Chapter 121
"Dong Liangzhou, are you okay..."

Dong Zhuo got up with a cold snort, turned around and left the General's Mansion.

He Jin shook his head, turned around and said to Yang Biao: "The local forces have a lot of troops, and they are rarely restrained by the court. Now that Emperor Ling is ill and the civil strife in Luoyang has fueled their perverse and violent temper."

Yang Biao nodded and said: "That's the truth. Since the general knows it, why did you let both of them come to serve the king in person?"

He Jin shook his head and didn't say anything. He naturally had his own considerations. One more person means one more choice.

And now that Dong Zhuo and Wu Ming are facing each other, I am sure that I have made the right decision. With their two tigers fighting, there will be no situation where I will show weakness and be crushed, so that I can control the overall situation.

……

The night is fast and slow. For some people, a night is just the time to close their eyes, while for others, the night is destined to be long.

But in general, the sun will always come again...

Early the next morning, a group of important officials gathered in front of the gate of the Luoyang Imperial City, but some of them would never be able to come to the court because they were all wiped out by the butcher's knife of the ten permanent servants.

"The time has passed, why are you still not opening the city gate?"

Many important ministers were wondering, but no matter how they speculated, no one paid them any attention.

"Have you heard that the three high-ranking officials under the Shaofu's sect were exterminated last night, and there were bloodstains in many places this morning, but no corpses were found, and I don't know which side they belong to."

"What do the left and right prisons eat? With so many big cases happening, there's no progress at all?"

"Come on, Your Majesty hasn't woken up yet, and those people in the sky are fighting for the top again. Let alone such a few people die, even if Luoyang turns over, it's not a big deal."

"Shh... be careful..."

Only then did everyone realize that there are too many people here, and if something taboo is mentioned, they will definitely be implicated, and the scene was extraordinarily quiet for a while.

"Crackling..." The heavy city gate opened, and Song Dian followed behind with countless soldiers and horses of the Xiyuan Army, walking up with serious expressions.

"All important ministers of the court, please come in, Your Majesty has been waiting for a long time!"

"His Majesty?"

All the ministers were taken aback, Lingdi woke up?This is a great thing, as long as he recovers, the world will have a backbone...

This group of people had different thoughts, each with their own ghosts, some were happy, some were puzzled, and some lowered their heads and remained silent. Obviously they didn't believe the words of Shi Changshi, let's wait and see what happens.

The sky over the imperial city was shrouded in dark clouds, and a dull atmosphere weighed on everyone's hearts. Even the ten servants who manipulated all this were a little irritable.

When the ministers stood firm, Zhang Rang hurried up: "Your Majesty is coming!!"

The voice was shrill, and it spread far away, and not long after, the emperor's Luanjia walked in.

No one dared to raise their heads and shouted in unison: "Long live my emperor!"

"Everyone, please be safe..."

The immature voice made everyone's hearts thump. It already meant that something was wrong, so they raised their heads suddenly!

"Emperor... Prince Xie?! Not Emperor Ling, why Liu Xie!!"

There was an instant uproar in the scene, what's more, he jumped up with staring unbelievable eyes, pointing at Zhao Zhong and others so angry that he couldn't say a word.

"Great rebellion, ten constant servants of traitors, His Majesty is seriously ill in bed, and the candidate for the crown prince has not yet been decided. At this moment, the prince is asked to wear a dragon robe to face the court. How is it different from the thief who steals the country?!"

Kong Rong cursed angrily, and all the Confucianists stood up to agree, even Cai Yong was in it, so they dared to stand up at this time.

"Son of Heaven, at midnight last night, he and Empress He both passed away. The old slave complied with Emperor Ling's last edict and made the prince Xie the emperor to rule the world!!"

No one heard what Qian Shuo said after that. The news that Emperor Ling and Queen He died on the same day was so exciting that it made them burst into tears. For a while, they could not stop sobbing.

"Where is the emperor's edict? Why is it not shown to all the ministers?"

I don't know who yelled, and the scene became chaotic again. Liu Xie was a little timid, hiding on the dragon chair, not daring to say a word.

Qian Shuo came up and said, "The edict left by the first emperor is an oral edict. I and all the servants are present. How can it be false?"

At this time, He Jin, who didn't say a word, came up, and said with a sneer, "Really, have you all heard the ten servants? Zhang Rang, what Qian Shuo said is the truth?"

Zhang Rang gritted his teeth, stepped out and said, "Of course it's a lie!!"

Like thunder on the ground, everyone was stunned. There had never been a disagreement among the ten permanent servants, but at this moment Zhang Rang openly demolished the stage in front of Zhao Zhong and others. Is there something wrong?
He Jin continued to sneer, but Zhao Zhong said anxiously: "Brother, what are you talking about? Isn't it a good idea..."

Zhang Rang snorted coldly: "Don't listen to Zhao Zhong's nonsense. These thieves sent people to assassinate His Majesty, and even ordered He Hou to commit suicide by taking poison. The late emperor never issued a posthumous edict, let alone a verbal edict!"

Zhao Zhong cursed: "You...you don't want your adopted daughter to live? But she..."

Qian Shuo grabbed him and said: "Don't say any more, come here, take Liehou down, ask the imperial physician to see if there is any strange disease!"

A group of soldiers from the Xiyuan Army rushed up, and they wanted to take Zhang out without saying a word.

"I see who of you dares to do it!!"

With a shout, Cao Cao pulled out his sword with a bang, and stood in front of Zhang Rang with the horizontal sword, and the guards behind him were all strong and strong. Although they were not as numerous as the Xiyuan army, they were not afraid.

"Clap clap clap!"

He Jin applauded and walked up, saying: "It's wonderful, Liehou, now you can tell the whole story!"

The killing intent flashed in Zhang Rang's eyes, and he broke the can. Now he put all his wealth on Wu Ming. If Wu Ming made a mistake, he would be doomed.

"It was Zhao Zhong, Qian Shuo, Song Dian and others who conspired to assassinate the first emperor and empress, with the intention of helping the prince Xie ascend the throne so that he can be controlled as a puppet!!"

A few short words made everyone chill. Of course, Zhao Zhong and the others feared the most.

Zhao Zhonggang was about to curse, but Qian Shuo grabbed him and shouted angrily, "Do it!!"

The Xiyuan troops who were guarding the surrounding area drew their swords and surrounded him, trying to kill him.

But at this moment, the front of Weiyang Palace was darkened, and a group of neat soldiers rushed in, shooting bows and arrows at the Xiyuan army, and quickly killed them all amidst the minister's exclamation.

"Let's go, we still have our army stationed in the east. We will break out after we gather together!" Qian Shuo roared angrily.

Qian Shuo, the commander of the Xiyuan Army, is indeed capable. He can stay calm in the face of adversity. He tells Zhao Zhong and others to run away. After all, they are grasshoppers on the same rope now, and no one can do without the other.

Watching them escape from the side door, but no one responded.
