Han emperor system

Chapter 177 Changes in the Forbidden Palace
At this time, in a corner of the Jiade Palace, a green starling quietly flew into the darkness. Not long after, Liu Bian knew the situation in the palace. He was not worried about the general He Jin, but began to mobilize People and horses.

A group of shadow guards were sent out by Liu Bian to Empress He's side. After all, Empress He couldn't do anything right now. He was still young, and on the surface he still needed Empress He's support behind the ruling.

At the same time, Liu Bian personally dressed neatly, assembled three hundred guards from the Eastern Palace, and prepared them with full arms. As soon as he gave an order, the guards from the Eastern Palace would accompany him to the Jiade Hall.

However, Liu Bian was not in a hurry, he was waiting for news. Sure enough, not long after, the green starling came back again. It saw the general He Jin rushing into the palace, but was stopped by Sima Panyin at the gate of the palace:

"General, you are not allowed to enter the palace. The Holy Majesty is about to die, and the Empress Dowager Dong conspired with Jian Shuo and others to kill the general first, then abolish the crown prince, and make the prince Xie the new monarch."

He Jin was shocked when he heard this, and quickly thanked him and left. Naturally, he went home to summon all the ministers. Even at this moment, he had the idea of ​​killing all the eunuchs in the palace.

However, Liu Bian did not wait for General He Jin. After knowing that General He Jin returned to the mansion, he set off with three hundred guards from the Eastern Palace. However, they did not go directly to the Jiade Palace, but to Empress He's Yongning Palace.

"Emperor, what happened? How do you dress?"

Empress He was shocked when she saw Liu Bian coming with the guards of the East Palace fully armed, and hurriedly pulled Liu Bian to ask.

"I don't know the mother. Someone in the palace just sent the news that the father is on the verge of death. It is a pity that Jian Shuo concealed the news and sent the forbidden army to guard the Jiade Palace. Only the Queen Mother Dong and the emperor's younger brother went to meet the father. The emperor did not inform our mother and son of the last meeting, so it can be seen that his heart can be punished. The emperor thought about it, but at this moment, my mother and son can only bring the guards of the East Palace to meet the father and the emperor for the last time. Maybe we can still grasp the overall situation. Otherwise, if they rebel against the order and abolish the elders and establish the younger ones, then my mother and son will have no way out."

"How could this be?"

When the matter came to an end, Empress He had no idea at all. Liu Bian had no choice but to do work for her, otherwise she would not agree to break into the Jiade Palace. Disrespect.

At the same time, in the Jiade Palace, Emperor Ling tilted his head amidst the cries of the crowd, and passed away. Empress Dowager Dong immediately burst into tears, calling Hong'er and Hong'er's name, and Liu Xie was also beside her. whimpering.

"Now that the Majesty is dead, what should we do?" Guo Sheng asked, looking at the others.

"The Holy Majesty passed away without leaving a will. We can't justly abolish the Prince Bian and establish a new Prince Association."

"Hmph, now that things have come to an end, we can only do one thing and keep doing the other. For the time being, we will not issue an edict in secret, and we will make an edict to announce how to enter the palace, and kill him to prevent future troubles."

"But didn't you send someone to summon He Jin just now? Why hasn't he come after so long? Does he know something?"

"Send someone to call again. It is impossible for him to know the news of the death of the Holy One. He dare not not come."

Therefore, Jian Shuo once again sent eunuchs to the mansion of General He Jin to summon them, and at the same time secretly ordered the soldiers of the Fifth Battalion of the Forbidden Army to guard the gate of the palace strictly to prevent the arrival of the Yulin army.

Outside the palace gate, after Sima Panyin got the news, he flew a horse to report to the General's Mansion immediately.At this time, General He Jin had summoned many court ministers at home, including Cao Cao, Yuan Shao, He Yu, Xun You, Zheng Tai, Wu Fu, Zhou Wei, Lu Zhi, Chen Lin and others.

"Everyone, I called you here today because I have important business to discuss. Earlier, the palace summoned the general, but Sima Pan Yin told him that it was the ten servants who conspired to kill the general, and then abolished the crown prince and set up a prince's association. The general wants to kill the eunuchs in the palace, what do you think?"

"General, this must not be done. The power of the eunuchs has been formed as early as the previous dynasty, and the eunuchs are huge in the court and involved in a wide range. How can they be killed? General Dou Chen Taifu If you want to punish the eunuch, you will end up being killed because the matter is not kept secret, which will bring disaster to the family, please think carefully about it, General."

The person who spoke was Cao Cao, Lieutenant of Dianjun. In fact, his great-grandfather, Cao Jie, was the head of the eunuch. Later, he adopted his grandfather as his adopted son.

"Hmph, you junior, how do you know about the important affairs of the court? Now the eunuchs want to control the emperor and change the imperial edict at will. Can this general let them do anything wrong?"

He Jin originally hoped that everyone would support his proposal, but Cao Cao objected as soon as he came, so he scolded dissatisfiedly, and it was difficult for others to say anything, because everyone knew that He Jin's temper could not be tolerated. Others pointed out their faults, and it was really not the time to kill all the eunuchs.

"General, Master Sima Panyin is flying to report, just outside the hall."

At this time, the servants of He's mansion ran in quickly and said loudly outside the door, everyone was startled when they heard that Sima Pan was hiding in the forbidden palace, if he came here at this time, something important must have happened.

"General, my lords, the Holy Majesty has passed away."

Before He Jin could speak, Sima Panyin rushed in, speaking to the crowd in a choked voice, which surprised everyone.Then Sima Panyin said quickly:

"The Holy Majesty passed away in the Jiade Palace. Jian Shuo and others blocked the news, and even Empress He and the Crown Prince did not tell them. They discussed and kept the funeral secret, and ordered the general to enter the palace. They wanted to kill the general first to avoid future troubles. And then canonize the Prince Association as the new emperor."

"The imperial decree has arrived, General He Jin accepts the decree."

Before Sima Panyin could finish his words, there was a sudden rush of footsteps outside, followed by a scream, and Sima Panyin hurriedly turned around and hid behind everyone.

General He Jin stood up with everyone, and saw a middle-aged eunuch rushing in, holding a yellow scarf in his hand, and regardless of whether everyone knelt down or not, he opened it and read loudly:
"I am in danger, I urgently order General He Jinaiqing to enter the palace, and entrust the military and state affairs to each other, urgently."

If it hadn't been for Sima Panyin who just came to report, I'm afraid everyone would have thought that the Holy Majesty hadn't passed away. At this moment, General He Jin heard the imperial decree, laughed loudly, stepped forward and grabbed the middle-aged eunuch by the lapel and shouted:
"Nonsense, the Holy Majesty has already passed away in the Jiade Palace, and you waited secretly without mourning, and even pretended to kill the general. Today, the general will kill you first, and then kill all the eunuchs."
