Three Kingdoms: I will act as a substitute for the Hunjun

Chapter 32 Zhang Liao’s true feelings revealed (please read and collect)

Liu Ming secretly laughed in his heart, how could you, a eunuch who relies on the emperor to gain power, leave the emperor and go it alone?

Now that the real emperor is bedridden, if you don't use me as a substitute, who will you use?
  Therefore, when Jian Shuo transferred Feng Fang to block the door a few days ago, Liu Ming did not panic at all, and took advantage of the situation to make the person blocking the door his father-in-law, and arranged a good general Zhang Liao beside him.

Although Zhang Liao is still young, based on Liu Ming's understanding of the relevant information of the Three Kingdoms, Zhang Liao is loyal and absolutely trustworthy.

"Who else does the general dislike?" Liu Ming said with a smile.

Now he is just watching the excitement and not taking the matter too seriously, trying every means to muddy the situation. The more opponents Jian Shuo, a powerful official, has, the less resistance he will encounter when he gets rid of Jian Shuo in the future.

Moreover, the more isolated Jian Shuo is, the more he will rely on himself, and the safer and more convenient he will be.

"Besides the Yuan family, the one that bothers me the most is Cao Cao." Jian Shuo said thoughtfully, "But he is your majesty's personal choice, and he has just taken office, so it is not easy to remove him. Besides, this general The generals under my command cannot be obtained by buying and selling."

"If you can't remove Cao Cao, then remove his father." Liu Ming said matter-of-factly, "Cao Song holds the position of Taiwei, but the world is in chaos and cannot be settled for a long time. Shouldn't this Taiwei be removed?"

"He should be exempted!" Jian Shuo said loudly, "But this old thief can no longer be tortured under my general. Cao Cao will fight me desperately, so I'd better send him back to his hometown. That's it! Hey, Cao Song bought it This position costs hundreds of millions of dollars, and the position of Taiwei can definitely be sold at a higher price."

Jian Shuo left happily.

Liu Ming looked at his back, and his eyes gradually became cold. As a dead eunuch with well-developed limbs and a simple mind, he should do his best, and sooner or later he will kill himself.

In this way, the conflict between Jian Shuo and the Yuan family will inevitably become more tense, Cao Cao will also hate him to the bone, and he can have both sides.

"I am relaxing in the palace, you don't have to follow me." Liu Ming walked out of the palace and said to the waiting maids and eunuchs. Then he seemed to be walking casually in Changle Palace, but he came to the back door.

Outside the back door were stationed 800 Bingzhou wolf cavalry brought by Zhang Liao, but this was a forbidden area of ​​the palace and could not be trained, especially the cavalry, and there were no conditions for training.

The palace door is ajar, and you can see through the gap that Zhang Liao is wielding a broadsword, while several sergeants are watching with interest.

Although he was wielding the sword at his feet, the shadow of the sword was heavy and the wind was whistling. Liu Ming didn't know how to use the sword, but through a door, he could feel the pressure coming towards his face, as if the blade would strike at any time. fell on his face.

Today, Zhang Liao is only nineteen years old and has such accomplishments. If he continues to hone himself on the battlefield for a few more years, he will definitely become a powerful general. No wonder he will be listed as one of the five good generals by Cao Cao.

Soon, Zhang Liao sheathed his sword, breathing evenly and without any effort. The sergeants who were watching gave thumbs up in praise.

In the palace confinement, they could not cheer loudly and could only express their respect for Zhang Liao in this way.

"Good sword skills!" Suddenly a voice sounded, breaking the calm.

Everyone hurriedly followed the sound and saw a man standing at the palace gate, looking at them with a smile. Although he was wearing ordinary clothes, everyone recognized him at a glance. That was the emperor!
  Zhang Liao hurriedly knelt down on the ground, and all the sergeants also knelt down in unison.

"This general is reckless and has disturbed His Majesty. He deserves death!" Zhang Liao said.

"Everyone, get up." Liu Ming said with a smile, "General Wenyuan came forward to speak."

Everyone stood up, Zhang Liao crossed the threshold and entered the palace.

Liu Ming closed the palace door, put away the smile on his face, and asked solemnly: "What is the purpose of Ding Yuan sending you to Beijing?"

"This..." Zhang Liao hesitated, then knelt down again with a plop, but was speechless for a moment.

"Don't lie to me, report the truth!" Liu Ming ordered with a low voice, his tone unquestionable.

Zhang Liao didn't dare to raise his head, but just by the sound of his voice, he knew that His Majesty was angry. In the past few days, every time he saw the emperor, he saw a smiling face. This was the first time he felt the emperor's majesty, but he didn't know why his majesty suddenly asked so seriously about Ding Jishi.

At this moment, he was having a fierce struggle in his heart. The Confucian idea of ​​loyalty to the emperor told him that he should not deceive the emperor. The crime of deceiving the emperor was a serious crime of beheading. Besides, his mission in entering the palace this time was to protect His Majesty. How could he deceive the emperor?

But Ding Yuan treated him well, otherwise he would not have sent him to the capital to be placed under the general's command. In this era, the trend of chivalry was still popular. Those who knew their best would die for their confidants, and he was unwilling to betray Ding Yuan.

The silence was a bit awkward.

"Don't think that I don't know." Liu Ming said seductively, "Ding Yuan sent Zhang Yang to Jian Shuo's command and you to He Jin's command, just to bet on both sides. He can have both sides, but he sent you two People are pushed into the whirlpool of court battles, and you have been at the border for a long time. You are simple-minded and only know how to kill the enemy. How do you know the terrible and insidious nature of this party struggle? "

"But each of you are rare generals in the imperial court. How can I bear to watch you die in a useless fight? Oh, get up." Liu Ming helped Zhang Liao up and patted his shoulder, showing his unbearable expression. He said, "Nowadays, the court is complicated. You should be careful. What did He Jin say when he sent you to the palace?"

In fact, Zhang Liao didn't need to explain. When he learned that Ding Yuan gave Zhang Yang and Zhang Liao to Jian Shuo and He Jin respectively, he guessed his intentions. As for He Jin's purpose, it was Menqing who originally planned it himself, but now it's just It was just a test of Zhang Liao's loyalty.

Zhang Liao was at a young and vigorous age at the moment. When he saw that the emperor cared so much for him and did not hold him accountable for concealing what Ding Yuan had confessed, he was deeply moved, and tears even flashed in his eyes.

At the same time, a trace of doubt flashed through his mind. No matter where he was at Bian Guan Ding or He Jin in the General's Mansion, the most common comment he heard about the emperor was that he was licentious and unethical, causing harm to the country and the people.

But in the past few days, it seems that he is not only amiable and caring for his ministers, but also smart and steady. He can see through Ding Yuan's plan at a glance, and he is completely different from the rumors outside.

"The general deserves to die. We should not hide it from your majesty." Zhang Liao immediately told Ding Yuan's plan and told He Jin's explanation honestly, "The general said that your majesty has been held hostage by Jian Shuo and is in danger, so let the general take advantage of Jian Shuo. Shuo went to the palace to protect His Majesty when he was mobilizing troops. He also said that it was Your Majesty who sent the last general to the palace. He also said that if he had anything to report, he could contact Pan Yin or the Queen."

"Although I live in a deep palace and am harassed by thieves, I have the general situation of the world under my control." Liu Ming said with a familiar face, "This time I have chosen you among the generals. , there is an important task to be handed over, but there is no need to rush it. On weekdays, you can just follow Jian Shuo's arrangements. I will come to you when I need you to do something. Remember, your biggest responsibility at the moment is to protect my safety. Don't let me down. !”

Zhang Liao hurriedly knelt down again, kowtowed, and said: "The final general will never let down the divine grace!"

"Go and do your business, lest you stay too long and get suspected by the thieves." Liu Ming smiled and waved his hand.

"Your Majesty, take care!" Zhang Liao kowtowed again, stood up and went to open the palace door.

Liu Ming suddenly asked: "If someone asks you why I called you into the palace, how should you answer?"

Zhang Liao turned around, thought for a moment and said, "Just say that Your Majesty likes the swordsmanship of the general, so he called the general in for questioning."

Liu Ming nodded, Zhang Liao saluted again, turned around, opened the palace door, walked out, and gently closed the palace door.
  What Zhang Liao said just now was true, Liu Ming can be sure of this.

Now that he could confirm that Zhang Liao was indeed his right-hand man, Liu Ming felt much more relaxed.

It was easy to do things in the name of the emperor. He had read many time-travel novels in his previous life. Ordinary forces tried their best to recruit civil servants and military generals, but there were many twists and turns. Unlike now, he could just say a few words in the name of the emperor and get it done. A good general.

But he also understands that his strength is extremely limited now, and he is still unable to make big moves. Fortunately, the Ling Emperor can continue in this half-dead state for nearly half a year. As long as he doesn't make any mistakes in the past six months, he should be able to accumulate the power to protect himself.

But the key is the next step. After the death of Emperor Ling, it will be either heaven or hell for Liu Ming.

So you have to make sure you develop enough strength to take control of the situation.
