Zhang Rang and others who were lying in ambush outside the Queen's palace looked increasingly ugly as they listened to the conversation between He Jin and Queen He in the palace.
"Brother, those scholars can't believe it. After all, Zhang Rang and his group are kind to us brothers and sisters. Furthermore, it's not up to the emperor how much power they have. Why kill them all? There may not be any use for them in the future.
.”
"Absurd!" He Jin waved his sleeves, "Yuan Wei, Yang Biao and others are all famous officials in the country and important ministers in the court. They are loyal to our great Han Dynasty, but they discriminate against those eunuchs. Since ancient times, there has been no eunuch who has not done harm to anyone.
, the problem that the Han Dynasty has come to this stage is all on these eunuchs, they are the reason why they did so many wrong things by bewitching the emperor. I, the great general, may be complicit in this kind of people!"
"If you don't believe the words of so many celebrities and courtiers in the world, why should I believe some worthless ones? No, the words of the eunuchs are not enough!" I could say this, but I can only say that brain is a good thing, but He Jin never had it.
.
Queen He was speechless after saying a few words. Indeed, all the eunuchs recorded in history were guilty of extremely evil crimes. In terms of the Eastern Han Dynasty, Cao Cao's grandfather Cao Teng and Xun Yu's father-in-law Lu Qiang had a better reputation.
It was just because he had done too many transactions with scholars that he was not smeared.
Zhang Rang, who was hiding outside the palace, looked at each other, completely gave up the idea of negotiating with He Jin, and walked out of the palace with a gloomy expression.
Having just finished arguing with Queen He using a set of rhetoric he learned from Yuan Shao and others, He Jin walked out with some satisfaction after winning a great victory. His literary talent, wow, is really great.
He Jin had just exited the inner palace gate and entered the corridor. Instinctively, He Jin paused in his steps and his body went cold without any warning. He looked around carefully. There was no one in the entire corridor, and the firelight was a little dim.
He tightened his robe tightly and muttered something, and He Jin immediately quickened his pace.
"General, what are you doing in such a hurry?" Three figures appeared from the end of the corridor. The leader was my father Zhang Rang. The three of them all held bright eight-sided Han swords in their hands and slowly advanced towards He Jin.
Enter.
"Zhang Rang, you, you, what are you going to do!" He Jin was so frightened by the sudden voice that he was covered in sweat. He took a step back and saw clearly that the people coming were Zhang Rang and three others. They were still holding swords in their hands. He instinctively
Feeling bad, he grabbed the hilt of the sword at his waist with his sweaty hands. He turned around and saw that the back of the corridor was also tightly blocked. None of the eunuchs he had just been talking about getting rid of were pulled away.
Appeared in front of him.
"What are you doing, He Jin, you ungrateful thing? If we hadn't used our own wealth to protect Queen He, where would you be like a butcher today? Now that the new emperor has just ascended the throne, you are going to kill us, you ungrateful thing.
!”
"They say that we are a scourge of disloyalty and unrighteousness, as if you kill me and wait for the court to have peace of mind. But these scourges of us also pay attention to the word kindness and righteousness. We have never broken a promise in our lives!"
"We have surrendered to you many times and even handed over our family property, but you still want to kill them all. So don't blame us for being ruthless today."
Having said that, they were not going to give He Jin any chance to make excuses. The six of them rushed forward waving their long swords. He Jin's official position was a general, but it did not mean that he had the strength of a general. After a few blows, he panicked and
Zhang Rang killed him with a sword.
The eunuchs took He Jin's head and quickly took over the imperial army in the palace. They also falsely reported that the general had sent orders to seize the military power in Xiyuan.
On the surface, the military power in Xiyuan is in the hands of He Jin. In fact, all the captains are either former disciples of the Yuan family or people who have good relations with the Yuan family. How can they really take the general in their eyes and order them to seize the military power at this moment?
, he immediately alerted the enemy. After receiving the news, Yuan Shao immediately concluded that the plan was successful and that He Jin was dead. He performed a perfunctory performance in the general's palace and immediately led the crowd towards the palace.
During this period, Cao Cao objected, but Yuan Shao was furious. Cao Cao hid his face and walked away with one sentence, "You, the eunuch, are you trying to excuse these eunuchs!"
Without Cao Cao to stop him, Yuan Shao led his troops to attack the palace, but Yuan Shu arrived one step ahead and started to attack the palace. Neither of the two brothers spoke to the other, but launched a fierce attack in unison.
That night, a fire broke out in the Luoyang palace. All the beardless men were killed. The palace maids were raped by the soldiers who rushed into the palace. Zhang Rang and others kidnapped the emperor. Liu Xie and Queen He fled, but were robbed by Lu Zhi's troops on the way.
After returning to the empress, Dong Zhuo, who had received the order, also appeared in time and snatched the emperor back in one fell swoop.
In fact, Dong Zhuo was specially requested by the Yuan family to be transferred to the capital to kill the eunuchs, because Dong Zhuo himself was an old official of the Yuan family, and he had always relied on the Yuan family as his backer. This was how he was able to successively hold the positions of the governor of Hedong and the governor of Liangzhou from the Liang family son.
.
When there were only a dozen miles away from Luoyang, Dong Zhuo, who was leading the way, saw a mighty team of ministers heading towards him. The leader was Cui Lie, a well-known scholar in Jizhou, who paid to buy
His reputation was damaged due to his appointment as Taiwei, and he was about to seize the opportunity to make up for his reputation this time.
As the leader of the officials, Cui Lie came to reap the rewards. He did not see the emperor but was blocked by the ferocious Xiliang cavalry. Cui Lie, a celebrity who was also mentally ill, immediately pointed at Dong Zhuo's nose and cursed, "What?"
An Gan, a warrior who was just a son of a good family, said that he had the ability to save the enemy, which made Dong Zhuo furious.
Damn it, does it have anything to do with your origin if you have accomplished the feat of rescuing him!
From a petty official to the current governor of Liangzhou, Dong Zhuo has been pointed at and scolded by many scholars. Before, he had a low official position and did not dare to talk back. Now he is the governor of a party and has tens of thousands of the most elite men at his disposal.
How could the men and horses bear this kind of anger? Moreover, the credit for rescuing the cavalry was originally his own. When he was stimulated at this moment, he immediately became jealous and walked towards Cui Lie waving his sword. "I have thousands of soldiers."
Ma, we have been traveling all night to rescue the holy driver. You, a thief, still want to take the credit. Do you think that Erlang, my subordinate, can't kill people? Do you think that my sword is not good for you?"
Cui Lie was frightened by the sword that had been gesticulating around his neck. He had goosebumps all over his body, his legs were shaking, his face was pale, and he was trembling. He looked like a minister of the Central Government. He was immediately frightened by Dong Zhuo's threats.
He rolled back, and even the ministers who followed behind him were frightened and stayed away.
This scene completely opened the door to a new world for Dong Zhuo!
It turns out that all the high officials and ministers in the DPRK look like this, and they are worse than the Qiang people in Xiliang. They can be afraid of looking like this even after threatening them with a knife!?
It can only be said that no one is as good as God. Yuan Wei and Yang Biao planned well, but in the end they let Cui Lie make a show of taking credit, which ignited the little flame of ambition in Dong Zhuo's heart.
