I rode and slashed unparalleled in the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 511: Yuan's strategy of using the power of the eunuchs led to their defeat

"As for me, my brother should think carefully about this and try to maintain friendly relations with the palace so that we can all share the wealth and glory," He Miao advised.

——"Sharing wealth? What do you know?"

"Get lost, I don't want a useless brother like you!"

He Jin was furious and drove He Miao out.

He Miao was bribed by the eunuchs to persuade He Jin to understand that his threats to the palace would be ineffective.

In his own family, his sister and brother are both against the killing of eunuchs. How should he push forward this matter?
In recent days, he has been drinking alone, wavering between the scholars and his brothers and sisters-in-law.

Frankly speaking, He Miao told him to stop struggling and enjoy wealth and glory, so didn't He Jin want that too?

However, the affairs of the world were in a state of turmoil, and he had no choice but to move given his position.

The lesson of Dou Wu is not far away. If he continues to be indecisive, how many of the scholars and princes who had been obedient before would be willing to be like Chen Fan?

I'm afraid she will abandon him at any time and go it alone.

Especially the kid from the Yuan family who just left. He has been urging me to take action so eagerly in recent days. Is it really just for the public good?

Yes, that's right.

The world is becoming increasingly chaotic, people are living in misery, and no one knows what to do.

But will killing the eunuchs solve all problems?

He Jin was confused.

He was worried that if the eunuchs were really killed and the world was still not at peace, where would the anger and resentment of the people be directed?
Is it the young emperor?

Or is it me, the great general in power???

It was only at this point that He Jin began to understand Emperor Ling a little.

These eunuchs may not have any other abilities, but they can take bullets.

Moreover, what his younger brother He Miao said was indeed correct.

Damage has been done and it cannot be undone. Once the relationship is completely torn apart, what will happen to this family that he has worked hard to maintain for decades?

He Jin has no son and his grandson is still so young. If something goes wrong and his younger brothers and sisters are forced to death, he doesn't know who will come back to pick the peach of his He family.

Inappropriate, inappropriate.

He Jin was completely confused and couldn't make up his mind.

On the other side, the eunuchs were gritting their teeth and persisting, whispering to Empress Dowager He day and night.

After several days of stalemate, the Yuan family finally couldn't sit still anymore.

"Benchu, the general is making a lot of noise but doing little, am I trying to fool you?"

The person who spoke was Taifu Yuan Wei, Yuan Shao's uncle and the real boss of the Yuan family.

As to why Yuan Shao was so eager to exterminate the eunuchs, apart from the problem that the eunuchs were hated by the people, the interests of the Yuan family were the most crucial.

Although he supported Liu Bian and the general, he had allowed Yuan Wei, who was dismissed by Emperor Ling, to return to the court and ascend to the position of Taifu in one step, and he also promoted many of his students and former officials in the court.

However, the Yuan family’s ambitions do not stop there.

As a family with three generations of officials, and the head of the world's aristocratic families, the Yuan family would not be satisfied with sharing power with eunuchs and relatives of the emperor.

In their view, neither side was a good thing and was just a tool used by the imperial power to attack them.

Among them, eunuchs are the most hateful.

They are naturally close to the emperor and can influence and shape the emperor according to their own will.

Under their influence, the emperor distanced himself from the aristocratic families and indulged in pleasure, which led to chaos in the world. This was the source of the disaster.

Whether their family is unwilling to let those dictators decide their life and death, or does not want to be dragged down into the abyss by this broken ship, they must remove the mountain above their heads.

Only in this way can they avoid the ups and downs in the court with the change of the throne and truly stand firm.

At this moment, eunuchs have become the rats that everyone wants to kill, and the emperor is a cowardly child who was raised by Taoists and knows nothing.

Such an opportunity only comes once in a lifetime.

"We must not let the general retreat." Looking at Yuan Shao, whose face was red, Yuan Wei patted his shoulder and said:
"If he can't make up his mind, we will help him make up his mind."

"Child, do your best. After the task is completed, your uncle will not treat you unfairly."

After receiving the instruction, Yuan Shao immediately sent a fast horse to summon Dong Zhuo and did something big.

As mentioned before, the princes summoned by He Jin actually obeyed the general and frightened the eunuchs and the queen mother. They were all under control and would not cause any real trouble.

But among them, Dong Zhuo was actually a disciple and old official of the Yuan family. He listened to the Yuan family more than the general.

At this time, Yuan Shao sent a direct letter, asking Dong Zhuo not to care about the general's order and to go directly to Luoyang. As for the passes blocking the road, they, the Yuan family, would find a way to solve them.

At this moment, Dong Zhuo lost control.

However, there is more to it than that.

Before He Jin got the information that Dong Zhuo was out of control, a more explosive news came to Luoyang:
"what?!"

"The Champion Hou is here???"

Zhang Rang and others looked pale, and He Jin was also very surprised.

"Nanyang, he actually came from the south along the Huai River"

Yuan Shao's eyes gleamed:
"This is an opportunity, General."

"Although I don't know what happened to the Marquis of Guanjun, and whether he knows the situation in my capital, but it is well known that the Marquis of Guanjun killed the eunuchs in the past and that he and the eunuchs are at odds with each other."

"The Champion Marquis is coming, and we can use this to intimidate the eunuchs."

"Everyone knows that guy is a lunatic. If they let him in, none of the eunuchs will have a good time!"

Seeing that He Jin was still hesitating, Yuan Shao showed his true colors this time and threatened directly:
"General!"

"Now that the contradiction has been established and the situation has been exposed, everyone in the world is watching you!"

"If you don't make a decision early, something unforeseen might happen."

"That Champion Marquis is a man who kills eunuchs with an iron fist."

After hearing Yuan Shao's words, He Jin took a deep breath.

He knew that these aristocratic families couldn't wait any longer.

If I don't take action now, they might really abandon me and secretly find that kid named Su to kill him.

Did that guy dare to let him in?

No, no, absolutely not!
Finally, He Jin made up his mind.

He first sent someone to contact Su Yao, asking him about his situation and asking him to accept the transfer order and temporarily slow down his return to Beijing. He also asked Su Yao to stay in Liang County (now Ruzhou) and not to continue moving north.

Then, he used this matter to intimidate the palace.

"If that Champion Marquis comes, I, your brother, won't be able to control him."

"Sister, if you continue to protect those eunuchs, be careful that you will bring disaster to our He family!"

At the same time, Dong Zhuo was not willing to be lonely, and he gave full play to his subjective initiative, and at the right time, he submitted a memorial:
"The eunuch Zhang Rang and others secretly enjoyed the emperor's favor and brought chaos to the country."

"I have heard that it is better to stop the fire by cutting off the firewood than to stir the boiling water. Although it is painful to break a sore, it is worse than letting a malignant tumor eat away at your internal organs."

"In the past, Zhao Yang raised the army of Jinyang to drive out the evil people around the emperor."

"If the Queen Mother cannot make up her mind, I will beat the drums and ring the bells, march to Luoyang, arrest Zhang Rang and others, and purge the traitors!"

My goodness, two murderous generals, one from the west and the other from the south, pointed their swords at Luoyang. This time, Empress Dowager He was really scared.

The eunuchs were even more panic-stricken and their faces were pale.

They never expected that these pig killers could be so cruel that they actually dared to let foreign troops enter Beijing.

"General, we know we are wrong. Please spare our lives."

"The capital is an important place for the country. We must not allow foreign troops to come here!"

With no way out, the eunuchs knelt down
