When Empress Dowager He heard it, she told He Jin through the eunuch. When the general He Jin heard this, he naturally would not be restrained.

In May of the sixth year of Zhongping, He Jin and the third duke and his younger brother He Miao, the general of the chariot cavalry, and others played and said: "The Empress Dowager Dong instructed Xia Yun, the former middle servant, and the Yongle servant Feng Yu to collude with the state and county governments to monopolize the treasures and goods in various places, and all of them were sent to Yongle Palace. According to the old practice, the queen of the feudal kingdom cannot stay in the capital, please move her back to the river country! ”

Empress Dowager He then approved this recital, and on the sixth day of the fifth month, He Jin sent troops to surround Dong Chong's mansion and arrest Dong Chong. He was relieved of his position, and Dong Zhong knew that he would die, so in order to avoid suffering, he committed suicide.

On the seventh day of the sixth month of the sixth year of Zhongping, the Empress Dowager Dong suddenly fell ill in the palace and died of anxiety and fear. That Liu Xie, the king of Chen Liu, was still by the side of the Empress Dowager Dong, looking at the only grandmother who loved him, dying in front of him, his mood can be imagined. When the eunuchs and maids in the palace informed the Empress Dowager He, she ordered someone to put the body of the Empress Dowager Dong into the coffin, and after seven days of cessation, she ordered someone to send the coffin back to the river and bury it with Liu Chang in the Shen Mausoleum.

Empress Dowager He thinks that she has peace of mind, and since her child Liu Wei has become the emperor, she will no longer be jealous of her prince Liu Xie, the prince who bows in front of her. She still put Chen Liuwang Liu Xie in the palace, so that there are eunuchs to take care of it, so what is there to worry about?

But Empress Dowager He didn't expect that her elder brother, the general He Jin, was bent on eliminating the ten permanent servants in the palace. Empress Dowager He was worried that if there was no Zhang Rang, Duan Qi and others to assist her in the palace, wouldn't the world have nothing to do with her? His son Liu Wei is old, how can he ensure the succession to the throne?

So the Empress Dowager He did not have one heart with the general He Jin, but with the general He Miao, who believed that this kind of situation was the best result for the He family. But how could He Jin, the general who was picked up by Yuan Shao, be able to let the eunuchs in the palace take power? He had already conspired to summon Dong Zhuo, the pastor of Bingzhou, and Ding Yuan, and assassinated Shi Dingyuan, wanting them to get rid of the trouble of his henchmen!

Due to being sent to Luoyang by foreign ministers, Empress Dowager He was uneasy. The ten permanent servants even heard many rumors, that is, the general He Jin, who was bent on getting rid of his own ministers, he would be at ease! Dong Zhuo, the summoned pastor of Bingzhou, even wrote a letter to impeach Zhang Rang and others. In great fear, the ten permanent servants made a wrong decision together.

Zhang Rang, Duan Qi and others knelt down in front of the Empress Dowager He, sincerely frightened, and asked the Empress Dowager He to summon the general He Jin, and they were willing to agree to any request of the general, as long as they could ensure the personal safety of their own people. Then Empress Dowager He sent a decree to summon the general He Jin into the palace, Yuan Shao, Cao Cao and others did not agree with He Jin to enter the palace now, thinking that it was not safe to enter the palace at this time.

Then He Jin couldn't do it, and his sister Empress Dowager He would be harmful to herself, but she still wore armor and came to the palace with the captain. But whether it was Yuan Shao or Cao Cao, as captains, they did not have the right to enter the palace, so they watched the general He Jin enter the palace.

He entered the confinement, Zhang Rang and others scolded He Jindao: "The chaos in the world is not only the sin of my generation. The first emperor once had a discord with the queen mother, and almost abolished the queen mother, we cried to rescue, and each took out tens of millions of family wealth as gifts, and the meaning of the first emperor of Yue, just want to rely on your He family's portal. Isn't it too much to want to kill our race now? You said that the palace is filthy and dirty, below the minister, who is really loyal and honest? ”

He Jin was not surprised, but insisted on taking down the ten permanent servants headed by him, so he was willing to give up! This annoyed Zhang Rang and others, so Shang Fang supervised Qu Mu, drew his sword and beheaded He Jin in front of the Jiade Palace. Zhang Rang, Duan Qi and other edicts, with the late Taiwei Fan Ling as the division of the school attached, Shaofu Xu Xiang as Henan Yin.

Shangshu Lu Zhi got the edict and suspected that it was false, so he asked: "Please ask the general to come out and discuss this matter together." ”

The eunuch of Zhonghuangmen threw the head of the general He Jin to Lu Zhishangshu and said: "He Jin rebelled and has been killed by us." ”

So Yuan Shao, Cao Cao and others took this opportunity to lead troops into the palace and kill all the eunuchs. The angry soldiers not only killed all the eunuchs, but also Wu Kuang and others in the He Jin Department united with Dong Min, the commander of Fengche, and killed He Miao, the general of the Che Cavalry, so that the relatives of the Empress Dowager He who were in charge of the military were all killed on the same day.

The ten permanent servants Zhang Rang, Duan Qi and others kidnapped Emperor Liu Bian, Chen Liuwang Liu Xie, and Empress Dowager He to flee to the north gate together. Lu Zhi, who was staying there, shouted loudly: "Zhang Rang, Duan Qi rebels, you killed the general, do you dare to kidnap the Queen Mother!"

When Empress Dowager He heard this, she desperately jumped out of the window and was rescued by Lu Zhi, so that she could escape the fate of being taken hostage by this group of great eunuchs.

Zhang Rang, Duan Qi and others kidnapped the young emperor and Chen Liuwang, smoked and burst into flames, and ran to Beibi Mountain overnight. At about two o'clock, there was a loud shout from behind, and people and horses arrived. At present, Min Gong, a magistrate in central Henan, shouted: "The traitor is leaving!" Take your life! ”

Seeing that things were urgent, he knew that he would die, so he committed suicide by throwing himself into the river. The young emperor Liu Wei and Chen Liuwang Liu Xie did not know the truth and did not dare to raise their voices, so they crouched in the grass by the river and broke away from the eunuchs' ranks. The military horses behind scattered to chase Duan Qi and the others, and after a while, they grabbed them.

Min Gong asked, "Where is the Son of Heaven?" ”

Duan Jue replied: "I have been lost halfway through, and I don't know where I am." It was because of the suddenness of your men that the two of them were freed. ”

Min Gong then killed Duan Jue, hung his head under the horse, and those soldiers killed all these eunuchs, and then divided their troops to search for them.

Dong Zhuowang saw the smoke billowing in the sky over Luoyang, and learned that a major change had occurred in the imperial court, so he hurriedly ordered the march. Before dawn on the 28th, Dong Zhuocai arrived at Xianyang Garden, and heard that Zhang Rang, the servant of Zhongchang, and others had kidnapped Emperor Liu Wei and went to Beimang Mountain, so he rushed to Beimang Mountain.

At the foot of Beimang Mountain, the frightened young emperor Liu Wei cried in fright when he saw Dong Zhuojun galloping over. But Liu Xie, the king of Chen Liu, was not in a hurry, looking at the majestic Dong Zhuo, he just said with a firm expression: "You come to protect you, you come to rob you?" ”

Dong Zhuo replied: "Ru Te is here to protect you." ”

Liu Xie, the king of Chenliu, said: "Since you are here to protect you, then the Son of Heaven is here, why don't you get off the horse?" ”

Dong Zhuo was shocked, so he turned over and asked the Son of Heaven to get on the horse, and he wanted to follow him on foot. At this time, Min Gong arrived on horseback, and he leaned over to pick up King Chen Liu, and put him on horseback.

Dong Zhuo had no choice but to go back to the city with Min Gong. On the way, Dong Zhuo asked the young emperor Liu Wei about the incident, but Liu Wei was incoherent and the answer was not what he asked, which made people anxious. When asked Chen Liuwang Liu Xie again, he was able to explain it clearly. Dong Zhuo knew that Liu Xie was raised by the Empress Dowager Dong and was called "Dong Hou". Dong Zhuo thought that he was of the same clan as the Empress Dowager Dong, so he was overjoyed, and naturally hoped that Liu Xie would become the emperor in the future.

Back in Luoyang, all the forces have selfish intentions. And Dong Zhuozheng met his brother Dong Min and learned that the troops of the general He Jin and the general He Miao at that time belonged to nothing. So because of the matchmaking of Dong Min, the commander of Fengche, these generals were willing to submit to Dong Zhuo together, and when they saw that Dong Zhuo was powerful, they all became Dong Min's henchmen and stayed in Luoyang.

However, in the palace, Dong Zhuo proposed: "The Son of Heaven is the lord of all peoples, and without prestige, he cannot serve the temple and the shrine." Now he is cowardly, but if he is not as smart and studious as King Chen Liu, he can inherit the big position. I want to abolish the emperor and set up the king of Chenliu, why do the ministers think so? When the officials heard this, they did not dare to speak out.

And the state of the stabbing principle shouted: "No! Cannot! Who are you that dare to speak out? The Son of Heaven is the son of the first emperor, and he has no fault at the beginning, so why should he discuss the abolition of the establishment! Do you want to be a usurper? ”

Ding Yuan didn't listen to Dong Zhuo's orders at all, so that Dong Zhuo's way to enter the imperial court was blocked by relying on his own rescue skills. That Ding Yuan also came with heavy troops, and his men and horses were no less than Dong Zhuo, and there was a person standing behind Ding Yuan, who was born with a majestic and majestic style, holding Fang Tian's halberd in his hand, and glaring angrily.

Dong Zhuo's strategist Li Ru informed Dong Zhuo: "This person is Ding Yuan's righteous son, Lu Bu, Lu Fengxian, and the lord must avoid him, and he can't be defeated." ”

Dong Zhuo excused himself from eating too much wine and stopped talking. After leaving the palace, Dong Zhuo returned to the camp. Then he heard that there were people outside the camp gate who were begging for the enemy and scolding the enemy. Dong Zhuo went out to battle with all the generals, and the two armies faced each other, only to see that Na Lu Bu had a golden crown on his head, a hundred flowers in a robe, Tang Yi armor, a lion and a barbarian treasure belt, and a halberd on his horse, and followed Ding Jianyang out to the front of the battle.

Ding Yuan pointed at Dong Zhuo and scolded: "The country is unfortunate, and the eunuchs are in power, so that the people are miserable. There is no size of merit, how dare you speak presumptuously about the abolition of the establishment, and want to mess with the court! ”

Before Dong Zhuo could reply, Lu Bu had already been killed by flying horses. Dong Zhuo was invincible, and all the generals around him blocked him together, but they couldn't resist it. Dong Zhuo was defeated in a hurry, Ding Yuan led the army to cover up, Dong Zhuo's army was defeated, and he retreated more than 30 miles before cleaning up the remnants of the army and setting up camp.

Dong Zhuo gathered the crowd to discuss: "I look at Lu Bu is very human, if I get this person, why worry about the world!" ”

In front of the tent, Hu Ben Zhonglang put Li Su out of the list and said: "Don't worry, the lord is a fellow villager with Lu Bu, knowing that he has courage and no strategy, and forgets his righteousness when he sees profit." A certain wish to rely on a three-inch incorruptible tongue said that Lu Bu would surrender his hand. But the lord needs to give a heavy treasure, I don't know if the lord can be willing to do it? ”

Dong Zhuo said: "If I have it, I can give it away!" I wonder what General Lee said? ”

Li Su said: "I heard that the lord has a famous horse, called the Red Rabbit, who can travel thousands of miles in a day and walk eight hundred at night. He must obtain this horse, and then use gold beads to tie his heart. A certain change of words, Lu Bu will oppose Ding Yuan and come to vote for the lord. ”

Li Ru saw Dong Zhuo hesitating, so he said: "If the lord wants to break the world, why not do you care?" After getting Lu Bu, the lord can coerce the Son of Heaven and order the princes, and the world will be returned to the lord, so why bother with nothing? ”

Zhuo Xinran with it, and even with a thousand taels of gold, dozens of pearls, and a jade belt. Li Su carried these gifts and turned to Lu Bu Dazhai. When Lu Bu heard that an old man was coming, he invited him into the big tent. Li Su saw Lu Bu and said, "Brother Xian, don't come unharmed!" ”

Lu Bu arched his hand and said: "Brother Tai hasn't seen each other for a long time, where do you live now?" ”

Li Su said: "I am currently the general of the Tiger Ben, and I am overjoyed to hear that my brother Kuang Fu Sheji. Today, a good horse of the BMW horse, traveling thousands of miles a day, crossing the water and climbing the mountain, such as walking on the flat ground, the name is called the red rabbit, and the virtuous brother is specially dedicated to help the tiger. “

Lu Bu was overjoyed when he heard this, so he asked people to take a look. Soon, his subordinates brought the BMW brought by Li Su. Lu Bu's eyes lit up as soon as he saw it. But I saw that the whole body of the horse was as red as coals of fire, and there was not half a stray hair; From beginning to end, it is one zhang long; From hoof to neck, about eight feet high; Screaming and roaring, like a dragon soaring into the sea.

Later generations have a poem about this red rabbit horse and said:

Rushing thousands of miles of dust,

Crossing the water and climbing the mountain, the purple mist opens.

Break the silk reins and shake the jade bridle,

The fire dragon flew down for nine days. “

Lu Bu was overjoyed when he saw this horse, and he bowed to the end and said: Brother Tai gave this dragon horse, how will the virtuous brother repay him? But it doesn't hurt to talk about it! “

Li Su said: "Virtuous brother, but please retreat left and right, the foolish brother has his own words, tell the virtuous brother!" ”
