Chapter 16: The Purge
Yuyi followed the black-clothed guard into Luoyang City, crossed Luoshui, and was about to enter the palace, Yuyi stopped.
He thought that the situation in Luoyang City was not yet known, and the black-clothed guards were not credible, so he asked to meet the general He Jin first.
The black-clothed guard immediately drew out his saber and forcibly suppressed it, just at this time, He Jin appeared and said, "Don't retreat yet!" ”
The black-clothed guard was still very respectful to He Jin, and he observed that the other party had brought a lot of soldiers and horses, and he didn't dare to make a mistake, so he retreated first, but he still did not relax his control over Yuyi's whereabouts.
"Good boy, we haven't seen each other for a long time since we said goodbye last time."
He Jin said with a smile.
"Yes, but it doesn't seem to be the time to catch up with the past, is the general preparing to face the saint?"
Yu Yi looked at He Jin's formation and speculated about his intentions.
"Yes, Your Majesty recruited me into the palace, with the intention of entrusting me, you come with me."
He Jin nodded, and hurriedly walked forward with Yuyi.
On the way, He Jin briefly told Yuyi about the situation, and the two chatted while walking, and soon came to the vicinity of the palace gate.
Just as he was about to enter, a person suddenly came out of the narrator, Yu Yi immediately went on guard, He Jin saw the person's face clearly, let Yu Yi retreat, and said: "I don't know what Pan Yin has to do, I want to enter the palace to face the saint, I can't delay!" ”
Sima Panyin suddenly knelt in front of He Jin and said, "The general is not allowed to enter the palace, Jian Shuo has already set up an ambush in the palace, just waiting for you to throw yourself into the net!" ”
He Jin's surprise was not trivial, Yuyi arched his hand to Pan Yin, expressed his gratitude, and then led everyone back to He Jin's mansion.
"The emperor recruited me, and if I don't go to face the saint, it should be a capital crime!"
Although He Jin followed Yuyi and walked back, he was still a little hesitant, afraid that he would be punished by the Holy Lord.
"I heard the man in black who brought me say that Emperor Ling is seriously ill, so the person who is passing the edict now may not be Emperor Ling, but the eunuch beside him, the situation is already very chaotic, you should protect yourself!"
Yuyi explained.
After going back, He Jin immediately recruited some ministers to discuss in the palace, and the topic was how to kill all the eunuchs who were in power.
After this issue was raised, it set off a wave among the ministers, and everyone discussed it a lot, but there was no conclusion.
One of them stepped forward and said: "The scourge of eunuchs began very early, and now it has spread in the imperial court, how can it all be killed in a while, and if someone leaks the secret, then it will definitely be widely implicated, and there is a danger of being wiped out by the nine clans, so you have to plan in detail." ”
He Jin looked at the man, had some impressions, and introduced him to Yuyi beside him, he was Cao Cao, the captain of the military academy.
The last time I met Cao Cao was when I had just broken Zhang Bao's demon law, and when the two armies met, Cao Cao's reputation in history was too loud, and Yu Yi had to pay attention to this competitor for his eldest brother Liu Bei.
I thought that He Jin was going to praise Cao Cao a lot, but he didn't expect him to step forward and scold Cao Cao angrily, saying: "You are just a junior, how can you discuss the affairs of the court and drag it out left and right!" ”
Yuyi stepped forward to stop him and persuaded: "What the lieutenant said is not reasonable, now is the time to employ people, please forgive his sins first." ”
He Jin listened to Yu Yi's suggestion, and when he was hesitating, suddenly Pan Yin came and said: "Emperor Ling has died, now Sai Shuo is discussing with the Ten Standing Attendants, don't mourn Emperor Ling first, fake the holy decree to let Uncle Guo attack, so as to prevent future troubles, and then canonize the prince Liu Xie as the emperor." ”
After Pan Yin finished speaking, another messenger came, passed on the holy decree, and asked He to enter the palace and handle the funeral affairs of Emperor Ling together.
He Jin asked the envoy to go out and wait first, and continued to discuss the solution.
Cao Cao cast a grateful look at Yuyi, and then said: "The current situation, we can only set the new emperor first, and then think about how to kill the eunuchs!" ”
He Jin nodded, pulled out the saber at his waist, and shouted, "Who dares to enter the palace with me to protect the monarch and eliminate the thief!" ”
Another person stepped forward and said, "Give me 5,000 elite soldiers, let me kill and purge, set up a new king, kill all the eunuchs, and stabilize the world!" ”
Yu Yi felt that there was a kingly aura in this person, so he asked He Jin who he was.
He Jin looked at it and replied: "This is the son of Situ Yuan Feng, surnamed Yuan Mingshao, the original character, and now he is the captain of Si Li." ”
He Jin was very happy and said: "Then let you be the main general, Cao Cao as the deputy general, lead the Royal Forest Army of 5,000, and enter the palace first to kill the thief." ”
Then he took Yuyi and more than 30 ministers such as He Yi, Xun You, and Zheng Tai into the palace one after another, and in front of the coffin of Emperor Ling, he helped the crown prince Liu Wei to be the new emperor.
Hundred officials worshipped, Yuan Shao took the Imperial Forest Army to search for Jian Shuo in the palace, he fled in a hurry after hearing the news, walked into the imperial garden, and when he hid in a flower, he was killed by Guo Sheng, the forbidden army under his command learned that he was dead, and surrendered to Shun.
Yuan Shao spoke to He Jin and said, "In addition to Jian Shuo, the officials in the imperial court have formed a group of friends, and now they can take advantage of the situation to annihilate them in one fell swoop. ”
He Jinranqi said that he would hand over this matter to Yuan Shao to handle.
Zhang Rang and others learned the news, and hurriedly went to see the Empress Dowager He, and said: "Yuan Shao slandered in front of General He, his real intention is to murder the general himself, and the matter of killing the general is all Sai Shuo's business alone, and it has nothing to do with us, please have mercy!" ”
In the early stage, when the Empress Dowager He was still the queen, she let Zhang Rang and others slander more in front of Emperor Ling, and Zhang Rang had been dedicating treasures to her, which made the Empress Dowager He very happy, so the Empress Dowager He was willing to help him.
"I know your benefits to this palace, so don't worry, I will definitely be able to protect you."
Empress Dowager He said with a smile.
Even after announcing He Jin, she still knew this younger brother very well, and said: "Both of us were born in poor families, if it weren't for Zhang Rang's help, how could your sister and I have today's status, how can we enjoy today's wealth?" Now that Jian Shuo is going against the sky, hasn't he been killed, why do you still listen to other rumors and kill them all? ”
He Jin, who was born as a butcher, did not have the ability to think independently, so he expressed his position on the spot, and immediately said to everyone after going out: "Jian Shuo wants to harm me, just destroy his nine clans, forget about the others, don't kill them anymore, they still have merit." ”
Originally, Yuan Shao had already caught Zhang Rang and was about to correct him on the spot, but when he received He Jin's intention, he could only stop the action in his hand.
He found He Jin and said: "If you don't cut the grass and eradicate the roots, sooner or later you will die in their hands." ”
He Jin replied: "You are too worried, they will not sin to death." ”
Yuan Shao was about to say more, but was interrupted by He Jin and said, "I've already decided, I don't need to say anything more." ”
After finishing speaking, he brushed his sleeves away, and the other courtiers also wanted to admonish, so they could only stop there.
