"I always felt something was wrong." Liu Xuan stood on the palace wall with his hands behind his back, looked at the private houses in the distance, and muttered to himself.

It's wrong, but it's just a feeling. Sometimes some feelings come so inexplicably that people have no way to verify the authenticity, only a little uneasiness in their hearts.

Beckoning a soldier of the Yulin Army, Liu Xuan opened his mouth and asked, "Who are the people who just left the city?" ”

"Report to the commander, it is the eunuch next to the queen who has just left the palace, and he is out of the palace gate with the will of the queen mother." The soldiers of the Yulin Army respectfully hugged their fists.

"I see." Nodding slightly, Liu Xuan already knew why Empress He sent someone out of the palace, and it was estimated that it was for the matter of poisoning Liu Wei by the Ten Standing Servants.

There is no problem with the incident itself, he is still one of the promoters, and he is completely responsible for this matter. I can't say that anything is wrong, the only thing that worries Liu Xuan is whether there will be ten permanent servants among the eunuchs who go out of the city.

"How many?" He asked again.

"The commander of the report is three eunuchs." Although he didn't know why the commander was asking this question, the Yulin soldier still answered honestly.

"Three eunuchs." Liu Xuan continued to fall into deep thought.

Queen He wouldn't even be able to guarantee the loyalty of her subordinates, right? If that was the case, then it would be impossible for her to kill Wang Meiren in the first place.

Maybe this inexplicable error was just caused by his whim.

Liu Xuan continued to stand on the palace wall, every day was such an ordinary day for him. is so ordinary that there are too many waves, and in front of his eyes, they are no longer waves.

This kind of life, at times, is just too boring.

"General." Yuan Shao stepped into the main hall of the General's Mansion and hugged his fists.

There was some confusion in his eyes, and when he saw He Jin wearing a very formal court dress, he felt a little strange. It's not the day, it's noon, and what occasion does it take to dress so formally?

"Ben Chu, you're here?" He Jin asked, his face not hiding the slight joy.

His heart was a little surging, for the news he had just gotten, and for the next development. Soon, soon the Ten Standing Attendants will be eradicated, and at that time, there will be no one in this court who will be his He Jin's enemy.

It turned out that he still had some scruples, and at first when His Majesty was in good health, he only maintained a state of contending with the Ten Standing Servants and falling into a state of disadvantage. Until now, the Ten Standing Servants have been completely suppressed by him, and there is only one last step left for him to completely eradicate the Ten Standing Attendants.

It's a pity that his sister refuses to do so, and always shirks it for various reasons. Otherwise, the queen will make a name for herself, and it is very simple to solve the ten permanent servants.

It's finally time for this day... He Jin began to sigh that his stubborn sister had finally turned the corner and no longer hindered him from doing it.

"Yes. Where is this going, General? Yuan Shao asked.

He Jin replied with a smile: "Just now, the queen came to summon me to the palace for deliberations. ”

"I see." Yuan Shao nodded, and immediately reacted, saying, "General, is this going to the palace alone?" ”

"Or else?" He Jin felt surprised, and didn't know why Yuan Shao suddenly asked.

According to the usual practice, if a relative like him enters the palace, he cannot bring anyone in. All the chariots and horses he rode on, and the guards he carried, all had to wait outside the palace gate. This is the same for everyone.

He Jin is already accustomed to it, and besides, he has entered the palace countless times, and he is also familiar with the palace. There are Feather Forest Soldiers guarding the palace, and there is no need to worry about any security issues, no one can cross those Feather Forest Army to hurt him.

After hesitating for a moment, at this juncture, the slightest problem could not appear, but Yuan Shao still decided to advise. He hugged his fists and said: "Please think twice, the Ten Standing Servants have been operating in the palace for many years, and I don't know what the power is, but we must be careful to prevent the Ten Standing Servants from jumping off the wall in a hurry." ”

"I was too worried about it at the beginning." He Jin replied.

It's not that he hasn't thought about this problem, but after He Jin thought about it, he thought it was impossible. It was his sister who sent someone to summon him to the palace, and the edict was not wrong, and the queen's seal on his head was even more unlikely to be fake.

If it is said that the Ten Standing Servants have an attempt to assassinate him, then it is still possible. But as soon as he was contaminated with his sister, He Jin knew that it was impossible, how could the family be in the same room?

"The queen sent someone to summon me, and I can't help but go. What's more, in the palace, it is not the world of ten permanent servants, so you can rest assured. On the contrary, He Jin, who comforted Yuan Shao, looked extremely relaxed.

He really didn't listen to Yuan Shao's words and put them in his heart. If the Ten Servants were going to kill him while he was in the palace, they should have done it a long time ago, and they wouldn't have waited until now to do so.

"General, please be careful." Yuan Shao clenched his fists and reminded again persistently.

Dogs can jump over the wall in a hurry, rabbits can bite people when they are in a hurry, and Shichang is in despair, what can't be done?

Looking at He Jin, who was so careless and did not have the slightest sense of worry, Yuan Shao felt a big head for a while.

If he is alone and steps into the net of the ten permanent servants, he cannot be sure whether he can come back alive. Not to mention He Jin, this is a general who has been pampered for many years, and he has not experienced many battlefield battles at all.

He is impossible, and He Jin is even more impossible.

In addition, the most important point is that courtiers are not allowed to bring swords when they enter the palace. Without a sword in hand, with bare hands, there is no chance of surviving an ambush.

Such slackness and underestimation of the enemy's He Jin really made Yuan Shao's mouth a little bitter. The big picture has been decided, and it is far from the time when the final outcome appears, everything is possible, and there will be many variables.

Looking at He Jin's expression, he could see that He Jin's face did not have a trace of emotion that listened to his advice.

"Don't worry about it, there won't be any problems." He Jin waved his hand and replied with a smile.

"General, please also..."

"Enough!" He Jin interrupted Yuan Shao, and the smile gradually faded from his face.

The reason why he values Yuan Shao so much is not because of Yuan Shao's ability, but because of the influence of the Yuan family standing behind him in the court. It is precisely for this reason that He Jin has always been very tolerant of Yuan Shao.

Many of the worries expressed by Yuan Shao before, He Jin can be understood as cautious, and he also relieved Yuan Shao. But after again and again, he began to get impatient, which was clearly not to take him seriously!

He is a general, the same as the three dukes, and what he holds in his hands is the power of the world's soldiers and horses. In the past, it was he who kept his word, and others followed his wishes and listened to his orders. What's going on now? How did you get to Yuan Shao and everything was reversed?

"I said there wouldn't be anything, then nothing would happen." said categorically to Yuan Shao, He Jin flicked his sleeves and directly interrupted the continuation of the topic.

He was really angry, and felt that his dignity had been greatly insulted, if someone else was here, he would have let people blow people out, where could he still be allowed to be presumptuous here.

He Jin really felt that when he treated Yuan Shao, he really treated him with the courtesy of a countryman. If Yuan Shao gains another inch, do you really think that he, a general, will be afraid of the Three Princes and the influence of the Yuan family inside and outside the court?

Looking at He Jin's gloomy face, Yuan Shao finally had some understanding of Cao Cao, and Cao Cao's state of mind at that time must be the same as he is now, he was very helpless. No matter what you do or what you say, He Jin can't see or listen to it at all, so what you do and what you say is equivalent to being useless.

But there are some things, some words, that you know you can't do, you can't say. You still have to do it, say it, even if you know the results and the series of impacts.

The key to everything lies in the authority of General He Jin. Once there is any problem with He Jin, the court and the central government will inevitably be leaderless, and no one has the power to order other people, not to mention those who are already on the way to Luoyang City.

These jackals, tigers and leopards, after arriving in Luoyang City, it is estimated that there will be a lot of excitement. When the time comes, if there is no general He Jin, then no one can suppress those people.

He can't, Sangong can't, and there is no one in the court. The only person who can have the power to control the world's soldiers and horses is the general.

After giving a deep salute, Yuan Shao opened his mouth and said, "The general can go here, but he needs to follow my three plans." ”

His eyelids jumped, He Jin was really extremely irritable, but after seeing Yuan Shao's determined eyes, he still temporarily suppressed the anger in his heart. He looked at Yuan Benchu and what three plans he had to do.

Yuan Shao, who was so stubborn at this time, with the same gaze, really reminded He Jin of Cao Mengde's kid. It is also worthy that the two were inseparable in Luoyang City at the beginning, and it turned out that there was such a similar place. But then again, if you don't go all the way, you won't be able to go all the way at all.

"You say, I'll listen first." He Jin said. He just said that he wanted to listen, whether he could listen or not, whether he could do it or not, it was all up to his choice, and he didn't agree to anything anyway.

Yuan Shao heard the meaning of He Jin's words, but since he was going to say it, he would not change because of He Jin's words.

"One. I hope to be able to lead a group of soldiers and escort the general to the palace. ”

"No, no one is allowed to bring troops into the palace, and I am the same." He Jin shook his head decisively, if he led troops into the palace, he would inevitably leave a stain.

Yuan Shao knew that it was impossible for He Jin to agree to this, and the reason for saying this was just because he wanted to draw out the next words, so he retreated and begged for this time.

"Then I will lead a team of soldiers to escort the general to the palace gate, and wait for the general at the palace gate."

He Jin didn't hesitate, and agreed, "Okay." ”

Since Yuan Shao is so idle and has that spare effort to protect him, what is he not happy about?

Yuan Shao breathed a sigh of relief, he had nothing to lose when he reached the set goal. He couldn't accompany He into the palace, and he could wait outside the palace. As long as there is any accident in the palace, he can lead the army into it and go to He Jin's side as quickly as possible.

"II. I hope that the general will be in the palace, once he finds anything abnormal, he will exit the palace first, so as not to be ambushed by the ten permanent servants. Yuan Shao spoke again.

"Okay." He Jin agreed again, if Yuan Shao didn't say it, he would do the same. He wouldn't be stupid, and when the Ten Standing Servants did anything unusual, he would stay in the palace and wait for death.

"Three. When the general enters the palace, it is best to wear another piece of armor under the robe to prevent cold arrows. Yuan Shao said the third point, as long as He Jin agreed, then what he could do and prevent it basically met the requirements.

It turns out that there is no need to be so troublesome, as long as He does not enter the palace, there will be no problems. However, He Jin didn't listen to him at all, and he couldn't persuade He Jin at all, so he made this decision.

Even if it has only a little effect, it must be used.

"This..."He Jin hesitated slightly.

Under the robe, he put on another piece of armor, which he didn't think about.

Seeing this, Yuan Shao added: "Although the palace rules order to bring weapons into the palace, armor is not a weapon, and it is not impossible to wear. ”

He Jin thought about it, too, if he wore a light armor inside, plus the robe covered outside, no one would see anything unusual. It's just a little more troublesome, and he still needs to go back to change his clothes and put on light armor.

Looking at Yuan Shao's expression, a posture that would not work if he didn't agree, He Jin had to nod. Undressing, dressing is a little troublesome, and what makes him feel even more troublesome is actually Yuan Shaocai. He didn't want to be entangled with Yuan Shao anymore, and if he continued like this, he didn't know how much time he wasted, but his sister was still waiting for him in the palace to discuss the matter of cutting off the ten permanent servants.

"Originally, you waited here for a while, and I went back to the back house to change my clothes." He Jin said a word and walked towards the back house, leaving Yuan Shao alone in the hall.

Yuan Shao's brows were furrowed, and he didn't know why, he was still worried.

How could the queen mother suddenly summon General He Jin into the palace? At such a time, it seems a little suspicious in any way.

But he was just suspicious, not to mention whether someone was risking the will of the queen's mother, and the Yulin army guarding the palace was not easy to get along with, how could anyone be allowed to kill the minister in the palace.

So what he's doing now isn't a specific suspicion or anything, it's just a precaution. At this most critical juncture, there can be no accidents at all, especially in the case of the great general He Jin.
