Go back to the Three Kingdoms to grow vegetables

Chapter 301
At the end of September in the fifth year of Zhongping, Gongsun Zan returned to Feiru in a show of power in the eyes of all the people, and the Erzhang Rebellion, which lasted for more than a year, came to an end.

Liu Yu's letter of victory caused the capital Luoyang, who had just quelled the dispute between the eight school lieutenants in Xiyuan, to have another turmoil. For a while, Confucian scholars joined forces everywhere, hoping to suppress Liu Bei again.

When Liu Bei was in charge of Jinwu, there were countless Confucian scholars and knight-errants who suffered. They finally hoped that Liu Bei would be demoted, and they didn't want Liu Bei to come back.

Inside the Jiawen Palace, Liu Hong saw Liu Yu's pale face showing a coquettish ruddy. Just as Liu Hong was about to say something, he coughed violently. After the cough was over, the silk that Liu Hong used to cover his mouth A bewitching red flower appeared.

Liu Hong knew that he was almost at the point of exhaustion, thinking about the incompetent Liu Bian and the weak Liu Xie, Liu Hong was more determined to recall Liu Bei back to the capital, but this time it was Tuogu.

Liu Bei belongs to the imperial family, and with this name, eunuchs and relatives can't tolerate him. Liu Bei can only rely on the emperor to save his life. Besides, Liu Bei has soldiers in his hands, and he happens to be a three-legged rival with Jian Shuo and He Jin. At that time, no one can easily control him. affairs of state.

"Pass down my oral order, and all the officials will meet in the Jiade Hall tomorrow."

Since Liu Hong came to the throne, he only had court meetings with Su and Wangri every month, and a small court meeting with Sangong and Jiuqing every three days, and the rest of the time he only summoned officials for important matters.

Apart from the Yellow Turban Rebellion and the second disaster of party imprisonment, this is the third time that hundreds of officials have been convened to discuss matters in this way, which shows how much Liu Hong attaches importance to this matter.

"promise!"

Xun You, the order of the Huangmen, took it down, and then called a person to pass the decree to the Shangshutai, and the Shangshu ordered Zheng Tai to find He Yong, the imperial censor.

It was night, and the entire capital knew that Emperor Ling was going to call Liu Bei back to the capital.

"We must prevent Liu Bei from coming back."

Whether it's He Jin, the party members or the great Confucianists, they said it swearingly.

The party members managed to press one corner, but they didn't want the other corner to change into a pattern and make a comeback.

The next day, in the Jiade Hall, all the officials appeared in the hall, and sat down according to their respective seats, waiting for the Lingdi to appear.

"Your Majesty is here."

Liu Hong ate a century-old mountain ginseng offered by Lucheng last night, his face looked ruddy, especially when he saw the respectful civil and military officials in good spirits.

"See my emperor, long live, long live, long live!"

"Your Excellencies are exempt from courtesy."

Liu Hong waited for all the officials to sit down and said bluntly: "Today, the ministers of Youzhou are called here for one thing only. Liu Yu, the governor of Youzhou, said: The chaos in Youzhou is over. Let the ministers discuss how to reward meritorious ministers."

The Shangshu ordered Zheng Tai to play: "The minister thought that Liu Yu, the governor of Youzhou, could be named Taiwei, Rongqiuhou, and Liaoxi Changshi Gongsun Zan was the Dutinghou of the Jianglu School Lieutenant, and Lucheng Tinghou Liu Bei Zeng three hundred households, Qiduwei... ..."

Zheng Tai's words were interrupted by Liu Hong with a cold snort, his meaning had already passed through Xun You, he thought that He Jin would not be too obstructive, but he didn't expect them to be so disrespectful to Emperor Ling.

Zhao Zhong and Zhang Rang looked at each other, and Song Dian came out and said, "Your Majesty, this old slave thinks it's wrong. Liu Youzhou's memorial has made it very clear. Liu Hou first decided to replace the county and Shanggu, and destroyed the buildings, and then restored Guangyang and Yuzhou. Yang, Youbeiping, and Liaoxi, during which time they even sent aid to Hejian, so they should be credited with the first merit, and this old slave feels that the general should not be able to reward Liu Hou for his meritorious service."

The discomfort between the gentry and their relatives is something that the ten permanent attendants strongly support. Besides, Liu Bei usually has a lot of filial piety, so they are naturally willing to bring Liu Bei back to Beijing.

Zhang Rang even said: "Your Majesty, the old slave heard that there were many prisoners of Liuhou in the battle of Youzhou. Why not let him come to the capital to offer the prisoners, so as to strengthen our Han army and frighten the Qiang people in Xiliang."

Liu Hong was greatly moved when he heard the words, and was about to open his mouth to agree.

Later General Yuan Kai came out and said: "Your Majesty, although the offering of prisoners is good, the treasury is empty. Zhang Cheqi has sent several people to urge food. If the food is not paid, the war in Liangzhou can only be delayed until next year."

Threat, this is the threat of Chiguoguo, but Emperor Ling can't do anything about it. The Qiang rebellion in Xiliang lasted for decades, and the Qiang rebellion completely dragged down the Han Empire, and almost every year it smashed dozens of Hundreds of millions of money.

"There is no need to discuss this matter again, but Liu Bei can escort the two Zhangs to Beijing."

Emperor Ling made the next best thing, as long as Liu Bei was allowed to enter the capital, sooner or later he would have the opportunity to let Liu Bei do what he should do.

Lingdi's request is not high, but even so, the party members still can't meet it.

Shi Yushi He Yong said: "Your Majesty, Liu Bei should go to Beijing, but it is not he who escorted others, but others escorted him. Liu Bei, as a prince, has thousands of troops, and he is recruiting rangers in Lucheng. Is his intention contrary?"

In fact, during the Zhongping period, not to mention princes like Liu Bei, even wealthy merchants had thousands of armored men and tens of thousands of child servants.

However, as Liu Bei is a clan, he has so many soldiers that he has ulterior motives. Does he want to be the next Emperor Guangwu?

He Yong directly labeled Liu Bei as a rebel. Although He Yong had a good sense of Liu Bei, it did not prevent him from killing Liu Bei.

Cai Yong, the school lieutenant of Sili, couldn't help but came out and said: "Your Majesty, He Shi Yushi is completely slandering. Liu Hou has thousands of troops, all recruited under Liu Youzhou's order, not to mention there are county soldiers among them?"

Yes, the standing soldiers in Liu Bei's hands are all county soldiers, or private soldiers from other families, such as the Jian family, Zhang family, Zou family, etc., so they are not afraid of the court's investigation.

He Yong sneered: "It's just breaking the whole into parts. How can such a small plan be hidden from wise people."

He Yong is right, the key is that Emperor Ling doesn't want to pursue it.

"What I want you to discuss is how to award meritorious officials? Instead of holding others accountable?"

The imperial servant Ma Rixun said: "Your Majesty, how can you show your majesty's wisdom if you have meritorious service? I think Liu Hou can be transferred to the post of General Du Liao."

General Du Liao ruled Bingzhou, and the governor of Bingzhou was Ding Yuan, who belonged to He Jin's lineage, and Ding Yuan was also known for his martial arts, and he also had powerful generals such as Lu Bu, Zhang Yang, and Zhang Liao under his command, who could just rule Liu Bei.

Of course, this is the idea of ​​the party members, and Emperor Ling's idea is different. The Duliao camp has been abandoned, and it can just accommodate Liu Bei's subordinates.

Once Liu Bei became General Du Liao, he could control the northern frontier army. Once the capital was lost, Liu Bei could quickly defend the capital?
The most important thing is that this can divert the attention of the gentry, and then Emperor Ling called Liu Ying back to Beijing on the pretext that the Queen Mother missed Liu Ying, and then dispatched the Liao camp to escort Liu Ying.

Naturally, such a plan was not conceived by people like Emperor Ling who were exhausted, it was Zhao Zhong and Zhao Rao's ingenious plan.

As long as Liu Bei does not return to Beijing to serve, the party members can accept everything else. Even if Liu Bei lives in the capital for half a year, once Emperor Ling dies, the new emperor can let Liu Bei return to Bingzhou with an order.

Of course, Liu Bei will have some influence in the capital, but He Jin holds the fifth school of the Northern Army, and half of the eight lieutenants of Xiyuan are controlled by the party, so Liu Bei can't make waves.
