Han emperor system

Chapter 176
On the last day of March, when Liu Bian went to greet the Emperor Ling, the system suddenly reminded him that the last temporary mission of this side mission had started:

"Temporary task: kill Jian Shuo after Lingdi's death, ascend to the throne of God, and take over the imperial army in half a month."

"Mission rewards: one small level of force, one thousand points of merit, one hundred points of faith, and the emperor's scepter."

"Mission punishment: reduce force by two small levels, deduct [-] points of merit, [-] points of faith, and lose the status of prince."

"Mission Progress: 0%"

After receiving this temporary mission prompted by the system, Liu Bian was silent for a long time. He knew that Emperor Ling's life would end within half a month, and his own destiny would also change within half a month.

Of course, even if he doesn't take the initiative to do anything, he can still become the emperor of Han like Liu Bian in history, but in that case, this temporary task cannot be completed, so Liu Bian decided to proceed according to his own method. At the same time, completely control the armed forces of the imperial army.

However, during this period of time, Liu Bian discovered the changes in the Forbidden Army. Cao Cao and Yuan Shao basically lost control of the Second Battalion Forbidden Army. Concentrated on the communication with the important officials of the court, he would appear in the mansion of General He Jin almost every day.

And Jian Shuo is also unpredictable. He dispatched five battalions of imperial guards to guard the Forbidden Palace. Among them, the one in charge of the core area is his own upper battalion, Xia Mou and Feng Fang's second battalion, and Gan Shuo. Ning's right assistant battalion and Chunyuqiong's right school battalion were in charge of guarding the outside of the palace gate.

In addition, Cao Cao's Dian army camp, Yuan Shao's middle army camp, and Xu Chu's lower army camp were left in Xiyuan by him. Xu Chu was temporarily in charge of commanding the soldiers of the third battalion, and secretly guarded the Wanjin Hall in Xiyuan, which was collected by Emperor Ling. place of treasure.

However, what he didn't know was that at least nearly 4000 of the [-] soldiers in the Eighth Battalion of the Forbidden Army have secretly sworn allegiance to His Royal Highness, and nearly half of the remaining nearly [-] soldiers With a wait-and-see attitude in mind, there are only about a thousand people who are loyal to Jian Shuo and Shi Changshi.

Jian Shuo thought that he would be safe by arranging nearly 2000 soldiers from his upper battalion and the left assistant battalion of Xia Mou and Feng Fang who he trusted most, and the third battalion of the left school battalion deep in the forbidden palace. Among the two thousand soldiers, almost half are His Royal Highness's people.

In addition to Gan Ning's right assistant camp and Chun Yuqiong's right school camp, more than 200 of them are also loyal to His Royal Highness, and they can take control of the forbidden palace at any time, so that the conspiracy of the ten permanent servants cannot succeed.

However, before the time came, Liu Bian secretly ordered all the imperial guards not to move rashly, and he sent the gray eagle to remotely monitor the situation in the entire palace. In addition, the green starling went deep into the forbidden palace, always paying attention to the ten servants, especially the yellow guards. The movement of the door Jian Shuo.

On the night of April [-]th, Emperor Ling was on his deathbed, but Jian Shuo and others controlled the news. Even Empress He didn't know about it, let alone notified Prince Liu Bian to be there. They only brought Empress Dowager Dong and Prince Liu Xie with them. Come before Lingdi.

"Emperor, how are you? Mother is here to see you."

Empress Dowager Dong is the biological mother of Emperor Ling, but the relationship between mother and child has always been not good, especially the relationship between Empress Dowager Dong and Empress He is not good, so Emperor Ling has rarely visited Empress Dowager Dong in recent years.

However, after all, it was a mother and son, and seeing her son dying at such a young age, Empress Dowager Dong still wept silently, tightly grasping Emperor Ling's hand, and sobbed.

"Father, the emperor is here to greet you."

The prince Liu Xie was already nine years old, and he was a little sensible at this time. He seemed to know that his father was going to leave him forever, so he also crawled on the side of the bed and wiped his tears while pulling the dragon robe of Emperor Ling.

"Mother, I don't have much time. It's the emperor's fault for neglecting my mother all these years. From now on, I hope that my mother will cherish her and take care of Xie'er for me."

Emperor Ling seemed to have regained some energy at this time, and recognized the person in front of him clearly. Two big tears rolled out from the corners of his eyes. Looking at the pale smile on Empress Dowager Dong's face, it looked very strange.

Afterwards, Emperor Ling looked around for something, he naturally hoped that his favorite Empress He and Prince Liu Bian would be by his side, but he didn't know that Jian Shuo hadn't informed them at all, so he couldn't help showing disappointment in his eyes look.

"Prince, are you looking for that slut? She is not here at all. Her mind has already flown to the Golden Luan Hall, dreaming of her dream of being the queen mother. At the beginning, my mother advised you that you didn't listen, and you are very fond of her." This bitch, but now that your life is at stake, she doesn't want to stay by your side. And the prince you established, I'm afraid he is trying on the dragon robe now, he is also a heartless little bastard, thanks to you Then believe him. Back then, Xie'er's mother was so gentle and charming, but it was a pity that that bitch and jealous woman died. Now look at Xie'er, how well-behaved and sensible, why can't you make Xie'er the crown prince? What? Your majesty, it is still too late, you immediately issue an edict to abolish the prince Liu Bian, demote him to a commoner, and appoint Xie'er as the prince to inherit the great Han country. In the future, the great Han will surely enjoy peace for generations to come."

Ling listened, staring blankly at his mother, as if he couldn't believe what she said, he opened his mouth but couldn't say anything, just shook his head.

At this time, in the palace, apart from the Empress Dowager Dong and the prince Liu Xie, the other ten servants and their confidantes, and some court ladies and eunuchs were driven outside by them.

"Your Majesty, make a decision on this matter early. Prince Liu Bian has misbehaved. He is not as refined and restrained as Prince Xie. The elder should be abolished and the younger should be replaced." Zhao Zhong knelt down beside him, kowtowed and shouted.

"That's right, Your Majesty, only the Prince's Association is the true Son of Heaven. Liu Bian's licentiousness is excessively addicted to wine and sex. If he succeeds to the throne, he must be a foolish emperor who will eventually harm the country." Zhang Rang also knelt down next to him and said.

"My lord, we are willing to help the prince Xie ascend to the great position, rule the world, and create a foundation for the great man." The other ten permanent attendants including the Zhonghuangmen, Xiaohuangmen, and Dachangqiu also knelt down and begged.

"Your Majesty, if you want to establish the Prince's Association, you must abolish Prince Bian, and if you want to abolish Prince Bian, you must first punish General He Jin. I then summoned General He Jin to the palace to entrust the funeral, took the opportunity to kill him, and then the big thing will happen." Sure."

Jian Shuo of the Zhonghuang Gate watched as Emperor Ling closed his eyes, glanced at the ten servants around him, and said sure enough, he immediately sent eunuchs to the General's Mansion to summon General He Jin, saying that Emperor Ling wanted to entrust He ordered him to enter the palace immediately.
