Chapter 140: Fighting in the Palace

Zhang Rang kowtowed: "The chaos in the world is not only the sin of my generation. When the first emperor was at odds with the queen mother, almost abolished the queen mother, we cried to rescue, and each took out tens of millions of family wealth as a gift to please the first emperor, this move is nothing more than to rely on the door of the He family, and I hope that the general will spare my surname in the past! From now on, we will be loyal to the general and the queen mother! ”

"The general spares his life!"

"The general spares his life!"

Three or four hundred people wept and prostrate. Yuan Shao has always hated the eunuchs, and at this moment he was extremely happy, and whispered: "Such an opportunity is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity!" Why should the general take this opportunity to destroy all the eunuchs in one fell swoop, and be willing to serve the general! ”

He Jin shook his head and said: "The Queen Mother disagrees with this matter, and it is time to let Dong Zhuo and Ding Yuan make a move, so that the Queen Mother will not blame me!" Ben will order this now! ”

He Wan also walked out of the dormitory, and said with a slight salute: "Brother, can't you just stop for the sake of the little sister's face?" Zhang Rang and the others are all old, and they are still our little sister's father-in-law, as the saying goes: If you don't look at the face of the monk and look at the face of the Buddha, you can't even kill the little sister, right? ”

He Jin was embarrassed for a while, He Wan called him brother, not the general, obviously begging him as a person, his heart suddenly softened, and then looked at Yuan Shao, Cao Ying and others shook their heads against it, so he had to sigh ruthlessly: "State affairs and family affairs can't be mixed up, and Dong Zhuo and Ding Yuan will go to the capital without saying it, and they can't stop being brothers!" If my sister agrees to let Ben Chu, Meng De and others kill the eunuch leaders, I may have an excuse to persuade the local warlords to return to their homes, otherwise they will mobilize their troops to come, and how can they return in vain? ”

He Wan sighed faintly, frowned, and said, "Under the nest, there are no eggs?" How about letting Xiaomei think about it again? ”

He Jin nodded and said: "Since this is the case, I will retire first, and if my sister makes up her mind, she can send someone to inform me at any time." ”

After He Jin left, He Wan shook his head and said: "Now that the local warlord has entered Beijing, the palace can ensure that the general will not kill you, but there is nothing you can do about the local warlord, so you can quickly leave the palace and avoid it for a while, and then return to the palace when the local warlord withdraws!" ”

"Thank you, Queen Mother!" The eunuchs were grateful, packed up the soft things and prepared to leave the palace, but soon found that all the palace gates were blocked by the Yulin army, and they couldn't get out at all, and nearly 2,000 eunuchs of all sizes in the entire palace were anxious like ants on a hot pot.

Ma Chao has lived in Liu Li's bedroom for more than ten days, and every time he says that he is either chatting with Princess Wannian, or flirting with the pretty palace maids around him, he is also at ease. Today, as soon as he saw the eunuchs in the palace making a mess, he knew that a good show was about to be staged, and immediately wrote a letter asking Princess Wannian to go to Yongle Palace and hand it over to Wei Zhongdao. Let Zhao Yun and Pang De see the opportunity to act, try to protect Liu Xie when there is chaos in the palace, and at the same time send a set of military uniforms of the Yulin Army.

There was no ladder to go up to the sky and no door to go to the ground, and more than a dozen people gathered together to discuss feasible plans. Zhang Rang said: "He Jin is determined to kill us, this time I'm afraid the Son of Heaven and the Queen Mother can't do anything, instead of waiting for death, it's better to give it a go, let's ask for the surname to strike first, just like when Dou Wu was killed!" ”

Everyone nodded in unison, and Duan Wei said: "He Jin is just a butcher, he has no courage or strategy, he is arrogant, he does not listen to advice, if he is summoned into the palace in the name of the queen mother and ambushed, he will be successful!" As soon as He Jin died, his henchmen should not be worried! ”

Zhang Rang said: "Yes, without further ado, now the Inner Palace Forbidden Army is still in our hands, and they will start to act separately at dusk today!" ”

He Jin returned to the mansion in a happy mood, and after fighting with the eunuchs for more than ten years, he finally let out a bad breath this time, and immediately ordered a banquet to entertain Yuan Shao, Cao Ying, Yuan Shu and other subordinates. Now that the Empress Dowager He has relented under the pressure of the local warlords, if he can kill more than 2,000 eunuchs in one fell swoop, he He Jin can use this move to please the world's corporal doctors and the people, and his reputation is like Zhongtian, and no one can match it.

Yuan Shao, Cao Ying, Chen Lin and others also breathed a sigh of relief, although there were twists and turns, but the current situation was still under control, and it would be completed in a day or two. Before the celebration banquet was over, a small yellow gate in the palace came to report: Empress Dowager He invited the general to the palace to discuss matters.

He Jin was overjoyed, and laughed: "It's a big deal!" The Queen Mother must have changed her mind to discuss the removal of the eunuchs, and I will come when I go! ”

Chen Lin hurriedly stopped: "The general can't go!" This move must be Zhang Rang and Zhao Zhong's strategy, and if you go, there will be disaster! ”

He Jin said disapprerovingly: "Joke, what can my own sister do if she summons me into the palace?" ”

Chen Lin said: "The general ordered foreign troops to enter Beijing, and his plan has been leaked, how can Zhang Rang and others be willing to kill?" ”

Cao Ying also persuaded: "If the general wants to enter the palace, it is okay, but first he must summon Zhang Rang and other ten permanent servants to leave the palace before entering the palace!" ”

He Jin shook his head and said: "In Xiao'er's opinion, I am in charge of the world, Zhang Rang and others will only beg me, how can the Queen Mother conspire with them to kill me?" ”

Yuan Shao also got up and said: "The general must go, and allow me to lead the armor soldiers to escort us, just in case!" ”

"That's it! Don't worry about it, you have to do it too much, feel free! He Jin was a little impatient, and ordered: "Prepare the carriage and horses quickly, I am going to enter the palace to meet the Queen Mother!" ”

Cao Ying, Yuan Shao, Yuan Shu and others discussed it slightly, and immediately brought the people from the headquarters to follow behind. The group was huge, and soon they came to the gate of the East Palace, and a small yellow door shouted: "The Queen Mother is a special general, and the rest of the people are not allowed to enter!" ”

The East Palace is the place where the emperor's daughters and princes and princesses live, and the eunuchs can enter at will, but the doctor can't, unless it is specially called, it is really a taboo, this is the rule. Although Yuan Shao, Cao Ying and others were unwilling, they were helpless!

He Jin said: "Don't worry about it, I'll go back when I go!" After that, he walked into the East Palace alone, and as the palace door was closed, the murderous aura was overwhelming.

He Jin walked into the East Palace alone and found that it was not good, and the lively East Palace was unusually quiet at the moment, except for the two small yellow doors that led the way, he couldn't even see a single figure, and he was puzzled, only to see more than fifty knife and axe hands suddenly pouring out behind him, the long knife in his hand was shining cold, and the cold air was pressing!

Zhang Rang, Duan Wei, Zhao Zhong and other middle servants also turned out from behind the rockery, and said with a smile: "He Jin, you are just a Nanyang butcher, if you don't have our care, how can you have today!" But you don't repay your kindness, and you still try to kill us and others, it's really a wolf's ambition! What else is there to say now! ”

He Jin's face was pale, he was only trembling with fright, and he forced himself to calm down: "I am an important minister in the court, how dare you harm me?" The Queen Mother will not let you go! ”

Zhang Rang said: "The Queen Mother and the Son of Heaven can't do without us at all, as long as we get rid of you, a thief, this matter in the court is not for us to do whatever we want!" After that, he quickly ordered: "What are you still doing in a daze?" Kill me!"

Fifty knife and axe men worked together, He Jin, who was born as a butcher, was already mediocre in martial arts, and he was defenseless at the moment, and he was beheaded by the chaotic blade in less than a few breaths, becoming the second general to be killed by a coup d'Γ©tat by eunuchs after the general Dou Wu.

Yuan Shao and Cao Ying and the others saw that He had entered the palace and had not returned for a long time, and they immediately felt that it was not good, and several people discussed it for a while, and shouted in unison: "Please get in the car, general!" ”

"Please get in the car!"

shouted a few times but there was no response, and finally more than 2,000 people shouted together: "Please get on the bus!" ”

Zhang Rang and the others didn't expect He Jin to bring so many horses, so they immediately panicked, and ordered the Yellow Gate of No. 1 Middle School to throw He Jin's head along the palace wall, and shouted: "He Jin rebelled and has been killed." The Son of Heaven has an edict, only the first evil will be punished, and the rest will be exempted, and the rest will be returned to the headquarters as soon as possible, and no trouble will be made! ”

Yuan Shao and the others were furious and shouted: "The eunuch murdered the general, his crime should be punished, you should follow me into the palace to kill all the eunuchs!" Avenge the General! ”

"Kill all the eunuchs and avenge the general!"

"Kill all the eunuchs and avenge the general!"

Thousands of people roared in unison, and immediately found a knocker to try to break open the palace gate, shouting that the sound of killing shook the sky.

Seeing that the situation was out of control, Zhang Rang was also a little at a loss, and said urgently: "For today's plan, we only have one way to live, I don't know if you dare to do it!" ”

Duan Wei said: "Zhang Changshou has something to say, but it doesn't hurt to speak!" ”

Zhang Rang said: "Not to mention Dong Zhuo and Ding Yuanbing's arrival in Luoyang, the minions of He Jin outside will never let us go, if you want to live, only by holding the Son of Heaven and the King of the Association to Yecheng to join the champion Hou Fang have a way to live!" ”

Zhao Zhong frowned and said: "But the champion Hou has never liked us to wait, I'm afraid"

Zhang Rang said: "The champion Hou is very big, he can hide it from the world, but he can't hide it from me Zhang Rang!" I waited for the Son of Heaven to be in harmony with the king of the association, and then sent hundreds of millions of family fortunes, although I can no longer do whatever I want, but I can save my surname and enjoy the rest of my life in peace! ”

"According to what Zhang Changshou said, the palace gate will be broken immediately, and we should take the forbidden army out of the north gate, and then rush to Yecheng from Bingzhou after avoiding the limelight!"

Duan Wei said: "That's right, let's go our separate ways, I will take people to kidnap the Xiewang and Princess Wannian in Xia Chang, and you will go to find the Queen Mother and the Son of Heaven as soon as possible." ”

A dozen people briefly discussed and immediately took action. At this moment, the palace gate that was not strong was also breached, and Yuan Shao drew his sword and shouted: "Kill!" We must kill all the eunuchs in one fell swoop, and all those who do not need it will be killed! ”

Cao Ying shouted: "Protect the Son of Heaven, don't let the eunuchs hold the Son of Heaven hostage!" ”

Two thousand Yulin troops swarmed in and immediately fought with the forbidden army of the inner court controlled by the eunuchs. After a short battle, He Jin's henchmen Wu Kuang and Zhang Zhang, as well as Dong Zhuo's younger brother Dong Min, led another 2,000 men and horses to join the battle group. The number of forbidden troops was already small, and they were immediately defeated under the advantages of one another.

However, the corridors of the pavilions in the palace are intricate and the houses are dense, and it is difficult to kill all the forbidden troops in a short period of time with the advantage of a large number of people. The rest fought and fled, mixed with the small yellow gate, the middle yellow gate, etc., from the East Palace to the North Palace, Yongle Palace, Deyang Palace, etc., the entire palace was suddenly in chaos, shouting and killing, screaming, roaring, screaming and screaming were intertwined, resounding through the night!

Yuan Shao and other generals in order to completely eradicate the eunuchs, can only each generation of the headquarters of the people and horses to pursue separately, see the beard of the people killed, some soldiers also take advantage of the chaos to loot the palace property, set fire everywhere, the battle soon spread to the entire palace. It also happened to be dark, the palace was full of torches, and after the house was ignited, it was even more ablaze, illuminating the entire Luoyang City! (To be continued.) )
