The Fall of the Eunuchs

Who knows that the wall has ears. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info These words were all eavesdropped on by the people sent by Zhang Rang and Duan Qi. They never thought that they had sold their fellow brothers Jian Shuo before and curry favor with He Jin. I thought that such a bad idea as killing the eunuch was thought up by Yuan Shao and Dong Zhuo, but who knew that the real mastermind behind the scenes was He Jin!

The eunuchs were furious, and they decided to fight back! At this time, He Jin had not yet left the palace, and Zhang Rang led dozens of people from the same party, all of whom carried weapons, and sneaked into the palace to ambush.

He is in and out of the palace. Zhang Rang, who had been waiting for a long time, immediately greeted him and told He Jin, "The Queen Mother has an edict, please return to the palace to discuss matters" He Jin didn't think much about it, and followed Zhang Rang and walked back.

He Jin stepped into the ghost gate by himself! When He Jin entered the eunuch's ambush circle, Zhang Rang suddenly stopped and shouted, "He Jin, do you remember: When the Queen Mother poisoned Wang Meiren, the first emperor wanted to abolish her, but it was us eunuchs who begged for mercy and made tens of millions of dollars to keep the position of the queen of your He family." Now that you have a lot of power, you want to tear down the bridge when you cross the river, isn't it too ruthless?"

Shang Fang Jian Qu Mu was furious, drew his sword and stood up, shouting, "What else do you have to say to this kind of person" The sword fell in his hand, and in front of the Jiade Palace, He Jin was killed on the spot.

However, killing He Jin does not mean that everything is fine. There are also Yuan Shao and Wang Yun in Luoyang City; There is also Dong Zhuo outside the city. If they are not eliminated, the fate of the eunuchs is still precarious. Of course, Zhang Rang, Duan Qi and other eunuchs understood this truth. They wrote two edicts on the spot, appointing the former Taiwei Fan Ling as the lieutenant of Sili and the Shaofu Xu Xiang as the Henan Yin. After writing it, send someone to send the edict to the Book of Books, and ask the other party to send the edict out.

At this time, the Shangshu Department was not under the control of the eunuchs, such as Shangshu Lu Zhi was a staunch anti-eunuch person. So the staff of the Shangshu Department said, "Please come out, we have to ask to understand" Everyone is dead, how can you ask? Zhonghuangmen directly threw He Jin's head in front of the officials of the Shangshu Bureau, and shouted, "This is your general." He tried to rebel, and we have killed him."

At this time, there was an uproar outside the palace. He Jin's subordinate officers Wu Kuang, Zhang Zhang and others waited outside the palace for a long time, but they heard the news that "He Jin was killed" inside, and they prepared to attack the palace one after another, and He Jin took revenge.

Hearing the shouts of the army outside, there was tension inside the palace. The eunuchs all held weapons in their hands, held their breath and condensed, strictly guarding the palace gate, and everyone's face was condensed with murderous aura.

It was getting late, the night was dark and the wind was high, and it was a good time to kill people and set fires. Suddenly, someone ordered: burn the Qingzuo Gate of Nangong and force out the eunuchs!

It was Yuan Shao's cousin Yuan Shu who gave the order, and he and He Jin's subordinates had completely surrounded the palace. When the eunuchs saw it, they immediately led people to run to the harem.

How will the dog react when it is pushed into a hurry? Either jump over the wall or bite the other way around. The bandits were chased by the police, either jumping off the building or taking hostages to blackmail them. Zhang Rang, who was forced to be anxious, thought of this trick at this time - hijacking the emperor and the queen mother.

Zhang Rang rushed to the harem and told the Empress Dowager He, "The general rebelled, set fire to the palace, and is attacking the Shangshu Department." The situation is critical, please run with us" Empress Dowager He, Emperor Liu Wei, and Chen Liuwang Liu Xie were all kidnapped and taken away by the eunuchs.

Yuan Shu burned the South Palace, and the direction in which the eunuchs wanted to escape was the North Palace. Connecting the north and south houses is a double road in the air. Just as the eunuchs were taking hostages and running away, a fierce man wielded a spear and chased after him: Shangshu Lu Zhi!

Lu Zhi is physically strong and has been a military general. If such a person really catches up and kills, it is a very terrifying thing for the eunuchs. But Lu Zhi chased for a long time, but still didn't catch up. The reason is very simple: the eunuchs are running in the air, but Lu Zhi is chasing on the ground.

Anyone who has watched "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" knows that Sun Ce called Fan Neng to death and Zhang Fei to retreat Cao Bing, but they don't know that Lu Zhi's voice is also comparable to Sun Ce and Zhang Fei! He chased after him, and suddenly raised his head and roared angrily at Duan Qi, the eunuch who had kidnapped the Empress Dowager He. Duan Qi was shocked.

Lu Zhi's earth-shattering roar made Duan Jue frightened and frightened, so he had to let Empress Dowager He go. Empress Dowager He also reacted very quickly, turned over and jumped off the road.

Lu Zhicai rescued Empress Dowager He, and Yuan Shao and his uncle Yuan Kui also arrived. The first thing they did was to kill Fan Ling and Xu Xiang. Both of these men were hired by the eunuchs to act as substitutes for the dead.

Then Yuan Shao and He Jin's younger brother He Miao hunted and killed Zhao Zhong and other eunuchs in Zhuqueque. However, Zhao Zhong's words before his death aroused the dissatisfaction and suspicion of He Jin's general, Wu Kuang and others. It turned out that one of the reasons why He Jin hesitated and refused to kill the eunuchs was that He Miao accepted the eunuchs' money and said a lot of things that were not conducive to the plan. It seems that He Jin's death, his younger brother He Miao is also responsible for a large part of the responsibility.

Wu Kuang immediately killed He Miao with Dong Zhuo's younger brother Dong Min and abandoned the corpse in the garden.

After all this was done, it was finally possible to concentrate on hunting down the eunuchs. Zhang let them hide in the North Palace, but they couldn't hide from Yuan Shao. It didn't take long for Yuan Shao to attack the North Palace. As soon as he entered the North Palace, Yuan Shao ordered the palace gate to be closed and a carpet hunt was carried out. What's even more terrifying is that Yuan Shao gave an order: Anyone who sees a beard on his face will kill one when he sees one!

Parents of the body's hair and skin. It is true that the ancient Chinese did not shave their beards easily. But we must be clear: eunuchs do not have beards, but this does not mean that all men other than eunuchs have beards. Yuan Shao's order like this, in the final analysis, is a sentence - it is better to kill a thousand by mistake than to let go of one!

In the end, Yuan Shao counted the heads, and there were more than 2,000 in total. Yuan Shao counted the heads, not only to know how many people he had killed, but also to see if there were any fish that had slipped through the net. He counted for a long time, and suddenly found that he still let a few big fish run away, and the biggest fish among them was, of course, Zhang Rang.

On the evening of the 27th, Zhang Rang, Duan Jue and others hijacked Liu Wei and Liu Xie, and a group of about dozens of people, sneaked out of the city from the north gate of Luoyang and ran all the way to the north. Escaped to the Yellow River crossing of Xiaopingjin. As long as they cross the Yellow River, they will be saved. But at this time, some people did not let them cross the river: Lu Zhi, Peng Mingong in central Henan.

Can two people fight dozens of people? Do not worry. didn't need Lu Zhi to make a move, Min Gong rushed up alone and killed several people. and sharply asked Zhang Rang, "Did you end it yourself?" Or do you want me to do it."

Zhang Rang, who knew that his death was coming, bowed to Min Gong, knelt down and kowtowed to Liu Bian, "Your Majesty, the minister is gone, take care" and jumped into the Yellow River and died.

The sky is above, and the Yellow River is proof. The group of eunuchs who had disturbed the politics of the Han Dynasty for a hundred years finally came to a huge end with Zhang Rang's jump. The first era of eunuchs in Chinese history ended in tragedy.

Late at night, the 14-year-old emperor Liu Wei and the 9-year-old Chen Liuwang Liu Xie, under the protection of Min Gong, finally returned safely to the post station outside Luoyang City by the glimmer of fireflies on a summer night.

On August 28, the first year of Zhaoning (189), Liu Wei rode a horse alone, and Liu Xie and Min Gong rode a horse together. Leaving the post station and returning to the palace, the ministers of the Han Dynasty also went out of the city one after another to greet them.

The Emperor is back, but the nightmare is far from over! The day before, Dong Zhuowang, who was in Xianyang Garden, saw the fire in the palace, and knew that there was a change, so he hurriedly led his troops to hurry. Finally arrived in the west of Luoyang before dawn. At this time, he received news that the emperor was in the north of the city, and Dong Zhuo immediately rushed to the north of the city to meet the emperor.

As we all know, one of the greatest masterpieces of Cao Cao's life was to blackmail the Son of Heaven to order the princes. But this trick was not the first one created by Cao Cao, Dong Zhuo had used it. At this time, Dong Zhuo really looked like a wolf. Wherever there is a smell of meat, it will pounce on you. He clearly said that he was going to greet the emperor, but in fact he was going to hold the emperor hostage.

Soon in Beimanghan, Dong Zhuo and Zhongqing met Liu Bian, the king of Hongnong. But what made Dong Zhuo depressed was that Liu Wei didn't like him. As soon as he saw him coming with his troops, he immediately cried non-stop. The secretary was very helpless, so he said to Dong Zhuo, "You scared the emperor." The emperor ordered you to lead your troops to retreat."

Dong Zhuo sneered in his heart: It's all this time, and you still tell me this? It's! So he shouted impatiently, "Get out of here!" Do you know why the emperor cried? It is because you, the so-called pillars of the country, cannot assist the emperor well, so that he is in exile and frightened. Now I still have the face to tell me to withdraw my troops" Dong Zhuo scolded while swaggering in front of Liu Wei and Liu Xie's brothers to speak.

Dong Zhuo found that 14-year-old Liu Bian's psychological quality is not ordinarily poor. When asked him questions, he was speechless for a long time. On the contrary, the 9-year-old Liu Xie's child was very calm and answered Dong Zhuo's question 1510.

Dong Zhuo couldn't help but think in his heart: How can he be an emperor if he is so timid? Liu Xie was raised by the Empress Dowager Dong, and he and the Empress Dowager Dong also have the same surname. Why don't you abolish this Liu Wei and support Liu Xie's ascension to the throne?

This was just a momentary thought, which flashed in Dong Zhuo's heart, but it was fixed for a long time.

On the same day, Liu Wei returned to the palace. Change the yuan, amnesty to the world. Feng Ding was originally the ruling Jinwu. After inspecting the belongings, he found that the jade seal of the country was gone.

At this time, Bao Xin, who went to Taishan County to recruit troops on the order of He Jin, came back, and he quietly came to see Yuan Shao, "Dong Zhuo is not a good type. He has a strong army, and he must have bad intentions. You should get rid of him while he is not familiar with Luoyang City and his heels are not yet firm. No, then there will be endless suffering."

Bao Xin's words reached Yuan Shao's heart. At the beginning, he introduced Dong Zhuo into Beijing, but he wanted to borrow a knife to kill people. But now that the eunuchs have been destroyed, the sword has entered the city; And this is not an ordinary knife, Yuan Shao can no longer control this knife.

In the final analysis, at this time, Yuan Shao was still a little afraid of Dong Zhuo in his heart, and he didn't dare to attack. Bao Xin could only reluctantly lead his troops back to Taishan County. The reason for this is only known to Yuan Shao. He thinks that he can't find out Dong Zhuo's bottom now. And it seems that Dong Zhuo's strength is very strong. If you really do it, you may not be Dong Zhuo's opponent.

If Dong Zhuo knew that Yuan Shao was thinking like this in his heart, he would definitely laugh. In fact, Dong Zhuo's strength is pretended. Yuan Shao's eyesight was too poor and he was deceived.

In fact, Dong Zhuo only brought 3,000 foot riders to Beijing this time. Dong Zhuo also knew that with these 3,000 soldiers, it was impossible to turn over the river and the sea in Luoyang City. So he played a little trick: every few days, he let his troops sneak out of the city in the middle of the night, and the next morning, he entered the city with war drums beating and military flags fluttering...

After a few back and forth, everyone thought that Dong Zhuo's Liangzhou Army was constantly marching into the capital of Luoyang. However, Dong Zhuo also knows: This kind of trick can be played once or twice, and if you play too much, you will definitely show your feet. Besides, being strong is not pretending, you must first strengthen yourself. So what to do?

There is nothing difficult in the world, only afraid of those who have a heart. Since Dong Zhuo dared to come in, he naturally had a way to gain a foothold here. If you don't have soldiers, you rob others. Dong Zhuo locked his eyes on the troops of He Jin and He Miao brothers before their deaths. Soon after, he took over the unit without incident.

Then Dong Zhuo set his sights on one person's troops. In order to solve this person, you have to target another person: Ding Yuan and Ding Yuan's subordinate Lu Bu.

Lu Bu served as the chief bookkeeper under Ding Yuan. Ding Yuan appreciated him very much. And when Dong Zhuo saw Lu Bu, he also appreciated it very much. Dong Zhuo also saw that people like Lu Bu would not live under others for a long time. So he said to him, "Do you want to be the boss, as long as you kill Ding Yuan, I will give you Ding Yuan's previous position as a cavalry captain, and you will be the leader of this army." How about it" (In "Romance of the Three Kingdoms", Dong Zhuo's strategist Li Su offered a plan to win over Lu Bu with a red rabbit horse, a thousand taels of gold, dozens of pearls, and a jade belt. This is the words of the novelist, and there is nothing to do)

A soldier who does not want to be a general is not a good soldier. Between the general and the soldier, Lu Bu decisively chose the former. He killed Ding Yuan, annexed the troops, and attached himself to Dong Zhuo... Since then, Lu Bu has been given the title of a thief on his head. As soon as the heroes of the world saw Lu Bu on the battlefield, they scolded him for the thief first, and then came to the competition.
