Chapter 143: Going on a mission to Qingzhou, this edict is of great importance

In order to prevent Huangfu Song from having too many meritorious deeds and making it difficult to control him, Dong Zhuo sent people to remove Huangfu Song from his military power when he decided to send troops out of Chang'an.

After arriving in Luoyang, Huangfu Song was left to dry for several days, and it was not until today that Huangfu Song was summoned.

Looking at the calm and stern old enemy in front of him, Dong Zhuo wished he could kill him directly with his sword, but he was afraid of killing Huangfu Songzhong without any reason.

After all, Huangfu Song was different from Yuan Wei. Although Yuan Shao and others were named King Qin, they were just rebellious to the Chang'an court, so killing Yuan Wei was justifiable.

But Huangfu Song only obeyed the emperor's order, even if the emperor's order came from Dong Zhuo!

As soon as the emperor's order arrived, Huangfu Song handed over the military power to Dong Zhuo without any delay.

If it is cut down for no reason, it will be equivalent to putting everyone in Chang'an at risk.

Dong Zhuo tried to kill Huangfu Song under the guise of military law, but his plan failed and he also lost a close confidant, Hua Xiong.

"Huangfu Yushi, you have done great service in defeating the rebel Lu Zhi, but I have not yet rewarded you."

"Do you have any requests?"

Dong Zhuo pretended to be kind.

Huangfu Song's expression did not change, and he still had a stern face.

"It is a matter of duty to fight against thieves for the country, and there is no need to ask for rewards." Huangfu Song's answer was simple and straightforward.

Dong Zhuo laughed loudly: "That's not possible! If you don't reward meritorious service, wouldn't it make the generals think that I don't know the rewards and punishments?"

But the next moment, Dong Zhuo's eyes turned sinister: "Then, let me give you a chance to make meritorious deeds!"

"There is a general under Lu Zhi named Guan Yu, who originally served under Liu Bei in Qingzhou."

"I promised Liu Bei the position of Qingzhou Shepherd in order to make Guan Yu withdraw his troops."

"But Guan Yu was punished by Lu Zhi with a hundred military sticks. It is really hateful and a pity."

"However, Wen You said that Lu Zhi might be using a trick to make the Grand Master mistakenly think that Guan Yu could be the internal response."

"It just so happens that you have nothing to do recently. Why don't you go to Lu Zhi's military camp for me? If Guan Yu really hates Lu Zhi, what should he do?"

Huangfu Song decisively refused: "Grand Master, all the generals under Lu Zhi's command and I have grudges. If we go to inquire, it will definitely ruin the Grand Master's affairs. Please appoint another capable person to go there."

Dong Zhuo scolded him sternly: "When the two armies are fighting, don't kill the envoy! How could Lu Zhi not understand the truth? Are you going to disobey me?"

Huangfusong was silent.

Dong Zhuo's plan to kill someone with a borrowed knife is too obvious.

This is to make Huangfu Song die at the hands of Lu Zhi!

"Please also ask the Grand Master to send a close confidant as a deputy envoy." Huangfu Song looked at Li Ru next to Dong Zhuo with a cold gaze.

Li Ru couldn't help being shocked.

This Huangfu Song has such a ruthless mind. Does he want to drag me to my death?

Before Li Ru could speak, Dong Zhuo rejected Huangfu Song's proposal: "What kind of deputy envoy do you want? I will give you a few personal guards at most."

Huangfu Song saw that Dong Zhuo was determined, so he stopped arguing and took the order to retreat.

Looking at Huangfu Song leaving, Dong Zhuo felt indescribably happy: "What a cruel trick. This gives me the opportunity to kill people with a borrowed sword."

"Huangfu Song killed Lu Zhi's soldiers and horses so fiercely. There must be people under Lu Zhi who hate Huangfu Song deeply. If Huangfu Song is allowed to die in Lu Zhi's army, not only will he be in trouble, but the Huangfu family will definitely take his place.

This Grand Master will do my best."

Li Ru secretly breathed a sigh of relief and said flatteringly: "The Grand Master took advantage of his plan and plotted against Lu Zhi and Huangfu Song at the same time. Even Emperor Qin and Han Wuyi could not match the Grand Master's wisdom."

Dong Zhuo was very impressed by what he heard and laughed and said: "It's ridiculous that Lu Zhi is so smart and Huangfu is so ignorant, he dares to show off his scheming in front of my grand master."

Liu Aixing returned to Chang'an at night to meet the emperor Liu Xie.

Dong Huang, who was in charge of the imperial guards in the palace, saw that it was Liu Ai, the chief official, and did not stop him.

Almost all the officials in Chang'an City know that Liu Ai is Dong Zhuo's confidant!

Going straight to the palace, Liu Ai found Liu Xie.

Although Dong Zhuo was domineering, Liu Xie would still be notified of the issuance of imperial edicts.

But it was just a notification, and Liu Xie was not qualified to refute.

The purpose of Dong Zhuo's doing this was just to express his attitude in front of the officials: Look, I am still a Han official!

Although all the ministers knew the meaning of this, no one objected.

As long as Dong Zhuo regards himself as a Han official, there will still be a chance for mediation.

Although Liu Xie is young, he is talented and wise, different from ordinary teenagers.

Facing the authoritarian Dong Zhuo, he was obedient and respectfully addressed him as Shangfu.

"Liu Changshi, why did you come to look for me late at night?" The emperor, who was less than ten years old, also had royal etiquette.

Although he was well-behaved and sensible in front of Dong Zhuo, his royal manners were not bad in front of ministers like Liu Ai.

After all, Liu Xie was a smart young man who behaved calmly and answered questions fluently when he faced Dong Zhuo's army who didn't know his friends or foes during the Shi Chang Shi Rebellion.

At that time, Liu Xie was only eight years old!

Liu Bian, the young emperor who was so frightened that his whole body was shaking, his legs were trembling, and his speech was speechless, was much more calm.

Liu Ai bowed respectfully and said: "By the order of the Grand Master, I will ask for the imperial seal and ribbon from the pastor of Qingzhou, and I will personally go to Qingzhou as an envoy."

Liu Xie frowned: "Why do you need to ask again? Where is the seal and ribbon of the previous imperial edict?"

Liu Ai did not hide anything and gave Liu Xie a concise and concise statement of everything he had to do during his trip to Guan Yu's camp.

"Old man Lu Zhi not only committed rebellion, but also dared to detain my imperial edict, which is unforgivable!" Liu Xie was furious: "When can Father Shang return to Chang'an?"

Liu Aidao: "The war in Luoyang will be difficult to end in a short time."

Liu Xie frowned and shouted: "These rebels are really hateful! Liu Changshi can quickly go to Qingzhou to announce the decree."

After Liu Ai left, Liu Xie was still "angry".

a long time.

Only then did Liu Xie's eyes turn from "angry" to calm.

Everything that just happened was just Liu Xie deliberately pretending to be heard by Dong Huang's cronies who were listening outside.

"It seems that this time, the Kwantung Allied Forces in the crusade against Dong's thieves are more active than last time."

"It's time for Liu He to ask Da Sima to send troops!"

Among the officials in Chang'an, there were many civil and military officials who were loyal to Liu Xie.

It's just that Dong Zhuo was cruel and killed all the civil and military officials who openly opposed it.

The remaining Qingliu ministers headed by Wang Yun superficially catered to Dong Zhuo, but secretly they were looking for opportunities to contact Qin Wang Yishi.

Clan ministers such as Prime Minister Liu Ai, Youzhou Mu Liu Yu's son Shi Zhong Liu He, Zuo Zhong Lang General Liu Fan, Zhi Shu Yu Shi Liu Dan and other clan ministers were also plotting to kill Dong Zhuo in their own ways.

These people are not a whole, but they all want to get rid of Dong Zhuo for Liu Xie in different ways.

Liu Xie was calm and cautious. While he called Dong Zhuo Shangfu, he was proud of Dong Zhuo, and at the same time he quietly conspired with Wang Yun, Liu Ai and others.

Shortly after Liu Ai went to Qingzhou, Liu He also left Chang'an City with the imperial edict without any danger.

Clan ministers like Liu Yu needed Liu Xie's edict to welcome the emperor.

The taboo in this is very deep.

He accidentally became a traitor and a traitor.

After all, Dong Zhuo at this time still represents the emperor!

As for Yuan Shao and other Kwantung Allied forces who met for the first time, they had no intention of recognizing Liu Xie as the emperor, and their slogan against Dong was that Dong Zhuo deposed himself as the emperor.

Even Lu Zhi also used Dong Zhuo's excuse for deposing the emperor.

However, Yuan Shao, Lu Zhi and others were still Han officials. Even if they killed Dong Zhuo, they still had to support Liu Xie.

After all, Liu Bian is dead, who else can he support besides Liu Xie?

But Liu Yu, Liu Biao, and Liu Yan were different. They were all clan ministers. If they succeeded in challenging Dong, they might not necessarily need to support Liu Xie!

What is more likely is that the Dong alliance directly supported one of them to proclaim himself emperor!

As for the civil and military officials who participated in the crusade against Dong, the clan surnamed Liu who supported the crusade against Dong definitely benefited more than those who supported Liu Xie.

This is also an important reason why Liu Yu, Liu Biao, and Liu Yan did not participate in the two discussions with Dong.

Liu Dai, the governor of Yanzhou, was quite helpless. After all, almost all the counties and counties in Yanzhou participated in the fight against Dong. If Liu Dai didn't go to Yanzhou, no one would listen to him.

Huangfu Song came to Lu Zhi's military camp without fear.

In front of Chenggao Pass, Huangfu Song won for a while and blocked Lu Zhi in Chenggao Pass, daring not to leave.
