Chapter 233: Dong Zhuo is here
Those eunuchs were all stunned when they heard Liu Xie's words, and after a while, they saw that the eunuch headed by them suddenly knelt down in front of the two brothers Liu Wei and Liu Xie, and wept bitterly and said: "Your Majesty, Your Highness, we have served the first emperor for so many years, although we have indeed sought some benefits for ourselves and our families, but we have always been the center of the first emperor, and we have never done anything to be sorry for the first emperor, so the first emperor will entrust you to me before he dies, because the first emperor knows, No matter how greedy we and other eunuchs are, at most they are greedy for some gold and silver treasures, but those scholars are different, if any of them are greedy, it is likely that they are greedy for the Liu family. Now that we have been expelled from the palace and can no longer serve Your Majesty, there is no one around you to trust in the future, and you can only rely on yourself for everything. Following his words, the other eunuchs around him also knelt down in front of Liu Wei and Liu Xie, the king of Chen Liu.
Young Emperor Liu Biao couldn't understand the words of these eunuchs, in his mind, he was the son of heaven of the Han Dynasty, and he should have stayed in the palace for a good time, but he was held hostage by these minions to this wilderness where there was no village in front of the village and no shop in the back, not only starving, but also following them to worry and be afraid, all because of these slaves, so although many of these eunuchs brought him from childhood to adulthood, and he was also his father's closest confidant, but now the young emperor Liu Bian is full of complaints about these people, hearing these words, So he said: "Don't worry, as the son of the Han Dynasty, do those rebels really dare to disrespect me?" Aren't they afraid of exterminating the Nine Clans? For the sake of your many years of taking care of me, I will follow my brother's words and tell those people that you have committed suicide by jumping into the river, and that you will not let others pursue you again. ”
Although Liu Xie knew that what these eunuchs said also made some sense, but in his heart, he also felt that they had said those scholars a little too much, after all, those were well-informed people, and they should not covet the Liu family as they said.
After a short farewell, these eunuchs left Liu Wei, the young emperor of the Han Dynasty, and Liu Xie, the king of Chen Liu, on the bank of the Yellow River, and then crossed the Yellow River by boat, preparing to find a place to live in seclusion, which also meant that the eunuch forces, one of the two major political forces in the Eastern Han Dynasty, officially withdrew from the political arena, and their long-standing rival camp of relatives also declined rapidly with the death of He Jin.
When those eunuchs disappeared into the Yellow River, Liu Wei and Liu Xie's little brothers finally breathed a sigh of relief, and Liu Wei said to Liu Xie with relief: "They are finally gone, we can finally return to the palace, hey, brother, do you still know the way back?" ”
Liu Xie looked around, scratched his head, and replied with some uncertainty: "If it was during the day, there should be no problem, but Brother Emperor, I think the most worrying problem we should be most worried about now is that they didn't leave us horses when they left, and at the speed of the two of us, it will take at least a few days to return to Luoyang, and we have no food at all, or we will be too hungry to walk." ”
Only then did Liu Wei realize that their current situation was not good, and said with an anxious expression: "These damn minions don't even leave us with anything, and they say that they are loyal to us, I think they are all chaotic ministers and thieves, and when I return to Luoyang, I must let people trace their whereabouts and settle accounts with them!" ”
Liu Xie, who was less than ten years old, was much calmer than his brother, only to see him stand up and pat the dirt on his body and say to Liu Wei: "Brother, it's not a way to wait here, let's hurry back, I hope to meet some soldiers as soon as possible, let them send us to Luoyang, return to Luoyang as soon as possible, and we can suffer less crimes." ”
Liu Wei has long missed the luxury in the Luoyang Palace, and now after listening to his younger brother Liu Xie's words, he couldn't wait to go back, and immediately agreed, so the little brothers supported each other and walked back.
At this time, Wen Min knew that it should be time for him to show up, and if it was too late, if the other princes rushed to see the young emperor in front of him, the credit for escorting him would be much smaller.
So Wen Min rode a dragon horse and landed on the road in front of them, and then pretended to have just arrived to look north, and after a while he appeared in front of the two brothers, Liu Wei and Liu Xie.
Seeing Wenmin suddenly appeared in front of them, Liu Wei and Liu Xie were very surprised, they thought that Wenmin was a chaser, but they didn't expect to catch up so soon, but when Wenmin reported their identities, Liu Wei and Liu Xie were even more surprised: "It turns out that you are Yun Zehou?" I heard my father once talk about you, weren't you named Wuling Taishou? How did it end up here? Liu Xie asked in surprise after listening to Wenmin's self-introduction.
Wenmin looked at Liu Xie, who looked like a full Zhengtai, this is the future Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty, although he has always been a puppet in the hands of Dong Zhuo and Cao ** in history, and finally the Han Dynasty, which has been inherited for hundreds of years, has finally ended in his hands, but he is the king of the fallen country with the least negative evaluation in history, because the demise of the Han Dynasty should not be his responsibility at all, and it can even be said that if it were not for him, the Eastern Han Dynasty would definitely end more than twenty years earlier.
Wen Min replied: "I heard that there was a ** in Luoyang, as a Han courtier, no matter what position I am in, I have an unshirkable responsibility, so I came to take a look, when I was in Luoyang City, I overheard someone see those eunuchs holding you hostage and fleeing to the north, so I chased it all the way, but I didn't expect it to be really found by me." How's it going, hungry? I've got some food here, so fill your stomach first. As he spoke, Wen Min took out some food from the storage ring and handed them to Liu Wei and Liu Xie.
Liu Wei and Liu Xie seemed to be hungry, as soon as they saw the food, they didn't bother to ask Wenmin how he came from, and immediately devoured it, and after a while, Wenmin saw that they were finally full, so he continued: "It's not safe in the wilderness here, let's hurry away and strive to return to Luoyang as soon as possible." ”
Although Liu Wei and Liu Xie are noble, they are no different from ordinary children at this time, and can only let Wenmin call the shots, Wenmin helped the two brothers to Ryoma, originally thought that they needed to discuss with Ryoma, but they didn't want to fight When Wenmin hugged the two little brothers on horseback, Ryoma didn't have a reaction to resist at all, and there was a little bit of a very welcoming look.
There is no doubt about the comfortable surname of the dragon horse, you can't feel a little bump when you ride on it, and the young emperor Liu Wei, who was tired and worried for a day, even dozed off on horseback, but his younger brother Liu Xie has always been vigilant, not only vigilant about the movements around him, but even faintly wary of Wenmin, although Wenmin is an official of the Han family, but after so many changes, he no longer knows who can be trusted, so he is like a frightened deer and wary of everyone around him.
They didn't go far back, Wen Min saw a force coming towards them from a distance, Wen Min knew from the huge number of cavalry that it was definitely not his Yun Ze army's troops, Yun Ze Army could not have so many cavalry, and then Wen Min saw a big "Dong" word from the banner of this army, the origin of this army was about to come out, Dong Fat Man really came! They are the Xiliang Iron Riders!
This cavalry force of hundreds of thousands of people did not slow down after seeing the three of them, but rushed in front of them and surrounded them.
Liu Wei, the young emperor of the Han Dynasty, had long been frightened by this sudden murderous force, his body couldn't help but tremble, his eyes were closed, and he didn't even dare to look at the soldiers around him who were holding shiny blades.
After a while, when this army finally settled down, the soldiers who surrounded them in front of Wenmin split their way out, and then they saw Dong Zhuo walking in front of them with a big belly and shaking under the support of a group of generals, and first greeted Wenmin with a big smile: "Yo, isn't this Yun Zehou?" Let's meet again! I heard that the emperor is also with you? As he spoke, he turned to the two little brothers on the horse and asked, "Which of the two of you is Your Majesty?" (To be continued.) )
