He Jin broke out in a cold sweat!
He quickly knelt on the ground, cupped his fists towards Liu Hong and said:
“The humble minister is guilty, and I ask your Majesty to punish him.
Liu Hong mocked:”What’s the crime?””
“You are the head of the military generals, and Yuan Taifu is the head of the civil servants. Daily communication is naturally indispensable.”
“But do you know why I, the Emperor of Han Dynasty, like to look for queens from among the people?”
“this……”
He Jin was speechless.
He wanted to say, isn’t it because his girl is beautiful?
But then I thought about it, if that was really the case, why would Liu Hong bother to ask this question?
Looking at He Jin’s huge body and his somewhat clever but not very wise head, Liu Hong sighed:
“Let’s take a look, who does your general He’s power come from?”
He Jin kowtowed, looked down at the ground and said:
“Everything is given by His Majesty.
Liu Hong said again:”Then if I die, what will happen to you?” He
Jin quickly expressed his loyalty:”Your Majesty has been prosperous for thousands of years, how can he say that he will die?” Before he finished speaking
, Liu Hong said angrily:
“Until now, the general is still unwilling to tell the truth?”
He Jin was frightened and kowtowed repeatedly.
Liu Hong looked helpless. If there was no one to help him, why would he entrust the great cause of the country to a butcher?
At this moment, Liu Hong longed for a strong relative to stand up and support Xin. Emperor!
Don’t think that the dictatorship of foreign relatives is a situation that the emperor of the Han Dynasty did not expect.
During the Han Dynasty, the number of dictatorships of foreign relatives was as high as eight times!
Eight times, what is this concept?
Even if the emperor is a fool, he should be alert. Right?
What’s more, there is the example of Wang Mang.
But why did the emperor still never tire of promoting his relatives and continuously providing them with power?
One of the reasons is that many emperors of the Han Dynasty lived short lives.
The famous”Eastern Han Dynasty Kindergarten”, It also includes a dozen little emperors who died when they were no more than ten years old.
Except for these members of the”Eastern Han Kindergarten”, most of the other emperors did not necessarily live long. (Only a few of the more famous emperors lived a relatively long life. Yes.)
For another example, Liu Hong was only sixteen years old when he succeeded to the throne.
It was normal for the young emperor to be suspicious of his country.
Under such circumstances, the old emperor needed a trustworthy helper to assist the younger emperor.
Even this helper would have ambitions. , will also try dictatorship.
But after all, it is difficult for this helper to really take away the imperial power.
Relatives born among the people are the helpers the old emperor is looking for.
In the court, they do not have much political energy, and aristocratic families cannot really absorb them.
Therefore, when the old emperor was alive, they were the knives in the hands of the old emperor!
After the old emperor died, they would become the protective umbrella of the new emperor.
Even if this umbrella is a bit prickly, it can effectively block foreign enemies. Although there are many examples of dictatorship by foreign relatives.
But in the final analysis, except for the unique Wang Mang, the remaining relatives, without exception, had their original powers taken back after the new emperor came of age.
The same was true for the eunuchs.
Both of them were extensions of imperial power.
Therefore, according to the emperor’s vision, relatives and eunuchs should join forces in the court to help the emperor check and balance the aristocratic family!
But… look at the current Han Dynasty court.
Yuan Wei ostensibly surrendered to He Jin and recognized He Jin as the boss, so He Jin In private
, he kept instigating conflicts between He Jin and Shi Changshi.
What was supposed to be a situation where the relatives and eunuchs joined forces to fight against the aristocratic family, turned out to be a situation where the relatives and the aristocratic family joined forces to fight against the eunuchs!
If He Jin was a wise person, he should have Yuan Wei was careful not to lose his power.
However, He Jin was complacent.
He thought that Yuan Wei and others were also suppressed by his”tiger power”!
Liu Hongxin was very tired.
It’s not that he had never thought of supporting other eunuchs and Powers other than relatives.
Liu Yan, the governor of Yizhou, Liu Yu, the governor of Youzhou, Liu Dai, the governor of Yanzhou, plus Liu Biao and Liu Yao who have not yet been sealed off. There are five major clans in total, and their power cannot be underestimated.
The result?
Liu Yangang When I arrived in Yizhou, my butt was still warm, so I told Liu Hong,”The rice thieves are causing trouble, I will protect Yizhou!””
OK, bye bye to Liu Hong, I, Liu Yan, are ready to separate and stand on his own!
At this moment, Liu Hong has no other trump card to play.
His lifespan has been exhausted. He can only place his hope on He Jin. Hope He didn’t want to be played to death by Yuan Wei.
But with He Jin’s behavior, Liu Hong was so angry that he wanted to kick him to death!
Suddenly,
Liu Hong seemed to feel something in his heart, his hands slowly dropped, his eyes full of regret.
Until After Liu Hong died, He Jin stood up from the ground.
The dismay between his brows could no longer be concealed!
……
In the spring of the sixth year of Zhongping, in March 189 AD, Liu Hong died.
After his death, Yuan Wei and others proposed to give him a posthumous title with the character”Ling”.
To this, Shi Changshi strongly opposed it.
He Jin hesitated, and finally stood up to support Yuan Wei and others, and decided on Liu Hong’s posthumous title.
Naturally, the news of Liu Hong’s death could not be concealed from all parties.
For example, Dong Zhuo received a secret letter from Yuan Wei the day after Liu Hong died.
