Chapter 795

Liu Hong's series of questions left Jian Shuo stunned on the spot.

Of course, what shocked Jian Shuo the most was that Lu Zhi was defeated.

"Your Majesty..."

Jian Shuo knelt on the hall with a thud: "Your Majesty, the servant has never done anything to be sorry for Your Majesty."

"Even if you kill the servant, the servant would not, and would not dare."

Liu Hong looked at Jian Shuo with gloomy eyes.

Jian Shuo, kneeling on the ground, said: "Your Majesty, the one who wrote to the court saying that Dong Zhuo avoided fighting was Lu Zhi, and it was Taiwei Yang Ci who recommended Lu Zhi."

"And when in Yingchuan, Duan Yu was clearly very discordant with Zhu Jun and Huangfu Song."

"The servant just thought, thought about making the conflict between Duan Yu and the scholar clans deeper, so I suggested Your Majesty allow the voices of the court's letters."

"But..."

Jian Shuo really felt extremely wronged in his heart.

Who could have thought that Dong Zhuo had just been dismissed from office, and Lu Zhi was defeated.

Yang Ci had once obstructed Duan Yu when he was rewarded last year.

And Lu Zhi was recommended by Yang Ci.

His advice was just to make Duan Yu feel that Yang Ci was targeting him.

Of course, Jian Shuo did not have no small thoughts.

The conflict between the two in front of Jiade Hall before, he had to vent this breath.

Liu Hong, sitting on the dragon chair, gradually eased his expression.

Then he raised his sleeve and said: "Alright, get up, I believe you."

Hearing this, Jian Shuo felt as if he had been granted amnesty and then climbed up from the ground.

"I will not blame you for the previous matter, but now, Lu Zhi has been defeated, and I still need to enable Duan Yu to suppress the rebel soldiers."

Saying this, Liu Hong narrowed his eyes and glanced at the bowed Jian Shuo, coldly saying: "You should put away those little thoughts of yours."

Jian Shuo, who had just gotten up, was struck by lightning, and his whole body could not stop trembling.

"The servant..."

"The servant understands," Jian Shuo said with a trembling voice.

"I handed the guards to you, which shows that I trust you."

"Guard the palace well."

"I have already vented the anger for you, but this kind of thing is only allowed to have a first time, and you are absolutely not allowed to have a second time, do you hear me."

The cold voice reached Jian Shuo's ears through the hall.

Jian Shuo, terrified, nodded in fear.

Liu Hong waved his hand and dismissed Jian Shuo who was standing in the hall.

As Jian Shuo left, only Liu Hong, sitting on the dragon chair, was left in the hall.

Reaching out and rubbing the armrest of the dragon chair, Liu Hong's expression was thought-provoking.

Outside Nangong.

Yang Ci and Yuan Kui, who had just been dismissed, walked together.

Dismissal was very normal for them.

The positions of the Three Excellencies were replaced on average every six months or a few months.

It was not strange for the Emperor to use this means to collect money.

And for families like the Yuan and Yang, the power in their hands was never official positions in the imperial court.

But a powerful and far-reaching political background influence.

"Yang Gong..." Yuan Kui said with a laugh while walking: "It seems that the one who won this game is the Emperor."

Leaning on a gray cane, Yang Ci walked very slowly.

Looking like an old man in his twilight years.

If he were to change into ordinary attire and walk on the road, he would be no different from an ordinary old man.

But it was such an old man who was the head of the Qingliu of the Great Han Dynasty.

"It seems we all underestimated this Emperor of ours," Yuan Kui stroked his chin.

Yang Ci, while slowly moving his steps, said: "The Emperor ascended the throne at the age of twenty, starting from the humble, but holding the national vessel, how can he be compared to ordinary people."

Yuan Kui nodded slightly upon hearing this.

Before Liu Hong ascended the throne, he was only the Marquis of Jiedu Pavilion.

His father, Liu Chang, the Marquis of Jiedu Pavilion, died early, and Liu Hong inherited the title of Marquis of Jiedu Pavilion when he was a few years old.

There were countless Han clan members like Liu Hong in the Great Han.

The reason why Liu Hong was chosen to inherit the throne was not because Liu Hong's bloodline was close to Emperor Huan.

On the contrary, the reason why Liu Hong was able to ascend the throne and become emperor was because Liu Hong had no relatives far away, no ministers nearby, and was a lonely person with a weak foundation.

At that time, Empress Dowager Dou Miao was regent, and the Dou clan's power was overwhelming. They brought Liu Hong from Jizhou because Liu Hong had no background, which was conducive to control.

Empress Dowager Dou's idea was correct.

The approach was also correct.

At that time, Liu Hong was only twenty years old, and it was indeed true that Empress Dowager Dou held the national vessel for a period of time.

But good times did not last long. Empress Dowager Dou was opposed by the scholar clans because she established female ministers, cultivated eunuch confidants, and wanted to exercise the power of Empress Lu.

Thus triggering a coup.

Liu Hong rose quietly at this time.

Just when Chen Fan and Empress Dowager Dou were gaining the upper hand in the struggle, and Empress Dowager Dou was placed under house arrest in the Changle Palace, and they were preparing to write to Liu Hong to request the execution of the eunuchs who were causing chaos in the palace.

The eunuchs collectively defected to Liu Hong.

Liu Hong used the power of Cao Jie, Wang Fu, and others to complete a gorgeous coup and mastered the palace guards.

This year, Liu Hong was eleven years old.

Maybe too much time has passed, and that year has passed more than ten years.

Many people have forgotten, forgotten how the current Son of Heaven, Liu Hong, came to power.

Most people only know how licentious and lawless the current Son of Heaven is.

At that time, ministers like Lu Zhi, Huangfu Song, and Zhu Jun were just children.

But old foxes like Yang Ci and Yuan Kui who had lived for decades had not forgotten.

Yuan Kui and Yang Ci walked out of the Imperial Palace.
