Chapter 72 Hanling Emperor Liu Hong died, Cao Cao issued an edict! [Ask for the first order, ask for the full order! ] 】。

072

As Lu Qing and the others returned to Youbei, within half a month, a major event came out in Luoyang. Liu Hong died!

As soon as this news came out, many people knew that something big was going to happen, after all, the two princes were young, and behind them were the great general He Jin and the ten constant attendants, which would inevitably fall into a fight.

Lu Qing, who was far away in Youzhou, still sighed in his heart when he learned the news.

“Huangtu hegemony, in the end, it is just a handful of loess.”

Listening to Lu Qing’s words, Cai Yan and Sable Cicada beside him stepped forward and took Lu Qing’s arm respectively. Lu Qing smiled slightly, and then his eyes flashed.

“The world will be chaotic, and then it will be my home stadium in the north.”

With Liu Hong’s death, Crown Prince has never been settled.

Liu Hong finally appointed Liu Xie as the crown prince, but Liu Xie had no background and no maternal support, and Liu Hong did not think that the Ten Constant Attendants could really guarantee Liu Xie’s accession to the throne as emperor.

So even if he didn’t like his eldest son, he still chose him as the new emperor.

After all, Liu Wei has the great general He Jin behind him, and now he controls all the soldiers and horses of Luoyang City, and if Liu Wei ascends the throne and becomes emperor, then he still has the support of the army.

But Liu Hong would never have thought that when he was alive, the Ten Constant Attendants, who groveled to him, would actually do such a big disobedient thing.

They directly tampered with the edict and changed the person who inherited the throne from Liu Wei to Liu Xie.

In fact, it is normal for the Ten Constant Attendants to do this, with their conflict with the hundred officials, if they really let Liu Wei ascend the throne and become emperor, they will lose the emperor’s protection, and they will inevitably die without a place to be buried, so they can only make dangerous moves.

If it was Lu Qing, he would directly execute the Ten Constant Attendants before he died.

In this way, there will not be so many things, it can only be said that Liu Hong is still a little soft-hearted after all, and it can be seen from the fact that he called Zhang Rang as Rang’s father that he really has feelings for Zhang Rang.

Sure enough, as the Ten Constant Attendants took out the tampered edict, the Manchu Dynasty Wen Wu did not accept it. Among them, the biggest reaction was the great general He Jin.

For a while, in Luoyang City, there was a lot of saber rattling!

The Ten Constant Attendants control the Eighth School of the West Garden, while He Jin’s words control the Forbidden Army and so on. Great General’s Mansion, in the face of the current situation, He Jin’s face was not relaxed.

“My stupid sister actually believed the words of the eunuch.”

He Jin’s face was angry, originally the odds of victory on their side were greater, but no one expected that Empress He, who is now Empress Dowager He, actually turned against the water.

The reason for this is that Zhang Rang and others told her that since ancient times, foreign Qi Qi has bullied the emperor, and the power of their eunuchs comes from the emperor, and only they will truly preserve Liu Feng’s imperial power.

It turned out that the Ten Constant Attendants and others saw that the soldiers did not have an advantage immediately, and actually chose to find another way and directly chose to rely on Liu Feng. I have to say that this trick is really wonderful, although Empress Dowager He is ruthless, she is indeed a mother.

As Liu Hong’s health became worse and worse, his two brothers did become more and more presumptuous.

Sometimes in front of themselves, they can’t help but say some big contrarian words, maybe there is also the idea of usurping the throne. Now that his son is about to ascend the throne and become emperor, if the two brothers really have a reaction, what will happen to his son?

Therefore, she was persuaded by the eunuchs to directly refuse He Jin and others’ proposal to kill the eunuchs, and even because of Empress He, the Yulin Army was directly controlled by the eunuchs.

At least the entire Royal Palace Forest Army plus the Eighth School of the West Garden became like iron pass, but He Jin and the others, who controlled a small number of forbidden troops, were blinded.

When everyone was silent, Yuan Shao suddenly said.

“Great General, why don’t we summon King Qin’s division into Beijing?”

Listening to Yuan Shao’s words, everyone’s eyes lit up.

In fact, Yuan Shao put forward this idea to gather his army to enter Luoyang, whether it was himself or Yuan Shu’s army, it belonged to the Yuan family of their fourth and third princes.

If the Yuan family’s army can control Luoyang, then this Luoyang and the Son of Heaven will not be their final say in the future? However, although He Jin is a butcher, he is not really stupid, how could he not see Yuan Shao’s careful thinking? At that moment, he rolled his eyes and said bluntly.

“Good strategy, if this is the case, General Ben will order that Dong Zhuo, the assassin of Qingzhou, lead troops into Beijing, kill the eunuchs, and save my Dahan Jiangshan.”

Listening to He Jin’s words, everyone was stunned, especially Yuan Shao, which was different from what he thought!

“No! Great generals must not! ”

Yuan Shao and Cao Cao shouted together.

Yuan Shao shouted because his plan had failed, while Cao Cao’s words were sincerely concerned about the big man.

Because during the Yellow Turban Rebellion, Cao Cao had contact with Dong Zhuo, and it is not difficult to find out from Cao Cao’s eyes that Dong Zhuo is a tiger and wolf.

Dong Zhuo, who is very ambitious, if he let him enter Luoyang, then he will still have it?

But He Jin has already made a decision, the nearest King Qin’s soldiers and horses are Yuan Shao of Jizhou, Yuan Shu of Yanzhou, and Dong Zhuo of Qingzhou, he can’t let the Yuan family of the fourth and third princes enter Luoyang, in that case, even if Liu Wei really ascends the throne and becomes emperor, isn’t this great general himself a decoration?

In He Jin’s opinion, compared to the Yuan family of the fourth and third princes, Dong Zhuo’s threat is much smaller.

It’s just that He Jin thinks very well, but there are always many things in this world that you can’t predict. The news of this plot today was exposed, and the Ten Constant Attendants and the others were frightened!

How could this pampered forbidden army, the Yulin Army, and the Eighth School of the West Garden confront the border army that could fight a good battle? Dong Zhuo’s current Qingzhou Iron Rider, some of which are old subordinates from the Western Liang Iron Rider.

Now Dong Zhuo has 100,000 iron horses, all of them are fierce generals like wolves, if they confront such an army, Luoyang’s soldiers and horses are completely inadequate.

Therefore, the panicked Ten Constant Attendants and the others were in a hurry at the moment, and they all gathered together to discuss.

In the end, a good way was obtained, that is, to deceive Empress Dowager He, saying that they were willing to negotiate peace, and were willing to give up the soldiers and horses such as the Eighth School of the West Garden in their hands, and only wanted a life.

But will the ten permanent attendants who are addicted to power really give up? That obviously won’t.

Their ultimate goal was to trick He Jin into entering the palace, and then kill He Jin with a dead man.

As long as He Jin died, then the forbidden army under him could be controlled, and Dong Zhuo would not be able to enter Luoyang. The plan went smoothly, but Cao Cao saw a clue, but He Jin ignored it.

After all, even he knew that there were certain risks in letting Dong Zhuo enter Luoyang, and if it could be resolved peacefully, it would naturally be the best.

He Jin didn’t think there would be any danger, so he entered the palace so calmly. But the final result was that in Empress Dowager He’s palace, dozens of Xiwu eunuchs who suddenly appeared directly killed He Jin and cut it into a mess.

This scene can be described as frightening Empress Dowager He, she never expected that she would actually kill her eldest brother He Jin because of her own thoughts, and now that the Ten Constant Attendants are in power, it seems that everything is powerless.

The news of He Jin’s murder that day came out of the palace, and the entire Luoyang instantly shook. Yuan Shao, Yuan Shu and the others were even more frightened.

He Jin, the boss, has been killed, so will the next ten permanent attendants take action against them?

Under such threats, Yuan Shao and others chose to make a desperate bet, and they used the reputation of the fourth and third princes to incite the forbidden generals. Cao Cao’s words, on the other hand, used his relationship as a captain of the West Garden to persuade some of the West Garden generals.

Everything seems to have returned to square one.

The angry Praetorian soldiers stormed the palace and then killed Zhang Rang and other Ten Constant Attendants.

Only one Duan Jue escaped, and he directly escaped from Luoyang with the new emperor Liu Feng, preparing to go down to the south and other places, and then reconsider the matter of making a comeback.

After all, as long as you hold the emperor’s words, some princes are willing to accept it.

But at this time, Dong Zhuo, who led troops to Luoyang, arrived, and he directly led the Qingzhou Iron Horse to intercept Duan Jue.

After some fighting, all the elite of the Yulin Army led by Duan Jue were stationed, and the little emperor Liu Wei was obtained by Dong Zhuo’s army. Since then, Dong Zhuo’s era has begun!

….

In the Youzhou Royal Mansion, Lu Qing looked at the information in his hand and said with a sigh.

“After all, Dong Zhuo, a tiger and wolf, entered Luoyang, and the people of Luoyang suffered.”

Listening to Lu Qing’s words, Guo Jia on the side nodded.

“Dong Zhuo is a tiger wolf, after he entered Luoyang, he coerced the ministers, and even brought his sword to the palace.”

When he said this, Guo Jia also glanced at Lu Qing, after all, if you want to say this arrogant words, no one in the whole world can compare to Lu Qing. At the beginning, Lu Qing was a horse in the palace, and Dong Zhuo could only be a pediatrician.

But everyone also knows that this is just the beginning, as the Qingzhou army clears out dissidents, the entire Luoyang becomes Dong Zhuo’s words, this guy will be even more crazy.

“By the way, what about Yuan Shao, Yuan Shu, and Cao Cao and the others?”

Lu Qing asked curiously.

Guo Jia thought for a moment and continued.

“When Dong Zhuo entered Beijing, Yuan Shao and the others fled, but Cao Cao was still in Luoyang.”

“By the way, Liu Bei, who you are quite concerned about, also fled Luoyang, because he was the general who guarded Duan Jue and the little emperor Liu Wei at that time.”

Listening to Guo Jia’s words, Lu Qing was stunned at the moment.

This Liu Bei can! At that time, he could actually find an opportunity to rise!

If he really let him take Liu Wei away at that time, then no matter where he went, with the soldiers and horses in his hand and the emperor, he could become a prince in minutes, and he might not even be able to be Cao Cao.

It’s just a pity that this guy was still a little less lucky, and when he met Dong Zhuo’s Qingzhou Iron Horse, not only were all his soldiers and horses beheaded, but even he also opened the road to escape.

However, Lu Qing will not underestimate Liu Bei, after all, this guy has the ability, if he is really given a chance, he can take off directly and groan, Lu Qing said to Guo Jia.

“Don’t care about the Central Plains for the time being, no matter how the situation changes outside, first take care of our four northern states.”

“But it doesn’t take long to wait, it is estimated that the world will be in chaos, and the war will begin.”

Listening to Lu Qing’s words, Guo Jia nodded.

Dong Zhuo is a tiger and wolf, and he will inevitably make trouble for the people, and then there will really be a war in the world… After Guo Jia retreated, Lu Qing looked in the direction of Luoyang City with excitement in his eyes.

“The opening of the Three Kingdoms is finally coming!”

In the following days, Lu Qing’s northern part was not disturbed by the disturbances of the Central Plains, and various technologies obtained from modern times, as well as some resources, were constantly invested in the land of the four states.

At the same time, Lu Qing also kept sending the resources of this era to the modern era, and exchanged a huge amount of money in the modern era. The second-tier trafficker made a lot of money for Lu Qing, and of course, it also brought earth-shaking changes to the four northern states.

The first is the roads of the four northern states, all of which have been replaced with cement roads, and the carriages of this era do not even feel rushing when running on them.

Build roads before getting rich, this sentence is indeed true.

With the completion of cement roads in the major counties of Youbei, whether it is the transportation of materials or anything else, it is ten times faster, you must know that many times before, merchants had to walk over the mountains, which took unimaginable time.

But now in the north, except for the time to rest, the merchants’ convoys can move forward non-stop. The speed has increased tenfold, naturally reducing a lot of labor costs, transportation costs and so on.

The economy that led to the north has turned over I don’t know how much.

The second is that Lu Qing canceled all kinds of complicated taxes, especially the key one, Lu Qing canceled the land tax for the people. This is the first time in the world, only Lu Qing dares to do it, because he has modern support, and it is too simple to develop the economy in ancient times.

Naturally, he couldn’t look at the little grain and grass of the people, although it was still the era of agriculture, but Lu Qing still abolished the land tax. Instead, a commercial tax was added, and as long as it was any transaction, the Youbei Royal Mansion would increase the commercial tax by ten percent.

This is actually not much, after all, there are too many good things in the north, and you can make a fortune by pulling it back to the Central Plains to sell it casually. Therefore, the commercial tax was only implemented for a few months, and the tax money obtained exceeded the level of the previous collection of land tax for a few years. Cai Yong and Xia Zhicai and others can be regarded as really served, it turns out that commercial taxes are the big head, and the people’s money is really nothing.

Because of this action, Lu Qing’s prestige rolled several times again, and the people could be described as grateful to Dade. After all, in the future, they will not have to pay taxes, keep all the grain, and they can also take it to the grain store to sell it for money.

The merchants who collected commercial taxes were also grateful to Lu Qing, the specific reason was that although Youbei collected commercial taxes, it would give a lot of merchants to take care of.

For example, land grants, or technical support, or investment loans, and so on.

Lu Qing was well aware of the horror of loans, so he made the Youbei Money Village and could only operate it by the imperial court. Save money for the people, and at the same time lend money, etc.

Because of Lu Qing’s prestige, this matter was easily done, and the people believed in Lu Qing, the ghost king, so they were willing to put the money that they had no place to hide in their homes in the Youbei Money Village.

All in all, under Lu Qing’s guidance, Youbei can be described as changing every day.

Even Mi Zhu, who is a Shangshu of Hube, has lamented more than once that the wealth of the four northern states is comparable to three big men! After having money, of course, it is a strong soldier.

The total army of Youbei is 500,000! Among them, 300,000 iron horses and 200,000 pawns.

The 15,200,000 pawns are generally used to garrison major cities and belong to garrisons.

And if there are 300,000 iron horses, 100,000 are stationed in Yunzhou, after all, it belongs to the grassland, and the north not only has the remnants of the four parts of the grassland, but even the threat of other countries.

Therefore, what can be used in the north is still 200,000 northern iron rides.

However, unlike at the beginning, today’s Youbei Iron Horse has also been established for several years, and its rich experience in the southern conquest and northern war can be called the elite of a hundred battles.

Compared with when he first fought with the four parts of the grassland, he was a little stronger, so even if he was a 200,000 Youbei Iron Horse, Lu Qing had the confidence to sweep the world.

Of course, it is limited to sweeping the world, and control is still not enough.

However, the population of Youbei is not enough, and an army of 500,000 is the limit in Lu Qing’s heart, if it is more, it will cause some people to break their families and die, after all, war will kill people.

No matter how many recruits there are, it will be those only children and so on.

Therefore, if Lu Qing wanted to recruit more troops, he would only have to wait until the Central Plains was in chaos and countless disaster victims flowed into Youzhou. One day, when Lu Qing has a million soldiers, then the world should also change.

On this day, Lu Qing was accompanying Sable Cicada and Cai Yan in the palace, and they had not yet held a wedding.

Because the idea in Lu Qing’s heart was to wait until he ascended to the position of the Ninth Fifth Lord one day and then go to hold a grand wedding.

“King Qiyu, Lord Shoufu, and the Minister of Military Aircraft are all waiting outside.”

Listening to the maid’s words, Lu Qing nodded, and then nodded to the mink cicada and Cai Yan, and then strode away. He knew that the chaos in the Central Plains had begun, and he was bound to mix and blend in the north.

As soon as he entered the hall, Guo Jia couldn’t wait to say.

“Qiyu Wang Ye, Cao Cao and Cao Mengde issued an edict, calling on people with lofty ideals in the world to send troops to fight Dong Zhuo and support the Han Dynasty.”

Listening to Guo Jia’s words, Lu Qing’s eyes flashed, did he finally start?.
