In the sixth year of Zhongping in the Eastern Han Dynasty, in April of the year 1**, Emperor Liu Hong of the Han Dynasty passed away! On the same day, Jian Shuo, the military captain who had been staying by the Han Emperor's side and was personally appointed by the Han Emperor as the head of the eight Xiyuan Academy Lieutenants, appeared outside the Han Emperor's palace.
He committed suicide and was accused of treason by General He Jin after his death, implicating the nine clans!
At the same time, the body of the Han emperor had not yet been placed in the coffin. With the support of the general He Jin and a group of important officials in the dynasty, the thirteen-year-old prince Bian ascended the throne and became emperor of the Han Dynasty. His reign name was changed to Guangxi.
After Liu Bian came to the throne, General He Jin was promoted to Grand Sima, and he took over the power. He was truly subordinate to one person and superior to tens of thousands of people! Lu Zhi was named Taifu, ranking among the three princes, Huang Pusong was made Taiwei, and Yuan Wei was
Situ, in addition, He Jin purged a large number of dissidents in the court and supported his cronies in power, which further consolidated his power.
In May, Liu Bian officially held the enthronement ceremony, and just the day before the enthronement ceremony, a glass of poisonous wine was delivered to the Empress Dowager Dong who had been moved to Hejian by He Jin on the grounds that "the concubine should not stay in the palace for a long time".
In front of us, just like that, Empress Dowager Dong, the biological mother of the late emperor, completely disappeared from the world, and the He family became the ruler behind the scenes of the Han Dynasty!
All these disturbances gradually calmed down until July, and Luoyang City finally returned to its usual life. People were busy with their livelihoods, as if nothing had happened in the past three months.
Luo Yang rode a war horse, accompanied by Wenpin, and strolled slowly on the street. Looking at the pedestrians walking on the street, Luo Yang couldn't help but sigh, and said to Wenpin behind him: "Zhongye, look at these things.
For the common people, the thrilling things that happened in the court and the palace are thousands of miles away from them! As long as it doesn't affect their lives, I'm afraid they won't care at all who is the emperor!"
Wenpin thought for a while, then shook his head and said: "My subordinates don't understand what the lord said, but I think what the lord said is correct!" Recently, Wenpin finally figured it out and followed Liu Pi and Gong.
Both of them called Luo Yang their lord directly. Although it was just a change of two words, for Luo Yang and Wenpin, it represented the formation of a true relationship between monarch and minister!
Regarding Wenpin's answer, Luo Yang just smiled and shook his head. I'm afraid not many people in this era can understand this kind of thinking, let alone Wenpin, a warrior who only knows how to get. So Luo Yang didn't mean to explain.
, just smiled faintly, but was minding his own thoughts.
After walking for a long time, Wenpin rushed to Luo Yang's side and whispered to Luo Yang: "Lord! We are here!"
Luo Yang came back to his senses and looked up, wasn't it? Unknowingly, the two of them had arrived at Da Sima's Mansion. Looking at the brand new "Da Sima's Mansion" plaque, Luo Yang just smiled lightly and stopped.
Rein, and Wenpin immediately dismounted and walked quickly to the door of the mansion. When the several sergeants guarding the door saw Luo Yang, not only did they not stop him, but they clasped their fists at Luo Yang and shouted at the same time: "I have seen General Luo!"
Luo Yang smiled and nodded, turned around and explained to Wenpin, and walked straight into the Great Sima Mansion. According to the rules of the Great Sima Mansion, followers were not allowed to follow him into the mansion, so Wenpin had to stay.
In the shed specially prepared for their followers next to the entrance of the mansion.
Within three months, which shocked and frightened the officials in the court, Luo Yang, like Yuan Shao and Cao Cao, all completely surrendered to He Jin. However, it was different from what was expected before. Although the military power in his hands was
They were all given to Cao Cao, but Luo Yang's status under He Jin's account increased instead of falling. Of course, the big reason for this was that Lu Zhi, who had been promoted to Taifu, said a lot of good things to He Jin.
But on the other hand, He Jin did have some appreciation for Luo Yang.
In addition, several other people among the eight captains of Xiyuan, except Jian Shuo who committed suicide, and Bao Hong, Yuan Shao, Cao Cao, Chun Yuqiong, and even Zhao Rong and Feng Fang who were framed to death by He Jin, all became He Jin's subordinates.
It's just that He Jin found an excuse to transfer Zhao Rong and Feng Fang from the Xiyuan Army and assigned them two civilian positions, while He Jin's younger brother He Miao was transferred to the Xiyuan Army and became a general.
The Shangjun Lieutenant replaced Jian Shuo as the commander-in-chief of the Xiyuan Army. Not only that, He Jin also arranged for Wu Kuang to join the Xiyuan Army and became the Lower Military Academy Lieutenant, while the original infantry battalion was included in the Xiyuan Army.
Wu Fu's Yueqi Battalion, the fifth battalion became the fourth battalion.
He Jin's intention of doing this was naturally to completely control the Xiyuan Army in his own hands. He Jin, who now holds the Fourth Battalion Army and the Xiyuan Army, already has the strongest force in Luoyang City. Therefore, He Jin has the strongest force in Luoyang City.
, even those aristocratic families that had only had a perfunctory attitude before began to truly take refuge in He Jin's account.
Nowadays, a group of important officials in the court headed by Lu Zhi, relying on He Jin's support, have lifted the ban on the party, and party members have once again become the mainstream of the court. However, the only thing that makes them dissatisfied is that Zhang Rang and other ten permanent officials
The eunuch gang headed by the servant showed signs of raising their head again by clinging to Queen He. Today, Lu Zhi sent someone to Chu Mansion early to inform Luo Yang to come to Da Sima Mansion and ask He Jin to make a decisive decision.
, eliminate the eunuchs such as the ten permanent servants!
Luo Yang did not comment on the persistence of Lu Zhi and the others, because he knew that it was the persistence of Lu Zhi and the others that made He Jin finally make an extremely stupid decision to summon the princes from all over the country to enter the pass!
It was because of Lu Zhi and the others' pressing closer and closer that they forced Zhang Rang and others to take desperate risks, and finally killed He Jin!
Of course, Luo Yang had no intention of reminding them of this. What he needed now was chaos in Luoyang City! If the Shi Changshi Rebellion had not happened, Luo Yang would have had no chance to leave here and re-develop his power locally!
Therefore, after receiving a message from Lu Zhi today, Luo Yang also came as requested.
Just after walking through the outer hall, Luo Yang vaguely heard bursts of noise coming from the front. Luo Yang had already heard Lu Zhi shouting in front: "Master Sima! The reason why the Han Dynasty has ended up like this is because
It is precisely because Zhang Rang and other eunuchs are doing evil! Now that Lord Sima has military power, he should take this opportunity to wipe out the eunuchs!"
As soon as Lu Zhi finished speaking, there were a lot of echoes, and several of them were familiar to Luo Yang. Luo Yang smiled bitterly, Lu Zhi always talked about these clichés, no wonder He
Jin refused to listen! After shaking his head, Luo Yang continued to walk forward and soon arrived at the hall where they were.
Luo Yang looked around and saw that the hall was in chaos. Countless important officials were standing in front of He Jin and kept shouting at He Jin. And He Jin was also frowning at this moment, with a look on his face.
Pressing his temples uncomfortably, it looked like he had a headache from the noise from these officials. However, Luo Yang took advantage of this opportunity and simply slipped into the hall and found an inconspicuous seat to sit down. This was also
Luo Yang's consistent style during this period was that whenever He Jin called him to discuss matters, Luo Yang would just hide in the corner and keep his mouth shut. Several times, He Jin even specifically mentioned Luo Yang's name, but Luo Yang also hesitated.
I said some nonsense, He Jin originally had some hope for Luo Yang, but after seeing Luo Yang's appearance, he gave up in the end.
"Why are you late, General Luo?" Luo Yang had just sat down. He originally wanted to close his eyes and rest like before, but suddenly a voice rang from beside Luo Yang, which almost made Luo Yang jump up.
Luo Yang turned around and saw that the person sitting next to Luo Yang turned out to be Cao Cao.
Speaking of Cao Cao, although he and Yuan Shao defected to He Jin's tent at the same time, earlier than Luo Yang, it may be that Cao Cao and He Jin counterattacked, but Cao Cao never gained anything under He Jin's tent.
This treatment was completely different from what Cao Cao had imagined when he took refuge under He Jin's account. Cao Cao had no complaints about this, and regardless of whether He Jin adopted it or not, he continued to offer advice to He Jin.
Normally, Cao Cao would grab the seat in front of him, but for some reason, Cao Cao was sitting in this inconspicuous corner like Luo Yang today.
Seeing Cao Cao smiling and staring at him, Luo Yang felt uncomfortable all over his body. He then smiled and said: "General Cao! So you are sitting here too! Today, why aren't you..." Luo Yang said the last sentence
He stopped talking in general. Luo Yang originally wanted to ask Cao Cao why he didn't sit in the front row today. However, Luo Yang immediately realized that this question was a bit too abrupt. In addition, Cao Cao's experience during this period made it more difficult to ask.
It would make people feel embarrassed, so Luo Yang immediately shut up and stopped asking.
Unexpectedly, Cao Cao smiled faintly, glanced at Luo Yang, took over Luo Yang's words and said, "Why don't you sit in the front?" Cao Cao's words made Luo Yang hesitate and open his mouth to think.
What to explain, but he still couldn't say it. Instead, Cao Cao looked at Luo Yang indifferently, as if he just asked a very simple question.
Cao Cao was so calm, which actually made Luo Yang a little embarrassed. He smiled, but stopped talking. Cao Cao didn't seem to feel any embarrassment, but continued to talk to himself: "Actually, if we were talking about other things,
It’s hard to say that even if Cao is annoying, he still wants to sit in the front and remonstrate with Da Sima! However, the things they discussed today are completely meaningless. Although Cao is not talented, he doesn’t want to be here.
It’s a waste of time to talk about this kind of thing! Sitting in the front would make a fuss, so I simply went to the back to hide in peace, but I didn’t expect to bump into General Luo! It’s really a fate!” After saying that, Cao Cao faced him again.
