Suddenly, two earth-shattering news broke out in Luoyang City.
First, in recent years, Taiping Dao, which has been widely spread throughout the world, actually harbors evil intentions and intends to rebel. Fortunately, someone from the Tang Dynasty and Zhou Dynasty came back to report this matter. The emperor, who had always been slack in government affairs, became rarely serious and issued a strict order to start a manhunt from Luoyang. The demon of Taiping Road.
Secondly, everyone originally thought that it was difficult for the emperor to have heirs. So far, he only has the blood of Liu Xie, but they did not expect that he had fostered Liu Bian, the eldest son of Queen He, among the people in his early years, and did not take him back to the palace until last night. Recognize each other.
While the people were discussing these two incidents, Liu Bian, as the first person and person involved in the plan to kill the Taiping Dao rebels, accompanied Emperor Liu Hong of the Han Dynasty to the court to meet with the officials.
After all the officials had arrived, Liu Hong first ordered Zhang Rang to read out the confession of Tang and Zhou Dynasty, and then asked Liu Bian to tell how Ma Yuanyi, the leader of the Taiping Road thieves in Luoyang, planned to openly raise his troops to cause chaos, and then asked Ji Yu what he had done in the palace. Important civil and military officials.
After half a day of consultation between the emperor and his ministers, it was finally decided that General He Jin would reorganize and control the armies in Luoyang and sit in the center. Lu Zhi, Huangfu Song, and Zhu Jun would be awarded the rank of lieutenant general, and each would command an elite army to rebel along the Taiping Road.
After all the arrangements had been made, Liu Bian suddenly took the initiative to go out and salute upward: "Father, as a prince of the Han Dynasty, I should also do my part for the country of the Han Dynasty. Please send a brigade of troops to the capital to put down the rebellion." , Report to the king and father, and I hope that my father will give me permission!"
As soon as this statement came out, the whole court was shocked. At that time, a group of stable and veteran ministers came out one after another. They all said that as the eldest prince, His Highness's safety is related to the country's foundation. How can he easily take risks?
Liu Hong refused at the beginning. Although father and son had not seen each other for many years and the family relationship was extremely weak, with such a talented and virtuous son standing in front of him, he could not help but feel a bit of cherishment and naturally did not want him to take risks.
Liu Bian saw that his father and the ministers were trying to dissuade him, so he quietly winked at General He Jin, who was at the head of the military rank.
As Liu Bian's uncle, He Jin thought that in the early hours of the morning, a man in black who claimed to be the messenger of the eldest prince Liu Bian sneaked into his bedroom without anyone noticing and handed over an autographed letter from Liu Bian. The wink clearly reminded him to act according to the instructions in the letter.
He had already discussed with his advisers and believed that what Liu Bian said in the letter made sense. At this moment, without any hesitation, he spoke loudly:
"Your Highness wants to report to your father because of your loyalty and filial piety; you were able to kill the traitors last night because of your wisdom and courage. At this time of crisis, your Highness returned to the heavenly home, which is a blessing from heaven to the great man. Your Majesty is loyal and filial to you. Virtue, use your wisdom and courage to act in accordance with nature and respond to people!"
Now that he is the leader of the military ministers, he is very popular. Naturally, there will be no shortage of supporters in the court. As soon as he speaks a word, many civil and military officials will immediately come out to support him.
Liu Hong had always been soft-spoken, and when he saw He Jin's words, he felt that they made sense. After much deliberation, he finally agreed and ordered He Jin to mobilize 10,000 elite troops, led by Liu Bian, to go to Youzhou to quell the rebellion.
After the disbandment of the dynasty, Liu Bian first went to the harem to say goodbye to his biological mother, Queen He, who was full of reluctance. Then he went to Xunhe to obtain the order documents for troop deployment. He arranged 10,000 elite troops and a supply of food and grass that day, and led the troops early the next morning. Luoyang exits the north gate.
As soon as the army arrived at the north gate, Shi A, a famous swordsman from Luoyang, suddenly blocked the road in front of Liu Bian's horse. He said that although he was a common man, he also knew the righteousness and was willing to lead three hundred knights to serve.
Liu Bian didn't seem to mind Shi'a's background at all. He personally held his hand and gave him warm words of comfort, and publicly appointed him as a fake military prince. All three hundred knights were under his control and formed an army of their own.
After this episode, the army continued to move north.
When passing through Beimang Mountain, Liu Bian ordered the army to stop for a while, and asked Huang Zhong, who had been with him since the night before, to sit in the army, while he and his two sworn brothers went up the mountain to say goodbye to Hu Huan.
When the three children came up the mountain, they were shocked at what they saw - the huge "Gourd Temple" had disappeared without a trace, leaving only an open space where a man who had been following him for many years stood alone. Hu Long also took care of Liu Bian's Taoist Shi Zixuan.
Liu Bian stepped forward, grabbed Shi Zixuan and asked eagerly: "Uncle Shi, where is my foster father?"
Shi Zixuan took out a scroll of silk book from his sleeve: "Your Highness, the temple master said the night before that he had to travel far away for something, and he left yesterday. He said there are still some things to tell you, and they are all written in this letter. In the letter..."
"The foster father is indeed gone..."
Liu Bian did not take the letter, but looked at the place where he had lived for more than ten years, but now there was only an open space, muttering to himself, with tears in his eyes.
Zhao Yun stepped forward and first asked Shi Zixuan about his master Tong Yuan. After learning that he had also left with Hu Yuan, although there was a sad look on his face, he turned back and patted Liu Bian on the shoulder hard and said:
"Second brother, my uncle and master have taught us all these years. Letting go now means that we have recognized that we are ready to leave. As disciples, what we have to do is not to be sad because of the departure of our master, but to work hard to make achievements. , to comfort the teacher’s heart!”
Liu Bian was stunned for a moment, then suddenly raised his hand to wipe away his tears, and laughed and said: "The eldest brother still sees clearly, but the younger brother was temporarily narrow-minded."
After saying that, he took the letter from Shi Zixuan, read it carefully, and said with a smile: "Uncle Shi, my adoptive father Xinzhong said that you and Teacher Huang should stay with us, and I will still have to trouble you in the future. "
Shi Zixuan said happily: "The temple master also explained it before, and said that the opportunity for Pindao to form an elixir and become an earthly immortal lies with His Highness, so Pindao should continue to follow His Highness."
At that time, Sanxiao Wangkong bowed several times, and then went down the mountain with Shi Zixiao.
When the four of them walked away, three people appeared out of thin air. They were Hu Long, Tong Yuan, and Wang Yue, the incarnation of Hu Long's white ape brother in this world.
Wang Yue smiled and said: "Junior brother, you have been planning for many years. Now that the chess game is about to begin, I am just waiting to see what your methods are like!"
"You will never disappoint senior brother." Hu Long smiled and handed over his hand, "Next, I will ask senior brother and brother Tong to act according to their previous plans. Pindao will also go north to explore the truth of Bai Zeng. After all, if you know yourself, you will know the other side. The way to win every battle.”
Wang Yue said with some worry: "That Bai Zeng is powerful and has strange methods. He also has two powerful demonic soldiers, the Tiger Soul Sword and the Chi You Banner. Junior brother, you must be careful in everything you do."
Hu Long smiled and said: "Senior brother, don't worry. I have recently developed a new magical power. It may not be enough to defeat the enemy, but it is more than enough to protect yourself."
After saying that, he bowed his hands to the two of them, and his body turned into the breeze and disappeared without a trace.
Wang Yue and Tong Yuan also bowed to each other and left by their own means.
On the other side, a few people from the imperial court had just left the capital, and Taiping Road had already received the news.
Now that the news has been leaked, Zhang Jiao did not care about the prophecy that "the age of Jiazi will bring good luck to the world" and ordered all the big and small Qushuai from all parties to start a rebellion together, and the Han Dynasty was suddenly at war.
