Chapter 265: The Jade Seal of the Kingdom

Cao Cao and Wang Yun realized that something was wrong, so they immediately took the ministers and the Yulin Army out of the palace. The palace was in chaos. The Yulin Army lasted for a while at the beginning, but as the time spent in the palace extended, the Yulin Army's eyes also turned red!

Now that the chaos is so in this way, even if the palace is moved, no one will pursue it. The Yulin Army is also a human being, and greed is not necessarily less than that of the county soldiers. How can we not use it if we have the opportunity!

This time, Cao Cao could not restrain the army. Lu Bu could not restrain the county soldiers just now, but now he could not restrain the Yulin Army. The county soldiers were disobedient, and the Yulin Army could suppress it, but once the Yulin Army became in chaos, how could there be any army that could suppress them!

Cao Cao and Wang Yun ran out of the palace gate, but when they looked back, they saw that there were only dozens of soldiers and generals following behind them, and half of the ministers were lost, and they didn't know what they were doing!

Cao Cao was shocked and said, "Mr. Wang, are we just leaving the city like this? The soldiers and generals can't gather!"

Wang Yun's face turned red and said, "Man's calculations are not as good as God's calculations. Who can control them under the treasures?"

Cao Cao swallowed a mouthful of saliva and wanted to ask the generals to come in and send orders to the Yulin Army to come out soon, but he knew that this was useless. The Yulin Army was so angry that he could stop. If he grabbed a few people who were robbed, he would be shocked, and he would probably not have the effect of killing chickens and terrorizing monkeys. Maybe it would trigger a mutiny in the Yulin Army. After all, it is not on the battlefield now, but robbing things. Without the pressure of foreign enemies, the Yulin Army would not be scared!

Cao Cao said, "What should I do? I'm afraid the situation will be uncontrollable. We only recruited less than half of the Yulin Army, and the other half is still coming here. When they arrive, they will still rob property. I am afraid that in a short while, the idle people in the city will enter the palace to rob it. We can no longer protect the palace!"

Wang Yun heard that Cao Cao's meaning was that he was afraid that the Han Dynasty's palace would be destroyed by soldiers and untouchables. This would be like to tear off the last fig leaf of the Han court. It would not only be the royal face, but they were all the ministers who were also dull!

Wang Yun understood what Cao Cao meant, but Cao Cao just didn't dare to say it! He said with a sneer and said, "Meng De, at this time, what else can I take into account? If you want my Han Dynasty's palace not to be destroyed by the hands of the untouchables, then burn the palace... However, only Li Qin can do such evil things!"

Cao Cao immediately understood that Wang Yun was going to burn the palace. Anyway, they expected Li Qin would go to Beijing immediately and evacuate the palace with them, that is, the matter behind the feet. It would be better to just blame Li Qin for burning the palace on Li Qin's head. In the future, this would be another sin when attacking Li Qin. As soon as the palace was burned, the Yulin Army would naturally come out, and those who arrived later would not go in again.

Cao Cao nodded and said, "Mr. Wang said very well. Only Li Qin can do such evil things!" He ordered his generals to enter the palace to pass on orders and set fire to the palace.

The generals agreed loudly and rushed into the palace gate again. It was difficult to send other orders, but the order to set fire was not required to shout loudly. As long as you hold a torch and set fire everywhere, it would be possible. In the midst of chaos, when the Yulin Army saw someone setting fire openly, they would also set it up!

Wang Yun shouted to the ministers: "My dear sirs, the capital can no longer stay. You should go back and clean up the fine and take your family out of the city to take refuge. If you can trust General Cao and me, then we will gather outside the city and walk north together, and there will be another army of ours there!"

The other army he mentioned was another Han army that suppressed the Yellow Turban Army, which was alongside Huangfu Song. However, because there were fewer people and were not the main force, the Yellow Turban Army did not start a war and suffered no losses. He planned to find that army.

The ministers looked at the palace where the fire was just beginning, turned to look at Wang Yun and Cao Cao, and sighed together that the Han court had come to this point, which was not what they wanted to see, but what could it be? They were no longer able to control the situation and could save their lives and their families. It was a blessing in disgrace! They said goodbye to Wang Yun and Cao Cao, and the ministers left one after another and returned to their own houses!

Riding on the horse, Wang Yun stood beside Cao Cao. He saw Cao Cao's waist straight, holding the reins tightly with his hands, and there was no expression on his face. The firelight shone on his face. He found that Cao Cao had tears in his eyes! Wang Yun sighed in his heart. Cao Cao had feelings and righteousness on the surface, but in fact... things are unpredictable! But Li Qin claimed to be the most righteous Li Lang, but what kind of person was he actually?

More than a hundred miles west of Luoyang, the Fujiao Army camp.

In the central army's tent, Li Qin sat in the middle, Jia Xu sat in the lower head, and the generals on both sides accompanied him.

Li Qin smiled and said, "Brother-in-law, you came so fast. Thank you for your hard work on the road? Can everything be settled in Chang'an?"

Jia Xu smiled and said, "It's not hard work, I'm happy. When I feel so happy, I can't feel tired!"

Li Qin laughed and nodded, "Yes, when we were scrambling in Fuping County, we didn't expect that today we would actually bring our army to this imperial capital. At that time, even going to Fuping County felt that it was a great event!"

When he smiled like this, the generals laughed together. For them, it would be fine to lead troops to fight. The soldiers were just fighting. There was nothing surprising about fighting in all directions, but the place where they went to fight was the imperial capital of the Han Dynasty, and they were still shocked, which made them very proud. They never lived in vain in their life. Even the doorstep of the emperor's house was blocked by them. When they were old, bragging with their grandson was definitely the first thing to brag!

Jia Xu said: "The matter in Chang'an is not as difficult as imagined. The newly appointed officials are very motivated to do things and don't need to worry too much. Otherwise, I wouldn't have come immediately as soon as I receive your letter."

Li Qin nodded, asked someone to take out the map and hang it up. He said, "I drove the ministers back. They will definitely take revenge. They will use the power of the aristocratic family to recruit soldiers and horses to fight me. Brother-in-law, tell me where will their army gather and launch an attack on us?"

Jia Xu only glanced at the map and said, "Don't worry about these things. Although they are all high-powered ministers, we still need to take some consideration when they come one by one, but if they come together, they will be a mob, so there is no need to worry!"

Li Qin smiled and said, "I think so too, so I let them go back and let them all come, I'll wait!"

Jia Xu said: "Is it useful to form a coalition of these ministers? We just need to look at their attitude towards the Yellow Turban Thief! If they are brave, firm and united, they will definitely attack the Yellow Turban Thief. First, they will be the only one who is so naughty, Zhang Jiao, and then they will turn to attack us. This is to be devoted to the public and for the Han court!"

The generals said together: "This is impossible. No matter how you look at the ministers, you don't seem to be united. If they each have their own troops, they will have to argue endlessly. How could they unite and attack us!"

Jia Xu clapped his hands and said, "So, don't worry about anything. They will definitely not fight the Yellow Turban thieves, they will just hide aside and watch the fun, waiting to see us fight the Yellow Turban thieves, and they will also say proudly that this is called watching the tiger fight in the mountains. When we and the Yellow Turban thieves are fighting each other, they will definitely be injured. Their people just need to get a bargain!"

Li Qin nodded and said, "It's very likely!"

Jia Xu said: "We have to fight the Yellow Turban thieves ourselves. We also have to guard against the coalition's sneak attacks. In the future, we will probably not be able to fight!"

Li Qin smiled and said, "The soldiers come and the generals block the water comes and the soil comes and cover it. There is no need to worry too much about what has not happened!"

Jia Xu and the generals were talking. While they were talking, a scout came to report that he had found a group of people running towards the barracks on the road to Beijing, and saw that there were eunuchs in the costumes.

Li Qin was shocked and said, "There are eunuchs? Or a large group? It seems that something happened in the palace!"

Jia Xu shouted, "Are they all eunuchs? Are there any people wearing dragon robes? Where are the women, are there any women?"

The scout shook his head and said, "I didn't see it, it seems that there is nothing. They are about to arrive. Should they go to welcome it or catch it?"

To go to welcome or arrest, it is a very important point, which is a completely opposite attitude. If you go to welcome, it means that in the struggle in the court, Li Qin was standing on the side of Zhang Rang and the Ten Eunuchs, that was to go against the ministers. To be honest, it was against He Jin and against the prince. No one here in the Fujiao Army knew that He Jin was dead, so this decision was really not easy. To go to arrest, it would be equivalent to taking the blame. The eunuchs came to find Li Qin at such a critical moment. It was obvious that they had lost the battle, otherwise why would they come? At this moment, if Li Qin thought about it for his own sake, he arrested the eunuch and expressed friendship to the "victorious side", that is, He Jin, which is a self-protection. Although it is not good enough to Zhang Rang and others, what if it is like this, the party struggle is the case. Whoever has the power in the court will help the local generals. Could it be that they will still help the losers?

The successful one becomes the king, the defeated one becomes the enemy, and this has been the case since ancient times!

All the generals in the account were silent. Now it was time to stand in the team. They could not make noises to avoid affecting Li Qin's decision!

Jia Xu picked up the pen and wrote a word in his hand, then looked at Li Qin. The words written on his hand were his attitude towards Zhang Rang and other eunuchs. He did not say it in advance, but waited to see Li Qin's attitude, and then verify whether he guessed correctly!

Li Qin smiled slightly and said to the scout: "Why should I arrest you? Someone comes to vote for me. If I arrest you, who will come to vote in the future? Li Lang is the most righteous. You shout every day. Why do you think that I will be unrighteous at this critical moment? "

Jia Xu also smiled, he opened his palm, and the word he just wrote was "Wing"! He said, "Aqin, it's true that he is righteous. Zhang Rang and He Jin, one palace and one dynasty, the two factions are fighting endlessly. Now it seems that Zhang Rang is at a disadvantage, but he has helped us in the end, and now Zhang Qin is also taking care of us in Bingzhou. If we arrest the people sent by Zhang Rang, we will probably suffer endless troubles. Luoyang is not yet determined, and Bingzhou is in chaos again!"

Li Qin shook his head and said, "I don't think as much as you think. I owe Zhang Rang the favor I have not paid back so far. If he is in danger, even if He Jin is in great influence, I will still want to help Zhang Rang. Whatever others say, and what others like to say!"

He waved his hand to Xu Xiaoni and said, "Go to welcome me. When you see the eunuchs coming, you will be very happy to treat them to me!"

Xu Xiaoni agreed and immediately left the account!

The generals started to discuss it. No one knew what happened in the palace, but they all began to speculate whether He Jin killed Zhang Ran or put him under house arrest, otherwise the Ten General Assistant could not be so anxious!

Jia Xu thought for a while, but said, "I don't think things are so simple. Could it be that the emperor is critically ill? Think about it, the emperor calls Zhang Rang Zhang Dafu, and his feelings are not very deep. To put it bluntly, as long as the emperor is fine, then Zhang Rang will definitely be fine. But now Zhang Rang is anxious, wouldn't that mean that the emperor is in trouble? What can the emperor do? It can only be sick. Could someone threaten him? Then He Jin is a person, but he is just a son of a butcher. He is from a small family and has great ambitions. At most, he can expect his nephew to inherit the throne and become a regent general. In addition, do you also expect such a person to be Wang Mang?"

Li Qin nodded and said, "Yes, I guess it's the same. But the emperor... some words are not something that we are ministers can say!"

Jia Xu yelled, and the generals laughed. Everyone took over Chang'an. The old capital of the Han Dynasty became a thing in his hands. He came with the order, but he stationed troops here. He had done all this and what else could he say!

Li Qin and Jia Xu looked at the map, waiting for Xu Xiaoni to give back.

Not long after, I heard the sound of horse hooves coming from the camp. The sound of horse hooves did not stop until outside the tent. Then a scout rushed into the tent and shouted: "Li Lang, something big is not good. The emperor has passed away. The ten eunuchs were beaten out of the palace with the emperor's third son. The palace has been lost. Zhang Rang was also injured. It was not the one he sent, but he came in person!"

Li Qin was shocked, jumped up and shouted, "What, the emperor has passed away? Where is the prince, then He Jin?"

The scout gasped and said, "I don't know, but before I can ask, General Xu is here to go to the camp, and I will come back to report the news first!"

Li Qin shouted, "Follow me to welcome me, follow me to welcome me!" At this time, he didn't care about anything else and had to go to see Zhang Rang quickly. The emperor passed away. At such an emergency, the sky of the Han Dynasty collapsed!

Everyone followed him, and all ran out of the tent, jumped onto the horses together to pick up Zhang Rang. Li Qin commanded a team of scouts and asked Wu Danzi to lead him to the road and prepare to fight the pursuers. If the army from Beijing came out to chase Zhang Rang, Li Qin told Wu Danzi not to be lenient, kill as much as he came, and never let the pursuers approach Zhang Rang!

After running seven or eight miles in one breath, he saw the horse team in front of him. There were so many people, including all kinds of clothes, some wearing eunuchs' clothes and ordinary people's clothes. He couldn't tell what his identity was. He was all gathered together anyway. But when he got closer, Li Qin looked at him and knew that these people were all eunuchs. No matter what clothes they were wearing, they were all needless people. I thought they had changed their clothes to escape from the palace!

Li Qin shouted, "Where is Zhang Zhongguan? Li Qin is here, don't panic!"

"Where is our family here? Is Li Lang?" Zhang Rang screamed. He was injured by an arrow on his shoulder and was shot by Lu Bu. His body was still well, but after the injury, he was not bandaged enough and he ran all the way. The wound was so painful that he couldn't even ride a horse, so he had to ride with a little eunuch.

When Li Qin heard the shout, he jumped off his horse and shouted: "Zhang Zhongguan, Zhang Zhongguan, what's wrong with you?"

Zhang Rang and Li Qin had never met each other, but they didn't need to introduce others and recognized each other at once. Li Qin ran to Zhang Rang, and Zhang Rang tilted his side and got off the horse. Li Qin quickly helped each other. Seeing Zhang Rang's blood-stained robe, he hurriedly said, "Zhang Zhongguan, are you injured? Who is the bold and arrogant person who dares to hurt you? Qin will mobilize his troops to avenge you!"

No matter what misunderstandings or suspicions were there before, Li Qin calmed Zhang Rang's heart after just a few words when he met. He said, "Li Lang is the most righteous, and the world will not deceive me!" As he said, Zhang Rang's tears fell.

Just on the road, Li Qin checked Zhang Rang's wounds. When he saw the arrow wound, he said, "Fortunately, it was not a wolf-tooth arrow. The arrow was not poisonous, and it was not damaged. It was just a skin and flesh injury. Don't worry, Qin has the best knife wound medicine and bandage it for you. The injury will be cured in less than a few days!"

Jia Xu also ran over, helped Li Qin and treated Zhang Rang's wound!

Li Qin said: "Zhang Zhongguan, please ride Qin's horse. Qin will lead you to avoid the horse running too fast and then pulling your wounds!" As he said that, he was about to help Zhang and let his war horse go, and he pulled the reins in front.

This time, not only Zhang Rang was moved, but also the other ten regular attendants were greatly moved. They came forward to greet Li Qin and brought the third son Liu Xie over to him and asked him to kowtow to Li Qin and called Li Qin as his uncle!

When Li Qin saw the child who was sobbing with disheveled hair, he thought to himself: "Is this the future Emperor Xian of Han? Oh, why is it so embarrassing!"

He hugged Liu Xie and said, "Little Prince..."

Zhang Rang hurriedly said: "It is the new crown prince. Before the emperor passed away, he appointed him as the new crown prince. The prince, it would be great if he saw your uncle this time. He will definitely help you ascend the throne!"

Jia Xu said aside: "Has the crown prince been renamed? Does the emperor have an edict to pass on the throne?"

Zhang Rang was stunned and said, "Yes, yes..." But when he touched his body, he didn't know where the fake edict was thrown. However, he whispered: "I'm afraid I'm thrown on the road, but it doesn't matter. Let's write another edict to pass on the throne. Our family will write it myself, so there will be as much as you want. There is no need to worry about the edict!"

At this time, another eunuch took a box from his back, opened the lid, and light immediately radiated from the box. The eunuch said, "Li Lang, look, the imperial seal is here. Whoever has a jade seal is orthodox. Even if the deposed prince is disobedient, he must accept his fate!"

Li Qin trembled with his hands, took the box and looked at the imperial seal in the box. This is the Heshi Bi? He flipped over the jade seal and saw that the seal was engraved with eight seal characters "I will live forever." There was a corner missing from the jade seal, and it was supplemented with gold!

All the generals surrounded him, stretched his neck, opened his mouth wide, and stared at the imperial seal in Li Qin's hand. Everyone was breathing heavily, but they couldn't speak!

Li Qin's muscles twitched on his face and couldn't help it. After a while, he turned his head and looked at Liu Xie. This was the little emperor. He looked down at the jade seal again. This was the treasure of the country!

Swallowed, Li Qin said: "Send an order to assemble the army and enter Beijing!"
Chapter completed!
