Chapter 144: Where to go
Luoyang, the General's Mansion.
"See the General!" The military generals of the Chinese ministers of the government all wore mourning clothes and bowed to He Jin, who was also dressed in plain clothes.
"No need to be polite, today I want everyone to dress like this to come here, the reason is very clear, the saint is seriously ill, I have ordered too often Pan Yin, to visit, now the saint is surrounded by eunuchs and those people, they are slandering the saint day and night to establish the prince to assist the successor to the unification, in order to take the opportunity to murder me, if it is not for Pan Taichang's words to save me in front of the palace gate, I don't know where to die at this time!" He Jin was sitting on the top and said angrily.
"It's so damnable!" The following civil ministers and generals have discussed.
He Jin continued: "Jian Shuo is dead, the rest of the people are not worried, today I want to punish the eunuchs, I don't know what you think?" β
"Good! Kill the eunuchs! Qingjun side! The crowd shouted in response.
"No!" There was an echo, but there was an opposing voice, and everyone followed the reputation, it turned out to be Cao Cao, the captain of the military academy, so they all asked him suspiciously, "Why is Meng De opposed?" β
Cao Cao remembered Liu Hong's words about deposing He Jin before his death, so he naturally wanted to knock on the side, so he said calmly: "The trend of eunuchs is from the time of impulse, and for more than a hundred years, it has spread very seriously in the imperial court, how can it be said that you can kill all you want?" If you don't plan carefully, you will be able to destroy your own family: please think carefully and think twice before acting! β
It makes sense, but no one listens to him, which of the Manchu Dynasty ministers is not more respected than him Cao Cao? They all laughed at him: "Junior Mengde, know the major affairs of the imperial court? β
"Punish the eunuchs, but the hope of the world's scholars, why does Meng De have only objections? What the right person said is hard to expect! He Jin paused for a moment and smiled, "I almost forgot, after you are also a eunuch, no wonder you will speak for them, hahaha!" β
The knives were all on his neck and there were jokes about his subordinates, and after snorting, Cao Cao kept silent with a black face.
While he was talking, Pan Yin also came back from the palace, and when he saw He Jin, he immediately said: "The Holy Lord has died, and now the ten permanent servants are discussing and preparing to keep the funeral secret, and falsely proclaim the will to announce that the general will enter the palace to prevent future troubles, and then canonize the Emperor as the emperor!" β
"It's beautiful to think about, but I'm not as good as they like!" He Jin shouted angrily, "Tell me to go down, order the people and horses of the Beijing Division to wait in front of the palace, and we will lead the troops to the funeral, and see what the ten permanent servants can do to me!" β
"I'm afraid it's not good!" Wang Yun hesitated.
"The master is too worried! Now Zhang Rang is falsely ordering the assassination of the general, and it is natural for the general to crusade against the traitor! Yuan Shao said generously.
"Yes, I have to act quickly, all the way to the funeral, all the way to welcome the prince to the throne, if the ten permanent servants control the prince, the consequences will be unimaginable!" Cao Cao also said.
"You have a point, let's go!" He Jin nodded.
"The Divine Decree has arrived!" Before the words were finished, the mission of the DPRK and China had arrived, and everyone's hearts sank: It seems that the dispute between the eunuchs of the foreign relatives is about to be staged again.
"Wait for the order!" Knowing that it was a false edict. He Jin still had to kneel down and obey orders.
"General He entered the palace!" In just a few numbers, everyone knows that there is a murderous intention.
But Zhao Zhong's layout is inevitably too naΓ―ve.
In front of the coffin of the emperor in the palace, He Jin was leading dozens of important ministers of the court, such as He Hao, Xun You, Zheng Tai, Yuan Shao, and Cao Cao, to cry and worship on the ground.
Cao Cao whispered beside He Jin: "Today's plan, it is advisable to take the throne first, and then plan the thief!" β
He Jin nodded, and asked sharply: "Who dares to beg for a thief with my Zhengjun?" β
Yuan Shao said: "Five thousand Imperial Forest Army Chen soldiers are outside the palace gate, just waiting for the general to say a word, cut the pass in, set up a new monarch, punish all the eunuchs, sweep the court, and calm the world!" β
"Good!" He Jin Huo Ran got up and said to the minister: "The country can't be without a king for a day, please appoint the crown prince to the throne!" β
"The country cannot be without a king for a day, please appoint a prince to ascend to the throne!" The crowd responded in unison.
Not long after, the eighteen-year-old Liu Wei was put on the throne in a daze in an ill-fitting dragon robe.
"Long live my emperor, long live, long live!" The voices of hundreds of officials are endless.
"Do you have anything to play?" Liu Wei asked timidly.
The Minister of Civil and Military Affairs couldn't help but laugh, this emperor had no prestige at all.
"Your Majesty, please kill the ten permanent servants!" One person came out of the class to play, it was Cao Cao.
A word to wake up the dreamer! "Please send a decree to kill the Ten Standing Servants!" Others responded with a bang.
"Ahh Zhao Zhong, who was worried in the harem, sneezed, and the tea bowl in his hand smashed on the ground.
"It's not good, there is a bad omen!" Zhao Zhong was excited, and the eunuchs serving outside the gate hurried in.
"How's it going?" Zhao Zhong asked eagerly.
"Lord Qiqi, He Jin and his people have already premeditated, and now they have set up the crown prince to ascend the throne, and respect his sister Queen He as the queen mother. The servants rushed to report the news, my lord, leave quickly, I'm afraid that the court has already sent someone here at this time! The little eunuch said.
"Ahh Zhao Zhong's legs were weak and he almost fell, but the little eunuch hurriedly helped him up and ran to the imperial garden.
At this time, the palace was already shouting and killing, and they were all shouting to kill the ten permanent servants, and Zhang asked everyone to gather together to discuss countermeasures.
"Grandpa Zhang, what should we do?" Duan Gui asked in a panic.
"What to do? See if we want to live or die! Zhang Rang said with a blue face.
"Needless to say, of course we want to live, will we still be afraid that we will not be able to live long?" Guo Shengdao.
"If you want to live, you can only turn your hands!" Zhang said.
"How?" Cao Jie hurriedly asked.
"Shengshang, He Jin, He Hou, are not our backers now, so we have to tie up with He Hou, Shengshang is young and ignorant, it is the capital we can use, Guo Sheng, you go and kill Zhao Zhong, dedicate the head to He Jin, and put all the responsibility on Zhao Zhong, in the end we are still the winners!" Zhang Rang's face was cold, and he measured the road.
"Father-in-law Zhang's plan is clever, Guo Sheng will do it!" Guo Sheng hurried away after speaking.
A figure suddenly flashed outside the door, and Zhang Rang shouted: "Who? β
"Don't you want to kill people? I'm here to show you the way! The man said coldly.
"Are you friend or foe?" Guo Sheng rushed out, only to see a man in black smiling and running towards the Imperial Garden.
"Father-in-law Zhang, do you want to chase it?" Guo Sheng didn't know what to do for a while.
Zhang Rang hesitated: "Chase!" β
"What to do? They entered the Queen Mother's Palace! The pursuers chased and killed all the way, and Zhang Rang and the other ten permanent attendants panicked to find the Empress Dowager He, and of course, there was a bloody gift.
"You guys are guarding here, I'll report to the general!"
"No!"
"The Queen Mother, help!" In the palace of Empress Dowager He, Zhang Rang and others knelt on the ground and begged for mercy.
"Grandpa Zhang, what's going on? Get up! He Yan, who was sighing at the untimely death of her husband, was also dressed in filial piety at this time, but she couldn't hide her beauty at all.
She did not listen to Liu Hong's intention and depose He Jin as the general, but immediately passed Liu Hong's death to He Jin through Taichang Pan Yin, so that He Jin could quickly organize troops and horses to support Liu Wei to ascend the throne.
"Our life hangs in the balance of the Queen Mother's thoughts, if the Queen Mother doesn't agree, we are willing to crash into the stairs and die!" Zhang Rang and others said miserably.
"Okay, okay, the mourning family promised you, get up and talk quickly!"
"The Queen Mother Mingjian, it was only Jian Shuo who designed to murder the general, we never agreed, and now Jian Shuo has been killed by us, and now his head is here, I hope the Queen Mother will read the old love and save my life!" Zhang Rang's words were extremely poignant, and the Empress Dowager He was sad to hear.
"The eldest brother is too unreasonable, and others will forget it, even Engong will be murdered, you will go to the back to rest first, and the mourning family will pass on the general to ask!" He Yan didn't know that he was planting the seeds of death for himself at this time.
Above the court, He Jin and his cadres were waiting for the news, and suddenly saw Xun You, the waiter of the Yellow Gate, coming with a decree in his hand: "The Queen Mother has a will, and the general Xuanda is discussing!" β
"The Queen Mother said that I don't know what happened at this time?" He Jin asked everyone.
"It must be the Ten Constant Servants who will sue the Queen Mother, wanting to avoid death with the kindness of the past!" Cao Cao said.
"Private affairs are small, national affairs are big, and generals must not be soft-hearted!" Yuan Shao also said.
"And look at what the Queen Mother says, maybe it may not be as expected by the princess?" He Jin hesitated.
"What if it is?" The two asked together.
"Gongda, please lead the way!" He Jin didn't answer them, and walked straight to the Empress Dowager's palace with Xun You.
Cao Cao sighed, laughed again, and withdrew from the court in the surprised look of everyone......
The world is unpredictable, Cao Cao walked on the road, analyzing the general trend of the world with a heavy heart:
Now the situation is a little different, Dong Zhuo did not die, on the contrary, he also held the 100,000 army of Xiliang firmly in his hands, and he even suspected that Dong Zhuo was trying to consume the power of the official army, and now Dong Zhuo is the actual Liangzhou pastor, the nominal state pastor, the original meaning of the imperial court is to let Dong Zhuo hand over the military power, but Dong Zhuo repeatedly said that Liangzhou could not do without him, or the soldiers claimed to kill the ten permanent servants, but in fact they were greedy for military power, maybe there would be a conflict with Ding Yuan, hey speechless, Anyway, as long as you don't let him get close to Jingshi, it won't have much impact, this Dong Zhuo is already an old man who is close to his sixtieth birthday, and he hopes that if he has a headache or brain fever or something, everything will be fine if he dies quickly.
"What do you think? Mengde, so fascinating! Suddenly, his body was pulled by someone, and Cao Cao looked back and saw that it was Bao Xin, a sworn friend.
"Brother Yuncheng, why did you come out too?" Cao Cao asked curiously.
"If I don't come out, you Cao Cao will feed the fish!" Bao Xin laughed.
Cao Cao looked at his feet, he was very attentive, and he would fall into the lotus pond if he took another step.
"Hahahaha!"
"Has the court been dispersed?" On the way back to the post house, Cao Cao asked lightly.
"Not yet, I should be waiting for news from the general!" Bao Xin speculated.
"What's there to wait for, it's just an order to announce that the Ten Standing Servants will not be killed again!" Cao Cao snorted and said disdainfully.
"Is the Queen Mother really so unreasonable?" Bao Xin followed Cao Cao out of the palace gate and asked suspiciously.
"Of course she will, and she will be very unreasonable, because she doesn't know what it is!" Thinking of this, Cao Cao couldn't help but raise his voice angrily, "Brother Yuncheng, you don't want to think about how smart a simple-minded pig-killing sister can be even if she becomes the queen mother?" In addition to thinking about the Holy Lord's luck and beauty all day long, and intriguing with other concubines, what else will I do? What does she know about reason? Do you know what it means to be in dire straits? Do you know what is the danger of social distress? β
"Meng De, what you said is a bit explicit!" Bao Xin looked nervously at the guards nearby.
"I dare to talk nonsense only if I have a good relationship with you!" Cao Cao smiled, got on the horse, looked at the distance and said calmly, "For the sake of the country, I, Cao Mengde, can do whatever it takes!" β
