The Most Romantic of the Three Kingdoms

Zhao Zhong was reminded by his disciples to increase his attention to Xun Zhen, which was beneficial to Xun Zhen, but also disadvantageous.

Let’s talk about the downside first, the big tree attracts the wind, and the reputation goes up, and if there is no strong backstage, then it is likely to suffer a heavy blow from the eunuch, to kill the chicken to show the monkeys, as an example. If Yuan Shao is so strong in the background, Zhang Rang, Zhao Zhong, etc. may not be able to do anything, at least before they tear their faces, they can't clean up Yuan Shao, because although the power of eunuchs is strong, they do not want to offend Yuan until the time of life and death. , after all, Yuan's power is also very strong, and his disciples are all over the world. But someone like Xun Zhen, whose reputation is getting bigger and bigger and whose backstage is not as hard as Yuan Shao, is very likely to encounter danger at this time. If not, he is familiar with the trend of history, and when he made the decision to kill Zhao, he had already figured out a way out, so even if Zhao Zhong wanted to kill him, it would be difficult to kill him.

Looking at it from another angle, and looking at the favorable side of Xun Zhen, Xun Zhen has now attracted the attention of Zhao Zhong, but it is an improvement to his reputation among the party members, celebrities, and children of the gentry. Anything that is valued by the enemy, Then he must be outstanding in this camp. The more the enemy pays attention, the higher the status of this person in this camp will obviously be. Now that Xun Zhen has gained Zhao Zhong's attention, after he kills the Zhao family, it is conceivable that he will become one of the people in the world.

At that time, even if he still can't reach Yuan Shao's height, at least his status in Yuan Shao's small political group will be more important, and his reputation among scholars in the world will skyrocket. With this foundation, he will be able to get a good position in the future, whether it is to punish an official or to seek a director in the future. For example, during the execution of the eunuch, with his rising status in Yuan Shao's political clique, he is likely to be involved in the decision-making level. Once involved in the decision-making level of such major events, his worth will be completely different. For example, in the future, he will definitely become a more important branch of the lords of the various roads, and he will have the right to speak. He has thousands of elite soldiers who dare to fight. It is "both in name and reality", then it is very likely to get a good site, which is very beneficial, and it will be beneficial for him to participate in the competition in the future.

All in all, the danger of slaughtering Zhao is very great, but this is a matter of great profit. Borrowing the head of the Zhao family in Ye County, in exchange for step by step in the future.

Regarding Zhao Zhong's decision to clean up Xun Zhen, Xun Zhen was far away in Wei County, and he didn't know it yet, but Yuan Shao and He Yong, who were near Luoyang, heard the news. There is no impermeable wall in the world, not to mention the two opposing sides, they naturally pay special attention to each other's whereabouts and movements, so Yuan Shao and He Yong soon knew that Zhao Zhong wanted to clean up Xun Zhen.

He Yong had already met Yuan Shao for this matter, so he came to see Yuan Shao again. As soon as they met, he said, "I heard that Zhao Zhong wanted to falsely accuse Xun Zhenzhi. In the beginning, you and I must save him!"

Yuan Shao replied, "I have written back to him, so he can rest assured that I will certainly help him in this matter."

Seeing that Yuan Shao had not changed his original plan, He Yong was very satisfied, and further said: "Your Majesty and Zhenzhi are in the same prefecture, and Ru and Ying are bordered by the prefecture. The elders have many contacts, and the monarch clan and the Xun clan can be described as family friends. Today, Zhenzhi is the prefect of Wei, and it is all the power of Lai Jun. Now Zhao Zhong wants to falsely accuse Zhenzhi. Then the world will benefit from the monarch!"

Yuan Shao thought so.

Xun Zhen and Yuan Shao were from the prefecture, and the two clans had contacts before. If Yuan Shao didn't save Xun Zhen, the world would definitely be disappointed. This is from Yuan Shao's own reputation, and from the help of Yuan Shao in the future to punish the eunuch, Xun Zhen would definitely be disappointed. Zhen has elite soldiers and righteous followers under his command, and he himself is also a great help. No matter from which aspect, saving Xun Zhen is necessary.

But with Yuan Shao alone, he might not be able to compete with Zhao Zhong, but it doesn't matter, Xun Zhen has long thought of this, so he also sent letters to Wang Yun, Kong Rong, Xun Shuang and others earlier.

After Wang Yun, Kong Rong, Xun Shuang and others received the letter, Wang Yun and Kong Rong were all very curious. They knew Xun Zhen, but at the time they saw that Xun Zhen seemed to be very personable and had a heroic spirit, but they were not at all. Thinking that Xun Zhen dared to oppose the Zhao family, this is very remarkable. Kong Rong and Wang Yun both hated eunuchs, and they were both jealous of evil. Now that Xun Zhen has offended Zhao Zhong, of course they have to help each other.

Wang Yun is a famous person in the world. Although Kong Rong is younger than Wang Yun, he is already famous in the world. Moreover, both of them are from famous families. The Wang family is the crown family of the state and the county. The two personally came forward to advocate for Xun Zhen, and for a while, Xun Zhen's name spread all over Yuzhou.

With Yuzhou approaching the capital, the public opinion was created, and the capital also heard about it, and many upright officials in the court that Xun Zhen did not know would naturally help. Xun Shuang also advocated for Xun Zhen very much. Moreover, Xun Zhen was the grandson-in-law of Chen Yu. When Chen Yu died, the general He Jin personally sent people to be mourned, and more than 30,000 people all over the world went to the funeral. This shows the name of Chen Yu, and it is known that Xun Zhen is the grandson-in-law of Chen Yu, not only In Yuzhou and other places, many people in the prefectures around Kyoto came forward to praise Xunzhen, and the public opinion was very large.

But he said that there was a man in the General's mansion named Zheng Tai.

This person is a native of Kaifeng, Henan County. He is called public industry. He has few talents and strategies. He knows that the world will be in chaos. It is similar to what Xun Zhen did when he was in Fanyang Pavilion. , And often lack of food, famous in Shandong, uphold filial piety and integrity, the establishment of the three governments, the public vehicle expedition, all failed to meet, the general He Jin supplemented the government, requisitioned famous people, and this person was the minister of the book.

Xun Zhen did not know Zheng Tai, but Zhang Yan was buried earlier, so Zheng Tai took a few days off and went to Hanoi to hang himself. He heard that Zhao Zhong wanted to punish Xun Zhen, so he went to see He Jin.

Although He Jin was born in a butcher, because of his relatives, he was able to take the high position of the general, but now, he is a model of his predecessor Dou Wu, and he quite wants to do something in the post of the general to punish the eunuch.

His execution is different from Yuan Shao's, but also has similarities.

Yuan Shao's desire to execute the **** is not only for his own interests, but also for the interests of the gentry. Because Yuan Shao is a member of the gentry, and the Yuan clan is one of the most powerful clans, Yuan Shao's own interests are actually closely related to the overall interests of the gentry. Yes, and He Jin's execution of the eunuchs is for his own interests. For example, many garrison troops in Luoyang are under the control of eunuchs. Although He Jin is a general, he can't command them. This will definitely harm He Jin. The interests of the Han Dynasty even threatened his personal safety, not only in military power, but also in political affairs. The general of the Han Dynasty not only has military power, but also can discuss politics. Therefore, for his own interests and power, He Jin was punished. But he only punished the officials for his own interests and power, and had nothing to do with the gentry.

What is He Jin's origin? The butcher's background is not related to the gentry at all, and he is a foreign relative. Although the foreign relative and the gentry are not as incompatible as the gentry and the eunuch, they are not in harmony. Since the Han Dynasty, especially after the Zhongxing, the court Power struggle has always been three protagonists: relatives, eunuchs, gentry.

When the eunuchs are powerful, the foreign relatives and the gentry may form an alliance, and when the gentry is powerful, the foreign relatives and the eunuchs may form an alliance.

Now is the time when eunuchs are in high power, so He Jin and Yuan Shao have been in close contact with each other, and they can be regarded as allies.

Therefore, He Jin's killing the **** and Yuan Shao's starting point are the same, there are differences, and more can be said to be different, because Yuan Shao represents the interests of the entire class of the nobility, and He Jin is not, but in any case, now he is The one who stood firmly on Yuan Shao's side was actually in a dilemma.

Because his family background was not high, the reason why his sister was favored after entering the palace was because of the help of the eunuch, that is to say, his family was actually closer to the eunuch, so his mother, his sister,— That is to say, the current Empress He, and his younger brother He Miao, are very dissatisfied with him and Yuan Shao and others who are close to him and have the intention of punishing the eunuch.

On the one hand, Yuan Shao and others, who are "outsiders" but have close contacts, and on the other hand, are "family" but are dissatisfied with his mother, sister, brother, and others. He Jin can be said to be in a dilemma now, but although he is in a dilemma, at least for now. He hasn't changed his mind yet.

The general was the first person under the emperors of the two Han dynasties. Since this dynasty, it was usually only awarded to relatives. Since he is such a prominent general, he certainly wanted to grasp the real power and could not bear the eunuchs to divide him. In particular, he couldn't control many of the garrisoned troops in Kyoto. This was like sitting on pins and needles. Therefore, he is now a firm ally with Yuan Shao, and it can be seen from the people he eliminated that the people he eliminated. Most of them were former party members and famous people in the world, or they were officials in his general's mansion, or they were officials in the court. Even Yuan Shao served in the court through his mansion.

Zheng Tai came from a noble family, and was obviously also a first-class party member and celebrity.

He came to see He Jin.

After bowing, he said: "The Xun family of Yingyin has a son, named You, styled Gongda, and his ancestor Xun Tan, the prefect of Guangling, who conspired with the old general Dou Wu to kill the eunuch, and he was imprisoned for the rest of his life. His descendant, Xun Yu, was one of the 'Eight Jun' in the world in the past, and he was called 'The world is good for Xun Bo Xiu', so the Prime Minister Pei also suffered because of the eunuch's leak, and died in prison together with Li Yuanli and others."

He Jin didn't know why he came to see him, so he didn't say anything. He mentioned the name "Xun You" first. He had heard Xun You's name. After he took office as a general, he asked the outstanding children of the famous clans in various states of the world. , Some people have said Xun You, at that time he also had the intention of conquering, UU reading www.uukanshu.com at this time heard Zheng Tai suddenly mention this person, he asked with a smile: "Do you want to recommend this son? I also heard about his name, in the first year of Zhongping, I wanted to recruit him into my mansion, but I heard that he was in the army at that time, so that’s all.”

Zheng Tai shook his head and said, "No."

"Then why did you mention this person?"

"Xun Gongda has followed his father again and again. His name is Xun Yu, and his character is Wenruo. When he was young, He Yong of Nanyang met him. When he saw him in person, he was greatly surprised and called him Wang Zuocai."

He Jin nodded and said, "I have heard of this son's name."

"Xun Gongda also has a clan father named Xun Zhen, whose courtesy name is Zhenzhi. I wonder if the general has ever heard of his name?"

"Did you mean the prefect of Wei County, who was worshipped as the Marquis of Yingyin by the imperial court last year?"

"Exactly."

"How could I not know the name of this person! Since the dynasty has been counted over and over again, there are only a handful of people who have been awarded the title of Marquis before the age of thirty."

"I don't know the Marquis of Yingyin, but I know Xun Gongda, and I heard Gongda say: 'If you are like You, you may be like a tree half a cliff, if you are like the Marquis of Yingyin, you are ten times better than you. '."

"Oh? So, Marquis Xun is a rare talent?"

"Exactly. Now I hear that Zhao Changshi wants to frame Yingyin Hou's crime, I wonder if the general has heard of it?"

"I know about this."

"I know that the general has lofty aspirations and has been recruiting heroes from all over the world since he opened the capital. I secretly think that if this is the case, then when the general of Yingyin will be framed by Zhao Changshi, the general should save him! In this way, the general who rescued the Marquis of Yingyin from danger will not only be grateful to him, but also the general's righteous deeds will be passed down to the world, which will be of great importance to the world, and it will be more beneficial for the general to win the world's heroes."

He Jin heard it, thought for a while, and replied, "Qing Yan is very true! I should help him."
