Liu Hong did not wake up for a long time, and the orthodox succession that was originally secretly secretly appeared in front of the ministers of Luoyang. Even the people of Luoyang are spreading word of mouth from time to time.

Liu Biannai is the eldest son, and it is natural to conform to virtue and make Liu Bian the emperor. What's more, Liu Bian's mother is the current queen and is very favored by Liu Hong. His uncle was a general of the dynasty, and he had a heavy army, which was understandable.

But it was Liu Hong's mother Empress Dowager Dong who adopted Liu Xie, and Empress Dowager Dong didn't like Empress He's ruthless style, and she also turned to Liu Bian, and didn't like Liu Bian to become the orthodox royal family of the Han Dynasty. Therefore, Empress Dowager Dong united with the court to be optimistic about Liu Xie's important ministers and wanted to appoint Liu Xie as the prince. came and went, and the dispute between the princes made Luoyang bloody and bloody.

In Luoyang City, Empress Dowager Dong's two relatives and nephews quietly came to Zhang Rang's mansion.

"General Dong, He Jin has contacted the ministers of the DPRK and the Central Committee to establish the prince as the prince, what should we do?" Zhang Rang looked at Dong Chong, looking very anxious.

"I wonder if General Dong can bring the Empress Dowager's decree?" Xia Yun, one of the ten permanent attendants, also asked anxiously.

"Don't worry too much about it, two regular attendants." Dong Zhong comforted: "The Queen Mother has ordered the two of us to contact the ministers of the DPRK and China, and many ministers have agreed. ”

"The prince lives in the Taoist temple outside the palace all the year round, frivolous and unceremonious, without any imperial demeanor. There are too many talents in the Prince's Association, and it is reasonable to inherit the orthodoxy of the Han Dynasty is undoubtedly the Prince's Association! Dong Cheng was beside him and said firmly.

Compared with the prince, the prince's association has always been in the palace, and it has been carefully taught by the Empress Dowager Dong. Moreover, the territory has always felt guilty about Liu Xie's biological mother, Queen Linghuai Wang Rong, and Liu Hong wrote "Chasing Virtue Fu" and "Ode to Lingyi" after the death of Queen Linghuai, expressing his grief for Queen Linghuai.

In addition, Liu Hong's biological mother, Empress Dowager Dong, has intervened in court politics for many years, and many ministers in the court have been promoted by Empress Dowager Dong. In Dong Cheng's view, the succession of the prince association to the throne is ironclad.

"We still need to move around a lot, and we must ask for the approval of more ministers of the DPRK and China, and don't worry about it again!"

"What General Dong said is extremely true! Our permanent servants are also ministers of the DPRK and China, and there are a lot of relationships, and the succession of the Prince Association is undoubted! When Zhang Rang heard this, his heart was a lot more stable. In my heart, I began to screen the ministers of the court who needed to visit.

Luoyang City Zhang let the three people attached to the middle school discuss. In the harem of Weiyang Palace, Queen He is actively preparing.

Don't think that He Jin is just a butcher, but the struggle for power seems to be innate. He Jin suggested that Empress He should be eunuchs to intervene in the affairs of the court and win over the handsome of the families, among which He Jin valued the most was Yuan Shao, who was the queen of the Yuan family in Runan.

The fourth and third princes of the Yuan family in Runan, his protégés are all over the world, and many of the ministers of the court and the central government are his protégés. In today's world, the energy of the Yuan family behind Yuan Shao is not small. Although Cao Cao had the intention of serving the imperial court, Cao Cao was always the queen of eunuchs. No matter how handsome he is, He Jin will not win over Cao Cao at this time.

"It has always been a courtesy of the Han Dynasty to appoint the eldest son as the prince, not to mention the Empress Dowager Dong's intervention in court politics, and at this time, she is even more involved in the matter of establishing the prince, which is very hateful." He Jin Zhao came to the DPRK to discuss the dispute between the two princes.

"The general doesn't have to be angry!" Yuan Shaozuo bowed and said: "It is orthodox to establish the eldest son as the prince, even if the Empress Dowager Dong has a heart, she must not go against the direction of the world." Moreover, the Confucianism of the DPRK and China will not agree. ”

"My Yuan protégé will not agree!"

When He Jin heard this, he was really happy in his heart, as long as the important ministers of the court and the family supported him, it would be easy to establish the prince Liu Bian. It's just that Yuan Shao's last sentence made He Jin's heart chuckle, and after a moment of silence, he had some plans in his heart.

"Originally, the fourth and third princes of the Ru Yuan clan were the world's most prominent clans. With the help of the beginning, the court is safe! He Jin praised Yuan Shao quietly.

Yuan Shaozuo bowed again, and his face did not change much: "To serve the general is to serve the prince, that is, to serve the Han court, Shao is very lucky!" ”

"It's just a general, if the eunuchs are not removed, it will be difficult for my Han court to see the blue sky!"

"That's natural, after the battle between the princes and princes, it will be the time when the eunuchs will die in vain!" He Jin's eyes showed determination, and the ambition in his heart kept breeding. After Liu Bian succeeds to the throne, the general can follow the example of the relatives of the first emperor Dou and tilt the power towards the government and the opposition, hahaha! He Jin smiled secretly in his heart, and the corners of his mouth were even more unconsciously curled.

Yuan Shao stood beside He Jin, and the corners of his mouth were upturned, but compared to He Jin, Yuan Shao smiled a little more cunningly. However, He Jin, who was obsessed with his own power, did not find Yuan Shao abnormal.

The relatives of the two parties are fighting in the dark, and many ministers of the DPRK and China are also secretly taking sides. Even though Cai Yong, Lu Zhi, Ma Riyan and others followed the rules of their ancestors farther away and made the eldest prince the prince, Liu Yan's performance on weekdays was really disappointing. It also led to the fact that the minister didn't know how to decide, so he had to secretly pray in his heart that Liu Hong could wake up as soon as possible, personally set up the prince, and lift the secret battle of the dispute between the prince.

Maybe God favors and doesn't want to see the chaos in Luoyang and bring disaster to the people. In August of the fifth year of Zhongping, Liu Hong finally woke up in the expectation of good or bad.

In two or three months, the news of Liu Hong's serious illness was still not kept, and it spread all over the world. The rebels from all over the country took the opportunity to attack the counties and counties, so they didn't go crazy. Bai Bo had the strongest momentum, not only regaining the several cities lost by Liu Hong's personal expedition before, but also attacking several counties, pointing directly at Xiayang County and Fenyin County, and threatening Anyi City, the seat of Hedong Governance.

The Yellow Turban Army of Gepi in Runan County is even more unstoppable, not only occupying the Pingyu City of Runan Zhisuo, but also attacking several counties, soldiers and horses set foot on the border of Yingchuan, occupying Changping of Chen State, and the power shocked the world.

The only consolation of the imperial court was that the Yizhou Yellow Turban rebels were defeated very quickly under the attack of the soldiers of Jialong Juzhou. And the Bajun Banyuman, who raised troops with the Yellow Turban Army of Ba County, was also sent by the Han Dynasty to Sima Zhao Jin of the Xiyuan Shang Army to lead the army to pacify.

After Liu Hong woke up, his vitality went crazy, and his body, which seemed to be strong before the expedition, was now like a dying old man, with white hair on his temples. The frightened Liu Hong woke up and immediately set up a headquarters in the West Garden to organize a new army.

The New Army Command has a total of eight lieutenants: Captain Jian Shuo, Captain of the Upper Army, Yuan Shao, Captain of the Middle Army, Bao Hong, Captain of the Lower Military Academy, Cao Cao, Captain of the Dian Army, Zhao Rong, Captain of the Left Colonel, Feng Fang, Captain of the Right Colonel, Captain Xia Mou, and Captain Chun Yuqiong of the Right Army. Among them, He Jin, the captain of the military colonel, also had to listen to Jian Shuo's command. Captain Jian Shuo became the supreme commander of the Han army.

As a eunuch, Jian Shuo was one of the bargaining chips for Zhang Rang, Zhao Zhong and others to increase the prince's association to inherit the unification, and Liu Hong, who woke up and didn't know why, listened to Zhang Rang and others, and made Jian Shuo the supreme commander of the Han army above He Jin.

"Your Majesty, the soldiers and horses of the eight captains of the West Garden have been matched, all of them are elite, and they are commanded by the captain of the military academy!" Zhang Rang presented the appointment document of the eighth lieutenant of the West Park to Liu Hong for his review.

Liu Hong trembled and took the document handed over by Zhang Rang, and after reading it, he looked extremely relieved. Liu Hong has always regarded Zhang Rang as a cronie, and even took the liberty of calling Rang's father, Jian Shuo is also a eunuch himself, and Zhang Rang is in charge, Liu Hong feels that Weiyang Palace is safe at this time.

"Let the Father arrange it so!" Liu Hong sat up with difficulty under Zhang Rang's service and said, "All the Tiger Talismans of the Eighth School of the West Garden have been collected and managed by me personally!" ”

"Your Majesty, rest assured!" When Zhang Rang heard this, he was very worried about Liu Hong, but he didn't know how to persuade him.

For more than a month, Liu Hong's body has improved a little under the conditioning of Chinese medicine craftsmen. As soon as the minister did not listen to the matter of the prince, even if Liu Hong was upset, he had to hold his body to the court to discuss the matter. In the end, Liu Hong didn't know how to make a conclusion, so he put it aside for the time being on the grounds that he was ill, and then made a decision after Liu Hong had considered it completely.

In terms of personal feelings, Liu Hongji is Xiang Li Liu Xie as the prince. is not only guilty of Empress Linghuai, Liu Hong thinks more about Liu Xie being more emperorly than Liu Yan. Moreover, Liu Xie's intelligence is indeed due to Liu Xian, which makes Liu Hong more confident that Liu Xie will take back the imperial power and govern the world.

However, the ancestors once decided that orthodoxy should be inherited by the eldest son, so as to calm the hearts of the people in the world.

"My lord, the struggle for the establishment of the imperial court is becoming more and more obvious, Your Majesty is weak, coupled with the anxiety, I am afraid that the imperial court will change!"

"My lord, Zhao is also extremely worried." Hu Zhao said with a worried face: "Now the Han Dynasty is constantly in the sky, rebels are frequent, and the entire Han Dynasty has never been stable for several years, if there is another shocking change in the DPRK, I am afraid that the world will not be at peace!" ”

"I don't know, but now Xianbei is attacking and can't get out. Besides, I was ordered to Yongzhen in the northern frontier, without His Majesty's edict, how dare I enter Beijing privately? ”

Hu Zhao and Xi Zhong sighed when they heard this, worried about the future of the Han Dynasty.

Because of the design of Xianbei, it seems that the Northern Regions are not enough troops, and Xiang Ao, who is passively defending, is really bored, so he recruits Li Jin to take over the defense of Wuquan, and he temporarily returns to Wuyuan with Xizhong, waiting for the opportunity. It's just that the news from Luoyang made Xiang Ao and the others uneasy.

And Xiang Ao, who was busy going out to fight against the rebellion, didn't know the situation in Xiliang at all, it wasn't that Xiang Ao didn't have information about Xiliang, but Xiang Ao was more concerned about the frequent rebels and Xianbei entering the country at this time, even if Hu Zhao had reported, Xiang Ao didn't take it to heart.

However, after Zhao Yun defeated the Xianbei under the city of Lady Fan, when he escorted the captives back to the Northern Regions, he also brought back many Qiang people captured when the Qiang people invaded the Northern Regions. Among the captives brought back, the identity of one person made Xiang Ao inadvertently inquire about the situation in Xiliang, and he had to pay attention to the Xiliang Qiang people and the soldiers and horses of the kingdom who were still wreaking havoc in the Fufeng area.

Among the Qiang captives forgotten by Xiang Ao in Lady Fan's city, one of them was the son of Bian Zhang, one of the leaders of the previous Qiang rebellion, Bian Jing. After more than two years of imprisonment, Bian Jing was almost unhuman, not because he was abused by soldiers, but because Bian Jing became depressed after learning that his father Bian Zhang had died.

Bian Jing thought that he had to spend the rest of his life in prison, unable to avenge his father, and regretted the rest of his life. If it weren't for some obsession in my heart, I'm afraid I would have committed suicide in the prison of Mrs. Yu Fan City. Even so, Bian Jing, who has no thoughts of life, is also alive without people and ghosts.

Although Bian Zhang is a rebel, he is still a local family, and his ancestors are Qiang people. A person from a family should have the pride of a person from a family, how can he be so humble or, besides, Bian Jing himself doesn't know why he doesn't want to give up the rest of his life.

Looking at the lifeless Bian Jing in his eyes, Xiang Ao asked softly: "After you are Bian Zhang, Bian Jing?" ”
