At this point today, in fact, everyone has understood that He Jin's general trend is unstoppable, and the only one who can disgust him is only the Empress Dowager Dong, but the discerning people know that the Empress Dowager Dong will not have the strength to compete with He Jin anyway, which is also the fact that the ministers of the Manchu Dynasty did not have any reaction to the Empress Dowager Dong's installation of his own people, because this is just a futile and useless effort, He Jin will never let the Empress Dowager Dong become bigger, and it is impossible to accept the Empress Dowager Dong to thin his power.

And Xu Ji naturally saw this clearly, so he also clearly knew that the situation in the Dao was irreparable, and Liu Wei once again enabled Zhang Rang and the party to embark on Liu Hong's old road, so I am afraid that this big Han country will never be recovered, although Xu Ji originally had expectations for Liu Wei, but judging from the current situation, even the wise emperor has nothing to do about it. Now the time has come for the Han to not be broken and not stand, and Xu Ji does not want to be annihilated with this rotten Han.

Xu Ji was preparing to leave Luoyang, and the changes in the court were really changing day by day, and the battle between He Jin and Empress Dowager Dong became increasingly fierce, even to the point where they could no longer tolerate the existence of the other party. And Liu Wei wisely chose to retreat into the background, he had no power in his hands, and He Jin and Empress Dowager Dong didn't care about Liu Wei's attitude at all. And with the help of Zhang Rang and others, Empress Dowager Dong and He Jin also fought evenly for a while.

But Zhang Rang knew very well that this was only temporary, and once He Jin reacted and used force again, neither he nor Empress Dowager Dong would have absolutely no room for resistance, so Zhang Rang was very anxious. For Zhang Rang, his life is still insignificant, but Xu Ji's delay in seeing movement makes Zhang Rang a little uneasy. But Zhang Rang couldn't contact Xu Ji, and once someone grabbed the handle, he would inevitably implicate Xu Ji. This defeats Zhang Rang's purpose.

The only thing that could comfort Zhang Rang was that although Xu Ji did not leave, he did not participate in the chaotic situation in Luoyang, and Xu Ji successfully allowed himself to hide himself in this chaotic situation. This certainly reduces the risk greatly, but it's not a foolproof solution. Once He Jin is embarrassed, Xu Ji is still just a fish on the knife. Zhang Rang can only believe in Xu Ji now, and his current goal is only to stir up the situation even more.

Empress Dowager Dong's more and more unconventional actions have completely angered He Jin, but Liu Hong's death is too short, and he doesn't dare to use force, so he decided to discuss with his sister how to deal with the trouble of Empress Dowager Dong.

Of course, Empress He was also very dissatisfied with Empress Dowager Dong's wanton transgression, but as far as Empress He herself was concerned, it was almost impossible for her to confront Empress Dowager Dong, who was Liu Hong's biological mother, and she was only Liu Hong's surviving person. Even if there is foreign aid, who has a higher status in the palace is not determined by these. This is also the reason why Queen He has never come forward to stop it, although she is dissatisfied in the past few days. It's not that I don't want to, but I can't.

But this is obviously not the answer He Jin wants, he put forward a not very smart but somewhat scoundrel idea, since the Empress Dowager Dong is in the court to listen to the government, why can't Empress He? Of course, this is not a good idea, this is extremely bad reputation, but for Queen He, she actually can't see these drawbacks. For Empress He, this was indeed one of the few things she could do at the moment, so she immediately agreed to it.

And the development of things is indeed as expected, as always, the Empress Dowager Dong sat down beside Liu Wei early and waited for the ministers to ask for affairs, and when Empress He also came to the main hall, the Empress Dowager Dong was stunned. It was precisely because of the arrival of Empress He that the Empress Dowager Dong's plan was destroyed. On this day, neither Empress Dowager Dong nor Empress He said a word, Empress Dowager Dong knew that no matter what she said, Empress He would inevitably stop her, and with the existence of He Jin, no matter what she said, it was useless. In that case, it would be better to say nothing.

And the reason why Empress He didn't say much was that everything was in control, and the purpose of her presence was just to restrict Empress Dowager Dong, and Empress He was just a commoner. Naturally, he doesn't have that kind of understanding of government politics. But I have to say that the arrival of Empress He did greatly restrict the actions of Empress Dowager Dong. It's just that this usefulness won't last too long, and today's lack of action by Empress Dowager Dong is just that she didn't expect the arrival of Empress He. But the coming day is long, how can Zhang Rang's party make He Jin's party so comfortable?

But Queen He is not such a stupid person. Today's restriction is just the first step, although He Jin's brain is not enough, there are always people under his command who are resourceful, so after Empress He retired from the court, she set up a banquet in her palace to invite Empress Dowager Dong to come and talk.

Of course, the so-called narrative is just an excuse, why did Empress He and Empress Dowager Dong sit down and talk about it like this? The interests of the two sides were already in conflict, and Empress Dowager Dong was naturally suspicious. However, after asking Zhang Rang's opinion, he still decided to go to the meeting, not to mention figuring out Empress He's intentions, at least to test He Jin's bottom line, which is the real purpose of Empress Dowager Dong.

However, as the saying goes, as the saying goes, there is no good banquet, there is no good banquet, and there should be precautions, although Empress Dowager Dong is confident that Queen He will not dare to mess around in the palace, but Queen He may not really dare to make any moves at this time. Of course, these will not be too superficial after all, the palace infighting has never been a war without swords, isn't this how Queen He's status came from?

When the Empress Dowager Dong came to Queen He's bedroom, the banquet had already been placed, and it could be seen that Queen He was attentive, the table was full of Empress Dowager Dong's favorite dishes on weekdays, and the two did not talk about the court after they sat down, but Queen He kept toasting. When the wine was half-drunk, Queen He got up again and raised her glass to get up and bow again: "We are all women, and it is not appropriate for us to participate in the government and politics." Because of his great power, thousands of clans were killed. Now we should live in the ninth fold; The major affairs of the imperial court, the ministers and elders discussed on their own, and the country was fortunate. Let me hear. ”

Empress Dowager Dong was originally in a good mood, and after hearing this, her mood instantly turned sharply, what is the identity of Queen He? dared to say this, so the Empress Dowager Dong changed color and said: "You killed the king beauty." Be jealous. Now rely on your son as the king, and your brother He Jin. Dare to talk nonsense! I have a hussar to cut off your brother's head, like a backhand! The anger in Empress Dowager Dong's heart has been fully revealed. Empress He's words are tantamount to threatening herself in the ups and downs, and now once Empress Dowager Dong loses power, she is afraid that what awaits her will be He Jin's butcher's knife, where is there any love to talk about?

Queen He is naturally not a graceful lady, and after hearing Empress Dowager Dong's answer, she was also furious and said: "I persuade you with good words, why should you be angry?" When Empress Dowager Dong heard this, she sneered and said, "What insight do you have about the junior Tugu of the Ru family?" After saying this, Queen He couldn't hold back the anger in her heart anymore, and she picked up the wine glass in her hand and wanted to throw it at the face of the Empress Dowager Dong. And it must be mentioned that Empress He and Empress Dowager Dong did not know that Zhang Rang was actually helping each other. Seeing that Zhang Rang thought that this was his own rescue, he was even more imposing, but Zhang Rang just said loudly at this time: "The two of you are a little safe, the palace still needs two people to preside over the overall situation, the first emperor's bones are not cold, and I hope the two of you will stop for a while." ”

This sentence calmed down the Empress Dowager Dong and Empress He, of course, the struggle within the palace walls cannot be spread outside, otherwise once the world learns that Liu Hong has died, the queen and the queen mother will fight for power in just a few days, and they don't know what kind of criticism Lu Dao will incur, so they will go down the donkey and return to the palace under the persuasion of Zhang Rang and others.

It's just that the more Queen He thinks about it, the more angry she becomes. Now that the Emperor of the Han Dynasty is his own son, the so-called mother is more expensive than her son, and now she is also the identity of the Queen Mother, where is there any need to be afraid of the old thing of the Empress Dowager Dong? Thinking of this, she was even more impatient with today's humiliation. So he summoned He into the palace to see her overnight. As soon as He Jin heard that his sister-in-law had summoned him overnight, he knew that something terrible had happened, so he naturally didn't dare to delay and hurried over.

After seeing He Jin, Queen He informed He Jin of Empress Dowager Dong's remarks, and He Jin was naturally furious. Originally, the hooks within the palace walls were all added to him, and he was not interested in managing them, but Empress Dowager Dong's sentence of "Tugu junior" violated He Jin's taboo. Although now the status is noble. But He Jin has always been secretive about his background in his heart, which has become He Jin's biggest taboo. Now Empress Dowager Dong's sentence makes He Jin feel contempt and insult, how can He Jin endure this kind of thing? After leaving that night, he immediately convened the Three Princes.

And these naturally did not hide from Xu Ji, the hero building naturally has eyeliner in He Jin's mansion, not to mention that He Jin has no intention of concealing this matter at all, and after knowing He Jin's actions, Xu Ji knew that the Empress Dowager Dong was only afraid that it would be over, and without Empress Dowager Dong involved, I am afraid that he would not be able to escape He Jin's deal, and Zhang Rang would definitely not be able to help him at that time. But Xu Ji still didn't find a chance to leave Luoyang for a while, and Yining was so sad that he almost washed his face with tears all day long, Xu Ji had to devote a lot of energy to take care of Yining's emotions, so there was no way.

So Xu Ji is still ready to wait and see for a while, at least He Jin has no leisure to take care of himself recently, and by the time He Jin finds him, Xu Ji may have left Luoyang, the land of right and wrong.

This night is destined to be unpeaceful, the wind and waves hidden under the calm are already gaining momentum, He Jin is the culprit who set off this wind and waves, the only thing Xu Ji can do is to try to stay away from the center of this wind and waves, as for who will suffer, it is no longer a problem for Xu Ji to consider.

In the early morning, Empress He and Empress Dowager Dong were still seated on both sides of Liu Bian, and a dispute last night naturally made the two not have a good color for each other, which was naturally extremely painful for Liu Bian, but fortunately, he had no power and the two did not find him. At this time, He Jin strode into the hall, which marked the official beginning of the early dynasty.

The eunuch beside Liu Wei finished speaking: "If there is something to do, play early, and there is nothing to retreat." Immediately after that, a person in the hall came out of the column and knelt on the ground and said, "Your Majesty, the minister has a book." Liu Wei looked around left and right, and saw that the two queen mothers didn't make any movements before he spoke: "Aiqing, but it's okay to talk about it." ”

A courtier in the palace said, "Empress Dowager Dong was originally a concubine, so it is not suitable to live in the palace for a long time, so she will still be relocated to the river." After all, Empress Dowager Dong is Liu Hong's biological mother after all, and she is Liu Wei's grandmother, so she told her in front of Empress Dowager Dong that she should not interfere in court politics. Empress Dowager Dong was naturally furious, and he didn't know what He Jin meant in his heart: "Rebel, dare to do this?" How much benefit did your general give you as a lackey to make you act so recklessly? ”

He Jin was furious when he heard this: "The Queen Mother said carefully, this is the official book of the court. How can He Jin control it? The Queen Mother didn't know what to do back then? Of course, these words could not have been thought of by He Jin, but they were memorized by He Jin of the Three Princes. But where did the Manchu civil and military know? As soon as he heard the name of Empress Lu, his face immediately changed, obviously he thought it was true. Empress Dowager Dong was blocked by He Jin's words. She forcibly defended herself: "The mourning family is worried that His Majesty is still young and easy to be confused, how can he come to the heart of Empress Lu? Could the general be slandering the mourning family? ”

And He Jin just smiled contemptuously: "The Queen Mother awarded Dong Chong the post of hussar general, but Dong Chong has no merit, isn't this move intended to interfere in politics?" As soon as these words came out, Empress Dowager Dong had no place to justify, He Jin was a righteous general, above the three dukes, and it was naturally within the scope of arranging these official positions, but Empress Dowager Dong was a person in the harem after all, and she was originally not allowed to interfere in court politics. And He Jin is not finished, and continued: "Even His Majesty is young, and there is still a biological mother and Jin. Why worry about the Queen Mother? Could it be that they look down on my brother and sister? ”

Where did Empress Dowager Dong dare to say the word "yes" in the full hall of civil and military affairs? Now this situation is irretrievable no matter how the Empress Dowager Dong responds, so the Empress Dowager Dong has no choice but to remain silent, which is tantamount to giving up the struggle. Empress Dowager Dong knew very well that after He Jin said this, she would have no chance. Rather than being a laughing stock, it is better to stop there, and the result is nothing more than moving away from Luoyang, and for Empress Dowager Dong, she just wants to save her life.

But Empress Dowager Dong still thinks highly of He Jin's character, how can He Jin let go of such a hidden danger that may bring a threat to himself at any time? But that's all for later.

only said that after the Empress Dowager Dong accepted this result, Zhang Rang was shocked, without the Empress Dowager Dong in front, I am afraid that he would not be able to escape the catastrophe, and he knew how many ministers in the court were dissatisfied with him. So Zhang Rang immediately began to plan, he couldn't die for the time being, at least he had to buy more time for Xu Ji.

And now that there is no Empress Dowager Dong in front of her, what way can you avoid the disaster, Zhang Rang thought of a person. He is He Jin's younger brother He Miao, which is also interesting, Zhang Rang didn't look down on He Miao who was from a humble background and a gentleman. But now he still has to rely on He Miao to survive, which has to be said to be an extremely ironic thing. But Zhang Rang actually doesn't care about these so-called integrity, and the most important thing in his current plan is to be able to save his life. Zhang Rang's life's hopes were already pinned on Xu Ji, of course he couldn't let Xu Ji throw his life here.

Of course, in fact, Zhang Rang has another person who is extremely optimistic about Lu, that is Cao Cao, but compared to Cao Cao, it is obvious that Xu Ji needs his help more, and Xu Ji's experience makes Zhang Rang more resonant, regardless of his identity background, at least Xu Ji's ability far exceeds that of his peers, and even exceeds many high-ranking ministers, and Xu Ji is only sixteen years old, and the future is worth looking forward to, so in the end Zhang Rang chose Xu Ji instead of Cao Cao.

Now Xu Ji's immobility naturally made Zhang Rang a little uneasy, but he understood that Xu Ji was a person with extremely sharp vision, and if the two sides were in the same situation, Zhang Rang would not dare to say that he would definitely be able to make a better decision than Xu Ji, so Zhang Rang also made a firm decision to continue to delay time for Xu Ji.

Of course, this is just his own idea, and the rest of Duan Jue and the others are purely just trying to survive, and when it comes to these people, we have to mention that Guo Sheng, who killed Jian Shuo before, was not promoted by killing Jian Shuo, he died at the hands of Yuan Shao. Although Yuan Shao replied to He Jin that he was talking about manslaughter, how could Zhang Rang believe this statement, I am afraid that it was Yuan Shao's order, but Zhang Rang did not have too much waste of feelings for this kind of eating inside and outside of the steak.

On the same day, He Jin sent someone to send the Empress Dowager Dong to the land between the rivers, this is not the end, He Jin even ordered the Royal Forest Army to surround the hussar general's mansion where Dong Chong was located, claiming to be the seal of the hussar general, but who doesn't know He Jin's intentions? Empress Dowager Dong lost power and was forced to leave Luoyang, so Dong Chong naturally lost his support, and now he has been taken away from the position of hussar general, what can be the result of waiting for him except death?

Dong Chong also knew the result, although the soldiers under the Hussar General's Mansion also closed the door of the mansion and defended it, but Dong Chong knew that he had no skills to return to the sky, and now he had no choice but to die, and it was too late to arrange the future. In despair, Dong Zhong chose to kill himself, at the age of thirty-three.

And Dong Chong's family saw Dong Chong's self-slaughter, so they mourned and sent the seal ribbon out, and He Jin dismissed the soldiers, so the Empress Dowager Dong was completely wiped out, leaving an old woman, and the Empress Dowager Dong naturally couldn't make any big waves without the support of her family.

After Xu Ji learned about this, he could only sigh and say to Yi Ning beside him: "Poor Han family, more than 400 years, once you have a rest!" ”

But everything is just the beginning, and He Jin's ambitions go far beyond that. (To be continued......)
