Li Jue died in the hands of his own people. When Duan Juan arrived with his army, the remnants of the Xiliang army surrendered under the leadership of Liang Xing and Zhang Heng. Duan Jue reported the situation to Liu Han, who asked people to return to Chang'an first.

The news that the emperor died due to the cholera epidemic in Chang'an caused by Li Jue and Guo Si slowly spread from Sili to all parts of the Han Dynasty.

For a time, some were hesitant and confused, while others were ambitious and motivated. The entire Han Dynasty was shocked by the news and was thrown into chaos.

No wonder the King of Hejian went to Jizhou without settling the matter. It turned out that such a big thing had happened.

The whole country is saddened by the death of His Majesty, but the deceased is gone, and the living need to bear the burden and move forward.

A country cannot live without a king for a day, but if the emperor dies and has no heirs, who should be elected as the emperor?

Yang Biao and Zhao Wen visited Liu Han for three consecutive days before they were able to see him.

Liu Han: "Lieutenant Yang, Situ Zhao, and Li Jue are dead. Their heads are on the way back. I will use their heads to pay homage to Your Majesty."

Yang Biao sighed in his heart, what should come will eventually come, there is no way to avoid it. After the King of Hejian took care of Li Jue and Guo Si, it was the turn of the nobles and powerful men in the Sanfu area next.

Zhao Wen: "Your Highness, Li Jue, Guo Si, and Li Ru have committed unpardonable crimes. I suggest that their heads be hung on the Meridian Gate as a warning to others! Not only that, but the three tribes must also be annihilated as a warning to Your Majesty's spirit in heaven. ."

Liu Han: "Don't worry, I don't need you to tell me, Gu will do it. They have committed such a heinous crime, Gu will not let them off easily."

The chief culprit was killed just to prevent the Xiliang army from mutiny. After reintegration, they must be liquidated.

Liu Han: "Is there anything else? If not, just go down."

Yang Biao: "Your Highness, as the saying goes, a country cannot live without a king for a day. Your Majesty passed away, and this throne..."

Liu Han finally understood the reason why they came to look for him diligently these days. It was no wonder that Jia Xu and Guo Jia couldn't see each other these days. It turned out to be this.

The nobles were afraid of themselves and wanted to avoid liquidation by virtue of their support. There were also people under them, or most people thought the same as them. After the emperor died and the new emperor succeeded, he was in his prime, which was indeed the best. choose.

Of course, for the nobles, the best choice is still a few years old children, but between recognizing the emperor and surviving, they chose to survive.

"Haha..." Liu Hanhan laughed: "You two, how many people do you think will be able to accept the title of emperor at this time? The princes of Shandong are ready to make a move. Since the death of the emperor's brother, the Han Dynasty has fallen into pieces. Yuan Shao, Yuan Shu, Liu Biao, Will Liu Yan and the others listen to Gu?"

"For the man to become what he is today, Taiwei Yang and Situ Zhao are all responsible for your contribution!"

When the two of them heard Liu Han's words, they were so frightened that they broke into cold sweats, especially Yang Biao, who knelt down.

"You all go back. The big man left behind by the emperor was destroyed by you dirty bugs. If I want to build a new big man, I will destroy anyone who dares to stand in my way!"

Yang Biao didn't know how he got out of the palace. He didn't know whether the Shandong princes would defeat Liu Han, but he was sure that the Hongnong Yang family was doomed.

Jinyang.

There are no impervious walls in the world.

The news of the emperor's death was kept secret for more than a month. The Empress Dowager still found out, but she was not as grief-stricken as Cai Yan feared, but behaved very calmly.

"It's better to leave. If you leave, you will suffer less. The Han Dynasty is in chaos. He, the emperor, has no ability to rebuild the Han Dynasty. When you see the late emperor down below, don't blame yourself too much." Before leaving Luoyang, the Empress Dowager, So he left Liu Zhong, his confidant eunuch who had served him for twenty years, by Liu Xie's side. The purpose was to protect him, but the secret mission was to drug him!

Emperor Ling died, Dong Zhuo entered the capital, and the Empress Dowager was rescued by her youngest son, but her grandson would inevitably become a pawn in the game between princes. The world needs a capable hero, not an emperor who is good at forbearance, so Tai Tai The Empress Dowager secretly ordered Liu Zhong to tamper with the emperor's diet, and finally...

Of course, only she knew this secret, because she told Liu Zhong that what he put was not poison, but tonic...

At the end of the reminiscence, the abnormality of the Empress Dowager naturally attracted Cai Yan's attention, but Cai Yan blamed the Empress Dowager's excessive sadness, because people will not cry when they are excessively sad, but will be very calm on the contrary.

Therefore, Cai Yan chose to use a happy event to cheer up the Empress Dowager.

Cai Yan: "Mother, when Your Highness comes back this time, it's time to finalize the marriage between Ying'er and Rui'er."

The Empress Dowager thought about it and said, "I'll leave this matter to you. I'm old, so I can entertain my grandchildren at home. Zhang He is a good young man. He has been following Zhongqing (Liu Han) since Hejian. ), if it weren't for the late emperor, Zhang He would have gotten married long ago, and I can rest assured that Ying'er will be left to him."

(After the New Year, it was 192, the third year of keeping filial piety, and Liu Ying was Liu Hong’s ten thousand year princess.)

Cai Yan: "That's what the Queen Mother said."

The Empress Dowager: "It's just that Guo Fengxiao... is a bit dissolute, so leave Rui'er to him..."

(Dong Rui, his father Dong Cheng, was the nephew of the Empress Dowager Dong, the mother of Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty. Dong Rui was the former noble Dong of Liu Xie.)

"Haha..." Cai Yan said with a smile: "Don't worry, mother, this Guo Fengxiao was just a little dissolute in his early years and followed Mr. Opera's lead. You can see that Mr. Opera took good care of his wife after he married her."

The Empress Dowager nodded: "That's true. He has ambition, talent, literary skills, and a good temper."

Cai Yan: "Besides, if Ruorui'er is bullied, why don't you have your support, Queen Mother?"

The Empress Dowager: "Zhao Ji, where is my useless nephew now?"

Cai Yan: "Originally, he was in Youzhou to appease the people's livelihood, and later planned to be transferred to Jizhou to help the opera masters. Recently, His Highness recaptured Sili, and brother Dong Cheng will be transferred to Sili to serve as the prefect of Hanoi."

The Empress Dowager: "Huh! Tell Zhong Qing that this is the end of my useless nephew. Don't look at it for my sake. The Dong family is already prosperous enough."

Cai Yan: "Mother, I don't want to talk about my daughter-in-law. Let the men make their own decisions outside. I just want my daughter-in-law to take care of the palace."

Looking at Cai Yan, the Empress Dowager became more and more fond of her original decision. To marry her daughter-in-law, she had to marry such a well-educated, capable, and knowledgeable girl. He...

"Pooh!"

The Empress Dowager despised herself in her heart. What did she want to do with that miserable dead man?

The Queen Mother: "I heard that Diao Chan and Zhang Ning are also together?"

Cai Yan: "Yes, it's only been more than a month. I want to wait for His Highness to come back and give them a surprise."

The Empress Dowager: "In that case, they can just relax and raise the baby. Don't wander around, especially Zhang Ning. This girl always likes to run around. You have to pay more attention. You are pregnant and you don't pay attention."

Cai Yan smiled and said: "Don't worry, Queen Mother, I will definitely help you keep an eye on it."

At this time, Xiao Liu Qi woke up and couldn't find Cai Yan and the Empress Dowager, whining, "Ouch! My little sweet grandson! Grandma is here, grandma is here!" (End of Chapter)
