Nangong, Anfu Palace.

At this moment, the entire Nangong has been controlled by Jian Shuo's direct subordinates, since Liu Hong established the Eighth School of the West Garden, Jian Shuo has put a lot of effort into this new army, not only often last time, but also equipped this army with the most sophisticated weapons and armor of the Han Dynasty, at the same time, in order to prevent his subordinates from being bought, the grassroots generals were personally selected by Jian Shuo, and many of them were still Jian Shuo's fellow villagers.

The five military commanders are all his henchmen.

"Shuogong, everything has been arranged." Shangjun Sima Pan Yin and Cui Geng came to Jian Shuo's side by side, bowed and saluted.

"From now on, no one is allowed to enter or leave Nangong without my order, and those who break intruder, no matter who they are, will be killed!" Jian Shuo stood outside the palace gate worriedly, and from time to time there were small yellow doors coming in and out, and the rich medicinal fragrance continued to come from the palace.

"Whoa!" The two said yes and prepared to leave.

"Cui Geng, you go and take charge of the palace gate, Pan Yin, you lead the headquarters to stay here." Jian Shuo called.

"Whoa!" Cui Geng saluted again, turned to leave, and Pan Yin was left behind.

Pan Yin is a fellow villager of Jian Shuo, and at such times, it is naturally more reliable to be a fellow villager, so Jian Shuo decided to hand over all the things in this palace to Pan Yin.

"Shuogong, Your Majesty, he ......" Seeing Cui Geng leaving, Pan Yin leaned over to Jian Shuo's side and asked in a low voice.

"Don't say much." Jian Shuo glared at Pan Yin: "Don't speculate, Your Majesty is very good!" ”

"Whoa!" Pan Yin was startled by Jian Shuo's appearance and quickly shut up.

"Get out of the way!" Just when Pan Shuo was waiting outside the hall, there was a sudden chaos outside the hall, but when he saw a group of people rushing outside the hall, he was blocked by Cui Geng outside the hall.

"Queen Mother, Queen, I have a military order with me, forgive me!" Cui Geng stood in front of the Queen Mother, letting people beat and scold, but he didn't take a step back.

"Shuogong, the Queen Mother, the Empress and the two princes are noble, and Cui Sima is afraid that it will be difficult to stop him." Pan Yin frowned.

"Stay here, I'll take a look." Jian Shuo sighed, he was able to block Nangong, but in this palace, the news could not be hidden.

"Slaves and maids see the queen mother, see the queen!" Jian Shuo walked quickly to the front of the palace and bowed to the Queen Mother and the Queen.

"Jian Shuo, you are so bold!" He Houfeng's eyes were full of anger, and he glared at Jian Shuo and said, "I'll wait to see Your Majesty, and you dare to stop me?" As soon as you are eunuch, don't you also want to take the palace? ”

"Empress Qiyu, this is Your Majesty's edict, not a slave or maid!" Jian Shuo's eyes flashed with anger, and he took out an edict from his arms and handed it to He Houdao: "Before Your Majesty wakes up, no one is allowed to approach, and violators ......"

"Can't I wait?" Empress Dowager Dong took Liu Xie's hand and asked with a frown.

"The Queen Mother forgives her sins, Your Majesty has an order, and the slaves and maids dare not disobey." Jian Shuo bowed.

"In that case, let's wait here." Empress Dowager Dong glanced at He Hou and said indifferently: "This is always okay, right?" ”

"This ......" Jian Shuo nodded helplessly, "Naturally." ”

No matter what, the queen mother and queen are the masters, he is a slave, how can he be qualified to drive people away?

"Shuogong, Your Majesty is awake, please come in." At this moment, a little yellow door hurriedly ran out, came to Jian Shuo's side, and bowed.

"The queen mother, the queen, wait a minute, the slave and maid will go to ask Your Majesty." When Jian Shuo heard this, he hurriedly confessed to several people.

"Go!" Empress Dowager Dong nodded.

Jian Shuo hurriedly trotted into the hall.

Liu Hong's face was sallow, and with the support of the maid, he leaned on the cushion and closed his eyes and pretended to sleep, heard the footsteps, slowly opened his eyes, looked outside and said, "But Jian Shuo?" ”

"Your Majesty, the slave is here!" Jian Shuo hurriedly approached and bowed.

"I'm afraid I won't be able to survive this time." Liu Hong shook his head tiredly and sighed.

"Your Majesty must not say that." Jian Shuo hurriedly said: "Your Majesty just occasionally felt a cold, took medicine, and will be fine in a few days." ”

"My body, I know it myself." Liu Hong waved his hand and said, "Don't be relieved, what's the hustle and bustle outside the hall?" ”

"It was the Queen Mother, the Queen and the two princes who were worried about Your Majesty's health and came to visit." Jian Shuo bowed.

"Worried?" Liu Hong sneered, shook his head and said, "Let them wait first, I have something to entrust to you." ”

"Your Majesty, please say, the slave and maid will never give up!" Jian Shuo understood, and hurriedly waved away the palace maids serving around.

"I've made up my mind." Liu Hong thought for a while and said: "Here is my edict, and I am destined to inherit the throne!" ”

Liu Hong took out an edict from under the bed and handed it to Jian Shuo and said, "You will definitely assist the Association to inherit the imperial business." ”

"Your Majesty, I'm afraid the general won't agree." Jian Shuo took the edict with some hesitation, and said with some concern.

"That's what I want you to do." Liu Hong looked at Jian Shuo and said: "Remove the uncle for me, if the uncle does not die, it will be difficult for the association to sit on the throne!" ”

"This ......" Jian Shuo hesitated, it was not so easy to kill He Jin, although he was now nominally in charge of the Eighth School of Xiyuan, but in actual control, he only controlled the Captain Department of the Military Academy.

And He Jin is still in charge of most of Luoyang's troops, Guangluxun, Zhi Jinwu, the five schools of the Northern Army, and the captain of the city gate are all under his jurisdiction.

There are too many dangers in this matter, one is not good, there may be no bones, but if you don't agree, I'm afraid you will be in a different place immediately.

"Your Majesty, rest assured, the slave and maid will fight to the death, and they will do this for Your Majesty!" Looking at Liu Hong's gaze, Jian Shuo gritted his teeth and bowed.

"Okay, I am the Son of Heaven, but at this last moment, there is only one eunuch by my side who can be trusted." Liu Hong nodded, sighed and said: "Don't worry, I won't let you run into it, you go and invite the queen mother and the association first, with Dong Chong's help, supplemented by the Xiyuan army, you can stabilize this Luoyang land, while I am still there at the moment, you secretly ordered my confidant to take my edict and go to summon my uncle to see me, then you only need to arrange people to be on the side, as soon as you see him, ...... immediately"

Liu Hong made a throat-cutting motion, looked at Jian Shuo with a calm gaze and said, "Immediately after the incident, unite with Dong Zhong and collect Uncle Guo's subordinates." ”

Jian Shuo nodded when he heard this, this idea sounded good, and he immediately received an edict from Liu Hong to summon He Jin, and then hurriedly came to the outside of the hall.

"Shuogong!" Pan Yin saw Jian Shuo and hurriedly stepped forward to salute.

Jian Shuo looked at Pan Yin, and after being silent for a moment, he said in a deep voice: "Pan Yin, how do I treat you?" ”

Pan Yin's heart jumped when he heard this, and he hurriedly bowed and said, "Shuogong treats me with grace and reconstruction!" ”

"If you hold this edict and go to see the general, you will say that Your Majesty has summoned him to meet him, and you want him to enter the palace immediately to meet Your Majesty." Jian Shuo handed the edict to Pan Yin and said in a deep voice.

Pan Yin didn't think much about it when he heard this, took the edict, and followed Jian Shuo to the outside of the palace.

"Queen Mother, Prince Xie, Your Majesty summons." Jian Shuo saluted to the two.

"Lead the way." Empress Dowager Dong glanced at He Hou with some smugness, and motioned for Jian Shuo to lead the way.

"Jian Shuo, did Your Majesty mention me?" He Hou called Jian Shuo.

"Not mentioned." Jian Shuo shook his head and left with Empress Dong on his own.

Looking at the direction in which the three of them left, He Hou was a little panicked, but when she saw Pan Yin on the side was about to leave, she hurriedly took a few steps forward, stopped Pan Yin, and looked at Cui Geng who was guarding outside the palace in the distance, she pulled Pan Yin aside and asked in a low voice, "How is Your Majesty's health now?" ”

Pan Yin smiled bitterly: "The queen forgives the sin, Pan Yin is only responsible for the guards in front of the palace, and he has no chance to see His Majesty." ”

"And what are you doing here?" He Hou frowned.

"Your Majesty wants to summon the general and order me to go and deliver the edict." Pan said incognito.

This sounds like a good thing, the Son of Heaven wants to entrust Gu to where to enter, but why only summoned Empress Dowager Dong and Liu Xie, but not himself to make peace?

After frowning and thinking for a while, Empress He's heart sank, if His Majesty wanted Liu Xie to inherit the throne, then the general would be the biggest obstacle.

Thinking of this, He Hou said in a deep voice: "You tell my brother that you can't enter the palace!" ”

"This ......," Pan Yin was stunned when he heard this.

"Pan Yin, I remember when you first arrived in Luoyang, you were in the General's Mansion, right?" He Hou looked at Pan Yin and said suddenly.

"How does the Empress know about this?" Pan Yin was taken aback.

This is Pan Yin's secret, when he first arrived in Luoyang, he had not met Jian Shuo before, he was very depressed, and He Jin at that time, although he was a relative of the emperor, but in Luoyang, the surface scenery, but everywhere was disdained, maybe it was the same disease, the two made friends, and the relationship was good, in the most depressed time, if it were not for He Jin's funding, Pan Yin was afraid that he would not be able to wait for Jian Shuo's appreciation, so he had to leave Luoyang gloomily.

Later, he met his fellow countryman Jian Shuo, and was valued by Jian Shuo, because of the hostile relationship between the two sides, the contact between Pan Yin and He Jin gradually faded, which was also a kind of suspicion.

Later, because he had some martial arts, also read books, and understood the art of war, he was sent to the West Garden by Jian Shuo, and after some training and selection, he was brought into the army by Jian Shuo and became a military horse, and because of his identity as a fellow countryman, he was relied on by Jian Shuo as a confidant.

One helped him get through the difficulties when he was down, and the other had the grace of knowing himself, for these two people, Pan Yin was grateful in his heart, but if he wanted to betray Jian Shuo, it was impossible, no matter how much others looked down on him, he also had his own loyalty.

"Empress, although the general has a kindness to me, this is Your Majesty's intention......" Pan Yin shook his head, bowed to He Hou and prepared to leave.

"But if this matter is about the life of the general, should General Pan also ignore it?" He Hou grabbed two and shouted in a low voice.

"What?" Pan Yin was taken aback when he heard this, and turned his head to look at He Hou incredulously.

"So far, the palace is not hidden from you, Your Majesty's time is short, at this time it must be a new monarch, if it is a debate, it is natural to recruit a general to assist, but Your Majesty will call the queen mother and the association into the palace, but my mother and son ignore it, I think it is to establish an association to inherit the throne, at this time to call the general into the palace, the general thinks, what is the matter?" He Hou stared at Pan Yindao.

"This ......" Pan Yin was a little upset.

"This palace is not asking General Pan to turn his back on Jian Shuo, he just wants to save my brother's life!" He Hou looked at Pan Yin and said in a low voice: "Just help my brother avoid this catastrophe, this palace has nothing else to ask for, if the general is still unwilling, this palace will thank General Pan for saving his life on behalf of his brother!" ”

After saying that, he made a gesture to worship.

How dare Pan Yin accept this worship, and hurriedly stepped forward to help: "The queen can't, the last general...... The last general will say yes. ”

He Hou didn't really want to bow down, but when he heard the words, he rose up and saluted Pan Yin: "So, thank you General Pan!" ”

Pan Yin sighed, but if it was really as the queen said, he really didn't want He Jin to die, so he immediately confessed, took the edict and Jian Shuo's warrant, and went straight out of the palace.
