Chapter 409 From the Dragon's Power
In order to meet, Yuan Kai and He Jin made an appointment in a secret place in private.

After the meeting, Yuan Kai cut straight to the point and threw out his idea directly.

"Suigao, the emperor's thoughts are no longer intended to be covered up. The emperor has decided to abolish the elders and establish the younger ones. At this time, don't you do nothing? If you just watch the emperor act mischievously, what will happen to your family? It's all going to collapse!"

It's not that Yuan Kai is talking nonsense.

Yuan Kai really wanted to win over He Jin for his own use and strengthen the original power, but at the same time, after careful observation, Yuan Kai also really believed that Liu Hong wanted to abolish the elders and establish the younger ones.

In other words, after Liu Hong did such a big thing, no one thought that Liu Hong was simply trying to suppress He Jin's power and publicize his power.

Who is He Jin?

It's not just the general of the foreign relatives, but also the uncle of the eldest son of the emperor, Liu Bian. It's fine if there is no such thing as the eldest son of the emperor, Liu Bian. Others think in that direction.

And according to the gossip, the emperor doesn't like the current Empress He, and has a bad relationship with Empress He, so the two have nothing to do except Liu Bian for so many years.

This is almost an open secret, not many people inside and outside the palace know about it, otherwise the emperor wouldn't have been without a crown prince for such a long time.

Yuan Kai is scheming, but he doesn't have Liu Bei's foresight. He combined all the information he has and his understanding of Liu Hong's behavior and style. .

Of course he also felt that Liu Hong was messing around, but this was a particularly good opportunity for him.

It is worth mentioning that no matter what era, no matter how high the emperor's power has become, it is difficult for the officials in power to stay out of the matter of setting up a prince.

Even if they risked their lives being smashed to pieces, they couldn't stop their high enthusiasm.

The reason is nothing more than that the merits of Conglong are too great. Just as it is difficult for princes to avoid the temptation of the throne, ministers cannot avoid the temptation of this power.

Especially when the minister himself has an inseparable interest relationship with the candidate for the throne, this situation is even more clear.

Even if He Jin wanted to avoid him, he couldn't. What's more, He Jin didn't want to avoid him. He was a general, the uncle of the eldest son of the emperor, and he was connected by blood. Why should he avoid him?

Yuan Kui didn't want to avoid it either.

Conglong Zhigong is one of the greatest achievements of a minister, and it is also the only way for a person of his background to further explore the supreme authority. For Yuan Kai who wants to carry forward the Yuan family to the first place in the world Said, this step must go on.

Being close to He Jin, on the one hand, because He Jin holds the power of the general, and his mind is relatively simple; on the other hand, the reason is that He Jin has a good nephew.

"Good" nephew.

As a senior official at the Sangong level, Yuan Kui had contact with Liu Bian, and had a certain understanding of the eldest son of the emperor, Liu Bian, and also participated in the matter of the officials asking for the appointment of the crown prince.

That can be regarded as a matter of years, and before Beauty Wang was favored and gave birth to Liu Xie, when Liu Hong only had Liu Bian, his living son.

That year, the ministers asked Liu Hong to establish the crown prince to stabilize the country. Although the relationship between Liu Hong and Empress He had not yet broken at that time, and Empress He's appearance and skills could still match Liu Hong's taste, Liu Hong still No let up.

The reason was that Liu Hong felt that Liu Bian's behavior was frivolous and lacked the dignity that the Tian family should have, so he was not suitable to be an emperor, so he did not agree to the request of the officials for the time being.

Back then when Liu Hong was still young, the ministers felt that Liu Hong could still have other sons with the queen, so they didn't fight hard. If Liu Hong really didn't like Liu Bian, at that time, as long as he was a legitimate son, it would be easy to discuss.

But time has passed, so many years have passed, the relationship between the emperor and the empress has broken down, and it is impossible for Empress He to have any more children. Liu Hong himself has only the son of a concubine, Liu Xie, alive. Liu Bian is already 15 years old, and he has not established a prince yet. His mind is clearly revealed.

Of course, according to Yuan Kai's own observation, it is true that Liu Bian, the eldest son of the emperor, grew up in the hands of a deep palace woman. Because his mother is more powerful, Liu Bian's personality is relatively weak, and he has no self-confidence. He is not excellent in all aspects of reading and martial arts.

From Yuan Kai's point of view, if Liu Bian was his own child, he would also be very worried about whether the Yuan family business could be passed on safely in Liu Bian's hands. own son.

He said that Liu Bian was frivolous. Could it be that the feeling he left to the world isn't the word "frivolous"?

The upper beam is not upright and the lower beam is crooked, and he himself cannot be serious and upright. How can he set a good example for his son?
Is this how you still have the face to despise your son for being "frivolous"?
He had the nerve to say it, but Yuan Wei was too embarrassed to listen.

It's better if you just say you're stupid!
But the matter is indeed such a thing, he is the emperor, no matter how shameless he is, he is justified, he just despises Liu Bian, he just doesn't want to pass the throne to Liu Bian, what can he do?

Abolish the old and establish the young!
But in this way, everyone can't accept it.

He Jin has been a general for more than five years. For such a long period of time, the group of people who have been attracted by He Jin and surrounded him, are they here for He Jin himself?
Could it be He Jin himself's super charisma that attracted such a group of people?
He Jin, who was born as a butcher in Nanyang, is really not that attractive.

The eldest son of the emperor, Liu Bian, is even more attractive.

Everyone is here for Liu Bian and Conglong Zhigong.

It can be said that although Liu Bian, the eldest son of the emperor, has not been established as the crown prince, at present, the power of the party that wants to promote Liu Bian to become the crown prince has been formed. None of the interest groups wavered.

Even though Liu Bian himself didn't know these people at all, the group of royalists who wanted Liu Bian to be emperor had already been established, and their forces were far stronger than those who wanted to push Liu Xie to the throne.

At present, the forces that want to push Liu Xie to the throne are very small, only Liu Hong's mother, Empress Dowager Dong, and Empress Dowager Dong's nephew, Dong Zhong.

The two sides are not comparable at all.

So no matter what Liu Hong was thinking in his heart, while he was acting, although he had strengthened his own weight through the establishment of the West Garden Army, he had already pushed quite a group of people to the opposite side of him.

He Jin felt particularly strongly.

So when facing Yuan Kai, He Jin didn't hold back at all, and spit out all his thoughts.

"I have done so many things for the emperor, made so many achievements, and fought for so long. I have worked hard without any credit. In the end, the emperor was deceived by someone. Is he going to treat me like this? I did wrong What? Am I going to usurp his Han dynasty?

The prince has become the emperor, of course I will protect him with my life!He must be firmly seated on the throne!Isn't the prince Bian the emperor's own son?It's still from the queen!From the queen!Son!Can't he inherit the throne? "
