Chapter 200

"Your Majesty, it is absolutely impossible!"

"Now the various forces in Luoyang are too complicated, and you have a lot to do with it. There is really no need to take this risk."

Hearing Zhu Yuanzhang's words, both civil servants and generals in Fengtian Palace changed their faces at the same time, and stood up to persuade them.

This plane of the Three Kingdoms is different from before.

The force value of the people here is too high, especially now Luoyang is full of fish and dragons, and it is unfathomable.

In the event that Zhu Yuanzhang passes by and something goes wrong, it will be a catastrophic situation for Daming.

"What are you afraid of?"

"Now there are more than 3000 masters from the Jinyiwei, Tiger Camp, and Falcon Camp who have sneaked into Luoyang City. Are these people just working for nothing?"

"This matter is settled like this. What you have to do now is not to persuade us to give up, but to think about how to ensure our safety in Luoyang City, and take care of the mess in Jizhou, and take care of us. "Zhu Yuanzhang directly interrupted everyone's persuasion with a wave of his hand.

"Father, if you must go, I will accompany you!"

"When I was appointed as the Captain of the Great Han, I stayed in Luoyang for a year, and I am quite familiar with it." Zhu Biao, who was sitting next to him, pondered for a moment and said.

Zhu Biao knew Zhu Yuanzhang's character very well. Since this person was going, no one could stop him. Since he couldn't stop him, he could only follow.

Today's Daming should be the strongest in cultivation, and the same is true for his combat power.

He had fought against Zhao Yun before, but in terms of force alone, Zhao Yun is not his opponent now.

Of course, the prerequisite is that he is fully armed and has a set of spiritual weapons, while Zhao Yun can only use ordinary weapons.

This is of course somewhat unfair.

But Lu Bu can only use ordinary soldiers. If he really met Lu Bu, Zhu Biao would definitely not throw away his spiritual weapon in a brainless manner, and replace it with ordinary soldiers to fight him fairly.

Zhu Yuanzhang pondered for a while when he heard the words, and finally nodded.

Now that Zhu Xiongying is in charge of the country, Zhu Biao is completely freed from government affairs.

Moreover, Zhu Yuanzhang is also aware of Zhu Biao's strength, and with Zhu Biao's protection, he is more at ease...

Three months later.

That is, May 189 AD.

In Luoyang City of the Han Empire, 32 grand and sad bells rang from the palace.

In the imperial capital, everyone from the Sangong Jiuqing to the traffickers and pawns understood that this meant the death of His Majesty the Emperor.

Almost at the moment when the bell rang, countless troops in the entire city of Luoyang began martial law, and countless spies and shadowmen began to move quietly.

Luoyang City is still prosperous, but the killing has already started quietly in the dark.

It can be said that many people in Luoyang City have been waiting for this moment since the beginning of this year.

Emperor Han Ling died.

The power struggle between relatives and eunuchs is coming to a head in the coming months.

And this will be an opportunity for many people.

Since the beginning of this year, there are not only Zhu Yuanzhang, but many others who have come to the imperial capital to take control of the central power of the imperial court.

Soon, that is, two hours after the end of the 32 bells, the imperial edict of Han Lingdi came out from the palace.

The prince Liu Bian succeeded the emperor, the empress dowager came to the court, amnesty the world, and changed the Yuan to the first year of Guangxi.

At the same time, Yuan Kui was worshiped as Taifu and General He Jin participated in the recording of Shangshu.Dong Zhong recognized Hussar General.

Zhu Yuanzhang quickly got the content of the will from Jin Yiwei. Looking at this personnel appointment, he couldn't help but smile, looked at Zhu Biao beside him and said with a smile: "Biao'er, do you understand?"

Zhu Biao gave his own understanding after a moment of pondering.

"In the Outer Dynasty, Yuan Wei and Dong Zhong belonged to a group, both representatives of the Sili clan, and they were working together to limit the power of General He Jin."

"During the inner dynasty, Empress Dowager He was promoted to be the Empress Dowager, and she was assisted by ten permanent attendants headed by Zhongchang Attendant Zhang Rang."

"But they alone cannot suppress the foreign dynasty, and can only rely on the general He Jin, who is a foreign relative, to check and balance the gentry represented by Yuan Wei."

Zhu Biao was talking confidently at first, but soon he couldn't help but a trace of doubt flashed across his face: "No, if this is the case, then the general He Jin and the eunuch's ten permanent servants should not be Is it a group? Then why do they still kill each other afterwards?"

"Hehe, in the face of real authority, there is no real alliance. In the current situation, the gentry, foreign relatives, and eunuchs seem to occupy one pole and check and balance each other. The situation of the Han Dynasty can continue to be stable."

"But this is based on the fact that everyone agrees with this set of game rules. If someone can't stand the temptation and wants to introduce new forces into the game, it will naturally be equivalent to breaking this set of game rules, and naturally they will not be able to play. down."

"Father means that He Jin doesn't follow the rules?" Zhu Biao said.

"Of course, as a foreign relative, he has limited military power. If he wants to expand his power of speech, he needs to get enough military support. He can't mobilize the troops in Sili, so he thought of the Xiliang Army."

When Zhu Yuanzhang said this, the corner of his mouth couldn't help but sneer.

"This person is really stupid. He thought that bringing in the Xiliang Army would strengthen his influence and win more voice from the gentry, but his behavior directly broke the political balance."

"Although the gentry felt the crisis, it was the emperor who felt most disturbed."

"He thought that since he was the elder brother of Empress Dowager He, he could stabilize the palace, but unfortunately he still didn't understand that Empress Dowager He preferred his own son more than his elder brother."

Zhu Biao understood.

He Jin's recruitment of frontier troops into Beijing directly led to the breaking of the current fragile political balance.

Both the emperor and the gentry felt the crisis, which forced the two parties to reach a tacit agreement.

The tacit agreement to kill He Jin.

"Biao'er, come with me, I'm going to meet Yuan Kai." Zhu Yuanzhang said suddenly.

"Now?" Zhu Biao glanced at the dark night outside.

You must know that there is a curfew in Luoyang now, Zhu Biao didn't expect Zhu Yuanzhang to go out now.

"That's right, it's not too late, otherwise things will change!"

"And I believe Yuan Kai also wants to see me." Zhu Yuanzhang stood up.

Zhu Biao nodded, and winked at Mao Xiang and Mu Ying Lanyu outside. The three nodded slowly, and then quietly disappeared into the night.

Yuan Kai, who is now the Grand Tutor of the Great Han Empire, is also the father of Yuan Shao, the head of the Yuan family of the fourth generation and third prince.

In the original history, he was directly killed by Dong Zhuo after Dong Zhuo entered Beijing.

And this directly led to two things. First, the Yuan family was directly divided into two. Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu each received one. The No.20 Eight-way Dispute Alliance was established. Although this alliance was initiated by Cao Cao, the real word The person involved is actually Yuan Shao.

The current Yuan family can be said to be the largest family in the Han Dynasty.

And such a family actually does not want the world to be in chaos.

At least in Zhu Yuanzhang's view, Yuan Kai didn't want it.

This is also the reason why Zhu Biao came to Yuan Wei today.

Soon in front of the Yuan family's mansion in Luoyang, the carriage in which Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhu Biao were riding stopped quietly.

And the door of Yuan's family was quietly opened at this time.

Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhu Biao didn't even get out of the car, and directly entered the gate of Yuan's house in the dark.

"Brother Zhu, you actually came to Luoyang. To be honest, I really didn't expect it!" Yuan Kai greeted him directly in the courtyard. The courtesy was extremely thoughtful, and he directly invited Zhu Yuanzhang into the living room.

Zhu Biao saw Yuan Shao, and he nodded towards Yuan Shao.

The two have met, not only met but also fought side by side.

The two had worked together under Huang Pusong for two years, so it can be considered a little friendship.

"Brother Zhu, where is Zilong, why didn't you come with you?" Yuan Shao asked in a low voice beside Zhu Biao while Zhu Yuanzhang and Yuan Kai were polite.

"Hehe, Zilong didn't come this time, he's helping me train in my hometown!" Zhu Biao smiled slightly.

"Brother, don't lie to me!"

"At this critical moment, how could Zilong not come? He is a peerless general with the talent of both armies. How could you not bring him with you?"

Yuan Shao grinned and patted Zhu Biao's shoulder: "Don't hide it anymore. Since you are in Luoyang, let's have a drink with Zilong another day. Just don't worry, I won't rob someone with you." !"

"I believe you are a ghost!" Zhu Biao nodded in response, but couldn't help complaining in his heart.

In the Whampoa Song Army before, when Zhao Yun showed his dual talents, he became a favorite in an instant. Yuan Shao, Cao Cao, and even Huangpu Song had recruited countless times overtly and secretly.

Especially Yuan Shao, only Zhu Biao knew about it no less than four times.

This family has an honest face but a dark heart. Zhu Biao knows him all too well.

"Brother Yuan, you understand my character. We know that people don't speak in secret. We came here this time to ask your brother for help. We want to become an official." Several people sat down as guests and hosts, and Zhu Yuanzhang didn't talk too much nonsense. Open your mouth directly.

Yuan Kai has dealt with Zhu Yuanzhang several times, and he thinks he knows Zhu Yuanzhang's details very well.

He sent someone to investigate Zhu Yuanzhang, and he knew very well that Zhu Yuanzhang was the head of a new powerful family in Julu County, Jizhou in the past two years.

Its influence developed extremely fast. In just three years, Jizhou had basically become the sphere of influence of the Zhu family, and even the influence of the Yuan family was compressed.

This is also the reason why he and Zhu Yuanzhang dealt with each other for the first time.

It can be said that the two are not acquainted with each other.

Of course, the reason why he didn't use his brains was because Zhu Yuanzhang gave enough benefits in exchange for the complete withdrawal of Yuan's forces from Jizhou.

In Yuan Kui's view, the reason why Zhu Yuanzhang was able to rise so quickly was that the Zhu family had at least one terrifyingly talented person.

Such things are actually not uncommon in today's big men.

For example, the Sun family was originally just a little-known powerful family. With Sun Jian's bravery, it has now created a large sphere of influence in the southeast.

Of course, as for the talent of the Zhu family's ability user, this is a family secret.

He didn't find out.

Of course, it doesn't matter, there are so many powerful and noble families in the world, and a person with powerful talents is like a carp crossing the river. He can't stop others from developing. As a family of four generations and three lords, the Yuan family's dictionary only has cooperation and win-win, and there is no fish to die. .

What's more, Jizhou was not really completely occupied by Zhu Yuanzhang, it's just that the Zhu family is the most powerful now.

The so-called tyrants and gentry have always been those who have me in you and you in me.

Wanting a powerful family to occupy a state is nothing but a dream, and the imperial court does not allow such a thing to happen.

Unless the Han court no longer exists, real chaos will be possible.
