Chapter 252 The Prince

Zhang asked them to kneel down together and said in unison: "The Emperor is wise!"

The Ten Eunuchs stayed with the emperor for a long time, and the so-called emperor's sacred aperture was gone in their hearts. They had long seen that although Liu Hong was the emperor, he was actually just an ordinary person, and even worse than an ordinary person. If the emperor was asked to leave the palace to make a living, he would starve to death!

But just like this, the emperor who is nothing, has a very accurate view of Li Qin's affairs. He said that Li Qin will definitely come, but Li Qin actually came!

The ten eunuchs, including Zhang Rang, thought to himself: "It turns out that the Holy Emperor is indeed different from ordinary people. I can't see anything normally, but at the critical moment, the Holy Emperor can see clearly!"

Liu Hong had been lying for a long time and sat up suddenly, his head was a little dizzy. He coughed twice. Zhang Rang quickly placed a pillow behind him and asked Liu Hong to lean on it.

Liu Hong said: "Take out wine, meat and wealth from the inner treasury and reward it to the Fujiao Army. Also, as soon as Li Qin arrived, he immediately asked him to come to see me."

Zhang Rang agreed one by one. Seeing that the emperor was in a bad mood, he said, "Emperor, you should lie down for a while and get sick. Only in this way can you review them at the palace gate after the Fujiao Army suppress the rebellion, so that the soldiers and generals feel what the emperor's grace is! "

Liu Hong coughed twice and slowly lay down. He closed his eyes and said in a daze: "You all go down!"

The ten regular attendants looked at Zhang Rang together and signaled Zhang Rang to talk about Liu Xie's affairs. Zhang Rang nodded slightly, and he whispered: "The emperor needs to be a person next to the bed to serve the emperor. Should the emperor be with the emperor, or should the third son serve him?"

When the emperor was sick, relatives had to serve him by his bed, and hand him a handful of water. If Zhang Rang asked who he asked, Liu Hong's answer would definitely not be the third son of the emperor, Liu Xie. The child was too young and brought to the hospital bed was just a mess. But Zhang Rang asked skillfully whether to ask the queen or the third son of the emperor, choose one of the two.

One of the reasons why Liu Hong was sick was that he was angry with Empress He. How could he let the Empress accompany him? Not to mention letting the Empress He accompany him, even if he heard the word "Empress", Liu Hong was very upset.

Liu Hong said in a daze: "Don't let the queen."

Zhang Rang agreed and with the eunuchs, he left the inner hall. Zhang Rang called a young eunuch and said, "Go and bring the third son of the emperor, and bring the wet nurse and the palace maid."

The little eunuch quickly agreed and went to hug Liu Xie.

A great eunuch asked, "What should the ministers outside Wuyang Gate do? Still blocking them? If you don't let them in, I'm afraid He Jin will be furious!"

Zhang Rang smiled gloomyly and said, "Wait for a while, wait for the third son of the emperor to bring him, wait until the emperor falls asleep, and let them all come in!"

The eunuchs nodded and waited for the emperor to fall asleep before letting He Jin and the others come in. The emperor was awakened and had to be angry. In addition, he was angry by the queen. The emperor must scold He Jin. He Jin came to report the good news with great enthusiasm in front of the ministers, but was scolded for being a dusty person. He Jin lost all his face in front of the ministers and would be ridiculed. When He Jin saw that Liu Xie was with the emperor, not his nephew Liu Bian, he had to be confused. He had the idea of ​​re-establishing the crown prince as the emperor. He would go to find Empress He, and Empress He had to be anxious. As long as she was anxious and came to make a big fuss with the emperor, the whole family would be fooled. The emperor had to repair them hard, and maybe he could really re-establish the crown prince because of this!

Zhang Rang sat in the outer hall with a group of eunuchs waiting. After a while, the little eunuch brought Liu Xie, and a large number of old, middle and young palace maids followed. Zhang Rang looked at Liu Xie, squeezed out a smile, and said, "It really looks a bit similar to Meiren Wang. It's a pity that Meiren Wang was killed by the Queen, making the little prince a motherless child!"

Liu Xie's mother, Meiren, was killed by Empress He. Many people knew about it, but no one dared to say it openly. Zhang Rang said it at this time. The child may not know anything, but the child cried a few times and called her mother a few times, but the adults could teach her immediately!

The eunuchs came to Liu Xie together, and Zhang Rang said again: "Your mother was killed by Queen He. She has an older brother named He Jin. He is about to come in to see your father. After He Jin comes, you will pounce on his father's bed and shout not to kill me and ask your father to save you, otherwise He Jin will kill you like his mother who killed you!"

A great eunuch was very afraid that Liu Xie would not understand what death was and what was going on with being killed. He said, "He Jin wants to kill you. If you want to die, you can't see your father anymore, you can't see Empress Dowager Dong, or your wet nurse anymore. Are you afraid?"

Liu Xie is too young and a three-year-old child. He can understand anything he says he wants to kill him, but he doesn't understand, but he knows that it is a very terrible thing to not see his father and other people close to him.

The child was so scared that his eyes widened and began to sob, and he was about to cry in advance. He Jin hadn't come yet!

Zhang Rang quickly waved his hand and asked the wet nurse to come over. He said, "Look at the third son of the emperor, don't let him cry now. Let He cry when he comes in. You can teach him again. If he teaches well, our family will have a lot of rewards!"

The wet nurse and the palace maids quickly agreed that they were serving Liu Xie and that they were all under the jurisdiction of Empress Dowager Dong. Empress Dowager Dong and Empress He have never dealt with each other, so they naturally wanted to see Empress He was unlucky, and they even wanted to see General He Jin being unlucky. Anyway, they didn't need to do it themselves, just making Liu Xie cry. It's a very simple thing, why not do it!

Seeing that it was almost done, Zhang Rang waved his hand and asked the little eunuch to go to Wuyang Gate to send orders, put He Jin and the others in.

Not long after, He Jin came with a group of ministers and rushed to the scene. He Jin shouted, "Zhang Rang, you actually stopped the important officials of the court from meeting the emperor. Do you want to separate China and abroad? What crime should you be punished?"

Zhang Rang said calmly: "General He is so serious. Our family has never thought this way. Foreign ministers want to enter the bedroom. No matter what it is, no matter whether they are good or bad things, they must be approved by the emperor. Could it be possible to come in directly? This is a forbidden area!"

Theoretically, Zhang Rang's statement is absolutely correct. The royal harem is not allowed to enter the country. Without the emperor's permission, the ministers will enter as soon as they want. But in fact, when a special situation occurs, the head of the ministers can come in without the emperor's permission. After all, there will always be accidents in life. If the emperor is seriously ill, or is hostage by some people with bad intentions, and the ministers outside do not come to save them, then the emperor will be finished!

Now, in the special situation of internal and external troubles, the Yellow Turban Army was about to attack the capital, and the emperor was sick again, and had complete internal and external troubles. At this time, He Jin, as a general, could bring his ministers in. Of course, if he wanted to come in by himself, it would be impossible. It would make people say that he was willing to control the emperor or cause trouble to the inner court. Therefore, He Jin would rather give the credit for the good news to the ministers and bring everyone into the palace, but Zhang Rang stopped them outside Wuyang Gate and did not allow them to enter the emperor's bedroom.

He Jin and the ministers were not fools. The Ten Eunuchs kept them outside the palace gate. Of course, they knew that the Ten Eunuchs used this period to report good news to the emperor. At the critical moment when the emperor was critically ill, he increased the weight of the eunuchs group in the emperor's heart. This is what He Jin and the ministers were most reluctant to see. If the emperor left a certain will in favor of the eunuchs group before his death, He Jin would be finished!

Regarding Zhang Rang's "righteous and stern words", He Jin also replied in a "righteous and stern manner": "The country is in troubled times, and it is natural for us important officials in the court to request an audience with the emperor!"

Zhang Rang said with a sneer and said, "How to take it for granted, let's listen!"

Wang Yun came up from behind and said, "Why do you need to explain the court officials to the eunuchs? Zhang Zhongguan, you have surpassed him!" He pulled He Jin and hinted that He Jin would not be quarreling with the Ten Constables here, which was meaningless.

He Jin made great strides into the hall, and Wang Yun followed closely. Wang Yun whispered: "General, after seeing the emperor, you must keep someone by the emperor's side and monitor Zhang Rang and others. Never give them the opportunity to forge an edict. If they fake the edict, the consequences will be unimaginable!"

Wang Yun knew the emperor's body well. There was no need to be taboo at such an emergency. He chose the most important reminder of He Jin. He Jin naturally understood. He kept nodding, thinking about who should stay by the emperor's side. The first thing he thought of was his sister Empress He, and then he thought of his nephew Liu Bian, but Empress He was not favored by the emperor, and Liu Bian was too young.

In the midst of trouble, they entered the outer hall, but as soon as they entered the outer hall, He Jin's head buzzed and his body shook. Wang Yun behind him was also shocked. They saw Liu Xie, who was taken care of by the palace maids!

At this time, the empress and the prince are not by the emperor's side, but Liu Xie is there. This is a very serious red flag. Could it be that the emperor wants to change the prince?

He Jin was instantly lost his mind, but then he recovered and said angrily: "Why is he here? Who brought him here?"

Just now, Zhang Rang had already taught him. When the palace maids saw He Jin's fierce look, they immediately whispered to Liu Xie: "This is the man who wants to kill Your Highness. Your Highness quickly go and ask your father to help you!"

Liu Xie knew what he knew. When the palace maids were frightened, they cried out, stepped apart, ran to the inner hall, shouted, "Father, Father, save the son minister!"

This is a bad thing. This is a false accusation in person. Adults will think that what the child says is true. Children will not lie, especially those who are fathers. Of course, they believe in their son even more. If the emperor hears this, even if He Jin is not pushed out to behead, he will have to be jailed and even if he does not die, he will have to be skinned!

He Jin was shocked and immediately chased after him and shouted, "Stop, stop!"

Wang Yun was also anxious. He didn't hold He Jin back and had to shout, "General, don't chase him, don't chase him!" He was so anxious that he almost jumped. If he chased him at such a moment, the fake would have to come true, then he would be unable to explain clearly and everything would have to be confirmed!

He Jin went to chase Liu Xie regardless of the silence. Isn’t it easy to chase the little baby very much? But he didn’t expect that whose territory was this? He wanted to chase people here, just like a joke. Is it a vegetarian to be a ten-time attendant?

The little eunuchs rushed up to stop He Jin, and the ten regular attendants behind shouted together: "He Jin, don't commit crimes!"

Only when he felt the strength of his whole body was instantly pulled away, Wang Yun thought to himself: "It's over, He Jin, a thick, stupid fool with no brains, has been fooled!"
