Dahan: A 100-year-old veteran, I will build the strongest family

Little Liu Yu's words awakened the dreamer, and Empress Dowager He immediately discovered it.

If they could break into Changle Palace and take Empress Dowager Dong and Liu Xie hostage, then they would have a way to survive.

After all, even if Zhang Rang and Dong Zhong wanted to attack them, they had to consider the lives of Empress Dowager Dong and Liu Xie.

As long as time can be delayed, Empress Dowager He believes that the civil and military officials as well as the noble families of Luoyang will not sit idly by and watch the turmoil in the palace.

……

"What? Empress Dowager He killed Zhao Zhong??!! She also broke into Changle Palace and held Empress Dowager Dong and Liu Xie hostage?"

Zhang Rang and his men, who were stationed on the tower of the imperial palace, were busy arranging defenses to prevent He Jin's men from attacking the palace. However, bad news came from the palace behind them, and Zhang Rang and the other ten eunuchs were stunned!

What did they hear?
Queen Mother He killed Zhao Zhong? ?

And she also broke into Changle Palace and held Empress Dowager Dong and Liu Xie hostage?

"How is this possible? How could Zhao Zhong die? How could Zhao Zhong be killed?"

On the city wall, Zhang Rang was already stunned, and exclaimed in disbelief.

The Ten Eunuchs were headed by Zhang Rang and Zhao Zhong.

Through decades of friendship and acquaintance, they supported each other and maintained their power and wealth.

Now suddenly tell him that his good companion has gone?
"Impossible, absolutely impossible, how dare you lie to our family?" Zhang Rang was furious and looked at the little eunuch who came to report the panic.

"Please spare my life, Lord Changshi. I dare not deceive you!"

The young eunuch was terribly frightened.

Soon, more and more eunuchs and guards came to report the situation in the controlled Changle Palace, and Zhang Rang and others had to believe it.

The Queen Mother held Empress Dowager Dong hostage, and the palace was in chaos.

Zhang Rang led a large number of guards to Changle Palace, but with the protection of 18 brave soldiers including Li Meng and hostages in hand, the situation in the palace came to a stalemate.

Inside the palace, Empress Dowager He and others managed to save their lives temporarily.

However, the city of Luoyang was in chaos. Yuan Shu, Yuan Shao and other former subordinates of He Jin brought their troops and fought with General Wei Dong Chong.

At this time, Yuan Shu, Yuan Shao and others were quite helpless and had no choice but to go all the way to the end because they had no way to retreat.

The Yuan family helped the He family and had been labeled as the He family by Empress Dowager Dong, Dong Zhong and Zhang Rang.

If they lose, the Yuan family will be in an extremely passive position.

The imperial palace has not had many secrets since ancient times. Many aristocratic families have daughters who serve as concubines or maids in the palace, and the chaos in the palace soon spread outside the palace.

It was learned that the Ten Eunuchs and Empress Dowager Dong had joined forces to kill the Empress Dowager and His Majesty, and that His Majesty the Empress Dowager first killed Zhao Zhong, and then led her men into Changle Palace and took Empress Dowager Dong and Prince Xie hostage.

The noble families and civil and military officials in Luoyang were all stunned and in an uproar. No matter how dissatisfied Empress Dowager He and Empress Dowager Dong were about the throne, they couldn't just turn their weapons against each other, right?

What's more, killing the current emperor and empress dowager!
Of course, many aristocratic families and officials subconsciously blamed this unprecedented treason and chaos on Zhang Rang, Zhao Zhong and other ten eunuchs.

Many big families in Luoyang city, such as the Yuan family, Yang family, Huang family, Zhou family, Ma family, Wang family, as well as civil and military officials, became agitated. They summoned their servants and guards and flocked to the palace in groups.

They wanted to execute Zhang Rang and ten other eunuchs, and rescue the current emperor, the empress dowager, and the grand empress dowager, in order to stop this absurd and unprecedented chaos.

When Dong Zhong learned that Empress Dowager Dong and Liu Xie were held hostage, he no longer cared about fighting Yuan Shu, Yuan Shao and the others, and also rushed to the palace.

……

On the official road thirty or forty miles southeast of Luoyang City, soldiers moved towards Luoyang City like a tide.

Just then, a dozen cavalrymen came riding over.

The leader was none other than Yuan Shu.

Zhang Rang and the other ten eunuchs became the targets of everyone's pursuit and killing, and perhaps they were so afraid that they blocked the gates of the imperial palace. A large number of aristocratic families and troops were blocked. Even Dong Zhong was stopped outside and could not get in for a while. The situation in the palace was like a scorched earth.

Everyone was afraid of Zhang Rang and the other ten eunuchs, so they went crazy and killed Empress Dowager He, Emperor Liu Bian, Empress Dowager Dong, and Second Prince Liu Xie.

Yuan Shu came out to support Yuan Kui.

"I am Yuan Shu. I have an urgent matter. Take me to see my uncle immediately!"

Yuan Shu shouted loudly while riding his horse.

The soldiers did not dare to delay and hurriedly led Yuan Shu to see Yuan Kui.

"What? The palace is in chaos? Not only was the general killed, but the Ten Eunuchs wanted to kill Empress Dowager He and Your Majesty, but Empress Dowager He killed Zhao Zhong instead and held Empress Dowager Dong and the Second Prince hostage? How... could this be possible?"

Yuzhou Governor Yuan Kui was completely stunned when he heard Yuan Shu, who had come in hurriedly, talking about the chaotic situation in the palace.

When he was one of the three highest officials in the court, the political situation was not like this!

“Uncle, you should lead the army to rush into Luoyang as soon as possible. My father said that this is a good opportunity for our Yuan family to turn the tide, control the government, and exert influence over the government and the country. We must not miss it!” Yuan Shu said to Yuan Kui with some excitement and anxiety.

If in history, Yuan Shu had ruled a certain region and the Han Dynasty was in decline, Yuan Shu would definitely not have had any interest in the Yuan family turning the tide, controlling the government, and encroaching on the government and the people.

But at this time, Yuan Shu was just a subordinate of He Jin. The fact that the Yuan family could use this opportunity to turn the tide, control the government, and exert power over the government and the country was enough to excite Yuan Shu.

When Yuan Kui heard Yuan Shu say what Yuan Feng said, a gleam of light flashed in his eyes and his inner ambition surged. He understood that this was a great opportunity for the Yuan family to grow stronger again.

The Yuan family obtained Yuzhou, and he became the governor of Yuzhou, a frontier official. In the past few years, he has witnessed more local separatist forces and a sharp decline in the majesty of the imperial court. The Yuan family's ambitions have also expanded a lot.

"Okay! Uncle, let the army advance quickly, enter Luoyang City, turn the tide, and save the Han Dynasty from collapse!" Yuan Kui took a deep breath and said loudly. (End of this chapter)
