the Queen Mother is one, ordering the army to go on an expedition to the desert is one thing, and issuing an edict is one, but it seems that it is not enough. These things can't arouse the anger of the people in the world yet, and we still need to let Dong Zhuo dig a bigger grave for himself. ”

"Not only do we not have enough righteousness, but we also lack unity from top to bottom, which is probably the thing that Tao Qian is most optimistic about, and it is also the one thing I am most worried about, and it is also one thing that may affect the overall situation in the future." Yuan Kui said worriedly, "There is a contradiction between the gate valve clans, this is inevitable. Especially after driving Dong Zhuo to Xiliang, I, Yuan Valve, will inevitably control the authority, which is what other gate valves do not want to see. When it matters, will they turn against each other? Now almost all the officers from all over the country who are willing to send troops are my Yuan Valve's people, some of them are Yuan Valve's relatives, and some are Yuan Valve's former protégés. But have you noticed, some of these people are the old ones of my Yuan Valve's previous generation, some are Yuan Peng's people, some are Yuan Feng's people, some are my people, and some are even close friends of the original and highway, so can these people send troops at the same time according to our strategy? Can we work together after sending troops? What is the attitude of officials elsewhere on this matter? This is something we can't predict, and once something goes wrong, the move to coerce Luoyang may be abandoned halfway. After all, Dong Zhuo has an army of 100,000 people, controls the Son of Heaven and authority, can dominate the world, and his strength cannot be underestimated. ”

He Hao suddenly woke up. "It turns out that the adults have already made up their minds, and the lower officials are ashamed."

"Boqiu, our purpose is only to force Dong Zhuo away and let him hand over his authority, not to attack Luoyang and cause chaos in the world." Yuan Kui said, "In July, the general of the chariot cavalry led his troops south to threaten the Son of Heaven and the imperial court, why didn't there be a fight? Why did the imperial court finally agree to the request of the general of the chariot cavalry, it was because neither the general nor the imperial court had the intention of fighting. But this time is different, Dong Zhuo is not He Jin, and the army besieging Gyeonggi is not speaking with one voice, once the fight starts, our Han Sheji is bound to be overturned, and we will become sinners through the ages. ”

"The first emperor left a testament and sent the princess to Hejian Kingdom, which is actually equivalent to leaving a life for my Han Dynasty." Yuan Kui looked up to the sky and sighed, "At a critical time, it is necessary to rely on this leopard to stabilize the society with the power of thunder." ”

Zhang Cheng hurried into the garden.

Zhang Cheng is in his thirties, with a white face and a short beard, a wide forehead, and an anxious expression. He is the son of Zhang Yan, a former lieutenant.

"Master Taifu, Lord Shangshu Zhou has an urgent book for me to deliver."

Yuan Kui motioned to He Hao to take it apart and take a look at it first. Shang Shu Zhou's urgent book, is there something urgent happening in the court?

"Did Gongyi go to Taixue today?"

Zhang Cheng bowed and replied: "My brother made an appointment with a group of friends in the morning, and it is estimated that he is now debating with the doctors of Taixue." ”

Gongyi is Zhang Yan's eldest son Zhang Fan, a famous man in Hedong, who has never been subject to the expropriation of the Three Princes' Mansion. Yuan Kui wanted to marry his daughter to him, but he didn't pay attention to it and refused. After his father Zhang Yan was castrated to death, he blocked Zhao Zhong on the street and scolded him, saying that Zhao Zhong was dead and was not far from death. This really happened to him.

"My lord, Taixue has been very chaotic recently, the famous scholars and scholars in Beijing and the students are noisy all day long, and the debate is endless, if it goes on like this, something will happen sooner or later." Zhang Cheng asked in a low voice, "Why did your lord go to the imperial court to propose the establishment of a doctor of ancient scriptures?" Could it be that ancient scriptures can also be taught in Taixue? ”

"Why not?" Yuan Kui said with a smile, "Your grandfather Situ Zhang Xin, your father Taiwei Zhang Yan, and your three brothers, aren't they all learning ancient scriptures?" ”

"My younger brother Zhang Zhao is not, he is studying Jinwenjing, and my father is very angry about it." Zhang Cheng said.

"This is also normal, my brother Yuan Cheng, who died at an early age, learned the Jinwenjing, and today's Dasi Nong Yuan Peng also learned the Jinwenjing." Yuan Kui shook his head and said with emotion, "Sikong Yang Biao learns the ancient scriptures, but his brother Yang Qi learns the modern scriptures. My wife-in-law and uncle often studied the ancient scriptures, but my wife studied the modern scriptures. In fact, whether it is a family of gate valves, or Taixue and schools around the world, the people who study the ancient scriptures and the modern scriptures are almost the same. Mr. Zheng Xuan of Beihai is proficient in ancient scriptures and modern scriptures, and he believes that both should be paid equal attention to one over the other, and one cannot be favored over the other, so I think that the imperial court should face up to the reality, and Taixue should also set up a doctor of ancient scriptures. His Excellency also agrees with my proposal, and is currently discussing the matter with the ministers, and it is estimated that the results will be obtained soon. ”

"If the Son of Heaven aims to set up a doctor of ancient scriptures in Taixue, the people of the world will definitely quarrel." Zhang Cheng said with a smile.

"Lord Taiwei has asked the Son of Heaven to recruit Cai Yong, Xun Shuang, Zheng Xuan, Shen Tufan, Xu Shao, Bian Rang, Wang Qian, Hu Zhao, Wang Lie, Handan Chun and other celebrities to serve in Beijing or to Taixue to serve as a doctor of ancient scriptures." Yuan Kui said, "Mr. Cai, Mr. Zheng, Mr. Shentu, and Mr. Xu are coming, are the Jingzhong scholars going crazy about it......

"Really?" Zhang Cheng's eyebrows fluttered suddenly, and he asked excitedly and loudly, "Is this true?" My lord, the capital is lively, and it must be very lively during the Chinese New Year this year. ”

After reading the letter, He Hao shook his head again and again.

Zhang Cheng knew that Master Taifu and He Hao had important matters to discuss, so he hurriedly said goodbye and left.

"Dong Zhuo is in a hurry, he wants to be Xiangguo." He Hao sneered, "My lord, do you know that in addition to the prime minister, there is also the position of prime minister in this dynasty?" ”

"Sangkook?" Yuan Kui was not shocked and smiled, "This Dong fat man is really interesting. Last time, he couldn't arrange Liu Yu, so he set up a big Sima as the secretary, and as a result, there were four ministers of the three princes in the Han Kingdom. Now he can't violate the law and reset the post of prime minister, so he set up a new position called Xiangguo, haha......"

"Lord Zhou said that Dong Zhuo summoned the ministers of Shangshutai to discuss the rights and responsibilities of the country, and Lord Xu Jing and Sima Fang, the ruler of the imperial history (in charge of the law), were also there." He Hao said, "It seems that Dong Zhuo intends to completely seize power, bypass Taifu and Sangong, and directly implement the policy of increasing endowment." ”

"It's a good thing, this shows that Dong Zhuo is gradually on the road. He wants to rush time, and we have to rush for time. Yuan Kui said with a smile, "Just send him to the throne in one step, outside the Xiangguo, and then praise and worship the nameless, enter the dynasty and do not tend, and go to the palace with a sword." ”

"In this way, the crime of disrupting the rules, bullying the king, and arrogant and arrogant is confirmed." He Hao handed the silk book in his hand to Yuan Kui and said in a low voice, "My lord, this is a good method. ”

Yuan Kui was in a much better mood, and he said with a smile: "This saves us a lot of trouble." Tomorrow, we will all go to Taixue and make a big noise, so Dong Zhuo can't help but agree. Isn't it just a matter of setting up a few doctors of scripture? Is it that difficult? ”

"In this way, Dong Zhuo has committed another serious crime, and he has also offended countless scholars in the world." He Hao laughed.

In mid-November, Luoyang.

The Son of Heaven decreed that Dong Zhuo should be worshiped as the prime minister of the Han Dynasty, praise and worship the nameless, enter the dynasty without trending, go to the palace with a sword, and respect the favor.
