The Han Empire is vast, fertile land for thousands of miles, Gaozu Liu Bang defeated the Chu overlord Xiang Yu and won the world, the capital of Chang'an Kaiyuan was restructured, the national strength of Emperor Wu was flourishing, the Xiongnu were driven to the north, Loulan in Xiping, the Baiyue in the south, the Han Dynasty was invincible, and Wang Mang usurped power, the Han Empire was stormy, fortunately Liu Xiu, a descendant of the Han family, turned the tide, punished Wang Mang, moved the imperial capital to Luoyang, so that the Han Empire can continue to this day.

Today's Han Empire's Son of Heaven is named Liu Hong, Liu Hong is not the heir of the first emperor, but the nephew of the first emperor, the first emperor's name is Liu Zhi, who believes in Buddhism and cultivates all his life, and refines a divine pill in the first year of Yongkang. Serve in the Jiade Palace, when Chinese New Year's Eve six years old, said Emperor Xiaohuan, Emperor Huan has no children in his life, and the empire can not be without a monarch for a day, after the general Dou Wu and the captain Chen Fan discussed, the general Dou Wu personally went to the river to take the twelve-year-old Liu Hong to the imperial capital Luoyang to ascend the throne and call the emperor, and changed the first year to Jianning! After Liu Hong ascended the throne, a group of eunuchs led by Zhang Rang served diligently every day, and Liu Hong, who was only twelve years old one day, was sitting in the West Garden and looking at the koi in the pond in a daze.

Zhang Rang cautiously walked over and said to Liu Hong, "Your Majesty, isn't it boring to watch fish every day?"

Liu Hong sighed slightly immaturely and said, "It's better to watch the fish than to watch the chapter."

Zhang Rang looked back and looked around and said with a smile: "Your Majesty comes with the old slave, the old slave will show you some different fish" Liu Hong was interested at this time, and followed Zhang Rang to turn left and right, "It turns out that the palace is so big, the queen mother didn't let me go casually before"

"Your Majesty has something to say, the old slave doesn't know whether to say it or not" Zhang Rang stopped his steps and hesitated, Liu Hong asked inexplicably, "If you have anything to say, just say it, I don't blame you"

Zhang Rang pondered for a moment, squatted and put his head close to Liu Hong's ear, "Empress Dowager Dou is not Your Majesty's biological mother, when the first emperor ascended the throne, the former general Liang Ji was flying and domineering, and he humiliated the first emperor in every way, what did he rely on?" It's not that there is a younger sister who is the queen mother, now His Majesty is in a similar position to the first emperor, Your Majesty must be careful of the Empress Dowager Dou and the general, Your Majesty knows these words, the old slave knows not to say it, otherwise Your Majesty and the old slave will be doomed" Liu Hong nodded blankly, Zhang Rang got up, "Your Majesty, let's go see the fish"

The two walked to a courtyard, Zhang Rang turned around and smiled mysteriously and said, "Your Majesty, I believe that these fish will satisfy you, please!" Liu Hong pushed open the door, for a while was stunned by the scenery in front of him, his face slowly turned red, the courtyard was singing and dancing, the red silk tent, one by one skin like snow, like a fairy descending to earth, Liu Hong walked forward in a daze, Zhang Rang's sinister laughter sounded behind him, "Your Majesty, life is short, you need to be happy in time, how can the Nine Heavens Wonderland be compared to this gentle township!" "The red mist is fluttering, the clouds and rain in Wushan, Liu Hong walked in but didn't want to come out,

"Your Majesty, how are the fish here?"

The whispers came and went, like weeping and complaining, and the night had not yet come, and the clothes were all ......

After the Empress Dowager Dou sat on the throne in Chengde Palace, a cadre of ministers stood on the main hall, the general Dou Wu looked at the empty throne, his eyes were constantly changing, and a little eunuch bowed his head and walked quickly to the throne and sharpened his voice, "Your Majesty has a call"

Everyone on the main hall knelt on the ground, and the little eunuch deliberately raised his already sharp voice, "Summoned: I have been unwell recently, and I am temporarily resting in the early dynasty, if you have a major event, you can write a chapter and submit it, and Zhang Rang, Zhao Zhong, Feng Zhen, Duan Qi, Cao Jie, Hou Lan, Jian Shuo, Cheng Kuang, Xia Yun, Guo Sheng and other ten people are loyal and can be specially appointed as permanent servants, and allow them to participate in the court politics, Qin this"

"What?!" The general Dou Wu got up from the ground angrily, stepped quickly to the little eunuch's side, stretched out his hand to take down the holy decree and opened it to check himself, Dou Wu's face was cloudy, and finally Dou Wu roared wildly and tore the holy decree to the ground and threw it on the ground: "These ten people are like pigs and dogs, and they want to participate in the government and politics!" I'm going to kill them! After saying that, Dou Wu strode out of the palace, and the Taiwei Chen Fan hurriedly followed, "General, your move is inappropriate, this is a slap in the face of Your Majesty!" What does Your Majesty think, and what do the people of the world think? ”

"When the first emperor was alive, these ten people did evil, and today they actually coaxed His Majesty to issue such an edict, I will definitely clear the monarch's side" Dou Wu walked out of the palace gate and his own soldiers had already led the horse, Dou Wu turned over and turned around and said, "Taiwei Chen, are you waiting for the prince to be willing to join me on the side of the Qingjun?" ”

"Alas" Chen Fan originally thought that the ten permanent servants were deeply rooted and needed to be cleared slowly, but he didn't expect that Dou Wu in the main hall today angrily pulled the holy decree and ignited the contradiction directly, and the most important thing is that what Dou Wu did today is no different from rebellion, but the ten permanent servants have been flying and domineering when they were in the reign of the first emperor by strangling the former general Liang Ji, if you don't help Dou Wu and Dou Wu die today, I am afraid that if you want to eliminate the ten permanent attendants in the future, it will be even more difficult to climb to the sky. ”

"Okay, I'll go outside the city to order troops! The city depends on Taiwei Chen," Dou Wu finished speaking, rode his horse and galloped away, and slowly walked out of a dark corner, looking at Dou Wu's distant back, and let out a sneer.

Dou Wu galloped out of Luoyang City with more than 100 personal soldiers, and rushed all the way to the camp of the forbidden army. ”

"Yes," one of the soldiers bowed and left

Dou Wu stretched out his hand to open the big tent of the Chinese army, but his footsteps stopped

"General Dou, long time no see" At this time, the big tent of the Chinese army was full of corpses, and the person who spoke was dressed as a eunuch, sitting on the general's seat with a golden sword, and there was a general standing beside him, it was Wang Fu, the captain of the forbidden army, with the help of Wang Fu, Dou Wu's personal guards and generals were all slaughtered, Dou Wu's face was pale, and he pointed to the person in the middle and shouted, "Cao Jie, it turns out that you have a premeditated plan to kill me Dou someone!" ”

"Doesn't the general also want to kill me? Since you and I are going to die, then it's up to you to die! With a wave of Cao Jie's hand, dozens of black-clothed people emerged from the dim tent, "Those who get Dou Wu's head will be rewarded with a thousand taels."

Dou Wu's personal soldiers also noticed that things had changed, and they pulled out their swords to protect Dou Wu's group, Dou Wu raised his sword and raised his arms and shouted, "Qingjun side, punish the eunuch party!" Kill! ”

A team of soldiers surrounded Dou Wu and others, and in an instant there was not much left of Dou Wu's own soldiers, Dou Wu cut down several Han soldiers with a sword, but he was also seriously injured by the black-clothed people caught in the Han army, the group of black-clothed people Dou Wu knew that they were the Xuanying dead soldiers of the first emperor, seeing that there were fewer and fewer pro-soldiers, and the rest were also struggling to support, Dou Wu struggled to get up, "Cao Jie, I Dou Wu can't kill you, one day you will not be able to die"

"Then don't bother the general!" Cao Jie flew and tore the big tent of the Chinese army, crossed countless people and threw himself at Dou Wu, a narrow sword flashed away, Cao Jie fell to the ground, playing with the narrow sword in his hand, and walked forward without looking back, sighing lightly: "It turns out that the head of the general is the same as that of ordinary people, it's really boring."

"Kill them all, don't leave a single one"

Chen Fan sent Dou Wu away, and the entourage rushed to the carriage, at this time Chen Fan was uneasy for a while, he looked back at the long corridor, turned around and was about to get into the car, a feather arrow slashed, shot through Chen Fan's chest, Chen Fan looked at his chest with an incredible face, Chen Fan tried to look back to see who was so bold to dare to assassinate himself, an important minister of the imperial court, outside the imperial capital of the Han Dynasty, he wanted to look back, but he couldn't turn back, his body fell to the ground, his dilated pupils through the towering wall, What I saw was a clear and cloudless sky, the cries of my entourage, and the panicked sounds of my colleagues slowly disappeared into my ears. Chen Fan, who was known as one of the Three Monarchs by his students, was assassinated in Sima Gate after the Imperial Meeting.

Luoyang City, the imperial capital of the Han Empire, is different from the bustling in the past, it seems to be extremely deserted, every street is guarded by the elite Yulin Guard of the Han Empire, Yulin Wei has become an army since the time of Emperor Wu, the soldiers in the army are the orphans of the soldiers who died in the war of the empire, and they were adopted by the royal family since childhood, and they were trained to become pro-army soldiers, no matter the training, the equipment is far more than other armies.

"By order, martial law will be imposed on the whole city, and the party members will be arrested! If there is resistance and harboring, it will be punished with rebellion" A fast horse shouted and galloped through the streets. The armor soldiers on the street also began to act, and in an instant, the iron armor was rolling, and the sound of cries and broken items was endless.

In the dim room sat a dozen or so well-dressed scholars, and in the center sat an old man about sixty years old, this person was Li Ying, the famous scholar of the Han Empire, at this time, his eyes swept over the people around him, and finally fixed his gaze on the dim roof, "You must have also heard, Taiwei Chen, General Dou is dead, we have waited for the general trend to go, I never thought that today I was defeated in the hands of a group of eunuchs, Li is ashamed!" ”

Everyone had a sad look on their faces, and one of them got up and said, "I am dedicated to Your Majesty and the country, why does Your Majesty want us to die, I am not convinced."

Li Ying stretched out his hand and motioned for Zhang Jian to sit down, and then said, "Yuan Jie, in the eyes of Your Majesty, you and I and everyone here are chaotic ministers and thieves, Zhang let them be able ministers and good ministers, and our scholars are dedicated to the common people and the society of the country, after all, they can't withstand the words of the eunuch in front of His Majesty, why?" Is it as simple as being a word of advice? In the final analysis, the eunuchs may be more trusted by His Majesty, otherwise the military and political power would not have been given to Zhang Rang and others, and we would not have been so defeated! ”

"Lord Li, at this time, the whole city is searching for you and me, how should we deal with it?"

"How can there be eggs under the nest, Your Majesty has ignored the government for two years, and the affairs of the court are Zhang Rang and others are giving orders, they slander us and other scholars for forming a party for personal gain, what can we do, after this incident, we and other scholars have no place to stand in the court, if you can escape from Luoyang City, you can go to Liu Biao, Liu Biao is a royal family, and has the virtue of a gentleman, he will inevitably take you in!"

"My lord, what about you?"

"I, I'm sixty years old, as a courtier, I'm not afraid of danger, and I don't avoid punishment if I'm guilty, if Your Majesty thinks I'm guilty, then let me die! Some things must be undertaken by someone, otherwise more people will die" Li Yingyan got up and pushed open the door and walked into the courtyard, his slightly rickety body reflected a long back in the sunset, everyone looked at each other, and at the same time knelt on the ground and shouted, "I am willing to die with adults!" ”

Li Ying's body trembled, and finally let out a long sigh.

The door slowly opened from the inside, and outside the door, Yulin elite stretched his bow and arrows to aim at the door, at this time, a general with gold armor and jade belt slowly rode forward, stopped the horse in front of the door of the Li Mansion, and dismounted and clenched his fists with both hands, "Lord Li will not be able to salute the armor in his body, forgive his sins"

Li Ying narrowed his eyes and looked carefully, "Oh, it turned out to be General Xu Yi, the general of Yulin Zhonglang, Zhang Rang looked at me like a scholar so much, and even asked the general to come in person."

"Lord Li said with a smile, the last general only listened to His Majesty's dispatch alone, your prestige is known to the world, the fact here is not what the last general wants, but it is difficult to disobey the last general, and the last general does not dare to disobey the order, and please Lord Li move" Xu Yi finished speaking and bowed to the end

Li Ying tidied up his clothes, helped his head with a high crown and turned to look, everyone behind him was not afraid, Li Ying looked up to the sky and laughed and walked out with his head held high, and the soldiers behind him also strode closely behind, the elite armor soldiers wanted to step forward and tie everyone up and press them into the edict, Xu Yi waved his hand to push back the armor soldiers, and sighed and praised the war horse.

In the autumn of the second year of Jianning of the Han Empire, a major event occurred in Luoyang, the imperial capital, Taiwei Chen Fan, the general Dou Wu, Shaofu Li Ying and others wanted to cut off the eunuch dictatorship and failed, Dou Wubing was defeated and died, Chen Fan was assassinated, Li Ying and other hundreds of scholars were imprisoned and executed. The government and the opposition were all buying and selling officials, and for a time the people were not happy, chaos arose, and the Han Empire entered the last afterglow.
