The Power of the Three Kingdoms at the End of the Han Dynasty and the Imperial Power of the Han Dyna

Zhongping for six years.

Prince Ben held a grand wedding.

The royal family hasn't been this lively in several years.

However, unexpected events occurred, and the lively atmosphere came to an abrupt end before the emperor passed away.

On the [-]th day of April Bingchen, Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty passed away in Jiade Hall of Nangong.

The monsters and monsters hiding in the darkness all stood neatly in front of the stage for the first time.

The matter was so important that only the ten ministers knew that the emperor had passed away. Zhang Rang and others gathered in a secret room in the corner of the palace to discuss the matter.

"For the current plan, we can only keep the mourning secret and send people to Jinyang quickly to ask the King of Hejian to come back to take charge of the overall situation, otherwise everyone will die!"

Zhang Rang knew that as an emperor and a court official, as a close official of the former emperor, he must be the first batch to be liquidated, so he had no choice but to resort to this strategy in order to survive.

And
He knew that Jian Shuo had a big weapon in his hand - the imperial decree to pass the throne.

Once the King of Hejian could lead his troops to Luoyang in time and produce the emperor's imperial decree, then it would not be him who would be liquidated, but the He family.

At that time, not only will the foreign relatives be eliminated, but I and others will also be able to have a share in supporting them. Even if they retreat and lose their power in the future, they will have no worries about food and clothing.

but
What Zhang Rang didn't expect was that the person who spread the news would be caught by Yuan's spies stationed around the palace!

Not only was he arrested, but the secret messages on his body were also found.

Yuan Wei received the secret letter and immediately knew that Yuan's opportunity had come!
Excited heart, trembling hands.

"Ancestors bless you!"

If the secret message is sent to the King of Hejian, even with all the efforts of the Yuan family, it will not be able to stop a hundred thousand iron hoofs.

Many things are like this. I always think that everything is safe, but accidents will always happen. Zhang Rang wanted to keep it a secret but Jian Shuo didn't.

He was pressed for time because He Jin was very powerful and Liu Bian was the nominal prince.

He wants to quickly kill General He Jin. His biggest advantage at this time is the asymmetry of information.

When the emperor passed away, it was impossible for Zhang Rang to be the only one present at such a big event. Jian Shuo was also present.

In the past, he was suppressed by Zhang Rang because he did not have military power. Now among all the regular servants, who doesn't support him?

In Jian Shuo's eyes, Zhang Rang's idea was correct, but there were too many uncertainties. It would take at least 20 days from receiving the news to bringing someone over.

20 days!
The emperor stinks!
Therefore, Jian Shuo did not listen to Zhang Rang's suggestion, but took the initiative to send someone to summon He into the palace to discuss the funeral arrangements.

Although He Jin knew that the emperor would die soon, he did not expect that the emperor would die so soon!
"It must be in the next day or two."

At first I was stunned, and then I wanted to laugh, but when I thought that laughing was inappropriate at this time, I held it back and squeezed two tears out of the corners of my eyes.

For such a big event, He Jin couldn't wait for a moment, so he quickly drove there after hearing the announcement.

The script reversal in the late Han Dynasty is so magical, there will always be accidents. Here Jian Shuo is ready to kill He Jin and deal with his relatives, and then he is ordered to ask the prince to ascend to the throne, but there is a traitor around him!

The chance to monopolize the support is gone!

Logically speaking, when people are in a hurry, they are often unprepared.

Jian Shuo's Sima Pan Yin was an old friend of He Jin, so he had a close personal relationship with He Jin. Jian Shuo ignored this key factor and his plan to kill He Jin was leaked.

This incident tells us that at the critical moment, we must focus on the key relationships and distinguish who is the enemy and who is the friend early, otherwise there will be an accident when taking action.

Late at night, General He Jin (also known as Suigao) came to the palace gate on horseback with several followers. He jumped off his horse and was about to enter the palace gate, but was stopped by two guards.

Guard A: "General! General! This way please!" Guard A was obviously Pan Yin's man. He pulled He Jin aside and told him the situation.

Guard A: "The general is not allowed to enter the palace."

He Jin: "Your Majesty has issued an edict, how can you not go?"

Guard A: "Your Majesty has arrived."

He Jin was very surprised. Jian Shuo didn't tell him!

"what?!"

He Jin also reacted, "When something goes wrong, there must be a monster, and there must be a ghost in Jian Shuo."

Guard A: "Secretary of the Ten Constant Guards did not announce his mourning, but wanted to save the life of the general."

He Jin: "Huh! How brave! Let's go!"

He Jin, who escaped the disaster, led his guards to leave the palace gate, turned around and took a shortcut back to the military camp under his control, claiming that I was sick, and then prepared for war.

After the death of the emperor, the various forces in Luoyang will no longer be hidden, and the secret struggle will turn into an open struggle. Whoever has military power will have a louder voice!

In the palace, everyone except Jian Shuo was present for this secret meeting.

After all, Jian Shuo was unkind first, so don't blame them for being unjust later.

He Jin has already arrived at the gate of the palace. If someone hadn't leaked the secret, Jian Shuo's big deal would have been accomplished.

Zhang Rang: "The late emperor loved Jian Shuo, and Jian Shuo had a close relationship with Empress Dowager Dong. Only by placing this matter on Jian Shuo's head can we survive."

Eunuchs: "Yes! Yes! Yes! Just bring Jian Shuo out..."

Zhang Rang: "Secondly, the palace is still unclean. If we want to find the person who leaked the secret, he is the poisonous snake hiding among us."

Now, Zhang Rang is very doubtful whether his secret message has been sent out. If he is like Jian Shuo, what should he do?
Zhang Rang: "Third, we rush to Queen He and beg her. Only she can save us now."

"Why?"

Everyone is puzzled.

Zhang Rang: "The King of Hejian is a distant water after all, and water far away cannot quench our thirst. We must seek temporary shelter before the King of Hejian leads his army."

"exactly!"

At the General's Mansion, civil and military officials were being convened for a discussion. Among those attending the discussion were Dianjun Colonel Cao Cao, Sili Colonel Yuan Shao, Chief Secretary of the General's Mansion Chen Lin, and others.

He Jin: "These eunuchs, I will kill them all."

He Jin narrowly escaped death, and now he hates the eunuchs with all his heart.

Yuan Shao wanted He Jin to fight with the eunuchs. It would be better for both sides to suffer losses, so that Yuan's family would gain more benefits.

Cao Cao was wiser. Now was definitely not the time for a bloody conflict. Standing behind the eunuch was not only the emperor, but also the King of Hejian. No matter who the new emperor was, there was no way around this consent.

The King of Hejian has always been strong, and if there is a conflict, He Jin will definitely suffer. Now that he is tied to He Jin, he can only speak to calm his emotions, hoping that he will not get involved.

"General, calm down! The power of the eunuchs started when they attacked and challenged the two emperors, and spread widely in the court. This power did not develop overnight, nor can it be eliminated overnight. If the plan is not kept secret and leaked, it will be The family will be destroyed. General, please think again."

He Jin looked at Cao Cao, thinking of Cao Cao's background, and immediately lost his temper: "You juniors, how do you know about the important affairs of the court?"

Seeing He Jin's stupidity, Cao Cao angrily stood up to argue, but Yuan Shao dissuaded him and kept silent. (End of chapter)
