The small yellow gate led Liu Bian forward. Liu Bian quietly paid attention and entered Lecheng Gate first, then Wende Hall, all the way north, and finally arrived at Jingfu Hall.
Liu Bian entered the door, found a suitable place and sat down. He pulled off his uncomfortable clothes, his face was sullen, and he tried his best to stay calm, trying to find a countermeasure.
He had a general understanding of the current situation, which was that Emperor Ling died, the eunuchs dueled with their relatives, and now the general He Jin proclaimed him emperor. The story behind this is that He Jin led his troops into the palace, and the two parties fought fiercely. .
"We can't let them fight!"
Liu Bian blurted out. When these two parties are fighting, he is the unlucky one!
Eunuch, He Jin, Dong Zhuo... His life cannot be decided by others!
Xiao Huangmen, who was two steps away, was startled, then quietly stepped forward and said softly: "Your Majesty?"
Liu Bian looked up at him, quickly changed his mind, and said calmly: "Whose are you?"
Xiao Huangmen, who had a sallow complexion, lowered his head and said, "Your Majesty, I am Jian Chang's servant."
'Jian Shuo. '
Liu Bian nodded slightly. There are now twelve permanent attendants in the palace. These twelve people were highly favored when they were under the Ling Emperor. The Ling Emperor even called the leader Zhang Rang 'Rang's father'.
They not only controlled the palace, but also seriously interfered in political affairs. They had many conflicts with the civil servant group headed by their relatives, and the conflicts were constant and the struggle was fierce.
The chamberlains and maids in the palace basically belong to these twelve people. These twelve permanent attendants control everything in the palace. Jian Shuo even leads the eight captains of Xiyuan and controls the palace.
'Custodes! '
Liu Bian's heart moved. If he wanted to gain a foothold, he must first control the palace. If he wanted to control the palace, he must control the imperial army, that is, the soldiers and horses led by the Eighth School Lieutenant of Xiyuan!
Liu Bian's eyes narrowed slightly. If he remembered correctly, He Jin led troops into the palace to kill these eunuchs. The other eleven ministers were afraid, so they killed Jian Shuo as a scapegoat and survived.
'If I master Jian Shuo, can I control the Imperial Army? '
Liu Bian gradually had an idea in his mind. After considering it, he looked at the little Huangmen and said, "Then, where is Chang Shi Jian now..."
"Bian'er, Bian'er..."
Suddenly, an excited female voice rushed in accompanied by footsteps.
Liu Bian turned around, dressed in plain white clothes, elegant and graceful, with a happy face. A beautiful woman under forty rushed in, hugged Liu Bian, and said excitedly: "Bian'er, thanks to your uncle today, otherwise I would have Let that old woman Dong succeed! Now that you are the emperor, you don’t have to be afraid of anything. Your uncle and I will decide everything, so you can just be the emperor with peace of mind..."
Liu Bian felt a little uncomfortable being hugged, but he didn't dare to struggle. He already knew who the person was.
The mother in his body, the Queen of the Ling Emperor, the He family, the Queen He, should now be the Queen Mother He.
Liu Bian glanced at the woman, who was filled with joy from the corner of her eyes to the tip of her eyebrows. She didn't look like a stupid woman whose husband had died. He secretly cursed in his heart: If I listened to you, I would be counting my days of death on my fingers.
But Liu Bian could not get around this stepmother and the powerful uncle and general He Jin.
Liu Bian was thinking about these messy relationships and was about to speak when suddenly a small yellow door hurried in. He stumbled and fell to the ground. He got up again, knelt on the ground with fear on his face and said: "Your Majesty, Your Majesty, Rebellion, rebellion, led troops to fight in..."
Queen Mother He's face changed drastically, and soon she heard the killing cry. She ran over and said urgently: "What rebellion? Who rebelled?"
Liu Bian's heart skipped a beat: It's coming!
He didn't expect it to happen so soon. Just a few moments after he ascended the throne, He Jin couldn't wait to kill the twelve permanent servants!
"I don't know, I think he is the captain of Xiyuan School..." Xiao Huangmen trembled.
The Eight Captains of Xiyuan are led by Jian Shuo, the general and one of the twelve permanent attendants.
Queen Mother He panicked and said loudly: "It's the old woman who caused the trouble! Quick, quick, go find the general and ask him to lead troops into the palace to protect you!"
The little yellow door answered and ran out again rolling and crawling.
But Liu Bian knew very well that this was not a rebellion, but a conflict between the foreign relatives group headed by He Jin and the twelve permanent servants of the eunuch group!
Liu Bian knew that he could not let them go on like this. If history followed, his end would be to be blocked by Dong Zhuo!
After thinking about it, he looked stern: Take a gamble!
He glanced at the small yellow door that led him over and waved quietly.
Xiao Huangmen looked at the Queen Mother He who was as anxious as an ant on a hot pot, and bowed to Liu Bian's side.
Liu Bian turned his face sideways and whispered: "Go and tell Jian Shuo that Zhang Rang and others are going to use his head to pay for the crime of the general, and ask him to come to see me immediately. Only I can save him."
Xiao Huangmen looked surprised and wanted to ask, but Liu Bian had already turned his head expressionlessly.
Xiao Huangmen hesitated, and after a moment, slowly backed away.
"The Queen Mother, initially it was Jian Shuo who wanted to frame the general. The villain was wronged..."
Before Xiaohuangmen could retreat to the door, more than a dozen people led by Zhang Rang crowded in, arriving before anyone could make a sound.
Xiao Huangmen, who was already doubtful, immediately looked horrified. He looked at Liu Bian and suddenly turned around and ran away without any hesitation.
When Liu Bian saw him leaving, he felt a little relieved and looked at Zhang Rang and others.
Zhang Rang and others knelt down and cried, saying in unison: "My Lady, it was Jian Shuo who conspired with the Empress Dowager Dong to make Prince Xie the emperor, so he wants to kill the general. It has nothing to do with us. Please have mercy on us..."
Queen Mother He's eyes widened in anger, she was filled with hatred and panic, and said angrily: "The old woman has bullied me too much! Someone! Someone! Call the general to come to see me! Quick, call the general to come to see me! And! And, kill Kill Jian Shuo, quickly, kill Jian Shuo!"
Zhang Rang and others said: "Your Majesty, Your Majesty, we have sent people to kill, and there will be news soon. Please calm down, Your Majesty..."
Other regular attendants shouted: "Your Majesty, please calm down..."
Liu Bian watched with cold eyes, feeling nervous and uneasy. He turned a deaf ear to what Zhang Rang and others said.
The two major cronies are fighting each other. No matter who wins or loses, the powerless emperor will be the biggest loser!
The shouts of killing outside seem to be right in front of you, and they may rush in at any time.
Although the eight captains of Xiyuan belong to the commander-in-chief Jian Shuo, those eight captains, such as Yuan Shao, Cao Cao, Chun Yuqiong and others, also hate the eunuchs, but in fact they obey the orders of the general He Jin. Now only He Jin can stop this The second half of the scene "The Righteous King Eliminates the Thieves".
'Jian Shuo, please don't die...' Liu Bian thought silently in his heart.
While Zhang Rang and others were crying, Empress Dowager He was looking up, and Liu Bian was secretly anxious, Xiaohuangmen Pan Yin was running around, avoiding the rushing imperial army while snooping around to find Jian Shuo.
I don't know how long it took, but Pan Yin finally found Jian Shuo in a corner of Fanglin Garden.
Jian Shuo was a tall man with a face as sharp as iron, but at the moment his hair was disheveled and there were blood stains on his body, making him look quite embarrassed.
As soon as Pan Yin found him, he said urgently: "Chang Shi, come with me quickly, Your Majesty said he can save you!"
Jian Shuo hid behind the rockery, listening to the Imperial Guards shouting his name everywhere, with a gloomy look on his face, and said, "Your Majesty? Could it be the trap of the pig-killing thief?"
He Jin made a living by killing pigs in his early years. Because his sister entered the palace and was favored, he became the uncle of the state. He rose through the ranks and became a powerful general.
But this background has been ridiculed by many people.
Pan Yin glanced around and whispered: "I heard with my own ears that Zhang Rang and others wanted to use the heads of Chang Shi to appease the general's anger. They all cried in front of the Queen Mother, saying that they were all Chang Shi He is colluding with Empress Dowager Dong and wants to make Prince Xie the emperor, so he has nothing to do with them!"
