Imperial Historian Yang Qin walked into the imperial study in a panic with a book in his arms.

"Aiqing, what's wrong?" The Son of Heaven saw Yang Qin's head sweating, and couldn't help laughing, "Is your Yushitai on fire?" ”

"Your Majesty is telling you a joke." Yang Qin bowed down and said, "Something big happened in Jizhou. ”

The Son of Heaven was shocked. Xu Shao said in the afternoon that there was a conspiracy in the north, and there was news of Jizhou in the evening, which was really a fairy.

"Your Majesty, Yan Liang colluded with the Yellow Turban Ant Thieves and led the army into Yecheng. Bi Lan, the governor of Jizhou, and the bureaucrats of the state capital were all killed. Yang Qin said loudly.

"Accurate message?" The Son of Heaven asked angrily, "When did it happen?" ”

"The day before yesterday." Yang Qin said, "Jizhou Mansion Don't drive Xu You escaped by luck. He wrote to impeach Li Hong and Yan Liang, saying that they had united with the Yellow Turban Ant Thieves and Fang Shi Xiangkai of Taiping County to conspire to kidnap His Majesty and make the King of Hefei the Son of Heaven. Wang Fen, the assassin of Jizhou, discovered their conspiracy, so he told the Zhongchang servant Bi Lan Bi Hou Ye, who had arrived in Yecheng in advance. Bi Hou Ye immediately ordered Yan Liang to be hunted and killed. Unexpectedly, the news leaked, and Yan Liang immediately led people into Yecheng. ”

"Li Hong? Hijack? The Son of Heaven pointed to his nose and asked angrily, "Li Hong wants to kidnap me in Jizhou?" Want to make the king of Hefei the son of heaven? ”

"Yes." Yang Qin handed over the book slip and said excitedly, "Your Majesty, this is Xu Yu's recital. Li Hong's crime was extremely heinous, and he should be immediately killed. ”

The Son of Heaven was furious, waved his hand and shouted, "Immediately ask Yuan Shu to arrest him!" ”

"Yuan Shu has been captured by Li Hong." Yang Qin put the bamboo slip in his hand on the desk, took out a piece of silk cloth from his arms, respectfully handed it over, and said with a wry smile, "Your Majesty, this secret letter belongs to Yuan Shu, the captain of the Changshui Battalion, who has been imprisoned by Li Hong. His subordinates deceived Li Hong and secretly sent someone to send this secret letter. ”

The Son of Heaven grabbed the silk cloth in Yang Qin's hand and looked at it hurriedly, becoming more and more angry.

"Immediately send someone to Jizhou to arrest Li Hong back."

Yang Qin asked in surprise: "Your Majesty, now that the Changshui Camp is in his hands, and the Yellow Turban Ant Thief is colluding with him again, how can you arrest him?" Who to send to arrest him? ”

The Son of Heaven stared at a pair of small eyes, and shouted angrily: "Go and call Zhang Wen, call Liu Yu, and call Lu Zhi too." How dare this bastard betray me? ”

"Your Majesty, ...... tomorrow"

"Not leaving tomorrow."

＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝

Li Hong exchanged the lives of all the officers of the Yellow Turban Army for the confession of the bitter chieftain.

"How do you guarantee their lives?" The bitter chief asked, "Do you want to bring them all to Xiliang?" ”

"Yes, that's all I can do to save their lives." Li Hong said with a smile, "As long as there is an amnesty, it is up to them to decide whether these people will go or stay." ”

The bitter chief was also very happy, and immediately told the story of the matter. Now, Wang Fen has committed suicide, Xiangkai has no shadow, he was arrested, this matter has completely failed, it is actually the same whether he confesses or not, but if he can save the lives of dozens of subordinates, of course he will make a lot of money.

"What did you just say? Who is Anding Shuai? Li Hong suddenly asked, "What does An Dingshuai want to do?" ”

The bitter chieftain's face changed, and he asked strangely, "An Dingshuai?" I didn't say Anding handsome? Who is Anding Shuai? ”

Li Hong smiled and said: "Zhang Yan attacked Taiyuan, Yang Feng occupied Jizhou, and Bai Huan attacked Hanoi and threatened Luoyang, so, who is Youzhou?" Is Youzhou An Dingshuai directing the rebellion? Is this a good idea? ”

The bitter chief said hatefully: "If you are calculated, you have been missed." You are obviously in Xiliang, how did you come to Jizhou? If it weren't for you going to Jizhou, how could we have failed? ”

"If this matter is successful, the scale will be even bigger than Zhang Jiao's time." Yan Liang sneered, "You guys have too many thoughts. ”

"Xiang Kai's shot is like opening a horn, and the momentum is amazing." Wen Chou exclaimed, "This time, he even has the emperor ready. ”

"Who is Anding Shuai?" Li Hong pointed at the bitter chief and asked, "You'd better make it clear." ”

The bitter chief flatly denied: "How do I know who An Dingshuai is? I have already made it clear about the matter in Jizhou, and the rest is your leopard's business, you have to talk and talk. ”

Li Hong stared at him for a long time, then shook his head and said: "I really don't understand what you think, you keep saying that you are doing this for the people of the world and for the people of the Han Dynasty, but you look at Zhang Jiao, look at Zhang Niujiao, look at yourself, you led the Yellow Turban Army to fight around, who died the most?" It's just the people in your mouth, is this the result you want? Do you want to let the people of the Great Han die? ”

"This sky is unfair, but what does the yellow sky you said bring to the people of the Han Dynasty?"

The bitter chief stood up abruptly and said loudly, "What do you know? Do you know how the people who died died? You only see us ruining our lives, but how can you not see who is causing trouble to the world? Who is forcing us to rise up? ”

Li Hong was furious, and was about to say sarcastic, but suddenly remembered what Zhang Chun said to him by the Shengshui River in his mind.

Li Hong sighed secretly and was speechless.

＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝

The Son of Heaven will drive to Jizhou with the Queen Mother tomorrow, and Zongzheng Liu Yu, who is in charge of this matter, is still busy inside and outside the North Palace. Hearing that His Majesty was going to summon him, Liu Yu thought it was about returning to his hometown to worship his ancestors, and hurriedly trotted all the way to the imperial study.

The Son of Heaven Long Yan was furious, and when he saw Liu Yu walking into the imperial study, he was scolded for splitting his head and covering his face. Liu Yu knelt on the ground and listened for a long time before he heard the reason.

"Your Majesty Difference." Liu Yu saw that the Son of Heaven stopped and did not speak, and hurriedly played, "Your Majesty, have you ever seen Li Zhonglang's recital?" ”

"He's going to set up another son of heaven, what else is there to play?" The Son of Heaven scolded, "You immediately go to Jizhou and arrest him." ”

"Your Majesty, is there any definite evidence for the impeachment of Wang Fen, Yuan Shu, and Xu You?" Liu Yu said, "Your Majesty, don't listen to one-sided words and make judgments. Think about it, there are so many people who want to kill Li Zhonglang, why is it not framed? ”

"Framed? Can the King of Hefei be framed casually? Can Bi Lan also be killed casually? The Son of Heaven cried out, "Are you old and confused?" ”

"At the beginning, for what did Your Majesty transfer Li Zhonglang back from the Xiliang battlefield? Has Your Majesty forgotten? Liu Yu arched his hand and said, "Your Majesty was worried about the danger of the trip to Jizhou so that he was transferred back to Beijing, and Your Majesty entrusted him with a heavy responsibility because he trusted his loyalty." Now that there is really a mess in Jizhou, Your Majesty's worries have become a reality, isn't Your Majesty alert at all? ”

The Son of Heaven sneered and said nothing, but his eyes had become calm. Hearing that the minister he trusted was going to rebel and set up another king of Hefei as the king, the Son of Heaven's mind lost his mind in an instant. What king wants to lose his country? Today's son is no exception, especially when he heard that he was going to set up another king of Hefei as the king, it was even more unbearable than killing him. But Liu Yu's words suddenly woke him up. Why did you recruit Li Hong back to Beijing in the first place? Isn't it just that you should be careful that this will happen? Now that this kind of thing has been leaked out, that is, the conspiracy in the north that Xu Shao said has failed, so who is behind this matter?

"Your Majesty, Li Zhonglang is an idiot, a barbarian, what else will he do except fight? His Majesty asked him to go to Jizhou to find out the distance, he didn't know what he should do, so he went to Taixue to ask several beings for help, just this kind of person, would he come up with such a complicated conspiracy? Who is Xiangkai, Your Majesty should know, can he trust Li Zhonglang? Li Zhonglang killed hundreds of thousands of people in Zhang Niujiao, Yan Liang was his subordinate at that time, just these two people, the ant thieves would give up their hatred and collude with each other to rebel? Do you believe such a stupid lie, Your Majesty? ”

The Son of Heaven was suddenly frightened, his vest was cold, and he suddenly broke out in a cold sweat.

"Yan Liang's wife is Yang Feng's sister? It's even funnier. The ant thieves were defeated by Li Hong and fled, most of the family members of the leaders of the ant thieves were captured, and Yan Liang found two beautiful women to be maids among them, what is so strange about this? I think Your Majesty should think about it, what is the purpose of Wang Fen deliberately digging up this kind of thing? Xu You, what is Xu You, just a person in Jizhou Mansion, what is the credibility of his words? He said that Yan Liang killed Wang Fen and killed Bi Lan, does Your Majesty believe it? Then why did the bureaucrats in Jizhou Prefecture, from Wang Fen to the guards and nurses, all die, and why didn't he die? What happened the day before yesterday, Xu Yu's recital arrived in Shangshutai today, how did he send it? Does this music grow wings and fly on its own? ”

The Son of Heaven slowly walked to Li Hong's portrait with his hands behind his back, and looked at the tears in Li Hong's eyes with a distracted look. He suddenly thought of what was behind that tear, and his thoughts suddenly extended to Jizhou, and he suddenly understood what the conspiracy in Xu Shao's mouth was. The corners of the Son of Heaven's mouth slowly showed a hint of a smile.

"Yuan Shu's secret performance is even more flawed." Liu Yu spread out the silk cloth and said loudly, "He said that Wang Fen discovered the conspiracy of Li Hong and Yan Liang and asked him to lead troops to capture Li Hong." Yuan Shu, as Li Hong's subordinate, didn't listen to Li Hong, but listened to the orders of a state and county assassin, he was an idiot? He dared to arrest Li Hong, of course Li Hong wanted to arrest him, what is there to impeach? Also, if Li Hong wants to rebel, he catches Yuan Shu and doesn't kill him, what is he doing with it? Could it be that Yuan Shu wrote this secret letter to tell His Majesty that he had rebelled? ”

"Why hasn't Li Zhonglang sent a piece of music until now?" The Son of Heaven interrupted Liu Yu's words and asked, "Did he encounter something tricky?" ”

"Your Majesty......" Liu Yu saw that the Son of Heaven had calmed down and the tone of his address to Li Hong had changed, and his heart was suddenly relieved, and he couldn't help but shout excitedly.

"Thank you, Aiqing." The Son of Heaven walked up to Liu Yu, patted him gratefully on the shoulder and said, "You get up." As he spoke, he reached out and grabbed Liu Yu's arm and helped him up.

"Your Majesty, according to the minister, this may have happened yesterday, not the day before yesterday." Liu Yu said, "There are people in Luoyang who want to cover up. ”

The Son of Heaven nodded thoughtfully.

"We also received a document from Li Hong from Xindu yesterday, although Li Hong did not mention Yuan Shu and Yecheng in the book, but at least it can be explained that Li Hong was in Xindu City three days ago. If Li Hong rushes to Yecheng overnight after solving Yuan Shu, then we will be able to receive Li Hong's recital tomorrow. When the time comes, we'll know what happened. ”

At this time, Taiwei Zhang Wen and Shangshu Lu Zhi rushed to the North Palace at the same time.

After carefully watching Yuan Shu's secret music and Xu You's recital, the two of them were very shocked.

"What do the two Aiqing think, just say. If you feel that Liu Aiqing is in front of you and it is inconvenient to speak, I can let him leave. The Son of Heaven said with a cold little face, and said with a smile.

"No need, Your Majesty." Zhang Wen arched his hand and said, "Li Zhonglang and Yan Duwei used to be my subordinates, although they didn't have much contact, but both of them were loyal martyrs, and they would never do such a rebellious thing." In addition, we have not yet received a message from Li Zhonglang, so it is too early to say that he is plotting rebellion. ”

"Your Majesty, I think there are too many doubts in this." Lu Zhi then pointed out the flaws in the two passages one by one, and his analysis was more thorough than Liu Yu's, and the Son of Heaven nodded again and again when he heard it.

"Your Majesty, according to the minister, this trip to Jizhou has to be canceled." Lu Zhi finally said, "Now the situation in Jizhou is unstable, the remnants of the Yellow Turban are ready to move, and the Hu people on the northern border have begun to invade, and the timing is very bad, especially the situation in Luoyang......"

Lu Zhi stopped abruptly and did not continue.

"Aiqing, why didn't you say it?" The Son of Heaven asked strangely, "What's wrong with the situation in Luoyang?" ”

"Your Majesty, it's better not to make a noise about this matter for the time being." Zhang Wen said, "We don't have a specific report on the matter in Jizhou, once it spreads in Luoyang, rumors are flying all over the sky, which is very unfavorable to Li Zhonglang." Li Zhonglang has offended all the powers in the DPRK and China because of the anti-corruption matter, and there are too many people who want to kill him, and if everyone falls into the ground, the situation will be difficult to control. ”

"Now that Murong Feng, a Xianbei person, has invaded Youzhou, Tuoba Feng has also entered Bingzhou, the border situation is very critical, at this time, what Luoyang needs is stability, Your Majesty, it needs stability." Zhang Wen said eagerly, "I have discussed with the general many times, and I think it is better to divide Li Hong's army into two. Part of it was led by Captain Xian Yufu to immediately return to Youzhou to resist the enemy, and part of it was led by Li Hongtong to enter Liangzhou to suppress the rebels. ”

"Let me think about it." The Son of Heaven said, "My biggest headache now is not the invasion of the Hu people on the border, but how to explain it to the Queen Mother." ”

＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝

The Son of Heaven suddenly ordered the cancellation of the trip to Jizhou, which immediately caused a sensation in Luoyang. This joke of the Son of Heaven is too big.

In the afternoon of that day, the Son of Heaven received Li Hong's recital, along with the confessions of some bureaucrats in Jizhou Prefecture and the leader of the Yellow Turban Army, Ku Chief.

"The matter in Jizhou is basically clear." Jian Shuo put down the chapter, frowned and said, "But why didn't he mention Xiangkai, nor did he mention the King of Hefei?" Tomorrow's court meeting, he will definitely be impeached by the ministers. ”

"Either someone else deliberately framed him, or Li Zhonglang had other intentions." The Son of Heaven said, "You see, he also tried his best to defend Yuan Shu and He Feng in the recital, saying that they were deceived by Wang Fen. What a joke, is Yuan Shu a three-year-old child? Li Zhonglang said that after careful verification, it was proved that Yuan Shu and He Feng did not participate in Wang Fen's rebellion, and Yuan Shu and He Feng immediately woke up, and they took the lead in taking the Changshui camp into Yecheng and made great contributions. ”

The Son of Heaven scolded angrily: "This leopard, what does he want to do? Want to curry favor with the General? ”

"Your Majesty, Li Zhonglang wrote like this, I'm afraid it's also a helpless move." Liu Yu said, "He is probably afraid that if the investigation continues, the involvement will be too great, so that the government and the opposition will be shaken, and Luoyang will be in chaos." ”

The Son of Heaven snorted angrily and did not speak.

"Then Xiangkai and the King of Hefei should continue to investigate?" Jian Shuo looked at the Son of Heaven, hesitated for a moment, and said, "From the minister's point of view, Xiangkai must have a part to participate, otherwise Wang Fen would not be able to collude with the ant thieves." As for the king of Hefei? ”

"Of course I have to check." The Son of Heaven sneered, "The King of Hefei wants to investigate." The Son of Heaven picked up the piece on the desk, pointed to the text on it and said: "This leopard is probably also afraid of death, so he writes a piece of music and hides his head and tail, for fear of being caught." He left a sentence in the end, there are still doubts, and he is still investigating. What does that mean? I just don't want to check it. ”

"Check? It's easier said than done. Now the key is to catch Xiangkai and Xu You. Just grab one of them and things will break through. Liu Yu said, "But do we really need to check like this?" Lord Taiwei has already said that what Luoyang needs most now is stability. ”

The Son of Heaven stood up, took a few steps back and forth impatiently, and said loudly, "If only I had tens of thousands of troops in my hands now. ”

"Why don't Your Majesty consider taking advantage of this matter and taking the opportunity to take back the general's military power." Liu Yu said, "At this time, did the general go to Hefei in person?" ”

The Son of Heaven was stunned for a moment, and then he suddenly opened his mouth, smiled, clapped his hands and shouted: "It's still Aiqing who is deeply hidden." ”

＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝

In the court, the voice of impeachment of Li Hong filled the ears of the Son of Heaven.

The Son of Heaven was also furious, and even said that he would send someone to investigate.

"Ladies and gentlemen, who wants to go to Jizhou to arrest him back?" The Son of Heaven asked.

The court fell silent for a moment.

The Son of Heaven looked around and teased: "You Aiqing are not going? Haha, I thought you were all going to rush there? ”

"Since everyone is not going, then order Li Hong to ask for the guilty table first." The Son of Heaven said mockingly, "General, you don't want to go to Jizhou, what about Hefei?" ”

He Jin hurriedly stepped out of the queue and said loudly: "The minister is willing to go to Hefei, and the minister will receive the order." ”

The Son of Heaven was overjoyed, and a rare smile appeared on his face.

As the court meeting was about to end, there was a shocking news.

Xingyang tycoon Xi Zhi gathered people to rebel, gathered more than 20,000 people to occupy Xingyang City, at the same time, Zhongmu Tan Bo killed Zhongmu Ling, gathered 30,000 displaced people to occupy Zhongmu City, Henan Mansion for a time war raged.

Xingyang and Zhongmu are both important places in Gyeonggi, very close to Luoyang, and it is unbelievable that the traitors rebelled at the feet of the Son of Heaven.

The Son of Heaven issued an order to order the general He Jin to sit in the Tiger Prison Pass and dispatch the Northern Army to guard the pass to protect Luoyang. Yin He Miao of Henan immediately led the army to quell the rebellion.

The Son of Heaven watched the general He Jin swagger out of the court with a pale face, he really didn't understand why God didn't help him.
