Three Kingdoms: I will act as a substitute for the Hunjun

Chapter 13 Jian Shuo wants to establish his authority

In the Jiade Hall, Jian Shuo knelt down in front of the couch with a plop, tears streaming down his face, and he kowtowed and cried, saying: "My order has expired soon. I can no longer serve His Majesty. I have betrayed the divine grace. I am so sad!"

Cough cough cough...

Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty lay on his side on the couch, his face was sallow, and after taking a deep breath, he asked in surprise: "Why did Aiqing say this? Have you suffered any grievances?"

"It was Zhang Rang and Zhao Zhong who wanted to ruin His Majesty's plan. They encouraged the concubines and the Queen to go to Changle Palace and offered aphrodisiacs to the substitute. They had no good intentions." Jian Shuo cried, "They even remonstrated and said that they were weak ministers. He held His Majesty hostage, brought trouble to the imperial court, and encouraged the substitute to kill the minister. I ask Your Majesty to save the minister's life out of consideration for the minister's diligent service!"

"Zhang Rang, Zhao Zhong? You are all my ministers, and you are connected with each other. You should support each other and help me stabilize the situation. Why do you have dissatisfaction with each other?" Ling Emperor said in confusion.

"His Majesty doesn't know who these two are, and they are used to fanning the flames." Jian Shuo continued to add information, "They had already become jealous when they saw that His Majesty had handed over the military power to the ministers, and they had not seen His Majesty for a long time some time ago, so they Rumors are being spread everywhere that the minister is holding His Majesty hostage, and...and...the minister doesn't know whether to tell the truth or not!"

"But it doesn't matter, and what?" Emperor Ling asked.

"Furthermore, they tell everyone that His Majesty is seriously ill. I heard that they secretly colluded with the general and wanted to make Mr. Bian the crown prince." Jian Shuo added another piece of news, "They may not do anything treacherous or evil next. Regarding the matter, please make a decision as soon as possible!"

"What a coward!" Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty lowered his face, "The establishment of a crown prince is related to the foundation of the country. They actually secretly colluded with my relatives behind my back to depose the crown prince. It is simply lawless and they are guilty of conspiracy!"

Jian Shuo's eyes lit up, he stepped forward and said, "Would you like me to send the Imperial Guards from the West Garden into the palace to eradicate the rebellious party in one fell swoop?"

Emperor Ling pondered for a long time, with a look of intolerance on his face, and sighed: "Qing, Zhang Rang, and Zhao Zhong are all my right-hand men and have served me for decades. How can I bear to cut off my own arm? After thinking about it carefully, I feel that Zhang and Zhao may not be sharing my worries, but they are not going in the right direction after not seeing me for a long time."

Jian Shuo was shocked. He was reluctant to kill him?

However, after thinking about it, I figured out that His Majesty's favor for the ten permanent attendants, including himself, has exceeded the scope of normal people's thinking. In the past few years, Feng Xu colluded with the Yellow Turban Army in an attempt to rebel. This is a heinous crime against Your Majesty. There was no investigation, let alone Zhang Rang and Zhao Zhong's small actions.

"But if this continues, there will be trouble." Jian Shuo said unwillingly, "Besides, they are doing things around the substitute Liu Ming all day long, and something will go wrong sooner or later. Your Majesty cannot take it lightly. Moreover, if the two thieves Zhang and Zhao deliberately interact with Wei The minister is an enemy and gets in the way of everything, which also affects His Majesty's ability to issue orders secretly."

"How has that substitute been coping these days?" Emperor Ling frowned.

"How else can he deal with it? He's just doing it perfunctorily, hoping that His Majesty and the ministers can make a decision." Jian Shuo sighed, "But if Zhang and Zhao are always so unscrupulous, the secret of the substitute will be exposed sooner or later.

"Wei Chen has asked the substitute to pass on the message. No one is allowed to go to Changle Palace without summons. This may delay it for a while, but it is not a long-term solution. Without thunderous means, these people cannot be deterred at all. They I wish I could get rid of my ministers quickly. I work for His Majesty and cannot always be restrained by them. I need to establish my authority!"

Hearing that the substitute might reveal his secret, Emperor Ling thought for a while and said, "Jian Qing did a good job. Do you know how they connected with General He Jin?"

This matter was originally made up by Jian Shuo, and of course he did not know the details of the connection. However, His Majesty asked a question and had to answer it. He rolled his eyes and said: "Wei Chen is not sure about the specific details, but Guo, the Chief Minister of the Central Committee, Sheng and the general are from the same hometown, and they often communicate with each other, so Zhang and Zhao must have contacted each other through Guo Sheng."

"Then let Guo Sheng establish his power. That's enough." Emperor Ling said calmly, "I'm exhausted. You can arrange the specific matters."

Although he is favored by his ten constant attendants, he is also divided into distant relatives and distant relatives. When conflicts arise internally, there will inevitably be choices. Now he has chosen to abandon Guo Sheng for the sake of Jian Shuo and his prestige.

Jian Shuo hesitated for a moment, but finally did not say anything about the Queen's sleeping in Changle Palace last night. After bowing, he quietly left.    …

In Changle Palace, Liu Ming tasted the delicacies and admired the graceful dancing of the dancers, feeling very happy.

I have to say that this royal life is really too luxurious. It is just a breakfast, but it is also so fancy, and there are also special palace maids playing music and accompanying dancers.

Today is already his third day in the palace. Not only did he quickly stabilize his position, but he also successfully provoked a dispute between the He family and Jian Shuo, and also intensified the internal conflicts among the ten permanent servants.

And the capital he invested was just to lose his virginity.

There was already an undercurrent surging in the harem, and he moved forward in the storm, borrowing a saying from his previous life: The bigger the storm, the more expensive the fish.

What he has to do is to find his own way in this storm, a way to survive, and a way to change history.

He needs to use his status as emperor to continuously add fuel to the flames and gain benefits from the game between the various forces.

When the eunuchs, relatives, and nobles all shuffle the cards, the world will still be named Liu, and the country will still be Han, but the person sitting on the throne will probably no longer have the posthumous title of "Ling".

Liu Ming has already thought clearly that he cannot always be a substitute, nor can he place his hope of survival on the mercy of Emperor Ling and Jian Shuo. He must take the initiative by himself, and even replace the real with the fake.

Just after breakfast, Jian Shuo came back.

"As you expected, Your Majesty is unwilling to touch Zhang Rang and Zhao Zhong." Jian Shuo said with a gloomy face, "But Your Majesty also allows me to use others to establish my authority."

"It's better to do it sooner rather than later, and changes will happen later." Liu Ming said bewilderedly, "We should use thunderous means to eliminate dissidents. Who is the unlucky guy who is establishing his authority?"

"You are right, sooner rather than later." Jian Shuo nodded and said, "Tomorrow will be the time to go to court every ten days. I will take you to the West Garden Forbidden Army to familiarize yourself with the situation. I will teach you how to go to court in the afternoon. If you pay attention to it, the general will show his authority in the court tomorrow."

Jian Shuo didn't say anything, and Liu Ming couldn't guess who he would use to establish his authority, but he was sure that this dead eunuch and Emperor Ling had already chosen the unlucky guy.

It's just that it's not convenient to ask now. Since he wants to establish authority in the court, he must cooperate with him. He will know the specific plan soon, and there is no rush at this moment.

Liu Ming suddenly remembered something and asked: "Who is in charge of the forbidden troops in the palace, including the warriors in the court?"

"The Northern Army has five battalions of Yulin on the left and right, all under the control of General He Jin, responsible for guarding the capital." Jian Shuo said, "But Butcher He can only control the garrison of the capital outside the palace, and the forbidden troops inside the palace, including Xiyuan The imperial army is all under the control of this general."

"The general is mighty." Liu Ming sent a rainbow fart.
