Chapter 2 The Beginning of Chaos

The clear water, clear lotus, green ponds and small pavilions look extremely elegant and quiet against the backdrop of the rising sun.

The two of them stood facing east in the pavilion, enjoying the baptism of the sun.

"Your Highness, I watched the sky at night. I saw that the Ziweiheng Middle Emperor Star was dim and shaking. The light of the star gradually shone, as if it was rising. There were two general stars on the side shining. I am afraid that there would be a major change in this imperial capital in the future." A middle-aged Taoist priest who was out of forty said to the young man in front of him.

Hearing him say this, the boy's face suddenly changed drastically, and his anxious expression was overwhelming: "Can you say... Your Majesty...? This is impossible!"

"You think Your Majesty is only more than thirty years old, and it's still a long time, right?" The Taoist priest seemed to see the young man's thoughts and pointed it out: "In recent years, Your Majesty has favored the Ten Constellations, indulged in the sounds and emotions, and enjoyed day and night. Zhang Rang, the first of the Ten Constellations, even made various pills for tonics, making Your Majesty look lively. But it is important to know that this way of strengthening the body is to drink poison to quench thirst. Your Majesty's current body, alas... it's just a force on the outside but the middle."

"Master, please save your father!" After hearing this, the young man suddenly grabbed the Taoist priest's hands, and tears were already falling on his face.

"Child, this is the destiny of heaven, how can human power be done? I still cannot reach the state of changing my destiny against heaven." The Taoist priest held the young man's hands and looked at him for a while, and couldn't help but sigh: Although this child is a legitimate child and is not loved by His Majesty and the Queen Mother, this filial piety is really more precious than that of the prince. But being too kind in the imperial family is not a good thing.

Looking at the boy's lost expression, the Taoist priest shook his head helplessly: "The blood will surge into the sky soon in Luoyang City. I am a practitioner who is a pure practitioner, so I will leave here tomorrow. At that time, your highness's uncle, General He Jin, will personally welcome your highness back to the palace."

Luoyang City, Imperial Palace.

Although Liu Bin, the prince of Zhang Da, who had been in the Shifu, suddenly came back, life in the palace still did not cause any trouble. Emperor Ling still indulged in love, while Empress Dowager Dong recited scriptures and worshiped Buddha, pursuing immortality. Of course, Empress Dowager Dong was always following her most beloved prince. The only thing she was happy was Liu Bin's mother, Concubine He.

Concubine He's elder brother, General He Jin, held heavy troops, was powerful and had no sons, and loved his nephew very much. With such a relationship, Emperor Ling never made a crown prince, although he and Empress Dowager Dong had decided on Prince Xie early. Another point is that Emperor Ling's most favored concubine, Liu Xie's mother, was poisoned by Concubine He who was competing for favor, which made Emperor Ling even less dislike this indecisive son.

The sky is dead, and the yellow sky should stand. The year is in Jiazi, and the world is very lucky.

Since the uprising of the Zhang Jiao three brothers in Julu, floods, locust plagues and other disasters have spread everywhere, and complained everywhere. The people and the people have lived in poverty, and the country's power has long declined. In addition, the officials from all over the country have been respectful and do not listen to the tutoring, and the imperial power of the Han Dynasty has actually been in name only.

Finally, on a peaceful night, the Spirit Emperor Liu Hong, whose body had been hollowed out, ended his foolish life.

In the Golden Palace, the fourteen-year-old Liu Bian sat in the south, and the ministers shouted long live, and decided to set the new master of the Han Dynasty.

He was a little scared, and his body trembled unconsciously. But looking at the bearded man in the hall, looking at the firm gaze he handed over, Liu Bian finally felt a little confident. Although Emperor Ling entrusted the prince Liu Xie to the Ten Generals before his death to assist him in the throne, and the secret support of Empress Dowager Dong. However, the general had the power of military power and had always had the rules of establishing eldest sons but not young children. Emperor Ling did not leave a will. With the death of Emperor Ling, during the civil and military strife in the palace, he actually brought Liu Bian to the throne.

The picture turned again, and the palace was already filled with blood.

Faced with He Jin's approach to transfer Dong Zhuo to Beijing, the Ten Generals finally couldn't help it. As a last resort, he had to fight to the death. So he secretly deceived Empress Dowager He and lured He Jin into the palace alone and killed him. Then he took advantage of the chaos to flee with the emperor.

At the foot of Beim Mountain, Dong Zhuo led his army and his ministers to welcome the emperor back to the palace. Behind the fat and hideous face, Liu Bian saw dissatisfaction and greed. It seemed that he had a grudge with him in the dark. Unconsciously, in front of Dong Zhuo, he was trembling and speechless. From the mouths of the ministers, he knew that his only trustworthy uncle was dead, and the road ahead might be bumpy.

Three days later, Chongde Front Hall.

"Emperor Xiaoling did not investigate the reign of Emperor Gaozong's Meishou, and abandoned his ministers long ago. The emperor Chengshao, looked at the inside of the sea, but the emperor was frivolous in heaven and was not arrogant, and was in arrogance and laziness, and was as declining as before; the evil virtues were revealed, obscene and humiliating artifacts were heard, and the ancestral temple was defiled. The empress dowager had no mother's etiquette, and the government was in chaos. The Empress Dowager Yongle collapsed and the public was confused. The three pillars of the three pillars, the disciplines of heaven and earth, and there were shortcomings and the crimes were great. The King of Chenliu was ashamed of the sages, with great virtues and rules, and the rich and the lower and Dui were above, with Yao Tu; the mourning and sadness of the living, the words were not as good as evil, and the nature of Qi Li was as good as Zhou Cheng. Don't say good news, what the world heard, it is suitable to inherit the Hongye, and it is for all generations to inherit the ancestral temple. The emperor was abolished as King Hongnong. The Empress Dowager returned to power."

As the edict was read, the Grand Tutor Yuan Wei took off the seal and ribbon that Liu Bian wore and presented it to King Liu Xie of Chenliu. Then, with Yuan Wei's support, he went down to the palace, surrendered to the new emperor, and surrendered to King Hongnong.

This emperor was deposed after only five months of being the subject, and was greeted with the folk song: Emperor is not the emperor, Wang is not the king, and thousands of riders travel to Beim.

At this point, the world is in chaos.

"King, please take this wine to avoid evil."

Liu Bian sat upright on the shelf, and stood a young Confucian scholar in front of him, holding a golden cup in his hand, urging him to drink.

The wine is as bright as blood, and purple air lingers out from it, forming a vague appearance of fresh feathers.

Looking at the wine in front of him, Liu Bin's face turned pale: "Is this Jiujiu Bar? I have given up the throne. Is Taishi Dong still unwilling to let me go?"

Seeing that Liu Bian realized it, the Confucian scholar immediately took a step forward and bowed slightly: "The Grand Master has instructed that if the prince refuses to drink, then the minister has to wait for the prince to drink." As soon as he finished speaking, the several Xiliang soldiers behind him also took a step forward.

"Forget it! Forget it! I know I can't escape death today." Liu Bian sighed, his eyes full of gloomy: "Li Ru, as a Han minister, why do you force the imperial blood descendants so much?"

"The prince, the empress is the only thing that I have to do is to do this job for the sake of the Han Dynasty. The governors, governors, prefects and others in Shandong have all raised troops to attack the Taishi in the name of welcoming the emperor, and the remnants of the Yellow Turbans are taking the opportunity to cause chaos, and the world is already in turmoil. If the prince is not dead, the war will be difficult to extinguish. Therefore..." Li Ru sighed.

"Since that's the case," Liu Bian trembled and took the golden cup of wine: "I will use my death to make the Han Dynasty successful! I just hope that Li Qing would tell my emperor brother that it was my last request: After I die, a small county can be distributed in the fiefdom of Hongnong County for Tang Ji to live in. I pity that she was pregnant just now, hoping to leave some blood for the Han Dynasty."

Li Ru hesitated for a moment and nodded.

After his thoughts were over, Liu Bian shouted to an eunuch beside him, "Transfer to Tang Ji!" Although he was an abolished emperor and had no real power, he had the right to call eunuchs after all.

Soon, a beautiful girl came in a beautiful way. She was Liu Bian's only concubine: Tang Ji. Unfortunately, he was the emperor for only five months and never had a queen.

"My dear, I drink, you can dance and cheer up!"

Tang Ji turned her delicate body gently, walking lightly among the flowing clouds and water, and beautiful songs were sung from her mouth, with crisp and melodious sounds, like the sky.

After a song and dance, the lingering sound was lingering on the beams, which lasted for a long time!

Liu Bian raised his head and drank the wine in the glass. The golden cup fell down with the sound of a bang, and smiled sadly: "My dear, take care of yourself and leave forever!"
