Chapter 167: Disheartened
Originally, Liu Yuan also wanted to take advantage of the opportunity to destroy Dong Zhuo to set things right and put the revival of the Han Dynasty on the right track. Unexpectedly, the Son of Heaven had no opinion and could not distinguish between right and wrong, which made his heart full of incomparable disappointment, and that faint luck has been completely erased by the behavior of the Son of Heaven!
Maybe the wheel of history is too huge, and Liu Yuan's behavior is tantamount to using a mantis arm as a car and a mayfly shaking a tree!
The Han Dynasty is going to perish after all!
"Alas" Liu Yuan sighed again, suddenly felt disheartened, stretched out his hand and waved the three of them away, and the whole room was lonely and desolate.
Historically, the fall of the Eastern Han Dynasty, and then the three-legged battle, a hundred years of war, consumed the essence of the eight layers of the Chinese nation! The Sima Jin Dynasty in the back did not have the ability to recuperate, so that the Hou Wu was chaotic, and the Chinese people became two-legged sheep and were slaughtered!
It was the most humiliating and saddest moment in the history of the Chinese nation! It is also the moment when the blood in the bones of the Chinese nation is consumed for the first time! Since then, the spirit of the Han Dynasty has dissipated in the dust of history!
Now, Liu Yuan came to the Han Dynasty. It took ten years to use sharp blades and blood to almost completely uproot that alien Hulu, making him a slave and a servant, sent by my Han people! For the construction of northern Xinjiang, dedicate their spirit.
In this way, the so-called five nonsense in the future will become completely nonsense!
Therefore, since the great battle to exterminate the Zhuhu in Northern Xinjiang in 185, Liu Yuan has completely focused his attention on the Central Plains.
In his opinion, if the people of the world can live and work in peace and contentment in a peaceful way, so that the Chinese nation can develop by leaps and bounds, and it is best if there is no change of dynasty, and whether or not to be an emperor and not to ascend to a high position is dispensable for a child of a clan like him with the soul of a future person. Because if the world really falls apart and the flames are raging, then it is the common people who suffer and suffer, it is he Liu Yuan who suffers, and it is the entire Chinese nation that suffers!
So Liu Yuan has always had an idea in his heart, to support the big man, set things right, and then retire to the field, at ease! Although this idea is contradictory to the trace of the wild king in a man's heart, Liu Yuan counted it carefully, but he felt that this was not the case.
As the king of Yuyang, his status is only half a step away from the emperor, and he can be said to be above 10,000 people under one person; He is the general of the expedition to the north, holding an army of one million, galloping the territory to be invincible; He has several celebrities, the famous talented girl Cai Yan, the immortal Luo Shen Zhen Mi, and the Qiao sisters who once met.
He has status, power, blood, and beauties, so what else does the hard-working emperor have to do?
Therefore, the death of Emperor Ling and Dong Zhuo's chaos gave him the best chance!
The best chance to set things right!
However, the heavens do not fulfill people's wishes, the Son of Heaven is young and dumb and has no opinions, the courtiers have their own ghosts, and the local officials have their own policies, supporting the army and respecting themselves, how can such a royal family still be maintained? How could such a courtier survive on earth? Such a dynasty is still worthy of his support?
Disheartened, completely disheartened!
Liu Yuan lazily leaned on the back of the Taishi chair, his eyes slightly closed, and his whole body relaxed, without a trace of momentum. It's like a tiger asleep, not knowing when it will wake up.
The next time, Hongyu Gaosheng, Liyi, Gaoshun, Lu Bu and other generals had already finished today's morning exercise and were chatting together.
"Brother Lu, Brother Koji, do you think it's a little different today?" Gao Shun's face was full of suspicion.
"Not bad." Koji Yi also nodded yes: "I always feel that something is missing today, what is it?" ”
Lu Bu didn't feel this way.
"My lord, huh? The lord didn't come to the morning exercise today! Gao Shun shouted: "The lord says that the morning exercise is rain or shine, why hasn't it come today?" ”
Koji Yoshiki was also suddenly.
"Hey, it's early!"
At this time, Liu Yuan's voice rang out.
The three of them looked up and hurriedly went over to salute.
"Okay, okay, it's not a very formal occasion, so don't be polite." Liu Yuan waved his hand weakly and said, "Gao Shun, you go and inform Yuan Shao and the others, just say that this king is going back to Luoyang today, as for what they do, don't pay attention to it." ”
After speaking, Liu Yuan turned around and left, just a few steps away, but he paused again, and said: "Inform Yuan Hao, let him abandon Bishui Pass and lead the army back to Jizhou." ”
After saying that, there were no more strange looks from a few people, and they left on their own.
"This"
Ko Yi looked at Liu Yuan's back blankly, completely puzzled by what Liu Yuan meant.
It stands to reason that Liu Yuan killed Dong Zhuo and deterred the princes, and it should be the time to be high-spirited. And Bishui Pass and Tiger Prison Pass, the two battlegrounds for soldiers, should also be in their own hands, but why should they be withdrawn? Even if you evacuate Bishui Pass, you should not retreat to Jizhou, but you should join the army of Zhulu to exterminate the remnants of Dong Zhuo's army!
Although Gao Shun was puzzled, he faithfully carried out Liu Yuan's order, immediately sent someone to summon Tian Feng, and personally went to inform the princes.
At noon, Liu Yuan, in the puzzled eyes of everyone, led all the Youzhou troops in the Tiger Prison Pass, looking at Luoyang and leaving
Luoyang, South Gate.
The Son of Heaven sat on the Luan chariot, and the courtiers on both sides stood side by side, standing quietly under the city gate.
The tremor from the ground became more and more intense, and the Son of Heaven raised his head and saw the growing black line in the setting sun.
"It's coming!"
So thought so.
Dian Wei, Cai Yang, and Gan Ning were dressed and stood at the front, straight and straight, like statues.
In a moment, the army revealed its true face in front of everyone.
Liu Yuan waved his hand, and the nearly 100,000 army was silent in an instant.
Looking at the three generals standing in front of him, Liu Yuan was very happy. Looking at the Son of Heaven not far away, looking at those courtiers with hypocritical smiles on their faces, the trace of happiness in Liu Yuan's heart was completely disintegrated and converted into disgust!
Waving away Dian Wei and the others, Liu Yuan didn't get off the mount, so he walked over, walked to the front of Tianzi Luan, arched his hand slightly, squeezed out a smile on his face, and said, "Meet the Son of Heaven." ”
The voice was shriveled and devoid of any emotion.
This behavior reflects Liu Yuan's complete disappointment with the Son of Heaven and the imperial court - such a faint monarch is not worthy of him Liu Yuan to get off the horse and bow down!
However, Liu Yuan's behavior made the Son of Heaven completely believe the words of Yuan Kui and others!
Look, people have exterminated the anti-thieves, and they are sitting big, and they don't put the Son of Heaven in their eyes!
Therefore, in the heart of the Son of Heaven, he became more and more sure of the plan of Yuan Kui and others. Looking at the Yuyang King in front of him, who had lost the slightest edge, the Son of Heaven said viciously in his heart: Let you be arrogant now, and there will be no corpse by then!
"Hehe," Liu Xie also smiled and said: "King Yuyang has worked hard, tonight I will set up a banquet in Weiyang Palace to entertain the prince, the prince must be present!" ”
Liu Yuan felt a sadness in his heart, the little emperor originally called him teacher, but now he is called Yuyang King.
Liu Yuan nodded, never looked at the Son of Heaven again, turned around and ordered Lu Bu, Gao Shun and others to lead the army to camp on the spot, and then took Dian Wei, Cai Yang, and Gan Ning through the courtiers and entered Luoyang City.
In the sunlight under the city gate, the embarrassment of the Son of Heaven and the anger of the courtiers were in stark contrast to Liu Yuan's ignorance. The people who were originally watching the excitement next to them have long since disappeared!
Back in the palace, Liu Yuan sat in the living room like this and didn't speak. Dian Wei and the three of them looked at each other, looking at the lord who had no edge in front of them, and they didn't dare to speak. In this way, after an hour of big engagement, Gao Shun and others arranged the army and arrived in the palace.
Liu Yuan looked at the darkened sky, stood up, and sighed, "It's time!" So saying, he went out the door.
"Young Master!"
Dian Wei finally spoke, and stepped forward to stop in front of Liu Yuan: "Young Master, the emperor didn't have a good heart to set up a banquet, and he wanted to poison and murder you, young master!" ”
"You told me that." A slight chuckle flashed on Liu Yuan's face: "But this king still wants to go and see, and I want to feel the Hongmen banquet that Gaozu personally experienced in the past." ”
"But," Dian Wei was anxious.
"Needless to say." Liu Yuan waved his hand and said, "Isn't it poisoning, this king has condensed out of the realm, and his body is flawless and leaky, and he has long been invulnerable." I want to see what kind of poison there is in this world that can poison this king! ”
"Dian Wei, lead the way ahead, let's go to the palace!"
After speaking, Liu Yuan lifted Dian Wei and strode out.
"Pawn, keep up!"
Gan Ning's eyes flickered, pushed Dian Wei out of the door, turned his face to Cai Yang and said, "Lao Cai, we have to prepare, maybe there will be a good show tonight!" ”
"But the lord"
"You're stupid!" Gan Ning slapped Cai Yang's head and drank: "What kind of character can the lord be killed by some villains?" The two of us still prepared early and answered the lord. ”
In the Weiyang Palace, the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty have been seated. Liu Xie, the son of heaven, sat on the dragon couch, with his eyes closed and didn't know what he was thinking.
Downstairs, the courtiers were talking in a low voice, and Yuan Kui and several other important ministers also closed their eyes and waited.
"The King of Yuyang has arrived!"
Outside the palace gate, the sharp voice of the eunuch came in.
Suddenly, the Son of Heaven opened his eyes, the important ministers opened their eyes, and the courtiers all gathered their eyes at the door.
Liu Yuan was dressed in a royal robe and strode in. Dian Wei followed closely and followed.
Glancing around, Liu Yuan's Mr. Yan completely lost his intimidating sharpness, and like an ordinary farmer who couldn't be more ordinary, he didn't have any meaning.
"I've seen the Son of Heaven."
Liu Yuan bowed slightly to the Son of Heaven and said lightly.
"Heh," Liu Xie smiled reluctantly and said, "King Yuyang, please take a seat." ”
"Give the wine to the king!" Liu Yuan didn't want to stay here for a moment at all, just to see the ruthlessness and injustice of the Son of Heaven with his own eyes, and completely put an end to the delusions in his heart, before he came to the banquet, otherwise he would have already led the army to leave, how could he come here to see the ugly faces of these courtiers?
"Wine?!"
The Son of Heaven's heart jumped, his face changed, and he stood up violently.
Liu Yuan's gaze slipped from the Son of Heaven, swept over Yuan Kui, Wang Yun, Huang Wan, Yang Xiu and other ministers, and finally spoke: "Didn't you specially prepare a pot of poisonous wine for this king?" Take it out and let this king taste it! ”
As soon as these words came out, the hall was full of silence!
The Son of Heaven, Yuan Kui, Wang Yun, Yang Xiu, Huang Wan and others were colorless in an instant!
He got it!
How's that going?!
Thinking of the hundreds of thousands of troops inside and outside Luoyang City, the hearts of the Son of Heaven and a group of important ministers were cold!
Maybe at this moment, the entire palace has been surrounded, right?
"Take it out!"
Liu Yuan's faint voice shocked the Son of Heaven to take a few steps back, and almost fell to the ground.
"Take it out!"
Liu Yuan's tone became more and more serious.
"Take it and take it out" Tianzi stammered, and he couldn't say a word.
As soon as the words fell, a little eunuch came out of the side, carrying a plate with a wine jug and a wine glass on the plate! He walked tremblingly, and the plate shook as if it would fall to the ground in the next moment!
Everyone's eyes were focused on the pot of wine on the plate, their throats rolling, their thoughts flying!
Does he want to return the favor to others in his own way, and return this pot of wine to the Son of Heaven and the ministers?!
Thinking that Xing was going to die a desolate death in the next moment, many ministers made a swing!
"Hey, this king is good, don't drop it, otherwise I will kill you and drag it out to feed the dog!"
The little eunuch almost fell in horror, the wine glass flew out, fell to the ground and shattered with a crackle, and he hurriedly took the wine jug in his arms and threw away the plate.
Liu Yuan looked around, found a place to sit down, and said, "Come here, bring the wine here." ”
He took the pot of poisonous wine from the little eunuch's hand, took a wine glass from the table next to him, and poured himself a full glass!
"It's good wine, isn't it?"
Liu Yuan raised his wine glass and shook it, causing the Manchu Dynasty civil and military to dry their mouths.
"Good wine should be tasted!"
Saying that, Liu Yuan actually drank the cup of poisonous wine in one gulp!
He's crazy!
That's the first thought on everyone's mind. Everyone looked at Liu Yuan like a monster, only to say that this person was tired of being crooked!
Then, Liu Yuan drank a second cup!
At this moment, Yuan Kui's heart completely fell to the ground.
This wine poison is a poison he got from a secret source! That kind of poison, a little cover of the order nails, can poison ten cows! And in the wine jug in Liu Yuan's hand, he put down a whole tael!
One or two!
Even Liu Yuan's body made of copper and iron will also die through his intestines!
"Hahahaha Liu Yuan'er, you are asking for death, who can blame you?!" Yuan Kui stood up and laughed wildly: "The hundreds of members of the old man's family were almost killed by you, and today I am finally going to take revenge!" Hahahaha"
"Really?" Liu Yuan looked at this old man with pity, and actually drank another cup to himself!
"Tsk, good wine!"
Liu Yuan's face was full of enjoyment: "This wine is produced by me in Youzhou, right?" ”
Yuan Kui laughed for a long time, his voice became smaller and smaller, and finally his face was full of incredulity: "Why aren't you dead yet?!" Why aren't you dead yet?! ”
The lower mouth pierced the intestines, and when he saw the poison of the blood sealing his throat, he was drunk by Liu Yuan cup after cup, and at this moment, he was not dead yet?!
"Do you want this king to die?" Liu Yuan simply took the wine jug and drank the jug of poisoned wine one after another!
"Old Puff!" Liu Yuan looked at Yuan Kui viciously, and threw the wine jug over, only to hear a bang, and the copper kettle and Yuan Kui's head came into close contact!
Suddenly, blood flowed from Yuan Kui's head!
"Ahh Yuan Kui screamed, pulled up his robe and wiped it randomly! He was afraid that the copper kettle was stained with poison on the surface, and he was afraid that he would be poisoned to death!
"Humph!"
Liu Yuan stood up violently, his majestic body was like a mountain and a river, as if he was on top!
"This little poisonous wine, you want to poison this king?!" Liu Yuan looked at the Son of Heaven, opened his mouth and exhaled a puff of black smoke, it was the wine poisoning drug, which was actually separated from the wine by Liu Yuan, evaporated into smoke, and spit out!
"Liu Xie, Liu Xie, it's unbearable! It's unbelievable! Why is this king so stupid that he wants to support you idiot!? Liu Yuan sighed: "If you want to kill this king, you also have to think of a better way, don't you think it's too boring to give poisoned wine?" ”
Liu Xie trembled uncontrollably.
"It's all you!"
He screamed: "You are going to take my country, you want to take my throne!" You're damned! You die! Liu Xie grabbed the jade seal on the imperial case and threw it over.
Liu Yuan caught it, looked at the heirloom jade seal in his hand, and sighed: "In vain, this king has a good intention, specially brought it from Youzhou to your majesty, and your majesty does not cherish it, and returns it to this king." Well, this king will accept it! ”
Saying that, Liu Yuan laughed and said, "Go!" ”
Dian Wei immediately stood beside Liu Yuan, and the two walked outside the hall.
When passing by Yuan Kui, who was still desperately wiping the blood on his head, Liu Yuan suddenly stretched out his finger and looked at the old man's head with a brain meltdown!
Burst!
All of a sudden, red and white, sprinkled all over the ground!
"Ahh
The courtiers screamed and retreated!
"It's all rubbish! No wonder this great country is so decadent! ”
Liu Yuan gently wiped his fingers on the corners of his clothes and strode out of the palace gate.
