New Story of Lv Bu

: : The Death of Lingdi (3)

In a blink of an eye, it was April. In the capital city of Luoyang, undercurrents were surging, circles surrounded by circles, conspiracy linked conspiracy, everyone was waiting for the final curtain call of this drama, that was the death of the emperor. The emperor has been seriously ill for a few days, and he has been lingering on his bed for several months, and the lamp has been exhausted, but he doesn't know when he can take his last breath.

On the eighth day of April, there was a solar eclipse in broad daylight over the capital city of Luoyang. For the dignitaries of the dynasty who have always believed in the theory of prophecy, this is a great bad news. Tengu eats the sun, which means that the emperor is about to die. Soon, Tai Shiling came to a conclusion. "Tengu eclipse the sun, touch Ziweixing, it will be fierce, and it will be detrimental to the emperor!"

This sentence can no longer be said clearly, the emperor is about to die!

One stone caused a thousand waves of waves, and the major forces in Luoyang City began a new vertical and horizontal stroke, and they discussed behind closed doors all day, preparing to share a piece of the pie when the new emperor ascended the throne. The generals He Jin and Empress He are considered the greatest forces. Ten permanent attendants and eunuchs are in the palace and are in charge of the inner government. Xiaohuangmen Jianshuo is in charge of the Beijing army. There are eight captains under him, and the entire Luoyang city is in him. Under the control. The emperor’s mother, Empress Dowager Dong, and her younger brother, Huqi General Dong Zhong, are also very powerful.

"So, we must obtain military power! Without soldiers in hand, everything is empty talk!" In the general's mansion, He Jin made a final decision! "The general is very kind!" Yuan Shao took the case. "The eight lieutenants of the Beijing Army are in Jian Shuo's hands. After the new emperor ascended the throne, he must immediately get rid of Jian Shuo and take the military power into his hands!"

As soon as Jian Shuo was mentioned, General He Jin's expression immediately became ugly. According to the old rule of this dynasty, the Beijing army was controlled by the general. Unexpectedly, Jian Shuo would be snatched into his hands, it is really inexplicable, weird! However, this Jian Shuo has no one in his eyes, and he often goes against the general He Jin. He hates him so that he can't get his roots, and wants to chop him off in his dreams.

"It was quite true at the beginning! When the new emperor became the throne, the first thing to clean up was Jian Shuo!" He Jin shouted.

Almost at the same time, the emperor in the palace suddenly sat up from his sick couch. "Come here! I want to drink Western Region wine!" Zhang Rang and Zhao Zhong who had been standing by for a long time hurriedly said with a smile: "Your Majesty, you are weak. You can drink Western Region wine a little bit, but you can't add ice. Now!" "Oh!" The emperor nodded helplessly.

After a short while, Shi Changshi and Xiaohuangmen Jianshuo all rushed to hear the news. Seeing that the emperor's complexion seemed very good today, he hurriedly gathered around, staring at the emperor intently. The emperor drank a large sip of Western wine and frowned. Wine without ice was too ugly to drink. "Pass the edict, Prince Liu Xie enters the palace!" "Nuo!" Zhang Rang dragged past a small yellow door and told him to do it quickly, and the small yellow door slipped away.

The emperor seemed to be in good spirits, and he asked some more about the court, before he said nothing. Xiaohuangmen Jianshuo hurriedly stepped forward and said loudly: "Your Majesty, now that Youzhou Zhang Chun has been appointed the leader, the chaos is over, the world is solid and clear, and the dock is built. The yellow towel is already at the end of the road. It is just that Xiliang Han Sui and Ma Teng are rampant. A general must be selected and sent to the west to town Chang'an. Only in this way can we clear the Xiqiang rebels in one fell swoop."

These words were discussed by Jian Shuo with the Shichang attendant, with only one purpose, which was to take the opportunity to get He Jin out of Chang'an. The emperor hasn't survived for a few days, and within ten days, the court situation will change drastically. If He Jin is not in Luoyang City, the ten permanent attendants can do whatever they want. In the story of this dynasty, foreign relatives and eunuchs alternate in power. If the general He Jin is in power alone, their death date will not be far away. For the present plan, it is best to get He Jin out of Chang'an.

The emperor stayed for a while, and seemed to hesitate a little. "Well, isn't there Huangfu Song in Chang'an? A few months ago, he broke the Xiliang rebels." Hearing the emperor's words, Zhang Rang hurriedly preliminarily said: "Your Majesty! The general He Jinwen's martial arts is extremely powerful. Okay, the only flaw is that he never actually led soldiers. With Huangfu's righteousness, he will not be able to defeat the battle."

Zhang Rang said this sentence to the heart of the emperor. If you can't defeat the battle, that's a great victory! The general He entered Chang'an. As long as he stood by and ruled by doing nothing, there must be a great contribution waiting for him. With a hand in quelling Xiqiang, the mouths of the gang of civil servants and generals in the court were blocked, and it would never be said that He Suigao was a butcher.

However, the emperor changed his mind. He had been sick for many days, and when He Sui was out of Beijing, who should take care of the political affairs of the court? Thinking left and right, it is still difficult to make up his mind. Seeing that the emperor was hesitating, Zhao Zhong stepped forward and added a fire. "Your Majesty is in the prosperous spring and autumn, and Fuzuo is long. Fortunately, Chang'an is not far from Luoyang, the capital of the capital, and you can arrive in two days. If your Majesty misses the general, you can send an edict to call him back at any time. Your Majesty is surrounded by old slaves waiting for you! "

The emperor finally heard Zhao Zhong's words, but what he heard was the second half. Looking at my body, I must be able to support it for a few months, isn't it the way I have come over the past few months. In the unlikely event that you can't support it anymore, He Jin can be recalled from Chang'an City with an edict. It is worth it to spend a month or two in exchange for He Suigao's military exploits!

So the emperor readily agreed. "Alright, pass the edict, the general He Jinjian trains soldiers and horses, leaves the town of Chang'an, and marches to Han Sui, Ma Teng!" Upon hearing this, the ten permanent attendants became ecstatic. As long as He enters or leaves Beijing, I will wait. There is a way to prevent him from coming back! In this way, the support of the new emperor ascending the throne is ours! When the time comes, you can free your hands and clean up what you are going to do.

At this time, Xiaohuangmen informed that "Donghou" was coming. "Donghou" refers to Liu Xie, the second son of the prince, who was fostered in the Queen Mother Dong's palace since childhood. In contrast to "Shi Hou", "Shi Hou" refers to Liu Bian, the eldest son of the emperor, who was fostered in the family of Shi Hou since he was young. In the early years of the emperor, he could not grow up many children, so after he had children, he had to be fostered outside the palace.

Liu Xie Zi Bohe is only seven years old this year. Liu Xie's mother, Wang Meiren, named Wang Rong (later posthumously named "Queen of Linghuai"), is the granddaughter of Wang Bao and the daughter of Wang Zhang. Born in a famous family, his manners are elegant, coupled with his good looks and a well-proportioned figure, he won the emperor's favor and regarded it as a treasure.

Although Empress He was very beautiful, she was born in a butcher's house, and she was inferior to Wang Meiren who was born in a famous family. In addition, Empress He was jealous, and was disliked by the emperor. She just got married and had no choice but to give in. When Wang Meiren was pregnant, she had to secretly abort in order to save her life. Unexpectedly, it didn't work, the child was still born.

After all, Emperor He became jealous, fearing that the mother of Wang Meiren would be expensive for her son, and instructed people to secretly kill Wang Meiren by poison. When the emperor heard the news, he went to the harem and saw that Wang Meiren’s limbs were black and black, and she knew she was poisoned and died. He hurriedly traced the murderer and quickly found out who the queen did. The emperor couldn't help being furious, intending to dethrone Empress He.

But Empress He had long bought the eunuchs such as Yuyang Hou Cao Jie, and the eunuchs knelt down together, crying bitterly, why the empress interceded, the emperor couldn't bear it, so he had to pardon Empress He. Liu Xie was not yet full at this time, and the emperor was afraid of leaving Liu Xie in the harem and being murdered, so he took him to Yongle Palace and asked his mother, Empress Dowager Dong, to raise him. Since then, Liu Xie has become a foreigner according to Dong's family.

The emperor had two sons, the eldest son Liu Bian, who was 12 years old at this time and was born to Empress He, and the second son was Liu Xie. But Liu Bian's demeanor was frivolous, and he lacked the majestic temperament that a monarch should have. Liu Xie grew up in Yongle Palace since he was a child, and was carefully raised by the Queen Mother Dong. He has a dignified manner and is deeply loved by the Emperor Ling. Coupled with the death of her mother, the Queen Beauty, inevitably, the Spirit Emperor has a heart of reclusiveness.

As soon as Liu Xie arrived, the emperor burst into laughter, and shouted: "Quick pass! Quick pass!" After a while, Liu Xie entered the hall and quickly ran to the emperor's side, respectfully and respectfully bowed to the emperor's side. Then he lifted his body and took a close look at the emperor's complexion. "Your Majesty is really good today! It can be seen that the holy emperor has the blessing of Bailing, and in time, he will be as healthy as ever!"

Although this sentence is a cliche of eulogizing the holy, it is said in a peaceful and tactful manner. A flattery makes the person who is photographed feel very comfortable and does not feel abrupt. The emperor was extremely comfortable when he heard it, and quickly pulled Liu Xie over and let him sit next to him. "People say that my son is very clever, and this is true!"

The emperor asked Liu Xie about reading and writing, suddenly tears in his eyes and a loud voice of grief. "My son! Liu Bian is frivolous, not like a man. I have always liked you, and I intend to make you a prince, and give you the great man thousands of miles. I will rest assured in a hundred years! It is just that the court has made up his mind and wants to I will stand forever, and I will leave you a motherless child in a hundred years, but what should I do!"

Zhang Rang, Zhao Zhong and others wept when they heard this, but they had no choice but to persuade them. After a long while, the emperor finally stopped crying, took Liu Xie's hand, and called Jian Shuo, Zhang Rang, Zhao Zhong and others. "After a hundred years, the only thing I can't let go of is the prince son Liu Xie. Now I give him to you, you must take care of him for me!"

Jian Shuo, Zhang Rang, Zhao Zhong and others knelt down quickly, tears raining down. "Your Majesty, don't worry, the old slave waits to die, but also takes care of the emperor's second son!" After a long time, the emperor fell asleep. The ten permanent attendant quietly exited the dormitory, making three turns and two turns before going to the secret room to make a plan.

"It seems that your Majesty will not be able to support it for a few days. What should I do? The **** and foreign relatives in this dynasty alternate in power, Yin Jian is not far away!" Zhao Zhong wailed and said with tears in his eyes. Snapped! Jian Shuo slapped the case with his hand: "I am waiting to receive your majesty's great favor, and I will definitely fulfill your majesty's wish! On the day of your majesty's death, I will slay He Jin and support the second son, Liu Xie, as his successor! Harmony, I am willing to take it by myself, and will never involve the princes!"

"This remark is great!" Shi Changshi said in unison.
