Great Han Empire

Chapter 511 Immediately Shooting the Gun
Taifu's house.

After Yuan Kui received the news from Yuan Shu, he was very surprised, and hurriedly sent someone to Beigong Shangshutai, asking Shangshu to order Lu Zhi to go to Nangong to meet the queen mother quickly, to see if the general He Jin was safe, and what happened in the palace Major events require the palace gates to be closed.

Now the traitors in the palace will not kill He Jin regardless of their own lives, but the queen mother and traitors can use various excuses to confine the general in the palace or directly into the Beisi Prison, and use this to threaten He Jin agrees to their terms.What Yuan Kui was most worried about was that the general and the traitor would join hands to deal with himself and the ministers in the court.

Yuan Kai paced back and forth in the room with his hands behind his back, worried.He felt that it was very likely that the Queen Mother and the traitor had imprisoned General He Jin in the palace.Last night, the Fifth Battalion of the West Garden Army had been merged into the Northern Army, and the strength of the general had greatly increased. If he suddenly changed his mind at this time, the scholars would suffer.After General He Jin joins forces with Jianxie, Luoyang will surely fall into a bloody storm.Yuan Kai's heart trembled, and his breathing suddenly became short of breath.what to do?how to respond?

At this moment, the man who delivered the letter to Lu Zhi came back with a panicked expression, "My lord, all the gates of the North Palace have been sealed, and lower officials cannot enter the palace."

Yuan Kui was startled.It seems that he guessed right, He Jin is about to change his mind.He smiled coldly and shook his head.

"Order all the people in the city to enforce martial law in Luoyang for three days. No one is allowed to walk on the streets. Anyone who violates the order will be killed."

"Order Wu Qiong, the school captain of the city gate, to block the gate of Luoyang, so all imperial edicts will be intercepted when leaving the city." Yuan Kai went to the back of the case and wrote a warrant, "Tell him that the general was kidnapped by rape and eunuchs, and his life and death are uncertain. , tell him to guard the city gate, and no one is allowed to let him out."

"Order Yin Wang Yun of Henan Province to immediately take the guards in the mansion to control the main streets of Luoyang City, and surround all the villainous mansions in the city."

"Master Zhu Junzhu, the master craftsman, Mr. Liu Bo Liu, the former Guang Luxun, and Mr. Zhou Shenzhou, the former general of the bandits, please come to the mansion to discuss matters."

"Ask Yuan Shao to come see me."

The atmosphere in Taifu's mansion suddenly became tense, big and small officials came in and out, riding back and forth like flying.

===

At dusk, shocking news reached Taifu's mansion that General He Jin was raped and killed.

Yuan Kui was dumbfounded and didn't react for a long time, "The general was killed?"

"Here is the general's head." The Huben guards who came to report the news raised He Jin's bloody head high.

Yuan Kui took a closer look and was overjoyed, then his face was as cold as frost, and he yelled at the case, "The crime of rape and murder of ministers is unforgivable."

"Order Huben Zhonglang General Yuan Shu to immediately lead Huben Yulin to surround the palace."

"My lord, the general's subordinates are not listening to Lord Yuan's command and are attacking the palace." The guard said hurriedly, "Master Yuan has few people with him, so we can't dissuade you, my lord..."

Yuan Kai didn't wait for the guard to finish, and waved his hand and said: "Besieging the palace is treason, don't they want to live? Go back and tell Master Yuan, stop it immediately, don't scare the emperor and the queen mother, go quickly..."

Wu Qiong, the school captain of the city gate, sent someone to send an urgent letter, saying that the imperial decree of the emperor had just been delivered to him, and the content of the imperial decree was the same as Yuan Kai's order, which was also to block the city gate.Wu Qiong asked Yuan Kai, if the general and the traitor joined hands, this imperial decree would not be a traitorous edict, but a real emperor's decree.At this time, how will Master Taifu respond?Should I immediately send someone outside the city for help?

Yuan Kai wrote back that the general had been punished and killed by the traitor, the emperor and the queen mother had been held hostage by the traitor, and all the imperial edicts were edicts of the traitor.Anyone who holds the imperial decree of the Son of Heaven is an accomplice and will be killed on the spot.

===

Yuan Kai looked at He Jin's head placed on the case table, with a smile on his face.The traitor has gone crazy, killing He Jin at this time, not only digging his own grave, but also doing himself a huge favor.

When Li Wei, who was riding in Linfen, Xingyuan, the general's mansion, suddenly sent troops to the Yellow River, threatening that if all parties in Luoyang did not stop fighting, he would lead an army of [-] to go south. and foreign relatives, the two scourges that endanger the great Han society.He discussed with Lu Zhi and others for a long time, and felt that although the difficulty was great, if he missed this opportunity, there would be no possibility of saving Dahan Sheji in the future, so they decided to fight to the death.But who would have thought that at the time when they were most nervous, He Jin and Jian Xie would kill each other, and both would perish.

"God bless me." Yuan Kai looked up at the dark sky outside the window, stroked his beard and sighed, "My late emperor, I will soon fulfill your wish, please help me one more time."

At this moment, a pillar of flame shot up into the sky, instantly turning half of the sky red.

Yuan Kai was shocked and rushed out of the house.Could it be that the desperate traitor wants to set fire to the palace?
Yuan Shaofei rushed into the Taifu's mansion.

"Uncle, Gonglu is so bold that he not only led people to attack the palace, smashed the palace gate, but also set fire to the Suzaku gate." Yuan Shao waved his hand angrily, "Uncle, he is a lunatic at all."

When Yuan Kai heard that it was not a traitor who set fire in the palace, he was immediately relieved.

"This bastard, he doesn't distinguish between primary and secondary, and he has no brains at all." Yuan Wei cursed a few words in a low voice, "This is the best reason to kill He Jin's subordinates. Let him make trouble. The bigger the trouble, the better."

Yuan Shao snorted coldly, "After Luoyang calms down, this matter will definitely affect my uncle's prestige in the ruling and opposition parties, and it will also affect my uncle's monopoly on power, so my uncle still asks Gonglu to take Huben Yulin out of Suzaku Gate immediately." For good."

Yuan Kai didn't care, and waved his hand lightly, "The top priority is two things, one is to immediately send people to Ping Optimistic to control the Northern Army, and the other is to kill He Miao."

"The emperor and the queen mother were kidnapped by the traitor, and the general was killed by the traitor. Now I have the final say in Luoyang." Yuan Kai said calmly, "I worship you as the captain of Sili, and you immediately let Fengche Duwei Dong Min (min) pretended to be a member of the General's Mansion and went into the Hushi General's Mansion, and killed He Miao and others. You brought your own troops to kill the young man Xu Xiang, Sili Xiaowei Fan Ling and a bunch of traitorous disciples and eunuchs. Get rid of them all, don't keep a single one, let me kill them all."

"Uncle, we should control the Northern Army first, and then kill He Miao and Xu Ping." Yuan Shao hesitated, and persuaded in a low voice, "Uncle, only when we control the Northern Army can we have the strength to speak out and convince the ministers Let us dethrone the present day, otherwise..."

"Depose the current emperor?" Yuan Kai looked at Yuan Shao, and suddenly said excitedly, "At the beginning, how could you say such treasonous words? I, the fourth generation and third prince of the Yuan family, have received the favor of the emperor, how could I commit such treasonous things?" Being scolded by all the people in the world? What I do today is to completely eradicate traitors and relatives, to completely eradicate the disasters that endanger my country, and to revive the great man Tianwei. I don't have any selfish intentions. The matter of deposing the emperor? What is wrong with the emperor today? If I propose to depose the emperor, even if I control the Northern Army, there is no place for me in Luoyang. My Yuan family is bound to become the enemy of the world. Other noble families are bound to swallow my Yuan family alive."

"At the beginning, you let me down too much." Yuan Wei said later, he was already furious, "Are you going to destroy my Yuan family's hundreds of years of foundation, and make my Yuan family's reputation forever?"

Yuan Shao was dumbfounded, and he subconsciously argued: "My lord uncle, we condoned the general's subordinates to attack the palace, set fire to the palace gates, and even allowed them to rush into the palace to kill traitors. Do you know how big a crime we have committed? In order to completely put an end to the misfortune of the foreign relatives, He Miao had to be executed, and Xu Xiang, Fan Ling and other important officials in the court had to be executed. How could this matter be hidden for a while? In order to seize power, the clans joined hands to deal with us, and our Yuan family will become the enemy of all enemies, and we will die without a place to die. When the emperor and the queen mother know the truth, how can they let us go?"

Yuan Shao waved his hands in a gaffe, and raised his voice and said, "Master Uncle, now you are the Prime Minister acting as the acting state affairs of the Han Dynasty, you control this Luoyang City, and you take the lead in killing traitors and relatives. And Qianqian, of course, will spare no effort to support you and help you, but once the traitors in the palace are gone, and the relatives outside the palace are gone, will they still obey what they say? Will they help you sincerely? My Yuan family has several hundred A year’s foundation is not the same as being destroyed overnight.”

"If we depose the present emperor, imprison the empress dowager in Yongle Palace, make King Chenliu the new king, and my uncle and lord act as the agent of state affairs, then my Yuan family will not only make great achievements, but also be able to hold power alone. At that time, who else in the world will say What is the strength of our Yuan family? Who else is our Yuan family's opponent?"

Yuan Kai was so angry that he raised his hand and slapped Yuan Shao.

"Bastard, is this how you are a courtier?" Yuan Kai pointed at the door and shouted loudly, "Get out of here, do today's work for me, and let me think about the future, otherwise , you will never become the head of the Yuan family."

Yuan Shao didn't dare to reply, he bowed and hurried away after saluting.

Yuan Kui said loudly towards his back: "Even if my Yuan family is wiped out, it will still be famous in history."

===

When He Miao received the imperial decree and talisman from the palace, he was stunned for a while, knelt on the ground and didn't get up for a long time.

Chang Shi Leyin hurriedly urged: "My lord, let's go quickly and get out of the city, lest there will be changes."

He Miao burst into tears, "Why? Why did they kill my brother? Why? Why did they kill my brother?"

Sima Zishao stamped his feet anxiously. He pointed at Cao, the guard standing outside the door, and shouted loudly, "Quickly, gather the troops. Let's leave the city immediately, leave the city immediately."

The master Bo Qianzhao grabbed He Miao and said, "Sir, go quickly, if you don't leave, the He family will be finished. The Tai Tuo will not let this opportunity go, he will not only kill the traitor, but also kill you." , so that Master Tai Tuo can take power alone."

"My lord, think about the emperor, the queen mother, and your mother. Without you, what will they do in the future?" Le Yin walked out with He Miao and said, "Let's go quickly. As long as we get to Pingguang, Luoyang will still be the queen mother." It's up to you."

He Miao wiped away his tears and scolded fiercely: "When I return to Luoyang, I will kill those eunuchs, how dare they kill my brother."

===

It was getting dark, and the flames above the palace became more and more frightening.

The streets of Luoyang City were empty and deserted.Fengche Duwei Dong Min led the troops and ran all the way.

"Who is in front? Get out of the way quickly."

"General Hussars is here, who dares to block the way?"

Dong Min raised his knife and roared, "Kill, kill me..."

All of a sudden, horns blared, crossbows fired in salvo, and a thousand Xiliang soldiers roared up to meet the galloping cavalry.The dozen or so guards walking in the front were caught off guard and were shot dead one after another.He Miao's liver and gallbladder were broken, he turned his horse's head and ran away.Several Xiliang soldiers roared and threw their spears at He Miao who was wearing a red shirt.The three spears roared fiercely, piercing through He Miao's fat body at the same time.He Miao let out a miserable howl and fell headfirst off his horse.

Under the protection of a group of guards, Le Yin, Zi Shao, Qian Zhao and others quickly retreated into an alley.

"Shoot, dense volley..." Dong Min held He Miao's head and yelled hoarsely while galloping after him.

Long arrows are like rain.There were screams one after another from the fleeing crowd.Le Yin was hit by several arrows, and had already passed away, but his disciple, Qian Zhao, was still holding him and running wildly.

Just after rushing out of the alley, there was another dense rain of arrows head-on, and several guards who rushed in the front were immediately shot upside down.Henan Yin Wangyun shouted loudly: "Catch the traitor quickly, otherwise he will be killed."

Zishao heard Wang Yun's voice on the opposite side, and couldn't help being surprised and delighted, and shouted at the top of his voice, "Master Wang is ahead, and I am Zishao."

Zi Shao is a celebrity today, and he and Wang Yun used to be classmates.Wang Yun hurriedly ordered the soldiers to come forward, and brought Zishao, Qianzhao and Shi Lu to him.

Dong Min came with his cavalry on a flying horse.

"Lord Wang, that's a traitor, why didn't you kill him?" Dong Min asked angrily, staring at a pair of blood-red eyes.

Wang Yun smiled and said: "Where are there rebels? You have killed all the rebels." He waved to the soldiers, "Let's go..."

Holding the teacher's body, Qianzhao looked at Dong Min and gritted his teeth and said, "One day I will kill you."

===

The Suzaku Gate collapsed in the flames.

Yuan Shu raised his hands excitedly and yelled, "Brothers, go in, go in..."

Wu Kuang, Zhang Zhang, Wu Tang, Xu Liang and nearly [-] angry retainers and guards roared loudly and rushed into Nangong like a tide.

"Kill all the ones without beards..." Yuan Shu took the lead and rushed in.

There was a sudden sound of killing in the palace, and more than 2000 eunuchs, big and small, were all killed. Zhao Zhong, Gao Wang, Zhang Gong, Han Kui, Yuan She and others were chopped into flesh by angry soldiers.Dozens of officials including Zhang Rang and Duan Gui hijacked the emperor, the queen mother and Liu Xie, king of Chenliu, and fled to the North Palace.Shangshu ordered Lu Zhi to take Shangshu He Yong, Han Fu, Zhou Wei, and dozens of Shi Shi to stop them in Fudao.When Zhang Rang and Duan Gui saw Lu Zhi standing with a halberd, they were terrified and fled in a hurry.Empress Dowager He desperately broke away from Duan Gui's coercion, and jumped out of the redo window to escape.

Yuan Shu and his men were about to enter the North Palace, but were blocked by Lu Zhi and He Yong.

"The rebels attacked the palace and disturbed the emperor. The crime is unforgivable." Lu Zhi pointed to Wu Kuang, Zhang Zhang and others who were still running around in the North Palace and said, "Gaolu, call Hu Ben Yulin immediately, and send them away." Kill them all."

Yuan Shu looked at Empress Dowager He who was still in shock, knelt down and shouted: "I obey the order."
