Volume 1 The Beginning of the Late Han Dynasty Chapter 72 The Burning of the Golden Gate (1)

At five o'clock in the morning, the Prime Minister's Mansion

The maid of the Dong Mansion trembled and carefully knelt in front of the bed and called softly: "My lord! My lord...... Adult ......"

Dong Zhuo slowly opened his eyes, was woken up in his sleep, inexplicably annoyed, and scolded loudly: "Scream, scream...... Screaming ......" propped up his bloated body and kicked away a naked woman in his arms. The woman let out a low scream, her face twisted into a ball of pain, but she did not dare to shout, and only curled up in the corner of the bed.

The maidservant girl was so frightened that she lay on the ground, trembling, and said hurriedly: "Yulin Jun Zuolang asked Dong You to see your lord, something happened in the palace...... He waited in the lobby. ”

"Xuan!" Dong Zhuo was furious.

The maidservant did not dare to say anything more, but hurriedly bowed and hurried out. When he arrived at the lobby, Dong You was waiting anxiously, and when he saw the maidservant coming out, he asked anxiously, "How is it?" ”

The maid was slightly blessed and said, "General Xiang Guoxuan saw the inner room. ”

"The inner room?" Dong You frowned, hesitated, hesitated for a while, and hurried in.

"Meet Lord Xiangguo...... Dong You didn't dare to look directly at the bed as soon as he entered the inner room, and bowed deeply with his fists and said.

"What's going on in the palace?" Dong Zhuo didn't get up, only half-lying on the couch in his middle coat, frowned and asked.

Dong You said respectfully in a hurry: "Back to Xiangguo: Thieves have entered the palace, and my Yulin Army found out in time that the thieves have been killed...... He gritted his teeth and continued: "The jade seal of the country is gone......

"What?" Dong Zhuo sat up all of a sudden and shouted.

"The jade seal of the country is gone." Dong You was excited and repeated hurriedly.

"Okay, that's good...... Dong You, you are guarding the palace well......" Dong Zhuo sneered, his eyes were blazing, and he shouted loudly, "Someone!" ”

"Sanguni-sama!" Dong You heard the shouting, saw that the situation was not good, knelt on the ground with a thud, and shouted in panic, "Xiangguo spares his life, Xiangguo spares his life...... The villain will go back and find it now! ”

Several Xiliang armor soldiers rushed in and dragged Dong You out.

Dong You screamed, struggled vigorously, and shouted loudly: "Xiangguo, Xiangguo, for the sake of the villain who has followed Xiangguo for many years, spare the villain once......"

"Pull it out, cut it." Dong Zhuo's face was hideous, and he roared loudly, "Quickly call Li Ru to see me." ”

Not much.

Li Ru hurriedly entered the meeting hall of the Prime Minister's Mansion.

Dong Zhuo was already waiting there in his clothes, and when he saw Li Ru coming in, he hurriedly shouted: "Wenyou, a thief entered the palace last night and stole the jade seal of the country!" What can I do? ”

Li Ru's face also changed greatly, and said, "What is the specific situation?" Have the thieves ever been caught and left the palace? ”

Dong Zhuo was stunned for a moment and said, "I don't know." Fang was anxious, Dong You came to report that he was beheaded by the old man......"

Li Ru patted his thigh and said, "Uncle Yue is in a hurry, and there are few insiders ......."

Dong Zhuo also regretted it and said, "How about that?" ”

Li Ru pondered for a while and said, "Xiangguo, this matter should be done by the Kwantung thieves. From this point of view, the relocation of the capital to Chang'an is imminent, and it should be implemented urgently. ”

Dong Zhuotie said with a blushing face: "Wen You, that's what you said, that's it...... In this way, Wenyou, you take 10,000 iron horsemen to the palace quickly, search for it, find the jade seal, and ......"

Dong Zhuo grimaced his face and said with a rude smile: "Today, I burned those palaces, and drove the emperor dolls and those concubines and palace maids to Chang'an." Let's see if those courtiers go to Chang'an!"

Li Ru's face turned even paler, he sighed secretly, and said, "Oh! With that, he turned and walked out.

Dong Zhuo pondered for a moment, and shouted loudly: "Come on, order the subordinates to come to see me quickly." ”

When the account was in place, Dong Zhuo was not polite, and said directly: "Ladies and gentlemen, yesterday the old man of the court said that he would move the capital to Chang'an, and he intended to move slowly. Unexpectedly, the Kanto group of murderers was in a hurry, and they had already entered the palace last night. It can be seen that if you don't rush to go, there will be countless people who will transfer the gold beads and treasures, and countless officials and people will escape. ”

Li Dao, the subordinate of the tent, shouted: "Xiangguo, what do we need, just give the order." ”

Dong Zhuoyin said: "Today, we will drive the people and officials into Chang'an, without further ado, but there are procrastinators!" ”

The generals were awe-struck and said, "Oh! ”

Fan Chou said: "Prime Minister, today we are in a hurry to migrate, and there is not enough money and food. ”

Dong Zhuo sneered: "Don't worry about money and food. All wealthy households in Luoyang can be arrested in the name of 'anti-minister and anti-party', copy their family assets, and collect millions of dollars. ”

He smiled again and said, "Besides, the palace and the mausoleum are also saved for us, so let's go and take them all." ”

The generals were even more terrified, and then ecstatic, and they all shouted: "Excellent. ”

Dong Zhuo shouted: "In this case, let's go and announce it, and set off at noon today." ”

"Whoa!" The congregation will be dispersed.

……

The sky is faintly bright, the crescent moon like a hook is about to fall into the mountains, the first rays of morning light in the east reveal the sky, and the shadows of the surrounding scenery are about to be visible.

Li Ru had been ordered to lead more than 10,000 Xiliang iron horsemen to drive directly to the palace, and the palace guards did not dare to stop them, but they opened the city gate and followed the iron horsemen in and out wantonly.

Li Ru stood at the main gate of the palace, closed his eyes and said coldly: "Order: All palace concubines, palace maids, and all guards are in their own positions. The generals and I launched a carpet search from north to south, but there were unknown and random runners! ”

"Yes!" The generals behind him responded in unison, and the imposing horses galloped away.

Li Ru himself led his subordinates to the palace of Emperor Liu Xie, the Han Emperor of Ganquan Palace, and when he arrived at the palace, Li Ru turned over and dismounted, and hurriedly entered. Emperor Liu Xie of the Han Dynasty had already gotten up and sat in the main hall, his eyes were red, and he must have been crying for a long time. There were many chamberlains and palace maids on the side, and when they saw Li Ru coming in, they were all silent, and they hurriedly bowed to Li Ru, and they all retreated, not daring to say a word.

Li Ru bowed to the Han Emperor and said, "Your Majesty, can you find the jade seal of the country?" ”

Emperor Han shook his head, tears streaming down his eyes.

The old chamberlain on the side bowed down and said, "Lord Li, General Dong You got a thief a while ago, but unfortunately he was killed, and he didn't ask for any clues. In addition, the imperial study also got a thief, but unfortunately he also died. The jade seal is nowhere to be found......"

Li Ru glanced at the old chamberlain coldly, and then said: "The old servant quickly took the palace people to pack up their things, and left the palace to go to Chang'an in two hours!" The matter of the jade seal was handed over to Confucianism, and Confucianism went to find it. ”

"Chang'an ......" The old chamberlain shuddered, raised his head and secretly glanced at Li Ru, who was as cold as ice, and even glanced at the hugging Xiliang Jiashi behind Li Ru, and hurriedly bowed and replied: "Yes." ”

Emperor Liu Xie's tears were even more like rain, and he choked. The palace maids cried bitterly and fell to the ground. The old chamberlain glanced at Li Ru again in a panic, and hurriedly scolded: "Go quickly, go and clean up quickly!" ”

Suddenly, the entire Ganquan Palace was in a mess, crying endlessly, and the movement was non-stop. Countless seals, books, paintings, calligraphy, and ink treasures, rare treasures, and gold beads and satin were hurriedly loaded into dozens of carts under the command of the old chamberlain.

Li Ru stood indifferently and watched the palace people carry and load, but he secretly said in his heart: "Emperor, these two hours are Li Ru's respect for you, and you can only do it for two hours, I'm sorry." ”

After thinking about it, a team of Xiliang iron horsemen hurriedly came to report: "Lord Li, King Chen Liuwang of Yong'an Palace in Beigong is gone!"

Li Ru's heart was shocked, and he was horrified, sure enough, sure enough, I reminded Xiangguo last night. I didn't expect the energy of the Kwantung princes to be so huge. Who, who is it exactly? stole the jade seal of the heirloom country, and stole King Chen Liu. So, what does he want? Li Ru closed his eyes in pain. Xiangguo, take a look. See how others are doing it. What about you, are you still the ambitious one? Since entering this Luoyang, you have been greedy for enjoyment, unwilling to forge ahead, and tyrannical, and this good situation has been ruined by you. Let's go, the general trend is gone.

Who the hell is that man? How could it be so far-sighted?

Li Ru opened his eyes suddenly, and shouted loudly: "Order all armies to speed up the search." The herald gave each palace an hour to pack up their bodies. After an hour, all of them are out of the palace! ”

"Yes!"

Suddenly, the whole palace was in turmoil. The sound of crying shook the heavens and the earth; The chaos is more prosperous than the vegetable market. Look at this concubine, she was originally full of manners, but today she clapped her hands and feet, and her face was full of tears; Looking at that Niangniang, she was originally tranquil and warm, but on this day, she was carrying gold beads and holding brocade in her hands, and she only hated not having eight limbs and eight hands. The chamberlains and palace ladies all stuffed themselves into their arms. The sound of snatching, shouting and scolding, is endless; The sound of the wooden frame toppling and the sound of porcelain pottery bursting can be heard everywhere.

Seeing that the time had come, Li Ru arched his hand towards the Han Emperor and said, "Your Majesty, let's go." ”

Emperor Liu Xie of the Han Dynasty was already crying hoarsely, he suddenly stood up suddenly, and shouted in that hoarse and immature voice: "Is this how my Han is like this? Li Ru, Dong Zhuo, you will definitely die without a place to be buried. His eyes shot a look of hatred that contrasted so sharply with the immature face.

Li Ru smiled bitterly, arched his hand and said: "Your Majesty, it's okay to say this to Confucianism, don't be like this in front of Xiangguo." Let's go, let's go......"

The old chamberlain cried bitterly, knelt down, kowtowed three times to the Han Emperor, and shouted: "Your Majesty, don't talk nonsense, let's go, go to Chang'an." The old slave has served His Majesty for so long, and he has stayed in Luoyang for so long, so he will not go to Chang'an. Your Majesty, take care. ……”

He knelt down again and shouted, "Ladies and gentlemen, you must take care of Your Majesty." ”

After speaking, he saw that he gathered all the strength of his body and slammed into the palace pillar next to him. "Peng", the palace pillars trembled, red and white splashed, and the old chamberlain was already a promise to the country.

"Father!" Emperor Liu Xie of the Han Dynasty screamed miserably, and his eyes were split.

"Father!" All the palace maids knelt down in unison and wept bitterly.

Li Ru closed his eyes again.

When he opened his eyes, his eyes were filled with endless indifference and despair. "Go, go! Those who don't go! ”

Driven by thousands of Xiliang iron horsemen, countless concubines, eunuchs, and palace maids rushed out of the palace in several teams. The lucky ones have to carry a little bit of their own furniture; The unfortunate, with empty hands and thin clothes; They were all full of sadness, complaining, and crying. If there is a person who walks slowly, the Xiliang Iron rider behind him will rise and fall with his sword, and his head will be in a different place. All the way out of the palace, all the way was actually full of people and rivers of blood.

Li Ru left thousands of iron horses in the palace, and within an hour, the rare treasures, gold beads and brocades were all looted and loaded into the car. The parked vehicles in the palace have been from east to west, stretching for several miles, and you can't see the end in front or the tail.

"Set fire!" Li Ru said coldly.

"Set fire!"

"Set fire!"
