Han Dynasty Achievements

Chapter 40 Dagger Encounter

"Why, is there something wrong with the Qing family?"

Liu Bian met Yuan Wei's gaze and said with a smile.

Yuan Wei's eyes immediately turned into contemplation. He lowered his eyelids, and his thin face regained its calmness. He said, "Your Majesty, the expansion of the Yulin Army is a matter of great importance. We need the consultation of the Shangshutai and proceed with caution."

Liu Bian hummed and said, "You are right. Then you should also write a memorial. The main content is about the defense of Luoyang City."

"Still writing? Aren't you planning to seize He Jin's military power?"

Yuan Wei had many doubts in his mind, but he still picked up the pen and began to write carefully.

After Emperor Guangwu's restoration, the Han Dynasty changed the conscription system to a recruitment system. By now, various drawbacks have been exposed, especially the temporary recruitment of young and strong people, who lack training and combat effectiveness, and therefore have suffered many defeats.

Almost everyone in the court and the country knew one thing: 'The king's army is weak.

Liu Bian watched him write, picked up the teacup and took a sip of tea.

He has recently been studying the military system during the reign of Emperor Wu. He has many ideas, but he also combines them with current reality, verifies them carefully, and takes his time.

Soon, Yuan Wei finished writing, stood up and handed it to Liu Bian, saying, "Your Majesty, please read it."

Liu Bian pressed his hands and said, "Please take a seat, no need to be polite."

Looking at the silk manuscript with the ink still wet, there are more than 200 words but no actual content, and it is almost all quotations from classics.

Simply put, if anything can be seen from this memorial, it is all Liu Bian's business and has nothing to do with Yuan Wei.

Liu Bian raised his eyelids and glanced at him, thinking to himself, should I make this old fox nervous? Maybe he could write something useful?

"His Majesty."

Pan Yin quietly came behind Liu Bian and whispered.

Liu Bian stared at her intently, hummed, and said, "Is it arranged?"

Pan Yin glanced at Yuan Wei and said without saying anything: "Something happened."

Liu Bian was startled and turned to look, only to see Pan Yin lowering his head with a slightly solemn expression.

Yuan Wei stood up tremblingly and said, "Your Majesty, I would like to go to the toilet."

"Quick, give Qing Jia a hand." Liu Bian quickly waved his hand, signaling the eunuch behind Yuan Wei.

The two eunuchs stepped forward quickly, supported Yuan Wei, and turned to leave the pavilion.

Pan Yin waited until Yuan Wei walked out of Xu Yuan before whispering, "Your Majesty, Yu Lin Lang Bao Ze was killed in Liu Xiang Yuan."

Yulinlang is the chief officer of the Yulin Army. Liuxiangyuan, you can tell what it is just by the name.

Liu Bian's expression changed immediately and he asked, "When?"

Pan Yin said: "Not long ago, the Yulin Army was in chaos and was looking for people all over the city. It is said that two or three people escaped."

Liu Bian narrowed his eyes slightly, his gaze was cold, and he asked, "Do you know who did it? What is the general's reaction?"

Pan Yin bowed and said, "I don't know yet. The general has already left the palace. The Inspector of the Capital Yuan Shu, the Cavalry Commander Bao Hong, and the Assistant Army Commander Chun Yuqiong are all with the general."

"What a coincidence?"

Liu Bian muttered to himself, silently calculating the time, and said, "It should be enough. Send an order for the three ministers, Wang Yun, and Yang Biao to enter the palace."

"Yes." Pan Yin responded and slowly backed away.

At this time, lanterns not far away lit up, and Yuan Wei, led by two Zhonghuangmen, walked towards Liu Bian's pavilion again.

He had a blank expression on his face, calm eyes, and walked with a crutch, neither fast nor slow.

During this period of time, he thought a lot, but he was still unsure what the new emperor was trying to do.

Yuan Wei came to the pavilion, bowed, and just sat down, Liu Bian smiled and said: "Write another one, mainly about the governors, prefects, generals, etc. in various places, who are domineering, disrespectful to the court, and pretend to obey but secretly disobey. Write some suggestions for me to see."

What Liu Bian said was already polite. In reality, Gongsun Zan of Youzhou and Dong Zhuo of Bingzhou both had their own armies and were becoming too powerful to be controlled.

Gongsun Zan was reckless in Liaodong and no one could control him. Dong Zhuo, on the other hand, had his own army and was so powerful that he refused to accept the imperial summons several times. Even when Emperor Lingdi promoted him to the position of Shaofu, one of the nine ministers, he repeatedly declined and refused to give up his military power and go to the capital.

The imperial court had no way to deal with them.

Yuan Wei did not hesitate. He picked up the pen, thought for a while, and began to write.

Liu Bian looked at him and couldn't help feeling a little anxious.

There are still more than two hours.

outside the palace.

He Jin was wearing armor and leading a large group of soldiers. The fire lit up a street.

In front of him, there were seven or eight corpses, covered in blood and dead as hell.

He Jin looked fierce and stern, and asked, "Have you found out who it is?"

Bao Ze is the most important person for He Jin to control the Yulin Army. His death will weaken He Jin's control over the Yulin Army!

Yuan Shu was in great pain because Yuan Feng had just passed away. His expression was very ugly. He gritted his teeth and said, "They should be wanderers. They often appear in various mansions all year round and have frequent contacts with the eunuch party. They are probably here to avenge the eunuch party! Eight died and three escaped!"

He Jin naturally thought of it, and shouted: "Search! Even if I have to dig three feet into the ground, I will find them for me!"

"As ordered!"

Yuan Shu, Chunyu Qiong, Bao Hong and others responded in a deep voice.

If someone dares to assassinate Yu Lin Lang today, it will be them tomorrow. Naturally, they are indignant!

He Jin became even angrier and tried every means to control the Yulin Army and prevent them from getting out of control.

When He Jin was running around late at night, Xun You, who had been appointed as the Imperial Court Minister, came over, pulled him aside, and whispered, "The general, the three ministers, Minister Wang, Doctor Yang and others have entered the palace."

He Jin suppressed his anger and asked, "Is it because of the Yulin Army?"

Xun You was in his early forties, plump and white with a goatee. He glanced around and whispered, "Teacher Yuan is also in the palace. He has been here for nearly an hour and has not left yet."

He Jin was stunned and asked, "Yuan Feng is dead, but he didn't come out?"

Xun You paused, and said meaningfully: "The eunuch won't deliver the message."

He Jin's face was full of confusion. It was normal to report Yuan Feng's death to the palace. Moreover, Yuan Wei was still in the palace, so why didn't the eunuch pass on the message?

Xun You was also puzzled, and said, "General, although I don't understand it either, there must be a reason! Should we go to the palace to ask?"

Xun You's intention was to let He Jin go to see Empress Dowager He.

He Jin glanced at the Yulin Army, which was still in chaos and out of control, and said, "Let me clean up the Yulin Army first!"

Xun You said, "General, there must be something going on in the palace. Leave it to the captains. Don't delay!"

He Jin still liked Chen Lin, and he always felt resentful of Xun You who always advised him to take the "long-term plan". He waved his hand impatiently and said, "I know, I won't delay any longer!"

Seeing this, Xun You couldn't help but sigh in his heart.

at the same time.

Huangfu Song's 10,000-strong army was galloping non-stop towards the capital and had already reached ten miles west of Luoyang!

Liu Bian miscalculated the time and ignored the time it took Huangfu Song to deliver the letter and the time it took him to reply.

Huangfu Song did not rest at all. The army marched non-stop and headed straight for Luoyang City at almost the fastest speed!

At this time, no one in Luoyang City knew about it.

Second update arrived.
