The Power of the Three Kingdoms at the End of the Han Dynasty and the Imperial Power of the Han Dyna

Yuan Shaotu had a hard time seeing it and revealed his ultimate goal.

He ordered foreign soldiers to enter the capital with great fanfare. The biggest purpose was to make the conflict public and let the eunuchs and He Jin completely break up and fight each other.

His ultimate goal is to kill one person and injure the other, or even for both forces to perish together!
When King Hejian entered Luoyang, he had no choice but to cooperate with the nobles. This was his plan.

His uncle Yuan Wei was co-leading the Secretariat with He Jin at this time; he, Yuan Shao, was He Jin's first general; and his younger brother Yuan Shu controlled the most important Huben army in the palace.

Even if Liu Han didn't like Runan Yuan anymore, he would have to hold his nose and admit it.

In the future, if we try to find a way to get rid of this King of Hejian in the court, that big man will belong to his Yuan family!
Those who steal the hook will be punished, and those who steal the country will be martyred.

The idea was beautiful, but the reality was very harsh. He Jingang made up his mind to kill the eunuchs and summon foreign troops into Luoyang. Within two days, all of Luoyang knew about it.

Of course the eunuchs also knew, and He Jin had murderous intentions towards them.

"Those who strike first will gain the upper hand, and those who strike later will suffer disaster. Since He Jin is unkind, then don't blame us for being unjust!"

Zhang Rang knew that it was impossible to wait blindly for the King of Hejian to come to the capital. That would be to just sit back and wait for death. It was better to fight to the death!
"Although He Jin has few plans and decisive decisions, who among the ministers behind him doesn't hate us? Without their instigation, how could He Jin dare to establish the emperor before the death of the late emperor? If we hesitate any longer, we will be in danger."

The ministers reached an agreement and plotted to lure He Jin into the palace and kill him.

The news that He Jin summoned foreign troops to the capital and killed the eunuchs spread throughout Luoyang, and everyone loyal to the Han Dynasty knew that he had made a foolish move.

First, Cao Cao hurriedly walked into the General's Mansion and saw Yuan Shao and Chief Secretary Chen Lin (alias Kong Zhang) sitting below He Jin. He knew that this idea came from Yuan Shao.

Cao Cao saluted and said: "Cao Cao meets the general!"

He Jin motioned for Cao Cao to sit down, "Yes."

Cao Cao: "General, it's easy to eliminate the eunuchs, so why bother discussing it? Just handing over the matter to a jailer is enough, so why call in foreign troops to the capital?"

He Jin waved to Cao Cao to come forward and speak, "Is one jailer enough?"

Cao Cao: "One jailer is enough! We only need to eliminate the culprit in this matter, why do we have to eliminate them all? If we want to kill them all, the matter will be leaked, and I predict that they will be defeated."

He Jin didn't believe Cao Cao's words at all, "Oh! I remembered that Meng Den was a eunuch, so he had an affair."

Cao Cao looked at He Jin angrily: "You!"

He Jin stroked his beard and laughed: "Hahaha...!"

Cao Cao angrily waved his sleeves and walked out of the General's Mansion. He Jin was so comatose. It must have been Yuan Shao who instigated him during this period. He stopped outside the door of the General's Mansion and couldn't help but mutter to himself: "Those who mess up the world, Why should we advance?"

In addition, many people advised him not to call in foreign troops into Luoyang, otherwise the situation would most likely get out of hand.

Zheng Tai, the minister's minister, openly told He Jin: "Dong Zhuo is violent and cruel, and has endless ambitions. If you rely on him to do important affairs of the government, you will let his violence and ambitions go unchecked, which will definitely endanger the court. Ming Gong is a relative of the emperor, and he has assistants." Political powers should insist on making their own decisions and punishing guilty people. It is really not suitable to rely on Dong Zhuo as assistance. Moreover, things will change if they drag on for a long time. Dou Wu's incident is a lesson from the past."

(Zheng Tai (151~191), courtesy name Gongye, was born in Kaifeng, Xingyang, and belonged to the Zheng family in Xingyang.)
However, He Jin has been completely brainwashed and doesn't listen at all.

A series of powerful local officials such as Dong Zhuo, Wang Kuang, Qiao Mao, and Ding Yuan began to move closer to Luoyang. Qiao Mao, the prefect of Dongjun, settled in Chenggao; Ding Yuan also burned Hangu Pass to build momentum to kill the eunuchs; Dong Zhuo side While running, he wrote: "Zhongchang's attendant Zhang Rang and others stole the favor and took advantage of it, causing chaos in the sea. In the past, Zhao Yang promoted the army of Jinyang to drive away the evil on the side of the emperor. The ministers often rang bells and drums like Luoyang to ask for concessions."

Dong Zhuo's metaphor is very inappropriate. The Zhao Yang he gave as an example is the prequel director of three companies. This is like a girl claiming in a big way that she wants to be like the good wife Pan Jinlian and learn to prepare medicine for her husband to cure his illness.

When He Jin received the news that the Queen Mother summoned him to the palace, he didn't think much and got up and entered the palace.

Chen Lin knew that there was no room for any surprises at this time, so she reminded: "General! You are not allowed to enter the palace."

He Jin was displeased: "Why?"

Chen Lin: "This edict from the Queen Mother must be Zhang Rang and Zhao Zhong's plan. General, you must not go! There will be disaster if you go."

He Jin didn't take it seriously, "What a joke! My biological sister summoned me, what's the trouble?"

Yuan Shao hoped that both He Jin and the eunuchs would lose in the fight, but he did not want He Jin to die in vain. At least he would squeeze out all the value of his use before he died: "The general is trying to summon foreign troops to the capital, but his plot has been revealed and his actions have been done." Lu, can you still enter the palace at this time?"

Cao Cao also followed up and said: "If you want to enter the palace to meet the Queen Mother, you must first summon Zhang Rang, Duan Gui and others to leave the palace, and then you can enter."

He Jin: "This is just a child's opinion! I hold the power of the world, how dare the ten constant servants treat me?"

Yuan Shao: "General, we must go. We will escort you with armor in case of any unexpected events."

He Jin: "Okay! Don't worry too much." He Jin lost to his arrogance. He thought that the eunuchs did not dare to touch him, at least until the King of Hejian came, the eunuchs did not dare to touch him.

But when he entered the palace, he did not see the Queen Mother. Instead, Zhang Rang, Duan Gui and other eunuchs followed He Jin with sharp knives in hand. He turned around, and as a result, several swords and halberds blocked his way.

"I regret not listening to Kong Zhang's words, my life is at stake!"

He Jin died in the palace. He died miserably, like a dead dog.

Yuan Shao occupies most of this responsibility, because he secretly continued to create trouble for both parties.

Dong Zhuo's men arrived very quickly and had already reached Mianchi from Hedong. He Jin hesitated at first and sent people to stop Dong Zhuo, but Dong Zhuo no longer accepted the order and began to lead his army to Henan.

He Jin then sent an admonishment doctor Zhong Shao Xuanzhao to let Dong Zhuo stop and return to the army!

Dong Zhuo suspected that the political situation in Luoyang had changed and threatened Zhong Shao to ask about the situation in Luoyang. However, Zhong Shao reprimanded him and retreated to Sunset Pavilion.

The Yuan family is quitting. People are almost here. If you don't let people in, how can I, the Yuan family, control the court?

After Yuan Shao took over the "Sili Xiaowei's Holiday", he ordered people to spy on the eunuchs (Shao sent Luoyang Fanglue and military officials to inspect the eunuchs), and then urged Dong Zhuo and others to continue to write letters to expand the situation! (And urged Dong Zhuo and others to send a memorial to Chiyi)

Then they continued to stir up trouble in secret and put pressure on both sides. Yuan Shao on He Jin's side said that foreign soldiers were going to Beijing to ask for an explanation, and he also sent a message to the eunuchs that He Jin wanted to kill you!

At the critical moment when He Jin was preparing to release the eunuchs and return home, Yuan Shao notified various states and county officials with official documents, using He Jin's name to arrest the eunuchs' relatives. (Shao also sent letters to various states and counties, deceitfully announced his intention to advance, and ordered the arrest of relatives of middle-ranking officials)
Yuan Shao relied on the key role of He Jin's confidant to block the final possibility of the eunuchs returning home.

In the end, a dog-eat-dog drama officially kicked off. The eunuch killed He Jin. Yuan Shao finally took action, and the bloodbath against the eunuchs began.

First, Wu Kuang and Zhang Zhang, He Jin's trilogy, heard that He Jin was murdered, and wanted to lead troops into the palace, but the gate of the palace was closed.

Yuan Shu, Wu Kuang and others began to attack the palace together, hacking down the palace gate with knives, and threatening the palace to hand over Zhang Rang and others. (Hu Ben Zhonglang attacked Yuan Shu and Kuang together)
Yuan Shao and his uncle Yuan Wei falsely conveyed the imperial edict, summoned Fan Ling and Xu Xiang, and had them executed. (Yuan Shao and his uncle Wei Jiao summoned Fan Ling and Prime Minister Xu and beheaded them)

He Jin's subordinate Wu Kuang and others have always resented He Miao for not agreeing with He Jin, and were instigated to say that He Miao wanted to kill his brother and take the position.

Who instigated it?
Yuan Shu!
Wu Kuang ordered the whole army: "The person who killed the general was He Miao, the chariot general. Can the soldiers avenge the general?"

All the soldiers cried and said: "May I die!"

Wu Kuang led his troops and together with Dong Min, Dong Zhuo's younger brother, Captain Fengche, killed He Miao again, uprooting the extra-palace influence of the He family. (Kuang Sui led his troops and Dong Zhuo's brother Feng Che Duwei to attack and kill Miao)
The eunuchs held Empress Dowager He, Young Emperor Liu Bian, and King Chenliu Liu Xie hostage, and hijacked other officials in the palace to flee toward the North Palace through the Tianqiao Pavilion Road.

Yuan Shao closed the North Palace Gate and began to send troops to capture the eunuchs, young and old, and killed them all. A total of more than [-] people were killed. Some people were accidentally killed because they did not have beards, and the entire palace was bloodbathed.

On August 27, Zhang Rang, Duan Gui and others were trapped in the palace and had no choice but to escape from the palace with dozens of people including Liu Bian and Liu Xie.

At night, when they arrived at Xiaopingjin, they didn't bring the six jade seals used by the emperor.

Min Gong from central Henan arrived at the bank of the Yellow River at night. Min Gong sternly rebuked Zhang Rang and others: "Why don't you die soon?"

Then he killed several eunuchs.

Zhang Rang and others finally kowtowed to Liu Bian and said goodbye: "I am waiting for death, your majesty loves himself!"

After all, he threw himself into the river and died.

In this way, overnight, as the two most important forces to defend the imperial power, eunuchs and relatives were all wiped out.

When Yuan Shao and others burned the palace gates and invaded the palace, it was the point in time when the imperial power of the Eastern Han Dynasty completely ceased to exist.

The world thought that Yuan Shao at that time was a loyal minister of the Han Dynasty. Now it seems that Dong Zhuo had the courage to go to Beijing and threaten the emperor. Wasn't it Yuan who gave him the courage?

This is not a loyal minister of the Han Dynasty. Such people are the beginning of the turmoil in the late Eastern Han Dynasty.

The rule of king, king and minister was completely trampled by these two men's move of setting fire to the palace gate and storming into the palace.

This is not King Qin. He holds a large number of troops but does not abide by the bottom line of the monarch and his ministers. He invades the palace and the forbidden areas. This is a treasonous and unethical act.From then on, the imperial authority ceased to exist.

Therefore, it has been said from the beginning: "The usurper of the Han Dynasty is Yuan Ye."

People like Yuan Shao are standard villains.And he's a smartass.Comparing Yang Biao and Yuan Shao, who were both the fourth generation and the third prince at the same time, there was simply a world of difference between them. (End of chapter)
