Chapter 884
The Qingzhou Yellow Turban had just been defeated by Gongsun Zan, and the defeated remnant soldiers encountered the Xuzhou army sent by Zheng Xiaoming.

Hundreds of thousands of Qingzhou Yellow Turbans with many refugees, the old and the weak, women and children, surrendered one after another.

Zheng Xiaoming settled in Qingzhou and Xuzhou...

As for the attitude of the governor of Qingzhou, Jiao He, whether he would like it or not, it is not his turn to speak now.

Because Qingzhou scholars longed for the stable environment of Xuzhou under Zheng Xiaoming's rule, and a large number of Qingzhou scholars served as officials in Xuzhou.

This time when Zheng Xiaoming sent troops abroad, he directly took the opportunity to control Qingzhou's political affairs.

The governor of Qingzhou Jiao He, whether he wants to or not, is now being emptied.

This gentleman was originally an incompetent person. In the original history, many people rebelled against their relatives, and finally worried about dying of illness.

Speaking of which, his fate is much better now!

However, when Zheng Xiaoming was packing up the Qingzhou yellow scarves, he did not expect that another shocking news would come from Luoyang.

That is the general He Jin was killed by the eunuch!
When he first heard the news, Zheng Xiaoming couldn't even believe it!
You must know that the He family has already controlled all the military power in Luoyang, and those eunuchs are already lambs waiting to be slaughtered, how can they turn against the wind and kill He Jin?
After careful questioning, I found out that this idiot He Jin was actually tricked into the palace by the eunuch, and then killed directly.

Zheng Xiaoming was quite speechless about this.However, these eunuchs are also looking for death. Given the current situation, do they think they can change the situation by killing He Jin?

No, this will only enrage the remnants of the General He's family, and even the entire scholar group, to retaliate wildly against the eunuchs.

After all, it is no longer the era of Emperor Han Heng!
In the era of Emperor Heng, the power of scholars was not as strong as it is now, let alone the military power.Therefore, once their ally, Dou Wu, the great general in charge of military power, was killed, he was helpless and had no choice but to restrain himself.

However, until now, especially after the Yellow Turban Rebellion, the scholars have already mastered a large amount of local military power, and Luoyang's military strength is still in the hands of the He family brothers.

Even if the eunuchs killed General He Jin, they would not be able to change the situation!
Sure enough, the situation in Luoyang did not exceed Zheng Xiaoming's expectations... No wonder!
Although the overall situation did not exceed Zheng Xiaoming's expectations, after General He Jin was killed, General Cheqi, Yuan Shao, Cao Cao, Wu Kuang, Dong Min and others from He Jin's remaining troops immediately attacked the palace and killed all of them. All the eunuchs in the country were killed... Even the beardless Lang Guan was killed by mistake!
None of this was beyond Zheng Xiaoming's expectation, but what happened next was too much beyond Zheng Xiaoming's expectation!
First of all, He Miao was actually attacked and killed by Wu Kuang, Dong Min and others under He Jin!
The reason is also very simple, because Empress Dowager He and He Miao have always been very close to the eunuch.This time He Jin was tricked into the palace by the eunuchs in the name of Empress Dowager He.

This made some of He Jin's loyal subordinates think that He Miao was also the murderer who killed He Jin, and then in order to avenge He Jin, they led troops to kill the chariot general He Miao.

These people don't understand the He family's trick of betting on both sides and buying on both sides.He Miao was actually killed just like that!
Once He Miao died, the He family was completely over.

Of course, this is not a bad thing for Zheng Xiaoming.On the contrary, it was considered a good thing, because the He family lost all power when Brother He Jin died.It should be Zheng Xiaoming's turn to take the position of the general!

However, what Zheng Xiaoming didn't expect was that when those guys like Zhang Rang and Zhao Zhong rebelled, they hijacked today's emperor Liu Bian and escaped from the palace. He was welcomed back to the palace by Dong Zhuo!
As for how this Dong Zhuo appeared in Luoyang?Shouldn't this guy be with Huangfusong in Sanfu, Chang'an, to resist Liangzhou's rebellion against the Qiang?How dare you lead your troops back to Luoyang privately?

But it was what that idiot He Jin did!
Under the influence of Empress Dowager He and He Miao, He Jin was somewhat half-hearted about killing eunuchs... He didn't really want to kill eunuchs.

Because He Jin also realized that once the eunuch was killed, it would be hard to say whether he would be regarded as the leader by the scholars and whether he could continue to control the government.

It can be said that Yuan Wei, the Taiwei who was in charge of the Shangshu with him, could easily push his general He Jin away with a little bit of ease by virtue of his rich political experience and the natural support of the scholars...

So He Jin didn't really want to kill the eunuchs, he just wanted those eunuchs to retreat and let the eunuchs be suppressed.

In the future, it is better to unite the eunuchs to fight against Yuan Wei.This is to prepare for the situation in the future!

He even thought of a best-effort idea, that is, instead of directly using troops to kill the eunuchs, he invited foreign soldiers into Luoyang to intimidate and threaten these eunuchs, threatening to kill all the eunuchs as soon as the foreign soldiers came...

Don't even think about it, He Jin really wants to kill people, with so many troops under him, how can he use foreign soldiers?

Just like what Bo Chenlin, the head of the Grand General's Mansion, said: the general has already controlled all the forbidden troops around Luoyang, and he only needs to follow the trend to kill the eunuchs, so why bother to recruit foreign soldiers.If you wait for the army from other places to gather, only the strong will be able to rule the roost.

Chen Lin was sincerely thinking about He Jin, but he didn't know that He Jin didn't want to really kill the eunuchs, but just wanted to intimidate them, make them obedient, and hand over their power.

It's just that they didn't expect that these eunuchs would dare to preemptively lure He Jin into the palace and kill him under such circumstances!
Again, this time is not the time for Emperor Han Heng.Back then, Cao Jie and other eunuchs killed the general Dou Wu and Chen Fan. It no longer fits the situation.

Therefore, the He family brothers and the eunuchs came to die together.

On the contrary, Dong Zhuo was regarded as a foreign soldier who was conscripted and transferred to Luoyang!

As for why Huangfusong was not recruited?
Huangfusong is now in command of the army in Chang'an!
Of course, it was because Huangfusong was old and famous, and it was difficult to control him when he came to Luoyang.

Or the simple Dong Zhuo is easy to deal with... But it's not the same!

As for why Zheng Xiaoming was not allowed to lead troops into the capital?Even concealed the news from Zheng Xiaoming from beginning to end?

Just kidding, Zheng Xiaoming is also a relative!If he is really asked to lead the army into Luoyang, who will listen to whom?
It was Dong Zhuo who didn't have enough reputation and was a simple martial artist who was easy to control, so Dong Zhuo was allowed to lead troops into Beijing.

After figuring out all the things that happened in Luoyang, Zheng Xiaoming's face was gloomy, and he quickly rejected the meeting with those shogunate officials and returned to the inner palace.

He really paced back and forth, and soon someone reported: "Chen Yuanlong is here to see you!"

A smile appeared on Zheng Xiaoming's face: "Please!"
