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

Chapter 55 Jian Shuo was shocked one after another
  Dong Zhuo's entry into the capital will have a destructive outcome, shattering the order of the court, the eunuchs, relatives, and the dignitaries of the family.

What was left behind was a chaotic world of strife in the world, with endless troubles to follow. The decline of national power and people's power even affected the Five Husties in China more than a hundred years later, and the Han people were almost exterminated.

But now, Liu Ming, a time traveler, is a drop in the ocean in troubled times. It is really difficult to turn the tide.

But no matter how difficult it is, it must be overcome. The center of power of the Han Dynasty must not fall into the hands of violent saboteurs like Dong Zhuo.

Liu Ming looked at the proud Jian Shuo. There was no doubt that this eunuch had reached the peak of his life at this moment, but he did not realize that he was not far from death.

"Did the general decide to transfer Dong Zhuo to Beijing?" Liu Ming adjusted his mood and asked.

"Butcher He came to the table and said that banditry was raging around Luoyang, and he wanted to mobilize Dong Zhuo to lead the border troops to Beijing to quell the chaos." Jian Shuo said disapprovingly, "I asked His Majesty for instructions and agreed, and also added a former general to him, so When he comes to the capital, he also wants to donate some money to this general. Isn't it wonderful?"

After saying that, he even showed a complacent look, waiting for the emperor's stand-in to flatter him.

This substitute has been very well-behaved since he entered the palace. Whenever this general is not bad at all, he will give you extremely comforting words of praise.

However, Liu Ming did not praise this time. He knew that history still has its own inertia. Sure enough, it was He Jin who ordered Dong Zhuo to come to Beijing, and his purpose was probably to kill Jian Shuo.

"Has the general received any memorials about banditry around Kyoto recently?" Liu Ming asked.

"I didn't pay attention to this." Jian Shuo didn't take it seriously and said, "This general only focuses on big things and doesn't care about these small things..."

He suddenly paused, looked at Liu Ming, and asked doubtfully: "Do you suspect that Butcher He has an ulterior motive in bringing Dong Zhuo to Beijing? Come with me!"

Before Liu Ming could say anything, Jian Shuo pulled him out of Changle Palace and hurried to his office not far away.

As soon as he entered the room, Liu Ming saw that the couch and the floor were piled with memorials. There was almost no place to put his feet. He didn't know how long they had been backlogged.

"Quick! Look for any memorials about the banditry in Luoyang!" Jian Shuo ordered.

Immediately, two young eunuchs started to look for it. Jian Shuo was too slow and started to look for it himself.

Because Liu Ming wanted to maintain the persona of the emperor, he did not take action himself. He sat there and pondered the current situation.

Half an hour later, I had rummaged through everything I could. There were memorials about banditry, but they were not around Luoyang. Obviously, they had nothing to do with what He Jin had reported this time.

"There is no sign of banditry in Kyoto!" Jian Shuo said with a solemn expression, and he began to feel that things were not that simple.

"Pan Yin! Pan Yin!" Jian Shuo shouted loudly.

Pan Yin, who was waiting in the courtyard, hurriedly ran in and asked, "What are your orders, general?"

"Go to the Xiyuan Military Camp immediately and ask Zhang Yang to send out detective horses to find out if there is any large-scale banditry around Luoyang in the near future. Go right away!" Jian Shuo ordered loudly.

"Follow the order!" Pan Yin agreed, turned around and ran away.

Jian Shuo dismissed the two young eunuchs, stared at Liu Ming and asked, "What do you think of this matter? Could it be that He Jin accepted Dong Zhuo's bribe and wanted to transfer Dong Zhuo back to the capital from the bitter cold and war-torn land? Here is If there is no one else, I will explain it to you. It is because I received Dong Zhuo's money that I interceded in front of your majesty and approved He Jin's memorial. Otherwise, his memorial would never have reached your majesty." Liu Ming You know, Jian Shuo is still taking chances now. He doesn't want to believe that he tied the noose around his neck with his own hands.

"If you accept bribes and want to promote Dong Zhuo, you can send him to Beijing alone. Why do you need to let him lead troops to Beijing?" Liu Ming asked rhetorically.

"What you said makes sense, and I have to be suspicious!" Jian Shuo frowned, "Waiting for the news of Tan Ma, I want to see what He Jin, this good guy, is going to do?"

Although he said so, he was still very nervous in his heart, because in the whole world, if He Jin's biggest enemy was to be him, it would naturally be Jian Shuo. If He Jin transferred Dong Zhuo to lead troops to Beijing, he would have something else If you want to do it, then it must be to do something for him!

The room fell silent for a moment.

After a long time, Liu Ming took the lead to break the silence and said: "Yesterday, I was chased by the concubines in the harem. When I passed by the East Palace, I saw an old woman standing at the door. Afterwards, Pan Yin told me that she was Queen Mother."

"Did the Queen Mother see you? Did he say anything?" Jian Shuo asked anxiously. He was afraid that the Queen Mother and the substitute emperor would bump into each other face to face and cause some trouble.

"I saw it, the Queen Mother didn't speak." Liu Ming said solemnly, "Although we didn't meet face to face, we could still see each other clearly. The Queen Mother's expression was very disdainful and disgusting, not at all like a mother looking at her son."

Jian Shuo raised his head and pinched his eyebrows, feeling that something was wrong, "The Queen Mother loves Your Majesty the most. It is impossible for her not to speak when she sees you, and it is impossible to show disgust. Your current identity is His Majesty who has just recovered from his illness, even if you are treasonous. Even if you go to say hello, the Queen Mother will never ignore her. It’s strange... that’s her own son!”

"What if the Queen Mother knows that I am not her biological son?" Liu Ming expressed his guess.

Jian Shuo was startled, with astonishment in his eyes, "You mean the Queen Mother also knows that you are a substitute? Impossible! His Majesty said personally that only Your Majesty, you and I know about this matter."

"What if His Majesty lies to you?" Liu Ming stared into Jian Shuo's eyes and said slowly and meaningfully.

"This is even more impossible. How could Your Majesty lie to me? This general is the person Your Majesty trusts the most..." Jian Shuo suddenly stopped mid-sentence, as if he remembered something, and his whole body trembled, like a candle in the wind. generally.

"Today, His Majesty suddenly told me, General, not to mess around in the harem, otherwise it will lead to chaos and chaos." Jian Shuo's voice was trembling, and his heart was obviously full of surprise and fear, "At that time, I, the General, did not I care, after you said it...it is obvious that His Majesty already knew about your troubles with the concubines in the harem yesterday, so he deliberately sought confirmation from this general."

"One is to examine what I have done, and the other is to test whether the general is loyal!" Liu Ming immediately expressed his analysis.

Jian Shuo's eyes were vacant and lifeless. He looked at Liu Ming, then at the memorial papers on the ground, and finally at the night outside the door.

After a long time, Jian Shuo suddenly shouted: "Come here!"

Immediately a young eunuch came in and saluted: "General, what are your orders?"

"Captain Li is here to see you!" Jian Shuo said loudly.

The little eunuch agreed and turned around to leave.

Lieutenant Li is one of the captains guarding Jiade Palace. He happened to be on duty today, and he was originally considered one of Jian Shuo's confidants.
