Yuan Shao looked at this burden and guessed that the bread here was He Jin's head, and he was immediately shocked. Although he guessed that He Jin had an accident, he couldn't guess that He Jin was actually killed by the eunuch. He thought that the most he did was because of discord with the Queen Mother, and he was locked up by the Queen Mother.

"Zhang Rang, you dog thief, you dare to kill the general of the imperial court, you deserve death!"

Although He Jin is stupid and stupid, he is an extremely important chess piece. At this stage, the Yuan family is not able to stand up and control the government, and then change the world, this He Jin is their best excessive tool.

The Yuan family, who could have been praised all over the world for their fame and protégés all over the world, slowly took over the authority of the Han family through He Jin and became the new royal family. But now that he is so dead, it will be very troublesome for the next arrangement.

Zhang Rang retorted: "He Jin assassinated His Majesty and the Queen Mother in the palace last night, what I killed was just a traitor, and you, Yuan Shao, a henchman in the general's mansion, are also traitors." Now that you voluntarily surrendered, it would save me from looking for you. Someone, arrest this traitor! ”

The gates slowly opened, and a group of soldiers rushed out. Seeing this, Yuan Shao immediately turned around and fled south.

It wasn't until Yuan Shao was exhausted that he finally saw Yuan Shu coming quickly at the end of the street. As soon as the pursuers behind him saw a large number of men and horses coming, they immediately ran back in fright.

"Highway, the general has been killed by the eunuchs, quickly, quickly lead the army to attack the imperial city!" Yuan Shao stopped and shouted loudly.

After Yuan Shu heard the news of He Jin's death, he was stunned for a moment, but immediately regained his composure. In this situation, there is no difference between He Jin and He Jin. He immediately ordered: "The eunuch plotted rebellion, killed the general, held the Son of Heaven and the Queen Mother hostage, and the monarchs, and killed the thieves with me to quell the rebellion!" ”

The forbidden army that fled back told Zhang Rang the news that soldiers and horses had entered the city and were shouting to the imperial city. Frightened, his originally pale face became even paler, and he immediately ordered the city gate to be closed, and sent people to ask for help from the forbidden army guarding the imperial city.

After Yuan Shu came to the imperial city, he immediately ordered the siege of the city. However, because the imperial city was much higher than the city wall of Luoyang, and he did not bring many people, there was no substantial progress for more than an hour.

Yuan Shu was already an anxious person, and when he saw that the imperial city was difficult to attack, he couldn't help but become irritable. "Set fire to me and burn this palace gate to me!"

The soldiers first risked their lives to pour oil on the palace gate, and then began to shoot rockets at the palace gate continuously, and a raging fire immediately ignited on the gate.

There are no ready-made stones or anything else in the palace that can be used to block the palace gate, and Yuan Shu uses oil to burn the door, and the forbidden army can't extinguish it at all.

Zhang Rang was in a hurry, if it went on like this, these people would attack sooner or later, he looked around, just now he had obviously sent someone to ask for help, why didn't the reinforcements come.

In fact, those generals of the forbidden army who originally colluded with Zhang Rang and other eunuchs and were in the same stream, after hearing that Zhang Rang had booby-trapped He Jin, they took the initiative to draw a line with him. So the reinforcements he had been waiting for would not come.

With a bang, the palace gate was burned down and collapsed directly. The soldiers outside the city immediately stepped on the still burning city gate and rushed straight in. As more and more soldiers trampled on it, the fire on the wreckage was trampled on.

Zhang let the ghosts risk and ordered the guards to resist, while he ran to the palace. He came to the palace of the Son of Heaven and saw the young emperor Liu Wei playing with Liu Xie, the king of Chen Liu.

Liu Wei is only eleven years old this year, even if he has a noble status, he is just a child.

When he saw Zhang Rang running in violently, he immediately trembled with fright.

Zhang Rang tried his best to make himself look kinder, and he bowed to Liu Wei: "Your Majesty, Yuan Shao, the captain of Sili, and Hu Ben Zhonglang led Yuan Shu into chaos, and now they have invaded the imperial city, please follow me to take refuge." ”

It's good that he didn't say this, but when he said it, Liu Wei was even more afraid. Although Liu Wei is still young, he also knows what a rebellion is. That is, rebelled against him, the emperor, and came to kill him.

couldn't hold back for a while, and Liu Wei suddenly cried. Zhang Rang was in a hurry and didn't know how to comfort him.

However, after Liu Xie, who was five years younger than Liu Wei, heard the news, he did not panic, but said calmly: "You are talking nonsense, the fourth and third princes of the Yuan family, who are famous all over the world, how could they do something rebellious." It must be you who spread rumors and deceive the royal brother. ”

Not to mention whether Xiao Liu Xie is right or not, just by virtue of his young age, he can be so calm and not chaotic, if he is the emperor, he is not a generation of Ming Jun, then he is also a virtuous man.

It is precisely because of this that Zhang Rang does not want Liu Xie to be the emperor. How could a wise emperor allow eunuchs to gain power, or an emperor like Liu Wei was easy to control.

"What did King Chen Liu say, the slave maid is loyal to His Majesty. Now that time is running out, it is better to flee for your life quickly, otherwise as soon as the rebels arrive, Your Majesty and King Chen Liuwang will be in danger. ”

Liu Xie snorted, and said in a milky voice: "Even if the Yuan brothers rebel, they still dare to kill the king." Brother Huang, don't listen to this slave and maid alarmist, as far as I know, even if the Yuan brothers want to kill, they will kill this slave and maid who deceived their father. ”

Zhang Rang was angry, this Liu Xie was young, and he still knew a lot. What made him even more anxious was that after listening to his brother's comfort, Liu Wei, the son of heaven, was no longer afraid and stopped crying.

"My brother is right, I'm here, I'm not going anywhere." Liu Wei said.

"Your Majesty, the slave maid has served the Son of Heaven for three dynasties, doesn't Your Majesty believe the words of the slave maid? Go with the slave or maid, or it will be too late. ”

As he spoke, he stepped forward directly to pull Liu Bian. Liu Xie stepped forward to stop him, but he was a six-year-old child, where was this old eunuch's opponent.

Zhang Rang picked up Liu Xie: "Chen Liuwang should also go together, it's too dangerous to stay here." ”

He held Liu Xie in his left hand, pulled Liu Wei with his right hand, and walked directly outside.

The other eunuchs in the Ten Standing Attendants had already prepared the carriage, and Zhang Rang put the two children in the carriage and fled the palace by car with the others.

……

Yuan Shu was still fighting the defenders, and was already on the verge of defeating them. At this time, Yuan Shao dared to come with more soldiers and horses, so the defenders suddenly collapsed.

"If you hadn't messed up the situation, I'd have won." Yuan Shu said dissatisfiedly.

"Highway, you don't care what the defenders do. The eunuchs rebelled, and we came to kill the eunuchs and rescue the Son of Heaven. ”

After speaking, Yuan Shao immediately ordered all palace doors to be closed, and no eunuch was allowed to escape.

Yuan Shu looked at Yuan Shao's majestic appearance, and said jealously: "Hmph, what's the spirit." ”

The two led the troops to the Son of Heaven's dormitory and found that it was empty, so Yuan Shu casually grabbed a palace maid and asked, "Say, where has Your Majesty gone!" ”

The palace maid said tremblingly: "Just now, Zhang and Zhang Changshou came and took away Your Majesty, as well as King Chen Liu." ”

As soon as the palace maid finished speaking, Yuan Shu stabbed her to death with a sword. Yuan Shao said in surprise: "Why did you kill her?" ”

Yuan Shu pulled out his sword and said disdainfully: "It's just a palace maid, kill it, kill it." Besides, she obviously saw that Zhang Rang took away the Son of Heaven, but she didn't stop it, she was innocent. ”

Yuan Shao was helpless against Yuan Shu's strong words, and he would not turn his face against Yuan Shu for a palace maid.

Yuan Shu ignored Yuan Shao and continued: "Right now, Zhang Rang has fled with the Son of Heaven, and it has only been a long time since then, they should not be far away, so let's quickly lead the troops to chase it." ”

"No, I think I should finish what is in front of me, and it's not too late to rescue the Son of Heaven." Yuan Shao thought about it and directly rejected Yuan Shu's proposal.

These were Yuan Shu's turn to be shocked: "What are you talking about, is there anything more important than saving the Son of Heaven right now?" ”

"Naturally, there is, and the more important thing at the moment is to get rid of all the eunuchs. Otherwise, even if the Son of Heaven is rescued, but the palace is filthy because of the eunuchs, it will not work. ”

"But if Zhang Rang runs away with the Son of Heaven, and declares my Yuan clan rebelled in the name of the Son of Heaven outside, the whole world will crusade against us at that time. You, me, and the Yuan clan will all be ruined, and there will be no place to bury them! ”

Even if Yuan Shu said so, Yuan Shao still rejected his proposal: "Eliminate all the eunuchs in the palace, you can't win too long, Zhang Rang can't run far with the Son of Heaven."

Besides, even if he really calls on the world to crusade against my Yuan clan in the name of the Son of Heaven as you said, it must be trusted by the people of the world. My Yuan family's protégés and former officials are all over the world, who would believe this nonsense. ”

After two disasters of the party, the party members have changed from hating eunuchs at the beginning to hating and fearing, bullying the weak and fearing the hard. Because of fear, they always thought about getting rid of the eunuchs.

Yuan Shao was a member of the party, and he also used the six years of filial piety to keep secret contacts with other party members. So now he would rather not have the Son of Heaven than kill the eunuchs.

So, this matter was decided, Yuan Shao gave up recovering the Son of Heaven, and instead went on a killing spree in the palace. He had already ordered the army to close the palace gates, so no matter who it was, they couldn't escape.

The two brothers, Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu, led the troops to conduct this carpet search in the palace, and found and killed all the eunuchs, whether old or young.

"Brothers, there is another eunuch here." The soldier shouted

"Brother, you recognized the wrong person, I'm not a eunuch." This man's voice sounded very loud, and he was indeed not a eunuch.

But the soldier would not recognize the voice: "You steding, you actually want to lie to me, are you blind to me!" Not a eunuch, why don't you have a beard on your face! ”

"I ......"

So he was killed by mistake. However, this is not an isolated case, as there are many people who have been killed by mistake because they have no beard

The eunuchs and those who were mistakenly killed together were more than 2,000. For a time, the Han Palace was full of blood, and corpses were everywhere.

Of course, the two Yuan brothers not only killed the eunuchs, they also emptied the treasures of several palaces, and burned the palace afterwards, claiming that the slaves in the palace did it.

In Luoyang City, all the party members were paying attention to this palace turmoil and breathed a sigh of relief.

Over the years, in order to eliminate the eunuchs, too many of them have died one after another, and now their political aspirations have finally been achieved.

The world will definitely become more clear after this palace turmoil.

……

Twenty miles west of Luoyang, at the Sunset Pavilion, Dong Zhuo led the army to temporarily stationed here.

Originally, at this time, Dong Zhuo had already appeared outside Luoyang City, but because of the appearance of one person, the army was blocked.

This person is the counselor sent by the Empress Dowager He.

The people who can be counselors are basically people with a very stubborn temper, as long as they think it is right, and others have no reason to refute it, then there is only one result, that is, they will not give up until they achieve their goal. Of course, Chong Shao is also such a person.

He was ordered to come to persuade Dong Zhuo to withdraw his troops, and it happened to be in this sunset pavilion when he saw Dong Zhuo.

Dong Zhuo saw that Shao persuaded him to bring troops back to the state, so naturally he couldn't agree. There may be changes in Luoyang now, and if he leaves at this time, won't he be able to be a fisherman.

So Dong Zhuo rejected Chong Shao's suggestion, and asked the soldiers to surround him, threatening to kill him if he dared to say a word again.

As a result, Shao scolded, of course, he was a scholar, and when he scolded, he also quoted scriptures without any vulgar words.

Dong Zhuo was at a loss by what he said, so he had to stop here and stop moving forward.

Li Ru walked into Dong Zhuo's big tent, and Dong Zhuo asked, "Is that Shao gone?" ”

"My lord, he still sits motionless in front of the camp gate, and has not eaten for a whole day." Li Ru said with a wry smile.

"Hmph, that's why I hate people like him the most, I feel that I have a reason, so I think everyone should listen to him. Since he doesn't want to eat, he doesn't care. ”

That's right, Chong Shao's method of stopping Dong Zhuo is very simple and rude, that is, using his body and life to stop Dong Zhuo. If you want to move forward, you have to step over his corpse. And unless Dong Zhuo withdraws his troops, he will not leave.

If it weren't for Li Ru saying that killing such a loyal minister would arouse the disgust of the people of the world, Dong Zhuoxing might have really pressed over him.

Moreover, the Sunset Pavilion is also very close to Luoyang, so it is okay to wait and see what happens here This is also the reason why Dong Zhuo did not forcibly move forward.

At this time, the scout came to report: "General, smoke has risen in the city of Luoyang. ”
