Everyone was waiting anxiously in the palace.
Not long after, Queen He came with three underage princes, namely the quasi-prince Liu Bian, the emperor's concubine Liu Xie, the emperor's second son Liu He, and a ten-year-old girl who was Liu Bian's legal wife. Tang Ji was received in Luoyang first, and when the crown prince was canonized, she became the crown princess.
Liu Bian is the twelve-year-old eldest son, and he is definitely the crown prince. Moreover, the decree to confer the title of crown prince has been issued, and he is only waiting for the final canonization ceremony to officially become the crown prince.
These three princes are not very old, but Liu Bian and Liu Xie are already over ten years old, and they are basically free from the danger of early death.
But Liu He, the third son of the emperor, was only three or four years old. At this age, he was still in danger of dying young. If he had to travel thousands of miles to escape, he would basically be dead.
If you stay in the city.
Luo Kong thought about his brother, who might be able to save his life, as well as the women in the harem. With his brother's magnanimity, he would not embarrass these women and children.
On the surface, the city of Luoyang seemed to be in danger, and everyone was worried that after Zhang Jiao entered the city, he would go on a killing spree, but in fact, the only ones in real danger were the rebellious ministers and the emperor.
Queen He was able to rise from a humble family to become a queen. Naturally, she was extremely beautiful. She was a rare beauty. Moreover, as a queen, she was full of nobility, which was breathtaking as she gazed upon her.
But for Luo Kong, the only thing that attracted him was the two children held by Queen He.
Seeing the prince entering the palace, the emperor said anxiously: "Wu Shuanghou, now that the three princes have arrived, please tell me your future plans."
Luo Kong had already made plans in his mind. He looked at the emperor and the ministers and asked loudly: "Your Majesty, ministers, Zhang Jiao may appear at the gate of Luoyang at any time. I don't know how much time we have to leave. Every time If you delay for a while, the casualties caused by your escape will be greater, do you still want to clean up the things?"
The emperor is naturally unwilling to deal with it. He is the master of the world. As long as he can escape with his life, what can he get?
But how could Shi Changshi give up all the wealth he had collected for decades?
Some ministers in the palace who have always had a good reputation can be said to have little wealth, so they naturally don't care. However, most of the ministers have great wealth, and like the ten permanent servants, they are unwilling to give up.
These ministers and ministers knew in their hearts that it would be useless to take everything away, but they clamored that some valuables must be taken away, and the palace suddenly became noisy.
Luo Kong didn't have the slightest hint of impatience in his heart, but sneered. He walked straight towards Liu Bian and Liu Xie, then turned around and said, "Your Majesty, since you all have to clean up your affairs, please return to your mansion quickly.
The princes were young and had difficulty moving, so I took them back to the military camp first and prepared a good carriage for them to prevent the bumps along the way from causing inconvenience to the two princes.
The crown princess also came with her ministers. The emperor's three sons are young and should not leave the queen's side. "
Following Luo Kong's words, the palace suddenly became quiet. After all, Luo Kong's arrangement was very appropriate and gave them a chance to clean up their troubles.
No one expected Luo Kong to be so easy to talk to. They thought Luo Kong would definitely reprimand them for their behavior of asking for money rather than their lives.
After all, the Wushuang Marquis was notoriously bad-tempered, and he was a strange person to the Luo family who always followed etiquette.
As everyone knows, Luo Kong doesn't want to waste time with these people at all.
The emperor was still hesitating, so the ministers stood up and said: "Your Majesty, I think what Wushuang Hou said is very appropriate. Without further delay, I would like to ask your Majesty to give the order quickly. That Zhang Jiao army may come to the city in a short time. ah."
This is probably a rare scene where the court officials and the ten permanent servants can reach an agreement, and the eunuchs and relatives do not directly confront each other.
Queen He's face was full of reluctance, but she still handed Liu Bian's hand to Luo Kong, "Wu Shuanghou, I will leave the crown prince to you."
Luo Kong smiled and said: "Don't worry, it's not a separation of life and death. You and the prince will definitely see each other soon."
He was secretly happy in his heart. The prince had got it. He didn't expect it to be so smooth. He reached out and pulled Liu Xie up again, feeling even more stable in his heart. With double insurance, this situation was stable.
Then he said to the little girl Tang Ji next to him with a pleasant look: "Princess, please follow the prince and go with the ministers."
The little girl still had no idea what was going on, but when she saw her husband obediently following the embarrassed uncle in front of her, she nodded playfully.
Luo Kong took the two princes and bowed to the emperor: "Your Majesty, I will return to the military camp first. Your Majesty will be here for ten thousand years, and the great Han will be here for ten thousand years!"
After that, he led the three people outside the palace. Naturally, he was not the only one who entered the palace. There were also three personal guards and three female officials, all of whom came from Zhaocheng.
When the six people saw Luo Kong walking out of the hall, they hurriedly greeted them. Luo Kong introduced the identities of Liu Bian and the three people in front of them.
The sight of the six people instantly lit up. The prince, the princess and a prince were really enough. The two guards directly carried Liu Bian and Liu Xie onto the horse, while Tang Ji was carried on the horse by the female officer beside Luo Kong.
"Wushuang Hou!"
As Luo Kong left, the ministers in the palace also began to walk out. Suddenly Luo Kong heard someone running towards him. He turned around and saw a rather elegant-looking scribe coming towards him.
"Your Majesty, I am Cai Yong."
Cai Yong!
Even though Luokong lived in the Western Regions, he had heard of Cai Yong's name. He was a great Confucian of the time and was invited to Zhaocheng many times to publish various scriptures.
The most important thing is that he has a photographic memory and a huge collection of books. Outside of the Luo family, there is almost no one in the world who has more books than Cai Yong.
"Is there something important Mr. Cai?"
Cai Yong sighed slightly and said: "Your Majesty, Yong has wasted half his life. There are no treasures at home, only ten thousand volumes of books, which Cai has collected for many years, but Yong knows that it is impossible to take away these treasures.
But sitting back and watching these collections of books destroyed at the hands of the Taiping Army, Yong thought that he had no hope of surviving in this situation. This time he fled to Chang'an, and he was unwilling to go. He only wanted to live and die with these collections of books.
However, among the books in this collection, there are hundreds of them that are single copies. They are not even in the Luo family's collection room. It would be a pity if they were lost like this.
There was a girl in Yong, named Yan, who had a photographic memory. He asked his daughter to write down all the hundreds of volumes of books in the hope that the prince would take her away. "
Luo Kong never expected that Cai Yong would do this. When he heard that Cai Yong was willing to live and die with the collection of books, Luo Kong knew that Cai Yong would not die. His brother would never do such a thing as burning books. , Cai Yong is a great scholar who enjoys special allowances from the Luo family, and his brother will never kill him.
But there is no need to talk to Cai Yong about these things. Anyway, he will naturally know when the time comes. Luo Kong is very interested in the Cai Yan mentioned by Cai Yong. The strange woman who can write down thousands of volumes of books is placed among the Luo family. There are not many people in the world who can do it, and Luo Kong himself can't do it anyway.
He glanced at Cai Yong again, he was really an elegant and beautiful man, and immediately responded: "Cai Yong is deeply affectionate, and books are indeed the most precious things in the world.
The Luo family has the most important collection of books, and even if they risk their lives, they will definitely ensure Miss Cai's safety.
When the world is a little more stable, I will send Miss Cai to Zhaocheng. I wonder if Miss Cai can get married? "
Luo Kong's words made Cai Yong's heart beat loudly. He quickly said: "My daughter has not made a promise to anyone yet, so she does not need to be bound by etiquette. If the prince is willing to take away my daughter, Yong will have no regrets. Marriage Major matters will be left to the king."
Cai Yong often went to Zhaocheng to work for the Luo family, and his daughter was so outstanding. Of course, what he always wanted was for his daughter to marry into the Luo family.
Over the years, there have been people who wanted to marry him, but they were all rejected by him. He planned to pick a time to take his daughter with him when he went to Zhaocheng.
I didn't expect that I would have such an opportunity now. It's such a surprise.
Luo Kong said with a smile: "If Miss Cai is really talented, Kong will ensure a good marriage for Miss Cai among the Luo family. Yu'er, the three of you will go to Cai Mansion with Mr. Cai and take Miss Cai to the military camp. Go as soon as possible." Come back."
As Luo Kong's closest confidants, these people all knew how eager Luo Kong was. The remaining guard and two female officers quickly took Cai Yong away.
Luo Kongze and the other three female escorts took Liu Bian and the others out of the palace in a hurry. Now that the light was gradually brightening, the wealthy families were tidying up their belongings. This scene naturally attracted the attention of many people. But the ordinary people in Luoyang City still don't know what happened.
Luo Kong only arrived after galloping all night, and the rest of the defeated army had not yet reported the defeat. Therefore, although they knew that the court was fighting, no one thought that the court would really lose. After all, the emperor was in Luoyang City. If not, can they really be beaten to Luoyang City by those rebellious Taiping Taoists?
After Luo Kong and others left the palace, they couldn't help laughing, and they rushed to the military camp outside the palace almost non-stop.
Naturally, the guards at the city gate would not stop Luo Kong. As the creaking suspension bridge was lowered, the few people left Luoyang City very smoothly.
Only a few hours have passed since Luo Kong entered the palace and left the palace now. This efficiency is really too high. It is indeed the right thing to not argue with those useless ministers in the court.
Luo Kong expected that his brother would definitely want the Taiping Army to rest for a night before starting on the road the next day, and the army would definitely not be as fast as he was on the road.
However, I am afraid that the cavalry will arrive first and drive back all those who try to leave Luoyang. Therefore, if I don't want to fight with the Taiping Army again, I must leave here within two or three hours.
After a short rest, the Western Region Army recovered a lot of energy and only brought dry food and water. As long as they could escape into Guanzhong, they would have these things.
Ta-ta-ta!
With the rapid sound of horse hoofbeats, the three people who had left with Cai Yong rode back. One of the female officers was holding a girl in her arms. Judging from her age, she must have just reached haircut. Luo Kong saw this girl for the first time. , just one reaction, so beautiful!
You can imagine how precious it is to be praised by Luo Shizi for how beautiful she is, and the second reaction is that she is full of aura.
The bookish aura almost overflowed from his body, and his pupils were full of aura, just like the clear sky after the rain. She must be a talented woman. Cai Yong must not have lied. The moment he saw this girl In an instant, Luo Kong knew that the descendants of the Luo family were blessed.
Both "Historical Records" and "Hanshu" contain biographies of strange women, and there are chapters about ancestors in them. Who can not yearn for them?
It's true that Luo Shizi didn't like marriage, but when he met those amazing women whose reputations would be passed down through the ages, he was not reserved at all, and they always struck first and gained the upper hand.
For 1,300 years, the Luo family has now known that women like the ancestor Xizi and the ancestor Mingfei are loved by God, so they have qualities beyond the understanding of mortals, such as beauty and immortality.
Which Luo family member doesn’t want a wonderful woman whom God loves as his wife?
Our ancestor King Su always congratulated such marriages,
Luo Kong didn't know if this girl had the ability to stay beautiful forever, but she must be the one loved by God.
made money!
Luo Kong felt that he was really making a lot of money from helping Cai Yong. Cai Yan looked at Wushuang Hou with the holy mark on his eyebrows, got off the horse and made a blessing ceremony, and said cheerfully: "Yan pays homage to Uncle Shi. "
Luo Kong still looks quite young, but if the age of early marriage is really calculated, there is indeed no problem in being Cai Yan's father.
In particular, Cai Yong directly handed over Cai Yan's marriage matters to Luo Kong. When he heard what Cai Yan said, he immediately smiled and said: "Good girl, since you call me Uncle Shi, I will take good care of you from now on, Yu'er, Prince." The concubine and Miss Cai will be left to the three of you, so be sure to take good care of them.
Let's go! "
Set off?
Liu Bian and others were a little confused, Liu Bian was a little cowardly, but Liu Xie asked directly: "Junhou, why don't we wait for my father and the minister to leave together?"
Go together?
It would be better to say they died together.
Luo Kong has never promised them to go together. Can he still run away after those people finish packing up Xinruan?
What they said in the palace before did not say that they would wait for the emperor and the ministers, it was just that they thought so.
Now that the prince is in his hands, the emperor will definitely die this time, and he will directly support the prince to ascend the throne. The only pity is that the position of emperor will definitely be gone this time, and only the position of emperor will remain.
As Luo Kong led several people away, he said: "Your Highness Prince Xie, remember that the emperor cannot abandon his subjects and run away. If he abandons his subjects, his destiny will disappear."
When the destiny was mentioned and Luo Kong spoke in a sinister tone, Liu Xie, a child, was immediately frightened and nodded repeatedly.
The Western Regions Cavalry broke out of camp and left at an extremely fast speed. In almost a quarter of an hour, the long military camp outside Luoyang City disappeared, leaving only the empty space before.
"You said all the Western Region Army has left?"
When the emperor heard the news, he was completely confused, and the heads of the ministers who got the news were also buzzing.
"The prince has been taken away!"
If they didn't know what was going on at this time, they would be fools. Luo Kong played a trick and tricked everyone, including the emperor.
He took the prince away and left the emperor in Luoyang City. He even said: "The emperor must not abandon his subjects and flee. In the past, even though the emperor of Zhou had a lot of unrighteousness, he never abandoned the city of Luoyang. Your Majesty will stick to Luoyang, and the world will be loyal to the king." It must be inspiring, and the Han Dynasty can cheer up."
The emperor and countless ministers angrily scolded: "Luokong, you bastard, you are so cheating, you will die!"
Luo Kong led the troops from the Western Regions to Guanzhong without stopping.
————
Kong has great power and is good at changing situations. When peace is coming to Luoyang, the emperor and his ministers still put wealth and goods first. Seeing the emergency, Kong uses words to cover up his intentions and runs away with the prince Bian, the prince concubine Tang Ji and the prince Xie to save their lives. . ——"Book of the Later Han·Wushuang Hou Family"
