Han Dynasty Achievements

Chapter 7: The Great Autumn

"Nonsense!"

Before he finished speaking, Liu Bian interrupted him and said, "The royal family has always been friendly and harmonious, there is no need for so many problems!"

Jian Shuo's heart trembled, and he said in a hurry: "Yes, yes, it was Zhang Rang and his people who instigated discord and spread rumors. The royal family is naturally harmonious. Your Majesty, I am innocent, and I was framed by them..."

Liu Bian hummed and said, "I, I think so too. My mother, grandmother and King Bohai think so too. From now on, you will focus on guarding the North Palace. Never allow the incident of breaking into the palace to happen again!"

Jian Shuo was as if he had been pardoned. He kowtowed repeatedly and said, "Yes, I obey your order!"

Liu Bian held down Jian Shuo and turned to Pan Yin.

Pan Yin lowered his head, feeling inexplicably scared.

Unlike Jian Shuo, he was favored by the previous emperor. As a constant attendant, he was one of the leaders of the "Wai Tai" and could be said to be in a high position of power.

He was just a small eunuch, extremely inconspicuous among the hundreds of eunuchs in the palace.

Such a bloody incident today has scared him!

The new emperor's gaze gave him an extremely bad feeling!

Liu Bian looked at Pan Yin and smiled, "What's your name?"

Pan Yin lowered his head even more and said, "Your Majesty, my name is Pan Yin."

Liu Bian's eyes flickered slightly, and he said, "You did a good job today. I order you to be the Grand Chamberlain, in charge of the North and South Palaces!"

The Grand Chamberlain is actually the chief steward of the imperial palace!

Pan Yin suddenly opened his eyes wide and looked at Liu Bian with disbelief.

Just as Empress Dowager He was about to speak, Liu Bian reached out and pulled her. Empress Dowager He stopped talking immediately and looked at her son, whose personality had changed suddenly, with a puzzled look on her face.

Jian Shuo's expression changed, but he still lay on the ground.

"You don't want to?" Liu Bian's smile slowly faded and he looked at Pan Yin and said.

Pan Yin fell to the ground with a thud, and said repeatedly: "I am willing! I obey your command! I thank your Majesty!"

Great Changqiu!

Something I wouldn’t even dare to dream of!

Liu Bian looked outside the palace gate again and said, "The changes in the palace are too big this time. You have to send some people out of the palace and recruit some more people in. You have to have a clean record. Do you know how to do it?"

Pan Yin's mind suddenly seemed to become clear, he fell to the ground and said, "I know, I know. I know."

Liu Bian glanced at Jian Shuo and said, "Just do it. I will take care of everything. Attendant Jian will assist you."

Liu Bian added a little emphasis to the word "assist".

Pan Yin lowered his head and glanced at Jian Shuo.

Before Liu Bian said a few words, he was still a eunuch, one of the dozen or so eunuchs under Jian Shuo.

Jian Shuo looked at the ground in front of him, his face changing, and he said in a gentle tone: "Your Majesty, please rest assured. I will definitely help the Grand Chamberlain to handle the affairs of the palace."

Seeing this, Liu Bian felt relieved. He thought carefully and said to himself, "This way, the palace should be basically stable."

Pan Yin has no power or influence and must rely on him.

Jian Shuo was not tolerated by anyone inside or outside the palace. If one did not want to die, one had to please him.

Gong Jianshuo in the north and Cao Cao in the south restrained each other, so it would not be easy for the civil officials outside to do anything.

"It's probably not enough, it needs to be refined." Liu Bian thought secretly.

As he was thinking, there was a sound of hurried footsteps outside the door, and then a eunuch came in and said, "Your Majesty, General Dong Chong wants to see you."

Liu Bian didn't care about Dong Zhong. He just put him in there to interfere with He Jin's power group.

Liu Bian then thought of Queen Mother Dong, and then thought of more things. He couldn't help but smile and said, "Let him in."

The eunuch responded and left quickly.

Liu Bian glanced at Empress Dowager He and whispered, "Mother, please prepare the banquet. We will entertain my uncle tonight."

Empress Dowager He naturally didn't want her son and her brother to have too much trouble. She looked around again and saw that no one gave her any advice, so she whispered, "You should talk to your uncle nicely."

Liu Bian agreed readily. After Empress Dowager He left, Liu Bian sat on a chair, looked at Pan Yin and Jian Shuo, exhaled lightly, half lay on the chair, closed his eyes, and let his tense spirit slowly relax and calm down.

Before long, he had to continue thinking about the current situation.

He Jin's original power was great enough. Now that he has eliminated the Twelve Eunuchs and there is no check and balance, if he can also prove his merit in "correcting the emperor and eliminating the thieves", his power will be unimaginable!

Perhaps, no one will be able to say no to him!

We cannot let He Jin get the credit, we must find ways to restrict He Jin!

Otherwise, Liu Bian would have become a puppet.

Pan Yin saw Liu Bian frowning and thinking hard, lowering his head, thinking about what to do. He was suddenly the Grand Chamberlain, and he was both excited and flustered.

Jian Shuo seized the opportunity and suddenly stepped forward and whispered, "Your Majesty, I have a little wealth and would like to offer it to Your Majesty to fill the palace."

Zhongfu was the emperor's secret treasury.

Liu Bian slowly raised his eyelids, looked at him and asked, "How much do you have?"

Jian Shuo couldn't figure out Liu Bian's thoughts, so he said cautiously, "My family has been doing business for generations. I roughly estimate that I have 100,000 strings of cash, and 1,000 hectares of land."

One string is one thousand coins, equivalent to one tael of silver.

This Jian Shuo actually has 100,000 taels of silver!

Liu Bian's eyes lit up slightly, and he said thoughtfully: "It's quite a lot..."

You need money to get things done, small money leads to small things, big money leads to big things!

Although Jian Shuo lowered his head, he was actually watching Liu Bian's expression. He said immediately: "This is a rough estimate, maybe there is more."

Liu Bian understood and said with a smile: "You are thoughtful. With me here, you don't have to worry."

Hearing the word "Qing", Jian Shuo felt relieved. He bowed deeply and said, "Thank you, Your Majesty."

Liu Bian vaguely heard footsteps, leaned forward, got close to Jian Shuo, and whispered: "Isn't it possible that Zhang Rang and others have more wealth?"

Jian Shuo immediately said, "As far as I know, they are ten times better than me!"

ten times!

Liu Bian's heart jumped, and before he could calculate, he saw a foot stepping over. He said, "Tonight, the Grand Chamberlain will go with you to try him!"

Jian Shuo heard someone coming in at this time, and quickly responded and moved aside.

Liu Bian looked outside the door and saw a thin man with a round face and a happy expression almost trotting in. He quickly raised his hand to salute Liu Bian and said, "I am General Dong Zhong of the Cavalry. I pay my respects to Your Majesty!"

Originally, Liu Bian had hoped that Dong Zhong had some ability to create some trouble for He Jin and hinder him, but when he saw him like this, he couldn't help but feel disappointed.

Liu Bian did not move, and said calmly: "Has the imperial decree been issued?"

Dong Zhong's heart trembled, then he smiled respectfully and said, "Your Majesty's words are golden. What you say is your will. I have come here to thank you for your grace."

Liu Bian blinked his eyes. He could see that this man was a bit shameless. In name, he was expressing his gratitude, but in fact, he was rushing to confirm the position, fearing that the General of Cavalry would run away.

Liu Bian looked at Dong Zhong, and when he looked a little embarrassed, he slowly asked, "Is your last name Dong or Liu?"
