Well, I ask for votes every day, and the wealthy people who pass by, give me a ticket and recommend it to Lao Mao to warm up!
************************************
Luoyang Dongcheng, within the official post house.
Zhen Yi and her two sons were sitting opposite each other. The father and son were chatting happily.
A servant's voice sounded outside the hall: "Master Zhen, there is a visitor outside the door who wants to see you."
Zhen Yao stood up and went outside the hall to receive the name card handed over by the busboy, then turned around and handed it to Zhen Yi.
Zhen Yi took the name card and glanced at it briefly, with a hint of surprise on her face. She stood up hurriedly and said, "I'm going to invite you soon. Yan'er, please go and greet the guests as my father."
Zhen Yan heard her father's instructions and stood up in confusion and followed Zhen Yi outside. As she walked, she asked: "Father, who came to visit and deserved my father to be so happy? Could it be that Uncle Guo Dian and Guo returned to Beijing?"
"
Zhen Yi laughed and shook his head.
"Yan'er, the person who came here is none other than Yuan Shao and Yuan Benchu, the sons of Yuan Sikong. The Yuan family has been serving as eunuchs for generations. Starting from the ancestor of the Yuan family, Yuan Angong, there have been five people in the fourth generation who have been ranked among the three nobles. Everyone mentions the Yuan family.
He is called the Fourth Generation and the Third Duke. When my father first became an official, he once worshiped Yuan Sikong, so he and Yuan Benchu were actually family friends. Now that Yuan Benchu is willing to visit, it means that his father has come into the Yuan family's sight, which makes his father
How can I not be happy?"
When Zhen Yan heard that the person who came was Yuan Shao, he smiled with joy and repeatedly raised his hands to Zhen Yi: "Congratulations, father. If our Zhen family can establish a relationship with the Yuan Mansion, our future will be limitless."
After welcoming Yuan Shao into the lobby, Zhen Yi respectfully invited Yuan Shao to take a seat.
Yuan Shao has a tall figure and handsome appearance. He can be regarded as a talented person. I saw that Yuan Shao was not humble. He sat down at the head and put his hand on the table and said to Zhen Yi: "Brother Zhen, Shao is here for nothing else."
, but Dai Jia Shu came to the door and asked, I wonder what Brother Zhen Shi thinks of the Holy Emperor's favor and trust in the Tenth Hall?"
Yuan Shao was so rude that he called Zhen Yi, who was more than ten years older than him, brother Shi. He also got straight to the point and directly asked Zhen Yi about his attitude towards the ten permanent servants.
It's not that Yuan Shao is Meng Lang, but that Yuan Shao knows very well that relying on the reputation of the fourth and third prince of the Yuan family, many ministers in the court consciously or unconsciously regard themselves as disciples of the Yuan family. As time goes on, Yuan Shao has no time to talk to the ministers in the court.
, has lost its sense of awe.
Zhen Yi was stunned for a moment.
I originally thought that Yuan Shao came here to win over the Zhen family. Zhen Yi was promoted to the governor of Beihai. Although his official position was not very prestigious, he could be regarded as a small prince. It was a time when he was satisfied. Unexpectedly, Yuan Shao came to visit him.
Without saying a word of politeness, he directly asked Zhen Yi to express his attitude and join the camp against the ten permanent servants.
Zhen Yi hesitated for a moment, raised his head and was about to say something, when Yuan Shao continued: "Brother, Shi Chang served in the imperial court, deceived the emperor, and framed Zhongliang. Even the central pillars of the imperial court like Lu Gong and Lu Zigan were tied up and imprisoned.
, is there anything else that they can’t do? Brother Shixiong comes from a family of officials and has received many favors from the emperor. Don’t you want to eliminate the traitor and the traitor from your side and give me a prosperous future?”
Being provoked by Yuan Shao, before Zhen Yi could express his opinion, the two Zhen Yan brothers were already excited. They looked at their father with blushing faces and thick necks. They clenched their fists and wished they could immediately pick up the knife and kill Shi Changshi.
Zhen Yi looked solemn, gritted her teeth and handed over to Yuan Shaoyi: "At first, my dear brother was not a foolish brother who was timid and fearful of things. If he wanted to get rid of the Shi Chang Shi, he had to make long-term plans. Now there are many members of the Shi Chang Shi in the court. If anything goes wrong,
"Xie, our loss of life is only a small matter, but we are afraid of alarming the Holy Master and destroying our thousand-year legacy of the Han Dynasty. Then we will be infamy for eternity, and it will be too late to regret."
It is not difficult to kill ten regular servants, it is rare
What if they jump over the wall and hurt Emperor Ling?
Yuan Shao laughed.
"Brother, how could you act so recklessly at the beginning? I have persuaded General He and contacted many friends. Once the time is right, I can capture the Shichang servant dog thief in one fell swoop. Now I have come to Brother Shi's residence just to
To find out Brother Shi’s position, since Brother Shi has the intention to eliminate thieves for the country, I will invite Brother Shi to go to the General’s Mansion that day to receive the teachings of General He personally.”
Brother, don't get me wrong, I'm not asking you to go and kill Shi Changshi with a knife now. Everything has been arranged, so I'm here to see if you are of the same mind as us.
"In this case, I don't know when Ben Chu intends to impeach the ten permanent servants. Please move to Beihai at that time. Brother Yu will definitely be willing to join Ji Wei and jointly submit a letter."
That's fine, when you want to take action, let me know and I will definitely give up everything to help you.
Zhen Yi is also very cunning and speaks impassionedly, but the central meaning is very clear. The Yuan and Zhen families are family friends. I will definitely stand with your old Yuan family, but no matter how you want to deal with Shi Changshi, you must wait until I arrive in Beihai.
Let’s talk about it after taking office.
Yuan Shao was waiting for Zhen Yi's promise, and he would not immediately launch the attack against the Shi Changshi. However, before launching the attack, the more allies he could recruit, the better, and the greater his confidence would be.
"Well said, Brother You's words have made me feel refreshed and courageous. This is very good. I will go back and report to General He and ask him to take the time to invite Brother Brother to the General's Mansion."
After saying that, Yuan Shao stood up and said goodbye. After Zhen Yi and his son sent him out of the house, Zhen Yi let out a long sigh, turned around and ordered his entourage to prepare pens and inkstones.
Zhen Yan didn't understand the purpose of Zhen Yi's actions, so he chased after Zhen Yi and asked: "Father, Uncle Yuan is right, Shi Chang serves as a servant to bring trouble to the court, and everyone can kill him. Since General He is determined to get rid of the thieves, he must
The Shi Chang Shi will not be proud for long. My father's participation in the eunuch action is a great thing for the country and the people in every aspect, but why does the child feel that you, father, are not happy?"
Zhen Yi shook his head at Zhen Yan and said: "Yan'er, you think things are too simple. If the Shi Changshi is so easy to get rid of, why should General He look forward and backward to win over allies? Tomorrow you and I will lead the troops to leave Luoyang.
When I go to Beihai to take up my post, my father will write to Feng'er immediately and ask him to go to Beihai to meet him and discuss the matter of eunuchment in detail."
Zhen Yi thought well. While he was having a secret discussion with Yuan Shao, He Jin was also discussing Yuan Shao's proposal with a group of staff in the general's palace.
He Jin was tall and tall, with a dark complexion and erected beards all over his face. At first glance, he looked like a hedgehog lying on his shoulders.
"My lords, Yuan Shao and Yuan Benchu have recently been traveling among the governors and governors in various places, trying to recruit people to deal with the ten permanent servants headed by Zhang Rang. What do you think about this?"
He Jin himself loved Yuan Shao very much, not only because Yuan Shao's father and uncle were important officials in the court, but also because Yuan Shao was handsome and very eloquent, and he knew how to please He Jin.
However, He Jin was quite critical of Yuan Shao's intention to kill the ten regular servants.
Firstly, although the Shi Changshi was arrogant and domineering, he had always been very respectful to He Jin's brother and sister. Secondly, He Jin's sister, Queen He, was able to gain favor in front of the Ling Emperor in the first place, thanks to the help of Zhang Rang and others.
So from He Jin's heart, he is actually not very willing to deal with Shi Changshi. We all have friendships. Wouldn't it be better for both parties to join forces to get promoted and make a fortune together? Why do they have to fight back and forth, causing no peace for anyone?
Woolen cloth?
As soon as He Jin finished speaking, a scribe behind him stood up.
"General, what Yuan Benchu did seems to me to be the top priority we have to do at the moment.
Zhang Rang and others, relying on the favor of the Holy One, were arrogant and domineering and committed all kinds of evil. Previously, they falsely accused Lu Gong, which was detrimental to the battle. If it hadn't been for the protection of the general, Lu Gong would have died unjustly in prison. Later, Bi Sheng was eager to gain credit and actually recommended Dong Zhuo of Xiliang.
As the commander-in-chief of the Jizhou front line, he lost troops and generals, and suffered repeated defeats, which almost completely destroyed the Jizhou battlefield. Fortunately, Marshal Huangfu and Marshal Zhu responded in time, and the Yellow Turban rebels were forced into Julu to wait for death."
"Think about it, General. If we don't get rid of the ten permanent servants, who can guarantee that they will not cause more trouble in the future?"
He Jin took a closer look and saw that the person who spoke was none other than Yuan Shao's good friend Xu You and Xu Ziyuan.
Xu You was known for his talents and was once known as one of the Eight Talents of Luoyang. However, although Xu You was extremely talented, he also had many problems. Not only was he lacking in temperament and having a small belly, but he was also greedy for money and lust, and was
Most scholars regarded him as a cancer, and no one was willing to interact with him. On weekdays, only a few people such as Yuan Shao and Cao Cao could talk to him.
It is precisely because of this that He Jin has never thought much of Xu You. Now that he saw Xu You jumping out and making nonsense, he suddenly felt dissatisfied. He lowered his face and said: "Zi Yuan's words are too harsh. Although Lu Ziqian is in jail
There are factors for Zhang Rang and others to slander the Holy One, but it is also true that Lu Ziqian has been unable to attack Julu for a long time. As for Dong Zhuo's repeated defeats in front of Xiliang's formation, there is a reason for it, and it is not Dong Zhuo's incompetence that affects the three armies."
Dong Zhuo may have been a little bad in fighting, but he was definitely a top expert in dealing with people. He had a good relationship with Shi Changshi in private, and he also had a very good relationship with He Jin at some time. Not only did Xu You say something about Dong Zhuo,
If he said a bad word, He Jin would almost fall out with Xu You.
Xu You choked on He Jin's words and turned red. He flung his sleeves angrily and sat back down.
Another person stood up from under the table. He was tall, with a handsome face, and a long beard swaying in the wind. He cupped his hands and said to He Jinyi: "General, although Ziyuan's words are violent, what he said is not unreasonable. Now ten
The generals who often serve as servants have a bad reputation among the people, so the general must not be fooled by their clever words and tricks."
He Jin took a look and saw that the person speaking was none other than Xun You Xun Gongda, the leader of the eight heroes of Luoyang.
Xun You not only had a great reputation, but also had friends all over the world. He was He Jin's right-hand man who relied heavily on him. Of course, he could not be treated like he was scolding Xu You.
He Jin put a smile on his face and said to Xun You: "Then according to Gongda, these ten permanent servants must be eliminated?"
Xun You nodded.
"General, now you are using slanderous words to flatter your superiors, using high-ranking officials and generous salaries to promote your cronies, and your power in the court is growing day by day. If the general does not take these clowns into consideration, it will definitely cause serious trouble in the future."
He Jin thought about it carefully and felt that Xun You was right. Recently, he had indeed heard a lot of rumors about Shi Changshi wooing courtiers to expand his power. He nodded immediately: "Gongda's words are reasonable, so in the light of Gongda's opinion, we will
How should we deal with the Ten Constant Attendants?"
Xun You smiled slightly.
"The general has the army and horses in the world, and it is easy to capture a few eunuchs. However, Shi Changshi is deeply favored by the Holy One. To deal with them, the first priority is to keep secrets."
It's a trivial matter to capture a few eunuchs, but if the emperor is afraid of protecting them, it's best to hide them from the emperor and kill them first and then show off.
He Jin was lost in thought for a while, stood up and said, "Everyone, please drink first, and I will go to the palace right now."
After saying that, he stood up and left.
He had gone into the palace to discuss with his sister, Queen He.
Xu You saw that he was scolded by He Jin for what he said, but Xun You said almost the same thing as him, but received He Jin's approval. He was so angry that he became furious. After He Jin left the table, Xu You also walked away.
