71. Incident

He Jin did not agree to Yuan Shao's request to completely eradicate the eunuchs, naturally he had his own plans, he was originally born in the Tu family, and his family background was at best a small and powerful family in Nanyang. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info

In the early days, his sister's life in the palace was not easy, but thanks to the way of these favored eunuchs, she was able to keep the status of the queen by virtue of her son, and finally created a good situation in which her cousin He family was in charge of the government and assisted the young lord.

From a personal point of view, He Jin and the eunuchs used to have a close intersection, but it was only because there was no room for two tigers in the court that they had to be forced to turn against the eunuchs due to the situation.

You must know that the relatives of the Han family often died at the hands of these eunuchs who lived in the palace province, whether it was Liang Ji, the "general of Bahu", or Dou Wu, one of the "three gentlemen" of scholars, all died tragically in the hands of these eunuchs, even He Jin was almost folded in the hands of Xiaohuangmen Jian Shuo at first, so in order to protect his power and status in the court, He Jin had to unite with the party and move on to the eunuchs with a solid foundation and a faint threat to his power.

Now that the eunuchs have been cleared out of the palace, and without the monstrous power that isolated China and foreign countries in the past, He Jin has no intention of killing them all, and instead turns his attention to the party faction whose strength is constantly expanding with his own help, and he is not willing to avenge the party members who were persecuted by the eunuchs in the disaster of the party, and attack these eunuchs who are no longer a threat.

For this reason, Yuan Shao had to make his own decisions and use the strength of his party members to draw salaries from the bottom of the cauldron for these eunuchs who had lost power, and launched a third wave of offensive. He began to notify the state and county officials in official documents, under the pretext of He Jin, to arrest the relatives of the eunuchs in various places, to cut off the hope of these eunuchs to enter the country from the local level, and also to force He Jin to stop his intention to stand idly by.

And this trick really hurt the eunuchs, and also stimulated the long-suppressed ferocity of the desperate eunuchs. When Zhang Rang, Zhao Zhong and other eunuchs learned that He Jin had lured them into going to their respective countries, and at the same time issued official documents in private, ordering local prefectures and counties to fabricate charges and arrest their relatives, they were all furious and began to gather together, ready to launch a blow to the relatives led by He Jin.

Zhang Rang first took advantage of the fact that his daughter-in-law was the sister of the Empress Dowager He, and passed the message to the mother of the Empress Dowager He through his daughter-in-law, Wu Yangjun, and then the Empress Dowager He sent the message to the Empress Dowager He.

"If the old minister is offended, he should go to his private door with the bride. Only by the grace of the world, now when away from the palace, feelings and love, willing to return to the straight, have to temporarily serve the Queen Mother's Majesty color, and then retreat to the ravine, death does not hate! ”

Empress Dowager He originally had personal feelings for these eunuchs, and did not agree to He Jin's request to depose the eunuchs, as for the pressure of foreign soldiers approaching the Beijing Division, she had to let these old people return home, and planned to recruit them back to the palace after the limelight, and now seeing that they were about to be driven away from the Beijing Division, her heart was soft, and she actually sent these eunuchs who had just been deposed out of the palace to re-enter the palace, and the eunuchs did not delay this time, and immediately set off to enter the palace, accumulating prestige for a long time, and regained control of the harem in a blink of an eye.

He Jin originally learned that Yuan Shao made his own opinion, pretending to be in his own name to issue official documents to various places, demanding that he fabricate charges and punish the relatives of the eunuchs, so he changed color and wanted to turn his face with Yuan Shao and others, but he didn't expect that suddenly, the eunuchs re-entered the palace, making all his previous efforts in vain, he was anxious and annoyed, and had to put down his face, reconcile with the party led by Yuan Shao, and deal with the resurgence of the eunuch party together.

On August 25, He Jin, who was determined to make a final reckoning with the resurgent eunuchs, entered the palace again to meet the Empress Dowager He, this time he no longer only asked for the removal of the eunuchs in the palace, but went straight to the point, asking for the killing of all the permanent attendants.

The conversation between the brothers and sisters of He Jin was naturally quickly re-taken over the affairs of the harem, and Zhang Rang, Zhao Zhong, Duan Qi and others, who sent people to secretly listen to the news, knew that the eunuchs were mainly anti-guest, and there were many precedents for killing relatives.

Several generations of the Son of Heaven favored the eunuchs, the eunuchs were in charge of the harem for many years, when the number of people in the palace was at its peak, it was claimed that there were thousands of eunuchs serving the palace, among which of course there were many strong people like Jian Shuo who practiced martial arts, and even there was a special team of people selected from among the eunuchs to train the redundant soldiers of the Yellow Gate, usually practicing martial arts, guarding the gate of the palace, and the Son of Heaven rode a horse to attach to the left and right when he traveled, acting as a guard knight.

Zhang Rang and Duan Jue immediately brought dozens of party henchmen with weapons in their hands, ambushed them under the palace gate, and after He came in and out, they tricked him into front of the Jiade Palace, and scolded He Jin to his face for being an ungrateful villain.

"The world is sorrowful, and it is not my own sin. The first emperor tasted unhappy with the queen mother, almost to success or failure, I Cao wept and rescued, each monk made tens of millions of dollars as a gift, and was happy, but I wanted to entrust the Qing to the ear. Now I want to destroy my Cao race, and it is not too great! ”

Nowadays, the world is in turmoil, and the people have pointed to the source of the disaster to the eunuchs and the party that confuse the king, but the eunuchs are unwilling to admit their guilt. As for He Jin's ingratitude and forgetting that when his sister fell out of favor before, the eunuchs hated their He family even more, thinking that this was a naked betrayal.

He Jin was surrounded by a large group of eunuchs with weapons, so he naturally couldn't refute it, but he couldn't pull down his son to beg for mercy with these eunuchs who were kneeling in front of him not long ago.

Seeing that the bloody head was cut off in public, Zhang Rang, Duan Qi and others had already plotted to start an incident, and naturally made complete preparations, now that He Jin was dead, the relatives were not worried, and it was the party led by Yuan Shao who needed to start dealing with them, they immediately drafted an edict, wanting to make the late Taiwei Fan Ling the captain of the school, Shaofu Xu Xiang as Henan Yin, Fan Ling served as Jing Zhaoyin, quite a political achievement, and Xu Xiang is the Xu Shao and Xu Jing brothers who are famous for the "Yuedan Commentary", and they are both from the high gate of the Xu family in Runan. Although these two people are scholars, they have close contacts with the eunuchs, and using them to replace Yuan Shao and Wang Yun can reduce the pressure of public opinion on the government and the opposition to the greatest extent afterwards, and regain the important positions in the city of Luoyang, the capital division that have been taken away by the party in the past few months.

But when Zhang Rang, Duan Qi and others went to the palace Shangshutai to sign the edict, they were questioned by the Shangshu on duty, Zhang Rang and others knew that this time was urgent, and directly threw out the head of He Jin who they brought, and declared to the outside world, "He Jin has rebelled and has been ambushed!" ”

Note: 1. Book of the Later Han Dynasty. Baiguan Zhi III" "In the Yellow Gate, the servants are redundant, and the eunuchs are allowed to do it, and the rank is six hundred stones. The residence is the guard, and the door is guarded; If you go out, you will ride from it, and you will take a car.
