Chapter 47: Changes in the Court

As a pioneer, Yuan Shao swept away all obstacles along the way.

The night owl is gone, and the defense force in this palace is itself the Imperial Forester.

Except for the Imperial Guards, that is, some eunuchs.

For Yuan Shao, who led the 5,000 Imperial Forest Army, it didn't pose a threat at all.

Easily controlled the entire palace.

I have to say that this is really an easy palace coup.

Even many palace guards have directly turned against each other.

After all, everyone knows that Liu Hong has passed away, and whether it is according to the strength of the government and the opposition, or according to the orthodox inheritance, it is the eldest prince Liu Wei who wants to inherit the throne.

And the general He Jin is the maternal uncle of the great prince Liu Wei and the elder brother of the current Empress He.

It is also the minister who accepted His Majesty's dictation and entered the palace to discuss the future, and the people's aspirations are also very clear.

He Jin introduced more than 30 ministers such as He Yu, Xun You, and Zheng Tai, and followed Yuan Shao into the palace.

After Yuan Shao thoroughly inspected the enemies inside and outside the palace who were not in ambush, he strictly disciplined his subordinates, and He Jin also entered the palace.

The ministers saw Liu Hong, who had been placed in the coffin.

Some breathed a sigh of relief, while others shook their heads in disbelief.

Unexpectedly, the man who had brought despair and confidence to the government and the opposition at the beginning was now lying in this coffin, closing his eyes forever.

He didn't have much opportunity to tell his merits and demerits.

Perhaps, in the future, it will only leave him with notoriety.

But.

The dead emperor is worthless.

After worshipping according to the ritual system, He Jin, on behalf of the hundred officials and His Majesty's ministers of Tuogu, announced in front of Liu Hong's coffin that he would support the enthronement of the eldest prince Liu Wei, which was orthodox.

The new emperor ascended the throne, and hundreds of officials worshipped.

Liu Wei, who was not very old, looked at this heart-wrenching scene in front of him with some blankness, he was inexplicably put on a dragon robe and sat on the throne.

His own father is gone?

He didn't even see his father for the last time.

Fortunately, the queen mother is behind him, and his uncle is also by his side.

I still have something to rely on.

Liu Wei swallowed his saliva and narrowed his eyes, hoping to calm himself down and adapt to his new identity.

But this is not the end of the day.

After briefly announcing Liu Wei's accession to the throne, He Jin took over as regent and announced his retirement from the dynasty.

has controlled the inside and outside of the court, so the next thing to do is to settle the general account.

The first person he wanted to kill was Jian Shuo.

However, today is a good day for the death of the first emperor and the accession of the new emperor, and as the uncle of the country, he naturally can't do it himself.

In this way, there is a national body and a face.

Then there will naturally be sensible people to help him solve the previous troubles.

"Jian Shuo, where are you going?"

Yuan Shao carried the bronze sword in his hand.

There was still blood dripping from his blade, and he approached the retreating Jian Shuo step by step.

Jian Shuo didn't expect that one step would become what he is now.

He turned out to be a turtle in an urn, and he either chose to be caught or fled for his life.

The consequence of being tied up is inevitably a dead end.

But this huge palace has been in the hands of He Jin, and Yuan Shao is the direct controller.

Where can I escape?

Jian Shuo retreated in a panic.

He hurried into the Imperial Garden, leaning against a peach tree.

The peach branches on the peach tree are blooming at this time.

The pink peach blossoms look extremely beautiful, and in the pouring of sunlight, the peach petals show layers of gradual color, which is also beautiful.

Usually, Jian Shuo is often invited by Liu Hong to enjoy the flowers in this imperial garden.

He used to look at the flowers and see them with fascination.

was ridiculed by Liu Hong.

Today, he remembered that teasing remark.

"You love flowers so much, I think if you die, I will bury you under the peach tree in this imperial garden as flower fertilizer."

At that time, all he knew was to laugh with him.

But I didn't know that this had become an important prophecy in my life.

Back to the peach tree.

Jian Shuo pulled out a short blade from his waist, and faced Yuan Shao, who was approaching step by step, and made a defensive posture.

He didn't want to admit defeat like this, he still had to fight.

Even if it's a life for a life.

Jian Shuo's face was grim, and he seemed to be prepared.

"Poof!"

The sound of the sword entering the body, the feeling of blood rushing.

Jian Shuo looked at the tip of the sword that came out of his chest in disbelief, this sword coming from behind, he really didn't expect it.

His eyes widened and he lost his breath.

"You're robbing me of my merits."

Yuan Shao put away the bronze sword in his hand and quipped at the man behind Jian Shuo.

"But, Guo Sheng, you're ruining a beautiful peach tree."

Yuan Shao walked up to the peach tree and gently stroked the trunk of the peach tree, which was also passed through.

"Living up to the mission."

The man who killed Jian Shuo with a sword lowered his head and saluted Yuan Shao.

"Haha, good thing."

Yuan Shao patted him on the shoulder, turned around and left the Imperial Garden.

Yuan Shao didn't go for a walk.

He took the Imperial Forest Army to accept all the organizations in the entire palace, ensuring that the entire palace was under He Jin's control.

This time, I have to say that Yuan Shao did an extremely beautiful job.

Of course, this does not mean the end of this palace coup.

"General, Yuan Sili asks to see you."

He Jin, who was exchanging ideas with his nephew in the palace, received the news that Yuan Shao asked to see him, and he was appreciative and tolerant of this young talent who helped him, and he waved his hand.

"Let him come in directly, and your majesty should meet this talent."

With a steady sound of footsteps, Yuan Shao entered the palace and met the newly appointed Han Emperor Liu Wei and the general He Jin.

"Minister Yuan Shao, meet Your Majesty, meet the general."

Yuan Shaoli is thoughtful and talented, which makes Liu Wei's eyes shine.

This is my future general!

He didn't know why he suddenly had such an idea.

But he was then taken back.

He looked at his uncle beside him, the current general is his uncle, he thinks so, but he doesn't believe in his family, he believes in outsiders.

Liu Wei saw He Jin nodding at him, and then opened his mouth to let Yuan Shao flatten.

"What happened to Yuan Aiqing?"

He Jin deliberately asked Liu Wei to exercise himself, gave him a look, and asked him to ask Yuan Shao by himself.

Liu Wei sat up straight, raised his chin, and asked.

"Your Majesty, the general, the eunuchs have formed a party for personal gain, made chaos in the court, and even want to murder the general and Your Majesty, you should take this opportunity today to get rid of them at once!"

Yuan Shao raised his head suddenly, and the stars and ambition in his eyes made Liu Wei, who had never seen anything in the world, tremble.

Kill them all?

Liu Wei, who grew up in Taoism, was a little disgusted by this behavior, but he did not dare to speak up to oppose and refuse Yuan Shao's proposal.

Because......

He has soldiers in his hands!

"Allow me... I think about it. ”

Liu Wei sat down, he looked at his uncle, and asked him for help, asking him to help him make up his mind.

But He Jin still wanted his nephew to be assertive, so he just looked at him quietly and didn't speak.

There was silence in the palace.

However, the progress on their side has stalled, and Zhang Rang's side may not be.

From the moment the Imperial Forest Army stormed the palace, Zhang Rang knew that his eunuchs had been defeated.

They can only become puppets of mermaid meat, and He Jin can kill them on the spot if he doesn't agree with him.

Their biggest reliance, Liu Hong had already closed his eyes and slept for a long time and went to his world of cultivating immortals.

Those who can protect themselves in front of the great general He Jin.

Who could there be?

Trapped in a small courtyard, this place is very hidden in the palace, it is one of the stations of the night owl before, Zhang Rang happened to know that at the beginning of the coup d'état, he hid here with the eunuchs close to him.

"Oh no, He Jin is going to kill us!"

I don't know where to get the news, a small yellow door ran into the yard in a panic.

Zhang Rang's breath became short, and he took his breath and made the most important decision.

"Let's go, go find the Queen!"
