Luoyang. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
Since the collapse of Emperor Ling and the accession of the Young Emperor, Luoyang City has been surging in the dark tide.
In recent months, Luoyang has been unpredictable, and the speed of change is dizzying.
Empress He's son Liu Wei ascended the throne, and the general He Jin took control of the government.
Remembering that when Emperor Ling died, Jian Shuo and others kept it secret, summoned him to the palace and wanted to secretly murder him, He Jin's resentment in his chest was difficult to quell, and now that he was in power, he wanted to settle accounts and kill Jian Shuo after the autumn. At that time, Yuan Shao, the lieutenant of the Chinese Military Academy, persuaded He Jin to wipe out all the eunuchs through He Jin's cronies.
He Jin believed and appointed Yuan Shu because there were people in the Yuan family who were high-ranking officials in the past dynasties, and Yuan Shao and his cousin Huben Zhonglang were supported by the world's heroes. He also extensively recruited 20 wise and resourceful people, including He Hao, Xun You, and Zheng Tai, a native of Henan, and appointed He as the middle marquis of the Northern Army, Xun You as the Huangmen squire, and Zheng Tai as the Shangshu, and regarded them all as his confidants.
Jian Shuo knew that He Jin would not let him go, and he was flustered, so he wrote a letter to Zhao Zhong, Song Dian and others, hoping to conspire to arrest and execute He Jin. However, Guo Sheng and He Jin are from the same county and have a close relationship, and after Guo Sheng discussed with Zhao Zhong and others, he decisively decided to sell Jian Shuo, and showed Jian Shuo's secret letter to He Jin. So, He Jin ordered Huangmen to arrest Jian Shuo and put him to death.
As soon as Jian Shuo died, the forbidden army was all under He Jin's control.
The second unlucky was Empress Dowager Dong's nephew, the hussar general Dong Chong.
In the previous struggle for the right to inherit the throne, the Dong family lost to the He family.
After the young emperor succeeded to the throne, every time the Empress Dowager Dong wanted to interfere in politics, she was stopped by the Empress Dowager He, and scolded in a hurry: "You are arrogant now, relying on your brother He Jin!" If I ordered the hussar general Dong Zhong to cut off He Jin's head, it was just a gesture! Empress Dowager He told He Jin these words as they were.
He Jin and the three dukes played together: accusing the Empress Dowager Dong of sending the middle servants to collude with the state and county, loot property, and store it in the Yongle Palace where she lived. He also said that the Empress Dowager Dong was originally a feudal concubine, and according to the old system, "the queen of the feudal domain was not allowed to stay in Beijing", and asked her to be moved back to Hejian Kingdom. Empress Dowager He approved this recital, and He Jin sent troops to surround the Hussar General's Palace, arresting Dong Chong and removing him from his post, and Dong Chong committed suicide.
In June, Empress Dowager Dong died suddenly in fear and fear.
The people all thought that he was poisoned by the He family, and people sympathized with the Empress Dowager Dong, and since then He Jin's family has lost the hearts of the people.
Immediately after Emperor Ling's burial, He Jin was worried that there would be another conspiracy like Jian Shuo, saying that he would not go to the palace to accompany the funeral, nor would he send Emperor Ling's coffin to the cemetery, and people's dissatisfaction with the He family was even worse.
In July, Liu Xie, the king of Bohai, was renamed Chen Liuwang.
Yuan Shao suggested to He Jin again that the He Jin brothers were in command of the forbidden army at the same time, and their subordinates were all handsome and famous, willing to serve him, and everything was under control. should take this opportunity to kill the eunuchs in one fell swoop and eliminate harm for the world. He Jin made a statement to the Empress Dowager He, but was not answered. Although He Jin has already grasped the power, he has always respected and feared the eunuchs, and he can't make a decision immediately, so the matter dragged on.
Yuan Shao saw that He Jin was undecided, and came up with a bad idea: persuade He Jin to gather the fierce generals of the Quartet and march to Luoyang to threaten the Empress Dowager He.
He Jin agreed.
Chen Lin, the chief bookkeeper, dissuaded: "The general has royal prestige and holds military power, and dealing with eunuchs is like burning hair with a fire." As long as the general gives orders, it will be in accordance with the will of heaven and the will of the people, and it is easy to achieve the goal. Now they give up their authority, ask for foreign help, and wait for the soldiers to gather, and the strong will be the strongest, which is like taking a weapon upside down, and giving it to someone else, it will definitely not succeed, but will bring chaos! ”
He Jin didn't listen to it, and still did what Yuan Shao suggested.
Dong Zhuo, who is entrenched in Hedong, has the opportunity to enter Beijing!
After Dong Zhuo received He Jin's order to summon him to Beijing, he immediately set off.
Zheng Tai, the servant of the imperial history, advised: "Dong Zhuo is a tough person, not benevolent and insatiable, and now he is summoned to Beijing and given military power, and he will do whatever he wants." Shangshu Lu Zhi also thought that Dong Zhuo should not be summoned, and He Jin couldn't listen to him, so Zheng Tai abandoned the official and left.
Dong Zhuo went to Mianchi, He Jin repented, and sent the counselor Chong Shao to take the emperor's edict to stop Dong Zhuo, Dong Zhuo did not accept the edict and marched all the way to Luoyang City. Chong Shao greeted and comforted Dong Zhuo's army and persuaded him to retreat, Dong Zhuo asked his subordinates to threaten Chong Shao with weapons, Chong Shao angrily reprimanded, and the sergeants were afraid to disperse. Chong Shao stepped forward to question Dong Zhuo in person, but Dong Zhuoli was destitute and had to withdraw his troops and return to the Sunset Pavilion twenty miles away.
At this time, there were major changes in Luoyang.
He Jin has been planning for too long, and the matter has already been leaked, and by the time Dong Zhuo garrisons the Sunset Pavilion, every ant in Luoyang City already knows that the general wants to kill all the eunuchs.
The eunuchs were frightened, they knew that He Jin was an unassertive guy, and in order to survive, they pleaded guilty to He Jin one after another, expressing their willingness to let He Jin deal with it. He Jin really relented and persuaded them to return to the feudal country. At this time, Yuan Shao had been appointed as a lieutenant of the school, and he had the power to arrest or execute criminals without asking for instructions, Yuan Shao repeatedly advised He Jin to kill the eunuch quickly, but He Jin did not allow it. Yuan Shao then wrote letters to various states and counties, falsely spreading He Jin's intentions, asking the states and counties to arrest the relatives of the eunuchs, and when the news came, the eunuchs were even more frightened.
In August, He entered the palace to see the Empress Dowager He and asked to kill all the Zhongchang attendants.
He Jin claimed to be ill, did not attend the funeral of the first emperor, and did not send the funeral, but this sudden entry into the palace aroused the suspicion of the Zhongchang attendant. Zhongchang sent someone to eavesdrop on the whole conversation, knowing that He Jin was unwilling to let them go after all, so he led dozens of party members, armed with weapons, quietly went out from the side door and ambushed His Highness. When He came in and out, the Zhongchang attendant pretended to summon the Empress Dowager He's will, He Jinxin thought it was true, sat in confinement, and was killed by Zhang Rang and others!
General He, who held the forbidden army, died at the hands of eunuchs after all.
Zhang Rang, Duan Qi and other edicts, with the late Taiwei Fan Ling as the division of the school attached, Shaofu Xu Xiang as Henan Yin. Shang Shu got the edict, suspected that it was false, and said, "Please ask the general to come out and discuss together." Zhonghuangmen threw He Jin's head to Shang Shu and said, "He Jin rebelled and has been killed." ”
Wu Kuang and Zhang Zhang, the officers of He Jin's subordinates, heard that He Jin had been killed and planned to lead the army into the palace, but the palace gate was closed. Hu Ben Zhonglang attacked the palace with Yuan Shu and Wu Kuang, and slashed the palace gate with a knife, while the Zhonghuang Gate was armed with weapons to defend it. At dusk, Yuan Shu set fire to the Qingzuo Gate of the South Palace, and Zhang Rang and others went to the harem to coerce the Empress Dowager He, the Young Emperor, and Liu Xie, the King of Chen Liu, and abducted other officials in the palace and fled to the North Palace. Lu Zhi stood under the window of the pavilion with Changge in his hand, raised his head and angrily scolded Duan Jue, Duan Jue was frightened, let go of Empress Dowager He, Empress Dowager He jumped from the window and was spared.
Yuan Shao and He Miao (He Jindi) caught Zhao Zhong and others and beheaded them, Wu Kuang and others hated He Miao for defending the eunuchs, and did not work with He Jin to lead his troops to attack and kill He Miao, and the He brothers died. Yuan Shao sent people to arrest the eunuchs, all of them were executed, a total of more than 2,000 people were killed, Yuan Shao took advantage of the situation to lead troops to the palace.
Zhang Rang and others had nothing to do, so they had to take dozens of people such as Shaodi and Chen Liuwang to escape on foot. Arriving at Xiaopingjin at night, the emperor's six imperial seals were not brought, and no ministers followed, only Lu Zhi, Min Gong and others chased them to the bank of the Yellow River. Min Gong hacked several eunuchs to death, and Zhang Rang and others were at the end of their rope and threw themselves into the river to die.
Min Gong helped the young emperor and Chen Liuwang, and walked south on foot by the glimmer of the fire, and later found a board car and arrived at Luoshe to rest. After daybreak, he found two horses and continued to walk south, only then did the minister gradually arrive.
At the same time, there was also Dong Zhuo......
(This chapter is all historical material.)
In order not to affect the reading, the cat did not explain intermittently in the front, and it seemed verbose again...... I am mainly worried that some book friends do not know so much about the history of the Three Kingdoms, and they explain it in more detail, and the cat also thinks that there is a lot of information to check, so pay attention to it in the future. )
