Suddenly, Yuan Shao thought of an idea: "General, since you explained the benefits and disadvantages, and the Queen Mother still didn't listen, it is better to summon the foreign ministers to persuade the Queen Mother." ”

He Jin saw that Yuan Shao had an idea, and thought it was a good idea, but he didn't expect it to be like this: "At the beginning, it was useless for me to persuade him, what was the use of summoning foreign ministers to persuade him." ”

"General, don't worry, listen to what I have to say." Yuan Shao said, "What I mean by foreign ministers to persuade the queen mother is not to let the foreign ministers persuade the queen mother, but to let the foreign ministers lead troops into Beijing and force the queen mother to issue an order to kill the eunuchs." ”

"This, this, how can this be done!" He Jin didn't expect Yuan Shao to come up with such an idea. "The foreign minister has nothing to do to enter Beijing, isn't that a rebellion?"

"How can this be said to be nothing? Punish the eunuch, Qingjun side, isn't this a big deal? Besides, this move is not to let the foreign ministers really enter Beijing, but to let them strengthen their momentum. ”

He Jin listened to Yuan Shao's words, and was a little hesitant in his heart, "But it takes the edict of the Son of Heaven to summon foreign ministers to lead troops into Beijing, so that the queen mother and eunuchs will know that they will not agree." ”

Yuan Shao laughed at He Jin in his heart, he was worthy of being a butcher, he was really stupid. Needless to say, if you issue an edict in the name of the Son of Heaven, of course those people will know.

"The general is now in charge of the government, and he is also qualified to issue documents to let the foreign ministers bring troops into Beijing. As long as the matter is kept secret and not let them know. ”

After listening to this, He Jin also made up his mind in his heart, and agreed with Yuan Shao's suggestion: "Since this is the case, then act according to the original opinion." ”

But he had a question in his heart: "Now that the first emperor has delegated the right to recruit soldiers, there are many local officials with soldiers and horses in the world, and I don't know who is the right person to call?" ”

Yuan Shao thought for a while and said: "You don't need too many people, too many will cause accidents." All you need to do is summon a few foreign ministers who are closer to Gyeonggi.

Dong Zhuo, the pastor of Bingzhou, is on his way to Bingzhou, and he should still be in Hedong County now, so he can be summoned to Beijing. The original state assassin Dinh was ordered to enter Beijing, and now it should be re-enacted in Hanoi County. In addition to the addition of a Dongjun Taishou Qiaomao, let him be stationed in Chenggao.

With these three people, I believe that the Queen Mother will not be able to withstand the pressure and issue an edict to kill the eunuchs. ”

"Okay, that's it."

……

Yucheng, Dong Zhuo has led his troops here since he learned that Emperor Ling had died, so that once something happens in the capital, he can quickly lead his troops there.

But a piece of good news from the sky made it easy for him to wait.

"The general's order, from now on, Dong Zhuo will lead his soldiers and horses into Beijing, except for the eunuchs, and the Qing monarch."

After the envoy left, Dong Zhuo immediately summoned his generals and announced the good news to them.

"I've been waiting here for almost two months, and we're almost rusty. Now it's just right, we don't have to wait for an accident, we can enter Beijing now. ”

When all the soldiers heard Dong Zhuo's words, they were all excited. Li Ru smiled and said, "Lord, without further ado, let's hurry up and send troops." ”

Dong Zhuo waved his hand: "Okay, the whole army is assembled and set off immediately." ”

Within a few days, Dong Zhuo sent troops to Hangu Pass. The defenders on the pass were panicked by the sudden appearance of the Han army.

The guard shouted loudly: "Who is coming! ”

Dong Zhuo replied: "I am Dong Zhuo, the pastor of the state!" ”

"Why are you here?"

"I am entering Beijing by edict, in order to kill the eunuchs, the Qing monarch!"

"There is no messenger who has sent a decree out of the customs today, you will give me the edict to check, I want to see if you are overbearing."

He Jin had instructed that he couldn't let others know about his private summoning himself to Beijing. So Dong Zhuo said: "I'm a state pastor, you little guard dares to question me!" ”

But the guard was not afraid: "You must show the edict or other tokens before I can let you go, this is the duty." If you don't cooperate, you will be leading troops into Beijing without permission, and you will be treasoning! ”

Dong Zhuo was very angry with this guard, but there was nothing he could do. Although after Hangu Pass moved to Xin'an, it was not as dangerous as it was hundreds of years ago, but it was also a high city and deep pond that was easy to defend and difficult to attack.

He now only has 5,000 cavalry in his hands, and if he wants to attack Hangu Pass, it is simply a fool's dream. Now I have to go to Xin'an to garrison first.

……

The fact that the foreign minister led troops to invade Gyeonggi was soon announced in the court.

"Dong Zhuoxian, the pastor of Bingzhou, led 5,000 cavalry to be stationed in Xin'an, and the cavalry of Bingzhou led by Jin Wuding has now arrived at Mengjin Ferry, and Taishou Qiaomao of Dongjun also led soldiers and horses into Chenggao. They all said that they asked His Majesty and the Queen Mother to issue an order to kill the eunuchs. ”

He Jin said the news in front of the Manchu Dynasty civil and military. Immediately, everyone was in an uproar and there were many discussions.

"How dare they do this, they actually led troops into Beijing without permission, this is a rebellion, and it is a big crime to punish the nine clans!"

"Having said that, but the eunuch is a cancer in the world, and in order to get rid of this great evil, it is understandable to send troops to ask for their lives."

"This is a military admonition, but a coercion of the Son of Heaven, and the sin is extremely evil. If this case is opened, if the local government does not obey the imperial court laws in the future, wouldn't it be possible to lead troops into Beijing? ”

Liu Wei, who is only eleven years old this year, sat on the top of the main hall, already panicked, and when he saw the ministers like this, his heart became even more afraid.

If it weren't for the Empress Dowager He who held his hand when she saw this, she was afraid that the dignified Han Tianzi would have cried out at this moment.

"Quiet!" He Jin yelled at everyone, "Above the main hall, there are endless quarrels, what kind of system." The courtiers fell silent at once.

"Your Majesty, the Queen Mother, now the three people are already on the Gyeonggi border, but they have not gone any further, which shows that they really have no intention of rebelling.

There will be such a drastic move, it should be as they said, just to punish the eunuchs and the Qing monarch, and please think twice about Your Majesty and the Queen Mother. ”

As soon as He Jin finished speaking, Lu Zhi, who is known for his loyalty and integrity, stood up again: "Your Majesty, the Queen Mother, and the ministers think that although Dong Zhuo, Ding Yuan, and Qiao Mao have good intentions, this move is to despise the court.

Send at once to persuade them to leave, and if they do, forgive them for their original purpose. If it is stubborn, then troops should be sent immediately to levy it, so as to show that the majesty of the court should not be lightly offended. ”

He Jin shouted: "Lu Zhi! These three people just did a little excesses in order to ask the court to purge the eunuchs. If it is according to your opinion, it will not chill the hearts of loyal ministers.

If sending troops to conscript the army to arouse the dissatisfaction of local officials in other places, will the whole world turn against it? You Lu Zhi is also a famous man in the world, a Confucian master, you don't speak for all the people in the world, but you can't speak for those eunuchs. ”

"General, you can't talk nonsense, when did the lower official speak for the eunuch. Xiaguan means that local officials can manage local affairs well, and the court has its own sense of proportion in the affairs of the imperial court, and there is no need for local officials to worry about it. Lu Zhi retorted.

Yuan Shao, who was standing behind, felt embarrassed, if it weren't for his uncle Yuan Kui who let him follow He Jin, he really didn't want to pay attention to this vulgar butcher.

These words not only insulted a famous person in the world, but also revealed a taste of not admitting themselves.

Liu Wei watched the two people below arguing fiercely, and he was really scared and cried.

And the Empress Dowager He listened to her eldest brother's words, and she also came back to her senses, this so-called military admonition is that the eldest brother ordered the eunuch to be killed in order to force himself to obey and acted in a good show.

"Don't quarrel between the two Aiqing." Empress Dowager He spoke to stop him. The two of them stopped talking for a while, but He Jin's eyes were full of resentment when he looked at Lu Zhi now.

He and Yuan Kui recorded the same Shangshu affairs, and Yuan Kui didn't take care of things much on the grounds of old age, which is equivalent to having monopolized the government. But this Lu Zhi dared to embarrass himself in public, and he simply didn't take himself seriously.

Empress Dowager He saw that the two of them had retreated to their positions, so she said: "The palace thinks that Lu Shangshu's words are quite old-fashioned, so let's do what Lu Shangshu said, and send people to persuade the three people to retreat." ”

The Son of Heaven is young, and the Queen Mother is in charge of the system, and the Queen Mother's will is no different from the Holy Will. He Jin looked at his sister in disbelief, she was not only helping the eunuchs, but also helping Lu Zhi, helping these outsiders, and opposing her brother.

Since the queen mother has spoken and set a policy, the courtiers can only do it. However, Yuan Shao did not give up so quickly as He Jin.

He took the initiative to stand up and bowed to the palace: "Your Majesty, the Queen Mother, and Yuan Shao, the captain of the minister's department, invite yourself to Xin'an to persuade Dong Zhuo's soldiers and horses to retire." ”

He Jinyou looked at Yuan Shao in disbelief, this idea was his idea, could it be that he wanted to break his promise.

Then two more people stood up and invited themselves to Mengjin and Chenggao to persuade Ding Yuan and Qiao Mao to retire.

Empress Dowager He saw that three people recommended themselves, so she agreed to their request: "Since this is the case, then the three Aiqing will go." ”

After the next dynasty, He Jin immediately summoned Yuan Shao in the General's Mansion, and as soon as they met, he shouted angrily: "Yuan Benchu! Look at the good things you did, your own ideas, and solve them yourself, do you want to see my jokes in public! ”

Yuan Shao saw He Jin's angry appearance, but he just laughed at him for being stupid in his heart, and said indeed: "General, don't be angry, I took the initiative to ask for a purpose." ”

"For what purpose?" He Jin planned to hear what Yuan Shao had to say.

The Queen Mother Chrysostom said that the decision made naturally could not be changed. So instead of letting other uninformed people spoil the big thing, it's better for me to do it myself. ”

After He Jin listened to Yuan Shao's words, he calmed down his anger, so he asked, "But what else can I do about this matter now?" ”

"Actually, it's very simple, as long as the general gives me an edict, and I personally send it to Hangu Pass, let the guard open the door, and let Dong Zhuo in."

"You mean the edict!"

……

After Yuan Shao arrived at Hangu Pass, he immediately showed the guard general the forged edict forged by He Jin. "This is the Empress Dowager's decree, as well as the general's warrant, you take a good look, if it is correct, then you can open the city gate."

The guard took a closer look and found no problems, so he said to Yuan Shao: "Obey." ”

The city gate was slowly opened, and Yuan Shao went out of the customs and rushed to Xin'an.

When he arrived in Xin'an, he was warmly welcomed by Dong Zhuo. Yuan Shao came from the Yuan family of the fourth and third princes, which was the top wealthy family, and deserved to be the first scholar family in the world, and he couldn't be too enthusiastic.

Dong Zhuo still likes to associate with celebrities and powerful people as always. Although most of these people didn't give him any good looks, he still did it.

"Xiaguan Yuan Benchu, meet the general." Yuan Shao saluted.

"I've been looking up for a long time, I've heard of the original daimyo since I was the former Hedong Taishou. At the beginning, I followed the ancient system, and kept filial piety for my father and mother for six years, which was for the highest filial piety and was admired by me. Dong Zhuo was full of good feelings for him.

A smile appeared on Yuan Shao's face, which was something he was very proud of, and he was often praised.

Although the actual situation is that in the name of filial piety, he secretly befriended party members and celebrities, accumulated his fame, and prepared for the future, but as long as he praised many people, this is naturally a fact.

"I can't praise the general, and the lower official is here for what General He Jin ordered before."

"Please say that I am willing to obey the general's arrangement." Dong Zhuo said very sincerely.

Yuan Shao nodded: "Now that the gate of Hangu Pass has been opened, the general hopes that the general can lead his troops to continue to advance towards Luoyang, but there is no need to be too fast, just march slowly." ”

"Okay, good, obey the order."

Yuan Shao went back, and Dong Zhuo also entered the Gyeonggi region as he wished, and now he is slowly heading towards Luoyang.

Yuan Shao, who returned to the General's Mansion, said to He Jin: "General, the matter has been done, and then we will wait for the news to come back." ”

At this moment, there is also a group of people in the palace gathered together to discuss important matters related to life.

"You already know what happened at the court yesterday." Zhang Rang was the first to speak.

"I already know." The crowd answered.

"No matter how the Queen Mother shelters me, He Suigao, the butcher, just ignores the Queen Mother's words and is bent on killing me. For this reason, he spared no cost and privately summoned his foreign ministers to bring troops into Beijing. ”

"He Jin is simply too deceitful, if it wasn't for our help, how could Your Majesty ascend to the throne, how could he be a general and a scholar, and the power of the government and the opposition?"

"This kind of villain from a humble background really doesn't understand kindness."

Zhang Rang motioned for everyone to be quiet, and he continued: "For today's plan, there is only one way for us to survive." That is to kill He Jin. ”
