The Nameless of the Common Clans
Chapter 160: The Emperor Dies
"General, there is an angel from the palace outside the door to deliver the edict." A general from the general's mansion hurriedly came to report.
He Jin was discussing military power with Yuan Shao, Cao Cao and others. He controlled the world's military power. However, in Luoyang, as the emperor established the Eighth School of Xiyuan, He Jin's military power was cut in half.
Don't forget that the eight schools of Xiyuan only have 8,000 people in total. Luoyang originally had nearly 20,000 soldiers and horses, but not all of those 20,000 people were under the command of He Jin. Most of Luoyang's military power can be divided into several parts. Wei, the fifth school of the Northern Army, Guang Luxun, Zhi Jinwu and the Wei Department of Chengmen School.
Dong Zhong was a Weiwei, and he was not on the same side as He Jin. Now that he was added to the Eighth School of Xiyuan, the balance suddenly turned.
Of course, if there are only these two, there is no way to compare with He Jin. However, with the establishment of the Xiyuan New Army, He Jin nominally controls all the troops, but in fact, if he really fights against the imperial power, how many people will he have? It's not necessarily true if you listen to him.
Previously, the Queen suddenly sent someone from the palace to bring news that the Emperor was dying and might die soon, so He Jin had to make early preparations.
The visitor didn't say what preparations were needed, but He Jin understood that the next step was to help his nephew inherit the throne.
"Pass an edict?" He Jin frowned slightly when he heard this and said, "An edict from the emperor?"
"Probably." The general nodded.
"Invite the angels into the side hall!" He Jin quickly stood up and ordered the angels to be welcomed into the side hall. As for the main hall, if the eunuchs and minions saw so many powerful figures in the army, they would not know what label they would label themselves.
"Everyone, wait a moment, I'll go take a look." He Jin nodded to everyone, turned around and strode away.
After a while, the palace envoy came in under the leadership of the family general and saluted He Jin.
"Brother Pan?" He Jin was a little surprised when he saw the person coming, why are you here?
"I was ordered to come here to deliver the edict." Pan Yin handed the edict to He Jin, but felt a little tangled in his heart: "Your Majesty invites the general to enter the palace."
"Your Majesty summons me to the palace?" He Jin looked happy when he heard this. The queen said that your majesty will pass away soon. If you summon me to the palace at this time, does it mean that your majesty is ready to declare himself as the new king and wants my assistance?
Thinking of this, He Jin smiled and said: "Brother Pan, wait a moment, I will change my clothes right now."
"This..." Pan Yin couldn't help but said: "General, wait a moment."
"What else is there?" He Jin looked at Pan Yin and asked doubtfully.
"This matter is not too urgent. How about waiting for a while, General?" Pan Yin didn't want to betray Jian Shuo, but he was a little tangled because he was kind to him, and he didn't want to get out of trouble.
"Why is this?" He Jin asked with a frown. How could the envoy sent by the emperor tell people that there was no need to worry?
"Your Majesty is ill and may have fallen asleep at this moment." Pan Yin said hesitantly: "If the general enters the palace at this time, I am afraid he will have to wait for a long time."
He Jin frowned and looked at Pan Yin who was hesitating to speak. He felt suspicious in his heart and nodded silently: "Just wait here for a while. I'll be back as soon as I can."
"Here!" Pan Yin nodded in agreement and stayed respectfully in the side hall, while He Jin took the edict and went straight to the main hall.
"General, is there an edict from the emperor?" Yuan Shao asked when he saw He Jin coming in.
"Yes." He Jin nodded and handed the edict to Yuan Shao to circulate to everyone.
"Your Majesty is recruiting you now. Is it because you want to entrust the general?" Feng Fang said with a smile.
"I thought that was the case at first." He Jin shook his head and said, "But Pan Yin was quite cryptic in his words. I have a history with this person, so I'm afraid it's not that simple."
"If it's not Tuogu, it's because he wants to kill the general!" Yuan Shao frowned and said.
"What's the explanation?" He Jin asked with a frown.
"Your Majesty has long wanted to abolish the elders and establish younger ones. The purpose of establishing the Xiyuan School Captain is to check and balance the General. If Your Majesty is really... powerless and wants to establish a partnership with the prince to inherit the emperor's empire, then the biggest obstacle will be the General. , we must get rid of the general first to avoid future troubles!" Yuan Shao said in a deep voice.
He Jin was covered in cold sweat by what Yuan Shao said. He looked at Yuan Shao and said, "Is this true?"
"Shao is just guessing, but since Pan Yin hesitated to say anything, I'm afraid it's probably true. The general might as well say he's ill and I won't wait until tomorrow when I go to court to see if it's too late." Yuan Shao shook his head. He was not sure either. But if you look at it from the emperor's point of view, if you want Liu Xie to succeed to the throne, He Jin must be removed.
Cao Cao sighed silently. In this way, the big man would once again embark on the old path of monopolizing power from his relatives.
"General, there is a military captain Chen Mo outside the door asking to see you!" A general came in hurriedly and saluted He Jin.
"Chen Mo? What's the reason for him coming here?" He Jin frowned when he heard this. He was quite unhappy about Chen Mo's arrival. After all, he regarded Bao Hong as a confidant, and Chen Mo was stepping on Bao Hong to get the position, and there were eunuchs behind him. Support is naturally regarded as the opposite by He Jin.
"General, Chen Mo is a man of both civil and military skills. Although Chen Mo benefited from Bao Hong's incident, he was not involved in it." Yuan Shao smiled and said, "We might as well meet him."
"Let's see Benchu today and let him in." He Jin snorted coldly and nodded to the general.
"Here!"
Not long after the general left, Chen Mo and Chen Deng walked in side by side, saluted He Jin and said, "I will see the general at the end."
"Huaipu Chen Deng, I have met the general!" Chen Deng also smiled and saluted.
"Oh? Are you Chen Yuanlong? The son of Han Yu?" He Jin was startled when he saw Chen Deng, and then asked.
"Exactly." Chen Deng smiled.
"Take a seat!" He Jin pointed to the seat and asked Chen Mo to take a seat, but he ignored Chen Mo.
Chen Mo was not angry, and sat directly beside Chen Deng. He pretended not to see He Jin's hostility. In Luoyang, if you want to stand out without a background, you must be thick-skinned.
"When did Yuanlong arrive in Luoyang?" He Jin smiled at Chen Deng. Although he had never seen him, Chen Deng was also one of the famous scholars in Xuzhou. How could he not know?
"I just arrived today, but it is inconvenient to show up." Chen Deng pointed at Chen Mo and smiled: "The matter of my uncle caused my Chen family to be separated. This time, I came here to ask Brother Mo to return to the Chen family."
"I see." He Jin nodded when he heard it, and his eyes looking at Chen Mo were much softer.
Back then, Chen Qiu was killed for trying to assassinate the eunuch, and the Chen family also fell because of this. Since Chen Mo returned to the Chen family and was recognized by the Chen family, he was naturally opposed to the eunuchs.
"I wonder what important matter Chen Xiaowei suddenly came here for?" He Jin sat down again and asked Chen Mo.
"I shouldn't bother you, but I'm an old friend of Cui Geng, who was under the command of the lieutenant of the upper army. Today, Cui Geng suddenly sent someone to deliver a bamboo note, which is related to the general. I had no choice but to come and tell you." Chen Mo took out the bamboo note from his arms, and a servant came forward to take the bamboo note and handed it to He Jin.
Hearing that it was news from the palace, He Jin's face became serious and he hurriedly took it. Now the queen has to rely on eunuchs to pass on news. Obviously, the queen's situation in the palace is not very good. Now Chen Mo can bring accurate news, which is naturally more credible than Pan Yin.
Opening the bamboo note and looking at the few numbers on the bamboo note, He Jin's face changed slightly and his eyes looked at Chen Mo.
"General, don't doubt it. After this letter is delivered to me, I will come to inform the general immediately." Chen Mo nodded in agreement.
"Gentlemen..." He Jin sighed, handed the bamboo slip to Yuan Shao for him to circulate, and said bitterly: "I have no intention of usurping the throne, but..."
"General, why don't you lead the cavalry to the king and kill the eunuchs?" Yuan Shao narrowed his eyes slightly and looked at He Jin.
"No!" He Miao frowned and said: "How can we, as ministers, lead our troops to attack the imperial city? How is this different from rebellion?"
"What He Miao said is not without reason." He Jin stood up and said in a deep voice: "How can I deceive the king with my ministers? Benchu's words are a bit rash, and I will let Pan Yin go back to report."
At that moment, He Jin went into the side hall and found Pan Yin, asking Pan Yin to tell him that He Jin was worried about the health of His Majesty, and he was sick because of worrying, and it was difficult to get off the bed. After he recovered from the illness, he would go to the palace to apologize.
Pan Yin was relieved, but also a little guilty. He was betraying Jian Shuo by doing this. Jian Shuo treated him well. He returned home worriedly and saw Jian Shuo waiting anxiously outside the palace.
"Where is the butcher?" Jian Shuo saw Pan Yin coming back alone, his face changed, and he quickly stepped forward and grabbed Pan Yin and asked.
"Please forgive me, Lord Shuo!" Pan Yin took a deep breath and saluted Jian Shuo, saying, "The general said that he was not feeling well and could not see Your Majesty. I will apologize after I recover."
"How could this be!?" Jian Shuo frowned and said, "Do you think he is really sick?"
"This..." Pan Yin didn't know how to answer.
"Tell me the truth!" Jian Shuo was furious when he saw this.
"Yes!" Pan Yin hurriedly bowed and said, "The general was entertaining guests at the time, and he didn't look uncomfortable when he met me!"
"Butcher bullies the master, butcher bullies the master!" Jian Shuo cursed.
"Shuo Gong, His Majesty is vomiting blood!" Just when Jian Shuo was anxious, he saw a eunuch hurriedly coming and bowing to Jian Shuo.
Jian Shuo was shocked when he heard it, and hurriedly turned around and rushed into the hall. He saw Liu Hong lying on the couch and vomiting blood, and a group of palace people were scared and pale.
"Your Majesty! Your Majesty!" Jian Shuo hurriedly ran to the couch to help Liu Hong calm down.
"Has He Jin entered the palace?" Liu Hong's eyes were already a little distracted, and he looked blankly at the front and said.
"Your Majesty, wait a moment, that butcher He has already stepped on the carriage and is coming!" Jian Shuo said in a panic.
Liu Hong leaned against the palace wall with Jian Shuo's support. His eyes gradually dimmed and he kept muttering, "Kill him, kill him for me, and help Xie ascend the throne. The Han Dynasty must not fall into the hands of foreign relatives! Kill him... Kill..."
"Your Majesty?" Jian Shuo looked at Liu Hong, who suddenly stopped moving and kept looking at him. His face changed slightly and he called out a few times, but Liu Hong did not respond. He put his finger to Liu Hong's nose with some trembling, and his face turned a little paler. He still did not give up and felt Liu Hong's pulse. Jian Shuo's face turned pale and he knelt beside Liu Hong in a daze, crying, "Your Majesty~"
