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

Chapter 18 Killing the Two Thieves
  The whole hall was in an uproar for a while, and many people wondered if they had heard wrongly and looked around blankly.

Others looked happy and talked loudly.

This can be said to be an unprecedented event since Emperor Ling came to power.

The emperor has always been arrogant and doting on the ten ministers, and even killed ministers who came to remonstrate with them in order to protect them. Relying on the emperor's protection, the ministers can be said to be like a fish in water, impervious to rain or shine.

However, now the emperor actually took the initiative to mention that someone among the ten permanent servants collaborated with the enemy and treason. No one expected that such an incident would happen today.

Both the civilian and military generals in the two squads, as well as Zhang Rang and Zhao Zhong of His Majesty Dan, were all shocked beyond measure by the news.

What surprised them even more was that Jian Shuo actually admitted that some of his regular servants had collaborated with the enemy and treason.

The old foxes in the court keenly grasped one thing, that is, the ten permanent servants were no longer monolithic, and the emperor was more inclined to listen to Jian Shuo's words.

Their minds were wildly deducing the next countermeasures.

Zhang Rang and Zhao Zhong were a little nervous, because they had already preconceived the idea that Jian Shuo wanted to get rid of them in order to monopolize His Majesty's resources. Now that Jian Shuo suddenly said this, they couldn't help but panic. Let's take a look. Jian Shuo looked at Liu Ming for a moment, panic evident in his expression.

"I have found out that Guo Sheng, the permanent servant of the Central Committee, colluded with the remnants of the Yellow Turbans." Jian Shuo said loudly, "The Yellow Turban thieves have reappeared everywhere in recent years and are difficult to eradicate. It is all related to Guo Sheng's secret collusion and funding. Please give me an edict from your Majesty. Kill this thief!"

It's actually Guo Sheng?
  Everyone was stunned, and the charge was that he colluded with the Yellow Turban Thief.

A sudden thought came to He Jin's mind: This is targeting me!

Guo Sheng is his fellow villager and has given a lot of help to He Jin, He Miao and Queen He over the years. It can be said that without Guo Sheng, the He family would not have its current status.

They have long been tied into a community of interests.

Now that Jian Shuo suddenly publicly attacked Guo Sheng, He Jin's first reaction was - Jian Shuo wants to operate on me!

Coupled with the information delivered to him by Queen He before, he was even more determined on this point.

"Your Majesty, please take a closer look!" He Jin said hurriedly, "Guo Sheng is deeply favored by the emperor and is favored by the emperor. However, the Yellow Turban thieves have no way out. Guo Changshi has no reason to collude with them. I don't believe that Guo Changshi will collaborate with the enemy." .”

He Jin's defense of Guo Sheng immediately aroused the counterattack from other civil servants and generals. The biggest thing they have thought about for so many years is to bring down the ten permanent servants. However, they were unable to succeed because of the emperor's strong defense. Now they have finally found a turning point. How can you Jin What to do? Actually stood up for Shi Changshi?

Of course they knew the relationship between Guo Sheng and He Jin, but facing this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, the scholar group was going crazy with joy. Anyone who dared to stop him would be their biggest enemy.

"General, what are you doing?" Yuan Feng, who had been silent for a long time, suddenly spoke and said, "Last night, the general was still running around, trying to impeach the ten permanent servants in the court, but now he is trying his best to defend the eunuchs. defend?"

Yuan Feng's words were equivalent to selling He Jin directly.

Everyone looked at He Jin, including Zhang Rang, Zhao Zhong, and Jian Shuo. It turned out that Butcher He was doing this kind of thing secretly.

"Your Majesty, the general formed a clique for personal gain and slandered his close ministers. He should be dismissed and investigated." Jian Shuo reported.

As for Zhao Zhong and Zhang Rang, they were stunned. Things changed so fast that they had exceeded the speed of their brains' CPUs, and they felt like they were about to explode.

Guo Sheng colluded with the Yellow Turbans? They are with Guo Sheng every day, how come they don't know if it's true or not?

For a moment, they were not sure which side the emperor and Jian Shuo were playing. When they saw that He Jin was helping Guo Sheng, they couldn't stand on either side. "The one who really colluded with the Yellow Turban Thieves was Feng Xu." He Jin said loudly. He wanted to divert attention. "A few years ago, when the Yellow Turban Thieves first emerged, Feng Xu colluded with Zhang Jiao's disciple Ma Yuanyi to plot an uprising. The evidence is conclusive. Being imprisoned by His Majesty, you should be punished for the crime of Feng Xu, what does it have to do with Guo Sheng?"

"Then let Feng Xu and Guo Sheng be put to death together!" Liu Ming saw that if the quarrel continued endlessly, he might as well kill one more Zhongchang servant. They were not good birds anyway. If one more person died, he would be able to save himself. It will make things less troublesome in the future, "What do you think, Qing Jian?"

Liu Ming kicked the ball towards Jian Shuo.

"This..." Jian Shuo hesitated, feeling a little regretful about taking on the role of such a powerful minister. It seems that being a powerful minister is not that easy. If he were left to decide everything, he would probably go crazy.

How come these damn officials don't play by the rules? The correct answers you prepare yourself often never get a chance to be used.

Feng Xu was not part of the original plan at all, but in terms of culpability, his crime was much greater than Guo Sheng's.

And they are all colluding with the Yellow Turbans. If you want to kill Guo Sheng to warn He Jin, then you can't keep Feng Xu, otherwise you won't be able to convince the public at all.

"Your Majesty, none of the ten permanent servants are loyal. I suggest that they all be taken down and investigated thoroughly." Gai Xun watched the excitement and continued to add fuel to the fire.

"Bold, are you teaching me how to do things? Why don't you back down!" Liu Ming lowered his face and stared at this close-minded guy.

Now the ten permanent servants cannot be killed, otherwise he will really have no grip at all, and he won't even be able to find anyone who can be used.

"Boldly honor me." Zhang Rang felt a lot more at ease when he heard that he had nothing to do with him. "Your Majesty has made a decision, but you are still entangled. What is your intention? I ask your Majesty to punish him for the crime of deceiving the emperor!"

"Stop it when you see it." Yuan Feng whispered to Yuan Wei next to him, and then stepped forward and praised loudly: "Your Majesty is a wise man. It is really a benevolent act to kill the two thieves Feng Xu and Guo Sheng and rectify the imperial court. !”

"Your Majesty, your Majesty!" Yuan Wei reacted and knew that it was impossible to expand the results of the victory. He first protected his immediate interests and hurriedly stepped forward to praise him.

Lu Zhi: "Your Majesty is wise!"

Gai Xun: "Your Majesty is wise!"

"Alas!" He Jin sighed, knowing that there was no chance of recovery, so he reluctantly said, "Your Majesty, you are wise!"

"What do Jian Qing think?" Liu Ming looked at Jian Shuo.

Jian Shuo couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief when he saw that the courtiers no longer pointed the finger at him. Today, the purpose of killing Guo Sheng and warning He Jin had been achieved, so he gave up as soon as he could. He hurriedly said: "Your Majesty has judged the sage!"

Everyone looked at Jian Shuo, and everyone knew in their hearts that Jian Shuo had now become the leader in the court, and His Majesty would always ask Jian Shuo when making decisions.

The joy of overthrowing Feng Xu and Guo Sheng was suddenly cast a shadow again.

Seeing the eyes of the courtiers staring at him, Jian Shuo showed a complacent expression, feeling more and more that this emperor's substitute was a useful talent, which invisibly pushed his status up a level.

It seems that I will have to discuss some matters with this substitute more in the future. After all, I don't have effective staff under my command at the moment. It is obviously unrealistic to have to listen to His Majesty's decision while lying on the hospital bed in a daze.

Little did he know that he had been put on fire.

"Pass my decree to order Dong Zhuo to quickly advance his troops and relieve the siege of Chencang." Liu Ming immediately issued an order, "The two thieves Feng Xu and Guo Sheng will have their carriages broken up in the city, and their property will be confiscated!"
