Chapter 179 The Chaotic Luoyang Court

Chapter 178: Chaotic Luoyang Court

 Sili, Luoyang, Deyang Hall.

 Looking at the officials who were having a heated discussion, Han Emperor Liu Hong's eyes flashed with a trace of ridicule.

Among the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty, 98% were officials from aristocratic families. Even the emperor Liu Hong had to be careful when dealing with family issues, which fully shows the power of the Han aristocratic families.

However, these officials from aristocratic families have mediocre abilities and only know how to protect family interests. They shirk responsibility whenever something goes wrong. They are actually the biggest worms in the Han Empire.

Now that half of the Han Dynasty has fallen, the officials of the aristocratic families are still quarreling over their own little bit of filth. Little do they know that once the Han Dynasty falls, everything will be easier for the Yellow Turban Rebellion.

Liu Hong turned his attention to the ten chief servants, headed by Zhang Rangjian Shuo, who were standing on both sides of him. A hint of complexity suddenly flashed in his eyes.

 The reason why the ten chief servants were able to cholera Chao Gang can be said to be the result of Liu Hong's deliberate laissez-faire.

If there were no ten chief servants to replace Liu Hong and Zhou Xuan in the family, Liu Hong might still be just a puppet emperor without any rights.

The ten -priest served as eunuchs, and now people are shouting and killing, and only Liu Hong, the emperor who can rely on.

 Liu Hong's purpose in doing this was just to balance the family and stabilize his throne.

 So no matter who in the civil and military circles of the Manchu Dynasty proposed to kill the ten chief servants, Liu Hong would not agree, because it was tantamount to abolishing martial arts.

 At the court, the debate among the officials continued. The topic of this discussion was: whether to give up the liberation of troops to merge with the state to suppress the Yellow Turbans.

 Liu Hong and the ten chief servants all looked on with cold eyes, as if they were watching a farce!

“Your Majesty, the Huns’ 200,000-strong army is heading south, and Bingzhou’s troops are empty. They must not be able to defend it for long.”

“Instead of losing troops and generals in Bingzhou and finally being captured by the Xiongnu, it is better to liberate this part of the army and use it to suppress the Yellow Turban rebellion.”

“Yes, for me as a big man now, suppressing the Yellow Turban Rebellion is the top priority.”

“Your Majesty, please order Ding Yuan, the governor of Bingzhou, and Qin Wen, the prefect of Yanmen, to temporarily avoid the Xiongnu troops. After the Yellow Turbans are suppressed, we can fully recover Bingzhou.”

Most of the officials who supported abandoning the annexation of the state came from the Kanto family. Their families were already in occupied areas, so they naturally wanted to suppress the Yellow Turbans as quickly as possible. These people were led by Grand Master Yuan Feng and Grand Master Yuan Wei.

Liu Hong was actually very excited. He didn't think that after the main forces of Yanmen Army and Bingzhou Army were transferred, Bingzhou's existing troops could still stop the Xiongnu.

But these words must not come from Liu Hong's mouth. The guilt of giving up Bingzhou is too great, and Liu Hong does not dare to bear this responsibility.

 Among the hundreds of officials in the Manchu Dynasty, some proposed giving up the merger of states, and naturally there were also those who opposed it.

"Hmph, do you all know what you are talking about?" An official with half-white hair snorted coldly and stood up: "Bingzhou is the north gate of Luoyang, the capital. Once it falls, if the 200,000 Huns cavalry fall, Continuing to go south will threaten the safety of Luoyang, and who among you adults can shoulder this responsibility? "

This person is Wang Yun, the Situ who serially plotted to kill Dong Zhuo. However, although Wang Yun now holds a high position, he is not yet a Situ.

Wang Yun was born in the royal family of Taiyuan, so naturally he firmly opposed the proposal to abandon the merging of states.

Wang Yun was filled with anger when he thought that these Guandong aristocratic families would give up the entire Bingzhou for their own interests.

 In order to suppress the Yellow Turbans, is it okay to disregard the lives and deaths of millions of people in Bingzhou?

 When the supporters heard that Wang Yun was talking about the safety of the imperial capital, they were speechless and fell into silence. The safety of the imperial capital Luoyang is above all else. If the Huns were not greedy enough and continued southward after gaining the annexation of the state, wouldn't Luoyang have to face 200,000 Huns cavalry?

 In case there is another siege of Ganquan Palace, no one would dare to bear this responsibility.

 “Your Majesty, your words are serious.”

Taishi Yuan Feng saw that no one said anything. After thinking for a while, he smiled and said: "The imperial court can definitely order the Bingzhou family to recruit troops to resist. The terrain of Bingzhou is dangerous, and they will be able to resist for a year and a half..."

Before Yuan Feng finished speaking, Wang Yun couldn't listen anymore and interrupted directly: "Then what will happen in one year, Grand Master?"

"Uh, this..." Yuan Feng was stunned for a moment and didn't know how to answer.

"It seems that Mr. Yuan is sure to put down the Yellow Turban Rebellion within one year?" Wang Yun showed a sneer, bowed to Liu Hong, and said seriously: "Your Majesty, since the Grand Master is sure to put down the rebellion, then you might as well let the Grand Master lead the army to put down the rebellion. Bar!"

 "Wang Yun, you..."

Yuan Feng was so angry that he gritted his teeth. He did not expect that Wang Yun would fight back like this. He was no good at fighting. Even if he did not die in battle on the battlefield, he would be executed for defeat.

"Master Wang, I don't know how many troops will be invested in protecting Bingzhou, and where can I send the extra troops now?" Grand Tutor Yuan Wei suddenly became angry and said in a cold voice: "You want to put the Han Dynasty into a multi-front war situation. Among them?"

Seeing Yuan Wei knocking him down, Wang Yun suddenly became furious and said: "If we don't have any troops to send, are we going to let the Huns enter Bingzhou and expose Luoyang to the front of the Huns? I think you are colluding with the Huns!"

"Bold Wang Yun." Yuan Wei was furious and shouted: "I, the fourth and third prince of the Yuan family, are loyal to the Han Dynasty, and the world can be used as a reference. How dare you falsely accuse me of colluding with foreign races?"

“There is not a single inch of land in our Han Dynasty, but Mr. Yuan wants to give up the entire Bingzhou. What is this but collusion with foreign tribes? The fourth and third princes of the Yuan family are indeed loyal, but you are just trying to smear the entire Yuan family!”

Cai Yong kept pulling Wang Yun, signaling Wang Yun not to offend the Yuan family again, but Wang Yun was so angry that he said whatever he thought of, and Cai Yong couldn't stop him.

Officials who did not belong to the Guandong faction saw that Wang Yun was not only unafraid of the Yuan family's power, but also offended the Yuan family to death, and they admired Wang Yun's courage in their hearts.

Wang Yun's performance and Liu Hong also saw it. Liu Hong also greatly appreciated Wang Yun's outspoken behavior, but that could only go so far.

If Liu Hong saw infighting among aristocratic families in the past, not only would he not stop it, but he would take pleasure in the misfortune.

 But things are different now. The Yellow Turbans are rebellious at the front and the foreign cavalry is at the back. The pressure on the Han Dynasty is really great and they must unite internally.

Since the Qin family settled in Bingzhou, the Bingzhou family has begun to move closer to the Guanxi family, so now Wang Yun represents the attitude of the Guanxi family, while Yuan Wei represents the Guandong family.

  Guandong and Guanxi are the largest aristocratic family group in the Han Dynasty. If there is still internal fighting at this time, the Han Dynasty will really destroy the country!

"That's enough!" Liu Hong shouted: "Shut up, everyone. This is a court, not a vegetable market. If you want to make a noise, get out and make a noise!"

Seeing Liu Hong's anger, Wang Yun and the Yuan brothers immediately stopped quarreling and knelt down to apologize.

Liu Hong saw this and said: "What Wang Aiqing said is reasonable. Bingzhou is the northern gate of Luoyang, and there is indeed no room for error."
