Volume 1 Chapter 379 Puppet Emperor
Luoyang City
There is a curfew in the city, there are soldiers standing at the entrances of important streets, the doors of every house are closed, and from time to time there are soldiers of armor, meticulously patrolling along the walls, with solemnity in the silence, the patrols of the inner city and the outer city have been strengthened a lot, and there is a tense atmosphere invisibly.
A few days ago, there were rumors of various news in various parts of the lower earth, and the people on the earth returned silently, influencing the process of the world in their own way.
In the streets and alleys, the husband carries small lanterns, beats gongs or bangzi, and in the mansions, there are singing, dancing and drinking, and singing in a low voice.
Diao Chan looked at the sky, there was a fire not far away, and the screams could not be heard, but from time to time there were flocks of night birds flying up, hovering in the sky, making a desolate cry, which was not a very good omen, and could not help but feel a little melancholy.
"Is there any message?" she asked, turning around.
"Here" said a middle-aged man, a man of nearly fifty years, of medium stature, with some snow-white temples and bright eyes.
After reading it, this made Diao Chan very satisfied, and nodded frequently.
The changes in the soil, the most prominent information changes, and the major war news are required to be grasped by each family as soon as possible, and the time has come to compete for speed.
Diao Chan knew that the lord of the Dao was relying on the two ladies of Mi Gan to study the news plate in Xiatu two years in advance, and I heard that the governor and Yu Fan also have them now, but the aura of the lower earth is different from that on the ground, and the communication involves a very subtle level, which is developed and adjusted by real people or the cooperation of a large number of magicians.
The limitations are very large, even other people on the ground, do not have the strength to develop their own, all using the traditional way of combining fast horses and carrier pigeons.
I don't have a corresponding Dao Dharma interrogation plate in this regard.
However, the existing communication is also very fast.
The Qin Dynasty built a plank road to Shu), the straight road to the Jiuyuan Great Wall (the ancient version of the military highway), the nine gallop roads (the ancient version of the national highway), the rail network (the ancient version of the railway network, rammed earth roadbed, transverse sleepers, and then replaced the rail paving with a hardwood long rail, which was used to pass the carriage with a unified wheel base, which was known as "car with rail" in history...... Establish a vast road network with Guanzhong as the core, and a post station communication system attached to it.
The Han Dynasty inherited the Qin Dynasty's road and post station network, and only transferred the core to Luoyang to the east, and the traffic in the Central Plains was very convenient, and the post station communication system was also in the hands of Luoyang, which could directly transmit news through the Chidao Road of Hugao Pass.
Diao Chan has been cultivated since he was a child, and he is very familiar with the historical evolution of these imperial courts in terms of women's affairs and political affairs, so it is not surprising that Dong Zhuo will get information.
The news of Empress Dowager He's "disappearance" and Xu Rong's death in battle reached Luoyang within two days, of course, this is the news of the blockade, but the lady network that Diao Chan has operated in the past two years is almost pervasive, and the palace ban of the original north and south palaces is like a leaky sieve, and the news was obtained in less than an hour.
Dong Zhuo was furious, most of them felt a deep chill, and adopted a high-pressure policy internally, and at the same time, in order to relieve the pressure on the soldiers of the Xiliang Army so as not to bomb the camp, he began to loot some counties in Luoyang, and the residents in the Sili area fell into a storm.
"What will happen to this thief to the outside world?" Diao Chan frowned and thought, and this kind of looting is simply a rogue-style method, has something happened inside Dong Zhuojun?
"Miss, my lord is visiting. The maid came over and whispered.
Diao Chan was stunned, and after a few seconds, she understood that this was not Ye Qing, but the original Wang Yun, and asked a few words at the moment, it turned out that Wang Yun was summoned through Zhang Liao's channel, saying that there was an urgent matter to contact her father-in-law.
Diao Chan did not choose this village, but chose a safe branch outside the city, and she understood the truth of the three caves of the cunning rabbit.
The time of the conversation was chosen in the evening, which was when Luoyang was relatively lively, it was easy to mix in the crowd, and then the shadows of the night were more convenient to hide, and she was not afraid of moonlight.
She exhaled, thought about it, and said to the maid Ying'er: "This matter needs to be informed of General Zhang Wenyuan, and you will go over in person." ”
"Isn't the visible person the master?" Ying'er was stunned.
This kind of notification is a bit risky now, but at this time, the patriarchal law is strict, and if you recognize the concubine, you are the concubine, and you must also prevent it?
Diao Chan's eyes were calm, and he said lightly: "I know that he is the master - go and inform him." ”
"Yes" Ying'er didn't dare to ask more, and hurried away.
Seeing her leave, Diao Chan sighed silently, squatted down and sat down, looking at the frightened birds in the night sky, and suddenly felt a burst of pathos in her heart.
Just thinking about it, I heard the faint sound of plucking the kite in the distance, and sighed again for a long time.
In fact, due to the pressure of underground work, she rarely trusts people now, and even has a magic circle when she sleeps, and in her dreams she clutches the five jade talismans left by her lord - each talisman corresponds to one of the five elements, although the distance of escape is only a pitiful ten meters, but it can already save her life when it is critical.
This is strung together into a delicate five-color bracelet and fastened to her hand.
Being able to block all the five elements, except for the space-time boundary membrane, can only be done by the Immortal Garden, which is not within her consideration.
"I really hope that Luoyang is over, and I will return to the lord's side as soon as possible...... "She thought, remembering the promise here that she promised to come to pick her up in person, or maybe she could really break the tiger prison and come to Luoyang in time, right?
Holding the five-color bracelet, she sat alone in the dark, in a daze.
After a while, she felt that the moon was about to rise, so she opened the window door, and the first rays of moonlight silently melted into her body, so that her skin was covered with a faint layer of silver, like the moonlight giving birth to an elf
When the agreed time came, Diao Chan soon arrived at the village.
There are only two hectares of land (200 acres) in this partial village, which is a heavenly person in the eyes of tenants, but it is inconspicuous in the entire Luoyang neighborhood and will not attract people's attention.
A group of personal soldiers entered silently and guarded the vital points.
There are ten infantry elite armor with him, as well as five Changshui Battalion marksmen, so that the force and Diao Chan's own martial arts are enough to support for a period of time in various unexpected situations.
In the entire Luoyang area, Diao Chan was afraid that Dong Zhuojun might collude with the Taiping Sect.
When Xingwang Yun came, he was obviously not followed.
He is a very vigilant and even cunning fox-like person, from this point of view, this father and daughter are in the same line, not blood, but since childhood education, words and deeds.
In the evening breeze, Diao Chan met him in the courtyard, with a calm attitude, and got up and bowed: "Father." ”
Wang Yun was slightly stunned when he saw her, he almost couldn't recognize this daughter, and secretly sighed that she was really getting more and more beautiful, and just nodded at this time: "Too many things have happened in the past two years, since the heroes left Beijing, Dong Zhuo has a strong power, especially after Zhang Liao of the infantry battalion of the Northern Army and Liu Biao of the shooting battalion defected to Dong Zhuo...... Now, of course......"
Diao Chan looked at him calmly, although he was very old, his face was fair-skinned and thin, but he had a calm and resolute look.
This old man has hardly changed, and he is still stubborn in his bones...... But she's changed.
She has not forgotten the righteousness of the old man who taught her, and she has not lost her admiration for the old man, but she has seen too many unspeakable things, far beyond the scope of the old man's understanding.
These words sounded like a dream.
Listen, just laughing, to continue her race, she needs to have a strong force, and if she wants to have a strong force, she needs to follow the lord.
At this time, after listening to this, she said: "General Wenyuan and General Jingsheng are loyal to the Son of Heaven, the Queen Mother, not the gate valve, and they can't talk about betrayal." ”
"I know the way, I know the way, you are really influenced by him......" Wang Yun was stunned, stopped, shook his head and sighed, did not fight anymore, just stared at his daughter's eyes: "I want to ask a question - Dong Zhuo's poisoning of the young emperor, the night of March 3 was chaotic, several families were doing it, there were killings and guarantees, but the young emperor was still dead, I can't say anything, and I won't ask." ”
That night, Zhao Zilong hijacked the Queen Mother out of the palace, which actually saved the Queen Mother's life, and now it is secret that the Queen Mother is coming to Xuchang, and the Queen Mother is fine, and it is a celebration to be a courtier. ”
"No matter how your current lord calculates, it is better than being killed by Dong thieves...... I don't have anything to say either.
"I just want to ask one thing. Wang Yun's eyes sharpened and stared at her.
"First of all, it is that Emperor Xian fell to his death, there are different opinions, but Dong Thief does not need to do this, who is this, does your lord have a say?"
"Also, the Queen Mother is missing, and the Six Seals of the Son of Heaven and the Queen's Seal are missing, do you know?
Wang Yun asked, and when he said these words, there was an invisible coercion.
Diao Chan's head moved, if it was before, it might be full of cold sweat, but at this time, it seems that he didn't realize it - Wang Yun knew all these things, this person has attainments and a record in high-level serial secret schemes, she groaned at the moment, and replied cautiously: "The two emperors have died one after another, and the six seals of the Son of Heaven are in the hands of the Queen Mother, what is wrong with this?"
"The jade seal of the country is even higher than the six seals of the Son of Heaven, if the lord is interested, why not take the jade seal of the country?" Diao Chan asked lightly.
The jade seal of the country is different from the six seals of the Son of Heaven, the six seals of the Son of Heaven can be carved, and the jade seal of the country symbolizes the destiny of heaven.
Hearing this, Wang Yun thought about it, his expression relaxed a little, and asked, "What about the emperor's sacrifice?"
Diao Chan was taken aback by his question, but his expression seemed to be smiling and said: "Father, why do you ask me, you should ask Dong Thief, Cao Gong, and Yuan Family." ”
As soon as she said this, Wang Yun fell silent, what she meant was very simple, in terms of suspicion, these families were much more suspicious than her own lord.
Wang Yunzhi couldn't get an answer if he asked no matter how much he asked, and Cao Cao in this history was indeed very suspicious...... Without it, he has simply changed a person before and after, and this person is acting unscrupulously in Yanzhou, treating the court as nothing, and has openly killed the court too much.
Thinking of this, Wang Yun couldn't help but sigh.
"That's it, I believe you are telling the truth, just ...... today"
Diao Chan interrupted his words at this time, and said quietly: "Father, please be cautious, Dong thief and two saints, how can he establish an emperor, the saint is not there, the queen mother is respected, and there is no permission from the queen mother - this is a pseudo-emperor"
As soon as these words fell, the scene suddenly became cold, and Wang Yun couldn't help but turn pale.
