Chapter 140: Luoyang Storm (5)
Empress Dowager He also saw Yuan Shao chasing and killing the palace people in the car, and knew that Yuan Shao was a subordinate of his brother He Jin, and he was the one who advocated the punishment of eunuchs. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 infoIt was the person in front of him who caused the death of his brother. Empress Dowager He was excited, but on the surface, she was silent, soothing with kind words, and persuaded Yuan Shao to lead troops to help Liu Bei and save the Son of Heaven.
Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu brothers crisscrossed the South Palace and destroyed this place to the point that it could not be seen, so they swaggered and led the troops to the North Palace.
At this time, Liu Bei had already broken through the Deyang Gate and besieged the Deyang Palace. Zhang Rang and others robbed the Son of Heaven and hundreds of officials, and they did not come out in the Deyang Palace.
Liu Bei and others threw rat traps, fearing that Zhang Rang and others would be cornered and make a spicy move, so they did not besiege him. As soon as Yuan Shao arrived, he wanted to raise troops to attack. Liu Bei hurriedly stopped.
Yuan Shao said angrily: "What does Xuande mean by this? ”
Liu Bei said: "Brother Benchu, the Son of Heaven is in the palace with King Chen Liuwang and the Minister, how can he raise troops to attack each other, and if there is damage, how can it be good?" ”
Yuan Shaonai said: "Can a thief still dare to harm the Son of Heaven?" ”
Liu Bei persuaded again: "Brother Ben, why was the general killed?" I'm not afraid of 10,000, I'm afraid of what if. If you and I force the thief to want to burn all the jade, we are all sinners through the ages! ”
Yuan Shao did not stop, especially did not give up, and led the troops to surround the gates of the halls of the North Palace. At this time, Zhang Rang and the others also panicked. They just want to live. Seeing that the general was aggressive, he really couldn't kill the general. Then he ordered Fan Ling to lead the lieutenant, and Shaofu Xu Xiang to lead Henan Yin to see if he could ensure his personal safety. As a result, I didn't expect those soldiers to dare to attack the imperial city and set it on fire.
At this point, they are also in a hurry, and they don't know what to do. Killing the general was temporary, and at this time he was surrounded by the forbidden army, not to mention letting them kill people, killing chickens was a problem. Even if the Son of Heaven and King Chen Liuwang were still in their hands, they would not dare to act rashly.
In addition to the Son of Heaven and King Chen Liu, many ministers on duty in the palace were also kidnapped by Zhang Rang and others. However, eunuchs are eunuchs, and they kidnapped so many precious meat tickets, but they didn't know how to use them, but they felt that they were all hot potatoes, and they couldn't wait to throw them out immediately, and then they would be safe and sound......
When Yuan Shao and Liu Bei were arguing outside, Zhang let them worry inside, one by one, you look at me, I look at you. I don't know what to do next.
After thinking about it, Zhang Rang gritted his teeth and waited, yes, it was better to take one step at a time, and escape from the North Palace first. So he robbed the Son of Heaven, Chen Liuwang, etc., and withdrew from the imperial city after the Deyang Palace. When he arrived in Beibei and wanted to cross the river, Zhang Rang and others saw that there were a large number of people, so they let go of the hundred officials and ministers who were in the way. only robbed the Son of Heaven and Chen Liuwang, Liu Xie, and wanted to cross the river.
At this time, Liu Bei saw it clearly, flew out of the flying horse, fired several arrows in succession, and shot Guo Sheng, Song Dian and others at the ferry. Zhang Rang and the others were in turmoil, and when Lu Zhi saw this, he flew up a halberd and stabbed Duan to the ground. Zhang Rang was shocked and held the Son of Heaven in front of him. Seeing this, Liu Bei turned his horse back. The generals and hundreds of officials scolded, but they could only watch Zhang Rang and others cross the river.
Liu Beizheng instructed the sergeant to search for the ferry, but saw a crowd of people coming all the way. arrived at the front, but it was Peng Mingong in the middle of Henan who was ordered by Yin Wangyun in Henan to come to help. Liu Bei asked him to follow his army.
The hundred officials were frightened, and they were old and old, the weak were weak, it was useless to cross the river, and in the city of Luoyang, officials were needed to stabilize the situation, although the queen mother was there, it was impossible to show her head. So Lu Zhi discussed with Liu Bei and Yuan Shao, and asked the officials and ministers to go back to the city and assist the Queen Mother to control the situation.
Liu Bei and others found a ferry boat and crossed the river all the way, Zhang Rang and others were eunuchs, and the Son of Heaven and Chen Liuwang were young, lacking strength, and did not go fast. After a while, he was caught up by Liu Bei and others. Lu Zhi was behind, shouting and scolding, he had a strong personality, and he couldn't see this disobedience. Although he was covered in dust and tired, he refused to go back to the city to rest. insisted on seeing the Son of Heaven get out of danger. Liu Bei couldn't, so he had to follow him.
After walking slowly for a long time, the Son of Heaven was hungry, Liu Bei slaughtered a sheep with Min Gong and brought several bags of water over to offer. Min Gong went to Zhang Rang's place and let the Son of Heaven eat, and then scolded angrily: "...... Since the death of the new people, traitors and thieves have not been like kings. If you don't die quickly, you will bring disaster to your clan! ”
Zhang Rang and the others were hungry and tired, and they really couldn't support it anymore. If you can't escape, kill the Son of Heaven, they don't have the courage and guts.
So he was terrified, and bowed with his hands crossed: "Please see General Liu." They fled all the way, and they had already seen Liu Bei's banner. Compared with others, it is still this old enemy who makes them feel more at ease.
As soon as Min Gong came back and told Liu Bei, Liu Bei was going to drive his horse closer. Yuan Shao grabbed the reins of the horse and said, "Xuande, everyone can be punished for the chaos and thieves, and it is very good." You and I can step forward and slash to death with a sword. ”
Liu Bei sighed, Yuan Shao, the bastard, didn't know why, he always targeted himself intentionally or unintentionally along the way, and he didn't know where he offended him. "Brother Benchu, let's listen to what the eunuch wants to do first, it's the right thing to rescue the Son of Heaven, and everything else can be postponed."
He no longer cared about Yuan Shao, walked up to Zhang Rang, and said, "What's the matter?" "The attitude is very bad, and it can't be good.
Zhang Rang bowed and said, "General Liu borrowed a step to speak. ”
Liu Bei didn't know what he meant, but he still followed the eunuch to the side, he was not afraid that Zhang Rang would break out, he was not He Jin.
Zhang Rang saw that there was no one around, so he bowed to the ground and cried: "General Liu, the old slave and others do such things that are angry with the gods, and they deserve to die, and I hope that General Liu will have mercy and leave a bloodline of our clan as an heir." ”
Liu Bei was stunned at first, and then sneered, Nima, why did you go earlier. killed the general, robbed the queen mother, the son of heaven and hundreds of officials, and committed such heinous crimes of the three clans, but he still wanted to leave an incense heir?
Although Liu Bei has a benevolent heart, he also has to divide the object. Zhang Rang and others have been troubled by national politics for decades, and they have hardly done anything good. It was under the nonsense of this kind of person that the Han gradually weakened. Liu Bei only wanted to chop the person in front of him into minced meat, where did he have the heart to save their clan.
Zhang Rang saw that Liu Bei had not spoken, so he kowtowed again and again, crying: "General, this is the place where the first emperor and I buried the money, and I entrusted it to the general today." I just ask the general to stretch out his hand, leave the old slave and wait for a wisp of incense to eat ...... blood."
Liu Bei took the piece of brocade silk, and his face was cloudy. This is a test for me! Everyone in the world knows that the first emperor and the ten permanent servants love money. And the money of the first emperor could not be saved in the palace, so it was saved to the ten permanent servants. Let them keep it for you. Now, all this money is going to fall into his own hands, and this money must be an astronomical amount, at least hundreds of millions. How is it good?
After a long time, Liu Bei said to Zhang: "You don't take my things and don't do anything?" ”
Zhang Rang said: "The old slave believes in the general's moral character. If the general can't be trusted, who should the old slave trust? ”
Liu Bei said: "You can ask the Son of Heaven." ”
Zhang Rang sighed: "The Son of Heaven is young, and everything can't be autonomous, so what's wrong!" ”
Liu Bei said: "Okay, I won't hide it from you, I'm worried about money...... And I will answer thee. However, I can only do my best, and I can't guarantee whether I can save it. ”
Zhang Rang was overjoyed and said, "It's good if the general is willing to do his best, and it's good to be willing to do his best." ”
The two reached an agreement, and Zhang Rangfu went to the Son of Heaven again, bowed his head again with his crossed hands, and said to the Son of Heaven: "The minister is dead, Your Majesty loves himself." "After that, he threw himself into the river with all the eunuchs and died.
Leaving them all corpses was also begged by Zhang Rang for Liu Bei.
Zhang Rang and the others died, and Liu Bei bowed to the Son of Heaven and said: "The Marquis of Guangyang and the general of Dongzhong Lang, Liu Bei, have seen Your Majesty and the prince." ”
Nuonuo, the son of heaven, doesn't know what to say. It was still Liu Xie, the king of Chen Liu, who asked Liu Bei to get up, and said good words to soothe.
Liu Bei sighed, looked at the Son of Heaven and Chen Liuwang, both of them have very good genes, they are handsome and abnormal, but the Son of Heaven lived in Shi Dao's family since he was a child, and he developed a temperament that is not on the table. Although he is now the Son of Heaven, he is still the same. Look at Liu Xie again, he was raised by the Empress Dowager Dong since he was a child, grew up in the deep palace, every move, gesture, and full of style. No wonder Dong Zhuo fell in love with Liu Xie as soon as he saw him, and immediately decided to abolish the establishment.
Liu Bei suppressed his thoughts and said to the Son of Heaven: "Your Majesty, the ministers are too late to save the driver, so Your Majesty is tired." There are also Yuan Shao, the captain of Sili, Lu Zigan, etc., and it is advisable to ask His Majesty to summon Mian Zhi together. ”
After the Son of Heaven agreed, Liu Bei returned to the army and invited Yuan Shao's brothers, father-in-law Lu Zhi and others to meet the Son of Heaven. After the ceremony, everyone found an ox cart and let the Son of Heaven and King Chen Liuwang live on it, and then the legions protected it and went all the way to Luoyang.
Yuan Shao saw Zhang Rang and Liu Bei talking from afar. Knowing that the two of them must have a secret discussion, he couldn't help but say: "Xuande, what is that eunuch Zhang Rang talking to you about." ”
Everyone listened with their ears pricked up, wondering what was going on between the two. Liu Bei knew that he didn't say it, but he was afraid that it would cause a lot of discussions, so he smiled and said: "Zhang Rang and others knew that he would die, begged me to keep his whole body, and begged me to read that he had served in the palace for decades, so that I could intercede with the Queen Mother and the Son of Heaven, and leave him and other clans with a wisp of incense." I agreed. ”
Yuan Shao's eyes rolled and said, "Oh, since that's the case, what is the reward for Zhang Rang?" ”
Liu Bei snorted coldly, said unashamedly, and said, "What is the reward?" Didn't you think that I, Liu Bei, was a person who could be bought? Zhang Rang and other people who are going to die, what can they give me? Official position, money, beauty? Hmph, am I Liu one of these mundane things that can be bought? I saw that I was actually pitiful, so I answered. There is nothing to be done. ”
Yuan Shao was speechless. Think about it, Liu Bei, this guy, has always been in love. High character. It's really not something that money and beauty can lead to. Seductive. It seems that he has thought of something wrong. Zhang Rang and the others were bent on death, and when they were dying, it should be credible to ask Liu Bei, a self-proclaimed and high-ranking guy, to take care of the family members of the clan.
As soon as he thought of this, Yuan Shao no longer doubted, diverted the topic, and talked about the affairs in Beijing.
Liu Bei smiled in his heart, I really can't move it with money, but, at the beginning, I can't help it this time. That's a lot of money. If I don't take it, it will inevitably be buried in the ground and rust. It's better to take it out and let me use it on the right path. Besides, saving a few people is just a matter of raising your hands.
While everyone was gossiping, the smoke and dust billowed ahead, the sound of hooves was heard, and a dark cloud was speeding here. In the dark clouds, faintly, a big banner of Dong characters is waving in the wind.
