"Holy Lord, there is a traitor Zhang Jiao who claims to be the general of Tiangong, gathers a crowd to rebel, and calls the Yellow Turban Army, with the idea that 'the sky is dead, the yellow sky should stand, the age is in Jiazi, and the world is auspicious. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 info'. I beg the Holy One to send troops to destroy the thieves. Cai Yong knelt down and pleaded.

Emperor Ling was still lying on the dragon chair with a bored look: "Well, I know, just send troops." ”

The general He Jin stood up: "May I ask where Your Majesty sent troops?" ”

Emperor Ling frowned: "The general is not deceiving me?" Since it is said that there is a rebellion of the Yellow Turban Thieves, they will send troops to the place of rebellion. ”

"Your Majesty," He Jin said with a bitter face, "there is no place in the world that is not a place of rebellion. ”

"What!" The Spirit Emperor suddenly sat up from the dragon chair and his eyes widened.

Cai Yong immediately kowtowed:

"Your Majesty! The Yellow Turban Army gathered a total of 800,000 people, known as millions! Swept the world, covering the sky and the sun, the fire of rebellion spread all over the eight prefectures of Qing, Xu, You, Hebei, Jing, Yang, Yan and Henan, within one day, nearly 100 cities were broken by the Yellow Turban Army, and the thieves had gone outside the division. Although there are no Yellow Turbans rebelling in the other four states, Liang, Yi, and Jiao, the alien races saw that my Han was in chaos, and they sent troops to attack one after another! Then Cai Yong raised his head and cried: "Your Majesty! I'm in danger! ”

"Huh? This... This..."Emperor Ling said in a panic, "Quickly use all the troops of the world to suppress the rebel party!" ”

He Jin said with a sad face: "Luoyang has only 200,000 troops, and the soldiers in each county are insufficient, so it is difficult to fight. ”

"Conscription!" Emperor Ling almost roared the order, "Spread the order to the world, all counties and counties will post lists to recruit troops, and there is no limit to the number of troops, and the major clans will send food and troops, and vow to pacify the Yellow Turban!" ”

"No!" The ministers took orders in a panic and quickly began to arrange various repression matters.

In the main hall, only the Spirit Emperor was left looking at the sky outside the hall with empty eyes, and fell on the dragon chair in a distraction......

Command the world to move.

Jingshi, the general He Jin led the troops to the battle, and Huangfu Song, Zhu Jun divided into three ways to attack, and was facing the Yellow Turban soldiers led by Zhang Jiao, the general of Tiangong, Zhang Bao, and Zhang Liang, the general of Rengong.

In the palace, Zhang Rang, the ten permanent attendants, waited for the audience to meet Emperor Ling.

Zhang Rang knelt down in front of Emperor Ling: "Your Majesty, the old slave heard that there were thieves who were in turmoil, and the situation was critical, so after discussing in private, he was willing to make a monk and have a property of 10 million to help His Majesty beg the thief!" ”

"Father," Emperor Ling looked at Zhang Rang and the others with tears in his eyes, his throat trembling, "I know that only you are willing to get close to me at this time." ”

"Your Majesty doesn't have to say it explicitly," Zhang Rang burst into tears: "The old slave has served His Majesty since he was a child, and your suffering, the old slave understands." ”

"Father!" Emperor Ling threw himself into Zhang Rang's arms and hugged his head and cried.

Yuan Mansion, "Ma, Dou, Deng, Liang" and other old big families, Yanzhou Xun family, Hedong Wei family, Xuzhou Mi family, Jizhou Zhen family, Jiangdong Lu family...... Almost all the world's noble families gather here.

Yuan Kui stood in the middle of the crowd and shouted: "Now the yellow turban is raging, everywhere I go, kill the wealthy family, open the granary, and want to shake the foundation of my family. ”

All the forces in the world have poured out, and the eunuchs and relatives who once fought with each other, the powerful families who stayed out of the matter, and the royal nobles who supported the army and respected themselves are now united, just to exterminate the mighty Yellow Turban Army.

Because no matter how they fought each other before, they were all their own gains and losses, and now the small people who have been despised by them have risen up to resist, which means that everyone's interests have been damaged and have to be removed.

It's just that everything is arranged, and after the Yellow Turban Army will surely perish, Emperor Han Ling sat alone in the palace, quietly stroking the jade seal in his hand, and his thoughts flew wildly.

That night, Emperor Ling changed into a civilian clothes, climbed out of the palace wall, Pegasus came to a hut in a village on the outskirts of Luoyang, knocked lightly on the door, and shouted: "Master Lu! ”

Lu Zhi, who was sleeping in the house, suddenly heard a familiar voice, and hurriedly got up and opened the door in surprise.

"Your Majesty! How did you get here? ”

"It's okay," Liu Hong looked at his young teacher and smiled lightly, "It's just that I'm a little bored in my heart, you also know that there is no one in the palace who can talk to each other, and they can only have fun together." Hehe, if you think about it, I can only come here to talk to you. How is Lu Shi doing lately? ”

Lu Zhi beckoned Emperor Ling into the house and replied, "Hehe, it's okay. The old minister bought a few acres of land, took in some children during the famine a few years ago, and now, as he said to His Majesty when he was old, he taught the children to read and write every day, and he enjoyed it. ”

"Oh?" Liu Hong said in surprise, "It's a great blessing that these children can be taken in by you and taught every day." In the future, I will definitely promise to be a high-ranking official......"

Liu Hong's expression darkened: "If I am still in power." ”

Lu Zhi didn't speak, just smiled awkwardly, and led Liu Hong to sit down on a stone bench in the garden of the back room.

"Your Majesty must be tired when the starry night comes, the old minister will go and get a few side dishes."

Liu Hong laughed: "Cook another pot of wine." ”

Lu Zhi returned to the house to prepare for food, and Liu Hong stayed in the courtyard to quietly enjoy the night view of the garden. In fact, the garden was not deliberately planted with any flowers and plants, just an ordinary field that had been pruned, and there was a faint sense of gloom in the hazy moonlight.

The night wind suddenly rose, a chill swept through the garden, Liu Hong shivered, the weeds in the courtyard danced gently with the cold wind, and the branches of the dwarf trees swayed freely, although the black sky covered all the night scenes, but Liu Hong still felt a trace of rare peace, which was more warm and safe than the life in the palace, but it was too rare.

"Your Majesty, I've been waiting for a long time." Lu Zhi came out with a dinner plate, lit the stove, put on the stand, and hung a pot of wine.

Liu Hong quietly watched Lu Zhi's movements, and suddenly asked, "Does Master Lu think I should be a good emperor?" ”

Lu Zhi's hand stiffened, and some of the wine jug was sprinkled on his hand.

"Your Majesty, this ...... Just like back then, the old minister didn't dare to say it. ”

Liu Hong smiled a little nostalgically and said, "Teacher, there are three thousand seven hundred and forty palaces in this Han Imperial Palace, but none of the three thousand seven hundred palaces have rock sugar gourds in any palace. Can't you even have a friend now? ”

Lu Zhi said: "Your Majesty, the emperor should not have friends. ”

"Isn't it okay for a bad emperor?"

Lu Zhi said, "But we all want you to be a good emperor. ”

Liu Hong smiled lightly: "You guys? Ha, who are you? ”

Lu Zhi said: "The first emperor, the old minister, the people of the world. ”

"Great!" The smile on Liu Hong's face became brighter and brighter, but it seemed to hide something cold: "There is no one by my side." ”

Lu Zhi: "......"

Liu Hong scooped up the wine in the pot and put it into his bowl, glanced at the scenery in the distance, and drank the boiled wine in the bowl in one gulp: "The court has always been a struggle between eunuchs and relatives, and the scholars do not help each other, and you also know these things, Master Lu." ”

"It is not a day or two or two people who can destroy a dynasty, even if he is the emperor."

"But I don't mean to excuse myself, I really am not a good emperor."

Lu Zhi habitually wanted to say something to comfort Liu Hong: "Your Majesty ......"

Liu Hong waved his hand to signal Lu Zhi not to make a sound, and took out a cylindrical paper tube from his arms.

"I've invented a lot of new toys in the palace, if you want to talk about your favorite thing, this cigarette roll is one, do you want to give it a try?"

Lu Zhi looked at the cigarette roll that Liu Hong said: "Cut the tobacco leaves into shreds and wrap them in paper?" ”

"You have to dry it first." Liu Hong said.

Lu Zhi said: "I remember that there was this tobacco in the old Han Dynasty, and it burned like fire in the chest of the smoke, and it hurt the lungs for a long time, but the severe cold in Shuobei and the humid land in Yizhou used it to keep out the cold and drive away the tide, what is the use of your majesty's food?" ”

"Hehe, this will only be known after Master Lu has used it."

"The old minister's health is declining, not to mention the use of paper rolls, it is really extravagant, I am afraid that I will not be blessed to enjoy it."

Liu Hong smiled slightly, didn't force it, put the cigarette in his hand close to the fire and lit it, and took a deep puff.

"Master Lu, have you heard of Zhang Jiao of the Taiping Sect?"

"But I have heard of it."

"So what about Zhang Jiao leading the sect to follow Chen Sheng and Wu Guang's example?"

"I've heard of it too."

Liu Hong smiled: "I thought that this big man would not die in my hands!" ”

Lu Zhi hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, why did you say this, although the old minister was reckless, he could also see that this Yellow Turban Army would be defeated. ”

Liu Hong took another puff and exhaled a puff of white smoke.

"It doesn't matter, it's not Chen Sheng and Wu Guang, isn't there still Xiang Yu Gaozu?"

"Your Majesty is cautious!" Lu Zhi was shocked, didn't this mean that the Han dynasty was also a rebellion.

Liu Hong waved his hand: "It's okay, it's okay!" Anyway, I'm a faint king, and even the most ridiculous remarks can be said. ”

Lu Zhi was speechless.

Liu Hong smoked the cigarette in his hand, raised his head and drank the wine in the bowl, he didn't know that it was smoke, nor did he know that it was strong wine, and his eyes were covered with a layer of mist.

Liu Hong looked straight at Mrs. Lu, who was also a teacher and friend when he was a child, with the mist in his eyes, and told the story of the depression in his heart:

"I remember when I was young, my father asked Master Lu to teach us brothers what 'the way of the emperor lies in weighing' and so on. It stands to reason that it is normal for a normal prince to learn these things, and of course, it is normal for a young prince not to want to learn these things, and you don't care too much, just continue to teach. Later, the other brothers slowly resisted their desire to play, and continued to learn with you, which is indeed the path that a normal prince should take. But at that time, there was a prince who was holding his clay figurine, how the queen mother beat him, and how the palace maid persuaded him, he just didn't want to enter your class. Later, you gave him a rock sugar gourd in return for studying hard so that you would not be punished by your father. ”

"It's just that one day later, I listened to Lu Shi's talk about the common people in the world, the common people. I know that there are hundreds of rivers, thousands of strange peaks, and thousands of scenery in the world. ”

"At that time, I was excited to think that it would be nice to see it with my own eyes! Not only me, but also my royal brothers, several royal brothers, they all thought about it, but then the youngest brother opened his mouth and shattered our illusions: 'Don't think about it, our whole lives are destined to be spent in all kinds of palaces. ’”

"Then we all beat him up."

"Then, the eldest brother said first: 'It's okay, this is what you look like as a prince, and it's actually the same when you get used to it.'" Then the other brothers also compromised, they said to adapt to this society, don't let society adapt to you. ”

Speaking of this, Liu Hong smiled, "What I was thinking at the time was that I couldn't beat all of them. ”

But Lu Zhi was full of bitterness and couldn't laugh.

"But I had a kind of pursuit of the outside world in my heart, and I escaped from the palace again and again, and was caught and punished again and again. Once he was almost beaten to death by his father. ”

"My brother came to laugh at me, called me stupid, said I was too naïve and immature. At that time, they had already begun to plan for the future, hopefully wanting to fight to inherit the throne, and not very good wanting to get a good fief. I'm the only one who is still full of blue sky and green water, obsessed. ”

"Many times I struggled in the dark, and I couldn't stand the fact that I could only sit in the palace and be worshiped like a clay statue for the rest of my life, and since then I have begun to be unruly, thinking that one day I will be divided into fiefs and immediately pass on the throne, and then I will wander the world with gold and silver treasures."

When he got here, Liu Hong's voice was a little choked, and he patted Lu Zhi's shoulder with some pain.

"Teacher, you know that this world is impermanent, the heavens do not fulfill people's wishes, and politics is even more, the general Dou Wu saw that I had no ambitions and was easy to manipulate, so he actually helped me to the throne!"

"I was really desperate that day, and I knew that I was destined to be imprisoned for the rest of my life in the destined destiny of the royal family. How could the other royal brothers know that what they are asking for in every possible way is something that I hate immensely. I hate Dou Wu to death, all because of him. ”

Lu Zhi said: "So you believed that the eunuchs launched the party because of this? ”

"That's right, I've been in touch with Zhang since then. Gradually, I found that although they disturbed the court, they really wanted me to be happy, after all, they all watched me grow up, and I didn't want to be a good emperor in the first place, so I began to slowly learn to be a faint king! Liu Hong smiled proudly.

Lu Zhi listened silently on the side, his face distressed.

Liu Hong spread his hands and sighed at the sky.

"My brother wants supremacy. My brother wants to be glorious for a lifetime. ”

"All I've been asking for all my life is to be free, why is it so difficult!"

Lu Zhi took a deep breath and said, "Your Majesty, because you want to get the most difficult thing to get, you choose the most precious thing of the three." ”

Liu Hong turned around and put his hands on Lu Zhi's shoulders, and said with red eyes: "Master Lu, now that I have finished all the answers, can't you answer that question yet?" After indulging day and night, my body has long since decayed, and I know that my life is not long in coming, can't you put aside your prejudices of status and become a friend of mine? ”

Lu Zhi's lips turned pale, his hands trembled, and he just asked, "The Yellow Turban traitor is close to Si Li, who will Your Majesty send to meet him?" ”

Liu Hong said: "The general He entered Jizhou to fight Zhang Jiao, and Huangfu Song and Zhu Jun attacked Zhang Bao and Zhang Liang. ”

"Your Majesty, the old minister thinks that the general has a special status, so it is better to go back to Luoyang to protect the Jingshi."

"So who can replace He Jin and face Zhang Jiao?"

Liu Hong probably understood that Lu Zhi wanted to change the topic and avoid it, and his deep-rooted loyalty to the monarch made him dare not trespass.

Lu Zhi looked at Liu Hong and knelt on the ground: "Old minister, please fight!" ”

Liu Hong held his mouth and groaned for a long time, but he breathed a sigh as if he had finally let go of his burden.

"Quasi-play!"
