Three Kingdoms: Ten Times Speed, Diao Chan Says I'm Too Fast

A proclamation denouncing the rebels!

When Jian Shuo saw clearly the words written at the top of the white paper in his hand, his hands trembled slightly.

However, after reading only the first line of words, Jian Shuo knelt down on the ground with a thud.

Then he held the white paper high with both hands.

The people in the side hall all focused their attention on the white paper in Jian Shuo's hand.

Curious about what the contents of the document could have caused Jian Shuo such a great shock.

Empress Dowager Dong was no exception, and with a wave of her long sleeves, she said, "Bring it here."

A palace maid approached Jian Shuo with small, quick steps, took the white paper, and placed it in front of the Empress Dowager Dong.

After taking the white paper, Empress Dowager Dong glanced down at it.

Just like Jian Shuo, the Empress Dowager Dong's expression changed drastically the moment she first glanced at the white paper.

Proclamation against the Bandits:

The heavens collapsed, and the Purple Star dimmed.

The empress stole the cauldron, and the hen crowed at dawn.

They harmed imperial heirs and abused power in the harem.

Loyal and virtuous people suffer injustice, their bones exposed to the elements.

The court is filled with treacherous officials, and the air is thick with filth.

The nine palaces are covered in dust, and heaven and earth have fallen!

I was originally a commoner, but thanks to the late emperor's favor, I was given important weapons to defend the country and guard the borders. I received the emperor's salary and was loyal to the emperor and loved the country, but I suffered greatly at the hands of the wicked empress.

I, Duan Yu, expanded the territory of the country and conquered the Western Regions. However, the wicked empress usurped power and cruelly harmed my brothers in Hedong.

I came to offer my condolences, but was besieged by the imperial army and had no choice but to abandon the city and flee.

The empress, with her rouge and dagger concealed, and her silk robes wrapped with poison, is determined to kill me!

I am utterly baffled. From the time I raised the army in Jinyang, I eliminated treacherous officials, burned the Han army, shed blood for the Xiongnu, promoted the prestige of the Han Dynasty, conquered the barbarians, established Liangzhou, quelled the Qiang rebellion, fought against the Yellow Turbans, and guarded the western border. I have survived countless near-death experiences and achieved numerous military exploits. Why then do you want to harm me?

Fighting for the country, my brother died tragically. I am furious but not without reason. I just want to find out the cause of my brother's death.

The Fan and Wei families, both commoners from Hedong, conspired with Yuan Shu, the son and nephew of Yuan Kui, the Grand Tutor of the Imperial Court, to persecute my brothers.

As the Governor of Liangzhou, Marquis of Ten Thousand Households, and General Who Conquers the West, I am granted authority by the Emperor. What crime have I committed in punishing a mere commoner?

Considering my position as a court official, and my obligation to uphold the law and not punish the court official Fu'an, I have decided to spare the life of General Yuan Shu, placing high hopes on the court and on my own impartiality.

Of course.

The Northern General Huangfu Song and the Eastern General Zhu Jun led an army of 50,000 to besiege the city, intending to frame me and kill me.

When I fled to Hedong, I was ambushed and killed by Yuan Ji, the son and nephew of the Grand Tutor and the Grand Master of the Palace, who led an army of 100,000 at Baibo Valley.

Oh, vast heavens, bright and clear earth, yet jackals and wolves rule the land, foxes and rats fill the court, how can they so cruelly persecute the loyal and good?

Reflecting on his crimes, I wonder why he deserves to be punished?

It's all because I discovered the wicked empress's heart was truly venomous!

When the late emperor was seriously ill, the wicked empress plotted to usurp the throne. She conspired with the eunuch Jian Shuo in the palace to harm the eldest son, Bian, and attempted to depose the legitimate eldest son and establish a son of a concubine, thus violating the moral order. This was because the wicked empress wanted to establish Xie, the prince she had raised, as the crown prince.

I discovered the evil intentions of the empress dowager and the eunuch Jian Shuo, and rescued the eldest prince Bian when he was in danger. I had no intention of causing chaos in the country, but only because I remembered the kindness and trust of the late emperor and wanted to preserve his bloodline.

When the Empress Dowager learned of this, she wanted to get rid of me as soon as possible and carried out the act of deposing the eldest legitimate son and installing a son of a concubine to usurp the throne.

I am a good general, wholeheartedly dedicated to defending the country and guarding the borders, expanding the territory.

However, with treacherous officials in the country and the nation hanging by a thread, I have received the late emperor's favor and should repay it!

The emperor has fallen, and the wicked empress is triumphant. She frames General He Jin and Empress He, falsely accusing the empress of having an affair and wantonly defaming her.

The emperor's unborn child in the empress's womb was called a "ghost fetus."

His heart is as venomous as a snake, as clear as day!

I now stand in Chang'an, wielding weapons to defend the nation, drawing my bow to shoot down the Heavenly Wolf. Wherever my golden spear points, demons and monsters will surely reveal themselves!

"Be bold!"

When the last word came into view, the Empress Dowager's hands in the East Market trembled.

A delicate shout echoed throughout the entire side hall.

Anger, guilt, fear, and unease instantly overwhelmed Dong.

"Where...where did this thing come from?!"

Empress Dowager Dong looked at the eunuch who had just entered and presented the "Proclamation Against the Traitors".

The eunuch pressed his head tightly to the ground, his body trembling as he said, "Reporting to the Empress Dowager... it is said... it is said that just now, more than a dozen carriages were speeding along the city streets, and spilled... spilled from the carriages."

A dozen or so horse-drawn carriages...

Scattered along the main street of the city...

So, by now, the whole of Luoyang should know about it.

He Duan Yu...

Empress Dowager Dong clenched her teeth.

"Immediately send men to confiscate this rebellious book! Confiscate it!"

Dong's stern shouts echoed throughout the entire side hall.

..............

Although Empress Dowager Dong ordered the confiscation of the "Proclamation Against the Traitor" spread by Duan Yu throughout the city, this was clearly unrealistic.

A dozen or so horse-drawn carriages were filled with printed proclamations denouncing the traitors. There was no need for anyone to spread them; all that was needed was to startle the horses and let them run wildly down the street.

The "Proclamation Against the Traitors," printed on white paper, was spread across the streets of Luoyang almost simultaneously, its overwhelming force like a July snowfall, enveloping Luoyang in a chill.

Previously, when the eldest prince Liu Bian disappeared in the palace, the explanation given by Empress Dowager Dong was already far-fetched.

But now the truth has come out.

The Dong clan conspired with the eunuch Jian Shuo to murder the eldest son of the emperor and support Liu Xie, the Marquis of Dong, to ascend the throne.

No matter how you look at it or analyze it, this matter is true.

Although Liu Xie, the Marquis of Dong, was made crown prince, he never received an imperial edict to inherit the throne.

The truth behind the abolition of the eldest legitimate son and the establishment of a son born of a concubine is becoming increasingly clear.

Rumors and speculations swept through every corner of Luoyang like a whirlwind.

Of course, it's not just Luoyang.

Huai County of Hanoi Commandery, Anyi County of Hedong Commandery, Hongnong Commandery, Zuo Fengyi, Jingzhao Yin, You Fufeng, Ye County of Wei Commandery in Ji Province, Taiyuan and Jinyang in Bing Province...

.............

Youzhou, Guangyang Commandery, Ji County.

Noon, Ji County.

Inside the council hall of Liu Yu's governor's office, a large number of people gathered to discuss politics.

Just before noon, Liu Yu ordered the prepared wine and meat to be served on the table in front of everyone.

Wearing a purple robe and a golden crown, Liu Yu sat in the main seat. Although he was middle-aged, he still looked very energetic.

“Bo Gui”.

Liu Yu held a golden wine vessel and looked at a young man sitting in the first seat on the left.

The young man was tall and strong, with a heroic look on his face. He wore a set of silver armor and a white cloak behind him.

His high nose bridge and thick eyebrows make his facial features look very three-dimensional.

The slight arrogance between his brows added a touch of youthful pride to the young man.

"In this campaign against the Xianbei, Bo Gui deserves the greatest credit. I should petition the court to grant Bo Gui a higher title," Liu Yu said to the young man with a smile.

Upon hearing this, Gongsun Zan stood up with a smug look on his face, cupped his hands in thanks to Liu Yu, and said, "Thank you, sir. I will certainly do my best."

Liu Yu gestured for Gongsun Zan to sit down.

Just as the victory celebration was in full swing.

Suddenly, hurried footsteps echoed outside the council hall.

A young man, about seven feet tall and dressed in a gray-white robe, walked in a few steps.

He was also holding a stack of white paper in his hand.

"Father......"

As soon as the young man entered the council hall, he bowed and greeted Liu Yu, who was sitting in the main seat.

But Liu Yu, who was sitting in the main seat, frowned and said, "Why are you in such a hurry? Didn't I tell you that in official matters you should address people by their official titles?"

Liu Yu's son, Liu He, immediately changed his form of address to "Governor".

"What is it?" Liu Yu finally asked.

Liu He presented the blank sheet of paper in his hand and said, "Father, just now, more than a dozen carriages sped through the city, spilling these... these..."

For a moment, Liu He, looking embarrassed, didn't know how to address what was written on the white paper.

Liu Yu frowned as he looked at the stammering Liu He and said, "Don't you even understand this basic principle of remaining calm and composed in the face of adversity? Bring it here."

Liu Yu naturally realized that Liu He intended to present what he had in his hands.

Liu He quickly took two steps and, under the watchful eyes of Gongsun Zan and the others, placed the blank paper in front of Liu Yu.

Liu Yu looked down at the white paper covered with writing.

however.

As soon as Liu Yu glanced at the contents, he completely forgot the words he had just taught Liu He to remain calm in the face of adversity, and was so shocked that he stood up from his seat.

"this......"

"this......"

Protector of the Xianbei, Gongsun Zan; Protector of the Wuhuan, Gongqi Chou; Prefect of Guangyang, Liu Zheng; and all of Liu Yu's subordinates all looked at Liu Yu, curious about what was written on the white paper in his hand.

"this......"

"Could it be that the world is about to descend into chaos?!" Liu Yu muttered to himself in shock.

"My lord, what exactly happened?"

Gongsun Zan looked at Liu Yu.

But they were still far away, and Gongsun Zan couldn't see the contents of the white paper clearly, so he could only try to ask.

Liu Yu glanced at Gongsun Zan, then at the many officials in the hall.

This kind of thing can't be kept secret.

As Liu He just mentioned, there are more than a dozen carriages scattered throughout the city. Even if we don't tell them now, they will find out soon enough.

After taking a deep breath, Liu Yu handed the blank paper to Liu He and nodded to him.

Holding a stack of white paper in his hands, Liu He walked with a heavy gait, as if he were carrying a hundred-pound millstone. He then distributed the white paper to each person, one sheet at a time.
