Volume 2 The Yellow Turban Rebellion Chapter 75 He Jin died
"Ah Zhong, can you arrange it properly?" In Zhang Rang's mansion, Zhao Zhong knelt in front of Zhang Rang and plotted with Zhang Rang to murder He Jin.
"Chang Shi rest assured, the Queen Mother has promised to summon He Jin tomorrow!"
"The Queen Mother is not suspicious?" Zhang Rang looked a little worried.
"Never!" Zhao Zhong said with a confident face: "The two of the He family are just men and women in the mountains, what are their plans?" Besides, we also have the help of Empress Dowager Dong, and this time we will definitely succeed in killing He Jin! ”
"That's it!" Hearing Zhao Zhong say this, Zhang Rang was still not at ease. The main reason is that a few days ago, it was impossible to find out who sent the secret letter, which made Zhang Rang frightened. Although Zhang Rang and others were seized a lot of power by their relatives He Clan, even if they were in Luoyang City, Zhang Rang was conceited that no force could escape the detection of his eagle dogs.
But even so, someone still sent a secret letter quietly, and it was such a confidential matter, a matter related to the life and death of the entire official eunuch group, how could Zhang Rang not be surprised? However, He Jin threatened the moment, and Zhang Rang had to deal with He Jin and then try to dig out the people behind the scenes. Now the contradiction between the eunuch Zhang Rang and others and his relative He Jin is becoming more and more obvious, and Zhang Rang is becoming more and more anxious.
The next day, He Jinfeng sent an edict to see Empress Dowager He.
"The Queen Mother is the general's sister, what does the general mean by bringing troops into the palace to meet the Queen Mother?" Yuan Shao stopped He Jin and said solemnly.
When He Jin heard this, his face changed slightly, and he turned to Yuan Shao and said, "I didn't know that the eunuch was powerful in the palace?" ”
"This time I entered the palace, I already felt a little strange, if I didn't bring my armor into the palace, what if Zhang Rang and others wanted to murder me?"
"The general is worried!" Yuan Shaozuo stood up and said with great sincerity: "The general will take charge of the government in the future and assist His Majesty, if the general enters the harem, he still has to carry armor, so how do the families in the world view the general?" ”
"Besides, the entire Luoyang military power is in the hands of the general, and there are also Shi A and other martial arts masters next to the general, who in the palace can help the general?" Yuan Shao pointed to Shi Ah Dao beside He Jin: "Please also ask the general Mingjian, don't chill the hearts of the children of the world's families!" ”
After He Jin heard this, he lowered his head and thought for a moment, feeling that what Yuan Shao said was also very reasonable. Besides, Empress Dowager He is her own sister, even if she is a little close to Zhang Rang and others in the harem every day, she will definitely not agree with Zhang Rang and others to murder her life. Thinking of this, He Jinjin lowered the long sword at his waist and handed it into the hands of his personal guard and said to Yuan Shao: "Even so, it is better to entrust it, the sword is not brought for the time being, and the armor is still better to wear!" ”
"That's fine!" Yuan Shao saw that He Jin still insisted, and it was not good to dissuade him more, lest He Jin become suspicious, so he said again: "Don't worry, general, we will be waiting outside the palace at any time." If Zhang Rang and the others have different intentions, Shao Ding will lead the troops into the palace to protect the general! ”
"It's hard work!" He Jin nodded, and only let Shi A enter the palace with him. Yuan Shao looked at He Jin's back as he gradually moved away, sneered in his heart, and secretly begged: Zhang Rang, Zhao Zhong, don't let me down!
Under the leadership of the Yellow Gate in the palace, He Jin and the others walked through several corridors, and finally came to the Yongle Hall where the Empress Dowager He was.
"Enter the edict to see the Queen Mother!"
"There are no outsiders, my brother just comes in!" The lazy sound of Empress Dowager He came from the Changle Palace, and the bones of those who listened were soft. Even He Jin, who is his own brother, shook his head with a wry smile. He Jin turned to Shi Ah and said, "You will wait outside the palace!" ”
"No!" Shi A received the order, turned his back to the Changle Palace, straightened his waist, and looked around vigilantly. He Jin nodded with satisfaction, turned around and walked towards the Changle Palace.
"Squeak...", He Jin pushed open the door of the Changle Palace, and the empty hall was in sight, and the Empress Dowager He didn't seem to be afraid of the cold, and her clothes were slightly revealing and lying on the wooden couch above the main hall. He Jin is also used to seeing it, his demeanor has not changed much, and he walked straight to the bed of the Empress Dowager He and bowed: "Come in to see the Empress Dowager!" ”
"What has my brother done like this, there is no outsider in the temple!" Seeing this, Empress Dowager He was slightly dissatisfied and prepared to get up and help He Jin.
"Kill!" Before the Empress Dowager He got up, there was a loud shout all around, and more than a dozen people rushed out from the screen behind the roof beam in the hall and the wooden couch of the Empress Dowager He, all of whom were superb in martial arts, and immediately attacked Dao He Jin's side.
"Huh!?" He Jin was stunned in his heart, and his face changed even more, his own sister wanted to kill him? However, the sudden attack of the sword blade made He Jin unable to think about this matter for the time being, and he bowed forward, and shouted loudly: "Shi'a, quickly help!" ”
Shi Ah outside the door had already discovered that something was wrong when the killer came out with a murderous aura, and before He Jin could shout for help, he pulled out the soft sword on his waist and rushed towards the Changle Palace.
"Zheng !!" As soon as they arrived at the gate of Changle Palace, they rushed out with a sword and slashed out, blocking Shi A's way. "Kill!" Seeing this, Shi A, who was anxious to rescue He Jin, shouted loudly, raised his soft sword, and fought with the two of them in an instant.
"Kill!" The sound of killing started again, and He Jin finally saw the person in front of him.
"Zhang Rang, are you trying to rebel against the important ministers of the court in the harem?" He Jin was unarmed, so he had to dodge Zhang Rang's tricky swordsmanship in a panic, shouting in his mouth.
"Humph! Don't worry about rebelling or not, you still worry about whether you can get out of Changle Hall alive today! Zhang Rang's voice was extremely gloomy, and it was already very obvious in his words that he was going to cut off He Jin's head today.
"Zhang Changshi!" Empress Dowager He was at a loss at this time, and shouted at Zhang Rang: "Why do you want to make a move on my brother in this palace, didn't you promise to reconcile with my brother?" ”
"Haha!" Zhang Rang laughed loudly and shouted, "Reconciliation? In this case, I have to ask the queen mother's brother how to reconcile! ”
After Zhang Rang finished yelling, he no longer seemed willing to talk to He Jin's brothers and sisters, and continued to rush towards He Jin with a sword in one hand. "Whew..."Zhang Rang's speed was extremely fast, and in the blink of an eye, he skipped by He Jin's side, and the long sword in his hand never stopped, directly slashing across He Jin's waist. He Jin forcibly turned around and couldn't dodge, but he was still slashed through the abdomen by Zhang Rang's sword.
"Eunuch Zhang Rang, are you so afraid that the world's families will attack?" He Jin covered his trickling abdomen with one hand, and shouted at Zhang Rang in pain.
"As long as we get rid of this husband, we will be able to hold great power around Your Majesty, and we are still afraid of the world's families?" Zhang Rang stopped his rapid figure and walked slowly towards He Jin, who fell to the ground, and said with a fierce face: "The palace is already dangerous, but you are just a butcher, trying in vain to take advantage of the queen mother's favor to participate in the battle in the palace, holding power, I really don't know where you got the courage to wait!" ”
When Empress Dowager He saw her brother to the end, she was bleeding nonstop, and she was already crying. Seeing that He Jin was in danger, Empress Dowager He stepped forward, pounced on He Jin, turned her head and pleaded pitifully with Zhang Rang: "For the sake of the kindness with Zhang Changshou in the past in this palace, please let Zhang Changshou let go of the brother in this palace?" The two brothers and sisters of this palace will definitely not oppose Zhang Changzhi in the future! ”
When Zhang Rang heard this, his face playfully said: "Tut... It was the fault of this to make the Queen Mother cry with such a beautiful face. Zhang Rang said, stepped forward, and provoked the chin of the Empress Dowager He with a long sword. Empress Dowager He turned around and fell on her back on the ground, her face full of humiliation.
"It's a pity, beauty!" He Jin shook his head slowly, looking at the Empress Dowager He who was forced to raise her head with great pity. "Even so, in order for us to survive, He Jin must die today!" Zhang Rang, who had slowly withdrawn the long sword, suddenly changed his face, and when he lifted the Empress Dowager He, he fell back, and stabbed the long sword at He Jin, who was lying on the ground.
"Poof!" The sound of iron tools entering the flesh was extremely striking in the noisy hall at this moment.
He Jin's eyes widened like copper bells, and he looked at Zhang Rang with a sword in one hand with a face full of disbelief. He Jin never expected that he would die so simply and so aggrieved. "Uh... Sheet... Let... I'm in IX. Under the Nine Springs. Inferior... Wait! ”
He Jin clutched his throat, which kept spurting blood, stared at Zhang Rang with resentful eyes, and cursed Zhang Rang unclearly.
"Huh! Even if you wait for this, you are waiting for the puppet to back! Zhang Rang snorted fiercely, and shook the blood stains on the long sword with his hand, and coincidentally threw all of them on Empress Dowager He's face.
"Ah......" Empress Dowager He was slightly stunned at first, and then screamed in horror.
"Noise!" Zhang Rang impatiently mentioned the Empress Dowager He and said: "Please don't panic the Empress Dowager, the Empress Dowager's brother He Jin's Shi A was bribed to assassinate He Jin, and I hope that the Empress Dowager will be calm and not impatient, and we can catch the murderer in a moment!" After that, Zhang Rang stared at the Empress Dowager He viciously, and the killing intent in his eyes was unconcealed.
Empress Dowager He was indeed frightened, for fear that Zhang Rang would slash herself with a sword in anger, and when Zhang Rang finished speaking, Empress Dowager He stood up tremblingly with tears, and said in a trembling voice: "Bother Zhang Changzhi to catch the real murderer and avenge the brother of the palace!" ”
Zhang Rang saw that the Empress Dowager He understood what he meant, and smiled lightly with great satisfaction: "Respect the Empress Dowager's edict!" After that, Zhang Rang turned around and said to the dozen or so people who had trapped Shi A at this moment: "Shi A rebelled, and there is no forgiveness for killing!" ”
"No!" A group of people answered the order loudly, and all of them attacked Shi A.
"Ahh When Shi A heard this, his heart was full of resentment, he shouted loudly, poured out all his life's learning, and stabbed out more than ten swords towards several people around him, forcing back a few people, and before the rest of the people had time to surround and kill, he jumped violently, climbed over the wall outside the Changle Palace, and ran away.
"Immediately order someone to search for it!" Seeing this, Zhang Rang's face was terrifyingly dark, and he ordered several people sharply.
"No!" Seeing this, everyone didn't dare to hesitate, and divided into two groups, one to pursue Shi A, and the other to go to the Praetorian Guard barracks in Weiyang Palace to transfer troops.
At this time, Yuan Shao, who was outside the city, was secretly happy after learning the information. But he pretended to be anxious and said to the guards who came with him: "The eunuch rebelled, and the general was in danger." Immediately order the soldiers and horses of the West Garden, enter the palace quickly, protect the general, and protect Your Majesty! ”
"No!" He Jin's personal guards were even more anxious, and after getting Yuan Shao's order, one person was left to transfer troops, and the remaining dozens of people followed Yuan Shao and rushed into the Weiyang Palace.
