Back to the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty

Chapter 406 Emperor's Secret Edict
"Recently, witches from the Western Regions have often appeared in Li Jue's mansion! It is rumored that Li Jue once asked the witch that the person who replaced the Han should be Tu Gaoye, the meaning of this prophecy! Could it be that Li Jue had the ability to replace the Han?" What do you mean? If this is the case, the lord's recent rise in power must have aroused Li Jue's worries, so he deliberately suppressed it and didn't want to confer the lord's official title!" Meng Jian frowned.

"However, Chang'an City is still under Li Jue's influence! The court officials are controlled by Li Jue, what should we do?"

Meng Jian had no choice but to stay in Chang'an for the past three months. If he wanted to be appointed to an official position, it was useless to find the emperor!It also depends on what Li Jue means.

Before Fan Chou died, Li, Guo, and Fan were three powerful forces in Chang'an City, and there was no room for others. Even Zhang Ji, who was the weakest, was a fellow townsman of the three. He once attacked the Chang'an brothers together, and now he had to withdraw In the struggle for power, I asked myself to station troops in Hongnong.

Unexpectedly, Li Jue took the lead and got rid of the unsuspecting Fan Cong at the banquet, breaking the balance all at once. Kill yourself by the same means.

In the current situation, even a passerby can see that if Li Jue can get rid of Guo Si, the world will be in the hands of Li Jue alone!Reappearing the power of Dong Taishi in the past, Li Jue may even abolish the emperor and establish himself as emperor! !
This made Guo Si restless, if only that was the case, the two could coexist because of Jia Xu's efforts to coordinate, but Li Jue didn't know why, and often invited Guo Si to his home as a guest. Every time he ate the delicious food and wine, Guo Bang enjoyed it very much, and at night, he even sent a beautiful maidservant to serve Guo Bang in bed.

Once or twice, Guo Si was frightened and frightened, and later said it was inconvenient, and he did not want to visit Li Jue's house again. Li Jue did not stop his "kindness" to Guo Bang, and often sent some delicacies to Guo Bang In Si's house, Guo Si didn't dare to eat it, so he gave it to his servants, but nothing happened.

One day, Li Jue tried his best to invite Guo Bang again. Guo Si was worried that he would offend Li Jue if he didn't go again. In addition, the food and drink delivered several times before was all right, so he went to the banquet. Stomach cramps, his wife said: "It must be caused by the poison in the wine and vegetables!"

Guo Bang was shocked, and immediately got feces and urine from the latrine, held back the stench, forced it down, and vomited all over the floor.

Because of the battle between Li Jue and Guo Si in Chang'an City, countless people were killed and injured, and the people suffered accordingly. The two controlled some people from each other and did not allow them to come and go, which exacerbated the famine in the city.

However, when Meng Jian was meditating in the inn, he suddenly heard someone begging to see him, but he was a scout sent by Feng Yao, and the scout conveyed Feng Yao's meaning to Meng Jian one by one, and Meng Jian's eyes flickered. Fang Guang was overjoyed, the brow that had been wrinkled for three months was completely relaxed this time.

"Okay! I know it, please go back and tell the lord, please rest assured, this matter will be done!!" When Meng Jian sent the scout away, he held the scout's hand, and his face was full of joy.

The next day, Meng Jian asked to see the emperor, and it was not until the afternoon that the latter emperor summoned him.

At this time, after all the officials dispersed, the emperor summoned him alone in the study.

Although Emperor Liu Xie was only 14 years old, he already had his own ideas. After Meng Jian performed some etiquette, he moved away from the left and right, and the two were alone in the study.

"Why did you come to see Zheng instead of Li Sima?" Liu Xie wondered.

"The minister is here for His Majesty's safety!" Meng Jian said.

Liu Xie was surprised, looked at Meng Jian, and asked, "I heard that you are Feng Yuzhou's subordinate, so are you speaking for Feng Yuzhou, or for yourself?"

"I speak on behalf of my lord!" Meng Jian replied.

Liu Xie nodded in satisfaction, but immediately heaved a long sigh and said, "I am in Chang'an City, watching people die of hunger every day, I feel ashamed, but there is no one around me who can share my worries!"

Seeing this, Meng Jian immediately stepped forward and said in a low voice, "Your Majesty, my lord is in Yuzhou. He has quite a lot of money and food. He has brought money and food to Beijing several times, but they were all privately swallowed by the Xiliang army. If your majesty can return to Luoyang in Guanzhong, or Arriving in Yuzhou, my lord will surely protect His Majesty!!"

Liu Xie's eyes lit up, and he asked, "It's just that now that Chang'an is controlled by Li Sima and Guo Cheqi, how can I get out?"

"Your Majesty, please issue an edict to the minister, and ask him to take it out of the palace, and my lord will definitely lead the troops to escort him!" Meng Jian said.

Liu Xie was moved, thought about it, nodded in agreement, and immediately named Feng Yao as General An Dong, and wrote an imperial edict, and handed it over to Meng Jian, who hurried out of the palace with the edict in the interlayer of his hat.

As soon as he reached the gate of the palace, he was stopped by an army. Meng Jian was shocked and saw that the leader was none other than Li Sima, Li Sima's nephew.

Li Xian shouted: "You are so brave, you dare to meet the emperor in private! Take it down for me!"

"Li Xian, how dare you!! Are you not afraid that my lord will lead an army to attack?" Meng Jian shouted anxiously.

Feng Yao's name is not only known in Kanto, but also in Chang'an. Although these soldiers are Li Xian's subordinates, they are afraid that Feng Yao will lead the troops to kill them, so they dare not really go forward.

Li Xian was furious, and personally led his entourage forward, pointed the gun at Meng Jian's throat, and asked, "Actually, what did you say when you saw the emperor?"

Although Meng Jian was afraid, he knew that if he confessed at this time, he would die under the gun immediately, so he was furious and shouted: "Li Xian, you still have the nerve to ask! If it wasn't for my lord's request, Li Sima has not answered, I will How could you go to see the emperor!!"

After that, Meng Jian raised his head and laughed again. Li Xian was suspicious. When he was considering how to deal with it, Meng Jian stopped laughing and said triumphantly: "Li Xian, it's okay to tell you, the emperor. I have already learned about my lord's achievements, and I have agreed to make my lord General Anton!"

While speaking, he pulled out the tip of the gun pointed at the throat with his hand, without a trace of fear in his eyes.

"You... I dare not kill you?" Li Xian was furious.

At this time, suddenly a scribe rushed over and shouted: "General Li, don't do anything, listen to me!"

The person who came here was Dr. Guanglu, Jia Xu and Jia Wenhe whom everyone in the Xiliang army admired.

"Uncle Jia!" Li Xian cupped his fists and saluted, he dared not neglect Jia Xu.

"General Li, the chief minister has orders not to embarrass Meng Jian! Meng Jian is under the command of our ally Feng Yuzhou! Don't you forget!" Jia Xu said loudly.

Then, regardless of the surprise of Li Xian and all the soldiers, he ordered everyone to let go of Meng Jian, stepped forward, and said with cupped hands: "Gongwei, what an offense, the last time I promised Gongwei, this time there has been a result, Li Sima I have already agreed to Feng Yuzhou's request, agreed to Feng Yuzhou's appointment as General Anton, the founding of the mansion, and the title of Marquis of Pingyuting!"

"Pingyu Tinghou? Why not Pingyuhou?" Meng Jian asked dissatisfied.

"Gongwei, I have exhausted my tongue to be named Tinghou! And this is the result of my trying my best to speak well in front of Li Sima. Another point is that Li Sima hopes that Feng Yuzhou can send 20 shi of grain as soon as possible. Come." Jia Xu cupped his hands.
