Chapter Fifty-Eight: A Sharp Turn

The loss of Shou Hulu for no reason is directly involved in only ten people, and there are more than 1,000 related people, not only the eunuchs of their cronies, but even the concubines and palace maids are implicated, among which the number of Su Wei forbidden army is the largest.

Emperor Liu Hong of the Han Dynasty took the opportunity to purge the forbidden army, demoted several generals suspected of being bribed by foreign ministers, and put them in prison, and replaced the vacant positions with eunuchs.

A small red pill, the cascading effect caused by it is extremely far-reaching, it is almost made an iron case, and the forces of the government and the opposition do not dare to move, for fear of being caught by the angry emperor, and watching the eunuch sit big.

However, after Emperor Liu Hong of the Han Dynasty lost his longevity gourd, he had no vitality to replenish, and his body that was indulged in pleasure deteriorated, and the Red Pill case seemed to be the last time in his life, and he never took any action again.

It didn't take long for Emperor Liu Hong of the Han Dynasty to feel a cold, a high fever that did not go away, and he took the medicine prescribed by the imperial doctor, but he could not eradicate it, and he suddenly became ill and could no longer preside over the overall situation.

When he was dying, Emperor Liu Hong of the Han Dynasty entrusted his heir, the prince Liu Xie, to his particularly trusted eunuch, the captain of the Xiyuan New Army.

After learning about this, Ye Zhiqiu sighed: "The trajectory of history is really mysterious and magical, even if it deviates slightly, it will be corrected by the inexplicable law and return to its original position." However, it can change reality, but it can't change my determination, even if I am broken, I will protect everything now. ”

On July 11, Emperor Liu Hong of the Han Dynasty died in the Jiade Hall of Nangong, only 33 years old, nicknamed Emperor Xiaoling, and his eldest son Liu Wei ascended the throne with the support of his uncle He Jin and the ministers, and was the Emperor Shao of the Han Dynasty.

Because the new emperor was still young, the power was in the hands of his mother Empress Dowager He and his maternal uncle General He Jin, and the power of the foreign relatives group rose sharply. At the instigation of Wenchen, the general He Jinquan was full of ambition, and the rift with the eunuchs of the inner court continued to expand, and the atmosphere of the Luoyang court took a sharp turn for the worse.

Jian Shuo, the captain of the military academy, originally wanted to help Liu Xie succeed to the throne, but unfortunately under the joint efforts of his relatives and ministers, he was unfortunately defeated. Only then did he know that his strength was insufficient, so he put away his minions and chose to hide and lurk.

It's a pity that he is in charge of half of the Xiyuan New Army, which is really a solid barrier to the imperial power, and naturally has become a thorn in the side of some people.

So, a certain son-in-law of the fourth and third princes of the gate valve family secretly instigated the general He Jin to kill Jian Shuo, so as to cut off one of the arms of the eunuch group. The butcher-born general was stubborn and self-serving, and he couldn't listen to the advice of his staff and strategists at all, and even the Taoist Shi Ziyi, who was close to the He family, was useless to persuade him personally.

Under the tacit cooperation of all parties, especially in the cold bystanders of the eunuch group in the inner hall, Jian Shuo, the captain of the upper military academy, was ensnared and killed by the general He Jin to make the Huangmen Order, and the new army under his name was led by He Jin, and was later taken away by Guo Sheng, the regular servant of the middle office.

Ye Zhiqiu, who learned of this, sighed at the methods of the gate valve, and the civil officials themselves did not come forward, instigating relatives and eunuchs to fight, consuming the residual energy of the Han family, taking advantage of the new emperor's accession to the throne and ignorance, secretly strengthening his own strength. The only thing to be thankful for is that the eunuchs of the inner court certainly have internal contradictions to assist, but after eradicating dissidents, they cling to military power.

"It is true that the political group, which has been fighting with the civilian government for many years and has been holding on to each other, knows that the role of the military is extremely crucial, so it will not miss any opportunity that can be exploited. In my opinion, either someone who is one of the ten permanent servants is a visionary, or someone who has the guidance of a master. ”

Taking advantage of the opportunity to kill the captain of the military academy, a certain son-in-law who was "resourceful and decisive" persuaded the general He Jintong to lead the elite soldiers into the palace, and completed his work in one battle.

He Jin also had such a plan, but the reprimand and handwritten letter from the Empress Dowager He in the palace dispelled his delusions, and then the ten permanent servants had most of the forbidden army in their hands, if the fire rose together, it was difficult to say who would win and who would lose. The situation is deadlocked!

In fact, when the young emperor ascended the throne and killed Jian Shuo, the group of relatives and the group of eunuchs in the inner court had reached a certain balance, and someone's advice was really harboring evil intentions.

The general He Jin had to retreat in the face of the overall situation, even if he held great power, he did not dare to disobey the source of power, Empress Dowager He. However, the spokesperson elected by the civil official gate valve had the ambition of smashing everything in his heart and ignoring the overall situation, and secretly summoned Haojie to lead troops into Beijing in the name of the general He Jin. Later, he falsely passed on the order of the general He Jin and wrote letters to various states and counties to arrest the families of eunuchs in various places.

Under the "step-by-step pressure" of the general He Jin, or the manipulation of Yuan Shao, the eunuch group of the inner court who was cornered immediately launched a counterattack.

In September, the eunuch entered the palace in the name of the Empress Dowager He. He Jin did not doubt that he had him, and entered the palace with a song of elite soldiers, but before he saw the Empress Dowager He, he was surrounded and killed by the forbidden army in ambush in the palace.

The brave Shang Fang Jian Qu Mu, who held a sword and killed He Jin outside the Jiade Palace, heard the news of the Ministry of Rites Shangshu Lu Zhi and other important ministers, and immediately opened his mouth to ask, but there was a clear-faced Zhonghuangmen, throwing the general's head at Lu Zhi's feet.

"He Jin has rebelled, and he has been ambushed! The rest of the coercion and obedience have all been forgiven. ”

Yuan Shao led the new army of Xiyuan to arrive, and when he saw the head of the great general He Jin, he was secretly happy in his heart, but he shouted sharply: "The eunuch dares to murder the minister!

Wu Kuang, the general's general, immediately led He Jin's personal guards to set fire to the palace gate, and Yuan Shao immediately ordered his subordinates to attack the palace. Lu Zhi and other important ministers opened their mouths to scold, but they were pushed by the sergeants and left in a crowd, and they couldn't do anything at all.

Later, Yuan Shu, the eldest son of the Yuan family of the fourth and third princes, also led his subordinates to help in the battle, bringing siege equipment such as ladders and rams, which were obviously prepared for a long time.

The Ten Standing Servants did not expect that the final showdown would come so quickly, but fortunately, the new army led by the captain Jian Shuo of the military academy was mastered by them, and the purged forbidden army was extremely loyal, and fought bravely to kill the enemy under the righteousness of defending the Han family, so that the army of the two Yuan brothers did not enter the palace.

However, in order to be safe, the ten permanent servants Duan Jue, Cao Jie, and Hou Lan escorted the young emperor and Chen Liuwang into the North Palace through the secret passage. Empress Dowager He is not chaotic in the face of danger, on the one hand, she closes the palace door to protect herself, and on the other hand, she invites the debutant Shi Zimiao.

Shi Zimiao is not only equipped with Taoism, but also has extraordinary martial arts cultivation, six of the eight doors of the interior scene have been opened, and the spirit of wolf smoke rises to the sky, and the morale of the guards is suddenly greatly boosted, and they have repeatedly repelled the new army of Xiyuan led by the Yuan brothers.

It's a pity that the palace guards were infiltrated by Wenchen, and after several cleanings, there were still a small number of remnants, and at the critical moment, they immediately turned back, opened the palace gate, and let the outside army enter.

At this moment, Ye Zhiqiu, who was lurking in Luoyang City in advance, saw that the heavenly pillar of the Han Palace was damaged by his superficial qi technique, the dragon qi broke a claw, the scales were peeled off, and he was covered in blood, and the power of the law and prohibition was becoming more and more loose, and he couldn't help grinning, his face revealed a trace of hideousness that is difficult to describe in words.

"Let's go, let's go and help the big man!"

The praying mantis catches the cicada, and the yellow finch is behind!Ye Zhiqiu led the Five Poison Dao soldiers who had been training for a long time into the field, and when all the Qi Refiners outside the Fang did not react, they marched towards the place where the Dragon Qi Law Forbidden Hub was located.

Ahead is a dangerous situation of nine deaths and a lifetime, the slightest carelessness is the end of broken bones, and it is also a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, if he is lucky to succeed, Ye Zhiqiu is convinced that his Taoism will be refined to a very terrifying level.

In the Han Palace, the raging flames began to spread, and the important ministers who were forced to retreat by the rebels stood in the distance, their faces cloudy. On the contrary, the people of Luoyang, who heard the news, spontaneously drew water to fight the fire, and even if they were driven away by the rebels, they had to protect the sacred and inviolable Han in their hearts.

"Those who attack the palace are all thieves!

The two teams of sergeants in vibrating armor responded in unison, speeding up their pace and rushing over. The rebels who attacked the palace did not know why, and shouted from afar. The leader of this armor team is Ye Zhiqiu, and the subordinates behind him are the Five Poison Dao soldiers who have been trained into an army.

Seeing the people blocking the way in front of him, Ye Zhiqiu immediately took out the ghost head devouring fire thick back knife, and the power of a bull broke through the air, and performed the battlefield knife technique of entering the house, walking ten steps in a row, killing ten people in a row, and leading the team to approach the palace gate.

"The power of the forbidden law is loosening more and more. Hey, my Worm Path Sword Technique seems to be usable. ”

Most of the new army under the Yuan brothers entered the palace and fought against the forbidden army led by the eunuchs, leaving only a few personal guards. Unexpectedly, there are still people wading into troubled waters at this time.

Yuan Shao was the most proud time in his life at this time, watching the Han family four hundred years of the world will end in his own hands, his heart is indescribably happy, if it were not for the presence of Yuan Shu, the eldest son of the Yuan family, he would definitely laugh wildly.

At this time, hearing the sound of fighting behind him, he couldn't help but turn his head and saw a group of strange soldiers, waving the huge banner of "Liu", he sighed in his heart and hurriedly opened his mouth.

Where would Ye Zhiqiu take care of the Gate Lords clan, take out the Big Dipper Seven Killing Sword that will die at the sight of blood, and throw it with all his might. As soon as the magic sword was taken out of his hand, it was like an arrow off the string, turning into a streamer and shooting towards Yuan Shao.

The biggest conspirator in the late Eastern Han Dynasty, the chief spokesperson elected by the gate valve, the resourceful and decisive Yuan Shao Yuan Benchu, was standing at the pinnacle of his life, watching the sword of the ambush general break through the air, feeling the imminent death, and couldn't help but be stunned on the spot.

"I ...... I'm going to die!"
