"Could it be that Ding Yuan killed Zhang Yi to cover his tracks?"

"Also, I heard that Marquis Yinshan was going to Shuofang to assume his fiefdom, so how come he had tens of thousands of troops as soon as he left Yanmen Pass and took over Dingxiang?"

"What is Marquis Yinshan planning? Is he joining forces with Ding Yuan to establish a small court beyond the Great Wall?"

"Hiss, be quiet, such words shouldn't be spoken..."

"......"

For a time, everyone was talking at once, and all sorts of opinions emerged.

This was described in such a convincing way, as if it were actually true.

He Jin remained silent.

Only he knew best that Ding Yuan was definitely not that kind of person.

Early in the morning, Sikong Duan Jiong and Situ Zhang Wen came to He Jin's place together to vouch for Ding Yuan.

Moreover, Duan Jiong had long recommended Ding Yuan to He Jin as the governor of Bingzhou, saying that Ding Yuan was loyal and brave and could be taken as a confidant.

However, what worries him most now is not Ding Yuan, but Marquis of Yinshan, Liu Wei.

Now that things have come to this, the truth can no longer be hidden.

His sister, Empress He, soon learned that Liu Wei, whom she had so desperately wanted to kill, was not dead.

Not only did they gain an army beyond the Great Wall, they also annihilated the Southern Xiongnu!

What if Liu Wei were to return to Luoyang with his army one day to seize the throne? How would we respond?

He Jin's eyes flickered, glancing at the crowd every now and then.

"Do not speculate wildly on things that have no basis!"

Upon hearing this, Zhen Yan stood up and argued, "To be fair, I feel that the Marquis of Yinshan is genuinely trying to reclaim the four prefectures of Yunzhong!"

"But Ding Yuan and Dong Zhuo are fighting for the position of Bing Province?"

Some people may not know who Zhen Yan is, but he has five younger sisters, each of whom is exceptionally beautiful.

Among these five younger sisters, the youngest is named Zhen Mi!

Fan Zeng immediately said:

"From what you're saying, it seems you're defending Marquis Yinshan?"

"General, Marquis Yinshan has arbitrarily amassed troops, far exceeding ancestral precedents and violating regulations."

"I think we should immediately petition His Majesty to issue an edict to punish Marquis Yinshan!"

Kong Rong, Wang Lang, and Kuai Yue all nodded in agreement.

“A prince who possesses an army is defying the imperial court and will cause chaos, which is detrimental to the country.”

"Yes, yes! That's absolutely unacceptable!"

Suddenly a person stepped forward and said:

"Issuing an imperial edict to punish him is certain!"

"However, I have a plan that can be used to resolve the General's troubles."
