Five years after Zhongping, Emperor Liu Hong's health became worse and worse, and he expected that his life would not be long, and he was always not at ease with his heir to the throne. Pen ~ fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info Liu Hong got married at the age of fifteen, and even several sons died, and later the queen He gave birth to a son for him, named it, Liu Hong was worried that he could not live, so he fostered in a Taoist.

A few years later, Wang Meiren gave birth to a son for Liu Hong and named him Xie. Subsequently, Wang Meiren was poisoned and died. Liu Hong was worried about the safety of the second son's association, and put Liu Xie to be raised by his mother, the Empress Dowager Dong. He was then proclaimed empress, and he was brought back when Liu Tan was ten years old.

As the two sons grew up, Emperor Liu Hong became more and more troubled. The eldest son, Liu Zhen, is weak and unassertive, which makes Liu Hong very worried, how can he rest assured that he will pass on the throne to him? The second son, Liu Xie, is smart and clever, and he is very decisive in doing things, and he feels like himself.

However, Liu Bian had already been established as the crown prince, and his uncle He Jin was a general who was in charge of the world's soldiers and horses. Now the Han Dynasty is in turmoil, which also makes Liu Hong dare not act rashly.

Liu Hong entered the palace at the age of twelve to succeed to the emperor's throne, and was bullied by the general Dou Wu, and knew the interests and disadvantages of the dictatorship of his relatives. Seeing that Uncle He Jin has a heavy army, once he is gone, his power can be imagined. After thinking about it again and again, it was decided to establish the eighth lieutenant of Xiyuan, with Xiaohuangmen Jian Shuo as the captain of the upper military academy, Yuan Shao as the lieutenant of the middle military academy, Bao Hong, the lieutenant of the tun cavalry, as the lieutenant of the lower military academy, Cao Cao as the lieutenant of the military academy, Zhao Rong as the captain of the left army, Feng Fang as the captain of the right army, Xia Mu as the captain of the left army, Chun Yuqiong as the captain of the right military academy, and the above military captain Jian Shuo commanded the whole army and obeyed the emperor's orders.

In this way, Liu Hong was a little relieved. Although Jian Shuo is in charge of heavy troops, he is still very scruples about He Jin, especially among the captains of several major colonels, Yuan Shao, Cao Cao, Chun Yuqiong and others are very close to the general He Jin, so that Jian Shuo is helpless. It was clear that the Son of Heaven wanted to establish the second son association as the emperor, so he suggested that the emperor send He Jin to Chang'an to pacify Bian Zhang and Han Sui.

He Jin was born as a butcher, because his sister entered the palace as a nobleman, gave birth to a prince and argued, and became a queen before he could become an official. During the Yellow Turban Rebellion, he was given the important task of being appointed as a general, commanding the national army and pacifying the Yellow Turbans. After He Jin received the emperor's edict, he discussed with the ministers, and got news from the palace that this was Jian Shuo's conspiracy.

Then He Jin went to the emperor: "The country has suffered from military disasters, there is a shortage of military funds, and now the yellow turbans in Xu and Yan Erzhou are rising again, and they urgently need to be pacified. After Yuan Zhonglang will return, I will lead the troops to the west to share the worries of the country. ”

Liu Hong agreed.

In the sixth year of Zhongping, Emperor Liu Hong's health was even worse, and in the court, in addition to worrying about the general He Jin, there was another person who also worried him. This person is the former general Dong Table. This Dong Table has been fine since the first year of Zhongping instead of Lu Zhi failed to conquer the Yellow Turban Zhang Jiao and was relieved of military power.

In the second year of Zhongping, Beidi Xian Lingqiang promoted Huang Zhongyi from Beigong Boyu and Li Wenhou as generals, killed Ling Zheng, the captain of Huqiang, kidnapped Jincheng people Bian Zhang and Han Sui, killed Jincheng Taishou Chen Yi, and led the military and government of Jincheng in Liangzhou.

Later, in the name of Bian Zhang, Han Sui pretended to kill the eunuchs, and led tens of thousands of cavalry to attack Sanfu and approached the imperial tomb of the Han family. Dong Table bribed the Ten Standing Attendants, Emperor Ling restarted Dong Zhuo as the Zhonglang General, and followed the left chariot general Huangfu Song to ask for Bian Zhang, Han Sui.

Huangfu Song was dismissed because of the long battle without success. The imperial court also took Sikong Zhang Wen as the general of the chariot cavalry, and the false festival, and Yuan Peng, who held Jinwu, was the deputy to replace Huangfu Song. In addition, Dong Zhuo was worshiped as the general of the captives, and he was restrained by Zhang Wen together with Zhou Shen, the general of Dangkou. Zhang Wen and Dong Zhuo fought several battles with Han Sui and Bian Zhang without success.

In June, there are meteors like fire, the light is more than ten zhang long, from the side of the chapter, Han Sui camp above the sky, donkeys and horses neighing. Han Sui and the others thought it was ominous and returned to Jincheng. Dong Zhuo and Bao Hong, the right Fufeng, and other joint troops attacked, broke Bian Zhang, Han Sui, and beheaded thousands of people. Bian Zhang and Han were defeated and left Yuzhong, Zhang Wen sent Zhou Shen to lead 30,000 people to pursue, but was besieged by Bian Zhang and Han Sui, and Zhou Shen fled.

Dong Zhuo also led 30,000 troops to conquer Xian Lingqiang. Dong Zhuo was also surrounded by Qianghu in the north of Wangyuan, and his food was cut off, and his advance and retreat were critical. Dong Table had a plan, camped by the river, pretended to feed on fishing, and secretly cut off the river. After crossing the river, the embankment was opened, and when the Qiang Hu soldiers chased after them, the river was already deep, so they had to retreat, and Dong Zhuo's whole division returned.

On the way back, Dong Table wantonly killed the Xianlingqiang herdsmen and pretended to be rebels to receive merit. He was given the title of Marquis of Yu. In the autumn of the fifth year of Zhongping, Han Sui took revenge on Bian Zhang, held the Hanyang Kingdom hostage, and besieged Chencang. The court worshiped Dong Zhuo as a former general, and together with the left general Huangfu Song, he led the troops to guard Chang'an. Due to the disagreement between Dong Table and Huang Fu Song, Huang Fu Song made Dong Table the rear army, and with the assistance of Liu Shi, he killed the kingdom, defeated Han Sui, and returned triumphantly.

Emperor Liu Hong was overjoyed and was a meritorious minister, and at this time Liu Hong wanted to relieve Dong Table's military power and recruit Dong Table's military power. Dong Table knows that military power is important in troubled times, and he is willing to put it there. He wrote to the emperor and said: "The warriors and Qin Hu soldiers of the emperor I led told me that the food and salary were not enough, and the things distributed by the court had run out, and now my wife and children were starving and cold, and they pulled my car to prevent me from going on the road. The Qianghu people are wolf-hearted, and I can't stop it, so I have to stay and appease them against my orders. I'll do it later. ”

After receiving the play on Dong's table, Liu Hong was furious and scolded: "Unreasonable! He slammed the piece to the ground.

Zhang Rang said to Liu Hong: "What Dong Table is greedy for is only power, so it is better to transfer him to the state and serve as the state pastor." He asked him to hand over the army to Huangfu Song. Liu Hong nodded in agreement. After receiving the offer, Dong Desk discussed with the generals and staff, and then moved to Hedong and took up the post of governor of the state. And he wrote to the letter: "The minister has no foresight, and there is no feat. Inheriting the emperor's wrong love, let the ministers be in charge of the army for ten years, and the soldiers and ministers have been in charge for a long time. Nostalgia for the nurturing grace of the minister, willing to serve the minister, hoping that the minister will take them with him and serve the frontier. So he led his troops to garrison Hedong and watched the changes in the court.

After reading the letter, Liu Hong glared at Zhang Rang and said, "This chaotic minister and thief dares to disobey his orders." This will be the one who will disturb the court later. Zhang Rang stepped forward and said: "The emperor's body is important, not to mention that the emperor is in full bloom, and it is not too late to figure out, the palace has recruited a few new women, so that they can solve the problem for the emperor." Liu Hong sighed: "My father is still considerate of me." ”

In April of the sixth year of Zhongping, Emperor Liu Hong's body was no longer good. was even more worried about his heir to the throne, and the Empress Dowager Dong also persuaded the emperor to appoint the prince as the crown prince. Liu Hong himself also favors the Prince Association very much, but He Jin does not dare to move lightly when he is in power.

At this time, he was critically ill, and the Zhongchang attendant Jian Shuo said: "If you want to establish an association, you must first kill He Jin to prevent future troubles." Liu Hong agreed with him, and Xuan He entered the palace. As soon as He Jin arrived at the palace gate, Sima Panyin, who was a big man, was friendly with He Jin, and it was rumored that He Jin said: "You can't enter the palace." Jian Shuo wants to murder the general. ”

When He Jin received the news, he was shocked, and hurriedly fled back to his private house, summoned all the ministers, and planned to kill the eunuchs.

A person on the seat stepped forward and said: "The momentum of the eunuch arises from the time of rush and quality. The imperial court is extremely extensive, how can it be killed? If the plan is not secret, there will be a disaster of extermination. Please think carefully. ”

He Jin saw that it was Cao Cao, the captain of the military academy. He Jin scolded: "How can you know about the major affairs of the imperial court!" After the discussion failed, Pan Yin arrived and said, "The emperor has died." Sai Shuo consulted with the ten permanent servants, kept the secret and did not mourn, and announced that Uncle He Guo would enter the palace, and he would be crowned as the emperor by preventing future troubles. ”

As soon as he finished speaking, the mission arrived, and Xuan Hejin quickly entered the palace to arrange the future. Cao Cao said: "For today's plan, first correct the throne, and then plot to be a thief." He Jin stood up and said loudly: "Who dares to ask for a thief with my righteous monarch?" One person stood up and said loudly: "I am willing to borrow 5,000 elite soldiers, cut the pass in, set up a new monarch, kill all the eunuchs, sweep the court, and calm the world!" ”

He Jin took a look, the son of Situ Yuan Feng and the nephew of Yuan Kui. The name Shao, the word is original. Lieutenant Sili. He Jin was overjoyed and personally ordered the Imperial Forest Army to be 5,000. Yuan Shao was draped all over his body, and He Jin took more than 30 ministers such as He Yan, Xun You, and Zheng Tai to enter one after another, and in front of the Ling Emperor's coffin, he set up the crown prince to succeed to the emperor's throne.
