Inside Dong Yuan's mansion.

In the study, Dong Yuan was having a secret conversation with a middle-aged man dressed as a swordsman.

Dong Yuan was dressed in a Confucian robe, his skin was dark, his eyes exuded a cold light, his nose was flat, his mouth was wide and his cheeks were wide, and a lock of goat's whiskers swayed when he spoke, which was very funny.

The middle-aged man has thin eyes and broad cheeks, a hooked nose, high cheekbones, and a bearded face. He is murderous and restrained, if it weren't for the swordsman outfit, others would never think that he was a swordsman, and he was also a top swordsman.

Dong Yuan looked at the swordsman with a serious expression: "General, I have sent someone to find out, and that Liu Zhan in Lu Zhi's Mansion is the person I am looking for." ”

The swordsman on the opposite side looked grim, did not say a word, and continued to listen.

The person dressed as this swordsman is none other than Wang Yue, who is known as the first sword in the world, and is currently the general of Huben, mainly responsible for guarding the periphery of the palace. Wang Yue is a very utilitarian person, he wants to be a big official, he is extremely greedy for money, as long as you can afford to pay, he can kill anyone for you, of course, not including himself.

Although Wang Yue served in the army, he was still dressed as a swordsman on weekdays, and the long sword never left his hand, even when he slept, he held the worn-out long sword.

Dong Yuan saw that Wang Yue was speechless, and continued: "I asked the general to come forward this time, in fact, because I got the news that Liu Zhan has a unique skill, which is not something that ordinary people can kill, so I bother the general to make a hard trip, and ...... that kid" said and made a gesture on his neck to wipe his neck, and then took out a box of gold prepared in advance and put it on the desk to open it.

For a moment, a dazzling golden light erupted and instantly covered the entire study.

Wang Yue's eyes lit up, he looked greedily at a box full of gold, and said with some excitement: "Your Excellency, just rest assured, Yue will definitely hand over Liu Zhan's head to your adult." ”

"Well, that's great! This is a little bit of caution on the part of Yuan, please accept it from the general. Dong Yuan said and covered the box full of gold, and gently pushed it forward, faintly with the intention of sending off guests.

Wang Yue understood, slowly stood up, and left with a box of gold......

……

Inside the palace, Qian Shuo's bedroom.

There was a sound of smashing cups and smashing utensils, and Qian Shuo was furious at a woman in a black dress with a thin male duck cavity in the room: "A group of rice buckets, such a trivial thing can't be done, what's the use of you!" ”

The woman stood there like a statue, motionless, silently accepting the wrath of her superior.

"Check! Give me a thorough investigation, I must find out what the hell is going on, none of the thirty wooden Moonshadow Guards have come back, are they all eating dry food? Not even a powerless shadow dancer can kill him! ”

"Yes, Your Holiness." The woman answered mechanically.

Qian Shuo, this eunuch, is still a bullshit venerable, it's really surprising!

It seems that Qian Shuo's establishment of the Moon Shadow Guard was acquiesced in by Liu Hong, otherwise this eunuch would not have made such a big battle.

Qian Shuo turned his back to the woman in Xuanyi, and then asked, "What is the origin of that young man?" ”

"The young man's surname is Liu Mingzhan, and he is said to be a disciple of a hidden master. This time, the entire army of the Moon Shadow Guard was wiped out, probably thanks to him. The woman in Xuanyi arched her hand and answered Qian Shuo's question mechanically, but there was a slight fluctuation on her paralyzed face when she heard Liu Zhan's name.

"It's him! I didn't expect this kid to hide deeply, and he could shake the Thirty Moon Shadow Guards with his own strength, which is really surprising, it seems that our family has taken a look away...... Qian Shuo's eyes narrowed slightly, gritted his teeth and said, after speaking, he turned to look at the woman in Xuanyi and said, "Lian'er, in the face of the attack of thirty wooden Moon Shadow Guards, can you survive?" ”

"My subordinates don't know."

"This Liu Zhan is actually a hard stubble, this is enough for their gang." Qian Shuo smiled noncommittally, "That's it, don't worry about the young man named Liu Zhan for now, naturally someone will want his life, so we don't have to intervene sideways, so as not to provoke right and wrong." ”

"Subordinates obey."

"Also, has the shadow dancer returned to Lu Mansion?"

"I went back yesterday."

"Then don't touch her yet, let's see if she will pass on the news to us, if she doesn't report the recent situation in Lu Zhifu after two months, she will be killed!"

"Yes, Your Holiness."

"Alright, you go down first."

As soon as Qian Shuo's voice fell, the woman in Xuanyi bowed down and turned to leave, her movements were clean and neat, not dragging at all, as if all things could not cause her emotional fluctuations, she just acted according to instructions like a robot.

……

In the palace, in the side hall of Deyang Palace, Liu Hong, Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty, was holding a beautiful and moving palace maid, drinking wine slowly, with a face of enjoyment and depravity, he rubbed a certain place on the body of the palace maid in his arms, while squinting at the sultry dance posture of a group of dancers in light gauze below.

Liu Hong, who was scarlet and leaning on the emerald, didn't notice that in a corner outside the hall, a man in black was bent down and stared at the hall tightly......

After the dance, Liu Hong smiled and waved at the dancers below: "Dance again-" After speaking, he pushed away the palace maid in his arms, and came to the dance floor leisurely......

The melodious music lingered in the hall, but the moving dance was stirred up by Liu Hong into a frolicking of men and women. The dancing girls seem to be playing with Liu Hong a lot, and they have a more accurate grasp of Liu Hong's preferences, they are like elves in the flowers, dancing and skillfully avoiding Liu Hong's salty pig hands, but they don't hide thoroughly enough, laughing so that Liu Hong can gently touch their skin, but the touch is fleeting, not giving Liu Hong any extra chance at all, and coaxing Liu Hong to turn around.

Liu Hong eats the dancers' set very much, and "wrestles" with the dancers in a cheap way. The palace maid who was lying in Liu Hong's arms just now looked disappointed, as if she was disappointed that she couldn't keep Liu Hong, and was looking at the dancing girl below with envy, jealousy and hatred, standing there motionless.

Suddenly, a numbing and crispy voice sounded, and I saw Liu Hong running towards the bedroom of the side hall with a dancing girl in his arms......

About half a burnt incense union, Liu Hong came out of the bedroom, rushed into the dancers, dragged out a dancer, turned around and walked towards the bedroom.

At this moment, a small yellow door ran over quickly, knelt outside the temple gate, and shouted loudly: "Your Majesty, Lu Zhi in the service asks to see, and there is important information playing." ”

Liu Hong continued to walk to the bedroom with the coquettish dancing girl in his arms, without looking back, and he was reluctant to lift his hand on the mountain peak, and said lazily: "Let him wait, I still have important things to do." ”

"Yes!" Xiao Huangmen answered, got up and left.

……

In the side hall of Deyang Palace, Liu Hong sat on the dragon chair in the hall solemnly, knelt down to Lu Zhi obliquely, and said lightly: "Lu Qing, what's the important thing to play?" Come on, I still have important things to do! ”

Lu Zhi knelt on the ground and said: "Your Majesty, the minister captured a Taiping sect member yesterday, according to this person's confession, Taiping Dao Zhang Jiao will start a rebellion in March next year!" "The place where Lu Zhi knelt was the same place where Liu Hong picked flowers and sucked honey just now......

"What?!" Liu Hong was so frightened that he fell off the dragon couch all of a sudden, and he couldn't care about the emperor's majesty, and said in a trembling voice: "Is what Lu Qing said credible?" ”

"Your Majesty, this matter is absolutely true, and you should take precautions as soon as possible. According to this Tang Zhou confession, the DPRK and China also had their internal responses, and the thief leader Ma Yuanyi appeared in Luoyang to make final preparations for the rebellion. ”

Liu Hong climbed onto the dragon couch, sat down again, regained a little calm, and said, "It's really unreasonable! Who is the inner response of the court? ”

"Feng Zhen, Xu Feng"

"What? That's impossible! How could these of my officials betray me? I have been a favor to them. ”

"Your Majesty, this matter is absolutely true, the minister will never dare to say half a sentence, this is a confession signed by Tang Zhou, please read it Your Majesty."

After speaking, he raised the confession above his head. A little yellow door came over with an unkind face to take away the confession and handed it to Liu Hong. Liu Hong took a general look, frowned, and said, "Does Lu Qing have a good plan?" ”

"Your Majesty, the minister thinks that we should use lightning speed to fully arrest the leaders of all parties in Taiping Dao and the internal affairs of the DPRK and China; then raid the interrogation, and then arrest all the people involved and put them in prison; In the end, the Taiping sect was appeased and let them continue to go back to farming, they were originally farmers, but they were just confused by Zhang Jiao for a while. ”

Liu Hong pondered for a moment, then asked the little yellow door to go to Xuanhe to enter the palace to listen to the saint, and then said to Lu Zhi: "Lu Qing, I will order you to be responsible for arresting Ma Yuanyi and others. ”

"Your Majesty, my Emperor Shengming! The minister retired. ”

Liu Hong nodded slightly and motioned for Lu Zhi to retreat.

Lu Zhi bowed and retired.

After Lu Zhi left, Liu Hong planned to think hard about drafting an edict:

In October of the sixth year of Guanghe, Emperor Ling said

Taiping Dao gathered people to plot a rebellion

The states and counties are arresting the heads of the thieves

All of them will be charged to Beijing and punished

Eliminate the slack and the non-executor

After drafting the edict and stamping the jade seal, Liu Hong ordered Xiaohuangmen to send the edict to the states as soon as possible.

Seeing that He Jin had not yet arrived, Liu Hong wanted to get up and go to the bedroom, but at this moment, the small yellow door outside the hall knelt outside the hall and shouted: "Shizhong, will be a master craftsman, Henan Yin He Jin asks to see." ”

"Let him in." Liu Hong had no choice but to sit back on the dragon couch and temporarily suppressed the almost uncontrollable desire in his heart.

He came into the hall and said, "My emperor is ten thousand years!" ”

"No courtesy." Liu Hong glanced at his brother-in-law lightly, and said with a solemn face: "He Qing, I ordered you to lead the two battalions of the Yulin Army to arrest Feng Yu and Xu Feng." After speaking, he threw a waist card to He Jin.

He Jin was stunned for a moment, and responded: "The minister's order." At the same time, he wondered in his heart what the two men had committed.

Liu Hong continued: "These two colluded with Taiping Dao to plot a rebellion, and once they were caught, they were directly beheaded for public display, without delay!" ”

"Obey the order!" He Jin's heart sank, Liu Hong's simple sentence was a bit informative to him, and he was about to ask, but he saw Liu Hong wave his hand: "Okay, go down, I still have important things to do!" After Liu Hong finished speaking, he got up and ran towards the bedroom. What Liu Hong didn't know was that the little yellow door who went to Xuan He Jin had quietly sent a letter to Feng Yu and Xu Feng. At this time, Feng Zhen and Xu Feng were crying to the Empress Dowager Dong in Yongle Palace.

Seeing that Liu Hong was a little impatient, he bowed and retired.
