Luoyang City has been full of turmoil in recent times, and some of the major bureaucrats will die tragically at home or elsewhere every day.

Most of them died in different ways, some were besieged to death, some were killed by a single blow, some were beheaded, some were pierced by heart, but many more were killed by lightning!

The ones who were killed are not mentioned for the time being, but the kind that was killed by lightning makes people feel very mysterious, so for a while, people in Luoyang City were panicked, and people speculated about what bad things these bureaucrats who were struck by lightning had done, so that they were punished by God!

That's right, in the minds of these ordinary people, those who were killed by lightning must have been punished by God, not because they were superstitious or anything, but because the reputation of these people who were killed by thunder was generally not very good in Luoyang and the surrounding areas.

According to later statistics, as many as 50 bureaucrats died during this period, and the number of those who were killed by lightning alone accounted for 30!

And if it weren't for the fact that before this kind of lightning splitting punishment appeared, there were already bureaucrats who were constantly assassinated, and this number would probably be even more!

As a result, the people at the lower levels rushed to celebrate the death of this group of corrupt officials, while the bureaucrats at the upper levels were all in danger, for fear that this kind of thing would fall on their heads.

As for the higher-level powerholders in the court, they were constantly wondering which force had done such crazy things, and in the end, they all pointed to a few eunuchs in the imperial city: the ten permanent servants!

There are two reasons for this speculation, one is that these ten permanent servants have done crazy things like this incident before.

The second is because none of these dead officials and officers are from this eunuch faction!

or neutral, or hostile

thereupon

For a while, the impeachment of the DPRK and China was flying all over the sky, and all the spearheads were pointed at these ten ghostly eunuchs!

"Your Majesty, the Ten Standing Servants are crazy and cruel to my courtiers, their hearts will be different, I hope the emperor will find out about this matter and punish the eunuchs quickly!"

This is the gray-haired Shangshu Lu Zhi, with a straight waist and a loud voice, and the emperor Liu Hong frowned.

"Your Majesty, the eunuch party has a perverse personality, ignores the laws of our dynasty, is so arrogant and domineering, he doesn't take the emperor in his eyes at all, and asks the emperor to clear the eunuch party quickly, and return me to a bright and prosperous world!"

This is Taiwei Yang Ci, his eyes are cloudy, his head is full of white hair, trembling and trembling, he is already in his prime, but the words in his mouth have been agreed by most of the courtiers, so His Royal Highness and hundreds of officials bowed:

"Please ask the emperor to clear the eunuch party quickly, and return me to a bright future!"

"Please ask the emperor to clear the eunuch party quickly, and return me to a bright future!"

"Please ask the emperor to clear the eunuch party quickly, and return me to a bright future!"

“”

Seeing this, Emperor Ling felt that they were persecuting himself, so he was unhappy in his heart, and waved his hand and said: "It's a big matter, let me think about it." ”

After finishing speaking, he yawned and glanced at the little eunuch beside him.

The little eunuch came to his senses, then walked a few steps forward, and screamed: "Your Majesty is tired, retire early, if there is something important, we will discuss it tomorrow~!"

After saying that, regardless of the uproar below, he walked into the apse with the body of the Spirit Emperor in his arms.

"Faint king!" some of the angry courtiers couldn't help but curse in their hearts

On a new day, the sun was shining, Lu Yu walked out of the accommodation arranged by Ma Yuanyi for himself, looking at the fresh appearance of the sky, he was in a happy mood, and couldn't help but stretch lazily.

It just so happened that Ma Yuanyi on the opposite side walked out of his room, and when he saw Lu Yu like this, he said with a smile: "Brother Xian is really leisurely, and there is no gloom that a person with blood on his hands should have. ”

He arranged Lu Yu in his residence, which in addition to Lu Yu's unique identity, also had a sense of importance.

Except for Lu Yu, there are no other residents here, and the contact with the people in Taiping Dao is generally carried out in the study room of the outer courtyard.

Facing the words in Ma Yuanyi's mouth, Lu Yu smiled and said: "I kill what I should kill, and the person I want to kill feels taken for granted, so why should I only say it gloomily." ”

After that, I couldn't help asking, "Who will you kill today?"

Ma Yuanyi waved his hand and said, "The commotion is too big, and it's enough, so let's stop killing people for the time being." ”

"So"

"I have a very important task here. Ma Yuanyi suddenly interrupted what Lu Yu wanted to say.

"What task?" Lu Yu asked with interest.

"You come with me. With that, Ma Yuanyi turned around and walked into his room. Lu Yu also followed.

Entering the room, without waiting for Lu Yu to carefully look at the layout in the room, Ma Yuanyi took out an envelope from under his bedside pillow, handed it to Lu Yu, and motioned him to open it.

Lu Yu complied, then opened the envelope, opened the letter and looked at it, and the expression that had not been too concerned couldn't help but become more and more strange.

In the end, he finally couldn't help the strange feeling in his heart, looked up and asked, "Do you want me to pretend to be the nephew of Empress Dowager Dong?"

"You'll find out later. Ma Yuanyi replied a little perfunctorily, and then said: "Empress Dowager Dong was originally the wife of the vassal king, but she was stained with the light of her son Liu Hong and became the empress dowager. ”

After taking a breath, Ma Yuanyi continued: "This Dong Le is the heir of the younger brother of the Empress Dowager Dong, their family suffered from the plague in the early years, and the whole family died except for Dong Le, and Dong Le finally joined my Taiping Dao, but he didn't know anything about his life experience, if it weren't for someone in our Taiping Dao who recognized that the piece of jade pendant he carried was very precious and then became suspicious, and finally reported it to us, we would not find out that he still has this kind of life experience." ”

After that, Ma Yuanyi looked at Lu Yu and said, "Although this mission is in danger of being discovered, it is not too much of a danger. However, our Taiping Dao is very important, and it can even be said that the key point that determines the success or failure of our plan is that you are the younger brother of Brother Zhang Jiao, I can't force you, but I still hope you can consider it. ”

"What's important?" Lu Yu asked puzzled.

Pretending to be an ordinary person who went to Beijing to find relatives, although this relative is relatively special, even if he can successfully recognize his relatives, can it still affect the success or failure of Taiping Dao?

"Very important. Ma Yuanyi said: "What Taiping Dao needs is not the identity of the nephew of Empress Dowager Dong, but the position of the leader of the forbidden army in the imperial city!"

"You mean"

"That's right, the reason why I want to find someone to pretend to be Dong Le is that I hope to gain the trust of the Empress Dowager Dong, and then succeed in becoming the leader of the forbidden army!"

After Ma Yuanyi finished speaking, seeing that Lu Yu's face was still a little incomprehensible, he added: "You don't have to worry about whether you can successfully recognize your relatives in this task, and whether you can successfully become the leader of the forbidden army. ”

Lu Yu pondered for a moment, then asked again, "Then why are you looking for me?"

"Because you are capable, and you are fully able to trust. ”

Ma Yuanyi replied.

"Okay, last question, I don't know much about this aspect, what is the position of the leader of the forbidden army?"

"The leader of the forbidden army is responsible for the protection of the entire imperial city. ”
