Chapter 66: Heroes
"Ziyang is a believer, if the Han family is assisted by him, revival is just around the corner."
"But, what if Ding Chen doesn't want to?"
"Don't want to?"
On Huiji Mountain, Liu Wei couldn't help but smile, "This can be as meritorious as Yi Yin and Huo Guang, how can he Ding Ziyang refuse?" ”
"However, Your Majesty would rather abandon this great country."
Diao Chan retorted softly, making Liu Wei suddenly lose his voice.
Yes, he can abandon the country, but how can he know that Ding Chen can't abandon his exploits?
Suddenly, he felt like he had miscalculated!
On that day, he chose Ding Chen, which was also a last resort.
He has no other choice, and Ding Chen is a person who values affection, in his opinion, a person who values affection is at least worthy of trust.
Later, Liu Wei escaped from Luoyang.
Under the protection of the former attendant Diao Chan, he went all the way south to Huiji County.
Huiji County Taishou is Liu Bian's father-in-law, and at the same time he is loyal to Liu Bian. Tang Mao is just from a small eunuch family and has no background. Thanks to He Jin's promotion later, he jumped from a county official to a prince of the Huiji Taishou, a prince. In fact, Tang Mao is also very clear about Liu Wei's distress. He knew that his son-in-law did not want to be the emperor, but he was forced by the general trend to become the emperor of the Han family. However, in Liu Wei's heart, he longed to escape from the cage.
That's right, it's a cage!
In Liu Wei's eyes, the huge palace city is just a cage.
In his heart, he actually longed for the days when he lived outside the palace and in the house of Shi Dao's house, carefree and free.
After Dong Zhuo entered Beijing, in the face of his powerful force, Liu Wei had no resistance at all, was deposed from the throne, and was trapped in the Pavilion. However, Liu Wei did not feel sad because of this, but had a sense of ease. Subsequently, he got in touch with Diao Chan, who was a female attendant who was exiled outside the palace in the rebellion of the Ten Standing Attendants, and who also took care of him since he was a child and was called 'Sister'. Diao Chan originally planned to help him regain the throne, but was stopped by Liu Wei.
Because, with his mother being killed, he already had a premonition that there was a black hand shrouded in the sky above Luoyang Palace.
Although Dong Zhuo is domineering, he can abide by the courtesy of the monarch and the minister.
And that black hand is more ferocious than Dong Zhuo, and he has no worries. Even the Queen Mother dares to kill, what else would she not dare?
Liu Wei knew at that time that the black hand would find him sooner or later.
The reason why he didn't do it all the time was because he was waiting for him to hand over the jade seal. However, Liu Wei pretended not to know anything, which also made the black hand gradually lose patience, and finally decided to poison him, so there was also the scene of burning Ah Ge.
Fortunately, Diao Chan had already made arrangements and sensed the strangeness of Wang Yun and others.
She is a palace attendant, and she has a group of palace maids under her, but Liu Wei is obedient. And each of them has a code name, called Diao Chan.
Diao Chan, who mixed into Wang Yun's house, kept coming with news, so that Diao Chan could prepare in advance.
A few days ago, she secretly accompanied Tang Ji to Huiji, and then hurried to Huiji Mountain to ask Liu Wei for instructions.
After Liu Wei learned that Tang Ji had arrived at Huiji, the whole person was much more relaxed.
He has no intention of being rich and noble, and has already made arrangements with his father-in-law Tang Mao. So when Diao Chan came, he asked Diao Chan to hand over the jade seal of the country to Ding Chen. Ding Chen's faith and righteousness are unparalleled, and he has shown extraordinary talents in Xingyang, which also makes Liu Wei very important.
He hoped that by passing on the jade seal of the country, Ding Chen would become a minister of Zhongxing who assisted the Han family.
After all, he is a descendant of the surname Liu, a descendant of Emperor Guangwu of the Han Dynasty, even if he has no intention of taking the throne, he hopes that the Han family will be stable.
But......
Liu Wei laughed self-deprecatingly and shook his head slightly.
"Sister, if he really has no intention of fame, tell him and ask him to choose someone to give him."
"Why?"
Diao Chan was puzzled: "The concubine admits that Ding Chen is indeed a believer and has good ability.
But in this world, there are many heroes and heroes, and there are countless people who are stronger than him, why did His Majesty choose Ding Chen alone? ”
"Heroes?"
Liu Wei sneered, and his thin but slightly delicate face showed a calm look.
"Who does Sister think is the hero?"
This question really stumped Diao Chan.
She thought for a while and said, "Bohai Yuan Shao, the fourth and third dukes, ranked among the eight handsome, praised by the world, can he be a hero?" ”
"Yuan Shao?"
Liu Wei sneered: "He is ambitious, but he keeps scheming.
My uncle once said before his death that this person can be used, but not reused. Although he had a noble background and a great reputation, he might be able to become a prince one day, but it was not enough to revive the Han dynasty. ”
"That Youzhou Mu Liu Yu, sitting in the side of the city, resisting the Hu people, has outstanding military achievements, and is a member of the Han family, can he be a hero?"
"Uncle Liu Huang...... He is strong, but he has an upright temperament and does not know how to be flexible.
If he ascends to the Ninety-Five Honor, he may be able to achieve a career. However, his character is pedantic, it is difficult to achieve great things, and he is not a hero. ”
"Yizhou Mu Liu Yan, how's it going?"
"Ten years ago, Liu Yan, who sat in Youzhou and fought against the Hu people, may be able to achieve great things.
But since he went to Yizhou, he has become timid, selfish, and in a safe corner, although he sits in Bashu, but he can't control it for a long time, how can he be considered a hero? ”
Diao Chan proposed several more princes, but they were vetoed by Liu Wei one by one.
"The reason why I chose Ding Chen is also because he has no ambition, so I don't have to worry about my ancestors falling into the hands of others. And he is quite responsible, even if he is unwilling to take on this important responsibility, but after choosing someone, he will also help on the side.
With him here, I can naturally rest assured. ”
Saying a thousand, saying 10,000, is that Liu Wei believes in Ding Chen.
Diao Chan naturally stopped persuading and agreed to Liu Wei's request.
"Sister, do you really want to go with me?"
"Your Majesty, the concubine has been abducted since she was a child, far from home.
Fortunately, the Queen Mother rescued her and survived. After following His Majesty, he couldn't leave for a moment, and it has been nearly 20 years.
In the past, His Majesty had not yet made a decision, and the concubine did not want to separate. Can ...... now After returning home, the jade seal was handed over to Ding Chen, and the concubine was ready to return to her hometown to find her former relatives. I just don't know if my relatives back then are still there. ”
"Yes, I remember that my sister is from Changshan?"
"Exactly."
"I have sent people to look for the place that my sister said, but now it is in ruins.
Come to think of it, it was caused by the disaster of the Yellow Turban back then. If the sister wants to find relatives, she can look for them near Zhending County. It is said that due to the Yellow Turban Rebellion, many villages took refuge in the county seat. If my sister's relatives are still there, I think I should live there. ”
Diao Chan raised his head and looked at Liu Bian.
In the past, this weak little brother has been able to plan for the future.
This also made her very happy in her heart.
It's just that this parting, maybe there will be no day to see each other again, makes Diao Chan feel sad again.
She said softly: "Your Majesty, rest assured, I will definitely hand over the jade seal to Ding Chen, and I will also try to let him protect this Han family for Your Majesty." ”
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
The thoughts suddenly returned, and Diao Chan still hid her body in the shadows of the alley.
"General Ding, this is Your Majesty's heart.
Since he chose the general, he has his own reasons. Please also ask the general not to embarrass the concubine. His Majesty also said that if the general is unwilling to take on the heavy responsibility, he can also choose someone to give him. I believe that with the faith of the general, he will not disappoint His Majesty.
General, please also greet the jade seal. ”
As he spoke, Diao Chan flipped his hand and took out a six-inch square box from his pocket.
However, at the moment when Diao Chan took out the box, Ding Chen's face suddenly changed.
He stepped forward and reached out to take out two small sticks from his waist.
"Girl, be careful."
Ding Chen reminded loudly, and at the same time turned around and shook his hands, and the two small sticks flew out.
Bite! While!
There were two crisp sounds, and in the darkness behind Diao Chan, two sword rays flashed.
Xiao Zhen is the inspiration that Ding Chen got when he saw Dian Wei using a small halberd in Hucheng Pavilion.
He is proficient in archery and skilled in guns and horses.
However, it always seemed that something was missing, and it wasn't until Dian Wei used the halberd to attack that he reacted.
Hidden weapon!
In this day and age, there is no shame in using hidden weapons.
Most of the famous generals of the past dynasties are proficient in this technique, but in the history books, there will never be relevant records.
After Ding Chen was stationed in Michi, he selected some skilled craftsmen from the past homeless people, and created a small dragon according to his style of conjuring spirits, and there was no contact. Now, although it is not said that it is a hundred shots, there is no problem in eight or nine out of ten.
Diao Chan was also a little surprised at first.
She thought that Ding Chen was going to attack her, so she pulled out her sword.
However, as the two small guns flew past her, followed by the sound of gold and iron clashing behind her, she immediately came to her senses.
The figure turned on the spot, and the sword stabbed out.
A red sword shadow flew out and stabbed into the darkness like lightning.
"Chixiao?"
A hoarse voice came from the darkness, followed by a sword light that flew up, and with a ding, the red sword shadow was in the middle.
Diao Chan only felt a numb hand, and a huge force struck.
She secretly screamed badly, and the delicate figure rose into the air, fluttering like a feather, and retreated with that great force.
At this time, Ding Chen also pulled out his sword, took two steps forward, and came to Diao Chan's side.
The fire fold in Diao Chan's hand fell on a pile of dead leaves in the corner of the alley, lit the dead leaves, and the fire immediately illuminated the alley.
He squinted at the sword in Diao Chan's hand, and saw that the sword was not iron or copper, and he couldn't see what material it was made of, and the spine of the sword was engraved with a pattern, and was equipped with a colorful bead as a decoration, the sword body was as warm as jade, but it was cold, and the blade was just like frost and snow, and a red shadow was circulating.
Chixiao?
That sounds like a familiar name!
Ding Chen vaguely remembered that this Chixiao Sword seemed to be the sword used by Han Gaozu.
It is said that when Gaozu was exiled in Mangdang Mountain, he got the nobles' regular clothes and a sword in Nanshan, which was called Chixiao. Later, he slashed snakes in the mountains, so that all heroes in the world followed, and finally established the Han Dynasty, which continues to this day.
The Chixiao Sword disappeared for a time during the Xinmang Rebellion, but later fell into the hands of Liu Xiu, Emperor Guangwu of the Han Dynasty.
Since then, this sword has been enshrined in the North Palace, and disappeared again after the rebellion of the Ten Standing Servants, and it was originally in the hands of this Diao Chan.
It seems that this Diao Chan is really valued by Liu Bian.
The so-called disappearance in the rebellion of the Ten Standing Servants is probably a lie.
It is estimated that before this, Chixiao fell into the hands of Diao Chan. Because judging from the posture of her sword, I'm afraid it's some years.
This emperor of the Han family really likes to pretend to be a ghost!
If it weren't for Dong Zhuo's rebellion, I'm afraid it wouldn't be too long, and Chixiao Sword would have used another way to return to the palace to prove that the Han Dynasty was protected by the ancestors, and Liu Wei's throne was also orthodox recognized by the ancestors.
At that time, a vision from heaven was bound to convince the people of the world.
It's a pity that before all this was implemented, Dong Zhuo deposed Liu Wei, and even made this Chixiao Sword never reappear in the palace city!
Ding Chen felt that he was simply a fool!
Liu Wei, the king of Hongnong, seemed to be weak, but he grew up in the deep palace, and watched his mother and uncle join forces against the Empress Dowager Dong, and even made Emperor Ling of Han change his decision to abolish the crown prince...... No matter how weak Liu Wei is, how can he be idle?
