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

As a middleman, Liu Zhaoqing would not comment on He Jin in front of Zhang Rang. He just took out a letter from his pocket and handed it to Zhang Rang to complete his task.

Zhang Rang took it, opened it, read it once, and then put it aside with an expressionless face.

"Do you want to know what's in the letter?" he suddenly asked Liu Zhaoqing.

Without waiting for Liu Zhaoqing to reply, Zhang Rang continued, "He Jin wants us to hand over His Majesty so that he can take care of him and recuperate."

"Isn't it ridiculous? How dare a butcher want to hold the emperor hostage?"

"It took us a lot of energy to save His Majesty's life. If we leave it to that idiot, His Majesty will never wake up."

Zhang Rang naturally would not agree, so this was a declaration of war.

Then, Zhang Rang looked at Liu Zhaoqing again and said, "You should have a second letter in your arms, right?"

"..."

"Don't be afraid. I am not He Jin, but I can guess that the letter is addressed to Queen He. I can even guess the content of the letter. He Jin wants the Queen to issue an imperial edict to attack us, so that he can have a 'legitimate reason'."

Zhang Rang was indeed smart. Liu Zhaoqing was able to guess the content of the letter because "history can provide a mirror for us." However, Zhang Rang was clearly a player in the game, but he was able to see through the entire game, which showed his extraordinary wisdom.

"What should Lord Zhang do?" Liu Zhaoqing asked after thinking for a while.

"There is no need to do anything, because He Jin only thinks about himself and doesn't care about the queen. How could he know that Queen He cares about Your Majesty more than we do." Zhang Rang said lightly.

This means that Empress He actually had the same goal as Zhang Rang and others, which was to try their best to make Liu Hong get better.

If that were the case, he would naturally not agree to He Jin, even though He Jin was his biological brother.

Liu Zhaoqing's mind became clear, and he then looked at Liu Hong who was lying on the couch.

"Master Zhang, do you know when His Majesty will...wake up?"

Zhang Rang was silent for a moment and shook his head.

"Although we have used the Millennium Beast Pill and other precious elixirs to save your life, we don't know when your majesty will wake up. It could be the next second, or tomorrow, or maybe..."

Zhang Rang paused for a moment, then shook his head slightly, and said to Liu Zhaoqing: "...Marquis Changping, please give me the letter to the queen. You, Wang Yun, Lu Zhi and others are all loyal to the Han Dynasty. Your Majesty understands this, and so do we."

"So in the next fight, I just hope you won't help He Jin. He is not a wise leader. Even if he defeats me, he will still lose."

There was no need to doubt the truthfulness of Zhang Rang's words because Liu Zhaoqing knew they were all true.

Afterwards, Liu Zhaoqing handed over the letter and left.

Zhang Rang did not read the letter again. Instead, he looked at Liu Hong lying on the bed, sighed softly, and a trace of sadness appeared in his eyes.

"Is it really so hard to defy fate..."

"Report."

At this time, an elite soldier came outside the curtain.

"Didn't I tell you to keep quiet?" Zhang Rang's calm voice was filled with coldness.

The soldier knelt down in fear and said in a trembling voice, "My lord... yes, it is the life-saving method you are looking for."

"Huh? A way to save lives?" Zhang Rang was stunned.

"Hasn't it been less than half a day since I sent it out? Have you found a solution so quickly?"

"Yes, there is a man from Henei who claims to have a method that can revive the emperor, but he needs to see you in person."

Zhang Rang hesitated for a moment and immediately said, "Hurry and have him come to see me."

-

When leaving the palace, Liu Zhaoqing unexpectedly met Lu Zhi.

As Zhang Rang said, Lu Zhi, as a great Confucian scholar of Liu Zhaoqing's "Han-loving" school, was not troubled by Zhang Rang.

Enemies and friends will transform into each other in the face of different interests.

However, Liu Zhaoqing and Lu Zhi both felt that the Ten Attendants could not be friends, so after returning to Wang Yun's residence and meeting with Zheng Xuan and others who had rushed over.

Everyone also agreed that they should sit back and watch the fight between the two tigers.

He Jin thought that he had an incredible advantage by forming an alliance with the Yuan family, and began to think about directly overthrowing the Ten Attendants.

Although his advisers all thought it was not feasible, He Jin felt that he would definitely succeed, and no one knew where this confidence came from.

Then the great scholars asked Liu Zhaoqing what the emperor's condition was like when he met him.

Liu Zhaoqing was silent for a moment, then described the appearance of Liu Hong that he had seen.

The great scholars fell silent after hearing this, as they all knew that this was not good news.

There are many doctors with superb medical skills in the palace, and there are countless effective medicines and miraculous drugs. The fact that Liu Hong has not yet woken up is very telling.

After returning to the mansion, Liu Zhaoqing briefly repeated the story to Xun Yu, who remained silent.

Later, Liu Zhaoqing received news from Lu Zhi that He Jin was furious in the General's Mansion and killed more than a dozen slaves.

The reason was very simple. Perhaps the news of Queen He's refusal had reached his ears.

If history had continued to unfold, before long He Jin would, under the advice of Yuan Shao...now Yuan Shu, issue a summons to all the princes to come to the king's defense.

Liu Zhaoqing thought so, and even based on their understanding of He Jin's character who valued absolute power, the great scholars and Xun Yu also speculated so.

However, the next day, something unexpected happened.

Emperor Liu Hong——woke up.

-

Liu Zhaoqing couldn't believe it, Xun Yu couldn't believe it, and almost everyone didn't expect Liu Hong to wake up.

But when the morning court was held, Emperor Liu Hong was full of energy and did not even need the help of Zhang Rang and Zhao Zhong. He walked up to the dragon throne by himself and announced the morning court with a dignified look.

All the ministers were shocked and surprised, but He Jin just bowed his head pale and shouted "Long live the emperor".

Next, Liu Hong changed his face and pardoned Wang Li's sins, saying that the River Map was just a piece of wood and the prosperity of the Han Dynasty depended on the monarch, his ministers and the people.

Then the next day, Liu Hong continued to order the reuse of wise ministers such as Lu Zhi and Wang Yun, and ordered the counties around the Yellow River to actively deal with the refugees and plague caused by the Yellow River chaos, and those who were negligent would be severely punished.

Then on the third day, the emperor listened to Wang Yun's suggestion and planned to start re-measuring the land across the country. At the suggestion of Lu Zhi and others, he led the refugees to sparsely populated areas and summoned outstanding people to transform the land so that the people could settle down. The emperor was also reconsidering whether the system of provincial governors was correct.

During these three days, Liu Hong acted like a wise ruler.

Many people seemed to get to know the king all over again, and many even felt like they were living in a dream.

But this is indeed the reality.

However, on the night of the fourth day.

A terrifying roar echoed from the harem throughout Luoyang.

That night, Lu Zhi, Wang Yun, He Jin and Yuan Wei were summoned by the emperor to enter the palace.

Without even saying hello, they were led directly to the emperor's bedroom by palace attendants.

The next morning, a piece of news spread from the palace to the homes of important officials.

"Your Majesty is about to die..."

how come?

All the ministers did not believe the news and thought it must be a rumor as His Majesty had looked so healthy three days ago.

However, until that evening, there was a rumor that "Your Majesty was like this because the Ten Eunuchs used a trick to poison Your Majesty."

The Ten Eunuchs did not respond to this rumor at all, which also shows that this rumor seems to be... true.

On that day, everyone in Luoyang, whether they were civil officials, military generals, or ordinary people, were filled with anger and condemnation of the Ten Eunuchs.

And just one day later, on the evening of March 3, a manifesto was issued from the General's Mansion.

Then a word spread throughout Luoyang at night.

"Loyalty to the king, punish the eunuchs! Return Han to heaven!"

Hearing the shouts from the sky outside, Liu Zhaoqing in the room inside the mansion exhaled slowly.

This moment has come.

He put on light armor and inserted the water-repellent sword into the sword ring.

Then he thought for a moment, took out an exquisite black box from the cabinet beside him, opened it and saw the gray sword tassel inside. He picked it up and tied it to the hilt.

Tonight, I am destined to have no sleep.

Chapter 103: Serving the King and Punishing the Eunuch Party

Instead of going through the front door, Liu Zhaoqing went out through the window on the other side of the house.

But as soon as he landed, he saw a figure in white standing there.

"Wen Ruo?"

Liu Zhaoqing was slightly surprised. He didn't expect Xun Yu to be waiting for him here, and he guessed that he would quietly walk out from here.

"Wang Yun, Cai Yong and Mr. Zheng have all strongly advised you and me to stay in the mansion and wait until the sun rises tomorrow morning." Xun Yu looked at Liu Zhaoqing and spoke softly.

"This night, Luoyang will surely be in great trouble..."

"I have some things to take care of..." Liu Zhaoqing said only this after thinking for a while.

"I know." Xun Yu nodded, then shook his head and smiled slightly.

"I'm not here to stop you, Zhao Qing."

"Although I have had enough food and clothing since I was a child and have never experienced the hunger of the hard-working people, I have also seen the suffering of the people of the world, the disasters of disasters and chaos, and I know that working behind closed doors cannot change the current situation. Only by participating in this struggle and gaining real merit and results can I achieve your majesty's ambition."

"This is a disaster for the Han Dynasty, but also a good opportunity for heroes to achieve great things."

"Yu, I believe that the prosperity and peace of the world will begin with Qingjun's return."

Xun Yu bowed and saluted Liu Zhaoqing. When she slowly stood up, the slogans of "Return the Han to Heaven" outside seemed to block out the sky under the cold moonlight, but they could not cover up the firm light in her eyes.

Seeing this look, Liu Zhaoqing wanted to return the favor, but in the end he did not do so and accepted Xun Yu's expectations which were heavier than Mount Tai.

Liu Zhaoqing smiled and said with certainty: "Wen Ruo will see me return victorious tomorrow."

After saying that, Liu Zhaoqing jumped up and landed on a tree trunk nearby. Then he stepped on the wall and jumped out of Xun Yu's sight.

-

The purpose of "quietly" leaving Xun Mansion was to prevent others from catching any evidence so that they could falsely accuse Xun Yu of participating in the fight.

Just as Xun Yu said, even if such a big change happened in Luoyang, most people would choose to protect themselves.

When two tigers fight, one of them will be injured, but the caracal won't be able to pick up food nearby.

If you stand on the wrong side in such a struggle, the consequences may very likely be stripping of your official title or even the extermination of your entire family.

Great Confucian scholars such as Zheng Xuan and Cai Yong were not like Liu Zhaoqing. They had many things to consider and had more concerns.

So this night, Liu Zhaoqing could only rely on his own strength to find an opportunity to achieve success in this Luoyang catastrophe.

Fortunately, he was not alone this time.

Walking forward along the path beside Xun Mansion, Liu Zhaoqing leaned against a cramped corner, holding onto the damp and cold wall. After a team of elite soldiers holding torches passed by, he spoke to the darkness beside him.

"Meng De, let's go."

"You knew I was coming?" a surprised voice came from the darkness.

"I know now."

"..."

Liu Zhaoqing contacted Cao Cao and Yuan Shao this morning. Although Cao Cao and Yuan Shao were both great Confucian scholars, they were from noble or famous families.

But these two Liu Zhaoqings are very clear that they have great ambitions and will definitely not miss such an opportunity tonight.

Like Liu Zhaoqing, Cao Cao was only wearing light armor, with the short sword on his waist held in a white jade sword holder fixed on his belt. Although she didn't even wear a head armor, Liu Zhaoqing obviously didn't need to worry about her.

Cao Cao is a man of extraordinary talent, and his intelligence is higher than that of Liu Zhaoqing, which is why Liu Zhaoqing cannot see his attributes now.

Instead, Cao Cao said that although Liu Zhaoqing's outfit was light, it might not be able to withstand greater danger.

Liu Zhaoqing also explained that no matter how thick the armor was, it could not withstand the attack of Di Zi Ren Jie, so it was better to go into battle lightly.

"Isn't Benchu ​​with you?" Liu Zhaoqing and Cao Cao walked together on the streets of Luoyang.

"The Yuan family is now on He Jin's side, but she is not interested in this. She should need some preparation before she can come out alone. Instead of telling her about your plan, I will tell her about it. If she can leave the Yuan family team and come over, she should be able to find us easily." Cao Cao replied.
