"What is the danger of the country's peace?"

Liu Hong frowned, waved his robe and stood up, after a while, and then sat down.

"Thieves from all directions rose up together, plundering the prefecture and county. Today, the Central Plains is in great trouble, and the people are in dire straits, doesn't Your Majesty know? The calamities are all due to the ten permanent servants selling officials and harming the people, and bullying the king. Everyone in the court is gone, and the disaster is now. Liu Tao mourned.

After Zhang Rang and the others heard this, they were shocked, and hurriedly took off their hats, knelt beside Liu Hong, and said: "There is a slight disaster in the Central Plains this year, and officials from all over the country are calmly providing disaster relief, and they dare not bother Your Majesty. The ministers are incompatible, and we cannot live, so we are willing to return to the fields and use our families as much as we can to fund the military. ”

After that, the eunuchs wept bitterly.

"You also have close servants, why can't you tolerate me?" Liu Hong was furious, and said to Liu Tao: "For the sake of the emperor's brother, you will not be guilty of the crime." Come and push out the court. ”

Yulin Wei came out on the left and right, pulled Liu Tao up, and wanted to push him out.

Because Liu Tao was an old minister of the clan, Yu Linwei didn't dare to push too hard, and was struggled out by Liu Tao.

"I have a letter, please look at it Your Majesty, and then decide to take the old minister. The world is suffering, and those who hear the urgency of the matter cannot speak up, and those who have pain in their hearts cannot slow down. Liu Tao took out a book from his arms and handed it to Liu Hong.

He didn't know what the consequences would be if he handed over the cantata?

The situation of the country is like a dangerous situation, how can we be afraid of eunuchs and clever words?

The feeling of worry is like the pain of the axe, how can you care about your own safety and say it slowly?

What the result will be, I can't care about it! The most important thing is that the Qing monarch is on the side, except for the eunuchs.

The waiter took it and turned to Liu Hong.

"If Your Majesty does not hesitate, even if the general has the merit of returning to heaven, he will not be able to do it. The Holy King sees and hears the eyes and ears of the world, so he can hear everything! Your Majesty, please...... Smell it! ”

Liu Tao knelt on the ground again and shouted.

Liu Hong ignored him, opened the letter, and watched carefully.

Under the eyes, Liu Hong's face changed, but he became silent this time.

He passed the letter to Zhang Rang and the others to see what they wanted to say.

"Since Your Majesty ascended the throne, we have been conscientiously assisting Your Majesty, how can we have two hearts?"

Zhang Rang knelt on the ground, and after reading the letter, his face turned pale, and turned from a hundred to blue, the green tendons on his forehead burst out, and his fists were clenched tightly. Face against the ground.

Liu Tao not only once again bitterly stated the evils of the times, but also pointed the sharp edge of criticism at the small Xiaoxiao that brought disaster to the country and the people.

The whole letter seems to be expounding a sentence: "The chaos in the world is all caused by the eunuchs."

For a long time, no one spoke.

Liu Hong didn't say anything, and no one in the courtiers dared to speak.

"Before the yellow scarf got up last year, he promised to take credit, suspecting that Liu Tao was in love with the thief!"

Zhang Rang raised his head slightly and said to Liu Hong, who was angry.

"Someone, put Liu Tao in the Huangmen North Temple Prison." Liu Hong gritted his teeth and ordered.

"The minister does not hesitate to die, and he pity the world's surname. The Han Dynasty has been around for more than 400 years, and once it has been rested. ”

Liu Tao's face was painful and he sighed.

Back then, he was arrogant, but the Son of Heaven did not accept it. Afterwards, he was made a marquis.

I didn't expect to attract the disaster of the axe! The even more absurd result is that the reason why the eunuchs slandered Liu Tao was that he collaborated with the enemy.

And not only was the Son of Heaven named Tao a marquis because of this, but he was convinced.

"Believe" and "don't believe", "believe" and "don't believe", the Son of Heaven chooses this way, is he mediocre?

As soon as Liu Hong's voice fell, the ministers were in a commotion.

Cui Lie, Chun Yujia, Zhou Yi, Zhou Zhong, Lu Zhi, Tian Feng, Fu Xie and other ministers hurriedly stood up to intercede for Liu Tao.

"Yun He, a vassal in front of the imperial court? Today, he is against the evil accusations, and he hates not to be in the same domain as Yi and Lu, but to take Sanren as his generation. With that, he slammed his head on the ground.

Yu Linwei pulled him, but he couldn't pull it up.

Yu Linwei felt that something was wrong, and when he sniffed, he didn't move.

A generation of loyal ministers actually held their breath and died.

Liu Tao wanted to be a generation of famous ministers who revived the Han family like Yi Yin and Lu Shang, but he didn't expect to die unjustly and could only be a loyal minister with unpaid ambitions.

He is like Weizi, Jizi, and Bigan who are famous in later generations and have no success in the present generation, but in the end he can only interpret a historical tragedy of "death by law, death by force".

This sentence shows that Liu Tao still hates even though he is dead.

"If you die before your majesty, is it not unjust for your majesty." Zhang Rang pointed to Liu Tao's corpse and scolded viciously.

"Thick burial!"

After Liu Hong saw it, he had no strength in his whole body and lay on his back on the couch.

"Slow, Liu Tao governs the country, has many meritorious deeds, and posthumously named him the Marquis of Zhongling."

Liu Hong can only use "posthumous marquis" to make up for the guilt in his heart.

But how can the name of "Marquis of Zhongling" appease the hearts of the people in the world, and how can he save the people in troubled times.

Chasing officials and marquises, how can they compare to the thoughts of all the people and praise them for eternity?

The loyal ministers wept for it.

Just like the edict that Liu Tao wrote to Liu Hong back then.

"If a minister dares to spit out the righteousness of the time in the dynasty of slander, it will be destroyed like frost and sun. The ministers were sad about the world, and today they are also sad about the foolishness of the ministers. ”

This sentence jumped out of Liu Hong's messy mind.

Isn't it sad that the ice and snow are pure and melt in the end?

Wen is dead, and martial arts are fighting to the death.

Wear herbs for clothing, and silk autumn orchid for wearing; Picking magnolia in the morning, picking Su Mang at dusk; Dining chrysanthemums drink morning dew, and do not break the temperament with the world.

The king of Chu was mediocre, Qu Zi repeatedly admonished, but the world was dark, the eunuch river was deep, Qu Zikong had a warm blood, he had no choice but to serve the country, he was slandered by faith, loyal and suspicious, and finally walked to Miluo with the idea of "American politics" in despair and grief.

Liu Tao did not hesitate to lose his life and made his will clear with death. How similar to Qu Yuan.

He learned the policy of helping the world and the people, not admiring glory and wealth, and not seeking fame and fortune.

Liu Hong suddenly thought of something, and he took out the recital that Liu Fan had written for him. Look at the last column.

"The heavens will descend on the people themselves, work the mind, and work the body. The minister is ambitious. Practice swords, guns, swords, halberds, axes, hooks and forks, seek to arrange troops, command troops and learn from them, just to serve the country with loyalty. The great general shed blood on the battlefield, and it should be. Dying for the country is a generation of heroes. Everything of the ministers is to comfort His Majesty's heart. The Han family is full of Yin Mountain, and they don't send Hu'er back to the horse, and they are willing to serve the country often, so why should they be born into Yanmen Pass. ”

Liu Fan regards being brave and loyal, and dying on the battlefield as the highest state of a general.

The Confucian idea of the highest loyalty to the monarch is vividly embodied.

Ban Chao has been in the Western Regions for more than 30 years, and when he was old, he returned to his hometown and wrote a book: "The minister does not dare to look at Jiuquan County, but he wishes to be born into Yumen Pass."

Liu Fan's heart to serve the country is even more straightforward. I don't want to be born into the Guyan Gate!

"Retreat!"

Pinching the recital written by Liu Fan, Liu Hong's hands trembled.

With the support of the waiter, he left sadly.

In the Dragon Palace, Liu Hong ordered all the eunuchs and palace maids, including Zhang Rang, to retreat.

"Liu Tao, you died in front of my majesty, became a good name for thousands of years, and set an example for all generations. And I, however, have been infamous through the ages. ”

After speaking, Liu Hong lay on the dragon bed and cried. It's hard to get away with it for a while.

"If there are no eunuchs, how can I get the throne? If there are no eunuchs, how can I fight against the powerful of the family? How could I not know? ”
