Chapter 11 The Sunset of the Long River, Section 21 |On the eighth day of the eighth month of August, in the early morning, Liyang. The eldest princess did not summon Zhou Zhong and Li Wei.

Liu Fang passed the decree, and the two adults went to the post house to rest, waiting for the holy decree. As expected, the ministers of Chang'an were forced by the situation to accept Zhang Yan's coercion and join forces with Zhang Yan to seize the authority of the eldest princess.

This can't help but remind people of the Luoyang Mutiny fourteen years ago. After Dong Zhuo entered Beijing, Taifu Yuan Kui and the ministers of the court were also forced by the situation to help Dong Zhuo seize the authority of the Empress Dowager He, depose the young emperor, and rebuild the imperial system.

Fourteen years later, this scene was repeated again, and the warriors and scholars in the court joined forces again, does this mean that the eldest princess's life is on the verge of death, and the Han Sheji will suffer another catastrophe?

Now the only hope is the general. He Jin was castrated by ** that year, and Taifu Yuan Kui lost control of the Northern Army by a fraction of a margin, and as a result, Dong Zhuo entered Beijing, and the situation was irretrievable.

And today? Today, Zhang Yan also controlled the Northern Army, but fortunately, the general was out on the expedition, and the general still had the strongest Hu iron cavalry in his hands, and the general still had the possibility of saving the situation.

Prime Minister Cai Yong fell ill, and he supported his body and continued to guard the eldest princess. Although he knew that his life was in jeopardy, he was unwilling to give up, he still had a lot to do, and many wishes were not fulfilled.

After he finished watching the recital sent by Zhou Zhong and Li Wei, he was silent for a long time. What the imperial court wants to do now is also what he has always wanted to do.

For Sheji's great cause of Zhongxing, the top priority is to limit the authority of the eldest princess, reduce the military power in the hands of the general to the greatest extent, and lay the foundation for the smooth administration of the little emperor.

If nothing else, Xiao Tianzi will be in charge in six years, and these six years will be the most critical six years to determine the fate of the Han Dynasty.

The root cause of the mutiny crisis in Chang'an was actually because the foreign dynasty was eager to reduce the general's military power, and wanted to minimize the general's threat to Sheji and the threat to Xiao Tianzi's rule.

The warriors of Northern Xinjiang were a military class and a powerful force in the court, and they have now become an insurmountable obstacle to the prosperity of the Han Dynasty.

If this obstacle is not properly dealt with, and they cannot be quickly integrated into the court, the consequences will be unimaginable.

He has been trying to keep the military class out of the court, but it turns out that this road does not work and fails.

Although many of the military meritorious class were born in the Yellow Turbans, they are now the courtiers of the Han Dynasty, and the imperial court must face up to their exploits and transform the power in their hands into the power to stabilize the society.

In the current situation where the confrontation can no longer solve the problem, when the desire of the military meritorious class to enter the court is getting stronger and stronger, and when they have already opened the door of the court with their swords, the court must accept them with an open mind, whether they are willing or unwilling, surrender or take advantage of the situation.

The great generals and the military class are one, and the interests between the two are inseparable, which the imperial court has a clear understanding of.

However, the imperial court's wishful thinking that if the problem of the great general was solved, the problem of the military class would also be solved, and now it seems that this understanding is very wrong.

Although the interests of the two are inseparable, they are indeed two completely different interest groups.

Great generals cannot represent the entire military meritorious class, and the personal interests of great generals cannot replace the overall interests of the military meritorious class.

The eldest princess and the court completely misunderstood this point, and then made wrong judgments and formulated wrong strategies, so that a crisis was detonated.

Mistakes need to be admitted, and the responsibility for detonating the crisis needs to be borne by others, and as the prime minister, he should certainly bear this responsibility.

However, I am glad that it is worth it for myself and some of the ministers of the DPRK and China to pay a huge price for this mistake.

Because ministers such as Taifu Yang Biao, Taiwei Xunyou, and Dasi Nong Li Wei immediately realized the root cause of the crisis, they revised the strategy of the imperial court as quickly as possible, and came up with a series of correct countermeasures.

Let the warriors enter the court, manage the government with the warriors, use the power of the warriors to rebalance the imperial power and the relative power, and quickly limit the authority of the eldest princess, reduce the power of the general, and ensure that the little emperor can govern smoothly in the future, and ensure that the great cause of Zhongxing can continue to advance steadily.

I am leaving the court, and the days of living in the world are not far away, and in the last years, I must do what I can for the society no matter what.

The eldest princess was very angry, she refused to change the official system, refused to reduce the power of the middle secretary, and refused to implement the system of taking care of orders.

"Send an order to Zhou Zhong and Li Wei, ask them to go back to Chang'an, I will not summon them." Cai Yong, Xiao Lan, Liu Fang, Sun Zi, and Huang Yue did not move.

The eldest princess was so angry that her face turned red, and tears couldn't help rolling down,

"What? Do you want to imprison me in the deep palace too? ”

"Your Highness, please calm down." Cai Yong persuaded.

"Am I not calm enough?" The eldest princess screamed,

"If they are allowed to do whatever they want, the society of this great man will be destroyed in their hands. I won't promise them, never. You all retreat, and the matter is settled, and there is no need to discuss it again. Cai Yong didn't leave, and the eldest princess didn't drive him away.

After Xiao Lan and the others left, the eldest princess walked to Cai Yong's side, stuck to Cai Yong's back like a child, hugged Cai Yong's neck, and cried silently.

"My father is so ruthless, he drove me out of Luoyang, and he handed over a dying Sheji to me, what should I do?"

"Your Highness, do you still remember the edict of the first emperor?" Cai Yong said in a low voice,

"It's not just you who bear the responsibility of saving the society, but also the general."

"General...... The general is more ruthless than his father, I hate him so much......" The eldest princess's voice trembled,

"I told him to suspend the fight in Luoyang, and he took His Majesty to Luoyang and threatened me. When I cut him off in the army, he walked away, deliberately forcing his subordinates to mutiny. Now he wants to kill me, he wants to kill me......" Cai Yong sighed.

"Your Highness, you are wrong. If you look at the current situation, the situation of the general is even more difficult than yours. "It is a fact that the Son of Heaven was assassinated in Weiqiao, and it is also a fact that Zhang Yan took the Son of Heaven to take refuge in the camp of the Northern Army.

But did the Northern Army make a sortie? Did Zhang Yan start a mutiny? No. Zhang Yan is still a hero who protects the Son of Heaven so far, and he has no facts about violating the law.

Zhang Yan's methods were very clever, he made a posture of launching a mutiny, so that all of us felt the crisis of the outbreak of the mutiny, and had to respond immediately, so Chang'an actually formed a mutiny.

But at this time, Chang'an actually did not mutiny at all, but the situation was in a dangerous situation.

Is Zhang Yan guilty at this moment? Is there any evidence to prove that Zhang Yan is conspiracy? No. On the contrary, He Feng rushed to Liyang with the general's warrant to protect His Highness and ensure His Highness's safety, which was the best way to deal with the mutiny, but was there a mutiny in Chang'an at this time?

No. As a result, the dispatch of He Feng's army constituted the Chang'an Mutiny, and He Feng became the culprit of the Chang'an Mutiny.

Although the dispatch of He Feng's army temporarily resolved the imminent danger in Chang'an and gave the imperial court time to respond quickly, he sent troops to Liyang without authorization when the northern army did not dispatch, and when there was no mutiny in Chang'an, which was itself a mutiny.

The eldest princess can admit the validity of this warrant, even if there is no mutiny in Chang'an, you can say that it is a normal transfer.

But the problem is that the situation has changed at this moment, and the Northern Army has sufficient reasons to dispatch at this moment, no matter whether you admit that He Feng's dispatch of troops is legal, Zhang Yan can not admit it.

He could send troops, his mutiny turned into a counterinsurgency, and his merits were even greater. Is Zhang Yan guilty at this moment?

Is there any evidence to prove that Zhang Yan is conspiracy? No. It was He Feng who was guilty, and the general who gave He Feng the warrant.

When He Feng's army arrived in Liyang, the imperial court suddenly found that the situation had not improved in the slightest, but had fallen into an even greater crisis.

The imperial court was very passive, in order to prevent Zhang Yan from sending troops in the name of counterinsurgency, in order to prevent Sheji from suffering the scourge of defeat, their only solution was to sit down with Zhang Yan and have a good talk.

This is exactly the same as when Dong Zhuo entered Beijing, and Taifu Yuan Kui had to sit down with Dong Zhuo to discuss state affairs, but now Taifu has been replaced by Yang Biao, and it is Zhang Yan who threatens Sheji.

Why did Zhang Yan launch a mutiny? The reason is simple, the general gave up on them, patted their butts and walked, whether they lived or died.

What do they do? How does the military class survive? They want to be ministers of state affairs and participate in state affairs, but this does not guarantee their survival.

During the second mutiny in Chang'an, Situ Wang Yun adopted the method of ostracizing and killing the warriors, which told them a truth, in order to ensure survival, they must have greater authority.

But here comes the problem again. The third mutiny in Chang'an, the rebellion of Li Dao and Guo Yan, told them another truth, if the warriors were in power and completely excluded the scholars, they would be defeated faster.

The lessons of the failures of our predecessors are still fresh in our minds and vividly, so what methods can today's military meritorious class use to protect both the society and their own lives?

The method is also very simple, at the cost of losing the interests of the Son of Heaven and the eldest princess, to satisfy the interests of warriors and scholars to the greatest extent.

The current situation was just right for this, so the warriors and scholars sat down together and discussed how to maximize their interests.

In order to maximize one's own interests, there is a premise, that is, the social economy must become more and more stable in order to ensure long-term peace and stability, and the national strength must be quickly restored in order to ensure that the financial resources are more abundant.

And the premise of this is that the court must be stable. When they sit down and bargain calmly, there is a great fear in their hearts that there is no trust on both sides.

The Luoyang Mutiny and the first mutiny in Chang'an also taught the warriors and soldiers a truth, that is, to cooperate, to trust each other, at least to work together as much as possible before the society was completely stabilized.

This truth is not easy to come by, and it was obtained at the cost of the lives of thousands of people after the disaster of the Han Dynasty for 14 years.

How do you gain trust? No, it is impossible for both sides to gain trust. The Luoyang Mutiny, the three mutinies in Chang'an, the bloody facts, who dares to trust each other?

At this time, there is only one way, that is, to check and balance each other, and replace trust with the balance of power between each other, so the Son of Heaven, the eldest princess and the general entered the situation of checks and balances.

The key to the situation of checks and balances is the official system, but the official system of the imperial court today is a deformed official system, and the military power in the hands of the general has been independent.

Therefore, in order to achieve checks and balances, the first task is to revise the official system, and to revise the official system, the first task is to reduce the military power of the generals.

The power of the army in the hands of the general is too difficult to move. The crisis that broke out in Chang'an today is likely to erupt again in the near future.

They, like us, are in a dilemma on how to reduce the military power of the generals. We can't solve this problem, it doesn't mean that the warriors can't solve this problem.

Military power was originally associated with martial artists, and as long as the military meritorious class came forward, it was no longer a problem to reduce the military power of the generals.

Zhang Yan created a mutiny, forcing He Feng to rush to Liyang with the army. This begs a litany of questions.

The general Mingli gave up his military power, turned around and left, but secretly left a secret order to transfer troops, indicating that the general had expected the military meritorious class to launch a mutiny.

He turned around and left, forcing the military class to hold on to his military power. Leaving a secret order is to control the situation and wait for yourself to come back to save the situation.

In other words, from the Son of Heaven and the eldest princess to all the forces in the court, they may all become victims of the generals to retain their military power, and the military class is no exception.

Zhang Yan didn't know if he was a victim or not, but judging from the current strength of the Yellow Turban Department in the army, the Yellow Turban generals were very likely to become the target of the general's bloodbath.

So he categorically decided to break with the general and help the imperial court reduce the general's military power, so as to ensure the interests of the Yellow Turban generals.

Taifu Yang Biao, Taiwei Xun You, Dasi Nong Li Wei and others certainly couldn't ask for it. The two sides hit it off, so this official system revision plan came out.

The military power is led by the Son of Heaven, the Great Sima, the Taiwei and the Great General, and the General leads the army to conquer and only has the right to command the battlefield.

The split of the warriors and the division of the military class finally made the imperial court's wish to reduce the military power of the great generals become a reality.

When the general returns, will he agree? If he did not agree, the warriors and scholars would join forces against him, and the court would unanimously identify him as the mastermind of the Chang'an Mutiny.

Does the general want to be the enemy of the entire court? No, he will not be an enemy of the imperial court, let alone put He Feng and 10,000 soldiers to death.

There are even more powerful, now the Son of Heaven is in the Northern Army camp, the eldest princess is in Liyang, there are a large number of Yellow Turban generals in both places, as long as Zhang Yan gives an order, everyone will die and the net will be broken, and it will be all over.

The general could only agree, although he had absolute authority in the army, Zhang Yan was the commander of the Yellow Turban Army in the past, and there were many loyal people under him, and the general was not sure to control the overall situation.

If the general is allowed to hand over most of the military power in this situation, it may anger the general, and the general is angry, and the consequences are clear to everyone.

In order to ensure the safety of Sheji, in order to ensure that the interests of the great general are not lost, and in order to be able to make him hand over most of the military power very happily, the imperial court can only harm the interests of the Son of Heaven and the eldest princess.

But if the Son of Heaven and the eldest princess completely lose their authority, the consequences will be even more serious. The Luoyang Mutiny and the three mutinies in Chang'an were fundamentally due to the loss of imperial power.

Over the years, the eldest princess, the general and the imperial court have been trying to rebuild the prestige of the imperial power, if the imperial power is seriously weakened this time, not only the eldest princess will not agree, I am afraid that the general will immediately wave the butcher's knife when he returns.

Thus, the system of taking care of life appeared. When the Son of Heaven was young, the Minister of Gu Ming assisted the Son of Heaven, which began in Zhou.

However, the Gu Ming system has been implemented for more than 1,000 years, and its drawbacks are terrible, that is, the Gu Ming minister usurped and simply overthrew the little emperor and replaced him.

In order to prevent this from happening, the harem auxiliary government began to replace the Gu Ming system, which led to the disaster of relatives and eunuchs.

Since Emperor Gaozu of this dynasty, he is also an auxiliary government of the harem. When Emperor Xiaowu was young, he was constrained by the Empress Dowager Dou and hated it, so he killed the harem before he died, and entrusted him to the four ministers, but no longer after that.

After Emperor Guangwu was revived, he learned the lesson of his relatives Wang Mang's troubles and strictly forbade his relatives in the harem to interfere in politics, but because of repeated problems with the imperial system, this law was immediately thrown aside.

Now, the imperial court has once again proposed the system of taking care of life, which is a long-term consideration. Six years later, the little emperor will be in charge, in order to prevent the eldest princess from continuing to hold power, it is necessary to take precautions to gradually reduce the authority of the eldest princess, and the best way is undoubtedly to use the harem system and the Gu Ming system together, and the eldest princess and the minister of Gu Ming will assist the Son of Heaven together to successfully complete the transfer of power.

This method is obviously in line with the interests of most people, except for the eldest princess, and what is the concern of the eldest princess, that is, the serious imbalance between the imperial power and the relative power, that is, the candidate for the minister.

In today's court, the general is the most powerful, and even if his military power is reduced, it will not affect his strong strength.

In the past, the military class was all subordinate to the generals, and the current split can be said to be deliberately caused by the generals to some extent, in order to let them leave their wings and survive independently.

It is obvious that the military class is strong and beneficial to the generals. This kind of strong character becomes a minister who cares about his life, and in the case of a serious imbalance between the imperial power and the relative power, everyone will be restless and dare not close their eyes when they sleep.

In order to dispel the concerns of the eldest princess, the imperial court set up six ministers in one go, which met the requirements of the interests of all parties in the court, and at the same time greatly weakened and restricted the power of the general.

So, will the general happily accept this scheme? The answer is yes. Judging from the results of this crisis, the eldest princess suffered heavy losses, but it was of some help to the little emperor six years later.

The general lost part of his military power, and in the past, he also led the affairs of the state to handle state affairs, and the status of the minister of Gu Ming did not help him in his national policy.

The Outer Dynasty took back all the power, and the Outer Dynasty had six ministers who assisted the Son of Heaven and participated in the decision-making of national affairs.

Got a part of the imperial power and achieved a brilliant victory. However, if you carefully study the composition of the ministers of the outer dynasty after a large number of military meritorious classes poured into the court, it is not difficult to find that the people of northern Xinjiang controlled the outer dynasty, and the scholars and warriors of northern Xinjiang got the greatest benefits from this crisis.

In other words, the power of the great general has not weakened, but has swelled violently. Therefore, the general will accept this plan very quickly.

"Since the general happily accepted this plan and his power was extremely inflated, is his situation still difficult?" The eldest princess sat beside Cai Yong and said with a wry smile,

"The general learned the lesson of Dong Zhuo's defeat and pushed the warriors to the court, and now the people of Northern Xinjiang have completely controlled the government and avoided repeating the mistakes of Dong Zhuo's defeat, what else is it difficult for him?"

"Your Highness, although the general happily accepted this plan, the panic in his heart is probably even more unbearable than Dong Zhuo back then." Cai Yong sighed,

"Think about it, how powerful he should be in six years? How did he give the army to the Son of Heaven? How to give the power in your hands to the Son of Heaven? Although the general is doing his best to support the Son of Heaven, six years later, the Son of Heaven is only thirteen years old, how much prestige can he have? How much merit can it be? Would the Son of Heaven dare to take over the power and army of the great general? Do the great generals dare to hand over power and the army to the Son of Heaven? ”

"Think about it again, what is the most ordinary thing in the court? A struggle for power. The people of Northern Xinjiang control the government, and the people of Northern Xinjiang occupy the position of minister, can they still work together? The scholars and warriors in northern Xinjiang have been divided, and the split of the warriors in northern Xinjiang has also become a fact. Who can restrain them? Only the Great General. But the counterinsurgency war is imminent, and the conquest will follow one after another, how can the general have time to stay in the court to stabilize the situation? The court is in chaos, and the general is no longer able to raise his sword, because almost all the forces in the court are from the north of Xinjiang, and they are all brothers who follow him to fight the world, can he still kill as wantonly as in the past? He can't do it, but he can't let these people kill each other, what should he do? Let the great cause of ZTE fail? The eldest princess Huo Ran woke up, and fear swept over her whole body in an instant.

"If he hadn't left Chang'an, the Chang'an mutiny hadn't happened, and the crisis six years later might have been resolved. But we pushed it too hard, and he threw his hands away in a fit of anger, so that he caused today's dead end, and the disaster in the future, and the minister is responsible, and it is difficult to escape the blame. Cai Yong was worried, looked up to the sky and sighed,

"Back then, Taifu Yuan Kui made a mistake in his strategy, which led to chaos in the world; Three years later, Lord Situ Wang Yun made the same mistake, and as a result, he completely buried Sheji and pushed Sheji into the abyss of overturning; Eleven years later, I made the same mistake as them again, and as a result, ZTE fell into a deep crisis. ”

"After I leave, the most prestigious person in the court is Taifu Yang Biao, who should be the best candidate for prime minister. Although Yang Biao is an old fox and the best at protecting himself, he is like us, he has a deep wariness of martial artists, and is even more dissatisfied with the military merit class's control of the government. At that time, the power of the general was huge, and the likes of Dong Zhuo and Li Dao could be compared, and once the situation was irretrievable, the society would be destroyed overnight. Therefore, this prime minister can't let others do it, he can only let Master Li Wei do it. ”

"Li Wei is a great talent, and he is a native of Northern Xinjiang, and he is the first scholar to follow the general to conquer the world, and his exploits are extremely prominent, and he has won the trust of the general, and he is the most suitable candidate for prime minister. If after six years, he can't resolve this crisis, then ......" Cai Yong didn't continue, looking depressed and shaking his head again and again.

"Boss, is there a solution now?" The eldest princess hung her head and asked in a low voice,

"Can the general still trust me?"

"The general is gone, he anticipated this crisis, and for this reason he specially asked He Feng to protect you, isn't that enough? He has always trusted you, but you ......"

"Why did he leave when he knew there was going to be a crisis?" The eldest princess looked up at Cai Yong, her face showing anger,

"He did it on purpose, deliberately forced you out of the court, deliberately let the ministers kill each other, and deliberately caused this crisis...... Well, now he's satisfied. I'd like to see how he comes back and clean up the mess. ”

"Your Royal Highness......" Cai Yong wanted to persuade him, but he really shouldn't say much about this kind of thing, the more he talked about it, the deeper the misunderstanding between the eldest princess and the general.

"Your Royal Highness, Lord Li Wei is the prime minister, although he can temporarily maintain the stability of the court, but due to the serious imbalance between the imperial power and the prime minister in this official system, the imperial authority has suffered a heavy setback, and in the future, Lord Li Wei has great ability, and he will not be able to solve the problem. Therefore, in order to solve the crisis six years later, and to ensure the smooth administration of Xiao Tianzi, first of all, this official system must be revised. ”

"I won't agree, when the general comes back, I see how he ends? If he has the ability, he will kill me. Before she finished speaking, the tears in the eldest princess's eyes had already rolled down.

Cai Yong was stunned for a long time,

"Your Highness, the current situation is critical, stability is the top priority, no matter what, we must first agree to revise the official system, and when the general returns, we will consider the long-term plan and try to rebuild the official system. Although the minister has the responsibility of assisting the Son of Heaven, it cannot completely replace the decision-making of the inner court, as long as His Royal Highness gets the help of the general and regains control of the middle secretary, he can also firmly check and balance the power. This matter is related to the rise and fall of the society, and His Royal Highness must not be reckless and ruin a big thing. The eldest princess wept silently.

Cai Yong persuaded for a while. In his opinion, if the eldest princess trusts the general, and the two work together, they can not only join forces to defend the imperial power and stabilize the court, but also help solve the crisis six years later.

Six years later, the little emperor was in charge, the eldest prince mainly handed over all the authority, and the general also had to hand over a large part of the power, at this time the mutual trust between the two was extremely important, directly related to the rise and fall of Han Zuo.

This is easier said than done, at that time, is it possible to have trust?

"What about the future? What will happen in the future? "The eldest princess was heartbroken. Cai Yong sighed for a long time, hesitating at a loss.

On the morning of the 8th day of the eighth month of August, the eldest princess summoned Zhou Zhong and Li Wei and listened to their explanations and explanations on the revision of the official system.

The eldest princess said that the revision of the official system is very important, and I will consider it carefully before making a decision. As for the impeachment of the prime minister and the imperial historian, I will put it aside for now, and then I will talk about it when the matter is clarified.

The impeachment of two ministers at one time is also a big deal in the DPRK, and it cannot be taken lightly. Zhou Zhong and Li Wei went back empty-handed.

In the early morning of the ninth day of August, Taifu Yang Biao and Da Sima Xu Rong convened the ministers again. The eldest princess's refusal was expected by everyone.

The arrow is on the string and has to be sent. Taiwei Xun You suggested that the case of the assassination of the Son of Heaven should be concluded immediately, and Lü Bu should be arrested, so that He Feng could quickly lead the army into Liyang City, and there would be a conflict with the southern army, and then form a threat.

On the ninth day of the first month of August, the great Sima Xu Rong and the old minister Sima Fang, who led the imperial history platform, personally sat in the Tingwei Mansion, and the ministers of Tingwei Qing Xian Yufu, Tingwei Cheng Chen Hao, Zhishu Yushi Xi Xi, Sili Xiaowei Wang Ze, Jingzhao Yin Yupeng and other ministers jointly tried the case.

In the afternoon of the same day, the wife of the former lieutenant Zhang Wen rushed to the Tingwei Mansion and asked to see the great Sima Xu Rong. Zhang Wen's wife is Cai Mao's aunt, she is here to intercede, hoping that Xu Rong can look at Zhang Wen's face, open the net, and leave Cai Mao's life.

Xu Rong agreed, ordered Cai Mao to be escorted back to the pavilion, and arrested another envoy, Han Song. Cai Mao has a hard mouth, and he still refuses to confess, and if he changes to someone from the Yingchuan Han family, he can just persuade him to surrender, and he can get a confession and close the case as soon as possible.

On the morning of August 11, Da Sima Xu Rong, Guangluxun Zhang Yan, Ting Weiqing Xian Yufu, and Dasi Nong Li Wei rushed to Liyang with the concert.

The case of the assassination of the Son of Heaven has been revealed. Xiangyang envoys Xu Shu, Wang Lang, Hua Xin and others were ordered to plot to assassinate the Son of Heaven.

Kong Rong, Zhang Miao, Chen Gong, Zhang Chao, Zang Hong, You Heng, Chen Deng and others tried to assassinate the general Li Hong because they were dissatisfied with the general's abuse of power and harmed the country.

Last year, Xin Ping, Xun Chen and others were framed precisely to divert the target, and planned to take advantage of the chaos to assassinate, but unexpectedly, Zhang Chao's corruption and perversion of the law leaked, resulting in the time of the assassination being postponed again and again.

Fearing that Xi would learn the secret, they sent someone to assassinate him, but because of improper deployment, Zang Hong was arrested. They were terrified and planned to defect to Xiangyang, so they got in touch with the people of Xiangyang.

The two sides hit it off, and then planned to assassinate the Son of Heaven. At present, the rebels involved in the main cases have been arrested. Kong Rong and 17 other ministers confessed, and the evidence of the crime was conclusive.

After the joint discussion of the imperial court, the Son of Heaven and the eldest princess were asked to issue an order to be killed immediately. The Imperial History Platform impeached Cai Yong, Liu He, Lü Bu and other seven ministers, believing that they had unshirkable responsibility for the assassination of the Son of Heaven, and that they were guilty of negligence, cover-up, connivance, and leakage of state secrets, and that they should be immediately dismissed from their posts and detained in the Imperial Governor's Mansion for interrogation.

The eldest princess was anxious to stabilize the situation, and immediately issued an order to accept the court's recital, and seven days later, she killed Kong Rong and other seventeen rebels, and the nine clans were all wiped out.

Six ministers, including Prime Minister Cai Yong and Imperial Historian Liu He, were dismissed and immediately detained in the Tingwei Mansion. Xin Ping, Xun Chen, Xianrong and others were acquitted, the officials were reinstated, and certain rewards were given to show comfort.

All the envoys of Xiangyang were imprisoned in the palace of the court and interrogated strictly, and the rebellion hidden in the court must be thoroughly investigated, so as to prevent the Son of Heaven and the ministers of the court from encountering any more accidents.

The eldest princess believed that Wei Wei Lu Bu was loyal and reliable, and rejected the impeachment. He refused to respond to the change in the bureaucratic system.

General Zuo Wei and Zhao Yun avoided Jinwu. The right general Yang Feng temporarily led the Jinwu and supervised the Northern Army.

August 12, Chang'an. The ministers of the DPRK and China were a little anxious, and the ministers such as Zhou Zhong, Taiwei Xun You, Guangluxun Zhang Yan and other ministers demanded that the Tingwei Mansion immediately list the charges and kill Lu Bu.

Taifu Yang Biao, Da Sima Xu Rong, Ting Weiqing Xian Yufu and Dasi Nong Li Wei resolutely opposed. If you want to move Lu Bu, you must first adjust the generals in the army, Zhang Liao is not leading the troops now, but Wei Xu, Song Xian, Li Feng and others are all generals of the unified army, if these people are not solved first, Lu Bu will not be able to move, otherwise it is very likely to cause a rebellion, and the situation will be out of control.

In addition, Lu Bu's wife Xiaoyue is the niece of the old minister Zhang Xi, Zhang Xi's family is the Guanluo family, and the Guanxi Yang family, the Guanzhong Ma family, and the Hedong Wei family are all in-laws, and the killing of Lu Bu has too much impact.

The ministers were arguing, and then Sima Fang came up with an idea. In addition to Zhang Falcon, who is Lu Zhi's disciple, the other Guo Xun, Yang Yi, and Liu Yu are all Zhang Yan's people.

Let Zhang Yan use her personal relationship to secretly tell Guo Xun, Yang Yi and others, and let them make trouble in the city first. Lu Bu was powerless to suppress the army, and he was not strict in governing the army, threatening the safety of the palace, and the eldest princess couldn't protect him if she wanted to.

On August 13, Taiwei Xun You, acting imperial historian Sima Fang, Guangluxun Zhang Yan, and Dasi Nong Li Wei rushed to Liyang to discuss with the eldest princess about the revision of the official system, and played the impeachment of Lu Bu, demanding that the commander of the Southern Army be changed immediately.

The eldest princess flatly refused. Lu Bu was implicated in the assassination case of the Son of Heaven, and the repeated impeachment by the ministers quickly spread throughout the battalions of the Southern Army, and the soldiers immediately made a fuss.

If Lu Bu participated in the plot to assassinate the Son of Heaven, his subordinates would definitely be implicated, and the first to bear the brunt would be the generals of the battalions of the Southern Army, and there would be nowhere to complain when their heads moved.

Guo Xun, Yang Yi, Liu Yu, and Zhang Ying jointly played and asked Lu Bu to take the initiative to resign, so as not to kill his innocent brothers.

The eldest princess was kind and comforting, but at this moment, the army's heart was in turmoil, and the situation in the city was extremely tense. Lu Bu had no choice but to resign from the post of guard lieutenant, but asked to continue to stay with the eldest princess to protect her safety as the general of the left guard.

The eldest princess agreed without hesitation. She is now in a very dangerous situation, the ministers of the DPRK and China are advancing step by step, Hu Ben and Yulin are not trustworthy, the soldiers of the Southern Army are already in chaos, and He Feng's army is stranded outside the city and cannot enter at all, the only person she can trust is Lu Bu.

The eldest princess urgently summoned Guangluxun Zhang Yan and Youzhong Lang to Tian Yu, and ordered them to withdraw from the Tiger Feather Forest in the palace, and the responsibility of guarding the palace was handed over to Lu Bu and He Feng, otherwise she ordered the iron cavalry of Pang De and Wei Jun to enter Beijing to escort them.

Zhang Yan and Tian Yu refused to accept the order. As soon as this decree is received, his own head will be in danger. Tiger Ben Yulin Jingran disregarded the safety of the eldest princess and abandoned the palace, which will be a capital crime in the future.

He would rather be charged with resisting the decree than let Tiger Ben Yulin leave the palace for half a step. Sima Fang hurriedly came forward to mediate.

He Feng's army still did not enter the city, which violated the law, especially in this sensitive period, and it was not allowed to enter the city.

Tiger Ben Yulin couldn't leave the palace, which also violated the law, and the two adults, Zhang Yan and Tian Yu, couldn't afford such a crime at all.

As for Lord Lu Bu, His Highness can stay by his side. In this special period, Lord Lu Bu and his personal guards can stay in the palace, but they can only guard His Highness's Jinhua Palace, and they are not allowed to go to other places.

The eldest princess was so angry that she wanted to draw her sword and kill people. He Feng's army is not advancing, and Lu Bu's army can only stay in Jinhua Palace, so is he different from being imprisoned in Jinhua Palace?

The eldest princess swallowed her anger and agreed. On August 15, more than a dozen ministers of the DPRK and China, including Taifu Yang Biao, Da Sima Xu Rong, and Taichang Guo Ce, rushed to Liyang to persuade the eldest princess to revise the official system.

The eldest princess asked the Son of Heaven to return to the car, and then talk about revising the official system. On August 16, Xiao Tianzi received a letter from the eldest princess.

At this moment, under the guidance of the right general Yang Feng, the middle base general Yu Poison and others, he is practicing offensive and defensive tactics.

More than 10,000 soldiers on the "battlefield" are fighting bravely under his command

"Combat". Little Son of Heaven

"War" is in full swing, he doesn't want to go back at all, he frowned, and wrote a letter back, aunt, I have been vomiting and diarrhea in the past few days, fever is not stopping, walking is inconvenient, I will talk about it in a few days.
