Chapter 486: The Rebellion of the Deposed Emperor
In this day and age, the king can kill his ministers, and the ministers can also depose the king.
The emperor is not incapable of being deposed, not to mention that Liu Hong, a recognized emperor, still remains on the throne after being indifferent for more than ten years. This can be said to be a miracle.
Now, finally, even the die-hard officials of the Han Dynasty could no longer stand Liu Hong, and the idea of abolishing Liu Hong and establishing a new emperor was recognized by most civil servants in the court.
The trend of deposing the emperor is getting bigger and bigger. In the end, not only the civil servants, but also many military generals agreed. This shows how unpopular Liu Hong is within the Han Dynasty.
The only ones who hold objections are the Shi Changshi Group, the general He Jin who controls military power, and some aristocratic families such as the Yuan family.
The Ten Constant Attendants are Liu Hong's minions, and they are completely dependent on Liu Hong. Once Liu Hong is deposed, they will be the first to die, so the Ten Constant Attendants must hug Liu Hong's legs tightly.
He Jin's nephew Liu Bian is the eldest son of the emperor, but if Liu Hong is deposed, is it possible for Liu Bian to succeed?
For He Jin, the biggest thing is that Liu Bian can successfully succeed to the throne. Anything that prevents Liu Bian from succeeding will destroy the wealth of the He family, so naturally Liu Hong will not be allowed to be deposed.
As for the Yuan family, as the head of the world's aristocratic families, the Yuan family hopes that every generation of the Han Dynasty will be a faint king, otherwise how can they legitimately replace them?
Regarding the proposal to abolish the emperor, the princes from all over the country tacitly chose to wait and see, sitting back and watching the internal fighting in the court.
In the absence of external interference, the deposed emperor, who was originally wanted by the people, was suppressed by the joint efforts of He Jin and other three parties. In the end, it ended in the defeat of the courtiers and the victory of Liu Hong.
This turmoil went away as quickly as it came.
Only the high-ranking officials of the Han Dynasty were affected. Soldiers and civilians did not suffer any losses, but the high-ranking officials of the Han Dynasty were really seriously injured.
During the rebellion of the deposed emperor, loyal ministers were killed, demoted, and escaped...
Nearly one-third of the civil servants were implicated, veteran Cai Yong was demoted to a commoner again, Xu You fled to Bohai to join Yuan Shao, Xun You fled to Yingchuan to join Cao Cao, Yan Xiang fled to Runan to join Yuan Shu, and Sima Fang fled to Bingzhou to join.
Qin Wen and Xun Yu fled to Nanyang...
These were all loyal ministers of the Han Dynasty. They either died under the butcher's knife or were forced out of the court. The remaining officials who controlled the government were naturally treacherous ministers.
Therefore, anyone with a little knowledge can see that the big man has no hope, and many people are beginning to think about their options!
Luoyang, which had finally calmed down, became turbulent again under this purge, which made people panic, but Liu Hong still wanted to cause trouble.
Liu Hong was shocked by the rebellion of the deposed emperor. He also knew that Zhang Jue's body could not be moved, but the nightmare continued. What should we do?
Originally, Liu Hong planned to stay in Luoyang for a year or two and return to Chang'an after stabilizing the situation in Guandong. However, this nightmare really disturbed him, so Liu Hong had to return early.
If I can’t afford to offend you, I can’t afford to hide.
Anyway, the people of Luoyang have lost their support, so Guanzhong is better!
As a result, before leaving, Liu Hong did another stupid thing.
Liu Hong made Lu Zhi the lieutenant general of Sizhou Mu Town, but he made Yang Jian of Dong Zhuo's line the prefect of Hedong and Li Yuan the prefect of Hanoi.
Dong Zhuo's proactive strategy of retaining troops made Liu Hong mistakenly think that he was a loyal minister, so that he actually made such a huge mistake.
In this way, Dong Zhuo's forces officially entered Sizhou. Together with Li Shimin's five major armies, the strength of Dong Zhuo's group in Sizhou was even greater than that of Lu Zhi, the state pastor.
After defeating the Yellow Turbans, Dahan had a good hand, but he was defeated by Liu Hong, and the situation where the imperial court was weak and the princes were strong was completely unstoppable.
Zhang Jue's body was originally going to be buried, but it was delayed because Liu Hong refused to give it, and Liu Hong didn't say whether to bury it before leaving. As a result, Zhang Jue's body was left to rot in Luoyang.
The news finally spread, and the soldiers learned that the great virtuous master's body could not rest in peace, and they immediately became passionate and wanted justice.
After the Battle of Sizhou, the total number of Yellow Turban surrender troops was more than 600,000, and 100,000 of them were confidants of Chen Youliang and other surrender officials. Therefore, the Han returned these prisoners to Chen Youliang and others, and used them to control the Ming Dynasty.
.
The remaining 500,000 people were detained separately in various places in Sizhou. After all, the Han Dynasty suffered a lot of losses and needed to supplement its troops. Absorbing this part of the surrendered troops was the best choice. Of course, the selection must be cautious and cautious.
Originally, the Yellow Turban prisoners of war were dissatisfied. After all, it was not a disgraceful way for the big men to defeat them. But after the news of Zhang Jiao's body came out, all the prisoners of war in the prisoner of war camps in Sizhou became angry.
If Lu Zhi hadn't reacted quickly, the camp might have been bombed, and there would have been another massacre.
There are only 100,000 soldiers and horses left behind in Sizhou. Although it is not difficult to guard 500,000 prisoners of war, if the matter of Zhang Jiao's body is not solved for a day, the anger in the hearts of the prisoners will be difficult to calm down.
Qin Hao estimated in his heart that if the matter of Zhang Jiao's body was not solved, Sizhou would be in big trouble sooner or later.
But these have nothing to do with Qin Hao. The most important thing for Qin Hao now is to unify Nanyang. But since Zhang Ning has proposed it in person, Qin Hao can't stay out of it. After all, Zhang Jiao is also his future father-in-law. Qin Hao put his hands on Zhang Ning's shoulders and said seriously: "Okay, I promise you, I will definitely find a way to steal Mr. Zhang's body and let him be buried in peace."

Zhang Ning had never been so close to a man. Seeing Qin Hao's face, she was immediately shy, and she couldn't help but think of a passage her father wrote to her.
Ning'er, Xiang Yu is violent by nature and is definitely not a good match for you. As a father, I hope you can be happy...
If you also fall in love with Qin Hao, you can imitate Empress E's daughter-in-law together with your sister, so that you can have someone to take care of you in the harem in the future. If you don't like it...
Is Ehuang Nv Ying? Bah! Zhang Ning shook his head quickly to get rid of the embarrassing thoughts in his heart, and then pushed Qin Hao away.
Qin Hao didn't pay attention. He had to solve Yu Shilan's problem, so he didn't notice anything unusual about his sister-in-law.
After getting rid of Zhang Ning, Qin Hao went directly to Yu Shilan's cell, but Yu Ji, who looked like a fairy, looked haggard at this time.
Seeing Qin Hao's arrival, Shi Lan just smiled sadly and didn't say much or explain anything.
Qin Hao sighed in his heart and said softly: "Xiang Yu is not dead, he was saved."
Shi Lan showed an expression of relief, but still didn't speak. Seeing this, Qin Hao opened the cell door and said, "Let's go. From today on, you are no longer a Jin Yiwei. Shi Lan, you are free!"<
/p>
Shi Lan was shocked all over. She knew what her betrayal meant to Qin Hao, and she was prepared to be killed or even turned into a plaything, but she never expected that Qin Hao would let her go.
"But I let go of your life and death enemy?"
"I didn't keep my promise to you, but you betrayed your brother and lover to help me..."
