Chapter 27 Guo Sheng's gift
The General's Mansion is unusually crowded today. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
There are no low-level people who come, and there are no petty officials, all the people who come are important ministers of the court, and they can't even pronounce their names. They discussed a lot below, and they all received information before they came to the General's Mansion to assemble.
He Jin detoured from the path to the back of the main hall to facilitate his own entry, and as for Cao Cao's twelve people, they were all assigned by He Jin to go out and enter the general's mansion from the main gate. After all, it would be terrible to let outsiders know that these people were discussing matters in their own mansions.
He Jin dressed solemnly, and made another big circle before he went around to the front of the main hall, where the courtiers were waiting; Xun Gang followed He Jin non-stop, he didn't know why this general was so fat, but he didn't have any breath when he ran.
"Greetings to the General!"
As soon as he entered the main hall, the sharp-eyed courtiers saluted one after another, but Xun Gang clearly saw that there were many people who not only did not salute, but also did not even give He Jin a straight eye. Xun Gang understood that these people must be the henchmen of the eunuchs, so he didn't give He Jin face.
He Jin waved his hand, and those ministers naturally stood up, and suddenly saw the three-year-old child panting behind He Jin, and was speechless in surprise.
Whose child is this?
But no one dared to speak, because the general obviously knew that this child appeared in the main hall, and since the general did not speak, it was better for him to keep his mouth shut, as long as this child did not interfere with the normal progress of the meeting.
"There are so many people...... Xun Gang stood in a vacant position below, and He Jin walked straight up the steps of the main hall, overlooking the ministers below, and sneered: "I only got this news for a long time, how did you come to this great general's mansion so quickly?" ā
The ministers below were all silent, and they didn't seem to dare to answer He Jin's question, especially the henchmen of the previous eunuchs, who buried their heads and didn't dare to look at He Jin.
"The matter has come to this, and I don't want to pursue you careful ......" He Jin said a word, and covered up the matter.
"Jian Shuo is dead......"
He Jin's simple four words, and the ministers below did not dare to speak out, because they didn't know what to say. Let's say it's very happy, what should I do if I am retaliated against by the eunuchs in the future? Let's say it's a pity...... That's even more death.
So it's better to be silent.
He Jin had already expected that these people would not be able to speak, so what are you doing here one by one like mad dogs? Busy showing your loyalty to me? He Jin smiled and said, "I only know that Jian Shuo died, how many people know the inside story?" ā
The hall was still silent.
He Jin frowned slightly, as if he was impatient: "You don't know the inside story, and you don't even say anything...... Isn't there anyone trying to say something? ā
"General Yu ......" someone in the crowd finally stood up, He Jin looked at it, his brows furrowed even deeper, it turned out to be a minister who has been attached to the eunuch on weekdays, the man said: "Recently, I heard that the Queen Mother escaped from the deep palace, and no one in Luoyang saw it, and the lower official thought to himself...... Is the Queen Mother hiding in the General's Mansion? ā
He Jin's face was wrinkled a lot, and it was obvious that it was impossible for the minister to know about this kind of thing, it must have been told to him by those eunuchs. He Jin sneered: "Lao Gong is worried, where is the Queen Mother, you don't need to worry, I don't know...... Ask about this, what is the connection with Jian Shuo's death today? ā
"Xiaguan just asked casually." The man smiled, "It's just that just a few of the middle servants have just entered the general's mansion and gone straight into the backyard. ā
He Jin's face changed in an instant, Empress Dowager He did live in the backyard of the General's Mansion today according to the wishes of her subordinates, but how did these eunuchs know? Wait! Regardless of these, if you let those eunuchs and the queen mother face each other......
"Damn it!" He Jin snorted in annoyance, but at this time, he only heard someone outside shouting, "The Queen Mother has arrived!" The voice was hoarse and sharp, and it was the voice of a eunuch when I heard it. He Jin sighed in his heart, it seems that today's things are going to be complicated again.
With that summons, the surrounding ministers knelt down towards the central carpet, and He Jin also knew that it was really inappropriate to stand on this hall again, so he ran to the head of the ministers and clasped the ground on one knee.
Xun Gang also knelt down, but unlike the courtiers, he took advantage of the advantage and quietly looked at the Queen Mother and her party; I saw that the Empress Dowager He was wearing gorgeous clothes, her hair was extremely rigorous, and her body was decorated with various decorations, which was eye-catching. The Queen Mother was followed by three people dressed in black, wrapping herself like a mummy; One of them, Xun Gang, knew Guo Sheng, who he had met before.
Why don't you see Xu Shu and the others? Xun Gang was puzzled, and suddenly heard movement outside the hall, Xun Gang followed the prestige, Xu Shu hid behind the door to signal to himself, but his face was extremely pale, and he didn't know what was going on. Xun Gang nodded, indicating that he had seen it, and as for what happened, he could only ask later.
Empress Dowager He ascended the main hall, and the three eunuchs lined up in a line, kneeling in front of the Empress Dowager; Xun Gang found out that Guo Sheng was still holding a huge plate in his hand, covering it with a linen cloth.
"Rise up, your ministers." Empress Dowager He stood on it, her eyes were more serious than He Jin's, and she was extremely majestic.
Before the minister could get up, the three eunuchs suddenly began to cry out for the sky and the ground, and the hoarse voice that screamed scared Xun Gang and thought about the situation; I saw one of the eunuchs crawl out, howling with a handful of snot and tears: "The Queen Mother! We are wronged! The general said that we were plotting to abolish the emperor, and there was a disobedient move! How dare we bear such iniquity? ā
Guo Sheng also climbed up, and opened the plate in his hand, and it was a bloody head! Those ministers who had never seen such a scene turned their stomachs upside down, and they almost threw up.
Xun Gang saw the head of a living person for the first time, and the person's eyes were still open, as if he was dead, and the blood was bubbling down, which made people very uncomfortable; Fortunately, Xun Gang's psychological endurance is excellent, so he will not become so embarrassed.
Guo Sheng howled: "The plot to abolish the emperor is the conspiracy of Jian Shuo alone!" We've got a letter to prove it! Now that the traitor Jian Shuo has been killed by us, I hope the Queen Mother will choose to atone for her sins! I'm waiting for an innocence! ā
Originally, Guo Sheng didn't want to kill Jian Shuo, because he felt that he had been deceived by a three-year-old child.
He asked Dian Wei to follow Xun Gang, but he never expected that the information that Dian Wei brought him was simply shocking; Although this kid stayed in a dilapidated house for a while, his subordinates actually brought him to the General's Mansion later!
In other words, what this kid said before was true...... If He Jin really believes in him in his heart, but he holds a grudge against Jian Shuo, he must not be restrained!
He secretly called Jian Shuo to the Royal West Garden, and in a flower shade, unknowingly, he killed Jian Shuo with a stick, and then cut off his head with a sharp blade, put it on a plate, and used it as a "gift" for He Jin.
He felt that in this way, He Jin would not kill the eunuchs, and his life would be saved; After all, without yourself, where did you come from now?
The last eunuch didn't seem to be outdone, he actually climbed directly to the main hall, hugged the queen mother's feet and cried: "The queen mother! I'm waiting for villains, it's not a pity to die! But how is the Minister forcing us to wait? This is completely persecuting the Queen Mother! After I leave, I hope the Queen Mother will take care of her health! ā
Xun Gang was stunned, how could these eunuchs be so able to reverse right and wrong? When did the minister persecute the Queen Mother? Do these ministers not refute these words when they hear them?
But to Xun Gang's disappointment, despite these eunuchs saying such words, all the courtiers still did not have any words.
Why? Xun Gang didn't understand, but it was just three villains, why didn't these people even dare to put a fart?
Empress Dowager He's eyes were still the same, but she glanced at He Jin, who was standing aside, and said to the three eunuchs: "I can't make the decision on this matter, since the general is guilty and blamed, you will equal the power and replace Jian Shuo, and admit your mistake to the general." ā
The three eunuchs did not slack off in the slightest, Guo Sheng was a little slower, and the other two people howled frantically like a dead father, holding He Jin's leg and denouncing Jian Shuo's sins in various ways, and by the way, they also washed themselves in vain, saying that they were all in trouble and endangered the world, all of which were none of their business, and they were all Jian Shuo's plan.
No way! to this extent is also intoxicating, Xun Gang came into contact with this kind of person for the first time, and felt that his outlook on life had completely collapsed.
But he didn't know that this was the genius of the eunuchs; After all, politics ...... It's always unscrupulous.
Today I weep at your feet, and tomorrow you may come to my door and beg me.
He Jin's heart was very cold, how could he not know the careful thoughts of these eunuchs? He had also discussed it before, and the matter of killing the eunuchs was put on hold for the time being, but Jian Shuo died...... What other reason do you have to kill these eunuchs?
He Jin wanted to kill Jian Shuo, but he also wanted to completely eradicate the tumor of eunuchs from the court!
So far...... What can he say?
"The general has forgiven you, and I am not quick to thank you." Empress Dowager He commanded three eunuchs in the main hall, and it was obvious that these people had already arranged the script, but now they were just performing it. The Queen Mother doesn't need He Jin to say it clearly, as long as she says that the general has forgiven you, the general has to forgive.
The status is there.
"Ladies and gentlemen, what else do you have to say?" Empress Dowager He asked down again, these ministers are still the same as before, and they don't dare to put a fart; The reason why they came here seems to be to excrete carbon dioxide.
The Queen Mother didn't need these people to say anything, and walked down the hall indifferently, ready to leave; When she passed by Xun Gang, she paused slightly, but she didn't stay long after all, and left with three eunuchs, leaving behind a long-forgotten head.
Xun Gang glanced at He Jin, who clenched his fists, as if he wanted to hit someone hard. Before long, He Jin clenched his teeth, kicked Jian Shuo's head away, and squeezed out a few words from his mouth: "Colleagues......"
"Adjournment!"
