With such worries, Xu Ji once again embarked on the road to Zhang Rang's mansion, this time Xu Ji really planned to stand in line, or to put it another way, Xu Ji must ensure that Zhang Rang's assassination of He Jin can be successful, otherwise the consequences will be unimaginable. Whether it is said that Xu Ji is selfish, regardless of the overall situation, the important thing for Xu Ji is not whether Liu Hong can regain his authority, so everything is naturally considered on the premise of his own interests, Liu Hong may not be able to keep Xu Ji, so Xu Ji still believes that his little life is safer in his own hands.

Zhang Rang has been going back and forth between the palace and his mansion for the past few days, to put it bluntly, there is still a lot of controversy between the ten permanent servants about how to deal with He Jin, and many of them think that being content with the status quo is not a bad decision, but it is absolutely impossible to change Zhang Rang's decision, but the reason why the ten permanent servants dare not easily anger is because of the unity of the ten permanent servants, at least the kind of appearance led by Zhang Rang that they show, but now there are disagreements within the ten permanent servants, This is undoubtedly a huge blow to Zhang Rang's plan.

Of course, Zhang Rang was still a little surprised that Xu Ji came again, and it was no joke that Zhang Rang said to Xu Ji that he didn't want Xu Ji to intervene, Xu Ji's participation not only did not help much, but would make the situation more chaotic, which violated Zhang Rang's expected goal, and Xu Ji had something to lose, and Zhang made this plan no one benefit.

Xu Ji is actually very curious about why Zhang Rang suddenly changed his purpose, Zhang Rang, who originally wanted to plot himself, seems to have suddenly changed his attitude, although Xu Ji has to believe Zhang Rang, but the doubts in his heart have never disappeared, of course, this trip also has the idea of exploring the answer to this question.

It's just that they haven't seen each other for a few days. Zhang Rang seemed to be even more haggard, and Xu Ji couldn't help but sigh a little. However, these emotions were only a little flashing in Xu Ji's heart, and he didn't care about these things anymore: "Chang Shi doesn't know if he knows that He Jin also has plans to attack Chang Shi?" Xu Ji's straight to the point really made Zhang Rang a little unable to react. But then Zhang Rang replied with a smile: "Naturally, I know that He Jin's old slave is clearer than that of a horse." It's not a matter of a day or two that this person wants the life of an old slave. ”

Seeing Zhang Rang's attitude, he really didn't care about this matter, but Xu Ji knew very well that Zhang Rang was by no means such a careless person, and Xu Ji personally came to tell him what it meant, and Zhang Rang must have known it, so the only thing that Zhang Rang's reaction proved was that Zhang Rang did have a way to deal with it, but even so, there was no way to make Xu Ji feel at ease.

"Don't you know what the general's plan means? What if the general has not been able to unify the contradictions within the ten permanent servants? Xu Ji really couldn't hold back his anxiety, Zhang Rang's appearance of winning gave Xu Ji the feeling of being forced to disguise, and there was really no way to make Xu Ji feel at ease.

And Zhang Rang just smiled when he heard Xu Ji's anxious question, and then turned his back and stopped looking at Xu Ji: "Wen Lie, rest assured, everything is handed over to the old slave." If you can't do anything, Wen Lie can leave Luoyang while the old slave is dead, presumably He Jin will not have the ability to find you. Xu Ji frowned slightly when he heard this, Zhang Rang's words were already a little low and frustrated, Xu Ji could hardly imagine that such words could come out of Zhang Rang's mouth, this was obviously not a good omen. Looking up at Zhang Rang's back, he saw that the back of the old man who was nearly half a hundred years old was no longer upright, and a sense of twilight arose spontaneously, Xu Ji suddenly understood that Zhang Rang had never thought that he was going to win. His purpose was to die.

"Chang Shi, do you want to die?" Xu Ji asked softly. Although he couldn't see the look on Zhang Rang's face, Xu Ji instinctively felt that Zhang Rang seemed to be smiling: "Wen Lie, the old slave has seen through this world since he became a permanent servant. There is no nostalgia anymore. Originally, I was going to set off a storm, but your appearance brought me some new ideas, you are similar to me back then. There is no difference in character and behavior. But in this world, there is no way for you and me to get ahead, so I want to push you down. It's about validating your abilities and trying to help you. Wen Lie. You are doing very well, even better than I imagined, every step is very steady, this is something worthy of affirmation, but God does not fulfill people's wishes, I can't see where you can go, you are the person I pinned my hopes on, Zhang Rang's only priority now is to pave the way for you. Remember, Wen Lie, live for yourself! ”

Although Zhang Rang did not answer Xu Ji's question directly, the meaning revealed in his words could not be clearer, Zhang Rang was already explaining the aftermath. To tell the truth, Xu Ji has always been very disgusted with Zhang Rang, but at this moment Xu Ji can't have any disgust for the master with the back in front of him, although Zhang Rang is not out of good intentions to help him, but kindness is kindness, which cannot be denied, not to mention that now Zhang Rang is almost going to pave the way for him with his own life, Zhang Rang regards Xu Ji as his once ideal sustenance.

Xu Ji knelt down and bowed respectfully: "The juniors have written it down, Mr. 's kindness is difficult to repay in this life, and the juniors can only keep it for the next life to repay." Hearing Xu Ji's words, Zhang Rang turned around, Xu Ji looked up and saw that the face that usually had a false smile on his face was not adulterated at this time, Zhang Rang stepped forward to help Xu Ji and stroked Xu Ji's shoulder with his hand and said: "Wen Lie, there is no longer a cure for the big man, no matter who lives or dies with He Jin or me, you must leave, I will not have too much time to fight, once I or He Jin die, Liu Hong will definitely not be able to tolerate you." Liu Hong's temperament must be Wen Lie, you also know very well, I don't need to say more, Wen Lie, your vision has always been vicious, and you will be in charge of the future affairs, there is no escort person, Wen Lie, be cautious in everything. ”

Xu Ji didn't answer, just nodded and signaled that he had written it down, and then Zhang Rang patted Xu Ji's back and said: "Go back and prepare, Luoyang will inevitably be in turmoil in the past few days, and you can grasp the opportunity to leave, if it is possible, find Liu Hong to ask for a holy decree to return to Chen to stay, where you started, and now Luoyang has become a place of right and wrong, don't stay for a long time!" After saying this, Zhang Rang no longer paid attention to Xu Ji, but left by himself, looking at Zhang Rang's slow and slightly stumbling steps, Xu Ji suddenly felt a little sad, but at the same time, he also felt the burden on his shoulders, and now Xu Ji has more things on his back. Not just for himself, but also for the wishes of this old man.

Although Zhang Rang couldn't see it, Xu Ji still bowed deeply to Zhang Rang's departing back before leaving. But what Xu Ji didn't know was that Zhang Rang also turned around and looked deeply at Xu Ji's back when Xu Ji turned to leave, and his face was full of old tears. At the same time, Zhang Rang also muttered to himself: "Go all the way, in the future, how far can you go, let the old man see how far he can go at the beginning." ”

At the same time, He Jin also convened a group of people to discuss how to solve the matter of the Ten Standing Servants, after all, He Jin is a legitimate general of the dynasty, and there are really a lot of people gathered in his mansion, and there are naturally a lot of opinions on the Ten Standing Servants. It was difficult to make a decision for a while, not to mention that it made He Jin extremely big, and he couldn't bear to talk back and forth with these literati. So he simply left everyone and prepared to enter the palace to see his sister, originally these party members and Qingliu didn't look down on He Jin, but they were happier when this person left, so no one cared about him at all.

He Jin's mansion is naturally not far from the palace, and when he was walking outside the palace gate, someone suddenly grabbed He Jin's clothes from behind, He Jin was in a bad mood, and when he was about to turn around and scold, he saw that the person who grabbed him was Sima Pan Yin, and when he saw that it was this person, He Jin suppressed his anger and frowned and asked: "Why is Pan Gong like this?" ”

And Pan Yin looked around and pulled He Jin aside and saluted He respectfully: "The general must not enter the palace, Jian Shuo has already been sparse from His Majesty yesterday." Words want to get rid of the general. He Jin was shocked when he heard this, and immediately glared and asked, "Is Pan Gong's words true?" Pan Yin naturally nodded and swore that there would be no deception, so this palace naturally did not dare to enter, and He Jin immediately turned his head and went back to the house.

At first, he was shocked to hear that Jian Shuo wanted to get rid of He Jin, but on the way home, he became more and more angry. What is this Jian Shuo, it's just a dog next to Liu Hong, where does he have the face to get rid of himself now? He Jin reacted to this question very quickly. immediately reacted that this was most likely Zhang Rang's idea, and He Jin was even more furious when he thought of this. On his side, he was thinking about how to deal with Zhang Rang's kind of party friends, but he didn't expect that Zhang Rang had already taken the lead.

When he returned to the house, He Jin became more and more angry in his heart. Immediately ordered someone to summon the courtiers to his mansion to discuss matters, and the general summoned these guys naturally did not dare to slack off, but except for the officials of the Ten Standing Servants, He Jin ignored Xu Ji, who was close to an alley.

He Jin had already summoned people to discuss this matter before, but those were all his staff or the people under his command, these guys naturally didn't have any good ideas, but at this time, the knowledge of this courtiers was not comparable to those guys, He Jin told his previous experience that these courtiers were excited, when even if He Jin waved his troops into the palace to kill the eunuchs, He Jin naturally wanted to get rid of the ten permanent servants in his heart, but he was still unwilling to take risks in his heart, and waving his army into the palace was tantamount to slapping Liu Hong in the faceIn this way, Liu Hong was only afraid that his dissatisfaction with himself would become more and more serious, and He Jin didn't want to do this kind of thing that didn't have any benefits, so he was a little reluctant at that time, but he didn't show it, but sat in silence in the hall.

At this moment, a voice full of energy suddenly came from the hall: "The momentum of the eunuch starts from the time of rush and quality; The imperial court is extremely widespread, and can it be punished? If the opportunity is not secret, there will be a catastrophe of extermination: please be careful. ”

He Jin looked up at the person who made the sound, and saw that it was Cao Cao, the captain of the Xiyuan Military Academy. To be honest, He Jin has a bad impression of Cao Cao, Cao Cao's grandfather is also a eunuch, and He Jin has never had a good face for the people in the Xiyuan family, so he immediately changed his face and reprimanded angrily: "You junior knows the major affairs of the court? Cao Cao was kind, but he didn't expect to get such a response, and his heart was suddenly gloomy, and then he looked around and didn't see Xu Ji, he naturally understood in his heart, so he stopped talking and retreated into the crowd. To say that what he said to Cao Cao is extremely reasonable, the Ten Standing Servants are deeply rooted, where is it so easy to deal with? At that time, Liu Tao, a world-famous national scholar, was falsely accused by the ten permanent servants of colluding with Zhang Jiao and died in prison because he admonished the ten permanent servants, and such a royal relative ended up in such a miserable end, which shows the ability of the ten permanent servants. Originally, Cao Cao was still counting on Xu Ji, who was a concubine, to dissuade He Jin, but when he didn't find Xu Ji just now, Cao Cao also knew in his heart that except for Yuan Shao, everyone in the West Garden family was afraid that they would not like it.

After Cao Cao retreated, there was naturally a lot of discussion, although He Jin was impatient, but at this time, he could only wait for these ministers to discuss a charter, and at this time Pan Yin came to He Jin's mansion. When He Jin saw his benefactor coming, he immediately smiled and said: "If it weren't for Pan Gong, he would have been murdered by eunuchs." I can't thank you enough. And Pan Yin only saluted respectfully and then said: "Jian Shuo somehow said that His Majesty listened to his slander, and even wanted to deceive the general who was seriously ill to enter the palace. Jian Shuo and others killed the general, and now, the messenger is afraid that it will arrive. ”

He Jin was shocked when he heard this, this is not a joke, Liu Hong deceived himself into the palace and did it, which means that Liu Hong has long distrusted himself and even wants to get rid of it, at this time He Jin is really anxious like an ant on a hot pot, at this time the messenger really came, He Jin saw that this was still an "acquaintance", it was the little yellow door next to Zhang Rang. Suddenly, He Jin's heart was cold, Liu Hong had already made up his mind to this point, and He Jin was really almost desperate.

The envoy read out Liu Hong's holy decree with an expressionless face, which read: "I am terminally ill, but the affairs of the country are important, and the general should enter the palace as soon as possible to arrange for the future." "It's written simply, but where can He Jin not hear the cold killing intent in it? It's just that this is the holy decree He Jin has to follow, once he doesn't do it, it's simpler, and he doesn't need to come to Jianshuo. If you don't obey the order, you can take He Jin's life.

After Xiao Huangmen read it, he handed over the holy decree to He Jin and said: "The general must have heard it, I am afraid that His Majesty will be difficult to maintain, and please follow me into the palace as soon as possible." Where did He Jin dare to enter the palace like this, he immediately said in a hurry: "Father-in-law, go and wait for me outside the door." Let me put on my armor and go. Of course, this is a lame excuse, but Xiao Huangmen can't tell the general of the current dynasty, so he has to repeatedly tell He Jin to wait outside the mansion as soon as possible. He Jin breathed a sigh of relief slightly. Fortunately, he received the envoy in the side hall, and he didn't let Xiao Huangmen see that most of the courtiers were already in his own house.

After returning to the main hall with the holy decree, He Jin informed everyone of the matter. Everyone was talking again, where did He Jin have so much time to wait for these people to discuss slowly. Immediately yelled, "Shut up, what should I do?" Which one came up with an idea? Cao Cao wanted to stop talking, but when he saw that everyone in the hall was silent, he had to say loudly: "Now you should take Your Majesty as the priority, and the general will enter the palace with a sword and armor, and I will be willing to follow you." He Jin saw that none of the civil and military officers in the hall could come up with an idea, but it was Cao Cao, who had reprimanded him before, who had spoken to him, and naturally he was extremely unhappy in his heart, but He Jin also knew that Lu Dao was not the time to care about these at this time, so when he opened his mouth to Cao Cao, he asked: "What is Meng De's opinion?" ”

Cao Cao actually didn't want to have anything to do with this rough man He Jin, but now that it was a matter of social affairs, he had to temporarily let go of the unhappiness in his heart and said: "Today's plan, first it is advisable to be on the throne, and then to be a thief." ”

Cao Cao is very particular about what he said, what is the right throne? is nothing more than the establishment of a new king, this is naturally in line with He Jin's thoughts, Liu Hong treats himself like this He Jin also has a temper, naturally there is nothing to continue to be sent by Liu Hong, Zhang Rang This group of people He Jin does not pay attention to it at all, he is a general, the general leader of the soldiers and horses, how can he be afraid of a few eunuchs?

So He Jin also nodded in agreement with Cao Cao's statement, and then said to the full hall of civil and martial arts: "Who dares to fight with my Zhengjun for thieves?" As soon as the words fell, he saw a person standing out of the crowd, and Cao Cao looked at it closely, and it was Yuan Shao, who had been extremely calm recently. Cao Cao suddenly felt a little dissatisfied with Yuan Shao in his heart, this guy is used to taking advantage of others, but his own opinions were robbed by this guy, although Cao Cao didn't care so much about this so-called credit, but Yuan Shao's approach made Cao Cao feel very dissatisfied.

Yuan Shao naturally didn't know what Cao Cao was thinking, he didn't even look at Cao Cao but stared at He Jindao: "I am willing to borrow 5,000 elite soldiers, cut the pass in, set up a new monarch, punish the eunuchs, sweep the court, and calm the world!" ”

Cao Cao sneered even more in his heart when he heard this, the children of this family can't even compare to Xu Ji and dare to borrow 5,000 soldiers, which is simply beyond his strength, and what makes Cao Cao look down on Yuan Shao is to deal with a few eunuchs Yuan Shao is embarrassed to ask for 5,000 people.

Cao Cao is now accustomed to comparing Yuan Shao and Xu Ji, it's not that Cao Cao has any quirks, it's really that Yuan Shao's actions are really underestimated, and even a person from a poor family can't be compared, such a person is also qualified to be a model for a scholar? Cao Cao really looked down on Yuan Shao.

However, no matter what Cao Cao thought, He Jin was already overjoyed, and immediately ordered the adjutant to pick up five thousand imperial forest troops and hand them over to Yuan Shao, and his ancestors followed the Xiaohuangmen to attack, of course, these courtiers are also going to go, this is a big event, there is no reason to be absent, but Cao Cao is already happy, no matter how the situation develops, it has nothing to do with him Cao Cao.

At this time, Cao Cao did not go to the palace with the flow of people, he wanted to meet Xu Ji first, maybe he could get something else from Xu Ji, at least, Cao Cao thought so. (To be continued......)
