Zhang Miao often came alone to see the emperor. In the past, the little emperor always met him in private happily, because in the mind of the little emperor, this minister who shared his hardships with him was a trustworthy person.

However, Zhang Miao's request for a meeting today made the little emperor hesitate. To be honest, the little emperor may not believe all the words of Wang Yun and the Empress Dowager. Although Zhang Chao's actions disappointed the little emperor, there seems to be a story here. If Zhang Miao mentioned the conflict between Zhang Chao and Pang Yuan before, especially the conflict between Lu Bu and him that Zhang Miao clearly implied, it would not be completely incomprehensible to Zhang Chao's final choice.

Of course, no matter how understanding is, the little emperor was undoubtedly quite angry at the betrayal of Zhang Chao, and he also took Zhang Miao out of his anger. He still cooperated to alienate his relationship with Zhang Miao, but the people's hearts are extremely complicated, even for such a half-aged child.

Deep in the heart of the little emperor, he actually longed for the ministers to be loyal to their fire and water for themselves. He also cherished these ministers who were loyal to them and always held great hope for these ministers.

His feelings for Zhang Miao were the same. In the bottom of his heart, the little emperor still defended Zhang Miao. What Zhang Chao did had nothing to do with Zhang Miao, and Zhang Miao was still loyal to himself. This means that the little emperor has not really grasped power. Once he truly took power, he would not think so. No one is truly loyal to anyone, everyone is finally alone.

The so-called loyalty is a very complicated thing. Of course, the premise is that you have the capital to make people loyal. Fang Zhiwen told the little emperor at the beginning. The little emperor now has no capital to make people loyal. Now the ministers under him are just loyal to the name behind him. This foundation is quite illusory.

The little emperor didn't understand these things, and he was still very simple, so he believed that Zhang Miao had feelings for him. So, when Zhang Miao asked for a meeting again and again, although the little emperor knew that Zhang Miao came to him to ask for love, he finally agreed to Zhang Miao's request for an audience.

The little emperor did not like to live in a big palace, so the emperor's residence was not big. Although there were many rooms, each of them was not large in size, but seemed very compact. It was a bit cool in early spring. There were only a few small ventilation windows in the palace, and the curtains around it were pulled up. The little emperor liked to be bright.

Zhang Miao knelt down at the steps. After looking at the little emperor for a while, the little emperor couldn't help but ask, "Meng Zhuo, what's wrong with you here?"

When Zhang Miao heard the emperor's name as his name, he was also in a trance, which shows that the young emperor still has feelings for him, but what he wants to do.

"Your Majesty. I am afraid! I have been in panic all day long. The ministers' attacks and ministers do not care. Your Majesty Wo will be suspicious of me."

"Meng Zhuo, I naturally believe in you. Zhang Chao is Zhang Chao, you are you. I have no doubts about you, but the ministers all said that Meng Zhuo should avoid suspicion, so after thinking about it carefully, I also felt that this should be the case. Meng Zhuo will be relaxed for a while. When the situation calms down, I will still use Meng Zhuo."

"Thank you for your magnanimity and understanding, but Your Majesty, this matter is not so simple. Zhongxian was forced to take this step because of the oppression of Lu Bu and Pang Yuan. I believe your Majesty is also clear about the holidays between me and Lu Bu. Now my brother is unworthy, and the ministers around me are even more insulting. The court is arrogant and arrogant, and I am worried."

"What are you worried about?"

"I am worried that the ministers in the court will see Lu Bu and Wang Yun's son-in-law joining together and are rampant in the court. Now I am unfortunate and no one can control me. I may all turn to Wang Lu and others. I heard that Wang Situ is full of distinguished guests every day and there are crowds of people in the market. This is not your Majesty's blessing!"

The little emperor's face changed, his expression was a little complicated, but then he shook his head gently. If even Zhang Miao could continue to trust, how could the little emperor distrust Lu Bu and Wang Yun? In fact, this principle is very simple. Zhang Miao is just struggling in the final effort now. He needs to give himself a reason to take action, and this reason is that the little emperor abandoned him, not that he betrayed the emperor.

"Meng Zhuo was worried too much. Wang Situ was devoted to serving as the minister. I believed him. General Lu was even more loyal and righteous. He kept his promise with me without moving. I believed them, and Meng Zhuo didn't have to worry. As for the ministers in the court in this crisis, unity was also a good thing. If the other places were not clear, they would be self-disturbing before they were clear. The wise would not do it! Meng Zhuo didn't have to say much. Meng Zhuo should wait for some time. I have my own arrangements."

"Thank you, Your Majesty." Zhang Miao sighed, and the last little hope in his heart was completely extinguished. Between Wang Yun, Lu Bu and himself, the little emperor still chose the former. This is true. In fact, the most useful thing for the little emperor is Lu Bu and Wang Yun? So, human instincts are still utilitarian.

Zhang Miao secretly mocked his weakness in his heart, and at the same time made up his final decision.

"Your Majesty is deeply honored to be my love, but you still remember this."

Zhang Miao took out a wooden sword from his arms. The little emperor's eyes lit up, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth. When the sword was fleeing in the Taihang Mountains, the guards around him made toys for the emperor. Later, the emperor gave this reward to Zhang Miao as a reward for him who never left him.

"Remember, I will present this to me and see the object I have given to Meng Zhuo."

Zhang Miao smiled slightly, and before the inner officials came forward, he had already stood up and walked towards the steps. The juvenile door was stunned for a moment, a little at a loss. Without waiting for the people around him to react, Zhang Miao had already stepped onto the steps and bowed and handed the wooden sword to the emperor with both hands.

The little emperor smiled and reached out to take it, recalling with emotion: "I remember Meng Zhuo, what are you going to do!?"

Before the emperor could finish his words, Zhang Miao suddenly stepped around the side of the desk and pulled the emperor into his arms with his hand. At the same time, a sharp short knife appeared on his hand, crossing the emperor's neck.

"Haha, what are you doing? Of course, I asked the emperor to move!"

"Move, move? Where to go?"

"Your Majesty knows it at that time! Let everyone's guards retreat, your Majesty, otherwise I will be afraid and I don't know what I will do!"

"Meng Zhuo, no, Zhang Miao, you are treason, treason! You are going to kill the nine clans!"

"Is that right? But I don't think so. Your Majesty is blinded by a villain and has lost his wisdom. Wang Yun in the court blocks His Majesty's eyes and ears, and Lu Bu is rampant and cruel to loyalty and kindness. My brothers are so loyal that they are forced to take the blame. This is because they can't survive. Your Majesty! Your Majesty, wake up! Open your eyes and see, there are ghosts and monsters in this panic court!"

"Uh. Zhang Miao, please let me go first! Let me go!"

Zhang Miao looked at the pretending calm little emperor and sneered: "Your Majesty, don't move around. I am very nervous and excited. You may hurt Your Majesty if you are not careful. You can withdraw quickly and let the people outside make way. I want to leave the city with Your Majesty!"

"Ah! There is an assassin! There is an assassin! Zhang Miao rebelled and protected him!" A chaotic door shouted in horror and rushed outside.

This shout immediately woke everyone up. The palace maids and eunuchs all retreated in scattered, fearing that they would get in the way. The guards not only refused to retreat, but instead rushed in and surrounded Zhang Miao's emperor. Zhang Miao smiled bitterly. It seemed that they could only wait for someone who could keep their word to appear. These guys were all stubborn.

"Your Majesty, let them withdraw!" Zhang Miao's hands were trembling with chest, and the cold blade hit the emperor's skin. The young emperor who had pretended to be calm just now was so scared that he wanted to urinate.

"Retreat, retreat, exit, all!"

"That's right! Let them make way. If you see a crossbowman, don't blame me for being polite!"

"No, no, no! The guards in the palace were commanded by General Cao, and I can't command them either." The little emperor finally found an excuse.

"Look, I say that Your Majesty was blinded by villains. Even the guards in the palace didn't listen to Your Majesty. They only knew that there was Lu Bu. Isn't this Lu Bu holding the emperor hostage?"

Most of the guards retreated, but they still blocked the main and side doors, but they did not set up crossbows. Obviously, they were waiting for the commander to arrive, and they did not want to stimulate Zhang Miao too much. From this we can see that these guards are not simple.

Seeing this, Zhang Miao was indeed the same as Zheng Li analyzed to him. Only when Wang Yun and Cao Xing arrived could he make a request and threaten the emperor to leave the city. Then Zheng Li would spread rumors in the city. Cao Cao's people took the opportunity to launch and create chaos, and he would take this opportunity to escape.

"You, go and notify Cao Xing and Wang Yun quickly, and say that Your Majesty and I are going to leave the city and ask them to make arrangements quickly. If there is any delay, don't blame me for being burned!"

"Okay, wait a moment, let's notify us now, don't worry, we won't be arbitrarily proactive in launching an attack."

"Hmph, you don't dare to do it!"

Zhang Miao knelt behind the emperor carelessly and glanced at the situation in the palace. Several palace maids and the jujube gate had been summoned by the guards to leave the side door. There was no one within twenty or thirty steps away from him. Zhang Miao breathed a sigh of relief, but felt more nervous and worried in his heart.

Thinking about it now, Zhang Miao was a little funny. He was so brave that Wang Yun and Cao Xing were probably so scared that they didn't know what to do. Thinking of these opponents' panic, Zhang Miao felt very happy, as if he had forgotten that he was standing on the edge of the cliff at this moment, and accidentally ended up smashing to pieces.

Cao Xing and Wang Yun were indeed shocked when they received the news. Then, Cao Xing immediately issued a ban order and then confine the palace gate. He and Wang Yun immediately went to the emperor's bedroom to see what this bold Zhang Miao wanted to do!

When the guards at the door moved aside and Wang Yun and Cao Xing appeared in sight, the little emperor seemed to have seen a savior, and his tears were so pitiful, but Zhang Miao showed a sarcastic smile.

"Zhang Miao, do you know what you are doing? Let go of Your Majesty!" Cao Xing shouted!
