April of the sixth year of Zhongping.

The emperor swallowed the last breath of air reluctantly, and made a loud cry from his mouth, struggling to stretch out his right hand to grab something. But everything was just false after all, and he was destined to be unable to grasp anything. Then his hand fell from the air and everything was over. His life stopped one day in April of the sixth year of Zhongping, and the end of his life seemed to have no effect.

It’s just that the emperor Liu Hong died, and the troubled times began.

Jian Shuo has been leading his troops in the palace since he accepted the order of the emperor. After learning that the emperor had passed away, he immediately blocked the news and came up with a plan. He decided to trick He Jin into the palace and kill him and then support King Chenliu as the emperor's order. So he called out his own Sima Pan Yin and said to him: "The situation has begun to become urgent. Go and invite He Jin into the palace immediately. Let's discuss the will of Your Majesty and see who will be appointed as the emperor in the future."

Although Jian Shuo said this, Pan Yin saw from it that his words were insincere. He definitely didn't think so. When he left, he had already seen the movement of Jian Shuo starting to mobilize his troops. It was nothing more than just preparing to imitate Empress Dowager Lu's old wisdom. If General He entered the palace alone, it would be a lot of danger.

Pan Yin just looked at Jian Shuo's actions and felt silently that he could not even rectify his internal unity. Failure was inevitable. Many people would leak the news, for example, he had already had a friendship with He Jin. When he went out, he would tell General He about Jian Shuo's conspiracy. The most urgent task now is how to protect himself in the chaos. Therefore, he left the palace without any guilt and went to find He Jin.

When he saw He Jin, he seemed to be about to enter the palace. Pan Yin hurriedly said to He Jin: "General, it is not appropriate to enter the palace now. Jian Shuo ambushed his men in the palace. If you enter the palace now, you will definitely be attacked by him in chaos. As the saying goes, the son of a daughter cannot sit in the hall. You must not go again."

After hearing his advice, He Jin immediately replied: "What you said is very reasonable. I will not go to the palace again. You can stay here. Since he asked His Majesty's will to let me enter the palace, I claim that I was sick and could not enter the palace. Let the people who came with you take my news back to Jian Shuo."

After these people left, He Jin summoned his brother He Miao, his confidant Yuan Shao and others to explain the situation to them.

After hearing this, Yuan Shao immediately suggested to He Jin: "Since Jian Shuo is now in charge of the imperial guards and stationing troops in the palace, we should seal the palace and support Shi Hou as the emperor first. As long as the rest of the people can support them together, Jian Shuo in the palace will be useless. At that time, we can send one person to kill him."

He Jin believed that Yuan Shao's words were correct, so he issued an order to everyone and said: "Shuda, please block all parts of the city first, and now the city cannot be in chaos at this time."

He Miao replied seriously: "I promise, I will lead the general's order." After that, he turned around and left to blockade Luoyang City.

He Jin looked at Yuan Shao again and said in a kind tone: "Benchu, your family's forces are very mixed in the court. You have to ask you to contact your uncle Yuan Wei and let him contact all the officials for our affairs."

Yuan Shao said seriously, "General, please feel at ease. I will contact my uncle now and I will definitely not mislead the general's affairs. As the saying goes, the elders and young people should not act rashly, and the ancestors should not act without any action. I think everyone in the court will definitely support the general. Now, asking the general to quickly lead people to support the emperor is the most important thing."

After hearing this, He Jin felt that it was not so much time to pay attention to it, so he walked out of the house with Yuan Shao. Yuan Shao went to contact all officials, and he rushed to the place where Liu Bian lived with his men.

After He Jin led his men into Liu Bian's residence, He Jin shouted loudly to Liu Bian: "The late emperor has passed away. Etiquette and law say that the elders and young people are in order. The king should be the new emperor. The country cannot be without a king for a day, so we come to welcome the emperor to ascend the throne."

This good news did not make Liu Bian happy. He just looked at the soldiers who broke in in panic and could not say a complete sentence.

Seeing him like this, He Jin immediately issued an order to the people around him, saying, "You can't help the emperor change his clothes quickly, and then we will take the emperor to see all the officials."

Then several people walked out beside He Jin and carefully helped Liu Bian change his clothes. He Jin waited for the soldiers to take Liu Bian out and immediately took him to find Yuan Wei. After He Jin met with Yuan Wei, the first round of confrontation had already settled. The two of them supported Liu Bian as the new king with all the officials. His mother, Empress Dowager He, was in charge of the court, and He Jin and the Grand Tutor Yuan Wei jointly assisted the government. The first round of exchange of interests was completed. Jian Shuo, who controlled the imperial guards in the palace, lost what he could rely on. He had become a thorn in everyone's side. The gentry, relatives, and even the eunuchs with him also abandoned him.

All the general trends were on He Jin's side, so He Jin sent out the yellow sect to arrest Jian Shuo.

Jian Shuo was wearing armor and holding a long sword, and stood at the gate of the palace where the deceased emperor was. He was already tall and had a decisive aura on his body shocked the surroundings. After the Huangmen came over with his troops, he shouted loudly to the imperial guards under Jian Shuo: "The new emperor has been established, and you can't hurry up to pay homage to the new emperor. Are you going to follow the sinner Jian Shuo here to die with him?"

The morale of the imperial soldiers was completely defeated by such a few simple words. They took a few steps back one by one, and then put down the weapons in their hands.

Huangmen then shouted to Jian Shuo: "A stubborn person like you is only dead." Then he ordered the soldiers beside him: "Go and cut off his head and take a general."

Jian Shuo looked at the yellow gate and laughed loudly. He shouted, "Do you think you can be safe if you climb He Jin? Hahaha, it's simply a delusion. You villains who betray Your Majesty's kindness. He Jin can't tolerate you. I will wait for you below. I want to see how long you can live more than me."

The Huang Gate ordered to the soldiers in a furious manner, "Why don't you go and kill him!"

The soldiers who were originally slowly approaching forward began to rush towards Jian Shuo quickly. After a few fighting sounds, Jian Shuo's head was lifted out by the soldiers.

Huangmen looked at his head and said, "I thought your neck was as hard as your mouth."
