Chapter Twenty-Nine: Mess
"The Queen Mother, help! The Queen Mother, help! ”
In the Changle Palace, a group of eunuchs fell to the ground, constantly kowtowing and begging, and the Empress Dowager He sat in a high position and frowned slightly, looking a little irritable.
"You are all old ministers, and there is the Queen Mother to protect your life, why be afraid?" Empress He's hand-shaking pu fan was cold, and her face became more and more unkind.
In Queen He's opinion, although his brother He Jin holds great power and has unlimited power, he is still in awe of his sister, Queen He has repeatedly promised to save the lives of many eunuchs, but these eunuchs just don't believe it, how can Queen He not be angry.
Zhang Rang, who was begging bitterly, straightened up slightly and cried: "The Queen Mother doesn't know, the general has ordered foreign soldiers to enter Beijing, and they will slaughter us, and please save the Queen Mother!" ”
"There is such a thing!" Empress He was slightly stunned, where did she think that He Jin would actually summon foreign soldiers into Beijing, and continued after a moment of silence: "Maybe the foreign soldiers came not to harm you and others, but it is not yet known to be transferred with the army." ”
Zhang Rang secretly scolded in his heart that this Empress Dowager He was really a woman, and he still didn't want to believe it when he said it so clearly, but his face was completely humble.
Zhang Rang said in a low voice: "The master who drafted the edict said it himself, it must not be wrong, and please ask the Queen Mother to save me in the past, and we will definitely swear allegiance to the death." As he spoke, he bowed again and again, and for a moment there was a cry of pleading in the temple again.
"Don't make a noise, it's upset." Seeing that the eunuchs were full of sadness, I thought that when the dove killed Wang Meiren, the ten permanent servants came forward to intercede to keep the queen's position, and later the ten permanent servants helped the He family a lot, and the service these days was also smooth.
Empress Dowager He casually put the pu fan aside, her eyes swept over the kneeling ten permanent attendants and said lightly: "What's the big deal, you wait to go to the General's Mansion to admit your mistake to the General, and I will go to tell you a please, and I will ensure that you don't have to worry about waiting." ”
"Queen Mother, the ministers don't dare to go to the General's Mansion!" Zhao Zhong, whose face was full of sadness, got up and cried, and kowtowed again to plead.
"If I wait to go to the General's Mansion, how can those generals let me go, and invite the Queen Mother to enter the palace, and we can make amends to the General in front of the Queen Mother." Zhang Rang kowtowed again and again, and at the same time helped, his words were full of pleading, and his sad and pitiful appearance still had the majesty of the regular servant in the flying and domineering at the beginning.
Zhang Rangyuan saw that the Queen Mother was silent for a long time, and climbed forward a few steps and said with tears in his eyes: "Queen Mother, if the general does not allow his ministers to wait, I would rather die in front of the Queen Mother than die outside." Suddenly, there was a cry of crying and pleading in the hall.
"Alright, it's up to you." Empress He straightened up, and said loudly to the guards outside: "General Xuanda has entered the palace." ”
Zhang Rang got up and persuaded: "Queen Mother, the general has a deep kindness to us, and we are deeply impressed, but the general's subordinates and generals all hate us to the core, and I also ask the Queen Mother to plan to edict the general to enter the palace." ”
"Zhang Chang waits for you to arrange, this queen is tired, if General Tai enters the palace, he will report immediately." Empress He's eyes widened slightly, and she said casually while sitting softly.
"Don't worry, the queen mother will leave it to the minister." Empress He didn't notice a flash of sharpness in the corner of Zhang Rang's eyes.
The edict of Xuan He Jin entering the palace was quickly sent to the General's Mansion, He Jin did not dare to slack off, although he didn't know what the so-called thing was, but since he was summoned in the Jiade Palace, it must be a big matter, so he hurriedly dressed up and prepared to enter the palace.
"The general can't enter the palace, this must be the conspiracy of Zhang Rang and others, you must not go, woe to you if you go!"
"Joke, what can my sister do if she calls me?" He Jin was secretly annoyed that the people around him were troubled, and he couldn't help but speed up his pace while being irritable.
"The general Jiao Zhao will lead the troops into Beijing, his matter has been leaked, his plan has been revealed, if he has to enter the palace, the lower official is willing to bring soldiers to escort." Yuan Shao hurriedly persuaded.
"The Queen Mother was summoned in the Jiade Hall to discuss major matters, and there is an edict written by the Queen Mother herself, you are too suspicious." He Jin became more and more irritable, and there was anger between his words.
Although Cao Cao was very disappointed in the general He Jin, but He Jin held a lot of power and was the only one who could restrain the ten permanent servants, Cao Cao did not want He Jin to have an accident, so he hurriedly stepped forward to stop He Jin and hugged his fists and admonished: "If you want to meet the Queen Mother, you must let Zhang Rang and others go out of the palace, and then you can enter." ”
"This is a child's opinion, when the queen mother in front of me is bound to kill all the eunuchs." He Jin looked at Cao Cao who was a eunuch with cold eyes, and didn't want to say much to him, so he walked out of the mansion and boarded the car and headed towards the palace.
"What should I do!?" Yuan Shao sighed worriedly, as if he was asking, and as if he was muttering to himself.
"It is better to mobilize soldiers and armor to accompany them, so as to deter the eunuchs from trouble." Cao Cao looked at He Jin, the general who rode away, and said helplessly for a while.
"That's all there is to it." Everyone seconded the proposal, and they all dispersed to mobilize the troops and horses of the headquarters.
***
"My lord, He Jin has taken a car to the inner court of the palace alone." Lu Liang hurried in and reported to Yang Yiyu, who was waiting for news.
Since He Jinli decided to summon foreign soldiers into Beijing to kill the eunuchs, Yang Yi didn't think about tea and dinner during the day, couldn't sleep at night, and was highly concentrated, waiting for this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to control the five battalions of the Northern Army.
For this plan, Lu Liang had many intersections with the generals of the fifth battalion of the Northern Army, and the wine banquet was prepared for a long time, plus the gold and silver dots, and they had already become one, and now they went to Beiying to even check the outposts, which also laid the foundation for Yang Yi to control Beiying.
Once He Jin died, there would inevitably be chaos in the palace, and the eunuchs and others would inevitably go to hijack the queen mother, the emperor and other ministers and leave the palace.
It's just that what is more important to Yang Yi is that he must meet the Han Shaodi before Dong Zhuo, welcome him back to the court safely, and let the Shaodi order Dong Zhuo not to enter the palace, so that the influence of Dong Zhuo, a powerful person in the northwest, will inevitably be minimized.
Even if Dong Zhuo had the intention to attack and brought the 3,000 elite pioneers of the Northwest Army, in the absence of siege weapons, even if he could fight well, I am afraid that there would be no way to take the majestic and majestic Luodu city wall.
Maybe it can really change history, so that the trend of history will be deflected, Dong Zhuo will not be able to control the government, the Han Dynasty can continue to survive, the local heroes will not support the army and respect themselves, there will be no large-scale population death and extinction, perhaps, all the later tragedies will not happen.
Yang Yi clenched his fists, his eyes became more and more solemn, and he suddenly raised his head and breathed a long sigh of relief, standing at the corner of history, no one can deal with it calmly.
"Lu Liang, you immediately mobilize most of the soldiers of the Xiao Cavalry Battalion to go to the North Camp to wait for the battle, once the fire in the southeast starts, immediately control the main generals of the North Camp, take the control of the North Camp as much as possible, and those who dare to resist will be killed immediately!" After thinking for a moment, Yang Yi gently advised: "Remember, if you are greedy, you will lose, and you must ensure your own safety at all times." ”
"Please rest assured, Lu Liangding will live up to his mission."
***
In front of the Jiade Palace, a group of attendants with knives were hiding left and right, waiting for He to come and die.
Suddenly, Zhao Zhong, who was colorless, hurriedly came and said eagerly: "Lord Zhang's big thing is not good, Cao Cao and others came with soldiers, and followed He Jin from afar, I should be like this!?" ”
"What's the panic, the matter has come to this point, only to force He Jin, when the queen mother has no support, she can only support me and others, in order to deter the ministers, you quickly go to draft an order, so that a group of generals are not allowed to accompany into the palace, go quickly!" Zhang Rang made a decision immediately, determined to get rid of He Jin, and held the Queen Mother and His Majesty hostage, maybe there was still a glimmer of life.
Outside the inner court, Yuan Shao, Cao Cao and others accompanied them all the way, and saw the general enter the inner court from a distance, and hurriedly chased forward. The eunuch left, and the Xuanmen was slammed shut, blocking the generals outside.
Although the generals and colonels were anxious to go back and forth, how could they trespass into the forbidden place of the palace, if they were not careful, they would be killed, and no one would have the courage to joke with their lives.
He Jin was in a hurry all the way, and for a while he felt a chill behind him, and said secretly in his heart: "I, He Jin, hold the military power of the world, and I am the one who can serve the ten constants!" ”
Suddenly, He Jin turned around, a cold light slashed, He Jin immediately avoided, the blade cut through the clothes, and a deep blood mouth suddenly appeared on the chest, and the rich blood quickly soaked the entire chest.
He Jin took out his saber and looked around in horror and said, "You and other thieves are so bold that you dare to murder me!" ”
"The generals are struggling with each other, and we have no choice but to wait, come here, take it for me!"
"Don't think about it!" He Jin regretted in his heart that he didn't listen to everyone's words at the beginning, and now he only hopes that a group of generals will enter the palace to come to the rescue, but He Jin doesn't know that all the generals and schools are blocked by a holy decree, and they can't enter the palace at all, let alone lead troops to forcibly break in.
Half an hour passed, there was still no movement inside, and the generals became more and more irritable, Yuan Shao stepped forward and knocked on the door, but there was no movement inside and ignored it at all.
At this moment, suddenly a thing was thrown out of the inner court wall, fell to the ground and rolled far away, and the generals looked at it and suddenly changed color, only to see that the thing was actually the head of the general.
The eyes of the generals showed murderous aura, and Yuan Shao suddenly drew his sword and said loudly: "The ten permanent servants dare to kill the minister, follow me into the palace to slaughter the eunuchs, pass on my orders, and behead those who have no beard!" ”
A group of generals led the armor into the inner court, the momentum was like a broken bamboo, the eunuchs encountered regardless of the size of the law on the spot, the terrible screams were endless, everywhere they went, the corpses were everywhere, the blood flowed, the Luodu Palace, the place where the Eastern Han Dynasty was concentrated, became a hell on earth for a while.
In the Changle Palace, the young emperor of the Han Dynasty, Liu Xie, the king of Chenliu, and the Empress Dowager He hid together, listening to the sound of killing outside, they couldn't help but tremble, and the young emperor Liu Wei couldn't cry in fright.
A group of attendants followed Zhang Rang and other eunuchs into the palace, Zhang Rang stepped forward and saluted with a fist: "Queen Mother, the general's subordinate generals have rebelled, the general has died, the situation is urgent, please also ask the Queen Mother, Your Majesty, and King Chen Liu to follow me out of the palace." ”
"I'm not going anywhere, don't come here!" Empress Dowager He hugged the young emperor Liu Bianchu and pleaded pitifully.
"What are you doing in a daze, come on!" Zhang Rang motioned left and right to step forward.
A group of inner servants stepped forward arrogantly, carried the young emperor and Chen Liuwang, and forcibly set up the queen mother, and the rest of the inner servants with knives held a group of officials and subordinates in the province hostage, all of whom came to this side to meet and follow, and followed Zhang Rang and others, who were in a hurry, fled from the Tianqiao Pavilion Road to the direction of the North Palace Deyang Palace.
