Chapter 53 The Emperor in Distress

Cai Yong was stunned and hurriedly said, "General, this..."

Ailang smiled and said, "Don't talk here, let's go in." As he said that, he grabbed Cai Yong's wrist and walked into the gate until he sat down in the hall. Ailang asked the servant to serve tea.

Cai Yong said impatiently: "General, you have to think of a solution!"

Ailang glanced at Cai Yong and asked, "Master, are you really so loyal to the emperor?"

Cai Yong asked in confusion: "What does the general mean? Shouldn't we be loyal to the emperor?"

Ailang said: "It depends on how the emperor is. This kind of child emperor is useless and has no ability to deal with any problems. Instead, he will obey the instigation of eunuchs and relatives around him to do all kinds of ridiculous things. This is how the Yellow Turban Rebellion came. If this kind of child emperor is in power again, wouldn't such a big chaos as the Yellow Turban Rebellion occur again? At that time, I wonder how many people would sacrifice their lives for this bullshit emperor! Do you think this should be done?"

Although Cai Yong was not the kind of person who was loyal to the Han Dynasty, he had always taken loyalty to the emperor as a matter of course and had never thought about what Ailang said. At this time, when he heard the other party's deafening remarks, he couldn't help but stay on the spot, not knowing what to say.

Ailang said sarcastically: "No matter who you want, the more you want, the more you will definitely give. Like the child emperor, you just want to live in this varied world without doing anything. How can you do such a good thing? If you don't change the dynasty, you will be a ghost!" Cai Yong couldn't help but feel that what Ailang said makes sense, but he always feels that what he said is wrong, but he can't say what he said is wrong.

Ailang smiled and said, "Master, don't worry about the people outside! If he is really capable, he will naturally revive the great man like Liu Xiu in the future. Otherwise, you guys will give up their lives in vain and he will still not be able to support the mud on the wall!"

Cai Yong smiled bitterly and said, "Can we just ignore it?"

Ailang said for granted: "That's not! We don't owe the child emperor anything, so what do we have to do to plan for him? Will he be grateful to you? If you gave up your life, he will only take it for granted! Why bother yourself! You are also a person with a daughter, just think about how to live a good life with your beautiful daughter! If you have something, what should you do with your beautiful daughter? Who can you rely on? Don't worry about leaving her alone in the world? Don't worry about the big things in the world! You can't care about these bullshit things!"

Cai Yong was stunned for a while, finally sighed, clasped his fists to Ailang and said, "The general's words made me suddenly enlightened!"

Ailang smiled and said, "Just listen to me. I am really worried that you will be loyal to you if you are obsessed with the slightest slightest, that is, you should die!"

Cai Yong said helplessly: "I just listened to the general. I stayed in my door and lived my own life well and stopped meddling in other people's business!" He stood up and bowed to Ailang, turning around. Seeing him hunched over, he seemed to have grown much older suddenly.

Yuan Tan cut off the supply. Within two days, the emperor outside the city and the senior officials in the court were so hungry that they were too hungry. However, these guys were still waiting for others to bring food to them, constantly complaining and cursing the Yuan family for being unfaithful, as if they owe them what they were.

Dong Cheng personally rode his horse to the city gate and shouted, "I am the national uncle Dong Cheng! Ask Yuan Tan to come out to see me!" The voice was very loud and angry.

The city gate captain could not make the decision, so he immediately sent someone to notify Yuan Tan. Yuan Tan heard that those guys had not left yet, so he couldn't help but feel annoyed. He immediately rode his horse to the west city gate and climbed the city gate tower. Seeing Dong Cheng under the city gate, he clasped his fists and said, "I am Yuan Tan, this person must be the national uncle!"

When Dong Cheng saw Yuan Tan coming, he immediately asked sternly: "Yuan Tan, why have you been reluctant to welcome Your Majesty to return to the capital? Is this a way to be a minister?"

Yuan Tan said angrily: "Luoyang was taken back by my father and son from Dong Zhuo, that's ours. Why do we let you in? You guys have no effect in defeating Dong Zhuo and regaining Luoyang. Why should you continue to hold the Luoyang Palace!"

Dong Cheng was furious and pointed at Yuan Tan and yelled: "Yuan Tan, how different is your words from Dong Zhuo if you say such a ruthless one?"

Yuan Tan laughed and said, "What's the difference? The difference is, we win now, Dong Zhuo loses!"

Dong Cheng's face turned red with anger and wanted to continue to blame him for justice. However, looking at the other party's broken-out posture, he knew that there would be no gains except for humiliation.

Yuan Tan said: "Uncle Guo, I would like to advise you not to stay here again. The city gate will not be opened, and it is useless for you to stay here. Go quickly! If you don't leave, it will make me angry, but I won't be polite to you!"

Dong Cheng felt a little nervous and didn't dare to say anything else. He quickly turned his head and ran back.

The little emperor who was waiting for Dong Cheng saw that Dong Cheng had finally returned, and quickly asked, "Uncle, have they promised to let us in?"

Dong Cheng said angrily: "I thought Yuan Shao had received the favor of the emperor for four generations and three generations, and he should be loyal to the Han Dynasty! But I didn't expect that they were like Dong Zhe! No, it was even more hateful than Dong Zhe!" The little emperor was shocked and cried, "Don't they let us enter the city? Why? I am the emperor, they are my ministers, and they should be loyal to me. How can they be so good to me?"

Dong Cheng clasped his fists and said, "Your Majesty, now you can only leave Luoyang and go to Yanzhou. Cao Mengde is known as a hero. Perhaps, he will welcome Your Majesty and the court!" The emperor sighed, without objection, but without nodding. Dong Cheng went to arrange the matter for the departure. Zhang Ji and others heard that Yuan Shao did not accept them and wanted to go east again, so they became impatient. That night, Zhang Ji led more than 10,000 troops under his command and left without saying goodbye and headed to Runan to the south.

Dong Cheng heard that Zhang Ji had left, and there was nothing he could do. The next morning, these royal nobles and important officials of the court continued to walk east under the support of Yang Feng's thousands of soldiers. In order to win over Yang Feng, Dong Cheng had already asked the emperor to sign Yang Feng as the general of the cavalry. It was precisely because of this that Yang Feng patiently continued to escort them. However, when Yang Feng left Hangu Pass east, there were more than 10,000 people under Yang Feng's command, but at this moment, there were only less than 3,000 people left. It was not because the war was damaged, but because of his officers and soldiers, they saw that Yang Feng had no future with the court, were fleeing on the road.
