Chapter 309 Wang Situ (11)

Four months later

The Sixth Year of the Chinese Youth League (189)

Luoyang

Northern Palace

"Xie'er, come here."

The sickly Emperor Liu Hong held the little hand of the prince Liu Xie. He didn't expect that he could not hold on so quickly, so he never made up his mind to establish the crown prince.

When Dou's relatives would support him to ascend the throne, they also attracted his poor health.

In fact, my health is poor and I still indulge in my emotions, so I am naturally a short-lived ghost.

On his deathbed, he just wanted his favorite prince Liu Xie to ascend the throne.

As for whether this is in line with etiquette or not, is it important?

I am the country!

All the world belongs to me!

Does even I need to follow etiquette?

"Father." Prince Liu Xie stood beside Emperor Liu Hong, engaging in the last warmth between father and son.

Emperor Liu Hong stroked Prince Xie's little head, and then asked Jian Shuo on the side: "Jian Shuo, has Dong Zhuo handed over the military power?"

"Your Majesty, Dong Zhuo accepted the imperial court's appointment as the governor of Bingzhou, but refused to return the military power to the court." Jian Shuo replied in this way.

Now, he is the person the emperor trusts the most.

As the emperor became increasingly unable to support himself, the other Zhongchangshi also looked for new masters. Some cooperated with General He Jin, such as Zhang Rang, and some chose to remain neutral and wait and see, such as Zhao Zhong.

Emperor Liu Hong's father and mother both chose to betray him at the most critical moment, which disappointed Liu Hong.

"Those who disrupt the world must be Yuan." Emperor Liu Hong coughed and said unwillingly.

At this point, he can't control the court.

General He Jin and the Yuan family are in the same group. Zhang Rang, the Central Secretariat, is now working with He Jin. Dong Zhuo, who holds military power, is also a dog of the Yuan family. Most of the scholars in the world also have a good relationship with the Yuan family.

No matter how you look at it, the Yuan family is the biggest threat to imperial power, and it is the target that Liu Hong must target.

"The Yuan family is so scheming. They arranged this chess piece Dong Zhuo so early to erode the military power of our Han Dynasty!" Liu Hong was furious and trembled all over. He fought with the gentry all his life, and as soon as he became emperor, he started fighting against the gentry. In the end, the gentry won.

"We must prevent the Yuan family from usurping the throne!" Before the dying, Emperor Liu Hong kept reminding Jian Shuo.

In order to cut off the Yuan family's wings, he made a lot of efforts, including the dog Dong Zhuo raised by the Yuan family, which was promoted to Dong Zhuo on the surface and was promoted to the governor of Bingzhou, but in fact he wanted to deprive Dong Zhuo of military power.

As for this Bingzhou governor, it was actually a few months ago that Liu Yan, a relative of the Han Dynasty, suggested to him that the children of the royal family or aristocratic families who were loyal to the court would be the governors of the state, so that the continuous problem of unruly people could be solved.

"Abolishing history and establishing pastoral affairs can help one side to be stable."

"If you don't abolish history and establish her husband, the Han Dynasty will have to finish it now. If you abolish history and establish her husband, the Han Dynasty will be able to survive for more than ten years. Your Majesty, you should understand this principle."

Under such persuasion, Emperor Liu Hong agreed to abolish history and establish Mu.

In the situation at that time, the court had no other choice. If history is not abolished, the Han Dynasty would most likely die in the peasant uprisings and foreign invasions. It would be better to abolish history is established and the provincial governors would suppress the troubled people and let the provincial governors resist the foreign enemies. In this way, the Han Dynasty could have been more than ten years. In more than ten years, a miracle might happen?

After all, no one can tell what will happen in the future.

I believe in the wisdom of future generations, and believe that our descendants can solve the various problems caused by abolishing history and establishing pastoral herds.

Many times, when a person makes a decision, it does not necessarily mean that he likes the decision, nor is he stupid, but that he simply has no choice.

"Your Majesty..." Jian Shuo knelt on the ground. Not long after he entered the palace, he was weak and was not from the same camp as Zhang Rang and others.

"We must... we must establish Xie'er as the emperor!" Emperor Liu Hong wrote an imperial edict at the last moment of his life, establishing Prince Xie as the crown prince.

Halfway through writing, he coughed up a mouthful of black blood, fell to the ground and died, and died.

"Father!"

"His Majesty!"

When the emperor suddenly died, Jian Shuo immediately realized the seriousness of the problem, so he quickly grabbed the imperial edict and held the prince's small hand and said, "Your Highness, the prince, let us hurry up and find the Queen Mother (Empress Dowager Dong) and ask her to help you preside over the throne ceremony. He Jin must not be allowed to take the lead!"

"I want to accompany my father." Liu Xie cried. At this moment, he was not interested in the throne, and just wanted to talk and chat with his father.

"This..." Jian Shuo didn't know what to do, but thinking that only he and the crown prince Liu Xie knew about the death of the emperor, he was not worried for the time being.

However, outside the hall, Zhang Rang and others saw that Jian Shuo had not left the hall for a long time, so they secretly guessed that the emperor had passed away. So they ordered a small eunuch beside them: "Get out of the palace quickly and notify the general, and say that His Majesty may have passed away. Let the general enter the palace and defend the prince to preside over the throne ceremony. We must not let the Empress Dowager Dong take the lead."

Before the emperor died, the eunuchs were in the same group and served the emperor with all their heart and strength.

But as the emperor passed away, the eunuchs began to find their own way out. The Central General Zhang Rang believed that as long as he hugged General He Jin's thigh, he could rest assured.

...

Soon after

"His Majesty!"

"Why did you leave me? I would rather go there on your behalf!"

"Father! Woo woo woo woo--"

The two princes of Emperor Liu Hong and several princesses were crying, and the same was true for his queen He.

"The country cannot be without a king for a day. Please ask the eldest son of the emperor to ascend the throne!" Amid the hypocritical crying of everyone, He Jin stood up and supported his nephew Liu Bian to be the emperor.

This is a routine. This kind of thing has been staged in the Han Dynasty for many times. Everyone is used to it, thinking that it is not much different from the establishment of an emperor by the foreign relatives before.

"Please ask the eldest son of the emperor to ascend the throne!" A group of ministers, including Situ Yuan Wei, Taichang Wang Yun, etc., took the opportunity.

This is not the first time Yuan Wei has experienced such a thing, nor is it Wang Yun.

According to the characteristics of the Han Dynasty, the next step is to be the relatives of the foreign pursuing the eunuchs, killing all the disobedient eunuchs, leaving only the obedient eunuchs behind. In this way, the era of foreign relatives' rule, such as the General Liang Ji.

Then a few years later, the emperor grew up and supported the new eunuchs who had defected to the palace, and at the same time he instigated those eunuchs who had defected to the foreign relatives, and finally found an opportunity to overthrow the foreign relatives. In this way, he entered the era of eunuchs' power, such as the Zhongchang Shi Cao Jie.

Afterwards, when the emperor died, the new relatives took power again and began to carry out a great purge of eunuchs... Such an infinite cycle.

In this infinite cycle, the imperial court has more and more levies and taxes, the land annexation of the gentry has become more and more serious, the lives of the people have become more and more difficult, foreign enemies invade more and more frequently, and finally when the contradictions accumulate to a certain moment, another turmoil of the Taiping Road broke out.

Because this kind of thing has happened too many times, everyone has inertial thinking, believing that the next ten years will definitely be the era of General He Jin.

Wang Yun was already ready to please He Jin like Wang Guang pleased Liang Ji.

...

Half a month later

Hedong County

"The emperor died?"

After receiving the news, the newly appointed Bingzhou Mu Dong Zhuo felt an impulse in his heart, but in the end he held it back.

"Continue to watch the changes, as long as you have troops in your hands, you will always find opportunities."

"I, Dong Zhuo, also rely on the correct position of the team, so as to be promoted and even be famous in history."

At this moment, Dong Zhuo still did not think about betraying the Yuan family. He just wanted to stand in the turmoil that may occur in this imperial power change, and rely on the correct positioning to enhance his power and enable him to be a marquis.

After all, the last time his relative Dou Wu and the eunuch Cao Jie fought to the death, Dong Zhuo was promoted to the commander of Shu County by taking the right side.

Many times, it is better to take the team once to work hard for a lifetime.

After being cheated by the court several times and being forced to take the blame for the children of the aristocratic families several times, Dong Zhuo no longer fully believes in the court and the aristocratic families. What he believes most now is the military power in his hands.
