Chapter 657: Dawn
It was the second half of the night, the lights in the Nangong hall were bright, the Son of Heaven Liu Xie, Liu Yu, Yang Biao, Xuan Fan and other courtiers were all there, such a big event happened, how could these important ministers still sleep, they all came to this Nangong hall.
However, there were still some important ministers, such as Shang Shu Ling Xun Yu, Tingwei Zhong Xuan, and Bao Xin, the middle candidate of the Northern Army, who did not come.
Bang!
Liu Xie's face was pale, he slapped his palm on the desk, and shouted angrily: "I have always said that Guan Yu is loyal and righteous, and I don't want this husband to dare to ignore the edict, I am really bold and reckless, and I am too much to be bullied!" ”
Wu Shuo cried on the ground: "Yulin Zhonglang will guard the center, he is a major general of the imperial court, Guan Yu is good at killing the general of the imperial court, and he also captures the Yulin sergeant, he should be arrested and asked questions quickly, otherwise the court will not be able to shake up, and His Majesty's prestige will not exist!" ”
His nephew was killed by Guan Yu as soon as he became the general of Yulin, which can be described as happy and sad, and he was angry and hateful in his heart, and at this time he tried his best to arrest Guan Yu by the Son of Heaven.
Wu Shuo's words were exactly what Liu Xie wanted, and he shouted: "Pass the edict and ...... Guan Yu"
"Your Majesty!" On the side, Liu Yu hurriedly stopped Liu Xie, and said in a low voice: "Your Majesty, Guan Yu is in charge of the tiger, Zhang Fei is in charge of the division, and the two of them are like brothers and brothers with Liu Xuande, the three of them advance and retreat together, and the soldiers and horses in charge are not weaker than the uncle, it is better to appease, otherwise the consequences will be unimaginable......
When Liu Xie heard this, his complexion changed greatly, and he couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat, and he suddenly discovered that after Yulin was out of control, Liu Bei, Guan Yu and Zhang Fei, the soldiers and horses in charge of the three of them had already overpowered Dong Cheng, if these three people had ill intentions, the consequences would ......
What kind of threat is this?
Liu Xie was a little uneasy in his heart, he took a deep breath, looked at Liu Yu, and asked in a somewhat uncertain whisper: "I respect Liu Xuande as the emperor's uncle, and he is the clan's relative, so he won't harm me, right?" ”
Liu Yu groaned: "Liu Xuande has a benevolent temperament and a good reputation, so naturally he will not harm His Majesty, but he can't force Guan Yu too much. ”
Liu Xie nodded helplessly, at this time he suddenly found that although Zhang Liao's mountain was pressed on top of his head, it also sheltered him from the wind and rain, if Zhang Liao was there, he would not worry about Liu Bei and these princes at all, as soon as he thought of this, Liu Xie's heart flashed a trace of remorse, but then this remorse disappeared, replaced by a stronger desire for military power, otherwise he would always be subject to others.
His father, Emperor Ling, was known as the Emperor of Faintness, and he had a reputation for being greedy for money, lustful, and absurd, but Liu Xie understood that Emperor Ling had absolute control over the army and the Ten Standing Servants from beginning to end, and the Eighth Army of Xiyuan and He Jin were all under the orders of Emperor Ling, and if Emperor Lingdi did not die, the world would not fall apart. And Liu Xie thinks that he is no worse than his father, what he lacks is just an opportunity.
However, what Liu Xie doesn't understand is that if you want to move to the mountain above your head, you must have the ability to protect yourself, otherwise you can only plot slowly, just as Emperor Ling was afraid of the general He Jin controlling the military power of the world after the Yellow Turban was pacified, so he added the Eighth Army of the West Garden to check and balance, rather than directly eradicating He Jin, if the Emperor Ling did not die, the Eighth Army of the West Garden would definitely become a powerful army of the Son of Heaven.
At this time, Liu Yu said in a low voice: "Your Majesty, there are rumors outside that the Empress Dao is doing witchcraft, and I don't know Your Majesty's ......."
When Liu Yu said this, he was shocked, and he didn't dare to ask any more, he realized that he seemed to have overstepped, but the queen's matter was related to the country, and he couldn't ask more.
Yang Biao and the others on the side also heard Liu Yu's inquiry, and their eyes couldn't help but look over.
Liu Xie glanced at Liu Yu, his heart was angry, but his expression remained unchanged, and he said lightly: "Taifu is the pillar of the country, don't believe me, but believe in the words of the assassin?" ”
Cold sweat broke out on Liu Yu's forehead, and he hurriedly said, "The minister doesn't dare." ”
But some courtiers in the main hall noticed the abnormality, although the young Son of Heaven was very calm, but the queen was killed, how could he be calm without the slightest sadness? Obviously, there is something strange in it, but no one dares to ask more at this time.
At this time, a messenger came to report: "General Wei and Guangluxun Liu Bei ask to see Your Majesty." ”
Liu Xie's heart trembled, his face changed slightly, he subconsciously glanced at Liu Yu, saw Liu Yu nodded, his heart was slightly fixed, and said, "Pass in." ”
As soon as Liu Bei entered the main hall, he bowed to the ground: "Minister Liu Bei came to ask for sin." ”
Liu Xie saw his posture, and secretly breathed a sigh of relief, it seems that Liu Bei still respects the Son of Heaven, his confidence is slightly stronger, and he said lightly: "What is the crime of Uncle Huang?" ”
Liu Bei didn't look up either: "The younger brother Guan Yu took the assassin, and Yulin Zhonglang competed for Wu Kun for credit, and was killed by his younger brother by mistake......"
Liu Xie's chest was sullen, the version he heard was not this.
Wu Shuo on the side said sharply: "What nonsense! It is clear that Guan Yu colluded with the assassin and killed my brother, dare to ask where the assassin is! ”
Liu Bei sighed, and said earnestly: "Captain Wu, the death of my brother is not what I want, but it is dark outside, and it is raining rain, it is difficult to see the five fingers when you stretch out your hand, and you can't tell the enemy from me three steps away. ”
Wu Shuo was so angry that he wanted to vomit blood, but Liu Xie was speechless.
……
At dawn, the rainstorm that had fallen overnight was finally much lighter.
In the hussar general's mansion, Dong Cheng didn't sleep all night, his eyes were bloodshot, but he was in high spirits.
It has been more than half the night since he learned the news of Queen Fu's death, but Dong Cheng has not yet recovered from the joy, he already knows about the assassin's escape, but he doesn't care at all, the key is that Queen Fu is dead, and his daughter Dong Guiren is pregnant with a dragon seed, and it is inevitable that she will be on the throne!
This good news was enough to overwhelm everything, and he was not so anxious about the fact that the General's Mansion did not reply to the letter overnight.
However, at this time, it was already midday, if it wasn't cloudy, the sky should have already brightened, and Dong Chao, who attacked the General's Mansion, had not come back yet, Dong Cheng felt that something was wrong.
It's just that he can't understand that Zhang Liao left, and there doesn't seem to be any guards in the General's Mansion, and it was a night attack in the rain, and it was launched suddenly, it should be very smooth, why hasn't there been any news yet?
In addition, there is also the West Garden, there are no fortifications in the West Garden, Han Hao's reputation is mediocre, and he is not a fierce general, Wang Fu and the three of them raided overnight with five or six thousand people, if it is enough to calm down, there should be good news back.
As soon as Dong Cheng frowned, someone outside came to report: "Captain Wang is here to see." ”
Dong Cheng was overjoyed in his heart, and immediately asked, "How is he doing?" Are there any injuries? ”
The subordinate said: "Captain Wang is not injured, but he looks a little tired." ”
Very good! Dong Cheng was overjoyed: "Come in!" ”
It seems that there is no problem with Wang Fu's side, and it may even be that the soldiers are not bloody, if Han Hao's army is reorganized, then he will be more sure of controlling the imperial court, and he will not even need Cao Cao to deal with Zhang Liao.
As soon as he thought of this, Dong Cheng couldn't help but be grateful for the rainstorm last night, if it weren't for this rainstorm, it would not be so easy to act last night.
Of course, Dong Cheng should also be grateful to Zhang Liao in his heart, in his opinion, Zhang Liao has so many generals, but he used an unknown Han Hao to sit in Beijing, and Han Hao was actually a general of Sinong Zhonglang before, and the farmer turned out to be the middle guard! It seems that Zhang Liao is not so capable in employing people, and he is also so lost, otherwise if a general like Zhao Yun, Xu Rong, and Zhang He is in charge, he may not dare to move lightly.
Soon, Wang Fu came in.
Dong Cheng didn't wait for Wang to salute, so he couldn't wait to ask, "How?" Can you take down Han Hao? ”
Wang Fu's voice was heavy: "No." ”
Dong Cheng's expression changed suddenly, and he said angrily: "Could it be that you have lost the battle?" You led 6,000 soldiers and horses to attack at night, how could you not break Han Hao, an unknown person! ”
Wang Fu said in a deep voice: "If this is not the case, when I arrived in the West Garden, the West Garden was empty, and the last general was worried that Han Hao would attack Luoyang in turn, so he rushed back with his troops overnight. ”
There was no loss of soldiers, Dong Cheng's heart was first relieved, and then a pink, and the West Garden was empty? !
His expression changed again, how could he be empty? Where did Han Hao go?
It's dawn now, and there's no way he's going to attack Luoyang, so where will he go? Could it be that he knew that Zhang Liao's situation in Yuzhou was critical, and secretly went to Yuzhou to support Zhang Liao or Zang Ba?
When Dong Cheng's face changed, suddenly a person outside stumbled in: "General, it's not good!" Backyard...... Backyard ......"
Dong Cheng saw that the slave's face was pale, as if he was greatly frightened, and he also sighed in his heart, and snorted: "I don't know how to measure, and I can't say anything, what's wrong with the backyard?" ”
