The Great Thief of the Three Kingdoms, save Mrs. Du at the beginning

He Jin’s laughter echoed loudly.

at this time.

In the hall, Li Ru and Dong Zhuo were both stunned.

Tong Guan asked someone to risk his life to deliver the imperial edict. Liu Hong's will would make the third prince Liu Lin the crown prince of the auxiliary country?
How can this be?

In an instant, Dong Zhuo looked at Li Ru aside in surprise.

It seems to be asking, didn't you say that Liu Yu had an affair with the queen and gave birth to the third prince Liu Lin?
Why does Liu Hong's will now make the third prince Liu Lin the crown prince of the auxiliary country?

Li Ru looked at Dong Zhuo's surprised eyes and understood what Dong Zhuo wanted to say.

But at this time, Li Ru was also confused.

Didn't Liu Yu have an affair with the queen?
However, if Liu Yu had not had an affair with the queen, then why did Liu Hong secretly ask aristocratic families from all over the country to stop the business of the powerful chamber of commerce, and then made Liu Lin, who had previously been promising the crown prince, the title of Zhuojun King?

This makes no sense! !
Could it be that Liu Hong secretly asked aristocratic families from all over the world to stop the business of the Qiang Sheng Chamber of Commerce? Is it because Liu Hong was afraid that Liu Yugong's high power would shock the master and that he could not control Liu Yu, so he stopped the business of the Qiang Sheng Chamber of Commerce? ?
But, then why was the queen banned, and why was the third prince Liu Lin, who had the most hope for unification, actually the Prince of Zhuojun who was banned?
Then Liu Yu and Chen soldiers went to Dang County and drilled vigorously. Are they trying to frighten the court?

Even Liu Hong did not meet with civil and military officials for fear of revealing things!
It doesn’t make sense, everything doesn’t make sense.

Li Ru frowned, but he was thinking about everything quickly.

"Hahaha, okay, there is an edict from the emperor, and Lin'er is appointed as the crown prince of the auxiliary state. I, the general, will see who dares to go against me. Dong Zhuo, don't you think so?"

He Jin laughed loudly and asked Dong Zhuo aside.

Dong Zhuo listened to He Jin's question, a smile appeared on his stiff face, and he said with a smile:
"Yes, yes, with this holy sign, we won't be afraid anymore!"

Dong Zhuo's words of false flattery resounded loudly, making He Jin laugh again.

just.

On the side, Li Ru listened to Dong Zhuo's words, "Yes, yes, with this holy purpose, we won't be afraid anymore!" His pupils suddenly shrank, and a flash of inspiration suddenly appeared in his mind.

"This...is King Wu!!!"

At this moment, Li Ru thought of something, and he finally understood what all this was about! !

Liu Yu took action? ! !
"Hiss..."

Li Ru thought that Liu Yu might have taken action remotely, but he felt his scalp numb.

Unknowingly, they all became pawns in Liu Yu's confrontation with the imperial court.

Undoubtedly, as soon as this imperial edict came out, they would have a name for justice and fight against the state pastors and even Zhang Rang.

And Liu Lin seemed to be washed out directly.

Liu Yu was able to watch mountains and tigers fight in the north.

Even in chaos, he could lead troops south to Luoyang at any time.

An imperial edict!
Just an imperial edict! !

"If that's true, this King Wu is really terrifying!" Li Ru was trembling inwardly.

……

Just when He entered the General's Mansion, he was excited and excited after receiving the imperial edict.

The governors of the eight prefectures of Jizhou, Qingzhou, Yuzhou, Yanzhou, Yizhou, Yangzhou, Jingzhou and Xuzhou were shocked when they learned of the news of Liu Hong's death.

They were just one step away from meeting Liu Hong.

Liu Hong died?

"This... what's going on here?"

In front of the palace gate, Liu Biao, Liu Yan, Liu Dai, Liu Yao, Yuan Shu, Yuan Shao, Chen Gui, Han Fu and others looked at the imperial guards in white at the city gate and couldn't help but wonder.

"What's going on? What's going on? Didn't Your Majesty behave well when he was let out today?"

Zhang Rang panicked, grabbed Huang Zhong who was on duty at the palace, and asked.

It has to be said that the eight state pastors are about to arrive and they will see Liu Hong.

Everything will be settled.

Now that Liu Hong died suddenly, Zhang Rang found it hard to accept this final step.

Huang Zhong said solemnly:
"Zhang Changshi, His Majesty passed away an hour ago. Zhao Zhong and other regular servants have been with His Majesty!"

After listening to Huang Zhong's words, Zhang Rang felt less surprised and doubtful in his heart.

When Liu Hong passed away, Zhang Rang suddenly panicked because he was afraid that someone might cause trouble.

However, if Zhao Zhong and other regular attendants are with him, then Zhang Rang will feel relieved.

after all.

They are all in one gang.

"Fellow state shepherds, you are the pillars of the country. His Majesty has passed away, and I still need you to make up your mind. You'd better enter the palace!"

Zhang Rang said to Liu Biao, Liu Yan, Liu Dai, Liu Yao, Yuan Shu, Yuan Shao, Chen Gui, Han Fu and others.

Hearing Zhang Rang's words, Liu Biao, Liu Yan and others nodded in unison. Even if Zhang Rang didn't say anything, they would go to the palace.

Liu Hong summoned them to Luoyang. Now, just when they were about to meet, Liu Hong passed away. Coupled with the complicated situation between the DPRK and China, they must figure out what happened.

Soon, Liu Biao, Liu Yan, Liu Dai, Liu Yao, Yuan Shu, Yuan Shao, Chen Gui, Han Fu and other eight state governors followed Zhang Rang and others into the palace.

At this time, the palace was completely deserted, with the sounds of various maids and eunuchs crying.

Entering the palace hall, Liu Xie, Liu Zhuan, Jian Shuo, Huang Zhong and others, as well as a large number of concubines from the harem, as well as the civil and military officials who entered the palace in an endless stream, were all crying.

Liu Biao, Liu Yan and others actually saw the cold Liu Hong.

Judging from Liu Hong's cold demeanor, he seemed to have died not long ago, and the time matched what Huang Zhong said.

Moreover, Liu Hong's death was not caused by trauma. After asking the imperial doctor, he came to the conclusion that Liu Hong eventually died of serious illness.

This made Liu Biao, Liu Yan and others feel a little relieved.

only.

Liu Biao, Liu Yan, Liu Dai, Chen Gui and others were confused again.

Since Liu Hong had not died before, why did he not see all the civil and military officials?

He Jin also mobilized Xiliang's army to clear the emperor's side.

What is the situation?
In the mourning hall, the sound of crying and crying resounded loudly.

The eight state shepherds, whether they had tears or not, were still crying and shouting as if they were possessed by opera spirits.

a long time.

Zhang Rang suddenly stood up, cupped his hands in front of the Eight Prefectural Priests, and said solemnly:

"His Majesty passed away, which makes me feel very sad. However, the current political situation is in turmoil, and the country cannot be without a king for a day. It just so happens that the eight state ministers are here today to decide the Han Dynasty's heir apparent!"

Zhang Rang's words made the crying Bazhou Prefect immediately stop crying, and then all looked at Zhang Rang, the eunuch who they all hated, with uncertain eyes.

"Zhang Rang, what is going on? Your Majesty passed away suddenly, and now you are talking about establishing a heir apparent? Can't we all listen to you?"

Yuan Shuji's disdainful voice sounded first.

Yuan Shu had long been unhappy with Zhang Rang, but since he had never seen Liu Hong before, he had been suppressing him. Now that Liu Hong is dead, Yuan Shu, as a Yuzhou shepherd, is not afraid of Zhang Rang at all.

"Yes, Zhang Rang, becoming the crown prince is a big deal, so we can't listen to you, right?"

Liu Biao also straightened his face and said rudely to Zhang Rang.Zhang Rang was not angry when Liu Biao and Yuan Shu were yelling at him, but he hurriedly said:
"The Yuzhou Mu and Jingzhou Mu misunderstood. It is not the prince's turn to talk too much. However, His Majesty summoned the eight prefects today to entrust them with the important task of establishing a prince, so he left the imperial edict early."

As he spoke, Zhang Rang burst into tears and said, "It's a pity that your Majesty didn't wait until the state pastors arrived!"

After Zhang Rang's words fell, Liu Biao, Liu Yan, Yuan Shu and other state pastors immediately became commotion.

Liu Hong left an imperial edict to pass the throne?
"Since there is His Majesty's decree, we will obey it!" Liu Yan took the lead and said solemnly.

The rest also nodded.

Seeing how cooperative the state pastors were, Zhang Rang felt happy and waved to the eunuchs beside him.

The eunuch on the side immediately came forward holding an imperial edict in his hand.

at this time.

Inside the mourning hall.

All the civil and military officials, the eight state pastors, Huang Zhong, Jian Shuo and others looked at the imperial edict nervously.

Is this imperial edict determining the future heir apparent of the Han Dynasty, or even the emperor?

Zhang Rang opened the imperial edict and immediately read it out, his voice resounding throughout the hall.

The meaning of the imperial edict is very clear, that is, the eldest prince is frivolous and cannot be the crown prince, and the third prince is very young, so he cannot be the crown prince.

Zhang Rang glanced at the shocked civil and military officials and continued loudly:

"The second prince is naturally intelligent and of a reasonable age. He has been established as the crown prince of the Han Dynasty. He is assisted by Chang Rang and Zhao Zhong, Jingzhou Mu Liu Biao, Yizhou Mu Liu Yan, Yanzhou Mu Liu Dai, and Yangzhou Mu Liu Yao. Kudos to this!"

"What? You actually appointed the second prince as the crown prince of the auxiliary kingdom, how is this possible!?" As Zhang Rang finished reading the imperial edict, everyone in the mourning hall was in an uproar, and they were all in disbelief.

The prefects of Yuan Shu, Yuan Shao, Chen Gui and Han Fu frowned immediately.

On the other hand, Liu Biao, Liu Yan, Liu Dai, and Liu Yao, the four Zhou Mu with the surname Liu, their eyes lit up. They were actually arranged by Liu Hong to become Liu Xie's auxiliary ministers.

This is different.

In fact, who should be the prince of the auxiliary country? It is the eldest prince, the second prince, or the third prince.

They state pastors don't care.

What they care about is whether it is good or bad for them.

Undoubtedly, Liu Xie is the crown prince of the auxiliary state, and they are the auxiliary ministers.

Liu Biao, Liu Yan, Liu Dai, and Liu Yao, the four prefecture pastors surnamed Liu, instantly became happy.

Assistant Minister, this amount is heavy.

Nowadays, there is no chaos in the world, and this still has a huge attraction for Liu Biao and Liu Biao, even though they are already state pastors and frontier officials.

"This...why did your majesty appoint the second prince as the crown prince of the auxiliary kingdom? The third prince is clearly your majesty's favorite prince, and he is even smarter, so why didn't he make the third prince the crown prince? Zhang Rang, have you tampered with the imperial edict?"

Among the hundreds of officials, Zhou Yi from Luoyang was in disbelief and suddenly burst into doubt, questioning Zhang Rang.

"Yes, how is this possible? It's not the second prince's turn!"

"Is there something fishy about this?"

A series of surprised sounds came from the mouths of the civil and military officials, but Zhang Rang immediately stepped on its tail like a cat and said:
"Luoyang Order, you must provide evidence when you speak. The imperial edict is here for everyone to check!"

Zhang Rang held the imperial edict with an attitude of not fearing anyone's inspection, which surprised all the civil and military officials who originally thought Zhang Rang had done something.

Is there really no problem with Zhang Rang's imperial edict?
However, despite his inner shock and suspicion, a minister who was good at identifying handwriting immediately stepped forward to inspect it in person.

"This... is His Majesty's handwriting, and it also has the imperial seal!" Cai Yong checked it and said with a frown.

"What? This is really His Majesty's decree!!"

Hearing Cai Yong's words, all the officials around him were in an uproar.

As a contemporary master, Cai Yong cannot be mistaken.

If Wang Yun and Zhou Yi didn't want to admit it, they would check it themselves. However, the degree of realism made them have no choice but to believe it.

"The second prince is the crown prince, and Zhang Rang and Zhao Zhong are the auxiliary ministers. Alas..."

All the civil and military ministers came to their senses, but they had to sigh. It was obvious that the Holy Emperor had already accepted this matter.

At this time, a tall and heroic young man entered the hall, cupped his hands to Huang Zhong and said:
"Father, it's not good! The general led the army to approach the palace again!"

When the tall and heroic young man finished speaking, the expressions of everyone around him immediately turned ugly.

"It's really nonsense. This general led the Xiliang army into Luoyang and made the cocks and dogs bark in Luoyang. He pretended to be a general. Now His Majesty has just passed away and his body is still cold. He is still leading troops to attack the palace. Is he really going to rebel?"

Wang Yun looked gloomy and said coldly, but he was dissatisfied with He Zhang's behavior.

Not only Wang Yun was dissatisfied with He Jin.

At this time, Liu Biao, Liu Yan, Liu Dai, and Liu Yao, the four prefects with the surname Liu, took on the role of the second prince Liu Xie's assistant minister, and they also snorted coldly.

"This general has indeed gone too far. He led his troops into Luoyang, and also wanted to prevent us from entering the pass. Now that your Majesty's body is still cold, he wants to attack the palace. I, Liu Yan of Yizhou, will not agree!" Liu Yan snorted coldly.

After Liu Yan finished speaking, Liu Biao also nodded and said:
"Although the general has a high and powerful position, now that the Holy Purpose is in his hands, the general cannot come arbitrarily, otherwise none of our eight state pastors will agree!"

"Everyone, we will move to the palace gate and repel the general!"

Liu Biao and Liu Yan, two clan members of the Han clan named Liu, spoke, and all the civil and military officials could only nod.

indeed.

Following the imperial edict appointing four Zhou Mu surnamed Liu as auxiliary ministers, Liu Biao and Liu Yan immediately hardened their backs.

Yuan Shu, on the other hand, curled his lips and looked at the four Zhou Mu with the surname Liu with envy. He secretly complained in his heart. It was because the auxiliary minister made the four people happy.

Immediately.

Everyone came to the palace wall all the way. Liu Biao, Liu Yan, Zhang Rang and others looked down. Sure enough, He Jin and Dong Zhuo led a large number of soldiers and horses to the palace wall.

Seeing this scene, all the civil and military officials and even the four major Zhou Mu surnamed Liu frowned.

"General, what are you going to do? Are you going to support your troops and cause chaos?"

Liu Yan stood up and said loudly to He Jin below the city.

He Jin was riding on his horse, looking up at the exposed heads of the officials on the city wall, glanced at Liu Yan, and said loudly:
"It turns out to be Yizhou Mu. How can we talk about Yizhou Mu supporting his troops and causing chaos? This general is here to station in the palace and take over the palace. Huang Weiwei, this general has the holy intention. Please open the palace gate quickly!" "

He Jin's loud voice resounded, making all the civil and military officials on the palace wall and the eight state pastors frown, and then they all became more and more dissatisfied with He Jin.

Huang Zhong stood up and said loudly: "General, you should retreat quickly. Huang Zhong did not receive your Majesty's imperial decree to let the general take over the palace!"

Huang Zhong's words made all the civil and military officials around him nod.

They still admire Huang Zhong's uprightness very much.

He Jin who was under the city did not hesitate to hear Huang Zhong's words. He proudly raised the imperial edict in his hand and said loudly:
"Huang Weiwei, ministers, Your Majesty has entrusted me to appoint the third prince as the auxiliary prince. This is the royal decree. Please open the city gate quickly!"

He Jin held the imperial edict high, fearing that no one on the city wall would be able to see it.

However, He Jin's words reached the ears of everyone on the city wall, but everyone looked at each other in shock.

What did they hear?
In He Jin's hands, is His Majesty's decree to appoint the third prince as the crown prince of the auxiliary country?

"This..." Huang Zhong was startled and looked at the imperial edict in He Jin's hand.

The eight state pastors also looked at the imperial edict in He Jin's hand with wide eyes!

What did they hear?
In He Jin's hands, is His Majesty's decree to appoint the third prince as the crown prince of the auxiliary country?

"Impossible, impossible, this is absolutely impossible. How could His Majesty appoint the third prince as the auxiliary prince? He Jin, the imperial edict in your hand is a forgery. It must be a false edict!" Zhang Rang, who was on the city wall, couldn't bear it. He became angry and said loudly and shrillly to He Jin. (End of chapter)
