Chapter 40: Liu Xie's Night
It's not just Gao Ye who doesn't sleep all night, but Liu Xie in the palace is also the same. If Gao Ye couldn't sleep because he was dealing with the chaos in front of him, then Liu Xie was purely excited. Dong Cheng's plan is really strict, even he can't think of any flaws. When Cao Cao's head wind attacked, Liu Xie almost wanted to sing a song! This feeling is exactly the same as when Wang Yun conspired to kill Dong Zhuo and worshiped his ancestors in Taimiao.
As long as Cao Cao dies and Gao Ye dies, the power can really be in his own hands, this feeling was not even thought of before, but now it is about to become a reality. The 2,000 soldiers and horses of the Changshui battalion ambushed Gao Ye, and the 2,000 soldiers and horses of the Yue cavalry battalion ambushed Cao Ang, as for Cao Cao handed over to the imperial physician Yoshimoto, as soon as they died, who else in this Yingdu City could stop them from truly grasping the power! It's a pity that during the feast, he called Ji Ben to see Cao Cao's doctor, but he was stopped by Gao Ye, otherwise Ji Ben only needs a piece of poison to go down, and everything will be fine!
The excited Liu Xie has been walking back and forth in his bedroom, the corners of his eyebrows are flying for a while, and he laughs for a while, and Queen Fu, who was sitting on the side, was really afraid that Liu Xie would accidentally fall, so she kept shouting Liu Xie, telling him to slow down and sit down and rest. It's just that Liu Xie, who is inexplicably excited, can sit still, especially when he hears the report of the guards, the whole Yingdu City is in chaos, and he even shouts for people to drink!
Empress Fu hurriedly persuaded: "Your Majesty, you have already drunk a lot at night, and now it is late at night, I am afraid that you will hurt the dragon's body!" Besides, after the chaos, His Majesty has to preside over the overall situation, and the concubine thinks that it is still not appropriate to drink alcohol at this time. ”
"Eh, Queen, you're just like your timid father! I'm happy today, what's wrong with a drink! As soon as Liu Xie spoke, he felt a little unbearable in his heart, although he was a little timid and afraid of things, but in the end it was finally his. Queen Fu has been a queen for so many years, and she has accompanied herself through countless ups and downs, so she should not be harsh. Therefore, Liu Xie slowed down his tone and said with a smile: "This time, Uncle Dong Guo has been planning for so long and gathering so many loyal ministers and righteous people, so that Cao Cao, a traitor, can be regarded as moving, you say, can I not be happy!" ”
Queen Fu wanted to persuade again, but Liu Xie sat straight on the edge of the bed, hugged Queen Fu, the woman who had spent countless frightened nights with him, and whispered: "Queen, aren't you excited?" After tonight, I will be the real son of heaven! If there is chaos today, when I take power and return the world to Haiqing Heyan, I am definitely an existence like Gaozu, Emperor Wu, and Emperor Guangwu! You are my queen, and when the time comes, you will leave a name in history with me, wouldn't it be good! Although Dong Guiren is pregnant with the dragon seed, Uncle Dong Guo has made great contributions this time. But the queen, you have followed me for so many years, from Dong Zhuo to Cao Cao, how many hardships have you experienced, and you are the queen of the queen......"
Before Liu Xie's words were finished, a little eunuch hurriedly ran in, shouting as he ran, "Your Majesty, it's not good!" Liu Xie, who was imagining beautifully, jumped up from Fu Hou's side all of a sudden, his brows were tightly locked, and Queen Fu's face was even pale. Liu Xie saw the little eunuch push the door in, and he tripped over the threshold, and he was even more annoyed in his heart, and shouted loudly: "What are you panicking about!" What happened? ”
Seeing that Liu Xie was here, the little eunuch hurriedly knelt on the ground and bowed: "Oh no, Your Majesty, it's not good!" Yes, some soldiers and horses have come to the palace! Now that the forbidden army is retreating, I am afraid that the thieves will come in! ”
"What did you say!" Liu Xiedeng roared angrily! Also, whoever is sideways when the victory is in hand, will be like Liu Xie. The little eunuch saw Liu Xie's anger, and he trembled a little. Liu Xie scolded the bastard, and hurriedly asked: "Whose people are the horses, are you making trouble!" ”
The little eunuch opened his mouth, but he could not speak. Liu Xie's question is really too difficult to answer. You can't expect a little eunuch to be able to tell which one it is in such a panic just by the armor and banner. Besides, he didn't see any armor banners, it was nothing more than a Sima of the forbidden army who asked him to report to the emperor, and now the palace is already in danger.
Liu Xie, who was fantasizing about returning to power, never dreamed that things would develop like this. There was chaos in the city, and Cao Cao had no effective response at all, which shows that Cao Cao's head wind was indeed as Gibbon said, and the attack was out of control. As for Gao Ye, there are 2,000 men and horses to ambush, can't they beat him 100 people? Now that it has been completed, the palace has been attacked, and it is about to be beaten down! How can Liu Xie not have a sense of shame and anger about failure?
The shouts of killing became louder and louder, and Liu Xie's face gradually changed from anger to horror. Maybe it was a moment when I finally understood what was wrong with Dong Cheng's plan, or maybe it was really the fear of death. Liu Xie, who was panting, finally let out a long sigh, took an unsteady step, and sat on the ground. The little eunuch who was kneeling on the ground and Queen Fu both hurriedly ran to help. Liu Xie worked hard to settle his mind and reluctantly stood up, and the shouts of the sergeants came and went, and he had already arrived outside the dormitory.
Queen Fu's whole body leaned on Liu Xie's body, and because of fear, even holding Liu Xie's hand was cold. Liu Xie also took a long breath, stabilized his body, and let the little eunuch go out to have a look. He himself had his eyes closed, and he didn't know if he was thinking about why the situation had taken a turn for the worse, or if he was thinking about his fate.
The little eunuch opened the door, and the two soldiers stretched out their hands and immediately stopped them. That little eunuch was originally a close attendant of the emperor's side, who didn't let him in the palace in the past? Today, he was actually stopped at the door, and he was terrified for a while, and shouted in a sharp voice: "Presumptuous, you dare to stop me!" ”
I only heard one of them snort coldly and said, "I advise you to go back obediently and accompany Your Majesty!" Otherwise, huh! If I kill you, I don't need to ask anyone! ”
"You!" The little eunuch opened his mouth, and suddenly found that the armor on this person's body was very different from the forbidden army he had seen in the past, although it was much simpler, but there were a lot of knife marks on the armor. If this army is not a forbidden army, then doesn't it mean that the forbidden army has finished playing! If it's a rebel, who cares if he's a person next to the emperor! Perhaps, even Your Majesty will not be able to protect himself!
The little eunuch didn't dare to say much, so he could only run back in a hurry and run back to Liu Xie's side. Liu Xie was now sitting peacefully on the bed, and the little eunuch knelt down and said urgently: "Your Majesty, outside the door, there are rebels outside the door!" ”
"Rebels, not ready to come in?" Liu Xie squinted his eyes and asked.
"Huh? No, no. They just guarded them and didn't let the little ones go out, and said that it would be better to let the little ones stay with His Majesty, as if they weren't ready to kill them......"
"Huh?" Liu Xie had a thoughtful look on his face, Liu Xie was also an extremely intelligent person, and the little eunuch said that he knew in his heart that this attack on the palace was not a retaliatory attack by Cao Cao's leaderless dragons, but that someone had mastered the situation. But who is this person, is Cao Cao awake? Or Xun Yu?
Liu Xie didn't say a word, and Queen Fu sat beside him, her head resting on Liu Xie's shoulder. The trembling body gradually settled down. I don't know how long it took, but suddenly, the door of the dormitory opened, and the footsteps of someone entering the palace followed. Liu Xie patted Queen Fu's hand gently, then got up and walked towards the small hall outside the bedroom. The matter has come to this, and Liu Xie also wants to know who this person is.
As soon as you enter the small hall, it is fishy. At first glance, I saw four heads rolling on the ground, and there was blood everywhere. Even though Liu Xie had also experienced the palace gate incident, he couldn't help but panic. As soon as he looked up, he saw Gao Ye sitting there, knocking on Erlang's leg, looking at himself expressionlessly.
Liu Xie endured the discomfort and asked, "Situ, what the hell is going on!" What does it mean to get four heads! You led troops to storm the palace, is this a rebellion! ”
Gao Ye stood up, arched his hand, and said with a smile: "Tonight, Dong Cheng rebelled against the party, and the whole Yingdu City was in chaos." It's really unfortunate that the commander of the forbidden army, Zhaoxin General Wu Zilan is also Dong Cheng's confidant, and the minister is also worried about His Majesty's safety, so he brought troops here, but fortunately, His Majesty is safe. Now that the heads of Dong Cheng, Wu Shuo, Wang Zifu, and Wu Zilan are here, doesn't Your Majesty want to see them? However, the minister first confessed to Your Majesty, and the Captain of Changshui ambushed me on the road, and his head is now offered to your Majesty before the bodies of my brothers who died in battle, so as not to disturb the souls of my brothers. ”
"You... You! High night, high Situ! What the hell do you want to do! ”
"Naturally, it is to clear the opposition party! Your Majesty can rest assured that this farce is coming to an end, and the people who are making trouble in the city have already cleaned up the tiger camp of the captain. Those who plotted to rebel were also dealt with by Dr. Zhijin Wujia. ”
"Then Situ, if you don't go to purge the rebels, what are you doing in my palace! Storm the palace, I see you ......" Liu Xie was about to scold Gao Ye for being against the party, but when he saw Gao Ye's cold gaze, his heart sank. Now it's people who are swordsmen, and I'm fish and meat, and my life today is just a thought of the night. Therefore, Liu Xiesheng held the word "traitor" in his stomach and said: "I think you are really doing this extra thing!" ”
Gao Ye laughed, stood up, shook his head and said, "How can you call this an extra move?" As a Situ, how can you not think about your majesty's safety first? If I'm late, even if Your Majesty is only injured by Wu Zilan, the minister won't be able to afford it. ”
"Now Wu Zilan is dead! Situ, isn't that enough? ”
Gao Ye smiled coldly when he heard this, and said, "Who called that there is still a rebel party in this palace, and the evil will be eliminated!" The ministers came to the side of the Qing monarch, to get rid of the traitors, and to return me to the Han Dynasty a bright and prosperous country! Your Majesty can rest assured that the imperial physician Ling Yoshimoto and Concubine Dong will arrive later. The last four words of Gao Ye were almost said through gritted teeth, and the cold murderous aura made Liu Xie shudder.
