With the help of the Yuan family, He Jin called on some capable qi gazing magicians in his house to hold a meeting, asking them to find a reason that would allow him to reasonably summon soldiers from all directions to Luoyang to increase his power.
Moreover, it must be related to Chen Wei, and there must not be too obvious signs such as "the general wants to compete with the emperor for power." It is best to have the endorsement of the ancients, and then even if the emperor is aware of it, he cannot blatantly blame him.
This is the best thing.
To be honest, this requirement is actually very difficult and very harsh, but there have been such "imperial literati" since ancient times. It is said that they learned literature and martial arts in the emperor's family. If the skills they learned are not put to use at this time, why should the people of the emperor's family be used?
What about your salary?
So He Jin's horoscope warlocks exerted the spirit of Foolish Old Man to Move Mountains, read ancient books everywhere, looked up the successful cases left by their predecessors, and brainstormed every day, not to mention nine, nine, six, zero and seven, just to solve the problem as quickly as possible.
The needs of the general.
Finally, with their unremitting efforts, they finally planned a perfect counterattack plan for He Jin.
The fortune tellers will come up with a celestial observation result, which is that the stars that symbolize the palace and the royal family are more dangerous, emit strange lights, and show signs of collision. They suspect that there will be a military disaster in the capital, and the two palaces will bleed for this reason.
It's a very bad omen.
Of course, this is not something that cannot be dealt with. There are solutions for all this.
The ancient book that serves as an endorsement is called "Six Tao", which is rumored to be written by Jiang Ziya. "Six Tao" has a saying that "the emperor can command the military affairs of the four directions and can coerce the four directions." Therefore, the emperor needs to command the troops of the four directions to perform martial arts. In this way,
You can respond to celestial phenomena and turn bad luck into good luck.
As long as He Jin mentioned this statement to Liu Hong, Liu Hong would have nothing to say, and then He Jin could openly recruit soldiers from all directions to support him and come to Luoyang to become his support.
In the future, as long as we think of other ways to hack this army, it will become an established fact.
Didn't Liu Hong want to restrict He Jin's military power?
I'll build another army, and I'll see how you restrict me!
But in fact, this statement is quite reluctant.
There is only one sentence related to it in the chapter of Liu Tao [King Wu said: "I want to make the people of the three armies kiss their generals like parents, be angry when they hear the sound of gold, and be happy when they hear the sound of drums. What can I do?"], which is consistent with this.
The opinions put forward by He Jin's qi-seeking magicians cannot be said to be exactly the same, they can only be said to be very different.
But it doesn't matter, that's what it means. Anyway, Liu Hong has not studied "Six Tao" in depth, let alone prophecy and fortune-telling.
Under the intimidation of the unclear prophecy theory, Liu Hong also suffered the disadvantage of being uneducated.
In order to realize this plan, in addition to creating public opinion in Luoyang City, it also required the cooperation of the Taishi Ling in the palace who was responsible for "gaining Qi" and reporting celestial phenomena to the emperor.
Only when Tai Shiling said this, Liu Hong had the greatest possibility not to obstruct He Jin's actions, and even foolishly cooperated with He Jin and jumped into the pit himself.
Coincidentally, although the current Taishi Ling is not an old official of any family, he has a good friend who is an old official of the Yuan family.
So Yuan Wei cooperated with He Jin and used his connections with Yuan's former officials to lobby Taishi Ling, and promised a certain amount of political guarantee in exchange for Taishi Ling's cooperation.
Then everything was ready and the drama began.
As the celestial phenomena changed, chaos would arise in Luoyang City. Rumors of bloodshed in the two palaces began to spread, and soon entered the palace through some less conspicuous channels.
After hearing this, Liu Hong was deeply disturbed by these mysterious and mysterious statements, and summoned Tai Shiling overnight to inquire about relevant matters.
Taishi Ling's answer made him even more uneasy.
"Although it is slightly different from the rumors, the celestial phenomena I observed are vaguely unfavorable to the two palaces. I am worried about this! Your Majesty, please make an early decision!"
After Tai Shiling said this, Liu Hong became even more uneasy.
At this moment, Liu Hong still has hope of making a comeback.
Because what Yuan and He did not expect was that all their plots would be discovered by Dongyuan secret agents controlled by Zhang Rang.
The news that someone was secretly spreading rumors and causing trouble was discovered by Dongyuan spies. Zhang Rang thought of the current situation in the capital and immediately knew that He Jin and Yuan Wei were up to something.
Later, Zhang Rang witnessed the conversation between Liu Hong and Tai Shi Ling through his own convenient identity, and knew that Tai Shi Ling was a shady man and had probably been bribed.
He continued to dig deeper into the background of this Taishi Ling, and easily found out that he had recently been in close contact with an old official of the Yuan family.
Well, Yuan Wei's plan has been discovered by Zhang Rang.
As long as he tells Liu Hong these things, Yuan Wei and He Jin's plan will fail. Liu Hong will not allow He Jin and Yuan Wei to do this. He may even attack He Jin and Yuan Wei in advance, deal with them, and give them
nice.
But Zhang Rang did not do this.
the reason is simple.
The Xiyuan Army has nothing to do with him.
He wanted to place his trusted personnel in the Xiyuan Army as captains and commanders to increase his personal military strength and ensure his personal safety, but this proposal was rejected by Liu Hong.
Among the current ten permanent servants, Liu Hong did not choose anyone. Instead, he chose Jian Shuo, who only served as the Xiaohuangmen, to be the commander of the Xiyuan Army. Later, there were also few people who were selected to serve as school captains who were related to the eunuch group.
He has a close relationship with the current Ten Permanent Attendants.
In short, Liu Hong excluded the current Shi Changshi from the control sequence of the Xiyuan Army and ensured his absolute control over the Xiyuan Army. This made the Shi Changshi puzzled, panicked and strongly moved.
dissatisfied.
They didn't know why Liu Hong did this, and they didn't know when there was such a huge crisis of trust between them and Liu Hong.
After losing He Jin, the eunuchs felt a strong sense of security crisis. They urgently needed military power to ensure their sense of security and give them some safety guarantees.
However, Liu Hong rejected their request and did not allow them to intervene in the new Xiyuan Army. He prevaricated them by saying that the emperor's soldiers would definitely protect the palace people, and the eunuchs were all protected by the Xiyuan Army, so there was no need to worry.
Obviously, the founding and formation of the Xiyuan Army could not have been achieved without the help of Shi Changshi, but the final fruits of victory were swallowed up by Liu Hong and Jian Shuo.
Shi Changshi didn't even know when Jian Shuo suddenly rose to prominence and gained Liu Hong's trust.
Under such circumstances, Zhang Rang felt a deep sense of crisis and dissatisfaction with Liu Hong, so he did not tell Liu Hong the news.
Liu Hong had no source of information, so he had no way of knowing the plans of the Yuan family and the He family, and fell into deep anxiety.
The study of prophecy helped Liu Xiu stabilize the world and swept the hearts of people all over the world. At the same time, it also planted the unpredictable seeds in the hearts of people all over the world.
But the forces of action are mutual. While the ruled are affected, the rulers who think they are smart are also unknowingly affected and infected by this reaction force.
They no longer dare to doubt or play with the science of prophecy.
Liu Hong thought about it over and over again and felt that he still needed to pay attention to this matter. If the operation was not done well, it would really cause some trouble, and he would be the unlucky one.
When Liu Hong felt strongly uneasy about this, He entered the palace to see Liu Hong, mentioned the matter to Liu Hong, and gave his own solution.
"I can summon troops from all over the world to Luoyang for review by Your Majesty. I heard that the ancients once said that the emperor's military actions can deter the four quarters. If Your Majesty agrees, I would like to send troops from all over the world to Luoyang for review by Your Majesty!"
Liu Hong felt that this matter was relatively big, so he did not give an accurate answer for a while, so he went to Taishi Ling to ask about the matter, and then got a clearer answer from Taishi Ling.
According to the experience of the ancients, the emperor's military force can indeed deter disobedience. According to the situation shown in the celestial phenomena, only the sharp "soldier spirit" can disperse the celestial phenomena that are unfavorable to the two palaces.
Liu Hong was so frightened that he thought about it and had no choice but to agree to He Jin.
So Liu Hong issued an edict, allowing He Jin to select soldiers from all over the world to come to Luoyang to be inspected by the emperor, and to perform military exercises to respond to the celestial phenomena and frighten the disloyal ministers of the world.
He Jin was overjoyed after receiving the news. He immediately dispatched his subordinates who had been prepared for a long time and asked them to go to all directions to order the deployment of troops. At the same time, he told important local military and political officials about the secret mission to Beijing to win their support.
, in order to deter Liu Xie.
Dong Zhuo's side was easy to handle, and Yuan Wei could do it with just one letter.
Dong Zhuo didn't know much about things in Luoyang City. He didn't have a good life in Bingzhou, and he was short of manpower around him, so he chose Zhang Liao, the official he had appointed after coming to Bingzhou, and Zhang Yang took him with him.
An army went to Luoyang for a military parade.
In Youzhou, Yuan Wei also came forward and obtained some troops through the channels of Yuan's old officials.
Jizhou was also easy to deal with. Han Fu, the governor of Jizhou, was an old official of the Yuan family. After Yuan Kui gave a brief explanation, he sent an army without any hindrance.
Liu Biao's task is relatively heavy.
Before setting off, He Jin informed Liu Biao and told Liu Biao that his task this time was very difficult. He needed to get the approval of the two clan governors and try to persuade them to side with the Prince Bian instead of the Prince Association.
Liu Biao himself did not approve of He Jin, but the prince behind him.
Liu Hong was doing such a big thing in Luoyang, and he understood that he was going to abolish the elders and establish younger ones. As a member of the clan, Liu Biao had entered He Jin's general's mansion many years ago, so he was certainly not happy with Liu Hong's choice.
He is still waiting to win with He Jin.
As a result, Liu Hong didn't know what had happened, but he actually wanted to abolish the elders and establish the younger ones, and abolished all his early political investment. Can this be tolerated?
Liu Biao was already a subordinate of the general, and his relationship with He Jin was already relatively close. He was basically on Liu Bian's side. For his own interests and for the stability of the inheritance of the Han Empire, Liu Biao decided to cooperate with He Jin.
