In the second year of Taiwu, September 26, this is also the third day after the White Horse Temple incident.

On this day, the palace gate was opened, and all the officials in Beijing entered the court.

After the sun rose in the east, the Suzaku Gate opened, and the ministers and officials with apprehension walked into the palace.

Along the steps of the Majesty, all the way were samurai in armor, and the hundred officials who had been scared away by the purge in Beijing all lowered their heads and did not dare to glance at them.

The white blades, heavy footsteps, and breathing indicate the depression of this day's court.

When they arrived at the court, the door of the temple was not yet open.

Everyone knows what it means to choose the court hall in the North Palace this time.

The daily meetings of the hundred officials are in the South Palace, and only very big events, such as the enthronement ceremony or the formulation of major national policies, will be chosen here.

So, everyone is speculating, is He Jin really crazy? Want to abolish the little emperor here?

Everyone is speculating and speculating about how to stand in this big event.

Time passed little by little, and it gradually became a little noisy outside the court.

On weekdays, these hundred officials will also be constrained by the three dukes, each in its own place.

But this time, no one from the three princes was present. This made the officials who were used to being arranged a little confused.

When the sun was three poles up, and the officials were so hungry that their chests were pressed against their backs, the door of the hall creaked open.

Under the leadership of the confessor and the attendant, the hundred officials took off their shoes and entered the palace in turn.

But after they habitually finished worshipping His Majesty, they suddenly found that the emperor on the dragon couch was not there, but a curtain.

Just when everyone was in shock, the general He Jin actually walked out from behind, and the first sentence he said was shocking:

"Your Majesty has been cold these times, and you can't see hundreds of officials, so the Queen Mother will be the court for the time being."

Everyone looked at each other left and right, and finally they all chose to give in.

So, all the officials worshiped the Queen Mother again, and then started this special court meeting.

After that, He Jin took out the confessions of Xu Xiang, Guo Hong, Han Fu and a series of people, and they admitted the fact of their rebellion.

Now in the court, the most influential is Shang Shu Ling Duan.

This Shang Shuling from the Yingchuan Du clan stepped forward to read these confessions carefully, and asked in a helpless tone:

"Are these their handwritten letters?"

He Jin glanced at it strangely and asked rhetorically:

"It's not their handwriting, is it my own writing?"

Duane didn't dare to ask again, and replied respectfully:

"In that case, there is no punishment for sin!"

As a result, dozens of ministers and ministers, hundreds of ministers and waiters, were decided in this way.

……

In the second year of Taiwu, on September 27, the final purge finally came.

The general shogunate sent 500 soldiers to escort Xu Xiang, Guo Hong, Han Fu, Lu Shang, Han Shuo and other 78 ministers with more than 1,000 stones to Taimiao.

After that, He Jin personally held a sacrificial sacrifice ceremony, and finally escorted these people to Xishi.

In order to intimidate hundreds of officials, He Jin ordered all officials in Beijing to participate in the prison sentence. Of course, these people know that this is killing chickens to show them. But what can they do?

Among them, Xu Xiang was old and respectable, gave him a decent place, and specially gave him a piece of white silk to commit suicide.

And such as Guo Hong, Han Fu and others were directly beheaded and abandoned to the city, and then their heads were hung on the Yongmen.

After these seventy-five men were put to death, the following were the relatives and families of these people, whether near or far, who were in the mansion at the time.

So in this way, many people were unjustly killed.

Among them, there was a clansman of Xu Xiang, who came from his hometown in Runan hundreds of miles away to join him. This person just saw that Xu Xiang's son and grandson died, and his grandson died, and felt that Xu Xiang was gone, so he wanted to share Xu Xiang's inheritance.

Of course, this person must not say that, this person naturally said that he wanted to take care of and serve Xu Xiang when he entered Beijing.

And now that he has got his wish, he really has to go down to take care of Xu Xiang.

On the execution ground, he cried badly, but he was not wronged.

On this day, the dust settled in Beijing, but the purge was far from over.

He Jin has a thorn in his heart, that is Liu Bei, how did Liu Bei take five hundred people from the front line?

As long as he thought about it, He Jin was not at ease with Huangfu Song.

Later, in the little emperor's book, He Jin saw Huang Fu Song's words to advise the little emperor to be serious, although in this matter, Huang Fu Song did not participate. But emotionally, Huang Fusong obviously knew about it.

Therefore, He Jin can't forgive Huangfu Song, at least the troops on the front line can't be brought to this person anymore.

So, He Jin ordered Fan Zeng to go to the front line of Gucheng, took the edict to deprive Huangfu Song of his military power, and then led the front-line army by Zhu Jun, the deputy marshal.

In fact, Huangfu Song was quite aggrieved, that is, the little emperor only tempted him, but he never let him participate in this matter at all.

This was suggested by Kuai Liang, and he said that he was really determined to take He Jin, and forty or fifty people were enough. And letting foreign soldiers enter Beijing will cause more trouble.

Therefore, it is clear that Emperor Fu Song has tens of thousands of elite soldiers, and they are close to Gucheng, but the little emperor does not need it.

Previously, Liu Bei suddenly took Zhang Fei and others back to Gucheng day and night to persuade Huangfu Song to lead troops to serve the king. Huangfu Song thought left and right, and finally decided to send troops to Qin Wang.

So he set off with his headquarters in 3,000 steps and drove all the way to Henan County. At this time, the Henan county order was Han Ji, a native of Nanyang.

He was promoted by Liu Biao as filial piety and entered Beijing, and was later appointed by the imperial court as the county commander of Henan.

Henan Prefecture is the western gate of Kyoto, and it is certainly a good thing to be able to occupy this position. But Han Ji didn't know that he had encountered this incident not long after he took office.

Seeing Taiwei appear outside the county with a three-thousand-step horse, Han Ji, who was well-informed, immediately understood what was happening.

But Han Ji weighed it again and again, and didn't dare to get involved in this matter at all, so as soon as he discussed it with his subordinates, he took Zhu Cao's officials and ran away with the seal letter.

In this way, Huangfu Song's soldiers entered Henan County bloodlessly, but immediately after, news came from Kyoto that the general He Jin had completely mastered the situation.

At this critical moment of advance and retreat, Huangfu Song surprised everyone's expectations, and he retreated back to Gucheng with his own soldiers.

At this moment, Liu Bei was stunned.

How did he know that for Huangfu Song, since the order has been determined, it must be maintained.

And without the support of Huangfu Song's soldiers and horses, Liu Bei had no choice but to return to the Gucheng camp.

He asked to see Huangfu Song several times, but was refused. Liu Bei, who was anxious and helpless, could only wait outside the big tent day and night, so anxious that his hair was half white.

Until this day, Fan Zeng took the edict bicycle into the Huangfu Song camp.

At the beginning, Fan Zeng was still very frightened when he received He Jin's order, thinking that Huang Fu Song had tens of thousands of troops in his hands, and it was simply a fool's dream that he wanted to take Huang Fu Song with so many people.

But Xu Xun, a strategist in the shogunate, told Fan Zeng that if he went like this, Huangfu Song would definitely not resist.

The confidence of these decision-makers is not only because Zhu Jun, the deputy marshal, has always been at odds with Huangfu Song, but also because they understand Huang Fusong's personality.

Take another 10,000 steps back and say, even if Huangfu Song wants to rebel, he will rebel a long time ago, and will he wait until now to become enemies with Kansai? Cut off your only way back?

So, Fan Zeng really entered Huangfu Song's camp like this.

Then it didn't take long for Huangfu Song to be shackled and escorted out of the camp.

At that moment, all the generals in the army were present and surrounded the car excitedly.

They don't understand, now that the war is so urgent, why should they take their commander? Are those people not afraid of losing the war? Don't care if they live or die?

Fan Zeng was surrounded by these generals and was horrified. In the end, it was Huangfu Song himself who said:

"I am to blame, don't make mistakes. After I leave, the affairs of the army will be handed over to Vice Marshal Zhu. Fight well, don't let me be disgraced in Kyoto. ”

When the people present heard this, what else did they say? So he could only shed tears on the spot and send the old chief one last way.

From beginning to end, in order to avoid suspicion, Zhu Jun did not step out of the camp tent.

He just sighed and continued to read his "Spring and Autumn".

Just like that sentence, knowing my sin is only "Spring and Autumn".

……

On the way back to Kyoto, Fan Zeng always felt that something was wrong, as if someone had been lurking nearby.

Huangfu Song also felt it, and he still knew who it was.

With a sigh, Huangfu Song suddenly said to Fan Zeng:

"Captain Fan, now that the Kansai soldiers often infiltrate the left near, we should have met the Kansai soldiers. You give me a knife, we all have to be careful. ”

Of course, Fan Zeng did not doubt the judgment of this old commander in the army, and hurriedly took out his knife and handed it to Huangfu Song.

He wasn't worried that Huangfu Song would resist after taking the knife.

Just kidding, there were tens of thousands of troops in the big camp just now, and the emperor Fu Song didn't resist. Now that there is a knife, will it resist?

But what he never expected was that Huang Fu Song had just taken the knife, and the knife edge cut his neck as soon as he turned it.

Thick blood gushed directly from the wound, Fan Zeng was stunned, and everyone was stunned.

No, old lady, the general has no intention of killing you at all, why do you want to think about it? Besides, if you die now, how will they deal with you?

When the time comes, public opinion will be up and down, and everyone will think that this is the handiwork of the general, and the army's heart will inevitably be shaken at that time.

The more Fan Zeng thought about it, the more frightened he became, and the more he didn't know what to do.

They all thought about what kind of earthquake would happen after Huang Fu Song's death, but no one thought about what Huang Fu Song would be like at this moment.

At this moment, looking up at the sky, Huangfu Song smiled with relief, he was so tired, really tired.

At this moment, he felt infinitely relaxed, as if he was back to the boy who was running a horse on Longshang, so free.

Get some sleep, big man, I'm leaving.

In the second year of Taiwu, on September 30, a generation of famous handsome Huangfu Song fell into an unknown slope.

The Great Han Court Pillar fell with a bang.

……

Fan Zeng didn't know that in the dense forest not far from him, Liu Bei was lying on the ground, bursting into tears.

He saw Lao Shuai die, and he also understood why Lao Shuai committed suicide.

Blame yourself for all this.

Liu Bei wanted to hijack the convoy and save Huangfu Song, but he didn't understand what the old man wanted. I don't understand what he will lose if Liu Bei really hijacks the convoy.

Therefore, Huangfu Song chose to die.

Therefore, Huangfu Song was forced to death by Liu Bei.

Liu Bei understood this, the grief in his heart could no longer be suppressed, he wanted to cry, he wanted to scream, why the fate of suffering always befell him.

From Hebei to Hanoi, from Hanoi to Henan, and then to the present. He Liu Bei is always pushed by fate, and every time he tries to do something, it always makes things worse.

Liu Bei is so powerless at this moment.

Zhang Fei, Chen Zhi and the others were silent, they just continued to stay by his side.

After a long time, Liu Bei said calmly:

"Let's go west."
