Chapter 231 Two-pronged approach
Chapter 231 Two-pronged approach
The second year of Zhongping (185) was destined to be a troublesome autumn. The Han Emperor's severance had just subsided and the military power of the General Huangfu Jian of Zhenxi had just subsided, and another shocking news broke out.
The court actually sent people to assassinate General Huangfu Jian, the general of Zhenxi, to Zhizhenxi, and was seriously injured and bedridden. The court treated General Zhenxi, the general Huangfu Jian, in this extreme way, in fact, was not ashamed of the world.
As soon as the incident occurred, the whole country was in an uproar.
The Han Dynasty governed the country with etiquette, and the court's etiquette system actually fell to this point. The people in the world were indignant and the scholars were shocked.
This is just the beginning...
On January 16, General Zhenxi issued a declaration on the assassination of Huangfu Jian. His attitude was extremely tough and he vowed to ask the court for an explanation, even taking advantage of the war.
On January 17, Jia Xu, the left military advisor of Zhenxi Army, led three cavalry of Long, Tiger and Leopard, and a total of 15,000 elite cavalry, and their troops came out of Guanzhong and advanced towards Yecheng. He took practical actions to ask for explanations for Zhenxi Army and asked the court to return the justice of the general Zhenxi Army.
On January 18, General Huangfu Jian of Zhenxiong ordered Ma Teng, the commander of the Beastwatch Camp, and Yan Xing, deputy commander, to lead 25,000 troops of the Beastwatch Camp, to leave Lantian Camp, pass Wuguan Road, and take Xiangyang, the important town of Jingzhou.
If the army in Zhenxi does not move, it will be shocked.
The news that the army troops in Zhenxi went out to Yecheng soon reached Yecheng, and reached General He Jin, Grand Tutor Yuan Wei, and Zong Zheng Liu Yan. The three men were shocked and sweated in cold sweat. They immediately summoned the ministers in the court to discuss and invited Emperor Liu Hong, who had not been to court for a long time, to the main hall. They knew that such a big thing could no longer be suppressed, so they had to carry Emperor Ling of Han again.
Although the newly built Taihe Hall in Yecheng is not as magnificent as the Luoyang Palace, it is considered to be a huge scale and covers a wide area. At this time, the ministers in the hall were unable to sit and stand, and they whispered from time to time and talked a lot.
Emperor Ling of Han sat on the newly built giant dragon cavalry, looking at the ministers in the hall, his eyes slightly closed, and he didn't know what he was thinking.
"Report to Your Majesty, I have this report!" Everyone was waiting, and General He Jin couldn't help it. The entire assassination was handled by him. He was afraid that Huangfu Jian would take revenge! He knew that Huangfu Jian's bloody means would have to bear the attack of the poisonous snake if he could not die. This consequence was something he could not afford.
"What is the general's memorial?" Emperor Ling of Han opened his eyes slightly and said lonely.
"General Huangfu Jian, the general in Zhenxi, had no king's law and no lord's law, and sent troops privately. He rushed to Yecheng and attacked Xiangyang, an important town in Jingzhou. He also asked His Majesty to judge him." He Jin said with a righteous face and said with a full voice of the king's law.
"There is such a thing. General Zhenxi is an important official of the country. Why did he do such a disobedient thing?" Although Emperor Ling of Han heard of Huangfu Jian's assassination, he still didn't know that the matter had reached such a level. He was shocked, and there was even more fear on his pale face, looking at He Jin in a stalemate.
"I heard that Wang Yue, the commander of escorting the gifts given by the emperor, assassinated General Zhenxi. General Zhenxi did this in anger." The assassination of Huangfu Jian is now known to everyone in the world, and He Jin could not hide it, so he simply said it. Anyway, Wang Yue died, and there was no evidence of death, and no one could prove that it was his commander.
"Who gives you such a courage, even the important officials of the court dare to assassinate them!" Emperor Ling of Han shouted coldly.
No matter how stupid he was, he understood what happened. These people were so brave that they sent someone to assassinate Huangfu Jian in private, but they had not succeeded yet. Now Huangfu Jian is in charge of his army and is now asking for punishment.
"Your Majesty has this memorial!" Just when He Jin couldn't stand it, Zong Zheng Liu Yan stood up.
"What's the comment about me?" Emperor Ling of Han coughed lightly and asked lightly.
Zongzheng Liu Yan held the power of the royal family, and even Emperor Ling of Han was a little afraid.
"Your Majesty, General Huangfu Jian of the West, is proud of his merits and is arrogant. Not only does he not obey the order, he also privately detains the angel ministers, asking His Majesty to punish him for his crimes, reduce his military power, and demote him to common people to correct the law of the king." Liu Yan made a generous statement in the hall.
Liu Yan was even more cruel. At this time, he was thinking about putting Huangfu Jian to death. However, he didn't understand Huangfu Jian at all. He thought that Huangfu Jian was the kind of person who would surrender with an imperial edict, so he was destined to fail.
After Zhang Rang's statement, Emperor Ling of Han already knew the consequences of coercing Huangfu Jian, so he would not have been able to get Liu Yan's plan.
His tiny eyes narrowed into a thread and shouted in a deep voice: "I'm asking you, who is so brave to assassinate my humeral minister and the general of the imperial court."
"I want to ask you all the civil and military officials of the court who resisted the invasion of the Xianbei army and who wiped out the Yellow Turban Army? Now that the country has just settled, you want to frame the meritorious ministers. What are your intentions? Is this the emperor or you in the world! You can all make the decision for me now, okay! Why are you calling me out now?"
Emperor Ling of Han became more and more arrogant as he spoke, and more and more powerful as he spoke. It has been a long time since he felt comfortable like this, and even his complexion has improved a lot.
Seeing Emperor Ling of Han get angry, the civil and military officials in the court are silent. No matter how useless the emperor is, he is still the boss in this hall, and he has the final say! What's more, Emperor Ling of Han has been emperor for many years, and the imperial aura on his body still makes the ministers breathless.
"Your Majesty calms down! Now is not the time to hold anyone responsible, but to stop the Zhenxi Army. The Yellow Turban Rebellion has just been quelled and the country needs stability. It is really not appropriate to have another war at this time!"
The matter of the Grand Marshal Yang Ci became more and more serious, and he had to go out and say.
"What are your good plans?" Liu Hong felt better after cursing for a while and asked.
"I suggest sending a minister to the Zhenxi Army camp to discuss the matter and settle the dispute. By the way, we can also find out what the Zhenxi Army wants." Yang Ci replied. In his opinion, Huangfu Jian simply wanted some rewards, so he gave them to him. Anyway, he has great power now, and no matter how big the reward is, it is just a false reputation.
"Who is willing to go to Zhenxi Army camp?" Emperor Ling of Han heard that it was reasonable. No matter what, the world is still his. If Zhenxi Army really attacks Yecheng, what should we do?
But Emperor Ling of Han asked for a long time, but no one spoke. Who dared? Even Guanglu Doctor Ma Riyi was detained by the Zhenxi Army. It is said that they are still in prison, so they don’t want to be the second Ma Riyi.
For a moment, no one spoke out in the civil and military affairs of the court.
"Isn't there anyone available to me, a great man?" Emperor Ling of Han looked pale and sighed to the sky.
"I am willing to go on an envoy to seize the Western Army!" As soon as Emperor Ling of Han finished speaking, Yang Ci stood up and replied loudly.
"I have a prison minister!"
Emperor Ling of Han glared at He Jin and others fiercely, his expression slightly calmed down, and he said to Yang Ci with gratitude.
"I will definitely live up to my mission!" Yang Ci received the order and retreated.
