After leaving the harem, Liu Bian led his entourage back to his " office ".
At this moment, the commander of the imperial palace, Huan Dian, was already waiting in the hall.
Beside him stood a dignified and upright official.
"Greetings, Your Majesty!"
When the two saw the emperor return, they immediately prostrated themselves on the ground.
"Get up."
Liu Bian raised his hand.
Next, Huan Dian gave a concise report on the finishing touches.
Yuan Shao, Yuan Shu, and Wu Kuang, the three generals who had attacked the palace gates, had been imprisoned. The other former subordinates of the General's Residence had also been strictly controlled. In theory, the possibility of another mutiny had been eliminated.
Apart from that, the remaining members of the Ten Generals were basically wiped out.
According to Liu Bian's instructions, all eunuchs who were related to the Ten Attendants were detained.
The eunuchs who had followed Zhang Rang in the kidnapping were beheaded.
Due to the influence of the Ten Attendants of the Eternal Court, the number of eunuchs had suddenly decreased, causing a certain degree of problems in the daily work and rest of the Imperial Palace.
But as long as the turbulence could be eliminated, this was nothing.
"Well done."
Liu Bian nodded in satisfaction.
Although Huan Dian was an unknown figure in the eyes of future generations, Liu Bian, who was familiar with history, knew that he was very capable.
When he was a censor in the capital, he had won the respect of many nobles in the capital.
Now, it seemed that the history books were not deceiving him!
"Did the Governor report anything?"
Liu Bian looked at the other person in front of him.
The memory of the original owner of the body told him that this middle-aged man was a famous general in the northwest region. He was also one of the five people Liu Bian had planned to use to deal with Dong Zhuojun. Gai Xun.
"Your Majesty, order has been restored in the city. I am currently trying my best to control the rumors among the people to prevent the dignity of the royal family from being damaged.”
Gai Xun's unusually serious expression carried a hint of uneasiness.
As the Chief Executive of the Capital Territory, he had to bear some responsibility for the huge incident that had happened in the palace, even if the rebellion of such a scale was considered an act of God.
"Yes, with the governor of the capital, I feel much more at ease."”
Not only was he able to restore public order in the shortest time possible, but he was also able to think of controlling the fishing vessel. This Gai Xun was indeed a capable official with both civil and military skills.
"Your Majesty, I don't deserve your praise.”
Gai Xun lowered his head and heaved a sigh of relief.
It seemed that the Emperor did not intend to pursue his fault.
In addition, he also noticed that the empress dowager who was " listening " to the Emperor did not say a word, which was rare. Instead, she let the little Emperor personally preside over the situation, which was really surprising.
Like everyone else, Gai Xun also had the question," Is this still the Emperor?"
However, he also knew that this was not the time to study these things, so he could only forcefully suppress the doubts in his heart.
Suddenly, Gai Xun thought of something and said,"Your Majesty, there is one more thing. According to the investigation, Yuan Kui and Yuan Shao had passed a false edict before, ordering Fan Ling and Xu Xiang to serve in the capital. Minister Xu was dead, but Fan Ling had disappeared after entering the city.”
"Fan Ling?"
Liu Bian repeated the unfamiliar name and quickly thought about it in his mind."Oh right, I remember now. This guy is a capable person.”
According to the impression in the history books, Fan Ling's ability and loyalty to the Imperial Family were very high.
In the original history, he was killed by Yuan Shao's uncle and nephew together with Minister Xu by the external help of the "eunuch party". It was truly a pity.
However, perhaps because he had changed the turning point of history, this person had actually managed to survive the political chaos.
"Find him and tell him that I can give him a chance to redeem himself."”
Since Fan Ling was still alive, how could he not accept such a capable person?
"Yes!"
Gai Xun nodded and solemnly accepted the order.
At this moment, an old man walked in quickly after passing the guard's inspection. It was Lu Zhi.
He came here travel-worn and panted a few times. He said anxiously,"Your Majesty, I've already sent an envoy to Dong Zhuo's army. At the same time, I learned from the courier station that Dong Zhuo's army will arrive at the capital in one and a half days!”
"So fast?"
Gai Xun and Huan Dian looked at each other in surprise.
Dong Zhuo's progress was faster than expected!
"Is the information reliable?"
Empress Dowager He, who had been silent all this while, clenched her fists tightly and could not help but ask.
"Replying to the Empress Dowager, the scouts at the relay station all brought the same information, so there shouldn't be any mistakes."”
"W-what should I do?"
Empress Dowager He's face was pale, and she was filled with regret and fear.
What he regretted was that he shouldn't have been soft-hearted and protected the Ten Attendants of the Eternal, resulting in today's situation.
He was afraid that with the tragic death of his brother He Jin, it would be difficult for the current Imperial Capital to gather enough military power. He was afraid that they would not be able to stop Dong Zhuo's threat.
Liu Bian wasn't surprised by Dong Zhuojun's progress.
Fatty Dong had most likely already heard the news of the He family's downfall. He knew that a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity had arrived, so of course, he would rush to the capital without stopping.
In addition, through history, he knew that although Dong Zhuo still had some misgivings and was very cautious, his envoy probably wouldn't be able to delay for too long.
In fact, before the chaos of the Ten Generals began, He Jin had already regretted inviting Dong Zhuo over and sent Zhong Shao to stop the latter.
Unfortunately, it was useless.
However, Liu Bian did not think that Dong Zhuo was unstoppable.
His gaze was now on the other warlords that He Jin had recruited previously.
That's right, Liu Bian's plan was to use the warlords to attack the warlords!
