One hundred and seventy-six Liu Bian ascended the throne
Emperor Ling’s fallen ill this time is different from the previous few times.
At the beginning, the condition was not serious, and even the eunuchs, including Emperor Ling, did not care much.
In addition to dealing with necessary things, Emperor Ling continued to eat, drink and have fun, and indulged with the palace maids in the West Garden. The eunuchs continued to find ways to make Emperor Ling happy...
However, this disease lasted for several months, and Emperor Ling felt something was wrong, so he stepped up his arrangements.
Help Dong's relatives consolidate their strength, give Jian Shuo more power, and even personally support him.
Not only that, Emperor Ling also tried to cut off He Jin's wings outside Luoyang, such as Dong Zhuo who was leading troops in the Three Auxiliary Land to fight against Han Sui with Huangfu Song.
Before and after the Yellow Turban Rebellion, Dong Zhuo climbed up to He Jin's high branches with Yuan Shao's recommendation and became He Jin's subordinate.
This time, Emperor Ling used the positions of Shaofu and Bingzhou Governor to tempt Dong Zhuo to give up his troops to cut off He Jin's wings, but neither succeeded. Dong Zhuo made all kinds of excuses not to fight against troops.
Emperor Ling knew very well that He Jin was causing trouble, so Emperor Ling directly ordered He Jin to order Dong Zhuo to hand over his troops to Bingzhou to take office.
At Yuan Shao's suggestion, He Jin ordered Dong Zhuo not to hand over all the troops and some of them, and then led his troops to move forward slowly and move towards Bingzhou to gain time for buffering.
Be careful, be slow.
To be honest, Dong Zhuo really wants to go to Bingzhou.
The governor of Bingzhou!
The third state governor in the world!
The military and political power is seized!
Local Emperor!
I missed this good thing this time, will there be another next time?
However, he did not dare to disobey the orders of He Jinjin, and could only swallow his teeth and become a pawn for power struggles among the central leaders.
Originally, He Jin didn't dare to do this, and felt that it would be of no benefit to him when he was blatantly fighting against Emperor Ling.
However, through some relationships within the palace, Yuan Shao accidentally learned that the eunuchs had found famous doctors to come to the palace to see Emperor Ling.
Combined with the recent behavior of Emperor Ling not attending court and not showing up, Yuan Shao has made some bold speculations.
Is Emperor Ling quite sick, so he was so anxious to cut off He Jin's wings and add points to the Dong family's relatives?
Yuan Shao’s guess is right, not right.
It was not until March of the sixth year of Zhongping that Emperor Ling's condition suddenly worsened, and the eunuchs were distracted. Before that, they were all at ease.
The emperor is their guarantee and their heaven. Every time the emperor dies and changes are a life-and-death disaster for eunuchs, especially the great eunuchs in power.
They really didn't want the Spirit Emperor to fall here. He was only in his thirties, so why didn't he?
Unfortunately, the long-term indulgence in alcohol and sex emptied the Ling Emperor's body, and his body collapsed and he could not recover.
The eunuchs secretly asked famous doctors to diagnose Emperor Ling, and the conclusions they came to were very unoptimistic.
Under such a premise, the eunuchs had to start thinking about how to survive this life and death disaster.
The Spirit Emperor seemed to have some premonition, and felt that he was probably in lingering this time.
I am unwilling to give up, really unwilling to give up. I am only in my thirties, but why should I fall here?
Then there is deep concern.
If I really fall here, can the children hold on?
Can you sit firmly on the throne instead of becoming a puppet?
At this time, Emperor Ling realized how correct it was to hand over Luoyang's military power to Jian Shuo to manage, because at this time, only the eunuchs who depended on him could survive could survive.
Even so, not every eunuch can trust. Those eunuchs who are closer to He Jin and Queen He cannot trust. The only people who can trust are a small group of people from Jian Shuo Group.
So Emperor Ling took advantage of his sanity and secretly called Jian Shuo to his bedside alone.
"I'm afraid it won't work anymore, but the Prince Association is young and has no external force to rely on. Except for you, you can use troops to help the Prince Association ascend the throne, no one can do it."
Emperor Ling held Jian Shuo's hand tightly: "The prince Bian is cowardly and timid, and He is arrogant and domineering. I think it is another Emperor Hui. I cannot let Bian inherit the throne, but He Jin will definitely not allow it.
Now I am terminally ill and have no choice but to rely on you. It is important to let the prince ascend to the throne and become the emperor of the Han Dynasty. You must guard him and protect him in full."
Jian Shuo kowtowed in tears and said, "Your Majesty's grace, I will keep it in my heart. Even if I save this life, I must let the prince ascend the throne as the emperor!"
"Um!"
Emperor Ling nodded with great difficulty.
Then he fainted after turning his eyes.
Jian Shuo was immediately panicked.
At this point, he finally confirmed that Emperor Ling would not last long.
He began to prepare.
On April 11, 2016, after Emperor Ling really died, he had already made enough mental preparations.
He made a plan.
"I will not send a funeral secretly, and I will make a proclamation to announce He to enter the palace, and then I will set up the imperial guards under my command. When He comes in, he will be killed! Then the overall situation can be determined and the last wish of the late emperor can be realized."
Jian Shuo was still a little smart, and this plan was indeed not bad. He Jin did not doubt it after receiving the imperial edict, and the people around him did not doubt it, so he let He Jin go.
If it weren't for Jian Shuo's reports, He Jin might have died on the spot.
The second-five boy was named Pan Yin, who was He Jin's old friend. He quietly ran to the palace gate and told the story to He Jin, who was swaying and unprepared.
"The emperor has passed away. The eunuch has set up a dead end, just waiting for the general to enter the dead end! It is best to establish the prince as the emperor! The general must not enter!"
Pan Yin was very nervous about informing He Jin. He Jin was shocked and ran away.
When Jian Shuo was ready, he realized that there was something wrong when he waited for He Went at the left and He Went at the right.
Sure enough, after He Jin returned, he told his subordinates about this matter. Yuan Shao took the lead and was furious and wanted to lead his troops into the palace to kill all the eunuchs. So He Jin clicked on the army that obeyed his orders and began to force the palace.
Jian Shuo led his army loyal to him to guard the palace. The two sides confronted each other for a while, and in the end, Jian Shuo, who had insufficient innate background, became cowardly.
In order to avoid the long nights and dreams, Empress He and He Jin presided over Liu Bian's ascension ceremony on April 13, so the eldest son of the emperor Liu Bian officially ascended the throne, at the age of 14.
Not only that, in order to create a certain fact, after He Jin and Empress He announced a general amnesty in the world, they immediately announced the change of the reign, changing the reign of the sixth year of Zhongping to the first year of Guangxi.
