Chapter 56: One Step Away (I)
Yuan Shao led 5,000 elite soldiers at this time, all wearing scale armor, holding a cold spear, with a twenty-forged shouhuan knife hanging on his left waist, a small crossbow on his right waist, and a round shield behind his back, as if it was the highest configuration in the Han army today, and the team of 5,000 people set off from the barracks and went straight to the imperial city.

And in the palace at this moment, Jian Shuo, who planned to keep the news of Emperor Ling's death and then make some arrangements to promote Liu Xie as the emperor, did not know that Yuan Shao had led the army to approach the palace at this time, but fortunately, Jian Shuo thought of using the form of military advice when he was making plans, so he replaced the guards in the palace with his loyal subordinates in the Xiyuan army early. It's just that what will happen when they meet the five thousand people who are the most well-equipped of the Han at this time?
Jian Shuo concealed Zhang Rang and Guo Sheng from Zhang Rang and Guo Sheng in the matter of making an edict privately, but Jian Shuo also asked everyone to help persuade some ministers of the DPRK and China, after all, Liu Xie is not without opportunities, because Emperor Ling also likes Liu Xie relatively more on weekdays, and if Liu Xie is called the emperor, it is also the best result for the ten permanent servants.
Just as the Ten Standing Servants were discussing the lobbying of the officials in the room at this time, a guard of the West Garden Army suddenly rushed in and knelt down in front of Jian Shuo.
"Commander Jian, there are 5,000 soldiers and horses from outside the palace and the palace to break into the palace, and the brothers are about to be unable to stop it."
Jian Shuo was shocked: "Who is the army?" Is the assault on the palace a rebellion? ”
The guard said: "The leader is Yuan Shao, who is under the general's account, shouting that he will sweep the court and punish him, and the general is also following behind the army." ”
When Zhang Rang heard this, he immediately got up and said to everyone: "Quick, follow me to see the queen." ”
After speaking, without delay, he left immediately, and everyone hurriedly followed.
Jian Shuo stayed where he was, his eyes widened in disbelief, his eyes were already filled with anger: "It's almost! It's almost possible to kill He Jinli and Liu Xie as emperors, but he has to ...... at this time."
"No!"
"I still have a chance, as long as I kill He Jin now, yes, kill He Jin."
Jian Shuo kept saying that I still had a chance and killed He Jin, as if he was in a demon.
In fact, everyone knows that as long as He Jinyi attacks the palace gate and establishes Liu Bian as the emperor, he Jian Shuo is the first person to take it to sacrifice to the sky, even if He Hou comes forward to save the ten permanent servants, it is impossible to keep Jian Shuo, there is no doubt about this! So Jian Shuo has been forced into a corner now, and a boulder is rolling towards him, either Jian Shuo will knock down this wall, the sea and the sky will be wide, or the stone will knock Jian Shuo down, and it will be a hundred.
The rabbit is anxious and bites, the dog is anxious and jumps the wall, Jian Shuo is now forced to a dead end and has to hurry.
Poor Changle Palace Gate, within a hundred years, there were two early encounters in war, the last time Dou Wu led the army to attack the palace gate, Jian Shuo was still a little eunuch, watching the Changle Palace was smashed open at that time, the ruins of the wall, the flames were full of flames, the two sides of the sergeants under the door rushed desperately to kill, the blades intersected, and the blood washed the court, the scene in front of him was so similar to that time.
Jian Shuo rushed forward in stride, the battle decades ago was won by the eunuchs, so today, the result is still the same!
Jian Shuo snatched a soldier's bow and arrow, climbed to a high place, looked at it with hatred, and found He Jin in bright clothes in the sea of people, and immediately opened his bow and arrows, and the arrows flew towards He Jin like a meteor catching the moon.
Although Jian Shuo is a eunuch, he was born with a strong body, has a martial strategy, often studies martial arts in the palace, and is also a first-class good player, otherwise Emperor Ling would not have handed over the Xiyuan Army to his command.
"Ahh The dog thief looks at the arrow! ”
He Jin followed the prestige, and saw Jian Shuo's figure standing on the palace wall from a distance, only to see a cold arrow in front of him, the speed was so fast that he couldn't dodge at all, and he disappeared in a blink of an eye just when he saw it, fortunately, the distance was too far Jian Shuo couldn't shoot, the arrow was attached to the helmet and crossed over, He Jin's ears could still hear the sound of the arrows rubbing against the helmet, and he broke out in a cold sweat, only to hear the heart puff and puff and jump fast, and was almost frightened by this arrow.
"Someone! Protect me! ”
"Someone! Protect me! ”
He Jin, who had just been in close contact with the Grim Reaper, immediately shouted regardless of his image, and called dozens of sergeants with shields to surround him, looking at Jian Shuo cautiously.
"Soldiers, kill, each head for a hundred hanging money!"
Yuan Shao saw that He Jin was attacked here, and hurriedly ordered the sergeants to hurry up and attack, so that the guards were defeated and retreated, and they were about to lose the palace gate.
Jian Shuo saw that he couldn't kill He Jin with an arrow, and saw that the guards at this time were completely unable to stop He Jin's army, gritted his teeth fiercely, turned around and fled the battlefield.
Zhang Rang and others had already come to Queen He at this time, and Zhang Rang, who was about to explain the matter, suddenly found that Jian Shuo was not there, and only after asking did he know that Jian Shuo led the troops to block He from entering.
"Bastard!" Zhang Rang was furious: "We all died because of Jian Shuo!" ”
The crowd asked.
Zhang Rang said: "Now only Jian Shuo can save us when he dies, and then cry to He Hou, He Hou will be soft-hearted and will save my life, but I think He Jin will not give up, I will wait for this catastrophe first, and then discuss." ”
Then he said to Guo Sheng: "You go and kill Jian Shuo quickly, Jian Shuo's martial arts are strong, and it is difficult for us and other disabled people to match, you are the closest to Jian Shuo on weekdays, he will not guard against you, and you must not let Jian Shuo live." ”
Guo Sheng also knew that it was now a time for his life, so he promised with a serious expression: "Okay, I will kill Jian Shuo." After saying that, he picked up the knife and left.
"Soldiers! Come with me! ”
At this time, the gate of Changle Palace has been broken, and the rebellious guards were all killed by Yuan Shao, and Yuan Shao, who broke through the city gate, was about to lead the troops to exterminate the eunuchs and complete the great cause of the family handed over to him by Yuan Kui, who knew that at this time, He Jin suddenly rushed up and stopped Yuan Shao.
"Primatim! The big thing is important, and the throne is right. ”
When Yuan Shao heard this, he couldn't hold back the frustration in his heart that he was only one step away from success, collected the generals, and followed He Jin towards the Chongde Palace.
Chongde Hall is the place where hundreds of civil and military officials go to court, and He Jin leads hundreds of officials to enter one after another, standing respectfully in their respective positions.
He Jin stood still in front of the hundred officials, signaled the hundred officials not to be confused, and said to one of the guards: "Go and invite all the ministers to come to the court." ”
At this time, He Jin only brought officials belonging to himself, and they were all the forces of the DPRK and China that belonged to his lineage, of course, they had been almost infiltrated by Yuan Kui. However, the matter of canonization is very important, and it cannot be decided by He Jin alone or the dozens of people present, and it must wait until all the officials are present before the ceremony can be carried out.
Suddenly, the rest of the hundred officials arrived at the Chongde Palace, and along the way, they looked at the corpses of soldiers everywhere, as well as the people who had been waiting in the hall for a long time.
He Jin saw that the number of people had arrived, and said loudly to the crowd he brought: "Master Yuan, please go and ask for Your Majesty's coffin." ”
The person He Jin called was Yuan Kui, He Jin specially sent someone to visit Yuan Kui before the incident, and this time the canonization was a win-win situation for the two families, and Yuan Kui was naturally happy to participate.
Yuan Kui stood up and exchanged a few polite words with He Jin, saying something to thank the general He Jin for his appreciation, praising He Jin's loyal actions and other words, and then confessed and left, and went to the Palace of Nourishing Heart to welcome the coffin of the emperor.
Watching Yuan Kui leave, He Jin turned around and said to everyone: "Everyone, wait a minute, I will personally invite the prince." ”
Of course, this prince is talking about Liu Bian.
He Jin hated in his heart when he went to Liu Xuan's place, and the canonization of the emperor must choose a person of high moral integrity to assist the prince in the ceremony, and now among these people in the court, only Yuan Kui is the only one who is really qualified, Lu Zhi is of course more sufficient, but unfortunately he can't find it in seclusion, if Zheng Xuan is here, then there will be all the people, one person will go to greet the coffin, one person will pick up the prince, I will wait in the palace to preside, but when Zheng Xuan was recruited as an official, Zheng Xuan actually ran away, and now he can only let himself go to meet him in person, Moreover, the weight of a great general is not enough to welcome the coffin of the first emperor, and it is still because of his kinship with Liu Bian that he is barely qualified to welcome the prince who is about to become the emperor.
After a while, I saw Yuan Kui solemnly walking into the main hall, followed by several attendants carrying the coffin of the Spirit Emperor, and everyone either looked sad or stood solemnly to express their respect for the Son of Heaven.
Yuan Kui was wearing a black mourning dress and a black turban at this time, standing on the right side of the dragon chair in the main hall, and the attendants also followed Yuan Kui's guidance and placed the coffin of the Spirit Emperor beside Yuan Kui, standing still.
"Welcome-Emperor-Son-"
As soon as He Jin walked into the main hall, he immediately dragged out his voice and shouted in the main hall.
The hundred officials immediately scattered on both sides to get out of the way of the road at the entrance of the main hall, bowed down together, and bowed to the road that came out to give the new emperor a vacant visit.
He Jin took Liu Bian's hand and walked into the main hall, every step was powerful, calm, showing that as the emperor's calmness and control, he Jin took a step forward, and then stopped, Liu Bian followed a step behind, and then stopped, He Jin waited until Liu Bian stopped and continued to take a step forward, Liu Bian continued to follow, when the two walked forward step by step, He Jin motioned Liu Bian to raise his head and look at his ministers on both sides of the road, in order to show that he accepted the submission of everyone, and finally He Jin led Liu Bian to the left side of the throne.
"Judges, please." The officials who saluted on both sides stood up and returned to their original formation, and Yuan Kui stepped forward to give a eulogy: "All the people are unfortunate, the first emperor has died........................ The merit is towering to the heavens and the earth, and Ze is by all the people! ”
He Jin put down Liu Bian's hand, bent down to change it to a helping action, and helped Liu Bian to the front of the dragon chair, and at the same time Yuan Kui also bowed down to help Liu Bian's right hand, and the two of them held one of Liu Bian's hands and let Liu Bian sit on the dragon chair, indicating that the two would become Liu Bian's right-hand man to assist Liu Bian.
"Today, the crown prince Liu Ban has taken over the responsibility of the ancestors, that is, the emperor! Hundreds of officials visit the shrine! ”
"Meet my emperor!"
All the officials bowed out.
