Chapter 42: Inside and Outside the Palace
He Jin was still yelling, his face covered with layers of flesh, looking more ferocious than ever.
The guards didn't care. They took the rope, tied him up like a dumpling, and made him kneel in the pavilion.
Yuan Wei remained expressionless, staring at Liu Bian quietly, feeling extremely alert and uneasy.
He Jin, logically speaking, should have been like all the previous emperor's uncles-in-law, holding sway over the government for decades, with the emperor cowering and officials giving in, and no one able to challenge him.
He Jin, you were defeated so quickly!
The scheming and tactics of this young emperor were beyond the imagination of the fool He Jin and exceeded his expectations!
He Jin roared for a while, his forehead was covered with sweat, he was panting heavily, his eyes were red, and his expression was extremely ferocious. He turned to Liu Bian and shouted angrily: "Liu Bian!"
Liu Bian stood there, looking down at him, and said, "You must ask why, then I will tell you: I don't want to be an emperor of comfort!"
He Jin was stunned, opened his mouth, and stared at Liu Bian, unable to utter a word for a moment.
Seeing that he stopped talking, Liu Bian sat back, picked up the teacup and took a sip.
What happened today was a bit sudden, and he is still thinking about how to deal with it.
With the eunuch party and relatives of the emperor being eliminated one after another, there will definitely be severe turmoil in the court and the country. Someone needs to stand up to support the court and stabilize the situation.
He glanced at Yuan Wei.
The Yuan family plays a very important role in the current political situation.
"Aristocratic family..."
Liu Bian whispered to himself, this was probably his biggest enemy right now.
This enemy has deep roots, intertwined and intertwined, covering the sky and the sun, and is boundless, infiltrating every pore of the Han Dynasty.
"Bian'er, no, Your Majesty, I..." He Jin was absent-minded for a while, and suddenly looked up at Liu Bian, as if he wanted to say something.
Liu Bian glanced at him, ignored him, turned around and walked out, saying: "Mr. Yuan, follow me."
Yuan Wei stood up with the help of crutches and followed Liu Bian.
He turned his head to look outside the palace, and saw that torches had lit up half the sky outside the palace since he didn't know when, and there were faint sounds of dense footsteps running everywhere.
'The world has changed...' Yuan Wei thought silently, his expression unconsciously tense.
In the Guardian Hall not far away.
The three ministers Ding Gong, Liu Hong, Liu Yu, the recorder of the Secretariat Wang Yun, the Grand Secretary Yang Biao, and the Inspector of the Capital Yuan Shu had been waiting for a long time.
There were several eunuchs staring at them in front of them, and behind them were many guards.
Invisibly, there was a solemn and murderous aura flowing in the hall.
Ding Gong, Liu Hong and others looked at each other quietly, with confusion and uneasiness in their eyes.
Wang Yun and Yang Biao remained kneeling and silent.
Only Yuan Shu clenched his fists, his expression was painful, and he felt uncomfortable and angry.
His father Yuan Feng passed away, and not only did he endure the pain to help He Jin stabilize the situation, but he was also called into the palace and left alone for so long!
They also heard the noise outside the palace, but no one knew what was happening. They could only suppress their anxiety and continue waiting.
Outside the palace, Huangfu Song's army shuttled back and forth like a fire dragon, controlled all the palace gates of Luoyang City, replaced the original Yulin Army, and then went straight to the Yulin Army camp.
Yulin Army Camp.
A tall man who looked like a servant appeared at the gate and shouted, "Ye Zhou, Peng Ye!"
The Yulin Army had received He Jin's order and had been on alert. Seeing the man who suddenly appeared, they were naturally more vigilant. Several soldiers came out and said in a cold voice: "Did you call out our Zuo Jian's name?"
The servant took out a military token and said loudly, "The Lieutenant of the Imperial Guard has issued an order for you to go to Yuan's mansion immediately!"
The leading soldier was startled, stepped forward to check, and turned back to say: "The military token is real. This military token is carried by the Lieutenant General and never leaves his body."
A soldier inside passed the message quickly. Soon, the Left Supervisor of the Imperial Guards, Ye Zhou, and the Right Supervisor of the Imperial Guards, Peng Ye, came out. After verifying the military token, they said, "Lead the way."
The servant collected the military token and left with the two men.
After walking for a while, Ye Zhou realized something was wrong. He stared at the servant in front of him coldly and said, "This is not the way to Yuan's house!"
"It's indeed not." At this time, Zuo Li slowly walked out from the corner behind them and said with a chuckle.
Immediately, dozens of plainclothes guards appeared in front and behind Ye Zhou and his companions and surrounded them.
Ye Zhou was not panicked, and said in a deep voice: "Who are you? How do you have the military token of the Zhonglang General!"
Zuo Li was calm and said, "He went to a place where he can hand over the military token. Capture them, I want them alive!"
"You killed the Zhonglang General!"
Ye Zhou and Peng Ye were horrified, they quickly drew their swords, rushed forward, and wanted to kill them.
Two fists are no match for four hands, and they were soon pinned down, gagged, and taken away in a hurry.
The two of them struggled and when they turned around, they saw the Yulin Army camp surrounded by torches and there seemed to be loud shouting coming from it.
The two were extremely terrified, screaming and struggling violently.
Zuo Li ignored them and took the two of them straight to a house he had just found.
The Yulin Army camp had been surrounded by Huangfu Song's troops. A cavalryman galloped and shouted, "According to the order, we are taking over the Yulin Army. No one is allowed to move without permission. Anyone who disobeys the order will be executed!"
Before the Yulin Army had time to react, a team of cavalry rushed into the gate and forcibly separated the Yulin Army.
Huangfu Song was riding on his horse, his eyes were cold and his dark face was iron-colored.
"General, the Yulin Army is disobeying orders!" a military commander came to report.
"kill!"
Huangfu Song said succinctly, "Anyone who disobeys orders will be killed!"
"Yes!"
The army led by Huangfu Song almost one-sidedly pushed against the Yulin Army, forcing most of them to lay down their weapons and accept reorganization.
More than 10,000 soldiers entered the city, causing chaos and shaking the entire Luoyang city.
First there was a palace coup, then the Inspector of the Capital went on a killing spree, and now foreign troops have entered the capital. The people of Luoyang City are terrified and close their doors tightly, not a single one showing up.
With such a big commotion, Empress Dowager He was naturally alarmed.
She didn't know what had happened, and hurriedly found Liu Bian behind the Jiade Hall.
"Bian'er, what's going on?" Mrs. He came to Liu Bian in a panic with her hair loose, without having time to wash or comb her hair.
Liu Bian looked at Empress Dowager He, glanced at Yuan Wei behind him, and said, "Mother, this matter will be explained to you by Yuan Qing's family. The three dukes and other nobles are still waiting for me..."
Empress Dowager He grabbed Liu Bian and said urgently, "What's going on? Tell me clearly!"
After she was awakened, she felt flustered and confused. On the way here, some strange looks made her feel that something was wrong.
Liu Bian groaned for a moment and said directly: "Mother, if there is a conflict between me and my uncle, which side will you stand on?"
Empress Dowager He stared at Liu Bian blankly. She was frightened by his words.
"You won't kill your uncle, will you?" Empress Dowager He suddenly woke up and grabbed Liu Bian tightly with both hands.
Seeing her attitude, Liu Bian felt relieved and said with a smile, "Your Majesty, you are worrying too much. He is fine. Someone, take your Majesty to see the general."
When Empress Dowager He heard Liu Bian say this, her expression eased a little. She looked at Liu Bian, moved her lips, and seemed to be hesitant to speak.
She had vaguely guessed that there would be a conflict between his brother and son, but she didn't expect it to come so suddenly.
"Then, go and get busy." Empress Dowager He gently released her hand that was holding Liu Bian's arm, her face dejected, and she slowly turned around.
Liu Bian looked at her back and felt relieved.
'fine.'
Fortunately, this queen mother did not force it. If it were the powerful queen mothers in the past of the Han Dynasty, he would have had a headache.
"Your Majesty! The general of the chariot and cavalry is coming."
A eunuch came running over and handed over a note.
When Liu Bian heard that it was Huangfu Song who came back, he snatched it away and saw only six words on it: Dong Zhuo stationed troops in Hedong.
Add more.
The General is finished: please collect, recommend, and vote for the monthly ticket~
