Liu Hong leaned on the cushion, his chapped lips kept opening and closing, like a fish dying and struggling on the shore, and every time he breathed, he felt a little out of breath.

Liu Hong felt very tired, in this more than an hour, he wanted to close his eyes and rest countless times, even if it was only for a moment, but he didn't dare, he tried his best not to close his eyes, he was afraid that he would never be able to open his eyes again.

There will be a sound of weapons colliding outside from time to time, but it is not intense, it should be done, Liu Hong knows that Ye Zhao's martial arts are good, but there are eight hundred forbidden troops in this Changle Palace, Ye Zhao can't do it with one to block a thousand, right?

Such a talent, but was strangled by himself, which made Liu Hong a little regretful, originally, he was going to leave Ye Zhao to Liu Xie, Ye Zhao is brave and strategic, if he is willing to assist Liu Xie, the Han can save some vitality no matter what.

It's a pity that Liu Hong found that this idea was a bit wishful thinking, he found that Ye Zhao's ambition was too late, the road he had paved for Liu Xie before had become a losing move, an ambitious and not loyal to the Han Ye Zhao was by no means something that Liu Xie could control as a child, keeping him would only accelerate the Han to extinction, so he had to die!

This is also the reason why Liu Hong changed his heir to Liu Wei, because he no longer had time to pave a new way for Liu Xie.

The sound of fighting outside the hall soon disappeared, Liu Hong breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, it was impossible for Ye Zhao to lead troops into the palace, otherwise it would not be just such a little fighting, which meant that Qian Shuo had succeeded, but he waited for a long time, but he didn't see Qian Shuo come back to his life, and the uneasiness in his heart suddenly became more and more intense, but he couldn't think of what Ye Zhao had the ability to turn around?

"Pedal Pedal ~"

The footsteps were unusually clear in the silent palace, Liu Hong struggled to prop himself up, and shouted into the air: "Shuo, is it you?" ”

"Shuo Gong is busy with military affairs, and he has no time to resign to His Majesty, so I hereby ask the ministers to pass on to Your Majesty." A familiar voice sounded in the hall, but it wasn't Qian Shuo.

The voice was strong and powerful, dispelling a little of the gloomy atmosphere in the hall, but the moment Liu Hong heard this voice, his face turned pale, and he felt that his hands and feet were cold, and his pupils began to dilate.

"Ye ~ Zhao ~" Liu Hong seemed to use all his strength to shout out these two words.

"Minister...... See Your Majesty! Ye Zhao's figure finally appeared in front of Liu Hong, looking at Liu Hong who seemed to be dying and decrepit, Ye Zhao sighed, knelt on one knee, and saluted Liu Hong.

"Good! Ha ha! Good! Liu Hong looked at Ye Zhao, and suddenly laughed nervously: "I should have thought that thousands of troops and horses would not be able to defeat Ye Qing, and there were only eight hundred guards, how could I kill Ye Qing!" ”

"The minister asked himself that he had not done anything disloyal to His Majesty, and he had always been loyal to His Majesty, how did he make His Majesty murderous?" Ye Zhao stood up, looked at Liu Hong and asked in a deep voice, this is also something he can't understand until now, so good, why did Liu Hong destroy the Great Wall and kill him? With the current situation in Luoyang, if he wants Liu Xie to succeed to the throne, he must rely on himself, and there is no reason to kill himself.

"The king wants his ministers to die, and the ministers are not dead and disloyal!" Liu Hong glared at Ye Zhao and said, "Since Ye Qing appeared here, how can he still say that he is loyal?" ”

"That's just the words of Confucianism!" Ye Zhao laughed and said: "The minister wants to say that the king treats me as a countryman, and I should repay him as a countryman!" Now His Majesty wants to kill the minister, no matter what the reason, the minister doesn't want to die so unclear. ”

"You dare to say that you are loyal to me and have no selfish intentions!?" Liu Hong looked at Ye Zhao and said.

"If you are selfless, why do ministers need to be officials, life in the world, what you want is nothing more than fame and fortune, don't say that you are ministers, looking at the past and today, how many people dare to say that they have no selfishness in their lives?" Ye Zhao looked at Liu Hong and said, "The minister just wants to know, what made His Majesty have murderous thoughts against the minister?" ”

"Does it make sense to say this now?" Liu Hong leaned on the bed, looked at the top of his head in distraction, and said astringently: "I don't want the 400-year-old foundation of the Han Dynasty to be destroyed by me today, and I am ashamed of my ancestors." ”

Ye Zhao frowned and looked at Liu Hong, but did not ask again, at this time, Liu Hong didn't want to say, he couldn't pry Liu Hong's mouth open, he glanced at Liu Hong deeply, Ye Zhao turned around and walked towards the outside of the hall.

"You don't kill me?" Liu Hong looked at Ye Zhao's back and sneered.

"The name of killing the king, the minister doesn't want to recite it, but Your Majesty has a word that is not wrong, the four hundred years of the Han Dynasty's foundation, almost, it should come to an end, but it is not destroyed in the hands of my Ye Zhao, nor is it you, the trend of the times, whether it is Your Majesty or the minister, it is impossible to change his life against the sky, the minister has made some plans, it is all imaginary after the collapse of the Han Dynasty, how the minister should deal with himself, no matter why His Majesty has murderous thoughts on the minister, the matter has come to this, the reason, it is no longer important, the minister is here, just want to see His Majesty for the last time, you and I are the love of the monarch and the minister, so far, Huangquan is far away, and the ministers can't send it far. Ye Zhao turned around and bowed to Liu Hong again.

"I ......" Liu Hong looked at Ye Zhao with a somewhat complicated gaze, opened his mouth and said, "There is one more thing I want to beg you." ”

"Your Majesty, please speak." Ye Zhao didn't care about any inappropriate words, the matter had come to this, and his grievances with the royal family were almost over.

"Don't let Wei'er know about this, if possible, I beg you to protect a trace of my Han family's blood." Liu Hong looked at Ye Zhao and said: "Shuo has two copies of my edict in his hand, one is to defend as the emperor, and the other is the edict of the emperor to establish the association, Ye Qing can take it himself, if he thinks that he can assist the two, Ye Qing can decide for himself." ”

"Your Majesty still wants to give it to me at this time?" Ye Zhao looked at Liu Hong and suddenly smiled, a little helplessly.

"Why did you say that?" Liu Hong's breathing stagnated for a moment, and he looked at Ye Zhaodao.

"Ye still has self-knowledge, with Ye's background, this support is not Ye Mou's turn to receive it, no matter which prince succeeds to the throne, Ye Mou will become the enemy of the world's conquest, but the Han will also be torn apart because of this, how much does Your Majesty hate the ministers, and would rather exchange the Han country for the destruction of the ministers?" Ye Zhao looked at Liu Hong, shook his head in disappointment and said: "It's a pity, although the minister is from a poor family, he still has some wisdom, such a strategy, Your Majesty should find someone else to use it." ”

"Don't you want to know why I killed you?" A look of disappointment flashed in Liu Hong's eyes, and he looked at Ye Zhaodao.

"Chancellor really wants to know." Ye Zhao nodded, he was really curious.

"In the beginning, I always regarded you as a loyal minister!" Liu Hong looked at Ye Zhao and said hesitantly: "Printing can indeed change the current pattern and have an impact on the family!" However, why should I bear the wrath of the corporal of this world!? ”

Ye Zhao looked at Liu Hong, frowned, and said, "The minister is just offering a plan, but the minister doesn't want to die." ”

"In the past, Shang Ying changed the law, only then did he have the momentum of strengthening Qin, if you really are my Han, why not follow the example of Shang Ying, do you know, I have today, it can be said that it is all because of your printing technology, now I am destined for a single day, the power of the Qing is tilted towards the government and the opposition, I am dead, maybe I will leave a reputation for eternity, and you Ye Zhao, or you can live for a hundred years, should I kill you!?" Liu Hong looked at Ye Zhao and hissed.

"The minister once told His Majesty about the risks of this matter." Ye Zhao frowned.

"Ha~" Liu Hong laughed and said: "I heard that you are good at calculating people's hearts, but now that I think about it, I am afraid that you have already calculated my mind clearly, right?" ”

Ye Zhao was silent when he heard this, he really saw Liu Hong's temperament, such a big benefit, Liu Hong would not fake others, when he first offered advice, although he said the risk, but it also led Liu Hong to promote this matter, and it was indeed a use of Liu Hong, resulting in the popularization of books now, and it is difficult for scholars to control it.

"Do you know why I'm telling you this?" Liu Hong looked at Ye Zhao and suddenly smiled.

"I don't know." Ye Zhao shook his head.

"Now that the situation is chaotic, the scholars, He Butcher and you Ye Zhao have become a big trend, I hope you can fight among themselves, so, this name of killing the king, I hope you will come!" Liu Hong looked at Ye Zhao and smiled.

"Procrastinating?" Ye Zhao looked at Liu Hong and suddenly smiled: "Your Majesty may have already notified He Jin to come and escort him?" ”

"Why are you laughing?" Liu Hong looked at Ye Zhao, and suddenly felt a little inexplicably flustered in his heart.

"Your Majesty, sometimes, you are too naïve, since the minister is good at calculation, how can the minister not think of this step?" Ye Zhao looked at Liu Hong and said with a smile: "The minister didn't bring a soldier to the palace, don't say that Your Majesty is not killed, even if he is killed, the name of killing the monarch will not fall on the head of the minister, since He Jin is coming, give him the name of killing the king." ”

"You ......" Liu Hong looked at Ye Zhao, and wanted to ask him how he could see him since he didn't bring a single soldier, but then his face changed, and he said sadly: "Beigong Wei!?" These sluts! ”

"Don't underestimate women." Ye Zhao shook his head and strode out, leaving only Liu Hong's hysterical roar echoing in the hall.

"Lord!" Out of the main hall, Ren Hongchang handed over the two edicts to Ye Zhao: "This is from Qian Shuo's body, please take a look." ”

"Ye Zhao, what happened to Your Majesty!?" Qian Shuo struggled to grab Ye Zhao's robe, and roared bitterly: "This is the crime of killing the king, do you want to be killed all over the house?" ”

Ye Zhao took the two edicts, frowned and thought for a moment, but did not destroy them, but put them away directly, although he was not going to use this thing, but it was a big bargaining chip, as long as it was used properly, it could bring greater benefits to himself.

"Newspaper~"

A palace guard rushed in, looking at the scene in front of him, and couldn't help but be stunned.

"What?" Ye Zhao asked.

"Back to Captain Madu, there is chaos in the city, and the general He Jin has led troops to call the door outside the palace!" The Praetorian Guard bowed.

"Don't panic, the general came to greet His Majesty, open the door and let them in!" Ye Zhao said calmly.

"Whoa!" The Praetorian said yes, turned and left.

"Lord, I'll escort you out of the palace!" Ren Hongchang bowed to Ye Zhao and said.

"No need, I'm free to get out!" Ye Zhao shook his head and said, "You immediately lead the Beigong guards to protect the Queen Mother and the Empress, and send someone to inform Zhang to let them beg for protection if they want to live." ”

"But the main public security ......is in danger," Ren Hongchang hesitated.

"It is you who should be careful, Luoyang is already a place of right and wrong, you should set up camp and defend yourself, if it is not necessary, try not to clash with other armies, wait for my news." Ye Zhao took a deep breath, there was already footsteps in the distance, Ye Zhao didn't pay attention to Qian Shuo, who climbed into the palace with a roll, and went straight in the direction where the footsteps came from.
