Cheng Kuang and Xia Yun were also anxious to clear up, saying that they didn't know. He Jin naturally would not let go of this great opportunity to beat the water dog, and said anxiously: "Your Majesty! This matter can be described as a loss of conscience, there is a loss of people, if it spreads, I am afraid that the sky will be angry and resentful!! Please also ask Your Majesty to enforce the law impartially and give justice to the people of the world!! ”

As soon as He Jin's voice fell, Cao Cao and Yuan Shu bowed in unison: "I implore Your Majesty to give justice to the people of the world!" ”

The cheers rippled throughout the hall, and for a while, Zhao Zhong, Cheng Kuang, Xia Yun and others didn't dare to open their mouths anymore. Everyone's eyes were focused on Liu Hong. Liu Hong's body trembled constantly, his face was ugly as a dead man, and he shouted angrily: "Come on~~!! Cheng Kuang, Xia Yun and Shi Ana's thief were immediately put into the prison and awaiting sentencing!! ”

As soon as Liu Hong said this, Cheng Kuang and Xia Yun were so frightened that they cried and begged for mercy on the spot, but Shi A laughed loudly and was not afraid. The guards who were already waiting next to them ignored them and escorted Shi A, Cheng Kuang, and Xia Yun away one by one.

Zhao Zhong, who was kneeling in front, listened to the hissing voices of Cheng Kuang and Xia Yun, trembling even more, and his teeth kept chattering. As for Zhang Rang, at this time, he was still silent.

"Your Majesty, this Zhang and Zhao!" He Jin saw that Liu Hong had not dealt with Zhang Rang and Zhao Zhong, so he refused to stop there, and before he finished speaking, Liu Hong suddenly stood up and interrupted angrily: "Enough!" I have my own measure in this matter, you all step down, and I will interrogate and understand!! ”

He Jin saw that Liu Hong was really angry, and he didn't dare to offend, so he bowed his head and promised. So, after the crowd knelt down, they came out one after another. After a while, there were only Liu Hong, Zhang Rang, and Zhao Zhong in the palace.

Suddenly, with a crisp sound, Liu Hong suddenly pulled out a golden dragon sword hanging on the wall, came to Zhang Rang angrily, and slashed with his sword. Seeing this, Zhao Zhong hurriedly shouted: "Your Majesty, don't do it!" ”

The golden dragon sword suddenly stopped on Zhang Rang's head. Liu Hong's eyes were red, his expression was excited, and he asked angrily: "Zhang Rang, I regard you as a father, even if the Manchu Dynasty is civil and military, and repeatedly plays to take your life, I still miss the old love and favor you in every way!" Why do you treat me like this!? ”

Liu Hong shouted with all his might, and finally made Zhang Rang tremble, and as soon as he raised his head, he was already in tears, and choked up: "It is difficult for a slave to repay His Majesty's kindness when he dies, and he is willing to die!" I just hope that Your Majesty will take care of the dragon's body, and don't be angry with the cheap life of the slave! ”

When Liu Hong saw it, tears shook in his eyes, and he shouted bitterly: "You are already extremely rich, why do you still pursue the art of immortality!?" ”

Zhang Rang was obedient, but he didn't answer, and the knock was loud. Liu Hong was distressed and shouted, "Say it quickly!" ”

Liu Hong yelled again, or was angry, and then coughed bitterly. Zhang Rang stopped at this time and said busily: "Your Majesty is angry, the old slave deserves death, Your Majesty is not worth making such a big fuss!" ”

"You!! You old slave~~!! Liu Hong coughed for a while, and when he saw that Zhang Ren still refused to speak, he was even more angry. Zhang Rang was afraid that Liu Hong would be angry and hurt his body again, so he hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, don't be angry, the old slave said, the old slave said!" His Majesty has been weak since he was a child, and the old slave has served for many years, how can he not know? In the early years, His Majesty was greedy for wine, and the old slave persuaded him uselessly, and he was worried, so he could only try his best to find some techniques to strengthen his body. Later, I heard that there was a group of Taoists who knew the art of alchemy in the Xuande Taoist Temple outside Luoyang City, and the old slave personally visited him, only to know that the master of the Taoist Temple was named Liu He, who was the chief disciple of Xu Fu, the alchemist of the Qin Shi Huang Yingzheng Emperor. At that time, the old slave saw that he was talking extraordinary, but he really had a bit of immortal style, and he heard that he had the art of immortality, and he was fascinated for a while, so he believed his nonsense. For many years, the elixir has not been practiced, but it is a sin. The old slave should die, the old slave should die! Zhang Rangsheng burst into tears, and said it with great emotion, and he didn't know if it was true or not.

Zhao Zhong next to him listened to it and said busily: "My two brothers also had doubts, but seeing that His Majesty's body is not as good as day by day, and since he has been seriously ill in recent years, all the imperial doctors are helpless, so they can only hope in this elixir, even if they hear that they want to use living people to make alchemy, they can only let it go." ”

When Liu Hong heard what Zhang and Zhao said, he closed his eyes painfully and just shook his head.

Zhang Rang sobbed in a low voice, grabbed Liu Hong's hand, and choked up: "It's not a pity for the old slave to die, I'm afraid that now the miscellaneous brothers are dying one by one, and there is no one around His Majesty, so how can the butcher brothers and sisters control the power in the palace, and he will coerce His Majesty to establish the prince as the crown prince, so that no one will support the prince's association, and His Majesty's dragon body is getting weaker and weaker, how can he control the overall situation." In addition, Queen He has always been ruthless, and Wang Meiren still has it back then!! ”

"Enough!" Zhang Rang's words seemed to remind Liu Hong of the unbearable past, and suddenly opened his eyes, and his eyes exuded a bit of resentment. Queen He was jealous, and when He Jin was not yet in power, she dared to poison those concubines who were favored by Liu Hong. And as Zhang Rang said, now the death of the ten permanent servants and the imprisonment of those who are in prison have lost most of them overnight. If Zhang and Zhao are executed again, with the current power of the He sisters, the court and society will definitely be in chaos in the future, and it will not be their two brothers and sisters who cover the sky with one hand!?

What's more, if the He sisters come and do nothing and eradicate the prince's association, maybe they will force the palace and let the prince argue on the throne of God!

The more Liu Hong thought about it, the more frightened he became, and his face changed. Zhang Rang and Zhao Zhong looked at each other secretly, not knowing what Liu Hong's final decision would be?

At this moment, Liu Hong suddenly shouted: "Zhao Zhong! ”

"The old slave is here!!" When Zhao Zhong heard this, he hurriedly turned his head to answer, but as soon as he heard the words, he saw a cold light and slashed over. Zhao Zhong's color changed suddenly, but he didn't even have time to scream, and his head was split by Liu Hong's sword. It's not that Liu Hong's strength is amazing, but the golden dragon sword in his hand is a peerless sword that sharpens iron like clay.

The hot blood was sprinkling, Zhang Rang was stunned, and his eyes became empty for a while. After Liu Hong killed Zhao Zhong, after all, the master and servant, Zhao Zhong has been loyal all these years, and he seemed to be unbearable, turned around, did not look at Zhao Zhong's death, and said coldly: "As the butcher He said, what you have done has lost people, such as today, the people are dissatisfied with the Han family and me, and they are the eunuchs of the Han family." You and the head of Zhao Zhong's eunuch party are known to the world. If you and Zhao Zhong can't execute one of them this time, not to mention that He Butcher and those people are unwilling to give up, I'm afraid that those ambitious people will take advantage of this to play again, make a big fuss, and gather people to rebel. Zhao Zhong, I have to kill. ”

At this time, Zhang Rang trembled all over, cried so much that he had become a tearful man, kneeling on the ground, and only promised.

And so the night passed. The next day, He Jin led a cadre of civil and military officers into the palace to face the saint, which can be described as menacing, and they all wanted to impeach the ten permanent servants headed by Zhang and Zhao. Who knows, Liu Hong has already prepared, as soon as everyone arrived at the main palace Mingde Hall, they saw a few pieces covered with white cloth, there were blood Linlin's heads, and it was Zhao Zhong in the middle, and the other two were Cheng Kuang and Xia Yun.

When He Jin and the others saw it, they were shocked, and after coming back to their senses for a while, they found that Liu Hong was sitting on the dragon chair, and quickly knelt down and bowed in unison: "Long live my emperor, long live, long live, long live~!! ”

Liu Hong's complexion seems to be a lot better, with a little blood, in fact, if you take a closer look, you will know that his face is painted with red color, and now his expression is cold, quite majestic, looking down on the ministers, and said coldly: "Zhao Zhong was deceived by demons, privately practiced elixir in the palace, and killed innocent people, the crime is unforgivable, I have personally executed, and then Hou Lan, Guo Sheng, Cao Jie and others have also been ambushed, Cheng Kuang and Xia Yun are the same party, and I have also eliminated them." In addition, Xiaohuangmen Jianshuo was corrupt and perverted the law, forcibly collected taxes, and connived at his subordinates to oppress the people in order to collect filial piety money. Now that the traitorous party has been eliminated one by one, and the dynasty is still clear, the world is the time when all kinds of waste are thriving, and I hope you Aiqing will work hard! ”

"The ministers will never live up to His Majesty's high expectations~!!" When He Jin and the others heard this, they were all overjoyed, and now seven of the ten permanent servants have been removed, and the only three people left are Zhang Rang, Feng Zhen and Duan Qi, which is not enough to mention the current powerful faction of relatives headed by He Jin.

What's more, Liu Hong's favor for Zhang and Zhao has reached an incredible level. He Jin thought that it would take a lot of effort to eradicate one of the two.

But said that He Jin is also like a mirror, Liu Hong has always been wary of him and Queen He, and it is impossible for his relatives to dominate, so the best situation is to get rid of one person in Zhang and Zhaozhong, and it is impossible to get rid of both of them. In addition, Liu Hong's life is not long, the position of the crown prince has been undecided, and now the palace is in a sensitive period, Liu Hongken's execution of Zhao Zhong can be said to be the biggest concession.

"Hmph, the eunuch party has been hit hard this time, and I want Zhang to let that old eunuch not be able to set off any strong winds and waves, as long as he waits for the prince to become the prince of the East Palace, it is not too late to get rid of the eunuch party!!" He Jin's heart was full of joy, and his eyes were shaking with bursts of essence. Behind him, all the civil and military people hated the eunuchs, and now they were all happy.

Liu Hong saw it in his eyes, thinking of these so-called courtiers, now they all have ghosts in their hearts, and there are few loyal and righteous people, so he only felt desolate in his heart, and said coldly: "As for all the meritorious people, I have already made up a copy one by one, and I will be rewarded in the Mingde Hall tomorrow!" ”

Liu Hong said that, he didn't dare to retreat, suddenly got up, was supported by Zhang Rang next to him, and retreated into the apse. Feng Yu immediately picked up the edict and read it out.

Among them, He Jin and Yuan Shao have meritorious service, and He Jin is loyal and brave, rewarded with a thousand taels of gold and three pairs of treasure armor. Yuan Shao was sent to the division of the lieutenant general, and was rewarded with 800 taels of gold. Yuan Shu and Cao Cao made meritorious contributions to eliminating thieves and quelling chaos, and they were also promoted to the position of Zhonglang general, and were rewarded with 600 taels of gold. Ma Zongheng is brave and unparalleled, ordered by the emperor to enter the tiger's den alone, cut down the treacherous evil, loyal and commendable, moved to the captain of the tiger, rewarded three hundred taels of gold, and guarded the east gate of Luoyang from now on.

He Jin and the others were overjoyed when they heard it, and after thanking them in unison, they retreated. However, it was said that Liu Hong transferred to the apse, but there were already two people waiting, namely Shangshuling Yang Biao and Situ Wang Yun.

The two saw Liu Hong, and they were busy kneeling to see each other. Liu Hong waved his hand lightly, said that he was not polite, and then walked in front of the two, with a little tiredness and vicissitudes, and said: "Now that the relatives and the party are powerful, I am afraid that soon, the butcher He will have to raise the matter of arguing for the prince again." Ke Jiao'er has been timid and cowardly since he was a child, and he only knows how to have fun. On the contrary, although Xie'er is young, he is quite bold and can take on great responsibilities. I'm very worried. ”

When Yang Biao heard this, his face was solemn, and he bowed his hand and said, "Your Majesty, don't worry." He Sui is no more than a butcher, if he really dares to have evil intentions, persecution of His Majesty. The ministers are willing to die and admonish them!! ”

Wang Yun's eyes were like torches, and then he also answered: "What Lord Yang said is extremely true, although the foreign relatives in the court and the central government are dominant, there are still many righteous people who are loyal to the Han family. This time, His Majesty is willing to purge the eunuchs, and the righteous people in the court and China are all happy. Now the urgent thing is to raise the dragon body first, immediately lead the ministers, etc., and revive the dynasty, which is by no means impossible! ”

When Liu Hong heard this, his face couldn't help but feel a little more remorseful, and he sighed: "Regret is not at the beginning, if I had listened to the advice of the two Aiqing in the past, how could the Han family have fallen so far!" I'm only afraid now that once I die, the Butcher brothers and sisters will be detrimental to Xie'er. In the future, if there is any case, I hope that the two Aiqing will take care of it. ”

When Yang Biao and Wang Yun heard this, they all changed color, and hurriedly knelt down and responded: "The ministers obey the holy order!" ”
