Chapter 206 You Must Survive For The First Emperor
Chapter 206 For the sake of the late emperor, you must survive
"Uncle, can't this matter be postponed for a while?"
Yuan Ji came to Yuan Wei again today to discuss with him Dong Zhuo's entry into the capital. However, after receiving Yuan Shao's letter, Yuan Wei had already made up his mind and refused to enter the country, allowing others to persuade him.
"Shiji, the transfer order has been sent to Liangzhou by the General's Office together with the four offices. What's the use of you coming to talk to me about this now?"
Yuan Wei shook his head helplessly and sighed: "Now the transfer order has been rushed to Jincheng. At this moment, even if I want to regret it, I am afraid He Jin will not agree."
When Yuan Ji heard this, he couldn't help but let out a long sigh.
It seems that when things have reached this point, there is no way back.
However, although this fact cannot be changed, some other methods need to be thought of to restrict Dong Zhuo's actions in Luoyang.
Seeing that Yuan Ji's expression was a little lonely, Yuan Wei stretched out his hand and patted his shoulder and said: "Shiji, what uncle Fei said about you, you, you are really a bit unreasonable right now. After so many years, has uncle ever done this?"
Things that you are not sure about? Don't worry, don't think too much. In recent days, you have to pay more attention to all the affairs in the court. I will control all the affairs of the palace and eunuchs. Don't think too much."
At this point, what can Yuan Ji say?
He smiled casually at Liu Bei and said: "I appreciate Xuande's kindness. It's just that I'm old and have no mood to get involved in this matter anymore. I will live or die.
It all depends on fate, I don’t want to fight with fate anymore, just do whatever you have to do, it doesn’t matter.”
None of the eunuchs in the imperial city dared to come out, but there was only one exception.
Liu Bei told Lu Qiang that he could not return to the palace easily at this time.
…
In this way, Lu Qiang found a place to survive in the crisis-ridden Luoyang Imperial City.
"Attendant Zhongchang, the late emperor died in his prime. It was not a man-made disaster, but destiny. This was not your fault, nor the fault of my brothers. Back then, you and my brother allied themselves to advise the late emperor. Although the decline of the Han family was not reversed,
But it has also achieved considerable success.”
The housekeeper came in in a hurry and saw Yuan Ji's anxious expression. He couldn't help but wonder: "My father-in-law, it's already dark and it's still raining lightly outside. Is it a bit strange for my father-in-law to go out at this time..."
"Don't say any more! I have made up my mind. Where did all this nonsense come from? If you are asked to make arrangements, just make arrangements! Luoyang has suspended the curfew now. Who can stop me when I leave the house?"
But what is surprising is that after Lu Qiang left the imperial city, no one on He Jin's side tried to capture him, and no one thought of making things difficult for him.
Since the death of Jian Shuo, Luoyang City, the General's Mansion and the eunuchs in the palace have become antagonistic. Although there has been no confrontation for the time being, there is a tense atmosphere inside and outside the imperial city all day long, like a dark cloud.
The city is almost breathless.
At this moment, Yuan Ji suddenly woke up!
Although Liu Jian is no longer there, his brother Liu Bei is still there!
I still remember that last time at my mansion, Liu Jian got a fake axe. In order to show his loyalty, Liu Bei tried to wipe his neck on the spot. Fortunately, he stopped him.
Liu Bei asked curiously: "Why do you make such arrogant remarks? Life is better than death after all!"
However, that was the original situation after all, and the situation is different now.
After returning home, Liu Jian's letter arrived just in time. Yuan Ji hurriedly opened it and carefully read the meaning of Liu Jian's letter.
Liu Jian, Liu Jian...
Nowadays, all the private residences of Shi Changshi in the capital were controlled by He Jin's troops. Only Lu Qiang's house was not. And because of this, Liu Bei was able to enter and leave Lu Qiang's house smoothly.
"The Yellow Turbans have been defeated, the Party has been freed from prison, and now my brother is working on farming in Jizhou to stabilize people's livelihood. Could it be that this has nothing to do with your original plan?"
It seems that Liu Hong's death also had a huge impact on him.
It can be regarded as a small way of repaying his kindness for admonishing me back then.
It just depends on when you start.
The streets were full of spies disguised by the most elite among the generals.
Lu Qiang looked at Liu Bei in surprise.
When thinking of this, Yuan Ji felt quite lonely.
Now that the party's imprisonment has been lifted, party members have been recruited to Beijing on a large scale by He Jin and the Yuan family. Even if it is to protect the face of the party members, He Jin does not have to take action against Lu Qiang.
"For the sake of the Han Dynasty, you must survive."
"Although I, Liu Bei, am incompetent, I am determined to help the Han Dynasty. Even if I suffer a thousand defeats, I will never compromise!"
After saying that, Lu Qiang looked at Liu Bei and said bitterly: "Now that the late emperor has passed away, the situation in the court has become like this day and night. Seeing that the generals of the country will not be in the country, and the generals in the country will not be in the country, the old slave's heart... is so panicked!
"
However, Yuan Ji did not blame Liu Jian. After all, he was far away in Jizhou and did not know much about the situation in Luoyang. Moreover, he also concealed a lot from Liu Jian. Liu Jian did not know what was going on, so naturally he could only reply with these
content.
Lu Qiang did not read Liu Jian's letter. His expression was very lonely and indifferent, as if he had resigned himself to his fate.
He Jin and the Yuan family have already mobilized soldiers from other counties to the capital. Once the troops from other counties arrive and attack the imperial city, no matter whether they are Lu Qiang or not, as long as they have no beard, they will all be executed!
Liu Bei brought Liu Jian's letter to Lu Qiang and told him how powerful he was.
Anyone with a discerning eye knows that this time the struggle has been completely superficial, and bloodshed is inevitable!
Zhang Rang and Zhao Zhong were extremely flattering and had just gained the trust of Empress Dowager He. However, Lu Qiang was distracted all day long, yet he was treated the same as them. This made Zhang Rang and others very unhappy, but they were helpless.
"Your Majesty listened to your brother's words. Although he was favored by the late emperor, he never received a word of loyal advice from then on. Until the late emperor passed away, I didn't know what I was doing with my life."
As long as you, He Jin, still care about the imperial power, I understand that you will not dare to lead troops to attack the imperial city easily!
"Yes, yes! Sir, please calm down and I will make arrangements right away."
Lu Qiang still went to the palace on time and on duty, and left the palace and returned home when he was off duty.
Xiudao was a regular eunuch. Even the other eunuchs, none of them dared to return home after their duty. They just stayed in the palace and did not leave the palace.
But it is a pity that Liu Jian's letter did not contain any good countermeasures. He only gave a symbolic reply, which made Yuan Ji feel empty.
Although Lu Qiang has given Liu Hong a lot of "flowery ideas" over the years, his reputation as a person is still good, especially since he had several times asked Liu Hong to release the "party prison". Although he was unsuccessful in the end,
At least he opened his mouth.
When he said this, he saw Lu Qiang burying his face in the old hands and crying.
"This is a letter from my brother Deran to Mr. Zhongchang. Please take a look at it, just take a look."
Fortunately, Lu Qiang has no intention of competing with them now. In addition, Shi Changshi is now cornered by He Jin. Faced with a life and death situation, he has no intention of fighting with Lu Qiang.
Liu Bei didn't say anything for a long time, just letting Lu Qiang cry.
Lu Qiang raised his head in confusion and looked at the silk with his cloudy old eyes, only to see that there were only a few words on it.
However, although the Shi Changshi who surrounded the new emperor and Queen Mother He all day long was favored, Queen Mother He still remembered how Lu Qiang took care of their mother and son when she was left out by Liu Hong, so she also treated Lu Qiang particularly
Favor is no weaker than Zhang Rang, Zhao Zhong and others who flatter them all day long.
When he thought of this, Yuan Ji hurriedly called to people: "Here comes someone! Change your clothes and prepare your car! Send me to Liu Jizhou's mansion!"
This person is Lu Qiang.
In fact, if you think about it carefully, this is reasonable.
Since Liu Hong's death, Lu Qiang seemed to have lost his soul, saying little and acting dull all day long.
Lu Qiang had no family. He just lived alone in a small house in Beijing. He had a few maids who dressed up for him. His life was pretty good, but it was by no means as dazzling as Zhang Rang and Zhao Zhong.
Maybe you can ask Liu Bei for advice. He can teach you some ways to limit and control Dong Zhuo.
Although I don't know if his resourcefulness is as powerful as Liu Jian, at least like Liu Jian, he is a person who is loyal to himself, a hero, and a gentleman who understands justice.
"You don't need to be so conceited as a human being, right?"
However, although the two sides have never fought against each other, the storm is coming, and the atmosphere in Luoyang City is already different from the past.
Yuan Ji took advantage of the darkness to go to Liu Jian's residence to find Liu Bei, but little did he know that Liu Bei was at Lu Qiang's residence at this time.
Even walking on the street, you will always feel a chilling atmosphere.
After he vented his emotions, he saw Liu Bei opening Liu Jian's letter, taking out the silk and placing it in front of Lu Qiang.
Lu Qiang shook his head and said: "That may be the case for you, but for the old slave, it really doesn't matter. When the late emperor was here, the old slave used to constantly give advice to the late emperor in order to persuade him, but for many years he failed to do so.
The late emperor gradually fell into neglect,"
How great would it have been if Liu Jian had not been sent to Jizhou as a herdsman?
I was afraid that my life would be lost if I left the palace.
He could only resigned to Yuan Kai helplessly and returned to his mansion.
"Attendant Zhongchang, although the late emperor is dead, the new emperor is still here, do you want to die with such peace of mind? Don't you want to protect the new emperor for the late emperor, watch the new emperor grow up, and shoulder the responsibility of carrying this great country?
?”
"If you are going to die like this, then I can only say that I am afraid that you will not be able to face the late emperor under the Nine Springs!"
Lu Qiang stared blankly at Liu Bei in front of him, saying nothing for a long while.
After a long time, I saw him let out a long sigh of relief and said: "Oh, you two brothers are really my nemesis! I don't know if I am lucky or unfortunate to meet you in this life!"
