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

Chapter 52 Everyone is happy and contented
  "They said that a low-ranking general should not dictate political affairs in the court." Jian Shuo looked aggrieved.

In fact, since the emperor fell ill in the Jiade Palace, he had only gone to court with Liu Ming once, just to find an excuse to get an official position for himself.

"This matter is easy to hear." Emperor Ling said casually, "Ai Qing, please take up the post of Guangxun. This position is both civil and military. He will be in charge of palace affairs and can legitimately participate in court discussions."

Guangxun is one of the Nine Qings, a high-ranking official with two thousand stones. Although he is not as good as the Three Dukes, he still holds a high and powerful position.

"Thank you for your gift!" Jian Shuo hurriedly knelt down and thanked you, "I will definitely perform my duties with all my heart and live up to your majesty's favor. This humble minister who holds the position of Nine Ministers will not sit in vain. I will donate 300,000 yuan to your majesty..."

Emperor Ling was filled with joy and said: "Get up and speak, Jian Qing, you don't have to be polite."

With such a virtuous character, he is already sitting in the position of emperor and still obsessed with making money. Even if the people closest to him donate money, he will not give in at all.

"When Dong Zhuo comes to Beijing, do you want to give him a promotion, so that he can donate some money to His Majesty?" Jian Shuo said as he saw Emperor Ling's eyes widening at the sight of money.

"Ai Qing's words are reasonable and very much in line with my wishes." Emperor Ling was indeed even happier and said, "The position of former general is still vacant, so give it to Dong Zhuo. Ai Qing will keep the money for me first."

"Thank you for your trust, Your Majesty." Jian Shuo paused for a moment before continuing, "Since Your Majesty has ordered a small minister to take charge of palace affairs, I dare to ask for something. I hope Your Majesty will grant you permission."

"My dear, please speak, but it doesn't matter." Emperor Ling motioned to Jian Shuo and said directly,
  He guessed that Jian Shuo might want to mention various overt and covert struggles in the palace again, and take advantage of his role as Guangxun to petition to overthrow Zhao Zhong, Zhang Rang and others.

"The two princes have grown up and cannot be lax in their teaching. Although Wei Chen is not good at writing, he is proficient in martial arts. I boldly ask Your Majesty to allow Wei Chen to teach the prince swordsmanship." After Jian Shuo finished speaking, he felt a little excited.

This is simply a big game.

Serving as the prince's mentor can not only improve one's status, but also fulfill one's obsession with this position and enhance the relationship with the prince.

Of course, the most important plan is that if His Majesty really collapses one day, a prince must take over, and he, a powerful official, will definitely continue to be favored by the new emperor.

It can be said to serve multiple purposes.

Emperor Ling didn't expect that Jian Shuo made such a request. He couldn't help but smile and immediately agreed, "I'm sure! Teaching the prince is not an easy task. Aiqing will have to work hard."

Jian Shuo thanked him again, left the Jiade Hall with great satisfaction, and hurried to pass on his teachings.

Just after Jian Shuo left, an old woman walked out from behind the screen in the palace. She wore a golden crown, frost-white temples, and was dressed in rich clothes, looking dignified and majestic.

If Liu Ming were here, he would definitely be able to recognize her at a glance. This woman is the Empress Dowager Dong whom he saw at the gate of the East Palace yesterday.

"Do you think what Jian Shuo said is true?" Emperor Ling asked.

"It seems to be about the same." Empress Dowager Dong thought for a while and said, "The substitute was indeed running away in a panic at that time, and a group of little waves were chasing him. By the way, Pan Yin was pushed left and right in the crowd. There were indeed several places. The clothes were torn.”

Emperor Ling let out a sigh of relief, "Let me just say, Jian Shuo is a reliable person, and the substitute has also been checked, and there is absolutely nothing wrong with him."

"Alas, but this is not a long-term solution after all." Empress Dowager Dong sighed, "The substitute hired a new concubine. Although she was not a palace girl originally, it was in the name of you as the emperor after all. Na, as soon as I heard that my substitute was that witch and couldn't leave Changle Palace, my mother felt angry, she didn't care, she didn't care, it was really irritating."

Emperor Ling knew about Liu Ming's concubine, and Jian Shuo even boasted that he was responsible for it. Emperor Ling was naturally very supportive. In this way, the substitute will have a reason not to favor other concubines, so that the women in his harem will be safe.

But now after Empress Dowager Dong reminded her, Emperor Ling felt that what his mother said was too reasonable. Even though Feng Fang was not his concubine originally, the substitute took her as his concubine in his own name.

This is different from just visiting a palace maid, this time she is a titled concubine.

Even if she has never been lucky enough, as long as she has the title of concubine, she is her own woman.

However, this woman who is nominally his own is slept with by another man every day!

Emperor Ling suddenly felt a green light appear on his head.

Even my nominal woman cannot be slept with by others!
  But what to do now? Really castrate him? Obviously it was not good. This idea had been mentioned by Jian Shuo a long time ago, but was rejected by Emperor Ling.

To make him no longer favor Concubine Shu? It doesn't seem right, Concubine Shu has been replaced by a substitute.

Now we are stuck in an infinite loop. No solution!
  "For the present plan, it is better to take good care of your health as soon as possible." Empress Dowager Dong couldn't bear it when she saw Emperor Ling's embarrassment, and advised, "As long as you recover from your illness and get rid of the substitute, nothing will happen. , but you have to learn a lesson and don’t indulge in drinking and sex anymore, which will hurt your roots.”

"I understand." Emperor Ling said weakly. At this moment, he felt that this substitute plan was not a very clever one.

"Jian Shuo is also a selfish person, so you must be careful." Empress Dowager Dong reminded, "I heard that Dong Zhuo is unruly. If he leads troops to the capital, I am afraid... Well, it is difficult for a female member of the Ai family to control the overall situation, but in any case I feel so flustered.”

"Dong Zhuo is unruly, and it depends on who he is facing." Emperor Ling said disapprovingly, "How can he be unruly in front of me? Besides, Dong Zhuo and his mother have the same surname, and Dong Zhong is a general under his command. He It’s too late to get close to him, so how can he cause trouble?”

……

Jian Shuo left the Jiade Hall with great satisfaction and immediately issued an edict. He sent a capable eunuch to take the edict and go to the General's Mansion first to inform He Jin of the results of the memorial. He Jin also issued a military order to mobilize troops and sent troops to escort him. The eunuch went to the front line of Chencang to deliver the order.

He Jin didn't expect the matter to be handled so smoothly. He originally thought that Jian Shuo would be in trouble no matter what if he saw the memorial handed over by the general's palace, which would at least delay it for a while. Although his excuse was well made, Jian Shuo Shuo never cares whether the reasons are right or wrong when doing things, only whether it is the right way for him.

Unexpectedly, the memorial submitted yesterday afternoon was approved this morning, and an edict was also issued. This efficiency was unprecedented since Jian Shuo took control of the government.

In a good mood, he summoned several close ministers to celebrate together. Yuan Shao was also invited. Cao Cao and He Miao were not invited. These two people had been at odds with him recently, and He Jin had excluded them from his circle of confidants. outside.

It seems that Dong Zhuo will soon go to Beijing to kill Jian Shuo, and some people have begun to wish that the castration will be successful.

"As Shao sees it, the task of eradicating evil has been completed." Yuan Shao held the wine bottle with a ferocious look on his face and said, "If Dong Zhuo comes, all the ten regular servants must be killed to avoid future troubles."

"As a general, if you want to kill them all, just kill them all without leaving a single one alive." He Jin's general Wu Kuang drank a little too much and said loudly, "All men in the palace without beards will be killed." We must kill them! Even those with beards must take off their pants and look at them, hahahaha..."

Everyone laughed together, everyone was satisfied and confident of victory.
