The other ministers followed suit and sat upright. Although they didn't say anything, they all meant to stop him.
Not only because of the great prestige of the fourth and third sons of the Yuan family, but also because Yuan Shao's decision to lead his troops into the palace was their collective support and decision, explicit or implicit.
The civil servant group hates the eunuchs more than just a day or two. They have long wanted to kill them all!
Liu Bian ignored He Jin at all, turned to Zhang Rang and others, and said: "As an eunuch, I don't want to serve the emperor, but I have the audacity to act recklessly, with evil intentions, and intend to abolish the establishment! Jian Shuo, take all these eleven people into custody Imprisoned in the Forbidden Palace, tortured, I want to know everything!"
Jian Shuo was originally worried about being a scapegoat. Seeing that Liu Bian was going to punish Zhang Rang and his gang, he felt excited and immediately said: "The villain takes the order. Come on, take it down!"
Zhang Rang and others were startled, and they knelt down with a thud. Before they could speak, they heard footsteps hurriedly coming out of the other side door: "No!"
Liu Bian turned around and looked. A graceful and elegant old woman over fifty years old with gray hair walked out quickly with a child of seven or eight years old. With a gloomy expression, she said directly to Liu Bian: "They all belong to the late emperor." Dear minister, you are going to arrest them as soon as you ascend the throne today, how filial you are!"
The cries of Zhang Rang, Zhao Zhong, Guo Sheng and others stopped instantly. They looked at Empress Dowager Dong and Liu Xie, and then looked at Liu Bian.
The foreign ministers did not respect him and the inner palace did not allow him. Liu Bian felt angry in his heart. He looked at Jian Shuo coldly and said, "What are you waiting for!"
Jian Shuo got excited and said loudly: "Take it away!"
The Imperial Guards who obeyed Jian Shuo's orders immediately pounced on Zhang Rang, Guo Sheng and the eleven Chang Shilang left behind by Emperor Ling.
"The Queen Mother, the Queen Mother, please save me..." The crowd cried to the Queen Mother He again, their voices were very sad and came from the bottom of their hearts.
"Liu Bian!"
Before Queen Mother He could speak, Queen Mother Dong glared at Liu Bian and shouted, "You are disobeying your royal grandmother! This is unfilial!"
The Han Dynasty still paid great attention to filial piety. Except for the scoundrel who founded the country, almost all descendants had harems to participate in politics, and the emperor had very limited room for resistance.
But Liu Bian ignored him and just stared at Jian Shuo.
Jian Shuo had no way out. Facing Liu Bian's cold eyes, he waved his hand and said, "Take him away!"
Zhang Rang and others kept crying, but they were dragged away by the imperial army.
Empress Dowager Dong's face was livid with anger, and she was too angry to speak a complete sentence, so she could only glare at Liu Bian.
Queen Mother He didn't say anything. She had been deceived by Zhang Rang and those people before. She never expected that these people would join forces with Queen Mother Dong in an attempt to steal his son's throne!
Seeing that Zhang Rang and others were taken away, she felt happy and could not help but glance at Empress Dowager Dong proudly.
Liu Bian ignored Empress Dowager Dong, dealt with Zhang Rang and others, and looked down at He Jin who was kneeling on the ground with his hands behind his back, expressionless and not angry.
Now, we have to deal with Yuan Shao.
He Jin and Liu Bian looked at each other and understood immediately, with a look of hesitation on their fierce faces.
Although He Jin was happy that Liu Bian dealt with Zhang Rang, Zhao Zhong and other eunuchs who were fighting for power with him, Yuan Shao entered the palace under his order and was his!
Ding Gong, Liu Hong, Liu Yu, Shangshu Wang Yun and others did not speak. They were happy to deal with the ten permanent servants, but Yuan Shao, in their opinion, was not wrong.
Killing traitors for the country has been their wish for many years!
But facing the strong and decisive new emperor who had just ascended the throne, they could not directly confront him.
Yes, silence.
Liu Bian couldn't tell what they were thinking. He looked directly at He Jin and said, "General, are you going to resist the order?"
He Jin's face twitched, and he felt a little angry. Why was this nephew who usually didn't dare to speak loudly to him so aggressive today?
Suddenly he raised his head and looked around Liu Bian with a fierce expression.
In his heart, this nephew has always been obedient and as timid as a mouse. Someone must have instigated him to act like this today!
When the other courtiers saw this scene, almost all their expressions changed, and their hearts were full of warning signs!
Does He Jin want to resist the order in public? !
Confrontation between king and minister is always a bad omen!
He Jin's sudden movement scared everyone.
Empress Dowager Dong hugged Liu Xie tightly, watching nervously and coldly.
Queen Mother He was still in a panic and didn't know what to say for a while.
Jian Shuo has been guarding Liu Bian, and he is also very nervous.
He Jin has too much power, and most of the imperial troops in the palace are now controlled by him. If he fails, He Jin can order Yuan Shao to swing his sword again and kill everyone they want!
The courtiers' repeated silences made Liu Bian even more angry and nervous. However, he had no way out. He gritted his teeth and said calmly: "General, I'm asking you, are you going to resist the decree?" ?"
He Jin couldn't find anyone who could instigate Liu Bian in this way. Seeing Liu Bian asking again, he felt even more angry and his expression became more fierce.
Liu Bian's words pushed both of them to the edge of the cliff.
If He Jin does not agree to deal with Yuan Shao, then the monarch, his ministers, his uncles and his nephews will have to fight against each other in front of the civil and military officials of the court, and the consequences will be unimaginable.
If He Jin agreed, then he, the general, would be slapped hard at such a special moment. Not only would it be unbearable for him, but it would also have a huge blow to his authority!
He Jin quickly weighed in his mind, the flesh on his face twitched, and after repeated anger, he said: "Yuan Shao is guilty, come here, take him to Tingwei Mansion, I want to interrogate him personally."
This was He Jin's helpless idea. He had the final say on what crime Yuan Shao would commit when he was taken into Tingwei's Mansion.
Immediately, the imperial army came forward, detained Yuan Shao, and walked out.
Yuan Shao didn't say anything, threw away the knife in his hand, and without changing his expression, he went to the market generously and walked out of Deyang Palace on his own.
After Yuan Shao left, everyone in Deyang Palace seemed to be inexplicably relieved.
Queen Mother He's tense expression slowly softened, and she shared a forced smile with He Jin.
Jian Shuo's heart was surging, and his eyes flickered slightly when he looked at Liu Bian.
Although Sangong, Wang Yun and others did not agree with Yuan Shao being taken away, they ended the confrontation between the emperor and his ministers, and their frozen expressions slowly loosened.
Only He Jin had a face as iron as steel, his eyes were fierce and angry, and he was suppressing his expression.
He never expected that his nephew, whom he helped up with his own hands, would be so against him on the first day!
Liu Bian was holding his back, and his hands that were tightly clasped together suddenly let go. He was shocked to realize that not only were his palms sweaty, but blood was even drawn from pinching them, and his back was even colder!
Liu Bian's figure trembled, he controlled forcefully, straightened his neck, lowered his head slightly, and said with dull eyes: "Jian Shuo, prepare the decree."
Jian Shuo was startled and quickly raised his hand and said: "The villain is here."
Everyone in the Deyang Palace looked at Liu Bian, and they all looked surprised. They had no idea what the little emperor who had just ascended the throne was going to do!
What he did today, in their eyes, was nothing more than a surprise!
