People in the Eastern Han Dynasty, Hu and Han respected together

Chapter 93 The Imperial Court Situation

Luoyang, the palace!
Liu Hong knelt on the throne, his face expressionless, because he already knew that he seemed to have made a stupid decision in his anger.

Just then, a servant came to report:
"Your Majesty, Zuo Chang, governor of Liangzhou, is waiting outside the hall!"

The corner of Liu Hong's mouth twitched, and he said indifferently:

"Let him in!"

The valet respectfully accepted the order, then kept backing away, waited until the door before turning around, and finally walked out quickly.

Soon Zuo Chang came to the hall, and when he saw Liu Hong, he saluted immediately and said at the same time:
"Chen Zuochang pays homage to Your Majesty!"

After Liu Hong saw Zuo Chang, there was a chill in his eyes, but he still said calmly:

"Excuse me, Zuo Inspector, I want to know, it was Gai Xun who opened the city and surrendered first, and then you led people to kill it, is that so?"

Zuo Chang's heart trembled when he heard this, even though he was already very frightened, he still gritted his teeth and said:
"Exactly, the poor people in Jixian County were slaughtered because of this person!"

Liu Hong closed his eyes, and waved his hand in disgust:
"Inspector Zuo, you can go back!"

When Zuo Chang heard this, he was rejoicing when he heard Liu Hong continue to say:
"Liangzhou is gone, so don't be the governor, go back and wait for the notice!"

Zuo Chang had a bitter face, but he still responded respectfully:

"According to the order!"

After Zuo Chang left, Liu Hong spoke again, but his voice was very indifferent:

"Zhang Rang!"

When Zhang Rang heard this, his body also trembled. At the beginning they received a bribe from Zuo Chang and said a lot of bad things about Gai Xun, but now they have no choice but to stand up:
"His Majesty!"

Liu Hong said indifferently:

"This Zuo Chang, I don't want to see him again. After a while, you guys find a way to throw him in prison and deal with him directly!"

After Liu Hong finished speaking, he continued:
"Zhao Zhong!"

Hearing this, Zhao Zhong also stood up. He also felt a little afraid of Liu Hong at this time:
"His Majesty!"

After dealing with Zuo Chang, Liu Hong gradually calmed down:

"Song Ji, are you back now?"

Zhao Zhong bowed his head and said:

"He is back!"

Liu Hong said calmly:

"Just find a dry well in the palace and sink him directly!"

Zhang Rang and Zhao Zhong heard the words, looked at each other and said in succession:
"According to the order!"

Now Liu Hong's appearance is really frightening, as if he can control everything, they dare not defy him at all.

After a rare display of his wisdom, Liu Hong started to play badly again, dealing with Zuo Chang and Song Ji, mainly to vent his anger.

As for whether Gai Xun has grievances, Liu Hong doesn't care at all, as for rehabilitating him...

Isn't that just admitting that he did something wrong? Will he admit that he did something wrong?
of course not!

At this time, Liu Hong said in a bitter voice:

"These people want to lie to me, and now even the rebels are laughing at me, these untouchables, barbarians, they don't respect the power of heaven, they don't know the destiny of heaven, why are they rebelling?"

Does he hate?He is afraid!

Now the rebels have begun to besiege Chencang, which is the gate of Guanzhong, or even the gate of Sili. After Chencang is the land of Sanfu, and after Sanfu is the land of Sanhe.

This made Liu Hong feel terrified, and then said eagerly:

"How is the Kanto battlefield?"

Based on what he knew, Zhang Rang put it a little nicer, trying to coax Liu Hong:

"Nanyang Yellow Turban is defeated again and again. You Zhonglang Zhu Jun, Governor of Jingzhou Xu Que, and Nanyang Prefect Qin Jie. The three of them have surrounded the remnants of the Yellow Turban in Wancheng. As long as they break through the city, they can completely wipe out these bandits..."

"General Huangfusong, Zuo Zhonglang, after Xihua wiped out the remnants of the Yellow Turbans in Yingchuan, he has already led his troops northward to the Eastern Commandery. The Yellow Turbans in the Eastern Commandery must have nowhere to escape..."

"After Beizhonglang replaced Lu Zhiqui, Dongzhonglang Dong Zhuo had already arrived at Guangzong. He must be able to break through the city soon and present the thief's first horn to His Majesty..."

"The Xiongnu soldiers in Bingzhou and the Wuhuan soldiers in Youzhou, a total of [-] Huqi, have already rushed to Jizhou, Hebei. These are soldiers of tigers and wolves, and the Yellow Turban bandits are powerless to resist..."

It seems that the situation is going well, but in fact there is no progress at all. The elite of the Han Dynasty are still dragged by the Yellow Turban Army on the Kanto battlefield, and there is no way to rush to the Kanxi.

Liu Hong was very irritable when he heard it, his eyes became more fierce, and his voice became more severe:

"Send the little yellow gate to urge them, quickly destroy the yellow scarves for me, at all costs..."

"There is also Lu Zhi, who was besieged by Guangzong and did not attack. He raised his own self-respect. I can give him a chance to make meritorious deeds, let him go to Chang'an immediately, and then collect food and grass, and then recruit young men. He must give me three assistants!"

Facing the furious Liu Hong, neither Zhang Rang nor Zhao Zhong dared to speak out to persuade them, so they could only respectfully respond:
"According to the order!"

As close ministers of the emperor, they could obviously feel that something was wrong with Liu Hong, as if their emotions had accumulated to a peak, and any unfavorable news would be magnified infinitely, and then it would arouse his monstrous anger.

Ever since, Lu Zhi, who came to Beijing in a prison car, went around the prison and was directly appointed again. His friends all came to congratulate him, but he himself was very calm.

After knowing that Gai Xun committed suicide, Lu Zhi was a little disheartened. In his opinion, even if he didn't die on the battlefield, he would request to be resigned soon.

But he is still a minister of the Han Dynasty at this moment, so after being appointed by the emperor, he immediately went to Chang'an.

The imperial court had no troops to bring him, so Lu Zhi could be said to travel lightly, with only a team of honor guards of about 100 people.

In the other three battlefields, the elite of the Han Dynasty also launched a more intense confrontation with the Yellow Turban bandits. Facing the full suppression of the imperial court and the local siege and interception, the elite of the Han Dynasty completely gained the upper hand, and the Yellow Turban bandits have shown their decline.

After all, Zhang Jiao lacked insight. In his opinion, it was only the Han Dynasty that was going to be overthrown, but the aristocratic and powerful families were really going to be overthrown!

Don't overthrow them, replace Han with Wei, Jin... In fact, it's the same, the people at the bottom still have to suffer.

There was a short-term revival in the Wei and Jin Dynasties. It was because after the chaos at the end of the Han Dynasty, the people at the bottom directly decreased by four-fifths.

The contradiction between people and land has been slightly alleviated. If the aristocratic family can't really solve it, even if there are no such broken things in the Wei and Jin Dynasties, at most there will be less than a hundred years of national fortune.

As long as there are two or three generations, what the end of the Han Dynasty was like, what the Wei and Jin Dynasties will be like.

Regardless of the Han Dynasty or the Han people, his enemies are never outside, and his enemies are always inside.

Only by solving internal problems can we be invincible!
