The Rebellious Officials and Traitors of the Late Han Dynasty

Chapter 19 King Hongnong of Yongan Palace

Although Yong'an Palace is the East Palace, Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty did not appoint a prince, and it has been abandoned for many years. It was only recently that Liu Bian and his wife were imprisoned, and they gained some popularity.

Liu Bian was very thin. Standing under the dripping eaves, when he saw Qin Shou and Zhang Liao, there was still a hint of fear on his face, but there was no anger.

In fact, he was not much younger than Qin Shou. The act of abolishing Li seemed to have made him mature a lot. He stood there quietly, watching Qin Shou's arrival.

"General, are you here to kill me?" Liu Bian's voice was calm.

"King Hongnong is joking. Without His Majesty's will or the Prime Minister's handwriting, who would dare to neglect the king." Qin Shou shook his head.

After all, the young man in front of him is still his fake person. If he fails, he will be used in the future.

He waved his hand, and the soldiers behind him brought some food.

"Your Majesty, from today onwards, the future will be responsible for your food."

The food box was opened in front of Liu Bian, revealing the delicious food inside.

"Cuixianglou's mutton?" Liu Bian smelled the aroma inside, with a hint of joy on his pale face.

"A friend of the late general told me that the king's favorite is the mutton from Cuixianglou, so today the late general asked someone to buy some for the king to enjoy." Qin Shou looked at Liu Bian with a smile, and felt a twinge of joy in his heart. mercy.

But soon, this compassion was driven away completely. In troubled times, the most unworthy thing is such compassion.

"Friend? Thank you for that friend."

When Liu Bian thought of this, he grabbed the food box and prepared to leave. Then he seemed to have thought of something, turned around and looked at Qin Shou and said:
"Can I enjoy it with the princess?"

"Of course you can. King Hongnong, please." Qin Shou nodded and allowed the other party to take the food box away.

"It's a pity that a generation of emperors ended up like this." Zhang Liao behind him said regretfully: "To this day, I still miss the princess, but she is a kind person."

Qin Shou didn't speak. He didn't think highly of Liu Bian. He just mentioned the mutton at Cuixianglou, which meant that there was a friend outside who was thinking about him, but King Hongnong didn't show any sign of it at all.

"Will he die?" Zhang Liao suddenly asked again.

Qin Shou glanced at Zhang Liao and said quietly: "Wen Yuan, you have seen several deposed emperors survive. Sometimes, only when he dies can everything be over."

"Hey! It's ridiculous for all the princes in the court." Zhang Liao shook his head, but did not say the next words.

Facing Dong Zhuo, no one of the ministers in the court dared to speak for Liu Bian. He allowed Liu Bian to live in seclusion in Yong'an Palace, and he might be killed by Dong Zhuo soon.

"Wenyuan, this is not something you and I can consider. For now, you and I should do our jobs well!" Qin Shou interrupted Zhang Liao and stationed at Yong'an Palace, seemingly doing nothing, but in fact, the level of danger is no less than Fighting with the enemy outside.

The Liu Bian in front of him was a disaster.

The heroes of Guandong will not let him go, because the heroes of Guandong need a flag, and there is no one more suitable for this flag than Liu Bian.

If Qin Shou were Yuan Wei, he would definitely find a way to rescue Liu Bian.

If this is the case, Qin Shou, who is responsible for guarding Yong'an Palace, will have a lot of trouble coming to his door.

But Dong Zhuo was staring at him from the side. If he made the slightest move, he would be discovered by the other party. When the time comes, he would die speechless.

"Wen Yuan, I'm afraid we are in trouble. The party members in the court are dissatisfied with the Prime Minister. I heard that Cao Cao has already sent a message to Chenliu and is preparing to denounce the Prime Minister in the name of King Hongnong." Qin Shou whispered. said.

Zhang Liao's expression suddenly changed after hearing this, and he instantly understood the reason. "Master Captain, what should we do?" Zhang Liao asked nervously.

"People have to lower their heads when they are under the eaves. Do you think a thousand of us can rush out of Luoyang City?" Qin Shou said quietly.

Zhang Liao shook his head, not to mention these thousand people, even ten thousand people would not be able to succeed. Making trouble at this time is almost a certain death situation.

"So, no matter who comes to you, you can't agree." Qin Shou warned.

Zhang Liao is the general he likes. Both his ability to train troops and his ability to command large armies in combat are very good. He does not want to have to fight against the opponent later.

"General, big man, is there still hope?" Zhang Liao suddenly asked in a low voice.

"Wenyuan, don't you already have the answer?"

Qin Shou looked at the other party's appearance and sighed slightly. He knew what Zhang Liao meant, but he could not give Zhang Liao hope. The big man had no hope.

When the imperial power is controlled by the ministers, the dynasty will be destroyed.

The only thing you can do at this time is either to find a wise master to surrender to, or to become a wise master yourself.

The former is like Zhang Liao, and the latter is like himself.

"What are you going to do, general?" Zhang Liao suddenly asked.

"Prince and General Xiang Ning is so kind! Now that the world is in chaos, doesn't Wen Yuan want to start a career?" Qin Shou suddenly asked: "The general has good martial arts, is proficient in military tactics, and has the appearance of a famous general. Don't you still want to Can you live your whole life in a state of confusion?"

After Zhang Liao heard this, he looked at Qin Shou with a complex expression. Of course he heard what Qin Shou meant, but he didn't want to make a decision now. The king chooses his ministers, and the ministers choose their king.

Before it was determined whether Qin Shou was the master of the Ming Dynasty, it was impossible for Zhang Liao to take refuge.

Of course, as Qin Shou's subordinate, it is still possible to help him train his troops.

Qin Shou did not expect Zhang Liao to bow before him. For a famous general, this was an insult to him.

Grand Tutor Yuan Mansion.

Yuan Wei knocked on the table gently, and Wu Qiong stood in front of him.

"So, Qin Yilu personally bought delicious food from Cuixianglou and gave it to His Majesty?" Yuan Wei smiled after hearing this.

"Exactly. He thought he was doing it very secretly, but he didn't know that the owner of Cuixiang Tower was a friend of Xiaguan." Wu Qiong said proudly.

Yuan Wei did not expose the other party's lies. What kind of friends are not friends? How could an official be friends with a businessman? It was clearly Wu Qiong who had taken over in Cuixiang Tower. Otherwise, how could Cuixiang Tower be able to gain a firm foothold in the capital.

This kind of situation is very common in Luoyang. The Yuan family has a great business, so doesn't this kind of thing happen? Otherwise, how could it be possible to support so many people? How could he support his servants and make friends with people from all over with just a little salary?

"As long as he has compassion, it seems that he still has a bright mind."

Yuan Wei was very happy. With Qin Shou's presence, he thought some plans could be implemented.

"Teacher, are you ready to accept this person?" Wu Qiong asked.
