Chapter 43: Advice to the Soldiers (II)
"Ahem, cough, cough ......" The long convoy walked in the direction of the palace late at night, but the one led by kept hearing a low coughing sound. Seeing so many people entering the palace late at night, they all waited for the palace at the palace gate, and they didn't dare to be sloppy. The general guarding the gate shouted loudly: "Stop, Your Majesty has rested, if there is anything, please come back tomorrow." ”
A person got down from the carriage at the head, holding a seal and shouting upward: "I am Cao Poshi, the captain of the Xiao Cavalry, Shang Shuling Lord and all the regular attendants want to enter the palace to urgently play Your Majesty's important affairs and open the city gate!" ”
A few people in the city put down the hanging baskets, put them away under the torches, and it was really the seal of the high-ranking officials such as the captain of the Xiao Cavalry and Shang Shuling, and everyone looked at each other, but from the city a person walked up and ordered: "Open the city gate and let them in." ”
When everyone saw it, it was Jian Shuo, and everyone was his cronies, so they had to give up their hands and obey orders.
The palace door slowly opened, and Cao Jie lay in the car with his eyes closed, he tried his best to hold back his cough, and his rough breathing was like a broken bellows. Cao Jie said that he knew the body, and he naturally knew that he could already feel the time to know the destiny of heaven. The medicine stone was powerless for him. Death doesn't know when it will come quietly. Cao Jie was not afraid, looking back at his life, in the second year of Yanxi (159), Emperor Huan secretly exterminated his relatives Liang to show his prominence, and in the first year of Jianning (168), because of the merit of welcoming Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty, he was named a townsman, and then he entered the car to ride the general, and the glory was extreme. In the Han Dynasty, in addition to the generals, the military ranks were the highest among the chariot generals. And the general will not be appointed when he is not in a special situation. Cao Jie commanded the entire army of the Han Dynasty as a eunuch, what a scenery this is!
Cao Jie has no regrets in this life, and now ...... He was old, but he would do what he said, the carriage stopped, Cao Poshi poked his head in, and called cautiously: "Big brother, we are here." You're still waiting for you. ”
Cao Jie opened his tired eyes, and he couldn't close them permanently now.
"Carry me up." Cao Jie commanded lightly.
Several little yellow doormen lifted Cao Jie up the steps, Cao Jie beckoned them to stop, Cao Jie stubbornly got up, refused to accept anyone's support, held a cane in one hand, covered his mouth with a handkerchief in the other, dragged his sick body, and walked into Liu Hong's dormitory with difficulty.
Liu Hong was also urgently served, only wearing a coat on his body, and sat in front of the hall with a displeased face.
"The old slave Cao Jie has something important to do, disturbing the dragon body, the crime deserves death, cough cough cough ......" Cao Jie knelt on the ground and coughed anxiously before he finished speaking.
Liu Hong looked at the courtiers who assisted him on the throne in the past, but he was already sick, and he couldn't bear some sympathy in his heart, and ordered: "Didn't the Marquis of Chang'an recuperate in the mansion?" Zhang Rang is still stunned for what to do, don't hurry up and sit down! ”
Cao Jie was helped to the seat after thanking him, and Cao Jie took out a notebook from his sleeve that had been prepared half a year ago and said: "Your Majesty, although the old slave has been ill for a long time, the old slave has to report this matter to Your Majesty in person late at night!" ”
The servants also bowed and said: "Shang Shuling told the Lord about this, the slaves and maids did not dare to make a decision, so please ask Your Majesty to judge!" ”
Zhang Rang took the notebook, and he didn't dare to peek at it privately, so he raised his hands high and presented it to Liu Hong. Liu Hong took a look, his eyes immediately widened angrily, and after reading it, he was even more angry and directly tore the recital in half, struggled on the ground, walked back and forth angrily, and shouted in his mouth: "Thief!" Thief! Is this how my confidant treats my trust? ”
Liu Hong swept his hands in front of the table, sweeping pens, inkstones, paper, ink and other things all over the ground, but at this time no one dared to touch the emperor's moldy head, except for Cao Jie, who closed his eyes and waited for Liu Hong to vent, everyone else bowed to the ground, and did not dare to raise their heads to say that His Majesty was angry.
"Jian Shuo, Jian Shuo!" Liu Hong shouted the sharpest "sword" in his hand.
Jian Shuo outside the door was already in full formation, walked in with his whole body draped, and half-knelt on the ground and gave a military salute to Liu Hong: "Your Majesty, the slave is guarding the dormitory today, and please give your Majesty an order!" ”
"You go, go in person, and arrest Situ Liu He, Yongle Shaofu Chen Qiu, infantry captain Liu Na, and Wei Wei Yangqiu, don't get away with anyone, you want to see people alive, and you want to see corpses when you die. I'm going to interrogate it myself! Liu Hong was like an injured and angry tiger king, throwing the tiger talisman directly to Jian Shuo, and his whole person was already on the verge of outburst.
"No!" Jian Shuo didn't ask a word, picked up the tiger talisman and saluted directly, and after a while, the tiger army in the palace was ready to come out.
Luoyang City began to see blood again......
It's late, I'm sorry, let's make up and take a look first, and make up for it later during the day~
