The Most Powerful Man in the World

Speaking of which, Jian Shuo seemed to understand something, with a look of horror on his face, and even stood up all of a sudden, exclaiming: "You...you are not worried that He Jin wants to kill the king!"

Chu Yi's face was full of seriousness and he said solemnly: "It's not that I'm worried about He Jin's murder, but looking at He Jin's actions, if there is a chance, he may not be able to fight, don't forget, His Majesty is now He is already terminally ill, and even if he dies suddenly, not many people will suspect the civil and military affairs of the Manchu Dynasty..."

Jian Shuo is really loyal to Liu Hong. Hearing what Chu Yi said, he immediately strode out of the tent and said, "No, I have to rush back to the palace. Your Majesty must not have an accident!"

Jian Shuo didn't even bother to ride the carriage, and directly ran his cultivation base to hurry on the road. With Jian Shuo's Tianjun-level cultivation base, it was only half a cup of tea, and Jian Shuo appeared in the palace.

Outside the main hall, Zhang Rang and Zhao Zhong were busy discussing Liu Hong's condition with the imperial doctor.

Zhang Rang, who had reacted, stepped out and grabbed Jian Shuo and said, "Jian Shuo, Your Majesty wants to be quiet. You broke in like this, aren't you afraid of disturbing His Majesty's purity?"

At this moment, Jian Shuo's mind is full of the safety of the Son of Heaven, and while pulling openly, he said: "I have to see Your Majesty, we will leave His Majesty alone in the bedroom, in case of any accident, who can take responsibility for this? Can afford it, you, or me..."

Hearing what Jian Shuo said, Zhang Rang and Zhao Zhong were not fools, their expressions changed immediately, and the two broke into the emperor's palace almost one step faster than Jian Shuo.

It was quiet in the bedroom, and the faint sandalwood suppressed the smell of traditional Chinese medicine in the bedroom, but for some unknown reason, Zhang Rang and Zhao Zhong were full of ominous feelings when they walked into the bedroom.

Looking at each other, Zhang Rang and Zhao Zhong appeared in front of Liu Hong's bed almost immediately. Looking around, the two of them felt like they were struck by lightning. Almost instantly, their bodies softened and they slumped on the edge of the bed. .

"It's over, it's over!"

"His Majesty……"

Jian Shuo took a step slowly, and before he could see the situation on the bed clearly, he saw Zhang Rang and Zhao Zhong collapse softly on the edge of the bed, and his heart suddenly thumped, and his heart sank.

He strode forward and only glanced at it, and Jian Shuo couldn't help shaking his body, with a look of horror on his face.

Seeing on the bed, Liu Hong's eyes were wide open, black blood flowed from the corners of his mouth, and even exuded a faint stench, one could tell at a glance that he was poisoned.

A trembling hand was placed on Liu Hong's wrist. Jian Shuo held a ten thousandth hope. However, what made Jian Shuo feel desperate was that although Liu Hong said that his wrist was still warm, he had already lost his pulse. It is said that Liu Hong has returned to the sky at this moment, and even if there is an elixir, it is difficult to save Liu Hong's life.

"He Jin, you are so vicious!"

With a low shout, Jian Shuo's face was full of anger, only Zhang Rang and Zhao Zhong came back to their senses, and when Jian Shuo called out He Jin's name, Zhang Rang and Zhao Zhong were not fools, and immediately reacted.

Although it is still a little unbelievable that the emperor was poisoned, but thinking of He Jin's actions today, they had to make them suspect that the death of the emperor was the order of He Jin.

Zhao Zhong took a deep breath and said, "Check it out, where are Hu Liji and the others today."

Hu Li and several Xiao Huangmen were the inner servants who stayed to take care of the emperor's daily life. After all, Liu Hong couldn't walk, and it was very difficult to move, so there must be someone around to serve.

Previously, Liu Hong drove away Zhang Rang and Zhao Zhong, but there was a personal servant who stayed to serve.

It is really unlikely that the person who could poison Liu Hong at this time was other than the few personal servants.

Soon Zhao Zhong and Zhang Rang found several corpses behind the screen beside the emperor's bed. One of the corpses was leaning on the screen, with black blood flowing from the corners of his mouth. As for the other servants It was with a look of horror that his head was twisted off.

Just looking at this situation, Jian Shuo almost gritted his teeth and said, "Hu Li, it's actually him, I didn't expect that he would be He Jin's dead man!"

The Xiao Huangmen who committed suicide by poisoning was Hu Li. Even Zhang Rang and Zhao Zhong did not expect that the person who poisoned the emperor would be Hu Li, a personal servant trusted by the emperor.

You must know that even they sometimes have to give Hu Li a bit of a thin face. It can be seen that Hu Li's position in the side of the emperor, but it was Hu Li, who was trusted by the emperor, who poisoned the emperor himself.

Just when Zhao Zhong, Zhang Rang, and Jian Shuo were shocked in their hearts, they saw a figure hurriedly approaching, with a look of horror on their faces, and ran away: "Your Majesty, Your Majesty, it's not good, the big thing is bad. It's gone!"

Duan Gui's figure appeared in Zhang Rang, Zhao Zhong's line of sight, Duan Gui's face showed a bit of joy when he saw Zhang Rang and Zhao Zhong: "You guys are great here, He Jin, He Jin He actually brought people into the palace, he is going to rebel!"

After speaking, Duan Gui looked towards the bed and said, "Your Majesty, He Jin is going to rebel..."

The next moment, Duan Gui was like a ghost. The voice stopped abruptly. Dengdeng took a few steps back and sat on the ground. He said in horror, "Your Majesty, he..."

Apparently, Duan Gui saw Liu Hong's deadly appearance, and was so frightened that he lost his mind for a while.

Looking at each other, Zhang Rang took a deep breath and said, "You mustn't let He Jin and the others break in. If you let them see His Majesty's situation, I'm afraid I will die without a place to be buried."

Zhao Zhong also reacted, why did He Jin suddenly bring someone into the palace at this time? Obviously, the poisoning of the emperor was definitely arranged by He Jin, so He Jin got the news at the first time and had the courage to lead someone into the palace. .

And what was the purpose of He Jin bringing people here at this time, Zhang Rang and Zhao Zhong had to think deeply.

Confirming the death of the emperor must be the first, but there must be a statement about the death of the emperor. If they were He Jin, they would definitely not miss such a good opportunity to put the blame for poisoning the emperor directly on them.

Thinking of this, both Zhao Zhong and Zhang Rang panicked. The Son of Heaven was already dead, and it was obvious that he died of poisoning. As a result, even if they had mouths all over their bodies, they might not be able to tell. .

They could even imagine that He Jin and the others must have prepared so-called evidence to prove that the Son of Heaven was poisoned by their ten permanent servants. When the time comes, they can easily put them to death with the name of righteousness.

"Queen, for today's plan, we can save our free queen, go and ask the queen!"

Zhang Rang, Zhao Zhong, and Duan Gui went straight to the Queen's palace as if they had grabbed the last straw. For a while, Jian Shuo was left alone in the palace.

Jian Shuo was not as busy begging the queen to save his life as Zhang Rang and the others were, but instead stepped forward to sort out the remains of the emperor. Because he was killed by poison, it could be seen that Liu Hong must have suffered a lot before his death. His face looked a little grim, his hands clenched fists, and it was difficult to associate him with the supreme emperor.

"Ok?"

With a low cry, Jian Shuo noticed that there seemed to be something in Liu Hong's clenched fist. Seeing this, Jian Shuo carefully opened Liu Hong's hand. In Liu Hong's fist, Jian Shuo saw a jade pendant in his palm.

Holding the jade pendant in his hand, Jian Shuo glanced at it, and saw the word "association" engraved on the jade pendant. When he saw the jade pendant, Jian Shuo's expression changed greatly. He was no stranger to this jade pendant, it was clearly given to the emperor by the emperor. It can be said that it is almost a token of the Prince's Association.

"The vicious He Jin, even the Prince's Association refuses to let it go?"

Obviously, if He Jin and others found this jade pendant in the hands of the emperor, then it can be slandered that the emperor cooperated to kill the emperor, and this jade pendant can be said to be evidence.

But Jian Shuo knows the emperor's mind better than others. It can even be said that the establishment of the Eighth School of the West Garden is the preparation made by the emperor to choose the emperor's association as the emperor. Not many people even believe in the civil and military affairs of the Manchu Dynasty.

The Prince's Association really poisoned the emperor, and that was simply discriminating for the prince and clearing the way for the general He Jin.

Taking a deep breath, Jian Shuo clasped the jade pendant in his hand, and bowed to the emperor's body, with a firm look in his eyes, "Your Majesty, you have a spirit in heaven, please bless Jian Shuo to support Prince Xie's success in ascending the throne. ."

After worshiping the emperor's body, Jian Shuo immediately left the emperor's bedroom, disagreeing with Zhang Rang, Zhao Zong and the others rushing to the queen's bedroom, while Jian Shuo quietly left the palace and ran to the Eighth School of the West Garden.

Just before Jian Shuo left for less than a few dozen breaths, he heard a burst of noisy footsteps, headed by the general He Jin, and most of the three princes and nine ministers. Outside the emperor's bedroom.

Seeing that the general He Jin and several ministers broke into the emperor's palace, He Jin respectfully said: "My minister He Jin is shocked to hear that the eunuch wants to harm the emperor, and he has specially led an army to escort him, and I also ask your majesty to see him. ."

"I beg your Majesty to see you!"

It was quiet in the bedroom, He Jin bowed again towards the bed and said, "I beg your Majesty to see you."

At this moment, Yuan Huai frowned and said, "No, why is Your Majesty not responding."

After saying that, Yuan Huai said to He Jin: "General, let the old man go to visit His Majesty."

He Jin nodded slightly and said, "It's so hard work for Duke Yuan!"

Yuan Huai straightened his clothes, walked slowly to the bed, crossed a screen, Yuan Huai bowed down and said, "My minister Yuan Huai has disturbed Your Majesty, and I am extremely frightened, and I ask Your Majesty to forgive me.

However, there was still no movement on the bed, so Yuan Huai slowly raised his head and looked at it, and at a glance, he heard Yuan Huai exclaim: "Your Majesty, Your Majesty..."

He Jin and the others, who were waiting outside the screen, heard Yuan Huai's exclamation and rushed in immediately. At a glance, they all showed shock and anger.

"Zhang Rang, Zhao Zhong, you are so bold, you dare to poison the emperor..."

He Jin smashed the screen with a slap, and roared with a look of anger, as if he wanted to kill someone.

-------------Chapter Dividing Line---------------

"What, Your Majesty has returned to heaven..."

"God-killed thief, you dare to poison the Son of Heaven..."

"Kill the ten permanent servants and avenge your majesty..."

The several important officials who came along with He Jin for a while all had expressions of anger on their faces. At the same time, several people also entered the bedroom and saw Liu Hong's body lying on the bed.

With a thud, several important officials knelt down on the bed with sad expressions, and burst into tears with a look of loyalty.

Yuan Huai said to He Jin with a look of anger on his face: "General, Your Majesty returns to the sky, the affairs of the court still need the general to take charge of the affairs of the court, and the immediate priority is to ask the prince to inherit the line and continue my great Han kingdom. !"

Several important officials who were crying bitterly on Liu Hong's bed suddenly reacted when they heard the words, and said to He Jin in unison, "Also ask the general to preside over the overall situation, and ask the prince to inherit the throne and continue the Great Han Kingdom!"

He Jin's face showed a bit of joy, and he raised his chest and said: "This matter is the duty of the general, but above the court, you still need a lot of effort, I believe that after Bian'er inherits the throne, he will definitely not treat him badly. all of you."

Here, He Jin, Yuan Shao and other important officials in the court decided on Liu Hong's bed to be the next emperor of the big man. At the same time, in the queen's bedroom, Zhang Rang and Zhao Zhong rushed into the queen's bedroom. among.

Empress He, who had not rested for a long time, heard the movement outside the palace and could not help but get up with a look of impatience, and suddenly the quilt slipped down, revealing the fat body like suet and white jade.

The maid serving on the side hurriedly served He's clothes and covered up the leaked spring light.

A Xiao Huangmen knelt down on the ground and bowed respectfully to the He family and said, "Qi, Changshi Zhang and Changshi Zhao have something important to ask to see the goddess."

Mrs He frowned. She had a pretty good relationship with the ten permanent servants. She didn't yell at the ten permanent servants like He Jin, so it was natural to hear that the ten permanent servants were asking to see him. curious.

He waved his hand and said, "Let's invite some of the regular attendants to come in. I want to see if they can come to see this palace at this time."

Soon they saw Zhang Rang and Zhao Zhong stumbling into the bedroom looking like they were lost. When they saw Empress He, they immediately bowed down in front of Empress He and said to Empress He: "My lady, help me, my lady. what!"

Mrs He was taken aback by Zhang Rang and Zhao Zhong's actions. How did Mrs He don't understand Zhang Rang and Zhao Zhong? Given how favored they were by the emperor's side, sometimes even she could Don't dare to neglect these people too much, but when did Zhang Rang and Zhao Zhong become so embarrassed.

It wouldn't be that Zhang Rang and the others angered the emperor, but with her understanding of the emperor, even if the emperor was angry, it wouldn't scare Zhang Rang and Mr. Zhao into such a state.

Looking at Zhang Rang and Zhao Zhong, Empress He frowned slightly and said, "Why are you so panicked?"

Zhang Rang said with a look of panic: "The big thing is not good, madam, Your Majesty... Your Majesty, he has returned to heaven..."

With a snap, the tea cup in He's hand fell to the ground and shattered. Empress He exclaimed as if she had heard something incredible: "This... how is this possible, His Majesty's body is not always Are you all right?"

Although it has long been known that Liu Hong's body is terminally ill, but with the power of the Han court, it is really not difficult to extend Liu Hong's life span for a year or two.

Not to mention Empress He, I am afraid that anyone who suddenly hears the news of Liu Hongguitian will think like Empress He.

Empress He let out a sigh of relief and calmed herself down. She stared at Zhang Rang and Zhao Zhong and said solemnly, "What the hell is going on, please explain to me in detail."

Empress He is obviously not a fool. Liu Hong suddenly returned to the sky without any signs. It would be a strange thing to say that there is nothing strange in this.

Zhang Rang had a sad face, glanced at Empress He secretly, gritted his teeth and said: "The empress does not know anything, the general is like today, talking about Prince Bian with His Majesty, the general hopes that His Majesty can establish Prince Bian as the crown prince as soon as possible. , As a result, His Majesty vomited blood and fell into a coma. After His Majesty returned to the palace, after being conditioned by the imperial physician, he woke up and turned around. Later, His Majesty wanted to be alone, so the slaves and servants left the palace, but waited until we went to visit. When His Majesty was there, he found out that His Majesty has been...has been poisoned by someone!"

The shocked look on He's face didn't seem to be pretending at all, and it also made Zhang Rang and Zhao Zhong secretly relieved. If the queen was involved in the poisoning of the emperor, then they would only be afraid today. There really is only one dead end.

Fortunately, the empress was obviously unaware, which means that the poisoning of the emperor was done by the general He Jin alone, so they had some hope of survival.

Empress He's complexion was fluctuating, and she was obviously stunned by the news that Zhang Rang said. She never thought that Liu Hong was actually poisoned by her brother.

Although Empress He learned that Liu Hong was dead, the first thought in her heart was incomparable excitement, because only when Liu Hong died, her emperor could become the new emperor, and she could also become the new queen mother.

But for some unknown reason, Queen He felt inexplicable anxiety and fear when she thought that her brother had poisoned the emperor.

Zhang Rang, Zhao Zhong and other characters, they can gain Liu Hong's trust not only by stalking the horse, if they can't grasp the emperor's mind, how can they make the emperor rely so heavily.

Seeing the reaction of Queen He's expression in their eyes, Zhang Rang and several people could roughly guess the Queen's thoughts at this moment.

Looking at each other, I heard Zhao Zhong speak to Empress He: "Miss, it's not the slaves and other slanderous generals, the general's move is too shocking, even the emperor dares to kill, there is no guarantee that he will not. Recreate what happened to Wang Mang in the past!"

The fact that Wang Mang usurped the Han Dynasty can be said that almost everyone in the huge Han Dynasty knew about it. Even Wang Mang's head was hidden in the palace as a warning. He naturally knew how Wang Mang usurped the throne.

Thinking of his brother's current position of power, it can be said that there is no way to advance. Once his emperor is still young, once he ascends the throne, it is conceivable that the military and political power above the court will inevitably be in the hands of his brother.

If it is said that his brother is like Huo Guang assisting the emperor, that's all, but once his brother wants to do that Wang Mang's thing

Thinking of this, He Shi's face showed a look of horror.
