Chapter 286: The Smoke Rises

The news of Emperor Ling's critical illness soon spread completely, although Guo Jia and Tian Feng had heard Wang Xu infer as a doctor early on, but after all, it was an inference, and they were not sure, so they had always been skeptical. When they got the news, the two were stunned for a long time before coming back to their senses.

With the resourcefulness of the two of them, of course, they understood what Emperor Ling's critical illness meant to today, so they didn't say a word, and immediately returned to the general's mansion. Although the other officials did not see as far as them, they also knew that if something happened to the emperor, there would inevitably be great changes, and they did not dare to complain.

As for the generals, Wang Xu didn't explain much, just asked them to hurry up and train the soldiers and be ready to deal with Yiqiē at any time.

And he himself was not idle, making a preliminary plan for the new year, after adjusting the policy on a small scale. Together with Xu Shu, he took Dian Wei and dozens of followers to Guiyang and Wuling counties. The purpose was to conduct surprise inspections and get a detailed grasp of all the conditions in the two counties. Seeing that the chaos is coming, if you can't eliminate the hidden dangers under your rule and completely settle down, then how can you rest assured that you can conquer.

It's just that the time of the chaos in the world came too quickly after all, and the result was not very good. There is nothing on Guiyang's side, although Liu Du is not a great talent, but it is more than enough to govern a county, and the general situation is no different from that reported to the General's Mansion, and the details are also handled relatively well. It is very effective in the implementation and enforcement of the policies set by the General's Office.

But Wuling's side is very bad, although the power has been completely seized, the governance situation is not optimistic. Many of the policies formulated by the General's Office have only just been implemented. The integration of the barbarians has just begun, and because there are many barbarians in Wuling and they are relatively strong, the results are not significant, and even the vacant officials have not been able to fill them.

It's just that it's really no wonder that Lai Gong is here, the time is too short, and he has done his best to do it now, and no one is much better.

At the same time, during Wang Xu's inspection of the two counties. Sun Jian, who was protected by everyone. also easily got his wish, with his henchmen and more than 10,000 elite soldiers belonging to him, he left Changsha and went to Wujun in Yangzhou to be the Taishou. Before leaving, he deliberately went to the county government to say goodbye, but unfortunately he couldn't see Wang Xu, left a letter, and left regretfully.

Wait for Wang Xu to receive the news in Wuling. When the horse hurried back to Quanling, it was already mid-February. Fortunately, the court and China are now in a mess, and He Jin has fought with Jian Shuo at a critical time, and he is not in the mood to intervene in Jingnan again. Besides, Jin Xuan was brought to Jingnan by him, but it didn't work for anything. Naturally, there will be no more painstaking efforts to do useless work. In his mind, as soon as Emperor Ling died, he supported the new little emperor, and Wang Xu would no longer be a threat to him, so he didn't want to deal with it at all.

However, for Wang Xu, this is a little less complicated, and there is no order from the imperial court. He served as the governor of Jingnan. Immediately send someone to act as a temporary agent. It's just that the candidate is a bit of a headache, because he intends to do it when the time is right. The general's palace was moved to Changsha, so the appointment of the former Taishou now must lay a good foundation for this qiē.

In the end, I picked and chosen, and I chose the Huan step. Huanjie was originally from Changsha, familiar with Changsha, and had a calm personality, and knew all military and political affairs, so it was most suitable for him to go. As for Guo Jia and Tian Feng, they must not be moved, without them presiding over the overall situation, Wang Xu can't put his mind at ease.

And just when Wang Xu was secretly making various arrangements and preparations in Jingnan in order to meet the upcoming troubled times, the capital Luoyang was even more turbulent, opening the first chapter of chaos.

Dong Zhuo, a clever speculator, really worked hard to control the military power, as in history. The imperial court recruited him as a young minister, so they found an excuse to shirk it, and then expressed their loyalty and support to He Jin and others to avoid transfer. Even Emperor Ling, who was seriously ill, wanted him to hand over the soldiers and horses to Huangfu Song, and then retain the position of the former general and concurrently serve as the governor of the state, but he was unwilling. or bribed the regular waiter, or showed his loyalty to He Jin, and tried his best. In short, it is necessary to stay in Hedong County, and the descendants in his hands will never be handed over to Huangfu Song.

He Jin's butcher's brain was not very good, so he actually believed Dong Zhuo and tried his best to excuse him. In his mind, Hedong is north of Luoyang and Chang'an, across the Yellow River, and it is very beneficial for him to have such a "loyal" general in charge. At the same time, Huangfu Song is now sitting in Liangzhou, which has made him very dissatisfied, how can he let him control more soldiers and horses?

Therefore, Dong Zhuo, a real beast, became bigger in Hedong as he wished. The group of soldiers under his command, who mixed the people of Liangzhou, Hu and Bingzhou, followed him to fight in the east and west, and they were elite divisions and became his most loyal minions. In addition, with the support of those in power in the DPRK and China, they are arrogant and abnormal, controlling the surrounding counties and counties, asking for money and food, and no one dares to say a word......

On the seventh day of the third month of 189 AD, Emperor Ling's illness worsened, and Cheng Dù, who was unable to govern, knew that his life was short, so he wanted to summon his cronies and ministers to entrust him with the future. And Jian Shuo planned to take advantage of this opportunity to plot to kill He Jin, but he thought that his subordinate Sima Pan Yin was He Jin's person, so he informed him in advance.

He Jin heard the change, but he planned and quickly found his fellow countryman, Guo Sheng, who was often servant.

He Jin's sister Queen He, and their He family can have today, this Guo Sheng has helped a lot. Therefore, after getting some promises from He Jin, Guo Sheng immediately helped persuade the rest of the permanent attendants. This group of eunuchs are all selfish and selfish. And thinking that after the death of Emperor Ling, if Empress He's son Liu Wei ascended the throne, then He Jin would be the uncle of the country, and his power would be even stronger. So in the end, he abandoned Jian Shuo, falsely passed on the holy decree, and let He Jinneng lead the troops into the inner city, killing Jian Shuo in one fell swoop.

On March 11, Emperor Ling, a short-lived emperor who was only in his thirties, unfortunately passed away. originally thought that Liu Wei had no prestige, and when he was dying, he wanted to make his youngest son Liu Xie the emperor. It's a pity that the will was tampered with by He Jin and Zhong Chang and others, and the eldest son Liu Wei, that is, He Jin's nephew, was appointed as the emperor.

On the 13th, the fourteen-year-old prince Liu Wei ascended the throne and honored his mother, Empress He, as the empress dowager. Empress Dowager He presided over the government in the court, granted amnesty to the world, and changed the name of the year to Guangxi. The nine-year-old imperial brother Liu Xie was named the king of Bohai. Yuan Kui, who was the general at the time, was appointed as the Taifu, and he and the general He Jin jointly presided over the affairs of Shangshu. At the same time, after He Jin took power, he immediately used celebrities and celebrities, and even Wang Yun, who rushed back to Luoyang after hearing the wind, was reactivated.

It's a pity that a few days later, the Empress Dowager Dong, that is, the mother of Emperor Ling, had a fierce conflict with the Empress Dowager He because she wanted to interfere in politics. At this time, the hussar general Dong Chong, that is, the nephew of the Empress Dowager Dong. I want to fight for power with He Jin. The two families were suddenly on the same page.

But Emperor Ling is dead, as the empress dowager, how can the Dong family compete for a powerful daughter-in-law? Within two days, He Jin and the then Sangong played a crime, and then sent her back to her hometown Hejian. Subsequently, Dong Zhong was dismissed. Suicide! And changed the title of Bohai King Liu Xie to Chen Liuwang.

And Dong also died for no reason after returning to Hejian, and the cause of his death was not known even to Wang Xu's spy shadow. Of course, Wang Xu has a spectrum in his heart, and he was obviously killed by He Jin and Empress Dowager He. Otherwise, there will be no disease, and no disaster. When you wake up, you die? That's hell to go!

But that's just the beginning. He Jin has received the full support of so many scholars and wealthy families, and he has come to this point. How could it end like this?

On the seventh day of the fourth month, led by the Yuan family, the world's corporal and wealthy families spoke one after another, forcing He Jin to kill the eunuchs. Because the emperor was young, he did not hold power at all. He Jin was helpless. can only quietly find his sister Empress Dowager He, and decide to turn against the eunuchs who are kind to their He family.

But the Empress Dowager He is a mediocre woman. The He family was originally an illiterate ordinary person, except for He Jin, who was a little more motivated, where else could he understand military affairs? has long been favored by the group of eunuchs who see the wind and rudder, plus these eunuchs have curry favor with He Jin's younger brother, He Miao, the general of the chariot cavalry, and his mother Wuyangjun. Therefore, not only did it not succeed, but the He family did not say anything about it, but also frightened the snakes, which made the eunuchs jealous of them to the extreme.

At this time, the officers and soldiers of the Fifth School of the Northern Army, as well as half of the people of the Eighth School of the West Garden, as well as the forbidden army, were all under the orders of the Empress Dowager of the Middle Palace. In addition, his younger brother He Miao, who also controlled heavy soldiers, also objected, and He Jin did not dare to act rashly. As a result, this unjust boss listened to the words of Yuan Shao, who had been reappointed as the lieutenant of the school, and summoned fierce generals and heroes from all over the country to Beijing, intending to force Empress Dowager He and He Miao to agree with a strong force.

This is really a stone that stirred up a thousand waves, making the whole Luoyang explode. The famous ministers and good generals who united around He Jin, with a slightly far-sighted vision, all dispersed. But the generals who depended on him everywhere made a lot of trouble.

For example, after Dong Zhuo refused to merge with the governor, Ding Yuan, the commander of Wumeng, who had just been promoted to the state assassin history, quickly stationed troops in Hanoi, burned Mengjindu, and coerced the center of Luoyang. Dongjun Taishou Bridge Mao also sent troops to Chenggao. He Jin's generals Wang Kuang, Bao Xin and others returned to their hometowns to gather soldiers and horses to assist He Jin. Of course, what satisfied He Jin the most was Dong Zhuo, almost as soon as the order arrived, Dong Zhuo shouted in response, and said that he would gather troops and horses, move to Luoyang, and go to Luoyang to "help".

It's a pity, as Cao Cao scolded, is it necessary for this kind of thing to be so fanfare? Can you still kill people by spinning around like this?

Before these helpers arrived, the eunuchs were afraid, even if they begged the Empress Dowager He, He Miao, Wuyangjun and others, saying that they had no merit and hard work, they helped the He family develop back then, and now they serve sincerely, begging not to kill them. At the same time, he also took out all the money and jewelry collected over the years and dedicated them to He Miao and Wuyangjun.

As a result, not only did they all scold He Jin. At the same time, he also induced the Empress Dowager He to summon He into the palace overnight. And when He Jin came out of the queen mother's bedroom, the ambush knife and axe hand was behind the palace gate that he had to pass through, and as soon as He Jin appeared, he immediately bitterly confessed that he was ungrateful, regardless of the help of the year. Then the group attacked it, and it only took a moment for He Jin to be in a different place. Subsequently, in the name of He Jin, a new edict was written, saying that He Jin and Empress Dowager He had discussed and made a new appointment, so that the person who gave the appointment would take office immediately.

But they were really dizzy, and the names written on the order were all the people of their eunuchs, and the positions they were reappointed were all positions of power. So it immediately aroused suspicion, the officials refused to carry it out, and He Jin's subordinates insisted on seeing He Jin.

The eunuchs were forced to be helpless, so they thought that as long as they told He Jin to die, these people would not dare to act rashly. So they cut off his head and threw him outside the palace gate.

But this idea is too naïve, the moment He Jin's head rolled to the ground, the whole of Luoyang turned upside down......

Two hours later, He Jin's generals Wu Kuang, Zhang Zhang and others took their cronies and killed them outside the palace gate with great momentum. Soon after the confrontation, Hu Ben Zhonglang heard the letter from Yuan Shu, and also took Hu Ben Lang to kill, and he was even more courageous, directly cut down the palace gate, and also set fire to the Qingzuo Gate.

The eunuchs were finally scared and didn't want to sit still, so they kidnapped Empress Dowager He, Emperor Liu Wei, and Liu Xie, the king of Chenliu, and fled. But on the passage overpass between the north and south palaces, he was intercepted by Lu Zhi and saved the Empress Dowager He.

Subsequently, the Yuan family quickly took action and wantonly killed the officials who were attached to the eunuchs. And Yuan Shao and He Jin's younger brother He Miao led troops to block the palace gate and robbed and killed Zhao Zhong and several other permanent attendants. Soon, the palace gates were breached, and all the eunuchs in the palace, good or bad, were killed. Dong Zhuo's younger brother Dong Min also happened to be in Luoyang as a lieutenant at the moment, so he also became one of the main perpetrators of this killing.

It's a pity that because it was night and the situation was too chaotic, Zhang Rang and others hijacked Liu Wei and Liu Xie and fled north, and they all left Pingjin Gate, and the civil and military officials failed to intercept them.

At this time, the generals were also red-eyed, and the situation began to get out of control, and He Jin's troops failed to find Zhang Rang and others and ran into He Miao. Immediately resented He Miao as a younger brother but did not support He Jin, and also made a stumbling block from it, leading He Jin's head to the ground, so he immediately attacked He Miao and slaughtered him.

Poor He Miao heard about He Jin's death, and immediately brought troops to come, after all, they are brothers, how can they have no feelings! Helping the eunuchs is just because they don't want to kill them, where is the meaning of harming death. But where do the soldiers in the grief and indignation think about this, they become unjustly killed.

However, Shangshu Lu Zhi and Min Gong chased the trace of the eunuch and followed them all the way to the bank of the Yellow River. After Lu Zhi personally killed several people, the eunuchs were afraid and were forced to commit suicide by throwing themselves into the river. Therefore, Liu Wei and Liu Xie were tired, so they rested for one night in the house.

In the early morning of the second day, the civil and military officials finally came over. Of course, arriving at the same time, there was also Dong Zhuo, who had just crossed the Yellow River and was about to go to Luoyang, as well as the mighty army of his subordinates......
