Chapter 54: The Collapse of the Han Emperor and the Chaos in the World (End)

Listening to the constant sound of killing outside the window, Emperor Liu Hong of the Han Dynasty lay quietly on the cushion made of bright yellow satin and closed his eyes to recuperate, looking as if he was asleep, but at this moment, his heart was not calm.

Liu Hong's life was definitely not peaceful, at the beginning of his early ascension to the throne, he single-handedly planned the September coup d'état that was famous at that time, wandering between the eunuchs and Dou Wu, and exterminating the Dou Wu and even the entire Dou clan at that time, which also opened the curtain of his imperial career.

Speaking of which, Liu Hong is by no means as mediocre and incompetent as said in history, but in the face of the current situation of the family controlling the world, he has no choice but to secretly connive at the eunuch party, and at the same time try to override public opinion, establish He Wan as the queen, and at the same time win over He Jin, who was born as a butcher, and form a three-legged situation of eunuchs, He Jin and party members in the court, maintaining the balance of the world.

This move is undoubtedly a clever move, but his teammates are not strong, and He Jin, who was pinned on high hopes, after ascending to the position of a general, gradually broke away from Liu Hong's control under the influence and flattery of those big families, and there is a tendency to develop towards Dou Wu and Liang Ji, who were in power in the past.

Fortunately, He Jin is not Dou Wu and Liang Ji after all, without the same means as the two of them, after Liu Hong wantonly enabled the Dongguan Shi clan and the Qingliu party, the eunuch party, He Jin and the imperial party were re-formed in the court The three-legged balance situation, but this balance is very fragile, the Dongguan party led by Lu Zhi and Cai Yong, these Qingliu party people are actually not very useful except for a few people such as Lu Zhi, Liu Hong knows this very well, but he knows better that as long as these people are there, they are a banner of the royal family, A banner representing the royal family, without real power, but able to stabilize the scholar class headed by the general He Jin in righteousness.

It's just that. The premise of this qiē is that he has not yet fallen, and once he falls, he can be sure that the Han royal family will once again face a war with his relatives, which is something he would never want to see. Therefore, He Jin must die! Otherwise, whether it is to ascend to the throne or to ascend the throne, it is inevitable that he will become a puppet in the hands of He Jin.

Liu Wei is better, after all, there is a little bit of blood and family affection, if Liu Bian's personality is stronger, Liu Hong, as the emperor, will definitely not mind giving up the unhappiness between him and Queen He, but it's a pity...... In Liu Hong's opinion. Liu Wei's personality is too weak after all, but Liu Xie, although he is young, he is more in line with the standards of an emperor than Liu Wei in terms of personality and potential.

It's just that in this way, it is all the more necessary to get rid of the generals, otherwise, whether it is for self-preservation or greater power. I'm afraid that this butcher will rise and abolish under the usurpation of those scholars, and the only bit of dignity left in the Han royal family will be. I'm afraid that it will be defeated, and the current big man can no longer withstand this kind of toss......

The shouting and killing outside gradually weakened, and Liu Hong, who was recuperating with his eyes closed, suddenly opened his eyes, is it over?

Looking expectantly in the direction of the door, waiting for the final decision of fate!

"Bang~" The closed door was rudely opened. He Jin put on his armor and walked in with a solemn face, his body was full of murderous energy, and there were still traces of blood on the armor.

"陛xià. The captain of the military colonel, Jian Shuo, conspired to make trouble, but fortunately, the minister noticed it in time, and now Jian Shuo's extremely party members have been taken down by the ministers, and this is Jian Shuo's head! He Jin threw a human head to the ground, saluted Liu Hong, and said in a deep voice.

"...... you" Liu Hong looked at the stunned human head on the ground, his fingers trembled and pointed at He Jin, his throat suddenly made a gurgling sound, and then his mouth opened, spurting out a mouthful of blood mist, his body softened, and he slumped on the couch.

"陛xià! 陛xià! The surrounding palace people were in a panic, and hurriedly helped up the Han Emperor Liu Hong, and after a while, a eunuch stepped forward and shouted to He Jin and his party: "Your Majesty has returned to heaven!" ”

Call~

He Jin and Yuan Shao and other people behind him breathed a sigh of relief when they heard this, He Jin looked at Liu Hong's corpse, if he didn't take into account the environment here, he really had the urge to look up to the sky and laugh, as soon as Liu Hong died, no matter what edict he had, it would be impossible for Liu Xie to ascend the throne of the Ninety-Five.

Your Majesty, it's not that I don't miss kindness, it's just that you don't give me a way for the He family to live, it seems that in the end, it's still me, the butcher, who won! My nephew will become the emperor, you old man will go! He Jin couldn't stop feeling proud in his heart, once today passes, in the future, this big man will be his own.

"General, this is the Tiger Talisman of the Captain of the Upper Military Academy!" The trusted generals handed over Jian Shuo's tiger talisman to He Jin.

"Well done." Looking at the tiger talisman in his hand, He Jin's heart was extremely happy, with the Tiger talisman of the captain of the military academy, all the troops in Luoyang City would fall into the hands of He Jin, which was something that He Jin did not do in his heyday.

The emperor is dead, and the knife hanging above his head is gone, originally He Jin wanted to end the matter, early tomorrow morning, together with all the ministers, Liu Wei was put on the throne, but when he was about to return home, he was stopped by Yuan Shao: "General, now is the best time to eradicate the eunuchs, why not take this opportunity to take down all the ten permanent servants?" ”

He Jin was a little reluctant in his heart, he probably understood the thoughts of these scholars, if there was no Zhang Rang and his group, would these scholars with eyes above the top still gather around him He Jin?

waved his hand and said indifferently: "Although Zhang Rang and the others are hateful, they are the close ministers of the former emperor after all, and now that the first emperor has just gone, he is going to kill the former emperor's close ministers, doesn't it make the first emperor feel cold?" Let's not talk about this for now! ”

Yuan Shao opened his mouth to persuade again, but was interrupted by a rush of footsteps, and a general of the He family hurriedly ran in and said in a panic: "General, the big thing is not good, the villain has just found out the news, and there is a regular servant Gao Wang who brought five hundred new troops to Fengyi Garden before, the purpose is unknown, I am afraid it is not good for the queen!" ”

"What!?" He Jin's face changed greatly, and he couldn't care about arguing with Yuan Shao anymore, and said sharply: "Why don't you gather troops and horses to guard Luanjia!?" ”

"Yes!"

Hurriedly gathered the soldiers and horses of the headquarters and the soldiers who had just been recruited, and hurriedly ran towards the direction of Fengyi Garden.

"It seems that the general has concerns, and it will be difficult to eradicate the eunuchs tonight." Looking at the direction in which He Jin left, Cao Cao patted Yuan Shao, who had a gloomy face, and said with a smile: "Don't be upset at the beginning, now all the military power in Luoyang has fallen under our control, a group of eunuchs." I didn't expect anything bad to happen, so I went back first. ”

"Mengde walks slowly." Yuan Shao nodded, but his face was still gloomy and terrifying, Cao Cao sighed when he saw this, and he didn't explain more, and turned over on his horse. Evacuate with the headquarters to the outside of the palace.

"Originally, let's go too." Looking at Yuan Shao's expression, Xu You sighed slightly, this operation, it is indeed a big pity that he failed to get rid of the eunuchs in one fell swoop, but in Xu You's opinion, the most important thing is that He Jin is no longer as obedient to them as he was in the past. Obviously, Yuan Shao's original action to fight for military power in Xiyuan made He Jin vigilant.

Yuan Shao was a little unwilling, but now that the military power has fallen into the hands of He Jin, what can he do if he is unwilling, glanced at the corpse of Emperor Han, nodded, and prepared to leave, but at the moment of turning around. Something flashed in the corner of Yuan Shao's eyes, and he couldn't help pausing slightly. Turning around, in Xu You's puzzled eyes, he strode to the side of Emperor Han's corpse, and stretched out his hand to pull out a piece of yellow silk from under Emperor Han's pillow.

"This is ......" Looking at the content on the yellow silk, a look of ecstasy appeared on Yuan Shao's face.

"Edict!" Xu You lost his voice and then woke up. Looking around, he breathed a sigh of relief, Cao Cao had already left with his people, and the people around him were all Yuan's protégés. Own.

"Let's go, go home!" Yuan Shao also reacted immediately, and hurriedly put the edict into his arms, this is a sharp weapon to deal with He Jin in the future, the depression caused by the failure to eradicate the eunuch party in one fell swoop suddenly disappeared, and he hurriedly withdrew from the palace with Xu Yu and a cadre clan.

Yongchang Palace, outside Fengyi Garden, He Jin hurried with his troops, but the place where he saw was full of corpses, he had obviously experienced a tragic battle here, He Jin even saw the corpse of the Imperial City Guard Captain in the corpse, obviously in this palace, there was another army that did not belong to himself and the emperor involved.

In this Luoyang, there are soldiers and horses that do not belong to themselves or the royal family, and there are only the Fengwei battalion of the Zhenbei General's Mansion and the Beigong Guard.

He Jin's brows rose slightly, he really couldn't think of what Li Xuan's purpose was for intervening, and among the corpses all over the ground, there was not a single corpse belonging to any of the people under the command of the Zhenbei General's Mansion, you must know that although the new army was established not long ago, the foundation was composed of the elite of the strong armies in Luoyang in the past.

"Brother, you're here." A graceful voice sounded, and Empress He, under the escort of several palace eunuchs, walked out of the Fengyi Garden with a face full of panic on his face, with a dignified demeanor, and he had long since lost his previous confusion and uneasiness.

"See the queen!" Although there are thousands of doubts in my heart, but now in the public, I can't mess with the court's courtesy, and worship now.

"Why do you need to see my brother?" He Hou stretched out his hand and motioned for everyone to get up.

"Queen, this is ......" He Jin looked at the devastation on the ground that had not yet had time to clean up, and looked at He Hou suspiciously.

"Zhongchang waited for the following to commit a crime, and plotted against the palace, but fortunately, the Feng Wei camp desperately guarded him, so he failed to let the traitor succeed." He Hou raised his eyebrows with a cold smile.

"I see, where are the generals of the Fengwei Battalion? This general should be rewarded! He Jin suddenly, a sense of joy suddenly rose in his heart, so it seems that Li Xuan is also quite familiar with current affairs, whether the participation of the Fengwei camp in the war also represents a trace of goodwill released to him by the other party, if so, it is necessary to win it over.

"It's gone!" A look of amazement flashed in Hou He's eyes, and she sighed slightly: "What's going on over there?" ”

"His Majesty has returned to heaven, the traitor has been ambushed, the palace is in our hands, it's just ......" He Jin looked at He Hou and hesitated: "Yuan Benchu seems to have the intention of eradicating the eunuchs in one fell swoop, but I feel that there seems to be something wrong with this, so I temporarily suppressed this matter." ”

"Brother did the right thing!" He Hou sneered: "Those scholars are willing to cling to their elder brother because there are eunuchs who are still alive, if one day the eunuchs are gone, do my brothers think that those scholars will still be attached to my brother as in the past?" ”

When He Jin heard this, he was like an initiation, and he instantly sobered up a lot, and nodded again and again: "It's still my sister who sees it thoroughly, and I almost made a big mistake for my brother!" ”

Where is I to see it thoroughly, if it weren't for that person, how would I know these truths, thinking of Zhao Min's words when he left, He Hou's heart was slightly sweet, at least it showed that that person cared about himself, looked at He Jin and said: "Brother still has important things to do now, when you leave the palace quickly, you don't have to worry about the affairs in the palace, you have your own palace cooking." ”

"Whoa!" He Jin nodded, immediately said goodbye to Queen He, and walked outside the palace. (To be continued......)
