Lu Bu and other state-bordering troops quickly withdrew.
Liu Jian finally formally met with Liu Bei and others.
Zheng Ci and Xiang Haer's carriage has also been picked up by Jizhou sergeants, and the husband and wife, father and son, are reunited.
Liu Jian hugged Liu Bei hard, slapped his back hard, and then looked at him carefully.
But he saw that Liu Bei was tired from work, and the bloodshot eyes in the whites of his eyes had not receded. It was obvious that Yousi was overworked.
"Brother, thank you for your hard work!"
Liu Bei waved his hand weakly and said, "No need to thank me. Anyway, I delivered my younger siblings and Xiangba'er to you intact. Alas, this burden will be lifted from me. I will be much more relaxed in the future."
"Hahaha!"
Liu Jian smiled and shook his head: "I'm afraid it's not as good as you think, brother. You have relieved the burden of Luoyang, but when you return to Jizhou, I'm afraid you will still be a hard worker. You have to do everything for me.
Worry! The chores that Jizhou has to deal with may not be less than those in Luoyang City."
Dong Zhuo sighed: "I know what my dear brother said. I don't expect the Yang family to support my politics. I just hope that they can support me in doing a big thing!"
When a husband and wife meet, they have a lot to say to each other, but for a moment they don’t know how to say it.
Arriving at his temporary residence, Dong Zhuo was covered in armor and looked back and forth at the exquisite facilities in the house.
After some investigation, it was learned that Emperor Liu Bian and Queen He had indeed been captured by Zhang Ji under Dong Zhuo's command.
Dong Zhuo said with a smile but not a smile: "To govern the world, we still need scholars after all. It's just that I was born in Liangzhou and was underestimated by the Guandong clan. If I don't do one or two big things to win the hearts of the world's scholars, how can I last long?
The leader is Chaogang? Assists the emperor in governing the world?"
"What big thing does brother want to do?"
Dong Zhuo nodded and looked at Dong Min: "In the imperial city, all the inner palace guards have been replaced by our people. From now on, I will have full control over every move of the emperor and the queen mother, and there will be no orders from me.
, no one can enter the North Palace to see the emperor... Shuying, I leave all matters concerning the imperial city to you!"
Dong Zhuo smiled and said: "Don't worry, I have already prepared for this matter."
Although they did not understand the meaning of Liu Jian's words, Zhang Fei, Zhao Yun, Zhang He and others still followed his words.
And it was just an early dynasty. Because of Dong Zhuo's rescue work, the emperor directly deposed Sikong Liu Hong and listed Dong Zhuo as the third prince.
…
Of course, the imperial troops in the capital have their own commanders, and it is impossible for them all to obey Dong Zhuo's orders at once. But now Dong Zhuo has dispatched a large number of his trusted officers from Liangzhou, and now he has returned to Luoyang with the emperor, regardless of
Both military strength and political reputation have reached their peak.
After setting up camp, Liu Jian immediately sent people to investigate the current situation of the court.
Under this condition, it shouldn't be too difficult for Dong Zhuo to use the Xiliang Military Academy to seize Luoyang's military power.
That's true, but will those scholars really recognize Liangzhou people like them?
Liu Jian came to his senses.
Dong Zhuo's follow-up troops took him by surprise and captured Huangfu Song's military power in Fufeng. Now most of his troops have arrived in Luoyang.
Therefore, Liu Jian immediately stationed troops on the bank of Luoshui River. He assigned elite soldiers, led by Li Damu and Yu Ze, to escort Zheng Ci and Liu Ji back to Yecheng.
Subsequently, the follow-up troops of Xu Rong, Xiahou Lan, Shen Pei and Ju Shu also arrived.
Zheng Ci hurriedly picked up Xiangba'er and said, "Xiangba'er, please call me daddy."
Xiangba'er is now almost three years old and can speak. Although he is still a little strange when seeing Liu Jian, he still calls out: "Father."
Zhang Fei laughed at the side and said: "Brother, now that we have received Brother Xuande and his sister-in-law, we can withdraw our troops and return to Yecheng!"
Although the situation in Luoyang City seems to be tentative, anyone with a discerning eye knows that the real storm is just coming.
Then, Li Damu was seen coming to Liu Jian with Zheng Ci in his arms.
"The same goes for Taicang and the arsenal. All the people on the garrison, except for the Xiliang sergeants, don't think twice!"
Suddenly, the entire Luoyang City underwent earth-shaking changes.
"Here!"
After all, there are many outsiders around, and it is really difficult to say some things in front of so many people.
Zhang Fei seemed a little confused.
"Ha ha ha ha!"
Having said that, Dong Zhuo looked around at everyone and said: "As for the power of the court, if you want to take control as soon as possible, it is nothing more than taking control of military power first, then financial power, and thirdly, human rights!"
As soon as he said this, everyone in the audience was shocked.
"Thank you Mr. Dong!"
Liu Jian narrowed his eyes and whispered: "The private affairs in Luoyang City have been completed, but there are still official affairs that have not been completed. After tonight, the situation in the Han Dynasty will change. At this juncture, we cannot leave easily!"
Hu Zhen immediately stood up and said: "I will obey Sikong's order!"
"Brother, why is this so?"
Dong Zhuo himself took the emperor and the queen mother and returned to Luoyang. Outside the imperial city, he denounced the officials for their incompetence and inability to help the royal family, which caused the emperor to suffer hardship and led to turmoil in the country.
"Nowadays, most of the military power in the city is in the hands of me. Among the Huben Army and the Forbidden Army, although there are still some middle-level military academies who are not convinced by me, they are all unsatisfactory. I decided to make Hu Zhen the protector of the capital to disrupt the various forces in the capital.
The establishment of the battalion will be fully coordinated by the Xiliang Military Academy and gradually incorporated to stabilize the military power. As long as the military power is stable, Luoyang City and the court will be stable, and Laojiufu will be in an invincible position."
"Hey, after all, it's much better than worrying here." Liu Bei sighed with emotion.
Dong Min said hesitantly: "Although brother's idea is good, we and other people from Liangzhou have never been valued by people in Guandong, and we even tend to be disparaging. Even if brother intends to show favor to the Yang family, I am afraid that
You may not get his support.”
And last night, in the Beigong in Luoyang City, He Miao, the younger brother of General He Jin, was attacked and killed by Dong Min, the younger brother of Dong Zhuo. The army affiliated to the General's Mansion was leaderless and had no one to belong to. Dong Zhuo sent his troops to the west.
The generals of the Liang army led the army.
As a direct descendant of Dong Zhuo, Niu Fu took over all the defense of Luoyang City and the Northern and Southern Palaces.
All the wealthy people from Xiliang looked at each other, their eyes full of doubts.
After Dong Zhuo sat down, he saw Dong Min saying to Dong Zhuo: "Brother, now Luoyang has been settled, but the situation is not stable. The ministers in the court are angry and dare not speak out because my brother has a large army. However, in the final analysis, only
I'm just scared of the military power in my brother's hands. I'm afraid there may be some moves behind my back. I should be more careful and don't be careless."
"Here!"
Dong Zhuo laughed heartily, came to the main seat and sat down, turned around and looked at all the military schools, and said happily: "Now that things have happened, I finally have a place in Luoyang City. It will be a lot of hard work for all the princes to accompany me in the war."
, Today’s prosperity will not be a burden, and when things are settled in Beijing, we will enjoy the wealth and peace together!"
"Brother, now that everything has been done, what are we still doing here?"
Liu Jian reached out and held Liu Ji in his arms, smiling and touching his cheek.
"Be good, good son!"
Dong Zhuo stood up and said: "More than half of the ministers in the court are headed by the Yuan family, but it doesn't matter. He Jin has recently recruited those people. I should personally invite them in order to let them come to the government to serve as my staff. In addition, there are also Send someone to contact Yang Biao, the son of Yang Ci. The Yang family and the Yuan family were both the heads of the Luoyang nobles, but now they are being suppressed by the Yuan family. When it is time to win over, we still need to win over some."
He handed the fragrant baby back to Zheng Ci, then shook his head and said: "No! We can't leave for the time being... Send someone to escort Madam and Ji'er back to Yecheng. Our soldiers and horses are temporarily stationed here."
Dong Zhuo narrowed his eyes and said: "As a brother, I want to rehabilitate Chen Fan, Dou Wu, and many party members who were arrested and killed in the party prison during the coup in the first year of Jianning!"
The contempt the Guandong people have for the Liangzhou people did not happen overnight, it can be described as deep-rooted.
At this moment, the Liangzhou scribe who had impersonated He Jin and wrote military orders for Dong Zhuo stood up.
"If Sikong wants to stabilize the government, it is not enough just to rehabilitate Chen Fan, Dou Wu and the party officials. In the Han Dynasty, in addition to the gentry, there have always been eunuchs and Han clan members in the court. Nowadays, most of the eunuchs have died, but the power of clan members cannot be underestimated. When the late emperor was still alive, most of them relied on clan members as their arms. Now Jizhou Shepherd Liu Deran is stationed outside Luoyang City, and Sikong still needs to send someone to contact Liu Jian. Gaining his support may help stabilize the imperial court."
Dong Zhuo sighed: "Speaking of which, during the Luoyang Rebellion, two treasures in the harem were taken away by Liu Jian. It's time for me to discuss this with him."
