"General, now that the eunuch has been conferred the head, let's directly lead the army into the palace and kill the rest of the eunuchs." Yuan Shao saw that the matter was about to come to fruition, and said to He Jin excitedly.

"The original words are exactly what I want, pass on my military orders! Enter the palace and kill the eunuchs! He Jin gave orders with a spring breeze on his face, but He Jin didn't see Cao Ying and the others on the side of him with that kind of commanding attitude, and there was already some unhappiness on his face.

At this time, in the Luoyang Palace, Zhang Rang, Zhao Zhong and others, who had already been rushed to the palace by He Jin, were as anxious as ants on a hot pot.

"Why is this so useless? In vain, he boasted that he was good at commanding troops, but he still didn't subdue all the Eighth Army in Xiyuan for nearly a year after he became a military captain, and now that he is dead, it is easy, what should we do next? Zhao Zhong said anxiously.

Zhang Rang, the most authoritative of the ten permanent attendants, thought for a long time and said softly: "Don't panic! We may not have failed yet, we can still defect to He Jin's sister Empress He. ”

Zhao Zhong was shocked: "Queen He? You also know that she is He Jin's sister, let's go to her, if she hands us over directly to He Jin, then won't we fall into the net and die faster? ”

Zhang Rangyin smiled: "Empress He is not a stupid person, once all of us eunuchs die, then ninety percent of the power of the entire Luoyang Imperial Court will fall into the hands of her brother He Jin, and even if her son Liu Wei becomes the emperor, what if then?" Isn't it the puppet of the great general He Jin? We just need to talk about the benefits, and Queen He will definitely protect us after He enters the palace. ”

After listening to what Zhang Rang said, the eunuchs couldn't help but say that it was wonderful, because without further ado, all the eunuchs surrounded Zhang Rang and marched towards the palace where Empress He lived.

"The old slave Zhang Rang led all the palace stewards and eunuchs to see Queen He." Zhang Rang took the lead in saluting.

"See Empress Ho." The eunuchs followed Zhang Rang and saluted together.

"Yo, what kind of wind is blowing you all today? It's rare to see you all in person. "It's no wonder that Empress He was sarcastic, it was because Empress He was disgusted by Emperor Han Ling because of Wang Meiren's affairs before, and a big eunuch like Zhang Rang Zhao Zhong would not risk angering the emperor to come here to visit Empress He, so it is reasonable for Empress He to be sarcastic.

Zhang Rang and the others knew that this was also well, so they were not surprised, and this time they had a request for Queen He, so they behaved more respectfully: "The queen said that she laughed, and said that we were just afraid of disturbing the queen's purity, so we didn't visit, if the queen didn't think we were noisy, we would definitely visit in the future." ”

"Alright, that's all for respect. Say, "What are you people doing here?" Empress He knew that Zhang Rang and the others would definitely go to the Three Treasures Hall for nothing, so she was very curious why Zhang Rang came here at this time.

Zhang Rang smiled and said: "The old slave and the others are not here for anything else, but to save the queen's ears." ”

"Zhang Rang! Are you intimidating Hongu? Queen He slapped the case and shouted loudly, "You tell me what is in this palace that you need to save, if it doesn't make sense, when the brother of this palace comes, I will let him kill you first!" ”

Zhang Rang said slowly without panic: "I think it won't be long before I wait for me to die, Queen He, you won't live long, because your brother won't let you live long." ”

Empress He didn't show too much panic after hearing Zhang Rang's words, she continued to ask: "The reason why you said that my brother would kill this palace is because you want to say that he will rebel and become emperor, right?" Hehehe, to tell you the truth, my brother I know very well, he won't do this at all, because he simply doesn't have that courage and guts! ”

Zhang Rang laughed and said: "Maybe the general He Jin doesn't have that guts at that time, but the children of the family under him who want to get high-ranking officials and lords will fill him with the courage he lacks!" At that time, Queen He, there is no way for you to regret it, because now only we eunuchs in this Luoyang have a certain strength to compete with He Jin, once we are killed, you and the eldest prince Liu Wei can only become the puppet of the general He Jin, the general wants your mother and son to give birth to you, you are born, but if the general wants you to die, what can you do to resist? ”

"This" Queen He hesitated, even if that person was the eldest brother she knew well, Queen He couldn't say for sure that there would never be a cannibalistic tragedy in the end. Because she knew that the great temptation related to the throne was something few people could resist.

"Now the life and death of our people are all in the hands of you, Queen He." Zhang Rang saw that Empress He had already moved, and hurriedly said while the iron was hot.

Empress He looked at the eunuchs kneeling in front of her in front of her, and thought to herself: "Even if these eunuchs are in power, they will not be able to threaten themselves and Wei'er, but once they die, what will she do if there is a situation like what they said in the future?" ’

Thinking of this, Empress He slowly sat back and said majestically: "You go quickly to prepare the frame for the palace, I will go to the south gate to see my brother, you can also go with me, and I will let my brother spare your life when the time comes." ”

"Thank you for saving your life." Hearing Empress He's words, Zhang Rang, Zhao Zhong and the others finally fell in their hearts.

"Don't be in a hurry to thank you, although I can promise to save your life, but you must follow my conditions." Empress He smiled like a fox.

"On what terms?"

"Do so at once, or everything I have just said will be null and void." Empress He said firmly.

After Zhang Rang and the others glanced at each other, they gritted their teeth and said, "Just do it according to the queen's wishes." ”

When the general He Jin led the Luoyang Xiyuan Army to the palace gate and was about to attack forcibly, the palace suddenly blew the drum music of the emperor's travel, which made the general He Jin who had already learned that Emperor Han Ling had died and the soldiers of the Xiyuan Army were shocked for a while, and when everyone looked at it and found that what came out of the city gate was not the weak but majestic figure in the past, but a young emperor who was about ten years old, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

Everyone waited for the frame to get closer and found that the person sitting on it was the eldest prince Liu Wei. And although there was a bead curtain hanging on the exquisite and luxurious frame behind Liu Bian, everyone guessed that it was Queen He, the biological mother of the eldest prince Liu Bian.

"Didn't the general say that the eunuch party secretly tampered with the edict of Emperor Xiaoling, and appointed the young prince Liu Xie as the emperor? Why is the eldest prince Liu Wei the emperor now! Wouldn't it be a rebellion for us to attack the palace gate? Most of the sergeants below were loyal to the unification of the Han Dynasty, and when they saw that the person who came was Liu Wei, the successor appointed by the edict of Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty, as the general He Jin said, they panicked for a while.

The general He Jin had to take the generals to kneel down in front of Liu Wei's frame and said: "General He Jin led the generals of Luoyang to see my emperor, long live my emperor, long live, long live!" ”

As soon as he was called out of the bed by his mother, he was forcibly changed into a dragon robe that he had only dared to watch from afar, and now he saw the thousands of tiger soldiers in front of him asking for peace, Liu Wei was speechless for a while.

"Ahem! Cough! Cough! Seeing that her son was so useless, Queen He in the back couldn't help but cough loudly a few times in a little anxious.

"Ah, that, Zhong Aiqing doesn't need to be polite, hurry up." Under the reminder of his mother, Liu Wei finally came to his senses and hurriedly asked the many soldiers below to get up.

"Brother, what do you want to do now with so many tigers and bent in this palace forbidden place at this time?" Queen He and others in the back all got up and took the lead in attacking.

"Well, sister, I heard the news from you, so I hurriedly came here with a large army, and I am ready to kill the eunuchs in one fell swoop and assist the eldest prince to ascend the throne as the emperor. But I didn't expect that when I came, the eldest prince would have already ascended the throne as the emperor, which I didn't expect a little. He Jin really didn't expect Liu Wei to come out to meet himself and the soldiers as the emperor, although Liu Wei has not completed the etiquette of becoming the Son of Heaven according to the ceremony, but because he has already told the soldiers about the non-existent edict of Emperor Han Ling, so now Liu Wei is already a real emperor in everyone's hearts.

"So my brother is here for this. In fact, all the instigators of that incident were Jian Shuo alone, and the rest of the people were threatened by him. After his brother killed him, Zhang Rang and the others had already helped the palace clean up most of the opponents in the palace, so brother, you can already leave with these armies. Empress He said to He Jin in an indifferent tone.

After listening to Empress He's words, the general He Jin was unwilling, this is a golden opportunity to eliminate the eunuch party, and if he misses this opportunity, he wants to wait until the next time, and he doesn't know what year or month it is.

"Brother, don't you forget that if it weren't for eunuchs like Zhang Rang and Zhao Zhong, this palace and you would be able to enjoy this glory and wealth?" Empress Dowager He continued to persuade.

"But that Zhang let the eunuchs do all the evil and make the heavens angry and resentful, if I can't kill them today, then Luoyang An can be pacified? How can the world be peaceful? He Jin obviously didn't take Empress Dowager He's words to heart.

"General He! Don't you even obey the orders of the main palace? Do you still have a big man in your eyes? Empress He suddenly shouted.

"Hehe, how dare I not listen to the will of the Queen Mother? But whether to kill the eunuchs or not depends on whether these sergeants behind me obey the order. He Jin narrowed his eyes, this was the first time he had seen his sister dare to speak to him in such a tone.

"Humph! Listen to the soldiers, you must know that this world is the world of the descendants of the Liu family, and your allegiance should also be the emperor of this palace! Now this palace has issued an order for the emperor, so that you will return to the camp and stand by, and if there is any disobedience, you will be punished according to the crime of plotting rebellion!! Empress Dowager He obviously had an extraordinary skill, and after a few words, eighty percent of the soldiers behind He Jin silently turned around and left, leaving only some die-hard soldiers of He Jin.

"This, alas, the troops are ordered to withdraw and return to the camp!" The general He Jin saw from his sister's tone that she was dissatisfied with him, so he had no choice but to retreat, after all, now the time and place are not in his hands, if he insists on forcibly entering the palace, I am afraid that this little sergeant under him may not be the opponent of the palace guards, and once the two sides move the sword soldiers, there will be no room for turn.

"General!" Yuan Shao and others were a little unwilling.

"Don't talk about it! Retire!! He Jin waved his hand irritably, and he took the lead in riding his horse towards the General's Mansion.

In the sixth year of Hanzhongping, March 189 AD. Emperor Ling of Han died of illness in the palace of Luoyang, Emperor Ling of Han ordered his youngest son Liu Xie to inherit the emperor's throne, but because the general He Jin strongly killed Emperor Ling of Han and left Liu Xie's army commander Jian Shuo, so Emperor Ling of Han did not achieve his will, and in the end it was the eldest son Liu Wei who inherited the emperor's throne and was Emperor Shao of Han. After Emperor Shao of the Han Dynasty ascended the throne, he respected his biological mother, Empress He, as the queen mother. As for the hundred officials Liu Wei, in addition to canonizing Wang Yun as Situ, there are not too many rewards, including He Jin.
