Just as Liu Zhang and Xun You were discussing how to deal with He Jin, there was a rush outside the door.
"From the palace?"
The voice was so sharp that Liu Zhang could tell it was the eunuch's voice at a glance!
Xun You nodded slightly and his expression became solemn.
"My lord, could it be that your majesty...?"
Liu Zhang raised his hand to interrupt Xun You, then stood up and walked outside.
"General Wei! Your Majesty summons the general to the palace urgently!"
The eunuch who arrived was very panicked, panting heavily, and looked like he had run all the way here.
"Gongda, you come with me into the palace."
"Zilong, Ziyi, evil comes, the three of you quickly go and organize your troops!"
After giving orders to his generals, Liu Zhang no longer hesitated and rushed straight to the palace with Xun You.
Luoyang, the General's Mansion.
It was getting very late, but He Jin did not rest as usual and was still discussing important matters with his brother He Miao in the study.
He Jin himself was particularly lethargic. As soon as the sky darkened, he would feel endless tiredness and wanted to fall asleep immediately! However, Emperor Liu Hong's condition had become increasingly serious recently, and He Jin had no intention of sleeping anymore, for fear of delaying important events.
"General! Urgent report from the palace!"
A burst of hurried shouting came from outside the house. He Jin and He Miao rushed out, and it turned out to be Xu You.
"Ziyuan, why are you so flustered?"
Xu You took a few quick breaths to calm himself down a little.
"General, our people have reported from the palace that Your Majesty, Your Majesty may not be able to survive! Someone has been sent to urgently summon General Liu Zhang to go!"
He Jin looked shocked. He had just talked about Liu Hong's condition with his brother, but he didn't expect that Liu Hong would die soon!
"Did you only recruit Liu Zhang? Where are the other ministers?"
"No, I only invited Liu Zhang to go!"
Xu You shook his head and spoke crazily.
"Damn Liu Hong! It seems that he really plans to make Liu Xie emperor!"
He Jin was immediately furious. As a general and the head of his relatives, he did not call himself before his death. Didn't this clearly tell He Jin that it was absolutely impossible to make Liu Bian emperor?
"Brother, please keep doing this!"
He Miao shouted and asked He Jin to make a quick decision. With the strength of the He brothers in Luoyang, it was absolutely impossible to fight against Liu Zhang!
He Jin's eyes kept moving, thinking about the pros and cons in his mind. Now that Liu Hong would not let He Jin enter the palace, it was impossible to know what was going on with Liu Hong, whether he was really going to die or was pretending to die.
Once Liu Hong cheated his death, He Jin would have used all his cards, and he would have been convicted of treason!
On the contrary, once Liu Hongzhen died, He Jin failed to respond in time, and Liu Zhang thought of making Liu Xie emperor, then the good days of the He brothers would be over!
"Brother! What time has it been? Why are you still hesitating?"
He Miao shouted loudly again, waking up He Jin and allowing He Jin to make a decision.
"Inform them quickly and lead troops to Beijing immediately! Second brother, you go to the Royal Forest Camp immediately. You must have all the troops under control. There must be no problems!"
"As you command!"
He Miao was overjoyed and immediately accepted the order and left.
"General, tonight is destined to be an extraordinary night..."
Listening to Xu You's slightly joking tone, He Jin couldn't help but hold the sword at his waist tightly.
As expected, when Liu Zhang rushed to Liu Hong's palace, Liu Hong was already dying!
"His Majesty!"
Liu Zhang was brewing emotions all along the way. The moment he entered the house and saw Liu Hong, he started to burst into tears. It was so miserable!
"Your Majesty! I'm late!"
Liu Hong tried his best to open his eyes, and felt a little comforted when he saw Liu Zhang's appearance.
"My dear, I can't do it anymore!"
Liu Zhang held Liu Hong's hand tightly and kept cursing in his heart that Liu Hong died too late!
"His Majesty..."
"Listen, the only person I can trust now is you. You must fulfill my only wish!"
Liu Zhang nodded heavily and agreed directly without any consideration.
"Your Majesty, please tell me that I will not give up even if I die!"
Not to mention one wish, now even if there are ten thousand wishes, Liu Zhang will agree to it. As soon as Liu Hong closes his eyes, the troubled times will officially begin!
Liu Hong didn't know Liu Zhang's inner thoughts at all, and was so moved by his tears that he couldn't help himself!
"My beloved, after my death, I will support the prince Liu Xie to become the emperor!"
"Okay! I promise, Your Majesty!"
Liu Hong was still uneasy and pointed at Liu Zhang with all his strength.
"You swear..."
Liu Zhang instantly raised three fingers and swore to the sky.
"Liu Zhang swears here that Liu Xie will definitely ascend the throne and proclaim himself emperor! If he violates this oath, he will be punished by heaven and earth!"
Liu Zhang didn't care about this oath at all. Let's not talk about whether the oath is useful. Even if it is useful, he doesn't worry. Anyway, Liu Xie will become the emperor sooner or later!
But Liu Hong didn't think that. Instead, he looked at Liu Zhang with tears in his eyes, and nodded slightly with all his strength.
"Good...good...good..."
After saying three good words in a row, Liu Hong fell onto the bed in an instant and completely lost his life.
"His Majesty!"
Liu Zhang yelled and kept checking Liu Hong's body with his hands, and finally confirmed that it was correct!
Liu Hong is dead! The emperor of the Han Dynasty, the last rock of the Han Dynasty, fell!
A smile couldn't help but appear on Liu Zhang's face. How many years has it been? How many years have you been waiting? Liu Hong is finally dead!
Bang!
The door was opened quickly, and Zhang Rang ran in in a panic. Seeing Liu Hong's appearance, he already knew everything in his heart.
"His Majesty!"
Zhang Rang yelled, threw himself on Liu Hong and began to cry loudly. He was crying with a miserable aura and burst into tears!
Liu Zhang did not comfort Zhang Rang, but he could still feel that Zhang Rang was really sad.
After a while, Zhang Rang was probably exhausted and slowly stopped crying.
"General Wei..."
"Master Zhang."
Liu Zhang raised his hand and interrupted Zhang Rang. Now is not the time to listen to Zhang Rang, it is time to let Zhang Rang do what he wants!
"You know His Majesty's last wish, right?"
Zhang Rang nodded doubtfully, not understanding why Liu Zhang said this.
"Master Zhang, it will not be easy for Liu Xie to inherit the throne! Do you know where the biggest problem is?"
"Of course it's General He Jin. He is Liu Bian's uncle, so naturally he won't give up! And Liu Bian is the eldest son, so I'm afraid the ministers will also support He Jin!"
Zhang Rang's explanation was so comprehensive that Liu Zhang didn't have to explain it to him.
"Yes, His Majesty has passed away now. As ministers, we naturally have to do our best to fulfill His Majesty's last wish, don't you think?"
Zhang Rang suddenly felt something bad. He felt that Liu Zhang had changed and was different from before!
"General Wei, please speak directly if you have anything to say. Zhang Rang will definitely support General Wei with all his strength!"
"Okay! With Master Zhang's words, His Majesty will definitely rest in peace!"
Liu Zhang showed a strange smile, which made Zhang Rang feel even more terrified!
