The first year of Zhongping.

In September, Guangzong Yellow Turban chose to surrender due to Zhang Jiao's death, and Zhang Zhen's reputation soared in the Han Dynasty.

In October, Zhang Zhen entered the palace to face the saint, but unexpectedly, Emperor Ling listened to the slander of the eunuch Zhang Rang, dismissed the official position and went to prison. Zhang Rang and others were named liehous.

After the anti-thieves in the world learned the news, they complained, and the yellow turbans and anti-thieves in various places emerged one after another, and after the northern Xianbei learned the news, the soldiers and horses were frequently mobilized, and it seemed that they were preparing to attack the north of the Han Dynasty again.

In November, Qianghu rebelled and made Beigong Boyu a general. Liangzhou Assassin Shi Zuochang sent Gai Xun to lead the army to garrison Ayang County, and the rebels saw that Ayang County could not be breached, so they turned to attack Jincheng County, killed Chen Yi, the Taishou of Jincheng County, coerced Bian Zhang and Han Sui to join the gang, and elected Bian Zhang as the leader.

In March of the following year, Beigong Yu and others led tens of thousands of cavalry to enter Kou Sanfu under the banner of killing eunuchs and invaded the garden mausoleum.

After Emperor Ling learned the news, he appointed Huangfu Song as the general of the left chariot to crusade against Beigong Boyu. Zhu Jun was appointed as the general of the right chariot cavalry, and went north to attack and annex the Yellow Turban.

In the second year of Zhongping, March.

In Xuanwu County, the news that Zhang Zhen was imprisoned came, and a group of generals surrounded the Taishou Mansion and threatened to enter Luoyang to rescue Zhang Zhen, Tian Feng had no choice but to quickly convene a meeting.

"Sir, when the lord left, you let you act as the agent of everything, and now that the Bird Spirit Emperor has put the lord in prison, just 20,000 sailors just came in handy, and directly sent troops to Luoyang by water to rescue the lord." Zu Mao was the first to jump out, eager to send troops immediately.

"Uh-huh! The arrangement of the Yellow Turban captives was nearing completion, and most of the soldiers could be withdrawn. Yan Liang agreed.

"Alas! Unexpectedly, the lord was conscientious and made great contributions to the Han Dynasty, but in the end, he became the wedding dress of Zhang Rang and others. Cheng Pu said angrily.

Wen Chou scolded: "I have long seen that this dog emperor is not a good thing, and Mr. asked us to kill into the palace and cut off the dog's head." ”

"Bastard, if that's the case, the lord is in danger!" Frustrated and scolded. "Are you trying to murder your lord?"

"Why does the frustrated master book say that?" Tian Yu asked.

"What shall we do if they threaten the life of their lord?" He asked rhetorically without answering.

"This...!" Tian Yu couldn't think of any other way for a while.

"Geng Lin, isn't Lord Geng in Luoyang? Why not ask him for help. Yan Judao on the side.

Tian Feng refused: "No, this will harm Lord Geng, and after rescuing the lord, it is inevitable that he will not be designated as a thief." ”

"So what should we do, do we have to wait like this? No, even if I am alone, I have to go to Luoyang to rescue the lord. Wen Chou said stubbornly.

The judge said: "Nonsense, if one person can save it, Governor Guan and the guard have already rescued the lord, and they can still wait for you to make a move, besides, there are no less than 100,000 people with armor in Luoyang, and the city is high and the walls are thick, is it so easy to take?" ”

Tian Chou saw that Tian Feng was calm and asked, "Sir, do you have a plan?" ”

"Yes, yes, but it's just a solution." Tian Feng said reluctantly.

"Oh? I don't know what kind of strategy Mr. has? Hao Zhao asked.

Everyone heard that Tian Feng had a plan, stopped his voice, and listened.

"Alas! That's it, it seems that this is the only way to do it, and according to the intelligence, we only need to ......! ”

"Hmmm! This can only be considered a trick! Yuan Hao has thought that if this plan fails...! Alas! Forget it, this is the only way to do it at present. Frustrated, he was stunned.

"Yan Liang and Wen Chou, you two take a thousand elites of the Tiger Protection Battalion, and sneak into Luoyang separately and secretly, just in case." Tian Feng ordered directly.

"Yes!"

Then Tian Feng assigned tasks to each person.

......

Luoyang Imperial Palace.

One day, Emperor Ling had a banquet with Shichang in the back garden, consulted the doctor Liu Tao, and went to the Emperor Ling to mourn.

Emperor Ling asked, "Why is Aiqing acting like this?" ”

Liu Tao said sadly and indignantly: "The world is in danger, but Your Majesty and the eunuch are drinking and having fun here!" ”

Emperor Ling shouted: "Why is Aiqing alarmist here, I have already sent Huangfu Song and Zhu Jun to beg for thieves? ”

"Thieves from all over the world rose up and plundered the states and counties. The calamities are all caused by the ten permanent servants selling officials and harming the people, and bullying the king. Everyone in the court is gone, and disaster is right now! ”

The ten permanent servants all knelt down in front of Emperor Ling without crowns and cried: "The ministers are incompatible, and the ministers can't live!" May the beggars return to the fields, and give all their possessions to help the army. He wept bitterly.

Emperor Ling said angrily to Liu Tao: "There are also people in the Ru family who are close to you, why not allow me?" Someone came out of the palace gate to behead the public. ”

Liu Tao shouted: "It's not a pity for the minister to die!" Poor Han family, more than 400 years, but destroyed in the hands of eunuchs! ”

The Praetorian Guards escorted Liu Tao out of the palace and wanted to execute him, but a minister stopped in time and said, "Do it slowly, and wait for me to advise Your Majesty." ”

The public ban on satellite TV is Situ Chen Tan.

Chen Tanjing entered the palace to advise Emperor Ling: "What crime did Liu advise to be punished? ”

Emperor Ling said angrily: "Slander the ministers, and take the risk of profanity." ”

Chen Tan said: "The people of the world want to eat the meat of the ten permanent servants, and Your Majesty respects them like parents, and they are all feudal marquises; In the case of Feng Zhen and others, he connected the yellow scarf and wanted to cause civil strife; Your Majesty is not introspecting now, and the society of the country will immediately collapse! ”

Emperor Ling defended: "The matter of the seal is unclear. Among the ten permanent servants, is there not one or two loyal ministers? ”

Chen Tan hit his head on the steps.

Emperor Ling was annoyed and angry, and ordered Chen Tan to be sent out and imprisoned with Liu Tao.

I have to say that the official positions of the Han Dynasty have changed frequently, either abandoning the official position and returning to the field, or being dismissed, which also makes the Han court now available fewer and fewer people.

......

"Ziqi, Han Gong, why are you also in prison?" Lu Zhi saw that the people who came turned out to be Liu Tao and Chen Tan, so he asked.

"Alas! It was the old man who harmed Han Gong. Liu Tao sighed.

Chen Tan said: "Ziqi risked death to admonish, Your Majesty protected the eunuchs, wanted to behead Ziqi, and persuaded him at the bottom of the stairs, and was also imprisoned by His Majesty." ”

According to history, Liu Tao and Chen Tan both died in prison, and Zhang Zhen was thinking about not saving them.

Although the two of them acted stubbornly, Zhang Zhen has always admired this kind of person, Zhang Zhen thought of Tang Taizong and Wei Zheng at this time, and thought of the words of Empress Changsun to advise Tang Taizong: Take the mirror as a mirror, you can be dressed properly, take people as a reference, and you can know the gains and losses!

It's just that now I can't protect myself, how can I save them?

......

The next day at the Imperial Palace.

In an emergency, Huangfu Song and Zhu Jun had no intention of fighting and were defeated one after another.

When Emperor Ling learned about it, he became angry and dismissed Huangfu Song and Zhu Juncha as generals.

Zhang Wen was sent as the general of the left chariot cavalry to attack Qianghu Beigong Boyu, and Zhao Zhong was ordered to be the general of the right chariot cavalry to attack and the state of the Yellow Turban.

Zhang Wen was at a stalemate with Han Sui and Bian Zhang in Meiyang, so he sent the captured general Dong Zhuo to ask for Lingqiang, but Dong Zhuo returned in vain.

I don't know why, it seems that there is a hand operating in secret, and Zhang Wen's attack is already stretched, and Han Sui and Bian Zhang are not incompetent.

The situation in the state is even more one-sided, Zhao Zhong is a eunuch, except for flattery, leading troops to fight is simply ignorant, within half a month by Zhang Yan with sneak attacks, surprise attacks, ambushes defeated, seized countless materials, for a time Zhang Yan's yellow turban morale was high.

Zhao Zhong fled back to Luoyang.

Above the court, Zhao Zhong knelt tremblingly in the hall.

The Spirit Emperor was annoyed: "Fifty thousand elites, less than half a month, were defeated by the Yellow Turban, hum!" Get down, waste, a bunch of waste, no one can worry about me. ”

Hearing Emperor Ling's angry scolding, a group of civil and military officials did not dare to come out, for fear of harming the pond fish.

Wang Yun admonished: "Your Majesty is now afraid that only one person can break the Yellow Turban of the Prefecture. ”

"Oh? Who? ”

"Former general of Zhengbei, Zhang Zhen."
