Jian Shuo thought for a while, then suddenly laughed and said, "Actually, I think the same thing as you, general."

"General, really want to lead the troops to fight?" Liu Ming asked. He knew that Jian Shuo did know some military skills, but he didn't look like a master who could endure the hardships of the battlefield.

"My general also means to stay here in Luoyang City and not go anywhere. Hahahaha..." Jian Shuo laughed after he finished speaking.

Liu Ming also laughed.

"It's interesting. Hahahaha..." Jian Shuo walked out of Changle Palace with a smile, and the substitute's laughter could be heard behind him.

Liu Ming looked at Jian Shuo leaving and his expression returned to normal.

Today was a mutual test between the two. For the first time, Liu Ming put himself on the same level as Jian Shuo.

From now on, everything is easy to discuss, but don't try to pressure me. This must be very unpleasant for Jian Shuo, but now, there is no choice.

There was no way out for him.

Without this substitute, he could not live alone, and obviously, his attempt to usurp the throne was even less likely to succeed. He could only give in and let this substitute have more autonomy.

In fact, this is also a double-edged sword. After this, Jian Shuo's trust in him will probably be reduced a lot, and the gap between them will have arisen, and they will be on guard against each other.

If there was no other way, I'm afraid Jian Shuo would be eager to kill this hateful substitute now. No one can stand the fact that a doll who is at the mercy of others is talking about the division of power on an equal footing with him.

For Liu Ming, it is not only the beginning of a new stage, but also the birth of a new crisis.

The two finally looked at each other and smiled. It was obvious that each had seen through the other's plan, and neither wanted to leave this center of power.

Jian Shuo left Changle Palace, took Wang Yue who was waiting at the palace gate, and prepared to leave the palace and return to his mansion.

Now he doesn't have to report to Emperor Ling every day. He has a substitute to take care of all the minor matters in the palace, so he doesn't need to worry about it. He is enjoying the legacy left by Zhao Zhong and is at his most carefree.

It feels like life has reached its peak.

Not far away, he saw a eunuch approaching in a hurry.

"Why are you so panicked?" Jian Shuo shouted.

"The good general learned that Queen He hanged herself," the eunuch said.

"Hang yourself? Haha..." Jian Shuo sneered, "A vicious, heartless, and stupid woman deserves to die, please report to His Majesty quickly."

The eunuch agreed and left in a hurry.

Jian Shuo returned to his mansion and was not satisfied with the food. He drank tea here and there. The more he thought about it, the more he felt that today's affairs in the court were not that simple. Yuan Wei was old and logically he was not confused. Why did he suddenly behave like this? Play, and even lied to myself in advance that it was a trivial matter.

"Come here!" Jian Shuo shouted.

"What are your orders, general?" The steward immediately came in and bowed.

"Arrange someone to go to Yuan Mansion to find out whether Yuan Wei saw anyone or where he went yesterday." Jian Shuo ordered.

"As ordered!" the butler agreed, turned and left.

An hour later, the housekeeper returned and said, "General Qi, Situ Yuan Wei entered the palace yesterday."

"Yuan Wei has entered the palace?" Jian Shuo sneered, "No wonder they cooperate so well. It was really discussed in advance. Oh, you really want to put this general aside."

Jian Shuo gritted his teeth, feeling secretly angry in his heart.

You are just a substitute, how dare you bypass me and act so arrogantly?

Is this general not tolerant enough for you? Not good enough for you?
  Without me, how could you be so prosperous and wealthy today? I'm afraid he's just a street vendor.

Today you want to bypass this general, but tomorrow you want to kick him away? The day after tomorrow, do you still want to push your limits and truly achieve great status? No wonder General Ben is always trying to get rid of His Majesty. It seems that this substitute is quite ambitious.

I don't want you to suffer a little bit, you just don't remember me, General.

"Go and bring Xia Mou, Bao Hong, Zhao Rong, and Feng Fang to discuss matters." Jian Shuo ordered, and the attendant immediately responded and left.

Jian Shuo thought that these four people were his close confidants in the army, and they were all capable subordinates of his Xiyuan Army.

The Xiyuan Army now has Yuan Shao stationed in Hongnong, Chunyu Qiong has been killed, and his replacement Zhang Liao is still stationed behind Changle Palace. As for Cao Cao, Jian Shuo has no hope in him at all, and he is not a stranger at all.

Soon, four people arrived.

After greetings, everyone took their seats, and Wang Yue was also present.

"I invite you all to come here today to discuss a major matter." Jian Shuo said directly, "Your Majesty feels that the palace is depressed and wants to leave the capital to lead the expedition in person, so that I can stay in Luoyang, but you also know that The minister has always been resentful towards this general and the Xiyuan Army. If His Majesty leaves the capital, will the courtiers take the opportunity to take action against this general?"

Liu Ming had just told him that given the predicament Jian Shuo was facing now, if the emperor left the capital, the courtiers would definitely take the opportunity to take action against him. Although Jian Shuo did not fully agree, he was still very worried.

This kind of thing may not really happen. Not long ago, he just left the capital to hunt, and He Jin took the opportunity to rebel.

Now Dong Zhuo is still in Hongnong rushing to Luoyang under the banner of Qingjun. He wants to invite his confidants to discuss whether he can control the situation if the emperor leaves Beijing.

If you have no worries in the capital, then arrange for this substitute to suffer some hardships outside, preferably someone who is frightened, so that he will know how good this general is and will be obedient and obedient.

"Actually, whether others dare to take action depends on how much power the general holds." Xia Mou was the first to speak, "Especially military power. If the general's power is enough to intimidate the ministers, then no matter whether His Majesty is in Beijing or not, no one else will If you dare to fly a moth into a flame, you will seek your own death.”

Jian Shuo touched his chin, thought for a while, and smiled, "It makes sense, but the key lies in the word power!"

"Would it be too imprudent for Your Majesty to lead the expedition yourself?" Feng Fang frowned and said, "Now that the world is in chaos, Your Majesty is in danger. If something happens, the consequences will be disastrous."

"There is nothing we ministers can do about this." Jian Shuo chuckled, "You also know His Majesty's temperament. He can't sit still. He will go out if he wants to. If he doesn't find it fun, he will naturally come back."

Everyone was helpless, as the emperor was accustomed to do as he pleased, unless he felt tired of playing or had hit a wall.

With Jian Shuo's current power, it is not easy to control the military. These few people in front of him control the entire Luoyang City, including the guards of the palace. For him, all the courtiers are under his control. Who dares to do anything against him? What kind of conspiracy? Just move your fingers and you can wipe out the other party.

After thinking about this, Jian Shuo became happy, thinking that he was almost fooled by the substitute. After you leave the capital, the courtiers will take action against me, and I will be in danger. Bah!
  This general holds the capital's troops and horses. Who dares to attack me? Seeing that he was tired of living, he would even dig up his ancestral graves.

After everyone dispersed, Jian Shuo drank while enjoying singing and dancing. He suddenly thought of one thing. He had no worries in the capital, but what if something happened to the substitute outside?
  It was such a headache. Even though he wanted to let him die, he still had to protect him. This twisted feeling made him go crazy with discomfort.

Although this substitute is becoming more and more annoying, if the beating turns into a funeral and dies outside, how can I still gain a foothold in the court?
  Jian Shuo thought for a while, waved Wang Yue to come closer, and whispered: "You have a wide network of contacts in the world. I will find a few people who look and speak close to His Majesty. This general will be of great use."

Wang Yue was stunned, not knowing what this eunuch wanted to do.

Looking for someone who looks like His Majesty? There is a lot to do here.

"What are you still doing? Go quickly!" Jian Shuo urged.

"Understood, let's do it right away." Wang Yue agreed, turned and left.

Jian Shuo is quite satisfied with his preparations. Finding a substitute will not only prevent the current substitute from dying outside, but even if the substitute is disobedient, he can also replace him with an obedient one. In this way, he can always be the substitute. Control the Chao Gang.

But after a while, Jian Shuo frowned again. This was just a helpless alternative. Besides, how could it be such a coincidence that he could find such a suitable substitute?

If he can't find another substitute and something happens to his current substitute, wouldn't he have nothing to control?

After pondering for a long time, he suddenly felt cheerful, "Isn't there another prince? If there is no substitute, why don't I have the final say to help him ascend? This prince is younger and more suitable to control. In a sense, it is better to control the younger ones. It is easier to control a little emperor than to control an adult substitute!"

This general is so smart.
