A thousand-year-old family begins with one fighting against ten thousand.

He Jin was still somewhat hesitant, fearing that the Ten Attendants would fight him to the death.

He's a great general now!

If it is revealed that the imperial edict was forged, his position as Grand General will be lost.

Fortunately, none of his advisors could hear He Jin's true feelings, or they would have been furious.

Your nephew has become emperor, why do you still care about this?

So what if it's a forged imperial edict?

Just because of your status as the emperor's brother-in-law, the emperor should just appoint you as a Grand General.

Isn't the Empress Dowager now in the hands of the Emperor?

As long as Empress Dowager He doesn't impulsively decide to oppose the Wei family, she can rule from behind the throne and seize the emperor's power.

Who becomes the Grand General is entirely up to her.

"I've thought this through myself; let's not bring it up again!"

He Jin said impatiently, waved his hand and returned to his bedroom. After becoming a general, he had just taken two concubines, each of whom was beautiful and well-educated, making him linger there.

While indulging in pleasure, the two concubines were also subtly and overtly hinting to He Jin to eliminate the Ten Attendants.

Ordinary families could not possibly raise such well-educated and sensible women. He Jin's two concubines were pawns cultivated by aristocratic families to exploit him.

Each of them is a master of seduction and has an extremely accurate grasp of men's psychology.

These past few days, He Jin has been completely infatuated with these two women. No matter how much his advisors tried to persuade him, they couldn't get it done. But after these two concubines whispered in his ear, He Jin made up his mind.

"The General's removal of Jian Shuo truly makes him a first-rate hero!"

"Yes, yes, sister is right! We sisters absolutely adore the General!"

"As the most intimate eunuch of the late emperor, Jian Shuo held a high position and great power. He did countless evil deeds, and many people wished they could drink his blood, eat his flesh, and sleep on his skin."

"When the general killed him, everyone in the world rejoiced. Even the Duke of Zhou and Yi Yin could not match him."

The sweet words from his two concubines reached deep into He Jin's very bones.

"only……"

The concubine hesitated to speak, which made He Jin's heart itch with desire.

"Tell me quickly, tell me, but what is it?"

He Jin was enjoying the conversation when suddenly a "but" came out, making him feel like he was about to arrive only to find out that the person opposite him was a transvestite.

I feel so awful.

"It is only because of the merit of killing Jian Shuo and His Majesty's last decree that the Grand General was promoted to the rank of Grand General. The whole world is looking forward to it and hopes that the Grand General can make new achievements."

"But the Ten Attendants are still active in the court, oppressing the people and persecuting loyal officials."

"We sisters know that the General must have other plans in mind, but we are just angry that those people have started to slander the General's reputation."

The concubine said in a coquettish voice.

"snort!"

He Jin snorted coldly, "They're just the Ten Attendants, like grasshoppers in my hand, I can crush them with a flick of my wrist."

"Tomorrow, I will petition the Empress Dowager to execute the Ten Attendants!"

"General, you're amazing!"

"..."

……

Wei Cheng received a letter from a secret agent of the Wei family in the Roman Empire, who had discovered unusual movements in the Roman army.

In the past, only three or four of the Roman Empire's elite legions were deployed to the eastern and Parthian battlefields.

These three or four legions alone, along with a large number of ordinary legions composed of barbarians, were enough to suppress a vast empire.

These three or four legions are not fixed, but rather many legions take turns going there.

However, the Roman Empire has now mobilized more than 10 elite legions. Are there any countries around Rome that can match Rome's ability to deploy such a large force?

No.

In this world, apart from the Han Empire, no other country was worth such a large-scale war by Rome.

Wei Cheng confirmed his suspicions. He looked towards the palace. The Han Dynasty really couldn't spare the energy to deal with that. The central government was like a powder keg, ready to explode at any moment.

Wei Cheng sighed inwardly. He had also received news that Dong Zhuo had taken away the army that was suppressing the Qiang people on the plateau and guarding the border.

A full 20 cavalrymen are heading towards Chang'an.

Ding Yuan also brought 15 Bingzhou wolf cavalry, who were also elite troops guarding the frontier, and they were now on their way to Chang'an.

"Mengde, you should remain hidden in the shadows. I predict that within a few days, there will be great chaos in the palace. As the Tiger-General appointed by the late emperor, you have the duty to guard the palace."

"You must ensure the stability of the palace at that time!"

A short figure emerged from the shadows; it was Cao Cao.

Upon receiving Emperor Ling's order, he abandoned his army and rushed to Chang'an day and night.

They were afraid that the army's slow march would delay Emperor Ling's important affairs.

Unexpectedly, by the time he arrived in Chang'an, Emperor Ling of Han had already passed away.

So, following Wei Xue's instructions, he visited Wei Cheng and learned about the major and minor events that had occurred in Chang'an during this period.

He also felt that a series of conspiracies were surrounding Chang'an, making it impossible for him to break free or see through them.

Fortunately, Wei Cheng is still here; all we need to do is follow orders.

"If anyone leads troops to storm the palace, His Majesty's safety must be protected."

Wei Cheng was thinking of Dong Zhuo and Ding Yuan, especially Dong Zhuo. Dong Zhuo was a man who had fought his way up from the frontier. He was ambitious, yet he could still lower his head and save face. He also had intricate connections with the Yuan family.

Yuan Shao also strongly urged Dong Zhuo to enter the capital this time.

The Yuan family's intention to disrupt the capital could no longer be concealed, and Dong Zhuo was undoubtedly the scapegoat.

Neither Wei Cheng nor Cao Cao expected that Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu would take a blow for Dong Zhuo.

……

The next day, He Jin submitted a memorial to Empress Dowager He, stating that the Ten Attendants were a scourge to the country and its people and should be executed to set an example and win over the hearts of the people.

Empress Dowager He's beautiful phoenix eyebrows furrowed deeply. The Ten Attendants had made great contributions to her rise to power, and even Liu Bian's ascension to the throne was thanks to them. She was not an ungrateful person.

Empress Dowager He summoned He Jin to the palace and said bluntly, "You and I come from humble backgrounds. If it weren't for Zhang Rang and others, how could we enjoy such wealth and honor? Now that Jian Shuo, who was unrighteous, has been executed, why do you listen to others and want to exterminate all the eunuchs?"

He Jin blushed with embarrassment after being spoken to by Empress Dowager He, and given the difference in their social status, he had no choice but to give up and only execute Jian Shuo's entire faction.

Empress Dowager He agreed, as she was unwilling to fall out with He Jin. Moreover, Jian Shuo was a staunch supporter of Emperor Ling of Han and wanted to install Liu Xie as emperor, so Empress Dowager He also wanted to get rid of them.

The Ten Attendants were terrified. They feared that Empress Dowager He would be swayed by He Jin at any moment, since they were, after all, siblings.

They were unwilling to entrust their lives to Empress Dowager He's pity.

Therefore, Zhang Rang secretly met with Empress Dowager Dong.

Empress Dowager Dong also hoped to get the help of the Ten Attendants, only in this way could she contend with Empress Dowager He.

"Now that Liu Bian has ascended the throne, He Jin's sister has become the Empress Dowager, and she has confidants both inside and outside the court. Zhang Rang, you were the late emperor's most trusted man. Give this old woman some advice. What should I do?"
