Super Cultivation System of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 426: Debate
Chen Ji sneered, "It is precisely because he is a relative of the Han Dynasty that he is more dangerous. If he has two minds, he can plot to usurp the throne at any time. He is not like Dong Zhuo, who is nothing more than a powerful official."

"Yes, yes, that's exactly the point."

A group of court officials also echoed.

At this point, Liu He, who had originally been there to watch the fun, finally couldn't bear it any longer.

He walked to the opposite side of Chen Ji, who could not help but take a step back, but quickly reacted, holding his head high, looking fearless.

"Mr. Chen, I have long heard of your great name. When you first came to Jinyang, we met by chance. It is a great regret in my life. I wish I could have received your guidance earlier. It is such a pity."

As soon as he mentioned this, Chen Ji's face turned pale and blue.

Liu He ignored the change in his expression and continued, "You are a famous scholar from Yingchuan, well-educated and a great scholar. You are now the Minister of State, in charge of important matters of the court. Today, you dared to speak out and remonstrate, not fearing life and death. This is truly admirable. What Minister Chen said is of course reasonable."

His words surprised everyone in the court. Cheng Liang thought that his elder brother was frightened by the other party and was about to step forward to help, but was stopped by Cui Jun and Zhang Yong.

Liu He said, "The clan members are not allowed to sit in the court. The Liu family must rely on the governance of the outside family to be stable. He agrees with this. Now that all the ministers are here, He will petition Your Majesty to return to the north and govern a state for the Han Dynasty."

Chen Ji was a little confused after hearing this, but the ministers behind him were delighted.

"General Liu is so enlightened, it is a blessing for the country. You should leave as soon as possible. We will definitely see you off and pass down a letter to praise the general's noble character."

Liu He looked at their glowing eyes and tried hard to suppress a smile.

"It is easy for Liu to leave, but there is one more difficult matter that I would like to ask you, my ministers, for your advice."

Those people were eager for Liu He to leave quickly, and when they heard that he had a problem, they all patted their chests.

"General Liu, please feel free to speak up. No matter how difficult it is, we will definitely do it for you."

Liu He bowed to these people.

"Thank you very much for your kindness. This is not a difficult matter. This time, Liu came to Luoyang with 50,000 soldiers. Now he has captured the Dong bandits, and there are also the troops of the two old generals Lu and Zhu, as well as the captives of the Guandong coalition. There are so many soldiers and horses. It is really difficult to support them all back to Bingzhou. How do you think we should arrange them?"

When these people heard this, they all smiled so much that their eyes and brows opened.

"So that's what it is. This is easy to do. The army should naturally stay in Luoyang, the military power should be taken back by the court, and a new general should be appointed to lead the army."

"Not only that, I see that General Liu's army is very powerful, so we should also keep 30,000 men to serve as the imperial guards."

When this person mentioned leaving behind 30,000 soldiers to pacify the people, many ministers' eyes lit up.

The appearance of the Anmin Army was so outstanding that no one could help but feel jealous after seeing it.

Liu He touched his chin and nodded repeatedly.

"Well, this is a very good idea."

This time even Chen Ji seemed somewhat relieved.

"Oh? General Liu is really willing?"

Liu He said as if it was a matter of course: "Of course, if it is beneficial to the country, how can I refuse it?"

"This is truly a great blessing."

Chen Ji seemed to feel that Liu He in front of him was not so annoying after all.

Liu He's face suddenly looked a little embarrassed again.

"There is one more trouble."

"General Liu, just come over." Chen Ji said readily.

"Such an army of several hundred thousand people guarding the capital is a heavy responsibility. I wonder who should be sent to lead it?"

As soon as Liu He finished speaking, several ministers spoke up: "The Yuan family is full of loyal and brave people. This time, the whole family was killed to fight against Dong Zhuo. Yuan Ben is a hero of the first generation, both civil and military. He should be recalled to Luoyang and appointed as the former general to take charge of the imperial guards." "Yes, I agree."

Liu He looked at Chen Ji and asked, "Yuan Benchu ​​is the leader of this meeting, and his reputation is beyond doubt. What does Minister Chen think?"

Chen Ji began to feel that something was wrong here. He was deep in thought when Liu He's words suddenly interrupted his train of thought. Several ministers behind him were secretly instigating him. At this moment, he said casually, "I also think it is feasible."

Unexpectedly, just as he finished speaking, Liu He shouted, "Great! That's a feasible idea!"

He looked around and sneered a few times, catching Chen Ji and others off guard.

"I, Liu He, am a noble of the Han Dynasty. I am commanding troops to guard Luoyang. You think this is against the rules and will eventually lead to chaos, which will cause more harm than Dong Zhuo. However, Yuan Benchu ​​is just an official from another family. He leads such a large army here, but you all say it is feasible. Humph, everyone knows what you are thinking!"

"Yes, how can we convince the public if we treat things so unfairly?"

Zhu Jun also said with some anger.

Guan Yu glanced at the ministers opposite him and snorted coldly: "The thief cries thief, what a shameless trick."

Chen Ji and others looked panicked and hurried to explain.

"No, no, what I mean is that Yuan Shao, Yuan Shu, Cao Cao and others should each lead a group of soldiers and guard one side. This way, it will be a perfect plan."

"You are still making excuses!" Liu He suddenly shouted.

"Do you think I don't know what you are thinking? You just want to take control of the military power in your own hands. Your Yingchuan Chen family has always been affiliated with the Yuan family. You were Yuan's lackeys that day and went to Bingzhou to secretly murder me. Now you are still so high-sounding. You really don't know what shame is!"

"You...how dare you..." Chen Ji was shocked and angry, his chest heaving violently.

"You old bastard, why don't you stop talking! You keep talking about your country and your family, but in fact, all you think about is your own interests. How can you be loyal to the emperor and love your country? You are a clown, and you still dare to speak nonsense in this court. Why don't you leave now?"

"You...you...cough cough..." Chen Ji was already old, and when Liu He made him angry, he immediately started coughing.

A minister beside him stood up and pointed at Liu He and cursed him.

"How dare you, Liu He, a mere governor of Shuofang, insult the Minister of Chancellery in the court. You are clearly harboring evil intentions and want to eliminate dissidents!"

"That's right..." Chen Ji, who had calmed his breathing, glared at Liu He with bloodshot eyes.

"You want to imitate Dong Zhuo? Unless I, Chen Ji, die, I will never let you succeed!"

Upon hearing his words, Liu He suddenly burst into laughter as if he had heard a joke.

“Hahahaha…hahahaha, ridiculous, ridiculous!”

"You...what are you laughing at!"

Liu He stared at Chen Ji, who felt a little guilty and kept dodging his gaze.

"Minister Chen believes that Dong Zhuo is a very evil person and everyone should oppose him?"

Chen Ji raised his head and said righteously, "Of course. Although I am old, I still have integrity and will never kneel down to serve a thief."

"Good, well said!" Liu He clapped his hands and cheered.

"However, if I remember correctly, Mr. Chen resigned from his post after the Party Imprisonment Incident and stayed at home until Dong Zhuo entered the capital last year, when he re-employed you and promoted you to the rank of General of the Five Officials. Not long after the old villain deposed King Hongnong, he promoted you to the rank of Shangshu Ling and put you in charge of the Shangshutai. You are so powerful. Could it be that Mr. Chen got this high position and generous salary by scolding Dong Zhuo?"

Chen Ji's face turned pale and he moved his lips, as if he wanted to refute something, but after thinking it over, he really couldn't think of any reason.

I had returned to officialdom at the instigation of Yuan Feng and Yuan Wei, originally in order to secretly help Dong Zhuo and gain a foothold in the court as soon as possible. However, I did not expect that Dong Zhuo would be so overbearing and tyrannical after entering the palace. He directly sent troops to take over the defense of the entire city and strictly guarded all officials who opposed him, causing public outrage. Later, he promoted me to be the Minister of the Chancellery. Although I was somewhat reluctant, I still surrendered out of fear of his majesty.

In fact, most ministers in the court were like this, so everyone knew it and would not expose it. Now that Liu He has exposed it, many ministers are ashamed.

I had a PY with a certain author. The book of this author is called "Fu Shu". As the name suggests, it supports Shu Han. The protagonist is Guan Ping. Several book friends are also reading this book. If you like the standpoint of Shu Han, you can go and have a look. Poor Guan Ping, he may be unknown in my writing. After all, Guan Yu should not go to Guanjiazhuang to accept an adopted son.
