058 The Son of Heaven died
After thinking about it, Liu Bei scared himself out of a cold sweat, and finally decided to return to his own territory as soon as possible while the order was still there.
As for Luoyang, I really can't control it. The water in it is too deep, so deep that even the traversers who can predict the future can't grasp it.
Liu Bei was thinking about his heart on the side, and suddenly, someone from the palace invited He to enter the palace, saying that the Son of Heaven had died, and Jian Shuo and others invited the general He to enter the palace to discuss the future.
When He Jin heard that the Son of Heaven had died, he did not suspect him, so he rushed to the palace.
Only Liu Bei knew that Jian Shuo invited He into the palace to discuss whether the future of the Son of Heaven was fake, and it was true that he sent troops to ambush He Jin in the palace to kill him. He also knew that He Jin did not die in this turmoil.
Therefore, this is a good opportunity for speculation and a good time to make political capital, so Xuande got up and shouted: "General, move slowly!" ”
He Jin asked, "Xuande, why did you stop me?" ”
Liu Bei said: "The general is the admiration of a country, and at this very time, it is not appropriate to enter the palace province lightly." so as not to be taken by villains. ”
He Jin smiled when he heard this: "Xuande, you are too worried. ”
Liu Bei said: "The heart of defense is indispensable, if the general wants to do it, please allow Liu Bei to wear armor and carry weapons." This is called being prepared. ”
Originally, He Jin didn't want to do this, but Yuan Shao, Yuan Shu and others all said: "What Xuande Gong said is extremely true, and we are also willing to wear armor to accompany each other and protect the general." ”
He Jin had no choice but to agree, Liu Bei and others were dressed all over, protected He Jin, and went to the palace.
Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty died in the Nangong Jiade Palace, which was originally the palace where the Empress Dowager Dong lived.
Before his death, Emperor Ling of Han handed over the edict to Jian Shuo. In the posthumous photo, Liu Jian was established as the emperor, and the general He Jin and the Taifu Yuan Kui assisted the government.
Then, Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty entrusted Liu Xie to Jian Shuo's care.
Jian Shuo was selfish, he was originally afraid of He Jin's brothers, and knew that once Liu Fan ascended the throne, He Jin, as a relative, would inevitably be weighted. Their own military power is not guaranteed. So he decided to strike first, get rid of He Jin first, and then abolish Liu Bian, and support Liu Xie's accession to the throne. At that time, Jian Shuo will be able to take charge of the military power of the Beijing division alone, and overwhelm Zhang Rang to become the first eunuch, and even the first person in the court.
When He Jin and his entourage arrived at the gate of the palace, Sima Panyin, who was a big man, had old friends with He Jin, and when he saw He Jin, he greeted him, and while walking, he glanced at He Jin.
He Jin came to his senses, hurriedly turned his horse and galloped away, Liu Bei beat the horse to follow, He Jin said to Liu Bei: "I don't want to change in the palace, if it weren't for Xuande, I would be almost embarrassed." In Xuande's opinion, how should we deal with it now? ”
In He Jin's opinion, if Liu Bei hadn't reminded him and made him take precautions, he might not have been able to react at once.
Therefore, He Jin was very grateful to Liu Bei.
Seeing that He Jin really escaped the scourge of killing as in history, Liu Bei said: "Now, when you lead your troops into the Hundred Counties, ask the counties of the world to write a book, ask the crown prince to ascend the throne, first determine the status of the monarch and the minister, and then punish the thief." This is the method of obedience and rebellion. ”
So, He Jin sent troops to surround the Baijun Mansion, and he himself hid in the Baijun Mansion, saying that he was ill, so he used this as an excuse not to enter the palace and not to participate in the funeral of Emperor Ling of Han.
Liu Bei personally put on armor to guard He Jin, and explained to the outside world: "The general is really the look up to a country, and if the general is safe, then the Beijing division will be safe, and the Beijing division will be safe, and the world will be safe." ”
In fact, this is not only to pat He Jin's sycophants, but also to avoid the etiquette of various troubles after the death of Emperor Han Ling.
On April 13, seeing that He Jin was not fooled, Jian Shuo had no choice but to read out the edict. Liu Bian ascended the throne, granted amnesty to the world, and changed the yuan to "Guangxi". Liu Xie, the emperor's younger brother, was the king of Bohai, the Empress Dowager He was in the dynasty, and the general Yuan Kui was the prince, and the general He Jin was in charge of Shangshutai.
He Jin thought that the eunuch was hated by the people of the world, and he hated Jian Shuo to kill him, so he wanted to kill Jian Shuo. At this time, He Jin was in charge of power for the first time, and Yuan Shao was also scheming, because of the persuasion of Zhang Jin, a relative of his relatives, he said: "The Yellow Gate has been serving for a long time, and he has committed adultery with the Empress Dowager Changle. He Jin agreed.
He Jin also took the Yuan family's "four generations and three dukes", and the world looked forward to it, and Yuan Shao was good at raising soldiers, and he could be used by heroes, and his younger brother Yuan Shu was also still chivalrous, so he treated him well. With Yuan Shao as the mastermind and Yuan Shu as the general of the Tiger Ben, he recruited more than 20 scholars into the court as officials, among which the wise and resourceful people Xiao Ji, He Hao, Xun You, etc., discussed major matters with their hearts.
At this time, Jian Shuo also knew that he was in danger, so he wrote a letter to Zhao Zhong and others, and his book said: "The general's brother Bingguo is a dictatorship, and now he is conspiring with the party members of the world to punish the first emperor and destroy my Cao." But the soldiers were forbidden with Shuodian, so they groaned. It is advisable to close the cabinet and arrest him urgently. ”
Zhang Rang, Zhao Zhong and others discussed. Guo Sheng, a regular servant, is a fellow villager of He Jin. Guo Sheng helped Empress Dowager He back then, got close to He Jin, and after discussing with Zhang Rang, Zhao Zhong and other eunuchs, not only did not listen to Jian Shuo's words, but also handed Jian Shuo's letter directly to He Jin. He Jin made people kill Jian Shuo. Jian Shuo's soldiers and horses are all in the way.
At this point, the two people who can expose Liu Bei pretending to be the emperor's uncle have returned to heaven, and Liu Bei's name as the emperor's uncle can be regarded as solid.
At this time, there was another conflict in the harem, and the Empress Dowager did not like Empress Dowager He, and said: "You have killed the beauty of the king, and you are jealous." Now rely on your son as the king, and your brother He Jin's momentum, dare to talk nonsense! I have a hussar to cut off your brother's head, like a backhand! ”
Empress Dowager He told her brother He Jin overnight. He Jin and He Miao brothers jointly said that according to the law of the Han family, "the story of the queen of Tibet must not stay in Beijing", and asked the empress dowager to return to her hometown in Hejian in Jizhou.
On May 6, He Jin sent troops to surround the Hussar General's Mansion and relieved Dong Chong of his military power, and Dong Chong was arrested and imprisoned, and died in prison.
Subsequently, the Empress Dowager died violently in June, and the imperial court announced that the Empress Dowager was seriously ill, and it was rumored that the Ho family had murdered the Empress Dowager.
At this point, the power of the imperial court completely fell into the hands of Empress Dowager He, He Jin and Yuan Kui.
Seeing that the general trend had been decided, because Liu Bei first had the merit of reminding and then having the feeling of guarding, He Jin wanted to promote Liu Bei to the rear general to replace Yuan Kui's original position.
However, Liu Bei knew that Luoyang had no future, so Liu Bei excused himself and said: "The first emperor once ordered me to crusade against Qingxu Yellow Turban. Today, there are as many as one million yellow turbans in Qingzhou, and they are the great enemy. Liu Bei's corporal and soldiers are all from the plains, and now the yellow turbans are rampant in Qingzhou, plundering the counties. If the news comes, the fear of the army will change. I wish to return to Qingzhou and pacify the yellow turbans in Qingzhou and Xuzhou. Report to the Son of Heaven and go down to An Lishu. ”
Hearing that there are as many as one million Yellow Turbans in Qingzhou, He Jin was also taken aback and said: "In this case, I will recommend you as the general of Zhengdong, leading the history of Qingzhou Thorns, fake festivals, and crusade against Qingxu Yellow Turbans." It's just that the first emperor is in mourning, and Xuande is not too late to leave Beijing after the mourning period is over. ”
So, He Jin went to the table, and the court worshiped Liu Bei as the general of the expedition to the east, and the history of Qingzhou Thorn.
At this time, He Jin had already controlled the government, and naturally passed. Liu Bei took out his customs clearance cheats again, and once again conquered the world's heroes, Liu Bei knew that this time was probably the last time.
The postal system of the Han Dynasty was very developed, and after the chaos in the world, Liu Bei could not rely on this system to recruit talents.
