I will be the master of Xuande

Chapter 114
At the same time, the rebellion in the palace was extinguished by the Yueqi battalion headed by Xu Rong and Gao Shun. By the way, people accurately capture.

At the same time, the traitors hidden among the eunuchs and the Imperial Army were also implicated and uprooted by Habayashiro, a confidant of the Guangluxun faction, and the Taiping Taoists who usually hid in the deep palace appeared one after another tonight.

Now that it has taken the lead, there is no way out, either it will happen, or it will end up being uprooted.

As the Sima of Yueqi Battalion, Xu Rong showed his excellent talent in front of battle at this time. Because he cooperated with Liu Kuan to suppress the rebellion in the palace quickly and the spread was very small, Liu Hong specially praised Xu Rong.

On the contrary, it was Liu Jian who made too much noise at the Pingcheng Gate, and the matter was known to all the officials and gentry in Luoyang City day and night.

After capturing Ma Yuanqi, Feng Qiao, and Xu Feng, Liu Hong immediately ordered Ting Wei to interrogate them overnight.

Things have developed to this stage, and whether there is a trial or not is of little significance, but Liu Hong still rarely follows the formal regulations.

After only one night of interrogation, Liu Hong ordered Ma Yuanyi, Xu Feng, Feng Xuan and others to be torn apart, and ordered the Taiping sect members to be hunted and killed in Sili.

And it was from this day that news about the Yellow Turban Army began to spread to Luoyang from all over the country.

First, the news came from Nanyang County, which is the closest to Luoyang. The Yellow Turban Army gathered in the champion. The official offices in West Hubei eventually gathered tens of thousands of Benwan City.

Subsequently, news of the Yellow Turban Army's uprising successively came from Runan County, Yingchuan County, Dongjun County, and Qiao County.

In a few days, the words that the sky is dead and the yellow sky should be established shocked the entire Han Dynasty!

The world trembled and shook!

The anger that had been pent up for an unknown number of years turned into a raging flame in an instant, like a prairie fire.

The Yellow Turban Army attacked cities and lands and government offices in various places. At the same time, they wantonly plundered Wubao, the head of the local famous family.

Before Luo Yang could respond effectively, news also came from Hebei.

Zhang Jiao, Zhang Bao, and Zhang Liang rebelled in Jizhou, Hebei. They called themselves Tiangong, Digong, and Rengong General. They led the headquarters of the Yellow Turban Army, burned down the government, killed officials, and looted everywhere.

Within a month, news of the Yellow Turban Army's uprising spread from 28 counties in seven prefectures, spreading to a wider area than ever seen before!

Liu Jian carefully sent people to inquire about the situation in every prefecture and every county.

Just like in history, when the Yellow Turbans first launched an attack, they were overwhelming, and the counties and counties around the country were hard to resist. Especially the counties in the interior, due to their very limited military strength, many county offices, county offices, and warehouses in various places were attacked by the Yellow Turbans for a while.

At this time, Liu Hong finally lost his former peace and fell into a deep panic. He was terrified every day and couldn't close his eyes day and night.

Zhang Rang and others immediately spoke to Liu Hong.Ask Liu Hong to set up the post of general to coordinate the troops from all over the country and guard Luoyang to conquer moth thieves.

Liu Hong asked the eunuchs who would be the best general at this time of crisis.

Zhang Rang, Zhao Zhong and others had already thought about it, and they recommended He Jin to Liu Hong.

He Jin has a very close relationship with Guo Sheng, one of the ten permanent servants. They are fellow villagers of Wancheng. Back then, He Jin also sent Empress He into the palace through Guo Sheng's network, and even used this to get acquainted with the ten permanent servants.

Although the war is imminent, Liu Hong is still very cautious about the grasp of power.

He knows that according to the current situation, it is inevitable to recruit troops and horses in various places, and to decentralize military power and people. Difficult to collect.

It has been a common practice since the Eastern Han Dynasty to use foreign relatives as generals. Liu Hong is very aware of this, but there has also been a delicate relationship between the generals and the emperor in the past. Imperial power can be both auxiliary and a hindrance.

Especially the two recent generals, Liang Ji and Dou Wu, made Liu Hong feel scruples.

However, Liang and Dou were both born in the six major families of the Eastern Han Dynasty. The family background is profound and the roots are deep. These two families are generals, and their authority is indescribable.

Liu Hong still doesn't know whether a butcher's family like He Jin will be a general, and whether he will hinder the imperial power.

He thought about it for several days, but he didn't make a final decision.

So Liu Hong approached Liu Jian to discuss.

Since Ma Yuanyi was captured alive after admonishing the Yellow Turban, Liu Jian's status in Liu Hong's heart has grown even higher.

Now his position in Liu Hong's heart even surpassed that of Liu Yan.

At this time, Liu Hong only believed in Liu Jian.

"Imperial brother, Zhang Rang and others advised me to appoint He Jin as a general. I am a little hesitant about this matter, and I want to consult with my imperial brother."

Liu Jian said: "Your Majesty, I think that at this time of crisis, moth thieves are causing chaos in various states and counties, and they are very powerful. This general who controls the army must be established, and Henan Yin's identity is indeed the most suitable. After all He himself is a foreign relative, and his natal family is not a prominent family."

Liu Hong stroked his beard, but didn't say anything.

"If your majesty is really worried, then you might as well give him a try and see how loyal he is? If you can learn from his loyalty, then he will be appointed, how about it?"

"How can you learn from your loyalty?"

"This matter is easy. Your Majesty can call He into the palace and give him the post of General. If he insists on declining and dare not accept it, it will be easy to control. If he does not refuse and is directly appointed, His Majesty will not make any further plans. Late."

When Liu Hong heard the words, he suddenly said: "This is true."

Later, Liu Hong asked Liu Jian about another matter.

"Yesterday, I received an edict from Huangfusong, the prefect of the Northern Region, advising to lift the party ban. He is afraid that the party members and local prominent family officials will secretly communicate with the Yellow Turban. Such a big man is in danger. I don't know what the emperor thinks about this matter?"

Liu Jiandao: "The moth thief has caused disaster, and I have been paying attention to the wars in the states. Now the moth thief is plundering the states and counties, attacking the government offices, and accepting refugees everywhere to strengthen their momentum. The state and county are in danger."

"I think that at this time, people can lead Habayashi Lang to station in various important places in Sili, and arrange armaments, mobilize food and grass, and make preparations for expeditions."

"Also consolidate and increase troops at Hangu Pass, Dagu, Guangcheng, Yique, Shenyuan, Revolving Gate, Mengjin, and Xiaopingjin to prevent moth thieves from besieging the capital. The moon is fine."

Liu Hong was surprised when he heard the words: "Why, if the people in the party prison conspire with the Yellow Turban, I'm afraid there will be no regrets."

Liu Jian replied: "That's true, but this time the moth thieves attacked the state capital. I heard that they not only attacked the government offices, but also plundered the local Wangmen, and many moth thieves attacked the famous family Wubao."

"I heard that apart from Jizhou and Youzhou, the Yellow Turbans, the main force led by Zhang Jiao himself, are still attacking the prefecture and county government offices. The scholar clan Yue Wubao's family has been under heavy attack,"

"I believe that the slogan of 'Heaven makes up for the average' spread among the moth thieves has caused the moth thieves in all states to hate Wangmen deeply. Only Zhang Jiao's goal is to encircle Luoyang. Although he can control Ji , the moth bandits in the two places, but because of the hatred of the moth bandits for the noble families in other parties, the Yellow Turbans failed to effectively expand the results of the battle, "

"According to the current reports from various places, most of the thieves in the counties are affected by the 'Tianbu Junping', and there are many who attack the local lords,"

"If there is no such thing, Your Majesty should first ask the party members for peace and release the party prison, so as not to join forces with the moth thief, but now, none of these people can stand by and watch. The harm of the various clans is even greater, I feel that His Majesty can wait and see, and wait for the party members and prominent families to take the initiative to ask His Majesty for peace!"

Because Liu Hong had too many rebellions, he was nervous and ignored these trivial details. After hearing this, he suddenly came to his senses.

Although it is now in a period of great war, the struggle between imperial power and gentry power is still going on, and Liu Hong also understands that the Yellow Turban Army has suddenly developed to such an extent, and the undercover capital and eight states are linked, which must have the secret support of the local gentry. It's just that although the emperor hated it in his heart, he couldn't speak out in this critical time.

After Liu Jian's reminder, Liu Hong calmed down.

"Okay, I will arrange it according to Ai Qing's wishes, and send more elites to the counties to investigate. If it is as the emperor said, then I and the scholars will be grasshoppers on the same line, and they will not be able to use moths. If you threaten me with a thief, you should take the initiative to cooperate with me instead!"

"Your Majesty is wise, that's exactly what it is."
