Chapter 121: Entering the Imperial City

Although Wu Fu is upright, he is the one promoted by He Jin after all.

He Jin was quite obedient, and he didn't think that General He Jin would have any unfavorable thoughts to the emperor.

In this way, Liu Zheng and He Jin's men were allowed to enter the palace.

The imperial palace of the Eastern Han Dynasty was built quite magnificently, with bluestone bricks paving the ground, and a winding moat flowing through the front door.

The imperial palace is divided into two palaces, south and north. The two palaces are connected by a complex road covered by roofs, which is seven miles long from north to south. The so-called complex road is three parallel roads, one in the middle, which is the imperial road dedicated to the emperor, and on both sides are the roads that ministers and attendants walk.

There is also a guard every ten steps, standing on the side and holding two sides, which is very powerful. However, Liu Zheng came at night at this time, and there are many fewer guards here.

Nangong existed before the Eastern Han Dynasty. It was originally the city of Xincheng Zhou. After Qin Shihuang destroyed Zhou and unified China, he granted this city to Lu Buwei. Lu Buwei carefully managed it, making the city majestic and magnificent.

Liu Bang, the capital of Luoyang in the Western Han Dynasty, continued to use this city and continuously repaired it to maintain its prosperous scene. By the Eastern Han Dynasty, it was fully renovated and officially became an imperial palace.

There are four Quemen with the same direction and name in the south and north palaces. On both sides of the gate are Zhuque Gate, Canglong Gate is the east, Xuanwu Gate is the north, and Baihu Gate is the west.

The Xuanwu Gate of Nangong is connected to the Suzaku Gate of Beigong. The Suzaku Gate of Nangong is connected to the Pingcheng Gate as the southern main gate of the palace and goes directly to the outside of the city. Because the emperor has traveled many times through the Suzaku Gate, this gate is the most noble and the building is particularly majestic. It is far away from Yanshi, forty-five miles away, and it looks like it is connected to the sky, which can be called a wonder of Luoyang in the Eastern Han Dynasty.

Nangong is a place where the emperor and his staff congratulate the government. The architectural layout is neat and orderly, with palaces and pavilions lined up one after another. The main palace is located on the north and south central axis.

The Beigong is mainly a palace where the emperor and concubines live. Its status is more important than that of the Nangong, so the building is extremely luxurious and elegant.

However, Liu Zheng did not need to go to the Beigong at this time. The emperor summoned He Jin to the evening and had already gone to the Deyang Palace in the Nangong. This was what He Jin told him. He just needed to go to the location of the Deyang Palace and would definitely be able to see the emperor.

The Deyang Palace is located directly in front of the Nangong. Not far from entering the palace gate, you can see a spacious avenue with two pools next to it.

Several rows of patrol soldiers occasionally patrolled here. When they saw more than 2,000 people rushing in in a fierce manner, the patrol soldiers immediately approached Liu Zheng and the others and came to ask who Liu Zheng and the others and why they came to Deyang Palace at this time.

Liu Zheng had no time to explain to these patrol soldiers, and directly ordered his troops to enter the Deyang Palace in the palace.

Although the patrol soldiers had dozens of people, they were killed by Liu Zheng's two thousand men and had no power to resist. They were instantly dispersed by Liu Zheng's men and shouts of killing erupted in the square outside Deyang Hall, which immediately alarmed the entire palace.

The noisy shouts of killing and the sound of weapons handing over caused a stir in the square of Nangong.

At this time, Emperor Ling of Han, who was resting in Deyang Palace, heard the sound, immediately frowned, turned around and asked the eunuch Zhang Rang beside him.

"Zhang Aiqing, what happened outside? Why is it so noisy?"

In fact, Emperor Ling of Han should have already been sleeping and resting at this point, but the momentum of the Yellow Turban Army attacking Luoyang was too great. Even if the palace was very far away from the city gate, the shouts of killing and the light of the fire as it soared into the sky attracted the attention of Emperor Ling of Han in the palace.

That's why Emperor Ling of Han summoned General He Jin to come at this time and asked what happened outside the city. However, General He Jin did not wait, but what was waiting for was Liu Zheng's two thousand soldiers.

The Yellow Turban Army rushed over and rushed to the outside of Deyang Hall without any obstacles.

Zhang Rang accompanied Emperor Ling of Han and waited in the Deyang Hall. He also heard the sound from outside the hall. He was also very curious. However, Emperor Ling of Han did not ask him to go out to observe, so he couldn't take the initiative to go over. At this time, Emperor Ling of Han spoke, and he took his leave and wanted to go outside to find out what had happened.

But just as Zhang Rang walked out of Deyang Hall, he saw a large number of people rushing out of the square with steel swords and spears, approaching outside the Deyang Hall. At this time, Zhang Rang was shocked and realized that something serious had happened. He hurriedly turned around and ran towards Deyang Hall.

"Your Majesty is not good, something big has happened!"

Zhang Rang hurried back to Deyang Hall, preparing to tell Emperor Ling of Han about what happened outside the hall.

I saw that Emperor Ling of Han had already walked out of the hall himself.

Emperor Ling of Han walked slowly with a bloated body, but his pace was very steady. The shouts of killing outside the hall had already made Emperor Ling of Han unable to sit still.

"What's wrong? What happened? Why did so many soldiers suddenly appear here? Where did my palace guards die? "

While Emperor Ling of Han was still confused and panicked, Liu Zheng, who had already arrived at the square outside Deyang Hall, had already seen Emperor Ling of Han walking out of Deyang Hall at a glance.

He immediately shouted at the Yellow Turban Army on both sides.

"The Dog Emperor is there, everyone catch him and don't let him run away!"

Liu Zheng's words immediately made the Yellow Turban Army excited.

The two thousand Yellow Turban Army here immediately rushed towards Deyang Palace, staring at Emperor Ling of Han, and rushed over quickly, wanting to capture Emperor Ling of Han alive.

Liu Zheng did not take the initiative to run over, and did not ask Zhou Cang to take people over at this time. Instead, he turned around and gave another order to Zhou Cang.

"Zhou Cang, come here, I have something important to tell you!"

Zhou Cang was about to rush out and follow the left and right troops to capture Emperor Ling of Han alive, but suddenly heard Liu Zheng's orders, he immediately turned around and turned to approach Liu Zheng.

"Ship Qu, please give me instructions if you have any questions!"

At this time, Zhou Cang was admiring Liu Zheng and had no objection to Liu Zheng. If Liu Zheng asked him to go south, he would never go north. After all, he could kill all the way from Hulao Pass to the imperial city, and relying only two thousand people to deceive He Jin, kill to the palace, and was about to capture the emperor.

Zhou Cang is famous for all ages. Oh no, it is a great cause that has been infamous for thousands of years to succeed. Zhou Cang naturally has no objection to Liu Zheng.

"You should immediately take some people to Beigong. Remember to catch a prince named Liu Bian, who looks about seven or eight years old, and should live with Empress He. Where is the specific location? Just grab one or two eunuchs and ask, and you should be able to find out whereabouts. After you catch that person, come here immediately to meet me!"
