In the sixth year of Zhongping, specifically in May 189 AD, in the early spring season, the night was still a little cool.

Rebellion after rebellion, army use again and again, and the treasury, which was finally restored, was empty again. The military salary of the Eighth School of the West Park could not even be paid, and the soldiers were already complaining. At this time, it only takes Yuan Valve to ascend and shout, and it is difficult to say what radical things they will do.

Liu Hong sat in the open space outside the hall like this, looking at the starry sky decadently. At this moment, he has a pot of wine and some dried squid by his side, this thing is from Jiangnan, it is very good for drinking, and the key is quite cheap.

"Father, did you say I did something wrong?" Liu Hong filled another wine glass with wine, and then pushed it to Zhang Rang.

Zhang Rang hesitated for a moment, and finally bowed, then picked up the wine glass and drank it carefully. After following Emperor Han for a long time, he knew very well that at this time, he really needed someone to drink with him! To this end, he has dismissed all the guards and the Yellow Gate!

"Your Majesty, you don't know your heart!" Zhang Rang said slowly.

People always have private feelings, eunuchs have no possibility of inheritance, Zhang Rang can only pin his power and wealth, only in this way can his lacked self-esteem be filled. On this basis, he was the only existence that the Han Emperor could trust. Everything that can be there today is given by the Han Emperor, and it is because he adheres to the last principle, that is, to be loyal to the Han Emperor!

Zhao Zhong swelled up from the beginning of the killing of Liang Ji, and finally secretly made contact with Yuan Valve. Zhang Rang knew this, just out of self-preservation, and did not expose it, or it was useless to expose it, and the result would not change anything.

Jian Shuo, yes, he is also a yellow door promoted from the bottom, but he has no brains. This kind of person is easily misled and then taken advantage of, and if it weren't for His Majesty, no one would have been available, and he would not have been made a military captain.

Yuan Shao, Chun Yuqiong and Xia Mu were all given quotas to Yuan Valve, the purpose was to keep Yuan Valve's excessive actions, anyway, in Liu Hong's opinion, he only needed to control the other four captains, so he had the ability to compete with Yuan Valve.

Feng Fang is Cao Jie's son-in-law, and he can be regarded as his person, but he just became the right lieutenant of the auxiliary army, but he reached a marriage with Yuan Valve, and his daughter married Yuan Shu as his wife, and obviously began to move towards Yuan Valve's side.

Bao Hong has a greedy personality and is very easy to control, but he himself is a wall grass, Liu Hong can be wooed, Yuan Valve can also be wooed, and he is also an unstable factor.

The remaining two people, Zhao Rong and Cao Cao, can be regarded as his people, especially Cao Cao, who volunteered to serve as a military captain, and he also has the meaning of loyalty. It's just that now that the other party has four captains in their hands, Zhao Rong and Cao Cao may remain neutral at a critical moment, relying only on a brainless man, Liu Hong only feels that he has no sense of security at all, let alone Bao Hong.

The eighth lieutenant of the West Garden, which was finally established, turned out to be a wedding dress for Yuan Valve, in addition to the five schools of the Northern Army, at least four schools of people were added to Yuan Valve, if Yuan Valve really wanted to rebel, then I was afraid that I could really only lead the neck and be killed.

"Captain Cao has always been loyal, at a critical moment, maybe he can come forward?" Zhang Rang comforted tentatively.

"Cao Cao is indeed loyal, but the Cao family does not dare to be an enemy of Yuan Valve. Father, my life should not be long! Liu Hong sat down on the stairs dejectedly, and then suddenly picked up the wine glass and wiped it out.

"Your Majesty, don't give up!" Zhang Rang thought about it carefully, "Dong Zhuo, the assassin of Liangzhou, is also our person!" No matter how bad it is, there are Changsha Taishou and Huiji Taishou! ”

Dong Zhuo...... Dong Zhuo is the queen mother's family in the end, and the queen mother hopes that Xie'er will ascend the throne, and it is not a day or two. Besides, you think I don't know, Dong Zhuo's ambition is actually not small, he plans to be the second Dou Wu! Liu Hong snorted coldly, "However, I can't do anything to him......"

Changsha and Huiji County are too far away from Luoyang, and if something really happens, they can't rush here. Besides, Xin Bi and Yuan Valve are close, and Li Ming is obviously an ambitious guy.

Liu Hong drank wine under the night sky all night and fell ill the next day. This disease came very quickly, and even Liu Hong didn't expect it, only knowing that his body deteriorated rapidly in three days, and it was slowly a problem to even get out of bed.

"It's been found out...... "In front of no one's hospital bed, Zhang Rang cried out bitterly, "It's poison, a kind of chronicity, Your Majesty has this kind of poison in his body, at least three years!" It's been three years, why hasn't the imperial doctor found out?! ”

"They want me dead, how can they find out?" After Liu Hong knew the truth, he saw it instead. What if you don't look away? At this point, he had no other choice!

"The slave maid spent a thousand guan and exchanged it for an antidote pill, Your Majesty is ......" Zhang Rang took out a pill in a panic, but it was a pill sold privately by Li Ming, there were very few on the market, and each one was very precious.

"A Thousand Runs...... Ahem...... It seems that Li Ming's guy has made a lot of money again......" Liu Hong didn't know where this antidote pill came from, and couldn't help but joke when he thought about it.

"Your Majesty, let's hurry up and take it!" Zhang Rang hurriedly handed over the pill.

"It's useless, even if they escape this time, they will only be more intense next time! For today's plan, there is only a place to die and then live! Liu Hong suddenly turned over, his face became ruddy, and he seemed to have recovered his health.

However, anyone with a little insight can see that this is actually a return to the light before death.

"Act according to the plan and tell Ting'er that Xie'er and Bian'er are his younger brothers in the end, and if they are assistants, they will assist, and if they can't assist, they will establish themselves as emperors! Anyway...... Let my Han family continue! Liu Hong hurriedly finished saying this, and finally breathed a sigh of relief, and finally collapsed on the bed.

Liu Hong was about to run out of breath at the moment, but he still looked at Zhang Rang anxiously.

"Whoa!" Zhang Rang's shoulders trembled, he couldn't cry anymore, his hands were raised high, he knew that Liu Hong was waiting for his words.

Liu Hong grinned, then closed his eyes and lay down, Zhang Rang tried to wake him up, but Liu Hong didn't react again. Zhang Rang put his hand between his nose and found that the latter was no longer breathing.

"How is Your Majesty?" Zhao Zhong hurriedly rushed in, before Emperor Han asked him to prepare the medicinal soup, he knew that according to the toxicity, Liu Hong was only afraid that he would die in these two hours, so he hurriedly came back to check.

"Your Majesty!" Zhang Rang said slowly.

"Do you have an explanation?" Zhao Zhong lifted Zhang Rang up and asked with a hideous face.

"The crown prince argues for the throne!" Zhang Rang replied.

"That's it? If you hide it, you know what's going to happen! Zhao Zhong shook Zhang Rang's shirt.

"I know you have Yuan Valve's backing behind you, but don't you use your brains? At this time, what edict will Your Majesty leave behind, or what oracle will be left behind, is it not up to you and me to decide? Zhang Rang opened his hand and said coldly.

"You know how to be a human being! As long as you are obedient, you will naturally be able to make you prosperous and rich in the future! Zhao Zhong snorted coldly.

"Know, I know what I have to do!" Zhang Rang closed his eyes and replied slowly, without a trace of emotion in his tone.
