Chapter 157: The Noble Clan
Chen Lin, a famous writer in the late Eastern Han Dynasty, one of the "Seven Sons of Jian'an". When he was Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty, he was the master of the uncle and general He Jin, and his political opinions were quite clever.
The modern meaning of the main book is a secretary and an assistant.
He Jin admired Chen Lin's talent, and took him as a confidant, so he asked: "Qin Feng's actions are intended to show favor to me, what he said about the prince is quite strange, what do you think?" ”
Chen Lin pondered for a while and said: "General, the Yellow Gate has been serving for a long time, and after they killed the Empress Dowager Dou and her family, they welcomed the Empress Dowager Dong into the palace and committed adultery with her. However, since the death of his mother Wang Meiren, the prince has been raised by the Empress Dowager Dong, who regards it as her own. If it is ...... one day in the future, if the Empress Dowager Dong and the eunuchs cooperate to assist the prince, then what Qin Feng said will come true nine times out of ten...... ”
He Jin was shocked when he heard this, his sister was the queen of the dynasty, gave birth to a prince, and regarded him as a foreigner, so he was a noble relative. And the prince association, depending on the Dong family as a foreign family, the Empress Dowager Dong and the Dong family for the sake of power, it is inevitable to assist the prince association in the future.
The fight for the throne has its own strange schemes, and no one will back down, even if there is only a slight chance, they will fight to the end.
He Jin hadn't thought of this before, but at this time, because of Qin Feng's words, he began to face up to this matter. He made up his mind that he must expand the shili, kill the eunuchs, and assist his nephew to ascend to the throne in the future. Then he said: "I should consider this matter in the long run, and I must not let the Dong family have a chance." Kong Zhang, what do you think of this Qin Feng? ”
Chen Lin said: "The general controls the military power of the country, and he should take charge of the imperial authority and rectify the dynasty." However, if it is necessary to destroy the eunuchs first, then you should recruit wise and resourceful people for your own use. This Qin Feng has the name of benevolence and righteousness to spread to the world, and recently there are words in Luoyang, saying that Cai Yong has married his daughter to Qin Feng. Mr. Cai is the leader of the scholar clan, and Qin Feng's marriage with him will inevitably be accepted by the family. The general and unstoppable from the door chilled the hearts of the corporal in the world. ”
He Jin nodded from his words and said, "Tomorrow's court meeting, since this Qin Feng has this heart, I should have another plan...... ”
……
On the court of the coming day, hundreds of officials lined up, and when they saw Emperor Ling's face happy, they all thought about it.
Emperor Ling said happily: "The day before yesterday, Jizhou transferred good news, Qin Feng killed Zhang Liang in a battle, and recovered Guangzong City, and the Yellow Turban of Jizhou was flattened ....... ”
"What a gratifying congratulations!"
The Yellow Turban rebelled, and when he went to one place, he would kill all the local families. All the officials in the court are from big families, and they celebrate when they hear the rumors.
Zhang Rang shook the dust behind Emperor Ling, and was about to express Qin Feng's merits, saying: "Qin Feng's previous repeated defeats were a trick to lure the enemy, and this time he defeated the Yellow Turban, and Bixia should be rewarded for his military exploits, thinking that he was a model ......in the world." ”
He Jin got Qin Feng's money, and knew that he had the intention of serving himself, so he also took the opportunity to show his military exploits. After thinking of the possibility of the prince competing for the throne in the future, He Jin was even more jealous of the eunuchs, and at this moment, he was very unhappy when he saw that the eunuchs were also making contributions to Qin Feng.
However, accepting Qin Feng for his own use has been decided, so he went out and played: "Qiqi bixia, although Qin Feng has won, he has been defeated repeatedly, and it is an indisputable fact that the loss of troops will be defeated. The merits and demerits are offset by the order, and it is ordered to continue to lead the troops to attack the Yellow Turban rebels in Youzhou immediately, and if there are new merits, it is not too late to be rewarded. ”
When Yuan Kui on the other side heard this, his heart sank. Secretly said: "What is He Jin doing?" Has he forgotten about my nephew Yuan Shao? Seeing He Jin turn his head, he asked with his eyes.
When He Jin saw his eyes, he already had a plan in his heart, so he turned a blind eye.
Zhang Rang, who was behind Emperor Ling, had obtained a lot of Qin Feng's wealth, and it would be embarrassing if he couldn't get a reward for him. Then he said: "What the general said is biased. Qin Feng beheaded Zhang Liang, forced Zhang Jiao to death, pacified Jizhou, no one in the court generals came out of the right, if the court was stingy with rewards, it would definitely chill the hearts of the generals to make meritorious contributions, and it would ......be unfavorable to the future war. ”
Yuan Kui hurriedly went out of class and said: "Qiyu bixia, although Qin Feng has made many military exploits, he has already been listed with the two generals Huangfu Song and Zhu Jun...... ”
This is only half of the story, but the last half can be imagined.
"I have already been listed with the old general Huangfu Song...... Emperor Ling nodded when he heard this, and said, "Since this is the case, I will order Qin Feng to continue to march into Youzhou and encircle and suppress Zhang Bao's rebels." Zhang Rang, you choose a mansion on Zhuque Street and give it to Qin Feng, so it should be regarded as his reward for this meritorious service. ”
The Son of Heaven has decided, who dares to say more, and all the people in the court will be good together.
He Jin encircled Qin Feng, and he couldn't snub Yuan Kui, so he said: "The day before yesterday, General Zhu Jun broke Wancheng, and the Yellow Turban anti-thieves gained power, only Zhang Bao from Youzhou remained, and the rest were no longer to be feared. The imperial court soldiers and horses can already be turned, and when a support army is sent to Jizhou, together with Qin Feng, they will attack the Yellow Turban thieves in Youzhou. ”
In just half a year, millions of thieves were wiped out, every time he thought of this, Emperor Ling was very complacent, and he felt that his world was as stable as a rock, his courtiers were talented, and his exploits were comparable to those of the Han Dynasty. said with a smile: "What Aiqing said is exactly what I want, you wait to tell me, who should I send?" ”
Most of the officials did not have the right to speak out, and they were all silent.
He Jin arched his hand and said: "Qi Bixia, Yulin Captain Yuan Shao, is proficient in the art of war, quite powerful, and worthy of this important task." ”
When Yuan Kui heard this, he calmed down, and in order to avoid suspicion, he retreated.
The eunuch group is only a minister, and there are no capable people outside. Therefore, Zhang Rang knew that it was inappropriate, and he was helpless about this candidate.
Those who can recruit and fight are all leading troops outside, and Emperor Ling in the court can't think of other candidates, so he asked, "What do you Aiqing think?" ”
He Jin is a foreign noble, and the civil and military officials need to rely on him to fight against the eunuch group, how can they refute his face, not to mention that this Yuan Shao is not someone else, but the nephew of the third prince Yuan Kui, so they are all good.
Seeing that no one objected, Emperor Ling smiled and said, "In this case, He Aiqing quickly dispatched reinforcements to the north. After the Yellow Turban Rebellion is calmed down, I will celebrate ...... with you in this palace. ”
The civil and military officials sang about the exploits of Emperor Ling, which was comparable to the Guangwu of the Han Dynasty. In the tide of praise, Emperor Ling returned to the palace triumphantly.
He Jin was also satisfied, Yuan Kui was also satisfied, Zhang Rang got a lot of Qin Feng's property, and settled He Jin's calculations for him, and also invited a reward, so this court meeting ended happily on the surface.
In the middle of Suzaku Street, there is a mansion, covering an area of more than 100 acres, with hundreds of courtyards, which is the premier mansion on Suzaku Street.
When Yuan Kui returned to the house, he passed by this mansion every time, and said to his confidants: "Qin Feng is really an outlier, and he will stand above the court in a short time, if he has any more military exploits, he will definitely be above us in the future." Since then, he has the heart to start curbing Qin Feng's development.
On Suzaku Street, people live in high-ranking families. Qin Feng's reputation further spread to the world, and these big families became neighbors. He began to be accepted by these neighbors, and in the politics of the Han Dynasty, he entered the ranks of wealthy families.
Qin Feng didn't know at this time that he had really stepped onto the stage of Han politics, because he didn't understand politics in the first place.
However, he vaguely felt that he had gotten more awe from Xun Yu, which was a good thing for him.
A month and a half passed, and it was already October 184 AD.
In history, the Yellow Turban Rebellion was put down in November, and Qin Feng did not change much of the historical course at this time. The only difference is that Zhang Bao is not in Quyang at the moment.
The main hall of Guangzong City County Shoufu, Qin Feng sits high in the south, Huangfu Song and Cao Cao on the left, and Xun Yu Gaoshun on the right.
The yellow scarves are in decline, and the counterinsurgency is just around the corner, so everyone has a smile on their faces.
Xun Yu said: "General, the reinforcements will arrive today, and the first Yellow Turban Thief in Youzhou will gather 150,000 soldiers and horses in Zhuo County." However, he is already alone, and when my army arrives, he will gather soldiers and horses from all sides in Youzhou, and a battle will be decided. ”
In Xun Yu's heart, Qin Feng was already a rising upstart of the scholar clan. The day before yesterday, news came from the Xun family, asking him to assist Qin Feng with his heart, so that he could make friends with him and benefit the development of the family in the future.
"Ladies and gentlemen, we will replace wine with tea, and wish this expedition success!" Qin Feng raised his glass and said. He was thinking in his heart again, end the Yellow Turban Rebellion as soon as possible, pick the fruit and go back to enjoy the blessings, go home, celebrate the New Year, and marry a daughter-in-law!
Everyone raised their glasses, if they knew Qin Feng's true thoughts in his heart, it was estimated that he would be choked to death by a sip of tea.
"Report to the ......, general, the 50,000 troops of the imperial court have arrived outside the south gate."
As soon as Qin Feng put down his wine glass, a small school came to report.
