"What's the matter that you're so panicked?"
Empress He immediately rebuked her.
She was already in a bad mood, and it was only after she managed to get He Jin to discuss countermeasures that she calmed down a bit.
Now that this old eunuch has come to report more bad news, how could she not be furious?
"This servant just received news that several senior ministers have advised Your Majesty that the prince has recovered lost territory beyond the Great Wall, defeated the Xianbei, and restored his royal title!"
The old eunuch lowered his head, not daring to look at Empress He, and spoke cautiously and tremblingly.
Empress He had two eunuchs beaten to death for no reason today.
He obtained this information through a eunuch planted by the emperor's side and planned to claim credit, but Empress He did not give him a friendly look.
If you offend her, you might lose your life.
"Brother, didn't you say that it was your confidant Dong Zhuo who recovered the lands beyond the pass, while Liu Wei was left to eke out a living at the foot of Yin Mountain, at odds with the foreign tribes and becoming their target?"
Empress He's eyebrows shot up, and her eyes seemed to spit fire.
Regarding Liu Wei's matter, it's quite disappointing that He Jin, a great general with many talented subordinates, performed so poorly.
A few days ago, Emperor Ling of Han learned that Liu Wei had defeated the foreign tribes in the Hetao region, and he had the idea of ​​restoring Liu Wei's royal title.
Meanwhile, Empress Dowager Dong also took the opportunity to make a suggestion.
Upon hearing this, Empress He immediately used all her skills to make Liu Hong feign illness, thus calming the matter down.
Unexpectedly, someone has brought up this matter again, and it is some respected senior officials.
Who says Liu Wei has no connections in the court?
What's going on with these veteran officials?
He Jin blushed, somewhat embarrassed: "Your Majesty, this matter is clearly the work of the Empress Dowager!"
"Liu Wei has no ministers in the court who would support him at all."
"This is Empress Dowager Dong taking advantage of His Majesty's dispatch of relatives to other places to win over Liu Wei and join forces against us."
Empress He showed no kindness and said in a cold voice:
"How could I not know these things? If we restore his title, wouldn't that be pushing his luck and causing us great harm?"
"I wanted Liu Wei dead, but now he is not only alive and well, but has also come into His Majesty's sight and attracted attention."
"Now even that old hag is trying to win him over!"
"If he joins forces with the old witch, wouldn't Bian'er's succession be affected?"
Empress He grew angrier as she spoke, "If you can't handle this matter properly, then I'll go and find him myself!"
"Guards, prepare the carriage! I am going to see His Majesty!"
He Jin quickly asked, "Your Majesty, where are you going?"
"What else can I do? I can't let that old hag succeed, nor can I let Liu Wei regain his title! Once he regains his title, the threat to Bian'er will become much greater!"
"I must go see His Majesty!"
Empress He immediately stood up, and a group of eunuchs and palace maids rushed over.
Some were leading the way, others were helping with the hems of people's clothes; they were all extremely busy.
"Your Majesty... I'm afraid it's too late. When I came here, my servants said that His Majesty had already instructed Jian Shuo to grind ink and draft the decree!" Eunuch Du said, forcing himself to speak.
If he doesn't speak up now, and Empress He gets a cold shoulder from His Majesty, he'll suffer an even worse fate.
"Damn it! Why didn't you say so sooner!"
Empress He was furious. "Guards, smash his legs!"
"Your Majesty, spare my life!"
Eunuch Du cried out in panic and knelt on the ground, "This servant received the news immediately and ran to report to Your Majesty."
"Your Majesty, please do not discourage those who are handling this matter!"
Seeing that his sister was taking her anger out on Eunuch Du, He Jin quickly stepped forward to dissuade her and signaled Eunuch Du to leave.
He usually obtained a lot of information about the palace from Eunuch Du.
He Jin was fully aware of the dealings between Empress He and her brother He Miao, so of course he wanted to protect Eunuch Du!
"There's still a chance. I'll definitely come up with a solution!"
He Jin declared confidently, "This time, I will absolutely not disappoint Your Majesty!"
"snort!"
Empress He's face was as cold as ice. She turned and returned to the bed. "No matter what method I use, I want him dead. Otherwise, I will not be able to eat or sleep in peace."
"The fortune teller's words are becoming more and more accurate."
He Jin wasn't unwilling to kill Liu Wei, but he also had his own unspoken difficulties!
The last time, the competition between Ding Yuan and Dong Zhuo for the position of governor of Bingzhou was actually meant to stab Liu Wei in the back.
Thinking that the two of them would do everything in their power to seize the position of governor of Bingzhou, they would be willing to risk everything to take over Shanwu and Yunzhong.
This posed a huge threat to Liu Wei from behind, causing him to lose his composure in the great battle against the Xianbei.
Thus, they used the Xianbei people to kill Liu Wei!
But Dong Zhuo, that guy, captured Shanwu in just a few days.
In addition, Dong Zhuo was secretly maneuvering to ensure that he would be appointed as the governor of Bingzhou.
Ding Yuan lost interest and left in despair to take up his post in Liangzhou.
This relieved Liu Wei of his worries, and as a result, he defeated the Xianbei people, who outnumbered him several times over!
It is said that when this news reached Luoyang, it caused a stir throughout the imperial court.
How the news reached Luoyang is unknown, but it is believed that a mysterious force was spreading it in Luoyang's taverns and marketplaces.
However, he still gave He Jin some face, saying that Dingxiang County was recovered by Dong Zhuo from the Xiongnu!
He Jin secretly investigated who was spreading the news but to no avail.
However, this made it even more crucial for He Jin to prevent Dong Zhuo from advancing into Yunzhong and openly attacking Liu Wei!
He Jin originally thought that if he handed Bingzhou over to Dong Zhuo, Dong Zhuo would obey and continue to advance towards Yunzhong to expand his gains.
