Chapter 721 Emperor Ling collapsed (Part 2)


    Chapter 719: Emperor Ling collapses (Part 2)


    In the original history, the Ten Changshi Group supported Liu Xie because Liu Bian''s succession would make He Jin more powerful.


    But now it is different. The Han Dynasty has been divided into pieces, and the court only has one acre of three parts, and most of the military power lies in He Jin''s hands.


    The imperial power of the Han Dynasty has weakened to the extreme, but there is still constant disputes within the court, and there is Liangzhou Governor Dong Zhuo outside eyeing him.


    Once Dong Zhuo enters Beijing, the first thing he has to solve is to make his Ten Eunuchs who made him successful, and He Jin, his former opponent, became the only life-saving straw for Ten Eunuchs, so Ten Eunuchs naturally cannot oppose Liu Bian''s succession.


    Zhang Rang turned his head and looked at everyone deeply. The meaning was self-evident. Everyone nodded after looking at each other. This will definitely not be issued.


    Among them, Liu Hong''s loyal ministers were not without them, but whether it was for their own lives or for the stability of the Han Dynasty, modifying the will was the best choice.


    Liu Xie is still too young. Even with the support of Empress Dowager Dong, he has no foundation in the court and it is impossible to ascend the throne. Liu Bian is the best and only candidate at present.


    Liu Hong did not notice the little movements of the Ten Changshi. If he knew that the Ten Changshi, whom he favored the most, was unwilling to obey his orders before his death, he would probably be angry to death on the spot.


    Liu Hong knew that he had no time, but when he looked back on his life, he still didn''t feel that he was wrong.


    Liu Hong was the great-grandson of Emperor Zhang of Han, Liu Yan. He inherited the throne of Jieduting in his early years. After Emperor Huan of Han, Liu Zhi was selected as the heir to the throne by his relative Dou, and then he succeeded to the throne and became the eleventh emperor of the Eastern Han Dynasty.


    Liu Hong had not received the orthodox emperor education, and the purpose of his relatives to regard him as emperor was not pure, so he was just a puppet at the beginning.


    During most of the reign of Liu Hong, he fought for power with his relatives and aristocratic families. It was not until he appointed eunuchs to check and balance the court that he finally had a little power, but at this time the Han Dynasty had been almost corroded by a group of borers.


    Liu Hong''s favor for eunuchs, selling official positions, bans on the party, etc. were all his natural means to save the Han Dynasty. He made all the efforts he could make, but the situation was getting worse and worse.


    "God is so lucky to me, Liu Hong." Liu Hong lamented, and two lines of clear tears flowed down from the corners of his eyes again.


    Liu Hong thought of his heroic posture when he was a young man and was just regarded as the throne.


    At that time, he ran excitedly to tell the most respected king''s master, swearing that he would save the great man and become a wise king of the generation.


    Liu Hong will never forget what Mr. Wang said at that time.


    Wang Xu looked at Liu Hong kindly and said softly: "Just do your best."


    At that time, Liu Hong didn''t understand and thought that the king''s meaning was that as long as he tried his best, he would definitely become a wise king.


    Now Liu Hong finally understood that his heart is higher than the sky and his life is thinner than paper, which is the best portrayal of his life.


    "Master Wang, you have guessed that I will be today, right?" Liu Hong said to himself with tears in his eyes, still feeling unwilling to accept it.


    He clearly wanted to be a good emperor, but the harder he worked, the worse the result. In the end, he still became a notorious generation of foolish monarchs.


    Now that things have come to this point, no matter how unwilling Liu Hong is, he can no longer change. Now he can only take advantage of his consciousness and try to explain the funeral clearly to prevent the Han Dynasty from turmoil again after his death.


    "You all go out and let your father stay. I have something to say to you."


    "No."


    After the other nine general attendants withdrew, Liu Hong whispered in Zhang Rang''s ear, "Father, you are the only person I can trust, I am going to die. I want to leave it to you."


    Zhang Rang was shocked and quickly knelt down and said sadly, "I will die." "Father, I have hidden the jade seal in..."


    This news made Zhang Rang stunned, while Liu Hong continued:


    "Let my father, after I die, He Jin will definitely not follow the will of Xie''er to make Xie''er the emperor. At that time, you can write for me and issue a secret edict to Qin Wen, Huangfu Song and Ding Yuan, and order him to go to Beijing to kill He Jin to assist Xie''er ascend the throne."


    Hearing this, Zhang Rang was more shocked, but he didn''t understand why Liu Hong was so persistent in Liu Xie''s succession, so he said hesitantly: "Your Majesty, there is a saying that I don''t know whether to say it or not..."


    "I want to say that Bian Erjia is suitable for succession, so why not die if he is guilty, right?"


    "I don''t dare." Zhang Rang crawled down and knelt down.


    A soft light flashed in Liu Hong''s eyes and he sighed, "I don''t know that Bian''er is the best candidate, but now the Han Dynasty has separatist rulers and He Jin takes power inside. Even if Bian''er sits on the throne, he will only be a puppet.


    In contrast, Xie''er has learned from one example since childhood, and with the assistance of Qin Wen''s loyal ministers, he will definitely wipe out the turbulent times for our Han Dynasty in the future. ”


    Zhang Rang was stunned when he heard this. He was not as good as Liu Hong thought so far. But who gave you the confidence that Liu Xie could wipe out the chaotic times?


    "After I die, Dong Zhuo in Liangzhou will definitely make a rebellion, and the fact that Qin Wen and three others entered the court can also shock Dong Zhuo and make him dare not act rashly."


    Hearing this, Zhang Rang couldn''t help but admire this foolish monarch. He was really thinking about the Han Dynasty until his death, but unfortunately he was born in the wrong era.


    If Liu Hong really expected, if three loyal ministers of Qin and Wen came to Beijing to assist Liu Xie and fought against Dong Zhuo, the Han Dynasty would indeed be able to eliminate the ills and end the troubled times in the end.


    But this is only possible. Qin Wen is not a loyal minister, and Zhang Rang will not do what Liu Hong said.


    "The old slave obeys the order."


    As he said that, Zhang Rang placed his palm on his heart under Liu Hong''s confusing gaze, and the next moment, Liu Hong''s pupils couldn''t help but shrink.


    Just as Liu Hong''s consciousness was about to dissipate, he not only saw Zhang Rang''s cold face, but also heard what he couldn''t understand.


    "Your Majesty, it''s easy to leave. I''ve taken back the imperial seal by my Qin family." Zhang Rang sneered.


    "you…"


    Liu Hong, a foolish monarch who wanted to be a wise monarch, died in a daze at Zhang Rang''s hands. He really never saw anyone right until he died.


    Looking at Liu Hong''s eyes dying with his eyes closed, Zhang Rang wanted to stroke his eyes, but he didn''t even close his help several times, so he could only let him struggle with his eyes.


    Zhang Rang worked hard to prepare his emotions and then began his performance.


    "Your Majesty, Your Majesty..."


    The howling sounded quickly alarmed everyone outside the bedroom. After pushing the door and entering, he saw Zhang Rang lying on the dragon bed and crying. Then everyone started crying.


    He Jin, who was rushing toward the bedroom, just walked outside the Weiyang Palace gate and heard a sharp howl.


    "Your Majesty has passed away."
