A banquet.
After He Jin left, they parted on bad terms.
Who would have thought that the one who made things difficult was not He Jin, but Yan Chuan?
Overnight.
The weather in Luoyang changed.
With the North Army as the leader, the three great armies were all empty.
Not to mention the lieutenant, even the military marquis leading the 500 soldiers was suspended and restrained from going out.
The court meeting was not held.
Liu Hong used his illness as an excuse to block He Jin, Yuan Kui, and the others outside the palace gates. Even the North Palace was closed by Zhao Zhong and the guards, not giving He Jin, Dong Zhuo, and the others the opportunity to meet Empress Dowager Dong and Empress He.
For a time, the temple was in a precarious situation.
General Manor.
The hall was in a mess.
Yuan Kui, Dong Zhuo, and the others gathered together with ugly expressions.
He Jin sat in the main seat and said hatefully," The emperor has closed the palace and the army is being held back by Yan Chuan. Everything is waiting for the construction of the Eight Schools of West Park. This is our lifeline. How dare the emperor let Yan Chuan do this!?"”
"Yes, I am!"
Yuan Kui's eyes were filled with confusion.
Ever since Yan Chuan returned from the Jade Gate, the burly man had changed.
The Yang family had withdrawn from the core of the government, the Yuan family's military power had been cut off, and now, even He Jin's power had been stripped away. Once the construction of the West Park Eight Schools was successful, what would He Jin, the Great General, be? An empty mansion in charge of grain and equipment?
What Zhang Rang taking Zhang Wen's place? This was an imperial edict on behalf of the emperor!
"Hey!"
Dong Zhuo was upset.
He was only here to ask for the position of governor of Bingzhou. How could he be involved in such a mess?
The change in the structure of the court was far more terrifying than the killing at the border, especially the situation where he was the fish on the chopping block!
"Just wait!"
Yuan Kui's face was gloomy." We are now in the hands of Yan Chuan alone. The Emperor is waiting, and we are also waiting. No matter what, we have to fight for the position of West Park's Eight Schools. The Emperor does not dare to hold all the power in his hands. Otherwise, he will not be able to govern the country!”
"Humph!"
He Jin snorted angrily.
At the residence of the Marquis of Beiliang.
In the study room.
Yan Chuan looked at the silk cloth and said helplessly,"Wen He, what do you think the emperor is thinking? How should I rank the eight schools of West Park in order to enter the normal world?"”
"Yan Jiang!"
Jia Xu shook his head and said in a deep voice," What you need to do is not balance. Instead, you need to pile all the military positions on the Emperor's side and leave the rest to the Emperor to make decisions. Only he can balance the court. That is the safest method!”
"Oh?"
Yan Chuan's eyes lit up.
Jia Xu nodded and said," The Supreme General is the Emperor, and the commander of the military academy is Jian Shuo. The rest will be Lu Zhi, Cao Cao, and the others. Then, we will send them to the palace and let the Emperor decide again. The rest has nothing to do with us!"”
"Not bad!"
Yan Chuan nodded.
Then, he wrote Cao Cao, Lu Zhi, Huangfu Song, and the others on the silk cloth.
Liu Hong did not die.
The Han Dynasty has not yet died.
He had already done enough without restraint.
If he took the initiative to balance the court, he would definitely be feared by Liu Hong.
At sunset.
Yan Chuan's plan for the Eight Schools of West Park was sent to Nangong.
In the study.
Liu Hong glanced at the military system.
In the end, he set his eyes on the name of the eight military officers.
"Jian Shuo?"
Zhang Rang frowned.
He instantly understood that he was now Da Changqiu.
It would be too much of a target if he were to serve as a lieutenant in an army. Since Jian Shuo had just been promoted to a trusted aide, it would be just right for him to be a lieutenant in a military academy.
Zhang Rang bowed and said,"Your Majesty, General Yan is concentrating all his power on Minister Lu's side. He's really thinking for the sake of the Great Han!"”
"No!"
Liu Hong shook his head.
" Your Majesty," Jian Shuo said doubtfully," Isn't it better for the court if the Great General loses his power?"”
"Alright?"
Liu Hong said mockingly," The most important thing in the court is balance. If the power really falls on Lu Zigan and the others, they might be the next He Jin in a few years. Yuan Kui, Yan Chuan is too confident in them!”
"This servant is ignorant!"
Zhang Rang and Jian Shuo said respectfully.
Liu Hong narrowed his eyes and said," He Jin can't be in charge of the military anymore. This person has no flaws. Once he obtains power, he will not put the world in his eyes. Even I will be forced to step by step by him. Yuan Kui and Yuan Feng can't either!”
"Then?"
Zhang Rang asked doubtfully.
Liu Hong took a deep breath and said in a deep voice,""I will personally assume the position of Supreme General. The Military Academy Lieutenant will still be Jian Shuo, the Central Army Lieutenant Yuan Shao, the Lower Army Lieutenant Bao Hong, the Commanding Army Lieutenant Cao Cao, the Left Assistant Army Lieutenant Zhao Rong, the Right Assistant Army Lieutenant Feng Fang, the Left Assistant Army Lieutenant Yuan Shu, and the Right Assistant Army Lieutenant He Miao!”
"Two seats in the Yuan Clan?"
Zhang Rang's eyes were filled with worry.
Liu Hong said disdainfully," Commanders of the eight armies, the power is in my hands. He Miao is the second son of the Yuan family, and he has three armies. My men have five armies. No matter how ambitious He Jin is, he will not be able to overturn the world. However, you need to be vigilant against Dong Zhuo. He is as small as a tiger or a wolf. The army under his command must not cross the river!”
"Here!"
Zhang Rang said respectfully.
"Da!"
"Da!"
"Da!"
Liu Hong knocked on the table and said in a deep voice,""Jian Shuo, go and draft an edict and spread the edict of the eight military officers to the four directions. As for Yan Chuan's outstanding achievements in entering the capital this time, I really have nothing to reward him with!”
"Here!"
Jian Shuo said respectfully.
Zhang Rang thought for a long time and respectfully said,"Your Majesty, since General Yan is like the sun in the sky in Beiliang, why don't you take this opportunity to transfer to Luoyang?"”
"No!"
Liu Hong's eyes were filled with sharpness as he sneered,""Yan Chuan's achievements are too great, and he has acted so brazenly in Luoyang this time. He Jin, Yuan Shi, Dong Zhuo, and the others hate him to the bone. Now that he has entered the court, he will be the next Duan Yu.”
"Here!"
Zhang Rang replied with a bitter smile.
Yan Chuan had advanced too quickly.
The main thing was that his appearance was too coincidental.
Liu Hong was forced by the three clans and had no one to use.
Yan Chuan had returned from the Jade Gate. In order to fight against the three clans and raise his status, he was conferred the title of Marquis of the four counties.
Half a year later, the five countries were subdued, and the small Yue family was granted the title of General of Flying Cavalry, splitting the north. After the battle of the Yellow Turban, they were incorporated into the Xiliang counties.
And now.
Yan Chuan's power was already at the peak of the big man.
In fact, he was above the three dukes, which was why he could run amok in Luoyang.
"Your Majesty!"
Zhang Rang was suddenly stunned.
"What? What reward have you thought of?" Liu Hong asked curiously.”
"Gulp!"
Zhang Rang gulped and said respectfully,"Your Majesty, when the title of nobility was first determined, there was still one rank above Marquis. More than a hundred years ago, the Rites Scholar Dai Sheng wrote down the Book of Rites and the royal system, and it was recorded as the position of five ranks!”
Liu Hong frowned and said," The rank of Hanjue is 20. It's not conferred according to the book of Saint Dai. This is against the ancestral system!"”
Zhang Rang said respectfully," Your Majesty, you only need to give him a title and not grant him a fief. Anyway, he governs the people of Beiliang, and there is no difference in the fief. This will calm the heart of the Marquis of Beiliang, and it will also show Your Majesty's great grace and boost the morale of the officials!”
"Duke?"
Liu Hong muttered to himself.
