Chapter 126

After Jian Shuo returned to the palace, the more he thought about Lin Chao's words, the more reasonable he felt, and at the same time, the more he felt the danger.

Alas, it's a pity that the man refused to talk too much, and what he meant was that he had to wait until he was cornered to find him before giving him a solution.

What a lunatic up for grabs!
When he was engrossed in his thoughts, Jian Shuo almost didn't notice the steps under his feet. If it wasn't for Zuo Feng's quick eyes and quick hands, he almost tripped over.

"Hey, Mr. Jian, what's the matter? Why are you so focused on your thoughts, or is it because you have too much money recently that you can't even go up the steps!"

A high-pitched voice came from behind, it was Zhongchang servant Zhao Zhong.

Today in the court hall, Zhao Zhong and Lu Zhi faced each other and won an overwhelming victory. Naturally, they were in a good mood.Seeing that Jian Shuo almost fell down, he naturally came up to make fun of him.

He and Jian Shuo have known each other for many years, and they have a very good relationship. They help each other in the palace and make fun of each other for a long time.

Jian Shuo didn't care about this, instead he ordered Zuo Feng to take out a piece of horseshoe gold from Lin Chao and hand it to Zhao Zhong.

When Zuo Feng heard this, his face was full of pain, but he didn't dare to disobey his uncle, so he took out a small one and handed it over.

"Hey, our family is really right, Mr. Jian is really overwhelmed by money!"

Zhao Zhong took the horseshoe gold, his brows and eyes were full of unconcealable joy.

"So, our family would like to thank Mr. Jian for the reward!"

As he said that, he also wanted Jian Shuo to salute to express his gratitude.

"Okay, Mr. Zhao, it's just a piece of gold, what do you want?"

Seeing Zhao Zhong's exaggerated performance, Jian Shuo couldn't help but sneer.

"As for it, of course it is!" Zhao Zhong said seriously, "Mr. Jian, how can you not know the benefits of this money!"

"We are hopeless people! Only by getting more money can we make His Majesty happy. If Your Majesty is happy, we will have more money. When we are old and cannot move, we will leave the palace. , but we are all living on these money. After all, after death, it is right to count on these money to help us bury our ancestral graves."

Zhao Zhong said these words with a smile, but Jian Shuo couldn't hear anything ridiculous, but felt full of sadness.

Eunuchs have no one under their knees, and their evening scenes have always been bleak.If you are lucky enough to escape court battles, and when you are old enough to leave the palace, often because of your bad reputation, even if you die, your family may not let you be buried in the ancestral grave, and you often have to bribe the elders of the clan with money to return to your roots .

So money is not only a magic weapon for them to survive in the palace, but also a guarantee for their affairs after death.

Compared with the intrigue among the gentry, the eunuchs in these palaces are more united, often one person gets the benefit, and the rest are not forgotten.

This can be seen from the fact that Jian Shuo distributed the horseshoe gold to Zhao Zhong.

"Mr. Zhao, there is no need to say such uncomfortable words."

Jian Shuo persuaded.

"That's right. Today, our family gave that old Lu Zhi a hard time in the courtroom. It's really a pleasure! If Cao Mengde hadn't spoken out to help, our family would definitely have Lu Zhi thrown into prison this time. How dare you fight with him?" It’s too long for our family to fight against each other.”

"Mr. Jian, let's go, we are the hosts today, let's go have a drink!"

As soon as he heard the words Cao Mengde, Jian Shuo couldn't help thinking of Lin Chao's words.

In Lin Chao's words, this Cao Cao is like a sharp knife of the family, specially designed to deal with people like them.

But what Cao Cao did today coincides with what Lin Chao said.This made Jian Shuo even more worried.

"Okay, let's call Mr. Zhang together. Our family has some things to discuss with you."

Among the dozen or so regular attendants, Zhao Zhong was good at currying favor with the emperor, Jian Shuo was in charge of the palace guards, and the leader was Zhang Rang, who was the best at drilling.On weekdays, everyone is led by Zhang Rang, and they will tell Zhang Rang as soon as they encounter something, and ask him to make up his mind.

"Okay, our family will send someone to invite Mr. Zhang."

The two returned to Zhao Zhong's residence together, and after a while, Zhang Rang also arrived.

During the dinner, Jian Shuo told them what Lin Chao had said.

Zhang Rang thought for a moment, and thought that what Lin Chao said was reasonable, but felt that it was too alarmist, so he ignored it for now.

What they didn't know was that while they were eating and drinking, a conspiracy had already begun when General He entered the mansion.

Those who participated in this conspiracy were headed by the great general of the dynasty, He Jin, and Yuan Shao, who was nominally the servant of the Huangmen, Yuan Shu, the general of the Huben Zhonglang, Cao Cao, the servant of the Huangmen, Xun You, the servant of the Huangmen, Zheng Tai, the servant of the Shangshu, Zhong Yi and others. .

Of course, there is also Lin Chao who is white.

Except for Lin Chao, the others are He Jin's confidantes, so it can be said that they are the whole team.

As for why Lin Chao was invited here, he himself didn't know, so he was still in a daze at this moment.

However, in He Jin's mind, Liu Bei was a powerful general with a large army in his hands, and he wanted to take refuge in him, so he naturally wanted to win over him, so he sent someone to invite Lin Chao over.

"Everyone is invited to come here today to discuss the use of troops against Xihe and Hedong. This is the report from Bingzhou. You all should read it."

He Jin sat on the main seat with a serious face, and passed the battle report in his hand to everyone for circulation.

Yuan Shao was the first to receive the report. After reading it, he looked slightly startled, and then handed it to Cao Cao.

Seeing this scene, a trace of hatred flashed in Yuan Shu's eyes, and then he took the memorial from Cao Cao.

Everyone circulated it all the way, and finally Lin Chao took it from Xun You.

The above content of the report is about the rebellion of the Xiutu Department.

At this time, the Xiutu tribe had already invaded Taiyuan County from Xihe County, not to mention killing Zhang Yi, the governor of Bingzhou, and united with the Southern Xiongnu tribe who had already surrendered, and launched a great turmoil that could sweep half of Bingzhou.

Good guy, the action of the Xiutu Department is too fast. It is only the beginning of March, and the report will arrive in Luoyang. I think that by the end of February, Zhang Yi, the governor of Bingzhou, may have died.

If the rebellion in the first month was a small matter, then it has to be taken seriously now.

"General, the Xiutu Department has already become powerful. If you just sit back and ignore it, it will soon bring disaster to the capital. This time, the imperial court will definitely send troops to fight against it, so as to correct my mighty man Tianwei!"

Cao Cao spoke first.

At this time, Cao Cao was still dreaming of his dream of being a general who conquered the West, hoping to lead the army to power and help the big man.

"What Meng De said is reasonable, and it is imperative to send troops to conquer."

Yuan Shao first affirmed Cao Cao's statement, and then changed the subject: "But this matter may not be beneficial to the general."

Hearing what Yuan Shao said, Yuan Shu immediately sneered and said, "Benefits? The general is in charge of the world's military affairs, and a rebellion will only damage the reputation of the general. What's the benefit? I really don't know what it means!"

Yuan Shao couldn't help frowning and said, "Don't be impatient on the highway, I haven't finished talking yet!"

"Your Majesty handed over the rebellion of the Xiutu tribe to the general to deal with it a few days ago." Yuan Shao continued, "In other words, the general can use this to transfer a general to quell the rebellion of the Xiutu tribe, and at the same time to suppress the rebellion of the Xiutu tribe." Take the opportunity to command troops."

Although He Jin is a great general and has the right to run the government, almost all the Yulin army and imperial guards in Luoyang are in the hands of Jian Shuo.And what He Jin controlled was only the troops around Luoyang, and the number of them was not very large.

Yuan Shao's words also touched He Jin's heart.How can he feel at ease when he has no soldiers in his hands.

"It sounds good, where do you send troops? Where do you get the funds for sending troops?" Yuan Shu retorted, "Without money and food, even if you send troops, you can't fight on an empty stomach!"
