Chapter 452 The emperor has no way, I should ask the emperor to abdicate

During the private meeting, He Jin faced Zhang Rang, Zhao Zhong and a series of great eunuchs, who almost cried his eyes out.

It's an apology and an expression of regret, saying that Yuan Wei is really not a thing, and he can't provide him with a promise of victory at all.

At first they thought they were awesome and able to cover everything, so they drifted away, but now they realized that they were too young to think about the problem comprehensively enough.

After thinking about it, they found that they still needed to form an alliance with the ten permanent servants to fight against the increasingly powerful alliance of Lu Zhi and Liu Bei.

In the face of He Jin's arrival, Zhang Rang, on behalf of Shi Changshi, used the kind of speech skills that He Jin and Yuan Kai had expected.

"We eunuchs, how dare we talk about cooperation with the honorable general? This really frustrates us! The general must not say that, we eunuchs are not worthy of the general's condescension."

Faced with Zhang Rang's yin and yang, He Jin was very upset, but he still decided to stabilize his emotions.

"Zhang Changshi, let's not talk about those meaningless words. The Xiyuan army, the emperor's own army, is the commander of Jian Shuo. Doesn't this incident prove anything?"

He Jin said slowly: "The emperor did not choose you, but chose Jian Shuo. This is the attitude of the emperor. The emperor is like this. Do you still think that you should stand on the side of the emperor? The situation in Luoyang has reached this point. Without the guarantee of military power, can you still sit back and relax?"

Zhang Rang didn't speak.

The rest of the attendants didn't speak either.

He Jin felt that his persuasion was effective, so he decided to further strengthen the offensive.

"The emperor doesn't trust him, and Jian Shuo flaunts his might. Can you endure such a thing? You have made great contributions to the emperor, but in the end it ended up like this. I feel worthless for you. And once Jian Shuo becomes powerful, once you If you are weak, what is waiting for you is to replace it?"

Visible to the naked eye, He Jin felt that the expressions of Zhang Rang and others changed.

There is no calmness before, only worry, dissatisfaction, and resentment remain.

Seeing Zhang Rang's expression like this, He Jin knew that he had made the right bet.

The eunuchs were not without resentment towards the emperor, they also resented, they also felt the emperor's alienation and guard against them, and they developed considerable emotions.

As long as this emotion is well grasped, He Jin feels that it is not impossible to reach a political alliance with the eunuchs again.

So he pursued the victory.

"The Son of Heaven is ruthless and ungrateful. It is the same for me and you. If this is the case, why don't we work together? The Son of Heaven who is ruthless and ungrateful should not be the Son of Heaven we serve. The Emperor Debate is the future we should serve. Son of Heaven, isn't it so?"

Zhang Rang showed a surprised expression when he heard this.

"Do you want to dethrone the emperor and establish a new monarch?"

"The Son of Heaven has no way, so I should ask the Son of Heaven to abdicate as the Supreme Emperor, and pass on the throne to a virtuous monarch. By serving a virtuous monarch, we will surely make the Han prosperous again. In this way, our duty as Han officials is not in vain. "

He Jin's face was full of righteousness: "Since ancient times, such things have happened, but as long as we have a bright heart and do righteous things, who can think that we have not done what we should do? "

These righteous and awe-inspiring words made Zhang Rang feel that He Jin had indeed grown up. If he had never known Liu Bei, then Zhang Rang felt that he was really likely to be persuaded by He Jin, agreed to his suggestion, and became his ally again.

Unfortunately, he already has a better and more trustworthy ally.

He Jin is a person who has betrayed once. Zhang Rang, as an old Jianghu, knows very well that there are only zero or countless times of betrayal. People who have betrayed once have no credibility and will never be trusted again, so he will not believe He Jin. Enter.

It's just that if there is no Liu Bei, he has no better choice.

Now with Liu Bei, of course he would not choose He Jin.

So he nodded.

"What you said still makes sense, but how can I believe that you won't abandon us again? Also, what can we gain if we take the risk to join hands with you?"

He Jin smiled, knowing that this matter is likely to be accomplished.

"In the current situation, the Son of Heaven has completely controlled Luoyang City, and the strength of the Yuan family and I can only be outside Luoyang City. Now every time I enter Luoyang City, I am cautious and cautious, for fear that I will be hunted down by the Son of Heaven.

It is absolutely impossible for Dong Zhong to be my friend. Behind him is the prince Xiehe Empress Dowager, he is a great threat to me, and he is the one who controls the defense of Luoyang City, so if I still care about my life, I need someone Support me in Luoyang City. "

Zhang Rang narrowed his eyes.

"You mean, I can support you?"

He Jin nodded.

"Zhang Changshi holds more than a thousand armed men in Dongyuan. Although these people are not many, they are also a powerful armed force in Luoyang City. I can't transfer the army into Luoyang City, so I will We can only rely on Zhang Changshi's protection, can't we?"

"I don't think I can protect myself."

Zhang Rang smiled wryly, "You really believe that I can keep you?"

"Yes, it's better than nothing. Yes, you can always fight for a chance of life, instead of entering Luoyang City like now and worrying about it."

He Jin nodded and said: "So Zhang Changshi doesn't need to worry about my bad actions at all, unless I don't even want my own life."

Zhang Rang nodded in approval of He Jin's analysis.

"This makes sense. I believe it. Then, what can I, and we, get next? Protecting you can be regarded as risking our lives."

He Jin nodded in approval.

"On this point, Yuan Shi and I both agree. Therefore, Zhang Changshi, and you Changshi, whatever you want, just say, as long as I can give it, I will give it. Anyway, after the prince argues for the throne, Who has the final say in this world, isn't it still a matter of one sentence?"

Zhang Rang looked at Zhao Zhong, and then at several other eunuchs with different faces.

Then they successively put forward the conditions that money, land, houses, and relatives would be expropriated to serve as officials, and all their property would not be affected.

Then Zhang Rang needs to continue to be a minister, and he must also control part of the Xiyuan Army as a pro-army.

Zhao Zhong also put forward the request to control a part of the West Garden Army.

He Jin had no doubts at all, and immediately nodded and agreed to all their conditions.

"As long as you are willing to cooperate with me, these things are trivial matters. If you risk your life to unite with me, how can I be reluctant to part with mere things outside of me? As long as the big things are successful, I will give you whatever you want!"

He Jin's generosity is hardly like himself.

So the ten permanent attendants had no doubts.

On behalf of Shi Changshi, Zhang Rang made an agreement with He Jin that the spies of Dongyuan will provide He Jin with the necessary protection, and will do their best to protect He Jin if necessary, at all costs.

Since then, He Jin has acquired a secret armed force in Luoyang City, but the ownership of this armed force has changed, and no one knows.

He Jin was very satisfied.

And when He Jin left, the eunuchs looked at me and I looked at you, and finally they turned their attention to Zhang Rang.

"What did I say?"

Zhang Rang sneered and said, "How could He Jin be Liu Xuande's opponent? Liu Xuande had expected that He Jin would join hands with us at all costs. When he talked with us, he could agree to any conditions, even military power." !

Liu Xuande also said that once He Jin agreed to the military power, it means that he has no sincerity and does not want to fulfill these promises at all, and is even ready to liquidate us afterwards. If we cooperate with him, we are seeking skins from tigers and courting death! "
