Trash!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Seeing this, Liu Hong felt quite regretful, but he let out a cold snort on the surface and prepared to end the court session.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Zhang Rang immediately understood and said, \"If there are memorials, present them; if not, the court is adjourned.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>At this moment, a censor stepped out of the ranks and said, \"Report to Your Majesty! Your subject, Gentleman-Consultant Wang You, impeaches the Northern General of the Household for dereliction of duty and procrastination. He has intentionally delayed the time to suppress the rebels and has not moved his troops for a long time, raising suspicions that he is 'nurturing the enemy to ensure his own importance.' I beg Your Majesty to clarify the situation!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"Uproar!!!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Once this impeachment was voiced, the court below was instantly in an uproar.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>There were those watching the show, those who were astonished, those who were hostile... and so on, all sorts of reactions.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>He Jin, meanwhile, curled the corner of his mouth slightly.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>That’s right, this person was arranged by him.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Last night, Lord Yuan Shao had come to find him, speaking of the threat posed by Lu Zhi and the plan to frame Lu Zhi, have him removed, and promote Dong Zhuo to his position.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>He Jin naturally agreed.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>After all, Dong Zhuo was his man!\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"Hmm?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Liu Hong frowned upon hearing this, then turned to look at Zhang Rang beside him and asked, \"Zhang Rang, is what this person says true? Has Lu Zhi really not moved his troops for many days?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Zhang Rang could see that Liu Hong was somewhat convinced and also somewhat displeased.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>At the same time, he also saw that this was Lord Yuan Feng and the others wanting to get rid of Lu Zhi to \"pick the peaches\" for themselves.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>As for why he didn't suspect He Jin?\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Ha! It wasn't that Zhang Rang looked down on He Jin, but with He Jin's brain, he could absolutely never come up with such a plan.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"However, this Lu Zhi is upright and unyielding, and he is also very hostile toward us eunuchs.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"If he truly gains the great merit of suppressing the rebellion and reaches the pinnacle of the imperial court, it would truly not be a good thing for us eunuchs.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>With this thought in mind, Zhang Rang immediately bowed and replied, \"Returning to Your Majesty, the battle reports transmitted from Jizhou are indeed as stated.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"However, this slave feels that General Lu is, after all, a commander-in-chief of a region; we cannot truly arrest him and hold him accountable based on the words of a single Gentleman-Consultant!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"Why does Your Majesty not send someone to question Lu Zhi and verify the facts?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"If it is not true, that is naturally for the best.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"After all, suppressing the rebellion is the priority.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"If it is true, Your Majesty can have the envoy sent to verify the facts deliver a verbal reprimand on your behalf, and order General Lu to move his troops immediately and suppress the rebel Zhang Jiao within the stipulated time.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Zhang Rang's words appeared to be favoring Lu Zhi, speaking for him and fighting for an opportunity.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>In reality, it was the opposite.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>What kind of people would Liu Hong be able to send as envoys?\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>What kind of people could Liu Hong trust?\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Naturally, it would be eunuchs like them!\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>And the thing Lu Zhi despised and looked down upon most were eunuchs; could he possibly say anything pleasant?\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Furthermore, while Lu Zhi’s temper was foul and stubborn, he was truly capable in warfare. Since he had chosen his current tactics, there must certainly be a reason for it.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Zhang Rang considered himself to have a deep understanding of Lu Zhi.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>He knew it was impossible for him to comply and change his tactics just because of a reprimand delivered by a eunuch.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>The final result would certainly be Lu Zhi refusing to obey the order, which would inevitably lead to him being taken to Luoyang in a prisoner cart, losing his position as the commander-in-chief of Jizhou.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>As for whether Lord Yuan Feng and the others' scheme would succeed in replacing Lu Zhi with their own man to \"pick the peaches\" in Jizhou?\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Zhang Rang could only say that Lord Yuan Feng and the others were truly \"thinking of peaches to eat\" (daydreaming).\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>He certainly didn't understand the intricacies of leading troops in battle.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>But he understood Lu Zhi, he understood Zhang Jiao, and he understood the Emperor; that was enough.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>If Zhang Jiao were truly that simple, he wouldn't have forced a famous general like Lu Zhi to use a step-by-step tactical approach to slowly wear him down.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>The newly replaced commander would have to satisfy the Emperor, so he certainly couldn't continue using Lu Zhi's tactics and would have to seek a quick victory. If the result didn't deviate from Zhang Rang's expectations, it would inevitably be a crushing defeat.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>By then, Lord Yuan Feng and the others would certainly have \"tried to steal a chicken only to lose the rice used to lure it.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Zhang Rang would just sit back and wait to watch the show.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"Hmm?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Liu Hong was somewhat surprised when he heard Zhang Rang's words and turned his head to look at him; it was clearly unexpected that Zhang Rang would actually speak up for Lu Zhi.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>He was well aware that Lu Zhi despised eunuchs and that his relationship with Zhang Rang should be very poor.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>But Zhang Rang's words did indeed make sense, so he immediately looked at the officials and said, \"What Zhang Rang says is very reasonable! As a commander-in-chief, Lu Zhi cannot be moved lightly.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"Let the Lesser Huangmen Zuo Feng act as the imperial envoy to go to the Jizhou front lines on my behalf and investigate the truth!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"Court adjourned!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Having said this, Liu Hong did not give the people below another chance to speak; he waved his hand, stood up, and left the great hall.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Once they had walked some distance and Zhang Rang had caught up, Liu Hong looked at him with curiosity and asked, \"Does Father-in-law (a title for Zhang Rang) not dislike Lu Zhi? Why did you speak good words for him today?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Upon hearing this, Zhang Rang pretended that sweat was slightly beading on his forehead and said in fear and trepidation, \"Your Majesty has wronged this old slave!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"Everything this old slave said was for the sake of Your Majesty, and for the sake of suppressing the rebellion as soon as possible!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"How could this old slave let personal feelings interfere with public duty and frame a commanding general at the front lines during such a critical moment?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Liu Hong suddenly realized the truth upon hearing this.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>With an apologetic expression, he reached out and patted Zhang Rang on the shoulder to comfort him, saying, \"It was I who wronged Father-in-law! I am very pleased that you can think of me in this way.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"If everyone in the court could be as loyal as you, and single-mindedly serve the public, that would be wonderful!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"The world would not have rotted to the state it is in now.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"Unfortunately, they are all just a group of selfish and self-interested people.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"Only you, Father-in-law, are of one heart with me.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Chr\u002F>\u003Cp>\u003Cem>— Author's Notes —\u003C\u002Fem>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>PS: The new book is on the shelves; I ask for first subscriptions, auto-subscriptions, and support!\u003C\u002Fp>",1364,"2026-06-16T22:46:39.318Z","2026-06-17T08:57:40.402Z",1,"Gemini 3.1 Flash Lite","8ab7678cd27514087b7f41e1974789c0ba75ed37f331734f356fa7adf3c7091c","heaven-defying-comprehension-building-an-eternal-chapter-73","heaven-defying-comprehension-building-an-eternal-chapter-71",467,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fheaven-defying-comprehension-building-an-eternal-cover.jpg"]
