Chapter 299 Qingqi Enters Beijing

The capital is confused?

Wang Qi once asserted that the capital would suffer a military disaster, but this happened after the emperor died. Therefore, the most likely situation is that Liu Hong was already seriously ill and precarious.

The eunuchs and the emperor were naturally the first to know the situation. In addition, the reason why they had the confidence to fight against the gentry was precisely because of Liu Hong's secret support.

Now that the emperor's condition is critical and precarious, Jian Shuo must be very anxious, and he may have moved to act first.

As for the gentry, the same is true.

It can almost be concluded that Luoyang, the most peaceful place in the Han Dynasty, has an undercurrent surging in the interior, and the real situation is much more dangerous than Xiliang, a place of the Fourth World War.

At this thought, Lu Li's heart that had been silent for a long time jumped again, and he asked tentatively, "Ding Gong arranged for brother to go?"

"That's right."

Zhang Liao nodded.

what about me?

Almost subconsciously, this thought came to Lu Li's mind.

But on second thought, it's unlikely.

After all, he will marry Ding Qinyu in one more month, and Luoyang is far away from Bingzhou, if there is nothing urgent, it will be difficult for him to leave.

"Who are the other candidates, Fengxian?"

"Although the situation in Xiliang is stable now, we have to guard against it. Fengxian must sit at the border. Therefore, my lord ordered Zilong to accompany him."

"Gone?"

Maybe because he sensed the disappointment on Lu Li's face, Zhang Liao couldn't help explaining, "The wedding is coming soon, you can stay in Bingzhou with peace of mind, I don't think it will be long before Ding Gong will be transferred to Luoyang, and it will be okay to go there again." Not too late."

In his opinion, this is definitely good news. After all, how can a feudal official in the border have the glory of being in charge of the center?

Anyway, with General Ke He Jin on the line, Ding Gong will enter Luoyang sooner or later.

"Lang Jun really wants to go to Luoyang?"

At this time, Ding Qinyu suddenly spoke.

Although he hasn't become Lu Li's pillow yet, Ding Qinyu has been getting tired of being with him recently and knows that he is often out of his mind.

Now, the news from Luoyang made Lu Li uncharacteristically care about him.

As a wife, how could she not notice it?

"That's right." Lu Li vaguely guessed something, and there was a trace of expectation in his heart.

"Then let's go." Ding Qinyu said with a strong smile: "The big man's ambition is everywhere. Besides, if you go to Luoyang to inquire about the situation, Grandpa will definitely feel at ease."

After finishing the words, she added: "Just don't forget the wedding date in May."

So sensible.

Did you hear me wrong?

Lu Li was both surprised and happy, but when he came back to his senses, he felt a little guilty——

This farewell, I'm afraid I will never see you again, I hope that after I leave, the omnipotent principal can arrange everything properly.

Zhang Liao, who was listening to the conversation between the two, frowned slightly. He was worried that the emperor would die before the two of them got married, but he let go after a little thought. After all, this kind of thing can only be arranged by God.

In addition, the first five ceremonies have already been performed, what else could happen, the big deal is to postpone the wedding until next year.

At this moment, Lu Li grasped Ding Qinyu's hand, and said solemnly, "Thank you, Mr. Xi, for your fulfillment."

As soon as these words came out, the reluctance in Ding Qinyu's heart was instantly diluted a lot.

Xijun, the wife of the princes was called Xijun in ancient times, and later it was a general name for wives.

Ever since the marriage certificates were exchanged, Lu Li has always treated each other with respect, which made her often wonder what she did wrong, but now because of her own words, the situation has changed.

"My husband, you just need to remember the wedding date. You must act cautiously. If the situation is not right, come back as soon as possible..."

Amid the sound of exhortations, the three came to the governor's mansion, and Ding Gong saw that his daughter agreed, and the son-in-law insisted on going to Luoyang.

There is no way but to compromise.

In addition, Ding originally wanted to arrange a farewell banquet, but the envoy secretly sent by the general urged him urgently, saying that the sooner he left, the better, otherwise troubles might arise.

Not only that, but Lu Li, Zhao Yun, and Zhang Liao were also required not to carry armor, reveal their identities, and enter Beijing secretly.

This gave Lu Li a clear understanding of Luoyang's situation: it was chaotic.

Now it is the most critical moment, the scholar-bureaucrats and eunuchs are well aware of this, the battle has become fierce, there are hidden arrows hidden in the shadows, and there are bloody fights.

The leaders, advisers, and generals of the two factions must have stood up and participated in this battle for power.

At this time, General He Jin secretly sent an envoy to Bingzhou to seek help from Duke Ding. Doesn't this mean that the scholars failed to suppress the eunuchs?

Otherwise, why did they sneak in secretly? It must be that Jian Shuo, Zhang Rang and others set up their eyes and ears around the capital, and always pay attention to the movements of the local princes, so as to avoid the third force entering the market and breaking the balance.

at the same time.

Luoyang, Cao Mansion.

A middle-aged man with a height of seven feet, narrow eyes and long beard was drinking in the courtyard.

Since last year, he, the fourth lieutenant of the Dianjun, has felt the pressure doubled.

There is no other reason for this, but it is because when he served as Luoyang Northern Captain in the past, he was young and vigorous. In order to establish his reputation, he killed Jian Shuo's uncle Jian Tu. As a result, Feng Shui turned and Jian Shuo became his immediate boss. Can this day be better?

If he hadn't come from a family of great eunuchs, his father was trusted by the emperor, and he had just been a lieutenant for a few years, he would have been tortured to death by Jian Shuo long ago——

Among the eight lieutenants in Xiyuan, the person Jian Shuo feared the most was not Yuan Shao, he was from a prominent background, but he had lived in the capital for a long time and had little experience in battle.

But Cao Cao was different, he had been on the battlefield seriously, and had assisted Huangfusong in defeating the Yellow Turban in Yingchuan.

It didn't matter before, after all, Bao Hong stood in front of him. This junior military academy lieutenant made great achievements in the war. He fought against the Liangzhou rebels and put down the Gepi Yellow Turban. He fought tough battles. It was hard not to be noticed.

In fact, last year when the Yellow Turban Bandit resurged, Jian Shuo made a shady trick. He asked the emperor to send Bao Hong to Gebei, Runan, to quell the chaos.

Nearly 500,000 rebels gathered in that place, and even the pillar of the country, Shi Huangfusong, did not dare to say that he could quickly pacify him, let alone Bao Hong, who was blessed by heaven not to die on the battlefield. The strict military law of the family, ranging from dismissal to beheading, is also not good.

Thanks to Bao Hong's rich experience, he fought steadily and seldom went out of the city to fight the Yellow Turban Bandits.

It stands to reason that after doing this kind of thing, Jian Shuo should calm down for a while, but when he went to court a few days ago, the emperor suddenly fainted, and his health deteriorated day by day, and the eunuch panicked instantly.

In order to protect himself, Jian Shuo found an excuse the day before yesterday and took Bao Hong into prison for embezzlement of military salary. After receiving the news, General He Jin hurried to rescue him.

As a result, news was received this morning that Bao Hong was tortured to death by the guards.

What are you kidding?

The general who comprehended the spirit of battle was beaten to death by a group of jailers!

He, Cao Cao, was the first to not believe it.
