Liu Qi, the hegemon of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 41
After the Ten Permanent Attendants finished their discussions in the hall, they began to act separately.

In Emperor Ling's bedroom.

Emperor Ling was half lying on the dragon bed. Under the service of the maid, he finished drinking the medicine and was about to lie down when a young eunuch walked in.

"Your Majesty, Mr. Zhongchang Attendant Jian seeks an audience!" said the little eunuch.

Lingdi was stunned for a moment, usually Zhang Rang, Guo Sheng, and Zhao Zhong were by his side, and the rest of them were on official business, why would Jian Shuo come over today, he couldn't figure it out, so he opened his mouth Said: "Let him in!"

"No!" The little eunuch walked out with a half-bow.

Soon.
Jian Shuo walked in from the outside, and stopped not far from Emperor Ling, and knelt down and said, "Minister Jian Shuo sees Your Majesty, Long live Your Majesty, Long live, Long live!"

"Aiqing is flat!" Lingdi said.

Jian Shuo also stood up from the ground, glanced at Lingdi, then quickly withdrew his gaze, and felt that Zhang Rang was not exaggerating. This time it was really a critical moment for their ten servants. After one illness, he looked even older and very weak. If he could persist for a month, he didn't know how many expensive drugs would be used.

"Ahem..." Lingdi coughed a few times, then looked at Jian Shuo, and said weakly, "I don't know why Aiqing came to see me this time?"

Jian Shuo also realized that this time he came here for business, organized his words in his mind, and then said: "Your Majesty, I have heard some bad rumors outside!"

"Oh, what's the rumor?"

"Return to Your Majesty, because His Majesty was in poor health yesterday, the banquet was canceled, and there were rumors that His Majesty would never get sick again!"

"Bastard. Cough!" Emperor Ling was furious. Although he knew his physical condition, he couldn't help being angry when he heard such a statement.

"Your Majesty, calm down!" Jian Shuo knelt down immediately, his head lay on the ground, his body trembling, but there was a look of joy in his eyes.

Lingdi widened his eyes, looked at Jian Shuo who was lying on the ground, and shouted, "Who is spreading the rumors?"

"Return to your majesty, because your majesty has not established the position of the crown prince, and he fell ill at this time. According to the laws of the Han Dynasty, the eldest son, Wang Zibian, will be the heir to the great line. Therefore, General He held a banquet in the mansion !” Jian Shuo said with a lot of lies.

He remembered what Zhang Rang had said to him before he came, as long as He Jin, who was pushed out by the gentry, could be eliminated and a warning would be given to kill chickens and monkeys, then they would be able to return to the previous state of balance.

And as Emperor Ling's personal servants, they all knew that because of Empress Dowager Dong, Emperor Ling also preferred Wang Zixie over Wang Zibian, and wanted to make Wang Zixie the crown prince very early on, but they never found the opportunity.

Empress Dowager Dong is the mother of Emperor Ling and the wife of Liu Chang, Marquis of Jieduting.At the beginning, because Emperor Heng had no son, the son of Marquis Jieduting was welcomed to be the Emperor Ling.Emperor Ling entered Datong, and then welcomed his adoptive mother into the palace and honored him as empress dowager.

The prince was co-raised in the Queen Mother Dong's palace, so he was favored by the Queen Mother Dong.

"Rebellious minister and traitor, how dare you do this!" Lingdi gritted his teeth, his face turned red with anger.

Seeing Emperor Ling's state, Jian Shuo also knew that his framing had achieved some results, but he hadn't succeeded yet, and he needed to continue to work hard, saying: "Your Majesty, calm down and take care of the dragon's body!"

"Aiqing, what's the plan to get rid of this rebellious minister and villain, and welcome the prince to cooperate with you as the crown prince!" Emperor Ling was already dazzled by anger.

This can't be blamed on him, after all, he is too old, and he is not long after he is seriously ill, and he believes in the ten regular servants all the year round, so he doesn't think that Jian Shuo, one of the ten regular servants, will deceive him. That is—there are always troublemakers trying to harm me!
Hearing this, Jian Shuo was overjoyed, but he restrained himself instantly.

Seriously said: "Your Majesty, I think I can take advantage of this matter and announce the establishment of the crown prince. However, if you want to establish the prince Xie as the crown prince, then you must get rid of He Jin to avoid future troubles. The prince argues about the power over there!"

"How to implement it?" Lingdi asked after concentrating for a moment.

"Your Majesty can send someone to invite He to enter the palace tonight, saying that he wants to discuss the matter of establishing a crown prince. In his words, he can argue for the establishment of the prince as the crown prince. In this way, He Jin will have no doubts. I am willing to lead my swords and axes to lie in ambush on both sides, and wait." How can you enter the palace, fight out from both sides, and kill rebels and traitors for His Majesty!" Jian Shuo also took the time to show his loyalty.

"Haha, Aiqing is really my loyal subject, so just follow what Aiqing said. After killing the rebellious ministers and thieves, I will definitely reward you heavily!" Emperor Ling laughed.

Thinking of being able to kill He Jin who cursed him to death, and taking this opportunity to appoint his favorite prince Xie as the crown prince, Longyan was very happy.

"promise!"

The joy in Jian Shuo's eyes couldn't go away, thinking that if his strategy could succeed and gain the reputation of supporting the young emperor, then his future life would be stable.

Emperor Ling also sent someone to send pen and ink, and wrote down the imperial decree, announcing that He entered the palace, and handed it to Jian Shuo.

Jian Shuo also took the imperial decree to make arrangements, gathered hundreds of people, and waited for the night to come, then sent people to the General's Mansion to read the imperial decree, let He enter the palace, and ambush He Jin in the palace.

When Jian Shuo made a move.

The other nine ten permanent attendants also took action one after another, and some walked towards the palace of Empress Dowager Dong. Zhang Rang and Guo Sheng were supposed to go to Queen He's palace, but stopped halfway.

"Zhang Rang, why did you ask Jian Shuo to persuade His Majesty? If you know that this matter can be successful, it will be a great achievement!" Guo Sheng said puzzled.

Zhang Rang shook his head and said: "You only see the merits, but not the faults; if this matter can be accomplished, we still have merits, but less; You can also take the opportunity to seek asylum, and Jian Shuo sometimes disagrees with us, occupies some military power in his hands, and sometimes despises the nine of us, so it is most suitable for him to do this."

Guo Sheng was also stunned, he didn't expect so many things in it, but he was not dissatisfied with Zhang Rang's decision, and he felt a little happy in his heart, you must know that he was also unhappy with Jian Shuo.

"Then should we go to Empress He's side now?" Guo Sheng asked.

"There is no need to be in such a hurry. Wait for a while. You also go to gather some cronies. If the matter is revealed, you can kill Jian Shuo before he is caught. If you can't let him be exposed, I will also participate. I will go to see you again." Empress He, then you will be able to save a small life; and if the ambush and murder plan is successful, then there is no need to go to Empress He's side!" Zhang Rang said.

"It's a good move to kill with a knife, and neither side will offend!" Guo Sheng praised.

Zhang Rang was also very happy, this was the smartest time for him, according to the plan, no matter whether it succeeds or not, it will not threaten his own life.

"All we need now is to wait, let's see who can't bear it first!" Zhang Rang said.

Guo Sheng also nodded in agreement, and his eyes were shining brightly.

Jian Shuo, who was busy, didn't know that he had been cheated, and was very excited to make arrangements.
