Volume 2 Heroes in Troubled Times Chapter 1 Danger lurks Section 31

Chapter 1 Danger Chapter 31 Ma Riyan saw Han Fu heartbroken, and his heart was also very uncomfortable, but he still reluctantly explained.

It has been one year and two months since Dong Zhuo entered Beijing, and too many things have happened during this period, one after another, which makes people overwhelmed, and there is no time to sit down and think quietly about the present and the future.

Why is this happening? Why is the collapse of the community imminent? How to save the crumbling man?

There is no answer, only one step at a time. This idea of establishing a court in Jinyang with the eldest princess in charge was originally conceived by Zhang Wen, Cui Lie, Yang Biao and Huangfu Song in Zhang Wen's study.

Later, these four people successively convened themselves and Chen Ji and other more than a dozen old ministers to plan for a long time, and there was also a fierce debate in the middle, the focus of the argument was where the imperial court was located, whether it was Jinyang in northern Xinjiang or Yecheng in Jizhou?

The old ministers led by Zhang Wen and Huangfu Song requested to be located in Jinyang, because Liu Yu and Li Hong were currently the highest-ranking ministers abroad, and this court was mainly built around the two of them.

If it is located in Jizhou, it is equivalent to squeezing Li Hong out of this court in disguise, and the main purpose of building the court will be lost.

Zhang Wen and Huang Fusong's idea was that if they wanted to quickly quell the rebellion, win over Dong, and stabilize the situation as quickly as possible, they must rely on Li Hong's strong force.

The old ministers led by Cui Lie and Yang Biao asked for Yecheng in Jizhou. If we want to put down the rebellion, fight for Dong, and stabilize the rebellion as quickly as possible, the decisive factor is money and food, not the army.

If Li Hong is loyal to the Han Dynasty and the first emperor, even if he is unwilling to do his best, he will not interfere with it for the survival of the northern frontier.

Cui Lie and Yang Biao believe that relying on the armies of various states and counties can also achieve this goal. In addition, if Li Hong had ill intentions and held the princess and the court hostage, it would be tantamount to creating a second Dong Zhuo, and the consequences would be unimaginable.

Therefore, setting up this court in Jizhou is a foolproof strategy. The two sides did not give in, and the argument was fruitless.

In the end, Zhang Wen said that we have to go to Jinyang first anyway, so we can test Li Hong first, and if Li Hong is loyal, we will set up the court in Jinyang.

He believes that Li Hong can make the right choice. After all, Dong Zhuo's current situation is here, and the lord of Xiangguo, who is a dignified Han country, only controls the five counties of Kanto and Guanzhong, and it cannot but be said that he has reached the end of the road.

If Li Hong arrogantly perverts the law, holds on to his authority, and uses the land of northern Xinjiang to counter the power of the whole country, he will not be asked what will happen.

The result of Zhang Wen's test was completely unexpected by several old ministers, and Li Hong agreed without hesitation. Moreover, he said in his letter to Zhang Wen that in addition to the military tun and the mintun, he could immediately return the military administration of the sixteen counties in northern Xinjiang to the imperial court, and he demanded that there should be no more state pastors in northern Xinjiang, and the imperial court would directly supervise the sixteen counties.

That is to say, in northern Xinjiang, there are only county-level and county-level government offices, and state-level government offices are abolished. This also avoids the possibility of Li Hong supporting his own army and separating one side, thereby holding the eldest princess and the court hostage.

Li Hong completely returned the military administration of the sixteen counties to the imperial court. Li Hong's attitude was enough to prove his loyalty, and of course the imperial court should be located in Jinyang.

Ma Riyan finally said: "Wenjie, the fate of the Han is in your hands, I implore you to make a decision as soon as possible." Liu Gong, Geng Wu, Min Chun, Li Li, Xian Pei and others sat around Han Fu and were silent.

"Tell me, what should I do in Jizhou?" Han Fu asked,

"It was originally a very good revitalization strategy, but because the imperial court was set up in Jinyang, a good thing turned into a bad thing." The imperial court was located in Jinyang, which was equivalent to being controlled by Li Hong.

Dong Zhuo's disaster is not over, but a group of ministers of the Chang'an court have created a new disaster.

Han Fu couldn't understand. If they want to save the society, since they have learned from the past, why should the ministers repeat the mistakes of the past?

The Jinyang Imperial Court was not an independent imperial court, but was separated from the Chang'an Imperial Court, and was a part of the Chang'an Imperial Court, with the main structures being the eldest princess, the eldest princess's mansion, the Taifu mansion, the hussar general's mansion and the imperial historian's mansion.

The eldest princess and the four mansions replaced the imperial court to handle state affairs, in other words, except for Han Fu and the imperial historian, there was no one in Jizhou and various prefectures and counties in this imperial court.

Jizhou and various prefectures and counties were originally subordinate to the Han court, and the officials of each prefecture were of course not qualified to ask to enter this court.

Even if he wants to enter, he is a subordinate of these four mansions, and he has become the subordinate of the eldest princess, Liu Yu and Li Hong, which is definitely not wanted.

Since there are no people from various states and counties in the Jinyang Imperial Court, and there are no people from the Dong Alliance, what is this not a decoration?

Why should we listen to Li Hong? What's the difference between this and letting us listen to Dong Zhuo? If this imperial court is located in Jizhou, it is tantamount to being controlled by the former Dong Alliance, so of course the officials of various prefectures and counties can accept it.

But now no one is willing to accept the orders of the Jinyang court, because everyone thinks that it is the court under Li Hong's control, and it is the court held hostage by Li Hong.

This is actually very understandable, if the imperial court is located in Jizhou, it is impossible for Li Hong to give up the north ** to come to Jizhou, and it is impossible for Li Hong to give up the military and political affairs of the north at that time.

The reason why Li Hong was willing to give up the military and political affairs of Northern Xinjiang was obviously to keep the eldest princess and hold the imperial court hostage.

Almost all of the Taishou of the sixteen counties in Northern Xinjiang are Li Hong's people, and the Northern Xinjiang army is all over the place, this Northern Xinjiang military and political Li Hong can take it back at any time, and it is actually the same thing whether he pays it or not.

What is difficult for Han Fu to understand is that this military administration in Northern Xinjiang was snatched from the imperial court by Li Hong last year, and now that Li Hong has handed it over, how can it become a proof of Li Hong's loyalty to the imperial court?

The Chang'an Imperial Court hoped to rely on Taifu Liu Yu to restrain Li Hong, which was simply a joke. Dong Zhuo's example is there, how did he seize power?

He was cut with a knife. If you don't give it to me, I'll kill you. The former Taifu Yuan Kui should be more powerful than the current Taifu Liu Yu, right?

The result? Yuan Kui was not defeated by Dong Zhuo's knife. Li Hong is more ferocious and vicious than Dong Zhuo. When Dong Zhuo had not yet entered Luoyang, Li Hong led the army south to threaten the Son of Heaven and the imperial court, would this kind of person give up his authority?

As for the love of the old master, it's all bullshit. What do you talk about with Li Hong? He is a slave of a Xianbei man, a barbarian, what do you talk to him about the love of the old master?

It is better to talk about the love of the old master with a leopard, than to take a knife and cut him directly. Han Fu said a lot, and the final meaning was that this opportunity must not be missed.

The eldest princess and the court must be located in Jizhou. There is a shortage of money and grain in northern Xinjiang, and the supply of Jizhou is limited, so Li Hong looks like he is about to attack Luoyang.

When he hits Luoyang, we'll talk about it again. At that time, he couldn't help but agree. As for the military and political affairs in Northern Xinjiang, he is not the same thing, and we will not take the initiative to send people to Northern Xinjiang to provoke him and seize his power.

As long as he attacks Dong Zhuo, we will provide him with some money and food. Anyway, everyone is a minister of the same palace, and they are all here to please Dong Xingguo.

Liu Gong, Geng Wu, Min Chun, and Li Li supported Han Fu's opinion, especially Liu Gong, who spoke very fiercely and lashed out at Li Hong and a group of ministers in the court.

The trial spoke out against it. The current situation is clear. The Jinyang Imperial Court wanted to build it immediately, why? After the rebellion of the Yellow Turban Army, the split of the Yuan valve, and the split between Yuan Shao and the Chang'an court, the Dong Alliance has become a scattered sand, and someone urgently needs to come forward to gather the forces of various prefectures and counties again in order to deal with the severe situation next year.

Next year, like this year, there will be the disaster of the Yellow Turban Army and the disaster of Dong Zhuo, but even more serious will be the disaster of the displaced people and the disaster of food shortage.

Therefore, all states and counties must huddle together and get through the difficulties. The establishment of the eldest princess and the Jinyang court just gave the prefectures and counties an opportunity to regroup their forces.

Winter is coming, the Yellow Turbans are going to have a truce for a while, and we can get some time to recuperate.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, we can use the Jinyang Imperial Court to reunite the forces of the various states and counties. That way, next spring, we will be able to attack the Yellow Turbans with the strongest strength.

If according to the adult's method, after Li Hong attacks Dong Zhuo, we threaten Li Hong with money and food to send the eldest princess to Jizhou, and then build the imperial court in Jizhou, then the time and opportunity will be missed.

Actually, adults are overly concerned about this matter. Li Hong and Dong Zhuo want to fight each other, Li Hong has no danger to Jizhou for the time being, and in order to alleviate the financial and food crisis in northern Xinjiang, he will not fall out with Jizhou for the distribution of power no matter what, and it has nothing to do with this imperial court temporarily located in Jinyang.

After a while, he will consciously send the eldest princess and the imperial court to Jizhou. Why? What was the main purpose of Zhang Wen and other old ministers to leave the eldest princess and the imperial court in Jinyang?

It is to restrain and weaken Li Hong's power, use his force to revitalize the community, and minimize Li Hong's harm to the society.

Li Hong is not an idiot, how could he cut his neck with a knife? How could he watch his power being seized and his subordinates scattered, step by step on the road to death?

Li Hong then thought of a way to retreat. Why did Li Hong take the initiative to give up the military and political affairs in Northern Xinjiang? He didn't want to keep the eldest princess and hold the court hostage, but to force the eldest princess and the court away.

Li Hong gave up the military administration of the sixteen counties and abolished the state-level government, what about Liu Yu? Liu Yu is in charge of affairs, he is in charge, and he can't help but take the lead in responding.

With Liu Yu's personality and the identity of the minister of the clan, he will definitely give up the military administration of Youzhou and take the initiative to abolish the Youzhou Pastoral Mansion.

So, who is left? The remaining adults, Yanzhou Mu Liu Dai and Yuzhou Mu Kong Ling. The two secretaries took the initiative to give up their respective local military and political powers, what should the three of you do?

Don't let go? Apparently impossible. release, everyone is worried that the imperial court will be controlled by Li Hong. Especially in Jizhou, once the Jizhou Pastoral Mansion was revoked, and the military administration of Jizhou was in the hands of the imperial court, Li Hong completely controlled the money and grain in Jizhou, and we could no longer restrain Li Hong, so the military and political power of Jizhou could never be released.

So what to do? Only the imperial court gave in and moved the eldest princess and the imperial court to Jizhou. When the eldest princess and the court arrived in Jizhou, Li Hong was going to quarrel again, and he would go back to the northern Xinjiang military and political leaders for various reasons.

In fact, as the adults said, whether Li Hong returns or not, this military and political government in Northern Xinjiang is his, who wants to go to Northern Xinjiang to provoke him?

The imperial court is located in Jinyang, just like the eldest princess holding a knife on Li Hong's neck, Li Hong is afraid to avoid it, how can he stay?

So don't worry about the affairs of the court, you can agree to anything, as long as you don't agree to give up the military and political power in Jizhou.

Han Fu, Liu Gong and others had to admit that the analysis was reasonable, but Li Li's words made Han Fu suspicious.

"Brother Zhengnan, the general has a life-saving grace for you, you can't help the general deceive the lord and delay the great cause of revitalizing the community." Han Fu suddenly became suspicious.

The judge said helplessly: "In this way, I will go to Hanoi on behalf of the Lord and ask Lord Yuan's opinion." Anyway, now the lord still respects the 'edict of inheritance' and obeys the dispatch of Lord Yuan. Han Fu's face became even more ugly, and he waved his hand very unhappily and said, "Then you go for a run, go and come back quickly." "Lower October, Hanoi, Huai Thanh.

The Yellow Turban Army was about to go up the mountain for the winter, and the Yellow Turban Army immediately turned to the defensive on the battlefields in various places, and the gallop connecting Jizhou and Hanoi was gradually controlled by the official army.

The trial went all the way to Huaicheng unimpeded. When Yuan Shao heard the news, he and Xu You, Guo Tu, Xun Chen and others went to the outside of the city to greet each other.

After everyone greeted each other, Yuan Shao smiled and said, "Did Zhengnan bring us any good news?" The judge shook his head,

"The good news is that the wishes of adults have been fulfilled, and the bad news is that the future of the community is bleak." Immediately, he told Zhang Wen and other old ministers in detail about the preparation of the establishment of a dynasty in Jinyang.

"The Chang'an court cleverly avoided the battle for imperial control and established a dynasty outside, which we did not expect in advance. However, the idea of reintegrating the alliance with Dong has finally been realized, which is good news for us. ”

"Looks like my knife wasn't in vain." Yuan Shao said with a smile,

"Those ministers in the Chang'an court are finally sober-minded. This method is good, and there is hope for the revitalization of social welfare. In the future, when the society is stable, we will set up a monument to the four ministers who died unjustly to thank them for their sacrifices for the Han community. Then he asked,

"Jeongnam, what did you mean when you said that the future is bleak? Do you mean me? The judge nodded,

From the time Ma Riyan walked into Yecheng, he never mentioned adults. Regarding the establishment of the dynasty, the adults are not in their sight. In other words, the Lord and the Dong Alliance have been replaced by the eldest princess and the court that is about to be established. In their eyes, the adults are just a Taishou of Bohai County. I came to Hanoi in person to ask your lordship, who is planning to be killed? Yuan Shao smiled slightly awkwardly.

The trial immediately said the opinions of Han Fu and the Jizhou government,

"I said I was going to Hanoi to ask you, and Lord Han was extremely unhappy. My lord, if the eldest princess and the imperial court move to Jizhou, your situation will ......" Yuan Shao and the others looked at each other and smiled disdainfully: "You say, how could my uncle fall in love with Han Fu?" How could you arrange him in Jizhou? ”

"Let's go, let's go back to the city." The opinions of the trial were not fully agreed with by Xu You and others. Xu You, Xin Ping, Feng Ji, Guo Tu and others thought that it was good to put the eldest princess and the imperial court in Jinyang, while Xun Chen and Chen Lin agreed with the opinion of the trial, and they thought it was better to put it in Jizhou.

But everyone has a consensus, that is, Jizhou Mu Hanfu cannot use Jizhou's money and grain to control this court and control the entire overall situation.

In recent years, the importance of Jizhou to the revitalization of Sheji is self-evident, and whoever controls Jizhou is equivalent to controlling the imperial court and controlling the authority of the state.

No matter how noble the identity of the eldest princess is, how prominent the power of Taifu Liu Yu is, and how strong the force of the hussar general Li Hong is, in the end, they all need money and food, and without money and food, it is useless to say anything.

Yuan Shao kept pacing back and forth with his hands behind his back. Xu You looked at him and asked in a low voice, "My lord, look, shouldn't you do it?" ”

"No, don't worry, it's not time yet." Yuan Shao shook his hand and said,

"We must first think clearly about how the power of the Jinyang court should be distributed, which is very important." In the past few years, we have either counterinsurgency or fighting against Dong, and we have also to prevent natural disasters**, which is equivalent to fighting on three battlefields at the same time, so if we want to stabilize the society as soon as possible, we must integrate all forces.

If the turmoil lasts too long and the foundations are destroyed, it will be even more difficult for the community to recover. The force of the hussar general is the decisive force for us to revitalize Sheji as soon as possible, so not only can we not suppress and restrain him now, but we must help him as much as possible, so that he can exert his maximum force and defeat Dong Zhuo in the shortest possible time.

Dong Zhuo's forces are only in Gyeonggi, with more than 100,000 troops, but the Yellow Turban Army is spread across three or four states, with millions of troops, and it is still intensifying.

With the decline of the imperial court and the scarcity of money and food, it is impossible for us to defeat the Yellow Turban Army as easily as we imagined a few years ago.

Therefore, we can only defeat Dong Zhuo first, and after Dong Zhuo is defeated, we will concentrate all our forces to quell the rebellion.

Based on this consideration, I think that Jizhou should help Northern Xinjiang with the greatest strength, but Han Fu is hesitant to do things, and this person must be removed.

But now to get rid of Han Fu, the resistance is too great, and you must get Li Hong's help, that is, you must get the help of the Jinyang court.

But Li Hong couldn't help me, between me and Han Fu, he preferred to choose Han Fu. What should we do?

"There is only one way, and that is to use the battle for the imperial throne to make Li Hong bear the charge of holding the princess and the Jinyang court hostage, let Li Hong become the second Dong Zhuo, and make the eldest princess and the court useless." Yuan Shao looked at everyone's surprised eyes and smiled slightly,

"In this way, the big thing can be decided." What is the battle for imperial dominance? We rebuild the imperial throne. What are the benefits of rebuilding the imperial throne?

The court in the true sense of the word can be rebuilt, with the Son of Heaven, the Three Princes, the Nine Emperors, and all the officials. From Sheji to Li Min, everyone can benefit from it, so no one will not agree.

So who will be the emperor? Taifu Liu Yu. Liu Yu is the sixth grandson of Liu Qiang, King Gong of the East China Sea, the most prestigious person in the clan, and he supports this person as the emperor, and he will definitely revitalize my Han Dynasty.

The question is, will Liu Yu agree? No. Will the eldest princess say yes? No. Will the hussar general Li Hong agree?

He was stupid. Oppose? He didn't dare. Jizhou and we all tried their best to support Liu Yu as the emperor, and Liu Yu was his old master, and he was as kind to him as a mountain.

What does he dare to say? Promise? He didn't dare? The two edicts of the first emperor are in his hands, and he dares to agree?

He just didn't speak. Okay, I'm just going to keep him from talking. Once we want to support Liu Yu as emperor, Liu Yu will definitely flee from Jinyang in a hurry.

In the future, King Qin will succeed in seeking Dong, the Son of Heaven will rule, and Liu Yu will die. Liu Yu fled Luoyang, who was in charge of the Jinyang court?

Hussar General. The eldest princess, Liu Yu, Zhang Wen, etc., including the officials of Northern Xinjiang, what did they think when the hussar general did not dare to speak?

Well, so far, the true face of the hussar general has been exposed to the world, he is Dong Zhuo's second, and he is more brutal, more vicious, and more despicable than Dong Zhuo, he not only betrayed the first emperor, but also framed his own old master, this is the hussar general of my Han Kingdom.

What happens next? The Jinyang Imperial Court was on the verge of collapse, Jizhou cut off the support of the northern frontier, and I was still the general of the cavalry of the Dong army.

At that point, the hussar general will have to talk to me. My conditions are very simple, take out Han Fu, I will be the pastor of Jizhou, I will become one of the three princes of the Jinyang court, I will act as the prime minister, and I will share the authority with the hussar general.

The Jinyang court was divided into two. I live in Jizhou and am in charge of the administration of the Han Dynasty; The hussar general lived in Jinyang and was in charge of the Han military.

The eldest princess and the eldest princess live in Jinyang. This eldest princess, who acts as an agent of state affairs, is better left to the hussar general, which can make him think of the favor of the first emperor to him every day, and let him swear allegiance to the Han Dynasty and loyalty to the Son of Heaven.

There was silence in the study. After a long time, Xun Chen asked softly: "My lord, what if the hussar general refutes it angrily?" ”

"At that time, he was in Hedong, not in Jinyang." Yuan Shao said,

"When Liu Yu arrives in Jinyang, Li Hong won't stay in Hedong, doesn't he still believe Liu Yu?"

"Will Han Fu support Liu Yu as emperor?" Xu You asked suspiciously.

"This matter, Ziyuan and Zhengnan will do it, I believe that you will have many ways, and Han Fu will happily agree." Yuan Zhao looked at him and said with a smile,

"In addition, I will send someone to tell Liu Dai, Yuan Yi, Zhang Miao, Wang Kuang and others, and I will join forces with various states and counties to play together."

"What if the Hussar General breaks with us again?"

"Impossible." Yuan Shao smiled confidently,

"If Li Hong wants to get Jizhou's money and food, and if he wants to alleviate the crisis in northern Xinjiang, he can only join forces with me, and there is no other way to do anything else."

"You have to do this in secret, don't let the news go."

"Zhengnan, you go back to Yecheng first." Yuan Shao said,

"You tell Han Fu that I, Bohai County, fully support Lord Han." The judge bowed down and agreed.

"Some time ago, I asked you to help me recruit two gentlemen, Fu Zhu and Tian Feng, how is this matter? Now that the society is in danger, how can they stay at home and read books and scriptures, and not ask about state affairs? The judge smiled: "After the New Year, the adults will send a letter to urge them, and they should come." "Yuan Shao is overjoyed,

"Okay, okay, thank you for being south." Jump to
