Han Dynasty Achievements

Chapter 21 Give He Jin a Chance

Huangfu Song was unable to break free, and with great anger in his heart, he threw his sword to the ground and shouted, "Get out of the way!"

When the maids and servants saw him throw away his sword, they let him go in fear.

They were frightened by this scene. Their master was so furious today that he even wanted to kill the second young master!

Normally, when the Second Young Master acted mischievously, he would be severely beaten or sent back to the countryside, but today he actually wanted to take up a sword!

Huangfu Song looked coldly at Huangfu Jianchang lying on the ground, turned around and walked out, but soon he returned with a bundle of horse ropes and said, "Everyone get out!"

The doctor said in a panic, "Master, you can't tie him up. The Second Young Master is seriously injured. This will cost him his life!"

"That's better than implicating our entire family!" Huangfu Song pushed everyone away and tied up Huangfu Jianchang directly.

The servants and maids tried to stop him, but he pushed them all away.

After Huangfu Song tied him up, he carried him out directly.

Huangfu Jianchang slowly opened his eyes a little, looked at the shaking ground, and said, "Dad, I feel dizzy."

Huangfu Song ignored him and walked away quickly. He was worried that his mother, who doted on this beast, would come out to stop him.

Huangfu Song went out and threw Huangfu Jianchang onto the carriage, saying to the driver, "Go to the palace!"

Huangfu Jianchang almost fainted again after being thrown down like this, but the pain all over his body made him unable to utter a word.

Huangfu Song had a gloomy face and was angry, but he had to think about it.

Crashing into the Holy Chariot is indeed a big event, but considering his status, I think the punishment he will receive will not be too severe.

What he was worried about was that someone would take advantage of this opportunity to further attack him, and that would not be the end of the matter simply by being dismissed from office.

In the small teahouse, Liu Bian took a quick bite, estimated the time, and slowly returned to the palace.

At this moment, He Jin and Empress Dowager He were walking towards Jingfu Palace.

Queen Mother He said with a smile: "I am relieved that my brother has this heart. We are all family and cannot quarrel over outsiders. It's just Yuan Shao. Let alone imprisoning him, even if he is beheaded, what's the problem..."

He Jin's throat was clogged with anger, thinking that this girl was really stupid. If Yuan Shao was not released, then wouldn't 'upholding the emperor and eliminating the thief' really become a palace coup and treason?

But he could not say that the strained relationship with Empress Dowager He and his eldest nephew, the Emperor, did him no good at all.

He Jin was angry in his heart, but he nodded stiffly and said, "The Queen Mother is right. This time when I came to the palace, I just wanted to tell her to put aside the matter of Yuan Shao for the time being and focus on preparing for your Majesty's coronation ceremony."

According to the rules, the new emperor's enthronement ceremony must be held within one month after the previous emperor's death.

Empress Dowager He laughed even more happily and said, "Brother, you are right. Later, don't say anything, let me do the talking. Bian'er actually still respects you very much. Don't look so fierce, as if you are going to kill a pig. This will easily scare him. Smile more."

He Jin couldn't really laugh, so he forced a smile.

But he has a face full of flesh and plump features. It would be fine if he didn't smile, but he looks even more ferocious when he smiles.

Empress Dowager He looked at him and said, "Forget it, forget it. You'd better stop laughing."

As she was speaking, Empress Dowager He saw Liu Bian coming back from outside the palace. She smiled and said quickly, "Bian'er, your uncle is here, come quickly."

Liu Bian had already seen He Jin, and guessed the purpose of his visit. A smile instantly spread across his face, and he quickly stepped forward and said, "Mother, my uncle is here too, please come in."

Seeing that Liu Bian was no longer as cold as before, He Jin smiled with difficulty.

As soon as Empress Dowager He sat down, she said to Liu Bian: "Bian'er, we are a family. We can't make trouble for outsiders and let them laugh at us. Your uncle said that Yuan Shao should let it go and concentrate on preparing for your coronation ceremony..."

Liu Bian looked at He Jin and saw that he did not refute and seemed to be suppressing his anger. He thought to himself: It seems that He Jin has compromised.

He Jin's compromise was good news for him.

Liu Bian said immediately: "What the Queen Mother said is right. I was a little willful before. Then I will tell my uncle the truth. Yuan Shao led his troops into the palace and did not stop even when he was in front of me. He is too bold and presumptuous! This kind of behavior cannot be forgiven! However, his intentions are still good and not sinister, and I do not intend to make things difficult for him. Originally, I thought that considering that he is my uncle's man and was born in the Yuan family, there is reason to pardon him. In addition, after I ascend the throne, I will definitely grant amnesty to the world. With this combination, I can just let him go quietly. But my uncle is too anxious, which makes it really difficult for me..."

After listening to Liu Bian's explanation, He Jin's expression improved a lot and his anger subsided a little, but his neck was still stiff.

Empress Dowager He was overjoyed to see that Liu Bian did not argue with He Jin anymore. She said, "It's good that it's all said and done. Brother, there was another reason why I wanted to take back the imperial edict yesterday. I will tell you in detail later. Come on, prepare a banquet. Let's have a good family gathering today."

He Jin looked at Empress Dowager He and felt anger rising in his heart. This sister of his had never hidden anything from him before!

He glanced at Liu Bian and saw that he had a gentle smile, which made him feel more uncomfortable.

Liu Bian observed He Jin calmly, then he reached out to take the chopsticks and said with a smile, "Uncle, this is what happened. Zhang Rang, Zhao Zhong and others are plotting to depose the emperor. I will never tolerate this! I plan to severely investigate and punish them."

He Jin's expression suddenly brightened up. To eliminate the Twelve Eunuchs has been his obsession for so many years, and he has been troubled day and night!

Liu Bian continued, "These people have many followers, not only in the palace, but also outside the palace. Therefore, I plan to have the Grand Chamberlain as the leader, and General Jian Shuo assisting, to handle this case."

He Jin immediately said, "Your Majesty, I will handle this matter! I will investigate it thoroughly and will not let anyone off the hook!"

Liu Bian looked at He Jin with a thoughtful expression.

Empress Dowager He interrupted, "No, no, brother, you should focus on Bian'er's coronation ceremony. These matters involve the Forbidden Palace, so it's not appropriate for you to handle them. Let Pan Yin handle it."

He Jin saw that Empress Dowager He suddenly interrupted, and he felt that there was something fishy going on. However, he did not want to miss this great opportunity to completely eradicate the eunuch party, so he said, "Empress Dowager, it's not just Luoyang. The eunuch party's followers are all over the world, and the palace is still unable to deal with them."

Seeing that He Jin was in a hurry to jump into the trap, Liu Bian said calmly: "Since uncle said so, then let uncle handle the matter. However, Zhang Rang and others are eunuchs after all, and they are involved in many royal secrets. They must not be leaked, and must stay in the palace."

Empress Dowager He said solemnly: "Brother, you must listen to us on this matter. As for Pan Yin, you send someone to follow them and report everything to me and His Majesty. Don't let those outsiders know..."

"Cough cough,"

Liu Bian interrupted her and said to He Jin with a smile: "Uncle, you should understand what mother means. This matter is very important. You can arrest people, but you cannot interrogate people in the forbidden palace. All the proceeds from the confiscation of their homes, whether it is money, gold, silver, jewelry, or documents and letters, must be transported to the palace and not kept privately."

He Jin didn't care about the royal secrets. As long as he could completely eradicate the Twelve Eunuchs, nothing else mattered. He suppressed his excitement and said in a deep voice, "It's all up to the Queen Mother and Your Majesty!"

He wanted to leave and couldn't wait to go back and make arrangements.
