Chapter 56: The Death of He Jin
Luoyang, with Li Xuan leading the Fengwei Battalion, the Beigong Janissary and part of the new army under the jurisdiction of the headquarters to withdraw from the capital, it also means that in Luoyang City, the last trace of unrest for He Jin has completely disappeared.
The next day, He Jin reached an agreement with the ten permanent servants headed by Zhang Rang, and Zhang Rang personally came forward to prove that the emperor left a message, set Liu Xie as the heir, and cooperated with a group of civil and military ministers to support the prince Liu Wei to ascend the throne and change the Yuan Chuping.
He Jin also became more and more arrogant, first exiled the Empress Dowager Dong, and the Empress Dowager Dong was strangled on the way to exile, the murderer is unknown, but the spearhead is directed at He Jin.
Although it was a little inexplicable, He Jin didn't bother to pay attention to those accusations, he knew that no matter what he said at this time, no one would listen to his explanation, besides, even if the person really killed himself, what could he do?
Subsequently, He Jin, the funeral of the Empress Dowager Dong, also said that he was sick and did not attend, which seemed to confirm the crime, but now He Jin is so powerful that no one dares to punish him.
In the evening of that day, He Jin had dinner with a group of scholars and was about to go back to the house to rest, when suddenly a small yellow door came to meet him and called the Empress Dowager.
"It's getting late, what does the Queen Mother have to call me?" He Jin looked at Xiao Huangmen suspiciously and asked, the first emperor died, Liu Wei took the throne, the mother was noble by virtue of her son, and the former queen was naturally promoted to the queen mother, enjoying the honor, and became the woman with the highest status in this Luoyang city.
"The queen mother's thoughts, where did the slave guess the way." Xiao Huangmen shook his head, with a flattering smile on his face.
"Let's go." He Jin did not doubt him, the little yellow door in front of him was indeed a cronie of He Hou's side, He Jin had seen him more than once by He Hou's side, and he followed him to the palace without hesitation.
With a few guards, following the little yellow gate all the way to the Jiade Palace, He Jin suddenly felt that something was wrong. Since Liu Wei ascended the throne, although Empress He was promoted to the queen mother, since the establishment of the Han Dynasty, there has been a saying that the harem is not allowed to interfere in politics. I have never walked into the Jiade Palace, even if I want to meet myself, I should be in Yongchang Palace, how can I be in the Jiade Palace.
"Wait!" After a pause, He Jin looked at Xiao Huangmen's gaze with a bit of calmness, and said sharply: "Who sent you?" ”
"In this deep palace, who else is there besides us?" With a strange sound of yin and yang, Zhang Rang and several people appeared at the door of the Jiade Palace. Condescendingly, he looked at He Jin and sneered: "But what I didn't expect is that you are a butcher, and you can even see some clues!" ”
"It's you!?" He Jin realized that something was wrong, looked around, and said coldly while looking for a way out: "You have brought me here. What is the purpose? ”
Duan Jue sneered: "He Suigao, don't look at it. Since we dare to show up, we will naturally not leave you the slightest chance to escape! ”
"You dare to kill me!?" He Jin glared at Duan Qi angrily and said sharply.
"Why not?" Zhang Rang sneered: "He Suigao, you are only a butcher, but now you are ranked as the third duke, and you have probably forgotten who helped your sister win the favor of the emperor in the first place." In order to have your soaring prosperity today, but instead of thinking of our benefits, you are forcing each other step by step, uniting those scholars to embarrass us...... He Suigao, it's not that we want to kill you. But you forced us to kill you, and today, this Garter Hall is where you are buried! ”
As soon as the words fell, the four doors of the Jiade Hall suddenly opened, and countless armor soldiers poured out, quickly surrounding He Jin and several personal guards, and the ten permanent servants have been favored by the Han Emperor Liu Hong for many years, how can there be no cronies, outside the palace, He Jin is in charge of the world's soldiers and horses, but in this palace, the ten permanent servants and cronies account for ninety percent of nine.
He Jin snorted coldly, so far, no matter how many words he has, it is useless, he is a dignified general, naturally he is not comparable to a Confucian who has no power to restrain a chicken, he pulled out the sword on his waist, and said sharply: "Sons, follow me to kill a bloody road!" ”
"Kill!" Zhang Rang snorted coldly, waved his hand and shouted, and countless armor soldiers suddenly roared in unison, rushing towards He Jin and the others.
He Jin didn't say much, with a few guards rushed towards the direction of the palace gate, the sword in his hand slashed left and right, as a dignified general, the sword in his hand is naturally not a mortal thing, but the king of Chu invited the casting master Ou Yezi, the cadre, Mo Ye three people to cast the ancient sword Tai'a, the gold and jade are extremely sharp, the weapons held by the armor are all sophisticated equipment, but far less sharp than Tai'a, as long as you are close, it will be cut off by the extremely sharp Tai'a, plus the personal guards behind He Jin, are carefully selected in the army, Each of them is the elite of the seventh-order special troops, and their combat power is strong, and they are about to rush out of the palace gate under the leadership of He Jin.
"Kids, step down!" Looking at He Jin, who was about to approach the palace gate, Zhang Rang sneered, waved his hand, and the soldiers retreated like a roar, but He Jin did not feel relaxed, but became more and more dignified.
"Whoa~"
In the sound of the collision of soldiers and armor, I saw that outside the palace gate, a large number of armor soldiers suddenly poured in, completely sealing the retreat of He Jin and others.
Finished!
With Duan Jue's fierce arms, countless arrow clusters poured in like flying locusts, although He Jin's own strength is not bad, but after all, there is no such magical method of luck as the Great Shift, in the face of thousands of arrow clusters, he could only close his eyes in despair, and in the blink of an eye, more than 100 arrows pierced his body.
Looking at He Jin's fallen corpse, Zhang Rang took a deep breath and said sharply: "Zhugong, as soon as He Jin dies, the Luoyang army is leaderless, it is a good time for us to grasp the military power, Zhao Zhong and Duan Qi, you two go to Yong'an Palace quickly, and hold the Queen Mother and His Majesty hostage, now is an extraordinary period, if you are a little careless, it is when we wait for the heads to land, you must not hesitate at all!" ”
Zhao Zhong and Duan Jue nodded and said, "Let the public rest assured, I'll wait for this to go!" ”
"The others followed me and threw He Jin's head out of the palace gate, hehe, but I don't know what kind of expressions those scholars will have when they see his corpse!" Zhang Rang said with a sneer.
"Yes!" The others immediately received the order, Zhao Zhong and Duan Qi led a group of men and horses to rush in the direction of Yongchang Palace, and the rest of the men and horses followed Zhang Rang, took He Jin's body, and ran towards the direction of the palace wall.
At this time, outside the palace, Yuan Shao had already gathered a lot of people and was calling for battle outside the palace gate.
"Originally, why not forcibly break through the palace gate? If it drags on any longer, I'm afraid the general will be worried about his life! Cao Cao frowned and glanced at the silent palace gate, if they wanted to attack it, they would have already attacked the imperial city.
"Hehe, Meng De doesn't have to worry, what kind of person is a general, how can a group of eunuchs succeed?" Yuan Shao smiled and shook his head, joking, just attacking like this, if He Jin didn't die, wouldn't his previous plan come to naught?
At this moment, Zhang Rang and several people appeared in the city, looking at the black crowd outside the palace, Xia Yun sneered, threw He Jin's body out, and shouted: "He Jin rebelled, according to the will of His Majesty, he has been ambushed, His Majesty is magnanimous, Nian Er and others do not know the truth, why did they enter the place to bewitch them, all of them are pardoned, and they will not disperse immediately, otherwise Your Majesty will be angry, and you will definitely make your heads fall to the ground!" ”
Although he had been prepared, when he saw He Jin's corpse, Yuan Shao still had the urge to look up to the sky and laugh, in his eyes, there had never been a moment as cute as now.
"The general is really dead, what should I do?" Chen Lin looked at Yuan Shao in a little panic, all along, in the struggle with the eunuchs, He Jin was the vanguard of the scholars, helping them to shelter from the wind and rain, how to look down on He Jin before, but now He Jin has fallen, but many people have lost their direction, and even have an unprecedented fear.
"Without him!" Yuan Shao coldly drew his sword, pointed in the direction of the city, and shouted: "The eunuch killed the minister without permission, and it is the most unforgivable, why don't the armies rise up, punish the evil party, and return my Han world to a bright and prosperous world!?" ”
Behind Yuan Shao, a military general twisted his bow and arrows, and shot Xia Yun who was talking to death with one arrow, and the others immediately reacted.
He Jin's general Wu Kuang had already rushed to the palace gate, rising bravely, frantically raising his knife and slashing, behind him, He Jin's troops also reacted, swarming up, frantically using various weapons to cooperate with Wu Kuang to storm the palace gate, the palace gate that was not solid soon loosened, and it was about to be violently opened by a group of people.
"Rang Gong, what should I do!?" The reaction of these people greatly exceeded the expectations of Zhang Rang and the others, looking at Xia Yun's corpse, several other eunuchs looked at Zhang Rang in fear.
Zhang Rang Senran's eyes stared at Yuan Shao, he was scheming, and it could be seen from Yuan Shao's reaction, this Yuan Shao, I'm afraid he had been planning for a long time, he didn't attack the city before, I'm afraid he wanted to borrow a knife to kill people, and he had become a pawn of this person.
"Immediately joined up with Zhao Zhong and them, kidnapped the Queen Mother and His Majesty, and escaped from the palace!" Stared at Yuan Shao hatefully, these people were obviously determined to kill themselves, although there were still thousands of armor soldiers in their hands, but the other party was now taking the opportunity to seize He Jin's original subordinates, where was his opponent?
At that moment, without hesitation, he took the remaining armor soldiers and rushed towards the Beigong side, and on the way, he met Zhao Zhong and Duan Jue, who had kidnapped He Hou and the two princes, and the two groups of people and horses merged into one and fled towards the north gate.
On the other side, the palace gate was quickly broken with the departure of Zhang Rang and others, Yuan Shao commanded the new army to enter the palace, the palace eunuchs and palace maids were so frightened that they scattered and fled, a cadre of people with soldiers and horses, as long as it was a eunuch, they didn't ask the reason, they slashed and killed on the spot, and the new army that killed the red eyes came to the end, where to distinguish what good and evil, almost killed when they saw people, and when they saw gold, silver and jewelry, they rushed up, if the big palace, in an instant, it became a purgatory on earth.
