Chapter 216: The King's Strictest
In the palace, the little emperor Liu Wei watched the temple people go out of the palace to deliver the decree, walked back to the inner hall calmly, sat in front of He Rou with a smile, and asked softly, "Queen Mother, do you think he will protect himself more, or help us more?" ”
Hearing this, He Rou's face was a little uncertain, so she replied uncertainly, "There will be!"
As soon as the 40,000 soldiers and horses were deployed outside the city, Long Jun received Liu Yan's will, looking at the eunuch in front of him who was humble and smiling, Long Jun chuckled and shook his head, since the death of the ten permanent servants in his own hands, all the eunuchs who saw Long Jun were a real servant, and there was no longer the arrogance of the original!
"Trouble Lord tell Your Majesty that when I prepare the defenders on the city wall, I will immediately enter the palace to face the saint!"
"Okay, Master Hou, then the official will go back to the palace first to report to His Majesty!"
After the eunuch left, Long Jun looked at the direction of Miyagi and had mixed feelings in his heart, although his most open purpose was to leave Luoyang and seal Chang'an, and when the world was in turmoil, he would capture Chang'an and take the pass, ignoring the Central Plains and the Central Plains, but during the time when he intersected with Liu Yan, he found that he gradually fell in love with the young man, which is why he didn't go to Chang'an at the beginning of his resignation, otherwise with the means of Skynet, even the hundreds of thousands of Xiliang troops outside the city could not stop him Long Jun's whereabouts!
"Uncle Shi, my side has been arranged, and the houses around the city gate are now in our hands, once there is a rebellion in the city, these people will definitely die, and there is no chance to make trouble!"
"Well, good! Your Majesty asked me to enter the palace to discuss important matters, you guard here first, if there is any change in the enemy army outside the city, give me the capture of Dong Mansion first, even if the city is broken, pull Dong Zhuo to me!"
"Whoa!"
A quarter of an hour later, Long Jun appeared in armor in the Jiade Palace, and at this time, there was no one else in the Jiade Hall except Liu Bianxie and a table of wine and food, because what Liu Bian was going to say next was really inconvenient for someone to be present, even if it was his own mother. Seeing this, Long Jun took off his helmet, walked to the table with a chuckle, and sat in front of Liu Yan!
"It is rumored that this kind of table couch is researched by you, in order to enhance the family affection when eating, the widow tried it and felt good, and when eating with the queen mother and younger brother on weekdays, it is indeed more intimate than in the past, if it weren't for my sister's willful departure, and the imperial aunt was unwilling to enter the palace, presumably our family might be able to get together!"
Listening to Liu Bian's slightly sentimental words, the chopsticks that Long Jun had just picked up were suspended in the air, and after a deep groan, he put them down gently, sighed and asked, "Your Majesty does you need me to do anything?" ”
"At the beginning, my father and the dragon returned to heaven, and everyone fought endlessly, regardless of the safety of the world, it was Mr. who turned the tide with his own influence and helped the widow to the throne, this kindness I have always remembered! Later, the uncle wanted to compete for the position of auxiliary government to do Huo Guang's move, and he and Shichang served the fire and Miyagi, but it was also Mr. who acted angrily to help the widow stabilize the situation! In the end, Dong Zhuo used the name of Mr. to use the banner of the Qing Jun's side, intending to force the palace, and it was also Mr. who made a move to thwart the other party's conspiracy! But in the end, because of the cowardice of the widow, Mr.'s plan fell short! Speaking of which, every civil strife has to rely on Mr. to intervene, but every time it is hindered by such and such mistakes! This glass of wine is my apology to my husband! Sir please!"
"Your Majesty, this...."
Without waiting for Long Jun to stop him, Liu Bian drank it all, then smiled faintly, put down the wine glass, and continued, "Today's situation is very clear, even if Mr. is fully prepared, he may not be able to stop Dong Zhuo's Xiliang army, kill Dong Zhuo, I'm afraid that the rioting Xiliang army will burn Luoyang City to the ground!" And if the confrontation goes on for a long time, it is impossible to call on soldiers and horses from all over the country to enter the king of Jingqin, and I believe that these relatives of the widow wish that the widow would die at the hands of Dong Zhuo, so as to replace the widow and sit on the position of the Ninth Five-Year Plan!"
"Your Majesty...", he shouted his Majesty heavily, looking at Liu Bian, who was becoming more and more resentful between the words, the helplessness on Long Jun's face became heavier and heavier, whether it was Liu Yan, Liu Biao, Liu Yu or Liu Bei, since the beating of these royal clansmen, except for the gradual reduction of taxes every year, no other government affairs have appeared in Luoyang!
"Today, I called Mr. to come and treat him with a teacher's courtesy, hoping that Mr. can finally do the widow a favor!" Regarding the reminder in Long Jun's words, Liu Wei laughed at it, he knew that there were more spies inside and outside the palace, including the major clansmen, and some scholars and Dong Zhuo, including Long Jun in front of him!
"Your Majesty, please speak! Your Majesty and I are not just monarchs and ministers, or teachers and students, we are still relatives, if Tong'er knows that His Majesty has a request for me, I still hold it, maybe when Tong'er comes back, I may die a miserable death!" Long Jun, who was sitting with a dignified expression, had a hint of humor between his words, which made Liu Bian's restless heart settle down slightly!
"Hehe, this matter can't help you, our brother is most afraid of this sister on weekdays! But when it comes to my sister, I still have to say that her character is like that, although I don't know what happened between you, but brother-in-law, please be kind to my sister! Thank you very much for this!"
Liu Bian got up and gave a salute to Long Jun, which made Long Jun stunned, but the other party did not give Long Jun a chance to speak out, after this salute, Liu Bian chuckled and said, "There is still one day to the deadline given by Dong Zhuo, I know that this gang of people in the court who claim to be Qingliu will not compromise, so the Xiliang army riot is inevitable." Dong Zhuo dares to use his own life as bait, and gamble with the lives of the people in the city, I have to say that the widow can't afford to gamble, and you can't afford to gamble!"
"I'm sorry Your Majesty, if I hadn't been my wayward Shi Wei at the beginning, Dong Zhuo would not have had this opportunity to become big in Luoyang, which led to today's disaster, and please punish Your Majesty!"
"The Yuan clan conspired with the henchmen to persecute the widow, and it is not your fault in this matter, so you don't have to worry about it! Since the situation is not in the place of you and me, so the widow wants you to seal it outside, once Dong Zhuo does Wang Mang's move, you will have less constraints and more certainty!" Liu Bian is from the royal family after all, and he is born with this excellent sensitivity to the conspiracy of this kind of power!
But these words made Long Jun's body tremble, and there were some less constraints? Has Liu Bian already made his choice? Then he raised his head and stared at the other party tightly, and said suspiciously, "Your Majesty, you?" ”
"Tonight, I will have dinner with Tang Ji under the pretext of recruiting my mother, and then I will stun the two of them with drugs, and I will hand them over to you to send them out of Luoyang first, and tomorrow morning, the widow will use the excuse of Xiliang Rebellion to let you go to Chang'an to prepare troops and horses to quell the chaos, Ma Chao and Zhao Yun followed, and everyone in the Long family also took this opportunity to move to Chang'an! Although Dong Zhuo still has troops over there, with your means, I believe that the other party is not your opponent at all!"
The words like a dying entrusting orphan made Long Jun bow his head and be silent for a long time, and his heart was even more twisted, his goal was achieved, but could Liu Bian still have a chance to live? Why did you only take He Rou and Tang Ji and not Liu Xie? Why did you let yourself take away all the Long family members and leave no one in Beijing as a hostage? In his previous life, Liu Wei was killed by the dove not long after Dong Zhuo entered Beijing. Can't you escape that fate now?
"I am the king, the king of the great Han, the co-lord of the world! Everyone in the world says that the emperor is good, but it's a pity that he doesn't understand the hardships of the Son of Heaven, and he is alone and unusual, and being cautious is true! I'm afraid I'm sorry for the ancestors of the Liu family, I'm afraid I'm sorry for the people under my rule, I'm afraid I'm sorry for the queen mother's expectations of me, I'm afraid of leaving a stench for 10,000 years! There are so many things I fear, but I don't have a choice! Dong Zhuo can gamble with the widow with his life, why can't the widow gamble with him with his life? If I lose, there will still be Xie'er, but he must keep winning, otherwise what awaits him is a butcher's knife hanging from his neck!" At the end of the words, Liu Wei made a loud noise, poured a glass of wine fiercely, and then looked at Long Jun with expectant eyes, hoping that he would agree to his plea!
After struggling for a moment, Long Jun slowly raised his head, knelt on one knee, clasped his hands into fists, and said with a smile, "Weichen takes the order!"
On the morning of the second day, officials from all parties, including Dong Zhuo and Yuan Kui, knelt neatly in the Jiade Palace, after a night of tossing, Liu Yan's mood stabilized a lot, except for asking the Tingwei Mansion about the case as usual, the rest of the time did not mention the current situation, which made Dong Zhuo, who wanted to force the palace, lock his brows tightly, and looked in the direction of Long Jun from time to time!
"A few days ago, a report came from Xiliang, saying that Beigong Boyu and other Liangzhou rebelled and revolted, and the imperial court wanted to send the former general Dong Zhuo back to Liangliang to quell the rebellion, but due to the murder of Liang, General Dong could only stay in Beijing temporarily, so the widow today specially ordered the hussar general Long Jun to lead the military captain Ma Chao, and Yulin Zhonglang to drive Zhao Yun to Chang'an to collect the official army to quell the rebellion!"
"The official takes the order!"
As if it had been rehearsed in advance, Liu Bian had just given the order here, and Long Jun, Ma Chao, and Zhao Yun had taken over the order, without giving other officials a chance to object. Seeing this, Dong Zhuo was just stunned for a moment, and a smile tugged at the corner of his mouth, the little emperor is admitting defeat! As for Long Jun's trip to Chang'an, it is beneficial and harmless to him, and he wants to rely on three people to collect and pay his Xiliang Army, which is more nonsense than Arabian Nights, not to mention that this trip to Chang'an, the road is full of the deployment of the Xiliang Army, and occasionally a horse thief intercepts and kills, who can avenge this?
Yuan Kui on the other side glanced at Dong Zhuo, and thought about Liu Zhuo's purpose here, but after thinking about it, he didn't understand what it meant to install Long Jun in Dong Zhuo's lair! And Wang Yun behind him, but after turning his eyes, he figured out the key to the matter, and then took a deep look at Liu Wei on the dragon throne and shook his head and sighed!
"Your Majesty, this is going to Xiliang to quell the chaos, although the minister is fully sure, but within a few years, Weichen does not dare to guarantee that he can successfully solve Beigong Boyu and others, so the minister asks Your Majesty to let the minister go with his family to relieve the minister's homesickness!"
"What? With family? "Long Jun's excessive request, not to mention Cao Cao, who has always been good friends with him on weekdays, looked puzzled, even Dong Zhuo was stunned, the generals of the inner dynasty led the troops outside, and the family stayed in Beijing as a hostage is the unspoken rule of the imperial court for thousands of years, how dare Long Jun make such an excessive request?
However, before anyone could reprimand, Liu Bian, who was on the dragon seat, said softly, "Quasi-play!" Retreat!"
