Chapter 28: The Great Waves of History (3)
The firelight of the bronze lamppost burned quietly in the dormitory, occasionally the sound of the door being pushed open, the candle flame swaying, the footsteps walked in softly, that was a graceful figure, there were palace people who wanted to report, and she waved her hand to press down, just looking at the ten figures led by Zhang Rang over there crawling on the ground, in the curtain of the dragon couch, the thin arm was weakly raised and put down, and the thin figure was lying there, and the voice sounded weakly.
ββ¦β¦ I don't really want to be this emperor...... I'm just a fun-loving person... can't take on the big responsibility, but the people of the Dou family... Forcing me to sit... If you don't sit, you can't do it... Dead people...... I was only twelve years old that year, and I didn't understand anything, so I sat down......"
In the curtain, the emperor who was in the prime of life, his eyes were deep-set, and he didn't have much brilliance, his gray lips trembled slightly, he spoke intermittently, recalled some memories, and a trace of ruddy appeared on his thin and pale face.
ββ¦ At the age of fifteen... There is a queen, she is really beautiful...... It's a pity that her temperament is a little bad...... Gradually, I annoyed her...... Five years later, I finally died....In the past 20 years, I am most sorry for her......"
This emperor, at first was just the heir to the throne chosen by the general Dou Wu and his son Dou Miao, who was only twelve years old, ushered in the first coup d'Γ©tat in August after the succession, and the Dou clan was exterminated by the eunuchs, and three years later, the Song clan was established as the queen, and finally abolished by him and died in the violent room.
During his twenty-year reign, he did many wrong things, rebellions in various places, and harsh taxes, and it turned out that he was indeed not a good emperor, nor was he a good father.
The quiet dormitory, the low sobbing, the quiet figure on the dragon couch, froze for a long time, and finally moved again, raised his face slightly, he opened his eyes weakly, and his voice was low and simple.
"Father... I'm going to die......"
Below, the gray-haired eunuch crawled on the ground with tears and came to the bed, holding his withered hand, and his voice choked: "Your Majesty... The slave is here. β
Liu Hong grabbed his hand vigorously, his lips moved, and he tried his best to make a final sound: "After me... Stand... Stand... Prince... The Prince..."
"Your Majestyβ" Suddenly, a female voice shouted out sadly, and the slender and graceful figure that rushed in was none other than the queen He who had come in before.
When she came to the couch and snatched the emperor's hand, Liu Hong was suddenly interrupted, startled, and glared angrily at the woman who was crying with pear blossoms and rain, and the moment the green tendons bulged out on her neck, her mouth opened widely, "Ah! With a thud, the traces of life were withdrawn from him.
The raised hand hung limply.
"Your Majestyβ"
The cry sounded in the hall, Zhang Rang, Zhao Zhong and others howled and cried, beating the ground, and Jian Shuo, who was already the captain of the Eighth School of the West Garden, had tears on his face, gritted his teeth and looked at the woman lying on the dragon's body, clenching his fists.
In the middle of April of the sixth year of Zhongping, Liu Hong died in the Jiade Hall of Nangong, and he did not say who was the heir to the throne until his death, that is, Liu Wei, the eldest son of the emperor, as the emperor.
The wind swept over the tail of spring, the tender green branches deepened, and in the summer of May, I knew that I broke the ground and climbed up the green trees and cried.
A figure walked out of the general's mansion, the figure was slender and majestic, quite majestic, this person walked out of the He Mansion, the sun poured down, shining on his face, the color was like Shen Yu, just stepped on the horse, a voice sounded behind him: "Yuan Benchu What kind of plan did he have, he was in a hurry to leave." β
The man named Yuan Shao turned around, and not far away, a figure walked over with his hands behind his back, with a joke on the corner of his mouth, and patted the horse's buttocks, "All the way?" β
Yuan Shao arched his hand, took the reins in his hand and led the horse: "Meng De, what is this looking for me?" β
"Knowingly asked." Cao Cao raised his finger and pointed at the other party, looked at the bustling crowd in the street market in the distance, was silent for a moment, and spoke: "What is the general's plan?" β
Over there, the figure leading the horse turned his head, smiled, looked back ahead, and became sharp: "The general is suspicious, and it has been fruitless to sum up with everyone for many days, but recently he has made some determinations. β
"Oh?" Cao Cao made a gesture of please, "Go on, Cao also wants to hear it." β
Yuan Shao paused slightly, continued to walk again, and lowered his voice: "Summoning the former general Dong Zhuo to settle in Shanglin Yuan, Taishan Wang Kuang, Dongjun Taishou Qiaomao, and Bingzhou Assassin Shi Ding Yuan to enter Beijing." β
Here, Cao Cao's hands were folded, his expression became serious, a pair of thin eyes suddenly closed, and the figure leading the horse stopped in surprise and waited for him, and after someone else passed, he opened his eyes and looked at Yuan Shao, and his voice sounded slowly.
"At the beginning, this was not messy enough, Wang Kuang and Qiao Mao were mediocre people, Ding Yuan was rough and brave, but he was not rude. But Naxi Liang Dong Zhuo, I heard that his temperament is tyrannical and cruel, and his subordinates are all brave and good at fighting, and now the emperor is young, and there are hidden dangers in the palace, and it is inappropriate to invite evil wolves at this time. β
Yuan Shao was silent for a moment: "Meng De doesn't know that the eunuch guards the five battalions of the forbidden army, and he wants to abolish the establishment, how can he not be in a hurry?" β
"That can also be slowly figured out, how can it add fuel to the fire." Here, the argument grew louder.
"I won't argue with you, I'll see when I come." When Yuan Shao said this, he said goodbye, pulled the reins and turned to leave.
People came and went on the street, the sun spread overhead, Cao Cao sighed, looked at the back of the crowd passing by, and stomped angrily: "The name of Han, you are waiting for the death!" β
β¦β¦
The long wind blows thousands of miles.
Right Beiping, the news of Emperor Liu Hong's death is still on the way, and the first rain of summer is coming down here.
In the lead-colored rain curtain, the heavy rain fell on the lighted tent, and the general in armor and white fur collar who sat behind the desk in the middle of the table looked through the handwriting on the cloth under the oil lamp, his eyes were full of approval, and he nodded slightly.
Outside the tent, the sound of footsteps stepping on the sound of stagnant water reached the tent entrance, and then the tent curtain was lifted, and a man with a handful of beard on his chin came in with rainwater and arched his hand: "Big brother, are you looking for a brother?" β
Gongsun Chan beckoned him to sit down, then got up and handed the cloth over.
That person was Gongsun Zhan's younger brother, Gongsun Yue, he looked at it a few times, and looked up in dismay: "But it was ...... a few years ago Sister-in-law... She sold ......"
In the big tent, the walking figure waved his hand to interrupt him: "Yes, when Xu'er came back to talk to me about this that day, he had doubts in his heart, so he asked someone to inquire over there in Yanmen County... My son is good...... It's too much like me. β
"What does the big brother mean......"
Above, Gongsun Zhan sneered and bared his teeth, smashed his fist on the case, and his eyes were fierce: "What is Lu Bu, how can the people of my Gongsun family be bullied, and provoke a thousand horses from my private soldiers, and you will personally hand them over to my son." β
"Yesβ"
Gongsun Yue clenched his fists and got up.
****************************************
The heavy rain fell over the eaves, forming a beaded curtain and making a loud noise.
On the Gongsun Mansion, a woman's lazy voice sounded behind the screen: "Guan Changshi, the matter is done." β
"Some people have already been bribed, and they will look for an opportunity to do it when the time comes," the figure on the opposite side was about fifty, with a white face and a short beard, flattering and flattering: "Or the lady's eyes are like torches, this matter will be foolproof." β
Behind the screen, the woman laughed coquettishly, the figure turned and walked out, and Guan Jing hurriedly bowed down and looked down. Liu looked at the rain curtain hanging on the eaves outside the door, without the kindness of the past, "The Huns can't kill him, this time I'll do it myself, let this go with his mother to be a companion." β
Guan Jing sighed secretly and buried his head lower.
