The Three Kingdoms: My Wife is a Great and Good Teacher

But he told them a rather shocking news.

"The historian Wang Li was thrown into death row."

Cai Yong did not say the reason, but Liu Zhaoqing and Xun Yu were looking at the altar at the time, and they understood that Wang Li must have been imprisoned because of the collapse of the River Map.

Although the River Map would have collapsed anyway and had nothing to do with it, at this time, the court, Luoyang and even the entire Han Dynasty needed an explanation.

Wang Li was unlucky enough to become the one to take the blame.

Liu Zhaoqing and Xun Yu had just come out of Cai Yong's mansion when they met a familiar friend.

"Yuan Shao?" Liu Zhaoqing wanted to ask something when he saw Yuan Shao coming over.

But at this time Xun Yu suddenly pulled down his clothes, and Liu Zhaoqing noticed that Yuan Shao brought a dozen soldiers with him.

"Captain Yuan...what do you mean?" Xun Yu asked.

"Miss Xun, please don't misunderstand. I'm not here to arrest anyone." Yuan Shao shook his head and looked at Liu Zhaoqing: "My uncle, the Grand Tutor Yuan Wei, wants to see Zhaoqing."

"Then shall we go to Yuan Mansion now?"

"No." Yuan Shao shook his head again, then said, "My uncle is in the general's mansion now."

"what?"

Xun Yu and Liu Zhaoqing's expressions changed slightly.

At this moment, Yuan Wei, the Grand Tutor and the head of the Yuan family, one of the Three Dukes and a prestigious aristocratic family, was actually in the General's Mansion.

This is certainly not a coincidence.

No wonder Yuan Shao looked so unhappy. The Yuan family, which represented the interests of the gentry, was about to join forces with He Jin at this time.

After thinking for a while, Xun Yu took the initiative to ask: "What do you want to do with Zhao Qing regarding the matter between the Yuan family and the general?"

"Because we need a middleman to talk to the Ten Attendants."

I'm afraid things are not that simple.

Liu Zhaoqing was silent for a moment, then nodded.

He has already been in the vortex and it is impossible for him to remain immune.

Instead of running around like a headless fly at this time, it is better to take the branches handed over by these two forces and explore the current situation.

Liu Zhaoqing represents more than just himself at this time, so there is no need to worry too much about his personal safety.

Together with Yuan Shao, he quickly came to the general's mansion under the protection of several fierce soldiers.

Even the door of the General's Mansion was closed at this time. He Jin must have fought with the Ten Attendants for a long time last night.

After entering the room, Yuan Shao said to Liu Zhaoqing: "I don't know what exactly I want you to do, but my uncle was able to get in touch with He Jin because of my brother Yuan Shu's help."

"Yuan Shu...his ambitions are immeasurable. You should be careful when dealing with him."

Yuan Shao revealed some information to Liu Zhaoqing. Liu Zhaoqing nodded and thanked him, then went with Yuan Shao into the General's Mansion where they had been once before.

Soon, under the guidance of the servants, Liu Zhaoqing and Yuan Shao came to the guest hall where He Jin met distinguished guests.

As soon as the two entered the door, they saw He Jin toasting the smiling Yuan Wei, and next to Yuan Wei was Yuan Shu in military uniform.

When He Jin saw Liu Zhaoqing and Yuan Shao coming, his eyes lit up.

Then Yuan Shao was seated on the right side of Yuan Wei, and Liu Zhaoqing was seated on the opposite side.

After showing some concern for Liu Zhaoqing, He Jin directly explained the reason why he came to see him.

"The Ten Eunuchs are now in control of the palace government. They have ordered the emperor to stop me from entering the palace, so I need you to go meet the Ten Eunuchs and bring him a letter."

After He Jin finished speaking, he continued, "What Luoyang needs right now is stability. The Grand Tutor just said that there is no benefit in my fight with the Ten Attendants."

It seemed that Liu Zhaoqing was just being asked to be a mediator, which was not a problem. Just as Liu Zhaoqing was about to agree, a flat male voice suddenly sounded.

"Wait a moment." Yuan Shu, who was sitting on the left of Yuan Wei, stood up and looked at He Jin.

"Gong Lu, do you have anything else to say?" He Jin was very friendly towards Yuan Shu. After all, he had won over the Yuan family.

"The general should have more than one letter, right?"

"Oh? How do you mean?" He Jin knew that this must be a good idea from Yuan Shu.

"There is also a letter to the general's sister, Empress He." Yuan Shu said with a smile.

He Jin pondered for a moment and then looked at Chen Lin beside him.

Chen Lin shook her head: "No."

"Brother Kong Zhang, you are the general's chief clerk, and you can't see the current situation? You might as well learn from Kuai Yue and let the general transfer you back home." Yuan Shu snorted coldly.

Chen Lin wanted to say something, but when he looked at He Jin who was thinking, he knew that it would be useless to say anything more, so he sighed.

At this time, Liu Zhaoqing also understood.

This time he was not going to mediate with the Ten Attendants, but to deliver a declaration of war to He Jin.

"I have made up my mind, Marquis Changping. This matter has nothing to do with you. Feel free to deliver the letter. When I succeed, I will reward you with 100,000 kilograms of gold!"

What use does Liu Zhaoqing have for these 100,000 kilograms of gold?

But at this time, Liu Zhaoqing had no choice but to agree, because even if he did not agree, He Jin would do so anyway. It would be better for him to meet the Ten Attendants in person and take this opportunity to ascertain the situation in the palace.

After thanking He Jin, Liu Zhaoqing left the General's Mansion with the two letters, and then walked towards the palace under the guidance of Yuan Shao, the captain of the central army.

The two letters floating in his hands represent the future direction of Luoyang and the Han Dynasty.

Chapter 102 Tonight, Destined to Be Sleepless 4K

When Liu Zhaoqing and Yuan Shao arrived in front of the palace together, the expected obstruction did not happen. Instead, the soldiers guarding the palace took the initiative to make way for Liu Zhaoqing and Yuan Shao after seeing them.

"Yuan Shu leads the Huben Army. After yesterday, the Huben Army will be responsible for and in charge of guarding the outer palace." Yuan Shao explained calmly.

Now that the Yuan family has allied with He Jin, they can naturally come and go without worries in this outer palace.

But since there is an "outer palace", there must be an "inner palace".

After passing through three palace gates, Liu Zhaoqing came to a large square and indeed saw a long "black line" not far away.

Looking closely, it turned out that it was not a "line", but a human wall formed by at least three rows of elite soldiers.

"The Upper Army Captain Jian Shuo was also recently recognized by Zhang Rang as the new eunuch. As the second only to your Majesty's West Garden Captain, his army is composed entirely of outstanding people." Yuan Shao said.

With this layer of protection in place, ordinary people simply cannot enter the inner palace.

However, the military strength that He Jin possesses is definitely more than ten times that of the Ten Eunuchs. The main reason why he still needs Liu Zhaoqing, a third party, to deliver the message is still one reason.

That is: the emperor is still alive.

When Liu Hong was still alive, the words of the Ten Eunuchs could represent the emperor.

No matter how bold He Jin was, he did not dare to actually usurp power, nor could he even show any intention to usurp power.

As long as the sky survives, the Han Dynasty will remain the Han Dynasty, and the emperor will remain the symbol of supremacy.

Since Wang Mang, a relative of the emperor, usurped the Han Dynasty, He Jin, who was also a relative of the emperor, needed to be more cautious in such matters.

Otherwise, when he went against justice and the whole world had a common enemy, He Jin would be killed by everyone.

He Jin wanted to eliminate the Ten Eunuchs at this point in time instead of winning over the hearts of officials and people in the Luoyang court. He was undoubtedly a fool that even the talented Chen Lin could not save.

But he was not so stupid as to forget the principle of "a teacher has a legitimate reason".

While Liu Zhaoqing was thinking, he and Yuan Shao still came to the wall formed by elite soldiers.

"Stop! The captain of the upper army has ordered that the harem is a restricted area, and anyone who trespasses will be killed without mercy!"

Before Liu Zhaoqing and Yuan Shao were even ten meters away from the elite soldiers, they were stopped in their tracks by a loud shout.

"I'm Yuan Shao, the captain of the central army." Yuan Shao introduced himself.

But the leader of the group snorted coldly: "You are just a lackey of He Jin. Lord Jian has already ordered that the Yuan family is not allowed to enter."

Yuan Shao looked at him coldly. If a soldier dared to say that to her, she would have drawn her sword long ago under normal circumstances. But now, she didn't even put her hands on her waist to wear the sword.

She did not have the final say over the Yuan family, which had three generations of officials, and it was not her intention to form an alliance with He Jin, but she was powerless to change the situation.

"I am the Marquis of Changping." Seeing the anger in Yuan Shao's eyes, Liu Zhaoqing immediately stepped forward and spoke.

At this moment, he cannot let his anger ruin the overall situation. Liu Zhaoqing must go in and see what is happening with His Majesty and in the palace.

"Marquis of Changping?" The soldier was puzzled. "Is it that Liu Zhaoqing?"

"Yes, I want to go to the harem to meet the Ten Attendants Zhang Rang and Zhao Zhong." Liu Zhaoqing said.

"Lord Jian is now one of the Ten Eunuchs. You, Marquis of Changping, used a poem to kill two eunuchs. Do you think the adults will see you?" the soldier asked coldly.

Just when the soldiers were about to send Liu Zhaoqing away, a loud shout suddenly came from behind.

"Announce, Marquis Changping enters the palace."

With the imperial edict announced, the soldiers naturally did not dare to stop Liu Zhaoqing.

After nodding to Yuan Shao, Liu Zhaoqing walked in through a gap opened by the soldiers, went up the steps, and passed through an empty hall.

Liu Zhaoqing soon met a eunuch who came to greet him.

"Marquis of Changping?" The eunuch did not have a good look on his face towards Liu Zhaoqing, and there was even obvious hostility in his eyes.

"It's me, who are you?" Liu Zhaoqing nodded neither humbly nor arrogantly.

"My name is high and respected. Come with me so that the Father can see you."

Gao Wang was one of the Ten Attendants, so it was no wonder that he was hostile to Liu Zhaoqing.

Under the leadership of Gao Wang, Liu Zhaoqing passed through corridors and aisles guarded by elite soldiers along the way and soon arrived at the harem.

After winding a few more turns, we arrived in front of a magnificent and gorgeous palace.

"This is His Majesty's bedroom. His Majesty is still resting. Please don't make too much noise when you go in."

Gao Wang's instructions surprised Liu Zhaoqing a little. Zhang Rang was still by the emperor's side.

When he took off his shoes and entered the hall, and walked past several golden curtains fluttering in the wind, he saw Zhang Rang, Zhao Zhong and two other eunuchs waiting on an exquisite golden bed.

The couch was covered with a golden silk quilt, with a white jade pillow as the pillow, and the man with his eyes closed seemed to be asleep. It was Liu Hong.

Liu Zhaoqing noticed that Liu Hong's face was still a little pale, but he was breathing, which meant that at least he was still alive.

"Zhao Zhong, take Guo Sheng and the others to deal with those in the harem who are in collusion with He Jin. I'll chat with the Marquis of Changping for a while."

Seeing Liu Zhaoqing, Zhang Rang turned his head and said to Zhao Zhong.

Zhao Zhong glanced at Liu Zhaoqing, then nodded: "Don't disturb His Majesty."

"nature."

After Zhao Zhong and the other eunuchs left, Zhang Rang sat down beside Liu Hong's couch. He reached out and gently patted Liu Hong's quilt.

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, please wake up soon... The Han Dynasty is still waiting for Your Majesty to revive it. Didn't I hear Your Majesty say yesterday that you wanted to see the prosperous scene contained in the poem of Marquis Changping..."

Zhang Rang was like an elder, taking care of a sick child on the bed, whispering words like nursery rhymes.

Liu Hong had not woken up yet, and Liu Zhaoqing was not an important person, so there was no need for Zhang Rang to pretend to be nice in front of Liu Zhaoqing.

His words were sincere and heartfelt, and his loyalty to Liu Hong seemed... stronger than anyone else's.

"Marquis of Changping."

Zhang Rang slowly looked towards Liu Zhaoqing.

Liu Zhaoqing bowed.

Seeing this, Zhang Rang couldn't help but smile: "You are more patient and wiser than He Jin and others."

"Or, comparing He Jin to you might be insulting you."

"..."

"Did He Jin ask you to deliver the things over?" Zhang Rang asked straight to the point.

"You know?" Liu Zhaoqing was surprised.

"When His Majesty got into trouble yesterday, he was extremely impatient. Last night, he even joined forces with the Tiger Guards and other forces in the palace to massacre the Weiyang Palace." Zhang Rang's eyes were slightly cold and his tone was icy.

"This villain, instead of worrying about your majesty's health, wants to take advantage of this opportunity to seize power. Your majesty chose him as the general because he was stupid and thought he would be easier to control, but you didn't expect him to be so stupid."

In Zhang Rang's eyes, taking advantage of this time to fight for power was a "stupid" act.
