Soon, news of the Jizhou incident spread like the wind to the surrounding provinces.
Si Li, which was adjacent to Jizhou, was no exception.
The imperial court received extremely detailed information at once.
Not only that, but they also received a call to arms from Fang Mu of Jizhou that had spread throughout the world-Summon the Yellow Turban remnants from all over the world to Jizhou!
This was brazenly trampling on the authority of the imperial court. This was a rebellion that was even more insolent than Zhang Jiao!
Luoyang, in the court.
A discussion on how to deal with this matter began.
"Your Majesty!"
Among the courtiers, General He Jin was the first to report,""The Yellow Turban remnants, Fang Mu, attacked Ye City and killed Han Fu, the herdsman of Jizhou. He sent a message to all the counties, and all the counties were on the lookout…The Yellow Turban Rebellion is on the verge of reviving!”
"I request that you mobilize your troops to exterminate the rebel army and return peace to the people of Jizhou!”
This was not strange.
Since ancient times, the country has always been weak and destroyed, only the Han Dynasty has been strong and destroyed.
The Great Han Empire had always had one word for both foreign tribes and internal strife:
Fight!
Therefore, under normal circumstances, He Jin's proposal would not be opposed by anyone. Today, the court was only discussing who to send as a general and where to send troops.
Because Young Emperor Liu Bian was young, Empress Dowager He, who was in charge of the court, nodded and said,""Great General controls the armies of the world, do you have any plans for conquest?”
He Jin's eyes flashed with a bright light.
"I request that Minister Lu Zhi be the North Zhonglang General, leading the five northern troops and mobilizing the troops of Yuzhou, Yanzhou, and Qingzhou to quell the rebellion!”
As soon as he opened his mouth, it was earth-shattering."However, it will take time to mobilize the local troops. To quell the rebellion, we should take advantage of the fact that the rebel army has yet to stabilize and act quickly. Therefore, I request that all the troops in the West Garden be transferred under General Lu Zhonglang!”
"In this way, we can quickly gather 15,000 elite soldiers. With General Lu's ability, we can quickly quell the chaos in Jizhou!”
The court was in an uproar.
No one objected to Lu Zhi being the general. After all, when Huangfu Song went to Xiliang to quell the rebellion, Lu Zhi was the only famous general in the Great Han Dynasty. When he quelled the Yellow Turban Rebellion, he had also made outstanding contributions and was very prestigious in the court and the army.
In fact, many of the five schools were Lu Zhi's former generals.
Therefore, everyone could guess that he would be the one to quell the chaos.
The problem was that apart from the northern army, He Jin also wanted to mobilize the West Garden Army!
These two were the Imperial Army that protected the capital!
As for the West Garden Army, it was a new army specially recruited by the Spirit Emperor Liu Hong in order to divide the power of the Great General He Jin!
There were eight lieutenants in the West Garden, about ten thousand of them, and they were directly under the former Emperor Liu Hong…When they were so powerful, even He Jin had to obey their orders!
After Liu Hong's death, this army became the reliance of the eunuchs to fight for power with He Jin. Both sides desperately placed their trusted aides in it to help themselves.
Therefore, the eunuch group would never allow this army to be under Lu Zhi's command!
Who knew how many of his trusted aides would be left after the rebellion was quelled?
Minister Lu Zhi was He Jin's man!
"The Great General's plan is child's play!"
In a moment of desperation, the Ten Attendants, led by Zhang Rang, did not even care about the etiquette of the court and hurriedly said,"The West Garden Army is responsible for guarding the capital and protecting His Majesty. How can they be easily dispatched to the distant Jizhou?!”
Ever since Grand Devil Teacher Liu Xiu ascended the throne, the Great Han Imperial Court had always been the three great powers that fought and fought against each other.
Party members, relatives, and eunuchs.
In the beginning, the emperor promoted his relatives on a large scale to check and balance the scholar-bureaucrats 'clique. Who would have thought that after his relatives gained power, they would actually collude with the clique and wear the same pants…
His relatives also wanted to become an aristocratic family and pass it down forever!
The Emperor had no choice but to use eunuchs who had no children and could only rely on the Emperor's favor to balance the power of his relatives and party members.
This situation had continued to this day.
He Jin had just poisoned Empress Dowager Dong and forced the death of General Dong Zhong. He had become the last powerful relative of the Han Dynasty. The Yuan family was the leader of the party, and they were now urging him to kill the eunuchs!
Seeing He Jin propose such a strategy, how could Zhang Rang and the others not have thought that he wanted to move the West Garden soldiers out of the capital and cut off the wings of these eunuchs?
And then kill him in one fell swoop!
Even if Zhang Rang and the others were beaten to death, they would not let He Jin succeed." I thought that since the Yellow Turban Rebellion, the world has been in turmoil. Liangzhou has been in a large-scale rebellion, and the Wuhuan and Xianbei in the north are also eyeing us covetously…"
"Now that the emperor is young, our Great Han Dynasty really can't endure any more turmoil!”
Zhang Rang stooped and looked at Empress Dowager He."As for pacifying the chaos in Jizhou, it's difficult, but it's also easy. We can follow the example of the previous emperor and recruit Zhang Yan from Black Mountain!”
When Empress Dowager He heard this, her expression changed.""What Zhang Changshi said is to recruit Fang Mu?”
Before Zhang Rang could nod, He Jin shouted,"No!"
"The Ji Prefecture is vast and has a lot of grain. It is one of the top thirteen prefectures of the Great Han Dynasty. How can we hand over such an important place to bandits?”
Grand Tutor Yuan Kui also came out to report,""When their foundation is firm and they occupy Hebei, their ambitions will definitely be even greater. At that time, if they bring hundreds of thousands of soldiers to attack the Si Li, what should we do?!”
"Empress Dowager, Zhang Rang's heresy has bewitched the country and is clearly trying to destroy the foundation of our Great Han.!!”
The position of Grand Tutor was above the three dukes and was the leader of the party.
Therefore, when Yuan Kui opened his mouth, a large group of people in the court immediately echoed,""Zhang Rang's heresy has brought disaster to the country. Empress Dowager, please kill him!”
"Zhang Rang's heresy has brought disaster to the country. Empress Dowager, please kill him!”
"Zhang Rang's heresy has brought disaster to the country. Empress Dowager, please kill him!”
It had to be said that the party group's obsession with killing officials was simply deep in their bones.
It was close to madness!
No one had expected that the court discussion on how to quell the chaos in Jizhou would inexplicably turn into a petition to kill eunuchs!
These party members really wouldn't let go of any opportunity!
After all, as long as the eunuch group was killed, the party members who had been suppressed for a period of time would be able to rise up again and become the masters of the Great Han Imperial Court…Yes, in the eyes of the party members, they were the masters of the Imperial Court!
As for the emperor?
You only need to believe in our party members and watch us clean up the world and govern a prosperous world!
"Empress Dowager, please issue a decree to kill Zhang Rang and the other eunuchs!”
Although He Jin was a little surprised, he did not let go of this opportunity.
He didn't realize that he, the leader of the consorts, had become a knife used by the party.
However, as his sister, Empress Dowager He did not think that Zhang Rang and the others deserved to be killed. Instead, she was furious.
"Is the Great General trying to take advantage of His Majesty's youth and force him to abdicate and seize power?!”
She snapped, her phoenix eyes wide open with a hint of fear.
As the empress dowager, she was the emperor's mother. Even if she was stupid and had no political mind, she knew…that she could not let the relatives and the party members monopolize the power!
So He Jin repeatedly advised her to kill the Ten Attendants of the Eternal, but she didn't want to!
The Empress Dowager was furious, and Liu Bian's face immediately became uneasy.
As for He Jin, Yuan Kui, and the others, although they were somewhat disappointed, they still hurriedly apologized,""We dare not!"
Seeing this scene, among the courtiers.
Cao Cao sneered.
Lieutenant Yuan Shao's eyes were filled with excitement, his venomous eyes silently sizing up the entire scene.
Lu Zhi, who was named by He Jin, sighed to himself.
"Reporting to Empress Dowager, this official believes that in order to pacify Jizhou, there are two ways!”
He went out to report," The urgent plan is to follow the previous emperor's example and appoint Zhang Yan and Guan Hai, the remaining Yellow Turban of Qingzhou, as the provincial governors of Jizhou. In this way, these two people will definitely go to Jizhou and compete with Fang Mu!”
"The Imperial Court can use this time to mobilize the troops of Yuzhou, Yanzhou, and Qingzhou. When all three of them are injured, we can put an end to the chaos in Jizhou!”
"In this way, we can kill three birds with one stone and pacify the bandits in Black Mountain and Qingzhou!”
It had to be said that Lu Zhi was indeed a famous general of the Great Han Dynasty.
This plan was both He Jin and Zhang Rang's suggestion, so Empress Dowager He was very satisfied and immediately issued an edict.
Thus, the confrontation between the relatives, the clique, and the eunuchs came to an end again.
However, after the court meeting, He Jin's expression was gloomy. He felt that his authority had been severely challenged, and the desire to kill an official in his heart grew stronger.
Coincidentally, at this moment, Yuan Shao quietly came to his side."After this incident, the Great General still hasn't realized that it's impossible to rely on the Empress Dowager to kill the eunuchs.”
He Jin turned his head and saw that Yuan Benchu's face was filled with worry for him.
"Cao Mengde, Chunyu Qiong, and I are helping the Great General in the new army of the West Garden, but the power of the eunuchs cannot be underestimated!”
"In addition, the imperial guards guarding the palace have always been under the control of the eunuchs!”
"Great General, if you want to kill an official, you need to show your courage..."
"If you don't make up your mind now and summon the foreign troops into the capital, when will you do it?!”
