Chapter 293

Ding Yuan was taken aback. He had been stationed in Hanoi, but he received news from He Jin yesterday that he died today! I really screwed myself up!

"General Wei, please don't get me wrong! This officer is only here on orders, and he doesn't know about He Jin's rebellion! Please also ask General Wei to investigate clearly!"

Ding Yuan was terrified, got off his horse and knelt down in front of Liu Zhang. Now Ding Yuan knew the situation, Luo Yang was already the head of Liu Zhang's family!

"Inspector Ding, get up, I didn't say you were rebellious!"

Ding Yuan was also polite, and immediately stood up after receiving Liu Zhang's forgiveness, changing his previous attitude.

It turns out that he is also a flatterer! Liu Zhang couldn't help complaining in his heart, he thought Ding Yuan was still a loyal and patriotic person! Now it seems that it is deception after all!

"General Dong has worked so hard, and Inspector Ding has also worked hard! How about it, Inspector Ding also placed his soldiers and horses outside Luoyang City, and then followed me into the palace, just in time to support the new emperor in a few days!"

Ding Yuan's eyes lit up, and he quickly agreed. Didn't he come to Luoyang thousands of miles away to get a reward? Now that Liu Zhang has agreed, it couldn't be better!

"Yes! The officer obeys!"

Ding Yuan ordered Lu Bu to take his soldiers and horses to station aside, while he followed Liu Zhang and others into Luoyang.

Luoyang City, this imperial city seems to have lost its vitality, and can no longer see the bustling scene! Every household closed their doors and the bustling market was deserted. It seemed that the common people knew that today was not a peaceful day.

When he arrived in the palace, the scene in front of him was even more depressing for Liu Zhang!

There are dead people everywhere, there are eunuchs, maids, and soldiers. The palace was originally heavily guarded, but now there is no one in sight!

"Hurry up, clean up the palace quickly! By the way, look for any maids and eunuchs who are still alive, let them all come out, it's okay!"

Liu Zhang gave the order, and the captain of the Yulin Army didn't dare to neglect, and hurriedly surrendered his hands. Three thousand imperial guards rushed into the palace in an instant, and it was considered to have officially taken over the palace!

Changle Palace was originally a palace of the upper court, but now it is full of people, including ministers, maids, guards, and queens and queen mothers!

When Representative Liu Zhang entered the hall, everyone was extremely terrified and retreated to both sides, for fear of offending the evil star!

"My son!"

"Grandson!"

Two female voices exclaimed from the top, it was Empress He and Empress Dowager Dong! They were overjoyed when they saw Liu Zhang leading their son and grandson.

Liu Zhang led a prince straight forward with one hand, handed Liu Bian directly to Empress He, and handed Liu Xie to Empress Dowager Dong, then took a step back and bowed his hands.

"My minister, Liu Zhang, luckily saved my life, rescued the two princes, and returned them to the queen, the queen mother!"

"General Wei, hurry up! The Ai family really doesn't know how to thank General Wei!"

Empress He was the first to speak out, full of gratitude to Liu Zhang, and secretly winked at Liu Zhang.

Liu Zhang's eyelids twitched, and he wondered if he had read it wrong! But this Empress He looks really good, full of coquettishness! Now only twenty-six or seven years old! It's a good age!

It was also the first time Liu Zhang saw Empress He, so he couldn't help but take a few more glances, but Empress He secretly gave him another wink.

"Ok!"

Empress Dowager Dong, who was on the side, saw what Empress He had done, and was immediately very angry, but due to Liu Zhang's power, she dared not say anything.

"General Wei, I don't know if my son will leave a will when he is dying, who will succeed him?"

As soon as Empress Dowager Dong said this, everyone in the hall became nervous and turned their attention to Liu Zhang.

Who will succeed to the throne now depends entirely on Liu Zhang's will! Zhang Rang is dead, and all the ten servants are dead! When Liu Hong was dying, the only person in front of him was Liu Zhang!

Especially Empress He, who looked at Liu Zhang with a begging look on her face, which made Liu Zhang's heart itch!

Liu Zhang was very sure that as long as he could say the word Liu Bian, Empress He would definitely be willing to pay any price!

"The first emperor... this..."

All the ministers are going to be scared to death by Liu Zhang. There are only two of them in total, so just say it out loud, okay? Do not procrastinate!

It's a pity that the emperor is not in a hurry, but the eunuch is in a hurry! It's no use rushing! I can only wait here! No one dared to step forward to urge Liu Zhang.

"How about this, everyone is shocked today, and the palace is also very chaotic. I have already ordered someone to clean it. Three days later, I will gather all the ministers in Yongle Palace, and we will discuss this matter again!"

After waiting for a long time, Liu Zhang still didn't say anything, which whetted everyone's appetite! However, this also aroused the dissatisfaction of Queen Mother Dong.

"General Wei, why wait? Just say no?"

Liu Zhang glanced at Empress Dowager Dong indifferently, feeling a little dissatisfied in his heart, no wonder she died so early!

If she didn't have herself, she would have been killed by Queen He long ago. She never thought she would treat herself like this!

Empress Dowager Dong said she was the Empress Dowager, but she was not really old, she was just fifty years old, and she was well maintained.

"Mother, General Wei has worked so hard, coupled with today's panic, the lack of ministers, the delay is only natural! Why does mother press so hard?"

Unexpectedly, Liu Zhang didn't have to speak at all, and Empress He would go back to Empress Dowager Dong for herself.

Looking at her daughter-in-law and Liu Zhang who was smiling but silent, Empress Dowager Dong snorted angrily and took Liu Xie away!

Empress He also nodded to Liu Zhang, and walked down with Liu Bian.

"Ministers, you have worked hard today, go back and rest earlier!"

The ministers didn't stay any longer, and they all resigned.

Standing on a high place, Liu Zhang watched the ministers leave, and couldn't help but feel the pleasure brought by power!

"General Wei, does power fascinate people?"

Liu Zhang was slightly startled, he did not expect someone to say such explicit words in the palace hall!

Dong Zhuo is probably the only one who acts so boldly! Sure enough, Dong Zhuo had walked to his side without knowing when.

"General Dong is joking, we are courtiers, how can we be greedy for power!"

"Hehe, General Wei can't think that way! Now the general is the most powerful, you must know that it is like sailing against the current, if you don't advance, you will retreat! Once the general gives up his power, I don't know how many people want to trample the general to death!"

Liu Zhang didn't speak, but he was very sure of what he said with Dong Zhuo! Why is it difficult for a minister of power to do so? It is nothing more than that the result cannot be borne. One is to usurp the throne, and the other is to be punished by the nine clans.

For something like a powerful minister, once you take the first step, there is absolutely no reason to turn back!

"If General Wei wants to take that step, Dong Zhuo is willing to help him with all his strength!"

Liu Zhang looked sideways at Dong Zhuo. He didn't expect Dong Zhuo, who is so obsessed with power, to say such a thing!

"What does General Dong mean?"

"Hehe, General Wei is so smart, why doesn't he understand Dong's meaning? Today's big man is precarious, so it's time for Yi Yin Huo Guang to appear?"

Yi Yin Huo Guang? Liu Zhang sneered in his heart. If he wanted to be Yi Yin Huo Guang, it might be you, Dong Zhuo, right?

"Then what does General Dong want?"

Dong Zhuo chuckled, with a hint of obscenity in his eyes.

"Dong is the happiest person in his life, and Empress Dowager Dong and Empress He are so beautiful!"
