When Emperor Liu Hong of the Han Dynasty heard that the rebels had been repulsed, he couldn't help but feel very happy.
"Shi Gaixun, the governor of Hanyang County, led reinforcements to the foot of Ji County and scolded Bian Yun and Han Yue. The two men realized their consciences and therefore withdrew their troops."
He Jin reported back.
"This is the first time I heard that thieves will still have their conscience to find out. How can you have a conscience since you have become thieves? I am afraid that the thieves are afraid of the might of our Han army, so they retreated. Could it be that the general hopes that Han Yue and others will abandon the secret and join the light?"
Zhao Zhongyin said sympathetically.
He Jin's face immediately turned red when he heard this, and he cursed these eggless people in his heart. I have never provoked you, so what are you doing to provoke me for no reason?
"I heard that the general knows Han Yue?"
When He Jin heard this, he was frightened out of his wits and hurriedly knelt down, "I dare not deceive your majesty. This Han Yue has always had a good reputation. I heard that he once carried the coffin of the late Jincheng prefect Yin Hua back to his hometown, and I respect his character. So I took advantage of him."
I met him when I came to Luoyang."
"Just met once?" Liu Hong asked again.
He Jin was sweating coldly, sweating profusely, "I just chatted a few words about Liangzhou customs with this person, and nothing else."
"That's not right, Mr. He, I heard people say it's more than just talking about Liangzhou customs."
Zhao Zhong lost no time in adding another sentence.
"He did say that he wanted to kill the eunuchs, but he didn't listen. He was dedicated to being loyal to the emperor, so how could he listen to these slanderous words."
He Jin glanced at Zhao Zhong and reported to Liu Hong. Without airtight walls, the ears of these eggless eunuchs are too long.
"Then you let him go?" Zhao Zhong chased after him.
"Okay, the general doesn't know that this person will rebel in the future, so the matter ends here."
Emperor Liu Hong did not want to force He Jin too hard, "However, I heard that after the general took office, he recruited many literati and celebrities. It is inevitable that there will be a mixture of good and bad, and the strategies and ideas provided will inevitably be biased.
, General, you have to think carefully."
He Jin felt as if he had been pardoned by the previous words, and was secretly frightened by the following words. Since he became the general, he recruited many scholars, some of whom were people who had been implicated in the ban of the party in the past. It seems that the emperor and the
These eunuchs are taking this opportunity to beat themselves up. It seems that they will have to be careful in their words and deeds in the future.
"Well, after wasting so much time on these trivial matters, do you have any good ideas to defeat the thieves?" Liu Hong asked again.
"I believe that the post of the Colonel Protecting the Qiang cannot be left vacant. I would like to recommend Xia Yu, the former Colonel Protecting the Wuhuan, to take up this position. This person has participated in quelling the Qiang rebellion many times before, so he is qualified for this position." Fu Wei said.
"This Xia Yu went on an expedition to Xianbei seven years ago and humiliated the country. Your Majesty mercifully prohibited him from spending money to redeem his life. How can he use it again!" Zhang Rang stopped him.
"Then do you have a suitable candidate?!" Fu Wei said tit for tat.
At this time, the position of Colonel Protecting Qiang was a very dangerous one, so Zhang Rang naturally did not dare to recommend his close associates to take the position, and was speechless for a moment.
Zhao Zhong pulled Zhang Rang behind him and said, "Look at the face of the deceased prince, don't argue with him."
This prince was the previous official Wang Fu. At that time, Wang Fu and the eunuch Cao Jie were as powerful as Zhang Rang and Zhao Zhong are now, and they were extremely favored. Wang Fu once incited Han Emperor Liu Hong and recommended Xia Yu and others to attack
Xianbei eventually lost his troops and generals, and the court's face was greatly damaged.
Zhang Rang was also afraid that this would remind Liu Hong of the incident, so he stopped arguing.
"I also recommend someone who is similar to Xia Yu. We have put down several Qiang rebellions together in the past." Yuan Wei came out of the class and said.
"Who is he?" Liu Hong asked.
"This man is Dong Zhuo. Although Dong Zhuo did not perform well in the process of conquering the Yellow Turban bandits in Jizhou, he is indeed capable of dealing with the Hu people. In the past, he followed Zhang Huan, the general who protected the Huns, and repeatedly wiped out the Xiqiang rebels, and his military exploits were great. So.
I recommend this person to lead the army and destroy the thieves."
Yuan Wei vowed to be Dong Zhuo's guarantee.
Dong Zhuo had been conquered by Yuan Kui before, so he naturally regarded himself as Yuan Kui's disciple. Since he was released from prison, he had been a guest in Yuan Kui's house. Taking this opportunity, Yuan Kui gave him a chance to come back.
Ma Rixi, the admonishing doctor, also stood up and said: "I heard that Dong Zhuo has a high prestige among the Qiang people and has many contacts with local tycoons. If this person takes action, he will definitely win. However, the imperial court's heavy troops are deployed in various states to quell the chaos. For a while,
I'm afraid we won't be able to mobilize so many manpower. For now, we have to rely more on the local people in Liangzhou for counterinsurgency."
Liu Hong felt a little sleepy, so he wanted to end the court meeting quickly, "Everyone is ready. With such a big mess, Zuo Chang, the governor of Liangzhou, can no longer be used. Who has a good candidate?"
Now all the ministers were silent, and a governor was appointed elsewhere. You recommended disciples, and I recommended old officials, and the fight was fierce. But there was a war in Liangzhou, and it was no longer a fat official. Not only was it not a fat official, but it was also
A high position. Even if he doesn't get beheaded by the rebels, even if he loses the battle, he still has to take the blame.
Seeing that all the civil and military officials in the court were pretending to be dumb, Liu Hong had no choice but to say: "One thing is worth nothing, two masters. I'd rather ask Master Situ to recommend someone for this candidate."
Yuan Wei also complained in his heart, thinking over and over again and said: "I just heard that Yun and Han Yue here still have a sense of shame. Although the folk customs in the northwest are fierce, the power of my Han Dynasty has long been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. Taichang Song Xiao has always been dignified.
, is good at educating, if this person is appointed as the governor of Liangzhou, he will definitely be able to educate the people of Liangzhou and make the rebels change their minds."
"That's right, that's right. If nothing happens, just retreat." Liu Hong was obviously very impatient and said while holding back his sleepiness.
"The situation in Liangzhou is extremely critical now. It may be difficult to quell the rebellion by relying only on education. Only someone with both intelligence and courage can take control of Liangzhou to quell the rebellion. I am bold enough to recommend someone!" Fu Wei stood up again.
Liu Hong finally couldn't help but let out a sigh, "What Yuan Situ said is a mature way of seeking the country. We can't always fight and kill. Who do you recommend? Let's hear it."
"I recommend Gai Xun to be the governor of Liangzhou."
"Gaixun? This name is quite familiar. I think I have heard of it before."
"That's the Hanzhong Changshi who led the troops to rescue Zuo Chang." Zhang Rang reminded him softly from the side.
"Hahaha, I have no one, so I want to promote a long history to the governor of Liangzhou? Even if I sell my official position, I wouldn't dare to sell it like this."
Liu Hong had never been ashamed of selling his official position, and he spoke with ease and contentment. All the ministers burst into laughter when they heard this.
Fu Wei's face did not change when he heard this, and he still said seriously: "This man is brave and resourceful. The rebels attacked Ayang County only if he garrisoned it to save it. Moreover, this man's great-grandfather Gai Jin once served as the governor of Hanyang, and his grandfather..."
"Okay, okay. Since it was Fu Aiqing who recommended him, ask him if he can afford 10 million yuan? I, the governor of Liangzhou, sold it to him cheaply. You recommended Xia Yu just now, but I didn't even take the money. Ai
Sir, it’s better to stop it in moderation.”
After Liu Hong finished speaking, he turned back to his bedroom.
The ministers laughed again and dispersed, leaving Fu Wei kneeling in the hall in shock.
"Your Majesty, I have improved the crotchless pants, can you see if they work? I specially dug two holes in them to make it more convenient for Your Majesty...hehehehe"
"You old dog, if you hadn't had any eggs, I would have been really afraid that you would bring trouble to the palace. Hahaha, I like it. Quickly choose some beauties to wear..."
Fu Kuier couldn't help but burst into tears after hearing such ** words. Could it be that God wants to destroy this big man?
…
Yahouzhai, Baozhong County, Hanzhong County.
"You are finally here! Even Yuanming has been here for a few days. If you don't come, I will go back to Jizhou."
Tian Feng complained to Zhou Yuanfu angrily.
"Uncle Tian, don't worry, I encountered some accidents on the way. Also, I married another daughter-in-law, so I'm late."
Zhou Yuanfu briefly told Tian Feng what happened along the way. Naturally, he did not mention the matter of Diao Chan and Lu Buwei. He even had no shame to mention Cui Niupi's castration of Lu Bu.
Hearing this, Tian Feng stroked his beard and said, "You married a concubine from a noble family and gained the status of a noble family?"
"We also recruited a young general."
"By the way, did your wife tell you what her cousin's name is? Miss Du, could it be that her cousin is Du Ji?"
Tian Feng almost pulled out a bunch of beard in his anxiety.
"It seems to be called Du Ji, Du Ji. I heard her say it once. Is this person famous?"
