In the imperial study of Emperor Ling of Han, he sat upright in the middle.

Zhang Liang was tied up and knelt in the middle of the imperial study room, and was taken into custody by several guards.

Next to Zhang Liang were two handsome young men, both dressed in amateur clothes.

He Jin, Zhang Rang, Feng Zi and others quickly walked into the imperial study room and knelt down in front of Emperor Ling of Han: "Long live my emperor, please come and see me!"

Emperor Ling of Han obviously did not affect his mood because he was awakened in his sleep. Instead, Long Yan looked at the ministers in front of him with joy and waved his hand, "All my dear friends, get up quickly."

Zhang Rang and others then got up from the ground and stood up.

Emperor Ling of Han ordered to the small inner prison beside him: "Hurry, watch the seat for my father."

The little inner supervisor hurried forward and helped Zhang Rang to sit down.

He Jin looked at Zhang Rang coldly. Although he was dissatisfied, he could only endure it. Then he turned to look at Zhang Liang who was kneeling on the side, and his anger quickly rose to his heart.

He Jin stepped forward and kicked Zhang Liang hard, and then cursed angrily: "Evil thief, you have today too!"

Emperor Ling of Han knew that He Jin was tragically tragic to death by his beloved son. He only advised him after he vented his anger: "He Aiqing, please calm down and please sit down."

The inner supervisor hurriedly stepped forward to take the seat. He Jin did not dare to disobey Emperor Ling, so he could only stare at Zhang Liang fiercely, walk to his seat and sit down.

He Jin couldn't wait to say, "Your Majesty, Zhang Liang has been arrested. Please push him out of the Meridian Gate and behead him immediately to show his head to publicly shock those rebels!"

When Feng Xi heard He Jin's proposal to kill Zhang Liang, he hurried forward to dissuade him: "Your Majesty, General, you must not!"

He Jin immediately glared: "Why not?"

Emperor Ling of Han was also a little dissatisfied when he saw He Jin so arrogant: "He Aiqing, I have my own arrangements for how to deal with Zhang Liang. You can listen to Feng Aiqing finish his words first."

Although Emperor Ling's words gave He Jin some face, they had already clearly expressed their dissatisfaction.

He Jin immediately understood the attitude of Emperor Ling and lowered his head and did not dare to say more.

"Feng Aiqing, please continue." Emperor Ling said to Feng Xi.

"Your Majesty, tomorrow will be a grand ceremony for you to leave the palace and celebrate with the people. It is not a good omen to be asked to kill Zhang Liang at this time."

"The old slave dared to suggest that Zhang Liang should be temporarily detained to Tianzhuo first. After the celebration is over, it will be more appropriate to inform the world of being sentenced to death." Feng Zi told Emperor Ling about his suggestions.

Zhang Rang turned to Emperor Ling: "Your Majesty, I think Feng Zi is very true."

The two eunuchs said this, so Emperor Ling naturally would not refute it. He nodded immediately and said, "What the two beloved ministers said is very consistent with my wishes. Come and take Zhang Liang to the Heavenly Prison first, and then take him to the death of the day."

The guards immediately dragged Zhang Liang from the ground, took him out of the imperial study room, and sent him to the Heavenly Prison.

Although He Jin was resentful, Emperor Ling had issued an order, and he did not dare to refute it, so he could only force himself to hold it back.

"Feng Yaoqing, you and the queen met me the day before yesterday. They proposed that there is no need to cancel the ceremony. As long as you hang a heavy reward, there will naturally be heroes who can capture Zhang Liang."

"Only one day later, these two righteous men captured Zhang Liang. Your words were indeed effective." Emperor Ling praised Feng Xie with a smile on his face.

"This is all the blessings of Your Majesty, and the world will naturally be in the heart. I am just telling the facts truthfully." Feng Zi responded humbly.

Emperor Ling nodded slowly, looked at the two young people in front of him and asked: "What are the names of you two? Where are the people, and how did they capture Zhang Liang?"

The two of them hurriedly knelt down and the older one reported to Emperor Ling: "The emperor, the Cao people's name is Bao Tong, he is my righteous brother, named Xue Fan, and both of us are from Jizhou."

"Just because of the moth thieves, we lost our homes and had no choice but to escape to Luoyang. We saw the notice of wanting Zhang Liang on the street, and happened to find his trace on the street. We followed all the way to the near the palace and captured him after fighting."

Emperor Ling nodded in praise: "You two captured the moth thief and made great contributions. I will reward you two with the reward according to the reward!"

Bao Tong hurriedly responded: "Master, I am both civilians. Although I have been practicing martial arts since I was a child, I have no way to serve the country. Today, I am not greedy for bounty, but I just want the Majesty to allow me to join the army, be loyal to the Majesty, and protect the Han Dynasty forever."

After hearing Xue Fan's words, Emperor Ling immediately smiled: "Well, if you are such a hero, if you cannot serve the country, it will be a pity?! You two have made contributions to capturing the thief, and the bounty will be issued. I allow you two to join the Southern Army, be appointed as the governor, and to protect the palace with full-time duty."

Bao Tong and Xue Fan were very happy when they heard Emperor Ling's words and kowtowed immediately: "Thank you Your Majesty for your kindness!"

Zhang Rangzhuan said to Emperor Ling: "Congratulations to Your Majesty for being protected by heroes. My country of Han will definitely be as solid as a god, and the world will be peaceful!"

Emperor Ling was overjoyed and immediately announced to everyone: "Now that Zhang Liang has been captured and the capital is stable, all the ministers will go back and continue to prepare. The grand ceremony will be carried out as usual tomorrow. I will share the peace and prosperity with the people of Luoyang!"

Everyone stood up and saluted: "Abide by the order!"

Zhang Liang's life was temporarily saved, but Feng Xi was still very worried about what the result of his family was. After quitting the imperial study, he accelerated his pace and left the palace first.

However, Zhang Rang was much more steady. After walking out of the palace, he bowed to He Jin and then got into the sedan chair and returned home.

Cao Cao and Yuan Shao, who were waiting outside the palace, saw He Jin coming out, and hurriedly came forward.

"General, is Zhang Liang really caught?" Cao Cao still didn't believe the result and asked Cao Cao anxiously.

"It's indeed this dog thief. But the emperor listened to the suggestion of the eunuch Feng Zhi and refused to kill him now, and insisted on waiting for the ceremony." He Jin was obviously very unwilling to accept this result and responded angrily.

"Meng De, food, grass and weapons, I have almost prepared it. When the celebration ends tomorrow, you can follow the escort troops back to Changshe."

"Remember this general's advice and must pass the message to Zhu Yan and Huangfu Song, and let them capture Zhang Jiao and come to me!" He Jin did not quell the fire because Zhang Liang was arrested, but still issued an order to urge Cao Cao to fight.

"Here!" Cao Cao hurriedly responded to the promise, and then he asked in confusion, "Dare you ask the general, who is the one who captured Zhang Liang?"

If Han Tao really caught Zhang Liang, he would not have been in a hurry to go to the palace to ask for rewards. But if it weren't for him, who would it be? This is a question that Cao Cao was very curious about.

"It was two grass-roots people from Jizhou. The emperor rewarded them highly and asked them to join the Southern Army, and were appointed as the governors, and were dedicated to guarding the palace." He Jin answered Cao Cao's question.

After hearing He Jin's response, Yuan Shao said worriedly: "Jizhou Caomin? How can such people of unknown origin directly join the Southern Army to guard the palace? This..."

He Jin directly interrupted him: "This is the will of the Lord, and you can question it? Now that Zhang Liang has been arrested, it is yours to quickly remove the wanted notice hanging in the city and prepare for tomorrow's Lord's trip ceremony."

After He Jin said this, Yuan Shao did not dare to say more, so he could only bow his head and bow: "Here!"

Yuan Shao was ridiculed by He Jin, so Cao Cao naturally did not dare to say anything. He could only lower his head and leave with He Jin.
