Chapter 34: Dilution

He Jin was in the palace of the Empress Dowager He, trying his best to appease his mother Wuyangjun, He Miao, his sister and other He family, and as soon as it was dawn, he hurried out of the palace.

When he went out of the palace gate, he saw that there were officials everywhere cleaning up the bloodstains, and one by one they were afraid of him like a tiger, and they all bowed their heads, not daring to breathe.

He Jin didn't squint, got into the carriage, sat straight, his face was like iron, and said in a deep voice: "Go home." ”

At this moment, every household opened the window, pushed the door open, and the conversation was all about last night.

All kinds of rumors are circulating rapidly.

"I heard that the general led his troops last night and exterminated all the eunuchs!"

"What is the extermination of the eunuch party, but the party is the same and the party is different, and the general is going to dominate the court!"

"The general's methods are really ...... Lie, I heard that more than 10,000 people died last night! ”

"It is said that more than 30 major clans have been exterminated, ranging from 10,000 to tens of thousands! Don't you see? There is no one on the street! ”

"Tens of thousands? This, this, how good is this......"

Even though He Jin was sitting in the carriage, the discussion in the market quickly reached his ears.

His face turned ugly, his eyes were angry, and his heart was surging with depression that he couldn't vent.

When he returned to the mansion, as soon as he entered the door, he saw a large group of people already waiting for him, all of them were guests of the General's Mansion, Chen Lin, Feng Ji, He Hao, Xun You, etc., all of whom looked at him nervously and fearfully.

He Jin paused, swept everyone with cold eyes, strode inside, and said in a low voice: "Kong Zhang comes with the old man!" ”

Everyone had a thousand words about last night's events, and seeing that He Jin didn't want to say more, they looked at Chen Lin again.

Chen Lin sighed in his heart, he wanted to leave yesterday, but he didn't leave, and now I'm afraid it will be even more difficult to go.

He ignored the gazes of the others, and followed He Jin all the way to the side room in the back hall.

He Jin untied his sword, knelt down at the small table, looked at Chen Lin, who was still standing not far away, and said in a deep voice: "Kong Zhang, sit down." ”

Chen Lin had been observing He Jin, and when he heard this, he knelt down and sat opposite He Jin.

He Jin lost the fierce and domineering look he had before, but his face was hesitant, as if he didn't know how to speak.

Chen Lin looked at him, and there was also a lot of confusion in his heart.

He Jin's personality is certainly strong and has a ruthless side, which is related to his background, but he still doesn't believe it when he slaughters more than 5,000 people overnight.

After a while, He Jin looked up at Chen Lin and said, "Kong Zhang, someone assassinated the old man last night, and the old man panicked and ordered the Yulin Army to arrest people according to the list. However, those people gathered to resist and killed officers and soldiers, and it was because of this that the matter became bigger. ”

Chen Lin listened to He Jin's words and knew that there was a reason in it, so he didn't rush to speak.

Seeing that Chen Lin didn't speak, He Jin furrowed his brows, untied his clothes again, and said irritably: "It's not yet May." ”

He picked up the teapot again, poured a big sip directly, and then didn't wipe his mouth, and said to Chen Lin: "Kong Zhang, last night, the Yulin army was red-eyed, and it was no longer under the control of the old man, and by the time the old man arrived, they had already killed too many people. ”

Chen Lin's expression changed slightly, and said, "Why didn't the general stop it and kill Xuan Fan and the hussar general?" ”

He Jin was depressed, looked at Chen Lin and stopped, and finally said with a deep face: "Don't hide it from Kong Zhang, the old man is indeed selfish!" Since it has reached that point, simply cut off the eunuchs completely! As for Dong Chong, the person who performed the assassination has the Dong family emblem. ”

From where Chen Lin entered these words, he felt that there was something wrong with last night's incident, which seemed logical, but it was too unreasonable.

He thought about it and said slowly: "Yuan Highway...... Is there no regulation? ”

He Jin said: "He is a general in the Tiger Ben, he can't control the Yulin Army, and the soldiers mobilized from everywhere are so miscellaneous that he can't control it." ”

Chen Lin's heart suddenly jumped, and if he was alert, his expression became cautious.

He Jin's words seemed to explain why he killed so many people, but he was not suspicious.

Chen Lin didn't want to get involved in He Jin's affairs anymore, but if he didn't say anything, He Jin wouldn't let him go, and said in a deep voice: "General, it seems that you are worried?" Is it the palace? ”

Most of He Jin's recent troubles came from the palace, and he nodded and said, "The Queen Mother and Your Majesty seem to be partial to the eunuchs......"

Chen Lin's heart is like a mirror, and the people and forces in the palace are not eunuchs, but people and forces that can check and balance He Jin.

This He Jin was still immersed in the ecstasy that his sister was the queen mother and his nephew was the emperor, and he didn't understand the change of his identity with the palace.

It can't all be blamed on He Jin, as the saying goes, a person gets the way and the chicken dog ascends to heaven, and the new majesty is He Jin's own uncle, according to common sense, the new emperor will be grateful and repay He Jin, and give He Jin an official and a knight, a very good minister.

Unexpectedly, the newly succeeded young emperor is not an ordinary person and does not follow common sense.

"I heard that Jian Shuo gave generous gifts to Wuyangjun, Che Cavalry General, etc., and often came and went." Chen Lin mentioned He Jin not once or twice, but this time he didn't want to care anymore.

He Jin's eyes widened, his expression was serious, and he said, "These old men know. What the old man wanted to ask Kong Zhang was what the old man should do next. ”

Chen Lin looked at He Jin and somewhat understood the purpose of this separate interview.

After killing so many people, He Jin was a little afraid, he needed a safe aftermath strategy!

Chen Lin sighed in his heart, thinking that he would leave today, so he simply helped for the last time and asked, "General, ...... in the palace?"

He Jin looked immobile and said, "There is no need to worry in the palace, the Queen Mother is my compatriot and sister." ”

Chen Lin thought about it, what is the Empress Dowager, and His Majesty the young man will not move He Jin for the time being, thought for a while, and said: "General, what we have to do now is to do four things: First, in addition to the holy decree to clearly show the fault of the eunuch party, we must find a way to make the government and the opposition hate the eunuch party even more and understand the general's exploits. Second, contact the courtiers, work together, quickly finalize the case, and get through the matter. Third, if there is a living mouth for those who have been exterminated, they should be appeased. Finally, reassure the hearts of the people and let His Majesty hold the enthronement ceremony as soon as possible. ”

He Jin stood up when he heard this, his face that had been stiff stretched, and said, "It's still Kong Zhang's heart that wins the heart of the old man!" ”

The first three, He Jin thought that they were all 'reluctant', but the 'last' one surprised him.

The new emperor's enthronement ceremony is a top priority, which can dilute everything!

However, his eyes were cold and he said, "Before that, the old man has one more thing to do." ”

Chen Lin got up and said, "What is the general going to do?" ”

He Jin turned to smile and said, "Kong Zhang, the old man said before that the official position in Beijing is up to you, can you do it?" ”

Chen Lin paused, and then sighed with a sad expression, and said: "Thanks to the general's wrong love, I wanted to make a career in Beijing, but the day before yesterday, I received a letter from home, my mother has been sick for many days, I really can't rest assured, and I want to go back to my hometown to serve my mother." ”

He Jin looked at Chen Lin and suspected that Chen Lin was scared and wanted to run.

He was reluctant to let Chen Lin go, but Chen Lin had just helped him a lot, and it was a reason like 'maid', which really made him unable to stay.

After a long time, He Jin said in a deep voice: "This is human nature. The old man asked the house to prepare enough money and sent someone to escort Kong Zhang back to his hometown. ”

Chen Lin can accept 'prepare enough money', but he can't accept sending people, so he hurriedly said: "The general is in a military emergency, but Lin can't follow the way, he is already guilty, how can he dare to work anymore." Lin has packed up the soft and left at noon, please take care of the general. ”

He Jin didn't expect Chen Lin to leave in such a hurry, and he was a little reluctant in his heart, so he still said: "Then, Kong Zhang takes care all the way, if you are healthy and healthy, please come to Beijing to help me quickly." ”

"Thank you for your kindness, General!" Chen Lin raised his hand and bowed deeply, feeling relieved, he was really worried that He Jin would not let him go.
