Chapter 111: The Prince Who Disappeared Forever
"Since you have this power, why don't you serve the country and repay the emperor's grace?" Jia Xu thought silently in his heart.
"Since you have this power, why don't you serve the country and repay the emperor's grace?" Zhang Rang said.
Jia Xu laughed, and laughed happily.
Zhang Rang and the Ten Eunuchs were, after all, just small pawns, too easy to speculate and figure out.
From today onwards, there will be only one voice in the Han Dynasty, and that is Guo Hao's voice.
"Eunuch Zhang, please feel free to speak freely!" Jia Xu smiled cheerfully, "Just treat it as your last words!"
"Sir, the person behind me is the prince of Han Dynasty, the future emperor!" Zhang Rang realized that something was wrong. The person on the other side seemed to be confirming the identity of the person in the carriage.
"E Lai, kill them and don't leave any trace." Jia Xu said coldly.
Dian Wei scratched his head. The person opposite him is a prince. He wondered if he would cause trouble for his lord.
Forget it, I don’t want to think about it anymore. My lord told me to listen to the military advisor, so I will listen to the military advisor.
Dian Wei did not dodge or evade at all in the face of the desperate attacks from Zhang Rang and others. Zhang Rang and others were not strong enough to hurt him.
Dian Wei lowered his center of gravity slightly , and his muscles suddenly bulged. His muscles trembled like a dragon, and he instantly became twice as strong.
"boom"
Dian Wei's full-strength blow turned the carriage into powder, and the powerful energy from his heavy punch turned Zhang Rang and others into a bloody mist.
"vomit"
Jia Xu felt a little uncomfortable. Dian Wei's move did leave no trace, but it was too disgusting.
Jia Xu waved his hand with a gloomy face and blew a breeze to disperse the blood mist. Looking at Dian Wei who seemed to be fine, he wanted to say something, but it turned into a silent sigh.
"Let's go and see the lord!"
"oh"
Dian Wei responded in a muffled voice, then put Jia Xu on his shoulder and walked towards the palace.
Jia Xu missed Wang Yue infinitely, who could take him to heaven and earth. Dian Wei was obedient enough, but that was all he was left with.
When Jia Xu saw Guo Hao, Guo Hao was directing a group of eunuchs to clean the palace. As for the Yulin Guards, they had been sent out early to patrol various places in the palace.
There's no guarantee that remnants of thugs may be lurking somewhere, so it's better to catch them all as soon as possible.
"Congratulations, my lord." Jia Xu bowed slightly and congratulated Guo Hao .
Congratulations? Congratulations on what?
Guo Hao's guess came true, and his heart sank to the bottom.
“…”
Guo Hao was a little depressed. Before his death, Liu Hong entrusted him to assist Liu Xie. But now, let alone Liu Xie, even Liu Bian might not be left with ashes.
It is not surprising that Li Ru dared to poison the young emperor and Jia Xu murdered two princes.
"Alas, he's already dead, there's nothing more to say."
Guo Hao adjusted his mentality and began to hold a court meeting.
Yuan Huai, Yang Biao, Lu Zhi and other important officials in Chang'an had already learned everything before they went to the palace. When they learned what happened last night, their faces changed drastically.
High-ranking officials like Shi Bian and Gongsun Zan also changed their color slightly. Someone was actually trying to murder the emperor. They were afraid that things were going to change in Luoyang.
Liu Yu and other relatives of the Han royal family had distorted expressions. This blatant challenge to the Liu Dynasty completely angered them . They knew that the royal family was the source of their current status, and they would never allow anyone to shake the dignity of the Han Dynasty.
Guo Hao opened the court meeting and asked Qian Shuo to recount what happened yesterday.
"Traitor, traitor!" Royalists like Dong Cheng were furious.
"Where is the traitor?"
"He's dead. He died in a palace!" Guo Hao asked the eunuchs to carry He Jin's body to the main hall.
Immediately, some ministers wanted to pounce on him and eat his flesh alive, and Guo Hao couldn't tell who was sincere and who was fake.
He waved his hand to let the Yulin Guards stop the ministers, and then carried He Jin's body away.
He originally thought that it was He Jin who led Yuan Shao and others into the palace to cause chaos yesterday, but he did not expect that Yuan Shao was ambushed and stopped halfway. With Cao Cao and others as witnesses, Guo Hao could not directly question them.
After all, he hid in the hall last night and didn't dare to go out, so he really didn't know who his opponents were.
"All the rebels who entered the palace yesterday have been killed, but some of them escaped in advance and are nowhere to be found. The Imperial Guards will track them down later and all those involved will be killed." Guo Hao described the horrifying facts in the court.
This reminded some ministers of the Han Emperor's purge of Luoyang during the Yellow Turban Rebellion, which was equally bloody and cruel.
The players in the court wanted to report Yuan Shao, but they were not clean either, so they would die together. They could only give up and watch Guo Hao's performance quietly.
They have many brave generals and strategists under their command, which is definitely more terrifying than any other family in their peak period, and is even enough to support the framework of an empire.
But they are now in Luoyang, where the dragon has to coil and the tiger has to lie in its den.
Even if they were tied together, they were no match for the ministers who commanded a large number of troops. Any legion was enough to defeat them.
Once the human spirit was suppressed and the army formation was formed, even if they had twenty Xue Renguis, they would not be able to break out of Luoyang.
The failure of the last operation caused many players to leave the alliance, and they could no longer put together a lineup to kill Yuan Shao.
"The emperor has been in trouble, and we will have to take care of the emperor's funeral first. We also have to rely on the concerted efforts of all the ministers." Guo Hao looked at the ministers below who had different thoughts, and spoke according to the words prepared by Jia Xu in advance.
"General Huoqi, I wonder how you plan to deal with the current situation?" Yang Biao asked.
"Let's put it aside for now. Wait until all the clan members, court officials, the three dukes and nine ministers, and important officials above the rank of 2,000 stone are all here, and then we can discuss state affairs."
According to Jia Xu's meaning, Guo Hao could only use one word: delay.
All the court officials understood Guo Hao's intention. When they heard that the prince was kidnapped by the Ten Attendants, it was obvious that Guo Hao intended to find the prince first.
"In this case, we will say no more and will begin to keep vigil for the emperor." Yuan Huai bowed and saluted, bringing the court meeting to an end.
"Looking for the prince? Where to find him?" Guo Hao smiled bitterly in his heart. He had checked and saw that Dian Wei had handled it very cleanly. Apart from the dark red bloodstains on the ground, not even a complete bone could be found.
The seven days of vigil passed quickly, and seeing that the grand court meeting was about to be held again, Guo Hao became restless.
The Eight Schools of Xiyuan and the Yulin Guards turned Luoyang upside down but to no avail. Guo Hao knew what was going on and asked Jia Xu beside him with some helplessness.
"Wenhe, what should we do next?"
Jia Xu glanced at Guo Hao and asked, "Have you decided on a posthumous title for the late emperor?"
Guo Hao sighed, feeling somewhat helpless. He actually wanted to give Liu Hong a good posthumous title, but this group of historians were like mad dogs and insisted on giving Liu Hong a bad posthumous title.
Even if he used his power to threaten them, it would be of no avail. These guys who adhered to the spirit of Sima Qian were too stubborn.
"Emperor Ling of Han!"
"To say that something is in chaos but not damaged is called spiritual is quite appropriate." Jia Xu nodded in agreement.
