Three Kingdoms: I will act as a substitute for the Hunjun

Chapter 42 Foreign troops can be mobilized to Beijing
  The General's Mansion.

He Jin summoned his close aides and some trusted generals to discuss matters, including Yuan Shao and Cao Cao.

The topic of discussion was naturally how to help He Jin get rid of the current unfavorable situation and at the same time curb Jian Shuo's dictatorship.

"Since the general thinks it is too reckless to lead troops into the palace to kill Jian Shuo, the general has a plan." Cao Cao stood up, looked around at everyone and said, "Recently, Jian Shuo often accepts bribes from others in the mansion outside the palace, so it is better to wash it with blood. The Jian Mansion can get rid of this traitor without disturbing the palace, isn't it the best of both worlds?"

He Jin's eyes lit up after hearing this.

He has long wanted to eradicate Jian Shuo, but it is just not convenient for him to lead troops into the palace, otherwise the consequences will be too uncontrollable. If His Majesty accuses you of forcing the palace to rebel, no one can afford it.

Although Your Majesty is being held hostage by Jian Shuo, you may not be willing to be held hostage by He Jin.

Although Queen He and Pan Yin both sent back news that His Majesty had been kidnapped by Jian Shuo, some courtiers still did not think so. They believed that the main reason was that His Majesty favored Jian Shuo too much, which caused him to be lawless and bring trouble to the court.

What does He Jin think?
  He was hesitant now. This one felt reasonable, and that one seemed good. He couldn't make up his mind, so he repeatedly summoned his confidants to discuss, but failed to decide on an effective countermeasure. The main reason was that he could not find someone who could kill Jian Shuo and also A way to avoid harming yourself.

"Meng De's suggestion is just a child's opinion." Suddenly someone stood up and said loudly to Cao Cao. When everyone saw, it was He Jin's younger brother He Miao.

He Miao glanced at Cao Cao disdainfully and said, "Even if you don't enter the palace and use troops and horses to kill close ministers in Kyoto, if Your Majesty blames it, it will be our He family that will be unlucky. You were eliminated by our He family's hands." You are a thief, but our He family has to bear His Majesty’s wrath, what is your intention?”

Cao Cao was so angry that his face was livid. He didn't expect that his sincere advice would be misunderstood as having ulterior motives. He did not show any weakness at the moment and said: "You don't dare to kill the thieves, but the thieves dare to kill you. Didn't the general just say that? The thief has repeatedly falsely conveyed His Majesty and the Queen's will to deceive the General into entering the palace, just to harm the General. At this critical moment, how can he still be hesitant?"

"You fart." When He Miao saw that Cao Cao actually dared to argue with him, a relative of the emperor, he couldn't help but get angry and said angrily, "These Japanese generals have been in and out of the palace many times, why haven't they been killed by Jian Shuo?"

"You..." Cao Cao was speechless for a moment, thinking to himself, what's the use of killing an incompetent person like you? But I'm embarrassed to say it directly.

"Both of you, please calm down." Henan Yin and Tulu Colonel Gai Xun advised, "The thieves haven't even lost a single hair. Let's fight in our own dens first. Wouldn't it cause pain to our relatives and pleasure to our enemies? Meng De's proposal As an alternative strategy, what else do you have to say?"

"Brother, it's not easy for our He family to be as strong as it is today. We must not be ruined in the hands of those who gossip and disrupt the government. Brother, please don't be deceived by others." He Miao turned to the crowd again and said aggressively, "He Miao disdains the lack of strategy. Goodbye, my companion!"

As he spoke, he flicked his sleeves and left the general's mansion.

Everyone looked at each other, feeling that today's discussion might end in vain again.

Everyone came here to make suggestions from the He family, but the He family had this attitude, and many people felt discouraged.

Cao Cao stood on the spot, feeling quite embarrassed. Do you think He Miao is not a fool?

"There is no need for Meng De to be angry. Sit down for now." At this time, Yuan Shao stood up slowly, looked around at the crowd and said, "Although Shao is not talented, he still has a plan. He should be able to deal with the current chaos and kill the thieves with ease."

When everyone heard this, they all became interested, and He Jin hurriedly said: "If you have any clever ideas at the beginning, tell me quickly."

"The general is unwilling to send troops into the palace to eliminate the thieves, nor is he willing to bloodbath the Jian mansion. It is not because the general is not strong enough, but because he is worried about being held accountable by His Majesty afterwards." Yuan Shao said slowly. He Jin nodded repeatedly, and the fat on his face trembled. Yuan Shao's words touched his heart.

He wanted to kill Jian Shuo, and the ministers in the court also wanted to encourage him to kill Jian Shuo, but what he was most worried about were the many variables that would happen after killing Jian Shuo.

Everyone thought that He Jin was worried about being criticized by His Majesty the Emperor after killing Jian Shuo, but He Jin thought further.

Just from the matter of killing Jian Shuo, he felt that the consequences were not that serious.

I am a powerful relative, and I learned from the Queen that His Majesty doted on his sister very much, and even wanted to make Bian'er the crown prince, but Jian Shuo refused. If these are true, we can basically judge that First, His Majesty was indeed held hostage by Jian Shuo Yes, secondly, His Majesty and I are of the same mind.

Therefore, even if he didn't have much strategy, he could still make a rough guess. Even if His Majesty blamed him, he would not cause any harm to the He family by killing Jian Shuo.

What he's really worried about is a crisis on another level.

Emperor Ling established the Xiyuan Forbidden Army, obviously to check and balance him as a general. He obviously had a grudge against him, and he did not even rule out wanting to reduce his military power.

So whether he brought troops into the palace or bloodbathed Jian's mansion, it would give His Majesty a perfect excuse to attack and weaken his own power. In the end, the emperor killed two birds with one stone, not only killing Jian Shuo, a powerful official, but also reducing his own real power.

He was busy in vain, just making a wedding dress for the emperor's brother-in-law.

This is one, and the other is that he is worried that after he kills Jian Shuo, the ministers in the court will take the opportunity to criticize him. He is even basically certain that those scholars will definitely attack him to weaken his power in the court.

I was still used as a weapon by others in vain. In the end, I gained nothing, but ended up in a mess.

In general, it is not difficult to kill Jian Shuo, and the risk itself is not too great, but the related chain reactions caused by it will bring disaster to the He family, which is what He Jin is really worried about.

Yuan Shao's words at this moment, whether they were right or wrong, only pointed out He Jin's superficial worries, but it was enough to make He Jin's eyes light up and he began to look forward to his response.

"What Benchu ​​said is absolutely true. I wonder if there is any clever way to solve the current crisis?" He Jin asked eagerly.

"We can mobilize foreign soldiers to enter the capital." Yuan Shao said solemnly, "In this way, the thieves can be killed and there will be no hidden dangers for the general."

He Jin was startled, then overjoyed, stroking his hands and smiling, "Wonderful, this is a great strategy, it is actually the best choice to solve the current crisis, hahahaha..."

"General, this plan is inappropriate." Chen Lin, the chief secretary, immediately objected and said, "The general has the capital's heavy troops, and it is easy to get rid of the thieves. Why is it necessary to send foreign troops to the capital? Foreign troops entering the capital will only cause chaos. Let's talk about the deployment. The army must be approved by His Majesty, but now that the thieves are in power, how can he allow foreign troops to enter the capital to kill him?"

"You don't need to say anything about this coward." He Jin yelled, "The general will arrange this matter himself. Even if the thieves can't see the flaw, please tell me which troops should be sent to the capital?"
