The hall was brightly lit.
The group of elite civil officials gathered under Great General He Jin's command had a heart of gold. Each of them had different thoughts and plans.
It was only because the eunuchs were the shields pushed out by the emperor and had caused trouble for many years.
Driven by the righteousness of killing officials, a group of people with completely different personalities and plans came together.
It was worth mentioning that this kind of execution was also a tradition of the Great Han Dynasty.
Emperor Guangwu revived the Han Dynasty. In order to prevent Lu Zhi, Wang Mang and other relatives from seizing the Liu family's foundation, he vigorously suppressed the relatives.
At the beginning of the founding of the People's Republic of China, all the relatives were cautious and self-disciplined, and did not dare to violate the ban.
And the reason why there were people like He Jin, who were born as butchers and held the position of great general, who had power in the government and the people.
It was also the fate of the Great Han Dynasty.
In the middle and later stages, most emperors died early in their prime, and the young master succeeded to the throne. The young emperor who ascended the throne often had no blood relationship with the previous empress dowager.
In addition, Emperor An, Emperor Zhi, Emperor Heng, and the emperor Liu Hong were all from the royal family and were outside the royal family. They entered the North Palace and ascended the throne.
As the saying goes, the emperor's reign has been cut off many times, and the power belongs to the female owner. There are four emperors outside and six queens in charge of the court.
And the Empress Dowager was a daughter, so she had to rely on her father and brother, which caused the situation of the consorts.
The consorts helped the young emperor sit on the throne.
When the Son of Heaven was older and wanted to take back his supreme power, he would use the power of the eunuchs to assist the gentry to eliminate the eunuchs.
He would wait for the next emperor to repeat this cycle.
The consorts, eunuchs, and aristocrats were the stable triangular structure of the Han Dynasty.
Therefore, the Emperor Liu Hong had allowed the Great General to ally with the aristocrats.
On the other hand, he favored the Ten Generals and supported his youngest son Liu Xie, forming a confrontation with the gentry.
Many heroes in the hall.
There was a loyal and loyal man of the Han Dynasty who wanted to kill the villain beside the emperor and make the government clear.
There were also conspirators who could not forget to destroy the eunuchs and break the decades of stability of the Great Han Dynasty. They wanted to extinguish the last flame of the Great Han Dynasty's fortune.
Therefore, in the face of the sudden appearance of the Heavenly Dao Stone Stele and the exposure of King Guangyang's strength, he had no choice but to face the Heavenly Dao Stone Stele.
General He Jin's aides and disciples also had their own plans.
"Prince Guangyang has two late stage Spirit Concentration Realm experts and one peak stage Spirit Concentration Realm expert. Including himself, there are four top experts.”
"Great grandmasters can be encountered but not sought. Even the family of four generations and three dukes can't cultivate a great grandmaster.”
When one's martial arts cultivation reached the fourth realm, one could already be called a grandmaster of a generation.
If one's cultivation was stuck at the peak of Inner Qi Coagulation, the world would call them Great Grandmasters.
"Being strong is only a small aspect. Although Liaoxi is a small county with a vast land and a sparse population, I heard that King Guangyang's fief has been doing well in the past few years. He is as rich as Handan.”
"What's even more terrifying is that I haven't paid attention to him in the past, so I don't know how much he's hiding!”
Seeing that everyone was discussing in low voices and did not care much about him, anger flashed across He Jin's face and he shouted,
"What do you think of this King Guangyang?”
The ministers and gentry looked at each other and did not speak for a moment.
Xun Yu twisted his butt that was stuck to the chair, and a thought flashed in his eyes.
After seeing the strength of Liu Yu's generals, his first thought was to transfer Prince Guangyang into the capital and use his unparalleled martial strength to kill the eunuchs in exchange for a clear government.
Although he was loyal to the Han Dynasty, Xun Yu was not a stubborn fool.
To the gentry, eunuchs were natural enemies.
However, in the eyes of the Great General, a hundred of the Ten Attendants of the Regular could not compare to Liu Yu, who was threatening his power.
Seeing that the scholar-bureaucrat ministers who used to talk so loudly had become mute, He Jin sighed to himself, a hint of worry appearing in his eyes.
In the eyes of the gentry, everything was for the sake of preserving the clan.
If it was before, among the few princes of the Great Han Dynasty…
Liu Xie was favored by the emperor and raised in the North Palace all year round. He was close to eunuchs.
Thus, the gentry clans could only choose the butcher He Jin whom they looked down on and Liu Bian who stood behind him.
But now, there was a King Guangyang who had the ability to compete for the Supreme throne.
It was originally a steady win, but now it was a 50 - 50 chance.
The aristocratic families would naturally begin to hesitate.
Before He Jin gathered his aides, he had already heard that many aristocrat ministers had visited the two teachers of King Guangyang, Cai Yong and Lu Zhi.
Out of some necessary fear, he didn't call Minister Lu Zhi for this secret meeting.
"Since no one is speaking, let me ask the question.”
"The King of Guangyang has many fierce generals, like the Governor of Liaoxi, Huang Zhong. He is strong and fierce, and his minions are people like Guan Ying and Xiahou Ying.”
"In addition, it occupies a vassal state and a border county. It is quite powerful. Do you have any plans to weaken it?”
Faced with He Jin's two questions, the aides and ministers thought hard.
Someone quickly answered. It was the city gate captain, Zhu Xi.
"Great General, although King Guangyang has many generals, the battle is not only about the courage of one or two people, but also the elites of the army.”
"Even the Conqueror Xiangyu, with his peerless martial arts, couldn't escape the encirclement of tens of thousands of top-tier armies.”
"The army can condense a strong will and fuse with the essence of heaven and earth to form a murderous aura that is far stronger than inner Qi and spiritual power.”
"Under the baleful aura of the army, the strength of generals and civil officials will be greatly weakened. A top-tier army can even produce an army talent that is no weaker than a top-notch expert.”
"Luoyang and Si Li have the well-trained West Garden Imperial Army, as well as the Northern Army's eight lieutenants inherited from Emperor Xiaowu of the previous dynasty.”
He Jin's eyes lit up.”
"If he dares to come, I'll definitely make him fall from the top of the General Ranking," Zhu Xiong said confidently.”
When Xun Yu heard this, he frowned.
The meaning in Zhu Rong's words was that he wanted to kill King Guangyang.
It was disrespectful!
Another person stood up and said,
"Actually, in terms of generals, the Great Han is on par with Lord Guangyang, and in terms of numbers, they far surpass him.”
"There are other generals on the ranking. Great General, you are above the three dukes. If you are conscripted, very few people will refuse.”
"For example, Liu Bei, Guan Yu, and the other two on the list are only small county officers. If you treat them as marquises and generals, they will definitely serve you wholeheartedly.”
Following that, Yuan Shao rolled his eyes and puffed out his chest.
"If the situation is critical, we can also recruit foreign troops into the capital if King Guangyang and the Ten Attendants of the Supreme Court join forces. The Liangzhou warlords and the dukes of Bingzhou can crush King Guangyang.”
"There are precedents for this. When the Son of Heaven first ascended the throne, Dou Wu, who was then the Great General, did not recruit foreign soldiers, causing him to be killed by eunuchs.”
Yuan Shao's words were shocking, and everyone in the hall was shocked and lost their voices.
He Jin was tempted.
"General, you can't do that. It's different now." Chen Lin quickly advised.”
"After the Yellow Turban Rebellion, the foreign warlords monopolized power in the local areas and did not listen to the central government's orders. If they were to be summoned into the capital rashly, the heroes of all sides would have different thoughts. Luoyang's military strength is weaker than theirs.”
Cao Cao, Xun Yu, and the others also tried to persuade him.
Seeing that most people were adamant, He Jin could only temporarily suppress the idea of summoning foreign soldiers and said,
"King Guangyang is very powerful, and there are signs of chaos in the vassal states. Do you have any plans to contain him?”
This time, no one spoke.
Even Yuan Shao, who wanted to stir up trouble in the court, looked around and kept quiet.
The reason for this.
Everyone doubted or believed that the fifteen-year-old Prince Guangyang had become one of the few dukes in the world within three years.
They all had someone backing them up.
And to be able to hide it from Empress He and the Great General, and to train someone with the strength of the country.
Only the bedridden Emperor of the Han Dynasty, Liu Hong.
Although they verbally criticized the emperor for being fatuous and close to eunuchs and villains.
However, the officials knew that this was the emperor's way of resisting the nobles.
The young emperor who ascended the throne, reinstated the party ban, and suppressed the aristocrats for more than ten years.
His personality was selfish and he did not care about government affairs. He only cared about plundering wealth and did not care about the people of Great Han.
But he was definitely not a fool.
If it wasn't for the fact that the fate of the Great Han was about to end, the Son of Heaven, who held great power, could be considered a wise ruler in a sense.
It was possible that this little cunning fellow, King Guangyang, was Liu Hong, this old cunning fellow's chess piece.
If Liu Bian and Liu Xie, who stayed in Luoyang, were like the Liang and Ji Dynasties, they would be persecuted by the relatives of the aristocratic families.
The King Guangyang that was released was the backup plan to reorganize the Han Dynasty.
Only in this way could he clearly explain how monstrous King Guangyang was!
But now, the emperor was still here. As the emperor's last resort, if he really attacked him...
Perhaps, the despairing Emperor Liu Hong would drag the others down with him.
Therefore, everyone fell silent.
When He Jin saw this, he sighed and waved his hand."Forget it. From now on, we'll pay close attention to them and let them live in the border prefectures of Youzhou. Ask Youzhou Overseer Liu Yu to suppress them a little and not let them expand any further.”
He Jin's gaze swept across the nobles who nodded in agreement, secretly despising them.
A sanctimonious person, under the eyes of the public, dare not say anything taboo.
Aren't the hanger-ons and paladins that your aristocratic families secretly nurtured sending out assassins at this time?
They exchanged glances with a few of the aristocratic leaders and smiled at each other.
He Jin, who was secretly planning the assassination, lowered his head, and the terrifying killing intent in his eyes overflowed.
So what if he was a peerless general?
Could it block the attack of a top-tier assassin?!
In the past, when the First Emperor had suppressed the world, he had also been constantly assassinating the six countries and had almost lost his life.
How many lives do you, Liu Yu, have to defend yourself!
