On April 12, 189, the atmosphere became more and more strange in the Luoyang Palace, Liu Hong's dormitory.

"Hehe, I'm not dead yet, have you prepared my nickname?" Spirit', this is hoping that I will die soon......"

In the dormitory, Liu Hong's face was haggard and there was no trace of blood, and after lying on the dragon bed and listening to the report of Jian Shuo who was kneeling below, he barely showed a trace of mockery and mixed with other expressions and whispered.

Regarding the undisguised malice of the important ministers of the court, Liu Hong or Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty, who was about to be added with the malicious nickname of "Ling", didn't care at all, even if "Ling", which represented the meaning of "It's good to die", "Don't die early", and "Die really will pick the time", it can't make Liu Hong have any other anger.

Well, well, Liu Hong himself knows that what he did after he ascended the throne did make the family feel greatly suppressed, and even did not hesitate to let Zhang Jiao and others sweep the entire Han Dynasty, and it is not surprising that he would add that kind of "spirit" to the evil name of "spirit" after his death. And what Liu Hong is worried about is not the question of his nickname after his death, what he is worried about is completely the son Liu Xie, who is now at the bedside, who is being pulled by the Empress Dowager Dong......

"Your Majesty?!"

"Wu'er, why do you say this, what those ministers have commented on is a bad thing!"

"Father?!" ……

Listening to Liu Hong's self-deprecation, the only people in the dormitory, Jian Shuo, Empress Dowager Dong and the prince Liu Xie, all changed their faces, shouted at Liu Hong one after another, and comforted and explained Liu Hong.

Other people or ministers have a very bad evaluation of Liu Hong, but whether it is the Empress Dowager Dong and the prince Liu Xie, or Jian Shuo, who was favored by Liu Hong and served as one of the eight captains of the West Garden, they can't fake their loyalty and feelings for Liu Hong, but they don't want Liu Hong to be added a vicious name after his death!

"Ahem......"

Seeing the reactions of Jian Shuo, Empress Dowager Dong and his son Liu Xie, Liu Hong seemed to want to laugh, but when he opened his mouth, he coughed suddenly and spit out a mouthful of blood. Then Liu Hong, who coughed out a mouthful of faintly black blood foam, said in an unusually weak tone to the Empress Dowager Dong, Jian Shuo and others, who were nervous and trying to find the imperial doctor: "No need to find the imperial doctor!" I've already determined the situation, I'm afraid it won't be a few days! ”

When Empress Dowager Dong and Jian Shuo heard Liu Hong's words, they seemed to want to say something, but Liu Hong raised his hand to stop them. Then Liu Hong, who began to have a strange flush on his face, opened his mouth and said to the three of them: "Since ancient times, no emperor is immortal, even if the Qin Emperor is wise and wants to live forever, isn't it the end of hatred?" I don't have any thoughts about going back to heaven to meet my ancestors now, but I don't want to let him face a mess after my death......"

"Father's ?!!!"

Hearing his father's words, Liu Xie, who was only eight years old, fell to the ground and cried bitterly in front of Liu Hong under the gaze of Empress Dowager Dong and Jian Shuo. And in his eyes, a trace of unspeakable surprise flashed, but no one found out.

Although he is only eight years old, Liu Xie himself was killed by Empress He because his mother had just given birth to him, and he was under the care of Empress Dowager Dong since he was a child.

"But, what ...... So what should He do with it?"

Face your own son's words. Empress Dowager Dong, who understood the general trend in her son's words, faintly flashed a hint of joy, but she still asked with some concern.

As a person who has taken care of Liu Xie for several years. Of course, I hope that Liu Xie will ascend to the throne, but the opponent Liu Xie faces is the justifiable emperor's eldest son Liu Wei, and Liu Wei not only has the support of his mother Empress He, but also has the support of his uncle He Jin, who is a general, and the difficulty of becoming the emperor is too much!

"Bian's is a good boy, but it's a pity that his character is too weak. The general joined forces with those scholars and families, and if he couldn't fight them, I couldn't rest assured that he would be a king, let him be a king and let him live a good life!"

Facing the words of the Empress Dowager Dong. Liu Hong shook his head gently, a touch of nostalgia and kindness seemed to flash in his eyes, and he indifferently said his opinion on the handling of the eldest prince Liu Wei. However, after turning his head, Liu Hong's eyes flashed with a touch of murderous intent, and his words were like ice: "After I die, the guards arranged will directly give her a cup of poisoned wine, and say to the outside world that she is sad and died of excessive illness when she hears the news of my death, so go down directly with me!"

"Then how to enter ......"

Listening to Liu Hong's arrangement, Empress Dowager Dong frowned and reminded with a worried face.

Strictly speaking, Liu Hong's arrangement is not the main obstacle to Liu Xie's ascension to the throne, Empress He and Liu Wei have no power to resist in the face of Liu Hong's will and arrangement, but the biggest obstacle to Liu Xie's ascension to the throne is not anything else, but the general He Jin, who holds military power!

"Jian Shuo!"

Liu Hong did not answer the question raised by the Empress Dowager Dong, but shouted directly, and then looked at Jian Shuo, who was lying on the ground, and said in a hoarse voice: "There is something, I want you to do it!"

"Your Majesty just commands, and the slave and maid will never give up!"

Hearing Liu Hong's words, Jian Shuo, who had already guessed what Liu Hong was going to do by himself, began to sweat, but asked respectfully without the slightest hesitation.

"Very good, I want you to kill Uncle Guo!"

In the face of Jian Shuo's performance, Liu Hong's face became more and more ruddy, completely exceeding the performance of ordinary patients, although the voice of the words was slight, but in Jian Shuo's ears, it was like thunder: "I have written an edict, you can use this to kill your uncle." In the meantime, the Imperial City Guards will be at your disposal! This matter is about the centuries-old foundation of my great man, and I am the only one you can trust now. Once you kill He Jin, immediately bring your subordinates into the palace to guard and protect the Xie as the emperor together, understand?"

"Your Majesty, rest assured, the minister will do his best and never give up!"

Listening to Liu Hong's instructions, Jian Shuo showed a hint of fear on his face, but immediately changed to a firm voice.

As a eunuch despised by other scholars and families, he is the most loyal to the royal family, and Jian Shuo is also a Huangmen squire who was greatly favored and promoted by Liu Hong, and after Liu Hong's order that can be said to be extremely dangerous, he knew the danger but still chose to agree.

"That's good...... Wish...... OK...... See...... Cooperate...... Enthronement ......"

Seeing Jian Shuo agree, Liu Hong was a little happy, but the whole person's voice began to be blurred.

When ten seconds later. Jian Shuo raised his head when he found that something was wrong, and after asking softly with Empress Dowager Dong and Liu Xie, he found that Liu Hong still did not respond, and then he got closer and saw that Liu Hong had closed his eyes.

"My ?!!!"

"Your Majesty!!"

"Father's !!" ……

After confirming that Liu Hong was dead, Jian Shuo, Empress Dowager Dong and Liu Xie couldn't help but cry out in grief and shed tears.

Of course, the three of them are really not acting or cheating. Empress Dowager Dong and Liu Xie were grieving the death of their relatives and pillars, while Jian Shuo was worried about the death of his majesty Liu Hong.

On the same day, everyone in Luoyang knew that Liu Hong had died!

……

When Liu Hong died, the ministers of the court chose the nickname "Ling", and then buried under the nickname of Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty.

However, Liu Hong's idea of letting Jian Shuo control the palace guards, kill He Jin and then support Liu Xie's ascension to the throne as emperor did not come true. Through the authority of Empress He and the general herself, she directly controlled the entire palace!

Originally, Yuan Shao and others, who supported He Jin, proposed to let He Jin directly kill Zhang Rang and other eunuch groups who were waiting for the ten permanent servants, but He Jin, who was wary of Yuan Shao and others' practices, ignored them under the persuasion of his confidants and advisers, and reached an agreement with Zhang Rang and other ten permanent servants, and then cooperated with a group of civil and military ministers to support the prince Liu Wei to ascend the throne and change the Yuan Chuping.

Since then. He Jin's power in the imperial court reached a peak, but because of this, he was at odds with the group of eunuchs who waited for the Ten Constants. And it also made Yuan Shao and other families understand that He Jin was unwilling to be his pawn, and he also had a different mind!

As a result, He Jin first exiled the Empress Dowager Dong, and the Empress Dowager Dong was strangled by unknown characters on the way to exile, and the murderer is unknown, but all the spearheads are pointed at He Jin. And then. Luoyang and various places have all kinds of messages and some signs, saying that He Jin plans to kill the eunuch group and raid the family to exterminate the rumors, and even all kinds of information ordered by He Jin.

These things, especially the inexplicable death of Empress Dowager Dong, and the intelligence that He Jin wants to attack the eunuch group. made the eunuch group, which had received He Jin's relaxed attitude and calm, exploded.

If He Jin just killed Jian Shuo who tried to kill him, and supported his nephew Liu Wei to become the emperor, it is actually acceptable for the eunuch group to wait for the Shichang to wait, as long as He Jin doesn't want to kill them all, whether Liu Wei or Liu Xie becomes the emperor, it is just a change of emperor for the Shichang Wait.

Therefore, even if Emperor Han Ling was dying, he asked Jian Shuo, who was the most confidant, to clean up He Jin's matter, instead of counting on the ten permanent treatment of the grass on the wall!

However, first of all, Empress Dowager Dong was exiled by He Jin and died inexplicably, and after the arrival of the Liangzhou Army and Youzhou Army with foreign aid such as He Jin, the rumors that they wanted to clean up the eunuch group spread, which made the Shichang people who did not do anything because of the possibility of easing with He Jin a little fried.

He Jin, you butcher, actually want to kill them all, our family will fight with you!

――This is the idea of unity in the hearts of Zhang Rang and the others after Shichang felt the attitude of "He Jin" that seemed to be about to be killed!

So, when He Jin, who had just embraced his nephew to ascend the throne as emperor, had not yet had time to realize his ambitions, he was ordered by a Huangmen squire beside his sister Empress He, saying that Empress He had something to discuss with him, and then He Jin was deceived into the palace and was beaten by the ten permanent henchmen and palace guards who could be mobilized.

Although He Jin is a general, and in the past, he also had more than ten generals with internal qi separated from the body as personal guards, and there were several life-saving treasures on his body, but for the palace guards at the level of unified internal qi and the ten permanent henchmen, the strength of He Jin and less than fifty guards can be ignored, and after only a short period of more than ten minutes, He Jin exhausted the life-saving treasures on his body, and was forced to behead by the ten permanent henchmen!

But before he could wait for He Jin to die Shichang to breathe a sigh of relief, and according to the predetermined plan, he used the edict of Emperor Han Ling that Jian Shuo got to control the palace and let Liu Xie ascend the throne, suddenly another gate of the palace opened, and then Yuan Shao and others led the elite to shout the slogan "Avenge the death of the general who was killed by the eunuchs" and rushed directly into the palace.

"Not good! Our family has been used as a knife!"

Listening to the shouts that suddenly resounded through the palace, Zhang Rang, who belonged to the old fox, waited for Shichang's face to change greatly and woke up.

It was clear that the arrival of the elite troops shouting slogans was too coincidental, and the gates and defenses in the palace were suddenly opened? Thinking about the things that were wrong during this time, Zhang Rang and the others couldn't reflect the situation.

However, now Zhang Rang and others are too late to react!

It is already a fact that He Jin was killed, although the thousand palace guards in the palace are strong, and the defense measures of the palace are even more impregnable, but now after being directly broken in, Zhang Rang and other eunuchs do not have the courage to fight to the end, and now they are thinking more about how to escape!

"Take the Queen Mother, the Emperor and the Prince, and rush out of the palace immediately!"

After seeing the palace guards and hundreds of henchmen in his hands, as well as the elite private soldiers of the family who had rushed over from the other side of the palace and the Eighth Army of Xiyuan, Zhang Rang gritted his teeth and gave an order.

At this time, Zhang Rang has no better way, but he knows that even if he and the others surrender, they will not be able to gain anything, and now they can only take one step at a time!

Listening to Zhang Rang's words, after the other Shichang looked at each other for a while, there was no better way, so they could only bite the bullet and snatch out the Empress Dowager He, Liu Wei and Liu Xie, and then resist Yuan Shao and others to chase and kill, resist all the way and withdraw from the imperial city, and run towards the outside of Luoyang City.

In the face of the desperate escape of Shichang and others, Yuan Shao and others only sent a small number of troops to chase and kill, but on the other hand, they deliberately indulged He Jin's henchmen to pursue them, and ignored those scattered soldiers who began to create chaos in the palace and even Luoyang City, not to mention, deliberately shouted the slogan "The general was killed by the eunuchs", intending to attack the palace and a series of subsequent events on He Jin and other relatives and the eunuch group of Shichang.

However, what Yuan Shao, who is now proud in his heart, and other insiders of the major families who know the reason behind this incident does not know is that now less than twenty miles away from Luoyang City, the 10,000 cavalry of the Youzhou Army commanded by Li Yuan are no longer very far from the convoy of the Ten Constants to be evacuated from Luoyang......
