April 189
The imperial capital Luoyang was in a bleak state, with people closing their doors and businesses closing their markets.
The civil and military officials in the front hall of Changle Palace were dressed in plain clothes and kneeled in unison: "Long live my emperor, long live my life."
Emperor Xiaoling of Han Dynasty was buried in the sky. The prince, who was only seventeen years old, ascended the throne and honored Empress He as the Empress Dowager. The empress dowager was admitted to the court. The world was amnesty and the reign of Guangxi was changed.
"All my beloved ministers are peaceful, I am lonely, oh, I am still young and do not understand national affairs. If you have any questions, you can submit the memorial to the Queen Mother, and the Queen Mother will decide. The General and the Grand Tutor will assist in the government. I will retreat to the court."
All officials lowered their heads and closed their eyes with a look of regret. The emperor, who sat high on the throne and crown and dragon robe, not only did he not have any courage, but he was also smiling at this time. He did not care about such national affairs in the court. He probably had already flown to the ** to enjoy himself.
After the emperor left in a hurry without any grace, all the officials stood there without moving.
General He Jin, the leader of civil and military affairs, and the Grand Tutor Yuan Wei, turned around and looked at each other.
He Jin smiled and reached out to signal, "Master Taifu, please."
"It's better for you to ask for it first, General." Yuan Wei lowered his head and looked humble. He was at least ten years older than General He Jin.
The officials who bowed their heads silently had no expression on their faces, but they knew better than anyone else in their hearts who was the court today.
During the Emperor Ling's funeral, He Jin, Yuan Wei, Zhang Rang, and He Queen had a secret discussion. The result of this secret discussion was that General He Jin and Grand Tutor Yuan Wei participated in the record of the Shangshu. The general and Grand Tutor could already directly decide on political affairs in the court. This was the real power.
General He Jin was willing to ask the Grand Tutor Yuan Wei to participate in the Shangshuo together with him, but the price was that the geniuses supported the General. The ten generals were instantly lonely and weak, and finally had to compromise. Jian Shuo, as the orphan of Emperor Ling, supported the loyal and loyal son of the prince. He was stripped of military power and handed over to the position of military lieutenant of the Xiyuan Army, and was then thrown into the prison and died tragically that night.
Although the court was peaceful and peaceful when the prince debated ascended the throne, there was a quiet and peaceful look in the court, undercurrents were surging below and murderous intent was everywhere.
General He Jin was powerful but still had a rush to control the inside and outside the palace, so he made several attacks to uproot the Ten Constables.
Empress Dowager He was regent when he was in charge of the regent of the court. He knew very well that once the ten eunuchs were eliminated, He Jin's next step would be to undermine the empress dowager and put the emperor on the shelf. Then, no one dared to say what He Jin would do at that time.
So Empress Dowager He blocked He Jin's plan to eliminate the Ten General Secrets, and the treacherous struggle for power in the court began again.
More than three months after the prince debated ascending the throne, General He Jin returned to his mansion with a gloomy expression after a court meeting, and sent someone to summon Yuan Shao and Cao Cao into the secret room in the mansion.
"Ah, a foolish and stupid woman, know what national affairs are!"
Bang
The burly and vigorous He Jin crushed the teacup in his hand, his eyes as cold as an iceberg.
This scene happened to be seen by Cao Cao and Yuan Shao who were walking into the room. He Jin clapped his hands as if nothing had happened, wiped the teacup clean, and reached out to signal the two to take their seats.
After telling the two of them that they had been blocked by Empress Dowager He for several days, He Jin closed his eyes and asked, "For the sake of the current plan, what are the clever plans for you?"
Yuan Shao, who looked calm, picked up the tea and tasted it tepidly. He raised his eyes slightly and glanced at Cao Cao beside him.
Cao Cao raised his chest and bowed to He Jin, "General, there are only a few thieves in the palace, and the general only needs to send a thousand generals to lead a thousand people into the palace to capture the eunuch."
This method sounds very simple, but He Jin still closed his eyes and frowned slightly.
Yuan Shao put down the teacup, and his handsome face had a faint smile, and he whispered: "Meng De's plan is inappropriate. If the general sends generals to lead the army into the palace, what would the people in the world think? This is a rebellion! This is a force to the palace! After the eunuch party was killed, the general will become the target of public criticism, and he may not be able to protect himself."
Yuan Shao's words made He Jin nodded involuntarily. Now he is powerful and must take into account his fame. If he is careless, he will become a public enemy in the world and will ruin his reputation and die without a place to bury him.
"What do you think in the first place?" He Jin asked lightly.
General Yuan Shao's smile was calm, his eyes were dull, and he said in a deep voice: "The general thought that the general could summon Ding Yuan, the governor of Bingzhou, and use Ding Yuan's hand to eliminate the ten regular servants in one fell swoop."
As soon as this said, He Jin was still thinking deeply, but Cao Cao was shocked and blurted out: "Yuan Shao! Ding Yuan has an army of 80,000 in Bingzhou! Now he stations 50,000 troops in Henei! If he raises 130,000 troops to the imperial city, even if he kills the eunuch party, if Ding Yuan does not obey the order and controls the imperial capital, the Xiyuan army will not be able to stop Ding Yuan and his commander Lu Bu!"
He Jin also had some concerns about this. He sighed: "That's true. Although Ding Yuan is my confidant, his army rushed straight into Luoyang. If he did not obey the order, he might cause trouble."
Upon hearing this, Yuan Shao bowed to He Jin with a serious expression, ignoring Cao Cao's anxious expression.
"General, if Ding Yuan comes to Luoyang to kill the ten regular attendants, he will become a thorn in the eyes of the gentry and the queen mother. At that time, he will definitely be dissatisfied and become a disaster. However, the general can invite Dong Zhuo of Xiliang to come and suppress Ding Yuan. The two of them will restrain each other. The general can reap the benefits of the fisherman. After the eunuch party is destroyed, if these two people do not obey the order, they can provoke them and let them fight each other. The Xiyuan Army in the hands of the general can control the situation at the right time. In this way, the general not only eliminates the eunuch party, but also has the merit of quelling the rebellion. Who else in the world does not obey the general?"
He suddenly opened his eyes, and He Jin looked excited, obviously moved, and showed a smug smile.
Seeing He Jin's expression, Cao Cao's heart was as if he fell into an ice cellar. Chen Ci sincerely advised: "General! Ding Yuan is a wolf, Dong Zhuo is a tiger, lead the wolf into the house first, and drive the tiger to swallow the wolf. If the two cannot distinguish between the superiors, what should the general be in the middle? The two join forces and the imperial capital falls. If the two fight, if they cannot lose both, how can the general's Xiyuan Army reap profits? General, after Cao Cao's words, the disaster of eunuchs has occurred in ancient and modern times. As long as the emperor is wise, the eunuchs can be eliminated in an instant. But Dong Zhuo and Ding Yuan are both local warlords with heavy troops. If they have the intention of being disobedient, the disaster will be ten times more 100 times more 100 times more 100 times more 20 times more than eunuchs!"
He Jin had made up his mind to summon Ding Yuan and Dong Zhuo to Luoyang. It was not that he couldn't listen to Cao Cao's words, but that he believed that Cao Cao was a talented person who led troops to fight, but that Yuan Shao, who was born in the four generations and three kings, had more vision. Moreover, He Jin was also muttering in his heart: The emperor was wise? If the emperor was wise, the first thing he could do was to take the brunt of his power.
"I have decided, and I immediately issued a secret order to summon Dingyuan, Bingzhou and Dong Zhuo from Xiliang to lead his army to Luoyang."
Hearing He Jin's words, Cao Cao was dumbfounded, smashed the case in front of him with a punch, and said angrily: "General! You are causing trouble in the world!"
"Cao Aman, you are arrogant! Get out of here!" He Jin glared, and tea splashed all over him on the table. After saying that, he lowered his head and began to wipe his clothes.
Yuan Shao next to him was always indifferent and looked down on his head.
Cao Cao stood up and left the seat, and walked out of the General's Mansion in a daze. In the midsummer, he was cold all over.
He Jin, the butcher without any plans! Yuan Shao, short-sighted!
Cao Cao, who returned to his house, kept muttering to himself.
Yuan Shao, who stayed in the General's Mansion until late at night, walked towards the Grand Tutor Yuan Wei's Mansion with a brisk step.
The moonlight was as clear as before, and Yuan Shao found that the moonlight today was particularly pleasant in the hazy place, so he stopped and looked up at the lonely moon in the sky.
He said to himself: "Dong Zhongying, Ding Jianyang, don't let me down."
On the way to the Taifu Mansion, Yuan Shao foresaw the future scenes in his mind.
Golden swords and iron horses, blood spreading over the palace walls, the Han Dynasty collapsed, and the heroes of the world took advantage of the situation...
Just half a month after the general issued a secret order to summon Dong Zhuo and Ding Yuan into Luoyang, he saw that Ding Yuan and Dong Zhuo were about to arrive at the foot of the imperial city the next day, but he did not expect that General He Jin was killed on the spot by the Ten Generals in the Palace for his rebellion spread throughout Luoyang.
He Jin! The general who is in charge of the world's troops!
The three armies were shocked!
After hearing the news, Yuan Shao immediately led the Xiyuan Army, Yuan Shu led the Hu Ben Army, and two people led the Yuan family's youth generation to lead the army straight into the palace. When he saw a man without a beard, he killed him on the spot!
The sound of killing in the palace was shocking the sky, and people who fled in all directions were everywhere. Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu led their troops out of the palace to hunt and kill, and they were unwilling to let go of any fish that exposed the net, so many young people were killed by mistake. So if the eunuchs on the streets of Luoyang had not yet had a beard, they would untie the belt when they saw the soldiers coming, and took off their pants to find out their true colors.
The imperial capital was in chaos, and in order to protect themselves, the eunuchs held the emperor hostage and King Chenliu Liu Xie and escaped from Luoyang.
On the road to the west of Luoyang City, Beimang Mountain can be seen at the very sight. The lush color makes people feel relaxed. However, a group of people came to see the beautiful scenery, and they only ran away in a hurry. You can even hear the sound of crying.
"Your Majesty, your Majesty, stop crying."
The eunuchs were helpless. The seventeen-year-old emperor cried loudly all the way and clamored for his mother. It was unbelievable and helpless.
Liu Bian, who had just become the emperor for four months, couldn't run away, so he refused to leave, showing off the emperor's majesty, and pointed at the eunuch while crying, "Who can you bastards do not kill my uncle? My uncle has so many soldiers under him. Now I want to kill you, so you can let them kill me and take me out to suffer. I won't leave, I want to leave, I want to go back to the palace to find the queen mother, wuwu... mother..."
Liu Xie, who had always looked indifferent, sighed to the sky: Why is he the eldest, I am the young? Why is his mother the queen? Why is his uncle a general? I am lonely, I am not convinced. When will you appear to bless the Han Dynasty?
Suddenly, dust flew away in the distance, the sound of horse hooves gradually rose, and a team of cavalry rushed towards him.
The eunuchs were so scared that they were only King Chenliu Liu Xie waiting quietly.
call
The cavalry stopped and rolled up a wave of dust and rushed towards Liu Xie and the others. Liu Bian, who was crying and cursing, ate a cry, coughed a few times and continued to cry, and continued to scold.
The person who came was burly and fierce, with a resolute expression, looking down at Liu Xie and others. He immediately got off his horse and knelt down in front of Liu Bian wearing a crown and said, "Greetings to your Majesty, I will be ordered to come."
Liu Xie's pupils shrank slightly, and he looked at the heroic general in front of him, and his heart suddenly rekindled.
