Liu Qi, the hegemon of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 52 The Eunuch

Dozens of days later...

Even though Empress Dowager Dong was expelled from Luoyang, the imperial capital, and Dong Zhong committed suicide in the mansion, it is inevitable that Empress Dowager Dong would feel resentment.

In order to prevent Empress Dowager Dong from launching a counterattack, He Jin secretly ordered someone to poison Empress Dowager Dong in the Hejian Post Court, and then brought her coffin back to Beijing and buried her in Wenling.

I don't know how this matter was leaked out, and it spread in Luoyang, and all the spearheads pointed at He Jin.

Although the court ministers had speculations, they didn't dare to say too much. After all, there were many things involved. When Empress Dowager Dong moved away from the imperial capital, she was alive and well, and she died shortly after she moved to Hejian. She said that there would be no problems. Believe it.

After He Jin helped Empress Dowager Dong hold the funeral, he used the excuse of illness to stay in the mansion and avoid public opinion.

Sili Captain Yuan Shao begged to see He Jin.

"At the beginning, I don't know why you came here this time?" He Jin asked while sitting in the middle hall.

"The general, Zhang Rang and the others had different intentions in the first place, and now they are causing people to spread rumors in Luoyang, saying that the general poisoned the Queen Mother Dong. It will be a catastrophe. Thinking that Dou Wu wanted to kill the eunuch, he did not plan secretly, but was harmed by the eunuch; now the generals under the command of the general are all brave young people, if they try their best, they will definitely be able to annihilate the eunuch in one fell swoop. It's God's help to the general, the opportunity is rare!" Yuan Shao persuaded.

During this period of time, he often persuaded He Jin to eradicate all the remaining Zhang Rang and others, but He Jin often refused with some excuses. After knowing this, he rushed over again.

"We'll discuss this matter later!" He Jin said.

In fact, He Jin also knew that Zhang Rang and others were not of one mind with him. Through some channels, he also learned that the behavior of Queen Mother Dong had colluded with Zhang Rang and others, but Queen Mother He, He Miao, and Lord Wuyang They are all protecting Zhang Rang and others, which is the reason for his hesitation.

"Ugh!"

Seeing this, Yuan Shao could only sigh and leave.

However, neither Yuan Shao nor He Jin knew that He Jin's left and right had been bought by Zhang Rang and others.

After Yuan Shao left, He Jin's left and right sides reported to Zhang Rang.

Zhang Rang was shocked, and asked someone to send a pile of gold and silver treasures to He Miao, asking him to speak more kind words in front of Queen Mother He.

He Miao accepted the bribe and was in a very happy mood, so he had an audience with the Empress Dowager He, and said: "Now the ten permanent attendants are weak and are no longer a threat, but more helpful. The general assisting the new emperor is not merciful, but only kills He also listened to the advice of the villain and wanted to kill the ten permanent servants for no reason. If this continues, disaster will inevitably arise!"

Empress Dowager He also accepted He Miao's words and sent someone to invite He Jin.

soon……

He Jin came to the palace of Empress Dowager He.

"I heard that you want to kill Zhang Rang and others?" Queen Mother He asked.

He Jin didn't hide anything, so he told Queen Mother He what he was thinking, and explained why he wanted to kill the eunuch.

After hearing this, Empress Dowager He also became silent, and after a while, she said: "Now the news of Empress Dowager Dong's death has been widely circulated, it is really inappropriate to do anything else; moreover, eunuchs serve the palace, this is the historical situation of the great man , Now that the new emperor has just been established, it is not a way to treat the regime seriously; what's more, you already have power in your hands, and Zhang Rang and others can't make trouble, why don't you let them go to show mercy!"

He Jin was a butcher at first, and he didn't make any decisions. After hearing what the Empress Dowager He said, he came out alone!

When Yuan Shao heard that He Jin was called into the palace, he didn't give up and called a group of ministers to He Jin's residence.

Seeing He Jin coming back, Yuan Shao went up to meet him and said, "General, how about the killing of the ten permanent attendants?"

"The Queen Mother refuses, what can I do?" He Jin shook his head and said.

"Heroes from all over the world can be summoned to lead troops into Beijing to punish the eunuchs, and the general will support them. When the overall situation is settled, the Queen Mother will not refuse!" Yuan Shao said.

"It's feasible!" He Jin was overjoyed. Now that he saw that Zhang Rang and others were able to let Queen Mother He protect them so much, he felt unhappy, but he couldn't turn his back on Queen Mother He. Yuan Shao's plan was in line with his wishes.

"No! As the saying goes: 'Hiding eyes and catching sparrows' is self-deception. Small things can't be deceived to achieve one's ambition, let alone a major national event? Today's generals are fighting for the emperor's prestige, and they are in charge of soldiers. ;If you want to punish eunuchs, it's like a drum torch burns hair and ears. But when the thunder is fired quickly and the power is decisive, then heaven and man will follow it. But against foreign ministers, when they violate the capital, heroes gather, each with one heart; the so-called inverted If you hold a sword and give someone a handle, you will not be successful, and you will be in chaos!" Bo Chenlin, the master, stood up and retorted, saying.

He Jin smiled and said, "This is the opinion of a coward!"

As soon as the words fell, a person next to him clapped his hands and laughed loudly: "This matter is so easy, why bother to discuss it!"

Everyone regards it as Cao Cao.

Yuan Shao felt uncomfortable, one or two were against him, let alone Chen Lin, even Cao Cao stood up, wasn't this a mockery of his inability to plan, and he also felt a trace of resentment towards Cao Cao and Chen Lin in his heart.

Cao Cao ignored the eyes of the people looking over, and said: "The scourge of eunuchs has happened in ancient and modern times; but if the authority hadn't granted power, how could it have become like this; and the scourge of eunuchs can be put down only by getting rid of the chief culprit, so All you need is one jailer, so why call foreign soldiers into the capital? If you call foreign soldiers into the capital, if you want to punish the eunuchs, the matter will definitely be exposed, and this will cause the ten permanent servants to rebel, and it will be a disaster!"

Before Cao Cao didn't support him, He Jin had no good side for Cao Cao, and now he stood up again, which made him even more upset.

"Meng De also has selfish intentions?" He Jin said angrily.

Hearing this, Cao Cao was also angry. He reminded him again and again, and it’s fine if he doesn’t appreciate it. He even suspected that he had selfish intentions, and his anger also came up. He said angrily: "If the world is in chaos, it must be He Jin He You caused it, General! Farewell!"

After speaking, he flicked his sleeves and walked outside.

Xun Yu also stood up helplessly, bowed his hands to the crowd, and followed. Although he was not optimistic about calling foreign soldiers into Beijing, he didn't want to say much.

He didn't expect Cao Cao to stand up and refute directly. He didn't know that because of the previous incident, He Jin didn't have a good impression, but now he refuted, how could He Jin listen to it.

Cao Cao left, and it was not good for him to stay here.

"I'm angry too!" He Jin said angrily.

"Meng De is just anxious, after all, this matter is too involved!" Yuan Shao seemed to be very kind, and helped Cao Cao excuse.

"Hmph, only he knows what he has in mind!" He Jin scolded.

A glint of haze flashed in Yuan Shao's eyes, and he stopped talking.

In the end, this meeting ended hastily, and everyone left He Jin's mansion one after another. He Jin didn't explain to them what he would do, but depending on the situation, it should be a plan that favored Yuan Shao.

Sure enough, He Jin and the others left, and secretly dispatched envoys to various towns with the secret edict Xingye.
