Three Kingdoms, at the beginning of the game, recognize the thief as the father, hit the spectacle,

He rode his horse all the way to the imperial city in the north of the city, which was also the second tallest man-made building in Luoyang City. Before the people of He Jin reached the gate, he yelled at the guards at the gate with a loud voice.

Although these guards guarded very important places, their positions were not high, so they were more or less afraid of He Jin.

Seeing He Jin's vicious look, the two guards didn't dare to stop him, so they opened the city gate and welcomed He Jin and others in carefully.

But when the crowd had just entered the door, and before they had time to mount their horses again, He Jin saw a thin but familiar figure walking towards him from the depths of the palace.

……

"The important place of the palace, who is making noise here!"

……

"Hiss... hehe, it turned out to be General He... I haven't had time to find you, how dare you send it to your door?"

Some dry and cold voices are like rotten old wood, which makes people subconsciously feel that the pressure on their bodies has suddenly increased a lot.

Looking at He Jin and the others with an extremely gloomy expression, Zhang Rang swung his sleeves violently, and immediately a group of strong guards with weapons in their hands came out from behind him.

……

"Humph!"

"Come on, take him down for me!"

……

Chapter 60 Heartache

Back to two hours ago...

"Father, you are here."

"I haven't seen you for some days, how are you doing well recently?"

In the Jiade Hall in the south of the Luoyang Imperial Palace, Liu Hong, the current emperor of the Han Dynasty, wore a thin shawl and silk underwear, with a haggard and thin face.

Compared with last year when Zhang Yan was still in Luoyang City, Liu Hong now undoubtedly looks older and more decayed.

He is only 34 years old this year, but he already has a lot of gray hair on his sideburns, and at the same time, his whole body is filled with an old-fashioned atmosphere.

Not far in front of him, Zhang Rang bowed respectfully, with his slender eyes lowered like this, looking at Liu Hong in front of him from the corner of his eye, looking a little bit embarrassed for a while.

Slightly regaining his composure, Zhang Rang turned around and took a look at the surrounding environment. After confirming that Jian Shuo was the only one standing next to Liu Hong with a playful smile, he walked slowly to Liu Hong's side and bowed again.

"Thanks to love, we have been in good health these days."

"I don't know what the Holy One is doing today, but he hastily ordered someone to call me from outside the palace?"

Leaning over to Liu Hong's ear and whispering a question, Zhang Rang's gaze skipped over Liu Hong who was in a daze on the recliner. For some reason, he always felt that the other party today seemed a little different from usual.

If it is said that Liu Hong in the past only gave Zhang Rang a faint sense of weakness due to the aging far beyond his actual age, the current Liu Hong is like a kind of air bubble, which is somewhat unreal.

It's like being poked lightly by someone, and it will be broken into pieces all over the ground.

And Liu Hong didn't say much when he heard the words.

He just nodded towards Jian Shuo who was at the side, then stretched out his hand and pointed to the opposite side of him, beckoning Zhang Rang to sit down on his knees.

"Come on, let father... there is no outsider in this palace today, you just sit here, sit beside me, and have a good talk with me."

……

"The thing you said a few days ago... the will and so on, I also have a little understanding."

"I'm old, but I'm not old either. The weather is nice today, so I just have a good chat with you."

"My body is not as good as before... Especially after the new year this year, I always feel tired, and I can't hide what I have to say, so I just want to say it, otherwise I always feel that there will be no chance in the future."

……

"Jian Shuo... you go out first. Help me guard the door. I have something to talk to Father Rang."

After waving away Jian Shuo, Liu Hong just squinted his eyes and looked into the distance, not knowing what he was thinking.

Seeing this, Zhang Rang glanced at Jian Shuo's direction with some hesitation.

……

"What are you looking at me for? It has nothing to do with me..."

"Dont look at me……"

……

It's a pity that Jian Shuo didn't have much to say except for a helpless look in his eyes.

He just shrugged regretfully at Zhang Rang in front of Liu Hong, then he sighed, turned and walked towards the door.

……

"Squeak-"

The soft twisting sound of the wooden door shaft broke the silence between Zhang Rang and Liu Hong, and also brought a hint of mystery to the communication between these two "old men".

……

"Father, what have you been up to lately? I haven't seen you for a few days, and I haven't been out of the gate of the Jiade Palace for a few days. Think about it...you really feel a little down... "

Liu Hong, who was between the two of them, spoke first. He took a sip of the warm water in the cup, and after a long hiccup, he asked Zhang Rang weakly.

"Returning to the Holy One, there is nothing special about it."

"This year is the sixth year that you have changed your reign title. It stands to reason that after two years, it will be time for re-selection and transfer in the officialdom."

"These days, I basically deal with those official affairs outside the palace. You know, I'm getting old, and some things are left to the young people in the palace to do... I'm always a little worried."

Slowly responding to Liu Hong, Zhang Rang didn't know what the other party meant for a while.So he just held the teacup in his hand, lowered his eyes slightly, looked at Liu Hong's chin, and waited for his next words.

……

"Hmm... busy... huh, no, it should be said that you are busy making money, right?"

Smiling lightly and sighing, Zhang Rang trembled for no reason at Liu Hong's words, as if the aura on the other party's body had once again weakened a lot.

What surprised him even more was that Liu Hong didn't know whether he was confused or what, and his sudden sentence made Zhang Rang feel as if he had been struck by lightning.

"Then why Jin, are you still so anxious to wait for my death recently?"

"Hehe, this guy... His temper is so irritable. If he can really calm down, maybe the one who appeared here today is not you, Father, but him."

Slowly talking to Zhang Rang, Liu Hong seemed to think of something for a moment, and even laughed softly.

And Zhang Rang felt something wrong with Liu Hong's words.

What does it mean to wait for Liu Hong to die?

Did Liu Hong know something, or was he simply aware of something?

You know, Zhang Rang and He Jin have been fighting for so many years, and he has blamed He Jin for everything, but Zhang Rang has not considered this aspect of the crime of regicide and treason until now.

It's not because of anything else, it's just that the crime of treason is too overbearing. As long as there is a slight hint, there is almost no possibility of turning the tables on those accused of treason. .

If there are petty officials and the like, this rebellion is also rebellion.Even if Liu Hong ordered the execution of officials who showed signs of rebellion, the other party would have no chance to resist, so they just waited obediently to die.

But He Jin is different...

When an official sits in the position of He Jin, if someone really pushes him to death, even if this person is the current emperor, the other party may tear his face and really directly launch a rebellion!

Zhang Rang just wanted He Jin to get out of the big man's officialdom quickly, but he hadn't thought about forcing He Jin to the point of treason.

Now that Liu Hong's opening sentence came out, Zhang Rang woke up as if he drank a glass of ice water in three or nine days.

"My lord, what are you... what do you mean by this?"

"Over there, the general, what news do you know?"

Pursing his lips and asking Liu Hong, Zhang Rang already had a premonition in his heart at this moment, and he couldn't help shivering all over his body.

And Liu Hong is obviously in a bad state of mind, and has no idea of ​​going around in circles with Zhang Rang.

I saw him glance at Zhang Rang as if pointing, and then pointed to the direction outside the door, his expression was a little scary.

……

"Father, I grew up by your side since I was a child. At that time, the real father and I said a word, that is, no one in the world can be trusted, not even my queen, my emperor's son." , and one day in the future, it is possible to stand on the opposite side with me."

"In fact, I have known for a long time that whether it is the He family, the generals, or the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty, they all wish that I would die sooner. Only after I die and the imperial power is in the hands of the children, can they do whatever they want. Take control of the imperial power."

"And my two children, whether they are Xie'er or Bian'er, will grow up one day. They will long for the position I am sitting in now, long for me to die sooner, and hand over power to them earlier superior."

Said very scary words in a very light voice, Liu Hong seemed to be really old, and the expression at the moment could not be said to be gloomy or something. In short, Zhang Rang felt that the other party seemed to be a different person, the same as before. It's a totally different feeling.

And then, what Liu Hong said made Zhang Rang's breathing stop suddenly, and at the same time his heart started beating thumpingly.

……

"Honestly speaking, it is normal for the children to hope that I will die soon...I am happy!"

"The imperial power of the big men will be handed over to them sooner or later."

"But those civil and military officials, what do they rely on?"

"I admit that among the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty, there are indeed some people who are loyal to the Han Dynasty, loyal to me, the emperor of the great man... But there are more, more of them are some people who are fighting, and they are all the moths of this big man. !"

"I raise them and use them on weekdays, they don't know how to be grateful, they are still lying on our big man's body and sucking blood, and now they dare to touch the authority of my big man emperor, who gave them the courage!"

"Father, do you know me today, I only know today..."

……

Taking a deep breath, Liu Hong's withered cheeks turned red.

……

"I just found out today that the big man's troubles are not outside. It's not some bullshit Yellow Turban or Xiongnu!"

"The root of the great man's decline lies in the Deyang Hall of Luoyang Beigong!"

……

"Father, help me..."
