Two days later, Liu Yi went to Luoyang with 10,000 elite soldiers, accompanied by Guan Yu and Xi Zhicai, and Cheng Yu, Yao Lie, and Zhang Fei were responsible for guarding the rear.

In order to protect the safety of Liu Yi and his party, Yao Lie temporarily handed over the military power of his two thousand poisonous scorpions to Liu Yi.

Just as Liu Yi and the others were leaving, a major event happened to occur in Luoyang City.

After learning that Dong Zhuo was already on the way to and from Luoyang, Empress Dowager He became scared and regretted agreeing to He Jin to summon Dong Zhuo now.

So Empress Dowager He sent her subordinates to advise the doctor to dissuade Dong Zhuo, but at this time, Dong Zhuo had already coveted Luoyang, how could he be dissuaded by a small counselor. Dong Zhuo followed Jia Xu's suggestion, and continued to march towards Luoyang while pleading to the imperial court.

Under the pressure of Dong Zhuo's army, Empress Dowager He dismissed most of the Xiaohuangmen according to the requirements of He Jin and others, leaving only a few eunuchs who were close to her on weekdays.

Zhang Rang, Zhao Zhong and other ten permanent servants happened to be in this wave of dismissal.

Zhang Rang and other eunuchs who were dismissed were afraid that they would be brutalized by He Jin and others, so just after being kicked out of the palace, they came to He Jin's house to beg for mercy.

"General, we have been dismissed by the Queen Mother now, and I beg General He to forgive me for my life! As long as General He can give me a way to live, I am willing to honor the general with all the income of these years! ”

At this time, in the courtyard of He Mansion, dozens of eunuchs who had been dismissed knelt in the courtyard, crying and begging He Jin for mercy.

Looking at the eunuch kneeling on the ground in front of him, He Jin felt a little happy and a little uneasy in his heart. Because he was not sure at this time, after the fall of the eunuch group and the party and government of the scholars, he would still be as powerful as he is now.

"The world is disturbing, and it is the kings who are harming! Now that Dong Zhuo and Liu Yi are coming soon, you can leave your belongings and get out of here! Looking at the eunuchs in front of him, He Jin waved his big hand in disgust.

After speaking, He Jin turned around and walked towards his room, and the eunuchs who were kneeling on the ground behind him heard the words, and hurriedly kowtowed a few times in the direction of He Jin's walk, and then got up and walked outside the house.

When He Jin walked into the house, he saw that in the house, Yuan Shao, Cao Cao, and He Jin's subordinates Wu Kuang, Zhang Zhang and others had been waiting in the house for a long time.

Seeing He Jin enter the house, Yuan Shao, who was the leader of several people, hurriedly ran up and persuaded, "General, now those eunuchs and thieves are in the General's Mansion, why not take this opportunity to wipe them out?" ”

As soon as Yuan Shao's words fell, Cao Cao on the side also stepped forward and echoed, "General, what Brother Ben said is reasonable!" The so-called cutting grass must be eradicated, if you don't kill these eunuchs at this time, he will be a disaster one day! ”

"What can be the calamity of a group of eunuchs? Meng De, Ben Chu, you two are too worried! He Jin smiled disappreciatively.

"The general's words are wrong, when Emperor Ling was in power, if it weren't for these" Yuan Shao didn't finish speaking, only to see He Jin turn around and say angrily, "I have made up my mind, don't say anything more!" ”

"General" Yuan Shao wanted to persuade again, but was stopped by Cao Cao on the side.

"Humph!" Yuan Shao, who was blocked from coming first, snorted coldly, and then flicked his sleeves and walked out of He Jin's room.

Cao Cao, who was on the side, saw Yuan Shao leaving, respectfully bowed to He Jin, and then hurriedly chased him out.

At this time, in the courtyard, Zhang Rang, Zhao Zhong and other eunuchs who were begging just now had already run away.

When Cao Cao walked to the courtyard, he saw that Yuan Shao had already walked to the gate of the mansion and turned over his horse, and was about to leave.

"Wait a minute!" Cao Cao raised his hand and snored.

Hearing the voice behind him, Yuan Shao looked back and saw that it was Cao Cao, so he stopped at Lerma.

I saw that Cao Cao had just walked to the door, and Yuan Shao shouted with an angry face, "This is a godsend, the general is unexpectedly"

Before he finished speaking, Cao Cao hurriedly glanced at Yuan Shao.

Seeing Cao Cao's eyes, Yuan Shao frowned and looked at the guards in front of the He Mansion, and then realized that he had lost his words just now, so he quickly shut up.

Then Cao Cao also got on the horse, and the two of them rode their horses and began to walk towards Yuan Shao's mansion.

Nothing to say all the way.

As soon as the two entered Yuan's mansion, Yuan Shao hurriedly walked to the study in the mansion with Cao Cao.

As soon as the door of the study was closed, Yuan Shao started the topic just now.

"Mengde! What do you think our general thinks? Such a good opportunity, he actually let those eunuchs go! The more Yuan Shao spoke, the more angry he felt.

Seeing Yuan Shao's angry appearance, Cao Cao stepped forward and comforted, "The general didn't kill those eunuchs, there must be a reason we don't know, for today's plan, we can only find another way!" ”

Cao Cao, who has always been sensitive to politics and it, has also noticed the little Jiujiu in He Jin's heart at this time.

Seeing that Cao Cao said that he wanted to find another way, Yuan Shao hurriedly asked, "Where did he come from?" ”

I saw Cao Cao sneer, and then told Yuan Shao what he had in mind.

In the afternoon of the same day, Yuan Shao falsely passed on He Jin's will and ordered all prefectures and counties to arrest the dismissed eunuchs and their families.

When He Jin knew about this matter, it was already too late, and because of the identities of Yuan and Cao, in desperation, He Jin could only make mistakes and follow the suggestions of Yuan Shao and Cao Cao.

As soon as they heard that they and their families had been wanted by He Jin, Zhang Rang and the others became frightened in their hearts, knowing that He Jin and the others were going to attack them.

Although Zhang Rang is a eunuch, but because of his prominent status, how many people want to slap him, and the one who is most loved by Zhang Rang is regarded by Zhang Rang as a righteous son and stays by his side.

Zhang Rang's righteous son not only prospered in the court because of Zhang Rang's relationship, but also married the sister of the Empress Dowager He as his wife.

At this time, He Jin wanted to arrest Zhang Rang and others, and Zhang Rang, who had no choice, could only run to his daughter-in-law for help.

"The old minister is offended, it stands to reason that the old minister should no longer contact his wife at this time, but he just thinks that the old minister is tired of the holy grace, and now he wants to stay away from the palace, and he is in love, please enter the palace again, and he can temporarily visit the queen mother and the emperor, and then go back, and there is no regret in his death." Zhang Rang knelt in front of his daughter-in-law and cried and begged.

Seeing his nominal husband kneeling on the ground with tears in his eyes and begging for himself, Zhang Rang's daughter-in-law had no choice but to agree to Zhang Rang's request.

Zhang Rang's daughter-in-law told Empress Dowager He's mother Wuyangjun about this, and finally, with the help of Wuyangjun, Zhang Rang and others were finally summoned into the palace by Empress Dowager He.

Hearing that Zhang Rang and others had regained their former status, Yuan Shao and Cao Cao were so angry that they privately scolded He Jin's ancestors for the eighteenth generation.

The next day, Cao Cao and Yuan Shao entered He Jin's general's mansion to lobby He Jin.

"General, now that the young emperor is young, the queen mother is in the court to listen to the government, although everything has been discussed by the general, but because of the previous Dong Zhuo's entry into Beijing, the queen mother has been with the general, and now Zhang Rang and others have returned to the palace to serve the queen mother, if you tolerate those eunuchs to bewitch the queen mother, I am afraid that the brother and sister relationship between the general and the queen mother will fade day by day, and it is unknown whether the general's current status can be maintained!" Cao Cao persuaded He Jindao bitterly.

Hearing Cao Cao's words, He Jin also felt a little unable to hold his sister's thoughts.

Although He Jin and Empress Dowager He are brother and sister, but before He Jin forced Empress Dowager He to dismiss the eunuchs with Dong Zhuo entering Beijing, it has made Empress Dowager He displeased, and now that Zhang Rang and others have returned to Empress Dowager He, it is inevitable that they will not do anything to sow discord.

"You two will follow me into the palace immediately, and I will personally explain this matter to the Queen Mother!" He Jin said urgently.

Seeing that things had reached the point where they were now, He Jin was still thinking about discussing with Empress Dowager He, and Yuan Shao was a little impatient.

"General, it's all this time, can't you just be arbitrary? With your identity and status, what's the harm in leading troops into the palace to kill a few eunuchs? The Queen Mother is your sister, at most she complains to you, this matter is related to the country's social affairs, so don't hesitate anymore! ”

Originally, Yuan Shao said goodbye yesterday, and He Jin was a little unhappy in his heart, but now seeing Yuan Shao's words again, He Jin suddenly broke out.

"Do you want me to rebel?" He Jin stared at Yuan Shao and scolded.

Yuan Shao saw that He Jin was angry, and after admitting a few mistakes, he stood aside and didn't dare to squeak anymore.

Subsequently, He Jin took Cao Cao, Yuan Shao and others into the palace to ask to see the Empress Dowager He.

As soon as He Jin entered the palace on the front foot, Zhang Rang and others received the news.

Zhang Rang and others, who were favored again, knew that only the Empress Dowager He was not good at all, so everyone bribed Empress Dowager He's biological mother Wuyangjun while currying favor with Empress Dowager He.

Knowing that He had entered the palace, Zhang Rang, Zhao Zhong and others, who were in the palace of Wuyang Jun, hurriedly gathered together to discuss.

"He entered this house, when the first emperor died before, he didn't enter the palace under the pretext of illness, and he didn't send him to the funeral, but he came to the palace at this time, I'm afraid he wants to attack me!" Zhao Zhong said to everyone with a worried face.

The so-called ten permanent servants do not refer to ten permanent attendants, the word "ten" is just a number of words, and the real ten permanent attendants are twelve people.

These twelve people are Zhang Rang, Zhao Zhong, Xia Yun, Guo Sheng, Sun Zhang, Bi Lan, Li Song, Duan, Gao Wang, Zhang Gong, Han Kui, and Song Dian. Among them, Zhang Rang and Zhao Zhong are the leaders.

Zhang Rang and the others agreed with Zhao Zhong's statement very much, so they began to plan how to avoid this murder.

"Although we are now favored by the Queen Mother, but the Queen Mother and He Jin are brother and sister after all, although we have the protection of the Queen Mother now, we can't stand He Jin's instigation again and again, He Jin doesn't get rid of it, I will be killed by him sooner or later!" Zhang Rang said with a murderous face.

"That's what my brother said! In order to avoid long nights and dreams, I suggest we do it today! Duan on the side also made a head-killing gesture as he spoke.

He Jin is here.

After arriving at Empress Dowager He's harem, He Jin once again asked his sister to kill Zhang Rang and other eunuchs, but at this time, Empress Dowager He had already received a lot of benefits from Zhang Rang and others, so she sternly rejected He Jin's request.

He Jin's persuasion was fruitless, so he could only leave the Empress Dowager He's dormitory in a gloomy manner.

At this time, Cao Cao and Yuan Shao were already waiting outside the palace.

Seeing He entering and leaving the palace, Cao Cao and the others hurriedly stepped forward.

"General, the Queen Mother agreed?" Cao Cao asked anxiously.

He Jin shook his head and didn't speak, and everyone sighed when they saw this.

Just as He Jin and the others were about to return to the mansion, a little eunuch suddenly ran to the side.

"General, please stay! Reido-sama, please! The little eunuch respectfully reported it.

The eunuch's mother in He Jin's mouth was Empress Dowager He's biological mother, Wuyangjun.

Although Wuyangjun is the biological mother of Empress Dowager He, she is just an ordinary royal relative, and has no special honorific title.

"General, the one in the harem has never been close to the general, why did he specially invite the general into the palace today? I think there's something strange about this! Cao Cao came to He Jin's side and whispered.

Although He Jin and Empress Dowager He are brother and sister, but they are not siblings of the same mother, after the death of He Jin's biological mother, his father He Zhen continued to marry Wuyang Jun, why did Wuyang Jun really give birth to a son and two daughters, and his son He Miao is now also an official in the court, Empress Dowager He is the eldest daughter of Wuyang Jun, and the younger daughter married Zhang Rang's righteous son as a daughter-in-law.

He Jin has not been treated by this stepmother since he was a child, and after entering the palace, the two rarely intersected.

At this time, hearing that Cao Cao said that there was something strange about Wuyang Jun summoning him, He Jin couldn't help but hesitate

Rise up.

Seeing that He Jin had been hesitating, the little eunuch who reported the news stepped forward again with a turn of his eyes.

"General, Ling Tang said that he had always dreamed of Lord Ling Zun recently, and said that Lord Ling Zun had something important in his dream to entrust Ling Tang to tell the general, so Lord Ling Tang sent a villain to invite the general today!"

Cao Cao looked at the little eunuch with a thief's eyebrows, knowing that he was deceiving He Jin, but before He Jin could talk, Cao Cao sneered, "What nonsense!" If there is such a thing, why not give the general a dream, but instead seek the near and far? ”

The little eunuch was speechless by Cao Cao, so he could only bow his head and wait for He Jin's decision.

Originally, He Jin was ready to refuse the invitation. But as soon as I heard that my father had given me a dream for my stepmother, I suddenly began to want to hear it again.

"Mengde, don't be embarrassed for him!" After speaking, I saw He Jin raise his head and say to the little eunuch beside him with his back hand, "Lead the way ahead!" ”

Seeing that He Jin kept dissuading, Cao Cao turned around and said to Yuan Shao urgently, "Originally, I think the general's trip will be dangerous, you go with the general first, and I will go to Brother Zhong Jian now!" ”

The Zhong Jian brother in Cao Cao's mouth is Chun Yuqiong, who is also the eighth lieutenant of Xiyuan and He Jin's staff.

After Cao Cao left, Yuan Shao walked with He Jin to the other side of the palace.

Walking to a side gate of the palace, the little eunuch made a "please" gesture and invited He Jin to the palace, Yuan Shao and several guards also wanted to go in, but they were stopped by the little eunuch.

"Lord Yuan, please stay! The palace is important, and Lord Yuan can't enter privately without being summoned! The little eunuch respectfully stretched out his hand to stop Yuan Shaodao.

Yuan Shao was just about to open his mouth to defend himself, He Jin turned around and comforted Yuan Shao with a confident face, "At the beginning, you waited outside the door, I will come when I go!" ”

"Yes!" In desperation, Yuan Shao could only obey his fate.

After entering the palace, He Jin, under the leadership of the little eunuch, walked all the way in, walked for about ten minutes, and several people came to the front of the Jiade Hall in a remote corner of the palace.

Looking at the plaque in the Jiade Palace, He Jin frowned and stopped on the spot.

"Where are you taking me?"

Hearing He Jin's words, the little eunuch who led the way in front turned around leisurely, and sneered with disdain, "Of course I'm going to see Lingtang!" Why didn't the general leave? ”

Seeing that the little eunuch's expression was different, He Jin secretly screamed that it was not good, and reached out to touch the saber on his waist, and when he touched it, He Jin suddenly sweated down.

When he entered the palace just now, He Jin's saber was lowered at the door, and his waist was empty at this time.

Seeing this, He Jin didn't dare to stay longer, turned around and wanted to run outside the palace, but before He Jin could lift his feet, he heard the sound of opening the door in the Jiade Hall behind him.

He Jin turned his head in a hurry, only to see a few eunuchs holding steel knives rushing out of the Jiade Palace.

"Thief, it's you!" He Jin pointed to the eunuch led by him and scolded.

The few eunuchs I saw were the ten permanent servants headed by Zhang Rang and Zhao Zhong, and they pretended to pass on the edict of Wuyang Jun in order to deceive He Jin here.

"If I had known this, I should have killed all of you eunuchs in the house that day!" He Jin pointed at Zhang Rang and the others and scolded through gritted teeth.

As soon as the words fell, I saw that Zhang Rang, who was the leader, was not angry but laughed, stepped forward, pointed at He Jin with the steel knife in his hand and said, "That day, you humiliated us in the house to the fullest, and said that the chaos in the world was the sin of my generation. Do you know that at that time, the first emperor almost abolished the queen mother because of the discord between Wang Meiren and the queen mother, and it was we who cried and rescued, and everyone took out tens of millions of family wealth as gifts, so as to reconcile the meaning of the first emperor, and we just want to rely on your He family's portal. And you're going to kill our race now? ”

The more Zhang Rang spoke, the more excited he became, and in the end, the hand holding the steel knife was a little trembling.

"An unkind and unrighteous person like you should be killed!"

After speaking, Zhang Rang and the others raised the steel knife in their hands and rushed forward.

Outside the palace, Yuan Shao was standing in the shade waiting for He Jin.

Seeing that He Jin had not moved in the palace for most of the day, Yuan Shao felt a little uneasy in his heart.

Just when Yuan Shao didn't know what to do, he saw Cao Cao, Chun Yuqiong and others running over with hundreds of armor soldiers. Seeing this, Yuan Shao hurriedly greeted him.

I saw Yuan Shao coming. Cao Cao was stunned on the spot.

"Primordial? Why didn't you enter the palace with the general? Cao Cao, who reacted, shouted.

Hearing Cao Cao's questioning, Yuan Shao informed everyone about He Jin's entry into the palace alone. After Cao Cao listened to Yuan Shao's narration, he jumped up in anger.

"Why were you so confused?"

After scolding Yuan Shao, Cao Cao hurriedly ran to the palace gate and slammed the palace gate hard.

"Cao Cao, the captain of the military academy, asks to see General He!" Cao Cao slammed the palace door hard and shouted loudly inside.

Seeing this, Yuan Shao, Chun Yuqiong and his entourage also hurriedly stepped forward and shouted, "I'm waiting to see General He!" ”

You must know that the gates in the palace are only stronger than the gates of ordinary cities.

Cao Cao and the others stood in front of the palace gate and shouted for nearly seven or eight minutes, only to see an object suddenly thrown out of the palace.

When Cao Cao and the others saw what they threw out, everyone was shocked.

This thing is nothing else, it is He Jin's head!

After seeing He Jin's head, he could only hear the sound of the "Cangchangchang" treasure knife coming out of the sheath from the crowd outside the palace.

Before Yuan Shao and the others could make a move, they heard a eunuch's shout coming from inside the palace wall.

"He Jin rebelled! Already executed! ”
