Luoyang, see Luoyang again!

With the complete defeat of the besieging rebels, in just a few days, in addition to the fact that there is still a war on the city, the huge Luoyang City has completely restored its old prosperity, but just look inside and outside the city gate, there are pedestrians like carp, and it is very lively.

As soon as Nanying approached the city gate, he was immediately recognized by the sergeant guarding the gate, which immediately caused quite a stir. Not only did the soldiers sincerely pay him a solemn military salute, but even the people in the past also cheered, in order to pay tribute to the famous general who defended Luoyang. For a moment, the calmness of the southern eagle couldn't help but seem real and illusory, as if he was in the clouds.

Soon, however, his good mood was met with an inexplicable challenge.

"Alas, it turned out to be Brother Zhong Jian!" Nanying did not go straight back to Xu's Mansion, but came to Nangong by himself, and happened to meet Chun Yuqiong in front of the palace gate.

During the war, he left the command post for no reason, even if he won the battle, even if he was a celebrity in front of the Son of Heaven, he could not help but make an explanation as soon as possible.

Chun Yuqiong raised his head in amazement, his face was first filled with surprise, but it was immediately replaced by a hint of embarrassment, he disguised his salute and said, "Welcome General!" You haven't been seen for the past few days, and even though you know that you must be fine, it still makes people feel anxious! ”

He stepped forward and whispered, "The Son of Heaven is in a hurry!" ”

"Hey, hey! Capital crime, capital crime! Nan Ying said happily: "This general is greedy for merit, and only led a few soldiers and horses to quietly go out of the city to pursue the thief leader, but it was in vain!" Here, it is to ask the Son of Heaven for sin! ”

"The Son of Heaven has passed down the word before,......" Chun Yuqiong said with a complicated expression: "I haven't seen anyone in the past few days, the general should wait a few days and come back to see him!" ”

"What?" Nan Ying was surprised in his heart, could the Spirit Emperor be doing something big? Otherwise, with his temperament, how could he be indifferent in the face of such a great victory in defending the city? And judging from Chun Yuqiong's hiding appearance, Bacheng is hiding something from himself, there must be something strange in this!

Thinking about it, he couldn't help but sink his face: "Zhong Jian, you and I have always been like brothers, so it's not chilling to be covered by clouds and mountains and fog!" ”

"The lower officials don't dare!" Chun Yuqiong's expression was obviously a little struggling, he finally lowered his head and said softly: "The general should go back to the Xu Mansion to inquire, and he will understand the suffering of the lower officials!" ”

"Humph!" Nan Ying threw his hand and turned around, but there was a faint sense of foreboding in his heart.

"What do you say! Arrested? Nan Ying listened to Li Jin's anxious expression, and couldn't help but be shocked: "Isn't Liu Tao still serving as Jing Zhaoyin in Chang'an?" How could he be imprisoned in Luoyang! ”

"He's got a big hit!" Jia Xu walked into the hall with a gloomy expression: "Lord, you must have eaten a closed door when you entered the palace to face the saint, right?" ”

"What do you mean to eat too?" Nan Ying was surprised: "Have you already tried to ask the Son of Heaven?" ”

"I ...... Gao Shun and Ma Jun," Jia Xu sighed: "Anyone who consciously can speak a few words in front of the Son of Heaven has all gone!" But without exception, they were rejected from the palace! ”

"Oh my God! What big crime did Liu Tao commit? "Nanying's surprise is even more extraordinary, Emperor Ling has always treated himself and his brothers differently, even Cao Cao's rebellious felony that day, but only a few words to exonerate, now so many meritorious and even shared the tribulation of the courtiers to intercede together, but not even the opportunity to meet, could it be that Liu Tao committed some heinous capital crime?

"He openly insulted the Son of Heaven above the court, and he has committed a great crime of disrespect!" Jia Xu slowly knelt down and sat down, and said helplessly: "We didn't know before, it was Wang Yue who secretly sent someone to report the letter!" ”

"What the hell is going on? This is when it happened! Nanying's good mood finally disappeared, Liu Tao not only had a good relationship with him, but also Li Jin's uncle, and he couldn't stand by no matter what.

"On the third day of your disappearance, that is, the second day of Luoyang City's celebration of victory!" Jia Xu sighed: "Liu Tao came from Chang'an, looking for you but didn't see you, so he went to the palace to face the saint, how do you know that he will never return!" ”

"What do you say he insulted the Son of Heaven?" Nanying remembered the story of Liu Tao who spoke up for Li Ying that day, and couldn't help but feel gloomy in his heart. Although this Liu Tao is also a veteran of officialdom, he is still a man of temperament after all, and it is inevitable to say anything disrespectful.

"I heard that he first violently criticized the cavalry general Zhang Wen for his mistake in using troops, which caused the rebels to take advantage of the ......"

"Oh no!" Nan Ying blurted out: "After all, Zhang Wen is the chief general of the Son of Heaven's order, even if he uses troops improperly, what is the difference between being so outspoken and criticizing the Son of Heaven for not knowing people?" ”

"It's nothing!" Jia Xu smiled bitterly: "He immediately targeted Zhang Rang, scolding him for deducting military salaries and exploiting the locality, which directly led to the rebellion of Li Xiangru and the kingdom!" ”

"This old boy!" Nan Ying was shocked again: "Is he just scolding Zhang Rang?" This is a declaration of war against the whole of China and North Korea! ”

"That Liu Tao is really an iron-clad minister! He listed eight major events in a row, although all of them were worried about the country and the people, and he had the world in mind, but unfortunately they were all sharp in words and to the point, pointing directly at the ten permanent servants and the powerful people in the DPRK and China! ”

"The family has a bad son, and the family is not defeated. The country has a minister, and it will not die in its country! Nanying listened in a daze, and suddenly complicated emotions welled up in his heart, not only admiring Liu Tao from the bottom of his heart, but also feeling a little ashamed of some of his own behavior, at least in the eyes of many people, he was almost wearing the same pants as Zhang Rang.

In order to take care of the face of the ten permanent servants, the Son of Heaven reprimanded him on the spot not to use the topic to play and make a big fuss, which was originally to let the Central Dynasty go to the next level! Considers...... Alas! ”

Jia Xu shook his head and sighed: "This Liu Tao doesn't know if he is crazy, he actually pointed at the Son of Heaven and scolded, saying that he was negligent in employing people, misleading the country and the people, and in the long run, the country will not be protected!" ”

"He's crazy!" Nan Ying was shocked: "How could Liu Tao say such indiscriminate words? Is he going to kill himself? ”

As soon as Liu Tao said this, the whole hall was shocked, and no one dared to defend him!" Jia Xu smiled bitterly: "I heard that the face of the Son of Heaven was very scary at that time, and he was almost about to attack on the spot!" And Zhang Rang lost no time in inviting the Son of Heaven and immediately put Liu Tao in prison! ”

"In prison? Which prison? Nan Ying trembled in his heart and shouted, "Is it the Huangmen North Temple Prison?" ”

"Exactly!"

"Oh no!" Nan Ying bounced up: "That's where Zhang Rang's power is, he is obviously killing!" ”

"The last general pleads with the general!" Li Jin was shocked when he heard this, and knelt on the ground and shouted: "Save the last general's uncle!" ”

Nan Ying rushed out of the hall: "I want to meet the Son of Heaven immediately, and I want to visit Zhang Rang!" ”

"I'm afraid it's useless!" Jia Xu's faint voice came from behind him: "Liu Tao is so blatantly disobedient to the Son of Heaven, he has already created the best reason for Zhang Rang to kill. Whether it is the Son of Heaven or Zhang Rang, will they allow such a person to continue to exist in the world? ”

"And you, my lord!" He said bitterly: "If we put our hearts and minds to defend him, not only will we offend the Son of Heaven, but also ruin the deep friendship we have worked so hard to establish with Zhang Rang!" ”

"I don't care!" Nanying turned around like a whirlwind, his eyes shining brightly: "I only know that Liu Tao shouldn't die!" Whoever dares to stop me from saving him is my enemy! ”

Chun Yuqiong walked out of the palace gate again with a complicated face, and whispered to Nan Ying: "The Son of Heaven said, Nan Han is confused, how can he maintain a man without a king and a father?" ”

Nan Ying's heart sank, he finally realized a terrible problem, the Son of Heaven also had murderous intentions towards Liu Tao, he could no longer tolerate the existence of a criminal courtier, which would cause a serious provocation to his imperial majesty!

At the same time, a wave of anger also rushed up, could it be that just because of a word, the Son of Heaven could ruthlessly kill a loyal minister? What's more, this person has made a great contribution to the community! It's really a response to the saying that a companion is like a tiger!

"What else did the Son of Heaven say?" Nan Ying's voice calmed down, and there was even a hint of coldness, which made Chun Yuqiong's heart beat for a while, of course he understood that if Nan Ying lost his mind, the Son of Heaven would not be taken into his eyes.

"Han Yang, you, don't be impulsive!" He exclaimed in horror: "The Son of Heaven treats you like heaven and earth, and you must not act recklessly!" ”

"Reckless?" Nanying looked up to the sky and snorted: "It's the Son of Heaven who has lost his ability to accommodate people!" ”

He suddenly turned around and left, and said in his mouth: "You go to the Son of Heaven now, Liu Tao and I will save it, even if it is to remove all my merits, even if it is to destroy my family, no one will want to stop me!" ”

"Han Yang can't!" Chun Yuqiong shouted in a trembling voice of despair: "How can you disappoint the Son of Heaven!" ”

"Disappointing the Son of Heaven? Luoyang has just come out of the shadow of destruction, is the Son of Heaven going to destroy the Great Wall? Nanying turned his head suddenly, stared at a pair of blood-red eyes and said fiercely: "You might as well go and tell him, this is the last time I save him!" If the people of the world knew that an emperor could kill an important minister based on his own joy and anger, would the world still be able to keep it? Han Sui was the first to wake up laughing in his dreams! ”

Chun Yuqiong was shaken violently and could no longer speak.

In the depths of the gloomy prison, Liu Tao sat on his knees with a calm face, quietly looking at several utensils presented in front of him: a white silk, a pot of poisonous wine, and a short blade.

The dim candle flame flickered, a dry hand grasped the wooden pillar of the cell, and a dark laugh like a ghost crying sounded: "Liu Tao, Liu Tao, you also have today!" More than ten years ago, you were bent on fighting the old man and the enemy, have you ever thought about today's ending? ”

Zhang Ranggan's face slowly emerged from the darkness, and he sneered: "Although you and I are political enemies, after all, we have known each other, but what are our last words?" ”

"History books!" Liu Tao said softly.

"What? What did you say? Zhang Rang didn't hear clearly for a while, he said in surprise.

"My last request is that my death be truly recorded in the history books, and as for the things in my life, I will leave them for future generations to comment, can you?" Liu Tao's voice could not hear a trace of fluctuation.

"Hahaha!" Zhang Rang was stunned for a while, and suddenly laughed wildly: "Pedantic! Stupidity! Amusing! Don't you know? Are history books written only for the victors? Whether you deserve it, or you die unjustly, no one will remember you for thousands of years! With you, you also want to leave a name in history? ”

"You're wrong!" Liu Tao said lightly: "A person is born in the world, if he does nothing, like a walking corpse, then he will indeed be completely annihilated in history!" But like me, I only know how to worry about the country and the people in my heart, and I do things with a clear conscience, so even if my body dies, my spirit is still immortal, and there are thousands of like-minded people who will pass on my story, and of course it will not be forgotten by future generations! ”

"Strong argument!" Zhang Rang sneered: "In that case, why do you want me to record you in the history books?" Isn't that redundant? ”

"You're wrong again!" Liu Tao smiled and said: "Do you really want to be famous in history?" I just want countless descendants to know from the cause of my death the true face of you who have brought disaster to the country and the people! ”

"You! Death is on the verge of the end of the tongue? Zhang Rang couldn't help but shout angrily: "Okay! I'm just as you want it to be! But before you die, you will be tortured in all ways! ”

Liu Tao's face was fearless, and he smiled loudly: "Just show it, I don't want to choose from these three ways of death!" ”

"Good! Good! Zhang Rang gritted his teeth and said: "Hugh has to be hard-mouthed, let's see who can save you!" ”

"I want to give it a try!" A deep voice came from around the corner: "But I don't know if the middle attendant will sell me this face!" ”
