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

"Now is not the time to deal with things in a leisurely manner. If He Jin really can't think about breaking into the palace, the ending will be completely different with or without soldiers."

"If Lu Zhi has finished collecting the remnants of the Xiyuan army, then urge him to dispatch quickly and lead the soldiers to He Jin's lair."

"The force in He Jin's hands is not much different from that of the Forbidden Army of the West Garden. We must attack before his reinforcements enter Luoyang. Otherwise, if Ding Yuan's gang arrives, the soldiers of the West Garden will not be outnumbered." A lot of patience."

……

Frowning slightly, Zhang Rang inevitably felt a little anxious about the fact that Lu Zhi had left yesterday afternoon and never returned.

He is not a suspicious person, but after all, the relationship between Lu Zhi and him was not good before, and Zhang Rang has never had the habit of entrusting his fate to others.

Standing at the gate of the Jiade Hall, facing the rising sun slowly in the distance, Zhang Rang couldn't help thinking about his retreat in his heart:

……

"If Lu Zhi fails to arrive in time, what should I do?"

……

"What should I do if Lu Zhi fails to put an end to the situation in the West Garden?"

……

"If...if that Lu Zhi betrayed us, what should I do?"

……

Asking himself three times in a row, Zhang Rang frowned quickly, and at the same time kept thinking in his heart.

……

"No, we can't just wait here... If something goes wrong with Lu Zhi, Ding Yuan will come from outside Luoyang after receiving the news two days later, then we may have no chance..."

"No! If Lu Zhi's old man tells Shuo Pingyang to perfunctory us, Ding Yuan will not be needed. I'm afraid that He Jin will kill himself in the palace, and we will have a big problem here..."

"Be proactive...yes, be proactive."

After a long while, he breathed a sigh of relief, and at the same time, there was a trace of determination in his eyes looking into the distance.

……

"Come here, help me prepare the car and go to the East Palace of Luoyang Imperial City."

"Going right now."

……

I have to say that Zhang Rang's worry is really not unreasonable.

Although Lu Zhi now intends to take advantage of Jian Shuo's absence to rectify the Xiyuan Imperial Army's attack on He Jin, but he doesn't just want to attack He Jin.

It is Lu Zhi's real plan to ask He Jin to kill Zhang Rang and other ten permanent attendants first, and then destroy He Jin himself with a thunderous force.

As I said before, Lu Zhi and Zhang Rang had a big feud.When Lu Zhi received the official position of General Zhonglang and was ordered to exterminate the Yellow Turban rebels, it was Zhang Rang's ten permanent servants who stabbed him in the back, which led to Lu Zhi being imprisoned unjustly.

Later, Zhang Jiao and others died of illness, and were punished, but these things had nothing to do with Lu Zhi.When Huangfusong, Zhu Jun and others received their rewards for their meritorious service, Lu Zhi was still squatting in the prison!

This kind of hatred made Lu Zhi, who was already dedicated to the country, hate Zhang Rang even more, and he was always fantasizing about how he could completely eliminate the eunuchs and foreign relatives, the two disasters that plagued the country, from the big man.

That's right, unlike Zhang Rang, although Lu Zhi is a very thorough "royalist", his "royalist" has certain prerequisites.

To put it simply, Zhang Rang and other ten servants' "protecting the emperor" refers to unconditionally meeting Liu Hong's needs and helping Liu Hong achieve some of his own goals, while Lu Zhi's "protecting the emperor" means to hope that Liu Hong , that is to say, the monarch of the country acts in accordance with what he understands as a "wise and wise ruler".

To put it more simply, Zhang Rang, Zhao Zhong and others dote on Liu Hong unconditionally. Although this caused Liu Hong to make mistakes in certain things, what he did was what he sincerely wanted to do as an emperor matter.

But Lu Zhi is not.

Lu Zhi's attitude towards Liu Hong is more like that of a parent towards a child, or a teacher towards an apprentice.

I have to support you because I don't have a choice.

But the premise for me to support you is that you must follow my plan and the "model" I understand.

If not, then you are "looking crooked" and need to be "corrected".

Under such circumstances, it is impossible to say whether Liu Hong really wanted to do what Liu Hong did through Lu Zhi, or whether Lu Zhi wanted Liu Hong to do it.

Looking back at what happened before, Lu Zhi was obviously very dissatisfied with Liu Hong's performance.

Whether it's Liu Hong's character or his "flexible" bottom line, they are completely different from the kind of wise and virtuous ruler Lu Zhi imagined.

But what could he do?

No matter how bad the emperor was in his eyes, he was still the emperor of the Han Dynasty, and he was the object of allegiance to Lu Zhi.

Apart from sighing occasionally when thinking of these things, Lu Zhi had nothing else to do.

For this kind of inner depression, Lu Zhi can only attribute his own resentment and dissatisfaction with Liu Hong to Zhang Rang and He Jin.

……

"It must be the two forces of eunuchs and foreign relatives who have influenced or even coerced the Holy Majesty, which made the Holy Majesty make those irrational decisions!"

"If there were no eunuchs and relatives, the Holy Majesty would definitely not be what he is now!"

……

It may be hurtful to say this, but the fact is that this kind of thinking has become a true portrayal of Lu Zhi's heart in recent years.

How could he not know that human nature is difficult to change?

Perhaps even without Zhang Rang, He Jin, or the eunuch's relatives, other factors would have affected Liu Hong's decision, but for Lu Zhi, this was what he needed to maintain his loyalty.

Even if he deceives himself, he must do so.

Just like this time, although after learning the news that Liu Hong was poisoned by He Jin, Lu Zhi expressed considerable anger towards He Jin's existence, but this does not mean that he really has an attitude towards Zhang Rang. Really changed.

Everything before was just a compromise.

When there is a chance, Lu Zhi only hopes that these two forces will fight to the death and hurt both sides, and will no longer have the ability to influence the growth of the new emperor.

……

Leaving aside the battle of wits and courage between Lu Zhi and Zhang Rang, outside the palace in Luoyang, everything continued as usual.

Perhaps a hundred people in the palace can decide the fate of a million people outside the palace, but this does not mean that the nobles in the palace are more important than the common people outside the palace.

You must know that the main body of civilization in this world is still composed of ordinary people.

No matter how the people at the top are fighting with each other, as long as the lives of the people below continue, then this civilization, this world, will continue to move forward and will never stop.

……

"Shun Rice! Hot Shu Rice!"

……

The morning dew is still slowly leaving along the grass path. In several alleys in Luoyang City, many people have already gone out with their farm tools and started a new day of life.

They didn't notice that just yesterday, an earth-shattering event had happened to Dahan.

The emperor died.

No matter which dynasty in China, this is a major event that is enough to make the people of the world either sigh or clap their hands.

It's just because the eunuchs and relatives both chose to block the news, so until now, as the people at the bottom, they don't know what happened yesterday.

……

"Report-"

In a military camp outside Luoyang City, a high-pitched report broke the silence of the morning, and made He Jin frowned slightly.

"Report to the general, the brothers in the city have just spotted a lot of suspicious figures near your mansion, most of them are fair-faced, clean and beardless people, presumably it should be the one sent to monitor your movements."

"Also outside the city, according to the news from our spies, the roads at Xuanmen Pass, Mengjindu and Xiaopingjindu in the north of Luoyang City have been completely blocked. It's all under martial law!"

"If the news is correct, it seems that all the soldiers guarding the city have received orders from the palace and are now strictly searching the passers-by. Several brothers sent by our side have sent back news, saying that you should Don't run around outside Luoyang for a while."

"The vicinity of the pass is already in the wilderness. If you meet Shi Chang's servants there, you may be in big trouble!"

……

In a barracks outside Luoyang City, He Jin was drinking a bowl of warm tea, listening to the report of the soldier in front of him a little tiredly.

It was still early, and apart from the guards guarding the camp, many soldiers were still resting, so the entire barracks seemed a little silent.

Listening to the young voice of the soldier in front of him, He Jin sat cross-legged in the camp, sipping tea and sighing inwardly.

……

PS: I would like to ask everyone an embarrassing question, that is, when you subscribe, there will be insufficient coins for signing in to order a large chapter, so do you prefer to subscribe to a small chapter?

Today I met a friend who is an author. It seems that if you post a large chapter with more than 4000 words, the grade will be worse than the small chapter?

Chapter 68 Ding Yuan's Little Thoughts

"Oh, I see."

"You go down first."

Sitting firmly behind the tent, He Jin subconsciously frowned after hearing what the soldier said.

It's just that when he thinks about his current situation, he doesn't have anything to say.

Gently waving his hand towards the other party, He Jin signaled the soldier to step back for now, and then looked at the mountains and rivers in the distance outside the tent door, his whole body became a little dazed, not knowing what he was thinking.

……

It can be seen from the facial expression that He Jin's eyes are straight at this moment, the eye sockets show a faint black-blue color, and the hand holding the teacup is also trembling slightly, obviously he did not rest well last night.

After he left the palace yesterday afternoon, he did not go to the General's Mansion as most people expected, but rushed straight into the barracks under his command before everyone could react.

At that time, He Jin didn't know why he did this, but he just vaguely felt that even the General's Mansion couldn't bring him enough sense of security.

And the facts proved that his premonition was right.

Not even half an hour had passed since he arrived at the barracks, the entire Grand General's Mansion was being followed by a large number of spies from the palace.

Even if Zhang Rang didn't mobilize the army directly to surround the mansion, if he was really exposed to the other party's surveillance all the time, it would undoubtedly make He Jin's situation more difficult.

Until now, the entire city of Luoyang has almost been divided into a big dumpling with three layers inside and three layers outside by the forces of the two.

Whether it is Zhang Rang, who is in the position of dumpling stuffing, or He Jin, who is in the position of dumpling skin, they are constantly thinking about how to break through the defense and blockade of the opponent, and eradicate the hostile forces from the land of Luoyang as safely as possible.

When things have developed to this point, the original mutual checks and balances and restrictions are already a thing of the past.
