() In March of the sixth year of Zhongping, Emperor Liu Hong of the Han Dynasty was suddenly frightened and collapsed during a court meeting. Regarding this, the ministers, who knew that the emperor's physical condition was not very good and he was prone to falling ill, were not too worried. It was a pity that he planned to act later.

If the plan to eliminate the ten permanent servants who have controlled the government for many years in one fell swoop fails, there will be endless troubles.

But no one thought that the emperor would never recover from this disease. Even though there were countless good doctors in the palace, and elixirs were widely available, they could not save the life of a dying person. The emperor's physical condition was not good.

Over the years, even more

Under the connivance of the eunuchs, he indulged in sexual intercourse and completely emptied his already bad body. This time he was frightened one after another, so in his prime, he fell ill and fell ill in less than a month.

His bones were broken and he was almost dying.

It was the night of the tenth day of April. In a side hall of the palace, under the illumination of a dim and swinging oil lamp, several frightened faces that were difficult to distinguish from blue and white were all gathered together. They had been there all these years.

No one can compare with the Shichang Shi who can call the shots in the court, but this time they no longer have the confidence they had before, and are instead filled with fear.

"Now that His Majesty's dragon body is worse than ever, what should we do? Although it is difficult for foreign ministers to know His Majesty's condition now, once...this matter cannot be hidden, then He Jin and others will

There will be trouble, and we must have a countermeasure." Zhang Rang, as the leader of the group, was the first to make it clear.

But the only response to him was silence. As the emperor's vassals, these eunuchs were naturally able to accomplish many things under the emperor's protection and regarded the courtiers as nothing. But once they lost the emperor's protection, they were nothing, even though some

Those who are available may not be able to do anything big under the current circumstances.

"Your Majesty's situation is serious..." Finally, a eunuch named Guo Sheng had the courage to ask. Because he had less time to be close to the emperor, he still had a glimmer of hope for the matter, but Zhang Rang and Zhao Zhong

The eunuchs who often served the emperor still gave a hard-to-accept fact: "The medicine has no effect, and it has only been in these few days."

This made the faces of several other people paler, and everyone had the thought that this time they were really going to die. You must know that at the meeting in Japan, all the ministers were in front of the emperor.

They dared to say so bluntly that they wanted to kill themselves and others. Now that the emperor has fallen, they have lost their last supporter, and their fate is naturally obvious.

"There is another way that may be able to save our lives!" At this time, Jian Shuo, the most scheming among the people, suddenly said: "Today the emperor cannot save us, we can only rely on the next emperor."

"The prince is the daughter of Empress He, and He Jin is her brother. We are taking refuge there at this time, but I'm afraid it's too late." Zhao Zhong immediately shook his head and rejected the proposal.

"No, I don't mean to make the crown prince the new king, but to make King Chen Liu his heir!" Jian Shuo said something that surprised everyone. In fact, as early as two or three years ago, when they

When they discovered that He Jin's power had begun to grow and had seriously threatened them, these people had already begun to want to make King Chenliu and Liu Xie the crown prince. However, Yi Chu was a major matter after all, and the emperor could not decide it with just one word, and the courtiers had many

It was opposition, so their plan failed.

But they didn't expect that now, at this critical juncture, Jian Shuo would bring up the old matter again, which made others a little confused, but then Zhao Zhong and others had already thought of the feasibility of this matter: "You mean borrowing

His Majesty’s posthumous photo to confirm that King Chenliu will inherit the throne?”

"Yes! Now the palace is full of our people. As long as the palace gate is temporarily sealed to prevent the news from leaking, it is not impossible to establish King Chenliu as his heir. And once King Chenliu ascends the throne, we will follow Long

Naturally, those ministers cannot touch the great hero who protected me!" Jian Shuo added.

"But this matter is too important after all, and He Jin is not a fool. Even if we really make King Chenliu the emperor, they will not admit it. And as the queen's brother, he has many ways to enter the palace to destroy our plan

." Duan Gui shuddered and raised his concerns.

"We can't worry about too much now. If we don't do this, you and I will all die here. All we have to do is take a chance!" Jian Shuo's eyes flashed with murderous intent: "Let's bring He Jin into the palace.

Come, and then find a reason to kill them, so that there will be no further trouble. Those courtiers are just a piece of loose sand. Once there is no leader like He Jin, they will not be able to pose any threat to us!"

After hearing his bold idea, the others were immediately speechless. Everyone was weighing the pros and cons. Should they take the risk to do this?

Because they were distracted, these eunuchs never noticed that outside the gate of the palace where they were discussing, there was a soldier of the imperial army who had listened to their words in detail. This man's face was also full of surprise at this time.

and worries.

??????????

"What did you say?" After hearing this retelling, He Jin jumped up from his seat and shouted loudly: "How dare these eunuchs do such a thing and try to get rid of this general?"

"Yes, this is what I heard with my own ears." The speaker was Duan Xun, a general in charge of the palace, but He Jin also received the account: "So General, you must be on guard!

"

"You're such a handsome Jian, how dare you do such a cruel thing, I will never let you go!" He Jin immediately slapped the case and said, "Come here, please quickly recruit everyone in the capital to come to my place. I will go to the palace tomorrow morning."

, let’s see which one of them dares to touch me!”

"No, General. There are too many people in the palace listening to the instructions of those eunuchs. If you enter the palace, I'm afraid you will be in danger." A young man who is short in stature and not very handsome, but has a different aura.

He spoke immediately.

"Meng De, you are too cowardly. As a general, I understand that those young eunuchs would not dare to attack him." Another young man who is just the opposite, handsome and handsome, has a dignified appearance.

But he shook his head and said: "The only one who can decide the overall situation now is the general, so why should we be afraid of those eunuchs?"

"Brother Benchu, why don't you understand? Those eunuchs are extremely sinister and vicious. If you are not careful, you will be harmed by them. From the Cao's point of view, they will enter the palace with a large army, and then use the excuse that they have evil intentions to murder them.

For the best."

The two young men each had their own opinions and soon started arguing. In the end, He Jin accepted Meng De's suggestion. After all, he was also worried about the unknown situation in the palace at this time, so he still brought his troops in to be more careful.

good.

However, what He Jin, Shi Changshi and others did not expect was that before they could all take the appropriate actions, on the morning of the next day, the emperor Liu Hong, who had run out of oil and lamps, died.

On the sick bed. From the time Liu Hong became emperor at the age of twelve to his death at the age of thirty-four, during his more than twenty years as emperor, he did almost nothing that was beneficial to the country and the people. He only used the power in his hands to enjoy himself, and finally used the power in his hands to enjoy himself.

The Han Empire was completely destroyed.

And his death did not stop the continuation of destruction, but instead pushed the Han Empire into an even more terrifying abyss.

On the day the emperor died, while the eunuchs were still making preparations to establish King Chenliu as their heir, General He Jin personally led five thousand armored men into the palace. Then all the ministers entered the palace, cried and offered sacrifices to the late emperor, and even

He immediately made Prince Liu Bian the emperor and the young emperor.

After that, He Jin fought back against the ten permanent ministers, and finally proposed to appoint Chenliu King Liu Xie. Jian Shuo, who plotted to kill He Jin, was killed on the spot. As for the other eunuchs, they were able to save their lives because the emperor was newly mourned.

, but the power of the Ten Constant Attendants has been greatly reduced as a result, and their destruction is not far away.

But at this moment, a figure who had been ignored by everyone stood up again and changed the situation of the court that had almost taken shape. That was the Empress Dowager Dong, the mother of the late emperor Liu Hong. On the day after the new emperor ascended the throne, after the early court,

At that time, Empress Dowager Dong suddenly arrived and used the excuse of the emperor's youth to observe the political affairs. Zhang Rang and other eunuchs were re-employed.

Seeing that the eunuchs were dying and actually moved out Queen Mother Dong to suppress him, which made He Jin even more angry. Under the advice of his subordinates Yuan Shao and others, he immediately ordered the local forces to raise troops to serve the king and eliminate the eunuchs.

!In this way, a transfer order written by He Jin himself was sent to Liangzhou and came to Dong Zhuo's hands.

In fact, as early as half a month ago, after the emperor was frightened and stopped the court meeting, Dong Zhuo, who was in Liangzhou, had already received the news. At this time, he had already taken control of the entire military and political power in Liangzhou, and he was determined to go further.

He became extremely concerned about the government affairs, and it was impossible to hide anything that happened in Luoyang, let alone such a major event when the court meeting suddenly changed.

After reading the detailed description of what happened at the court meeting, Dong Zhuo showed a disdainful smile: "Huh, these courtiers are really incompetent. A few eunuchs left them helpless, and they actually wanted to

It took me so long to think of using such a method. If it had been someone else, I would have eradicated them and wiped out the three tribes long ago!"

Later, Dong Zhuo turned his attention to the green snake that made the emperor sick, and a strange smile appeared on the corner of his mouth: "Back then, a certain person once heard a prophecy left by his predecessors - the white snake will appear.

, the great Han Dynasty rises; the green snake appears, and the great Han Dynasty dies. The Great Ancestor killed the white snake and became the great Han Dynasty today. But this time, such a strange green snake suddenly appeared, and it happened to land on the emperor's throne. What does this mean?

?" It seemed that something that had been buried deep in my heart in the past began to slowly appear when I saw this news.
