Soldiers come to the world

The prosperity of Yedu is like a blooming firework, which disappeared after a short period of brilliance. The fall of Xihe County detonated the shortage crisis of Duke Wei, and plunged Yedu into chaos. Nearly two months have passed since the outbreak of the current crisis, and the initial chaos has gradually subsided, and Yedu has entered a deeper crisis, which is the depression of all industries.

Even in the daytime, the streets of Yedu are deserted, few pedestrians are seen, almost all shops are closed, there is no business, and the strictest food rationing system is implemented, and people can barely survive. This kind of crisis hits, Not just the economy, but more people's hearts.

At night, there were no pedestrians on the street, and it was pitch black everywhere. Yedu was like a ghost city, where dangers lurk in the darkness, and crimes would happen at any time. Only when there were soldiers patrolling near the city gate and the vice prime minister's mansion, the law and order was a little better.

On the dark street, three figures were walking quickly, looking at the alleys on both sides uneasily, perhaps because of the three people, they did not encounter any danger, and quickly walked near the east gate.

The three of them walked into an alley, came to Jucai Tavern, and entered the tavern directly from the back door. The dim light shone on the face of the person in front. It was a pale and fat face. It was the eunuch Mi Ying. It was the Han army detective who met him near the palace gate and escorted him to Li Fu's place.

Mi Ying walked into the room and saw that Li Fu was writing a letter, he hurriedly bowed and smiled flatteringly, "Li Canjun, I'm here."

"Why are you leaving the palace now?" Li Fu was really annoyed, he had asked Mi Ying for an urgent matter five days ago, and had waited for him for five full days.

Mi Ying was frightened and said hastily: "I am also very anxious, but I have never been able to wait for the guard on duty that I am familiar with. It was very difficult to wait today, and it took ten taels of gold, and he only gave me an hour. I have to go back immediately. "

Crabs have crab ways, shrimp have shrimp ways, everyone has their own way of making money, and the guards guarding the Ye Palace are no exception, they hold the power to enter and leave the Ye Palace, if the palace people want to go out of the palace to do business, they have to spend money bribery.

Of course, the guards guarding Yedu are Cao Cao's confidantes. Most of them are not selfish, and they can't buy them with money, but there are also a very small number of guards who secretly collect money and release them. When working in the palace, they collect gold as bribes, usually five taels of gold for an hour, but now that the investigation is tight, it has risen to ten taels of gold for an hour.

In the past, Mi Ying came out through the token of the chef, but now the chef is not allowed to go out, and he can only use gold to buy the guards.

Li Fu has an important task, and he has no time to worry about such things. He responded to Mi: "Now is the time to use you. Can you enter Liu Xie's imperial study?"

Mi Yingxin smiled secretly, Liu Xie doesn't have any imperial study now, it's just a small study in his palace, he thought for a while and said: "Should be able to go in!"

"Well, you go into the Imperial Study Room, find Liu Xie's Panlong Jade Seal, steal it, and your mission is completed, then we will give you 500 taels of gold, and you can go back to your hometown!"

The Panlong Jade Seal is not a jade seal. The Jade Seal of the Chuan Kingdom is in the hands of Cao Cao. The Panlong Jade Seal is Liu Xie's personal seal. Of course, it has no power value, but it can prove Liu Xie himself.

Li Fu planned to make another copy of the clothes and belt edict written by Liu Xie, begging Liu Jing to send troops to conquer Cao Cao, which gave Liu Jing an excuse to send troops. There is no problem in making a fake clothes and belt edict. There are precedents. The key is to have a token that can prove Liu Xie himself. After much deliberation, Li Fu decided that the best would be the Panlong Jade Seal, which required Mi Ying to steal it.

Of course Mi Ying knew about the Panlong Jade Seal. He used to be in charge of it, but was later taken away by Liu Xie. It was indeed placed in Liu Xie's study, but Liu Xie's study was not easy to enter, so he knew he couldn't refuse, so he asked: " when do you needit?"

"You must give it to me before noon the day after tomorrow at the latest."

Mi Ying had no choice but to grit his teeth and say, "Okay! I'll give it a try."

Li Fu was overjoyed, he patted Mi Ying's shoulder heavily, looked at him solemnly and said: "This matter is of great importance, you must get it!"

Ye Palace covers an area of ​​[-] mu, most of which are government offices. The harem where Tian Liu Xie lives is not that big, only three buildings. The houses are also mostly vacant.

Currently, the bedroom where Liu Xie lives is called the Baifu Palace, and Liu Xie’s study is also in the Baifu Palace, next to his bedroom. The next night, most people in the palace fell asleep, and only a team of guards were in front of Liu Xie. Patrolling back and forth near the sleeping hall.

About one o'clock, a black shadow sneaked into Liu Xie's bedroom. It was the eunuch Mi Ying. He was very familiar with this place. The only difficulty was that there would be an eunuch on duty in front of the study. He wanted to climb in through the window. It's just that the window is about a foot above the ground, and he is fat, how can he climb in?

But tonight, it was as if God was looking after him. The eunuch on duty outside the study fell ill, and there was no one to replace him. Now it is not like before. Liu Xie has long been forgotten by people, and no one cares about such things.

Mi Ying was so excited that he sneaked to the front of the study at night. He hid behind a big pillar and observed for a while. There was no one around, it was very quiet, and he probably fell asleep. He tiptoed to the front of the study and gently opened the door. There was a creaking sound from the door, which was especially ear-piercing in the silent night, and Mi Ying's heart almost stopped beating in shock.

He stood motionless for a while, feeling no movement, and then entered the study in a flash. The study was filled with a faint fragrance. The copper incense burner in the corner was not extinguished, and wisps of blue smoke drifted out from the dense cracks. , There are two doors in the study, one door comes in from the outside, and the other small door leads to Tian Liu Xie's bedroom.

Mi Ying's heart was beating violently and he was extremely nervous. He was afraid of disturbing Liu Xie who was sleeping in the next room. In the past, he also stole a lot of property from the palace at night, but this was the first time he came to Liu Xie's imperial study to steal something. , especially the Panlong Jade Seal.

He is not the only eunuch who steals things in the palace, but everyone knows some taboos in their hearts. Some items cannot be stolen, and if they are stolen, it will cause big trouble. Can't touch it, but in order to complete the task today, Mi Ying has to go all out. After tonight, he will leave the palace tomorrow, and the rest of the matter has nothing to do with him.

Soon, Mi Ying's eyes adapted to the darkness in the study, and he could see everything in the study clearly. He was very familiar with the Panlong Jade Seal, which was a square seal the size of a fist, with a Panlong as its key, Usually placed on a bookshelf.

He slowly touched the bookshelf and searched up and down. Liu Xie's pen holder and trinkets were there, but there was no jade seal. Inside Liu Xie's sandalwood box.

Mi Ying quickly found the red sandalwood box in the corner, and the box was locked. He pulled out a bright dagger from his boots, and with a little force, 'Crack! With a bang, the little golden lock was picked off.

He immediately opened the box, and there were some frequently used things of Liu Xie in the box. Mi Ying saw the gold box containing the Panlong Jade Seal at a glance. bosom.

But at this moment, a roar suddenly erupted behind him: "What are you doing?"

Mi Ying was so frightened that he slumped on the ground. When he turned his head, he saw Tian Liu Xie holding a candle in his hand, staring at him viciously in front of the small door, with monstrous anger spitting out of his eyes. Liu Xie was just getting up at night, but he heard faintly Came 'Crack! With a sound, he held up a candle and came over to check, only to see Mi Ying squatting in front of his sandalwood box to hide something.

Liu Xie also heard a complaint from the eunuch, saying that Mi Ying had stolen a lot of property from the palace, but there was no evidence, so he was dubious, but he didn't expect that Mi Ying would dare to steal things in his study, and he stole things from the sandalwood box. There were all his beloved things inside, and the anger in his heart suddenly broke out.

"You bastard!"

Liu Xie rushed up like crazy, threw Mi Ying to the ground, beat her head and face, and yelled, "Kill you, you dog slave!"

Mi Ying was paralyzed by fright, unable to move, he covered his face with his hands and shouted, "Your Majesty, Your Majesty, listen to my explanation!"

"Someone! Somebody!"

How could Liu Xie listen to his explanation, and shouted at the guards, Mi Ying suddenly became anxious, and pushed Liu Xie away desperately, Liu Xie desperately suppressed him and yelled, Mi Ying's eyes were red, and he suddenly touched the side Without hesitation, he stabbed backhand with the dagger, only to hear Liu Xie scream, turned over and fell down, the dagger penetrated into his left chest, and blood gushed out like a fountain.

Mi Ying was stupefied with fright. Suddenly, there was a sharp cry from the side, and the noble concubine Cao Jie covered her face and yelled in fear. Mi Ying suddenly came to her senses. He bumped his head against the rushing guard, and the guard knocked him over with a punch, and several guards behind him knocked him to the ground, and a guard ran into the study, yelling in horror, "Go to the imperial doctor quickly! "...

Half an hour later, Cao Pi heard the news and rushed to Ye Palace. He rushed into the study and saw two imperial doctors sitting powerlessly aside, a white cloth covering Tian Liu Xie's whole body, and Cao Pi was also stunned.

At the beginning of February in the 24th year of Jian'an, Tian Liuxie died suddenly in the palace. Cao Cao ordered the whole country to mourn, all officials helped the spirit to funeral, and named Liu Xie's temple as Xiandi. Dun is the emperor.

When the news came to Chang'an, Liu Jing also ordered the people of the Han Kingdom to mourn for Tian and stay in court for three days, but Liu Jing did not accept the statement that Tian died suddenly, and publicly accused Tian of being murdered by Cao's father, and did not recognize the law established by Cao Cao. The new emperor, and issued a "Call to Cao Thieves" to the world.

On March [-]th, Liu Jing ordered the Han army to crusade against Cao Cao in Chang'an. Zhao Yun, the general of Zhenbei, led [-] troops out of Tongguan, and the governor of Jingbei led [-] troops to go to the city. curtain.
