The Reincarnation of Lu Bu at the End of the Han Dynasty

Chapter 413 Lu Qing, I'm Waiting For You

Beigong, the sleeping hall of the emperor.

On the dragon couch, Liu Hong's complexion was pale, his hands were clutching the bed blanket tightly, sweat was oozing from his frowning brows, and he kept shouting: "Get out of here, get out of here! Don't come here, don't want……"

The voice gradually changed from being irritable at first to pleading, cowardly and helpless.

A few eunuchs from the Huang family who were near the dragon couch hurried forward, carefully wiped the sweat from the emperor's forehead, and whispered softly: "Your Majesty, Your Majesty..."

The Son of Heaven who was sleeping suddenly opened his eyes, his anger was radiating, and he grabbed the side of the couch with his right hand, and the sharp long sword made a 'choke' sound, and he pulled it out of its sheath.

The emperor stared at the group of yellow gates in front of him with his eyes wide open, with a ferocious expression on his face, and sternly reprimanded: "Bitch, you want to take my life!"

After finishing speaking, with a wave of the horizontal sword, blood immediately spilled down.

The hot blood stimulated Liu Hong's nerves, he became more and more manic, turned over and sat up, and slashed at the few Huangmen who were near him.

Blood was pouring down, and the eunuchs who were near the emperor saw the emperor going crazy, how dare they go forward to serve him, and stood there in a daze, their hearts fluttered and their legs trembled.

The Son of Heaven waved his blood-stained sword, looked around at the hazy figures, narrowed his long eyes, and shouted gloomily, "Don't you want to kill me? Come on!"

The close servants of Huangmen only thought that the emperor was bewitched by evil spirits, no matter what, they dared not fight the emperor.

Liu Hong saw that no one came up, so he raised his sword and rushed towards the direction of people. Whether it was an eunuch or a court lady, he would slash and kill anyone he saw.

For a while, there was a loud wail in the bedroom.

The figures in the hall began to flee, and Liu Hong, who was so excited to kill, wiped the blood on his face, laughed ferociously, and shouted at the guard at the door: "Close the door for me!"

Seeing this posture, the guards outside, who dared to eat arsenic in the past, did not dare to disobey the order of the emperor, closed the door of the palace with both hands, and allowed the emperor to kill wantonly in the bedroom.

When Zhang Rang arrived after hearing the news, the slaughter was over.

None of the maids and eunuchs in the sleeping hall survived, their arms and limbs were broken, and blood dripped all over the hall.

Liu Hong was sitting on the couch, his plain white clothes were stained with blood, he was propping up the side of the couch with both hands, his face was tired, and he was panting heavily.

Zhang asked people to clean up the blood from these corpses, then walked slowly to the emperor, bowed his body and asked softly, "Your Majesty, what's wrong with you?"

Liu Hong looked up, and his pale face looked particularly weak. Seeing that it was Zhang Rang, he felt a lot more at ease, and his tone was filled with panic that he had never seen before: "Father, I have executed Queen Song, Liu Kui, etc. , Chen Qiu, and Liu Jai have all returned, and they demanded their lives from me, wanting to kill me and dismember me."

Liu Hong grasped the hilt of the sword, peeked around, and looked at everyone, full of suspicion and indirect dodge.

He is afraid.

Seeing Liu Hong's frightened expression, Zhang Rang felt sad. How did the former king become what he is now.

"Don't be afraid, Your Majesty. It seems that you have been infected with evil spirits due to your hard work in recent days. The old slave has sent someone to invite the Nuo Master to come here to exorcise the evil spirits. Your Majesty rests at ease. Given time, you will surely recover."

Zhang Rang comforted him with kind words. After cleaning the hall, he asked someone to light the incense for calming the gods, took off the emperor's shoes, and covered him with a brocade quilt, so that he could rest and fall asleep.

Liu Hong's sleep has been extremely poor in recent days, and he often has nightmares, with dark circles around his eyes and thick bags under his eyes.

Lying back on the couch, Liu Hong soon became tired and gradually closed his eyes. Just as he was about to fall asleep, he suddenly heard the muffled sound of 'dong dong, dong dong'.He opened his eyes suddenly, sat up from the bed excitedly, and shouted expectantly: "Horseshoes, horseshoes! It's Lu Qing, Lu Qing is back!"

The tiredness and drowsiness were all gone, Liu Hong sat up from the couch, as if he was about to put on his clothes and boots, and went to meet him in person.

Zhang Rang hurried forward, stopped Liu Hong's movements, shook his head and said, "Your Majesty, you heard wrong. Those are the two princes, chasing and playing outside."

Even if Lu Bu came back, it would be impossible to ride a horse in the palace.

Liu Hong listened intently, the look of anticipation on his face faded, he lay back on the couch, opened his eyes, looked at the top of the palace above his eyes, and asked in a daze: "Father, the imperial emissary has gone How long?"

"More than a month."

"Then...why hasn't Lu Qing come back?" Liu Hong's eyes were a little dazed.

Zhang Rang thought for a while, and replied in a low voice: "It seems that there is no news in Youzhou, so it will inevitably take some time. General Lu should have received His Majesty's edict, and he is on his way back now."

Liu Hong felt at ease after hearing this.

As everyone knows, Zhang Rang's answer is undoubtedly deceiving himself.Although there was no news about Youzhou, but he sent someone to leave quickly, so he should have come back and returned early.But now it is gone, and even the confidant sent to deliver the letter has disappeared.

Later, Zhang Rang sent a few more batches out, but the result was that there was no news at all.

News from outside could come in, but news from Luoyang could not.The forces of all parties are ready to move, and Bo Yun is treacherous in the seemingly peaceful city of Luoyang.

Ninety percent of this was done by He Jin's gang, and He Jin didn't have the guts, but the palace guests and staff under his command, as well as the gentry party members behind the scenes, might not be able to do such a thing.

Even if Zhang Rang knew, he couldn't tell the truth.

At this juncture, Liu Hong's condition became more and more serious, and he could no longer bear the severe stimulation.The imperial doctor in the palace was helpless half a month ago. He said something disrespectful, and he was dying of a terminal illness, with no means of recovery.

In the next few days, the emperor's physical condition deteriorated day by day.

At the beginning of March, Liu Hong hadn't attended the court for more than half a month.

On this day, Taichang Liu Yan came to see him.

Liu Hong let him in. According to the relationship of seniority, Liu Yan was still his uncle and clan.

Liu Yan, who wore a scholar's mustache, came in, bowed his hands and met the emperor.

Liu Hong was wearing imperial uniform, with bony cheekbones, sunken eye sockets, and the sickness on his face became more and more obvious.He looked at Liu Yan who came to see him, and said weakly, "Your Taichang is here, why is it?"

When Liu Yan saw the state of the Son of Heaven, he became more convinced of the matter that had been rumored privately among the ministers in recent days, but he shouted earnestly and loudly: "Your Majesty, Wanwang take care of the dragon body! "

Liu Hong had heard countless times about taking care of yourself. He glanced at Liu Yan and said impatiently, "Let's get down to business."

Although its shape is weak, its potential still exists.

The majesty of the emperor of the Han family made Liu Yan tremble in his heart. He quickly lowered his head and said respectfully: "Your Majesty, in recent years, there have been a lot of wars in various places, all because of the assassins, prefects, and bribes. The common people, so that all the people betrayed their relatives. The ministers thought that the elected ministers of the imperial court would be the herdsmen, and serve as the governors of the prefectures and counties, so as to guard the world."
