Chapter 68: Luoyang's Eunuch (Final) (6k)

Seeing that the Quartet would be recruited to Luoyang by He Jin, even Liu Qing, the only hopeful, seemed to join He Jin and went to Yingchuan to recruit troops, and Jian Shuo, who was in charge of soldiers and horses among the eunuchs, was also killed.

The eunuchs have been in power for a long time, and they are not all stupid people, and it is not a way to be frightened every day, so they have to retreat as an advance, and go to He Jin to ask for guilt to see what he says.

He Jin saw that these eunuchs who had been invincible in the past were prostrate at his feet, and he was very complacent, so he said: "The chaos in the world is your fault!" Now that Dong Zhongying, Liu Guozhu and others will soon arrive in Luoyang, why don't you leave as soon as possible? ”

Yuan Shao first leaned over He Jin and said: "General, these people are helpless now, send two or three soldiers to take them down, it is the best time!" ”

He Jin shook his head and said lightly: "I believe in me, and I have a letter, and I come to my house, as a general, I am in charge of the world's soldiers and horses, how can I easily lose my trust to others?" ”

Seeing this, Yuan Shao said on his behalf: "The guards will take down the eunuch with me." ”

When these little yellow doors saw it, they hurriedly hugged He Jin's thighs and shouted, "General, help." He Jin saw that one of the eunuchs was the one who asked him to send money to Zhang Rang when he was not yet visible, and remembered all the things of that day, and was quite touched, and shouted: "Who dares? ”

Yuan Shao persuaded again, He Jin was just not allowed.

The soldiers will block, the water will cover the earth, the eunuch to retreat as advance, Yuan Shao really has no choice, so he came to force each other step by step, he pretended to be in the name of He Jin, sent a letter to the states and counties, arrested the relatives of the eunuch, and ordered the Luoyang city gate to be strictly pressed. The person who delivered the decree happened to be a protΓ©gΓ© of the Yuan family, so it was convenient to act.

It is not unreasonable for Zhang to let this gelding dog control the center for many years, his adopted son's wife is the sister of the Empress Dowager He, and he actually kowtowed to the son-in-law: "If the old minister is offended, he should be private with the bride." Thinking about the grace of the world, now you want to stay away, it is difficult to give up, please enter the palace again, temporarily visit the queen mother and the emperor, and there will be no regrets about dying. ”

So the queen mother's sister told the queen mother, Wuyangjun, and Wuyangjun was passed on to the queen mother, and under the layer of transmission, the queen mother passed the edict, and the permanent attendants who had been dismissed for fear entered the palace again.

At this time, it has been more than 20 days since Liu Qing went out of Luo to recruit troops.

Liu Qing garrisoned the Yan Division, and followed the soldiers to practice every day, and he didn't have time to go to the first floor, for fear that he would not be able to make a success if he went to the battlefield one day before he made a contribution. It was noon after Liu Qingxun finished riding his horse, and after waiting for a long time, he still didn't see the herald.

Shocked, he shouted: "Dian Wei! Dian Wei! ”

Hearing this, Dian Wei rushed over and asked, "Lord, why are you so anxious?" ”

Liu Qing hurriedly said: "There is a change in Luoyang, gather soldiers and horses immediately, gallop Luoyang, the faster the better!" Fast! ”

Seeing this, Guo Jia also rushed over and asked, "Is there no faith today?" ”

Liu Qing got on the horse and said: "No letter, return to Luo quickly, the big thing is imminent." ”

Guo Jia grabbed Liu Qing and said, "Slow! Liu Jun, it's okay to go back to Luoyang, but I want to ask Liu Jun, what is the matter with going to Luoyang? ”

Liu Qing pondered for a while and said, "Baoluoyang is stable!" ”

Guo Jia admonished: "Joke! Baoluoyang is stable, is there an edict? Liu Junfeng's edict is an edict for recruiting troops, and he has not seen Baoluo's edict! Don't you hear that Dong Zhongying was reprimanded in the letter of the festival, and Dong Zhuo will also be a general! Don't dare to move lightly, retreat to the Sunset Pavilion! ”

He also said: "If the so-called name is not right, it will not go well, and if it is not good, it will not work!" If you enter Luo today, how can you order the soldiers? Why do you block the mouths of all the people in the world? He will inevitably be blamed by the official in the future, and Luoyang will not be able to live for a long time! This is a must-do! ”

Liu Qing went down to hold Guo Jia and said: "Feng Xiao taught me!" ”

Guo Jia thought for a while and said, "Go to Luoyang!" ”

Tossed and turned for Liu Qing to send a letter to the court, and the letter: Zhang Rang and others in the middle of the book steal the favor and turbid the sea. When the minister heard the soup to stop boiling, Mo Ruo went to salary; Although the ulcer is painful, it is better than internal food. In the past, Zhao Yingxing was the armor of Jinyang, and the wicked people on the side of the king. Today, the ministers are ringing bells and drums like the sun, please accept and so on, in order to clear the adultery.

The next day, Liu Qing received Yuan Shao's forged order from He Jin to transfer troops, and sent his troops and horses to Luo. He also received an order from Yuan Shao to forge the eunuch family.

Liu Qing motioned to Guo Jia and said, "This must be an order forged by Yuan Benchu, and the general has no such determination." ”

Guo Jia saw it and said loudly: "The time to enter Luo is today!" When Liu Jun became famous, it was also today! ”

Liu Qing was puzzled: "Why didn't you enter yesterday, but today you saw a false letter and entered Beijing instead?" ”

Guo Jia said with a smile: "Yesterday, if you entered Beijing without an edict, it was a chaotic soldier, so naturally you can't." Today's entry into Beijing is to receive an edict, that is, the teacher of King Qin's protection of the society, who dares not to obey? Who dares to argue? It is a forged letter, and we are leading the troops outside, how can we know it? ”

Liu Qing laughed, and then hurriedly gathered the soldiers and horses, ordered the soldiers to gallop to Luoyang, and shouted in front of the team: "Raise troops for a thousand days, use soldiers for a while, the general has an order, you will follow me to Luoyang as soon as possible, and worship the generals on the altar, just today!" ”

Another day passed after the march, it was August, He Jin entered the palace again to see the Empress Dowager He, and he said like an ordinary person: "Sister, you are now the queen mother, I said that I would punish the eunuchs before, but you didn't agree, and now I will punish the following people, you still don't allow it, why are you so against me?" I can't help you this time! ”

The world's major events are like a short conversation in the parents! He Jin is unwise.

When the eunuchs who served the Empress Dowager He heard this, they immediately summoned people to instigate him: "The first emperor died and was buried, and the general did not mourn or send the funeral under the pretext of illness, and now he suddenly came to the palace, what do you want?" Dou again? The Queen Mother doesn't think about us, and she doesn't think about Your Majesty! ”

Empress Dowager He was a woman who didn't pay attention, and she suspected that He Jin wanted to seize his power, but now she listened to the words of the eunuchs, and she was a stranger to her brothers, and secretly acquiesced to many acts of the eunuchs.

When He Jin returned home, another edict announced that he had entered the palace.

He Jin only said that his sister had a change of heart or something important to discuss, and he rushed to the palace after getting the edict.

Chen Lin, the chief bookkeeper, admonished: "The queen mother's edict must be a conspiracy of the ten permanent servants, and you must not go." Woe to you. ”

He Jin smiled: "How worried you are! The Queen Mother edicted me, what's the trouble? ”

Yuan Shao admonished again: "Now the plot has been leaked, the matter has been revealed, and the general still wants to enter the palace?" ”

He Jin said straightly: "What's the harm in entering the palace? ”

Cao Cao admonished again: "If the general insists on entering, first summon the ten permanent attendants out, and then you can enter." ”

He Jin said with a smile: "You have a child's opinion." I am in charge of the world, what do the ten permanent servants dare to do? ”

Yuan Shao admonished: "If the public wants to go, I will lead the armor guards to guard in case of accidents." ”

So Yuan Shao and Cao Cao each selected 500 elite soldiers and ordered Yuan Shao's brother Yuan Shu to lead the troops. Yuan Shu was draped all over his body, and led the troops outside the door. Yuan Shao and Cao Cao escorted He Jin to the front of Changle Palace with swords.

Huangmen passed on Yi Zhiyun: "The Queen Mother specially announced the general, and others are not allowed to enter." "Block Yuan Shao, Cao Cao and others from the palace gate.

He Jin advanced in high spirits, without thinking about anything else, and when he arrived in front of the Jiade Palace, dozens of swordsmen and axemen led by Zhang Rang, such as Duan Qi and Bi Lan, had been waiting for a long time with weapons, and surrounded He Jin.

He Jin was shocked and shouted left and right, but no one responded.

Zhang Rang reprimanded: "There is no one else here, no matter how loud you shout, no one will come to save you." ”

He said: "He Jin, I only ask you." Is the chaos in the world just the fault of my eunuchs? The first emperor often did not deal with the queen mother, and after the abolition, we all cried and rescued each other, and each contributed more than 10 million family wealth to please His Majesty, and just wanted to rely on your He family's portal. Now you say that you want to destroy the whole people of our family, how can the world be justified? Isn't it too much? You say that the palace is filthy and dirty, and who is the loyal and honest among the ministers? ”

He Jin was silent, panicked and busy, looking for a way out.

Zhang Rang said louder and louder: "You were originally a descendant who killed pigs and sold wine, but it was I who recommended you to the Son of Heaven, so that you are prosperous and rich today, why don't you think about retribution, but do harm!" Is there such a reason in the world!? ”

After that, the soldiers came out and hacked him to death, and He Jin suddenly turned into a puddle of meat in front of the Jiade Palace.

It can be said that the dragon and the tiger are suspicious, but Chen Lin seems to be stupid. Extinguishing the fire is not about the thousands of miles of grass, and the Han family society pays for the slaughter.

The words are divided into two ends, one for each table.

Liu Qing led the soldiers and horses to the Pingcheng Gate, and the Hou of the City Gate said from afar: "Who is under the city?" The general has ordered no one to enter or leave Luoyang! ”

Liu Qing hurriedly entered the palace, and only said, "You are a new soldier?" Don't you recognize me? Let me into town! ”

The man said: "If you say you can't enter, you can't enter, how can foreign soldiers enter the city?" ”

Chen Wu stepped forward and saw that it was Jia Xin, and scolded: "Jia Xin, are you blind? Do you see who this is? ”

There was a soldier next to him who recognized: "Jia Menhou, the other side looks like Chen Menhou!" Let them in! ”

"Oh, the one who led the troops was not Captain Liu, I saw him when Sima Zhou was training!"

"It's him, it's him! When Xu Gongming competed with Chen Menhou, I also saw him conferring officials! ”

There is always a mistake in Baimi, who knows that this Jia Xin was actually bought by He Jin, but he didn't let Liu Qing enter the door.

Liu Qing asked Guo Jiadao: "Fengxiao, at this time, go around the door to enter the palace, is it still too late?" ”

Guo Jia calculated: "There was no letter from Cunjie yesterday, indicating that the city gate has been blocked, and today I received Yuan Benchu's false edict, and the matter is urgent!" This door is the closest to the middle palace, if you enter from other doors, there are still procedures, I'm afraid you won't be able to catch up! ”

Jia Xin said: "It was Captain Liu in person, don't you know that the general has an order, no one is allowed to enter or leave, and please ask the captain to detour!" This road is not working! ”

Liu Qingce immediately stepped forward and came to the door.

Jia Xin exclaimed: "The captain still don't go forward, if you go again, you will have to release arrows!" "Saying that, there are also some people who have been bought by this Hou who want to shoot with bows!

Liu Qing said with a smile: "Pingcheng Gate Hou Jiaxin! It's a long ear! Good skills! Have you forgotten how I overtook you from the ranks in the first place? ”

Jia Xin sneered and said, "Liu Guozhu! I, Jia Xin, have my own ability today, what does it have to do with you? I'm better than them, and this job should be mine! ”

Liu Qing smiled and said: "Jia Xin, then let's see the real chapter under our hands!" ”

Then he shouted to the city gate: "I am now edicting the thief, whoever prevents me from entering the city will be evil, and everyone who follows the evil can be punished, Jia Xin rebelled from the castration, and you will also follow him to seek death?" I tell you, if I enter the city by any other gate, you will be a thief. Within three sounds, the city gate will not open, and everyone will be killed! ”

Immediately, many soldiers gathered together and slaughtered the city gates, shouting: "Captain, wait a moment! It's not that everyone is a traitor, we are ordinary people, and we dare not forget the grace of Liu Jun's promotion! ”

Jia Xin bought only a few, most of them were selected by Liu Qing and Zhou Tai, this group of people is getting bigger and bigger, and there are many soldiers guarding the city gate towards Liu Qing, and they are gradually killed together, I don't know who opened the city gate.

Liu Qing shouted to the people behind him: "Come into the city with me!" The people of Jia Xin, there is no forgiveness for killing! ”

With that, take the lead and rush to the inner city.

Dian Wei and Chen Wu followed closely and rushed in.

Dian Wei made two halberds, slashed left and right, and protected Liu Qing into the inner city, only to see that wherever the halberd went, the corpses were flying sideways, and everyone dared not stop them. Chen Wu also had murderous intent, and a spear flipped left and right, and it was killed in front of Jia Xin in a short time.

Jia Xin bought not many people, most of them were killed by two people, most of the people in the city were killed, and then the army outside the city rushed, and almost none of them remained.

Liu Qingce rode to Jia Xin and raised his head and said, "Tell you, Jia Xin!" If I can lift you up from the ground, I can also crush you to the dust! ”

Jia Xin knelt down again and again, and before the words of begging for mercy were spoken, Liu Qing killed him with a sword.

Provoked his head and said: "Jia Xin followed the eunuchs to make trouble, I am edicted to beg the thief, and his crime cannot be punished!" Brothers, who have helped me into the city today, are rewarded for my meritorious service, and I will be rewarded for my great deeds. ”

The guards at the gate suffered almost no casualties, and they were inexplicably happy to receive a reward.

After finishing speaking, Liu Qing immediately appointed a brave soldier to act as a gatekeeper, temporarily guarding the city gate, and strictly ordering no one or any soldier or horse to pass.

After the arrangement was completed, he hurriedly came to Zhou Tai, Xu Huang, and Song Qian, and the two of them rectified the soldiers and horses every day.

What are the soldiers and horses under Liu Qing?

Half of the soldiers were rotated at each city gate, 600 people, led by Zhou Tai.

Liu Qing recruited 400 new soldiers in Yingchuan, led by Chen Wu, and a 100-man cavalry guard, led by Liu Qing and Dian Wei.

Previously, there were 100 elite guards in Luoyang, led by Song Qian and Xu Huang.

1,200 in all.

At this time, Liu Qing led the generals and 1,200 people to the South Palace, just as Yuan Shao shouted in front of the palace gate: "The eunuch murders the minister!" Those who punish the evil party come to help in the war! ”

Yuan Shu and Wu Kuang worked together to slash and attack, and Zhonghuangmen held weapons to guard the pavilion, the so-called survival in death was all a fight for life, which rushed to kill.

Liu Qingyu immediately shouted: "Lujiang Liu Guozhu is here!" Castration is quickly killed! ”

Yuan Shao saw Liu Qing leading his troops to come, and the army was very majestic, surprised and delighted, and shouted: "The country helps me!" Kill the castration quickly! ”

Liu Qing shouted when he heard this: "The three armies listened to the order, and the eunuchs brought disaster to the country and the people, I was edicted to beg the thieves, and all the eunuchs I encountered were killed, and no one was left!" ”

It was twilight, and Yuan Shu wanted to threaten Zhang Rang and others to come out because he set fire to the Nine Dragon Gate of Nangong and the East and West Palace. While putting it down, he shouted: "Kokusuke, watch me put this fire to help you!" ”

Where are those Yellow Gates the opponents of the armies led by Liu Qing, and they are also led by Zhou Tai, Dian Wei, and Xu Huang, and they will be killed in a short time.

Some eunuchs wanted to kneel down and beg for mercy, but they became headless corpses before they could say anything, some eunuchs wanted to hide behind the royal things, and they never wanted to kill them correctly, so they reincarnated, and some wanted to make friends with Liu Qingpan, but they were cut into eight pieces by Dian Wei before Liu Qing.

For a while, people's heads were rolling, blood was flowing like rivers, and some of the rich and gorgeous things used in the palace were red with blood!

The palace was full of flames, and Zhang Rang and others told the Empress Dowager He that the general rebelled, set fire to the palace, and led the troops to attack Shangshumen.

The Queen Mother was suspicious: "Is it a general?" How did I hear someone outside shouting for Liu Guozhu? ”

Zhang Rang was afraid that he would see through it and said: "It's urgent!" The Queen Mother will explain to me later! ”

That is, he sent people to rob the Queen Mother, the Son of Heaven, and King Chen Liu, and robbed the officials and subordinates in the palace, and ran from Fudao to the North Palace. Before leaving, he disappeared for a while, as if to inform someone.

Duan Jue was anxious for a while, and held the Empress Dowager He around his waist with one hand, Shangshu Lu Zhi saw it, chased after him, raised his head and scolded: "Dog thief, what do you want to capture the Empress Dowager?" The Queen Mother's mother is the world, how dare she be so rude? ”

Lu Zhi is a great Confucian in the world, capable of literature and martial arts, and at this time he was stubborn and scolded, Duan Qi was afraid and lacking strength, so he threw the Empress Dowager He who was holding him to the ground. shouted everywhere to kill, and the Empress Dowager He was cornered and had no way out, so she had to jump out of the pavilion.

Fortunately, the pavilion is not high, it happened that Liu Qing was looking for the Son of Heaven under the attic, and when he saw the Empress Dowager He jumping out of the pavilion, he caught it, held it in his arms, pretended not to know, and said: "Liu Guozhu, the captain of the Chengmen, is late to help the rescue, and the Queen Mother forgives the sin." ”

Then he glanced down at the young woman, although she looked graceful and luxurious, cold and arrogant and agile, but quite seductive, clear and beautiful out of the dust but carried into the bones of the charm, at the moment looked panicked, frightened and afraid, looking forward to it, has its own elegant and noble temperament, people are taken by it, ashamed of themselves, dare not blaspheme.

However, Liu Qing's favorite is a pair of white jade upside-down beads worn by the Queen Mother's earlobes, swinging one by one, fluttering slightly in the wind, lining the neck more and more slender and white.

The skin is better than snow, the body is slender, the long hair is draped in the vest, the thin waist is tight enough for Liu Qing Yingyingying, Liu Qing only felt the soft tightness of the palm of his hand, and he couldn't help pinching it.

Empress Dowager He had just been held hostage and jumped downstairs, she was already drenched in sweat, panting and barely recovering her breathing, but at this time she was pinched by Liu Qing and screamed.

Lu Zhi hurriedly asked, "Guozhu, is there something wrong with the Queen Mother?" ”

Liu Qing glanced at the Empress Dowager He, and the woman had nothing to do except her face was crimson, so she said: "The emperor's grace is vast, and the Empress Dowager has nothing to do!" ”

Lu Zhi immediately sighed: "It's really a loyal minister!" Kokusuke is really loyal to the minister! ”

Empress Dowager He held up her composure in Liu Qing's arms and said: "Aiqing has a meritorious role in saving the driver, and I will definitely ask for a reward for Qing in the future, let me go quickly!" ”

Liu Qing hugged him comfortably and said solemnly: "Queen Mother, you don't know, these eunuchs are hateful!" first hijacked the Queen Mother, if you find out that the Queen Mother is here, maybe what will she do? At that time, I will be single, and I may not be able to save the Queen Mother, but I will still be so safe! ”

After that, he hugged the Empress Dowager He tighter.

Empress Dowager He's face was red and she wanted to reprimand Liu Qing, but at this time, she was also afraid of what the eunuch would do, so she had to turn her head to the side, pretending not to know, and letting Liu Qing hold her.

After a while, Zhou Tai came to him and said, "Lord, Yuan Shao and Wu Kuang don't know where to go!" ”

Liu Qing couldn't care about the love of his children at this time, and when he put down the queen mother, he was about to go forward to find someone.

Who knew that the Empress Dowager He grabbed him, and said with some gesture and some embarrassment: "Captain Liu is loyal and patriotic, the chaos here is tight, I'm afraid that something will happen, and the captain may arrange a safe place?" ”

Liu Qing said to the soldiers who rushed over: "Come on, lock this person in my house, this person is a criminal of the imperial court, I have something important to interrogate, take care of it at all times!" ”

Empress Dowager He exclaimed: "Captain Liu! How can you ...... How so! ”

Another soldier reported to Liu Qingdao: "Wu Kuang led his soldiers to kill He Miao." ”

After a while, there was a hurry: "Yuan Shao and his uncle Yuan Kui pretended to be the emperor to summon Fan Ling and Xu Xiang to kill." ”

Liu Qing found Guo Jia and said: "Fengxiao, what can I do about it?" ”

Guo Jia said quietly: "The key is in the ears of the Son of Heaven, regardless of the rest!" ”

Liu Qing immediately got on the horse and led a hundred cavalry and personally guarded the elite soldiers to chase the Son of Heaven, met Zhao Zhong who was fleeing for his life on the way, drove the troops to surround him, punished the eunuchs around him, rode a horse to his front and said: "Zhao Changshi, long time no see." ”

Zhao Zhong saw that it was Liu Qing, and secretly said that something was wrong, and pleaded: "Captain Liu, I haven't seen you for a long time, you haven't seen you for a few days, it's really heroic and majestic, please let me go!" ”

Liu Qing smiled and said: "Eh, Zhao Changshi, we haven't seen each other for many days, let's talk about the past!" ”

Zhao Zhongxin said: What old story do I have with you? How can anyone kill someone and come back to reminisce about the past?

He knelt down and kowtowed again and again: "Captain spare your life, spare your life!" ”

Liu Qing smiled and asked, "Zhao Changshi, that day the court will say that Liu has no talent, what about today?" ”

Zhao Zhong said again and again: "Liu Jun is talented, talented!" ”

Liu Qing said sharply again: "Then I said that I will kill you one day, do you remember?" ”

Before Zhao Zhong could answer, he died immediately under the horse.

The rest of Cheng Kuang, Xia Xun, and Guo Sheng were driven to Cuihualou by Cao Cao and Yuan Shao and chopped into meat puree.

Dong Zhuowang saw the smoke billowing in the sky above Luoyang, guessed that there was a big change in the court or the palace, and hurriedly ordered the march.

Zhuo's son-in-law strategist Li Ruxi said: "Today's edict is justified, and great things can be done." ”

Suddenly, Liu Qing's text came from the table, and Li Ru was shocked when he saw it: "Who is this!" He acted so carefully, and he was resolute and resolute, thinking of everything, I waited for a step! How deep the plan is! ”

Immediately reported the matter to Dong Zhuo: "Dong Gong, this person is very meticulous, first awarded the official, and then went out to recruit troops left and right, and finally this table has been passed here for two or three days, presumably it has now arrived in Luoyang, it can be said that it is a battalion step by step, the plan is deep, even Confucianism can not guess through, it is very terrifying, if the public enters Luoding, you must pay attention to Liu Qing, this person is a big trouble!" ”

Dong Zhuo hadn't seen Li Ru so out of shape, so he nodded again and again, secretly remembering Liu Qing in his heart.
