Chapter 49 Court Discussion

Soon, Yuan Wei and Liu Yu appeared in Liu Bian's study.

They glanced at the kneeling Zhang Feng, stepped forward and saluted, saying, "Your Majesty, I am Yuan Wei/Liu Yu, here to see you."

Liu Bian noticed the expressions of the two people, reached out to pick up the teacup, and said, "No need to be polite."

After Liu Yu thanked him, his expression darkened and he said, "Your Majesty, Zhang Feng is the son of the eunuch Zhang Rang. He has committed countless crimes. I beg you to execute him immediately!"

Zhang Feng knelt there motionless. He had already made up his mind to die and didn't care about Liu Yu's words at all.

Liu Bian seemed not to have heard it. He looked at Yuan Wei and asked, "What's the news about Dong Zhuo?"

He knew that Dong Zhuo had quietly led his troops back, but as for transferring him to the capital, there was no reply yet.

Yuan Wei leaned on a crutch, his thin face remained motionless as he said, "Your Majesty, I'm afraid we'll have to wait until after the coronation ceremony to complete the trip."

This is the official process.

Liu Bian's eyes sharpened a little, and he said in a calm tone: "My dear, I must bring Dong Zhuo to the capital."

Liu Yu, Cao Cao was slightly shocked when he heard Liu Bian's straightforward and unambiguous warning.

They didn't know that Dong Zhuo had already led his troops to Hedong and waited and watched for a few days!

Yuan Wei said: "Your Majesty, the most urgent matter at the moment is to deal with the matter of the general."

"Yuan Qing's House"

Liu Bian's tone became heavier, and he said, "No matter what, Dong Zhuo must enter the capital!"

Liu Yu seemed to realize something. He was already very wary of Dong Zhuo, and he also looked at Yuan Wei with a sullen look.

Yuan Wei remained silent, looking thoughtful.

Liu Bian stared at Yuan Wei and said, "Mr. Yuan's home."

Yuan Kui pondered for a moment and said, "Your Majesty, Dong Zhuo has already refused once. If he refuses again this time, what should the court do?"

Dong Zhuo had previously refused Emperor Ling's appointment as "Shaofu", and the court asked him to be the governor of Bingzhou and hand over his military power. As a result, Dong Zhuo took office as the governor of Bingzhou, but still held the military power in his hands.

"I believe that Yuan Qing's family will find a way." Liu Bian said, suppressing his anger.

Seeing Liu Bian's resolute attitude, Yuan Kui said, "I obey your order."

Liu Bian snorted in his heart, old thing!

For now, we still have to deal with the He Jin issue first.

He looked at Zhang Feng who was kneeling on the ground, thinking of a solution.

He must stabilize the court. Stability is beneficial to him; chaos is beneficial to all ambitious people!

He glanced at Pan Yin, Liu Yu, and Cao Cao who were present.

Cao Cao!

The gaze that had just been moved away suddenly returned.

Liu Bian narrowed his eyes slightly, and his mind was filled with excitement as he quickly thought of a solution!

He looked at Zhang Feng on the ground and said, "Zhang Feng, do you have any other evidence?"

Zhang Feng said: "It's all here. I also copied a copy and sent it to the Supreme Court."

Liu Bian nodded, his eyes suddenly cold, and said: "Decree that all the recorders of the Shangshu, the nine ministers, the Shangshu, the Yilang, and the civil and military officials above the rank of 2,000 stones in the capital shall hold a meeting in the Jiade Hall."

Liu Yu was shocked and blurted out: "Your Majesty, you can't do that!"

Liu Bian glanced at him and asked, "What does Liu Qing have to say?"

Liu Yu raised his hand, his face solemn, and said in a deep voice: "Your Majesty, the matter of the general involves a lot of people, and we must be cautious. The court cannot kill again, and there must be no more party imprisonment. Please think twice."

Liu Bian smiled and said, "Don't worry, my family. I will take care of it. Go and prepare."

Liu Yu looked at Liu Bian's confident expression, hesitated for a while, and finally said, "Yes."

Yuan Wei looked at Liu Bian and began to doubt: What should he do? Cut off his own tail to survive or protect He Jin?

The group left Gyeongbokgung Hall and headed towards Gardeok Hall.

Ding Gong, Liu Hong, Yang Biao and others, who had already rushed into the palace in a hurry, were all summoned to the Jiade Hall.

Not long after, more officials of all ranks outside the palace received the imperial edict. Whether they were filled with fear or worry, everyone gathered in the Jiade Hall with extremely complicated and uneasy thoughts.

Inside the Palace of the Guardian.

There were more than thirty people kneeling. If they were not implicated by the eunuch party and had not resigned from their posts out of fear, the number would have been twice as many.

Yuan Wei was at the front, followed by the three dukes, Wang Yun, Huangfu Song, Yang Biao and others, then the nine ministers, and the vacancies were replaced by assistant officials.

Zhong Yao was among them, as well as some Huangmen Shilang and Shangshu Shilang, such as Xun You and Zheng Tai.

Then there were Cao Cao, Jian Shuo and others, who were not sitting but standing aside.

So many people gathered, and the one involved was the powerful general He Jin, the emperor's brother-in-law. They gathered in twos and threes, whispering.

Few could remain calm. Since Emperor Huan, two party imprisonments had almost brought the gentry to collapse.

After Emperor Lingdi passed away, General He Jin attempted to exterminate the eunuch party again and again and started a massacre.

Now, He Jin is being retaliated by the eunuch party again. Will history repeat itself and the Party Persecution Disaster happen again?

As He Jin's aides, Xun You, Zheng Tai and others who were recommended by He Jin to take office were the most worried.

"Your Majesty is here!"

Suddenly, a long, sharp scream came from the side door.

Then Liu Bian, wearing a crown and robes, strode out.

Everyone immediately fell silent, raised their hands and bowed, saying, "Your Majesty, we pay our respects to you."

"No need to be polite, everyone." Liu Bian knelt down and said with a smile.

"Thank you, Your Majesty." The court officials put down their hands and returned to their original seats, but their eyes were all on Liu Bian.

How He Jin was dealt with and to what extent was determined by just one sentence from the young emperor.

How will he deal with it?

Everyone was worried and uneasy.

Zhang Feng was brought up and knelt in the hall.

The court officials looked over with almost disgust on their faces.

Zhang Feng met these gazes indifferently, but smiled instead, with a look of great pleasure on his face.

As Zhang Rang's adopted son, he was once the "Empress Dowager" and enjoyed great glory. Ever since Zhang Rang was killed, he has been terrified. That night, he happened to be in a brothel and escaped the disaster.

He originally thought that he could save his life by relying on the relationship between his wife and He Jin, but who knew that He Jin would never let the eunuch party go and vowed to wipe them out completely.

He hid himself, hoping to wait out the storm, but he never expected that He Jin would "take sick leave", and the He family became so anxious that they actually wanted to report him in order to "atone for their sins"!

Zhang Feng was desperate and made up his mind to drag everyone down with him!

Liu Bian sat in the upper seat, taking in the expressions of these people. He thought about it and said with a smile as warm as spring breeze, "My lords, you all know what happened. Tell me what to do."

The court officials looked at Liu Bian and then at each other, with different expressions, but no one spoke.

Seeing that they were silent, Liu Bian called out their names, "Yuan Qing's family?"

Yuan Wei raised his hand and said, "I respectfully listen to your wise decision."

Liu Bian looked past him and stopped at Wang Yun, saying, "Wang Qing's family?"

Wang Yun raised his hand and said, "I respectfully listen to your wise decision."

Liu Bian frowned and looked around. Almost everyone lowered their heads and did not look at him, and it was obvious that they were avoiding him.

There was silence in the court.

Zhang Feng knelt on the ground, sneering in his heart.

Do these people dare to speak? Punish He Jin, these people are all his followers, and they must all be buried with him!

No one spoke. Liu Bian thought for a moment, then opened the box in front of him and took out pieces of paper.

This action frightened so many people that they couldn't sit still on their knees, their eyes were filled with fear and their expressions were panic-stricken.

Yuan Wei watched Liu Bian's movements, with a sharp look in his eyes.

Ding Gong, Liu Hong, Liu Yu and others suddenly stopped breathing, held their breath, and frowned.

Xun You and others who were closer to He Jin, and even Cao Cao, had serious expressions.
