He Jin then informed him of the situation: Liu Wei was engaged in a major battle with the Xianbei, while Dong Zhuo was advancing step by step from behind.

"His Majesty has become preoccupied with him again. It's not wise to act now, or it will ruin our grand plan for establishing an heir!"

"I only hope that the Xianbei people will take action and destroy him now."

He Jin, however, had another idea in mind.

He planned to use Liu Wei to fight and wear down the Xianbei people, and then have Dong Zhuo follow closely behind to reap the rewards of victory.

Judging from Dong Zhuo's successful capture of Dingxiang, it shows that Xun You's strategy of watching the fire from the sidelines was very effective.

Now it's showing results!

Next, he waits for Dong Zhuo to receive good news from Yunzhong next spring.

In this way, He Jin could be considered a famous minister who restored the dynasty by suppressing the Yellow Turban Rebellion and recovering the Hetao region!

Thinking about all this, he couldn't help but feel a little smug.

The prestigious Ho family will rise to prominence under his leadership!

"Brother, I advise you: never raise a tiger to cause trouble."

"I heard that Liu Wei only recruited ten or twenty thousand men, yet he defeated the Xiongnu and almost wiped them out."

"If he wipes out the Xianbei people this time as well, won't his power in Yunzhong become even greater?"

"If you take this matter lightly, what if one day he brings his troops to fight Bian'er for the throne?"

Empress He, upon hearing He Jin's words, which seemed to be merely perfunctory, replied, "I will never be at ease until he dies!"

Just a few days ago, He Jin suffered a setback in front of Liu Hong, and it was only through Empress He's intervention that the damage was averted.

A few days later, He Jin became arrogant again.

"Your Majesty, please rest assured, it's only a matter of time. Our main task now is to expedite the process of establishing an heir."

Fearing that Empress He would continue to pursue the matter, He Jin quickly changed the subject to one that he was more interested in.

Upon hearing the important matter of establishing an heir, Empress He said, "His Majesty has lost a lot of weight and his appetite has decreased significantly since that night."

"I interrogated the imperial physician, and he said His Majesty has at most two or three years to live!"

"At that time, we'll finally make it through!"

"Brother, you should make sure you hold onto power firmly and don't let Empress Dowager Dong and the Ten Attendants take advantage of any loopholes."

"Recently, someone secretly informed me that General Dong Zhong, the Cavalry General, is quite active!"

Upon hearing Dong Zhong's name, He Jin's face twitched: "This man won't live more than a month!"
