Launching a mutiny when the Son of Heaven was seriously ill and about to die was indeed the best opportunity to eradicate the traitors and relatives, but the risk was the greatest. Once the traitorous eunuchs and their relatives take advantage of the unstable situation when the Son of Heaven has just gone to the new emperor, the scholars will surely become the ministers of the country in the mouths of the traitors and relatives, and will lose their righteousness and popular support.

But if they lose this excellent opportunity in front of them, the scholars may no longer have the opportunity and strength to eradicate the traitors and relatives. After the Son of Heaven returns to heaven, the general must control the imperial system with the traitorous eunuch, and the traitorous eunuch will definitely shake hands with the general in order to survive. In the future, these two powers will not only pose a huge threat to the survival of the scholars, but also exacerbate the country's troubles, and may even directly lead to the fall of the Han Kingdom.

He Hao sighed in frustration. In fact, from the moment the Son of Heaven decreed that he was seriously ill and refused to canonize the crown prince, this opportunity had been lost. At this time, the general already had a better way to support the emperor and save his life and power, and he would never risk the burning of jade to lead his army back to Beijing to launch a mutiny. At this time, the lieutenants in the palace have become important figures in the Han Kingdom, and their support will directly determine whether the palace is dominated by the queen mother or the queen, and will directly affect which prince will inherit and continue the Han imperial system. In He Jin's eyes, they are no longer enemies to kill quickly, but relatives who can easily gain power and wealth.

Now that the general has troops outside, he is eyeing Luoyang, as long as he is not an idiot, he will make the wisest choice. It is an unchangeable fact that the eldest prince inherited the unification, and in order to strive for the greatest and most interests for themselves, before the eldest prince inherited the unification, there was bound to be a battle between the open and the dark, but this could no longer affect the overall situation, let alone cause Luoyang shock.

In this way, a bloody storm was easily resolved by the dying Son of Heaven. This battle for the emperor was picked out by the Son of Heaven, and the crisis in Luoyang was also deliberately caused by the Son of Heaven, but when he was about to die, he miraculously restored all this. He Hao couldn't help but feel a little afraid in addition to being frustrated and disappointed. The Son of Heaven is so wise, did he already have a solution to the mutiny? Does he want to kill heartily like himself, and be a big man?

"Who will inherit the throne?" He Hao stared at Yuan Kui, who was slowly pacing back and forth in the room with his hands in his hands, and asked softly.

He asked this with great significance. The Son of Heaven seems to have given up the battle for the imperial throne out of reluctance, but did he really give up?

Why did the Son of Heaven let Yuan Kui serve as the general of the Hou Dynasty when Luoyang was most critical, and he was in charge of the affairs of Shangshu for the time being? Why didn't the Son of Heaven destroy the ministers' best strategy, leaving behind a hidden danger for the new emperor and the officials to threaten the scholars? Why did the Son of Heaven tell Yuan Kui to ask the princess to go north to recruit the general of Peking University to go south when he couldn't control the situation in Luoyang? Although the Son of Heaven restored the situation in Luoyang to the past, he left behind a huge variable, what does this variable mean for the future Great Han Kingdom?

In He Hao's view, the Son of Heaven did not give up the battle for imperial domination at all. On the contrary, the Son of Heaven skillfully passed on his unfinished business to the scholars. In the future, the generals and lieutenants will inevitably join forces to wield imperial power. In this case, the Son of Heaven took Liu Yu as the lieutenant to sit in the court, and Yuan Kui as the general to participate in the Shangshu affairs to take charge of the government, pushing the power of the clan and the power of the gate lord clan together, so that the two powers were forced to merge into one due to the struggle for imperial power. As a result, the power of the scholars was greatly enhanced, and with the strong support of Li Hong, the general of the expedition to the north of Xinjiang, and Huangfu Song, the left general of the western Xinjiang, the power of the scholars immediately surpassed the generals and lieutenants. At that time, all the scholars needed was the right time.

What happened after the scholars killed the eunuchs and eradicated their relatives? The scholars only have the only choice of the little prince. Otherwise, what awaits the scholars will be a frenzied killing frenzy by the emperor and the emperor's mother for revenge or survival.

"Now or in the future?" Yuan Kui hesitated for a long time, then looked up at the gray sky outside the window, and asked in a low voice.

"In the future."

"In the future......" Yuan Kui smiled bitterly, "In the future?" In the future, we will still be the courtiers of the Han Dynasty, and we will still be loyal to His Majesty the Emperor, how can we do something rebellious that everyone and God are angry about? Therefore, Your Majesty gave me a secret decree to let the princess personally go north to recruit the general of the Great University to go south, so that the emperor can be abolished and a new monarch can be established, but can we let the general of the Great Expedition go south? Can Liu Yu really control Li Hong? The Son of Heaven is gone, who else in this world can control Li Hong? ”

He Hao was speechless, with a look of helplessness and pain.

"We need time, we need to think long-term, we need to be foolproof." Yuan Kui sighed, "Take your time, for the trust of Your Majesty, and for the rise and fall of the Great Han Kingdom, we must come up with a foolproof strategy." ”

Now in Luoyang, the most powerful person is Yuan Kui. He now monopolizes the government, and he can even recruit Huangfu Song's Xiliang Army, Dong Zhuo's Northern Army, and the Xiyuan Army in Beijing to directly kill the traitorous eunuchs and generals. Of course, in fact, this is impossible, now the situation in Luoyang is extremely tense, domestic rebellions are rising one after another, and there is a big war in northern Xinjiang, if the matter of the imperial unification leads to domestic chaos, the Han Kingdom may collapse instantly. The top priority is stability, and stability is everything.

Yuan Kui sat down beside He Hao and said worriedly: "Once Your Majesty returns to heaven, Empress He will become Empress Dowager He, she will come to the court, and she will urgently summon the general back to Beijing, and discuss with the general and the traitorous eunuchs who will inherit the unification." At this time, the eunuchs were forced to obey and help Empress Dowager He under pressure from us and the great general, and the general may be able to quickly take power and control the inner and outer courts. In this way, we are very passive, and it is very likely that we will be attacked by the generals and traitorous eunuchs, and we will never recover. Therefore, you must personally rush to the general's side, and delay his return to Beijing as long as possible, so that we can calmly arrange, so that the Empress Dowager He has to rely on us and the traitor to control the overall situation. In this way, after proclaiming Shi Hou as emperor, we can quickly control the inner and outer courts, and firmly restrain the power of the great general, so as to force his power to expand violently in a short period of time, and win enough time for us to eradicate the traitors in the future. ”

"But in this way, the forces of the traitors will take advantage of the situation, and we may not be able to control the inner court." He Hao said worriedly, "The traitorous eunuch is very powerful, and it will be very unfavorable to us in the future." ”

"In the inner court, we only need to control Shangshutai, and at the same time, take this opportunity to quickly strip off the military power that was originally subordinate to the Taiwei Mansion, and temporarily put it in charge of my Hou General's Mansion, and then return to the Taiwei Mansion when Lord Taiwei Liu Yu returns to Beijing in the future." Yuan Kui said with a solemn expression, "As long as we control the Outer Court and the Monk Shutai, there will be no problems with all major affairs of the country, which is the foundation of stabilizing the Han Society." ”

"As for the inner court, the rest of the Taiwanese government is still controlled by eunuchs. Moreover, we must make appropriate concessions to make the traitorous eunuchs more powerful. When the new monarch succeeds to the throne and Luoyang is stable, the general's power is restricted, and he will inevitably be unbearable. At that time, the general needed us to govern the world, especially now when the country was in danger, he did not dare to challenge us, but would be constrained by us. Therefore, he had to solve the inner court first and find a way to control the imperial power first. Once the general controls the imperial power, he can do whatever he wants, and he can attack us at any time to control the internal and external courts and take charge of the country. ”

"Therefore, although the traitors are powerful, the first thing they have to deal with is not us, but the general. The more they fight, the better it will be for us. When the Northern Xinjiang War is over and the general of Zhengbei recovers the border counties, our opportunity will come. ”

He Hao pondered for a long time, shook his head and said, "It's too difficult." What we want, the general will think of as well. As long as the general rushes back to Luoyang in time, he can quickly control the imperial power without much effort, what reason does he have to miss such a good opportunity in vain? Could it be that he was seriously ill too? ”

Yuan Kui sighed and asked, "Is there a way to prevent the general from coming to Beijing?" You must know that when the general enters Beijing will have a direct bearing on our survival, and even more so on the safety of the Han Dynasty. ”

He Hao smiled and said, "Didn't the lord just tell me to tell the general to quickly enter Mengjin?" The general arrived in Mengjin, which is close to Luoyang, how to stop it? There is no way, only after His Majesty returns to heaven, urge him to enter Beijing as soon as possible to discuss the emperor's plan. ”

Yuan Kui looked at He Hao calmly, waiting for him to continue. He knew that Ho Hao had a good plan.

"Your Majesty has summoned 20,000 Xiyuan troops back to Beijing, and 20,000 southern troops are stationed to guard the palace, and there are currently 40,000 troops in Luoyang, which is impregnable. If we persuade Jian Shuo to requisition all the remaining 20,000 Xiyuan troops to garrison the pass north of Luoyang, and then order Dong Zhuo to lead the 20,000 Northern Army to Fenglingdu, then what is the use of the 20,000 horses that the general brought to Mengjin? Does he dare to lead an army into Beijing without permission? ”

Yuan Kui was silent.

"Since the general's army has lost its threat to us, what will he rely on after entering Beijing? At this time, he couldn't believe that we would help him, the only thing he could believe was the two thousand disciples in the Great General's Mansion, and the one thousand disciples in the Che Cavalry General He Miao's Mansion, that's all. The adults can let Jian Shuo order Cao Cao, the captain of the military academy, and Wu Qiong, the captain of the city gate, to each lead the troops and horses to control the two mansions. ”

"Although the general has no soldiers and horses, he can also rely on the Empress Dowager He and the traitors in the palace to completely control the imperial power." Yuan Kui frowned and said, "This plan still can't prevent the general from entering the palace. ”

"Yes, this plan really can't prevent the general from entering the palace, but as long as the general enters the palace, his life will be unprotected, and the traitors can hunt down and kill the general at any time." He Hao smiled, "But the traitors will never kill the general." At this time, as long as they kill the general, Luoyang will definitely fall into chaos, and we will have an excuse to take the opportunity to kill them, so they will never do it, except for one person, that is, Xiaohuangmen Jian Shuo. Among the many traitors, the only one who wants to resolutely kill He Jin is Jian Shuo. ”

"Jian Shuo is His Majesty's henchman, in control of the 40,000 Xiyuan Army, and he has the support of the Empress Dowager Dong and the hussar generals behind him. As long as he kills He Jin, he can support Dong Hou as emperor, and the ministers in the court will not turn against him for the time being because of their promise to His Majesty, on the contrary, they will help him. Jian Shuo's existence directly threatens the safety of the general, after the new emperor succeeds to the throne, the first thing the general wants to kill is him, so now Jian Shuo must kill He Jin, otherwise he will be killed by He Jin. ”

"The general has no troops available after entering Beijing, and we are eyeing him on the side, what will the general do if Jian Shuo suddenly wants to kill him?" He Hao said, "For the sake of his own safety, the best way for the general is, of course, to hide in the military camp and support the troops, although staying out of the matter made him temporarily lose the best opportunity to seize power, but it did not cause much damage to him, but let him occupy a great initiative." ”

Yuan Kui thought for a long time, lowered his head and said, "It's just that in this way, the general is bound to be more eager to kill Jian Shuo in order to seize control of the Xiyuan Army and solve the threat from within the palace. As soon as Jian Shuo died, the Queen Mother lost her protection, and her life was in danger. ”

He Hao sighed: "Once the Son of Heaven returns to heaven, Empress Dowager Dong and Jian Shuo are sourceless water, although they seem to be noble and powerful, but in fact they are vulnerable, He Jin must put them to death to prevent future troubles." In the current situation, it will be very difficult for us to save the Empress Dowager Dong, unless Jian Shuo dies soon. As soon as Jian Shuo dies and Empress Dowager Dong loses her support, her threat to He Jin will be gone, so we can try our best to get her to leave Luoyang quickly and return to Hejian Country. As long as the Empress Dowager Dong leaves Luoyang, Xiao Donghou's life will be saved. If something happens to Xiao Donghou, we will be in trouble in the future. ”

Yuan Kui asked in a low voice, "You mean to let me talk to Jian Shuo to strengthen his heart to kill He Jin quickly?" ”

"Yes, although Jian Shuo wants to kill He Jin, Zhao Zhong and the other old traitors don't want to see He Jin die immediately, so they will definitely stop him to save He Jin's life. In this way, He Jin was temporarily driven out of Luoyang, and the first thing he did next time he entered Beijing was to kill Jian Shuo. As long as Jian Shuo is executed as soon as possible, Empress Dowager Dong should be able to return to Hejian Kingdom safely. ”

Yuan Kui praised: "This plan is very good, I will enter the palace to convene the ministers of Shangshutai to discuss the matter, and then talk to Jian Shuo in private." You go north to meet the general. ”
