On this night, Zhang Rang and other eunuchs gathered in the Queen's Palace. (Like this book, please bookmark biquge.info) They lowered their eyebrows and lowered their eyes, and their faces were humble.
Their appearance, just like the Empress Dowager Dong, also confused the queen. They lowered their posture, feared sincerely, and tried their best to curry favor.
In the end, although Empress He Wan knew that these eunuchs were uneasy and kind, she still agreed to them and summoned He into the palace overnight.
In fact, Queen He Wan has no possibility of refusing. Because, the entire palace is under the control of the eunuchs, it can be said that her and the lives of the young emperor are also in the hands of these eunuchs, even if they are not like this, she has to obediently obey the next summons of the queen.
What's more, these eunuchs lowered their posture, and seemed to be sincere in admitting their mistakes to her, and said that they sincerely wanted to express their intention to He Jin and invite General He Jin to come to the palace to discuss.
When writing the call, the queen's heart wanted to have Liu Yi by her side to make decisions for her, but unfortunately, in recent months, Liu Yi has hardly entered the palace, if she didn't know that Liu Yi is a love and righteousness, and knew that Liu Yi was sincere to her, she would even think that Liu Yi had let her go.
The matter of asking Queen He Wan to summon He into the palace was just a trivial matter.
And when He Jin received the queen's message, he also happened to be in the mansion, and was discussing with Cao Cao, Yuan Zhao, and a group of his cronies, seeking people and military generals to have a banquet.
What he discussed, of course, was a thousand-year-old issue, and what came and went was the matter of removing traitors and clearing the monarch. They've been going back and forth for years. Cao Cao, who was here, was already calloused and a little bored. Not only Cao Cao, but even Yuan Shao is the same, for people like He Jin, who only say but don't do, and only can't discuss, they are bored.
But. This night, Yuan Shao was not bored, but a little eager to try, because. Uncle Yuan Kui talked to him in detail once, even if He Jin didn't do it, his Yuan family was ready to do it.
This is also a matter related to the rise and fall of the Yuan family, and it has reached an extraordinary moment.
He Jin's excavation, the limelight has overshadowed the Yuan family, and it has threatened the interests of the Yuan family. Recently. He Jin stretched out his hand everywhere, asking for soldiers and power, holding his identity to see the account, he actually thought that he was superior to Yuan Kui, and in the court, sometimes he didn't give Yuan Kui much face.
Originally, Yuan Kui, the Taifu, was the real auxiliary minister. He Jin's participation in Shangshi only has the right to ask about the affairs of the DPRK and China, and he is not the real regent. But He Jin's approach has already regarded himself as a regent.
One mountain can't accommodate two tigers, auxiliary government and regent, this is destined to be impossible to coexist in the court. It's a pity that He Jin's forces have been resisting too quickly in the near future, and Yuan Kui has no chance to attack He Jin.
Under such circumstances, Yuan Kui had no choice but to set his sights on the eunuchs in the palace. Yuan Kui has been an official for decades, and now, he can see it very clearly. Understand how to truly dominate the world. Only like the eunuchs in the palace can he completely control the emperor's every move and become the emperor's spokesperson, so that he can truly say that he has completely mastered the authority of the court. So. He felt that if the Yuan family wanted to continue to gain the status of the past, it must really hold the authority of the court, like those eunuchs in the palace, and blackmail the Son of Heaven to gain power.
Regarding the situation in the palace, Yuan Kui has long been clear about the situation in the palace since he became an official for decades, and he knows the defensive arrangement of the forbidden army in the palace. There are only about 40,000 forbidden troops in the palace, and it is impossible for 40,000 people to defend the palace in normal times. Yuan Kui knew that among them, there were 20,000 soldiers and horses, in fact, they had always been stationed in a forbidden army camp close to the palace, and every 20,000 horses and horses took turns entering the palace to protect the palace, and among every 20,000, not all of them were deployed in the palace.
The 20,000 horses were actually divided into two or three horses, and they took turns to defend the palace. There are also military camps in the palace. In the past, when the world was calm, it would be enough to send three or four thousand forbidden troops to guard the palace, but at this time, I am afraid that there are usually seven or eight thousand men and horses to take turns to guard.
In other words, in the palace, its real strength is only 20,000 horses, and among them, more than 10,000 soldiers and horses are immovable, and the thousands of men and horses scattered in the palace may not be able to defend the palace. That is to say, as long as they attack the palace as quickly as possible before they react, as long as the young emperor is snatched up, then no matter how many other soldiers and horses there are, it is useless. Besides, you can first send a part of the soldiers and horses to contain the 20,000 forbidden troops living outside the palace, and after attacking the palace, you can send some soldiers and horses to contain the forbidden army living in the palace, then the thousands of forbidden troops scattered to protect the palace do not pose a threat at all.
As Mrs. Zhang and Liu Yi said, the Yuan family seems to have frequently mobilized troops and horses recently, and the number of soldiers in the palace has increased a lot, in fact, Yuan Kui has made up his mind and decided to take action against the eunuchs in the palace, snatch the young emperor from their hands in one fell swoop, and then coerce the Son of Heaven to gain power. The matter of updating is related to the luck of the Yuan family, so Yuan Kui naturally has to discuss with Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu, two representatives of the younger generation. They discussed and decided that Yuan Shao would lead the army of the eighth lieutenant of Xiyuan to contain the forbidden army camp outside the palace, and then Yuan Shu would contain the forbidden army camp in the palace, and Yuan Kui would personally lead the Yuan family to kill the eunuchs and rob the young emperor.
Yuan Shao was eager to try, just thinking about preempting He Jin and controlling the young emperor in his own hands.
These things, He Jin and Cao Cao didn't know. To be honest, if he hadn't seen that He Jin had indeed shown signs of making a move, he wouldn't want to discuss with He Jin anymore, and he would basically draw a line with He Jin now, especially with the increase in He Jin's power, when facing Cao Cao, there was also a lot of arrogance, which also made Cao Cao feel that the shaft was not enough. But at this time, He Jin was indeed one of the most powerful people on the surface of the court, and Cao Cao did not have a real showdown with He Jin at this time, but just took a step by step, while secretly developing his own strength, and sent Cao Ren, Xia Houyuan and other generals back to their hometown and Jinan respectively.
This night, He Jin finally discussed something substantive with everyone.
Usually, He Jin always discussed with everyone how to contact Haojie, and on the grounds that his own strength was not enough, he never discussed what to do when he really wanted to get rid of the traitors. Now, he is formally discussing with everyone how to attack the palace and how to rescue the young emperor from the hands of the eunuchs.
At this moment, Cao Cao also somewhat believed that He Jin was serious, because of the bright face. He Jin did already have the strength to compete with the eunuchs in the palace, and he no longer had any excuse to say that his strength was insufficient.
He Jin and others were elated, competing for advice, you say a word to me. Xiangyi is fighting again, and I don't know if it's because of arguments or drinking, and everyone is a little red-faced.
At this time, someone suddenly reported that a summoned chamberlain came to the palace.
He Jin got up and knelt down to accept the summons.
When he saw that it was the queen's call, he was happy. Summoning Cao Cao and the others to see.
The queen summoned her, saying that Zhang Rang and others were terrified because they saw the general's prestige rising, and they were moved by the general's prestige, and decided to discuss with the general about the transfer of the forbidden army's military power. Invite the general to enter the palace and go to the queen's palace to discuss, and the queen is only waiting, and the queen will preside over the discussion......
Anyway. The implication is that these eunuchs actually said that they were afraid of He Jin. Therefore, it was decided to hand over the military power of the forbidden army to He Jin, and asked He to enter the palace to receive it.
This point, in fact, is also used by the eunuchs for He Jin's needs, and recently, He Jin is also working hard to compete for military power. Especially compared to the eighth lieutenant of the West Garden, he was no longer angry about being killed by Bao Hong, so He Jin is now in power, and he has intensified his efforts. Not only did the eighth lieutenant of Xiyuan want to stretch out his hand, but together with the military system that belonged to the Yuan family, in terms of city defense, He Jin also wanted to win part of the military power.
Since He Jin wanted to seize the military power, Zhang Rang and other eunuchs took the initiative to hand over the military power of the forbidden army. It's a big temptation.
In fact, if it wasn't written by the queen herself, everyone would have seen a problem with this call, and He Jin could see the problem at a glance. Those eunuchs would actually take the initiative to give away the military power? This, He Jin will not believe it when he says it, and he will even feel that there will be some conspiracy in it. However, this call was written by the queen herself, and He Jin immediately dispelled the doubts in his heart, and did not realize the danger. On the contrary, he was a little overjoyed, because he thought that if he could win the power of the forbidden army again, then he was the real and powerful figure in the court, and those eunuchs were not all at his kneading?
He Jin let the summons circulate in the hands of everyone, and he said with a smug smile: "Haha, it seems that it is not too troublesome to deal with these eunuchs, you see, aren't you already soft now?" Everyone drank wine first, and waited for General Ben to enter the palace to take a look and see what the queen said. ”
Now the queen He Wan is the queen mother, but everyone is used to calling the queen for a while, and He Jin still calls the queen.
"No! Lord, it's late at night, and the queen has summoned you to the palace, I'm afraid that there will be changes! A scribe urged urgently.
At this moment, it is estimated that it is about nine o'clock in the evening. It's almost curfew time, and at this time, everyone feels strange when they suddenly come to Chuan He to enter the palace. Is there anything that can't be discussed again tomorrow? Do you have to enter the palace so late? Even if it is as the queen summoned and said, it is the eunuch who wants to hand over the forbidden army to He Jin, but he is not in a hurry to do it this night?
Yuan Shao's eyes flickered and he didn't speak. His Yuan family was ready to make a move against the eunuchs in the palace, but he hadn't found a suitable time to do it, and at this time, he felt that it was an opportunity.
If He Jin is not suppressed or the power of the Yuan family is enhanced, it will not be long before the Yuan family will be suppressed by He Jin, and He Jin will always be on the head of the Yuan family. Therefore, compared with other people, Yuan Shao's heart hopes that He will enter the palace, provided that those eunuchs have plans for He Jin. If those eunuchs really succumbed to the power of the forbidden army and handed over the power of the forbidden army to He Jin, then, compared to the Yuan family, it would be really bad, so, the power of the Yuan family, afraid of beating the horse, could not catch up with He Jin, and was far behind He Jin, and in the future, the Yuan family would have to look up to He Jin's snort and live.
Cao Cao didn't have much else to think about at this time, he looked at the summons, and he also saw that something was not quite right, and also persuaded He Jin: "General, please think twice, it is really inappropriate to enter the palace now, in case the eunuchs in the palace have any conspiracy and tricks, it will be extremely unfavorable to you, the general." Entering the palace, it is inconvenient for the general to mobilize troops and horses to escort him, if there is an accident, then how will our great cause of eliminating traitors be good? ”
"Meng De is worried, the queen is He's sister, and the brother and sister are affectionate. Some time ago, didn't a certain person go into the palace at night to talk to his sister? She has long supported me in the matter of eliminating adultery, and now she is urgently summoned, how can I not see it? If there's something big, I can't afford to delay. He Jin arched his hand to Cao Cao. Thank you Cao Cao for the reminder.
"Lord!"
A group of civil and military generals all said that they wanted to prevent He from entering the palace.
He Jin was rarely hearty, and said fearlessly: "What you mean, He understands it." But forgive those eunuchs and don't dare to do anything to General Ben? Strictly speaking, this is also an opportunity, if those eunuchs clearly said that they would hand over the power of the forbidden army to me, but I He Jin did not dare to accept it, wouldn't that mean that I He Jin was timid? In this way, how can General Ben achieve great things? Ladies and gentlemen, he is going! ”
He Jin finished speaking. He clenched his fist at everyone in the hall and sprinkled out.
He ordered dozens of soldiers to escort him, and entered the palace with the attendants who came to summon him.
Entering the palace, the soldiers of the city gate are respectful, but after entering the palace, those guards can no longer accompany them. He Jin didn't say much, leaving the guards behind. He Jin is still very clear about the rules of the palace. I entered the palace in the middle of the night, if I still brought a group of guards. I'm afraid it will also alarm the concubines in the palace. At present, the young emperor is young, and he has not yet established a concubine, the concubines of the first emperor, but they have not yet been placed in another place, and most of the palaces in the palace are still maintained in their original appearance, and the concubines of the first emperor are also in their original palaces.
Walk through the winding corridors of the court. Walking through the dazzling countless garden halls, He Jin was finally taken to a palace.
He Jin was full of joy all the way, he couldn't listen to the advice of Cao Cao and his generals at all, or rather, he disdained their advice. He Jin at this moment. was already full of confidence, thinking that this world, this big man, had already been in his hands. He is not too familiar with the garden layout in the palace and the direction of the palace, although he is the eldest brother of the queen, this does not mean that he can usually walk in the palace at will.
In the imperial palace, he was familiar with only the emperor's bedroom and the queen's palace. Along the way, he didn't realize that the place he came from was not the queen's palace, but a palace he had never been to.
Full of joy, thinking about entering the palace to see the queen, and then how he took over the talisman that could mobilize the forbidden army from the hands of Zhang Rang and other eunuchs, and how Zhang Rang and others had a humble face, He Jin suddenly woke up and noticed that the place he came from was wrong, and then he felt a little wrong.
When he was shocked, he heard a sound behind him, and the door of the temple was closed, and at the moment of closing, the surroundings also fell into silence with the closing of the temple door.
I don't know why, a cold sweat has broken out on He Jin's back, and he feels a chill all over his body.
Fortunately, there are palace lamps lit in the palace, so it won't be so dark that he doesn't know what to do. However, the candle flame in the palace lamp was beating strangely, flickering and flickering, which made He Jin feel a little frightened from the bottom of his heart.
He Jin suddenly grasped the saber and shouted, "Empress! Younger sister! ”
However, in the quiet hall, there was only the echo of his own shouting, and no one answered.
Choke!
He Jin drew his sword, hurriedly turned around, ran to the door of the palace, and pushed the door hard, but he couldn't push it. At this moment, he was really panicked, and a drop of cold sweat ran down his cheek from the corner of his forehead. Only now did he regret his rashness.
"Hehe, General He, don't come unharmed? If you come, you will be safe, Zhang really can't imagine that you really dare to enter the palace. ”
Behind He Jin, there was a sudden yin laugh.
He turned around abruptly and saw Zhang Rang and Duan Qi, one fat and one thin, tall and one short, standing in the shadow of the steps in front of the hall.
"Zhang Rang! What do you mean? When He Jin saw Zhang Rang, his mind was fixed, and he glared at Zhang Rang and said, "Why don't you see the queen?" ”
"Haha......"
"Hey......
Zhang Rang and Duan Qi let out a sinister laugh, and the two bodies with obvious differences trembled and trembled, as if they were unusually proud.
Zhang Rang said: "I don't know if I should call you stupid?" Or is it better for you to be conceited, and you believe in such a calling? You really dare to enter the palace, how can you say this? ”
Duan Jue said tightly: "This is called Heaven has a door for you not to leave, and Hell has no door to break into." ”
"What? How dare you? There's no way the queen could lie to me! Calling, it is indeed my sister's own hand! He Jin said sharply.
"Queen? Your sister? Hehe, can she point you out? Zhang Rang looked at He Jin with pitiful eyes, shook his head and said, "Tut, forget it, if we get acquainted, I won't be disgusting to you." We have been fighting each other for more than ten years, and now it is time to break down. ”
"Traitor! How dare you? He Jin finally fully understood the intentions of these eunuchs, he was a little remorseful at the moment, and now that he thought about it, even he himself couldn't understand why he entered the palace so rashly.
"Hmph, dare or not, it's not up to you to decide." Zhang Rang walked out of the shadows with his unhurried hands behind his back and said: "Don't think that I won't know about your secret plan, we all know every move and word you have when you enter the palace and Empress Dowager He, and you want to harm us?" You're still young. Originally, how can you be at ease, everyone can take what they need, and you can be safe, but you want to move us? Then don't blame us for striking first! ”
"Traitor, eunuch!" He Jin shouted angrily: "I! I'll let you be my sword ghost first! ”
He Jin said, roared, raised his sword and grabbed the front, to kill Zhang Rang first.
He Jin knew that this was a conspiracy from beginning to end, since they had been led here, and this Zhang Rang also appeared and said it clearly, he knew that this time, he might not be spared.
It's just that He Jin's heart is not very willing, he finally got the status he has today, and he has spent his whole life in the drill camp, so that he can enter the court and support the world's soldiers and horses, but in the hands of these damn eunuchs, with a small, ignorable little conspiracy, he took his own life, He Jin is really unwilling.
There are many opportunities, and these eunuchs could have been killed first, but because of his own indecision, many opportunities were lost in vain, so that now he is facing such a crisis.
As a general, He Jin naturally has a certain amount of martial arts, and he is not a complete bear bag. With his martial arts, ordinary thirty or twenty ordinary soldiers could not get close to him. Therefore, he wanted to fight hard and kill Zhang Rang and Duan Qi first.
However, He Jin's action was late, and when he pounced on Zhang Rang with his sword, countless forbidden soldiers suddenly poured out behind Zhang Rang and Duan Qi.
"Humph! Act recklessly! Since Zhang invited you here, he must be prepared, do you think that you are alone and still have a chance to escape? Zhang Rang said coldly.
"I'm mad at me! Kill! When the matter came, He Jin, who was not willing to bow his head, shouted loudly and waved his sword to meet the soldiers who rushed in.
But it's a pity that He Jin is not a super-first-class military general like Liu Yi or Tai Shici, Zhao Yun, etc. His martial arts were only learned when he was a teenager before, and he was barely a third-rate military general by practicing his strength when he was a butcher.
He was besieged by a flood of soldiers, and he couldn't parry the weapons attacking from all directions, and with a bang, one of He Jin's arms was cut off first.
Blood splattered from his short arm, and he almost fainted in a heart-piercing pain.
Beads of sweat the size of beans came out of He Jin's forehead, and his face was like gold paper, without a trace of blood.
Yes!
He Jin was so painful that he couldn't hold the sword in his hand steadily, and sat on the ground with his butt.
He Jin was really frightened at this moment, death may not be the most terrible, the terrible thing is that the pain of this broken arm makes him afraid that although the broken arm has been cut off from him, it is still trembling, which makes He Jin feel terrified.
In the past, when he was a butcher, when he cut off the limbs of animals with a knife, it seemed to be like this, at that time, he did not feel anything terrible, but felt that he would feel very happy when he watched animals hissing and jumping wildly because of pain, but now that he was holding his severed limbs, he knew what kind of pain it was.
Porphyry ......
The sound of slashing into the flesh, the screams of misery.
General He Jin was chopped into a pile of meat in the blink of an eye. To be continued......
