Luo Xiao had long expected that the Han court would ignore the imperial edict.
He did not think of asking the emperor to surrender directly with just a memorandum. Which emperor would dare to surrender to the peasant army?
After experiencing the peasant uprising in the late Qin Dynasty and the two peasant uprisings in the early Han Dynasty, when the powerful heard about the peasant uprising, their whole livers and gallbladders trembled.
They would rather the powerful rebels and usurp power than the peasants to revolt and overthrow themselves.
Luo Xiao is not in a hurry to attack Luoyang, he is waiting for the siege equipment, and the people in Luoyang are panicking and waiting for the right time.
Luoyang briefly fell into a confrontation.
Some of the messengers who had rushed to Chang'an broke away from the siege of the Taiping Army and chased Luo Kong, while others went to Xiliang to look for Dong Zhuo.
In order to allow the princes of the world to recover as soon as possible so that they could save him, the emperor issued many canonization decrees to those he considered more loyal and appointed some state pastors.
…
On the thousand-mile journey from Luoyang to Chang'an, the Western Region Army was trekking non-stop, with high flags flying. The Taiping Army had been spotted before, which aroused Luo Kong's nervousness, but soon a small group of Taiping Army After they dispersed, Luo Kong felt at ease.
After dozens of miles away from Luoyang, Luo Kong was completely relieved. He sent out a large number of scouts, always paying attention to whether the Taiping Army was catching up, and then began to march normally to restore the combat effectiveness of the army. The Western Region Army, which had suffered heavy losses, was in urgent need of reorganization. , readjust personnel allocation and sort out military supplies.
There were several carriages in the army, and Crown Prince Liu Bian and others looked at the scenery outside with some curiosity.
They have been living in the palace since they were born, and have never even been to the prosperous places in Luoyang City.
Now that I suddenly left Luoyang, I was both excited and scared.
The Crown Princess Tang Ji was sitting in a car with some female members of the army. She and the Crown Prince argued for marriage, but she was too young, so naturally they were not married yet.
Cai Wenji placed a harp beside her and held a book in her hand, but she did not read it, because although there was a carriage, the carriages of this era did not have good shock absorbers, and the road surface was uneven and bumpy. In the car, it was very bumpy. Can't read.
Luokong's female officer looked at the faces of the two little girls. One of them walked out of the carriage and came to Luokong and whispered a few words.
Not only the little emperor, but also the prince Liu Xie, the crown prince Tang Ji, and the little girl Cai Yan and Cai Wenji all looked pale.
These four people are the most important gains of Luo Kong's trip, so nothing can happen to them, especially Cai Wenji, who looks very unusual at first glance.
Luo Kong came to the carriage and asked: "Wenji, these are some medicines, you can take them first.
After traveling another hundred miles and completely getting rid of the Taiping Army, the marching speed will be slower. "
After Cai Yan took the medicine, he quickly said: "Thank you, Uncle Shi. Don't worry about Yan. Please do it as you want."
You must have the attitude of being dependent on others. Now that you are no longer the eldest daughter of the Cai family, how can a little girl not feel scared when she is in a military camp?
Luo Kong could feel Cai Yan's slightly flattering attitude when he spoke, like a civet cat who was afraid of being abandoned.
He couldn't help but smile slightly, but the contact time was still too short. When he married Luo in the future, he would become familiar with her.
After a brief exchange, Luo Kong returned to the army. Looking at the green mountains and clear blue sky, all the depression in Luoyang had completely dissipated.
If we go to Chang'an, can we do some great work?
One thousand one hundred years ago in the Zhou Dynasty, the ancestor Luo Xuangong was the regent of the state. He took the prince and obeyed Guanzhong Haojing and ran all the way to Luoyang, and finally achieved the great cause of King Yi Zhongxing.
Now that I have taken Prince Bian from Luoyang to Chang'an, this is probably a reincarnation.
The only pity is that I don't have the ability to save the world like my ancestor Xuangong.
If the elder brother were regent, he would definitely be able to restore the Han Dynasty, but it is a pity that the elder brother is the one who destroyed the Han Dynasty.
Now my brother should have arrived at Luoyang City, and the emperor and ministers must be in panic all day long.
Luo Kong couldn't help laughing when he thought of this. Those who brought trouble to the world should die in boundless fear.
After laughing, Luo Kong was a little worried again.
After his brother pacified Guandong, could he really prosper the Han industry by relying solely on Guanzhong, Yizhou, Liangzhou, and the Western Regions?
There was a voice in his heart that kept telling him that it was impossible.
Taking away the crown prince now is just a matter of survival. Don't you know how powerful your brother is?
He is not just an unparalleled commander.
What identity can he not do?
What Luo Kong didn't expect was that when he was still in Zhaocheng, his brother was already extremely strong. Now that he came to the world as Zhang Jiao, he didn't expect that he would be much stronger again.
Numerous thoughts were rolling in Luo Kong's mind. Suddenly one of his guards came to him and whispered: "Sir, a messenger from the Luoyang court came to deliver the order. I checked his identity and it is true."
A messenger from the Luoyang court?
Luo Kong's expression was stunned. Now that the army is in chaos, Luoyang City has been surrounded. The emperor and the ministers must know what happened. What is the purpose of sending the messenger out now?
Luo Kong was curious and said, "Bring him here. What does the emperor want to do?"
The messenger held the bamboo tube sealed with beeswax in his arms, with a tired and nervous look on his face. After delivering this letter, he was free.
After seeing Luo Kong, the messenger was very sensible and did not engage in the formalities of announcing an edict. He directly presented the edict and said, "Your Majesty, this is the edict given to you by His Majesty."
Luo Kong stretched out his hand to take it, raised his brows and asked, "So, I'm not the only one who received the imperial edict?"
The messenger knew that he had made a mistake, but he did not dare to lie to the Western Region Army, so he could only say with a smile: "Your Majesty has issued imperial edicts to many important ministers.
But your share is the most important. Many people carry this imperial edict with them, just for fear of not being able to deliver it if something unexpected happens. "
Luo Kong knew that he and the emperor had fallen out, and this decree was probably a curse on him. He opened the seal of the bamboo tube, took out the imperial edict, unfolded it, and read it. Then his expression suddenly changed.
Imperial edicts are usually left to literary people to polish them, so that their literary talent can flourish. However, there are only a few crosses on this imperial edict, which is directly the content of what the emperor said before, without beginning or end.
If it weren't for the big seal on the edict, it would have been a fake edict.
Luo Kong thought to himself about his relationship with the emperor. No matter how harsh the emperor's scolding was, he wouldn't be surprised, but when he saw this imperial edict, he still changed his color.
From this imperial edict, Luo Kong could only see two words - selfish!
He completely regards the ancestral society of the people in the world as if it were nothing, and completely acts recklessly for his own sake.
Luo Kong couldn't help but recall Emperor Ru, the recognized tyrant of the Han Dynasty. The current emperor was not even as good as Emperor Ru. At least Emperor Ru had a great cause in his heart. This man really couldn't hold up the wall.
"What a fool!"
Luo Kong couldn't help but cursed directly. The messenger kept blinking and blinking when he saw this, but without saying anything, Luo Kong directly threw the imperial edict on the ground, and then stepped on it hard.
Not only the messenger's brows were twitching now, but also the few people on the carriage who had been watching this scene, as well as the people in the Western Region Army who saw this scene, were all frightened.
That is an imperial edict!
Luo Kong drew out his sharp sword and put it directly on the messenger's neck, and said angrily: "This is a disorderly order, I will not obey the order!
Is it because there is a treacherous villain in the court who is correcting the edicts, or is it because the emperor is stupid and issued chaotic orders?
You will return to Luoyang now and ask your Majesty to issue an edict and seal it with the emperor's treasure seal. If this is still the decree, I will obey the edict. "
As soon as Luo Kong said this, the messenger was frightened to death. If he returned to Luoyang at this time, wouldn't he be seeking death?
Don’t you know whether this is an edict or not?
But the messenger is not stupid. No one can go to Luoyang and bring back a copy of the imperial edict. The Wushuang Hou obviously does not want to obey the edict.
Facing the cold sword on his neck, the messenger said sincerely: "Your Majesty, please spare my life. I am not as smart as you. I don't know that this is an arbitrary order, so I will go back to Luoyang to ask for your Majesty's instructions."
Seeing that the messenger was very sensible, Luo Kong took the sword off the messenger's neck. The messenger complimented him a few more times, then quickly mounted his horse and left.
This Wushuanghou was so murderous that he slipped away.
When Luo Kong saw the crumpled imperial edict on the ground, he felt a burst of unknown anger in his heart. There was no way he could hand over the position of Wushuang Hou.
The Marquis Wushuang is burdened with fate. This is not the fate of a person, but the fate brought by this title. As long as this title is still there, there will always be someone to pick up the collapsed building.
His lineage has enjoyed glory and wealth for so many years and has left its name in history. Naturally, it has to shoulder this final fate. There is no need to involve the brothers anymore.
"Your Majesty, can you show me the imperial edict?"
Suddenly a slightly childish voice came from a carriage. Luokong turned around and saw that it was Prince Xie. The Prince Ben next to him probably didn't expect his younger brother to be so brave, and he was anxious to stop Liu Xie.
Luo Kong picked up the imperial edict, walked to the carriage, looked at Liu Xie deeply, and handed the edict over. Although it was not stained with water, the handwriting was still very clear even though it was stained with dust.
Liu Xie read a few crosses at a glance, his face changed slightly, and then he looked at Luo Kong seriously and said: "Your Majesty, this is indeed an edict to mess with life and be a treacherous person."
After saying that, he showed the imperial edict to the prince for review and asked, "Brother, do you think this is a random attempt to correct the imperial edict?"
Liu Bian was a little cowardly and said directly without looking at it: "It's just a random order to correct the imperial edict."
Liu Xie then turned to Luo Kong with a smile and said: "Your Majesty, please continue to send us to Chang'an. After many times in the world, you are the only loyal minister."
Luo Kong looked at the two people in front of him with a smile in his eyes. The prince Xiehe was really just like the current emperor. He was as smart and smart as he said, "Your Highness, don't worry."
After saying that, he returned to the army again and headed all the way to Chang'an.
Dong Zhuo, who was slow to enter Guanzhong, came from Chang'an to Luoyang.
Something happened. I will give you 3,000 yuan first, and then 5,000 yuan in the evening. It has been 8,000 yuan a day for 12 consecutive days. Please vote for me.
