Yan Xiuli sat alone and waited for her husband to return, but she didn't see any movement for a long time, so she ordered the woman to go to the front hall to investigate, only to learn that her husband was discussing politics with everyone in the front hall.

The shadow of the red candle illuminates the lonely long night, and the candle tears slide down, as if telling the sorrow of lovesickness.

I don't know how many lamps were changed, how many were extinguished, Yan Xiuli sat on the couch, leaned over the small table, and fell asleep.

Suddenly hearing a sound behind her, Yan Xiuli hurriedly got up to check, only to see that her husband was drunk and drunk, and was supported by a woman, the woman is delicate and elegant, and her feelings are melodious, who is not Cai Yan's sister?

Yan Xiuli saw the two kissing me and me, and they all regarded themselves as air, and she was heartbroken for a while, hating how they could treat her like this.

He opened his mouth to scold, but he could not make a sound.

It suddenly became clear to me that based on years of experience, this must be a dream.

Qiang opened his eyes, saw that his husband had not returned, and most of the red candles in the house had been burned out, so he supported his heavy body and opened the door.

Under the snow outside the house, a tall figure stood in the courtyard with his head down, letting the wind and snow fall on his body, and the blood on his body flowed sideways onto the thick snow, emitting a bewitching and strange light.

The figure suddenly raised its head, but it was her husband, Yan Xiuli's heart was like a knife, crying and running to the courtyard, wanting to hold him in her arms, but found that she couldn't get close to him.

Tears poured out like a spring, and she could only cry while chasing her husband's figure. How much pity is the cold ice and snow, poured on the numb body?

Suddenly, someone hugged him from behind, and when he looked back, it was his husband, his head stretched over his shoulders, his arms wrapped around his waist, and a pair of eyes, bright as stars, only shining on his own panic.

Yan Xiuli turned around and snuggled in her husband's arms, tears were still on her face, and she choked up and said, "Husband, am I dreaming?" ”

Lu Xiaoshu hugged his wife's body tightly, wiped away the tears for her, and said dotingly: "Fool, it's just a dream, why do you still make yourself cry?" ”

Kissing the red lips lightly, the delicate wife finally broke into a smile, like a pear blossom after the rain, bright and dripping.

In the early morning of the next day, Lu Xiaoshu stepped into the palace in the snow, and put forward his plans and ideas to the emperor with the recital written by Chen Lin overnight.

The emperor has not yet been in power, and this matter naturally has to be approved by the queen mother, I thought it would take some time, but who expected the emperor to tell him to wait a while, and went out with the prepared holy decree, but the work of the tea has already rushed in. The holy decree stamped with the emperor's jade seal and the queen mother's seal was awarded to Lu Xiaoshu.

Lü Xiaoshu named the new government secretariat, which was responsible for drafting the emperor's edicts, and Shangshu Province no longer had the right to give orders.

Lu Xiaoshu appointed himself as the secretary general, led the secretariat from afar, and appointed Zhao Hu, a close eunuch of the emperor, as the secretary and supervisor, Yan Song as the secretary and order, and Jia Xu, Chen Lin, Sima Lang, and Yang Xiu as the secretary Zhonglang.

For a time, the government and the opposition shook.

On the same day, Lu Xiaoshu drafted the first imperial edict issued by the secretariat, and Cao Cao, the prisoner who assassinated the great Sima Dingyuan, was wanted throughout the country, and a reward of 1,000 taels was awarded and he was made a township marquis.

Of course, this was all agreed by Emperor Ming and recorded by the secretary of the supervision and registration.

In mid-November, Ma Teng, who was stationed in Chang'an, sent a battle report.

Dong Zhuojun's lieutenant general Duan Xuan led more than 5,000 people to Chang'an to surrender and presented Dong Zhuo's defense map.

Ma Teng got the help of Duan Xuan, personally led the army to attack, and broke Dong Zhuo in Tianshui County. Dong Zhuo led his troops to retreat, Ma Teng pursued and killed, but was ambushed by Li Ru, the army was defeated, Ma Teng was also injured, fortunately rescued by Duan Xuan, and fled back to Chang'an with the remnants.

Dong Zhuo regained Tianshui, and the whole army was about to go to Chang'an to kill.

In the letter, Ma Teng hoped that the commander would send reinforcements as soon as possible, otherwise Chang'an would not be guaranteed.

On the same day, the secretariat issued a holy decree to seal Liangzhou Assassin Shi Huangfu Song as the general of Anxi, and ordered him to send troops to exterminate Dong Zhuo.

He also ordered Wei Yue and Zang Ba to order 20,000 soldiers to rush to the aid of Chang'an.

At the same time, Cao Cao scattered all his wealth in Chenliu, recruited tens of thousands of soldiers and horses, and preached that he would crusade against Ding Yuan's remnants and Lu Bu.

Among the three giants in later history, Cao Cao was still a wild general who lacked soldiers and major generals, Liu Bei was still working part-time under Gongsun Zhan, and Sun Quan was still squatting on the Yangtze River to play loaches.

On November 20, Lu Xiaoshu was immersed in the bookcase, looking through the military documents in various places, and found that Yuan Shao had recruited another 50,000 people in the Bohai Sea, and Yuan Shu was not idle in Nanyang, and also recruited 30,000 troops.

At this time, the doorman came to report that the court lieutenant Zhong Xuan came to visit.

When Lu Xiaoshu heard this person's visit, he hurriedly collected the paperwork and arranged for someone to come in to speak, thinking: Maybe there is a new development in the assassination case.

Tingwei Zhong Xuan walked inside, bowed and saluted: "See the Marquis of Anyi." ”

Lu Xiaoshu waved his hand to excuse himself and asked, "Why did Captain Ting come here?" ”

Zhong Xuan replied: "According to our various investigations and interrogations, there are 433 prisoners in custody besieging the Marquis of Anyi's Mansion, of which 50% are related to the Yuan family, more than 30% are from the Xiahou family, 10% are from the Wei family, and 10% are not from the big family, maybe some people who are attached to the big family. ”

Lu Xiaoshu found out where they came from, the main way is to know who the enemy is, as for their ending, there has always been only one, that is, death, daring to threaten the life safety of his family when he is no longer there, this is unforgivable.

Seeing that Zhong Miao wanted to speak and stopped, it seemed that he still had something to say, so he asked, "What else is going on?" ”

Zhong Xuan hesitated: "Our secret agents recently found a private house of the Yuan family, which contains a large number of ordnance, and it seems that there is a heart of disobedience. ”

Lu Xiaoshu was also taken aback, possession of weapons is a serious crime, although there is no statement of punishing the nine clans at this time, but the three clans of Yi are still mostly mentioned in ancient books.

Collect 20,000 soldiers, even if you raze him tens of millions of times, there will still be people left.

Lu Xiaoshu said: "At this time, the affairs of your court lieutenant are not under my jurisdiction, so you don't have to report to me. ”

After speaking, he gave Zhong Xuan a holy decree, and wrote last year: The rebels and bandits are causing trouble in Kyoto, intending to rebel, and they are now sentenced to capital punishment and all of them are executed.

Zhong Miao was secretly speechless, received the holy decree and left.

It was night, the waning moon was half-shining, and there was no wind or rain.

Lieutenant Ting led the troops to conduct a thorough investigation overnight, raided the private house of the Yuan family that had secretly hidden the ordnance, and seized more than 5,000 complete sets of ordnance, including a long bow for controlled ordnance, a long spear, a long plastic, and a long halberd.

The emperor was furious and ordered the arrest of 56 people from the Yuan clan in Luoyang, including the former Taifu Yuan Kui, Jin Wuwei Yuan Feng and other important ministers of the Han Dynasty.

The next day, the important ministers discussed and approved the beheading order of 56 members of the Yuan family.

The document shall be issued by the Secretariat and stamped and approved by the Secretary.

This battle uprooted the Yuan family, which had been entrenched in Luoyang for many years. The family of the fourth and third princes has become a legend.

But it also aroused the wrath of Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu of Nanyang, who were far away on the Shandong Peninsula.

They firmly believed that it was Lu Xiaoshu who single-handedly contributed to this matter, and their hatred for him became deeper and deeper.
