Chapter 6 Inauguration of Guang Luxun

The Minister of Shangshu Lu Zhi just saw Empress Dowager He and Lu Bu discuss some things, so he stood in a distance and held a guard. Suddenly, he heard Empress Dowager He issued a loud imperial edict and hurriedly stepped forward and knelt down: "General Lu killed the traitor and saved the empress dowager. He had made great contributions, but he was suddenly promoted from the chief clerk to the Nine Ministers. I am afraid that the savages in the court would be dissatisfied and that they would be unfavorable to General Lu, so I asked the empress dowager to take back the imperial imperial edict."

Lu Bu secretly praised in his heart. The old man Lu Zhi is really good at speaking. If it were Yuan Shu and other bastards, they might have cursed on the spot: "How can poor children be the Nine Ministers!"

No matter what Lu Zhi was doing, it could be considered as helping Lu Bu turn down the errands he didn't want to do. Lu Bu bowed to Lu Zhi with conscience.

Although Empress Dowager He has never liked this minister who was too upright, she frowned when she thought of his sincere loyalty to the country and was unwilling to make things difficult for him: "With Lord Lu's intention, what reward should Lu Bu be given? The Ai family does not want their subordinates to think that the Ai family is a mean, stingy and ungrateful empress dowager."

Lu Zhi had commanded Ding Yuan when he attacked the Yellow Turbans. At that time, Lu Bu was already under Ding Yuan's command. Lu Zhi had always known Lu Bu's courage and knew that Lu Bu came from Jiuyuan, a border area. He made great contributions when fighting against the Southern Xiongnu and Xianbei. Unfortunately, most of them were not reported to the court by Ding Yuan, so he was placed in the position of chief clerk.

Lu Zhi did not want Lu Bu to waste his talents in the guarding palaces. When he thought of the Black Mountain bandits, Baibo bandits, Southern Xiongnu, and Xianbei in rebellion, he remembered a suitable position: "General Lu was originally from Jiuyuan, a border area. He was familiar with border affairs, and he became more skilled in archery and horses, brave and good at fighting, and had the courage of thousands of men to injure the power of the gods. Since the former Du Liao General Huangfugui passed away, the current Du Liao General Geng Zhi was foolish and incompetent, and could only sit and watch the Xiongnu, Wuhuan, and Xianbei raid the border and burn, kill and loot all kinds of evil. If General Lu was promoted to Du Liao General, he would be able to defend the border for the country."

Lu Buba was not allowed to stay away from the subsequent melee between Dong Zhuo and the Kanto princes. Lu Zhi said the words were right. Without waiting for Empress Dowager He to say goodbye: "Thank you for the grace of the Empress Dowager, I will definitely serve the country with loyalty and devote myself to your entire life until you die."

After hearing Lu Bu's words, Lu Zhi's eyes lit up, "serving his country with loyalty" and "devoting his whole life to the death." It seems that he has underestimated Lu Bu. He has such literary talent and such loyalty and ambition. He must promote this junior in the future.

But he didn't know that the country in Lu Bu's words "loyalty to serve the country" did not refer to the country represented by the Liu Han Dynasty but the Han people all over the world.

Queen Mother He was a little angry when Lu Bu was general, and her pink face turned red: "Okay, okay, I will order you to be the general of Du Liao, but before you take office, you will temporarily take up the position of Guangluxun and guard the palace for the Ai family, in case some unsightly slaves break in and kill and set fire at any time."

Empress Dowager He looked angrily in the distance. Yuan Shao, Yuan Shu and others were killing eunuchs wantonly, and even set fire to the palace to destroy the eunuchs who were hiding.

Lu Zhi was surprised. Lu Bu was Ding Yuan's adopted son. If Lu Bu was allowed to be Guangluxun in charge of the palace defense, Ding Yuan was the Jinwu in charge of the capital defense. If Ding Yuan had a strange intention and would be out of control, the woman's opinion was really terrible, so she knelt down on the ground: "Guangluxun was originally the general. Now the general was killed by eunuchs. The army under Guangluxun had no heads and could not guarantee the safety of the palace. For today's plan, he can ask General He Miao, the chariot and cavalry, to serve as Guangluxun."

After Lu Zhi said this, Lu Bu suddenly remembered that during the Eastern Han Dynasty, there were three major garrison systems in the capital: Guangluxun, Weiwei, and Jinwu. Guangluxun, who were in charge of palace guards and personal protection of the emperor and the emperor. He was known as the Inner Guard. Weiwei was in charge of the Southern Army, the Palace Guard, the Palace Guard, and the Day and Night Patrol and Procuratorial Guard of the Palace, also known as Lieutenant. He was in charge of the imperial guards of the Dianshi and the Security of the Capital and the Palace City. The emperor also had to be responsible for the ceremonial guards and guards when traveling, and was called the Outer Guard. Guangluxun was divided into seven departments, namely the Five-Secret General, the Left General, the Right General, the Tiger Ben General, the Yulin Central Army, the Yulin Left Supervisor, and the Yulin Right Supervisor.

It seems that Guangluxun's position is not just for the royal family to guard the house, but also can take the opportunity to take charge of the military power of the Hu Ben Army and the Yulin Army among the imperial guards. Guangluxun is really a good position for Lu Bu who is determined to find an opportunity to leave Ding Yuan, but the old man Lu Zhi has sufficient reasons for opposing it, and Lu Bu has nothing to say.

As soon as Lu Zhi finished speaking, he heard a scream: "He Miao conspired to kill brother, he should kill him together!"

Lu Bu and the other two went to see in a blink of an eye. It turned out that it was He Jin's general Wu Kuang, who was dissatisfied with He Jin's half-brother He Miao's closeness to the eunuchs and betrayed his brother, and led the soldiers to cut He Miao into minced meat.

Empress Dowager He was inexplicably sad and angry. She opened her eyes wide and pointed at Wu Kuang and said to Lu Bu: "General Lu, go and get rid of Wu Kuang, this traitor, and I will grant you the general."

Queen Mother He was not very sad about He Jin's death because He Jin was half-sister of the same father and He Miao were brothers and sisters of the same father and mother.

Lu Zhi immediately knelt down: "The Empress Dowager should not kill the meritorious minister because of her temporary aura. He Miao did collude with the Ten Constant Assistant to murder his mate. The evidence of the crime was conclusive and he would not forgive the ten evils."

Lu Zhi actually didn't say anything in his heart. Your Empress Dowager He issued an edict to lead He into the palace. He also had a crime of complicity in murdering his brother. Your crime of punishing Wu Kuang was not at all reasonable.

Queen Mother He knew very well that although Wu Kuang was He Jin's army, he was Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu's. Now that the general He Jin is dead, she has no support outside the palace and cannot beat the Yuan brothers.

She had never heard of Lu Bu's name before. When she looked at Lu Bu without any pretentiousness, she knew that Lu Bu was born in a poor family and definitely not from a family. After asking a little, she found that he had no connection with the Yuan family, so Lu Bu was easy to win over and control. She could just promote Lu Bu to restrain the Yuan family's power and protect her own safety.

Queen Mother He waved her hand: "Forget it, I won't hold them accountable for the time being. General Lu, now the general and the general of the chariot and cavalry have died suddenly, and their soldiers and horses are headless. Ai's family wants you to go and command. What do you think?"

Lu Bu was overjoyed. This was really a pillow when he was sleepy. He was trying his best to get some actual military power and go out from Ding Yuan's command, so he received an order to thank him: "I will go right away!"

Queen Mother He said to Lu Zhi again: "Mr. Lu, now in the crisis of the country, it is time to hire people. You don't have to resign and retire. You should resign from the position of the Shangshu. I will draft an edict for me and order Lu Bu to temporarily serve Guangluxun, Ding Yuan retreated to become the cavalry commander, and Lord Lu, you should also serve as the Jinwu."

Seeing that He Miao died suddenly, Lu Zhi knew that a powerful general must be in charge of He Jin and He Miao's remnants to calm the situation. Besides, Lu Bu was only a temporary service, so he issued an imperial edict at the Shangshutai according to the oral order of Empress Dowager He.

Lu Bu took the imperial edict and informed Ding Yuan. Although Ding Yuan hated Lu Bu's good luck, he had to give Lu Bu three thousand Bingzhou cavalry to complete the imperial order.

Lu Bu led the generals such as Gao Shun, Qin Yi and others, and with three thousand cavalrymen, the left and right Yulin Army, the Hu Ben Army, the fifth battalion of the Northern Army and the camp stationed by He Miao's chariot and cavalry troops.
