As seen in the previous article, the new king, the Young Emperor, King Chenliu and King Zhen of Xiaohuangmen were hiding among the water plants. They were helpless, squeezed each other, cried, and then fell asleep together!
After a while, King Chen Liu suddenly opened his eyes, pushed the young emperor and Wang Zhen beside him to wake up, and whispered: "It is not suitable to stay here for a long time, there may be soldiers coming at any time, we must find other ways to survive, otherwise we will die. Lost in this."
So a few people put on their clothes that were wet with dew and crawled to the shore, groping around to find a way to escape. However, the road beside the river bank was full of thorns, and the sky was hazy and dim, except for a few fireflies that could be seen. Apart from the insect, there is no other way to walk.
Just when a few people were at a loss what to do, suddenly thousands of fireflies scurrying around gathered in groups. Although they emitted weak fluorescent light, the thousands of fluorescent lights could make the road clear and visible.
These fireflies just flew back and forth in front of the young emperor, which made King Chen Liu sigh with emotion: "This is God helping my brother!" Then everyone moved forward quietly under the light of the fireflies, and finally successfully found the escape route. the way.
When the group of people kept walking along the road, due to the fact that the Young Emperor and King Chenliu were used to being pampered and kept on the road for so long, their feet hurt and they could no longer move forward. They had no choice but to stop and began to look for a place to rest near the road. place.
Then, a few people found a haystack beside a hill. The young emperor and King Chenliu were lying next to the haystack, breathing heavily and falling asleep, while Wang Zhen of Xiaohuangmen was always vigilant. He was afraid that there would be officers and soldiers nearby coming to chase him.
In front of the haystack was a manor. The owner of the manor dreamed of two red suns falling behind his manor at night. He was instantly awakened by this dream and could no longer sleep. He put on his clothes and left the house. Holding a three-pointed steel fork and looking around, Zhuang Han saw a red light rising into the sky from a haystack behind the farmyard. Zhuang Han was shocked and hurriedly went to the haystack and found someone lying on the grass inside.
The owner of the village, who pretended to be calm, clenched the fork in his hand and carefully interrogated the two young men in front of him: "Whose son are you two young men from? How come you come to my village to sleep soundly?"
The young emperor saw the owner's fierce look and was so frightened that he did not dare to respond. At this moment, King Chenliu stood up awe-inspiring, pointed at the young emperor beside him and responded: "He is the current emperor. Because of the eunuchs in the palace, Shi Chang served him During the chaos, I was forced to flee here. I am King Chenliu, the emperor’s younger brother. None\./Error\./Update\./New`.w`.a`.p`.`.c`. o`.m”
After listening to King Chen Liu's remarks, the owner of the village was shocked and did not doubt that they were false. He leaned down and bowed again and said: "First of all, I am Cui Yiye, the younger brother of Cui Lie, the former Situ. Because I was concerned about Shi Chang's behavior of betraying officials and being jealous of talents. I am not ashamed to live here in seclusion in my spare time. I would also like to invite Your Majesty and King Chenliu to enter the village first."
Cui Yi then helped the young emperor, King Chenliu, Wang Zhen and others to their feet one by one, and then helped the young emperor enter the village first. After everyone rested, he called his beautiful concubine to the village and knelt down to drink and eat!
Everyone was chatting happily, not knowing how hard it was for the officers and soldiers outside to find the Young Emperor and King Chenliu.
But it is said that Min Gong, a local official in central Henan, led his troops to search for the young emperor and King Chenliu to no avail, and dispersed in all directions. They happened to catch up with Duan Gui, the Shichangshi, who was escaping to the south, and captured him alive!
After Duan Gui was captured, he burst into tears and shouted for his life. Min Gong coldly asked about the whereabouts of his young emperor and King Chenliu. Unexpectedly, the guy replied: "I, the young emperor and King Chenliu encountered an unexpected incident on the way. The situation is that they have been separated, and I don’t know where they are now!”
The furious Ran Gong pointed at Duan Gui and cursed loudly, and then assigned his soldiers to kill the guy, cut off his head to show the public, and then hung his head on the neck of his precious horse!
"The Young Emperor and King Chenliu are still in the wilderness. We, the emperor's salary, should fulfill our duties as ministers."
Ran Gong rode on horseback, drew a long sword from his waist, and then divided his troops to look for him, while he himself was riding a horse alone. I followed the nearby road to search, and accidentally discovered several haystacks in the distance of the road, and then I saw a village courtyard among them.
Shocked, Ran Gong rode his horse closer and came to Cui Yi's courtyard. At this time, he happened to catch up with Cui Yi preparing wine and food to entertain the young emperor and others. Cui Yi saw a man approaching on horseback outside the village, and there was still a dripping hanging hanging from the horse's neck. Xue's head couldn't help but look a little panicked. He held the fork and went to ask about the situation!
When Ran Gong saw Cui Yi, he didn't take it seriously, so he told him in detail what happened in the palace and how he led his troops to find the young emperor and King Chenliu without success. Cui Yi didn't doubt it was false, so he took it with him.
Ran Gong entered the village courtyard and took him to see the Young Emperor and King Chenliu.
When the monarch and his ministers met, they hugged each other and cried bitterly. After the mood stabilized a little, Ran Gong, an official in central Henan, said: "The country cannot be without a king for a day. Please return to the capital immediately."
At this time, there was only one thin horse in Cui Yi's village, but it was still ready to be given to the young emperor to ride on. Ran Gong and King Chenliu rode on the same horse. Everyone paid their respects to Cui Yi and left the village to rush towards Luoyang!
Everyone had just left Cui Yi's village, and less than three miles away, they met Situ Wang Yun, Tai Lieutenant Yang Biao, Left Military Colonel Wu Kuang (recently promoted), Right Military Colonel Zhao Meng, and Hou Military Colonel Bao Xin (Jibei Kingdom). After being destroyed and returned to the court as an official), the Central Military Academy Lieutenant Lu Junyi and Chun Yudi, a large group of people, nearly hundreds of people, came to greet the Young Emperor and King Chenliu!
The three princes and nine ministers were overjoyed when they saw the young emperor and King Chenliu. After that, the emperor and his ministers all cried, and it took a while to calm down.
During this time, Situ Wang Yun took the lead in arranging the army sergeants to send the rebel Duan Gui's head to the capital as punishment, and then replaced him with a good and fat horse for the young emperor and King Chenliu to ride on. Originally, everyone wanted to kill Wang Zhen of the Xiaohuang Clan to vent their anger, but due to the pleading of the Young Emperor and King Chenliu, and because of his meritorious service in protecting the emperor, they spared his life!
Everyone followed the Emperor from the west to return to the capital. Before that, there was a Luoyang child's ballad saying: "The emperor is not an emperor, the king is not a king, and thousands of horses are traveling to Beimang."
So far, the prophecy has been fulfilled!
Everyone gathered with the emperor to return to the capital, and hundreds of cars were driving forward for less than a few miles. Suddenly, they saw flags covering the sun not far ahead, and the sound of golden horses neighing. They also saw dust covering the sky, getting closer and closer. After that, there was a scene. More than a thousand soldiers and horses arrived.
All the officials in the court were shocked, and the young emperor was also frightened. At this time, the right military commander Zhao Meng, the rear military commander Bao Xin, the middle military commander Lu Junyi and Chunyu's younger brother Su Ma came to inquire about the troops and horses, and asked in unison: "Who is coming?"
But in the shadow of the embroidered flag, a tall and burly general with a purple gold crown on his head, wearing strong armor, holding an iron rod, riding a green water golden-eyed beast with a fierce look flew out, looked around the generals and asked sternly: "Where is the Emperor?".
