Chapter 53: Listen to the government


The next day, the Empress Dowager He ordered He Jin to take part in the affairs of the minister, and all the other ministers were awarded rewards.

Those who deserved the title were rewarded.

Even Cao Cao and Xun Yu, who just came to watch the show but did nothing, were rewarded.

On the same day, Liu Bian was enthroned as the new emperor, and the funeral of Emperor Ling was hastily held.

The court also returned to normal, and Zhang Rang and the other nine people also settled down, as if they had changed their minds, and were obedient to He Jin in everything.

Emperor Ling died suddenly, and the new emperor's accession to the throne was announced by the imperial court to all states and counties.

After all, this is a big deal and everyone in the world needs to know about it.

He Jin is also the dominant one in the court.

However, there was still someone in the harem who was unconvinced, and that was Empress Dowager Dong, the adoptive mother of Emperor Ling.

When Emperor Ling was still alive, Empress Dowager Dong always persuaded Emperor Ling to appoint Wang Zixie as the crown prince because she preferred Wang Zixie.

Emperor Ling himself also preferred Wang Zixie, and Empress Dowager Dong strongly recommended it.

However, what he didn't expect was that when Emperor Ling and Jian Shuo were conspiring, the matter was exposed, and he died of anger.

He Jin took over the matter and promoted Prince Bian to the throne.

Empress Dowager Dong thought of what Zhao Zhong and others said when they came to her palace before Ling Emperor's accident, so she asked her cronies to secretly summon Zhang Rang and others to come and see her.

"I have met Empress Dowager Dong."

Zhang Rang and the other nine people came to the Empress Dowager Dong and knelt down.

"Get flat" "I don't know what Empress Dowager Dong announced that I'm waiting for you.

If necessary, I'll fight to the death," Zhang Rang said.

When they came, they had already made some guesses, but they didn't get a clear answer, and they didn't dare to speak for fear of causing unnecessary trouble.

"What a man who would never give up even if he died," Queen Mother Dong drank, "My son never treated you badly when he was alive.

Why did you surrender to that butcher He Jin as soon as my son died, and why would you not give up even if he died?"

"Empress Dowager Dong, we have been wronged."

Zhang Rang and the other nine people immediately knelt down.

"It's unfair, isn't it true?"

Empress Dowager Dong said angrily.

Zhang Rang glanced at Empress Dowager Dong's face and knew that Empress Dowager Dong just wanted to beat them.

He felt that it was almost done, so he raised his head and said: "Empress Dowager Dong Mingjian, we are here today because of your majesty's efforts.

Sincerely, we are also loyal to His Majesty and have absolutely no second thoughts.

Now we are working hard under He Jin, just looking for opportunities."

Empress Dowager Dong didn't say anything, her eyes were shining, she picked up the cold tea and took a sip.

Zhang Rang thought for a moment and continued: "Now that He Jin has great momentum, we cannot fight head-on, we can only outsmart him.

Moreover, He Jin is a butcher and does not have much wisdom.

We have secretly made friends with the Queen Mother He.

Once the time is right, we will After losing He Jin, we can bring down the new emperor on the charge of He Jin's rebellion and push Prince Xie to the throne of God."

"What kind of talent does He Jin's sister have to be the queen mother?

If I hadn't promoted her in the beginning, how could she have become the queen if she was from a commoner family?

Now it's more about the mother than the son, and she doesn't obey me."

The more Empress Dowager Dong talked, the angrier she became.

Especially when she mentioned He Jin and Empress Dowager He, she was almost furious.

Fortunately, she did not lose her mind and said: "But now that her son Liu Bian has inherited the throne and ascended the throne, the internal and external officials are almost...

They are the confidants of the two brothers and sisters, and they hold great power.

Even some veterans dare not say anything about what I will do."

Zhang Rang was secretly happy, they were just planning to please both sides.

If Empress Dowager Dong could defeat He Jin, then they could restore their original glory; if Empress Dowager Dong collapsed, they would continue to compromise and wait for the opportunity.

The memorial said: "Don't worry, Empress Dowager Dong.

Now that the new emperor is young, Empress Dowager Dong can use this reason to listen to the government behind the curtain; she can make Prince Xie king; she can appoint her uncle Dong Zhong to an important position and control the military power; and then let the ministers and others deal with it in secret.

"Dividing the power in He Jin's hands is such a big deal."

Zhang Rang breathed a sigh of relief and continued: "As a result, some ministers in the court will definitely no longer respect He Jin.

Empress Dowager Dong is trying to win over him to consolidate her own power and get rid of He Jin's minions.

He Jin It’s nothing to worry about.”

Hearing this, Empress Dowager Dong was overjoyed, and her joy was evident on the surface.

"Okay, okay, if this happens, the Ai family will definitely be rewarded heavily," Empress Dowager Dong said with a smile, stroking her hands.

"Thank you, Queen Mother Dong," Zhang Rang and others said in unison.

"You go down first.

This matter must not be leaked.

Early tomorrow morning, the Ai family will go to the curtain to listen to the government and announce the matter to catch him off guard," Empress Dowager Dong waved.

"promise" Zhang Rang and others bowed and exited the hall, straightened their bodies after exiting the door.

The nine people looked at each other and showed fox-like smiles.

Only they themselves could understand why.

Immediately, they took advantage of the darkness and walked away together.

Morning time the next day.

At the beginning of the morning court, Empress Dowager Dong went directly to the main hall, walked to the new emperor sitting on the dragon throne, and then turned to look at the ministers.

"See Empress Dowager Dong, the Empress Dowager is a thousand years old, a thousand years old, a thousand years old," the officials knelt down and said.

Although they didn't know why Empress Dowager Dong came at this time, they didn't dare to have any objections.

Even He Jin also knelt down and knelt down.

After all, the identity of Empress Dowager Dong was still there.

As a minister, he needed to knelt down and knelt down.

There was no way he could avoid it.

Empress Dowager Dong looked at the ministers who were kneeling down and then glanced at He Jin who was kneeling at the front.

He said directly: "The former emperor has just died, the new emperor is young, and many affairs of the government cannot be handled properly.

The Ai family will listen to the affairs behind the curtain from now on.

Prince Xie will be named King Chenliu, Dong Zhong will be made a general of hussars, and Zhang Rang and others will jointly control it.

"State affairs" "Follow Empress Dowager Dong's decree," the officials shouted.

Empress Dowager Dong made it clear that she had bad intentions as soon as she opened her mouth, and she came in person anyway.

This was a royal matter anyway, and it had nothing to do with them as courtiers.

Why bother to get into trouble?

It was the right way to agree quickly.

Didn't you see that He Jin didn't refute?

It can be said that this matter has been confirmed.

He Jin knelt on the ground, with his head lowered and a ruthless light in his eyes.

Although he was not smart, he also knew that he could not refute Empress Dowager Dong's words at this time, otherwise he might be accused of a crime, which would not be worth the gain, so he could only Let's go back and think about it in the long term.

Empress Dowager Dong was also very satisfied.

With her arrangement, she was able to confirm everything without the officials being able to refute it.

She was also very satisfied.

"Please, all ministers, please live in peace," Empress Dowager Dong raised her hand and said.

"Thank you, Queen Mother Dong" The ministers also stood up from the ground.

Empress Dowager Dong nodded and said, "You don't have to worry about Aijia when you continue your morning court."

After saying that, he sat behind the new emperor.

The new emperor Liu Bian did not dare to make any moves, not to mention his rather cowardly character.

The morning court ended quickly with the officials handling it casually.

After all, they had to digest such a thing.

It was obvious that Empress Dowager Dong did not like He Jin and the new emperor, and the new emperor had just ascended the throne.

How could she still be in the mood to attend the morning court?

, the right way is to go back and consider countermeasures:
