General's Palace.

Due to a series of edicts from the Son of Heaven to force the scholars to unite with their relatives, in the face of the general trend, the general He Jin had to consider how to help Shi Hou to the position of the Ninth Five-Year Plan.

He Jin, who was plotting in the palace, received the news from the palace, and immediately summoned a group of cronies, only to hear him say: "There is news from the palace, the imperial doctor ordered the Son of Heaven to be treated, and the Son of Heaven is terminally ill. ”

After He Jin finished speaking, there was a sigh in the room, and only one person stepped forward, and said with great righteousness: "The Yellow Gate has been serving for a long time, and he has committed adultery with the Empress Dowager Changle, and the general should select virtuous talents, rectify the world, and eliminate harm for the country." ”

Fu Shi Hou succeeded to the throne, and the traitorous eunuchs around the Qing Emperor can be said to be the consensus of the people in the world, and immediately got the response of everyone in the field, Xun You got up and said: "What Zhang Ziyun said is that the period of the Son of Heaven is approaching, so he will frequently promote important ministers in the past few days, especially the general of the Che Cavalry was transferred out of Beijing, which made it clear that it was to deal with the general in order to make Dong Hou ascend to the throne. ”

"What Gongda said is true, my uncle Yuan Kui was transferred out of Beijing, also to remove obstacles to Dong Hou's succession."

Although Yuan Shao said alarmist, after all, the fourth and fifth dukes of the Yuan family, the reputation of the sea is grand, and the Son of Heaven transferred him out of Beijing, obviously not like dealing with the general He Jin to get rid of him quickly, but more like letting him stay away from the land of right and wrong, waiting for Dong Hou to sit on the throne of the Son of Heaven, leaving Yuan Kui for the new Son of Heaven, otherwise keeping him in Beijing will be a major obstacle to the establishment of the new Son of Heaven, and it will be difficult to use it after the new emperor succeeds to the throne.

In this way, there are many important ministers who are left for the Son of Heaven to ascend the throne in the future, and most of them are talented scholars and doctors who oppose the establishment of young and elders, so these people have more or less been demoted or even dismissed or even transferred out of Beijing. What he did was to protect the new emperor on the throne, but the Son of Heaven underestimated the snobbery of the scholar class. Especially in the matter of establishing the elder or not the young, otherwise the illness of the Son of Heaven would not have been repeatedly reported from the ban. Even if the ban has already decreed that the Son of Heaven's illness must not be leaked, this is like a piece of paper and has no effect at all.

The unanimous tone of the staff around He Jin made him finally make up his mind, and suddenly he suddenly rose: "As the old saying goes, a husband can't eat five tripods in life, and he should also cook five tripods!" That being the case, I should secretly order my brother to return to Beijing, and everything will be done when the forbidden army is mastered! ”

"The general's words are wrong, and he has been preemptive since ancient times; Aftermath is controlled by others. If the Son of Heaven dies in the future, there is the Queen Mother, there is Jian Shuo, and there are hussars Dong Zhong and Xu Xiang, and then the overall situation will be certain, and the young lord will be supported to succeed to the throne, and the general will lose the righteousness. It's late. ”

"...... now"

"The only way to do this now is to start first, and when the Son of Heaven dies, we will immediately support the eldest prince in the court to argue as the Son of Heaven. But there are those who obstruct it, and there is no mercy! ”

He Jin looked at the person who spoke, and it was no one else who could say this at this moment. It is Yuan Shao, if this sentence comes from the mouth of someone else. He Jin still has some concerns, but it can come from Yuan Shao's mouth. Naturally, it can be implemented, after all, the Yuan family has been favored for many generations, the fourth generation and the fifth duke, and has won the reputation of the sea, and the establishment of the chief will also be supported by the people of the world, so he immediately nodded and said: "This matter is according to the original intention." ”

Xun You frowned and said: "There is still something wrong with this matter, Jian Shuo is in charge of the army of the West Garden, if he is in trouble at that time, how can he compete with Jian Shuo with private soldiers as he said at the beginning?" ”

"Gongda is too careful......"

"Nope." He Jin suddenly interrupted the words of several people: "Gongda's words are true, this matter still needs the help of the forbidden soldiers, the reason why Dou Wu wanted to kill the eunuchs back then was because the five battalions and hundreds of officials obeyed the eunuchs, and they were afraid of the eunuchs. ”

"The general is thoughtful, so the eunuch party is not to be afraid."

He Jin said with a smile: "A few people don't know, Guo Sheng and I are from the same county, if you get their help in this matter, you can always grasp the whereabouts of Jian Shuo, and everything is ready." ”

At the same time, in the palace, in the Wenming Palace, the arrival of the Empress Dowager Dong made the palace busy inside and out, some were busy leading the Empress Dowager Dong to visit the Son of Heaven in the palace, and some were busy reporting the situation to the queen.

When the Empress Dowager Dong arrived, she was distressed when she saw the emperor struggling to get up to salute, stopped Xiao Zhongjuan, who was about to help the Son of Heaven get up, waved her hand, and said, "You all go out, the mourning family wants to talk to the Son of Heaven." ”

After the palace maid and the chamberlain retreated, looking at Liu Hong, the son of heaven, his face was as pale as paper, his body was thin, and his expression was haggard, and his original pair of bright eyes had become dull, and he was very sad: "Child, ......"

The sobbing Empress Dowager Dong could hardly say a word, looking at her mother's sad appearance, Emperor Ling's heart ached, and he struggled to comfort his mother by leaning on the cushion: "The queen mother doesn't have to be too sad, the destiny is like this, presumably the child will go to see his father soon." ”

The father in Emperor Ling's mouth was not Emperor Huan of Han but his biological father, Liu Chang, the Marquis of the Pavilion, and the Empress Dowager Dong was even more sad when she heard him say this, and cried: "Child, you are still in the prime of life, what do you say about such bad luck as not dying, it is good to recuperate, and you will be able to recover in a few days." ”

"The queen mother, the child's illness cannot be cured by medicine." When Emperor Ling said this, he looked preoccupied, and said: "There are some words that the child knows that it is out of place, but since the queen mother is here, the child has to say that since ancient times, the lord and the young minister are strong, and the child is so miserable when he enters Beijing in the early years. ”

"Don't get excited, don't get excited, son." Empress Dowager Dong's eyes were full of tears, and she reached out to hold the palm of Emperor Ling's hand: "Since you have decided to establish the Marquis of Dong, why don't you issue an edict as soon as possible to avoid future troubles." ”

"Now the edict is too great, the resistance is too great, the child is removing the obstacles for Dong Hou, and when these old thieves who eat the ancients are driven out of the court, they will issue an edict to establish Dong Hou as the prince."

"Child, the queen mother of the temple does not understand, but I can understand your distress, in the end, although you don't like Shi Hou, but you are still afraid of their brothers."

Emperor Ling was embarrassed, and said: "It's still the mother who knows the heart of the child, their brother relationship is close, the child really doesn't want their brothers to fight against each other, no matter how much the child hates the slut, but Shi Hou, in the final analysis, is the flesh and blood of the child." ”

"Yes, the two children are your blood and bones, and your blood is connected, and you don't want to be kind to the other." Empress Dowager Dong understood that her child said these words so that she could let Shi Hou go even if she really wanted to deal with that slut a hundred years later, but in fact, Dong Hou really didn't want to force that slut and Shi Hou to death.
