After hearing this, Mrs. He changed her color, stood up suddenly, and said, "Are you telling the truth?"
Liu Bian's face was so stiff that he didn't feel much. He smiled and said, "When have I ever deceived my mother? I promised my mother what things I failed to do?"
Empress Dowager He looked cryptic. After a moment, she revealed the truth and said: "Bian'er, the He family has received great kindness in the past. Without that benefactor, there would be no Queen Mother and you would not be where you are today. He is not interceding for the Yuan family, but he just doesn't want to Going on a killing spree is detrimental to your sanctity."
Naturally, Liu Bian would not let go of the Yuan family. As the saying goes, if the grass is cut without eradicating the root, it will grow again when the spring breeze blows. Especially for the Yuan family, they must be exterminated, otherwise there is no telling what troubles will follow.
Liu Bian could no longer hold on any longer, so he had to say: "Mother, the courtiers have different thoughts. It's difficult to predict which one, so don't trust them easily. The Yuan family can't let it go!"
After Liu Bian finished speaking, he closed his eyes and fell into a deep sleep.
Queen Mother He wanted to continue talking, but when she saw that Liu Bian was hot all over and sweating on his head, she anxiously went to urge the doctor again.
Soon after, Tang Ji came back, and the two women hurriedly fed Liu Bian medicine.
This tossing lasted for half an hour, until Liu Bian stabilized, and then Queen Mother He breathed a sigh of relief and walked out of the bedroom.
Tang Mao followed Queen Mother He silently.
Queen Mother He was very conflicted. As the current Queen Mother, she was still very eager to repay that great favor, but her son was obviously more important, which made her hesitant.
"Prefect Tang, what do you think I should do?" Queen Mother He asked as she walked slowly.
Tang Mao had been waiting for the Queen Mother He's question, and immediately said: "The Queen Mother, I believe that bloodthirsty is not the behavior of a wise king."
Queen Mother He frowned. In her heart, her son's throne was the most important thing.
The father-in-law actually didn't help her son-in-law, and she felt a little dissatisfied with the in-laws.
He also calmed down his thoughts about Yi Zhi.
Outside the palace gate.
As time went by, countless people became anxious.
Xun You and Zhong Yao entered the palace several times to ask to see Liu Bian, but Pan Yin blocked them all.
In Situ Ding Palace, Sikong Liu Hong never showed up.
Zuo Li deployed his men throughout Luoyang City, waiting to arrest people and ransack their homes.
Outside Luoyang City, Cao Cao and Xu Rong joined forces, and the two of them were almost reaching Runan County.
In front of the gate of Yuan Mansion.
Yang Biao, Dong Zhuo, and Wang Yun did not speak, but waited quietly.
Yang Biao and Dong Zhuo were somewhat indifferent in their hearts. Only Wang Yun was the most determined and vowed in his heart that he must deal with the Yuan family today!
A fast horse rushed from the direction of the palace. The guard jumped directly and landed behind Wang Yun. He stepped forward and whispered: "My lord, there is nothing strange in the palace, and there is no intention."
Wang Yun immediately turned to Yang Biao and Dong Zhuo and said in a deep voice: "I want to take action, please make a decision!"
Yang Biao had already felt calm and just nodded.
Dong Zhuo sat up straight, drew his sword, and shouted loudly: "The Yuan family has violated the law, and they must be punished for their crimes! If you enter the house, if there is any obstruction, you will be killed on the spot!"
The imperial troops who had been prepared for a long time rushed to the door quickly, opened the door with almost no effort, and swarmed in.
The backyard of Yuan Mansion.
Servants kept coming to report, and the Yuan Mansion, which was originally peaceful, suddenly became a mess.
The women and children of the Yuan family were crying loudly, and the servants and maids were also in panic.
Yuan Wei had no expression on his face, stood up slowly with a crutch, silently looked in the direction of the door, and said softly: "One wrong step, one wrong step."
He has been having a strange thought recently. If Yuan Shao led troops into the palace for the first time and killed the eunuchs, wouldn't there be so many things later?
Or, if He Jin failed to kill the eunuchs and was killed instead, and Dong Zhuo came to Beijing, would the situation be completely different?
Yuan Ji stood beside him, his face was as sharp as iron, and he gritted his teeth.
Behind him, there were several cousins, holding weapons in their hands, as if they were going to fight for their lives.
Yuan Wei saw the imperial army rushing over and said: "Don't mess around, maybe you can still save a life."
Yuan Ji didn't say anything, he didn't believe it at all. At this time, how could the Yuan family still survive?
The imperial army rushed over, and even the powerful servants resisted. There was no chance or possibility at all. Including Yuan Wei, more than 20 direct members of the Yuan family were all arrested.
Wang Yun sat on the horse, looking down at the prisoner Yuan Wei, his heart suddenly filled with pride, his face could not conceal his pride, and he loudly said: "All of them are escorted to the Tingwei Mansion!"
Yuan Wei looked at Wang Yun, then at Yang Biao and Dong Zhuo, his expression calm and silent.
But when the three of them saw it, their hearts felt inexplicably cold.
The imperial army responded to the order and escorted everyone from the Yuan family to Tingwei's Mansion.
Countless people who did not dare to show their heads but stared at the Yuan family saw this scene and quickly spread throughout Luoyang City.
Wang Yun was escorting everyone from the Yuan family, and suddenly turned to the military commander behind him and said, "Where are the members of the Yuan family?"
The military commander said: "The last general was ordered to arrest the Yuan family, and I don't know about the rest."
Wang Yun frowned, he only arrested the Yuan family, but there was no list of party members. He glanced at the Yuan family in the prison car, his expression darkened, and said: "Go to Tingwei Mansion as soon as possible, interrogate them strictly, and order them to hand over the list of party members! "
The Imperial Guards responded and accelerated their advance.
At the same time, people from Huangmen North Temple Prison were all over Luoyang City, arresting people according to the list.
Guangyang Gate.
Zuo Li was at the teahouse not far away. He saw people coming and going at the city gate, and another one was recognized and taken away. He turned to Zhonghuangmen beside him in a funny way and said, "What number is this?"
Zhonghuangmen laughed along with him and said, "This is the seventh one."
Zuo Li's eyes were filled with a sinister smile, and he said: "These people didn't know how to run away a long time ago, and they want to go out of town now. They are really stupid."
Just as Zhonghuangmen was about to agree, he suddenly said: "Noble sir, did the villain see it wrong? Why do you look so much like Lieutenant Dong?"
Zuo Li quickly followed his gaze and saw Dong Zhuo, who was wearing coarse cloth in a convoy transporting grain. Even if he was disguised, his tall figure and conspicuous red lips still gave him away.
Zuo Li's snow-white face turned sinister, and he laughed and said: "Go and send a message. The city gates are closed. All the city gates are closed. Let people keep an eye on Dong Zhuo and prevent him from running out of the capital!"
"Yes." Zhonghuangmen responded and trotted down quickly.
On the street, he pretended to be a strong man pushing a cart, and he couldn't help but get excited when he saw that he was about to reach the city gate.
As long as he leaves this city gate, he will be a local emperor again. He no longer has to look at people's faces everywhere in this capital and live in fear every day!
"I'm ordered to close the city gate!" the Yulin army guarding the gate shouted, and then the city gate quickly closed.
Li Su, who was behind Dong Zhuo, saw this and whispered: "Dong Gong, I'm afraid the imperial court will react and close the city gate to prevent the Yuan family members from escaping."
Dong Zhuo was surprised and asked, "Then, is there any other way?"
He can't stay in Luoyang City for a moment!
Li Su saw a city gate guard approaching and said hurriedly: "Mr. Dong, we can't leave for the time being. It's better to go back and discuss it later."
Dong Zhuo's face flashed with hatred, full of anger and unwillingness, so he could only follow the convoy and turn around.
Zuo Li had a panoramic view of them all, and when he saw Dong Zhuo turn around, his expression became even more proud, and he said loudly: "Let's go and see other city gates. Are there any other ministers who want to leave the city?"
Zuo Li was followed by more than twenty people in front of him, clearing the way on both sides, full of momentum.
