In the twentieth year of Dong Zhuo's entry into Beijing, the funeral of Emperor Liu Hong of the Han Xiaojian Dynasty was held as scheduled, and at the same time, there were also Jian Shuo and Cui Lie, who were buried with the princes.

The white flags of the funeral were discharged for more than ten miles, thousands of horses galloped on the official road, and the people of the entire division wore linen and filial piety, and the sound of mourning shook Sanfu.

Ma Yue thought that he would cry a lot on the way to the funeral, but at this moment, the past was repeated, walking on the long Shinto, but he found that he could not shed a single tear except for the grief in his heart.

Grief is sorrow, pain is heartache.

There is no pain of skin peeling, but there is the fact of broken arms and spine.

Man, gone.

Emperor Xiaojian's coffin and Jian Shuo Cui Lie's coffin was put into the deep and cold underground palace, in the treasure city to enjoy the palace, the hussar general Dong Zhong put the spirit of Emperor Xiaojian in the center, Ma Yue arched his hand to straighten Cui Lie's spirit card, holding the last spirit card, but he didn't see the action for a long time, and gritted his teeth tightly.

In his hand, the spirit card reads, "Attendant Eunuch Jiao."

Lame.

"Jun Hao, all the officials are waiting for you, what are you thinking?"

Dong Zhong saw Ma Yue silently pinching the spirit card, raised his arm and touched Ma Yue and asked quietly, he saw that Ma Yue's face was not good, and then looked at the spirit card in his hand, and his face turned pale in an instant, and he understood everything.

Of these three tokens, Liu Hong is the standard Daxing Emperor, and Cui Lie wrote to Anping Cui Gonglie, but Jian Shuo's spirit card reads the attendant eunuch...... Ma Yue only remembered to repay Cui Lie's life-saving grace and forcibly bury him in the imperial mausoleum through the ceremony of the prince in the court, but he ignored Jian Shuo's funeral specifications, the attendant eunuch, these four words are clearly four knives pierced in his heart, this is the person who accompanies the funeral!

If you control the soldiers and horses in the world, work hard for Liu Hong's aftermath to death, and defend the heroes of the new emperor, in the end he is just a person who accompanies the funeral...... If he is grateful to Dade's Jian Shuo in the end is just a person who is buried with him, then the guilt in his heart will not be let go in this life!

"What was I thinking? Hussar General asked a good question...... I want to kill. Ma Yue's face was very stiff, he pursed his lips, licked his chapped lips with the tip of his tongue, frowned and asked Dong Chong, his tone was flat but chilling from the bottom of his heart, and said, "Who ordered this token?" ”

"Shang, Shangshu Zheng Tai, it's not Jun Hao, you calm your anger first." No one knew better than Dong Zhong how crazy Ma Yue's anger was, and hurriedly shouted: "It's a bastard, the captain of the military academy is a meritorious man who welcomed His Majesty to the throne, and he would make such a mistake!" Your Majesty, the minister immediately asked Zheng Tai to be dismissed and demoted to a concubine. ”

Xiao Liu Xie, who was dressed in plain clothes, didn't even understand what this meant, he didn't understand what Dong Chong said about removing Zheng Tai, a famous man who had been famous in the sea for a long time, but he understood that everything should be asked what Mr. thought, and at the moment, the Empress Dowager Dong didn't have time to stop it, so she turned her head to Ma Yue and asked, "What does Guang Luqing think?" ”

Empress Dowager Dong pulled Xiao Liu Xie and said, "Your Majesty, what the hussar general said is very true, so it's right." ”

"Minister, I don't agree."

"Ma Yue, you ......" Dong Chong knew that something big was going to happen as soon as he saw Ma Yue's expression, and hurriedly said to the Empress Dowager Dong and said to Ma Yue: "Guangluxun, since the Empress Dowager has been gracious, then Zheng Tai will be dismissed and the spirit card of the captain will be remade, so be it...... Don't make a fuss and end badly. ”

"I said, minister, I don't agree." Ma Yue didn't even look at Dong Chong, he exerted his hand, pinched the spirit card, turned his head and bowed down to Liu Xie and said: "Your Majesty, Dong Hussar also said, this is a big mistake, please escort Zheng Tai to Huangmen Temple Prison." ”

"This, this is not in accordance with the law, Jun Hao, Zheng Tai was a hero when he was young, and later he became more famous in the Sili area, He Jin asked him not to move, you have lived like this...... Give the dude a face and let him go. ”

Ma Yue looked at Dong Chong, his heart became more and more bored, looking back at the faces of the hundred officials, one by one he looked down and did not dare to speak, took a deep breath, Ma Yue sighed: "Brother, Jun Hao didn't mean to refute your face, but like that...... Who gave face to Brother Jian. ”

Who will give face to a dead man.

Dong Chong's face was pale, this was the first time Ma Yue had contradicted him, and he was so public that he could not refuse. Who is he? He is the nephew of the current Empress Dowager, his father once died for the Empress Dowager Dong, and now he is the only relative in the court, even if Ma Yue works hard, he is just a child in Dong Chong's eyes, "San Lang, Ma San Lang, listen to my brother, so be it." Could it be that you want to be angry and become a brother for this? ”

In the end, Dong Chong's face was already full of anger, he waved his robe, turned around and said: "At the beginning, escort Zheng Shangshu to Shangshutai to report on his work and hang the seal, and sent Mu Shisi to make a spirit card for Captain Jian, and it will be sent within half an hour." ”

Yuan Shao arched his hand, pulled Zheng Tai among the hundred officials and walked outside the hall, Ma Yue crossed his arms and glared at Dong Chong's back, raised his face to face the palace door, and said nothing.

Empress Dowager Dong squinted at Ma Yue, while Liu Xie took two steps, got closer to Ma Yue, and dragged Ma Yue's foot.

The Son of Heaven was appeasing him.

Ma Yue nodded slightly, indicating that he was fine. Look at what awaits the temple gates.

The warrior who was waiting at the gate of the palace, but his cheap nephew Pei Ruo could make Yuan Benchu take a step out of the palace gate.

"Bell!" "Bell!" "Bell!" "Bell!"

Seeing that Yuan Shao was about to step out of the threshold with a few attendants escorting Zheng Tai, Pei Ruoyi, who was standing with a sword, waved his hand, and the warriors standing on both sides of the Shendao Gate instantly raised their Changge forks together.

Yuan Shao, how dare you take a step?

"Haha!" Dong Zhuo, a former general dressed in white filial piety, pointed to Yuan Shao, who was eating at the door, and laughed, suddenly realizing that this was the mausoleum of the first emperor and immediately suppressed his smile, glanced left and right in a stingy manner, and then coughed embarrassedly twice, and stood among the military attaches with his face suffocated.

"Ma Junhao!" Dong Zhong waved his sleeves, took a big step in the hall, and withdrew a few steps without a trace, only then looked back at Ma Yue and shouted: "It's too much!" ”

Ma Yue stiffened his neck, looked at the angry Dong Zhong with a fearless expression, raised his hand and gently grabbed his hair, and heard the sound of a sword unsheathed around him, it was the guard of the Hussar Mansion. Hanging his head, Ma Yue saw Liu Xie looking up at his little face, the expression on his face was a little worried, Ma Yue shook his head lightly, smiled and half-squatted to look at Liu Xie, and said lightly: "Your Majesty in person, under the weapon." ”

As soon as Ma Yue's words fell, Dong Zhuo waved his hand, and Hua Xiong, who was wearing a helmet and armor behind him, stepped out, and walked to the guard behind Dong Zhong without saying a word.

No one doubted that the five richly clad Hussar guards of this bare-handed Kansai warrior were no match either.

At this time, Ma Yue got up and took two steps towards Dong Chong, and said with a smile: "Dong Hussar, calm your anger." ”

"Jun Hao is not a rude person, it is better to do this, let me ask Zheng Tai, why did he set up such a spiritual position for Captain Jian, if he is justified, he is not guilty. If he is unreasonable, Huangmen Temple, how? ”

Seeing that his guards were disarmed by the Kansai warriors behind Dong Zhuo, Dong Chong gritted his teeth in shock and fear, but when he heard Ma Yue's soft words, he sighed, nodded, and said in order to save face: "This time, the old man doesn't care about you, San Lang, don't be so impulsive in the future, teach others to see jokes." ”

"What Dong Huqi has learned is to keep it in mind."

Ma Yue smiled apologetically, brushed his hand on his chest, and then turned his head and said loudly: "Zheng Tai, come forward." ”

When Zheng Tai heard this, he glanced at Yuan Shao, although Yuan Shao's hand was very tight, he still broke away and straightened his head, strode through the hall of enjoyment where hundreds of officials stood solemnly, raised his head and gently arched his hand: "What did Guangluxun ask?" ”

Zheng Tai's eyebrows are upright, he has a neat and beautiful beard under his chin, and his upright body carries a sense of righteousness, so he stands in front of Ma Yue without being humble or arrogant. He was giving up, but Ma Yue didn't see his head bowed.

Ma Yue thought that no one could hold his head high proudly in front of him.

"I want to ask you, why did you make such a spiritual position for the captain of the military academy." Ma Yue asked, "Don't you know that he is a meritorious hero of His Majesty's accession to the throne?" ”

"Hui Guang Luxun, I only know that His Majesty told Cui Gong and Jian Xiaowei to be buried in Wenling with the first emperor, which is a great honor for his courtiers." Zheng Tai said with a little arrogance: "Guangluxun said in the court that Cui Gong's princely gift, according to the etiquette system, the spiritual position of the eunuch is like this. ”

"A great honor indeed." Ma Yue squinted his eyes and nodded, his hand raised high, but it fell slowly, and he sighed and said, "You go, do your Shangshu Order with peace of mind." ”

Ma Yue hated Zheng Tai very much, and he admired this Shang Shuling who dared to talk to him with his head held high. It's just that there are some ideas that he can't recognize.

If you are so honored, it becomes a great honor that you can't even write your name in the tomb...... Ma Yue really wanted to bury this Zheng Tai alive in Wenling with personal feelings in accordance with the etiquette system, but those were all bullshit.

Ma Yue, who led hundreds of officials to the funeral and returned to Luo, didn't say anything, and paced slowly on the horse.

Preparing for the accession of the little emperor Liu Xie, how to curb the rapidly expanding influence of Dong Chong's hussar mansion, and how to deal with the relationship between the hundred officials in the court were things that he urgently needed to consider, but before that, he had to do something that he did not want to do.

"San Lang, just let the surnamed Zheng go in the end, and there is no punishment yet." Dong Zhuo rode his horse beside Ma Yue with his stomach straight, his leisurely appearance seemed to be out of the house to play, his nose was wrinkled, but his eyes widened with greed, "How good it is to slaughter with a knife, I heard that he is a big man in Shandong, and his family has four or five hundred acres of land, just looking for a top official and copying it to the soldiers, how good!" ”

"What did Brother Zhong say, don't mention the murder in Luoyang, this is at the feet of the Son of Heaven." Ma Yue shook his hand and held the whip and pointed to the fertile land around him and said: "I know, the brothers below are dying in order to enjoy glory and wealth in Luoyang, I know." But we can't cut off other people's lives because we are rich, alas, here, it's difficult. ”

Approaching the capital, Ma Yue looked at Ma Xi and shook his head.

"When I have a chance in the future, I will find the highest mountain in Liangzhou, bury all the brothers who died for me there, and let them see ......"

"See what?"

"Look at how different the world will be because of my horse!"
