Chapter 17: The Change of Luoyang
Two flowers bloomed, each with a branch, and said that Dong Zhuo led 100,000 Northwest Army to advance to Luoyang, originally according to the emperor's notice, only allowed Dong Zhuo to lead some generals into Beijing to listen to the seal, but Dong Zhuo was suspicious by nature, and he couldn't help but be a little worried, and Dong Zhuo's cronies in the court also sent a letter, saying that the court was mysterious and secretive, and there were military attachΓ©s and ministers who were persecuted, and the initiators were Zhang Rang and other ten people.
In the later period of the Han Dynasty, in fact, it has been mediocre and rotten to the extreme, the eunuchs are in power, the relatives are in power, the courtiers are in power, the emperor has a bit of a fictitious meaning, eunuchs, relatives, courtiers have a long history of contention, and the Ling Emperor period, especially the eunuchs are the most active, they are in charge of the inner court, bewitching the emperor, and even in and out of the court, for the officials to be the minister, and Zhang Rang and other ten people are the head, the official residence is a permanent servant, cholera government, kill the different party, and the eunuch and the courtiers have the deepest hatred, crush each other, and among the courtiers, belong to the military generals are the most radical, Therefore, Zhang Rang's spearhead was pointed at the generals and generals in the court, dozens of people were persecuted one after another, and the Yellow Turban Army undoubtedly created many reasons for Zhang Rang, and the court was defeated and retreated, which was the best time for the party to fight against differences, and for a while the courtiers were in danger, and the general He Jin at that time was also affected.
He Jin was originally a butcher, selling dog meat with a sheep's head in the market, a little clever, and later his sister married into the palace, was named a nobleman, and gave birth to the son of Emperor Ling, a chubby son Liu Wei, instantly the mother with her son, suddenly became the queen of the palace, and He Jin was also stained with a lot of light, directly reused by the imperial court, the official worshiped the general, a person with a pig-killing knife estimated that the war was not very bright, and at that time, the yellow turban thief was windy, He Jin was obligated to go to the battlefield, but after a few days of high spirits, After losing the battle, He Jin recommended Dong Zhuo, saying, "This person is brave and combative, and the army of tigers and wolves in the Northwest Army will definitely win", but recommending a Dong Zhuo could not erase He Jin's defeat, and Zhang Rang and others grabbed He Jin's pigtail and held on to it.
At that time, Emperor Ling was dead, and He Jin supported his eldest nephew Liu Wei as the emperor, and Liu Wei was too young to deal with the government, and the power fell into the hands of He Jin's sister Empress He, but this Empress He obviously trusted the eunuch and did not believe in her general brother, and when He Jin saw that things were dangerous, he suddenly became ill-willed.
He Jin conspired, "His eunuch slaughtered me Zhongliang, how could I not kill him eunuch, now there are soldiers and generals in his hands, he can completely kill into the palace and slaughter those eunuchs who bewitched the queen", and at this time, He Jin's lower head flashed out of a young man with a sword, "The general can't do this, the queen favors the eunuchs, there are still royal forest troops in the court that are not controlled by the general, and the men and horses rush into the forbidden city, it will definitely cause chaos, and for a while, I don't know how many virtuous people will be killed in vain, and the general's trip is not at all like the side of the Qing monarch, but the army is rebelling", And He Jin frowned, "What is Mengde's good plan?" βγ
The young man who was called Meng De said lightly, "The rebellion of the eunuchs is not unique to this dynasty, the first Zhao Gao pointed to the deer as a horse, and even more, and when the first emperor was there, Zhao Gao was also a respectful and humble look, so the rebellion of the eunuchs was completely due to the young emperor's young age, and he could not be pro-government, and in time, the young emperor grew up and took back the power in the hands of the eunuchs, and the eunuch rebellion ended without a problem."
He Jin smiled, "When the young emperor is in power, I'm afraid that He Mou's head will be rotten to ashes, but Meng De's words still have some truth, except for the law of eunuchs, you have to think about it carefully, not recklessly."
Later, He Jin used his own unique thick black science to think of another idea, and at this time, Dong Zhuo defeated Zhang Jiaojun and was waiting to be rewarded, and He Jin quietly sent a letter to Dong Zhuo.
Dong Zhuo sat in Qingzhou, and happened to receive three letters from Luoyang, and when he was about to open it to see, a person who looked like an elegant scholar walked in, shaking a fan, although there was an ice storage in Dong Zhuo's mansion to cool off, but this scholar-like person still walked in front of Dong Zhuo unhurriedly shaking the fan.
"My son-in-law came just in time, and now the Sprinkle family has received three letters, which letter do you say is better to open first?"
That elegant scholar is Dong Zhuo's son-in-law and his think tank Li Ru, Li Ru chuckled, "No need to dismantle it, Li Ru already knows what the content is."
Dong Zhuo sat on a carved wooden Taishi chair, puzzled, "How can my son-in-law know!" βγ
"The person guarding the door just now has already told me, three letters, one from the general He Jin, one from the permanent servant Zhang Rang, and the other is also from Luoyang, it is estimated that it is the father-in-law's cronies in Beijing, so it is not difficult to guess the content, the father-in-law's cronies are naturally talking about some court matters, which belong to the details, and what General He Jin said must be to let his father-in-law take advantage of the victory in Qingzhou to lead the troops to approach Jinggi, create pressure on the eunuchs, force them to delegate power, and also give a warning to the Empress Dowager He, and what Zhang Rang said is the same, However, the object was passed on to He Jin, and he must have promised his father-in-law great benefits! βγ
After Dong Zhuo listened, he hurriedly opened the envelope, "What the letter says is not too bad, but both parties promise to give benefits to the old man, how to weigh it?" βγ
Li Ru put down the fan in his hand, it seemed that the midsummer weather was not hot at the moment, "What is my father-in-law's plan, now the two tigers are fighting, watching from the wall, waiting for the time when both are defeated, show the butcher knife, slaughter the two tigers, effortlessly!" Li Ru stopped the fan in his hand and directly made a murderous gesture.
Dong Zhuo Ha laughed, "It's still my son-in-law's brilliant plan, and it's exactly what I want."
In Luoyang City, above the temple, He Jin was already thinking about using Dong Zhuo's military horses to force the queen to take a step back, depose the eunuchs, and exile from the imperial city, and Zhang Rang was also planning to use Dong Zhuo's military horses to force He Jin to submit, at least first hand over the military power, and then when the two phalanxes were secretly competing against each other, they found that Dong Zhuo had already stationed troops on the outskirts of Luoyang, but he did not enter the city, and he was very leisurely, and he was not in a hurry about his edict at all.
First of all, He Jin couldn't sit still, and under the pretense of the general's order, he ordered Dong Zhuo to enter Beijing and punish the traitor, but Dong Zhuo pretended to be sick, that is, he didn't enter the city, and Zhang Rang was also in a hurry, but he had already seen Dong Zhuo's little bit of cattiness, and was ready to do it himself, called hundreds of Imperial Forest Army in the Forbidden Garden, and ambushed in front of the main hall of the court, but the Queen Mother found a little clue, teaching Zhang Rang, and he was not angry, "He Jin is my brother, although the two of you are not compatible, it is not like this", there is the Queen Mother, a peacemaker, Zhang Rang naturally didn't dare to make a big move, but after He Jin learned about this matter, he was furious, and after that, there were more than 100 armored sergeants accompanying him, and he didn't dare to be sloppy, and He Jin also felt more and more that the situation was rigorous, and he had to fight quickly, and still risked his life to tell the Queen Mother, abolish the eunuchs, and depose the exile, but the Queen Mother's attitude changed unexpectedly, just said, "This matter can be discussed!" βγ
He Jin's attitude towards this sister changed a little, which surprised He Jin, but the matter has come to this point, there is a Dong Zhuo in the suburbs of Gyeonggi City, and there is also a Zhang Rang in Gyeonggi City, which really makes He Jin have a big head, but what he doesn't know is that a carelessness may kill someone.
Zhang Rang is an old fox, he knows that Dong Zhuo must be waiting for the opportunity, so he wants to create the opportunity, since Dong Zhuo hesitates because he is afraid of betting on the wrong treasure, then he has to let Dong Zhuo see that he is the potential of the high-performance stock, so he has to start first, after the previous things in the court were revealed, he had another countermeasure, took the initiative to show softness to the queen, and pretended to be the queen's mouth, and then tricked He Jin into the harem, and the harem is his Zhang Rang's world at all, but it is not the time to be caught.
He Jin entered from the north gate of the palace and led hundreds of military armor, but when he entered the queen mother's inner palace, there were a few maids who hindered General He Jin, "The queen's inner garden, you can't enter the army armor soldiers, please scold the general!" βγ
And He Jin thought about it, his sister's residence, what kind of bodyguards do you want to accompany him, he retreated left and right, and walked into the queen's inner garden alone, and the deputy general at that time also reminded the general, "Since it is inconvenient for everyone to accompany you, please take the left and right deputy generals", He Jin waved his hand and stepped into the courtyard of his sister's bedroom.
He Jin entered the queen's courtyard with the front foot, and the gate in the courtyard of the back foot was closed tightly, and when He Jin looked back to see what was going on, the Imperial Forest Army who rushed out on the side unloaded He Jin into eight pieces with a knife, and the sergeant behind the gate heard He Jin's screams, and rushed in together, only to see General He Jin's head rolling down in a pool of blood, at this time, He Jin's lieutenant shouted, "The gelding dog harmed my general, and killed them all", Zhang Rang saw that the big thing was not good, and immediately fled, And the three hundred soldiers He Jin brought with him slaughtered the palace alive, but whenever he saw people, whether it was a eunuch or a eunuch or a eunuch, anyway, it was a palace that was cut and greedy, and it suddenly became purgatory, and Queen He was also killed in the chaos, and even the young emperor Liu Wei was lost.
The news that General He Jin was killed by eunuchs in the palace spread all over Luoyang City at once, and those generals who were usually bullied by eunuchs also entered the palace one after another, killing people who did not have long beards, even eight or nine-year-old children, and there was a person who looked like an iron armor, and slashed a newly eunuch with a knife, only to find, "What about the young emperor?" The person who said this was called Yuan Shao, who was originally a halberd under General He Jin, who was in charge of some travel honor guards, but this Yuan Shao had an excellent background, so He Jin promoted him to become a captain in the army, so He Jin had the grace of knowing him, so he also rushed to avenge He Jin early in the morning.
After Yuan Shao found out that the young emperor was gone, he searched for people all over the palace, pulled every dead body, and drummed around every corner.
Zhang Rang was a rabbit, and when he saw that something was wrong, he immediately slipped away, and his direction of escape turned out to be the suburbs of Luoyang, Dong Zhuo's camp.
A fast horse hurriedly rushed into the camp of the Northwest Army, and before he could shout "Dong Zhuo help", he was killed by a Fang Tian painting halberd, and when he turned around, he saw a handsome general standing behind him, and the eight-foot Fang Tian painting halberd in his hand was inserted into Zhang Rang's chest, and before he had time to vomit a mouthful of blood, he hung up on his back.
"Feng Xian is good at martial arts!" , a man shaking a fan, approached and looked at the figure of the so-called head of the ten permanent servants.
Lu Bu gently retracted his right hand, and Fang Tian's halberd was pulled out of Zhang Rang's cavity, and suddenly a stream of blood that had not yet cooled sprayed Li Ru's face, but Li Ru was not angry, and touched the blood on his face, "It is said that the blood of this eunuch is not the red of ordinary people, it seems that it is nothing more than that!" Then Ha Lu Ha Da Lu smiled, as if he was quite proud, "It seems that Luoyang City belongs to Dong Zhuo Xiangye!" βγ
