Showdown: I'm Reborn

Chapter 218 Borrowing Your Head

What did Wang Mang do?
If you talk about it in detail, you can’t finish it in three days and three nights. In short: Wang Mang used his status as a foreign relative to finally usurp the Han Dynasty and destroy the Western Han Dynasty. It's hard to say without the Eastern Han Dynasty!

But at this moment, before Emperor Ling died, Wang Mang was mentioned, what else could He Jin do besides kowtow to show his loyalty?
Dong dong dong

He Jin kowtowed very hard, blood came out after a while.

If it was normal, He Jin wouldn't be like this.But now it is obvious that Emperor Ling will have a good life in a few days. If Emperor Ling can't think about it alone at this time, he might die with He Jin.

You can't ask a dying emperor to still maintain a view of the overall situation and maintain reason, this is unrealistic!
Who dares to bet on whether Lingdi can continue to maintain his sanity at this moment?

Besides, the emperor of the Han family has never been a broad-minded person. The emperor of the old Liu family is notoriously ruthless, notoriously turning his face and denying others, notoriously speaking without words, notoriously narrow-minded.

Anyway, He Jin really felt the threat of death at this moment, he didn't want to die.Then what should be done?

Looking at He Jin who kept kowtowing, Emperor Ling waved his hand, and He Jin felt that he couldn't move, as if he was being dragged, and could no longer kneel down.

"Suigao, I also want to establish the prince as the crown prince, and I have even drawn up an imperial edict." Having said this, Zhang Rang promptly produced an imperial edict.

He Jin took a look at the imperial decree. It was a typical parallel prose, interspersed with four and six. It was very literary at first glance, and the ink was still fresh.

As for the content, it is also very simple: Prince Bian is He Hou's parent and son, he is the eldest son, he is smart since childhood, and can entrust important affairs, and now he canonize Prince Bian as the prince.

When He Jin repeatedly observed the imperial decree for a quarter of an hour, Emperor Ling spoke again: "However, when I think of Wang Jujun, I can't help but worry, wondering whether it is too hasty, whether it should be destroyed This decree."

Hearing this, He Jin recalled Lingdi's previous words again in his mind: listen to Yuan Shao's words, recruit wise and resourceful people, borrow Yuanjiu's capital internally, occupy the power of auxiliary government externally, and monopolize the power of the court...

With an idea, He Jin understood Emperor Ling's thoughts, and stood up directly: "Don't worry, Your Majesty, the old minister will kill the Yuan brothers and break with the scholars!"

He was worried about He Jin, afraid that He Jin would become the second Wang Mang, but how did Wang Mang usurp the Han?
He colluded with scholars and aristocratic families, and finally usurped the Han to stand on his own.

Therefore, what He Jin has to do is cut off from the scholars.

How to cut with scholars?
The best way is to hack Yuan Shao, Yuan Shu, Chen Lin and other representatives of the scholars to death with one knife, stab them to death with one sword, and kill them all.

With this nomination certificate, Emperor Ling is willing to believe in He Jin, willing to make He Jin a real auxiliary general, and willing to make Liu Bian the crown prince and inherit the great rule.

And what He Jin has to do is to create a nomination certificate and completely cut off from the group of scholars.

And at this moment, whose head is more valuable than the two brothers Yuan Shu and Yuan Shao?

These two brothers are so bold that they dared to set fire to the palace, even dared to attack the palace, who will die if they don't die?
Thinking of this, He Jin stood up, put his hand on the sword at his waist, and strode towards the door. At the same time, dozens of palace guards left with He Jin.

Although the palace was huge, He Jin came outside the palace very quickly. Looking at He Jin who was intact, Yuan Shao couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

Seeing this scene, He Jin couldn't help but sigh, if possible, he would absolutely not want to kill Yuan Shao at this moment and completely break with the scholars.

However, when he thought of the imperial decree drawn up by Emperor Ling: the imperial decree to canonize the prince as the crown prince, He Jin became more and more determined.

Once the prince Bian became the crown prince and ascended the throne, He Jin, before Liu Bian became an adult, would be the undisputed No. 1 in the world.

As for what to do about the backlash from the aristocratic family caused by this, let’s go back to it. Compared with the temptation of No. 1 in the world, what is the backlash of a mere aristocratic family?
Perhaps in the eyes of ordinary people, the aristocratic family is extremely powerful, unimaginably powerful, but in the eyes of He Jin, the high-level and core of the empire, the aristocratic family is nothing more than that!

Yes, He Jin also admitted that the combined power of the entire family group indeed surpassed the power of the royal family, and even surpassed the power of the imperial court, but it is impossible for the family to be united.

As long as the top officials of the imperial court are willing, it will not be difficult to destroy any family, even the so-called Yuan family of four generations and three princes.

Therefore, Yang Guang could directly kill a series of aristocratic families surnamed Li according to the prophecy that peaches and plums won the world. At that time, the Guanlong family and the Guandong clan did not dare to fart.

Therefore, even though the civil servants are powerful, Chongzhen still kills the chief minister of the cabinet if he wants to, and kills six ministers if he wants to kill six ministers.

This is just like the people. Anyone who has studied politics in Daxia knows that the power of the people is the greatest.

However, anyone who has studied history knows that although the power contained in the common people is the greatest and strongest, they cannot be exerted without organization.

In fact, not only the common people have similar characteristics, but also civil servants and aristocratic families.

No matter how powerful a single civil servant or a single family is, it is nothing more than that in front of the imperial power, the emperor, and the powerful ministers.

For the Son of Heaven and the powerful ministers, they never worry about a certain family. For them, whether to eliminate a certain family depends only on whether they are willing to pay the price!
That's it!

The party members are the groups that organize the family.

It's also funny to say that before the disaster of the party's imprisonment, although the aristocratic families had a tacit understanding, they had a tacit understanding to join hands to fight against the imperial power, but it was only a tacit understanding.

However, after the disaster of party imprisonment, the party members were wanted, and the scholars tried every means to rescue the party members, and slowly formed the most original organization.

Scholars and aristocratic families, through the loose group of party members, formed a relatively primitive alliance, party, force, and organization.

But the united aristocratic families and scholars suddenly discovered that the imperial power is just a paper tiger!

He walked these few steps very slowly, thinking a lot in his mind, the closer he was to Yuan Shao, the clearer his thoughts became.

At the beginning, he was thinking of killing Yuan Shao by sneak attack, and unexpectedly cut off Yuan Shao's head.

But now he decided to change the method and let Yuan Shao commit suicide.

"Benchu, do you know what I'm holding in my hand?"

"This is an imperial edict. You can tell by the color and style. This is the highest standard edict. Generally speaking, it will only be used when the new emperor ascends the throne, when the crown prince or empress is enshrined."

"Therefore, this imperial edict should be for the canonization of the prince as the crown prince. Congratulations, General, General Hexi, Your Majesty is asking for help."

"Congratulations, general. From now on, the general will be the assistant minister." This is Chen Lin.

Cao Cao also joined the congratulatory crowd with some doubts. He only felt that this was unscientific and unreasonable.

So the question is, what price did He Jin pay to survive this edict?
Soon, Cao Cao heard He Jin's cheerful laughter.

"At the beginning, now the prince Bian is only one step away from becoming the prince. Are you willing to contribute to the prince Bian's ascension to the throne?"

Yuan Shao was a little strange, but he still nodded his head: "If there is anything you can use Shao for, general, just say it."

"That's good. This time, the general intends to borrow your head."

Hearing this, Yuan Shao subconsciously drew his sword, but he suddenly realized that he couldn't move. This is because a master secretly locked him with divine intent. The last time he encountered this situation was when Yuan Ji became the head of the family.

Seeing Yuan Shao who didn't respond, He Jin didn't care: "At first, His Majesty said that he didn't want to see the second Jujun Wang, and I don't want to be the second Jujun Wang either."

"To tell you the truth, I, He Jin, was a butcher back then. Later, by chance, I was promoted all the way and finally achieved the position of general. For me, this life is really worth it. I have never usurped a man. The idea of ​​self-reliance."

"At the beginning, do you have it?"

Hearing this, Yuan Shao still didn't answer, but He Jin also understood, after all, he was about to die, let alone keep silent, even if he was cursing, He Jin could understand.

Immediately, He Jin looked at Chen Lin who was at the side: "Master, do you have the idea of ​​usurping the Han and standing on your own?"

Chen Lin was shocked, and shook her head violently: "No, absolutely not! Before today, Lin's biggest dream was to support the Han family!"

He Jin smiled slightly, and looked at Cao Cao. This time, before he could speak, Cao Cao took the initiative to answer: "Cao didn't either. The general should know that Cao Cao's biggest dream is to engrave the ancient Chinese history on his tomb after his death." General Caohou's Tomb."

"That's right, how can ordinary people have the idea of ​​rebellion? You don't, and neither do I. What's more, how can I usurp the Han and stand on my own?"

"I know, in fact, you have always looked down on me at the beginning, thinking that I am a butcher who butchers pigs. It is just luck, coupled with a beautiful girl, and then by chance, I have been promoted all the way, and I have the status I am today."

"I also know that at the beginning, you always wanted to take advantage of me secretly, and always wanted to use the identity and power of the General's Mansion to control the world."

"In the past, at the beginning, you also used the authority of the General's Mansion as the mastermind to do a lot of private affairs. I know all of this."

"But in the past, I didn't pay much attention to these, because at that time, you really brought a large number of scholars to enrich the General's Mansion."

In the beginning, the General's Mansion was indeed an empty shelf.

But it's different now, the Grand General's Mansion has been established for five years!It has been five years since He Jin opened his mansion and established his teeth.

In five years, with the status and authority of a great general, a small amount of things thrown out can cause a large number of scholars to pounce on them like wild dogs.

Five years is enough for He Jin to understand how the General's Mansion works, and it's enough for He Jin to stand at the top of the empire, to look down on the whole man from the level of the General's Mansion, and it's enough to train He Jin to a certain height .

You, Yuan Shao, are the mastermind. Don't you have other advisers under He Jin's command?Could it be that He Jin doesn't have his own fellow villagers?

He Jin is from Nanyang, and you, Yuan Shao, are from Runan. You are not from the same county, not even a fellow villager, so do He Jin's fellow villagers admire Yuan Shao?

Why do you occupy a high position in the General's Mansion by yourself, a foreigner?
Despicable stranger!

"These five years have been a battle between monarchs and ministers. In terms of past affection, I can promise Benchu ​​that as long as you commit suicide here, I will protect your wife and children, let them grow up smoothly, and let you live like this." One line, the smooth inheritance will not cut off the inheritance."

Hearing this, Yuan Shao put his hand on the hilt of his sword again, wanting to draw his sword and stand up to kill countless times!
Who to kill?
Needless to say, of course he killed He Jin in front of him!

However, Cao Cao directly pulled Yuan Shao out: "At first, calm down, calm down, calm down!"

As he said that, Cao Cao took Yuan Shao a few steps to the side, and began to transmit the secret message: "At first, you were not alone, you had a wife and children, you had a family, and even you had many staff and friends. With this sword, not only you will die, but they will also die together."

Speaking of this, Cao Cao's face was a little sad, he recalled the past, and recalled some past events in those years.

In the fourth year of Jianning (171), Song Shi, the younger sister of his good friend Song Qi, was established as the queen by Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty. So En and the Song family, and his father Song Feng, were appointed as Zhijinwu, and he was named as the lord of his hometown. Song Qi He was also named the Marquis of Li Qiang.

In the first year of Xiping (172), Song Qi, a good friend, married the Cao family and married the daughter of Cao Chi, the servant and captain of Changshui, Cao Cao, who was Song Qi's wife-in-law.

Cao Cao at that time, it is not an exaggeration to say that he was at the pinnacle of his life!
He was originally from the line of eunuchs, and now he is expected to follow the path of relatives. Officials and relatives, the buffs are stacked, and the two buffs are added together. At that time, Cao Cao had a vague feeling of flying up by train.

Therefore, Cao Cao in his youth, together with Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu, could become a life-long wanderer in Luoyang City.

Why can't others, because they don't have such a strong background!

But the good times didn't last long. In the first year of Guanghe (178), Empress Song died, and died of political struggle. Then Song Qi was also killed, and Cao Cao was also implicated. If it weren't for his father, Cao Song, who was not an ordinary person, or His father, Cao Song, has deep connections, is rich and powerful, maybe Cao Cao will also be implicated along with him.

At that time, Cao Cao also thought about it, so he drew his sword and fought with the eunuchs.

But later, the sword was never drawn out!

Because Cao Cao found that he was no longer the young man he was back then. He already had a wife and children, not to mention that he had a very old father who was working hard to wipe his ass.

Maybe this is the difference between boys and men. Boys can be innocent, innocent, dreamy, and speak their dreams out loud. Others will only smile when they hear it, and maybe even encourage them.

But if it is a man, he has a responsibility on his body, he is no longer alone, and he has a family, so naturally he dare not speak out about his dreams.

At this moment, although Cao Cao didn't say much, Yuan Shao understood his thoughts, and Yuan Shao was extremely sad and indignant at this moment.

"I'm not reconciled!"
