Chapter 36 Waiting

Han Capital, Luoyang

Under the city, more than a hundred guards wearing Han army armor were waiting here, waiting from afar.

After staring at the surrounding city walls for a while, Zhao Yun sighed first: "I didn't expect that one day, I will have the moment to enter the capital."

Because the Han Dynasty inherited the Qin system, the concept of hierarchy was extremely important.

Generally, for ordinary people, if they do not have much opportunity, they will basically never deviate from their hometowns in their entire lives.

Some even have never even stepped into the county town in their lifetime, not to mention the capital full of symbols and legendary colors.

Zhao Yun also started out in the underworld. Although he was also a time traveler, he still did not expect that he could see the style of the Han imperial capital before he could reach the title.

Looking at Luoyang Capital, however, it is indeed outstanding as the capital.

Although today, the powerful have already formed a powerful force, taking in tenants, land annexation, and secretly accumulating strength.

Under the exploitation of landlords and gentry, the people were also living in poverty. Refugees were hungry and thieves were everywhere, causing unstable regimes.

But today, Luoyang is still a prosperous place, with a city wall of about four meters high and a thickness of about two meters.

According to the weights and measures of the Han Dynasty, one foot is about 23 cm, and one foot should be about 2.3 meters.

Four feet is about ten meters. After a comprehensive evaluation, the city wall of Luoyang, the Han capital, is 10 meters, which is also within the normal category.

After all, ordinary county towns are just two or three meters of rammed earth walls.

Immediately following, pairs of patrol guards were wandering back and forth under two large iron gates in Luoyang.

Vendors from all over the country were also coming and going, which made the city gate slightly lively and made the Han people look a little noisy.

After stopping for a long time, Zhao Yun came back to his senses and waved his hand and said, "A Quan, Guoxing, call on his subordinates and prepare to enter the city!"

Although Zhao Yun was ordered to enter the capital this time, he was also an upper-level officer in the army, but he also approved the selection of more than a hundred soldiers to accompany him.

After cleaning up, more than a hundred soldiers, led by Zhao Yun, slowly walked through the city gate and entered the city unobstructedly.

After all, there is also an imperial edict with you, and the city gate generals have verified the authenticity, but they are not too difficult.

After entering the city, Zhao Yun and his party did not enter the palace immediately, but went to the hall to rest and wait for summoning.

When meeting the emperor, all foreign generals need to wait for summoning, otherwise it would be against etiquette.

The great Han Dynasty attached great importance to etiquette and fame.

If you lose these two things, it will be equivalent to not having a foundation and will also lose the promotion.

Guanyizhong

After the general was settled, Zhao Yun waited quietly, waiting for the good news.

This is a decision that has been discussed with Zhao Quan all the way. After entering Beijing, act in a low-key manner and do not reveal any violations or even flaws.

Although Huangfu Song valued him very much in the court, Zhao Yun was also from a low-key manner and had no background in the court.

If you rashly enter the court, you must be extremely cautious in your actions. It should be noted that the current court is extremely chaotic.

The ten regular attendants in the palace were in control of the government and were also in great power, but the foreign court's group of scholars was dependent on the power of the foreign relatives He Jin.

The eunuchs and relatives fought each other and continued.

For foreign generals, the best way is to not help each other and be cautious in taking sides.

Otherwise, Zhao Yun, who has no background, may be swept into the political trend sooner or later.

Every step you take, you must be calm, otherwise you will never know how to die.

On the way, the plan discussed by Zhao Yun and Zhao Quan was to wait for the opportunity after entering Beijing and wait for the summoning of the emperor.

Then, he also closed his door to thank the guests, forbidden to receive anyone, avoiding suspicion, so as not to mistakenly think that he was forming cliques.

It is precisely because of this that Zhao Yun did not intend to rely on the Ten Generals of the People and even He Jin to join him this time.

Showing a kind of person who is not afraid of power, does not rely on any powerful person in Luoyang, and maintains neutrality!

Only in this way can we show loyal ministers to the Han Dynasty, which surprised the emperor and attached importance to him.

For foreign generals like Zhao Yun who have no background, easily taking sides will only be crushed into the long river of history and no bones will remain.

Duan Hun, a famous general of Pingqiang, had outstanding achievements and outstanding achievements throughout his life.

But what was the result? Just because he was dependent on the eunuch, his ending was that he became a political victim in the party struggle.

It can be seen from this that no matter how prominent the foreign generals are, they will be extremely humble and insignificant when they are involved in disputes over interests between the court.

······

For several consecutive days, Zhao Yun was immersed in the museum every day, leaving behind a door to greet guests, and did not take the initiative to pay homage to any powerful people.

Emperor Liu Hong had not issued an edict yet and summoned him to the palace.

For a moment, although he did not make any moves, Zhao Yun was not impatient and continued to maintain a normal mind and stayed in the hall.

In my spare time every day, I either practice gun skills on the field with a gun, or I will talk to everyone to cultivate friendship.

In recent days, Zhang Daniu, Zhang Erniu and even Xu Rong have been impressed by Zhao Yun's personality charm.

Although Zhao Yun was a captain, he was very easy-going. In normal times, as long as he did not violate military laws, he would not beat and scold soldiers at will.

Therefore, it is precisely the various factors that have completely brought more than a hundred soldiers to their hearts and become their private soldiers.

However, suddenly, a distinguished guest arrived outside the hall.

"Ayun, the younger brother of the general outside the city, the captain of the Yueqi cavalry, and the Yin of Henan He Miao asked for a meeting. I wonder if he would summon him?"

"Didn't see him, drive him away!"

Upon hearing this, Zhao Yun suddenly had a golden light in his eyes and said coldly.

He Miao asked for a meeting and knew very well that this must be He Jin who sent his brother to test his words in order to win over him.

For generals like Zhao Yun who have both ability and have made military achievements, He Jin really hopes to suck him into the shogunate.

After all, although the Ten Constables were quite powerful, they were only limited to the inner court.

All their rights were given by the emperor. Once the son died today, He Jin would immediately join the palace and carry out the matter of establishing an emperor!

In this way, even if the eunuchs are deeply rooted in their power, they are essentially unable to compete with foreign relatives who have military power.

If He Jin hadn't been too stupid in the original history, he was smart and used Yuan Shao's strategy to call on foreign troops to enter the capital.

How could he lose his body in the palace and lose his life to the eunuch party?

However, although He Jin is determined to make friends with Zhao Yun, he is not suspicious of the emperor for his own safety.

Zhao Yun also decisively declined He Miao's summons. In the Luoyang palace, if you want to keep yourself safe, you can only draw a clear line.

In this case, rejecting He Miao and avoiding contact with relatives has become an inevitable choice.

Outside the Pavilion

After receiving the order, Xu Rong led more than ten soldiers, standing tall with their heads held high and holding their swords.

"Person He, according to the order of Captain Zhao, I don't want to meet with him. You might as well ask him to go back."

This statement is extremely high, and can be heard in all circles and around, and its attitude is extremely unfriendly.

After the words came, Xu Rong had already led the troops back, and then closed the house and closed the door to thank the guests.

Seeing that Zhao Yun had a clear attitude and refused directly, He Miao had no worries for a while, and led the scholars from the side to leave slowly!

But no one expected that his face was gloomy at this time, and he directly hated Zhao Yun, who was ignorant of his ungratefulness.
