It was that night when a fire broke out in the Weiyang Palace. Zhong Yao, Yang Biao and other important ministers living in Chang'an were awakened by the housekeeper at home. The moment they learned that the Weiyang Palace was on fire, their expressions changed drastically.
When Zhong Yao, Yang Biao and others got dressed and came out, the night sky was dyed red by the raging fire. When Zhong Yao came out wearing single clothes, his face was extremely distorted when he saw this scene.
"Zhong Chang, bring me all the nursing homes at home. Give me all the weapons and crossbows. Anyone who dares to knock on the door tonight will not be opened. Anyone who dares to break the door will be killed without mercy!" Zhong Yao angrily shouted.
, "So cruel, so cruel, really cruel!"
"No!" Zhong Yao's butler immediately saluted with clasped fists.
"Seal the door of the house and no one can enter. Anyone who leaves the Yang family tonight will be expelled from the house." Yang Biao said with a sinister face. He no longer had the gentleness of the good gentleman before. The head of the Yang family, who has been a wealthy family for many years, showed at this moment
The momentum that came out directly curbed the panic in the family.
"The clan surnamed Liu is so cruel!" Yang Xiu said with a sneer while looking at the firelight of Weiyang Palace.
"Shut up, this matter is not yours to comment on!" Yang Biao glanced at Yang Xiu coldly, and Yang Xiu couldn't help but feel a chill in his heart when he looked at his old father's cold eyes.
"Isn't it...?" Yang Xiu asked in a low voice.
"I don't know. Ever since the theory that the Holy Emperor hangs his head and governs the world has appeared in Chang'an, and even further cabinets, parliaments, constitutional government, etc., Chang'an chaos has already happened sooner or later." Yang Biao shook his head and said, "
The situation is too complicated now.”
When Yang Xiu heard this, his heart trembled. He stopped being moved by external things and started thinking purely. However, the more he thought about it, the uglier his face became. As Yang Biao said, the situation now is too complicated.
It is true that as soon as the theory of constitutional government came out, everyone in the Liu family's clan with brains knew that it was against the Liu family. If Liu Xie were to join forces, this extremely unfavorable situation for the Liu family might happen.
Once something like this happens, the interests of the entire royal family will be substantially shaken. In this case, it is not impossible to kill the emperor, help Liu Bei ascend to the throne, and protect the interests of the entire royal family with the strength of the strongest clan named Liu.
It is very possible.
However, the problem now is not only the Liu clan, but also the calculations of other people. In this situation, there are too many motives to kill the emperor.
Just as Yang Xiu was thinking, a huge sword light rose from Wuyang Palace, and then completely shattered.
"It's over, the emperor is afraid..." When the fire broke out before, although Yang Biao was harsh, he really didn't think that the emperor would die. The combat effectiveness of the emperor's master Wang Yue was no joke, protecting Liu Xie in the complex terrain of Chang'an.
It's very easy to rush out.
And when the previous sword light shattered, Yang Biao already understood that Wang Yue had died in the battle. The sword fell from the twilight to the peak but shattered in the night sky. It was enough to show that the other party had arranged an opponent who could rival Wang Yue, and even had already
Wang Yue was seriously injured first, and that light sword was the emperor's final counterattack.
"Quickly notify the guards at home and distribute the crossbows in the warehouse one by one. Anyone who dares to enter Yang's house tonight will be killed without mercy. Anyone who knocks on the door will not open it." Yang Biao roared, he is worse than Zhong Yao after all.
After a while, Zhong Yao gave up any hope for Wang Yue the moment Wei Yang became angry, but Yang Biao still hesitated for a while.
"Sure enough, was the Imperial Master Wang Yue also plotted against?" Zhong Yao smiled bitterly and looked at the broken sword light. Although he had estimated it, he still couldn't help but sigh when he actually saw it. He had already heard the sound in Chang'an City.
Zhong Yao knew whether the chaotic sounds of fire fighting were fighting the fire or killing someone.
"From twilight to the peak, the last swan song has been broken before it falls. It seems to be the hand of someone around me. I don't know if it is Shi A or someone else." Zhong Yao shook his head and said, slowly moving toward the interior of his home.
Go to the hospital and burn it. There is no way to save it.
Liu Yu, who rushed back from the north to preside over the clan affairs of the Han Dynasty, looked at the fire in the direction of Weiyang Palace with a twisted expression.
"Which one of you is the one who succeeded!" Liu Yu roared, and all the clan members surnamed Liu looked at each other. After they learned about the Chang'an trend of thought, they did have the idea of getting rid of Liu Xie quickly to avoid letting others share power with them, but
Killing Liu Xie so crazyly...
A group of clan members surnamed Liu, who didn't know who had done this, felt secretly happy. In this situation, Liu Xie was going to die. It would be better if he died. It would save them from being bad guys. They would turn around and promote Liu Bei to him. Let's see who of you still dares to call for constitutional government.
In the old house of the Zhou family, Zhou Hui looked extremely ugly. Wei Young was furious. He hadn't provoked the Liu clan to take action, so why did he end up like this?
Although the current situation not only meets Zhou Yu's requirements, but even goes beyond it, Zhou Hui is not a fool after all. He did not do it by himself, and it will definitely not be as smooth as he thought. What's more, the current situation is even worse. This is
Killing the Emperor!
"This is killing the emperor, who is so cruel!" Xiao Huangmen Tang Min felt a chill in his heart. [Jia Wenhe was not so cruel, he just forced Huang Kui to strike first and provoked a conflict between the clan and Dong Cheng and others.
The conflict forced both sides to fight.】
"Are you crazy? What's the point of this approach?" After Xi Zhicai died, Chang'an's eyeliner, who was intercepted by Guo Jia before Xun Yu had time to recover everything, muttered to himself.
"It's over, it's over, I can't explain it to the head of the family now." In a courtyard in Chang'an, a middle-aged man said bitterly, this time he really couldn't explain it to him.
As the sword light shattered on the Weiyang Palace, the entire Chang'an was in complete chaos. The royalists led by Dong Cheng, Wang Zifu and others all rushed out from their homes and rushed towards the palace. However, at this time the fire broke out
It has become too big to be extinguished.
As for the emperor, he could no longer find it. There was a sword stuck on the floor tiles 300 steps away from the main hall of Weiyang Palace. There was an obvious scratch on the sword. The sword stuck on the floor tiles, even if no one was using it at this time, was still glowing.
His sharp momentum makes it impossible for ordinary people to approach him.
This is a weapon that is equivalent to Guan Yu's Qinglong Yanyue Sword and Lu Bu's Fangtian Painted Halberd, which possesses a spirit. It's just that I don't know whether the user died and the tyrannical obsession poured into it to form the spirit, or whether it already possessed the spirit.
It's just that with such a sword stuck in place, its sharp momentum forced all the private soldiers to dare to step forward. After all, this weapon is equivalent to half of the internal energy leaving the body.
"Your Majesty!" Seeing that the fire could not be extinguished, Dong Cheng knelt down on the stone pavement in front of the main hall and cried loudly. Then everyone behind him seemed to feel the sadness in Dong Cheng's heart, and they all knelt down like Dong Cheng.
on the ground.
Dong Cheng burst into tears, and after three bows and nine kowtows, he stood up. The cowardice of a civil servant completely faded from his body, and all that remained was his will to die.
"Let's go, let's kill!" Dong Cheng said coldly to everyone around him.
Wang Zifu and others looked at each other. Shouldn't they be frantically putting out the fire now? Even if they couldn't save it, they should continue to save it. Why did they suddenly switch to killing?
"Who are we going to kill?" Huang Kui asked.
"Kill the Han clan members and Han ministers one by one until we are all dead!" Dong Cheng said with cold eyes, "They are all enemies."
Wang Zifu and others were shocked, but they did not stop Dong Cheng. A group of Liu Xie's loyalists led their private soldiers and killed them one by one. After the emperor died, they were not prepared to live, and the others
All suspects should be buried.
For them now, there is no need to pay attention to any evidence at all, just kill them. The emperor has already been in trouble, and other things need to be verified?
As for what other people think, the emperor still refuses to listen to the emperor's orders. This is unfaithfulness. The emperor is in trouble and does not rescue him. This is unjust. What is wrong with killing such an unfaithful and unjust person? What's more, Dong Cheng has already
He has a desire to die and just wants to drag people to their deaths.
Driven by this mentality, Dong Cheng began to knock on the doors of those who had motives and those who were disloyal and unjust.
Someone kept the door closed, but Dong Cheng broke in directly and entered the home. Someone pushed the door open and saw it was Dong Cheng. He closed the door directly, but Dong Cheng killed him and killed the whole family.
This kind of situation where thousands of private soldiers gather in one place, although the combat effectiveness is far less than that of the regular soldiers of the Han army, it is not something that unprepared officials can resist, unless Xiang Zhong Yao, Yang Biao and others have prepared a guard hospital early in the morning
, take out the prohibited items from the treasury, otherwise, it will be extremely difficult to resist.
"Liu Yu?" Dong Cheng looked at Liu Yu's mansion and said with a sneer, "Knock on the door."
Along the way, Dong Cheng's not very clear mind actually came up with a thread, that is, the Han clan clan. The core of the recent trend of thought is constitutionalism. Not to mention the influence on the emperor, the influence on the clan is definitely not small.
Originally, with such a move, the clan and the emperor were supposed to be grasshoppers on the same rope, but after the emperor's death, his mind was in chaos, and Dong Cheng, who was forced to calm down by his will to die, could now see things clearly that he could not see clearly before.
The emperor and the clan are not grasshoppers on the same rope at all.
Liu Xie, the emperor of the Han Dynasty, could be forced to implement constitutionalism, which would lead to collective restrictions on the clan. However, if the emperor was changed, the interests of the clan would not be damaged. In this case, what would it matter if the emperor was changed?
The throne of the Eastern Han Dynasty, for the clan, itself means that the throne takes turns. It comes to my house this year. What's more, after Liu Xie's death, the Liu Hong line is finished. You can choose from other branches, and Liu Bei happens to be a very good choice.
[If all the clan members surnamed Liu are here with Zongzheng, then they will all be killed!] Dong Cheng took a deep breath and knocked on the door of Liu Yu's house. Liu Yu's concierge opened the door. Dong Cheng led a group of people and swarmed in, but not everyone
There was no direct action until...
"Sure enough, it's you morons!" Dong Cheng said angrily after seeing the group of Han clan clan members in Liu Yu's main hall. Immediately, arrows rained out, and a group of people rushed towards Liu Yu's main hall.
Xian Yufu pulled Liu Yu aside, and an arrow grazed the tip of Liu Yu's nose. Many members of the clan named Liu were shot to the ground on the spot, and then there was even more mourning.
"Qi Zhou, protect the lord, I will cut off the queen." Wei Dun shouted and protected Liu Yu, and then asked others to protect Liu Yu.
The so-called many righteous men from Yan and Zhao, Liu Yu did indeed do well in Youzhou, so after learning that Liu Yu was still alive, many warriors and disciples from Youzhou spontaneously came to follow Liu Yu, so they followed Wei Dun's roar
, five or six Qi Lian Cheng Gang rushed out, holding several cases to protect Liu Yu, and many more martyrs poured out from the back hall.
For a while, a fierce conflict broke out between the two sides in the main hall. However, Liu Yu was small in number and unprepared. Under the suppression of Dong Cheng's strong crossbow, Qi Zhou and others could only protect Liu Yu, Liu He and others from escaping. As for the other Liu Yu,
With the surname of the clan, everyone who comes here will die here.
A group of Youzhou warriors protected Liu Yu and fled. At this time, those guys who had their families destroyed by Dong Cheng but escaped with their lives also gathered people from their own families and other friends' families to surround Dong Cheng and others.
, after all, Dong Cheng really made the public angry this time.
The two sides had a good fight on the streets of Chang'an City. In the end, Dong Cheng relied on better equipment and relatively good combat experience to win. However, at this time, Dong Cheng looked around, and what followed behind him was also
There were only a dozen people left, and not a single one of the original Han officials and clan members surnamed Liu survived this battle.
Wang Zifu, Huang Kui and others had already fallen in the fighting, and Dong Cheng was almost out of fuel, and the streets of Chang'an were filled with the smell of blood.
"You go, don't worry about me, you have been loyal to me all your life, take the Dong family's property and leave Chang'an anonymously." Dong Cheng looked at the dozen people behind him and said, he didn't need to visit the Dong family and other families at all.
, I’m afraid they were also slaughtered.
The dozen or so guards all saluted after hearing this, and then took their weapons and left the place as quickly as possible. Soon they would be unable to leave even if they wanted to.
After the group of people left, Dong Cheng fell to the ground softly.
"I didn't expect that I would die so ugly." Dong Cheng's consciousness gradually blurred. However, at this time, the sound of carriage wheels suddenly came from the silent road. Dong Cheng, who was almost unconscious, tried his best to open his eyelids.
.
"You..." Although Dong Cheng's eyes were blurry at this time and he could hardly see clearly, he somehow knew the identity of the other party. He opened his mouth with great effort, but failed to make a complete sound, and even spit out a mouthful of blood.
"Hate..." Dong Cheng's vague voice came out, and then there was no sound. Only when the car frame passed by slowly, Dong Cheng's eyes rose with a vague luster, as if he saw something, and as if
It was the hallucination of seeing Han Zuo's prosperity, and the corners of his mouth slowly moved up.
The carriage emerged from the darkness and slowly walked into the darkness, leaving only the sound of the carriage wheels running over the stone bricks, which gradually disappeared with the wind, and the era of Emperor Liu Xie of the Han Dynasty came to an end.
As the price for the end of the previous era, the Han Dynasty's senior ministers who could rank senior officials were almost wiped out by Dong Cheng. The Liu family had a name and a surname, and they had the ability to restrain the emperor. Only a few were left who had the ability to recommend the emperor.
number.
The victorious army who had returned from the great victory in northern Xinjiang, Liu Zhang, the leader of Yizhou, Sichuan and Shu, who held dozens of begging sheets, was shocked when he received the news the next day.
