Chapter 28 The Great Wave of History (3)
The fire of the bronze lamp post burned quietly in the bedroom. Occasionally, the sound of the door leaf pushing open, the candlelight swaying, and footsteps gently walked in. It was a graceful figure. Some palace servants wanted to report, but she waved her hand and pressed it down. They just looked at the ten figures led by Zhang Rang on the ground. In the curtain of the dragon couch, their thin arms were lifted up and lowered weakly, and their thin body was lying there, and the sound was faint.
"...I actually don't want to be this emperor...I am just a playful person...I can't take on the big responsibilities, but the Dou family...forced me to sit...I can't do it if I don't sit...I'm going to die...I was only twelve years old that year, and I didn't know anything, so I sat on it..."
In the curtain, the emperor, who was in his prime, had deep eyes and no longer had much spirit. His blue and gray lips were shaking slightly, and he spoke intermittently, recalling some memories, and a hint of rosy surfaced on his thin and pale face.
"…When I was fifteen years old, I made a queen, she was really beautiful... but unfortunately, her temperament was a little bad... Gradually, I got annoyed her... Five years later, I finally died... I think the most sorry for me in the past twenty years..."
The emperor was originally just the heir to the throne chosen by Dou Wu, the general of the foreign relative, and his son Dou Miao. That year, a child who was only twelve years old, had the first coup in August after he ascended the throne. The foreign relative, Dou's clan was exterminated by eunuchs. Three years later, the Song clan was made the queen, and he was finally abolished and died in the violent chamber.
In his 20 years of reign, he had done many wrong things, including rebellions everywhere and severe taxes. The facts proved that he was indeed not a good emperor and could not be considered a good father.
The quiet bedroom sobbed quietly. The quiet figure on the dragon couch was frozen for a long time. Finally, he moved again, raised his face slightly, opened his eyes weakly, and a low and simple voice.
"Father...I'm going to die..."
Below, the eunuch with gray hair was wiping his tears and crawling on the ground to the couch, holding the dead hand that was stretched out, and his voice was choked: "Your Majesty... I am here."
Liu Hong grabbed his hand with all his body, his lips stammered, and tried his best to make the last voice: "I...left...left...prince...prince..."
"Your Majesty--" Suddenly, a female voice shouted out sadly, and the graceful and graceful figure that rushed over was the queen He who had come in before.
When she came to the couch and snatched the emperor's hand, Liu Hong was suddenly interrupted. He was shocked and stared at the crying woman with pear blossoms in the rain. The moment the blue veins bulged around her neck, her mouth widened. With a sound of "Ah!", the traces of life were pulled away from him.
The raised hands drooped down weakly.
"Your Majesty--"
The crying sounded in the hall. Zhang Rang, Zhao Zhong and others burst into tears and beat the ground. Jian Shuo, the captain of the Eighth School of Xiyuan, looked at the woman lying on the dragon's body with tears in his face. He gritted his teeth and clenched his fists.
In mid-April of the sixth year of Zhongping, Liu Hong died in the Nangong Jiade Hall. Until his death, he did not say who would be the heir to the throne. He had to follow the tradition of establishing the eldest son and establishing the eldest son Liu Bian as the emperor. There was also a time during which eunuchs plotted to remove the general He Jin and establish the prince to fulfill the last wish of the late emperor Liu Hong. However, this time he was reported to He Jin to escape, which made him more and more want to get rid of the eunuch.
The wind blows through the tail of spring, and the tender green branches grow deeper. In May, the cicadas break through the ground and climb up the green trees and cry.
A figure has been seen since the General's mansion, with a strong figure and awesomeness. This person walked out of He's mansion, and the sun shone down on his face, with a dark jade color. As soon as he stepped onto a horse, a voice sounded behind him: "What kind of plan did Yuan Benchu have come up with? I'm in a hurry to leave."
The man named Yuan Shao turned around, not far away, a figure was carrying his hands on his back, and the corner of his mouth was coming with a joke. He slapped the horse's butt, "All the way?"
Yuan Shao bowed his hand and held the reins in his hand and walked with the horse: "What's the matter with Meng De?"
"Ask a question knowingly." Cao Cao raised his hand and pointed at the other party, looked at the bustling crowds of people in the street market in the distance, was silent for a moment, and said, "What plan does the general make?"
Over there, the figure who led the horse turned his head, smiled, looked back at the front, and became sharp: "The general was suspicious and had no results in his work with everyone for many days, but he had some determination recently."
"Oh?" Cao Cao made a gesture of invitation, "Continue, Cao also wants to hear it."
Yuan Shao paused slightly, continued to walk, his voice low: "Summoning the former general Dong Zhuo to settle in Shanglinyuan, Taishan Wang Kuang, Dongjun Prefect Qiao Mao, and Bingzhou Governor Ding Yuan entered the capital."
On this side, Cao Cao's hands were crossed, his expression became serious, his thin eyes suddenly closed, and the figure leading the horse stopped in surprise. After someone else passed by, he opened his eyes and looked at Yuan Shao, and his voice sounded softly.
"I was not confused at first. Wang Kuang and Qiao Mao were mediocre. Ding Yuan was a rough and a little brave, but not yet rude. However, Dong Zhuo, who heard that his temperament was cruel and cruel, was all brave and good at fighting. Now that Di You are young, there are hidden dangers in the palace. It is inappropriate to attract evil wolves at this time."
Yuan Shao was silent for a moment: "Meng De didn't know that the eunuchs guarded the five camps of the imperial guards and wanted to do the decree and establish the people, how could he not be in a hurry?"
"Then you can also slowly draw it, how can you add fuel to the fire?" Here, the voice of dispute became louder.
"I won't argue with you, let's see what I'll do in the future." Yuan Shao said goodbye, then he pulled the reins and turned around and left.
People came and went on the street, and the sun spread out above my head. Cao Cao sighed, looked at the backs of the crowd passing by, and stomped his feet in anger: "The name of Han is gone, you will die in your hands!"
...
The long wind blows thousands of miles.
In Youbeiping, the news of Emperor Liu Hong's death is still on the way, and the first summer rain has come here.
In the lead-colored rain, heavy rain fell on the tent with lights. The general with a armored white-haired collared collared behind the table in the middle was looking through the handwriting on the cloth under the oil lamp, his eyes full of praise and nodded slightly.
Outside the tent, the sound of water was rushing to the tent. Then, the curtain was opened, and a man with a trowel of beard came in with rain and bowed: "Brother, are you looking for a son?"
Gongsun Zan waved his hand to sit down, then got up and handed over the cloth.
The man was Gongsun Zan's cousin, Gongsun Yue. He looked through it several times and looked up in shock: "But he was sold by... sister-in-law...she..."
In the big tent, the figure walking around interrupted him: "Yes, when Xu'er came back that day and talked about this with me, he had suspicion in his heart, so he asked someone to find out... My son is so promising... he looks so much like me."
"Brother means..."
Above, Gongsun Zan sneered and grinned, punched the table with a fierce look: "What is Lu Bu? How can I bully my Gongsun family? I will provoke a thousand cavalry from my private soldiers and hand it over to my son."
"yes--"
Gongsun Yue stood up with his fists.
*********************************************
Heavy rain fell across the eaves, forming a bead curtain, and it was rustling.
On Gongsun’s mansion, the woman’s laziness sounded behind the screen: “Shi Guan, let’s get things done.”
"Some people have been bribed, and they will find an opportunity to do it at that time." The figure who bowed to the other side was about fifty, with white face and short beards, and flattering compliments: "It's still the wife's eyes are like a torch, and this matter will definitely be foolproof."
Behind the screen, the woman chuckled, turned around and walked out, Guan Jing quickly bowed down to look. Liu looked at the rain curtain hanging on the eaves of the door, and there was no such kindness as before. "Even the Huns can't kill him. This time I will do it myself, let this bastard go with his mother to be a companion."
Guan Jing sighed secretly, his head burying even lower.
