Si Li, Luoyang, which was once said to be a glorious Luoyang City, has been dilapidated, and there are broken walls everywhere. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 Although Dong Zhuo did not burn Luoyang when he retreated, the chaotic soldiers were like bandits, and those Xiliang soldiers were like robbers, taking away all the valuable things in the palace, and as for the things that could not be taken away, they were naturally destroyed.

The original gorgeous palace was ravaged by the rebels, and in addition to the fact that there was no one to maintain it for a long time, it has long been dilapidated to the point of being uninhabitable. At first, when he was just out of the clutches of Li Dao and Guo Yan, Liu Xie was still full of ambition. But after he returned to Luoyang, he was dumbfounded!

You must know that Luoyang is worse than Chang'an, Chang'an was only affected by the rebellious soldiers, but Luoyang was forcibly relocated by Dong Zhuo. Chang'an can be described as ten rooms and nine emptiness, and Luoyang is not even a hundred. In the huge city of Luoyang, there is not a single complete house in sight. Originally, Luoyang had a population of several million, but now there are only a few dozen households left.

Despite the fact that Luoyang was so dilapidated, Liu Xie was still very happy because he was free. In order not to be at the mercy of others, he even decided not to summon the princes to Beijing again. But after only two months, Liu Xie couldn't stand it anymore!

Luoyang is not only dilapidated, but also has nothing to eat! The Manchu ministers, eunuchs, and maids all needed food, and even the soldiers under Yang Feng's command also needed military rations. In the dilapidated Luoyang, where to find the rations of nearly 10,000 people?

In desperation, Liu Xie started the idea of the princes. One after another, the edicts were sent to various places, and although Wang Kuang and Shangdang were too shou Zhang Yang in Hanoi, although they did not mean to welcome the emperor, they sent people to send Su Bao. But what they sent was a drop in the bucket at all!

Seeing that there was really no food in Luoyang, in order not to drag Liu Xie down, Yang Feng led his troops to Yewang to station, and by the way, he got some food to relieve Liu Xie. Yang Feng can ignore the civil and military affairs of the Manchu Dynasty, but he can't ignore Liu Xie, who is the emperor. Of course, that has to be in the case of Yang Feng's spare strength!

Full and hungry, Liu Xie can barely survive, but the civil and military officials, eunuchs, and palace maids of the Manchu Dynasty do not have this treatment. The thousands of people under Yang Feng's command are not enough to eat, how can there be grain and grass to feed these officials and palace maids who only eat idle meals? As a result, the once high-ranking civil and military ministers, eunuchs, and palace maids had to go to collect wood to make a living.

When did the ministers of civil and military affairs, eunuchs, and palace maids ever do the work of picking wood? In addition, Luoyang City is dilapidated, and many people have been injured and killed because of carelessness, and even been bitten by poisonous snakes in the ruins and grass! After a long time, the officials naturally complained.

In Luoyang City, in a fairly complete mansion, Liu Xie was in a meeting with several of his most trusted ministers. It's funny to say that this most complete mansion turned out to be Liu Mansion, that is, Liu Yan's mansion, and the small courtyard where Liu Xie lives now is Liu Zhang's cross-courtyard.

"Your Majesty, Luoyang is broken, and the officials can't support it!" Old Yang Biao has lost his former demeanor, and now he is like an old man in his last years, and the clothes on his body are also shabby. If you don't know him, you might think of him as a beggar. However, although he was very embarrassed, his bearing still did not change in the slightest!

"Master Yang, didn't you say that Cao Ying is loyal and patriotic, and will come to pick up His Majesty?" Dong Cheng still has a lot of troops under his command, and he can usually play some game, he seems to be much more energetic than Yang Biao. It's just that he was pulled out by Yang Biao last time, and he has always been resentful. Seeing that Cao Ying did not come to welcome the emperor as promised, Dong Cheng was always sarcastic about Yang Biao, yin and yang!

Yang Biao is over 70 years old this year, and he doesn't want to fight for power with Dong Cheng and others. If it weren't for Liu Xie's misery, and he saw the Yuan family's disobedience, he would never have taken the initiative to ask for help. Unexpectedly, Dong Cheng was not enough to succeed and more than to lose, and he didn't even have this kind of bearing. In order not to conflict with Dong Cheng, Yang Biao shook his head helplessly.

"Actually, it's no wonder Cao Ying! Who knew that Lu Bu actually ran to attack Yanzhou! If Yanzhou is gone, what will Cao Ying do to serve His Majesty? "Fu Wan is also a national zhang, and he can't let Dong Cheng be too proud. At the same time, he also wanted to win over Yang Biao. You must know that the Yang family has more heritage than the Yuan family. The Yuan family is the third prince of the fourth generation, and the Yang family can be said to be the third prince of the world!

"Humph!" Seeing that Fu finished helping Yang Biao speak, Dong Cheng snorted coldly and stopped talking. Dong Cheng may be able to fight against Fu Wan or Yang Biao alone, but he is by no means the opponent of the two.

"That's it!" Until now, the three important ministers are still arguing, Liu Xie raised his eyebrows slightly, and said very unhappily: "Now it's for you to find a way to get through the difficulties, not to attack each other!" ”

"The ministers know their mistakes!" Seeing that Liu Xie was displeased, the three of them quickly admitted their mistakes!

"Why don't you order Cao Ying to defeat Lu Bu as soon as possible, come to Luoyang to welcome the emperor, and ask the champion Hou for some grain and grass to survive?" Yang Biao doesn't care about power as much as Fu Wan and Dong Cheng, he just wants to be loyal to the Han Dynasty.

"Your Majesty, as the lord of the Great Han, why do you need to ask for the champion Hou? Could it be that His Majesty issued an edict, and Liu Zhang still dared not give it? Dong Cheng spoke out again, but this time he didn't speak, because Yang Biao's words had already threatened Liu Xie's authority!

"Alas!" After taking a deep look at Fu Wan and Dong Cheng, Yang Biao sighed and said: "Your Majesty, forgive the old minister for being incompetent, I really don't know what to do!" Please retire! ”

"That's... Stand down! Liu Xie shook his head helplessly, Dong Cheng and Yang Biao were already at odds, it was already well known.

After Yang Biao left, Dong Cheng said with a shy face: "Why don't you let me go to Chang'an and ask Liu Zhang for grain and grass!" ”

"It's... It's not right! Liu Xie hesitated, his relationship with Liu Zhang has always been bad, God knows if Liu Zhang will give Dong Cheng grain and grass.

"Why not?" Dong Cheng was very puzzled, in his opinion, Liu Zhang, as Emperor Ling's most trusted imperial prince, would naturally support Liu Xie, even if Liu Zhang's relationship with Liu Xie's mother Wang Meiren was not good.

"Then you go ahead and try it!" Liu Xie always can't say that his throne is not right, and his words are not good, Liu Zhang will not admit it! Anyway, if you can't get food and grass, it's not Liu Xie's face that you lose.

"Wechen retires!" Seeing Liu Xie's permission, Dong Cheng immediately prepared to set off. It's not that he is diligent in the king's affairs, but that his family is also out of food! Of course, whether you want to get it or not has to be said.

"Alas!" Looking at the back of Dong Cheng leaving, Liu Xie and Fu Wan glanced at each other and sighed deeply.

From Luoyang to Chang'an, the fast horse is just a day. In order not to fall into his prestige, Dong Cheng put his feet full. Two days later, he arrived in Chang'an. However, after arriving in Chang'an, Dong Cheng was dumbfounded.

Is this still Chang'an City? The dilapidated city wall in Dong Cheng's memory has been completely renewed, and because the material is cement, the new city wall is stronger and more durable than the previous rammed city wall. The head of the city, which was originally only ten zhang, has been increased to twenty zhang. The soldiers patrolling the city wall looked like the elite of a hundred battles, and the armor worn by the soldiers made Dong Cheng a little ashamed.

"Tell your chief to come to me!" The jealous Dong Cheng put up the score of the minister again, but the little pawn at the gate of Chang'an City ignored him!

"Bastard! I am an envoy sent by the imperial court, how dare you be rude? Dong Cheng was so angry that he trembled, and his hand gradually reached the sword on his waist!

"What do you want to do?" A dull voice sounded, and I saw a big man eight feet tall walking out of the darkness of the city gate.

"I'm an angel of the court, they are rude to me, shouldn't they be killed?" Dong Cheng's eyes were almost on top of his head. He always relied on Liu Xie's identity to be powerful, and he didn't want to think that Liu Xie was just a nominal emperor. All along, Liu Xie was just a puppet!

"Angels? Is there a holy decree? If Dong Cheng is polite, Zhao Yun will not embarrass him, after all, Liu Zhang has to make a decision on whether to give grain and grass or not! But Dong Cheng was too arrogant and didn't look at what kind of place this was. Since Liu Zhang handed over Chang'an to Zhao Yun, it was his trust in Zhao Yun, how could Zhao Yun let outsiders be presumptuous in Chang'an and chill the hearts of the soldiers?

"What do you want to do?" Dong Cheng quickly took out a roll of yellow silk from his arms, shook it in front of Zhao Yun and was about to take it back. Who knew that as soon as Zhao Yun stretched out his hand, he snatched the holy decree away.

Zhao Yun glanced at Dong Cheng and said, "Someone!" Take down this madman who is pretending to pass on the Divine Decree! ”

"What?" Dong Cheng was shocked: "This is obviously a true holy decree, you..."

"Really?" Without waiting for Dong Cheng to finish speaking, Zhao Yun shook the yellow silk and said: "All holy decrees must have the mark of the jade seal of the country, you tell me, where is there on this edict?" ”

"I..." Dong Cheng stammered, not knowing how to explain, he couldn't say that the jade seal of the country was lost in the hands of the first emperor.

"Take it! Go to jail! Zhao Yun gave an order, and the pawns who had ignored Dong Chengli pounced like wolves. Dong Cheng's guards wanted to stop it, but the soldiers who protected the city were all tiger guards under Zhao Yun, how could they be compared to those wine bags and rice bags under Dong Cheng's command? Three times five divided by two, Dong Cheng's nose and swollen face were taken down!

"You... Bold..."Although Dong Cheng was tied up with five flowers, he was still insulted.

Zhao Yun shook his head and asked the junior colonel to put Dong Cheng in Chang'an Prison, and he took the holy decree in his hand and found Guo Jia, who was dealing with official business.

"Why is Zilong here?" Seeing Zhao Yun, Guo Jia hurriedly got up. Under normal circumstances, if Zhao Yun is not in a hurry, he will not look for Guo Jia.

Zhao Yun directly handed the holy decree to Guo Jiadao: "Chang'an Liu Xie sent someone to ask for food, and I took it down in the name of Jiaozhao!" ”

"Got it!" Guo Jia smiled: "Dry him for a few days first, and then drive him back!" ”

"It's... Not so good! After all, Liu Xie is the son of the first emperor..."Zhao Yun is loyal and benevolent, although Liu Xie is only a puppet emperor supported by Dong Zhuo, but Liu Xie's royal blood is still there, even if he is the emperor, he deserves his name!"

Guo Jia smiled slightly and said, "Zilong, why should we give our grain and grass to Liu Xie?" Not to mention that it is already a troubled time, even if it is a ruling world, as the lord, he can refuse Liu Xie's unreasonable request. If Liu Xie asked his uncle for grain and grass in the name of his nephew, the lord would naturally want to help. But he was so depressed that he dared to send someone to give an order, don't we need money to buy our grain and grass? You know, this year's locust plague is raging, and there is no place to buy food if you have money! ”

"I'm a general, just fight!" Zhao Yun has never been concerned with intrigue in the court, he only knows that it is right to follow Liu Zhang!
