Chapter 41: White-headed Han court swordsman (continued)
In the sixth year of Zhongping, or the first year of Guangxi, on May 24th, just as the sun turned west, Zhang Rang received a message from He Miao.
After hearing the message, the attendants gathered in Zhang Rang's mansion were almost in despair...of course they would be in despair. In fact, as early as Ding Yuan burned Meng Jin, Dong Zhuo wrote a letter to punish the eunuchs, and the Queen Mother He drove them back.
After returning home, these people have become desperate and regretful.
Looking back now, the last thing they should do is betray Jian Shuo. Jian Shuo's military power is actually their biggest reliance.
However, in desperation, these people also made other preparations. In fact, as early as the day Gongsun Xun's memorial announcing his victory arrived in Luoyang, these people began to reconnect. Because at that time, Zhang Rang and others had already reacted.
The compromise is destined to be meaningless.
After all, once Gongsun Xun, an unreasonable man, leads his troops south, no one can protect them, not even He Jin.
Therefore, we must resist.
And Yuan Shao's harm to his family this time only forced them to further make up their minds... If they didn't resist desperately, not only would their lives be at risk, but their families would also be implicated. So what's there to worry about?
On the afternoon of May 24th, Zhang Rang left the secret room and went to the side courtyard to visit his daughter-in-law He. She was the same father and sister as He Jin, the same mother and sister as He Miao, and the same father and mother as the Queen Mother He.
sister.
As soon as he saw the He family, Zhang Rang, as the father-in-law, knelt down and kowtowed. He had only one request, that is, to invite his daughter-in-law to see the Queen Mother He, and to allow them, such as regular servants, to enter the palace through the Huangmen and serve the Queen Mother.
, the new emperor had two days, because they knew that they were "not worthy of the general", so they prepared to return home.
How had He ever seen such a battle? He agreed almost immediately and entered the palace immediately.
On the evening of May 24th, all the regular attendants returned to the palace from Huangmen.
At the same time, He Jin finally figured out the current situation after being reminded by He Yong, Feng Ji and others.
On the morning of May 25th, He Jin met Wang Kuang, one of the recruiting leaders he sent out. The latter recruited thousands of soldiers and stationed them twenty miles outside the city. He himself led hundreds of elites among them and entered directly.
Arrive in Luozhong.
The appearance of this person made He Suigao overjoyed.
On May 25th, at noon, He Jin received an order from the Queen Mother, asking him to go to the Jiade Hall to discuss matters. However, He Suigao, who had just learned of the arrival of his troops, did not take it seriously and went straight to the Jiade Hall in the Nangong Palace.
One more thing to say here is that the Jiade Hall is the main hall of the Nangong. It is the place where the emperor works and rests daily. It is also the place where the imperial meetings are held. It is very close to the Chancellery. The Nangong was renovated after the fire that day, and it is indeed magnificent.
However, even if he went to the Jiade Hall in Nangong, even though the leader of the Nangong Tiger Ben Army was now Yuan Shu, He Jin was still prepared. He greeted Yuan Shu in advance, and also went to the Shangshu Desk and greeted the ministers there.
The guards and other ministers then walked to the Jiade Hall in a hurry.
In the afternoon, the brother and sister met in the palace, and the result was the same as before. He asked his brother to let the Shi Changshi go, while He Jin asked his sister not to defend these people anymore... It's just that today they just had more troops in hand, and yesterday they
Because of this, He Miao broke up with each other. He Jin's back was extremely straight, and his words were also rushed.
In his words, he wanted to kill the ten regular servants!
The brother and sister broke up unhappy, but He Jin did not leave the palace. Instead, he went to the minister's desk and discussed political affairs with the ministers until evening before he prepared to leave the palace.
"General!" Gongsun Yue came to the chancellor's desk with a document in hand, but he bumped into He Jin who was about to leave the palace.
"Wen Chao hasn't been to my house for a long time!" He Jin naturally smiled when he saw Gongsun Yue. "How about it? Do you have free time today?"
"The General's invitation, Yue Yue naturally did not dare to refuse." Gongsun Yue immediately chuckled and replied, "I will definitely bother you in the evening."
He Suigao laughed more and more when he heard this, holding the instrument knife on his waist: "In one month, everything will be settled, your brother will also come to Luozhong, we can relax and get together at any time. But now, after working hard for days, I want to drink
I don’t dare to indulge in even a glass of wine.”
Gongsun Yue couldn't help laughing.
"I won't delay your work." Seeing this, He Jin raised his knife and walked away. "Don't forget to come over tonight."
Gongsun Yue bowed to see him off.
Seeing He Jin was about to turn around, the Huangmen Minister's heart moved. He suddenly remembered something and called out to him again: "General!"
"What's the matter?" He Jin, who happened to be walking beside a Tiger Warrior warrior, turned around and asked without paying attention.
"My brother sent me a private message, asking me to remind you, unless you have to, don't enter the North Palace easily before the matter is completed!" Gongsun Yue said seriously. "Especially since the eunuch re-entered the North Palace yesterday, you must be even more careful.
Already."
"I understand." He Jin nodded immediately. "How could I be so stupid?"
After saying this, the two of them turned around, one headed towards the center stage, the other towards the outside of the palace.
However, before Gongsun Yue entered the central platform and He Jin had not turned around, suddenly a young man from the Huangmen hurried over, then rushed to He Jin and knelt down: "General! The Queen Mother has an edict, please go back to the Jiade Hall.
trip."
He Jin sneered, but didn't take it seriously, and went to Jiade Palace again. At the same time, Gongsun Yue, who heard such words throughout the whole process, didn't pay attention, but continued to send his documents... After all, Jiade Palace
It's right next to the Chancellor's Desk, and this is the South Palace, not the North Palace!
The North Palace is the residence of the emperor and the harem, and is the foundation of the eunuchs, but the South Palace is not the home of the eunuchs! There is the Yushitai and the Shangshutai, and Tongtuo Street is separated by a wall. Across the street are various official temples and yamen.
It was full of people from He Jin.
Even in the South Palace, next to the Jiade Hall, the general and the scholars had a common stronghold.
That's right, it's the Shangshutai that Gongsun Yue is about to enter.
At this moment, the Huben army in Nangong was under the control of Yuan Shu, and the guards at the Shangshu table were replaced early by their confidants. They only listened to the greetings of the general who recorded the Shangshu affairs and the Grand Tutor Yuan Wei.
In such a situation, how can we not go to the Jiade Hall next to it?
In fact, He Jin had already been there once at noon, and had a quarrel with his sister there. At this time, the Queen Mother summoned her again, either to continue the quarrel or to simply give in... What couldn't she go?
Just like that, on the evening of August 25th, General He came to His Majesty Jiade Palace again. According to etiquette, he needed to take off his shoes and take off his sword at the banquet area in front of the palace. However, as soon as he sat down, he only took off his shoes.
Only, he suddenly discovered that dozens of eunuchs holding sharp swords suddenly appeared around him.
The leaders were Zhang Rang, Zhao Zhong, Duan Gui and others whose hair had already turned gray.
The two sides looked at each other in silence, and at this point, no words were needed. But in the silence, He Jin suddenly stood up, tried to escape from the palace with only one shoe on... As long as he escaped to the middle stage, he could still be saved.
More than a dozen eunuchs showed no mercy. They all swarmed forward and rained down swords. However, He Jin was stabbed several times, but he still rushed out of the prison and came to His Highness. However, he had been stabbed several times.
Unable to support him, Qumu of Zhonghuangmen, who was the supervisor of Shangfang, rushed to His Highness, killed him with a knife, and then cut off his head.
General He Jin, who was in charge of Luozhong and even the balance of the world, died.
To be fair, this killing was beyond everyone's expectations. Not to mention He Jin himself, if Gongsun Xun or even Gongsun Auntie were here, I am afraid they would be at a loss when faced with such a situation... You know, for a long time, Gongsun Auntie, this third person, would be at a loss.
Baodao always thought that the palace where He entered and died was the palace. Later, after learning about the Nangong and the North Palace, he took it for granted that it was the North Palace.
Even Gongsun Xun, who had raised chickens in the Nangong Shangshutai for a while, was like this. He had long subconsciously believed that General He would die in the North Palace.
But in fact, whether in the present or in the history of another time and space, He Jin died in Nangong, in the Jiade Hall, which is very close to the Chancellery.
Moreover, this death was not enough to be called a coup, but more like an assassination, because even if He Jin died, Nangong was still not there, or not entirely under the control of the eunuchs.
After He Jin was killed, the eunuchs divided their forces into two groups. On one group, Zhao Zhong, who had served as the Great Changqiu, naturally came forward to contact the old troops of the Huben Army and blockade the palace gate in the name of the Queen Mother; on the other group,
However, Zhang Rang, Duan Gui and others eagerly drafted a fake edict, appointed Xu Xiang, a pro-eunuch clan, as Henan Yin, and Fan Ling as Sili Xiaowei, and took He Jin's head to the Chancellor's Desk to deliver the edict.
However, both sides suffered setbacks!
For He Jin, the Huben troops were unreliable, but for the eunuchs, the Huben troops were equally unreliable. Most of the Huben troops chose to follow Zhao Zhong and immediately blocked the palace gate, but there were still many Huben troops who chose to immediately
He fled and went to deliver the news outside the palace. He Jin's confidants Wu Kuang and others who were waiting on Tongtuo Street outside Nangong immediately learned about He Jin's death. They immediately made a noise and tried to enter Nangong, but were stopped by the tiger soldiers who were loyal to the eunuchs.
He was stopped in front of the palace gate.
At the central office, Lu Zhi, Cao Shangshu of the Ministry of Civil Affairs, also had doubts immediately after receiving the white-board edict passed by the eunuchs... because this appointment could not have come from the hands of He Jin and Yuan Wei, who recorded the Shangshu affairs. Originally,
The ministers were preparing to leave home. After a brief discussion, the minister realized that something big was going to happen, so he immediately sealed the doors and windows of the minister's desk and began to draw his sword to guard them.
"Where is the general?" After everything was ready, Lu Zhi immediately came out of the center stage to ask.
What greeted him was He Jin's head, which was thrown in from the yellow gate.
The scene was stunned for a moment, and many of the young ministers who followed Lu Zhi were eclipsed. But Lu Zhi only glanced at it, and quickly grabbed the weapon from the guard of the Huben Army who was still at a loss next to him. Gongsun Yue also sighed deeply when he saw this.
tone, and then also took the weapon from the guard to defend Lu Zhi.
This time it was Zhang Rang's turn to be at a loss. They had experienced so many hardships, but this was the first time they saw a serious scholar, a famous Confucian scholar in the country, showing their weapons in front of them.
In desperation, Zhang Rang and others ordered a strong attack on Zhongtai.
However, due to the unreliability of the Huben army and because Wu Kuang and others were still in front of the palace gate, Zhang Rang, who was short of troops, could only let the eunuchs move forward with swords. The middle stage was originally a high-stage palace, so they were in a stalemate and could not enter.
On the evening of May 25th, General Yuan Shu of Huben Zhonglang received a report from some of his subordinates. In other words, Yuan knew the death of the general before everyone else.
Yuan Wei was at a loss when he heard the report. In a hurry, he could only invite his three nephews to discuss it in his courtyard.
"Uncle, what do you mean?" When Yuan Shao heard this, he was panicked for the first time, but soon, for some reason, he suddenly tightened his grip on the handle of the knife in his waist, and his tone actually became calmer.
.
"I don't know." Yuan Wei responded blankly. "I'm asking you, now that the general is suddenly killed, what can you and I do?"
"How is the situation in Nangong?" Yuan Shao asked Yuan Shu with all his strength.
"I don't know." Yuan Shu's forehead was covered with sweat, but he could still answer. "Most of the Tiger and Ben troops stayed in place and followed Zhao Zhong's order to block the palace gate, but a small half came to look for me, and then they listened.
It seems that there is also a stalemate in China and Taiwan..."
"Where is Wu Kuang?" Yuan Shao suddenly interrupted and asked. "Where is Wu Kuang, the most loyal to the general, now? Has he escaped?"
"Gather in front of the palace gate, unable to advance or retreat!" Yuan Shu then thought of another piece of information.
"This is an opportunity!" Yuan Shao heard this, and his voice trembled almost immediately. "Uncle... the general's power has not been dispersed, and it cannot be dispersed so quickly, and everyone in Luo Zhong knows that the general and us
The Yuan family is an ally! If we can avenge the general at this time, we can seize everything from the He family! From then on, the Yuan family becomes the dominant family, even more tyrannical than the Huo family back then! Isn't that what we originally planned? It's just
He Jin died suddenly, so we don't need to worry about fighting with him anymore."
"If this is the case, how can the people of the world obey our Yuan family?" Yuan Ji suddenly became sweating profusely.
"We, the Yuan family, have killed eunuchs for the people of the world, who disobeys us?" Yuan Shao asked sternly. "Brother, don't you know that the world has been in pain in the palace for decades?!"
"The He family also has the cavalry general here!" Yuan Shu's voice trembled slightly, and the hands that instinctively twirled his beard also trembled a little. "Although the two have never gotten along and have no academy, they are brothers after all."
"Tell Wu Kuang and those people that He Miao was part of a group of eunuchs, and they were responsible for the death of the general. Let those warriors take advantage of the chaos to kill people! If we kill He Miao, the power of the He family will belong to us!" Yuan Shao replied immediately.
"There are also ministers who are against us." Yuan Wei carefully reminded his nephew.
"Kill them too!" Unknowingly, Yuan Shao had straightened his chest. "My uncle and brother will do this. In my uncle's name, I will summon all the ministers and kill those eunuchs who have always been with each other in our house."
The ministers who are approaching are here to serve as a warning!"
"There are foreign soldiers outside the city!" Yuan Ji suddenly reminded again. "Ding Yuan, Dong Zhuo, Qiao Mao..."
"This is precisely our advantage." Yuan Shao seemed to have expected it. "If it weren't for the foreign troops, I might not dare to avenge the general... There are three foreign troops. Dong Zhuo is my uncle's former official, and Qiao Mao has always been friends with me.
Okay, don't alarm them for now. When the situation in Luozhong is settled and justice is in hand, we can then send Dong Zhuo and Qiao Mao to annex Ding Yuan. Then the situation will be completely in our hands."
The four uncles and nephews were silent for a while.
"But... after talking for a long time, how can we avenge the general?" In the silence, Yuan Shu suddenly thought of the most fundamental question. "The eunuchs are in the palace now."
"Then attack Nangong." Yuan Shao said expressionlessly. "You go to Wu Kuang, and I will go to Wang Kuang, who has just returned from recruiting troops, and we will attack Nangong together."
The uncle and nephew fell silent again.
"What is there to hesitate for?" For a moment, Yuan Shao became angry, and he was actually just angry at Yuan Shu. "At this time, either we go to attack Nangong and let our Yuan family become the best surname in the world, or you and I brothers will
We can only follow the example of the party members in those days and escape far away from the mountains and seas! Uncle and Yuan Ji can have a way out, do you and I have one?!"
Yuan Shu was startled for a moment, but suddenly turned around and left.
Yuan Wei and Yuan Ji looked pale and looked at Yuan Shao Nuonuo without saying a word... as if they were meeting this close relative for the first time. But Yuan Shao did not stop. He pulled out the saber from his waist that had never been stained with blood and just looked at it.
With one glance, he dragged his white blade outwards.
On the evening of May 25th, Yuan Shu led a small number of Hu Ben troops loyal to him, plus Wu Kuang, a subordinate of the general, to attack Nangong.
Later, Yuan Shao found Wang Kuang, who had just returned from recruiting troops, and hurriedly summoned hundreds of people to join the attack on Nangong.
In the early morning of May 26th, Yuan Shao, Yuan Shu, Wang Kuang and Wu Kuang jointly attacked the Nangong palace wall and gathered all the ministers and ministers from China and Taiwan. The specific information of the coup was thoroughly spread.
On the morning of May 26, after receiving the news, all the political forces in Luozhong no longer hesitated and almost all mobilized.
The cavalry general He Miao led his troops into the palace in an attempt to rescue his sister and nephew and avenge his brother. Tian Chou, who was hiding in Liu Kuan's former residence, immediately mobilized and led hundreds of dozens of followers into the Nangong Palace to seek rescue.
Gongsun Yue and Lu Zhi; Dong Zhuo's brother Dong Min did not dare to neglect, and in a hurry, they also led dozens of Xiliang soldiers to attack Nangong; while the Xiyuan ministries, Feng Fang, Cao Cao and other scholars with eunuch backgrounds were deprived of their military power.
But immediately they went home and brought some soldiers into the palace to participate in attacking and killing the eunuchs to show their innocence. As for other things, various palaces and official residences sent their own guards to enter the palace to attack and kill the eunuchs.
As Yuan Shao said, the world has been in pain for decades!
It's not just Yuan Shao who doesn't want to endure it any longer. The civil and military officials of the entire dynasty and the people of the world, who wants to live the same life as before when Emperor Ling was there?!
To put it another way, when Lu Zhi saw He Jin's head the day before, his first reaction was not to scold him, but to seize the weapon. The desperate actions of Zhang Rang, Zhao Zhong and others were destined to be nothing more than a trapped beast still fighting.
!
The scholars took up weapons in order to protect themselves, and then they immediately discovered that the so-called imperial power and the palace were so ridiculous.
At noon on May 26th, after receiving the news, Grand Tutor Yuan Wei was determined. He immediately publicly executed Xu Xun and Fan Ling, who were both from the same clan but favored the eunuchs, in his own residence on the pretext of colluding with the eunuchs to rebel.
On the afternoon of May 26, most of the Nangong Palace was captured by the anti-eunuch forces, and the palace city was on fire. In the light of the fire, just in front of the Jiade Palace, Wu Kuang, in the name of revenge for the general, teamed up with Dong Zhuo's younger brother Dong Min, and killed the chariot rider in a surprise attack.
General He Miao and various places in the city also began to take advantage of the opportunity to attack and kill. There was turmoil in the Northern Army and Xiyuan.
From the evening of May 26th to the early morning of May 27th, Nangong was almost completely occupied. Yuan Shao relied on his prestige to order the palace gates to be sealed and in turn massacred the eunuchs in the palace.
For a time, regardless of their rank or notoriety, the Nangong eunuchs were almost massacred by the scholars who had been angry for decades. Even the guards, censors, and ministers with short beards were accidentally killed.
But at this moment, while Yuan Shao and others went on a killing spree to vent their anger, Zhang Rang, Zhao Zhong and others suddenly kidnapped Queen Mother He, Emperor Liu Bian, and King Chenliu Liu Xie to escape from the Nangong Palace and tried to pass through the Nangong North Palace.
He fled into the North Palace through the royal road.
However, as he hurriedly walked to the royal road, he suddenly heard constant movement and screams behind him. When he turned around, he realized that there were dozens of people chasing him with weapons, and the leader was a man with a high crown and white hair.
He was tall and thin, carrying a sword, and he turned out to be Lu Zhi and Lu Ziqian.
"Why did Lu Gong pursue the empress dowager and the emperor's ceremony?!" Zhang Rang hugged the emperor Liu Bian, turned around and shouted sharply with his sword. "There are thieves in Nangong, burning the palace, intercepting and killing people, and blood is flowing all over the ground. We generals who are slaves
Isn’t it right for the Queen Mother and the Emperor to be sent to the North Palace for resettlement?! Or are you going to cause chaos in front of the Emperor and let our blood splatter on the Emperor?!"
"Why are you still talking nonsense now?" Lu Zhi faced each other with arms raised, his beard and hair twitching. "You rely on the authority of the Emperor to exert power and bring disaster to the world. Do you still want to use the Emperor and the Queen Mother as hostages today?!"
"What do you want?" Zhao Zhong pushed the Queen Mother He forward, but he also said sternly. "Do you really want to confront the Queen Mother and the emperor with swords and weapons?"
"As a minister, how can I use weapons against the Emperor and the Queen Mother?" Lu Zhi immediately replied sternly. "But don't think of doing anything else today. Wherever you take the Emperor and the Queen Mother hostage, I will naturally follow them.
...I would like to see what else you can do?!"
"The two permanent servants Zhang and Duan will first take the Emperor and King Chenliu into the North Palace." The eunuchs all changed their expressions after hearing this, but Zhao Zhong, who had a intolerant personality, laughed angrily. "The Queen Mother and I are here to have a good time with Mr. Lu.
Just argue!"
Zhang Rang and others were overjoyed, and immediately turned around and fled. For a time, only Zhao Zhong was left, holding the Queen Mother hostage and standing on the royal road to confront Lu Zhi and others. Although Lu Zhi, Gongsun Yue, Tian Chou and others led by Lu Zhi, although the manpower was sufficient,
But because Queen Mother He was so panicked and could only cry, she was unable to do anything for a while.
"Queen Mother!" Lu Zhi took a few steps forward and spoke with a gun. "Now that you are here, Zhao Zhong does not dare to kill you..."
"Queen Mother, don't cry!" Zhao Zhong was actually the Queen Mother He said. "I also want to ask you something."
The Queen Mother panicked when she heard this. She wanted to move, but her hands and feet were numb. She wanted to respond, but her voice was hoarse and she couldn't speak.
"It doesn't matter, the Queen Mother just nods and shakes her head." Zhao Zhong sneered more and more. "I want to ask you, when you poisoned Beauty Wang and the late Emperor wanted to depose you, didn't we, the people of our group, work together to bribe the late Emperor with hundreds of millions of dollars?
To keep your seat?"
Queen Mother He nodded immediately.
"But why, we have repeatedly shown weakness and begged, just to survive, but the general is unwilling to give us a chance? He even wants to punish us? Does this mean that the He family has failed us first?"
Queen Mother He nodded again, but then cried and shook her head.
"You eunuchs are causing trouble in the world. Everyone wants to punish you. The general wants to deal with you. This is called not abolishing public service for selfish reasons! How can I be blamed for you?" The one who spoke angrily was Yi who followed.
From the leader Tian Chou.
"Fart!" Zhao Zhong finally became furious. "Of course we are responsible for the world's troubles, but are we the only ones responsible? Lu Zigan, you are a famous Confucian in China, come and tell me... We eunuchs are certainly filthy.
, but from the Yuan family below, the ministers of the Manchu Dynasty, from your student Gongsun family below, from the border generals, ministers, and even famous Confucian families like you, how many of them are clean?! Kill us, and the world will be able to do so.
Peace?"
Tian Chou opened his mouth to refute, but was stopped by the silent Gongsun Yue.
Then, Lu Ziqian, who was standing at the front, calmly faced the enemy with a gun: "What Zhao Changshi said is indeed irrefutable. Just as you said... If I kill you, the world may not be at peace! But no
If I kill you, the world will never be at peace! What do you think?"
In the light of the sword and fire, Zhao Zhong was silent for a moment, and then he suddenly pushed forward, pushing Queen Mother He into Lu Zhi's arms. Lu Zhi quickly caught her, but Zhao Zhong took the opportunity to
Take a few steps back in the royal road.
Gongsun Yue and Tian Chou quickly moved forward.
However, Zhao Zhong, who had lost his support, did not panic, but actually laughed again with his knife: "Lu Ziqian... You can't refute my words, and I can't refute your words. But I still want to ask you, you
Have you ever thought about it, He Jin is dead, He Miao is also dead, and now if all of us eunuchs are killed by you, then there will be no one to support the emperor, and the world will be in chaos?"
Lu Zhi supported the Queen Mother with one hand and held a gun with the other, but remained silent in response.
"I know, you thought about it, but you are unwilling to let go because you have resentment towards us eunuchs." Zhao Zhong laughed more and more, as if he was crazy. "People in the world say that we eunuchs are selfish, but people in the world don't know, you guys
Scholars are the most selfish people! Everyone in the world says that we eunuchs are playing tricks of power, but people in the world don’t know that you scholars are the most without kings and fathers! How can I, Zhao Zhong, a great man, fall into this trap?
In the hands of hypocrites like you?"
After saying that, Zhao Zhong, who had been retreating, suddenly stopped. Then, regardless of the white blades approaching in front of him, he suddenly cut himself with a horizontal knife. Blood spattered five steps and covered the royal road.
"Send half of the people to escort the Queen Mother to Chongde Hall for placement!" After a long pause, Lu Zhi, who had gray hair, spoke out, but his face remained as usual. "Let's continue chasing!"
————I am the dividing line of five steps of blood splatter————
"At the end of Zhongping, He Jin died and the Nangong was bleeding. Zhang Rang and other regular attendants took the Queen Mother, the Young Emperor and King Chenliu hostage, robbed the officials and their families in the province, and went to the North Palace from the Fudao. Lu Zhi, the minister, held a gun and chased in the middle of the road.
Waiting to leave first, only Zhongzhong held the Queen Mother to cut off the road. Zhi admired the number, but Zhong was also angry: "Am I the only eunuch who can cause harm to the world? Who below the public officials can be loyal and honest? Can the Han Dynasty achieve peace by killing me?" Zhi calmly said
He said to him: "If I don't kill you, there will never be peace in the Han Dynasty!" Zhongxin, the Empress Dowager Shi, committed suicide in Fudao." - "Shishuo Xinyu", Speech Chapter
