69. Edict

"The central official commands the forbidden province, from ancient times to the present, the story of the Han family cannot be abolished. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE怂 info And the first emperor abandoned the world, I have no choice but to share things with the scholars! ā€

Empress Dowager He's meaning is very clear, Langguan is an official in the palace, the eunuch is an official in the province, and the province is a forbidden place for the emperor, queen, queen mother, and many concubines to live.

In the former Han Dynasty, Wang Mang usurped the throne on behalf of the Han Dynasty and reformed the system on a large scale, so at the beginning of the founding of this dynasty, there was a time when an attendant like Shizhong, who was a close adviser to the emperor, could enter the palace forbidden, but when it came to Emperor Zhang of the Han Dynasty, he changed this system that was originally negligent because of one thing. At that time, Guo Ju took advantage of the opportunity to enter the palace ban, and the concubines of Emperor Zhang's harem, once unfortunately the emperor bumped into adultery, embarrassed and frightened Guo Ju was ferocious, raised a knife to assassinate the emperor, fortunately was killed by the palace guards, for which Emperor Zhang ordered to prohibit foreign ministers from entering the palace without edicts, and from then on, like the servants, the emperor's close advisers can no longer enter the palace province.

He Jin faced the opposition of the Empress Dowager He, and he was speechless, replacing the eunuchs with Lang officials was indeed a major matter related to the safety of the harem, so he had to think carefully, and instead asked for the killing of the first few powerful eunuchs.

It's a pity that the eunuchs who learned the news immediately secretly fanned the flames in the palace, and rumors about "the general kills the left and right, and the power is weak to weaken the society" began to circulate, plus the Empress Dowager He, He Miao, and Wuyangjun opposed He Jin inside and outside the court, forcing He Jin to privately cancel the plan to kill the eunuchs.

You must know that Wang Mang of the former Han Dynasty used the power of his relatives to control the government to eradicate dissidents step by step, and constantly created momentum for his ascension to the throne on behalf of the Han Dynasty. People are terrible, and He Jinju is as high as the temple, but he also has to guard against the wounds of these gossips.

In addition, the general He Jin has just grasped the power of the court, and he was also a little afraid of the powerful eunuchs before, although under the continuous instigation of the party led by Yuan Shao, he envied the reputation of being removed as an evil eunuch among the people of the world, but seeing that the killing of eunuchs was difficult, he couldn't help but hesitate in his heart, and he was no longer as decisive as the original, so the matter of killing the eunuchs was delayed and could not be decided for a long time.

The first wave of the offensive launched by the party members and their relatives against the eunuchs was gradually disintegrated by the entrenched eunuch group from the inside out.

In the face of the reversal of the situation in the DPRK and China, the attitude of the great generals has also wavered, and there are faint signs of turning into a disadvantaged on the side of the party. Yuan Shao, the leader of the party, hurriedly met with He Jin again, and He Jin once again made a plan, persuading him to gather the fierce generals and heroes from all over the country, and let them all lead the army to the capital Luoyang, so as to threaten the Empress Dowager He and open this stalemate from the outside.

After He Jin failed to kill the eunuch for the first time, he also realized that if the hidden power of the eunuch was not uprooted at this time, it would inevitably become a threat to him in the future. He quickly agreed with Yuan Shao's opinion, and began to gather soldiers and horses from all directions, in the name of exterminating the eunuchs, to gather the capital division of Luoyang.

It is said that it is the soldiers and horses of the Quartet, but when He Jin summoned these foreign soldiers, he was still a little cautious after all, and discussed with Yuan Shao and other party members and the general's staff, although Zheng Tai, Chen Lin, Cao Cao and others clearly expressed their opposition to the entry of foreign troops into Beijing, but Yuan Shao and He Jin, who were eager to break the deadlock, could listen to this kind of advice, so they quickly finalized the candidates who led the troops into Beijing.

First of all, He Jin's subordinates Wang Kuang and one of the members of Yuan Shao's party group, Bao Xin, who was the cavalry captain at the time, were all from Taishan, and the land of Mount Tai was dangerous and mountainous, and the people were fierce, so He Jin asked them to go back to their hometowns to recruit troops. At the same time, he also summoned the Taishou of Dongjun, and Qiaomao, one of the party members, sent troops to Chenggao to threaten the Luoyang Jingshi from the east. Let Ding Yuan, who stepped down from the history of the Bingzhou Assassin and was transferred to the rank of Wumeng Commander, lead thousands of Bingzhou men and horses to march into Hanoi County, cross the river and burn the Mengjin Ferry of the Yellow River, and the fire shined directly into the city of Luoyang, approaching Luoyang from the northeast, and let Dong Zhuo, who was stationed in Hedong, lead the army to the west and threaten the Jingshi of Luoyang from the west, and these military actions were all under the slogan of eliminating eunuchs.

Therefore, not long after Li Ru, Yan Xing and others returned to Dong Zhuo's army in Hedong, Dong Zhuo received the order of He Jin's march, and Dong Zhuo, who was looking forward to it and preparing to lead his troops to intervene in the battle of the Beijing division and fish in troubled waters, happily accepted the order, leaving thousands of men and horses to stop at the key places of the ferries in Hedong, and personally led nearly 10,000 divisions to rush to the Beijing division.

Yan Xing returned to Xu Rong's command, and led his own army of nearly 1,000 men and horses to march towards the Luoyang Jingshi. Nearly 10,000 of their horses crossed the river from Maojin in the east of the river, entered the territory of Hongnong Shaanxi County, and marched along the ancient road of Cuihan, and then the army turned north and crossed Beiling, and the large group of men and horses arrived at Michi City.

From Mianchi to Luoyang, it was necessary to pass through Xin'an, Hanguguan and other places along the way, but the road became smooth, coupled with Dong Zhuo's impatience with the incident in the court, he intended to intervene in the struggle between the parties in the court, so he encouraged the soldiers and accelerated to Luoyang.

During the march, Dong Zhuo had already begun to respond to the call of the general He Jin, and set up a banner for his march to Luoyang to destroy the eunuchs.

"The ministers are only in the world, so there are those who are rebellious, each by the Yellow Gate Chang Zhang Rang and others insult the heavens, manipulate the king's order, father and son brothers and according to the state and county, a book goes out, and they get a thousand gold, and millions of ointment and beauty fields in the counties of Gyeonggi belong to Rang, etc., so that the resentment is steamed, and the demon thief rises."

This is the evil behavior of the eunuchs in power, paving the way for the later self-command of the army to enter the capital and set up a righteous pretense, and then Dong Zhuo began to wash the ground for his previous garrison in Hedong and the anti-decree behavior of watching the situation in the DPRK and China.

"The ministers were edicted to Fuluo, the soldiers were hungry and refused to cross the river, and they all said that they wanted to be eunuched to eliminate the people's harm, and begged for money from the pavilion. The ministers followed the comfort, and even Xin'an. ā€

In the end, Dong Zhuo also set up a righteous pretense of destroying the eunuchs.

"When the minister hears the soup to stop boiling, it is better to extinguish the fire and go to the salary, although the carbuncle is painful, it is better than raising meat, and drowning the boat, and there is no regret. In the past, Zhao Yingxing Jinyang's armor chased the evil of the king's side, and now the ministers are ringing bells and drums like the sun, please accept and so on to clear the traitor! ā€

At the end of the Spring and Autumn Period, the six secretaries of the Jin State were disputed, and Zhao Ying once launched a crusade war against Fan and the Bank of China in the name of "expelling the evil ministers on the monarch's side", which can be regarded as the originator of the "Qing monarch's side", plus the Zhao family and the Wei and Han families defeated the other three and successfully divided the Jin Kingdom, and the feat of the ancestor "Qingjun side" was also justified, Dong Zhuo listened to Li Ru's suggestion, did not ridicule, and directly took Zhao Ying's "Qingjun side" behavior and put it on his own body to justify his name.

It's a pity that as soon as the army entered Michi, Dong Zhuo received an order from the general He Jin to suddenly change, and ordered Dong Zhuo to lead the army to be stationed on the spot, to help the general of the Beijing Division and the party faction in Luoyang, Dong Zhuo brought his soldiers and horses here, seeing that the Beijing division was close in front of him, where was he willing to stay in vain, he ignored He Jin's order and continued to order the march.

So after the front army of Dong Jun crossed the Sunset Pavilion in the west of Luoyang City, he met the counselor Chong Shao, who had announced the edict to stop the advance of Dong Jun. After learning that it was Chong Shao himself, Dong Zhuo immediately galloped to the front army to meet, he suspected that there had been a change in the court, so he would let himself stop the march, so he made his eyes deliberately want the sergeant to hold Chong Shao hostage, but Chong Shao immediately noticed Dong Zhuo's thoughts, he held the edict in his hand, shouted loudly, Dong soldiers retreated, did not dare to step forward, Dong Zhuo himself was speechless to resist the will, plus he was the former official of Chong Song, and it was not good to use force on his grandson Chong Shao, so he could only let the front army withdraw to the Sunset Pavilion and wait for the Chinese army and the rear army to gather, Then discuss the strategy of advance and retreat.
