Nine\ \ Yuan Shao entered the palace to slaughter the eunuchs, and Dong Zhuo abolished the defense and set up the emperor

However, he said that He Jin was about to enter the palace by edict, but the lord Bo Chenlin dissuaded him: "The queen mother's edict must be a conspiracy of the ten permanent servants, and you can't go." If you go, you will be in trouble. ”

He Jin said: "The Queen Mother edicted me, what can be the trouble, this child's opinion." ”

Yuan Shao was also very worried: "Now that our plan is leaked, knowing the conspiracy of the Ten Standing Servants, does the general still insist on entering the palace?" ”

Cao Cao said: "Call the ten permanent servants out first, and then enter the palace." ”

He Jin smiled and said: "I am in charge of the world, what do the ten permanent servants dare to do to me?" ”

Yuan Shao said: "The general must go, we will lead the armor to escort and prevent accidents." So Yuan Shao and Cao Cao each selected 500 elite soldiers, and ordered Yuan Shao's younger brother Hu Ben Zhonglang to lead Yuan Shu and Bulie Qingzuo outside the gate. Yuan Shao and Cao Cao escorted He Jin to Changle Palace with swords, and the Yellow Gate passed on the edict and said: "The Empress Dowager specially announced that the general entered the palace alone, and the rest of the people were not allowed to enter." "Yuan Shao, Cao Cao and others were blocked outside the palace gate,

He Jin walked straight in, just past the gate of the Jiade Palace, Zhang Rang and Duan Jue greeted him, and the knife and axe hands behind the door surrounded He Jin left and right, and He Jin was shocked. Zhang Rang reprimanded He Jin sharply: "What is the crime of the Empress Dowager Dong, you will drive her out of the palace gate under the pretext that it is not suitable to live in the palace for a long time, and move to the river for resettlement; besieged the mansion of the hussar general Dong Chong, pursued the seal, and forced General Dong Chong to kill himself in the back hall; then secretly sent people to kill the Empress Dowager Dong in the river; The mother of the country was funeral, and she couldn't get out of illness. You were originally a butcher's child, and we recommended you to Emperor Ling, so you are so honored today. Thou hast not been grateful for thy virtue, but thou hast plotted against us. Thou hast said that we are so turbid that thou wilt be innocent? Nowadays, inside and outside the court, the government and the opposition, whether it is relatives and eunuchs, or bureaucrats at all levels, how can there be innocent people. He Jin was frightened, and hurriedly looked for a way out, at this time the palace gate was closed, and the knife and axe stepped forward and cut He Jin into two sections. Luo Gong borrowed the poems of later generations to sigh He Jin: "The Han family is in danger for several days, and there is no plan for He Jin to be the third duke." If you don't listen to advice a few times, you will inevitably suffer from the sword in the palace. ”

Let's say that Yuan Shao and Cao Cao were blocked from the gate of Changle Palace, and they couldn't see He coming in and out for a long time. Yuan Shao shouted loudly outside the palace gate: "Please get in the car!"

Zhang Rang asked someone to throw He Jin's head off the wall, and announced: "He Jin rebelled and has been beheaded, and the rest of the coerced subordinates are all forgiven and pardoned." ”

Yuan Shao shouted sharply: "The eunuchs murdered the ministers, and they all came to help in the war and eradicate the evil party!" He Jinbu set Wu Kuang on fire and burned the Qingzuo Gate. Yuan Shu led his troops into the palace, but when he saw the eunuchs, no matter how big or small, they were all killed. Yuan Shao and Cao Cao entered the palace, and Zhao Zhong, Cheng Kuang, Xia Hui, and Guo Sheng were chopped into meat paste in front of Cuihualou. The flames in the palace soared to the sky, the smoke was billowing out, Zhang Rang, Duan Jue, Cao Jie, Hou Lan and others took the Empress Dowager He and the young emperor Liu Wei and Chen Liuwang Liu Xie from the back road to the north palace and fled in a hurry. Just when Lu Zhi persuaded He Jin to stop Dong Zhuo from coming to Beijing and abandoned the official without complying, he had not yet left, and when he saw the incident in the palace, he put on armor and went into the palace to rescue him. Lu Zhiyao saw Duan Jue hugging Empress Dowager He to come over, shouted loudly, and blocked the way. Duan Jue turned around and left, and Empress Dowager He took the opportunity to escape. Lu Zhi couldn't chase after Duan Jue, and hurriedly rescued the Empress Dowager He. Wu Kuang entered the inner court and met He Jin's younger brother He Miao coming out with a sword. Wu Kuang is the general of He Jin's tribe, and he usually resents He Jin's younger brother He Miao and He Jin are not single-minded, suspecting that He Miao and the eunuch conspired to kill He Jin, so he shouted: "The one who killed the general is this thief who does not remember brotherhood, and he should be cut with a thousand knives." All the soldiers shouted in unison: "I want to kill the thief who plotted to kill my brother." He Miao panicked and fled, and the soldiers surrounded him on all sides and cut He Miao into powder. Yuan Shao and his uncle Yuan Kui pretended to be edicted, killed the eunuchs Xu Xiang and Fan Ling, and then ordered the eunuchs Zhao Zhong and others who did not have time to escape, and ordered the palace gate to be closed, strictly forbidden to enter and exit, and commanded the soldiers to search for the eunuchs in the palace, both old and young were killed, and there were more than 2,000 dead, and some people who did not have long beards were also killed as eunuchs. Cao Cao commanded his soldiers to extinguish the fire in the palace, and on the one hand, he asked the Empress Dowager He to take charge of the major events, and on the other hand, he sent soldiers to chase Zhang Rang and find the young emperor.

The fire in the palace was extinguished, the embers were still there, and it was getting late, Zhang Rang and others kidnapped the young emperor and Chen Liuwang to take advantage of the chaos to get out of the palace gate, and fled to Beibi Mountain overnight. At about the second watch, the people and horses neighed behind, and Min Gong, a Pengguan in central Henan, led an army to chase after him. Zhang Rang was in a hurry, so he threw himself into the river and died. Duan Qi and the others saw that Zhang Rang threw himself into the river, and he didn't care about the young emperor and Chen Liuwang, so they scattered and fled. Min Gong sent his soldiers to chase around, looking for the young emperor and Chen Liuwang, but they were nowhere to be found. The young emperor and King Chen Liuwang saw that there were military horses chasing and killing, but they didn't know the truth and didn't dare to say anything in the grass by the river. The young emperor wanted to come out, but was pulled by King Chen Liu. When the people and horses dispersed, it was the fourth watch, it was the end of August, the weather turned cool, the dew fell, the mosquito bites in the grass, the hunger and thirst in the stomach were unbearable, only the fourteen-year-old young emperor Liu Wei and only the nine-year-old Chen Liuwang Liu Xie, since they were born in the palace, clothes to stretch out their hands, food to open their mouths, shouting three and four, where have suffered such tribulations, snuggling up to each other and crying, and afraid of being discovered, secretly crying, swallowing in the thorns and grass. After a while, Liu Xie said: "This is not a place to stay for a long time, you have to find a path to return to the palace." Liu Wei was at a loss, so he had to follow his words. So in the dark, you pulled me, and I pulled you, sprinting, and climbing the embankment to find the path. The two helped each other along the road to the fifth watch, their legs were weak and their feet hurt, and they couldn't walk, so they rested by a haystack on the side of the road. At this time, a team of salt horses happened to pass by, and a groom went to the haystack to relieve himself, and found two children squatting beside the grass, so he informed the salt merchant.

This salt merchant is from Hanoi County, and he is the same salt merchant who was entrusted by Guan Xu to settle his parents. In order to avenge his master Han Shouyi's father and daughter, Guan Xu was afraid that his parents and wife would be affected, so he repaired the book and asked the salt merchant to settle down and take care of his parents and wife. Guan Xu is not mistaken, this salt merchant is an upright person, quite capable of righteousness and trustworthiness, and often has the action of helping the poor. When he read the letter that Guan Xu asked Zhou Cang's father and son to forward to him, saying that "entrusted by others, he must be loyal to people", so he bought a house in Hanoi County to settle Guan Xu's parents' family and bear all the expenses of the family's food, clothing and daily life.

At this time, the salt merchant came with the groom to the haystack and asked the two children why they were sleeping there in the middle of the night. Liu Wei was too scared to answer, and Liu Xie said that it was because of a fire in his home and he escaped the disaster and got lost. The salt merchant took pity on him and told the groom to carry the two children on his horse. The groom said: "It is about to dawn, and it is inconvenient to take two children. The salt merchant said: "There is a village in front, and the owner Cui Yi is an acquaintance of mine, and when the child is entrusted to him, we will leave." The salt merchant took the horse team to the village, told the horse team to hide outside the village, brought two children into the village, saw Cui Yi, and asked to send the two children who suffered the fire home. Cui Yi generously agreed to keep the salt merchant for dinner. The salt merchant said: "The sky is about to dawn, and it is inconvenient for the horse team to live in the village." said goodbye to Cui Yi and led the horse team.

Cui Yi sent the salt merchant away, turned around and asked the two children: "Where does the second boy's family live, and who is his father?" Liu Wei trembled and did not dare to respond, Liu Xie pointed at Liu Wei and said: "This is the current emperor, I am the emperor's brother Chen Liuwang, because of the rebellion of the ten permanent servants, fled here." Cui Yi was shocked, and hurriedly knelt down to pay respects: "I am the first to worship Cui Yi, the younger brother of Situ Cui Lie, because I saw the ten permanent servants selling official beards, jealous of the virtuous and jealous, so I live in seclusion here." Then he stood up, and called for food and wine to be served, and knelt down to persuade him to eat. During the meal, Cui Yi asked for details, and Liu Xie told Zhang Rang about the scene of Zhang Rang holding the young emperor hostage to Beibi Mountain and meeting the salt horse team here.

Before the young emperor and Chen Liuwang had finished eating, they suddenly heard the neighing of the horse, Cui Yi hurriedly went out of the house, and saw Min Gongli in front of the door, and the horse's neck was hanging on his head. Cui Yi was shocked and asked what was going on? Min Gong disappeared from the search for the young emperor and Chen Liuwang, caught up with Duan Jue, and asked, "Where is the Son of Heaven?" Duan Jue said, "I got lost halfway and didn't know where to go." Min Gong was furious, killed Duan Jue, and looked for here. Cui Yi led Min Gong into the house to meet the young emperor and King Chen Liu, and the monarch and ministers hugged their heads and cried.

Min Gong said: "The country cannot be without a king for a day, please return the capital immediately." Cui Yi hurriedly took out the only thin horse in the village for the young emperor to ride, and Min Gong and Chen Liuwang rode a horse together and left the village. After a few miles, seeing the late Taiwei Cui Lie and hundreds of ministers of civil and military affairs came to greet him, he first sent people to Beijing with Duan Jue's head to hang the order, and then changed horses to let the young emperor and Chen Liuwang ride, and surrounded the young emperor to return to Beijing.

However, it was said that Dong Zhuowang saw thick smoke billowing over Kyoto, and it was expected that a major change had occurred in the imperial court, so he hurriedly ordered the march. Before dawn on the 28th, Dong Zhuo arrived at Xianyang Garden, and heard that Zhang Rang, the servant of Zhongchang, and others had kidnapped Emperor Liu Wei and went to Beibi Mountain, so he rushed to Beibi Mountain, and met the young emperor on the way to return to Beijing to drive.

The frightened young emperor saw Dong Zhuojun galloping and cried in fright. Cui Lie scolded Dong Zhuo for evasion. Dong Zhuo pointed at Cui Lie and scolded: "I have run for more than 300 miles day and night, what are you saying to avoid now?" Believe it or not, I'll cut off your head! Then, Dong Zhuo cross-examined the ministers: "As ministers of state, you ministers cannot correct the royal family, causing turmoil in the country and the Son of Heaven being left behind, how can you have a reason for me to withdraw from the army!" Subsequently, Dong Zhuo entered the welcoming team, first met Liu Wei, and then reached out to hug Liu Xie, the king of Chen Liu, from Min Gong's arms. Liu Xie refused, and Dong Zhuo had to go with Min Gong and enter the city together. Dong Zhuo asked Liu Wei about the incident. Liu was incoherent, but Liu Xie was able to express it clearly. Dong Zhuo knew that Liu Xie was raised by the Empress Dowager Dong, called "Dong Hou", and thought that he was of the same clan as the Empress Dowager Dong, so he was happy and had the intention of abolishing it.

Dong Zhuo first entered Luoyang, no more than 3,000 cavalry, he thought that the few soldiers could not convince the public, so he came up with a bluff plan, every night to send soldiers out of the city with four gates, during the day with great fanfare and four gates, for four or five days, claiming that the Xiliang soldiers and horses were marching into the Beijing division in batches, and the crowd was not aware of it, thinking that Dong Zhuo's soldiers and horses were innumerable. In addition, Wu Kuang, who was part of He Jin, killed He Miao, and his subordinates had no belonging, and they all obeyed Dong Zhuo's orders. Dong Zhuo became more and more arrogant, and he was unscrupulous in entering and leaving the palace.

Previously, Bao Xin, the cavalry captain, returned to his hometown to recruit troops on He Jin's order, and when he came back, he saw Dong Zhuo so unscrupulous, and came to see Yuan Shao, saying that Dong Zhuo must have different intentions and should be eliminated as soon as possible. Yuan Shao said, "The imperial court has just stabilized, so don't move lightly." Bao Xin saw Situ Wang Yun again and also said about it, while Wang Yun said, "Let's discuss." Bao Xin saw that it was difficult to scream in the lonely palm, so he led the soldiers of his headquarters to Mount Tai. At this time, the imperial court dismissed Sikong Liu Hong, worshiped Dong Zhuo as Sikong, and moved to Taiwei.

Dong Zhuo consulted with the strategist Li Ru, held a feast in Wenmingyuan, convened hundreds of officials, and said that he would depose the young emperor Liu Wei and set up Liu Xie, the king of Chen Liu, as the emperor. Shangshu Lu Zhi objected, Dong Zhuo was furious and wanted to kill him, but he was dissuaded by a servant and was spared. Ding Yuan tried his best to oppose it, and Dong Zhuo was annoyed and angry: "Those who follow me live, and those who oppose me die!" Then he drew his sword and wanted to cut Ding Yuan. Li Ru saw a person standing behind Ding Yuan, angry and majestic, holding Fang Tian's halberd, glaring angrily, and hurriedly said: "Today's banquet, don't talk about national politics, it's not too late to talk about it in Japan." Everyone persuaded Ding Yuan to go out of the city and return to the camp. Seeing this situation, Situ Wang Yun was afraid that some colleagues would be hurt if they spoke out, so he hurriedly said: "Don't discuss the abolition of major matters after drinking, and discuss it another day." So all the ministers took the opportunity to disperse. Dong Zhuo was still angry, and stood at the garden gate with his sword, and saw the man standing behind Ding Yuan just now prancing on a horse and holding a halberd, galloping back and forth outside the garden gate, so he asked Li Ru: "Who is this?" ”

Li Ru said: "This person's surname is Lu, the name is cloth, the word Fengxian, and the state of Wuyuan County Jiuyuan County, good at riding and shooting, brave and martial, known as the "flying general", the beginning of Ding Yuan's general, because of its courage and abnormality, was accepted by Ding Yuan as a righteous son, awarded the cavalry captain, Hanoi master book. The lord can avoid it for the time being. When Dong Zhuo heard this, he retreated to the park to hide.

The next day, Ding Yuan and Lu Bu led troops to challenge outside the city. Dong Zhuo was furious when he heard the report, and he and Li Ru led the soldiers to greet him. The two armies faced each other, and I saw Lu Bu wearing a golden crown on his head, wearing Tang Qi armor, a lion belt around his waist, and a hundred flowers robe, majestic and murderous. Ding Yuan came out of the battle, pointed at Dong Zhuo and said: "The country is unfortunate, and the eunuchs are in power, so that all the people are in misery. There is no size of merit, and he dares to abolish the establishment and want to disturb the court. Before Dong Zhuo could speak, Lu Bu had already taken Dong Zhuo directly. The generals will come out to face the battle, and none of them are opponents. Dong Zhuo turned his horse's head and fled in a hurry, and Ding Yuan took advantage of the situation to wave his army to cover the killing.

Dong Zhuo was defeated and fled back, quite worried, and discussed with everyone: "Lu Bu is brave, very incomparable, if it can be used by me, why worry about the world!" ”

Zhonglang General Li Su said: "Don't worry, lord. I am a fellow villager with Lu Bu. Knowing that he has courage and no strategy, he forgets his righteousness when he sees profit, and he is a mother when he has milk. With my three-inch tongue, I can persuade Lu Bu to surrender. ”

Dong Zhuo was overjoyed and asked what method could be used to persuade Lu Bu? Li Su said: "The lord's 'red rabbit' BMW travels thousands of miles in a day and eight hundred at night. If you use this horse, plus gold and silver and wealth, you will tie your heart with profit; Xu high-ranking official titles, tempting his desire with fame; Fellow villagers rush their knees, and move their feelings with words, like Lu Bu, they will oppose Ding Yuan and vote for the lord. ”

When it comes to "Red Rabbit", it is really a rare horse in the world and a BMW horse that is difficult to find in the world, Dong Zhuo is quite unbearable. Li Ru next to him saw that Dong Zhuo was a little hesitant, so he said: "The lord wants to take the world, why should he regret it!" Dong Zhuo readily agreed, and ordered Li Su to use a BMW and a thousand taels of gold, a jade belt, and dozens of pearls to persuade Lu Bu to surrender.

As expected, Lu Bu got a BMW, calling himself "Lu Bu among people, red rabbit among horses", coupled with the lure of gold and silver wealth and high-ranking officials, what kind of conscience of heaven and earth, father-son friendship, completely left behind. At the second watch of the night, he actually raised a knife into the account and cut off the head of his father-in-law Ding Yuan. When the sergeant saw that Ding Yuan had been killed, most of them dispersed. The next day, Lu Bu took refuge in Dong Zhuo, and shamelessly worshiped Dong Zhuo as his father-in-law, and the remaining soldiers and horses belonged to Dong Zhuo. Dong Zhuo was overjoyed, he led the former general military, and his younger brother Dong Min was named General Zuo and Marquis of E, and Lu Bu was named Captain of Cavalry, General Zhonglang, and Marquis of Duting.

On August 30, Dong Zhuo held a banquet in Xianyang Garden, and ordered Lu Bu to lead a thousand armor guards to discuss the abolition of the legislature. Taifu Yuan Kui and all the ministers are there. After several rounds of drinking, Dong Zhuo stood by his sword: "I follow the example of Yi Yin and Huo Guang to depose the young emperor as the king of Hongnong, and set up the king of Chen Liu as the current emperor, and those who do not obey will be beheaded!" The ministers were terrified, and no one dared to speak. After a moment of silence, he suddenly saw the lieutenant of the Chinese military standing up: "The young emperor has only been on the throne for three months, and there is nothing immoral, but he has abolished his heirs, what is the opposite?" Dong Zhuo was furious: "The world is in my business." I want to abolish my grandson today, who dares to disobey? You kid dare to speak out without saying anything, is it because my sword is not sharp enough? ”。

Yuan Shao ridiculed: "Your sword is sharp, and my sword is not sharp." Seeing this, Li Ru hurriedly advised: "The matter has not yet been decided, don't kill in vain." Yuan Shao came out angrily with a saber in his hand and went to Jizhou.

Dong Zhuo turned around and asked Yuan Kui: "Your nephew is rude, I look at your face, let me forgive me." In Taifu's opinion, what about the abolition? ”

Yuan Kui hurriedly said: "What the Taiwei has seen is extremely true. Dong Zhuo turned to the ministers: "Since Taifu has agreed to abolish the establishment, the rest of those who dare to stop it will be dealt with by military law." The ministers were terrified and said, "Everything obeys and obeys."

On the first day of the first month of September, hundreds of civil and military officials gathered in the front hall of Chongde to hold an abolition ceremony, which was presided over by Shangshuding Palace. First of all, Dong Zhuo drew his sword in his hand and said to the ministers: "The Son of Heaven is weak, not enough to rule the world. This line is abolished, and there is a policy together, which should be read out. Then, Li Ru read out the policy, which was nothing more than the young emperor Liu Bian's "frivolous talent and lack of prestige"; Empress Dowager He "taught no mother, and ruled the government in chaos"; Liu Xie, the king of Chen Liu, "Shengde Weimao, the rules are solemn, the reputation of the rest of the voice, and the world has heard of it", and the text finally said: "The emperor is hereby abolished as the king of Hongnong, and the queen mother returns to power, and the people should be obedient to the heavens, so as to comfort the hope of the heavenly souls." Next, Taifu Yuan Kui helped Liu Wei off the throne, lifted the jade seal, knelt in the north, said that the ministers obeyed orders, and then helped Liu Xie to officially ascend the throne, and hundreds of officials congratulated. Dong Zhuo ordered the Empress Dowager He, King Hongnong and the imperial concubine Tang to live in Yong'an Palace, blocked the palace gate, and forbade the ministers from entering and leaving without authorization. Emperor Ling's eldest son, Liu Bian, was proclaimed emperor by He Jin in front of Emperor Ling's coffin in April, and was deposed by Dong Zhuo in September of that year. Dong Zhuo established Liu Xie, the middle son of Emperor Ling, the cousin Bohe, was nine years old at the time, and he was dedicated to the emperor and changed the beginning of the year. Dong Zhuo worships Xiangguo, seals the Marquis of Yi, worships no name, does not enter the court, and goes to the palace with his sword, and his prestige is incomparable. He also named his mother "Chiyang Jun", and set up orders and Cheng. Since then, Dong Zhuo's power in the court has been soaring.

After the dispersal of the dynasty, Dong Zhuo asked Zhou Yu and Captain Wu Qiong: "Yuan Shao left angrily, how to deal with it?" Zhou Yu said: "Yuan Shao left angrily, if he is forced too quickly, it will inevitably change." Moreover, the fourth generation of the Yuan family is favored by the emperor, and the protΓ©gΓ©s and former officials are all over the world. It is better to forgive his sins and seal a county guard, Yuan Shao will thank him for the grace of not sinning, and the lord will have no worries. ”

Wu Qiong also agreed with Zhou Bi's opinion: "What the waiter said is true. Yuan Shao is scheming and indecisive, so there is nothing to worry about. If you forgive his sins and seal a county as a guardian, you can buy his heart. Dong Zhuo listened to the advice of the two and sent someone to Jizhou on the same day to worship Yuan Shao as the Taishou of Bohai.

Dong Zhuo supported Liu Xie as the emperor, and at the age of nine, he was in control of the emperor and monopolized the power of the court. Li Ru persuaded Dong Zhuo to use celebrities to gain popularity, and recommended Cai Yong. Dong Zhuo knew that Cai Yong was talented and had a reputation for the government and the opposition, so he immediately recruited Cai Yong into the court to be ordered. Cai Yong deduced that he was sick. Dong Zhuo was furious and scolded: "I have the power to destroy the three clans, even if Cai Yong is proud, it is just a matter of turning a foot." And he called them, saying, "If they do not come, they will destroy their people." Exactly: Qing Gao is unwilling to respond to the call, and he is arbitrary. If you want to know how Cai Yong's life is, and look at the next decomposition.
