The next day, the Empress Dowager Dong issued a decree that the prince Liu Xie was the king of Chen Liu, Dong Zhong was the hussar general, and Zhang Rang and others participated in the court politics.

Seeing that Empress Dowager Dong was in power, Empress Dowager He set up a banquet in the palace and invited Empress Dowager Dong to the banquet. When the wine was halfway, Empress Dowager He got up and held the cup and said again: "We are all women, and it is not his duty to participate in the government and politics." Back then, Empress Lu held great power, and thousands of people in the clan were killed. Now we should dwell deep in the ninefold; For major matters in the imperial court, the ministers and elders discuss on their own, which is the luck of the country. I would like to hear. ”

Empress Dowager Dong was furious and said, "You were poisoned by Wang Meiren, and you are jealous." Now in the trend of your son for you, and your brother He Jin, don't dare to talk nonsense! I command the hussars to cut off your brother's head, as easy as a snap! ”

He Hou was also angry and said, "I used good words to persuade you, why are you angry?" ”

Empress Dowager Dong said: "Your Tugu car, what is your opinion!" ”

The two palaces competed with each other, and Zhang Rang and others persuaded them to return to the palace.

He Hou summoned He into the palace overnight, and He Jin said: "Tomorrow morning, the court will convene the three princes to discuss together." Tomorrow morning, let the court minister ask the Empress Dowager Dong to be a concubine, not suitable to live in the palace for a long time, merge and move to the river to resettle, and the next day is to go abroad. On the one hand, he sent people to send Dong Hou; On the one hand, the army was forbidden to surround the mansion of the hussar general Dong Chong and pursue the seal. ”

Dong Zhong knew the urgency of the matter and committed suicide in the back hall. Families are mourning, and the soldiers are scattering.

Zhang Rang and Duan Qi were abolished by the Empress Dowager Dong, so they all put the gold, silver, jewelry, and antique structure He Jin's younger brother He Miao, together with his mother Wuyangjun, to enter the Empress Dowager He sooner or later, and covered it with kind words: so that the ten permanent servants can get close to the emperor again.

In June, He Jin secretly sent someone to kill Dong Zhuo with poisonous wine and then returned to the capital with a coffin in the Hejian Post Court, and was buried in Wenling. Entering is called sick and not going out.

Yuan Shao, the lieutenant of Sili, went in and said: Zhang Rang, Duan Qi and others are rumors, and they suggest that you poison Dong Zhuo with poisonous wine and want to plot something big. If you don't kill the eunuchs at this time, it will definitely be a catastrophe later. In the past, Dou Wu wanted to kill the eunuchs, but his plan was not secret, but he suffered from it. Now your brothers' generals, officers, and officials are all handsome men; If you do your best, things are in your hands. This is a godsend and should not be missed. ”

He Jin said: "And it is not negotiable. "Left and right secretly reported to Zhang Rang, let us tell He Miao, and send more bribes.

Empress Dowager Miao He said: "The general assists the new monarch, does not practice mercy, and specializes in killing. Now he wants to kill the Ten Servants for no reason, which is a way to confuse the country. ”

He then adopted his advice. After a while, He entered the white queen and wanted to kill the permanent servant.

He Hou said: "The eunuchs rule the palace, and the old system of the Han family. The first emperor has just passed away, and you want to kill the old ministers, isn't it not a temple? ”

He Jin was originally an indecisive person, but after hearing this, he nodded and came out.

Yuan Shaoying asked, "How are things?" ”

He Jin said: "The Queen Mother doesn't agree, what can I do?" ”

Yuan Shao said: "You can gather the heroes of the Quartet, lead the troops to the capital, and kill all the eunuchs." Now the matter is critical, and the Queen Mother is not allowed to disagree. ”

He Jin said: "This plan is wonderful! So he sent a message to the towns and recalled him to the capital.

Lord Bo Chenlin said: "No! As the saying goes: close your eyes and catch birds, this is self-deception, small things can't be deceived to achieve, let alone national events? Now the general relies on the majesty of the emperor, is in charge of the military power, and the dragon and the tiger are in his heart: if he wants to kill the eunuchs, it is just like a drum and a furnace to burn his hair. As long as he is quick to rage and the agency is decisive, the natural person will obey. However, the minister of foreign affairs, in the face of the invasion of the capital, the heroes gathered, each with one heart: the so-called reversal of the war, giving people a handle, success may not necessarily succeed, and there will be chaos. ”

He Jin smiled and said, "This is the performance of a coward!" A person next to him applauded and laughed and said, "This matter is so easy, why do you have to discuss it more!" ”

Besides, Cao Cao said to He Jin at that time: "The calamity of eunuchs has existed in ancient and modern times; But the king should not give him power. If he wants to be punished for his sins, when the first evil is removed, it is enough to pay only one jailer, why do they call in foreign soldiers one after another? If you want to kill it all, things will inevitably leak. ”

He Jin said angrily: "Is Cao Cao also selfish? “

Cao Cao retreated and said: "The person who is in turmoil in the world must be He Jin." ”

He Jin secretly sent an order to go to the towns overnight with a secret edict.

It is said that General Zhenxi, Ao Xianghou, and Dong Zhuo, the assassin of Xiliangzhou, first defeated the Yellow Turban Army in vain, and the court discussed to punish him, and he was spared by bribing the ten permanent servants; Later, he befriended the dignitaries of the imperial court, so he was appointed as a prominent official, commanding the 200,000 troops of Xizhou, and often had a heart of disobedience.

At this time, he was very happy to receive the emperor's order, and he lit the military horses and did it one after another; Let his son-in-law Zhonglang assist Niu Fu and hold on to Shaanxi. But he took Li Hi, Guo Yan, Fan Chou, Zhang Ji and others to lead troops to Luoyang and marched.

Dong Zhuo's son-in-law strategist Li Ru said: "Although the edict is issued now, there is a lot of dark smell in the middle. Why don't you send someone to the table, the name is right, and great things can be done. ”

Dong Zhuo was very happy, so he went to the table. Probably said: "I heard that the reason why the country is in chaos is because of the reason why Zhang Rang and others, the regular attendants of the Yellow Gate, despise the heavens. I've heard that it's better to raise the soup to stop boiling, than to draw the salary from the bottom of the kettle; Although the carbuncle is painful, if it is not cut off, it is like nourishing poison. The ministers bravely led the troops to Luoyang, just to eradicate Zhang Rang and other traitorous ministers who misled the country and the people. This is the luck of the country! A blessing for the people of the world! ”

He Jin got the table and showed the minister. The servant Shi Zheng Tai advised: "Dong Zhuo is a jackal, if he introduces the capital city, he will definitely eat people." ”

He Jin said: "You are too suspicious, you can't plot big things." Lu Zhi also dissuaded: "Zhi Pingsu knows that Dong Zhuo is a person, and he has a good face and a ruthless heart; As soon as you enter the palace, you will bring disaster. It is better to dissuade him from coming and avoid causing confusion. ”

He Jin didn't listen, Zheng Tai and Lu Zhi both abandoned their officials and left. The ministers of the court, most of the people who are gone. Someone was sent to greet Dong Zhuo in Michi, but Dong Zhuo did not move.

Zhang Rang and the others knew that the foreign soldiers had arrived, and they discussed together: "This is He Jin's strategy, if we don't strike first, we will all be wiped out." ”

He ordered fifty people including the shilling knife and axe hand to ambush in the Jiade Gate of Changle Palace, and said to the Empress Dowager He: "Now the general has issued a false edict to recruit soldiers outside the capital, and wants to destroy us, and I hope that Niangniang will have mercy and help." “

Empress Dowager He said: "You can go to the General's Mansion to apologize." ”

Zhang Rang said: "If we go to the General's Mansion, I'm afraid we will have to be crushed." Hope Niangniang Xuanda General entered the palace and told him. If not, we will only ask for a death in front of the mother. ”

The Queen Mother issued an edict announcing that He Jin entered the palace.

He then got the edict and set off. Chen Lin, the chief bookkeeper, dissuaded: "The edict of the Queen Mother must be a conspiracy of the ten permanent servants, and you must not go." Woe to you if you leave. ”

He Jin said: "The Queen Mother ordered me, what is the big disaster? ”

Yuan Shao said: "Now that the conspiracy has been leaked and the matter has been revealed, does the general still want to enter the palace?" “

Cao Cao said: "Call out the ten permanent servants first, and then you can enter." ”

He Jin smiled and said, "This is the performance of a child. I am in charge of the power of the world, how about the ten permanent servants who dare not wait? ”

He Jin continued: "If you must go, we will lead the armor to guard the entourage in case of accidents. ”

So Yuan Shao and Cao Cao each selected 500 elite soldiers and appointed Yuan Shao's younger brother Yuan Shu to lead them. Yuan Shu was draped all over his body and led the army to be arranged outside the Qingzuo Gate. Yuan Shao and Cao Cao escorted the sword into front of Changle Palace.

Huangmen Chuan Yi said: "The Queen Mother specially announced the general, and the rest of the people are not allowed to enter casually." "Block Yuan Shao, Cao Cao and others outside the palace gate.

He Jin came in proudly. When they arrived at the gate of the Jiade Palace, Zhang Rang and Duan Jue came out, surrounded by people from the left and right, and He Jin was taken aback.

Zhang Rang severely reprimanded Jin Yan and said: "What crime did Empress Dong have to be poisoned by you in vain? The funeral of the mother of the country, I can't get sick! You were originally a junior in Tugu, and the Son of Heaven we recommended married your sister to make you glorious; Don't want to repay, but want to murder us, you say we are very dirty, so who is clear? ”

He Jin panicked and wanted to find a way out, but the gate of the palace was completely closed, and the armor soldiers who were in ambush next to him rushed out and cut He Jin in two.

Zhang Rang and others had already killed He Jin, and Yuan Shao hadn't seen He Jin or out for a long time, so he shouted outside the palace gate: "Please get in the car!" ”

Zhang Rang and others threw He Jin's head out of the wall and announced: "He Jin rebelled and has been killed!" The rest of the coercion shall be pardoned. ”

Yuan Shao shouted: "The eunuch plotted to kill the minister!" The people who killed the evil party came to help in the war! "Hao Kuang, the general of He's subordinates, set a fire outside the Qingzuo Gate.

Yuan Shu led the troops into the palace suddenly, but saw that the eunuchs, no matter how big or small, were all killed. Yuan Shao and Cao Cao entered the court. Zhao Zhong, Xia Yun, Cheng Kuang, and Guo Sheng were driven to the Jade Flower Building and chopped into meat puree. The palace was in flames.

Zhang Rang, Duan Jue, Cao Jie, and Hou Lan abducted the Empress Dowager, the crown prince and King Chen Liu, and fled to the North Palace from the back road. At that time, Lu Zhi abandoned the official and did not go, and when he saw the changes in the palace, he was wearing armor and holding Ge, standing in Your Excellency.
