Chapter 157 According to the death of Liu Hong in Yizhou
Chapter 157 The death of Liu Hong in Yizhou
China has many talented people since ancient times, and the characters in Shu are also unusual. Liu Yan has been operating in Shu for many years and has gathered a lot of talents. When Liu Zhang came to Shu, he not only wanted to take over Liu Yan's territory, but also win over the talents in Shu.
What? You ask who are the talents in Shu! Okay! Let’s talk about two familiar ones first!
First place, Fazhen! Okay! This guy is not famous and is a bit older. However, the twelve or thirteen year old boy next to him is extraordinary. Even if Liu Zhang is not familiar with Fazhen, for that boy,
Liu Zhang also needs to have a good relationship with Fazhen!
You ask why? Because that boy is Fazhen’s grandson named Fazheng! Although Fazheng doesn’t have a word yet, after getting along with him for a few days, Liu Zhang was convinced that this smart, knowledgeable and wise boy was the most important Liu Bei in history.
One of the masterminds is Fa Zheng Fa Xiao Zhi! Do you think Liu Zhang could not work hard to win over him?
The second one is also a great talent, but this great talent is not a scribe, but a military general.
You ask who this person is? This person is the most famous Soochow general in history, Gan Ning and Gan Xingba! However, the current Gan Ning makes Liu Zhang very distressed.
Doesn’t it seem a bit incredible that a general can take away the troubles? Don’t doubt it! Not to mention Liu Zhang was troubled, even Gan Ning’s father was troubled. Regarding Gan Ning’s matter, Liu Yan had talked to Gan Ning’s father several times.
!Of course, if you ask what Gan Ning did, it wasn’t actually a bad thing, it was just a bit arbitrary!
Gan Ning, also known as Xing Ba, was a native of Linjiang, Ba County. He was brave and strong but had a bad temper and vengeance. He had little strength and was fond of rangers. He did not do his job properly and often gathered a group of frivolous young men and appointed themselves as leaders. They formed groups, carrying bows and arrows.
With bird feathers on his head and bells on his body, he wandered around. As soon as the people of Bajun heard the bell ringing, they knew that Gan Ning and his gang had arrived.
In addition, Gan Ning, a young knight who killed people and fled in hiding, had a great reputation. He showed great majesty when he came in and out. When walking, he displayed his chariots and horses, and when traveling by water, he linked up with light boats. His attendants were dressed in brocade, wherever they went,
It was a glorious place. When he stayed, he often used brocade to maintain the boat, and when he left, he cut it off and threw it away to show his wealth and luxury. Some good people called him "the brocade thief".
Since the Gan family was quite powerful in Shu, Liu Yan didn't want to offend him. However, having such a person in his territory gave Liu Yan a headache, so Liu Yan often chatted with Gan Ning's father, hoping that he could restrain him.
Gan Ning. Unfortunately, Gan Ning's father couldn't do anything about it. Seeing that Gan Ning had great ambitions, Liu Yan made him the governor of Shu County, hoping to restrain him.
But Liu Yan never expected that Gan Ning would ignore this problem at all and continue to go his own way. After becoming the governor of Shu County, if the officials or those who interact with him receive him grandly, Gan Ning will fall in love with him and be willing to do so.
Go through fire and water; if the etiquette is not up to standard, Gan Ning will indulge his subordinates to rob the other party's property, and even kill officials. Anyway, Gan Ning is a bad boy who refuses to change despite repeated admonitions, but this bad boy is quite capable and has a great background.
Liu Zhang took over Yizhou and was really happy when he heard Gan Ning's name. But after he saw Gan Ning's information, his scalp went numb! For celebrities like Fazhen, Liu Zhang could go to them to drink tea and chat.
To connect with each other emotionally. But for people like Gan Ning, Liu Zhang knew that the only way was to convince them. As for how to convince them, naturally he would beat them until they convinced him!
Of course, these two are not the only great talents in Shu. Zhang Song is a wise man, Wu Yi is a general in the army, and there are also capable and loyal people like Huang Quan and Wang Lei. With the help of Liu Yan
Next, the great talents in Shu were conquered by Liu Zhang one by one, and the last one was Gan Ning and Gan Xingba, whom Liu Zhang wanted to conquer the most and was also the most troublesome! So, Liu Zhang took Zhao Yun and Dian Wei and embarked on a search.
Gan Ning's journey.
When Liu Zhang was cleaning up Shuzhong, Liu Hong finally fell on the crotch of the beauties. During the naked tour of the palace, Liu Hong had just had sex with a palace maid, and when he wanted to attract another palace maid, he suddenly fell to the ground.
After several hours of sleepless resuscitation by the imperial doctors, Liu Hong was pronounced dead.
Originally, Liu Hong's death was only a matter of time, but Jian Shuo unexpectedly found a posthumous edict under Liu Hong's body. The edict clearly stated that he ordered the prince to succeed to the throne! Perhaps the emperors of the Han Dynasty liked to throw the edict under the bed.
, and Liu Hong liked Liu Xie better, so Jian Shuo had no doubts. So, Jian Shuo asked Zhang Rang to summon the ten regular servants, hoping to assassinate He Jin and push Liu Xie to the throne.
It has to be said that although Zhang Rang and others are eunuchs, their loyalty to Liu Hong is definitely worthy of Liu Hong calling them father and mother. Unfortunately, the palace has always been the place with the most secrets, but the least able to keep them.
, Jian Shuo wanted to elect Liu Xie as emperor, but somehow Empress He found out about it.
Queen He stayed in the palace for more than ten years, and finally waited until her husband died and her son was about to succeed as emperor. Jian Shuo actually wanted Wang Meiren's son to succeed. Wasn't this killing Queen He? So Queen He sent a
The young eunuch told He Jin about this, and He Jin immediately led his men to kill Jian Shuo.
As soon as He Jin's army moved, Zhang Rang knew that something was wrong. You know, He Jin and Shi Changshi had been enemies of each other for more than ten years, and they had already forged a deep hatred. Now that He Jin had found an opportunity, he could not make up for the old grudges.
Together? Zhang Rang and others quickly went to Queen He to express their loyalty and said that it was Jian Shuo's idea to make Liu Xie emperor.
Queen He was also nostalgic. When she saw Zhang Rang and others crying with snot and tears, she let them go with a soft heart. Although He Jin was unwilling to do so, the matter had come to this, and He Lingsi would soon be the Queen Mother. He Jin
He didn't dare to go against her will too much. Zhang Rang and others escaped, so they became more careful.
Since Shi Changshi had given in, Empress He used He Jin's power to successfully make Liu Bian succeed to the throne. On the second day after Liu Bian succeeded to the throne, the Huben troops outside Luoyang City broke out and headed for Yizhou.
At the same time, a letter was delivered to He Lingsi. It turned out that Liu Zhang had withdrawn the 40,000 tiger soldiers in order to reassure her.
He Lingsi was very moved. Although she trusted Liu Zhang very much, there were 40,000 elite warriors outside the city, which made her feel uncomfortable and sleepless at night. However, He Lingsi did not expect that Liu Zhang asked these 40,000 elites to retreat in order to avoid contact with the upcoming arrivals.
There was a conflict with Dong Zhuo in Luoyang.
In the palace, in a secret room, ten attendants sat in two rows, with Zhang Rang and Zhao Zhong sitting at the top.
"Jian Shuo is dead and our military power has been lost. How can we fulfill His Majesty's last edict?" Guo Sheng, who saw the heavy atmosphere in the secret room and killed Jian Shuo himself, was the first to speak.
"In fact, the most important thing is military power!" Zhao Zhong sighed: "It's a pity that Jian Shuo's plan was not kept secret, otherwise the big thing would have been accomplished!"
"What kind of nonsense are you talking about? If you have time, why don't you think about how you can have military power?" Zhang Rang, as the head of the ten permanent servants, has great prestige, and his words plunged the secret room into silence.
Gao Wang, one of the ten permanent attendants, suddenly said: "It is better to recruit foreign troops to Beijing!"
"This is a great idea! But who can I recruit to the capital?" Zhang Rang and Zhao Zhong's eyes suddenly lit up when they heard this.
"The champion, Liu Zhang, has great military power and is a relative of the emperor. He is loyal to your majesty, so he may be able to use him!" The ten regular servants have all received benefits from Liu Zhang. Zhang Rang and Zhao Zhong also have a good impression of Liu Zhang and want to recruit others. When the soldiers entered the capital, the first thing the ten permanent servants thought of was Liu Zhang.
"No!" Zhang Rang shook his head and said: "Although the Champion is loyal to His Majesty, he also has a close relationship with Queen He. For him, Liu Bian is the best choice."
"If the champion is not good enough, who else can be used by us?" Zhao Zhong said with some frustration: "I will serve your majesty for the rest of my life. If I can't even fulfill your majesty's last wish, I will not be willing to die!"
"Then just work harder and think of a solution, why is there all this nonsense!" Zhang Rang rolled his eyes at Zhao Zhong, and Zhao Zhong lowered his head and began to think hard.
"I have someone who might be able to do it!" Song Dian suddenly raised his head and said, "Dong Zhuo, the governor of Xiliang! This person is very close to us. He even gave us gifts a few days ago. Maybe we can use it!"
Zhang Rang was overjoyed when he heard this and said: "Indeed, Dong Zhuo is a good son of the six counties. He should be able to be used by us... so we will recruit Dong Zhuo to the capital..."
"Dong...dong..." Zhang Rang was about to write a secret edict to Dong Zhuo. Suddenly there was a knocking sound outside the secret room. He opened the door and took a look. A small yellow door gently whispered in Zhang Rang's ear: "Master Zhang, the Empress Dowager Dong is here." please!"
"I know! Just wait for me!" Zhang Rang returned to the secret room and said to everyone: "Let's put it aside for now. I'll go see Empress Dowager Dong and talk about it when I get back!"
After hearing the words, all the regular attendants immediately dispersed, and Zhang Rang followed the small yellow gate to the palace of Empress Dowager Dong. He saw Empress Dowager Dong sitting on the couch. Zhang Rang quickly saluted and said, "I'm paying homage to the Empress Dowager. I didn't know that the Empress Dowager ordered me to come here. What's the important matter?"
Empress Dowager Dong said expressionlessly: "He Jin's sister, I promoted him in the beginning. Today, his son is the emperor, and his internal and external ministers are all his confidants. His authority is too heavy. What will I do?"
Zhang Rang turned his eyes and said: "The Queen Mother can come to the court and listen to the government behind the curtain. She can make the prince Xie the king. She can add the uncle Dong as a major official to control the military power. Employ ministers and others, and great things can be accomplished."
Empress Dowager Dong was overjoyed. The next day when the court was established, Empress Dowager Dong issued an edict, conferring the title of Prince Xie as King of Chenliu, Dong Zhong as Hussar General, Zhang Rang and others jointly presided over the affairs of the court. Seeing that Empress Dowager Dong had exclusive power, Empress Dowager He held a banquet in the palace. Please invite Empress Dowager Dong to attend the banquet.
When the wine was half drunk, Queen Mother He said with a smile: "We are all women, and it is not our duty to participate in government affairs. In the past, because Empress Lu held great power, her whole family was slaughtered. Now we should live in seclusion." Jiuchong: All important matters of the imperial court are left to the ministers and elders to discuss on their own. This is a blessing for the country. I am willing to listen to you!"
Empress Dowager Dong immediately became furious and said: "Young Tugu, you have taken advantage of my son's favor to seize a high position. Now that you are relying on your son as the king, how can you compare with your brother? You dare to talk nonsense! I order my hussar to cut off your brother's head. Like a slap in the face!"
He Lingsi's temper also rose, and she said angrily: "I am trying to persuade you with good words, why should I be angry?"
"Junior Tugu, what do you think?" Empress Dowager Dong looked down on the He family brothers and sisters. Even when He Lingsi's son became the emperor, she looked down on him. He Lingsi immediately started arguing with her when he saw this. Zhang Rang and others had been waiting by the side. The atmosphere was not right, so she quickly tried to persuade them and finally persuaded the two of them to return to the palace. However, Empress Dowager Dong did not know that these words sent her and the Dong family to the point of no return!
