Chapter 111: Luoyang Palace Changes
The queen mother of the He family always has some good scars and forgets the pain, obviously she knows everything, but she always gets carried away at the most critical time.
At the moment when He Jin and her, the Empress Dowager of the Han Dynasty, reached this so-called secret, the matter between them was already known to all those who should not know.
And for this matter, or in order to muddy the water in Luoyang, it was not just Dong Zhuo who came, in order to put enough pressure on the Empress Dowager He, He Jin asked Wang Kuang of Taishan to mobilize crossbowmen from the county.
At the same time, he also let the Dongjun Taishou Qiaomao garrison Chenggao to be prepared, and at the same time, he also let the former and state assassins, and now the Wumeng Commander Ding Yuan burned Mengjin to threaten Luoyang, which made the people of Luoyang panic.
Seeing that Cao Mengde kept scolding his mother, this thing that could be solved by a charge made the whole Luoyang unhappy, if it weren't for Yuan Shao being his best friend, he couldn't afford to provoke the Yuan family, and now he went to block Yuan Shao's door and scold the street.
Just when Yuan Shao felt that everything was going according to plan, not only were many of his forces close to Luoyang, but he was also given the responsibility of monitoring Luoyang.
Everything is waiting for He Jin to kill the eunuch and become famous in one fell swoop, and then he can eat away step by step, and sit back and wait for He Jin to be happy and sad.
As a result, the eunuch had not been killed, and He Jin was killed first.
Until Yuan Shao saw He Jin's head, he couldn't figure it out, at this time, He Jin was idle and ran to the palace alone, what did Sai Shuo want to kill him back then, didn't he have a long memory?
He Jin entered the palace alone to ask to see the Queen Mother, but before the Empress Dowager He saw it, she saw the cruel smiles of many eunuchs, and then the general was already sad before he was happy, and the saddest was Yuan Shao.
He watched his plan go wrong in the most unlikely place, He Jin was gone, and all the remaining plans were in vain.
Whether it was to avenge He Jin, or to vent the anger in his heart, or to retreat at this time to leave a reputation first, Yuan Shao and others began to attack the eunuchs in the palace.
At this moment, Luoyang was in flames, and the swords and swords in the palace, the eunuchs and palace maids, whether guilty or innocent, all became fish under the knife at this time, and they were slaughtered by others.
And the rebels who stormed the palace didn't care if it would threaten His Majesty's safety, and even their generals didn't want to know about it.
He Jin died, and He Miao, the only one who could preside over the overall situation, had not had time to figure out what was going on, so he was first beheaded from behind by his general Wu Kuang, on the grounds that He Miao blessed the eunuchs and shared a nest of snakes and rats with them.
In this chaos, Liu Wei's legs trembled, and the hand holding the long sword was also nervous to the point of whiteness, at this time, he did not have the calmness when facing his mother.
On the contrary, Liu Xie, who was a few years younger than him behind him, was more calm, at least more calm on his face.
Just when Liu Wei was panicking, an old eunuch suddenly appeared in front of him, and he knew from his appearance that he was taking advantage of the chaos, and he was quite embarrassed.
At this time, as soon as he appeared, he went straight to Liu Wei, and then comforted him softly.
"Your Majesty, don't panic, come with the old slave, the old slave will definitely protect your safety."
Liu recognized that this was Zhang Rang, a close eunuch beside his father, and at this time, he looked at Zhang Rang's smile and didn't know if he should believe him.
However, he didn't seem to feel any danger from Zhang Rang's body, and the overwhelmed Liu Wei did not hesitate, nodded and followed Zhang Rang away.
Zhang Rang does have some ability, in this chaotic situation, Zhao Zhong and other eunuchs who were also born as ten permanent servants have been killed, but Zhang Rang found a way to survive, and Duan Qi and dozens of people sent Liu Wei out of this chaotic palace.
Liu Wei didn't know if this was a kind of hijacking, but at least after leaving the chaotic palace, the tension in Liu Bian's heart eased a lot.
It's just that he didn't relax for too long, just when they just rested, the pursuers behind had already been killed, and even some of the officials who had already retired rushed out with private soldiers to "rescue" them.
Liu Wei and Liu Xie watched Duan Jue being slashed and killed with a chaotic blade, and watched the attendants around him continue to decrease, and finally they came to the river and had no way to retreat.
Zhang Rang looked at the chasing soldiers who were slowly surrounding, as well as the officials and generals he didn't know, and suddenly showed a relieved smile, and turned to look at Liu Wei.
"Your Majesty, the old minister has dragged the blessing of the first emperor, corrupted the law, done evil, and acted as a prestige for so many years, and he has also enjoyed the days that ordinary people can't enjoy in ten lifetimes.
The old minister is grateful to the emperor for his favor and grace to the old minister, and also grateful to His Majesty for his trust in the old minister, but in the future, the old minister can no longer be by His Majesty's side, and His Majesty must take care. ”
After finishing speaking, Zhang Rang didn't give Liu Wei a chance to speak, turned around and yelled at the sky.
"Emperor Liu Wei of the Han Dynasty is here, you can't be presumptuous!" The shrill shout seemed to use all of Zhang Rang's strength, piercing the dark clouds in the dark night, and letting the moonlight shine on the world again.
And Zhang Rang, at the moment when the moonlight fell, calmly closed his eyes and fell towards the turbulent river.
And the moment he fell, he just whispered, "Your Majesty, the old minister has come to serve Your Majesty." ”
Zhang Rang's shouts stopped the crazy soldiers, and at the same time attracted another army, Dong Zhongying, who had been watching the changes, finally found the good opportunity he dreamed of.
And Liu Feng, who was also watching all this coldly on a mountain somewhere, also sighed silently.
Zhang Rang was not destined to be a good person, but this was a loyal servant, and at the last moment, he never thought of exchanging Liu Wei for anything, because he was afraid of hurting His Majesty.
Zhang Rang's death did not end the turmoil.
On the contrary, the fall of this evil eunuch, and even the fall of the eunuch power, opens up real chaos!
General Dong Zhuo Dong, who had been dormant for many years and was looked down upon like a wild dog, finally succeeded in entering the capital Luoyang, and as in history, he said that he was a member of the Empress Dowager Dong's family.
Fought with Ding Yuan, said that Lu Bu surrendered, forced Liu Wei to abdicate, and reprimanded Yuan Shao for being rude, which overshadowed the many forces around the Beijing Division who had entered the capital with him.
Just as Xu Yu didn't plan to cooperate with Dong Zhuo from the beginning, Li Ru didn't plan to cooperate with the Yuan family either.
Quickly control the forces of the Beijing Division, bluff to suppress the officials of Luoyang, use the imperial power to transfer the Emperor Fu Song back to the division, and finally send his henchmen to collect Yongliang soldiers and horses for his own use, Li Ru has just entered Luoyang City in such a stormy day, showing a strong ability to control the field.
Shengsheng let Dong Zhongying, who only had 5,000 soldiers and horses, sit firmly in the position of an important minister of the Han Dynasty.
took over the generals under He Jin and He Miao, defeated Ding Yuan and took over the state soldiers, by the way, Zhang Liao was not Dong Zhuo who took refuge under Ding Yuan at this time, this was Dong Zhuo who took refuge under He Jin's men.
Ding Yuan recruited him to engage, but after entering Luoyang, he was asked to leave by He Jin, and then went to Hebei to recruit thousands of soldiers as arm help, but as soon as he came back, He Jin was gone before he sat down.
Even if Zhang Liao had more than 1,000 people in hand, there was no way, in front of Yuan Shao and Dong Zhuo, Dong Zhuo still had this righteousness, so he could only take refuge in Dong Zhuo.
After the soldiers and horses were ready, Dong Zhuo began to replace the emperor, Dong Zhuo did not do good things in Luoyang, and used many Qingliu celebrities to write books in Dongguan from the new, wanting to coexist peacefully with the family, but the family could not accept to let a Xiliang husband become an important minister in the court.
So Dong Zhuo couldn't open the situation in Luoyang by mouth, so he chose sword soldiers, which worked very well, and he didn't even get too hindered to do such a thing as changing the emperor.
As a member of the Empress Dowager Dong's clan, he helped Liu Xie, the king of Chen Liu, to ascend the throne, and asked Liu Wei to abdicate as the king of Hongnong, which has nothing to do with Liu Xie's ability, but Dong Zhuo felt that he had the identity of the Empress Dowager Dong, so he was close to Liu Xie.
Everyone can see it, but no one wants to say it.
Empress Dowager He stepped in the footsteps of the Empress Dowager Dong and reunited with her brother, while Liu Wei was sent to Hongnong alone after living in the deep and dark abandoned palace for half a month.
This stay was a full number of months, from September of Guangxi's first year when he was sent to Hongnong, until he had passed a lonely Yuan Day, no one came to look for him again, but there were always hundreds of bright posts and secret posts around him to prevent him from escaping.
Liu Wei thought that he would be imprisoned here for the rest of his life, but in the first month of the following year, Yuan Shao, who had fled to Bohai, and Cao Cao, who had a roar of sour jujube, united, and they wanted to raise the banner of righteousness, and they wanted to overthrow Dong Zhuoqingjun's side.
And at this time, His Majesty the Emperor, who was abolished by Dong Zhuo, has once again become the top priority.
Dong Zhuo didn't have much feeling about the many forces that raised the army, the alliance at this time was just a nonsense, and the real main force in the world had not yet appeared.
Dong Zhuo couldn't help but sneer as he looked at Cao Cao and Yuan Shao with a group of soldiers who had just been recruited.
He was not afraid of the coalition forces, but he was afraid that Liu Wei would become someone else's tool again, so in order to ensure his own stability, he decided to let Liu Wei go to find his mother.
As Dong Zhuo's first confidant, Li Ru naturally became the executor, after all, this kind of thing is not something that can be done openly.
Li Ru brought the prepared poisonous wine to visit Liu Wei, the king of Hongnong, and put the poisonous wine in front of him.
Li Ru's smiling eyes told Liu Wei that you choose to be decent yourself, or a certain family helps you be decent, this is okay.
Just when Li Ru and Liu Wei both felt that things had not turned around, the soldiers outside ran in and told Li Ru that they were besieged.
