Three Kingdoms: The Yellow Turbans finally revolt

Chapter 315 The runaway Li Ru, the runaway yellow scarf.

Today is the end of the year, and tomorrow is the first month.

Even though the haze of failure still hangs over Yuan's mansion, there is no shortage of festive atmosphere for New Year's Eve.

In the past few days, Yuan Kai's mansion has been full of guests, and there is an endless stream. As the founder of Rudu and the supporter of Liu Bian, Yuan Kai's position in the court of Rudu is undoubtedly the number one.

Yuan Kai has been busy dealing with guests since the last day of the year, and on the last day of this year, he can finally celebrate with the children of the Yuan family.

In the imperial palace, Li Ru stepped out of the palace gate, looked up at the dim sky, and tightened his heavy crane cloak to resist the fierce cold wind.

Li Ru looked at the guard calmly, the latter looked normal, and didn't feel anything unusual about this official who often went in and out of the palace.

Li Ru led his horse back and headed straight for the west gate.

"Shangguan, you have to go out of the city today!" Chengmen Wei happened to recognize Li Ru, and greeted him enthusiastically.

Li Ru didn't reply, and went straight out of the city.

The hot face turned cold buttocks, Chengmen Lieutenant's original good mood suddenly lost more than half, looked at Li Ru's back and cursed secretly: "Go to the funeral!"

In the palace, the servants came to add charcoal to the queen mother as usual, and finished it carefully.

"Queen, Tan Tim is ready."

There was no movement inside, the servant raised his voice again and repeated loudly: "Queen Mother, Tan Tim is ready."

The servant glanced behind the beaded curtain, and could vaguely see that Jinhua's clothes were falling to the ground. He couldn't help being curious: Why is the Queen Mother lying on the ground?

Suddenly, the servant came up with a bad idea, maybe he would suffocate it with charcoal, so he bravely walked in.

Sure enough, the Empress Dowager He was lying motionless, and the servant broke out in a cold sweat. He obviously ventilated on time, why would the Empress Dowager...

As he spoke, he bravely walked around to the other side again, and when he saw the face of Empress Dowager He, the servant's hairs burst open immediately, and a chill permeated his whole body, just as he was about to scream, his tongue froze and he couldn't scream.

The servant took a few steps back in a panic, and came out from the curtain, until the bloodless face of the Empress Dowager He, those angry eyes, and the blood oozing from the corner of her mouth gradually disappeared before his eyes. Only then did I feel back to my soul.

"The queen mother was assassinated, the queen mother was assassinated!"

He ran and yelled.

Soon, the servants and guards in the palace were alarmed and rushed to the Queen Mother's bedroom.

Then, an explosive news spread from the palace——

The Queen Mother is dead!

Less than a moment later, another more explosive news appeared.

Emperor Han died!

The war horse let out hot snorts, and several bloodstains were drawn on its back. The rider wished he could bring the news to the Yuan Mansion in an instant.

In the clan hall, Yuan Kai was having a banquet with Yuan's children. Yuan Shu, who was still anxious about the Nanyang war, did not come back to reunite. Yuan Shao was still detained in Puyang, while Yuan Yi led the remnant soldiers and was watching Puyang.

When the cups were mixed, there was a sudden noise from outside the hall. It seemed that someone had broken in, and Yuan's servants were blocking it. Before everyone could figure out what was going on, they heard "Your Majesty is dead! The Queen Mother is dead!"

"Your Majesty is dead! The Empress Dowager is dead!"

Although it was mixed with noise, the people in the hall still heard these two sentences clearly.

Yuan Kai stood up suddenly, the wine glass in his hand slipped down, and for a moment, he couldn't believe what he heard.

He glanced at Yuan Ji, as if confirming.

"Call someone in!" Yuan Ji ordered immediately.

The people outside the door almost crawled in, rolling and shouting, the words were full of horror and panic: "Your Majesty is dead! The Empress Dowager is dead!"

Yuan Kui recognized the person who came, it was the eyeliner he had planted in the palace, these two pieces of information directly made him freeze in place, his mind in a daze.

Yuan Ji looked at Yuan Wei, only to see that Yuan Wei's complexion turned blue with the naked eye, and then, a mouthful of blood spurted out, and Yuan Wei leaned back in response.

Yuan Ji's eyes were quick and his hands were quick, he quickly supported him.

"Uncle! Uncle!"

Several people hurried forward to call.

"Father! Father!" Yuan Kai's son Yuan Yida called anxiously.

"Please call for a doctor!" Yuan Ji hurriedly ordered.

The sudden change made Yuan Ji flustered for a while, he said to himself to calm down a few times, and then thought of his younger brother Yuan Shao's aides, Feng Ji and Xin Pi, who were resourceful and resourceful, and they were in Ruyang right now, so he hurriedly ordered someone to summon them.

Yuan Kai's complexion was pale, and he was paralyzed on the couch. After the doctor's examination, he said, "The Taifu is in a coma, which is caused by the sudden fire. But why is the Taifu poisoned?"

"Poisoned?" Yuan Ji was very puzzled, "Uncle is indeed feeling unwell recently, but how could he be poisoned?"

"The poison has entered the internal organs, and it should have been poisoned for several days."

Yuan Ji recalled the suspiciousness of this period of time, but he had no clue. During this period of time, he and his uncle met with too many guests. Could it be that someone used the visit to poison?
"Is it possible to cure this poison?"

The doctor shook his head, "Forgive me for being old and incompetent."

Yuan Ji glanced at Yuan Wei, still unwilling: "Can uncle still wake up?"

"The breath is fixed now, and I should be able to wake up soon, but the poison has entered the internal organs. I am afraid that the next time I wake up, it will be the last look. Young Master, be mentally prepared."

Yuan Ji was afraid for a while for no reason, what would he do with such a big business in Ruyang without his uncle!There is also the younger brother Yuan Shao, who is still being detained and cannot even be reunited.

You must redeem your younger brother as soon as possible to preside over the overall situation!

Yuan Ji made up his mind, and not long after, Feng Ji and the Xin brothers came to Yuan Mansion. After learning all this, Feng Ji was silent, while the Xin brothers were extremely angry.

"Heavenly murdered Bandit Dong, he must have bribed his close ministers to kill the king and empress! This matter should be announced to the world, so that Dong Bandit will be stigmatized to the world, and heaven and man will kill him together!" Xin Ping scolded.

Yuan Ji had no thoughts, only felt a splitting headache.

"The top priority is to rescue the envoy first, and then you have suffered such drastic changes, and you must be inseparable from Dong Zhuo. You should notify the highway immediately and ask him to take strict precautions."

Yuan Ji nodded, the staff is the staff, and they already have an idea.

At this time, the servant came running suddenly and said: "It's not good, Young Master Yida was also poisoned and fainted!"

When Yuan Ji heard it, his brain seemed to be stimulated, and there was a sharp pain, and he couldn't help but sneered: "Ah——"

"Master!"

……

Dim and groggy, Yuan Kai opened his eyes, and the face in front of him gradually became clear, it was his youngest son Zhong Da.

"Zhongda." Yuan Kai called out with a breathless air.

"Father! You're awake!"

"How is the palace?"

"All the officials are already in court, but... it's just that the second brother and brother Shi Ji were also poisoned."

Yuan Kai's turbid eyes suddenly became clear and sharp, and his voice suddenly raised: "How are they doing!"

Yuan Zhongda shook his head. The doctor has already said that the poison has entered the lungs, and there is no way to recover from it. It is time to prepare for the funeral.

Yuan Kai's heart felt depressed, he couldn't hold his breath, and spat out another mouthful of old blood, but this time, he didn't faint.

"Zhongda, quickly arrange food and grass, and ask Fengji to return to the original! Take charge of the overall situation!" Yuan Kai said with difficulty.

A trace of disappointment flashed in Yuan Zhongda's heart. It seemed that Yuan's foundation still had to be inherited by Yuan Chu, even if he had to pay a huge price.

50 shi of grain and grass is even enough for the rest of his life.

Yuan Kui seemed to see the hesitation in his son's eyes, and said: "Zhongda, you are neither the owner of the establishment nor the owner of the keeper of the business. Yuan's handed over to Benchu, you and him will be prosperous together, and you will not suffer."

"Follow the teachings of the father and adults, and the child will keep it in mind!"

Although Yuan Zhongda promised with all his mouth, he began to plan in his heart.

If Yuan Ji and his second brother had troubles, and Yuan Shao was imprisoned again, and Yuan Shu had no time to take care of it, wouldn't he be in charge of the Yuan family?
"Go and call Feng Ji." Yuan Kai said suddenly.

Yuan Zhongda froze immediately, and looked at Yuan Kai in fear. Although Yuan Kai's condition was extremely poor, his face was pale and blue, and his lips were already purple. It was obvious that the symptoms of poisoning had been revealed. Yuan Zhongda left angrily, even if he took a look at Yuan Kai, All feel guilty.

Father still can't trust him, and he also has evil intentions and no courage.

Soon, Feng Ji came to Yuan Kai, and was shocked to see Yuan Wei in such a miserable state.

"Meet the Taifu!"

"Yuan Tu!" Yuan Kui touched his head with a little difficulty, and called out: "Yuan Tu, I'm sorry to bother you about the original matter, and I hope you will save it as soon as possible!"

Although the voice was light, Feng Ji felt heavy expectations.

"Don't worry, Mr. Yuan, Ji Zidang will do his best!"

Yuan Kai sighed, the gleam in his eyes gradually faded away, he stared upwards without focusing, and sighed leisurely: "Alas... In the end, I still couldn't survive Dong Zhuo. .”

Yuan Kui turned his head suddenly, and said to Taifu Changshi Chen Qi: "The food for the seniors is handed over to Fengji!"

A look of horror flashed in Chen Qi's eyes, this is a big deal!
Cutting off the food and grass of Qingzhou Yellow Turban, and using it in exchange for Yuan Benchu's return, Qingzhou Yellow Turban will definitely riot completely and loot everywhere, just like what Zhang Jiao did back then, Yuan Gong is planning to muddy the water again.

Chen Qi understands that now that the emperor is gone, the Yuan family has been hit hard again, and the food and grass has been paid a huge amount, it is desperately needed to recuperate. At this time, releasing the captive "trapped beast" of Qingzhou Yellow Turban may make people busy for a while .

In this way, time was bought for Yuan Shi.

"Don't worry, Mr. Yuan, Chen Qi has already known."

Yuan Kai continued to stare blankly at the sky, frowning tightly, still in pain, but he endured it, and, as time went by, he felt more and more that this pain was getting weaker... getting weaker.

In the wind and snow, Li Ru rode his horse galloped out of the border of Runan. He looked back inexplicably, and then turned back to look in the direction of Luoyang.

The tenth day of the first lunar month.

Liu Qing, who was busy with various New Year festivals, heard the news from Cai Yan like a bolt from the blue.

Liu Bian was poisoned by traitors, and because of his young age, he was pursued as the young emperor. The Queen Mother He also ended up in the same end.

Cai Yan who finished reading the news was stunned.

Liu Qing also felt his scalp go numb for a moment, this is too big a hand, who did it?

From a unique perspective, Liu Qing thought that this person was probably Li Ru.

Because he was close enough to the Empress Dowager and Liu Bian, he was also able to get in touch with the Yuan family.

Liu Qing immediately convened a team of staff to discuss.

Undoubtedly, when Xun Yu Guo Jia, Ju Shou Xi Zhicai and others heard about this, their surprise was revealed, and Guo Jia even said bluntly——

"The pattern of the world has changed drastically!"

"Could Dong Zhuo do this?" Xi Zhicai asked.

"Nine times out of ten, Wu Fu assassinated Dong first, Zhang Wen was killed, and Dong Zhuo turned his anger on Yuan Kai, which is reasonable." Guo Jia replied.

"Do you think this is a good thing or a bad thing for this king?"

Xun Yu took over the words and said, "My lord, the Yuan family will definitely be depressed after suffering such a catastrophe. There are very few people in the world who can compete with Dong Zhuo. It is not a good thing for Dong Zhuo's family to be dominant."

Liu Qing also agrees with this statement. Before he has enough strength, Liu Qing adopts a balanced strategy, which not only makes Dong Zhuo and Yuan Shi stalemate and consumes each other, but waits for him to master the crushing strength, and then sweeps across the Central Plains. Time to calm the troubled times.

Before this, Dong Zhuo and the Yuan family maintained a balance of power, which was the best state. After all, Dong Zhuo’s death, the ten rooms and nine empty rooms in Guanzhong, the scene of purgatory on earth, Liu Qing didn’t want to see, this is Liu Qing’s keeping Yuan Shao reason.

However, I never thought that the two sides assassinated each other, but Dong Zhuo succeeded.

The balance of power is broken, and then, the follow-up seems to be visible.

The death of Dong Zhuo brought chaos in Guanzhong, and the death of Yuan Kai brought chaos in Guandong.

"The Ruyang court has already existed in name only, and the forces that were originally attached to or suppressed by the Yuan family will rise rapidly, and the Yuan family, with Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu's diabolical nature, will find it difficult to move forward together. Qingxu Yanyu is about to go into chaos. Do you think this king is involved?" Liu Qing asked.

The four staff members looked at each other and discussed in a low voice. Finally, Xun Yu said, "My lord, it is a good strategy to stand on the sidelines! In the matter of Youzhou, although Gongsun Zan has been defeated, the chaos is still unresolved."

Mentioning Youzhou gave Liu Qing a headache.

At the beginning, Guo Jia used a dark strategy and suggested that he should sit back and watch Gongsun Zan attack and destroy Liu Yu, and then take the opportunity to send troops to attack Gongsun Zan to complete the goal of completely recovering Youzhou, but Liu Qing rejected this proposal.

For this reason, Xun Yu and Guo Jia also praised Wang Rende.

Whether it is benevolence or not, Liu Qing doesn't know, what Liu Qing did was just capricious.

Because the king is happy.

Liu Qing naturally felt displeased with Liu Yu's pursuit of him. First, Liu Yu was a clan member of the Han family, and second, although Liu Yu was in charge of one side, he had no intention of competing. Liu Qing naturally had no malice towards him.

"As for Liu Yu, after I have met Gongsun Zan, I will personally go to Ji County to discuss with him. It is better for clansmen to avoid swords."

Gongsun Zan was already on his way to Yecheng.

"My lord, the Yuan family has suffered such a catastrophe. Yuan Shao can no longer keep him, because he will be returned." Ju Shou said.

"This king also means the same thing, but what if there are still 50 stones of grain and grass!"

How can a cooked duck fly!

At this time, Ban Ming suddenly entered the room to report: "My lord, the envoy of the Yuan family is asking to see you every time."

"Oh? Could it be that the delivery of food is here! Please wait in the living room for a while, the king will arrive later." Liu Qing ordered, Ban Ming left, and Liu Qing said to the crowd: "Everyone thinks, what is the so-called coming here on a regular basis? ?”

"Of course I came here for Yuan Shao," Guo Jia said.

"Feng Ji is a famous scholar in Nanyang, is there anyone among you who has acquaintances with him?"

Xun Yu smiled, the lord wanted to poach the corner again, and replied, "My lord, Fengji and I know each other."

"Then Wen Ruo will go to the meeting with me!"

Fengji, and some famous ones.

Liu Qing and Xun Yu were about to go out, but they saw Ban Ming running in again and almost ran into Liu Qing's arms.

"This subordinate is reckless, my lord forgive me!" Ban Ming hurriedly pleaded guilty.

"Why are you so panicked!"

Ban Ming looked back, and there was a man who looked like an orderly standing outside the door. His hair was disheveled, his eyes were red and swollen, and his lips were purple and cracked. He was obviously very cold from the day and night driving.

Seeing Ban Ming's instructions, he hurriedly stepped forward and knelt down, and reported on the Internet: "My lord, the Yellow Turbans in Qingzhou suddenly rioted, burned, killed and looted everywhere, many counties have fallen, Beihai has fallen, and Kong Rong is dead , Pingyuan Prime Minister Liu Bei was defeated and retreated to Le'an."

Liu Qing paused, as if he had figured out the causal relationship between the two incidents.

Yuan Kai died, so the Qingzhou Yellow Turban went berserk?
