Luoyang.

The monstrous power and the coercion of the flags of the people have eclipsed the most prosperous metropolis in the world.

For seven days, there was no other figure or sound in the streets and alleys of Luoyang City except for the sound of armored men in armor and the hooves of tall horses stepping on the ground. The power of the generals who were guarded by the straight sword and the horse arched has largely surpassed the imperial power in this era.

Even, this kind of general power was recognized by the imperial power.

The transfer of power has always been in the hands of the Empress Dowager Dong, Ma Yue assisted the country, and the Empress Dowager Dong handed over power to Ma Yue; Yuan Shao was in power, and Empress Dowager Dong gave power to Yuan. On the surface, the dispute between the prime minister and the royal family is in a dilemma, but in fact it still continues the checks and balances strategy of Liu Hong's period. Only this time...... No one can stop the power from taking precedence over the prime minister.

Ma Yue wants to kill Yuan Shao!

Imperial Palace, Yongle.

This is the dormitory of the Empress Dowager Dong, there has been no court meeting recently, the death of Ma Xiu, the major general of Liangzhou, has stopped the entire court machine, and even a letter can not be sent out of Luoyang City, and even the court meeting has stopped.

On this day, King Chen and Liu Chong paid homage to the Empress Dowager Dong.

"Liu Pet meets the Empress Dowager!" In Yongle Palace, Liu Pet bowed down and bowed, without the slightest pretentiousness. However, the Empress Dowager Dong lost her arrogance when she met with Ma Yue, got up and waved her hand to help Liu Chong and said: "King Chen, get up quickly, you don't have to be polite in front of the old body." ”

Counting up, Liu Pet and Empress Dowager Dong are the same generation. Liu Hong has to call Liu Chong an imperial uncle...... Although Liu Chong, the king of Chen, was only forty years old, he and Liu Hong's father, Liu Chang, the marquis of Xie Duting, were both great-great-grandsons of Emperor Ming of the Han Dynasty.

"Your Majesty doesn't dare, the Empress Dowager is fine." Liu Chong arched his hand, exchanged a few words with the Empress Dowager Dong, and then turned to the recent events in Luoyang, and said: "The Queen Mother, Luoyang has been too deserted recently, and the Xiliang people have occupied the market and are not allowed pedestrians to enter and exit, and even the subordinates surnamed Liu who want to enter the palace to pay homage to your old man must go through the permission of his Ma Yue, and are not allowed to bring a guard, what kind of reason is this?" You old man needs to be fair. ”

Chen Wang Liu Pet vomited bitterness this time, but he made the Empress Dowager Dong feel related. But then again, Liu Pet was aggrieved enough to go out this way, and he wanted to enter the palace to pay homage to the Queen Mother and the emperor a few days earlier, but the streets were controlled by the armored army, and at first Liu Pet didn't care about Ma Yue's orders, and even didn't care about the issued orders, and directly sent people into the palace to hand over the famous assassins.

The famous assassin did not go to the palace, but was intercepted by Ma Yue halfway, and the entourage was directly locked up in Luoyang Prison to be tortured.

It depends on the owner to beat the dog! Liu Pet has a strong temper and a superhuman bloodline, where can he stand this kind of insult? Immediately took the entourage of soldiers out of the mansion to go to the Auxiliary General's Mansion to reason with Ma Yue, who knew that he had just walked out of two streets and was surrounded by armored troops from all directions.

Want to see Ma Yue? Simple, the soldiers buckled their swords and sent them all back to the house, and the armored army escorted Liu Pet to the Auxiliary General's Mansion alone, and then he saw Ma Yue.

Ma Yue was kind and pleasant, and he served tea and poured water and apologized, but there was one meaning over and over again, "The law cannot be changed, the law cannot be abolished, if King Chen wants to travel, it is simple, there is an escort of the armored army throughout the process, and he can go wherever he wants." But the entourage, not a single one can be brought! ’

Although Liu Chong was angry in his heart, Ma Yue and Yan Yue had a rejecting indifference, that is, he was angry in the Auxiliary General's Mansion and couldn't eat oil, what could he do?

So today, Liu Chong entered the palace to pay homage to the Empress Dowager Dong.

Could it be that you, Ma Junhao, can be above the whole world with strong soldiers and strong horses? He really didn't believe that no one in Luoyang could cure Ma Yue!

"King Chen's words are also in the old body and mind." When it came to Ma Yue, Empress Dowager Dong also looked sad, and said sadly: "The old man thought that Yuan Benchu's vertical son could fight with Ma Junhao, the fourth and third princes of the Yuan family, Ma Jiazi has made outstanding achievements, if you can join hands not to say Kuang Zheng the world, you can always hold on to the emperor's personal government." But I don't want to...... Alas, the soldiers and horses of the Quartet fought endlessly when they first arrived in Beijing, and Ma Yue died his nephew and pursued the evil leader, wanting to cause a big disaster. ”

Who doesn't know that this is the way to get rid of evil? But now, what can Empress Dowager Dong do as a woman?

Even if the first emperor had an edict to ask her to be the country, could it be that he could really be the country? Whether it's Ma Yue or Yuan, who can listen to her?

Not to mention that now the Yuan clan is going to die.

"The auxiliary general is becoming more and more domineering, dare to ask the empress dowager, if you don't get rid of him at this time, who else can control him in the future?" Liu Chong frowned, not to mention anything else, just the 'feat' of blocking the imperial city for a few days is already something that no one in the world has ever heard of, if he succeeds, except for the Yuan family, what kind of things will he do in the future? "Let him operate for a few years, and wait until His Majesty grows up, can he really return power to His Majesty? This matter, the Queen Mother, you have to think twice! ”

"Not to mention the future, who can control the DPRK now?" Empress Dowager Dong felt palpitations every time she thought of looking down on the palace wall a few days ago, and the Liangzhou warriors wearing Xuan armor were rampant in the streets and alleys, "Even the general has been detained, who else dares to go against him?" ”

"Minister!" Liu Zhong is waiting for the words of the Empress Dowager Dong, now it is the emptiness of the court, and Ma Yue is not the only one who wants to enter Luoyang in this world. Liu Chongyi said with a horizontal face: "If the Empress Dowager makes a will, the minister will start to prepare, and he will kill Ma Yue to correct the law of the country!" ”

"This ......" Empress Dowager Dong didn't really want to kill Ma Yue, at most she asked Ma Yue to leave Luoyang, or did she once tell Dong Chong that the emperor always has to grow up, and the person who killed Ma Yue at this time, how long can he live in the future? Empress Dowager Dong then said: "King Chen's heart is old, but Ma Yue and the emperor have a teacher-student friendship, and the emperor is not easy to explain, not to mention that there are tens of thousands of Liangzhou troops...... Did King Chen kill cleanly? ”

In a word, the more horses are killed, but the more Ma Yue dies, the aftermath is not easy to deal with.

The Liangzhou soldiers and generals categorically have no possibility of defection, and it is Ma Yue's brother Ma Shoucheng who is in charge of the power of the Liangzhou soldiers and horses, and the tragedy of fratricide is not so easy. And none of the partial generals in the Liangzhou army who have the ability to replace Ma Yue in charge of the whole army...... What happened after Ma Yue's death was almost predictable, Luoyang City fell into the great turmoil of the Liangzhou military rebellion, and the most likely thing was that Liu Chong, the prince's head, would not stop until it was put on a spear and hung on the palace gate.

Empress Dowager Dong waved her hand, although Ma Yue was a little domineering, but now he couldn't die, and suddenly she was a little disgusted with Liu Chong.

This man has a power-hungry tiger imprisoned in his heart, but he doesn't understand that if the struggle fails, it will not be his dog's life, but the four hundred years of the Han Dynasty may be lost!

Facing the speechless Liu Chong, the Empress Dowager Dong smiled lightly, waved her hand and said: "If King Chen has nothing to do, please go back, but this kind of thing doesn't need to be said in the future." The country of the Han Dynasty still depends on the auxiliary generals to defend it. ”

In the final analysis, the Empress Dowager Dong still believes in Ma Yue's loyalty to the imperial court, as long as the loyalty is still there, then what Liu Chong said will not return power to the emperor will not appear. As for the Yuan family, if this imperial city chaos was really done by Yuan Benchu, then it should be given them some punishment, the courage is too great!

"But the Empress Dowager!" As soon as Liu Chong saw the opportunity to fly, he was immediately anxious, kowtowed and said: "If you use the power of your subordinates, Uncle Wang Bin and Dong Chong, you can't fight with Ma Yue once!" ”

Liu Pet said well, his uncle Wang Bin controls the Luoyang Forbidden Army, and in recent years, he has also had a reputation in the North and South Second Army; Although Dong Chong has been in vain for a long time, he is also a relative in the end, if the three families join forces at this time to use some means, they may not be able to control the heroic and warlike Liangzhou army.

But Empress Dowager Dong smiled, Liu Chong didn't understand at all, the current court didn't want to be as bad as he imagined, and it could even be said that as long as Ma Yue was in the court, he would not develop to the role of others. The smile on Empress Dowager Dong's face disappeared, and she took advantage of her old face to say to Liu Chong: "It is true that there is a fight, but why fight?" Even if you want to fight, do you have to take the lives of the Han family and thousands of sons to fight for His Royal Highness King Chen to take charge of Luoyang? ”

Great Han rivers and thousands of lives, these two words were uttered by the Empress Dowager Dong at this moment, which was simply heart-wrenching, and the face of King Chen and Liu Chong changed dramatically in an instant!

Although he had some ideas of replacing him, these thoughts were absolutely unspeakable. Otherwise, what is the use of morality and etiquette in the world?

But what the Empress Dowager Taidong said was a little too rebellious, making his face gloomy.

"This ...... The Empress Dowager was angry, and her subordinates had no such thoughts, but they just watched Ma Yue arrogantly and said this! Liu Pet hurriedly kowtowed and apologized, and then cautiously raised his head and hurriedly lowered his head, and said intermittently: "Even the Bahu general Liang Ji has never done such a thing, how can he be asked to steal the court, his subordinates are just unhappy, and they have no idea of ruining the country." ”

"Alright, get up." Ma Yue is in the court, and it is in this Yongle Palace that the Empress Dowager Dong can shake the majesty of the royal family, just shaking this time also made the Empress Dowager Dong bored, and said: "King Chen, you have to remember your name, nothing is important except for the Han family, the Liu clan protects the Han family, except for the country...... Nothing matters! ”

The ambition in the heart is not important.

The love on the face is not important.

The reputation before and after death, the wealth of the family, and the soldiers and horses entrenched in the county, these are not important.

For the Liu clan, the only thing that really matters is the Han family's country, and if the Han family does not fall, everything is not important...... And now, in the eyes of Empress Dowager Dong, the only person who can maintain the Han family is Ma Yue.

Other people don't have this qualification, and under this premise, even if Ma Yue is unruly, even if he can't see it, it becomes unimportant.

"Your Majesty understands, the Empress Dowager asks Her Majesty to retire."

Liu Pet got up and slowly retreated, it was Liu Pet's eight-foot majestic figure and the strength to shoot through the world with a strong bow.
