The Three Kingdoms: General Yu She, reincarnated a hundred times.
Chapter 66 The responsibility to revive the Han Dynasty, though I am a woman, I dare not forget!
……
When Dong Zhuo heard Yu She's strange request, he had some doubts, but he also remembered that Yu She had already completely cut himself off from the other lords.
Of the warlords who were chasing after them, the one they wanted to kill the most right now was Dong Zhuo, but the second most wanted to kill was Yu She. They all wished they could get rid of Yu She to vent their hatred.
Therefore, even if Liu Yushe fell last, he had no chance of escaping back to seek refuge with the feudal lords.
Moreover, with Lü Bu also left behind, and Fengxian watching over him, there was no fear that he would do anything out of line. Thinking of this, Dong Zhuo nodded as if he was relieved.
"Zichuan has done his duty faithfully, how could I not allow it?"
With you remaining in Luoyang to handle the final matters, I am at ease.
After saying this, he and Li Ru led the main force towards Chang'an.
At that time, in the vast city of Luoyang, the emperor and all the court officials were gone, and Dong Zhuo and his generals had all fled. It was truly a case of "when the tiger is away, the monkey becomes king."
Aside from Lü Bu, who was the General of the Valiant Cavalry, Yu She, the General of the Vanquishing Bandits, held the highest official rank. He was in charge of a small number of people left by Dong Zhuo to handle the aftermath, as well as the elderly, weak, women, and children who were crying and wailing throughout the city.
Fortunately, Yu She had learned some basics from Yan Xiang. He was clearly not capable of governing the country, but he could manage to maintain the superficial stability of Luoyang for a short period of time.
He first asked Lü Bu to lead troops to manage the city's security and strictly prohibit illegal and disorderly conduct. He then ordered people to appease the people and distribute disaster relief edicts approved by the imperial court, the contents of which were roughly as follows:
[Please wait a moment, people. Soon, a group of governors, prefects, and other officials from the imperial court will come to deliver grain to relieve you, the disaster victims. At that time, you can present the imperial edict to them and ask for grain.]
The people were filled with doubt and uncertainty, but at least they had something to look forward to, and they calmed down.
In addition, Yu She also had to arrange the final work of moving the capital to Chang'an, such as the relatives and friends of high-ranking officials and nobles who were not in the core circle, as well as the relatively neglected concubines and female relatives in the palace.
These people were clearly less important than the first group of officials who had accompanied the emperor to Chang'an.
But to be honest, these people are quite important. If there's an opportunity, it would be best to bring them to Chang'an as well.
Therefore, it was left until the very end, and this was the final matter that Dong Zhuo truly needed Yu She to be responsible for completing.
Yu She arranged all sorts of trivial matters, and used various excuses and tasks to send away all the people arranged by Lü Bu and Dong Zhuo. Only then did he rush to Jianzhang Hall to search for the Imperial Seal of the State.
The strange thing is that he clearly remembered hearing Yuan Shao say that Sun Jian retrieved the Imperial Seal from the well in Jianzhang Palace, but where is it now?
He searched every well in the Jianzhang Hall, but there was no Imperial Seal of the State.
Is there really some kind of destiny at work? Does the Imperial Seal grow legs and run around on its own, only emerging from this well when Sun Jian arrives?
"That's really strange!"
For days, Yu She tried to distract everyone around him during the day and searched desperately in the Jianzhang Hall at night, but all his efforts were in vain.
Just when he was about to marvel at Sun Jianguo's "destiny" and almost gave up, on the last night Yu She stayed in Luoyang, a second set of footsteps sounded in the silent Jianzhang Hall.
"Oh no! The imperial seal is sentient; it really has legs!"
Yu She was startled and quickly hid in the shadows, holding his breath and pressing his hand on the sword at his waist, observing in the dark and waiting for an opportunity.
As the palace doors were gently pushed open, a slender and frail figure slowly walked in.
She deliberately changed into ill-fitting palace maid attire to conceal her presence, her haggard face displaying a resolute and ruthless expression.
Despite her current state of disgrace, the golden hairpin she hadn't removed in her haste to leave still shone brightly under the pure white moonlight.
With firm steps, she carried a jade box and walked straight to the well.
……
Yu She knew that the object in her arms must be the Imperial Seal of the State, so he naturally couldn't just watch her throw herself into the well.
Moreover, Yu She, who was in charge of finishing up things in Luoyang and transporting all these people away, had already recognized the person.
He then spoke coldly, calling out to the person who had come.
"The Princess of Ten Thousand Years!"
"Why did you not pack your bags at home tonight, intending to accompany me west to Chang'an tomorrow? What brings you here to Jianzhang Palace so late at night?"
Princess Liu Ning of Wannian was the half-sister of Liu Bian, the Prince of Hongnong, and the elder sister of Emperor Liu Xie!
……
In the dead of night, a fierce shout suddenly rang out in the empty hall. How could the person who came not be terrified and nearly die of fright?
Liu Ning was so shocked that he stumbled backward, nearly falling, his face turning deathly pale.
"You...you...you...are you a human or a ghost?"
Yu She then slowly stepped out, blocking her path between the well and the water well, and bowed respectfully.
"This humble general, Yu She, greets Your Highness."
Only after seeing Yu She clearly in the moonlight did Liu Ning finally catch his breath.
Knowing that he was a living person, she was no longer afraid. She avoided Yu She's questions and instead questioned him aggressively.
"I have long heard that General is a man of great talent and ability to govern the world. In recent days, I have seen that General governs Luoyang in an orderly manner and has done many things to care for the people. It is clear that he is not a wicked person."
Why are you now fawning and flattering, going to serve a traitor to the country?
The traitor Dong Zhuo slaughtered the imperial family. I personally witnessed my elder brother, the Prince of Hongnong, being forced by Li Ru to drink poison and die.
Empress Dowager He was also given a white silk noose, and could not escape punishment.
He then saw that his younger brother, the emperor, was kidnapped by the traitor Dong Zhuo and suffered all kinds of bullying, and he wept every night.
General, you are also a citizen of our great Han Dynasty. How can you so humble yourself to serve the enemy? Do you not have even a shred of loyalty and righteousness in your heart?
If you are able to rid the country of traitors and restore order, the Emperor's younger brother will surely reward you generously and treat you as a national hero.
"From now on, you will assist your younger brother, the Emperor, in protecting the Han Dynasty. With harmonious relations between ruler and subject, you will bring peace and prosperity to the people, your name will be etched in history, and your story will be passed down as a legend. Wouldn't that be wonderful?"
Yu She: "..."
"Um... Your Highness, is it possible that it's not that I don't want to, but that I can't?"
You think too highly of me!
I am under Lü Bu's command, and I don't even have a single soldier of my own. Therefore, I can command everyone, and all power is in the hands of the traitor Dong Zhuo.
What can I use to rid the country of traitors? What can I use to restore order?
He shook his head and gave a wry smile, similarly avoiding her question, and instead asked her.
"Your Highness knows perfectly well that She would never betray the Prime Minister, yet you are beating around the bush. What are you hiding?"
If I'm not mistaken, is the item Your Highness is carrying the Imperial Seal of the State?
Liu Ning was stunned!
Under the moonlight, her stunningly beautiful face was ashen white!
"How...how did you know?"
you…!"
Her previously carefully maintained composure instantly turned into ruthlessness.
"I had long heard that Dong Zhuo said you had infallible strategies and unfathomable wisdom. Seeing you today, I can confirm that the rumors are true."
Since you, you traitor, have already guessed it, I can only lament that this national treasure will ultimately fall into the hands of a national traitor.
However, that traitor bullies the concubines and wreaks havoc in the harem. Even with the protection of my imperial brother, my turn to be caught will eventually come.
"If the general intends to send me to Chang'an, to be humiliated and forced to serve a traitor!"
She gritted her teeth, pulled out the hairpin from her hair, and said hatefully!
"Absolutely impossible!"
