Three Kingdoms: The Yellow Turbans finally revolt

Chapter 195

The emperor dies.

The fewer words, the bigger the thing.

Liu Hong died.

Counting the delivery time, several days should have passed, and the further detailed report will probably be delivered later.

The three of Guo Jia were lost in thought, and they had already reached a consensus that Liu Hong's death would be the beginning of troubled times.

"It seems that we can't wait for the matter of the three counties. As usual, I will go to Yanmen first, but I guess there will be news later." Liu Qing said.

"Liu Hong passed away and Liu Bian succeeded, so He Jin's status will be further improved. Maybe he will follow Dou Wu and Chen Fan's example and get rid of eunuchs." Tian Feng said.

Tian Feng served as a censor in Luoyang, so he knows a lot. From Liu Qing's point of view, Tian Feng's words are close to history. It's a pity that He Tuhu was also slaughtered one day.

As for the current Luoyang, Liu Qing has no history to refer to.

After Liu Qing left the study, he went to bid farewell to Cai Yan. In fact, Liu Qing wanted to take Cai Yan to go to Yanmen with him, to see Yanmen Pass and the scenery beyond the Great Wall. Maybe she would compose a poem impromptu. Fan.

But now it's too late, Liu Qing has to go and come back quickly.

I had lunch with Cai Yan, and when I was eating, I reported in detail.

Liu Qing was about to fetch it for inspection, but Cai Yan took the first step and intercepted it.

As long as she was around, she would read the letter to Liu Qing, and both of them were used to it.

Cai Yan unfolded the silk book, but he didn't speak for a long time, his pink mouth slightly opened, as if surprised by the contents.

"what happened?"

"The great general He Jin is dead, the chariot general He Miao is dead, the captain of the military academy, Jian Shuo, is dead, the ten permanent attendants have all fled, and Empress Dowager Dong and Empress He are at loggerheads for the throne." Cai Yan wrote the contents of the letter. generalize.

Liu Qing silently put down the bowl and chopsticks.

Cai Yan tacitly handed over the silk book, and Liu Qing read it carefully.

The letter briefly explained the ins and outs. The ten servants wanted to go to Jian Shuo to murder He Jin. He Jin ordered Ding Yuan to kill Jian Shuo, and then surrounded the palace gate with troops to capture and kill the ten servants. He tricked He into the palace and killed him. He Miao, who accompanied him into the palace, was killed by He Jinbu.

Although these things are somewhat different from history, and the time of occurrence is also much earlier, but generally speaking, they are things they can do.

Therefore, there is nothing wrong with character determining destiny. Even at another time, in that environment, a person with that character would still do that kind of thing.

I don’t know if it’s a mistake, Cao Cao is not in Luoyang, otherwise he will persuade He Jin to be calm and not to be impatient, and if He Jin can calm down because of this, maybe he won’t die so early, so that Liu Bian has not had time in the future enthroned.

This is good, there will be another scene of fighting for the throne.

Liu Qing had to speed up again, and didn't eat the rest of the meal, and even didn't say goodbye to the old man, but ordered Dian Wei to immediately order the guards to assemble and stand by.

In order to expand the production of iron smelting, this trip to Yanmen is a must. Although his understanding of technology is limited, compared with the ancients, Liu Qing still feels that he has certain advantages.

……

Luoyang, Changqiu Palace.

How could the pampered Empress He bear the court meeting, guard the spirit, and go back to the Changqiu Palace exhausted physically and mentally.

She took Liu Bian by the hand, and the two of them strolled along the corridor. In this season, there are not many green leaves, and the garden is full of bleak scenes, just like her mood.

But when she thought of Liu Bian, Empress He decided to grit her teeth again and never let go. Even if there was one more Hongnong Yang family supporting Liu Xie, she would still defend the ancestral system.

"Mother, the master of etiquette who is too often today asked me if I want to be emperor, and I said that my mother wants me to be an emperor, so I will be." Liu Bian said as he walked.

Children can't hide things in their hearts, and they will say anything that day.

The speaker has no intention, but the listener has the heart. When Empress He heard that she was Taichang's etiquette official, it should be Dr. Taichang who taught Liu Bian etiquette. It was indeed Empress He's intention to go to Taichang to learn.

Although she refused to admit it, Empress He knew that compared with Liu Xie, who had been educated by the emperor since childhood, Liu Bian was really useless, so she invited the too-normal etiquette officer to teach.

The person in charge of teaching Liu Bian seemed to be a doctor named Li Ru, who was named after Confucianism, and it sounded like a well-educated and knowledgeable person.

Empress He was just curious, why did Li Ru ask Liu Bian this question?
Does he have a way?

Empress He's current situation, no matter what she catches, she will firmly grasp it. Together with this idea, she plans to meet Li Ru.

Immediately summoned Li Ru on the grounds of teaching Liu Bian face-to-face.

Half an hour later, Li Ru arrived as scheduled, and the maid led him into the hall. Li Ru only saw a magnificent figure sitting on the inside of a bead curtain in front of him.

"Dr. Taichang Li Ru, I have met the queen." Li Ru saluted.

"Excuse me, doctor, Bian'er, go see the teacher."

Liu Bian walked out of the bead curtain. When he opened the bead curtain, Li Ru caught a glimpse of the beauty inside the curtain. This was the first time he saw Empress He. Those who were born made her a queen, which shows her national beauty.

Liu Bian saluted with the etiquette he had just learned: "I have met the teacher!"

Li Ru supported Liu Bian with a smile, turned to the queen again, and waited quietly.

He naturally knew that Empress He told him to come here at this time, not really to teach Liu Bian.

Empress He winked at the maid, who understood and left with Liu Bian.

"Today, the doctor asked Bian'er if he wanted to be emperor. I don't know why the doctor asked such a question?"

"Empress Rongfeng, please forgive Li Ru for his offense. The prince argued that he lacked discipline when he was young, and his knowledge and etiquette were all inferior to the younger prince's association. Therefore, the empress sent him to Taichang to practice rituals. As the saying goes, 'The dead sheep And it’s never too late to make up for it’, but knowledge, etiquette and bearing cannot be achieved overnight, so the queen doesn’t need to criticize the prince for arguing too much.”

"Dr. Li's words are reasonable, but now that Bian'er's throne is facing challenges, how can Ai's family not be in a hurry. As a Taichang official, Dr. Li should follow the ancestral system and observe the national etiquette and support Bian'er."

Empress He said it lightly, and gave Li Ru a hat.

"Queen, don't doubt it. I am not only a doctor of Taichang, but also falsely claiming to be the teacher of the prince's debate. It is only right to support the prince's debate."

Empress He found that this Li Ru was very good at talking.

"Then how does the doctor want to support it?"

Empress He was also curious. Dr. Li Ruqu could not make a sound in court, so his support might be meaningless.

"The lower officials speak lightly, and those who can offer it are only a word." Li Ru said.

"You said."

"Now that the prince has the support of the Yuan family, what is lacking is real strength. Because the matter of the general has been criticized, the former generals did not dare to fight rashly. The Empress Dowager Dong can't rely on the Hussar General. , the queen has the advantage." Li Ru said.

Empress He frowned, as shrewd as she was, she immediately realized the meaning of the phrase "he's gone", but she still knowingly asked, "General Hussar, why is he not here?"

Li Ru sneered in his heart, although many things were palace secrets, but Empress He's style was not a secret in Luoyang City, she murdered Empress Song, forced the nobles to death, even the prince was not spared, for the sake of power, her heart was so vicious, To ask such a naive question.

It's nothing more than wanting to let Li Ru say bad words, but Li Ru doesn't mind, since he chooses to climb this step, he can't always think about being wise and safe.

"Queen, I heard that General Hussars once said that if he wants to be a big man, he will be ashamed for His Majesty, so let him be ashamed."

Empress He thought that Li Ru really liked her, so she really dared to say that.

"Then what should we do about this matter?" Queen He said.

"Of course I leave it to the subordinate officials."

Li Ru knew in his heart that once Liu Hong died, the world would be in chaos. He had to find a big tree to live in. At present, Empress He has the support of the Yuan family, and Liu Bian is the eldest son, who is taken care of by the ancestral rituals, so Empress He and Dong Among the queen mothers, he chose Queen He.

At the time when Yang Biao was in the early stage and Empress He was isolated and helpless, it was the time when he showed his value, so Dong Zhong, let it be counted as a meeting ceremony.

Empress He was very satisfied, so she asked, "What can the Ai family do?"

"Queen, my majesty still has a plan to cook rice. It is only natural for your majesty to pass away and the eldest son succeeds to the throne. The queen can regard this as an established fact and leave it alone. At the same time, according to the queen's order, Liu Xie canon King." Li Ru said.

"What a good rice is enough for cooking! In your opinion, where should the canonization go?"

After thinking about it, Li Ru replied, "Does the queen know Liu Qing of Bohai?"

"Of course the Ai family knows."

"I have heard rumors that Liu Qing has always been determined to restore the Bohai Kingdom. In my opinion, if you want to seal the Prince's Association, it is natural to seal a troubled place. From my point of view, the Prince's Association should be granted to the Bohai Kingdom. In this way, how can Liu Qing let it go?"

"In this way, isn't it the Aijia that Liu Qing hates?"

"The empress is in the palace, a little bit of hatred is nothing to worry about, but Liu Qing's plan is still the Bohai Kingdom, even if the swords and soldiers are combined, it is still going to the Bohai Kingdom, not the Luoyang Palace." Li Ru explained.

Empress He suddenly remembered that Liu Hong canonized Liu Qing as King of Bohai, but Zhang Rang suppressed and destroyed the imperial decree, and then His Majesty passed away and Zhang Rang absconded. This matter should be let go.

What Li Ru said can be called vicious, for the vested interests, regardless of the infamy, it is true enough, and she likes it.

She and her clearly framed the Empress of Song Dynasty and poisoned the nobleman Wang, which is "similar to the same purpose".

"This matter is feasible, and tomorrow Aijia will promulgate a decree!"

After Li Ru retired, Empress He thought about it again and felt that there was nothing wrong with it. She thought that this Li Ru had some abilities, but his style of acting was far from the word "Ru".

It may be more appropriate to call it "Li Du".

The next day, up.

When Empress He ordered people to announce the Yizhi, it really surprised all the officials, especially the Queen Mother Dong's faction, who were very angry, but the Queen's Yizhi was not a child's play, so they patiently heard to the end.

Then a heated "discussion" broke out.

Dong Zhong and Yang Biao are naturally the most fierce opponents. This is like the two parties in the negotiation. Before reaching an agreement, one party suddenly announced the result unilaterally.

This is not disregarding martial ethics, it is simply disregard of shame.

However, seeing Queen Mother Dong and Dong Zhong's faction were very angry, Empress He felt that even if this edict did not take effect, it would still make her very happy.

"Empress, the new emperor has a great deal to do with the country of the Han Dynasty, and we still need to make a long-term plan. I ask the empress to withdraw the imperial edict." Yang Biao took the lead in expressing his opinion.

Then a group of followers followed and begged the queen to take back her order.

On the other hand, Empress Dowager Dong and Dong Zhong didn't respond, obviously they haven't recovered from Empress He's despicable methods.

"The foundation of the great Han society is to follow the ancestral etiquette. Since ancient times, the elders should not be established, the sons should not be established, the elders should be abandoned, and the young should be abandoned, and disasters will eventually be caused. All the ministers who oppose it, who has a young son?"

When Yuan Kai asked, all the officials immediately fell silent. As he said, in fact, in everyone's heart, it is taboo to dispose of the elders and establish the younger ones.

"It's not impossible to abolish the elders and establish the young. To establish a king, one must establish virtues. The prince Xie has such a bearing at a young age. This is the true son of heaven bestowed by the late emperor. The late emperor loved him very much. This is known to all the world. , if His Majesty hadn't passed away suddenly, he would have done something like abolish the elders and establish the younger ones!" Yang Biao confronted.

Yuan Kai: "Sikong is very well-informed. I have been in power for decades, and I have never heard of it. I have never heard of His Majesty's intention."

Yang Biao: "Yuan Taifu is very old, I have never heard of it, and it is normal, so the late emperor appointed you Taifu to provide for the elderly, and entrusted Zhang Taiwei with the heavy responsibility of Taiwei."

"Yang Wenxian! Dare!" Yuan Shao stepped forward suddenly, but Yuan Kai gave him a look and made him retreat.

Yuan Shao withdrew, but the discussion among the officials did not retreat, and the noise broke out again for a while, and the topic of the discussion seemed to go off track again.

So it was another day of no fruit, and with the endless court discussions, both sides began to realize——

There will be no results in court discussions!
Fighting for power will still meet swordsmanship, let alone for the throne!
Yuan Kui was not in a hurry, because according to Dong Zhuo's reply, he had already caught a big fish, and he could return to Luoyang in two days.

Originally, Yuan Kai wanted to procrastinate, but he didn't expect that Empress He would make such a move in court today, which directly turned the debate into a debate.

Yuan Kai couldn't help thinking: Did Empress He come up with this technique by herself?

When did this woman have such a brain?

On the other hand, Empress Dowager Dong, who has always been good-natured, was so angry today that she dropped a jade bowl that she loved very much after returning to the palace, and turned that distress and regret into hatred for Empress He.

In her opinion, Queen He's actions were already provocative.

After the dynasty was dispersed, Dong Zhong and Yang Biao were directly summoned by Empress Dowager Dong to discuss countermeasures.

"Empress Dowager, at this point, it is no longer possible to win through court discussions. With the Yuan family around, it is really difficult to reach a consensus. It seems that the only way to do this is to rely on General Hussars." Yang Biao said.

"It should have been like this long ago! Let's see if she wants Liu Bian to take over when I lead the army to surround the Changqiu Palace!" Dong Zhong said.

"Then it's better to do it sooner rather than later, it's better to act tonight, great things will happen!" Yang Biao suggested.

Dong Zhong nodded speciously, but did not speak, obviously looking at the Queen Mother's opinion.

"This He family's anger is killing me. Don't do anything tonight. I want to retaliate. I will draw up an imperial edict and read it out tomorrow!" Queen Mother Dong said, still shrugging her shoulders, obviously not calmed down.

"Queen Mother, the overall situation is the most important thing." Yang Biao reminded.

"It's not too late. Since the Yuan family is against me, I can't move Yuan Kui, and I can't move Yuan Shao. Then the He family wants to provoke me and Liu Qing, so I will go with this matter and make Liu Bian the king of Bohai. Let Yuan Shao be the prefect of Bohai Sea, let's go to see the sea together!" Empress Dowager Dong said.

"The queen mother can't!" Yang Biao retorted directly, "I have had contacts with Liu Qing in Yingchuan. This son has a big weapon, a big ambition, and a military spirit. He always takes the lead in battle. Tens of thousands of troops killed him on the spot. Now the young master is guarding Yanmen on the border and has the heavy responsibility of guarding the frontier. He must not be punished. Only ignorant women like He Shi will provoke Liu Qing. Desirable!"

The feudal state and the prefect have always been independent, and the prefect of Bohai Sea is not in conflict with Liu Qing, but his name is different.

Yang Biao likes to use Yuan to disgust Liu Qing and make Liu Qing hate Yuan.

In Yingchuan in the past, Yang Biao saw Liu Qing kill the enemy with his own eyes. The scene of the Yingchuan family vying to win him over was really unforgettable. How could he, the Yang family, miss making friends with such talents.

"Then Liu Bian, where should I seal it?" Queen Mother Dong asked.

Yang Biao sneered: "Let's make Hongnong King, and the family of the minister will entertain him."
