Chapter 57: Maybe he shouldn't have been on this stage at all
Changle Palace, Jiade Gate.
Fifty axemen silently lay in ambush behind the palace gate.
The last ambush failed, the palace was cleared, and almost all those knife and axe men were cleaned up.
Now most of these fifty axe bearers are eunuchs in the palace.
They also went into battle in person.
After all, in times of crisis, who can really wait calmly for the guillotine to fall?
They also have to fight for a chance and a way out.
"Niangniang, please send an edict, let us personally kneel in front of the general and ask him for guilt."
Zhang Rang was prostrate on the ground, his face buried in the ground, and his voice was crying.
Behind him were the eunuchs of all sizes in the palace.
They all went to this Changle Palace to intercede with Empress Dowager He.
Their relationship with Empress Dowager He is actually quite good.
At the beginning, Empress Dowager He entered the palace without any background, and Zhang Rang saw that she was very favored by the Son of Heaven, and she was thoughtful and detailed, so she helped to take care of one or two.
Although Zhang Rang was not fully on the throne at that time, if someone in the palace took care of him, the living environment would be much better.
At that time, Zhang Rang often reminded the Empress Dowager He, who was still a beauty, of some trivial things.
In the end, she stepped on the throne of the queen step by step.
Empress Dowager He is not a person who does not miss old loves.
Although Zhang Rang seemed to be drifting away from her after she poisoned Wang Meiren, he did take care of her.
Most women are still soft-hearted.
Seeing these old eunuchs in front of him kneeling in front of him and crying.
Thinking that they were also old men who served the first emperor, Empress Dowager He agreed, and let He enter the palace to accept the apologies of the eunuchs.
She also hoped that this matter would be over.
Pity.
She is not Lu Pheasant.
She doesn't understand power.
According to the idea of the ten permanent attendants, she sent an edict to let He Jin enter the palace.
"Childe said, He Jin will die."
Yan Ren had already sent Lu Zhi and the others out of the city, but at this time he was idle and went to sit in the wine shop outside the general's mansion.
He had other tasks.
Chen Chen didn't know Liu Bei's plan for the reception of the old ministers of the Han family, thinking that Yan Ren was just here to investigate the situation and collect talents, so he asked Yan Ren to help with a private matter.
If it weren't for Yan Ren being a master of time management, he might not be able to keep himself busy.
After all, he hurried to the ground, let his loyal and capable subordinates send Lu Zhi and Huangfu Song out of the city, and he trotted all the way back to the door of the general's mansion.
Today's General's Mansion is still so lively.
Yan Ren recognized quite a few familiar faces.
Cao Cao, Yuan Shao, and Chen Lin, the family who often touted Chen Chen at the literary meeting, all entered the General's Mansion and planned the situation together.
It's just that the faces of those old ministers are missing.
As expected, it didn't take long for a carriage to stop at the gate of the General's Mansion, and a person who was obviously dressed in the palace got out of the car in a hurry, hurriedly delivered something and left.
And it didn't take long for Yan Ren to see He Jin coming out of the mansion, followed by Yuan Shao and Cao Cao.
"The general is going this time, and I will take the armor soldiers to guard the side in case of accidents."
The young man with a tough and handsome face, who knew at a glance that he was a decent person, spoke to He Jin with righteous words.
Yan Ren recognized him.
It's Yuan Shao.
"The general is waiting here, and I will wait for the two of us to go and select five hundred elite soldiers to enter the palace with the general."
Cao Cao, who Yan Ren was more familiar with, looked a little weak, like a little lieutenant general.
"Yo."
Yan Ren's eyes widened, and he almost choked on the sip of wine he had just drunk.
"Did you really let Childe say it?"
Yan Ren remembered that before he left, Chen Chen shouted what he had explained to him, and he was secretly surprised in his heart.
Son.
It's you.
It turns out that Childe still has this ability to predict the unknown?
Or is Childe's plan and calculation already so strong?
It seems that I will have to ask my son for advice in the future.
Yan Ren's advice was really a consultation, and he asked Chen Chen to give him pointers and ways to analyze the problem, and if he was confused before, he would go to Chen Chen to help answer it.
The book says that if people are not ashamed to ask, asking for advice from the son cannot be regarded as asking.
But I thought of Childe's entrustment in my heart.
Yan Ren didn't continue drinking anymore with Erlang's legs crossed.
He got up neatly and waited for Cao Cao to pass by.
Cao Cao, who came out of the General's Mansion, was still a little confused at this time.
At present, what is happening in Luoyang, half of it is in the plan, half of it is deviated from the plan, and it is estimated that I will have to talk to Zhicai again when I go back today, but I don't know what will happen in the palace.
Others are walking, but their hearts are floating, and their minds are not particularly clear.
Suddenly, he was being pulled by a hand while passing by a liquor store.
Yuan Shao didn't wait for him.
Yuan Shao made meritorious contributions, expressed his earnestness, and took his younger brother Yuan Shu straight to the barracks.
"You ......"
Cao Cao looked at the somewhat familiar person in front of him with a puzzled expression.
He actually wanted to draw his sword just now.
But he heard a word.
"General Cao, my son-in-law and you are old friends."
As soon as his heart moved, Cao Cao felt that his heart was beating a little fast.
It seems that he sensed some kind of opportunity.
"Which old man, why don't you meet in person?"
"Your Excellency's actions are like assassins."
Cao Cao calmly examined the man in front of him who couldn't see his face clearly.
Yan Ren wore a mask on the street, and he didn't want Cao Cao to remember his face or recognize him.
"General Cao said with a smile, I just helped Gongzi bring you a word."
Cao Cao grimaced and waited for Yan Ren to continue.
"Childe said ......"
"If you want to succeed, you must be the first. If you want to control the situation, you must control it. The righteousness of the Han family must be the palace people. The power of the first emperor will shadow the after. ”
"That's it, General Cao take care."
Yan Ren saluted Cao Cao, and as soon as his body moved, he disappeared.
Cao Cao originally wanted to draw his sword to stop him, but found that he didn't keep up with him, so he had to give up.
"If you want to succeed, you must be the first? If you want to control the situation, you must control it? The righteousness of the Han family must be the palace people? The power of the first emperor will be overshadowed? ”
Cao Cao recited the sentence he had memorized and frowned.
He could understand what it meant.
But what I told myself at this special time now, is it implying that if He enters the palace today, something will inevitably happen?
Taking a deep breath, he stepped out of the liquor store and hurried towards the barracks.
He was just struggling with whether to stop He Jin.
But thinking of the scene in the mansion just now, He Jin couldn't listen to persuasion.
And, actually, if something happens.
That's not necessarily a bad thing.
Cao Cao was ruthless in his heart, he thought about his plan and Zhicai's plan, and understood that this could also speed up his process, so he made up his mind in his heart.
In Luoyang, a big chessboard.
Although all parties are pawns.
But perhaps only He Jin, a chess piece, was the most hidden by others.
There seems to be a kind of sorrow that everyone knows he will die, but no one will tell him.
But who is to blame for this?
In the General's Palace, someone had already warned of the dangers of this trip.
It's just life and death.
Maybe he shouldn't have been on this stage at all.
