Dragon map of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 157

early morning.

Above the sea level in the east, a round of red sun is slowly rising, and the rays of the rising sun shine on Luoyang City. The snow that fell in the past two days has been completely melted by this light. The gentle sunshine makes people feel warm .

In Luoyang East City, a fire has just been extinguished.

This fire originated from the mansion where the Jingping Commercial Company was located, but it involved almost [-] houses in the surrounding area, involving more than a thousand people. It can be regarded as the biggest fire in Luoyang City in recent years.

"Why did my house burn down!"

"God damn it, who set the fire!"

"Dad, wake up!"

"Master Guan, you have to decide for us!"

"..."

Many of the people who were rescued were merchants. They were howling and crying, watching their houses become ruins.

"How could this be?"

Luoyang Commander Sima Fang came over with the county soldiers, looked at the rows of burned houses, and muttered to himself.

Things turned out like this, which caught him off guard.

"Sima Jiangong, how did it become like this, don't you know?"

Yuan Pang, who is in charge of gold, walks over. He is over fifty years old this year, his beard and hair are gray, and his face is relatively old. But as an old minister who once held the position of Situ, there is a kind of strength in his momentum: "You have such a cruel heart. To kill one person and implicate nearly a thousand innocent people in Luoyang, even if you sue the emperor today, I will not spare you!"

He is from the Yuan family of Chenjun, and he can be regarded as a noble family.

However, he is not in the same rank as the powerful family, but he has quite the same political views as Lu Zhi, Wang Yun, and the others, but above the court, he is a clear stream. He used to be an official to Situ, and was exiled for thousands of miles. visible ability.

He naturally knows who lives in this house.

He also vividly remembered the dispute between court and court, but he never thought that someone would be so insane, and under his nose, such a thing would happen, and if he was investigated, he, the king of the king, could hardly shirk the blame.

"Yuan Gong, please calm down, this matter has nothing to do with me!" Sima Fang said hastily.

"hey-hey!"

Yuan Pang sneered: "Mr. Sima Jiang, you are blind as an old man. It was you Luoyang County soldiers who prevented me from entering Dongshi last night. I really think that you are the one who has the final say on the emperor's feet!"

"Duke Yuan, please listen to my analysis!" Sima panicked.

"Go to the Imperial Palace and analyze it!"

Yuan Pang walked away with a flick of his sleeves.

"Damn it!" Sima Fang's face was gloomy.

"Father!" At this time Sima Lang came up and whispered to his father: "Just now, according to the statistics, more than 500 people were burned, and in this mansion, more than 100 corpses were carried out, and the corpses were all dead. It's burnt, I'm afraid I can't identify it anymore!"

"The Yuan family misunderstood me!"

Sima Fang sighed, Mu Jing couldn't be killed, but he was given the responsibility, no matter how much he pushed it, he might not be able to push it away.

……

Luoyang North Palace.

Ling Kunwan.

This Wanyuan was built by Emperor Ling personally a few years ago. It is just north of the Beigong, close to Shanglinwan, and there is a Hongchi next to it. It is a good place for recuperation with beautiful scenery.

When the emperor is in a good mood, he always likes to come here to cultivate his body, but at this moment, the emperor is furious at this place.

He summoned Cai Yong to enter the palace last night. After a long sigh, he was in a good mood and drank several times more. He favored several beautiful concubines who had just entered the palace. information.

The emperor never expected that under his nose, these people would dare to be so presumptuous, which made him want to get angry: "What are they trying to do? If Mujing doesn't go their way, they will kill you!" Mujing, for the sake of Mujing, they did not hesitate to burn me, Luoyang, if I don’t obey their wishes, will they also kill me, burn my palace, and rebel, right?”

His hysterical voice carried a strong murderous intent, as well as a touch of unknown panic.

What happened last night made him feel dangerous.

Some rules have begun to lose their effect, and the disaster of swords and soldiers has begun to hide in Luoyang City, so how can he be the emperor smoothly?

"Your Majesty, calm down!"

Zhang asked Zhao Zhong and other eunuchs to bow their heads and appease quickly.

"Under my eyes, they dare to be so presumptuous. Do they still have me?" The anger in the emperor's heart could no longer be suppressed, and the flames in his pupils were about to burst out: "It seems that I have indulged them too much." Now, they don't even pay attention to my imperial decree, since that's the case, I don't need to keep them, I want to kill people, but I want to see if my knife is sharp!"

"Your Majesty, please calm down!"

Zhang Rang hurried forward, knelt at the feet of the emperor, and begged: "Your Majesty, they hold the military power in their hands, and they must not disturb the court at this time. If they are forced to hurry and hurt your majesty's dragon body, it will be bad! "

"Your Majesty, we will have a long time to come, and servants and servants will definitely remove these ministers who disobey the Holy Will for Your Majesty!" Zhao Zhong also said hastily.

"Hoo hoo!!!!"

The emperor's anger became more and more intense, he gasped for breath, couldn't get a breath, and immediately passed out.

"The Imperial Physician!"

"Hurry up and tell the doctor!"

When Zhang Rang saw it, he became flustered immediately, and they shouted loudly to the outside.

The imperial physician soon came, and after the diagnosis, an old imperial physician did acupuncture and moxibustion, and the emperor woke up from the darkness.

"What's wrong with me?"

The emperor took a breath, and his complexion improved a lot.

The imperial doctor said: "Your Majesty, you are so anxious and exhausted that you hurt the dragon's body. I hope you can maintain your mood and don't hurt the dragon's body again!"

"Go down!"

The emperor has calmed down, waved his hand, and said.

"promise!"

Several imperial doctors packed their suitcases and left the palace.

"Your Majesty!" Zhang Rang walked up on his knees: "It's the servant's fault. The servant's incompetence made His Majesty angry!"

"Don't care about your business!"

The Son of Heaven stood up, breathing much calmer: "I know, they just want to trap me in this palace city. They think that they can ruin my calculations by taking the bottom line, and they underestimate me too much!"

He struggled to stand up and asked, "How is Mu Jing'er now?"

"He was seriously injured, and the guards around him were killed and wounded countless times, but he managed to save his life, and now he has been protected by the barracks!"

Zhao Zhong replied.

After Mu Jing got out of trouble, he immediately went to Zhao Zhong's mansion. He knew that only the eunuchs could save his life in Luoyang City, so he asked Zhao Zhong for help openly, regardless of his reputation.

Zhao Zhong was also unambiguous, and directly dispatched the head of the eight battalions in the West Garden, the most powerful Shangjun battalion to protect Mujing.

"Those who go to Runan to preach the decree must start!"

"I left overnight last night!"

"who?"

"It was Gao Wang who delivered the decree in person!"

Gao Wang is also one of the ten permanent attendants, someone the emperor trusts more.

"I remember that Gao Banban is good at light work. Send someone to urge him to rush to Runan as soon as possible to implement the return of Mushan!" The emperor calmed down and his thoughts became clear: "If some people don't give up, they will definitely be in Runan." Do it, Mu Shan must not turn against him, he must be used by me!"

"Yes!"

Zhang Rang nodded and said, "Slave servant, send someone to send a message to Gao Wang!"

"deliver an imperial order!"

The emperor said in a deep voice.

"exist!"

Zhang Rang spread out a piece of gold silk in person, and wrote with ink.

"Nian Mujing was young and had meritorious performances. I pardoned Mujing's crimes, gave Mujing a companion to read with the prince's association, and granted him the title of Hongdumen's school of sacrificial wine. The supervisor, with a rank and salary of six hundred shi, also ordered Da Honglu and generals to be master craftsmen to build the Hou's Mansion of Xi'e Township within ten days!"

The Son of Heaven had already summoned Cai Yong last night. He knew very well how terrible the things Mu Jing used to impress Cai Yong were terrible. This craft would overturn the entire scholarly society. This is also the reason why he heard that Mu Jing was stabbed last night and almost died. One of the reasons to be so angry.

If he cared more about the military power in Mu Shan's hands before.

By the way, we are worried about talent of Mujing now.

If both of them can be used by him, they will definitely change the current court structure for him.

"Your Majesty, the decree is ready!"

Zhang Rang dried the ink on it.

"Pass it on immediately!"

The Son of Heaven sealed it, and then ordered.

"promise!"

Zhang Rang nodded.

"Your Majesty, Yuan Pang, the ruler of the Jin Dynasty, Sima Fang, the commander of Luoyang, and Wu Kuang, the general of the city defense, are here to see you outside the palace!" A palace guard came in from the outside and clasped his hands to report.

"not see!"

The emperor said coldly.

"His Majesty?"

"I didn't see you!"

"promise!"

The people dared not disobey the voice of the king again.

"Continue to pass on my will!" the Son of Heaven said gloomyly.

"Yes!"

"Yuan Pang, who is in charge of the Jin Dynasty, neglected his duties and caused a fire in Luoyang, causing countless casualties among the people. He resigned and waited for orders!"

"promise!"

"Sima Fang, the commander of Luoyang, neglected his duties and caused a fire in Luoyang. Many people were killed and injured. He was dismissed and returned home!"

"promise!"

"Wu Kuang, the city defense general, failed to protect Luo Yang, dismissed from his post and exiled!"

"promise!"

With the three imperial decrees, the government and the public were shaken, the majesty of the sky was vast and powerful, Luoyang City was suddenly quiet, and all the ministers were a little dumbfounded at this moment.

……

The General's Mansion.

"General, help!" Wu Kuangnian, about thirty, knelt on the ground, crying with tears and snot in his nose.

He is pure disaster.

No matter how it is calculated, it cannot be counted on his head.

But he was the most miserable one to be punished. He was exiled to the frontier, and his future would be ruined.

"Wu Kuang, the imperial decree has been issued, and this general can't change it. You go to Liangzhou for the time being. There is Dong Zhuo, my general's confidant in Liangzhou. He will take care of you. This general will bring you back to Luoyang as soon as possible!" He Jin Pinching the bridge of his tired nose, he said in a deep voice.

"promise!"

Wu Kuang was helpless, as General He Jin's confidant and favorite general, guarding the defense of the capital, and now being used by His Majesty to perform surgery, he had nothing to say. Fortunately, he was exiled in Liangzhou. If he was in other places, he might not even have a chance to stand up.

After Wu Kuang left, He Jin's face darkened: "Zhang Jin, what's going on, I asked you to kill people, not to set fires!"

"Report to the General, Mu Longtu set the fire himself!"

Zhang Jin cupped his hands and said.

"what?"

"If it wasn't for the fire, I would have killed them all, but the whole scene was in chaos when the fire came together. Last night, the night wind howled again. The fire spread quickly, and there were many people fighting the fire outside. We were helpless." I have no choice but to retreat!"

"So cruel!"

He Jin became more and more jealous of this young man who had met once in class: "Isn't he afraid of being burned to death?"

"General, this is to die and live!"

The chief bookkeeper Chen Lin said in a deep voice: "This young man has great courage, so don't let him stay!"

"But now His Majesty is already angry. He clearly knows that Wu Kuang is his elder brother's favorite general, but he directly exiled him and told his elder brother clearly that if we make any further moves, His Majesty may not be able to tolerate us, even if my sister is in the palace. I will be left out in the cold, and then, how should we deal with it!" He Miao said.

"There is ample time!"

He Jin gritted his teeth. This time, stealing chickens won't cost you money, you can't kill Mu Jing, and you will lose a favorite general, and lose the position of city defense general. He said in a deep voice: "The most important thing for us now is to fill the vacancy." Don't allow anyone to take advantage of the position of the city defense general!"

……

Sikong House.

"Your Majesty, the thunder is furious, this blow is hard enough!" Sikong Yuanfeng said gloomyly while kneeling in front of the hall.

"Brother, after this incident, the Sima family may be alienated from us!"

Yuan Kui said.

"As long as the Guanzhong family still trusts us!" Yuan Feng didn't care much about the Sima family. The Sima family's influence is not as good as that of the Hongnong Yang family: "But the Luoyang order still has to be contested!"
