Chapter 361 Luoyang Comes

After hearing this, these ten people looked deep and worried.

"Zhang Rang, He Jin and Yuan Wei are so bold that they dare to tamper with His Majesty's will. Now they are in power and have always hated us. After the new emperor ascends the throne, they will definitely attack us!"

"Yes, yes, this time I'll stop, what if I do?"

Zhang Rang said slowly without panic: "For the sake of the current plan, we can only burn our boats. We must first protect ourselves and then make a big plan."

Everyone hurriedly asked, "How to protect themselves?"

Zhang Rang narrowed his eyes and shook the hilt of the sword in his hand.

"We have made too many enemies in the past, and we can only be safe by relying on His Majesty's favor. Today, His Majesty's death was in a daze. The new emperor was young, and all the civil and military officials in the court wanted to kill us and then go quickly. In this way, we can only save our lives by asking Empress He to come forward to plead with us."

"Not bad. In the past, we were in the palace and served Empress He more. Now we send more jewelry to make him happy. Then we cried and begged for mercy to express our intention to surrender, which will definitely work."

The Ten Constables have long been familiar with the nature of everyone in the palace. Queen He is greedy for money and has a soft ear. It can even be said that Queen He is from a humble background, but she can achieve success in the position of the queen. Among them, Zhang Rang and others are also helpful. Now she asks Queen He to protect them, and everyone is confident.

"As long as we can tell Empress He, no, Empress He issued an imperial edict, even if He Jin is in trouble, our lives will be saved by then."

Everyone nodded and felt very comfortable.

"What should I do after that?"

Zhang Rang did not rush to answer, but looked at the other person sitting next to him.

"Zhao Zhong, is what your disciple said really feasible?"

Zhao Zhong said, "No matter He Jin or Yuan, they have repeatedly made things difficult for Liu He, and they have been trying to get rid of it for a long time. I see Your Majesty's intention is to ask Liu Yu, Liu He and the two relatives of He Jin and Yuan, to check and balance each other. Now, Yuan and others are bold and reckless, act against the will of heaven, and cause trouble. In this way, they are giving my disciples a little bit of confidence."

Zhang Rang nodded slightly: "Well, it's reasonable. Half of the commanders of the imperial guards in the palace are promoted by us. If we win over this Liu He again, there will be those 100,000 elite troops in battle for me to use, and to support the inside and outside, how can I be afraid of Yuan Wei?"

Then, his eyes were fixed, and he pulled out his sword with a "clang".

"I will wait for dawn to see Queen He immediately. After Quan died, I will go to see Liu He immediately!"

Zhao Zhong said: "At that time, I will go to Yanmen in person and will definitely convince Liu He to surrender to us!"

"Okay! In this way, we are free of worries!"

All the ten regular servants turned worries into joy.

For several days, the gates of the palace and Luoyang City were closed and the guards were tightly guarded. Everyone could only go out and not enter.

On this day, a carriage was galloping out of the east gate.

The news of Emperor Ling’s death, the new emperor ascended the throne, and the regent of He and Yuan had spread all over the world, the government and the country were shaking and people were panicked.

However, there was only one person, but now he was not panicked, but as stable as Mount Tai, so naturally it was Liu He.

Two days ago, he received a letter from Feiying Guard saying that he had successfully bribed the disciples of the Ten General Assistant Zhao Zhong, and persuaded him to come and win over Liu He. Now Zhao Zhong has left Luoyang in person and is preparing to come to Yanmen to visit him.

Seeing that the prey was about to be arrested, Liu He naturally looked forward to it and his mood improved.

Huangfu Han is still studying behind closed doors, obsessed with it, and can't extricate himself.

The Anmin Army has been trained properly, and the new equipment of the Han Wuzhang has been in place, 20,000 purple gold dragon cavalry, soldiers' armor is complete, and the horse armor of war horses has been equipped with thousands. Although it will take a lot of time to complete all 60,000 war horses, Liu He is not in a hurry.

In the border counties, hundreds to thousands of Xianbei people would move in every period of time. With the careful arrangement of the officials led by Qian Li, Shi Tao, Meng Jian and Huo Qing, these people were properly arranged to learn Chinese, as well as technical skills such as farming, textiles, and construction.

Although these Xianbei people who came to surrender to naturalization were poor, for the Xianbei people, there were still a few furs in their families. One or two underage livestock were not high-quality goods. Of course, in the eyes of the Xianbei people, they were at least a few thousand yuan in exchange for business and travel in Hu market.

With this money, under the unified arrangement of the government, they bought houses in the city, bought some food and living utensils, and then the large army went to reclaim wasteland, repaired city walls, built water conservancy, etc. If they wanted to cultivate themselves, they would register them in their names. If they did not want to cultivate, the government would pay a certain amount of labor wages, including many foreign refugees, and the same way would be done to survive here.

This method of "work-for-relief" was also ideal for money. The land in dozens of cities in the northern border was recovered, but the city was ruined, the land was abandoned for many years, overgrown weeds, and most of the houses had been damaged and collapsed. Many rivers were blocked and silted. Using this method, it can not only attract unsurvivable refugees and Hu people to come and live in peace, but also solve the problem of lack of labor in these cities. While the government provides relief, it is not easy to cause lazy people to cheat and rich people to eat empty wages. It can be said that they can kill multiple shots in one fell swoop, so it was quickly promoted in various cities.

Poor people, whether they are Han or Hu, are not afraid of working. Although they are thin, they really can see the hope of life. The power that can burst out in their small body is unimaginable.

In less than three months, various projects inside and outside the city have been carried out in an orderly and smooth manner.

On this day, another big deal was opened in Yinguan City. It was nothing else, but the bathhouse in Anmin Army that has always been loved by all soldiers. Starting today, it will be officially opened to the public.

Although this bathhouse is located in a corner of the south of the city, it covers a huge area, with twenty shops arranged on both sides of the street and standing opposite the door. These shops are part of the industries seized by Liu He after he annihilated the powerful families of Yanmen, and were transformed into this bathhouse.

After several years of development, there are more than 400 masters who are proficient in massage and horn techniques in this bathhouse in the army, and nearly 2,000 apprentices. Although it is distributed among many county towns, the twenty stores in Yinguan City are the largest in the army. Half of all the masters gather here, and thousands of soldiers come to them every day.

This bathhouse has grown to its current scale, and the annual expenses have become very huge. After Liu He mentioned it by chance at home, Zhang Yu suggested that the bathhouse be completely opened, so that it can not only allow tired people and businessmen to have some entertainment, but also reduce Liu He's burden. Liu He immediately adopted it, so he set out fifteen idle shops, which are different from the original one. However, that place is still only open to sergeants, but this place is open to the public.

This move has also been supported by major business travelers and many people in the city. As soon as the business was opened, many people flocked in, which is a booming business.

Liu He and the people were having fun together, and they also soaked in a small pool with Guan Yu and others. As soon as they came up, they asked several masters to rub their backs when suddenly a soldier wearing standard armor ran in, experiencing the thick mist and searched for a long time.

It was Zhang Yong who first discovered him and called him over.

"Aren't you the city guards on duty today? Why did you come here?"

The soldiers guarding the city were surprised at first when they saw the generals naked, but soon reacted.

"Oh, my lord and all the generals, a man came from outside the city and drove a carriage. He claimed that he was from Luoyang and had something to do to talk to the lord for secret discussion."

"Swish..."

Liu He immediately sat up with a happy look on his face: "Oh? Finally here, haha, brothers, please take a meal first, brother Yu left first."

He took the clothes and armor next to him, and while wearing them, he said to the soldier, "Please ask that gentleman to wait in the main hall of the prefect's mansion."

Cui Jun, who was standing beside him, did not forget to remind him: "My lord, be sure to keep calm, you can't tell the man that I'm waiting for."
