Chapter 145: He Jin Dies
Xiao Qi escaped from the palace and was about to get out of the city, but found that the city gate was closed, so in desperation, he had to change his name and hide in hiding, but he planned to wait for the opportunity and flee again.
In the days that followed, another major event took place in the palace.
He Jin killed Empress Dowager Dong on the grounds of interfering in politics!
Since then, only the eunuchs to whom Zhang Rang and other ten permanent servants belong to the palace remained, and the rest were in the hands of He Jin and He Hou.
The death of Empress Dowager Dong caused panic among Zhang Rang and others, but because of He Jin's great momentum, Zhang Rang and others had to endure it and live in seclusion.
He entered the mansion, and more than a dozen people gathered together.
"Now that only the eunuchs in the palace have not been eliminated, what do you think should be done?"
As the saying goes, people are in good spirits when they are happy, and he is in the auxiliary government, when he is refreshed, but now he is worried and hesitant.
"General, I thought the eunuchs were not enough to be afraid!" Yuan Shao clenched his fists slightly, and said: "Although the eunuch party controls the palace, the general holds the army, and with just a military order, the eunuch party will be crushed into ashes in an instant." β
"No!"
Cao Ying, who was opposite Yuan Shao, stood up and said: "The Son of Heaven is in the palace, if the general waives his army into the palace, it is difficult to guarantee that the eunuchs will not take risks, if they hurt the Son of Heaven, how can it be good?" β
He Jin originally listened to Yuan Shao's words, his face showed a sudden expression, and he was about to respond, but when he heard Cao Shao's words, he suddenly fell silent. The person he relies on is nothing more than the identity of the uncle of the Son of Heaven, and if the Son of Heaven is no more, he is nothing.
"Hehehehe"
At this time, a young man who looked like a scholar next to Yuan Shao laughed.
"Mr. Xu" He Jin saw that this person was smiling confidently, and his eyes couldn't help but light up, and said, "Mr. Xu, does he have a clever plan to teach me?" β
"General," Xu You bowed and said, "Since you can't do it too intensely, and you can't help it, why not do it?" β
"Compromise?" He Jin groaned slightly and said, "Mr. Xu, please elaborate." β
Xu You stood up and walked back and forth a few steps, with a celebrity demeanor, he stroked his three-inch short beard, and said with a smile: "The reason why Zhang Rang and other eunuchs are afraid of the generals is nothing more than two reasons. First, the Son of Heaven is in the palace; Second, the eunuch protΓ©gΓ©s are all over the world, and the forces are mixed and tangled, and it is difficult to pull them out. Right? β
"Not bad." He Jin replied.
"So, why doesn't the general do this?" Xu Yu said: "Don't pay attention to the eunuchs in the palace, just uproot their protΓ©gΓ©s and former officials, and they will draw salaries from the bottom of the kettle, so this eunuch party is not to worry!" β
"Makes sense! Makes sense! β
He Jin was overjoyed, stroking his palms and laughing.
Seeing this, Xu You's smug look flashed, and then he said: "The eunuch party controls the inner palace, and there are quite a few people in his hands. The army under the command of the general cannot be completely victorious, and there are still variables. If you don't send someone to send a letter again, please soldier Qin Wang, when the time comes, the two will be combined, and the eunuch party will collapse itself! β
"No!"
Cao Ying stood up violently and shouted: "It's easy to invite God and it's hard to send God, if the person who invited you has ulterior motives and doesn't leave, how can you deal with yourself?" β
"I am a general, who dares not to listen to the general's orders?" He Jin waved his hand and shouted: "General Ben can transfer people into Beijing, and he can also let him go out obediently!" β
"But" Cao Ying wanted to say more, but was interrupted by He Jin!
"Cao Mengde, do you doubt the majesty of General Ben?!"
Cao Ying was helpless, so he had to look at the people who were doing it, hoping that someone would echo him, so as to dispel He Jin's thoughts, but no one spoke.
Cao Ying was angry and threw his sleeves away!
After Cao Ying left, the rest of the people stopped talking.
So, He Jin immediately sent someone to the palace to ask for the holy decree, and then ordered to arrest the eunuch protΓ©gΓ©s nationwide, and at the same time issued a secret decree to summon Ding Yuan and Dong Zhuo of Xiliang to lead troops into King Qin!
In an instant, the wind surged, and countless officials of the eunuch family fell one after another, especially the family of the ten permanent servants, who were all wiped out!
At this moment, the Ten Standing Servants were panicked, but more angry and hateful.
So, the Ten Standing Attendants gathered together to discuss how to deal with the current situation.
In the palace, Zhang Rang's residence.
Ten permanent attendants gathered together.
"Everyone, you must have all known the actions of He Jin thief, right?" Zhang Rang's face was expressionless.
"Hmph, He Jin is a thief, he is ruthless, even more so than us, he is simply a beast!" Duan Jue scolded loudly: "My family has been killed, and the chickens and dogs are not left!" β
"Hateful, hateful!"
The rest of them all gritted their teeth, and their words were extremely vicious.
"In that case, if you want to do something to us, what are your plans to help us get through this difficult time?" Zhang Rang's face was still indifferent.
"He Jin's move made it clear that he wanted to put us and die, since he wants us to die, it's better for us to strike first and kill him!" Zhao Zhong waved his hand, very ruthless.
"It's not easy to kill He Jin!" Zhang Rang frowned and said: "He didn't dare to enter the palace alone, and I didn't dare to leave the palace, but I couldn't do anything." β
"No!" Song Dian drank: "There is a person who can make He Jin enter the palace lightly!" β
"Empress Dowager He?!" Zhang rang's eyes lit up and he pondered.
After a while, Zhang Rang said to Chang Attendant: "You go and gather the troops now, get ready, I will go to see the Queen Mother, state the benefits, and make sure that she summons He Jin into the palace." β
After speaking, Zhang Rang strode out and went straight to **.
In the middle of the Tai**, the Empress Dowager He was pretending to sleep, and suddenly a palace maid came to report, saying that Zhang Rang asked to see her.
He Hou frowned and said, "Please let him in." β
After a few breaths, Zhang Rang entered the palace, stood up straight, and faced Queen He.
"Queen Mother."
He Hou nodded and said, "Zhang Changzhi is here, what do you have to say?" β
"Jean is here to save the Queen Mother!" Zhang Rang looked at He Hou and said seriously.
"Oh? Hehehe" He Hou laughed: "Zhang Changshi, didn't you oversleep and haven't woken up yet?" β
Zhang Rang shook his head, still very serious: "Does the Queen Mother know about the general's actions?" β
"General?" He Hou shook his head and frowned: "I don't know about the mourning family." β
"The general recently issued an edict to eliminate dissidents, and if you don't want to come, you will be in charge of the government alone!" Zhang Rang added fuel to He Jin's various actions.
"So what? The general is the elder brother of the mourning family, and it is normal to help his nephew take charge of the government and clear the obstacles. He Hou seemed unmoved, but in fact, his eyes were flickering, and he didn't know what he was thinking.
The corners of Zhang Rang's mouth curled slightly, and said: "The Son of Heaven is the Son of Heaven of the Liu family, not the Son of the He family." Why did the general do his best to help the Son of Heaven? Since the founding of the Han Dynasty, have there been few examples of relatives suppressing the royal family? Let me think that the general's move is not only to help the Son of Heaven, but to set up the Son of Heaven and take charge of the world alone! β
"You" stopped talking.
Zhang Rang said: "If the situation is declining today, there is a tendency to change the dynasty. If the general is completely in control of the government, he may not have the heart to overthrow the Han Dynasty and rebuild the new dynasty. At that time, how will the Queen Mother deal with it? How did the Son of Heaven deal with it? I hope that the Queen Mother will think a lot, and Zhang Rang will say it all. β
Empress Dowager He was stunned.
Yes, if there is a change of dynasty, how can he re-establish a new dynasty, and how should he deal with it? The queen mother of the Han Dynasty, or He Jin's sister?
No!
No way!
This world belongs to his son Liu Bian, and no one can take it away!
He later remembered that all these years of conspiracy and intrigue were all in order to make his son ascend to the throne? If the Han Dynasty is overthrown, her hard work will be completely in vain!
We must stop He Jin!
Empress Dowager He made up her mind, and her face was resolute - whoever wants to argue with Liu will die!
"Zhang Changshi, you say, what do you want to do to mourn the family?"
When Zhang Rang heard this, he breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, a trace of joy flashed on his face, and said: "As long as the Queen Mother decrees that the general will come to the palace quietly, there are important matters to discuss." β
"What are you going to do?" Hearing this, He Hou hesitated for a moment and asked.
"As long as the queen mother introduces the general into the palace, I and other regular servants will rush up, take him, and put him under house arrest. Since then, I will only obey the order of the Queen Mother! β
Zhang Jean drew a huge pie.
He Hou thought for a moment, nodded slowly, and said, "Remember, you can't hurt the brother of the mourning family." β
"The Queen Mother is relieved."
Immediately, Empress Dowager He asked people to take pen, ink, paper, and inkstones, repair a book, and sent someone to the general's mansion. Seeing this, Zhang Rang left at the right time, gathered his subordinates, and ambushed in Tai**.
When He Jin received the handwritten letter from the Empress Dowager He, he wanted to enter the palace immediately, but was stopped by Yuan Shao.
"General, you can't enter the palace!" Yuan Shao said solemnly: "The palace is controlled by the eunuchs, it is too dangerous!" β
He Jin shook his head in denial, and said: "This is the Empress Dowager's handwriting, and General Ben recognizes it." Do you think the Queen Mother will harm General Ben? β
Yuan Shao stopped talking. If it is affirmed, it is the relationship between brothers and sisters, and if it is negative, then there is no reason to prevent He Jin from entering the palace. I had no choice but to watch He Jin leave.
After a moment of silence, Yuan Shao's heart moved, turned around and got on his horse, and ran towards the place where the Xiyuan army was stationed.
He Jin was lightly dressed and simple, entered the palace through the side door, and under the guidance of the little eunuch sent by He Hou, he cautiously went to **.
After all, the palace is the territory of the eunuchs, and he is not a stupid person, so he naturally knows what to do.
Soon, the Queen Mother's bedroom was in sight, He Jin breathed a sigh of relief, walked into the palace, raised his eyes and saw that the Queen Mother He was sitting upright, and was about to step forward, but heard a loud shout from the surroundings:
"Take down the thief!"
In an instant, dozens of knife and axe hands poured out from the darkness, and they couldn't help but say, and instantly divided He Jin's body with a knife!
Seeing this, He Hou was shocked and was about to scold, but was stopped by Zhang Rang, and then placed under house arrest!
After He Jin, Zhang Rang was overjoyed, holding He Jin's unrecognizable head in one hand, strode out of the **, and went to the front hall.
Suddenly, there was a shout of killing outside the palace gate, Zhang Rang was startled, lifted his head, and turned to walk towards the palace gate.
When I arrived at the palace gate, I went up to the city tower, and when I looked around, I saw tens of thousands of troops below rushing over under the leadership of Yuan Shao.
"Eunuch thief, quickly send the general out intact, otherwise you will die!"
Yuan Shao shouted and scolded.
"Yuan Shao's little thief, this is the palace, Xiao'er dares to attack with troops, he is a big rebel, and he should punish the nine clans!" Zhang Rang replied loudly, then threw He Jin's head down, and drank: "He Jin's thief wants to kill the new emperor, and he has been taken down and executed by Benhou, so you can return to the station as soon as possible, and you must not disturb the trouble, otherwise the country will deal with it!" β
"Zhang Eunuch!"
Yuan Shao saw that the army's heart was shaken, and he couldn't help but be anxious: "The eunuch controls the palace, puts the Queen Mother under house arrest, and rudely kills the general, but he is a thief who is in trouble!" Everyone, take advantage of the situation to enter the palace, exterminate the eunuchs, and return the Han Dynasty to a clear level, you are heroes, Your Majesty will definitely reward you! β
When Xiyuan Jun heard this, he immediately settled down.
You must know that the notoriety of the eunuch party has long spread all over the world, and they believe in Yuan Shao!
So, under the leadership of Yuan Shao, the 30,000 army broke through the palace gate at a very fast speed, killed Zhang Rang, and then killed the palace.
Seeing that there was nothing to do, Zhang Rang immediately joined Duan Qi and others, kidnapped the Queen Mother, the Son of Heaven and King Chen Liu, and escaped from the North Gate of Luoyang.
By this time, it was night.
Zhang Rang and others took the Empress Dowager Chen Liuwang and went straight to Xiaopingjin on the side of the Beibi Mountain.
After Yuan Shao killed the eunuchs in the palace, but did not find Zhang Rang and others and the Empress Dowager of Heaven, he was in a hurry, and hurriedly gathered an army to follow and track, vowing to save the Son of Heaven.
