.) Outside the White Tiger Gate, Empress Dowager Dong almost fainted when she heard that the emperor had passed away. Her body swayed tremblingly for a few times and then fell to one side. If the maid beside her hadn't hurriedly supported her, her whole body would have collapsed.
He was about to fall to the ground. There was a lot of crying, and all the civil and military officials were shocked by the bad news.
When the Weiwei heard that Liu Hong and the ten regular servants were dead, he also lost his confidence. There were civil and military officials from the Manchu Dynasty in front of him, and Yu Linlang led by Zhao Yun behind him. He immediately opened the White Tiger Gate and let Empress Dowager Dong and all the civil and military officials into the palace.
.Under the escort of Yu Linlang led by Zhao Yun, everyone entered the palace and headed straight towards the Hehuan Hall.
After entering the Hehuan Hall, Gao Fei and his subordinates stood guard outside the hall with sad faces. When he saw He Jin walking over first, he hurriedly stepped forward and said, "See you, General!"
He Jin did not say anything, but waved his hand slightly, signaling Gao Fei to open the door of Hehuan Palace.
When the door of Hehuan Hall opened, everyone was shocked by the bloody scene in the hall. On the dragon chair in the hall, Liu Hong lay naked in a pool of blood, with a long sword pierced from behind.
The whole body was covered with blood, and the person holding the hilt of the long sword was actually Zhao Zhong. There were several corpses lying around Zhao Zhong and Liu Hong, all surrounding Liu Hong's back, and everyone's face looked very ferocious.
It was like an extremely painful struggle before death, and Zhang Rang's body fell on the other side with a long sword stuck in his leg. There were more than a dozen wounds on his body, and his whole body was riddled with holes from the sword.
Empress Dowager Dong squeezed out from the crowd. When she saw the scene in the hall, she exclaimed and fainted. Empress Dowager Dong fell sideways towards He Jin, and He Jin hurriedly supported Empress Dowager Dong's body.
And she shouted loudly to the other maidservants accompanying Empress Dowager Dong: "Help the Empress Dowager return to Nangong to rest."
When Gao Fei saw Empress Dowager Dong being helped away, he said to He Jin: "General, when I was killing the ten permanent servants, I didn't want Zhao Zhong and others to hold your majesty hostage, and used this as a threat. Your majesty tried to break free, but in the end,
He accidentally bumped into Zhao Zhong's sword, and His Majesty died like this..."
The layout of the scene was so realistic that no one could doubt it. Seeing is believing. Everyone finally felt relieved about Liu Hong's sudden death. However, the short Cao Cao, who was hiding behind the ministers, saw through the gap.
There was something unusual about it, and when he saw the vague smile on Gao Fei's face, a sly smile appeared on his face.
At this time, He Jin's face was full of melancholy, but his heart was full of joy. Liu Hong's sudden death was beyond his imagination and far beyond his ability to control. However,
Liu Hong's death was a God-given opportunity for him. At this time, his political sense suddenly became sensitive, and the thought of his nephew succeeding to the throne as the new emperor of the Han Dynasty emerged in his mind, and he would also touch the power.
the pinnacle of.
He hurriedly took two steps forward, then turned around and shouted to all the people present: "Your Majesty passed away and the country was in turmoil. All ministers were sad. However, the country cannot be without a king for a day, even though the late emperor never appointed a prince.
, but Prince Bian is the eldest son of the late emperor, and he should succeed him as the new king of the Han Dynasty."
"The general is right. Prince Bian has been smart since he was young, and he is the eldest son of the emperor. He should succeed to the throne." Yuan Shao echoed.
All the ministers thought it was reasonable, and the Liu family members all knew that this was He Jin's wishful thinking. However, Liu Bian was indeed the eldest son of the emperor. Although they were unwilling to see He Jin dominate the court, they had no choice but to remain silent.
speak, or echo.
The emperor's sudden death was a huge shock to any minister who had participated in secret business. The eradication of the ten constant servants actually led to the death of the emperor. What's more, He Jin is now in great arrogance, and a family like the Yuan family is also in a state of shock.
They were all subordinated to He Jin, and no one else could control the situation. The power fell into He Jin's hands.
However, Zongzheng and Liu Yu were still a bit brave. When no one expressed any objections, he stepped forward and shouted loudly: "Now is not the time to discuss the heir. We should first investigate the cause of your majesty's death and make a public announcement.
It is the moral order of the Han Dynasty to discuss the matter of the successor after the country is in mourning. As Zongzheng, how can I sit back and ignore it?"
Liu Yu's words contained some hints, which immediately aroused the echoes of Liu's clan members and the enthusiastic reactions of other ministers. After all, where are the rules of the Han Dynasty?
He Jin couldn't resist the pressure of the ministers. Seeing Yuan Shao wink at him, he immediately understood and said loudly: "Your Majesty's death is a great mourning for the country. As a general of the dynasty, I should play a role in supporting him."
It is the responsibility of the government. Now please go to Anfu Hall, and someone will handle it here. General Gao, please lead Yu Linlang to escort you all to Anfu Hall."
Gao Fei didn't want to listen to He Jin, but He Jin had the highest official position now, and the so-called civil and military officials were just those who had participated in secret business in the general's mansion. Among the three princes, Taiwei, Situ, and Sikong were not here.
, naturally it was He Jin who had the final say. He didn’t care about it. His regicide had been cleared of suspicion. The next step was to try to leave the capital. The intrigues in the palace were too complicated and he didn’t want to get caught up in it.
During the party struggle, he immediately took all the Yulin Lang to escort everyone out of the Hehuan Hall, while the Huben soldiers commanded by Yuan Shu took over the Hehuan Hall and were responsible for the aftermath.
Seeing that everyone had left, Yuan Shao hurriedly said to He Jin beside him: "General, now the ten permanent servants have been eradicated, and although the death of the late emperor was an accident, it is also an opportunity. The more this time, the more important it is for the general to take every step of the way.
"My subordinates believe that all the troops in the Northern Army should be mobilized into the city immediately, using the army as a threat to coerce the officials to recognize the strength of the general, and firmly hold the power of the Han Dynasty in the hands of the general."
After hearing this, He Jin felt very reasonable, and hurriedly took out the tiger talisman for mobilizing the army from his arms, handed it to Yuan Shao himself, and said to Yuan Shao: "Benchu, you quickly take my tiger talisman to mobilize the Northern Army.
Army, after this is accomplished, I will definitely place you among the three nobles."
Yuan Shao was overjoyed, and he immediately thanked He Jin and said, "Thank you so much, General. I will go to the Northern Army immediately. I will definitely live up to the expectations of the General."
Gao Fei led Yu Linlang to escort the ministers to Anfu Hall. When he was halfway through the journey, he saw Liu Biao approaching.
"General Gao, can you lend me a moment to speak?" Liu Biao asked softly when he came to Gao Fei's side.
Gao Fei had already had a premonition that after the emperor's death, the small group that had united to eradicate the ten permanent servants would inevitably collapse in an instant, and the general He Jin, his relative, would inevitably become the biggest beneficiary of this palace coup. However, Xiang He Jin
The tilted Han clan clan will definitely not sit idly by and take this opportunity to stand up and take a share of the pie, hoping to compete with He Jin. In addition, the famous families in the court will also make their own choices.
The reshuffling of political power will definitely bring about surging undercurrents.
"Master Liu, what's the matter?" Gao Fei didn't want to get involved in any party disputes, whether he was a relative of the emperor or a noble family. When the Han Dynasty's political power was at its most loose, there was only one thing he had to do, and that was to leave the capital as soon as possible.
Leave before a fight breaks out between those vying for power and develop your own territory.
"Although the death of the late emperor was an accident, the ten regular servants were also completely eradicated. General Gao can be said to be the biggest contributor to the eradication of the traitors. However, the accident of the late emperor's death created an excellent opportunity for He Jin.
.He Jin is a relative. As the general of the current dynasty, he holds tens of thousands of soldiers and horses of the Northern Army. Once the new emperor comes on board, he will inevitably become the most powerful official in the government. I, a big man, have experienced the exclusive power of my relatives and eunuchs for many years.
Now is the time to eradicate these two cancers together. The eunuchs have been defeated now. If the foreign relatives only withdraw from the government, the country of the Han Dynasty will truly be returned to the hands of the Han Dynasty." Liu Biao pulled Gao Fei aside and called
Liu Yu and Liu Yan came and whispered to Gao Fei.
Gao Fei stood next to San Liu. After listening to Liu Biao's words, he already understood the meaning. He was taking the opportunity to win over him. To put it bluntly, he wanted to use his power to get rid of He Jin. Because tonight was a sexy night.
, the ten permanent servants were eradicated in one fell swoop tonight, and the emperor of the Han Dynasty also died "accidentally" tonight. This was destined to be an extraordinary night. He looked at Liu Biao, Liu Yan, and Liu Yu, and he knew very well that the three
Although Liu is a relative of the emperor, he has no real power in his hands, and is simply not able to compete with He Jin who holds military power. What's more, the three Lius are not the kind to control the entire court. It is impossible for him to risk this by following the three Lius.
risk.
"Master Liu, I don't quite understand what you mean. Please speak frankly!" Gao Fei replied coldly.
Liu Yu and Liu Yan looked at each other. They did not speak, but placed their entire hopes on the famous Liu Biao, trying to let Liu Biao persuade Gao Fei.
Liu Biao understood, but he couldn't put it too bluntly. Although he could see that Gao Fei didn't really surrender to the General's Mansion, he was not sure whether Gao Fei would stand on their side. He and Gao Fei were together
He had seen Gao Fei during the rebellion in Liangzhou. He was impressed by Gao Fei's special temperament, but he never thought that Gao Fei would become the most important chess piece in this palace rebellion. He Jin had already borrowed
Gao Fei eradicated the Shi Changshi, but it was unknown whether he could eradicate He Jin with Gao Fei's help. Seeing Gao Fei's cold expression, he said: "General Gao is a smart man, I will definitely not understand what he said.
, if General Gao is not willing, then we will not force it."
Of course Gao Fei is not willing. Even if he kills He Jin tonight, he will not be able to escape as smoothly as he killed Liu Hong, because He Jin has soldiers in his hands. Even if He Jin dies, his soldiers and those who have taken refuge in him will immediately
To fill the vacancy, Gao Fei will never let go. Gao Fei only has one or two thousand Yulinlang in his hands, which is simply unable to compete with tens of thousands of troops. At this time, he has many considerations, and every step he takes must be
It is extremely safe, otherwise, if you make a wrong step, your life will be in danger.
He smiled at Liu Biao, Liu Yu, and Liu Yan, and said: "Three adults, if you have nothing to do, please leave quickly. Anfu Palace is not far away."
As soon as he finished speaking, Gao Fei raised his hands to Liu Biao, Liu Yu and Liu Yangong, then turned around and left, leaving the three Lius in a daze.
Returning to the front of the team, Jia Xu asked in a low voice: "My lord, although the situation in the court is calm at the moment, there is hidden murderous intent. My lord must find a way to leave the capital as soon as possible. Only by staying away from the capital can my lord be considered worthy."
You are the real lord."
Gao Fei nodded and admired Jia Xu's words very much, because Jia Xu was thinking the same thing as him. He said slowly: "Chong'er was away for more than twenty years, but in the end he was still able to return to Jin alive, and in one fell swoop
To become Duke Wen of Jin who aspires to dominate the world, I naturally understand the principles of living outside."
Jia Xu said: "Now that the emperor has passed away, among the new emperor's heirs, Prince Bian, as the eldest son of the emperor, has the most inheritance rights. In this case, He Jin will inevitably become a powerful person and will influence the entire government.
.Although the other forces do not want to see this situation, they have nothing to do. The lord should seize the opportunity at this time and take the opportunity to stay away from the capital while He Jin still has trust in the lord."
