311 Chapter 309, Grand Tutor, Please Save the Son of Heaven
The situation at this time has some changes from history.
In the original history, the conflict between He Jin and the eunuchs originated from Liu Bian and Liu Xie.
Liu Bian was He Jin's nephew and the prince.
Liu Xie was born to Wang Meiren, who was raised in the palace by Empress Dowager Dong after her death.
Empress Dowager Dong was the mother of Emperor Ling and the wife of Liu Chang, Marquis of Jiedu Ting. At first, because Emperor Huan had no children, she welcomed the son of Marquis Jiedu Ting as Ling Emperor.
Emperor Ling took over the throne and welcomed his adoptive mother into the palace, honoring her as the Queen Mother.
The Empress Dowager Dong tried to persuade the emperor to make the prince Xie the crown prince. The emperor also favored Xie and wanted to establish him. At that time, he was seriously ill, and Zhong Chang served Jian Shuo and said: "If you want to establish Xie, you must first kill He Jin to avoid future troubles."
This was the conflict between He Jin and the eunuchs in history.
It's different now.
With the support of Chen Yuan, Liu Bian became the emperor steadily, and he has been in office for a year, which can barely be said to be enough.
However, even so, Empress Dowager Dong was unwilling to do so.
The reason is simple: Empress Dowager Dong and Empress Dowager He were at odds.
Empress Dowager Dong felt that Empress Dowager He, her daughter-in-law, did not respect her. Especially after Liu Bian became emperor, Empress Dowager He did not take Empress Dowager Dong seriously.
But after all, the Han Dynasty ruled the world with filial piety, so Empress Dowager He naturally did not dare to openly bully Empress Dowager Dong. However, if Empress Dowager He could become the Queen Mother, she naturally had her own methods.
After some underhanded tactics, Empress Dowager Dong had no choice but to suffer the loss of being dumb.
As a result, Empress Dowager Dong became more and more angry.
Therefore, Empress Dowager Dong made good friends with Shi Changshi and conspired to get rid of He Jin and depose the emperor.
The Ten Constant Attendants still have huge power today. They are also masters themselves, so they naturally have the ability to depose and establish the emperor.
Therefore, the two groups conspired to secretly recruit He into the palace and kill him.
Once He Jin died, Liu Bian lost his support, so it was natural to make Liu Xie the emperor.
As for the courtiers?
Shi Chang served in the cave and watched the fire. On the surface, the courtiers had no objections to Liu Bian being the emperor.
In fact, these people have resentment in their hearts.
The reason is very simple, just because the person standing behind Liu Bian is Chen Yuan.
Therefore, according to Shi Changshi's analysis, he and others deposed the emperor, and most of the courtiers were just waiting to see what happened.
As for Chen Yuan, Shi Changshi believed that as long as Liu Bian was not killed, his emperor Chen Yuan would not be able to do anything.
After all, Chen Yuan is Liu Bei's fourth brother, and what he must want most in his heart is for Liu Bei to become emperor.
Therefore, the ten permanent attendants secretly sent people to recruit He into the palace.
He Jin didn't have any precautions at all. After all, He Jin was so high-spirited now that he couldn't even imagine that someone would harm him.
When He Jin walked to the palace gate, a figure suddenly came out. This person was Sima Pan Yin.
He said to He Jin: "You are not allowed to enter the palace. Jian Shuo wants to murder the Duke."
Jin was shocked and hurried back to his private house. He summoned all the ministers and wanted to kill all the eunuchs.
A man on the seat stepped forward and said: "The power of the eunuchs starts from the beginning, and when they are challenged, the imperial court spreads so widely, how can they be executed? If the secret is not kept secret, there will be disaster of annihilation: please elaborate."
When I looked at it, I saw that it was Cao Cao, the captain of the Dian Army.
Jin scolded: "How can you, my junior, know about the important affairs of the imperial court?"
Yes, our brother Meng De is now a captain in the Dian Army.
While he was hesitating, Pan Yin arrived and said: "Today Sai Shuo is discussing with Shi Chang Shi, and they are going to issue an edict to announce that Uncle He Guo has entered the palace. In order to avoid future troubles, he will appoint Prince Xie as the emperor."
It's not over yet, the mission has arrived, announce the advance and move in quickly to determine the big event.
Cao Cao said: "Today's plan is to rectify the throne first, and then to plot against thieves."
Jin said: "Who dares to challenge my lord as a thief?"
One man stepped forward and said: "I would like to borrow five thousand elite soldiers to cut through the pass and enter, install a new king, kill all the eunuchs, clear the court, and bring peace to the world!"
When he came to see him, he was the son of Situ Yuan Feng and the nephew of Yuan Kai. His name was Shao, his courtesy name was Benchu, and he was now the captain of Sili School.
He Jin was overjoyed and ordered five thousand soldiers from the Royal Forest Army.
Shao is fully clothed.
He Jin introduced more than 30 ministers such as He Yong, Xun You, Zheng Tai, etc., who came in one after another. Yuan Shao entered the palace to collect Jian Shuo.
Shuo panicked and walked into the imperial garden. Under the shade of the flowers, he was killed by the official Guo Sheng.
All the imperial troops led by Shuo surrendered.
Shao said to He Jin: "The middle officials have formed a clique. Today we can take advantage of the situation and punish them."
Zhang Rang and other governors were in a hurry, so they panicked and sued Hehou, saying: "The person who originally planned to frame the general was only Sai Shuo, and did not do anything about the ministers. Now the general listened to Yuan Shao's words and wanted to kill the ministers and others. Your Majesty, have mercy!"
Queen Mother He said: "Don't worry, I will protect you."
Proclaiming the mission and announcing where to enter.
The Queen Mother secretly said: "You and I were born in a humble background. How could we enjoy this wealth without Zhang Rang and others? Now that Jian Shuo is unkind and has already been executed, why do you listen to others and want to execute the eunuch?"
After He Jin heard this, he went out to all the officials and said, "Jian Shuo has plotted to harm me, but his family will be destroyed. There is no need to harm the others rashly."
Yuan Shao said: "If we don't cut the grass and get rid of the roots, we will definitely lose our lives."
Jin said: "I have made up my mind, don't say more."
All officials retired.
What happened next was the same as in history. He Jin later killed Empress Dowager Dong. He originally wanted to kill all the ten regular servants, but the ten regular servants were ten regular servants after all, and his methods were extraordinary.
After several operations, and with the intervention of Queen Mother He, he regained favor.
Therefore, He Jin originally didn't want to kill Shi Changshi, but there were bad guys.
This bad guy is Yuan Shao.
At this time, Yuan Shao is about to start performing.
Yes, Yuan Shao has been waiting for this opportunity for a long, long time.
Originally, Yuan Shao was almost in despair, because Chen Yuan came out of nowhere and suppressed everything, leaving no room for him to develop.
However, he did not expect that Empress Dowager Dong, Shi Changshi, He Jin and Empress Dowager He were so stupid.
In despair, he tore a hole for himself.
Yuan Shao said to He Jin: "Zhang Rang, Duan Gui and others spread rumors that the evildoer wanted to kill Empress Dong and wanted to do something big. If we don't kill the eunuch at this time, it will be a big disaster later. In the past, Dou Wu wanted to kill Neishu. , The plan is not secret, but it will suffer disaster. Today, my brothers, generals, and officials are all handsome men. If you try your best, you will be able to control the matter. This time of heaven's praise cannot be missed."
Although what Yuan Shao said made He Jin a little moved, He Jin did not decide immediately. Instead, he said: "We can discuss it later."
Suddenly the news leaked out that there were spies from ten permanent servants in He Jin's house.
The spy reported to Zhang Rang, who told He Miao and gave him more bribes.
In addition, He Miao was full of complaints against He Jin, so He Miao wrote to He Hou: "The general assists the new king, and is not merciful, but specializes in killing. Now he wants to kill ten regular servants for no reason. This is to bring chaos. Tao."
Empress Dowager He thought it made sense, so she called He Jin over and said, "The Zhongguan commanded the forbidden provinces, a story of the Han family. The late emperor abandoned the world, and you want to kill the old ministers, so you are not focusing on the ancestral temple."
He Jin is not only indecisive, but he also loves this girl very much.
Therefore, he gave up the idea of killing the eunuch.
Regarding these, Yuan Shao has a clear eye on fire. Even if he cannot see fire well, doesn't he still have Yuan Huai?
So when he saw He Jin coming back, Yuan Shao immediately asked: "What's the big deal?"
Jin said: "The Queen Mother does not agree, what can I do?"
This is it, Yuan Shao was ecstatic in his heart.
What you are waiting for is what you can do.
Yuan Shao seemed calm, but in fact he said ecstatically: "We can summon heroes from all over the world, gather troops to come to the capital, and kill all the eunuchs. The matter is urgent at this time, and the Queen Mother cannot tolerate disobedience."
When He Jin heard this, he immediately felt that this strategy was so clever.
So he sent a message to every town and summoned him to the capital.
Of course, there are also sensible people among them, such as Chen Lin and Cao Cao.
They all tried to dissuade me, but unfortunately they didn't succeed.
The message was sent to all parts of the world, but only two people took action.
Dong Zhuo, the governor of Xiliang, and Ding Yuan, the governor of Bingzhou.
After Liu Bei received the message, he threw it away very calmly and stopped caring about it.
He had no interest in going to Luoyang to kill eunuchs.
Besides, there is no clear edict from the emperor and he enters the capital privately. What do you want to do?
Rebellion?
Strictly speaking, in history, Dong Zhuo and Ding Yuan were both rebels when they came to Beijing.
Not to mention anything else, just say that after Dong Zhuo received the imperial edict, he was overjoyed at the time and ordered his troops and horses to go out one after another. He asked his son-in-law Zhonglang General Niu to assist him. He defended Shaanxi while he took Li Jue, Guo Si, Zhang Ji,
Fan Chou and others raised their troops to march towards Luoyang.
Li Ru, the counselor of Zhuo's son-in-law, said: "Although I have issued an edict, there are many hidden meanings in it. Why not send someone to the table? The name is right and the words are correct, and great things can be planned." Zhuo was overjoyed, so he went to the table. The summary said:
I have heard that the chaos and rebelliousness in the world is all due to Zhang Rang, the official of the Yellow Gate, and others who are disrespectful of heaven. I heard that it is better to remove the firewood than to stop the boiling. Although the ulcer is painful, it is worse than nourishing the poison. I dare to ring the bells and drums. Entering Luoyang, please give way. The country is very lucky! The world is very lucky!
He Jin got the watch and showed his ministers. Zheng Tai, the imperial censor, admonished him: "Dong Zhuo is a jackal. If he is introduced to the capital, he will eat people." Jin said: "You are too suspicious to plan for a big thing."
Then he sent people to meet Dong Zhuo in Mianchi, but Zhuo held his troops and did not move.
When Zhang Rang and others learned that foreign troops were arriving, they discussed together: "What's the point of this plan? If we don't attack first, we will all be wiped out."
First, fifty men with swords and axes were waiting inside the Jiade Gate of Changle Palace. They went to report to the Empress Dowager He and said: "The general has summoned foreign troops to the capital. He wants to destroy the ministers and others. I hope the empress will take pity on me and rescue her."
The Queen Mother said: "You can go to the General's Mansion to apologize."
Rang said: "If you go to the prime minister's house, your bones and flesh will be crumbled to pieces. I hope the queen will announce that the general will come to the palace to stop him. If he doesn't comply, I will just go to the queen and ask for death."
The Queen Mother issued an edict to announce the advance.
Just go ahead and get the imperial edict. Chen Lin, the chief registrar, admonished: "This imperial edict from the Queen Mother must be the plan of the Shi Chang Shi. You must not go. If you go, there will be disaster."
Jin said: "What harm does the Queen Mother order me to do?"
Yuan Shao said: "Now that the plot has been leaked and the matter has been exposed, the general still wants to enter the palace?"
Cao Cao said: "First call the ten constant attendants out, and then you can come in."
Jin smiled and said, "This is just a child's opinion. I hold the power of the world, how dare I treat you?"
Shao said, "Young Master must be leaving. We will recruit soldiers to protect you in case of any unexpected events."
So Yuan Shao and Cao Cao each selected 500 elite soldiers and ordered Yuan Shao's younger brother Yuan Shu to lead them. Yuan Shu, fully clothed in armor, led the troops outside Qingsuo Gate.
Shao and Cao escorted He Jin to the Changle Palace with their swords.
Huangmen Chuanyi's decree says: "The Queen Mother has specially declared the general, and no one else is allowed to enter."
Yuan Shao, Cao Cao and others were blocked outside the palace gate.
In this way, there is no need to say more about He Jin's fate. He was directly chopped off by Shi Changshi, and then He Jin's head was thrown out.
The edict read: "He Jin has plotted rebellion and has been executed! All other threats and subordinates will be pardoned."
What happened next was just like in history. Yuan Shao led his troops directly into the palace and chopped down all the people without beards.
Countless people died in vain.
None of this is important. Yuan Shao originally wanted to do this. If he wasn't afraid of being too obvious, he would have set fire to the Luoyang Palace.
When the Shichangshi saw Yuan Shao and others rushing in, they took the Emperor, Prefect He and King Chenliu hostage and headed for Mang Mountain.
Why run to Mang Mountain?
There is only one reason, and that is to find Chen Yuan.
For the current plan, they believe that only Chen Yuan can protect their lives.
As long as Chen Yuan is willing to take action, Luoyang will be in peace, and Yuan Shao and the others will not be able to cause any trouble.
They are not afraid of Chen Yuan now, they are afraid of Yuan Shao.
Good guy, Yuan Shao really dares to kill someone.
There is nothing about Zhang Rang drowning in the river.
Because Zhang Rang is a first-class strong man.
If he hadn't been reluctant to give up his power, Zhang Rang could actually have escaped on his own and found a place where no one was around to spend the rest of his life comfortably.
But Zhang Rang couldn't give up his power, so he led a group of people to Mang Mountain.
When they were about to arrive at Mang Mountain.
Having already seen the light of fire rising into the sky in Mang Mountain, everyone couldn't help but feel relieved. The Taifu was in front.
But at this moment, I suddenly saw flags covering the sun, dust covering the sky, and two groups of men and horses arriving.
One army was none other than the Baiguan army led by Yuan Shao and the army under the Eighth School Lieutenant, and the other army was none other than Dong Zhuo and Fatty Dong.
The two armies arrived at the foot of Mang Mountain almost at the same time and saw the emperor's carriage.
As a result, the three parties formed a confrontation at the foot of Mang Mountain.
However, Dong Zhuo had strong soldiers and strong horses, so he was obviously the most powerful side.
Yuan Shao followed, and then Zhang Rang had almost no army. The only support was that the emperor and King Chenliu were in his hands.
This is his biggest bargaining chip.
But he didn't speak first, but waited quietly.
Yuan Shao didn't know the details of this army, so he immediately asked: "Who are they?"
From the shadow of the embroidered flag, a general flew out and asked sharply: "Where is the Emperor?"
Good guy, you didn’t take him seriously, Chief Yuan, at all.
This man's voice was extremely ferocious, which frightened Liu Bian directly. After all, Liu Bian could not practice cultivation.
It is normal to be frightened by such ferocious sounds.
Liu Xie was calm on the contrary, because Liu Xie was able to cultivate, and now Liu Xie had reached the seventh level of cultivation.
Considering his age, he is quite qualified.
Liu Bian was trembling and unable to speak.
King Chenliu reined up his horse and moved forward, shouting: "Who is coming?"
Zhuo said: "Dong Zhuo is the governor of Xiliang."
King Chenliu said: "You are here to protect me, or are you here to rob me?"
Zhuo Ying said, "I came here to protect you."
King Chenliu said: "Since you have come to escort me, the emperor is here, why don't you dismount?"
Zhuo was frightened and hurriedly dismounted his horse and bowed to Daozuo.
King Chenliu comforted Dong Zhuo with words, and from the beginning to the end, he was not speechless.
During the whole process, Yuan Shao watched indifferently and said nothing.
Because his purpose has been achieved.
Now that Dong Zhuo has entered Beijing, his goal has been achieved, and he should run away if he continues to perform.
Therefore, Yuan Shao naturally did not want to be in the limelight at this time.
Logically speaking, now that the matter is over, the group should return to the palace.
But Zhang Rang didn’t do it.
He doesn't feel safe at all now, and he strongly believes that Chen Yuan should be invited out of the mountain.
Then, Zhang Rang suddenly used all his strength and shouted towards Mangshan: "Master, please save the emperor."
