Chapter 181: Old Stories of the DPRK and China (1)
Cai Yong continued: "The housekeeper asked me: 'Who is in command of these guards?' I replied: 'It was led by Taiwei Huangfu Song before, but half a month ago, Dong Zhuo, the Taishou of Liangzhou, reported to the imperial court, and the Qiang people had an abnormality, and he was worried that he would not be able to deal with it, so he asked the imperial court to lead the 40,000 guards of the imperial court to go to defense, so Huangfu Song led the troops to the battle. Therefore, the remaining guards of less than 10,000 in the city are temporarily led by Zhang Rang, the head of the ten permanent servants. ’”
"The butler shouted, and his face turned even paler: 'Could it be that Zhang Rang made a rebellion, killed the emperor, and then created chaos in Luoyang, in a vain attempt to eradicate dissidents and control the government himself?' I was taken aback by him, and after thinking about it, I felt that it was unlikely. The emperor favors the ten permanent servants, and his status in the court is extremely respectful, these things are known to the court, and the ministers of the court have long looked at them unpleasantly. They will not be stupid enough to destroy the big tree, even if they really try to control the government in vain, not to mention that the ministers ignore him, with the more than 10,000 guards in their hands, they can eradicate him without much effort when Huangfu Song returns. ”
"Although I had doubts, I saw that there was chaos in Luoyang City, so I had to tell the housekeeper to put the three-year-old Yan'er in a good farmer's house and hide it. He also ordered the guards in the palace to strengthen their vigilance, and then led dozens of disciples of the Holy Sect to the palace. I didn't dare to let Yan'er stay in the Holy Sect or the Cai Mansion, because I was afraid that once ‖ chaos and changes, the Holy Sect and the mansions of our officials would definitely not be spared. At that time, the eldest brother and the third brother went out with Huangfu Song, and I had to bite the bullet. ”
At this time, in front of the palace gate, there was a lot of people, surrounded by a large group of people, and the torches illuminated a large open space in front of the teaching field as if it were day. When I got closer, I saw that a group of officials led by Zhu Jun, Ma Yan, and Yang Biao had already blocked in front of the palace gate, and had been shouting loudly to 'open the door'. It turned out that the palace gate had been tightly closed, and there was a group of fierce guards standing at the door, refusing to open the door for anything. I thought to myself, the emperor has died, and even these important ministers of the court are not allowed to enter, something must be wrong. ”
The two sides were at a stalemate for a while, and the leader of the guard suddenly shouted, and suddenly sacrificed the vein, and the others followed suit. The ministers were immediately furious, and they also sacrificed their veins. Seeing that the battle was about to break out, I was also about to step forward to help, when I suddenly saw Zhu Jun, Ma Yan, and Yang Biao winking at each other, and slowly withdrew from the crowd while they were in chaos. The three of them pulled out a few ministers and whispered something, only to say that these people nodded again and again. Zhu Jun waited for the three of them to finish speaking, and took advantage of the night to retreat, and disappeared in an instant. And the few ministers who were pulled out by them pressed the threads of the people, asked them to put away their pulses, and only reasoned with the guards in front of the palace gate, but did not do anything. At this time, there were more and more officials in front of the palace gate, and the number of guards was relatively increased. ”
"I saw that there would be no progress in front of the palace gate for the time being, so I ordered the Holy Sect disciples who followed me to secretly protect those ministers, while I took the three strongest disciples and followed the path of Zhu Jun and the three to see what their plans were. The three of them were notoriously loyal ministers, who came to their aid when needed. We followed all the way and gradually caught up with the three of them. Maybe they were so anxious that they didn't notice us at all. They kept walking around the high walls of the palace, suddenly
Ran stopped, observed the surrounding situation, and flashed into an alley in the West City next to it. They walked a little more and jumped into a hut. I took my three disciples, and I didn't dare to breathe on the roof, watching the three of them enter the hut and do something. ”
I saw that the three men came to the front yard of the hut and jumped into an ancient well one after another, but there was no sound at all. After waiting for a while, it was still quiet below, and we jumped down and looked around the ancient well. It turned out that Gujing had dug a tunnel in the middle, so it was no wonder that there was no sound when the three of them jumped down. I decided to go down and find out, while the three disciples were still on the roof. The tunnel was damp and smelled of mold. The inside is also very narrow, and only one person can pass through, let alone turn. It was eerily quiet, and all I could hear was my own panting, the sound of my clothes rubbing against the floor. ”
Cai Yong suddenly stopped talking, his dry lips, and gasped harder, as if he still couldn't forget that anxious and cramped heart.
"The tunnel wasn't too long, and it was slowly ascending, and the direction was obviously the palace. I used my hands and feet together, and after a hurry, about a cup of tea, I suddenly heard the sound of a fight coming from above, so I quickened my pace. At the end of the tunnel is a square wooden cover, I gently open a crack, only to see a few flower pots scattered next to it, I look around, it turns out that this is the emperor's back garden. ”
"I looked out, and there were a dozen figures, standing or lying in front of me. A little farther away, surrounded by more than a dozen figures, there were about twenty masked people in black clothes and black pants, who had already sacrificed their veins in their hands, and looked at the people in front of them motionlessly, exuding a cold and murderous aura. When I looked at it, I was amazed: most of these people were about four or five rank pulse masters...... That was eight years ago, when I was only a fourth-rank vein master, and any one of the men in black could kill me. Seeing this, although I was worried about the situation outside, I could only lie motionless at the entrance of the tunnel and dare not make a sound. ”
Zhu Jun, Ma Yan, Yang Biao and the other three stood side by side in front, as if they were blocking something with their bodies, and when they looked at their watches, they were all angry and sad. In front of them, there was one kneeling and four standing. I looked at it, and the kneeling figure was slightly fat, with half a hundred hair, and it turned out to be Zhang Rang. Since he had his back to me, I couldn't see his watch clearly, so I heard him tremble and say, 'Your Majesty, the old slave is late, you ...... Is the dragon body healthy?' As he spoke, he cried, as if he was talking to Zhu Jun and the others. Zhu Jun took a step forward, and said with a split eye: "Okay, you eunuch, you actually hurt Your Majesty like this, and you still have a face to behave here?" Yang Biao on the side hurriedly stopped him and said in a deep voice: "Brother Zhu, don't worry, let's talk about it after asking clearly." Suddenly, a weak voice came from behind them: "Sanqing, Zhang ...... Zhang asked him to ...... Ahem, he's not at fault. Alas, all this is my carelessness, you ...... Ahem, let him come!' I heard the voice, and I almost jumped out. But when he saw the more than twenty people in black, and the four people who had been standing, he couldn't help it. The four of them though all the time
They don't speak, they don't sacrifice their pulses, but I have a hunch that they are definitely the four masters of the world. Especially the one-foot tall man in the middle, although he is just a burly back, he already gives people a kind of mountain-like pressure. ”
Cai Yong's eyes flickered at this time, and he let out a long sigh, as if he could dissipate the pressure. After a while, I only heard him continue: "When I heard that person speak, I realized that the person who was protected by Zhu Jun and the others turned out to be the first emperor. I am glad that the first emperor did not die as the guards outside said, and sadly, the first emperor was wheezing and coughing when he spoke, and he was obviously seriously injured. Seeing that the three of them got out of the way, Zhang Ranglian knelt and crawled to the side of the first emperor, and he couldn't cry anymore. At this time, the first emperor sat on the threshold, and there were large blood stains on the dragon robe. Although the table is sluggish, the waist bones still have to be straight, without losing the majesty of the Son of Heaven. The first emperor first stared at Zhang Rang for a long time, shook his head with a wry smile, and muttered: "Let you not go, you have to go, you see, it's not in vain" Zhang Rang cried bitterly, "The army has already created chaos outside, if Your Majesty listened to my advice and escaped early before taking advantage of the chaos in the palace, how could it fall to such a point" Zhang Rang's words obviously had a reproachful meaning, but it was sincere, no one felt that he had any disrespect for the first emperor. The first emperor said gloomily: 'I have said that there are no emperors who escape, only emperors who die in battle. They stopped arguing, and the first emperor asked Zhang Rang to come over and whispered something. It was only then that I learned that the military rebellion outside the palace was deliberately made by Zhang Rang, in order to let the first emperor take advantage of the chaos to escape. This is a good plan, but unfortunately the first emperor did not pay attention to it. ”
At this time, Zhu Jun and the three of them faced the four masters in front of them anew, and said in a deep voice: 'Who are you? You are Zhu Jun, right? Those who know the times are Junjie, and when the lord enters the court, you can still be a big official, otherwise, we will let your blood splash on the spot. ’”
When Shi Xin heard Cai Yong's strange voice, he suddenly came to his senses and said in a lost voice: "It's Li Ru! Who are the other three? Is that one zhang tall Lu Bu?"
Cai Yong nodded and said, "It's Li Ru and Lu Bu! At that time, Li Ru was just a little-known civil official who had lived in Xiliang for a long time, so neither Zhu Jun nor I knew him. But if we don't know it, it doesn't mean that the first emperor didn't know it. After he gave Zhang Rang's instructions, he stood up tremblingly, his eyes swept over everyone in front of him one by one, and said in a deep voice: "Li Ru, Lu Bu, Zhang Liao, Gao Shun, and Dong Zhuo, who disappeared after injuring me, cough cough...... He should work with Jia Xu to deal with my guards outside the palace. After the first emperor finished speaking, he suddenly coughed violently, and after a while, he spit out a large mouthful of blood. His face was like gold paper, and he had obviously reached the end of his crossbow, but he didn't care about his own safety, and suddenly looked up to the sky and shouted: 'Hahaha, okay, I was surrounded by several masters in the world, and I, as a pulse master, died without regrets. Li Ru, I ask you, did you and Jia Xu plan all this? Who else?"
