Chapter 758 Why Did Your Majesty Kill Me?
According to the list, some party members who came from the Hongdu school, as well as party members who took the initiative to seek refuge from the local area, as well as party members within the eunuchs, were all within the scope of eradication.

There are not many of these people, and they widely exist in the Luoyang court and local government, and some local government even belong to them from top to bottom.

Originally, this would not have happened in Liu Bei's political blueprint, but due to historical factors, this situation can only exist for a few years.

Now, it's time for a correction.

According to the plan, it's the same. Luoyang should be dealt with first, and then after Liu Bei ascends the throne, the place will be settled. In the end, it will be eradicated completely, and the influence of eunuch politics will be wiped out.

This will become an important part of the "New Dynasty Elegant Administration" brought about by Liu Bei's new king after he ascended the throne.

Fortunately, although there are a lot of these people in Luoyang City, they are not considered very powerful. One counts as one, almost all of them are middle and low-level officials, and they do not have strong force. It's really not sure.

Even so, even an hour and a half was tense.

Several elite teams have several missions to perform, as if they are rushing to the field, they rush to the other side to continue arresting and killing people. They are so tired that they don't even have time to take a sip of water.

They kicked open the door of each other's house, rushed in, and killed these guys who hadn't fully woken up in the room, bed, study, and toilet. After confirming that there were no survivors, they went to the next workplace.

There is no way, although it is brutal and bloody, no one will say anything bad.

Dead eunuchs have no human rights, which is the political correctness recognized by people in this era.

Compared with Zhang Rang's straightforward and relatively pure operation method, Guo Hong is more civilized.

He doesn't kill people, he just disarms and arrests people. Of course, if someone resists, he will not give up using force.

Guo Hong personally led people to deal with Zheng Tai, because he is still a relatively important person. Liu Bei named him to live, and he had to personally judge him as the emperor, personally sentenced him to death, and deprived him of the Zheng family. Qualifications.

Liu Bei not only wanted to kill, but also punished his heart.

Zheng Tai obviously didn't have any preparations, and he didn't think that Liu Bei's flipping the table was unreasonable at all. Obviously, he didn't take Zheng Xuan's warning to heart at all, and he didn't think that Liu Bei would suddenly launch a surprise attack on him.

When Guo Hong brought the Zhongdu officials here, Zheng Tai hadn't gotten up yet, and there were only some servants who got up early to clean the house. The Zhongdu officials didn't make any announcements, so they rushed up and kicked open the gate, and then asked everyone to give up. Kneel down and surrender to resist, otherwise you will be killed without mercy.

The Zheng family was surprised at first, then terrified, yelling, some squatted down and hugged their heads, and some wanted to run away.

Guo Hong raised his hand crossbow and shot the people trying to escape to the ground, and the officials and apprentices around Zhongdu also raised their hand crossbows to shoot, killing five or six Zheng family members who were trying to escape, and the situation was brought under control.

Zhongdu officials continued to go deep and arrest people. When they reached the backyard, Zheng Tai, who had woken up, was in shock and didn't know what happened.

It wasn't until his eldest son, Zheng Jiang, ran into his room in a panic and told him that officials from Zhongdu had arrived and were arresting people, that his eyes widened and his mind went blank.

Before, they sent people everywhere to inquire about the news, but they didn't get any news. They didn't know if Liu Bei had taken any action, so his escape plan was repeatedly postponed.

As a result, the officials and apprentices in Zhongdu are now conducting sneak attacks in the early morning?
Liu Xuande, you don't talk about martial arts too much, do you? !
And that also means...

Did Liu Bei know that he was the one spreading the rumors?

And evidence?

"Let's go now, we have to go now!"

Zheng Tai stood up nervously, dressed hastily with his wife, and then the family of three was about to leave. When they left, they also handed over the saber in the house to Zheng Jiang, and let Zheng Jiang hold the knife to open the way.

If you do encounter obstacles.

Apart from the main entrance, Zheng Mansion also has a back door. They planned to escape through the back door and then hide until Luoyang City ended its guard before escaping.

But not long after they left the room, they were overtaken by Zhongdu officials. Zheng Jiang shouted to resist with a knife. The pursuing Zhongdu officials directly attacked with crossbow arrows. Three crossbow arrows hit Zheng Jiang. Jiang died on the spot.

When Zheng Tai and his wife saw their son's death, they were very sad and forgot to run away. They were caught by the officials of Zhongdu and brought Zheng Jiang's body to Guo Hong.

"Doctor Zheng, long time no see."

Guo Hong smiled and looked at the weeping Zheng Tai, and glanced at the dead Zheng Jiang, making a look of pity.

"A sword has no eyes, and there is nothing you can do if you hurt someone. Please don't be too sad, Dr. Zheng."

Upon hearing this, Zheng Tai stared at Guo Hong viciously.

"You Liu Bei's running dog! Did you come here to kill me on purpose?!"

"No, no, your majesty's order is not to kill you, but to catch you, and then judge you personally, and kill you with the law. It will not be that simple."

Guo Hong shook his head: "As for him, it was purely accidental injury."

Zheng Tai was taken aback when he heard that.

"Your Majesty wants to kill me? Why? Why does Your Majesty want to kill me? It is clearly Liu Bei who wants to kill me! Why do you say that His Majesty wants to kill me? You villain! You can kill me!"

"No, His Majesty wants to kill you."

Guo Hong smiled and said: "The Majesty I know is not the current emperor, but...the current general, don't you know? The empress dowager has issued an edict to change the emperor, and the Tianzi Association has decided Zen is located in the Great General, and the ceremony will be held today."

"????"

Zheng Tai immediately looked at Guo Hong with question marks all over his head, and the captured people in Zheng Tai's mansion also looked at Guo Hong in astonishment, forgetting that their lives were in danger.

The shock of this news can be seen.

"Zen position?"

"Yes, the Zen position."

Guo Hong smiled and said: "This is what the Empress Dowager meant. The Son of Heaven is young and cannot command state affairs, and cannot conquer the world. For the sake of the Han Dynasty, the Empress Dowager made the Son of Heaven take the initiative to sit in the position of General Liu Bei. The General has accepted it. Accept the throne of Zen today, ascend the throne and proclaim yourself emperor."

With that said, Guo Hong walked up to Zheng Tai and looked at Zheng Tai condescendingly.

"I was ordered to catch you, please go to watch the enthronement ceremony of the general, and then accept the trial."

"I……"

Zheng Tai was so shocked that he couldn't say anything for a while, and his brain crashed immediately.

But it doesn't matter, Guo Hong doesn't care about Zheng Tai's reaction, anyway, he has already been caught and can't turn the world around.

In addition to Zheng Tai, Jia Xi's house was also broken into by Zhongdu officials. More than a dozen servants and one member of the Jia clan died, and more than 20 other men, women, children, and children were all arrested.

Jia Xi himself hadn't even woken up when he was caught. He was woken up by a sharp steel knife across his neck on the bed, and then fainted from the fright, and he woke up after a long while.

As a result, I was tied up into a zongzi, crying and shouting with my tribe, at a loss.

In addition to Jia Xi, the Kong family was also broken into the mansion by Zhongdu officials and apprentices. More than 40 people, men, women, old and children were all arrested, and seven or eight family members were killed.

But when they learned that Liu Bei was about to become emperor, their brains crashed without exception.

More than 40 families of the Conservative Family Alliance of the Ancient Literature School headed by Zheng, Jia, and Kong were wiped out by the Zhongdu officials in the early morning. All the officials were wiped out.

Those who are officials in the Sangong Mansion, those who are officials in the Jiuqing Mansion, those who work in the palace, those who work in the Shangshutai, and those who work in other court departments, all the officials and officials who are involved with them are all on the list , was caught again, clean, and no one escaped.

In addition to the officials, there are also a larger number of disciples and disciples, and some of them are specially circled to focus on arresting, that is, Zheng Tai's disciples, those who spread rumors.

They were taken care of by Liu Bei, so it was Xu Chu who arrested them.

Xu Chu led the Tiger Guards to carry out the task of arresting them. Anyone who resisted was directly killed, and those who wanted to escape were directly stunned and arrested. Some even rushed into the Taixue dormitory to arrest them. People are dumbfounded.

The one who resisted most fiercely was the hussar general Dong Zhong.

It was Dian Wei and a part of the Tiger Guards who carried out the task of arresting Dong Zhong. Because Dong Zhong was more or less subordinate to the army, Liu Bei specially asked the Tiger Guards to carry out this task and capture Dong Zhong.

Originally, Liu Bei didn't want to do anything wrong, thinking that if Dong Zhong devoted himself to enjoying happiness, he would fulfill Dong Zhong. Anyway, according to Dong Zhong's method of eating, drinking and having fun, his body was almost hollowed out, and he didn't have a few years to live. He just went there, and he was right for Mrs. Dong.

In the end, Liu Bei discovered that this guy seemed to be playing a very novel game called bearing the burden of humiliation, or pretending to be a pig and eating a tiger.

Those who investigated the rumor incident discovered that after the first wave of rumors spread, some people followed closely behind and initiated the second wave of rumors. The specific area was the eastern part of Luoyang City. After further investigation by Liu Hui, the suspect was locked in Dong Zhong. Hussar General's Mansion.

Later, Liu Bei heard from Liu Yu that Dong Zhong entered the palace to give Liu Bei eye drops.

Thieves don't die.

Can this be tolerated?
There is a way to heaven, you don’t go, there is no way to hell, you break in, people are pretending to be pigs and eating tigers, that’s really capable, what about you?You are a real pig, you still want to eat tigers like this?

What else is there to say when things have come to this point?

Dian Wei took Liu Bei's order and led [-] fully armed elite tiger guards to launch a surprise attack on the Hussar General's Mansion.

Of course, Dong Chong's mansion had a certain amount of guards, which were his legal standard guards as a Hussar General, but these guards were purely a takeaway to raise the level of difficulty against the Tiger Guards.

Dian Wei led the tiger guards in a quick charge, holding the short iron halberd on his back with both hands.

When approaching the mansion of General Hussars, Dian Wei took aim at his target and threw short halberds four times in a row, killing all four guards at the gate of the mansion.

Then the Tiger Guards swarmed up, rushed into the Hussar General's mansion, and started killing.

The guards in Dong Zhong's mansion were not simple ones, they were also elites carefully selected from the military force he could control, or they were treated better than others.

So facing the Tiger Guards' surprise attack, they panicked at first, but soon fought with the Tiger Guards and put up some resistance.

When the tiger guards attacked, Dong Zhong hadn't woken up yet. He didn't have the habit of getting up early. He was sleeping soundly with a maid in his arms. He was in a deep sleep. The sound of killing didn't wake him up until his son panicked. Confused, he broke into his room and woke him up.

"Someone has come in! The guards in the house are resisting, father! Let's go!"

Before Dong Zhong could react, he was dragged away by his son. When the sound of shouting and killing reached Dong Zhong's ears and woke him up, he immediately panicked.

"What's going on? How could someone kill me? Who would dare? Could it be..."

"Father, now is not the time to talk about this! Go!"

"Liu Bei! It must be Liu Bei! Damn Liu Bei! How dare you blatantly attack and kill me!"

Dong Zhong was angry and frightened at the same time, he couldn't help speeding up his pace, but because he was obese and his body was hollowed out by wine and sex, he couldn't run a few steps before slowing down out of breath.

"Father! Let's go! If you don't go, then..."

Before the son finished speaking, an iron halberd flew over with a whoosh and pierced directly into his chest. He let out a cry of pain and fell to the ground dying of breath.

Dong Zhong watched his son die in front of him in a daze. He didn't cry, but his body kept shaking, and then he urinated.

Dian Wei approached him from behind, and within a few steps, he saw that the guy's crotch started to drip.

"Did you pee? How dare you go against the general with this little courage?"

Dian Wei taunted Dong Zhong with contempt, then waved his hand, and the soldiers of the Tiger Guards stepped forward and tied up the trembling Dong Zhong.

At this moment, all the guards in his house had been killed by the Tiger Guards, and all the resisters were also executed. The remaining men, women, old and children were all arrested, and none of them escaped. Dong Zhong was the last one.

Dian Wei sent someone back to report the letter to Liu Bei, and then escorted Dong Zhong and his family to the palace slowly.

The entire cleansing operation was not perfect, and there must be some problems in some small details, so the operation team also suffered some small losses.

But in any case, this group of opposition groups was wiped out by Liu Bei, and after an hour and a half of action, the sky had just dawned.

All kinds of people, this wave has arrested more than 3000 people in Luoyang City, and the number of people killed is not too many, there are also 500 people. Those who did not deal with Liu Bei in Luoyang City were all arrested. The military forces in Yangcheng that did not belong to Liu Bei have completely disappeared since then.

Dong Zhong's army was gone.

The Shangjun that Jian Shuo belongs to has also become an unacceptable existence. After this time of guarding, it will be disbanded and will no longer become an armed force under the command of others.

In this way, no one in Luoyang City can threaten Liu Bei's life anymore.

When he heard the news of the success of the operation, Liu Bei was trying on the emperor's and empress's dresses with Han Ning in the palace.
