It has been more than a hundred years since Luoyang City was founded here by Liu Xiu, Emperor Guangwu of the Eastern Han Dynasty. With the major renovations by these eleven successive emperors, it has become far better than Chang'an, Xijing, in the past, with flowers blooming and bustling, but today it was originally
The bustling and bustling Zhongzhongmen Street is extremely quiet. It is not quiet at all. There are several times more people on the street than usual, but no one dares to raise their voice.
A group of soldiers with bright armor were walking on the street. The murderous aura they exuded made the people in the capital dare not make any noise and just watched them quietly. Behind them was a group of people, including men, women, old and young.
Yes, the oldest one is already gray-haired, while the younger one is crying in the woman's arms, waiting for food. The eyes of this group of people are dull, and they all walk down the broad street with their heads lowered.
It was already a hot summer day, and the scorching sun was shining on the earth high in the sky. The white-haired elder looked up at the sky, wiped the sweat on his face with his clothes, and turned around to see the crowd behind him with their heads lowered.
He yelled in a hoarse voice: "You are the descendants of my Liu family and the blood of my great ancestor. Now His Majesty has been deceived by villains. We have been unjustly sent to Lingnan. But how can our Liu family sink like this? You all raise your heads to me."
Come, even if you die, you have to protect the honor of my Liu family! I believe that one day your Majesty will wake up, eliminate the traitors, and give me a peaceful world!"
When the people behind heard the elder's roar, they all raised their heads, looked ahead firmly, and walked towards the east gate. "Who is this man? What a great momentum!" On the East Gate Street,
A young young man asked. The people around him turned around and looked at the young man with contempt. One of them, a scholar about the same age as him, said: "This brother must not be from Luoyang!"
The young man nodded and said, "I am from Liaodong. I just came to Luoyang today to do some small business!" The scholar nodded and said, "I see. No wonder my brother didn't know that this person was Liu Ru, the governor of Zhuo County.
, he was also a clan member of the Han Dynasty, but unfortunately he was very close to Cao Luan, a party member. Cao Luan was beheaded by His Majesty at Caishikou because he petitioned the court to lift the party imprisonment, and ordered all officials related to Cao Luan to be dismissed from office and imprisoned.
, so Mr. Liu was implicated in it!" "Thank you for telling me, brother!" The young junior bowed and saluted the scholar, and the scholar nodded, "No need to be polite!"
At this time, a burly man came over to the scholar. The man was not tall, but there was a hint of majesty between his eyebrows. The man ignored the young man and said directly to the scholar: "Benchu, please let me be good."
Look, what's there to see here? Let's go and have a drink together!" The scholar glanced at the group of prisoners being held, sighed and said, "Oh, this is all the fault of those eunuchs.
One day, I, Yuan Benchu, must eradicate these eunuchs and bring peace to the Han Dynasty!" This scholar is called Yuan Shao, whose courtesy name is Benchu. He is currently studying in Taixue. His family has a prominent family background, and he has four generations and three nobles.
When the man heard what Yuan Shao said, he looked a little displeased, and said: "Eunuchs have been slaves of the emperor's family since ancient times, and there are some capable ministers among them. Not to mention the distant Taishi Gong, that is Cai Lun, the Marquis of Longting.
He is also an eunuch, but how much convenience does his Cai Hou paper bring to the world's scholars now? Can he only be killed with one shot?" When Yuan Shao heard this, he also knew that he had said the wrong thing, because this man's father was the adopted son of the eunuch Cao Teng, so he laughed
He said: "Okay, Meng De, I'm sorry for saying something wrong, please forgive me!" This man named Meng De, his name is Cao Cao, and his courtesy name is Meng De. He has been friends with Yuan Shao since he was a child. When he saw what Yuan Shao said, he
No longer entangled in the matter, he said: "Okay, you're going to treat me today!" "I'll definitely do it!" So the two of them left hand in hand.
The young young man standing aside looked at the backs of the two people, shook his head and sneered: "What kind of person I thought he was, but it turns out he is still just a man with a bag of wine and rice. It seems that I, Qiu Liju, think too highly of this Central Plains person! Now this
The chaos in the government of the Southerners is a great opportunity for Wuhuan to strengthen its troops. Once the time comes, why can't I sit in Luoyang City?" After talking to himself, he strode away.
No one paid attention to this little episode in the crowd, because everyone was attracted by a young man in his twenties on the street. The young man was wearing civilian clothes, but he was mighty and majestic. He had a sword across his waist and stood.
In the middle of the road, they blocked the way of the group of soldiers.
"Bold!" When the sergeant saw someone blocking the road, he thrust his spear straight into the man's chest. If the man dared to move, the spear would definitely poke a hole in the man's chest. The man was not afraid and ignored those words.
The sergeant suddenly fell to his knees on the ground and shouted loudly: "Student Gongsun Zan has met his mentor!" Liu Ru took a look and quickly took a few steps forward to push the sergeants aside. He saw that they were indeed his students.
He lifted him up and said, "Bogui, please get up quickly. Why are you here?"
The sergeants originally wanted to step forward to stop them, but when they saw that their heads were silent, they stopped saying anything and just said: "Hurry, we will be on the road soon!" Liu Ru clasped his fists and said, "Thank you all!" So he will
Gongsun Zan pulled him aside and whispered: "Bogui, please leave quickly. Now I am a prisoner of the imperial court. If Zhang Rang, Zhao Zhong and other traitors find out, it will be troublesome for you! You'd better leave quickly!"
Gongsun Zan shook his head and said: "Master, if I come here today, I will not go back again. I want to follow my mentor to the land of Lingnan to take care of my mentor! I hope my mentor will agree!" After saying that, he knelt down on the ground. Liu Ru
I was stunned. This Lingnan is a barren land. This time Cao Luan's incident implicated me. Normally, my relatives and friends stopped visiting for fear of being implicated. But today, one of my nominal students, Gongsun Zan, appeared in front of so many people.
In front of him, he asked to follow him to Lingnan. Liu Ru's heart suddenly felt touched, and he actually burst into tears.
He knew that Gongsun Zan had already made up his mind since he came here. Besides, he was not a pedantic person. Since Gongsun Zan was going to follow him, it would be a good idea to take this person with him, so he helped Gongsun Zan up and said
"Bo Gui, the future is dangerous, you have to think carefully!" When Gongsun Zan heard Liu Ru's intention, he nodded happily and said: "Gongsun Zan has decided!" Liu Ru nodded.
