Yuan Shao returned home with a heavy heart, but saw that the housekeeper of the Yuan Mansion was already waiting at the door, and couldn't help but arch his hand and said: "Uncle Zhong, you are here ......" Although he is only a subordinate of the Yuan Mansion, Yuan Zhong is the old man next to Yuan Kui, almost watching Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu, the two brothers grow up, and he is the most trusted person by Yuan Kui around Yuan Kui.

"Young Master." Yuan Zhong bowed slightly, and said respectfully: "The master has been waiting for you in the study for a long time. ”

Yuan Shao didn't dare to slack off when he heard this, and he didn't care about changing his clothes, so he followed Yuan Zhong to the study, where Yuan Kui was sitting behind the desk, holding an ancient book and reading it carefully.

"How's it going?" Seeing Yuan Shao come in, Yuan Kui put down the book in his hand and asked.

"His Majesty has died, Jian Shuo has also been killed, Luoyang military power, all in the hands of the general, just ......" Yuan Shao hesitated, looked at Yuan Kui's encouraging eyes, and said in a deep voice: "The general doesn't seem to trust me as much as before." ”

After saying in detail about the suggestion to completely eradicate the eunuch party but was rejected, Yuan Shao looked at Yuan Kui worriedly and said: "It seems that the general has become wary of us!" ”

"Beware?" Yuan Kui smiled coldly: "That butcher from the beginning, and we are by no means all the way, if you have to use its power to fight against the eunuchs, just one butcher, what qualifications do you have to sit and discuss with us and other scholars?" It seems that the butcher has sensed the importance of the eunuchs to him! ”

"It's just that in this way, the plan we waited for ......" Yuan Shao said with a wry smile, he thought that the death of the emperor would be the time for the rise of scholars, but now it seems that although Liu Hong is gone, there is another He Jin. Not surprisingly, He Jin will definitely send Liu Wei to the supreme treasure seat, and at that time, He Jin's power will probably be above Liang Ji and Dou Wu in the past, which is definitely not good news for the scholar class!

"Rest assured. Although He Butcher is now in power, I expect him to last long, I have secretly ordered Ding Jianyang to lead the army south, according to the time, within ten days, he will be able to reach Luoyang! Yuan Kui sneered: "As for He Butcher's side, let him be arrogant for a few days, and the old man has his own trick to clean him up!" ”

"There's one more thing besides." Yuan Shao walked outside the door. He looked around carefully, came back in Yuan Kui's puzzled gaze, took out the emperor's edict from his arms, handed it to Yuan Kui and said, "My nephew found this thing by His Majesty's bed!" ”

"This ......" Looking at Liu Hong's edict, Rao couldn't help but show a touch of ecstasy on his face at this moment with Yuan Kui's calmness: "With this edict, the day of prosperity of our scholars is not far away!" ”

"Uncle, do you want to take advantage of He Jin's support for Liu Wei to announce His Majesty's edict to the world. Before him, support the prince of Lixie to ascend the throne? Yuan Shao was also impatient and excited. looked at Yuan Kuidao.

"No!" After the initial excitement, Yuan Kui immediately shook his head and said in a deep voice: "Then He Butcher now has the military power of Luoyang, if he is forced to jump off the wall in a hurry, it is not what I want!" ”

"Then we ......" Yuan Shao looked at Yuan Kui puzzled, like this. Even if you have this edict in your hand, it is like waste paper, so what is the use?

"No hurry!" Yuan Kui smiled and shook his head, "What if Liu Wei ascends the throne?" As long as the time is ripe and there is an edict of the former emperor in hand, it can naturally be abolished. It's just that the military power in Luoyang is falling right now, so we can just endure it for the time being. ”

"However, I heard that He Butcher has summoned Dong Zhuo's Xiliang army into Beijing, and Ding Jianyang's Bingzhou army may not be his opponent." Yuan Shao frowned.

"Where did you get the news in the first place?" Yuan Kui frowned and looked at Yuan Shao: "Have you ever been sure?" ”

"It has been determined that Dong Zhuo's army has passed the Hangu Pass now, and I am afraid that it will arrive in Luoyang one step earlier than Ding Jianyang." Yuan Shao said affirmatively.

"He Jin already occupies eighty percent of Luoyang's soldiers and horses, and his power is incomparable, if we add Dong Zhuo's troops, even if we can win over that Li Ziyang, I'm afraid it won't help!" Yuan Kui stood up, paced back and forth, and suddenly, a cold glint flashed in his eyes, handed over the edict to Yuan Shao, and said in a deep voice: "Originally, you immediately sent this edict to Dong Zhuo, remember, you must not let Dong Zhuo know that we sent it." ”

"Ah~" Yuan Shao's eyes widened in disbelief, looked at Yuan Kui, and said puzzledly: "Uncle, in this way, wouldn't we throw away the last hole card in our hand that can hinder He Jin?" ”

"Huh." Yuan Kui smiled and shook his head and said: "If He Jin and Dong Zhuo join forces, it will be difficult for us to bring down He Jin, even if there is an edict, but if it is handed over to Dong Zhuo, it is different, I think that Dong Zhongying is definitely not a person who is willing to live under the people for a long time, otherwise he will not secretly collude with the eunuchs, and will secretly plot to support the prince of the association to ascend the throne, if so, it will inevitably have a conflict with He Jin, and then ......"

"The two tigers compete for food, we just wait and see what happens, and profit from it!" Yuan Shao's eyes lit up, and he couldn't help but say excitedly: "Uncle's trick to drive away the wolf is really clever!" ”

"There are two more things to do." Yuan Kui sneered.

"Uncle, please." Yuan Shao hurriedly bowed his hand.

"First, to provoke the relationship between the two palaces, then the Empress Dowager Dong heard that she has some relationship with Dong Zhuo, so she must let the Empress Dowager Dong lose power before Dong Zhuo enters Beijing, and it is best to expel her from Luoyang; Second, try to provoke the relationship between He Jin and Zhang Rang and others, after this incident, even if He Jin has the intention to repair the relationship between the two families, Zhang Rang may not be willing to lose power, and will definitely rise up to resist, then we will secretly push again, do not worry about getting rid of He Jin, and inform Ding Jianyang to speed up the march and rush to Luoyang as much as possible, if He Jin is really killed by the eunuchs, Dong Zhuo will enter Beijing, with Luoyang's soldiers and horses, he may not be able to balance him! ”

"It's still my uncle who can see far, I'll do it!" Originally, he was a little hesitant, but after Yuan Kui dialed it like this, he suddenly relaxed a lot, bowed in response, and turned to leave.

In the palace, a group of eunuchs gathered.

Zhang Rang sat at the top with a gloomy face, although because of all kinds of constraints, let He Jin let them go temporarily, but undoubtedly released a dangerous signal, with the death of the Han Emperor Liu Hong, the glory of the former ten permanent servants will be gone with the fall of Liu Hong, lost the backer, want to survive in this deep palace, it is not an easy thing, at this moment, including Zhang Rang, are panicked.

"Rang Gong, what should we do now?" A group of people finally looked at Zhang Rang, and at this moment, Zhang Rang had obviously become the last backbone of this group of people.

Zhang Rangtie blushed, looked at the panicked eunuch, and said in a deep voice: "What's the panic, the sky hasn't fallen yet!" After thinking about it, he said: "Now that He butcher holds the power of the entire Luoyang soldiers and horses, and the momentum is flourishing, we should not compete with it, and forbear it for the time being, Duan Jue, you and the butcher have some old feelings, this matter is up to you, secretly send a batch of jewels, and at the same time show that we are willing to support the prince as the emperor, and come forward to prove that the emperor intends to let the prince inherit the unification!" ”

"However, the edict of the first emperor ......" Zhao Zhong looked at Zhang Rang with some puzzlement.

"I can't manage that much anymore!" Zhang Rang shook his head and said in a deep voice: "If it goes against his will, I'm afraid that our people will immediately fall to the ground, first stabilize He Jin, as for who is the emperor, it is all royal blood, and there is no difference between us, if the emperor knows and knows the situation we are facing now, he will not blame us!" ”

"In addition, the dead soldiers we trained before were secretly summoned into the palace, and the day of He Jin's paralysis was the time when his head was in a different place, and then we were only allowed to hold the Queen Mother and His Majesty hostage, and only allowed an edict, this Luoyang soldiers and horses, will all belong to us, and then move out the edict of the first emperor and set things right!"

"Let the public be smart!" Several eunuchs couldn't help but be overjoyed when they heard this, and praised again and again.

"Hmph, as for the butcher, let him be proud for a while!" Zhang Rang sneered.

North Palace, barracks.

Li Xuan knocked on the table, listening to the news that Zhao Min brought back from the palace, his rich sword eyebrows raised slightly: "In this way, now the entire palace, except for Zhang Rang's group of eunuchs, has been replaced by He Jin's people?" ”

"Not bad." Zhao Min nodded and said: "The Imperial City Guards have all been killed, and the new army that Liu Hong painstakingly made out has also surrendered to He Jin because Jian Shuo died in battle, and now in Luoyang, except for us, all military power is in the hands of He Jin." ”

"What about Yuan Shao's gang? How did they react? Li Xuan turned his head and looked at Huang Rong and asked.

"Cao Cao went to Cuiying Tower, as for Yuan Shao, after returning to the Yuan Mansion, there was no news, and the people we placed in the Yuan Mansion were not enough to find out Yuan Shao's movements." Huang Rong shook his head and said, "Most of the other people didn't react, but they handed over all the military power." ”

"It seems that this Luoyang has no place for us for the time being." After thinking about it, Li Xuan smiled and said: "According to the original plan, all the troops will go out of the city and go down to the village thirty miles away from Beibi Mountain!" ”

"Just leave?" Zhao Min looked at Li Xuan puzzled.

"Even the family has bowed its head, what else can we do?" Li Xuan said with a smile on his face: "There are only two ways in front of us at present, one is to obediently hand over the military power in our hands like those families, and the other is to leave the place of right and wrong immediately, and temporarily avoid He Jin's edge." ”

"You're saying He Jin will do something to us?" A flash of surprise flashed in Zhao Min's eyes, you know, they just saved Empress He, so it is reasonable, He Jin shouldn't have made a move on them.

"He Jin won't, but those scholars will definitely pry He Jin to attack us, on the side of the couch, how can others be allowed to sleep?" Li Xuan sneered: "I don't want to start a war with He Jin at this time, let's not say whether I can win, even if I win, I will be pushed to the forefront of the storm, to meet the conspiracy from all sides, we have limited troops in our hands, but we can't withstand the toss, it's better to avoid it for the time being!"
