Chapter 159: The eunuch He Jin died
"Just according to your words!" Dong Zhuo laughed loudly when he heard this, and after laughing, Dong Zhuo's face turned whole and said: "The generals will listen to the order!" Niu Fu, I order you to guard Liangzhou. Li Dao, Guo Yan, Zhang Ji, Fan Chou, 200,000 soldiers, ready to send troops to Luoyang! ”
"The last general obeys!" The five Niu Fu immediately bowed down to receive the order, and there was a hint of surprise in their eyes. If Dong Zhuo wins the world, they will be the ministers of the dragon!
Li Ru said with a smile: "Father-in-law, although I am under the edict today, there is a lot of darkness in the middle. Why don't you send someone to the table, the name is right, and the big things can be done. ”
"What my son-in-law said is very true!" Dong Zhuo immediately went to the court and said: "Those who eavesdrop on the world so chaotic and rebellious are all insulted by Zhang Rang, the regular attendant of the Yellow Gate. When the minister hears the soup to stop boiling, it is better to draw salary from the bottom of the kettle; Although the carbuncle is painful, it is better than nourishing poison. The minister dares to ring the bell and drum into Luoyang, please let it go. Sheji is very lucky! The world is very lucky! ”
After getting Dong Zhuo's watch, He Jin was very proud, so he showed it to everyone when he was deliberating. When Yushi Zheng Tai saw the table, he immediately played: "Dong Zhuo is a jackal, if he introduces it into the capital, he will eat people!" ”
He Jin thought he knew Dong Zhuo, so he said disapprerovitically: "What kind of big thing can be achieved if you are so suspicious!" ”
Lu Zhi saw that He Jin didn't take Dong Zhuo to heart, so he immediately stood up and said: "Zhi Su knows that Dong Zhuo is a person, and he is kind and ruthless; When you enter the forbidden court, you will bring disaster. It's better not to stop, so as not to cause chaos! ”
"That's it!" Seeing that everyone was persuading, He Jin couldn't help but say angrily: "I have made up my mind about this matter, don't say more!" ”
The ministers looked at each other, He Jin was unhappy, and turned around and walked out of the council hall. Second, many officials resigned when they learned that Dong Zhuo was coming to Luoyang, and He Jin did not stay long, and all of them were released.
Inner Palace, Secret Chamber. The Ten Standing Servants also learned about Dong Zhuo's appearance, and Zhang Rang immediately convened everyone to discuss countermeasures.
"Dong Zhuo is ungrateful, he really deserves to be killed!" Hou Lan said with an indignant face: "When he was defeated, if we hadn't helped him speak, he would have been imprisoned by His Majesty." Now he dares to help He Jin Xiaoer! ”
Zhao Zhong said a little frustratedly: "At the beginning? And now I am talking about it! If we had known that there was the current situation, we would not have let He Lingsi get close to Your Majesty! Without Queen He, how can there be any progress? Tracing back to the source, it wasn't our help that He Jin could get his current status, but he was bent on putting us to death! ”
"Since He Jin doesn't want us to live, we won't let him live!" Gao Wang's eyes were bloodshot, staring at everyone viciously, like a wolf who wanted to devour people!
Zhang Rang said expressionlessly: "In this case, Zhao Zhong, you arrange fifty sword and axe men to be in the Jiade Gate of Changle Palace, and then we will go to see the Queen Mother together!" When the time comes, act on the opportunity! ”
"This..."Zhao Zhong asked when he saw this, "Lord Zhang wants to kill the general?" ”
"Humph! Dong Zhuo did not move in Michi, and He Jin sent someone to meet him. Since we have no way to live, how can we let that Tugu child be proud? If you don't fight, you will die, and if you fight, you may still have a way to live! Zhang Rang's face was hideous, his eyes showed a fierce light, and everyone was really surprised to see his expression for the first time. However, everyone understood what Zhang Rang meant, so they went their separate ways.
"Alas!" When everyone left, Zhang Rang sat down on the chair and said secretly: "I knew that I would invite the champion Hou to Jingshi!" Although he will not help us support Liu Xie, he will never kill us! ”
There is no regret medicine in the world, and now Zhang Rang has swallowed the bitter fruit. When Zhao Zhong came to report that the knife and axe hand had been arranged, Zhang Rang stood up, regained his composure, and he took the ten permanent servants to He Lingsi's bedroom.
"Huh? Zhang Rang, why are you here? He Lingsi was dressed in a thin shirt, leaning on the couch with a crisp chest and half naked, if a man saw it, his blood would definitely be gushing. You must know that He Lingsi was originally a beauty, and now she is not yet thirty years old, and because she is well maintained, she looks like she is only in her early twenties, and she is definitely a first-class royal sister.
It's a pity that Zhang Rang and the others are not men, and they don't have the heart to appreciate He Lingsi's body. I saw Zhang Rang prostrate on the ground and said: "Today, the general is overbearing, summoning foreign soldiers to Beijing, wanting to destroy the ministers, etc., I hope that Niangniang will have mercy and help!" ”
He Lingsi smiled and said: "You can apologize to the General's Mansion, presumably the General will not be embarrassed!" ”
"If you go to the Prime Minister's Mansion, you will have no flesh and bones." Zhang Rangsheng burst into tears, with a pitiful face, he kowtowed on the ground and said: "I hope that General Niangniang will enter the palace and stop it." If he does not comply, the ministers will only ask for death in front of the mother. ”
"Alright!" He Lingsi shook his head with a smile and said, "I really don't know what you are doing with the general!" They are all important ministers of the state, can't they get along well? Message! Order the general to enter the palace for an audience! ”
He Jin was waiting for Dong Zhuo's news with everyone in the mansion, and suddenly a eunuch came to announce the decree and asked him to enter the palace to meet the Empress Dowager He. He Jin was about to set off when he got the order, and Chen Lin, the chief bookkeeper, hurriedly advised: "The queen mother's edict must be the strategy of the ten permanent servants, and you must not go." Woe to you. ”
He Jin smiled and asked, "The Queen Mother edicted me, what's the trouble?" ”
Yuan Shao frowned and said, "Now that our plan has been leaked, how can the general enter the palace?" ”
"You can enter the palace!" Cao Ying smiled: "Just get rid of the ten permanent servants first!" ”
"Why did Meng De say such a child's words! I am a general, and I hold the military power in the world, how can I be a permanent servant? He Jin didn't listen to the advice of Cao Ying and others, and insisted on entering the palace.
Yuan Shao said helplessly: "The public will want to go, I will lead the armor guards to guard in case of accidents!" ”
"Good!" He Jin nodded, Yuan Shao and Cao Ying each selected five hundred elite soldiers, and ordered Yuan Shao's brother Yuan Shu to lead them. Yuan Shu was draped all over his body, and led the troops outside the door.
Yuan Shao and Cao Ying escorted He Jin to the front of Changle Palace with swords. There is a small yellow door that said: "The queen mother specially declares the general, and the rest of the people are not allowed to enter." ”
Yuan Shao, Cao Ying and others were all blocked outside the palace gate, and He Jin entered with pride. At the gate of the Jiade Palace, Zhang Rang and Duan Jue greeted them, surrounded them left and right, and He Jin was shocked: "What are you waiting for?" I am a general! ”
Zhang Rang asked sharply: "What a great general!" What is the crime of Empress Dowager Dong, who died in vain? The funeral of the mother of the country, I can't help it! Ruben Tugu junior, I recommend it to the Son of Heaven, so as to be honored; If you don't want to repay the service, you want to murder each other, and you say that we are very turbid, who is the one who is clear? ”
Seeing this, He Jin knew that Zhang Rang had bad intentions, and in a panic, he wanted to find a way out. Zhang Rang gave an order, the palace gate was closed, and Fu Jia came out together, cutting He Jin into two sections.
Yuan Shao, Cao Ying and others waited outside the palace gate for a long time, but they didn't see He entering or leaving the palace, so they ordered the armor soldiers to shout in unison: "Please get in the car, general!" ”
"He Jin rebelled, and he has been ambushed! The rest of the coercion will be forgiven. A voice rang out, and a human head flew out of the wall.
"General!" Yuan Shao shouted: "The eunuch murdered the minister!" Those who punish the evil party come to help in the war! ”
He Jinbu set Wu Kuang on fire outside the Qingzuo Gate, and Yuan Shu led troops into the palace, but when he saw the eunuchs, no matter how big or small, they all killed them. Yuan Shao and Cao Ying entered the gate. Zhao Zhong, Cheng Kuang, Xia Yun, and Guo Sheng were rushed to the front of Cuihua Tower, chopped into meat paste, and the flames in the palace soared to the sky.
Zhang Rang, Duan Jue, and Hou Lan robbed the Empress Dowager and the Emperor and Chen Liuwang to the introspection and walked through the North Palace from the back road. Lu Zhi has not left the official yet, and when he saw the incident in the palace, he held his armor and stood in front of Your Excellency.
Seeing that Duan Jue was forcing He Hou to come over, Lu Zhi rushed forward and said, "Duan Jue is a traitor, dare to rob the Queen Mother!" ”
Duan Jue turned around and left. The Queen Mother jumped out of the window, Lu Zhi gave first aid, and the Queen Mother survived. Wu Kuang entered the inner court and saw He Miao also raise his sword. Wu Kuang shouted: "He Miao conspired to kill his brother, he should be killed!" ”
"May I kill my brother's thief!" When everyone heard this, they all forced He Miao, He Miao turned around and fled, but he was surrounded on all sides, and he was cut into powder with knives and axes.
Yuan Shao also ordered the sergeants to kill the families of the ten permanent attendants separately, regardless of size, and many innocent people were killed. Cao Ying extinguished the fire in the palace, asked Empress Dowager He to take charge of the event, sent soldiers to pursue Zhang Rang and others, and looked for the emperor.
Zhang Rang and the others took the emperor and King Chen Liu to the mountain, and Duan Qi asked, "Lord Zhang, where are we going?" ”
"Let's go to the camp of the champion Hou! If it weren't for Huang Zhong leading people away, how could those thieves be rampant! Zhang Rang touched the edict in his arms and glanced deeply at Chen Liuwang. Chen Liuwang saw that Zhang Rang's eyes were wrong, and he suddenly felt a little strange.
"The traitor is gone!" At about the second watch, the shouting behind was loud, and the people and horses arrived, and the person leading the team was Min Gong, a Peng official in central Henan!
"Your Majesty! Chen Liuwang! The old slave can't serve the two anymore! Seeing this, Zhang Rang pounced on Liu Xie's side and secretly stuffed Liu Hong's edict into Liu Xie's hands. Although Liu Xie was only nine years old, he was talented, he didn't speak, and directly took the things handed over by Zhang Rang into his arms. Seeing Liu Xie put the edict in his arms, Zhang Rang left Liu Ban and Liu Xie and ran forward. Not far away, a small river flowed quietly, and Zhang Rang shouted: "Your Majesty! The old minister is here! ”
"Poof!" Zhang Rang threw himself into the water and died, Liu Wei and Liu Xie did not know the truth and did not dare to raise their voices, and lay down in the grass by the river. The military horses scattered in all directions, and they didn't know where the emperor was. Liu Xie and Liu Wei crouched in the grass until the fourth watch, the dew fell again, their stomachs were hungry, and they squeezed each other and cried; He was afraid that people would find out, and he whimpered secretly in the recklessness.
I don't know how long it took, Liu Xie said to Liu Wei: "Brother, it's not appropriate to stay here for a long time, you still have to find a way to live!" ”
Liu Ban nodded, and he and Liu Xie supported each other along the river. Because it was too dark, and the two little princes had not traveled far, in fact, it was not far, and the two walked for a long time. Suddenly, Liu Xie saw a courtyard in front of him, and just as the two were about to turn around and leave, the door of the courtyard opened.
A middle-aged man walked forward quickly, and when he saw Liu Wei and Liu Xie, he immediately asked, "Who are you waiting for?" ”
Liu Bian was worried that the middle-aged man was not a good person, so he didn't dare to answer. Liu Xie gave birth to a calf, pointed at Liu Wei and said: "This is the Son of Heaven, who has been displaced here by the chaos of the Ten Standing Servants, and is the king of Chen Liu!" ”
When the middle-aged man heard this, he immediately bowed down and said: "The minister is Cui Yi, the younger brother of Situ Cui Lie, because he saw that the ten permanent servants were jealous of the officials, so he hid here!" ”
After Cui Yi introduced his identity, he brought Liu Bian and Liu Xie into the village, and Liu Bian and Liu Xie accepted his invitation when they saw that Cui Yi was a loyal minister. After running around all night, the two of them, who were already hungry, finally had a full meal. Not long after, Min Gong also found Cui Yi's Zhuangyuan. Seeing that the head of Duan Qi, one of the ten permanent attendants, was hanging on the neck of Min Gong's horse, Cui Yicai told him the news of Liu Bian and Liu Xie.
Min Gong was also a loyal minister, and he hurriedly went to the village to see the emperor and asked the emperor to return the capital. searched all over Cui Yizhuang, and only found a thin horse. Liu Bian and Liu Xie rode out together and returned to the capital with Min Gong. Less than three miles out of the village, Wang Yun, Yang Biao, Chun Yuqiong, Zhao Rong, Bao Xin, Yuan Shao, a group of people, hundreds of people, and then the car. The ministers first sent someone to send Duan Jue's head to Beijing to give orders, and then changed horses to sit with the emperor and King Chen Liu, and the emperor returned to Beijing.
