In the early morning of the next day, all the staff under He Jin gathered at the General's Mansion. There was a lot of commotion last night, and some news finally leaked out!
"Everyone, the news of His Majesty's funeral came to the palace last night. I sent people to confirm it repeatedly. The palace replied that His Majesty is fine. I wonder if you have any opinions?"
Rumors about Luoyang are flying all over the sky now, and He Jin can't make up his mind, so he can only find his staff to discuss.
"General, the news in the palace is controlled by Zhang Rang. Even the imperial guards can't get too close! Once Zhang Rang deliberately conceals the news, I'm afraid we won't be able to get the truth easily!"
Cao Cao stood up. Although he was a descendant of eunuchs, he had no good impression of eunuchs!
"Well, Meng De is right! But if His Majesty is really buried, why would they keep the funeral secret?"
"Of course it's about the heir!"
Yuan Shao also took the initiative to raise sensitive issues and caught He Jin's mind immediately.
"General, as we all know, the eldest prince Liu Bian is the eldest son. He is humble and has excellent moral character. He is definitely the best candidate to inherit the throne! But I heard that Zhang Rang, Liu Zhang and others intend to make the second prince Liu Xie the emperor.
The general must be on guard!"
He Jin's face instantly darkened, this was what he cared about the most!
Yuan Shao said it too euphemistically. It was Zhang Rang and Liu Zhang's intention to establish Liu Xie as emperor. This was obviously Liu Hong's intention! He Jin naturally understood this deeply!
Once Zhang Rangmi did not mourn and pushed Liu Xie to the throne, everything would be too late!
"Oh! These damn eunuchs! I wish I could kill them all!"
Everyone here hates eunuchs. If He Jin can really make up his mind to kill eunuchs, he will definitely get support!
A piece of news came, breaking the silence in the hall.
"General, there is news from the palace that Your Majesty is dying. The general is summoned urgently!"
He Jin was slightly startled and couldn't help but feel a little confused. Could it be that he was overthinking it? Liu Hong had no intention of making Liu Xie the emperor?
"Who else was summoned?"
"General Wei, Taiwei, and other important ministers have all been summoned! The people in the palace are very anxious and asked the general to go as soon as possible."
He Jin stood up and was about to walk out, but Cao Cao blocked his way.
"General, the situation in the palace is unclear now, so we can't take risks easily! Why not let the general of chariots and cavalry lead the imperial guards to protect us!"
He Jin thought for a moment and did not agree with Cao Cao's suggestion.
"No, if His Majesty is really about to die, and I lead the troops there, it will inevitably be criticized. And since Your Majesty took the initiative to give me the order, he may not have any intention of abolishing the elders and establishing younger ones! I can't take the risk!"
He Jin's idea is also very reasonable. Once He Jin leads troops into the palace, what will Liu Hong think? He Jin will be accused of treason!
"What if it's a conspiracy by Zhang Rang and others!"
Cao Cao did not get out of the way, his face full of anxiety.
"Get out of the way!"
He Jin was a little angry. If he didn't see Liu Hong because of Cao Cao's delay, he would regret it.
Yuan Shao on the side walked over quickly and pulled away from Cao Cao who was blocking the way.
"General, do you think this will work? I will lead the Royal Guards to wait at the gate of the palace to intimidate Zhang Rang and others."
He Jin thought for a while and felt that Yuan Shao's proposal was good. After all, having soldiers and horses is not a bad thing!
"Okay, let's just worry about Ben Chu!"
He Jin entered the palace without any obstruction, and Zhang Rang was already waiting for He Jin in the palace.
"General, you are finally here. Follow me to see His Majesty!"
At this time, He Jin ignored his dislike for Zhang Rang and followed Zhang Rang into the palace without thinking, but the sight in front of him shocked He Jin.
Liu Hong was indeed still in bed, but there was no movement at all, and his face had turned blue. It was obvious that he had not just died!
"Zhang Rang, your majesty...his majesty?"
Zhang Rang showed a sinister smile, and then looked at He Jin proudly.
"What's wrong, Your Majesty? Why is the General so hesitant?"
He Jin suddenly felt something bad, and cold sweat continued to appear on his forehead! Zhang Rang's smile was so weird, and Liu Hong definitely didn't just die!
"Zhang...Master Zhang...Your Majesty, when will the funeral be held...?"
He Jin kept swallowing his saliva and moved his legs back unconsciously. The sense of crisis was getting stronger and stronger.
"Haha, His Majesty died last night. When he was dying, he specifically asked the old slave to have the general accompany His Majesty on the road!"
"What!"
He Jin was shocked when he heard that, and ran out, but after running a few steps, he was forced back. Several sharp knives were already pressed against his neck!
"Zhang...Master Zhang...don't...don't be impulsive! If something happens...it can be discussed!"
He Jin's intestines were filled with regret, and he kept complaining in his heart!
I really regret not listening to Cao Cao's words, now I am in such a situation!
"Haha, General, you are still so naive now? No wonder General Wei has always looked down on you and regarded you as a pig butcher and a meat seller!"
Zhao Zhong kept rubbing He Jin's shoulder with his sword, with a sinister look on his face. The hatred between him and He Jin was simply irresolvable!
"Liu Zhang! Did Liu Zhang ask you to do this? Liu Zhang! Come out!"
He Jin already had an idea in his mind. Zhang Rang and others would definitely not have the courage. There must be Liu Zhang's support behind them!
He Jin knew that he was doomed, and he couldn't help but feel a sense of sadness in his heart!
What kind of person Liu Zhang was, how could he give himself a chance to make a comeback?
puff!
A pain spread throughout his body. He Jin looked down and saw that the sword had been inserted straight into his body!
Zhang Rang was the first to plunge his sword into He Jin's body, and then several eunuchs swung their swords in unison, stabbing He Jin to the ground! Zhao Zhong still did not understand his hatred and continued to wreak havoc on He Jin's body until it was beyond recognition.
He Jin was already lying in a pool of blood, too dead to die! Zhang Rang didn't hesitate at all, chopped off He Jin's head with a sword, and walked out of the hall with it.
"Your Majesty has a decree to kill the traitor He Jin, but now He Jin has been killed by me!"
Zhang Rang said this to the imperial guards guarding the palace. He also needs the protection of some soldiers and horses now!
Yuan Shao, Cao Cao and others were still guarding the palace gate with two thousand soldiers. He Jin went in and there was no movement for so long, and he was extremely anxious.
"What a disaster! What a disaster!"
I saw Guo Sheng, the regular servant, running madly in front of Yuan Shao, shouting all the way.
Yuan Shao knew that Guo Sheng was from the same hometown as He Jin. If there was anyone among the Ten Constant Attendants who was comparable to He Jin, it was definitely Guo Sheng!
When Queen He was able to enter the palace, and then later when she was promoted to queen, Guo Sheng made a lot of efforts!
"Guo Changshi, what happened?"
"What a disaster! Your Majesty died last night. Zhang Rang and others plotted to kill the general. I just received the news!"
"What!"
Yuan Shao shouted loudly, and his eyes instantly became splitting!
"It's not good!"
A panicked voice shouted from a distance, approaching Yuan Shao.
