Chapter Sixteen Killing the Eunuch

When He went to the palace gate, Sima Fan said privately: "You can't enter the palace, Jian Shuo wants to harm the Duke." Jin was shocked and went back. He summoned the ministers to discuss the matter. At this time, Cao Cao and Yuan Shao were among them. They

After listening to He Jin's narration about what happened, Cao Cao stood up and said: "Eunuchs have been causing trouble since Zhao Gou. Moreover, they have spread deeply in the court. It may not be easy to punish them all. If the secret is not kept secret, they will be killed. General

If you want to punish him, you must do it carefully."

When He Jin saw the person, he turned out to be Cao Cao, the captain of the Dian Army, so he scolded: "How can you, my junior, know about the important affairs of the imperial court!"

While He Jin was hesitating, someone suddenly reported: "The emperor has passed away. Now Jian Shuo has discussed with the Shichang servants. He will not announce the funeral secretly. He pretends to order his uncle to enter the palace. In order to avoid future troubles, he will make the prince Xie the emperor."

Before he could finish his words, the imperial edict arrived, announcing that Jin should move in quickly to decide what to do next. As He Jin was about to move forward, Cao Cao admonished him again: "The current plan is to rectify the throne first, and then plot against thieves."

Jin also had this intention, so he said: "Who dares to challenge my lord as a thief?"

Seeing this, Yuan Shao also stepped forward and said: "I am willing to help five thousand elite soldiers, cut off the pass and enter, appoint a new king, kill all the eunuchs, clear the court, and stabilize the world!" When he saw it, he was the fourth generation and the third prince, who was now the Central Committee.

Yuan Shao, the captain of the military academy, was also Yuan Benchu. He was overjoyed and ordered five thousand imperial troops, led by Shao. He himself led dozens of ministers to come in one after another and stood in front of the coffin of Emperor Ling. He supported Prince Bian and ascended the throne, becoming the Young Emperor of the Han Dynasty.

After all the officials paid their respects, He Jin ordered Yuan Shao to lead his troops into the imperial garden and kill Jian Shuo, but at this time Jian Shuo had been killed. All the imperial troops under his command surrendered. Shao advised He Jin to take the opportunity to kill all ten of his attendants.

.However, He Jin let the ten permanent servants go on the grounds that the new king had just been established. So the matter was dropped.

After Liu Bian came to the throne, the conflict between Empress Dong and Empress He became more intense. Both palaces wanted to take charge of the government, and finally they faced each other with swords. However, Empress Dong was weak and was defeated by Empress He. Her uncle Dong Zhong hanged himself and died.

Finally, he fell into the hands of the He family. The Shichang attendants then waited for an opportunity to win over the He family's favor, and finally got good luck again.

In the sixth month, He Jin sent people to kill Empress Dong in Hejian Yiting, and was later buried in Wenling. After that, He Jin excused himself from illness and stayed in seclusion. Seeing He Jin kill Empress Dong, the Shichang attendants thought to themselves that they would soon die.

This would be the case, so he secretly thought about getting rid of He Jin. At this time, Yuan Shao also issued an admonition to kill the ten regular servants in order to correct the imperial court. If he did not kill him at this time, it would be a disaster. He Jin also had this intention at this time, but he still had to do it.

Please tell me what to do next.

But at this time, someone had reported the matter to Zhang Rang and others. Rang asked He Hou for help, and later promised to save him. He summoned He Jin to explain the matter, but Jin did not dare to take action. Shao also advised him to summon all the heroes from the world to the capital.

, then the big thing will be done. Jin realized that this plan was very clever, and wanted to send a message to various places. However, Chen Lin, the chief secretary, felt it was not possible, thinking that this move was to lure wolves and tigers, and hide one's eyes to catch birds. But He Jin refused to listen.

At this time, Cao Cao also came out to persuade: "We must first kill the evil people, and we must not call in foreign troops to the capital, otherwise one chaos will be suppressed and another will start again!"

Ran Jin angrily accused Cao Cao of harboring evil intentions and refused to listen to his advice. Cao retreated and said, "Anyone who disrupts the world will surely advance!" He Jin then sent people carrying proclamations to various places at night.

It is said that after Zhao Yun heard about this from the army, he said to Gongsun Zan: "General, why don't you lead your army to Kyoto and kill the eunuchs, so as not to let others get there first? After the incident is completed, the general will be the most outstanding hero of the imperial court."

But Gongsun Zan replied: "The imperial court has both forbidden troops and imperial guards. Why do we need to intervene? This is clearly to test the intentions of the heroes from all over the country. How could I not know it." Zan then did not accept Zhao Yun's suggestion and decided to stay put. Zhao Yun knew that he could not change.

The trajectory of history then retreated.

However, Dong Zhuo, the governor of Xiliang, was overjoyed after receiving this message, so he discussed the matter with his advisers. Finally, Dong Zhuo decided to lead an army of 200,000 to the capital to fight against the thieves. However, he still requested to go to the capital to punish the thieves.

After He Jin received Dong Zhuo's letter, he presented it to the ministers. Among them, Zheng Tai admonished: "Dong Zhuo is a jackal. If he is introduced to the capital, he will be a disaster." At that time, Lu Zhi also came in and admonished: "Dong Zhuo is a man with a good face and an evil heart.

, once he enters the palace, he will become a tiger or a wolf, so it is better to let him go back to avoid chaos."

But He Jin refused to listen and sent people to welcome Dong Zhuo to Mianchi. Seeing this, Zheng Tai and Lu Zhi abandoned their posts and left. Most of the pillars of the imperial court also left.

Zhang Rang and others knew that they were about to be in trouble, so they decided to strike first. They planned to let He Jin enter the palace to meet He Hou, while he ambush the swordsman in Changle Palace.

Jin was summoned and wanted to go. However, Chen Lin, Yuan Shao, Cao Cao and others came again to warn him that this was a plan of the Ten Constant Attendants and not to go. But Jin refused to listen. Yuan Shao, Cao Cao and others had no choice but to lead Jia.

The soldiers followed him. The two escorted him to the front of Changle Palace. However, the Huangmen Chuanyi decree said: "The general is specially declared to enter, and others are not allowed to enter." Cao Cao, Yuan Shao and others were blocked from the palace gate.

After a while, Cao Cao and Yuan Shao saw that there was no movement inside, so they wanted to call out to He Jin, but they saw a head thrown out from the inside. Upon closer inspection, it turned out to be the general He Jin. Yuan Shao shouted: "The eunuch tried to kill the court minister, you

Follow me and kill the rebels!" After saying that, General He Jin and Yuan Shao and others rushed into the palace, killing eunuchs whenever they saw them. Shi Chang's servants were young, and no one was spared. Many innocent people also died.

Under the sword.

When Zhang Rang and others saw that He Jin was dead, they took Emperor Han and King Chenliu to the north gate, broke through the siege, and headed to Beimang Mountain overnight. They were later intercepted by Min Gong, a Henan official, and Duan Gui was beheaded on the spot.

Seeing this, Zhang Rang had no choice but to commit suicide by throwing himself into the river. However, Emperor Shao of Han and King Chenliu took advantage of the chaos to escape.

Cao Cao asked the Queen Mother He to be the regent, and he led his army to pursue Zhang Rang and others. The Queen Mother He had just escaped from Zhang Rang and others and was saved from death, so he ordered her to lead the army.

Let's say that Cao Cao led his army to Henan, and saw Min Gong, the Henan official, also leading his troops. Cao Cao asked, "Where are Zhang Rang and other eunuchs?"

He replied: "Zhang Rang has committed suicide by throwing himself into the river, and Duan Gui has been killed by me. His head is here!"

"Then where are the Young Emperor and King Chenliu?"

"I'm looking for it!"

Cao Cao then ordered all the soldiers to quickly find the whereabouts of the two young emperors, otherwise something might happen. He went back to report everything to Hou He. At this time, the young emperors and King Chen Liu had already fled overnight to the place of the reclusive sage Cui Yi.

.

Mingong also divided his troops into four groups to search for the whereabouts of the young emperor. He also led a group of men and horses to follow the pursuit. When he came to Cuiyizhuang, the owner of the village came out to meet him. He saw Duan Gui's head hanging on his horse's head and asked why. Mingong then sent the young emperor to him.

And briefly talked about the escape of King Chenliu.

After Cui Yi heard this, he brought him to see the young emperor. The emperor and his ministers cried bitterly. Min Gong then welcomed the young emperor back to Luoyang. Within a few miles of leaving the village, Situ Wang Yun, Taiwei Yang Biao, Central Military Academy Lieutenant Yuan Shao and other ministers also welcomed him.
