As imperial edicts were issued one after another from Luoyang City, the reactions of various forces upon receiving the edicts were also different.
At this time, Cao Mansion's Cao Song took the imperial edict and said with a smile: "Hahaha, my son is really a Qilin'er."
"It's very gratifying, it's very gratifying."
This was before Cao Cao arrived home, and the Cao Mansion had already decided to celebrate when Cao Cao came back.
Yuan Shu's imperial edict was sent directly to Nanyang. After all, Yuan Shu himself was now the Mu of Nanyang.
Naturally, the imperial edict cannot be sent to the Yuan Mansion, and it will not affect the spread of their reputation that day. However, in just a few days, their deeds had basically spread throughout the entire Han Dynasty.
However, the thing that had the biggest repercussions here was Yuan Shu's reward. Only things in the military camp are left, now in the military camp. The prestige of Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty has reached its peak, because the military pay is not only in place. What's more, it was the reward that made these soldiers recognize Han Ling Emperor unconsciously.
Yuan Wei is now the busiest person in the entire Han Dynasty except Han Ling Emperor. These days, officials are constantly coming to Yuan Shu every day to talk matchmaking.
Even though he has refused many times every day, there are still many people who want to betroth their daughters to Yuan Shu with a glimmer of hope.
In this way, they can gain connections with the Yuan family. Thereby reaching the sky in one step, so naturally these people will not give up easily.
"Master, here is a letter from the second young master." After Xiao Si finished speaking, he handed the letter over.
Yuan Wei opened the letter and read it, and suddenly he smiled. The letter asked him to attend Yuan Shu's wedding, which made Yuan Wei very happy.
Because his nephew has finally enlightened in his eyes and is willing to marry again besides Feng Yuan and Cai Wenji.
In Yuan Wei's view, this is a great joy for the Yuan family.
Yuan Wei waved his hand and said: "Okay, you and I will receive ten taels of silver from the warehouse."
Xiaosi quickly smiled happily and bowed and said: "Thank you, sir, thank you, sir."
At this time, everyone is busy with their own things. Only in the palace, Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty had been bedridden for several days.
He is extremely weak now.
Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty, who was lying on the bed, stretched out his hand tremblingly and said, "Father, I don't have much time left."
"Excuse me, you can take care of my children just like you take care of me in the future. You can discuss with the queen all the big and small matters in the harem when I leave."
"Under my pillow, there are medical instructions that have been prepared a long time ago. You hand him over to the queen, and let the queen assist Braid."
Zhang Rang was already crying. Before he could agree, Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty passed away after finishing speaking.
Zhang Rang cried and said, "Your Majesty, don't worry."
"My slave will definitely help the new emperor rule the Han Dynasty well, as long as I, Zhang Rang, live for one day."
"No one can threaten the new emperor's position, and slaves have not been vegetarians in the palace these years."
Later, Zhang Rang took out the edict from under Emperor Ling's pillow. He walked out of the door and said to a young eunuch: "Go to our house immediately and notify the Queen to come over. Just say that it was summoned by His Majesty."
Later, Zhang Rang was here guarding the door. He also became a lot more sinister in his heart. He knew that the reason why their Shi Changshi could be lawless these years was because Emperor Ling of Han Dynasty had been protecting him.
Now, it's time for Zhang Rang to repay his kindness. As for what was written in the edict, he didn't want to know. He believed that Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty would not harm him, and Zhang Rang had already confirmed this.
At this time, it was just the beginning of summer in the sixth year of Zhongping in the Eastern Han Dynasty. Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty also died during this time period in history. It can be said that the way of heaven is impermanent and can be changed by small trends.
Soon, the queen arrived. Seeing Zhang Rang standing at the door waiting, he said, "Take me in. Don't keep Your Majesty waiting."
Although the queen used to be the daughter of a butcher, she now behaves elegantly. Her temperament is so pure that she doesn't look like General He Jin's sister at all.
Zhang Rang: "Queen, please come in with me!"
"You are waiting outside. No one is allowed to come in without His Majesty's order."
After Zhang Rang finished speaking, he took the queen in. Then he closed the door, and before the queen could question Zhang Rang, she immediately knelt down and said, "Queen, your majesty has passed away."
"This is the imperial edict that His Majesty asked me to give to you. His Majesty also said that you can supervise the country on your behalf and listen to the government behind the curtain."
"The new emperor is the prince under the empress's knees, and I will assist the empress empress well."
Zhang Rang said so much in one breath, but the queen had no time to feel sad. She just felt like the sky was falling all of a sudden. How could a woman like her be able to defend the country of the Han Dynasty?
As for what her brother is, she already knows.
If he listens to politics from behind the curtain, his brother will only become more and more unscrupulous. This will only speed up the demise of the Han Dynasty, and above him there is the Empress Dowager Dong, the adoptive mother of Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty.
This woman is not a cheap person, and the person the other party has always wanted to support to ascend the throne is Liu Xie.
The queen strode to Emperor Han Ling's bed and saw that Emperor Han Ling was indeed dead. But she couldn't cry now. After all, she knew that the death of Emperor Han Ling could not be announced yet.
Otherwise, whether he can still live is a question. A posthumous edict from Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty could not suppress those ambitious people. In recent years, she seemed to be the master of the Sixth Palace, but in fact she did not have much rights at all.
Thinking of this, the queen looked at Zhang Rang and said, "I ask you, are you willing to really assist Bian'er?"
Zhang Rang: "I am willing."
The queen's eyes immediately turned sinister and she said, "How many of the ten permanent servants are willing to listen to you?"
"How many people are from the Queen Mother, and how many of these leaders of the Yulin Guards can you mobilize?"
The queen could say this, and Zhang Rang knew what he should do. So he immediately replied: "Back to the Queen, there are four people among the ten permanent servants, including me, that the Queen can call upon at will."
"They are Zhao Zhong, Cao Jie, Feng Xu and Guo Sheng. The rest are all from the Queen Mother."
"As for the Yulin Guards in the palace, no one can move them except Your Majesty."
"Of course, the current empress can be mobilized with the edict."
After Zhang Rang finished speaking, Queen He Lian thought for a moment and said immediately: "Now you announce the death of His Majesty."
"Then he immediately took the edict and put Empress Dowager Dong under house arrest."
"Then those who we can't mobilize among the remaining ten permanent servants will be killed directly and let them be buried with His Majesty."
Facts have proved that Zhang Rang, the head of the Ten Constant Attendants, was not in vain. No wonder he was called the Great Father by Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty. After immediately announcing the death of the Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty, he mobilized the Yulin Guards in the palace with an edict.
In less than an hour, the entire palace was under his control. As for Empress Dowager Dong, she must have been sidelined. Although you were put under house arrest, all the eunuchs he relied on and trusted were killed by Zhang Rang.
Even the maids around her have been replaced, and now the only voice in the entire palace is Queen He Lian.
As nine loud bells rang, all the ministers in Luoyang City knew the news of the death of Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty. All the ministers began to wear sackcloth and mourning, and even the common people also wore mourning on their heads.
At this point, the era of Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty officially began to end. The next situation may not be long before the feud between princes.
After Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty was buried, General He Jin went to his sister Queen He and asked: "Since Your Majesty has passed away, why don't you increase my rights?"
"Besides, Zhuo'er is firmly on the throne now, and our He family has the final say in the world now."
"Don't you know what this means?"
Sure enough, General He Jin still couldn't stand the temptation of power. What he is thinking about now is how to make himself truly inferior to one person and superior to ten thousand people.
It can be said that he is not satisfied with his current rights.
But how could he understand the painstaking efforts of his sister, Queen He. The current Han Dynasty can be said to be on the verge of collapse, and it is especially unclear whether it can survive until the pigtails reach adulthood.
Even though Queen He was very sad, she calmly said to her brother: "This world is not yours, nor mine. It does not belong to the He family. When Pigtail grows up in the future, the world will belong to him."
"And now you are already a first-class general. What else do you want?"
"If you want to interfere in government affairs, I will not give it to you."
As soon as Queen He said these words, He Jin shook his robe angrily and left. But he must be dissatisfied in his heart, because in his opinion, except for his sister and the current emperor, there is no one more noble than himself in the world.
So it's understandable that he wants to ask for more, but he doesn't know that the current big man is shaky and can't withstand the wind and rain.
After returning home, He Jin became more and more angry as he thought about it. Then he went to Yuan Wei and said, "Master Taifu, I think your Majesty is just a puppet used by Zhang Rang to consolidate his power."
"These eunuchs may have great demands, and even the queen is always in danger."
"So, I think we should gather some ambitious people to help your Majesty solve your problems and keep you safe."
The reason why He Jin said this was all based on his own conjecture. Whether it is true or not remains to be discussed, and Yuan Wei knew that the queen had an edict written by Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty himself during his lifetime.
Moreover, this edict was also true, and all the ministers at that time had read it. I didn't see any problems, and Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty also appointed the queen to listen to politics behind the curtain.
Therefore, for He Jin's wooing. Yuan Wei didn't want to get involved, after all, he was just a minister from beginning to end.
