Chapter 134: The Death of the Emperor

A desperate girl knelt in front of the cliff: "Counting yesterday, I have failed to confess 999 times,

I pride myself on being cheerful, chic, high-spirited, kind-hearted, broad-minded, and full of positive energy, but why has no man ever liked me? Firmament! Please open your eyes and tell me why the world is so unfair! ”

A gloomy voice broke through the sky, "Because you're fat......"

Luoyang, Imperial Palace.

"It's out of the water!"

A clear shout came from outside, the brush in Cao Cao's hand trembled, and almost dripped ink onto the paved bamboo slips, the autumn air dried and the things were dry, and the palace was mostly wooden buildings, and he was most afraid of fire. If it burns, it will be continuous and endless.

Cao Cao quickly stood up, pushed open the door and walked out quickly. As soon as the door opened, the wind outside the door took the opportunity to blow in, and he was shocked to see that a sky-high fire was burning in the direction of the forbidden dormitory under the howling north wind, and the firelight illuminated half of the sky.

The palace was already in chaos, and the guards and guards were running around, noisy and shouting, and there were shouts everywhere, some running towards the outside of the palace, some running towards the palace, like a swarm of headless flies. They are only those fritter soldiers who have never been on the battlefield, and Cao Cao himself is only a few thousand soldiers, so he can't arrange guards at all, and these fritter soldiers are completely at a loss if they don't encounter this kind of thing.

Only a small yellow door stood on a high place, shouting, trying to control the chaos, but unfortunately no one listened to him at all. Xiao Huangmen jumped off the high platform and ran wildly outside, almost colliding head-on with Cao Cao, who was hurrying over.

"What about the emperor?" Cao Cao grabbed the yellow door and asked loudly. Xiao Huangmen hurriedly replied: "Your Majesty is still in the dormitory, refusing to open the door, and the little one is going to go to the guard to rescue him." ”

This made Cao Cao's heart jump "suddenly". Cao Cao looked around and shouted, "Who is on duty today?" ”

"Captain Wu."

"Where is he?"

Before Huangmen could answer, a general in armor ran over in a panic, and Cao Cao recognized him as Wu Kai, the captain of Changshui, and asked coldly, "What about your people?" ”

Wu Kai had just been woken up from his sleep, his mind was still a little confused, and when he heard Cao Cao ask, he held the crown tassel of the helmet and gasped: "They are all outside the palace, and Sima Wuzhao of the palace gate does not dare to open it without permission." ”

"Ridiculous! The chief official lives directly in the palace, and his subordinates are stationed outside the palace! Cao Cao was furious, "Pass my order, open the middle door, and let them come in immediately to escort them!" ”

Captain Changshui originally belonged to the Northern Army, and was in charge of the security of the capital, and he had long been an honorary title that did not lead soldiers. Wu Kai's soldiers are all from Luoyang fritters, eating, drinking, prostituting and gambling. Because of Luoyang, the imperial court simplified because of the complexity, so the responsibilities of the original Weiwei and Guangluxun and Zhonglang generals were concentrated in the hands of Cao Cao, and he was put in charge of the Luoyang guard. However, Yang Feng did not give Cao Cao many soldiers and horses, and even if he did, he was a good soldier with little ability. Compared with those idle officers and soldiers, Wu Kai is considered to be relatively elite among the Luoyang soldiers under his command, and he is the only force that the imperial court can trust in Xudu.

Of course, Cao Cao's own brothers can't be counted.

Wu Kai hurriedly took the order and left, Cao Cao caught a few more Lang officials, and asked them to hurry to Xiahou Yuan, and Cao Hong and they gathered in front of Weiyang Palace. With Cao Cao, the captain of Sili, in charge, those panicked crowds gradually restored order.

It is very close from the Imperial Palace Qilin Hall to Weiyang Palace. Cao Cao hurried over in three steps and two steps, and saw that the two yellow-framed doors were still tightly closed. At this time, the fire grew bigger and bigger, and he could feel the heat even outside the forbidden place.

Cao Cao was so anxious that he raised his head and shouted: "I'm Cao Cao, the captain of Sili, who is on the door?" Half of the door slowly opened, revealing a panicked old face, he was Zhang Yu of the Middle Yellow Gate.

"Is it Captain Cao?"

"Open the door! Do you want the whole forbidden to burn to the ground? Cao Cao glared and shouted.

"It's good if it's you, it's good if it's you......" Zhang Yu was relieved, and hurriedly ordered someone to open the door, and muttered: "I'm afraid that someone will take advantage of the chaos to be unfavorable to the emperor, Luoyang is a ghost place, but not everyone is the same as you." ”

Cao Cao knew that this old man had always been full of complaints, and it was inconvenient to delve into it at this time, so he stepped into the door and asked, "Where is Your Majesty at this time?" ”

"Your Majesty and the Empress both escaped in time and are resting in the Ludi next to them at this time."

Cao Cao felt a little relieved and looked inside. Sure enough, it was the dormitory that caught fire, and the entire building was completely shrouded in fire, surrounded by smoke and fire, and from time to time there was a sound of peeling off. A group of eunuchs were beaten in panic with brooms and wet linen.

Cao Cao glanced around and suddenly asked, "Why is there no water in the tank?" He pointed to a row of vats that should have been filled with water in case of fire. Zhang Yu said: "The pulp washing and bathing in the palace are all from the tank. There is no one to hydrate these days......

At this time, Wu Kai led a group of soldiers to rush over, and Cao Cao saw that they still had steel knives hanging from their waists, and he was angry: "You are also an old courtier, and you don't understand this rule?" Is it an attempt to assassinate His Majesty? Wu Kai blushed and ordered the soldiers to untie their weapons and throw them on the ground, and for a while the bluestone ground sounded "crackling".

"Save the car first, then put out the fire." Cao Cao instructed with a calm face. So the soldiers were divided into three teams, one team went to support the eunuchs, trying their best not to let the fire spread to the surrounding palaces, one team went to save the prince and concubines, and the other team followed Cao Cao and Chongji straight to Lu.

Lu Yi is the resting place of the guards, close to the palace wall, and the palace is separated by a road and a pond, and it will not be affected for a while. Zhang Yu transferred the emperor here as soon as the fire started, and in the end, he was an old eunuch who stayed in the forbidden province when he was the Emperor Ling, and his experience was old after all.

Cao Cao saw that the emperor was wrapped in a brocade quilt, sitting on the stone steps outside the palace, staring at the fire of the dormitory in a daze. Next to him, Fu Hou and Tang Ji were on both sides, and the two of them were scattered and disheveled, and their clothes were untidy, and they knew that they were running in an extremely hurry.

He didn't care about the etiquette, stepped forward and knelt on one leg: "Weichen is late to escort him, and he deserves death." Cao Cao raised his head and saw that the Son of Heaven was pale, and there were still a few gray marks on his face, and he was embarrassed, and his heart was slightly sour.

At this time, Fu Hou said: "Captain Cao, is it safe for these four weeks?" ”

Don't be in a hurry to evacuate after seeing the ambush, and ask about the peace around first, which is a serious move. Xun Yu was quite appreciative, and replied with his head down: "Wu Kai, the captain of Changshui, is also here, and with their escort, it can be safe." Please also ask Your Majesty to move the Qilin Hall to avoid accidents. ”

Cao Cao didn't notice that Liu Xie in front of him was already dead.

He coughed a few times, and his voice was faint and inaudible. Cao Cao listened carefully to the thunderbolt on a sunny day, and said after the fall: "Your Majesty has died, and the Holy Body has been stiffened." "My Ma, this nine-year-old child is actually holding a dead man, and he can still speak so calmly, I guess he was too frightened just now.

"What??? Your Majesty..."Cao Cao hurriedly walked over and touched his nose, and found that he was really out of breath.

"Your Majesty... Woo woo..."In an instant, there was a wail around him, and Cao Cao looked at His Majesty's way of death, and guessed that it was probably poisoned. And it's still a strange poison, and the death is the same as a normal death, if you don't check it carefully, you will definitely think that it is too frightened and died.

Later, Cao Cao took His Majesty's holy body, and as soon as he went out, Cao Cao found that the periphery of the forbidden center had already been surrounded by troops. The soldiers were indifferent to the fire, but simply put their spears sideways and confronted Cao Hong's thousands of men, blocking back all those who tried to escape from the imperial city.

Cao Cao looked at the main general who didn't know the other party, then walked over and said to the main general: "The general came so quickly. I don't know what the general is called. ”

Xu Huang grinned: "Xu Huang, the last general, the Son of Heaven has something, how dare he be unhappy." When he said this, he glanced at the emperor behind Cao Cao, and that look was by no means loyal or friendly.

Cao Cao didn't seem to notice the change in Xu Huang's eyes, he pointed to the garrison: "General Xu, the death of the Son of Heaven has something to do with you and others." ”

Xu Huang was also stunned, and pointed to Liu Xie, who was holding behind him: "Your Majesty has died?!! Cao Cao! You didn't do it. More than 1,000 soldiers in black armor prepared their spears at the same time, and their movements were neat and neat.

Cao Cao rolled his eyes and said, "General Xu, you misunderstood, Your Majesty had been dead for a long time when I rushed there. You'd better put down your weapons and talk about it. ”

"Cao Mengde, you wolf son also has a heart, don't think that Xu doesn't know about the traitor of the troubled times, you are not willing to live under the people, send someone to assassinate General Yang Feng, although our army is short of food to rob the people at most, it will not eat the master, look at what is going on." Xu Huang yelled, throwing the things in his hand to Cao Cao.

Cao Cao took the thing, and when he saw it, it turned out to be the tiger and leopard riding token under his command. knew that someone had planted a dirty dowry, so he hurriedly said, "General Xu, it is obvious that someone is marrying Cao, General Xu can't jump to conclusions!" Cao Mou is a big man, how could he do such a rebellious thing!"

"Cao Mengde, you don't have to quibble, now that Your Majesty has also died, Luoyang is your Cao Cao's biggest, and the entire division is your Cao Cao's world." Xu Huang actually understood in his heart that this was a conspiracy, a conspiracy to deal with Cao Cao. But Yang Feng is kind to himself, no matter how bad he is to himself, he should also avenge him. And Cao Cao is the person who is most suspicious.

"General Xu, this is a conspiracy, Cao knows who is the main messenger of this conspiracy, that is Chu Xiong, the great general who is far away in Youzhou." Cao Cao knew in his heart that this was the trick that Chu Xiong had set for himself, and he wanted to force him to become a generation of traitors.

"The name of the general's virtue is known to the whole world, and you can talk nonsense, you have evidence." Xu Huang looked at this Cao Cao and shirked and would not find a good one, who would believe it if he was looking for that Chu Xiong.

"Proof! No! "Cao Cao is so depressed, I thought, I have evidence and I need to talk nonsense with you here.

"Big brother, a small soldier doesn't need to pay attention to him, just cut it directly, and take advantage of Si Lijun's failure to react, it is a big deal to take over Yang Feng's army." Cao Hong yelled.

"Yes, big brother, what nonsense to talk to him" Xiahoudun also yelled.

"Cao Cao, he also said that he was a loyal minister, and he took his life." Xu Huang heard them say this, how can he care if you are wronged or not? Just avenge Yang Feng.

Cao Cao was also speechless when he saw the two stunned brothers, why did he waste so much saliva to start beating himself? This is roared by them, the loyal ministers can't do it, and the world may still brand him as a traitor in the future, but who is Cao Cao, where would he really care about these false names, waved his hand, "Kill all these rebels who assassinated Your Majesty." ”

Xu Huang almost vomited blood when he heard Cao Cao's words, shameless, shameless. If you kill yourself like this, the crime of killing Yang Feng and killing Your Majesty is estimated to fall on you, but don't think about it, Cao Jun on the other side has already rushed over.
