Chapter 485: Abolish Liu Hong and establish a new emperor
In the prison, Zhang Ning was still crying sadly, while Qin Hao and Zhang Liang just looked at each other without speaking.
The atmosphere gradually became awkward. In order to ease the embarrassment, Qin Hao glanced at the letter in Zhang Liang's hand and asked, "What did Mr. Zhang say in his letter?"
Zhang Liang was stunned for a moment, then said coldly: "Didn't you see it?"
Qin Hao looked into Zhang Liang's eyes and said extremely seriously: "I wanted to see it, but I held back."
Zhang Liang stared hard at Qin Hao's eyes, but he only saw magnanimity and sincerity in those double pupils, and the resentment towards Qin Hao in his heart could not help but diminish a lot.
Zhang Liang sighed, turned away, and said in a deep voice: "Qin Hao, even if you let me go, I won't be grateful to you, let alone loyal to you."
Qin Hao chuckled lightly and said: "I pushed Hong'er into the abyss with my own hands, but I didn't have the ability to pull her out. The only one who can help Hong'er now is you, so I want to thank you."
Zhang Liang turned his head and said seriously: "I might still go against you in the future, so you are still willing to let me go?"
maybe? Qin Hao secretly made up his mind and said calmly: "So, why don't you leave quickly before I regret it? The Ming Dynasty really needs you now. And who can say for sure what will happen in the future?"
Zhang Liang nodded secretly in his heart. All his resentment towards Qin Hao has been reduced by most, but he still will not be loyal to Qin Hao because of this.
Zhang Liang glanced at Qin Hao meaningfully and said lightly: "I hope you won't regret it in the future."
After saying that, Zhang Liang strode out of the unlocked cell and slowly walked out of the cell, but then Qin Hao's voice came from behind him.
"etc."
Zhang Liang turned around, feeling extremely disappointed. There was no expression on his face.
"Why, you regretted it so quickly?" Zhang Liang said lightly, without any tone in his words.
"Of course not." Qin Hao untied the Ganjiang from his waist and handed it out: "Hong'er is the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty now. It's really not suitable for Mo Xie to continue using it. Please give this Ganjiang to her for me."
After Zhang Liang took over the general, Qin Hao said again: "Generals Long Qie and Ji Bu are unwilling to surrender to the Han Dynasty or to me. It would be a waste of time to keep them locked up, so you should take them two with you." It just so happens that I can protect you along the way."
Zhang Liang's body trembled slightly, and his mood became complicated again. After bowing his hands to Qin Hao, he said softly: "Thank you, farewell."
Zhang Liang continued to walk out with the go-getter in hand. In addition to freedom, what awaited him outside was an even worse mess than before, but he had to accept it.
At the east gate of Wancheng, Generals Long Qie and Ji Bu had been waiting outside the city for a long time. When they saw Zhang Liang finally coming out, the two generals hurriedly greeted him.
"General Ren Gong, that boy Qin Hao really let you go? Do you think he has any conspiracy?" Ji Bu said happily.
"General Ren Gong, Qin Hao didn't give you any trouble, did he?" Long Qie asked with concern.
Zhang Liang shook his head and said: "This is not a place to stay for a long time. Let's talk about it on the way."
The two generals looked at each other and nodded in agreement. The three of them and the three cavalrymen all rode towards Yanzhou.
Before leaving, Zhang Liang turned to look at Wancheng with a complicated expression, and said in his heart: "Qin Hao, you have not given up on your kindness, so you are destined not to be a qualified monarch... But such a ruthless and unjust person, really Is this the lord that I, Zhang Liang, want?"
Zhang Liang left, but Zhang Ning unexpectedly stayed. Qin Hao didn't know the specific reason.
Qin Hao looked at Zhang Ning behind him with a headache. After letting Zhang Liang go, he was about to see Shi Lan, but Zhang Ning followed him tightly and couldn't get rid of him.
A hint of helplessness flashed across Qin Hao's face, and he said, "Why are you still following me? Didn't they say I would let you go? Why, do you still want to be detained?"
Zhang Ning's eyes turned red when he heard this, and he said with a cry: "My father's bones have not found rest yet. I, I want to ask you to help me get my father's bones back and let my father be buried in peace. Brother-in-law?"
Qin Hao's heart softened when Zhang Ning was called brother-in-law, and he couldn't help but secretly scold Liu Hong for being petty.
Zhang Jue did destroy the Han Dynasty, but he was dead after all. Even if it was to appease the surrendered Yellow Turbans, his body should be treated kindly, but Liu Hong did not.
After Zhang Jiao's death, Liu Hong would have nightmares every night, and dreamed that Zhang Jiao came to claim his life, so that he could not sleep at night.
As time passed, Liu Hong's spirit became trance-like and he began to become suspicious.
Taoist Yu Ji personally diagnosed Liu Hong, and said that it was because Zhang Jiao died at the gate of the palace. After his death, his soul was too resentful and could not enter the underworld. Instead, he entangled the emperor, so he dreamed of Zhang Jiao every night.
Liu Hong was shocked by this statement, so he quickly moved out of the palace, moved into the General's Mansion, and asked the White Horse Temple to preside over daily purifications, but the situation still did not improve.
In the end, I don't know who it was, but he proposed to make Zhang Jiao's soul fly away by 'dismembering the body' in order to cure Liu Hong's nightmare syndrome.
Liu Hong was almost driven crazy by the nightmare, and he still had no ability to think. He raised Ling Chi Zhang Jiao's body in public, and let the anti-Han forces in the world see what would happen if he betrayed the great Han.
As soon as this proposal came out, it was immediately opposed by the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty.
Although Zhang Jiao is dead, his power is still there.
I don’t know how many good people in the world are still thinking about Zhang Jue’s goodness, but you, Liu Hong, don’t even let go of their corpses. Isn’t this looking for scolding?
Even if you, Liu Hong, have no reputation, you can't be so shabby, right?
Besides, death is like a lamp going out. If you, Liu Hong, are serious about a corpse, then who else will dare to surrender in the future?
Although the defeat of the Yellow Turbans was the result of Qin Wen and other generals, there would not have been a final victory if Liu Hong had not insisted on not changing generals.
Therefore, some die-hards naively believed that Liu Hong was no longer fatuous and that the great Han Dynasty would be rejuvenated.
But now, looking at it again, Liu Hong and a corpse are both serious. How can this be a reformation? It’s obvious that he has become more powerful!
The country is easy to change, but the nature is hard to change. The foolish king is still the same foolish king. All loyal ministers are extremely despairing in their hearts.
No, we can't let this foolish king continue to harm the big man. If this continues, the big man really has no hope.
When the Yellow Turban Rebellion occurred, the court officials had the idea of removing Liu Hong and establishing a new emperor. However, the Yellow Turban offensive was too fierce at that time, and it was not suitable to depose the emperor and establish a new emperor.
Now that the great danger of the Yellow Turban has been eliminated, and the Han Dynasty has finally made some progress, but Liu Hong is still so ridiculous, how can the civil and military officials of the entire dynasty tolerate it?
Most of the reason why the big man was reviled by the world was because of Liu Hong and Shi Changshi. They were the center of the scolding.
Therefore, as long as a new emperor with a good reputation is replaced and the people's anger is vented by killing the ten permanent servants, it may be possible to reawaken the people's recognition of the Han Dynasty.
