Chapter 196: The collapse of the Han emperor, the chaos will start (1)(1/2)
Chapter 196: Emperor Han collapses, chaos is about to arise (I)
September has entered and the temperature has dropped sharply.
In the past, the weather could be called cool and pleasant, but now it has made people feel a little chill.
Outside the Changle Palace Gate, from time to time, I saw a strong smell of medicine spreading in and out of the small yellow gate.
Empress Dong held Prince Xie, while Empress He held Prince Bing, with an expression of nervousness.
This was the ninth time that Emperor Han fainted after the autumn. In fact, in July, Emperor Han's body began to have small conditions in various ways. However, the imperial physician treated him in time and did not cause much noise. But this time, I heard that he suddenly fainted when I was watching the imperial garden. The imperial physician never went in at the time of the time, and now it was already the hour of You and he still didn't see him. It seemed that the situation was a bit serious, which made Empress Dong and Empress He feel nervous.
At the gate of Changle Palace, there is Jian Shuo, a military captain, who is protected by others and guarded strictly.
Empress He and Empress Dong asked to go in several times, but were rejected by Jian Shuo. These two women with the highest status in the Han Dynasty were unable to do anything about Jian Shuo. Both of them knew that only one person in the entire palace could command Jian Shuo.
Emperor Han!
If it weren't for the order of Emperor Han, how could Jian Shuo dare to be so tough?
Look at the sky, it's already dark.
Jian Shuo stepped forward and said, "Empress Dowager, Empress... It's already the time of the sky. You two have been waiting here for a long time. It's cold in the late autumn night. Don't let the two of His Highnesses suffer from the cold. Let's go back first. When there is news here, I will immediately spread it."
Empress He and Empress Dong looked at the two princes.
Prince Bian looked very strong because of regular exercise in the past two years.
Prince Xie was still young, and the coldness in the middle of the night made him feel quite unstoppable.
Empress Dong felt sorry for Prince Xie and nodded and agreed. When Empress He saw Empress Dong leave, she took Prince Bing back.
Seeing that both queens had left, Jian Shuo breathed a sigh of relief.
Standing worriedly outside the Changle Palace Gate, waiting for news from the Imperial Doctor.
The guardian of Changle Palace was the direct subordinate of the Xiyuan New Army that Jian Shuo trained over the past year. Jian Shuo had worked hard for this team. Not only were they equipped with the best weapons and armor of the Han Dynasty, but they even had the highest military salary. At the same time, in order to avoid this team being bribed by others, starting from the grassroots officers, he carefully selected them from the deep palace of the Great Nei, and believed that they were loyal and reliable little yellow sects.
In Jian Shuo's opinion, how could those scholars and officials come to buy the eunuch temple?
Pan Yin, the Sima of the Army, was Jian Shuo's fellow villager and was also trusted by Jian Shuo. Seeing Jian Shuo walking back and forth with restlessness, Pan Yin couldn't help but step forward and asked in a low voice: "Shuo Gong, the imperial doctor has been in for so long, is the emperor..."
"Don't talk nonsense. Ask what should be asked, and don't ask what should not be asked, as you save your life."
On weekdays, Jian Shuo was still quite polite to Pan Yin. But this time, he was harsh and scared Pan Yin so much that he didn't dare to speak.
It can be seen that Jian Shuo is indeed very worried.
"Mr. Shuo, the emperor invites you to come in."
Just when Jian Shuo was irritated, a small yellow gate sneaked over and whispered in Jian Shuo's ear.
Jian Shuo immediately tidied up his clothes, dusted his clothes, and took a deep breath.
The emperor must not see his weakness. Jian Shuo thought of this and pretended to be mighty, and walked into Changle Palace with great strides.
Emperor Han was lying on the dragon bed on his side, his eyes slightly closed and his face turned pale.
The imperial physician came up and whispered: "Mr. Shuo, the emperor is afraid that's..."
"How could this be?"
"The root of the emperor's illness should be left behind in Yongqiu last year. He was frightened at that time, and in the snow... Later, after recuperation, it delayed a little. Unexpectedly, the autumn was bleak and wild fire burned the dry mulberry, which caused the old disease."
Damn the scholastic...
Jian Shuo paused his feet resentfully, but woke up the Han emperor who was sleeping.
"Is it Jian Shuo?"
"I am here, does the emperor feel better?"
The Emperor of Han opened his eyes and saw Jian Shuo standing in front of the couch, and felt a warm feeling in his heart: "At this time, only Jian Shuo is with me."
As he spoke, he winked.
Jian Shuo understood it and immediately stood up and waved his hand, signaling all the palace maids and servants on both sides to retreat.
"Jian Shuo, I can't do it!"
The Han emperor said in a voice that only two people could hear: "I have decided to cooperate in inheriting the throne, and I will ask for your help."
Jian Shuo hurriedly said, "Your Majesty, don't say that. As long as you give me the order, I will never refuse."
"Kill the uncle of the country, kill the uncle for me... If the uncle does not die, I am afraid that the alliance will not be able to hold the throne. I have a decree here, and you can kill the uncle with this. If you cannot do anything, I will secretly order Dong Zhuo from Liangzhou to enter the capital. I have made arrangements... Unfortunately, my tiger and wolf general is not here, otherwise there will be no need to go through this trouble... Jian Shuo, I
Please."
Jian Shuo hesitated.
This kind of thing can be said to be very dangerous. If you don’t do it well, you will lose your bones.
No wonder the Emperor of Han was so urgent. According to his plan, Dong Qi formed the Hu Benlang and merged the North and South Gongwei. With the support of the cavalry general Dong Chong, he was enough to cut off He Jin's power. But his body...
Only soldiers can take risks!
Although the Emperor of Han trusted Zhang Rang and others, they were not very relieved.
The Ten Constables were too slippery and lacked the determination to kill the sword, so they were not enough to accomplish things. Cai Yong was a scholar and it was difficult for the people around him to take important tasks. Only Jian Shuo, although he was incomplete in his five bodies, was in charge of the army and was a very decisive person. The most important thing was that the Emperor of Han understood Jian Shuo. This was a very loyal person. As long as he agreed to this matter, great things could be accomplished.
His eyes were burning, and he stared at Jian Shuo.
Jian Shuo was filled with cold air on his back, and he knew in his heart that if he didn't agree, he would be killed immediately.
But I agreed, it was too dangerous...
After pondering for a while, Jian Shuo gritted his teeth and nodded, "Don't worry, I will definitely live up to the emperor's high expectations."
"I did not see the wrong person!"
The waxy face of Emperor Han showed a hint of relief.
"Don't worry, I have a proper way. While I am still there, you secretly ordered your troops to ambush in Changle Palace. I will order someone to pass on the edict and let He Jin come to see you. You take this opportunity to bring him... and then immediately take over his troops with Dong Chong."
This idea sounds good.
"I obey the order!"
Jian Shuo's answer this time was very straightforward, without any delay.
"Do you think it's better for anyone to pass the order?"
Jian Shuo pondered for a moment, "I recommend one person, Sima Pan Yin, the army's confidant, can take on this responsibility."
"Since that's the case, Xuan Panyin will meet you, and you can go down and arrange it."
"Here!"
Jian Shuo acted like a brave warrior and intervened to salute. The moment he walked out of the Changle Palace gate, the cold wind suddenly woke up.
He quickly calculated the benefits.
If this can be done, he will be a close minister of Prince Xie in the future. Zhang Rang? Get out of here. In the future, this deep palace in the inner palace will be the world of Jian Shuo. The more I think about it, I feel more proud and I can't help laughing. But then I realized that I was a little out of my composure. Jian Shuo quickly turned his face and followed the instructions of the Emperor of Han to arrange the killing of He Jin.
Pan Yin received the imperial edict and walked out of Changle Palace.
Seeing that the people around him were walking frequently, his heart suddenly skipped a beat.
Thinking of the weak look of Emperor Han just now, a little enlightenment came to his heart, but strangely it came to his mind.
Could it be that the emperor wants to kill Suigao?
This is a little secret from Pan Yin, and even Jian Shuo doesn't know it.
In the early years, Pan Yin was extremely depressed before he met Jian Shuo. Once he almost starved to death on the streets of Luoyang, but fortunately He Jin saved his life. He Jin had just entered Luoyang and looked at him disdainfully everywhere. On the surface, it seemed very honorable, but in fact... on that day, a down-and-out beggar and a down-and-out royal relative had strange intersections. When he woke up the next day, the royal relative disappeared, but left a bag of Wuzhu coins.
Later, Pan Yin entered the palace and met Jian Shuo.
By chance, I met He Jin again.
But at that time, He Jin could no longer recognize Pan Yin. But Pan Yin could not forget the guy who had saved him.
With his status getting higher and higher, Pan Yin seemed to have forgotten He Jin's existence.
But that feeling of gratitude is always hidden in my heart.
He was keenly aware that He Jin would be in danger. Pan Yin hesitated for a moment and finally made up his mind.
*******
It has passed the hour of Hai, and He Jin has not yet rested.
Sitting alone in the study, he had a long chat with his brother He Miao.
The topic naturally revolves around the questions of the Ten Eunuchs.
Over the past few days, Yuan Shao and others have proposed plans to eradicate the Ten General Staff several times, but He Jin has always been hesitant.
Yes, the Ten Eunuchs did threaten his rights.
But in fact, it is precisely because of the existence of the Ten Evangelions that scholars surround him.
He Jin needed these scholars to decorate his storefront. But he didn't know, if the eunuch temple was not there, would the scholars still follow him?
On this issue, he and He Miao started a fierce debate.
He Miao was very disdainful of He Jin's thoughts, "Since my brother knows why those scholars depend on you, why did he have to kill Zhang Rang and others? Could it be that my brother forgot that my sister had just entered the palace and without Zhang Rang and their help, how could she have the glory of you and me today? I think that you should be grateful and not be that kind of ungrateful villain."
He Jin frowned and was very unhappy with He Miao's words.
