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

Chapter 53 He Jin sees through the truth

The general's palace continued to celebrate until the afternoon, and everyone was almost drunk, and then they left one after another.

He Jin didn't drink less, because this time he was the leader, so everyone came to toast, and he didn't refuse anyone who came, so he drank a little dizzy.

Just as he was about to take a rest, two people came, his younger brother He Miao and his younger sister Queen He.

"You came at the right time." He Jin said happily, "Now that the big thing has been accomplished, my He family's status is stable and I will become a new star in the gentry."

"Your Majesty ordered you to secretly prepare to deal with the thieves, but you must not act rashly and obey his orders. Why do you make your own decisions and make it known to everyone?" Queen He asked directly and without any politeness.

WHAT?

He Miao's eyes widened, looking at He Jin for a while and Queen He for a while, with disbelief on his face.

What? Are the emperor, empress, and general working together to deal with Jian Shuo? I’m the only one who doesn’t know about such a big thing?
  At this moment, He Miao felt that he was severely marginalized. In the He family, the three of them often discussed big and small matters together, but no one mentioned this matter to him.

Now that I think about it, wouldn't my opposition to He Jin mean my opposition to His Majesty the Emperor? No, although His Majesty also wants to deal with Jian Shuo, from his sister's tone, it seems that he does not approve of He Jin's actions.

"How can you be good at making opinions?" He Jin retorted dissatisfiedly, "Isn't it just to prepare for brother's conferment with his cronies? Besides, how can it be known to everyone? Did Shuda (also known as He Miao) tell you nonsense? ?”

"You stay in the palace and think you are right. Now everyone in the capital knows that you want to deal with the thieves." He Miao said rudely, "As soon as I entered the palace today, Zhao Zhong and Zhang Rang told me that they heard that the general wanted to deal with the thieves. Thief, do you need their support? Think about it, even the people in the palace know about it, who else doesn't know about it? "

"Ah?" He Jin was a little dumbfounded, feeling a chill rising from his back, and murmured to himself, "So it's very possible that the thief knew about it? But why didn't he take measures to fight back? Instead, he was so happy So he agreed to my troop deployment report...Conspiracy! There is definitely a conspiracy!"

At this time, He Jin was no longer drunk and suddenly sobered up. He felt that a big pit was right in front of him, waiting for him to jump into.

His plan to kill Jian Shuo was all discussed in secret. How could the whole city know about it, even the people in the relatively closed palace knew about it?
  Since the whole city knew about it, then the thief must also know about it, but why did he let himself do what he did?
  "Is Your Majesty also aware of my brother's recent actions?" He Miao asked his sister, "What is Your Majesty's attitude?"

He Jin also came over and heard that His Majesty was banned from Changle Palace and was not allowed to have contact with external affairs. If even His Majesty knew about it, then basically everyone in the entire Luoyang City would know about it.

"Your Majesty is wise and has insight into world affairs. Naturally, he has already known it." Queen He pretended to be cowardly, raised her slender neck and said, "Furthermore, Your Majesty also said that if He plans big things without keeping it secret, he will be harmed."

He Jin stood stunned on the spot, at a loss. His Majesty actually knew about it, but he didn't understand that it was Empress He who revealed Liu Ming's news.

"In yesterday's discussion, some people advised you to lead troops directly into the palace, and some people suggested that you go directly to the Jian Mansion to bloodbath. Is there a conclusion in the end?" He Miao asked. He left the meeting midway, so he didn't know what happened next. "And you I just said that Jian Thief agreed to your troop deployment, what happened?"

He Miao felt that he could no longer ignore this matter. He seemed to sense that huge risks were approaching him silently. It took a lot of effort for him to reach his current status, and he was afraid that he might not be able to protect it.

"Yesterday's conclusion was to send Dong Zhuo to Beijing to kill Jian Shuo." He Jin said with a look of confusion, "Although I found a perfect excuse in the memorial, the imperial edict came from the palace this morning. Your Majesty and The thieves all agreed to transfer Dong Zhuo to the capital, but the speed was too fast... Do you think it is strange?" "My He family is in danger." He Miao exclaimed, "I'm afraid that when Dong Zhuo arrives in Beijing, it will be my He family. The day of destruction.”

"How do you say this?" He Jin and Queen He all stared at He Miao, showing nervousness.

"The imperial officials colluded with foreign soldiers to enter the capital, and they were convicted of treason. Your death is a small matter, but it has harmed the entire He family. This is a crime of genocide." He Miao said sadly, "Why don't you discuss such a big matter with our own family? But you still believe in outsiders? It’s over! My He family is over!”

"No!" Queen He shook her head firmly and said, "Although Your Majesty doesn't like the General making decisions and not keeping secrets, in the big picture, Your Majesty still supports the General in killing the thieves. With me in the palace, even if Your Majesty blames me, it will not harm the entire He family."

"Your vision is still too narrow, short-sighted, and you don't know the truth." He Jin slowly stood up and expressed his true judgment, "Your Majesty will definitely take action against the He family, at least he will use my position as a general to kill It doesn’t matter if you don’t kill Jian Shuo.”

Queen He: "How is that possible?"

He Miao: "Absolutely impossible!"

Queen He and He Miao objected at the same time. The He family was now at the height of its power. How could His Majesty take action against the He family if there was no major crime such as rebellion?
  They have always dreamed of becoming one of the famous families.

"Why is it impossible? We have already taken action! You are the only ones who are still living in your own delusions." He Jin said bluntly, "The purpose of establishing the Xiyuan Forbidden Army is to divide the power of me, the general, and kill Guo Sheng. Just to cut off the He family's reliance in the palace, the knife has been placed on the He family's neck, but you are still dreaming of sweet dreams, wake up."

"That's not the case." Queen He was the first to object. "It was Jian Shuo's idea to kill Guo Sheng. This is what His Majesty told me personally."

She would never believe that the emperor would take action against the He family. His Majesty was so affectionate towards her and she served him so enchantedly. How could he be willing to take action against the He family?
  "Don't be naive. Do you believe everything His Majesty says?" He Jin, using the strength of his drink, said bluntly, "Then what does he mean by dividing my military power? In the court, the thieves want to kill Guo Sheng. Your Majesty ignored the objections of me, a great general, and agreed without any hesitation. If he still had our He family in his heart, would he have done it so simply?"

Queen He and He Miao looked at each other with complex expressions, including confusion and horror. This was something they had never imagined.

In fact, it took a long time for He Jin to figure out the reasons for some things after reviewing them with his close aides.

"I still don't believe it." Queen He said, "Your Majesty also said that he wanted to make Bian'er the crown prince, but the Queen Mother and the Jian thieves opposed it, so he delayed. If he wants to make Bian'er, he must rely on the assistance of our He family. ! I don’t believe that Your Majesty will attack the He family. I will go back to the palace and ask Your Majesty..."

Queen He said, got up and left.

But He Jin pressed him down, "Wake up, my good sister, do you think the emperor is kissing the Queen Mother, or is he kissing you? The one who hates our He family the most is the Queen Mother."

Queen He sat there blankly, her eyes lost their luster, and tears gradually came out.

"Then what's your real intention in sending Dong Zhuo to Beijing this time..." He Miao probed.
