White Horse Temple was built in the 11th year of Yongping in the Eastern Han Dynasty. It was the first temple built after Buddhism was introduced to China.

Liu Hong, Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty, highly praised Buddhism.

It is precisely because of this that Liu Hong left the palace to relax at the White Horse Temple and prayed for the great man at the White Horse Temple.

Because White Horse Temple is not too far from Luoyang, Liu Hong only brought less than a hundred imperial guards with him when he left the palace this time.

On the night of the third day after arriving at White Horse Temple, Liu Hong was patiently reciting scriptures. Suddenly, a personal attendant gently knocked on Liu Hong's door.

"Your Majesty, please go to the Military Academy Lieutenant Jian Shuo to ask for an audience."

Hearing Xiao Huangmen's words, Liu Hong raised his eyebrows instantly.

He quickly put down the scripture in his hand and asked loudly outside the house happily: "Is Jian Shuo returning victorious?"

"The Colonel said he has good news and can't wait to share it with His Majesty."

"it is good!"

Liu Hong opened the door with excitement on his face.

"He Jin took advantage of the bandits' self-respect and thought that he could use these three hundred yellow turban bandits to cause chaos and continue to expand his military power. But He Jin certainly didn't expect that I have a strong general like Jian Shuo who can relieve me of my worries."

"Now the three hundred Yellow Turban bandits have been wiped out by Jian Shuo. When Jian Shuo's class teacher returns to the court, I must explain He Jin's incompetence in detail in front of all the civil and military officials."

Having said this, Liu Hongcai said to Xiao Huangmen waiting at the door: "Go and bring Jian Shuo to see me. I will reward him well this time."

Xiao Huangmen nodded respectfully, and then whispered to Liu Hong: "Your Majesty, there are two military generals accompanying the Colonel. The Colonel said that these two generals are the heroes in wiping out the Yellow Turban bandits this time. "

"Well, since they are heroes, let them follow Jian Shuo to see me. I also have rewards for them. By the way, let them also pay tribute to my heavenly power!"

As Xiao Huangmen was ordered to leave, Jian Shuo soon led Wei Chu and Pei Yuanshao into the sutra hall where Liu Hong was chanting sutras.

When he first saw Wei Chu and Pei Yuanshao, Liu Hong couldn't help but frown.

Because Wei Chu and Pei Yuanshao did not salute Liu Hong after entering the door.

And there didn't seem to be much awe in the eyes of these two people.

However, considering that Wei Chu and Pei Yuanshao were junior generals in the army and might not understand the rules, Liu Hong did not directly argue with Wei Chu and Pei Yuanshao.

His eyes fell on Jian Shuo.

Seeing that Jian Shuo's face was a bit ugly, Liu Hong's brows that had just relaxed could not help but wrinkle again.

"Jian Shuo, you just came back from victory, why do you seem a little unhappy?"

Jian Shuo showed a tangled look on his face, and after a moment, he whispered to Liu Hong: "Your Majesty, although I returned victorious, I got a huge secret from the three hundred yellow turban bandits."

"This secret is related to the general. In order to prevent the partition wall from having ears, I would like to ask your Majesty to order the imperial guards in the courtyard to leave temporarily."

Liu Hong glanced at Jian Shuo.

Although he vaguely felt something was wrong, Liu Hong finally chose to believe in Jian Shuo.

"Wang Zheng, you and the imperial guards in the courtyard will leave together for the time being."

Wang Zheng is the little yellow gate waiting outside.

As Liu Hong finished speaking, the courtyard quickly became quiet.

"Jian Shuo, you can tell the secret now."

After Liu Hong finished speaking, Jian Shuo suddenly knelt on the ground.

"Your Majesty, Jian Shuo can't help you."

Jian Shuo's move immediately confused Liu Hong.

However, before Liu Hong could react, Pei Yuanshao suddenly stepped forward, rushed in front of Liu Hong, and grabbed Liu Hong's neck.

"It turns out that the rumors are all lies. There is no difference between the emperor and ordinary people. I feel that as long as I use a little force on my hand, I can directly break the emperor's neck."

Liu Hong was choked by Pei Yuanshao.

This change happened too suddenly.

For a moment, Liu Hong didn't react at all, and even forgot to struggle.

When Liu Hong reacted, he instantly felt a strong feeling of suffocation.

At this moment, Liu Hong was completely panicked.

It was at this time that Wei Chu's voice reached Liu Hong's ears.

"Your Majesty, if you want to die, we can help you now. If you want to live, my third brother will let go of your hand in a while, but you must not make a sound."

Wei Chu's words fell, and Pei Yuanshao slowly released his palm.

The feeling of suffocation has just been relieved.

Liu Hong was about to shout for help.

But just as he was about to speak out, he thought of Wei Chu's threat just now.

Thinking of this, Liu Hong quickly shut up.

After taking a deep breath to ease the fear in his heart, Liu Hong whispered to Wei Chu and Pei Yuanshao: "Who are you? Do you know that assassinating me is a major crime that will destroy the nine tribes?"

"You just retreat now, and I can pretend that nothing happened."

After hearing Liu Hong's words, Wei Chu walked up to Liu Hong with a smile.

He looked Liu Hong up and down.

Wei Chu felt slightly disappointed.

Wei Chu originally thought that even if the emperor did not have good fortune, he should at least have an outstanding temperament.

But the Liu Hong in front of him had an ordinary figure and ordinary appearance.

Taking off his dragon robe, he looked even less handsome than Pei Yuanshao.

In addition, Liu Hongyintang was slightly darkened and his skin was pale.

One look at him revealed that he was very weak and likely to be short-lived.

Shaking his head lightly.

Wei Chu then said to Liu Hong: "Let me introduce myself. My name is Wei Chu. I was originally a song commander in the Yellow Turban Army. Because Huangfu Song attacked Quyang, I had no choice but to lead three hundred brothers south."

Hearing Wei Chu's words, Liu Hong's brows froze slightly.

Until now, Liu Hong finally figured out Wei Chu's identity.

It turns out that Wei Chu is the leader of the three hundred yellow turban bandits.

Thinking of this, Liu Hong couldn't help but turn his head and look at Jian Shuo.

Jian Shuo led 1000 people and was ordered to wipe out the Yellow Turban bandits.

Could it be that Jian Shuo was defeated so quickly and became a prisoner of the Yellow Turban bandits?

Moreover, Jian Shuo also betrayed himself.

At this time, Wei Chu's voice reached Liu Hong's ears again.

"General Jian Shuo sympathized with us that it was not easy to make a living, so he offered to take us to the White Horse Temple to see His Majesty."

"We are here to disturb His Majesty today, not to harm His Majesty, but to hope that His Majesty can give us an official position."

Wei Chu's words made Liu Hong breathe a long sigh of relief.

Wei Chu and others came here today to ask for an official position.

As long as Wei Chu and others are satisfied, Liu Hong should not be in danger of his life today.

As long as he can save his life today, Liu Hong will have many ways to deal with Wei Chu and Jian Shuo.

After Liu Hong felt at ease, he became much more calm than before.

He glanced at Wei Chu and Pei Yuanshao again, and finally said: "The fact that you have fought all the way from Jizhou here shows that you do have some abilities. Now is the time for the imperial court to employ people. You will follow me back to Luoyang tomorrow morning. I will treat you very well." All are rewarded.”

Having said this, Liu Hong waved his hands to Wei and Chu.

"I don't need to pursue any offense against you. You can go out now, and I will continue to recite the scriptures."
