"Really? Li Gui died just like that!" After listening to the report from Jia Xu and others, Luo Yang sighed. Although Luo Yang still hasn't figured out why Gui Feng, who was the most powerful man in the northwest back then, is by his side.
Although Li Gui has been anonymous for so many years, he has always been with Luo Yang and has some feelings for him. Now that Li Gui has died, Luo Yang feels empty in his heart and doesn't know what to say.
"Yes!" Jia Xu said to Luo Yang without changing his expression: "That night, it was first reported that there were assassins in the palace, and all the security forces in the city were urgently mobilized to defend themselves. Then, inexplicable fires appeared in several other places in Chang'an, causing
The Jin Yiwei did not get the news in time and rushed to the rescue! By the time the men of the Jin Yiwei arrived personally led by their subordinates, Li Gui was already dead! And the identity of the assassin has been found out, it is Shi A, the great swordsman who taught the emperor swordsmanship!"
"Shi A!" Luo Yang's eyes flashed with a cold light. Since the assassin is Shi A, the identity of the instigator behind this is naturally self-evident. It is the emperor Liu Xie! The Jin Yiwei had already found out that the emperor sent Shi A before.
He was looking for He Waner's whereabouts, so Luo Yang specially sent Li Gui to protect He Waner. Unexpectedly, the emperor took advantage of the time when Luo Yang left Chang'an to attack He Waner! He took a deep breath, and then asked again
: "So how is this Shi'a doing now?"
"Report to my lord! When my subordinates and others arrived, Shi A was already dead! According to what the lady said, Shi A was killed by Li Gui, and Li Gui should have died of exhaustion!" Regarding Luo Yang's question, Jia
Xu answered quickly.
"Hmph!" Hearing that Shi A was dead, Luo Yang snorted coldly. It wasn't because Shi A died without evidence. In fact, even if Shi A was still alive, Luo Yang couldn't use Shi A to settle accounts with the emperor! This is
The matter must not be made clear. The emperor is the emperor after all. In name, Luo Yang is only a minister of Liu Xie. How can he be prosecuted? However, even if he cannot be prosecuted, Luo Yang does not intend to just let it go. Luo Yang immediately ordered him.
He nodded, stood up directly, and shouted loudly to the outside: "Here comes someone! Prepare your horses! Get ready to enter the palace!"
"Uh!" Hearing Luo Yang's words, Xi Zhicai on the side couldn't help being stunned, and said hurriedly: "My lord is entering the palace at this time, but he wants to be with the emperor..." Xi Zhicai did not say the next words,
The meaning is very clear. I just want to ask Luo Yang if he wants to fall out with the emperor, but this matter cannot be announced easily.
Luo Yang raised his brows slightly, and he naturally understood that Xi Zhicai's question was not out of loyalty to the Han Dynasty. Unlike the uncles and nephews of the Xun family, Luo Yang's top advisers did not have much loyalty to the Han Dynasty. Xi Zhi asked
The reason why he was so worried was entirely out of consideration for Luo Yang. No matter from which point of view, now is not a good time to fall out with the emperor. And Luo Yang himself knew this, and shook his finger at Xi Zhicai
, smiled and said: "Don't worry! I just want to have a good chat with His Majesty!"
Luo Yang was now a great general and had a distinguished status. Naturally, those under his command did not dare to delay the orders he issued. They quickly arranged mounts for Luo Yang. They rushed all the way to the palace, and the guards guarding the palace gate were originally
He still wanted to stop him, but when he saw that the leader was Luo Yang, he didn't dare to say anything. They all got out of the way and knelt down on both sides. Luo Yang was not polite, and just rode on horseback, leading a large number of his subordinates.
Entered the palace.
At this moment, in the emperor's palace, the emperor Liu Xie was waving his sword crazily, chopping up the valuable furniture in the palace to vent his dissatisfaction. On the side, Liu Xie's personal attendant Gu Gou seemed to have
He was somewhat used to it. Ever since he learned about Shi A's death, Liu Xie had hardly been in a good mood and would vent like this once or twice every day. Gu Gou had already grasped Liu Xie's character. As long as he didn't touch Liu Xie's temper at this time,
Mildew basically won't cause fire.
After waiting for Liu Xie to chop randomly, there was almost nothing intact in the palace. The anger in Liu Xie's heart had been vented for the time being. He held his sword and gasped for air. Seeing this, Gu Gou quickly
He came forward with the silk scarf that he had prepared, wiped the sweat from Liu Xie's forehead, and said with a sorry smile: "Your Majesty! Calm down! Calm down! It's not worth it to be so angry!"
"Humph! Get away!" Liu Xie waved his hand with an impatient expression, opened Gu Gou's hand, and hummed: "They are all a bunch of waste! You are a waste! Shi A is a waste too! You can't even do this little thing.
Okay, how can I expect you to do great things in the future? Get out of here!"
"Yes! Your Majesty is absolutely right! The villain is a waste! He is a waste!" Gu Gou dared to argue with Liu Xie. He just followed Liu Xie's words and admitted that he was a waste. At the same time, he always kept a smile on his face and said
: "Your Majesty! But you are thirsty! Would you like me to bring your Majesty a cup of ginseng tea to quench your thirst?"
"Huh!" Although Liu Xie knew that Gu Gou was useless, he had no choice but to only have such a loyal slave around him now, so Liu Xie did not vent all his anger on him. He just snorted coldly and raised his hand with one hand.
He shook it off and coldly snorted: "Go!" After that, he turned around.
Just when Gu Gou was about to go down to get ginseng tea for Liu Xie, suddenly, a young eunuch ran out from outside and shouted to Liu Xie with a panicked face: "Your Majesty, your Majesty! It's not good! General
Entering the palace!"
"What!" Liu Xie's expression suddenly changed, and his whole body couldn't help but tremble. In fact, since Shi A's death, Liu Xie knew that Luo Yang would come to him sooner or later, but now it's time
At the end of the day, Liu Xie couldn't help but feel scared. Over the years, the feeling Luo Yang gave Liu Xie was even worse than that of Dong Zhuo back then! Liu Xie immediately pointed the sword in his hand towards Gu Gou.
As soon as he threw it away, he immediately shouted: "Quick! Quick! Clean up this place quickly!"
"Your Majesty! Luo Yang! See Your Majesty!" As soon as Liu Xie finished speaking, he heard a shout from outside the palace. Without waiting for Liu Xie's reply, Luo Yang, wearing official robes, strode into the palace. Seeing the palace
Seeing the mess inside, Luo Yang just smiled faintly, cupped his fists and bowed to Liu Xie, but he didn't kneel down, he just bowed down.
At this moment, Liu Xie was already frightened by Luo Yang's sudden attack. He could not care about Luo Yang's etiquette issues. He hurriedly said to Luo Yang: "Ah! The general is here! Quick, please wake up!"
No need to be polite!" Despite Liu Xie's domineering look when he faced Gu Gou just now, facing Luo Yang now, Liu Xie was as scared as a quail.
Luo Yang stood up straight, but the smile that appeared on his face just now disappeared completely. Seeing Luo Yang's stern face, Liu Xie's heart also jumped. He couldn't hide the panic on his face and said to Luo Yang: "Big,
The general came here suddenly, no, I don't know, general, what's the matter with the general?" Liu Xie spoke intermittently, not only because of the aura exuding from Luo Yang, but also because Liu Xie had heard the news coming from outside the palace.
The noise mixed with the sound of horse hooves.
Except for the emperor, horses are not allowed to ride in the palace. This has been a rule in the palace for many years. Logically speaking, it is impossible for the sound of horse hooves to be heard. But now the sound of horse hooves can be clearly heard in Liu Xie's ears.
There is only one explanation. These horses were brought by Luo Yang in front of him! And listening to this movement, there must be a lot of people outside! Could it be that Luo Yang is coming to force the palace today? Thinking of this, Liu Xie couldn't help but fight another one
Chills.
"Your Majesty!" Liu Xie's reaction was seen by Luo Yang, and he did not criticize it in his heart. He just said seriously: "I have just returned triumphantly from the rebellion in Guandong, but I heard that something happened in the city not long ago.
Weird thing! Shi A, who taught His Majesty the swordsmanship, actually broke into the houses at night and massacred the civilians! Fortunately, the security forces in the city arrived in time, but Shi A refused to restrain himself and was killed by the security forces. I entered the palace this time because I wanted to
You know, did your Majesty know about Shi'a?"
"Ah? Ah! I really don't know about this!" As soon as he heard Luo Yang ask about him, Liu Xie's face was filled with panic. He subconsciously pushed the matter away and shook his head.
Said: "Some time ago, Shi A asked me for leave, saying that he had important things to do at home, and I had already allowed him to leave! But I didn't know that he would actually run out of the palace to do such evil things! This, this, this, I have given him permission in advance
I really don’t know!”
"Oh? That's it!" Luo Yang nodded slightly and responded, but in his heart he was full of disdain for Liu Xie. This young and intelligent emperor now seems too mediocre. No wonder he was easily defeated by Cao Cao in history.
The ground was empty! Luo Yang immediately said: "In that case, I know what to do! This Shi Aben was born in the Jianghu, and he must have wanted to rob the people because of the banditry in the Jianghu that has not been eliminated!
But this time he kicked a stone and took his life! Your Majesty, do you think so?" Since Liu Xie wants to pretend to be confused, he should just pretend to be stupid! Luo Yang's explanation is full of holes.
Kong, but when he said this, his eyes were fixed on Liu Xie.
Being stared at by Luo Yang, Liu Xie couldn't help but shudder. Luo Yang was talking about Shi A! He clearly meant something else! Liu Xie also nodded quickly and said: "Yes! Yes! What the general said.
Absolutely! This Shi'a actually did such a thing, he really deserves death! Everything, everything is left to the decision of the general!"
The corner of Luo Yang's mouth curled up slightly and he said with a smile: "What are you talking about, Your Majesty! It is my duty to share your Majesty's worries! It's just that Shi'a's status is a bit special, so I came here to inform Your Majesty! Please be kind to Your Majesty."
Take care of yourself! Here comes someone!" Luo Yang shouted loudly, and immediately summoned several armed sergeants from outside the palace, and saluted Luo Yang with clasped fists. This time, both Liu Xie and Gu Gou were frightened.
