It was January 184 AD. It had only been a month since the uprising of the Yellow Turban Army.
The Head Eunuch Zhang Rang brought the imperial edict of Han Ling Emperor Liu Hong and a group of imperial guards to Liu Ye's residence.
"The eldest son of the Emperor, Liu Ye, has been demoted to the governor of Yanmen County for his misbehavior. He will set out on a certain day and will not take half a step into Luoyang without an edict.”
After reading the imperial edict, Zhang Rang took Liu Hong's imperial edict and threw it beside Liu Ye. He said condescendingly,""Your Highness Zhao Wang, this is a generous reward from His Majesty.”
As he spoke, Zhang Rang let out a sinister laugh.
"It must have been thanks to a eunuch like you that this prince was able to leave Luoyang.”
Liu Ye raised his head and looked at Zhang Rang silently.
Hearing this, Zhang Rang burst into laughter and said,"That's right. Since Your Highness knows, I'll tell you.”
"Who asked Your Highness Zhao Wang, you have the identity of the eldest son of the legitimate wife, which hindered the Empress's matters. The Empress simply asked Noble Consort Yang and Noble Consort Li for help, saying that you had infiltrated their palace many times, wanting to tease them.”
"As for our family, we didn't do anything. We were just witnesses.”
Hearing Zhang Rang's proud laughter, Liu Ye's face turned cold. He stared at Zhang Rang without saying a word, like a sleeping lion.
This gaze made Zhang Rang step back repeatedly, subconsciously feeling fear in his heart.
However, Zhang Rang immediately reacted and said with a vicious gaze,"Your Highness, this is the Imperial Palace, and there are Imperial Guards at the entrance. Your Highness, do you want to kill me?”
"My life is cheap, death is not worth regretting. King Zhao, you have to cherish your noble little life.”
After saying that, he was worried that Liu Ye would kill him in anger, so he was so scared that he rushed out of the door in a panic.
Liu Ye was the only one left in the main hall of the Prince Zhao Residence. He picked up the seal at the side. It was the seal of the Yanmen County Governor.
"Liu Hong, you're so muddle-headed and incompetent. The Han Dynasty has been around for more than 400 years.”
"Fine. Since you want me to leave, I'll do as you say.”
"However, when this king returns in the future, it will be the day you abdicate.”
"As for you, your favorite Empress He and the Ten Attendants, this king will let these people go to the underworld to continue serving you in the future.”
It turned out that Liu Ye was not the real Liu Ye. He had transmigrated from the future.
He was the son of Han Ling Emperor Liu Hong and the former Empress. He was Liu Hong's eldest son. He was usually honest and kind, and was deeply loved by the civil and military officials.
According to the inheritance system of the Han Dynasty, he would be the next emperor of the Han Dynasty.
It was precisely because of Liu Ye's identity that he was feared by Empress He, who was born a butcher.
In order to make his good-for-nothing son Liu Bian the next emperor of the Han Dynasty, Empress He had been thinking of ways to deal with Liu Ye.
Ever since Liu Ye transmigrated, he had always been careful. For the sake of his reputation and power, he had also befriended Lu Zhi and other great scholars.
He had thought that he could survive until the Yellow Turban uprising. At that time, as the eldest son of the emperor, he would think of a way to lead the army to quell the rebellion and establish military merit. Then, his reputation would spread far and wide and he would be able to completely secure his position.
He had never thought that a good-for-nothing like Liu Hong would actually believe the words of Empress He and Zhang Rang and use this groundless accusation to push him out of Luoyang.
Liu Ye did not hate Empress He at all. Instead, he wanted to thank her for letting him understand a principle.
Although Liu Ye had the status of the eldest son of the emperor, he had no soldiers or power now. He only had the title of King of Zhao.
If Empress He and the others used a vicious scheme to harm him, it would make him unable to guard against it.
It would be different if he was demoted to Yanmen.
As the frontline of the resistance against the Xiongnu, he could take the opportunity to control the military after becoming the governor of Yanmen.
In this chaotic world, only with soldiers in hand could one have the right to speak.
Yanmen was the place where he would rise.
Worried that Empress He would plot against him, Liu Ye did not hesitate after receiving the imperial edict. He packed up a little and prepared to take up his post with dozens of guards in the mansion.
As soon as they left the palace gates, Zhang Rang led another group of Imperial Army soldiers."His Majesty has ordered the Imperial Army to escort His Highness the King of Zhao to Yanmen.”
Zhang Rang's hoarse voice was so ear-piercing.
However, before Liu Ye could say anything, Zhang Rang waved his hand and said,"His Majesty also said that Zhao Yang should set off immediately and rush to Yanmen without any delay.”
When Liu Ye heard this, he once again swept his cold gaze over Zhang Rang before turning his gaze to the Imperial Army soldiers behind him.
Two hundred Imperial Army soldiers, no more, no less.
As the guards of a prince, this amount of Imperial Army soldiers was nothing.
But who asked him to be a demoted prince, and the game scripture didn't have any requirements.
However, whether these Imperial Army soldiers were here to protect him or to take his life halfway through the journey, he didn't know.
"Luoyang City. One day, I, Liu Ye, will definitely return.”
"When this king returns, I will definitely trample the entire Luoyang City under my feet.”
After leaving Luoyang City, Liu Ye opened the curtain of the carriage and took another look at the majestic Luoyang City.
Then, he turned around and left without looking back.
