Han Dynasty Achievements

Chapter 10 Dong Zhong's Ability

There is even less outside the palace.

If she were in the palace, she might really be killed silently by that vicious woman named He!

On the contrary, going to Hejian would have many benefits. At least, Dong Zhong could get the title of General of Cavalry and compete with He Jin. In the future, he might have a chance to come back!

Empress Dowager Dong thought about it again and again, and said with a determined look, "I want to take Xie'er away."

This time it was Dong Zhong's turn to hesitate. He said, "Aunt, I'm afraid we have to ask His Majesty for his opinion. The prince, no, the King of Bohai, has a different status. If he wants to be enfeoffed, it will take some time."

Empress Dowager Dong snorted and said, "Go tell them not to let Xie'er go with me, and I won't leave."

When Dong Chong heard her say this, he had no choice but to turn around and leave and go back to Jingfu Palace.

He Jin entered the palace with only a few guards. He looked solemn and dignified, with eyes as fierce as those of a wolf or a tiger. He entered through the Suzaku Gate and headed north.

A faint smell of blood could be smelled in the air, and bloodstains could be seen on the ground from time to time. Palace maids and eunuchs were walking back and forth, cleaning the stains.

He Jin turned a blind eye, holding his sword in his right hand, striding forward with great momentum.

There were guards everywhere, but no one moved.

He Jin held his head high and chest puffed out, looking straight ahead. Even though there were only a few people around, he still looked majestic and domineering.

He bypassed the Pinghong Hall and went straight into the North Palace, heading towards the Jingfu Hall.

The eunuchs, palace maids, and imperial guards around all greeted him when they saw him.

He Jin did not dare to take it lightly. He was alert in his heart but did not change his expression.

Soon, he arrived at Jingfu Palace without any obstruction. Looking at the palace gate which was the same as usual, he felt uneasy in his heart. The flesh on his face twitched and he strode in with a dark face.

At this time, Empress Dowager He was still talking to her son whose personality had suddenly changed.

While she was fiddling with the food on the table, she said, "Bian'er, later, you should talk to your uncle nicely. I'm afraid you offended him before. Now the court needs to rely on him for matters, so you must not make him angry, understand?"

Liu Bian grabbed the pancake in his hand and ate it with big mouthfuls of noodle soup.

He likes to eat when he is nervous.

Even if it has been alleviated by half.

Seeing that Liu Bian was only focused on eating, Empress Dowager He patted him and said, "Your uncle is coming soon, stop eating, remember my words."

Then he looked at Jian Shuo behind him and said coldly, "Do you know what to do later?"

Jian Shuo said quickly: "I will definitely apologize to the general, please calm down."

Empress Dowager He snorted coldly. She was very upset about Jian Shuo and the eleven eunuchs including Zhang Rang who attempted to establish Liu Xie as the new emperor. If she had not just experienced a great chaos, she would have wanted to kill these people immediately.

Liu Bian ate voraciously for a long time until his stomach was a little full. Then he put down his hands comfortably, feeling relieved and his tense spirit relaxed a lot.

He glanced at Pan Yin who was standing respectfully not far away, and said with a smile: "Grand Chamberlain, how is the palace going?"

Pan Yin trotted forward and bowed, saying, "Your Majesty, I have made all the arrangements and have almost recovered."

Liu Bian nodded and said that the recovery was almost complete, which meant that the chaos had been settled, but the Twelve Attendants were still there and needed to be further cleaned up.

After returning from Deyang Palace, Pan Yin and Jian Shuo stayed by his side and never let them leave.

This was also Liu Bian’s little thought. He could not let Jian Shuo go until he was absolutely sure it was safe.

As he was speaking, He Jin came in with a huge horse and a golden sword. The first thing he saw was Jian Shuo, who was as tall as him and very prominent. With murderous intent flashing in his eyes, he went straight to sit opposite Liu Bian and said, "Your Majesty, why haven't you gotten rid of this eunuch yet?"

Liu Bian remained motionless and kept smiling.

Empress Dowager He saw that he did not bow, but she was not surprised, as she was used to it. She sat down and was about to talk with a smile when Jian Shuo quickly came over and was about to kneel down in front of He Jin.

At this time, Liu Bian raised his hand and interrupted his action.

"slow!"

Liu Bian sat up straight and said to He Jin with a smile: "General, Jian Shuo is a loyal minister of my father and an arm left to me. There is no need to worry about these minor matters. If he behaves disloyal again in the future, it will not be too late to lead troops into the palace to serve the king."

Upon hearing this, Jian Shuo was shocked and frightened. He lowered his head and glanced at He Jin out of the corner of his eye.

He Jin was murderous and determined, and said, "The eunuch party is a disaster to the country and has killed loyal officials. This is unforgivable! Today, we must execute Jian Shuo and completely eliminate the eunuch party! You don't need to say anything more!"

Although Empress Dowager He also disliked Jian Shuo, she couldn't bear to see her brother talking to her son like that, so she frowned and said, "Okay, General, I will take charge of the affairs in the Forbidden Palace, so don't worry about it."

He Jin was able to teach his nephew a lesson, but he was wary of the empress dowager's sister. He said in a deep voice, "Empress Dowager, the eunuch party must not be allowed to stay. Have you forgotten how they bullied you when the late emperor was alive?"

When Emperor Lingdi was in power, the eunuch party and the group of foreign relatives and civil officials headed by He Jin were incompatible. Naturally, they also hated Empress Dowager He and schemed many times in the palace.

Empress He looked annoyed and said, "General, let's eat."

He Jin saw that Empress Dowager He would not listen, and he felt helpless. He glanced at Jian Shuo who was standing respectfully, and warned him coldly: "You better behave yourself from now on. If you dare to overstep the line, I will come into the palace and execute you at any time!"

Jian Shuo raised his hand and bowed, saying, "Yes, yes, I will definitely behave myself from now on. Please calm down, General."

Liu Bian, who had been watching coldly, frowned secretly, and a trace of anger surged in his heart.

It seems that He Jin is warning Jian Shuo, but in fact he is teaching him a lesson!

"You didn't take me seriously at all..."

Liu Bian glanced at Jian Shuo and said calmly, "General, please remember my mother's words."

He Jin turned his head suddenly and looked straight at his nephew.

Before in Deyang Palace, he thought that Liu Bian was able to think quickly and perform beyond his normal capabilities, but now, he actually dared to contradict him?

Has this nephew really been hiding his thoughts and pretending on purpose?

He doesn't believe it!

No matter how well a teenager disguises himself, he can't escape his eyes!

The atmosphere suddenly became quiet and silently tense.

Jian Shuo raised his head quietly, looked at Liu Bian, and then slowly lowered his head back.

When Empress Dowager He saw He Jin staring at Liu Bian like this, she immediately said in dissatisfaction: "General, I have said that this is the Forbidden Palace. I have the final say on matters in the Forbidden Palace!"

He Jin was filled with rage and looked around, feeling that someone was instigating his obedient nephew. After looking around, it seemed that the only person who was responsible was Jian Shuo.

'is it him? '

He Jin didn't quite believe that this eunuch had such ability. He suppressed his anger and said impatiently, "I know."

Empress Dowager He then forced a smile and said, "We are all family, so just talk it out. Come, have a meal, Bian'er, toast your uncle. From now on, you will have to rely on your uncle for matters concerning the court."

'rely on?'

Liu Bian sneered in his heart, thinking: "Relying on him, do I think I am not dying fast enough?"
