After Wang Kai led his troops to leave Chencang, it didn't take long for him to join forces with the left general Huangfu Song, because Huangfu Song returned to the vicinity of Chang'an City after taking over Dong Zhuo's subordinates.

On April 10, the sixth year of Zhongping, Emperor Liu Hong of the Han Dynasty knew that his fate was not long in coming, and he immediately summoned the eunuch Jian Shuo, the leader of the Xiyuan Army.

Jian Shuo immediately came to Liu Hong's side after being summoned by Liu Hong.

Seeing Jian Shuo's arrival, Liu Hong immediately said weakly to him: "Jian Shuo, my time is short, I'm afraid I won't last long." ”

"Your Majesty is blessed with the sky, and you will be able to be auspicious,"

"Jian Shuo, I know my body, I summoned you to entrust Xie'er to you."

Seeing Liu Hong say this, Jian Shuo immediately respectfully agreed.

The next day, April 11.

Liu Hong died in the Nangong Jiade Palace.

After Jian Shuo learned of Liu Hong's death, he immediately thought: "Your Majesty entrusted the Prince Association to me before he died, presumably His Majesty must want to change the Prince Association to the prince, but the general He Jin has a heavy army, he will never allow this to happen, after all, the prince is He Jin's nephew, and the only way to do this is to summon He into the palace and then take the opportunity to get rid of him." ’

Thinking of this, Jian Shuo immediately ordered someone to go and pick He into the palace.

After He Jin saw the person sent by Jian Shuo, he immediately took a car.

Coming to the outside of the palace, Sima Panyin, who was very strong, had been waiting for a long time.

Seeing He Jin getting out of the car and wanting to go to the palace, Pan Yin hurriedly glanced at He Jin because he had a friendship with He Jin.

He Jin was shocked when he saw Pan Yin's eyes, and he immediately drove back to the military camp under his control, and then he led his troops into the official residences of the counties in the capital, and claimed that he was sick and would no longer enter the palace.

failed to take the opportunity to get rid of He Jin, and Jian Shuo lost the opportunity to let Liu Xie ascend the throne as emperor, because he only had Liu Hong's deathbed message, which could not be used as evidence at all.

Soon after, the prince was enthroned as the emperor under the auspices of the general He Jin, because the prince was only 14 years old, his biological mother Empress He was honored as the queen mother, and presided over the government of the dynasty.

After He Jin took control of the central government, he recruited a wide range of resourceful people to assist him, and regarded them as his confidants, including the two brothers Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu.

Seeing that He Jin's power was getting stronger and stronger, Jian Shuo's heart was very uneasy.

Then, Jian Shuo immediately sent people to contact Zhao Zhong and Song Dian and others, and invited them to punish He Jin together.

After Zhao Zhong and the other ten permanent servants received Jian Shuo's letter, they immediately gathered together to discuss.

Guo Sheng, one of the ten permanent servants, was close to He Jin, and he immediately spoke: "Everyone, General He and Empress Dowager He can have today's status all thanks to the help of my Guo Sheng. ”

When Zhang Rang, Zhao Zhong and others heard Guo Sheng say this, they immediately summed it up.

In the end, the Ten Standing Servants decided to listen to Guo Sheng's words.

After He Jin saw Jian Shuo's letter sent by the Ten Standing Attendants, he immediately tore up the letter in anger and said, "Good for you, you Jian Shuo, you have tried to murder me again and again. ”

Enraged, He Jin immediately led his troops into the palace and found Jian Shuo.

Jian Shuo saw that He Jin actually led troops into the palace, and he was immediately angry: "He Jin Pifu, Ru'an dares to lead troops into the palace?" ”

"Jian Shuo, I'm here to kill you, a traitor."

"He Jin Pifu Hugh wants to talk nonsense, I am loyal and loyal, how can I be rebellious?"

"You won't? Then what is the matter with your letters to Zhang Rang, Zhao Zhong and others? ”

Hearing this, Jian Shuo immediately understood that it was Zhang Rang, Zhao Zhong and others who betrayed him.

Suddenly, Jian Shuo laughed and said, "Zhang Rang, Zhao Zhong, if you don't listen to me, you will die without a place to be buried." After saying that, Jian Shuo drew his sword and killed himself.

Seeing this, He Jin immediately ordered Jian Shuo's body to be carried away, and he took the opportunity to take over the forbidden army in charge of Jian Shuo.

Knowing that He Jin had killed the eunuch Jian Shuo, Yuan Shao immediately met with He Jin and said to him: "General, I heard that you killed the eunuch Jian Shuo? ”

"Originally, it was true."

"General, in that case, why don't you wipe out the ten permanent servants? Now the general commands the strong army, and the subordinate generals are all handsome and famous, willing to do their best to serve, and the matter is under control, this is a God-given opportunity that will go down in history! The general should eliminate harm for the world. ”

When He Jin heard this, he was immediately a little moved, because going down in history had an inexplicable attraction for him, a person from a humble background.

Despite this, He Jin did not immediately agree to Yuan Shao, but asked Yuan Shao to go back and wait for news.

After Yuan Shao left, He Jin immediately entered the palace to meet the Empress Dowager He, and explained to him the matter of killing the eunuch.

After hearing He Jin's thoughts, Empress Dowager He immediately replied: "Brother, have you forgotten how Guo Sheng helped us back then?" If there was no Guo Sheng, how would our brothers and sisters have today's status? How can you listen to Yuan Shao's words? What's more, eunuchs have ruled the forbidden province since ancient times, the rules of the Han family cannot be abolished, and the first emperor has just passed away, how can I work with scholars in a grand manner? ”

After listening to Empress Dowager He's words, He Jin hurriedly replied: "Sister, I understand, I'm going to reject Yuan Shao." ”

Returning to the General's Mansion, He Jin immediately summoned Yuan Shao and said to him: "Originally, I gave up your plan. ”

"General, what happened? Why did you give up? ”

"Originally, I entered the palace just now to meet the Empress Dowager He, what the Empress Dowager He said is not unreasonable, I don't think there is any need to kill all the eunuchs."

"General, if the eunuchs serve the emperor and the left, if they are not all eliminated now, they will definitely be harmed again in the future."

Seeing that what Yuan Shao said also made some sense, He Jin suddenly said in embarrassment: "If you want to get rid of all the eunuchs, it is difficult for Empress Dowager He to explain!" It is better to get rid of only the first evil. ”

"General, if you are worried about Empress Dowager He, there is a plan to make Empress Dowager He have nothing to say."

"What's the original plan? Come on. ”

"General, since it is inconvenient for you to do it yourself, why don't you send an edict to let the foreign minister bring troops into Beijing."

"This is a wonderful plan, who did I think I could let come?"

"You can summon the former general Dong Zhuo to be stationed in Guanzhong Shanglin Yuan, and the envoy Peng Taishan Wang Kuang dispatched the strong crossbowmen of his county, and summoned the Taishou Qiao Mao of Dongjun to garrison Chenggao, so that the state assassin Shi and Jin Wuding originally burned Mengjin."

"Okay, I'll give the order."

Within a few days, Dong Zhuo, Wang Kuang, Qiao Mao and Ding Yuan raised troops one after another.

Then, Dong Zhuo and the others acted according to He Jin's instructions.

When Ding Yuan's department burned Mengjin, the fire-lit Luoyang City turned red, and the soldiers under his command also killed the eunuchs.

At this time, He Jin entered the palace again and begged the Empress Dowager He to kill the eunuchs.

But Empress Dowager He still did not agree.

He Jin's brother He Miao was also in the palace at this time, and he immediately said to He Jin: "Big brother, we came all the way from Nanyang, all because of poverty, now we rely on the palace to get rich, and the country's affairs are not easy, the water poured out can't be recovered, you should think about it, it's best to be friendly with the palace." ”

He Jin thought about it and left the palace.
