Even though he was already in a certain death situation, Chen Chong gradually showed a calm look. He tried his best to calm everyone's emotions, and turned to Dong Bai and said: "Don't worry, there is no one in this world who dares to kill me, Chen Tingjian. I will lead people directly in
Palace! Everything will be fine when you meet the Emperor and the Queen Mother."
Dong Bai had tears streaming down his face. He resisted crying and just held onto her husband's hand tightly. Chen Chong immediately understood that his wife was saying that she would never let him go alone. Chen Chong was very worried.
Moved, he whispered: "If you are worried, just go with me." And the guards who were hesitant at first felt ashamed when they saw the thin figures of the prime minister and his wife: The prime minister has devoted his life to the people, and he himself
How can you only care about your own safety? So they all asked for orders: "I am willing to protect the Prime Minister!" In the blink of an eye, everyone made up their minds and were willing to live and die with Chen Chong.
They opened the door of the house and wanted to crowd Chen Chong into the carriage, but Chen Chong refused. He said: "It's been a long time since so many people have accompanied me, so let us walk a little longer." So everyone lit torches and supported them carefully.
Chen Chong walked out.
At this time, the street was extremely quiet, and there was not a single person in sight. This gave Chen Xiu and others a glimmer of hope: maybe this trip would go smoothly. But then, the chaotic footsteps in the shadows broke their illusions.
, hundreds of soldiers who were ambushing on both sides of the Prime Minister's Mansion swarmed forward. The sound of clashing armored weapons sounded like a flood overflowing the embankment. Hundreds of people rushed forward, and Chen Chong and others were surrounded in the street in an instant.
The leader of these soldiers was Yulin Lang Huanfan. He looked at Chen Chong in the crowd with complicated eyes, then opened the edict in public and read out: "According to the emperor's edict, Prime Minister Chen Chong and Chang Shi Pang Tong colluded with each other to plot rebellion.
The crime is unpardonable, and the crime must be punished!" Then he drew his sword and pointed it at everyone and said: "The rest of the people who have nothing to do with it should get out of the way quickly. I am only taking the prime minister's family for this trip. If you still follow the prime minister, I will be punished for the same crime!
"
After the words fell, everyone was in a slight commotion, but it soon stopped. Someone scolded Huan Fan: "If you want to impose a crime, there is no excuse! The prime minister is already blind, how can you usurp power? Huan Yuanze, you are
He was promoted by the Prime Minister. Don't you know whether the Prime Minister has rebelled? It's enough that he is not a gentleman. Are you still imitating Wei Xi and others and becoming villains?"
However, Chen Chong quickly waved his hand to stop the scolding. He slowly walked out of the crowd with Dong Bai's support. At this time, it was the soldiers' turn to make a commotion. They all knew this Han Prime Minister and knew him.
At this time, they were old and weak, but even so, the soldiers felt a sincere panic. They turned to Huan Fan for help, but found that the leader had the same expression. At this time, Chen Chong looked at the group of soldiers with dull eyes.
The scholar said calmly: "If you think I am guilty, you can kill me now. If you don't think so, please get out of the way."
After that, Chen Chong continued to walk forward. He felt like he had broken into a cold iron wall, and he seemed to be in a land of ice and snow. The breath in the mouth and nose of the soldiers beside him was warm, but his wife's catkins in his hands were trembling constantly.
This made Chen Chong tighten his grip on his wife, and then he successfully passed through the soldiers. Immediately afterwards, Chen Xiu and the guards also passed through. The soldiers who were ordered to arrest him did not really stop him after all.
Instead, they stayed where they were, silently watching Chen Chong's back. After all, they chose to give up their responsibilities.
But this does not mean the end. Chen Chong knew that someone would stop him on the road. Who would it be? Is it Wei Xi? Is it Zhao Qiu? Or him? The answer was quickly explained. When everyone stepped into the Taipei
When they were walking down the street, they all stopped involuntarily. They saw thousands of soldiers gathered in the street, holding bloody heads in their hands, and they were colliding head-on with them. The leaders were Zhao Qiu and the cavalry general Zhang Fei.
.
When Zhang Fei saw Chen Chong's face, he was startled for a moment, then became furious and shouted at Chen Chong: "National traitor, how dare you come out to die!" After that, he took a big knife and stepped forward, pretending to slash with it.
Die Chen Chong. Although he was over sixty years old, he was still powerful. Even if the guards tried to stop him, he was still chopped into several pieces by him two or three times and killed directly in front of Chen Chong. Dong Bai tried to block Zhang Fei
He stood in front of the knife, but Chen Chong pushed him away with his backhand, and then he stood motionless on the spot.
Chen Chong has experienced such moments of life and death too many times, but this time it is completely different, because this is the blade of his brother. Chen Chong thought of many thoughts in an instant, just like those moments of life and death before, but he still didn't
Although I tried to avoid it, I finally thought: This may not be a way to escape.
But the sword was not swung down for a long time. Chen Chong could even smell the smell of blood on the blade, but he could not swing it down. Chen Chong felt Yide's gaze and couldn't help but feel curious. He had not seen Yide in three years.
He looked so rough now? Or had he lost weight after that incident? He subconsciously reached out his hand and tried to touch Yi De's face, but when he started to touch it, he touched the bones. So he said: "It's Yi De."
Virtue? Why have you lost so much weight?"
After saying this, Chen Chong could only hear a "bang" sound, which seemed to be the sound of the knife falling to the ground, but there was no one in the scene, but silence. Zhang Fei shook off Chen Chong's hand and wanted to pick it up.
He was holding his own knife, but he couldn't bend down. He was so confused that Zhao Qiu, who was standing beside him, hurriedly came up and said: "Chariot, the Queen Mother has an order to kill the thieves on the spot. You must not be soft-hearted! If you can't do it today,
Remove the national traitors, and the country will never have peace!"
Zhang Fei pushed him away impatiently, and finally picked up the knife on the ground. But when he looked at Chen Chong again, for some reason, he was still in a daze, unable to make a move. Zhao Qiu saw that something was wrong, and knew that the cavalry general was still
Taking care of the brotherhood, he simply made up his mind and said to the soldiers behind him: "Today is the day to support the country! If you want to repay the emperor's kindness, is there a better time? The Queen Mother has ordered that Chen Chong be killed.
Reward ten thousand pieces of silk and seal ten thousand households!"

Zhao Qiu drew his bow and loaded the arrow, and everyone soon relaxed. Another person said to Zhao Qiu: "How could the Prime Minister rebel? It must be an unjust case. The Prime Minister did not bring any weapons. Let him prove his innocence in front of the emperor.
, wouldn’t it be nice to resolve the misunderstanding?”
Zhao Qiu became anxious after hearing this. He privately reported Chen Chong's rebellion, hoping to achieve success in one step. How could he allow others to deny it? If the Queen Mother could not withstand the pressure and give in, she would be dead! But looking at the past, thousands of people did not
One person dared to attack Chen Chong, so he was so angry that he quickly snatched the bow and arrow from the other person, and cursed at everyone: "There are so many imperial guards in the court, but there is not a single loyal minister!" Then he waved his hand, drew the bow, and shot an arrow at Chen Chong.
It was impartial and hit Chen Chong's lower abdomen.
All this happened so fast that everyone was caught off guard. No one expected that anyone would dare to attack Chen Chong, and time seemed to freeze at this moment. An unprecedented pain swept through Chen Chong's body from his abdomen, making him completely helpless.
He stood, then his legs weakened and he fell directly to the ground. His eyes, which were originally shrouded in darkness, seemed to see light again at this time, but it was not the light of the human world, but like a colorful water surface falling from the sky.
He hugged him into his arms. Chen Chong was very familiar with this illusion. When he was at the gate of Chang'an City, he witnessed the whole family being killed by Lu Bu. He also saw such an illusion. Every deed in his life, a person he met
At this time, all the characters were passing by like a white horse, and he seemed to be floating among them, not knowing where he was coming from or where he was going. He seemed to hear screams and fighting in the distance, but if you listen carefully,
, and seemed to turn into the cries of children and the songs of mothers.
In this comforting color and sound, Chen Chong could no longer feel any of his own existence. The brilliance around him was gradually dissipating, and he himself seemed to become empty. But at this time, there was a voice calling anxiously in his ear.
He: "Ting Jian! Ting Jian!"
It was Dong Bai's voice. He opened his mouth forcefully and shouted slightly: "Is Yide here? Yide!" However, he thought, Yide might still be angry with him! Has he abandoned him?
Me?
But Yide's voice appeared, and he responded: "Brother, I'm here!"
At this time, Chen Chong woke up from his confusion. Although he could not see anything and could feel the severe pain in his abdomen, he could feel that he was holding his wife with one hand and his brother with the other.
He had thousands of words to say, but he couldn't express them. He paused for a long time and only said one sentence: "I'm going to die!"
Zhang Fei suppressed the urge to cry bitterly at this time, and reported back tremblingly: "Brother, it's okay, I have killed that villain Zhao Qiu, and I will not spare any of those villains Wei Tie!"
However, Chen Chong shook his head slightly and said to Zhang Fei: "Yide, please take me to the palace. Before I die, I have something to say to the Queen Mother."
After finishing speaking, he couldn't stop breathing. At this time, he felt his body being picked up by a pair of strong hands, and then he lay in a warm embrace. This warmth diluted his pain and even made his hearing temporarily impaired.
He regained his sensitivity. He heard Yide whisper the word "good", and also heard Dong Bai and Chen Xiu sobbing beside him. There were many, many people watching him. They discussed in low voices, but in the end
It turned into a scream.
The group started walking again. In Zhang Fei's arms, Chen Chong felt as if he was in a cradle and seemed to be falling asleep at any time. However, he still overcame this sleepiness and listened to the world's last echo to him. He didn't know how to leave.
Wherever he went, he heard a group of young voices calling him "teacher", surrounding him like oriole; and when he didn't know where he went, he heard a sound like iron rain, shouting at him.
He said "dragon head" to him, caressing him like a pine wave; gradually, more and more voices came in, including men, women, old and young, shouting "Prime Minister" to him, like
The ocean was rising and falling, completely surrounding him.
No one would have thought that on this clear night, after hearing the tragic news of the coup in the city, the entire people of Luoyang City spontaneously gathered together, following Chen Chong, and filled the ten-mile Taichang Street. They all
Know what you are about to witness.
At this time, Zhang Fei finally stopped. Chen Chong didn't know where he was, so he could only ask weakly: "Are you in the palace?"
Zhang Fei didn't speak, but he heard Liu Jia's voice. She replied in a tone so cold that it made him tremble: "Your Majesty and I are here. If the Prime Minister has any orders, just say so."
Chen Chong didn't care about the resentment in it. He just tried hard, raised his hand, grabbed it forward, and actually grabbed the hand of Queen Mother Liu Jia, and then said slowly: "I know I'm sorry for you, leaving you without a father.
Husband, I have no brothers, no children, but Li Rong, I am going to die soon. No matter how you treat me, I don’t care. But I only have one hope, that is, you must live a good life for the rest of your life!"
He couldn't see Liu Jia's expression, and he didn't know if she would listen, but he could always feel his adopted sister's trembling and shaking in his incomplete palms, and that was enough.
After saying that, he turned around to look for the emperor Liu Yi in confusion, and said with his last strength: "Kong Ming is a national genius. I hope that your majesty will depend on you for life and death. After I die, please let him succeed the prime minister. In less than ten years, the great man will definitely
The population is booming! By then, the late emperor, the great ancestors, and all the martyrs of the Han Dynasty..."
Before he finished speaking, his strength was exhausted unknowingly, as if a string stretched straight and then broke. Chen Chong felt that he was free from all pain and troubles, and his soul was completely separated from his body.
He flew into the colorful ocean that always shrouded his head, then rose up, and continued to rise, until he finally touched a cloud. And in the last moment of his consciousness, he heard the clear call of a yellow swan in the sky.
