Qing Song Xun Ling [Three Kingdoms]

The shock in his eyes was self-evident, Xun Yu looked at Xun You who was sweating on his forehead, opened his mouth but said nothing.

Now it is only three years since Zhongping, and there are still three full years before the death of the Ling Emperor in history, why did he die when he said that he died before?

The coat he had just put on was ripped off in shock, Xun Yu clenched the material in his hands, and all kinds of information that should not exist in this world flashed through his mind.

——In the sixth year of Zhongping, Bingwushuo in summer and April, there was an eclipse in the sun, Bingchen, the emperor died in the Jiade Hall of Nangong, in the year 34, Wuwu, the prince argued that he was the emperor, in the seventeenth year, the honored queen was called the empress dowager, the empress dowager In the court, the world was amnesty, the Yuan was changed to Guangxi, and the emperor's younger brother Xie was named the king of Bohai.

Xun Yu remembered clearly that it was recorded in the "Book of the Later Han Dynasty * The Biography of Emperor Xiaoling" that Emperor Ling died in the sixth year of Zhongping, and now it is only three years since Zhongping. misremembered.

There was no news of Emperor Ling being seriously ill in the palace before, and even the emperor who was making troubles a few days ago wanted to hold a big military parade in the capital, how could he suddenly die?

It's not scary that Lingdi died, what's scary is that there were no signs before.

Feeling chills in his heart, Xun Yu suddenly realized that some things had changed before he noticed.

Even ordinary people will have various omens before death, not to mention emperors, such things as sudden death are rare, and most of them can find out the reason, but the sudden death that happened in the royal family is not so easy.

There is a lot of gossip inside the palace walls, and the sudden death is just a cover-up, but no one dares to put these two words on the emperor.

Because he had tried to change what was going to happen before but there was no result. Xun Yu knew how difficult it was to change the established event. Now that such a big change happened suddenly, it was no less than a thunderbolt directly in his ear.

The same was true of his own reaction when he got the news, so Xun You didn't think too much about Xun Yu's shock, but now is not the time to be shocked.

Xun You didn't leave a buffer for Xun Yu, so Xun You led the people out quickly, the worry on his face was obvious.

The Holy Majesty is now in his prime, but he passed away suddenly, and the prince below him is young and ignorant about how to be emperor, and he is afraid that he will be left behind, and his relatives will compete with the eunuchs.

The emperor was young, and the one in power could only be an outsider, not himself.

Now that the news of Emperor Ling's death had reached them, the capital must have been under martial law at this time, no matter how ridiculous it was when Emperor Ling was in power, the royal family still had absolute authority at this time.

Hastily asked the servants to set up road sacrifices, Xun Yu and Xun You stood in front of the door for a while and then went to the study, the death knell had already started to ring, and within a day, the news of Lingdi's death would spread throughout the world.

Only then will it be real—the world is in chaos!

Although Emperor Ling is usually extremely absurd, as long as he is alive, his relatives and eunuchs will not dare to really shake the sky. After all, the real sky on top is still sitting on the dragon chair.

But once the Emperor Ling died, the fight between the eunuchs and their relatives became unscrupulous. The relatives felt superior to others because they had relatives with the emperor, and the eunuchs relied on the favor of the nobles in the palace to not look down on others. The situation, without the emperor suppressing the consequences can be imagined.

What Xun You was worried about was the upcoming dispute between eunuchs and relatives in Beijing, but what Xun You was worried about was completely different from him.

Young Emperor Liu Bian ascended the throne, General He Jin summoned Dong Zhuo to Beijing in order to completely eliminate the eunuchs, and then it was the prelude to the troubled times of the Three Kingdoms.

Xun Yu always thought that there were still a few years before Dong Zhuo entered the capital. Now that He Jin and Jian Shuo were fighting each other, it was still a question of whether Liu Bian would be able to ascend the throne smoothly, and Liu Xie, who was only six or seven years old, did not know that he would leave. what kind of road.

Empress Dowager Dong and Empress Dowager He have a bad relationship. Now that He Jin has great power, Empress Dowager He's status has risen accordingly. At this time, Liu Xie, the prince who may compete with her son for the throne, is not a thorn in his eyes.

Sighing, looking at the rain in the sky and the sound of the death knell in his ears, Xun Yu felt a little lucky in his heart. Dong Zhuo was fighting outside at this time, and he hadn't accumulated the reputation he should have in history, so no matter what He Jin would not have anything to do with him.

Without Dong Zhuo, Cao Cao would not have left Luoyang so early. There is still room for Yuan Shao, and there is still a chance that Luoyang City will not be as ruined as it was in history.

The bones are exposed in the wild, and there is no rooster in a thousand miles.

This is not just a joke.

Xun You stood beside Xun Yu and sighed for a long time, until the people next to him began to observe the state mourning, he sighed and went back together with Xun Yu.

Kneeling on the mat, Xun Yu poured himself a glass of water to stabilize his mind. Yes, he should have noticed it when Emperor Ling appointed Dong Zhuo as Bingzhou Shepherd. At that time, there were already signs of a change in the sky. .

The light in his eyes darkened, and Xun Yu suddenly felt that his previous sliver of happiness was silly.

Not long ago, Emperor Ling "abolished history and established animal husbandry" appointed three state shepherds, Yizhou Mu Liu Yan, Yuzhou Mu Huang Wan, and Youzhou Mu Liu Yu. If nothing unexpected happened, Dong Zhuo would become the fourth state shepherd in the near future.

The fourth state shepherd in the world should not have been sent out at this time, but before his death, Emperor Ling appointed Dong Zhuo as the shepherd of Bingzhou. If it wasn't for the fact that it was Emperor Ling who gave the order, Xun Yu would almost think that he was going to Beijing for Dong Zhuo manufacturing conditions.

"Now the sage is dead in his prime, the prince is young and ignorant, the situation in the court is critical, and you are afraid that Xiao Qiang will cause chaos in the capital."

Sitting down opposite to Xun Yu, Xun You frowned and said worriedly, "Earlier the emperor wanted to abolish the elders and raise the younger ones, but now the prince argues that there is a general standing behind him, the palace may not be stable."

Of course there would be no peace in the palace. Before Lingdi died, he specially asked Jian Shuo to take care of Liu Xie, clearly expressing his preference for his younger son. How could He Jin, who is now in the upper hand, be willing to do so?

The prince's nephew and the emperor's nephew, any fool knows which is better.

He Jin made a good plan, Jian Shuo entrusted by Emperor Ling would not let him succeed easily, eunuchs and relatives are incompatible, one must step down.

After a few words absent-mindedly, Xun You and the two analyzed the current situation in the court, and seeing that Xun Yu's mind was really not on it, he didn't say much, but just closed the topic and asked in a deep voice, "Uncle, will you come back to Ying?" Sichuan?"

Now Luoyang is really not a good place. Although he is a junior, he is five years older than his uncle, so he can handle it if something happens.

Therefore, Xun You's current plan is to discuss with Xun Yu, and set off directly to Yingchuan in a few days. Of course, only Xun Yu will go back.

Luoyang is the capital, all officials never leave the capital, he can't leave easily.

"No hurry, just wait." Sipping the cold tea, Xun Yu shook his head and said that it was not time to go back yet.

For some reason, he always felt that there was another reason for Lingdi's death so early, but he didn't know who was behind it.

Ten servants with growing ambitions?

He Jin, who was anxious to make his nephew enthroned?

It seems that the people around Lingdi are all possible, but now Xun Yu is not sure whether it is really someone who is playing tricks or it is an illusion caused by Lingdi's early death.

Seeing that Xun Yu's face was not very good, Xun You persuaded him a few words without saying a word, and left in a hurry after explaining to the maidservant, leaving Xun Yu alone in the mansion.

It was a busy time when the new and old emperors were handing over, and it was not easy for him to find time to go home.

Before the first seven days of the Ling Emperor, as Xun Yu expected, He Jin and Jian Shuo fought. After all, without the support of the emperor, He Jin's method was better. Before Jian Shuo was about to make Liu Xie enthroned He was killed first by He Jin.

However, at this time, Empress Dowager He was favoring Shi Changshi. Although Jian Shuo died, Shi Changshi still had great power in the palace.

The power of eunuchs is not formed overnight, as long as the nobles in the palace believe in them, this power will not be separated from them.

Afterwards, nothing unexpected happened, and Xun Yu only thought that the previous feeling was caused by him being too nervous, and because of the many affairs these days, he quickly put his previous doubts behind him.

Xun You and Yuan Shao are relatively close now, and they are so busy that they don't touch the ground every day. Even if they live under the same roof these days, the uncle and nephew rarely have the opportunity to meet.

Flipping through the books in the study, Xun Yu pondered for a long time and felt that it was time to leave.

He Jin and Yuan Shao worked together to kill the ten servants, but the Empress Dowager He couldn't hold back the call, so He Jin, who couldn't calm down, immediately called out to find foreign aid.

According to what Yuan Benchu ​​said, this time He Jin only sent people to Ding Yuan, the governor of Bingzhou. Although Dong Zhuo was the shepherd of Bingzhou, he had not yet been able to conscript Ding Yuan's soldiers.

Ding Yuan has worked as the governor for so many years. Although Dong Zhuo is called Zhoumu, Ding Yuan has more prestige in the state and county. If the real power is taken away by the airborne immediate superior, he will not be able to be the governor for so many years. up.

They had almost packed their things, and took away all the ancient books that they didn't have at home. As for the money, it was enough for them to return to Yingchuan.

These years of low-key behavior has not been well-known in the court. Xun Yu thought that it would not be a big deal to leave Luoyang and return to Yingchuan. However, at this moment, Xun You brought him another news that was no different from thunder.

He Jin is dead!

Clenching his fists involuntarily, Xun Yu frowned fiercely. Yesterday Gong Dashang said that Yuan Benchu ​​wanted to propose to He Jin to kill the Ten Permanent Attendants, why did he die today?

When He Jin did not disclose the meaning of killing the ten permanent servants to the Queen Mother, with the style of Zhang Rang and others, they would definitely not take the initiative to make things difficult for He Jin. They depended on the nobles in the palace to live, and they were nothing without support. .

Now Empress Dowager He is rightly favoring them, if He Jin doesn't target them, they can continue to be successful just by whispering in Empress Dowager He's ear, how could he kill He Jin first?
