"Yes, yes! And the Queen Mother can testify for us! ”

Everyone woke up like a dream, and rushed to the Empress Dowager He's side, and helped the Empress Dowager He up for first aid. As soon as Empress Dowager He woke up, the eunuchs immediately poured beans into a bamboo tube and briefly mentioned the situation in front of them. These words only made Empress Dowager He's heart furious:

"Chun Yuqiong! Yuan Shao! the party! ”

Empress Dowager He cursed angrily. It's just that no matter how fiercely she scolds, she can't change a fact:

- General He Jin, dead!

Even though her status is noble, Empress Dowager He is just a woman. Without her elder brother and general in control of power in the outer court, Empress Dowager He is just a helpless widow in the palace!

After venting for a while, Empress Dowager He's mood calmed down slightly. Although she is known as "sexually taboo", in the face of such a complex and chaotic situation, she also feels that it is not good. Empress Dowager He forcibly suppressed the sadness and panic in her heart, looked at the familiar eunuchs in front of her, and asked with hope:

"The mourning family is in chaos. Ladies and gentlemen, what should we do now? ”

With Empress Dowager He's questioning, everyone's eyes fell on Zhang Rang and Zhao Zhong.

There may be some disagreements between the ten permanent servants, and sometimes they will crush each other. But at such a critical moment, everyone still did not hesitate to expect that the two leaders, Zhang Rang and Zhao Zhong, would be able to come up with a feasible way to deal with it.

Zhao Zhong pondered for a moment and said:

"If we are Yuan Shao's thief, after learning that the general has passed away, we must hurry up and lead the troops into the palace, so as to kill the insider who witnessed this scene. When others learned of Yuan Yi's actions, they would only think that he was avenging the general, and they would never think of it. This is Yuan Wei killing people and killing people......"

Hearing this, Empress Dowager He was very dissatisfied and said:

"Could it be that Yuan Yi still dares to come to destroy the mourning family?"

As soon as these words came out, everyone's eyes made Empress Dowager He feel in her heart that she had said something stupid. Really. A fast-mouthed little yellow door eunuch said:

"Since Yuan Wei dares to murder the general, then ......"

"Mouthy!"

Before this person's words were finished, Zhang Rang had already slapped him down, interrupting this fast-talking guy. However, at this time, Empress Dowager He also understood her situation.

- Since Yuan Shao dared to assassinate the general, he naturally didn't take the identity of the Empress Dowager He in his eyes!

"Your Highness, with today's plan, we can't sit still here!"

Zhang Rang finished beating people. When he turned around, he looked like he was kind again. It is difficult for anyone to associate him with the image of the vicious beating just now.

"Boss Zhang, say it quickly!"

found that life and death were at stake, Empress Dowager He's tone was extremely polite, and even the title of Zhang Rang changed from "Lao Zhang" to "Zhang Lao".

"The general is deceased. But by His Royal Highness's side, there is His Majesty the Son of Heaven, and there is another brother? ”

Zhang Rang's words came out. Empress Dowager He also reacted.

"That's right! Right! The mourning family immediately went to find the debate, and immediately went to the second brother [He Miao]......"

Che cavalry general He Miao. is the half-brother of Empress Dowager He. Although he was not as powerful as the general He Jin, he also mastered considerable military power in Beijing with the tacit consent of the general. If He Miao can come forward in time to suppress Yuan Shao's rebellion, he may not be able to regain control of the situation in Luoyang.

"Without further ado, let's split up immediately. went to the Son of Heaven and King Chen Liu, and then asked the Son of Heaven to issue an edict appointing the late Taiwei Fan Ling as the lieutenant of Sili, Xu Shaofu as the Yin of Henan, and then let the general of the Che Cavalry do his subordinates. Protect the Son of Heaven and the Queen Mother, and quell Yuan's rebellion! ”

Zhang Rang is worthy of being the head of the ten permanent servants, and in the face of such a sinister crisis, he can still quickly come up with a way to fight back. He was able to watch the government and the opposition for 20 years, not for no reason.

The general of the Che Cavalry he mentioned in his words was He Jin's younger brother He Miao. As for King Chen Liu, he is the younger brother of today's son, the title of the prince's association. If the prince association is taken by his side first, then Yuan Shao's side cannot treat the prince association as a puppet in the aftermath, and kill the young son of heaven without any scruples, lest the Han suddenly have no heir to the throne.

So, these eunuchs surrounded the Empress Dowager He and a group of cronies and palace maids, and left the Changqiu Palace before Yuan Shao's disciples came. This group of people first went to the Son of Heaven's dormitory and asked the Son of Heaven to issue an edict, and Zhang Rang and Duan Jue took the first step to find Shangshu Lu Zhi to write the edict. As for the large army of eunuchs, while gathering reliable lieutenants and guards, they protected the Son of Heaven, Empress Dowager He, and King Chen Liu, and marched towards the location of Shangshutai.

According to the plan of Zhang Rang and others, they were ready to leave the palace as soon as they got the edict of appointment, and immediately went out of the palace to the Che Cai General's Mansion, and asked the Che Cai General He Miao to come forward to recruit the general's old department and explain the real situation clearly. Thinking that the Empress Dowager He would testify, He Miao would believe it.

It's just that Zhang Rang didn't expect that Shangshu Lu Zhi actually saw his flaws at a critical moment and refused to write an edict. Not only that, as soon as Lu Zhi heard the news of the general's murder, he immediately became fully armed, fearing that he firmly believed in the opinion that the eunuch killed the general.

However, with the appearance of Empress Dowager He, the hopes of the eunuchs reappeared. Other people's words are not credible, but if the general's sister is spoken, Lu Zhi will not have any doubts, right?

"Lu Shangshu, the death of the elder general of the Mourning family brother is indeed the work of Chun Yuqiong's traitor! This is what the mourning family saw with their own eyes, and there is absolutely no falsehood! The mourning family knows that Aiqing is loyal, honest and outspoken, and after understanding the truth, he can help the mourning family calm down the chaos planned by Yuan Shao's traitor, right? ”

Empress Dowager He's attitude was sincere and her words were sincere, which made Lu Zhi feel like a lie. However, he still couldn't believe that Yuan Shao, who had been allied with the general for a long time and the relationship between the two sides was in the honeymoon period, would suddenly assassinate the general?

- This thing is really hard to believe.

If Empress Dowager He accused someone else, Lu Zhi would not have believed it immediately. However, in addition to the identity of the leader of the party, Yuan Shao also has another layer of tricky identity. That is - the sister-in-law of the Yuan family, the most powerful patriarch heir of the next generation of the Yuan family!

Lu Zhi will not be ambiguous about the party. It is true that he is a scholar and a great Confucian, but the scholars are not all party members who like to sell their fame and reputation.

However, as long as he thinks about the huge connections accumulated by the Runan Yuan family during his tenure as the "Fourth World and Three Dukes", Lu Zhi has a sense of powerlessness in his heart. If strictly calculated, even Lu Zhi himself can be regarded as a peripheral member of the Runan Yuan clan.

The relationship between Lu Zhi and the Yuan clan of Runan came like this:

Lu Zhi's teacher was the great Confucian Ma Rong. Ma Rong's daughter, Ma Lun, married Yuan Kui, the current patriarch of the Yuan clan in Runan. In this way, Lu Zhi usually met with Yuan Kui, and according to the etiquette of the Han Dynasty, he needed to call Yuan Kui respectfully: Senior brother.

Because of Ma Lun's relationship, Lu Zhi has been taken care of by Yuan Kui over the years. If it weren't for this, Lu Zhi would not have been reappointed as Shang Shuling so smoothly after being framed and imprisoned by eunuchs in the first year of Zhongping. Because of this relationship between the two sides, Lu Zhi has always treated Yuan Kui as a brother. And when Yuan Kui sent a word, Lu Zhi didn't listen to it.

It's just that if Yuan Shao really did the "murder of the general", with Lu Zhi's temperament, he can't let it go.

- Really? Is it fake?

INTERVIEWER If so, how should we deal with it?

Just when Lu Zhi was undecided, from behind Lu Zhi, a call suddenly came out:

"it!"

Hearing this kind and familiar voice, Lu Zhi was taken aback and turned back suddenly. Sure enough, what appeared behind him was Taifu Yuan Kui!

The location of Shangshutai was set up in a place close to the city gate in the siege city. Empress Dowager He and her group came from inside the palace, and Yuan Kui came from outside the palace. The two groups of people were one mile and one away, and they just sandwiched Lu Zhi in the middle.

At the moment when Lu Zhi turned around, Yuan Kui also saw Empress Dowager He who was surrounded by eunuchs in the middle. His heart immediately "chuckled", realizing that the original plan to completely deny Yuan Shao's attempt to assassinate the general was no longer feasible. It's just that Yuan Kui is such an old and spicy character, and in the blink of an eye, his countermeasures have been completely revised.

- Since it is no longer possible to hide from Lu Zigan, let's start first and do it directly! (To be continued......)
