The worship of the hundred officials has been completed, and Yuan Shao entered the palace to collect the Shuo. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć info Jian Shuo panicked and walked into the imperial garden, and was killed by Guo Sheng, the middle servant. The forbidden army led by Jian Shuo was all taken over by Guo Sheng.
Yuan Shao said to He Jinjin: "The middle officials form a party, and they can take advantage of the situation today to kill all of them to prevent future troubles." Zhongchang waiter Zhang let a few people hear the news, and hurriedly cried to the Empress Dowager He: "When the plan was set up to frame the general, there was only Sai Shuo, and he didn't do anything like ministers. Today, the general listened to Yuan Shao's words, and wanted to punish the ministers and others, and begged for mercy! ā
Empress Dowager He said: "Don't panic, I will protect you." "The decree announced that He entered the palace. The Queen Mother said to He Jin: "I come from a humble background with you, how can I enjoy this wealth if I am not Zhang Rang and others?" Now that you are unkind, you have been ambushed, you listen to people's words, and you want to punish the eunuchs? ā
When He Jin heard this, he came out and said to the officials: "Jian Shuo set up a plot to kill me and destroy his entire clan. The rest need not be mutilated. Yuan Shao said: "If you don't cut the grass and eradicate the roots, it will be the source of death." He Jin said firmly: "I have made up my mind, don't say more." The officials had no choice but to retreat.
The next day, the Empress Dowager ordered He Jin to participate in the Shangshu affair, and the rest were given official positions. Since then, all the affairs of the palace and the court have fallen into the hands of the He family. Empress Dowager Dong was dissatisfied, and secretly announced that Zhang Rang and others entered the palace to discuss: "He Jin's sister, I was the one who promoted him at the beginning. Today, after his son succeeded to the throne of the emperor, the internal and external ministers have become her henchmen. Too much authority, what will happen to me? ā
Zhang Rang said: "Niangniang can come to the court and listen to the government." The crown prince association is the king, the uncle of the country is a major official, grasps military power, reuses ministers, etc., and great things can be done. "Empress Dowager Dong was overjoyed. The next day, the court was established, and the Empress Dowager Dong issued a decree to seal the prince association as the king of Chen Liu, Dong Zhong as the hussar general, and Zhang Rang and others participated in the government.
Seeing that Empress Dowager Dong intended to be autocratic, Empress Dowager He thought about it for a long time, so she set up a banquet in the palace and invited Empress Dowager Dong to the banquet. When the wine was half-drunk, the Empress Dowager He got up and held a glass and bowed again: "We are all women, and it is not appropriate to participate in the government." Because of his great power, thousands of clans were killed. Now we should be in the ninth place. In the major affairs of the imperial court, the ministers and elders discuss on their own, which is the luck of the country. I hope you'll listen. ā
Empress Dowager Dong said angrily: "You killed Wang Meiren at the beginning, and you haven't settled the account yet. Today is just relying on your son as the king, and the brother He Jin. If you dare to talk nonsense, I will let the hussars kill your brother, it will be as easy as a finger! ā
Empress Dowager He replied: "I have good words to persuade me, how can I talk back?" ā
Empress Dowager Dong said: "Your junior Tugu junior, what knowledge do you have!" ā
The two palaces argued with each other, and Zhang Rang and others persuaded each to return to the palace. Empress Dowager He was angry in her heart, and summoned He into the palace overnight to tell her what had just happened.
He Jin was furious and called three public councils. Arrange for the minister to play: "Empress Dowager Dong was originally a concubine and is not suitable to live in the palace for a long time, so she should be moved back to the river to settle down, and she should be allowed to leave the palace on the same day." He Jin sent people to send Dong Da away, and on the other hand, he personally ordered the forbidden army, surrounded the mansion of the hussar general Dong Chong, and pursued the seal.
Dong Zhong knew that the matter was urgent, so he had to kill himself in the back hall. He Jin then scattered and left. Zhang Rang and Duan Qi, who were often attendants, saw that Empress Dowager Dong had been abolished, and they were terrified, so they had to use gold and jade to marry He Jin's younger brother He Miao and his mother Wuyangjun, and asked them to often speak well to Empress Dowager He.
After Empress Dowager Dong was sent away, He Jin did not let go, and secretly sent someone to kill Empress Dong in the Hejian Yiting.
One day, Yuan Shao, the captain of Sili, came to see He Jin and said: "Zhang Rang, Duan Qi and others are spreading rumors outside, saying that the general killed the Empress Dowager Dong and wanted to plot something big. If you don't kill the eunuchs at this time, it will be a big disaster in the future. In the past, Dou Wu wanted to kill Neizhu, but his plot was not secret, but he suffered from it. Now the generals and brothers are all handsome people. As long as you want to do it, you are in control. This is providential and should not be missed. ā
He Jin glanced at Yuan Shao and said, "Let me discuss." He Jin secretly reported to Zhang Rang left and right. Zhang Rang was shocked and urgently begged He Miao. He Miao Anwei Zhang let go, and played the Empress Dowager He and said: "The general assists the new monarch, does not practice benevolent government, and specializes in killing." Now I want to kill the ten permanent servants for no reason, this is the way to make trouble. ā
He Dahou listened to his words, and beckoned He Jin into the palace and said: "The central official commands the forbidden province, and the Han family regulates it." The first emperor abandoned the world, and you want to kill the old ministers, which is disrespectful to the ancestors! He Jin was originally an indecisive person, but after listening to the Queen Mother's words, he had to agree.
Yuan Shao saw that He Jin's face was not good, and asked tentatively, "What's going on?" ā
He Jin sighed and said, "I don't know who reached the ears of the Queen Mother about this matter. Just now, the Queen Mother summoned me in to give a lecture, and she was not allowed to kill the eunuchs. Helpless? ā
Yuan Shaojin said: "In this case, the general can summon the heroes of the Quartet, call the troops to Beijing, and ask for orders to kill the eunuchs." At that time, the Queen Mother was not allowed to disobey. ā
He Jin was overjoyed and said: "This plan is wonderful! So he prepared to send it to the states and secretly summoned the male master to enter Beijing.
Lord Bo Chen Lin hurriedly said: "General, no!" As the saying goes: Hiding your eyes and catching finches is self-deception, and small things cannot be deceived to achieve ambition, let alone national events? Now the general relies on the emperor's prestige, commands the troops, and is in his heart. Killing eunuchs is like a drum and a furnace burning hairs and ears. Quickly thunder, exercise power and make decisions, then heaven and man will obey it. Anti-foreign ministers, summoned heroes to commit crimes in Beijing, heroes gathered, and each had one heart. The so-called rebellion and giving people a handle will not succeed, and it will cause chaos. ā
He Jin smiled: "This coward's opinion! Once the Xiongshi entered Beijing, the Empress Dowager was terrified and agreed to remove the eunuchs. When the time comes, I can withdraw from the army, who dares to disobey? ā
One of the people on the side applauded and laughed and said, "This matter is as easy as a palm, why bother talking about it!" Everyone saw that it was Cao Cao.
Cao Cao said to He Jin: "The calamity of eunuchs has existed in ancient and modern times. Now if you want to punish the crime, find a jailer. Why call in foreign soldiers? With such a big move, the matter will inevitably be exposed. I expected to fail. ā
He Jin said angrily: "Is Meng De selfish? Cao Cao was speechless, and after returning home, he said to his entourage: "If the world is in turmoil, it must be He Jin." ā
Dong Table, who was watching from Hedong, didn't know this. At this time, he was overjoyed with a secret letter from He Jin in his hand, and he was worried that it was He Jin's plan to lure himself into Beijing, but he felt that he could not miss such a good opportunity for a group of heroes to gather. After hesitating for a while, he made up his mind and asked his son-in-law Zhonglang to guard Niu Fu to the east of the river, and he took Li Dao, Guo Yan, Zhang Ji, Fan Chou and others to Luoyang. Walking to the vicinity of Xin'an, Dong Table was worried about fraud and did not leave. sent someone to reconnoiter the truth and sent a letter to He Jin: "Zhongchang servant Zhang Rang and others steal the favor and disturb the world, the minister heard that the soup is boiling and boiling, it is better to draw salary from the bottom of the kettle; Although the carbuncle is painful, it is better than if it has invaded the body. In the past, Zhao Yingxing raised the soldiers of Jinyang to expel the wicked people around the monarch. Now the ministers have gone to Luoyang to arrest Zhang Rang and others to eliminate the evil and filth. ā
He Jin was very happy when he got the table from Dong Table, and showed it to the minister.
Zheng Tai, the servant of the imperial history, persuaded: "Dong Zhuo is a jackal, and if he is introduced into the capital, he will eat people." ā
He Jin laughed and said: "The public is suspicious, and it is not enough to make a big deal." ā
Lu Zhi also persuaded: "Zhi Su knows that Dong Zhuo is a person, and he is kind and ruthless; When you enter the forbidden court, you will bring disaster. It is better to stop him and let him not come, so as not to cause chaos. He Jin didn't listen and sent someone to greet Dong Zhuo. Zheng Tai and Lu Zhi saw that He Jin insisted on going his own way and abandoned the official and returned home.
When Zhang Rang and the others heard that He Jin recruited foreign soldiers to enter Beijing, they panicked. Discussed: "This must be He Jin's conspiracy, vainly trying to kill us." We must strike first, or we will have to wait for the extermination. So he secretly ambushed dozens of sword and axe men in the Jiade Gate of Changle Palace, and then went to the Queen Mother and said: "The general Jiao Zhao summoned foreign soldiers into Beijing to kill us, please have mercy on the mother." ā
Empress Dowager He was surprised: "There is such a thing? You can go to the General's Mansion and confess your mistakes, and I will guarantee you. ā
Zhang Rang and others cried: "Niangniang! If we go to the General's Mansion, we will be crushed without the General's hands. Please invite the general to come in and intercede with him in person. Otherwise, the ministers are willing to die in front of the mother. ā
Seeing that Zhang Rang said so miserably, Empress Dowager He nodded in agreement.
He Jin received the edict of the Queen Mother and got up and entered the palace. Chen Lin, the chief bookkeeper, persuaded: "The Empress Dowager's edict must be the exposure of the general's plan to recruit foreign troops, and it is a conspiracy of the ten permanent servants." The great general must not go, for if he goes, he will bring disaster. ā
He Jin smiled and said: "The Queen Mother recruited me, what's the trouble?" ā
Cao Cao said: "It's better to recruit the ten permanent servants to come out first, and then the general will go in." ā
He Jin said with a smile: "In this child's opinion, I am in charge of the world, what can the ten permanent servants do to me?" ā
Yuan Shao said: "It's better for me to take the armor soldiers with you to protect you, just in case." ā
He Jin is allowed. Yuan Shao and Cao Cao each brought 500 armor soldiers into Qingzuomen, and handed over the soldiers to Yuan Shu, the general of Huben Zhonglang. The two of them took swords to escort He Jin to the front of Changle Palace. The little yellow door in front of the Queen Mother said: "The Queen Mother is a general, and others are not allowed to trespass." "Block Yuan Shao and Cao Cao from the door.
He Jin laughed and said: "Ben Chu and Meng De don't have to worry too much, who dares to touch me?" "Say goodbye and go in.
As soon as they arrived at Jiade Gate, Zhang Rang and Duan Jue greeted them and surrounded them left and right. He Jin was shocked, and Zhang Rang reprimanded sharply: "What crime does Empress Dowager Dong have that needs to be killed by her?" The funeral of the mother of the country, you can't support it. You are a junior in Tugu. It was we who recommended it to the Son of Heaven, got rich and rich, didn't want to repay the reward, and wanted to murder. You say that we are filthy, but who is the one who is pure? ā
