"But how?" Zhao Zhong asked, "The new monarch ascends the throne, and it still needs to be decided by the Empress Dowager Dong, she loves Prince Xie very much, and she will definitely not agree to let Prince Wei succeed to the throne." ”

"Then you don't need Empress Dowager Dong's consent." Zhang Rang smiled a little sadly. "As long as we wait for the seal and crown to put on the prince, and then let him sit directly on the palace and accept the courtiers to pay homage.

As long as the status of this monarch and minister is determined, even if the Empress Dowager Dong wants to oppose it, those ministers will not agree. ”

After Zhang Rang finished speaking, he turned to look at the bed behind him. Lying there was the dead Emperor Ling, and around his waist was the seal representing the authority of the Son of Heaven, as well as the jade seal that had been passed down from generation to generation.

Zhang Rang walked over, his face was no longer respectful and obedient, and in his eyes he was just a dead man.

He untied the seal and the jade seal of the country, and said to everyone: "Let's go and find the prince of debate." ”

In the main hall, those courtiers who opposed He Jin did not flinch in the slightest because of He Jin's intimidation, but argued more fiercely with He Jin and his henchmen.

Standing in line is an extremely serious matter, or you don't choose, once you choose a side, you will be labeled, and you can't pick it off if you want to.

Those ministers who supported Liu Xie have been identified as Liu Xie's people, even if they give up at this moment, they will still be liquidated in the end, so they will simply fight He Jin to the end.

He Jin is also in a dilemma now, it is impossible for him to take all these courtiers away in front of everyone, which will definitely make his relatives betray.

But if they continue to make trouble like this, and if the time really comes to let the Empress Dowager Dong come over to adjudicate, then the nephew will definitely have no chance, and he will say goodbye to Ronghua and Fugui in his life.

"The new monarch is in the court, and the ministers are bowing down!" A loud cry echoed through the main hall.

The ministers looked towards the door of the main hall, and saw Liu Wei, who was cramped and restless, wearing a crown robe and a seal around his waist, surrounded by Zhang Rang and other eunuchs, and walked into the hall. He Jin looked at this scene and felt angry in his heart.

After the death of the first emperor, these eunuchs had no power and powerless, and they could just be eliminated by themselves in order to win the support of the people of the world. But I didn't expect that these eunuchs dared to beat their nephews in order to survive, which is simply a crime that deserves death!

At this time, standing next to He Jin, a man who was more than eight feet tall and had an extraordinary appearance leaned into his ear and whispered, "General, now is a good time." The new monarch ascended the throne, and he did not hurry to bow and worship. ”

"Originally, why did you say that?" He Jin was puzzled.

The great man is Yuan Shao, who was recruited from his family by He Jin as an official during the Yellow Turban Rebellion.

"General, the top priority now is to determine the status of the monarch and the minister, as long as the new monarch accepts the worship of the minister, then even if the Empress Dowager Dong opposes it, it will be useless."

He Jin suddenly woke up, yes, don't worry about those eunuchs first, as long as the name of the nephew is determined first, if you want to kill these eunuchs at that time, it will only be a matter of the emperor's dictation.

After Liu Wei sat on the throne, He Jin took the lead and said: "Long live my emperor, long live, long live!" ”

Then Yuan Shao, and then all the ministers who supported Liu Wei knelt down and shouted long live.

And the other ministers who supported Liu Xie were at a loss at the moment and panicked, they didn't expect that the eunuch would actually help He Jin and come to a prelude.

Seeing that they could not do anything, some ministers also knelt down and paid homage to the new king. As a result, a few stubborn ministers remained, still standing in place, motionless.

Seeing this scene, He Jin was even more powerful than he had just shown, and a cruel smile appeared on his face: "Don't worship the new monarch, it seems that you really want to be a chaotic minister and thief, please punish Your Majesty!" ”

Liu Wei, who is cowardly by nature, is facing so many people for the first time, and he can't make up his mind in a panic. Zhang Rang next to him reminded him in a timely manner: "Your Majesty just needs to say that it is all up to the general." ”

Liu Wei suddenly seemed to have an idea, and when he saw his uncle, he was a lot more relieved: "It's all up to the general." ”

Zhang Rang regarded this as a gesture of goodwill to He Jin, but He Jin saw that Zhang Rang was so close to the emperor's nephew, and he was resentful in his heart, and made up his mind that he must get rid of the eunuchs.

"Obey." Then He Jin turned around and shouted, "Come on, remove these rebellious ministers and thieves from their official positions and put them in the court lieutenant prison!" ”

Seeing that these opposing ministers either accepted the reality or were taken away, He Jin suddenly had a feeling of power.

At the court meeting the next day, Liu Weifeng's biological mother Empress He was the empress dowager, and his brother Liu Xie was the king of Chen Liu, and then let the general He Jin and the prince Yuan Kui record the same Shangshu affairs, and finally granted amnesty to the world.

When the news reached Dong Zhuo, he happened to be in Hedong County, where he had served.

There was a scholar standing beside him, and although he looked good-looking, he always gave people a sense of viciousness.

This scholar's name was Li Ru. He was Dong Zhuo's staff when he first arrived in Hedong.

"My lord, the first emperor collapsed early, the new monarch is young, there may be an incident in the Luoyang Palace, we might as well not go to the state first, and wait and see what happens." After Li Ru knew the news, he suggested to Dong Zhuo.

Dong Zhuo nodded, if this is the case, he may be able to fish in troubled waters. "Okay, we'll wait and see what happens."

The news reached Liaodong, and Zhang Hao immediately ordered to step up the training of soldiers when he knew about it, Emperor Ling died three years ahead of schedule, and he had to start preparing.

……

In the palace, He Jin held a family banquet with the Empress Dowager He and his younger brother He Miao to celebrate the dignitaries of the He family.

"Hahaha, now that His Majesty has succeeded to the throne, the Queen Mother is in charge of the dynasty, and now if my He clan talks about power, even if it is compared with those scholars who have been inherited for a long time, it is also more than that, and it is the first family in the world." He Jin smiled unscrupulously.

The He family was already poor, He Jin was still a butcher before, relying on his sister to enter the palace and now his nephew has become the Son of Heaven, and he has really become prominent, as the mother of the Son of Heaven, the He family has been in the world for less than ten years. So He Jin still can't change his previous habits in normal times.

"Big brother is right, even the Yuan family can't compare to us." He Miao said to the side.

He Jin struck while the iron was hot and said to his sister: "Queen Mother, now there is only one obstacle left, as long as we get rid of the eunuchs again, then the world of the Han family will not be up to us." ”

This kind of thing is extremely tempting for relatives in power. In the past, the Lu family wanted to use the power of the Empress Lu to usurp the world of the Liu family, and then there was the Wang family and Wang Mang who successfully established a new dynasty.

Such a temptation is simply irresistible to He Jin. It's just that of the three people present, he is the only one who has this idea.

Empress Dowager He first poured cold water on him: "Brother's idea is too dangerous, someone must have instigated you, with this palace's understanding of you, it shouldn't be possible to think of such a thing."

Have you ever thought about the lessons of the Lu and Wang families, and now my He family is also standing in the same position as them, if I do the same thing as them, my He family will also be destroyed.

Since my brother said that my He family is already the number one family in the world, and we have already dominated the world, why not be satisfied with the current status? ”

The younger brother He Miao also helped the Empress Dowager He: "Brother, what the Empress Dowager said is right, speaking of which, ten years ago, our family was just a small family, how dare you think that we have today's power, and now it is very good." Eunuchs or anything are things that those ministers worry about, so let's leave them alone. ”

He Jin was stunned, how could these two of his relatives still help outsiders speak, and this outsider is still a eunuch.

"What did you say!" He Jin yelled at his younger brother He Miao. My sister is now the queen mother, and I can't be rude, but it's okay for my younger brother to teach him a lesson.

"I want to ask the eldest brother not to embarrass the eunuchs in the palace anymore, how can I say that they are also kind to our He family."

He Jin was puzzled: "You make it clear, why are those eunuchs kind to us?" ”

"Big brother doesn't know, this is what Zhang Rang told me." He Miao said with a smile, "Actually, that night, the will of the Empress Dowager Dong had been made, and she wanted to set up Liu Xie to succeed her."

It's just that the little eunuch who passed the decree was Zhang Rang's confidant, and he didn't pass the decree to the courtiers, but gave it directly to Zhang Rang. This is so that His Majesty can ascend the throne and succeed to the throne, otherwise how can I have the wealth of my He family now. So big brother, we can't be ungrateful. ”

He Miao's words shocked He Jin, but also made him a little confused.

I want to kill the eunuch in order to gain fame in the world, and now the eunuch is kind to himself, and has played an important role in the succession of the emperor's nephew.

With such confusion, He Jin returned to his mansion.

When Yuan Shao saw He Jin coming back from the palace, he asked eagerly: "General, what did the Queen Mother say?" ”

He Jin replied: "The Queen Mother does not agree to kill the eunuchs. ”

"Why, eunuchs are disgusted by all the world's corporals, doesn't the Queen Mother know this truth?" Yuan Shao was surprised, "Didn't the general explain the benefits to the Queen Mother?" ”

"Of course I said it, but the Queen Mother is content with the status quo and doesn't want to cause trouble."

Yuan Shao's face was embarrassed: "This is a little difficult to do, I originally thought that the first emperor died and the eunuchs had no support, but now with the queen mother as a backer, they can save their lives." ”

He Jin was also helpless: "The Queen Mother didn't help my brother, but actually helped those eunuchs, it's really ...... Alas~"

"If these eunuchs are not removed as soon as possible, they will eventually become a disaster again." Yuan Shao persuaded He Jin. "General, you think, if you are young today, one day you will grow up to be an adult and lead the government in person.

Now these eunuchs are dormant because of the death of the first emperor, but as they get along with the Son of Heaven for a long time, when the Son of Heaven is in power, they can make a comeback again, and where will there be your status as a general at that time. ”

He Jin was shocked, Yuan Shao's words didn't seem like alarmism, if it really came to that time, wouldn't the He family become mediocre again.

Such a future is really difficult for He Jin, who has already enjoyed the taste of power, to accept. "How's that good?"
