That night, Huangfu Song specially put on a yellow round-collar military uniform, with a brocade belt around his waist and a leather ball on the outside. The person who served him in changing clothes was Cangtou Huangfu Shi. He was Huangfu Song when he was the governor of the North.
, and the orphan adopted after the war had no name or surname, so Huangfu Song named him personally. The two had a deep relationship. Huangfu Shi knelt down and said: "You are going to the land of Jiuyou, how can you not serve and hold a sword?
Where are you? Please allow me to go with you."
Huangfu Song sighed and persuaded him: "Why bother? I know you are loyal, but the soul is in the heart of the human heart. If you have the intention, just keep watch for me for three years. If anyone else does it,
Even if I die, I will not feel at ease even if I know the truth."
Huangfu Shi was silent for a long time, thinking in his heart: "Your descendants will be responsible for guarding the funeral, so why bother with me? But your current situation was framed by thieves. If I could know who framed you, I would definitely sacrifice my life."
I will take my life to avenge you. If you are lucky enough to survive at that time, I will guard your body until death, and it will not be too late."
Soon, the sky became completely dark, and the patter of rain gradually began. A spring rain came unexpectedly. When Li Ru and others came in, Huangfusong was the only one sitting in the study, with pens and papers on the table.
, but the letter was only half written. At this time, he was holding a long bow in his hand, lowering his head to adjust the bow string.
The raindrops outside made a rustling sound on the leaves. The people who came stood in the corridor, took off their bamboo hats, and took off their leather boots that were soaked by the rain at the door. Following Li Ru were two people, one of whom was the Grand Master.
Tian Jing, the head of the palace, and Dong Min, the general of the left. From the perspective of status, Tian Jing represents the Taishi's personal residence, Dong Min is the spokesperson for the Taishi in controlling the court, and Li Ru handles the entire matter and balances the Taishi.
The executor of internal conflicts under his command. He should be the one to preside over the ceremony, but Huangfu Song did not give him this opportunity.
At this time, Huangfu Song put down his bow and arrow and was about to continue writing a letter under the lamp. Since he was second only to the Grand Master, the three of them stood at the door waiting to be greeted. When Huangfu Song saw it, he just stopped writing and raised his hand and said: "Everyone, please wait a moment."
Wait, wait until I finish writing my suicide note." After saying that, he continued to write. He quickly started writing and finished it in an instant. He looked up and saw the three people looking at him. He smiled slightly and took out a gold seal and a stone seal from under the case.
After carefully examining the seal, it turned out that the gold seal was the "Seal of the Chariot and Cavalry General" and the stone seal was Huangfu Song's personal seal "Chen Song's Letter". Everyone in the room was aroused.
With many memories of the military years, Huangfu Song held the seal in his hand, and with infinite emotion in his heart, he finally took out the seal pad and stamped the letters one by one.
Huangfusong collected the letter and coughed at them. Then Li Ru and the other two took off their wooden clogs, came in and knelt down facing each other. Among the three of them, Li Ru and Dong Min only had a short sword, while Tian Jing had a big sword.
, placed across the thigh.
The atmosphere was very dull, but Huangfu Song still looked normal on the surface. Dong Min had been taken care of by Huangfu Song when he was in Chang'an. Looking at Huangfu Song at this time, he unconsciously felt admiration for him, but considering his own identity, he could only say:
"Do you have anything you want to say to the Grand Master?"
Huangfusong had worked with Dong Min for a year. He knew that Dong Min was a boring person and it was not easy for him to ask first, so he smiled at him, took out one of the two letters on the desk, and said to him: "This one is
What I have passed on to the emperor are the words from my heart. I hope you, Shuying, can pass them on."
He handed another letter to Tian Jing and said, "Everything I want to say to the Grand Master is in this letter. Please keep it."
"Yes." After Tian Jing answered, he immediately stood up and took it respectfully.
They thought that Huangfu Song had some last words to defend himself, so they all waited with bated breath. Unexpectedly, Huangfu Song had no such intention and did not want to say anything more. He took out the short knife from his waist and carefully observed the shining blade under the lamp.
Then he put the knife on the table and took off his fur, revealing his white military uniform. Only then did everyone present suddenly realize that Huangfu Song was such a majestic and handsome man.
He picked up the knife, and the three of them watched and lifted it up unconsciously. Seeing that his hand holding the knife was usually steady and not trembling at all, they all secretly admired him in their hearts. But they couldn't help but think sadly that Huangfu Song had only just held the knife this year.
In his early fifties, he is skilled in military and political affairs and is popular among the military. He is deeply feared by the world. If he contributes to the Grand Master, wouldn't he be many times stronger than Li Jue, Guo Si and others?
It is a pity that Huangfu Song's death not only resulted in the loss of talents, but also did not know how much trouble it would cause in the court. Li Ru thought of this and saw the cold light flashing on the short knife in his hand. He sighed in his heart that things are impermanent. A generation of outstanding people will turn into cold corpses in an instant.
, even more extremely sad.
Huangfu Song turned the tip of the knife over, raised it to his chest, and paused for a moment. At this time, the whole house was silent, except for the sound of raindrops falling continuously along the eaves.
He left his last words: "It is my fault to cause the world to collapse and not be able to unite the four seas."
After saying that, he used both hands to pierce the heart with the tip of the knife, until it reached the handle. But it did not completely penetrate the center, and the breath was still there. He used the last strength in his life to twist the handle of the knife, and blood immediately flowed all over his clothes.
, his body also softened, and he fell sideways on the mat, with blood pouring out of his mouth, and his legs were still twitching.
When Tian Jing saw this, he stood up suddenly and was about to cut off his head. Li Ru, who was blind, stretched out his hand to stop him and shouted: "The important ministers of the country who are riding horses are not ordinary people, so don't make mistakes!"
In the blink of an eye, I looked at Huangfu Song again. His hands and feet still moved slightly, then gradually stopped.
The three of them immediately bowed to Huangfu Song's body, then quickly turned around and came out, put on leather boots and bamboo hats, and walked into the courtyard in the cold rainy night. Huangfu Jianshou stood at the entrance of the courtyard, looking up at the sky.
, the rain covered his face, and it was hard to tell whether there were tears in his eyes.
Li Ru stepped forward and told him: "Tomorrow you will write to the court, saying that the chariots and cavalrymen feel the wind and cold due to the rain, and ask for leave to bathe. After three months, the Grand Master will send someone to bury the chariots and cavalrys in a grand ceremony. Remember, do not mourn! Otherwise, the family may be destroyed.
What a disaster!" Huangfu Jianshou could only nod.

Looking up at the rooms in the mansion, they are all pitch black, and the door in front of the mansion is open, like a haunted house. Maybe they are silently praying for the owner. Maybe it is also a silent protest.
After walking out of the mansion, the three of them got into the carriage and opened Huangfu Song's legacy letter.
The letter he wrote to Grand Master Dong Zhuo was a confession, claiming that he was "devoted to the country" and had absolutely no intention of disloyalty. Dong Zhuo's conviction this time was like "the King of Yan forced Le Yi and the second generation killed Meng Tian"
", but he "wanted to reuse the kindness of the restoration and cherished the ambition to clear out the thieves" and did not dare to disobey, but he really had "hard to express the pain" in his heart. He hoped that the grand master would stop blaming his family and work hard to eradicate the Central Plains.
, recuperate and recuperate afterwards, and return to power as the emperor. In this way, "the name can be hung on bamboo and silk."
The letter he wrote to the emperor was a political commentary, saying that the world is in chaos. The reason seems to be that Chang Shi is disrupting the government, but in fact it is because the central government is weak and the local powers are powerful. The county government only knows the emperor but not the emperor, and only knows the countryside.
The party does not know the court. If the emperor wants to regain his power, he should divide the ministerial duties and educate widely. If the Han Dynasty can be revived, Huangfu Song will be very happy even under Jiuquan.
His words were sincere, and the three of them were silent. Then Dong Min took the letter and said goodbye to the two of them, and returned to the palace first. Li Ru and Tian Jing took the car directly to Xiwu Middle.
When they arrived at Xiwu, it was already early the next morning. When Li Ru and Tian Jing went to inform the Grand Master, he took a nap in the side room for a while. By the time he could see the Grand Master again, the rain had stopped.
Dong Zhuo was still lying on the couch, reading Huangfu Song's suicide note for a while, and then asked Li Ru, Tian Jing and the others: "Did he say anything else before he died?"
Li Ru said: "The rider was quite remorseful before he died, saying that it was his fault that the world was in chaos."
Dong Zhuo understood what Huangfu Song meant, put down the letter, and said slowly: "He regrets using it for me." If an ordinary person said this to him, Dong Zhuo would definitely be furious, but now that Huangfu Song was removed so easily, it made him feel uncomfortable.
He felt a little guilty in his heart, and he could only comfort himself by saying: "Huangfu Song is too popular. Regardless of whether he is involved in treason or not, he must be removed."
Huangfu Song's matter came to an end, and he wanted to investigate the assassination again, so he turned to Li Rudao: "Wen You, if you want to find out the person who assassinated me, what can you do now?"
Li Ru replied: "Originally there was no such thing, but now that the rider has died, there is a way."
Dong Zhuo asked curiously: "What method?"
Li Ru thought for a while and said: "Now it seems that the fire in the ancestral temple, the rumor among the people, and the assassination of the imperial master must have been directed by one person, and even if the chariot rider is not the mastermind behind it, it is still an extremely important part.
, we can use the death of the charioteer to carry out the plan of "fishing for love", and we can understand the enemy behind the scenes."
Dong Zhuo asked: "What is fishing love?"
Li Ru explained: "Snakes move when you pluck grass, tigers run when you knock on mountains, and you use people and things as bait to catch the truth behind the scenes. In the past, the king of Qi wanted to establish a queen, so he ordered his ministers to discuss it. Lord Mengchang wanted to satisfy the king, so he presented an Er to Qi.
King, there is only one that is rich and beautiful, different from the others. The next day, Lord Mengchang secretly asked the servant Meier where he was, and then he learned who the King of Qi favored. Then he persuaded him to appoint him as his queen, and the King of Qi was very happy, so he paid tribute to Lord Mengchang. This is
'Fishing for love'."
Tian Jing held up his palms and sighed: "It's wonderful, but how do you catch love?"
Li Rudao: "I have sent people to keep an eye on the gates of Cheqi's house and Xunyou's house, and strictly ordered not to reveal the news of Cheqi's death. I will see who comes forward to inquire about the news, and find out who spread the news of Cheqi's death, and then screen out the people who contacted Xun Gongda."
If you make good friends, the answer will come naturally."
"Okay! Wen You is indeed my think tank!" Dong Zhuo was overjoyed when he heard this. He immediately sat up, which caused the wound to be affected. His face was green and red for a while. It took him a while to calm down, but he still smiled with hatred.
: "Using Huangfu Song's death as bait, I want to see how many fish want to bite the hook in the deep water of Chang'an!"
The next day when martial law was lifted, Situ Wang Yun was inspecting matters at the Chancellor's Desk when he opened a memorial. He saw that the signature was "Chen Huangfu Jian Shou Biao." He slowly opened it and read it, his eyebrows couldn't help but reveal a hint of joy.
He called his chief advisor, He Yong, and whispered to him for a while, then pretended that nothing happened and continued to approve the rest of the books.
