I, Liu Bian, Sanxing Han Dynasty

Chapter 31 The General’s Residence

He Jin had already dismissed the ordinary attendants and servants, leaving behind only those he considered his confidants. After Yuan Shao finished speaking, he said: "Gentlemen, please speak freely about what the general's palace will do next!"

Wang Qian, the chief historian, had an upright temperament. Among the people present, he was second only to He Jin in official position.

He Jin had always wanted to marry Wang Qian from the Qin and Jin Dynasties, and even hinted to Wang Qian that he could choose any of his two sons, but Wang Qian didn't seem to like any of them, and always ignored He Jin's hints.

Wang Qian said: "Your Majesty has been much more diligent in his work since this year than in previous years. If your Majesty can be consistent, we only need to work together to eliminate those treacherous people and promote honest and capable people, so as to make the Han Dynasty prosperous. In this way, we will Then you can retire with success.

The general is in charge of Luoyang, ranking above the Three Dukes. Henan is now stable. Who can say that this is not the result of the general?

Huangfu Yizhen, Zhu Gongwei, Liu Boan, and Gai Yuangu are all virtuous gentlemen. It is a good thing that your Majesty can use them. How can we feel jealous because these virtuous people are not close to us?

Instead of fighting with them, it is better to inherit the legacy of Mr. Sizhi and eliminate the eunuchs who deceive Your Majesty, so that the heaven and earth will be clear, and the sun and moon will be bright! "

Mr. Sizhi refers to Yang Zhen, who can be called the original spiritual leader of the Qingliu people.

Wang Qian was clearly aware of He Jin and Yuan Shao's tendency to engage in party struggle. He was not opposed to party struggle, but he believed that the targets of the conquest should be eunuchs, not people like Huangfu Song.

In fact, he has yet to say the harsher words. If the emperor can always reuse Huangfu Song and other virtuous people, even if the general is gone, what's the problem?

But even what Wang Qian thought was a relatively tactful statement would sound like a scolding to a caring ear.

Yuan Shao was the first to react and retorted: "How can Shao have any selfish motives? It's just for the general's consideration. What Wang Changshi said is not unreasonable, but where does he put the general? We are conquered by the general. How can one not have a heart of kindness?"

Yuan Shao's remarks didn't even address Wang Qian by name, and he just said to He Jin, "I only feel sorry for giegie."

Then he added: "As Wang Changshi said, it is the general's ambition to eliminate eunuchs, but if the general does not hold real power, how can we eliminate eunuchs! In the past, Chen Gong and Dou Gongwei were Taifu and General. Having fallen short, how does Wang Changshi hope that the general will eliminate the eunuchs today?"

Wang Kuang had always respected Yuan Shao, but after hearing this, he followed Yuan Shao's words and attacked Wang Qian.

Among the remaining subordinate officials, very few supported Wang Qian. Half of them stood by and watched, and the other half criticized Wang Qian like Wang Kuang.

After a while, He Jin stopped and said, "How come Chang Shi is drunk after just a few glasses of water and wine? Come on, help Chang Shi down to rest!"

"Thank you, General!" Wang Qian said goodbye to He Jin without saying a word. He knew that he secretly rejected He Jin's request to get married and had offended He Jin.

The current situation in the General's Mansion has made him forget about it.

Better go home.

The officials present watched Wang Qian leave, and only Wu Fu, a subordinate of Dongcao, stood up to see him off.

When they were farther away and no one else was around, Wang Qian sighed to Wu Fu: "You shouldn't have come to see me off."

"But I'm already here."

"Why so!"

Wu Fu had no regrets: "Someone should come to see the prince off."

Wang Qian shook his head and said, "I know you have integrity, but listen to me. Later you go back to the banquet and quietly tell the general that under your persuasion, I have decided to resign and return home tomorrow. "

Wu Fu didn't want to.

Wang Qian said angrily: "We say goodbye this time. I will return to my hometown tomorrow. From now on, I am afraid that we will never see each other again in this life. You regard me as an elder. Don't you even want to give me the last kind words of an elder?" Do you want to listen?" Wu Fu had no choice but to agree.

"Very good, let's go back now. I haven't been back to my hometown for many years. It's a good time!"

After Wu Fu returned, he only told He Jin that Wang Qian planned to resign due to illness, but did not say that it was him who persuaded him as Wang Qian suggested.

This was enough to dispel He Jin's dissatisfaction with him just going out to see him off.

After Wu Fu sat down, he heard He Jin talking about Shi Hou.

"Lu Ziqian once said that Shi Hou said that he participated in politics once every five days, but in fact he participated in correcting memorials and official documents almost every day for several months. This is not a secret in the palace. Your Majesty is also in Yutang Hall every day because of Shi Hou. Lu Ziqian assisted Shihou, so that the eunuchs could not block the audience. However, Shihou still had to go to Dongguan to listen to the lectures and could not be in Yutang Hall all the time. At this time, no one could stop the eunuchs."

He Jin made no secret of his pride in his nephew when he spoke.

Of course, those present could hear He Jin's thoughts, and words of praise for Liu Bian immediately poured in.

However, at this moment, a discordant voice came: "Sadly, Shihou was also deceived by the eunuchs without knowing it. Although Lu Ziqian was Shihou's teacher, he could not let Shihou know the evil of the eunuchs. How can we prevent people from feeling sad and sighing about it!”

He Jin was about to get angry, but when he saw that the speaker was Yuan Shao, he immediately kept his words in his mouth.

But he also suppressed his smile and asked: "Benchu, I told you in the past that this matter should not be heard by third people, how can I mention it here?"

Yuan Shao said: "General, it's not that I don't keep my promise, but I'm worried that Marquis Shi is still young and has not been tortured deeply by the eunuchs. If the eunuchs continue to block Shi Marquis's ears and eyes, it will be too late to regret it! Why don't I, Yuan Shao, do it? This villain! General, Shao failed to keep his word. Please punish me, General. Shao is willing to do so without any complaints!"

He Jin was not very happy, but he felt that Yuan Shao was indeed doing good for him and Liu Bian, and he could not say any words of punishment.

At this time, Wang Yun, Kong Rong and others didn't care what punishment Yuan Shao would receive. They just wanted to know what Yuan Shao said should not be heard by third parties.

"Forget it, let me tell you!" He Jin let out a long sigh, "In February this year, Marquis Shi met with me in the Western Garden and persuaded me to give up trying to kill the eunuchs like Duke Chen and Duke Dou. How could I If you can be willing, we will eventually break up on bad terms."

He Jin emphasized: "I don't want to tell you. I asked Lu Ziqian afterwards. He was upright and able to understand right from wrong. He never asked eunuchs when reviewing memorials and official documents, and was not affected by eunuchs. At that time, Shihou When persuading me, he did not just speak for the eunuchs. Marquis Shi also knew about the cruelty committed by the eunuchs' children outside, and he said he would never tolerate it. Later, I thought privately that Marquis Shi probably just didn't want me to take risks!"

Yuan Shao said: "Marquis Shi is young, how do you know about government affairs? He must have been seduced by the eunuchs!"

"Why did Benchu ​​say this?" He Jin asked.

Yuan Shao wanted to say more, but he noticed the gloom in He Jin's expression and immediately changed his words: "If I care, it will cause chaos, but the general must be on guard!"

Although Wang Yun and others felt that He Jin's words had some truth and were willing to believe that Lu Zhi's character was enough to teach Shi Hou well, they were also worried that Yuan Shao's words would come true.
