The reason why Liu Hong feels that things are difficult is simple.
After the military parade, He Jin asked him to handle the aftermath of the military parade. Liu Hong agreed without thinking much.
As a result, by the end of November, almost December, this army showed no signs of leaving Luoyang. Instead, it set up camp in the open space around Luoyang City, showing signs of settling down.
Liu Hong was very surprised and sent someone to ask He Jin what was going on. He Jin's explanation was that these troops had traveled a long way to Luoyang and had to rest for a while, otherwise it would be too dishonorable to let them leave after the military parade.
.
Liu Hong thought about it and thought so, so he didn't ask any more questions.
In early December, there was still no movement from the army. Liu Hong couldn't help it and asked He Jin what was going on.
He Jin said that he heard the chimancer in his residence said that if he wanted to respond to the celestial phenomena and change the future chaos, the army would have to be stationed for at least a month before leaving Luoyang. Otherwise, it would not be enough to respond to the celestial phenomena, and all previous efforts would be in vain.
Liu Hong was already a little suspicious at this time, so he asked Taishi Ling to inquire about the celestial phenomena. He learned that the original Taishi Ling had resigned and returned to his hometown half a month ago, and the new Taishi Ling had not yet arrived.
Liu Hong was stunned. He began to feel as if he had been deceived and deceived by a huge scam.
The direct consequence of this scam was that He Jin brought the "soldiers from all directions" to Luoyang. These troops were not under the direct control of the emperor, but were under the command of the general.
But Liu Hong still didn't want to believe that he would be deceived by He Jin with his super high IQ, so he once again ordered He Jin to dismiss the troops that entered Luoyang in an attempt to prove his IQ.
Then he successfully proved that his IQ is indeed not high.
He Jin's new explanation is that the qi gazing magicians miscalculated the date. Soldiers from all directions must be stationed in Luoyang for at least half a year to completely respond to the celestial phenomena, change luck, and avoid the ending of bleeding in the two palaces. Otherwise, the ending of bleeding in the two palaces will not be possible.
avoid.
For the safety of Your Majesty, for the safety of the two palaces, for the safety of the Queen Mother, the Queen, and the princes, foreign troops from all directions will be stationed for half a year, Your Majesty.
After receiving He Jin's perfunctory answer, Liu Hong understood that he had been deceived.
I was completely deceived.
He was so angry that he got angry in the palace, and then he found Jian Shuo and asked Jian Shuo to mobilize Luoyang's army to deal with He Jin severely and let He Jin die.
Jian Shuo, who realized this later, was very panicked and quickly persuaded Liu Hong not to be so excited.
"Although you ordered the general to be controlled by me, how could the general be really controlled by me? Not to mention those Luoyang Forbidden Army, many of whom are close followers of the general or people who are close to the general serve as officers.
.
Although you don't let the general mobilize them at will, no one can say whether they will listen to me or the general at special moments. Currently, the only people in Luoyang City who can completely obey your orders are the Xiyuan Army.
Other armies have some problems.
In the past, there was a chance of winning by mobilizing troops, but now the troops from all directions are outside Luoyang City, only obeying the orders of the general. Even if the general cannot successfully mobilize the Luoyang Forbidden Army, those troops will obey the orders of the general. If they really want to fight,
The Xiyuan Army has only been established for a short time, so it is not necessarily sure of victory."
What Jian Shuo said was true, and Liu Hong knew it, so he was particularly angry.
"He Jin! How dare he deceive me! And Yuan Wei! Yuan Wei has nothing to do with this matter! They are in the same group! They are in the same group! How can I endure this kind of deception! I wish I could
Kill He Jin directly! I want to kill him!"
Liu Hong's face turned red with anger, and he stood up suddenly and was about to walk out. But after taking a few steps, his footsteps suddenly weakened and he fell to the ground.
Jian Shuo was so frightened that he rushed forward and hugged Liu Hong. He immediately asked other eunuchs to find a doctor. The whole palace was in a panic.
When Liu Hong woke up, it was already later that day. When he woke up, he saw his mother, Queen Mother Dong, sitting next to him, and Jian Shuo standing beside him.
"What's wrong with me?"
Liu Hong looked at Queen Mother Dong.
"The doctor said that my son has been overworked and is weak. He should not get angry suddenly, otherwise it will be very harmful to his body. My son, you can't make fun of your body."
Liu Hong was silent for a while, then nodded slowly.
"What mother taught me was that my son knew, by the way, Jian Shuo, about me fainting..."
"I have blocked the news. Except for the Queen Mother, no news has been leaked."
"Um."
Liu Hong nodded slowly and praised Jian Shuo: "Well done. If outsiders find out that I fainted, I don't know what they will do. This matter must be kept strictly sealed. Even grandpa... even Zhang
Let them and not let them know."
Jian Shuo nodded.
"I obey the decree."
Empress Dowager Dong patted Liu Hong on the shoulder distressedly.
"My son, just take a good rest. Don't think too much about these things for the time being. Thinking too much about things is harmful to your body and mind, and is not good for your body."
"Mom, it's not that I don't want to rest, but there are too many things that I can't let go of..."
Liu Hong smiled helplessly and said: "If I can't solve the evil plot of He Jin and the Yuan family, if Bian becomes emperor in the future, the power of the Liu family will definitely fall into the hands of the He family and the Yuan family. This is something I can't bear."
!”
When Empress Dowager Dong heard this, she became even more dissatisfied.
"I have long seen that the He family has evil intentions. How many times have I told you not to establish a son of the He family. Instead, establish a union and become the emperor. Bian will inevitably be disturbed by the He family. Only by becoming the emperor with cooperation can you avoid being affected by the He family.
Disturbance, isn't it?"
Liu Hong shook his head.
"Mother, you can't say this. After all, He is still the queen, and Bian is still the queen's legitimate son. Now, he can even be regarded as my eldest son, and he is already fifteen years old. He is the most suitable heir. Xie is really
I am a little younger and a concubine, how can I cooperate with the crown prince?"
"So, you should depose the He family as queen as soon as possible."
Empress Dowager Dong hurriedly said: "You are still young and in the prime of the Spring and Autumn Period. While there is still an opportunity, we can depose the He family from the position of empress, depose He Jin from the position of general, and then make Xie the crown prince for ten years."
Twenty years later, when Xie ascends the throne and becomes emperor, won’t the matter be settled like this?”
When Liu Hong heard this, he smiled bitterly.
"If these things can be solved so easily, why bother to train a new army separately? It is because the He family has already established its power and is deeply rooted in Luoyang City, and can affect the whole body with one move, so I am forced to train a new army separately.
military."
Empress Dowager Dong looked dissatisfied.
"I told you to destroy her a long time ago, but you didn't listen, and now you regret it?"
"I do regret it a bit, but it was not simple at that time. The ten permanent servants were all speaking for the He family. If I rashly abolished the He family and caused the ten permanent servants to worry about me, how could I stabilize the situation in Luoyang?
At that time, my son needed ten constant attendants."
