Chapter 22 History Advances, Joy Merges States

Yuan Shao persuaded He Jin again: "In the past, Dou Wu wanted to kill his inner pet but was victimized because what he said leaked out, and the five battalions and hundreds of officials obeyed the eunuchs and were afraid of the eunuchs. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 infoNow the general has such an important position as an uncle, the brothers are the same commanders of the army, and the subordinate generals are all handsome and famous, willing to do their best to report their lives, the thing lies in mastery, this is the time for God to help. The general should eliminate the harm for the world and make a name for future generations. Although the Shen Bo of the Zhou Dynasty is nothing! Now the coffin of the lord is in the front hall, and the general is forbidden to lead the army under the command, and he should not enter and leave the palace province casually. ”

He Jin thought so, so he didn't go to the funeral under the pretext of illness, and he didn't send the funeral. That is, he made a plan with Yuan Shao, and told the Empress Dowager He about the plan. Empress Dowager He didn't listen and said: "The eunuchs rule the forbidden province, from ancient times to the present, the old rules of the Han family cannot be abolished." Besides, the first emperor has just passed away, how can I work with scholars in a grand manner? "He Jin can't go against the will of the Queen Mother, and wants to kill those leaders. Yuan Shao thought that the eunuchs were close to the emperor and ordered them to go in and out, and if they were not all eliminated now, they would definitely cause harm in the future.

Empress Dowager He's mothers, Wuyangjun and He Miao, accepted bribes from various eunuchs many times, knew that He Jin was going to kill them, and told Empress Dowager He many times that they wanted Empress Dowager He to shelter them. He also said: "The general is good at killing cronies on the left and right, and the autocratic power is weak to the emperor." The Queen Mother suspected that this was indeed the case.

Some of the eunuchs have been around the emperor for decades, and they are the princes and nobles, and the internal and external collusion is extremely consolidated. He Jinxin is in charge of important tasks, and he has always been afraid of them, although he has a big name outside, he can't make a decision in his heart, so things can't be decided for a long time. Why did Yuan Shao and others plan to gather more fierce generals and a large number of heroes from all directions, so that they all led troops to the capital and threatened Empress Dowager He. He Jin agreed. Chen Lin, the chief bookkeeper, advised: "Yi said, 'If the deer is let go, it cannot be caught.'" ’

As the saying goes: "Catch a bird blindfolded." "Small things cannot be deceived by will, let alone national affairs, how can they be obtained by deception. Now the general is always mighty, and he has the power to control the army, and the dragon and the tiger are stepping forward, high or low, all in your heart. It's like burning your hair on a stove, what's the problem? It is in line with the Tao, contrary to the scriptures, and is obedient to heaven and man. Abandon sharp weapons and look for foreign aid. When the soldiers gather together, the strong are the strongest, which is what is said to be done upside down, and the handle is given to others, and the merit will never be achieved, and it will become a step of chaos and evil in vain. ”

He Jin didn't listen.

Therefore, the former general Dong Zhuo was summoned to the west to be stationed in Shanglin Yuan, Guanzhong, and Wang Kuang of Taishan was sent to mobilize the strong crossbowmen of his county, and the Taishou Qiao Mao of the eastern county was summoned to garrison the city, so that Ding Yuan, the commander of Wumeng, burned Mengjin, and the fire made the city red, and they all said that they would kill the eunuchs. Empress Dowager He still disagreed.

He Miao said to He Jin: "At the beginning, we came all the way from Nanyang, and we all relied on the palace to get rich because of poverty. The affairs of the country are not easy! If the poured water cannot be recovered, it should be carefully considered and friendly with the palace. ”

He Jin's meaning was even more suspicious. Yuan Shao was worried that He Jin would change his mind, so he threatened him: "The situation of combining with each other has been revealed, if things are not done, something will happen, what is the general waiting for, why not decide early?" ”

He Jin then used Yuan Shao as the lieutenant of the school, held the talisman, and ordered it to be broken; Engaged in Zhonglang Wang Yun for Henan Yin. Yuan Shao sent Luoyang Fangluo military officials to monitor the eunuchs, so that Dong Zhuo and others galloped up, preparing to march into the army and be optimistic. Empress Dowager He was frightened, dismissed all the small yellow gates, and returned to the house, leaving only the people close to He Jin to guard the province.

All the attendants of Xiao Huangmen went to He Jin to ask for guilt and listened to how He Jin dealt with it. He Jin said to them: "The world is disturbing, and it is the kings who are harming!" Now that Dong Zhuo is coming soon, why don't you all go to the country as soon as possible? Yuan Shao persuaded He Jin to execute them at this time, again and again, again and again, He Jin did not allow it.

Yuan Shao also wrote to the prefectures and counties, falsely spreading He Jin's intentions and arresting the eunuchs' relatives. He Jin had been planning for too long, the matter was leaked, and the eunuch was afraid of wanting to change. Zhang Rang's son-in-law (daughter-in-law) is the sister of the Empress Dowager He, and Zhang Rang kowtows to the son-in-law and says: "If the old minister is offended, he should be in private with the bride." Thinking of the grace of the world, now to stay away from the palace, it is difficult to give up, please enter the palace again, to be able to temporarily visit the queen mother, the emperor, and then go back, there is no regret in death. ”

The son-in-law said to Wuyangjun that Wuyangjun told the Empress Dowager He, so she ordered all the attendants to return to the palace. In August, He entered Changle and asked the Empress Dowager He for her consent, and killed all the permanent attendants, and selected the three Lang Lang to enter the palace to guard the palace housing.

The eunuchs told each other: "The general does not mourn or send a funeral when he is sick, and now he suddenly comes to the palace, what do you want to do?" Did the Dou family have a resurgence in the past? Zhang Rang and the others sent people to eavesdrop on what He Jin said, and completely listened to what He Jin said, so he led dozens of people such as Duan Qi and Bi Lan to quietly enter the side door with weapons and ambush the palace. When He came in and out, he pretended to be summoned by the Queen Mother.

He entered the confinement, and Zhang Rang and others scolded He Jin and said: "The chaos in the world is not only the sin of my generation. The first emperor once had a discord with the queen mother, and almost abolished the queen mother, we cried to rescue, and each took out tens of millions of family wealth as gifts, and the meaning of the first emperor of Yue, just want to rely on your He family's portal. Isn't it too much to want to kill our race now? You say that the palace is filthy and dirty, who is loyal and honest below the minister? So Shang Fang Jian Qu Mu drew his sword and slashed He into front of the Jiade Palace. Zhang Rang, Duan Qi and other edicts, with the late Taiwei Fan Ling as the division of the school attached, Shaofu Xu Xiang as Henan Yin. Shang Shu got the edict, suspected that it was false, and said, "Please ask the general to come out and discuss together." ”

Zhonghuangmen threw He Jin's head to Shang Shu and said, "He Jin rebelled and has been killed." So Yuan Shao and others took this opportunity to lead troops into the palace and kill all the eunuchs. Then Dong Zhuo was summoned to Beijing according to the previous order, and soon abolished the young emperor Liu Wei, set up another Liu Xie, and forced to kill the Empress Dowager He, and killed the mother of the Empress Dowager He, Wuyangjun, the He family perished, and the last foreign relative dictatorship in the Eastern Han Dynasty was eradicated, and the Han Dynasty also went to war from then on.

Maybe this is the fate of nature, He Jin died directly at the hands of the Ten Standing Servants, and the Ten Standing Servants died indirectly at the hands of He Jin.

That night, the whole palace was full of shouts and killings, the two hostile political groups headed by He Jin and the inner court eunuch group headed by the ten permanent servants were merged, the young son of heaven Liu Wei was forced out of the palace, frightened all the way, and met Dong Zhuo, a warlord of Liangzhou who entered Beijing in the name of "King Qin", and Dong Zhuo went retrograde after returning to the palace, just because he did not like the son of heaven Liu Bian, so Liu Bian was deposed as the king of Hongnong, becoming the only emperor deposed in the Eastern Han Dynasty, and his half-brother Liu Xie, the king of Chen Liu, succeeded to the throne as the emperor and was the emperor for the Han Dynasty.

Just as Yuan Shao was massacring eunuchs in the inner palace, Dong Zhuo led his army to the western outskirts of Luoyang and met the young emperor and King Chen Liuxia in the north. Dong Zhuo inadvertently got a trump card, he embraced the young emperor and drove into Luoyang City with his army. When He Jin decided to transfer Dong Zhuo to lead the troops into Beijing, Chen Lin, the chief bookkeeper, once reminded him: "As soon as the soldiers arrive, the strong will dominate, and this is to take the fight and give authority to others, not only will it fail to achieve its goal, but I am afraid it will cause chaos!" ”

Seeing Dong Zhuo's majestic and invincible appearance, Bao Xin, who had just returned to Luoyang from Mount Tai's recruitment, said to Yuan Shao worriedly: "Dong Zhuo has a strong army, with ill intentions, if he can't take measures as soon as possible, he will fall into passivity. ”

Yuan Shao saw that Dong Zhuobing was strong and strong, and he was afraid in his heart and did not dare to act rashly. Bao Xin was very disappointed and led his troops back to Mount Tai. Dong Zhuo was very arrogant and determined to abolish the establishment in order to establish his personal authority.

He arrogantly said to Yuan Shao: "The lord of the world should choose a virtuous person. Liu Xie seems to be okay, and I want to make him emperor. If it doesn't work, there is no need for the descendants of the Liu family to stay. Yuan Shao was very angry when he heard this, and said-for-tat: "The powerful person in the world, is it only Dong Gong, you!" ”

After speaking, he held the saber horizontally, arched his hand to Dong Zhuo, and walked away. Yuan Shao did not dare to stay in Luoyang for a long time, he hung the talisman issued by the imperial court on the upper east gate and fled to Jizhou.

Dong Zhuo ordered Yuan Shao to be arrested, and someone persuaded Dong Zhuo at that time: "Abolishing a major event is not something that ordinary people can understand." Yuan Shao didn't know the general situation, so he was afraid to run away, not because he had other meanings. If he is too hastily arrested, it will inevitably provoke an incident. The four generations of the Yuan family have spread kindness, and their protΓ©gΓ©s and former officials are all over the world. If Yuan Shao recruits heroes and pulls up the team, the heroes will take advantage of the situation, at that time, Kanto may not be under the control of Ming Gong, so it is better to pardon him and give him a county guard, then, he is glad to be exempted, and he will not cause trouble. ”

As a result, Dong Zhuo appointed Yuan Shao as the Taishou of Bohai and gave him the title of Marquis of Yixiang.

In order to resist Dong Zhuo, Ding Yuan, who was destined to be a tragic figure in history, appeared, Ding Yuan's word Jianyang, the official worshiped Jinwu, led the state assassination history, after the death of Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty, he was invited by He Jin to enter Luoyang to kill the ten permanent servants, but before he arrived, He Jin was killed by the eunuchs. Later, Ding Yuan clashed with Dong Zhuo, and Dong Zhuo learned that Ding Yuan's general Lu Bu was not reused, so he sent an envoy to provoke and induce Lu Bu to kill him.

In September of the sixth year of Zhongping (189 years), Dong Zhuo abolished the young emperor as the king of Hongnong, and set up Liu Xie as the emperor, which was the emperor of the Han Dynasty. At that time, "the noble relatives of Luozhong looked at each other, the gold silk property, and the family accumulated." Zhuo indulged in soldiers, burst into their houses, obscene women, and extorted assets, which is called 'searching prisons'".

A year after his deposition, Liu Wei committed suicide under the coercion of Dong Zhuo at the age of fifteen, and his younger brother Emperor Xian posthumously proclaimed him King Huai.

At the same time, the most sensational thing happened in the entire late Han Dynasty, Cao Cao stabbed Dong, that's right, it was Cao Cao, he originally took the seven-star treasure knife sent by Wang Yun and wanted to go up and give him a knife while Dong Zhuo was sleeping, but unfortunately Dong Zhuo's life should not be broken, this time he was broken by Lu Bu, and hurriedly deceived Dong Zhuo under the pretense of offering a knife, and fled all the way after going out.

Dong Zhuo was furious and ordered to be wanted on all fronts, Cao Cao was rescued by Chen Gong, but after slaughtering Lu Bohao's family, Chen Gong complained that he had killed him by mistake, and Cao Cao said the words of the heroes who have left a name for the ages: "I would rather bear the people of the world than the people of the world bear me." ”

Just when Luoyang, Kyoto staged a scene of blood and tears history, Liu Xuewu, who was originally silent, acted secretly and did the biggest beneficiary.
