Chapter 128 The Hundred Years' Game (May 50)
"Then say everything you should say but didn't say it. ()"
"Now!" Cai Yong bowed and bowed: "Your Majesty, Luoyang is a situation. From the beginning of Emperor Guangwu's capital, it is a big situation. It is a conspiracy used by the Confucian clan to deal with the royal family and limit the royal family."
"The Han Dynasty is fire virtue, which was originally just a story of village husbands and women after dinner, but was later compiled into prophecy and divination by Liu Xin as an excuse for Wang Mang to usurp the Han Dynasty. The Liu family in Nanyang raised an army. Although it was a royal family of the Han family, its branches were far away. By the time his great-grandfather lost the marquis, it was no different from a common man. Guangwu started from Tianlong and was not a powerful man. At first, his brother Liu Yan was killed by Gengshi's monarch and ministers. The Liu family was internally strife and the name of the royal family declined again and again, which was not enough to command the world. Guangwu had to take the prophecy and divination created by Liu Xin to show that the destiny of heaven is in his own way. Han was fire virtue, which came from this."
"Xijing was destroyed, Emperor Guangwu established the capital of Luoyang. The world was not yet determined, Shandong was not yet pacified, and Luo was changed to Luo, and the Zhuqueque, which represents fire virtue, was the highest, all to express his desire to transform. Who knows that the real purpose of these measures was to enhance the aura of Luoyang, use the imperial power to cultivate the power of the phoenix, and suppress the awakening of the dragon bloodline of the royal family."
"Although Emperor Guangwu is blinded by others and does not know the truth, he is also a great man of his generation. He knows that prophecies can be used by others or by others. Therefore, he checked the prophecies and forbidden to recreate them. He also abolished Empress Guo and established Empress Yin, supported the power of Nanyang and Shanxi to compete with Shandong."
"The people of Shandong were betrayed by the royal family and refused to give up. Emperor Ming ascended the throne, and the people of Shandong encouraged King Ying of Chu to rebel, hoping to shake Shanxi and take power alone. Emperor Ming pardoned King Ying of Chu, but he pursued the people of Shandong. He has been puzzled over the years. However, the people of Shandong have deep foundation in the court, and it is difficult to shake in their urgent needs, which makes the world uneasy. After several years of stalemate, Emperor Ming had to reconcile with the people of Shandong, and the Yuan family of Runan arose."
"Yuan An was able to get support from Shandong people because he got a phoenix egg."
"The Yuan family was supported by the Confucian clan and worked hard for more than a hundred years. It has four generations and three masters, and its disciples and former officials are everywhere. Whether it is foreign relatives in power or eunuchs in power, it cannot shake the Yuan family's power. Yuan Cheng is affiliated with the general Liang Ji. Yuan Wei led Yuan Huan as his lord, but only one or two of them. If no one in the Yuan family had understood his destiny and could not hatch the phoenix eggs in all dynasties, Yuan would have soared to the sky long ago."
"Yuan Shao inherited Yuan Cheng as a concubine's son because Yuan Shao had the will of a phoenix. He could hatch phoenix eggs and lead the Confucian school."
"He Jin died, Luoyang was in flames, Yuan Shu burned Zhuque Que. Yuan Shao sensed the pulsation of the phoenix egg. The phoenix bird was about to descend, and the saint appeared again."
"After more than ten years of wandering around, I returned to Luoyang, because Your Majesty shocked Dong Zhuo, who was supposed to kill the lord, by the Yellow River, and used methods to stabilize Luoyang, which was a sign of the awakening of the dragon vein. Therefore, I was ordered to return to the capital and observe Your Majesty nearby. If necessary... mislead Your Majesty and follow the old trick of misleading the late emperor."
"The statues of Lao Tzu and Hu monk in the secret room are actually in the form of Confucius Fengyi, and are one of the plans of Confucian scholars to lead the previous emperor astray."
"The room in the secret room | the Chinese art map was painted by students from Hongdumen, and almost all the talents in Hongdumen are from Confucianism."
"This dragon egg should have been in the hands of King Chenliu. The beauty of Queen Chenliu's mother was originally a chess piece arranged by Shandong to enter the palace."
"The reason why Emperor Huan and Emperor Ling were able to become the leader of the throne was the result of the Shandong people's promotion. However, Emperor Huan and Emperor Ling betrayed the Shandong people one after another, and promoted the party and impeachment, causing heavy losses to the Shandong people. The Shandong people were desperate about the royal family, so they supported the Yuan family to change the dynasty and reform, and fulfilled the mission of the Confucian clan's mission of Wang Mang taking responsibility, but Wang Mang failed to achieve his full success."
"The rebellion of Yuan is not the wish of Yuan's family, but the result of the hundreds of years of operation of the Confucian clan. Therefore, the Yuan clan called for the rise and the rebellion of Shandong."
After listening to Cai Yong's story, Liu Bian's scalp became numb and the hairs on the back of his neck stood up.
It was indeed a big situation, a century-old overall situation with the entire Luoyang City as the situation. In this carefully designed overall situation, no matter how hard the royal family tried, they could not break through the limitations of this situation. The Zhuqueque, which represents the power of the phoenix, stood in the center of the imperial city, absorbing the power of the royal family. The previous emperors had no idea that all their efforts and hard work were watering their gravediggers.
Could it be that the problem of relatives from the Eastern Han Dynasty was always serious and was a major threat to the royal family for a long time? In the palace, compared to the emperor, the queen was a phoenix. They, together with the phoenix ministers, firmly tied up the imperial power, one inside and one outside.
Although Liu Bian was mentally prepared, he was still very palpitations. After a while, he returned to his calmness and asked, "Who did this big move that made the wise lord like Emperor Guangwu enter this situation himself?"
Cai Yong shook his head and looked admiring: "I am also very curious, but this person is very skillful. I checked all the files in the palace, but I did not find who this person was."
Liu Bian was a little disappointed, but he did not ask this question. He immediately asked the most critical question: "Since Luoyang City is a bureau, then the "Twelve Forms of Huangdi" must have been tampered with by the people who set up the bureau. Where is the real guide map of the dragon and phoenix?"
"I have been missing for a long time, and my whereabouts are unknown." Cai Yong's face turned pale, his forehead was covered with fine beads of sweat, but there was an indescribable ease in his expression: "I have read the pictures in the palace and visited them for more than ten years, but I have not found any traces of the dragon and phoenix guide map. However, I boldly guessed that Yuan's hand should have a phoenix-shaped guide map. Otherwise, he would not be able to hatch even if he had phoenix eggs."
Liu Bian pondered for a long time and said, "Do you have anything else to say?"
"Yes." Cai Yong replied: "Although I have not found the dragon-shaped guide map, I have found ancient music that can help understand the dragon-type fate."
“What is it?”
"It is Guangling San, the lower half of Guangling San." Cai Yong smiled bitterly: "The so-called Guangling San should have been called high mountains and flowing water. The upper half of the mountain is high mountains and the lower half is flowing water. The mountains stop, and the flowing water is qi, complementing each other and indispensable. If there is only high mountains and no flowing water, it will only suffocate and qi and suppress the fate."
"Good intentions." Liu Bian remembered his feelings when he listened to the song, and woke up like a dream. He stared at Cai Yong and said gritting his teeth, "You great scholar, really killed people invisibly."
Cai Yong sighed: "I am just a chess piece, and life and death are in the hands of others, and I cannot be independent. Without me, there will be others. Your Majesty, I have already said that I have a serious sin and dare not ask Your Majesty for forgiveness. It is just that my little girl is innocent. I beg Your Majesty to leave her a way out."
"You are indeed very sinful and will never be redeemed if you die. However, it is not the time to kill you. I will give you a task and give you a chance to atone for your sins." Liu Bian stood up and walked to Cai Yong: "If you find a way to restore the original appearance of ancient books as much as possible, start with the ancient books collected in the palace. If the task is not completed, you will not die. Without my edict, you will not leave Luoyang, and you will not be allowed to disclose today's conversation to anyone, including A Yan. Otherwise, I will have the entire Chenliu Cai family buried with you."
"No!" Cai Yong felt relieved and bowed to accept the order.
Wei Guan hurried over and presented a military newspaper with both hands: "Your Majesty, the Empress Dowager Pass is in urgent need."
...
At the Pass, arrows flew everywhere, and the sound of killing was like a tide.
Dian Wei roared with two iron halberds in his hand, stepped onto a siege ladder and climbed up quickly.
"Shoot!" Wu Xuan roared repeatedly, pointed at Dian Wei, and ordered loudly: "Surprise crossbow, shoot me in a concentrated manner."
The archers on the city wall ignored the danger and poked out the city wall and shot Dian Wei with the crossbow in his hand. The dense arrow feathers shot at Dian Wei like raindrops, and soon shot Dian Wei into a hedgehog. However, Dian Wei was not afraid. While climbing, he swept across the iron halberd in his hand, sweeping the arrow embedded in the heavy armor.
He was like a black bear with thick scalp and thick flesh, moving forward in the rain of arrows all over the sky.
This was his third charge today. Under the heavy armor, blood was flowing. The giant arrow shot from the city guard crossbow shot through his heavy armor twice, one on his thighs and one on his shoulder. Although he failed to kill him, his powerful force took him away from the cloud ladder and fell to the city. He simply bandaged it, changed into a set of heavy armor, and rushed up again.
He wanted to climb to the top of the city. As long as he successfully climbed the city, the Zhuyuan Pass would be broken and Cao Cao would achieve his first contribution.
Dian Wei was grateful for Cao Cao's appreciation and for the Bear-shaped guidance map given by Cao Cao for his great improvement in his skills. He wanted to repay Cao Cao with his military achievements and snatch Guan Yu and Sun Jian to break through the Suyuan Pass. It is precisely because of this that he has such physical strength and is seriously injured twice without retreating.
"Kill--" Looking at the top of the city, Dian Wei roared excitedly, like an angry black bear. He hooked the battlements with an iron halberd, and used one arm to force his whole body soared into the air and jumped over the top of the city.
A giant spear-like arrow passed by his feet, and the powerful feathers brought out a sharp roar that broke through the air.
Guo Wu was both furious. He knew the consequences of letting Dian Wei gain a foothold on the city wall. No one could survive a move on Dian Wei's iron halberd. Once he gained a foothold on the city wall, even if he was the only one, the Zhuyuan Pass would be broken.
The only one who can deal with him is the city guard crossbow, and the city guard crossbow takes time to turn and aim.
Guo Wu roared angrily, holding a spear in his hand, and rushed towards Dian Wei: "Go to die!"
Dian Wei laughed loudly. He was a kind of high opinion of such an enemy. He might not be able to fight cavalry, but in the infantry battle, he had no opponent, even Guan Yu and Sun Jian. As for the military marquis in front of him, he didn't take it seriously. He waved his iron halberd lightly, and the forty-pound iron halberd broke the spear, like slapping a straw.
However, the moment the iron halberd touched the spear, the smile on Dian Wei's face disappeared. There was no force on the spear. The weapon of this military marquis was not a spear, but his body that rushed towards him.
Guo Wu rushed out of the city wall and crashed into Dian Wei's arms. Dian Wei was in the air and had no way to focus. When Guo Wu hit him, his jumping body stopped. He watched the city wall in front of him, but the iron halberd in his hand was half a foot away.
With a loud "boom", Dian Wei fell into dust again.
Two giant arrows roared and shot Dian Wei's abdomen and face. Although Dian Wei couldn't see his eyes, his body reacted instinctively, jumped up, and avoided the two giant arrows in an instant.
"Chi!" The giant arrow shot into the soil soaked in blood, and went deeper a foot, and the remaining force had not subsided, and the buzzed.
