Chapter 721: Rebellion in Chang'an (Part 2)
Seeing that Empress Dowager Dong was so eager to make Liu Xie emperor, Wang Yun subconsciously thought that this was a personal move made by Empress Dowager Dong to love her grandson, and there must be more than one courtier who wanted to go with him.
Seeing that the ministers were only discussing but no one objected, Empress Dowager Dong thought that the ministers had acquiesced in the fact that Liu Xie had succeeded to the throne. She immediately said with great joy: "In this case, the new emperor's ceremony must be held as soon as possible..."
"Yes, the new emperor's ceremony must be held as soon as possible, but the successor is not Liu Xie."
He Jin walked into the palace hall with ten attendants. He looked at the Queen Mother Dong above coldly and said in a deep voice: "It's the prince Bian."
Empress Dowager Dong was so angry that she stood up, pointed at He Jin and shouted angrily: "He Jin, how dare you disrespect the late emperor's edict?"
He Jin stared at Empress Dowager Dong coldly and said nothing, but Empress He walked out from behind her calmly and said calmly:
"Mother, I know that you love Xie'er, but you cannot tamper with the late emperor's final edict just because of your own selfishness. In the late emperor's edict, it was Ming Ming Bian'er who was to pass on the throne."
Empress Dowager Dong was completely angered and roared: "Bitch, what did you say? Who tampered with the imperial edict? Say it again?"
Queen He was not angry and said quietly: "Mother, I wonder if the edict in your hand has the seal of the late emperor?"
Empress Dowager Dong's expression suddenly changed. After looking back and forth, she finally asked, "Do you have it in your hand?"
“No, but when the late emperor gave the oral edict, all ten of his ministers were present.”
Seeing He Hou winking at him, Zhang Rang quickly stood up and said in a deep voice: "His Majesty's oral instructions, the prince will inherit the throne, and there must be no mistakes."
Upon hearing this, the ministers all kowtowed and shouted: "I will obey the imperial edict of the late emperor."
When Empress Dowager Dong saw this scene, she was so angry that she couldn't stand still. She pointed at He Jin and others tremblingly, gritted her teeth and said, "You, you guys, this is a correction of the edict, a correction of the edict."
Now that the situation has been decided, He Jin saw this and said calmly: "Wang Situ, do I, a big man, have a law that prohibits the harem from intervening in politics?"
Wang Yun stood up and said calmly: "Reporting to the general, this is indeed the case."
“Then does Empress Dowager Dong’s tampering with the late emperor’s edict count as interfering in politics?”
This is more than just interfering in politics. If it were someone else, it would be a serious crime against the nine tribes, but of course Wang Yun did not dare to say that.
“Although it was an act of interfering in politics, the Queen Mother is exempt from punishment because of her noble status.”
Wang Yun is also a veteran, and no one will be offended by what he says.
Seeing that his plan failed, He Jin had no choice but to say: "Why don't you help the Queen Mother back to the palace quickly?"
The meaning of He Jin's words was actually to imprison Empress Dowager Dong. When the ministers saw that He Jin didn't even pay attention to the Empress Dowager, they couldn't help but tremble in their hearts.
“Let go, I will leave on my own.”
Seeing the fierce reaction of Empress Dowager Dong, He Jin immediately waved his hand to signal the guards not to use violence.
Forcing an old woman too much in front of the civil and military officials of the court was not good for He Jin's reputation.
When Empress Dowager Dong walked up to He Jin, she stared at He Jin and said coldly: "He Jin, you traitor, I will not let you go."
After saying these harsh words, Empress Dowager Dong turned away and left. Naturally, He Jin didn't care at all.
Once Empress Dowager Dong left, the only obstacle to Liu Bian's accession to the throne disappeared, and the rest was naturally his accession to the throne.
Due to Dong Zhuo's invasion of the border areas and Sizhou Hanzhong's intentions unclear, Liu Bian's enthronement ceremony was also extremely simple.
After the ceremony, He Jin began to hesitate about who to recruit to the capital. After all, he alone was no match for Dong Zhuo. In the end, he decided on two places, Ding Yuan and Huangfu Song.
Seeing this, Zhang Rang said: "Why didn't the general recruit Qin Hao, the consort, and Qin Wen, the Marquis of Jin, to the capital? They are all loyal ministers of the Han Dynasty, and they will definitely help the general to repel Dong Zhuo." He Jin shook his head and sneered: " If the Qin family father and son come to Beijing, I don’t know who has the final say in Chang’an.”
Zhang Rang couldn't help but be stunned when he saw this. He didn't understand that He Jin was so afraid of the Qin family. After all, the top priority now was to get Dong Zhuo to withdraw his troops.
"The general can recruit his consort Qin Hao to the capital alone. The most urgent task is to solve the problem of Dong Zhuo first..."
Zhang Rang was interrupted impatiently by He Jin before he finished speaking.
“Could Chang Shi Zhang be a lobbyist of the Qin family?”
Under He Jin’s cold gaze, Zhang Rang finally shut up.
He never expected that He Jin was more afraid of the Qin family than Dong Zhuo.
He Jin would rather ignore Dong Zhuo who was close at hand than let the Qin family and his son enter the capital. This behavior is simply stupid.
Without He Jin's permission, Qin Wen and Qin Hao naturally could not enter Guanzhong without an imperial edict, and Qin Hao's plans were in vain.
Zhang Rang had no good solution for this. After all, he had already caused He Jin's displeasure, and trying to persuade him would probably have the opposite effect.
Nanyang, Wancheng.
When he learned that He Jin not only preferred the near to the distant, recruiting Ding Yuan and Huangfu Song to the capital, but also sent additional garrison troops from Wuguan, Qin Hao was immediately angry and cursed.
“He Jin, you big fool, have you been kicked by a donkey? Are you filled with **** in your head?”
This time, Qin Hao worked hard to prevent Dong Zhuo from entering Beijing.
Why did Qin Wen, Cao Cao, Huangfu Song, and Liu Yan conduct training together at the same time? It was Qin Hao who sent people to lobby.
Under the control of Qin Hao and other five princes, although Dong Zhuo surrounded Guanzhong from three parties, most of his troops and horses stayed in place and did not dare to mobilize. The maximum number of troops that could be used to attack Guanzhong was only one hundred thousand.
If Qin Hao led into Beijing at this time, commanding the Han army in Guanzhong and adding his own Qin army, it would be easy to defeat Dong Zhuo.
Qin Hao entered the capital only to eliminate the threat of Dong Zhuo, and He Jin also consolidated his position. This was a win-win situation.
But He Jin, a big fool, and Dong Zhuo, the bomb, are clearly around him, but he is even more afraid of Qin Hao, who poses no threat. This is simply a late stage of mental retardation.
He Jin's various stupid behaviors made Qin Hao so angry that he didn't know how to scold him. Now Qin Hao finally felt the helplessness of Cao Cao in the original history.
This guy is simply mentally retarded, and we are not the same as those who are mentally retarded.
After you have vented your anger, the problem still needs to be solved.
“Military advisor, what should we do now?” Qin Hao asked with a wry smile.
Liu Bowen sighed: "We can only wait and see what happens. I hope Ding Yuan, Huangfu Song and others can join forces to help He Jin defeat Dong Zhuo." Liu Bowen said helplessly.
It is impossible for Qin Hao to force his way into Chang'an, so why should he place his hopes on Ding Yuan and Huangfu Song?
If Ding Yuan could defeat Dong Zhuo, there would be no eighteen princes in the original history to challenge Dong.
Jizhou is too far away from Guanzhong, and Sizhou is in the hands of Dong Zhuo, so Huangfusong can only take a detour to Bingzhou to Guanzhong, and by the time he arrives, the day lilies are cold.
Qin Hao had already prepared for the worst in his mind. Ding Yuan and Huangfu Song were probably unreliable. If Dong Zhuo really occupied Guanzhong and took control of the court, he would have no choice but to form another alliance to challenge Dong Zhuo.
