"General director, the hussar general's army has arrived at the Luoyang's North Gate. They are camping right now." Song Dian said excitedly with a face full of smiles. Can you imagine? The Grand General Ho Jin had actually gone to set up camp and gather food for the hussar general.
"So that's the case …" "Zhang Jean's smile slowly faded from his face, and he frowned again." Didn't Zhou Yong say that he wouldn't enter the Luoyang without the Emperor's orders? Now that there is no royal decree, why did he suddenly send his army to the Luoyang? "
"Who knows why?" Song Dian didn't have any other thoughts. The fact that the Eunuch was able to return to the palace meant that Zhou Yong's army was working. You don't need to think too much. As long as Zhou Yong's army is here, no matter if it's He Jin or Dong Zhuo, don't dare to do anything to us? "
"You're right. Let's go see the empress dowager." Zhang Jean waved his hands, and the two of them walked towards the Changqiu Palace together. However, Zhang Jean was still muttering in his heart, could it be that Zhou Yong had come over at this time, also thinking of taking advantage of the chaos in Luoyang to the imperial government to get a share of the spoils?
The sunset could only make use of a small gap in the sky, as streaks of red light shot out and shone on the walls of the imperial palace, painting the entire imperial palace into a golden light, just like the last ray of light in Darkhan Dynasty.
Inside and outside the Changqiu Palace s were kneeling and crying loudly. The pain these Eunuch had been suppressing for a long time burst out at this moment. They used their wails to vent their grievances and helplessness, and used their tears to pour out their miserable lives. It was their crying and crying that announced the destruction of Darkhan Dynasty.
"Ah, empress dowager … The Tutor Yuan Wu used the name of the Great General to kill the eunuchs who had returned to their hometowns. Capturing the families and clans of the eunuchs was truly an unforgivable crime … Empress Dowager … "You have to seek justice for the servants …" Inside the Changqiu Palace, those kneeling were all great eunuchs like the Chinese traditional medicine and Little Yellow Gate. The moment they returned to the palace, they were already prepared to launch a counterattack.
"Alright, alright, we'll investigate this thoroughly. If this really happens, I definitely won't let you off." Empress Dowager He did not know whether it was He Jin or Yuan Wu who did it, so he could only deal with it first. There was one thing she understood. No matter if it was He Jin or Yuan Zhong, they could not move.
"Majesty, there is one thing that must be done without delay." Zhang Jean waved his hand and everyone immediately quietened down: "hussar general's army has arrived at Luoyang, they must use this opportunity to order all foreign troops to leave Luoyang and return to their own base. Even hussar general should return and camp in Hanoi."
"Oh …" "Why?" She could understand why she let the other foreign troops leave the Luoyang. She had let Zhou Yong's army come, and she had even hoped that Zhou Yong could remain in the Luoyang. If Zhou Yong's army left, wouldn't she have to see He Jin's face again?
"Empress Dowager, if these foreign generals stay in Luoyang, they will definitely interfere with the imperial government." This was what Zhang Yang was worried about, for such a strong general like Zhou Yong to stay in Luoyang, how could he even have a chance to speak? Great General luring foreign troops into the capital has already broken the rule of the burly man. If we let the foreign generals interfere with the imperial government, there will be endless troubles in the future … "
"But what if Zhou Yong's great army leaves, and the Great General wants to kick you out?" In fact, the Empress Dowager He was worried for himself, she did not want to live in the shadow of He Jin. This time, He Jin had led the troops into the capital, causing her to be extremely wary of He Jin.
"Empress Dowager, it's still the same old method. Let the Great General take control of the northern army, and let the cavalry general take control of the West Garden Army, the Empress Dowager will be able to rest in peace." As long as the two brothers He Jin and He Miao mutually restricted each other, not only the empress dowager would have no worries, even the eunuchs would have no worries.
Empress Dowager He was a little hesitant. She was really a little reluctant to ask Zhou Yong to leave after a moment of comfort. But thinking about how Zhou Yong's great army would be right next to the Luoyang, she finally understood. Alright, issue the order immediately, and let all the foreign troops leave the Luoyang, and return to their respective locations. "
"It's been three days. What are you doing? Why haven't you killed all of those adulterous castration s?!" Yuan Yuan glared at Yuan Shao angrily and bellowed. When he just left the imperial court and saw Eunuch returning to the Imperial Palace with an edict, Yuan Yuan's anger surged. He immediately summoned Yuan Shao and started reprimanding him right in front of his face.
Yuan Shao had just found out that Eunuch had returned to the Imperial Palace and was feeling depressed in his heart. Suddenly, he was yelled at by Yuan Gui, and his stomach was filled with grievance, "Uncle and Uncle, you have killed dozens of people in the first two days, but from the third day onwards, Eunuch was so scared that he did not dare to leave the city.
"It's my fault that I was too lenient and failed to cut the grass at its roots." At that time when Yuan Shao killed someone outside the city, it was also Yuan Zhong's idea, so Yuan Shao couldn't be blamed. This will be troublesome, once those Eunuch s return to the palace, they won't dare to do anything to the Great General, so they will definitely make a move on us. "
"They wouldn't dare to either!" Yuan Shao laughed and said with complete confidence: "We already have many armies at our disposal, if you make me anxious, you can come to the Luoyang City to kill them. Furthermore, Dong Zhuo is still stationed at the Sunset Pavilion. He is a butcher, Eunuch would not dare to offend him. "
"Haven't you heard? hussar general's army of Zhou Yong's had already reached the Luoyang's North Gate and were camping. And, in order to curry favor with Zhou Yong, Great General had even personally gone to help him gather food. " Yuan Yuan snorted coldly and said with disdain, "With Zhou Yong's army here, how could Dong Zhuo dare to act rashly?"
"Hahaha …" Uncle and Uncle, you were also deceived by He Jin. " Yuan Shao started laughing loudly. Seeing that Yuan Huo was anxious, Yuan Shao immediately said, "At the beginning, I thought that it was hussar general Zhou Yong's army that had arrived, so we hurriedly sent people to investigate. Who would have known that the Great General would assign Zhang Liao, Gao Shun and the two thousand cavalrymen that were under Ding Yuan's command to the instructor of the hussar general, and use the cavalry of Youzhou's banner to set up camp in the north of the city.
"Oh …" Why did the Grand General Ho Jin do this? " Yuan Wu who was an expert at scheming, always thought that others were scheming as well. He immediately frowned, and guessed what kind of trick He Jin had. How could He Jin bear to give two thousand cavalrymen to someone else?
"I think it's because hussar general Zhou Yong didn't want to cross the river, and Grand General Ho Jin wanted to use Zhou Yong's banner to scare people off, that's why he acted out like that." Yuan Shao laughed and taunted: "He is only scaring people who don't know the truth. Once Zhou Yong enters Hanoi, maybe even these two thousand cavalrymen will be transferred to Hanoi."
"No matter what happens, they are under Zhou Yong's banner, and they are led by his advisor. Zhou Yong was extremely strong, if there was nothing else, she wouldn't provoke him, otherwise he wouldn't be able to stand up for himself. At this time, one more friend and one more way, and an enemy will be formed to tear down a bridge. " Yuan Yuan immediately instructed Yuan Shao, he did not want to offend him.
"Of course I won't provoke him. I believe that he won't provoke us either." Yuan Shao nodded his head, and said seriously: "The situation now is very clear, for the sake of self-preservation, it is very likely that the adulterous castration will join hands with them. We can't passively take a beating, so we should take the initiative. "
"You're right. I will immediately contact a few ministers and report this to them, and strongly request Empress Dowager He to kick Eunuch out of the palace. " Yuan Yuan vigorously waved his hand, his eyes filled with fighting spirit: "Go immediately to Grand General Ho Jin, pretend to not know anything, encourage Great General to take advantage of Zhou Yong's army's arrival to eradicate the eunuch, this time you must bring the Eunuch to death."
He Jin was drinking in the camp of Zhang Banxian when he suddenly heard from his subordinate that the empress dowager had recalled all the eunuchs back to the palace. This shocked He Jin greatly. He was currently thinking of a way for Dong Zhuo to retreat and stabilize the Luoyang. With the empress dowager seizing the peace like this, he was afraid that something bad would happen. He Jin thought about it, and in the end decided to personally go to the palace to persuade the empress dowager.
Because the eunuchs had entered the palace, He Jin started to worry. For safety sake, the Grand General Ho Jin had Wu Qong and Zhang Zhang led a hundred cavalrymen and three hundred personal guards to accompany them. He also urgently ordered Hu Ben to take care of Yuan Shu and the one thousand guards with him outside the Nan Gong Residence.
He Jin came to the Empress Dowager He alone and patiently explained to the Empress Dowager He that he had no intention to kill his eunuchs. It was Yuan Wu, that old bastard, that ordered Yuan Shao to do so. He also asked the Empress Dowager He to allow the eunuchs to leave the palace temporarily. As long as Dong Zhuo withdrew his troops and returned to the West Cold, it would not be too late to let the eunuchs return to the palace.
But Empress Dowager He did not believe in He Jin anymore, he just did not agree to his request. Furthermore, he said that Zhou Yong's army had already reached the Luoyang, so he didn't dare not go back. He Jin could only tell Empress Dowager He the truth, saying that it was Ding Yuan's team. In the end, she was so angry that she scolded He Jin loudly, saying that He Jin had deceived her on purpose.
He Jin fainted, he was so angry that he almost vomited blood. The brother and sister duo fought for a long time, but still couldn't say anything. He Jin was very disappointed. He didn't want to debate over this matter for too long. After he gained control of the situation in the Luoyang, he would do whatever he wanted.
After exiting the Changqiu Palace, He Jin sprinted along the road. Just as he was about to reach the palace gate, a medium yellow door came flying over, and shouted while panting: "Great General, please take care. The empress dowager's imperial decree announces that the Great General will receive it from the Gardner Hall. "
Ever since Hanling Emperor Liu Hong died in Gardner Hall, this place had become a place for ministers to discuss things. As the Gardner Hall was closer to the Changqiu Palace, the empress dowager could immediately know the outcome of the court meeting. She could then have the Chinese traditional medicine pass her opinion to the ministers in charge of the court meeting.
Generally speaking, only grand decrees which were related to the fate of the nation would be issued in the Gardner Hall. He Jin immediately thought that perhaps the Empress Dowager agreed to his suggestion and wanted to chase the eunuchs out of the palace once again. He Jin was extremely happy in his heart, after that he quickly followed the several yellow sects and headed towards the Gardner Hall.
At this time, the sky had already darkened and the Gardner Hall was already holding a light. Under the bright light, He Jin saw the furious Zhang Jean, Zhao Zhong, Guo Sheng and more than ten other Chinese traditional medicine s, Little Yellow Gate. Before he could regain his senses, dozens of Young Eunuch with swords in their hands rushed out from the two sides of the hall and surrounded him.
"What are you guys doing?" He Jin looked at the furious eunuchs contemptuously, and said angrily. He knew that he had been fooled, that these eunuchs had used the Empress Dowager's imperial edict to trick him into entering the Gardner Hall. He forced himself to calm down.
Guo Sheng started to scold him immediately, following that, Zhao Zhong, Song Dian and the others also started to criticize He Jin in anger. Zhang Jean's face was gloomy as he coldly looked at everything. When everyone was satisfied with their scolding, Zhang Ren said indifferently: "Great General, can we talk?"
"What do we have to talk about?" He Jin knew that the eunuchs had something to ask of him, and said coldly.
