The news that Emperor Ling of Han died in Chang'an reached Luoyang. It took three days to arrive at the fast horse. When the news came back there, it was another three or five days. After such a long time, the emperor's dragon body had already become stinky and rotten in summer.

Fortunately, there were still a group of old ministers serving the emperor in Chang'an City, namely the Taiwei Fan Ling, the Great Honglu Han Fu, the Jinwu Cui Yi, the Taifu Xun Shuang and others. After some discussion, they immediately closed the palace gate and suppressed the emperor's body with ice cubes hidden deep in the cellar of the Chang'an Palace, waiting for the new emperor to issue an order.

As soon as the palace gate fell, Cui Yi, who was holding the soldiers in his hand, immediately ordered the soldiers to surround the palace to prevent people with ulterior motives from breaking into the palace with ill intentions. The defense of the Chang'an city gate was guarded by the uncle Huangfu Gui, the uncle Huangfu Song of the Sili School and the Wei Wei Huangfu Song, and the subordinate Huangfu Li, and was not interfered or commanded by outsiders.

Although Dong Zhuo's General's Mansion in Zhenxi was located in Qi County, the army was active in Liangzhou. Several military leaders from the eastern capital Luoyang stared at him and took his ten courage to attack Chang'an. The key is that there is no need. The crown prince was protected by a army of 200,000 in the eastern capital. Whoever attacked Chang'an now was seeking death.

Only a big city and a few princes came to capture Chang'an, and the crown prince would still ascend the throne in Dongdu. When the new emperor took office and shouted for someone to avenge the previous emperor, he would immediately receive a response from the princes of the world. The tiger in Bingzhou, if he attacked Dong Zhuo under the banner of serving the king, would definitely be enough for him to have a good drink.

Since it is unwise to steal the prince openly, everyone will have the idea of ​​stealing the prince in secret. The so-called "snakes have snake roads, rats have rat roads." Although Chang'an City is strong and tall, it can still penetrate. Dong Zhuo sent Zhang Xiu to Chang'an in person. The mission was to rob at least one prince to Qi County after the emperor passed away. As for the subsequent matters, Dong Zhuo had his own arrangements. He was entrusted by the main company Ma Fang Station, and Zhang Ren sent two powerful generals Meng Da and Zhang Yi to Chang'an in person, and the mission was to rob a prince to Shuzhong.

If Zhao Xing knew that Dong Zhuo was willing to send Zhang Xiu, Zhang Ren also sent Meng Da and Zhang Yi in one go, maybe he would have arranged for Zhao Yun and Dian Wei to go to Chang'an in person. It would be really not easy for Hou Cheng and Hua Weiguo to compete with Zhang Xiu, Meng Da and Zhang Yi and others.

The three sons born to Emperor Ling of Han in Chang'an, the oldest was seven years old and the youngest was three years old. They were locked in the palace and were not allowed to move around. They were waiting for their elder brother Liu Bian to ascend the throne to make specific arrangements.

Without the protection of the emperor, more than a dozen eunuchs, including Zhang Rang and Zhao Zhong, who were eunuchs, have become hiding and dare not see anyone. The scholars and relatives hate them, so they naturally know this. When the Yellow Turban Rebellion rebelled in Luoyang, if they hadn't followed the emperor and had the power, the general He Jin, who had not been able to run fast with the emperor, would have planned to use the eunuchs to conspire to attack Beigong by Xu Feng and the Yellow Turban Rebellion to capture them all and kill them all.

Now that the protective umbrella of Emperor Ling is gone, their fate will not be much better in the future. Dongdu is now a relative of the foreign country, with scholars and soldiers controlling the government. The eunuchs were completely suppressed and revealed their prototypes. However, the slaves and dog legs around the prince were still stared at by the imperial guards at all times. Once they discovered the people and things that deceived the prince, they would immediately drag them out and kill them. At this point, He Jin, Lu Zhi, Yuan Wei and others who hated the eunuchs were surprisingly consistent, that is, they would never let the emperor be surrounded by eunuchs.

Zhang Rang, Zhao Zhong and others were worried about their own way out, and the matter was immediately quietly passed on to all forces by the eunuchs who were also looking for a way out. The one who informed Hou Cheng was naturally Zhao Xing's old friendship, and the one who reported to Zhang Xiu was a confidant under Zhao Zhong, and the one who contacted Meng Da was simply Guo Sheng, one of the ten regular attendants.

After everyone had their own calculations, they felt that the abducting of the young prince Liu Tian was the best and the easiest to start. Because Liu Tian was young and was very fooled, he might get stuck by the mouth if he gave him some food and played with it. And he was the happiest to get the lord back. Of course, if he could bring another fourth prince Liu Zhi back, it would be even more icing on the cake. Anyway, the third prince Liu Rong, who was already seven years old, was naturally ranked last by everyone.

Time was tight, and the night when several forces received the news, they sent out capable personnel to the vicinity of the palace, preparing to wait for internal responses to steal the prince out of Chang'an City.

The eunuch Zhang Rang didn't know what was wrong today. His old face was covered with tears, and he grabbed his eunuch Sanshun, talking about the past when Emperor Ling was alive, making Sanshun anxious when he was worried.

The ten eunuchs Guo Sheng and the people sent by the Sima family in Shu have long been secretly engaging in music styles, and they have been flirting with each other for a long time. Guo Sheng is not as popular as Zhang Rang, Zhao Zhong and others, but his mind is no less than others. Naturally, he can see that continuing to stay in Chang'an is a dead end, so he worked very hard to help Meng Da, Zhang Yi and others design the abductor.

In the evening, Guo Sheng took advantage of the opportunity to deliver food to several princes and, following Meng Da’s instructions, he quietly put a few packets of sweat medicine into the meal. He directly numbed all the three princes and put them on the bed early to pretend to be asleep.

At the third update, Guo Sheng took Meng Da and Zhang Yi who had sneaked into the palace and directly took away the fourth and fifth princes. Originally, Guo Sheng wanted to take the eldest prince away, but he had no strength to give up and followed Meng Da and Zhang Yi out of the dog cave.

It was a coincidence that Zhang Xiu and a little eunuch under Zhao Zhong also made an appointment to come to rob people at this time. While waiting under the outer wall of the palace, they found that three people suddenly came out, holding two children in their arms, but they were not the little eunuch he had made an appointment with. So Zhang Xiu was shocked and immediately blocked the way between Meng Da and Zhang Yi.

But Sanshun endured his patience. After hearing Zhang Rang's nagging until the third update, the old eunuch finally fell asleep. Sanshun quickly went to the place where several princes lived, but found a figure in front of him. Sanshun touched it quietly and carefully identified that it was the little eunuch under Zhao Zhong.

At this critical moment, Sanshun didn't care much about it. He directly touched a stone in the corner of the wall and came to the little eunuch who was bent down to peek into the prince's room. He hit the back of the man's head with a stone, and then knocked the eunuch unconscious.

Sanshun touched into the fifth prince's house first, but found that the person was gone, so he quickly came to find the fourth prince again, but there was still no one. He was frightened. Sanshun knew that someone had taken the lead in his heart, so he had to come to find the third prince with the last hope, but found that it was still there, so he made up his mind and gritted his teeth and carried Liu Rong on his back, and moved around another dog hole that had been agreed in advance in the night.

Meng Da and Zhang Yi were blocked by Zhang Xiu. It was naturally impossible for Zhang Xiu to escape with his two children. It was still impossible for Zhang Xiu to escape with his two children. Four people on both sides looked at Mung Beans, and they looked at me and I looked at you. In the end, Zhang Yi was active and threw the fourth prince Liu Qi to the ground, turned around and took Meng Da and Guo Sheng and left. As a result, Zhang Xiu did not intercept him anymore.

When Zhang Xiu saw that the few people knew each other, he was not polite. He picked up Liu Xi from the ground and hurriedly left the palace wall. He didn't wait for the little eunuch.

Hou Cheng and Hua Weiguo were waiting outside the palace when they were almost three o'clock. Half an hour passed, there was no movement. They were really anxious. When they were about to sneak into the palace to find out, they found that Sanshun came out of the dog cave, so they quickly stepped forward to help, drag Sanshun and Liu Rong out, and did not care about their words, and quickly fled to the distance while the night was shining.
