Chapter 46: The government and the opposition shake (2)
When Emperor Ling was in a dilemma, he suddenly remembered that the father-in-law He Zhen was also trapped in a thief. He was quick to learn and changed the topic: "Zhang Rang was not clear about the people, and it was a trivial matter. I have to deal with it myself. Now the father-in-law is trapped in a thief camp, and he is in danger, but his physical affairs are very important. What good strategies do all the ministers have to save the life of the father-in-law?"
He Miao replied: "Although my father was trapped in a thief camp, he had no worries about his life for the time being, but..."
The Ling Emperor said anxiously: "How about that?"
He Miao said, "However, the thief chief Ma Yue spoke. If he could not drive 2,000 military horses to Wancheng within ten days, his father's orders would be over."
Emperor Ling said: "Isn't it just 2,000 military horses? Just give it to him! A few days ago, Geng Bi, the governor of Liangzhou, just sent a batch of Western Liang military horses, so he could drive it away."
He Jin hurriedly left the squad and said, "Your Majesty, you can't. These 2,000 Xiliang military horses are prepared to form the Xiyuan Cavalry Battalion, and you must not miss state affairs for your father."
Emperor Ling disagreed and said, "You are a small matter in the military and horses, but Geng Bi is going to offer another batch. The father-in-law's life is now a big deal, so he must not neglect it. The general should not worry too much. Just do this."
He Jin said tragically: "I am not responsible for taking care of my sons, and the cause of my father's disaster is to be unfilial. I drive the army and horses to exchange for my father's orders. It is to abolish national affairs because of family affairs. It is to be unfaithful. Your Majesty intends to trap the ministers in a place of unfaithful and unfilial. I have no face to stand between heaven and earth anymore, and now I can only die!"
After saying that, He Jin took the first two steps and pulled out the Jinwu sword in front of the hall and crossed it over his neck, intending to commit suicide.
The Emperor Ling was shocked and shook his hands in a hurry, saying, "General, don't be impulsive. Everything is easy to discuss, everything is easy to discuss."
All the civil and military officials in the hall were all disgusted and sighed in their hearts. The general was known for his filial piety. He once sucked sores for his father without being stinky. Now he is unwilling to abolish state affairs because of family affairs, and even threatened the emperor with his death. He is truly the style of a national scholar.
He Jin said in a sarcastic manner: "Your Majesty will not ask for the matter of driving the army to save your father again, so I will give up."
The Spirit Emperor said anxiously: "What should I do?"
When Emperor Ling was in a hurry, Sikong Yuan Feng suddenly came out to report: "Your Majesty, I have a plan, which may save the father-in-law from the country and relieve the general's concerns."
Emperor Ling said happily: "Your dear, come on."
Yuan Fengzheng was dressed and said calmly: "I have heard that there is a strange thing in the world called Badou. Horses eat it and they will not stop diarrhea and cannot move. It is better to take advantage of the opportunity of offering military horses and use Badou as forage. The bandits do not know how powerful they are, so they should feed them with Badou. In this way, 2,000 military horses will not only not be used by the bandits, but will become a burden. If a tiger general is obtained at this time, thousands of elite soldiers will be led to a hurry, and eight hundred bandits will be defeated."
Emperor Ling sighed, "It's wonderful, it's wonderful! This plan is very wonderful and I'm very hearted. I really don't believe in my wishes, and the father-in-law will be saved."
Yuan Feng responded calmly: "If the father-in-law is indeed saved, I will not dare to take credit."
Lingdi Qi said: "Why is this?"
Yuan Feng replied, "I am not sure about it. This plan was offered by a little dog. At first, I thought it was too vulgar and difficult to enter the elegant hall, so I denounced it. Now, thinking about Your Majesty's urgent and General's worries, I remembered it first, so I offered my advice."
Emperor Ling disagreed and said, "What's the point of this plan so exquisite? If the father-in-law is saved, the son should remember the first merit."
Yuan Feng said: "This is just a trick of being a scammer, and it is not worth mentioning. However, if you want to save the country, you need a tiger general to lead an elite army."
Emperor Ling said: "Do you have a suitable candidate for your dear?"
Yuan Feng said: "I would like to ask Your Majesty to judge you. I really dare not speak nonsense."
He Jindao: "Since this plan was offered by the Lord Sikong, why not take Yuan Shu as the general and lead three thousand tigers to Nanyang?"
Emperor Ling slapped his thigh and said happily: "What the general said is very consistent with my wish! He issued an order to be promoted to the Central Army Captain Yuan Shu as General of the Hu Ben, led the prefect of Nanyang, led the army to 5,000 troops, and took 2,000 Western Liang horses to Wancheng, and wanted to save the father-in-law and defeat 800 bandits. I am here!"
He Jin and Yuan Feng bowed down Dan Ji at the same time and called out to the emperor's wise three times. At this point, Zhang Rangshi suddenly realized that He Jin and Yuan Feng were clearly acting in a good show, but he was hit by the plan of two people's attacks. However, the emperor's golden mouth was already open and the road was already complete. It was too late to save it again, and he couldn't help but grit his teeth with hatred.
Situ Yuan Wei was unyielding and came forward to me and said, "Your Majesty, Zhang Rang's observation is unknown..."
Emperor Ling frowned and said, "Forget it, I'm tired, and that's all for today's court discussion."
Zhang Rang was excited, straightened his back and shouted loudly: "Today's court proposal ends here, all officials will be dismissed from court~~"
All civil and military officials retreated one after another. When they were about to leave the hall, He Jin and Yuan Feng looked at each other and smiled, and everything was silent.
...
The lights are on, and although there are ice and snow outside, there are bells and banquets in the Red Chamber, singing and dancing.
Because his beloved son Yuan Shu was promoted to the General of the Hu Ben and was sent to the prefect of Nanyang, Sikong Yuan Feng feasted with relatives and friends in the Red Chamber. At this time, it was the time when the atmosphere was the strongest. The atmosphere was quite open in the Han Dynasty, and it was common for officials and nobles to call prostitutes at home to invite guests or even hold banquets in the brothels.
Cai Yong was drinking and suddenly saw that the minister Wang Yun was missing beside him, and he couldn't help but ask, "Why did you disappear from Zishi again?"
Situ Yuan Wei smiled and said, "It must be my go looking for his cicada again."
Cai Yongqi said: "Is this cicada really a child who looks as if she is ashamed of the moon? What makes Master Zi so obsessed?"
Yuan Wei replied: "Bo Yi didn't know that this Miss Chaner is a wonderful person. She only performed her skills through the curtains and never met anyone. Only a few close friends such as Zishi were lucky enough to see her beauty. In the past, Zishi once joked that she was lucky enough to see her beauty. Although she died, she had no regrets. This shows how beautiful this Miss Chaner is, which is fascinating."
"I am lucky to see the cicada's face now. Although I die without regrets? I die without regrets!"
Cai Yong pondered for a few moments, and his face suddenly showed a look of fascination.
...
In the backyard of the Red Mansion, on the vast lotus pond, in the elegant pavilion of the Jingshe.
A woman with a beautiful dress in a jade-faced snow fu, with a graceful figure, slowly bowed to the ground and said crisply: "Miss, Chan'er just learned that something big happened in the court today."
Inside the pearl curtain, the charming voice asked quietly, "What's the big deal?"
Chan'er said: "For one thing, one person, General He Jin and Sikong Yuan Feng's party, and the tenth eunuch Zhang Rang's party almost turned against him."
"What is it? Who is it?"
"A group of the Yellow Turbans in Nanyang raised their flags and claimed to be 800 bandits. They swept through Nanyang under the leadership of the leader Ma Yue, occupying Wancheng again, and even kidnapped the father of General He Jin. Today's father-in-law He Zhen, that Ma Yue also made a harsh remark, claiming that if He Jin could not drive 2,000 military horses to Wancheng for exchange within ten days, he would kill He Zhen."
“What’s the result?”
"As a result, He Jin and Yuan Feng had a double act. Zhang Rang suffered a loss for some reason. Now Yuan Feng's son Yuan Shu was promoted to General of the Hu Ben, and was released from the prefect of Nanyang, leading the army, and supporting He Jin in the court. The life of the Ten Generals and One Party is probably even more sad."
"That's not necessarily true. I expect Zhang Rang's party to fight back soon."
Chan'er said: "What's amazing is that this horse Yue captured Wancheng with only 800 people. He dared to make ground on Tai Sui's head to threaten the current general, and he had 2,000 military horses at the beginning of his mouth."
"Ma Yue? Eight hundred bandits? Are there really only eight hundred people!?"
"Miss, the document is clearly written. There are indeed only 800 bandits, and at most no more than 1,000 people. However, it has turned the whole of Nanyang upside down. Thousands of Nanyang soldiers who were siege and intercepted were defeated repeatedly and were beaten to pieces. Even the Nanyang Prefect Qin Jie was caught in the trap for many times. After being angry and hated, he even pleaded blood. After his death, his body was designed and used by Ma Yue and occupied Wancheng, the capital of Nanyang County.
In the pearl curtain, the graceful figure stood up suddenly, and the charming and soft voice became solemn.
"There is such a person in the Yellow Turban Army in Nanyang! Such a bandit!?"
"Miss, do you need to send someone to contact Ma Yue?"
"No!"
In the hazy state, the man in the curtain shook his head.
Chan'er said in confusion: "Miss?"
Chapter completed!
