Upon hearing Gou Xi's name, Grand Tutor Zhu Ji's head immediately shook like a rattle.
"No, absolutely not!"
Tutor Zhu Ji said angrily, "Gou Xi has the heart of a tiger or a wolf. If the Lord was here before, he could have suppressed him and made him dare not act rashly."
"Now that His Majesty has collapsed in the formation, who can suppress Gou Xi anymore?"
"Have you forgotten the tragic incident when He Jin summoned Dong Zhuo to Beijing?"
Faced with Taifu Zhu Ji's unceremonious rebuke, the subordinate who offered the advice did not give up immediately.
"Master, the Qiang thieves in Chang'an City are now lawless. If the city cannot be pacified quickly, I'm afraid everyone will run away!" the aide continued to advise.
At this time, another staff member said loudly.
"Master, you must not call Gou Xi to lead the army into the city! If Gou Xi enters the city, he can indeed subdue the Qiang thieves."
"But who can subdue Gou Xi in the future?"
After hearing this, the rest of the staff also expressed their disapproval of calling Gou Xi into the city.
Faced with the fierce public sentiment, the staff member who proposed the proposal immediately put his tail between his legs in disgrace.
"Master, the top priority now is to support a new king immediately to stabilize the situation!"
"Tongguan is most likely out of control, so there is no need to stabilize the situation." Grand Tutor Zhu Ji said dejectedly.
"No! Taifu, those thieves coming from the Weishui River are rootless trees. As long as we gather our troops to attack them, we can definitely defeat them. The guard of Tongguan is my general Hu Yangong. It’s not necessarily difficult to hold on for two or three months before it runs out!”
Upon hearing this, Grand Tutor Zhu Ji immediately regained some confidence and energy.
"Tell me, what's your plan?"
"Grand Tutor, you can quickly send people to Pingyang to welcome King Liang to Chang'an to take the throne, and by the way, bring all the soldiers and horses from Pingyang to Guanzhong." The aide said hurriedly.
"Prince Liang? Pingyang's soldiers and horses?" Upon hearing this, Grand Tutor Zhu Ji immediately fell into a tangle.
The current queen, Yang Xianrong, was about to give birth. Liu Yao had already said in front of everyone that the baby would definitely be a boy, and he would be the crown prince who would inherit the throne in the future.
And Liu Yun, the king of Liang who was in Pingyang, was just a bastard born of a slave, and he was never taken seriously by Liu Yao.
As for the Xiongnu soldiers and horses in Pingyang, they were the last elite of the Xiongnu Han Kingdom.
If the soldiers and horses from Pingyang were transferred to Chang'an, it would mean giving up their home base in Pingyang.
The staff member who offered the advice immediately saw the worry of Grand Tutor Zhu Ji, and he immediately offered the advice.
"Master, if a strong man cuts off his wrist, it should be cut off!"
“If a country has no monarch, how can it give orders to all parties?”
"Now the capital of the Imperial Han Dynasty is in Guanzhong. If Guanzhong is not preserved, what's the use of leaving a remote place in Pingyang?"
When Grand Tutor Zhu Ji heard this, he did not speak immediately. He thought worriedly for a moment, and then sighed and said.
"All right!"
"Now there is nothing we can do, we can only put aside the small and take care of the big!"
Subsequently, Grand Tutor Zhu Ji immediately ordered people to go to Pingyang to welcome Liu Yun, the king of Liang, to Chang'an to succeed him, and then immediately brought his troops and horses.
Just after these matters were handled, the officials from Taifu's Mansion came in to report again.
"Master, what's wrong, those Qiang thieves are really lawless, they actually want to open the treasury privately!"
"What? These thieves!" Grand Tutor Zhu Ji was immediately furious.
They were just thinking about cleaning up the mess in Guanzhong, so they forgot about the situation they were facing.
The Qiang and Hu people were already in chaos.
The most urgent task is to stabilize these Qiang and Hu people.
Otherwise, once Chang'an is completely in chaos, Zhu Ji and the Huns will have no capital to hold on.
What's more, according to Grand Tutor Zhu Ji's plan, after the elite troops from Pingyang arrive, they will continue to go eastward to support Tongguan as much as possible.
"Come here, hurry up and catch these lawless Qiang thieves!" After Zhu Ji said this, he found that no one present was moving randomly.
After the anger in his heart subsided slightly and he just wrote, Zhu Jiyu finally understood the key.
Now the Huns in Chang'an City are no longer able to suppress them.
After all, this initial problem is still unresolved.
"Tai Tuo, to deal with these Northern Qiang now, it is better to use appeasement rather than force!" One of the staff offered advice.
"Appease? How to appease?" Grand Tutor Zhu Ji asked immediately.
Yes, now we can no longer use force, that is, we can only use appeasement.
"Master, these Beiqiang are all short-sighted people, they only want rich women!"
"Since they want these, Taifu can allow them to collect them themselves in the city. If it is not enough, he can also let them go outside the city and collect them themselves!"
"Taking it yourself, doesn't that mean you agree to their robbery?" Zhu Ji was immediately surprised.
The staff member nodded and continued.
"Chang'an City is full of imperial and Han people. Now that your father's country is in danger, why not use their money and silk women to appease some Northern Qiang righteous followers?"
When Grand Tutor Zhu Ji heard this, he immediately agreed with his heart.
Although most of the Xiongnu and Han people lived in Chang'an City, nearly half of the population in the city were Han powerful people and civilians.
Most of the targets of Qiang and Hu plunder were them.
"Okay, good idea. As long as these Beiqiang people grab enough, they should be able to settle down."
Tai Fu Zhu Ji nodded and said.
Anyway, those who were plundered were some Han people in the city. As long as these Qiang and Hu could be stabilized, after the soldiers and horses from Pingyang arrived, everyone could join forces to attack Tongguan.
Only by guarding Tongguan can everything in the future be possible.
Otherwise, if Tongguan is lost, the population and property of Chang'an will fall into the hands of Qingzhou thieves.
Rather than that, it would be better to let these Qiang and Hu people rob themselves.
"Quickly take me to find those Beiqiang Qushuai!"
Grand Tutor Zhu Ji immediately led everyone away in a hurry.
Nowadays, the Qiang and Hu people are busy looting, and it is impossible to summon their leaders to see them. I can only feel sorry for the old man Taifu and go to find them by himself.
After a while.
In the Weiyang Palace at the back, Yang Xianrong, the Queen of the Huns and Han Kingdom, was sitting on the couch with a pale face, the expression on her face was full of surprise and fear.
Looking at that look, he was even more surprised and frightened than when he heard that the Hun Emperor Liu Yao had died in battle.
"What, you said that Zhu Taifu and others will support Liang Wang Liu Yun to proclaim himself emperor?" Yang Xianrong frowned slightly, but there was a bit of jealousy in his eyes.
A Xiao Huangmen knelt on the ground and hurriedly replied.
"Your Highness, everything I say is true. The Tutor and the others have indeed made their decision."
After Yang Xianrong heard the news, he immediately panicked.
The child in her belly had already been predicted by the mage from the Western Region branch country, and it would definitely be a boy.
Moreover, the Xiongnu Emperor Liu Yao had previously told his ministers and generals that he would make the child the crown prince after he was born.
Now Yang Xianrong's belly is about to give birth in less than a month.
If Grand Tutor Zhu Ji and others were loyal ministers, shouldn't they wait for me to give birth?
If the child is a girl, it will not be too late to find Liang Wang Liu Yun to succeed him.
The more Yang Xianrong thought about it, the more it made sense.
It must be Taifu Zhu Ji and those Tuge laozi who deliberately opposed him in order to let Liang Wang Liu Yun succeed him.
"These old men!" Yang Xianrong cursed in a low voice.
The palace maids and Xiao Huangmen who were waiting next to her were all Yang Xianrong's confidants, and now they were naturally thinking of helping the master with advice.
However, these people are limited by their ability and knowledge, and they cannot be called ugly Yinmao at all.
Queen Yang Xianrong suddenly felt something in her heart, as if she remembered something.
She looked at the little yellow door that had just reported to her, and asked very patiently.
"Try again from the beginning what the master and the others discussed about the countermeasures just now!"
After the little Huangmen said it again, Yang Xianrong already had an idea in his mind.
I saw that she ordered someone to take her Queen's Treasure, and then wrote a letter.
After she finished writing the letter, she personally stamped it with the red seal of the Queen's Seal.
Not only that, but some decrees stamped with the Queen's seal were also prepared.
She personally handed these things into the hands of a trusted eunuch.
"Take these things and give them to General Gou Xi outside the city and ask him to come quickly!"
...
Outside Chang'an City, when Queen Yang Xianrong's trusted eunuch found General Gou Xi, Gou Xi already knew the news of the defeat of the Hun Emperor Liu Yao.
Not only that, he also heard that the Huns Emperor Liu Yao had also died in battle.
After seeing the secret edict sent by Queen Yang Xianrong, he was completely certain that the information was correct.
"General Hussars, Your Highness asked me to tell you that there is a crisis in Chang'an City now, with treacherous and cunning ministers holding power. Please lead the troops into the city quickly to appease the people in the city," the young eunuch said.
"How dare I enter the city without authorization without the Tiger Talisman to mobilize troops!" Gou Xi said calmly.
He already had a general understanding of the situation in Chang'an. In short, there were too many rebellious soldiers and people in the city. After the Xiongnu court's new defeat, they were no longer able to suppress them.
"General, the matter is urgent, why are we still worrying about this!" Xiao Huangmen said hurriedly.
"The gates of Chang'an are tightly closed. If I lead my army and can't enter the city, what's the use!" said General Gou Xi.
"General, please don't worry about this matter. His Highness has already made arrangements. As soon as the general's army arrives, they can enter the city immediately!"
After hearing this, General Gou Xi couldn't help but admire Yang Xianrong.
"Okay, this general I will sacrifice my life for my country this time!"
After Gou Xi finished speaking, he stood up with his sword in hand and gave loud orders to the generals on his left and right.
"All armies, hurry up and prepare. In half an hour, they will follow me into the city to quell the chaos. If anyone is late, military law will be engaged!"
After everyone heard the words, they immediately agreed.
Half an hour later, thousands of Gou Xi's soldiers were ready to go.
Although it was getting late, Gou Xi still led his army towards Chang'an City.
After busy running around in Chang'an City for most of the day, Grand Tutor Zhu Ji was already so tired that his mouth was dry.
After all, he used the method of "appeasement" to appease those Qiang and Hu Qushuai.
Although some Han people were going to suffer, or even lose their families, Zhu Ji didn't care.
He had just returned to the mansion and it was already dark.
Suddenly, Taifu Zhu Ji, whose buttocks were still hot from sitting, heard another piece of bad news.
"Taifu, it's not good, the city is in chaos again, and people have started killing people." An official ran in rolling and crawling.
Grand Tutor Zhu Ji didn't care at all, "These Qiang thieves don't know how to restrain themselves and reprimand them later."
"Taifu, it's not the Qiang thieves who killed someone, it's the Qiang thieves who were killed." The subordinate said breathlessly.
"The Qiang thieves were killed? Do ordinary people dare to resist?" Zhu Ji was immediately furious.
Those bastards are even more lawless. Are you so unwilling to use your few possessions and women to appease the Qiang and Hu soldiers?
You really don’t understand the overall situation!
"Taifu, it's Gou Xi who has entered the city, not those unruly people who are causing trouble." The official said with a sad face.
"Gou Xi? Impossible, how could he come in!"
"Master, Gou Xi entered the city on the Queen's order!"
"Queen?" Grand Tutor Zhu Ji was immediately furious.
"Yang Xianrong, this poisonous woman!"
