Chapter 100, Blood Splattered Palace Wall
"Are you mocking me for being a fish and a knife?!" He Jin glanced at him coldly, raised his voice and said, "Liechen, you are so bold!" β
"General, this is the Hongmen Banquet!" Zu Zhao exclaimed, paused, and wanted to say something, but Cao Cao behind him patted him on the shoulder, signaling that he didn't need to say more.
Then, Cao Cao turned his head and smiled: "The general wants to go, and if you want to be safe, it's actually very easy, first call the ten permanent servants out of the palace, and then you can go!" In this way, there will be no worries about the martyrs in the first place. When the time comes, the general just goes to see the queen mother, and the martyr is with him, and he will go to solve the source of the trouble, the annoying gelding! β
Cao Cao was worried that what Zu Zhao said would anger He Jin, but he would not get good, so he played a round from it, and at the same time proposed a solution to enter the palace. Zu Zhao also nodded slightly when he heard this, indeed, as long as the ten permanent servants are not in the palace, then He Jin will go anywhere, this Cao Cao is worthy of Cao Cao! It's just that these ten permanent servants are really that easy to get out?!
Zu Zhao's worries were completely unnecessary, because He Jin did not consider Cao Cao's proposal at all.
He was arrogant and blindly arrogant and underestimated the enemy, and because Cao Cao persuaded him not to summon foreign soldiers before, he felt that Cao Cao had selfish intentions, so he couldn't listen to this at all, and just sneered: "Fallacy! A few geldings scared you like this, and I think your ability has yet to be verified, and I don't know if the road is suitable for your current position. β
Zu Zhao and Cao Cao exchanged a look, and they both saw helplessness and a trace of disdain in each other's eyes, and immediately, they didn't plan to say anything more.
Zu Zhao said in his heart: People are in a hurry to send them to death, why should they have a hot face and a cold ass? has to be questioned about his ability, this He Jin has really been an official for so many years in vain, and he still doesn't know the way of the emperor, so let him go. Anyway, with such a straw bag in power, the situation will not be much better. It is better to conform to history and act at the opportune moment. Thinking of this, he made up his mind not to say anything, just let them arrange.
And Yuan Shao saw that he couldn't persuade He Jin, so he said: "If the general has to go, I will lead troops to protect the general, although I don't know what dangers lie ahead, but it's better than not having any preparation." Yuan Shao's current mood is actually similar to Zu Zhao and Cao Cao, anyway, since he doesn't listen to persuasion, then it can only be like this.
But the three of them, including Chen Lin, actually knew that this was just a way to make up for the dead, if the Ten Standing Servants really wanted to kill He Jin, even if they led troops to protect them?! In the palace land, there are ways to keep them outside the door, and there are ways to kill He Jin, a fool.
However, what can be done? He hurried up, and they couldn't stop him.
This method was approved by He Jin, who greatly praised Yuan Shao, feeling that he was knowledgeable and wise, and then ordered them to go down to lead the troops.
Not long after, Yuan Shao and Cao Cao each ordered 500 elite soldiers, and let their respective lieutenants wear their bodies and go into battle. Surrounded in front of He Jin's Babaohua car. In the nearest position in front of the car, two heroic young men sat on a tall horse, each with a long sword at his waist, and he was also dressed as a warrior.
These two people are Cao Cao and Zu Zhao. Yuan Shao, who was dressed like them, opened the way at the front of the team, and the two of them were responsible for protecting He Jin in the convoy.
The two of them rode on tall horses, and they received countless onlookers along the way, and they were all accustomed to it. When there were a little fewer people around, Cao Cao took the reins and let his horse get a little closer to Zu Zhao, and then said: "Liechen, I just heard you say that the truth of fifty percent interests and ten percent benefits is the source?" β
"Cao Gong," Zu Zhao was still very respectful to Cao Cao, "At that time, this was just a small rule summed up in the market when the villain had not made a career in his early years - the woodcutter worked tirelessly to earn a salary, the pharmacist was willing to risk his life to collect medicine, and the robber did not abide by the law for money, these are all true." Although my summary is a bit nonsense, it is not all nonsense. At that time, in order to persuade General He, he could only put out this set of theories that were not very mature and difficult to scrutinize, which was really ridiculous and generous. "Of course, he can't say that this is the theory of the great thinker Marx.
"The Liechen is too humble!" Cao Cao said, "This is human nature!" What you say is straightforward, but it is also very reasonable. How many people can keep their hearts......" Cao Cao's eyes were far away and thoughtful, and his words seemed to be talking to himself, and his voice was extremely soft.
Zu Zhaomu does not squint, but does not hear. In the future, Kyushu will be on guard, and it is useless to say more. The person in front of him is a character who "would rather me bear the world than the world should bear me", although he respects it, he is also vigilant.
"Gong Cao, the front is at the root of the Imperial City. In your opinion, how can we deploy to ensure the safety of the general to the greatest extent? Zu Zhao opened the subject.
Cao Cao glanced back at the gorgeous carriage, and there was a sarcastic look in his eyes: "Do your best." It is impossible for the palace to bring troops in, but the honor guard can, but the number of honor guards cannot be too much, and two three hundred is already the limit. After passing the Qingzuo Gate, you, me, and Ben Chu escorted the general inside, and no matter how powerful the ten permanent servants were, they were just some geldings, and their martial arts were not tight. When he said this, Cao Cao's eyes were even more contemptuous, and that attitude was as if killing the ten permanent servants was dirty his sword.
"But if there is an ambush ......" the ten permanent servants have no force value, it does not mean that they will not arrange ambushes, as long as they enter the palace, it will be like a turtle into the urn - thinking of this, Zu Zhao suddenly remembered the sentence He Jin said to the butcher before, "People are swords, I am fish and meat", and suddenly felt that it was really a bit appropriate.
Cao Cao looked left and right, and suddenly whispered: "Act when you see the opportunity, so that you can do it yourself." β
Zu Zhao nodded and said yes, but suddenly sighed in his heart, it seems that even if it wasn't for himself, a person who knew a little about what happened later because of the hanging, others actually knew that He Dao entered the palace this time It was a dead end than a living road.
It turns out that "those who know the times are junjie" can still be expressed in this way.
The sky was overcast, and it seemed that something was brewing. Zu Zhao thought that if at this time, He Jin figured it out and didn't go to the palace. Can such a reckless and brainless person really make the country stable for a long time? He doesn't know the way, and he doesn't want to know the way.
Outside the Qingzuo Gate, the two lieutenants under Cao Cao and Yuan Shao stood in private, while Yuan Shao's younger brother Yuan Shu walked out of the ranks and brought out two teams dressed differently from other soldiers, this is He Jin's honor guard.
said that it was a guard of honor, but in fact, it was all disguised by the soldiers. Zu Zhao believed that as long as there was a need, this team of men and horses would be able to pull out a bright knife from under the dark crown. Moreover, this must be the elite of the soldiers under Yuan Shao and Cao Cao. Look at the pace and movements, which are completely comparable to any guard of honor.
Zu Zhao is also a person who has trained soldiers, and he knows very well in his heart that those who can practice to such a level must be able to fight and kill strong goods! Oh, I don't know if he is sparing his life or the two of them are sparing their lives. But Zu Zhao knew that if he wanted to do what he wanted to do, he had to follow Yuan Shao and Cao Cao closely, and then make a move when it was time to make a move.
The soldiers who were waiting for them were left outside the Qingzuo Gate, while Yuan Shao, Cao Cao, and Zu Zhao followed He Jin with fan-shaped swords, and marched to the depths of the palace surrounded by the honor guard.
After passing the Qingzuo Gate, the atmosphere began to be depressed a little, because everyone didn't know what the little people of the Ten Permanent Servants of the Lu Dao were waiting for. He Jin also frowned, and even slowed down.
A palace maid who came to greet He Jin led the way at the front, and when she saw that he was busy, she turned her head and urged: "General, the Queen Mother is looking for you urgently, it's better to hurry up." β
Hearing her urging like this, He Jin didn't speak, but just walked forward at a leisurely pace. The palace maid was probably forced by his majesty, so she didn't dare to say anything more, but turned around and lowered her head to lead the way.
Zu Zhao, Cao Cao, and Yuan Shao were all a little nervous. When the palace maid saw that they were slowing down, she urged, as if she was in a hurry to take them somewhere, the situation was not good...... The three of them all put their hands on their swords.
The palace was quiet, only the footsteps of them as they walked by. Short and messy, as if ringing a bell for life.
In front of Changle Palace, He Jin was about to go in, Zu Zhao, Cao Cao, and Yuan Shao were also following behind, however, before they were about to go in, they heard a person: "The Queen Mother only announced the arrival of the general, and the rest of the people are not allowed to enter!" β
It was a eunuch who made the decree, and they were already unhappy with the eunuch, and now they don't want to be him.
Zu Zhao said: "You said that if you are not allowed to enter, you are not allowed to enter?" What kind of thing are you? Can't the dignified general even bring his entourage and honor guard with him?! What is the etiquette system? β
The eunuch obviously didn't expect Zu Zhao to say this, he was stunned, and stammered: "This ...... This is the Queen Mother's Changle Palace, in the Changle Palace, the general's guard of honor, that is really inconsistent. β
Zu Zhao originally wanted to delay the time with two more mouths - didn't the daughter of the palace urge, he was deliberately slow, and He Jin seemed to agree with Zu Zhao's behavior, and he didn't mean to stop him at all.
As a result, at this time, the palace maid who led the way suddenly took out a delicate seal of white marble, and said loudly: "The Queen Mother's Decree - General Xuanda will enter the house to see, and all idle people will enter without permission!" β
He Jin looked at the jade seal and found that it was his daughter's private seal, although Zu Zhao didn't recognize it, but the appearance of the phoenix on the jade seal was clear.
Except for He Jin, who bowed his head and saluted, the rest of the people knelt down one after another, and the mountain called the Queen Mother a thousand years old.
"General, please......" The palace maid Si Siran spread her hands, looking humble, but a little arrogant.
He Jin straightened up and glanced at the three of them, with a look of hesitation in his eyes. Only now did he regret it somewhat.
"Is the general scared alone?!" The eunuch who was stammering just now had some sarcasm.
Zu Zhao scolded in his heart: What kind of person is this, it is so obvious, He Jin shouldn't go in......
But He Jin was originally a person who was easily provoked, and now that the eunuch said this, He Jin, who didn't want to go in, lifted his robe, stepped into the threshold, and glared at the eunuch: "Think about how to die, and then appear in front of me." β
The palace gate of Changle Palace was slammed shut in front of Zu Zhao, Yuan Shao, and Cao Cao.
After He Jin entered the palace gate, the sound of the palace gate closing behind him made his heart tremble. The road under his feet is the road he is familiar with, and at the end of the road is where his daughter, the current Queen Mother, is located. Thinking like this, he seems to have gained some confidence, he is the supreme general who is above tens of thousands of people under one person, and holds the power of the world, what is there to be afraid of!
He strode with his head held high, and seemed to walk more swaggering than usual.
However, when he was halfway there, a person suddenly turned out from behind the dwarf wood next to him, and it was Zhang Rang, who had been let go by him before.
Without waiting for He Jin to ask him what he was not courteous for, Zhang Rang crossed his waist with one hand, pointed at He Jin's nose with one hand and scolded: "Traitor!" Empress Dowager Dong is so innocent, you actually poisoned her, her heart can be punished! β
He Jin was taken aback by him, and suddenly felt that something was wrong, so he turned around and wanted to go back, but when he turned around, he saw another person jumping out: "Butcher!" You've been blessed by me, but now that you're in power, you don't want to repay us, you even want to kill us! A villain like you who will take revenge is simply not worthy to live in this world! As he spoke, the man rushed towards He Jin with a short knife.
He Jin was shocked, dodged left and right, and after dodging, he was overjoyed in his heart, and ran towards the gate. As everyone knows, behind him, the two eunuchs looked at him like monkeys, sneering.
Just when He Jin was still more than a dozen steps away from the gate, suddenly many Praetorian Guards rushed out from the ambush on both sides, with bright knives and guns in their hands, and rushed straight to He Jin, He Jin shouted at Zhang and asked them: "If I don't die, I will add you to the rank and knighthood, and ensure that you and your family will be prosperous and rich for a lifetime!" β
However, these words did not bring a turn for his fate, and in an instant, he was overwhelmed by the ambush soldiers, and his body was full of spears.
Zhang Rang and Duan Qi glanced at each other, then turned around and walked towards the palace.
Oh, glory and wealth? They want glory and wealth, do they need him to give it?! This is revenge and power, not just profit. This butcher is really naΓ―ve and ridiculous.
Let's say that Zu Zhao and the others, who were waiting outside the Changle Palace, saw that He Jin had not come out since he entered, and they all felt that something was wrong. Yuan Shao and Cao Cao looked at each other, and their faces were not very good.
Zu Zhao paced back and forth twice outside the palace gate, and said, "Duke Cao, Duke Yuan, it's not a matter for us to wait like this, it's better to explore the truth!" β
Yuan Shao and Cao Cao both looked at him, and Yuan Shao said, "What kind of way to explore the truth and the truth?!" β
Cao Cao said directly: "Liechen, if you have any way to explore the truth, just do it." β
Zu Zhao looked at Yuan Shao, and saw that Yuan Shao also nodded approvingly, so he took a horse outside the palace gate, and after taking a breath, he shouted loudly inside: "It's not early, please get in the car!" β
The palace gate is heavy, the road behind the door is deep, and the sound insulation effect is also good. Otherwise, when something happens inside, it is impossible for people outside not to hear anything. And now, when Zu Zhao shouted this, he blessed a little internal force, and suddenly the sound was like a bell, not to mention the Changle Palace separated by a wall, even the personal soldiers of Yuan Shao and Cao Cao who were standing outside the Qingzuo Gate were faintly heard.
Of course, after Zu Zhao shouted this, he still held his chest and gasped, sighing in his heart that he couldn't break his throat.
Yuan Shao and Cao Cao were dumbfounded, and they both had some doubts in their hearts about whether this simple and crude method was useful.
As a result, the two of them were hesitating, but a crack opened in the palace gate in front of them, and then, a head rolled out, and the bluestone steps were long, and the blood stains were mottled down all the way.
Zhao Zhong stood behind the door and said loudly: "He Jin rebelled against the thief, committed a rebellion, the queen of the dove, coerced the young master, colluded with the foreign ministers to rebel, and now he has been ambushed, you should have sat together, but fortunately, the grace of heaven is vast, and when I feel this employment, I will pardon you and other sins, and I hope to wear the ...... of sin."
"Sin against your sister!!" Poor Zhao Zhong didn't finish a word, but Zu Zhao flashed out of the crack in the door, and broke his neck with a "click".
Before Zu Zhao's words fell, Yuan Shao's voice like a bell sounded violently: "The eunuch killed my important ministers of the court, and the people who killed the evil party came to help me quickly!" His voice was louder than that of Shicai Zuzhao, and the people outside the Qingzuo Gate could hear it clearly, and in an instant, eight hundred soldiers and horses came in together.
And Yuan Shao pulled out the long sword at his waist, took the lead in kicking open the palace door that was about to close, and shouted: "Brothers, give it to me!" Avenge the general! β
Zu Zhao Cao Cao followed, and the honor guard of two hundred people suddenly turned into a fierce killer team with black pressure, holding a long sword and short sword in his hand, and after rushing into the Changle Palace, he saw the eunuch and cut it into pulp.
The Ten Servants fled in all directions, and Zu Zhao and Cao Cao chased them with their swords, killing four of them by their swords.
Zu Zhao found the Empress Dowager He who was tied to a stool and had passed out in the dormitory, so he stepped forward to untie the rope on her body. He carried her to the bed and put her down.
At this time, Yuan Shao and Cao Cao were also enjoyable to kill, and they also entered the palace, and when they saw Zu Zhao coming out of the queen mother's bedroom, they were shocked.
Zu Zhao knew that they had misunderstood, so he hurriedly explained: "The Queen Mother was trapped in the dormitory and is now in a coma. β
"What?" Yuan Shao was a little surprised, "That's okay now?!" β
"I don't know what to do," Zu Zhao said, "I was alone just now, and it was inconvenient for me to save people, so I only untied her rope and came out." β
"Liechen, in extraordinary times, don't stick to such subsections, if you can save the Queen Mother, you should give priority." Cao Cao said, "That's it, now that I'm here, it's better to go in and have a look together." β
Yuan Shao and Zu Zhao both nodded and headed towards the Empress Dowager's dormitory, which was once a forbidden place for men......
