Chapter 34 Bring chaos into Beijing

Half a month passed in the blink of an eye, and He Jin still failed to convince the Queen Mother.On the contrary, He Miao's side is in full swing with successive victories. The gold and silver treasures collected by the ten permanent servants in those years have now arrived at the Cheqi General's Mansion. Every word of He Miao is very important in the Queen Mother's mind. Under the flattery of Chang Shi, he was canonized as Lord Wuyang.Zhang Rang and Zhao Zhong sucked hemorrhoids to flatter them, and they did not hesitate to call Mrs. He, who was about the same age, as their grandmother.

The Great General's Mansion is brightly lit every night, and the plot to kill the eunuch is carried out in a stately place. Everyone in Luoyang knows what He Jin and the others are going to do, so where is there any secret? He Jin's graceful and chubby face has lost weight, and his eyes are bloodshot. These days, he is suffering from double torture.As long as he enters the palace, he will definitely be reprimanded by his younger sister. She firmly does not allow eunuchs to be killed, and the inner court is replaced by scholars.But when he returned home from the palace, the group headed by Yuan Shao waited for him full of impassionedness—with such a splint, it would be better to go back to the Nanyang market to kill pigs!

There were fewer and fewer subordinates in the hall of the shogunate. Some said goodbye face to face, some left letters, some asked for foreign appointments, and some, like Tian Feng and the others, left quietly without saying hello.He Jin understood that he was too cowardly and incompetent, and they didn't want to mess with him anymore.He once tried to get rid of Yuan Shao, and wanted to marry his daughter to Wang Can, Wang Qian's son, so as to maintain the current shogunate team through the relationship between his children and relatives, but Wang Qian sternly refused.It seems that if we don't kill all the eunuchs, sooner or later these people will disperse.

"General, are you still unable to make a decision on this matter?" Yuan Shao stopped yelling, and had enough tossing these days. "My great general was obtained by relying on my younger sister, how can I kill her first and play later behind her back?" Pang Ji listened to it for a long time, and now he simply made it clear: "The general took care of the chariot general and replaced you." He Jin also knew that family ugliness should not be publicized, and sighed: "They are all relatives of the family, he..." Pang Ji was too lazy to listen to his nonsense, and interrupted: "The general should understand that sooner or later the emperor will be in charge of the government. You should get rid of the traitors as soon as possible, and don't let them harm the new emperor. Since ancient times, it is the biggest The merits. If the general accomplishes this, he will definitely gain the trust of the emperor in the future."

Regarding the private affairs of the He family, Cao Cao didn't dare to say a word. Now he has gradually seen Yuan Shao's wishful thinking.As long as the eunuchs are removed, the empress dowager and the emperor can only use scholars around them, and allies who can help their relatives suppress the officials will no longer exist. At that time, the He family will lose its connection with the emperor, He Jin and He Miao will also be isolated, eunuchs and relatives will be eliminated, and the scholars will benefit in the end.Cao Cao watched He Jin helplessly, he couldn't bear this simple and honest man being used by Yuan Shao.

Yuan Shao patted his swollen forehead, seemingly helpless: "Since the general can't argue with the queen mother, then... let's put some pressure on the queen mother, so that she has to kill the eunuch due to the situation." "Is there such a way?" He Jin seemed to see some hope of relief. "Don't worry, General, this method of mine will definitely not cause the General to turn against the Empress Dowager, and the Empress Dowager will naturally get rid of the eunuch." Yuan Shao lowered his head and fondled his sword. "If you have such a good idea, why didn't you talk about it earlier? Tell me, what is the solution?" He Jin's eyes lit up immediately.

Yuan Shao put down his sword, looked around the crowd and said, "Let's secretly dispatch troops from all over the world to force the Queen Mother to make a decision in the name of begging eunuchs from the Qing emperor's side!" The people present paused for a while before trying to understand the horror of this matter.Chen Lin and Chen Kongzhang were the first to stand up and object: "No way! Doing things like this will set you on fire." "Why not? Let's exercise restraint secretly and not allow them to enter the capital, isn't it all right?" Yuan Shao ignored Chen Lin, but looked straight at He Jin, "General, this is the only way to preserve the dignity of you and the queen mother .In the past when the Qi State was in chaos, Emperor Xiaojing killed Chao Cuo first!"

Cao Cao couldn't listen anymore: "Benchu! Although Emperor Xiaojing killed Chao Cuo, it didn't quell the rebellion! Besides, there is no rebellion now, so you are stirring up disasters and making trouble out of nothing." "This is also a helpless move." Pang Ji immediately retorted, "Meng De, you are too inconsiderate of the general's difficulties. Besides, only by doing this can you save the left and right. The general will have to assist the government in the future! You can't replace him Think about it?" "Pang Yuantu! Don't be so tricky!" Feng Fang couldn't hold back his anger. "You keep saying that you are loyal to the general. You know that once all the soldiers and horses enter Henan, the capital will be in chaos."

"It's a pity that you are still fighting men, and you are afraid of even this little thing. You are not as good as a scholar like me." Pang Ji sneered, "What do you lead soldiers for? Don't you know how to defend Luoyang? Is it difficult for you two to break up the old relationship? , are you still reluctant to take the lives of those eunuchs?" Cao Cao and Feng Fang were originally reasonable, but they were afraid of revealing their faults when they spoke. How could they bear it when Pang Ji used the things they cared most about to sarcasm?Feng Fang got anxious and pulled out her sword: "Say it again, I will kill you first!"

The hall exploded immediately, everyone was divided into two factions in an instant, one group supported Yuan Shao, and the other group opposed it, and the two sides argued endlessly.He Jin looked at the scene in front of him, and couldn't bear it any longer: "Stop making trouble! I... I... At the beginning, are you sure about your plan?" He hesitated for a long time, but still wanted to consult Yuan Shao's intentions. . Yuan Shao immediately saluted and said: "Yes! Ding Yuan's soldiers are close at hand, call him to the capital quickly, shout the words from the Qing emperor, and spread them to the capital, the queen mother will definitely obey."

"No, no!" Cao Cao immediately retorted, "The Bingzhou army is all Huns and Tuge. If these people refuse to obey discipline, they will inevitably cause chaos." "Then recruit Dong Zhuo to Beijing again, wouldn't it be enough for the two of you to keep each other in check?" Pang Jixin said. "Don't you know that Dong Zhuo's support is full of evil intentions?" "What do you know, recruit a few more people, and they will check each other, so there will be no big chaos. Didn't Bao Xin pay homage to the captain of cavalry in Taishan? Ask him to lead the army to Beijing, you have to trust him, right?" Pang Ji eloquently said, "Qiaomao, the prefect of Dongjun, after a famous family, you should be able to trust it, right? There are also several subordinates Zhang Yang and Wu Qiuyi who are leading the army outside, and tell them to lead the army to Henan. You should trust it, right?" Cao Cao was at a loss for words for a while, this method sounds like that, but no one can predict what will happen when it happens.He thought for a moment, then breathed a sigh of relief: "Even so, this matter still needs to be carefully planned. Soldiers are fierce, so it's better not to use it as much as possible." Perhaps He Jin wanted to get rid of his own embarrassment earlier, so he promised: "Since we are sure at the beginning, let's do this. At the beginning, I would like to ask you to quickly recruit all the generals to Beijing, and tell them to play a full-fledged banner. Once threatened, my sister agreed." "How could the general do such an absurd act?" Chen Lin knelt on the ground, "There is a saying that 'there is no danger of deer', and there is a folk proverb 'cover your eyes and catch birds'. Husbands and small things can't be deceived to achieve success, what's more How can the great affairs of the country be deceitful? Nowadays, the great general, the president, Huang Wei, holds the military power in his hands, and walks like a dragon and a tiger. If he intends to kill the eunuchs, it is like a drum to burn the hair and ears! The husband violates the rules and principles, and no one obeys. , but to release sharp weapons and recruit foreign aid. When the soldiers gather, the strong will be the hero. The so-called upside down fights and gives others a handle. When the big event fails, the world will be in chaos!" crashed. He Jin hurried over and took Chen Lin with both hands: "Why are you doing this? Let's settle this matter earlier, that's all." "It's over," Chen Lin was about to cry, "Once the soldiers arrive in Luoyang, they must go their own way, so there is no end!" "I think Ben Chu's words are right and clear, so let's try. Give me some face." "Face? The world's major events are all about face?" Chen Lin pushed his hand away, her eyes widened and she shook her head, "I won't tell you... I won't tell you..." He staggered to the entrance of the hall in a daze , and turned back, "General, please do it yourself." Seeing that Chen Lin was gone, Feng Fang returned the sword and roared, "Okay, I'll go too! I'm a son-in-law of an eunuch, and I'm not worthy to talk to you clean people. I'm self-righteous! Bah!" Then she stared at Pang Ji With one glance, he flicked his sleeves and walked away.As soon as he left, the two lieutenants, Xia Mou and Zhao Rong, couldn't bear it any longer, and they all cupped their hands and said, "General, I have some important matters to attend to in the camp, so I will leave for now." After finishing speaking, they hurriedly waited for He Jin's reply. I hid when I was busy. Cao Cao saw that they were so decisive that they forced all the school lieutenants away, so he also bowed his hands and wanted to retreat.Yuan Shao grabbed him tightly: "Meng De, you and I have known each other for many years, we have been through troubles together, don't you even trust me, brother?" Seeing him looking at him solemnly, Cao Cao's intention to leave gradually dissipated, and he said slowly: "At first... I advise you to be cautious." "Everyone sit down and talk, let's sit down and talk!" He Jin quickly smoothed things over, "At the beginning, I don't think everyone has figured it out yet, so please explain your method in detail." Yuan Shao sat down and said eloquently: "The ten permanent servants rely on General Chariot and Lord Wuyang. This mother and son speak to the Empress Dowager, so the Empress Dowager cannot make a decision. For the current plan, enter the pass with a strong army, approach Luoyang, and plant banners everywhere. , saying that the emperor of the Qing Dynasty punished the eunuchs. The emperor is still young, and the queen mother is a girl. Hearing this news, he must be terrified, and punish the eunuchs to retreat the heavy troops. Moreover, the officials of the court also have a choice when they hear the news. As he said that, he took out the geographical map of Henan and the yellow map of Sanfu from his sleeve, pointed and said: "Now Ding Yuan has been transferred to Captain Wumeng, and his soldiers are the closest, so he can lead his troops to cross the river to Mengjin to raise fire to warn of large-scale riots." Momentum. If this fails, Bingzhou soldiers can be sent again. Dong Zhuo has not yet taken up his post, so he can order Zhang Yang, Sima Xiyuan who sits in Bingzhou, and Zhang Liao, who is in charge of Bingzhou, to send troops south to Henan." "These barbarian soldiers are here, how can we ensure the safety of the capital?" Wang Qian interjected. "It doesn't matter. I, Meng De and other school lieutenants and the Northern Army battalion are on our own guard." Yuan Shao smiled relaxedly, "Actually, it's all negotiated. We'll just play around and there won't be any trouble." Cao Cao nodded and said: "There is no problem in guarding the capital, but what if the Queen Mother still cannot agree?" "It doesn't matter, we can send a few more soldiers." Yuan Shao pointed to the map, "Bao Xin is in Jibei, let him send troops here too. Qiao Mao, the prefect of Dongjun, is the nephew of the Qiaoxuan clan. This person is quite reliable. He led troops to garrison Chenggao, showing off his military power. Brother Wang Kuangxian went to Dongzhou for a long time, and gave him a letter, telling him to go to Taishan County to send out his strong crossbow as a form of repair, pretending to be Bao Xin and Qiao Mao's backup. Finally. Wu Qiuyi, who was working in Danyang in the south, asked him to come from the south; he wrote a letter to Dong Zhuo, who was going to Bingzhou from Liangzhou, and asked him to come from the west. In this way, the queen mother will be afraid if the army is raised in all directions. As long as she is afraid , this matter is considered complete." Yuan Shao took a breath after finishing speaking, "After killing the eunuchs, let's each write a book to tell them to stop fighting." "What if they refuse to retreat?" Cao Cao continued to ask, "Especially Ding Yuan and Dong Zhuo, these two old soldiers, their subordinates are all barbarians, so it's not easy to dispatch them." "It doesn't matter, if the two of them arrive in Luoyang, they will restrain each other, and then let our soldiers come in." Yuan Shao looked back at Pang Ji, "As brother Pang Xian said, they will not dare to It’s a mess. Meng De, we both have soldiers in our hands! The few of us plus the Northern Army, are we afraid that they will turn against us temporarily?” He Jin smiled at this moment: "Yes, at least my sister and I won't hurt our friendship if we act like this. I think this is a good way!" Cao Cao thought to himself: "What's the matter? Isn't this a feudal lord? The country's soldiers and horses are for the protection of the country and the people, and for your brothers and sisters to engage in such absurd farce, what do you think of us generals?" I feel pitiful for He Jin. From this moment on, I suddenly feel that this person is hateful. That kind of incompetence and indecision is so disgusting! Seeing that they were silent, Yuan Shao added with a smile: "Everyone, don't be nervous, these passers-by won't be able to reach Luoyang. For example, Dong Zhuo, who is far away from Sanfu, is supervising the slow progress of the brigade. Let's issue a letter now, By the time he gets here, the matter may be over long ago!" Cao Cao still couldn't laugh. Look at all the people present, Wang Qian, He Yong, and Cui Jun all bowed their heads in silence. Everyone's heart is still uncertain! "General, make a quick decision!" Pang Ji struck while the iron was hot. "Okay," He Jin was full of confidence, "I don't quite understand what's going on here...Wang Changshi, just follow the original intention!" "No." Wang Qian stood up and replied, "But General, it seems that this matter cannot be dispatched in the name of the court." "Of course not!" Yuan Shao raised his eyebrows, "Didn't you tell the queen mother all the edicts? Let's act with the seal of the general." Wang Qian is the long history, and the responsibility lies, and the ugly words must be said first: "If there is no imperial edict to deploy troops privately, once something goes wrong, who will bear the responsibility?" He Jin seemed to have relaxed his mind: "Oh, let's do this! It's been so long, and it's been settled long ago, so I can sleep soundly."
