Chapter 169 Lingdi Dies
Liu Yu returned to Taiyuan, Bingzhou.
Chen Gong, Tian Feng, and Ju Shou had already ordered them to report any news about Liu Yu immediately. Now that they knew that Liu Yu had returned to Bingzhou safely, the three of them were relieved a lot.
They are all waiting for Liu Yu's return at the Governor's Mansion, and they are all preparing to ask Liu Yu to give them an explanation, but they secretly go to Luoyang without telling them.
Tian Feng was already ready to spit on Liu Yu in a long speech.
Jushou wanted to know what Liu Yu did when he went to Luoyang.
While the three of them were waiting, Liu Yu finally appeared in front of them.
I saw Liu Yu sitting on the main seat and said: "From today on, all of Bingzhou is on alert. Heavy troops are deployed at every pass, loose on the outside and tight on the inside. Without my order, no one is allowed to mobilize a single soldier. At the same time,
Strengthen the internal monitoring of Bingzhou, and all spies from other forces must be eliminated within three days. Anyone who resists will be killed without mercy."
After Liu Yu came back, he directly issued an order to prevent the three people from having a seizure. When Tian Feng was about to speak, Liu Yu continued: "Gongtai, you are responsible for rectifying the armaments, recruiting soldiers with Huang Zhong and Lu Bu, and ordering the Ordnance Department to expand production scale.
Yuan Hao, is responsible for supervising the civil and military affairs of the entire Bingzhou. If there are corpses or those who leave their posts without permission, you can take it yourself. Publicly speaking, I still have too few talents in Bingzhou, so you should work harder in this regard. At the same time, Huang Chong is ordered to do his best to report to Bingzhou in the future.
Other states and counties purchase grain and grass, and at the same time organize people to reclaim wasteland and increase grain production. War horses and other resources are strictly prohibited from being sold to states."
Chen Gong, Tian Feng, and Jushou all accepted the order. They originally wanted to vent their dissatisfaction to Liu Yu, but Liu Yu didn't give them a chance at all.
"Okay, let's all get out." Liu Yu began to drive people away.
Tian Feng would not let Liu Yu fool him like this. He stepped forward and said, "My lord, you left Bingzhou alone and went to Luoyang privately. Don't you have anything to say?"
Liu Yu looked deeply at Tian Feng and said, "It makes sense for me to go to Luoyang. I only want to say one thing: the world is changing, and time waits for no one."
The three people's hearts trembled. Did Liu Yu do something in Luoyang? It couldn't be that disrespectful thing, right?
Tian Feng and Jushu glanced at Chen Gong, hoping that he could ask Liu Yu. Chen Gong understood what they meant.
Tian Feng and Jushou said goodbye and left.
"My Lord, is there something going on with Your Majesty?" Chen Gong had followed Liu Yu for the longest time, so he naturally dared to ask.
"There will be great changes within seven days! Don't worry, only Li Fu and I know." Liu Yu said expressionlessly.
Chen Gong got what he wanted to know. Liu Yu had already assassinated Emperor Ling when he went to Luoyang this time.
Chen Gong respectfully left the Governor's Mansion.
"How about Gongtai?" Tian Feng and Jushu were waiting outside the governor's mansion. When they saw Chen Gong coming out, they all stepped forward to greet him.
Chen Gong just nodded to the two of them and expressed his affirmation.
Tian Feng was shocked and couldn't believe it. Ju Shou smiled slightly, this was the wise master in his heart, he was cruel and poisonous enough.
The three of them made a tacit understanding and returned to their homes.
This side of the palace.
Zhang Rang thought that Emperor Ling was just weak and could rest for a day. However, after a whole day, although Emperor Ling woke up, he was unconscious and unable to speak.
After the imperial doctor made another diagnosis, he discovered that Emperor Ling was poisoned and that there was no cure.
Shi Changshi immediately panicked.
Zhang Rang and Zhao Zhong were the first to calm down and immediately sealed the palace gates, preventing anyone from entering or exiting. Others could hide it, but the Queen Mother could not. Although Zhang Rang and Zhao Zhong went too far, they were very loyal to the royal family.
Empress Dowager Dong was playing with Liu Xie in the harem and enjoying family happiness. Unexpectedly, they received news from Zhang Jing that Emperor Ling was poisoned and there was no cure. Fortunately, Empress Dowager Dong was also a person who had experienced great storms and was not frightened.
.
Empress Dowager Dong took Liu Xie to the palace of Emperor Ling. The imperial doctor was leading all the imperial doctors who were busy. Empress Dowager Dong asked the imperial doctor about Emperor Ling's condition and whether he could cure it. The imperial doctor was silent, and Emperor Ling was in the middle of the night.
He had never seen the poison of Ling Emperor before. He had tried every method but could not remove the poison from Emperor Ling. Now only the poisoner could use the poison. When the imperial doctor confessed that he could not cure him, Empress Dowager Dong was furious and beheaded him.
.Poor doctor Zheng struggled for many years to reach where he is today, but unexpectedly he lost his life with just one word. Doctor Zheng was dragged out just like that, and Zhang Rang and the others suddenly felt a bit sad.
Empress Dowager Dong and Liu Xie stayed in Emperor Ling's palace, and ordered Zhang Rang and others not to let Empress He and Liu Bian in.
Of course Zhang Rang and the others knew what Empress Dowager Dong was thinking. Since Emperor Ling was bound to die, there must be someone who would take the position of emperor. However, Emperor Ling did not appoint a crown prince or heir. Logically speaking, the eldest son or legitimate son should be the one to take over.
The one who succeeds to the throne is determined by human factors. Empress Dowager Dong raised Liu Xie and naturally wanted to pass on the position of being the most respected person to Liu Xie. As for Liu Yu, Empress Dowager Dong did not take him seriously.
The palace is a place with no secrets. No matter how strict the ten permanent servants were to block it, the news that Emperor Ling was seriously ill was still known to General He Jin and others.
General He Jin was in the party, but he was thinking day and night about killing the ten regular servants. Now that Emperor Ling is seriously ill, he is very likely to die. This is the best opportunity to kill the ten regular servants.
But He Jin was very worried because his military power had been divided up by the Eight Lieutenants of Xiyuan designed by Emperor Ling. Although He Jin won over Cao Cao at the critical moment, Luoyang's military power was still firmly in the hands of the Shi Changshi
.
Yuan Shao brought up the matter of recruiting foreign vassals, which made He Jin very interested. Of course, Cao Cao cursed Yuan Shao for causing harm to the country and the people, and walked away. The relationship between Yuan Shao and Cao Cao began to crack, and it developed into a final life-or-death showdown. It was really a twist of fate.
The ten permanent servants are also worried. Although they hold military power, they are all based on the premise that the Ling Emperor is their backer. If the Ling Emperor does something bad, who knows if the troops under their command will do something extraordinary?
.
The ten permanent attendants also thought that they were weak and looked for other forces to protect themselves.
Although they wanted to take action, Emperor Ling was not dead yet, so both sides did not dare to move, and each made preparations.
After holding on for several days, the Ling Emperor finally reached the end of the stream. When the Ling Emperor was about to die, he regained consciousness and sat up as if he had woken up.
Empress Dowager Dong, Liu Xie and Shi Changshi, who had been standing by, all came over. Emperor Ling's body was rotten in many places and exuded a foul smell. He knew that he was not going to die soon, and he wanted to say that Liu Yu had harmed him, but
I couldn't speak, my mouth was wide open, and it was very painful.
"Your Majesty, you are about to leave. Should Xie'er take over the throne?" Empress Dowager Dong did not hesitate and settled the matter first while Emperor Ling was still alive.
Emperor Ling felt very sad that his biological mother did not care about his life or death.
Finding that Emperor Ling did not respond, Empress Dowager Dong said directly: "It seems that Your Majesty agrees."
Emperor Ling felt that his vitality was not much left, so he struggled hard and nodded.
After doing all this, Emperor Ling felt that he had no pain for a while, his vision went dark, and his body became lighter and lighter.
