When Chen Cheng and Yan Zhong said in unison, "Jian Shuo is going to kill He Jin", the two of them had different thoughts. Yan Zhong didn't expect the eunuch to be so decisive and start so quickly, but as long as he killed He Jin, no matter who killed him. The eunuchs are better at acting, and when the time comes, they can gather the general's old department and kill it backhanded.

And Chen Cheng thought that he had no choice but to do what Yan Zhong said before, and first try his best to defeat the powerful families under the command of the general. Thinking that he couldn't catch all the eunuchs in the Jiade Hall behind him, he felt a little regretful. But it's hard to say, what if Jian Shuo misses? Sometimes, success or defeat is a matter of seconds, and you need to be patient.

Yan Zhong said in a low voice: "Prince, discuss the aftermath with Zhongshu Ling and Da Changqiu as soon as possible. ”

Chen Cheng glanced at him and said, "Don't worry, wait first." ”

"What are you waiting for?"

"I'll talk about it when the news is confirmed."

Yan Zhong stopped talking, and the two of them stood at the door of the Jiade Hall, looking at the sky in the distance.

Not long after, the sound of swords and screams came from the direction of Maolongyuan, and then hundreds of people shouted together: "The general is dead!" ”

Yan Zhong's tense nerves finally relaxed, and he said lightly: "Junhou, it's no further ado!" ”

Chen Cheng nodded, turned around and walked a few steps, crossed the threshold, and entered the Jiade Hall. On the brocade collapse, Liu Hong was already angry. Zhang Rang heard the sound outside, listened attentively for a while, and then said to the imperial doctor who had been wiping his sweat on the side: "Give your majesty medicine!" ”

The imperial doctor looked at the Empress Dowager Dong sitting next to the Son of Heaven, lowered his head and asked, "Empress Dowager, what do you see?" ”

Empress Dowager Dong has been here with Dong Hou Liu Xie for a while, and she has been crying. She is such a son, and now that the white-haired person sends the black-haired person, she has long been heartbroken, but she is not an ordinary person after all, she has seen a lot of bloody wind and rain in the palace, and her heart is much harder than ordinary people.

She stood up, got out of the way, wiped her tears, and said, "Take medicine." ”

The imperial physician poured a bowl of the medicine that had been fried on the stove, then broke open the teeth of the Son of Heaven and poured it down. After the soup was poured down, a small part gushed out of Liu Hong's mouth, dyeing the silk on his body a dim yellow color. But at this time, no one had the heart to pay attention to these, but focused on the face of the Son of Heaven.

Chen Cheng also waited for a while, but the Son of Heaven never opened his eyes. Zhang Rang turned around suddenly, kicked the imperial doctor, and said angrily: "Why hasn't the Son of Heaven woken up yet?" You quack, I'll kill you! ”

The imperial doctor was kicked to the ground, but he didn't dare to get up, he lay on the ground and said in a trembling voice: "Individual physique is different, the amount of medicine needed and the length of time are also different, Your Majesty is already weak......."

On the brocade, Liu Hong let out a long moan and opened his eyes. Seeing his mother, Empress Dowager Dong, and his son Liu Xie, he said softly: "Why are you here?" ”

Zhang Rang was overjoyed when he heard this, threw himself on his knees on the ground, and howled: "Your Majesty, you can be regarded as awake!" ”

Liu Hong moved, saw that it was Zhang Rang, and said, "What are you doing kneeling?" ”

He looked up and saw a room full of armor soldiers and palace maids, and suddenly understood in his heart, and said with a wry smile: "It seems that the time has come!" ”

Zhang Rang, Zhao Zhong and others didn't dare to speak, Empress Dowager Dong continued to teardrop, only Liu Xie walked over and shouted, "Father!" ”

Liu Hong showed a smile on his face and said, "Dong Hou is like me, but he can succeed the unification." ”

Zhang Rang and Zhao Zhong glanced at each other and said loudly: "Obey the order, and serve Dong Hou as the Son of Heaven!" ”

Although Liu Xie was only eight years old, he already understood many things, and he cried and shouted: "Father, I don't want to be an emperor, I want you to get better!" ”

Liu Hong didn't know where the strength came from, so he reached out and touched Liu Xie's head, and said with a smile: "Idiot, idiot, how can there be an immortal emperor in this world?" ”

He asked, "Where is the general?" ”

Zhang Rang lowered his head and said, "I have been killed by Jian Shuo." ”

Liu Hong was unmoved when he heard this, and said calmly: "Forget it if he dies, the rest of the He family will let them go." ”

Zhang Rang whispered: "Yes." ”

Liu Hong said to Liu Xie again: "Be kind to my brother, and ......... Be a good emperor, don't be like me. ”

Liu Xie sobbed and said, "Got it, father." ”

Liu Hong looked left and right again, and said, "Julu Hou is coming. ”

Chen Cheng walked over, Liu Hong sighed, and said: "Chen Qing tasted and longed for the champion Hou, but the champion Hou was born in a young age, and I wish Qing to be the Marquis of Changping." ”

He said to Zhang: "Proposed purpose: worship Julu Marquis Chen Cheng as a hussar general, and worship Dong Zhong as a general." ”

Zhang Rang summoned the little yellow door, personally drafted the edict, and then used the seal.

Liu Hong breathed a sigh of relief, and said to the Empress Dowager Dong: "Mother, the child is not filial, and I can't give you a pension to the end." ”

Empress Dowager Dong burst into tears and said, "Wronged, wronged!" ”

Liu Hong also shed tears, he choked up and said to Zhang: "Zhongshu Ling go out to announce the edict,"

Zhang Rang kowtowed, walked out of the Jiade Hall with the holy decree, stood still under the eaves, and read it out loud: "The summer and April ............... of the sixth year of Zhongping"

After the decree was recited, the soldiers on and off the steps shouted long live. Just when the palace was shaken, there was a sudden cry from inside the Garter Hall, and hundreds of people knelt on the ground, crying bitterly.

Chen Cheng crossed the threshold, walked out, and said to Zhang, "Your Majesty has gone." ”

Zhang Rang's movements froze, and his waist, which had just straightened up, suddenly bent down, as if his spirit and spirit had been drained, he sighed and said, "Your Majesty! ”

For Zhang Rang, the emperor is not only his emotional sustenance, but also the source of his power. He can be powerful, clothed and fed, and able to respond to every call, all by relying on the trust of the Son of Heaven, but now that the Son of Heaven is dead, how should he deal with himself?

The two stood at the door for a while, Zhang Rang arched his hand at Chen Cheng, and said, "Please ask the hussar general to restrain the soldiers, arrange defense, and the old slave will go to see Your Majesty off again." ”

Chen Cheng nodded and said, "I know." ”

He didn't have any sentimental feelings, perhaps out of nature......... He thought about it for a while and immediately denied this conclusion, which should be caused by the acquired environment.......... He doesn't feel much about human death. Unless it's like the Jingguan he saw before, it will shock him for a while.

He doesn't even care about his own life and death, so how can he care about others? Although Liu Hong is the Son of Heaven, he is only a person in the final analysis. The Son of Heaven was kind to him, and he accepted it calmly when his title and official position were smashed, because he was not moved by these external objects, and he was confident that he could give the Son of Heaven a corresponding return.

It should have been like this, but the words of the Son of Heaven before he died made his mood not so calm.

“.......... May Qing be the Marquis of Changping", and for a while Chen Cheng didn't understand whether this was the emperor's true feelings before his death, or whether he wanted to win people's hearts with it. Or is it both?

The champion Hou of course refers to the hussar general Huo Quai, and the Changping Hou refers to the general Wei Qing. Let him be the Marquis of Changping...... What is the name of the Son of Heaven's sister? Ahh Wait, if the Son of Heaven refers to Liu Xie, he does have a sister, who is Liu Qian, the princess of Wannian........

Phew, Liu Qian is only ten years old, even if he is a princess, he can't be interested, he doesn't want to get married at all, okay?

After spending a minute of silence for the Son of Heaven, Chen Cheng immediately began to think about the current situation again. As soon as He Jin died, the forces on the general's side would be considered to be at the end of the road, as long as they waited until dawn, and then in the name of the edict of the Son of Heaven, they would either kill or expel those in the court.

Maybe there will be some repetition, and the scholars will not be reconciled, and maybe they will raise the flag of rebellion in the locality, but so what? It's just a matter of killing more people. The Han family has never been afraid of bloodshed, and Huangfu Song slaughtered hundreds of thousands of Yellow Turban soldiers, but from the court to the locality, from the eunuchs to the scholars, few people have ever said that it is wrong to slaughter prisoners.

Then, it is not a big deal to kill some powerful families to sacrifice to the sky next. When the scholars mentioned the scourge of the party, they gritted their teeth, but that was only a few thousand people killed. But even if the number of people killed in the rebellion of the party is multiplied by ten times, how can it compare to the people killed by Huangfu Song once?

In the Jiade Palace, Zhang Rang commanded the eunuchs and palace maids to arrange the mourning hall, and white cloths were hung everywhere, and Liu Xie and Empress Dowager Dong were also tied with white cloth strips. Chen Cheng asked people to fetch some white cloths, dismantled them, and let the soldiers tie them all to their left arms.

When he was busy working, Jian Shuo led people from Changhua Gate, and when he saw the situation of white sails everywhere here, he was stunned, and then immediately fell into shock and panic. He took two steps forward and was about to rush into the Garter Hall. Jian Shuo was shocked, and Chen Cheng was even more shocked than him.

You killed the general He Jin, and if you didn't rush to control the Xiyuan Army, what kind of trouble were you going to make when you ran back?

He stretched out his hand to stop Jian Shuo and said, "What are you doing here.........

Jian Shuo threw a punch at him, and said angrily: "You dare to stop me? ”

Chen Cheng grabbed Jian Shuo's fist, pulled it back, and tripped under his feet, and Jian Shuo fell to the ground. Jian Shuo, the captain of the military academy, did not come alone, and there were hundreds of soldiers of the Xiyuan Army who came with him. Seeing that the marshal had been knocked down, these men immediately drew their blades and were about to rush forward.

The soldiers of the Yue Cavalry Battalion on the side also drew their blades, Chen Cheng stepped on Jian Shuo, and shouted, "Do you want to rebel?" ”

His voice was loud enough for half of the palace to hear his shouts. Chen Cheng's voice was louder, his breath was more sufficient, and he stopped drinking, and many of the soldiers of the Xiyuan Army on the opposite side felt dizzy, and they rioted for a while, and when there was no order from the official, they didn't dare to mess around in the Jiade Hall after all, so they all looked at Chen Cheng angrily.

Jian Shuo was trampled under Chen Cheng's feet, struggled incessantly, and scolded in his mouth: "Shaft, dare to be so rude!" I'm going to kill you! ”

Chen Cheng couldn't stand it, so he picked him up and slapped him back and forth four times before the latter sobered up.

"Papapapa", the four loud slaps were not only on Jian Shuo's face, but also on the faces of all the soldiers of the Xiyuan Army below. Jian Shuo's face was flushed, tears flowed from his eyes, and he said with tears in his eyes: "Your Majesty! ”

"You're sober!" Chen Cheng scolded: "When did you still come to this set? Wait for the Son of Heaven to be buried, and then cry! ”

Jian Shuo glared at him, "What do you know? People like you, who will never be loyal to anyone, where will you understand? ”

He fell prostrate on the ground and wept bitterly in the direction of the Garter Hall.

Made, what's wrong with people like me?

"Don't cry!" Chen Cheng held back his anger and said, "You came here, what should I do with the Xiyuan Army?" His Majesty's edict ordered Dong Hou to inherit the unification, if you don't hold the military power in your hands, do you want to throw it to Yuan Shao and Cao Cao? ”

Jian Shuo stood up at this time, wiped the tears on his face, and said: "With the general here, those people in the Xiyuan Army will not listen to me at all, what is the difference between going and not going?" ”

Chen Cheng had a suspicious look on his face, but before he could speak, Yan Zhong on the side had already exclaimed, "What? He Jin is not dead? ”
