Volume 2 The Yellow Turban Rebellion Chapter 77 Zhang Rang threw himself into the river, and Dong Zhuo welcomed the emperor
"You all think that we have deceived Your Majesty! Do you know Your Majesty's hardships?! Zhang Rang pointed to the ministers in front of him and roared angrily: "Your Majesty inherited the unification after the year, but the power was lost, and in desperation, Your Majesty thought of using our strength to fight against your relatives!" ”
"When Your Majesty is helpless, what can you do? Yes? ”
Under Zhang Rang's reprimand, the ministers were speechless. How many ministers are trying to protect their official positions? Seeing a world-famous Confucian being involved in the struggle between relatives and eunuchs, shattered to pieces, and even implicated a family, how many ministers dare to come forward?
"Humph!" Min Gong snorted angrily: "It sounds good, why did you wait for the disaster in the township, when you were tyrannical and expropriating? ”
"Haha... Why? Hahaha..."Zhang Rang's face was crazy and said: "If it weren't for the fact that the people of the family have exploited the people of the Han Dynasty like this, what is the use of us making a small fuss?" ”
Zhao Zhong was also angry when he heard Min Gong say this, and took Zhang Rang's words and said: "The people of the Han Dynasty are not bored, we are His Majesty's close ministers, and we do have an unshirkable responsibility!" However, what did the descendants of the ministers of the court do? And what about the people? The world has its own discerning people! ”
When Min Gong heard this, he was speechless, and he had heard about some of the things his nephews did in the township, but he didn't take it to heart. However, accumulating day by day, to such a situation, it is not the wish of the ministers of the current court. But facts are facts, and Min Gong is unwilling to defend himself.
The argument was fruitless, but Cai Yong, who was coerced together, stood up and said: "The people are embarrassed, whether it is our fault or not, this result is because of our burden!" It's just that Zhang Changshi shouldn't have plotted to kill the general, let alone kidnapped His Majesty to flee Luoyang, how could he escape from such a big crime? Cai Yong said with a look of pity.
"The matter has come to this, I hope that Zhang Chang will remember the friendship of the first emperor, and let His Majesty return to Luoyang Weiyang Palace in peace, so as not to make it difficult for the first emperor to look down under Jiuquan!"
After Cai Yong finished speaking, not only Min Gong and other ministers stopped talking, but Zhang Rang, Zhao Zhong and others also stopped arguing and bowed their heads and remained silent.
"The world has come to an end, and the human heart is even more different. Chase in the snobbery, power competition boasting. Zhang Rang Yangtian sighed and chanted poetry lightly. It seems that he is sighing at the cold state of the world. Cai Yong, who likes poetry, changed his face slightly, and he never thought that the eunuch who was spurned by thousands of people would have such a mood and such a literary style!
"Ah Zhong!" Zhang Rang lightly lifted the reins of the horse, turned to Zhao Zhong and said: "Whether we are sinful or not, we will no longer exist in the world in the future, bitter!" Bitter! ”
"Huh! Who can be all under heaven? Zhao Zhong smiled, although he looked miserable, he felt relieved and said: "In this case, instead of letting the so-called family abuse our bodies, it is better for us to find our own burial ground!" ”
"It's still Ah Zhong who understands Jean!" Zhang Rang looked at Zhao Zhong, and there was still a little nostalgia in his eyes.
Min Gong, Lu Zhi, Cai Yong and others can also hear the will to die from the dialogue between the two. The crowd did not dissuade them too much, and for Zhang Rang and others, perhaps understanding by themselves is the best result. However, there are some doubts in everyone's hearts, is it really worth it?
"Your Majesty cherishes!" After Zhang Rang waved at Liu Bian, he reined the horse, headed towards the Yellow River, waved his whip, and galloped away. "Hahaha..." Seeing this, Zhao Zhong and the others laughed even more, followed Zhang Rang's pace, and rode their horses towards the roaring Yellow River. The water of the Yellow River is rushing non-stop; From top to bottom, it is even more galloping and rumbling. Dozens of people plunged headlong into the water of the Yellow River, without making the slightest splash, and in the blink of an eye, they were submerged by the rushing river and no one was seen.
For some reason, seeing Zhang Rang like this, Liu Bian actually looked a little reluctant, and raised his hand as if he wanted to stop Zhang Rang and the others. After raising his hand, Liu Yan didn't know how to speak, so he had to watch Zhang Rang and the others disappear in front of him. Cai Yong, Lu Zhi and others are also relatives in their hearts and sigh.
The remaining hundreds of guards were not only at a loss at this time, but also terrified in their hearts, not knowing what to do.
"You don't have to worry, this time it's all Zhang Rang and others, and it has nothing to do with you!" Lu Zhi was worried that the army's morale was unstable, so he spoke out to appease everyone: "You only need to escort Your Majesty back to the palace safely, it is still a great achievement!" ”
"No!" When the guards heard this, they felt a lot more relieved, don't think about the reward, as long as they are not held accountable this time, it is a great luck.
In order to be safe, Lu Zhi led Liu Bian, Liu Xie and a group of ministers to dare to go south under the starry night, intending to return to Luoyang Weiyang Palace as soon as possible. Along the way, there were constantly people and warriors and powerful people in the DPRK and China who came to take over the news. The team, which was originally less than 1,000 people, had more than 2,000 people when they arrived at the bank of the Yang Canal. Although there were not too many soldiers and horses, it did make Liu Bian and the ministers feel a lot more at ease.
"Boom..."Before everyone could cross the river, there was a deafening sound of horses' hooves from the west. Hurry up! Min Gong shouted anxiously, and urgently ordered the few personal guards to protect Liu Bian. And Lu Zhi also rode his horse and stood in front of the battle, preparing to confront the soldiers and horses who didn't know where.
"It's the Shaodi frame ahead?" When the soldiers and horses arrived, the strong man leading the troops in front asked loudly.
Lu Zhi took a look and found that this person was Dong Zhuo. Dong Zhuo has made a lot of achievements this year, and he is also very famous in the DPRK, and Min Gong and others also know it.
"Your Majesty is already safe, just wait for the troops to retreat quickly!" Min Gong didn't know what the soldiers and horses who came meant it, and his face was a little dark, and he shouted at the army. After Min Gong drank, the soldiers and horses that were originally moving slowly stopped for a while, and Dong Zhuo, who was the leader, drove to Liu Fan's frame with dozens of guards, turned over and dismounted, knelt on one knee and clenched his fists and bowed his head: "Liangzhou Mu Dong Zhuo, come to pick up the car when you hear the news!" The minister's rescue is late, please punish Your Majesty! ”
I don't know if Dong Zhuo is because of his age, or if he enjoys it too well, he has been a little pot-bellied and rich in a few months. Jiazhi's original face was a little reckless, and he rushed to Liu Bian in a hurry, making Liu Bian, who was already frightened, tremble. On the other hand, Liu Xie on the side stepped forward to help Dong Zhuo instead of Liu Wei and said: "Dong Zhoumu has worked hard, Your Majesty is a little frightened, this king has thanked Your Majesty!" ”
When Dong Zhuo heard this, he raised his head, looked at Liu Xie, then turned his head to look at Liu Xian, and sighed secretly in his heart: This person is the Young Emperor? It's not as good as Chen Liuwang Liu Xie? Although he was puzzled in his heart, Dong Zhuo's face did not show it. With Liu Xie's support, he got up and said: "The minister is Your Majesty's courtier, and the rescue is within the bounds, and it is not hard!" ”
"Dong. Dong Zhoumu is hard! Seeing Liu Xie's performance, Liu Yan came back to his senses, came to Dong Zhuo and Liu Xie, and said a little cowardly.
"Dong Zhuo greets Your Majesty!" Dong Zhuo saw Liu Yan step forward, knelt down again and saluted. "Aiqing is exempt!" Seeing that Dong Zhuo was so humble, Liu Zhi was no longer afraid of his slightly terrifying face, and reached out to help Dong Zhuo up.
"Since Dong Zhoumu has seen that His Majesty is safe, he also asks Zhoumu to withdraw from Xiliang immediately!" Min Gong stepped forward again, looking at Dong Zhuo with a very dark face, and said in a deep voice.
"Humph! Who are you? How dare you command me? Dong Zhuo got up, recalled Jia Xu's explanation on the way, and his face became a little fierce: "Benzhou Mu heard that Weiyang Palace was in turmoil, Your Majesty was in danger, and the whole army traveled hundreds of miles to rescue the driver in the starry night, but I couldn't see Your Majesty return to the palace safely, how can I leave?" ”
On the way, Jia Xu once explained that he must be fierce to the ministers of the DPRK and China, and force the ministers with thousands of soldiers and horses, and enter the Weiyang Palace, so as to set up Luoyang power in his hands and look down on the world. Jia Xu is not a soft-hearted person, it is rare to control the court organically, how could Dong Zhuo let it go so easily? Not to mention that he is just acting fierce, even if he needs to kill people, Dong Zhuo will not have any hesitation.
Min Gong was in a hurry, the relatives and eunuchs on His Majesty's side were finally cleared out, how could His Majesty be allowed to enter the tiger's mouth again? He was ready to speak again: "Dong Zhuo, how can you..."
"Humph!" Dong Zhuo pulled out the long sword at his waist, his face became a little grim, and said: "Wait for a Confucian scholar, what if there are still people with bad intentions on the way?" The Honshu Pastor has been conquest of foreign tribes all year round and suppressed the rebels, so that he can safely escort His Majesty back to the palace! ”
Min Gong wanted to speak again, but was gently pulled by Lu Zhi behind him, Min Gong turned his head and looked at Lu Zhi suspiciously. Seeing Lu Zhi shaking his head, and seeing the long sword in Dong Zhuo's hand again, he thought for a moment in his heart, retreated fiercely, and said no more depressedly. Seeing this, Dong Zhuo snorted secretly in his heart, the corners of his mouth slightly curled up and inserted the long sword into the scabbard, and he hugged his fist again to Liu Wei and said, "Your Majesty is frightened, the hour is not early." The minister sent His Majesty back to Beijing! ”
"So it's hard Dong Zhoumu!" Liu Zhuo was really startled by Dong Zhuo drawing his sword, and when he saw Dong Zhuo looking at him again, he responded to Dong Zhuo with a dodgy look.
After Dong Zhuo received the order, he didn't say more, and immediately ordered the whole army to protect Liu Wei and others to dare to go to Luoyang.
Northern Regions, Five Plains.
"My lord, it's not good! As the lord expected, there was a big change in the palace! Xi Zhong took the information in his hand, regardless of etiquette, and rushed into Xiang Ao's study in a hurry and shouted. The guard on duty at the gate was Jiao Meng, and he had seen a lot of recklessness from time to time, and after glancing at Xi Zhong, he didn't bother to stop him.
"How has it changed?" When Xiang Ao heard this, his heart tightened, and he hurriedly asked.
"A few days ago, Luoyang sent a letter that He Jin had gotten rid of Jian Shuo, and at the suggestion of Yuan Shao, a lieutenant of the Chinese Military Academy, was ready to take action against Zhang Rang and others. And I don't know why Zhang Rang learned the news again, and secretly plotted to advance! Xi Zhong explained the matter very briefly and quickly.
When Xiang Ao heard this, his face was extremely embarrassed, and he asked again: "But what kind of foreign army is stupid?" ”
"Dong Zhuo!" Xi Zhong's face turned dark, and he replied in a deep voice.
"Dong Zhuo!?" Xiang Ao stood up suddenly, and after thinking for a while, he sighed weakly and said, "The wood is already in the boat!" The wood is already in the boat! ”
"Before, Alu handed over all the information that Dong Zhuo could collect to me, and after I thought about it comprehensively... Hey..."Xiang Ao was depressed in his heart, and it was difficult to speak again.
"How?" Seeing Xiang Ao pause, Xi Zhong was even more anxious, and he completely ignored the etiquette.
"This person seems to be polite and courteous, but in fact he has a violent personality, and he is extremely powerful and lustful, and it is estimated that the DPRK and China will not be at peace!" Xiang Ao knelt down and sighed.
"And what about us?"
"Ah Meng, recruit Hu Chang, Xu Yushi and other Cao Peng to come to discuss the matter!" Xiang Ao did not reply to Xi Zhong, and commanded Jiao Meng outside the door.
"No!" Jiao Meng received the order and left quickly.
