"The taste is extremely good. I heard that Cai Yan is the number one talented woman in the world. I didn't expect that her cooking is also the best in the world.”
After Liu Yue took another bite of the food, he praised it endlessly.
After eating their fill, the group headed towards the palace.
When he was about to enter the palace, Cai Yong pondered for a while and decided to say a few words,
"Imperial Uncle, although you are talented and resourceful, this is your first time entering the palace. You must abide by the rules.”
"After entering the palace, there are two people you must be careful with.”
"Two people?" Liu Yue was puzzled.
"The first is the palace master, Empress Dowager He, and the other is the constant attendant, Zhang Rang.”
"You have to be humble and not show off too much.”
As the emperor's advisor, Cai Yong had considered all aspects.
The reason he wanted Liu Yue to do this was to not offend either side. Empress Dowager He and the Ten Attendants were people with real power.
Liu Yue nodded respectfully, his heart filled with gratitude.
After entering the palace, the two of them got off the carriage and walked. The guards in the palace all knew Shi Zhong Cai and had the token in their hands. Naturally, there was no obstruction along the way.
Liu Yue looked at the majestic palace and felt very emotional. According to historical records, in a few months, this Great Han Imperial Palace would become Dong Zhuo's territory.
This place would become hell on earth, with countless casualties.
Along the way, when they arrived at the gate of Yong 'an Palace, Cai Yong said to the reporting eunuch,"
"Cai Yong has brought Liu Yue to greet Empress Dowager He.”
Soon, the reporting eunuch went in to report.
……
In a side hall of the Imperial Palace.
"Lord Zhang, something bad has happened."
A young eunuch hurriedly ran in from outside and said before he could stand firm.
The Ten Attendants of the Regular Order were all in place in the side hall. Each and every one of them looked extraordinary and held great power.
"Why are you so flustered? What happened?”
An old eunuch dressed in luxurious clothes spoke in a calm tone. This person was the head of the Ten Attendants, Zhang Rang. At this moment, his face was cold as he cast a sharp gaze at the young eunuch.
The young eunuch felt the coldness in the old eunuch's eyes and said in a trembling voice,""In recent months, Great General He Jin has been training his troops and Yuan Shao has also been recruiting soldiers and buying horses. Could it be that they want to make a move?”
The young eunuch finally finished speaking with difficulty and let out a long sigh.
"You can leave first." Zhang Rang said.
Another old eunuch, Sun Zhang, said,"
"Since there's such a thing, why don't we strike first?”
"Humph! I don't think they would dare."
Zhang Rang's face was ashen as he snorted and slammed the table.
"Empress Dowager wants to rely on us now, and He Jin has no reinforcements in the capital. Even if he had a hundred guts, he wouldn't dare to make a move against us.”
"He's a butcher, so he doesn't have much foresight. Moreover, the Imperial Army is in our hands. Who would dare touch us?”
The Ten Attendants nodded in agreement when they heard what their boss said.
Zhao Zhong sneered.
"Yuan Shao's son has four generations of three dukes. He often does things that don't respect us.”
Zhang Rang chuckled.
"This Yuan Shao brat is merely He Jin's lackey, nothing to fear.”
"When the previous emperor was still alive, the Yuan family was not even worthy of carrying our shoes.”
When the Spirit Monarch was still alive, he had doted on Zhang Rang and called him " Father Rang." It was simply inconceivable. The dignified Emperor called a eunuch his father. It was clear that Zhang Rang's power had reached the heavens at that time.
"When the previous emperor was alive, it was our most glorious time.”
Guo Sheng couldn't help but sigh.
Not only did the Spirit Emperor address Zhang Rang as his father, but he also handed over the imperial guards to the Ten Generals.
Now that Liu Bian had succeeded to the throne, Empress Dowager He held the power in the palace.
Because the Emperor did not value these eunuchs as much as he did when the Spirit Monarch was still around, these eunuchs had a deep sense of crisis.
Zhang Rang narrowed his eyes, which were more white than black, and said darkly,
"So what if there are four generations and three dukes of the Yuan Family? The current situation is that whoever holds the military power is the boss. What we need to do now is to seize the military power. With the military power, there is nothing to fear from a small Yuan Shao.”
"Boss is wise."
"What a brilliant plan."
"Boss is Boss."
"Why didn't we think of this?”
The Ten Attendants sighed with emotion. They felt that Zhang Rang was very knowledgeable.
Zhang Rang pressed his hands together and said expressionlessly,"
"When the former emperor was still alive, he called me father. Whoever dares to go against us is going against the former emperor. Such a person must die without a place to hide.”
The eunuch who came to report finally calmed down and said,"
"I also inquired about one more thing.”
Xia Yun snorted coldly and said,
"If you have something to say, just say it. If you say any more nonsense, I'll teach you a lesson.”
The little eunuch knew about Xia Yun's fierce reputation. He shivered in his heart and said in a trembling voice,
"A few days ago, Attendant Cai recommended a person to the Empress Dowager. It is said that he is the disciple of Wang Situ. Now, there are rumors in Luoyang that this person is as talented as Guan Yu and Yue Yi.”
"What? You dare to compare yourself to Guan Zhong and Yue Yi?”
"Guan Zhong and Yue Yi are both people who assisted the emperor and achieved great achievements. How dare a child compare with them?”
"Zhang Yun, are you exaggerating?”
Xia Yun asked the young eunuch who reported the news.
The Ten Attendants were skeptical about this matter. They had lived in the palace for a long time and fought openly and secretly every day. They rarely paid attention to the outside world.
