The Sixteen Kingdoms of the Eastern Jin Dynasty: The Competition in the Central Plains

Liu Can first took Jin Yuehua's hand. Jin Yuehua hesitated for a moment and pulled back his delicate hand. Liu Can was still unwilling to give in and held Jin Yuehua's hand firmly again. This time Jin Yuehua couldn't pull his hand back no matter what, and his shy face immediately turned red. Seeing the opportunity, Liu Can kissed Jin Yuehua on the face. Jin Yuehua dodged, and Liu Can touched Jin Yuehua's upper body again. Jin Yuehua gasped for air and kept dodging, but no matter how hard he struggled, he could not break away from Liu Can's strong hands.

Liu Can said with a smile:"Yuehua, don't you know that we Huns have a tradition. After the father dies, the stepmother can legitimately marry her son!"

"Please let me go, your majesty. It would be bad if the civil and military ministers knew that the emperor and stepmother were like this!"Jin Yuehua continued to plead. No matter how hard Jin Yuehua begged, Liu Can took off her underwear and then took off his own clothes.

Liu Can moved while taking off her clothes and continued:"The Hun woman who became a stepmother , many come here like this. In the Western Han Dynasty, there was a woman named Wang Zhaojun who got married. After the death of the Shanyu Huhanxie of the Southern Huns whom she married, Wang Zhaojun married Huhanxie's son. I am very sad that my father passed away. I feel bad that you have no one to take care of you. Father is on his deathbed, please let me treat you stepmothers favorably. How dare I not listen to my father’s dying words!"

Jin Yuehua was like a lamb in the tiger's mouth, with no strength to continue struggling...

The next day in the court, Liu Can yawned and said to the ministers:"My dear friends, I have just succeeded to the throne and my affairs are complicated. I hope you will fulfill your responsibilities and create a prosperous era for the Han Dynasty."

Looking at the civil and military ministers below talking to each other, Liu Can was a little impatient. He glanced at Wang Yu, who understood. Wang Yu said:"If you have something to do, report it early, if nothing happens, leave the court!""

No one said anything, and the ministers left the court in twos and threes, some shaking their heads, some sighing. Liu Can and Wang Yu were the only ones left in the court. Liu Can waved, and Wang Yu came to Liu Can. Wang Yu asked with a smile. :"Your Majesty, which Queen Mother do you favor tonight?"

"Last night it was Empress Dowager Jin, tonight it was Empress Fan Hongdao, tomorrow night it was Empress Wu Hongde, the day after tomorrow it was Empress Wang Hongxiao, and then they took turns."Liu Can ordered:"This afternoon, you are going to check the situation of Queen Hongdao's palace."

"I obey your Majesty’s orders!"Wang Yu agreed with a smile.

After nightfall, the entire harem of Han Dynasty became quiet. Wang Yu and Liu Can came to Queen Hongdao's palace one after another. The two guards on duty at night were very alert, thinking who they were. One of the guards asked He said:"Who is so bold and dares to come to Queen Hongdao's palace?"

When Liu Can and Wang Yu got closer, the two guards were so frightened that they knelt down and saluted:"I didn't know that Your Majesty would arrive in the middle of the night. His crime deserves death. I hope Your Majesty will atone for his sins!""

"Step aside and don't make a sound!"Wang Yu whispered. The two guards stepped aside, and Wang Yu stood at the door of the palace. Liu Can entered the palace and saw two palace ladies dozing off. Liu Can didn't want the two palace ladies to see, so he tiptoed to Fan's house. In front of the bed. Liu Can took off his clothes and slowly touched Fan's bedside. Fan was awakened and wanted to call someone, but Liu Can covered her mouth. Liu Can whispered:"Queen Hongdao, it's me. , don't make any noise. Just a few years after you followed your father, your father passed away. You are so pitiful. As the emperor, I must care about you no matter what!"

As Liu Can spoke, he pulled up Fan's underwear. Fan kept panting...

Soon, the ministers of civil and military affairs and the eunuchs and maids in the palace knew about Liu Can's fornication in the harem. The ministers talked about it. , unable to agree. In Da Sikong's Mansion, Jin Zhun and his two cousins, Jin Ming and Jin Kang, were discussing. Jin Zhun said:"The Jin Dynasty is the orthodox dynasty of the Central Plains. In recent years, the world has been in chaos and all life has been devastated. Now His Majesty is living a debauched and immoral life. Apart from fooling around with the concubines in the harem day and night, he does not care about any major affairs of the government. We might as well take advantage of this rare opportunity to destroy the Liu clan and send Emperor Huai and Emperor Min back."

"My brother is right, such opportunities are rare. We should play it by ear. The ferocious Liu family not only killed two emperors of the Jin Dynasty, but also snatched the jade seal passed down from the Jin Dynasty. We should find the jade seal and send it back together with the second emperor's coffin."Jin Kang said

"What my brother said makes sense, we should act quickly. Now or never."Jin Ming said:"We should unite the Han people among the civil and military ministers of the Han Dynasty, move them with emotion and understand them with reason. The disunity of the Han people is the reason why Wuhu can disrupt China. If the Han people can unite as one, a unified dynasty like the Han Dynasty will still appear."

Jin Zhun came to the Empress Dowager's palace. When the guard saw that it was the Grand Sikong Jin Zhun, he quickly raised his hands and saluted. Jin Zhun said:"Please inform me that Jin Zhun wants to see the Empress Dowager."

A guard went in and talked to a palace maid inside. When the palace maid heard this, she did not dare to neglect and quickly told Jin Yuehua. When Jin Yuehua heard that his father was coming, he hurried to greet his daughter outside the palace. Seeing his daughter coming out, Jin Zhun bowed his hands and saluted and said:"See the Queen Mother!"

"The father must not harm his daughter! Father, please come in quickly!"Jin Yuehua said, pulling Jin Zhun into the inner room. Jin Zhun sat down, a palace maid poured tea for him, and went out. Jin Yuehua asked:"Father, you are always busy, why do you have time to come to my daughter today?"

"well! What can I say?"Jin Zhun sighed first, and then continued:"Since Li Yuan established the Han Dynasty, he also experienced Liu Cong and Liu Can's father and son. I thought Liu Can was an emperor with great talents and great plans, but I didn't expect that he turned out to be a completely absurd and promiscuous harem demon king!"

"My father said yes, but that’s fine. I remember when I was a child, my father often told us sisters that when the Huns surrounded Luoyang, they burned, killed, looted and committed all kinds of crimes. The two emperors of the Jin Dynasty were also killed by our emperor one after another. It was really cruel."Jin Yuehua comforted his father and said:"Sima Rui has proclaimed himself emperor in Jiangnan. If we can make Liu Cong's sons kill each other and weaken the strength of the Han Dynasty, it will also be helpful to the Jin Dynasty in Jiangnan."

"My daughter is right and her analysis is very insightful."Jin Zhun said:"If Liu Can was a heroic and wise king, then the people of China would still suffer. Now Liu Can ignores government affairs and indulges in wine and sex every day. This is indeed a golden opportunity for us. It's just that my father didn't have much contact with the Jiangzuo court, and the distance was long. Another problem is that apart from Jin Ming and Jin Kang, there are not many soldiers under my father who are really willing to serve us."

"Report to the Queen Mother and ask for an audience."While the father and daughter were talking, a palace maid came in to report. Liu Can's Queen Jin's name is Jin Yueqing, and she is Jin Zhun's youngest daughter.

"Please invite the queen in!"Jin Yuehua said, and he and his father stood up and went to the door to greet her. Jin Yueqing came to the door of the palace and first saluted Jin Yuehua:"Meet the Queen Mother!"
