Chapter 42: The Death of Liu Bian

In 189 A.D., the year of Jisi, the sixth year of Zhongping, the first year of Guangxi, the first year of Zhaoning, and the first year of Yonghan, just listening to the year name will know what a lively year, the emperor alternates, and the government is chaotic.

In the same year, the Han Emperor Liu Hong died, the Han Empress He died, the Han Empress Dowager Dong died, the Han General He Jin died, and the ten permanent servants who had been in power for 10,000 years also died.

For a year, Xiliang was in chaos, Bingzhou was in chaos, Youzhou was in chaos, and even Sili was not peaceful.

In the next year, Dong Zhuo entered Beijing, Yuan Shao left, Cao Cao left, and Jiang Qi also left.

It was also from the beginning of the year that the Han Dynasty came to an end, and the heroes appeared one after another. Yuan Shao recruited troops from Bohai, Cao Cao recruited troops from Chen Liu, and Yuan Shu recruited troops from Nanyang...... Jiang Qi was even more excessive, without the imperial court, and privately sent troops to occupy the entire territory of the state, in order to become a separatist. It can be foreseen that the new year will be more lively.

In 190 A.D., the first New Year's dynasty of the new emperor Liu Xie's ascension to the throne came as scheduled. Recalling the past, the New Year Dynasty is the most lively time in the palace, especially during the period of Emperor Ling, even if he is lazy, Liu Hong will take out his busy time to accept the congratulations of the Han Dynasty officials, the princes of the world, and the vassals of the Quartet.

But this year, the world has been turned upside down, this year's dynasty has no princes to enter the court, there is no swarm of envoys, and there is no Quartet of subject countries to congratulate, even the officials who participated in the court meeting, except for those in Beijing, only Liangzhou and Si Li arrived.

If it is said that there is still face for Dong Zhuo, I am afraid that it is only the dog who lost his family to sue in Beijing, and the Southern Huns sent Liu Bao, the king of the right sage, to make up the number. The whole court will be very cold.

Of course, compared to the cold, when Dong Zhuo's crotch sword entered the palace, the shivering Son of Heaven wanted to have no such court meeting today.

Fortunately, when the New Year was celebrated, there was no blood to render the court, and everything was spent safely. At the court meeting, it was announced to the world that the new year was changed to Chuping, which was the first year.

But if there is chaos today, Yonghan can be Han forever? Can the first peace be peaceful? No way.

A few days after the new year was set, a number was made of the three public transfer books, which was issued from Dongjun and passed on to Yizhou County. Zhu Wen bitterly Chen Dongzhuo's crimes, the Son of Heaven is in danger, and he hopes for volunteers to relieve the country's difficulties.

When the text arrived, the counties responded, and the volunteers rose in all directions and headed towards Luoyang.

It's just that I don't want to, the original call for volunteers to enter the king of Beijing Qinwang has become a reminder for the abolished emperor Liu Wei.

Yongle Palace is located in the north of the central axis of the North Palace, which is the residence of the Empress Dowager of the Han Dynasty, but with the last two Empress Dowagers living in the Jiade Palace, now the Yongle Palace is much dilapidated. Today, people may still remember that there is nothing more important than that the deposed emperor Liu Wei is still imprisoned.

As the former son of heaven, Liu Wei was born at the wrong time, he was disliked by his father when he was young, and when he grew up, he was used as a puppet by his uncle, and before he enjoyed the glory of the emperor for a few days, he was shamefully written into the history of the Han Dynasty.

However, at present, the Han Dynasty is chaotic, for Liu Wei, who has no ambitions, maybe stepping down from the throne is not all a bad thing, even if he is imprisoned, he is accompanied by his lover every day, which is much better than his brother who walks on thin ice every day.

But it was such a stingy calm, Liu Wei wanted to have it was also a luxury, and when a person appeared in Yongle Palace, his last moment came.

Li Ru, Lang Zhongling, Dong Zhuo's confidant, today he was ordered by his father-in-law to do a secret thing, although he was unwilling, but he had to act in accordance with it, who made him the most suitable person.

"Your Highness...... I heard that His Royal Highness has been unwell recently, so Xiang Guo specially asked the imperial doctor to make this medicine, and taking this medicine can avoid evil......"

Who is Li Ru, Liu Wei knew, and it was even more painful, a few months ago, it was him, the same bottle, the same words, his closest mother was killed, and he didn't think that it would be his turn today.

"Ward off evil spirits...... Thou art rebellious, when you are a lonely child! Lonely is not sick, just want to kill Lonely! Lonely don't drink! ”

"Your Highness can't help you, if you don't want to, Weichen will only be rude!" Becoming a king and defeating a king, although he was taught by Confucianism and Taoism, loyal to the monarch and patriotic, he could deal with the Hu people all the year round, and he was full of wolf nature, and when he heard that the cowardly people dared to resist, Li Ru immediately pulled out the blade on his waist.

Even if Liu Wei had the courage to refuse, he was still a fifteen-year-old child in the end, and he was immediately paralyzed when he saw the sharp blade.

"Serve the Hongnong King to drink medicine......" Seeing that Liu Wei was easily intimidated, Li Ru snorted coldly, mocking in his heart that he was the former master of the Han Dynasty, and then said coldly.

"Wow!!" is no better than Li Ru, who has also read books, guarding left and right, but serious rough people, they also know today's mission, and they have to do it with a fist.

"Slow ......" originally wanted to struggle, but when he saw the burly armor walking towards him, Liu Wei finally understood his mother's helplessness, and finally the dignity of the royal family prompted him to have no face: "Lone was once the Son of Heaven, when he has the face of the Son of Heaven, let Lone say goodbye to Tang Ji and the palace people......"

When a person is about to die, his sadness is moving, even if he is a poisoner, Li Ru is also very kind, even unexpected, and hesitated after being stunned: "...... Your Highness is not strange, and Weichen has no choice but to ......"

The pain of life is nothing more than farewell, even if the overlord has the ability to defy the sky, but he can't beat fate, Liu Wei accepted his fate, who let him be born in the royal family, the master and servant cried bitterly, love and tears.

When a few lamps were in his stomach, Liu Wei sang even more sadly: "The way of heaven is easy, how difficult it is for me!" Abandon the ten thousand times and retreat to Tibet. The rebel minister saw that his life was not extended, and he would pass away! ”

As Liu Wei sang, Tang Ji, who was the only one by his side, got up and danced, and sang in sadness: "After the emperor collapsed, the earth fell, and as the emperor, his life was destroyed." Death and life are different, and he is sad in his heart. ”

Singing and harmonizing, the sadness is pervasive, and everyone who hears it is moved, crying and whimpering.

After the song, Liu Wei was already teary-eyed, holding Ai Ji in his hand, reluctant to give up, how afraid he was of Dong Zhuo in power, after his death, what was the fate of his love, but what choice did he have, he could only say with pity: "The princess of the king, she is no longer the wife of the people, fortunately she loves herself!" Since then, he has been resigned for a long time. ”

After that, Liu Wei committed suicide by drinking a donkey at the age of fifteen.

The only brother was killed, Liu Xiebei started from his heart, as if he also saw his fate, but he was helpless, what could he do. Only with the last right, in February, he issued an edict to bury his brother in the tomb built by the late Zhongchang servant Zhao Zhong before his death, and said that he would be the king.

The news that Liu Wei was killed, although he died of illness to the outside world, he did not hide it, and then the world shook. Even if it is the abolition of the emperor, it is also a king, and the result is much more serious than the killing of the queen.

Originally, he killed Liu Bian, Dong Zhuo was a person who wanted to cut off his subordinates, and in the name of Liu Bian, he instigated the so-called righteous soldiers to make a rebellion. Unexpectedly, this move was beyond expectations.

Subsequently, there were more people in the world who responded, such as Bohai Taishou Yuan Shao, Later General Yuan Shu, Jizhou Mu Hanfu, Yuzhou Thorn Shi Kong Ling, Yanzhou Thorn Shi Liu Dai, Hanoi Taishou Wang Kuang, Shangdang Taishou Zhang Yang, Xuzhou Thorn Shi Taoqian, Chen Liutai Shou Zhang Miao, Beihai Taishou Kong Rong, Guangling Taishou Zhang Chao, Dongjun Taishou Qiao Mao, Shanyang Taishou Yuan Yi, Beiping Taishou Gongsun Zhan, Changsha Taishou Sun Jian, Jibei Xiang Bao Xin, Cao Cao and so on successively raised troops to form an alliance against Dong.

The coalition forces marched into Luoyang in several ways, among which Yuan Shao and Wang Kuangtun troops in Hanoi, and Zhang Yang, who had nowhere to hide, took the opportunity to lead thousands of men and horses to take refuge.

Zhang Miao, Liu Dai, Qiao Mao, Yuan Yi, Cao Cao and Bao Xintun soldiers sour dates, Yuan Shu Tun soldiers Luyang, Sun Jian rushed from Changsha to meet Yuan Shu; Kong Lingtun Bing Yingchuan; Han Fu stayed in Yecheng and gave the coalition army rations.

The heroes then elected Yuan Shao as the leader of the alliance. Yuan Shao called himself the general of the chariot cavalry, and everyone else was falsely awarded the official title, Cao Cao, who was unemployed, was awarded the rank of general of Fenwu, and the homeless Zhang Yang was comforted and awarded the title of Taishou of the party.

Dong Zhuo acted perversely, the righteous people of the world responded to the rebel army, and people with lofty ideals all chose the main person to go to the country together.

But it is strange that the powerful imperial princes, such as Liu Biao, Yizhou Mu Liu Yan, and Youzhou Mu Liu Yu, who have just replaced Jingzhou Mu, have not sent troops for a long time.

Of course, there are more than three powerful royal princes, the merger of states with the trend of separation, Jiang Qi, who has long been inseparable from Dong Zhuo, has no action at all, which makes the coalition very regretful. For example, his friends Yuan Shao and Cao Cao were invited to repair books, but they all fell into the sea.

Liu Biao, Liu Yan, and Liu Yu don't have soldiers, and people in the world may not care too much, but they can take and merge the state privately, and Jiang Qi, who has hundreds of thousands of soldiers, has not responded, which is a big disappointment for people with lofty ideals.

Maybe it's the reason for the fame, everyone is counting on Jiang Qigong to go down to the wall.

Jiang Qi had no news of the army, and the righteous people in the world were disappointed, but Dong Zhuo, who was anxious, was very happy, and even thought that Jiang Qi was trying to do it well. Subsequently, with the edict of the Son of Heaven, Jiang Qi was accepted as the state pastor, and he ate 3,000 provinces, which had the intention of forming an alliance.

But Dong Zhuo was destined to be wrong, Jiang Qi didn't react, but it wasn't that he didn't want to start a war with him, but it was a new state merger, and he just didn't have time.

Although the war in the state was ended with lightning speed before the letter was issued, officials and defenders from all over the country still needed to be deployed.

Especially in Yanmen County, which has been occupied for a long time, even if no alien race dares to block the Jiang family's army. But the lack of troops is a reality, and in the end, Yanmen County was not recovered by the whole county, and the Jiang family army only fortified in Mayi and Yanmen Pass, preparing to slowly plan it.

Subsequently, Jiang Qi appointed Zhong Xuan as the county guard of Taiyuan and Guan Yu as Sima, and appointed Xun Yu as the county guard of Shangdang and Zhao Yun as Sima, Xing Ji as the county guard of Yanmen, and Tong Fei as Sima.

In terms of the defenders, Jiang Qi has also been adjusted, and the original defenders of all counties have been dismissed and re-recruited. Of the more than 50,000 new troops that Xihe had just raised, 10,000 entered Yanmen and 20,000 entered Taiyuan, and the 20,000 elites who originally entered Taiyuan were transferred to Shangdang Defense.

During the transfer of troops, Jiang Qi also left Shangdang and went to a strange city, 'Jinyang', the original state office, and the future will also be the state office.

And it was also just in Jinyang, Jiang Qi received the text passed by each post, but compared to the so-called heroes who were angry, and like the disappointment of the world, Jiang Qi couldn't help but laugh after reading it, and then abandoned it.

Even the county guard Zhong Xuan, who persuaded him whether to respond or not, said it twice in a boring way, and then did not mention it.

In the end, it wasn't until Liu Wei was killed that Jiang Qi made a move in his heart, but he did not respond to the so-called Dong coalition army, and only let the whole army be vegetarian, not only the battle flag, but even the battle robe also abandoned the red of the Han Dynasty, and all were replaced with white, which meant filial piety for the country.
