Rushing out of the palace, he saw Wu Kuang and Zhang Zhang waiting at the roadside with hundreds of soldiers. He Jin relaxed a little. It was so scary. He Jin almost spilled blood on the Jiade Palace today. Every time he thinks about it, his whole body can't help but
of trembling.
"Your Majesty, you are too cruel"
"General..." Seeing He Jin's frightened expression, Wu Kuang and Zhang Zhang were all stunned in place.
He Jinqiang calmed himself down and said, "Nothing, let's go."
"General, walk slowly, general, walk slowly..." He Jin was about to board the carriage, but suddenly he heard someone calling from behind. He thought it was Yuan Shu's subordinate Hu Ben, but when he looked back, he saw a guard who had never been masked before.
The man came over quickly and saw that He Jin had a vigilant look on his face. He was like a frightened bird calling for protection. Knowing that He Jin had misunderstood, he hurriedly explained: "General, don't be alarmed. I am under the command of Pan Sima, the captain of the military academy, and I have something important to report."
"
When He Jin heard that it was Pan Yin's person, He Jin's expression softened, and he forced a smile on his face and said: "It turns out that he is from Brother Pan. If you have any questions, please tell me. I am all ears." Because He Jin had a bad background, although
Although he was in a high position, he was not like a noble man. He always felt that he was superior to the generals when he saw them, which was very arrogant. He Jin won the hearts of the soldiers with his demeanor.
Sure enough, when the guard saw the general's humility, he was greatly moved. He looked around and said, "I dare you to speak to me."
He Jin frowned slightly, hesitated for a moment, waved his hands to disperse the surrounding crowd, and called the guard forward: "Please speak."
The guard said cautiously: "Your Majesty has passed away."
The guard's voice was so low that He Jin could only hear the word "die beng" clearly, but these two words already explained the whole problem. He Jin was suddenly startled, paced back and forth, and asked: "Besides Jian Shuo, who else is there?"
Who wants to kill me?"
The guard whispered: "This matter was planned by Jian Shuo alone, and no one else participated."
"So Zhang Rang, Guo Sheng and others didn't know about it..." He Jin raised his hand to the guard and said sincerely: "The grace of saving my life today will be generously repaid in the future. I have to take my leave since I am inconvenienced."
He Jin was sitting in the carriage, thinking deeply. He woke up on the way and raised his voice: "Don't go back to the general's palace, go directly out of the city and go to the camp." This camp refers to the general's five ministries plus several individual ministries, totaling nearly 100,000 yuan.
The seven thousand people were all recruited by his cronies from his hometown of Nanyang and the counties in Guandong. Not to mention their combat prowess, there was absolutely no problem with their loyalty.
Arriving at the camp outside the city, He Jin stayed for a moment, feeling that there was no information here, so he sent thousands of soldiers across the horse market in the eastern suburbs of Luoyang. The merchants and tourists in the city looked at the army in shock as they entered the Middle East Gate, and looked at each other.
I can’t figure out where this song comes from. Could it be that something big happened in Luoyang City? Soon there was news that the general led troops to the palace to accompany Qingjun. However, as the army was stationed at the Baijun residence in Buguangli,
This rumor is self-explanatory. The so-called "Hundred County Residences", as the name suggests, refers to the residences of more than one hundred counties in the world in the capital. They have the responsibility of reporting to the central government step by step, similar to the modern office in Beijing.
Without the emperor's edict, he led troops into the city to conspire against him, but the general Yuan Wei was in charge of the capital's military guards, and the city gate captain was Yuan Shao's party member Wu Qiong. When the two heard what He Jin said, they immediately let him go, but Sili Xiao
Lieutenant Zhang Wen, a fellow countryman, did not want him to pass. He Jin blurted out that the emperor had died, and Zhang Wen immediately fell silent.
At the same time, Wu Qiong rushed to the Yuan family's homestead in Yongheli, which is adjacent to Buguangli. When he arrived, Yuan Shaozheng and more than ten friends held a cocktail party. Xu was so excited that he and Xu You had fun throwing pots, and Xu You had already thrown ten arrows. , hit five, and Yuan Shao was about to throw the sixth arrow. The first five arrows were very unlucky, and only hit one. It seemed that defeat was inevitable.
"Deyu, aren't you on duty at the city gate? Why did you leave your post without permission and come to my house? Please be careful of the imperial censor." Yuan Shao raised his arm and flicked it, and the arrow drew a beautiful arc. When he entered the pot, he behaved elegantly, coupled with his peerless appearance, he had an indescribable air of a gentleman, which won applause from the whole hall.
Seeing everyone cheering, Xu You said dissatisfiedly: "Ben Chu is two out of six, and the remaining four arrows must be thrown into the pot to defeat me. Unless Gai Ying is possessed, there is no hope for Ben Chu's comeback." He was also famous for his accuracy in archery. Xu You's last words were obviously teasing Gai Jun. All the friends laughed loudly, leaning forward and leaning back, and raised the drinking table several times.
"Gentlemen, the emperor has passed away."
As soon as Wu Qiong's words came out, everyone seemed to be frozen in place, maintaining various wild postures, with blank faces. Even He Yong and Xu You had expressions of surprise that could not be concealed. Only Yuan Shao was calm and raised his hand to throw an arrow. With a "swish" sound, the arrow accurately landed in the belly of the pot.
"Three out of seven..." Yuan Shao smiled sarcastically, raised his hand and threw an arrow.
"Shua"
"Four out of eight..."
Xu You was sweating profusely. He stretched out his stiff facial muscles and sneered: "Benchu, are you trying to defy nature? I don't believe you are so lucky." After Xu You said this, there was a sound of an arrow hitting the bottom of the pot. Sent out again.
"Nine out of five, it's a tie..." Yuan Shao turned to look at Xu You, half-smiling but not smiling.
Gurgling sounds spread everywhere, and all the friends swallowed their saliva. When they suddenly heard that the emperor had passed away, Yuan Shao remained calm and made three out of three shots. He was really an extraordinary person.
"Ziyuan, are you still playing?" Yuan Shao weighed the last arrow in his hand.
"That's it, I admit defeat..." Xu You showed a smile that was uglier than crying.
"Ping..."
Yuan Shao threw it casually, looked at the arrow that hit the pot wall and fell to the ground, shook his head and said: "It's a pity that it missed."
"You..." Xu You said angrily: "You did it on purpose."
"I really threw with intention..." Yuan Shao patted Xu You on the shoulder, walked up to Wu Qiong, and asked: "Deyu, where did you get the news?"
Wu Qiong came back to his senses and said: "It's the general. The general has led thousands of troops to station in hundreds of counties."
"General, that must be true. My father-in-law, my wife... just wait, wait, I will avenge you eunuchs, all of them will die..." Yuan Shao covered his face with his hands and laughed silently at first. , then a soft laugh, and finally a long and loud laugh, the sound is high-pitched and powerful, splitting the clouds and piercing the rocks, and going around the beams endlessly.
"This is the beginning..." He Yong looked worriedly at Yuan Shao, who was laughing endlessly. As a close friend, no one knew more about Yuan Shao's miserable experience than he did. Six years of filial piety, eighteen years of unrivaled officialdom, and the death of his father-in-law Li Ying was tortured to death, and his wife Li Shi died of worry...
Everything was caused by the eunuchs. Now the emperor Liu Hong, the greatest protector of the eunuchs, passed away...
Yuan Shao stopped laughing and said calmly to He Yong: "Brother, there is no need to worry about me. Let's go to Baijun Mansion. If we don't go, our general will be in a hurry..."
What Yuan Shao said was true. He Jin was really anxious about waiting, even though he didn't wait for long. The saying that days are like years should specifically refer to He Jin's mood at the moment.
When Yuan Shao, He Yong, Xu You, Wu Qiong and others rushed to Baijun Mansion, Xiaohuangmen happened to come to report the news of the emperor's death. He Jin grabbed Yuan Shao's shoulders and asked impatiently: "Your Majesty After his death, did you think that I should enter the palace?"
Yuan Shao said calmly: "To prevent Jian Shuo from jumping over the wall in a hurry, it is best for the general to stay here until the prince ascends the throne."
He Jin agreed and said: "At this beginning, I will leave the affairs in the palace to you."
"No." Yuan Shao smiled faintly.
The news of the death of Emperor Liu Hong swept through every corner of Luoyang City at a whirlwind speed, and then spread outside the city.
When Gongqing entered the palace, his mood was complicated and difficult to understand, but one thing is certain. They hoped that the emperor would die soon, because he was too absurd and stupid to let the ancient emperor be stupid. Gongqing was not polite and gave Liu Hong the posthumous title of " "Ling", the word "Ling" is a synonym for laissez-faire, no virtuous people, and no political achievements. It is a bad posthumous title. It is the same as the "Ling" of the late emperor Han Huan, who is said to have received the most public scolding and the most severe scolding among all the kings of the Han Dynasty during his lifetime. "Huan" is very different from heaven and earth. A Huan is called Huan when he conquers a distant land. He respects and mobilizes the people, which is called Huan.
Before his death, Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty asked Yang Qi, his attendant, how do I compare to the late emperor? Yang Qi was born in the Yang clan of Hongnong. The people of Yang clan followed the style of Yang Zhen and were always known for their loyalty and outspokenness. Yang Qi replied: Your Majesty is the same as Emperor Heng. Yu and Shun were better than Tang Yao. This means that you are not as good as the late emperor. Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty was very unhappy and said that your neck is so hard that you will definitely attract big birds after your death. Legend has it that before Yang Zhen was buried, a big bird leaned down and screamed. , shed tears to the ground.
This is also true. Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty was not as good as Emperor Huan of the Han Dynasty. Emperor Huan of the Han Dynasty focused on poor families and little-known small clans throughout his life, suppressing Yuan Yang and other noble families. Yuan Yang and others never ascended to the position of the Three Dukes throughout their lives. He also quelled the rebellion of the Qiang people in Western Xinjiang. No one can take away his credit. Even if he caused the first disaster of party imprisonment, the ministers would not dare to give him a bad posthumous name out of conscience.
Three days later, the emperor's eldest son Liu Bian succeeded to the throne. Because he was fourteen years old and could not govern, he respected his mother, Queen He, as the queen mother and listened to the government behind the curtain. He pardoned the world and changed the name to Guangxi, which was the first year of Guangxi. The emperor's younger brother Liu Xie was granted the title For King Bohai.
Four days later, General Yuan Wei became the Grand Tutor, and he and the General He Jin participated in the affairs of the Secretariat. The Grand Tutor, also called Shang Gong, was located above the three princes, Taiwei, Situ, and Sikong. It was not a permanent position and was only selected when the new emperor ascended the throne. The veteran minister takes up the post. It is well known that the power of the Han Dynasty is in the hands of the Shangshu. The three princes, nine ministers, and even the Grand Duke and Taifu are just empty positions, used to deal with disasters. If you want to gain real power, you must refer to the Shangshu affairs.
Five of the four generations of the Yuan clan in Runan are among the three princes. They have been in charge of the court for more than a hundred years, and their disciples and former officials are all over the world. Now Yuan Wei is the prince, and he is also involved in the affairs of the minister. His authority is as great as that of the Han Dynasty. The first prime minister reached a peak that the Yuan clan in Runan had never reached.
The general He Jin was loyal to the government and resented Jian Shuo for trying to kill him, so he wanted to kill him. Zhang Jin, a close confidant of He Jin and a fellow countryman, was from Yuan Shao. Yuan Shao asked him to advise him and said: "Huangmen, I often serve in powerful positions for a long time. The Empress Dowager of Changle was rumored to have profited from adultery, so the general should select virtuous people, order the world, and eliminate troubles for the country." The Empress Dowager of Changle was the Empress Dowager Dong, the mother of Emperor Ling. He Jin agreed with Zhang Jin's opinion and conquered more than 20 people in the country in the name of executing eunuchs. , among them were party member He Yong, people like Xun Yu, Xun You, and Zhong Yao who were implicated by their elders, as well as local heroes like Zheng Tai, and Dongzhou celebrity Chen Lin...
Since the prince Liu Bian ascended the throne, Jian Shuo gathered his troops to defend himself and did not dare to go out of the Nangong Palace. However, he was deep in the confinement, but he had eyes and ears outside. Naturally, He Jin's actions could not be concealed from him, so he wrote to Zhao Zhong and others.
, it is said that the brothers, the generals, control the government and act arbitrarily. Today, they are plotting with the party members of the world to kill the late emperor and his right and left, and to wipe out my Cao Cao. It is just because I command the imperial army that I am hesitant. Instead of sitting back and waiting for death, why don't you join forces to seal the palace gates and hunt down He Jin?
, and bring peace to the court.
After receiving Jian Shuo's letter, Zhao Zhong, Zhang Rang, Song Dian, Guo Sheng and other ministers held urgent consultations. Because they colluded with the enemy during the Yellow Turban Rebellion and were undecided on who should be the crown prince, they were completely lost.
Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty was so trusting that after his death, Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty became passive and went with the flow.
The atmosphere in the conference room was extremely solemn. Zhao Zhong looked at the desk and said, "Don't be bored. What do you think of the captain's intention?"
Everyone did not dare to say anything nonsense, they all looked at Zhang Rang and Guo Sheng. The daughter-in-law of the former was the brother of He Jin and the sister of the Queen Mother. The latter was from the same hometown as He Jin. The reason why the brothers and sisters of the He family were so favored and trusted was due to his strength.
Zhang Rang had no choice but to speak first: "In my opinion, hand over Jian Shuo to the general."
"What Zhang Changshi said is wrong." Song Dian snorted: "Jian Shuo is a thorn in He Jin's side and a thorn in his flesh. Why? Without him, Dian banned the soldiers. Although Jian Shuo is not on good terms with us, after all, he is himself
Man, we are just about to rely on his strength to protect China and North Korea, how can we cut off our own arms?"
Xia Yun said worriedly: "Jian Shuo is trying to harm the general. The contradiction between the two is irreconcilable. If Jian Shuo is not handed over, the general may kill us together."
Song Dian retorted: "Could it be that if we hand over Jian Shuo, we can save our lives? You haven't looked at He Jin's recent actions..."
Zhao Zhong looked at Guo Sheng and said: "Guo Changshi..."
"I agree with Zhang Changshi." Guo Sheng saw the strange looks in everyone's eyes and said dissatisfied: "Don't look at me with such eyes. We are grasshoppers on the same rope. I can tell clearly which one is more important. Just like Xia Chang
As the servant said, if there is a great power, only one can survive, and if the progress is huge, we will take a step back for the time being. As long as we can survive the current crisis and keep Her Majesty the Queen Mother firmly in our hands, we still have the final say in this world."
The various ministers looked at each other in confusion and looked at Changqiu Zhao Zhong, waiting for his decision.
Zhao Zhong said for a long time: "That's it..."
Zhao Zhongshu and Jian Shuo were invited to have a secret talk. Jian Shuo did not doubt that he was there, but he was intercepted and killed by the Huangmen who had been waiting for a long time. After that, the regular servants gave Jian Shuo's head to He Jin.
They surrounded the palace of the General Hussar and forced Dong Chong, the nephew of the Empress Dowager Dong, to commit suicide. Dong Chong had always been close to the attendants. The attendants broke their teeth and swallowed blood, appearing to be more submissive. The month after Dong Zhong committed suicide, the Empress Dowager Dong was confused.
After their death, people all over the world thought that the He brothers and sisters were mean and ungrateful, so they didn't agree with them.
Gai Jun received the news of the death of Emperor Liu Hong at the wedding of Pang De and Guo. The originally lively scene suddenly became quiet. Pang De secretly cried out that it was bad luck. The wedding was already halfway through and it absolutely could not be stopped. He could only simplify it.
One after another, tedious procedures were completed in a hurry.
Gai Jun came home at night and sat on the couch in the study, reading "Zuo Zhuan", his eyes were in a trance, and he was obviously absent-minded.
There was a "squeak" sound as the door opened, and the beautiful Cai Wan, wearing a bun and a wide robe, came over with a bowl of minced meat.
Gai Jun frowned and said, "Why are you doing this so late? I'm not hungry."
Cai Wan put the minced meat on the desk and knelt down in front of Gai Jun without nagging, looking at him with bright eyes.
After a while, Gai Jun couldn't stand Cai Wan's soft violence. He raised his hands and surrendered: "Yes, yes... Madam, can't I just eat it? But I have a condition."
Cai Wan won the victory, showed his face and said with a smile: "What?"
Gai Juntian said shamelessly: "You feed me.".
"Don't be ashamed." Cai Wan said angrily. However, he still fed him with a bowl, his movements were gentle and relaxed, and his expression was serious.
Gai Jun said while enjoying the beauty's feeding, "Did Wei Nu go to bed?"
"Go to sleep."
Gai Jun was indeed not hungry, or had no appetite, so he barely ate half of the bowl and asked: "How is the situation over there at the salt field?" The so-called salt field generally refers to more than 40 major salt-producing areas in more than 100 counties in the world, and Bingzhou accounts for 7, 8. The profit from salt and iron is the largest profit in the world. After the Qin unified the country, salt and iron production became state-owned. In the early Han Dynasty, a slight ban was issued to allow private mining of salt and iron production. During the reign of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, the imperial government Monopoly. Emperor Guangwu of the Eastern Han Dynasty followed the old system. However, in the Eastern Han Dynasty, the Liu family and the wealthy families shared the world. How could the wealthy families give up the benefits of salt and iron? They were repeatedly banned, and the court monopoly became a joke. The rulers of the Eastern Han Dynasty were tougher and weaker. Then, to this day, private operations and production are officially recognized, and the state is responsible for supervision and taxation. Of course, the imperial court itself also operates the salt and iron business, but it is insignificant compared to the private sector.
Gai Jun regained the four counties of Xihe, Shangjun, Wuyuan and Yunzhong. Except for Yunzhong, all three places produced salt, especially the salt quality in Xihe and the area where Wuyuan met. Facing several large white salt fields, Gai Jun Jun unceremoniously took it as his own, but the governors chose to acquiesce, and there was nothing they could do if they refused. How could a tiger spit out the prey it had eaten?
Cai Wancong memorized the strong knowledge and transformed the countless data in his mind into words, such as how much salt was produced, where it was sold, how much grain was exchanged for, how much iron tools were exchanged, and the words were eloquently explained to the listeners.
Gai Jun was filled with emotions and his eyes were full of emotions.
Cai Wan's cheeks were slightly dizzy and he said, "What do you think I'm doing?"
Gai Jun held Cai Wan's hand and said emotionally: "Wan'er, you are beautiful, kind, elegant, quiet, polite, knowledgeable, and able to ride a horse and drive a chariot... too many, one day and one night I can’t finish it. I, a humble person like you, am able to marry such a beautiful woman like you. It is really a blessing I have cultivated in eight lifetimes.”
"Husband..." Cai Wan lowered her head and leaned lightly on Gai Jun's shoulder. She got along with Gai Jun at first, and she couldn't understand many of the things he said. This was one of the reasons why he attracted her in the first place. The two had known each other for twelve years. After nine years of living, Cai Wan has learned a lot. For example, Gai Jun, who has been blessed in eight lifetimes, contains a hundred times a thousand times more knowledge in just one sentence.
Cai Wan moved his upper body, found a comfortable pillow position, slowly closed his eyes, and said: "Husband, I'm very worried..." With the large amount of salt, iron and grain transactions, everyone around Gai Jun could see something was wrong with him. Action, let alone a smart pillow person.
Gai Jun buried his face in her hair, sniffed and kissed her gently, and said, "Don't worry, my husband knows it well."
