Chapter 969 Chapter [-]
Li Wei was silent for a long time, and suddenly asked: "Is there no expiration date for the general's warrant?"
"Yes." He Feng said, "After the Central Plains War is over, this warrant will be useless."
Li Wei looked at He Feng thoughtfully, with a hint of shock on his face.After Xiao Lan left, he thought hard on the countermeasures in the carriage, but no matter what method he used, he had to mobilize troops in the end, otherwise he would not be able to control the development of the situation. He thought of the general's warrant.At the end of the previous year, when the general returned to Chang'an, he asked to return the warrant, but the general did not take it back, saying that letting him keep it was a promise to himself.This promise represents the general's trust in him, that is to say, this warrant may still be valid.Li Wei immediately decided to give it a try. If this warrant still works, the crisis in Chang'an may be resolved, and the bloody wind that hangs over Chang'an City may be dispersed.
But He Feng's answer made Li Wei startled.The validity period of the general's warrant has passed, but He Feng did not hesitate to obey his order, there must be a reason for this.This reason must be clarified, otherwise He Feng may turn against him at any time and cut off his head.He Feng is the nephew of the former great general He Jin, and he is related to the young emperor Liu Bian. Today, the emperor is the son of the young emperor's younger brother, Emperor Xiaoxian. Although there is no blood relationship between him and He Feng, in terms of etiquette, He Feng can still be regarded as Be a relative of today's son.The emperor is now controlled by Zhang Yan. In order to protect the emperor, He Feng is likely to obey Zhang Yan's order and start killing.
"Did the general say something to you before he left Chang'an? Did he expect the changes in Chang'an?"
He Feng shook his head, and said calmly, "I didn't see the general before he left Chang'an."
"Then you..." Li Wei became even more uneasy. He hesitated for a while, and then asked in a low voice, "If you deploy troops privately, you will lose your head regardless of success or failure afterwards, do you understand?"
He Feng smiled and pointed to the white silk on the desk, "I have the general's warrant."
"But it's past its deadline."
"Except for the general and me, no one knows that it has a time limit." He Feng looked at Li Wei with a smile, "Do you know its time limit? If you know the time limit of this warrant and give it to me now, then you It's a deliberate treason, and I can kill you on the spot."
Li Wei was terrified in his heart, and a thin layer of sweat immediately oozed from his forehead. Even in this hot day, Li Wei felt the chill coming to his face.The general is unwilling to take back this warrant. Could it be that he is guarding against me?This is his promise to me?I am in a very difficult situation in the court. I am between the eldest princess and the general. If I want to transfer troops, I must help the eldest princess.The general killed me, which is tantamount to a complete break with the eldest princess, and everyone knows what will happen next.
Why did He Feng change his mind at this critical moment?Why do you want to violate the general's military order?
"Master He, can you give me an explanation?" Li Wei wiped the sweat from his forehead, barely calmed down, and asked with difficulty.
He Feng handed Li Wei a palm-leaf fan, and said with a double-entendre smile, "It's too hot, I think Mr. Li's clothes are soaked through, so let's fan."
Li Wei took the cattail fan with a little embarrassment.
"Master Li bears considerable responsibility for today's situation in the court." He Feng's face gradually turned grim, "Since Lord Prime Minister took advantage of the opportunity to detain Ding Li and Zhu Wei, you and your wife avoided at the same time. The Zhongshujian and the eldest princess's mansion immediately lost their influence on the eldest princess' decision-making, and then made the imperial court's recruitment decision completely out of control."
"Now, can you understand the general's anger at that time?" He Feng's mouth curled up with a trace of contempt, "You and your wife's power comes from the whole of northern Xinjiang, but you are so dazed that you think you are full-fledged and can escape In northern Xinjiang, you can use the favor of the eldest princess to gain more power. As a result, you forced the general into a hurry and had to take a big risk to let nearly a hundred generals, generals and captains submit to the court at the same time. Make an attack, try to consolidate the forces in northern Xinjiang, and make up for the heavy blow to the forces in northern Xinjiang caused by your betrayal."
"You succeeded, and the general also succeeded, but the threat of warriors to the court and the country was exposed overnight. The eldest princess was afraid, and she was very scared, so she was eager to appease the rebel, even at all costs. What is the ultimate goal? Don’t you want to take advantage of the unification of the world to seize the military power in the hands of the general and remove the threat of warriors to the country?”
He Feng became more and more angry, and slapped the case table, "The crisis in Chang'an today all comes from your ambition, your betrayal, and it is you who pushed the big man into the abyss of ruin again. If you are like the past Just like us, if we hug each other tightly and let the forces of northern Xinjiang firmly control the court, how could the eldest princess seek the help of the prime minister? How could she completely lose control in the decision-making of recruiting? Can't wait to seize the military power of the general? How can you irrationally try to drive all the warriors from the northern border out of the court?"
He Feng was so angry that he kept roaring.Li Wei was terrified, and dropped the cattail fan to the ground by mistake.
He Feng panted violently, glared at the pale Li Wei, and snorted heavily, "The fan fell..."
Li Wei quickly picked it up.He didn't dare to say a word now, for fear of angering He Feng, he would cut him down with a knife.
"You are the one who started this incident. Since you have provoked the disaster, you must resolve this crisis." He Feng picked up the white silk on the case table, "The general handed over this warrant to you to show that he is Your absolute trust shows that he is willing to entrust the great man's land to you. The general trusts you, and of course I trust you too."
He Feng carefully put the white silk into his arms, and then said: "What didn't happen in Jinyang back then, happened in Chang'an today. Well, let's go back five years and start from the beginning."
=
Li Wei let out a long breath.
This time I finally made the right bet, I didn't expect He Feng to dare to fight with himself with his head up.It seems that the general's original choice was not wrong, this He Feng is really not simple.Back then, He Feng was notorious in the capital, he was a well-known gangster, fighting and making trouble was commonplace, and later he teamed up with Yuan Shu to assassinate the general in Jizhou, but was caught by Liu Ming, himself and others, and hung at the gate It was beaten like a pig's head.Unexpectedly, more than ten years later, he has become the sharpest knife in the general's hand, and he is also a very intelligent knife.
Since this knife has a brain, it must be treated with caution, and it must be held firmly in the hand, otherwise the knife may turn back and chop itself into a pulp.
Li Wei analyzed the situation in detail.
According to the current situation, the northern army has been controlled by the little emperor, and Zhang Yan will instigate the little emperor to command the northern army to enter Chang'an, and kill all the special envoys of Xiangyang and Qingyan borrowed officials suspected of treason. Kill Ying and Ru scholars together.After solving the opponents in the court, Zhang Yan's goal will be the eldest princess of Liyang.His ultimate goal must be to force the eldest princess to hand over power. The eldest princess knows this, so she will let Lu Bu lead the southern army to defend Liyang.Lu Bu is absolutely loyal to the emperor and the court, and he will hand over the eldest princess under Zhang Yan's persuasion in all likelihood.
At that time, the emperor will take power ahead of schedule, the eldest princess will be imprisoned, and the power in the court will be controlled by Zhang Yan and others. The scene of Dong Zhuo's use of force to seize power will be repeated in the court.
What will happen next?
Among the more than 50 counties and states actually controlled by the imperial court, nearly 40 people belong to the eldest princess, and a large part of these 40 people are scholars from Qingyan and Yingru, including Cai Disciples and old officials of Yong, Xun You, Xu Shao, Zhang Miao, Zang Hong and other ministers.These people knew that their way of life was cut off, and they might take risks. Like Yuan Shao, Yuan Shu and others, they raised their flags and launched a crusade under the banner of "killing traitors and sycophants on the side of the Qing Dynasty".
At the same time, the army will also split, and some generals will join the ranks of the crusade against the army.
At the same time, the rebels in Xiangyang will take the opportunity to counterattack.
So far, the world is in chaos, even if the general returns to Chang'an, it will not solve any problems. On the contrary, his appearance will make the court and the world even more chaotic, and the day when the society will be overthrown is imminent.
There is only one solution, and that is to ensure the safety of the eldest princess, to ensure the authority in the hands of the eldest princess, to let Zhang Yan and others retreat, and to control the crisis within an appropriate range, so that the general can return to Chang'an. Stabilize the situation quickly.
To achieve this goal, it is necessary for the general to rush to Yueyang with troops and horses to protect the eldest princess, and closely monitor Lu Bu and the generals of the southern army to prevent them from defecting.
I rushed to the camp of the Northern Army to prevent Zhang Yan and others from attacking Chang'an and Liyang before the Northern Army dispatched.When they learned that the general has a backup and that you have rushed to Yueyang to protect the eldest princess, they will have to reconsider their strategy in order to correct their goals and ensure that they can always control the development of the situation.
In this way, the northern army will not enter Chang'an tonight, and we have won the time to control and resolve the crisis.
As long as the Northern Army did not walk out of the Fenghao Camp, this crisis would be the assassination of the Son of Heaven, not a mutiny.As long as it is not a mutiny, this crisis will not get out of control. We can use various methods to solve various problems in the court, and then satisfy all parties, so that all parties can get their benefits without losing their vested interests. greater good.In this way, after the general returns, he can use his personal power to quickly stabilize the situation.
=
He Feng thought for a long time, his face became more and more ugly.Li Wei was very nervous, staring at him uneasily, worried that he would turn his face suddenly.If He Feng participated in Zhang Yan's mutiny, then what he said just now is equivalent to his death sentence, and the disaster of family annihilation is in sight.Li Wei was sweating like rain, he even heard his heart beating violently in his chest, and felt the blood churning violently in his body.
"How dare you lie to me?" He Feng opened his eyes wide, slowly grasped the handle of the knife with his right hand, and gritted his teeth, "Do you think I'm an idiot, crazy man? At this time, you still want to fight for power with the general, are you really An unreasonable lunatic. Do you want to use my power to help the eldest princess, regain her trust, and then take control of power, don't you?"
Li Wei felt dizzy, only felt the golden stars dancing in front of his eyes, and almost passed out.
"I can help you kill, Zhang Yan, Lu Bu, anyone, but I just can't help you protect the eldest princess." He Feng said angrily, "Who caused today's situation? Who? The general was killed He was so desperate that he had gone far away into the desert, don’t you think it’s enough? Do you want to chop off his head before you stop?”
"Crazy He, the ultimate goal of this crisis is the eldest princess. It is the authority in the hands of the eldest princess. This is the only way to control this crisis before the general returns to Chang'an." Li Wei said with difficulty, "The northern army came out of Feng Hao Daying, then there is a mutiny, no matter whether the mutiny is successful or not, and no matter how serious the consequences of the mutiny will be, the eldest princess and many ministers in the court will pay a heavy price, and the mutiny initiators will also be severely punished. At that time, what do you ask the general to do? If the person who initiated the mutiny is not punished, the general will bear the responsibility for the mutiny. He will not be able to gain a foothold in the court. Even if he manages to gain a foothold, he will end up in a very miserable future, unlike Dong Zhuo. There will be too much difference. If the mutiny is punished, the general will lose the hearts of the generals, the army will be divided, and the general will die faster."
"So, if we want to keep the general, if we want the general to return to Chang'an, he can control the army and stabilize the situation as in the past. This crisis cannot turn into a mutiny. We must firmly control this crisis to assassination. within the scope of the Son of Heaven, and to do this, first of all, the mutiny initiators must lose their target, how can they launch a mutiny without a target for the mutiny?"
"You hold the general's secret order, lead the army to defend Liyang, and protect the eldest princess. The possibility of a successful mutiny is greatly reduced."
"Zhang Yan is not absolutely sure. He will not let the Northern Army walk out of the Fenghao camp, let alone send the general, himself, and many followers to the road of defeat." Li Wei pleaded bitterly. "Crazy He, be sober. Once the mutiny succeeds, the eldest princess will lose her power, but it will be difficult for the general to control the army and stabilize the court. The general is the beneficiary of the mutiny, not the initiator of the mutiny. In the future, the initiators of the mutiny will firmly control the authority for their own survival. That is to say, it will not be the eldest princess, the little emperor, or the general who will control the authority of the great man in the future, but the initiators of these mutinies. Say, do you understand?"
=
He Feng thought for a while, the murderous look on his face gradually receded, but the suspicion in his eyes became more and more intense.
"Why do I always feel that this is a conspiracy." He Feng stared fiercely at Li Wei, and said indignantly, "Master Zhang Yan and the others put all their efforts into initiating this crisis at the risk of their lives and families, but all The benefits were taken by you alone, how can there be such a thing in the world? Don't lie to me, kid, or I will let you die without a place to bury you."
Seeing that He Feng was moved by his words, Li Wei felt relieved, and a faint smug expression appeared on his face, "After this crisis, the eldest princess' authority will definitely be weakened, and her decision-making on state affairs will be severely restricted. Because of the meritorious service of escorting the soldiers from northern Xinjiang, they will flood into the court in large numbers, and the scholars and warriors from northern Xinjiang will completely control the government. The various forces in the court will be strongly impacted by the treason case, and many people and forces will disappear from then on.”
"Because of the occurrence of this crisis, the general will become the de facto authority controller. He left the court, and detonated a crisis that could overthrow the country. When he returned to the court, the crisis disappeared, and the clouds opened and the rain dispersed. , everything returned to normal, this is his power. For a long time in the future, even in the initial stage after the little emperor came to power, the existence of the general is necessary. This is the only way to ensure the stability of the court and the The most powerful force for the steady advancement of ZTE's great cause is indispensable."
This sentence obviously played a big role in He Feng's determination. He stood up suddenly, cupped his hands and said, "I will lead the army to Liyang immediately, what about you? Will you go with me?"
He Feng's tone changed immediately, appearing very affectionate.Li Wei reluctantly returned the gift, and scolded He Feng bloody in his stomach, but his face was full of smiles, "Brother Zhuoyan, please go ahead. I will leave the city immediately and visit the emperor at Fenghao camp."

Taiwei Xunyou walked into the prime minister's mansion in panic.
Grand Sima Xu Rong, Royal Censor Liu He, and Ting Weiqing Xianyu Fuzheng were discussing something fiercely together. Seeing Xun You walk in, Xu Rong asked eagerly: "Master Xun, have you met Mr. Li Wei on the road?" ?”
"No." Seeing the nervous expressions of the three of them, Xun You immediately had a premonition that a major event had happened in the capital, "Where is the Prime Minister?"
"He went to Liyang, just left." Liu He picked up a file on the case table and handed it to him, "Look... something serious happened."
Xun You took the paper and quickly glanced at it, his face changed suddenly, and his hands trembled involuntarily.Mutiny, Chang'an's third mutiny began.I have escaped two disasters, can I escape the third disaster this time?
This is the decree of the Son of Heaven.In the memorial, the emperor briefly talked about the assassination of Weiqiao, and believed that it was the rebellion of Xiangyang and the treachery in the court. The emperor asked the prime minister and Da Sima to discuss countermeasures immediately and prepare for the arrest. The army entered Chang'an City in the early hours of the morning and launched arrests.The emperor suspects that someone in Liyang also participated in the murder. In order to ensure the safety of the eldest princess, the emperor asks them to keep the secret strictly, and try to rescue the eldest princess after the rebellion is arrested tomorrow and the trial is confirmed.
"This is a mutiny, it's a mutiny, and the emperor has been held hostage." Xun You's eyes widened, and he exclaimed repeatedly, "Quickly try to stop it, quick... Once the Northern Army is dispatched, the country will be over."
"How to stop it?" Liu He spread his hands helplessly, "Use your head to stop it?"
"My lord... my lord..." Chen Wei rushed over with a panicked look on his face, "My lord, Mr. He Feng is gathering an army, ready to kill Liyang..."
Xu Rong and Xian Yufu were taken aback, and they rushed out, "Quick, prepare the horse, prepare the horse..."
Liu He and Xun You seemed to be hit hard. They were sweating profusely, and sat staggeringly on the ground, gasping for breath, feeling like the sky was about to collapse.

Today, Cui An, Xu Shu, Shi Tao, and Meng Jian played around the Kunming Lake for a day. Because the scenery was so beautiful, the four of them lingered so much that they couldn't bear to return home until dusk.
On the way, they met a trusted aide in the mansion who came on a flying horse, "The emperor was assassinated at the Weiqiao. It is rumored that the people of Xiangyang and the court's treacherous collaborators did it."
The news was like a bolt from the blue, and the four of them were dumbfounded at the time.
"When did this happen? Who sent the letter?" Cui An was the first to react and asked anxiously.
"It's a letter from Mr. Chen Wei. It is said that the emperor was assassinated at dusk and was escorted to the Northern Army camp by Mr. Zhang Yan. Now Mr. Zhang Yan is gathering troops to enter Chang'an City to arrest the rebels. The prime minister and Da Sima are dispatching troops to stop them .”
"Go quickly, you go quickly..." Cui An pointed to Xu Shu and the three without hesitation and said, "Yuan Zhi (Xu Shu), Guang Yuan (Shi Tao), Gong Wei (Meng Jian), you go south quickly, take the Ziwu Valley, and escape to Let’s talk in Hanzhong. Hurry up, I’m afraid it’s too late.”
Xu Shu shook his head, "I can't leave. If I leave now, I'm not asking myself, and I will implicate other people. Cai Mao and Kuai Liang will all be killed."
"If you don't leave, won't they die?" Cui An waved his hands excitedly, and shouted sharply, "Don't you know what happened in Chang'an court? This may be the beginning of a mutiny, and Chang'an may repeat itself In the disaster of the mutiny back then, everyone would die. If you stay, you will die, but if you escape, you will have a chance."
Xu Shu, Shi Tao, and Meng Jian looked at each other, hesitating.An accident finally happened in Chang'an. The mutiny in Chang'an was something they had been looking forward to for a long time. The news should be sent to Xiangyang as soon as possible, so that Liu Biao, Cao Cao and Yuan Tan would send troops decisively to quickly contain the northern border troops in various places and aggravate the situation in Chang'an. Chaos, a fatal blow to the Chang'an court.Entering the city now is definitely sending you to death, it doesn't make any sense.
"Zhouping, come with us." Xu Shu resolutely made the decision to run away, "everyone in Chang'an knows about our relationship, and today we've been lingering outside the city for another day, and the charge of assassinating the emperor is considered a crime. , you will perish.”
Cui An's face showed horror, and beads of sweat kept rolling down his cheeks, "I... Cui has too many family members, I'm leaving, and more than 100 people are finished. I can't leave, I can't leave... ..."
Xu Shu wanted to persuade him again, but Shi Tao stopped him. He bowed his hands to Cui An, "Zhou Ping, take care, we will meet later."
Cui An smiled wryly and bowed in salute, "If you and my brother are destined, see you in the Nine Springs."
The four left with tears.

On the sixth day of August, in the early morning, Fenghao Camp.
Da Siong Li Wei flew to the northern camp.
At this moment, the lights in the camp were brightly lit, the drums were like thunder, and the flags were like clouds, and the army was ready to go, with a murderous look.
The little emperor was very excited, riding on the tall horse with high spirits, holding up the short sword and shouting non-stop, turning a blind eye to Li Wei's kneeling performance, and looking forward to riding the horse out of the camp immediately.
Zhao Yun helped Li Wei up, and sighed with relief, "It's a close call, a close call..."
Li Wei was drenched and exhausted. He grabbed Zhao Yun's arm and patted it feebly a few times to show comfort.Zhang Yan's expression was normal, Jia Xu's face was like still water, Tian Chou's expression was stern, Yang Feng looked at him proudly, the four of them were very indifferent to Li Wei.
Li Wei wiped the sweat off his face with his hand, and forced a smile, "Catch a few rebels, don't you need to use tens of thousands of troops? Your Majesty is young and doesn't know the seriousness of the matter, and neither do the adults?"
Zhang Yan smiled slightly, "Master Li's talent is enough to reach an army of [-]. From the looks of it, I should persuade Your Majesty to issue an order to recruit General Pang De from the West and General Hua Xiong from the North, otherwise it will be difficult for us to compete. "
Li Wei's eyes showed annoyance, and he opened his mouth to respond, but Zhao Yun had sharp eyes and quick hands, and gently pushed Li Wei, "There are too many people here, let's talk in the tent." Li Wei snorted coldly, and walked ahead.
=
The little emperor heard that the eldest princess had ordered He Feng, the general of Wuwei, to go to Liyang to escort him, and he lost his energy. He pulled off the helmet on his head, threw it on the desk, and said to Li Wei angrily , "Let's say it earlier, I've been busy all night. Going to sleep..." After finishing speaking, he left.
Zhang Yan winked at the poison.Yu Duxin understood, walked to Zhao Yun's side and bowed and asked, "My lord, are the battalions temporarily disbanded?"
"Dismiss, let the soldiers rest early." Zhao Yun waved his hand, "You all step back."
Yu Du led a group of northern army generals to bow and leave.
Zhang Yan sat behind the desk, bowed her head in thought.Jia Xu, Li Wei, Zhao Yun, Yang Feng, and Tian Chou sat around, thinking about their own problems without saying a word.The atmosphere in the big tent was oppressive.
He Feng led his army to Liyang, Zhang Yan was caught off guard by this sudden change.Originally, he thought that for the safety of Chang'an City, the Prime Minister and Da Sima would let He Feng hold the city no matter what to prevent the northern army from rushing into Chang'an City to massacre wantonly.He Feng's first task was to defend the capital, and he didn't dare to lead his army to leave without authorization.Unexpectedly, the Prime Minister and Da Sima decided to abandon Chang'an City in order to protect the eldest princess, and He Feng, a daring lunatic, obeyed this incredible order and flew to Liyang with an army.
He Feng had 1 horses in his hands. Before the Weiyang Palace was completed, this army replaced the southern army to guard the capital. No one could mobilize this army except the emperor, the eldest princess and the general.Now that He Feng has arrived in Liyang, even if Zhang Yan persuades Lu Bu to control the Southern Army, there is no way to force the eldest princess to hand over her power.He Feng has a special status in the army. He is the nephew of the former general He Jin, and he has a very close relationship with the royal family. Over the years, the eldest princess thought that the He family was almost wiped out, and took great care of him. The loyalty of the princess, Zhang Yan has no possibility of persuading him to sacrifice the eldest princess.
Zhang Yan felt that the development of the situation was beyond his control, and he had to revise his strategy.
"Is the Prime Minister still in Chang'an?" Zhang Yan asked.
"He has already gone to Liyang." Li Wei said, "The affairs of Chang'an City are now in charge of the Great Sima, and he has urgently asked the General to return to the capital."
Zhang Yan stopped talking, and the big tent fell into silence again.
Li Wei took a sip of water, coughed lightly, and said unhurriedly, "The current situation is all under the control of the northern Xinjiang people. If we use the case of assassinating the Son of Heaven, we can still achieve our goal."
Zhang Yan and Jia Xu looked at each other with a hint of disdain on their faces.Li Wei took advantage of the fire and came here, and when he heard the words "northern Xinjiang people" from his mouth at this time, he undoubtedly wanted to join forces and get the most benefit from it.
"Master Li, why don't you tell us your thoughts and let us hear your opinions?" Yang Feng said with a mocking smile, "What do you want to achieve?"
Li Wei didn't care about Yang Feng's ridicule, "Before the little emperor had no coronation ceremony, the queen mother should be in charge. Now that there is no queen mother, the eldest princess is in charge. This is what the ministers jointly do after the death of Emperor Xiaoxian." The decision made by the Han Dynasty should not be changed at present. Although the law of the Han Dynasty stipulates that when the emperor is too young, the minister Gu Ming should act on behalf of the state affairs, assist the emperor, and strictly prohibit the harem from intervening in politics. , the implementation of the fate-based system may cause even greater disasters. Dong Zhuo’s disaster is a lesson from the past. In order to ensure the success of ZTE’s great cause, we should not take risks and avoid repeating the same mistakes.”
After Li Wei finished speaking, he fixed his eyes on Zhang Yan, waiting for his response.Jia Xu and others also looked at Zhang Yan, waiting for his decision.Everyone is a sensible person, there is no need to talk about some things, as long as the main point is hit.
Under the eyes of everyone, Zhang Yan finally nodded, "Zhong Yuan, what are the specific countermeasures?"
Zhang Yan's affectionate address immediately shortened the distance between the two parties, which can be regarded as accepting Li Wei's suggestion and agreeing to cooperate with him.
"Close the assassination of the emperor as quickly as possible, kill all those who should be killed, and drive away all those who should be driven away." The smile on Li Wei's face immediately brightened, and he started talking endlessly. After thinking about the countermeasures, "The reason why the assassination of the emperor happened was because of the wrong decision-making of the imperial court. We used this to coerce the eldest princess to return the power to the emperor, forcing the eldest princess to immediately revise the official system, greatly reducing and limiting her power. Under the premise that the eldest princess is still in power, the imperial court restores the system of Gu Ming, and let Gu Ming ministers assist the little emperor in making decisions about state affairs, and at the same time quickly rebuild the checks and balances between imperial power and prime minister power, and establish a new official system that will help the great Han rejuvenate as soon as possible."
Then Li Wei explained and explained his strategy in detail, "Brother Feiyan, if you agree, we will implement it immediately."
"The Qingyan scholars were almost driven out this time. Lu Bu will definitely have resentment towards us in the future, so..." Yang Feng knocked on the table, frowned at Li Wei, "I see..."
"Don't touch him." Li Wei shook his hand resolutely, "It will take time to formulate and revise the official system, it will take time to force the eldest princess to delegate power, and it will take time to implement the new official system, and the general will come back soon, in order to finish it before the general returns. For all of this, we need to continue to threaten the eldest princess. This powerful threat comes from the Southern Army. The greater the threat to her, the greater the possibility of a mutiny, and the shorter the time she agrees to modify the official system. However, the soldiers of the southern army threatened the eldest princess with conspiracy, so someone needs to take the blame, and this person is Lu Bu. However, the general will not kill Lu Bu, at most he will be punished to guard the border county, so that his threat to us will be completely removed. .”
"Where are those Xiangyang people?" Zhao Yun asked.
"Let's keep it for now until the general comes back to deal with it. These people are still useful, at least they can help us earn some ransom money."
Everyone laughed.
"As long as we work together..." Li Wei looked at the crowd with a happy smile, "Then, in another month, the court will be dominated by our northern Xinjiang people."

(End of this chapter)
Li Wei was silent for a long time, and suddenly asked: "Is there no expiration date for the general's warrant?"
"Yes." He Feng said, "After the Central Plains War is over, this warrant will be useless."
Li Wei looked at He Feng thoughtfully, with a hint of shock on his face.After Xiao Lan left, he thought hard on the countermeasures in the carriage, but no matter what method he used, he had to mobilize troops in the end, otherwise he would not be able to control the development of the situation. He thought of the general's warrant.At the end of the previous year, when the general returned to Chang'an, he asked to return the warrant, but the general did not take it back, saying that letting him keep it was a promise to himself.This promise represents the general's trust in him, that is to say, this warrant may still be valid.Li Wei immediately decided to give it a try. If this warrant still works, the crisis in Chang'an may be resolved, and the bloody wind that hangs over Chang'an City may be dispersed.
But He Feng's answer made Li Wei startled.The validity period of the general's warrant has passed, but He Feng did not hesitate to obey his order, there must be a reason for this.This reason must be clarified, otherwise He Feng may turn against him at any time and cut off his head.He Feng is the nephew of the former great general He Jin, and he is related to the young emperor Liu Bian. Today, the emperor is the son of the young emperor's younger brother, Emperor Xiaoxian. Although there is no blood relationship between him and He Feng, in terms of etiquette, He Feng can still be regarded as Be a relative of today's son.The emperor is now controlled by Zhang Yan. In order to protect the emperor, He Feng is likely to obey Zhang Yan's order and start killing.
"Did the general say something to you before he left Chang'an? Did he expect the changes in Chang'an?"
He Feng shook his head, and said calmly, "I didn't see the general before he left Chang'an."
"Then you..." Li Wei became even more uneasy. He hesitated for a while, and then asked in a low voice, "If you deploy troops privately, you will lose your head regardless of success or failure afterwards, do you understand?"
He Feng smiled and pointed to the white silk on the desk, "I have the general's warrant."
"But it's past its deadline."
"Except for the general and me, no one knows that it has a time limit." He Feng looked at Li Wei with a smile, "Do you know its time limit? If you know the time limit of this warrant and give it to me now, then you It's a deliberate treason, and I can kill you on the spot."
Li Wei was terrified in his heart, and a thin layer of sweat immediately oozed from his forehead. Even in this hot day, Li Wei felt the chill coming to his face.The general is unwilling to take back this warrant. Could it be that he is guarding against me?This is his promise to me?I am in a very difficult situation in the court. I am between the eldest princess and the general. If I want to transfer troops, I must help the eldest princess.The general killed me, which is tantamount to a complete break with the eldest princess, and everyone knows what will happen next.
Why did He Feng change his mind at this critical moment?Why do you want to violate the general's military order?
"Master He, can you give me an explanation?" Li Wei wiped the sweat from his forehead, barely calmed down, and asked with difficulty.
He Feng handed Li Wei a palm-leaf fan, and said with a double-entendre smile, "It's too hot, I think Mr. Li's clothes are soaked through, so let's fan."
Li Wei took the cattail fan with a little embarrassment.
"Master Li bears considerable responsibility for today's situation in the court." He Feng's face gradually turned grim, "Since Lord Prime Minister took advantage of the opportunity to detain Ding Li and Zhu Wei, you and your wife avoided at the same time. The Zhongshujian and the eldest princess's mansion immediately lost their influence on the eldest princess' decision-making, and then made the imperial court's recruitment decision completely out of control."
"Now, can you understand the general's anger at that time?" He Feng's mouth curled up with a trace of contempt, "You and your wife's power comes from the whole of northern Xinjiang, but you are so dazed that you think you are full-fledged and can escape In northern Xinjiang, you can use the favor of the eldest princess to gain more power. As a result, you forced the general into a hurry and had to take a big risk to let nearly a hundred generals, generals and captains submit to the court at the same time. Make an attack, try to consolidate the forces in northern Xinjiang, and make up for the heavy blow to the forces in northern Xinjiang caused by your betrayal."
"You succeeded, and the general also succeeded, but the threat of warriors to the court and the country was exposed overnight. The eldest princess was afraid, and she was very scared, so she was eager to appease the rebel, even at all costs. What is the ultimate goal? Don’t you want to take advantage of the unification of the world to seize the military power in the hands of the general and remove the threat of warriors to the country?”
He Feng became more and more angry, and slapped the case table, "The crisis in Chang'an today all comes from your ambition, your betrayal, and it is you who pushed the big man into the abyss of ruin again. If you are like the past Just like us, if we hug each other tightly and let the forces of northern Xinjiang firmly control the court, how could the eldest princess seek the help of the prime minister? How could she completely lose control in the decision-making of recruiting? Can't wait to seize the military power of the general? How can you irrationally try to drive all the warriors from the northern border out of the court?"
He Feng was so angry that he kept roaring.Li Wei was terrified, and dropped the cattail fan to the ground by mistake.
He Feng panted violently, glared at the pale Li Wei, and snorted heavily, "The fan fell..."
Li Wei quickly picked it up.He didn't dare to say a word now, for fear of angering He Feng, he would cut him down with a knife.
"You are the one who started this incident. Since you have provoked the disaster, you must resolve this crisis." He Feng picked up the white silk on the case table, "The general handed over this warrant to you to show that he is Your absolute trust shows that he is willing to entrust the great man's land to you. The general trusts you, and of course I trust you too."
He Feng carefully put the white silk into his arms, and then said: "What didn't happen in Jinyang back then, happened in Chang'an today. Well, let's go back five years and start from the beginning."
=
Li Wei let out a long breath.
This time I finally made the right bet, I didn't expect He Feng to dare to fight with himself with his head up.It seems that the general's original choice was not wrong, this He Feng is really not simple.Back then, He Feng was notorious in the capital, he was a well-known gangster, fighting and making trouble was commonplace, and later he teamed up with Yuan Shu to assassinate the general in Jizhou, but was caught by Liu Ming, himself and others, and hung at the gate It was beaten like a pig's head.Unexpectedly, more than ten years later, he has become the sharpest knife in the general's hand, and he is also a very intelligent knife.
Since this knife has a brain, it must be treated with caution, and it must be held firmly in the hand, otherwise the knife may turn back and chop itself into a pulp.
Li Wei analyzed the situation in detail.
According to the current situation, the northern army has been controlled by the little emperor, and Zhang Yan will instigate the little emperor to command the northern army to enter Chang'an, and kill all the special envoys of Xiangyang and Qingyan borrowed officials suspected of treason. Kill Ying and Ru scholars together.After solving the opponents in the court, Zhang Yan's goal will be the eldest princess of Liyang.His ultimate goal must be to force the eldest princess to hand over power. The eldest princess knows this, so she will let Lu Bu lead the southern army to defend Liyang.Lu Bu is absolutely loyal to the emperor and the court, and he will hand over the eldest princess under Zhang Yan's persuasion in all likelihood.
At that time, the emperor will take power ahead of schedule, the eldest princess will be imprisoned, and the power in the court will be controlled by Zhang Yan and others. The scene of Dong Zhuo's use of force to seize power will be repeated in the court.
What will happen next?
Among the more than 50 counties and states actually controlled by the imperial court, nearly 40 people belong to the eldest princess, and a large part of these 40 people are scholars from Qingyan and Yingru, including Cai Disciples and old officials of Yong, Xun You, Xu Shao, Zhang Miao, Zang Hong and other ministers.These people knew that their way of life was cut off, and they might take risks. Like Yuan Shao, Yuan Shu and others, they raised their flags and launched a crusade under the banner of "killing traitors and sycophants on the side of the Qing Dynasty".
At the same time, the army will also split, and some generals will join the ranks of the crusade against the army.
At the same time, the rebels in Xiangyang will take the opportunity to counterattack.
So far, the world is in chaos, even if the general returns to Chang'an, it will not solve any problems. On the contrary, his appearance will make the court and the world even more chaotic, and the day when the society will be overthrown is imminent.
There is only one solution, and that is to ensure the safety of the eldest princess, to ensure the authority in the hands of the eldest princess, to let Zhang Yan and others retreat, and to control the crisis within an appropriate range, so that the general can return to Chang'an. Stabilize the situation quickly.
To achieve this goal, it is necessary for the general to rush to Yueyang with troops and horses to protect the eldest princess, and closely monitor Lu Bu and the generals of the southern army to prevent them from defecting.
I rushed to the camp of the Northern Army to prevent Zhang Yan and others from attacking Chang'an and Liyang before the Northern Army dispatched.When they learned that the general has a backup and that you have rushed to Yueyang to protect the eldest princess, they will have to reconsider their strategy in order to correct their goals and ensure that they can always control the development of the situation.
In this way, the northern army will not enter Chang'an tonight, and we have won the time to control and resolve the crisis.
As long as the Northern Army did not walk out of the Fenghao Camp, this crisis would be the assassination of the Son of Heaven, not a mutiny.As long as it is not a mutiny, this crisis will not get out of control. We can use various methods to solve various problems in the court, and then satisfy all parties, so that all parties can get their benefits without losing their vested interests. greater good.In this way, after the general returns, he can use his personal power to quickly stabilize the situation.
=
He Feng thought for a long time, his face became more and more ugly.Li Wei was very nervous, staring at him uneasily, worried that he would turn his face suddenly.If He Feng participated in Zhang Yan's mutiny, then what he said just now is equivalent to his death sentence, and the disaster of family annihilation is in sight.Li Wei was sweating like rain, he even heard his heart beating violently in his chest, and felt the blood churning violently in his body.
"How dare you lie to me?" He Feng opened his eyes wide, slowly grasped the handle of the knife with his right hand, and gritted his teeth, "Do you think I'm an idiot, crazy man? At this time, you still want to fight for power with the general, are you really An unreasonable lunatic. Do you want to use my power to help the eldest princess, regain her trust, and then take control of power, don't you?"
Li Wei felt dizzy, only felt the golden stars dancing in front of his eyes, and almost passed out.
"I can help you kill, Zhang Yan, Lu Bu, anyone, but I just can't help you protect the eldest princess." He Feng said angrily, "Who caused today's situation? Who? The general was killed He was so desperate that he had gone far away into the desert, don’t you think it’s enough? Do you want to chop off his head before you stop?”
"Crazy He, the ultimate goal of this crisis is the eldest princess. It is the authority in the hands of the eldest princess. This is the only way to control this crisis before the general returns to Chang'an." Li Wei said with difficulty, "The northern army came out of Feng Hao Daying, then there is a mutiny, no matter whether the mutiny is successful or not, and no matter how serious the consequences of the mutiny will be, the eldest princess and many ministers in the court will pay a heavy price, and the mutiny initiators will also be severely punished. At that time, what do you ask the general to do? If the person who initiated the mutiny is not punished, the general will bear the responsibility for the mutiny. He will not be able to gain a foothold in the court. Even if he manages to gain a foothold, he will end up in a very miserable future, unlike Dong Zhuo. There will be too much difference. If the mutiny is punished, the general will lose the hearts of the generals, the army will be divided, and the general will die faster."
"So, if we want to keep the general, if we want the general to return to Chang'an, he can control the army and stabilize the situation as in the past. This crisis cannot turn into a mutiny. We must firmly control this crisis to assassination. within the scope of the Son of Heaven, and to do this, first of all, the mutiny initiators must lose their target, how can they launch a mutiny without a target for the mutiny?"
"You hold the general's secret order, lead the army to defend Liyang, and protect the eldest princess. The possibility of a successful mutiny is greatly reduced."
"Zhang Yan is not absolutely sure. He will not let the Northern Army walk out of the Fenghao camp, let alone send the general, himself, and many followers to the road of defeat." Li Wei pleaded bitterly. "Crazy He, be sober. Once the mutiny succeeds, the eldest princess will lose her power, but it will be difficult for the general to control the army and stabilize the court. The general is the beneficiary of the mutiny, not the initiator of the mutiny. In the future, the initiators of the mutiny will firmly control the authority for their own survival. That is to say, it will not be the eldest princess, the little emperor, or the general who will control the authority of the great man in the future, but the initiators of these mutinies. Say, do you understand?"
=
He Feng thought for a while, the murderous look on his face gradually receded, but the suspicion in his eyes became more and more intense.
"Why do I always feel that this is a conspiracy." He Feng stared fiercely at Li Wei, and said indignantly, "Master Zhang Yan and the others put all their efforts into initiating this crisis at the risk of their lives and families, but all The benefits were taken by you alone, how can there be such a thing in the world? Don't lie to me, kid, or I will let you die without a place to bury you."
Seeing that He Feng was moved by his words, Li Wei felt relieved, and a faint smug expression appeared on his face, "After this crisis, the eldest princess' authority will definitely be weakened, and her decision-making on state affairs will be severely restricted. Because of the meritorious service of escorting the soldiers from northern Xinjiang, they will flood into the court in large numbers, and the scholars and warriors from northern Xinjiang will completely control the government. The various forces in the court will be strongly impacted by the treason case, and many people and forces will disappear from then on.”
"Because of the occurrence of this crisis, the general will become the de facto authority controller. He left the court, and detonated a crisis that could overthrow the country. When he returned to the court, the crisis disappeared, and the clouds opened and the rain dispersed. , everything returned to normal, this is his power. For a long time in the future, even in the initial stage after the little emperor came to power, the existence of the general is necessary. This is the only way to ensure the stability of the court and the The most powerful force for the steady advancement of ZTE's great cause is indispensable."
This sentence obviously played a big role in He Feng's determination. He stood up suddenly, cupped his hands and said, "I will lead the army to Liyang immediately, what about you? Will you go with me?"
He Feng's tone changed immediately, appearing very affectionate.Li Wei reluctantly returned the gift, and scolded He Feng bloody in his stomach, but his face was full of smiles, "Brother Zhuoyan, please go ahead. I will leave the city immediately and visit the emperor at Fenghao camp."

Taiwei Xunyou walked into the prime minister's mansion in panic.
Grand Sima Xu Rong, Royal Censor Liu He, and Ting Weiqing Xianyu Fuzheng were discussing something fiercely together. Seeing Xun You walk in, Xu Rong asked eagerly: "Master Xun, have you met Mr. Li Wei on the road?" ?”
"No." Seeing the nervous expressions of the three of them, Xun You immediately had a premonition that a major event had happened in the capital, "Where is the Prime Minister?"
"He went to Liyang, just left." Liu He picked up a file on the case table and handed it to him, "Look... something serious happened."
Xun You took the paper and quickly glanced at it, his face changed suddenly, and his hands trembled involuntarily.Mutiny, Chang'an's third mutiny began.I have escaped two disasters, can I escape the third disaster this time?
This is the decree of the Son of Heaven.In the memorial, the emperor briefly talked about the assassination of Weiqiao, and believed that it was the rebellion of Xiangyang and the treachery in the court. The emperor asked the prime minister and Da Sima to discuss countermeasures immediately and prepare for the arrest. The army entered Chang'an City in the early hours of the morning and launched arrests.The emperor suspects that someone in Liyang also participated in the murder. In order to ensure the safety of the eldest princess, the emperor asks them to keep the secret strictly, and try to rescue the eldest princess after the rebellion is arrested tomorrow and the trial is confirmed.
"This is a mutiny, it's a mutiny, and the emperor has been held hostage." Xun You's eyes widened, and he exclaimed repeatedly, "Quickly try to stop it, quick... Once the Northern Army is dispatched, the country will be over."
"How to stop it?" Liu He spread his hands helplessly, "Use your head to stop it?"
"My lord... my lord..." Chen Wei rushed over with a panicked look on his face, "My lord, Mr. He Feng is gathering an army, ready to kill Liyang..."
Xu Rong and Xian Yufu were taken aback, and they rushed out, "Quick, prepare the horse, prepare the horse..."
Liu He and Xun You seemed to be hit hard. They were sweating profusely, and sat staggeringly on the ground, gasping for breath, feeling like the sky was about to collapse.

Today, Cui An, Xu Shu, Shi Tao, and Meng Jian played around the Kunming Lake for a day. Because the scenery was so beautiful, the four of them lingered so much that they couldn't bear to return home until dusk.
On the way, they met a trusted aide in the mansion who came on a flying horse, "The emperor was assassinated at the Weiqiao. It is rumored that the people of Xiangyang and the court's treacherous collaborators did it."
The news was like a bolt from the blue, and the four of them were dumbfounded at the time.
"When did this happen? Who sent the letter?" Cui An was the first to react and asked anxiously.
"It's a letter from Mr. Chen Wei. It is said that the emperor was assassinated at dusk and was escorted to the Northern Army camp by Mr. Zhang Yan. Now Mr. Zhang Yan is gathering troops to enter Chang'an City to arrest the rebels. The prime minister and Da Sima are dispatching troops to stop them .”
"Go quickly, you go quickly..." Cui An pointed to Xu Shu and the three without hesitation and said, "Yuan Zhi (Xu Shu), Guang Yuan (Shi Tao), Gong Wei (Meng Jian), you go south quickly, take the Ziwu Valley, and escape to Let’s talk in Hanzhong. Hurry up, I’m afraid it’s too late.”
Xu Shu shook his head, "I can't leave. If I leave now, I'm not asking myself, and I will implicate other people. Cai Mao and Kuai Liang will all be killed."
"If you don't leave, won't they die?" Cui An waved his hands excitedly, and shouted sharply, "Don't you know what happened in Chang'an court? This may be the beginning of a mutiny, and Chang'an may repeat itself In the disaster of the mutiny back then, everyone would die. If you stay, you will die, but if you escape, you will have a chance."
Xu Shu, Shi Tao, and Meng Jian looked at each other, hesitating.An accident finally happened in Chang'an. The mutiny in Chang'an was something they had been looking forward to for a long time. The news should be sent to Xiangyang as soon as possible, so that Liu Biao, Cao Cao and Yuan Tan would send troops decisively to quickly contain the northern border troops in various places and aggravate the situation in Chang'an. Chaos, a fatal blow to the Chang'an court.Entering the city now is definitely sending you to death, it doesn't make any sense.
"Zhouping, come with us." Xu Shu resolutely made the decision to run away, "everyone in Chang'an knows about our relationship, and today we've been lingering outside the city for another day, and the charge of assassinating the emperor is considered a crime. , you will perish.”
Cui An's face showed horror, and beads of sweat kept rolling down his cheeks, "I... Cui has too many family members, I'm leaving, and more than 100 people are finished. I can't leave, I can't leave... ..."
Xu Shu wanted to persuade him again, but Shi Tao stopped him. He bowed his hands to Cui An, "Zhou Ping, take care, we will meet later."
Cui An smiled wryly and bowed in salute, "If you and my brother are destined, see you in the Nine Springs."
The four left with tears.

On the sixth day of August, in the early morning, Fenghao Camp.
Da Siong Li Wei flew to the northern camp.
At this moment, the lights in the camp were brightly lit, the drums were like thunder, and the flags were like clouds, and the army was ready to go, with a murderous look.
The little emperor was very excited, riding on the tall horse with high spirits, holding up the short sword and shouting non-stop, turning a blind eye to Li Wei's kneeling performance, and looking forward to riding the horse out of the camp immediately.
Zhao Yun helped Li Wei up, and sighed with relief, "It's a close call, a close call..."
Li Wei was drenched and exhausted. He grabbed Zhao Yun's arm and patted it feebly a few times to show comfort.Zhang Yan's expression was normal, Jia Xu's face was like still water, Tian Chou's expression was stern, Yang Feng looked at him proudly, the four of them were very indifferent to Li Wei.
Li Wei wiped the sweat off his face with his hand, and forced a smile, "Catch a few rebels, don't you need to use tens of thousands of troops? Your Majesty is young and doesn't know the seriousness of the matter, and neither do the adults?"
Zhang Yan smiled slightly, "Master Li's talent is enough to reach an army of [-]. From the looks of it, I should persuade Your Majesty to issue an order to recruit General Pang De from the West and General Hua Xiong from the North, otherwise it will be difficult for us to compete. "
Li Wei's eyes showed annoyance, and he opened his mouth to respond, but Zhao Yun had sharp eyes and quick hands, and gently pushed Li Wei, "There are too many people here, let's talk in the tent." Li Wei snorted coldly, and walked ahead.
=
The little emperor heard that the eldest princess had ordered He Feng, the general of Wuwei, to go to Liyang to escort him, and he lost his energy. He pulled off the helmet on his head, threw it on the desk, and said to Li Wei angrily , "Let's say it earlier, I've been busy all night. Going to sleep..." After finishing speaking, he left.
Zhang Yan winked at the poison.Yu Duxin understood, walked to Zhao Yun's side and bowed and asked, "My lord, are the battalions temporarily disbanded?"
"Dismiss, let the soldiers rest early." Zhao Yun waved his hand, "You all step back."
Yu Du led a group of northern army generals to bow and leave.
Zhang Yan sat behind the desk, bowed her head in thought.Jia Xu, Li Wei, Zhao Yun, Yang Feng, and Tian Chou sat around, thinking about their own problems without saying a word.The atmosphere in the big tent was oppressive.
He Feng led his army to Liyang, Zhang Yan was caught off guard by this sudden change.Originally, he thought that for the safety of Chang'an City, the Prime Minister and Da Sima would let He Feng hold the city no matter what to prevent the northern army from rushing into Chang'an City to massacre wantonly.He Feng's first task was to defend the capital, and he didn't dare to lead his army to leave without authorization.Unexpectedly, the Prime Minister and Da Sima decided to abandon Chang'an City in order to protect the eldest princess, and He Feng, a daring lunatic, obeyed this incredible order and flew to Liyang with an army.
He Feng had 1 horses in his hands. Before the Weiyang Palace was completed, this army replaced the southern army to guard the capital. No one could mobilize this army except the emperor, the eldest princess and the general.Now that He Feng has arrived in Liyang, even if Zhang Yan persuades Lu Bu to control the Southern Army, there is no way to force the eldest princess to hand over her power.He Feng has a special status in the army. He is the nephew of the former general He Jin, and he has a very close relationship with the royal family. Over the years, the eldest princess thought that the He family was almost wiped out, and took great care of him. The loyalty of the princess, Zhang Yan has no possibility of persuading him to sacrifice the eldest princess.
Zhang Yan felt that the development of the situation was beyond his control, and he had to revise his strategy.
"Is the Prime Minister still in Chang'an?" Zhang Yan asked.
"He has already gone to Liyang." Li Wei said, "The affairs of Chang'an City are now in charge of the Great Sima, and he has urgently asked the General to return to the capital."
Zhang Yan stopped talking, and the big tent fell into silence again.
Li Wei took a sip of water, coughed lightly, and said unhurriedly, "The current situation is all under the control of the northern Xinjiang people. If we use the case of assassinating the Son of Heaven, we can still achieve our goal."
Zhang Yan and Jia Xu looked at each other with a hint of disdain on their faces.Li Wei took advantage of the fire and came here, and when he heard the words "northern Xinjiang people" from his mouth at this time, he undoubtedly wanted to join forces and get the most benefit from it.
"Master Li, why don't you tell us your thoughts and let us hear your opinions?" Yang Feng said with a mocking smile, "What do you want to achieve?"
Li Wei didn't care about Yang Feng's ridicule, "Before the little emperor had no coronation ceremony, the queen mother should be in charge. Now that there is no queen mother, the eldest princess is in charge. This is what the ministers jointly do after the death of Emperor Xiaoxian." The decision made by the Han Dynasty should not be changed at present. Although the law of the Han Dynasty stipulates that when the emperor is too young, the minister Gu Ming should act on behalf of the state affairs, assist the emperor, and strictly prohibit the harem from intervening in politics. , the implementation of the fate-based system may cause even greater disasters. Dong Zhuo’s disaster is a lesson from the past. In order to ensure the success of ZTE’s great cause, we should not take risks and avoid repeating the same mistakes.”
After Li Wei finished speaking, he fixed his eyes on Zhang Yan, waiting for his response.Jia Xu and others also looked at Zhang Yan, waiting for his decision.Everyone is a sensible person, there is no need to talk about some things, as long as the main point is hit.
Under the eyes of everyone, Zhang Yan finally nodded, "Zhong Yuan, what are the specific countermeasures?"
Zhang Yan's affectionate address immediately shortened the distance between the two parties, which can be regarded as accepting Li Wei's suggestion and agreeing to cooperate with him.
"Close the assassination of the emperor as quickly as possible, kill all those who should be killed, and drive away all those who should be driven away." The smile on Li Wei's face immediately brightened, and he started talking endlessly. After thinking about the countermeasures, "The reason why the assassination of the emperor happened was because of the wrong decision-making of the imperial court. We used this to coerce the eldest princess to return the power to the emperor, forcing the eldest princess to immediately revise the official system, greatly reducing and limiting her power. Under the premise that the eldest princess is still in power, the imperial court restores the system of Gu Ming, and let Gu Ming ministers assist the little emperor in making decisions about state affairs, and at the same time quickly rebuild the checks and balances between imperial power and prime minister power, and establish a new official system that will help the great Han rejuvenate as soon as possible."
Then Li Wei explained and explained his strategy in detail, "Brother Feiyan, if you agree, we will implement it immediately."
"The Qingyan scholars were almost driven out this time. Lu Bu will definitely have resentment towards us in the future, so..." Yang Feng knocked on the table, frowned at Li Wei, "I see..."
"Don't touch him." Li Wei shook his hand resolutely, "It will take time to formulate and revise the official system, it will take time to force the eldest princess to delegate power, and it will take time to implement the new official system, and the general will come back soon, in order to finish it before the general returns. For all of this, we need to continue to threaten the eldest princess. This powerful threat comes from the Southern Army. The greater the threat to her, the greater the possibility of a mutiny, and the shorter the time she agrees to modify the official system. However, the soldiers of the southern army threatened the eldest princess with conspiracy, so someone needs to take the blame, and this person is Lu Bu. However, the general will not kill Lu Bu, at most he will be punished to guard the border county, so that his threat to us will be completely removed. .”
"Where are those Xiangyang people?" Zhao Yun asked.
"Let's keep it for now until the general comes back to deal with it. These people are still useful, at least they can help us earn some ransom money."
Everyone laughed.
"As long as we work together..." Li Wei looked at the crowd with a happy smile, "Then, in another month, the court will be dominated by our northern Xinjiang people."
