In the North Palace, Ji Ping and He Hou entered a side hall.

Tang Wan, Liu Xie, Liu Han, Wen Luo and Huo Xiaoyu were all there, and when they saw Ji Ping and He Hou coming in, they hurriedly saluted.

Ji Ping waved his hand, helped He Hou sit down, and looked at the redundant servants on the side guards: "What about Geng Zhong?" ”

"Geng Servant just left the palace." Redundant from busy back.

Ji Ping's complexion changed, how could Geng Zhong leave the palace at this time? Could it be that Geng Zhong has changed, he has seen the wrong person?

It's not that he's sensitive, it's really a critical situation, and there is no room for any mistakes, if something goes wrong with Geng Zhong, then his plans will all be disrupted, and there will be a great crisis immediately!

Now he was deeply frightened of the methods of the scholars, and he would not ignore the fact that most of the top strategists of the Three Kingdoms were from the scholar group.

Ji Ping was in a hurry, and at this moment, Geng Zhong's voice came from outside the hall: "Minister Geng Zhong asks to see His Majesty." ”

He suddenly breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, and hurriedly said, "Come in quickly." ”

The door of the hall opened, and it was Geng Zhong who came in, but there was another person who came in with Geng Zhong, wearing armor, and fell to the ground as soon as he came in: "The last general Zhang Liao visited the Queen Mother, Your Majesty." ”

"Wenyuan!" Ji Ping was overjoyed, and helped people up, but it wasn't Zhang Liao.

Zhang Liao was much more mature than last time, his face was full of dust, and he said respectfully: "The Queen Mother, Your Majesty, the last general has been ordered by His Majesty, leading 500 soldiers, 200 vehicles and ships, in the name of recruiting troops to return to Beijing, waiting in Xiaopingjin Pass. ”

Ji Ping breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Not bad, not bad, Wenyuan is doing a good job." ”

Zhang Liao's military ship is in place, and there is basically no problem for him to escape this time.

Geng Zhong also said respectfully: "Your Majesty, the minister has complied with His Majesty's order, and ordered the Yellow Gate to withdraw from the eunuchs and palace maids who had nothing to rely on in the South Palace to the North Palace, and now the people who are resisting the palace gate in the South Palace are all Zhang Rang and Zhao Zhong's cronies, but there are still some eunuchs who are afraid of the Ten Standing Attendants, and they flee in panic, and it is difficult to retract for a while." ”

Ji Ping nodded, and couldn't help but sigh: "It's a pity that although I am the Son of Heaven, I let the evil eunuchs run rampant, and the scholars calculated, and now the general has been killed." ”

Everyone couldn't help but exclaim, although with Ji Ping's explanation, they had expected a big change, but the death of the general He Jin was still beyond their expectations.

Ji Ping said gloomily: "The dead are gone, we can only try our best to protect the living, and the ten permanent servants are evil, but many eunuchs and palace maids in the palace are just people with hard lives, they are engaged in the hardest and dirtiest work, and they have paid a lot for the royal family in obscurity, so we can help some." ”

He instructed Geng Zhong: "Tell those eunuchs and palace maids again, there will be a great disaster in the palace, and those who have a place to go will go out of the palace to hide, and if there is nowhere to go and are willing to follow us, they must be taken to Hedong County to settle down." Remember, let them not pack up any gold, silver, soft or anything like that, but bring some dry food, medicinal herbs, etc., to save their lives at critical times. ”

After that, he turned his head to look at the pale He Hou and the others, and said: "Queen Mother, there have been great changes in the palace, now that the general has been killed, Dong Zhuo will soon enter Beijing, this guy has always had a heart of disobedience, we need to hide for the time being, and come back when the situation is clear." ”

Tang Wan and the others had already known in advance, but when the matter came, they were still pale, but He Hou said categorically: "I won't leave, I will stay in the palace, you go first." ”

Ji Pingden was a little anxious: "Queen Mother, it's too dangerous to stay in the palace, hide first, we will come back." ”

He never thought of coming back, and at this time, the situation was urgent, so he hid it from his mother first. Otherwise, if the mother stays, it will definitely be impossible to escape death, not to mention Dong Zhuo from afar, and the two brothers Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu are likely to be blackmailed.

He Hou resolutely said: "I will die in the palace if I die!" ”

At this moment, there were faint shouts and cries outside the North Palace.

Ji Ping gritted his teeth, forcibly picked up He Hou, and shouted: "Let's go." ”

Unexpectedly, He Hou suddenly pulled out the hairpin on his head, put it on his neck, and said sharply: "If the emperor forces me again, I can only die." ”

Tang Wan and Liu Han couldn't help but exclaim, and Ji Ping also froze there.

He reluctantly put down He Hou, took away He Hou's hairpin, and was about to persuade again, when a voice suddenly came from outside the door: "Queen Mother, Your Majesty, Geng Servant Shooting, the thieves outside the palace broke through the Nangong Qingzuo Gate, and they are killing wildly, Zhang let them retreat from the South Palace and rush towards the North Palace." ”

Ji Ping was taken aback, took a deep breath, and said decisively: "Wenyuan, Geng Zhong, you take them first, and the queen mother and I stay." ”

In history, the ten permanent servants were able to escape to Xiaopingjin under the condition that Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu brothers surrounded the palace, and there must be their way, but now why not leave, he can only gamble, and after a while, he pretends to be a hostage of the ten permanent servants, and escapes with the ten permanent servants.

"Majesty!" Hearing that Ji Ping was going to stay with Queen He, everyone couldn't help but exclaim.

"The emperor can't." He Hou strongly objected.

Tang Wan bit her lip: "Your Majesty is not leaving, the concubine has to accompany Her Majesty and live and die together." ”

Wen Luo and Huo Xiaoyu hurriedly nodded in agreement.

"I wish to live and die with His Majesty!" The crowd drank together.

Zhang Liao said sonorously: "Your Majesty, when the last general and Geng Servant take the opportunity to kill the ten permanent servants, it will not be too late for us to leave." ”

Ji Ping was quite moved in his heart, but this was not the time to be enthusiastic and willful, he shook his head: "Now that the shape is chaotic, and the Yuan Shao brothers are outside the palace with their troops, it is futile to kill the ten permanent attendants, and it will only delay time." ”

After looking at He, there was a hint of helplessness in his eyes, he grabbed Tang Wan, kissed her forehead gently, and said, "Wan'er, listen to me, and Wen Yuan and Geng Zhong not only take you out, but also many innocent eunuchs and palace maids in the palace, can you bear to let them all be killed by the rebels?" ”

Knowing his wife Mo Ruofu, he knew that Tang Wan was kind-hearted, and he hit her weakness in one fell swoop.

Sure enough, hearing what Ji Ping said, Tang Wan bit her lip tightly and turned pale.

Ji Ping hugged her, looked at Wen Luo, Huo Xiaoyu, Liu Xie and Liu Han, and said angrily: "Don't worry, Yiqiqi has already planned, I and the queen mother will be fine, you leave first, and the ten permanent servants will also escape from the palace, and they will definitely take me and the queen mother with them at that time." ”

Turning his head to look at Zhang Liao and Geng Zhong, he whispered, "Why don't you take them away?" Remember not to stay in Koheijin and cross the river. ”

Zhang Liao hesitated for a moment and said: "Your Majesty, when the last general returned to Luoyang, he passed the Xiaopingjin Pass on the grounds of recruiting troops and handing over orders, and now there are many eunuchs and palace maids accompanying him, and I am afraid that I will forcibly attack the key problems when I go out again." ”

"Let the eunuchs and palace maids change into ordinary clothes." Ji Ping took out an edict from his arms and said: "These are two secret edicts, one is for Xiaoping Jin to let the guards go, if the guards do not obey the edicts, they will adapt to the situation!" The other is to take root in Dongyuan County, and local officials are not allowed to interfere. ”

In the past two months, he has made a lot of preparations in the palace, all for today.

"By the way, do you know the future calendar of Koheimatsu?" Ji Ping suddenly thought of Yuan Shao's group of scholars, and couldn't help but ask again, if the general of Xiaoping Jin is on the side of the scholars, it is likely that he needs to force his move.

Zhang Liao groaned: "The last general only knows the name of the guard general...... Tang Fang"

"Ahh On the side, Tang Wan suddenly exclaimed.

Seeing everyone staring at her, Tang Wan's pale face flushed, and she said embarrassedly: "The concubine is rude, but the name of this guard is like the eldest brother of the concubine......

Ji Ping's eyes lit up, and then He Hou spoke: "This Tang Fang should be Wan'er's brother, I heard the general mention it." ”

Tang Wan's mouth opened wide in shock, but Ji Ping couldn't help but smile and said: "It's so good, it's really heaven's help, Wan'er, it's all up to you this time." ”

Tang Wan gritted her teeth and said: "The concubine listens to His Majesty, but if His Majesty is ...... That concubine will never live alone. ”

Ji Ping gently scratched her little nose and said with a smile: "I am the son of heaven, and I have the protection of God, how can there be anything." ”

Wen Luo pounced on Ji Ping and hugged Ji Ping tightly, whimpering: "Your Majesty, take care." ”

Ji Ping nodded, looking at Wen Luo, a complicated look flashed in his eyes, if Wen Luo was Yuan Shao's insider, would she expose Zhang Liao and the others to Yuan Shao?

But let him leave Wen Luo behind, but he couldn't pass this pass in his heart.

He glanced at Geng Zhong, and Geng Zhong said in a low voice: "Your Majesty, rest assured, the ministers should protect the Tang nobles and the literary beauties, stay in October, take twenty redundant elites, and take care of the Queen Mother and His Majesty, in case the ten permanent servants have the intention of rebellion, and Pan Yin also insists on staying." ”

Ji Ping saw that Geng Zhong's voice was slightly heavy when he talked about Wen Meiren, and knew that he understood what he meant, so he nodded and instructed: "The shape is urgent, don't delay, get out of the palace." ”

Watching everyone leave, Ji Ping looked at Queen He, sighed, and said with a wry smile: "Queen Mother, why are you doing this?" ”

There was a bit of complaint in his voice, he could have escaped smoothly, but how did he know what happened to him.

He Hou's eyes were red and swollen, and he gritted his teeth and said: "The Han Dynasty has been established for four hundred years, the people's hearts are attached, although there is chaos in the palace, although Yuan Shao has the heart of rebellion, but the scholars love reputation the most, they must not dare to act rashly, there are still people who support the Han family in the court, I expect that Dong Zhuo will be arbitrary, and he will not dare to usurp the throne and stand on his own." But if I and the emperor are not there, I am afraid that Dong Zhuo will appoint someone else as the emperor from the Han family. ”

Speaking of this, Empress He's expression was firm: "With me here, I must prevent them from setting up a new emperor, that is, the eldest brother was killed, and the second brother He Miao, the general of the chariot cavalry, can secretly unite with the courtiers and drive away Dong Zhuo, and the emperor will still be the son of heaven." ”

Listening to Empress He's words, Ji Ping, who was originally full of complaints, suddenly choked, and his eyes couldn't help but be hot.

It turned out that He Hou was willing to take risks, just to protect his throne and life.

Perhaps in history, it was because of this idea that Empress He broke free from Duan Jue when she passed through the pavilion road between the north and south palaces, and jumped off the air pavilion road more than one zhang high regardless of a qiē.

"Queen Mother," Ji Ping grabbed He Hou's hand tightly: "The child doesn't want to be the emperor, our family escapes from the palace and lives a peaceful life?" Why the intrigue of imperial power? ”

Empress He sighed and said faintly: "The emperor's thinking is too simple, how can the affairs of the palace be so simple, even if we escape, and then a new emperor ascends the throne, he will send orders to the prefectures and counties, and the whole world will ask to hunt us down, and when the time comes, we will be frightened, and sooner or later we will die." ”

Ji Ping was silent, unable to object. Xun You once said that in the troubled times, as the Son of Heaven, if he occupies an important place in Guanzhong to compete for the world, once his identity is exposed, he will become the target of public criticism. The same is true of the historical emperor Liu Xie, who was successively controlled by warlords such as Dong Zhuo, Li Dao, and Guo Yan, and then Cao Cao, who was a puppet for a lifetime.

In terms of imperial power and palace fighting, He Hou did see it more thoroughly than him.

"As long as you escape, you will have a chance, it is better than being poisoned by those soldiers and Dong Zhuo, and we will escape with the Ten Standing Servants in a while! When the time comes, kill the ten permanent servants, disguise us to jump into the river and die, and self-energy golden cicadas can get out of their shells and live a stable life. Ji Ping gritted his teeth and said, there is still a chance of life if he escapes, and he can only die if he stays.

He Hou just shook his head and said nothing.
