Chapter 164
In March, Liu Han's war report was sent back to Luoyang. Emperor Liu Hong's face finally showed a hint of joy after a long absence, "Good! The King of Hejian has defeated Wuhuan! Now he has returned with the victorious army!"
Cai Yong: "Congratulations to Your Majesty! Congratulations to the King of Hejian!"
Since his daughter Cai Yan was engaged to the King of Hejian, Cai Yong had no choice but to share the honor and disgrace with the King of Hejian.
Looking at the battle report, Liu Hong thought about the chaos in the Central Plains, "I plan to send the King of Hejian to quell the rebellion. My dear friends, do you have any doubts?"
Liu Han's return from the grassland is definitely not good news for the nobles. They have just been lifted from the party prison, and the suppression of the rebellion has not yet been effective. If the King of Hejian picks peaches, the party prison will probably start again, but they want to stop it. But he was afraid of offending the emperor, so he could only look at the new general.
Due to the Yellow Turban Rebellion, Liu Han was no longer in the Han Dynasty, and He Jin successfully took advantage of the "loophole" and rose from Yin Yi in Henan to a general who held the power of the world's military.
After the rebellion was suppressed and the party was lifted, the gentry made a lot of efforts. At the same time, many powerful gentry had begun to take sides. In addition to the incident last time, He Jin did not have much favorable impression of Liu Han. He stepped out and said: "Your Majesty, I will I thought this move was inappropriate. First of all, changing generals before the battle was a taboo for military strategists. The soldiers on the front line might be defeated because they did not know the generals and generals.
Secondly, the King of Hejian has been fighting for several months. He is already exhausted and needs rest and recuperation. If he is forced to go out to fight, the three armies may not be able to catch him.
Thirdly, since His Majesty lifted the shackles of the party, the suppression of the rebellion has been effective. Although the Yellow Turbans in various places have not been pacified, they have been suppressed and no longer wantonly harass the prefectures and counties. If the King of Hejian is sent at this time, something may happen. "
After He Jin finished speaking, Situ Yuan Wei followed him and walked out of the class train, "General, these are the words of an experienced person who upholds the country. The old minister agrees. I hope your majesty will think twice."
"Subsidiary"
"The minister also agrees."
Liu Hong watched the ministers below stand up one by one, and smiled bitterly in his heart, "It seems that the noble clan is determined not to let the emperor's brother go to suppress the rebellion."
Then, he looked at He Jin with a cold expression, "You really disappoint me! I didn't expect you to still get involved with the nobles. Do you really want to be the emperor's uncle?"
Although He Jin won the position of general, he also completely lost Liu Bian's chance to become emperor.
# Luoyang, the imperial palace.
Today, Cai Yan is no longer the ignorant little girl. At the age of 12, she has gradually grown up.
Today she is wearing a white dress as pure as snow, just like the snowflakes in early spring shining in the is petite, but her face is like delicate porcelain, her skin is as white as jade, and her clear eyes reveal an otherworldly tranquility.
Her hair was gently pulled up by a hosta, making her look even more fresh and eyebrows are slender and curved, like the crescent moon in the spring water, the lips are small, the color is like a light peach blossom, and the fingers are slender, as if they were carved from jade.
It was lightly raining in Luoyang today, and someone behind her held an umbrella for her. She was walking alone on the way out of the palace, with a smile on her face, like a beautiful painting.
Sitting quietly by the lake, looking at the lake, there seemed to be endless thoughts in my figure is reflected on the lake, like a pure white crane quietly admiring its own reflection.
As she grew older, she felt more and more how special it was to be the princess of the river.
Although he is no longer by his side, he keeps giving gifts. The most valuable thing is that he has never been rumored to be close to any woman, which is unique among the entire Han Dynasty.
The noble girl in Luoyang can be said to have two extreme attitudes towards her. She is envious, but mostly jealous, and her piercing eyes make people very uncomfortable.
Therefore, in order not to cause trouble for him, Cai Yan rarely attended gatherings of talented people and beautiful ladies.
Even if it was a palace banquet, she would push her as she could. After all, the position where she sat was too eye-catching. Although she was a princess, due to the Queen Mother's preference, her seat was opposite the Queen. The two of them sat on equal footing. Her father also told His Majesty about this, But His Majesty just smiled and said, "The emperor's younger brother is guarding the frontiers of the Han Dynasty. He has worked hard and achieved great results. His mother also likes his younger brother-in-law. Although he is overly polite, it is not a big deal." The emperor has said this. Although the queen looks good on the outside, she will never feel comfortable in her heart. , so Cai Yan would not go if he could.
"Brother Han, Yan'er misses you."
For two years, the two only communicated through letters. She knew that Liu Han was a man who wanted to do big things, and the love between children was dispensable, but from the letters, Cai Yan could feel his love for her.
# In mid-March, Liu Han returned to Luoyang. The nobles thought that King Hejian would ask for orders to go to war, but they did not expect that King Hejian said nothing about it and had no interest in putting down the rebellion.
"Royal brother, what do you think of the Yellow Turbans' suppression of the rebellion?"
"Your Majesty, I believe that although the Yellow Turban rebels are numerous in number, most of them are refugees who have been hijacked by the rebels and have no fighting power at all. The counter-rebellion army is the elite of the imperial court. They can definitely defeat their spirit in one go and defeat them in one battle. Therefore, my dear brother, please rest assured, my dear brother."
Even his own imperial brother said this. As the emperor, Liu Hong immediately let go of his worries and said, "Okay, since my imperial brother said this, I'm relieved."
Liu Han's words are still very convincing. After all, from the time he went to Bingzhou to today, he has never failed.
Listening to Liu Han's words, the courtiers all suspected that the sun had risen from the west. How could the King of Hejian be so sensible today?
Only a few people felt that something was wrong. Yuan Pang from Chen County, Yuan Wei from Runan, and Yang Ci from Hongnong looked at the confident expression on the King of Hejian, and felt their hearts beat, especially Yuan Pang, who was even more worried.
There was no way, he was the one who was tricked the most, and he had experience.
In the days that followed, King Hejian was also uncharacteristically uncharacteristic. He never interfered with military affairs. Instead, he went to Cai Mansion every day to accompany his princess who had not yet married.
"Is Princess Hejian so powerful? Can she make the inhumane butcher a little more humane?"
Although everyone was puzzled by the Hejian King's actions, it was a good thing that he didn't a few people were worried and kept sending people to keep an eye on them.
# He Jin: "Come here! Let Zhu Jun and Huangfu Song find fighter planes as soon as possible to destroy the Yellow Turbans in Yingchuan and Runan. Don't give the King of Hejian a chance."
"Here!"
On the other side, in the Situ Mansion, Yuan Wei also ordered his servants, "Let Benchu and Gongdao return to their hometown in Ruyang, and bring people to cooperate with Huangfu Song and Zhu Jun to break the deadlock as soon as possible."
"Here."
Yuan Wei didn't want to expose the Yuan family's strength so early. However, the Yellow Turbans in Runan had been raging for more than a month. Although the other party did not send anyone to attack Ruyang, for the sake of the overall situation, the Yuan family could only break the original agreement.
"Tell Gao Dao and Ben Chu that the leader of the thief must be beheaded with his own hands."
Some things cannot be seen in the light, and only the dead can keep them secret.
"Here."
However, if nothing else, something happened. In April, Zhu Jun lived up to expectations and lost.
I finished the exam today and am a little tired. I will update one chapter first and then another chapter during the day. I will start the third update during the holidays.
