Han family achievements

Chapter 29

They are killing people!

As soon as the guard's voice fell, everyone was shocked!
Captain Sili killed someone?Killing someone, are you going to break into the palace again to kill someone?

Empress Dowager He panicked, looking at the red flames outside the palace, the sound of shouting and killing seemed to be right in front of her eyes, she pulled Liu Bian and asked anxiously, "Bian'er, is it, is it your uncle?"

Liu Bian's face was as sinking as water, and he knew nothing about the situation outside.

But now is not the time to pursue this. He took a deep breath, pressed one hand of Queen Mother He, looked at Pan Yin and said, "You must pass the decree immediately. Everyone in the palace is not allowed to move around and stay where they are. Order Cao Cao to come immediately." See me! All the gates of the palace are closed, no one is allowed to come in and out!"

Liu Bian said, and said again: "Someone go and bring the King of Bohai here. Jian Shuo, you protect me and the Queen Mother, and go to the Jiade Palace."

"Yes." A group of people responded and hurriedly escorted Liu Bian to the Jiade Hall.

Empress Dowager He panicked and followed Liu Bian closely.

When he arrived at the Jiade Palace, Cao Cao, dressed in armor, led his troops to the front, and said with a dignified look: "Cao Cao, my minister, sees Your Majesty!"

Seeing him, Liu Bian felt a little relieved, sat on a chair, looked outside the palace gate, and said, "Excuse me. Do you know what happened?"

Cao Cao straightened up and said, "Return to Your Majesty. I have inquired before I came. It was ordered by Lieutenant Sili. The specific reason is unknown. There is chaos outside the palace, and the Habayashi Army is arresting and killing people everywhere."

"Where are the generals?" Empress Dowager He became anxious when she heard this.

Cao Cao bowed and said, "I don't know."

Liu Bian sat on the chair, although his face was still a little stiff, but his heart was quite calm.

With Cao Cao and Jian Shuo's Forbidden Army around, even if something happens outside, he is sure to deal with it.

He took the teacup Pan Yin handed over, passed it to Empress Dowager He, and said with a smile: "Mother, don't worry, with me here, today, it won't collapse!"

Empress Dowager He took Liu Bian's teacup, looked at him reluctantly nodding, her face was full of worry.

Cao Cao observed Liu Bian quietly with narrow eyes, and was quite surprised by his calmness.

"I see Your Majesty, Empress Dowager."

At this time, a group of guards guarded Liu Xie and entered through the side door.

Eight-year-old Liu Xie, with an immature face, saluted Liu Bian and Empress Dowager He calmly.

Liu Bian looked at him and said, "Come here, bring a chair for the emperor."

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

Liu Xie responded in a neither humble nor overbearing manner, while he was quietly sizing up Liu Bian from the corner of his eye.

He and Liu Bian are both in the palace, although they don't meet many times, they can be regarded as getting to know each other.

Detaining Zhang Rang and others, driving away his grandmother, beating He Jin three times and four times... These behaviors are not at all the timid brother he knew.

The shouts and killings outside the palace are loud, but he is still so calm?

Liu Bian sat on the chair, looking out of the palace, the flames were soaring into the sky, coming and going, turning and turning, like a fire dragon swimming fast.

'What exactly is He Jin going to do? '

Thinking in his heart, he suddenly looked at Cao Cao who was not far in front of him, and said with a smile, "I heard that the general and the general had some quarrels today?"

Cao Cao bowed and said, "It was the humble minister who offended the general, please forgive me, Your Majesty."

Liu Bian nodded and said, "To the general, we should show some respect."

"Yes." Cao Cao said, but there was no emotion on his face.

Liu Bian narrowed his eyes and stared at Cao Cao.It is rumored in Beijing that Cao Cao is a slutty, lustful, and reckless person.

He glanced at Jian Shuo on the left side again. This person lowered his head respectfully, with a visibly nervous expression.

Empress Dowager He seemed to sense that the atmosphere was not right, she took Liu Bian's hand and said in a low voice, "Bian'er, what happened outside?"

Liu Bian smiled and said, "This, I want to know too."

Empress Dowager He twitched her mouth, grabbed Liu Bian, and looked outside the palace gate nervously.

Liu Bian looked around, saw that everyone was here, and waved to Pan Yin.

Pan Yin stepped forward in small steps and said, "Your Majesty."

"Give me "Tai Shi Ji"." Liu Bian said.

Pan Yin responded, turned around and asked someone to get it.

After a while, I found it. Liu Bian took it and looked at it seriously.

"Taishiji", better known as "Historical Records", was compiled by Sima Qian, a historian of the Western Han Dynasty.

In addition to practicing calligraphy, Liu Bian has been reading this book recently, especially the part about Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, which he especially loves to read.

The "Tai Shi Ji" in his hand is much more detailed than that of later generations, and it is an unabridged version.

At this time, paper was still a rare item, and only wealthy families could afford it, while the nobles despised paper and used silk more.

As time passed slowly, Liu Bian read each page carefully and earnestly.

It's not that he doesn't want to read it faster, there are really a lot of "uncommon words" and some words have meaning, so he has to figure it out carefully.

The shouting and killing outside continued, and even the guards reported one after another that people kept breaking into the palace.

Liu Bian remained motionless, touched his lower lip with his index finger, and turned the page to continue.

Cao Cao, Jian Shuo, Pan Yin and others saw that Liu Bian was as immovable as a mountain, and they were originally nervous, but they quietly relaxed unconsciously.

After a full two hours, the faint sound of cock crowing was heard, and the flames outside the palace diminished, and the shouts of killing gradually stopped.

Pan Yin couldn't bear it anymore, stepped forward and whispered: "Your Majesty, do you want to open the palace gate and send someone to investigate?"

Liu Bian flipped the pages of the book and said, "Wait a little longer."

"Yes." Pan Yin stepped back cautiously.

Cao Cao looked at Liu Bian, frowning in thought.

At this time, the Habayashi Army outside the palace began to reorganize and belong to the establishment.

Outside the Nangong Palace, not far from the Xuanwu Gate.

Many soldiers gathered together, holding high the torches.

In the middle, He Jin was wearing armor with a full face, staring fiercely at Ting Wei Xuan Fan who was kneeling on the ground in front of him, raised his right hand holding the knife, and wiped the blood on the helmet.

Xuan Fan was so frightened that he collapsed on the ground and said in a trembling voice: "General, I have nothing to do with those twelve permanent servants, why are you arresting me?"

He Jin's eyes were bloodshot, his murderous intent was evident, and he said: "Do you really think that this old man doesn't know about your relationship with the eunuch Zhao Zhong? Say, who ordered you to go to the palace to falsely accuse this old man last night!"

Xuan Fan's face was pale without any trace of blood, looking at He Jin, his whole body was icy cold, terrified to the extreme, and said: "No, no, no one ordered it, it was they who reported it, and I, as a court lieutenant, should..."

puff
Before Xuan Fan finished speaking, Yuan Shu, who was behind him, glanced at He Jin, swung his knife fiercely, and chopped off Xuan Fan's head!

The head rolled, the eyes were wide open, and the expression was terrified.

Yuan Shu kicked it away, stepped forward covered in blood, and said fiercely, "General."

He Jin looked at Xuan Fan's body, wiped the sword in his hand, and said, "Who else?"

Yuan Shu looked towards the east of the city, and said, "General, according to your list, only General Hussars is left."

"Dong Zhong!"

There was a chill in He Jin's eyes, and he said, "He has nothing to do with today's matter, let's go!"

Yuan Shu followed him, and said: "The general said that the hussar general sent someone to assassinate you?"

He Jin got on his horse, the flesh on his face was twitching constantly, he stared at the direction of Dong Zhong's mansion, and said, "Who else but him!"

Yuan Shu mounted his horse and said, "General, he is General Hussars, we..."

He Jin ignored him, he had already ridden his horse, and headed straight to General Hussar's mansion.

Not far away is Huangfusong's mansion.

Huangfu Jianchang hid in the door and looked out through a gap. Hearing the approaching hoofbeats, his heart trembled and his fingers trembled.

A servant hurried over and said in a low voice, "Second Young Master, it's the Habayashi Army, the general's soldiers."

Huangfu Jianchang looked at the flames outside the wall, and said, "Where's dad?"

The servant said: "The master left the city yesterday, so he should not be in the city."

Huangfu Jian heaved a sigh of relief and said, "That's good, that's good."

He still didn't dare to be careless, seeing the fire gradually approaching, he shrank his neck, his body seemed to be shaking, trembling non-stop.

It wasn't until the torch passed through the gate and drifted away that it slowly collapsed on the ground and murmured, "How many people are going to be killed..."

Hussar General's Mansion.

The Habayashi Army was heavily surrounded, and the torches were as bright as day.

The door was closed tightly, and Dong Zhong behind the door was wearing heavy armor, with a terrified expression, holding the knife tightly in both hands, holding it high above his head, and staring at the door.

Behind him are more than 30 powerful servants, also armed with knives, ready to fight.

A servant behind Dong Zhong stepped forward in fear, and said: "Master, I heard from the brothers who came back from the outside to find out that the Yulin Army killed Zhao Taiwei, Ma Taifu and more than ten people from the whole family, and none of them were left alive... "

Dong Zhong gritted his teeth, his heart flustered to the extreme, but he insisted: "Even if He Jin is red-eyed, he will not dare to kill me! I am the relative nephew of Empress Dowager Dong, and I am the hussy of His Majesty's imperial decree. Cavalry General, if he doesn’t have the will to kill me, that’s treason!”

Hearing what Dong Zhong said, the uneasy expressions of the servants eased a little.

"Dong Zhong thief, come out!"

At this time, outside the gate, He Jin's shout suddenly sounded!
Dong Zhong was startled, he straightened his neck, and shouted through the door: "General, I am Your Majesty's hussar general. If you don't have a will, don't surround my mansion!"

"Dong Zhong, you are guilty of plotting to assassinate the great general! Colluding with the eunuchs and bringing chaos to the government is a heinous crime!"

Yuan Shudang drew his saber and said loudly: "If you are arrested without a fight, you can still reduce your crime. If you dare to gather a crowd to resist orders, you will be punished on the spot!"

Hearing the sound of the sword being drawn, Dong Zhong's neck turned cold, and he roared immediately: "Fart! He Jin, there is no will. If you dare to kill me, His Majesty will not spare you!"

Outside the door, He Jin was sitting on a tall horse, his face under the firelight showed no expression, but it was even more fierce.

Yuan Shu glanced at him, strode forward with a knife in his hand, and said, "Dong Zhong plotted to assassinate the general, colluded with the eunuch party, resisted the order and disrespected, the crime is unforgivable!"

The guards of the Habayashi Army got the order and started banging on the door, and some soldiers climbed over the wall and jumped into the courtyard.

The guards who jumped into the courtyard didn't talk nonsense at all, they killed anyone they saw, and rushed towards Dong Zhong in a swarm.

Seeing that he was surrounded, and the door was about to be rushed open, Dong Zhong was so frightened that he almost couldn't hold the knife, panicked, and defended from left to right.

His servants were resisting, but they couldn't compare to the increasing number of Habayashi soldiers, and corpses were everywhere in the blink of an eye.

砰

A door was knocked open, Yuan Shu was covered in blood, and with a cold killing intent on his face, he walked straight towards Dong Zhong with a knife in his hand.

Dong Zhong was trembling all over, angry and sad at the same time, seeing that he couldn't escape, he looked up to the sky and roared angrily: "He Jin, you will die!"

After finishing speaking, he stabbed the knife horizontally on his neck, gritted his teeth, closed his eyes suddenly, and touched the knife in his hand across his neck.

When the knife fell to the ground, Dong Zhong fell to the ground with a deep sense of unwillingness.

The Habayashi Army killed the rest of the servants in the blink of an eye, and then rushed into the courtyard, killing everyone they saw, leaving no one behind. The screams echoed in the dark night, which was extremely ear-piercing.

Yuan Shu looked at Dong Zhong's body, turned to He Jin, and said, "General, Dong Zhong committed suicide in fear of crime."

He Jin snorted coldly, his eyes were indifferent, he looked up to see the light of the sky, he was silent for a moment, turned his horse's head, and said, "Enter the palace!"

Yuan Shu's expression changed suddenly, he quickly chased after him, and said, "General, enter the palace?"

Yuan Shao hasn't released the last palace change yet, so do you want to do it again?

He Jin beat his horse and said, "Return to the palace."

Yuan Shu breathed a sigh of relief, got on his horse and followed He Jin.

As the two turned to the palace, the Habayashi army began to wind down, and the soldiers on the street returned one after another, leaving only blood and corpses everywhere.

The huge city of Luoyang was like hell on this night.

Inside the Guardian Hall.

Liu Bian was still slowly turning the pages of the book, this was the second time he had read it.

As time passed, he could no longer concentrate on reading the book, and he was thinking about the situation outside and the situation he might face.

'He Jin, how far will he go? Liu Bian thought silently, his way of coping depends on how far He Jin has gone.

"Report to Your Majesty, the Habayashi Army has withdrawn their troops." A guard of the imperial guard hurried in and knelt down on one knee.

The oppressive silence of the hall suddenly loosened. Empress Dowager He looked at the guard and asked anxiously, "Where is the general?"

The guard said: "I don't know for now."

Liu Bian remained motionless, his eyes were on the pages of the book, and he said, "Cao Cao, Jian Shuo, send people out of the palace to investigate."

"Yes." Cao Cao and Jian Shuo agreed.

In fact, they couldn't bear it long ago, but their emperor was too calm and kept reading, so he had to forcibly endure it.

Empress Dowager He was unconsciously nervous, looked at Liu Bian and said, "Bian'er, tell me, what is your uncle doing?"

Even if you want to arrest the henchmen of the eunuch party, you don't need such a battle.

Liu Bian didn't know the whole story yet, but He Jin's act of using troops without asking for an order in advance and acting recklessly made him very angry!
He put down the book, took the teacup Pan Yin handed over, looked quietly out of the door, and said, "I don't know either. The previous time was a palace change, this time it was a city closure to kill people."

Empress Dowager He didn't know much about it, she also realized that something was wrong, she looked at Liu Bian with hesitation and said, "Bian'er, he is your uncle after all, we have to rely on him outside the palace."

Liu Bian nodded silently, and said in his heart: "Temporary."

He has not yet held the enthronement ceremony, he needs He Jin to stabilize the situation, give him time, let the courtiers, let the world know and accept him as the new emperor.

Not long after, Jian Shuo came back in a hurry, his face turned pale, his legs were trembling, he couldn't even stand still, he staggered and fell down with a thud, he rolled and crawled forward, and said in a trembling voice: "Your Majesty, Your Majesty! General, no, Taiwei Zhao, Taifu Ma, General Hushi, Lieutenant Xuan Ting... and also, Zhao Zhong, Zhang Rang, etc... They were all wiped out, not a single one was left alive..."

Liu Bian's face changed in horror, he stood up suddenly, and said loudly: "You said, exterminate the clan? The Taiwei, Taifu, Dong Zhong, and Xuan Fan were all exterminated...how many people died?"

Jian Shuo knelt on the ground, shoulders huddled together, trembling, and said, "I don't know for now, but it is estimated that there are at least 5000 people..."

A high-ranking family often lives in a large compound for several generations. There are as few as a dozen or as many as hundreds of clan members, and there are several times more maidservants and servants.

An extermination of a family can easily kill hundreds of people!
"Five thousand..."

Liu Bian couldn't believe that He Jin killed more than 5000 people overnight!

Liu Bian felt anger, panic, and even a hint of panic in his heart.

5000 people!
He had never seen such a situation before, let alone dared to think about it!
Liu Bian suppressed the shock in his heart, took a deep breath, and said, "Where are the generals?"

Jian Shuo said: "The general is already on his way into the palace with Yuan Shu, the lieutenant of the Sili school."

Hearing this, Liu Bian sat back slowly, his face hardened, and he was anxiously thinking about how to deal with the current situation.

He Jin killed so many people, including the former Sangong, Jiuqing, the current court lieutenant, Hussar General, which one is not an important official of the court, how can he be disposed of at will, let alone exterminate the clan!

The most important thing is that He Jin is so ruthless. After dawn, when the news spreads out of Luoyang City, how will those state shepherds, governors, and generals who are entangled with the twelve permanent servants and holding heavy soldiers react?
