Chapter XVI: The Struggle for the Throne

"Jingsheng, what's going on? Didn't you say that Your Majesty's condition has improved, why did he suddenly return to heaven? ”

Liu Biao looked around cautiously, and saw that there were no outsiders, so he whispered in Hong Ji's ear: "There are rumors in the palace that what Your Majesty has done over the years has angered the heavens, and the heavens have been warned. ”

"Ground moving?"

"At the time of the hour, some residential areas and parts of the palace in Luoyang suddenly shook......"

Liu Biao, who still wanted to say something, saw a car and horse approaching in the distance, stopped silent, and stood in front of the palace gate.

Seeing this, Hong Ji looked at the place where the carriage and horse came, and saw that it was Situ Wang Yun, with the idea that there were more friends and it was easier to walk, Hong Ji stepped forward to say hello.

"Lord Situ, we are really destined! Why don't you go into the palace together? ”

Wang Yun, who had just gotten out of the car, heard someone greeting him, and raised a smile with his sage's values and outlook on life that he had friends from afar.

It's just that when he saw that the person who came was Hong Ji, he inexplicably had a kind of disgust from the heart, if he didn't have a great Confucian cultivation, he would have to point at Hong Ji's nose and scold, although he didn't know what to scold.

"Lord Situ, but you're not feeling well?"

There is still a lot of respect for the old man Hongji, after all, respecting the old and loving the young is the traditional virtue of the Chinese nation.

"Although I saw Hong Ji in the past, although he was a little vulgar and unsightly, he was not so disgusted, could it be that His Majesty's death made me nervous?" Wang Yun, who muttered to himself, forcibly endured the MMP in his heart and said: "I won't work for the general, Xiao Lao'er is a little upset because of His Majesty's death, so it's better to go alone." ”

Seeing Wang Yun's refusal, Hong Ji didn't say anything: "That Situ before!" ”

"Well, farewell!"

Wang Yun, who entered the palace first, was very confused: "I am not proud of my achievements, and I am Your Majesty's favorite minister, and I have a lot of respect for me, why am I always ...... Always...... Always look at him unhappy? ”

Wang Yun said that he was messy.

Not long after Wang Yun left, a petty official came.

"I've seen a great general!"

"It seems that I don't have a chance to listen to Liu Biao's words today." Hong Ji, who thought so, also gave up the idea of staying at the palace gate, and said casually: "Let's enter the palace together!" ”

The little official was overjoyed when he heard this: "Thank you for the general's love!" ”

"General Zhenguo has arrived!"

Hong Ji looked at the small yellow door announced loudly in surprise, and didn't say anything because of the different actions from usual, but before the person entered the main hall, he heard a noise.

"Your Majesty has left an edict, stating that the prince will succeed to the throne, but this edict was found by the queen and the concubines from the bed where His Majesty died, why is the general still suspicious?"

Queen He, who was sitting on the right side of the dragon seat, couldn't help but smile wryly when she heard this, and she couldn't wait to smoke a big-eared melon seed for herself, "It's really cheap, just hug Liu Hong and cry, and go to the place where you died to see what it is?" Even if the feet are cheap, the hands are still cheap, and when I saw a roll of yellow silk silk, I picked it up. I thought it was an edict left by His Majesty to Bian'er, and I was anxious to let the good sisters who knew how to read read it for me. Alas, the past is unbearable, and the obesity is ......"

"The Empress Dowager's words are wrong!"

At this time, He Jin also knew that he couldn't shrug it, once he shrugged, the glory and wealth would be a thing of the past.

"Oh...... What is the general's opinion? Dong, who has been promoted from the Queen Mother to the Queen Mother, said sharply.

"Your Majesty has no virtue!"

As soon as this remark came out, the audience was in an uproar.

He Jin ignored the thoughts of the people below, and continued: "So that the anger of the heavens and the resentment of the people, the grievances of the millions of people in the Yellow Turban Rebellion were quelled by my brother, I thought that the world was stable, but I didn't want the anger of the heavens but it was not human power to protect it, and Your Majesty was actually punished by God to death. Such a death method is enough to prove that God intends to set up another virtuous new monarch. ”

In this era of superstition, the supernatural power of earthquakes has always been regarded as the masterpiece of heaven, and now Liu Hong was inexplicably shocked to death by the earthquake, which is enough to make people think about it.

"The general's words are what a minister should say?"

"The sage Huo Guang should be decided, abolish the promiscuous and unscrupulous Changyi King Liu He, welcome the Han Xuan Emperor Liu Ai, and it is a good story, now I just say this after His Majesty passes away, why can't I?"

"You...... You ......"

Empress Dowager Dong was obviously angry.

At this time, the belated Hong Ji also entered the hall.

Everyone couldn't help but look at Hong Ji in unison.

Anyway, he was a man who pretended to be forced in front of a million army, and he didn't shrug at all, and calmly walked to He Jin and stood next to him.

"Your Majesty has no virtue and does not recognize it, so how can we recognize His Majesty's edict?"

The deafening and loud sound made the Empress Dowager Dong speechless.

After a long time, the Empress Dowager sneered: "What does the general mean?" ”

"Naturally, the eldest son of the emperor is the emperor! The primogeniture system is the law of heaven and earth for all ages, there is no doubt about it! ”

Empress Dowager Dong, a deep woman, can compare to He Jin's eloquence as a pig seller, but after all, she is not stupid enough to go home, so she decisively invited foreign aid.

"Hussar General, what do you think?"

"The sage has a saying: Monarchs, ministers, fathers, sons, Your Majesty promoted the general from a pig dealer to today's status, what the general said today, can you be right about the righteousness of this heaven and earth?"

He Jin couldn't help but stagnate when he heard this, Dong Zhong was right, even if Liu Hong was sorry for the world, he was not sorry for him.

Dong Chong was unforgiving, and continued to say loudly: "Your Majesty's merits and demerits are naturally commented by later generations, as long as we are courtiers, we only need to do our duty, and now Your Majesty is difficult to move, and the edict that should have been buried in the earth for a long time has been taken care of by heaven, and the fake hand Empress Dowager He has found it, isn't this a chance for God to give His Majesty a chance for his descendants to correct their previous shortcomings?" ”

Dong Chong's opening of this mouth, Empress Dowager He really wanted to die, and the ministers were even more discussed, obviously thinking that what Dong Chong said was reasonable.

Even He Jin couldn't think of a rebuttal for a while.

couldn't hold it on the field, and decisively assisted outside the field.

He Jin, who couldn't think of words to refute, said decisively: "Hong Ji, what do you have to say?" ”

Hong Ji, who was slapped by He Jin with his hand, came to his senses and looked at everyone in a daze.

Standing there, Hong Ji, who had time to think about his own affairs, didn't want to waste a little time, and kept thinking about why Liu Hongdu died, and the court eagle dog could not have completed this task, "Is it the end of the mission until the Han dies?" ”

Hong Ji, who just thought of this, was pulled back to his senses by He Jin, and said secretly: "It's over, I didn't listen to it just now!" ”

Looking at the people with different expressions, with many years of experience in the round, Hong Ji spoke: "I don't know what the opinions of the ministers are?" ”

Cai Yong glanced at his son-in-law quite unexpectedly, and secretly praised: "I didn't expect that he, a vulgar person, has quite small means." ”

Seeing that everyone was silent, Hong Ji smiled and said by name: "Lord Taiwei, I don't know what your Excellency's opinion is?" ”
