Xuande

Chapter 470 You are the new general!
The third edict required to complete this matter was quickly completed under Zhang Rang's drafting.

After Liu Hong looked at it, he nodded and signed.

The Yuan family and the He family rebelled, conspired to rebel, and committed a heinous crime. The three clans were sentenced to be exterminated, and all those who participated in it were arrested and brought to justice. If the circumstances were serious, the three clans would be exterminated.

When the edict was completed, the Empress Dowager Dong and Dong Zhong both heaved a sigh of relief.

But it's not over yet.

"Your Majesty, when will this edict be promulgated?"

Zhang Rang asked Liu Hong with an edict.

Liu Hong seemed very tired, panting for breath while thinking.

Then he looked at Liu Bei.

"Xuande, when do you think it's best to promulgate? Are you ready?"

"Your Majesty, once this edict is promulgated, it will definitely cause an uproar. There is a high probability that He Jin and the Yuan family will not be arrested without a fight. I am afraid that they will immediately attack and jump over the wall. Therefore, the ministers need to act first and make some arrangements."

Liu Bei immediately said: "I suggest not to issue the edict for the time being, but to issue the edict at the same time when all the preparations are completed, and I have another suggestion. At that time, Your Majesty can..."

Liu Bei whispered softly in Liu Hong's ear for a while, and Liu Hong's eyes lit up after hearing this.

"Very good, very good, Xuande, just do as you said, don't issue an edict for now, wait until everything is ready... I just don't know how long I can last with this body..."

"Your Majesty is blessed and blessed, and you will definitely recover!"

Liu Bei said softly: "Before that, we need to hide the news and not let anyone know. Only by doing mental calculations but not intentions, can we defeat He Jin and Yuan's forces as quickly as possible, preventing them from responding in time."

"Are you sure?"

Liu Hong asked: "If necessary, Jian Shuo and Dong Zhong's forces will also be under your command, and you will arrange them as a whole."

Jian Shuo was not there, Dong Zhong immediately stood up and expressed his opinion when he heard about it.

"Xuande, I listen to you."

Liu Bei nodded.

"If necessary, I will consult with General Dong. From the current point of view, the most important thing is that General Dong guard Luoyang City and not let any suspicious people enter. The same is true for the Xiyuan Army. The specific matters will be handled by the soldiers and horses under the command of the ministers, and Luoyang City must be kept calm while killing the enemy."

Liu Hong nodded.

"Okay, then you will be responsible for the rest, Xuande, success or failure depends on one move, afterward, if He Jin is successfully eradicated, you will be the new general!"

He finally said yes.

Everyone in the hall looked at Liu Bei one after another, unable to tell whether they felt envy or expectation in their hearts.

But there is no doubt that no one objected.

Liu Bei looked astonished.

"I will live up to your majesty's high expectations! But please also give me the imperial edict. I need an edict to mobilize my subordinates, so that when I do things, I will have reliance."

Liu Hong thought for a while and nodded.

"The edict is kept by Xuande, and everything is arranged by Xuande. You... all listen to Xuande..."

Having said this, Liu Hong couldn't hold on anymore, and he fell asleep again.

No one knows when he will wake up next time, or if he will not wake up from sleep, so Liu Bei, the core figure of the entire operation, has become a well-deserved commander-in-chief.

Even the Empress Dowager Dong told Dong Zhong to obey Liu Bei's orders and not to mess around.

They generally feel that only Liu Bei has enough ability to handle this matter, and all of them cannot handle this explosive situation.

At this critical moment between life and death, no matter how much they wanted to do something, they severely suppressed this desire.

They put all their hopes and responsibilities on Liu Bei, and only wanted to be an executor.

In the side hall of Empress Dowager Dong's palace, Liu Bei, Zhang Rang, Dong Zhong, Jian Shuo, and five other empress dowager Dong who were listening were making the final plan together.

"Zhang Changshi, where are Yuan Wei and He Jin currently?"

"Yuan Kui is in Luoyang City."

Zhang Rang said in a low voice: "In the past month, he has been in and out of Luoyang City almost every day, but in the past four days, he has not been out of Luoyang City once. I don't know what he is planning. Our people can't go deep into the Yuan Mansion. check it out."

"Where is He Jin?"

"He Jin is recruiting and training soldiers in the military camp outside the city. As you expected, our people have found many people with wrong accents entering and leaving He Jin's military camp. It is suspected that Bingzhou soldiers have arrived in Luoyang and joined He Jin. barracks."

Jian Shuo thought a little deeper.

"If Bingzhou soldiers join He Jin's barracks, then Liu Hussar, will your army be able to deal with them?"

He looked at Liu Bei.

The eyes of other people also focused on Liu Bei.

"of course can."

Liu Bei nodded and gave them an affirmative answer: "In such a short period of time, they can't recruit too many soldiers. As long as the number does not exceed the limit, I don't worry. "

Liu Bei looked at Zhang Rang, and Zhang Rang also looked at Liu Bei, everything was silent.

"At the moment, Yuan Kai is inside the city, and He Jin is outside the city. These two obviously have a clear division of labor."

Liu Bei said slowly: "If we want to take action, we need to wipe out these two people at once. Give me the diplomats of the city, and I will mobilize troops to attack He Jin. I am confident that He Jin will be defeated and his army collapsed. Captain Jian and General Dong are required to take charge.

Jian Xiaowei and General Dong need to mobilize the Xiyuan Army and palace guards to strictly control every gate of Luoyang City, and then send troops to perform two tasks, one is to protect and the other is to annihilate. Allied officials and others need to be annihilated, while other people who have nothing to do with this matter need to be protected.

When the army is in chaos, it is hard to say whether there will be large-scale chaos inside and outside the city. At that time, it will be difficult for us to guarantee the order inside and outside the city, so we need to arrange people to protect the places that need to be protected in advance to avoid accidental injuries, and people who need to be killed It is also necessary to arrange for people to be responsible in advance to prevent them from escaping. "

Everyone has no doubts about Liu Bei's arrangement.

Then everyone discussed the list of executions.

It is not disputed by everyone that the diehard loyalists of the He family and He Jin must be eliminated.

The Yuan family and the former officials of the Yuan family inside and outside Luoyang City must also be eliminated. Liu Bei, Zhang Rang, and Jian Shuo are meaningless. Empress Dowager Dong and Dong Zhong are a little hesitant.

"The Yuan family has four generations and three princes. There are many former officials of the Yuan family in the court and in the local area. If all of them are eradicated, it may cause some disputes, right?"

Liu Bei firmly shook his head.

"It is because the Yuan family is too powerful, so once there is a rebellion, the influence will be particularly great. This time is a rare opportunity. If you can take the opportunity to wipe out the power of the Yuan family's disciples and former officials in Luoyang, you will definitely be able to wipe out the power of the Yuan family. Totally destroyed.

As for the local... as long as Yuan's rebellious edict is announced, no matter what they want to do, they will lose their righteous status. They will be thieves. The Sangong is too jealous, the inheritance of the great Han is much higher than that of the Yuan family. "

Zhang Rang and Jian Shuo strongly supported it, while Empress Dowager Dong and Dong Chong thought about it and nodded accordingly.

As a result, the killing of [-] families of Yuan's disciples and old officials in Luoyang City was finally determined.

In addition, there are [-] or [-] dynasties and families of officials and ancient literature schools surrounding Yuan and He. Because they help Yuan and He, they are considered to be eradicated.

Zhang Rang, Jian Shuo, and Dong Zhong then added the names of more than a dozen officials out of personal grievances. These people had offended them and were hated by them, so they wanted to take this opportunity to kill these people as well.

Empress Dowager Dong made only one request.

She wanted to personally execute the vicious woman she hated the most - Empress He.

For the rest, she's just a lonely old woman and doesn't care.

Finally, Zhang Rang looked at Liu Bei and asked, "We have already decided. Regarding the Jinwen School, do you have anything to decide?"

Zhang Rang asked this question, and the rest of the people also took advantage of the situation to look at Liu Bei.

"That's right, I still remember the intense battle between modern and ancient literature back then. As a member of the ancient literature school, Xuande didn't want to take this opportunity to eradicate some of the modern literature school? Even the Yuan family can be eradicated, let alone Is it another family?"

Dong Zhong looked at Liu Bei and asked, "Xuande, you just need to tell me who it is, and I will arrange people to kill them all, leaving no one left."
