After Wang Fen died, the first Jizhou shepherd was Han Fu.
Han Fu was a disciple of the Yuan family, and Jizhou was the place where the Yuan family made their fortune.
In Jizhou, Yuan's influence is just like his influence on Yanzhou.
They are all prestige left behind after decades of operation.
Although Han Fu later turned against the Yuan family, it did not mean that he would not target Liu Bei.
Fortunately, Han Fu came to power after Liu Hong's death.
At that time, he was also full-fledged, and he would not give anyone who dared to touch him even the face of Jizhou Mu.
Liu Hong went through all the things that would happen in the near future in his mind.
Looking at the overall situation, no major problems were found, and there was only one thing to do next.
That is to muddy the water and wait and see what happens, so that the court will have no time to care.
"It's time for Pei Yuanshao to move."
Liu Hong's eyes flickered.
It’s not good for Qingzhou to be so quiet. We can’t let Kong Rong live too easily!
Immediately a letter was sent to Pei Yuanshao.
Pei Yuanshao, who was hiding in the mountains of Qingzhou, received Liu Hong's letter.
Immediately led the Yellow Turbans and wreaked havoc in Qingzhou.
In other states, chaos is also gradually emerging.
Although the candidates for the various state shepherds have not yet been determined, it is certain that the position of governor will be abolished.
Officials of all prefectures and counties, big and small, are busy making money and managing things up and down. They are afraid of being dismissed from their posts, so they can't be busy with political affairs.
Therefore, even if the imperial court suppresses it, the unrest in various places has not subsided, but has become more and more intense.
And in the Luoyang Palace.
Liu Hong was thinking about who should be crowned prince.
Although Liu Bian was the eldest son, he was frivolous and lacked dignity.
In comparison, he preferred his youngest son Liu Xie, and planned to make him the crown prince.
But when I think about He Jin's military power, I'm afraid he won't agree.
Thinking about this, Liu Hong suddenly had an idea.
A few days later, Liu Hong received the letter.
Liu Hong established the Eight Colonels of Xiyuan, headed by Jian Shuo, to command the entire army.
"It seems that Liu Hong wants to change his position to crown prince."
Liu Hongmo rubbed his chin and sneered disdainfully.
The Eight Captains of Xiyuan were nothing more than a group of errant generals. After Liu Hong's death, they were like a piece of waste paper.
"However, He Jin must be disgusted enough."
Liu Hong didn't take this matter seriously. After all, the more Liu Hong committed suicide, the more beneficial it was to him.
After burning the letters, he prepared to go to the military camp.
Look at how the 50,000 elites are training.
Suddenly, a royal guard came in a hurry to report.
"My lord, a letter has been intercepted."
Liu Hong nodded, took the secret letter, and checked it.
The more he looked, the bigger the smile on his face became.
This Wang Fen was so courageous that he colluded with ministers everywhere to rebel and wanted to depose Liu Hong and establish a new emperor.
Isn't this taking the initiative to put the handle into his hands?
He had long been unhappy with the Jizhou governor.
However, he was not prepared to be the one who stood out.
"Have someone send this letter to Lu Shangshu's house."
"Remember not to expose your whereabouts."
Liu Hong said in a deep voice to the imperial guard in front of him.
"yes!"
The Jin Yiwei envoy took the order and left.
Lu Zhi had been loyal to the Han throughout his life. Things like rebellion would definitely be reported to the court. There was no need to waste such a good gunner.
Next, just wait for the news.
Luoyang, above the court.
"Liu Yu is a clan member of the Han Dynasty. He has made meritorious deeds during his tenure. I will appoint you as the shepherd of Youzhou. Don't let me down."
After several days of thinking, Liu Hong decided to canonize Liu Yu, a member of the Han clan, as Youzhou Mu.
The power of the state pastor is too great. If all the ministers are held by foreign ministers, his position will not be secure.
It is essential to canonize several Han clan clan members.
"Thank you, Your Majesty!"
Liu Yu was overjoyed and immediately stepped forward to receive the order.
"My beloved sir, do you have anything else to report?"
After Liu Hong nodded, he looked at the ministers.
"Your Majesty, I have something to report!"
Lu Zhi walked out slowly and saluted.
"What's wrong with Lu Shangshu?"
Liu Hong frowned.
"Your Majesty, I will report Wang Fenxing, the governor of Jizhou, for his rebellion!"
After Lu Zhi finished speaking, he handed over a letter in his hand. All the officials in the court were shocked when they heard this.
Cao Cao stood among the ministers and was frightened when he heard Lu Zhi's words.
Isn't this Wang Fen stupid enough to write his name on the letter?
A few days ago, he also received a secret letter from Wang Fen, who wanted to depose the emperor, but he felt that the time was not available, so he declined the letter in reply.
If you are involved in this matter, your life will be at risk.
When Liu Hong heard this, he immediately asked someone to hand over the letter. Looking at the content of the letter, his expression became worse and worse.
Taking a deep breath, he tore the letter into pieces with a livid face.
"The governor of Jizhou intends to commit rebellion. Please pass on my decree and arrest him immediately!"
the other side.
Wang Fen, the governor of Jizhou, was horrified and committed suicide after learning that this incident was exposed.
All correspondence has been burned.
Cao Cao, who had been uneasy day and night, finally breathed a sigh of relief after hearing the news.
However, Liu Hong became ill and bedridden.
New Year next year.
"Jian Shuo, you are the person I trust most. I have something to entrust to you!"
Liu Hong was half lying on the bed, his face pale.
"You are weak and incompetent, and do not have the majesty of an emperor. After my death, I will establish the alliance as the emperor. If you are a general, he can be punished..."
"My lord! I must accept the order!"
Jian Shuo knelt in front of Liu Hong, his eyes red.
"That's good..."
Jian Shuo saw that Liu Hong hadn't spoken for a long time. He looked up and saw that Liu Hong had his eyes closed tightly and his hands were weak and paralyzed beside the bed.
"Your Majesty, you are dead!"
.....
In the sixth year of Zhongping, Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty died!
Jian Shuo conspired to kill General He Jin and make Liu Xie emperor.
However, it was leaked by his confidant Pan Yin, and He Jin claimed that he was seriously ill and had escaped death.
Liu Bian succeeded to the throne.
Jian Shuo felt uneasy and conspired with the eunuchs to kill He Jin.
Zhao Sheng, the regular attendant, was always close to the He family and informed him privately.
He Jin took the opportunity to kill Jian Shuo and captured all the forbidden soldiers under his command, thereby gaining command of the Eighth School Lieutenant of Xiyuan.
"General, eunuchs are powerful. If we don't eradicate the root causes, we will definitely make the same mistakes again in the future."
"It would be best to also execute the Yanzhou shepherd who has good relations with the eunuchs!"
When Yuan Shao saw that He Jin had great power, he immediately proposed to execute all the eunuchs.
He Jin heard this and felt that it made sense.
"I will enter the palace first to discuss with the Queen Mother, and you will wait for my news."
He entered the palace and discussed with the Queen Mother He.
After learning that his brother wanted to get rid of Zhang Rang and other eunuchs and Liu Hong.
"Don't mention this matter again in the future. Zhang Rang, Liu Hong and I will be of great use."
Queen Mother He did not hesitate and directly rejected He Jin's proposal.
After seeing He Jin leave, his face gradually darkened.
She is now the Queen Mother, and the emperor is too young, so she listens behind the curtain and holds the power.
The brother's move was to compete with her for power and gain, and to eliminate dissidents.
If both the eunuch and Liu Hong die, it will be unclear who belongs to the world.
Thinking of Zhang Rang and others coming to see her before, begging her for help
After He Jin left the palace, he looked angry.
His little sister actually dared to refute what he said.
The words "Elder brother is like father" simply made her angry.
However, he was not very knowledgeable and could not make up his mind when encountering problems, so he could only look to Yuan Shao for advice.
"General, how about this?"
When Yuan Shao saw He Jin coming back, he quickly stepped forward to ask.
He also hated these eunuchs and Liu Hong. Now that He Jin was in great power, he only wanted to kill him with He Jin's hands.
He Jin looked unhappy.
"The Queen Mother refuses, how should we deal with this matter?"
Hearing this, Yuan Shao was silent for a long time, and a spiritual light lit up in his mind.
