Reborn as Liu Hong: Building a Divine Great Han Empire

Emperor Ling of Han was the last powerful emperor of the Han Dynasty, a figure who could have altered the course of history, yet he became the root cause of the empire's collapse.

Fate ha...

Chapter 42 Conspiracy

"promise!"

"Zhang Rang, go back and find out where their people are, then inform me."

"Your Majesty, rest assured, this servant will not leave anyone behind."

Go!

After watching Zhang Rang and Zhao Zhong leave, Liu Hong looked at Zhong Yao again.

"Yuan Chang, inform Han Sheng and Bo Gui to prepare themselves and act immediately once the imperial edict is issued."

"promise!"

Seeing that everyone had left, Wang Yue couldn't help but say, "Your Majesty, they have been cultivating their influence in the palace for many years. If we act rashly now, what if there are any oversights...?"

Liu Hong looked at Wang Yue and smiled, "With the royal army here, what do I have to fear?"

"Your Majesty, rest assured, I will protect Your Majesty's safety with my life."

The emperor's trust in Wang Yue made him feel a great sense of responsibility, but also a touch of gratitude.

The eunuchs, led by Wang Fu, had controlled the palace for many years during the reign of Emperor Xiaohuan. They must have secretly cultivated and won over quite a few confidants, and even the five battalions of the Northern Army were probably infiltrated by them.

The reason Liu Hong hadn't taken any action against them was because he was wary of them, fearing they might resort to desperate measures. He knew that if these eunuchs got angry, even Liu Hong couldn't guarantee he could completely eliminate them.

Now that he has control of the Imperial Guards and the Tiger Guards, the time has come to eliminate the old eunuch clique.

So he didn't want to wait any longer. The Han Dynasty was in dire need of rebuilding, and he didn't have that much time to waste on these eunuchs.

After receiving Zhong Yao's notification, Huang Zhong, Ma Teng, Gongsun Zan, and others immediately contacted the middle and lower-ranking officers who had already pledged allegiance to the emperor to discuss the matter.

After all, those officers and soldiers were all from respectable families, and they were educated from childhood to be loyal to the emperor.

Therefore, they would naturally obey and carry out whatever the emperor commanded them to do.
