Chapter 39: Who Dominates the World?

Seeing thousands of Xuanjia soldiers holding torches high and rushing into the imperial city like an unstoppable stream of iron, the eunuch Zhao Zhong, who was cut off by Princess Haiyan, after a period of panic, could no longer care about the task of guarding the dormitory, and immediately ran to the depths of the harem, where Zhang Rang, the chief eunuch of the 'Ten Standing Attendants', was sitting there, and now the eunuch 'Old Ancestor', who had always been vicious and vicious, became the last reliance in his heart.

"Oh no, it's not good, He Jin is leading troops to break into the palace!" Zhao Zhong, who was wearing a cloak, shouted in horror while running wildly, but saw Zhang Rang drinking tea calmly in a pavilion on a Jingshan Mountain.

This Jingshan is the highest point of the harem, where you can overlook the entire palace, you can naturally see a murderous 'fire dragon' rushing into the palace, and quickly occupied all the important places in the inner court, as for those who are composed of the children of the rich family in Luoyang, the Xiyuan forbidden army is powerless to resist at all, and they all obediently handed over their blades, knelt on the ground, and waited for the fall.

"What's the panic, the sky can't fall yet! Sit down and have a cup of tea! Looking at the panicked old partner in front of him, Zhang Rang's tone contained a hint of contempt, but he still poured a cup of hot tea with his own hands.

The two have known each other for a long time, in fact, when it comes to intelligence and ability, Zhao Zhong is not inferior to him by half a point, and even better in some aspects, but in the end, it was he Zhang Rang who became the head of the 'Ten Standing Attendants', and there are two reasons, one is that he is more calm every time he encounters a major event, and this super psychological quality is incomparable to any eunuch in the palace; is that he is ruthless enough, anyone can give it up, sometimes give up the pawn, sometimes give up the car, at the critical moment, and even give up the old handsome!

Zhang Rang already knew what happened before, and in addition to some disappointment, he was more annoyed in his heart for his failure to achieve his plan; Because of his momentary negligence, he didn't strike first, and as a result, He Jin, a dead salted fish, turned over!

Although the strategy failed, Zhang Rang was not frightened, because he knew. Things have developed to the present, the two sides are still engaged in a political game, since it is a political matter, there will be a bottom limit, sure enough, when the fire dragon that broke into the palace arrived near the Yangde Palace, it immediately stopped, and there was no intention to continue to go deeper.

The imperial city of the Han Dynasty was designed according to the number of Zhou Tian, to be precise, it was the front hall and harem, the Yangde Hall in front was the place where the emperor worked, where to deal with state affairs in peacetime, and the back was the area where the concubines lived, except for the emperor, no other men were allowed to trespass.

So He Jin broke into the front hall with a group of important ministers, but he didn't dare to enter the harem, entering the front hall was for national affairs, and entering the harem was bad for the courtesy of the monarch and ministers, and it was for chaos to become a thief, this is the political bottom line, and it was also left to the 'Ten Standing Servants' a living area, sure enough, with the Xuanjia Army entering the palace, the eunuchs in the inner court rushed to the back like a swarm, and here their lives were worry-free.

"He Jin, that humble butcher, can't read a basket of words, just because he has no ability to transfer troops to break into the palace, needless to say, there must be capable people around him to give advice and run around, the miscellaneous family really underestimated these new heroes this time, I heard that there are two named Cao Cao and Yuan Shao, and they are one of the first-class characters," After a little thought, Zhang Rang immediately made an accurate judgment, and then asked with a little doubt: "Have you ever seen the soldiers and horses who entered the palace?" ”

The fact that the soldiers and horses were mobilized without the Tiger Talisman, no matter what, he couldn't figure it out, the garrison in Luoyang didn't have the courage to do so!

"It's too dark to see really, but looking at the armor and clothing, it is definitely not the garrison near Luoyang, looking at their quick action and strict orders, it seems to be elite border soldiers and horses," In the end, Zhao Zhong still has some eyesight after being mixed with the eunuch in the court for many years.

"Oh! …… Border Army? After thinking about the recent affairs of the border town, the matter of Zhang Yang's entry into the court immediately came to mind, and he also brought three thousand elite Yanmen border troops to prepare to participate in the Luoyang parade, although the parade was canceled because of the lack of health of the spirit emperor dragon, but the elite border army has been stationed in the imperial garden in the north of Luoyang City, but he did not expect that the critical moment became a fatal 'murder sword'. After communicating the before and after connection, Zhang Rang angrily smashed the teacup in his hand: "The party is too guarded and flamboyant, a small official with a sesame mung bean, An dares to spoil me!" ”

It's no wonder that Zhang Rang is so arrogant, on weekdays, he is in charge of the inner court, participates in the decision-making of the imperial court, and deals with him, all of whom are the top magnates such as Situ and Sikong who rank among the three princes, and the territory of the Han Dynasty is divided into 14 states, and there are no less than hundreds of officials like Taishou.

"Zhang Gong, now that the general trend is like this, where should we go!" After a cup of hot tea and a little stabilizing, Zhao Zhong began to ask eagerly.

"Huh! Don't panic, today's miscellaneous chess loses half a move, so that the other party grabs the first move, but until the last moment, who wins and who loses is still uncertain! Looking in the direction of the Yang De Palace, Zhang Rang's eyes once again ignited a raging fighting spirit, "You immediately go and contact the others, tell them to stabilize the situation, don't panic, and immediately ring the Jingyang Bell, tell everyone the news of the emperor's death, and completely muddy the water in Luoyang!" ”

"No! ...... "After getting along all year round, Zhao Zhong immediately understood the deep meaning and turned around to convey the order.

Zhang Rang's hand is really clever, even if he lost half a move in the conspiracy, then he simply made all the things public, and he turned the conspiracy into a conspiracy, so as to offset the previous gap between the two sides.

Moreover, as soon as the news of the emperor's death comes out, all the princes and ministers will inevitably enter the palace, and on the surface it seems that He Jin's power has increased greatly, but what about the real situation, hehe! One person has one heart, one hundred people have one heart, and the scholars and relatives are not monolithic, and when the time comes, they don't have to provoke themselves, they can fight for rights and interests, and at that time, their eunuch opportunity will come again.

After seeing Zhao Zhong leave, Zhang Rang first closed his eyes and pondered for a while, then smiled coldly, tore his robe, grabbed all his hair, and then put on a collapsed expression, crying with an old face, running in the direction of the harem, crying and crying silently: "Oh no, Your Majesty is dead!" ……”

"Boom! Boom! Boom! ...... "Jingyang bell rings!" The emperor died, and the world was silent!

The Han Palace, which was still at dawn, suddenly turned into a white world, with a white filial piety costume in one hand, all red things were covered with white cloth, and a huge white spirit flag fluttered in the wind......

Hearing the news of the emperor's death, Empress Dowager Dong immediately came with the prince Liu Xie, and the kung fu of the front and rear feet, Empress He also came with the prince Liu Wei, and immediately, the ministers of the Manchu Dynasty and the relatives of the Han family all gathered outside the door of the palace of Yangde Palace.

In the face of the news of the emperor's death, everyone's mood is heavy, and the best way to express pain is crying, but the same crying is divided into many kinds, some sad, some frightened, some helpless, and even snickering joy ......, the complexity of human nature, the unpredictability of people's hearts, at this moment is extremely powerful.

Crying sad is Princess Haiyan, as well as the prince Liu Wei and Liu Xie, the three sisters and brothers, the eldest is 14 years old, the youngest is only 7 years old, suddenly lost their loving father, all of them cried like a cuckoo crying blood.

The crying and frightened are the concubines and beauties in the harem of Emperor Ling, according to the system of the Han Dynasty, 'The emperor collapses, someone will be martyred!' 'Thinking that he was about to go underground to continue to accompany Emperor Ling, although this task was nominally glorious, but these delicate beauties were still crying pear blossoms with rain, a good youth, who would want to go to the grave and become a martyred corpse!

Crying helplessly, of course, it was the Empress Dowager Dong and Empress He, one had a dead son, the other had a dead husband, and the sudden bad news made these two women who had no backbone lose their psychological support all of a sudden, and their eyes were all blank at this time.

As for the crying snickering, hehe! Needless to say, it is also known that nature is the one who is about to gain benefits.

The cry began to spread from the dormitory, quickly spread to the main hall, the harem, and even the entire Luoyang City, and finally expanded to the whole world, which can be described as an earth-shattering cry, ghosts and gods ...... the same sorrow, and then, after crying, before the tears on the face were wiped away, everyone's eyes immediately shifted to which throne dragon chair, because, now there is no one on the ----.

Thousands of miles of rivers and mountains, who is the master of ups and downs?
