Hearing Liu Hong's urgent question, Jian Shuo quickly replied: "Your Majesty, forgive me! What I mean is that your Majesty can follow Emperor Wu's example and re-establish the Eighth School Wei Army in the name of preventing rebellion and strengthening the defense of Luoyang.
System! The soldiers and horses in the hands of these eight captains will naturally be deployed from the hands of the uncle. When the time comes, your majesty will allocate the official positions of the eight captains to trustworthy people. Isn't it justifiable to take some of them from the hands of the uncle?
Military power?"
Liu Hong's eyes flashed with light again. As the Emperor of the Han Dynasty, Liu Hong was of course familiar with this initiative of Emperor Wu. In order to strengthen Chang'an's protective power, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty set up a middle base, a garrison of cavalry, and infantry.
Yueqi, Changshui, Huqi, Shesheng, and Huben have the eight official positions. These eight captains represent the eight armies and control most of the soldiers and horses in Chang'an City. They can be said to be the largest in Chang'an City.
armed forces.
It's just that in the later Han Dynasty, the system of eight captains was eliminated. The three captains of Hu Qi and Hu Ben were left with only five captains. Later, it was renamed the fifth camp and became the direct troops of the palace. Now these five
The military power of the battalion had long been in the hands of General He Jin. Jian Shuo's proposal was to take advantage of the opportunity of re-establishing the Eighth School Lieutenant military system to regain control of the Eighth School Lieutenant's troops and horses.
With these eight elite troops in Hong's hands, Liu Hong no longer has to worry about He Jin's power in Luoyang City!
Liu Hong felt excited just thinking about it. He glanced at the well-behaved Prince Xie beside him, and Liu Hong couldn't help but think of Prince Xie's biological mother, Meiren Wang. And thinking of Meiren Wang, Liu Hong couldn't help but think of the woman he once loved most.
Queen He! The beautiful face of Queen He flashed through his mind. Liu Hong no longer had the same love in his heart. Instead, he was filled with resentment. If he hadn't been worried about He Jin's power, Liu Hong would have killed him long ago.
Kill this vicious-hearted woman!
However, Liu Hong quickly controlled his emotions and said: "Jian Shuo, your idea is good, but have you ever thought about who should I give the official position of Eighth Colonel to someone? If the entrustment is not to someone else,
Then wouldn’t your idea be a useless effort, but it would alert my uncle? It would make all my hard work come to nothing?”
Since Jian Shuo was able to come up with this idea, of course he had given some thought to the candidates for these eight captains, and Dang even replied: "Your Majesty, I have thought of several candidates! The nephew of Grand Tutor Yuan Wei,
Huben Zhonglang General Yuan Shao has a good family background and is quite famous in Luoyang City! This person can be a good candidate!"
"Yuan Shao?" Liu Hong frowned and thought for a while. He finally remembered Yuan Shao, but with a little doubt on his face, he said: "I heard that this person has a close relationship with the uncle. If I choose this person,
General, I’m afraid there’s something wrong?”
Jian Shuo quickly replied: "Your Majesty! Although this person is attached to the uncle on the surface, but I see that he is arrogant and arrogant. In addition, he is a descendant of the Yuan family. He will never be willing to condescend to the uncle! If your majesty can
By promoting him, Yuan Shao will definitely be grateful to His Majesty and be used by Your Majesty!"
Liu Hong nodded lightly, temporarily agreeing with Jian Shuo's proposal, and then asked: "If Yuan Shao is counted as one person for the time being, do you have other candidates?"
Jian Shuo paused and continued: "I would also like to recommend someone. The grandson of Cao Teng, the former Fei Tinghou Zhongchang Shi Da Changqiu Cao Teng, and the former Jinan Prime Minister Cao Cao, is an upright man and good at using troops. He can be a good candidate!"
Hearing Jian Shuo mention Cao Cao, Liu Hong didn't think much about it. He immediately remembered Cao Cao and said curiously: "Cao Cao? I remember this person! Jian Shuo, I seem to remember this person."
When you were the Northern Lieutenant of Luoyang, your uncle Jian Tu was beaten to death with a five-color stick! If you want to count, this man has a grudge against you! Why do you still recommend him?"
What Liu Hong said was a personal enmity between Cao Cao and Jian Shuo. At that time, Cao Cao was promoted as Xiaolian, entered Luoyang as an official, and was given the title of Northern Wei of Luoyang. As soon as Cao Cao took office, he strictly enforced laws and regulations and established
The five-color stick ordered "Anyone who violates the prohibition will be killed with a stick!" At that time, Jian Shuo had just gained Liu Hong's favor, and even Jian Shuo's relatives also followed suit and became domineering. Especially Jian Shuo's uncle Jian Tu, who was basically
He didn't pay attention to the prohibitions in Luoyang City, and the result was naturally in the hands of Cao Cao.
Cao Cao did not show any mercy to Jian Tu because of the relationship between Jian Tu and Jian Shuo. Instead, he took action himself and beat Jian Tu to death with a five-color stick. For this matter, Jian Shuo went directly to Liu Hong and complained.
However, if this matter is taken seriously, Jian Tu is still in the wrong, and Cao Cao's grandfather Cao Teng still left a lot of connections in the court at that time, so Jian Shuo could not do anything to Cao Cao in the end. In short, the hatred was settled
Already.
Liu Hong had a very profound influence on Cao Cao at that time, so when Jian Shuo mentioned Cao Cao's name, Liu Hong immediately thought of Cao Cao, and was surprised that Jian Shuo would recommend Cao Cao. Hearing Liu Hong mention it
Jian Shuo's cheeks couldn't help but twitch when he heard about his uncle being killed by Cao Cao, but he still suppressed the hatred in his heart and shouted: "Your Majesty! There is a personal enmity between me and Cao Cao! But your Majesty's affairs are official business.
!How dare I abandon official duties due to personal hatred? Cao Cao is indeed a rare talent, and he is very loyal to the Han Dynasty. Because he was unwilling to cater to the powerful officials in the court, Cao Cao was willing to resign from his official position, which shows his character! Now His Majesty's subordinates
What is most lacking is someone like Cao Cao, so I recommend this person to Your Majesty!"
Hearing Jian Shuo's words, Liu Hong's face once again showed a hint of rosiness, and he couldn't help but speak louder: "Okay! Good! Jian Shuo! I really saw you right! If all the civil and military officials in the dynasty could be like him,
You are so dedicated to serving the public! How could I have so many worries now!"
Jian Shuo immediately clasped his fists and said, "Your Majesty is ridiculous! What I did is my duty, and I don't deserve your Majesty's praise! I thought that your Majesty set up eight captains, including Yuan Shao and Cao Cao.
Including your ministers, you already control three battalions! With the remaining five battalions, your majesty can select young generals from the court to serve, which will be enough to deal with your uncle!"
"Okay! Cough! Cough!" Maybe because he was too excited, Liu Hong just cheered, but he coughed again, this time it was even worse than the last time. He coughed a lot.
After half a stick of incense, Liu Hong felt a sweetness in his throat. He quickly took out a brocade silk from his side and covered his mouth. He finally stopped coughing. Liu Hong took off the brocade silk and glanced at the brocade in his hand.
However, he just happened to see a flash of red in the silk. Liu Hong put the brocade silk in his hand silently, not letting the prince Xie beside him see it, but he said to Jian Shuo like nothing happened, "This matter,
I will leave it to you! Draw up a decree immediately and establish the Eighth School Lieutenant in my name! The troops will recruit strong men from Luoyang City! I have only one request, and that is that it must be fast!"
"Yes!" Jian Shuo immediately knelt on the ground and shouted to Liu Hong: "Please rest assured, Your Majesty! I will handle this matter properly and will not let down Your Majesty's high expectations!"
After leaving this matter to Jian Shuo, Liu Hong was relieved. He waved his hand and said, "In that case, without further ado, you can go down and take care of this matter! As for Xie'er, let's do it for the time being.
Stay with me and invite Mr. Wang to my bedroom!"
"Yes!" Jian Shuo knew that the Mr. Wang Liu Hong was talking about was the swordsman Wang Yue who had joined the royal family a few years ago. It is said that this man has the title of the best swordsman in the world, and his martial arts is superb.
It’s amazing. At this time, Liu Hong kept Prince Xie by his side and invited Wang Yue at the same time. Needless to say, it was to prevent Queen He from killing Prince Xie!
Given Jian Shuo's loyalty to Liu Hong, he naturally didn't say much. He bowed to Liu Hong and hurriedly left Liu Hong's palace to handle the things Liu Hong had asked him to do.
Another month has passed, and there are turbulent undercurrents in the palace. As a small subordinate, Luo Yang naturally cannot know about it. But as a person who is familiar with the historical process, Luo Yang has already become nervous in Luoyang City these days.
The atmosphere felt something. Not only Luo Yang, but also Guo Jia, who usually drank heavily every day, seemed to have noticed something. He consciously hid in Chu's house and never went out to drink again.
In this regard, Luo Yang also specially asked Wenpin to go to Nanyang again. As for what he was doing, others naturally had no way of knowing. Luo Yang also went deeper and deeper every day. In addition to his daily routine of patrolling the south of the city,
He just hid in Chu's house all day without going out, and he didn't even go to Lu Zhi's house.
This situation lasted until mid-July. On this day, Luo Yang stayed in the Chu Mansion until the evening as usual, and then left the mansion to inspect the south of the city, then returned to the city gate to supervise the closing of the city gate. He had just arrived
At the city gate, the sergeants who were responsible for guarding the city gate saluted Luo Yang when they saw their immediate boss coming.
Luo Yang waved his hand, turned his head and glanced at the sundial placed next to the city gate. After confirming the time, he shouted to the sergeants: "The time is up! Prepare to close the city gate!"
"Here!" At Luo Yang's order, the sergeants all saluted Luo Yang and responded. Then they shouted in unison to the people who were still coming and going at the city gate: "The door is closed! The door is closed! Hurry up.
Walk!"
Hearing the shouts of these sergeants, the people who were still a little slow immediately speeded up. Those who wanted to enter the city hurried into the city, while those who wanted to leave the city also rushed out of the city. Luo Yang also
He had no intention of paying attention to these matters, and allowed his sergeants and the people to fiddle with them. As usual, he slowly walked to the pergola next to the city gate and waited for the city gate to close.
