Chapter 52: The Collapse of the Han Emperor and the Chaos in the World (1)
The tenth day of the fourth month of the sixth year of Zhongping.
Luoyang, Imperial Palace.
"The queen, please stop, Your Majesty is discussing with the minister, no unrelated people are allowed to enter, and please wait a while!" Outside Liu Hong's palace, two imperial city guards stretched out their hands and stopped Empress He and the prince Liu Wei outside the door, and said indifferently.
"Hongu ...... Is it also irrelevant to people, etc.? He Hou glanced at Zhao Min and Poison Island behind him with a somewhat ugly look, and his phoenix eyes were full of anger, staring at the commander of the Imperial City Guards.
"Where is the duty, and ask the queen for forgiveness!" The Praetorian Guard Commander narrowed his eyes, bowed his head and said respectfully, but he didn't give an inch.
"Yes, then the main palace is waiting here!" In her arms, the thirteen-year-old prince Liu Wei looked at the closed palace door a little timidly, and looked at his mother blankly: "Queen Mother, why is my father unwilling to summon us?" ”
"Debate, don't worry, your father is discussing state affairs with the ministers, and when the discussion is over, he will definitely meet us." He Hou said softly, just looking at the palace gate, but with a downright coldness, she had already received the news before, and now it was not any important ministers of the court who were summoned by Liu Hong, but Empress Dong, Xiao Huangmen Jian Shuo and Liu Xie's little!
At this moment, the slightest guilt for Liu Hong and the last trace of expectation for Liu Hong because of Li Xuan's matter completely dissipated with the closed palace gate and the indifferent attitude of the imperial city guards.
Since you don't miss the old love, then don't blame the concubine for being ruthless!
"Miss Zhao, if you launch an attack at this time, can you hope to kill all these imperial city guards?" He Hou looked at Zhao Min with some expectation, she knew that this Zhao Min was one of the closest women around Li Xuan, and she was also the storage of the think tank, although she had already made up her mind to fall to Li Xuan. But she herself is not too assertive, so she can only pin her hopes on this Zhao Min sent by Li Xuan to the palace to protect herself.
"This ...... I'm afraid not. Zhao Min's gaze swept over the body of the commander of the Imperial City Guards, and she shook her head with a wry smile, she naturally knew why Empress He asked this, but although the number of Imperial City guards was small, they were all top soldiers. Although the Fengwei battalion has good combat strength, it has not yet reached its peak, with a small team of phoenix guards to attack the inner palace that is tightly guarded by the imperial city guards, it is simply impossible, not to mention, although she does not know Li Xuan's specific plan, she will never be willing to fall into the whirlpool of this palace struggle too early, otherwise, all the three thousand Fengwei will be stationed in the palace. Coupled with the Beigong Guards and the newly acquired Lower Military Academy, it was enough to control the entire palace in a very short time after the emperor's death.
"Are you just watching that inherit the throne!?" An unspeakable panic flashed in Empress He's eyes, after many years of court career, he knew very well the filth and cruelty hidden under the splendor, once Liu Wei could not inherit the throne, what awaited them would be a gloomy future.
Zhao Min's eyes flashed, and a smile appeared on his charming face. He Hou came to his side and whispered: "Why should the queen worry about this? Although we can't touch it in person now, we are outside this palace. But it is the world of the great general, even if His Majesty really leaves an edict, what if he passes the throne to Prince Xie? As long as the edict cannot be lived, it is equivalent to nothing! ”
"You mean......" A look of horror rose in He Hou's eyes when she looked at Zhao Min, and she looked at Zhao Min, a little speechless.
"Queen. This matter is not only about whether the prince can ascend to the throne of unification, but also about the life and death of the entire He family, make a decision quickly! Zhao Min's voice became a little solemn, looked at the closed palace door, and said slowly: "Once the edict is passed out of the palace." That qiē will never be recovered! ”
"How to act, please Miss Zhao make it clear!" He Hou gritted his teeth and finally made a decision.
The corners of Zhao Min's mouth crossed a successful smile, this scene seemed to be more and more exciting, probe, leaned into He Hou's ear, and said softly: "Quickly send someone out of the palace, tell the general that His Majesty has died, and order him to quickly lead the army into the palace, Qing Jun's side, kill the eunuchs, and at the same time control the palace, and support the emperor as the emperor!" ”
"However, His Majesty hasn't ...... yet" He Hou looked at Zhao Min with some doubts, not understanding the meaning of her words, but immediately reacted, and looked at Zhao Min with a frightened face, as if he knew this woman for the first time, with a thick look of horror in his eyes.
"After tonight, what difference does it make if Liu Hong dies or not?" Zhao Min looked at He Hou with a smile, and in his voice as crisp as a yellow bird, there was a downright coldness: "It's just that now it seems that his immediate death will obviously be more beneficial to us!" ”
At this moment, Zhao Min is like a demon who is constantly luring people into the dark abyss.
Looking at Zhao Min in shock, He Hou suddenly struck a chill, and then suddenly realized that the woman in front of her with a captivating face was by no means a good type, she was the man's woman, and she had the same lawless blood in her bones as that man.
It's just that...... Empress He looked at Zhao Min, then at the closed palace door, gritted her teeth, and nodded lightly: "Since this is the case, this palace will immediately order someone to leave the palace, Bilian!" ”
"Queen." The delicate maid came to Empress He's side, she was the dowry girl when Empress He married into the palace, and she was also Empress He's most trusted confidant in this huge palace.
"Quickly take my token and go to the General's Mansion ......" Empress He called Bi Lian to her side, and after whispering, she looked at Bi Lian with a shocked face with a grim face, and said in a deep voice: "This matter is not only about whether Bian'er can ascend to the throne, but also about the life of my He family, go quickly!" ”
"Yes." Bilian nodded and turned to leave.
"Tsuko?" Zhao Min tilted his head sideways and looked at Yanzi who was standing silently on the side.
"Yes." Xianzi nodded slightly, and looked indifferently in the direction where Bi Lian left: "Before she walked out of the General's Mansion, the secret guard would protect her without worry!" ”
At the same time, Liu Hong's dormitory
Liu Hong tightly grasped Liu Xie, who was only eight years old, but with the other hand, he was holding the little yellow door Jian Shuo, looking at Empress Dong behind the two with some confused eyes, and said weakly: "Queen Mother, I'm afraid my son will not be able to do it!" ”
Looking at Liu Hong, who had become extremely tired after just a few words, Empress Dong's eyes were sour, tears fell uncontrollably, and he shook his head and said: "Your Majesty is not going to talk nonsense, you are the true son of heaven, and you will be able to live a long life!" ”
"A long life?" Liu Hong's eyes flashed with an indescribable tiredness, and he shook his head with a wry smile and said, "Since ancient times, which emperor has really lived a long life?" My body, I know better than anyone else, I have made up my mind, after I return to heaven, I will inherit the unification, the edict has been written, and it will be placed under my pillow, and after I leave, you can take it out by yourself. ”
Liu Xie, who was only eight years old, had an indescribable look of excitement flashing in his eyes when he heard this, but he buried his face on Liu Hong's body by crying, not letting anyone see his expression at this moment.
"That'...... What should be done with Ho's and the debate? Empress Dong's face also flashed with joy, but it disappeared in a flash, and then disappeared, and asked with some concern.
Behind Liu Xie, there is the support of the general, which is the first important issue that Liu Xie has to face after he ascends the throne.
"Debate is a good boy, but unfortunately, his character is too weak, and the generals and the world join forces, and Debate's character can't fight them." Shaking his head gently, a touch of love flashed in Liu Hong's eyes, no matter how he looked at Liu Wei before, but after all, it was his first child, and there was a time when he put all his love on the other party, but it's a pity...... If it weren't for the self-righteous little action of He Hou at the beginning, if there was no He Jin's henchman, if there was no scholar pressing forward step by step, maybe it would be a different look now, but this qiē is no longer possible.
"As for the Ho family!" Liu Hong's eyes flashed with a touch of murderous intent, and he snorted coldly: "I will send someone to give her a cup of poisonous wine!" ”
"Then why ...... high" Empress Dong frowned and said with a worried expression.
"Shuo!" Without answering Empress Dong's question, Liu Hong looked at Jian Shuo on the side, and said hoarsely: "There is something I want you to help." ”
Shuo hurriedly said: "Your Majesty just commands, the slave and maid will never give up!" ”
"Kill Uncle Guo for me!" A strange light flashed in Liu Hong's eyes, he was about to die, and he must not leave the foundation for He Jin to continue to plague the Great Han, and he must be eradicated!
"I have an edict here, you can use this to kill your uncle, during this period, the imperial city guards will listen to your dispatch, this matter is related to the four-hundred-year foundation of my Han Dynasty, after killing He Jin, I will immediately summon your subordinates into the palace to guard the palace together!"
"Your Majesty, that General Zhenbei is in charge of the Beigong Forbidden Army, and you also raised it yourself, why don't you recruit him into the palace together and protect my Han River?" Empress Dong hesitated for a moment and wondered.
"Hehe......" mentioned Li Xuan, Liu Hong's eyes flashed a touch of murderous intention, and Sen Ran said: "I look at this person, by no means a person who has lived under the people for a long time, usable but never credible, now he has three soldiers and horses in his hands, and Cai Weng is looking for it, his wings have become fuller, if he is allowed to get this auxiliary merit again, he will be a more terrifying figure than He Jin or even more terrifying than He Jin, if it is not for the lack of time, I will definitely kill him with He Suigao!" ”
"Shuo! You haven't promised me to kill my uncle for me and assist the Association to ascend to the throne, are you willing to agree? Liu Hong coughed lightly twice, turned his head, and looked at Jian Shuo inexplicably.
Jian Shuo hesitated for a while, this kind of thing is too dangerous, if he is not careful, his head will fall to the ground, and there will be no bones, so he has the intention to shirk it, but when he saw Liu Hong's eyes, he suddenly felt a chill rushing to the bull fight, and he hit a chill alive, and hurriedly crawled to the ground, and said in a deep voice: "Your Majesty, rest assured, the minister will do his best to die!" ”
If you agree, you may die, but there is a glimmer of life, if you don't agree, I'm afraid you will immediately fall to the ground. (To be continued......)
