Yongzhou, Chang'an.
Tens of thousands of cavalry poured into the city along the city gate of Chang'an.
These soldiers and horses were the soldiers and horses of Pingyang, the eastern capital, led by the Xiongnu Great Chanyu Liu Can.
After crossing the river from Puban, Liu Can led his army non-stop and appeared at the gate of Chang'an City in the shortest time.
At this time, people in Chang'an were already in a state of confusion.
The Jin armies of Qinzhou and Liangzhou had already reached the Anding County area. Although both sides had a mutual victory or defeat, the Jin army did not gain much advantage.
But after all, the main forces of the Xiongnu and Han Dynasty are in Guandong, and Chang'an's troops and horses are still seriously insufficient.
Otherwise, how could such an incompetent person like Sima Bao be allowed to stay in the spotlight for so long!
Therefore, as soon as the Xiongnu dan Yu Liu Can's troops and horses appeared, the Xiongnu generals and dignitaries in Chang'an City were greatly encouraged.
Although the Empress Dowager Shan did not allow the city gate to be opened to allow Liu Can to enter the city, the Hun general guarding the city gate still opened the door to allow Liu Can to enter the city.
"Great Chanyu, the city gates on all sides of Chang'an have been taken over by the generals!"
Jin Kang ran to Liu Can and said.
"Hahaha, okay, here's the order to the troops, no one is allowed to enter or leave without my order!"
The Great Dan Yu Liu Can was giving orders while looking greedily at the palace gate in front of him.
At this time, the palace gate had been opened, and the Huns troops inside and outside the palace had surrendered to Liu Can.
At this time, several Huns covered in blood will come out of the palace gate.
"Da Chanyu, everything inside and outside the palace gate has been tidied up. Please come in, Da Chanyu!"
A Hun general shouted back.
Obviously, there are still some people in Chang'an City who are ignorant of current affairs.
Liu Can didn't mind killing people, even the Huns, or even the Huns and Han clan.
"Where are the Queen Mother and Liu Yi?"
The Great Dan Yu Liu Can asked immediately.
At this time, the Xiongnu and Han Kingdom claimed to follow the system of Yanhan. In addition, the Empress Dowager Shan's natal family was very powerful. The Empress Dowager was not a simple decoration, but a person with her own troops and officials.
"Reporting to the Great Chanyu, the Empress Dowager is already in the Dongfeng Hall. The Empress Dowager, oh, Liu Yi is also in the Dongfeng Hall!"
The general immediately replied carefully.
"Enter the palace with me!"
After hearing this, Liu Can waved to the generals around him, and then rode towards the palace on horseback.
As soon as he entered the palace gate, he saw a group of soldiers escorting a dozen disheveled officials coming from the side.
"Who are those!?"
Liu Can immediately stopped the Hun soldiers.
"Reporting to the Great Chanyu, these are all subordinate officials in the emperor's palace!"
When Liu Can heard this, he immediately became interested.
His younger uncle, the emperor's brother Liu Yi, was the person Liu Can hated most, so the officials in the emperor's brother's house naturally disliked him.
"Bring it here!" Liu Can ordered loudly.
When these subordinate officials from the emperor's brother's palace were brought to Liu Can, these dozen or so people were all different from each other.
Some people's faces were full of panic, and when they saw the Great Chan Yu Liu Can, they immediately knelt down and begged for mercy.
And some people said nothing and just stood coldly.
Liu Can was in a good mood after hearing those guys begging for mercy.
"Da Chanyu, please spare my life. We are all entrusted by His Majesty to serve as officials under Liu Yi. Now that our fate belongs to Dai Chanyu, we are willing to go through fire and water for Dai Chanyu!"
Faced with these officials who were kowtowing and making trouble, Liu Can did not immediately forgive them.
He turned to look at the officials who refused to beg for mercy.
"You guys, why don't you apologize?" Liu Can scolded dissatisfied.
Facing these troops who led troops into the palace, one of the officials immediately refuted angrily.
"We were ordered by His Majesty to stay in Chang'an, and the Great Chanyu guarded the Eastern Capital. Now the Great Chanyu has led troops into the palace without an edict. But for the crime of treason, why are we asked to plead guilty!"
The official's beard bulged angrily.
"Your Majesty is seriously ill, so he ordered me to come to Chang'an to supervise the country. You don't act according to orders, but you still insist on making excuses!" Liu Can said angrily.
After entering Chang'an, Liu Can immediately ordered people to publicize the news that Emperor Liu Cong was seriously ill.
The purpose is to make the Xiongnu dignitaries in Chang'an choose to stand on their side.
After all, the emperor's younger brother Liu Yi trusted the Confucian scholars from Jin the most, and his mother, the Queen Mother Shan, had a powerful background.
The few subordinate officials who refused to give in heard this and continued to argue.
Liu Can, however, refused to waste any more time with them.
"Sneaky thief! I'll chop them all down!"
Liu Can waved his hand, and immediately several Hun soldiers came forward with their swords drawn. In a few seconds, their heads fell to the ground, and the road to the palace was stained with blood.
When the few remaining officials who begged for mercy saw this, they were so frightened that they almost peed their pants.
Liu Can glanced at them and then said.
"Now that you are all aware of your sins, I, oh, I will forgive you. Please get up."
"I'm just going to meet the empress dowager with me. I may need you to draft the documents to depose the empress dowager!"
Liu Can burst out laughing after saying this.
Later, Liu Can led a group of civil and military personnel to go straight to the Dongfeng Hall in the palace.
"Where is the Queen Mother!"
As soon as he entered the palace, Liu Can shouted loudly.
In fact, the Empress Dowager Shan was sitting in the main hall at this time.
"Da Chanyu, the Empress Dowager is here!" A Xiaohuangmen who had just surrendered said flatteringly.
Only then did Liu Can lower his eyes from above.
I saw sitting on the soft floor of the main hall, a beauty in gorgeous clothes, about 20 or 30 years old, with a handsome face and slightly frowning eyebrows. The fear and panic that could not be concealed made people couldn't help but wake up after seeing it. The desire to be held in my arms for protection.
Moreover, due to the turmoil in the palace, the Empress Dowager Shan's temples had already been slightly scattered, and a few strands of hair fell to the side, which greatly reduced the majesty of the Empress Dowager's crown, but added a bit more pure beauty. The taste of woman.
When Liu Can saw this scene, he was immediately stunned.
Regarding his 'grandmother', Liu Can had only met her a few times when she was still young. When she grew up, she often led troops outside, so she had no memory of her.
When he originally knew that his old father Liu Cong was having an affair with the Empress Dowager Shan, he was still very disdainful.
At that time, Liu Can felt that Emperor Liu Cong was simply a fool, but he actually liked an old woman!
There are so many beauties waiting in their youth, but they want a Shan family.
However, now that Liu Can saw Shan, he immediately understood what his father had done.
Incredibly beautiful!
"The Great Chanyu is not in Pingyang, but he leads his troops to break into the palace without authorization. Is he planning to rebel?"
Just when Liu Can was drooling at the sight, Empress Dowager Shan pretended to be calm and spoke.
Liu Can came to his senses at this time and curled his lips disdainfully.
"His Majesty is suffering from an emergency in Luoyang. I'm afraid it's more likely to be a disaster than a good one. The Imperial Han Dynasty can't live without a king for a day, so it's natural that I need to come to Chang'an to take charge!"
Liu Can said as he slowly walked forward.
As he walked closer, Liu Can could smell the feminine fragrance of Empress Dowager Shan.
That kind of vague fragrance soon aroused Liu Can's love.
Before he met the Empress Dowager Shan, he wanted to kill the emperor's brother Liu Yi in the name of the Empress Dowager Shan, and then wait until he ascended the throne to find an opportunity to kill Shan.
However, Liu Can has now changed his mind.
Liu Can thinks this Empress Dowager Shan is of great use!
"The crown prince of the state needs to do something more!" Empress Dowager Shan was already extremely panicked when she saw Liu Can slowly approaching.
If there weren't many other generals and officials in the palace, Shan would definitely think that Liu Can was going to do something outrageous.
"Crown Prince?"
As soon as Liu Can heard this, he immediately calmed down a bit.
The current crown prince of the Huns and Han Kingdom is the emperor's younger brother Liu Yi. Even if Liu Can wants to become the emperor himself, he must first depose the emperor's younger brother Liu Yi before he can succeed him.
"Come here, pick up the paper and ink for the Empress Dowager!" Liu Can said loudly.
"What else are you doing with paper and ink!?" Empress Dowager Shan asked immediately.
"What to do? Naturally, I want to ask the Empress Dowager to tell the world that the Emperor's brother Liu Yi has lost his virtue and is no longer suitable to be the crown prince. He should be deposed as a commoner and imprisoned in Qiuyuan for the time being." Liu Can said proudly.
After Shan heard this, his pretty face immediately turned pale.
Although many people in the entire Xiongnu Han Kingdom studied Confucian classics, except for Liu Yuan, Liu Cong and his son, the rest of them only learned some superficial knowledge, and their behavior was still the brutal and inhumane tradition of the Xiongnu.
If his son Liu Yi is deposed, the final outcome will definitely be death.
The so-called imprisonment palace is just a strategy to delay time and distract everyone's attention.
"Although your Majesty is seriously ill, you must have God's blessing. When your Majesty recovers in the future, won't King Jin be afraid of your majesty's actions at this time?" Empress Dowager Shan showed her final toughness.
After hearing what Empress Dowager Shan said, Shan Yu Liu Can had no reaction, but some generals and officials next to him became slightly commotion.
Because what Empress Dowager Shan said makes sense.
Emperor Liu Cong is seriously ill now, but he is not dead. If he recovers to full health in the future, they will be in trouble.
"Hahaha, His Majesty has been in a coma in Luoyang for several days. How can he get better? If he wasn't worried about national affairs, how could he be so impatient!"
After everyone saw the great Dan Yu Liu Can's unconcealable happy look, they all despised him in their hearts.
This is really a vivid expression of ruthlessness, disloyalty and unfilial piety.
"No need to say anything! Come, hurry up and draft an edict for the Empress Dowager!" Liu Can, the Great Dan Yu, ordered impatiently.
Soon, the two East Palace subordinate officials who had just kowtowed and begged for mercy and life immediately stepped forward and started drafting the edict.
However, the Empress Dowager's seal was firmly hidden in Shan's arms.
After the edict was written and the seal needed to be sealed, the Empress Dowager Shan naturally refused to hand it over.
Several former East Palace officials came forward to persuade him, but they were all spat on by Empress Dowager Shan.
With such a fierce empress dowager, several officials in the East Palace were completely defeated.
Several little Huangmen servants were kicked left and right by Shan and rushed to the side.
"waste!"
When Liu Can saw this, he couldn't help being furious.
"Queen Mother, let go!"
He immediately stepped forward in person and threw his big hands into Shan's arms to snatch the seal.
Facing the struggling Empress Dowager Shan, Liu Can touched it with both hands without hesitation. The soft and fragrant softness he received made Liu Can forget about the imperial edict.
At this moment, Jin Kang, who was already a close general of the Great Danyu Liu Can, hurried in.
"Da Shanyu, urgent report!"
As soon as Jin Kang entered the door, he saw Liu Canzheng, the great Dan, entangled with the Empress Dowager Shan on the couch.
He was immediately shocked, thinking that Liu Can, who had always been dissolute, was showing off his bestiality.
However, the generals and officials in the palace showed that this was not the case.
"What's the matter!"
Liu Can, the eldest brother, let go of his hand with a smirk on his face, and turned around to ask Jin Kang.
"Great Chanyu, uncle of the last general, urgent report from Luoyang!"
Jin Kang spoke loudly, but his tone suddenly turned sad, and he even squeezed out a tear or two with a grimace.
"His Majesty has passed away!"
"ah!"
Everyone in the hall exclaimed, some were truly surprised, and some were relieved.
"Really?" Liu Can asked, suppressing the joy in his heart.
"It's absolutely true. There are some traitors in Luoyang who are trying to keep the funeral a secret and have evil intentions. My uncle, the last general, asked the Great Chanyu to kill decisively and succeed to the throne as soon as possible to put an end to the traitors' delusions!" Jin Kang shouted loudly! said.
"Yes, yes! You must be decisive!" Liu Can couldn't help but agree.
At this time, the Empress Dowager Shan had completely given up her struggle after hearing the news of Emperor Liu Cong's death.
Now that Liu Cong is dead, Liu Can will definitely seize power and the throne without any scruples. The emperor's brother Liu Yi who stands in the way must be eliminated.
"Queen Mother, if you don't hand over the seal quickly, are you going to resist the destiny?"
Liu Can looked at Empress Dowager Shan with a proud expression.
Now he really felt that his destiny was his. First, the emperor was inexplicably seriously injured, and then he easily went straight to Chang'an.
Now comes the news that the emperor has died directly. It can be said that destiny pushed him to the highest position!
"I am just a woman, how can I dare to resist destiny!"
The Empress Dowager Shan suddenly changed her face. She didn't look as fierce as before, but instead looked frail and pitiful.
In fact, Liu Can even saw a hint of charm in Shan's eyes as he glanced at him.
"hiss!"
Liu Can, who was in his weak years, was at the peak of his youth. With just one look, he immediately gave up his persistence.
"Then what does the Empress Dowager want to do?" Liu Can's tone even softened.
"Da Dan is your Majesty's eldest son. He has inherited the throne in accordance with the destiny and people's will. Naturally, I dare not resist. However, the emperor's younger brother Liu Yi is only fourteen years old now. He is still a child. Why should I invite Da Dan?" For the sake of my pity, please don’t kill Liu Yi!"
The Empress Dowager Shan began to cry and beg for mercy, while kowtowing to the ground without her crown.
