Han family achievements

Chapter 11
"My hussar general Dong Zhong, see Your Majesty, see the Queen Mother."

Dong Zhong ran in quickly, raised his hand in salute, and said loudly.

I really can't leave this hussar general.

Liu Bian looked at He Jin in front of him, the corners of his mouth were playful and he didn't speak.

This Dong's family is the former relative, and they were once famous.

To say that in the Great Han Dynasty, foreign relatives were in power, it was really an ancestral system.

Starting from the Lu family, Empress Lu needless to say, then there is the Huo family, Huo Guang is so awesome, and the abolished emperor has done everything else, and then there is the Wang family, Wang Mang is even more awesome than Huo Guang, directly usurping the throne Oh, there was the Dou family in the Eastern Han Dynasty, but it was also lawless. The royal relatives and relatives were ignored, and the Liang family was behind.
After the Liang family was destroyed, the eunuchs began to rule over the Han Dynasty. After decades, the relatives reappeared again, and He Jin, the uncle of the country, was in power.

Liu Bian didn't speak, Empress Dowager He and the Dong family also had a lot of grievances, so naturally they didn't look good, and they just cared about eating.

He Jin lost face in front of Liu Bian, sat up straight without turning his head, and said in a deep voice, "What qualifications do you have to come here?"

Dong Zhong was still a little afraid of He Jin, especially this hussar general who had to agree with He Jin, and said with a cautious smile: "Return to the general, and I have an order to persuade the empress dowager to leave the palace."

He Jin looked at Empress Dowager He with questioning eyes.

Empress Dowager He snorted coldly, and said: "She is from a different family, so she should not stay in the palace."

He Jin understood that Empress Dowager Dong wanted to establish Liu Xie, and Empress Dowager He was absolutely incompatible, and said: "There is no need to persuade, I will send someone to escort her out of the palace!"

Dong Zhong was taken aback, and said anxiously: "The Empress Dowager said that she can go out, that is, she wants to take King Bohai with her."

As soon as Liu Bian wanted to speak, Empress Dowager He said directly: "Let her take care of you, brother, you send someone to watch them, and don't allow them to liaise with the courtiers again!"

He Jin also felt that it was a good thing for Empress Dowager Dong and the prince to leave the capital together. No one would threaten his nephew's throne anymore, and his general would naturally sit more steadily, so he nodded and said, "Okay, I'll send someone to arrange it."

"I don't agree!"

Liu Bian directly vetoed it, saying: "Grandmother can leave, but Ninth Brother can't. Dong Zhong, you go and tell grandma, this matter is settled like this!"

Dong Zhong was extremely reluctant to go to Queen Mother Dong again, but seeing Liu Bian's resolute tone and his lips moved, he could only say: "Yes."

Empress Dowager He was a little unhappy, and argued with Liu: "Bian'er, isn't it a good thing that the old lady left with Liu Xie? Why do you have to keep Liu Xie?"

He Jin said: "I also think it's useless to keep Liu Xie, I'll send someone to send them out of the palace."

He Jin's face was full of flesh and blood, even if he didn't speak, he was showing a fierce look, coupled with the aura of the superior, it was even more compelling, as if he was not talking to the emperor, but more like lecturing his subordinates.

Liu Bian was expressionless and said, "That's the decision. General, my enthronement ceremony, my father's funeral, and the remnants of the Yellow Turban Army outside. You need to take care of so many things, so don't waste time in the palace." gone."

Liu Bian hated He Jin a little, and didn't want to continue to argue with him.

He Jin was stunned, this is... to drive me away?

His eyes glared angrily, and he became more and more dissatisfied with this nephew in his heart. He stopped holding back and said in a deep voice, "Liu Xie can't stay, let alone Queen Mother Dong! I'll handle this matter!"

From his point of view, this big nephew was brought up by him, and the Twelve Permanent Attendants were basically eradicated by him, and no one in the whole big man could disobey him!
Liu Bian's 'disobedience' to him made him very angry!
Liu Bian and He Jin looked at each other, and anger surged in their hearts.

Is this He Jin really disregarding propriety?
Liu Bian took a deep breath secretly, without giving in at all, and said: "I will leave this matter to Dong Zhong to handle, so the general should not worry about it. There are so many complicated matters, I will not leave the general to eat."

He Jin's face trembled, his eyes stared like copper bells, he looked like a butcher, ready to kill a pig.

Liu Bian didn't expect He Jin to be so imposing, so he couldn't help but sit up straight, with an indifferent expression and firm gaze.

Empress Dowager He saw her heart tremble suddenly, stood up quickly, put her head between the two, and hurriedly said: "Brother, try this soup, I made it myself. This matter is up to me. The old lady is out of the palace. Liu Xie stays."

Immediately turned back, looked at Liu Bian, frowned, but said with a smile: "Bian'er, try this. Your uncle is also doing it for your own good, don't get angry with your uncle, he will be an adult soon."

With Queen Mother He's reassurance, He Jin seemed to realize that something was wrong, restrained his expression, and suppressed his anger and said: "Since the Queen Mother said so, then follow the Queen Mother, I will go first."

He Jin didn't look at Liu Bian again, got up and left.

Looking at his back, Liu Bian couldn't let go of his anger.

These relatives, especially those who have grown up in power, are easy to devour the Lord!

Jian Shuo could see clearly from the side, his expression darkened, and his waist bowed even deeper.

Empress Dowager He looked at Liu Bian with a complicated expression, but hesitated to speak.

She couldn't understand this son anymore. In the past, Liu Bian was timid and timid, and he didn't dare to speak loudly.

But since he succeeded to the throne and became the emperor, his temperament has changed a lot. Not only did he stop the officials in Deyang Palace, he quelled the palace change, he even dared to confront his uncle, the great general He Jin.

Liu Bian couldn't figure out what Queen Mother He was thinking, so he smiled slightly and said, "Queen Mother, I am the emperor now, and you are the Queen Mother. We can't behave like before with our tails between our legs. We are afraid of our father, our grandmother, and the queen mother. , Zhao Zhong and the others, I want to be an emperor who is not afraid of anyone."

Empress Dowager He looked at Liu Bian, and suddenly remembered the frightened days when the late emperor wanted to abolish Liu Bian and establish Liu Xie. She couldn't help feeling sour from it, her eyes were red, she got up and hugged Liu Bian, crying: "Bian'er is not afraid, With your mother here, no one can bully you!"

Liu Bian was stunned, why did he start crying?

Empress Dowager He cried for a long time, then let go of Liu Bian, wiped her eyes with her back to Jian Shuo, Pan Yin, etc., and said softly to Liu Bian, "If we mother and son have a good talk at night, I'll go to tidy up my appearance first. "

Liu Bian nodded, and he was relieved when Empress Dowager He left. He was the last person to act in this kind of emotional drama.

Immediately, he caught a glimpse of Jian Shuo and Pan Yin with their heads down, his heart moved, and he said to Pan Yin, "Come here."

Pan Yin trotted to Liu Bian, bowed his body, his face was extremely respectful.

"Come here with your ears," Liu Bian said.

Pan Yin hurriedly approached and stretched out his head.

Liu Bian whispered a few words in his ear.

An expression of fear appeared on Pan Yin's face immediately, and his body was shaking.

Liu Bian said in a low voice: "If he has any abnormalities, you can take a dagger and kill him on the spot. Can you do it? Don't speak, nod or shake your head."

Pan Yin clenched her right hand violently, and her breath became short of breath.

Jian Shuo has been in the palace for more than 20 years, and he has followed Jian Shuo for five or six years, and he knows how powerful Jian Shuo is.In particular, Jian Shuo is tall and powerful, and has some martial arts skills. It is too difficult to kill him!
But Pan Yin didn't hesitate for a moment, and nodded heavily.

Liu Bian hummed and said, "Come on!"

Immediately, eight heavy-armored guards appeared outside the door, with uniform footsteps, blood on their bodies, murderous, strode in, knelt on one knee and said: "See Your Majesty!"

Looking at the eight guards, Pan Yin felt cold all over.

Liu Bian remained expressionless, and said, "These eight guards were selected by Colonel Cao, and they will be assigned to you by Da Changqiu."

Pan Yin didn't know what Liu Bian meant, bowed his body, and said in a trembling voice: "Yes."

Jian Shuo glanced at the eight guards and remained still.

Liu Bian looked at him and said, "Jian Qing, together with Da Changqiu, immediately interrogate Zhao Zhong, Zhang Rang and others, torture them!"

"The villain obeys the order." Pan Yin and Jian Shuo agreed, and slowly withdrew.

Liu Bian had another chance to rest. He closed his eyes, lay on the chair, and thought while resting.

At this moment, the confrontation between Dong Zhong and Empress Dowager Dong has reached its peak.

Dong Zhong refused to give up his Hussar General, and Empress Dowager Dong refused to leave Liu Xie alone in the palace.

The two of them didn't give in, they stared at each other, neither of them spoke.

Liu Xie looked at the two people who were not giving in to each other, and said to Queen Mother Dong: "Grandmother, I will stay."

"No!" Empress Dowager Dong sternly objected.

But Liu Xie smiled and said: "Grandmother, since the emperor said that, he didn't mean to harm me. I am in and out of the palace, but it is the same. As long as the situation subsides in a few days, the emperor will not embarrass me. , but the grandmother stays in the palace, the queen mother must be worried, the grandson stays, and the grandson is also worried, it is better to go out of the palace."

Liu Xie is only eight years old. He behaves dignifiedly, confidently and calmly. At a young age, he has an extraordinary bearing, speaks clearly and logically.

Listening to his words, Empress Dowager Dong hesitated again and again, hugged Liu Xie, and cried: "My poor child, I will suffer from you in the future..."

Liu Xie smiled and wiped away Empress Dowager Dong's tears, and said, "Don't worry, grandma, my relationship with the emperor is still very good. With him around, I can't suffer. Grandma is out of the palace, without me by her side, she must take good care of herself." , wear, and use, I have prepared everything, and wrote it on the silk, and grandma remembers to add and replace it on time..."

Empress Dowager Dong cried even louder.

But Dong Zhong on the opposite side couldn't help laughing.

If Empress Dowager Dong is willing to leave the palace, then his hussar general will be safe!

While Dong Chong was laughing, He Jin went out of the palace, sat on the carriage, his face was ashen, but he had nowhere to go, so he could only shout: "Let Chen Lin come to the General's Mansion tomorrow!"

The guards outside the car were startled and hurriedly responded.

In the palace, in a dungeon not far from Fanglin Garden, 11 people including Zhang Rang, Zhao Zhong, and Guo Sheng were imprisoned here.

Inside the prison door, eleven people were locked in a cell, which was very crowded.

Seeing Jian Shuo and Pan Yin approaching, each of them looked gloomy, full of anger and hatred, but kept their own identities, and did not curse or kneel down to beg for mercy.

Zhang Rang knelt and sat in the middle, looked at Jian Shuo, and said sharply: "Jian Shuo, you are the most important and trusted person of the late emperor, and you are also the person who entrusted you to Gu. If the late emperor saw what you did today, I don't know how he would feel." .”

Jian Shuo looked down at these people condescendingly, and said, "Although the late emperor had intentions, he did not make a decision. Donggong succeeded to the throne and conformed to the general order, as it should be! You plan to abolish the establishment, which is tantamount to treason, and the crime is unforgivable! Now, Your Majesty Forgive me, let you wait to hand over the list of party members to atone for your crime with family wealth, please explain."

Zhao Zhong, Zhang Rang and the others obviously discussed it and remained unmoved. They were very calm.

They all looked at Zhang Rang, but no one spoke indiscriminately.
