"But the general director, even if the hussar general went south, he wouldn't publicly speak up for us …" Song Dian was very clear that the people of the world hated eunuchs. For his reputation, even if Yang Lin wanted to help them, it was only to help them in secret.

"We don't need his public support. As long as he doesn't say anything, no one will dare to act rashly." "Zhang Fu was very confident that as long as all parties maintained their balance, he would have the chance to rise again." Even if we fail, we will be closer to Hanoi than to Youzhou. "

Hearing that, Song Dian's face immediately revealed a pleased smile. That's right, as long as Yang Lin's army reached Hanoi, even if they wanted to leave, it would be a lot closer. In addition, Hanoi and the Luoyang are very close, it would be convenient for them to return to the Imperial Palace in the future. " Alright, we'll listen to the general director and stay in Luoyang for a while longer. "

"We can't just sit there and wait for death. We need to think of a way to deal with He Jin and Yuan Xuan. It doesn't matter if Yuan Zhong pretended that He Jin wrote an official letter or not, we will still go around spreading news and instigating a fight between He Jin and Yuan Zhong. " Chang was not an easy target; he would seize the opportunity to take the initiative.

"General director, I just received a piece of news." Empress Dowager He's mother, wuyang Jun, came to Luoyang and is currently in the palace to visit her daughter. " Just then, Li Yu, who had been silent all this time, suddenly said. Chief Steward, your daughter-in-law is her daughter, so you asked her to go and plead with his, so how can he not listen? "

"Good idea!" Upon hearing that the wuyang Jun had arrived, Zhang Liang was immediately beaming with joy. As long as he could think of a way to meet the wuyang Jun, he would definitely be able to persuade the Empress Dowager He and even He Jin. Even if he wouldn't be able to bring the Eunuch back to the Imperial Palace, at the very least, he would be able to make He Jin stop killing eunuchs. Oh heavens … You really haven't forgotten about us. "

Zhang Jean and wuyang Jun were old acquaintances, and his daughter-in-law was the daughter of the wuyang Jun, and his sister. Although Zhang Rong was a eunuch, all of the Eunuch had adopted sons, and just like a normal person, he had children and grandchildren.

Normally, Zhang Jean would not hesitate to smile in front of his juniors and would always put on a solemn face. But today, he came before daughter-in-law for the sake of these eunuchs. Without caring about the old man's inferiority, he kneeled in front of the daughter-in-law and cried out in pain.

"Now that I have committed the crime, my whole family should return to my hometown. Thinking of how my family had been blessed by the emperor for generations, and now had to leave the palace, he felt a great reluctance. I am willing to enter the palace and wait upon her once more so that I may see her for the time being, accept her colors, and then retreat into the ravine. I shall have no more grudges after my death! "

"Lord Father, please get up. Lord Father, quickly get up." Zhang Gong's kneeling caused the daughter-in-law to be extremely frightened. In this extremely feudal society, filial piety came first. Making one's own elders kneel was a capital offense.

"Do you know? Yuan Shao, this bastard, is trying to kill all the eunuchs who are returning to their hometown outside the Luoyang City, and Great General is ordering all the families and clans of the prefecture to arrest all the eunuchs. Now that you are also a member of the eunuch's family, they will not let you go … Your mother, wuyang Jun, is already in Luoyang. I am old, and it is not a pity that I am dead. But you are still young … "Your grandson is still young …"

It was unknown whether it was because he was truly moved by the feelings, or because his acting was too brilliant, but even he himself was touched as he cried. For all these years, he had relied on this set of skills to avoid danger in front of the Hanling Emperor Liu Hong.

When the daughter-in-law heard this, she was both scared and annoyed. Grand General Ho Jin capturing the family and clan of an eunuch, isn't this the same as capturing himself? "In order to curry favor with the eunuchs, you once married me to the son of a eunuch, and now you have turned hostile." I will go to the palace and look for Her Majesty. "

The reason the wuyang Jun came to the Luoyang was to pick queens for the Young Emperor. The Young Emperor was already fourteen years old and at the age of marriage, but the empress had yet to make a decision. It was a small issue for the emperor to take in as many concubines as he wanted, but it was a huge issue for him to choose the empress of a mother to rule the world.

That afternoon, the mother and daughter pair were in Changqiu Palace discussing about the Young Emperor's marriage when a palace maid suddenly came to report that the empress dowager's sister had come. wuyang Jun thought that his own daughter was here to see his mother, but unexpectedly, her daughter angrily walked in, and the moment she entered the door, she immediately kneeled down, and started speaking angrily.

"Empress Dowager, I am also a prisoner. Arrest me now, lest you send more people to my house to capture me. "If the neighbors saw it, they would see me in the dark and lose face for the empress dowager."

"Who said they wanted to capture you?" Not only was Empress Dowager He shocked, even he was confused. "Who dares to capture the empress dowager's sister in such a big Darky Court?" Which bastard did you hear that from? Who had the guts to capture my sister after eating the heartfelt cheetah? "

"Who else? Isn't that our big brother Great General? Not only did he send people to massacre the eunuchs who had returned to their hometowns outside the Luoyang City, he also ordered the various prefecture palaces to apprehend their eunuchs' families and clans. You married me to the son of a eunuch, and now you want to kill me. Mother, am I not your biological daughter? "

Empress Dowager He's sister would not cry like Zhang Jean, but he would righteously criticize wuyang Jun and Empress Dowager He. At that time, He Jin was the one who married her to Zhang Jean's son. You're all happy now, why am I hurt?

"How could this happen?" wuyang Jun turned his head and looked at his blankly. As a woman from the Nanyang,hee did not know much about politics. He thought that since her daughter was the empress dowager and her son was the Great General, she could do whatever she wanted.

"This is all because of big brother! In order to curry favor with the ministers and officials, he took out the eunuchs and chased out all of my trusted aides from the palace. " Empress Dowager He had suffered for such a long time and his heart was already raging. "It's fine if we chased him out of the palace, but I didn't expect that he would actually kill everyone!"

"This burly man is the greatest under the heavens, followed by the empress dowager. Everyone in the world should listen to the emperor and the empress dowager. wuyang Jun was also getting angry. He said angrily: "All these years, our Zhang family, Master Guo and Marquis Zhao helped us so much. How come he doesn't care about our feelings at all?"

"Someone, come …" Empress Dowager He became even more furious after being provoked by wuyang Jun. When a few palace maids ran in, she shouted almost angrily: "Immediately go find Great General, tell him that I have something to talk to him about and tell him to come to the Imperial Palace immediately."

Two hours later, the palace maids returned, but they did not see the figure of Grand General Ho Jin. The palace maid knelt in front of Empress Dowager He and said carefully: "Great General is not in his residence. His family members said that he went to the north side of the city to set up camp for him."

In truth, Yang Lin's army did not come, it was just that He Jin had given Zhang Liao, Gao Shun and the other riders to the Zhang Banxian from Ding Yuan's hands. Since the Zhang Banxian didn't have time to ask Yang Lin for permission, she could only allow the Grand General Ho Jin to call them cavalry of Youzhou.

"What?" What did you say? " Empress Dowager He suddenly stood up from his seat. he asked in surprise. This news was too sudden. She had been waiting for a long time, but when it came to real time, she actually found it hard to believe. You said the cavalry of Youzhou of the Hussar General Yang Lin is here? "

"Yes, I heard from the families on Great General's Estate that because they are all mounted soldiers, they need a lot of fodder. Great General's Sima Zhang Jin has already went to the West Garden Army to gather fodder for them." When the palace maid saw the empress dowager stand up, she quickly spoke with affirmation.

"Who is this person?" A hussar general actually had the Great General personally set up camp and gather food? " wuyang Jun had never heard of any hussar general before, and did not understand how a dignified Great General could go and be someone else's errand boy!

"Mother, this hussar general is the most combative general of our Darky Court, his cavalry is renowned throughout the world, and he is also loyal to the Emperor. I was the one who personally ordered them to come to the Luoyang." Empress Dowager He laughed, and said proudly: "Didn't they say they want to transfer troops to the Alliance? I would like to see who will be stronger! "

He Jin never thought that he would actually want to borrow the cavalry of Youzhou's fame to intimidate Dong Zhuo, but he actually gave his sister, Empress Dowager He, courage. In a short moment, Empress Dowager He became bold and angry, a rare smile blossomed on his face, and all the haze in the sky disappeared.

"Empress Dowager, since you've already transferred your troops, there's no need to look at the faces of the ministers anymore. It's best for you to pardon those eunuchs." Empress Dowager He's sister quickly seized the opportunity and walked forward to hold her sister's hand. "Empress Dowager, for the past, please give them a chance to live."

"No, we can't let them go!" The Empress Dowager He shook his head and said determinedly: "There are no eunuchs in the palace, I don't even have someone to discuss with. Even if they sent someone to deliver a message, it would be inconvenient for the palace maids. I must immediately issue an order for all the eunuchs to return to the palace. "

Zhang Can received the Empress Dowager He's order, he was so shocked that he could not even close his mouth. His own daughter-in-law had only been in the Imperial Palace for two hours, and yet he said that his Empress Dowager He had issued a decree, and even wanted all of the eunuchs to return to the Imperial Palace.

"Prepare the carriage, I want to go to the palace!" With no time to think, Zhang immediately rushed to the palace, a rare smile appearing on his gloomy face. The eunuchs had won again, though at a price, and they were back in the center of power.

When he rushed to the entrance of the palace, he saw that the Eunuch was already rushing towards the palace. When they saw Zhang Jean approach, they all crowded around him. It was as if they had just survived a disaster. Tears welled up in their eyes as they recounted their endless comradeship.

"Alright, alright, don't cry anymore. Hurry up and kowtow to the empress dowager." At this moment, Zhang Qingrong no longer had the time to be sad, as he still had a lot of things to do. With a wave of his hand, he drove the group of eunuchs into the palace.

"General director, wait." Just then, Song Dian ran over. He pulled Zhang Jean over, gave him a mysterious smile, and the two of them walked towards a quiet place. "Chief Steward, do you know why Her Majesty suddenly summoned us to the palace?"

"I was wondering too." Zhang Gong himself did not believe that his daughter-in-law would give him such face. Even if Empress Dowager He didn't kill him on account of his sister, he wouldn't summon all of the eunuchs back to the palace. He followed Song Dian to a secluded place and stopped in his tracks. "Quickly tell me what's going on?"
