Yuan Wei hesitated, but thinking of his eldest nephew, he followed He Jin.
Xiao Huangmen was frightened, turned around and hurried into the palace to report to Liu Bian.
Inside Jingfu Hall.
Pan Yin was still reading the silk, while Liu Bian became more serious, memorizing each word in his heart.
Although the difference is huge, there are still many traces to follow, and Liu Bian already knows many words.
Not long after, the small yellow gate of the Zhuque Gate rushed in, knelt on the ground and said: "Your Majesty, the general, the general has entered the palace."
Liu Bian, who was immersed in the joy of literacy, frowned, looked up at him and said, "Didn't I tell you that I won't see anyone today?"
Xiao Huangmen knelt on the ground and trembled, saying: "Your Majesty, the general kicked the villain down, and no one else dared to stop him..."
In the past, apart from the Twelve Constant Attendants who could fight with He Jin, who could stop He Jin?
Now, the situation has changed drastically, and who dares to stop it!
Liu Bian thought about He Jin's attitude yesterday, his expression remained motionless, but thoughts were swirling in his mind.
The relatives of the Han Dynasty were the most powerful. Those who deposed the emperor, took advantage of the emperor's power, and poisoned the emperor and established others. Those who replaced him came one after another, as if there was no break.
When you get to He Jin here, which show will you perform?
"Bian'er, since it's your uncle here, let him come in. We are a family. We don't want to live apart."
Suddenly, Queen Mother He came in and said with a smile.
Jian Shuo, a tall man, followed him respectfully and bowed his head.
'He Jin, Queen Mother He, Jian Shuo, what a coincidence? '
Liu Bian narrowed his eyes slightly, stood up and said with a smile: "What the Queen Mother said is to invite the general."
Xiao Huangmen responded, got up and retreated.
Empress Dowager He was happy when she heard this. She pulled Liu Bian to sit down and said with a smile: "Your uncle is a member of the family and an important official of the court. He cannot be neglected. Let's let the matter of yesterday go. Jian Shuo to your father, I am loyal to you and me, and besides, the old woman has left the palace, so don’t worry about her anymore."
Liu Bian touched his chin, glanced at Jian Shuo, and thought to himself: These twelve regular servants are indeed not free, so they have found another backer?
"That's what the Queen Mother said." Liu Bian smiled, picked up the teapot, and poured a cup for Queen Mother He.
Although Queen Mother He had some doubts about this son whose temperament suddenly changed, in her opinion, it didn't matter why he was still her son and she was still my mother.
Seeing Liu Bian pouring tea for her, she smiled more and more and said: "That's right. From now on, there will be a queen mother in the palace and your uncle outside. This big man is ours. Just be the emperor with peace of mind and don't care so much." …”
Liu Bian looked motionless and began to feel uncomfortable.
There is a queen mother in this palace and a general outside. Doesn’t he, the emperor, become a decoration?
"General, the tutor has arrived." The small yellow door outside sang loudly.
Liu Bian picked up his tea cup, drank tea quietly, and began to seriously examine his current situation.
When He Jin came in with his golden sword, Yuan Wei behind him seemed much more respectful.
He Jin originally wanted to go directly into the room and sit down as before, but perhaps thinking of Chen Lin's words, he suddenly stopped in his steps, straightened his face, and raised his hands stiffly, saying: "I have met your Majesty and the Queen Mother."
Yuan Wei followed, and as soon as he raised his hand, Queen Mother He said with a smile: "We are all one family, no need to be more polite. Brother, please sit down."
Before Yuan Wei raised his hand, he saw He Jin walking straight forward and sitting opposite Liu Bian.
Yuan Wei looked at Queen Mother He, then at Liu Bian who looked as usual, slowly put down his hand and walked behind He Jin.
After He Jin sat down, he looked at Liu Bian and said, "Your Majesty, all the ministers reported that they believed that yesterday the Twelve Constant Attendants plotted to kill Your Majesty. Yuan Shao led his troops into the palace. Although it was reckless, it was to protect the Lord. Not only was he innocent, It should be considered a meritorious service!”
Liu Bian slowly put down his tea cup and said calmly: "General, what do you mean, I made a mistake?"
Seeing Liu Bian's attitude, He Jin felt uncomfortable and said: "Your Majesty, if Yuan Shao is guilty, who will dare to enter the palace to rescue your Majesty when he is in trouble in the future?"
I wonder if He Jin is not good at hiding his emotions, but Liu Bian can clearly see the anger on his face.
Liu Bian glanced at Yuan Wei and said, "Master Yuan, what do you think?"
Hearing this, Yuan Wei raised his hand and said: "Returning to your majesty, I think that Yuan Shao is guilty of leading his troops into the forbidden palace despite the imperial edict. But he entered the palace to protect him, and his situation is pitiable. Please give him a gentle sentence."
Liu Bian nodded with a smile and said, "The Yuan Qing family understands the importance. So what do you think Yuan Shao should do?"
He Jin's expression darkened, with a fierce look on his face, and he said: "Your Majesty, you should release Yuan Shao immediately and reward the courtiers to show your Majesty's kindness!"
When a new emperor succeeds to the throne, it is a routine practice to grant ministers great titles, but if Liu Bian really followed He Jin's request, he was afraid that only He Jin's party members would be rewarded.
Liu Bian ignored He Jin, looked at Yuan Wei and said, "Yuan Qing's family?"
Yuan Wei bowed, with no emotion on his old face, and said: "Your Majesty, this matter... should be treated as a small punishment but a big warning. The first punishment is for those who have gone wrong, and the second is for those who come. I suggest that Yuan Shao has mixed merits and demerits, and adds Zhonglang General, send Youzhou to guard the border."
Liu Bian held the tea cup and examined Yuan Wei. This suggestion was a safe way.
But it was not enough to satisfy him. He shook his head and said: "Yuan Shao's crime needs to be reviewed by the Tingwei Mansion, and then I will make a decision. It is too early now. I hope that the courtiers will act in accordance with the laws of our Han Dynasty, and everything must be done in accordance with the laws of the Han Dynasty." The rules cannot be exceeded."
Yuan Wei thought about Liu Bian's words, vaguely feeling that they were pointing to something, but he couldn't figure it out for a while. He paused and said: "Your Majesty is wise."
He Jin was dissatisfied, and looked directly at Liu Bian, saying: "Your Majesty, Yuan Shao has not been out for a day, and the courtiers are restless. The late emperor has just passed away, and Your Majesty has just succeeded to the throne. It is necessary to appease people's hearts. It is not appropriate to delay. Your Majesty, please think again." .”
Holy shit!
Seeing He Jingchen pressing forward, Liu Bian said with an expressionless face: "Act according to the law. General, from now on you must also act according to the law. You are not allowed to beat the servants at will, let alone break into the palace."
Seeing Liu Bianming's stubbornness, He Jin became angry and shouted: "As a general, can't I even enter the palace?"
The Empress Dowager He didn't expect that her brother and son would quarrel again. She quickly stood up, poured tea for her brother, and said: "Brother, Bian'er is right. How can you break into this palace? You want to come." , tell me in advance, can I still miss you?"
After saying that, he turned to look at Liu Bian and said: "Bian'er, isn't he just Yuan Shao? Just let him go, it's no big deal. He is your uncle's man, can he still harm you?"
Liu Bian kept his expression firmly still, and couldn't help shouting in his heart: Do you know what's going on?
If he let Yuan Shao go like this, what dignity would he have left? Will I have to follow He Jinyan’s advice from now on? Be a puppet emperor? What if He Jin gets too drunk one day and wants to sit on the throne?
He Jin glared at Liu Bian, waiting for words. He reluctantly agreed to his sister's persuasion. He just wanted to let Yuan Shao go and go to the palace to say so.
Yuan Wei bowed his head, his brows furrowed and his expression dark.
He somewhat understood that the essence of his nephew's matter was not that he led troops into the palace, but that he became a bargaining chip for power between the new majesty and the general.
