The last three kingdoms

Chapter 1127 I would have turned my heart to the bright moon

Some people like to strike first, follow the principle of strike first, and control everything in their own hands first, but some people like to strike later, take action when they see a trick, make a decision and then act.

Liu Yin is inclined to the latter, at least in this Luoyang incident, he has been playing the role of late striker.

Of course, to strike late doesn't mean you have to wait for your opponent to make a move before you make your own move. All of this must be controlled within your own control of the entire situation.

Because Liu Yin holds such an excellent intelligence agency as the Lieutenant's Mansion, the Lieutenant's Mansion's pervasive reconnaissance methods, like quicksilver, give him the opportunity to gain insight into every aspect of the various forces in Luoyang City, and allow Liu Yin to sit firmly on the Diaoyutai.

Liu Yin knew very well that the battle for succession to the throne had reached the most critical moment, and Liu Chan's delay in making a statement showed that he was still hesitating and didn't know who to pass the throne to.At this time, the people in Liu Xun's family will obviously lose their temper, and they will definitely take certain actions to ensure Liu Xun's position.

The information provided by Chen Ji just proves this point. The General’s Mansion is making frequent moves, and it is obvious that some actions have already been taken. The most active one is General Zhenxi Zhonghui. Not only does he have frequent contacts with Jiang Wei , and in private, Zhong Hui's actions were even bigger, not only sending people to contact the Cao clan forces, but also dealing with the remnants of the former Jin Dynasty.

Regarding Zhong Hui's performance, Liu Yin was slightly puzzled, because Zhong Hui and Jiang Wei were too close friends. There is absolutely no reason to use the Cao clan and the remnants of the former Jin Dynasty to take action, which undoubtedly makes Liu Yin a little puzzled.

From this point of view, there are a lot of doubts about Zhong Hui, and it is true that Zhong Hui followed Jiang Wei's orders, but Jiang Wei certainly did not know that Zhong Hui was playing tricks behind his back.Liu Yin knew that Zhong Hui was an ambitious character, surrendering to Ji Han was nothing more than surrendering to the situation, and surrendering to Jiang Wei was nothing more than a hero who would not suffer immediate losses. Judging from Zhong Hui's consistent style, surrendering to Han was just a springboard That's all, maybe he will have bigger schemes and bigger ambitions.

In short, whether it is Jiang Wei or Zhong Hui, they are the focus of Liu Yin's precautions. Now the ceremony of offering sacrifices to heaven is getting closer and closer. Due to many matters involving the emperor's departure from the palace, many affairs in the court have been suspended. , all the officials are busy preparing for the ceremony.

If the other party wanted to do something, would they choose to do it during the ceremony of offering sacrifices to heaven?
Liu Yin asked himself secretly, even he couldn't help being a little shocked, yes, is there a better time than this?During the ceremony of offering sacrifices to the sky, the emperor was present, the princes were present, and the ministers and officials were all present. If you let yourself choose, such an opportunity is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.

Although the information provided by Chen Ji did not include the specific time of the opponent's attack, but with Liu Yin's keenness, it was easy to judge that the opponent might attack during the ceremony of offering sacrifices to heaven.

Of course, even if the other party didn't do anything, Liu Yin still had to do a good job in safeguarding the safety of the ceremony. When it came to the safety of the emperor and the court officials, no one dared to take it lightly.

The route for the ceremony of offering sacrifices to heaven has already been properly arranged. Starting from the Nangong Palace in Luoyang, passing through Kaiyangmen, Taixue, and Taimiao, and reaching Yuanqiu in the southern suburbs, there will always be guards at ten steps, one post at five steps, and one sentry post along the way. The emperor's car will be guarded by Habayashi guards at Jianshi, and the safety measures are very thoughtful and meticulous.

General Wei Li Qiu was in charge of the entire security work. Based on Liu Yin's understanding of Li Qiu, he was not too worried that Li Qiu would be instigated by Jiang Weizhonghui and others. One of the more important generals of the palace guards, he is loyal to the emperor and the court.Later, Li Qiu was promoted to General Wei and was in charge of commanding the Imperial Army. Over the years, whether in Nanzhong, Luocheng, or moving the capital to Luoyang, Li Qiu has always fulfilled his duties, performed his duties excellently, and guarded the safety of the palace. .

In this ceremony of offering sacrifices to heaven, Li Qiu, as the general of the guard, naturally shouldered the duty-bound responsibility to protect the holy driver, and Liu Yin also trusted him very much.

Under the command of General Wei, there are a total of four departmental governors to rule the forbidden army. Ma Bing, the left governor of the Habayashi Army, is the son of Ma Liang, Jiang Yuan, the son of Jiang Wei, the right governor of the Habayashi Army, and Dong Hong, Dong He, the governor of the Huben Army. The grandson of Hu Weidu was Fu Zhulai.

"Jiang Yuan?" Liu Yin pondered in a low voice. It is obvious that Jiang Yuan is the role that Liu Yin is most worried about among the forbidden army. If Jiang Wei does anything this time, Jiang Yuan will definitely become his internal support. Become one of the most powerful pawns in Jiang Wei's hands.

A governor from the right of Yubayashi led two battalions of the Habayashi Army, a total of 1 horses. If these 1 people obeyed Jiang Yuanyan, it would be impossible, but at the real critical moment, Jiang Yuan Yuan may not need so many people, just sending out some of his cronies and dead soldiers is enough to make a big deal.

It seems that on the side of the Yulin Army, Liu Yin still cannot take it lightly. No matter what method Jiang Wei uses to attack, ensuring the safety of the emperor is the top priority. Now that Liu Yin is the chief minister, his position in the court is natural He, Huo Yi, and Jiang Wei presided over this grand ceremony of offering sacrifices to heaven. Jiang Wei excused himself to be old and asked for leave. The main burden was still on the shoulders of Liu Yin and Huo Yi.

In this regard, Liu Yin and Huo Yi made a simple division of labor. Huo Yi arranged the ceremony and process of the ceremony, while Liu Yin was in charge of internal security affairs.Jiang Xin's refusal to show his face seems to have further confirmed what was mentioned in the intelligence of the Lieutenant's Mansion, Jiang Wei is absolutely inseparable from this matter.

Liu Yin couldn't help sighing. For Jiang Wei, he originally had great respect. As the last pillar of the Shu Kingdom, Jiang Wei's status in the Shu Kingdom is irreplaceable. After Liu Yin was reborn, he was very willing to join hands with Jiang Wei Together they came to protect Ji Han's banner.

I originally set my heart towards the bright moon, but the bright moon shines on the ditch, and by mistake, Liu Yin unknowingly walked to the opposite side of Jiang Wei. Because the heirs to the throne supported by the two sides are different, the relationship between the two sides has clearly become opposite. Even when they met at Shangshutai, Jiang Wei always kept a stern face, as if he was not close to strangers.It seems that this power struggle is no longer something that Liu Yin can avoid if he wants to.
