In the city of Luoyang, the surviving eunuchs in the palace gathered together.

Now that Emperor Ling is gone, He Jin holds power, Empress Dowager He and He Miao and others mediate from it, and He Jin will not directly lead troops into the palace.

Compared with the Spirit Emperor's dynasty, they have a lot less authority after all, and when they were in the limelight of the past, they can only barely survive now.

What's more, now there is news that He Jin recruited foreign soldiers and wanted to coerce the Queen Mother to abandon them.

Finally survived Cao Jie, Zhang Rang, who sat on the seat of Da Changqiu, coughed lightly and took the lead in speaking: "What kind of characters are they in the He family, I don't need to say more." ”

"If we hadn't taken care of it when we were in the palace back then, how could we have today's majesty? That He Jin was just a pig and dog slaughterer in the past, but now he is in power, and he wants to wave a knife at his benefactor in the past, which is really ridiculous. ”

As soon as his voice fell, everyone here began to discuss, even if there are factions on weekdays, but when it comes to such a life-and-death event as now, these people are also extraordinarily united.

Zhao Zhong, who was beside him, knew what he meant, and said: "In the past, Cao Jie was the master of such a major event, but now that you are Da Changqiu, we will naturally listen to you, as long as we can come up with a reliable method, we will definitely obey." ”

His gaze swept coldly over the people here, "If anyone dares to leak out, they will be cut off from the palace." ”

The crowd responded.

Zhang Rang glanced at everyone's expressions, and then spoke: "Why were we able to be prominent for a while in the past? It is nothing more than the trust of the Son of Heaven in us, but if the Son of Heaven is in the hands of the He family today, all you and I can do is to greet us in the morning and evening. ”

It turned out that Empress Dowager He was not unwary of these eunuchs, and although she seemed to trust them on weekdays, she rarely asked them to get close to the Son of Heaven. Now those who take care of the Son of Heaven on weekdays are more of the close attendants that Empress Dowager He has cultivated in the palace over the years.

Zhang Rang's words suddenly brought some cruelty, and said with a smile: "There is another thing, maybe you haven't heard of it now, He Jin has sent people to hunt down your relatives and mine in the counties." ”

He stood up and pressed the hilt of his sword at his waist, "How can the puppet put you and me in his eyes?" ”

Everyone was angry when they heard this, but they never doubted what Zhang Rang said, this kind of thing could be transmitted to Luoyang sooner or later, and Zhang Rang didn't need to lie about it.

Zhao Zhong said in a deep voice: "Da Changqiu said how to deal with it, we can't just die in the hands of him He Jin like this." ”

"How to deal with it?" Zhang Rang laughed, "It's nothing more than a tooth for a tooth, an eye for an eye." ”

"How can he have a high sword soldier, haven't we ever been able to do it!"

………………

In the Che Cavalry General's Mansion, He Miao looked at the messenger in the palace standing in front of him, and asked with a smile: "Didn't you just enter the palace a few days ago and saw the Queen Mother, why do you want to enter the palace today?" ’

"The reason for this is not clear to the slave or maid. I heard from the neighbors around the Queen Mother that the general and Da Changqiu are not on good terms these days, and the Queen Mother wants to mediate one or two from it, but she is afraid that she will not be able to convince the general, so she wants to invite the general to enter the palace together, so as to say a few good words for Da Changqiu. The little eunuch sneered.

He Miao nodded slightly, but he had no doubts about the words of this little eunuch.

First, Empress Dowager He had also sent this person several times before to deliver the news, and secondly, to mediate the contradictions between He Jin and the eunuchs, which was indeed something that their brothers and sisters had agreed on in private.

What Empress Dowager He is afraid of is that He Jin, the elder brother, is not controlled by eunuchs, and the power is tilted towards the government and the opposition, and one day he is not willing to just be a general again, and he is not even satisfied with being the next Huo Guang, but wants to be the next Wang Mang.

As for him He Miao, the reason why he went against He Jin was because he coveted the wealth that eunuchs often offered secretly, and secondly, he was naturally unwilling to be trampled under the feet of this half-brother.

"Okay, I already know the matter, and I'll enter the palace later." He Miao responded.

The palace people took their leave.

Fortunately, it was set to enter the palace at dusk, which would not delay his affairs, and he wanted to take his family to play outside the city today.

He called the butler in and instructed, "Prepare court clothes for me, and enter the palace when I return from outside the city."

The butler nodded yes.

It's just that He Miao didn't see this middle-aged man who had followed him since he entered Luoyang, with a playful smile on the corner of his mouth after answering.

………………

In the general's mansion, He Jin gathered his henchmen in the mansion and was discussing the matter of dealing with the eunuchs.

At this time, in addition to the Yuan brothers, there was also He Hao, who hurried into Luoyang.

"The general really shouldn't lead the general into Luoyang, now that the general is in power, it is easy to deal with the eunuchs, and it is difficult to copy it."

He Hao has always dared to speak out, although he is new to Luoyang, and he is not familiar with He Jin, but he still speaks bluntly about what he thinks.

Among the Yuan brothers, Yuan Shao has always been good friends with He Hao, and Yuan Shu has always been unfriendly with He Hao.

Yuan Shu stood aside and gloated, thinking that He Jin could pull He Hao out and cut him down.

And Yuan Shao looked up at He Hao.

He Jin couldn't be annoyed when he heard this, and said with a smile: "What Gong He said is also reasonable, but with me, I'm not afraid of any chaos from those foreign troops." Now Dong Zhuo doesn't dare to move forward? As for Ding Yuan, there is no need to worry. ”

At this time, someone entered from outside the door and walked forward, as if to get to He Jin's side.

He Jin waved his hand and said with a smile: "The people here are all their own people, to put it bluntly."

The cronies said that the Queen Mother invited him to the palace.

He Jin nodded, was silent for a moment, and responded: "If you want him to return to the Queen Mother, I will come then."

"General, it's an eventful time, and you still need to be careful about everything." He Hao said loudly.

He Jin nodded when he heard this, and said softly to his cronies: "Go to the Che Cai General's Mansion to inquire, and see if the Queen Mother has invited the Che Cai General."

The cronies left.

Seeing that He Hao was about to speak, He Jin waved his hand and said with a smile: "He Gong doesn't need to say much, now that we are hostile to the eunuchs, if we don't dare to enter the palace, wouldn't it be more realistic?" The Queen Mother was already hesitant, if she didn't enter the palace, she was afraid that she would be completely pushed to the side of the eunuchs. At that time, our thoughts of summoning foreign soldiers into the palace will be in vain. ”

When He Hao heard this, he also knew that what He Jin said was reasonable, and he couldn't persuade him again.

At this time, Yuan Shao, who had been silent on the side, stepped forward and said with a smile: "He Gong doesn't need to worry, I will escort the general into the palace with the Highway Association at that time."

He Hao could only nod.

He Jin said with a smile: "Now in Luoyang City, how much wind and waves can they stir up."

…………

In the afternoon, He Jin was dressed in court clothes, riding a horse in front, and then the Yuan brothers wore armor and stomachs, and followed him behind his horse with dozens of armored knights.

A group of people walked down the street, and people along the way got out of the way.

He Jin looked at Yuan Shu, who was walking safely behind him, and said with a smile: "In the past, the highway used to have the reputation of being a ghost on the road, but now it is a lot more stable."

Yuan Shu pulled the corners of his mouth when he heard this, "When I was young, I didn't understand current affairs, and I liked to fly eagles and horses, and now I can be regarded as waking up." ”

He Jin nodded, and didn't say much, his mind was now on entering the palace.

He could also guess why Empress Dowager He announced him to the palace, mostly for the sake of those eunuchs.

It was not once or twice that Empress Dowager He had advised him not to deal with eunuchs, but now that he had summoned foreign soldiers into Luoyang, he was a little relieved.

Now the relationship between the three of them is also very delicate, He Miao has a good relationship with the queen, but he, the elder brother, has a lot of estrangement from the two.

He sighed and said to Yuan Shao behind him: "Originally, I never thought that there would be such a quarrel between our brothers and sisters."

Yuan Shao smiled when he heard this, "Even if it is a small family, there are many contradictions in the family. Not to mention the general's house. ”

He Jin stopped saying nothing when he heard this, but just rode forward.

Soon after, the group came to the Qingsuo door, He Jin entered the palace alone, and the Yuan brothers guarded the door.

He Jinmai walked into the palace.

Yuan Shaoze stood outside the palace, looking at the guards in front of the city gate, and he always felt that today was a little different from the past, he frowned, thoughtful.

………………

He Jin walked on the road to the palace, thinking about something.

Now that Dong Zhuo and the others are not far away, as long as he gets rid of the eunuchs, he will bring Yu Wei and summon Dong Zhuo and others to Beijing alone, and they will not dare to disobey.

If they really don't comply, then send a large army to attack it.

Solve Dong Zhuo and these people, and then the family headed by the Yuan family can only obediently bow down to him.

He Jin is a little proud, he is a son of a butcher, first remove the official eunuch, and then subdue the family, and in one fell swoop, he can achieve the unsuccessful deeds of his predecessors.

When Liu Bei was in Luoyang that day, he had insinuated that the path he chose was wrong, and in the future, he would ask Liu Bei to see that what he chose was right.

While he was thinking about it, the eunuch who had guided him in front of him had already led him to the Hall of Virtue, where he had discussed in the past.

Emperor Ling loved this place the most during his lifetime.

He Jin glanced at it, there were some guards standing on both sides, but he didn't pay attention to it, and followed the eunuch step in.

It's just that he had just stepped into the temple when he suddenly heard a creaking sound behind him, and it turned out that the guards outside the door suddenly closed the temple door.

He Jin was stunned for a moment, and then reluctantly touched his waist, but he touched an emptiness, and then remembered that he had already taken away his blade when he entered the palace.

With his general He Da's prestige in the court now, it is naturally not a big deal to go to the palace with a sword, and no one may dare to stop him, but he thinks that today is a gathering of brothers and sisters in the family, so he is a little careless.

"General He, I haven't seen you for many days, but the general is becoming more and more powerful." Someone on the other side laughed, but there was a bit of coldness in the laughter.

He Jin looked up and saw Zhang Rang and others standing in columns on the opposite side, and most of the powerful eunuchs in the palace were gathered here.

"You can't rebel if you want to!" He Jin scolded coldly.

Zhang Rang said with a smile: "At the beginning, the He family came from Nanyang, if it wasn't for our help, how could they gain a firm foothold in the palace?" Now that your great general has gained power, you will destroy us. ”

"He Jin, let me ask you, you and the eunuchs are greedy, who are the civil and military people of the Manchu Dynasty and those who are loyal to the Qing Dynasty!"

He Jin was stunned when he heard this, and was about to argue.

Zhang Rang was already looking left and right, and Shang Fang Jian Qu Mu drew his sword and stabbed He Zhi.

He Jin got up after killing pigs and dogs, with some martial arts on his body, and turned around to avoid it.

Qu Mu couldn't take He Jin for a while.

Zhang Rang shouted, and the warriors in the palace shot together.

He Jin's two fists were invincible to four hands, and he soon hit several knives in a row and fell to the ground.

Zhang Rang smiled and said, "General, we are also here to live."

He Jin stared at Zhang Rang and the others, but he couldn't speak.

Qu Mu stepped forward and cut off He Jin's head.

In the Jiade Palace, Liu Hong was mourned first, and then He Jin was mourned.
