Chapter 336 Zhang Rang and He Jin's Enmity and Resentment

What the Yuan family wanted was very simple at first. They just wanted to become the first family in the Han Dynasty.

By the time of Yuan Shao, the Yuan family had reached the level of four generations and three nobles, and it could be said that their disciples and former officials were spread all over the world.

The glory of the Yuan family could be said to be unparalleled for a moment.

However, the ambitions of the Yuan family have become more and more enlarged as the Yuan family has grown.

They don't seem to be satisfied with the looks of the four generations and three men, they want the four men of one family.

Originally, such a thing was unbelievable and impossible to say. But as Emperor Ling became seriously ill, Yuan Feng and others saw hope.

The Ling Emperor passed away, and the emperor's position was high. The general and the ten permanent attendants had already been at loggerheads for the emperor's position.

The reason is also very simple. General He Jin naturally supports his own sister's son, Liu Bian.

Only after Liu Bian ascends the throne can He Jin keep his position as general and the He family can still be royal relatives.

However, this impressed Shi Changshi's interests.

The Ten Constant Attendants were originally just chamberlains and eunuchs. Logically speaking, their biggest support was Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty.

Once Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty died, they would naturally be left out in the cold by the new emperor. They had been prepared for all this.

Although Zhang Rang and the others are eunuchs, they are also human beings and they also have their own selfish motives.

Therefore, Zhang asked them to always support Liu Xie's rise to power.

Because Liu Bian was the nephew of General He Jin, when he came to the throne, he would naturally rely on He Jin.

Liu Xie's mother's clan, on the other hand, was a small family and had no influence above the court.

This made it convenient for Zhang to let them control Liu Xie.

In addition, Liu Xie has been smart and smart since he was a child, and he has the demeanor of a wise king.

Although Zhang asked them to control the imperial court, this also needed to be based on the existence of the Han Dynasty.

In other words, when Liu Bian succeeds to the throne, it is the power of the family that controls the situation. When the time comes, there is no telling whether the family will let their servants go.

Just say that if the emperor of the Han Dynasty is controlled by a noble family, he will definitely become a puppet, and there may even be cases where Wang Mang usurps the Han Dynasty.

As for those who support Liu Xie, they may be killed by Liu Xie in the future.

But that was many years later, and they still had a chance to make amends.

The worst case scenario is that when the time comes, seeing that Liu Xie can no longer control himself, he and his gang will take the initiative to resign and go home to become rich men.

They believed that with Liu Xie's intelligence, they could definitely see how much trouble it would save him if he took the initiative to resign.

Liu Xie wouldn't be able to kill them all just because he was always focused on this matter.

It can be said that if Liu Xie came to power, Zhang Rang and others would not have their lives threatened, and they could even make a fortune during the years Liu Xie grew up.

If it is Liu Bian, then today next year will be the memorial day for people like him.

Any fool knows how to choose.

Moreover, Liu Xie's own talents are stronger than Liu Bian. If Liu Xie succeeds to the throne, the Han Dynasty can continue and even usher in a renaissance.

Then, when the time comes, we and others will take the initiative to give in and return the power to Liu Xie, saying that they will not be able to leave a mark in the history books.

On the other hand, Liu Bian and Zhang Rang were able to predict the future of the Han Dynasty. At best, it would be in the last years of the Han Dynasty, and at worst, there would be another change like Wang Mang's.

Having been Han Chinese all their lives, Zhang Rang and the others also have a certain bottom line. At least they don't want to change dynasties before they die.

Therefore, it was impossible for Zhang Rang and the others to support Liu Bian in both public and private matters.

As a result, the conflict between General He Jin, Zhang Rang and others deepened again.

Yuan Feng and the others saw this clearly and felt that their Yuan family could make a difference in this matter.

In order to smoothly control the situation in the court, the Yuan family also did a lot of things here.

First of all, they supported Liu Bian, a prince who was close to the aristocratic family, but they looked down on He Jin.

To put it bluntly, Yuan Feng and the others felt that He Jin was not from a wealthy family, but could only be regarded as a nouveau riche who came to power by relying on his sister.

How could a family that grew up overnight be compared to a family like theirs that had grown up after several generations of hard work?

Therefore, the essence is that Yuan Feng and others look down on He Jin, but they cannot leave He Jin, and then want to replace He Jin.

As for He Jin himself, to be honest, he doesn't have any great abilities and is really just a loser.

He Jin himself cannot see through the current situation. He feels that the current situation is already quite critical.

Then he followed Yuan Shao's suggestion and summoned all the governors in the world to lead their troops to the capital, hoping to use the general trend of the world to suppress Zhang Rang.

During this period, Boss Cao, who was just a captain at the time, saw clearly. He gave He Jin advice, saying that he should let the eunuchs go home, and then they only need to take the Queen Mother and the new emperor out of the palace, and let them go.

Send Luoyang's government officials to capture him.

There is no need for the governors from various places to lead troops to Beijing. Otherwise, if something unexpected happens, the court will have no way to suppress these governors.

The advice is good advice. If He Jin listens to Boss Cao, then there will be nothing wrong with Fatty Dong later.

But at this time, He Jin had already fallen into the pie that Yuan Shao had drawn for him.

He felt that by letting the prefect lead the troops to the capital, on the one hand, he could suppress Zhang Rang without losing any blood, and on the other hand, he could let everyone in the world see the power of He Jin.

Therefore, He Jin decisively rejected Boss Cao's suggestion and instead followed Yuan Shao's suggestion.

Yuan Shao saw that He Jin had really sent people to mobilize troops, so he turned around and revealed the news to Zhang Rang.

Zhang Rang and the others naturally did not want to sit still and wait for death, so they planned to strike first.

Zhang Rang took a group of Ling Emperor's confidants and ran to the Empress Dowager He to cry and complain that he and others had made a mistake. He hoped that the Empress Dowager He could bring a message to He Jin, saying that he and the others were willing to admit their mistakes to He Jin face to face.

Empress Dowager He felt soft-hearted and saw Zhang Rang and others crying sadly, so she agreed to send someone to invite He Jin.

Seeing that it was his sister who invited him, He Jin didn't doubt his presence, so he planned to enter the palace alone.

At this time, Boss Cao also saw the plans of Zhang Rang and others, and he advised He Jin not to enter the palace.

But He Jin didn't listen at all. He felt that his sister would not cheat him, and Yuan Shao was encouraging him, so He Jin once again rejected Boss Cao's suggestion.

The result was that as soon as He Jin entered the palace, his head was thrown out the next moment.

He Jin died unexpectedly, which was quite unexpected for Boss Cao and Yuan Shao.

They didn't expect that Zhang asked them to attack so harshly. He opened fire as soon as possible and killed He Jin directly.

Everyone knew what happened next. After losing control of He Jin and thinking of revenge for He Jin, Cao Cao, Yuan Shao and others immediately led people to attack the palace.
