Chapter 719: Spirit Emperor Collapse (II)
Chapter 719: Spirit Emperor Collapse (II)
In the original history, the Shichang Group supported Liu Xie, because Liu Bian's succession would make He Jin more powerful.
But now it's different, the Han Dynasty has been divided, and the imperial court is only about this one-third of an acre, and most of the military power is in the hands of He Jin.
The imperial power of the Han Dynasty has weakened to the extreme, but there are still disputes within the imperial court, and there are even Liangzhou assassins Dong Zhuo outside.
Once Dong Zhuo enters Beijing, the first thing to solve is to achieve his ten permanent servants, and He Jin, the former opponent, has become the only life-saving straw for the ten permanent servants, so it is naturally impossible for the ten permanent servants to oppose Liu Bian's succession.
Zhang Rang turned his head and glanced at everyone deeply, the meaning was self-evident, and everyone nodded after looking at each other, this edict must not be issued.
It is not that there are no loyal ministers of Liu Hong among them, but whether it is for their own lives or for the stability of the Han Dynasty, revising the edict is the best choice.
Liu Xie is still too young, even with the support of the Empress Dowager Dong, but there is no foundation in the court, it is impossible to ascend to the throne, Liu Wei is the best and only candidate at present.
Liu Hong didn't notice the small movements of the Ten Standing Attendants, if he knew that the Ten Standing Attendants who were the most favored by him were unwilling to obey his deathbed orders, I was afraid that he would be angry to death on the spot.
Liu Hong knew that his time was running out, but looking back on his life again, he still didn't feel that he was wrong.
Liu Hong is the great-great-grandson of Emperor Liu Wei of the Han Dynasty, and in his early years, he inherited the throne of Jiedu Pavilion, and after the death of Emperor Liu Zhi of the Han Dynasty, he was selected as the heir to the throne by his cousin Dou, and then succeeded to the throne as the eleventh emperor of the Eastern Han Dynasty.
Liu Hong did not receive an orthodox emperor education, and the purpose of his relatives to serve him as emperor was not pure, so he was just a puppet at the beginning.
For most of Liu Hong's reign, he was fighting for power with his relatives and families, and it was not until he used the appointment of eunuchs to balance the court that he finally had a little power in his hands, but at this time, the Han had already been corroded by a group of moths.
Liu Hong's pampering of eunuchs, selling officials, party bans, etc., are all natural means for him to save the Han, and he has made all the efforts he can make, but the situation is getting worse and worse.
"How fortunate God is to me, Liu Hong." Liu Hong lamented, and two lines of tears flowed from the corners of his eyes again.
Liu Hong thought of his heroic appearance when he was a teenager and was just enshrined as the emperor.
At that time, he excitedly ran to tell the most respected Wang Shi, and swore that he would definitely save the Han Dynasty and become a generation of Ming Jun.
What Wang Shi said at that time, Liu Hong will never forget for the rest of his life.
Wang Xu looked at Liu Hong kindly, and said softly: "Just do your best"
At that time, Liu Hong didn't understand, thinking that Wang Shi meant that as long as he tried his best, he would definitely become a generation of Ming Jun.
Now Liu Hong finally understands that his heart is higher than the sky and his life is thinner than paper, which is the best portrayal of his life.
"Master Wang, you already guessed that I would have today, right?" Liu Hong said to himself with tears in his eyes, still unwilling.
He obviously wanted to be a good emperor, but the more he tried, the worse the result became, and in the end he still became a notorious generation of dumb kings.
The matter has come to this point, no matter how unwilling Liu Hong is, he can no longer change, and now he can only take advantage of his consciousness to try to explain the future affairs clearly, so as to prevent the Han Dynasty from rioting again after his death.
"Go out, all of you, and let the Father stay, for I have something to say to you."
"No."
After the other nine permanent attendants withdrew, Liu Hong whispered in Zhang Rang's ear and said, "Father, the only person I can trust is you, I am going to die, and I want to leave something to you to do." ”
Zhang Rang was shocked in his heart, and hurriedly knelt down and screamed: "The old slave will never give up." ”
"Let Father, I have hidden the jade seal of the country in ......"
Zhang Rang was stunned by this news, and Liu Hong continued:
"Father, after my death, He Jin will definitely not follow the edict to establish Xie'er as the emperor, and then you can write for me, and secretly issue an edict to Qin Wen, Huangfu Song and Ding Yuan, and order him to enter Beijing to kill He Jin to assist Xie'er to ascend the throne."
Hearing this, Zhang Rang was horrified in his heart, but he didn't understand why Liu Hong was so obsessed with Liu Xie's succession, so he said with some hesitation: "Your Majesty, there is a sentence that the old slave doesn't know whether to say or not......
"Let my father want to say, if you are suitable to succeed to the throne, why don't you sin to death, right?"
"The old slave doesn't dare." Zhang Rang knelt down.
A soft light flashed in Liu Hong's eyes, and he sighed: "I don't know that Bian'er is the best candidate, but now that the Han Dynasty has princes on the outside, and He Jin is in power, even if Bian'er sits on the throne, he will only be a puppet."
On the other hand, Xie'er has been smart since he was a child, and with the assistance of Qin Wen's loyal ministers, he will definitely be able to sweep away the troubled times for my Han in the future. ”
Zhang Rang couldn't help but be stunned when he heard this, he didn't go as far as Liu Hong thought, but who gave you the confidence to think that Liu Xie could sweep away the troubled times?
"After my death, Dong Zhuo in Liangzhou will definitely make trouble, and with Qin Wen and the other three entering the court, it can also deter Dong Zhuo and make him dare not act rashly."
Hearing this, Zhang Rang couldn't help but admire this faint gentleman a little, he really thought about the Han Dynasty until he died, but it was a pity that he was born in the wrong era.
If it is really as Liu Hong expected, if the three loyal ministers of Qin Wen enter Beijing to assist Liu Xie and fight against Dong Zhuo, it is indeed possible for the Han Dynasty to get rid of the ills and end the troubled times.
But this is only possible, Qin Wen is not a loyal minister, and Zhang Rang will not do what Liu Hong said.
"The old slave obeys."
As he spoke, Zhang Rang put his palm on his heart under Liu Hong's puzzled gaze, and the next moment Liu Hong's pupils couldn't help shrinking.
Just when Liu Hong's consciousness was about to dissipate, he not only saw Zhang Rang's cold face, but also heard words that he couldn't understand.
"Your Majesty, let's go, pass on the jade seal of the country, my Qin family has taken it back." Zhang Rang sneered.
"You ......"
Liu Hong, a faint gentleman who wanted to be a Ming Jun, died in the hands of Zhang Rang in such a daze, he really didn't look at the right person until he died.
Looking at Liu Hong, who was staring at him, Zhang Rang wanted to close his eyes, but he didn't close them even a few times, so he could only let him earn his eyes.
Zhang Rang worked hard to brew his emotions, and then began his own performance.
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty......"
The howl soon alarmed everyone outside the dormitory, and after pushing the door in, they saw Zhang Rang lying on the dragon bed crying bitterly, and then everyone cried bitterly.
He Jin, who was rushing towards the dormitory, had just walked outside the gate of Weiyang Palace when he heard a sharp wail.
"Your Majesty has died."
