Chapter 94: Lu walks into Chang'an
After the edict was written, Huang Shang was overjoyed when he saw it. He was deeply happy that he had obtained a talented person and his ability to curse others was not inferior to him. He only looked at his edict, and he was already exasperated. Fortunately, he was on his side. If he went to Yuan Shao to write an edict and scold him, he might be angry to death by him.
After reading the edict, the ministers nodded and praised it. Some people had doubts about the origin of the general and the authenticity of the emperor. After reading this article, they nodded secretly and left all their suspicions.
After the edict was written, Huang Shang began to select those who issued edicts to the prefectures and counties.
Among the prefectures and counties that have not participated in the rebellion, the strongest ones are Liu Biao in Jingzhou and Liu Yan in Yizhou.
Huang Shang reported: "Liu Jingsheng, a relative of the Han Dynasty, was loyal to the country and never colluded with rebels. Now he is elected to send important officials of the court to Jingzhou to announce the imperial edict, and he also comforted Liu Jingsheng with kind words to calm his heart."
The young emperor nodded and said, "What Huang Shang said is very much. According to you, who can take this responsibility?"
Huang Shang smiled and said, "Situ Yang, Master, is talented and knowledgeable, and has always been famous. Liu Jingsheng has always admired Situ. If Situ personally goes to issue an edict, Liu Jingsheng will definitely write to the court to fight against the rebels with the court."
The young emperor nodded and said, "Very good. Yang Situ, are you willing to go?"
Yang Biao hurriedly replied: "I am willing to go."
Queen He asked: "Liu Junlang of Yizhou is also a relative of the Han Dynasty. I wonder who can be sent to announce the imperial edict?"
Huang Shang smiled and looked at the ministers in the court. He found out from the crowd that the left general Liu Fan and the commander Liu Zhang, both of Liu Yan's sons and sent them to accompany the emperor. If they were sent to proclaim the imperial edict, it would be appropriate.
Seeing Liu Zhang, he suddenly felt aroused his heart and remembered something: "Liu Zhang and Liu Jiyu are now in Luoyang. When the last time he was cooking dried plums and wine to discuss heroes, why did Liu Bei say 'Yizhou Liu Jiyu' instead of 'Yizhou Liu Junlang'?"
While he was thinking about it, he could not stop the Queen Mother from asking questions, so he said casually: "Master Huang, the whole world respects each other. If he can go to Yizhou to announce the imperial edict, he will definitely gain."
Huang Wan felt a stern and said to herself: "Huang Shang wants to send us all out, what do you want to do? He is now in charge of the government. Do you still have to be wary of us?"
Looking at his old body, thinking about the difficulty of Shu Road, I was afraid that he would be dispersed before Chengdu. I had to report: "The old minister is weak, but I am afraid that he will not be able to do it. Liu Junlang has two sons in court, so why not send his son to announce the imperial edict?"
Huang Shang came to his senses, looked at his gray beard, and thought to himself: "This old arm and legs really can't stand to see Liu Yan. If you insist on going, it would be better to prepare a coffin to let him sleep until Chengdu. But Liu Fan and Liu Zhang could not send him there, otherwise they would not be able to restrain Liu Yan."
He turned his eyes and looked at Wang Yun next to him, secretly hating him: "This old guy stopped me from talking nonsense last time. In fact, he wanted to conspire with Bao Xin to assassinate me and use his daughter as bait. I'm so shameless! If it weren't for your daughter's sake, he would have beaten you in two pieces! Don't take advantage of this chore, so just let you go. It's best if you can die of exhaustion in the Shu Road to Heaven and send you to heaven directly!"
Thinking of this, Huang Shang reported: "Your Majesty, Huang Taiwei is old and has a high moral character, so he really cannot do it. Wang Taifu is in good health and respectful manner. He can take his post and go to Yizhou to announce an imperial edict."
Wang Yun was nervous, not knowing when he would be arrested and beheaded as a rioter. Fortunately, no one knew about his conspiracy with Cao Cao and Yuan Shao, otherwise his head would have been hanging on the city gate at this moment. He suddenly heard this and was so scared that he shook his whole body, but he thought, "It's good to leave Luoyang, avoid this gust of storm first, and then come back to kill the traitors!"
He hurriedly came out to report: "I am willing to go to Yizhou to announce an edict!"
The matter was settled, and Huang Shang then appointed officials to announce the imperial edicts to other prefectures and counties, and allocated them one by one.
Huang Shang suddenly remembered something again and sighed: "Today's incident, there have been nursery rhymes circulating in the market. Recently, a child in the street market sang songs: 'There is a Han in the west and a Han in the east. Only when the deer walks into Chang'an will it be difficult.' This is what he said."
He Houqi said: "What does this mean?"
Huang Shang sighed: "The Han in the west refers to my Han court; the Han in the east refers to the rebels in Guandong who supported King Chenliu as a pseudo-emperor and established the country in Guandong!"
"What can I do if the 'deer walks into Chang'?" asked Queen He.
Huang Shang smiled and said, "According to the calculations of the little minister, this 'deer' refers not to the deer, but to the Lu family in Jiangdong. Its family is prosperous and has many talents. If he can order his family to move to Chang'an and contribute to the country, the country's fortune will definitely be unhindered."
The ministers were very surprised, but no one dared to disobey their intentions. He was also curious, so he followed his words and issued an edict to summon the Lu family to Chang'an.
Huang Shang said again: "Your Majesty, the meaning of this nursery rhyme is that the country is in trouble. We should gather talents to share the worries of the country. I heard that there are two talents in Yizhou, one is Wu Yi and one is Yan Yan, who is now the captain of Yizhou. Your Majesty can announce that he will come to the court to serve and do his best for the country."
The young emperor naturally agreed and ordered Wang Yun to summon these two people to the capital to accompany him.
The unscrupulous and intelligent brain secretly rejoices in his heart: "Although Lu Xun in Jiangdong is young, he should not be underestimated. There are many talented people in the world, and the best ones cannot be put into the hands of others."
Thinking of this, he recommended some wise men in a variety of ways. The young emperor agreed to summon him to the court.
Feng Sha reported: "The rebellion of Guandong is led by Yuan Shao. His plan to assassinate the emperor and support the pseudo-emperor is extremely guilty. If the army does not attack, there will be no warning. I am willing to lead a soldier out of the pass to fight against the thieves!"
The young emperor had no expression on his face and did not speak. He just waited for Huang Shang's radio waves to say, "Ready for the report. From now on, you can lead a hundred thousand troops out of the pass to fight against the rebels."
Feng Sha shook his head and said, "Although our army has a large number of troops, it is just a shortage of troops. Moreover, it is difficult to transfer all the troops for a while, so the defense of Luoyang City cannot be too empty. I can lead 20,000 people to attack. If there are too many, I am afraid that the supply of military rations will not be enough. I will go here, cross the Yellow River first, conquer Henei County, seize its food and grass, and then mobilize the army to attack Yecheng together. I will definitely behead Yuan Shao's head to thank the world!"
The young emperor agreed to it. The beauty behind the pearl curtain looked at his heroic figure. Although she was reluctant to leave, she had to let him go.
