The Most Powerful Man in the World

The sound was transmitted to Jian Shuo, and Chu Yi looked at Jian Shuo with a solemn expression.

Hearing this, Jian Shuo said with a smile on his face: "It would be great if you can think so. You and I have similar temperaments. If you don't help you, who else can you help?"

From Jian Shuo's reaction alone, Chu Yi could judge that Jian Shuo's relationship with him should be very good, which made Chu Yi secretly sigh that the altar of luck finally did not pit him, at least his start was okay.

A terrifying power rushed towards his face, and Chu Yi immediately came back to his senses. In front of him, a splendid palace filled with endless brilliance and power appeared in sight. It was where the Eastern Han Dynasty held the court meeting.

At this moment, surrounded by Zhang Rang, Zhao Zhong and others, a team of Yulin guards behind him were wearing armor and holding a new look. Liu Hong walked slowly into the palace.

In the palace, there are important officials of civil and military on both sides. Seeing Liu Hong and his party enter the palace, all the civil and military people are watching Liu Hong and his party.

After Liu Hong stepped onto the throne and took his seat, all the civil and military people bowed down to Liu Hong.

Except for Zhang Rang and Zhao Zhong who accompanied Liu Hong, Chu Yi and the others settled in the side hall and did not enter the court hall.

In the side hall, Chu Yi looked at the team of well-armored Yulin guards at the entrance of the side hall with interest. The name of Yulin guard was very loud in the Han Dynasty.

Although it is said that the name of Yulin Guard is not comparable to the past, after all, these guards guard the palace in the palace all the year round, which is different from the elite soldiers who fight all the year round in the battlefield, but these Yu Lin guards are also carefully selected. Anyway, this appearance and cultivation base cannot be bad.

Under Chu Yi's observation, it was obvious that the guards of the Suwei Palace were not bad. At a glance, they all had at least the cultivation of a great master or even a supreme master.

If such a cultivation base is placed in some small worlds, I am afraid that they are the top powerhouses of a country, but in this world, they are at most elite-level soldiers.

From a glimpse, you can see the whole leopard. Just some soldiers have such a cultivation base, so it is conceivable how powerful the fierce generals who are known as the enemy of ten thousand people in this side of the world will be.

Of course, what makes Chu Yi full of expectations the most is that even Zhang Rang, Zhao Zhong, Jian Shuo, and other Huangmen have extremely powerful breaths, so it is certain that this world is definitely a big world with explosive force. I don't know what realm is the peak of martial power in this world, is it the realm of the king or a realm stronger than the realm of the king?

When Chu Yi was in a trance here, in the hall next door, as an emperor, no matter how stupid he was, it was impossible for no one to figure out his thoughts. Liu Hong intended to set up the Eighth School of the West Garden, Zhang Rang, Zhao Zhong, etc. People naturally arranged for officials to create momentum in the courtroom early.

Sangong, Jiuqing, and a group of civil and military officials actually saw clearly the thoughts of the emperor. Everyone saw that several officials who obviously belonged to the eunuch’s party jumped out and asked the emperor to set up the eight schools in Xiyuan. One person looked over.

He saw a burly and rounded man in Chinese clothes standing there, it was He Jin, the once-powerful general.

Liu Hong's establishment of the eight schools in the West Garden made it clear that he wanted to check and balance the general He Jin. For Sangong Jiuqing, they would naturally not jump out at this time to talk about He Jin. The emperor was fighting with his relatives, and they were naturally happy to watch the play.

Of course, if He Jin could go from a butcher to today, it is natural that they, these aristocratic families, are behind the push, so it is impossible for these people to ignore it completely.

At this moment, Liu Hong looked at He Jin and said, "General, I want to set up the Eighth School of the West Garden. Do you have any comments?"

He Jin was named by Liu Hong, and he immediately stood up and bowed to Liu Hong: "Go back to Your Majesty, I have no objection!"

In Liu Hong's opinion, He Jin should be against it. Even if he didn't say it himself, he would definitely order officials from one party to stand up against it.

As a result, He Jin actually expressed his support for the establishment of the Eighth West Park School in front of hundreds of officials, which made Liu Hong a little confused.

But at this moment, He Jin looked up at Liu Hong and said, "The establishment of the Eight Schools in the West Garden will inevitably require the selection of elite generals and schools to preside over the military affairs of the Eight Schools. I wonder if Your Majesty has candidates for the Eight Schools?"

If just now, Liu Hong still didn't understand why He Jin suddenly agreed to set up the Eighth School of West Garden, then if he didn't understand at this moment, then he wouldn't have been able to sit on the throne for so many years.

Obviously, He Jin knew that he couldn't stop him from setting up the Eighth School of the West Garden, and as a result, he made his decision to Shamian, the general of the Eighth School of the West Garden.

If the generals of the Eighth School of the West Garden explain the people of He Jin's family, then the Eighth School of the West Garden will not only not be a force to check and balance He Jin, but it is very likely that it will become a help to He Jin.

As his mind turned, Liu Hong smiled slightly and said, "Jianshuo of Huangmen is quite armed. I would like him to be the captain of the army and lead the Eighth School of the West Garden for me."

While speaking, Liu Hong nodded towards Zhang Rang, and Zhang Rang, who was standing beside him, said sharply, "Jianshuo of Huangmen entered the hall to see you!"

In the side hall, Jian Shuo, who received the communication, stood up, nodded slightly towards Chu Yi and smiled, "Just wait for my good news."

Jian Shuo strode into the hall, bowed to Liu Hong and said, "Jian Shuo pays homage to Your Majesty."

Liu Hong stretched out his hand and said: "No ceremony and level."

After speaking, Liu Hong looked at Jian Shuo and said, "Jian Shuo, I want to appoint you as the captain of the eighth school in the West Garden, and take charge of the Eighth School of the West Garden for me, do you have confidence?"

With a thud, Jian Shuo fell to the ground and respectfully said, "Jian Shuo has given the order to thank you, and I will definitely live up to your majesty."

Although it was negotiated in advance, Liu Hong was secretly relieved that Jian Shuo's position could be fixed at this time. After all, he was also worried that He Jin and others would obstruct this matter.

Now it seems that He Jin and others obviously did not make him too embarrassed for the emperor.

Just when Liu Hong breathed a sigh of relief, he saw General He Jin step forward and say, "Your Majesty, since the Colonel of the Eighth Colonel West Park has appointed Jian Huangmen, then the minister will also recommend some good talents to Your Majesty."

Chapter nine hundred and ninety-ninth, Chu Yi is not talented!

Liu Hong immediately raised his brows and looked at He Jin when he heard the words, while He Jin looked at Liu Hong with a firm look in his eyes.

Taking a deep breath, Liu Hong naturally understood in his heart that it was obviously impossible for the Eighth School of the West Park to arrange every captain. No matter He Jin or the civil and military affairs of the Manchu Dynasty, it was impossible to sit idly by.

Precisely because of his mental preparation, after he appointed Jian Shuo to be the captain of the army and take charge of the eight schools in the West Garden, Liu Hong naturally would not go to He Jin at this time to be angry.

Nodding slightly, Liu Hong said to He Jin, "I don't know who the general recommends?"

He Jin has a big shoulders and a round waist. He doesn't look like a noble person at all, so it's no wonder that he is called He Butcher behind his back.

However, He Jin relied on his sister, who was an empress, to climb to the high position of the high-ranking general, and became a famous relative of Emperor Ling.

He Jin opened his mouth and said, "This minister recommends Bao Hong, Chunyu Qiong, Zhao Rong, and Xia Mu as the school."

He Jin didn't seem to expect that He Jin would occupy half of the West Park No. [-] school as soon as he opened his mouth, which made Liu Hong, who was in a good mood, suddenly feel depressed.

As the object of Liu Hong's reliance, Zhang Rang, who was standing at the side at the moment, said with a yin and yin smile: "Your Majesty, since the general recommends a virtuous talent to your majesty, then the old slave also recommends a good talent for your majesty."

Seeing Zhang Rang speak, Liu Hong nodded and said, "Oh, who do the Qing family recommend?"

Zhang Rang slowly opened his mouth and said, "Qiao County Cao Cao is after the famous Prime Minister Cao Can.

Cao Cao may be from a famous family, but his father Cao Song is the adopted son of the eunuch Cao Teng, so Cao Cao, who was born in a famous family, is regarded by many as the eunuch empress.

At this moment, Zhang Ran can recommend Cao Cao to serve as one of the eight schools in the West Garden. Obviously, the eunuch group with Zhang Rang and Zhao Zhong as the core is a kind of draw and support for Cao Cao. Who makes Cao Cao have the important relationship of Cao Teng? Woolen cloth.

Upon hearing this, Liu Hong said that he didn't have much impression of Cao Cao, but since the other party was able to ask Zhang Rang to recommend him, and he had the important relationship with Cao Teng, Liu Hong didn't hesitate and nodded, "In that case, Then I will make him a Colonel of the Chinese Army."

Zhang Rang stepped back, and a figure came out from among the courtiers. It was a famous family, known as his disciples and old officials all over the world, and a contemporary representative of the Yuan family, known as the fourth and third princes, Taifu Yuan Huai.

I saw Yuan Huai's face was serious, and he respectfully bowed to Liu Hong and said, "My minister Yuan Huai would like to recommend a good person to His Majesty!"

Although he said that Yuan Huai is not very cold, Liu Hong also knows how big the influence of the Yuan family is. Seeing Yuan Huai speak, Liu Hong kept a bit of a smile on his face and said, "Oh, I don't know who Taifu is going to recommend?"

Yuan Huai stroked his beard and said with a smile, "As the saying goes, one should never avoid relatives. This minister has a nephew named Yuan Shao, who is known for his talents and learning.

Originally, according to Yuan Huai's idea, the establishment of the eight schools in the West Garden would definitely be an extremely important military force in the capital in the future, so their Yuan family would naturally want to intervene, and the Yuan family's generation was naturally able to take advantage of Yuan Shao, Yuan Shu and the two.

But compared to his reputation, Yuan Shao was naturally the most suitable. He originally planned to recommend Yuan Shao as the captain of the army, but he didn't expect Zhang Rang to recommend Cao Cao first, and he was appointed as the captain of the army by the emperor, so Yuan Huai had no choice but to retreat. Second, first occupy the next military academy lieutenant.

Yuan Huai represented the Yuan family of the fourth and third princes, and even above the court, a considerable number of officials were headed by the Yuan clan of Runan, so Liu Hong could only accept Yuan Huai's opinion.

Seeing that under the pressure of He Jin, Yuan Huai and other important officials in the court, Liu Hong could only give up one by one, and Jian Shuo, who had just received the emperor's edict, said to Liu Hong: "Your Majesty, since the Great General , The masters are all dedicated to the master, so Jian Shuo does not want to be left behind, and is willing to recommend a sage to your majesty."

Liu Hong was overjoyed when he heard the words. He knew very well that the candidates recommended by Yuan Huai or He Jin would be mixed with sand for the Eighth School of the West Garden. He established the Eighth School of the West Garden obviously to check and balance the general He Jin, if there are not enough cronies to intervene in it, wouldn't the Eighth School of the West Garden become a decoration?

The eight schools in the West Garden, with eight captains, were sealed out in the blink of an eye, leaving only one position left. As a result, among these captains, except for Jian Shuo, he was not able to be placed in. one person.

Now that Jian Shuo opened his mouth, needless to say, this should be someone who can be trusted by him, otherwise, Jian Shuo would definitely not recommend it to him.

Seeing Jian Shuo speak, some officials in the courtroom could not help frowning. You must know that during this period, eunuchs had exclusive power, and the relationship between the eunuch group headed by Zhang Rang and Zhao Zhong and the important officials in the court was quite poor. .

It would be fine if other people recommended it. Needless to say, the candidate recommended by Jian Shuo must be a member of the eunuch group. It was difficult for General He Jin and Tai Fu Yuan Huai to force the Emperor to agree to give up a few places. Now Jian Shuo said, It's obviously going for the last spot.

If this fell into the hands of the eunuchs, wouldn't it seem that these civil and military officials were too incompetent.

It's a pity that before they could react, Liu Hong immediately opened his mouth and said, "Aiqing, come quickly."

Jian Shuo respectfully said, "Go back to Your Majesty, and this minister recommends Huangmen Chu Yi."

"Huangmen Chuyi, Huangmen Chuyi..."

Obviously, Liu Hong has an impression of Chu Yi. Although he is regarded as his assistants as much as Zhang Rang and Zhao Zhong, Chu Yi is also one of the Huangmen he is close to.

"allow!"

Liu Hong, who saw the expressions of the civil and military people below, had almost no hesitation in his eyes, even if he agreed, because Liu Hong knew very well that if he hesitated at all, then if he wanted to appoint his own people, it would not be that easy. .

"His Majesty……"

An official just opened his mouth, but Liu Hong gave permission to Jian Shuo, which blocked all the persuasive words of civil and military officials.

Although they can still object, the emperor has already agreed to Yuan Huai and the general He Jin's request, and he has taken up a full five people at once, which is more than half of the eight captains. If Cao Cao is eliminated, Jian Shuo was the only one who really obeyed the Son of Heaven.

After thinking about this, the group of civil and military officials did not intend to stimulate Liu Hong, which made Jian Shuo's recommendation pass.

"Retreat!"

Liu Hong left with full of grievances, and the candidates for the Eighth School of the West Garden were officially decided.

Chu Yi only knew about the establishment of the eight schools in the West Garden, among them Cao Cao and Yuan Shao were one of the captains, but he never thought that if Jian Shuo hadn't responded quickly enough, he might not have been able to win one of the schools. so easy.

Don't look at the eight commanders of the West Garden, each of them has a strong background, Cao Cao has the legacy of Cao Teng and Cao Song, Yuan Shao is backed by Runan Yuan, as for Chunyu Qiong and Bao Hong, Behind him is the support of the general He Jin, and he is just one of the many yellow clans in the palace. If it weren't for the eunuch group and Liu Hong's reliance on the eunuch group, he would like to be with so many people with great backgrounds. One can imagine the difficulty of competing for the post of Colonel.

In a palace, Jian Shuo looked at Chu Yi with a happy face and said with a smile: "Your Majesty's will has been made. Since then, you will be the commander of the eight schools in the West Garden, commanding the troops and horses of the first school!"

Chu Yi bowed his hands to Jian Shuo and said, "Thank you, Lord Hou for your love!"

The ten permanent servants were deeply favored by the emperor, and most of them were conferred the position of marquis by the emperor. It can be said that both power and momentum have reached the peak.

In the Eastern Han Dynasty, represented by the ten permanent servants, it can be said that it was the peak of the eunuch group. After the ten permanent servants, the eunuch group wanted to take control of the military power again, and the power to dominate the world was the end of the Tang Dynasty after hundreds of years.

Patting Chu Yi's shoulder, Jian Shuo said with a smile, "Since Your Majesty appointed you as Colonel Dian, then you will be in His Majesty's sight from now on. "

With the imperial decree, the establishment of the Eight West Garden Schools became widely known, and being the captain of the Eight West Garden Eight Schools naturally became the focus of attention.

After all, everyone knows that the Eighth School of the West Garden, as the army specially set up by the emperor, will inevitably have an extremely important position and influence in the capital in the future.

It should be noted that there are only five battalions of the Northern Army in Beijing. After the Yellow Turban Rebellion, the number of the five battalions of the Northern Army has expanded. However, after the Golden Rebellion has been quelled, the number of the five battalions of the Northern Army will naturally be reduced again, even if the number is increased compared to the past. It was twice as much, but the entire five battalions of the Northern Army added up to only about [-] people.

Now that the eight schools in the West Garden are established, if one school counts [-] people, this is nearly [-] people, which can be said to be twice the number of the Fifth Battalion of the Northern Army.

With such a group of people appearing in the capital, it can already be regarded as a decisive military force. Who can underestimate the new West Park Eight Schools?

The Eighth School of Xiyuan is called the Xiyuan Army in the community, just as the Fifth Battalion of the North Army is called the Fifth Battalion Army or the North Army. .

It's just that everything in the Eighth School of the West Park is in vain. Except for the hundreds of troops temporarily dispatched from the Fifth Battalion of the Northern Army, the Eighth School of the West Park, which has nearly [-] people on its books, doesn't even have a man or a horse. .

In a handsome tent, Jian Shuo in military uniform is sitting on the commanding position in the middle of the tent. If you don't know the details of Jian Shuo's inner servant, just look at Jian Shuo's sturdy figure, I am afraid that few people dare to believe this. Turned out to be an eunuch.

Chu Yi sat there with a calm expression, as if he was not disturbed by anyone, but Chu Yi was quietly looking at the few people present.

Sturdy and obviously low in height, with a reddish and black complexion, it goes without saying that he is the famous Cao Cao, Cao Mengde.

As for saying that he was sitting with Cao Cao in a low voice, his demeanor was not uncommon, and he was of a well-known style, not to mention Yuan Shao Yuan Benchu, who came from a famous family and was famous all over the world.

The rest, such as Bao Hong, Chunyu Qiong, etc., are also all good-looking, and they are not ordinary people at first glance.

Of course, among these people, Bao Hong, Chunyu Qiong, and Xia Mou cannot be compared with the countless generals who have been emerging like stars and rain in the following decades, but at the moment, they can definitely be called A momentary hero, otherwise, it would not have been possible for him to ascend to such a high position.

At this time, the Yuwei of the Eastern Han Dynasty still existed, especially after the Yellow Turban Rebellion was put out. Although it was said that the hidden danger of the collapse of the dynasty was buried, but as the so-called fire cooking oil, the last afterglow of the Han Dynasty was also in the past few years.

Where there are people, there will be fights. When people live in tents, they will naturally be close and distant. Cao Cao is obviously close to Yuan Shao, but he maintains a certain distance from Bao Hong, Chunyu Qiong, and Xia Mu.
