It's night, Luoyang, the Imperial Palace.

"What to do? How could he die all at once? Is it because the medicine we have been using lately is too strong? ”

"The dosage has not changed, and we can only blame us for misestimating his physical condition, which made him die so early."

"The key is not his death, but what should we do when he dies?

We were just trying to confuse his mind so that we could control him, how could we have expected him to die so quickly!

Now that he is dead, how can we secure our position? ”

"Liu Bian is the son of Empress He, but he is He Jin's nephew, and he must not be allowed to ascend to the throne!

He Jin has always had many contradictions with us, if Liu Wei registers, then we will inevitably be killed by He Jin! ”

"Then it seems that Liu Xie can only be supported to ascend the throne."

"However, Liu Biannai is the eldest son......"

"There is nothing, now we may still have the final say, but if Liu Bian ascends the throne, we will all die without a place to bury!"

"Zhang Changshi! Why didn't you say a word? You have something to say! ”

"Yes, Zhang Changshi, this is a critical moment of life and death, why can you still be so calm?"

In an unknown palace in the Imperial Palace, ten figures gathered together, discussing with panicked and anxious expressions.

Hearing this, a figure in the middle sighed and said:

"Alas, what if you can't hold your breath? It only adds to the troubles.

But what you think is too simple, the reason why we were able to live freely in the past was because of him;

But now that he is gone, even if we support Liu Bian as emperor, then He Jin can still mobilize a large army to slaughter us under the pretext of not establishing an eldest son and forging a holy decree.

Therefore, our main task before this was not to think about who to make the emperor, but to think about how to save our lives first. ”

Everyone else was stunned, and after thinking about it carefully, it seemed that this was really the case.

One of them hurriedly asked:

"Does that Chang Chang have a way to deal with it?"

"He Jin is a great general, in charge of most of the army, and the only one in the dynasty who has the ability to fight against He Jin is Feng Wuji.

Therefore, I have sent a message to Feng Wuji, and asked him to lead the army to protect us well. ”

"Wind Wuji? This is a wonderful move, he has received our favors before, and it will be better to deal with He Jin and give him some benefits later.

However, it is good to say that Luoyang and the Revolving Gate Pass have our presence, but they can receive the army of Feng Wuji in;

But how would those local passes allow Feng Wuji to lead his army all the way through? ”

"Don't worry, I've thought about this for a long time. A few days ago, I had already sent someone to send the customs clearance document and the Holy Decree to Feng Wuji. ”

"It's still Zhang Changshi's thoughtfulness, but Feng Wuji is not easy to get along with.

What if he wants to climb on top of us after he has successfully cooked He Jin? ”

"This, but it's also a problem......"

"Why don't you summon all the way to Beijing again? In this way, they contain each other, but no one wants to be dominant, and we still have the final say on what should be done. ”

"Huh? Zhao Changshi's words are reasonable, but who are you looking for? ”

"Xiliang Dong Zhuo has received a lot of favor from me, and the strength of his army is not weak, why don't you choose him?"

"Dong Zhuo? Well, I think it works. ”

"I agree."

"Good! Then choose him. ”

While everyone was discussing, a hurried knock on the door suddenly sounded.

"Come in."

The ten people sat down separately, leisurely drinking tea and eating fruit, but then the words they heard made them sit up involuntarily.

"He has entered the palace!"

"Which bastard let him in?! How many people did he bring? ”

Zhao Zhong's face was cloudy, staring at the eunuch who came in and asked.

"Back to Zhao Changshi, there is a decree from the queen's mother, and the palace guards dare not stop it.

However, he only brought four or five with him. ”

Zhang Rang and the others, who were originally frightened, breathed a sigh of relief, they thought why they brought a large army in to slaughter them.

"Okay, got it, you go down first."

"Yes!"

After Zhao Zhong waved the eunuch away, he looked at the others and asked:

"Guys, what should we do at this time?"

"Naturally, I looked at the holy face and talked to him for a while.

Right now, I'm afraid that Feng Wuji just received the news, and Dong Zhuo's side hasn't even sent anyone there;

It will take a long time for them to reach Luoyang, so before that, we need to stabilize He Jin and Empress He first, and we can't let them support Liu Ban to ascend the throne.

As for the beginning, it is naturally important for the Spirit Emperor to be buried, and only after this matter is completed can we talk about the new emperor. ”

Zhang Rang said with a slight smile.

Everyone nodded in agreement, and then walked out of the palace gate in turn towards Ganquan Palace.

Ganquan Palace.

In the past, the palace was filled with endless sounds, but now it is a sad and desolate color, and there are even more cries coming out of it.

However, many of these cries are so fake that people can't bear to listen to them......

The side room next to Ganquan Palace.

"General He Jin visits the queen, and the queen is healthy!"

Empress He was dressed in a black robe, with a white cloth wrapped around her head, and her face looked slightly haggard and pale.

"Big brother doesn't need to be polite, sit down."

"The minister commands."

He Jin bowed slightly, glanced at the side, and then looked at Queen He and asked quietly:

"Sister, why did Your Majesty go all of a sudden? What exactly is the reason? ”

Empress He sighed lightly with a gloomy expression, shook her head, and said in a slightly hoarse voice:

"I don't know the specific palace, according to several imperial doctors, His Majesty has been overindulged for a long time and collapsed due to heart infarction."

He Jin nodded thoughtfully.

To be honest, he was really a little panicked before he entered the palace.

Because he and Emperor Ling have always had big and small contradictions, but Queen He kept mediating from them, so nothing happened.

And before that, I suddenly received news from Queen He's cronies and maids, saying that Emperor Ling had died, and the queen mother urgently summoned him to the palace.

At that time, he was really worried about the truth of this news, worried that Emperor Ling sent this maid to trick him into the palace, so that he could end up.

After a long struggle, he dared to step into the palace.

Fortunately, what he was worried about did not happen, and he had just seen it with his own eyes, and the Spirit Emperor had really died.

Empress He glanced around, then lowered her voice and said worriedly:

"Big brother, although Braided is the eldest son, he should inherit the throne;

But His Majesty's departure was too sudden, and there was no edict left, and those attendants have always been at odds with the eldest brother, and the palace is worried that they will mess around, and the time will be ......."

He Jin couldn't help frowning and said:

"My sister's concern is not unreasonable, about this ......"

"Queen Mother, ten regular attendants ask to see."

At this moment, a maid's voice suddenly sounded from outside, interrupting He Jin's words.

Empress He and He Jin couldn't help but be stunned, and after being silent for a while, after obtaining He Jin's nod of approval, Empress He said:

"Invite them in."

"Yes~"

Soon, the door was opened, and the ten permanent servants walked in one by one with a sad face, and bowed to Queen He with mournful weeping.

"We'll see the Queen."

He Jin looked at Zhang Rang and the others with such a disgusting attitude, and almost wanted to kick a few people out.

What's it packed in? What's there to pack?

How good is it to be indifferent like yourself? Such clumsy acting skills make people feel extremely uncomfortable watching it!

"Okay, everyone, please get up."

Although Empress He was angry in her heart, she couldn't show it, and raised her hand coldly to signal everyone to get up.

Under the influence and emphasis of Emperor Ling, Empress He had to call these dead eunuchs "Ah Gong" who made her very uncomfortable......

"Thank you, Queen, woo woo ......"

Zhang Rang and the others stood up with a handful of snot and tears, and that looked really funny.

"I don't know why a few grandfathers came?"

"Woo, Queen Mother, Your Majesty is dedicated to the government and politics on weekdays, but I didn't expect it to become a disease after hard work, and I will be in such a prime ......

Your Majesty is back to heaven, and we need a good life to settle down. ”

Zhang Rang raised his sleeves and wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes, and said with a sobbing sadness.

Queen He couldn't help but wonder for a while, why are these bastards transsexual today?

"Ah Gong Zhang is right, Your Majesty is returning to heaven, and this aftermath will naturally be handled ceremoniously."

Zhao Zhong hurriedly nodded and agreed:

"What the Queen Mother said is that all current affairs need to make way for His Majesty's return to heaven.

We must let Your Majesty go in a beautiful manner, and wait until Your Majesty returns to heaven safely before we can say anything else. ”

Empress He and He Jin, who was looking disapproving, suddenly changed their faces.

They finally knew why these eunuchs were like this, and it turned out that the main thing was here.

It's just that this new emperor will ascend the throne sooner or later, what are they doing this for?

Is it trying to stall for time? But what's the use of delaying time?

Queen He and He Jin couldn't think clearly for a while, so they didn't know how to respond, and the atmosphere suddenly became a little dull.

After a long time, Empress He sighed lightly and said:

"Regarding this matter, it is better to wait for the news of His Majesty's death to be announced to the ministers tomorrow morning, and then the ministers will discuss it."

Since she couldn't figure it out, Queen He could only retreat and attack conservatively.

"This ......"

Zhao Zhong wanted to say something, but was stopped by Zhang Rang.

"Queen Mother, although Your Majesty is gone, you still have to take care of your phoenix body.

We also have to arrange for people to handle the affairs of His Majesty's death, so as not to disturb the queen. ”

Zhang Rang got up and said goodbye to Queen He, and although the rest of the people were full of doubts, they could only follow suit.

After Zhang Rang and the others were far away, Empress He looked at He Jin and asked:

"Big brother, according to you, what kind of calculation are they doing?"

He Jin rubbed his eyebrows, but shook his head and said:

"I couldn't guess for a while.

It's okay, let's wait for tomorrow morning, I believe those ministers understand what to do.

After all, a nation cannot be left without an owner for a day. ”

Empress He nodded slowly and said:

"That's all there is to it."
