"Great General, let's not talk about our past grudges. Let's talk about the present." Zhang Jean stared at He Jin and said slowly: "If we continue to fight like this, we will definitely lose out on each other and benefit that old bastard Yuan Jun. When they turn around, the ones who were killed were not only us, but your He clan as well. "
"I don't want to fight you either! But you have done so much evil that the heavens are angry and the people resent you, and all the scholars in the world hate you. If you don't leave the palace, no one under heaven will agree. " He Jin shook his head and said expressionlessly.
"The world is in chaos, and it is not only the sins of our eunuchs. The first emperor was once angry with the Empress Dowager and almost deposed her. We cried as we tried to rescue them, each offering our wealth as a gift to ease the anger in the first emperor. We only wanted to place our lives under your tutelage. Now you actually want to exterminate our clan, isn't that a bit too much! " Zhang Jean retracted his smile and said angrily.
A eunuch called canaliculus saw Zhang Jean's rage, and with a "sou" sound, he unsheathed his sword. He rushed forward and stabbed forcefully, the sharp longsword stabbed straight into He Jin's body, piercing right through. He Jin let out a miserable scream, opened his eyes wide and looked at the longsword stuck in his chest in disbelief, the aura of his life force quickly disappeared into the dark night.
"Boom …"
He Jin's body fell heavily onto the ground, and also fiercely smashed into the hearts of every eunuch. Towards He Jin's betrayal, although the eunuchs were resentful, and even wanted to kill him, but reason told them that in the current situation, He Jin was their ally, and could not be killed.
Zhang let the empress dowager call He Jin back because he heard the quarrel between He Jin and the empress dowager. At the same time, he saw the opportunity to reach a compromise. The reason why he was angry just now was only to reprimand He Jin, to vent the anger in his heart, and then to think of a way to reconcile with He Jin.
However, the canaliculus, who was usually not very fierce, did not have the intention to let Zhang Tianyi get away from him due to his panic. His fragile nerves could not bear such repeated shocks and suddenly thrusted out with his sword, not only killing the outer sect Grand General Ho Jin, but also all of his eunuchs and even the crumbling Darkhan Dynasty.
"Who told you to kill him?" Zhang Geng screamed, and his dead fish eyes almost popped out of their sockets. He looked at the lifeless He Jin and the blood stains on the ground. His eyes revealed a deep sense of fear, and his skinny face violently trembled. Suddenly, he pointed at canaliculus and screamed hysterically, "Kill him, kill him for me, chop him into mincemeat."
All of a sudden, the Eunuch who was standing in the great hall was jolted awake, and all of them swarmed over like a berserk beast. Eunuch glared with a pair of despairing eyes as he roared in anger. Not only did he mince canaliculus into eight pieces, he really minced him into minced meat. Blood and flesh flew all over the Gardner Hall.
The desperate howls of the eunuchs echoed in the empty hall, like the howls of wolves that had disappeared into a desperate situation. After a while, the eunuchs looked at the bloody hall and slowly recovered from the extreme shock. Everyone's faces were ashen, and their hearts were ice-cold. There was no longer any hope for survival. He Jin was dead, and all the eunuchs were dead.
There were many times when Zhang Can had planned to kill He Jin, but when he thought of the consequences, he gave up rationally. But now, at the most inappropriate moment, he had actually killed He Jin. How could he explain this to everyone? Not only the people outside the palace could not forgive them, the Son of Heaven and the empress dowager could not either. Why did He Jin suddenly die?
"Close the doors!" Chang woke up from his despair and immediately thought of the Jedi struggle. Whether or not there was a chance, he would make a last stand. He abruptly waved his hand and shouted sternly: "Close the palace gates, immediately close the doors of the Southern North Palace s."
The eunuch in charge of defending the officials turned around abruptly and rushed out like a madman.
"Seal off the Changqiu Palace, and control the Son of Heaven and the empress dowager, quickly …" At this point, Zhang Qu calmed down. He pointed at Chinese traditional medicine Duan Gui and especially told him, "There is still King Chen Liu, you must watch over him and don't let him die."
With a wave of his hand, Duan Gui turned around and fled with his eunuchs.
"Immediately issue an order, ordering the northern troops to stand firm and optimistic. Without the decree of the Son of Heaven, no one is allowed to leave the camp, and those who disobey will be executed. Immediately issue an order, ordering Commander of the City Gate Wu Qiong to close the Luoyang City Sect. Without the Son of Heaven's decree, no one is allowed to open the door, and anyone who disobeys will be killed. "
Zhang, who had lived in the Imperial Palace for decades, had handled many sudden and major events. Compared to the indecisive ministers, Zhang Yong was much calmer and more decisive. If not for being a eunuch, he would be more suitable than He Jin to be a Great General in command of a great army.
"Immediately issue an order to the world, announcing that the Grand General Ho Jin is plotting against them, plotting to murder the current Son of Heaven, and has been sentenced to death. She Miao is appointed to be the Great General, commanding the northern army and the West Garden Army. He immediately ordered the former Grand Commandant Fan Ling to be the field officer of Si Li and the Young Mansion Phase to be the official of Henan to maintain security in Luoyang. "
Even though He Miao was He Jin's younger brother, he was always friendly with the Eunuch, and spoke on behalf of him many times. Furthermore, he was also the older brother of the Empress Dowager He, so he could smoothly take over the northern troop and the West Garden Army. Fan Ling and Xu Xiang were the followers of the eunuchs. With them controlling the Luoyang, the Luoyang was in the hands of the eunuchs.
"Hurry up and wait for your death!" Seeing those Eunuch s standing in the great hall dumbstruck, scared out of their wits, Zhang Rong could not help but get angry, pointed at those Eunuch s and roared: "All of you hurry up, if you don't want to die, go and do it quickly!"
Outside the Imperial Palace, Hu Ben was chatting merrily with Yuan Shu, Wu Quang and Zhang Zhang outside the door. Suddenly, he saw a group of eunuchs riding their horses out of the palace, their expressions flustered as they sped towards the main street. The rumbling of the horses' hooves broke the silence of the Luoyang evening.
A few of them were shocked and immediately tensed up. Wu Quang and Zhang Zhang Zhang involuntarily looked towards Yuan Shu. He was the highest ranked general here. Yuan Shu turned his small eyes and shouted sternly, "Quick... "Send people back to gather reinforcements. Something has happened in the palace. Quick..." "Fast …"
Zhang Zhang was the trusted general of the Grand General Ho Jin, and was completely loyal to He Jin. When he saw Eunuch flying away, he also felt that something was wrong. He immediately thought of the safety of Great General and ran over without hesitation.
Just then, the Eunuch in the palace shut the doors to the palace in a fluster. From the chaotic sound of the Eunuch's footsteps, Yuan Shu surmised that something big must have happened in the palace. When he thought about the fact that the Grand General Ho Jin was still in the palace, Yuan Shu's face greatly changed. He pointed to his subordinates and loudly shouted, "Quickly report this to the Master Tutor, tell them that there's a change in the palace. The life and death of the Great General is uncertain."
"Quickly go to the Si Li commanding officer's mansion, tell Yuan Shao to bring his troops here immediately. Tell him that there's a change in the palace and he urgently needs support. Go to the Lance General Residence and report to Master He Miao, tell him that the Great General is on the brink of death and that his life is at stake, and ask him to bring his men quickly to the Imperial Palace. " Many people said that Yuan Shu was the younger brother of a popinjay, while others said that he was just an idiot. But in the face of danger, Yuan Shu also organized everything neatly and gave out a series of orders.
The sound of galloping horses heavily thumped on the long streets of Luoyang, suffocating everyone so much that they almost couldn't breathe. The citizens of Luoyang who were eating dinner opened their eyes wide in fear, looking at the groups of cavalrymen rushing through the streets, at a loss of what to do.
"Send my orders, order all Huban Guards to move out and seal off the palace, and prevent anyone from entering or leaving. "Fast …" Yuan Shu waved his hand, and shouted to the soldiers beside him: "All of you go and open the doors, we are urging Great General to leave, quickly..."
A soldier rushed to the door of the palace and slapped it, but no one answered.
"You bunch of idiots! How long is it going to take for you to be so gentle?!" Yuan Shu jumped up in anger, pointed at the soldiers and scolded: "You idiots, you even need me to teach you how to scream. Smash it … "Hurry up and find something to smash …"
The palace doors were quaking from the impact, but no one answered.
"Lord General, Eunuch refused to open the door, so something must have happened to him." Wu Quang and Zhang Zhang looked more and more terrified, knowing that something was wrong. There was still no response even after he was smashed like that, so there was a high chance that something had happened to Great General and he didn't have any idea what to do in that short period of time. Lord General, what do we do now? "
"Bang!" Smash it hard for laozi! Until Great General comes out! " Yuan Shu waved his arms wildly, shouting angrily.
Before long, He Jin's Sima Zhang Jin had already brought the two thousand servants and hanger-ons of the He Jin family over. Soon after, He Jin's subordinates, Xu Liang and Wu Yan led the guards to the entrance of the Imperial Palace, and not long after, Yuan Shao also brought the army commander's horse and the bailiff's horse over.
"What?!" You didn't even open the door until dawn. " When Yuan Shao arrived and saw them gathered together, he was alarmed and at a loss for what to do. He immediately became angry and shouted sternly: "Immediately demolish the houses nearby, build a ladder to the clouds, and attack the Imperial Palace."
Yuan Shao's order was immediately effective, the eunuch in charge of defending the palace heard Yuan Shao's order and immediately climbed onto the watchtower on the left side of the palace gate and took out the imperial edict to read it aloud. Grand General Ho Jin plotted to kill kings and killed them according to the law. "
Soon after, a bloody head fell from the sky.
All the officers and soldiers were shocked!
"Charge into the palace … "Protect the Son of Heaven …" Yuan Shu was the first to come back to his senses, he suddenly unsheathed the sword on his body and turned to face the thousands of soldiers. The longsword shone brightly in the night sky: "Brothers, set the palace door on fire, follow me into the palace … Protect the Son of Heaven... to exterminate the adulterous castration... "
"Protect the Son of Heaven... to exterminate the adulterous castration... " Thousands of people raised their arms and shouted, their cries resounding through the skies. These servants, hanger-ons and guards were even more loyal to He Jin than the northern troop and Western Gardens Soldiers.
Yuan Yuan was at home eating dinner. Since the Empress Mother summoned the eunuchs to the palace, she was unhappy and drank wine alone. When he suddenly received the message from Yuan Shu, he couldn't help but be shocked. The wine cup in his hand dropped onto the ground with a "bang", and he then stood up in disbelief.
"Someone, come …" Hurry and ask the Shang Shu Zhi to come to the palace and meet the empress dowager. Check the safety of the Grand General Ho Jin and see if anything major has happened to the palace. At this time, would Yuan Huo not personally come forward, or was it more appropriate to have Lu Zhi come forward?
