"Civil...civilian?"
Sun Jian and several of his men were in disbelief.
They had seen these two men use the divine arm crossbow on the battlefield before.
They shot down the yellow turban soldiers on the city wall with one arrow.
"Are all the civil servants in Tanghai so powerful?"
Zu Mao, who had the lowest martial arts among the few, asked.
He, a military officer following Sun Jian, was not even as good as the civil servants in Tanghai.
This made him feel ashamed.
"Of course." Xu Shu straightened his back and said proudly.
"I wanted to be a military officer before, but Tanghai was really competitive."
"I couldn't even get a number."
"You see these commanders of ours, except for big brother Han Sheng, the rest are second-tier military officers in Tanghai."
"Not even in the top ten."
Xu Shu's words made Sun Jian and others look at each other in bewilderment.
They looked at Zhang Xiu, Zhang Ren, Guan Xing, and Zhang Bao.
I can't understand why such a brave general can't even make it into the top ten of Tanghai.
How talented are Tanghai?
How can it have such a shocking thing?
Sun Jian smacked his lips.
"As a friendly army, we Tanghai can provide you with some weapons."
Liu Yu arranged Guan Xing and Zhang Bao to give Sun Jian and his men thousand-refined weapons.
"I'm really sorry."
Liu Yu said: "Only those who come to study in our Tanghai can provide ten thousand-refined fine weapons."
"I hope Wentai doesn't think too much."
Sun Jian hurriedly said: "That's great!"
"Thank you, Lord Tanghai District Mu."
"Such weapons, let alone giving them away, are simply not available on the market."
"On the battlefield, the combat power will definitely increase!"
Holding a long sword and looking at it non-stop, Sun Jian liked it very much.
Cheng Pu, Han Dang, Zu Mao and the other three were like holding the world's treasure.
Huang Gai laughed on the side.
The other three, including his master, all used weapons of the thousand-level refinement level.
But he used weapons of the ten-thousand-level refinement level.
Following the young master to Tanghai is really a great pleasure in life!
Not to mention, Tanghai also has countless fine wines waiting for him as Brother Huang Zhong said!
He has made up his mind.
He will hone himself well in Tanghai.
When he returns again, he must suppress the other three generals.
Become the first general beside Sun Jian!
...
Luoyang City.
Emperor Liu Hong suddenly vomited blood during a script play.
The whole palace was in chaos instantly.
But the news was blocked by Zhang Rang, headed by the Ten Eunuchs.
He knew deeply that once the news of the emperor's serious illness spread, Luoyang would inevitably be in turmoil.
The most important thing at this moment is to arrange the next emperor while the emperor has not completely passed away.
And the Ten Eunuchs should also make a bet quickly so that they can still control power in the future.
After they asked the imperial physician for treatment, Liu Hong finally recovered a little.
Liu Hong, who was lying in bed, seemed to feel that his time was running out.
After careful consideration, he finally decided to make his second son Liu Xie the emperor.
Although Liu Xie was only nine years old, he grew up in the palace.
He was much better than his eldest son Liu Bian, who was sent to a Taoist priest to be raised privately since he was a cradle.
In terms of behavior and temperament, he was much better than the frivolous Liu Bian.
Liu Bian was not a monarch.
This was what Liu Hong, who was lying in bed, figured out.
Finally, he made a decision.
Zhang Rang was the head of the Xiyuan Army.
Originally, this position should have belonged to Jian Shuo.
But the other party was dead.
Emperor Liu Hong asked Zhang Rang to assist the young Liu Xie to ascend the throne.
In addition, Liu Yu, the governor of Tanghai District, was summoned back to the court as soon as possible.
Together with Zhang Rang, they formed an internal and external relationship and jointly took responsibility for Liu Xie.
Liu Hong, who had decided on the matter, did not see that day coming.
Liu Hong died just after the court documents were sent out of Luoyang.
His absurd life ended.
Zhang Rang hid in the secret room and pondered for three hours.
Although time was tight, he still took out precious time.
He had to make a choice.
As the head of the eunuch group, the Ten Eunuchs originally chose He Jin's family.
The reason why the relative of the emperor, Empress He, was able to take the throne was because they were selected by the eunuch group.
Since there must be relatives of the emperor, why can't the relatives of the emperor be their eunuchs?
He Jin's success was the result of their eunuchs' continued efforts.
Of course, some ministers had some unspeakable thoughts in their hearts, which probably contributed to it.
In short, everything was at a balance point, but Liu Hong's sudden death broke the balance.
Originally, Zhang Rang wanted to unite with the relatives of the emperor represented by He Jin to recommend his eldest son Liu Bian to take the throne.
They had at least twenty years of good days if the relatives of the emperor and the eunuchs joined together.
But Emperor Liu Hong's last words gave Zhang Rang other ideas.
Liu Xie was young and goodControl.
After he succeeded to the throne, he would need help with the affairs of the court.
With such a huge power in front of him, it was impossible for Zhang Rang not to be tempted.
A more daring plan gradually took shape in his mind.
How could it be better to share power with the relatives of the emperor than to hold all the power by himself?
For this plan to succeed, the first thing to do was to kill He Jin, the head of the relatives of the emperor.
As long as He Jin, who controlled the military power, died, everything would be fine.
Zhang Rang, who had figured everything out, walked out of the secret room.
From this moment on, he no longer belonged to the Ten Attendants.
And he rushed towards the arbitrary eunuch.
Quickly arrange the swordsman and axeman, and send someone to Luoyang City to summon He Jin to the palace.
Zhang Rang arranged everything properly.
However, there is no wall that is impenetrable in the world.
Zhang Rang overlooked one thing.
The relatives of the emperor are no longer the relatives of the emperor who needed their support to ascend to the throne.
At this moment, the general He Jin has already controlled many powers in the court.
There are many cliques.
Someone in the palace had revealed the news to He Jin in advance.
He Jin, who was halfway to the funeral, broke out in a cold sweat.
Without saying a word, he led his men back to the barracks.
Luoyang City was instantly on the verge of a war.
The emperor passed away and left his second son Liu Xie as his successor.
The news spread secretly in Luoyang City instantly.
The nobles and ministers of the wealthy families, as long as they had some ability, basically got the news secretly.
And the news that Zhang Rang had obtained the military power of Xiyuan and was entrusted by the emperor to plot to kill He Jin spread like wildfire.
All the mansions closed their doors and gathered their men.
They hid at home and dared not go out at all.
They knew that a huge storm was coming.
Even the ordinary people in Luoyang felt that the situation was different from usual.
They hurried back home and dared not go out again.
In the palace, Zhao Zhong and the other ten attendants gathered.
They just realized that Zhang Rang had betrayed them!
Zhang Rang panicked after missing the first strike.
Having lost his chance, he could only compromise.
The double pressure from the general and the Ten Eunuchs made him breathless.
Zhang Rang announced that he would nominate his eldest son Liu Bian to succeed him in the normal order of succession.
His mother, Empress He, was honored as the Empress Dowager.
This was a compromise with He Jin.
In the end, Liu Bian succeeded to the throne.
Empress Dowager He took charge of the government.
General He Jin assisted in the administration and recorded the affairs of the Shangshu.
Yuan Wei was promoted to the position of Taifu, and they jointly assisted in the administration and participated in the affairs of the Shangshu.
The dark clouds that had been pressing over Luoyang City were blown away in an instant.
There was no storm, and the sun returned to the sky amid the undercurrent.
