I, Liu Bian, the hero

Chapter 61 October
Ten days later, the envoys of the imperial court arrived in Chang'an and ordered Jing Zhaoyin and Zhang Wen to imprison Chang'an and Yang Dang, and ordered Gai Xun to be the commander of Chang'an.

Zhang Wen was overjoyed, and immediately led troops with Gai Xun to surround Chang'an Lingyang Dang's mansion, arresting people and ransacking the house.

Yang Dang was shocked, and shouted: "My father is the regular servant of the palace! My father is the regular servant of the palace!"

Hearing this, Zhang Wen sneered and said, "Your father is Yang Fang, the visitor of the Nangong Palace? He has already been arrested and imprisoned by His Majesty, so you just go to be your father's companion! Take him down!"

Yang Dang was desperate, and was arrested by the guards brought by Zhang Wen, and was immediately escorted to Luoyang for questioning.

Later, Zhang Wen sent people to search Yang Dang's house, and found 2000 million yuan of property, as well as other valuable jewelry, jade, etc., with a total value of no less than 3000 to [-] million yuan.

Rao Zhang Wen already knew that the Yang Party was corrupt and perverted the law, but he didn't expect to be able to confiscate so much money. Apart from yelling at him, he felt quite happy in his heart.

Suddenly, he caught a glimpse of Gai Xun's troubled face, and he asked puzzledly: "I have arrested Yang Dang, and Yuan Gu has been appointed as Chang'an Commander, why are you frowning?"

Gai Xun sighed lightly, and replied: "When I think that my Chang'an Ling was recommended by Zhang Rang, I will..."

Zhang Wen couldn't help laughing, and comforted Gai Xun, "Yuan Gu is at ease, if what I expected is correct, it is likely that Shi Hou instructed Zhang Rang to recommend Yuan Gu."

"really?"

Gai Xunhu questioned.

Although he used to be the prefect in Hanyang County, he also knew that Zhang Rang and other ten permanent servants used to overshadow the sky in the court. That Shihou is only ten years old this year, so how can he make Zhang Rang submit?That's Zhang Rang who is called 'Father' even by His Majesty today.

Seeing this, Zhang Wen said with a smile: "Yuan Gu has never met Shihou before, so he has such doubts. If you have, you will definitely not ask."

After all, he sighed from the bottom of his heart: "That is a smart and wise young master."

Gai Xun was very envious when he heard it: "It's a pity that I don't have the chance to meet..."

Zhang Wen laughed loudly, patted Gai Xun on the arm and said, "There will be a chance."

Old Chang'an ordered Yang Dang to be imprisoned, and all the counties under Jingzhao's jurisdiction were shocked. They no longer dared to disobey Zhang Wen's orders. In the past, it was quickly transported to Sansuke and Hanyang County.

During this period, Zhang Wen took advantage of Chang'an's imprisoning of Yang Dang to take over the forbidden army in Chang'an Palace.

Seeing that Yang Dang, who served his father in Zhongchang, couldn't beat Zhang Wen, and ended up with his father and son imprisoned and his family property confiscated. order to act.

It can be said that at this time, Zhang Wen, Jing Zhaoyin, is worthy of his name.

On this day, when Zhang Wen and Gai Xun were discussing the cost of military rations, Zhang Wen's servant sent a letter: "My lord, there is a letter from Luoyang."

Zhang Wen was a little surprised. After receiving the letter and seeing the signature, he frowned: "Yuan Benchu..."

Under Gai Xun's perplexed gaze, Zhang Wen opened the letter for a few glances, and then his brows became more and more wrinkled.

Seeing this, Gai Xun was puzzled and asked, "Yuan Benchu, Lieutenant of Sili? What did he say in the letter?"

Zhang Wen didn't hide anything, he frowned and said, "He invited me to conspire with the eunuch..."

Gai Xun felt a little strange when he heard it: "This is a good thing, why is Zhang Yin sighing?"

Zhang Wen deliberated for a moment, then said tactfully to Gai Xun: "Yuan Gu, if you listen to my persuasion, don't meddle in the affairs of the imperial harem. If someone invites you to conspire with eunuchs in the future, don't take part in it."

Gai Xun asked in surprise, "Why?"

Zhang Wen hesitated to speak. In fact, regarding Zhang Rang and other eunuchs, he, Huangfusong and Zhu Jun had discussed with Lu Zhi earlier. At that time, Lu Zhi hinted that they should not interfere and concentrate on dealing with Liangzhou A thing about the rebels.

Lu Zhi is the prince and grand teacher, Shihou's teacher, he can tactfully give hints, either Shihou instructed, or he saw something.

Considering that this time Zhang Wen reported Chang'an Ling Yang Dang to the Shihou, Yang Dang and his father's regular attendant Yang Fang were imprisoned immediately, Zhang Rang and Zhao Zhong did not stand up to intercede for the father and son, Zhang Wen felt vaguely Guess what.

But there are some things that he can't say clearly, otherwise it will be bad for the reputation of that Marquis Shi, so he can only hint Gai Xun: "When you escort the grain and grass to Hanyang County this time, you can ask the Marquis of Duxiang and General Zhu Zhonglang on the way to see them. What answer."

Gai Xun was skeptical, and took advantage of escorting the grain and grass to Hanyang County a few days later, he questioned Huangfusong and Zhu Jun one after another.

Sure enough, Huangfusong and Zhu Jun also hinted that he should not interfere with the eunuchs in the harem. The difference is that Huangfusong said that the current situation in the harem has changed compared to before, while Zhu Jun said that the most urgent task is to bring peace to the Liangzhou rebels. .

Others, the two didn't say much, which made Gai Xun endlessly daydream.

In late September, Zhang Wen wrote down the amount of Yang Dang's family property seized in Chang'an and reported it to the imperial court.

Shangshu's regular attendant Qu Mu asked Zhang Rang for instructions with this memorial, and Zhang Rang also felt quite a headache, but after hesitating again and again, he finally did not dare to hide it, and personally brought the memorial to Liu Bian to ask whether Liu Bian would stay or not. Send it out, or simply don't let Emperor Ling know.

Of course Liu Bian understood Zhang Rang's worries, and said with a smile, "Mr. Zhang, Zhongjunhou, what are you worried about now?"

When Zhang Rang heard it, that's right, I've turned into a seller and used it to buy it, so what are you afraid of?
But in the end he still made a plea: "...you must find a way out for the people below, please forgive Shihou."

Liu Bian thought for a while, and then acquiesced.

After all, according to Emperor Ling's character, if Emperor Ling finds out about this matter, Emperor Ling will think of a way to get rich by raiding his home and order the imperial censor to investigate the eunuch's father, brother, nephew, and most of the imperial censors in the court are scholars. It's hard to guarantee that it won't be used by Yuan Shao and others.

Instead, it's better to suppress this matter first. As for those moths, it won't be too late for him to deal with them when he takes over the position in two years. He can steal his family's wealth to fill the national treasury for nothing, and he can also gain a good name. Why not do it ?
Thinking of this, Liu Bian acquiesced in this matter.

But unfortunately, within half a month, this matter still spread in Luoyang, and He Jin, Yuan Shao and others took the opportunity to attack the eunuchs in the harem again.

Cai Yong did not participate this time, because he was reprimanded by Emperor Ling before, and he is now honestly calibrating the books in Dongguan.

Sure enough, Emperor Ling was shocked when he learned that there were 3000 to [-] million property in the home of a mere Chang'an Ling. , finally persuaded Lingdi.

As for Yang's party's 3000 million property, it was ordered by Emperor Ling to be used as military expenses for suppressing thieves.

At the end of September, Wang Kuang, the prefect of Changsha, went to the court to narrate the rebellion against the Zhou Dynasty and Guo Shi.

Liu Bian was very happy. Although it took a lot longer than Sun Jian in history, Wang Kuang finally lived up to his expectations.

It's a pity that Wang Kuang is a member of General He Jin, and he belongs to the group that is difficult to win over, so it doesn't take that much effort.

Afterwards, He Jin also learned of the matter, and performed Wang Kuang's meritorious service to Emperor Ling, and the Lingdi of Longyan Dayue named Wang Kuang the Marquis of Juping. This surprised Liu Bian. During the Zhou Dynasty and Guo Shi's rebellion, Wu Chenghou was granted the title.

After much deliberation, Liu Bian believes that the reason for this difference should be the place of origin of the two: Sun Jian is from Wu County, while Wang Kuang is from Taishan County.

But no matter what, the rebellion of Ou Xing, Zhou Chao, and Guo Shi is over. It is worth mentioning that Wang Kuang has never forgotten Liu Bian's previous instructions. In addition to pardoning the rebels who surrendered before the war, The rest did not leave a single prisoner. Although this caused the remaining party of Ou Xing and the three to flee everywhere, the determination of the court to not condone the rebellion was also proved, making the rest of the small rebels in Jingzhou tremble.

Wang Rui, the governor of Jingzhou, stated that he was enough to settle, so Liu Bian didn't pay much attention.

At the beginning of October, Ding Yuan, the newly appointed governor of Bingzhou, also went to the court to express his desire to pacify Yi and slaughter all Hus.

Compared with Wang Kuang's rebellion against District Xing, Zhou Chao, and Guo Shi, Ding Yuan's success in suppressing Yitu Gehu surprised Liu Bian even more.

After all, Ou Xing and the others were just peasants rebelling, how could they be as harmful as Shang Yi Tu Hu's rebellion?
Fortunately, Ding Yuan was not inferior to his bravery in history. After taking office, he quickly organized the county army and defeated the Hu cavalry several times.

What surprised Liu Bian even more was that in the list of Ding Yuan's subordinates, Liu Bian saw two familiar names: Bing Cao worked on Zhang Liao, and Wu Meng worked on Zhang Yang.

Needless to say, Zhang Liao is a well-known fierce general in history, his feats and martial arts are no less than Guan Yu, and it is even more rare that he values ​​love and righteousness.

Zhang Yang was a little weaker, but he had a gentle temperament and valued love and righteousness. Especially in history, he accepted Lu Bu twice. He had nothing to say about his friends. Unfortunately, he was killed by Yang Chou, his subordinate who wanted to defect to Cao Cao, and died unjustly.

All in all, these two are heroes worthy of Liu Bian's efforts to win over.

But what puzzled Liu Bian was that he didn't see Lu Bu's name in Ding Yuan's merit list this time. Could it be that Lu Bu hadn't defected to Ding Yuan's tent yet?
There is also Gao Shun, Lv Bu's general in history, Liu Bian also quite liked, but this person did not appear on Ding Yuan's list of meritorious service, which made Liu Bian a little suspicious: Could it be that Gao Shun was Dong Zhuo's from the beginning? Subordinate?
Although it is a pity that I did not see the names of Lu Bu and Gao Shun, the appearance of Zhang Liao and Zhang Yang still made Liu Bian very happy. It is a pity that Bingzhou is not yet stable, and it is not easy for Liu Bian to immediately try to transfer Zhang Liao and Zhang Yang into the group. Luo Yang.

But he is not in a hurry, because next year at the latest, Ding Yuan will send Zhang Liao and Zhang Yang to Luoyang. The problem is that in history, Ding Yuan sent Zhang Liao and Zhang Yang to Luoyang in response to Emperor Ling's call for warriors from all over the world. Xiyuanjun' matter.

But now, Cao Song, who sponsored the establishment of the Xiyuan army, had bought the position of Taiwei in advance, and Liu Bian didn't know if Emperor Ling would have extra money to form the Xiyuan army.

But it's not a big problem, the big deal is that Liu Bian will ask his second uncle He Miao to conquer Zhang Liao and Zhang Yang. After all, this time, it is He Miao who recommended Ding Yuan. Of course Ding Yuan is also grateful to He Miao. It has nothing to do with General He Jin. .

As he thought this way, he saw the first snow in early winter in the palace.

Four years of middle age is coming to an end, and five years of middle age will be ushered in.

Liu Bian knew that it was a year that was comparable to the four years in his middle age. At the beginning of the year, the resurgence of the Yellow Turban would give the Han family a head-on blow.
