And state, Xihe County, Meiji County.

If there is anyone who is happiest about the appearance of the Yellow Turban Army, it is definitely Qiangqu, because he has always had an ambition, that is, to reproduce the martial arts of Maodun in the past, lead the Xiongnu to reign in the prairie again, and fight so that the Han Dynasty can't raise its head. It's just that the various battle situations that have come now have made Qiangqu completely unhappy.

"Alas, Taiping Dao, the Yellow Turban Army, after all, is just a rabble with few people." Qiang Qu shook his head and sighed as he looked at the information in his hand.

"Father! The child said that he should take the opportunity to cooperate with the Yellow Turban Army to cause an incident together, so it would be impossible for Li Yi to leave the state! Yu Fuluo on the side said with a little dissatisfaction.

It's just that Qiang Qu didn't have any anger at Yu Fuluo's dissatisfaction, he just looked at Yu Fuluo with a wry smile and said, "Silly son, do you think that the Han family's defeat of the Yellow Turban Army was just because Li Yi went?" Even if there is no Li Yi, the Yellow Turban Army is still not the opponent of the Han family. ”

Speaking of this, the bitterness on Qiang Qu's face became even stronger, "Now that the Xianbei people are rising, the Han family's rule over the world is still solid, if we jump out at this time, it will only make our Hu people completely disappear in this land!" As he spoke, Qiang Qu's face softened, and he looked at Yu Fuluo and smiled, "Child, Father is already old, and there is no way to fulfill this wish in this life, but you are still young, you can wait slowly." ”

"What if you can't wait?!" When Yu Fuluo heard this, he still asked angrily, but his tone had eased.

"Then let the children and grandchildren continue to wait!" Qiang Qu's tone suddenly became stern, "You should know that although the Han people accepted us, they have always only used us as a tool to deal with the Xianbei and Qiang people!" But now that the Hu people are weak, we have no choice but to wait for the opportunity! ”

"Then why don't you form an alliance with the Xianbei people?! Now the Xianbei people are not what they used to be, and if we cast our kindness, they will definitely accept it! Yu Fuluo said unwillingly.

"Hehe, what is the difference between the alliance with the Xianbei people and now under the command of the Han family? One is a tiger, the other is a hungry wolf......" Qiang Qu laughed dumbly when he heard this, and then waved his hand and said, "Okay, I'm tired, let's go down......"

"Huh!" Seeing this, Yu Fuluo stomped his feet helplessly, obviously very unwilling to Qiangqu's idea of seeking stability. It's a pity that as the king of Youxian, he does not have the right to decide the future fate of the Huns.

"If ......" Yu Fuluo, who walked out of the mansion, looked at the blue sky, and a terrible thought suddenly appeared in his heart.

Luoyang.

Jizhou, Yuzhou, Jingzhou, Qingzhou, Yanzhou, Xuzhou...... The uprising to suppress the Yellow Turban Army is still going on, and almost countless people die every day, but here, you don't feel the atmosphere of war at all, and in the city, although you can't talk about singing and dancing, everyone still lives their own lives, without any sense of tension.

Every day, there are still a large number of people going in and out of Luoyang City, and the imperial court doesn't seem to be worried about the thieves of the Yellow Turban Army mixing in at all? Of course, they will be worried, but from the Spirit Emperor Liu Hong to those scholars, they have only sent people to strengthen the inspection.

Zhang's house.

"Tsk~ I didn't expect King Ganling and King Anping to encounter such misfortune......" Zhang Rang looked at the letter in his hand, and said to King Anping's slave with some cruelty.

And when he heard this, the slave just knelt on the ground tremblingly, and did not dare to pit a word. Although he seems to represent King Anping, even if King Anping himself faces Zhang Rang, his tone has to be polite. After all, the vast majority of county kings in these years are lords who have neither power nor status.

However, what is more important is that at this time in a house in Luoyang, the blood stains have not been wiped off. Although Lu Zhi specially sent several guards to prevent the letter from falling into the hands of Zhang Rang and other eunuchs, it was still found at the city gate. As a result, these people were led to a certain mansion and killed, leaving only this man who claimed to be a servant of King Anping.

"This is an opportunity~" Zhang Rang stroked Jian Ce in his hand, and at the same time looked at the slave and thought in his heart, and immediately, he kept asking about the situation in Guangzong City and the situation of Lu Zhijun. How dare the slave not answer this? After asking, Zhang Rang closed his eyes and pondered for a long time, then looked at the servant and said sharply, "When I see Your Majesty tomorrow, I will do as I say!" ”

"Yes!"

The next day, when the slave told Guangzong about the situation and Zhang Jiao's request, he immediately aroused the wrath of the Manchu scholars. And the Spirit Emperor Liu Hong even threw the tea bowl of the dragon case in front of him.

There was no way, they couldn't help but be angry, although Liu Zhong, the king of Naganling, and Liu Xu, the king of Anping, were just county kings who were nameless and protected by their ancestors. But no matter what, they are all descendants of the Liu family, the real king surnamed Liu! And now, the two kings surnamed Liu have been used by a group of thieves to blackmail the imperial court, which is simply a great shame!

"Bastard! Darn! Won't they hang themselves?! The dignified county king was captured by thieves, it was simply ...... It's a shame on the ancestors! Liu Hong roared angrily, "Pass the order!" All the county officials in Ganling County and Anping County have been arrested by me, and I want to copy them from the nine clans! ”

If he could, Liu Hong would obviously want to kill Liu Zhong and Liu Xu the most now, but unfortunately, as relatives of the Han family, Liu Hong couldn't give this kind of order at all, and he couldn't even pretend not to know! Because in the mouth of this slave, if the court did not send someone to ransom him, that Zhang Jiao would spread this matter all over the world, and stripped Liu Zhong and the others naked and hung them on the city wall......

It sounds like the only result of doing this seems to be just a loss of face for the court, is the court reluctant to lose face at all? Especially in Lu Zhi's sparseness, he also elaborated on the stakes of this matter in great detail. Therefore, many scholars and doctors jumped out one after another, begging Liu Hong to ignore Zhang Jiao's unreasonable demands.

It's just that these people do not include He Jin, Sangong and many other bigwigs, but only some scholars and doctors with low official rank are performing. This is not because they want to save the face of the imperial court, but because they know that it is impossible for Liu Hong not to agree.

The reason is also very simple, Liu Hong was selected from the descendants of the princes and kings to inherit the throne, if he is not saved this time, God knows what those princes and kings will think and do. Although Liu Xiu also continued the Tui'en order of Emperor Liu Che of the Han Dynasty after the establishment of the Eastern Han Dynasty, even so, did those princes and kings really have no strength at all? Apparently impossible!

And if a large number of princes and kings are dissatisfied because of this, will these scholars and doctors in the court still be loyal to themselves? Can his son still sit firmly on the throne? This is obviously a problem that Liu Hong has to consider.
