The chaos in Luoyang City terrified the young emperor in the palace.

He hurriedly went to Yongle Palace to find Empress Dowager He.

The mother and child huddled together, trembling uncontrollably.

This is the third riot in Luoyang since the young emperor ascended the throne.

The first attempt was by He Jin to kill the Ten Attendants, but the attempt failed.

The second incident was when the Ten Attendants assassinated He Jin. Yuan Shao and Cao Cao led their troops into the palace, and the young emperor was taken hostage by the Ten Attendants to Mount Beiman.

Now, I wonder which group of people is coming to the palace.

During each uprising, the young emperor was treated like a mascot and taken around.

"Eunuch Wang, what's going on? Who is causing this trouble?"

"Have General Lu Zhi, the Western Garden Army, Governor Huang, and the Five Schools of the Northern Camp received the imperial edict? When will they escort the Emperor?"

She thought that if her son became emperor and she became empress dowager, she could wield power like Empress Lü and easily control the life and death of others.

But these things were of little use in the face of true strength.

It was only at this point that Empress Dowager He remembered to win over the ministers and cultivate her own faction.

"Your Majesty, the imperial edict has been delivered to General Lu and the other generals. They should arrive soon."

"The palace is now guarded by three thousand Imperial Guards, so any disturbances from outside cannot get in."

Wang Zhen downplayed the issue.

"Who is causing trouble? I ask you, who is causing trouble?" Empress Dowager He was furious.

"I heard from the servants that they are soldiers of Dong Min, the Grand Tutor's younger brother." Wang Zhen was so frightened by Empress Dowager He's shout that he shrank back.

"As expected of that traitorous minister who brought ruin to the country!" Empress Dowager He gritted her teeth in hatred. "Where are the Grand Tutor and his gang?"

"They...they..."

Wang Zhen currently only knows that Yuan Feng and Wang Yun went to the *** Mansion.

"Let them fight amongst themselves! All they do is fight amongst themselves. Why don't they go and fight Liu Wei instead!"

Empress Dowager He herself was confused and said angrily.

Faced with Liu Wei's powerful military strength, the three forces of Yuan, Empress Dowager He, and Dong Zhuo experienced such a chain reaction after Liu Wei sent 6,000 cavalry to attack Dong Zhuo's camp at Beiman Mountain.

It's like a powerful figure watching the fierce battles from outside the arena.

He hesitated to leave the arena, or perhaps he didn't need to; he only needed to lightly lash anyone in the arena with a whip.

Then the people in the arena had no choice but to take up arms and fight desperately.

Their battles were confined to the arena.

Ultimately, fate was in the hands of those outside the game.

"Your Majesty, you must remain calm now. The more chaotic the situation, the more likely there is a chance for a turnaround."

"Your safety and His Majesty's safety are more important than anything else."

Seeing that Empress Dowager He was agitated, Wang Zhen quickly tried to calm her down.

Empress Dowager He remained silent for a moment, then stood up and paced back and forth. Suddenly, her eyes lit up:

"I am well aware that Liu Wei wants my life and wants His Majesty to abdicate, but I will not allow it!"

"Eunuch Wang, it seems Dong Zhuo is planning to abandon Luoyang this time, isn't he?"

Wang Zhen replied, "Your Majesty is wise. Dong Zhuo knew he could not defeat the King of Yunzhong, so he deliberately set fire to Luoyang to attract the King of Yunzhong's attention so that he could take the opportunity to escape."

"Send someone to contact him now and tell him that His Majesty and I will be going with him." Empress Dowager He's eyes were firm and resolute.

"Empress Dowager, this..."

Wang Zhen was shocked. Had the Empress Dowager lost her mind? She had followed Dong Zhuo and fled Luoyang. Wasn't she digging her own grave?

"Go quickly!"

Empress Dowager He's eyes turned cold. "Once the Western Garden Army, Governor Huang, Doctor Lu, and others arrive with their troops, they will also leave Luoyang together."

"One day, I will return!"

Wang Zhen was about to go crazy.

How could an emperor voluntarily leave the capital? Now Empress Dowager He is actually going to run away with Dong Zhuo.

"What are you still standing here for? Get to it right now!" Empress Dowager He shouted.

Wang Zhen turned and left helplessly.

He didn't want to leave Luoyang.

Just then, the Imperial Guard General arrived at the gate of Yongle Palace with a large group of Imperial Guards, shouting that he wanted to see the Empress Dowager.

The eunuch rushed over to report, and Empress Dowager He hurriedly went out.

"Empress Dowager, Empress Dowager, Zhengyang Gate has fallen! Let us protect His Majesty and get him out of here first!" The Imperial Guard General, his armor disheveled and panting, said.

What?

"The palace gates of the imperial city have been breached? How did this happen?"

"It was Li Ru, the strategist by the Grand Tutor's side, and his general Niu Fu who came with countless troops. They planted an inside agent to open the palace gates amidst the chaos."

The Imperial Guard General said timidly.

A traitor was found among his subordinates, and he, as the leader, failed to detect it—a grave offense!

Shouts of killing rang out not far away, followed by the cries and screams of palace maids and the screams of eunuchs.

"Your Majesty, let's go quickly! We'll leave from the East Garden. General Lu Zhi and his men should be on their way from the East Gate of Luoyang."

Seeing this, Wang Zhen advised Empress Dowager He to take the young emperor and leave first.

"Why leave? I'll wait here for Li Ru and Niu Fu to arrive!"

However, Empress Dowager He sternly rebuked Wang Zhen and the Imperial Guard General for their advice.

ah!

The Imperial Guard General looked at Wang Zhen with confusion, but Wang Zhen immediately understood that Empress Dowager He wanted to talk to Dong Zhuo's men and have them take her and the young emperor away.

"Your Majesty, these rebel soldiers from Bingzhou are all ferocious and vicious. If His Majesty falls into their hands, he will be finished!"

The Imperial Guard General earnestly advised him.

The memory of Liu Bian being kidnapped to Beiman Mountain by Zhao Zhong and Guo Sheng of the Ten Attendants and then staying in Dong Zhuo's camp for half a month is still fresh in my mind. How could he fall into Dong Zhuo's hands again this time?

"Shut up! Do you dare disobey me?" Empress Dowager He seemed stubborn and red-eyed, refusing to listen to reason.
