", or search in Baidu: Sanlian Literature Network] Chapter 10 Wind and Rain Chapter 18 He Jin played the Empress Dowager, saying that the country is now in turmoil and wars, and it is necessary to immediately expand the Northern Army to cope with more and more conquests.

Empress Dowager He consulted the lieutenants. The lieutenants unanimously objected. If the Northern Army expands, He Jin's strength will increase dramatically, which will be a disaster for the lieutenants, and of course they will not agree.

Zhao Zhong said angrily that the general ignored the authority of the Son of Heaven and the Empress Dowager, privately ordered the troops to surround the Hussar General's Palace, detained the Che Cavalry General for no reason, and used this to coerce the Empress Dowager to agree to him to recruit troops and expand the army.

Zhang Rang also persuaded that if the Empress Dowager succumbs to the threat of the general, it will help the arrogance of the general, and in the future, he will hold tens of thousands of male soldiers in Gyeonggi, where is there a place in the world for the Son of Heaven to talk to the Empress Dowager?

Duan Jue was a little angry, he knelt on the ground and played: "Queen Mother, today the general can surround the Hussar General's Mansion and detain the Che Cavalry General, then tomorrow the General can rush into the palace to kill the lieutenant and imprison the Son of Heaven and the Queen Mother." From the minister's point of view, since the general does not miss the affection of flesh and blood, why should the queen mother be soft? The minister begged the queen mother to give an order, and immediately did his best to surround the Baijun Mansion with the Xiyuan army, and seized the general's military power to prevent future troubles. The fat on Zhao Zhong's face shook a few times, and he stopped talking.

Zhang Rang frowned and glared at Duan Jue and scolded in a low voice: "You are dizzy, what time is it now?" How can a general be relieved of his military power by force? Luoyang is in chaos, can the Northern Xinjiang War be fought? Do you want the country? The generals and the ministers of the court are now worried that they have no chance to solve us, aren't you killing yourself? Do you think you can still control the West Park Army in chaos? Are you idiots? Duan Jue snorted twice angrily and did not speak.

Empress Dowager He sat there angry and anxious. The Son of Heaven has just succeeded to the throne, and his brother not only did not help, but in order to seize power, he made Luoyang into a mess, and now he is even more lawless, and even his own brother has been arrested, how can he get it like this.

The lieutenants scolded all the time, and no one could come up with a solution. Empress Dowager He was very anxious, and hurriedly announced that Yuan Kui, Situ Dinggong and Sikong Liu Hong entered the palace to discuss matters.

Although Yuan Kui and He Jin were both affiliated with Shang Shushi, because the Zhongguan controlled the inner court, and He Jin stayed in the Baijun Mansion and said that he was ill, he could not get the news in the first time for many things, so he and the ministers of the outer court were very passive in recent times.

For this reason, he and his ministers discussed many times, and decided to maintain the balance between the three powers in Luoyang as much as possible on the basis of ensuring the Great War in Northern Xinjiang, so as to ensure that the Great War in Northern Xinjiang could form a winning situation before the rainy season came, so that the situation in Luoyang would gradually stabilize.

According to Yuan Kui's assumption, by August at the latest, the general of Zhengbei will be able to recover the border counties. As long as the general of the expedition to the north can end the war in northern Xinjiang, the matter of Luoyang can be carried out step by step.

Now the scholars are worried about He Jin. This time, the Han Dynasty changed hands, the young lord was newly established, and the queen mother was in the dynasty, according to the convention, the general should be in charge of the country.

However, with the tacit cooperation of the scholars and the lieutenants, they not only drove the general out of Luoyang at the most critical time, but also successfully suppressed and restrained the expansion of the general's power, so that the general did not dare to walk out of the Baijun Mansion for his own safety, let alone swagger into the palace.

Now, of course, He Jin understands his situation and how this situation came about. He could not succumb to the oppression of the scholars and lieutenants, and he would definitely regain what was rightfully his.

He's doing it now, and he's sharp. He Jin took advantage of his participation in Shangshu to recommend many of the general's right-hand men to the court.

In the past, for the sake of the struggle for the emperor's unification, he needed to win over and get the support of scholars, so he needed world-famous scholars such as He Hao and Yuan Shao to give him advice, but now he doesn't need it.

Now there are many celebrities and scholars in the General's Mansion, and he doesn't need He Hao, Yuan Shao and others to support him with a façade.

Now that the imperial system has been established, whether this is the reward of his efforts or the will of heaven, he has succeeded, and he does not need He Hao Yuan Shao to give him advice.

In the battle for imperial dominance, he was the winner. He Hao, Yuan Shao and others entered the court as officials and left the General's Mansion, although this seems to be a reward for merit, but in fact, this is a signal that He Jin alienated the scholars, and he was going to do it himself.

In this way, he told the scholars, "I know what you have done behind my back, I know what you have done with me, and I know what you want to do in the future."

For the sake of the emperor, He Jin Taoguang kept his eyes on the throne, and carefully struggled in the power vortex of Luoyang for more than ten years, and now he finally has a bright day, and when he has raised his eyebrows, he was jointly calculated at the last moment, and even almost lost his life, how can he bear this breath?

Is he really an incompetent butcher? Now that the three parties in Luoyang are in power, they are calculating each other, and there is no possibility of trust and cooperation.

Without the secrets of He Hao and Yuan Shao's participation in the General's Mansion, the scholars would lose their control and use of He Jin, and they could only take one step at a time.

However, Yuan Kui and the scholars were not worried that He Jin would deal with them immediately. The scholars now control the outer court to deal with state affairs, and do not control too much imperial power, the Son of Heaven and the Queen Mother need them, He Jin needs them even more, and He Jin has to deal with of course the traitor who holds the authority of Tianxian in his mouth.

What He Jin will do next, the scholars and officials are speculating, but what He Jin has to do is nothing more than to save his life, expand the power of the He clan, and then completely control the authority of the state.

He still has a lot to do to reach his ultimate goal. Now that the matter of the imperial unification has fulfilled his wish, He Jin's top priority is to try to preserve and consolidate the imperial unification.

Now the situation in Luoyang is very complicated, and the slightest carelessness is a situation in which all previous achievements are lost, and the loss of the opportunity for He Jin to take sole authority this time is a clear proof of this.

This shows that the current Han Kingdom is not the Son of Heaven and the Queen Mother, let alone He Jin.

In order to survive, He Jin had to fight back in order to survive better. What kind of blow will he unleash?

After Yuan Kui, Ding Gong and Liu Hong finished reading He Jin's recital, the three of them looked at each other speechlessly, and their eyes showed a deep sadness.

Once He Jin's Northern Army expanded again, more and more troops were stationed in Gyeonggi, and the hidden worry of great chaos inevitably appeared, and the purpose of requisitioning and transferring the 20,000 Northern Army from Hedong to Xiliang that day was completely frustrated.

But now you can't push He Jin too hard. The reason why He Jin dared to risk the danger of the Luoyang chaos to surround the Hussar General's Mansion and detain the Che Cavalry General was because he forced him too hard.

For his own safety, he can only hide in the Baijun Mansion and say that he is sick, and in this precarious situation, he can only fight back.

He Jin's reliance is that Luoyang can't be messed up. Everyone knows the consequences of the Luoyang Rebellion, and even the lieutenant officials do not dare to make a mistake easily.

But He Jin just made a big fuss in Luoyang, guiding the situation in Luoyang in the direction of chaos. If you don't agree to my terms, you will bear the consequences.

"At present, the new monarch has just established Luoyang, and the war in northern Xinjiang has just entered the most critical stage of encirclement, and this Luoyang must not be chaotic." Yuan Kui thought for a long time, and sighed,

"According to the minister, this recruitment move is not impossible to agree. Now that the Northern Army has 20,000 troops in Xiliang to quell the rebellion, it is difficult to return to Gyeonggi in the short term, and the Xiyuan Army has to shoulder the responsibility of garrisoning Luoyang. Zhao Zhong hurriedly interjected: "Lord Taifu, now Luoyang has 40,000 Xiyuan Army, 10,000 Northern Army, 20,000 Southern Army, a total of 70,000 troops, why do you want to recruit troops and expand the army?" General Huangfu's 20,000 northern troops will return to Gyeonggi sooner or later, and if General Huangfu returns, Luoyang will have 90,000 troops. How much military support is needed for such a large army? This policy must not be accepted. Liu Hong looked at Zhao Zhong and said with resentment: "Lord Zhao, who is gathering in Mingtang late at night?" You killed Jian Shuo with a knife, helped the general seize the opportunity to surround the hussar general's mansion, and threatened the Empress Dowager Dong, how do you say this matter will be settled? Are you worthy of the spirit of the first emperor in the sky? ”

"Lord Liu is far away, far away." Zhang Rang smiled slightly, all the wrinkles on his face were squeezed together, and he could barely see his eyes.

"The general is an important minister of the country, and he will not do such a rebellious thing, not to mention that the general has no evidence that the hussar general colluded with Jian Shuo to plot misdeeds."

"Evidence?" Ding Gong stared at Zhang Rang contemptuously and disgustedly, and said coldly,

"When the party members were arrested, what evidence did you have to prove that the party members wanted to rebel?"

"What do you mean by this, Lord Ding?" Guo Sheng's face turned cold, and he said very angrily,

"Could it be that the first emperor killed the wrong party?"

"Alright...... Okay......" Yuan Kui stood up and threw his hands around,

"Everyone, don't fight anymore, the past is over, and now it's about the general's recruitment, don't talk nonsense." The two sides were hindered by Yuan Kui's face, and they looked at each other with cold faces and angry eyes.

Empress Dowager He knew that they had a deep grudge, and they quarreled before they could say a word, and there was no way to discuss it later.

She looked at Yuan Kui with helpless eyes, and whispered: "Master Taifu, take an idea, this palace listens to you." Yuan Kui pondered for a long time, bowed down and said: "In the eyes of the ministers, the queen mother still agrees to the general." Now that there are frequent wars, the Northern Army really needs to be expanded so that it can go out to the Quartet at any time. However, the Empress Dowager can issue an order on behalf of the Son of Heaven to let the leading generals who recruit troops from Beijing train soldiers near the place of recruitment, and they are not allowed to return to Beijing without the holy decree of the Son of Heaven. It takes several months to recruit troops out of Beijing, and even longer with the training of soldiers, and the war in northern Xinjiang should be over. As long as the war in northern Xinjiang is certain, it will be difficult for Luoyang to want to mess up. Ignoring the strong opposition of the lieutenants, Empress Dowager He immediately agreed to He's plea to recruit troops in and out of Beijing to expand the Northern Army.

Xin Si Day (June 6). He Jin received the holy decree of the Son of Heaven and immediately called Sima He Jin.

"Add another thousand troops to surround the Hussar General's Mansion."

"What do you mean, General? Isn't the Queen Mother already ......" He Jin glanced at He Jin in horror and asked carefully,

"Couldn't the general wait until after the first emperor buried Wenling?" He Jin sighed, took out two secret letters and handed them to He Jin,

"I don't want to be a great general that everyone respects, but I don't have time. Although I will be scolded and spurned by the people of the world, it is better for me to be killed than to be killed and dumped in the mass graves of the mountains. "The first letter came from the Zhengbei General's Mansion in Jinyang, which said that at the end of May, the general of Zhengbei had led the army to encircle the Hu coalition army, and according to the normal attack speed, the encirclement and annihilation battle should begin.

However, the general of Zhengbei rebelled against the ferocious attack in the early stage of the war, and even besieged but did not attack, and also supervised the Xiongnu Dadanyu to go to Daqingyuan to appease the Xiongnu rebels, and his combat strategy was extremely abnormal.

In addition, the letter also mentioned that Dong Zhuo's subordinate general Li Su has frequently appeared in Jinyang recently, and has talked with Xian Yufu and Zhang Yan several times, but the specific situation is unknown.

The second letter came from Chang'an. Under the pretext that the grain and grass were not renewed, the left general Huangfu Song led his army to retreat to Huaili City in Fufeng County, while he himself secretly rushed to Chang'an City to meet Jingzhao Yin Gaixun.

He Jin's scalp was numb, and he was speechless for a long time.

"The first emperor liked to ask his favorite ministers with edicts, discuss court affairs with them, and talk about private affairs, among these ministers were Li Hong, Huangfu Song and Gai Xun. Did the first emperor confess to them with an edict before he died? What was written in the secret decree of the first emperor to the general of the expedition to the north? He Jin said slowly,

"Before the first emperor died, only the Queen Mother and Jian Shuo stayed by his side, and only the Queen Mother and Jian Shuo knew about these things. Now Jian Shuo has been killed by a traitorous eunuch, and we have no way to inquire, so we can only hope that the hussar general Dong Chong knows a little bit about it. He Jin asked in a low voice, "What does the general want to know?" What if you know? ”

"There must be a reason to kill." He Jin smiled bitterly and said again slowly,

"There must be a reason to kill."

"General, the situation is sinister now, and if you do this, it may cause chaos in Luoyang." He Jin said cautiously,

"Isn't there a safer way for the Great General?" He Jin was silent.

"It is a matter of course for the prince to inherit the unification, but why is Luoyang in today's situation? It was as if the great prince was usurping the throne. He Jin suddenly smiled bitterly,

"What crime have I committed? Who did I mess with? Why am I always being killed? Why do I have to worry about surviving, about being alive all day long? "Power.

He Jin sighed secretly, it's all for power, why don't the generals fight for power. Xu Liang and Wu Tang hurriedly walked in.

He Jin turned and retreated. He Jin whispered a few words of forgiveness, and then said: "Let Wu Kuang and Zhang Zhang bring two hundred people in, and be sure to find out a few things I confessed." Xu Liang nodded and asked, "When will the Hejian Kingdom send people?" He Jin hesitated for a moment and said: "First ask the princess and Liu Heke if they have an edict, if not, forget it, if there is, you will personally lead people to the north." Wu Tang said: "General, you can't be soft at this time, if you want to kill it, kill it cleanly, otherwise there will be endless troubles in the future." He Jin sat on the desk and was stunned for a moment, and then waved his hand to Wu Tang,

"You can do it." The servant Shi Zhang Liao, the commander Wu Qiu Yi, the military Sima Zhang Yang and Liu Bei were ordered to rush to the Baijun Mansion.

He Jin personally walked out of the study to greet him. Zhang Liao and the others were greatly moved, and bowed down. He Jin helped them up one by one and said with a smile: "There is an errand that requires you to work hard. Zhang Liao said impassionedly: "Xiaguan will never give up." He Jin said with a smile: "The Son of Heaven has a decree and orders the Northern Army to recruit troops and expand the army in various places. I know that the iron cavalry of Bingzhou and the foot soldiers of Danyang are very famous, and their combat effectiveness is very strong, so ......" he pointed to the four of them and said,

"Zhang Liao and Zhang Yang, you go back to Bingzhou to recruit iron cavalry, Wu Qiu Yi and Liu Bei, you go to Danyang to recruit foot soldiers, what do you think?" The four of them hurriedly bowed down and agreed.

"At dusk, you withdraw your troops from the Hussar General's Palace, and then each of you will take five hundred people out of Beijing overnight." Zhang Liao sat on the horse and thought that he would soon be able to return to Bingzhou to visit his parents, and his heart was happy.

At this time, he saw Xu Liang walking out of the Hussar General's Mansion with the two hundred iron horsemen who had just entered.

"Lord Xu has finished searching?" Xu Liang smiled, waved his hand and said, "The hussar general has committed suicide in fear of sin." I think you should leave Beijing immediately, so as not to cause trouble to the general. Zhang Liao was taken aback, the back of his head was cold, and a chill suddenly appeared.

Xu Liang looked at his dumbfounded appearance, patted him on the shoulder with a smile and said, "After you leave Beijing, I will tell Master Yuan, the captain of Sili, about this." He looked up at the sky and urged,

"Let's go, it's getting dark." Zhang Liao didn't hesitate anymore, flew on the horse, raised his hand and shouted: "Brothers, withdraw, withdraw......" Wu Qiuyi, Zhang Yang, Liu Bei and others saw Zhang Liao running over in a panic, secretly surprised, and hurriedly surrounded him.

"Wen Yuan, why are you so alarmed?" Wu Qiu Yi asked.

"Hurry up, go quickly......" Zhang Liao didn't get off the horse, leaned over and said hurriedly,

"The hussar general has been killed by the general, we will be in trouble soon, let's go quickly, get out of the customs overnight." As soon as night fell, the Northern Army suddenly made a full dispatch, and all the mansions of the Ten Standing Servants were surrounded, and He Jin personally led troops to surround the mansion of Zhao Zhong in Da Changqiu.

At this time, the queen mother had already received Yuan Shao's urgent performance, and the hussar general Dong Chong committed suicide in fear of crime, and all 123 people in the whole house died for his funeral.

Zhao Zhong and the others were shocked, they had not yet woken up from the shock, Yuan Shao had another hurry, the northern army was all dispatched, Xiamen Gumen was charged, and all the mansions of the ten permanent servants were surrounded.

"Quick, quick, order the West Garden Army to dispatch, order the West Garden Army to dispatch." Zhao Zhong looked at the frightened Empress Dowager He, and said in a trembling voice,

"Order Hu Ben and Yu Lin to quickly block the palace, hurry, the Queen Mother......" Empress Dowager He was so frightened that she couldn't stand up.

Duan Jue hurriedly wrote the holy decree and stamped it with the seal, and suddenly found that the Xiyuan Army had no one to command.

"The general of the Che Cavalry was detained by the general in the Hundred Counties Mansion, and there was no commander in the Xiyuan Army, who was this order handed over?"

"There you go." Zhao Zhong pointed at him without thinking and shouted,

"Hurry......"

"Why don't you go?" Duan Qi Qidao,

"I'm not going, I'm not going out of the palace."

"You bastard......" Zhao Zhong was so angry that the fat on his face trembled violently, and his eyes wanted to erupt with fire.

"Okay, okay, what's the noise?" Zhang Rang roared angrily,

"Cao Cao, the commander of the military academy, told him to quickly lead the Xiyuan Army to control the gates of Luoyang, surround the troublesome northern army, and hurry up to ......" A Zhonghuangmen rushed away with the holy decree.

"Slow ......down," Zhang Rang suddenly remembered something, rushed out and shouted,

"Order Cao Cao not to clash with the general, and those who violate the order will be beheaded." Jump to! ~！ [To quickly find this site, please search in Baidu: Sanlian Literature Network]
