Chapter 180 Forcing the Palace
"Your Majesty, I am guilty."

In the Hall of Dezheng, He Jin's hoarse voice kept echoing.

Emperor Ling frowned slightly. Today is the day to deal with government affairs. Emperor Ling was already in a bad mood. He Jin came up again and pleaded guilty to make Emperor Ling feel even worse: "But the Qiang people attacked Sanfu!"

He Jin: "That's not true."

He Jin obviously had something to say, but Emperor Ling interrupted him: "This Dong Zhongying is also the same. He just got promoted and didn't try his best to destroy the thief. Has Huangfu Yi really not defeated the Black Mountain thief?"

Ma Rixun came out and said: "Return to Your Majesty, Huangfu's chariots and horses surrounded the Black Mountain for several months and got hundreds of thousands of thieves. As long as there are more than a month, they can do their best."

Emperor Ling couldn't see whether he was satisfied or disgusted, so he waved his hands and said, "Since we have obtained most of the army, we will withdraw the army, and the remaining bandits will be handed over to the prefect of Wei County."

"promise!"

"In addition, tell Dong Zhongying that if there is no more success, go home and study the Art of War carefully."

"promise!"

Ma Rixun retreated to his seat, and Lingdi saw that He Jin was still standing in the distance and said: "What else is there for the general?"

He Jin threw off his robe and fell to his knees: "The minister is guilty."

"What sin?"

"Your Majesty handed Shihou over to his ministers to raise him, but Shihou disappeared yesterday!"

Emperor Ling lost several sons in his early years and fostered Liu Bian in the Taoist school. Liu Bian was able to live until now. Now that Liu Bian is nowhere to be seen, Emperor Ling not only remembered the dream he had a while ago, could it really be the curse of Empress Song?Emperor Huan had no son to succeed to the throne by himself, and Dou Wu was killed and Empress Dowager Dou was imprisoned to death. Then one can imagine the fate of his uncle Dong Zhong and his mother.

Emperor Ling was shocked: "Why don't you look for it?"

He Jin's forehead was pressed against the floor mat, and the veins were exposed in the hands that pressed the mat, and he said word by word: "It's curfew, and the minister's family soldiers can't leave the house. If you are incompetent, I hope your majesty will punish you."

Emperor Ling looked at He Miao with sharp eyes: "What about you? Henan Yin, where are your people?"

He Miao hurriedly came out in a panic: "Your Majesty, forgive the sin, forgive the sin, I don't know."

Emperor Ling smiled angrily, and threw the memorial on the banquet at He Miao: "Okay! What a minister doesn't know, so what do I want you Henan Yin for?"

He Miao didn't dare to hide when he was hit, he just kowtowed and begged for mercy.

Hearing He Miao's begging for mercy and kowtow, Emperor Ling's anger dissipated little by little, and he sensed that something was wrong. If Bian'er really disappeared, He Jin would still be in charge of the curfew, and He Miao, Henan Yin, would not know about it?There is a conspiracy!Emperor Ling carefully chewed He Jin's words, the curfew was originally to find Liu Bei's trouble, and maybe there were Shi Changshi.

As soon as the case of Lu Qiang was over, the party members launched an offensive against the ten permanent attendants again. It is abhorrent to use my son as a bait. It is time to suppress the party members!

Emperor Ling decided to preemptively strike: "Where is Liu Bei, the executive king?"

"The minister is here."

"The general said that the first prince was lost during the curfew, so have you Jinwu guards seen the first prince?"

"The minister was not in Jinwu Mansion last night."

"Then don't check."

"promise!"

"Wait a minute, Huben Zhonglang will go with him."

He Jin hadn't lifted Liu Bei up and walked out of the Hall of Virtuous Government. He Jin intended to wait for Emperor Ling to be angry, but Emperor Ling was so sensitive.

Yuan Shao closed his eyes in pain, this stupid butcher, pity Xu Ziyuan's trick.

Yang Ci's half-closed eyes suddenly widened. Liu Bei's affairs don't need help, and he must pay Lingdi more money!

Liu Bei and Xia Mou quickly brought Liu Bian to the Hall of Dezheng, where Zheng Zhizheng said: "Your Majesty, the public security in the capital has been good recently, but it is secretly turbulent. I suggest that you choose a capable minister to take over as the captain of Sili, and to share with Zhi Jinwu. Catch the law and order in the capital."

Emperor Ling nodded. Captain Sili had a great responsibility and had to consider a better candidate. Emperor Ling looked at Lu Zhi: "Lu Qing, what good candidate do you have?"

Lu Zhi came out: "I suggest that Yuan Shao take over."

As soon as Lu Zhi spoke out, Zheng Zhi, Wu Qiong and other party members spoke out in support.

Emperor Ling looked at Yang Ci: "What does the Taiwei think?"

Yang Ciqing coughed: "Yuan Benchu ​​is the best candidate for his loyalty and integrity. However, the position of Lieutenant of Sili is a heavy responsibility. He is responsible for supervising all the officials of the court. It must be a mature and prudent person."

In a word, Yuan Shao's qualifications are not enough.Emperor Ling nodded in satisfaction: "Who is the Taiwei?"

"The old minister did not."

Emperor Ling looked at Situ Xu Xiang with some disappointment. Zhang Rang gave Xu Xiang a wink in a hurry.

Emperor Ling shook his head after hearing this, and joked that although Captain Sili was worth two thousand stones, he was the best assassin in the world, and Emperor Ling wanted to sell it for a good price?
"What does Sikong think?"

Zhang Wen came out: "I wonder if Your Majesty still remembers Cai Bojie?"

Cai Bojie?Emperor Ling suddenly thought of Cai Yilang who was passionate more than ten years ago. This man hated Shi Changshi very much. Wouldn't letting him be the captain of Sili increase the power of the party?
Zhao Zhong whispered from the side: "Your Majesty, Cai Bojie has a close relationship with Liu Xuande, and it is said that they have relatives by marriage."

When Zhang Rang saw Zhao Zhong, he also agreed to be anxious. He was the mastermind who framed Wei Wei Cai Zhi and sent him to prison. Zhao Zhong shook his head slightly.

Emperor Ling was a little satisfied, Liu Bei still had tens of millions of money in his hands. Emperor Ling was eager: "That's it! Is Liu Xuande here yet?"

Jian Shuo said, "I've already been waiting outside the hall."

"Please."

Emperor Ling watched Liu Bei and Xia Mou bring Liu Bian in together, and Liu Bian watched the Manchu officials all look at him, trembling and bowing their heads, looking scared.

Emperor Ling felt a little distressed when he saw that this son grew up without him and even met him a lot, and now he is still put in prison: "Where did you find him?"

Liu Bei said: "In Duchuan Imperial Prison."

"The capital ship is ordered to go to prison!"

Taichang Liu Yan saw Lingdi's face was full of ferocity, and came out and said: "Return to your majesty, Liu Xuande is so bold that he imprisoned the prince privately, obviously he doesn't take the court into consideration. He burned the Taishan Fengchan land before, and imprisoned the prince last night. Who can guarantee that he will be detained tomorrow?" What do you want to do?"

"Your Majesty, I know the crime, but I really don't know about the curfew of the eldest prince."

Liu Bei killed the curfew time, Liu Yan said: "The eldest prince has a good temperament, and there are famous soldiers and sergeants by his side. If you dare to say that you know it, you clearly don't take the royal family seriously."

"Exactly, Your Majesty, I think Liu Zhijinwu would dare to do anything to claim credit? Even if he knows the identity of the First Prince, he may not dare to arrest the First Prince, after all, the Crown Prince has not yet been established."

Yuan Shao directly pointed the finger at the battle for the crown prince.

The crown prince has always been a nightmare in Emperor Ling's heart. Emperor Huan has no heirs, and he himself died prematurely. He is really afraid that if the crown prince is established, the prince will not be able to bear the mistakes he made in his early years.Liu Bian's timid appearance really made Emperor Ling feel uneasy.

He Jinchu said: "Your Majesty, Liu Bei imprisoned the prince in the name of a curfew. His crime is unforgivable. Please also order his Majesty to punish him."

He Miao said anxiously: "Your Majesty, if Liu Bei arrested Bian'er silently, he will inevitably do disobedient things in the future, and he should be killed to eliminate future troubles."

"My minister agrees."

"My minister agrees."

Most of the courtiers agreed one after another, and the awe-inspiring righteousness suddenly pressed towards the golden dragon in the Dezheng Hall, and the momentum of forcing the palace was imminent.
