Yuan Shao didn't have the courage to rebel yet, so he hesitated and said: "I accept the order."
He was unwilling to do so, but he could not stand up to the new Majesty.
Liu Bian smelled the smell of blood in the air and looked at the corpses around him, his heart beating like a drum. He had never imagined such a scene.
He bit the bullet and said coldly: "Everyone, come with me."
Jian Shuo felt a little relieved and was wary of Yuan Shao. He led the guard in front of Liu Bian and went straight to Deyang Palace.
Queen Mother He walked beside Liu Bian and wanted to grab his arm several times, but she didn't dare. She felt that her son was very different today. This courage really surprised her.
Liu Bian seemed expressionless, but in fact his heart was in his throat. Without looking away, he walked towards Deyang Palace under the leadership of Jian Shuo.
Along the way, there were corpses everywhere, including eunuchs, palace maids, and imperial guards. There were also many people hiding in the room, who did not dare to show their heads when they saw Liu Bian and his group.
After just such a journey, Liu Bian could guess that at least half of the people in this palace would be missing.
As the eight captains of the Imperial Guard, most of them suffered heavy losses when they killed each other.
Liu Bian had a sullen face, frowned, and didn't speak much. He was constantly thinking about how to deal with He Jin and the ministers later.
A group of people came to the Deyang Palace. He Jin, Situ Dinggong of the Three Dukes, Sikong Liu Hong, Taiwei Liu Yu, Shangshu Wang Yun, Yilang Cai Yong, etc. were all there.
Seeing Jian Shuo guarding Liu Bian, Queen Mother He, plus Zhang Rang and others coming in from the side door, everyone had different expressions. They also caught a glimpse of Yuan Shao behind them, and they couldn't help but look at each other with confusion in their hearts.
He Jin held the handle of the knife with his right hand, his face was fierce, and his eyes were full of murderous intent. He strode forward and said: "The Queen Mother, today the righteous king is rid of the thief, let me kill this Jian Shuo!"
The others did not move, their hearts tense like strings, extremely nervous.
Today's 'righteous king eliminates thieves' is actually a palace coup. How it will evolve and who will win is hard to say!
Liu Bian watched He Jin approaching, his scalp was numb, his face was cold, and he said solemnly: "The general led his troops into the forbidden palace without getting the order. What is his intention?"
As soon as this big hat was buckled, the expressions of everyone in the hall changed.
He Jin was not in a hurry, the flesh on his face was pulsing, and he was looking more and more fierce, and said: "Your Majesty, the eunuchs are messing up the government, trying to undermine the loyal and good, and the whole world is angry. They also intend to dethrone the direct descendants and establish concubines, and influence our great Han Dynasty. I am really honest." This is intolerable! Therefore, I and all my colleagues have decided that the upright monarch will eliminate the thieves, support His Majesty, and kill the eunuchs!"
He Jin spoke openly and honestly. The three princes, Wang Yun, Cai Yong and others in the hall all had expressions of astonishment and made no sound.
Zhang Rang, Guo Sheng and other eleven permanent attendants were all horrified. After hearing this, they all knelt down and cried to Liu Bian: "Your Majesty, we are all close ministers of the late emperor. We are loyal and have never exceeded our rules. Your Majesty is the Queen Mother. The legitimate son, the Crown Prince of the East Palace, is it possible for a villain to change the situation? The general and others led troops into the forbidden palace without getting the will, which is really a treasonous act with ulterior motives! The villain dare not speak nonsense, and serve the late emperor and the queen mother carefully Your Majesty, please give me a clear warning..."
Eleven of the twelve regular attendants, except Jian Shuo, were crying and struggling.
This scene made He Jin and others' blood pressure rise sharply, and their anger surged.
He Jin's eyes widened and he was about to pull out his knife fiercely and kill these eunuchs on the spot.
Liu Bian had quick eyes and quick hands. He raised his hand suddenly and stopped He Jin's movement. He said with a cold expression: "General, the Twelve Constant Attendants are chamberlains. Even if there are mistakes, I will handle them. It's not your turn to lead the troops in." Forbidden Palace! Now you are under one person and above ten thousand people. You have overwhelming power. Now you are approaching the Forbidden Palace and killing wantonly. You don't take me seriously at all! General! Do you feel that you are tired of sitting in the position of General? , I want to sit somewhere higher!"
After saying this, He Jin, San Gong, even Queen Mother He and others were shocked.
In the current situation, theoretically speaking, it is indeed possible!
He Jin was startled for a moment. He really had never had such an idea. Then he said in a deep voice: "Your Majesty, I just want to get rid of thieves and help the country!"
Taiwei Liu Yu saw that the situation was going wrong and hurriedly interjected: "Your Majesty, the general is indeed wrong to lead the troops into the palace, but the general is loyal to your majesty and to my great man. Heaven and earth can teach you. Please don't listen to your Majesty." Slanderous words, wrongly blaming Zhongliang."
Queen Mother He reacted at this moment, took Liu Bian's hand, and said: "Bian'er, you were supported by your uncle. This Jian Shuo and Queen Mother Dong..."
"Mother!"
Liu Bian interrupted Queen Mother He's words, turned to look at her, and said: "Mother, I am the prince, and it is natural for me to succeed to the throne. I obey the destiny and have nothing to do with anyone."
Queen Mother He was stunned when she saw Liu Bian's expression, her mouth opened, and she was speechless. She felt that her Bian'er had changed and became a little unfamiliar to her.
Seeing that Liu Bian had frightened the Queen Mother He, he immediately turned to Liu Yu and said coldly: "What about castrating and erecting, and what about killing thieves? Why didn't you lead troops to enter the forbidden palace when my father was still alive? It happened to be the day when I succeeded to the throne. ? If we break into the Forbidden Palace today, will we do what Huo Guang did to abolish the establishment tomorrow? Or will Wang Mang do something rebellious?"
"I don't dare!" Liu Yu shouted loudly as he fell to the ground, and he was horrified.
In his impression, His Majesty, who had just succeeded to the throne, was timid and timid. He would cry and cry at every turn. He would talk about everything intermittently and in a confused way. How could he be so coherent and clear today?
The courtiers also looked surprised and confused. The new Majesty's words were full of hats, which made them breathless.
He Jin stared with a fierce look on his face, and he wanted to argue, but he couldn't say a word.
He was originally a butcher and lacked experience. He desperately wanted someone behind him to speak and give him an excuse.
Situ Dinggong, Sikong Liu Hong, Shangshu Wang Yun, Yilang Cai Yong and others had different expressions, some were shocked and some were puzzled.
Liu Bian didn't give them a chance to respond. He turned around and shouted at Yuan Shao: "Your Yuan family has been loyal to you for generations, and you have been honored by three nobles for four generations. Are you, the elders of the Yuan family, so loyal to you? Kill the eunuchs in Nangong and surround them. The king is in the North Palace. Since ancient times, is this what loyal ministers and good generals have done? Do you still have the king's law in your eyes? Do you still have me? Where is my dignity and face as a big man?!"
Yuan Shao looked shocked, looked at Liu Bian, opened his mouth, but could not utter a word.
Heart-breaking!
He couldn't explain such heart-wrenching words for a while!
Liu Bian's angry shouts also made San Gong and other court officials look panicked. Who can bear such a rebuke?
The flesh on He Jin's face was as hard as iron, and his eyes seemed to be burning with anger.
Liu Bian's hands behind his back were tightly clasped together, his waist was rigid, his neck was stiffened, and his brows were furrowed.
In the eyes of others, this is extremely angry, but in fact only he knows that this is nervousness and fear!
This one is not good. If some club jumps out to challenge him, or even rushes over to him desperately and slashes him twice, then he is finished.
'fine! '
Liu Bian was glad in his heart that he didn't have a mallet, but he knew that it was not enough. After a while, he snorted coldly and said: "Come here, put Yuan Shao in prison and interrogate him strictly!"
"No!"
He Jin raised his head sharply and said loudly.
