Just when Chen Chong and Dong Bai escaped from Chang'an and went straight to Puban, Jia Xu had no time to pay attention to Chen Chong's life and death. This was not because Jia Xu despised Chen Chong, but because after Lu Bu led his troops to Beijing, there were many things going on in the court.
The burden rests on him alone.
When Lu Bu entered the capital, the emperor personally led the crowd to welcome him. He pointed at Lu Bu and said to the ministers, "This is my Zhou Bo."
When the Lu clan rebelled against the Han Dynasty, it was Zhou Bo and Chen Ping who secretly plotted to kill the Lus when Empress Lu passed away, welcoming Emperor Wen to take over the throne and rule personally, thus preserving the Han Dynasty. And the emperor compared Zhou Bo to Lu Bu, which is not unreasonable.
Lu Bu was greatly moved when he heard this. He drew his sword and swore an oath that he would go through fire and water for your majesty and kill the traitors in the country.
When the ministers at the Shangshutai heard this, they found out that the emperor compared Liu and Chen to Zhu Lu, and compared himself to Taizong, who revitalized the Han Dynasty.
, he was also very respectful to the emperor, but he was just wavering between Liu Bei and the emperor, and he ended up as a traitor who didn't know whether he was alive or dead. Even the ministers who had different political views with Chen Chong couldn't help but feel a little chilled at this time.
Later, the emperor sat in the same chariot with Lu Bu and rescued Fu Wan and others who were imprisoned from Situ's house. When the emperor saw Situ Fu Wan, Fu Wan's body was covered with cuts and bruises, and there were many hot blood blisters on his body. Seeing this,
The father-in-law and his son-in-law couldn't help but hug each other and shed tears. The emperor pointed to the scars on Situ's body and said to Lu Bu: "Chen Chong has been waiting for Situ here. If the general comes a moment later, I don't know where he's going!"
When Lu Bu heard this, he immediately swore an oath: "I will kill this thief for Your Majesty." He also said: "But now we have to sort out the court situation and make plans." The implication was that he wanted to seek a status from the emperor.
After all, as a shepherd of Liangzhou, although he came to Beijing under the imperial edict, it was unreasonable and he had to have a suitable official position.
Lu Bu's original intention was to get Chen Chong's position as Sili Lieutenant. After all, in his opinion, in the past few years, Chen Chong had supervised the officials, changed the government and mobilized the army. One word was enough to demote the high officials, and one word was enough to promote the common people, although it was not as good as
He is a true emperor, but he is also really majestic. Moreover, after several years of reclamation and embankment construction by Chen Chong in Sanfu, Guanzhong is still not as prosperous as it was during Zhongzong's time, but it can still be called a thousand miles of fertile wilderness. In addition, the dangers of Xiao and Han are blocked by large rivers.
, it can be said to be an imperial residence, very popular.
In the previous secret letters discussing the uprising, Lu Bu and Liu Yan had actually made a secret agreement with the emperor through Dong Cheng: after the incident was completed, Liu Fan would be appointed as the commander of the Sili school, and Lu Bu would be the pastor of Bingzhou. But now Lu Bu alone controls Chang'an and Shu.
The army in the middle is still unknown, and the matter of annexing the state is difficult to explain. Lu Bu thought: The emperor must be so smart that he must understand what he means.
Unexpectedly, the emperor wiped the corners of his eyes and said calmly: "Lu Qing has contributed to saving the country, but Liu Bei deceived the emperor and stole the throne, which was a loss of the emperor's favor and his great reputation. How about this, I will give the position of general to Lu
Your Majesty, I am ordering the soldiers and horses of the world to help you fight against thieves. What do you think?"
Lu Bu didn't expect the emperor's words, and he was immediately in a dilemma. If the position he was most jealous of was Liu Bei's general position. However, considering that Liu Bei had not been eliminated, Chen Chong was missing, and Liu Yan and Liu Biao were eyeing him in the south, he did not
I had such an extravagant hope, but unexpectedly the emperor took the initiative to propose it. But in this case, who would be asked to be the Sili Xiaowei? If Liu Fan was still left to him, wouldn't his work be in vain?
Just when he was in trouble, Jia Xu stepped out slowly and said sternly to Lu Bu: "If the general thinks that he is alone, he might as well ask Situ to help him. I heard that Situ's family has many famous names, and the eldest son Fu De is also a dragon and a phoenix among people. Why not
How about using him as a lieutenant in charge of the military affairs department and as a general to assist the left?"
"Oh." When the emperor heard this, his eyes couldn't help but light up. He looked at Jia Xu in a blink of an eye and found that this middle-aged man looked strangely familiar, so he asked Lu Bu about this person's identity, and found out that he was Jia Xu, who was one of the Ten Schools under Dong Zhuo's command.
One of the captains. He recalled for a moment and couldn't help but laugh and said: "I remembered that the person who followed Dong Zhuo to Mang Mountain to rescue him must have been Jia Qing!"
Jia Xu's expression did not change and he admitted in public: "I was the one who advised the Grand Master to go to Mang Mountain at that time."
When the emperor heard this, he couldn't help being surprised. Lu Bu took advantage of this moment and said: "Wen He is the mastermind of my trip. He has made great contributions. Please rely on your majesty."
Only then did everyone know that Lu Bu's plan to attack Xijing came from Jia Xu's hand. The ministers in Taichung were jealous and afraid, but the emperor was very close to him after hearing this. He took Jia Xu's hand and said, "In this way,
Jia Qing is also my benefactor. I want to make you the minister, what should I do?"
When everyone heard this, they were all envious. Shangshu Ling was originally an important position alongside Sili Xiaowei, and was the prime minister of the world's secrets. Jia Xu was a traitor before, but now he has become the most important minister in the emperor's inner court. It can be said that he is
Things are unpredictable.
Unexpectedly, Jia Xu actually declined and said: "The post of Shangshuling is the teacher of an official, and the world looks forward to it. The reputation is not important, and it is not enough to convince people. Even if you take it because of the glory and benefit, it will be of no benefit to the country!"<
/p>
These remarks made the emperor even more happy. He turned to Fu Wan and said with a smile: "Master Chen is carrying me. I was quite worried. Unexpectedly, I gained Jia Qing today. It can be said that I have lost everything and gained nothing." So he still persisted.
He appointed Jia Xu as an admonishing official and temporarily recorded the affairs of the minister. According to what Jia Xu had said before, Fu De was appointed as the commander of the Sili school and Lu Bu was appointed as the general. He still refused to give up and invited Jia Xu to come that night.
Shangshu Taichung asked him about his strategy for revitalizing the country.
Jia Xu had already prepared a plan for this, so he immediately offered three strategies to the emperor and elaborated on them one by one.
One is to appease the remaining people in Sili Mansion.
Although Chen Chong is currently missing, his life and death are uncertain, and Liu Bei is seriously ill with typhoid fever and unable to see things, this is indeed a great opportunity for the emperor to regain his authority. However, Jia Xu advised the emperor to remember the story of Wang Yun's murder of Dong Zhuo.
We do not care about the few who live, but we are afraid of the many who die. If we force them to die, chaos will inevitably occur. Who among the ministers of the Manchu Dynasty has not interacted with the Sili Mansion? Even Dong Cheng's subordinates were defeated, and there were probably many of them. Moreover, Si Li
There are also many talented people in the Lifu. If they can be collected and put to use, it will be a blessing to the country.
Therefore, Jia Xuxian's first strategy was to treat Chen Chong's wife, children, and children kindly to show the emperor's kindness and sincerity. Then he selected virtuous old men and famous officials from the Sili Mansion, and held them in high positions with false titles. In this way, he slowly took over the power of the government.
Examine the imperial examination, select loyal and capable people among the students, and take charge of the Tai Pavilion, Palace Guards, Huben, Beijun and other places. In this way, it only takes two or three years to make people's hearts flow and become normal.
New and clear.
The second is to support Hangu and rush to the east of Hedong.
The current situation is that Jinyang Bafu was defeated, but the remaining power is still there. Thanks to Dong Cheng and Liu Chong taking personal risks and occupying dangerous places such as Hangu Pass and Maojin, the Liang army has a good opportunity for a surprise attack. Now Chang'an has
Next, it is convenient to increase the army of Hongnong to relieve Dong Cheng's siege from east to west. However, we cannot use large armies. After all, Hangu Pass and Maojin are dangerous places and cannot be captured easily. We only need to send a partial division to cut off Xu Huang.
As for the retreat, ordering peace to his troops will allow them to collapse without a fight.
Jia Xu's main attack direction was aimed directly at Hedong. Hedong is still occupied by Bafu, but Bafu's heavy troops were restrained by Cao's army and had to be hoarded in Shangdang and Hanoi. As a result, Hedong's troops were inevitably empty. At this time, Chang'an fell.
The news has not yet reached Bingzhou, and the river is frozen by ice and snow, allowing the army to move freely. Therefore, the main force of the Liang army can continue to gallop eastward. As long as Hedong can be captured, the troops will be divided to guard Yong'an, Jiguan, and Puzi.
The dangers of mountains and rivers are all in hand, no matter how angry and unwilling Ren Bafu is, it will not help.
The third is to group the clans into clans and plan to destroy the hegemony.
This strategy is based on long-term considerations. At present, Cao Cao in Hebei supports Liu He as the king of Qinghe, and in the south there are Liu Yan in Yizhou and Liu Biao in Jingzhou. None of them are easy to deal with, especially Liu Yan. Although he has made an appointment with the Liang people to be a diligent king and punish the thieves.
However, looking at their behavior, they seem to have the intention of being disloyal. Jia Xu also analyzed that these people are no better than the thieves of the great ancestors. They have been running Fangzhen for a long time and have become a country of their own. It is difficult to die. On the other hand, looking at Guanzhong,
The emperor was only able to take charge of the government personally at this time, and he had not yet established the throne, and his fame was only just beginning, and it was far from the time to bring peace to the world.
With this conclusion, Jia Xu concluded that for Fang Zhen, he could only win over Fang Zhen with a title, and must not break with him. Bafu was a life-and-death enemy, and he must be eliminated first and then quickly. After the merger of the prefecture, Henan and other places was consolidated, he could
It is a strategy to unify the rivers and mountains. However, now that the towns have extremely powerful ministers, if they want to be ennobled again, I am afraid they can only be awarded with royal titles.
After these three strategies were presented, the emperor felt as if the clouds had been lifted and the sun suddenly opened up. He stood up and walked back and forth quickly. Suddenly he took Jia Xu's hand and said repeatedly: "Sir, this is really a gift from heaven!"
"Primary Evolution"
So early the next morning, the emperor came to the chancellery and issued three edicts one after another.
The first is to pardon the innocent people of Situ's mansion, and make Chen Chen the Shaofu, Yao Gong the admonishing official, Kong Rong Taichang, Tao Qiuhong the chief agricultural officer. Cui Yan from Taixue is also promoted to the position of Lieutenant Commander of the Northern Army.
, Sun Yan was appointed as Tingwei, Liu Yao was appointed as Zongzheng, Xi Lu was appointed as Weiwei, and Yang Biao was appointed Sikong. He also promised that after one month, he would take the imperial examination in Taixue and recruit those with both ability and political integrity to be Langguan. The second is the military order, which rewards the various military services of the Liang army. In addition to making Lu Bu the general yesterday, today he also made Han Sui the former general, Ma Teng the rear general, Song Jian the left general, Gao Shun the right general, and Zhang Liao the left.
Feng Yi, Cao Xing was the prefect of Hongnong, and he allocated tens of thousands of gold coins from the treasury to boost the morale of the army. On the other hand, he also collected 200,000 dendrobium and rice from the Yi Cang as army rations, and transferred Han Sui and Ma Teng to the emergency.
The attack on Hedong must start within three days.
The final edict was to confer royal titles. The emperor recognized Liu Yu, Liu and his father and son Qin Wang for their meritorious service, and specifically recognized his title as King of Qinghe. In turn, he named Liu Yan, the Mu of Yizhou, the King of Shu, and Liu Biao, the Mu of Jingzhou, the King of Wan.
In addition to these people, he also appointed Sun Ce as the general who Zhendong, envoy Chijie, and the governor of Yangzhou and Xuzhou military forces. Chen Wang Liu Chong was the shepherd of Yuzhou, envoy Chijie, and governor of Yuzhou and Yanzhou military forces. Zhang Jin, the governor of Jiaozhou, was the general of Zhennan.
, envoy Chijie, commanding the military affairs of Jiaozhou.
After the three edicts were written, all the ministers in Taichung looked down upon them, and then they praised the officials as sages. After all, the emperor was a young man, and he couldn't help but feel a little elated when he was praised by him. At this time, he suddenly remembered Dong Zhao and told Jia
Xu said: "It's a pity that I was able to take charge this time. Dong Zhao also worked hard, but he was arrested by Master Chen. He didn't know where he was at this time. I originally wanted to let him be the imperial censor after I took charge.
Miles!"
Unexpectedly, when Jia Xu heard this, he persuaded him: "Your Majesty, although Dong Zhao has a strategy, two or three of his masters entered Chen Chong's house and betrayed his master. It can be seen that he is a treacherous villain and cannot be relied upon. Your Majesty will take charge of the government personally at the beginning of this year."
, In fact, if one is wise and virtuous, it is better not to associate with him."
The emperor was quite satisfied, and asked Jia Xu in a low voice: "What do Wen He think of the general?"
Jia Xu replied in a low voice: "The general is extremely brave, but he is prone to frivolous words and has an extremely arrogant nature. He cannot be relied upon. If the time is right, get rid of him as soon as possible."
This surprised the emperor. He thought for a moment and declined the proposal, saying: "As Wen He said, even Chen Chong's family can support and treat him kindly to show his kindness, but he wants to kill Lu Bu.
Hero, isn’t this absurd?”
Before Jia Xu could continue to speak, the emperor waved his hand and said, "This is not a one-day achievement. Let's think about it in the long run." Jia Xu had no choice but to give up.
Unexpectedly, the next day after the discussion, news came that the general Lu Bu wanted to enter the Sili Mansion to plunder, but he actually got into a fight with Kong Rong when he left the Sili Mansion, and then whipped Kong Rong to death and hung it in the city to show the public.
