Chapter 1885 The Dong family on the side of the Qing emperor
When Yamazaki was looking at the stars, he heard many people talking about him with the help of his spiritual energy.
There are three that I care about, General Dong from the northwest, General Sun from the southeast, and General Cao who is a son of an eunuch.
General Dong has a powerful army under his command. Although the military discipline is poor, it is the most murderous. It is obvious that he has cultivated the soldiers of the imperial court into his own soldiers.
This person was born fat and strong, and looks rough, but his work is not rough.
Being heroic is true, but being brave and foolhardy is a deliberate pretense.
General Dong was counting the plundered property and planned to send it to the eunuch. He also wanted to use his head to please the eunuch in order to gain benefits.
General Sun also had an elite team in his hands, but they said Yamazaki was good and used this to scold the eunuchs.
General Cao's words surprised Yamazaki, because he was actually considering turning against the eunuchs.
…
The killings continued all night, but the large army of government troops left the next day to pursue the Taiping Taoist master.
Some of the powerful men also left, and the three brothers Liu, Guan, and Zhang also followed because they did not want them to stay and interfere.
Since they had to travel quickly and could not bring anyone with them, the four Yamasakis stayed behind with their luggage.
The four of them did not join the group and started their own business to collect the remains.
In full public view, no one would bother anyone who wanted to kill Yamazaki. After all, the person who died was the most important.
I thought they were just burying acquaintances, but I didn't expect that they never stopped.
In the latter half of the year, news came that the Taoist Master of Taiping Road had passed away due to illness, and the atmosphere in the camp suddenly became lively.
Yamazaki knew that after the battle was over, those who wanted to kill him would not wait any longer.
Sure enough, someone came to assassinate him that night, but the four Yamazakis escaped. They didn't find anyone, so they left it alone.
During the day, the four people did not show up.
At the end of the month, when the three brothers Liu, Guan, and Zhang came back, the assassination incident would be over.
…
Returning to the capital to discuss merit and rewards, it was just before the New Year when we arrived in the capital.
The officers and soldiers who returned to the camp returned to the camp, and those who returned home returned home.
Private soldiers who have families return home, while those who don't have families stay outside the city.
Although Liu Ren belongs to the royal family, his family background is not good. He is just a straw sandal seller. Naturally, he has not bought a house in the capital, let alone a house that can accommodate many people.
At this time, Shi Changshi was at the height of his power. Even if Confucianism wanted to help Liu Ren, it would not be possible now, otherwise whoever helps would be in trouble.
They don't think about themselves, but also think about their disciples and old friends, so they won't move.
Instead, they sent some people to deliver some money in a roundabout way. Each one was not much, but a little bit for each person added up to a lot, which made the three brothers Liu, Guan, and Zhang look at Yamazaki in an even more special light.
Liu also hoped that Yamazaki would keep his word, because Yamazaki didn't come and found an excuse to stay there to dispose of the remains, but promised to go find him.
The excuse was that the eunuchs were very powerful in the capital. If he went to the capital with him as a thorn in his side, he would need someone to protect him, which would become a drag.
It's better not to go, to avoid unnecessary trouble.
…
On New Year's Day, the emperor went up to the tower to reward everyone.
The emperor actually didn't know who was who, so he just took the notes written by the eunuchs and followed the script.
Liu Ren was only a small official, without even a fiefdom, which made Mr. Zhang so angry that he wanted to kill someone.
But this is a golden saying, and there is no chance to change it.
I can only go to office honestly and be treated well unexpectedly, because Confucianism.
However, the order was changed at night, and within three months, the superiors issued an order, and officials who received military honors were not counted.
In fact, it was aimed at Liu Ren, because he was the only one who was still an official, and the others were at least officials.
Liu Ren was extremely angry, but was persuaded by his superiors.
The power of eunuchs is currently at its peak, but sooner or later it will decline one day, so we must take a long-term view.
At the same time, he was advised to go to his senior general, General Gongsun of the Northeast, and learn how to run an army.
Liu Ren felt better, and he thought it was right, so he went with his two brothers.
…
As for the imperial court, due to the organized rebellion in the northwest, it also stopped pursuing the remnants of the Yellow Turbans.
The army moved in to quell the rebellion, but failed in one year and failed to win in two years. In the third year, the court delegated power to various regions and established prefectures, hoping to better govern and command the troops.
It took another year to put down the rebellion, but at this time, due to the capture of the state herders, military and political forces, the world was already in chaos.
In the New Year of Linghai Kingdom 745, Yamazaki predicted that major events would happen in the world this year. Under Scorpio's instigation, Miss Gu Diao and Gu Ling'er made a fuss together, and the four of them ended their boring life of transcendence.
He went to the capital and bought a house to live in. The money was exchanged for a large number of talismans to remove filth.
Because of Taiping Dao, the imperial court became harsh on Taoist priests. Although they did not ban Taoist priests, they inspected them very strictly.
Many fake Taoist priests simply return to secular life, or change their ways to associate with powerful people, while true Taoist priests naturally stay further away from the secular world.
At the same time, due to the war, all the talisman craftsmen who were not protected by aristocratic families were transferred away, and talismans in the world became more valuable.
…
The officials in the capital were busy and busy, so Yamazaki asked the three of them to practice at home, especially Scorpio, and kept him from going out to avoid trouble.
When I couldn't hold it any longer, I told him that he would arrange the day.
In the past five years, the four people have saved many remains, especially during the Yellow Turban War, which was really a mountain of remains.
The four of them have gained a lot of humane merits. Now Miss Gudiao's external skills are almost complete, and she is not far away from ascending to immortality.
Even Scorpio has enough merits to follow Miss Gu Diao to heaven.
At this time, you must not lose the big for the sake of small things and create extraneous branches.
Scorpio also understands, so he informs Yamazaki when something happens and listens to the arrangement honestly.
…
Half a year after Ansheng's life passed, the emperor who liked to sell his official positions and get titles died, and his relative, General He, had a direct conflict with the eunuchs over who should be the new emperor.
General He, his relative, was not sure of the power of the eunuchs, so he recruited General Dong from the northwest to join the Qing Dynasty in Beijing.
As a result, the news leaked out, and when he was in court, he was surrounded and killed by assassins sent by the eunuchs in the palace.
Then, the eunuchs and the Queen Mother of the East Palace quickly chose a new emperor who was less than 14 years old to ascend the throne, and then issued an imperial edict for General Dong to retreat.
At this time, General Dong's army was about 10 million miles away from the capital.
News of the new emperor's accession to the throne and General He's death spread quickly.
The whole country was in an uproar, but General Dong heard about it, but he pretended to be stupid and let the army continue to advance.
I rushed to General Dong's camp with an order, but saw no one. I heard that he had returned to the northwest to handle military affairs, so I had to continue running to the northwest.
In fact, General Dong came and went against the will.
Overtly, he was preparing to listen to the imperial edict and obey it, but secretly he was mobilizing elite forces.
By the time the herald had traveled more than 10,000,000 miles, General Dong was ready for a big battle.
The elite troops flew millions of miles to the surroundings of the capital, and then attacked the eastern capital at night - under the guise of being ordered to Qingjun's side, they stormed into the palace at night.
None of the eunuchs expected this move, and they had no time to mobilize their troops, so they could only flee in panic.
