Chapter 121: Into the Imperial City

Although Wu Fu is an upright person, he is the person He Jin picked up after all.

He Jin is still more obedient, and he doesn't think that the general He Jin will have any unfavorable thoughts about the emperor.

In this way, Liu Zheng and He Jin's men and horses were allowed to enter the palace.

The imperial palace of the Eastern Han Dynasty was built quite grandly and magnificently, with bluestone bricks paved with the ground and a meandering moat flowing through the front gate.

The palace is divided into two palaces, the south and the north. The two palaces are connected by a roofed compound road, which is seven miles long from north to south. The so-called compound road is three roads side by side, the middle one is the emperor's exclusive royal road, and the two sides are the roads taken by ministers and attendants.

There is also a guard every ten steps, standing on the side of the two compartments, very mighty. However, Liu Zheng came at night at this time, and there were many fewer guards here.

Nangong existed before the Eastern Han Dynasty, at the beginning of the new Zhou City, after Qin Shi Huang destroyed the Zhou Dynasty to unify China, this city was given to Lü Buwei, Lü Buwei carefully managed, so that the scale of this city is majestic, magnificent and magnificent.

Luoyang, the capital of Liu Bang in the Western Han Dynasty, continued to use this city, and continued to repair it, so that it maintained a prosperous scene. In the Eastern Han Dynasty, it was completely renovated and officially used as an imperial palace.

There are four gates of the same name in the south and north of the palace city, and the two sides of the gate are expected to be the Suzaku Gate, the east is the Canglong Gate, the north is the Xuanwu Gate, and the west is the White Tiger Gate.

The Xuanwu Gate of the South Palace and the Suzaku Gate of the North Palace are connected by the double road, and the Suzaku Gate of the South Palace is connected to the Pingcheng Gate as the south main gate of the Imperial Palace and goes directly to the outside of the city. Because the emperor went out through the Vermilion Bird Gate a lot, so this gate is the most noble, the building is also extraordinarily majestic and magnificent, the Yanshi who is far away from the 45 miles away looks at the Vermilion Bird Gate, it is like connecting with the sky, it can be called the wonder of Luoyang in the Eastern Han Dynasty.

Nangong is the place where the emperor and his officials discuss politics. The layout of the buildings is neat and orderly, and the palace pavilions are lined up one after another. The main palace is located on the north-south axis.

The north palace is mainly the palace where the emperor and his concubines live, and its status is more important than that of the south palace, so the building is extremely luxurious.

However, Liu Zheng did not need to go to the North Palace at this time, the emperor summoned He Jin at night, and had already gone to the Deyang Hall in the South Palace, which He Jin told him, he only needed to go to the location of the Deyang Palace, and he would definitely be able to see the emperor.

The location of the Deyang Hall is directly in front of the South Palace, and a wide avenue can be seen not far from the palace gate, and there are two pools next to it.

Several rows of patrolmen occasionally patrolled here, and when they saw more than 2,000 people rushing in violently, these patrolmen immediately approached Liu Zheng and asked Liu Zheng who they were and why they came to Deyang Hall at this time.

Liu Zheng didn't have time to explain to these patrolmen at all, and directly ordered his men and horses to be killed in the Deyang Hall of the palace.

Although there were dozens of people in a team of patrols, they were killed by Liu Zheng's 2,000 men and horses, and they had no power to parry at all, and they were scattered by Liu Zheng's men and horses in an instant, and the shouts of killing broke out in the square outside the Deyang Palace, which immediately alarmed the entire palace.

The noisy shouting of killing, coupled with the sound of the handover of weapons, caused a burst of alarm in the square of Nangong.

At this time, Emperor Han Ling, who was resting in the Deyang Palace, heard this sound, and immediately frowned, turned around and asked Zhang Rang, the eunuch beside him.

"Zhang Aiqing, what's going on outside? Why is it so noisy? ”

In fact, Emperor Han Ling should have slept and rested at this point, but because the Yellow Turban Army outside the city attacked the city, the momentum caused by the attack on Luoyang was too huge, even if the palace was very far away from the city gate, but the shouting of killing and the light of the fire still attracted the attention of Emperor Han Ling in the palace.

That's why Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty summoned the general He Jin at this time to ask what was happening outside the city, but the general He Jin didn't wait, but what was waiting for Liu Zheng's 2,000 soldiers and horses.

The Yellow Turban Army rushed over, unhindered all the way, and directly killed outside the Deyang Palace.

Zhang Rang accompanied Emperor Han Ling, waiting in this Deyang Palace, and also heard the sound from outside the main hall, and was also very curious, but Emperor Han Ling did not let him go out to observe, and he did not take the initiative to go over.

But when Zhang Rang walked out of the Deyang Palace, he had already seen a large number of people and horses rushing from outside the square with steel knives and spears, and they were already approaching the outside of the Deyang Palace.

"Your Majesty is not good, something big has happened!"

Zhang Rang hurriedly ran back to the Deyang Palace, and was about to tell Emperor Han Ling about what happened outside the main hall.

I saw that Emperor Han Ling had already walked out of the main hall by himself.

Emperor Han Ling's bloated body walked very slowly, but his pace was very steady, and the shouting and killing outside the main hall had already made Emperor Han Ling unable to sit still at this time.

"What's wrong? What's going on? Why are there so many soldiers and horses all of a sudden? What about my palace guards, where are all the Imperial Guards dead? ”

When Emperor Han Ling was still confused and panicked, Liu Zheng, who had already come to the square outside the Deyang Palace, had already seen Emperor Han Ling coming out of the Deyang Hall at a glance.

At that time, the Yellow Turban Army immediately shouted at the left and right.

"The Dog Emperor is there, everyone catch him, don't let him run away!"

Liu Zheng's words immediately made the Yellow Turban Army on the left and right excited.

The two thousand Yellow Turban troops here immediately rushed towards the Deyang Hall at this time, staring at Emperor Han Ling, and quickly rushed over, wanting to capture Emperor Han Ling alive.

Liu Zheng did not take the initiative to run over, and did not directly ask Zhou Cang to bring people over at this time, but turned to Zhou Cang and gave another order.

"Zhou Cang, come here, I have something important to tell you!"

Zhou Cang was about to rush out and follow the soldiers and horses on the left and right to capture Emperor Han Ling alive, but after suddenly hearing Liu Zheng's order, he immediately turned around and approached Liu Zheng.

"Qu Shuai, what do you have to order!"

At this time, Zhou Cang can be said to worship Liu Zheng, and he no longer has any objections to Liu Zheng, Liu Zheng asked him to go south, he will definitely not go north, after all, he can kill all the way from the Tiger Prison Pass to the imperial city, and only rely on two thousand people to deceive He Jin, kill to the palace, and see that he is about to catch the emperor.

He Zhou Cang's name has been immortalized, oh no, the great cause of 10,000 years of stench is about to succeed, Zhou Cang is naturally right, Liu Zheng will not have any objections.

"You immediately take some people to the North Palace, remember to catch a prince named Liu Wei, who is about seven or eight years old, should live with Queen He, where is the specific position, you can grab one or two eunuchs and ask, you should be able to ask about the whereabouts, and after catching that person, come here immediately and meet with me!"
