Chapter 104 Attack on the Royal Palace
Chapter 1004
He Jin took the crowd to the door of the palace and saw that there had been eunuchs waiting at the gate of the palace. When the eunuch saw He Jin bringing a large number of generals and sergeants to the door, he was shocked, and then hurried to He Jin's side and bowed to He Jin and said:
"General, you are here. The Empress Dowager specially sent a villain to guide the way for the general. General, please." With that, the eunuch stretched out his hand to give way to the front, pushed himself between He Jin and the generals, and separated He Jin and the generals.
It turns out that there are many gates in this palace. Generally, the main door will be opened when there are major events. As for He Jin, those who are summoned into the palace late at night can only go through the side door, so special eunuchs will come to guide the way.
When He Jin saw the eunuch coming up to greet him, he ignored him. He just walked to the door of a palace on this side. Just as He Jin stepped into the gate of the palace, the generals behind him were stopped.
"I'm sorry, generals. The Empress Dowager ordered me to only invite the general to see me tonight. I'm afraid you can only wait here." The eunuch stepped into the palace gate, but turned around and stopped the generals. The soldiers guarding the palace gate next to him also came over at the same time and fought with the eunuch. Obviously, they did not allow the generals to enter the palace.
"What? We are the guard of the general. Where the general goes, we will naturally go. Seeing someone blocking the way, a general behind He Jin was impatient and shouted at the eunuch.
"The general is angry. This is the rule in the palace. It's already night. It's really inconvenient for the generals to go in and out of the palace. Please don't overdo it." When the eunuch spoke, although he smiled, every word revealed his determination, especially the sentence was just right, which made these generals have a lot of scruples in their hearts and will look at He Jin.
"You just wait here. I'll come as soon as I go. It's okay." Seeing that it was getting late, it was really not good for He Jin to take so many big men into the palace. Maybe those officials would say that they were domineering, so He Jin waved his hand and stopped the generals.
The generals had no choice but to wait outside the palace gate. However, there was a smile at the corners of Yuan Shao's mouth. In fact, before that, Yuan Shao had already leaked the matter of recruiting foreign soldiers to Beijing and killing Shi Changshi to Shi Changshi. He was about to see He Jin and Shi Changshi fighting to break the net. Only in this way can the old Yuan family receive the benefits of the fisherman and get the greatest benefits.
Under the leadership of the eunuch, He Jin walked all the way into the deep palace and came to a remote garden.
"General, the Empress Dowager is waiting for you inside. However, before the general enters, please give your sword to the slave. You also know that the Empress Dowager is noble and can't stand the shadow of the sword. At the door of the courtyard, the eunuch and the pleasant face asked He Jin for a sword.
"Why haven't I ever had so many rules when I saw the empress dowager before?" He Jin looked at the little eunuch and said unhappily.
"Forgive me, the general. The status of the empress dowager is different from the past. Naturally, we slaves can no longer be treated according to the rules of the past. I believe that the general can also understand the grievances of the slaves." The eunuch said and complained to He Jin.
When the eunuch said this, He Jin nodded.
"You are so good at serving, and naturally there are no benefits for you."
With that, He Jin took out a little money from his pocket and handed it to the eunuch. Originally, an official like Xiang Hejin would not bring money with him. No matter what he did, someone would pay the bill. It would be troublesome to bring money, but it was different to enter the palace. When dealing with these eunuchs, sometimes they have to send money. Everyone knows that eunuchs are greedy for money, and in this way, they can also get closer to the relationship with eunuchs. So the palace ministers developed the hobby of rewarding eunuchs, although this hobby came a little helpless."Thank you for the reward of the general. The little one will take good care of the general's sword and wait for the general here." The eunuch took He Jin's reward, smiled and hurriedly said flatteringly to He Jin.
He Jin smiled and didn't care at all. He shook his hand, handed over his sword to the eunuch, and then walked into the courtyard alone.
What He Jin didn't notice was that shortly after he walked into the courtyard, the eunuch waved and ran four or five eunuchs from not far away.
"Block the door for me. No one is allowed to come out without my order." After saying this, the eunuch smiled a faint evil smile at the corners of his mouth.
When He Jin walked into the courtyard, he found that the courtyard was deep and the roads were complicated. The roads in the palace were already a little complicated, even during the day, not to mention at night. At this time, looking at the dark and quiet night around him, He Jin actually felt that there was a trace of coolness behind him, and a bad feeling arose spontaneously, and he wanted to retreat.
At this time, He Jin heard a small sound of footsteps behind him. His back was cold, and a dagger inserted from He Jin's back. He Jin hurriedly dodged to the side, but He Jinkan flashed the sword and attacked. Then, small steps came densely, and many armed eunuchs with swords rushed out from all directions. He Jin was firmly surrounded in the middle.
A familiar figure came to He Jin with a smile. This person was Zhang Rang, holding a bright yellow satin in his hand, which turned out to be the imperial edict.
"He Jin received the purpose. General He Jin entered the palace in the middle of the night, with an unfaithful intention, and he made a decision. As soon as he showed the imperial edict in his hand, he read it, regardless of whether he was kneeling to receive the imperial edict or not.
"Boldly, the generals of my general's office are outside the palace. What do you dare to do with me?" At this time, there was still a trace of fluke in He Jin's heart. Obviously, he underestimated the madness of Shi Changshi.
"Take it down." Zhang Rang ordered directly to the armed eunuchs regardless of what he had said. At this time, Zhang Rang was decisive in killing, and he had more general's momentum than He Jin, who sat as a general.
With Zhang Rang's order, the eunuchs rushed up and didn't have any moves. They just greeted He Jin. For a moment, He Jin had nowhere to dodge. He wanted to stop him, but there was no weapon in his hand. He didn't know until he knew this. What a sinister intention was hidden under the surface smile of the eunuch who brought himself here. However, it is too late for He to come in now.
Not long after, He Jin's head rolled down to Zhang Rang's feet under one person, above tens of thousands of people.
"It is said that all the palace doors are closed tonight, and no one is allowed to enter the palace. You guys, let me go and see the people brought by He Jin." Zhang Rang mentioned He Jin's head and walked to the door of the palace.
Yuan Shao and other generals waited for He Jin outside the palace, but nothing had happened for a long time. When they were anxious, they heard the sound of fine footsteps coming from the palace gate. Indeed, no one came out.
At half an hour, an eunuch shouted in a shrill voice: "Generals, please come back. It's getting late tonight. The empress dowager has a decree that the general will rest in the palace tonight. Generals, please take your own."
After listening to the eunuch's words, all the generals were stunned.
"What? The Empress Dowager left the general to live in the palace? Someone said it was unbelievable.
"The general is a foreign minister, not a eunuch. How can he live in the palace? Isn't this the same as the general's cholera court? Someone else said.
"No, the eunuch should be unfavorable to the general." It was Cao Cao who spoke this time.
"Please call the general out quickly, or we will go to the palace." This time, Yuan Shao jumped out.
However, the generals' words, instead of inviting them to go in, they heard the footsteps in the palace, and there were many people who were closing the palace door. At this time, a blood-stained foreign body was thrown out from the high palace wall, but it was the head of the general He Jin.
"He Jin's intention to rebel has been ordered to be killed by the emperor. You should return as soon as possible to avoid harm to the nine clans." Just as He Jin's head landed, a sharp voice came out.
Seeing He Jin's head rolling on the ground, the generals were shocked. Although everyone knew that Shi Changshi's intention was wrong, they really didn't expect that Shi Changshi would really dare to kill He Jin.
"Generals, the ten permanent servants killed the ministers without authorization, intending to rebel. We rushed in to avenge the general and kill the ten permanent servants."
At this moment, Yuan Shao suddenly stood up and raised his arms. The generals were suddenly angry one by one. Just follow Yuan Shao to attack the palace. At this time, in the eyes of the generals, this palace is no longer the place of the majesty of the Han Dynasty, but a place that hides dirt and makes everyone hate. The generals had red eyes one by one and wanted to rush into the palace, and suddenly vented their resentment for the court, the ten permanent servants, and everything.
Just as the generals attacked the palace under the leadership of Yuan Shao. In the darkness not far away, Xu You was looking at this scene with a faint smile on the corners of his mouth.
"In this way, Shi Changshi and He Jin perished at the same time, and the master's distance won the world, and finally got one step closer."
At this time, inside the palace gate, Zhang Rang saw that the generals led troops to attack the palace, and his face had become earthy. Zhang Ran can't figure out how much determination it takes for these generals who are usually to gasp carefully in the hall to have such a great determination to dare to enter the palace?
But at this time, Zhang Rang has understood that he has no time to think about this now. At this time, all he could do was to escape with the emperor. Zhang Rang understood that his greatest dependence was the emperor. Without the emperor, Zhang Rang was nothing.
"You were guarded by the miscellaneous family. These generals dared to attack the palace. The miscellaneous family reported to the emperor and asked the emperor to send troops to destroy it." When Zhang Rang left, he did not forget to appease the eunuchs who guarded the palace gate. Although it was a little far-fetched, it also calmed the hearts of these eunuchs a lot and gave Zhang Rang time to escape.
