#2454 - Gongsun Zan's rise to power
Xun Shuang, Cai Yong and others, in addition to looking at Empress Dowager He and His Majesty, also kept their eyes on the old man who exuded a strong aura of old age under a dragon pillar in the main hall.
That’s right, this country-guarding being actually showed up!
The sky is collapsing!
At this time, the Han Dynasty gave them the feeling that it was a sign of the collapse of the world.
This is completely different from the previous situation.
Although they already had a deep bond with Lin Mu, they still had feelings for the Han Dynasty and really didn't want to see it being destroyed so easily by these idiots. If Lin Mu personally led his troops to destroy the Han Dynasty, they wouldn't say anything, but if it was destroyed by these guys, they would really be sorry for their ancestors.
Therefore, the two of them attended the court meeting at the invitation of Lu Zhi and others.
The appearance of that entity did not attract much attention, because many officials did not recognize it at all, and were not even sure of its existence.
Even officials like He Jin had rarely seen him.
However, this person did not say anything about Empress Dowager He's behavior of sitting directly next to the dragon throne and giving orders, as if she tacitly agreed.
In fact, it is true. This person has lived for such a long time and experienced so many generations of emperors. He has seen all kinds of disgusting scenes. There have been many cases where the empress dowager has ruled the country behind the curtain.
Moreover, other people only heard about the chaos in the imperial palace, but this person was able to see it with his own eyes. So what was so surprising about that?
So, what is the purpose of this person coming out this time?
Cai Yong, Xun Shuang and others knew some of the inside story, and their faces darkened. Could it be that they were targeting Lin Mu?
After that, the report began.
The first person to stand up was General He Jin.
"Your Majesty, now the drought demon has reappeared in China, disrupting the celestial phenomena and making the people miserable. As a result, many people have become bandits, and bandits are rampant in various states and counties. I request Your Majesty to send capable generals to wipe out the drought demon and encircle and suppress those traitors." He Jin bowed and asked.
The first topic was the drought demon and banditry.
Hearing his uncle He Jin's words, Liu Bian shuddered, then looked at the crowd of ministers below with some fear, and his whole body trembled again.
In this situation, Liu Bian was so frightened that he couldn't speak a word.
Liu Feng, Zhu Xuan and others were disappointed when they saw Liu Bian's appearance. No wonder it was the end of the Han Dynasty. How could this emperor with super social phobia save the precarious Han Dynasty?
Seeing this, old ministers such as Xun Shuang, Cai Yong, and Lu Zhi were also extremely disappointed. The eldest son, Liu Bian, was not worthy of being an emperor.
However, Empress Dowager He next to her gently touched Liu Bian's little hand, blinked her eyes, and gestured.
"Your Majesty, if we allow those bandits to continue doing evil, our richest counties may become empty. This is a monstrous disaster that will shake the foundation of the country! Your Majesty, please be cautious!" Officials immediately stood up to support He Jin.
Liu Biancai then said timidly, "What good general can you recommend, General?"
"Zhao Ying, the adopted son of Changshi Zhao and the commander of the Sword and Axe Army, is a good general. We can send him to lead the three armies of Xiyuan and half of the Sword and Axe Imperial Guards to go out of the capital, kill the drought demon, and bring peace and prosperity to our Han Dynasty." He Jin did not play tricks and directly stated his real purpose.
Zhang Rang, Zhao Zhong and others standing on the stair hall suddenly changed their expressions when they heard this.
Not only did he kill Jian Shuo, but now he even wants to deal with Zhao Ying who had just been introduced. He Jin is really going too far!
Zhu Xuan, Liu Feng and others in the queue at the bottom of the stairs frowned when they heard this. Who is Zhao Ying? Why does he seem so important? But there doesn't seem to be such a person in real history? Is he a player?
The players in the field were slightly surprised. Unfortunately, they had never seen Zhao Ying's appearance, but only heard of her. They originally thought that she was just a bystander, and there was no need to even mention her name.
"Your Majesty, no!" Just when Liu Bian was about to agree to He Jin's proposal, Zhang Rang, Zhao Zhong and others immediately stepped forward to stop him.
"Your Majesty, Senior Colonel Jian Shuo was just killed by bandits in a strategic area of the imperial palace. Now that the situation has just stabilized, the commander of the imperial guards must not be moved lightly. General He Jin's move is full of evil intentions. He wants to send all the good generals away so that he can control the imperial guards and all the military forces in the capital, and then act like a powerful official. There may even be... signs of rebellion, endangering the safety of your majesty." Zhang Rang said in a deep and emotional voice.
Wow, he is indeed the king of passing the buck, directly accusing He Jin of rebellion.
"Eunuch, how dare you arbitrarily accuse this great general of the crime of treason? Are you looking for death?" He Jin said angrily.
"Without any evidence, they are spreading rumors and deceiving Your Majesty. I hope Your Majesty will directly punish these old eunuchs." Yuan Shao stood up and shouted, unwilling to be outdone.
Hearing the quarrel below, Liu Bian, who had been timid at first, calmed down instead. It was because he was used to hearing about the quarrels in the previous court meetings.
Zhang Rang's request instantly calmed down the noisy court.
There is no other reason. Isn't the eunuch camp constantly weakening the power of the foreign relatives camp? Why are they pushing the Xiyuan Army to the foreign relatives camp?
Yuan Shao, Cao Cao, Gongsun Zan and others were thoughtful after hearing this. Zhang Rang's move had a profound meaning.
Soon they all looked at He Jin. As expected, He Jin looked very unhappy at this moment.
If Dong Zhong were to lead the Xiyuan Army, wouldn't that mean he would be suppressed? How could he dominate the Dragon Court?
"Your Majesty, General Dong Zhong is just a figurehead and does nothing." He Jin retorted immediately.
"Your Majesty, I have a good choice, the captain of Xiyuan, Gongsun Zan. He is a brave and resolute man, both courageous and resourceful. He once defeated the foreign tribes in Youzhou so badly that they dared not raise their heads. Later, he came to the capital to share the worries of the late emperor. He is a good choice. I recommend him to be the captain of the upper army." In an emergency, He Jin pushed Gongsun Zan out.
Upon hearing this, Gongsun Zan's face suddenly changed.
The people in the field were not as stupid as He Jin. They immediately guessed some clues from He Jin's words.
How could Zhang Rang, Zhao Zhong and others, who were shrewd people, not understand it?
Gongsun Zan has betrayed his camp!!!
"Your Majesty, you can let General Dong Chong lead the army to fight against Hanba and wipe out the bandits in the world." At this time, an official from He Jin's faction stood up and said.
"Yes...that's right...that's right, General Dong Chong can go to the battlefield and fight the bandits." He Jin also realized at this time that Dong Chong could not be kept in Beijing.
Dong Zhong, who had been silent all this time, now stared at He Jin fiercely.
This guy wants to weaken the influence of their Dong family in Shendu. This is digging out the roots of their Dong family. How can I not be angry!
"Haha... the general just said that I am just sitting there doing nothing, but now he changed his mind and asked me to lead the troops to fight. Why are his words so contradictory? Could it be that he changes his mind at any time like Duan Yexiang's servants?" Dong Zhong immediately retorted.
Afterwards, officials from Dong Zhong's faction immediately came out to support him, and the court became lively again.
However, many of them felt uncomfortable, including Gongsun Zan who was in the limelight.
At this moment, he really hated He Jin. He was an important trump card in this fight. Now that his cards were exposed, he had lost a lot of opportunities.
However, what puzzled many people was that Zhang Rang, Zhao Zhong and others actually agreed to He Jin's recommendation and made Gongsun Zan the [Captain of the Upper Army].
That’s right, without Lin Mu’s help, Gongsun Zan became the biggest winner.
As for the general who would lead the army to fight against Hanba and suppress the bandits, there was no one who would do it. Even the courageous Cao Cao volunteered, but he was suppressed.
Seeing the situation in the court, Boss Cao also wanted to leave the capital with a large force. But neither the foreign relatives camp nor the eunuch camp would let Cao Cao, Gongsun Zan and others leave.
As for Yuan Shao, who cares if he falls in love with him. If it weren't for the support of Taifu Yuan Wei and others, they would have taken Yuan Shao down long ago.
"Cough cough!" At this time, the old man who had been standing for a long time without making a sound made a noise.
Xun Shuang, Cai Yong and others immediately turned their attention, because they were a little afraid of what this person would do next. I hope he doesn't mention Lin Mu, who is about to become transparent!
However, what we fear most is that what comes will happen.
"This old minister has something to say!" The old man who was being watched by Xun Shuang and others did not respond, but looked at Liu Bian indifferently and spoke slowly in a hoarse voice.
After hearing the old man's voice, some officials wanted to step forward and ask about his identity, but were stopped. It was obvious that some people knew and some did not.
When Empress Dowager He heard his voice, her whole body trembled and a hint of fear appeared in her eyes, so she did not respond immediately.
Emperor Liu Bian, who was sitting on the dragon throne, was even more afraid of the old man. He was not good at speaking to begin with, and now he was frightened as if something was stuck in his throat.
There was no response, but the old man continued: "The late emperor and this old minister once said that when the country is in danger, Lin Mu can be used."
"This time we can use the National Defense Army and the National Protection Army to encircle and suppress the drought demon and eliminate the bandits!" said the old man quietly.
Xun Shuang, Cai Yong and others thought to themselves that something was wrong when they heard this.
"Senior, Lin Mu disobeyed the imperial order and, under the pretext of encircling and suppressing Zhang Ju, has been staying at the border of Youzhou and refusing to return to the capital." Zhang Rang responded immediately.
"When a general is away from home, he may not obey the orders of the king. Moreover, Zhang Ju claimed to be a king of a different gender, which is extremely treasonous. If he is not eliminated, it will not be enough to demonstrate the majesty of the Han Dynasty." Xun Shuang immediately stood up and responded. Since Lin Mu was put forward, they had to speak up.
"There is no rush regarding Zhang Ju's matter. Let's get rid of Hanba first." The old man looked at Xun Shuang with deep eyes and said quietly.
Being looked at by this person, Xun Shuang felt a chill all over his body. (End of this chapter)
