On the second day, on this good day of "the general returned victoriously and the soldiers returned to their hometown", Liu Hong made an exception to open the early dynasty.

Xiang Cheng's official position actually couldn't enter the main hall, but this time it was different, not only Xiang Cheng, but even Dong Zhuo entered the main hall. Although they were standing at the end, they were much better than Ma Teng and Sun Jian, who were now standing outside the hall waiting for the word to be transmitted.

The court is like the sea, this is not false at all, no matter if you are in a high position or a person with a low voice, you are all courtiers here, and the only one who can decide your life and death is the one who sits at the top.

What's more, the last generation is not as prosperous as the Age. The reason why the last emperor was said to be mediocre was more unfair than some of his own strange habits. It is precisely because of injustice that in the last generation, it was more of a word.

The phrase "the king let the minister die, the minister has to die" was placed in the heyday, it was the words of the courtier to threaten the emperor, but if it was placed in the last generation, it was the truth.

I want Huangfu Song to work hard for the foundation of the Han Dynasty all his life, and there are countless yellow turbans in Yuzhou and Jizhou, and at this time, he is also like an ancient old man who stands at the forefront of this hall, for fear that he will lose his life and take it in.

Even how to enter such a general, who had just returned victorious, did not dare to pant loudly.

This is imperial majesty! It doesn't matter what the fortunes of the country are.

"Go to court!" Zhang Rang cleared his throat, stood beside the dragon chair and shouted: "If there is something to do, play early, and if there is nothing to retreat from!" ”

He Jin took a step forward and said, "The minister has this music!" ”

"Speak!"

"The Liangzhou rebellion has been trampled by our Han iron cavalry, and now it is scattered in Jincheng, Wuwei and Zhangye counties. I thought that after the autumn harvest this year, when the overall situation attacked Liangzhou, the Liangzhou rebellion was completely pacified. ”

Liu Hong pondered for a moment and said, "The general is dedicated to my Han Sheji, and I am very relieved. Without waiting for He Jin to be happy, Liu Hong changed his words and said: "But I have already asked Geng Contempt to go to Liangzhou, and it is enough to pacify the rebellious army in Liangzhou with his ability, so I won't bother the general." ”

Although Liu Hong's words seemed to be polite, all the civil and military in this hall could hear that he had already begun to guard against He Jin at this time.

And what didn't hear the meaning of Liu Hong's words was exactly He Jin.

He Jin said again: "Your Majesty, the minister and Geng Cong have met in Liangzhou, this person has no great talent, and he is insatiable, and he secretly thinks that this person cannot do a good job in this assassination history." ”

Whether He Jin has two hearts or not, Xiang Cheng knows. This person is already vulgar, and he has no desire to peep at the ninety-five position. But the ministers of the court and the central government did not know, and Liu Hong, as the emperor, knew it in time, and he could not be unguarded.

Even if He Jin doesn't have two hearts, who can guarantee that he will lead troops outside all the year round, and his subordinate generals will have two hearts?

Liu Hong's brows frowned slightly when he heard this, and Zhang Rang saw this and screamed: "Bold! He Jin, don't you think that you can understand and employ people better than Your Majesty? ”

Originally, when the word "bold" first came out, He Jin was almost ready to reason with Zhang Rang. But the big hat in the back, He Jin didn't dare to take it, he was not smart, but he was definitely not a fool, Zhang Rang was forcing himself to die!

He Jin knelt in the hall with a "bang" and shouted: "Your Majesty! Wronged! ”

Liu Hong smiled at this time: "The general will naturally not do such a reluctance to do such things. Get up and speak, get up and speak. He Jin slowly got up in fear.

Liu Hong said: "The general is a meritorious person, and I am also a person with clear rewards and punishments. Now that the general has made such a great contribution, what do you say I should reward you? ”

As soon as these words came out, the hall was filled with gasps. As the saying goes, "The birds are all gone, the good bow is hidden, the cunning rabbit is dead, and the lackeys are cooked." But now, not to mention whether the flying birds and cunning rabbits are really dead, Liu Hong is ready to put away all his good bows and lackeys for him.

He Jin was shocked when he heard this, and hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, it is within the scope of the ministers to guard the country for my Han Dynasty, how dare you ask for a reward, Your Majesty must be tormented by me." ”

Liu Hong stood up from the dragon chair, pointed at He Jin and said angrily: "He Jin! I arrange the Liangzhou Thorn History, you don't want to! Now I'm asking for your own reward, and you don't want to! Don't you think you can't listen to everything I say? ”

The emperor was furious, and the corpse was floating for thousands of miles.

Not to mention He Jin, none of the ministers present trembled in their hearts.

He Jin didn't dare to say more, but knelt down again with a "bang", buried his head deeply between his arms, and did not plead or cry. It seems that the trip to Liangzhou is indeed a very good tempering for He Jin's courage.

Liu Hong's temperament passed, and he sat back on the dragon chair, and then said: "The general has merit, and I will reward it." But you are above the court, and it is a great transgression. The merits and demerits are offset by the original position. ”

With that, Liu Hong raised his feet and walked out.

Zhang Rang followed behind Liu Hong and shouted: "Retreat!" Only then did the civil and military put down their hanging hearts, but everyone knew that from today onwards, the great general He Jin was probably going to fall out of favor.

After everyone left, Xiang Cheng walked to He Jin's side and fell asleep: "General, it's all gone." ”

He Jin raised his head, quietly looked left and right, and asked, "Are they all gone?" ”

"Gone."

At this time, he seemed to have been drained of all his strength, and he threw himself on his stomach towards the main hall, and let out a long breath. said: "Damn, I'm scared to death." ”

Xiang Cheng asked again: "What is the general's plan?" ”

He Jin turned over and asked, "Can Guo Fengxiao beside you borrow some time from me?" ”

Xiang Cheng smiled: "Naturally." ”

He Jin stood up by Xiang Cheng's shoulder, and dragged Xiang Cheng towards the outside of the Di'an Gate: "If it weren't for Feng Xiao's words first, I'm afraid I would have confessed here today." Why is it so difficult to guess the emperor's mind when you say it? ”

Xiang Chengdao: "General, be cautious." ”

"Yes, yes, be cautious."

As soon as the two of them came out of the hall, Ma Teng and Sun Jian were rubbing their hands outside, and Huangfu Song changed his normal state and stayed here waiting for Xiang Cheng to come out.

Xiang Cheng sent He Jin and hurriedly bowed: "General Huangfu." ”

Huangfu Song also seemed to breathe a sigh of relief, and said with a smile: "What else is the name of General Huangfu, I am now unofficial and light, and Your Majesty is not a lord who loves the court, but I am happy and relaxed." ”

Xiang Cheng said: "General Huangfu is General Huangfu after all. The crowd laughed softly.

Huangfu Song seemed to think of something, and said to He Jin: "General, this is already peaceful inside and outside, but Jiangxia has a chaotic army, I don't know what you think?" ”

He Jin said: "What can I think, old general, you also know how I came to be a great general, so don't bury me." ”

Huangfu Song said: "The general must have a way." After saying that, he laughed, and didn't care about anything else, and walked towards the palace gate by himself. Only leave everyone to look at me, I look at you, I don't know what this old general of the emperor means.

Xiang Chengdao: "Why don't you go and ask Fengxiao?" ”

He Jin nodded and said, "Let's go to my house together." ”
