A carriage stopped in front of Pingcheng Gate.
Seeing that the imperial city gate was closed, He Yong looked up and saw lanterns on the tower, some soldiers patrolling the tower in neat lines, and Fixed sentry.
"Come, call the door."
He Yong summoned a servant and ordered.
In order to save his son, he completely ignored the prohibition that the palace door should not be opened at night.
The servant stepped forward and shouted: "Which general is on duty on the city tower?
My master, the Northern Army Lieutenant Commander He, has urgent business and needs to see General Liu, the Lieutenant General of Yulin."
A head stuck out from the tower and responded: "Master He is a famous person in the world and a minister of the court.
Don't you know the rule that the palace door cannot be opened late at night?
Sir, you'd better go back.
If you have anything important to do, it's not too late to come back tomorrow."
He Yong was so anxious that he could no longer care about his face.
He stepped forward and shouted in person: "I, Mr.
He Yong, could you ask the general on the top of the city tower to give me some mercy?
The situation is really urgent and I have to do it as a last resort.
If the general gives me a slap in the face, I will definitely do it."
I won’t treat the general badly.”
"Lord He, if I give you less money today, tomorrow morning, I'm afraid I will be beheaded for violating military orders, and my head will be hung on this tower.
Please don't embarrass me, Lord He.
It's only a few hours before dawn.
Sir, you should go home and wait patiently, and come back at the right time."
Having said that, He Yong already knew that it was impossible to persuade the other party to open the city gate, so he had to return home worriedly and wait for dawn.
Very early the next day, He Yong rode a carriage to the gate of the imperial city and asked the soldiers on guard to report.
After the soldiers went to report, they quickly led him to the side room of the Yulin Military Yamen lobby and asked him to wait in the side room.
He had been waiting all morning, but he did not dare to show any impatience.
It wasn't until the sun turned to the west that a fierce-looking military attache came over and said to He Yong: "Master He, my general has invited you."
"Okay."
He Yong agreed quickly and followed the military attache to the lobby.
As soon as he walked into the lobby, he saw Liu Cheng coming up to him with clasped fists and a smile: "Haha, I'm really busy with official duties.
I'm neglecting you, Sir.
Come here, serve tea."
He Yong was worried about his son's affairs.
Although he was a famous person in the world, he still wanted to ask for help from others, so he could only lower his attitude and said, "I'm disturbing the general's official duties.
Please forgive me, general."
"It's okay, it's okay."
Liu Cheng waved his hand, "I see Master He has an anxious look on his face, maybe he needs Liu when he encounters some difficulty."
He Yong immediately handed over his hand and told what happened in Wanhua Building last night, and finally sighed: "I have spoiled this evil son so much that he gets into trouble all day long, but I, He Yong, am only such a son.
Therefore, I have to ask the general to help me no matter what, and I will be very grateful."
"Oh, He Kai is actually Lord He's son.
Someone below reported it this morning.
At that time, Liu was very angry.
Isn't this provoking our Yulin Army?
I originally wanted to order strict action, but was delayed due to other matters.
"Yes, so I ordered him to be temporarily detained at that time.
Since Mr.

He came forward in person, I can also give Mr.
He some face, but" Liu Cheng said with a look of hesitation and embarrassment on his face.
He Yong hurriedly asked: "General, just say whatever you want.
Whatever I can do, I will definitely do it."
Liu Cheng shook his head and said: "It's not an embarrassment.
Letting the son go is just a matter of Liu's words.
It's just that I also want to ask Mr.
He for help.
Mr.
He also knows that I have not been able to control the Yulin Army for a long time.
Commander, there are many people in the army who disobey me.
Among them is Xu Rong, the former lieutenant general of the Forbidden Army.
Liu wants to transfer him to the Northern Army as a garrison captain. , it is said that the Tunqi camp has been under no one's control since Bao Hong's death.
The major military commanders in the camp are all rebellious and no one is willing to accept it.
If Xu Rong is transferred to the Tunqi camp, it may be enough for him to drink a pot.
Once he leaves, he will never come back, so Liu wants to ask Mr.
He to recommend Xu Rong as the captain of the Northern Army's Tunqi Camp at tomorrow's court meeting.
I wonder if Mr.
He can help."
He Yong felt a chill in his heart after hearing Liu Cheng's words, and murmured to himself, it turned out that Liu Cheng had such vicious thoughts, it was not uncommon for his subordinates to disobey discipline, he just beat them a lot on weekdays, but like him, he would kill people with just one move.
It's really the first time I've seen it.
However, it was no joke to recommend someone to be a military commander.
He did not agree immediately, but he was thinking of the past.
When Emperor Ling was still alive, the competition for military power between various forces in the DPRK was extremely fierce.
In order to strengthen the centralization of power, Emperor Ling established a separate Xiyuan Army in addition to the Northern Army and the Southern Army.
However, in the end, this Xiyuan Army still failed.
Divided by various forces.
After Bao Hong's death, the positions of Tunqi Xiaowei and Xiyuan Army Xiaoxiao were vacant.
Various forces competed for these two vacancies like sharks smelling fish.
Emperor Ling finally withstood the pressure and did not adopt any side.
Instead of recommending him, these two positions remained vacant until his death.
Later, He Jin used his status as a general to order his subordinate Wang Kuang to secretly make friends with the Sima and military commanders of the upper and lower armies of the Xiyuan Army, and secretly controlled these two armies.
However, without the emperor's edict, Wang Kuang Kuang, the actual controller of the upper and lower armies, has a somewhat unfair reputation.
Therefore, the court is extremely sensitive to these positions.
As long as a minister recommends someone to be one of the captains, someone will soon stand up to oppose it.
No one wants the military power of these armies to fall into the hands of political opponents. .
"Why is Mr.
He unwilling to help Liu?"
Liu Cheng asked with an unkind expression.
"No, no," He Yong hurriedly waved his hand, hesitated and asked, "Dare I ask the general, who does this Xu Rong belong to?"
Liu Cheng sneered: "No one is worthy of me.
This person is just a smelly and hard rock.
He doesn't have much ability.
Everything he does can offend others."
When He Yong heard what Liu Cheng said, he felt a little relieved.

He was afraid that there was someone behind Xu Rong, so he immediately agreed: "Okay, I agree to this matter.
I will recommend Xu Rong to His Majesty at the meeting tomorrow."
July 15th is traditionally the day of the imperial court.
Before dawn, the ministers rushed outside the palace gate to wait for the court, and He Yong was among them.
He was worried about his son's safety.
Now that the situation in the court had just calmed down, he didn't know what would happen to his son He Kai in the imperial barracks.
Such treatment, but it was time to go to court, and he could not go to see Liu Cheng in private, so he could only go there with the ministers.
There are quite a lot of people attending the court today.
All civil servants and generals with a rank of more than a thousand stones will come to attend the court meeting.
Liu Cheng is personally on duty in front of the Quefei Palace.
Today, the ministers seem to be more well-behaved.
No one dared to go to the palace wearing swords or shoes, and the imperial power of the Han Dynasty seemed to have regained its former majesty.
Eunuch Zhao Chun shouted loudly with his duck voice: "If there is something to do, we will start, if there is nothing to do, we will leave the court."
He Yong immediately stood up and bowed and said: "Your Majesty, I have this memorial."
Liu Bian asked at the signal of Queen Mother He: "What does He Aiqing have to report?"
"Your Majesty, since Bao Hong was imprisoned and died in prison, the position of the Northern Army's Cavalry Colonel has been vacant.
It is not a good thing to have an army without a leader.
This is not conducive to the government's control of the army, and it is easy for people with ulterior motives to take advantage of it.
This is This is a major military and state matter, and I am serving as the commander of the Northern Army.
In recent days, I have discovered that someone has privately contacted the officers of the Tunqi Battalion and the commander of the army.
For the purpose of the imperial court, I recommended Xu Rong, the former Lieutenant General of the Imperial Army, to be appointed as the Colonel of the Tunqi Camp. , so that the imperial court can strengthen its control over the Tunqi camp."
This recommendation caught all the forces in the court off guard, especially Yuan Shao and others.
Yuan Shao could be said to be a political ally with He Yong and had a deep relationship with him.
He Yong made this recommendation without consulting or greeting him in advance.
This There was something about it that made him feel like something was wrong
