Chapter 228 The smoke is everywhere(1/2)
Chapter 228: Wolves are rising
The Jiade Hall was the place where the Han emperor discussed the affairs of the court with his ministers. In other words, it is the so-called Golden Palace.
However, since the death of Emperor Han Liu Hong, the Jiade Hall has not been opened for more than a year.
When He Jin was assisting in government affairs, he basically decided on matters in the General's Mansion, and then went through a formality in the Jiade Hall. When it came to Dong Zhuo, it was even simpler. Everything was decided in the Da Mansion, which is now the Grand Tutor's Mansion, and he didn't even leave that formality. The reason was very simple. At that time, there was an empress dowager above He Jin to rule the country from behind.
Now, Emperor Liu Xie of Han has almost no backer and is young. What can he do?
At this point, Dong Zhuo did not have the flexibility to do it, but it also conformed to his natural straightforward temperament of a warrior.
Suddenly, I went to Jiade Hall to discuss matters?
Dong Qi was also very clear about the actions of Han Fu and others.
However, Li Ru had already agreed on countermeasures, so he was not very anxious.
Now that he suddenly went to court to discuss matters, it was probably Li Ru's plan that was about to begin. Although he had been avoiding the so-called historical reappearance. But when history really reappeared, Dong Qi found that he was not disappointed, but was very excited.
Are the eighteen princes?
Dong Qi sneered in his heart, and the curtain was finally about to begin!
He ordered Wu Anguo to go home and tell Cai Yan that he and Wang Rong came straight to Nangong. As Guangluxun, all the guards of Nangong were under Dong Qi's command. Today, the military generals on duty were Gao Shun, who was under Lu Bu. When entering Nangong, Dong Qi couldn't help but stop and glanced at this famous general who was usually taciturn and almost didn't speak.
Gao Shun also looked at Dong Qi, bowed slightly, and did nothing again.
"This person is arrogant!"
Wang Rong couldn't help but whisper.
Dong Qi walked towards Jiade Hall and heard Wang Rong's words, but smiled, "Although Gao Shun is arrogant, he does have the capital to be arrogant."
In fact, Dong Qi also had a lot of thoughts to win over Gao Shun.
But the result...
Haha, Qu Yi said that Gao Shun is the only one in Luoyang City who can compete with him in military management.
Qu Yi is also a very arrogant person. Perhaps arrogant people always have a different self-esteem than ordinary people.
So, Dong didn't mind.
Wang Rong stopped outside Qingsou Gate. Because behind Qingsou Gate, there is a major area of the imperial city, and it is definitely not an ordinary person who can enter.
As Dong Qi's commander of the guards, Wang Rong has a very high status.
However, Dong Qi was very particular about doing things and refused to make an appointment easily. Therefore, Dong Qi only brought two snow ghosts into Qingsou Gate and headed straight to Jiade Hall.
Above the hall, there was a silence.
After Dong Qi entered, all the officials of the court had gathered intact.
Emperor Liu Xie, who was sitting on the dragon throne, looked around timidly. No one in this hall was his confidant.
The conspiracy to kill Liu Bian was that all the guards in Changle Palace were replaced.
More than 80 small yellow sects were all small yellow sects left by Queen Dong for Liu Bian back then, and they were killed by Dong Zhuo.
Now, Liu Xie, who has not been in court for a long time, suddenly received news that he was going to court, and he couldn't help feeling uneasy.
Dong Qi went to the palace, and many ministers handed over to Dong Qi...
Seeing that everyone had already arrived, Dong Zhuo smiled and said, "My lords, please discuss the government affairs today. What you want to talk about is the princes of Guandong who are planning to rebel and raise troops... Li Ru, read the rebel's edict and let everyone listen."
Li Ru stood up and recited the list text loudly.
Although Liu Xie is young, his accomplishments in writing are not bad.
Empress Dowager Dong was very strict in discipline in this regard, so although the words on the list were awkward, Liu Xie understood it.
His face became paler and his hands were clenched into fists.
It turns out that people in the world do not think I am orthodox. They raise troops to kill Dong Zhuo, but Dong Zhuo is dead. What should I do?
Liu Bian looked at Dong Zhuo, but saw Dong Zhuo, and also looked at him, with a very strange smile on his face.
Boy, listen to me and you can be the emperor steadily. If you use tricks, I am afraid that your throne will be unstable.
"The governor of Xuzhou Tao Qian, Yuyang Prefect Gongsun Zan, Fenwu General Cao Cao, Yuzhou General Kong Yichang, Jincheng Prefect Zhang Miao, Xingbei Prefect Ma Teng, Chenliu Prefect Zhang Yang, Beihai Prefect Kong Rong... A total of twenty-two princes were formed, and they formed an alliance with the sour zao... The chief of Bohai Prefect Yuan Shao was appointed as the leader of the alliance, and merged the Yi soldiers and went to the national crisis. Anyone who was in alliance, worked together to protect our Han imperial rule, and promoted our Han country, so as to achieve the integrity of the ministers, must have no two ambitions... The leader of the alliance, Guangling Gongcao Zanghong."
When Dong Qi started listening, he was still frightened.
Why have the eighteen princes in history become twenty-two princes now?
When did Ma Teng become the prefect of Beidi County? Zhang Miao... This name sounds a bit familiar, but he can't remember the origin of this person.
As for others, Dong Qi can't remember whether it matches the Romance of Legend.
But generally speaking, he is still familiar. However, Qin Jie, the governor of Yangzhou, did not send troops? Does he agree with Dong Zhuo?
However, at the end of hearing, especially the official position of the main ally, Dong Qi couldn't help laughing loudly.
An alliance of either the governor or the general, but a small Guangling County Gongcao came out to lead the alliance? Dong Qi showed a sneer: It is conceivable that this alliance is not strong, and it is probably similar to that alliance in history.
"Why did the Yangzhou governor not respond?"
Dong Qi asked suddenly.
All the civil and military officials looked at him with strange eyes. When they heard those allies, these court officials were very scared. Why is this person not only not afraid, but also feels that there are fewer people?
Li Ru knew about the relationship between Dong Qi and Qin Jie, and smiled, "Zhu Hou didn't know anything. At the beginning of the year, the Qin governor wiped out the Zhenze bandit Peng Shi and had been bedridden. I guess this time, the Qin governor didn't show up because of illness."
Dong Qi glanced at the court officials and nodded slightly.
Now, the twenty-two princes raised their troops, which also means that all the enemies of Dong Zhuo have basically stood up in Guandong.
I am not afraid of many others, but I am afraid of him hiding in the dark.
Li Ru arrested Yuan Wei and was waiting for the next action of the princes from all over the country.
At least from the moment, Li Ru's plan is pretty good. All the enemies outside have come out, so what about the inside?
However, Dong Chu was still a little heartbroken.
Cao Cao finally stood up... He originally thought that this friend who was in Luoyang back then would support him. But unexpectedly, he finally stood on the opposite side of himself. Perhaps, this is fate, Dong and Cao cannot coexist.
Liu Xie said in a trembling voice: "Taoshi, what should we do with so many thieves?"
Dong Zhuo looked calm, "What's the point of asking me if I'm just a thief?"
A minister stood up and said, "The Grand Master's words are wrong. How did many great men become thieves again? Now the princes are launching troops from all over Liangzhou... 500,000 troops are looking at Luoyang, but I don't know what strategy does the Grand Master have to defeat the enemy?"
That minister, Geng Ji, the Secretary of the Shangshu.
Among the officials, Zhong Fu's uncle and nephew frowned slightly, but did not stand up and speak.
But one person said, "Shangshu Geng's words are bad. Although there are many princes and generals, don't forget that the people of Guandong have forgotten to fight for a long time. Although there are many people, their combat power is extremely low. Yuan Benchu and others are usually pampered and have a good life. Qingtan may be a good player, but when it comes to marching and fighting, I am afraid that there is a huge difference compared to Taishi Dong."
Geng Ji said sternly: "Zheng Tai, don't forget that Yuan Shao once pacified the Yellow Turbans in Jizhou..."
"Does Geng think that the Liangzhou army, like the Yellow Turban Army, is a mob? Not to mention that there are peerless tiger generals such as Zhenghou and Wenhou, Bingzhou army and Liangzhou army, are all powerful and brave in the world. How can the rebels be the opponent?"
Geng Ji is the first party member who can't stand it and jump out!
Everyone can see this clearly.
What surprised Dong Qi was Zheng Tai.
When he analyzed it, he seemed to be very insightful. And from his tone, he was obviously standing on Dong Zhuo's side.
Li Ru sneered: "Come here, please leave by Shangshu Geng."
"Zheng Tai, you are a villain, don't forget how the Grand Tutor supported you back then. Now that the traitor is in power, you are helping the evil. You will die a good death in the future, and you will die a good death..."
Zheng Tai looked solemn, "When the emperor is in power, Han Fu, Yuan Shao and others call the emperor a priest not orthodox, and is a ruthless person. Although Zheng Tai had the advice of the Grand Tutor back then, he also knew that the king of heaven and earth was his relatives and teachers, and this king was ranked before the master. Zheng Tai could be crushed to pieces by the emperor and not interfere with villains. Secretary Geng, in the opinion of Tai, you would not die well."
Geng Ji cursed and was pulled down from the Golden Palace.
Dong Qi looked at Zheng Tai, but after he finished speaking, he silently retreated into the ministers' ranks. The ministers on both sides dodged intentionally or unintentionally. However, Zheng Tai stood alone, as desolate as it seemed.
However, Zheng Tai stood proudly.
This guy is a foolish and loyal person.
Dong Qi scratched his head and said, "What Lord Zheng said just now is indeed reasonable. The traitor seems powerful, but it is actually a mob. Why should we worry? When Zhang Ju was planning a rebellion, my marquis first arrived in Luoyang. The general asked me if there was a good plan to defeat the enemy. I only said that soldiers come to prevent the enemy and water comes to fill the earth. Today's situation is still the same. When the enemy comes, kill them."
Dong Zhuo smiled and said, "What the Marquis of Zhe said is not bad, just rebel and rebel, just fight!"
As he spoke, he glanced at Zheng Tai.
Zheng Tai didn't respond, just stood silently.
Liu Xie asked softly: "I just don't know how the Grand Master should fight?"
Li Ru sneered, "Although there are many bandit soldiers, I look at them like local chickens and tiles. Zhang Miao... Although he is a clever man, although he is in love with Ma Teng, he only needs the former general Niu Fu to defend the front line in Longxi. He only needs to enter the cold winter and his army will defeat him without attacking."
"Oh?" Zhong Fu asked curiously: "Why?"
"Before, Han Sui made a rebellion, and 200,000 troops attacked Longxi, but ended up in a crushing defeat. Whether it was Ma Teng or Zhang Miao, most of them were Qiang people. I believe those guys should still remember the situation of starving in the snow a few years ago."
People from Liangzhou laughed when they heard this.
Dong Qi said: "I have a plan, and Zhang Miao may not be able to move. I have always had friendship with Teng Ziju, the king of the White Horse Qiang, and I can order him to come out of the river valley to harass Jincheng. The Grand Tutor only needs to give Teng Ziju a name, without gold and silver, he will serve."
