Back to the Three Kingdoms

Empress He hurriedly came outside the emperor's palace, but was blocked by a few eunuchs, and a young **** bowed and said, "My mother, forgive my sins, your majesty has violated your body. If you want to admire, no one will be seen." Empress He did not. Yue said: "I am your majesty's queen, don't you even see me?" The little **** said: "Your Majesty specifically confessed that no one, including the empress, will be seen."

Empress He frowned, glanced at the emperor's palace, snorted, and walked away.

At the same time, the emperor was lying next to a sick couch talking to a very tall middle-aged eunuch. "Jian Shuo, the widow has decided that the widow wants to make Liu Xie, the prince's child, to inherit the throne as the prince! Empress Dowager Dong also meant this!" The emperor's face was sick, but his tone of voice was very firm.

Jian Shuo frowned and said: "Your Majesty and the Queen Mother have always understood the feelings of the old slaves, but your Majesty should know that once His Royal Highness Liu Xie is established, then the Queen will be no more, but then He will make trouble, I am afraid it will be difficult to clean up! Nowadays, most of the army in the capital is under He Jin's control. Although the old slave can command He Jin in name, it is actually useless!"

The emperor frowned and said, "This is what widows are most worried about." He glanced at Jian Shuo, "I asked you to come here today to ask you to come up with an idea to solve this problem."

Jian Shuo thought for a moment, frowning and said: "For the present plan, only by getting rid of He Jin first can we ensure the smooth succession of His Royal Highness Liu Bian."

The emperor asked: "Do you have a way?"

Jian Shuo said: "There is a way. Your Majesty has violated the Eucharist, and he can summon He Jin under the guise of the Gu. The old slave ambushes the brave and brave men around His Majesty’s bedroom. Once He Jin steps into the bedroom, he must Cut him into meat sauce!" The emperor thought for a while, and asked with some worry: "Is this plan reliable?" Jian Shuo said: "As long as you don't leak the news, you will be foolproof. But in order to stabilize the situation, he should be eliminated. At the same time, deploy a reliable soldier and horse into Beijing to suppress all forces to avoid turmoil!" Then he frowned and said: "This reliable soldier and horse may not be easy to find for a while!"

The emperor said immediately: "Widows have a choice. It is General Yingyang Chen Lang."

Jian Shuo's eyes lit up and he slapped his hands: "Yeah! That General Yingyang was at odds with He Jin, Zhang Rang, etc., and the soldiers under his command were all powerful! They defeated Bao Bao with two thousand soldiers and horses outside the Xicheng Gate that day. Hong's army of five thousand and then confronted with tens of thousands of army of General He without fear! This General Yingyang is the best candidate!"

Seeing Jian Shuo, the emperor also thought it was appropriate, and said: "I immediately fix an imperial decree and send it to Chen Lang, and arrange a time to make him ready." Jian Shuo nodded, bowed and said, "Your Majesty is wise."

The emperor immediately ordered someone to bring a pen, ink, paper and inkstone. Under the service of the servant, he took a pen on the bed and wrote a secret decree, and handed it to Jian Shuo, and exhorted: "Choose a reliable person and give it to General Yingyang. In addition, you go personally. A trip to the General's Mansion, and ask the General to come to the bedroom tomorrow night, saying that I want to discuss with him about the guilty." Jian Shuo took the secret decree with both hands and promised.

Jian Shuo left the emperor's palace, only feeling the heavy responsibility on his shoulders, and hurriedly returned to his residence. This Jian Shuo is not only an eunuch, but also the marshal of the Eighth School of Xiyuan, so he has his own mansion.

As soon as Jian Shuo returned to the mansion, he immediately recruited his cronies, Sima Pan, and handed over the emperor’s secret decree to Sima Pan, and exhorted: "This is the secret decree that your majesty will hand over to General Yingyang. To General Yingyang. Remember, this matter is very important, and you must not travel." Simapan bowed and said; "Marshal, don't worry! Subordinates retire!" "Go!" Simapan bowed and exited the hall. Jian Shuo thought about it for a while, then called to kiss him and said, "Prepare to drive, I'm going to the General's Mansion!" With a promise, he ran off immediately.

Simapan left Jian Shuo's mansion with secret decree, mounted his horse and ran towards the west gate. However, he stopped short without rushing far, looked around, and then swung his whip into the side alley. He ran for a while along the small alley and returned to his home.

Seeing Sima Pan's sudden return, the wife hurriedly greeted him, "Husband, are you back?" Sima Pan ignored his wife, and rushed into the lighted hall with three steps and two steps. He ran to the lamp, took out the secret edict from his arms, carefully opened it, and looked at the lamp. Simapan's complexion changed suddenly, and he murmured: "It's not good, it's not good! The emperor has acted!" Then he repackaged the secret edict, put it in his arms, and said anxiously; "The matter is urgent, I want to immediately Go tell the general!" Then even rushed out again.

Sima Pan rushed to the back door of the general's mansion, turned over and jumped out of his horse, banging the door vigorously. The back door opened quickly, and a middle-aged doorman of 40 or 50 years old came out, saw Sima Pan, and asked in surprise: "Why Master Sima came here so late?"

Sima Pan hurriedly asked, "Where is the general?"

The doorman said: "Talking to Jian Shuo in the hall."

auzw.com Simapan immediately walked into the back door and hurriedly came to the outside of the window on the side of the hall to listen. I only heard the joyful talk inside, and the atmosphere was very harmonious.

At this moment, a maid who greeted tea came out with an empty plate. Sima Pan immediately beckoned to her to come over. Upon seeing this, the maid walked over. Sima Pan asked in a low voice, "What did the general and Jian Shuo talk about?" The maid looked a little hesitant. At this time, Jian Shuo in the hall stood up and left, and He Jin personally sent Jian Shuo out. Sima Pan was afraid of being seen by Jian Shuo, and immediately dragged the maid into the darkness.

When He Jin sent Jian Shuo away and returned, Sima Pan came out and bowed to He Jin with a fist, "General!"

He Jin suddenly saw Sima Pan and was very surprised, and asked, "When did you come? Wouldn't it be very bad if you were seen by Jian Shuo?" There was an unpleasant taste in his words.

Sima Pan said: "If there is not a hundred thousand urgent matters, how dare you come to see the general!" Then he took out the secret decree that the emperor wanted to hand over to Chen Lang, and said: "This is the secret decree that Jian Shuo brought out from the palace. , Is to be handed over to General Ying Yang!"

He Jin was surprised. He took the secret order, read it again, and said with a bewildered expression: "Your Majesty ordered Chen Lang to lead the eagle to raise the army to stabilize the situation in the capital tomorrow and night? What is this? Why does he need his eagle to raise the army to stabilize the capital in the city? The situation? Isn't my North Army Fifth Academy able to stabilize the situation? Is your Majesty confused?"

Sima Pan asked, "Dare to ask the general, what did Jian Shuo say with the general just now?"

When He Jin heard Sima Pan’s question, he immediately smiled proudly: "Jian Shuo came to convey his majesty's verbal message. His Majesty feels that there is not much time, so he wants to call me to attack and ask Tuogu."

Sima Pan's heart moved, and he said anxiously; "The general must not go! There will be disaster if you go!"

He Jin was taken aback, and hurriedly asked; "What does this mean?"

Sima Pan said: "This matter is obvious. It is a poisonous trick that Jian Shuo dedicated to his majesty. Your majesty is going to get rid of the general! It is false to entrust the king to the urn! The subordinate dare to determine, once it is big Generals entering the palace will inevitably suffer poisonous hands!" He Jin was frightened and scolded: "How dare the castrate?!" Then he became a little suspicious, and said, "How can Jian Shuo dare to have such a courage? Are you too much? Heart?"

Simapan said: "General! If your majesty really wants to be alone with you, why secretly transfer the Eagle Yang army to Beijing? Everyone knows that General Ying Yang is at odds with the general. This is obviously for the purpose of transferring him to Beijing. Used to stabilize the situation after the general is eliminated! This can't be more obvious!"

He Jin was furious and cursed: "The castrate is hateful! I swear to kill the castrate!" Then he not only panicked, and hurriedly asked: "What should I do now?"

Sima Pan said: "I hid this secret decree so that General Yingyang could not receive the secret decree, so he would not act. The general must not enter the palace and stay in the general mansion and wait for things to change. I think that your majesty’s order will come soon. As long as it is dragged to your majesty Yanjia, the general will lead his army into the palace to support His Royal Highness Liu Bian as the emperor, and at the same time try to castrate the party, so the world will do it!"

He Jin heard what Sima Pan said, only to feel that things turned out to be so simple. He laughed and said, "Well, well, that's it!"

Sima Pan bid farewell to He Jin and hurried away. Sima Pan didn't go to Mianchi after leaving the General's Mansion, but went back to his home secretly and burned the sealed decree. In the early morning of the next day, Sima Pan left home and returned to Jian Shuo's residence, reporting that the secret order had been delivered. According to the plan, Jian Shuo secretly mobilized cronies and warriors to enter the palace and wait for He Jin to arrive at night.

However, Jian Shuo personally led the warriors to ambush all night, He Jin did not show up, and the Ying Yang army under Chen Lang who was supposed to be in Beijing did not come. Jian Shuo was uncertain and had to report to the emperor. The emperor was confused and frightened, not knowing what to do. The emperor's illness was already very serious, but now he was suddenly frightened, and immediately fell down and died. Jian Shuo was frightened by the situation, and he hurriedly reported to Queen He.

Queen He received the news and immediately sent someone to notify He Jin. He Jin was currently discussing with Cao Cao and others. As soon as he got the news, he led his army straight into the forbidden palace. Right next to the emperor's corpse, he asked Liu Bian to put on his dragon robe and inherit the throne. At this moment, Jian Shuo, Empress Dowager Dong and others had no way to stop them, they could only watch all this happen.

Immediately the entire court mourned the first emperor under the auspices of He Jin. The people in the capital suddenly heard the news of Emperor Yanjia, and couldn't help feeling anxious, because in the past, when the emperor died, the situation always became very chaotic.

When Chen Lang received news of the sudden death of the emperor Liu Bian and succeeded to the throne in Mianchi, he prepared to set off for Luoyang. However, at this moment, He Jin's messenger arrived.
