The first half of the night had passed, and the second half had just begun.

Cai Fu.

Cai Yong was congratulated by his colleagues and Shilin friends at the banquet, and drank a lot of wine, although in this era, because of the importance of food, most of the drinks are fruit wine, and the degree is not high, but drinking too much will still be a little drunk.

By the time he sent the guests away, he was already a little dazed.

At this time, the housekeeper came to report: "Master, Wang Situ is here, he must ask to see him!" ”

"At this time?"

When Cai Yong heard this, he shook his head and made himself sober: "Didn't the prince go to the pastoral mansion, it seems that he still hasn't let go of the old man's glass of wine!" ”

At this time, he didn't think about it so much, for him, Wang Yun was his old friend for many years.

Cai Yong met with Wang Yun in the side hall.

Wang Yun's expression didn't look very good, a little impatient and gloomy, as soon as he saw Cai Yong, he immediately stood up and said loudly: "Brother Bo, I need you to come forward to save my life this time!" ”

"Senior Brother Zi, what are you talking about?"

Cai Yong frowned, confused.

"Mushan is going to wave troops to the North Palace and persecute the Son of Heaven!" Wang Yun said that he was in a hurry, when he left the pastoral mansion, he already felt that something was wrong, and soon he heard the news that the Violent Bear Army and the Southern Army had been mobilized, and after thinking about it, he felt that only one person could come forward to stop Cai Yong.

"What?"

Cai Yong's wine strength was squandered all of a sudden, his pupils widened, his eyes flashed with lightning-like light, staring at Wang Yun deadly, and he shouted: "Senior Brother Zi, today is the wedding banquet between the little girl and his son of Mushan, a happy day, what do you mean by this?" ”

"Senior Brother Zi, I didn't joke with you!"

Wang Yun said bitterly: "Your Majesty issued a holy decree to punish the nine clans of the Mu family, Yuan Sikong took advantage of the happy day of the Mu Mansion to personally wave troops to surround and kill the Mu Mansion, but he didn't expect that the Mu Mansion had already prepared, and the troops were in the mansion, and now the Yuan family and the dozens of families in Ruoyang have been taken down, Mu Shan took the opportunity to wave the North Palace, and now it is estimated that the North Palace has been surrounded!" “

"Damn it!"

Cai Yong stood up suddenly, clenched his fists, and shouted: "Confused, the Son of Heaven is confused, Yuan Zhouyang is confused, I have a great deal of peace that has only been stabilized with great difficulty, are they so inappropriate?" ”

If it weren't for the prestige of the Son of Heaven and the stability of the court, why would he marry his daughter to the Mu family.

But his painstaking efforts were not understood.

He paced back and forth, and his steps became more and more anxious: "It's okay now, wake up the sleeping violent bear, and now people's open mouths of blood are going to eat people, who can stop them!" ”

"Brother Bo, something has happened, let's figure out how to keep Your Majesty!" Wang Yun said in a deep voice.

"Wang Zishi, tell me, can you get involved in this matter?"

Cai Yong is not so easy to fool, to this point, he can sort things out even with his ass.

"Nope!" Wang Yun's eyes flickered slightly.

"Really?" Cai Yong's eyes were as bright as blades, and he looked at Wang Yun coldly.

"I got a seven-star dragon yuan in the past, this is an ancient sword in the world, comparable to the Chixiao sword treasured by the royal family today, I gave it to Cao Mengde, Cao Mengde dedicated it to the Mu family, when the sword was offered, he stabbed Mu Yuanzhong and stabbed Mu Yuanzhong!"

Wang Yun was silent for a moment before he said slowly.

"It turns out that only the old man is a fool!" Cai Yong said gloomily: "You guys are really a good plan!" ”

"Bo Jiao, Mu Yuanzhong is as strong as Si, the power is inclined to the government and the opposition, he has long stopped His Majesty and the Han family in his eyes, he has become more and more arrogant, not only in charge of the military power, but also more and more ambitious, a paper to seek meritocracy in the world, enter the center of the court, if he is given three or five years, above the court, who can still suppress him, if he changes the dynasty and usurps the throne, who can stop him!"

Wang Yun asked awe-inspiringly.

"Huh!"

Cai Yong sneered: "Zishi, the old man asks you, if Mu Yuanzhong dies now, who will be able to suppress the world, who can suppress the princes who have gradually accumulated strength in various places, and who can stabilize the country of this great man!" ”

He actually understands some things better than Wang Yun.

Since the Yellow Turban Rebellion, the people in the world have long been scattered, and they are not powerful ministers, holding military power, and they can't control the world at all.

When the Mu clan waved his troops in the capital strongly, he was willing to serve the Mu clan.

"One by one, you just think that Mu Yuanzhong was born in mud legs, the remnants of the yellow scarf, and he should not be a powerful minister, but Mu Yuanzhong has come to the capital, he can be brutal and murderous, although he is arrogant, but he acts according to the law, even if he kills people, there will be real evidence, and at least he will respect His Majesty above the court, and he will be willing to be a courtier!"

The more Cai Yong spoke, the more angry he became, and he almost pointed at Wang Yun's head and scolded: "He Mu Yuanzhong is willing to follow the rules of the court, obey the laws of the Han Dynasty, and govern in his own way, just because he is afraid that the rules will be broken and he will fall into the handle, you are good, you have destroyed this bottom line for him, and now who can suppress his 100,000 bear soldiers!" ”

Wang Yun listened to Cai Yong's scolding, his face became more and more ugly, and he even felt a little frightened.

Cai Yong is right, the rules are not broken, and there can still be peace in Luoyang.

But if this rule is broken, it is equivalent to releasing a wild beast from the cage, and he now has military power in his hands and is in charge of Kyoto, no matter what he does, it is reasonable.

"Brother Bo, it's too late to say anything now, I do have the heart to fulfill this matter, if he is angry and wants my life, I can give it to him, but I will never allow him to move Your Majesty!"

Wang Yun said in a low voice: "Your Majesty is a king, he is a minister, no matter what Your Majesty does wrong, it is not something he can blame, he used troops to surround the North Palace, it is a capital crime, if he dares to kill the king, then the world will not tolerate him!" ”

Confucianism is righteous, and the road of monarchs and ministers.

This is the lifelong belief of their Confucian scholars.

"So far, only the old man has gone in person, do his best, and listen to the destiny of heaven!"

Cai Yong sighed, he couldn't ignore this matter, if Mushan hit the North Palace, everything would be irreparable, and the court of the Han Dynasty could not collapse because of this.

"Someone!"

"In!"

"Prepare the carriage, then take my official robes and change my clothes!"

Cai Yong strode out, and as he walked, he quickened his pace: "I want to go out!" ”

"No!"

The housekeeper quickly went to prepare.

***********************************

Beigong.

"He Yu, Li Ran, what are you doing?"

In the barracks of the Royal Forest Army, the main general Liu Fan looked at the two lieutenants under him with an angry face.

"I'm sorry, Archon, but please be here for a while!" The two lieutenants arched their hands and said.

They have surrounded the place.

"It turns out that you are the lackeys of the Shepherd Clan!"

Liu Fan gritted his teeth and said.

"Perhaps!"

Li Ran said indifferently: "If it weren't for the lord's order to seek merit, I would be just an ordinary ranger now, the lord gave me a chance, and I would have died for the lord!" ”

He is a Ranger of Luoyang, but because of a merit-seeking order, he was arranged to enter the Imperial Forest Army not long after he was in the Seeking Talent Hall, and within a month, he soared to the position of captain, commanding more than 1,000 soldiers and horses, which was supported by the Mu family.

The rangers have a reckless spirit, and among the loyalty, they take righteousness more than loyalty, so they have more feelings for the Mu family.

Liu Fan, the lord of the imperial forest, was imprisoned, several gates of the palace were opened, and the northern palace where the southern army led by Huang Shao had just arrived, and had already taken the entire north palace without much effort, and surrounded the palace of the north palace tightly.

In one of the palaces of Miyagi.

The young man wearing the brocade dragon robe stood on top of the stone pavilion a little dazedly, with a sad expression, and after half a sound, he said faintly: "Defeated? ”

"Your Majesty, the Mu clan has already prepared, hiding soldiers in the tunnels under the mansion, the Yuan clan has reported that thousands of dead soldiers have all died, not only Yuan Feng has been shackled, even the entire Yuan clan has been taken down, and dozens of Shi clans behind the Yuan clan have also been taken down, and the soldiers of the Mu Mansion are raiding the house!"

The old eunuch said quietly.

"Hidden soldiers?" The young Tianzi smiled, his smile was a little sarcastic: "I should have thought of it a long time ago, the father and son of the Mufu are so cunning, how can they be so easy to deal with, they shouldn't have mistrusted the strength of the Yuan family, or the father and emperor can see it clearly, these family lords, the court is capable, but it is useless to do things!" ”

"Your Majesty, Miyagi has been taken by the Southern Army?"

A palace guard hurried to report.

"So fast?"

The old eunuch glared at the guard: "What about the Imperial Forest Army, what about Liu Fan?" ”

"Most of the Imperial Forest Army is next to the city, and the main force of the Royal Forest has been in the barracks, standing still, and there is no trace of Liu Fan's command!"

"Go down!"

The young Son of Heaven shook his hand and said, "Pass on my order, if the army is not blocked, put down resistance on the spot, there is no need to give your life in vain!" ”

"Your Majesty?" When the old eunuch heard this, his color changed slightly.

"The Imperial Forest Army is the hard work of the first emperor back then, the first emperor poured a lot of effort into it, and then he had combat effectiveness, but later after the battle with his uncle in the North Palace, the elite was lost, and under the repeated chaos in Luoyang, the strength was not one in ten, and the soldiers and horses that were added in later did not go through strict audits, and they did not get their background, let alone know their conduct, so naturally there were many ministers of the Mu family!"

The young emperor was very calm: "Since even the Imperial Forest Army is unreliable, then in this palace city, who can protect me, knowing that the fight will end up in vain, why let them die in vain!" ”

"The old slave still has the Imperial Tomb Army, you can escort Your Majesty to kill it!"

"No chance!"

The young son of heaven shook his head: "The three hundred troops of the Imperial Tomb, although they are brave, they can't kill Luoyang City, today's Luoyang, not the Luoyang of the past, the 100,000 army of the Mu clan has already surrounded Luoyang like an iron bucket!" ”

"Your Majesty......"

"Zhao Banban, do you remember what I asked you to do?"

"Remember!"

"Do it now, find him, and give him the stuff!"

"But Your Majesty ......"

"Even if I'm dead, don't I still have a second brother?" The young man said faintly: "As long as the Han is still there, then the world is still the Han Dynasty, and I bet that he will not dare to stand on his own!" ”
