Chapter 34 Diluted
He Jin was in the Empress Dowager He's palace, trying his best to comfort his mother, Lord Wuyang, He Miao, his younger sister and other He family members, and hurried out of the palace at dawn.

When he went out of the palace gate, he saw yamen servants sweeping up the blood everywhere, all of them feared him like a tiger, bowed their heads, not daring to breathe.

Without squinting, He Jin got into the carriage, sat upright, with a face like steel, and said in a deep voice, "Go back to the house."

At this moment, every household opened their windows and opened their doors, talking about what happened last night.

All kinds of rumors are circulating quickly.

"I heard that the general led his troops last night and killed all eunuchs!"

"What is killing the eunuch party? It's just that the party is united against dissidents. The general is going to dominate the court!"

"The general's method is really... strong, I heard that more than 1 people died last night!"

"It is said that more than 30 big clans have been wiped out, ranging from [-] to tens of thousands! Didn't you see? There is no one on the street!"

"Tens of thousands of people? This, this, what should I do..."

Even though He Jin was sitting in the carriage, the discussions in the public soon reached his ears.

His face became ugly, his eyes were angry, and his heart was full of depression that could not be vented.

Back at the mansion, as soon as he entered the door, he saw a large group of people waiting for him. They were all the guests of the General’s Mansion, Chen Lin, Feng Ji, He Yong, Xun You, etc. Everyone looked at him nervously and fearfully. .

He Jin paused, glanced coldly at the crowd, strode inside, and said in a low voice, "Kong Zhang is here with the old man!"

Everyone had a thousand words to say about what happened last night. Seeing He Jin, they didn't want to say more, and then looked at Chen Lin.

Chen Lin sighed in her heart. She wanted to leave yesterday, but she didn't. Now it might be even harder to leave.

He ignored other people's gazes, and followed He Jin all the way to the side room in the back hall.

He Jin untied his sword, knelt down in front of the small table, looked at Chen Lin who was still standing not far away, and said solemnly, "Kong Zhang, sit up."

Chen Lin has been observing He Jin, and when she heard this, she knelt down and sat opposite He Jin.

He Jin lost the majestic and domineering fierce look before, but instead looked hesitant, as if he didn't know how to speak.

Chen Lin looked at him with a lot of confusion in her heart.

Although He Jin's character is strong and has a ruthless side, which has something to do with his background, but this night, more than 5000 people were massacred, and he still couldn't believe it.

After a while, He Jin looked up at Chen Lin, and said, "Kong Zhang, someone assassinated the old man last night. In a panic, the old man ordered the Habayashi Army to arrest people according to the list. But those people gathered to resist and killed the officers and soldiers. Therefore, Things got bigger."

Listening to He Jin's words, Chen Lin knew that there was a reason behind it, so she didn't rush to speak.

Seeing that Chen Lin was silent, He Jin frowned, untied his clothes, and said irritably, "It's not yet May."

He picked up the teapot again, took a big gulp, and without wiping his mouth, said to Chen Lin, "Kong Zhang, last night, the Habayashi Army was so red-eyed that they were no longer under the control of this old man. Killed too many people."

Chen Lin's expression changed slightly, and she said, "Then why didn't the general stop him and kill Xuan Fan and General Hussars?"

He Jin felt depressed, watching Chen Lin hesitate to speak, and finally said with a serious expression: "Don't hide it from Kong Zhang, the old man really has selfish intentions! Now that he has reached that point, he can simply cut off the eunuchs completely! As for Dong Zhong, the assassin People, with the Dong family emblem."

From He Jin's few words, Chen Lin felt that there was a big problem with what happened last night. It seemed logical, but it was too unreasonable.

He thought about it, and said slowly: "Yuan Gonglu...is there no control?"

He Jindao: "He is General Huben Zhonglang, he can't control the Habayashi Army, and the soldiers mobilized from various places are too complicated, he can't control it."

Chen Lin's heart jumped suddenly, and if she was alert, her expression became cautious.

He Jin's words seemed to be explaining why so many people were killed, so he might have doubts.

Chen Lin didn't want to get involved with He Jin's affairs, but she knew that He Jin would not let him go if she didn't say anything, so she murmured, "General, seems to be worried? Is it the palace?"

Most of He Jin's recent troubles came from the palace, he nodded and said: "The Queen Mother and Your Majesty seem to be partial to the eunuchs..."

Chen Lin's heart is like a bright mirror, the ones in the palace are not eunuchs, but people and forces that can check and balance He Jin.

This He Jin was still immersed in the ecstasy that his sister was the empress dowager and his nephew was the emperor, and he didn't understand the change of his status with the palace.

He Jin can’t be blamed entirely, as it is often said that one person ascends to heaven, and the new His Majesty was supported by He Jin, his own uncle. According to common sense, the new emperor will appreciate He Jin, reward He Jin, and give He Jin an official rank. minister.

It was a surprise that the newly succeeded young emperor was not an ordinary person and did not follow common sense.

"I heard that Jian Shuo gave generous gifts to Lord Wuyang and General Cheqi, and they kept in touch frequently." Chen Lin mentioned He Jin not once or twice, but this time she didn't want to worry about it anymore.

He Jin's eyes widened, his expression was serious, and he said, "These old men know. What I want to ask Kong Zhang is, what should I do next."

Chen Lin looked at He Jin, and somewhat understood the purpose of this private interview.

After killing so many people, He Jin is a little scared, he needs a safe plan to deal with the aftermath!

Chen Lin sighed in her heart, thinking of leaving today, she simply helped the last time and asked, "General, the palace..."

He Jin remained expressionless, and said: "There is no need to worry in the palace, the queen mother is my sister."

Chen Lin thought about it for a while, and with the Empress Dowager here, that young majesty would not move He Jin for the time being. After thinking about it, she said, "General, there are four things to do now: In addition to the fault of the party, we must find a way to make the government and the public hate the eunuch party even more, and understand the achievements of the general. Second, contact the courtiers, agree with each other, quickly settle the case, and overthrow the matter. Third, for those who have been exterminated, if If you are alive, you must comfort them well. Finally, calm people's hearts and let His Majesty hold the enthronement ceremony as soon as possible."

He Jin stood up when he heard this, his face relaxed all the time, and said: "It's Kong Zhang who won the heart of this old man!"

For the first three, He Jin thought they were all "barely", but the "last" one surprised him.

The new emperor's enthronement ceremony is a top priority and can dilute everything!
However, his eyes turned cold immediately, and he said, "Before that, I have to do one more thing."

Chen Lin stood up and said, "What is the general going to do?"

He Jin turned to smile and said: "Kong Zhang, I said before that you can choose the official position in Beijing, do you mean it?"

Chen Lin paused, then sighed, and said: "Thanks to the General's love, I wanted to start a career in Beijing. I received a letter from home the day before yesterday. My mother has been ill for many days. I am really worried and want to go back to my hometown to serve my mother."

He Jin looked at Chen Lin and suspected that Chen Lin was afraid and wanted to run away.

He was reluctant to part with Chen Lin, but Chen Lin had helped him a lot just now, and she was a 'mother-in-law', so he couldn't force him to stay.

After a long time, He Jin said in a deep voice: "This is human nature. The old man asked the mansion to prepare enough salary and send someone to escort Kong Zhang back to his hometown."

Chen Lin could accept 'preparing sufficient salary', but she couldn't accept sending someone, so she hurriedly said: "The general is in a hurry, but Lin can't follow her around. Take care, General."

He Jin didn't expect Chen Lin to leave in such a hurry, he felt a little bit reluctant, and said: "Then, Kong Zhang, take care all the way, if the family is healthy, please come to Beijing to help me."

"Thank you, General, for your kindness!" Chen Lin raised her hands and bowed deeply, feeling relieved. He was really worried that He Jin would not let him go.
