Chapter 29: Changes in the Palace (2)
After He Jin returned to the General's Mansion, he immediately closed the door, because he planned to no longer participate in the struggle between the scholars and the eunuchs.
When Yuan Shao learned that He Jin had returned from the palace and was closed, he immediately came to the General's Mansion to ask to see He Jin, but He Jin did not receive Yuan Shao.
Seeing this, Yuan Shao felt uneasy.
Soon, he thought of a way to sneak into the General's Mansion and meet He Jin.
After He Jin saw that Yuan Shao actually appeared in his mansion, he was very stunned and said, "Originally, how could you enter the Great General's Mansion?" ”
"General, if I can't see you again, I'm afraid that the court will change."
"Why did you say that?"
"General, since you have issued an edict ordering your foreign ministers to bring troops into Beijing, why did you suddenly disappear at this last moment?"
"I didn't know anything at first, I asked the Empress Dowager He three times and twice to implore the eunuch to be killed, but the Empress Dowager He sternly refused, and I really had no choice but to hide."
"General, how can you not have your own views on military affairs, now that the foreign minister has been ordered to enter Beijing, if the general withdraws the military order at this time, your prestige will no longer exist, and at that time, how will the general gain a foothold in the court? Now that the arrow is ready to fly, I have to send it, I hope the general thinks deeply! ”
He Jin was forced by Yuan Shao like this, and immediately said ruthlessly: "At the beginning, what you said was right, I am the general, I will now make you the captain of the school, hold the talisman, and kill it." ”
Seeing that He Jin had finally made up his mind, Yuan Shao immediately took the order happily and left.
After that, Dong Zhuo, the former general of He Jin's secret edict, and Ding Yuan, the assassin of Bingzhou, led his troops to Luoyang City.
After Dong Zhuo and Ding Yuan received He Jin's secret edict, they immediately set off.
At the same time, Dong Zhuo also wrote a letter to impeach Zhang Rang and others.
Because Dong Zhuo wrote the impeachment, Zhang Rang immediately sensed He Jin's killing intent.
Immediately, Zhang Rang summoned the ten permanent servants and said to them: "Ladies and gentlemen, the former general Dong Zhuo suddenly wrote a letter to impeach us and others, presumably under the instructions of He Jin, He Jin's intention to get rid of us has been revealed, regret not listening to Jian Shuo's words, and now we can only seek ways to protect ourselves." ”
Hearing Zhang Rang say this, the people in the Ten Standing Servants immediately began to discuss.
At this time, Guo Sheng said: "Everyone, I misjudged He Jin's personality before, but Empress Dowager He will definitely not cross the river and tear down the bridge, we can seek refuge from Empress Dowager He." ”
Hearing Guo Sheng say this, Zhang Rang pondered for a while and replied: "Guo Sheng is right, He Jin is now mixed with the Shi clan, and we will not be able to tolerate us, and we can only seek the protection of the Empress Dowager He for the sake of today." ”
After that, Zhang Rang and other ten permanent servants immediately went to the Empress Dowager He's bedroom.
Empress Dowager He learned that Zhang Rang and other ten permanent servants came together, and although she was suspicious, she still summoned the ten permanent attendants.
When the people in the Ten Standing Servants saw the Empress Dowager He, Zhang Rang and the others immediately knelt down and cried.
After seeing this, Empress Dowager He immediately asked: "Father-in-law Zhang, father-in-law Zhao, why are you crying?" ”
Zhang Rang immediately replied: "Queen Mother, you have to be the master for us, the general listened to Yuan Shao's slander, and he insisted that I would be equal to death, and threatened that we were the ones who caused chaos in the government, but who below the minister is loyal and honest?" ”
When Empress Dowager He heard this, she immediately asked, "Is there really such a thing?" ”
"Queen Mother, Dong Zhuo's department is only afraid that it is approaching the palace."
"Brother is confused! Gonggong Zhang, you stay with me for the time being, and I will pass on the general to meet you. ”
After Zhang Rang and the other ten permanent attendants listened, they immediately thanked the Empress Dowager He for her kindness.
Besides, after He Jin received the edict of the Empress Dowager He, he immediately entered the Empress Dowager He's bedroom alone.
Seeing Zhang Rang and other ten permanent servants in the Empress Dowager He's bedroom, He Jin was shocked in his heart, because he was plotting to kill them.
Seeing that He Jin saw Zhang Rang and the other ten permanent attendants showing a surprised look, Empress Dowager He immediately understood He Jin's thoughts, and then said: "Brother, the mourning family heard that you are behind my back and Yuan Shao and other scholars want to kill Zhang Gonggong and them, but is there such a thing?" ”
"It's ......."
Seeing that He Jin wanted to speak and stopped, Empress Dowager He followed and said: "Brother, there are good and bad people in the scholar clan, you can't listen to the side letters, it just so happens that the mourning family is also here, you and Gonggong Zhang and them will turn the fight into jade silk!" The first emperor has just died, and the new emperor still needs to be assisted by old ministers. ”
Zhang Rang waited for the ten permanent attendants to listen and immediately knelt down to receive the order.
And He Jin hesitated again and again, and finally agreed.
Back at the General's Mansion, He Jin received news that Dong Zhuo's advance was too fast.
Suspicious, he immediately sent a counselor to ask Dong Zhuo to stop the march.
After seeing Dong Zhuo in Huangchi County, Chong Shao immediately asked Dong Zhuo to stop the march.
But Dong Zhuo did not listen, he directly asked the soldiers to invite the seed shao out.
Seeing that Dong Zhuo did not comply, he had no choice but to return to Luoyang to return to He Jin.
And Dong Zhuo continued to lead his troops into Henan Yin.
Knowing that Dong Zhuo's ministry actually entered Henan Yin, under the pressure of Dong Zhuo, Empress Dowager He finally relented and dismissed all the little yellow doors.
After Zhang Rang and others were deposed, the people of the Ten Standing Servants gathered again under Zhang Rang's organization.
After everyone gathered, Zhang Rang immediately said: "Everyone, now that Dong Zhuo is leading his troops to Luoyang, Empress Dowager He has relented and dismissed us. ”
Zhao Zhong then continued: "Gonggong Zhang, do you mean that we will get rid of He Jin first?" ”
"That's exactly what it means!"
Guo Sheng then continued: "Gonggong Zhang, He Jin is in charge of the forbidden army, and we have no soldiers, how can we kill He Jin?" ”
Zhang Rang immediately replied: "We can pretend to pass on the Empress Dowager's decree, and when He enters the palace, it is not fish and meat on the chopping board, let us slaughter it." ”
Hearing this, the people in the Ten Standing Servants immediately understood Zhang Rang's thoughts.
Immediately after, all the ten permanent attendants burst out laughing.
A few days later, Zhang Rang and the other ten permanent attendants were ready in the palace.
Immediately, Zhang Rang sent someone to pretend to summon He into the palace.
After He Jin received the edict of the Empress Dowager He, he immediately came out of the General's Mansion and prepared to enter the palace.
At this time, Yuan Shao, the captain of Sili, and Cao Cao, the speaker of the council, happened to appear outside the general's mansion.
Seeing He Jin coming out in a hurry, Cao Cao and Yuan Shao immediately saluted.
After He Jin replied with a waiver, he asked the guards to prepare the carriage.
Seeing this, Cao Cao and Yuan Shao glanced at each other, and then Yuan Shao asked, "General, who are you?" ”
"Originally, the Queen Mother summoned me to the palace, and I want to enter the palace."
When Cao Cao heard this, he immediately continued: "General, we have already prepared soldiers and horses to enter the palace, the queen mother summoned at this time is quite strange, it is very likely that Zhang Rang and others are treacherous, why don't you wait to kill the eunuch before going." ”
"Meng De, the Queen Mother's summons is urgent, you can't delay, you can prepare yourself."
As soon as the words fell, the guards drove the carriage to the outside of the general's mansion.
Seeing this, He Jin immediately boarded the carriage and asked the guards to rush to the palace.
When He Jin left, Cao Cao and Yuan Shao shouted at the same time, because they had basically concluded that this was Zhang Rang's trick.
Immediately after, Cao Cao said to Yuan Shao: "At the beginning, the general was in trouble, you and I quickly reorganized the soldiers and horses and entered the palace to rescue the driver." ”
"Okay."
Cao Cao and Yuan Shao immediately rushed to the military camp to dispatch troops and horses.
