Chapter 1: The Turbulent Sun

Liu Hong died at the age of Chinese New Year's Eve, which is simply incredible in the eyes of modern people, but in this era, many people have become accustomed to it. Since Emperor Zhang, the third emperor of the Eastern Han Dynasty, his life span is not long, and he died at the age of twenty or thirty.

The emperor made a big trip, and then Zhang Rang and Zhao Zhong officially read out Liu Hong's edict, the prince argued as the new monarch, and the prince Xie was the king of Chen Liu. According to the meaning of the holy decree, Liu Xie is to 'take office immediately'. However, Empress Dowager Dong was attached to this grandson, so she did not let him go.

Liu Hong died, the key is that there is no money for the funeral, the treasury is completely empty, and Zhao Zhong and Yuan Valve have the idea of internal money. As a result, except for the part that Zhang Rang kept in custody, the other eight Yellow Gates who were responsible for keeping the money had all died, and all the money and property in his custody were gone.

"Find, dig three feet into the ground and find it for me!" Yuan Kui was furious, he had been eyeing the internal money for more than a day or two, but today someone told him that the money was missing? Of course, it's not all, Zhao Zhong and Zhang Rang's are still there, but the money of these two people can't be moved, especially during this time.

Recently, He Jin has been instigated by Yuan Valve, and his ambitions have become a little inflated, and he has effectively imitated Dou Wu in a faint way, and the identity of a relative dominates the military power. He Hou saw his brother's ambition and was also worried that he would threaten the safety of himself and Liu Wei, so he had to use the Ten Standing Servants to fight against him.

A month later, donated by the princes of the imperial court, as well as Zhao Zhong and Zhang Rang, they also took out some of the private money, and finally made up the needs for the burial of Emperor Ling. So far, Liu Hong can be buried smoothly, but the lack of funds can only simplify everything.

Soon after the burial, there was a rumor in Luoyang: the Han Emperor originally planned to pass on his youngest son Liu Xie, and the holy decree had been written. It was only in order to cling to Empress He that the Ten Standing Servants tampered with the content of the edict, which allowed Liu Wei to ascend the throne.

This kind of casual thinking knows that there are greasy rumors, but the result is that it is spreading in Luoyang, and it is obvious that someone is behind this public opinion. As Liu Hong's diehard loyalist, Jian Shuo, who has no brains, actually believed this rumor.

For a while, he directly broke away from the camp of the Ten Standing Servants, but he did not join the camp of Yuan Valve or He Jin, but only maintained neutrality. It was undoubtedly the stupidest thing to do, but he didn't notice it.

It took nearly two months for the news of the death of Emperor Han to reach every corner of the Han Dynasty. According to the rules, the whole country mourns, no alcohol is allowed within a month, the green building is not opened, and private parties cannot hold banquets.

"Your Majesty has died? It's early......" Xun Biao seemed to have expected this news a long time ago, but he felt that the news came a little early, "Ruoyang is now afraid that it has become a mess, right?" ”

"According to the exact information, the relationship between He Jin and He Hou is getting worse and worse! He Jin, that butcher, really thought that he could be in charge of the military and political power as a relative like Dou Wu? The ancestor of Dou Wu is a descendant of Dou Rong, the thirty-two generals of Yuntai, and the ancestor is a member of the Western Han Dynasty, he has this background, and He Jin is just an upstart. Li Ming said disdainfully.

Even Yuan Valve didn't dare to jump out when Emperor Han had just died, but he was a nouveau riche jumping up and down, not to mention those old family valves, even if he was an ordinary scholar, he was afraid that he would look down on him. How can a general with no prestige and no background be able to take charge of military and political power as a relative?

Li Ming knew very well that if the Han Emperor died, then Dong Zhuo would enter the central government, and then the princes would ask for Dong. He has been preparing for the past two years, waiting for this moment to come. Military rations and weapons supplies have been secretly prepared.

"The new monarch is still young, and he still has to rely on the Empress Dowager He to govern the government, and in the end, he has to rely on the support of the ten permanent servants. I have to say that the age of the new monarch is really delicate, if he is younger, maybe the courtiers will propose another person to be the emperor, just like the first emperor was elected in the past. But Xinjun is 14 years old and already has a certain ability to govern...... The key is that the new gentleman at this age has a special value! Xun Biao said solemnly.

"Zen Jean, right? Yuan Valve is looking forward to this day, but I'm afraid it's not a day or two! Do you say that Yuan Valve is very stupid, it is not appropriate to put the family for tens of millions of years, and he has to fight for that thankless position! Li Ming sneered.

With the background of Yuan Valve, as long as he retreats into the background with peace of mind, then he can survive for tens of millions of years. can be mixed in, and it seems that it was split into two factions, Yuan Shu and Yuan Shao, and as a result, with the fall of the two, the Yuan valve gradually declined.

After the Battle of Guandu, it seems that Cao Cao was cheaper, so that he really has the foundation to dominate the world.

"You don't understand!" Xun Biao shook his head, "Once you become a human monarch, you will naturally have the blessing of national luck, and this luck will benefit future generations. As for the risk, for the gate valve, it is just a sacrifice of a side descendant! ”

As soon as Xun Biao said that, Li Ming seemed to understand, no wonder the Li family in Longxi would recognize Li Shimin as a disciple of the Li family, and the Yang family would actually come forward to establish a Sui Dynasty. With the eyes of the family gatekeepers, can't they see how painful it is to be an emperor? As a result, I threw myself into it without hesitation, and there were not enough benefits, of course, it was impossible!

"The other thing is the inner money!" Xun Biao continued, "Most of them are indeed private collections of the royal family, but isn't there a part of it that is fed back to the family? The power of the whole country feeds back to the family, and its wealth can be imagined. How much money was invested before, after the children of the family ascended the throne, they returned it tenfold and hundredfold, and even had the right to dominate the exercises and martial arts above the prefectural level, how many people do you think can withstand such a temptation?! ”

"The Xun clan doesn't plan to fight?" Li Ming looked at Xun Biao.

"Haha, since the Xun clan respected Confucianism in the Han Dynasty, there is no possibility of ascending to the throne. The scholars would not agree, and the children of Confucianism would not allow the orthodox heirs of Legalism to ascend the throne. So we can only retreat into the background, but because of this, the emperors of all dynasties will trust us, and if you think about it, it's not bad! Xun Biao smiled, and he could hear the unwillingness, but the matter had come to this point, so he was naturally helpless.

"Okay, so Yuan Valve is bound to make a move, how do you think they will make a move?" Li Ming felt that the topic had been crooked.

"Instigating the infighting between He Jin and the eunuchs, and then taking advantage of the fisherman, Yuan Valve's background is good, but it is still a bit tricky to make a move, and he wants to get benefits, and he hopes to get fame, which is a contradiction in itself. In our opinion, Yuan Valve is actually a half-monarch, with the potential to become a king, but whether he has the destiny to become a king or not is still two words. Xun Biao sneered.

If you really want to say that, it seems that this is really the case, whether it is Yuan Shao or Yuan Shu, they are all goods who want to die to save face and suffer crimes. I have to sigh, Xun's eyes are quite accurate!

At the same time, in the Hanzhong Royal Mansion of Hanzhong County, Liu Ting had received the news more than a month ago, when Liu Hong had just died. It's not just news, it's a huge fortune.

"Do you mean to give me the power to assist my brother?" Liu Ting said a little dejectedly, he is already eighteen years old, he is like a gentleman, and he is also a beautiful man who kills both men and women.

In front of him at this moment, there was a box, which, judging by its length, should be a sword box.

"Zhongxing Sword, I didn't expect you to give me this sword that entrusts you with your ideals......" Liu Ting picked up the sword and muttered.
