This night, for the Eastern Capital of the Han Dynasty, too many people were sleepless.

The palace changed and killed the ten permanent servants, and the civil officials could still accept it. He Jin and Yuan Shu, the captain of Si Li, killed more than 5,000 people that night, which was enough to make the courtiers frightened and frightened.

Now, Huangfu Song led foreign troops into Beijing, He Jin suddenly 'reported illness', and there were not many officials in Luoyang City, worried that 'that night' would recur.

Even if that kind of killing did not occur, they were worried that the imperial court would liquidate the relatives and friends led by He Jin on a large scale.

In Luoyang City, there are basically two factions, the eunuchs and their relatives, few of them are alone, and they are more or less related.

If this happens again, how many officials in Luoyang City will be left?

Not to mention ordinary officials, even the three dukes who recorded the affairs of Shangshu, Wang Yun and others, were also frightened and discussed with others all night.

This night, it seemed that the entire Luoyang City was looking at the direction of the palace, worried and uneasy, and wondered in fear whether the new emperor would kill again.

The only one who slept well was probably Liu Wei.

He slept until the next afternoon, still having some headaches.

This time, it was too much sleep.

He opened his eyes and looked at the beams of the main hall with a blank look in his eyes.

After a few moments, he took a breath, lifted the covers, sat up, and rushed out the door, stunned.

He had a strange sense of emptiness, and for a moment, he didn't know what to do or what to do.

Liu Wei sat there, his legs covered with a quilt, his chin propped up with one hand, staring straight out of the door.

I don't know how long it took to come, Pan Yin quietly came in through the side door.

Liu Wei was alarmed by the sound of footsteps and turned his head to look over.

"Your Majesty." Pan Yin saw Liu Wei's expression that he was still not awake, paused, and then stepped forward and said softly.

Liu Wei woke up suddenly, took a long breath, rubbed his face, and said, "What's the matter?" ”

Only then did Pan Yin hand over the two notes and said, "Your Majesty, Shangshutai sent it, one is about the filling of the vacancies of the officials of the Jiuqing Prefectures and Temples, and the other is about the enthronement ceremony. ”

Liu Wei was a little sober, took it, threw the gap aside, and looked at the enthronement ceremony.

There were some strange words mixed in it, especially all kinds of fonts that looked like people's names, place names, and special meanings, and he couldn't guess them.

He looked up at Pan Yin, habitually wanting him to read it, but seeing the sallow and thin little yellow door before, it became a little mellow, thought about it, handed it back, and said: "Yuan Kui is the first, the second Wang Yun, and the third duke again, add Huangfu Song to Liu Yu." Everything else is business as usual. ”

"Yes." Pan Yin responded.

Liu Wei sat cross-legged, blinked, and said, "Is there any movement outside?" ”

Pan Yin recalled carefully and said, "Not for the time being, it's quite quiet." ”

Liu Wei couldn't help laughing, it's strange if he is not quiet, such a big thing is enough for the government and the opposition to digest for a while.

Liu Wei didn't feel hungry, he felt tired, and he couldn't think too much for a while, when sleepiness hit again, he waved his hand and said, "It's okay." I'll sleep a little longer. ”

He is not completely sleepy, but because now, it is best to do nothing, and anything he does will be speculated and interpreted by the courtiers for all kinds, which is not conducive to appeasing the panic of the government and the opposition.

Pan Yin responded softly and retreated silently.

When he went out of the Jiade Palace, he saw Jian Shuo and Cao Cao waiting outside the door, and when they saw him come out, they all showed inquiring eyes.

Pan Yin maintained a restrained smile and said, "Your Majesty said, everything is as usual." ”

The faces of the crowd were more or less relaxed.

If at this time, Liu Wei will liquidate the will of He Jinji's henchmen and the like, they will feel a little uncomfortable in their hearts.

Cao Cao, Yuan Shao and others were all people who had entered the General's Mansion and had a close relationship with He Jin; Jian Shuo has a kind of rabbit death at the moment, although he can't wait to die, but he doesn't want a large-scale liquidation.

Because once the reckoning begins, sooner or later it will eventually fall on them.

The Shangshutai next to the Jiade Hall is a little deserted today, and only Yuan Kui and Wang Yun are there.

Wang Yun is accustomed to being silent and burying his head in work.

Yuan Kui looked calm, reviewing the official documents one by one.

Neither of them spoke, except for the occasional sound of flipping silk or paper, and the quiet drop of a needle could be heard.

At this time, the government and the opposition were not concerned about Shangshutai, but about the General's Mansion.

The General's Mansion has been in a state of panic since last night, and then the news of He Jin's 'illness' came out later, I don't know how many people were frightened, some people fled, some wrote suicide notes, and some even committed suicide directly, and were rescued again.

It wasn't until noon that Empress Dowager He sent a letter asking for some of He Jin's clothes, and announced that He Jin's two concubines had entered the palace, which alleviated some people's fears.

But not seeing He Jin still makes it difficult for too many people to feel at ease.

In the treacherous atmosphere of Luoyang City, it slowly came to night.

Huangfu Mansion.

Huangfu Song is almost always outside and rarely comes back.

The eldest son, Huangfu Jianshou, was a strict scholar who loved to read and often traveled and visited celebrities.

He is not keen on becoming an official, he is a rigid rule at home, and he is naturally very disgusted by the deviance and misconduct of his second brother Huangfu, and he often serves in the family law.

Huangfu Jianshou showed a talent, gestured like a celebrity, held a pile of bamboo slips in his hand, glanced at the direction of Huangfu Jianchang's room, frowned and said, "What is he doing?" ”

The thirteen or fourteen-year-old scholar behind him, who was half a scholar and half a servant, hurriedly said: "The eldest son, the second prince has been in the mansion recently and has never gone out. ”

Huangfu Jianshou didn't speak, turned his head and walked out, and said, "Some gentlemen will come over in a few days, you prepare tea and snacks, don't be slow." ”

"Don't worry, the villains in the hall have been arranged." Scholar Road.

Huangfu Jianshou looked at Huangfu Jian's long closed door again, and although he was puzzled, he still went out with a bamboo slip.

In the long room of the emperor, watching the 'second father' leave, his face left through the crack in the door, he turned his head and grabbed a piece of cake, took a bite and said, "What are your plans?" ”

Shi A, who was lying on the bed, was pale and covered with cloth bags.

He also had a cake in his hand, took a bite, and then said: "The sky and the earth are big, just escape from Beijing, what should you do?" ”

Huangfu Jian sat next to him with a long butt, and said indifferently: "What should I do if I have anything?" The big deal is to be honest, I have my father, and Your Majesty will not embarrass me. ”

Shi A's eyebrows drooped, looking at Huangfu Jian's long face that seemed to be indifferent, but in fact, he had been tense, and said: "You are smarter than me, you must know that you stabbed this matter in front of Your Majesty, although Your Majesty will not publicize it to the outside world, but no one will know, if those people know that you have entered the palace to tell the secret, you say, will they let you go?" ”

The corners of Huangfu's mouth twitched, and he immediately took a bite of the cake irritably.

Shi Ah put down the bread in his hand, looked at him, and said, "I'll go and confess to Engong, maybe Engong can keep you." ”

Huangfu Jian shook the rattle with his long head and said: "My father couldn't get used to me, the last time he collided with His Majesty, he almost didn't kill me, if he knew that I caused such a big trouble this time, he might bury me directly on the spot." ”

Shi Ah was just about to speak, when footsteps sounded outside the door.

Huangfu turned his head sharply, his whole body tense.

"Second son, someone came to ask for an account, saying that you owe 10,000 yuan." The servant outside the door.

Smack

The bread in Huangfu Jianchang's hand fell to the ground, and his hands were trembling.

Shi Ah leaned closer and said in a low voice: "You tied me up and handed it over to Your Majesty, just say that I was arrested by you, and those were unintentionally tortured by you, even if Your Majesty doesn't believe it, for the sake of Engong, it won't be too difficult for you." ”
