Chapter 170: A 3-Month Appointment
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, help, help." Zhang Rang cried and climbed up to Liu Hong and said.
Liu Hong was hugging a palace maid for making out, and had drunk a lot of wine. Hearing Zhang Rang's cry at this time, he still couldn't react.
It took a while for Liu Hong to wake up, and asked in surprise, "Father, and all the lovers, what happened? Why are you calling for help? With me here, no one in the world dares to touch you."
Zhang Rang and the others breathed a sigh of relief, and then said: "Your Majesty, there are rumors that the ministers have imprisoned His Majesty, and they are about to raise troops to attack the palace. Not only are there people in Luoyang, but there are also people in other places who want to do it."
Liu Hong was startled, the Yellow Turban Rebellion that just passed was still vivid in his memory, and there must be no more rebellion at this time.
"Boom~" Liu Hong threw the wine glass in his hand to the ground, and said loudly, "Bold, who dares to spread rumors, let's see if I don't punish their nine clans."
Liu Hong was really angry.
This world belongs to him, how can he tolerate someone who wants to attack Luoyang, even the imperial palace.
"Your Majesty, the outside world is full of rumors, and please ask Your Majesty to go to court early to quell the rumors." Zhang Rang knelt down and cried.
"Father, get up quickly, get up quickly." Liu Hong pushed away the maid beside him and gave Zhang Rang a little help.
Zhang Rang was still crying, but he had already stood up.
"Okay, father, don't worry, tomorrow I will go to court early, and let this gang of rebellious officials and thieves have a look. In addition, I must kill these people." Liu Hong said angrily.
Zhang Rang and others hurriedly agreed.
"Father, pass on the decree immediately, and I will go to court tomorrow morning." Liu Hong said again.
Zhang Rang was crying, stood up and wiped away his tears and said: "Your Majesty, the ministers are loyal, and I really can't bear this grievance. When the time comes, I ask your majesty to be the master for the ministers."
Zhao Zhong and other ten permanent attendants also cried and said.
"Okay, okay, don't worry, Father, don't worry, dear friends, I will definitely make decisions for you." Liu Hong said sadly.
Zhang Rang took the opportunity to go down and deliver the decree.
Ten people left Liu Hong's palace, everyone's expressions changed, and they didn't look like they were wronged and crying just now.
"This group of aristocratic families can't see us having a good time. This time, we must take the opportunity to kill their prestige." Zhang Rang said with murderous eyes.
The rest of the people also echoed.
Several went back separately, but Liu Hong's verbal order soon spread, and he will go to court tomorrow.
"Haha, Zhang Rang's group of eunuchs must have been frightened this time." Yuan Kai let out a sigh of relief when he received the news.
It was Yuan Kai who secretly provoked it at this time, and he also knew that Zhang Rang and others would inevitably backlash against it.
Therefore, Yuan Kai had already prepared a few substitutes for the dead ghosts. Those people had no idea what would happen to them, but Yuan Wei knew it very well.
All parties have received the news, and some well-informed already know what's going on.
This is another collision between the aristocratic family and the eunuch party.
On this day, undercurrents surged throughout Luoyang.
The next morning morning, Liu Hong was still late as before.
When Liu Hong arrived, his face was gloomy, and he glanced down to see who was upset.
"Hmph, this big man is my big man, don't try to make trouble, anyone who dares to mess up, I will kill him." Liu Hong said angrily.
The crowd below shouted long live.
After being silent for a while, Liu Hong said, "I have something to play."
Everyone was silent again, everyone was waiting, and no one wanted to be the first bird.
Liu Hong looked down in disgust, then yawned, and was about to get up and leave.
At this moment, a spokesperson finally stood up.
"Your Majesty, I impeach Zhang Yu, the prefect of Kuaiji."
Some people come forward, and others are eager to try.
Liu Hong frowned, he didn't expect these people to impeach Zhang Yu.
Liu Hong didn't have a seizure, and waved him to speak.
"Qizou Your Majesty, Zhang Yu deceived His Majesty by using the name of magic medicine, which is really a crime of deceiving the emperor, please Your Majesty behead this person."
After the speaker finished speaking, he glanced at everyone, his face very proud.
This speaker has an advantage, that is, what to say,
Even false accusations do not need to be punished.
Someone started, and others followed suit.
"Your Majesty, there are no gods or magic medicines in the world. It's all because Zhang Yu deceived His Majesty."
"Your Majesty, Zhang Yu's heart can be punished, so he must Ling Chi."
"Your Majesty, the ministers will second the proposal."
"Your Majesty, this Zhang Yu is worse than Xu Fu in the Qin Dynasty."
"His Majesty..."
"Enough, enough." Liu Hong roared, stood up angrily from the dragon chair and said, "You guys, how dare you slander a loyal minister of a big man."
Liu Hong was very angry. He grabbed the crown on his head with his big hand and threw it on the ground, saying, "Zhang Yu is a traitor? You don't want to see who helped me destroy the yellow scarf. Let you go, can you?"
"You just don't want me to be happy. Zhang Yu is a traitor? He did things for me and didn't ask me for anything. He traveled east to find what he wanted, and he didn't ask me for a penny. What about you?"
Liu Hong was so angry that he asked repeatedly, which surprised the people below.
What kind of medicine did Zhang Yu give Liu Hong? Liu Hong defended him so much that he even dropped the crown on his head.
Liu Hong got angry and panted, then sat on the dragon chair and continued to sulk.
After a while, Liu Hong said: "Okay, what evidence do you have for slandering Zhang Yu so much? Show me the evidence, and I will kill Zhang Yu myself."
"Your Majesty, the theory of the magic medicine is really unbelievable. The impeachment of the official is not unreasonable. It is better to ask Zhang Yu to prove it, or to find the magic medicine within the specified time, otherwise he will be beheaded for the crime of deceiving the emperor. " At this time Yuan Wei stood up and said.
As soon as Yuan Kai said, many other officials dared to stand up and echoed.
Liu Hong was very angry when he saw that the officials below were all like this, but he didn't dare to say anything.
"Your Majesty, I received news yesterday that Zhang Yu already has clues to the magic medicine, and he will definitely find the clues to the magic medicine in three months." Zhang Rang was afraid that Liu Hong would compromise, so he stood up and said.
When Liu Hong heard it, he believed it to be true. He had been looking forward to Zhang Yu's delivery of the magic medicine.
"Haha, listen, listen, I said that Zhang Aiqing is a loyal minister, and when he delivers the magic medicine, I will definitely reward you a lot." Liu Hong said very relieved.
Yuan Kai frowned. He had been doing this for so long to force Liu Hong to attack Zhang Yu. Now Zhang Rang gave a vague answer, and if he was not good, he would be fooled.
Because what Zhang Rang said in three months was just a clue to the magic medicine, not the magic medicine.
"Your Majesty, if Zhang Yu can prove the existence of the magic medicine in three months' time, he should naturally be rewarded, but if he can't prove it, I implore His Majesty to kill Zhang Yu." Yuan Kai said again.
Liu Hong was very upset, but there was nothing he could do. The people under him were clearly united. If he kept defending Zhang Yu, many troubles would arise.
"Okay, then it's limited to three months." Liu Hong trusted Zhang Rang and Zhang Yu at the same time, so he agreed without hesitation.
