As soon as Liu Hong died, the late Han Dynasty was like a wild horse running wild, entering the prelude to real troubled times.

A generation of emperors reigned for 21 years. The two princes passed away and did not establish a prince until their death. Regardless of the past, it can be said that the fallen Han Dynasty did not know it. He had no imperial qualities at all, and he was even suspected of looking for trouble.

My maternal relatives were busy sharpening their knives. Well, yes, it was only my maternal relatives who were anxious to sharpen their knives at first.

The queen is in power, the prince is arguing for the throne, the relatives are powerful, and the eunuchs are very sincere in trying to calm things down.

If you win, we can have fun in the future. The big deal is that it was originally five and five, but now you and I are two, what about?

It is a pity that the eunuch gave in, but the relatives group had no intention of letting the eunuch go. Especially since He Jin was in great power, he urgently needed to clear his name and win the hearts of the people with the blood of thieves and eunuchs.

There is no need to do any great deeds, as long as you kill this group of imperial servants, you can become a celebrity and be praised by the world for eternity. Who can give up such a good deal?

Then? Then the eunuchs have no choice but to continue sharpening their swords. Come on, let's hurt each other.

Liu Cang is indifferent to the world, at least he has shown himself to be indifferent to the world in these years.

Especially after he produced some high-yielding crops and threw them around without deliberately promoting his fame, most of the people who believed in him now began to believe that he was independent of the world, regardless of whether they originally believed in him or not.

King Dongping had the ability to control beasts and was respected by others. But his beasts were still unable to be brought to the forefront.

As far as combat power is concerned, those wild beasts are born purely for destruction. There is no explanation in itself. If you really want to use them to participate in the struggle for power. There is no need to worry about the fate of a beast who harms others and is a public enemy of the world.

He definitely didn't run away.

After all, beasts are still beasts, and no one in this era will give equal rights to beasts. At least at this stage, the significance of defense of the Funiu Mountain herd far exceeds that of offense.

For most people in power, it is necessary to respect Liu Cang. But as long as he doesn't jump out to cause trouble, just don't provoke him.

But in the end, that guy really got into trouble.

Dismiss the soldiers of the Seventh Battalion of Xiyuan with one word!

Damn it! Damn Xiyuan Captain, the Xiyuan Southern Army that Liu Hong had been planning for many years turned into a joke overnight.

It is said that Liu Hong ignored the people of Shanglin in every way. When Liu Cang lent cattle and gave him good seeds, what Liu Hong did to the people of Shanglin was to increase taxes. Everyone could clearly tell which was near and which was far.

[To be honest, I have been using the Huanyuan app recently to read and catch up on updates. It allows me to switch between sources and read aloud with many sounds. .huanyuanapp is available for Android and Apple.]

If the emperor or empress came, they might still obey the royal decree. But no one from the royal family came out, and with Liu Cang's big tree supporting them in front, they would naturally obey Liu Cang's orders.

Many things cannot be revealed by bragging and talking. After this incident, the captains of each battalion also deeply realized that they still have to recruit their own soldiers, and it is unreliable to station troops in the forest.

Liu Cang is going to cause trouble?

He Jin was furious!

Is it a lie to be called a general?

Liu Hong's posthumous edict was in hand, and now he would fight to the death against anyone who dared to prevent his emperor's nephew from ascending the throne!

The Northern Army's guards assembled, the gates of the Beigong Palace were closed again, the Northern Army banned its troops and prepared for war, Ma Rixi ordered the elite soldiers to defend the Beigong wall, Feilian entered the sword, arranged the crossbow, the box crossbow, and the Sky Strike God Crossbow failed to activate the string.

He Jin wanted to mobilize the fifth battalion of the Northern Army to surround Lubei County and Funiu Mountain. However, Liu Cang left before the order came out of the palace. After the guy dispersed the Xiyuan Army, he left directly...

Your Majesty, King Dongping retreated to avoid suspicion, stayed away from the imperial city of Luoyang, and led his troops to garrison the Jianzhang Palace to mourn the late emperor.

The swords of the Beigong Forbidden Army were drawn out, and the bows were pulled. The six captains of the Xiyuan School, leading the Xiyuan Army with a total of less than three thousand, had only one sentence in their hearts: 'Mamabi!'

But for He Jin and He Lian, even if Liu Cang had all his faults, as long as he didn't want to help Liu Xie become emperor, there was nothing wrong with him.

Well, the queen, the queen mother, and the prince are all here, and the orthodoxy of the Han Dynasty is not a joke. People don't even worry about someone daring to take the emperor's position now.

Liu Cang is very strong? There are many strong people in this Han world.

Which of those aristocratic families is not strong? How many people does Liu Cang have, including his ferocious beasts? Let's mediate slowly in the future. Isn't that what the royal family does?

At the end of 188, Liu Hong died and was given the posthumous title of Emperor Xiaoling.

Only two days later, the coffin of Emperor Ling was still in the palace, and twelve-year-old Liu Bian succeeded to the throne after Emperor Ling's death.

Liu Bian respected his mother, Queen He, as the empress dowager. Because the young emperor was young, the empress dowager He came to the court and proclaimed a general amnesty for the whole country and changed her name to Yuan Guangxi.

Empress Dowager Dong, the mother of Emperor Ling, failed to become the empress dowager, but was downgraded to the queen of the feudal lord, that is, the queen of the Hejian king.

Although she was still called Empress Dowager Dong, Empress Dowager He's rejection and precautions against her were obvious.

And there is nothing wrong with Queen Mother He's exclusion.

After all, Mrs. Dong was only Liu Hong’s mother, but not Emperor Huan’s wife. Dong’s husband was Liu Chang, the king of Hejian. If Liu Hong died, what kind of queen would she be?

Liu Hongruo can still be regarded as the orthodox emperor of the Han Dynasty, and Dong's name as Queen Mother is just the face given to Liu Hong by everyone when Liu Hong was alive.

Now that she has returned to the former King of Hejian, the title of Queen Mother Dong is to highlight the virtuous and filial piety of the current Queen Mother He Lian.

No one in the clan defended the Dong family, which shows how unpopular he was.

The eight-year-old prince Xie was granted the title of King of Bohai, and Jian Shuo often accompanied Liu Xie. Within a month, Jian Shuo fell into the water in Nangong and died.

At this point, if nothing unexpected happens, the Prince Association is almost destined to miss the throne again.

Liu Cang disappeared into Shanglin Garden, and He Lian got his wish and allowed Liu Bian to ascend the throne, but the battle around Luoyang Imperial City was far from over.

The overall situation is set, and in order to protect the reputation of the virtuous, the Queen Mother should not be too difficult and persecuted to the Queen Mother Dong and Liu Xie, and even show her generosity.

Perhaps because of someone's instructions, King Liu Xie of Bohai surrounded the new emperor Liu Bian and his brothers all day long. At the same time, he mentioned to Liu Bian several times that there were strange animals in Shanglin Garden. He Lian always scolded him. Shanglin Garden was in Liu Bian's heart.

It's like it has become a taboo.

He Lian was not worried about Liu Xie being able to win over Liu Cang. Liu Xie was not even qualified to communicate with Liu Cang on an equal footing.

But He Lian had seen those strange beasts in Shanglin Garden with her own eyes. Liu Bian's small body could kill him if he bumped into them. He Lian didn't dare to let Liu Bian run around in Shanglin Garden.

He Jin was very busy, and He Lian was also very busy, too busy to take care of Liu Cang at all.

Liu Hong was dead, but seeing that He Lian still knew how to behave, Empress Dowager Dong still wanted to try to jump a few more times.

After Zhang Rang and others "struggled" to protect Liu Bian's accession to the throne, He Lian protected Zhang Rang's regular attendants, but He Jin, who had overwhelming power in the court, still worked hard to create glory with the blood of the ten regular attendants.

Cavalry General Dong Chong was the nephew of Empress Dowager Dong. Seeing that He Jin was going to fight them to the death, Zhang ordered the others to attach themselves to He Lian. At the same time, he also secretly relied on Dong Chong as a party support, pushing Dong Zhong in front and fighting with General He.

compete with each other for power.

Liu Cang squatted in Shanglin Garden, just watching a group of people fighting fiercely, and Empress Dowager Dong was really a ruthless person.

As the saying goes, if you don't seek death, you won't die. Originally, when Liu Hong was there, Empress Dowager Dong enjoyed all the respect and had nothing but greed for money and good words.

But Liu Hong died. He dragged his nephew and Shi Chang to help him. Seeing that he was still unable to defeat the brother and sister He Lian and He Jin, Empress Dowager Dong directly said harsh words, claiming that she could let Dong Zhong kill He Jin in minutes.

.

What is this called? If the emperor does this, he will be accused of "punishing without guilt", okay? Are you not going to follow the rules?

Well, when He Jin heard this, he said, well, this is what I, the general, like, come on, let's hurt each other. Don't stop anyone, this old lady broke the rules first.

It may be a bit funny to say it, but in fact, Dahan comes from a society governed by the rule of law.

At least for this period of time, there was only one person in the Han Dynasty who could accuse people of arbitrary crimes, and that was the emperor.

As for other people, even if they want to bury someone, they still have to find some substantiated charges.

Otherwise, you can kill people, but no matter how high your status is or how powerful you are, in the mouths of the world, you will only be evaluated as a traitor.

As for Empress Dowager Dong's daring to utter such desperate words, she was really outrageous.

In May of 189, He Jin and the three princes reported to Empress Dowager Dong that she had ordered the eunuchs to amass money without any means, and wanted to send Empress Dowager Dong to leave the palace and return to Hejian Kingdom.

In order to report Dong Chong's crime of illegally amassing money, he sent troops to surround Dong Chong's residence, arrested Dong Chong, removed him from his official position, and escorted him to prison. Dong Chong contracted cold in prison and died.

Empress Dowager Dong was worried and frightened by Dong Chong's affairs, so she suddenly fell ill and died. As for whether He Lian had a role in it, not even Zhang Rang knew.

After Dong's death, the coffin was returned to Hejian and buried in Shenling together with Liu Chang.

After fighting for more than half a year, I turned my face and ended the matter with a knife. Don't be too relaxed and happy.

At this point in the imperial court, He Jin seems to have tasted the pleasure of killing a lot of people. This thing is a bit addictive.

In addition to trying to figure out how to pick off the waist of the ten permanent servants, He Jin also had his hands free, preparing to have a good fight with Liu Cang, the prince of the princes who was squatting on the edge of the imperial city.

Shanglinyuan belongs to his family. Don't you, Prince Dongping, occupy it.

And it seemed that He Jin's strange movement had been discovered, and Liu Cang, who had also been lying in bed for more than half a year, also made some movement.

Two thousand wolf troops in Funiu Mountain drive away giant elephants and bullocks to build roads to benefit the people.

A hundred miles away from Luoyang, on the line from Sanshanguan to Lubei County, the sun is blocked by withered eagles all day long. Withered eagles catch fish and feed animals, and occasionally a three-meter-long arowana is caught.

Out of respect for the power of General He Jin, Liu Cang gave the dragon fish to the General's mansion.

But the delivery method was a bit special. Four sky-covering Gu withers dropped the arowana into the general's palace from a height of 100 meters, and then the eagle withered from the palace and flew away from a height that could not be hit by crossbows.
