Chapter 84: Forced to return to the city
Zhou Yang felt that he had basically recovered. If he had not been to protect the little emperor, he would have gone to Weinan to see the situation in person.
However, seeing these two Dong Cheng's subordinates were clever, they taught them to go to Weinan and the other to Chang'an.
After the two of them took the order and left, Zhou Yang and the little emperor were alone in the mountains.
The little emperor was like a ok person, looking for birds and beasts in the mountains and forests easily and freely for entertainment.
On the contrary, Zhou Yang was anxious. Logically, Sun Jian should be able to defeat Hua Xiong, but later he was defeated by Xu Rong. However, Xu Rong has been taken over as his subordinate and developed military city defense in Luoyang.
In other words, after Hua Xiong's army was defeated, Sun Jian will fight all the way to Chang'an.
The problem lies here. Sun Jian is the descendant of a famous general, and the legitimate Marquis of Wucheng. If he had controlled the situation in Chang'an, perhaps Emperor Xian of Han would be taken back to Chang'an by Dong Cheng and others.
If Cao Cao lost this advantage of "using the emperor to command all the princes", the Sun family would most likely be the one who unifies the world in the future.
Sun Jian himself is extremely brave, and his sons Sun Ce, Sun Quan and others are all very outstanding figures.
Especially Sun Ce was able to sweep across Jiangdong by relying on more than a thousand old subordinates who had been requested to return from Yuan Shu, laying the foundation for the hegemony of the Eastern Wu, one of the three kingdoms in the future.
The speed of conquering cities and land was beyond imagination and could definitely be regarded as the youngest outstanding general in the entire Three Kingdoms era.
"Brother, what are you thinking?" The little emperor suddenly woke him up from behind when he saw him stunned.
"What?" Zhou Yang pressed his forehead with his hand. Just when he was thinking about whether he should go to Weinan to see the situation in person, he came to his senses and asked, "What did Your Majesty call me just now?"
The little emperor laughed and said, "Didn't you agree? I'll call you brother in private."
As soon as he finished speaking, a affectionate look appeared on his face and he sighed: "Xiaoyao has such a smart brother. I also want one. Mr. Ding will definitely be more powerful than Xiaoyao's brother."
Zhou Yang can actually understand his mentality. When he was a child, he had no strong brother, so when he was bullied, he could only fight with the other party by himself.
It’s okay to lose, but if you win, people will go to find their brother to help, and they will be beaten even worse.
Although the little emperor does not need to fight with others, the child's competitive mentality is very strong.
Zhou Yang smiled kindly and said, "Okay then! Only in private!"
The little emperor was so happy that he couldn't stop talking, and said, "When I see Xiaoyao's brother in the future, I want my brother to compare with him. Who is smarter?"
Zhou Yang wondered how powerful a child could be, and couldn't help asking: "Can your Majesty tell me how smart Xiaoyao's brother is?"
The little emperor looked thoughtful and said, "Brother, don't underestimate him. Xiaoyao was born in a family with a long history. He first came from Chongli, the son of Emperor Gaoyang, and was appointed as the Xia official Zhurong. He lived in Tang, Yu, Xia, Shang, and the Shishi's position."
Zhou Yang vaguely felt that Xiaoyao's brother might be an extraordinary person, so he listened patiently and carefully.
"In the Zhou Dynasty, Xia Guan was appointed as Sima, and later Cheng Baixiufu." The young emperor thought he had heard it with relish and continued, "During King Xuan of Zhou, the officials of the world defeated Xu Fang, and Xi took the official clan, so Sima was appointed as his surname."
"What?" Zhou Yang was shocked.
The little emperor was startled by his exaggerated reaction and couldn't help asking: "Brother, are you okay!"
Zhou Yang vaguely guessed who Xiaoyao’s brother was. If calculated based on age, then this smart brother is most likely Sima Yi who he had always wanted to find out and kill him in advance.
However, before the matter was confirmed, he still said calmly: "No... nothing, your Majesty, please continue."
The little emperor said again: "It was not until Zhao general Sima Ang and the princes attacked Qin, and was later named King of Yin by Xiang Yu, and the capital of Chaoge; the Emperor Gaozu regarded his place as a county, and since the descendants of the eighth generation of Ang became their family; during the reign of Emperor An, Sima Jun, the general of the Western Expedition, to the son Yuzhang Prefect Sima Liang, the prefect of Yingchuan Prefect Sima Jun; until the current Jingzhao Yin Sima Fang was Xiaoyao's father."
Zhou Yang heard a head that doubled its size. Unexpectedly, the history of the Sima family is so profound that the Cao family seems a bit insignificant compared to it.
In the end, the little emperor finally talked about Xiaoyao's brother, and it was indeed Sima Yi.
It’s really impossible to get it, and it’s easy to get it.
It turned out that it was so easy to find Sima Yi. Zhou Yang secretly hated that he had read too little history before he came to this era.
But when he thought of the Sima family as an official for generations, it would probably not be easy if he really wanted to get rid of Sima Yi.
However, after the little emperor arrived in Luoyang, he could find Xiaoyao in his name, and summon Sima Yi to him at that time, and then ask Peng Yiyuan to kill him halfway.
In this way, we can eliminate the biggest obstacle to Cao Wei's unification of the world without realizing it.
"Brother, why do your eyes become so terrible?" the little emperor showed a surprised look and looked up and asked.
Although Zhou Yang was a little cruel, he had no choice but to make the world unified as soon as possible, he had to accept all cruel reality.
In the past few days, he knew that he would push this little emperor to Cao Cao's claws sooner or later. Since this is the case, don't establish too much feelings with him, so as not to feel even more guilty in the future.
The little emperor thought Zhou Yang was concerned about escaping Chang'an, so he did not disturb him and often walked alone in the forest.
Sometimes when I was too bored, I would run back to the wooden house to look for him, but almost every time I saw him sitting under a tree, thinking about it alone.
With the cleverness of the little emperor, he gradually noticed something strange and walked over to him and said, "Did your brother start to hate me? Just like Xiaoyao's brother, he is going to take Xiaoyao away."
Zhou Yang's heart softened suddenly and he smiled and said, "If one day, Your Majesty finds that he will lose his freedom forever, will he blame me?"
The little emperor had never thought about this problem, and was stunned for a moment and said, "If that were the case, my brother would definitely run away with me on his back."
Zhou Yang stood up and walked aside, with his back facing him, not knowing what to say to him.
At this time, someone hurried over not far away. It was the subordinate of Dong Cheng who was sent to Chang'an City that day.
Zhou Yang knew that he had brought news from the city and immediately took him into the house.
"The man came to report to Mr. Ding urgently..." The man gasped, but insisted on finishing his words, "There has been a huge change in Chang'an City."
"Continue to talk." Zhou Yang guessed that Lu Bu must have attacked Dong Zhuo in advance.
"The prince of the country, Dong Hou and other royal relatives were arrested by Dong Zhuo."
"What?" The little emperor was shocked.
Zhou Yang was also dumbfounded when he heard this. He always thought that as long as Emperor Xian of Han returned to Luoyang, everything would be solved. But he forgot about Dong Zhuo's character, a reckless man from Xiliang who even dared to abolish the emperor, what could he not do?
The little emperor sighed and said in a trembling tone: "Let's... go back to Chang'an!"
go back?
In order to take him out of Chang'an, Zhou Yang almost lost his life. Can he go back obediently? Can he take the little emperor to Luoyang by tough means regardless of the lives of others?
Oh my God! How could I have such a thought?
Zhou Yang exhaled, drove away all the evil thoughts in his mind, and said, "I swear to protect the safety of Your Majesty and the father-in-law, and never let Dong Zhuo hurt the innocent."
The little emperor smiled like no see for a long time, as if his brother was back.
However, this time I return to Chang'an, I will inevitably face more severe situations.
First of all, his fake "Ding Yi" will become a suspicious identity from now on; after this alarm, the little emperor will definitely be guarded more closely. It will be difficult for him to escape from Chang'an again, unless Cao Cao and his army forcibly conquer Chang'an.
Zhou Yang suddenly felt helpless. What would he do if Cao Cao was here? Or if Su Chen, Geng Long and others helped, things would not be so pessimistic.
In the end, I had no choice but to accept the facts and took the little emperor reluctantly to go down the mountain.
In the evening, they slowly returned to the city.
The guard recognized them at first sight, immediately "protected" them and sent them to Dong Zhuo's mansion. He originally planned to separate Zhou Yang and the little emperor, but was shrunk by his cold eyes.
The two of them came to the inner hall, and Dong Zhuo sat inside safely. When he saw Emperor Xian of Han, he did not politely. He stood up lazily and smiled: "Your Majesty disappeared for no reason, which really makes the ministers worried!"
Emperor Xian of Han sneered: "Tai Shi Dong is a pillar of the court. You must not worry about these trivial matters to get sick."
Dong Zhuo's face changed, his eyes swept coldly to Zhou Yang, and he shouted sternly: "A bold slave, I didn't kneel down when I saw this Grand Master."
Zhou Yang knew that the other party was asking him to vent his anger, and was also giving the little emperor a warning. If his answer made the tyrant dissatisfied with the tyrant, he would be pulled out to chop it on the spot and no one could save it.
But how could he retreat and answered calmly: "Your Majesty stayed in General Guo's mansion for a while, but he would disappear for no reason. I just wanted to contribute some effort to the court and escorted His Majesty back to the city. If Grand Master Dong wants to blame him, it seems that he should look for General Guo."
Emperor Xian of Han was indeed taken away in the Guo Mansion. More than 20 elite cavalry were pursued, but only one of them came back in the end, and it was deliberately letting go.
A trace of murderous intent flashed in Dong Zhuo's eyes, but he was helpless at what he said. He laughed dryly and said, "Since Your Majesty is back safely, the ministers will be happy. The construction of the imperial city can also continue. Otherwise, after the palace is completed, there will be no one sitting on the dragon throne in the palace, which is not surprising?"
Zhou Yang felt in his heart that this tyrant minister not only did not take the little emperor seriously, but also vaguely revealed his intention to usurpate the rebellion.
At this time, the little emperor not only did not look unhappy at all, but instead replied happily: "All it is up to the Grand Master to arrange it."
