Chapter 004: The Eunuch Must Die and He Jin in History

[The eunuch must die]

In the Luoyang Rebellion in the sixth year of Zhongping (189), the eunuchs were slaughtered, and the most powerful and invincible political group in the Hengling era suffered a devastating blow and temporarily withdrew from the historical stage. In the short history of about 40 years in the Pan Hengling era, they killed three powerful relatives in a row, and twice the party beat the scholars and doctors to the point that they almost couldn't turn over. Whether it is Liang Ji who is in charge of the evil demons, Dou Wu who is a righteous man and a gentleman, or He Jin, an incompetent villain, as long as there is a threat to them, they will be eliminated without hesitation.

The eunuchs took advantage of the emperor's near-indulgent trust in them to cause chaos in the government, form factions for personal gain, and destroy those who obeyed and rebelled, and those who dared to hinder them were all overthrown. They wantonly reused their relatives, one person ascended to heaven, and cultivated their own henchmen everywhere in the country, making the entire court dark. After gaining political gains, they seized the opportunity to make a big profit, and through a series of measures, such as buying and selling officials, increasing exorbitant taxes and taxes, and even directly robbing and invading and annexing land, they gained huge wealth and a large amount of land. After the eunuchs were rich and powerful, they were not inferior to the royal family in terms of enjoying life, and even compared with each other, and the residences built in Luoyang City (i.e., Luoyang) had long exceeded the etiquette system.

The eunuchs caused chaos in the world and made the government into a pot of porridge, and the final result was that the burden was transferred to the ordinary people layer by layer, making the people miserable, and the people were miserable and hated the eunuchs; The two party battles, the tragic deaths of hundreds of innocent soldiers, the brutal suppression of the gate lord families by the eunuchs, and the farce of the dog walking official road. These accumulated hatreds are not forgotten by the scholars, they just hide them deep in their hearts, and they do not fail to report that the time has not come; The unscrupulous and reckless behavior of the eunuchs led by the "Five Marquis" and "Ten Standing Servants" made those relatives who were in power for a while have to be deeply jealous.

Zhang Rang once asked He Jin: "You said that the palace is filthy and dirty, and you don't look at who else below the minister is loyal and honest?" In fact, He Jin can reply here: "Haven't those loyal and honest ministers and scholars been killed by you a long time ago?" "So even if the eunuchs kill the first He Jin, there is still a second Yuan Shao, even if they kill Yuan Shao again, there will be a third and a fourth...... nth one. In short, the eunuch must die.

The eunuch must die, and not dying is not enough to make the people angry; The eunuch must die, and not dying is not enough to comfort the souls of those scholars who have died in vain in the past thirty years; Eunuchs must die, and even if they die, they cannot wash away their sins; The eunuchs must die, for they are the last martyrs of this dark dynasty that is about to end!

[Dong Zhuo picked peaches, and the eunuch inadvertently escaped death]

We can analyze here what would have happened if Dong Zhuo hadn't picked peaches in history, and the relatives led by He Jin or the scholars led by the Yuan family had successfully solved the problem of eunuchs controlling the imperial court?

At that time, it was unfortunate that Zhang Rang held the little emperor hostage and was taken away by Lu Zhi and Dong Zhuo on the way to escape, but as everyone knows, this is fortunate for the eunuchs, God closed one door and opened another door at the same time.

To analyze these problems, we must understand what He Jin and Yuan Shao wanted to do at that time? Some people may say that this is not very simple, that is, kill the eunuchs, kill them all, and then take control of the court. No, not exactly, the ultimate goal of He Jin, Yuan Shao and others is not so simple.

Let's recap what happened. He Jin was once ready to kill only some of the eunuchs who led the discord with him because of the strong opposition of the Empress Dowager He, but Yuan Shao strongly opposed it and demanded that the eunuchs be cut down to the roots; In August, after He Jin occupied an absolute advantage, he entered the palace to meet the Empress Dowager He, asked to punish the eunuchs, and then selected the three Lang to enter the palace to live in the eunuch's residence. In fact, Sanjulang already has the meaning of replacing eunuchs; Zhang Rang and other eunuchs once questioned He Jin: "Now I want to destroy my Cao race, isn't it too much?" (Isn't it too much to exterminate our eunuchs today?) )。

Everyone should be able to understand when they see this, He Jin and Yuan Shao not only want to kill all the eunuchs, but also want the eunuch system to become history to prevent the eunuchs' future revenge and the eunuchs' evil again.

They want to end the eunuch system and solve the eunuch problem once and for all, so as to further weaken the imperial power!

Could they have done this in that history? It's really possible.

First of all, at that time, the eunuchs were already rats on the streets, and everyone shouted and beat them, so it was not a problem to kill the eunuchs. And at that time, the little emperor had just ascended the throne, the imperial power was at a low ebb in history, and the Empress Dowager He had already been frightened by the mutiny, although she would still maintain the little emperor, but she was no longer able to protect the eunuchs, plus the evil of the eunuchs had been widely known, and even the emperor himself had been threatened by the eunuchs (Jian Shuo), here is a period of historical opportunity that can eradicate the eunuch system in one fell swoop.

He Jin and Yuan Shao almost seized this opportunity, if He Jin was more decisive at that time, if Zhang Rang failed to escape with the little emperor at that time, if Dong Zhuo didn't get them, it's a pity that there is no if in history. He Jin is dead, and the eunuchs are finished, and at this time, Yuan Shao and the others have no time or energy to think about the future of the eunuchs, because a new big boss has appeared.

【He Jin in History】

He Jin only had the talent of a civilian in history, but he relied on his sister to become a powerful general in the government and the opposition. This is his luck and his misfortune.

He Jin is very scummy as the leader of one party, indecisive, always unable to make up his mind, at the critical moment, he knew that he was going to kill all the eunuchs, but he was easily killed by the eunuchs, which is too careless; obviously has a large number of staff officers, but he can't make decisions at all, he wastes everyone's talents, and his strategy can't be said to be excellent; In the end, under Yuan Shao's reminders, he was killed so easily by the eunuchs, which is obviously a manifestation of political immaturity; As a general who commanded the overall situation, he finally put down the Yellow Turban Uprising, and after his death, his subordinates also actively avenged him, showing that He Jin was supported by his subordinates.
