Chapter 12: Reprimand
This voice shouted with great momentum, and if he heard it suddenly, he would be taken aback even if he wasn't a eunuch, but Liu Xuan just raised his eyes and turned his head to take a look, and even had the leisure to take a closer look at the generals who rushed over, and didn't care at all about the few soldiers who rushed up.
As for being regarded as a eunuch again, Liu Xuan could only secretly feel helpless in his heart.
Even if the Han Dynasty is an official costume, there is not much difference in style, not to mention that the eunuchs in the Han Dynasty were also officials, and even in the early years of the Han Dynasty, the positions originally held by the later eunuchs were ordinary people, and later they were gradually replaced by eunuchs. And these eunuchs are also wearing official uniforms in the imperial city, and now it is such a chaotic situation, this group of soldiers naturally has no heart to identify them in detail one by one, anyway, they look like eunuchs, and they will all be killed.
Seeing several soldiers rushing forward and stabbing straight at him with a spear, the long knife in Liu Xuan's hand first swung obliquely, stabbing a spear to his chest, and then with a flick of his wrist, his strength exploded, knocking the castration of the spear a lot, and then saw the opportunity, taking advantage of the soldier's numb hands and unable to hold the spear, he stepped forward violently, and then cut it down with a knife, which directly resulted in the soldier's life.
And this is just the beginning, the long knife in his hand castrated, followed by a horizontal flick, and disemboweled a soldier next to him, and then his body turned around and dodged along the momentum of this slash, avoiding the spears that followed, and then it was fierce, and the heads of those spears were chopped off.
This successive hits were just something that happened in the blink of an eye, and the military academy on the opposite side only saw his own soldiers rushing forward, and as soon as his eyes blinked, he immediately lay down several times, and his heart was shocked.
"There are eunuchs in the palace who are as strong as martial arts?"
Shocked in his heart, the long sword in his hand was also swinged, and he was about to step forward to fight with the young man who didn't look very old, but before he could take a step, there was a loud shout from behind him: "The original assistant, this is King Liang!"
Yuan Shao's body was crooked when he heard this, and the long sword that was about to be stabbed directly softened crookedly, and when he looked back, he found that it was his friend Cao Cao Cao Mengde, leading a group of soldiers to wave at him anxiously while he was busy putting out the fire.
When Cao Cao ran in front of him, Yuan Shao hurriedly asked, "Who did Meng De say about this?"
Cao Cao had already run to the front, and saw Liu Xuan standing tall with a knife, although his body was full of blood stains, but it was obviously not that he was injured.
"This is the brother of the current saint, Liu Xuan, the king of Liang!"
whispered to Yuan Shao and told Liu Xuan's identity, just because he was afraid that this friend would be reckless for a while and offend Liu Xuan - he knew that if Liu Xuan really wanted to take Yuan Shao's life, it would only be a matter of raising his hands and feet, and even if he killed Yuan Shao's Yuan family, there was nowhere to reason.
To put it bluntly, today's matter is unreasonable, even if you Yuan Shao is to kill the eunuch, but it is a fact to lead the soldiers and horses to storm the palace, and what is even worse is that you mobilized the soldiers and horses without getting any secret edicts, which is not a crime of rebellion.
What's more, now that this situation is in place, it can be seen at a glance that Yuan Shao led the troops to collide with Liu Xuan without asking about it, if Liu Xuan really investigates it, Yuan Shao still doesn't take care of it.
Thinking of this, Cao Cao was even glad that after he found out that the palace was getting more and more chaotic, he led people directly to Liu Xuan's side, if it was a little late, Liu Xuan really killed Yuan Shao, it would be a huge obstacle to Liu Xuan's plan.
Yuan Shao was born in the Yuan family, the Yuan family is known as the fourth generation and the third duke, and the protégés are all over the world, and they are the first-class big families today, and they are also extremely powerful in the court.
Not to mention others, just the Taifu Yuan Kui, who is listed as the new emperor's auxiliary minister along with He Jin, can know the great power of the Yuan family. If Liu Xuan really slaughtered Yuan Shao, it is estimated that it will be even more difficult to get the throne in his hands.
Now that Cao Cao has reached an alliance with Liu Xuan, it can be said that he is sitting in the same boat, and he doesn't want to have any conflict with the Yuan family at this critical time.
Cao Cao will be like this, firstly, to make Liu Xuan's ascension to the throne one less obstacle, and on the other hand, it is also for himself, after all, only when Liu Xuan ascends the throne, as the first person to stand with Liu Xuan, can he get the greatest benefits.
As for Liu Xuan himself, in fact, he had already guessed the approximate identity of the person in front of him, and as soon as the sentence 'Benchu' just now came out, he could immediately affirm that the person in front of him was indeed the future lord of Hebei, the current captain of Si Li, and the actual supreme commander of the Xiyuan Army: Yuan Shao Yuan Benchu.
He didn't have any good feelings about this person, and he never thought of taking this person for his own use, and even put this person on the list of deaths early.
However, there is a problem, that is, Yuan Shao can't die at this time, and he still expects Yuan Shao to toss Hebei's good life? If Yuan Shao is gone, where will he find a suitable excuse to reconquer and clear the land of Hebei in the future?
But this doesn't mean that he has to swallow his anger in front of Yuan Shao? Not to mention that his status is much higher than Yuan Shao's now.
"Captain Yuan led the troops into the palace, burned, killed and looted, could it be that he wanted to do that rebellious thing?"
As soon as he opened his mouth, a big hat was buttoned up, and at this time, Yuan Shao was still over there and whispered to Cao Cao: "If it weren't for Meng De, I would have almost fallen into a catastrophe!"
Yuan Shao is not a stupid person, he understands that he has committed a taboo by leading troops into the palace, and killing some eunuchs or something can be said to be killing treacherous evil, but it collided with the bloodline of the Han family, but the son of the first emperor, and now there is a clan relative on the throne, it is a big sin, if the royal family really wants to punish him, he can't even refute it.
Thinking of this, a cold sweat was already flowing from his head, and at the same time, he was also quite grateful to Cao Cao, who felt in time: "Fortunately, Meng De knows the face of King Liang!"
Yuan Shao was also quite depressed about this matter, the first emperor had three sons and one daughter, everyone knew about this, but the eldest son Liu Xuan almost did not appear in front of outsiders, and he was also extremely low-key in the palace, even to the point that even some palace maids and eunuchs in the palace did not know him. Not to mention these foreign ministers?
It is already good for some low-level officials in Beijing to know that the emperor has a son, and there are even some people who only have two sons when they are princes, and they are completely unaware of Liu Xuan's existence.
It wasn't until the death of the first emperor that Liu Wei succeeded to the throne and named Liu Xuan as the king of Liang and Liu Xie as the king of Chen Liu, and these people were surprised to know about Liu Xuan's existence - but what he looked like, they still didn't know.
When Cao Cao heard this, he could only smile bitterly, and secretly said that this Liu Xuan was really able to forbear, and the first emperor was low-key to such a point during his reign, until the first emperor died and the palace was in chaos, and then he began to show his means - he had already guessed that Liu Xuan was not quietly waiting for the chaos to pass in his bedroom, but took the initiative to come out, just to show some means and gain some fame at the same time.
"If this is the case, although there will be no disaster today, I am afraid that a rebuke will be inevitable!"
Of course, the thought in his heart just came up, and Liu Xuan's question came out over there.
Yuan Shao hurriedly turned around and saluted, and opened his mouth to defend: "The Ten Standing Servants caused trouble in the court, and used poisonous tricks to kill the general, and the last general led troops into the palace and killed the Ten Standing Servants!"
This excuse is very one-sided, and it still can't hide the fact that Yuan Shao led the troops to storm the palace without authorization, so Yuan Shao was sweating at this time, and he didn't even dare to face Liu Xuan - Liu Xuan now has the identity of the King of Liang to press Yuan Shao, even if Yuan Shao feels that what he has done is wrong, he doesn't dare to open his mouth, and only hopes that this King of Liang will not be entangled in this matter.
It's a pity that Liu Xuan is not such a talkative person, and directly raised his hand to point to the many black smoke in the distance: "Since it is to kill the ten permanent servants, then what is the matter with these fires? Who killed those ordinary yellow gates? And who gave you the right to lead the army into the palace without authorization? You are so bold!"
This shout shocked everyone and trembled, and the timid soldier realized at this time how much of a sin he had done, and he couldn't hold the weapon in his hand, and he fell to the ground with a choking sound, and he almost knelt on the ground and begged for mercy.
Yuan Shao didn't know how to defend himself at this time, so he could only be depressed in his heart, but fortunately, after Liu Xuan shouted angrily, he didn't continue to investigate his guilt, but said: "Even if the Ten Standing Servants commit a great crime, it is not your turn to make a decision without authorization, quickly gather your subordinates, and extinguish the fire in the palace, what kind of chaos has this chaos become?
This sentence can be regarded as giving Yuan Shao a step down, Yuan Shao naturally bowed his head directly with this sentence, and at the same time turned his head and took the soldiers to collect the scattered soldiers and horses - this job is not easy to do, the eight captains of the West Garden have all been killed today, and some ministers have seen changes in the palace and rushed over with their family guards, and now it has become a mess.
However, as long as you don't dazzle your eyes in front of this King Liang, it doesn't matter, and the first thing is to extinguish all the fires that are burning in the palace, otherwise this imperial city will really be burned, and it will not be enough for the entire Yuan family to lose their lives.
A few words blasted Yuan Shao away, Liu Xuan snorted, and said secretly: "If it weren't for the plan, I would have taken the lives of you and your younger brother today!"
Today, Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu, the best of the younger generation of the Yuan family, are involved, if they are all killed, I don't know what changes will be caused?
However, Liu Xuan knew that the Han Dynasty had rotted to the roots, and the situation of separating the heroes had begun to take shape, and killing Yuan Shao here could not stop the trend of Hebei not being under the jurisdiction of the imperial court.
What's more, now is not an opportunity for Yuan Kui to turn against his goal, he also hopes to win over Taifu Yuan Kui and let him stand on his side in some things later.
When Yuan Shao disappeared, Cao Cao stepped closer: "Your Highness doesn't care about the beginning, it's the best policy! The Yuan family has a huge influence among the court scholars, and it cannot be opposed to it at present." "The court can not care about it for the time being, but the influence of the Nashi clan cannot be ignored.
Liu Xuan smiled, he knew that Cao Cao could see the situation, but now was not the time to talk about it, so he didn't say much, just asked, "Have you ever seen Your Majesty and King Chen Liu?"
Cao Cao shook his head, and was about to say that he hadn't seen it, when he suddenly heard a sharp hoarse voice in the distance shouting: "Your Highness save me!" followed by an angry shout: "Where did the old thief escape?"
