However, Dong Zhuo also sent a memorial, saying that he had just taken over Bingzhou and needed to stabilize the people's hearts and train the army, and so on.
Moreover, winter has arrived, and heavy snow is coming, making it unsuitable for combat.
In short, Dong Zhuo was telling the truth, but He Jin could also sense that he was trying to shirk responsibility.
Emperor Ling of Han, Liu Hong, once said that Liu Wei was in the border region surrounded by foreign tribes, and he recruited soldiers for self-protection, not to wield power.
With just one sentence, Liu Wei was labeled, and He Jin and Empress He could no longer find an excuse for Liu Wei to rebel.
Now that Liu Wei has defeated the Xianbei, naturally some people with ulterior motives will pass on the message to Liu Hong.
Liu Hong had originally planned to send his relatives to local areas, and he also felt guilty and wanted to restore Liu Wei's title of prince.
At this point, it would be unwise to either take action against Liu Wei or prevent the restoration of his royal title.
This made it easier for Empress Dowager Dong to find fault with her.
Liu Hong already disliked Liu Bian. What if he impulsively insisted on making Liu Xie the crown prince? Wouldn't that be terrible?
"Your Majesty, we are at a critical juncture. A small act of impatience could ruin a great plan. If we harm Liu Wei, the Empress Dowager will take the opportunity to attack us, and we will suffer a greater loss than we gain!"
He Jin pondered for a moment, "We've already taken action against Empress Dowager Dong's brother, so it's perfectly normal for her to launch a fierce counterattack now!"
"As long as His Majesty passes away and the Prince of Hongnong ascends the throne, we will be able to control the entire situation!"
"Killing Liu Wei will be a piece of cake."
(Note: It is impossible to know what kind of king Emperor Shao Liu Bian was before he ascended the throne, so we will use his posthumous title to determine his status.)
Empress He calmed down slightly after hearing He Jin's analysis: "I learned from the imperial physicians that His Majesty's illness has two or three years left!"
"Two or three years is too long; things could get complicated if we let it drag on!"
"Elder brother, you must come up with a solution for me today."
"I will make Liu Wei die, and I will also secure the position of Crown Prince for Bian'er."
He Jin's head was throbbing, and he looked troubled: "Let me go back and make some plans."
