Chapter 31: Turmoil
Although He Jin tried hard to persuade the Empress Dowager He, the Empress Dowager He still did not let go, so in the end, He Jin went back alone.
In fact, Zhang Rang understands that they no longer have any advantages, and as soon as Emperor Ling dies like this, they can only let go of Yibo if they want to maintain their original power.
It is true that back then, they wanted to rejuvenate the Han Dynasty with Emperor Ling, but with the control of power, the kind of people who determine life and death with one word have the power to gradually make them lose themselves, and the Yellow Turban Rebellion wantonly solicited bribes and deceived the superiors and subordinates, making this big man so dilapidated now.
But it is easy to go from thrift to luxury, and it is difficult to go from luxury to thrift. Now that He Jin, who has tasted power, wants to wipe them all out, then they can only find a way to balance He Jin.
That night, Zhang Rang and other eunuchs gathered in the dormitory of the Empress Dowager Dong. The next day, the Empress Dowager Dong issued a decree, and named the Emperor Zixie as the king of Chen Liu, Dong Zhong as the general of the Hussar, and Zhang Rang and others pre-ruled the government.
Empress Dowager Dong intended to weaken He Jin's authority, but He Jin refused to allow it. So he summoned the three dukes into the palace, and after the discussion of the three dukes, the next day, the Empress Dowager Dong was sent back to Hejian with the original concubine. On the same day, He Jin immediately sent the Empress Dowager Dong back to her hometown, and surrounded Dong Chongbi's general's mansion to collect the seal ribbon.
The next day, Yuan Shao entered the General's Mansion and soon left. A few days later, the river was trained, and the Empress Dowager Dong died violently on the way back to her hometown. He returned to Beijing and was buried in Wenling, but the general was sick.
Hearing the news, Yuan Shao entered the general's mansion and said to He Jin: "The eunuch wants to suppress the general in this way, and the sinister heart is clearly revealed. ”
He Jin then entered the palace again to ask the Empress Dowager He for advice. didn't know that Zhang Rang and others had already bribed He Miao and Empress Dowager He with a lot of money. Under He Miao's persuasion, He Jinzi did not get the permission of Empress Dowager He.
So, Yu Yu returned home. Yuan Shao saw the general and asked, "What's the matter?" I saw He Jin replied depressedly: "The Queen Mother still doesn't allow it." ”
When Yuan Shao heard this, his heart was also condensed, and then he seemed to be breathing a lot faster, and he slowly breathed a sigh of relief, and said to He Jin: "Why don't you recruit heroes from all over the world, march into Beijing, and punish the eunuchs." At that time, the situation was urgent, and the Queen Mother was not allowed to obey. ”
When He Jin heard this, he didn't have time to think deeply, so he high-fived him with his fist and said freely: "This plan is wonderful!" He issued a letter to all counties and summoned him to Beijing. Chen Lin and Cao Cao on the side spoke out one after another to stop them, but they were not listened to by He Jin.
When everyone left the General's Mansion, Chen Lin took Yuan Shao's hand and said: "At the beginning, it was reckless this time, if a foreign warlord enters Beijing, how can he be defeated in Beijing, but if there is a change, what should it be?" ”
At this moment, Yuan Shaofang had just woken up from a dream, and said in surprise: "Kong Zhang's words are serious, but Shao Shao's thinking is not thorough. After a pause, he glanced at Cao Cao on the side without a trace, and then said with palpitations: "At this time, what should we do?" ”
Although Chen Lin complained in his heart when he heard this, he could only complain and couldn't think of a way. Seeing this, Yuan Shao looked at Cao Cao on the side, Cao Cao thought about it a little when he saw this, and sighed faintly: "Now that the summoning order has been issued, we can only respond to all changes with the same." ”
Hearing this, Chen Lin and Yuan Shao could only nod helplessly, and Yuan Shao continued: "Kong Zhang, Meng De, why don't you go to my mansion to discuss again?" ”
When Cao Cao heard this, he excused himself and said: "If there is something at home, forgive me, I'm afraid I can't go with you." Seeing this, Yuan Shaobian and Chen Lin left together. And Cao Cao stood there watching them leave, until Yuan Shao disappeared from his field of vision, but his deep eyes were still staring at the place where Yuan Shao left, looking deeply.
A few days later, all the feudal towns slowly converged near the imperial capital of Luoyang.
At this time, Zhang Rang and others in the palace also felt a strong sense of crisis. So Zhang Rang and others bribed He Miao with a lot of money to slander He Jin in front of the Empress Dowager He, so the Empress Dowager He, who was gradually kept in the dark, ordered He to be summoned into the palace.
He entered the palace, but his shogunate staff just didn't allow it. This matter has been exposed, and there must be a plan in the palace, but the queen mother has to go again. So Yuan Shao and Cao Cao escorted He Jin with swords.
There are 500 strong men selected with the Royal Forest Army, led by Yuan Shao's brother Yuan Shu, and Yuan Shu is escorted all over his body. In front of the Changle Palace, the Yellow Gate passed the decree: the Queen Mother specially summoned the general, and the rest waited outside the palace. So everyone could only stop outside the palace gate.
When He Jin followed the Yellow Gate to the gate of the Jiade Palace, Zhang Rang and Duan Jue greeted him, and dozens of small eunuchs on the left and right surrounded He Jin together. He Jin was shocked when he saw this, and shouted inwardly: "Zhang Rang, what do you want to do?" ”
Zhang Rang also said with a miserable smile on his face: "General He is so majestic, the first emperor has just gone, and he can't tolerate us lowly people, and when he is so desperate, mine can only fight to the death!" After speaking, he gave an order, and all the eunuchs rushed up. He Jin was chopped into meat puree in an instant.
Yuan Shao was outside the palace gate, waiting for He Jin for a long time to no avail. So he shouted: "The general gets in the car!" But there was not the slightest echo in the hall, and after a while, someone threw He Jin's head out and said: "The general disobeyed the queen mother and has been punished." ”
Hearing this, Yuan Shao and Cao Cao's eyes were full of shock, but Yuan Shu on the side had a flash in his eyes, and said to the two: "The arrow has to be sent on the string." Then he shouted to the five hundred guards: "Sons, follow me to eliminate the eunuchs!" ”
Immediately afterwards, Yuan Shu led five hundred guards to rush into Changle Palace, and Yuan Shao and Cao Cao also rushed in. Seeing that they couldn't do anything, Zhang Rang and others set a fire in the palace, and then kidnapped King Chen Liuwang and fled with the young emperor.
Zhang Rang and others embraced the young emperor and Chen Liuwang, smoked and burst into flames, and ran all the way to Beibi Mountain. Zhao Zhong had been killed by the chaotic army in the chaos of Fangcai, and Zhang Rang could only let the two hide at this time. In the panic, Zhang Rang did not carry the posthumous photo of the Spirit Emperor Liu Hong with him at all, and it was too late to go back at this time.
After a while, there was a general situation chasing after him, and Zhang Rang was also desperate at this time. I had to look at King Chen Liuwang and the young emperor and said sadly: "I have tried my best, and I can face the first emperor here." He threw himself into the river and died.
After that, Situ Wang Yun and all the ministers pursued him. Seeing that the young emperor and King Chen Liuwang were safe and sound, the important ministers hugged each other and cried together. is in the crowd, crying out that the sky has mercy on the big man. Suddenly, I saw the flag covering the sky, the dust covering the sky, and people and horses were coming.
The officials suddenly lost color, and the emperor was also shocked. Yuan Shao looked at the large number of military horses descending from the sky, frowned, and rode out. Shouted and asked, "Who?" ”
Among the military horses opposite, a person flew out and asked loudly, "Where is the Son of Heaven?" With a shout, the young emperor was frightened and couldn't speak. At this time, Chen Liuwang rode his horse on one side and said, "Who is the old man?" Hearing this, Yuan Shao frowned at the same time as the person opposite.
The man paused and said, "Xiliang stabbed Shi Dong Zhuo, and I came to pick it up." Hearing this, King Chen Liuwang on the other side immediately shouted: "Are you here to pick up the driver or to hijack the driver?" Dong Zhuo on the other side was very different when he heard this, and he randomly turned over and dismounted, bowing down to greet him.
Then Chen Liuwang spoke to appease Dong Zhuo, and Dong Zhuo's heart was very different when he listened. And Yuan Shao on the side did frown deeper and deeper, and glanced at Dong Zhuo and Chen Liuwang without a trace, and his heart was indeed turning sharply.
On that day, Dong Zhuo welcomed the Son of Heaven and returned to the imperial capital. Since then, the palace has been operating normally, Dong Zhuo has taken ironclad military horses in and out of Luoyang every day, rampant in the market, and the people are panicked.
There is also a lot of discussion among the families.
Yingchuan Chen family, the contemporary head of the family Chen Ji reported the recent events to his father, the old man sat in the study, sighed slightly, still did not make any movement, just ordered to wait for the opportunity.
Yingchuan Xun family, at this time Xun family's Wang Zuozhicai - Xun Yu. In the study, listening to the judgment of the two old men on this major event in the world, Xun Yu was heroic and sassy, standing aside, and did not insert a word.
In the land of Jingxiang, Mr. Shuijing Sima Hui and Pang Degong also talked about it, only to see Sima Hui smile and say: "Pang Degong, when will you lead your beloved apprentice down the mountain to achieve great causes?" The old man on the other side smiled slightly: "The secret of heaven must not be leaked!" ”
At this moment, it is located in the mansion of Yuan Shao in Luoyang, and the Gyeonggi Forbidden Army is still in the hands of Yuan Shao at this time. Bao Xin, who was also the eighth lieutenant, suggested to Yuan Shao: "At this time, Dong Zhuo is lonely, if we are confined to the four gates, we will expel him."
Yuan Shao did not listen to his words, and Bao Xin was angry and abandoned the official and returned to Mount Tai.
