Chapter 44: In the Palace
"He butcher will take revenge, deceive people too much!" He Jin Zhao Dong Zhuo entered Beijing with great fanfare, and the news was learned by Zhang Rang for the first time.
Outside the house, Duan Gui's face was pale, and he came in a panic, and when he saw Zhang Rang, he said in fear, "Now the general, the world's sergeants want to kill us, what can I do?" ”
"Since this is the case, today I will make an edict and order her to enter the palace to visit the Queen Mother. As long as it enters the palace, it will become a turtle in the urn. Zhang Rang's face was full of murder, and his hatred for He Jin could be described as surging.
"Killing a general is a capital offense." Duan Jue said in surprise.
"Now you and I are in the same boat, a little hesitation, I am afraid that I will be harmed by thieves." Zhang Rang snorted coldly, Cao Nima, since you scholars want to kill us, then you can't complain about my cruelty.
"Let's go, I'll go and Zhao He Jin into the palace." Duan Jue made up his mind, anyway, those scholars took pleasure in killing eunuchs, and there was still a glimmer of life if they fought hard, and they could only wait for death to sit back and watch the situation develop.
Dong Zhuo has been ordered to raise troops, and the world is full of voices to kill eunuchs, the momentum is grand, He Jin sees it in his eyes and is happy in his heart. When Dong Zhuo comes, he will only have to reluctantly make it difficult, in order to calm the anger of the public and kill the eunuchs, presumably the Empress Dowager He can't blame him.
He Jin received the edict to enter the palace, but he said that it was the edict of the Empress Dowager He, and he did not doubt it too much, and took the edict and put it on the table, and only brought a few entourages into the palace lightly. Not long after leaving the mansion, Yuan Kui and Yuan Shao came to the General's Mansion to ask He Jin to see him, but they were told that He Jin had entered the palace.
"What? The general has already entered the palace? Can you bring an entourage with you? How long has it been? Yuan Shao was anxious and asked several questions in a row.
"With only four people, it's been nearly an hour." The steward replied.
"Go get the edict immediately, and I'll see if Zhang Rang and other traitors are cheating." Yuan Kui hurriedly said that it was indeed too suspicious to edict He Jin to enter Beijing at this juncture, that is, He Jin, a fool from the countryside, got into the trap set by Zhang Rang.
"Yes, Mrs. Yuan." When the steward Zhang Jian heard this, he hurriedly took the edict.
Yuan Kui opened the edict and looked at it, his face changed greatly, "Disaster is coming!" ”
Yuan Shao, Zhang Jian hurriedly asked why.
Yuan Kui pointed to the place where the edict was stamped and said the origin of this seal, it turned out that when Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty was still there, because people were too lazy, every time he asked Zhang to cover it, he would always cover half of the last word. The fourth generation and third duke of the Yuan family, Yuan Kui has also been an official for many years, and he has clearly figured out the habits of Emperor Ling of Han, Zhang Rang and others, how can he not see it. And Empress Dowager He is in the palace, how can she let Zhang Rang seal it, this is clearly Zhang Rang's edict.
"As soon as the general dies, there will be no one to restrain the eunuchs." Yuan Kui was so angry in his heart, this He Jin was too brainless.
"Uncle, the general is afraid that something will happen, the matter has come to this point, only to immediately raise troops into the palace and kill Zhang Rang and others, otherwise once Zhang Rang and others control the situation, the world is so big that there is no place for the Yuan family." Yuan Shao immediately spoke, his eyes flickered, He Jin died and died, if the eunuch was killed at this time, then most of the credit and reputation would fall on the Yuan family, that is, his hands.
"The matter is urgent, immediately notify the highway and let him bring troops into the palace, I don't believe that those traitors can still cover the sky with one hand." Yuan Kui commanded immediately.
"Yes, uncle!" Mentioning Yuan Shu, a trace of unhappiness flashed in Yuan Shao's eyes, in terms of appearance and talent, Yuan Shao thought that he was much stronger than Yuan Shu's sister-in-law, but because he was a concubine, his status in the Yuan family was not as good as that Yuan Shu, even if he put in more effort, the family put far more energy on Yuan Shu than him. Why did he have to pay more than Yuan Shu when he was a descendant of the Yuan family and got the same fruit? Killing the eunuchs, Dong Zhuo's entry into Kyoto was planned by him, why did he pull Yuan Shu to pick fruits when it was almost complete? However, at this time, Yuan Kui was still the big tree of the Yuan family, but the unhappiness in his heart had already been buried, and Yuan Shao took the order and left.
"The Queen Mother is not in Yunning Palace, where is she, what are you waiting to bring me here for?" After He Jin followed the two little eunuchs to Yunning Palace and pounced, he suddenly realized that something was wrong and reprimanded sharply.
"What to do? What butcher, when you enter Beijing, I want to ask what you want? ”
Behind the Songhe Chaoyang screen, a cloudy voice sounded, He Jin was suddenly shocked in his heart, and cold sweat broke out on his back, he was an official in the same dynasty, how could he not hear such a familiar voice, the first of the ten permanent servants!
The two little eunuchs moved the screen away, only to see Zhang Rang sitting there on the eunuch's chair, drinking the honey in the cup. There is kindness on their faces as always, and serving their masters in the palace all their lives, putting on a kind face has become their condition. But at this time, Zhang Rang's pair of triangular eyes shot out a viper-like light, which made He Jin feel creepy.
"Presumptuous, my official worships the general, and is in charge of the world's soldiers and horses, how can you be humiliated." When He Jin heard that the other party revealed his old bottom, his face suddenly sank, and he reprimanded.
"General, in charge of the world's soldiers and horses, you are so majestic." Zhang Rang chuckled, his voice was very sharp, and after laughing for a moment, Zhang Rang stared at He Jin resentfully. "You also know that you are a general, you were just a butcher before you started, and you relied on the queen mother to be above 10,000 people, but you don't want to think about where your preciousness comes from, if there is no queen mother, you stay in the poor countryside and kill pigs for a lifetime, and no one knows what butcher you are. The first emperor once wanted to abolish the queen mother, who kept the queen mother? It's not that the Sprinkle family gave up tens of millions of family wealth and persuaded the first emperor. The first emperor is nervous, and we serve the queen mother and the young emperor have no two hearts. You don't drink water and think of the source, but you will take revenge and want to kill all of us, is it that the world is in turmoil, there is no responsibility for you and other civil and military officials, all planted on our heads, since you can't tolerate us, the edict enters Beijing, and wants to kill the eunuchs, and today I can't spare you! ”
Bang! Zhang Rang threw the cup in his hand to the ground and shattered it, and two teams of armored soldiers outside the house rushed in. Surrounded by He Jin's side.
"Zhang Changshi, misunderstanding, there must be a misunderstanding during the period..."Seeing the soldiers of the brigade coming in, He Jin was startled, and he couldn't speak well.
"Misunderstanding? The edict soldiers entered Beijing, set fire to the south of the city, and conspired with the Yuan family to kill us is also a misunderstanding? He butcher, a qiē is all self-inflicted. Zhang Rangyin smiled and said, "Send him on his way!" ”
"Yes!"
Several soldiers stepped forward, and in He Jin's begging for mercy, the poor general who had the power in the world died in the hands of a few nobodies, was chopped into several pieces, and died a miserable death.
"Heaven is evil, it can be said that it is self-inflicted, and it cannot live." Zhang Rang snorted coldly, threw his sleeves and left, someone will clean up the mess.
"Oh no, no!" When he walked out of the house, he saw Zhao Zhong coming in a hurry, if he hadn't been supported by the little eunuch next to him, he would have almost fallen.
"Zhang Changshi, it's not good!"
"What's so flustered?" Just killed He Jin's henchman, Zhang Rang was in a much better mood, but what Zhang Rang didn't know was that He Jin was just an official, and compared with Yuan Shao's ruthless heroes, he didn't even deserve to carry shoes. Now that the high and stupid He Jin is dead, there will be no one who can hinder Yuan Shao's actions.
"Mrs. Yuan and Captain Si Li led the troops into Beijing, and Hu Ben Zhonglang rushed to the palace with Yuan Shu and the troops, and let them go, saying that they would punish all the traitors!" Zhao Zhong's voice trembled, his hands trembled a little, he lost the protection of the emperor for a while, and those soldiers who were not usually looked at by them would kill them without mercy.
"What!" Zhang Rang's face was bloodied for a while, and the news made him fall into an ice cellar from the winner.
