73, Chen Liuwang

On August 27, Zhang Rang, Duan Qi and others, who had been guarding the North Palace for a whole day, saw that they were isolated and helpless, and the offensives launched by the Yuan brothers outside the palace were wave after wave, becoming more and more fierce and fierce.

Because in order to conceal their whereabouts and identities, Zhang Rang, Duan Qi and others did not dare to let the only remaining ministers in the North Palace accompany them, nor did they dare to carry any palace treasures that revealed their identities, and in the panic, even the emperor's jade seal forgot to bring it, so they were wrapped in the chaotic crowd of refugees and mixed out of Luoyang City.

After leaving the city of Luoyang, the eunuchs who were already like frightened birds did not dare to make the slightest stop near Luoyang, and because Mengjin, which was closer to Luoyang, had been occupied by Ding Yuan's Bingzhou soldiers and horses, they did not dare to throw themselves into the net and go to the ferry, but chose to flee to Xiaopingjin, intending to cross the river and flee to Hanoi.

It's a pity that their whereabouts were still discovered by Shangshu Lu Zhi and Peng Mingong in central Henan, and the two chased the eunuchs all the way with the guests, and finally intercepted the eunuchs who wanted to cross the river without a boat and the kidnapped Son of Heaven, Chen Liuwang and others on the side of the big river.

Now that the eunuchs have lost their position, saving the Son of Heaven is a matter of saving the driver, Min Gong naturally will not be polite to these eunuchs who have lost power, he rushed forward boldly, slashed and killed several eunuchs, and scolded loudly:

"If you don't die quickly, I will kill you!"

Zhang Rang and the others were shocked, frightened, and desperate, so they could only kowtow to the Son of Heaven to say goodbye, "The minister is waiting for death, Your Majesty loves himself!" Then under the persecution of Lu Zhi, Min Gong and others, he committed suicide by throwing himself into the river.

Seeing that all the eunuchs who had been in power for a while were wiped out, Min Gong and Lu Zhi, who had taken the lead in saving the driver, hurriedly escorted the Son of Heaven and King Chen Liu, and walked south back to Luoyang, because there were no horses, they could only temporarily requisition the open car without a canopy in ordinary people's homes on the road, and carried the frightened Son of Heaven and King Chen Liu, to the house in the northern suburbs of Luoyang.

The house is a post station outside the city of Luoyang, on weekdays responsible for receiving officials and messengers who enter and leave the capital, the Son of Heaven, Chen Liuwang and everyone then rested in the house outside the city, and waited until after dawn, and then rushed to the city again.

At this time, the Son of Heaven was finally able to ride the horses in the house instead of riding the humble open car, and the guests of Min Gong led the horses in front of them. And because King Chen Liuwang was still young, for safety, Min Gong rode the same horse with him. Lu Zhi and others had already sent people to the city at night to report that the Son of Heaven was fine, and although the city had not yet completely settled down, there were also court ministers who heard the wind one after another to meet them.

Among them, there is naturally Dong Zhuo and his party, who are strong and powerful.

Dong Zhuo set off from the garrison with soldiers and horses, and after arriving at Xianyang Yuan, he had already learned from the people who fled along the way that the general He Jin in the city was killed and the general situation of the Yuan brothers' attack on the palace, and after getting the important news that the Son of Heaven had fled outside the city, Dong Zhuo made a quick decision, while sending people to the city to contact Dong Min and others, and on the other hand, he sent scouts to inquire about the whereabouts of the Son of Heaven outside the city.

Soon, the news of the Son of Heaven coming to the house came back, so Dong Zhuo also worked tirelessly and personally led the troops to the north of the city to meet the Son of Heaven.

Nowadays, the ministers of the court who have just experienced the war shortage can be said to have seen the change in the color of the soldiers, and when they saw Dong Zhuo leading the troops from the sky, suddenly appeared in the north of the city, and also came to snatch the rescue work, the ministers of the court immediately became the same enemy, and they all scolded Dong Zhuo as a foreign general, and led the troops into Beijing without an edict, so as not to disturb the Son of Heaven, and asked Dong Zhuo, a martial artist, to withdraw from the army.

Dong Zhuo was held by a soldier and ran around overnight, but he was able to catch up with the rescue of the driver, but when he was on the rise, but before he had time to see the driver, he was reprimanded by the ministers of these courts, he was originally an arrogant and domineering general, where can he swallow this bad breath, he was also unceremoniously, and directly sneered at these ministers of the court and China:

"The public is the minister of the country, and he can't correct the royal family, so that the country is sown, why should there be soldiers!"

After speaking, Dong Zhuo made a look, and suddenly a group of deep-eyed and high-nosed Hu people viciously stepped forward to separate the court's central ministers, and Dong Zhuo straightened his clothes and armor, and took Li Ru and a few people to come forward to meet the Son of Heaven.

Successfully greeted the Son of Heaven, and with the soldiers and horses in his hands to control the Son of Heaven in his own hands, Dong Zhuo was secretly proud in his heart, he quietly sent people to separate Min Gong and Chen Liuwang, and then Chen Liuwang hugged his own red rabbit horse, and rode with himself, the attendant was next to the Son of Heaven's mount, surrounded by their own soldiers and horses, like the stars and the moon, the Son of Heaven, Chen Liuwang, Dong Zhuo and others arched up, and set off again to rush to Luoyang City.

The brothers of the Yuan family in the city were also anxious about the chaos in the city at this time, they did not hesitate to kill people, and after storming the North Palace, they found that these cunning eunuchs had taken the Son of Heaven hostage and pretended to be civilians, and they had to hide their whereabouts and slipped away in advance, so they had to lead the troops to sweep away the eunuchs in the palace, and on the other hand, they sent people to inquire about the whereabouts of the Son of Heaven. have steadily overwhelmed their own foreign soldiers and horses.

The two brothers of the Yuan family, who fought hard for several days and nights, made their faces haggard, and did not have the image of a pampered noble son in the past, looked at each other, although they had many gaps on weekdays, and these days it was completely because of the safety of the old and young of the clan that they reluctantly came together to work together, but now they had to stand on the same front again, because they felt a strong pressure from outside.

When Yuan Shu saw Dong Zhuo and Chen Liuwang riding together, and the attendants were beside the Son of Heaven, his face suddenly darkened, his expression was quite gloomy, and he glanced at Yuan Shao deeply, and then turned his eyes back to Dong Zhuo in the crowd, the light in his eyes kept flashing, and he didn't know what he was thinking in his heart.

And although Yuan Shao frowned when he saw that Dong Zhuo's soldiers and horses had faintly controlled the Son of Heaven and King Chen Liu, he quickly stretched out, straightened out his clothes and armor stained with a lot of blood, and prepared to come forward to meet the Son of Heaven.

Dong Zhuo's entry into Beijing was also proposed by him, although He Jin is dead now, he can barely be regarded as half an ally. Although Dong Zhuo entered Beijing without an edict and controlled the Son of Heaven, he already had a faint tendency to come from behind and fight against himself, but he had just killed the eunuch without an edict, and even his brother set fire to the palace gate, which affected half of the South Palace.

If these charges are pursued together, they are also enough for the Yuan family to exterminate the clan.

Therefore, it is not suitable to tear his face with Dong Zhuo at the moment, on the contrary, he must marry him, wait until his family and his uncle stabilize the chaotic situation in the court, and then slowly squeeze out Dong Zhuo, a martial artist.

Dong Zhuo had already come from behind at this time, and he no longer cared about the faces of the Yuan family brothers, and directly waved his hand and began to dispatch troops, in the name of "the rebellion in the city has not yet been pacified, and the Son of Heaven must not be guarded by loyal and brave people", in the palace and at the city gates.

The Yuan brothers were subservient, and the chaos in Luoyang City really needed to be pacified as soon as possible with the help of Dong Zhuo's men, so they had to acquiesce to Dong Zhuo's arrangement, and after Dong Zhuo escorted the Son of Heaven and King Chen Liuwang back to the palace, he personally rode a horse and led the troops to inspect the important places in the city guarded by various troops. At dusk, he took Li Ru, Fan Chou and a group of people and horses to withdraw from Yongmen and rush to Xianyang Garden outside the city.

Li Ru followed Dong Zhuo in the city all day today, waiting for this time to have a gap to ride a horse to get close to Dong Zhuo's side and have a private conversation, he looked at Dong Zhuo's face hidden by the thick beard, his heart moved, and he whispered to Dong Zhuo:

"Lord, just-"

Before Li Ru finished speaking, Dong Zhuo had already waved his big hand, signaling him not to speak for the time being. Dong Zhuo sat on the horse, looked back at the towering Luoyang Imperial City behind him, glanced at Li Ru again, patted the saddle under his crotch with deep meaning, and laughed a few times with his head raised to the sky, as if the things that had been painstakingly planned for the past few months now have an eyebrow.

"Go back to Xianyang Garden first!"

Dong Zhuo raised his whip and pointed at the royal garden on the outskirts of the city, worked hard, let out a burst of heroic laughter, and left with many of his men.
