The master craftsman Zhu Jun, the former Guangluxun Liu Bo, and the former Dangkou general Zhou Shen hurriedly walked into the Taifu Mansion. ∮ Yan Moxuan ∮ ad-free ∮

The three of them were panicked and uneasy, not knowing what had happened in Luoyang, but when they saw Yuan Kui's calm expression and standing calmly under the corridor to greet them, their hearts were suddenly relieved. Everything is still under the control of Master Taifu.

"Master Taifu, why is the palace on fire? What's wrong? Zhu Jun asked eagerly.

"** castrated the general." Yuan Kui said lightly, "The people of the Great General's Mansion set fire to the Vermilion Bird Gate in anger, rushed into the palace and wantonly killed the ** eunuch, and now Yuan Shu is taking the Tiger Ben Yulin to hunt down the rebel thieves." ”

"What about Your Majesty and the Queen Mother?"

"Your Majesty has been held to the North Palace by **, and the Queen Mother was rescued by Lord Lu Zhilu and has returned to Changqiu Palace."

Yuan Kui welcomed them into the lobby and said calmly, "I have already worshiped Yuan Shao as the lieutenant of Si Li, and led people to surround the North Palace, but considering the safety of the Son of Heaven, I dare not attack. Then he said a little about what had happened, "I invite you to come because I want you to go out of the city immediately to control the Northern Army." ”

Zhu Jun and the three of them were shocked, one by one, dumbfounded, and stood in the lobby for a long time without speaking.

"Last night, the general just merged the five battalions of the Xiyuan Army into the Northern Army, and there was chaos in the camp." Yuan Kui said anxiously, "Now Cao Cao, Bao Hong and dozens of military horses and fake horses of the Xiyuan Army are all optimistic, and the Northern Army's Tun Cavalry Captain Duan Xuan, Yue Cavalry Captain Wu Fu, Northern Army Zhonghou Zhang Liao, Du Lieutenant Zhang Yang, and Wuqiu Yi are also optimistic. Once they know that Luoyang is in turmoil, ** castration kills the general, the angry Northern Army soldiers may take the opportunity to kill the Xiyuan Army soldiers on a large scale, and the Northern Army camp may collapse in an instant, and the consequences are very terrible. So you set out at once, and immediately go out of the city and rush to Pingxing. ”

"Lord Zhu once led the Northern Army to quell the Yellow Turban Rebellion in Nanyang. Lord Liu first served in the Northern Army, and later guarded the frontier for many years, and was the general of Duliao in my Han Kingdom. Lord Zhou once led the Northern Army to quell the rebellion in Western Xinjiang. The three of you are very prestigious, both in terms of prestige and prestige in the military. Yuan Kui looked at the three of them and said with a slight smile, "I believe that after the three of you are optimistic, you will be able to quickly stabilize the morale of the army and firmly control the 50,000 soldiers of the Northern Army." ”

At this time, Zhu Jun, Liu Bo and Zhou Shen already knew the situation in the capital. Now that the eunuch and the general are all gone, as long as the northern army is controlled and the remnants of the eunuch and the general are eradicated, the capital will be as stable as a rock, and there will be no source of chaos.

"By the decree of the Son of Heaven, worship Lord Liu as Guangluxun, and worship Lord Zhou as the backbone general. The units of the Northern Army were under the control of General Zhou. Yuan Kui said, "Wait a while, I have already sent someone to play the Empress Dowager, and the holy decree and the runes will arrive soon." ”

Yuan Shao, He Hao, and Han Fufei dismounted and rushed into Taifu's mansion.

"My lord, something is in trouble." He Hao was sweating profusely, and said with a panicked expression, "Zhang Rang not only coerced the Son of Heaven and King Chen Liu, but also took away all the jade seals of the heirloom country and the six emperor's seals. ”

Yuan Kui, Zhu Jun and others were taken aback. Now that the Son of Heaven and King Chen Liuwang are in the hands of Zhang Rang and Duan Qi and others, and the Queen Mother has been rescued again, who would dare to attack the North Palace on their own? But without the seal, the decree is useless. Yuan Shao can take soldiers and horses to falsely pass the holy decree in Luoyang City to kill the protégés of Xu Xiang, Fan Ling and ** eunuchs, but when he arrives at the camp of the Northern Army, who would dare to falsely pass the holy decree? The lieutenants of the Northern Army and the lieutenants of the Northern Army have to verify the seals and runes, and once they find that the seals are fake, they will immediately be a disaster of blood and light. After all, the change of commander in the Northern Army means that the general He Jin has an accident, how can those henchmen of He Jin in the Northern Army not be cautious? This is not only related to the lives of the generals, but also to the safety of the capital and the country.

"Is there any news from Captain Wu Qiong of the City Gate? Hussar general He Miao has ever been out of the city? He Hao asked anxiously, "The Queen Mother said that Zhang Rang wrote a holy decree and sent it to the hussar general, so that the hussar general should immediately go out of the city to lead the northern army, and we must intercept this holy decree." ”

Yuan Kui turned his head to look at Yuan Shao. Yuan Shao nodded to him, then hurriedly walked out of the lobby and ordered a few of his subordinates to immediately invite Henan Yin Wang Yun and Fengche Commander Dong Min to Taifu's mansion.

"Wu Qiong has no news for me, which means that He Miao has not left the city." Yuan Kui asked, "Has the rebellion that entered Nangong been purged?" How is the Queen Mother? ”

"Xu Liang, Wu Tang, Wu Kuang, Zhang Zhang, and more than 3,000 rebels have been ambushed, Yuan Shu, Lord Yuan, and Master Zheng Tai, Master Zheng, have already taken Hu Ben Yulin to the General's Mansion to hunt down the remnants." Han Fu panted and said, "The Queen Mother was frightened and was already resting in bed, and Shangshu Xu Jing and Zhou Yu were guarding outside the Changqiu Palace with some of the Yulin guards. The Queen Mother said that all state affairs will be handled by Lord Taifu for the time being. ”

"The seal is gone, what should I do?" Yuan Kui sneered, "Could it be that my warrant is more useful than His Majesty's holy decree?" ”

"Come, please go to the Taifu Mansion immediately. Also, invite Zhang Wen, Cui Lie, Ma Riyan, Ding Gong, Liu Hong and Yuan Peng and other old ministers to the mansion. ”

Late at night, the fire in the direction of the palace had gradually been extinguished, but the bloody wind in Luoyang City continued. Hu Ben Zhonglang took Yuan Shu, Sili Lieutenant Yuan Shao and Henan Yin Wangyun with heavily armed soldiers to launch a bloody purge of the rest of the party of ** eunuch and his relatives. At the same time, the controversy in the Taifu Mansion was also very intense.

** Eunuch died, the general died, the hussar general He Miao also died, the wishes of the scholars for many years were fulfilled one day, everyone was ecstatic, and even cried with joy. But after celebrating each other, the cruel reality of Luoyang plunged them into deep fear.

Worrying about the future is like two bloody butcher's knives on their necks. Thinking about the Son of Heaven and the Queen Mother, the 50,000 Northern Army outside the city is optimistic.

Look at the ministers of the court and the central government in the hall, now there is a lack of generals, hussar generals, three important ministers of the Nine Emperors, Zhongchang attendants, and more than twenty officials of 2,000 stones, all of whom have disappeared in this sudden chaos. No matter how good the reasons are in the future, they cannot hide the fact that the scholars led by Yuan Kui, the Taifu Lord, took the opportunity of the Luoyang Rebellion to eradicate the forces of Zhongguan and foreign relatives. In other words, although the scholars got their wishes, they controlled the court. But as long as the Empress Dowager He is still in charge of the dynasty, or when the son is still on the throne today, these ministers sitting in the Taifu Mansion will have to pay a heavy price for today's killing in the future.

Before the Son of Heaven is not an adult, the Queen Mother will definitely be in charge of the government. This is the ancestral system, and the ministers are powerless to change it, and it is beyond the power of these scholars to change the imperial power and the laws of the Great Han Dynasty. As long as the Queen Mother is in charge of the dynasty, eunuchs will appear. It is impossible for the queen mother to violate the ancestral system and sit with the ministers every day to discuss state affairs, and it is impossible for her to go out of the Changqiu official and openly sit in the court, so she must find eunuchs to enter the palace and serve with her. has to appoint a prisoner to send the country's life, and the eunuch who holds the prince in his hand and has a heavenly constitution in his mouth will appear in the court again. Similarly, as long as the Queen Mother is in power, her relatives will be in power, which is also a matter of no choice. How many queen mothers know how to govern the country? How many queen mothers are not worried about their power and being controlled by others? The direct danger of the fall of power is the lives of the young emperor and the queen mother, so the queen mother can only trust her relatives. Today, He Jin and He Miao are dead, which does not mean that there are no relatives. Empress Dowager He has no brother anymore, but she still has uncles, cousins, and many relatives. As long as the Empress Dowager He is willing, her relatives can appear in the court at any time.

Empress Dowager He has a new eunuch and a new relative, which can help the Son of Heaven gradually control the inner court. After the Son of Heaven takes over, those who should settle accounts will be settled, and the power that should be taken back will also be taken back, and all the efforts of the scholars today will be in vain. Therefore, if we want to curb the serious disadvantages of the dictatorship of foreign relatives and eunuchs that have plagued the Great Han Kingdom for decades, and if we want to completely eradicate the soil on which foreign relatives and eunuchs rely for breeding and reproduction, it is necessary to let Empress Dowager He return to power. But can the scholars do it? Obviously, this kind of deviant thing cannot be done by scholars, which is related to the law of the Great Han Dynasty, the supremacy of imperial power, and the prestige and life of the family.

The 50,000 Northern Army, who were optimistic about the deaths of He Jin and He Miao, and the fall of the Son of Heaven and the Seal, became a problem that could not be solved for the time being. Without a sealed decree, it is useless for anyone to go, unless the Son of Heaven himself goes. Taking the Empress Dowager's decree and talisman will only backfire, and it may cause misunderstanding among the generals of the Northern Army. The Western Garden Army and the Northern Army had just merged, and the people were panicked, as long as there was a disturbance, there would be chaos immediately. If the army is uncommanded, and the generals go their own way to Luoyang City, it will be completely over.

Yuan Kui and the ministers are well aware of the current situation, and now that the general has gone on an expedition to the desert, Luoyang cannot be chaotic in any way. For the sake of the country's social welfare, the most important thing at present is to quickly stabilize the situation in Luoyang, and the future can only be said in the future. The debate among the ministers mainly focused on whether to control the northern army first or save the Son of Heaven first.

If the Son of Heaven can be rescued first, the matter of the Northern Army will be solved, but the problem is that the Queen Mother will not allow the North Palace to be killed by force because of the safety of the Son of Heaven. Since you can't use force, you have to send someone to Beigong to negotiate with ** eunuch. **Eunuch is already desperate, Zhang Rang will not release the Son of Heaven easily, and the negotiations will not yield results in the short term.

Han Fu said: "How many days can Luoyang's affairs be hidden? The Northern Army is merging with the Xiyuan Army, and they have to go to the General's Mansion every day to report the situation to the General, and they will know that something happened in Luoyang by tomorrow morning at the latest. ”

He Hao said: "The Northern Army must have known that something had happened in Luoyang. How could we not know that we suddenly closed the city gates in the afternoon, and they were so close at hand? If they don't hear from the general tomorrow morning, they may have to besiege Luoyang City. ”

Some ministers thought that if the northern army did not get any news, they would never dare to leave the camp. The generals of the Northern Army would not risk rebellion and send troops to Luoyang City. They insisted on saving the Son of Heaven first.

The opposing ministers believed that it was better to deal with the threat of the northern army first. Could it be that Zhang Rang still dared to kill the Son of Heaven?

Yuan Kui didn't want to waste time, so he immediately proposed a solution, allowing Dong Zhuo to lead his army into Hangu Pass, and surround Ding Yuan, Wang Kuang and others to be optimistic about dealing with the current crisis. Yuan Kui said: "Let's solve the problem of the Northern Army first. After surrounding the Northern Army, we sent Zhu Jun and other three adults to Pingxian to announce the decree with the Empress Dowager's decree to stabilize the morale of the soldiers of the Northern Army. After the crisis of the Northern Army is resolved, we will continue to solve the matter of Zhang Rang Duan Jue's abduction of the Son of Heaven. However, we can send someone to Beigong to talk to Zhang Rang now. ”

Lu Zhi said, I'll go, I'll talk to him.

Although the ministers also raised their own concerns about the optimism of the military siege, there are so many things to worry about now that the ministers have no time to take care of them. Now that the Son of Heaven is coerced, the Queen Mother is too frightened to govern, the general is gone, Lord Taiwei is in Youzhou, Situ and Sikong are vacant, and Jiuqing is only Liuqing here, and the entire Han Kingdom has the final say on Taifu Yuan Kui. Since he has decided, the others don't want to say anything more, it's just a waste of time.

"Lord Yuan will continue to be in charge of the Great Si Nong Mansion." Yuan Kui stood up tired and said, "Remember, you must do everything possible to provide food and grass for the expeditionary force, and you must not cut off one day. ”

"Let's disperse, let's do their jobs tomorrow, what they should do."

Yuan Kui, Ding Gong, Liu Hong, and Lu Zhi sat in the study, looking at the dim candle flame with solemn expressions, and looked at each other speechlessly.

"Your Excellency has decided?" Ding Gong asked in a low voice.

"How can I live up to the trust of the emperor?" Yuan Kui smiled bitterly, "The four of us discussed carefully that day, and we can only use the hands of others to depose the dethronement, and we are not capable of completing it on our own. Although the ministers all know what awaits us in the future if we don't depose the young emperor, how many people in the court can agree to it? Zhang Wen, Cui Lie, Ma Riyan, Huangfu Song, Zhu Jun, Yang Biao, etc., how many of them are willing to bear this eternal infamy? ”

"Forcing the Empress Dowager He to return to power, depose the young emperor, and re-establish a new monarch, the benefits to the Great Han State are obvious, at least within ten years, there will be no more eunuchs and relatives, so the Great Han Kingdom can get ten years of recuperation." Lu Zhi sighed, "So, for the sake of this decade, we will not hesitate to break our bones." ”

"The most critical at the moment is the Northern Army. As long as the Northern Army is in hand, we can control the situation in Luoyang. After the new emperor succeeds to the throne, we can join forces with Li Wei of Hedong and Huangfu Song of Chang'an to force him out of the capital. It's just that I didn't expect Zhang Rang to be so vicious that he robbed the seal at this time. Now we are helpless, and Luoyang has greatly increased its variables. ”

"Luoyang's variables are indeed very big, I think, should you let Huangfu Song and Li Wei arrive in Luoyang earlier?" Ding Gong said.

"Nope." Yuan Kui shook his hand and said, "If Luoyang doesn't have a chance, he won't be fooled." At the right time, we can sacrifice a part of the West Park Army. ”

"What are we going to do if the future is out of our control?" Liu Hong asked worriedly.

"The first emperor has already made arrangements." Yuan Kui sighed softly, "The first emperor has seen everything and thought of everything, he will help us." ”
