The last three kingdoms

Chapter 1349

The news of Liu Yin's return to Luoyang quickly spread to the Luoyang Palace. Even Liu Chen didn't seem to have thought that Liu Yin would come back so quickly. He gave Dong Hong a hard look and said: " I said earlier that King Yong is my brother, who is as close as brother and brother, how could he have two hearts? You are treating the heart of a gentleman with the heart of a villain, how will you explain when King Yong comes back?"

In fact, Dong Hong has been confused for a long time. He maliciously slandered Liu Yin, but he just heard some rumors and some speculations of his own. In his opinion, after Liu Yin put down Soochow this time, all Things are complicated, and it will take several months to clean up the aftermath. In addition, the soldiers and horses need to rest, and it is not easy to return to the division within half a year.

As soon as the imperial decree of recall arrived, as long as Liu Yin shirked a little, the hat of arbitrariness would be confirmed, but Dong Hong didn't expect that Liu Yin would really come back.

"Your Majesty, save me!" Dong Hong knelt down in front of Liu Chen, begging with snot and tears.He knew very well that when Liu Yin came back this time, he was the first one who couldn't be spared, and the only one who could save him was Liu Chen.

"If I knew this earlier, why bother? Get up, and I will intercede for you." Dong Hong was Liu Chen's playmate when he was young, and Liu Chen knew that he was a dude, but there was nothing he could do about it.

Liu Yin’s return to Beijing this time was to bring back Wu’s victory. Now that the world is united and the world is peaceful, Liu Yin’s achievements are unrivaled. Naturally, Liu Chen has to lead all the civil and military officials out of the city to welcome them. The people of Luoyang heard about it, and they also helped the old and the young. , lined the road to meet each other, scrambling to see the demeanor of King Yong.

After Liu Yin led his army to Hongchi, but when he received the news that His Majesty had come to greet him in person, he immediately abandoned his horse to complete the crown, and walked forward to pay homage to Liu Chen.

"The minister Liu Yin was ordered to seek rebellion, and was blessed by His Majesty. He returned in victory and returned the order to His Majesty."

Liu Chen chuckled, put his hands together and said, "King Yong has worked hard and made great achievements, so hurry up and forgive me."

Many courtiers congratulated Liu Yin one after another, and Liu Yin bowed in return one by one.

Liu Chen said: "This is not a place for narration. I have already hosted a banquet in the palace to clean up the dust for King Yong. Let's go back to the palace first."

But Liu Yin said: "Your Majesty, I have a lot of important things to deal with after the pacification of Jiangdong. I heard that Your Majesty called urgently. I dare not delay. I will return to my teacher immediately. May I ask your Majesty if there is any urgent matter?"

Liu Chen said with a little embarrassment: "There is nothing urgent, but when I heard about Wu Mie, I was secretly happy and wanted to see Yudi sooner, so I sent an order to summon him urgently."

"Your Majesty, forgive me for speaking bluntly. If no one is around His Majesty to slander and slander this matter, Your Majesty will not rush to issue this edict. Where is Dong Hong?" Liu Yin shouted in a deep voice.

Dong Hong stood among the ministers. Hearing Liu Yin's shout, his legs became weak, and he knelt down on the ground with a pale face. He begged for mercy, "King Yong forgives the crime."

Liu Yin stared at him coldly, and said in a deep voice: "As a close minister of the emperor, you don't think about loyalty and advice, but instead maliciously slander, sow dissension, slander and deceive the emperor, what crime should you say?"

Dong Hong kowtowed like pounding garlic: "King Yong spares my life, King Yong spares my life..."

Liu Chen said at this time: "Dong Hong listened to the rumors this time, and it was an unintentional mistake. I have already punished him with a year's salary and demoted him to be the servant of the Huangmen. Compete with him."

Liu Yindao: "Be close to virtuous ministers and stay away from villains. Before that, the Han Dynasty prospered, and being close to villains kept you away from virtuous officials. After that, the Han Dynasty fell. The words of Prime Minister Zhuge are still in your ears. How can your majesty forget it? Confused Sheng Ting, what is the difference from the sycophant Huang Hao, I request Your Majesty to kill Dong Hong to rectify the law of the country."

Dong Hong was scared out of his wits, and begged Liu Chen, "Your Majesty, save me!"

But he said beside him: "Although Dong Hong has done it before, please ask Yong Wang to see that he is the successor of Dong Xiang, and let it go."

Liu Yin said seriously: "Is it vain that the country's laws and regulations are regular? Although Dong Xiang has made contributions to the court, it does not mean that his descendants can do evil and bring disaster to the court. If Dong Hong is not eliminated now, how can he convince the public?"

Fu Qian, Jiang Bin, Huang Chong, Qian Hong, Wang Qi, Zhang Le, Zhao Zhuo and others were all present, and at this moment they all clasped their hands together and said: "Your Majesty, please kill Dong Hong to rectify the law of the country!"

Dozens of people pleaded for orders in unison, with a majestic momentum.

Liu Chen's face turned pale, and he looked at Liu Yin. Liu Yin's attitude was obviously very tough, and his eyes were unusually firm. Liu Chen knew Liu Yin's character, and he was sure about it. It was something that eight horses couldn't pull. When he came back, he sighed silently. It seems that his childhood is absolutely impossible to escape today.

Liu Chen could only say: "Dong Hong is bewitched by rumors and malicious slander, according to the law he should be beheaded, come here, put him down, and beheaded."

Dong Hong was paralyzed on the ground, completely stupefied, even the emperor couldn't protect himself, so why did he provoke Liu Yin, the evil star, for no reason? Now Dong Hong even regrets his bowels, but what's the use of regretting now , two imperial guards had already dragged him out, and the only thing waiting for him was his head.

Soon Dong Hong's head was brought up, Liu Chen was a little sad, and ordered to go down and bury him properly.

Seeing that Liu Chen was in a low mood, Liu Yin said: "Your Majesty, there is no redemption for such a treacherous minister. Why should your majesty worry about him? If you have not been with your majesty for a long time, it is also your negligence to appear such a treacherous minister. I would like to ask Your Majesty to advise you on the good way, to observe the elegant words, to be close to the worthy ministers and stay away from the villains, so as to live up to the wishes of the ancestors and emperors."

Liu Chen forced a smile, and said: "I deeply agree with King Yong's words, and it's also because I didn't notice it for a while, and listened to the words of my courtiers, so this happened. I should encourage myself."

Liu Yindao: "Your Majesty can think this way, it is the blessing of the Han family. Today is set, the world is peaceful, the long-cherished wish of the ancestors has been fulfilled, and the minister can retire after success, disarm and return to the field. I invite your majesty to be a minister." Retire and return to your hometown to take care of your life."

As soon as Liu Yin said a word, everyone was shocked, Liu Chen showed a look of horror, and lost his voice: "Why did King Yong say that?"

Liu Yin calmly said: "I have been fighting for many years, my mind is exhausted, I am overwhelmed with injuries, and I am overwhelmed. Fortunately, the world is peaceful and I have lived up to my holy hope. I can retire with peace of mind."

Liu Chen hurriedly said: "Today is the time to celebrate the achievements, let's not discuss this matter, we will discuss it later, let's discuss it later."

Everyone entered the city together, and inside the palace, the celebration banquet was already set up, but because of the unexpected incident outside the city, everyone felt a lingering haze in their hearts. The atmosphere of the celebration banquet was unusually dull.

Liu Yin didn't say anything about retiring during the banquet. After drinking a few cups, he got a little drunk and took the lead to leave. The celebration banquet ended in an awkward atmosphere.
