The Horse of the Three Kingdoms Treads the World

() Time is like a river rushing, never going back, two years have passed between the stars, and the time has come to the sixth year of Dahan Zhongping.In the past two years, there were still disputes between the ruling and opposition parties of the Han Dynasty. The party of eunuchs in the court and the party of foreign relatives headed by He Jin were still fighting fiercely. Seniors, causing unrest in the world.

However, these rebels who emerge from time to time are obviously not as good as the Yellow Turban Rebellion a few years ago in terms of scale and destructive power.So although the imperial court was indeed troubled and exhausted because of this, the entire Han Dynasty still survived like this.

But just when everyone thought everything would continue like this, a sudden change caught everyone off guard.At the end of the first month of this year, today's emperor Liu Hong summoned all the ministers for a court meeting as usual, but at the gate of the court meeting, a huge goshawk suddenly flew straight in from the gate of the palace, circling in the palace.

Such a weird scene immediately frightened all the monarchs and ministers present, especially the emperor, who was so frightened that he fell ill for two months.And in just these two months, the eunuchs completely cut off internal and external ties by constantly serving the emperor, and then began to severely attack He Jin's party members above the court, causing many courtiers to lose their positions Dismissal, or even imprisonment.For a moment, the arrogance of the eunuch's party was so strong that even He Jin couldn't resist it.

However, as the emperor's condition improved little by little, coupled with the turmoil of the crowd, the eunuchs finally could not cover the sky with one hand again, and finally on the sixteenth day of March, the emperor looked at the court again.

In the early morning of March [-]th, Handu Luoyang.

With the melodious sound of bells and drums resounding through the sky, the palace gates that had been closed for several months finally opened one after another. The courtiers waiting outside the palace also arranged their appearance and clothes, and lined up according to their ranks and identities. The long line walked towards the palace with square steps.

At this time, if someone carefully observes the faces of these officials, they will find that they all look very excited, and their eyes are shining with firm light.Because they are going to do one thing today - ask the emperor to remove the villains around him - those eunuchs!

After learning that the emperor will visit the court today, these courtiers who are either attached to the general He Jin, or just cooperate with him, have reached a consensus that they must stop this threat to their future and even their future. The power of eunuchs in life is eradicated.Today's court meeting is bound to be a battle between dragons and tigers. This is the mental preparation that everyone has already prepared.

Soon, the officials arrived in the main hall, and the emperor Liu Hong walked slowly to his throne with the support of the two eunuchs Zhang Rang and Gao Wang.At this time, if the officials carefully looked at the appearance of the emperor, they would be shocked.Because this person is only 34 years old, it should be considered that the emperor is already quite old, especially his cloudy eyes, people will only see him as an old man, and his complexion is also pale, This is caused by excessive drinking for many years.

However, the officials obviously couldn't see the appearance of the emperor. They only saw the appearance of the emperor, and they all bowed down and bowed down: "I will see you, Your Majesty!" The tradition of the officials kneeling down, although today's big man has reached the end of his life, still emphasizes that the emperor and the scholar-bureaucrats rule the world together, and the status of the two sides is not too disparate.

"Zhuqing is flat!" Liu Hong waved his hand and said casually.Although his body is not as good as before, after so many years of being an emperor, he still has a lot of aura, and he has a feeling of admiration when he speaks.

The officials then got up, and then sat down on His Majesty in two classes, civil and military.It was not until after the Tang Dynasty that the Chinese nation's tradition of the monarch and his ministers sitting and discussing Taoism was broken, but now, the status of the monarch and his ministers is still quite close, and it is possible to sit and talk to the emperor when the court meeting is held.

"I have ignored matters for a long time, and I have to hand over all affairs to the gentlemen. You have really worked hard." Liu Hongxian said politely, and then said: "The morning court will be reopened today. If you have any important matters, you can do it." Play it."

Although they had already made preparations, the officials did not come up immediately to complain about the eunuch's misfortune, but just remained silent for a while.Just when Liu Hong thought that there would be no major events today, one of them stood up and said, "I have a statement. Today, I just got the news that Liu Yu from Youzhou sent a good news, and Zhang Chun, who was in trouble for the local The rebellion has been suppressed by him, and more than [-] rebels have been captured and killed, and I am hereby listed!" Said the minister, and handed over a victory report.

"Oh?" The emperor's face was filled with joy when he heard this. He had just reopened the morning court, and it was definitely a good sign to have such a happy event.This made him happy in his heart, so he naturally rewarded him generously: "Liu Yu is able to do his best for the country and has made great achievements in suppressing thieves. Do you think you should reward him like this?"

Even if an official stepped forward to make a suggestion, the atmosphere in the whole hall seemed very peaceful and harmonious.But some people have already seen He Jinzheng winking at an inconspicuous official, which made everyone tremble, knowing that a good show was about to begin.

Soon, the matter of rewarding Liu Yu was finalized, and just when the emperor was about to say something, an elderly courtier suddenly stood up, saluted respectfully, and said: "I wish Li Chang had his own performance. "

"Is there anything I know about Mrs. Li?" Liu Hong asked somewhat unexpectedly.This Tai Zhu Ling is not an official with real power, but only responsible for some sacrificial rituals, so there is really no need to play it on such an important occasion.

But what Li Chang said later surprised him: "What I want to play is an accident that happened in this hall two months ago. On that day, a goshawk entered the hall and couldn't go around. I was shocked." Your Majesty and the ministers. Afterwards, the ministers and staff members made various calculations about this, and finally came to the conclusion that this is a warning from the heavens to Your Majesty!"

Above the main hall, all the officials were stunned. Although many people knew that He Jin was going to attack the eunuch today, they didn't expect that he would use this method to attack the eunuch, actually adhering to God's will.This is indeed a good way to make the opponent unable to defend himself. I don't know how the emperor will react.

And Li Chang's words continued: "I have also found out the truth shown by the heavens. It is because there are villains entrenched beside His Majesty, and it is difficult for virtuous ministers to enter. That's why the heavens were angry and condemned an eagle to enter the palace. Your Majesty... Your Majesty, I beg your Majesty to plan for the world, for the sake of the ancestors and the country, and be far away from the villain and be close to the virtuous minister!"

Zhang Rang and Zhang Rang were still joking about whether Tai Zhu Ling wanted to show off too much, and actually said these ghostly words at such a solemn moment.But he didn't expect that the other party came to wait for him, which made the faces of the two of them change immediately, and Zhang Rang even sternly shouted: "Li Chang, what is your intention to confuse people with such evil words!"

But as soon as his words came out, several ministers also came out and said loudly: "I think Mrs. Li's words are very true. Everyone in the world knows that there are villains around Your Majesty. Now even the heavens have passed away." As a warning sign, please Your Majesty quickly put an end to the chaos, and thank the heavens by killing the villains around you."

"Your Majesty also has this memorial." Afterwards, several courtiers strode out and said loudly: "Since Your Majesty was frightened, eunuchs such as Zhang Rang and others have controlled the palace ban, making it difficult for ministers and others to enter the palace. People are terrified. This kind of behavior is really extremely daring, even Zhao Gao in the Qin Dynasty was no more than this. In order to prevent the chaos of the society, I ask your majesty to punish this beast and tell the world!"

"The minister has his own play! Zhang Rang and others..." All of a sudden, many officials got up from their seats at the same time and said at the same time. For a while, the crowd was raging, and they all pointed their finger at Zhang Rang, who was still trying to say something. Wait for the eunuch.

Liu Hong was also a little dazed by the sudden group of attacks, he looked at the courtiers who jumped out one by one and loudly reprimanded the eunuchs for harming the country, and didn't know what to say for a while.

And Zhang Rang and others, because they were completely unprepared, were also flustered by the sudden attack of the officials, so they had to kneel on the ground and said: "Your Majesty, the slaves have been wronged. The slaves have always been loyal to the master, and somehow they provoked Despite the dissatisfaction of the adults, please Your Majesty be the master for the slaves and maidservants!"

Seeing this, He Jin was overjoyed, and a smile appeared on his lips. If things went on like this, even if the emperor didn't order these eunuchs to be executed on the spot, I'm afraid it would be easy to suppress these people.To be on the safe side, he also got up, wanting to add another powerful weight to this matter.

But just when he stepped forward to say something, an eager voice suddenly sounded: "Your Majesty, be careful behind you!" Everyone followed the prestige and found that it was Li Chang who was the first to attack, and at this time he was full Face shouted to Liu Hong in surprise and anxiety.

"Huh?" The emperor Liu Hong, who was in a dilemma and surprised by the words, was startled when he heard the words, and immediately felt a foreign object on his back touching him, so he yelled, got up and dodged to the side, and only then did the officials see him A strange thing appeared behind him—a long blue snake as thick as an arm was entrenched on the throne. After being startled at this moment, it even raised its head high and spit out its blood-red Nobuko comes.

Liu Hong also saw the terrifying scene of the strange snake, and immediately felt chills in his body and dizziness in his head. After he yelled, he fell limp to the ground.

At this time, all the officials in the hall were in a mess. Who would have thought that snakes would appear in such a solemn place, and someone immediately shouted: "Where are the guards?"

"Prince Physician, pass on to the Physician!" Zhang Rang was the first to notice that Liu Hong's situation was not good, and yelled loudly!

This chaos solved the siege for Zhang Rang and others, and even the emperor fell, so today's court meeting can only end here...
