In mid-May, Zhang Fangyi was assassinated when he went to court. Fortunately, his followers fought desperately to save him. Zhang Fangyi was fine, but three of his bodyguards died.
When the news came out, there was an uproar.
Because of the assassination, most of them were not tolerated by the court. The king of Yue, Yang Tong, was also furious and ordered his officials to investigate the matter thoroughly.
Zhang Fangyi guessed that this matter was done by a wealthy family whose interests were harmed. Although he himself was not afraid of these monsters and monsters, he was also worried in his heart. After all, these aristocratic families even used assassinations, which showed that they had no bottom line.
The King of Yue¡¯s strict investigation had no effect.
Since the emperor's decline and chaos in all directions, the imperial court's control over internal and external affairs has dropped to a freezing point. The court was shocked when Yin Hongren, the son of the general Yin Shishi who died in Chang'an, came to Luoyang and secretly escorted the king back to Luoyang as the emperor's internal guard. The imperial court had too much time to take care of itself, so how could it spare the energy to take away the king.
This matter still caused a great disturbance in the DPRK. Although not many people knew about it, it caused great shock among high-level officials.
Although we don¡¯t know whose hands the acting king fell into, there are people in the world pretending to be the emperor¡¯s inner guards and extending their hands into the emperor¡¯s heart. This shows how chaotic the emperor¡¯s inner guards are and how chaotic the emperor¡¯s surroundings are.
At the court, Zhang Fangyi was already being impeached because of his wanton killing of grain merchants. This time, everyone knew that the matter was not simple, but they just didn't want to go to war.
So the assassination matter ended up being left unsolved.
Yang Tong felt very guilty about this and kept apologizing to Zhang Fangyi. As the sufferer, Zhang Fangyi had to comfort the King of Yue.
Back at home, Zhang Fangyi was also depressed. He knew that the enemy was around but couldn't take action. This feeling was really uncomfortable.
And Zhang Fangyi is also worried that this group of people will cause trouble again and cause even greater trouble if their plan fails.
At this time, Zhang Wenyu said to his father: "Luoyang is in chaos today, because the people in the city are unable to suppress the hostility and frighten the evildoers. Although my father was entrusted with important tasks by the King of Yue, he does not have such prestige. In this case, why don't my father invite you to ask for help?" Uncle returns to Luoyang to take charge of the overall situation? The uncle has more than 100,000 troops in his hands, and he is famous and has outstanding military exploits. As long as the uncle crosses the river and goes south, the young people in Luoyang City will definitely be frightened. As for the rebel Li Mi outside the city, he is not a big one. Uncle¡¯s rival.¡±
Zhang Fangyi glanced at Zhang Wenyu and said helplessly: "Do you think I am obsessed with power and are afraid that your uncle will come and take away my power?
"Early when the emperor was touring Jiangdu in the south, I wrote to your uncle asking him to return to Luoyang to assist the government, but he refused.
Later, after the death of Lord Ji Jing (Fan Zigai, nicknamed "Jing"), I wrote to your uncle again, asking him to return to Luoyang as soon as possible to take charge of the overall situation to prevent external changes, but your uncle still refused.
After the Wagang rebels occupied Luokou warehouse, I wrote to your uncle again and again, but he always refused.
If it were possible, I would have gone to Hebei long ago, and I would have to bring him back. "
Zhang Wenxuan was greatly surprised after hearing this.
Zhang Fangyi stood up, took out a letter from his uncle's secret place, and handed it to Zhang Wenyu.
This letter is exactly what Huang Mingyuan wrote to Zhang Fangyi, but it is not signed. Zhang Fangyi burned all the other letters Huang Mingyuan wrote to Zhang Fangyi before, and now only the latest one remains.
"This is what your uncle wrote to me three days ago."
Zhang Wenxuan took a quick look and found that although the letter did not indicate his identity, he could tell that it was his uncle. In the letter, the uncle asked his father to protect Luoyang City and not to fight with Li Milang. At the same time, he asked to hold on for another half year. After autumn, he would go south to suppress the bandits.
Zhang Wenyu put down the letter and asked his father with some uncertainty: "Is my uncle dealing with bandits in Hebei and he still can't get away?"
At this time, Zhang Fangyi, whose face had remained unchanged, suddenly frowned.
"Others don't know, but I know. Your uncle has completely quelled the banditry in Hebei, and even recovered the east of Hebei. The entire north of the river is now occupied by your uncle."
Zhang Wenxuan was so shocked that he could hardly speak for a moment.
Although Zhang Wenyu had never been an official, he was often around his father, and he was immersed in it. He was also exposed to major events in the DPRK, so he knew what it meant.
"Uncle, does he have any rebellious intentions?"
Zhang Fangyi didn't know either, so he could only say: "I don't know, it's just that Qin lost its deer, and the whole world chased it away."
"Hiss!"
Zhang Wenxuan knew too much today, and was a little confused for a while.
After a while, Zhang Wenxuan said: "If this is really the case, why should my uncle be outside? Instead, he should return to Luoyang and take the emperor to order the princes."
"I'm afraid it's because your uncleRegarding the relationship with the emperor and Prince Yuande, he also didn't know how to treat the King of Yue. "
Zhang Wenxuan said disapprovingly: "If you want to do big things, how can you be disturbed by small things? In the past, Yuan Shao was very powerful. Jushu suggested that Yuan Shao should welcome the emperor to the west, that is, the palace in Yedu, hold the emperor and order the princes, and the soldiers and horses will not be able to fight. Who can control it?" "What?" And Yuan Shao was worried that "to welcome the emperor today, he will express his opinions at every turn, and if he obeys, he will have less power, and if he disobeys, he will refuse orders." In the end, he hesitated and lost the opportunity, and even Cao Cao found an opportunity to prepare for Guandu in the future. Failure planted the seeds.
"Now that my eldest uncle has returned to the court, he has gained righteousness and is at the right time. If Li Mi is defeated, Luoyang's people will be conquered. But if it is not decided early, someone will come first. I'm afraid it will be too late to regret what happened to Yuan Shao and Cao Cao. "
Zhang Wenxuan thought of this and couldn't sit still. He stood up and said to his father: "Father, I have to see my uncle immediately and persuade him to go south. If it is too late, it will be too late."
"sit down!"
Zhang Fangyi looked at his anxious son and said: "What a panic. Your uncle has been leading the army since he was more than ten years old. He has countless capable ministers and generals around him, and yet you are still chattering here. This must be the result of your uncle's long thinking.
Although your uncle is a person who understands others and accepts advice, others cannot change the things he decides. Do you think you can? "
Zhang Wenxuan was frustrated for a while.
"But why did we arrive here? Are we just watching the situation deteriorate?"
"No, your uncle has already deployed tens of thousands of troops to Hanoi, and Zhou Zhongan, the governor of Hanoi County, is your uncle's confidant. If there is a change, his troops will arrive in a moment, and there is still a chance to save it."
Having said this, Zhang Fangyi still didn't understand his brother-in-law's thoughts. Instead of telling his son, these words were more of a comfort to himself.
Zhang Fangyi believes that his brother-in-law is still his most solid supporter.
After the assassination, Zhang Fangyi continued to govern according to the old policy as if nothing had happened. Although the slander continued, as time went by, he gradually gained control of some troops.
And in order to win over the people, he also killed and deposed a group of officials who were very angry with the people, which greatly won the hearts of the people.
The city of Luoyang was strong, and Zhang Fangyi insisted on not engaging the enemy. Li Mi sent troops to attack the city several times, but with no results, and instead suffered heavy losses. As a result, the people of Luoyang City gradually calmed down. (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
