158. The situation in Luoyang!
now!
Luoyang, the entire city fell into white. Emperor Ling died. All the people and officials in the city were wearing white clothes. This was a New Year. It should be a festive festival, but because of the emperor's death, no singing and dancing are allowed, and there are no happy programs. (Because of Liu Zhe's appearance and butterfly effect, Emperor Ling died earlier than in history.)
The sudden death of Emperor Ling also put the court in an extremely chaotic situation. What people are most concerned about now is whether Emperor Ling has issued an imperial edict and decided to be the heir?
The eldest prince Liu Bian, whose biological mother is Empress He, and his uncle He Jin is a general of the court. He holds the power of the world and is also the eldest son, so he should inherit the throne.
However, Emperor Ling did not like the eldest prince during his lifetime, but instead liked the second prince Liu Xie. Liu Xie's biological mother was a concubine, the beauty of the prince, but she was poisoned to death by the jealous Empress He. Liu Xie was raised by Emperor Ling's biological mother, Empress Dowager Dong. Empress Dowager Dong repeatedly suggested that Emperor Ling make Liu Xie the crown prince, but Emperor Ling has never enthroned him!
Now, once Liu Xie becomes emperor, Empress He will inevitably lose her life.
These days, Luoyang is shrouded in an extremely tense atmosphere, with the night of bans and the imperial guards patrols constantly.
The General's Mansion is also a guard these days.
He Jin was originally a meat-selling butcher, but because his sister was beautiful, he was able to enter the palace to become the queen. He also rose to prominence and became a general above ten thousand people, holding the power of troops.
But now the powerful general was striding back and forth in the hall, with a bunch of confidants sitting below.
When Emperor Ling died, He Jin and others wanted to know who Ling Emperor had appointed as the crown prince and who ascended the throne in the future. It is naturally the best to establish Liu Bian, but if Liu Xie was established, He Jin would be in trouble.
His sister Empress He poisoned Liu Xie's biological mother Wang Meiren to death. The revenge of killing her mother was irreconcilable. Once Liu Xie became the emperor, not only Empress He would die, but even He Jin and the whole He family would be likely to die.
"Where are people? Where are people? Why haven't people come back yet?" He Jin was anxious, and finally couldn't help it. He yelled angrily: "Why haven't you heard about it after so long? I have been raising such a bunch of waste in vain."
He Jin was a butcher. Even if he was in a high position, he could not change his rude personality. He said that he was useless and said something like waste and garbage, which made the people below look bad.
After Emperor Ling passed away, He Jin sent someone to the palace to inquire about the news, and sent someone to contact his sister, and even let his subordinates gather and prepare.
However, most of the day passed, and the person sent to inquire about the news had not come back, which made He Jin very anxious.
"Report!" The person who went to inquire about the news finally came back.
"How is it? Did the emperor issue an imperial edict and who is designated as the crown prince?" The spy came back, and before he could salute, He Jin grabbed his clothes and asked in a hurry.
"Reported to the general, the emperor did not issue an imperial edict." The spy replied.
"That's great." He Jin breathed a sigh of relief. The emperor did not issue an imperial edict. According to convention, Liu Bian, who was the eldest son, was naturally the one who ascended the throne.
"General, the ten eunuchs are plotting to forge an imperial edict to make the second prince the crown prince and ascend the throne today." However, the spy's second sentence changed He Jin's face.
"What did you say?"
"Report, General, Sima Pan Yin asks for a meeting." Someone came in to report.
"Please quickly."
Pan Yin is Sima of Jian Shuo, the commander of the Shangjun Academy of Xiyuan, and is very close friends with He Jin. When you come here at this time, there must be important things.
When Pan Yin saw He Jin, he ignored the etiquette and said directly: "General, the commander of the military school wants to collude with the palace. He first eliminated the general and then made the second prince the emperor."
"What? The eunuch is hateful." He Jin was shocked and angry when he heard this information.
"Report that the imperial court has an imperial edict to ask the general to enter the palace to discuss the affairs of the first queen."
Pan Yin quickly persuaded: "The general should not go, this is a conspiracy."
At this time, Cao Cao stood up and suggested: "General, now we have to take the initiative. Let's go to the palace first and make a new king immediately, and settle accounts with the eunuchs in the future."
He Jin nodded, looked at his subordinates and said angrily: "The eunuch bullies me and has no one? Who dares to lead troops to protect us to the palace?"
"General, I'm willing to go." Yuan Shao stood up.
"Very good, I am worthy of being the descendant of the famous family." He Jin was pleased and ordered Yuan Shao to lead troops to protect him. He Jin sent someone to invite all the ministers in the court to enter the palace together.
Not to mention, under He Jin's iron-blooded suppression, in front of the coffin of Emperor Ling, He Jin directly supported his nephew Liu Bian as the emperor, and all officials bowed to him and recognized the new emperor.
Seeing that the general situation was settled, He Jin asked someone to look for Jian Shuo. Soon after, someone presented Jian Shuo's head. Pan Yin and Jian Shuo's troops joined in to serve He Jin.
He Jin planned to kill all the people and asked his subordinates: "Where are the Ten General Assistants Zhang Rang and others?"
"Go to the Queen."
"Report, the Queen summoned the General."
He Jin was in high spirits at this moment, wearing a strong armor.
Although Empress He is over 30 years old, her charm remains unabashed and she is still beautiful and charming. She looked at He Jin and said, "Brother, you and I were originally from a lowly family. Zhang Rang and others have come to admit their mistakes to me and are willing to focus on me in the future. Brother, why not let them go?"
