However, these warriors had one common enemy, which was a eunuch led by the Chinese traditional medicine. Since the beginning of time, the officials had been dissatisfied with the misrule of the eunuchs, and quarreled with the eunuchs many times, but in the end, they were imprisoned by the eunuchs as a "member of the Communist Party". After two massacres, the Man of the World and the eunuchs had formed a blood feud.

The reason why He Jin recruited such famous people was not just to put on airs. As a butcher, He Jin had a meteoric rise because of his mother's love for him. He became the Great General and was conferred the title of Marquis. But to be an official, one has to deal with all sorts of things, and these men can work for themselves.

However, these scholars had stated their condition, and that was to kill the eunuchs. In fact, they were not only taking revenge for the Man of the World, they were also doing so for the good of the entire world, and at the same time, for their own safety. Who knew when the eunuchs would raise their butchered sabers again?

When Yuan Shao mentioned about Dou Wu, it did deeply hurt him. Even if it wasn't for the sake of these scholars, but just for his own sake, he should have killed these eunuchs. His sister, brother, and mother were bewitched by the immediate benefits, and he could not afford to be careless.

"These eunuchs should indeed be killed. I wish I could hack them into a thousand pieces." He Jin frowned, gritting his teeth as he cursed. He turned around and said to Yuan Shao: "However, we need to send some people to help the hussar general first, his army is not far from there."

"Don't worry Great General, the advisor Master Tutor met just now was Zhang Ling, the person who killed Jian Shuo. He repeatedly guaranteed that the hussar general would only listen to the Young Emperor's imperial edict, and did not have any intentions of doing so in the imperial court. If it wasn't for Young Emperor's orders, he definitely wouldn't have crossed the Yellow River. "

It was because he received Yang Lin's guarantee that Yuan Zhong called for Yuan Shao in a hurry to encourage him to kill his eunuch. Yuan Yuan's goal was very clear, He Jin had killed the eunuchs, so he could only rely on them to rule the world, and the scholars could stand up again.

"All right, I'll write to Her Majesty immediately and ask her to agree to the murder of the eunuch." Since He Jin did not dare to enter the palace, he could only send a letter to the Empress Dowager He. To a Great General, not even daring to enter the imperial palace was a great wonder of the world.

When Empress Dowager He finished reading Grand General Ho Jin's letter, his face was also full of confusion and hesitated for a moment. As the queen of the court, there was no conflict of interest between her and the eunuchs. Furthermore, the eunuchs had helped her greatly since she was able to become the Empress and receive Hanling Emperor's favor. Thus, she did not have the will to kill them.

However, she also knew that her position and the Young Emperor's could not be separated from the Grand General Ho Jin. Only under the protection of the Great General would they be able to sit steadily in the palace. Because of this, she was in a dilemma. The eunuch and the external relatives were a dead knot that could never be untied.

"Empress Dowager, I heard that the Great General has sent a letter to the empress dowager?" It was unknown when, Zhang Jean, Zhao Zhong, Song Dian and a few other eunuchs appeared in front of Empress Dowager He like ghosts. Their noses were very sensitive, as if they were sensing danger.

"Take it and take a look." Empress Dowager He glanced at the eunuchs and passed the letter to Zhang Jean. It had already been more than ten years, and Empress Dowager He seemed to have gotten used to it. If there was anything difficult, she would always look for these eunuchs to discuss, even if it was difficult to kill them!

Zhang Jean hurriedly glanced at her and knelt on the ground with a thump. In an instant, tears fell like rain. "Oh, empress dowager …" We servants are all loyal to the empress dowager … Back then when the first emperor and the empress dowager were at odds, we almost crippled the empress dowager. It was us servants crying as we solved the problem, giving our treasures as gifts.

Zhao Zhong and Song Dian were stunned for a moment, then hurriedly received the letter. After reading a few lines just now, they also kneeled on the ground and cried. These eunuchs had lived in the palace for dozens of years, and they had long since mastered the art of adaptability. Tears came easily, and it was even more convenient than running water.

"Ah, empress dowager … This subject shall not lament over his death, but I am afraid that the Empress Dowager and the Emperor will be tricked by the Great General, and will have to repeat the incident where the Great General, Liang Yi, monopolized the imperial court, and harmed the nation. "

Empress Dowager He was stunned. Back then, the incident of the Great General's Liang Yi being the sole ruler of the imperial court was not too far away, and she could not help but feel a chill coming from her back. Even though she was her older brother, she had to be on guard. Since ancient times, there had never been a relationship in the Overlord's family. She waved her hand, allowing the eunuchs to stand up.

"Forget it, forget it. Didn't I say that I would kill you?" Since ancient times, it had always been the eunuchs who were in charge of matters within the Imperial Palace. This traditional system of the Han Dynasty could not be destroyed. Furthermore, first emperor has just passed away, how can I neatly work together with a scholar? "

"The general wants to kill us. He seems to be the nation, but he is actually the enemy …" "I don't know if the empress dowager has ever thought about it, but once the Great General kills the close servants of my side, the empress dowager will not be able to work with the scholar. With regards to matters of the imperial court, the empress dowager will have to decide them all by himself, so where will we place the empress dowager?"

Although he hadn't read many books, Empress Dowager He still understood one basic principle, which was that he couldn't let the eunuchs control the power and the foreigners control the power. Only by allowing the two sides to fight each other over the power, would he be able to control the other side.

"The reason the Great General is becoming more and more arrogant is because he alone controls the northern troop and the authority of the West Garden Army. How about this, I will let you guys nominate one person to lead the West Garden Army, what do you think? "

"Empress Dowager, you mustn't!"

Zhang Jean reacted quickly and immediately shook his head. Ever since He Jin took over West Garden Army and chased away all the eunuchs in West Garden Army, he changed them all to Scholar. If he were to send a eunuch to take over the military power, he would definitely enrage He Jin and force him to take the risk.

"Empress Dowager, let General Che command the West Garden Army. After the rider took control of the West Garden Army, he started to fight evenly with the northern troop of the Great General. With the restriction of the Great General, they could not take over the imperial government and do whatever they wanted. And with the help of two brothers, the empress dowager will have nothing to worry about. "

"A rider general?" Regarding her own brother He Miao, Empress Dowager He still understood him very well. Other than relying on her sister's power to make a name for herself, she had no ability to do so. Empress Dowager He opened his eyes wide and asked in disbelief: "Can he do it?"

"Empress Dowager, it's not like we're leading soldiers to war. What's wrong with that?" It was precisely because He Miao was not good that Zhang Quian recommended him. It was much better than letting a eunuch take over West Garden Army. Zhang Jean had a serious look on his face as he said slowly: "I can't ride a carriage to fight, could it be that I can't defend the Luoyang City?"

"Good idea!" Someone, come … Immediately send my orders, ordering rider general He Miao to enter the palace. " He Jin would never enter the palace even if he was beaten to death, so Empress Dowager He could only send her own brother, He Miao, to meet her, and then ask him to meet He Jin again, and pass her meaning to He Jin.

With the imperial edict in her hand, He Miao felt extremely bitter in his heart. In the depths of his heart, he did not have the ambition to fight for power with her brother. She did not have the ability to lead troops.

But his sister was not going to let him go, she wanted him to take over the West Garden Army. It could even be said that they were doing it for the big man's land and for the He family's foundation. Although He Miao didn't have much ability, she was not an idiot either. He understood that this was her little sister trying to balance Big Brother.

When He Miao returned to the Lance General Residence, she sent someone to Great General's Estate to investigate. There were also his people in the Great General's Estate, and the message she received made He Miao feel at ease. So it turned out that the Great General did not go into a rage after receiving the Emperor's decree. Only then did He Miao go to see He Jin.

He Miao walked into the Great General's Estate and arrived above the great hall. However, sshe saw that He Jin was sitting alone on the great hall. When He Miao saw He Jin, he could not help but be a little scared. He timidly walked to He Jin's side, bowed and called out, "Big brother …"

"You even know that you have a big brother like me …" He Jin slapped the table fiercely and bellowed: "I've been sick for such a long time, why haven't you come to see me? Where did you go when I needed you most? What are you and that group of eunuchs doing behind me? "

Of course, He Miao knew what kind of sickness He Jin had, and also knew what He Jin wanted him to do. However, he didn't want to say it out loud, so she could only smile and retort, "It's little brother's fault, little brother is apologizing. However, when the first emperor passed away and the Empress Dowager left me in the palace to do this and that, how could I have the time … "Big brother, you don't seem to be sick right now. Why don't you go to the palace and see the empress dowager?"

"What do you know?" He Jin glared fiercely at He Miao, and could not help but slap him on the face as he said unhappily: "Those eunuchs and eunuchs have treated me as a thorn in their side, as they try to think of ways to kill me. I am unable to defend against them, how do I enter the palace?"

"Big Brother, think back to when we came here from the Nanyang. It is precisely because of the help of these eunuchs that our younger sister obtained the favor of the palace and established our footing in the Luoyang. What deep grievances do those eunuchs have with us? "

What He Miao said was not wrong. As their external relative, they did not have any irreconcilable enmity with the eunuchs. Furthermore, they were the beneficiaries of these eunuchs. Now that the Young Emperor's alliance to the throne had been dissolved, those eunuchs would only follow closely behind the He Clan and would never make an enemy out of the He Clan.

"Second brother, you are too childish. Think about how Great General died? How did Empress Dowager Dou die? How did Dou Shi's several hundred years of foundation ruin his reputation once? How many Great General s were still alive after they were castrated? The despotic Great General Liang Yi has already been killed by the Castrates, so how about me? "

He Jin was much more clear-headed than He Miao, and he firmly remembered the lesson of the previous dynasty. Historically, in the fight between the outer court and eunuchs, the one who lost was always the outer court. The eunuchs had helped them before, but that had also helped them. The eunuchs were less willing to see the sages in power than the outsiders.

"Big Brother, even if you kill Eunuch, what can you do? Those soldiers killed you right after. "Don't forget, in the eyes of those scholars, you are just a butcher. None of them think highly of you!"

He Miao laughed coldly, and said with ridicule. He Miao was pointing at something when she said it. He Jin had once proposed to Wang Qian for his children, so as He Jin's subordinate, Wang Qian marrying a Great General was naturally something he wished for. But as a descendant of a famous father, Wang Qian snorted disdainfully and firmly refused the marriage.
