Both of them listened to their advice, so the officials and the people in the palace let them go. This year*, the common people ate dates, and people starved to death everywhere. Hanoi Taishou Zhang Yang offered rice and meat, and Hedong Taishou Wangyi offered silk silk, and the emperor gradually got peace.

Dong Cheng and Yang Feng discussed, while sending people to repair the Luoyang Palace, to return to Luoyang by the emperor. Lee was not happy to listen.

Dong Cheng said to Li Le: "Luoyang is the place where the Son of Heaven built the capital, and Anyi is a small ground, how can he serve the emperor?" Now it is correct to return to Luoyang by car. ”

Li Le said: "You go by car, I will only block them here." ”

Dong Cheng and Yang Feng set off on their way. Li Le secretly made people unite with Li Xuan and Guo Yan to coerce the emperor together. Dong Cheng, Yang Feng, and Han Xian knew his plan, and arranged soldiers overnight to escort the car to Jiguan.

Li Le knew, and without waiting for Li Hire and Guo Yanjun to arrive, he personally led the men and horses of his headquarters to chase after him. Around the fourth watch, he rushed to the foot of Kei Mountain and shouted: "The emperor is on leave!" Li Hi and Guo Yan are here! ”

Besides, Li Le led the army to pretend to be Li Xuan and Guo Yan to chase the emperor, and the Son of Heaven was surprised.

Yang Feng said: "This is Li Le. So he ordered Xu Huang to come out to meet him.

Li Le personally went to the battle. The two horses intersected, only one was together, and Xu Huang was cut under the horse with an axe, killing Li Le's soldiers and horses to protect the emperor through the Kei Pass.

Taishou Zhang Yang Gu Su Silk greeted the emperor in Yidao. The emperor named Zhang Yang as the Great Sima.

Zhang Yang left the emperor and went to garrison troops elsewhere. Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty entered Luoyang and saw that the palace was burned down, the streets were barren, the eyes were full of artemisia grass, and only the collapsed walls in the palace courtyard collapsed. Ordered Yang Bong to live in the small palace. Hundreds of officials congratulated, but they all stood among the thorns.

The edict was changed to Xingping for the first year of Jian'an. This year there was another great famine. There are only a few hundred residents in Luoyang, and they have nothing to use as food, so they all go out of the city to peel tree bark and dig grass roots to eat.

Shang Shulang and below, all went out of the city to chop wood by themselves, and many died between the collapsed walls. The decline of the late Han Dynasty.

Later generations have a poem that sighs: "The blood flows and the white snake of Mangdang Mountain perished, and the red flag travels in all directions." Qin Lu overturned the country, and Chu Ya pushed down the border. The cowardice and treachery of the Son of Heaven arises, and his complexion withers and thieves are crazy. Seeing the place where the two capitals were in distress, people were terrified without tears! ”

Taiwei Yang Biao reported to Emperor Yang and said: "The former Mongolian edict was never sent. Now Cao Cao is in Shandong, and the soldiers are strong, and he can be declared into the court to assist the royal family. ”

At this time, Li Shiqi jumped to oppose and said: "Cao Cao, when he was young, he was evaluated as a hero in troubled times, and now Cao Cao is already in Sili, and he fought with Lu Bu before, and Cao Cao was able to save Sili, but Cao Cao is also in a hurry now, and he can't take care of us for a while." However, if we summon Cao Cao into the capital, and I, Luoyang, am within Si Li's sphere of influence, who dares to guarantee that Cao Cao is not the next Dong Zhuo! ”

Yang Biao had nothing to say, and Emperor Han Xian was already an adult at this moment, and he remembered the fear of being dominated by Dong Zhuo back then. Then he said: "What Li Aiqing said is extreme, it is extreme!" Let's discuss this matter again! ”

Yang Biao couldn't speak, and at this moment, another minister jumped out and said: "Now that Luoyang has been partially repaired, it is now a disaster and famine, not to mention that the people are hungry and have nothing to eat, so they all go to dig tree roots to eat." Even the princes and ministers have eaten the last meal and have not eaten the next meal! And now it's Your Majesty, and Your Majesty also eats thick noodles! ”

At this time, a Huangmen official suddenly came in outside the city to report and said, "Your Majesty, now there is an envoy from the Han Hussar General Xue Rengui outside. ”

Emperor Han Xian said: "The envoy of the hussar general, how many people have come?" ”

The Yellow Gate Officer replied, "There are about thousands of people. ”

Li Shiqi said: "At the beginning, I knew the strength of the Hussar General's Xue family's army, if there were thousands of people, even if it attacked our dilapidated Luoyang City, I am afraid that it would be just around the corner!" ”

Emperor Han Xian was shocked and said, "Impossible! Xue Aiqing is a loyal minister of the Great Han! He...... He still has the whip given by the previous emperor to beat the king, how can he rebel! ”

Li Shiqi asked the Yellow Gate official again: "Xue Rengui's envoy, that is, Xue Rengui didn't come, right?" Who is the leader? ”

The Huangmen official replied: "The banner that takes the lead is the 'Zhou' flag. ”

Li Shiqi said to Emperor Han Xian: "Your Majesty, please rest assured, if he comes to attack my Luoyang City, even if Xue Rengui himself does not come in person, at least he has to send a general to come, as far as I know, the generals under Xue Rengui who can stand alone are Luo Cheng, Qin Qiong, Luo Yi, Zhao Yun, Zhang Fei, Tai Shici and others, now since it is a surname Zhou, I am afraid that he did not come to attack Luoyang City." ”

Emperor Han Xian breathed a sigh of relief and said, "I know that Xue Aiqing is a loyal minister of the Han Dynasty!" However, does Lord Li know what Xue Aiqing's envoy means? ”

Li Shiqi said: "Your Majesty, Wechen is ashamed, please forgive Your Majesty, Wechen doesn't know." ”

Yang Feng said beside him: "In this case, Your Majesty, it is better to invite them in, since people have no malice, we are not good at hanging others." "Actually, Yang Feng still hasn't said a word, if people have malicious intentions, they would have attacked the city a long time ago, and they can still let you talk calmly here?

Emperor Han Xian said: "It's the pole, it's the pole, come here!" Go and invite Xue Aiqing's messenger in for me~! ”

The Yellow Gate official replied and said, "No." And he went out.

After a while, the Yellow Gate official outside the main hall shouted: "The envoy of the Great Han Hussar General is here!" ”

Emperor Han Xian looked over and saw a handsome and dashing, dignified-looking white-faced scholar, but he was dressed in a heavy Kai.

The man said: "Under the command of the general of the Han Hussars, Captain Zhou Qing, meet Your Majesty, and may my emperor live long." ”

Emperor Han Xian said: "Xue Aiqing, why did you send so many troops here, what does this mean?" ”

Zhou Qing said: "Please forgive your majesty!" ”

As soon as Zhou Qing finished speaking, the cold sweat on Emperor Han Xian's forehead came out, and he said, "It's okay, I forgive you for your innocence, say it." ”

Zhou Qing continued: "Your Majesty My Emperor, my general knows that His Majesty has just escaped from the tiger's mouth of Guo Yan and Li Xuan, and he wanted to come to see His Majesty in person, but a plague suddenly broke out in Qingzhou, and Qingzhou Thorn Shi had no choice but to ask my general to help, and my general couldn't get out. My general would like to ask His Majesty to move to Yanzhou。。。。。。。 ”

At this time, Yang Feng came out to interrupt Zhou Qing's words and said, "Isn't it that Xue Rengui also wants to learn from Dong Zhuo at the beginning and control Your Majesty!" Isn't it because you want to rebel! ”

Emperor Han Xian also looked at Zhou Qing nervously, as if he wanted to hear Zhou Qing say the word "no". 、

Zhou Qing said unhurriedly: "General Yang, don't worry, and listen to me slowly." ”

Li Shiqi also said: "General, don't worry. ”

Zhou Qing continued: "My general thought again that Luoyang is the capital of the Han Dynasty, how could Your Majesty go to Yanzhou? Therefore, my general specially sent people to send 50,000 loads of grain and grass, as well as 3,000 men and horses recruited in Yuzhou and trained in my Yanzhou, and presented them to His Majesty. ”

Emperor Han Xian said excitedly: "Hahaha, everyone! Ladies and gentlemen! See! See! Xue Aiqing is the loyal minister of my Han, everyone, my Han has General Xue, and Zhongxing is hopeful! Pass on my order and canonize Xue Rengui as the protector of the country! Add the world's soldiers and horses, and be a first-class hussar general! ”

At this time, Yang Biao wanted to dissuade Emperor Han Xian, but Li Shiqi grabbed him and shook his head to signal him not to speak.

Yang Biao also knew that Emperor Han Xian was on the rise now, and it would be counterproductive to try to dissuade him.

At this time, Zhou Qing said: "Your Majesty, the minister still has one thing, which is dedicated to Your Majesty by the order of the Hussar General." "I have to say that Zhou Qing changed his words quite quickly.

Zhou Qing waved his hand again and said, "Present it to Your Majesty." ”

Naturally, at this time, someone gave something to the waiting father-in-law next to Emperor Han Xian, and then gave it to Emperor Han Xian.

Emperor Han Xian asked, "Zhou Aiqing, what is this?" ”

Zhou Qing said: "Your Majesty can guess!" ”

Emperor Han Xian said: "In this, isn't it the jade seal of the country? ”

Zhou Qing thought in his heart: "This emperor's brain is very good!" I know that the jade seal of the country was made to be taken away, but this kind of good thing is left to my eldest brother, and if you want me to give it to you again, it doesn't exist! ”
