Chapter 30: Changes in the Palace (3)
After He Jin entered the palace in a carriage, he quickly headed towards the Empress Dowager He's bedroom.
When He Jin passed through the Jiade Palace, Zhang Rang immediately asked the eunuchs in the palace to close all the palace gates.
He Jin was shocked when he saw this.
After a while, Zhang Rang and the other ten permanent attendants appeared in front of He Jin.
After He Jin saw Zhang Rang and the others, he immediately asked out loud: "Father-in-law Zhang, what do you want?" β
"He Jin, you said that there is filth and dirt in the palace, and I have to die, are you still pretending to be crazy and stupid?"
As soon as he heard this, He Jin knew that he had been tricked, so he drew his sword and prepared to kill.
Seeing He Jin's actions, Zhang Rang immediately asked Shang Fang to supervise Qu Mu to go and kill He Jin.
When Qu Mu drew his sword and killed He Jin's side, he immediately attacked He, and when He Jin saw this, he had to raise his sword to fight back, but He Jin's martial arts were ordinary, and it didn't take long for him to be killed by Qu Mu.
At this time, Yuan Shao and Cao Cao led their troops into the palace.
When Yuan Shao and Cao Cao saw that the palace gate near the Jiade Hall was closed, Cao Cao and Yuan Shao immediately pleaded loudly to see He Jin.
After Zhang Rang and the others in the Jiade Hall heard the shouts of Cao Cao and Yuan Shao, they were shocked, because He Jin had just been killed by them, and they had not had time to arrange follow-up matters.
In desperation, Zhang Rang came to the palace gate and replied: "Cao Mengde, Yuan Benchu, the general has gone to see the Queen Mother, and you can go to the Queen Mother's bedroom." β
Hearing Zhang Rang say this, Cao Cao and Yuan Shao didn't believe it at all, but continued to ask about He Jin's whereabouts.
Zhang Rang saw that he couldn't hide it, so he asked Qu Mu to throw He Jin's head out.
Immediately after, Zhang Rang shouted: "Cao Mengde, Yuan Benchu, the general He Jin plotted to rebel, and he has been killed by us. β
When they saw He Jin's head, Cao Cao and Yuan Shao were very shocked.
After a pause, Cao Cao and Yuan Shao angrily beckoned the soldiers to start charging the city.
Hearing the sound of banging on the door outside the palace gate, Zhang Rang knew that he couldn't stop Yuan Shao and Cao Cao and the others, so he said to the rest of the Zhongchang attendants: "Everyone, Yuan Shao and Cao Cao have already led troops to attack the city, and the city gate will not last long, I will quickly protect the emperor and flee for his life!" β
After Zhang Rang finished speaking, the rest of the Zhongchang attendants nodded their heads and agreed, and followed Zhang Rang to the emperor's bedroom.
Besides, after Liu Wei saw Zhang Rang and the others appear, he asked in a panic: "Grandpa Zhang, what happened outside the palace, why is it so noisy?" β
"Your Majesty, there is a chaotic army outside the palace, please flee with the old minister as soon as possible!"
"What, there is a chaotic army, Grandpa Zhang, let's run for our lives!"
After Zhang Rang heard this, he immediately agreed.
At the same time, Zhang Rang ordered Duan Jue, Zhang Gong, Song Dian, and Gao Wang to go to protect Liu Xie, the king of Bohai, from the palace.
Just after Zhang Rang and others escorted Liu Wei and Liu Xie to escape from the palace, Cao Cao and Yuan Shao's soldiers finally broke through the city gate.
Seeing this, Cao Cao and Yuan Shao immediately led their troops into the palace.
Wherever the army went, not a single eunuch survived.
Besides, Dong Zhuo, who was stationed near Luoyang City, saw the thick smoke billowing above Luoyang City, he immediately guessed that there was a change in the palace, and immediately led his troops to gallop towards Luoyang City, because many of his subordinates were cavalry.
After coming to Luoyang City, Dong Zhuo learned through many inquiries that Zhang Rang and other ten permanent servants had kidnapped Liu Wei and Liu Xie and fled to Beibi Mountain, so he immediately led his army towards Beibi Mountain.
Besides, after Zhang Rang and the other ten permanent servants fled for a long time with Liu Bian and Liu Xie, Liu Bian said to Zhang Rang because he felt hungry in his belly: "Father-in-law Zhang, my stomach is hungry, do I have anything to eat?" β
After Zhang Rang heard this, he really wanted to cry without tears, because they were on the run, where would they have food.
Seeing Zhang Rang's embarrassed look, Liu Xie, the king of Bohai, immediately said: "Brother Huang, I will flee in a hurry, how can they have food for Father-in-law Zhang, you can hold on a little longer." β
Hearing Liu Xie say this, Liu Wei had to endure it.
After walking for a while, Zhang Rang suddenly noticed that an army had appeared, so he immediately took Liu Wei and Liu Xie on a detour.
But on the way to detour, Zhang Rang suddenly stumbled and fell off the cliff.
Seeing Zhang Rang fall off the cliff, Liu Wei was suddenly frightened, although Liu Xie was also frightened, but he endured his fear and continued to move forward with Liu Bian.
After a while, Liu Xie and Liu Wei collided head-on with Dong Zhuo's soldiers.
Seeing Dong Zhuo's subordinates holding swords, Liu Wei suddenly collapsed to the ground in fright, while Liu Xie held back his fear and asked, "Are you a rebel?" β
Seeing an eight-year-old child asking out loud, Dong Zhuo's subordinates immediately burst out laughing, because Liu Xie's question was too naΓ―ve.
Seeing that Dong Zhuojun's soldiers didn't take Liu Xie seriously, Liu Wei finally mustered up the courage to stand up and said tremblingly: "Do you know who is making fun of? He is the King of the Bohai Sea. β
After hearing Liu Wei's words, Dong Zhuojun's soldiers laughed even more.
At this time, in order to maintain the dignity of the Han family, Liu Xie immediately shouted: "Hugh wants to laugh again, I am the real King of Bohai, and next to me is the current saint." β
When Dong Zhuojun heard this, he almost couldn't control his laughter.
At this moment, Dong Zhuo led his troops to arrive.
When Dong Zhuo saw the figures of Liu Xie and Liu Wei, he immediately dismounted and shouted: "Dong Zhuo, the former general of Weichen, is late to save the car, and I hope that Your Majesty will forgive you." β
After hearing Dong Zhuo's voice, the soldiers of Dong Zhuojun who laughed loudly immediately fell silent, and knelt down at the same time to salute Liu Wei and Liu Xie.
Seeing that it was not the rebels who were talking to them, Liu Xie and Liu Wei breathed a sigh of relief in their hearts.
But Liu Wei forgot to let Dong Zhuo get up.
When Dong Zhuo knelt and didn't hear Liu Bian's reply for a long time, he suddenly became dissatisfied with Liu Bian.
And when Liu Xie saw that Dong Zhuo and the others were still kneeling, he immediately helped Liu Wei and said: "Dong Aiqing is exempt!" β
After receiving this reply, Dong Zhuo stood up and said to Liu Xie: "Thank you, Your Majesty!" β
When Liu Xie heard this, he hurriedly replied: "Dong Aiqing, Lone is the King of the Bohai Sea, not the current saint, the one next to me is the current saint." β
After Dong Zhuo heard this, he found that Liu Wei was still hiding behind Liu Xie, and he suddenly came up with the idea of abolishing the emperor.
Then, Dong Zhuo immediately led the army to escort Liu Xie and Liu Wei to return to Luoyang City.
On the way back, Dong Zhuo asked Liu Wei and Liu Xie about the incident, and Liu Wei replied incoherently, while Liu Xie could express it clearly.
Seeing this situation, Dong Zhuo's idea of abolishing the emperor became even more firm.
At this moment, in the mighty welcoming procession outside Luoyang City, Cui Lie saw that Dong Zhuo was actually riding in a car with Liu Wei and Liu Co., and he immediately stood up and said: "Dong Zhuo, Your Majesty and the King of Bohai are both in the carriage, why don't you avoid it, but ride in the same car?" β
"Cui Lie, I have traveled more than 300 miles day and night, what are you saying to avoid now? Believe it or not, I cut off your head. β
Cui Lie was speechless for a while, so he had to retreat.
At this time, Taifu Yuan Kui came out again and said, "Dong Zhuo, what is the reason for you to bring troops into Beijing?" It is not yet possible to retreat quickly. β
Dong Zhuo replied: "As ministers of state, you ministers can't support the Han family, causing turmoil in the country and leaving the Son of Heaven behind, how can you let me withdraw from the army?" β
was choked by Dong Zhuo, and the ministers were silent, because what Dong Zhuo said was indeed right.
Seeing that no one was stopping, Dong Zhuo immediately led his troops into Luoyang City.
