Chapter 33: The Succession of the Young Emperor

"Brother, I think you also know the reason why I summoned you to the palace."

"Does the queen want to intercede for the Ten Permanent Attendants? They tried to kill me. ”

He Jin was fully armored, his left hand did not leave the sword at his waist, and said murderously, even if it was the Empress of the Han Dynasty standing opposite, he did not change in the slightest.

"Brother, don't be impatient. Let's listen to my sister. ”

Saying that, Empress He came to He Jin's side, removed his left hand from the saber, and pulled him to sit down.

"Brother, I still remember the years when I first entered the palace, if it weren't for Zhang Rang and others to take care of me, how could our brothers and sisters have their current status."

Saying that, Queen He seemed to recall the situation at the time, and couldn't help but feel sad in her heart, and He Jin was also sighing.

He Jin was born as a butcher, although his sister was favored by Emperor Ling and entered the palace, but neither He Jin nor Empress He was having a hard time.

Back then, they had a lot of enemies, and the Ten Standing Servants and the others did not directly clash with them, and even had many common enemies, so they also stood in the same formation together.

"Now Zhang Rang's old slaves have expressed the reason to support my son as the emperor, and Jian Shuo was the only one who wanted to murder his brother before, and Zhang Rang and the others immediately stabbed Jian Shuo after learning the news. Jian Shuo was the only one who wanted to murder his brother before, and Zhang Rang and the others immediately stabbed Jian Shuo after learning the news. Why don't you let them go, just a few eunuchs, what can they do? ”

After listening to Empress He's words, He Jin finally calmed down.

"Since it was the queen's invitation, then I will follow you."

In the end, He Jin still promised Queen He to let Zhang Rang and the others go, and the two chatted for a while before leaving.

As soon as He Jin left, Zhang Rang and others, who were hiding aside and eavesdropping, immediately swarmed out and knelt down in front of Queen He, thanking Queen He for saving her life.

"You old slaves and keep to yourself, and my son will ascend the throne in the future, and your benefits will be indispensable."

"Yes, thank you, Queen."

After saying that, everyone thanked them again.

Although He Jin, who left the palace, agreed to Queen He, he was still resentful in his heart.

It's just that because he promised Queen He, he couldn't change his words, so he could only summon Yuan Shao and others to his mansion again.

"At this time, His Majesty is critically ill, and the general should first think about how to support the prince to succeed to the throne, so why should the ten permanent servants care? There are only a few eunuchs in the Ten Standing Guards, and only a few jailers are needed to take them down. ”

The first to speak was Cao Cao, who felt very ridiculous that He Jinlao had mobilized so many people to come.

The news that Emperor Ling is critically ill has spread, and without the protection of Emperor Ling, what is the difficulty in arresting the Ten Standing Attendants?

However, He Jin was very dissatisfied with Cao Cao's answer, and he thought that Cao Cao did not want to help him with advice.

"Heh, I forgot, after Meng De is a eunuch, he naturally doesn't want me to deal with the ten permanent servants."

"You..."

Hearing He Jin's words, Cao Cao was furious, although his grandfather Cao Teng was also a eunuch, but he was also the minister of the Western Han Dynasty, Cao Shen, and he became a eunuch just to accompany the prince to study, but he didn't expect He Jin to use this matter to squeeze himself.

Yuan Shao, who was on the side, was afraid that Cao Cao would say something that would anger the general, so he immediately pulled his sleeve.

"Hmph."

Cao Cao ignored Yuan Shao's obstruction, flicked his sleeves, and walked directly out of the door.

Seeing Cao Cao like this, He Jin laughed.

Hearing He Jin's laughter from afar, Cao Cao's mood gradually calmed down.

"The erector is not enough and the plan."

After saying that, Cao Cao strode away from He Mansion and never looked back.

At this time, a person stood up and said to He Jin: "Dong Zhongying has just completed the elimination of Zhang Chun's remnants recently, and now the commander of the 30,000 army is returning to Luoyang, why don't the generals summon Dong Zhuo into Beijing in the name of the Qing monarch, and he will kill the ten permanent servants." ”

He Jin also had a little impression of Dong Zhuo, when Dong Zhuo fought against the Yellow Turban, he was dismissed, and he also came to ask He Jin.

He Jin was very satisfied with this person's proposal, and he turned his head to ask Yuan Shao on the side.

The fourth generation and third duke of the Yuan family, Yuan Shao himself is dignified, and he likes Yangshi, and he has famous people such as sewing discipline and trial, and He Jin is very fond of him.

Hearing He Jin's inquiry, Yuan Shao thought for a while and thought that the plan was feasible.

However, not long after He Jin sent the edict to Dong Zhuo, Emperor Ling died.

In front of the Spirit Emperor Ling, He Jin listened to Yuan Shao's words of being strong first, and directly draped the yellow robe on the body of the prince on the side when the funeral was held.

Declare the proclamation of the crown prince as the emperor.

Above the mourning hall, hundreds of civil and military officials whispered, but no one dared to make a comment, because there were countless soldiers in full armor standing around, obviously He Jin came prepared this time.

Seeing that no one objected, He Jin knelt down with hundreds of officials and shouted long live.

When did the young Liu Bian see such a battle, he was nervous and couldn't speak.

Liu Xie, who was only seven years old on the side, immediately reminded Liu Wei in a low voice to say that he would be free from courtesy.

Liu Bian succeeded to the throne as the new emperor of the Han Dynasty, which was later known as the Young Emperor.

The young emperor was too young to handle state affairs, so his biological mother, Empress Dowager He, and Empress Dowager Dong listened to the government together.

At this time, as the uncle of the country, He Jin had already leaned towards the government and the opposition, and he not only crowned his younger brother as the general of the chariot cavalry, but also canonized the He family, and the power leaned towards the government and the opposition for a while.

And as He Jin's power grew, the Ten Permanent Servants became more and more uneasy.

They knew that He Jin's next target was themselves, so they began to think about how to deal with He Jin.

In fact, there is a trump card in the hands of the ten permanent servants, which is the edict of the Spirit Emperor.

When Emperor Ling was seriously ill, he once wrote an edict and made the prince the crown prince.

But because of He Jin's great momentum, the Ten Standing Servants and others did not dare to make the edict public, so they could only hide it silently, preparing to use him as a hole card.

At this time, Dong Zhuo had already come to Hedong County, and he received a total of two edicts before and after.

One of them is naturally He Jin's edict summoning him to Beijing.

The other is an edict from He Jin that after Liu Ban ascended the throne, he asked him to go back and merge with the state.

Because of his meritorious crusade against Zhang Chun, Dong Zhuo was named the pastor of the state.

"Wenyou, what do you think about this?"

Wen You is Li Ru's character, and he is also Dong Zhuo's chief strategist.

"As far as I can see, there will be a big chaos in Luoyang, why don't you send troops to Hedong County to observe the situation in Luoyang."

"What Wen You said is very much in line with me, but just stationing troops here is not a good plan. The great Confucian Cai Yong and I knew each other, and I wrote a letter to him. ”

After speaking, Dong Zhuo asked people to bring paper and pen and began to write letters.

In Luoyang, the Ten Standing Servants and others began to gather the soldiers and horses, preparing to use this to fight against He Jin.

By the time the situation in Luoyang was sent to Qin Hua's side, he was still fighting against the Xianbei people on the prairie at this time.

Qin Hua's army is strong, and there are ways to restrain the cavalry, and the Qiang cavalry is not weak, so in the previous wars, Qin Hua has defeated the main force of Xianbei.

Now that the Xianbei army is scattered, Qin Hua can only break them one by one.

After learning of the great change in Luoyang, Qin Hua was even more impatient to continue to consume the Xianbei people, so he sent all his troops out, leaving less than 2,000 guards in the camp.

Qin Hua's original goal was to rescue Dong Zhuo in the mountains, so as to enhance his reputation.

At the very least, he had to participate in the war against Dong Zhuo, no matter which one was a good opportunity for Qin Hua to increase his reputation.

If you want to gain an advantage in future wars of princes, prestige is very important.

This is best reflected in Liu Bei, who has nothing but fame, but he can maneuver between several major forces until the establishment of the Shu Han regime.
