Xuande

Chapter 412 Zhang Rang Chooses to Watch
With the help of Yuan Shi, He Jindong held a meeting with some capable qi warlocks in his house, and asked them to find a reasonable reason for him to summon soldiers from all directions to Luoyang to strengthen his power.

And it must have a relationship with Chenwei, and it must not show too obvious signs such as "the general wants to compete with the emperor for power and profit".

That's the best way to go.

To be honest, this requirement is actually very difficult and harsh, but since ancient times, there have been such "imperial literati". The so-called learning of literary and martial arts comes from the emperor's family, and the skills learned are not useful at this time. How about giving you a salary?
So He Jin's hopeful magicians gave full play to the spirit of Yugong Yishan, read ancient books everywhere, consulted the successful cases left by the predecessors, brainstormed every day, [-] is not a problem, just want to solve it as soon as possible General's needs.

Finally, with their unremitting efforts, they finally planned a perfect counterattack plan for He Jin.

The astronomical magicians will put forward a result of astronomical observations, that is, the stars that symbolize the imperial palace and the royal family are more dangerous in the astronomical phenomena, emitting strange lights, and showing signs of being collided. It is a bad omen.

Of course, this is not something that cannot be dealt with, there are solutions for all this.

The ancient book that serves as an endorsement is called "Six Secret Teachings", which is rumored to be written by Jiang Ziya. There is a saying in "Six Secret Teachings" that "there is an emperor's military affairs, which can coerce the Quartet", so it is necessary for the emperor to command the soldiers from all directions to perform martial arts. In this way, It will be able to respond to the celestial phenomena and turn bad luck into good luck.

As long as He Jin mentions this statement to Liu Hong, Liu Hong will have nothing to say, then He Jin can openly recruit soldiers from all directions to Luoyang to support him and become his reliance.

In the future, as long as you think of other ways to blacken this army, you can create established facts.

Didn't Liu Hong want to limit He Jin's military power?
I'll get another army, let's see how you restrict me!
But in fact, this statement is quite reluctant.

There is only one sentence related to it in Liutao's chapters [Wu Wang said: "I want to make the three armies kiss their generals like parents. I am angry when I hear the sound of gold, and I am happy when I hear the sound of drums. What can I do?"], which is the same as The statements made by the qi warlocks under He Jin's command cannot be said to be exactly the same, but they are far from each other.

But it doesn't matter, that's what he wants. Anyway, Liu Hong hasn't studied "Six Secret Teachings" in depth, and he doesn't understand divination and hope.

Under the deterrence of the unknown theory of prophecy, Liu Hong also suffered from being uneducated.

In order to realize this plan, in addition to building public opinion in Luoyang City, the cooperation of Taishi Ling, who is responsible for "watching Qi" and reporting astronomical phenomena to the emperor, is also needed in the palace.

Only when Tai Shiling said the same, Liu Hong would have the greatest chance of not obstructing He Jin's actions, and even foolishly cooperating with He Jin, jumping into the pit by himself.

Coincidentally, although the current Taishi Ling is not an old official of the Yuan family, he has a good friend who is an old official of the Yuan family.

So Yuan Kui cooperated with He Jin and mobilized the relationship of Yuan's old officials to lobby against Taishiling, promising to exchange for Taishiling's cooperation with certain political guarantees.

So everything was ready and the show began.

There was a change in the sky, there would be chaos in Luoyang City, and rumors of bloodshed in the two palaces began to spread, and soon entered the palace through some less conspicuous channels.

Upon hearing this, Liu Hong was deeply disturbed by these mysterious and mysterious statements, and summoned Tai Shiling overnight to inquire about related matters.

And Tai Shiling's answer made him feel even more uneasy.

"Although it is slightly different from the rumors, the celestial phenomena observed by the minister also have faint signs that are unfavorable to the two palaces. I am worried about this! Please make a decision early, Your Majesty!"

After Tai Shiling said this, Liu Hong became even more disturbed.

At this moment, Liu Hong still has the hope of making a comeback.

Because neither the Yuan family nor the He family expected that all their plots would be discovered by the East Garden secret agents controlled by Zhang Rang.

The news that someone was spreading rumors in private and causing trouble was detected by Dongyuan's spies. Zhang Rang thought of the current situation in the capital, and immediately knew that it was He Jin and Yuan Kai who were playing tricks.

Later, Zhang Rang witnessed the conversation between Liu Hong and Tai Shiling through his own convenient identity, and knew that Tai Shiling had a ghost, and it was very likely that he had been bribed.

He continued to dig into the background of this Taishiling, and easily learned that he had a close relationship with an old official of the Yuan family recently.

Well, Yuan Kai's plan has been found out by Zhang Rang.

As long as he tells Liu Hong these things, the plan of Yuan Wei and He Jin will fail, and Liu Hong will not allow He Jin and Yuan Wei to do this, and may even attack He Jin and Yuan Wei in advance, clean them up, and give them nice.

But Zhang Rang didn't do that.

the reason is simple.

Xiyuanjun has nothing to do with him.

He wanted to put someone he trusted in the West Garden Army as the commander of the school lieutenant to increase his personal military strength and ensure his personal safety, but this proposal was rejected by Liu Hong.

Among the ten permanent attendants, Liu Hong did not choose any one of them. Instead, he chose Jian Shuo, who only served as the Xiaohuangmen, as the commander of the West Garden Army, and then selected people who were related to the eunuch group as the school lieutenants. He is closely related to the current ten permanent attendants.

In short, Liu Hong excluded the current ten permanent servants from the control sequence of the West Garden Army, ensuring his own absolute control over the West Garden Army, which made the ten permanent servants feel puzzled, panicked and strongly dissatisfied.

They didn't know why Liu Hong did this, and they didn't know when there was such a huge crisis of trust between them and Liu Hong.

After losing He Jin, the eunuchs felt a strong sense of security crisis, and they urgently needed military power to ensure their sense of security and give them some security.

But Liu Hong rejected their request and didn't let them intervene in the new army of the West Garden. He prevaricated them by saying that the soldiers of the Son of Heaven would definitely protect the palace people and that the eunuchs were the objects of protection of the Army of the West Garden, so there was no need to worry.

Obviously, the establishment and formation of the Xiyuan Army could not be separated from the help of Shi Changshi, but the final victory was swallowed by Liu Hong and Jian Shuo.

Shi Changshi didn't even know when Jian Shuo suddenly emerged and gained Liu Hong's trust.

Under such circumstances, Zhang Rang felt a deep sense of crisis and dissatisfaction with Liu Hong, so he did not tell Liu Hong the news.

Without a source of information, Liu Hong had no way of knowing Yuan and He's plans, and thus fell into deep anxiety.

The theory of prophecy helped Liu Xiu to stabilize the world, and also swept the hearts of people all over the world. At the same time, it also planted the seeds of unpredictability in the hearts of people all over the world.

But the forces of things are mutual. While the ruled are affected, the ruler who thinks he is smart is also affected unconsciously and infected by this reaction.

They also dare not doubt and play with the theory of prophecy and weft at will.

Liu Hong thought about it over and over again, and felt that he still needs to pay attention to this matter. If the operation is not good, it will really cause some disaster, and he will be the one who is unlucky.

When Liu Hong felt strongly disturbed by this, He entered the palace to meet Liu Hong, mentioned this matter to Liu Hong, and gave his own solution.

"Your Majesty can summon soldiers from all directions to Luoyang for inspection by His Majesty. I have heard that the ancients said that the emperor's military affairs can intimidate all directions. If Your Majesty agrees, I will send troops from all directions to Luoyang. Your Majesty will personally review the troops!"

Liu Hong felt that this matter was rather serious, so he didn't give an accurate answer for a while, so he went to Tai Shiling to inquire about it, and then got a clearer answer from Tai Shiling.

According to the experience of the ancients, the emperor's soldiers can indeed deter disobedience, and according to the situation shown by the sky, only the sharp "soldier spirit" can dispel the unfavorable sky of the two palaces.

Liu Hong was stunned for a moment, thinking about it, and had no choice but to agree to He Jin.

So Liu Hong issued an edict to allow He Jin to select soldiers from all directions to come to Luoyang to be inspected by the emperor, and to perform martial arts to respond to the celestial phenomena and frighten the world's disobedient officials.

After He Jin got the news, he was overjoyed, and immediately dispatched the officials who had prepared long ago, and asked them to go to the four directions to order the deployment of troops. At the same time, he told the important local military and political chiefs about the secret mission of entering Beijing this time, and won their support. , in order to deter Liu Xie.

Dong Zhuo's side is easy to deal with, and Yuan Wei can get it done with a letter.

Dong Zhuo didn't know much about the affairs in Luoyang City, and his tenure in Bingzhou was not good, and there was a shortage of manpower around him, so he chose Zhang Liao and Zhang Yang, the subordinate officials he had summoned after he came to Bingzhou, to take him with him. An army went to Luoyang to receive a military parade.

In Youzhou, Yuan Wei also came forward and got some troops through the channels of Yuan's old officials.

Jizhou is also easy to do. Han Fu, the governor of Jizhou, is an old official of the Yuan family. After being explained by Yuan Kai, he sent an army without hindrance.

Liu Biao's task is relatively heavy.

Before leaving, He Jin explained to Liu Biao, telling Liu Biao that his task this time was very difficult, and he needed to get the approval of the two clan and state shepherds, and try to persuade them to stand on the side of the Prince Bian instead of on the side of the Prince Association.

Liu Biao himself did not approve of He Jin, but the Prince Bian behind him.

Liu Hong did such a big thing in Luoyang, and he knew that he was going to abolish the elders and establish the younger ones. As the clan, Liu Biao entered He Jin's General's Mansion a few years ago, so he was certainly not happy with Liu Hong's choice.

He is still waiting to lie down and win with He Jin.

As a result, Liu Hong didn't know what was going on, but he actually wanted to abolish the elders and establish the younger ones, and abolished all his early political investment. Can this be tolerated?

Liu Biao was already a member of the general, and had a close relationship with He Jin. Basically, he was on Liu Bian's side. For his own benefit and for the stability of the inheritance of the Han Empire, Liu Biao decided to cooperate with He Jin.
