Traveling through Chenghan Xiandi, fortunately I have a simulator

Chapter 35 Helpless (please recommend, please collect)

Zhang Ming watched the guards prepare to drag Cai Yong down, he couldn't help it, after all he was the emperor, but now the guards in the palace were listening to Wang Yun's words openly.

I saw Zhang Ming say, "Lord Situ, why is this so? What Cai Yong did was just to thank Dong Zhuo for his kindness, which gave him the opportunity to study the history of the Han Dynasty. Why should we be afraid of a person who writes history books in the Han Dynasty?" ?"

The two guards stopped. They were in a dilemma, so they stayed where they were.

I saw Wang Yun looking at His Majesty who was sitting on the throne. He didn't expect His Majesty to be contrary to his thoughts. The secret chat that lasted for several months before made Wang Yun have an illusion that His Majesty was with him. is a line.

"Your Majesty, don't be influenced by Cai Yong. What this person does is to continue to destroy the Han Dynasty. He was treated favorably by the traitor Dong Zhuo, so he expressed dissatisfaction with His Majesty's killing of Dong Zhuo. That's why he did this. "

"Everyone, what do you think?"

I saw Sun Rui, a warrior holding gold, stood up first and said, "I also think Situ's words are reasonable. Situ did his best for the great Han court and carefully planned to kill Dong Zhuo. If Situ and General Lu hadn't conspired, how would we get rid of this national traitor?" Therefore, the old minister feels that Situ's words are all right."

Shangshu Yang Zan also stood up and said, "Your Majesty is still young, and he is easily deceived by others. Cai Yong's words seem to be admitting his crimes, but in fact he is using his green name to kidnap His Majesty. Your Majesty Don't trust what Cai Yong said."

I saw one veteran after another stood up, and they all supported Wang Yun's views without exception, which made Wang Yun more confident in his decision.

Seeing all the old officials standing on Wang Yun's side, Zhang Ming felt that being an emperor was also so difficult for the first time. In the eyes of these old officials, he was just a mascot, and he was a little more advanced than the puppet in Dong Zhuo's time. , at least now there is no one in the palace to restrict his freedom.

But when Zhang Ming wanted to control the power of the court, he discovered that he had not established his own bureaucracy. Even Huangfusong had contacts with these veteran officials. Even Huangfusong had to pass through the government to restrict Situ's travel. It was done by lying, and he, the emperor, still didn't have half the authority.

But these ministers in the imperial court almost have the power of aristocratic families behind them. For example, Yang Biao belongs to the Hongnong Yang family, four generations and three princes. Not to mention him now.

Zhang Ming knew that these aristocratic powers originated in the early days of the founding of the Eastern Han Dynasty, and would even affect the historical Wei, Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties in the future. They were not effectively resolved until the Sui and Tang Dynasties. It is simply a dream for him to solve the family problems now.

Therefore, at this time, he is going to avoid the edge for the time being, and he does not intend to offend the family first. He still needs to rely on the family to stabilize the court first. After all, internal strife at this time is not conducive to controlling Chang'an.

Therefore, Zhang Ming said, "Since all the veterans agree with Wang Situ's words, I have no other opinions, but I think Cai Yong deserves to die for his crime, and he can be spared. It is better to abolish his official position and drive him out of Chang'an. What does Wang Situ think?" ?”

Wang Yun is not stupid, he can hear that His Majesty is dissatisfied with his behavior just now, he knows that His Majesty has already given him a concession by saying this, and told him not to push forward.

Therefore Wang Yun said, "Your Majesty's words are very correct. The old minister thinks that His Majesty is too magnanimous, but since His Majesty has already made a decision, the old minister will not say more."

This was already the greatest power that Zhang Ming could win, so he hurriedly ordered Cui Ming to send another decree to the eunuch to draw up the decree according to what he said just now. As for Cai Yong himself, he asked the guards to drive him out of the court.

Cai Yong thanked His Majesty repeatedly, and then walked out of the palace under the leadership of the guards. He looked at Dong Zhuo's body again, and then walked straight out of the palace.

Looking at Cai Yong's gradually disappearing figure, Zhang Ming thought that the current him could save Cai Yong, but when he did so, he realized that the current him is still so powerless.

The aristocratic family is in power, and Zhang Ming, as the emperor, still can only make compromises.

Then Zhang Ming continued to discuss the matter, saying, "Old ministers, what should we do with Dong Zhuo's body?"

Wang Yun looked outside the hall, and replied casually, "The old minister thinks that the corpse of the traitor Dong Zhuo should be hung on the tower of Chang'an, so that the people in Chang'an can see the death of the brutal man, and relieve the worries of the people who were hurt by Dong Zhuo. "

When Zhang Ming heard that Wang Yunzhi's words were exactly what he wanted, he quickly agreed.

Afterwards, the court council had been discussing how to deal with Dong Zhuo's subordinates. Regarding how to deal with Dong Zhuo's subordinates, Zhang Ming and Wang Yun still had considerable differences.

Wang Yun thought that Dong Zhuo's generals should be killed, and that Dong Zhuo's family and clan should not be spared. At the same time, he confiscated all the wealth that Dong Zhuo looted. Of course, Wang Yun had sent Lu Bu to Meiwu for these things as early as last night. Time to do it.

But Zhang Ming thinks that Dong Zhuo's family really needs to be eliminated, because they have followed Dong Zhuo to do countless outrageous things, and it doesn't matter if they are all executed.

But Dong Zhuo's not general is still of great use, at least for the current Chang'an City, Zhang Ming has almost no available people except for these veterans, and these veterans are subjectively biased towards Wang Yun, so that the current Zhang Ming was very passive.

For example, he didn't want to hand over the forbidden army forces in the palace to Huang Wan's jurisdiction, because Huang Wan had a deep relationship with Wang Yun, and besides, Huang Wan didn't have the ability to manage the army, just high qualifications.

Zhang Ming is more willing to hand over the power of commanding the imperial forces to Dong Zhuo's generals, at least they really have the ability.

Especially a counselor like Li Ru can advise him.

Because Dong Zhuo came in a hurry last night, he didn't ask Li Ru to go to the palace with him. When Li Ru learned that Dong Zhuo was dead, Lu Bu's army had already surrounded Li Ru's mansion with water, and then escorted him to Wang Yun. government.

The final result of the court discussion was that Huang Wan would continue to serve as the Taiwei and continue to be in charge of all the forces of the Forbidden Army, but Li Ru was handed over to His Majesty, and Wang Yun did not ask about the result.

This is already the biggest result that Zhang Ming has won. He actually wanted half of the imperial army, but to no avail. In the end, he only won Li Ru.

But that's enough.

Then Zhang Ming ended the court meeting with the reason that I have not recovered yet and need to rest.

After all the ministers left Weiyang Palace, Zhang Ming sighed.

Afterwards, the guards were asked to dispose of Dong Zhuo's body according to Wang Yun's arrangement. After all, putting it in the palace really hindered travel, it was too bad luck, and it was uncomfortable to watch.

But Zhang Ming continued to return to the bedroom, and now he no longer went to the Gaomen Hall, after all, that place was only used to confuse Dong Zhuo, and now that Dong Zhuo was dead, it was useless to keep that place.

He asked Cui Ming to restore the place to its original purpose.

As for Zhang Ming himself, it is true that his body has not fully recovered, so he can only go back to rest first.
