After the death of Han Ling Emperor Liu Hong, according to the idea of ​​​​the first of the ten permanent servants, He Jin was eliminated first.

With He Jin's death, Queen He had no support, and naturally could not mobilize the city guards. Without the support of the army, Queen He and Liu Bian were bound to fail.

In this way, Zhang Rang could support Liu Xie to ascend the throne and proclaim himself emperor.

Now that Liu Xie is too young to be in charge of the government, Zhang Rang and the Empress Dowager Dong can participate in the government on the pretext of assisting Liu Xie, and even have power comparable to that of the emperor.

When Liu Xie grows up, he will naturally trust Zhang Rang because of Zhang Rang's contribution to helping him become emperor, just like Liu Hong, the Ling Emperor of the Han Dynasty.

Therefore, Zhang Rang believes that supporting Liu Xie to become emperor will preserve his current power and status, and may even improve him to a higher level.

Therefore, Zhang Rang, Zhao Zhong, Duan Gui and other ten permanent servants discussed how to get rid of He Jin.

In the end, they decided to conceal Liu Hong's death and not announce the funeral secretly. They also used Liu Hong's name to announce He's entry into the palace.

And they ordered a hundred Yulin troops to ambush the palace and wait until He entered the palace to kill him.

When He Jin received Liu Hong's summons, he didn't know that Liu Hong had passed away at this time, so he went directly to the palace to meet Liu Hong without any precautions.

As a result, the guard at the palace gate saw He Jin and didn't know the truth. He stopped He Jin and said to him,"General, please stay." He

Jin saw that the guard who stopped him was an acquaintance, so he asked,"What's the matter?" , do you know why Your Majesty ordered General Ben to enter the palace today?"

The guard glanced into the palace in a panic, and then said nervously:"General, run away quickly, Your Majesty has passed away, Zhang Rang wants to In order to get rid of you, someone pretended to pass an imperial edict to announce your entry into the palace.

In fact, there are already more than a hundred swordsmen and axemen ambushing the palace. As soon as you enter, they will come out from both sides, determined to kill everyone. General, you are staying in the palace!"

He Jin suddenly broke into a cold sweat after hearing the guard's words.

He hurriedly asked:"Your Majesty was fine yesterday, why did he suddenly die today?"

The guard sighed and replied:"I don't know what happened specifically, but I heard that I don't know who The bastard wanted to rebel and offered an elixir to His Majesty.

It turned out that the elixir was poisonous. His Majesty bled to death within an hour after taking the elixir today." After hearing this, He Jin felt his eyes darken, and immediately Without further ado, he fled back to the General's Mansion in a panic and convened everyone to discuss countermeasures.

At the same time, He Jin thought that Liu Hong died after taking the"Elixir of Eternal Transformation". The elixir must be poisonous. However, wasn't the elixir dedicated to Liu Hong by himself?

Thinking of this, He Jin was frightened to death. He secretly thought that the Taoist priest selling elixirs must be someone else pretending to be someone else. He deliberately went to sell elixirs near his residence just to attract his attention.

And he knew that Liu Hong was seeking the way to become an immortal, so he would definitely take this pill regardless of anything else.

But he never thought that this fake Taoist priest was not seeking money, but to murder the emperor.

In other words, it may be that he wants to kill himself.

He knew that he would definitely give this elixir to Liu Hong.

In this way, he not only killed the emperor with his own hands, but also made himself the sinner who murdered the emperor.

Thinking of this, He Jin could no longer hold back the anger in his heart and just wanted to kill the fake Taoist priest who deceived him immediately.

However, the people sent out to search did not find him. After all, after so many days, the man must have run away long ago.

If Zhang Rang and others knew that the elixir was dedicated to Liu Hong, they would definitely tell the world that they were regicides.

In desperation, He Jin could only tell all his subordinates what happened and seek their opinions.

After knowing the whole story, Sili Colonel Yuan Shao analyzed:"Judging from the behavior of this fake Taoist priest, someone must want to frame the general.

But this person must not be Zhang Rang and other ten regular attendants.

First of all, Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty Only by being alive can they ensure their power. They cannot destroy the Great Wall and kill the Ling Emperor in order to frame the general.

Secondly, if it is really them, they will not use false edicts to order the general to enter the palace to murder you, but directly declare that the world is your majesty. He died suddenly after taking the elixir given by the general. The general plotted to kill the emperor and wanted to become the uncle of the country.

In this way, the general would become the object of contempt by the people in the world.

However, they did not do so, which proved that it was not them. I want to frame you."

Then Cao Cao, the captain of the Dian Army, suggested to He Jin:"General, now that Zhang Rang and others have made up their minds to kill you, the only way to deal with it is to seize the opportunity.

We will lead the troops into the palace immediately. , exposed the death of Emperor Ling to his face, and directly declared the prince to be the emperor, and used 5,000 troops to force Zhang Rang to recognize the title of emperor."

Cao Cao's proposal won the approval of most people present.

So He Jin ordered the commander-in-chief Yuan Shao to lead five thousand Luoyang guards into the palace, and in front of the coffin of Emperor Ling, he appointed the prince Liu Bian to succeed him to the throne.

With Liu Bian's accession to the throne, Queen He became the Queen Mother, and General He Jin became the uncle of the state.

Because Liu Bian was young, the general and uncle He Jin assisted in the government affairs and controlled the power in the government.

He Jin, who was in great power, remembered his previous conflict with Zhang Rang and others, and was almost killed by Zhang Rang's design, so he held a grudge against Zhang Rang and wanted to find an opportunity to get rid of Zhang Rang and other ten permanent servants.

Zhang Rang and others knew that they were no longer He Jin's opponents and were afraid of He Jin's revenge, so they ran to Queen Mother He and cried.

Since Liu Hong had great trust in Zhang Rang when he was still alive, and Zhang Rang doted on the Queen Mother He, Zhang Rang originally respected the Queen Mother He very much, and the Queen Mother He also trusted Zhang Rang.

Therefore, when Zhang Rang cried and begged Queen Mother He to intercede with He Jin, Queen Mother He agreed.

Due to the empress dowager's reputation, He Jin could not do anything to Zhang Rang and others in political power.

And if it comes to military affairs and forced fighting, He Jin will take into account half of the Yulin army in Zhang Rang's hands.

There was no good way to get rid of Zhang Rang, which made He Jin depressed, so he asked his subordinates again for strategies.

Yuan Shao said:"Nowadays, there are a large number of troops in every state and county. If the general is worried that he has insufficient troops, why not declare himself as the uncle of the country and invite foreign troops to enter Luoyang King Qin?"

He Jin listened to Yuan Shao's suggestion. , was immediately overjoyed and said:"This is a good plan, so who do you think can take on such a big responsibility?"

At this time, someone said:"The King Liu Feng has a strong army and is a great Han consort, so it is most suitable for him to be the King of Qin in Beijing."

He Jin listened. He shook his head and said:"The strength of King Bingjian is difficult to control in Luoyang, so this person cannot be used."
