Chapter Eighty-Three: Unforgettable
Be generous and unforgettable. --------- Three Kingdoms. Cao Cao "Tanka Xing"
It is said that Chen Long is in danger alone, for the life of Queen He, he wants to see her in life and her corpse in death. In order to hate Emperor Han Ling, the faint monarch, from the beginning of learning of Chun Yuqiong's assassination, Long Chen came up with a plan to sneak into the North Palace from the tunnel and eliminate Emperor Han Ling from his soul, but he didn't know it.
Chen Long didn't want to think about the consequences anymore, no matter how big a storm this matter would set off. He is from another world, and Emperor Han Ling is the best among the faint monarchs, and he has no demons at all when he kills a Han Ling Emperor. It was just that he thought that he had to have enough time to clean up He Jin and Dong Zhuo, so he spared the life of Emperor Han Ling.
After Long Chen left, Empress He sat beside the unconscious Emperor Ling of Han, and finally clearly recognized Long Chen's reverse scales. His thoughts went round and round, his personal feelings and thoughts about Chen Long gradually overwhelmed his body and mind, and his ambition to compete for power and profit with Empress Dowager Dong gradually extinguished. How could his brothers He Jin and He Miao be Chen Long's opponents? In the end, this world will inevitably realize Long Chen's ideals, and at the same time, there will be no soil for careerists to survive. Being able to leave Liu Wei a symbol of imperial power is already a gift from Chen Long to himself.
There are also those eunuchs who are respectful and respectful on the surface, fighting openly and secretly, fighting for the control of the emperor, all of them are consumed by profit. Emperor Ling of Han became a faint monarch, and he was also bewitched by them with money, and these eunuchs who were angry with gods and men would inevitably be destroyed by Long Chen.
Empress He sighed and got up, looking at the boundless darkness outside the main hall. Without the tilting of imperial power, without the struggle for power and profit, will I be a good wife? What will the world look like?
Lu Chang was lurking in the darkness outside the tunnel door, and when he saw Chen Long walking out of the crack in the door, he said in surprise: "Lord! Are you okay? ”
Chen Long said: "It's okay. The housewife, they also arrived safely in Xiaopingjin, right? ”
Lu Chang made a safe gesture and said: "There is no special guard at the Luoyang City Gate, I think Chun Yuqiong has no time to arrange it in broad daylight." ”
Seeing that what was expected, Chen Long felt at ease, and said no more, the two of them unfolded their bodies and boarded the dinghy in Xiaopingjin, and Zhang Ning, who was dressed in civilian clothes, fell into Chen Long's arms.
When the two separated, Guo Jia and Zhou Budo, who were waiting next to them, were anxious and asked, "Lord, how is the situation in Luoyang City?" ”
Chen Long said with a solemn expression: "My master mother and I caught the secret agent sent by Chun Yuqiong, and guessed that the real mastermind behind the scenes was Emperor Han Ling. I asked the mistress to take you away quickly. ”
Guo Jiaxiu's eyebrows furrowed slightly, and with his cleverness, he seemed to have vaguely guessed something, and asked: "Why is the emperor's heart to kill the lord so urgent?" ”
Chen Long said unfazedly on the surface: "Maybe I defected to Queen He, but I touched the emperor's scales." The emperor was about to abolish the queen and set up Liu Xie as the crown prince, and I happened to hit the muzzle of the gun. After hesitating again and again, he still didn't tell Zhang Ning next to him about his overnight relationship with Queen He.
Guo Jia suddenly realized: "I see, although Queen He is quite influential among eunuchs and relatives, she has become a thorn in the emperor's side, and the situation is really complicated. ”
Zhou Bu next to him asked: "Then Chun Yuqiong can take the next step?" ”
Chen Long smiled and shook his head, "I don't think there will be." ”
The three people next to him were all surprised: "Why does the lord think they will be anticlimactic?" ”
"Because I have only arrived now, it is precisely to infiltrate the North Palace, eliminate Emperor Han Ling, and relieve the troubles of Lingling."
When Zhang Ning heard Long Chen's words, he was so frightened that he hurriedly pulled Long Chen Long to take a closer look under the cabin lamp, and when he saw that he was safe and sound, he said angrily: "Husband, if you are alone in danger in the future, I will not follow it." You killed the faint king? ”
Chen Long said lightly: "It's nothing to kill him, it's just that my Lingling is not ready to deal with the chaos in the world, so I temporarily spared the life of the faint monarch." ”
Several people were puzzled, and Zhang Ning asked, "Kefujun just said that he had eliminated Emperor Han Ling?" ”
"There are many ways to eliminate, erasing memories and turning people into idiots, which happens to be one of the methods of elimination that I have mastered." Chen Long showed off slightly proudly.
Zhang Ning listened with a look of disbelief: "Husband is saying that you turned Emperor Han Ling into an idiot?" Guo Jia shouted a few wonderful words loudly on the side.
Chen Long smiled and said: "When I entered the North Palace through the tunnel, I was extremely lucky, and it happened that the tunnel went straight to the Faint Monarch's bedroom, and I stuck the Faint Monarch's neck without making the slightest sound. I controlled the blood flowing to the head of the faint king, so that his cerebral cortex was necrotic, so that although he was still alive, he became an idiot. I am not only your lord, but also a master of assassination, and this little trick is just a small skill of carving insects. ”
Several people suddenly realized, and at the same time, they rejoiced in the complete elimination of hidden dangers. Only in Chen Long's heart, a touch of worry was connected, and Queen He's thoughtful demeanor when she said goodbye, and the lingering sorrow on her face, sighed, and only silently buried her worry in her heart.
The boat set sail in the darkness of the night, heading upriver to the west, at a very slow pace. To the west was Chen Long's order, and the target was Chang'an, the Xiongcheng city of the world. On the one hand, Chen Long did not want to take the Eastern Front, and was seen by some generals who were familiar with him; On the other hand, Chang'an faces the vast Yongliang two states, which is the only place for Xun Youyan to conquer Xiliang in the future. I, a pretending Chang'an person, just before returning to Lingling, inspected this great city, the hometown of obscenity.
Between Chang'an and Luoyang, there are two Xiongguan in the world. One is Hangu Pass on the Luoyang side, and the other is Tongguan on the Chang'an side. In the ancient Huayi dispute, I don't know how many singing and crying battles were left in these two Xiongguan, and I don't know how many bones of good men were left behind. At the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, Tongguan has not yet built a large number of civil works, only the Fengling Ferry is the northeast gateway of Chang'an, the west of Hangu Pass is based on the plateau, the east is bordered by the Absolute Stream, the south is connected to the Qinling Mountains, and the Yellow River is in the north. It is the thoroughfare of Chang'an in the west and Luoyang in the east, and the intersection of Henan culture and Qin and Jin cultures; It is a strategic fortress for thousands of years, a strategic fortress where soldiers must fight, and the origin of historical stories and legends such as purple gas coming from the east and rooster singing.
Chen Long looked at the Xiongguan Fortress in the distance in the small bow of the boat, and suddenly chanted with interest: "The Xiongguan Mandao is really like iron, and now we are stepping forward from the beginning." Zhang Ning, who was next to him, was already surprised by Chen Long's exit, and said with a smile: "Good poetry!"
Chen Longjun's face flushed, remembering that this was the heroic work of the leaders of later generations*, and it should not be pirated, so he quickly shut up. Then he thought of Chang'an, and asked Zhou Budo: "Who is the current Chang'an City Lord?" What is the distribution of troops? ”
Zhou Budo said: "Chang'an is the capital of Yongliang, the western gateway of the imperial capital Luoyang, and the square of Yongzhen Shuofang. The current Chang'an is too shou Shao, the word Shenfu, and there are 50,000 soldiers and horses guarding the city. ”
There was nothing to say all the way, and at noon on the third day, the boat arrived at Fenglingdu. Since then, the Yellow River has changed to flow in a north-south direction, and Fenglingdu is just at the corner of the Yellow River, with an excellent geographical location and a beautiful environment. It is a transportation fortress connecting Shanxi, Shaanxi and Henan, crossing the boundaries of North China, Northwest China and Central China, and the largest ferry port on the Yellow River. As the key point of the Yellow River, I don't know how many people passed through here and walked into the Qin and Jin Dynasties. There is a poem that praises: "A water in the north and south, the Central Plains is self-contained." The clouds and mountains are connected to the Jin soil, and the smoke trees enter the Qinchuan River. ”
After getting off the boat, several people hired a carriage, disguised themselves as people visiting relatives, and went straight to Chang'an City due west. Along the road to enjoy the scenery, see a big mountain blocking the road, the mountain peaks are naturally arranged like flowers, it is the world-famous Xiyue Huashan.
Chen Long suddenly became interested, and led a few people to climb the stairs and climb the steep and high eastern peak of Huashan. At the top of Mount Hua, look around, but see thousands of peaks, crawling at the feet; Heaven and earth are vast, and all directions are one color; Suddenly, a cloud of white clouds floated in, enveloping everyone, and there was a feeling of fluttering like a fairy spreading its wings and soaring in the clouds. Chen Long only felt a sense of pride from the soles of his feet to the top of his head, remembered Du Fu's poems, and chanted loudly: "It will be the top of the mountain, and you can see all the mountains at a glance!"
Zhang Ning also had a sense of pleasure in traveling, and said with a smile: "I want to compete with Tiangong~" Chen Long's jaw almost fell off, but he didn't expect that although Zhang Ning had not crossed, the poetry piracy technology was rapidly improving.
While cheering, Long Chen did not forget to use his light brain to record the geography along the road for future battles. In the future, the battle in Yongliang may only be cavalry against cavalry, otherwise even the Gobi Desert will not be able to cross, and the transportation of grain and grass is also a big problem. The Xiliang Iron Cavalry is famous all over the world, but it is not comparable to the weak infantry of the imperial court. Whoever has a fast horse and a sharp knife will be able to take the lead.
Thinking of this, Long Chen couldn't help asking: "Yuanzhi, this famous horse market in Chang'an City is not to be missed." ”
Zhou Budo nodded and said, "My subordinates understand." The horse market is on the edge of the pasture in the western suburbs of Chang'an, with Qiang horses and Mongolian horses in the majority. ”
Chen Long's heart moved, thinking of Lu Bu and Guan Yu's mount, the Red Rabbit Horse, and he couldn't help but yearn for it. Hurriedly said: "Go down the mountain!" ”
Several people hurried and hurried, and finally saw a corner of the Chang'an city wall that seemed to be inlaid with gold edges in the sunset. The majestic city of the world stands majestically on the banks of the Yu River and the Wei River, and the huge city gate is wide open, as if to welcome Chen Long, the future overlord of the world.
