The decisive battle was to break Dong Sun's 200,000 army in the night, kill 60,000 people, capture 110,000 people, Dong Zhuo awarded the head, and Yu Fanjian fled

The next day, the princes gathered in their tents to pay homage to the king

On the fifth day, the army returned to Luoyang

Luoyang

In the past few days, some order has been restored, and the officials who are still in the city have greeted each other for ten miles, as well as countless people in Luoyang, densely packed with hundreds of thousands of people

Seeing that it was noon, the crowd suddenly burst into cheers: "It's coming"

The cheers were like the tides, and everyone looked in high spirits

I saw flags waving in the distance, tens of thousands of cavalry in front, all dressed in iron armor, shining with cold light, and behind were neatly marching infantry.

These are all deliberately rectified when they arrive in front of the city.

A large number of guards passed by solemnly. Only then did I see the carriage and the ride, and the person in front of him was King Ying.

At this moment, the ministers and all the people unanimously knelt down, and the mountains shouted and the tsunami shouted: "Long live my emperor, long live, long live."

This wave of sound rushed up, and Ye Qing's heart was drunk in an instant, which was a manifestation of the military and civilians directly recognizing his status.

Wave after wave of cheers: "Hooray, hooray, hooray"

"The people's hearts are available" Ye Qing sighed, with a finger of his hand, in the sound of joy, the rolling torrent entered Luoyang, and when he arrived in Luoyang, it was another situation.

At this time, the soldiers and civilians could not talk about sprinkling flowers, but just the simple and simple food pot pulp of the father - this is enough to show the gratitude of the corresponding king.

"King Ying swept the crowd and killed Dong Thief, and he has already won the hearts of the people in Luoyang. Amid the cheers, several people wearing hats watched and spoke.

It's hard to say how sincere Bezhou County is, but Si Li, the rescuer of 2.6 million people, King Ying's reputation among the people is actually no different from that of Emperor Guangwu in the past

"It's very avoidable and terrifying, such a person, place, and time are all occupied, and it is not too much to call it the true son of heaven, the word long live is a little early, but it is not too early. ”

The people said with emotion, and looked at a first car.

On the first car, there was a black and fat corpse, it was Dong Zhuo, but it was set up on the street to show the public, seeing this, many people whose hometowns were burned down and their homes were ruined had red light in their eyes, and they shouted: "Dong thief, I know you."

Even if the sergeant is isolated, he can't stop countless people from rushing up, this leg and this cracked foot, fighting for a piece of meat for this thief, parade to the front of the Taimiao, except for the head sealed on the top of the fence, the other parts are scattered, many families take meat strips back to pay tribute to the soul, and there are many people who take Dong Zhuo's belly fat and anointing oil to light the sky lantern.

Ye Qing stood in front of the gate of the Taimiao, looking back at this Dong Zhuo's distorted head, he could sense a pitch-black soul wailing on it, and a trace of bruised and purple qi had long since faded with the demise of the military qi.

This was cursed by hundreds of thousands of unjust souls, and under the heavy red dragon qi, they wanted to destroy but couldn't.

"Your Majesty, this is a secret method for dealing with national thieves, and after dealing with it, unless this head is burned or pardoned by the emperor, it will be ruined forever. The Taimiao priest said.

I don't know if it's true or not, Ye Qing doesn't care about this, many things are deserved results, so he immediately retracted his gaze and said to the sacrifice: "Sacrifice the thief to the temple." ”

It is a Han tradition to dedicate the head of the chief to the temple, and there are many officials who are familiar with this aspect of the ceremony, because it is fully developed.

"Queen Mother, what else do you command?" Seeing the etiquette unfolding, Ye Qing was not interested, but just asked

In public, he will defend the dignity of the Queen Mother, because this is to maintain his own legitimacy.

The Queen Mother was dressed in plain white filial piety clothes today, and her expression was a little dazed, and then she came back to her senses, and her voice was cold: "According to the rules, they will be sent to the big arsenal and ranked with Wang Mang's head, so that these two thieves will always be forbidden by the world." ”

As soon as the ceremonial officer bowed, seeing that King Ying did not object, he went down with the wooden box of the thief's head.

He knew that "according to the rules" refers to Wang Mang's head, which has been collected in the arsenal by the royal family of successive dynasties, and is a historical symbol like the Chixiao Sword, but this is not a treasure, but only a manifestation of revenge.

Ye Qing smiled with some interest: "Speaking of which, I haven't visited the Great Arsenal yet, and I was immaculate in the military before, but today I am a little interested." ”

The Queen Mother's phoenix eyes were slightly surprised, and then softened again: "The king should supervise the country, and it is supposed to inspect the big arsenal." ”

The ministers looked at each other, but they were silent.

Ye Qing and the Queen Mother walked all the way down the white jade ladder, and Sen strictly forbade the guards not to squint, and guarded them all the way.

The deepest part of the Great Arsenal, the next thing to visit is the private collection of the royal families of the past dynasties, and the courtiers have stayed outside

There were no more ministers in the light of the torches, and the Queen Mother breathed a sigh of relief at this time and glanced at Ye Qing: "I was still learning the Tao with Mrs. Gan just now, if it weren't for the important ritual of the sacrifice, the mourning family really didn't want to come." ”

"The following courtiers, all of them are thousands of years old, and they look like loyal ministers, but thinking that not long ago, these ministers were still the courtiers of Dong Thief, and I felt a little tired in my heart. ”

"When the water is clear, there are no fish. Ye Qing listened to it and smiled, I don't know if what she said is true or not, or if she is indeed not keen on politics after concentrating on Taoism - she has seen too many ups and downs with the army, and now that the situation has become like this, it is natural to have this heart.

But about major matters, she still has some concerns: "The edict of the prison country has been issued, can the king be recruited in person?"

"Not for the time being, Luoyang is initially decided, the national fortune is open, it is inconvenient to move lightly, I stay here to calm people's hearts, and I still need the Queen Mother to issue an edict to appease the states and counties. ”

As soon as the Queen Mother heard it, she understood.

Theoretically, after the king supervised the country, he could promulgate his own will, but the authority was newly established, and the princes who did not go to Luo, Yizhou Mu Liu Yan, Xiliang Ma Teng, and Liaodong Gongsun Du could not be used.

There are also local governments that are maintained but will go bankrupt, and large local tyrants who are in turmoil, it is more appropriate to use the old name, and it will not matter in a few years.

"I'll do it when I get home. ”

"Don't ......be in a hurry," Ye Qing said for a long time, paying attention to the two sides of the hide.

I have to say that the collection of Han Chengqin, dating back to the primitive accumulation of thousands of years, has a good spiritual quality of many things, especially a lot of jade - when the spiritual energy was lacking before, it may just be of quality, but at this time, in the induction of the spirit rhino reflection divine art, it shows the spirit of jade.

"Many people on the ground talk about not finding treasures in the lower earth, but they don't know that it is because the Han people's cellaring habits are too bad, just like the evil dragon who likes to sleep in the gold and silver nest. ”

"Now these spiritual treasures are all your own......"

Ye Qing smiled, stroked an ancient long sword, and lit up

I couldn't help but flick my fingers with satisfaction, and said to the Queen Mother, who was still a little worried: "Actually, this is not a big deal, after punishing Dong and the thief, the sweeping trend has been completed, and any smart princes will know that there is no chance for development, and most of them will fight bravely against the thieves and surrender to me, in order to save the life and wealth of the family." ”

"Of course, the world is so big, there are always people who stubbornly resist the king's master, this kind of is not in the scope of consideration, maybe I haven't done it yet, and there will be a group of princes to attack...... This is the general trend, which makes people have to obey. ”

"The general trend lies in the Central Plains, the loess alluvial plain of Henan and Hebei, and then the land of Jingzhou, and these other princes are just corners. ”

Ye Qing smiled when he said this, a few days ago, he accepted the people who went to the soil regardless of their previous suspicions, and gave them corresponding treatment according to the time before and after.

Acceptance is one thing, and there is a price to pay for the previous behavior of the princes, and some powers have to be taken back by taking the opportunity, and some are reserved.

As long as Ye Qing is still there, these people can't afford to make waves.

And Dong Zhuo Yu Fan defeated, leaving a lot of trouble in Luoyang, when the night was scattered, the Xiliang army knew its sins, and so far some of them have been in chaos around Luoyang, stirring up the people in the chaos of migration, and it took a little effort to clean up and suppress it.

And the governor was stationed in Chenliu County, which was outside the Tiger Prison Pass, and several small princes who were not long-sighted followed, but in the end they were lonely and irretrievable, and they were damaged many times, and the calculation was only 80,000.

This force is not enough for Ye Qing's reorganized 300,000 strong soldiers.

Ye Qing sent Guan Yu to occupy the Tiger Prison Pass, the gateway to the east of Luoyang, and ignored Cao Jun.

Although the Queen Mother was a little uneasy, in the eyes of women, this kind of enemy wanted to be killed directly, but she didn't know that this involved a game on the ground, Ye Qing had the Dragon Monarch who could overpower the governor, and used the convenience of coming to Heaven to suppress the righteousness of the imperial court, in fact, Yan Shenyuan was already over.

Is a governor without official authority still called a governor?

It's just a gallless old official, even Yu Fan's evaluation among the family is better than that of this old official.

"It's a pity that Cao Mengde has been a hero for half a lifetime. Ye Qing smiled and sighed, watching Dong Zhuo's head being placed on an altar, in the red light, juxtaposed with an unfamiliar head: "Is this Wang Mang?"

"It's the puppet new emperor who is a thief. The Queen Mother frowned, because of the personal experience of the Queen Mother of the last dynasty, she hated this kind of usurper very much.

Ye Qing smiled and circled around with some interest, and found that there were several layers of this altar, in addition to the highest two heads of the calamity, there were also some heads of Qiang beard hairstyles.

"This is the head of the former Han Dynasty Emperor Wu when Huo Quai's illness killed Zuo Xian Wang, this is the former Han Yuan Emperor when Chen Tang killed the Xiongnu Zhizhi Shan in the Western Regions, this is the head of some lords of the Western Regions obtained by Ban Chao in the Later Han Ming Emperor, this is the head of the Empress Dowager Dou who destroyed the Northern Huns when she was in power...... "The Queen Mother pointed to the miserable white heads and explained the past, and her brows did not wrinkle.

Ye Qing secretly wondered to himself, this kind of collection of first-level barbarians, the legacy style sounds like a barbarian style, but it is actually a characteristic of the Han and Qiang systems.

The Xiongnu used it as a urinal, and then it was regarded as black history by the Confucian scholars, and it was never mentioned.

Ye Qing felt that those Confucian scholars were childish, and they didn't need Confucianism to smear and flaunt their own merits...... History is written by the victors, and the victors are not only military affairs, but also literary affairs.

Showing the head of the enemy in a dignified manner, this is the wind of a king - the truth is not as good as the heavenly court.

Thinking like this when he came out for a moment, Ye Qing looked at the door of the arsenal and stroking the Chixiao Sword in his hand, feeling that there was something to be prepared for.

"The following earth spiritual qi is depleted of the environment, and the meritorious deeds are monstrous for three generations and declines, and the gentleman's Ze is only seven generations, unless the Kong clan and the Zhang clan each have their own Taoist sacrifices and can maintain dozens of generations?"

"Even if the five emperors of the earthly world shine brightly, and the remnants of the five virtues are endless, they have become legends in the world. ”

"Legend has it that the Black Emperor and the Blue Emperor rose millions of years ago, each with its own bloodline and unusual style, but it was too long ago, and even the posture and appearance have long been ignored...... This is especially true of the Emperor of the Immortals, what is he considered to be the founder of the country?"

"And it's about to return to the earth in a blink of an eye, and it's time to wait......"

Wenwu was still waiting in the front warehouse master hall of the arsenal, Zhang Fangbiao came over at this time and said: "Lord, the recent situation, Gao Shun and Wang Yun went to Chang'an, honored the puppet emperor, and ordered Dong Zhuo's rest of the troops to surrender. ”

That's really untimely...... Ye Qing's eyes cooled.
