Back to the Three Kingdoms to be the Lord

As soon as Zheng Yu left the Grand Master's Mansion, Li Ru hurried back to his study to draft a letter.

After a while, he drafted a letter, called his subordinates, and said solemnly: "You can take more people to Luoyang, and take five hundred horses from the defense camp of the Grand Master's Mansion. Be sure to hand this letter to the Grand Master in person, Chang'an The situation is treacherous. Ever since Zheng Yu came to Chang'an, he has been making troubles, and he has been going in and out of the palace to secretly do business with Emperor Xian and the concubine. We have to be on our guard. How to deal with Zheng Yu, I ask the grand master to decide! Confucianism My opinion is that even if Zheng Yu is not killed, his actions in Chang'an City must be restricted."

The subordinate took the letter and turned around to leave, but Li Ru suddenly remembered something and stopped him, "You tell the grand master, if the frontline war situation eases, please return to Chang'an to take charge of the matter quickly, otherwise, the subordinates are really worried that there will be troubles " Then he waved his hand and said, "Go ahead, be careful on the road, just tell the Grand Master verbally what you just said."

After his subordinates left, Li Ru sighed and said to himself, "Why did Zheng Yu, the scourge, come to Chang'an? The future situation is really unpredictable, but the grand master was entangled by the Kwantung princes on the front line. If you go down, it must be bad luck." After finishing speaking, he shut himself in the study room, sat on a chair and meditated alone.

The loyal and treacherous ministers that Zheng Yu casually mentioned just now still shocked him.My heart said, if the king is successful and the bandit is defeated, if the grand master is defeated, the name of treacherous minister will probably not be able to escape.Thinking of Dong Taishi's treasonous things, most of them were done by him, Li Ru, or planned by him, or executed by him himself.Therefore, thinking of that bad ending, Li Ru felt icy cold in his heart.

Finally, he stood up and sighed: "There is no turning back, Confucianism has no turning back, so I can only follow the grand master all the way!" When he said this, he was thinking in his mind whether it was necessary to act preemptively against Zheng Yu .

Because when Dong Zhuo went to Luoyang, he left 2000 Xiliang soldiers in Chang'an City, and Lu Bu still had [-] cavalry outside the city, so his strength was still sufficient, and Zheng Yu only had [-] troops. An ant may shake a tree.Therefore, he is not too worried.What he was worried about was the close relationship between Zheng Yu and Emperor Xian. Could it be Liu Yu's claim?This has to be guarded against.

Although Dong Zhuo handed over the entire defense of Chang'an to Lu Bu, the general of Zhonglang, but left most of the military power to Li Ru, and asked him to control the palace, but Zheng Yu succeeded this time and drove out the inner palace guards. For one thing, he really couldn't explain to Dong Zhuo.

In his heart, he didn't want to be an enemy of Zheng Yu, after all, there was Liu Yu behind Zheng Yu.

Although Liu Yu had opinions on Dong Zhuo, he never publicly opposed Dong Zhuo. Moreover, Liu Yu did not participate in the crusade against Dong Zhuo by the allied forces of the Kwantung princes two years ago, nor did he make public anti-Dong remarks.Not long ago, Yuan Shao, Han Fu and others jointly elected Liu Yu as emperor, but Liu Yu sternly refuted it.Therefore, Dong Zhuo was very grateful to Liu Yu, saying that Liu Yu was very useful and must be reused, and planned to unify Qing, You, Ji, and the four prefectures under Liu Yu's control.

It is precisely because of this that Zheng Yu was able to be so happy in Chang'an, while Li Ru endured it again and again.Otherwise, Zheng Yu sent troops to Guanzhong, killed countless Xiliang troops, and formed the Cao Zhengliu alliance with Cao Cao to fight against Dong, etc., would be enough to make Zheng Yu lose his head a hundred times.

"To kill, or not to kill?" This made it extremely difficult for Li Ru to make a choice, and he always felt uneasy.

But if he took the initiative to kill Zheng Yu, he would offend Liu Yu completely. Wouldn't he be reviled by the world, and he would suffer crazy revenge from Liu Yu and Zheng Yu's subordinates, and Dong Zhuojun would face an unprecedented crisis.It can be said that Dong Zhuo's forces simply cannot withstand the revenge of Zheng Yu's subordinates and can continue to exist.

Li Ru said in a low voice: "It seems that I can only endure it. Everything else will be decided after the Grand Master returns to Chang'an."

He hesitated in this thought, but it caused extremely bad results. Otherwise, it would be really difficult for Zheng Yu to act first at this time, at least he would not be able to continue to launch a coup in Chang'an City, and the future outcome is difficult to predict.

But he said that Zheng Yu and Lu Bu had just arrived at the gate of the palace, and Liu Zheng's troops had not yet arrived, but Li Xiang and Li Tong were waiting for Zheng Yu.After they received Li Ru's order, although they felt weird in their hearts, after confirming that it was Li Ru's order, they resolutely carried out it, and then assembled troops, waiting at the door for Liu Zheng to lead his troops to take over the defense.

Seeing Zheng Yu and Lu Bu approaching, they hurried forward with a flattering look. "The two adults are welcome to come to supervise. The subordinates have assembled the troops and are waiting for Lord Liu Zheng to come to take over the defense." Lu Bu was noncommittal, as if the matter had nothing to do with him, while Zheng Yu waved his hand and said with a superior expression: "That's right, they are all soldiers of the Han Dynasty, and they should take care of the Han family and serve the country and the people."

The three of them chattered for a while, and saw Liu Zheng leading the Habayashi Cavalry over.

Li Tong hurriedly took charge of handing over the defense, and everything went smoothly. The brothers Li Xiang and Li Tong seemed to be well-behaved people. Their attitude was correct this time, and Zheng Yu also smiled and said a few good words.After moving the defense, Li Xiang and Li Tong immediately withdrew their troops to garrison in the barracks outside the palace, while Liu Zheng took control of the defense inside the palace.

Then, Zheng Yu went on and on, sending five hundred soldiers to join the guards of the palace, clearing out the servants under Dong Zhuo in the harem, and imprisoning the maids who fell to Dong Zhuo collectively. After cleaning up the harem, he was completely relieved. Come.

It took me a long time to get everything done.

It was getting late, Zheng Yu walked to the upper study room, Han Xiandi and the Empress Dowager greeted him at the door with smiles on their faces.Wang Hua saw Zheng Yu's heroic appearance, and thought that there was no more Dong Zhuo in the palace, his mood was agitated, he couldn't bear it any longer, and threw himself into his arms and wept in front of Emperor Xian and Zheng Yu's subordinates.

Zheng Yu thought to himself, this is the entrance of the palace, which is obviously an obstacle, so he stretched out his hand to pick up the crook of her leg, and carried her into the upper study. "Put it down, put it down, His Majesty is watching." Wang Hua said softly, but his hands hugged his neck tightly, Zheng Yuxin said, he was so bold before, but he was as cowardly as a mouse.

After putting her down, Wang Hua was still reluctant to leave his embrace, and his expression was extremely excited.

When Wang Hua left Zheng Yu's arms, Han Xiandi hurriedly said: "Uncle, thank you!" As soon as he finished speaking, he burst into tears. For him, the past two years were like entering eighteen levels of hell. , Days feel like years, and every day is spent in fear, but since Zheng Yu entered the palace, he feels that he has seen the sun again.

Zheng Yu waited for Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty to finish crying, then sighed and said: "Today is a day of great joy. From now on, this palace will be ours. Dong Zhuo's people have all been cleared away. Get some wine and let the maids prepare some good food. Let's drink." celebrate."

But Wang Hua said: "My lord, Dong Zhuo's [-] guards are still outside the imperial city. When will the coup start? Aijia is really looking forward to it."

"Soon, don't be in a hurry! Success or failure is related to the lives of many people. Of course, Li Ru will definitely report today's events to Dong Zhuo, but the distance between Chang'an and Luoyang is not short. It will take more than half a month to come and go. Enough for us to start."

At this time, Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty forced his tears back, and said seriously: "Uncle, Xie'er is still young, and he can't be the emperor of the Han Dynasty. Uncle should be the emperor."

What he said made Zheng Yu and Wang Hua's eyes widen, but Wang Hua's eyes showed eagerness, but she was thinking in her heart, what Emperor Xian said was right, today's matter is more difficult than reaching the sky for them, but In Zheng Yu's hands, it turned the clouds and rains, and he took control of the palace smoothly and drove Dong Zhuo's guards out of the inner city. What a great thing this is.Obviously, Dong Zhuo was also afraid of Zheng Yu, that's why he was like this.

Therefore, she sincerely longed for Zheng Yu to be the emperor.

Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty was already afraid of being the emperor, knowing that the world's affairs were beyond his control as a child. Wouldn't it be better for Zheng Yu to be the emperor in the future and him to be a happy prince?The experience of more than two years has made him fully understand the truth of the law of the jungle.

Zheng Yu was taken aback for a moment, then said with a casual smile, "Don't talk childishly, Xie'er, you are the emperor of the Han Dynasty."

But Han Xiandi stood up and knelt down towards Zheng Yu, who was so frightened that Zheng Yu quickly hugged him, "Don't mess around, Xie'er is the emperor, kneeling only on the parents of heaven and earth, not on your knees."

Emperor Xian of the Han trembled and said: "But Xie'er is really a child. The experience of the past two years made Xie'er afraid. He was afraid of death. His mother and the first emperor were killed, and the Queen Mother Dong was also killed. Dong Zhuo, a butcher, messed up the harem. In his harem, if he wants to kill people, he will kill people, if he wants to mess up, he will mess up, the sky and the earth will collapse, and the world will be in chaos. This kind of situation is beyond Xie'er's control, please think for the people of the world, uncle, come and be the emperor."

The three of them have been entangled with the matter of becoming emperor for a while, but Zheng Yu's attitude is extremely firm, "Don't mention this matter from now on, we still have a few more hurdles to pass, once Xiaoyun becomes emperor, it is tantamount to usurping the imperial power of the Han Dynasty. Sometimes the world will be in chaos, and if so, it will endanger the people."

Seeing Zheng Yu's serious expression, Emperor Xian didn't insist anymore, but begged Zheng Yu to help him.

"Don't worry, since I became His Majesty's uncle, I will help you of course." Zheng Yu said seriously.

But then, Emperor Xian said sensiblely: "Uncle, go and accompany Auntie."

When Wang Hua heard Emperor Xian's childish public speaking about this matter, he couldn't help but blushed, but he didn't refute. Instead, he looked straight at Zheng Yu with longing in his eyes.Zheng Yu thought to himself, now he is in the mood to do such a thing, but Emperor Xian pushed him and said: "Uncle and aunt, you go to the side."

Zheng Yu was led by Wang Hua to the secret room not far away, and the two of them did a lot of work here.Not only was Zheng Yu not in the mood, but he also had no time, so he had to sit on the edge of the bed without even taking off his coat, and did it standing up for a while.After finishing the work, he said to Wang Hua: "The timing is not right today, let's have a good time another day."

Wang Hua tidied up her clothes, and said coquettishly, "I understand it, and I'm not an ignorant person, but today is a special day, and I want to remember it for the rest of my life, and I will remember it even more after that."

Zheng Yu told Wang Hua to sleep in Weiyang Palace today, and not to go anywhere. Together with Emperor Xian, he made key protection for Weiyang Palace. He was worried that there would be many dangers in the palace. Don't go out with Wang Hua, just stay in the study.

After explaining, he rushed to Liu Zheng's office and explained the defense of the palace.

"You are responsible for guarding the palace and protecting the safety of the emperor and the concubine. If there is an emergency, you must take the emperor and the concubine out of the palace to ensure their safety. Therefore, the task given to you is not to protect the safety of the palace, but to Protect the safety of the emperor and the concubine." Zheng Yu ordered earnestly.

"Yes, the subordinates must guarantee to complete the task."

"Liu Zheng, because of your father, we are like brothers. You must also ensure your own safety and don't set foot in dangerous places. You are the only seedling left in the Liu family. Let's drink some other day and find a wife as soon as possible." , marry a wife and have children, and carry on the family line of the Liu family."

Zheng Yu explained to Liu Zheng, the head of the palace, some precautions, and then rode an oolong horse, left the palace under the guard of Lei Bao and others, and galloped in the direction of the general's mansion.
