I, Liu Bian, Sanxing Han Dynasty

Chapter 132 Disposal of He Jin

The September night could already make people feel the chill, but He Jin's forehead still couldn't stop sweating.

Wang Mang is an absolutely sensitive topic.

He Jin was in a state of confusion.

He instinctively wanted to defend himself: "Your Highness, I...I never thought of getting involved in the military power of these two places!"

"So the general just doesn't like eunuchs, and it's not about military power?"

He Jin nodded quickly: "That's right! That's right! Wang Mang is a traitor who makes people sworn in as sworn enemies. It's too late for me to despise him!"

"Oh, it seems that I mistakenly blamed the general. The general did not want to be Wang Mang, but just wanted to be Dou Wu." Liu Bian looked regretful, but he couldn't see clearly under the firelight.

"Yes! Your Highness Mingjian, I just wanted to be Dou Wu, and I never wanted to be Wang Mang! Really..."

Liu Bian didn't expect He Jin to admit it so straightforwardly. It seemed that he was indeed frightened by the word "Wang Mang".

He stopped making further foreshadowing and said bluntly: "General, please tell me, who is Dou Wu?"

Although Dou Wu had a high reputation among scholars, he was still a criminal at the official level. Even if he was released from the party, Dou Wu's case was never overturned.

He Jin hesitated and couldn't say anything.

He realized he had said the wrong thing.

"If the general doesn't tell you, I'll tell you!"

The fourteen-year-old prince was no longer much shorter than He Jin. He took a step forward, and He Jin, who had a strong physique, subconsciously took a small step back.

"Dou Wu is a relative, a well-known virtuous person in the world, a leader recognized by the scholars, and carries the expectations of the scholar-officials for the government...Do you feel that these words are familiar to the general?"

"If the world is uneasy, it must be the fault of the eunuchs. If the eunuchs are removed and the world is still unstable, it must be the fault of the relatives... Oh, no, the general is to be the leader of the scholars. How can the scholar-bureaucrats attribute the fault to themselves? ? Then whose turn is it? Someone has made a mistake after all. Did the general hear this when he sat down with the virtuous people in the mansion to discuss matters? "

"What does the general think of this process? Does he have an answer?"

He Jin was sweating profusely and continued to defend: "Your Highness, I... I just want to get rid of the eunuch... I have no other ideas."

"It turns out that the general doesn't know that in my father's heart, Dou Wu is just Wang Mang who has not yet completed his treason... In my heart, I think so too."

He Jin stepped forward and wanted to hold Liu Bian's hand, but Liu Bian did not avoid it.

Zhao Yun on the side moved slightly, and quietly moved closer to He Jin.

He Jin continued to defend himself: "I am His Highness's uncle, how could I do something to harm His Highness!"

"My uncle keeps saying that he is for my own good. I think he must know my attitude towards eunuchs!" Liu Bian's tone gradually became colder. "I will definitely not agree to get rid of the eunuchs. What are you going to do? Ask your mother for help? But? The queen mother trusts Zhao Zhong and the others. So, what are you going to do? Lead your troops to threaten?"

"How dare I use force? If His Highness is not willing, I will only dare to submit a few more memorials, but I will never dare to threaten you with troops!"

Liu Bian was angry and laughed. Even now, He Jin still holds the deep-rooted idea of ​​getting rid of the eunuchs and is unwilling to change.

He asked: "Uncle, I really don't understand. A relative and a scholar leader cannot have both. My uncle wants to be Dou Wu. What will happen to Dou Wu? My uncle should know better than me! Until now, my uncle is still Don’t you know what’s wrong?”

He Jin's eyes widened, as if hearing this statement for the first time.

Liu Bian felt He Jin holding his hand tighter.

It turned out that these were words that He Jin could understand.

"It's me meeting uncle here tonight instead of Jian Shuo leading the army. Uncle, do you know why?" Liu Bian in turn took He Jin's hand, "It's because of the blood between us. The reason for family affection is that my mother and I don’t want to see my uncle go to the end.” If He Jin was frightened at first, now he is really panicked.

He truly realized that the disaster of genocide was just around the corner.

"Your Highness, I no longer want to purge the eunuchs, and I no longer want to be a leader of scholars." He Jin's words became more urgent.

"Uncle, you know that in the past few months when you were recording the minister's affairs, what you did was not only seen by me, but also by my father." As he said that, Liu Bian felt He Jin's hand shake again, and his hand shook. The palms of my hands were covered in sweat.

He didn't dislike it and still held it.

"Your Highness, you have to believe me. I definitely have no evil intentions."

"Of course I want to believe uncle, but not everyone thinks so... So uncle, are you willing to prove it?"

He Jin continued to nod.

"Those who want my uncle to get rid of the eunuchs put my uncle in front of them in everything. If something happens, it will be my uncle's responsibility. Doesn't my uncle have any doubts? What's really sad is that something happens to my uncle. Cousin Xian and the others are still those people hiding behind the general?"

He Jin immediately said: "Yuan Shao taught me everything except eunuchs... Oh, yes, and Zheng Tai, they taught me... I will never have contact with them again..."

Liu Bian shook his head: "Not enough."

"After I return, I will close the door tightly and not accept outsiders... Your Highness, is this okay?"

Liu Bian continued to shake his head: "It's not enough."

"Your Highness..." He Jin was a little confused. If he retreated, his general would be gone.

His general's mansion, his ambitions... The next step is to return to his hometown in Nanyang!

At this time, a gust of cold wind suddenly hit him. He Jin, who was sweating all over, shivered, and a chill that penetrated his heart and spleen hit him from the outside in.

The coldness of the ice and snow made him decide: "Bian'er, uncle will submit a letter of resignation tomorrow morning."

"After uncle leaves, Bian'er should contact Shuda more often when something happens. Shuda's personality is not as rough as mine and he can help a lot..."

After saying that, He Jin was about to pull away his hand and leave.

But Liu Bian did not let go.

Instead, he said: "I heard that in order to avoid gossip, my uncle has not allowed cousin Xian to become an official. Let cousin Xian go to the East Palace first tomorrow!"

He Jin immediately stopped moving.

Liu Bian finally showed a smile: "Tomorrow, I will worship my uncle as a former general. Although he is not as noble as the general, he is still worthy of my uncle."

He Jin twitched the corner of his mouth, and suddenly felt a little relieved under the ups and downs.

But he wanted to laugh but couldn't. He could only make a sad face. That is, at night, he couldn't see his expression clearly.

"In the next period of time, if I feel that I have nothing to do, I might as well calm down and think about it, what is my ambition? Putting aside the interference of others, what kind of person does I want to be..."

"Like me, I just hope that the people of the Han family don't have to worry about food and clothing every day. If that day comes, it will not be in vain for me to come here..."
