The week of recommendations has passed like this. Looking at the miserable data, Lao Mao cried so much that he couldn't even shed tears.
I won’t say anything else, just try my best to tell this story.
************************************
In Luoyang City, in the Imperial Palace of the Han Dynasty.
Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty sat in a secluded quiet room with a pale face, and beside him stood a tall eunuch with a round waist.
"Your Majesty, it's time to drink medicine."
Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty nodded and suddenly asked: "Jian Shuo, are you wrong in saying that I want to depose Prince Liu Bian?"
If Jian Shuo hadn't been wearing eunuch clothes, he would have looked more like a warrior in terms of body shape.
"Your Majesty, both Crown Prince Liu Bian and Prince Liu Xie are your bloodline. Whoever takes over the throne and controls the world is your Majesty's family matter and depends on your decision."
You are the emperor, and whoever you want to be the new emperor can be the new emperor. There are no rules about establishing a direct descendant or an ancestral eldest son.
Jian Shuo was the absolute confidant of Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty. If Zhang Rang and Zhao Zhong could be regarded as Emperor Ling's literary assistant in the palace, then Jian Shuo was the sharp knife that Emperor Ling of Han had hidden deep in the forbidden palace.
Regarding the struggle for the throne between Liu Bian and Liu Xie, the Ten Changshi were not monolithic.
The mother of Prince Liu Bian was Empress He, the mother of the dynasty. Empress He's brother He Jin was a general and could be said to control almost all the military power near Luoyang.
The mother of the prince Liu Xie, Wang Mei, was poisoned and killed by the jealous Queen He shortly after giving birth to Liu Xie. Liu Xie was raised by the Queen Mother Dong from an early age, and behind him was the huge Dong family group of the Queen Mother's party.
Originally, it was impossible for Liu Xie to threaten Liu Bian's status as crown prince, but there were endless bizarre incidents surrounding Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty, and this was one of them.
Queen He was pregnant twice and gave birth to children, but was unable to raise them for some reason. Therefore, after giving birth to the crown prince Liu Bian, she fostered Liu Bian in the home of a Taoist priest who was said to have magical power. Liu Bian had never received royal orthodox education since he was a child.
After Ben grew up and entered the palace, he did not adapt to the rigid life in the palace. His speech and behavior seemed dissolute and frivolous, and he did not have the majestic temperament that a prince of a country should have, which was extremely unpopular with Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty.
However, Liu Xie lost his mother when he was young and grew up with his grandmother, the Empress Dowager Dong. Every move he made appeared to be obedient, steady and dignified. In the eyes of Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty, this was how he would look like the leader of a country in the future.
Of course, Empress He did not want Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty to abolish the eldest son and establish a young one, so she contacted the important ministers in the court through her brother He Jin, and used money to bribe Zhang Rang, Duan Gui and others among the ten permanent attendants in the palace, from both the palace and the court.
Constantly put pressure on Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty.
Faced with so many objections, Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty hesitated for a while. Since the Yellow Turban Rebellion broke out, his health was deteriorating. Feeling that his time was running out, Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty was even more eager to appoint a successor in the future.
people.
After hearing Jian Shuo's words, Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty let out a long sigh: "It's not that I don't want to settle it with one word, but there is no obvious mistake in the crown prince's proposal, and the prince Xie is still young and has no important officials in the court to help him. I'm afraid that once
After passing away, the Prince's Association was unable to stabilize the situation in the DPRK, and instead fell into the vicious hands of the He family."
Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty was not stupid either. Liu Xie lost his mother when he was young and was raised by the Empress Dowager Dong. There was no outside support in the court. Although the Dong family was powerful, not everyone was optimistic about Liu Xie. Naturally, Liu Xie
Will not fully support it.
What's more, Liu Xie's mother, Wang Meiren, was poisoned by Queen He. If Zhang Rang, Cao Jie and others, who were among the ten permanent servants, had not desperately recommended her, and important ministers in the court dissuaded her, Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty would have deposed Queen He at that time.
After his death, he was relegated to the cold palace.
Since Empress He was not abolished at the beginning, the He family has grown so much that even Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty is not willing to have an easy relationship with the He family.
There is conflict in the family.
The matter of inheriting the throne has reached this point, and everyone is really not satisfied with it.
Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty was not satisfied. He was the emperor, the best in the world, but he could not even appoint a successor he was satisfied with. How pitiful.
Queen He was dissatisfied. She was the queen, and her son was the eldest son, but her husband wanted to send the son of that dead bitch to the throne. What was going on?
Empress Dowager Dong was dissatisfied. She didn't like Empress He as her daughter-in-law. Of course, she even looked down upon Liu Bian, the daughter-in-law of Empress He. Her grandson Liu Xie, who was raised by her own hands, was such a good child. But for some reason, the court
How come there are so many people inside and outside who oppose Xie'er's succession to the throne?
As for heavyweights such as He Jin and Zhang Rang who hold real power, they are also dissatisfied.
Everyone in the world knows how much power they hold, but why is the emperor unwilling to accept their well-intentioned suggestions?
It was when all forces in Luoyang City were in chaos that Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty issued an order to summon Lin Feng to the court.
In the first month of the fifth year of Zhongping (188), Lin Feng, the captain of the Beihai Bandit School, came to Beijing according to the order. No one in the world paid much attention to this small captain-level transfer except the person involved.
Lin Feng urged his horse to go ahead, and behind him, a high-topped carriage with four horses and a shaft followed slowly behind him.
Luoyang, he doesn't have a good impression of this city. The next few years will be the most chaotic years in Luoyang City. If it weren't for Xi Zhicai who strongly advocated for Lin Feng to settle in Luoyang, Lin Feng would have wanted to squat far away at his home in Beihai, laughing.
Watch the tide rise and fall in Luoyang.
No one came to greet him, and Lin Feng's trip to Beijing was silent. Compared to the bustling capital, he was not even as good as a winter bird that had just passed by the Luoshui River.
As Xi Zhicai expected, after Lin Feng settled his family, he went to the General's Mansion alone to meet General He Jin.
At the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, the military power of the imperial court was in the hands of the general and his shogunate. The general commanded operations in wartime and participated in the affairs of the court in peacetime, so he had great real power.
Of course, in addition to the general He Jin, Luoyang also has military positions such as generals of hussars, generals of cavalry, and generals of guard. The shogunate under each general controls a part of the army. Although these armies also accept the name of the general.
command, but in fact these generals are restraining each other, which is what the emperor and the three princes are more willing to see.
Lin Feng had the impression that Cao Cao at this time was serving as an aide in the shogunate of General He Jin, but Lin Feng was not prepared to visit Cao Cao. After all, his visit to Luoyang was summoned by Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty himself.
Before being summoned by Emperor Ling, it is best not to be too active, so as not to be misunderstood by Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty as a selfish and clique person. Wouldn't it be too unfair?
Lin Feng was very disappointed with He Jin when he entered the General's Mansion for the first time.
It is normal for the little robber captain to not see the general He Jin in person, and Lin Feng is not arrogant enough to think that He Jin should come to meet him in person.
However, the staff responsible for receiving Lin Feng in the general shogunate only looked at the official documents handed over by Lin Feng, but waved Lin Feng to leave. They neither asked why Lin Feng came to Luoyang, nor arranged Lin Feng's new position after coming to Luoyang.
That is to say, after Lin Feng entered Luoyang, he still served as the captain of the Beihai Bandit Breaking School.
This ending made Liao Hua, Zhou Cang and others very dissatisfied.
If we had known this, why would we have come all the way to Luoyang? Wouldn't it be nice to stay comfortably in Beihai?
It was Lin Feng who took the initiative to calm down the restless emotions of his generals, leading Liao Hua, Zhou Cang, Pei Yuanshao and others to and from restaurants and theaters for several days, leading a life of debauchery.
After appeasing the generals, Yan'er started to get emotional again
He was having a bad temper. If Lin Feng hadn't slapped his forehead and remembered the reason, I'm afraid the fire in the backyard would have burnt him to pieces.
Cai Yong, a master of classics and history, was an official in the court. Lin Feng abducted his daughter Cai Wenji the year before last. In the past two years, he was busy with Beihai affairs. Cai Wenji did not want Lin Feng to be distracted by her affairs, so she never mentioned that she wanted to return to Luoyang to visit her parents and family.
.
Now that Lin Feng came to Luoyang with the order, he still did not mention the matter of sending Cai Wenji home and proposing marriage to Cai Yong, which naturally caused the talented girl Yan'er to have a minor sexual attack and become reluctant to give up.
Lin Feng had nothing to do now and wanted to discuss with the Cai family as soon as possible to finalize his relationship with Yan'er.
The next day, Lin Feng personally drove Yan'er back to Cai Mansion, and was already prepared to be treated coldly and even violently by Cai Yong, the old master.
Who asked him to kidnap someone else's daughter?
What Lin Feng and Yan'er didn't expect was that Cai Mansion in Luoyang was already empty.
Two years ago, Cai Yong was at odds with Liu He, the imperial minister. Liu He's wife worshiped the palace eunuch Cheng Huang as her adoptive father, so Liu He and his father-in-law, Cheng Huang, framed Cai Yong for accepting bribes for personal gain.
Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty sent the eunuch Da Changqiu Cao Jie to secretly investigate. Unexpectedly, Cao Jie and Cheng Huang had a good personal relationship. Therefore, Cai Yong was found guilty of accepting bribes for personal gain, and his family was exiled to Shuofang County.
When Yan'er heard that her family was suffering, she burst into tears. It wasn't until Lin Feng swore that he would save Lao Taishan's family and restore Lao Taishan's innocence that Yan'er burst into tears.
It was precisely because Cai Yong's family was exiled that Yan'er began to actively participate in Lin Feng's development in Luoyang.
Previously in Beihai, Yan'er basically did not participate in any affairs in Beihai on the grounds that her daughter's family should stick to the back house.
Now that Yan'er is willing to come out to help Lin Feng plan, Lin Feng is so happy that he can't even slap him together.
Cai Wenji's intelligence is 86 and politics is 80. She is a real counselor who is no worse than the drama talent. Having Cai Wenji help Lin Feng steer the ship is equivalent to having an extra strategist.
After more than two months of leisure in Luoyang, Lin Feng finally received a notice from Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty summoning him.
When Lin Feng, under the guidance of the young eunuch, met Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty in the West Garden of Luoyang, he suddenly discovered that he had actually been involved in famous historical events.
Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty summoned a total of eight school captains in Xiyuan. With these eight school captains as the backbone, a famous military organization in the late Eastern Han Dynasty was formed: the Eight School Lieutenants of Xiyuan.
The Eighth School Lieutenants of Xiyuan were directly under the leadership of Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty. Each captain had 10,000 imperial troops under his command. Moreover, the Eighth School Lieutenants of Xiyuan School had the power to control all the troops in the world during wartime. That is, the Eighth School Lieutenants of Xiyuan School were
It is basically another military force besides the independence and the shogunate, whose military power even exceeds that of the shogun.
The eight captains are:
Senior Military Academy Lieutenant - Xiaohuangmen·Jian Shuo;
Lieutenant of the Central Military Academy - Huben Zhonglang General Yuan Shao;
Lower Military Academy Lieutenant - Tunqi Academy Lieutenant Bao Hong;
Dian Military Academy Lieutenant - Yilang Cao Cao;
Lieutenant of the Left Colonel to assist the army - Lin Feng;
Assistant to the right commander of the army - Feng Fang;
Zuo Xiaowei - admonishing doctor Xia Mou;
The right captain - Chunyu Qiong.
To be honest, Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty did not expect this saucy move.
The military assistant Zuo Lieutenant in history should be Zhao Rong.
Zhao Rong later served as a bandit general under Cao Cao, but now that his position has been replaced by Lin Feng, his future career may not be smooth.
