When you arrive in Luoyang, you should be able to see the outline of Luoyang City to be precise, because Luoyang City is so majestic, so although there is still a long distance away, it is easy to see.

The white lion under Ma Chao's crotch also knew that he was about to get home, so he seemed very excited. In this regard, it is the same as its owner, they all do not like to be tired from running around, and it must feel better at home. Ma Chao was on the horse, and at this time he secretly said in his heart, Luoyang, I, Ma Mengqi, are back again! Although Luoyang is not his hometown, it is a place where he has been working hard for his ideals, so compared with other places, Luoyang does have a deep revolutionary feeling for himself.

After entering Luoyang City, everyone parted ways, Zhang asked him to rush back to the palace to see Liu Hong, and Huangfu Song and Zhu Jun also wanted to see Liu Hong first, because they also brought a prisoner Zhang Bao, which was for Liu Hong to deal with. As for Ma Chao, Chen Zhi, Cui Hong's father and son, and Wu Anguo, they naturally returned to Mafu together. But before a few people's buttocks were hot, after a while, a small yellow door came to the palace, he came to pass on Liu Hong's message, saying that His Majesty invited Ma Chao and Cui Hong to enter the palace immediately to meet him, without delay.

Alas, what should have come will come after all, isn't this really coming? There was no way, Ma Chao and Cui Hong had no choice but to enter the palace immediately to see Liu Hong.

On the way to the palace with the two of them, Cui Hong thought a lot. In fact, as early as before, when he was still in Jizhou, he talked with Ma Chao for a long time. To say that he can raise the flag and rebel with Zhang Jiao, it is indeed not that he is willing to do so, but in the final analysis, it is because he owes Zhang Jiao a favor, so if he can't pay it back, then this can be said to have always been a knot in his heart, and maybe when he may become a demon.

I think that at the beginning, for the sake of Cui Hong's father's hatred, the three brothers Zhang Jiao can be said to have dared to go deep into the cottage alone regardless of the danger. This is nothing more than righteousness, it can be said that the three of them are absolutely interesting and righteous to Cui Hong, so that Cui Hong was deeply moved, so he followed Zhang Jiao to raise the flag and rebel, and this was to repay the kindness of his three brothers in the past.

But as time went by, Cui Hong slowly discovered that Zhang Jiao was no longer the Zhang Jiao he used to be, and he was slowly changing. Not to mention Taiping Dao and the Yellow Turban Army, so the ultimate defeat of the Taiping Dao and the Yellow Turban Army was actually expected by him, and he was not surprised at all.

And since following Zhang Jiao at the beginning, Cui Hong knew that he had actually embarked on a road of no return and could not turn back. But he has never regretted this, just like the three brothers Zhang Jiao did not hesitate to help him regardless of the danger. If he hadn't met Ma Chao, he felt that he might either die in the chaos or commit suicide in the worst case, and the worst result, he felt that the latter had a greater chance, which was more in line with his character.

But the moment he saw his son and student, he remembered that he had forgotten it before, or in fact, he deliberately let himself selectively forget, it turned out that he still had a son and student, and he was not so alone. He felt that this was the will of heaven, and that it was God who had separated himself from the Taiping Dao. In fact, it doesn't seem to be anything to think about yourself like this, because after all, you are already worthy of Zhang Jiao.

I have been in Taiping Road for ten years, and it can be said that there is no credit and hard work. And although he is usually very low-key, he is never ambiguous in doing things, and he has always done it seriously, asking himself, Cui Hong feels that he is definitely worthy of Zhang Jiao and Taiping Dao.

But he still has a son and a student. To say that he is now at this age, it can be said that he has already seen through life and death. But I have to think more about my son and students. I can simply die to thank the world, but what about my sons and students, what will they think, they will definitely be disappointed in themselves and blame themselves deeply, and they can't be sorry for them anymore. So Cui Hong naturally didn't choose to seek death or anything, it wasn't him, that's him.

Before leaving Guangzong, Cui Hong stayed in front of Zhang Jiao's tomb for a long, long time. Maybe it's because he's about to leave, so this is the longest he's been here, and he's the only one who doesn't know what he's saying. But he didn't cry, because after learning that Zhang Jiao had died of illness, he only cried once, and he never shed a single tear about it since. Then, he returned to Luoyang with Ma Chao and Cui An, because he still had to wait for Liu Hong to make a decision to send him down.

"Mr. Cui, sir, we have entered the palace, you, what's wrong?"

Before he knew it, he had already entered the palace, but Ma Chao saw that Mr. Cui seemed to be out of the world, so he reminded him. In the palace, you have to pay attention all the time, you have to be careful, you can't do it.

"Ah, Meng Qi, what's the matter, it's already here?"

Ma Chao nodded when he heard this, and whispered to him: "Mr. Cui, I'm about to see Your Majesty!" ”

Cui Hong also nodded after listening to Ma Chao's words, to be honest, he was a little nervous at this time. Because after all, it was the first time to see the emperor, and he was still a guilty person who came to see him, and he didn't know how His Majesty could send himself down, Cui Hong thought.

After seeing Liu Hong, the two hurriedly saluted, "Minister Ma Chao meets His Majesty!" ”

"Sinner Cui Hong, I've seen Your Majesty!"

Cui Hong also hurriedly knelt down and saluted, now he is a big man, and he doesn't have that long live long live, long live those ones, so it's okay to bow down on a formal occasion, without saying too much.

"The two of you are exempt, sit down!"

This is a good phenomenon, Ma Chao said in his heart, Liu Hong let himself and Mr. Cui sit down, so does this mean ...... However, Ma Chao knows that he should not think too simply, there must be something to come.

"Your Majesty!"

"Your Majesty!"

After Ma Chao sat down, he carefully looked at the few people present, and he knew that there were people before, but he really didn't pay much attention to it. After looking at it this time, Ma Chao knew it. It can be said that except for Dong Zhuo, who is far away in Jizhou, everyone who can come on the battlefield in Jizhou is here.

Next to Liu Hong stood Zhang Rang, while Huangfu Song and Zhu Jun, Cao Cao and Sun Jian were all present now. It seems that everyone is here, Ma Chao said in his heart. But he forgot that it wasn't that they all came, but that they hadn't left at all before, so Ma Chao didn't think it was right.

"Just now, I have already punished Zhang Baoche of Taiping Road, I don't know what Aiqing thinks?"

Liu Hong's words were said to Ma Chao, on the surface, it seemed to be asking Ma Chao, but in reality, this is not the case at all, and this Ma Chao naturally understands.

"Your Majesty, Zhang Bao, anti-thief! Everybody gets it! Ma Chao replied firmly.

Liu Hong smiled after hearing this, "Yes, everyone who is a traitor will be punished!" It seems that Aiqing also agrees with my decision! ”

At this time, when Cui Hong heard the conversation between the two, his heart immediately cooled, he was not worried about anything, but after Zhang Bao was sentenced to death by the car, then now the three brothers of Zhang Jiao are gone. Cui Hong has been friends with them for more than 20 years, and now that they are gone, he will inevitably feel uncomfortable, this is all human nature.

After Liu Hong finished speaking, he immediately put away his smile and continued to say to Ma Chao expressionlessly: "Ma Chao! ”

"The minister is here!" When Ma Chao heard this, he quickly stood up and walked out of the line.

"I ask you, are you guilty?" Liu Hong raised his eyebrows and asked Ma Chao sharply.

"The minister is guilty, please punish Your Majesty!"

Ma Chao has always been daring, and this is not a big deal at all. Besides, he still has use value anyway, so it is absolutely impossible for him Liu Hong to kill himself, so what else is there to be afraid of, isn't it.

"Okay, proclamation!" Liu Hong said to Zhang Rang next to him, and then handed him the holy decree that had already been prepared.

After Zhang Rang received the holy decree, he opened it and read it out loud, "Right Zhonglang secretly hid Ma Chao from the remnants of Taiping Dao, did not listen to the advice of Pao Ze, insisted on going his own way, and ignored the laws of the Han Dynasty. This revolution will remove the post of his right middle general, and he will be fined half a year, and he will be fined. ”

"Chen Ma Chao, thank you! Thank you, Your Majesty! Ma Chao knelt on the ground and said loudly, kowtowing and thanking him.

Liu Hong's punishment for him is indeed very light, in terms of Ma Chao's family background, his cooperation with the Mi family has always been making money, so let alone a fine salary for half a year, even if he doesn't give him a big amount of money in the future, it will have no impact on him at all.

As for the removal of the official position, it was because of the need to lead the troops in the war, so Liu Hong gave Ma Chao the official position of a right lieutenant general, because you can't let him be a city gate captain to lead the army to fight. So that can only be regarded as temporary, but now that the battle has been fought, Ma Chao has returned to Beijing, so, right? However, whether this right middle lang will have or not, in fact, is not so important to Ma Chao, because he didn't expect too much about what this right middle lang will be able to do.

"Alright, get up!"

"Your Majesty!" After Ma Chao received the decree from Zhang Rang, he stood up, and then returned to his seat.

To say that everyone present, except for Zhu Jun, everyone else has no opinion on Liu Hong's punishment of Ma Chao. Naturally, they could all see that His Majesty didn't want to severely punish Ma Chao, and everyone had this intention before, so it could be said that they were in the middle of it, so they wouldn't say anything.

Only Zhu Jun is still a little unwilling, but he won't be like last time this time, because this time the emperor is personally in charge here, so if you have an opinion, isn't it equivalent to questioning Your Majesty, and besides, you know that you can't do it alone after all, because the amount of strength is limited. So unwilling to be unwilling, but he can't do anything, and he can't say anything, this time he feels even more aggrieved, and it's even more helpless, this is "people are under the roof, they have to bow their heads".

Ma Chao's matter was dealt with, and Liu Hong said again: "Cui Hong! ”

"The sinner Cui Hong is here!" Cui Hong also learned from Ma Chao.

"You are guilty!"

Liu Hong sank his face and asked him. Although this statement should generally be questioning, Liu Hong's tone is unusually firm.

"Your Majesty, sinners, guilty!" Cui Hong knelt on the ground and kowtowed.

When Liu Hong looked at Cui Hong, he frowned, this was the first time he had seen Cui Hong, but no matter how he looked at Cui Hong, Cui Ruhong didn't look like a person who dared to rebel. This, this kneeling down is clearly a scribe, a scholar, and a very old scholar. I'll just say how did those moth thieves defeat so quickly, if they were all like this and rebelled with Zhang Jiao, it really wouldn't last long, Liu Hong thought so in his heart.

If you want to talk about Cui Hong himself, he really won't rebel, but isn't there a special reason? Cui Hong is a person who has read the books of sages and sages, so he accepts those loyal and patriotic thoughts, so if you let him rebel, he will definitely not do it without a special reason. So don't look at him, he is indeed disappointed and dissatisfied with the big man, but he will not rebel like that. So even today, he is ashamed of this, he has read the sage books for so many years in vain, and he still followed Zhang Jiao in the end.

Otherwise, people will always be in a contradiction, for example, Cui Hong is like this. He knew that Lu Dao should not rebel, but he still went helplessly after the end, knowing that Lu Dao was reading the sage book for nothing, but he still had to rebel, isn't this a contradiction.

"Cui Hong, you joined the Taiping Dao and rebelled against the imperial court, so you should be beheaded!!" Liu Hong said sharply.

Could it be that Liu Hong wants to kill him, of course not, he is just scaring him. With Ma Chao's relationship, Liu Hong will never kill him, because in his opinion, Cui Hong is an important person who buys Ma Chao's heart.

I only heard Liu Hong continue: "But you don't have any evil deeds, and Ma Chao interceded for you, and you are so old, so just ask for it!" However, the death penalty can be avoided, the living crime cannot be escaped, from today on, I order you to return to Fufeng Maoling's hometown immediately, without a holy decree, you will not be allowed to go out of Maoling for the rest of your life! ”

"Sinners, thank you!"

Cui Hong didn't expect that he would still be alive, because when he heard the question, he felt that he was like this. Unexpectedly, the emperor didn't kill himself in front of his students, which was a bit unexpected.

"Alright, you can get up too!"

Liu Hong waved his hand at Cui Hong and said, seeing that he is so old, Liu Hong can't let him kneel all the time. If he hadn't killed him, but something had gone wrong because he was kneeling, then Liu Hong would have felt that he was the most wronged person in the world.

"Your Majesty!" Cui Hong quickly stood up, and then returned to his seat.

It can be said that Ma Chao is very satisfied with the result of this punishment, or he also wants Mr. Cui to go home to support the elderly, but Liu Hong will do it for him, so I really want to thank Liu Hong.

After that, Liu Hong talked to everyone about the battle on the Jizhou battlefield, and after the conversation was almost over, there was nothing else, so Liu Hong drove everyone home.
