In the late Eastern Han Dynasty, the world was in chaos.
Liu Wei transmigrated to become a prince of the Eastern Han, initially framed by Empress Dowager He and granted the barren and dangero...
"My lord, Dong Zhuo... he wants to poison the young emperor?" Xun You, Yang Lian, and the others were extremely surprised.
“That’s right! He not only wants to install the Prince of Chenliu, but he also wants Empress Dowager He to hang herself.”
Liu Wei said slowly with a stern face, "We have to get ahead of him, otherwise the imperial edict in my hands will be like a piece of waste paper, and our slogans of eliminating the poisonous empress and avenging our father will be in vain!"
Xun You nodded silently.
He and Yao Guangxiao had already planned out the process of Liu Wei's ascension to the throne.
First, he went to the capital, executed the He family and the Ten Attendants, deposed the young emperor for his lack of virtue, and produced the imperial edict to establish the Prince of Chenliu.
Subsequently, Liu Wei was appointed Grand General and Grand Tutor, holding great power.
Then, the ministers were asked to submit a memorial requesting the Prince of Chenliu to abdicate. Liu Wei declined three times, but was forced to accept and ascended the throne.
If Dong Zhuo were to depose the young emperor and install the Prince of Chenliu first, the process would become more complicated.
We need to reorganize the slogans and pretexts to target Dong Zhuo.
Just then, several riders came from the opposite direction of the main army and rushed towards Liu Wei:
"Your Highness, a man claiming to be Wang Chengen has come from Luoyang and requests an audience with you!"
"Wang Chengen? He's still alive?"
The Embroidered Uniform Guard reported that Jian Shuo led the Western Garden Army in an attempt to kill He Jin, but failed and died. Wang Chengen was also imprisoned.
Even though Wang Chengen didn't die, he actually escaped unscathed from the Rebellion of the Ten Attendants; he was truly lucky.
Now Wang Chengen has actually come to him; perhaps he's here to seek refuge.
As a loyal eunuch by his father's side, Liu Wei didn't mind taking him in.
"Quick, bring him over here!"
Before long, Wang Chengen, dressed in rags like a beggar, was brought before Liu Wei by the soldiers.
Looking at him now, he was no longer the favored eunuch who served the emperor. Who knows what he had gone through along the way?
Liu Wei frowned slightly, then looked surprised, dismounted, and went to meet him.
When Wang Chengen saw Liu Wei dismount to greet him, his heart ached, and tears streamed down his face.
"Prince Wei, this old servant...this old servant..."
Before she could even utter a word, she burst into tears.
