Chapter 87: The Rebellion of the Ten Servants

Dong Zhuo and Han Hao had a conversation, and they mostly expressed their intention to recruit Han Hao, but Han Hao always politely refused. Dong Zhuo showed a look of worrying about the country and the people, and sighed: "Fang Jinsheng is young, and the ten permanent servants in the court and the middle of the court are causing trouble in the government. This officer is leading the troops outside, and he only hates not being able to clear the king's side! ”

Seeing this, Han Xuan bowed to Dong Zhuo and said, "Master Dong doesn't have to worry. Although the general He Jin has a heavy army, he has always been afraid of eunuchs. Presumably, he wants to wait for a long time to get rid of the ten permanent servants, but he has too many concerns and must not make a decision immediately. Within ten months, the general will definitely summon Lord Dong to Beijing to get rid of the eunuchs! ”

Dong Zhuo was shocked when he heard this, and a scribe beside him also looked at Han Xuan, and arched his hand to Han Xuan: "The second son is very knowledgeable, and he is excellent in Li Confucianism, and what the second son said is very similar to what he sees below." ”

Han Xuan was secretly shocked, this person was Li Ru, and he really looked like a strategist with a poisonous plan. Han Xuan arched his hand towards Li Ru and said, "I don't dare to compare with Wen Xiansheng, this is Xuan's shallow opinion." Wen Xiansheng is the arm of Lord Dong, and he must have planned a countermeasure for Lord Dong. ”

Li Ru looked at Han Xuan's eyes with appreciation, and Dong Zhuo laughed and said, "I saw that the second son was still young, but I didn't expect to have such knowledge. Terrific! If it is as the second prince said, the official will go to Beijing to help the general cut off the eunuchs. The second son is not in the court, but he knows everything about the affairs of the court. What is the current position of the second son? ”

Han Xuan replied: "Xiaguan holds the position of county magistrate in Luo County, Changsha County, and he went home this time to visit his mother and brother. ”

Dong Zhuo asked Han Hao again: "Brother Ling is expensive this year?" ”

Han Hao replied, "Seven out of ten." ”

Dong Zhuo nodded and said, "Brother Ling is really young and promising, and he has been serving as a county magistrate since seventeen. And the insights are extraordinary, and the Ru clan will definitely prosper in the future. ”

Han Hao replied modestly, and Dong Zhuo asked Han Xuan, "Is the second son willing to come to work under the old man?" The old man will ask for a high-ranking official for you. ”

Han Xuanwan refused: "If you live in the temple, you will worry about the people, and if you are far away from the rivers and lakes, you will worry about the king." Although the lower official is only a small county order, the people of Luo County also need the lower official to seek their welfare. The lower officials do their own work as the county order, and return the peaceful and stable life of the people of Luo County, which is also a worry for the monarch. Above the court, there is a need for a pillar of the country like Dong Daren to support Sheji. ”

Dong Zhuo was a little angry when he saw Han Xuan's rejection of his expedition, and when he saw that Han Xuan was arrogant and difficult to refute, he had to give up.

After Han Hao and Han Xuan sent Dong Zhuo away, Han Xuan patted his heart and said, "It's so dangerous, if Dong Zhuo forcibly recruits me and my eldest brother without worrying about others, then I can't do anything." ”

Han Hao said to Han Xuan: "Dong Zhuo seems to be a loyal minister, but he actually has hidden ambitions, why did you persuade him to enter Beijing." If he enters Beijing and causes chaos in the court, the world will be in chaos. ”

Han Xuan didn't expect Han Hao to also see Dong Zhuo's face, and said: "Li Ru, the strategist next to Dong Zhuo, is a person with vicious eyes, even if I don't say it, he will persuade Dong Zhuo." Besides, there are so many ambitious princes in the world, without him Dong Zhuo, there will be other people coming. So, big brother, you should move the Han family's business to Changsha. ”

Han Hao shook his head and said, "I am now Wang Kuang Taishou to do things under his hands, and it is not easy to leave easily if I have an important position." In addition, my mother and my wife have many dependents, and the road is far away, and thieves such as the Baibo Army and the Montenegrin Army in the North are rampant, and it will be dangerous if they encounter bandits on the way. ”

Han Xuan sighed helplessly, and had no choice but to inspect the family soldiers and Han Hao's pasture. In order to save expenses, Han Hao made significant layoffs. There are only more than 1,800 soldiers left in the Han family, and the ranch is quite large, with more than 3,000 good horses. In order to get acquainted with people, Han Hao sent thousands of horses to the big families such as Wang Kuang and the Dong family in Hanoi. For the time being, the Han family has no funds to buy horses from Su Shuang and Zhang Shiping.

Han Xuan felt very painful, so many good horses had been given away by Han Hao, how many cavalry could he raise if he had so many horses.

Luoyang, the great general He entered the shogunate. He Jin knelt on the main seat, stretched out his hands and asked, "Everyone, what is the best plan, hurry up!" ”

But seeing that the staff members in the lower seat were silent and did not answer, they suggested that He Jin persuade the Empress Dowager He to promise him to send troops to exterminate the eunuchs such as the Ten Standing Attendants, but the Empress Dowager He could not help them if he did not agree. At this time, a person in a guest seat suggested to He Jin: "The general can summon the fierce generals of the Quartet to lead the troops into Beijing and exterminate the eunuchs." Chop first and then play, not afraid that the Queen Mother will not allow it. ”

He Jin clapped his hands and praised: "This plan is feasible. The original truth is my humerus. ”

It turned out that the person who suggested it was Yuan Shao, a lieutenant of the Chinese Military Academy, and He Jin ordered someone to send a letter to summon the former general Dong Zhuo to Beijing. The chief bookkeeper, Chen Lin, Shangshu Lu Zhi and others successively spoke to dissuade He Jin, but He Jin did not listen.

He Jin had just gone out when a person stopped him in his way. It turned out to be Cao Cao, but I saw Cao Cao step forward and say: "The disaster of eunuchs has existed since ancient times. If the general wants to punish him, it is enough to hand over the first evil to a jailer. Why bother to mobilize the army to summon foreign troops into Beijing, so that the matter will inevitably leak, and it will be defeated. ”

He Jin said angrily: "Meng De, are you selfish? The implication is that after Cao Cao was a eunuch, he was somewhat partial to the eunuchs.

Cao Cao suppressed the anger in his heart, stepped aside and sighed: "Those who mess with the world will not enter!" ”

Dong Zhuo was talking to Li Ru in the mansion, when suddenly an edict came, ordering him to enter Beijing to exterminate the eunuchs. Dong Zhuo was overjoyed and said: "Sure enough, as Han Xuan said, this son is like a god, and he doesn't even have to say the time." ”

Li Ru was a little unbalanced in his heart, and he also had the same opinion as Han Xuan, why did Dong Zhuo only say Han Xuan. Li Ru stepped forward and said: "Although the edict is given today, there are many secrets in it. Why don't you send someone to the table, and the name is right. Big things to come. ”

When Dong Zhuo heard this, he sent someone to the table, and he quickly ordered his soldiers and horses to drive to Luoyang, the capital division.

Zhang Rang and other eunuchs learned that He Jin summoned Dong Zhuo and other foreign soldiers to Beijing, but in fact they wanted to exterminate them. Let people falsely spread the edict of Empress Dowager He to announce that He came to stop Yuan Shao and Cao Cao outside the palace. Zhang asked Duan Qi and other eunuchs to send soldiers who had already been ambushed to behead He Jin, and then cut off He Jin's head and threw it out of the palace, saying that He Jin's rebellion had been executed.

Yuan Shao and Cao Cao scolded: "The eunuchs murdered the ministers, and the evil ones came to help the war!" He Jin's general Wu Kuang set fire to the Qingzuo Gate, Yuan Shao Cao Cao led people into the palace, Yuan Shu also led troops into the palace, and killed the eunuch when he saw it.

Zhang Rang and Duan Qi escaped from the palace with Liu Wei, the young emperor of the Han Dynasty, and Liu Xie, the king of Chen Liu, and ran to Beibi Mountain overnight. Suddenly, shouts rang out from behind, and I saw a man holding a sword and riding a horse to chase after him, shouting: "The rebel is gone!" ”

Zhang Rang exclaimed: "Your Excellency, you are in a hurry to chase after him, and I beg Your Excellency to spare our lives." ”

The person who came smiled and said: "A certain is Liu Du, the commander of Duliang County, Lingling County, and he is here to rescue the driver." Where is Your Majesty? ”

I saw a big man holding a mountain-opening axe and walking in front of Zhang Rang Duan Jue, it was Liu Du's general Xing Daorong. When they saw the fierce and evil appearance of Xing Daorong, they were so frightened that they peed their pants. Duan Jue said tremblingly: "Your Majesty is still by our side, Lord Liu just caught up, we are so frightened that it is difficult to protect ourselves, Your Majesty and King Chen Liu's nowhere to go." ”

Zhang Rang lay on the ground and buttoned his head again and again, crying: "I beg Lord Liu to spare me and others, the villain has collected a lot of treasures and gold and silver over the years." If the adult releases the villain, the villain can tell the adult the place where the treasure is hidden! ”

Liu Du's eyes lit up when he heard this, what he lacked now was money. So he asked Zhang Rang, "Oh, where is the place where you hide your treasure?" ”

Zhang Rang told him that Liu Du was also trustworthy, and let Xing Daorong let them go and leave with the soldiers.

It turned out that the young emperor Liu Wei and Liu Xie didn't know who Liu Du was, so they were so frightened that they hid in the grass by the river. After that, they walked along the river and came to a farm. The owner of the village is Cui Yi, the younger brother of Situ of the first dynasty, and when he learned the identities of the two, he helped them into the village.

Cui Yizhuang had two horses, so he helped the young emperor to get on the horse, and he rode a horse with Chen Liuwang to send the young emperor back to the capital. didn't go far, but hundreds of people and horses, including Tai Lieutenant Yang Biao, Situ Wang Yun, and Zuo Military Captain Chun Yuqiong, came one after another, and surrounded the young emperor to return to Beijing.

Luoyang nursery rhyme says: Wang is not the king, the emperor is not the emperor, thousands of rides to the north. And the prophecy came true.
