The inn reported that Ding Yuan's forward Lu Bu has led three thousand cavalry, crossed the Yellow River, passed Mengjin Port, and will soon arrive at Hulao Pass."
"Three thousand cavalry of Zhu Kui of Jiangxia have entered Xinzheng, and Dong Zhuo's vanguard army of Hedong has also passed through Shaanxi County. The remaining people, such as Qiao Mao, the prefect of Dongjun, excused themselves from the call because of illness."
"Haha! Ding Yuan has arrived at Hulao. His three thousand Bingzhou cavalry are enough to intimidate the eunuchs! Come here! Confer Ding Yuan the title of Zhijinwu, receive the post of Zhonglang General, and reward him with a hundred gold!" He Jin slapped his thigh.
, was quite happy, and immediately summoned Chen Lin, the chief secretary of the mansion, and said loudly: "As for the other people who did not follow the summons, we will settle the account in the future."
"General... I am a court official. The jade is worth two thousand stones... I need His Majesty's Holy Order..." Upon hearing this, Chen Lin looked embarrassed and whispered slightly.
"Hmph! Your Majesty is my nephew, and I will make the decision for you. Why not? Write it quickly! Later, I will go straight to the palace and ask for your seal to be stamped!" He Jin snorted dissatisfiedly, coldly.
He glanced at Chen Lin and scolded loudly.
"Yes..." Chen Lin's expression changed continuously, and she hesitated to speak. When she saw Yuan Shao and others watching from the wall, watching He Jin play with the monkey, she couldn't help but sigh slightly and stepped back.
Since the foreign ministers called for help and led troops into Luo, He Jin mistakenly thought that the situation was settled, and began to become arrogant and arrogant, showing the reappearance of Liang and Ji.
If you want to take it, you must first allow it. Yuan Shao and other party members have been flattering everyone for days. Behind their backs, a cold dagger has been sharpened.
At this time, a domestic servant led a palace maid to dress up as a woman, and a report outside the room said: "General! The Queen Mother has invited the general to enter the palace..."
"Oh? I've been at home claiming to be sick all month, so why did the Queen Mother suddenly summon me? Well... since Ding Yuan has already arrived, there's no need to claim to be sick anymore! Go back to the Queen Mother and I'll enter the palace immediately!" He Jin hesitated for a moment.
, replied to the palace maid, turned around, and said, "Chen Lin! You draft the will, attack first, and summon your majesty! Later, I will enter the palace..."
Hearing that He Jin was about to enter the palace, Yuan Shao's expression changed drastically and he could no longer sit still. He immediately advised, "General! This edict from the Queen Mother must be the plan of the ten permanent servants. You must not go. If you go, there will be disaster!"
Although Yuan Shao wanted He Jin to die, he was still needed to serve as a pawn for the party and drive out the eunuchs. Therefore, Jian Shuo advised He Jin to complain of illness and not enter the palace unless it was decided by the court.
He Jin was not happy and glared at Yuan Shao, "The Queen Mother is my sister. What harm could she have done by ordering me to enter the palace?"
Yuan Shao saw that He Jin's face was getting more and more ugly, but he still tried to persuade him in a different direction, "If the general wants to go, he can call the ten constant servants to leave the palace first, and then he can enter!"
He Jin laughed dissatisfied and glanced at Yuan Shao and others, "Ha! What a child's opinion! I hold the military power in the world, not to mention the ten permanent servants. Who in the world dares to do anything to me?"
Watching He Jin leave in defiance, Yuan Shao, Chen Lin and others were left sitting there, looking around, all looking at Yuan Shao, waiting for him to make up his mind.
Yuan Shao's face was as dark as water, and a hint of murderous intent suddenly flashed in his eyes, and he heard him say, "Since the general has insisted on entering the palace, we will take care of the aftermath and order the imperial army in the West Garden to assemble outside the imperial city. If the Shichang Attendant
If you want to harm the general, we will risk our lives to break into the palace and save him."
Everyone was shocked. Yuan Shao was going to do Jian Shuo's business again. He Jin could only be saved with words. There were tens of thousands of eunuchs in the forbidden palace, and there were two or three thousand eunuchs who could fight. These were also the ten constant servants who relied on them. But
The foreign officials were restrained, fearing that Zhang Rang and others would take risks and affect the emperor.
The name Blood Splattered Imperial City is not something you dare to take lightly.
Therefore, Yuan Shao and others entrusted He Jin to do this and bear the bad reputation, and He Jin was not a fool. Qian Shuo's incident had already brought him a taste of infamy, so he hoped to use the sword of Dong Zhuo and other foreign generals to make them bear the bad reputation, and then he would do it again.
Unload the mill and kill the donkey.
Soon, when Yuan Shao, Yuan Shu, Cao Cao and others were wearing armor and holding swords, each leading several hundred elites to gather outside the imperial city, He Jin had already entered the palace all the way and was about to enter the Yongle Palace...
"You guys are waiting outside Yongle Palace. I can go in by myself, otherwise the Queen Mother will nag my brother for being domineering and disrespectful."
He Jin waved his hand, stepped in alone with his sword, and headed towards the Queen Mother's palace, muttering, "Huh! I am a general, and the emperor is my nephew, who dares to harm me! Ten constant servants, hum... ten constant servants
…”
In fact, when he first entered the Jiugong Gate, He Jin did have a trace of regret in his heart. He was a little careless and risked his own life. He led a few guards for a long way before he breathed a sigh of relief. He passed through several ambush sites along the way safely.
Then I felt relieved again.
Along the way to Yongle Palace, Fang could only walk ten steps when suddenly, twenty or thirty eunuchs in armor rushed out and surrounded He Jin.
Before He Jin could speak, Zhang Rang and others, holding swords in hand, shouted in a gloomy voice, "He Jin! You speak very rudely of us. You are a pig-slaughterer and a dog-killer, but you only got such a status with our help back then.
Instead of repaying kindness with kindness, you want to harm us! General? Huh! Come here, send the general who is in charge of the military power of the world to control the underworld soldiers!"
He Jin was frightened and hurriedly retreated. Zhang Rang and others flew forward with murderous intent, and within a few rounds, He Jin was besieged and stabbed to death.
Zhang Rang ordered He Jin's head to be cut off. With a ferocious look on his face, he pointed at He Jin's head and said to a eunuch: "Send the general out and let the rats outside the door take a look!"
Outside the palace, He Jin's head was thrown down, and a eunuch shouted loudly: "He Jin committed a heinous crime by assassinating the Queen Mother. He has already been beheaded. Those of you who abandon your weapons and retreat will be forgiven of your sins. Anyone who violates this will be complicit in the conspiracy."
Although the eunuch's fierce and angry shouts frightened the soldiers, they could not frighten Yuan Shao, Cao Cao and the others at all.
"Sure enough, a vulgar butcher is a vulgar butcher. If he fails to succeed, he will fail." Yuan Shu sneered, looking at Cao Cao and his brother Yuan Shao. Now the troops were gathered at the palace gate. I originally thought that the eunuch would take care of the troops outside the palace and at most capture them.
Holding him hostage, how dare he be so bold as to directly kill He Jin and burn him to death?
Originally, they wanted to enter the forbidden palace in the name of rescuing He Jin, but then they put the blame on He Jin. Now that He Jin is dead, the name of rescue can no longer be used. Now it depends on who dares to take up the name of revenge for He Jin.
Be the leader and storm into the palace.
At this time, Cao Cao, as if thinking of something, said: "The eunuch had known that the general called for foreign generals to lead troops into Luo. In such a situation, he dared to kill the general. There must be someone among the foreign generals who had an affair with the eunuch. Only then did he dare to kill the general."
We have nothing to fear, so we must make a quick decision now, otherwise our great situation will be reversed by Shi Changshi."
After Cao Cao became an eunuch, although most people were unwilling to interact with each other, he and Yuan Shao had known each other since childhood and became good friends. Yuan Shao believed in Cao Cao's talents and often listened to his advice. This made sense when he heard it: "What Meng De said
It's not possible, but we don't know yet which one of Dong Zhuo, Ding Yuan and Zhu Kui has colluded with the eunuchs near Luoyang."
"Hmph!" Yuan Shu snorted coldly: "Who else could it be? It must be Zhu Kui. He has a treacherous look on his face. My Yuan family has found out that he has many connections with Zhang Rang."
Cao Cao moved his lips, intending to say something, but seeing the Yuan brothers acting like this, he suppressed his thoughts and just advised Yuan Shao to make a quick decision.
Yuan Shao's face became more gloomy, but he hesitated to say anything. He was the most famous person. In order to honor his filial piety, he spent six years in mourning and refused repeated calls from Emperor Ling. Until the Yellow Turban Uprising, He Jin rose to power, and He Jin was able to quickly dominate the world. Yuan Shao
He held the most merit, so He Jin hated and loved him at the same time. He loved him for his talent, but hated that he always felt vulgar in front of him. As the power increased, domineering was inevitable.
Seeing that his brother was so timid, Yuan Shu was also disdainful. He had long been dissatisfied that Yuan Shao's name was above him, so he drew his sword and said: "Execute the ten regular servants and revive the great Han Dynasty. If you don't come, I will."
"Brothers, the ten permanent servants have kidnapped the emperor and the queen mother, and plotted to kill the general. Everyone rush into the palace with me, Qing Jun!"
Saying this, Yuan Shu ignored Cao Cao and Yuan Shao, waved his sword, and commanded his five hundred tiger men to attack the palace gate.
"Still so reckless!" Seeing his brother's violent behavior, Yuan Shao shook his head and said with great contempt: "Since the highway has taken the lead, how can Mengde and others fall behind? I hope that the eunuch rebellion can be quelled as soon as possible and the city gates can be closed.
Please order the foreign generals to withdraw their troops."
At this time, Yuan Shao's thinking was still very clear. He Jin had already cleared the emperor's side. In addition to summoning other generals to Luo in the name of eunuchs, if Shi Changshi was defeated and the four gates were closed, Dong Zhuo and Zhu Kui would have no name to enter the capital and had to retreat.
.
The majesty of the Han Dynasty is still there, but if he attacks Luoyang with unjust reputation and unjust words, he will be besieged by the princes of the world.
