"Dong Zhoumu has no military power. If we join, it will be regarded as self-respect of the army. We will go north from here, cross the tributaries of the Wei River, and go straight to Yi County from the north of the Wei River."

"Then what?"

"Humph, then wait, when the emperor dies, Luoyang will be in chaos!" Li Jue said with a smile.

…

Outside Luoyang, in the West Garden.

Zhao Zhong sent the imperial doctor away with doubts on his face, and Zhang Rang came over calmly.

"How is your Majesty?" Zhang Rang asked.

"The disease has entered the bowels, and His Majesty is still unable to eat. The imperial doctor said that it is not easy to survive this year."

"What! Doesn't that mean there are only a few months left?" Zhang Rang said in surprise.

Zhao Zhong glanced sideways and said, "This may be our time."

"No!" Zhang Rang gave up the idea without thinking, "Do you remember what the master taught us?"

Zhao Zhong turned around, looked directly at Zhang Rang, stretched out a hand to grab him, and said: "We have lost our lifeblood, we must seize our destiny!"

Zhang Rang nodded and glanced deeply at the deep palace of the Western Garden, "We must be prepared!"

"What can Changshi Zhang do?" Zhao Zhong asked.

"I heard that He Jin doesn't get along with He Miao, and he doesn't get along with He Hou either. If we can win over He Hou, things may turn around," Zhang Rang said.

"Even if the two of them don't get along, they both have the same surname. How can they not hear each other and be estranged from each other? I'm afraid it will be extremely difficult." Zhao Zhong said.

"Chang Shi Zhao is overly worried. How can she still think that she is a member of the He family? She only wants Liu Bian to take over. If we, Shi Chang Shi, fully support Liu Bian, she will happily accept it!"

Zhao Zhong thought for a while and realized that this was indeed the case, "Queen He no longer has enough to rely on the He family. If she becomes the Queen Mother, the He family may have to rely on her."

This kind of daughter who was born as a butcher is short-sighted and the easiest to deceive. If this can be done and Liu Bian comes to power and deals with her, then the ten permanent servants can once again be glorious.

Zhang Rang said: "Your Majesty will be looked after by you. After that, I will take care of you. Remember, your Majesty is very good!"

Zhao Zhong nodded, smiled sinisterly, glanced in the direction of the palace, and repeated: "Your Majesty is fine!"

…

Liu Hong stood up with difficulty, and a little Huangmen quickly put a cushion on him.

Liu Hong gritted his teeth, and every time he exerted force on his abdomen, he felt a burst of cramping pain.

"Your Majesty, would you like to have a meal?"

Liu Hong actually wanted to use it, but when he thought about the pain of eating, he might as well endure the hunger.

He ignored Huangmen, waved his hand casually, signaling for him to leave, and then looked up at the curtain above in trance.

He was often like this these days. He used to be obsessed with poetry and women, but he didn't realize that being in a daze could also be a kind of fun.

"Is this what hunger feels like?" Liu Hongxin said, "Those people who don't have enough to eat feel like this all day long."

"No wonder they want to rebel against me." Liu Hong muttered again.

"But there is nothing I can do. I saved my money by selling my official position. I also spent my own money to build the West Garden. The place is in deficit every year, and the border commander still needs me to subsidize them."

Liu Hong thought about the foreign war some time ago.

"I have pacified the judgment of the four tribes, which was unprecedented in the ancient Han Dynasty! Although I lost Liangzhou, I also agree with Cui Situ's view that Liangzhou is just a bottomless pit of money and food."

"There are still several states that don't have state pastors." Liu Hong thought for a while, but couldn't think of a candidate for the moment.

According to Liu Yan's opinion, it is best to be a clan member of the Han family. Liu Hong knew in his heart that the state pastors who were divided were actually as good as the princes.

"I know that in the court, the imperial censor Liu Yao, Zong Zheng Liu Chong, Sikong Li Liu Biao, and another Chen Wang Liu Chong are all capable people, but their merits are not enough to be promoted directly."

For no reason, Liu Hong thought of Liu Qing again.

"Hey..." Liu Hong sighed, "It wasn't me who wanted to kill your father, King Bohai, but General Dou Wu, who knew that the late emperor's edict had been issued first, kept it secret, and turned to make me the emperor privately. He and Taifu Chen

The Tibetan wolf was so ambitious that he was not satisfied with having power over the government and the public. He wanted to kill all the eunuchs, but he was eventually harmed by them, haha..."

Liu Hong sneered, "Speaking of which, I have to thank them. If they hadn't fought to the death with the eunuchs, when would I have come to power? I might still have become their puppet like the previous generations of emperors..."

"I, Liu Hong, at least, am not a puppet!"

As he thought about it, Liu Hong seemed to remember his early years in Hejian Kingdom. The life at that time was not like living in the palace, but it was comfortable and comfortable. He suddenly wanted to eat wild loach.

"Come here!" Liu Hong called.

Xiao Huangmen entered and knelt down, "Your Majesty."

"Send someone to catch some loaches from the river!"

"Ah? Loach?" Huang Men said he had never heard of it, with a look of fear on his face.

Liu Hong was awakened by it. It turned out that he had thought too deeply about the deliciousness of that thing. It was just a childhood obsession.

At this time, Zhao Zhong came in. Seeing that Xiaohuangmen was a bit rude, he asked: "Your Majesty, what's the matter?"

Liu Hong took a deep look at Zhao Zhong and said, "Nothing, get ready for dinner."
