This person is none other than Da Situ, who is the current great man, that is, Wang Yun, the prime minister who is equivalent to "the head of a hundred officials".

If you really want to talk about it, when Zhang Rang was married to his adopted son Zhang Yan and Zhang Luo, he had considered Wang Yun's granddaughter, and the two families almost became in-laws.And Wang Yun is a veteran of the Han Dynasty, so facing the other party who suddenly interrupted at this moment, neither Zhang Rang nor Lu Zhi showed any displeasure. Instead, they were thinking carefully about what the other party just said.

After smiling kindly at Wang Yun, Zhang Rang exchanged glances with Lu Zhi, and at the same time, he had made up his mind.

……

"Wang Situ, Lu Shangshu, our family is just a disabled person, and we don't practice martial arts since childhood like Jian Shuo... If it comes to leading troops and commanding, it is really too difficult for me, so I won't mess with it." This kind of thing."

"How about...I think it's better for Lu Shangshu to come forward and help us integrate the forbidden army, how about a surprise attack?"

Taking the lead in throwing an olive branch at Lu Zhi, Zhang Rang felt a little complicated at this moment.

Although the enemy of an enemy is a friend...but he and Lu Zhi have been pinching each other for a long time.

Before, the two were still pulling each other's hind legs and stumbling blocks, but after a few years, the two actually started to recommend each other, and they began to give in to each other... This really made Zhang Rang feel a little bit.

……

"Hehe, then Lu would be more respectful than obedient."

"When I was General Zhonglang, I also had some connections in the army."

"I've heard for a long time that the Xiyuan Forbidden Army under Captain Jian Shuo is split and reorganized from the Sanhe Fifth School to reorganize the Xiyuan Eighth School. I think I still have some acquaintances in this army, so I should be able to talk .”

"It's just that I'm near Luoyang, but I, Lu Zhi, am an outsider, so I have nothing to do with it."

"I ordered the blockade of Luoyang Eight Gates, and I hope Zhang Changshi will use some contacts to arrange this matter."

"Otherwise, if I'm alone, I'm afraid I'll be a little helpless in the face of He Jin."

……

I don't know if Lu Zhi is reciprocating, or if he really thought of something.In short, after Zhang Rang gave him a hand, Lu Zhi quickly entered the state.

I saw that he smiled at first, and then entrusted Zhang Rang with another task of encircling and suppressing He Jin, blocking all traffic arteries around Luoyang.

……

"Well, if this is what Lu Shangshu needs, then our family will do our best to help."

Respectfully bowing to Lu Zhi, Zhang Rang nodded, and then focused on the next plan.

……

In this way, everything in the palace is proceeding in an orderly manner.

Lu Zhi had already got up and went to the West Garden, ready to lead the forbidden army who were currently leaderless, and give He Jin a big blow.

And Zhang Rang is not idle at the moment. Through the family power of the ten permanent servants and the distribution of some tentacles, Zhang Rang quickly ordered that all people except those who have special hand orders will be sent to the rest of the world in the next period of time. Wait, even the relatives of the emperor are not allowed to take half a step outside Luoyang.

……

It can be said that after such preparations, Zhang Rang is already in a state where everything is ready and he only owes the east wind.

Just waiting for Lu Zhi to withdraw his hand, he can overthrow He Jin completely, and then according to Liu Hong's arrangement, pave the way for his two little princes.

As for the rest... Who knows, Zhang Rang himself is not too clear.

……

Soon, a messenger ran back sweating profusely against the scorching sun in the afternoon.

But what came out of his mouth was not good news.

……

"No... not good!"

"Zhang Changshi, our spies outside the palace have just received news that He Jin did not return to his headquarters, the General's Mansion, but went straight to his military camp outside Luoyang City as soon as he left the palace gate. Now he has successfully joined forces with Wu Kuang, the general in his Sijun!"

Not long after, several news came from various gates of the Luoyang Imperial Palace.

And the contents of these news are nothing more than He Jin's movements and the transfer of his army.

Slightly squinting his eyes, Zhang Rang's fingers twitched gently on his chin, his gaze seemed to penetrate the space and directly reach He Jin's side.

Among the many messages, one about He Jin's private soldiers has quickly attracted Zhang Rang's attention.

……

"Zhang Changshi, just now our spies discovered that He Jin dispatched a small part of his private soldiers, and they have entered Luoyang City!"

"Those soldiers in the army have been mixed with the slaves in his mansion, and now they have completely surrounded the palace!"

"We have also received news that He Jin is spreading rumors in Luoyang City, saying that there are big treacherous ministers and ministers in the palace, and they have killed the current emperor. He will lead the army into the palace in a few days. , Yasukuni disaster!"

"Zhang Changshi, look... look..."

……

Facing the flustered voice of the little eunuch delivering the letter, Zhang Rang sat there without saying a word, thinking for a moment, and then sighed deeply.

……

"Everyone..."

"For the sake of your personal safety, you may not be able to leave this palace gate tonight."

"He Jin has lined up heavy troops to block the exits of the imperial city. If you go out at this time, you may be attacked by the other party. Once something happens to you, it will be a big deal for your family and the big man. It's a very serious loss."

"Fortunately, this Luoyang Nangong has always been the office of the former emperor, and there are no female relatives..."

"Today, I will wrong you and stay overnight in the Nangong Jiade Hall."

……

In front of the somewhat uproarious performance of the crowd, Zhang Rang's calmness at this time is simply scary.

Chapter 67 Morning in Luoyang

In the wordless silence of both sides, the first night after Liu Hong's death passed like this.

When the sky in the distance brightened slightly, not only Zhang Rang who was in the center of the storm, but even the courtiers who were blocked by He Jin in the palace all had a pair of panda eyes, obviously not sleeping. good.

Last night, almost everyone felt a little uneasy in their hearts:

That is, will He Jin really attack the palace?

When will He Jin attack the palace?

If He Jin's army really invaded, what should his group of people do?

Even these courtiers who still have a little way out are exhausted to such a state now, the pressure on Zhang Rang who has hardly slept all night is obviously conceivable.

In yesterday's situation, Zhang Rang did not have actual military power in his hands, and because it would take a certain amount of time for Lu Zhi to accept the remnants of the West Garden, this made last night the most dangerous night for Zhang Rang and others. .

If He Jin really risked the dissatisfaction of the world to storm the palace, Zhang Rang would hardly have anything to confront He Jin except for some dead men in his own hands.

But fortunately, it seems that He Jin's courage is not enough to support him to make such a decision. After one night, Zhang Rang's situation is much better than before.

As long as Lu Zhi gathers the forbidden army again today, He Jin will have to weigh it carefully if he wants to take action against them.

In this era, the gold content of the imperial guards cannot be compared with that of a private army of a general's mansion.

……

"Huh, well, it seems that the most dangerous time has passed. You don't have to worry too much, we have so many courtiers gathered here, even the thief He Jin doesn't have the guts to do it."

"It's just that I'm afraid that you will have to work hard for a while recently. For the sake of everyone's safety, it is best for everyone not to leave the palace before He Jin's servant."

Gently pinching the bridge of his nose, Zhang Rang comforted everyone in the hall, and said a little tiredly.

"After all, He Jin definitely doesn't have the guts to lead an army into the palace, but if you leave the palace, then in order to seal our tongues, will He Jin do something out of the ordinary? It's not easy to say."

……

Strictly speaking, Zhang Rang's words could not help but appease the emotions of everyone present, and at the same time vaguely assigned them to his side of the front.

For example, He Jin's "silence" that he just mentioned, although it is a kind of exhortation, but from a certain point of view, it is no different from a threat.

For such a situation, there are few people who have jumped out to express objections.

After all, those who can appear here are the pillars of the country of the big man. No matter what their position is, at least they can pass the test in terms of ability. Naturally, there will be no such idiots who say "I don't believe it, I'm going to try it."

Even if they knew that the original intention of Zhang Rang's words was to not let them leave the palace, so what?For those who were involved in the struggle between the two, and "coincidentally" heard some news that they shouldn't have heard, there was nothing wrong with either joining He Jin's camp or Zhang Rang's camp. a choice.

If Zhang Rang is added, at least after He Jin is arrested and the new emperor ascends the throne, they can use this incident to put a layer of "Han loyal minister" on themselves.

And if you join He Jin... not only will you not get any benefits after winning, but if He Jin fails, everyone present will probably be liquidated by Zhang Rang and the little emperor one by one.

They are not stupid, this account can be understood by individuals.

……

"Hehe, Zhang Changshi, you can just arrange your affairs today, on our side...you don't have to worry too much."

"Everyone is not a fool, so naturally they won't make trouble for you at this juncture."

"Today... no, we will be waiting in this Guardian Hall for the most recent time. If you need any help, you can also tell us."

"Although most of you here are old-fashioned, but for the future of the big man, it is still worthwhile to make some sacrifices."

……

Slowly responding to Zhang Rang, when Lu Zhi and other fighters were away, Wang Yun, the highly respected Situ, had obviously become the leader among the crowd.

Now he took the initiative to express his position to Zhang Rang. To a certain extent, it can also be said that this is the thinking of most of the courtiers in the Han Dynasty present.

Seeing this, Zhang Rang nodded in relief.

"Heh...it seems that you are quite acquainted."

With a silent mutter in his heart, Zhang Rang stood up, called a few young eunuchs who were waiting at the side, and began to arrange today's affairs.

……

"Pass my order down. From now on, all passersby around Luoyang will strictly check the pedestrians who come and go. If anyone related to He Jin is found, they will be arrested immediately!"

"...Also, continue to monitor He Jin's movements. Once the other party makes a move, no matter who he met or what he did, he must inform me as soon as possible!"

First, after instructing He Jin on matters related to him, Zhang Rang subconsciously glanced at the direction outside the palace, then turned to the little eunuch and continued:

"By the way, if I remember correctly, Lu Shangshu went to the West Garden yesterday afternoon before it got dark. Why is there no news yet?"

"The West Garden is connected to the Luoyang Imperial Palace internally. You can reach the depths of the barracks through the internal passage without leaving the palace. Send some people over to have a look and urge that fellow Lu Zhi."
