In Yuan Shu's expectation, as long as he had a good attitude and pleaded guilty, he should be able to escape the disaster with the illustrious halo of the Yuan family behind him.
As for General Wu Kuang, who had no background, it was none of his business.
On the other side, after Lu Zhi received the approval of the Emperor's gaze, he took a step forward and walked out of the crowd.
"Save His Majesty?" he asked coldly. What is the difference between what you, Yuan Gonglu, are doing now and the traitor Zhang Rang's gang? Fortunately, the heavens had blessed the Great Han Dynasty, and the Emperor was more powerful than anyone else, so he was able to avoid a disaster.”
"This old thing!"
Yuan Shu cursed in his heart, but then he was stunned.
Based on the other party's tone, Zhang Rang and the others seemed to have already knelt down?
Right, thinking about it, it made sense.
If the dead eunuchs were still here, the Emperor would not have been able to walk out of the Imperial Palace so openly.
Yuan Shu's mind spun rapidly for a moment before he suddenly thought of something. His heart instantly became even more at ease.
Through his outstanding political ability, he had already foreseen the future situation.
The Great General was dead, and so were the Ten Attendants.
The foreign group and the eunuch group, who had been in control of the government for many years, died together on the same day.
After the two sides fought, who would benefit the most?
The scholar-bureaucrat group!
It could be expected that the royal family would once again rely on the power of civil officials to manage the empire.
He was a descendant of the Yuan Family, a core family of civil officials, and an old subordinate of the General's Residence. His status was self-evident.
With these two identities, Yuan Shu was confident that he would be safe and sound!
In the end, he automatically ignored the second half of Lu Zhi's sentence.
He didn't think that the little Emperor could handle the Ten Attendants of the Everlasting Peace. The real credit must be Old Man Lu's.
"Lu Zhi has made great contributions in protecting the Emperor, he will definitely be put in an important position in the future. He will probably be a great enemy of my Yuan family in the future.”
Since he was certain that the other party could not take him down, Yuan Shu's mind was no longer on his own safety, but thinking about the future political struggle.
However…
"Men, arrest Yuan Shu and Wu Kuang!”
A slightly immature voice came out from the mouth of the youth in the black imperial robe.
"How, how preposterous!"
Yuan Shu was stunned, and his eyes widened.
Wait a minute! Wait a minute!
Shouldn't you, the little Emperor, be like a puppet, saying a few words of courtesy and then obediently disappearing to the side?
Although he had been intimidated by Liu Bian's imposing manner, Yuan Shu thought for a while and thought that the Young Emperor was probably just following Old Man Lu's instructions. Old Man Lu's purpose was naturally to take advantage of the situation to strengthen the lofty image of the imperial power.
The impression that the little Emperor was a coward was already deeply ingrained. Even if he was tough once in a while, it was just an act.
But now, it seemed that the true backbone of this group of people was not Lu Zhi, but the little Emperor!
How was this possible?
Had the little Emperor really changed?
"Your Majesty! Your Majesty! This is all a misunderstanding!"
Yuan Shu looked at the Imperial Forest Guards who were charging towards him aggressively. His expression changed drastically as he shouted.
He shouted "Your Majesty", but his eyes were looking at Lu Zhi.
Although you, Old Man Lu, are not afraid of the powerful, you should also know that once the current fragile imperial power and the Yuan family clash, the order in the court will definitely be even more chaotic!
So, hurry up and persuade that hothead!
Unfortunately, Lu Zhi completely ignored it.
Of course, he understood the consequences of offending the Yuan Family disciples, but he also knew the principle of "no destruction, no establishment".
Although it was indeed reckless to rebuke the Yuan family, courage was far more important than intelligence to realize the great revival of the imperial power.
To achieve this goal, he had to first break the shackles of the rules. How could he be afraid of the Yuan family?
In addition, the current situation in the royal court was about to enter a new round of reshuffling. As long as they acted appropriately, the drawbacks of making enemies with the Yuan family could be minimized.
Therefore, from a long-term perspective, the benefits of His Majesty's current actions outweighed the disadvantages.
Moreover, as long as His Majesty had the ambition to revitalize Liu Han's imperial power, no matter how many problems there were, he would find a way to make up for them.
Liu Bian didn't have as many thoughts as Lu Zhi.
There were only two reasons for him to deal with Yuan Shu.
Through his understanding of history, he knew that if he wanted to restore the imperial power, he had to establish the concept that the imperial power must not be offended.
He just didn't like Yuan Shu.
Whether it was putting on a high and mighty noble attitude in Tiger Cage Pass or openly looking down on the commoners represented by Guan Yu; He was also the first one to claim the title of emperor in the late Han Dynasty.
One could tell that this was an extremely arrogant fellow.
Liu Bian had never had a good impression of people who liked to show off and jump around.
Therefore, he decisively took it down!
"The south gate is settled. Next is Yuan Shao at the north gate.”
After detaining Yuan Shu, Liu Bian looked at the other side of the Imperial Palace, already having a plan in mind.
North Gate.
"Commandant, the eunuchs in the palace have given up resisting. In a moment, we will be able to successfully break into the palace gates.”
An officer reported.
The person he was reporting to was the current Si Li Lieutenant of the Imperial Court, Yuan Shao.
Due to the death of the Great General and his identity as a lieutenant of the West Garden Central Army, Yuan Benchu had already obtained a large amount of military power from the former General's Residence and the West Garden Army. He had also become the most dazzling star among the younger generation of officers in the Empire.
And the biggest obstacle to Liu Bian's ability to quell this rebellion was Yuan Shao!
