"What? You repeat, Ben was assassinated in the beginning? At the top of the lobby, He Jin's face was full of disbelief.

He knew that it was impossible for the housekeeper below to lie to him, but he would still subconsciously ask and confirm it like this. After seeing the butler nodding and repeating it again, He Jin's face was already blue and covered with thick clouds, so gloomy that it seemed to be able to drip water at any time.

Unexpectedly, He Jin didn't expect that on such an ordinary day, after a routine meeting, Yuan Shao would be assassinated after leaving his mansion. Almost without any evidence, He Jin locked the mastermind behind the scenes on the body of the Ten Standing Attendants, and there were only Ten Standing Servants who were so unscrupulous in Luoyang City!

Otherwise, there is no need for others to assassinate Yuan Shao, even if Yuan Shao has a grudge against someone, his enemy will not dare to do it. The fourth and third princes of the Yuan family, with a prominent family background, and now Yuan Shaoqi's uncle is still in the position of the Taifu, who can touch him, who dares to touch him? As soon as he moved, the court shook, and under the anger of the Yuan family, the murderer could not escape safely.

There are only ten permanent servants, and Yuan Shao, as his right-hand man, is a thorn in their side. Only that group of eunuchs would be so unscrupulous and have so much energy in Luoyang City.

Fortunately, Yuan Shao was fine, otherwise he He Jin would not be able to say anything, and he would not be able to explain anything to the Yuan family. With the energy of the Yuan family, once he has a dislike for himself, he will lose a force that he can rely on before he can compete with the Ten Standing Servants.

Now it's Yuan Shao, so next time, is it where he entered?

The anger was irrepressibly burning in his heart, and even the butler standing below could feel the flames burning on He Jin's body now. He Jin now almost has an impulse to fight to the death with the soldiers of the Fuzhong family and the ten permanent servants. It's just that the rest of his sanity made He Jin think of half of the army in the West Park led by Jian Shuo, and he suppressed the impulse in his heart, because even if Yuan Shao and the other captains are now in control of the other half, the victory or defeat is only five or five, and he still needs to be more sure.

"Butler, you tell the person who came, let him go back and tell Benchu, that I will visit him in the afternoon."

As soon as he said it, He Jin temporarily changed his mind, Yuan Shao was assassinated, and now his entry and exit are also dangerous. When it's not necessary, it's better for him to go out as little as possible.

"No, no, I'd better wait for the next time he comes to the house, and I'll tell him in person. In this way, let the man go back and tell Ben Chu for me, that I will definitely collect this account from the ten permanent servants on his behalf. ”

"Plus!" He Jin stopped the butler who was about to retreat.

"Tell the soldiers in the house to strengthen their vigilance during this period of time and pay attention to the changes outside the house."

"Yes!" The butler replied respectfully, and then retreated.

After the housekeeper left, He Jin hurriedly walked towards the study. It turned out that he still had some hesitation to transfer foreign troops into Beijing, so that the assassination of Zhuzhou would gather in Luoyang City and punish the ten permanent servants, and now that the assassination of Yuan Shao had happened, He Jin made up his mind.

Move! We must eradicate the Ten Constant Servants as soon as possible, otherwise he will not even sleep well!

"General!"

"General!"

Cao Cao dismounted, and the two soldiers guarding the upper city ladder shouted respectfully, and one soldier came forward, led the horse for Cao Cao, and pulled him to the stable set up on the side. Cao Cao raised his feet and was about to follow the city ladder to the city wall, but he stopped after just a few steps.

"Who?" Turning around, one of his hands was already pressed against the hilt of the green sword at his waist.

The soldier next to him also became vigilant in an instant, and took a step forward, the spear in his hand facing the comer, ready to stab at any time.

When he really saw the person coming, Cao Cao relaxed, and the hand that pressed on the hilt of the sword was released again. Waving his hand, he motioned to the soldier next to him not to be nervous.

"Why are you here?" Cao Cao asked out loud.

"There are some things that I have to come." Yun Ting said, with a pigeon resting on his shoulder. From time to time, the left hand grabs a few grains from the handful of grains in his right hand and brings them to the pigeon's mouth, and the pigeon pecks at the grain.

"What's the matter?" Cao Cao frowned, looked around again, and after realizing that this was not a good place to talk, he pointed to the city wall behind him. "Let's go up there and talk as we go."

"It's fine." Yun Ting nodded, stepped on the stairs first, and walked up step by step.

He had just received a letter from the princes of the Beacon Opera and rushed back from Taoyuan Village, feeling like a world away, although the peaceful and calm and comfortable environment of Taoyuan Village made him like it very much, but after stepping into Luoyang City, he quickly changed his state. From a state of travel, it quickly changed to a wartime state, and although the Qingyu sword was hidden in its sheath and carried on its back, it was ready to unsheath and kill the enemy at any time.

He thought it would be a little later, but he didn't want the ten permanent servants to give him much time at all, so he chose to do it during this time period. Not only from the letters from the princes of the Beacon Theater, the letter that the pigeon brought to Taoyuan Village, but also the letter brought by the pigeon after he returned to Luoyang City.

One after the other, there were several days apart, but in a few days, the situation had reached the point of tension. On the way to find Cao Cao, Yun Ting also received a message from his senior brother Shi A's subordinates, and learned about Yuan Shao's attack in the city.

Coupled with the poisoning of Liu Wei by the Ten Standing Attendants, the two events together already represent that the Ten Standing Servants are preparing to launch a coup d'état. There is not much time left for them, which is also what Yun Ting hopes, as long as the time to solve it is fast enough, when Dong Fatzi enters Beijing, when the overall situation has been decided, he will return to Liangzhou in disgrace.

Under such persecution from the Ten Standing Attendants, no matter how stupid He Jin is, he will not sit still. With He Jin's participation, the chances of their side winning have also been greatly strengthened.

"What's the matter?" Cao Cao kept up with Yun Ting's footsteps, his light and fast steps slowing down as he stepped on the same level of stairs as Yun Ting.

Cao Cao felt the eagerness emanating from Yun Ting's body, and in the same way, he who had been in contact with Yun Ting for a period of time, and he also understood that Yun Ting was not the kind of person who had no purpose. When the clouds come, it must not be a small matter, it is a big thing, and this big thing is still urgent.

"The Ten Standing Servants poisoned the diet of the prince in the palace." Cloud Thunder Road.

"What! How did they do that? Cao Cao's face changed greatly, and his body couldn't help but tremble. It's not fear, it's anger, it's anger.

But soon, his anger faded, and listening to Yun Ting's tone, the prince must be fine. No matter how angry he is now, it won't help, things have happened, the wolf ambition of the ten permanent servants is obvious, instead of being angry, it is better to spend the effort of being angry where it should be used.

"Why don't you dare?" Yun Ting sneered, stopped, and turned his head to look at Cao Cao very seriously.

"You should know the reason why the prince has not been identified as the crown prince today."

"Yes. His Majesty favored the Prince's Association, and there were many plans to make the Prince's Association the crown prince, but they were all rejected under the opposition of the queen's mother and the ministers. Cao Cao replied.

Similarly, the ministers, including the generals, have also asked for the appointment of the prince as the crown prince at the court meeting many times, and at the same time, the queen has exerted her strength in the harem. It's just that under the deliberate delay of the Son of Heaven, this matter is also over. Yun Ting followed Cao Cao's words and said.

Even if he is not an aborigine, as a player, Yun Ting has a very clear grasp of the direction of history. Not to mention, the history of the game now is not much deflected, and he has seen and heard in the previous life, and Yun Ting knows very well about the fact that Emperor Han Ling did not establish a prince.

"So, you should know what's going on now, right?" Yun Ting asked again.

"What's the matter?" Cao Cao's face was confused, and he also looked at Yun Ting, very confused.

He thought of the unusual quietness of the Ten Standing Servants recently, and then thought of the Ten Standing Servants choosing to poison the prince, and suddenly understood something.

"You mean, they got orders from His Majesty?" Cao Cao was really stunned at this time.

There is only one possibility, otherwise it is impossible to explain that the Ten Standing Servants would choose to poison the prince in such a cruel way. Of course, maybe this order was not given by His Majesty, but His Majesty's order must be to let the Ten Standing Servants help the Prince Xie ascend to the throne. Otherwise, this will not explain the fundamental purpose of the Ten Standing Servants to do this, because even if the Ten Standing Servants forge the Holy Decree, they will be easily exposed, and only the real Holy Decree, the Imperial Decree, will make them have such a reliance.

Yun Ting nodded and said, "Of course." Do you think there will be a second explanation? ”

"When the Son of Heaven woke up for a period of time, he once summoned three of the ten permanent attendants, but he didn't even go to see the queen. During that time, there was no one else in the dormitory, and no one would know what was going on inside. ”

"Oh, yes. The three of the ten permanent attendants seemed to be relieved when they came out. Yun Ting finally added, he didn't see it with his own eyes, and of course it was impossible to determine the truth or falsehood of this last piece of information. However, doesn't the quietness of the Ten Standing Attendants explain everything?

Without reliance, the Ten Standing Servants would never have that kind of calm, and who could remain indifferent when they saw a catastrophe coming? Unless, unless he was prepared, or someone gave them a shot in the arm.

Cao Cao really had nothing to say, full of disappointment, extremely disappointed for today. First the party, and then the relatives and friends of the ten permanent servants were allowed to extort and extort money in various states, and they sold their officials and lords, allowing many people who were not talented to sit in official positions. In the end, if the prince is not established for a long time, the prince is not established, and the most important thing is to shake the country's foundation!

As in the current situation, if the prince is identified as the crown prince earlier, these things will not occur at all. Even if the ten permanent servants still want to come to the palace at this time, when the Son of Heaven is unable to govern, the prince will be in charge of the country, and the prince can completely order the treacherous evil to be cut off!

All these problems are all in the body of the Son of Heaven! It's no one else, it's the Son of Heaven! The thoughts of the Son of Heaven alone, the decisions of one person, can completely affect the efforts of many courtiers and the whole world!

Really, Cao Cao couldn't help but feel a little cold, his efforts, or rather, the courtiers and soldiers who shed their blood for the country, did it work? They spent several years, more than ten years, countless painstaking efforts, and some even paid the price of their lives, and the situation they built was wiped out with just a vegit from the Son of Heaven.

What's the use? It didn't work! Nothing is useful, how to do it, it is useless!

"Except, another emperor!"

Cao Cao was suddenly frightened by the idea in his head, and hurriedly wanted to get this idea out of his mind, but this idea became clearer and clearer, deeply engraved in his mind.

There's never been a better time! Raise the crown prince to ascend the throne and eradicate the ten permanent servants, presumably the whole world will be restored to an excellent appearance! At least, it should not be like the current Son of Heaven, the world, the country, will only become more and more under his governance.

"What are you thinking?" Yun Ting watched Cao Cao's expression change, it was like an ancient imperial skill changing his face, and he couldn't help but be very curious about what Cao Cao was thinking.

"I'm just thinking about the current situation." Cao Cao replied very calmly, not sharing his innermost thoughts with Yun Ting. He wouldn't talk to anyone about this thought, because it was too perverse, and even he himself felt a faint fear of how such a thought could appear in his heart.

Because, the next vague thought is what if the prince still can't be a good emperor?

What if the prince association is not a good emperor either?

The entire Liu royal family, what if there is no high emperor?

Cao Cao felt fear, so he could only shift his attention to other places, otherwise if he continued to think about it, he really felt that he would inevitably have thoughts that he shouldn't have. At least, he is still a Hanchen now, eating the king's luck and being loyal to the king. I haven't forgotten the dream of Hankai Beidingyi!

"Also, Yuan Shao Yuan Benchu has just been assassinated."

Yun Ting's words also pulled Cao Cao out of the deep and dark whirlpool.

"Ben was assassinated?" Anger appeared on Cao Cao's face again.

Although he and Yuan Shao are strangers now, in his heart, he still hasn't forgotten the days when the two of them wandered side by side in Luoyang City. Moreover, in the routine deliberations of the General's Palace, he did not see any objection from Yuan Shao, and the proposal to summon foreign ministers and foreign troops into Beijing was not just to summon the first army of Liangzhou to enter Beijing. It's not so much that this is Yuan Shao's idea, but that this is He Jin's idea, but through Yuan Shao's mouth, he said it.

"So now, it's time for us to do it?" Cao Cao's fingers gently stroked the scabbard, and the coldness of his fingertips penetrated into his heart.

"At the very least, it's time to show the edge of the cold blade in your hand."

"Yes, that's why I came to you, it's time." Cloud Thunder Road.

Both of them were laughing, but their smiles were a little cold, with an indescribable coldness.
