"Go down, all of you. Also, after dawn, go to the palace and report the matter to the regular attendants. Jian Shuo waved his hand and turned away, his face becoming a little pale.

"Yes." The four eunuchs respectfully retreated. Although there were a lot of things they wanted to ask, and they wanted to ask what to do next, they noticed that Jian Shuo's mood was not high, and they dared to ask more questions, and stuffed all the questions back into their minds.

Jian Shuo's mood is indeed not high, and it can even be called frightened and angry. He didn't expect that He Jin would start so quickly and so ruthlessly. After the failure of the first assassination, a more ruthless second assassination was immediately arranged, and the assassination was successful, killing Song Dian, Cao Jie, Feng Xu, and Xia Yun!

Tonight, if he hadn't been prepared for it and Li Ru had brought someone to help, he would have been really dangerous. It is also possible that like the four Song Dian, they died at the hands of the assassins.

He also empathized with the deaths of the four Song Dians. Although they are usually among the ten permanent servants, from time to time, they will fight in secret. But at this critical time, the entire Ten Permanent Servants are one. One is prosperous, and one is lost.

In the past, when they were impeached by those ministers and admonished directly, no matter how much dirt they had in private, everyone would temporarily put aside their grievances and work together to kill the minister who didn't know whether he was alive or dead. Whoever wants them to die, they let them die, leaving him to be doomed and pay for the choices they make. At that time, the ten permanent servants were also one.

Now, four of the ten permanent servants have died. Although outsiders call them the Ten Attendants, in fact, there are not only ten of them, but twelve of them. Now four people have died, and there are eight left.

But how many more people will die? Who else will die at the hands of He Jin? How many more times will this happen? Even the palace is not safe anymore, where is the safe place in the entire Luoyang City? Jian Shuo remembered that until now, the missing Zhang Rang, they have not been found. The Yulin Army was dispatched to look for it, but it still found nothing, but how could a person suddenly disappear without a trace? Or in an important place like the Imperial Palace.

Jian Shuo is not at ease, even the Yulin Army is not at ease, all he can trust is himself, and his cronies and soldiers, so he came to the Xiyuan Army. Unlike the others, he can only huddle in the palace, counting on the thick palace walls and the protection of the Yulin Army. He still had a choice, so he did not hesitate to choose the Xiyuan Army, which he was very familiar with in the past month or two.

Now it seems that what he did was extremely right, with some twists and turns, but it was not so dangerous, at least whoever wanted to do it to him, he still had the power to strike. He's not so easy to kill!

But the current situation makes Jian Shuo very uneasy and deeply worried. If the prince argues that there is no death, there is no "natural" death, then their plan will not be able to be implemented smoothly. The first phase of the plan failed, and the palace maids and eunuchs disappeared, and he also didn't believe that they were gone. The biggest possibility is that the plan failed, and the palace maids and eunuchs sent were all controlled.

Originally, what he discussed with Zhang Rang and Zhao Zhong was that after the death of the prince, he would hold His Majesty's edict and support the prince's association to ascend the throne. After the death of the eldest son, it is natural that the next prince will ascend the throne as the emperor, otherwise the purity of the throne will not be maintained.

It's a pity that no matter how well they thought about it, they didn't succeed.

It's hard to do anything now. It was impossible for the ministers of the Manchu Dynasty, the empress, and the general He Jin to allow the prince to ascend the throne. Not only is it impossible, but it is also possible to take the opportunity to eradicate them.

Those ministers, for themselves and the other lieutenants, are very clear about their hatred. As long as there is an opportunity, the ministers will not hesitate to pounce on them and tear them apart.

So the remaining way...

Jian Shuo closed his eyes and thought, his whole mind was intertwined, making him a little irritable. He forcibly calmed down, and at the moment of life and death, if he messed up again, he would definitely die faster.

"That's right." A flash of inspiration flashed in his mind, and Jian Shuo thought of it.

Kill He Jin! As long as He Jin is killed, then they will be in the court, and the biggest obstacle will be gone. When the time comes, with His Majesty's edict, let the Prince's Association ascend the throne, who will dare to stop it?

Whoever dares to come out, the sword in his hand and the soldiers under his command are not just for decoration. Anyway, as long as He Jin is dead, which ones jump out, how many jump out, he will kill and kill! Use a killing word to deal with it.

As for Yuan Shao and Cao Cao, these two of his great enemies in the Xiyuan Army, the two people who have always opposed him. When they enter, they will no longer have a big tree to shelter, and when the time comes, they will not knead it, but how to knead it?

Thinking about it, Jian Shuo had a smile on his face. The smile had not yet fully bloomed, and suddenly froze and disappeared.

The question is, how did he kill He Jin? How to transfer the guards around He Jin and let him be alone and step into the place of death?

This is a question, Jian Shuo began to ponder.

The sky is slowly brightening. Throughout the night, many people did not sleep, many people could not sleep, and many people were woken up in their sleep.

In the market in Luoyang City, many people are talking about the flames in the middle of the night. Some of the people hid in their houses, and when they looked out through the window paper, they could still see the light of the fire in the distance, so they added fuel to the fire, and began to paint what he thought to be the truth.

In the evening, the four eunuchs who wanted to go to the palace to summon the news, but were prevented from entering the palace. Once again, they came to the palace gate, and this time the soldiers of the Yulin Army did not stop them and let them in.

"A group of grasshoppers after autumn, I want to see how you jump at this time." On the palace wall, Liu Xuan looked down and saw the four eunuchs who rushed into the palace gate.

He didn't care about what happened outside the palace, probably looking at the four eunuchs rushing forward, it wouldn't be a good thing, and it would not be a good thing for the ten permanent servants. I came last night, and after being blocked back, I appeared when the palace door was opened in the early morning.

It's a pity, no matter how much they struggle, in Liu Xuan's opinion, it's the same. From the time when Zhang Rang was locked up by him and the princes of the Beacon Fire Opera, all the plans of the ten permanent servants were doomed, no matter how deep and secret they were, they could only fail.

He doesn't have much ambition, and although he is essentially a player, Liu Xuan still has no interest in becoming an emperor. That's too tiring, for a person like him who regards responsibility more than life, being an emperor is not much different from looking for death.

Guarding the palace under his feet, this palace city, he was already very tired, so tired that he didn't know when he would be able to take off the burden on his body. Real players like them are troublesome, the higher their status, the better their status, and the greater the restrictions they will be. Just like him, he is a relative of the Han family, a close minister of the Son of Heaven, and the commander of the Han Yulin Army, this status is high, is his status good?

Tall, good. For many players, it is probably the happiest thing, and it doesn't take much effort to appear, and as soon as it appears, it is immediately above 10,000 people, out of reach.

Happy? Happy or not?

For the incompetent, this is indeed something to be happy and rejoice in. This is not the case for Liu Xuan, his halberd, which has not drunk blood for too long, reflects the brilliance of the sun and moon in the palace day after day, guarding this palace city and guarding this decadent dynasty.

But he can't end it. He must dutifully protect the palace, and if he wants to be freed, except that the emperor removes him as the commander of the Yulin Army, another one is three years later. Finally, there was a foreign enemy attacking, capturing the palace, and he was killed in battle. It's just that the last condition for liberation is real death, and after he dies, if he wants to start over, he will no longer be this Liu Xuan.

Looking up at the newborn sun in the east, Liu Xuan squinted. His hands still have some itching, so he chose a path that can stop itching.

Go and go, even if you die in battle.

In the palace.

The eunuch who summoned the interrogation had just left, and Guo Sheng immediately stood up, his face full of anxiety and cold sweat.

Four people, four people, all assassinated in the last night! Whether it is Song Dian, Feng Xu, or the other two, there is a slight difference between him and him, but it is still about the same. Now that they are all dead, doesn't it mean that as long as he leaves the palace, he will face assassination at any time and end up in the same fate?

"What to do, what to do..."Pacing back and forth, faster and faster, faster and faster, Guo Sheng's right hand was clenched into a fist, and he kept beating it in the palm of his left hand.

Anxious, thorns in the back. Thinking that he might die like them, Guo Sheng couldn't calm down, and he couldn't accept that fate. He has not yet enjoyed his glory and wealth, and at the same time there are so many gold, silver and jewels waiting for him to spend, how can he die casually!

"No way!" Gritting his teeth and his red eyes, Guo Sheng's eyes showed a little madness.

Can't sit still! Absolutely not!

Talk to someone else? No, no, no matter how much you negotiate, it's useless. Even if they want to mobilize the Yulin Army to protect their safety, there is no possibility, and the current commander of the Yulin Army, Liu Xuan, will not give any face.

It's okay not to leave the palace during this time. But Guo Sheng also felt that it was not safe in the palace, Zhang Rang was missing, and there was news for no reason for some reason, how could he stay in the palace with peace of mind?

Who knows if it will be him who will disappear next time?

The palace is not safe, the outside of the palace is not safe, Guo Sheng thought about it, and suddenly felt that the world was so big that there was no place for him. There is no place where it is safe for him.

It's not in Luoyang City, it's not in the palace, that's okay. But he was in Luoyang City, and even more so in the palace, and when he walked out of the palace, he didn't know how many pairs of eyes were staring at him. In such a situation, if you want to get out of Luoyang City, there may not be any at all!

Stay, stay. Walk, can't leave. Guo Sheng really didn't know what to do, so he was as anxious as an ant on a hot pot, a matter of life and death, and he couldn't calm down.

"To Jian Shuo?" Muttering to himself, as soon as the thought appeared, Guo Sheng immediately denied it.

"No, no. Even if Jian Shuo is willing to send some soldiers to protect me, it will certainly not be too many. And when the real danger happens, those soldiers will definitely protect him first, and it won't be me. ”

"So what to do?"

This doesn't work, that doesn't work, Guo Sheng didn't know what to do, and his heart became a mess. No matter what he thinks, which choice he makes, he feels insecure.

As for the others? Hehe, he can't care about it himself, and there is no way to care about other people's lives and deaths.

Taking a few deep breaths and forcing his brain to calm down, Guo Sheng began to think about who could shelter him and accept him at this time. Finally, he found it, it was the queen, Queen He!

He is actually a fellow villager with He Jin and Queen He. Because of this relationship, in the palace, Guo Sheng and Empress He are very close, compared to other Zhongchang attendants, he not only has the trust of His Majesty the Emperor, but also has the trust of the Empress Mother.

Guo Sheng didn't expect that this choice at that time would bring him a turnaround now. His Majesty's path is broken, and he still has the path of the Empress to go, and no one else has a way like him.

However, Guo Sheng suddenly thought of the plan planned by Zhang and Zhao Zhong. After being recognized, does Queen He know about it?

If he didn't know, he would be fooled. But if he knows, he wants to be confused, it's not that simple. At the beginning, His Majesty favored Wang Meiren, and after Queen He found out, she directly poisoned Wang Meiren!

At the same time, he regarded the prince born by Wang Meiren, and the prince association was a thorn in the eye. For the safety of the Prince's Association, His Majesty handed over the Prince's Association to the care of the Queen Mother after the Prince's Association was born. As the Prince's Association grows bigger and bigger, His Majesty also loves the Prince's Association more and more, but even so, no matter how much he loves it, His Majesty must be ruthless to send it out of the palace and raise it outside the palace for the safety of the Prince's Association.

Queen He is not an easy woman. Compared with many men, Guo Sheng is more afraid, and what he is afraid of is a woman like Queen He.

For the sake of the prince's debate, Queen He did everything, so they teased the head of Queen He's heart and soul baby Wang Zibian, and wanted to kill him, what kind of storm would they usher in! Would Empress Ho possibly forgive them? Do you want to let go of the Ten Permanent Servants?

No way. Even if His Majesty is still awake now, he may not be able to save them, not to mention that His Majesty's body is so weak that no matter what tonic is used, he is skinny now.

His eyes rolled, Guo Sheng had already decided. That's right, you can't hesitate when it's time to choose, you must choose decisively. He's going to live! Sell the others and he will live!

As long as they can survive and hug a thigh again, what are Zhao Zhong and them? Without these people secretly competing with him for power and profit, maybe he would live more freely!

After a pause, Guo Sheng opened the door and walked out. He is going to cry now, crying about the wolf ambitions of Zhao Zhong and Zhang Rang and other rebellious ministers and thieves!
