Chapter 245, He Jin's death
In March, it gets dark early and the weather is a little cold, as if to signal the imminent turmoil.
He Jin is not a fool, after nightfall, the Queen Mother summoned him to the palace. Even if he was confident that the eunuchs would no longer be able to do anything to him, he would not relax his defense of his own safety.
"The Queen Mother summoned late at night, the general is the brother of the Queen Mother, and he can enter the palace, and the ministers of Yuan Sili and others are still waiting outside!" In front of the palace, the eunuch who delivered the edict refused to be accompanied by Yuan Shao and others.
"The general's body is the hope of the society, once something happens, can you take it?" Yuan Shao said angrily.
"In the palace, it is a forbidden place for soldiers, who dares to take the risk of using swords and soldiers?" The eunuch was not afraid at all, and said-for-tat.
"It's all dying, what are you afraid of, you can only do what Zhang Chang Shi ordered." The eunuch had no fear on his face, but his heart trembled.
"You ......" Yuan Shao wanted to argue again, but He Jin stopped him.
"Don't worry about it at the beginning," He Jin said, "The Queen Mother is my sister, no matter how much discord there is, it won't harm my mind." ”
"The Queen Mother and Your Majesty will not do anything to the generals, but the eunuchs have to guard against it!" Yuan Shao persuaded.
"It doesn't matter, as long as you lead the army to respond outside, Zhang will not dare to do anything to General Ben." He Jin said confidently.
Yuan Shao couldn't dissuade him, so he could only let He Jin in, but to put it mildly, he only let He Jin bring 1,000 personal guards into the palace. But in the palace, not to mention much, there are always tens of thousands of soldiers.
"Highway, you guard here, I'll go to my uncle to discuss countermeasures." Brother Yuan Shao has not turned his face yet, and he can still speak well.
Yuan Shu nodded, stayed outside the palace gate with Wu Kuang and Zhang Zhang, and watched Yuan Shao leave.
The night is getting deeper.
In the queen mother's bedroom, He Jin once again broke up with his sister. He had already decided to unite with the family to get rid of the eunuchs, but even when it came to assassins, the Queen Mother still did not allow it, and only let him kill some small people.
Empress Dowager He is also helpless, her brother has become more and more powerful in recent years, if he does not rely on eunuchs, how can his son really grasp the power in the future.
"General, Your Majesty is invited." Just when He Jin was about to leave the palace, the eunuch came again just now.
"It's so late, isn't there anything Your Majesty can't wait until tomorrow?" He Jin frowned, he suddenly felt that something was abnormal tonight, and wanted to leave early.
"That's not something that the lower officials can know." The eunuch said.
"Lead the way!" Although he felt that something was wrong, He Jin still decided to take a look.
Liu Wei is not Liu Hong's first son, but he is the first son to grow up. Because many of the previous children died young, Liu Hong fostered him in a Taoist temple outside the palace and raised him under the name of Shi Daoren, so Liu Wei also had the name of "Shi Hou". Because he has been outside the palace, he is relatively lacking in etiquette and manners. In the words of Mencius, it is "not as good as a human king". In He Jin's impression, this nephew of his has no opinions and is extremely weak. Call yourself to meet today, and I don't know what is the matter.
"Could it be that Zhang Rang and others framed me?" After walking for a long time, He Jin finally thought of this, "But Luoyang is already under my control, they are not so bold, right?" He Jin pondered carefully.
"General, it's here." The eunuch's voice sounded at the right time, interrupting He Jin's thoughts.
He looked up and saw that it was the Jiade Hall where Liu Hong had died. Calming down, he said proudly: "Let's go!" ”
Liu Wei is in the Jiade Palace, but at the same time, there are Zhang Rang, Zhao Zhong, Duan Qi and other permanent attendants.
"Meet Your Majesty, I don't know why Your Majesty summoned his ministers here?" He Jin asked.
Without hearing Liu Bian's answer, He Jin looked up, and Liu Bian's face was pale and trembling.
"Zhang Changshi, what are you doing here, did you force Your Majesty to come here? How bold are you? He Jin looked at Zhang Rang and said angrily.
"The general is so majestic," Zhang Rang said in a non-yin and yang manner, "but don't forget where this is, the general, this is not your general's mansion, this is the palace, how can there be a place for you to roar!" At the end of the day, it was already a strong voice.
"Why, do you dare to kill General Ben?" He Jin was fearless, "The entire Luoyang City is already under the control of this general, if you dare to touch me, you will be executed immediately." ”
"You entered the palace to try to rebel, and we killed you on the orders of His Majesty, who dares to say anything? Could it be that they will also rebel? Zhang Rang sneered.
"What nonsense, kill him first and stabilize the situation." Zhao Zhong on the side was impatient.
"How dare you do it?" He Jin finally lost his color, and his confidence was at the top, but he still misjudged the situation. I thought that the eunuch was just meat on the chopping board, but I didn't expect to become a vicious wolf forced into a corner, and he had to bite back when he died.
The old-fashioned cup smashed as a number, and a large number of troops immediately poured out of the Jiade Palace, protecting Liu Wei, Zhang Rang and others behind them, and killing He Jin.
These people were the guards of the palace, responsible for the safety of the emperor, and in the absence of a prestigious chief, they would only follow orders. And Zhang Rang and others, who are in the hands of the emperor, are their commanders.
"Kill!" He Jin roared angrily, not retreating, but advancing. He was armoured, but he had no blade in his hand. But no matter what, he is also a rank 7 general, but unfortunately, he is not a general of the force type.
He Jin understood that his guards should not have a chance to come to help, and they must be in the calculations of the eunuchs. Only by moving forward, fighting his way out of the encirclement, and killing to the emperor's side, can he have a chance of surviving.
But this possibility is extremely small, and the eunuchs will not give him a chance. The people who besieged He Jin were all elites, Tiger Ben, the backbone of the Yulin, plus Zhang Rang and others were making trouble for him on the side, and soon He Jin was physically exhausted, and he was poked to the ground, and countless spears restricted his movements.
"General He, I didn't want to fight you today, did you?" Zhang Rang walked up with a smile.
"Eunuch, you can't die well, kill me, and you won't survive." He Jin said sharply.
"You've put knives around our necks, and you're not allowed to resist." Zhang Rang's face was hideous, "Either you die, or I die, how can there be a third choice." If you want to blame yourself, you are too hesitant, you don't know how to make a decision immediately, and you dare to enter the palace in person. ”
"Bian'er, I'm your uncle, you can say something!" He Jin shouted miserably.
Liu Wei was silent, and the moment the battle began, he left under the escort of Yu Linlang.
"Hmph, now that you know about your relatives, why don't you want to think about this relationship when you are acting recklessly in the court? We have worked so hard to serve Your Majesty and the Queen Mother, why don't we see you have a trace of mercy? Zhang Rang said angrily.
"Kill!" Zhao Zhong has long been unaccustomed to Zhang Rang's grinding and chirping, don't you know that many villains are counterattacked by the protagonist because they talk too much?
A eunuch walked out, it was the eunuch who guided He Jin in, waved the knife in his hand, and slashed it down, He Jin, who was screaming and calling Liu Wei, was immediately silent, glaring angrily, obviously blind.
"Qu Mu, take He Jin's head, and then show it to the people outside and ask them to stop resisting. Outside the palace, it was said that He Jin had rebelled and had been eliminated by His Majesty's order, so that they could go back and wait for tomorrow's court meeting. Zhang Rang arranged it in an orderly manner.
"The decree was issued to remove Yuan Shao and Wang Yun from their official positions, and the late Taiwei Fan Ling was appointed as the lieutenant of the school, so Situ and Shaofu Xu Xiang were Henan Yin, and they urgently entered the palace for deliberations."
……
Zhang Rang arranged one by one, and the eunuchs nodded frequently when they listened.
"Ladies and gentlemen, this is our difficulty, as long as tonight passes safely, tomorrow the court meeting will be able to turn over the clouds and rain and reproduce our glory." Zhang Rang finally concluded.
Zhang Rang's arrangement is not wrong, and it can be said that if his plan is successful, the eunuch group may once again counterattack, regain power, and redeem the decline since Liu Hong's death for several months.
But Zhang Rang also misjudged the situation, he didn't understand how determined the soldiers who had lost countless opportunities were to eradicate them. They are already doing whatever it takes, even if it is to cause chaos.
