In Luoyang City, in the general's mansion, He Jin waited anxiously like an ant on a hot pot, it was already the middle of the night, Cao Cao, who went to transfer troops outside the city, and Yuan Shao, who went to contact the gate lord of the Shi clan, did not have the slightest news back, and he also knew with his stupid mind that once the dawn, the 'Ten Standing Servants' would definitely take the first step to support the new monarch in the palace, and then it would be the day when he would be killed when He Mansion was full of necks.

"How is it good? How good is that? Isn't it retribution? This situation and this scene can't help but remind him of the time when he used to be a butcher, those fat pigs who were tied to the board to be slaughtered, the sound of sharpening knives has already sounded, even if he is desperately dying, he is not afraid of ......, what is terrible is not death, but the pain when waiting for death!

"Report to the general, a group of soldiers and horses have come to the gate of the mansion!" Just as He Jin realized the pain of the pig before it was killed, and thought that it was a cycle of cause and effect, and when the turn was due, a doorman under his command came in quickly to report it.

"What? …… It's over, it's over, it must be the 'Ten Standing Attendants' who saw that they had not been summoned to the palace for a long time, and sent soldiers and horses to kill themselves," He Jin, who was overly frightened, suddenly stood up from his handsome position, but as soon as he got up halfway, his legs were weak, and he sat down in his seat again, and his face became extremely gray.

He Miao, the second master on the side, sat on the ground with a butt, crying in fright, while crying, he kept dragging things down from his body, jade pendants, gold locks, bead chains, gemstones...... It's all the priceless treasures that I usually receive, "I should have known that the pigs would definitely be killed if they were fattened, I don't want them all, I don't want them all, I want to go back to my hometown, I will never be an official again, leave me with my life, woo!" ……”

Compared with life, money is something outside the body after all!

Seeing the two men in charge of the He Mansion like this, the other staff and guests in the lobby suddenly became confused, some pulled out their swords to fight to the death with the enemy, and some knelt on the ground to pray for the blessing of the gods and Buddhas, but more began to look around, planning where to slip away for a while, and some of the more flexible eyes even aimed at the hidden treasures in the mansion, fishing in troubled waters......

Looking at the chaotic hall, the doorman who reported felt that his words were not explained, and there was ambiguity, and he hurriedly remedied: "Don't be surprised, the general who led the troops outside the mansion was General Cao Mengde, and he transferred soldiers and horses from outside the city to guard the mansion." ”

"Ahh Call! ......" was like a dilapidated bellows, He Jin's breath finally came up, and the heart that jumped to his throat also fell back to its original position, jumping three feet happily, and it was too late to punish the doorman who reported the matter unclearly, so he hurriedly ran outside with his doormen, shouting as he ran: "God! O mercy! Mengde, live up to my trust...... Savior! ”

Looking at the eldest brother who jumped out, at this time the second master He Miao finally reflected, the first thing he did was to pounce on the ground like a vicious dog, and snatched back all the gold and jade jewelry that he had just thrown out, since his life was worry-free, money has become an indispensable thing, this is the inferior nature of human beings, but the sharp-eyed attendant on the side found that in the place where He Miao was slumped just now, a puddle of yellow liquid appeared, and there was a trace of hot ......, just now he was really scared to pee!

Outside the General's Mansion, thousands of 'Xuanjia Iron Cavalry' elite soldiers lined up neatly, although there was no fanfare in order to ensure the concealment of the march, but the silent murderous aura was even more terrifying, looking at this luxurious and luxurious mansion, Xiao Yi smiled coldly, reached out and pulled off the 'Chiyou Ghost Face' on the helmet, the terrifying mask made of iron immediately covered the slightly black handsome little face, tonight he is a murderous sword, and the sword should not be easily seen.

Low-key is king! Only by being low-key can you live a long time!

At the same time, the carriages and horses of the important ministers of the court also began to appear outside the door of the General's Mansion, and it seemed that Yuan Shao's side had also succeeded, but the careful Cao Cao still found that the number of ministers who came was wrong, at least about half less than he expected.

It seems that the ministers of the scholar clan still deliberately preserve part of their strength, after all, the situation has not yet become completely clear, and it is difficult to say who wins and who loses in the battle between He Jin and the 'Ten Standing Servants', and it is indeed not a wise move to put all the capital on it now.

As for the actions of the ministers of the noble clan, it is a little cold, many of these people have white silk tied on their foreheads, and Aso is tied around their waists, dressed in filial piety clothes, it seems that they already know the news of the death of the emperor in the palace, and they may even know it earlier than the General's Mansion. However, these scholars who always put the word 'monarch' on their lips on weekdays do not see the slightest look of sadness on their faces at this time, but instead reveal either excitement or pride, and they can't wait to cut off the fattest part of this sumptuous political feast and swallow it alone!

This is the scholars of the Eastern Han Dynasty, in their eyes, there is only home, no country, only private interests, no world, as long as their rights and interests are not harmed, even if he floods!

Not to mention that now it's just that the emperor has died, the new monarch has succeeded to the throne, and it is just a change of emperor, that is, a change of dynasty, a change of surname in the world, as long as you can get a large amount of benefits, it is estimated that these scholars will also raise their hands and feet in favor!

"Why are these people born rich and noble, no matter how straw bales and rice buckets, there will be officials for generations, just because they have the right birth? …… And what about yourself? is full of strategy, but he has not been able to use it, but he has always been excluded from the periphery, is it because of his bad background? For the first time in his life, Cao Cao felt a deep disgust for these scholars who only looked at their origins and family backgrounds, and the idea of breaking all this and re-establishing a fair, reasonable, and meritocracious Han regime began to take root in his mind......

Thinking of this, Cao Cao suddenly felt that the clan lords were not so terrible, and the Yuan Shao family of the fourth and third princes was not invincible, all of them were just a group of people who forgot their lives when they saw small profits, and did big things and spared their lives!

Everything is ready, do not owe the east wind!

The brigade of men and horses gathered around the ministers and ministers in the direction of the palace, and as they went, some officials joined in, apparently all of them came at the news, like wild dogs following behind lions, waiting to share some of the remaining carrion.

Coming to the Suzaku Gate, the whole team had formed a huge human dragon, and the general He Jin was sitting on his Qibao Yuan Rong car, which had long since lost the panicked appearance just now, and was surrounded by a group of sycophants, and seemed to be worth a hundred times.

As for Cao Cao and Xiao Yi, they are still at the forefront of the team, but Xiao Yi deliberately put the horse's head half a body behind, which is a kind of respect for Cao Cao, saying that he does not dare to sit on an equal footing with him, and for this reason, he also made the 'cabbage' very unhappy, it has no habit of falling behind other horses, and Xiao Yi had to stretch out his hand to appease for a while, which coaxed the uncle. Don't look at it as a small thing, but human nature is often reflected in these insignificant little things.

At least Cao Cao is very satisfied with Xiao Yi now, and in addition to the strong appreciation in his eyes, he also has a bit of love, as if he is looking at an outstanding junior!

The palace in the night does not have the sacrosanct atmosphere of the daytime, but is more like a huge prison, trapping countless careerists and schemers, but for thousands of years, there are still countless people rushing into it like moths throwing fire, one after another, just for the supreme right.

Coming to the palace gate, the vanguard and a team of Xiyuan forbidden troops guarding the palace gate confronted, one side wanted to enter the palace, the other side guarded their duties, the two sides immediately from the tongue to the sword to draw the sword, in the border pass to kill people, see the blood of the Xuanjia army will put these Luoyang embroidered pillows in the eyes, seeing a fight in front of him, Cao Cao suddenly said: "Xiao Lang martial arts are superb, the sword worn on the waist is a divine blade, I don't know if you can tell, when is this sword the most powerful?" ”

Cao Cao's words, the other soldiers in the team also heard it, everyone was on horseback by swords to eat, for weapons than their own wives are more familiar with weapons, after all, the wife is not held in his arms every day, and the blade is not left for a moment, one by one suddenly thought, "When is the sword the most powerful?" …… When struggling forward? When condescending to chop on horseback? Or when galloping at high speeds? ……”

"Please also ask General Cao for advice?" It's a sword, but it's definitely not a sword, although Xiao Yi vaguely guessed a few points, but he still humbly bowed down to ask for advice, and it is very rare to get the personal teachings of this traitor in troubled times.

"Huh! The swordsman is a weapon of killing, but the unsheathed sword is the most terrible in the world, because you never know when it will be unsheathed! In Cao Cao's words, the deterrent power of weapons is always higher than the lethal power, and this is the highest level of using force!

Just as the role of the army is to defend the country, and the highest state of war is 'the soldier who surrenders without a fight', in the same way, the greatest power of the sword is not to kill, an unsheathed sword can only kill one person at a time, but an unsheathed sword can deter thousands of people, this is deterrence!

Cao Cao's words can be described as well-intentioned! This is using the sword to persuade Xiao Yi not to easily kill indiscriminately, after all, what he wants is a bloodless coup, not a mutiny, once the rebellious soldiers are stained with blood, they will be uncontrollable, it is easy to draw the sword, but it is difficult to collect the sword!

"Xiao Yi has been taught!" Listen to people's persuasion, eat enough, since this adult does not want to see blood, then it is better to use a bloodless method. Touching his arms, Xiao Yi thought about it.

"Edict into the palace, the royal gold medal is here, see the gold medal as if you see Your Majesty, you will not let go!" The gold medal with fine workmanship on one side and the cloud dragon pattern carved on both sides appeared in Xiao Yi's hand, five inches long, three inches wide, and five points thick; It is engraved with eight seals of dragons flying and phoenix dancing: "Although there is no luan, I am here in person!" ”

The gold medal given by Emperor Han Ling, I didn't expect it to finally come in handy today.

"Hooray! Banzai! Hooray! The forbidden army guarding the door hurriedly knelt down and saluted, long live the mountain, no one's life is blown by the wind, knowing that they can't stop this tiger and wolf army, just doing their duty as a guard, and now there is a step down, and if they don't know how to advance or retreat, they are looking for death.

So, not a drop of blood was shed, and the team went straight into the forbidden palace, although there were such and such reasons, but from the moment the war horse stepped into the gate of the palace, the imperial power of the Eastern Han Dynasty had inevitably declined......

Troubled times have finally begun!
