In the North Palace, in the palace where Zhang Rang lived, almost all the ten permanent servants gathered here at this time.

"Rang Gong, what is the important matter of summoning me and others here late at night?" Zhao Zhong looked at Zhang Rang sleepily, during this time, everyone in the Ten Standing Servants was very careful, not to mention meddling in the government, even if it was a matter in the palace, he rarely asked.

Empress Dowager Dong was sent out of the palace by He Jin, and Empress Dowager He ...... To tell the truth, although in the past, the Empress Dowager He was indispensable to the help of the ten permanent attendants, but because of the relationship with He Jin, the relationship between the ten permanent attendants and the Empress Dowager He was not harmonious, and now that Liu Wei has ascended the throne, the Empress Dowager He is the lord of the North Palace, and the ten permanent attendants naturally dare not often run out to obstruct the eyes, who knows if the Empress Dowager He will be unhappy to take care of them?

Now it is really not difficult for Empress Dowager He to clean them up, so the ten permanent servants have been in a state of eating and waiting for death all these days, and at this point in time, they have already fallen asleep in the past.

"Now that we, the favored ministers of the former emperor, have lost power, if it is not necessary, I don't want to bother you." Zhang Rang looked at everyone and said in a deep voice: "However, at this time, it has come to the time for me to wait for life and death, let me not want to die, I don't think you will want to die, I will recruit you." ”

"Rang Gong, what is the matter?" Seeing that Zhang Rang's face was serious, not as if he was a fake, Zhao Zhong couldn't help but look solemn.

"Tonight, He Jin will hold a banquet in the mansion and invite the Manchu minister." Zhang Rang looked at everyone and said in a deep voice.

No one spoke, He Jin, as a general, invited the ministers of the Manchu Dynasty to a banquet, in fact, there is nothing strange about it, Zhang Rang's words, there must be a following.

Sure enough, Zhang Rang was silent for a moment and said: "I still have some ways in He Mansion, so I found out the news, He Jin is discussing with the scholars tonight to get rid of me." ”

"Rang Gong, this matter is not trivial, can you be sure that the news is reliable?" Zhao Zhong frowned.

"Absolutely." Zhang Rang sighed: "If it weren't for that, why would I alarm you." ”

Gao Wang said in a hurry: "That butcher now holds the soldiers and horses of Luoyang, and the military power in the world is monopolized, he wants to kill us and others, how can we compete with it?" ”

Zhao Zhong's expression moved, and he looked at Zhang Rang and said: "Let Gong, the horse is now stationed in the tiger prison, if he is willing to return to the court, we will not have a chance to compete with that He Jin!" ”

Song Dian shook his head and said with a wry smile: "In the past, I was so powerful, he naturally wanted to convince us to wait, but now I am so powerful, but now he is a high power, why do you care about me waiting for life and death." ”

"Let Gong?" Gao Wang looked at Zhang Rang with some unwillingness.

"I've sent someone to contact the colt before, but the pony is now worried and ill, and I'm afraid it will be difficult to come and rescue us." Zhang Rang shook his head and said.

When everyone heard this, they couldn't help but be disappointed.

"But ......" Zhang Rang changed his words and said: "The horse gave us a strategy, but this plan is very dangerous, and I am advised to use it carefully." ”

"What kind of strategy is it, let the prince say it quickly." When Zhao Zhong and the others heard this, they looked at Zhang Rang anxiously as if they had grasped a life-saving straw.

"Everybody, look at this!" Zhang Rang took out a volume of edict from his arms and handed it to Zhao Zhongdao: "This is the edict left by the first emperor before his death, which was passed on to the prince of Xie, and then transferred to the horse by Shuogong. ”

Everyone looked at the edict in Zhang Rang's hand, but there was no joy, Zhao Zhong smiled bitterly: "What if there is this edict?" We have no military power, but we have righteousness in our hands, how can we compete with the butcher? ”

"Although there are no soldiers in Luoyang, it doesn't mean that we really have no soldiers to adjust, do you still remember Dong Zhongying?" Zhang Rang took back the edict and looked at everyone with a smile.

"Dong Zhuo?" Zhao Zhong and the others were stunned when they heard this, and frowned: "This person is a fierce soldier, but since he established Liangzhou Mu, he has cut off contact with the imperial court, and now although he is a minister, he does not pay tribute, does not worship, how can I move him?" ”

"Dong Zhuo, this person, wolf ambition, now has 100,000 brave people in Xiliang, how can he only be a Liangzhou pastor?" Zhang Rang sneered: "If this edict is given to him, he will naturally lead the army to come without our persuasion." ”

"But how can we be sure that he will be at our disposal?" Gao Wang frowned.

"Dispatch?" Zhang Rang shook his head: "In the past, he lost the battle in Jizhou, and he gave me money and goods, and I also helped him tide over the difficulties, but the first emperor has gone, and this is not a favor, with this human nature, how easy is it to mobilize him?" However, we are just for self-protection, Dong Zhuo led his troops to come, and He Jin will naturally lead his troops to meet the enemy, so we have a place to maneuver. ”

"Let the public say it is very true." Song Dian nodded when he heard this, the most important thing now is that they can't even save their lives, and it is too ridiculous to think about what to mobilize troops and horses.

Zhao Zhong hesitated a little and said: "It's just that in this way, I'm afraid that Luoyang will fall into war again, the first emperor has trusted us all his life, and it is inevitable that we will do this ......."

When Zhang Rang and others heard this, they couldn't help but be silent, although the ten permanent servants were notorious, but the reason for this was that many of them were helping Liu Hong carry the pot, but in any case, they can have today's wealth and power, thanks to Liu Hong, at this moment, as soon as this edict is sent out, it is almost the destruction of the Han Dynasty, no matter who wins in the end He Jin or Dong Zhuo, the majesty of the Han family may have to be wiped out.

"It's just that I have no choice now." Song Dian sighed, shook his head and said: "Your Majesty treats me well, but now that it is a time of life and death, I can't care about that much, and even if there is no such thing, I am afraid that the Han River will not be able to grow." ”

"Let Gong, you say, how to do it, I'll listen to you!" Gao Wang looked at Zhang Rang, no matter how good Liu Hong is to them, people die like lights going out, and those who are alive still have to think about the future, as for loyalty...... They are already worthy of Liu Hong, what will happen to the world next is really not something they can control, and now they can only take one step at a time.

"I want to live!" Zhang Rang looked at everyone and said with a wry smile: "Now we have no other way to go, and even the horses are not willing to go back to Luoyang to get involved in the current government. ”

"Everything is at the mercy of the princess." Everyone hurriedly bowed and said.

"Okay, this matter is a matter of life and death for us, and we need to send a confidant to send this edict to Dong Zhuo." Zhang Rang's eyes swept over everyone, and Sen Ran said: "It's not that I don't believe you, it's just that this matter is related to our lives, and we must not be hasty. ”

Otherwise, what if the person delivering the letter runs away directly on the way, besides, with the reputation of the ten permanent servants who are now shouted and beaten, don't say that if you go to Xiliang, I am afraid that if you just leave Luoyang City, you will die without a whole body.

When everyone heard this, they nodded unconsciously, Zhang Rang's worries, everyone can understand it, although the ten permanent servants are one, but after all, people's hearts are separated from their stomachs, and they were just a combination of interests in the past, and now everyone is planning for themselves, so it is naturally difficult to trust others.

Everyone screened, and then sent someone to Xiliang with the edict to spread the edict, and everyone discussed trying to avoid conflict with He Jin during this time, and at the same time grasped the palace guards and forbidden troops tightly, if one day the situation is really irreversible, they can also break through.

In the next few days, Luoyang City was calm, and Yuan Shao asked He Jin several times to get rid of the Ten Standing Attendants, but He Jin was always indecisive and couldn't make up his mind, which made Yuan Shao and others quite anxious.

"Did this butcher see something and didn't want to do it?" Yuan Mansion, Yuan Shao, and Wang Yun knelt in front of Yuan Kui, Yuan Shao frowned and thought about why He Jin was reluctant to do it.

In fact, the main thing is that the scholars want to take this opportunity to let He Jin break into the palace again, killing the ten permanent servants is incidental, and the most important thing is the military power.

Now that the military power of Luoyang is very strictly guarded by He Jin, the scholars cannot interfere, if He Jin shifts his attention to the Ten Standing Attendants, they can mobilize troops and horses from other places to compete with He Jin.

"Originally, you went to visit Ye Zhao, is he really sick?" Yuan Kui looked at Yuan Shao and frowned.

"It's true." Yuan Shao thought about the situation when he went to visit Ye Zhao a few days ago, his face was pale, his eyes were blank, and his expression was decadent, just like Ye Zhao's staff reported at the beginning, at least Yuan Shao couldn't see any clues, and looked at Yuan Kui with some puzzlement: "Why does my uncle ask this question?" ”

"You......" Yuan Kui shook his head: "That Ye Zhao is not sick in the morning, not in the evening, but he is seriously ill at this time, if it is true, this is too much of a coincidence, he is sick, it is impossible for me to use him to compete with He Jin." ”

"Uncle is saying he's faking his illness?" Yuan Shao raised his eyebrows and said unexpectedly.

"The old man doesn't believe in coincidences." Yuan Kui smiled and shook his head, didn't say yes, didn't say no, just said: "In this way, he was praised for nothing, and I have to make another plan now." ”

"It's just that this Luoyang military power, the butcher is watching it quite closely, I want to get involved in it again, I'm afraid it will be difficult!" Yuan Shao looked at Yuan Kui with a wry smile, he hadn't thought about rebuilding the Si Li Captain Department these days, after all, the original Si Li Captain Department had become Ye Zhao, the Wei General's Mansion, and was no longer under the control of the Si Li Captain.

It's just that this time it takes a lot of money and food to rebuild the department of the lieutenant department, and He Jin obviously can't give it, they have to get it themselves, and secondly, it takes time to recruit and train this new army, and when it becomes an army, I don't know what year and month it is.

"Since the people and horses of Luoyang are hopeless, then transfer other soldiers and horses." Yuan Kui thought for a moment and said indifferently.

"Uncle is talking ......" Yuan Shao's heart moved, and he looked at Yuan Kui.

"Do you remember Ding Jianyang?" Yuan Kui did not answer, but asked rhetorically.

"Naturally, I remember, if it wasn't for my uncle's promotion, how could he be the assassin of this state?" Yuan Shao couldn't help but laugh when he heard this.

"Letter to him, let him lead Bingzhou Xiaoyong south to Luoyang......" Yuan Kui looked up at Yuan Shao and said: "Qingjun side!" ”

"Whoa!" Yuan Shao was slightly stunned when he heard this, then reacted, and hurriedly bowed down to receive the order.
