In the huge palace, outside Liu Hong's bedroom, several chamberlains stood there with their heads lowered, trembling, not daring to make the slightest move, for fear of making some noise and disturbing the people in the palace.
In the palace, there was a slim figure wearing gorgeous palace clothes, with a somewhat sad look on her delicate face, and on the bed opposite her was Liu Hong.
However, Liu Hong's situation seemed to be a little bad at this moment. He was half leaning on the bed and his face was quite pale. He was obviously suffering from an illness. At this moment, Liu Hong's face was full of anger and he stared at the woman in front of him and said:
"Is the queen here just to see how long I can hold on?"
Needless to say, this woman is the He family created by Liu Hong.
When Queen He heard this, the expressions of sadness on her face became even more intense, and she turned to Liu Hong with a look full of grievances: "Your Majesty, if you say this, where do you put the relationship between you and me as husband and wife? I am here only to care about Your Majesty.
The safety of the dragon’s body has no other intentions!”
As she spoke, Queen He came forward, bent down and sat on the side of the bed, looking at Liu Hong, who had sunken eye sockets and was obviously in a serious condition, and said: "Your Majesty, you still need to take good care of your health. Your Majesty is still young. If you don't have your Majesty to protect her from the wind,
If it rains, what will happen to us orphans and widowed mothers in this palace!"
Liu Hong just looked at Queen He, and after a while he sighed slightly, waved his hand and said: "Queen, please step aside. I am tired and want to be quiet!"
Queen He covered the quilt next to Liu Hong, glanced at Liu Hong and said: "I will leave first. Your Majesty, take care of your dragon body. When your Majesty is better, I will come to see your Majesty."
Zhang Rang and Zhao Zhong stood aside with their heads lowered, not daring to look up at Liu Hong.
Liu Hong suddenly turned to Zhang Rang and Zhao Zhong and said: "You bastards, drag out all the chamberlains and maids in my palace and kill them with sticks. How can anyone, except you, know about the worsening of my condition?"
Let the queen and uncle know?"
It turns out that Liu Hong's condition suddenly worsened not long ago. Liu Hong had ordered it to be kept secret. However, not long after, the queen came to inquire under the guise of a visit. After all, Liu Hong had been the emperor for more than ten years.
, if he still didn’t understand that someone around him was being bribed, then he wouldn’t have been able to secure the throne for so many years.
Zhang Rang and Zhao Zhong looked at each other and hurriedly said to Liu Hong: "Don't worry, Your Majesty, we will clean your Majesty's palace from top to bottom, and we will not let anyone go."
After dealing with the He family, Liu Hong consumed a lot of energy. He was lying there looking quite sluggish. Suddenly he opened his eyes, and a bright light flashed in his eyes: "Let me tell you, Jian Shuo, where are the soldiers and horses?"
How's the training going?"
When it comes to Liu Hong's situation, as an emperor, he is naturally the most insecure in his heart. Throughout the ages, how many emperors have lost their power and ultimately lost their thrones because they could not afford to sleep.
In particular, Liu Hong was wary of General He Jin and all the ministers in the court, so he established the Eighth School of Xiyuan because he wanted to have an army that was completely obedient to his orders. Otherwise, even if
Even though he was in the capital, he still had no sense of security in his heart.
Now that his condition suddenly worsened, Queen He's visit naturally deeply irritated Liu Hong, and the insecurity in his heart suddenly amplified many times.
Zhang Rang coughed lightly, bowed slightly and said to Liu Hong: "Back to your majesty, a few days ago, Jian Shuo entered the palace. He once said that except for him and Chu Yi's men in the Eighth School of Xiyuan, all the men and horses in the other schools were ready.
But now Chu Yi and his men and horses have almost been recruited, and I think we should be able to recruit them all this month."
Liu Hong frowned slightly, as if he wanted to get angry, but thinking about how much Jian Shuo and Chu Yi were squeezed out both inside and outside the court, especially since almost half of the Eighth School of Xiyuan fell into the hands of He Jin, what could he really do for Chu?
What Yi and Jian Shuo controlled were actually the thousands of troops under their command.
Under this situation, although Chu Yi and Jian Shuo said that their recruitment of troops was slower, at least they still controlled thousands of troops, which was already quite difficult.
It can be said that Liu Hong witnessed the strength of his relatives and the strength of the scholars of the world's aristocratic families throughout his life. In order to fight against his relatives and the world's aristocratic families, Liu Hong did not hesitate to sell his official position and get a title. However, the Yellow Turban Rebellion broke out, which suddenly dispersed the last bit of vitality of the Han Dynasty.
Regarding his physical condition, Liu Hong knows better than anyone else. It can be said that he has reached the point of terminal illness. Even if he has the best conditions in the world, he may not be able to survive until next year at most.
In other words, there is not much time left for Liu Hong, and what Liu Hong is most worried about is how the great Han Dynasty will be passed down once he dies.
Liu Hong had Prince Bian and two princes under him. Prince Bian was born to Queen He, and his uncle was General He Jin. Once Prince Bian succeeded to the throne, He Jin's power as a relative would directly reach its peak, that is,
It is not impossible to repeat Wang Mang's incident. Therefore, Liu Hong is not happy with the prince's proposal, so Liu Hong has always wanted to establish the prince's agreement, which was born to Wang Meiren.
Prince Xie was very pleased with Liu Hong, and he wanted to make Prince Xie the crown prince several times, but was unable to do so because He Jin was too powerful in the court.
However, Liu Hong's idea of making Liu Xie the prince has never been cut off, and it has even taken root in his heart. In order to protect Liu Xie, Liu Hong did not hesitate to establish the Eighth School of Xiyuan in addition to the five schools of the Beijun Army. It is precisely because of the Beijun
The Fifth Military Academy has fallen into the hands of General He Jin and his family. It is simply a dream to expect the Northern Army's Fifth Academy to support Liu Xie's ascension to the throne.
The Eighth School of Xiyuan was Liu Hong's biggest support in making Liu Xie the crown prince. Although the Eighth School of Xiyuan was also intervened by He Jin and the famous family, Jian Shuo and Chu Yi did not disappoint him and succeeded.
Controlling almost half of the people of the Eighth School of Xiyuan, plus Cao Cao, whose attitude is somewhat ambiguous, the Eighth School of Xiyuan is still under control.
After a violent cough, Liu Hong managed to regain his breath, looked at Zhao Zhong and said, "Summon Chu Yi and Jian Shuo to come see me."
The emperor here felt a sense of urgency because of Queen He's visit, and wanted to summon Chu Yi and Jian Shuo. However, Queen He left the emperor's palace and returned to her residence.
In the Phoenix Palace where the Queen lives, a burly body stood there, giving people a great sense of oppression. The chubby He Jin heard the footsteps and turned around. When he saw his sister approaching
A bright light flashed in his eyes, and he took a few steps forward and said to Queen He: "Queen, have you seen Your Majesty? How is Your Majesty's dragon body?..."
He Jin naturally couldn't be more concerned about Liu Hong's physical condition. If Liu Hong said no, it would be gone. It would be fine if he got the news in advance. If he didn't get the news, wouldn't it be very dangerous?
Anyone with a discerning eye can see that Liu Hong wants to make Liu Xie the crown prince. Once Liu Xie ascends the throne, their family, including the prince, will probably not end well.
Glancing at her brother, He said: "Your Majesty's condition is getting more serious, but looking at the situation, even if you persist for a while, there will be no problem."
He Jin learned about Liu Hong's physical condition from Queen He. He felt relieved and smiled at Queen He: "Sister, please remember one thing. You must keep an eye on Your Majesty. It affects whether your nephew can become the future emperor."
, I think the girl will not be careless."
Upon hearing that it was directly related to whether her son could become the emperor, Queen He naturally became more energetic. She looked at He Jin and said: "Brother, whether my son can become the next emperor of the Han Dynasty depends on whether your uncle can help him."
It’s a helping hand.”
He Jin laughed loudly and said: "Don't worry, sister, brother Wei is here and I will definitely let Bian'er ascend to the throne of God. Whether my He family can prosper or not, everything depends on Bian'er."
Her face was filled with joy. Thinking that she could be honored as the Queen Mother in the future, He's heart filled with infinite expectations: "You are my uncle Bian'er. The He family and Bian'er will both be prosperous and suffer.
When Ben'er ascends the throne, I will naturally not treat my brother and the He family badly."
But soon, He seemed to have thought of something, and said with a bit of worry on his face: "Brother, Your Majesty established the Eighth School of Xiyuan and handed it over to the commander of Jian Shuo. Jian Shuo has always been close to the Prince Association.
I'm afraid..."
He Jin raised his brows and said with a confident look: "What can Jian Shuo and Chu Yi achieve as mere eunuchs? Not to mention that Brother Wei has already sent people to control almost half of the people in the Eighth School of Xiyuan. Even if they are generals,
So what if the entire Eighth School of Xiyuan is handed over to those two eunuchs? Is it possible that they can really train elite soldiers and strong generals? Do you really think that the Fifth School of the Northern Army is a clay statue?"
He Jin, who had already taken control of the fifth school of the Northern Army, looked full of disdain for the eighth school of Xiyuan, and did not take it to heart at all when he mentioned Jian Shuo and Chu Yilai.
Queen He breathed a sigh of relief after hearing this, but still reminded He Jin: "Brother, it is better to be cautious. If something goes wrong, our He family will probably fall from the fairy world into the netherworld."
Stroking his beard, a cold light flashed in He Jin's eyes and he said: "My brother has united with Yuan Huai and other three ministers to force your majesty to agree to inspect the eight schools of Xiyuan next month. By then, Chu Yi and Jian Shuo will
The true colors will inevitably be exposed, even with His Majesty's support, in front of all the civil and military officials, I have many ways to kill the two of them without a burial place."
Seeing that He Jin was so confident, Queen He breathed a sigh of relief and said: "Brother, you must be careful. It is best to directly seize the military power of Chu Yi and Jian Shuo."
He Jin sneered: "I not only want to take away their military power, but also their lives."
"A sneeze!"
Chu Yi, who was in the military camp, sneezed inexplicably and glanced at the thousands of soldiers below who were undergoing daily military drills under the training of Xu Huang, Yan Xing and others.
If Yuan Shao and Cao Cao saw Chu Yi's military training method, they would probably be very surprised. In fact, it is the training method Chu Yi implemented in the army. It is more of a combination of the Ming Dynasty and the Song Dynasty.
It is based on the actual situation of the Han Dynasty.
According to what Yuan Shao, Chun Yuqiong and others said, in the Han Dynasty, the generals who can really master the methods of training and commanding troops are nine out of ten from wealthy families. As for Chu Yi and Jian Shuo, if they can train troops, then
That's the weird thing.
Wealthy families control knowledge, culture, wealth and power. This is the real situation of the Han Dynasty. That's why Yuan Shao and Chun Yuqiong are so confident in Chu Yi. Jian Shuo and others don't know how to train troops, and they have never worried about Chu Yi.
What kind of movement could Jian Shuo and his two men make?
Perhaps this applies to Jian Shuo and Zhang Rang Shi Changshi has no problems at all, but Chu Yi is an exception.
I think Chu Yi had experience in commanding hundreds of thousands of armies in the Ming Dynasty. Coupled with the experience in the Song Dynasty, even if Chu Yi could not command and train troops at the beginning, after being tempered by the Ming Dynasty and the Song Dynasty, if Chu Yi could
If he hadn't made any progress, his bones would have been cold by now.
It can be said that Xu Huang, Lu Bu, Yan Xing and others all came from poor families. It can be said that they are what they are today because of their innate talents. Naturally, they are not considered to be great soldiers.
So when they trained their troops according to Chu Yi's military training method, they were shocked to discover that Chu Yi's military training method was so powerful, it was simply beyond their imagination.
Even if they don't understand the method of military training, they have seen some generals training troops, haven't they? Compared with this, the method of military training Chu Yi used is naturally much stronger.
Could it be said that Chu Yi's method of training soldiers came from within the palace?
Naturally, Lu Bu and others regarded the military training method Chu Yi presented as a military training method collected in the palace. As for the fact that this military training method was actually created by Chu Yi based on his own experience, they first did not believe it.
Chu Yi didn't expect that a few people would believe him in a short time. He just needed a few people to help him train soldiers well. As for whether he invented the method of training soldiers, the truth would be revealed sooner or later, right?
Huang Zhong stood next to Chu Yi, looking away from the uniform troops below, his eyes full of admiration and said: "The military training method used by Mr. Xiaowei is the only one that Huang has ever seen in his life, and he has trained elite soldiers."
A strong general only needs to go to the battlefield and see blood to become an elite. Even if the general who leads the army is strong enough, the possibility of gathering the soul of the army is extremely high."
Chu Yi smiled slightly and looked at the school field in the distance, where Yuan Shao, Cao Cao, Chun Yuqiong and others were stationed. He heard Chu Yi chuckle and said: "I heard that the soldiers and horses under Yuan Shao actually condensed the soul of the army.
, became a military soul army?"
Huang Zhong looked straight and said: "Come back to the school captain, if the news is correct, it is said that Yuan Xiaowei has obtained two fierce generals. Those two fierce generals have won the recognition of the soldiers of the first school by virtue of their absolute strength. They gathered together by chance.
With the military spirit, it can be said to be the most powerful school among the eight schools in Xiyuan."
With a raised brow, Chu Yi looked at Huang Zhong and said, "Han Sheng, if you were to face those two so-called peerless generals, how confident would you be?"
A look of confidence flashed in Huang Zhong's eyes, and he smiled slightly and said: "Unless those two are like Lu Dianchang, otherwise, even with the blessing of the military soul army, Huang is sure to defeat the other party."
From Chu Yi's mouth, Huang Zhong learned that his cultivation level was considered to be one of the few in the Han Dynasty. Even on the face of it, there were not many people in the world who were as strong as him. That's why Huang Zhong was so confident.
Chu Yi was moved in his heart and asked: "Have you ever found out the names of the two so-called peerless generals recruited by Yuan Shao?"
Huang Zhongdao: "It is said that they are from Hebei, Yan Liang and Wen Chou."
Chu Yi nodded slightly. Sure enough, these two people could be regarded as the most powerful generals under Yuan Shao's command. Apart from these two people, Chu Yi really couldn't think of any other possibilities. After all, during this period, Yuan Shao was still very powerful.
With the ability, otherwise, it would be impossible to steadily suppress Cao Cao and become
Chu Yi nodded slightly. Sure enough, these two people could be regarded as the most powerful generals under Yuan Shao's command. Apart from these two people, Chu Yi really couldn't think of any other possibilities. After all, during this period, Yuan Shao was still very powerful.
If you have the ability, otherwise it would be impossible to steadily suppress Cao Cao. Become a suppressor of Cao Cao.
