Chapter 76 Each has a plan
In the Beigong and the palace where Zhang Rang lived, almost all the ten regular attendants gathered here at this time.
"Mr. Let me summon me to come here late at night. What's the point?" Zhao Zhong looked at Zhang Rang with sleepy eyes. During this period, everyone at the Ten Eunuchs were very careful. Not to mention interfering in the government affairs, even the matters in the palace were rarely concerned.
Empress Dowager Dong was sent out of the palace by He Jin, Empress Dowager He... To be honest, although Empress Dowager He was in charge of the help of the Ten Changshou, because of his relationship with He Jin, the Ten Changshou and Empress Dowager He did not have a harmonious relationship. Now that Liu Bian ascended the throne, Empress Dowager He is the lord of the Northern Palace. Naturally, the Ten Changshou did not dare to come out often to get upset. Who knows if Empress Dowager He would be unhappy to take them to the cooking?
It is really not difficult for Empress Dowager He to deal with them now, so the Ten Changshi has been in a state of scrambling to die during this period. At this time, he had fallen asleep long ago.
"Now we, the favorite ministers of the late emperor, have lost their power. If it is not necessary, I wouldn't want to bother you." Zhang Rang looked at everyone and said in a deep voice: "But now it is time for us to live and die. If you don't want to die, I don't think you will not want to die, so I will attract you."
"What's wrong with Mr. Rang?" Seeing that Zhang Rang's face was serious and not like a fake, Zhao Zhong couldn't help but look solemn.
"Tonight, He Jin holds a banquet in the mansion to entertain all the ministers and ministers in the court." Zhang Rang looked at everyone and said in a deep voice.
No one spoke. As a general, He Jin was actually not surprised to have a banquet for all the ministers and ministers in the court. I guess there is still something to say about Zhang Rang.
Sure enough, Zhang Rang was silent for a moment and said, "I still have some ways in He's mansion, so I found out the news. He Jin was discussing with the scholars tonight to get rid of us."
"Teacher, this matter is extraordinary. Can you make sure the news is reliable?" Zhao Zhong frowned.
"It's true." Zhang Rang sighed: "If it weren't for this, why should I disturb you?"
Gao Wang said anxiously: "The butcher now holds Luoyang troops and takes over the military power in the world. He wants to kill us. How can we compete with him?"
Zhao Zhong looked at Zhang Rang and said, "Mr. Rang, the prince consort is now stationing troops in Huzhu. If he is willing to return to the court, we may have a chance to compete with He Jin!"
Song Dian shook his head and smiled bitterly: "In the past, I was so powerful that he naturally wanted to curry favor with us. Now I am so powerful that I am so lonely. Now he is in a high position and power. Why do he still care about our life or death?"
"Rang Gong?" Gao Wang looked at Zhang Rang with some reluctance.
"Before, I have sent someone to contact the prince-consort, but the prince-consort is now worried and has become sick and has bad luck. I am afraid it will be difficult to save us." Zhang Rang shook his head and said.
When everyone heard this, they were disappointed.
"But..." Zhang Rang changed his mind and said, "The prince-in-law gave us a plan, but this plan is very dangerous. I told us to use it with caution."
"What is the plan? Let me tell you quickly." Zhao Zhong and others heard this, as if they had grabbed a life-saving straw and looked at Zhang Rang anxiously.
"Look at this thing with you!" Zhang Rang took out a volume of edict from his arms and handed it to Zhao Zhong and said, "This is the last edict left by the late emperor before his death. It was passed on to the prince Xie. Later, it was handed over to the prince consort by Shuo Gong. Unfortunately, He Jin was in great power, and the prince consort had to avoid his edge."
Everyone looked at the edict in Zhang Rang's hand, but there was no joy. Zhao Zhong smiled bitterly and said, "So what if there is this edict? We have no military power, so we have great justice in our hands. How can we compete with the butcher?"
"Although there are no soldiers in Luoyang, it does not mean that we really have no soldiers to adjust. Do you still remember Dong Zhongying?" Zhang Rang took back the edict and looked at everyone with a smile.
"Dong Zhuo?" Zhao Zhong and others were stunned when they heard this, frowned and said, "This man is a powerful general under his command. However, since he established himself as the governor of Liangzhou, he has cut off contact with the court. Although he is now a minister, he will not pay tribute or worship him. How can we move him?"
"Dong Zhuo is a wolf-like man. Now he has 100,000 brave men in Xiliang. How could he be the governor of Liangzhou?" Zhang Rang sneered: "If he gave this edict to him, he would naturally lead his army to come without our persuasion."
"But how do you guarantee that he will listen to our order?" Gao Wang frowned.
"Deploy?" Zhang Rang shook his head: "In the past, he failed in the Jizhou battle and used money and materials to me. I also helped him overcome the difficulties. However, the late emperor has gone, and this is not a favor. With this kind of person, it is not easy to mobilize him? But we are just seeking self-protection. Dong Zhuo led his troops to come, and He Jin will naturally lead his troops to meet the enemy. In this way, we will have a place to go."
"Let the official say so much." Song Dian nodded after hearing this. The most important thing now is that they can't even save their lives. It would be too ridiculous to mobilize their troops.
Zhao Zhong hesitated and said, "It's just that, I'm afraid Luoyang will be in war again. The late emperor trusts us all his life, and it's a bit like this..."
Zhang Rang and others couldn't help but be silent when they heard this. Although the Ten Eunuchs were notorious, many of them were the blame for Liu Hong. However, no matter what, they could have the wealth and power they are today, all depended on Liu Hong. As soon as the edict was sent out, they almost destroyed the Han Dynasty. No matter whether He Jin or Dong Zhuo won the final victory, the majesty of the Han Dynasty would probably be gone.
"But I have no choice now." Song Dian sighed and shook his head, "Your Majesty is very waiting for me, but now it is a time of life and death, and I don't care about that much. Besides, even if there is no such thing, the Han Dynasty will not be able to grow."
"Mr. Let me tell you, what to do, I will listen to you!" Gao Wang looked at Zhang Rang. No matter how good Liu Hong is to them, people die like a lamp that goes out. People who are alive still have to consider the future. As for loyalty... they are already worthy of Liu Hong. What will happen to the world next is really not something they can control. Now they can only take one step at a time.
"I want to live!" Zhang Rang looked at everyone and said with a wry smile: "Now we have no other way to go. Even the prince-consort is unwilling to return to Luoyang to get involved in the current government. I believe that it is obvious that the Han Dynasty is not guaranteed. Now, in order to protect ourselves, we can only let the previous emperor down."
"All let the Lord let the orders." Everyone bowed quickly.
"Okay, this matter is related to our life and death. We need to send our confidant to send this will to Dong Zhuo." Zhang Rang's eyes swept across everyone and said in a stern manner: "It's not that I don't believe you, but this matter is related to our lives and we must not be hasty. Therefore, this person who sends the letter needs to be someone who is agreed with us."
Otherwise, what if the sender ran away halfway? Besides, with the reputation of everyone calling for beating the Ten Eternal Services, let alone going to Xiliang, I am afraid that if you just left Luoyang City, you will die without a complete body.
When everyone heard this, they nodded unconsciously. Everyone could understand Zhang Rang's concerns. Although the Ten Eternal Services were one, after all, people's hearts were separated from their stomachs. In the past, they were just a combination of interests. Now that everyone is planning for themselves, it is naturally difficult to believe others.
Everyone screened and then sent someone to Xiliang to pass the imperial edict. Everyone discussed trying to avoid conflicts with He Jin during this period, and at the same time held the imperial guards in the palace tightly. If one day it was really difficult to save the situation, they could break through.
In the next few days, Luoyang City was calm and Yuan Shao asked He Jin to kill the Ten General Staff several times, but He Jin was always undecided and unable to make up his mind, which made Yuan Shao and others quite anxious.
"Has this butcher saw something and was unwilling to take action?" Yuan Mansion, Yuan Shao, and Wang Yun knelt in front of Yuan Wei. Yuan Shao frowned and wondered why He Jin refused to take action for a long time.
In fact, it is mainly because the scholars wanted to take this opportunity to let He Jin break into the palace again and kill the Ten Constables. The most important thing is military power.
Now that the military power in Luoyang is under strict supervision by He Jin, the scholars cannot intervene. If He Jin turns his attention to the Ten Changshi, they can mobilize troops from other places to compete with He Jin.
"Benchu, you went to visit Ye Zhao. He is really sick?" Yuan Wei looked at Yuan Shao and frowned.
"It's true." Yuan Shao thought about the situation when he visited Ye Zhao a few days ago. His face turned pale, his eyes were dull, and his expression was decadent. Just as Ye Zhao's aides reported, at least Yuan Shao could not see any clues and looked at Yuan Wei with some confusion: "Why did uncle ask this?"
"You..." Yuan Wei shook his head: "Ye Zhao will not be ill early or late, but he will get seriously ill at this time. If it is true, it would be too coincidental. It would be impossible for me to use him to fight He Jin for this disease."
"Is uncle saying that he is pretending to be sick?" Yuan Shao raised his eyebrows and said unexpectedly.
"I don't believe in coincidence." Yuan Wei smiled and shook his head, not saying yes, nor saying no, but just said: "In this way, I have squandered him. Now I have to make another plan."
"But the butcher is quite careful in Luoyang's military power. I'm afraid it will be difficult for me to intervene again!" Yuan Shao looked at Yuan Wei with a wry smile. He had never thought about rebuilding the Sili lieutenant headquarters these days. After all, the original Sili lieutenant headquarters became Ye Zhao, the general's guard's mansion, and was no longer controlled by the Sili lieutenant.
However, this requires a lot of money and food to rebuild the Sili School Command, but He Jin obviously cannot give it to them, so they have to take it themselves. Secondly, the recruitment and training of the new army also takes time. When the army is established, I don’t know when it will be. This is still the case when He Jin is not enough to make a move. It is even more difficult to get in the way.
"Since the people and horses in Luoyang are hopeless, then we will transfer other troops." Yuan Wei thought for a moment and said calmly.
"Uncle is saying..." Yuan Shao's heart moved and he looked at Yuan Wei.
"Do you remember the Bingzhou Governor Ding Jianyang?" Yuan Wei did not answer, but asked back.
"Of course I remember, if it weren't for the promotion of my uncle, how could he be the governor of Bingzhou?" Yuan Shao couldn't help but smile when he heard this.
"Letter to him, and let him lead Bingzhou to bravely go south to Luoyang..." Yuan Wei looked up at Yuan Shao and said, "Clear the emperor's side!"
