"What happened to the General?"
"Replying to the Queen, the General was killed by Jian Shuo."
This time, someone who was not afraid of death stood up. This time it was Zhao Rong, another one of the Eight Captains of Xiyuan.
Zhang Rang didn't expect that there was someone who was not afraid of death, so he killed him.
Kill them until they tremble in fear.
"This person has slandered our dynasty's heroes and must be severely punished, executed without mercy! Anyone who dares to step forward to defend or interfere will be treated as an accomplice."
The executioners came up and started hacking wildly. The scene was so bloody that it was unbearable to watch.
If what happened just now wasn’t enough, this time it was truly shocking.
Empress He was horrified by what she saw.
She had never seen such a scene before, where someone was killed in front of them.
And he killed her for her to see.
Her face turned pale as she screamed and closed her eyes, not daring to look directly at him.
Zhang Rang smiled coldly when he saw that his goal had been achieved.
He began to look around again and saw that there was another Xiyuan Captain, so he turned his gaze to Xia Mou.
"Captain Xia, I think the army you have is also a destabilizing factor. I think you should hand it over."
Xia Mu was stunned. This time he came here with the two dead people.
They died because of this, but he didn't have the courage to continue to stand up.
Unexpectedly, Zhang Rang still didn't want to let him go.
At this moment, Xia Mou was in a dilemma whether to hand it over or not.
If he doesn't hand it over, he will suffer a miserable end.
If he did, how would the ministers view him?
Then he will never be able to enter the upper class again in his life.
Seeing that he remained silent, Zhang Rang said sternly:
"Xia Mu, speak up. Hand it over or not?"
These words were like thunderbolt in Xia Mu's ears, and he collapsed to the ground in fear.
He fainted on the spot.
Zhang Rang didn't expect that this coward could be so despicable.
He said contemptuously, "Hand over his token. Give all three of their tokens to Zhao Mingfan."
Zhang Rang felt that being a small county magistrate was not enough to make up for the help Feng Yun had given him this time.
Since these three people are so ungrateful, don't blame him.
But it was conferred by His Majesty himself, and Zhang Rang actually accepted it without hesitation.
At this time, the Yuan family, which had three generations of officials, had reached the point where they had to stand up and speak out.
Because everyone is looking at him.
Yuan Huai directly stood up and said:
"Eunuch Zhang, Empress Dowager He hasn't said anything yet, and you dare to act so presumptuously? Is this what you should do?"
Zhang Rang didn't expect that the Yuan family would dare to speak, but the Yuan family was not just these three minions.
You still need to give face.
"Oh? Then let's ask the two Queen Dowagers?"
Zhang Rang turned around, bowed his head, and said:
"Empress Dowager, Queen, I wonder if what our family is doing is reasonable and logical?"
Seeing Zhang Rang like this, Empress Dowager Dong was angry at him for not fighting back, but she didn't dare to say anything.
She had lived in the harem for so long, and she understood the cruelty of the eunuchs.
In addition, He Jin's death made her extremely happy, so she did not express her opinion and looked at Queen He.
"Let the Queen decide on this matter."
Empress Dowager Dong lightly shifted the focus to He Lian.
Empress He was still in shock, her eyes still wandering.
Suddenly she heard that Empress Dowager Dong seemed to be talking to her, and she finally calmed herself down.
"Ah! What?"
Zhang Rang then repeated:
"Yuan Huai said that we can't take over the throne, and the Queen asked if we could take over the military power of these three people?"
At this moment, He Lian could only keep her tears in her heart. The Ten Attendants were going too far.
He killed his brother and now he is threatening him.
This damn eunuch has bullied her, but now she is the queen in name only, but now everyone inside and outside the palace is under the control of the Ten Attendants.
She couldn't refute it at all.
"allow."
Zhang Rang then turned around and said arrogantly:
"Now you know. Do you have anything else to say?"
Yuan Huai was completely dejected by the criticism. Since the queen said so, what else could he say?
But Zhang Rang persisted and said:
"It seems that your Yuan family is still dissatisfied with our family. If that's the case, then let Yuan Shao hand over his military power as well. Oh, and Cao Cao of the Cao family, hand him over as well."
Zhang Rang's words were unquestionable, because what happened yesterday was too shocking.
No one has decided yet how to deal with them.
And Your Majesty still doesn’t know what the situation is.
Seeing that neither the Yuan family nor the Cao family spoke, Zhang Rang looked at He Lian again.
The Queen had absolutely no intention of resisting.
"allow!"
At this point, what else can the two families say?
This time the court meeting was so heavy that they hardly discussed other things and ended early.
After He Lian returned to the palace, she lay down in front of Liu Hong's bed and cried:
"Your Majesty, my younger brother He Jin is dead."
The news here had been cut off by the Ten Eunuchs, and Liu Hong also had no way of obtaining any news from outside the palace.
This time, when the Queen mentioned this matter, she was already very weak and spoke to Liu Hong with difficulty:
"How did he die?"
"Killed by the Ten Attendants."
"What?"
"How dare they do this?"
Liu Hong could never have imagined that the eunuch who had always been weak in front of him could actually kill the general of the Han Dynasty.
However, the queen continued to give Liu Hong shocking information.
"Today they brought the Lieutenant's Army into the palace again and killed two people inside. They have openly disregarded the imperial authority."
"Outrageous! Outrageous!"
He was unable to get up now, otherwise he would have to take people out to teach these slaves a lesson.
He Lian still felt that this was not enough and continued to fan the flames:
"Your Majesty, you just can't attend court now. If you leave in the future, we mother and son will be bullied by them. Maybe the Liu family will be controlled by these eunuchs in the future."
Only then did Liu Hong make up his mind.
"Pass on my oral order to appoint Liu Bian as the crown prince."
After hearing Liu Hong's words, He Lian thought she had misheard.
"Your Majesty, are you really going to make Braid'er the crown prince?"
Liu Hong nodded with difficulty.
Only then did He Lian feel reassured.
But this was an oral order, and she couldn't spread the news at all.
To be on the safe side, she carefully took out an imperial edict from under the bed.
That’s right, it was an imperial edict that had been drafted in advance.
It can also be said to be fake.
But now it's different.
With His Majesty’s personal admission, the false becomes true.
"Your Majesty, this is the imperial edict I prepared in advance. Please put your fingerprint on it."
The imperial seal has been handed over to the Ten Attendants, so this is all she can do now.
When Liu Hong saw the imperial edict, he glanced at He Lian and said nothing.
He stretched out his fingers tremblingly.
The queen, who was well prepared, simply slid the seal and pressed her finger.
The fake imperial edict then became the real imperial edict.
He Lian was overjoyed.
