Another day, the emperor of Luoyang received an urgent report from Nanyang. The emperor knew that Nanyang Wancheng had fallen and the prefect Chu Gong had been killed.

"Damn it!!

Emperor Liu Hong suddenly became furious:"Chu Gong is a loser. Nanyang is the number one county in the world. I trusted him to hand over such an important place to him. He actually lost it to me in just a few days?""

"If he hadn't been dead, I would have wanted to kill him."

Liu Hong lost his temper for a while, and then he softened a little.

Then, when he saw the battle report from Deng County, his expression softened, and then he said:"That's right. The magistrates of Deng County and his son were good, and they actually stabilized Deng County with the help of county soldiers and caravan guards from a single county;"

"Not only did they capture more than 10,000 Yellow Turban thieves in Deng County, but they also annihilated 20,000 Yellow Turban thieves sent by Zhang Mancheng. Very good!"

Speaking of this, Emperor Liu Hong looked around, looked at the ministers below and said:"I have always punished me for my mistakes and rewarded for my merits;"

"Now that Chu Gong is dead and the situation is urgent, I plan to promote Su Lie to be the governor of Nanyang, responsible for clearing out the Yellow Turban thieves in Nanyang and recovering the lost territory. What do you think?"

After hearing this, all the officials looked at each other.

Some even whispered to each other in a low voice.

"His Majesty! Absolutely not!"

The next moment, Yuan Feng was the first to stand up and express his objection:"Your Majesty also said that Nanyang is the number one county in the world, and there is no room for failure;"

"It must be recaptured as soon as possible, otherwise, if the Yellow Turban thieves occupy it for a long time, with the money and food there, their military strength will probably multiply exponentially;"

"Moreover, there is an important road directly leading to Sili Luoyang in the north of Nanyang. The location is too critical and cannot be missed;"

"Therefore, a capable man with both civil and military skills is needed to take over;"

"Su Liechen has also heard that his talents are limited, and being a county magistrate is already the limit, and he doesn't know how to fight."

"This meritorious service is probably mainly due to his son Su Xuan;"

"How could such a person shoulder the heavy responsibility of being the governor of Nanyang and put down the rebellion of the Yellow Turbans in Nanyang?"

Obviously, Yuan Feng knew about it in advance.

I'm afraid he received the news from Nanyang earlier than the emperor.

Also, Nanyang is the largest county in the world, and it is adjacent to Runan, Yuzhou. The Yuan family's power here is It’s not small.

There are many eyeliners.

It’s normal to be well-informed.

"Your Majesty, please think again!"

Yuan Feng bowed and said.

Immediately afterwards, several more officials stood up and said:"Your Majesty, please think twice."

"this...."

The emperor hesitated after hearing this:"It's not unreasonable!"

He remembered that he also received Chu Gong's report three days ago, which also mentioned that the main credit for the battle of Deng County was indeed Su Lie's son Su Xuan.

It seems that Su Lie is not very good at military affairs.

The land of Nanyang is too important, and the appointment of the governor cannot be hasty.

"So do you have a suitable candidate? The emperor did not persist and asked instead:"I have only one request. The person recommended must be capable enough to regain Nanyang in the shortest possible time.""

Yuan Feng heard this and said nothing, but he made a gesture to He Jin on the other side.

He Jin had been paying attention to Yuan Feng's expression. After receiving the signal, he immediately stepped out of the queue and asked:"Qin, the governor of Jiangxia, Jie was both civil and military, and was quite good at military affairs. The Yellow Turban Army also broke out in Jiangxia, but it was already suppressed by him;"

"In addition, he was originally from Jingzhou and was very familiar with Nanyang. I recommended this person to take over as Nanyang governor and take charge of Nanyang's counterinsurgency affairs."

"I second the motion!"

Yuan Feng and others all came out to echo.

The emperor narrowed his eyes slightly when he saw this scene of civil and military union.

Looking at Yuan Feng and He Jin, a cold light flashed deep in his eyes.

He thought in his heart:"He Jin is a piece of shit. I trusted and promoted him and gave him military power so that he could gather the influence of his relatives and compete with top nobles like the Yuan family in the arena;"

"Instead of letting him join in with them and unite to oppress me!"

"This is simply unreasonable!"

"Does this idiot really think that the Yuan family and other nobles are sincerely friends with him?"

"This idiot was being used from beginning to end without even realizing it. I was blind to trust him in the first place."

He wished he could kill He Jin directly now.

But he knew that this was no longer possible.

He Jin's wings were already full, and there were Yuan family and other nobles supporting him. Even if he was the emperor, he could not easily touch He Jin.

These thoughts After a flash in his mind, the emperor Liu Hong restrained these thoughts, thought about Qin Jie and recalled it, and he had some impressions.

He is a capable person.

Now is not the time to care about other things, he nodded immediately and said:"Since all your dear friends think that this person has this ability, then appoint Qin Jie as the new Nanyang Governor!"

"He quickly sent someone to convey the appointment and ordered him to take office immediately and put down the Nanyang rebellion as quickly as possible."

Speaking of this, Su Xuan appeared in the emperor's mind again; he had an impression of this name.

Isn't this the talented man who wrote the Thousand-Character Essay more than half a year ago?

This person also claimed that he had insufficient knowledge and was still young. Qing, refused to come to Luoyang as a Langguan.

Judging from the previous performance of Yuan Feng and others, this person should not be one of Yuan Feng and the others, but a new young talent who is worthy of promotion and wooing.

In addition He was worried about Qin Jie and wanted to mix sand into Nanyang, so he immediately issued an order:"In addition, I have said before that I will reward you for your merits. Yuan Aiqing said before that all the merits of Deng County belong to Su Xuan, the son of Su Lie, the magistrate of Deng County;"

"Then I will promote him to the rank of Cavalry General and allow him to recruit 5,000 soldiers and horses on his own to cooperate with Qin Jie to pacify the Yellow Turbans of Nanyang. The two of them are not subordinate to each other. Let them discuss how to put down the rebellion."

"I don't care about anything else. I ask them to pacify the Nanyang Yellow Turbans in the shortest possible time. That's it!"

After saying that, the emperor did not wait for Yuan Feng and others to object. He waved his hand and decided the matter arbitrarily and authoritatively.

Yuan Feng and others made eye contact and felt that the emperor had given in. It seemed like the force was too much.

The emperor turned against him and flipped the table.

Yuan Feng and others immediately took the lead in singing:"Your Majesty is wise!"

"Do you have anything else to report?"

The emperor nodded with satisfaction and then asked.

After hearing this, Yuan Feng immediately came out of the class again and said:"Your Majesty, I have a script to start this memorial;"

"At present, the Yellow Turban bandits are powerful and the armed forces in various places are weak, making it difficult to resist. I sincerely request your Majesty's permission to lift the party's imprisonment;"

"At that time, scholars all over the world were grateful for His Majesty's kindness and actively participated in countering the rebellion."

After hearing this, the emperor suddenly turned cold and thought:"So, this means that if I don't lift the imprisonment of the party, you scholars will not work hard to suppress the rebellion?"

He finally understood that the reason why Taiping Dao could develop to this extent was not known to the imperial court. It was clearly suppressed deliberately by nobles like Yuan Feng and others. In order to create the current situation, they forced him to contact Party prison.

The power of the gentry was overridden by the imperial power, and it was nothing more than grabbing the benefits of fighting.

Unfortunately, even if he knew it at this time, the emperor was powerless. He could only spit out an accurate word in a cold voice:"Accurate!"

"Your Majesty is wise!"

Suddenly, the officials below were overjoyed and all praised.

Even those loyal ministers who considered themselves loyal to the imperial power were no exception.

After all, regardless of their status as loyal ministers, they were ultimately scholars.

Because of the party's supervision, they also had relatives and friends. And teachers were implicated, persecuted, died, or kept their names anonymous.

It was also a good thing for them to be in contact with the party..... ps: New book uploaded, please collect, send flowers and comment!
