He Jin is my own big brother, and Bian’er is his own nephew. If he doesn’t support us, could he be supporting others?”\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>“Oh! My Empress!”\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Zhang Rang beat his chest and stamped his feet: “When the Son of Heaven was still here, the General-in-Chief dared to go against him and never backed down!”\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>“Now that the Son of Heaven is gone, will he really restrain himself after Imperial Prince Bian takes the throne?”\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>“I’m afraid not, right?”\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>“By then, the General-in-Chief’s power will only expand further;”\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>“Today he dares to lead troops to attack the imperial city; who knows if he won’t dare to control the court tomorrow, sideline you and Imperial Prince Bian, and turn the court into his own personal domain?”\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>“By then, where will you and Imperial Prince Bian be placed?”\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Empress He raised her eyebrows in anger upon hearing this: “He wouldn’t dare!”\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>But considering her brother’s personality and ambition, Empress He was really panicked for a moment.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Her brother probably really would dare!\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Zhang Rang saw Empress He’s expression and added: “If it were just that, it would be fine!”\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>“After all, you and the General-in-Chief are siblings, and Imperial Prince Bian is his nephew; he wouldn’t harm you;”\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>“At most, he would just seize more power!”\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>“But you should know, Empress, that the General-in-Chief has been mixed up with the scholar-clans led by the Lord Yuan Clan for a long time!”\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>“Those people are all insidious and cunning;”\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>“The General-in-Chief might care about family ties, but they won’t;”\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>“And, Empress, do you really think the General-in-Chief, who came from a butcher’s background, can really outplay a major scholar-clan like the Lord Yuan Clan that has existed for hundreds of years in terms of political maneuvering?”\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>“This old servant is just afraid that the General-in-Chief will be used as a pawn, end up with nothing, and implicate you and Imperial Prince Bian!”\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>“Therefore, please think twice, Empress. Save us. Only by keeping us eunuchs can we balance the court, balance the General-in-Chief, and balance the scholar-clans led by the Lord Yuan Clan;”\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>“And we eunuchs have always only been able to rely on imperial power;”\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>“You don’t have to worry about us becoming too powerful;”\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>“Because all our glory and wealth are tied to you and Imperial Prince Bian;”\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>“Our life and death are actually just a matter of a word from you, Empress. What do you think?”\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>If they didn’t try hard to persuade Empress He at this time, they would really have no chance of a comeback.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Besides, although what he said wasn’t entirely the truth, it wasn’t nonsense either.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>They really didn’t have any malice toward Empress He and Imperial Prince Bian at this time.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>After all, only Empress He could persuade General-in-Chief He Jin to save them now.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>However, afterward, it might not be certain!\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>If He Jin isn’t eliminated, they won’t be able to sleep or eat in peace.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Empress He didn’t know what the cunning Zhang Rang was thinking, but upon hearing this, she was completely persuaded.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Immediately, her expression became solemn: “I can promise you to persuade the General-in-Chief to retreat;”\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>“But you must fully support me and Bian’er in the future and support Bian’er to become the new monarch. Is that a problem?”\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>As long as her son could ascend the throne, she felt everything else could be slowed down.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Besides, she had taken in everything Zhang Rang said.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Indeed, eunuchs are just a dog of the emperor.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>No matter how much power they have, it comes from the Son of Heaven.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Unlike those court officials or even He Jin, the General-in-Chief, who can threaten imperial power.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Empress He hoped to use eunuchs like Zhang Rang to balance the court, so that her Bian’er could successfully ascend the throne, sit firmly on the throne, and not become a puppet.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Have there been few puppet emperors in the past when the ruler was young and the country was suspicious?\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Although she didn’t understand much, she knew a little from what she had seen and heard.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>“Naturally! Naturally!”\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Zhang Rang and the others were overjoyed: “If we don’t support Imperial Prince Bian, who else can we support?”\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>“Only Imperial Prince Bian is the true Son of Heaven!”\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>“We pay our respects to the Empress Dowager. Please, Empress, quickly issue an order for the General-in-Chief to retreat!”\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>“The army entering the imperial city is ultimately detrimental to imperial power and the dignity of the royal family;”\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>“It’s also not safe!”\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>In short, no matter what, first fool Empress He into persuading He Jin to retreat.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>“Good!”\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Empress He nodded immediately and walked out of Ganquan Palace in person.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>At this time, He Jin had already led his army to the vicinity.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>“He Jin! What exactly are you trying to do by leading troops to attack the imperial city? Why don’t you retreat?”\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Empress He shouted loudly.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>“Ah?”\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>He Jin was stunned upon hearing this and couldn’t react for a moment, saying: “Sister! I heard that the Son of Heaven has passed away, and these damn eunuchs actually kept it a secret, attempted to harm you and Bian’er, and prepared to support Imperial Prince Xie as the new monarch;”\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>“Didn’t I come to save you?”\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>“Wait for me to kill these damn eunuchs, and you will be safe, Sister!”\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>As he spoke, he prepared to lead his troops forward.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Seeing so many people approaching with murderous intent, Imperial Prince Bian was scared and hid in Empress He’s arms, trembling.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>“He Jin, you are presumptuous!”\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Empress He noticed Imperial Prince Bian’s fear and shouted angrily: “Bian’er and I are fine! Zhang Rang and the others have already surrendered to us and are prepared to follow the late emperor’s edict to support Bian’er as the new monarch. This is also the late emperor’s edict;”\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>“If you don’t retreat, what are you intending?”\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>At this moment, she was truly scared.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>She was worried that He Jin would threaten her and her Bian’er.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>At the same time, she also realized that He Jin, as General-in-Chief, had too much power and was too presumptuous.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>No wonder the late emperor wanted to suppress He Jin and became increasingly cold toward her.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>She had found the reason.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>“This...”\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>He Jin was in a dilemma for a moment.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Facing Empress He’s increasingly unkind gaze, he didn’t want to fall out with his sister in the end, so he could only wave his hand and say: “Pass my order, the army is to withdraw from the imperial city.”\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>“General-in-Chief!”\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Seeing this, Cao Cao was anxious and stepped forward to whisper in He Jin’s ear: “If you don’t act when you should, you will suffer from the chaos. This is the best time to eliminate the eunuchs. If you miss it, there won’t be such a good opportunity again!”\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>“You can’t withdraw!”\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>He Jin hesitated upon hearing this.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>He felt that Cao Cao’s words made sense.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>However, Lord Yuan Shao, who was on the side, also stepped forward to refute Cao Cao: “Mengde, your words are wrong! The Empress is safe, and she is the General-in-Chief’s own sister. Can the General-in-Chief fall out with her and not listen to her?”\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>“Where would that leave the General-in-Chief?”\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>“That’s right!”\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>He Jin reacted and nodded hesitantly: “That is my sister and nephew; I cannot fall out with them. Since my sister asked me to retreat, then let’s retreat for now and spare Zhang Rang and the others;”\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>“Wait until Bian’er ascends the throne, then find a way to execute them!”\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>“Anyway, they no longer have military power, and the troops of Sili in Luoyang are all in my hands. There is no need to worry about them counterattacking.”\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>“Withdraw!”\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>He Jin waved his hand.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>“General-in-Chief! You can’t!”\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Cao Cao’s expression changed upon hearing this, and he couldn’t help but glare at Lord Yuan Shao: “Benchu, I don’t believe you don’t know that this is the best opportunity to eliminate eunuchs like Zhang Rang;”\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>“If you miss it, there will never be such a good opportunity again. Why are you persuading the General-in-Chief like this?”\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>“Hmm?”\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Seeing that Cao Cao dared to glare at him, Lord Yuan Shao’s expression sank: “Cao Mengde! The Empress has already spoken. Do you want the General-in-Chief to defy the world and continue to attack the imperial city, disobeying the Empress’s order?”\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>“Do you want to frame the General-in-Chief for unrighteousness?”\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Chr\u002F>\u003Cp>\u003Cem>— Author's Notes —\u003C\u002Fem>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>0 Seeking flowers\u003C\u002Fp>",1416,"2026-06-16T22:49:46.970Z","2026-06-17T08:57:40.402Z",1,"Gemini 3.1 Flash Lite","87b089a6b9541639a305833c7f9f5984c2701955f274a8cad30dfb56974fce63","heaven-defying-comprehension-building-an-eternal-chapter-199","heaven-defying-comprehension-building-an-eternal-chapter-197",467,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fheaven-defying-comprehension-building-an-eternal-cover.jpg"]
