Chapter 139 Liu Bian succeeds to the throne
There was no news about Liu Hong's death, and He Jin ordered the control of Luoyang City. Three days later, He Jinjin met the emperor when he met the emperor, but "suddenly discovered" that His Majesty the Emperor died of illness, but the emperor did not leave any edict for succession.
Therefore, He Jin made funerals to the outside world and strongly supported the prince Bian ascending the throne to the emperor. When the ministers were still unclear, Liu Bian had already succeeded to the throne to become the Emperor of Han and appointed Liu Xie as King of Chenliu. However, because the emperor was young, Empress Dowager He and General He Jin jointly supervised the country and ruled the country.
Because the incident happened suddenly, the news that the emperor suddenly passed away was shocked. He Jin took advantage of the situation and controlled the entire Luoyang City.
Afterwards, He Jin also found the imperial edict of Liu Hong to establish Liu Xie ascended the throne at the residence of Jian Shuo, a military captain in Xiyuan. Needless to say, it was directly destroyed by He Jin. From then on, the Emperor of Han could only be his nephew Liu Bian.
On the night when He entered the palace and forced the palace, Jian Shuo, the military captain, led the Xiyuan army to fight bravely, but in the end he was defeated by Yuan Shao and others and was killed. The Xiyuan army founded by Liu Hong was also criticized by He Jin's control after Jian Shuo's death. Since then, no one in the entire Luoyang City can disobey He Jin's intention.
After He Jin controlled the entire Luoyang City, he was arrogant and even the Grand Tutor Yuan Huai and He Jin did not give face now. The entire Luoyang City can be said to have become his He Jin's belonging.
But the person who was most taboo about He Jin was the eunuchs of the Ten Eunuchs, especially Zhang Rang. Because when he got the news, Liu Hong issued two imperial edicts, one for Jian Shuo, and the other was naturally in the hands of Zhang Rang. However, now that his sister was protecting Zhang Rang and others, He Jin had no chance to start and did not destroy the other imperial edict. He Jin was always uneasy and began to secretly plan to kill Zhang Rang, the eunuchs.
When He Jin discussed with his subordinates how to kill these eunuchs, Yuan Shao suggested: "General, why not recruit the governors of various states to enter the capital to clear the monarchs. At that time, with the army of the governors of various states as their backing, the eunuchs such as Zhang Rang will be eliminated. Could it be that the general forgot that Dong Zhuo is there? As long as the general recruits Dong Zhuo to enter the capital, all the eunuchs of Zhang Rang can be killed, and then the general will be able to monopolize the power of Luoyang."
When Cao Cao heard this, he hurriedly said, "General, Dong Zhuo is a bad guy. If he is recruited to Beijing, he will probably suffer endless troubles."
Cao Cao had contacted Dong Zhuo from Guangzong, and he knew Dong Zhuo best while sitting. Dong Zhuo was obedient to the court on his face, but in private he was a different person. When Cao Cao got along with Dong Zhuo, he saw that Dong Zhuo was very ambitious. If he gave Dong Zhuo a chance, He Jin might not be able to fight Dong Zhuo by then.
But how could He Jin listen to Cao Cao? Dong Zhuo can be said to be obedient to He Jin, and in terms of personal relationships, He Jin and Dong Zhuo were also good. Otherwise, He Jin would not have asked Dong Zhuo to publicly support Liu Bian. But in the end, after Dong Zhuo said that he hoped to become He Jin's hidden strength, He Jin agreed without thinking. This shows that Dong Zhuo has completely made He Jinluo a confidant, so Cao Cao's proposal has now lowered Cao Cao several levels in He Jin's mind.
Seeing that He Jin did not listen to his advice, Cao Cao could only sigh helplessly.
He Jin wanted to deal with Zhang Rang and others, but was learned by Zhang Rang's secret spies arranged by Zhang Rang in the General's Mansion and told Zhang Rang the news overnight. When Zhang Rang heard this, he immediately asked the other ten regular attendants and others to gather their strength and prepare to deal with He Jin.
He also sent someone to send Liu Hong's letter to his succession to Dong Zhuo overnight, and asked Dong Zhuo to lead troops into Beijing to help deal with He Jin, so that Liu Xie could elect Liu Hong's last wish to be legitimate and become the Emperor of the Han Dynasty.
At this time, Dong Zhuo looked at the two letters in front of him asking him to send troops to Qingjun in Luoyang, as well as the will of Emperor Ling of Han who sent him by Zhang Rang.
After Liu Hong's death, he was posthumously named Emperor Ling of Han by He Jin.
Dong Zhuo couldn't help laughing happily when he looked at the emperor's will. Li Ru next to him said, "Congratulations to you, lord, this is a great opportunity. We should send troops as soon as possible and slowly head to Luoyang. After He Jin and Zhang Rang killed each other, we will control Luoyang City in one fell swoop. At that time, the lord can use this emperor's will to depose and enact. At that time, the lord will be able to be famous in the Han Dynasty and achieve the merit of following the dragon."
"Hahaha~!" Dong Zhuo laughed and said, "As long as we occupy the merit of the Dragon, the entire man will enter my hands by then." That's right, what Dong Zhuo wanted was to let the entire man take control of his own hands. Now that there is such a great opportunity, Dong Zhuo's ambition began to expand. He not only wanted to control Luoyang, but also wanted to control the entire man's world.
When Li Ru heard Dong Zhuo say this, he was shocked. He did not expect that his father-in-law actually wanted to control the world of the Han Dynasty. It was definitely possible in the face of this great opportunity. However, Li Ru thought more deeply and said, "Lord, it is feasible for you to control the Han Dynasty in front of this opportunity, but...." Li Ru said that he wanted to say something but stopped, because Dong Zhuo was in high spirits now, and he was hesitating whether he should pour cold water on his father-in-law.
Seeing that Li Ru wanted to speak but stopped, Dong Zhuo said, "Wenyou, just say it if you have something to do. Now you and my father-in-law and son-in-law are the only ones. If there is no outsider, just say it."
"Ah~!" Li Ru sighed in his heart and said, "Lord, it is feasible for you to control the entire Han Dynasty, but it seems that the lord has forgotten one person."
"Forgot someone?" Dong Zhuo thought about it and then, but he couldn't remember who he had forgotten, and this person could actually affect his control of the Han Dynasty.
Seeing that Dong Zhuo wanted to come out, Li Ru said directly: "Didn't the lord forget Brother Lu of Bingzhou?"
"Yes! Why did I forget Brother Xiaoyao!" Dong Zhuo suddenly realized. However, he was too happy just now, but he forgot about the existence of Lu Feng. Lu Feng was better than him in both martial arts and other aspects, and Lu Feng had another identity, that is, the brother-in-law of Emperor Liu Bian and King Chenliu Liu Xie. If he deposed Liu Bian and appointed King Chenliu Liu Xie to succeed the throne with the will of the late emperor, Xiaoyao had nothing to say, but if he wanted to seize Liu Xie's throne and let Liu Xie abdicate and give him the wise, then what would Lu Feng react to Dong Zhuo? If Lu Feng raised an army to attack him, Dong Zhuo believed that he would not be able to stop him with his army.
Not to mention how brave the soldiers under Lu Feng were in the continent, Lu Feng could break the city with one spear, and his martial arts skills were the best in the world. Hua Xiong, the most brave general under his command, could not even compare with Lu Feng’s brothers, let alone block Lu Feng.
"Alas!!" Thinking of this, Dong Zhuo sighed helplessly. His ambition was because of Lu Feng's existence, so he could only sigh.
When Li Ru saw that his father-in-law had been thrown cold water by him, he was a little depressed and persuaded him: "Master, you don't have to do this. The lord can support Liu Xie to take over the throne and command the princes. I think as long as the lord doesn't do too much, Brother Lu won't mind because he doesn't mind. I can see that Brother Lu doesn't have any ambition to fight for power, and just hopes to have a piece of land to make the family safe. As long as the lord doesn't do too much, Brother Lu won't interfere."
"Be serious?" Dong Zhuo asked with his eyes shining. He still had some understanding of Lu Feng and Dong Zhuo. He chose to maintain a good relationship with Lu Feng at the time because he knew that Lu Feng was very skilled in martial arts and was also a good friend worth making. And based on his understanding of Lu Feng, what Wen You said was indeed possible. After all, Lu Feng's attitude was always so unrestrained, giving people the feeling that he only wanted to guard one acre of three parts of the land. As long as others didn't mess with him, he would never pay attention to what you were doing. Moreover, Lu Feng was quite generous to his friends. Just by seeing Lu Feng passing by Hedong and asking Hua Xiong to give him a gift, you can see that Lu Feng was very infatuated. From then on, Dong Zhuo also believed Li Ru's speculation.
"Based on my understanding of Brother Lu, it shouldn't be wrong." Li Ru said affirmatively.
"Okay!" Dong Zhuo said: "Wenyou, now you immediately order the entire army to reorganize the army and let Niu Fu stay in Hedong. The rest of the people led the 200,000 Xiliang army under my command, ready to set out for Luoyang, and let Huaxiong lead the 200,000 Feixiong army with us first, and the others led the remaining army to Luoyang closely."
"Promise! Lord." After Li Ru agreed to the promise, he went down and started preparing and mobilized a large army to Luoyang.
At this time, Luoyang City is in turmoil and another terrifying storm is about to usher in. (To be continued. Please search for Piaotianwen, novels are better, updated and faster!)
