Dragon map of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 249 The new emperor ascends the throne, reign name Guangxi!
Zhongping six years, May [-]th.

On this day, the sky was heavy, and the dark clouds covered the red sun. The oppressive atmosphere seemed to overwhelm everyone in Luoyang City. In this sad atmosphere, Eastern Han No. 11 emperors, the emperor Liu Hong was buried.

Liu Hong, who was 33 at the time, succeeded to the throne at the age of ten. He has been in office for 23 years. The contribution made by Dahan Jiangshan.

After his death, he was posthumously named Emperor Xiaoling and buried in Wenling.

According to historical records, it is Lingdi, Han Lingdi.

Emperor Ling passed away, and the whole world mourned. In Luoyang City, in the streets and alleys, white lanterns were hanging in front of the eaves and doors.

Prince Liu Bian personally carried the coffin out of Beimang.

Prince Liu Xie took the initiative to invite Ying Ying to guard the mausoleum in March.

This generation of emperors has completely disappeared in history since then, and the history of the Han Dynasty is about to enter a new chapter.

……

……

June [-], morning.

It has been five days since Liu Hong's burial. This is also the first court meeting after the emperor's funeral. The court meeting is actually very simple. The discussion is about the crown prince's ascension to the throne. Now the court is dominated by the three princes. The Taifu Mushan is in charge of the army and the prefect. Dong Zhuo maintained this situation of fighting openly and secretly.

It is imperative for the crown prince to ascend the throne.

But how to ascend the throne is a very delicate matter.

Mu Shan forced Ding Yuan to death, entered Luoyang City forcefully, and the soldiers and horses under his command frightened the inside and outside of Luoyang City, but he is a very fearful person among civil and military officials in the court today.

He is in charge of the government, so naturally there are many people who are not convinced.

There are also many people who want to take advantage of this opportunity to weaken Mu Shan's military power.

"Tai Changqing!"

At the court meeting, Sikong Yuanfeng stood up, looked at an official in his early forties, and asked, "Now that the late emperor has been buried, the world cannot live without a master. Why is it an auspicious day for the crown prince to ascend the throne?"

Too often, it belongs to the Yamen of Jiuqing.

Tai Changqing, two thousand stones in the rank and salary, silver seal and green ribbon, in charge of the etiquette of the ancestral temple.

"Report to Lord Sikong, three days later, June [-]th is the most suitable day!" Tai Changqing was very low-key, he answered every question, but never said much, and slightly cupped his hands, saying: "This subordinate is already in the palace. The altar has been built in China, and it can be used by the prince when he ascends the throne!"

"What does Master Taifu think?" Yuan Feng turned his head, his eyes flickered slightly, and looked at Mushan.

"Did Lord Sikong ask the wrong person?"

Although Mu Shan is rough and mad, he is confused about small things but not big ones. He said calmly: "When the crown prince ascends the throne, matters of time are decided too often. As for the matter of ascending the throne, one should ask the empress and the prince's wishes, and someone is a minister of the Han Dynasty. , it should be the response of the Han Dynasty, and it cannot be surpassed!"

His words made all civil and military officials breathe a sigh of relief.

At least Mushan is like the court, and it doesn't show that kind of arrogance, which makes them a little happy. They are not afraid of fighting, they are not afraid of fighting, they are afraid of the kind of reckless man who is in power and will bring trouble to the court. A scholar is nothing more than a soldier.

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, now that the late emperor has been buried, there will be turmoil in the world. Please also ask Your Highness to ascend the throne as soon as possible to stabilize the hearts of the world!"

Yuan Feng took a deep look at Mushan, this kind of Mushan made him feel more difficult, but this moment was not the time to worry about it, he took a deep breath, turned around, cupped his hands facing the high platform, and said in a deep voice.

On the high platform, next to the dragon chair, Prince Liu Bian was sitting on a chair. Behind him, a beaded curtain hung down, and a graceful figure loomed.

"Mother?" Liu Bian was a little at a loss.

"What Lord Sikong said is true!"

Empress He made a faint voice from behind the bead curtain: "The crown prince's ascension to the throne is a major event related to the world. This palace is just a woman's family, so I can't say much. Please encourage me!"

"Please rest assured, empress, we will do our best!"

All the ministers knelt and bowed their heads to express their loyalty.

A court meeting, in fact, already has a charter, but it is just a process, and it will end soon.

After the end, all the ministers came out from the palace gate of the Nangong, and discussed the matter in small groups.

Yuan Feng and Wang Yun also came together.

"Yuan Sikong, once the crown prince ascends the throne, will Mu Shan be regent?" Wang Yun said worriedly.

Yuan Feng said in a low voice: "Now I don't care much about this place. The chaos in Luoyang has already disrupted the world. His Majesty's death will cause turmoil. If the crown prince fails to ascend the throne in time, I am afraid that the counties will have a reason to raise troops! "

King Qin seems to be two words, but it is indeed the root of the chaos in the world. Most of the chaos is caused by King Qin. They can't let this kind of thing happen.

"Just received the news that Huangfusong has led the Guanzhong Army and entered the border of Henan!"

Taiwei Lu Zhi came up and said to the two of them.

"It's too late!" Yuan Feng said: "If it had been earlier, there would have been a fight. Now that the Southern Army has been defeated and the Bingzhou Army has no leader, Huangfusong's Guanzhong Army alone will not only be unable to deal with Mushan, but will also cause serious damage. More chaotic situation!"

"It doesn't matter if you come, at least it can affect Mushan!"

Wang Yundao: "Mu Yuanzhong holds the military power, if he acts recklessly, it will be a disaster for the court. If Huangfu Song suppresses it, he will be let out of the way!"

"The military power in Mu Yuanzhong's hands is one thing. What's more, this person doesn't look like a reckless man. If in the future..." Yuan Feng is worried about Mu Shan's disposition. If Mu Shan is a reckless man, he can still deal with it. Yes, but Mushan's composure made him feel a little uneasy. The way of a powerful minister, the former great general Dou Wu and He Jin were all defeated by arrogance, but Mushan was different, he was still in charge of the army. Hold on, this gets a little tricky.

"Mushan's reliance, apart from his soldiers and horses, is nothing more than the Xiliang army. If it weren't for the Xiliang army, Jianyang would not have ended up like this in the battle of Xiyangting. If the relationship between them can be separated, maybe..."

Wang Yun squinted his eyes, his pupils were shining, he had already formed a plan in his mind, and said to the two in a low voice: "Huangfusong alone can't suppress Mu Yuanzhong, if Dong Zhongying is added, he, Mu Yuanzhong, will be mere The soldiers of Nanyang are nothing to worry about!"

"Maybe it's a way!"

Lu Zhi and Yuan Feng looked at each other and nodded.

The three of them were walking and discussing...

……

……

On June [-]th, on this day, the weather was fine and cloudless.

A enthronement ceremony is being held in Nangong.

The young Liu Bian, wearing a flat sky crown and a golden dragon robe with a black background, surrounded by civil and military officials, enshrined the world of Zen, succeeded to the throne, was named Guangxi, summoned the prefectures and counties, and amnesty the world.

From then on, Emperor Guangxi was the Son of Heaven.

Since the beginning of the day, the annals of history has entered the first year of Guangxi.

After Feng Chan ascended the throne, Emperor Guangxi removed Taifu Mushan from the position of Marquis of West E, and granted Mushan the title of Marquis of Ming, leading the position of County Marquis, hereditary. General Hussars, Kaifu Yitong Sansi.

County Marquis is already the limit of title.

The prince belongs to the Liu family, which has been the rule of the Han Dynasty for 400 years.

Mu Shan's title as Marquis of Ming did not cause much opposition. After all, with Mu Shan's current status, it is normal for him to be granted the title of Marquis of Ten Thousand Households.

Afterwards, Emperor Guangxi added the title of Mu Jing, the son of Marquis of the Ming Dynasty, to Jingping Zhonglang General, who led the Jingping Army and stationed in the eastern part of Luoyang, Sishuiguan.

In this year, Mu Jing was 14 years old, and was awarded an official position by the imperial court, which was worth more than two thousand stones.

This point caused the impeachment of many people above the court.

After all, Mujing is young.

Counting father and son, one with a salary of ten thousand shi and one with a military position of less than two thousand shi is really rare.

In the first year of Guangxi, on June 21st, Emperor Guangxi, who had already ascended the throne, once again decreed that from that day on, the imperial court would dismiss the general from his position, not build the mansion of the general, and rebuild the mansion of the great Sima. Lead with Taiwei.

This decree has aroused the speculation of many people in the DPRK.

On June 23, Emperor Guangxi decreed for the third time that Dong Zhuo, the governor of Bingzhou, had made great contributions in rescuing him.

In the eyes of many people, this is the entrance of a Xiliang barbarian.

But in the eyes of the Korean and Chinese military officials, this will be a war...

……

……

Taifu's house.

This majestic mansion was built not far from the Nangong Palace. Based on the old West Ehou Mansion, a dozen or so houses were requisitioned, the surrounding corridors were opened up, and the square corner towers were built. On the Taifu's plaque.

This has become the most sought-after Taifu's mansion in Luoyang City.

Since the opening day of Taifu's mansion, the gate has been opened to welcome guests from all over the world. In front of the gate, there is an endless stream of cars and horses.

After all, today's Taifu Mansion can be regarded as the most powerful mansion in Luoyang City.

"Zhao Ping, I have submitted to the imperial court to appoint you as the General of the Violent Bear, to command the Violent Bear Army!"

On the lobby, Mu Shan sat on his knees, his eyes swept away, and looked at the people under his command, with a relieved smile on the corner of his mouth, he took a sip of the wine, and then looked at his confidant Zhao Ping at the corner of his mouth, and said in a deep voice Said: "The Violent Bear Army is a certain main force. It will be stationed in Luoyang permanently. Whether it is military strength or combat effectiveness, it must not be pulled down. This will be the foundation for us to gain a foothold in Luoyang!"

Naturally, he is the Grand Tutor now, he must be at the top of the court, and he can no longer lead the army. The Violent Bear Army will naturally be released, but the Violent Bear Army is his direct line, and his direct line must be allowed to take over.

He has four confidant brothers, who have been his right-hand men since Mushroom Mountain was a bandit in the past. Among the four confidant brothers, Lei Gong has died in battle. He has the talent of a military adviser, but he is not a man who commands the army. Only Zhao Ping can rely on him.

"My lord, don't worry, I will definitely not let you down!" Zhao Ping cupped his hands.

"Huang Shao, the Nanyang Army is going to increase its troops and reorganize!"

Mu Shan looked at Huang Shao, and said: "I have already sent a report to Your Majesty, and named you General Zuo to lead the Southern Army!"

"South Army?"

"Yes, Southern Army!"

"Of order!" Huang Shao understood and nodded.

It is a great risk for Mu Shan to join the king's army from Nanyang, and these generals who followed him to Beijing also risked their beheading.

Of course, not everyone is in an excited mood, but some people are calm.

"My lord, these days His Majesty suddenly named Dong Zhuo the Grand Sima, I'm afraid it's for me!" Jiang Lu said while kneeling on one side, facing Mu Shan, cupping his hands.

"It's not what His Majesty wanted!"

Mu Shan shook his head: "It's nothing more than someone in the court is unhappy with a certain family and wants to check and balance the military power of a certain family!"

"Your Majesty agreed!" Jiang Lu said.

"He's just a child, he doesn't have any ideas, he doesn't have Jing'er's decisive power, and he doesn't want to deal with a certain family. The one who should come down is the Empress Dowager!" .

That figure is unforgettable at a glance, always hovering in his mind, but he is Mu Shan, he remembers what he is going to do, so he desperately suppresses it.

"The Empress Dowager?" Jiang Lu's eyes burst into a cold light: "Does she want to listen to the government behind the curtain?"

"Who knows for sure, maybe the empress dowager just wants to test a certain family!"

Mu Shan smiled indifferently, and said: "The imposing manner is not important. How can the Xiliang army gain nothing if they enter the capital? If someone opposes it, it will break the tacit understanding with Xiliang. Now we can't let the Xiliang army become an enemy. Let Dong Zhongying be happy for the time being, what we have to do is to stabilize the military power, and the most important thing is to take over the Bingzhou Army, as long as Luoyang's military power can be stabilized, Dong Zhuo will not be able to cause any disturbances!"

"Since the death of Ding Yuan, the Bingzhou army has withdrawn from Luoyang and stationed on the bank of the Yellow River!"

Jiang Lu nodded, thinking that what Mu Shan said was right, and that military power is the most important thing: "The three divisions of the Bingzhou Army have been torn apart. After Ding Yuan died, Zhang Yang fled back to the Shangdang, and Lu Bu and Zhang Liao had turned against each other. As for The reason is not very clear, and the Xiliang army is also trying to win them over!"

"This is absolutely impossible!"

Mu Shan said in a deep voice: "We must not let the Xiliang Army take down the Bingzhou Army!"

"I'm going to meet them myself!"

Jiang Lu nodded and said, "If you can't capture them, then you must send troops to exterminate them. Lu Bu is a man who is brave enough to win the three armies. We must not let the Xiliang army take them!"

"I will lead the army to deal with it!"

Huang Shao next to him also nodded: "After getting the arsenal, we have enough equipment to kill fierce generals!"

With two chips, Mu Shan felt relieved.

"By the way, how about those remnant soldiers in Beimang?" Mu Shan asked.

After the Battle of Sunset Pavilion, the Xiyuan soldiers and horses fled to Beimang, and the Southern Army was also defeated by the Xiliang Army in the last battle, fleeing to the Beimang defense line, and was finally rescued by Yuan Shao and Cao Cao, but it is said that Huangfu Company has already fought After death, the remnants of the Southern Army were all swallowed up by Yuan Shao and Cao Cao.

The strength of this group of remnants is not very strong, but it will affect the situation in Luoyang to some extent.

"The two are not on the same road, I can try to separate!"

Jiang Ludao: "Hit one, take one!"

"Are you sure?"

"They don't have a better way now!"

"You can give it a try. I don't care about the Xiliang Army, but apart from the Xiliang Army, I don't want Luoyang City to continue to have soldiers and horses that I can't control. Only with strong soldiers and horses can the power be stabilized and the states and counties People who are ready to move dare not be kings!"

After Mu Shan entered Luoyang, he became more and more calm. His eyes were vivid and his expression was calm: "Although we have entered Luoyang, I feel that this Luoyang is a prison. We have to be careful with every step. If we make a wrong step, all previous efforts will be wasted!"

"My lord, don't worry, I will do my best to stabilize the situation for my lord!"

Jiang Lu had a touch of excitement on his face. After many years of being in the cold, studying hard for many years, and hiding for many years, it is finally time to show his strengths. Studying as an official and ruling the world are the burdens of every scholar. He can realize his life's burden. The mood is excited.

"Here's another piece of news!"

Mu Shan handed him a document and said, "It's been a few days, take a look!"

"Huang Fu Song?"

"Ok!"

Mu Shan nodded: "Guan Zhongjun is not weak!"

"We must let them leave Luoyang!"

"I think so too!"

Mu Shan said: "But I'm afraid that someone above the court wants the Guan Zhongjun to stay!"

"My lord, they can't stay!" Jiang Lu sneered, and said, "My lord must be strong in this matter. The matter of Dong Zhuo has already been given to them by the lord. If the Guan Zhong army continues to stay in Luoyang, it will check and balance the lord's power and military power. Don't leave it to others!"

"I will!"

Mu Shan's eyes burst out with a sharp look.

"By the way, what is Jing'er doing these days?" Mu Shan asked suddenly.

After entering Luoyang, he was too busy, reorganizing the Violent Bear Army and the Nanyang Army, clearing up the situation on the battlefield, and fighting wits and courage with those ministers in the court. He still didn't care about Mu Jing. Now he is relieved a lot, but he thinks of his son .

"The son seems to be still in the sunset pavilion, rectifying his Jingping camp!"

Cheng Luo whispered.

"He has been in the sunset pavilion, does he seem to be such a peaceful person?" Mu Shan was a little puzzled.
