The Reincarnation of Lu Bu at the End of the Han Dynasty

Prior to this, the Xianbei people had always been the confidant of the Han Dynasty, like a gangrene.

More than ten years ago, the Xianbei people rebelled on the border. The first emperor wanted to make Xianbei Shanyu Tanshihuai king and marry him, but Tanshihuai didn't accept it, and instead strengthened the invasion of the Han territory.

After Liu Hong ascended the throne, Xia Yu, the school captain of Huwuhuan, wrote again requesting to crusade against Xianbei.

Therefore, Liu Hong sent Xia Yu to lead the army out of Gaoliu County, Tian Yan led the army out of Yunzhong County, and Zang Min led the Southern Huns Tu Teruo to chase Shan Yu out of Yanmen County. Each led more than 1 cavalry to attack more than 2000 troops outside the Great Wall. inside.Tan Shihuai ordered the three subordinate adults (that is, the current three kings) to lead their crowds to fight each other. Xia Yu and others were defeated. They discarded their talisman seals and luggage, and only led dozens of people to flee back.

Liu Hong was furious, and sent the three of them to prison, and after they were redeemed, they were abolished as common people.

Now that Xianbei's defeat is a complete shame, how can Liu Hong not be happy.

Facing the court congratulations from the officials, Liu Hong accepted them all with a smile, and then brought up a new topic: "Of course it is something to be happy about defeating the Xianbei people, but there is one problem that I haven't been able to distinguish after thinking about it."

When the courtiers heard this, they all chuckled in their hearts, "It's time to show your true talent to Your Majesty", but their faces were extremely humble, and they cupped their hands and asked for advice: "Your Majesty is so stupid, please show me."

Liu Hong raised his left hand that was lying flat on his leg, and waved it forward. A little yellow man quickly walked in front of the officials holding two bundles of bamboo slips.

Looking at the eager expressions of each one below, Liu Hong said: "All of you have a careful look at these two memorials, and identify which one is true and which one is false?"

The two bundles of bamboo slips were passed on one by one, and San Gong read them before passing them on to the military officer.

About half an hour later, the bamboo slips were submitted again.

Seeing that everyone had finished reading it, Liu Hong asked again: "My dear friends, do you think the contents of these two bamboo slips are true or false?"

Facing the questioning gaze cast by the emperor, all the ministers bowed their heads one after another, and no one dared to return.

Chongde Hall fell into dead silence for a while.

Liu Hong's originally festive face gradually turned gloomy, and there was a bit of chill in his smile.

At this time, someone beside him suddenly heard saying: "Your Majesty, this old slave has heard someone mention that Zhang Yi, the Governor of Bingzhou, is respectful and modest, with a wide faith, and I think he will not lie when his term expires, Your Majesty."

Finally someone responded, and Liu Hong also got a step up. While nodding repeatedly, he did not forget to glance admiringly at the old eunuch who had been in charge of the palace for nearly 20 years.

This eunuch with slightly white temples, wearing an embroidered uniform and a long black crown is named Zhang Rang, and he is serving as a regular servant.Without Liu Hong's knowledge, he took advantage of the emperor's favor to plunder everywhere, and was known for his arrogance and greed. When he asked to see Zhang Rang's guests in Luoyang, he often parked hundreds of thousands of carriages at the door, blocking the palace. door, scrambling to bribe him in order to get high officials and riches.

In addition to Zhang Rang, there are also 12 other people, including Zhao Zhong, Xia Yun, Guo Sheng, Sun Zhang, Bi Lan, Li Song, Duan Gui, Gao Wang, Zhang Gong, Han Kui, and Song Dian. The brothers were officials in various states and counties, corrupt and cruel, and the emperor didn't know it, so the common people called them "ten regular servants".

Seeing Zhang Rang speaking, someone in the originally quiet court began to speak out.

"I think what Zhang Changshi said is true, so I seconded the proposal."

"That's right, I also remember that Zhang Yi is indeed not a person who speaks nonsense, and I also agree with him."

"The minister agrees..."

More and more people on the civilian side spoke up to second the proposal, but on the side of the military officer, few people spoke up.

"This old eunuch, I don't know how much money Zhang Yi has collected behind his back!"

"Who doesn't know that Zhang Yi served as governor of Bingzhou at the beginning, it was the idea of ​​your middle school."

"A group of rootless things will get rid of you all sooner or later!"

Many of the courtiers dared to be angry but did not dare to speak, they could only secretly curse Zhang Rang and others in their hearts that they would die in the future.

Most of the military officers turned their attention to the middle-aged man who was not tall and a little short at the front.

Just when the emperor was about to make a decision, the short man with a bushy beard said, "Your Majesty, although I have never met General Zhenbei, he has won the trust of the late emperor and has been in Bingzhou for nearly 20 years. So far, no Xianbei person has ever set foot in Yanmen Pass. His loyalty and bravery can be seen, and it is definitely not the case that the governor Zhang Yi said in the briefing, commanding randomly, and not daring to fight."

As soon as this person's words came out, there was no sound from the civil servant's side, and it fell silent again.

This man has an absolute right to speak in the court, and almost no one dares to provoke him, the chariot general He Jin.In addition, he is still the elder brother of the current empress, the people in the court call him General He, but who dare not call him Uncle Guo when he comes out of the Chongde Hall?

Moreover, the Luoyang aristocratic family and the aristocratic families from all over the world seem to be particularly optimistic about this man, and many children of the aristocratic family are working for him.

As soon as He Jin made a sound, most of the military officers behind him gained confidence and began to agree to second the proposal.

There are only a small group of people at the back on both sides of the civil and military, who neither agree nor refute, fearing to get angry, quietly facing the 'dumb'.

Hearing He Jin's opinion, Liu Hong felt that it was quite reasonable, but which side should he listen to?

After thinking about it, Liu Hong couldn't help but feel a little melancholy: "Oh, father (e) and General Che Qi have their own reasons, which makes it even more difficult for me to decide."

In the midst of a dilemma, Liu Hong suddenly thought of a person, his eyes quickly searched in the queue of civil servants, and soon settled on the courtier with a yellow complexion who was slightly forward, and said with a smile: "Huang Shizhong, I remember You usually have a lot of ideas for plans. Come on, tell me how to make a decision."

Huang Wan, the waiter who was named, showed a smile uglier than crying. Liu Hong actually threw such a hot potato to himself at this time. Isn't it clear that he is trying to trick me to death!As long as you are not blind, you should be able to see that this is not a matter of who is right and who is wrong. It has clearly risen to the group conflict between He Jin and Zhang Rang. No matter which side is right, it will definitely offend the other side. .

At the beginning, Huang Wan offended the powerful because of his upright words, was framed as a crony, and was imprisoned for more than [-] years. If it wasn't for Taiwei Yang Ci's recommendation, how could he be in his current position.

Having learned the lesson from last time, Huang Wan is always careful in officialdom.Now living in the court, Huang Wan is even more cautious, and being with a king is like a tiger is not a joke.Facing the emperor's question, Huang Wan walked out of the line and saluted. Before he could think of a complete answer, he could only reluctantly cope with it: "Reporting to Your Majesty, I have no contact with Zhang Yi and Zhang Zhong on weekdays. I also know very little..."

Liu Hong frowned, Huang Wan's answer was obviously perfunctory, how could I spare you.

"but……"

Huang Wan sneaked a glimpse of Liu Hong's subtle expression of murderous intent, immediately changed his words, and said again: "Does your majesty still remember that there was a person mentioned in the memorial notes of the two of them——Lv Bu?"

Liu Hong frowned gradually, as if there was such a name in the memorial, and nodded to Huang Wan, "Go on."

Seeing that the emperor's anger had eased, Huang Wan's heart was half relieved, "Zhang Zhong said that Lv Bu had the power to defeat the enemy, and he was listed as the general of Suibian, but Zhang Yi said in the memorial that Lv Bu killed the enemy. Captain Zheng You should be executed. Since both of them have mentioned this person in their memorials, why not call him to Luoyang and order him to be interrogated strictly by Tingwei’s yamen, and he will surely learn a thing or two.”

After Liu Hong heard this, he waved his hand and gave a big praise: "Okay, Aiqing is indeed full of ideas, so I will do as you said."

Huang Wan saw that the Son of Heaven showed his face again, and hurried back to the queue. His heart almost jumped out just now, for fear that Liu Hong would say 'no'.

Just when the courtiers were all overjoyed, Liu Hong added another sentence, "But this time I won't bother Ting Wei, I will come to interrogate him personally!"

"Your Majesty, no!!!"

Liu Hong's words startled Zhang Rang beside him into a cold sweat, and hurriedly dissuaded him: "Then Lu Bu is only a frontier martial artist, how can His Majesty interrogate him personally? If this person behaves misbehavior, wouldn't we be in danger for Your Majesty?" Please take your Majesty's order back and hand it over to Ting Wei for trial."

Ting Wei He Chu immediately came out and threw the ground to Liu Hong and said in a loud voice: "Your Majesty, please hand it over to my humble minister, and I promise to live up to your majesty's trust."

"I think that His Majesty's trial in person will surely achieve a beautiful story that will last forever."

He Jin interrupted abruptly, saying that He Chu belongs to Zhang Rang, if he were to interrogate, Zhang Rang would only need to say a word, and he would have the final say on what Lu Bu said.

Liu Hong also seemed to be interested, "General Che Qi is right, this matter is settled like this!"

"Your Majesty Shengming!"

Liu Hong personally made the decision, and the ministers dared to refute directly without fear of death, so they could only echo with their voices.

After the morning court, all the officials put their hands behind their backs, walked out of the hall leisurely, put on their shoes, put their swords back on their waists, and left.

He Jin was at the end. Today he blocked Zhang Rang twice in a row, which made him very comfortable.
