Chapter 278: Fatal Edict
In the early years, there was a fire in the Nangong. Liu Hong repaired the Nangong. After some repairs and additions, the Nangong became a court palace again. Now the North Palace has become the harem residence where Liu Hong and his concubines live.
When the Beigong became a harem again, the Langguan guards of the Beigong who were gradually attracted by He Jin would have to face the embarrassment of being transferred even if they were not laid off.
The transfers that should be transferred, the dismissals that should be dismissed, including the Nangong fire, were probably all planned by Liu Hong. The exchange of functions between the two palaces disrupted He Jin's deployment in the palace.
Liu Hong's palace was grandly decorated, and it should have been sent to the Jiade Hall of Nangong, but now, let alone Liu Hong's coffin, all the senior officials in the court were blocked from the palace.
The old minister was sad and resentful. Liu Hong was critically ill and died. He did not explain anything to the old ministers of the Manchu Dynasty until the news of his death came out. At this time, only the permanent servants of the Shaofu were in the palace.
A group of veterans gathered together. Among Liu Hong's concubines, only the queen was present. General He Jin stood by the queen's side expressionlessly, while beside He Lian, there was Cai Yan, who was holding a piano and looking cold.
"How is King Dongping doing lately?" He frowned and looked around the palace. The guards in front of the palace door were all direct descendants of the eunuchs. He Jin felt uneasy and asked Cai Yan while pacing.
"Thank you, General, for your concern. Your Highness has been busy raising livestock recently, so everything is fine." Cai Yan replied calmly to He Jin.
"Don't worry too much. The eunuch has made his own decision to call you into the palace this time. I wish you could be by the queen's side and no one can embarrass you." He Jin glanced at the anxious queen and said to Cai Yan.
.
"Brother, what are you doing, second brother? Where are his generals? Your Majesty passed away, and I can't come near. How unbecoming is this!" He Lian first asked He Jin in a low voice. Then her voice became louder, making the gathering uncomfortable.
Courtiers in the distance heard her angry rebuke.
The courtiers all frowned, not dissatisfied with He Lian, but glaring at General Huben who was guarding the palace. The guards were cold-faced, but feeling the resentment of so many veterans in the court, all the Huben guards seemed a little uneasy.
"Hmph! What a useless thing, don't care what he does. The Northern Army's guards will arrive soon. The thieves are arrogant and must be severely punished." He Jin scolded angrily.
He Lian, He Jin, and He Miao were three brothers and sisters. Later generations often looked at He Miao as a cheat. Actually, He Miao and He Jin were not related by blood.
He Jin is the eldest son in the family, while He Miao remarried He Jin's father with his mother. He Miao and He Jin are half-fathers and have no blood relationship at all.
He Lian is He Miao's younger sister. She is half-mother to He Jin, and half-father to He Miao. The relationship between the three brothers and sisters is quite chaotic. However, compared to He Jin, He Lian's relationship with his half-mother He Miao is not.
Be closer.
In later generations, He Lian and He Jin were no longer on the same page, and He Miao seemed to fail more than succeed. Their complicated relationship may be the key. He Lian's precautions against He Jin can't be said to be serious.
Simply neurotic.
"Woo~woo~Your Majesty..." A soft, choked voice came from the palace. The old minister looked around, and He Jin frowned.
I saw Zhang Rang, Zhao Zhong, and Jian Shuo all the regular attendants pouring out of the palace regardless of order. Most of them were covering their faces and crying. Jian Shuo looked at the situation outside the palace and saw no soldiers. His face was slightly relaxed and he squinted his eyes as he scanned the crowd.
Where the Queen is.
"You rebels and traitors, you are so cruel! Your Majesty is so kind to you that you did not let the prince see his father for the last time! You are planning to do that treason!" Shi Changshi appeared, and He Lian scolded her sharply, and she burst into tears.
Rolling down, stubborn with tears, pear blossoms with rain.
Liu Hong was seriously ill and could not enter the South Palace, but stayed in the North Palace for a long time. The tigers and beniars in the inner palace were all under the orders of the eunuchs, and they even dared to use their swords to prevent the old ministers and the queen from entering the palace.
The queen reprimanded and cried, and all the old ministers were even more angry. At this time, among the regular servants, Zhao Zhongyue came out and knelt down in front of the queen.
"Queen, forgive me! Everything is your Majesty's will. The prince can't argue, and the prince's association has also been banned from the Queen Mother's palace. Your Majesty, the Queen needs to take care of her body. We should die, and we are willing to accept the Queen's punishment!" Zhao Zhong cried sadly.
At the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, if the emperor was still alive, the affairs of the royal family could still be managed in a satisfactory manner, but as long as the emperor fell out of power, nonsense would inevitably happen one after another.
The ministers who were able to come here were many veterans of the past dynasties. Although many of them were dissatisfied at this time, they seemed to be somewhat unsurprised by this situation. Anyway, it was just a mess between eunuchs and relatives.
"Even if you die a thousand times, it will not be a pity. Get out of here, where is your Majesty's edict!" He Jin stepped forward and raised his foot to kick Zhao Zhong, but Zhao Zhong dodged cleverly. The guards stepped forward to stop He Jin, and Zhao Zhong looked at him.
Flashing fierce light.
"Go away, are you trying to offend me?!" He Jin scolded Hu Ben.
"We don't dare!" Hu Ben lowered his head, but still stood in front of He Jin.
"Oh~~oh~~Your Majesty~~" Sun Zhang cried sadly.
"General, your Majesty's body is still cold, you...are you too panicked?" The cry attracted everyone's attention, and Sun Zhang seemed speechless with grief and anger, and he couldn't stop talking.

"Insolent! The country cannot live without a king for a day. Your Majesty has done a great job. The crown prince's edict is an important matter concerning the common people. How can you say it in such a panic!" Among the veterans, Yuan Wei, who usually rarely talks, stood up and shouted.
Yuan Wei scolded, and the officials responded. The eunuchs and relatives of the Eastern Han Dynasty had a tradition of setting up new emperors. For these old officials, I am afraid that the emperor's funeral will be at the back. They should hurry up and decide on the new emperor. Don't mess around, and then they can follow the steps.
.
"Your Majesty has decreed that the matter of the new emperor needs to be discussed in detail with all ministers, and the queen is requested to temporarily avoid it." Sun Zhang was glared at by a group of old ministers, Jian Shuo stepped forward with a serious face, and passed Zhang Rang and Zhao.
Zhong, followed by several tiger warriors behind him, faced Queen He Lian directly.
All the ministers were suddenly startled and doubtful, and there were also many people with expressions of speculation on their faces. The faces of the regular attendants behind Jian Shuo seemed to have strange expressions, but they turned into sadness in an instant, and it was difficult to distinguish other emotions.
He Lian was shocked and angry. When she saw that Jian Shuo actually stood in front of her with Huben and asked her to retreat, He Lian's eyes burned with anger.
"Rebellion! Rebel! What an evil slave who deceived the master. The prince's debate is the orthodoxy of the Han Dynasty. Jian Shuo, how dare you lie about His Majesty's will? Do you not know how to die? If you don't retreat, you will kill the whole family!" He Lian
He laughed angrily, and as he spoke, purple thunder energy actually came out of his body.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! "Queen, no!" He Jin exclaimed.
Purple Thunder Gang Qi, the same model as Liu Cang. He Lian's physical limit cannot be too low, but as the empress of the Han Dynasty, her karma is more transcendent.
He Lian was extremely angry, but He Jin was worried that she would make him angry, so he shouted to stop her, but Cai Yan sighed softly next to He Lian.
What is He Lian anxious about?
Alas, I have to say that although it is not certain whether Liu Hong died, it is true that Liu Hong did not establish a prince until his death.
That guy is definitely a master who will not let anyone live in peace even if he dies. No, there are many people with twinkling eyes among the veterans.
He Jin stopped He Lian, and He Lian's chest rose and fell, and the blazing energy gradually calmed down. Jian Shuo looked directly at him fearlessly, and the hesitant eyes of General Huben behind Jian Shuo revealed murderous intent.
But Cai Yan, who was ignored by everyone for a while, looked at Cai Yong among the ministers.
Cai Yong's brows were furrowed. He looked closely at Zhang Rang and Zhao Zhong's expressions, and looked around to see if there was any movement of troops.
Seeing that the soldiers were not coming, Cai Yong saw a mocking smile from the corner of Zhao Zhong's mouth, but he nodded silently to Cai Yan, and at the same time, he slowly moved forward from behind the crowd.
"Fellow servants, do you know where your Majesty's last edict is?" Cai Yan stepped forward, bypassed He Jin, stood in front of He Lian, blocked the tiger guards who were approaching and looked like dead soldiers, and asked Jian Shuo.
It's all nonsense about a will, and even if Liu Hong was nonsense, there was no way he wouldn't leave a testament.
Jian Shuo was unusually strong, but given his courage, he didn't dare to do anything to the queen in front of the old ministers in the court.
In recent years, He Lian had often been getting close to Cai Yan, but Cai Yan didn't want He Lian to be treated badly by a eunuch.
"Get out of the way!" Jian Shuo knew Cai Yan, but Hu Ben, who obeyed Jian Shuo's orders, did not know Cai Yan.
Cai Yan hadn't even gotten haircut yet, and was dressed in a simple and elegant girl's attire. When he saw a girl holding a harp standing in front of He Lian, the Huben guard raised his hand to push Cai Yan away.
"No~!" Jian Shuo exclaimed, are you the one you can push around as the eldest wife of King Dongping? He is already quarreling with the queen and He Jin. How can he still provoke Liu Cang?
Jian Shuo shouted in time, but the guard was already nervous and acted quickly. When Jian Shuo shouted, Huben's big hand had already pushed in front of Cai Yan.
"Alas~~" the girl sighed softly, seemingly helpless.
"Pah!" He raised his hand and grabbed the guard's wrist.
"Winter~!" It was like a wooden guqin hitting the ground vertically, but it made a heavy metallic sound.
For a moment, Huben couldn't move his wrist, which was held by Cai Yan's little hand. Then he heard the sound of the guqin hitting the ground, and fear flashed through his eyes.
"Peng!" His eyes were turned upside down, and amid the muffled sound, the guard with his stomach still in his stomach felt only burning heat in his organs and a dull pain like shattering bones all over his body.
Under the watchful eyes of He Lian and everyone around him, he saw the girl holding the guqin standing on the ground with one hand and throwing a strong man with the other hand. Her movements were fierce. He Lian seemed to have seen Liu Cang smashing the king again.
A transcendent scene.
A living General Huben was grabbed by one of Cai Yan's arms and slammed onto the masonry ground.
"Woo~" He groaned briefly, but General Huben didn't make any movement at all. He kicked his legs, and there was no movement at all.
"Here~~Here~~" The guqin was dragged, and the imperial city floor tiles were blown up by the wood-like corners of the guqin.
"Hiss~~~" There were gasps of cold air all around.
Obviously, He Lian discovered at this time that the piano zheng Cai Yan was holding all day long was probably made of fine steel and heavy iron. How could this girl...how could this girl be of the same species as Liu Cang?
Jian Shuo jumped back in fright, and the other generals Huben stepped back three to five meters, holding the long-handled pumpkin hammer tightly in their hands to distance themselves from the monster girl in front of him.
"Fellow attendants, where is your Majesty's edict?" Cai Yan held the piano in one hand and held the arm of General Huben, who was both alive and disabled with the other hand. Obviously, if General Huben wanted to attack, Cai Yan would probably hit him with this person.
.
He Jin looked at Cai Yan's back with a suspicious look. He looked at Cai Yan for a while, Cai Yong for a while, and finally looked at Queen He Lian, as if asking: Do you really want to bring such a thing with you?
no problem?
There were quite a few people who were in the same mood as He Jin, and many even forgot for a moment that there was a very cold Emperor in the palace.
"Cough~~" Zhang Rang coughed slightly, his expression equally weird, but it also attracted everyone's attention.
Mom, luckily my niece is not weak either, otherwise she would have been eaten to death by the eldest lady.
"Your Majesty's edict belongs to the Prince Xie and Jian Shuo. The prince has both moral integrity and talent. He is the orthodox member of the Han Dynasty. He should be the successor to the throne." Zhang Rang cleared his throat and finished speaking. Zhao Zhongcai held out an edict.
"You! You guys!..." Jian Shuo's expression suddenly changed, and he looked at the young servants in disbelief. At this time, all the eunuchs looked at him with cold eyes, and Jian Shuo's heart felt chilly. This was different from earlier
What they said is different!!!
"Boom~Boom~" the soldiers ran, and at this time He Miao also led a large group of infantry to arrive here.
According to Zhang Rang, Liu Hong's edict only asked Jian Shuo to take care of the Prince Association. He Jin and He Lian looked at Jian Shuo coldly, and it was not appropriate to get entangled with him at this time. However, it was obvious that Jian Shuo's end was destined.
He Miao led the Northern Army guards to supervise the inner palace. Everything in the inner palace had been decided. Everyone suppressed the new understanding Cai Yan brought to them. They mourned Liu Hong, and at the same time they all secretly decided that Cai Yong would bring Cai Yan to participate again in the future.
What kind of cultural society can make all the younger generations of our family behave a little bit more?
There was no chaos in the inner palace, but Jian Shuo was in charge of the eight schools of Xiyuan, and as early as when he was confronting He Lian, Jian Shuo had already sent people to order the deployment of troops.
