At the moment of Liu Hong's death, Liu Bei seemed to hear the bell of the end of the old era, and at the same time, he also heard the horn of the beginning of the new era.

The bells and trumpets rang inexplicably, and he couldn't even tell if it was a hallucination or a reality.

But he knew exactly what the road was going to take, so he wiped away the tears from his face, put away all the emotions that did not belong to a great general, and walked towards the palace.

He's going to get what he's got after years of business and planning.

On the afternoon of April 11 in the sixth year of Zhongping, under the order of Liu Hong, the son of heaven, Liu Bei, Zhang Rang, Jian Shuo, and Dong Chong brazenly launched a coup d'état, quickly killing He Jin and Yuan Kui, so the military and political alliance between the general He Jin and Situ Yuan Kui collapsed and collapsed.

When the sun was setting on April 11 in the sixth year of Zhongping, the coup ended successfully, He Jin and Yuan Kui failed, and Liu Bei's alliance won.

On the evening of April 11 in the sixth year of Zhongping, Liu Hong, the son of heaven, fell ill and died.

An unprecedented high-speed coup d'état ended in just one afternoon, and the fate of a dynasty was decided in just one afternoon.

Then, an hour after the end of the coup, the Son of Heaven, who took responsibility for this, died.

He insisted on sending away his most hated enemies, watching them die in front of him, and then he himself died without enjoying the final fruits of victory.

But it doesn't matter, an old political pattern is destroyed, and a new one will be established as the sun rises the next day.

But before the morning rises on April 12, there are many, many things to do on the night of April 11 and in the early morning of April 12.

Liu Hong left suddenly, but he only made a more general explanation behind him, such as who is in the general direction and what position, and there is no explanation for more specific content.

As a result, this part of the blank was completely handed over to Liu Bei and others to be responsible for disposal.

Empress Dowager Dong was too sad, and Liu Xie was too young, and they didn't have the energy to take care of this matter.

After Liu Xie's accession to the throne, the power of the court was completely reshuffled, and as participants in this political action, Liu Bei, Zhang Rang, Jian Shuo, and Dong Chong should naturally enjoy the spoils brought by the success of this coup.

That is, the division of the supreme power of the entire Eastern Han Empire at present.

Deservedly, the main force and the highest credit recipient of this coup d'état is Liu Bei.

He is the absolute main force, the absolute C position, and the actual commander of the entire coup operation, with the highest credit, and the person who actually controls the soldiers and horses the strongest at present, so no one has any objections, according to the previous agreement, the position of the general belongs to him.

But in addition to his own position as a great general, Liu Bei could obviously get the sweetest and fattest piece of the vast amount of power vacated by the suppression of the He family's supporters, Yuan's supporters, and everyone's enemies.

He deserves it, and no one else has and doesn't dare to have any opinions.

Therefore, Liu Bei decided to ask for some very important positions for his henchmen as a reward for them.

And Zhang Rang, Jian Shuo and Dong Chong also performed their respective tasks and made their own contributions, not lying to win, so obviously they also need some positions as rewards.

So just over an hour after Liu Hong's death, they openly and honestly bargained for some vacant positions and negotiated with each other.

Of course, Liu Bei is the strongest hero, Zhang Rang also successfully killed Yuan Kui, Jian Shuo also successfully killed many opponents, and Dong Chong also successfully protected the palace, they are all meritorious, so there are some things that Liu Bei is not easy to swallow alone.

So a few people negotiated for a while, and basically divided the power in Luoyang City into several parts and occupied each of them.

Specifically, their original shares remain unchanged for the time being, and some divisions are made for the loot.

For example, Zhang Rang's control of Dongyuan and Shangshutai, the supervision of hundreds of officials and part of the control of personnel rights, Liu Bei admitted, and Zhang Rang led the team to kill Yuan Kui, so who Yuan Kui's original Situ position belonged to, Zhang Rang recommended it.

In addition, the power attached to the position of Situ and the position of Situ is also at the disposal of Zhang Rang, and the appointments of the three secretaries who nominally belong to Situ, Honglu, and Tingwei are also recommended by Zhang Rang.

Zhang Rang has increased his weight and voice in the Luoyang court, and has made progress in political power.

On the other hand, Zhang Rang could not get involved in the division of military power.

Although Zhang Rang expressed the idea of wanting to control an army, it was impossible for the other three to control the army controlled by Zhang Rang, and they believed that Zhang Rang controlled more than 1,000 armed men in the East Garden, which was an army.

What more bikes?

Even Jian Shuo and Dong Chong felt that Zhang Rang's authority was a bit big and wanted to divide some of it, but with Liu Bei's support, they could only recognize it.

Dong Chong hoped to obtain the status of a hussar general as a relative, and obtain the right to open the palace in this position to strengthen his position and power, as well as to continue to control the palace guards that could only be controlled by the guards, and to maintain control of the palace.

In addition, Dong Chong, with the blessing of the Empress Dowager's righteous status and influence on the future little emperor Liu Xie, asked to get the control of the position of Sikong, recommended the person he trusted to be Sikong, and received the appointment rights of Zongzheng, Shaofu, and Sinong.

In this regard, Liu Bei objected.

Because Dong Chong has already controlled the Wei Wei who belongs to the Taiwei sequence, and with the addition of three Jiuqing, four positions in Jiuqing belong to Dong Chong's control, which is not in everyone's interests.

Liu Bei objected, Zhang Rang and Jian Shuo also opposed, and Dong Chong could not get support and could only accept the deployment.

After discussion, Dong Zhong was forced to hand over the position of Shaofu that he was unwilling to hand over to everyone to jointly manage, and the appointment of the post of Shaofu needed to be approved by everyone.

Among them, Liu Bei has the final say - because the Wei Wei requested by Dong Chong belongs to the Tai Lieutenant sequence served by his teacher Lu Zhi, he took the Wei Wei away, Liu Bei believes that this is tantamount to infringing on the interests of Liu Bei and Lu Zhi, so he needs to make compensation.

Dong Zhong had no choice but to agree.

Then came Jian Shuo, who was able to maintain control of the Xiyuan Army, garrison Luoyang, and obtain the name of Che Cavalry General to strengthen military power.

Because Jian Shuo's political foundation is the weakest, he has no share in the distribution of the three princes.

However, because Jian Shuo arranged for the army to kill many Yuan officials and perform many important tasks, everyone agreed to give half of the official positions lost by Yuan officials to Jian Shuo, so that Jian Shuo could develop his own power and strengthen his weakness in political power.

The remaining half was divided equally by Liu Bei, Zhang Rang and Dong Chong.

Next are the guards of the city gate captain system and the troops under the command of Zhi Jinwu, for these two teams, one is responsible for guarding the city gate of Luoyang, and the other is responsible for guarding the arsenal of Luoyang.

Dong Chong originally wanted to take control of these two forces and strengthen his prestige in Luoyang City, but was opposed by Zhang Rang and Jian Shuo.

They thought that it was enough for Dong Zhong to take control of Weiwei, and he really planned to take away all the troops in Luoyang City?

After some arguments, Dong Chong only got the army that held the Jinwu system, and the men and horses of the city gate captain system were seized by Jian Shuo.

Finally, there is Liu Bei.

Liu Bei needed to get even more.

He led the most crucial battles, killed He Jin and his cronies, destroyed He Jin's military power, and faced the most dangerous enemies, deserving the richest spoils.

The most direct thing is that the military forces such as the Northern Army, the Tiger Army, and the Yulin Army that He Jin originally controlled were dominated by Liu Bei, because these armies were either subdued by Liu Bei or destroyed by Liu Bei, and it was he who took over the power, and it was very reasonable for him to belong to him.

In addition, Liu Bei also proposed the need for control over Liangzhou, Yizhou, and the land of Sanfu, including Hongnong County.

Liu Bei made it clear that he needed to get the right to appoint the Liangzhou Assassin History, the Yizhou Assassin History, the prefect of the Sanfu Land and the Hongnong County Guard, all of which he was responsible for, and Zhang Rang, Jian Shuo, Dong Chong, and the forces under their command could not interfere.

This is his "traditional sphere of influence".

To the west of Luoyang, he has the final say, and this point is something he cannot back down.
