As soon as Liu Hong died, Jian Shuo thought about killing He Jin first, and then supporting Liu Xie to succeed him. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info So in the name of Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty, he summoned He into the palace to discuss important matters. He Jin was not vigilant and came in a hurry. However, as soon as he arrived at the palace gate, he immediately felt that something was wrong.

The one who came to greet He Jin was Sima Panyin under Jian Shuo. But Jian Shuo never thought that this Pan Yin was actually an undercover agent who He Jin had been lurking by his side for a long time! As soon as Pan Yin saw He Jin, he hurriedly glanced at him. He Jin understood, and immediately turned around and ran back to the barracks under his control, and Pan Yin then arrived and told He Jin everything.

He Jin immediately led his troops into the Baijun Mansion and sent someone to convey to Jian Shuo, "The general is sick and can't enter the palace" Jian Shuo knew that something was wrong and he was defeated.

Two days after the death of Emperor Liu Hong of the Han Dynasty, on April 13, the first year of Guangxi (189), the 14-year-old Liu Wei successfully ascended the throne as King Hongnong. Respect the biological mother of the Empress Dowager, and listen to the government in the dynasty (there are only two emperors in the Eastern Han Dynasty who are born to the empress: one is the second emperor, Liu Zhuang, Emperor Ming of the Han Dynasty; The other is the penultimate emperor, Liu Bian, the king of Hongnong. But the fate of the same person is not the same, and the fate of Liu Wei and Liu Zhuang cannot be said on the same day) amnesty to the world and change the yuan. Feng younger brother Liu Xie as the king of Bohai. After the seal, the general Yuan Kui was the prince above the three dukes, and he participated in the Shangshu affair together with the general He Jin.

He Jin's spring is coming, which means that the cold winter of Jian Shuo and the eunuchs is also coming! If Jian Shuo is not removed, how can He Jin eat and sleep sweetly? He Jin's thoughts, naturally he can't hide it. So a man named Zhang Jin took the initiative to come to the door and said to He Jin, "If you want to save the country in dire straits, killing a Jian Shuo will not help at all." If you want to play, play big. Only by digging out all the big tumors of the Han Dynasty can the world be saved" He Jin knew that the so-called big tumor was the eunuch. Zhang Jin means that he wants to let himself take off the eunuchs!

What a risky and great undertaking it is! Didn't the old-timers Chen Fan and Dou Wu have such dreams at the beginning? But they didn't succeed, so can I succeed?

To engage in conspiracy, that is also to be strong. And the reason why He Jin was able to happily agree to this matter was mainly because the person who sent Zhang Jin was a powerful faction engaged in conspiracy: Yuan Shao!

Speaking of which, Yuan Shao is also quite unlucky. lost his mother at an early age, and soon his father, Yuan Tang's eldest son, Yuan Cheng, also died. Yuan Tang's second son, Yuan Feng, inherited the title and adopted Yuan Shao. It can be seen that God did not abandon this child. Yuan Shao is majestic, and his biggest hobby is to raise soldiers. Three religions and nine streams, no matter whether they are high or low, they respond to requests, so Yuan Shao is famous in Luoyang City... Once the eunuchs held a meeting, Zhao Zhong said worriedly, "That Yuan Shao is a good name, I really don't know what he wants to do" Yuan Shao's third uncle Yuan Kui heard it, and immediately called Yuan Shao and told him that the eunuchs had set their sights on him, you have to be restrained, don't get into trouble. But Yuan Shao listened to it and listened to it, and still went his own way...

The old Jianghu Zhao Zhong is still really accurate when he looks at people. Yuan Shao made friends with famous people all over the world, in fact, to prepare for his future career. And his career is to clarify the world, exterminate the eunuchs, and save the building from collapse. In fact, Yuan Shao's intention to kill the eunuch was not an overnight strategy. As early as half a year ago, there were already people who were ready to join him to act secretly. That person was Gai Xun, who was later driven out of the central court by Jian Shuo to serve as Jing Zhaoyin.

After Gai Xun left, Yuan Shao's plan to kill the eunuch had to be put on hold for the time being. Until this moment, he seemed to see hope again, so he took the initiative to send a doorman Zhang Jin to lobby He Jin to work together.

Having said that, He Jin can accept the plan of the angry young Yuan Shao, not only to recognize Yuan Shao's strength, but also to recognize the golden signboard behind Yuan Shao - the Yuan family in Runan! The Yuan family started from Yuan An to Yuan An's great-grandson Yuan Kui, after a hundred years, four generations and three dukes, and protégés and former officials are all over the world. And Yuan Kui, as a prince, is the highest representative of the civil officials of the imperial court together with himself; Yuan Shao is the second lieutenant of the Chinese military in the eight lieutenants of the West Garden, second only to Jian Shuo; Yuan Feng's own son Yuan Shu served as the general of the Tiger Ben, and the cousins both held heavy troops... The Yuan family, what a huge temptation this is, how could He Jin refuse to cooperate with Yuan Shao?

After Zhang Jin left, He Jin had never been so busy and excited as he was now. He was excited because he seemed to see success close at hand, within reach; Busyness is due to pulling people everywhere. In addition to the Yuan family, He Jin also pulled many heroes and heroes in the world to hold big things together: He Hao in the Northern Army, Xun You, the Huangmen Shilang, Shangshu Zheng Tai and other more than 20 people.

He Jin was busy, and Jian Shuo was not idle. It was as if he could smell a strong breath of blood in the air. If He Jin didn't succeed in engaging in it himself, it was impossible for He Jin not to retaliate. The only way now is to ask for help from the eunuch brothers of the same gang.

Jian Shuo wrote to Zhao Zhong, Song Dian and others, "The He family has taken control of the emperor, acting arbitrarily, and trying to unite the world's scholars and doctors to kill us eunuchs. The reason why I haven't done it now is because I am afraid that I still have the military power of the forbidden army in my hands. Now we can only unite and strike first to kill He Jin."

After receiving Jian Shuo's letter, the eunuchs met collectively to discuss how to deal with the crisis. Soon the results came in. No one expected that the result would be that the eunuchs were going to betray Jian Shuo! The eunuchs proved a cruel truth with their actions: there are no eternal brothers on the rivers and lakes, only eternal interests. For the sake of interests, you can stick two knives in your brother at any time...

Speaking of which, Jian Shuo doesn't blame the eunuch brothers for not helping him, he can only blame his own character and vision for being too poor! Beside him, there is an undercover agent like Pan Yin; And in the eunuch group, there are also He Jin's staunch supporters: He Jin's fellow countryman and Zhongchang servant Guo Sheng.

Guo Sheng and the He family siblings are in the same boat. At the beginning, it was Guo Sheng's efforts in many ways that allowed Liu Hong to be crowned Queen He. Later, Queen He poisoned Wang Meiren out of jealousy, and after Liu Hong learned about it, he was angry and wanted to be abolished, and it was Guo Sheng and the eunuchs who pleaded with Liu Hong to save Queen He. In other words: from the very beginning, the eunuchs have dealt with the Empress Dowager He, and the relationship is not bad. Without the eunuchs, there would be no Empress Dowager He today. At the same time, Zhao Zhong and others also believed: Empress Dowager He should not be the kind of person who wants to demolish the bridge after crossing the river. Based on the above considerations, between He and Jian Shuo, Zhao Zhong and the others chose the former.

After reaching an agreement, the eunuchs rejected Jian Shuo's proposal and forwarded Jian Shuo's letter to He Jin.

At this time, He Jin was very proud: Jian Shuo, you are finished! Your brothers are no longer helping you, so what else can you do? On the 25th, He Jin ordered the Huangmen Order to arrest and kill Jian Shuo, and took over Jian Shuo's forbidden military power.

After killing Jian Shuo, He Jin targeted the next spearhead at the Empress Dowager Dong's family. The contradiction between the Dong family and the He family is estimated to have ended when Empress He poisoned Wang Meiren. Empress Dowager Dong's adoption of Liu Xie, born to Wang Meiren, is estimated to have two meanings: 1. The grandson is safe by her side, and Queen He does not dare to poison her; 2. Raise your grandson well, and let him avenge his mother in the future.

Therefore, the relationship between the Empress Dowager Dong and the Empress Dowager He has long been intolerable. And invisibly, this also caused discord among the eunuchs: Jian Shuo and most of the eunuchs were supporters of the Empress Dowager Dong; And some eunuchs represented by Guo Sheng supported Empress Dowager He.

Women can quarrel to this point, and they are speechless. But for He Jin and Yuan Shao, what they want to see is a split within the eunuchs. Wild beasts do not form groups and are easy to be hunted and killed; It seems that it is not difficult for the eunuchs to divide and repair them.

But before killing the eunuchs, He Jin must first deal with the Empress Dowager Dong. Because the contradiction between the two women has reached a white-hot level at this time, they have to decide the winner. Why is Mrs. Dong so angry that she dares to argue with the Empress Dowager He, who is now in the court? There are also reasons for that: 1 The power of the Dong family is not weak, and Dong Chong, the nephew of the Empress Dowager Dong, is now serving as a hussar general, and there are a large number of eunuch supporters behind him; 2 Empress Dowager Dong relies on the old and sells the old, as a mother-in-law, how can there be a reason to be bullied by her daughter-in-law?

Based on the above reasons, the Empress Dowager Dong repeatedly intervened in politics and carried it with the Empress Dowager He. Of course, Empress Dowager He is not easy to bully, as long as Empress Dowager Dong comes out to interfere in politics, she will not say a word and directly dismiss it. In the end, the Empress Dowager Dong jumped up and scolded the Empress Dowager He: "What are you arrogant? Isn't it just relying on your brother He Jin? I'll tell you: I'm going to ask my nephew Dong to cut off the head of your family's He Jin, and that's easy."

The last fig leaf was ripped off by the old woman. Empress Dowager He didn't need to endure it anymore, she told He Jin, "The old woman bullied me, brother, you have to avenge me"

In May, He Jin and the Three Princes played "Empress Dowager Dong instructed Xia Yun and others to collude with the local government to embezzle, and the money was all in her Yongle Palace." In addition, according to the Han tradition, the empress dowager of the feudal kingdom was not allowed to live in Jingshi, and should move back to her country."

Liu Hong loves money more than life. There is a son and a mother. The old woman has accumulated a lot of money, it should be true. There is also moving out of the ancestral family law to talk about things, and it is natural to drive the old woman out of Beijing... Now you can see who is amazing, right?

On the 6th, He Jin led his troops to surround the Hussar General's Mansion, arrested Dong Chong, and dismissed him on the spot. Seeing that the general trend had gone, Dong Zhong committed suicide.

On June 7, Empress Dowager Dong collapsed. As for how did the old woman die? One is suicide; As soon as he said that He Jin sent someone to poison him... As a result, most of the people complained about the Dong family and did not accept what the He family did.

On the 17th, Emperor Liu Hong of the Han Dynasty was buried in Wenling. He Jin was heartbroken because when Liu Hong died more than two months ago, Jian Shuo wanted to lure him into the palace to ambush him, so he called himself sick again and did not attend the funeral.

In July, Liu Xie, the king of Bohai, was relocated to the position of Chen Liuwang.

In July, Situ Ding Palace was dismissed.

All obstacles have been cleared, and it is time to use the knife against the eunuchs. But Yuan Shao waited for it, but he still didn't see any movement from He Jin. Now Yuan Shao was anxious. Thinking about it, it wasn't Zhao Zhong, what benefits did they give He Jin? After helping him get rid of Jian Shuo, He Jin was kind and soft-hearted, and shook hands with others, right?

If that's the case, that's a big bad thing! Yuan Shao came to see He Jin in person and said, "My General He, have you taken our great cause to heart?" Do you remember how Dou Wu died? Now that you have the power of the army, we scholars are also at your disposal. Don't rush to do it now, when will it be"

After He Jin heard this, he was speechless for a while. Yuan Shao only knows how to kill. But it's easy to kill eunuchs, but the question is that after the eunuchs are destroyed, who will run errands in the court? If this technical problem is not solved, the harem will be chaotic. He Jin can't explain it!

However, soon, He Jin still entered the palace to meet his sister Empress Dowager He. After some discussion with Yuan Shao, he thought that after the eunuchs were killed, the three Lang officials could replace the eunuchs to run errands. As long as Empress Dowager He can accept this opinion, the following things will be easy to do...

But when He Jin said this idea, it was immediately rejected by the Empress Dowager He for two reasons: 1 Han tradition, the harem is run by eunuchs. It is inappropriate to abolish this practice of the ancestors overnight; 2 The first emperor had just passed away, and you asked me to work with a group of scholars. How does this work?

He Jin had nothing to say, so he had to go out of the palace and tell Yuan Shao, "The Queen Mother does not agree to kill the eunuchs." Otherwise, we will only kill a few particularly arrogant ones and extinguish the prestige of the eunuchs."

When Yuan Shao heard this, he exclaimed, "How can this work?" The eunuchs were close to the emperor and the empress dowager, and they were the only channel for communication between the upper and lower levels. Scarce intelligence in his possession. As long as there is one of them in that position, we don't want to live a stable life" What Yuan Shao said seems to make sense? For a while, He Jin was in a dilemma...

What He Jin didn't expect was that there were also major disagreements within the He family on the issue of killing eunuchs. There were two important figures in the He family who blew the wind in the ears of the Empress Dowager He, which strengthened the determination of the Empress Dowager He to stop the elder brother from killing the eunuchs.
