Wen Yuan's eyebrows frowned slightly. He had just received the news. He had suppressed it for the time being and had not had time to tell anyone, including Xu Shu. He couldn't help but wonder: "How did Yuan Zhi get this news."
Xu Shu said: "Today Dahong Tianfeng reported this matter to the court. Mr. Jia and I came here to seek confirmation from the lord."
"That's it..." Wen Yuan exclaimed. Tian Feng had been guarding Shangdang for a long time and was managing the merger of the states. He always had some connections. It was normal to learn that Xianbei was about to join the invaders.
But after learning the whole story, Wen Yuan's brows did not relax.
Tian Feng. In history, Yuan Shao's subordinate Yan Zhijian was a minister who died extremely tragically. Although he made great achievements in the early days of Wenyuan's rise, he was entrusted by Wenyuan with the important task of managing and merging the state. But later. But unknowingly, he gradually broke away from Wenyuan's core of power.
Tian Feng was strong-willed and reserved. This was very similar to Guan Yu's temper. However, Guan Yu still followed Liu Bei's lead. Tian Feng, however, was often outspoken and did not show any affection for Wen Yuan's words.
Wen Yuan can tolerate this. However, he is self-righteous and arrogant. His inability to get along with his colleagues makes Wen Yuan a little troubled.
The most important thing is that unlike Wenyuan who devoted himself to the people, Tian Feng was loyal to the Han Dynasty orthodoxy with the surname Liu. As time went by, Wenyuan and Tian Feng gradually became farther and farther apart, and their relationship became increasingly cold and stiff.
Wen Yuan wanted to change Tian Feng's tragic ending, so he transferred him from the center. After welcoming Emperor Xian back, he appointed him as Da Honglu, the idle post in charge of diplomatic etiquette. Wen Yuan really didn't want one day when the two of them fell out because of their ambitions. .Let such an upright person die in his own hands.
However, Tian Feng does not listen to orders and often acts without authorization. Sooner or later, if this continues, he will conflict with Wenyuan...
Jia Xu added: "My lord, Prince Fu, the captain of the Yue Cavalry School, often visits Dahonglu Mansion recently...
Wen Yuan was shocked again. He suppressed his displeasure and said, "What did Mr. Yuan Hao say in the court?"
Jia Xu said: "Mr. Yuan Hao requested an order to command the cavalry general Dong Cheng to lead the troops north to attack Xianbei..."
Xu Shu also said: "This is because the restless people in the court want to seize the power from the general..."
Wen Yuan snorted and said: "Those people in the court, hum. If they could use it, the great Han Dynasty would not be so virtuous. Sir, how did you deal with it in the end?" Jia Xu is now the official residence of the minister. She. Although his official rank is not high, he is responsible for the coordination of political affairs and personnel in the DPRK. All matters big and small have to be handled by him.
Jia Xu said: "It's suppressed for the time being. Tian Yuanhao is my lord's old subordinate. Xu doesn't dare to make the decision without authorization. So I came here to ask my lord what he means."
Wen Yuan frowned and muttered for a while: "Mr. Yuan Hao is smart all his life, but he is taken advantage of by those little guys in the court. Sir, Yuan Zhi. I don't want to fall out with Mr. Yuan Hao because of different ideas. Do you two have a way to deal with him... "
Jia Xu said: "Tian Yuanhao has always been famous for his talents. He also has a proud character. I admire this very much. Now that I know my lord's intentions, it is not difficult for Tian Yuanhao to arrange..."
Wen Yuan was delighted and said: "Sir, it's possible that he has already made up his mind."
Jia Xu wrote lightly: "My lord is really worried about the Xianbei invaders. Bingzhou's soldiers are short of resources. Why not use the power of the Southern Xiongnu to resist the Xianbei cavalry. Now the Southern Xiongnu is submissive to the lord. It shouldn't count to draw 10,000 or 20,000 light cavalry from the Southern Xiongnu for coordinated operations. It’s difficult…”
Wen Yuan's eyes lit up and he said: "Uh. That's right. I forgot about the Southern Huns. They lived in Bingzhou and Xianbei invaded. They should contribute to the imperial court in order to protect their homeland and property..."
Because Huchuquan and Liu Bao secretly competed for the position of Shanyu. The current Xiongnu was divided into three parts by Wenyuan. King Xian of the left Liu Bao was the commander of the left part. King Xian of the right went to Bei and became the commander of the right part. Although Huchuquan was named Shan Yu. However, no one obeyed the orders given to the left and right ministries. The three factions, especially Huchuquan and Liu Bao, had a strong sense of conflict.
Huchuquan and Liu Bao competed to attach themselves to Wenyuan for the position of the Xiongnu Chanyu. Today, the Southern Xiongnu can be said to only follow Wenyuan's orders.
Jia Xu smiled slightly and said: "Exactly. In the past, the Southern Xiongnu resisted Xianbei. Most of them were spontaneous actions by various ministries and lacked unified coordination. This time, my lord might as well send a supervisory army in the name of the imperial court to control the Xiongnu tribe. Tian Yuanhao is proficient in the art of war. He is majestic and majestic. He can represent our Han Dynasty and control the Southern Xiongnu cavalry."
Wen Yuan was overjoyed and said: "That's very good. Just do what you said."
The matter was settled. On the second day, Wen Yuan went to court and asked the emperor to order the southern Xiongnu to send troops. Tian Feng was appointed as General Wuwei and went to the southern Xiongnu to serve as the supervisor of the army. Together with Qu Yi, he fought against the Xianbei invaders.
As for Dong Cheng and Wen Yuan, as the head of the state, it was not appropriate for him to go on an expedition to remonstrate with him.
In today's court, almost half of the civil and military officials have turned to Wen Yuan for power and wealth. These ministers know nothing about others, but their ability to observe people's words and watch the wind and steer the ship is better than the last. Seeing that Wen Yuan has gained power, it is the general trend, and they have fallen one after another. Xiang Wenyuan's camp. Some ministers even showed more loyalty than Wenyuan's direct descendants.
Although Wen Yuan somewhat despised the actions of these wall-riding factions, it was undeniable that they were still very useful to him.
Now Jia Xu, Ju Shou, Xin Pi and others are sitting in the court. Dong Zhao and Jia Mu are accompanying the emperor every day to instill some thoughts of loyalty to the emperor and love the people. In addition, such a large group of ministers seconded and supported. Wen Yuan said Everything they put forward seemed to be correct, wise and unquestionable after being modified by their words. Even if there were one or two objections, they were quickly covered up by the tide of support for the general...
On the surface, the matter seems to have passed. But in the calm, there is still a rolling undercurrent...
Ye City. It was built by Duke Huan of Qi during the Spring and Autumn Period. It is seven miles from east to west and five miles from north to south. It is adjacent to the Zhang River in the north. It is divided into palaces and Guo Ercheng. It has seven gates and is surrounded by the Zhang River as a moat. It is about four feet deep and three feet high. The city is solid. .is the political, economic and cultural center of Hebei.
After the emperor moved the capital to Yecheng, Yecheng was renamed Yedu. A new city was expanded to the north of the old city. A large amount of construction work was carried out to build palaces and buildings for the emperor and all civil and military officials to live.
After the expansion, Yedu was even more grand. It was seven miles long from east to west, eight miles long from north to south, with eight gates. Four main roads divided the entire city into nine blocks in the form of nine palaces. The emperor lived in the north city, and hundreds of officials lived in the northeast. There were two cities in the east and west. Ordinary people generally live in Nancheng.
At this time, an ordinary-looking carriage stopped in front of a house in a remote alley in Nancheng.
This is a dilapidated residence. It is rare to see such dilapidation in Yecheng.
