After Empress Dowager Guo returned to Beijing, she followed Qin Liang's advice and appointed Chen An as Zhongshulang. She immediately issued an edict in the name of the emperor, ordering the governors and governors of all directions to guard their posts on the spot and guard against foreign enemies.
King Qin's army has already taken control of Luoyang. At this time, if the princes raise their troops again, it will have no effect. Sima Yi is captured. If they gather their troops again, who should they deal with?
The next day, Empress Dowager Guo ordered Wang Feixiao to be the commander-in-chief of the Yangzhou military forces, and selected more than 20,000 foreign troops to go south to Shouchun to replace Wang Ling and take charge of the main battlefield on the Eastern Front in a timely manner.
He also summoned Taiwei Wang Ling to Luoyang to discuss matters. The previous edict appointing Wang Ling as Taiwei was in the name of the emperor, so Wang Ling was still Taiwei for the time being. Personnel matters in the court would have to be discussed together after Wang Ling arrived.
Qin Liang, Linghuyu, Wang Feixiao, and Wang Jinhu had no objection to this arrangement, and Qin Liang also convinced Empress Dowager Guo.
At this time, only by recalling Wang Ling to assist the government can we consolidate the fruits captured on the battlefield as much as possible!
To exercise power smoothly, some political consensus is needed. In the current Wei State, there are probably only two types of people in power who can be recognized: one is the clan (distant relatives are also included, such as Cao Shuang and others), and the other is the gentry.
Most of the people who recognized the clan were the princes and officials awarded by Cao Wei, such as Guanqiu Jian and Sun Li. The so-called loyal ministers of the Wei Dynasty were these people. They were not from the gentry, but they started their career because of their loyalty to Cao Wei. Supporting Cao Wei would make them They are protecting everything they have acquired, unless the new rulers provide them with new protection.
However, among these people, if they can be recognized by the new superiors, they may switch to the facade. Just like Sun Li, before Cao Shuang fell, he had a life rift with Cao Shuang and others, and there is a possibility of joining the Sima family.
Since the Eastern Han Dynasty, the gentry and wealthy families have been officials for many generations and have formed a gentry. Those gentry controlled a large population and naturally recognized the gentry's assistance in government. Even the powerful emperors Cao Pi and Cao Rui continued to give in to the gentry in order to gain support. right.
When Sima Yi fell, he surrounded Wang Ling as one of the assistants, which could at least unite the latter. If he didn't move the emperor, he could temporarily stabilize the former.
As long as Qin Liang does not want to immediately become an enemy of all the forces in the world, he must abide by the power rules that have been established by the Wei Dynasty. Otherwise, the situation will not be stable, many people will try their best to cause trouble, and conspiracies will be inevitable.
Moreover, judging from the decades of war between Wei, Wu, and Shu, a civil war has just broken out in Wei, and Wu and Shu may be about to take action, and must take precautions.
At this time, Qin Liang came to the General's Mansion for inspection. The General's Mansion had been vacated, and there were only the garrison troops from Lujiang County's military garrison inside.
Xiong Shou, the captain of the military school, came up to greet him and said: "The servants have arranged the troops and horses, and there are people on duty day and night, keeping an eye on the road leading north to the arsenal. It has been peaceful and quiet these past few days."
Qin Liang nodded and responded: "Very good."
After saying that, he walked into the front hall and looked at the familiar mansion.
The flowers, plants and trees in the rockery pool in the courtyard are still the same, but the spring vegetation has grown new branches and leaves, and because no one has pruned it, it is not as beautiful as before.
Cao Shuang's place is indeed well built, and the location is also well chosen. Sitting in his mansion, he can guard the arsenal and Taicang. Especially the arsenal, as long as the place is not lost, it will be extremely difficult to launch an army in Luoyang.
Although the former general Cao Shuang was defeated by the army, it was not because of the poor layout of the mansion.
Moreover, Qin Liang's first job after becoming an official was here. He went in and out of the General's Mansion every day for several months. He was very familiar with the locations of the offices and warehouses in the front office. Later, he would come here from time to time.
There is always a friendly feeling when working here.
It's just that things have changed and people have changed, the pavilions and pavilions have not changed, and the people who were familiar here are no longer visible.
Xiong Shou and others followed Qin Liang, and the group walked along the front corridor.
When he came to the door of a department room on the west side, Qin Liang couldn't help but peek inside again. A few years ago, he worked as an army adviser in the general's palace, and the most things he did every day was in this room.
Read various documents and files.
Qin Liang went straight back to the gate of the General's Mansion without going in again. When he saw the watchtower on the west side, he climbed upstairs.
Xiong Shou also climbed up. Qin Liang looked at the road outside and said casually: "Cao Zhaobo had a tent commander. It was here that he wanted to kill Sima Yi with a crossbow to seize the arsenal, but was stopped by Sima Yi's spy Sun Qian.
Already."
Xiong Shou, who was covered in muscles, glanced at the road below, made some visual inspection, and said with a smile: "I don't need a crossbow, I only need a bow and arrow, and I can shoot people on the road."
Qin Liang laughed and said nothing.
At this time, Xiong Shou stopped smiling and said in a deep voice: "Can you be a general?"
Qin Liang shook his head and said: "We can't rush now, but this general's mansion is really good."
At this moment, several people on horseback came to the door of the mansion. Xiong Shou took one look and said, "This is Rao Dashan."
Qin Liang said: "There is nothing to see here, let's go down."
After walking down the watchtower, Qin Liang happened to meet Rao Dashan. Rao Dashan bowed and said, "I was about to go out when I received a letter from the He family." After saying this, he took out a roll of bamboo slips and handed it over.
Qin Liang glanced at him and said, "You also know the word 'He'. Dashan knows a lot of words."
Rao Dashan said with a "hehe" smile: "I'm still learning."
Qin Liang unfolded the bamboo scroll and saw that it was written by Princess Jinxiang, inviting Qin Liang to the other courtyard of He Mansion to talk about it.
Only then did Qin Liang remember what he had said to Lu before. It was Qin Liang's intention to meet Princess Jinxiang, and Lu should have brought the words to her. Princess Jinxiang was just responding at this time.
He Jun was indeed hateful, but he was not a powerful enemy after all. After Qin Liang returned to Luoyang, he did not think of this person at all. It was too late for Qin Liang to think about the governors and governors he had met or not met before.
Lu himself came to the Wang family's residence to meet, and Qin Liang suddenly remembered what happened to He Jun. Thinking that He Jun was actively running around for his cousin's marriage, and wondering about the dirty intentions, Qin Liang became very angry!
Qin Liang also remembered the old things that He Jun had been having trouble with him for many times. So Qin Liang said in front of Lu that he would take revenge on He Jun and make him cry and beg for mercy. He should not have said it in the first place.
true emotions.
But when Mr. Lu was leaving, Qin Liang suddenly thought of Princess Jinxiang, and his mood immediately changed. The complexity of his mood was not important, the main thing was that he suddenly thought of the relationship!
Qin Liang's family used to be from Bingzhou, but later moved to Jizhou to settle down. Qin Liang's elder brother is Qin Lang. Because they no longer live in the same place, there is a big gap in status. In the past, the two families had little contact, but they were indeed inseparable.
distant kin.
Qin Lang's father is Qin Yilu, and his mother is Mrs. Du.
Before Qin Yilu died, his wife, Mrs. Du, was snatched away by Cao Cao. Mrs. Du later gave birth to Cao Cao's children, Cao Bao, King of Pei, and Princess Jinxiang.
Princess Jinxiang and Qin Lang are half-brothers and sisters! Qin Liang and Qin Lang are also clan brothers. Isn’t this a relationship?
It's just that the blood relationship between Qin Lang and Princess Jinxiang is maternal; the blood relationship between Qin Liang and Qin Lang is paternal. Therefore, Qin Liang and Princess Jinxiang are not related by blood, but they are indeed relatives.
Qin Liang thought of this and couldn't help but turn his head and glance at the antique General's Mansion.
At this time, Qin Liang felt complicated emotions again.
We can no longer go too far in retaliating against He Jun, at least we can't hurt his life. These people with good backgrounds are really more secure. The He family stood in the wrong team twice in a row and offended countless people, but He Jun actually still Can live well!
Sima Yi didn't kill him, and Qin Liang couldn't kill him either. Wasn't it because of the marriage between the He family and the clan?
