On April 29 of the sixth year of the Han Dynasty, the situation in the two states of Hebei and Youyou was basically stable, Kang Peng guarded Yecheng with his second brother Dong Chongzhen, assisted by Tianfeng, Zhang Liao, Xu Huang and Pang De, Kang Peng and Jia Xu, Lu Bu, Zhao Yun, Xu Rong and Ma Zhong and others led 40,000 elite soldiers to return to Chang'an, from Yecheng to Chang'an, although the army took the Huguan Road the safest and fastest, but Kang Peng chose the Hanoi route that had been burned into ruins by Cao Cao's army, and rushed to Luoyang with murderous spirit, to find Kang Peng's brother-in-law Emperor Han Xian to settle accounts.

Since Kang Peng led Dong Zhuo's army to withdraw from Luoyang, Luoyang has been reduced to a three-regardless zone, Kang Peng used Luoyang as a buffer to avoid a head-on conflict with the Central Plains princes, and the Central Plains princes were afraid of Dong Zhuojun's superior forces, and did not dare to extend their forces into Luoyang on the plain to fight head-on with the Xiliang Iron Cavalry, Luoyang was temporarily exempt from the war for several years, but there are advantages and disadvantages, although Luoyang was not affected by the war too much, but Luoyang's economy was a mess by Kang Peng before, completely collapsed, In addition, a large number of poor people who followed Kang Peng away from the country lost their manpower advantage and the inevitable decline of Luoyang, which lost the tax income of the princes' territories, and almost reached the point of incorrigibility.

In mid-May, Kang Peng and his entourage arrived safely in Luoyang, now Luoyang, after Dong Zhuojun has repeatedly washed the population, has changed from a large number of people to a sparsely populated land, dozens of miles are difficult to see people, the fertile fields in the past are overgrown with weeds, the city wall is broken and collapsed seriously, there is no weather in the capital of the Han Dynasty at all, and it is not even as good as the current third largest city in Yongzhou, Fufeng, the situation in Luoyang is so bad, it can be seen.

When the murderous Kang Peng was still more than ten miles away from Luoyang, Tanma reported that the four gates of Luoyang were closed, and the servant Zhu Xian and the new Ministry of Works, Prince Lang, stood on the east gate tower with the holy decree in their hands. Kang Peng sneered when he heard the report, "I don't want Gu to enter the city, I want Gu to make a detour back to Chang'an, and I'm afraid that Gu will use a knife soldier, and I also sent Zhu Xian, who has a good relationship with Gu, to pass on the decree, and I have a really good wishful thinking." ”

Along the way, Kang Peng had already strictly ordered the Dark Moon Group to find out why the imperial court dared to disobey him, it turned out that after the death of Ma Ridan, the old minister who was respected by Kang Peng at the beginning of this year, the pitiful power of the imperial court fell into the hands of Dong Cheng, the ruling Jinwu who did not share the sky with Kang Peng, Dong Cheng immediately promoted a group of young courtiers loyal to the Han family to reuse, including Wu Shuo, the prince of the Ministry of Works, the captain of Changshui, and the Zhaoxin general Wu Zilan and others, although the officials are not big, but they are all people who hate the authoritarian Kang Peng, coincided with Liu Bei's pretending to make people come to the court, and several people instigated the emperor to respect Liu and degrade Dong, and named Liu Bei, a relative who could not be beaten by eight poles, as the emperor's uncle, which greatly raised Liu Bei's identity and allowed Liu Bei to justifiably go against Kang Peng. Several people were also very dissatisfied with Kang Peng's declaration of war with Yamatai, thinking that they should submit to the Yamatai Kingdom with the royal road, rather than violently conquering it, and they were also jealous and hated the envoys of various countries to meet Kang Peng, so there was Dong Chengchuan's decree to deny Kang Peng's resolution.

As Kang Peng expected, when Kang Peng and his entourage drove to the city wall of Luoyang, Zhu Xian, the servant who was pushed to the forefront by the imperial court, shouted: "There is a decree in the saint, Dong Zhuo, the king of Kang, kneels to take it." Kang Peng stood on the king's car, sneering and refusing to move, Zhu Xian saw Kang Peng's appearance, secretly wiped a cold sweat, and shouted: "The Holy Lord has decreed, please kneel down and receive His Royal Highness King Kang." "Zhu Xian is also helpless, before Ma Ridan died, he had tears and tears to pull the Han Xian Emperor who came to visit, and instructed, hoping that the Han Xian Emperor would hand over the power of the court to Zhu Xian, who had a good relationship with Kang Peng, with Zhu Xian's mediation, the Han Dynasty had a glimmer of time to linger, and Emperor Han Xian also agreed on the spot, who knew that Ma Ridan had just closed his eyes, and the corpse was not yet cold, Emperor Han Xian immediately broke his promise, promoted Dong Cheng, the ruling Jinwu, to the Taifu, and demoted Zhu Xianguan to go home to study and think, Dong Cheng resolutely stood on the opposite side of Kang Peng, As a result, Dong Zhuo's army is now in the city, and the imperial court remembered Zhu Xian, who was dismissed and demoted, and pulled Zhu Xian out to negotiate with Kang Peng.

In front of everyone in the city, Kang Peng sat down in a big way, knocked his leg and said coldly: "What will you say, listen alone." The prince of the Ministry of Industry in the city was furious, and was about to speak, but Zhu Xian grabbed him and said softly: "Don't you see the tens of thousands of troops below?" If he said a word, Luoyang City would have to be trampled into powder. The prince looked at the 40,000 murderous Dong Zhuojun below, and the blood and qi just now were immediately thrown out of the Nine Nights Cloud, and his breath retreated.

"Fengtian carrier, the emperor said." Zhu Xian unfolded the holy decree and said: "King Kang Dong Zhuo's expedition to the national thief Yuan Shao, the big break, I am very relieved, give King Kang Dong Zhuo ten pairs of jade walls, and seal Dong Zhuo's brother Dong Chong Youzhou Assassin History, Pingyuan Hou, Dong Zhuo's subordinates should be rewarded for their merits." The reward and punishment of Goguryeo, Samhan and Yamatai played by King Kang Dong Zhuo the day before yesterday should be followed. State affairs are busy, Dong Zhuo does not have to go to Beijing to thank him, he can return to Chang'an first. Chin this. ”

Zhu Xian put down the holy decree and pleaded: "Your Royal Highness King Kang, you should be satisfied now, right?" Please look at the face of the old man and the deceased Matthew Fu, let go of Master Dong, let's go back to Chang'an, the old man will definitely come to the door to thank you in the future. ”

"Lone originally planned to go back to Chang'an." Kang Peng said coldly: "It's just that Luoyang is now dilapidated and withered, and the Han and Cao Cao and Liu Bei, the two thieves, are making waves, so that Banzai lives in Luoyang. ”

"What?" Zhu Xian was taken aback, and hurriedly said: "The king can't, Luoyang is the national capital, and the imperial tombs of the Great Han Dynasty are all in Luoyang. ”

Kang Peng didn't want to talk nonsense with Zhu Xian, with a wave of his fat hand, more than ten Dong Zhuo military sappers rushed to the city gate with a few powder kegs, quickly placed the powder kegs in front of the Luoyang city gate, and lined up the fuse. "Dong Zhuo, do you want to rebel?"

"Boom" There was a loud bang, the Luoyang city gate that had been in disrepair for a long time was reduced to pieces, and the prince was so frightened that he fled into the city, only Zhu Xian rushed down the city tower, and had the courage to stop Kang Peng's car, crying: "King, the old man knows that this time it is long live and Dong Cheng is wrong, but you can't hijack the holy car, which can only leave you with infamy through the ages." ”

"Fengxian, Tiesun, you lead your troops to surround the palace, and you don't need to flee alone." Kang Peng first ordered Lu Bu and Xu Rong to surround the palace, and then took Zhu Xie's hand and said: "Gu has his own measure, he won't hurt the saint, don't cry, go with Gu to give Ma Taifu three pillars of incense, pity him is nearly eighty years old, still working hard for state affairs, and like Gu's son-in-law Li Ru, he is tired to death for the country." ”

After solemnly bowing to Ma Ridan's spiritual seat, Kang Peng asked Ma Ridan's family to move to Chang'an, Ma Ridan's family tearfully agreed, and Kang Peng asked Zhu and his family to move to Chang'an, Zhu Xi cried, did not agree or refuse. At this time, the sergeant came to report that as soon as Dong Zhuojun surrounded the palace, Feng Bin and Feng Guo's eunuch brothers united a group of eunuchs, holding a sharp knife to escort Emperor Han Xian, who was hiding in the deep palace, out of the palace gate, and wanted to hand it over to Dong Zhuojun to make contributions.

"Zilong, you take someone to ask the family members of hundreds of officials to pack up and go to Chang'an together, those who are willing to leave will go, and those who do not want to go will be free to do so, and they must not be coerced." In the voice of Zhu Xian's crying and scolding Eunuch Feng's brothers, Kang Peng issued a series of orders, "Also, call on the people to go to Chang'an together, and the people will also voluntarily prepare carriages and horses, and we will set off in the evening." ”

Zhao Yun agreed to go, Kang Peng and Zhu rushed to the palace, and when they arrived in front of the palace, the palace was already crying, and there was a mess in front of the palace gate. ”

Kang Peng took the brocade box, opened it and saw that it was a four-inch radius of five dragons and buttons jade seal, missing a corner next to it, made up with gold, and there were eight seal characters on it - ordered by the sky, both longevity and Yongchang. Kang Peng recognized that this is the famous Bian Heyu in history, also known as gold inlaid jade, after the vicissitudes of life, the color of the jade has not changed, it is still glorious, and it is one of the symbols of the emperor.

The moment Kang Peng picked up the jade seal, the Eunuch Feng brothers took the lead in kowtowing and said, "Long live the emperor, long live, long live." Then Jia Xu, Lu Bu, Xu Rong, Ma Zhong and Li Ru promoted the court officials who knelt down one after another, knelt three times and bowed nine times: "Long live the emperor, long live, long live!" Then Dong Zhuojun's soldiers knelt down one after another, all shouting Kang Peng as the emperor, and Han Chen and Han Xian Emperor Gu, who were loyal to the imperial court, were all as pale as earth, and they all said in their hearts that the day when Dong Zhuo usurped the throne finally came.

Kang Peng's fat hand waved quickly, and the shouting stopped, Kang Peng laughed and said, "You want to push Lone to the fire pit? Kang Peng strode forward, handed the jade seal back to Emperor Han Xian, and said loudly: "Saint, the jade seal of the country is the important treasure of the country, please keep it solemnly." Emperor Han Xian took back the jade seal in fear, wondering in his heart, didn't the Demon King Dong want to be the emperor all day long? Why don't you get the jade seal of the country and don't want it? And give it back to me?

"In the first year of the first peace, the suburbs of Luoyang." Kang Peng said loudly: "Lone once swore to the sky with an arrow, Lone is loyal to the country and the people, and must not rebel, if Dong Zhuo is called the emperor and betrays the lord, it is like a broken arrow!" The oath is in the ear, Lone is only willing to be a Hanchen, never have the idea of usurpation, and you will not be persecuted by Lonely. After making that oath, Kang Peng regretted saying too much, and now retribution has finally come, Kang Peng has already held most of the country, but he is forced to swear that he must continue to play the sign of respecting the Han Dynasty.

"If you can't be Zhao Kuangyin, just learn from King Zhou Wen." Kang Peng smiled bitterly in his heart.

……

On April 30 of the sixth year of the first peace, Kang Peng closed the palaces and halls of the Luoyang Imperial Palace, and left Xu Rong to guard Luoyang, and personally led Dong Zhuojun to hold the last emperor of the Han Dynasty, Emperor Han Xian and the eunuchs in the palace to move to Chang'an.

The news that Kang Peng forced Emperor Han Xian to move the capital spread, the world was shocked, and there were people from all over the country who cried loudly, or those who committed suicide by hitting the wall and throwing themselves into the water, and there were also those who rushed to Chang'an to be loyal to the Han family, and there were also a few cracks within Dong Zhuojun, and Dong Zhuojun, who was a little loyal to the Han family, was greatly dissatisfied with Kang Peng's move, and since then he has a different heart.

The happiest people are Liu Bei and Zhuge Liang - happy that Liu Bei cries every day, cursing Dong Boss endlessly, in order to comfort Liu Bei, Zhuge Xuan, Zhuge Liang and Mi Zhu, Mi Fang took the opportunity to persuade Liu Bei to lead the king of Runan, so as not to cut off the hidden danger of the Han incense, Liu Bei cried and refused several times, and finally reluctantly agreed, self-proclaimed King Runan, self-added Jiuxi, just waiting for Kang Peng to usurp the throne or wait for Kang Peng to slaughter the Han Xian Emperor with a knife, or Cao Cao to call the emperor, Liu Bei can justifiably ascend the throne and inherit the Han incense. Zhuge Xuan and Zhuge Liang's uncle and nephew sent Xizuo to Qingzhou to spread rumors, spreading rumors that Emperor Han Xian had been killed by Kang Peng, hoping that Cao Cao would rashly claim the emperor after being confused by the rumors.

Liu Bei pretended to cry while snickering in Xuzhou, and also made small moves, and Cao Cao in Qingzhou fainted on the spot after hearing the news, and woke up crying blood, from the heart of the pain Han room declined, when Zhuge Liang sent people to spread the rumor that Emperor Xian had died to Cao Cao's ears, Cao Cao was also shocked, secretly hoping that Kang Peng would not be hot-headed to kill Emperor Xian and usurp the throne, at that time, Cao Cao could only be forced to call the emperor confrontation, plus Liu Bei, who dreamed of being the emperor, the land of China was really going to be divided into three countries. Fortunately, knowing that Liu Bei was wary, Kang Peng sent someone to Cao Cao to send a handwritten letter, stating his determination to die and not wanting to be the emperor, and also saying that he would never kill Emperor Xian, hoping that Cao Cao would not be impulsive and not divide the unified China.

After reading Kang Peng's handwritten letter, Cao Cao sighed to Guo Jiachang: "Even though Dong Thief is not a thief, he is the same as Lone, he really sincerely defends the unification of China and refuses to split China. ”

Guo Jia was silent, and sighed for a long time: "If we are not enemies with him, we will definitely be good friends." ”

The duel between Cao Cao, who has a blood edict, and Kang Peng, who holds the emperor, has become a gentleman's war, both sides want to destroy each other, but both sides tacitly do not want to split China, do not want compatriots to be enemies of each other, they would rather jointly play the banner of the Han Dynasty, rather than each claim to be the emperor and divide China into several countries, it can be said that Cao Cao and Kang Peng are real allies on the principle of the unification of China, and now the only one who wants to split China is only the person who wants to be the emperor from beginning to end, even if it is an emperor on the side of the peace - Liu Bei.

If you want to know what happened next, please see the next chapter, "The Assassination of Boss Dong", if you do too much injustice, you will kill yourself, and Kang Peng's retribution for hijacking the emperor is coming......
