Not long after, Yuan Wei and Liu Yu appeared in Liu Bian's study.

They glanced at the kneeling Zhang Feng, stepped forward and saluted: "Your Majesty, Yuan Wei/Liu Yu, see you."

Liu Bian paid attention to the expressions of the two people, reached out to pick up the teacup, and said: "No courtesy."

After Liu Yu thanked him, his expression darkened and he said: "Your Majesty, Zhang Feng is the son of the eunuch Zhang Rang. He has committed countless sins. Please behead him immediately!"

Zhang Feng knelt still. He was determined to die and didn't care at all about Liu Yu's words.

Liu Bian seemed not to have heard anything. He looked at Yuan Wei and said, "What's the news about Dong Zhuo?"

He knew that Dong Zhuo had quietly led his troops back, but as for transferring him to Beijing, he had not received a reply yet.

Yuan Wei leaned on crutches, his thin face not moving at all, and said: "Your Majesty, come and go, I'm afraid it will have to wait until after the enthronement ceremony."

This is the official process.

Liu Bian's eyes were a bit sharp, and his tone was calm, and he said: "Qing family, I must ask Dong Zhuo to enter the capital."

Liu Yu, Cao Cao was slightly frightened when he heard Liu Bian's straightforward warning.

They didn't know that Dong Zhuo had led his troops to Hedong before and had been watching for several days!

Yuan Wei said: "Your Majesty, the most urgent task now is to deal with the general."

"Yuan Qing's Family"

Liu Bian's tone was a little serious and he said: "No matter what, Dong Zhuo must enter Beijing!"

Liu Yu seemed to realize something. He, who was already very wary of Dong Zhuo, also looked at Yuan Wei sternly.

Yuan Wei was silent, looking thoughtful.

Liu Bian stared at Yuan Wei and said, "Yuan Qing's family."

Yuan Wei pondered and said: "Your Majesty, Dong Zhuo has already refused once. If he refuses again this time, what should the court do?"

Dong Zhuo had previously refused the appointment of "Shaofu" by Emperor Ling, and the court asked him to serve as Bingzhou Mu and hand over his military power. As a result, Dong Zhuo took up the post of Bingzhou Mu, but still held the military power.

"I believe that Yuan Qing's family will find a solution." Liu Bian said, suppressing the anger in his heart.

Yuan Wei saw Liu Bian's resolute attitude and his thin face without emotion, but he gave the impression of sighing and said: "I obey the order."

Liu Bian snorted in his heart, old guy!

Right now, we still need to resolve the He Jin matter first.

He looked at Zhang Feng who was kneeling on the ground and thought about a solution.

He must stabilize the court. Stability is good for him; chaos is good for all careerists!

He glanced at Pan Yin, Liu Yu and Cao Cao who were present.

Cao Cao!

The gaze that had just been moved away suddenly returned.

Liu Bian's eyes narrowed slightly, and he thought quickly with excitement. He thought of a way!

He looked at Zhang Feng on the ground and said, "Zhang Feng, is there any other evidence?"

Zhang Fengdao: "They are all here. I also made a copy and sent it to Tingwei's Mansion."

Liu Bian nodded, his eyes suddenly stern, and said: "Pass the decree, Zhu Lu Shangshu, Jiuqing's chief officials and assistant officials, Shangshu, Yilang, civil and military officials with more than two thousand stones in Beijing, discuss matters in Jiade Palace."

Liu Yu looked shocked and blurted out: "Your Majesty, no!"

Liu Bian glanced at him and said, "What does Liu Qing's family want to say?"

Liu Yu raised his hand, with a solemn expression on his face, and said in a deep voice: "Your Majesty, the general's matter is very involved, so we need to act with caution. The imperial court can no longer carry out killings, and the party can no longer impose restrictions. Please think twice, your majesty."

Liu Bian smiled and said: "The Qing family don't have to worry, I will handle it myself, go and prepare."

Liu Yu looked at Liu Bian's confident expression, hesitated again and again, and said: "Yes."

Yuan Wei looked at Liu Bian and wondered: What is he going to do? Is he going to survive by cutting off his tail? Is he going to survive hard?

A group of people left Jingfu Hall and turned to Jiade Hall.

Ding Gong, Liu Hong, Yang Biao and others, who were already anxious to enter the palace, were all sent to the Jiade Hall.

Not long after, more officials, big and small, outside the palace received the order. Whether it was fear or worry, everyone gathered in the Jiade Hall with extremely complicated and uneasy thoughts.

Inside the Jiade Hall.

There were more than thirty people sitting on their knees, and if they hadn't been implicated by the eunuchs and those who were so worried that they abandoned their offices and ran away, there would have been twice as many.

Yuan Wei is at the front, followed by Sangong, Wang Yun, Huangfu Song, Yang Biao and others, followed by Jiuqing, and the vacant positions will be replaced by assistant officials.

Zhong Yao was on the list, plus some Huangmen ministers, Shangshu ministers, such as Xun You, Zheng Tai and others.

Then there are Cao Cao, Jian Shuo and others. They are not sitting, but standing aside.

So many people gathered together, involving the powerful General He Jin. They gathered together in twos and threes, whispering.

Not many people can take it easy. Since Emperor Huan, the two party imprisonments have almost destroyed the gentry.

After the death of Emperor Ling, General He Jin made repeated attempts to kill the eunuchs and went on a killing spree.

Now, He Jin has been retaliated by the eunuch party again. Will history repeat itself and suffer another disaster of party imprisonment?

As He Jin's staff, Xun You, Zheng Tai and others, who were recommended and appointed by He Jin, were the most worried.

"Your Majesty is here!"

Suddenly, there was a sharp and long scream from the side door.

Then, Liu Bian strode out in his royal robes.

Everyone immediately silenced their voices, raised their hands and bowed in unison: "I will see you, Your Majesty."

"Your Majesty, please excuse me." Liu Bian sat down on his knees and said with a smile.

"Thank you, Your Majesty." The courtiers put down their hands and returned to their seats, but their eyes were all on Liu Bian.

How He Jin dealt with it and to what extent he dealt with it all depended on the young emperor's words.

How will he deal with it?

Everyone was worried and uneasy.

Zhang Feng was brought up and knelt in the hall.

The courtiers looked over with almost disgusted expressions.

Zhang Feng met these gazes indifferently and smiled instead, with a happy look on his face.

As Zhang Rang's adopted son, he was also known as the "Chang Shilang" and enjoyed unlimited fame. Ever since Zhang Rang was killed, he had been frightened. That night, he happened to be in the brothel and escaped from the disaster.

He originally thought that he could save his life by relying on his wife's relationship with He Jin, but who knew that He Jin would not let go of the eunuchs at all and vowed to kill them completely.

He hid and wanted to wait for the limelight to pass. He never thought of 'reporting his illness'. The He family was so panicked that they actually wanted to report him in order to 'make atonement'!

Zhang Feng was desperate and cruelly decided to drag everyone together to die!

Liu Bian sat in the upper position and had a panoramic view of the expressions of these people. He was thinking in his mind and said with a spring breeze smile: "Fellow gentlemen, you all know the matter. Please tell me what to do."

The courtiers looked at Liu Bian and each other with different expressions, but no one spoke.

Seeing that they were silent, Liu Bian called them by name: "Yuan Qing's family?"

Yuan Wei raised his hand and said: "I respectfully listen to the holy judgment."

Liu Bian passed him directly, looked at Wang Yun, and said, "Wang Qing's family?"

Wang Yun raised his hand and said: "I respectfully listen to the holy judgment."

Liu Bian's brows moved and his eyes wandered around. Almost everyone lowered their heads and did not look at him, obviously hiding.

There was silence in the court hall.

Zhang Feng knelt on the ground, sneering in his heart.

Do these people dare to speak? There is no point in punishing the criminals. These people are all party members and they will all be buried with them!

No one spoke, Liu Bian thought for a moment, opened the box in front of him, and took out the pieces of paper inside.

This move frightened countless people to the point where they could not sit still on their knees, their eyes were frightened, and their expressions were panicked.

Yuan Wei watched Liu Bian's movements with a sharp look in his eyes.

Ding Gong, Liu Hong, Liu Yu and others were breathing heavily, holding their breath and concentrating, and their brows were knitted together.

Xun You and others who were closer to He Jin, even Cao Cao, had serious expressions.
