Huang Zhong picked up the halberd that was thrown away, and took Tai Shici's carved bow, and walked in front of the two with a smile.

"Gentlemen don't take away people's love, they just win the prize, and the right is a joke. I admire the martial arts of the two of you very much!"

The two looked at each other, each took the weapon, and then thanked Huang Zhong with shame on their faces.

"Brother Huang is really a gentleman."

Seeing this, Liu Zhang laughed, walked up to the three of them, took their hands and put them together at the same time.

"You are all my arms!"

The three of them also laughed, and the atmosphere was very harmonious.

Time passed day by day, Liu Zhang accompanied Cai Yan every day, and spent a gentle year happily.

Finally came the day of sacrifice. Liu Yan arranged for Liu Zhang to follow him, looking for an opportunity to meet Emperor Ling alone.

Ancient sacrificial offerings were very complicated, divided into more than 20 steps, and each step was divided into several small steps. It takes more than half a day to accumulate.

So many things cannot be done by the emperor, so there are many entourages.

Including ministers, guards, eunuchs, etc., there are hundreds of people. Very grand.

Liu Zhang wasn't interested in these things either, the people who came were all dignitaries, and he didn't know him. The sacrifice is very solemn, let alone running around, so as not to cause trouble. Just waited like this.

Three hours later, the ceremony finally came to an end. Lingdi Liu Hong was exhausted, and hurried to the hall where he had a temporary rest.

Liu Yan hurriedly followed, seeing no one around, he said to Liu Hong, "Your Majesty, I have something important to report."

"It's Liu Zongzheng, let's discuss it later in the room."

Liu Hong glanced at Liu Yan, a little dissatisfied. Zongzheng, what is there to worry about, why can't you wait? But still gave him this face.

"No." Liu Yan followed Liu Hong to the house. But not only these two entered the house, but also the great eunuch Zhang Rang. Liu Hong's favorite minister.

Liu Hong was leaning on the bed, Zhang Rang was serving tea, and Liu Yan stood aside respectfully, bowing his head and not speaking.

"Let father, you also go to rest for a while, I'm calling you for something."

Seeing that Liu Yan didn't speak, Liu Hong knew that he wanted to talk to him alone, so he sent Zhang Rang away first.

"No." Zhang Rang backed out slowly, and before leaving, he gave Liu Yan a deep look.

Seeing that there was no one else in the room, Liu Yan bowed and saluted.

"Your Majesty, Liu Zhang, the son of a humble official, has been determined to serve the country since he was a child. Four years ago, he went to Beihai alone to study under the great Confucian Zheng Xuan. Now that he has returned, he has something important to report to His Majesty in person."

Liu Hong became even more unhappy when he heard it, and thought why Liu Yan had so many things, so he could just say no. The tone was already very severe.

"Liu Zongzheng, don't you see that I'm tired? Tell me quickly if you have something to do! If you have nothing to do, get back quickly!"

Seeing that Liu Hong was angry, Liu Yan knelt down in fright and clasped his head with both hands.

"Your Majesty, if it is not a matter of the survival of the country, I dare not disturb Your Majesty!"

"What! The survival of the country? What nonsense are you talking about!"

Liu Hong became even angrier when he heard this, and stood up, pointed at Liu Yan and scolded him.

"Your Majesty, how dare I speak nonsense, please Your Majesty to meet my son!"

At this moment, Liu Yan was so frightened that he was sweating coldly, his forehead was pressed to the ground, and he didn't dare to look up at all.

"Okay, let's announce it. But I will put the ugly words first! If you can't say anything, you should think about the consequences yourself!"

Liu Hong saw that he was so persistent and worried that something might happen, so he agreed. But Liu Yan was also warned.

After Liu Zhang received the audience with Liu Hong, he trotted all the way, entered the house with his head bowed, walked up to Liu Hong, knelt down on his knees, and bowed down.

"Boy Liu Zhang, pay homage to my emperor, long live my emperor, long live, long live, long live."

"Oh?"

"Long live, long live, that's right, haha ​​Liu Zongzheng, I like your son very much, haha. Let's be flat."

Liu Zhang's little flattery immediately made Liu Hongxi smile, and he no longer blamed Liu Yan.

Liu Yan also breathed a sigh of relief, he was really afraid that Liu Hong would punish himself directly if he didn't see Liu Zhang.

Liu Zhang got up slowly, raised his head and looked at Liu Hong.

This Liu Hong has a fat head and big ears, with a greasy face, leaning on the bed, it can be said that he is as useless as he is, without the temperament of an emperor at all.

If it is placed in the 21st century, it will be a proper dick. But now, he is the Son of Heaven, the Son of Heaven who can decide the life and death of all people with one word.

"Caomin wishes His Majesty long live long live, and my Great Han Dynasty also long live long live."

Liu Zhang got up and bowed again. Liu Hong enjoyed the horse very much and forgot that Liu Zhang was busy, so he just laughed.

"But now there are people who want to destroy the centuries-old foundation of the Han Dynasty."

Liu Zhang couldn't care less about Liu Hong laughing, and directly asked the question.

"what?"

"Who is so bold!"

When Liu Hong heard this, he stopped laughing and became furious.

"Does Your Majesty know the Way of Peace?"

Liu Hong frowned and shook his head slightly. He only cares about enjoying himself every day, so he doesn't know the way of peace.

Liu Zhang said: "Taipingdao was founded by Zhang Jiao, who is very good at bewitching the people, and under the guise of treating them, he gave water to save them."

"First ask the sick person what is wrong, and let him sincerely repent."

"If it's just a minor illness, it will be cured without medical treatment. Drinking this talisman water will naturally cause nothing to happen."

"If it's a seriously ill person, it's useless to drink the talisman water, and he will die naturally. Zhang Jiao said that this person has not sincerely repented."

"After years of development, the number of believers has reached hundreds of thousands, covering all states and counties."

Liu Hong was slightly surprised, but he still didn't take it seriously. The Han Dynasty had a population of more than 50 million, so what could Qu Qu do with hundreds of thousands.

"More than that, Zhang Jiao has gathered in Jingzhou, and the people of Yangzhou are going to Jizhou to prepare for rebellion. Luoyang also has internal support!"

"what!"

"How do you know who should be inside?"

Liu Hong stood up immediately when he heard the word rebellion, his tone trembling. He can ignore the hundreds of thousands of followers. But he had to pay attention to the rebellion of hundreds of thousands of people. How many soldiers and horses does Luoyang have now?

"I came back from the North Sea, and I learned about it along the way."

Liu Zhang looked at the panic-stricken Liu Hong and said, "Nei Ying's name is Ma Yuanyi, and he is a disciple of Zhang Jiao."

Liu Hong looked at Liu Zhang with cold eyes, and said, "Why didn't you report earlier?"

Liu Zhang was also taken aback, knelt down and said in aggrieved way:

"Your Majesty, it's not that the grassroots did not report, but that many officials and even His Majesty's close attendants were involved."

Liu Hong nodded, let Liu Zhang get up, and then called Zhang Rang.

"Let father, quickly inform Luoyang Order, arrest Ma Yuanyi, and interrogate him strictly. Be sure to ask about the Taipingdao!"

Liu Hong thought for a while and added another sentence.

"You have to do this yourself, and you must not entrust others!"

"Nuo..." Seeing that Liu Hong was so nervous, Zhang Rang didn't dare to delay, so he hurried forward.

"Your Majesty, the grassroots have practiced martial arts since childhood, and they are dedicated to serving His Majesty. If there is an incident in the Taiping Dao, I am willing to fight against it!"

Seeing that the time was almost ripe, Liu Zhang recommended himself.

Liu Hong looked at Liu Zhang and nodded, but didn't agree, just smiled.

"Worthy of being a descendant of the great-grandfather, a great son of my Han family. Forgive me for the humble people, it's hard to make a fortune. You go back first. After you find out, you will be rewarded."

Liu Zhang thought that with such a great contribution, he would surely get his wish, but Liu Hong refused directly.

Seeing that Liu Zhang wanted to ask for orders, Liu Yan hurriedly stopped him, bid farewell to Emperor Ling, and led Liu Zhang out.
