said that after getting out of the court, He Jin returned home with a somewhat dull face. At this time, Yuan Shao heard his uncle Yuan Kui talk about the affairs of the court, so he hurried to the General's Mansion to meet He Jin.

Yuan Shao couldn't help but say to He Jin: "General, things have come to such a point, you must not compromise, otherwise it will be tantamount to giving up all your previous achievements." ”

He Jin sighed: "Alas, it's not that I want to compromise, but my sister-in-law is too stubborn, and she has to favor that class of eunuchs, even my own brother has to speak for them; I'm a little helpless now. ”

Yuan Shao couldn't help but say: "Shao has a plan, I don't know if the general is willing to listen?" ”

He Jin said, "If you have any good plans, come and listen to them." ”

Yuan Shao replied: "The Queen Mother insisted on protecting the eunuchs, except that Zhang Rang was your half-sister's father-in-law, just because she had received many benefits from those people; If we cut off the source of this benefit, won't the eunuchs be able to do bribery anymore? At that time, even if the queen mother can't get by, she still has to protect those eunuchs in the open, we can leave a little thin face for the queen mother, don't deal with it in the palace, and drive them all out of the palace, and deal with them in private. ”

"Hmm." He Jin nodded, and couldn't help but ask again: "How should we act in detail?" ”

Yuan Shao said: "You can send someone to collect evidence of the crimes committed by the eunuch clan during their tenure in the state and county, and then arrest and put them in prison according to the law, so that the eunuch can cut off the way for the eunuch to collect the people's fat and ointment." ”

He Jin nodded, and asked again: "Then in your opinion, who can be assigned to be responsible for such a heavy task?" ”

Yuan Shao couldn't help but say: "Shao Bucai, I am willing to share the worries of the general; In addition, the prince who is engaged in Zhonglang is upright and can also be appointed. ”

He Jin said, "Okay, I'll hand over this matter to the two of you." ”

"General, but rest assured, Shao will definitely live up to his high expectations." Yuan Shao replied.

Subsequently, He Jin sent a message to Shang Shutai, asking Shang Shu Zhou to write an edict appointing Yuan Shao, a lieutenant of the Central Military Academy, to concurrently serve as the lieutenant of the Division. He also appointed Wang Yun, who was engaged in Zhonglang, as Henan Yin, and was responsible for investigating and prosecuting evidence of the eunuch Zongdang who served in various counties and counties under the rule of Sizhou.

After Yuan Shao arrived, he sent his subordinates to monitor the movements of the eunuchs, and on the other hand, he sent people to inform Dong Zhuo, asking Dong Zhuo to continue to write a statement stating that he would continue to lead troops into Pingping, and that all eunuchs must be eliminated.

When Yuan Shao's order came, Dong Zhuo was even more puzzled, this moment it was the order of the general, and the order of the emperor for a while, and now a lieutenant suddenly appeared, his grandmother, what is this! Immediately, Dong Zhuo didn't care about 3721, he only scolded "his grandmother's, this general doesn't care", and went straight to Luoyang.

But he said that Dong Zhuo's bullish temper made me cry and laugh a little, no wonder he would make so many low-level mistakes later, which was all due to his lack of good patience.

When we arrived at Ping, the forbidden army stationed here would not let us go on. In this regard, Dong Zhuo couldn't help but feel depressed, but said: "This group of people is really full, let this general lead the troops to come to kill the eunuchs, but they are not allowed to enter, really this general has the leisure time to play with them here!" ”

At this time, the general who commanded the forbidden army suddenly said: "The former general dissipated his anger, and he couldn't complain about the general, and the Empress Dowager He had to protect the eunuchs, otherwise it would take so much trouble to deal with a few eunuchs." ”

"Oh?" I couldn't help but look moved when I heard this, and asked, "In this way, General He is still safe and sound for the time being?" ”

The general couldn't help but wonder: "General He has been fine all the time, why did Your Excellency ask such a question?" ”

I smiled and said, "Oh, it's nothing, just ask; By the way, I don't know what the general is called. ”

He hurriedly said: "Don't dare, the last general is Wu Kuang, the infantry captain of the fifth battalion of the Northern Army." ”

I nodded and said, "Oh, it turned out to be Captain Wu, fortunately." ”

Wu Kuang smiled and said: "Your Excellency is polite, did you not ask your Excellency to respect your name?" ”

I replied: "It's serious, under the former general's account, Sima Chenglian. ”

When Wu Kuang heard this, he couldn't help but move, but asked, "Oh?" Could it be that Your Excellency is the Cheng Lian who is known as the "God General"? ”

I couldn't help but say, "Everywhere, it's just a name." ”

But he said: "It turns out that it is really Your Excellency, Your Excellency's name has long been like thunder, and now you can see the true face, which is really a blessing for three lives." ”

I smiled and said, "Captain Wu is really too awarded, how can he be honest." ”

At this time, Dong Zhuo on the side suddenly said impatiently: "Oh, the old man said that you two should not be close here, does this general mean to advance or retreat?" ”

Wu Kuang couldn't help but smile and said: "The former general is a little restless, according to the last general's opinion, you are now unable to advance or retreat, it is better to stay here and wait for the military order from above." ”

I nodded and said, "Well, that's all there is to it for now." ”

"Ugh." Dong Zhuo couldn't help but shake his head helplessly, and said, "What a bunch of idlers who have nothing to eat and are full." ”

I couldn't help but smile and shake my head. Speaking of which, according to the records of the official history, it should not be many days before He Jin was murdered by the eunuchs. After He Jin's death, Dong Zhuo should be in charge of the government. However, what will the specific situation look like, and will it really be as the history books say? But as it stands, it doesn't seem to be quite the same as originally expected.

Things were as I expected, Dong Zhuo led the army to Changpingguan and the matter soon spread to the court, and when Empress Dowager He saw that Dong Zhuo was playing the real game, she began to mumble a little in her heart. Then, He Jin coerced each other verbally from the side, constantly exerting pressure on the Empress Dowager He, and in the last resort, the Empress Dowager He finally chose to compromise. Immediately, Empress Dowager He ordered all the eunuchs to be dismissed and expelled from the palace, and all the generals who commanded the forbidden army were replaced by people close to He Jin.

Afterwards, the eunuchs returned to their homes to pack up their belongings, intending to return to their fiefdoms. At this time, He Jin had already sent Ding Yuan to lead people to set up an ambush on the way, and once the eunuch's convoy passed by, he would be killed immediately. Unexpectedly, this matter was secretly revealed to Zhang Rang and others by He Miao, the general of the chariot cavalry, which frightened the eunuchs who were cleaning up their belongings. Zhang Rang and the others were extremely frightened in their hearts, and then the evil was born to the side of the gall, planning to make a desperate bet and break the net with He Jin.

It is said that Zhang Rang's daughter-in-law is the sister of the Empress Dowager He, which is one of the reasons why the Empress Dowager He has always protected the eunuchs. So, Zhang Rang signaled his daughter-in-law to intercede with her sister, saying that in order to repay the kindness that the Han family had always given him, he planned to enter the palace to serve for the last time, and then he would be willing to die even if he died. Zhang Rang's expression was very desolate when she spoke, which made her feel deeply pity. Then, she went to express Zhang Rang's wishes to her biological mother Wu Yangjun. After Wuyangjun learned about it, he went to intercede with the Empress Dowager He. After the old mother said this, Empress Dowager He issued an edict to follow the wishes of Zhang Rang and others.

He Miao's report to the eunuchs was immediately known to He Jin, which made He Jin feel very angry. In order to prevent the pre-set plan from changing, He Jin didn't care about 3721, and went straight to ** to tell the Empress Dowager He that he must get rid of the eunuch no matter what, and no one should try to stop him. Because He Jin's attitude was quite tough, Empress Dowager He had no choice but to compromise with He Jin in words.

Unexpectedly, this matter had already been calculated by Zhang Rang and others, and then the eunuchs set up an ambush in advance and killed He Jin. After that, Zhang Rang and others wanted to control important positions around the capital by replacing their cronies, in order to control the situation in their own hands. Yuan Shao's position as the lieutenant of Si Li, and Wang Yun's position as Henan Yin were replaced by Zhang Rang and others with edicts by the former Taiwei Fan Ling and Shaofu Xu Xiang.

When Shangshu Zhou Yu saw the edict of appointment, he thought that it was not quite what He Jin meant, so he asked the general He Jin to come and discuss together. However, Zhang Rang ordered Xiaohuangmen to throw He Jin's head to Zhou Bi, saying that He Jin had been executed for his intention to rebel. This made Zhou Bi stunned for a while.

As a result, the eunuch temporarily controlled the situation in the court.
