Chapter nine hundred and ninety fourth belt edict
After Zhang Xi and Yan Zhong retreated, he immediately bowed to Liu Xie and said, "Your Majesty! I have a secret matter!"
Liu Xie immediately asked his left and right to retreat, and then pulled Zhang Xi to the center of the hall. It was extremely empty and no one would lurk and eavesdrop.
"What secrets do Mr. Zhang have?"
"Your Majesty!" Zhang Xi bowed deeply and said, "Ma Qiang betrays the king!"
"What?"
"This is a secret letter sent by Gongsun Du, please read it."
Liu Xie looked at the letter handed over by Zhang Xi, hesitated for a while, but finally did not answer, but said, "What is the saying in the letter?"
"In Gongsun Du's letter, Ma Ziyu was defeated in Liaohe, and the weak ministers had received a tip again. All the families of the first battalion of the 12th Army received pensions. The 12th Army was a front army, which means that Ma Ziyu was defeated in the first battle. The first battalion of the former army was all in the army, but Ma Ziyu said that he won one after another. Isn't this a deception to the emperor?"
"This...it's military after all, and I don't have much to say."
"Your Majesty!" Zhang Xi was excited, "Your Majesty is the emperor, and the world belongs to Your Majesty, why can't you say much?"
"Zhang Gong..." Liu Xie sighed, "Now that the government is from the Ma family, and the sacrificial people are the ones. What can I do?"
"Your Majesty, now is the opportunity!" Zhang Xi continued, "Since your Majesty ascended the throne, the treacherous heroes have emerged: they first suffered from Dong Zhuo, then suffered from evil and rebellion. Ordinary people have not suffered, and your Majesty will take it alone. Later, they got the general and thought it was a minister of the country; they did not expect to be the country to take power, and they were a blessing. Every time we see it, it was like a light on our backs, and we were angry in our hearts. In our dreams, we also wanted to eat its flesh and drink its blood.
If you are blessed today, Ma Ziyu will lead his troops to fall into Liaodong. If your Majesty ascends a high place and shouts, there are righteous men who defend the road and princes outside to serve the king, great things will be accomplished!"
"If something fails...what should I do?"
To be honest, although I had no power in Youzhou, I lived a good life. After all, I was close to Red Star Camp, and Liu Xie enjoyed all kinds of novel things. It can be said that this is much better than in Chang'an.
Now Zhang Xi advises him to come out to seize power, it is natural to succeed, but what if he fails?
Anyway, Liu Xie didn't see how likely Zhang Xi would win.
"Your Majesty can issue a secret edict. Even if the matter is defeated, your Majesty can refuse to know and protect you from the safety of your health!"
"Secret Order?"
Seeing that Liu Xie was still hesitating, Zhang Xi firmly believed that this was a rare opportunity and urged him, "Did Your Majesty forget how Taizu founded my great Han foundation?
In the past, Taizu came from the head of Si Shang Pavilion, carried a three-foot sword, killed the snake and rebelled, traversing all over the world, destroyed Qin in three years, and destroyed Chu in five years: Then he had the world, such a hero, Your Majesty is his descendant, how can he be cowardly?
On that day, Dong Zhuo was in front of Mount Mang, and Your Majesty dared to scold him, let alone today?"
Liu Xie's face turned red when Zhang Xi said this and hurriedly said, "Of course I remember, my dear, please wait for me to write a secret edict, but there are Ma's minions outside the palace, so I'm afraid that the matter will be leaked!"
Zhang Xi looked at Liu Xie and said, "You can hide it in your belt!"
Liu Xie looked down at his jade belt and replied, "Okay, wait for me to write a copy."
Because in this time and space, Ma Qiang was quite friendly to Liu Xie, and there was no siege of Xu Tian. Dong Cheng even confirmed his crime of assassinating Fu Shou. Therefore, Liu Xie's resentment towards Ma Qiang was much smaller than that of Cao Cao, so naturally he could not do anything to break the finger blood letter, but broke his jade belt and wrote a handwritten book to keep it in.
Zhang Xi received the edict of clothing and hurried out. Just as he was about to leave the palace, he saw Yan Zhong guarding outside the door. Zhang Xi knew that he could not escape, so he walked forward with a tough bullet.
"Mr. Zhang, Your Majesty has been alone with you for almost an hour, but he is very fond of you."
"Your Majesty told me about the movement of the west that day. When it comes to the emotions, it is a bit late. Why is Yan still here? Is it because he has official duties to meet the emperor?"
Yan Zhong glanced at Zhang Xi's belt, smiled and said, "Your Majesty also rewarded you with a belt?"
"Because I remembered the achievements of the Western Capital to save the emperor in the past, I received this gift..."
Yan Zhong nodded and waved his hand to let him leave. Zhang Xi hurriedly left. After he walked away, Shi A appeared beside Yan Zhong.
"There is something wrong with his lace, and there are signs of breaking it, and there may be something inside."
"No obstacle." Yan Zhong smiled and said, "I hope our emperor can be more stupid. By the way, I heard that the one over there has achieved good results recently?"
"Well, although he is not as talented as the emperor, he is hardworking and admires the general very much."
Shi A was also responsible for rescuing Liu Bian back then, so from a relationship point of view, Shi A hoped that Liu Bian would be the emperor.
"That's good, the guards around him must be properly prepared."
But Zhang Xi, who was here, left the palace and returned home, immediately disguised himself as he found Zhao Wen and Chunyu Jia, and then the three of them left the city together and headed to the west.
In Xishan Academy, Yang Biao looked at the robbery brought by Zhang Xi, listened to Zhang Xi's previous words and said happily, "Duke Zhang! It seems that what Gongsun Du said is indeed true. Without further ado, you should contact the righteous man to rebellion quickly!"
Zhang Xi nodded and said, "That's how I think. Now I'll contact the princes from all over the country. When there is news, it will probably take a month or two. This is absolutely unsuccessful.
Therefore, we can only start first and then let the princes from all over the country serve the king and rescue the emperor.
But I am afraid that the princes everywhere will not believe it.
It just so happens that there are sons and nephews of the princes in various places in the city. They can use the pretext of giving lectures to gather these people, and we will inform them of this matter in secret at that time."
"This method is good, but if you want to seize Jixian, where will the troops come from?"
Zhang Xi looked at Zhao Wen.
Zhao Wen immediately said, "After coming from each prefecture, the imperial court had few soldiers and horses, but each prefecture had internal guards, and thousands of people gathered together.
As long as we can quickly kill Yan Zhong and others, and then read the emperor's edict, those ordinary officials and soldiers will definitely surrender!"
"The only thing I have to worry about is that Ma Ziyu leads his troops back to the rescue!" Chunyu Jia reminded.
"After taking Jixian, you can immediately cut off the food and grass from Liaodong, and then set up troops and horses to ambush halfway. Even if you can't starve Ma Ziyu to death, you can still kill him!"
"Yes! Just do it!"
The four aristocratic leaders finalized the plan on the spot and immediately took action separately.
With the imperial edict in hand, Zhang Xi and others quickly convinced a large number of scholars to join them.
Such a situation made Zhang Xi and Yan Zhong laugh, which was very interesting.
——Youzhou Prefecture Patriarchate
The information is constantly summarized here, and the special person screens and grades it, and then the summary is passed to Shi A and Yan Zhong.
"Haha, Chunyu Jia was moving very quickly. He immediately summoned the students in Ji County and invited Mr. Lu to teach them, hoping to use Mr. Lu to cover up his eyes." Yan Zhong looked at the information and shook his head and said to Shi A. "I don't know what kind of academic Lu is talking about. It can actually make these princes and nephews worried or excited."
