You know, the "crime of hiding first" and "crime of being full" sound simple, but in fact they were already the highest level of crimes that an ordinary person could commit during the Eastern Han Dynasty.

One level higher than him, there are only two crimes of "disrespect" and "rebellion" for not following the etiquette when meeting the emperor, which are not charges that ordinary people can touch at all.

According to the law of the Han Dynasty, the crime of first hiding refers to the crime of providing a residence for the leader of the rebels when they pass by their own residence, and assisting the other party to avoid the search of the official army, which is a first-class capital crime.

The crime of fullness is also similar. Any act of giving food to the other party when the rebels pass by the house, giving help to the other party, or even simply allowing the other party to pass will be classified as the "crime of fullness".

It is precisely because of this that in the eyes of many historians of later generations, the crime of eating too much is also called the "common crime of eating and drinking", and it is the earliest pocket crime to appear in the Huaxia region.

……

Now, He Jin asked Ding Yuan to go to Heyang to arrest the people related to Shi Changshi on these two charges, which is almost equivalent to destroying the other side's folk forces from the root.

Anyone who was an official in the Han Dynasty, who didn't know that the surrounding areas of Luoyang, especially Heyang in the north of Luoyang, were the bases of the ten permanent attendants, such as Xia Yun, Guo Sheng, Duan Gui, Song Dian and other well-known eunuchs The lairs are all around there.

It can be said that as long as Ding Yuan is willing to conduct a thorough investigation this time, one-third or even one-quarter of the people in Heyang will be spared, which is already due to the kindness and kindness of the other party.

If it is really investigated carefully, the people in Xiaoping, Jindu and other places are from top to bottom, and almost no one has nothing to do with the existence of the ten permanent attendants.

Like domestic servants, relatives of domestic servants, and even domestic servants of relatives of domestic servants... As long as they are willing to look for them, they can always have a relationship between the people over there and one of the ten permanent attendants.

Previously, He Jin hadn't attacked this place, firstly because there was no suitable reason, and secondly because the forces of the ten permanent attendants were deeply rooted in the area, which could easily lead to large-scale turmoil or even rebellion.

But now...

Na Dingyuan stationed there with an army of tens of thousands, not to mention the henchmen of the ten permanent servants, even if Zhang Jiao and other former rebel leaders came, they had to carefully weigh their abilities.

In addition, the distance between Heyang and Luoyang is only a few tens of miles, and He Jin has cleared Heyang's ten permanent servants this time, which is definitely a big impact on the members of the ten permanent servants in the palace. .

Anyone who is not a fool can figure it out, except for He Jin, who is wanted by the ten servants, there will be almost no one else who will attack them for no reason.

As for He Jin, he can say that if He Yang is lifted, He Yang will be lifted...

Then if one day he wanted to attack the local ten permanent servants in Luoyang, the ten permanent servants would never say that He Jin did not have the strength to do such a thing.

All in all, sending Ding Yuan northward to Heyang was what He Jin did. It was a step towards Zhang Rang's prestige by taking action against the ten permanent attendants and other strengths.

As for what will happen to the people in it... He Jin can't control that much.

Things like common people... To put it bluntly, they are like weeds outside the door.Even if it is completely consumed by you, after a while, grass seeds will drift over from other places and take root and sprout in front of your house.

Not to mention that the people in Heyang are more or less related to the ten permanent servants. In He Jin's eyes, these people are all damn "helping the evildoers".Even if Ding Yuan slaughtered the whole of Heyang without saying a word, he would not say a word of no.

……

"Well. Let's do this first... pass this order on to Ding Yuan, and I can take a little rest."

Shaking his head wearily, after He Jin arranged the order, he kneaded his eye sockets with his hands again.

Not far from him, Yuan Shao heard the other party's order, and wanted to say something several times, but in the end he didn't make a sound, but silently watched He Jin make a decision.

Maybe if he was allowed to do this matter, he could do it cleaner, more beautiful, and more "friendly", without the strong smell of blood like Ding Yuan.

But there is one thing, in the hearts of Yuan Shao and He Jin, they are indeed interlinked.

That is, people are like worthless, but they are just tools and consumables to achieve their own goals, and it is not worth spending too much thought on it.

……

"Hey...Okay, okay, that's it, I'm really tired, I need to take a rest."

"At the beginning, it was difficult for me to go back home during this time, and there was no one available, so I have to ask you to help me take care of the situation in Luoyang City. It is now an extraordinary period, and your every move may affect the situation in Luoyang City. The future direction of our big man."

While yawning, He Jin whispered to Yuan Shao.

"You should also step back first. If there is something to do, I will send someone to find you again."

……

"Oh, by the way, did I forget something?"

With a slap on the forehead, Yuan Shao was sent away, He Jinqiang cheered up, and summoned another envoy.

"I remember that Huangfusong and the others will be back in two days, right? There are already enough troops around Luoyang City, and Dong Zhuo doesn't have to stay outside the pass to wait for orders at any time."

"Let him go..."

"Well... I mean, let him take the troops to Chang'an, and guard Chang'an for a while."

"I remember that the Shanglin Garden in Chang'an seems to be almost deserted now, so let them camp there. It just so happens that they have been guarding outside the checkpoint for so long, if they don't arrange a better place to rest, if they take advantage of it If I make trouble now when I'm out of resources, I won't be able to pay."

Lowering his head and thinking about how to deal with Dong Zhuo's army, He Jin scratched his head a little annoyed, and finally drove the envoy out with a big wave of his hand.

"That's it, let them be stationed in Shanglinyuan, and send a batch of fine wine, gold and silver, and meat to reward them, and don't let them make trouble at such a critical time."

"That guy Dong Zhuo...I heard that he still has some skills, so let them stay away from Luoyang."

Chapter 71 Lord of Luoyang East Palace

"Oh...how about I go back and ask him again?"

"If he left like this, according to He Jin's character, he wouldn't have taken my words to heart, right?"

Walking slowly on the streets of Luoyang City, Yuan Shao recalled He Jin's behavior style in the past, and inevitably had a bad premonition in his heart.

"If he is blindly confident and gets invited into the palace with two good words from Zhang Rang, then I, Gonglu, and even Mengde and the others will be in big trouble..."

……

As a subject who has followed He Jin for a long time, Yuan Shao's understanding of He Jin is still very accurate, but now that he has been sent out of the barracks, there is no reason to go back and tell He Jin.

With He Jin's character, if Yuan Shao puts too much emphasis on these things, it may have a bad effect, and even arouse He Jin's rebellious psychology, making things worse.

After thinking over and over again, Yuan Shao decided not to look back for He Jin, but turned his head and walked to the other side of Luoyang City, a camp that looked brand new and had just been established.

"That's all...that's it."

"Anyway, I have already said what should be said and what should not be said. If this guy falls into Zhang Rang's hands like this, it can only show that he is not a suitable protagonist, or even a suitable teammate. He is not worth it at all." Received the trust and help of the Yuan family."

"Instead of thinking about what's there and what's not, it's better to make some preparations quickly, lest something really go wrong in Luoyang, and we don't even have the ability to participate in it."

Muttering helplessly, he walked towards the camp on the other side of Luoyang. Soon, Yuan Shao disappeared on the streets of Luoyang.

At the same time, in the Luoyang Imperial Palace, a carriage slowly pulled up to the side of the road.

……

Luoyang, Yongle Palace.

……

"Chang Shi, the Qing Palace has arrived."

A somewhat withered arm stretched out from the door curtain of the carriage, and gently moved the curtain aside. With the support of several young eunuchs, Zhang Rang got off the carriage, stretched first, and then looked aside The building with a somewhat gloomy atmosphere.

I saw that there was no one guarding the gate of the building at the moment, and even a waiter could not be found at the gate of the huge palace.

Walking slowly to the front of the palace, Zhang Rang narrowed his eyes slightly, then waved his hand forward, signaling a little eunuch to walk in first.

……

"Go, inform the Queen Mother for our family, and tell Zhongchang Attendant Zhang Rang to see you."

……

"I really didn't expect it... It's only been a few years? The East Palace, which was originally prosperous, has turned into such a dilapidated state."

"Hehe, yes. This place was originally the palace for the crown prince to live in. The big man has not established a crown prince for a long time, and only a queen dowager who has little power lives here..."

"If it wasn't for her being the late emperor's biological mother... Who would care about the status of a prince and concubine?"

Looking at the direction of the palace in front of him in a daze, the little eunuch had already entered the palace to make an announcement. Zhang Rang was not in a hurry, so he leaned on the stone lion at the door and stared blankly.

This Qing Palace... the so-called East Palace was built by him himself.Zhang Rang really misses returning to this place after many years.

In fact, what many people don't know is that Liu Hong, the emperor of the Han Dynasty in this generation, is not the son of Emperor Huan Liu Zhi of the Han Dynasty, but the eldest son of Tinghou Liu Chang.

When Emperor Huan Liu Zhigang died that year, it was the queen Dou Miao and Dou Miao's father Dou Wu who made the decisions, which helped Liu Hong from a son of a marquis to the status of the emperor.

It was also at that time that Zhang Rang met Liu Hong for the first time.

……

At that time, due to the constant conflicts between his biological mother and the queen mother, Liu Hong did not dare to send his biological mother Dong to live in the East Palace in Luoyang.

Dong's original residence in Luoyang is actually the current Jiade Hall in Nangong, which is where Liu Hong worked before.

Later, Empress Dowager Dou lost her own rights because her father, General Dou Wu, was murdered by the eunuch group at the time, so Dong officially moved out of the Jiade Palace and entered the Eastern Palace in Luoyang.

In order to show his filial piety to his biological mother, Liu Hong sent someone to renovate the entire East Palace, and Zhang Rang was the person in charge of the renovation.

Now in the blink of an eye, more than 20 years have passed. Zhang Rang has also changed from an ordinary "Zhongchang servant" at that time to a top official under one person and above ten thousand people. Liu Hong would call him "Let Father" to show his closeness.

After many years, when Zhang Rang stood in front of the gate of Yongle Palace in Luoyang East Palace again, the memories of the past flooded up like a tide.

……

"Hehe, Yongle Palace... What is this Yongle Palace? It is clear that the first emperor was afraid that Mrs. Dong would be lonely in this palace, so he ordered to change the name of this place to Yongle Palace, and the previous Yongle Palace clearly refers to Nangong. Jiade Hall."

"It's been so many years... It's been 20 years since that guy Dong Chong died. Now that I think about it, the time has passed really fast enough."

"Thinking about it this way, our family hasn't seen this Empress Dowager Dong for many years, right? I don't know if she still recognizes us."

Leaning against the door, pursing his lips and smiling slightly, Zhang Rang saw the return of the little eunuch whom he sent out to report from afar, and didn't say much, just adjusted his clothes like this, and then walked towards the palace very calmly.

"Changshi...Changshi! Empress Dowager Dong said that she is waiting for you in the palace now, please go in quickly!"

Out of breath, he informed Zhang Rang, and then the little eunuch followed Zhang Rang obediently, as if he was suppressing his heavy breathing.

Zhang Rang just "hmm" for a moment, and then slowly walked towards the depths of the East Palace while thinking about what to say next.

……

As soon as he entered the Yongle Palace, that is, the East Palace of the great man, Zhang Rang could clearly feel that a certain aura was slowly lingering around him.

Different from the dilapidated appearance outside, this East Palace can be said to be the palace with the highest greening rate and the best environment in the entire Luoyang Palace.

If the West Garden in Luoyang is a military center, the North Palace is the main hall of the imperial palace, and the South Palace is the daily office space, then the Luoyang East Palace is the only place that can barely be regarded as a living place.

This palace is not too big, but it gives people a warm and peaceful atmosphere from inside to outside.

……

"Zhang Rang, are you here?"
