Chapter 100 Lingdi Tuo Gu
Chapter 100
Gongsun Zan's words attracted Ding Yuan's subordinates to look angrily one by one. On the one hand, the yellow scarf did not leave any grain at all. On the other hand, Ding Yuan also recruited many soldiers along the way. His own food was tight, and there was no food for Gongsun Zan. Besides, with Gongsun Zan's status and talking like this in front of Ding Yuan, which of Ding Yuan's generals is not angry, even if there is food, he is unwilling to give it to Gongsun Zan.
"Hahaha, everyone contributes to the court. Naturally, I can understand the difficulties of Lord Gongsun, but there is not much grain and grass in our army. I'm afraid it can't be dispatched much. However, since Lord Gongsun borrowed food from me, I will naturally support it. I won't let Lord Gongsun go there for nothing. Ding Yuan stretched out his hand and brushed his little beard. Looking at Gongsun Zan, he not only didn't mean to be angry, but he actually agreed to give Gongsun Zan food like this.
"In this case, tonight I will thank the assassins for these sergeants. When the food and fodder are ready, I will naturally send someone to pick it up, and I will leave first. Gongsun Zant did not expect that Ding Yuan would agree, which made it a little difficult for Gongsun Zant to leave, but Gongsun Zant had made up his mind and naturally would not change because of this change.
"In this case, Lord Gongsun, please take your time, and I won't see you off." Ding Yuan smiled faintly on his face.
"Your Excellency, this Gongsun Zan is obviously making things difficult for us. He is just a little eunuch. It's too much to be so arrogant." Seeing Gongsun Zan go far away, Zhang Yang suddenly jumped out and said.
"Although Gongsun Zan is Taishou, he has nothing to do with us. Naturally, he doesn't have to be polite to us. Besides, everyone has come from afar to eliminate the yellow scarf. There are still many opportunities for cooperation in the future, but we can't be too embarrassed." Ding Yuan slowly expressed his opinion.
"My lord, do we really want to give them food? We don't have much food either. Gao Shun on one side raised a practical question.
"Gongsun Zan said this, it's just to test my tongue, but don't care too much about it. If necessary, give them a little bit. Anyway, I'm also the head of a state, and I can't lose other people's mouth for these things." In a few words, Ding Yuan solved these little things.
The next day, Gongsun Zan didn't even say hello, so he set out early and chased the Yellow Turban Army.
Seeing that Gongsun Zan was in a hurry, Ding Yuan was not in a hurry to chase him. Ding Yuan knew that Gongsun Zan wanted to fight a few battles with the yellow scarf in front of him and strive for some credit. However, Ding Yuan did not care about these. He just sent Gao Shun to take 5,000 cavalry and chase Gongsun Zan under his own banner. He must have only 50,000 Gongsun Zan. Soldiers and horses, the lonely army is likely to be surrounded and defeated by the Yellow Turban Army, and these 5,000 cavalry can help Gongsun Zan at this time.
As for Gongsun Zan's other army, it was divided into several roads and drove to the surrounding counties. Ding Yuan wanted to quickly take down these counties and clean up the mess left by the yellow scarf as soon as possible.
A few months later, the news finally came from the direction of Montenegro, saying that Zhang Jiao died after hearing the news that Zhang Bao was killed. Of course, another said is that Zhang Jiao speculated on the heavenly machine without authorization. As a result, he was punished by God and taken back by God. No one knows the real situation. As for Zhang Liang, after Zhang Jiao's death, he led the Yellow Turban Army and Ding Yuan, Gongsun Zan, Yuan Shao and others to fight one after another, but they were also killed by the soldiers because of the unfavorable war. So far, the magnificent and vigorous Yellow Turban Uprising in China has come to an end and is covered by the dust of history.
At this time, on the grassland, the matter of the Xianbei tribe's mobilization of soldiers and horses with the wrong intentions seems to have been diluted, and there was no expected war. Maybe the Yellow Turban Army failed too fast, so that the Xianbei people did not expect it.
In Luoyang City, large and small shops in Luoyang are lighting up at this time, celebrating another crisis in the Han Dynasty. In the court, many princes and ministers are discussing how to talk about the reward of merit. The Yellow Turban Uprising must have also made the court turbulent. Many officials are implicated, and the power in the court should also change.
"Your Majesty, relying on the majesty of the court this time, although the Yellow Turban Rebellion has been pacified, the huge hidden dangers in the court cannot be eliminated. Otherwise, the court will be restless, and the people will not be able to live in peace. Maybe there will be chaos again, and the people will not live." Yuan Kui, the head of the civil officer, suddenly came out and said to Emperor Ling.
"I don't know who the hidden danger mentioned by Aiqing is?" The Ling Emperor raised his shriveling eyelids and asked gently. This Lingdi was originally proud and luxurious, but now his health is getting worse day by day.
"The disaster in the court is the ten servings. This matter is known all over the world, but only the emperor does not know it." After listening to Emperor Ling's question, before Yuan Kui could speak, a man next to him came out and said that this man was Huangfu Song, who made great contributions when he wiped out the yellow scarf.
"The bold Huangfu Song actually disturbed the holy hearing. Didn't you say that the emperor didn't know people well?" Suddenly, a shrill voice shouted, but it was Zhang Rang, who was standing beside Emperor Ling. The old slave is loyal to the Lord. Even if there is any consideration, it is just that the old slave is not well planned by the Lord. Although the world can only serve the emperor, it is the blessing of the old slave. The emperor should not listen to slander. Zhang Rang cried while talking, and he couldn't stop grabbing the ground with his head, which moved the Ling Emperor.
In the heart of Emperor Ling, the whole world includes ministers of literature and martial arts. Anyone who can live without himself as an emperor can live. Only these eunuchs can only die if they leave themselves, so what Emperor Ling believes most is the eunuchs.
"Huangfu Song, you fought in Yingchuan, and you lost a lot. I miss your loyalty and didn't cure your sins. It has been gracious, but you rely on your own merits and slander the ten servings, which is really sinister. Come on, put this Huangfu Song into the prison and wait for it to fall. Emperor Ling's voice was haggard, but he dealt with the minister with vigor and did not hesitate at all.
"Your Majesty, be kind. General Huangfu didn't want to lose his words. Please read it for his loyalty." Yuan Kui took the lead in kneeling down and begged for Huangfu Song.
"Get up, you all. I just let him think about it. When he figured it out, he would let it out." As soon as Emperor Ling said this, Yuan Kui and others were all confused and couldn't understand what Emperor Ling meant. However, Zhang Rang knew that Emperor Ling was just looking for a reason to suppress these forces in the court.
You should know that after the Yellow Turban Rebellion, scholars and He Jinde have made great contributions. In this way, the original balance of the court will naturally be destroyed, so the Ling Emperor has to take the opportunity to suppress it, otherwise it will be difficult for the Ling Emperor to master the balance in the future.
On this day, Emperor Ling suddenly called Sai Shuo in front of him.
"Sai Shuo, which of my two sons do you think is more suitable to inherit my position?" The Spirit Emperor's two eyelids were shrugged and said weakly.
These days, the Spirit Emperor is getting worse day by day. Obviously, he is terminally ill and will die soon. At this time, when he suddenly asked about Sai Shuo's words, Sai Shuo was so shocked that he broke out in a cold sweat. You should know that this kind of royal event is not what Saishuo, the little yellow door, said, but the Lingdi asked Saishuo now, and it is not easy for Saishuo not to answer.
At this time, Sai Shuo's mind turned around. The Ling Emperor's favorite is the youngest son Liu Xie, but the eldest son Liu Wei is the eldest son. According to the rules, he should have an eldest son. Besides, Liu Wei's uncle is He Jin. When the general of the dynasty, he holds heavy soldiers in his hand, so the Ling Emperor is worried about this matter, but it is not easy to solve.
"I think that the second prince is smart, kind and erudite. If he can inherit the throne, it will be a blessing for the world." Sai Shuo observed the expression of Emperor Ling and said carefully word by word.
"Well, I don't think so, but the minister of the court will not agree." Emperor Ling was obviously helpless about this matter. However, the Lingdi immediately insisted and said, "I'll give you a secret decree. You may help me inherit the throne?"
"I will do my best not to be entrusted by the emperor." After listening to the words of the Spirit Emperor, Saishuo was shocked, but he also knew that this kind of thing could not be considered by Saishuo. If Saishuo did not agree immediately, I'm afraid that the Spirit Emperor would kill him immediately.
"Okay, everything will be entrusted to you. I'm waiting for your good news under the nine springs." With that, Emperor Ling pointed to his pillow.
Saishuo reached out and touched it under the pillow, but took out a written edict. I don't know when the spirit emperor wrote it. Saishuo didn't know it at all. He secretly opened it and turned out to let his youngest son Liu Xie inherit the edict of Datong.
Watching Saishuo take out the imperial edict and stuff it into his arms to install it, the Lingdi finally nodded, closed his eyes, and died.
At this time, Saishuo got the imperial edict of the Spirit Emperor, and he did not dare to stay. He immediately turned his head and looked for Zhang Rang and left.
At this time, at Zhang Rang's residence, Zhang Rang was discussing with several eunuchs.
"Your Majesty's body is getting worse day by day now. In case the emperor really goes, what will happen to everyone in the future?" An old eunuch looked at the crowd and sighed.
"Well, He Jin is just a pig killer. If we hadn't praised him, he would still sell meat on the street. There could be today's wealth there, but now it has become a climate. If this person is not eliminated, how can we live in peace?" Another eunuch said coldly.
"But for now, I still have to find a backer first, otherwise as soon as your majesty's big tree arrives, we will be doomed." Zhang Rang narrowed his eyes and said slightly.
At this moment, a eunuch broke in in a panic. When everyone saw it, it turned out to be Sai Shuo.
"Saishuo, haven't you been summoned by your majesty? Why are you so panicked when you come here? Zhang Rang saw Sai Shuo running in in a panic and said unhappily.
"Guys, please look at this." Saishuo didn't say much, but he took out an imperial edict from his arms and handed it to Zhang Rang.
"This." After reading the imperial edict, Zhang Rang frowned, but began to meditate.
"Just now, just after Your Majesty gave me this secret decree, Your Majesty, Your Majesty died." Sai Shuo saw that Zhang Rang had read the imperial edict and said another amazing news.
