"Heaven has no way to take it, but he will suffer the blame; when the time comes, he will not do it, but he will suffer the disaster." [Historical Records, Volume 92, Biography of the Marquis of Huaiyin]
You have six seals, all of which are jade and tiger buttons. The inscriptions underneath are 'Emperor's Seal', 'Emperor's Letter' and 'Emperor's Seal'. They are all sealed with Wudu purple clay. Different seals have different characteristics.
The role of the seal can only be stamped on the corresponding imperial edict. If stamped incorrectly, it will be deemed invalid. For example, the emperor's letter seal can only be used on the imperial edict for dispatching troops. These six jade seals and the addition of these six jade seals have been handed down since the Qin Dynasty to the present day.
The imperial seal passed down by the He family is the Seven Seals of the Emperor.
There was a chaos in the Luoyang Palace that year, and the imperial seal, which symbolized the emperor's legitimacy, was lost, but the six imperial seals, which had the effect of imperial power, were brought safely to Chang'an by Dong Zhuo. Since Wang Yun and others made an appointment to write the imperial edict while staying overnight,
Therefore, we had already agreed that Fu Jie Ling would borrow the emperor's seal and other related things to temporarily put them on the chancellery table. Unexpectedly, it would be convenient for the emperor at this time. Now the emperor's official seal, which is used to honor officials, is placed on the side of the box.
But Shisun Rui obviously didn't want to touch it yet. Although the emperor's important use of Geshun made him moved, he still had other concerns.
He bowed his head and said: "I understand that your Majesty wants to accomplish great things as soon as possible. As the saying goes, 'Haste makes waste'. I had earlier drafted an imperial edict based on King Situ's suggestion and ordered Lu Bu to command the armies of Chang'an. If this happens again,
According to His Majesty's instructions, we have prepared another plan. If the two edicts conflict, I'm afraid it will cause unnecessary trouble."
"Has the imperial edict been issued to Lu Bu?"
Yang Zan answered: "Yes, it was taken outside the palace by Shi Liu Ai, the chief of Taishi Palace, half an hour ago."
"Early tomorrow morning, as Wang Situ and you have discussed, Gaishun will cooperate with Lu Bu to arrange an ambush in advance at the North Palace Gate. After seeing Dong Zhuo's execution with his own eyes, he will immediately come to the announcement room and drive out of the South Palace Gate with Wang Bin.
Xu Rong's garrison is in Nancheng, closest to the Nangong Gate. Wang Bin and Gaishun will go straight into the camp and announce the pardon and transfer orders." The emperor paused and continued to talk about the way to break the situation that he had been thinking about these days; "Hu Zhen,
Yang Ding's troops are all in the North City. Considering the distance and the number of soldiers, it is impossible for Lu Bu to go to the Nancheng to declare the imperial edict first, so he has to go to the North City first and then to the Nancheng."
At this point, Shisun Rui had already understood. It was nothing more than making a time difference to create the established facts first and get Xu Rong's 3,000 men who were easier to grasp. As for the situation that was completely different from the content of the imperial edict in Lu Bu's hands, the emperor saw that
He had his own plans when he went up, and this was something that Shisun Rui could not dissuade.
When the scholar Sun Rui finished writing the imperial edicts one by one, stamped the seals, and handed them to Wang Bin for personal preservation, he couldn't help but look at the calm-looking emperor, who was able to gather Wang Bin, Yang Qi and others around him in a short period of time.
People, and came up with strategies to take back power, showing the emperor's thoughtfulness and extraordinary intelligence. Is such an emperor good or bad for the world? Unknowingly, Shisun Rui had feelings for Yang Qi.
had the same worries.
It was getting late, so the emperor yawned and returned to the propaganda room to rest under the constant urging of Shisun Rui and others. After everyone left, Shisun Rui and Yang Zan sat opposite each other in silence. Yang Zan felt something in his heart.
Gui didn't dare to take the initiative to speak, but Shisun Rui sighed, half sighing and half helpless: "It's such an eventful time!"
Shisun Ruipi said with a smile: "I'm afraid the Minister has known about today's matter for a long time, right? I don't know if it's worth wading through this muddy water."
"The matter has come to this, it is useless to talk more." Yang Zan raised his eyes and glanced at Shisun Rui. He knew that there was no turning back. Since he had boarded the emperor's pirate ship, he could not give up halfway. The emperor was a man with skills and great ambitions.
, Yang Zan believed that he would not be so stupid that he only knew how to fight for power when the Han Dynasty was in decline. This was also an important reason why he made up his mind to serve. And he believed that Shisun Rui should think the same way.
As expected by Yang Zan, Shi Sunrui suppressed his smile and said seriously: "Your Majesty is so handsome and has the talent to revitalize the country. We should be able to assist you, and we are worthy of it."
This is making excuses for betraying the alliance between Wang Yun and the others. It is high-sounding, and ministers assist ministers, which sounds unfair, but it is natural for ministers to assist a wise king. Yang Zan admires the speed of transformation of Yu Shisun Rui, and is very different from others.
Scholar Sun Rui responded in unison: "That's right. Although your Majesty succeeded to the throne at a young age, he did not have a queen mother to listen to the government, no relatives to the generals, and no ministers to issue imperial edicts. Dong Zhuo was so powerful that he had to become a relative of the Queen Mother Dong. The king
If Situ wants to take charge of the government, without these names, it will be difficult for him to gain a foothold."
"Executing Dong Gong is in Sheji. Wang Situ has both fame and power. There must be no one who refuses to take charge of the government." Shisun Rui then said, as if sighing: "But who could have imagined that His Majesty has been in confinement for a long time, and it is just a matter of silence, and he has become a blockbuster.
, Wang Situ will probably be wronged in the court from now on."
Yang Zan smiled when he heard this and said no more.
At this time, in the military camp next to the Taishi Mansion, Lu Bu was handing over the imperial edict to Liu Ai. Liu Ai was cautious by nature. After getting the imperial edict and leaving the palace, he deliberately waited for a while before going to look for Lu Bu. Unexpectedly, Lu Bu was impatient and saw Liu Ai late.
When he arrived, he couldn't help scolding him: "Liu Changshi, it's too late! It will be dawn in two hours, and the troops will be mobilized by then, and the handover will be even more troublesome for you and me."
Liu Ai knew in his heart that he was relying on Lu Bu at this time and could not forgive him. He could only hold back the discomfort in his heart and forced a smile and said: "I was the one who caused the delay. Please forgive me. This is the imperial edict issued by the minister's desk. You can borrow it tomorrow."
This is an order for the three armies to kill the treacherous ministers. From now on, all the enfeoffments and mansions will be made here. I would like to congratulate you on your success!"
Lu Bu quickly took the imperial edict, and after scanning it briefly, he was immediately beaming with joy; firstly, after many days of planning and forbearance, he was finally able to kill Dong Zhuo and let out his evil spirit; secondly, he was looking forward to having a large number of troops in the future and being majestic. Liu Ai was a royal relative, and he was also a scholar of the gentry.
, At this time, Lu Bu was given enough face. Lu Bu is not a stupid person, how can he not know the principle of respecting me and giving you a foot? He lowered his voice and said to Liu Ai: "Okay, okay! The ministers and I finally came forward.
On that day, when the Han Dynasty is revived and helps the world, we need to work together."
Liu Ai heard the implication of Lu Bu's words. Although he looked down on people like Lu Bu who were seeking glory behind his master's side, he was very submissive to him: "What the Lord said is true! From now on, he will definitely be indispensable in the court and at home.
Rely on the great power of the king!"
The two held hands and talked for half an hour. Lu Bu was speechless when he was happy. He was very proud to see Liu Ai's respectful and respectful attitude toward him. He got carried away and even wanted to match his brother, so Liu Ai was
I was shocked. Fortunately, the cavalry captain Li Su brought Qin Yi, Chen Wei, Li Hei and more than ten of his subordinates to ask for his resignation, saying that he would go to Beigong Gate to meet Gaishun as planned and replace him.
The guards were stationed behind closed doors, waiting for Dong Zhuo to pass by early tomorrow morning, and then took the opportunity to attack.
Li Su, the Cavalry Captain, came from Wuyuan County with Lu Bu. He once served with him under Zhijin Wu Dingyuan. Later, he worked for Dong Zhuo with Lu Bu. He also followed Lu Bu's steps and obeyed his orders. These dozen or so soldiers were all subordinates.
The old man brought by Wuyuan Sangzi was the best choice in terms of loyalty and ability. Lu Bu said a few words to be careful tomorrow, and promised everyone a generous reward, so he asked Li Su to retreat.
Liu Ai didn't want to stay here for a long time, so he took the opportunity to resign after Li Su left.
At this time, a guest house in the Taishi Mansion was also lit with lights. The smelly Taoist priest who had been driven out by Tian Jing during the day appeared again in Tian Jing's room, opening the window and watching the stars.
"The auxiliary star is bright and close, so the auxiliary fight is successful. This is the sign of the prime minister." He murmured to himself, wandering in the dark night sky intoxicated.
When Tian Jing heard this, he said happily: "I heard that 'if the supporting star is bright, the minister will be strong.' When you just said that the celestial phenomena were different, did you mean that tomorrow the grand master must take a further step?"
The old man had not yet answered. Seeing Tian Jing justifying his explanation, he was immersed in his own explanation and did not criticize it. However, his indifferent expression was completely different from the timid look he had during the day. Tian Jing seemed to be unaware, and he was pacing back and forth.
Every step of the way, my mind went back and forth. Dong Zhuo had long wanted to be called Shang Father and be granted the title of Duke. As the closest subordinate to Dong Zhuo, Tian Jing knew very well what Dong Zhuo wanted in his heart. Yihuo was not his.
The goal, Duke Mang of Anhan, was Dong Zhuo’s real pursuit.
I thought that in order to follow Wang Mang's old path of becoming a duke and regent, Dong Zhuo did not hesitate to make up false rumors to slander the emperor in order to force Wang Yun and others to surrender. Unexpectedly, Wang Yun's position in this regard was extremely firm, and Dong Zhuo was touched
Nail. But even so, Dong Zhuo still plans to launch an attack in the court tomorrow and force the court to issue an edict. Tian Jing's heart is full of passion. As the staunchest supporter around Dong Zhuo, when Wang Yun does not agree with his wishes and repeatedly disobeys, after tomorrow
, he must become a minister that Dong Zhuo really relies on. It is absolutely necessary to enter the minister's desk and pay homage to the nine ministers.
As for Wang Yun, he thought he was noble and insisted on being buried with the Han Dynasty. He was resented by the imperial master without knowing it, and he will suffer from him in the future.
After thinking about it, Tian Jing saw that the old man was still looking at the celestial phenomena, and he didn't look like he was leaving. He couldn't help but said: "It's getting late, you should go back first, and don't go out these days to avoid getting into trouble."
The old Taoist finally came to his senses, nodded and bowed, and returned to his timid appearance during the day. He thanked Tian Jing, received the reward, and then retreated. When he reached a deserted alley, a group of people suddenly appeared in front of the old Taoist.
This group of strong-looking people had been waiting here for a long time. The old Taoist obviously knew about this, and there was no surprise on his face. The leader stepped forward, clasped his fists at the old Taoist and said: "Sir, why did the dog officer keep you for so long?
thing?"
"It's nothing more than talking in sleep in front of an idiot to make him happy." The old Taoist stood with his hands behind his hands and looked up at the stars again. Today's stars made him particularly puzzled. He had not been able to see them because of the rain and clouds in the past few days. Now the weather
It was clear, but he was greatly surprised when he saw it. It would be an exaggeration to say that the sky was in chaos.
The leader knew that the old Taoist knew astrology, wind angle and other divination techniques, and his skills were superb and convincing. Seeing the old Taoist's serious face, he couldn't help but ask: "Sir, what's wrong with the horoscope today?"
"
The old Taoist glanced at the man and said: "The auxiliary star is bright, the Bixing star is dark, and the minister will die tomorrow. This was originally an inference many days ago, but the Ziwei star suddenly shined brightly, which I didn't expect, and I didn't even know about it.
It’s really hard to predict how many variables have occurred.”
