Here Li Xiang is busy all day long in Hanoi, but over there in Luoyang he is also uneasy.
Luoyang.
The wind howled, the sky was covered with dark clouds, and from time to time there was a bolt of lightning flashing across the sky. It was as if someone had done something terrible, which aroused the wrath of God. At the center of the Han Dynasty, in the imperial palace
But the atmosphere was dead silent.
In the past few days, the Han Emperor Liu Hong, the Han Ling Emperor, had a bad temper. He would unleash thunderous fury from time to time. In the past few days, he killed more than a dozen eunuchs and maids for no reason. Under the killings, countless low-status maids were killed.
, the eunuchs were all trembling with fear.
…
"Your Majesty, it's time to take medicine."
Shi Chang's attendants Zhang Rang and Zhao Zhong were carrying medicine bowls and were heading towards Liu Hong. Their steps were trembling, and their hands holding the bowls were also trembling slightly.
For these eunuchs, Han Ling Emperor Liu Hong is the guarantee of all their glory and wealth. If Han Ling Emperor disappears, the next days for these eunuchs will be difficult!
Therefore, if there is anyone in the palace who is not willing to let anything happen to Emperor Han Ling, these Ten Constant Attendants must be one of them! In fact, these Ten Constant Attendants are even better than the concubines in Emperor Han Ling's harem and even Queen He.
I hope that Emperor Han Ling is safe and well!
"Cough, cough, cough..."
Liu Hong covered his mouth and coughed hard. His face was blue and black, and it was obvious that he was about to die soon. When he heard Zhang Rang and Zhao Zhong coming over with medicine, he immediately said feebly, "Quick!"
The urgency in his tone was extremely strong. No one in this world is not afraid of death, especially the emperor.
In the past, even the famous ancestor Qin Shihuang sent Xu Fu to lead 3,000 boys and girls eastward from Penglai in search of the elixir of immortality. Similarly, in his later years, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty also changed from his former wiseness and began to be passionate about it.
In the longevity formula, he raised Taoist priests in captivity and practiced elixirs in order to seek the illusory longevity.
In this world, in fact, the more powerful people are, the more they may be afraid of death. In the face of death, everyone is equal, and there is no distinction between high and low. Whether it is an emperor who is above the throne or a commoner who is humbled to the ground,
Once dead, they are nothing more than a handful of loess.
At this moment, as the emperor, Liu Hong was about to die soon, and he was also terrified. Otherwise, Han Ling Emperor Liu Hong would not have lost his temper and killed eunuchs and maids one after another for no reason in the past few days.
Under the threat of death, Liu Hong didn't have any imperial air in him. At this moment, he was like a person who was about to die, extremely crazy.
"Gudong."
As he approached, Liu Hong, who was lying on the hospital bed, suddenly stood up, grabbed the medicine bowl, and drank it all, leaving traces of medicine on the corners of his mouth.
However, unlike in the past, after taking the medicine this time, Emperor Han Ling's condition did not improve at all, and he was still lying on the bed helplessly!
Feeling his physical condition, Han Ling Emperor Liu Hong felt infinite panic in his heart, but after the panic, there were bursts of emptiness.
After a long time, Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty finally said to Zhang Rang beside him, "Jian Shuo."
No one dares to delay the emperor's call. Not long after, Jian Shuo ran over on his feet: "Your Majesty, you are here to send me your slave, and here I am!"
Different from the cold looks of other eunuchs, although they were both eunuchs, Jian Shuo was physically strong and well versed in military affairs. He was not dressed like a eunuch, but like a military general.
Liu Hong said feebly: "The prince cannot be brought up. I intend to support the prince Xie as the emperor. You are the captain of the army and the marshal of the Xiyuan Army. You should be able to protect the new prince. Xie'er is generous and kind, so I will hand you over to him."
rest assured."
History is still surprisingly similar. Although the trajectory of things in this world has changed greatly with the arrival of Li Xiang, Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty still established the new Xiyuan Army.
However, because Yuan Shao and Cao Cao went out to serve as county guards, the Eight Captains of Xiyuan were somewhat different from those in history. However, they were still generally in the hands of the forces of Jian Shuo and General He Jin.
As soon as they heard the words of Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty, no matter how stupid they were, they would know that these were probably the words of the Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty. This time, the Emperor of the Han Ling Dynasty was probably really going to die. When they thought of this, several eunuchs burst into tears.
Kowtow: "Your Majesty! We will do our best to ensure that the new king ascends the throne!"
After hearing the promises made by Zhang Rang and Jian Shuo, Emperor Han Ling finally nodded with peace of mind. Then, he rolled his eyes, kicked his legs, and died convulsingly.
Everyone in the hall was crying. Zhang Rang, Zhao Zhong and Jian Shuo immediately rushed to the prince's residence in the harem, hoping to quickly invite Liu Xie to prepare for the next step.
Zhang Rang said eagerly while jogging: "Go to the prince's residence quickly. We must make the prince Xie the new emperor. If the prince Bian is allowed to ascend the throne, you and I will die without a burial place!"
Zhao Zhong was also somewhat thankful and said, "Thanks to the great power of General He Jin's family, His Majesty is worried. Otherwise, if Prince Bian is really allowed to take the throne, we will come and have a grudge against General He Jin.
At that time, there will be no way for you and me to survive, Jian Shuo, our survival lies with you, you are the commander of the Xiyuan Campus Lieutenant, you quickly go to Xiyuan to mobilize troops to guard the palace, and we will go to welcome the new king!"
"You still have to go to Kunning Hall and lie down." Zhang Rang immediately added.
Zhang Rang and others all understood that the prince's mother had died early, and the power of his relatives was almost zero, so they had to quickly help him obtain the support of Empress Dowager Dong.
However, fortunately, Empress Dowager Dong and Empress He had always had a grudge, and Empress Dowager Dong had always valued the Prince's Association, and with Emperor Ling's orders, it shouldn't be a problem to gain Empress Dowager Dong's support!
In fact, Zhang asked them to obey Han Ling Emperor's order and support Liu Xie's ascension to the throne, but it was not because of Han Ling Emperor's last order at all, it was just a forced choice!
During Liu Hong's life, he had a huge harem with three thousand beauties. However, there were only two surviving princes. Therefore, at this moment, the Shichangshi Group could only choose to support Liu Xie to prevent them from taking over after Liu Bian ascended the throne.
The Shi Changshi Group was liquidated by General He Jin.
And Liu Xie could only rely on the Ten Constant Attendants so that he could successfully ascend to the throne. Otherwise, no matter whether either side faced the prince and the generals alone, they would not be their opponents at all.
…
"Quick, speed up."
Jian Shuo commanded the new army in Xiyuan and rushed towards the palace. Time did not wait for us, and this was simply a big speed competition between the two parties.
At this moment, speed determines fate.
After finally seeing the direction of the palace gate, Jian Shuo immediately shouted: "Hey! I have mobilized my troops according to the emperor's order. Open the palace gate quickly and let me in!"
It stands to reason that as Jian Shuo was the commander of the Xiyuan Army and a popular figure around Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty, the soldiers guarding the palace gate would naturally know him. If under normal circumstances, Jian Shuo asked them to open the palace gate,
Naturally, these soldiers guarding the palace gate did not dare to disobey.
However, the situation today was a bit strange. Jian Shuo waited and waited, but no one opened the door.
When Jian Shuo saw this situation, his heart suddenly thumped. According to his guess, he must have arrived a step too late, right?
Looking up, Jian Shuo still saw a very familiar face but he didn't want to face it. At this time, on the palace wall, He Miao, the younger brother of General He Jin, was looking at Jian Shuo with a playful expression.
