Sikong Liu Hong, Guangluxun Liu Bo and other clan ministers heard the news and jointly entered the palace to see Empress Dowager He. Sikong Liu Hong angrily reprimanded the general He Jin for being arrogant and arrogant, and he had no king's law, and when he talked about the sad place, he burst into tears and wept bitterly.
Before the bones of the first emperor were cold, the general was going to kill the Dong family on the pretense of crime, which was really chilling. Guangluxun Liu Bo was even more furious, and asked loudly: "Queen Mother, the general said that the hussar general colluded with Xiao Huangmen Jian Shuo to conspire against him, is there any evidence?" Where is the little yellow door now? Empress Dowager He was taken aback when she heard this, and hurriedly asked Zhang Rang and Guo Sheng, who were on the left and right,
"Two Aiqing, is the general surrounding the Hussar General's Mansion?" Zhang Rang and Guo Sheng shook their heads. Since the conspiracy to kill He Jin was exposed, a group of Zhongchang servants were afraid of He Jin's retaliation, so they all hid in the palace and did not dare to return home.
Although they had many eyes and ears outside the palace, they had not yet received a report of this kind of sudden incident for a while.
Zhang Rang thought for a moment and whispered: "Queen Mother, don't panic about this matter. According to the minister, the general had no intention of killing the hussar general, but had another purpose. ”
"Aiqing said, what is the purpose of the general?"
"Queen Mother, the general is for the military power of the Xiyuan Army." Zhang Rang said,
"The Queen Mother did not hand over the military power of the Xiyuan Army to the general, and the general must be very angry. In order to regain the military power of the Xiyuan Army, he thought of such a strategy to surround the Hussar General's Mansion, and his purpose was nothing more than to blackmail the Queen Mother. Empress Dowager He was suspicious and asked: "Beigong has handed over the Xiyuan Army to the commander of the Che Cavalry General, what is it like now?" ”
"Queen Mother, ignore the general, and order him to withdraw the soldiers and horses to the Baijun Mansion, and the siege of the Hussar General's Mansion will be temporarily handed over to the Che Cavalry General." Guo Sheng replied,
"The relationship between the general and the general has always been very close, and letting the general surround the palace of the general can not only save the face of the general, but also ensure that the general does not have to worry about his life."
"But it's not a long-term solution." Empress Dowager He sighed,
"Do you want to ask Lord Taifu and the ministers of the Three Dukes to persuade the Empress Dowager to let her take the hussar general back to the Hejian Kingdom immediately?" Zhang Rang smiled: "Don't worry, Queen Mother. The minister has already said that the general has no intention of killing the hussar general. He surrounded the Hussar General's Mansion, but he just wanted to make a fuss about Jian Shuo, and there was not much danger. The minister believed that the Queen Mother should take this opportunity to blackmail the Queen Mother and force her to take out the money from Yongle Palace. Queen Mother, at present, solving the military resources of the Northern Expedition is a top priority, and it cannot be delayed. The Queen Mother nodded again and again, and immediately ordered the general He Jin in the name of the Son of Heaven to immediately enter the palace to see the driver, and at the same time ordered him to withdraw the army surrounding the Hussar General's Mansion, and instead the Che Cai General led a group of men and horses to surround the Hussar General's Mansion, and was responsible for investigating Dong Chong and Jian Shuo's collusion with each other to conspire against each other.
"Spread the decree, please come to Changqiu Palace as soon as possible." Taifu Yuan Kui, Situ Ding Gong, Sikong Liu Hong and other ministers rushed to Yongle Palace to meet Empress Dowager Dong on the order of Empress Dowager He.
Empress Dowager Dong looked very bad and was very emotional. She and her ministers were not speaking calmly, but were accusing and invective with great anger.
First of all, Xiao Huangmen Jian Shuo was killed in an instant, the military power of the Xiyuan Army was seized, and then his nephew Dong Zhong was trapped in the Hussar General's Mansion in danger, these things show that the Empress Dowager He and He Jin are impatient, they want to kill the Dong clan, and they want to eliminate all the forces that threaten today's son and the He clan.
"You ...... How did you promise in front of the Emperor? Why are you helping that butcher? Why? Empress Dowager Dong pointed at Yuan Kui and said loudly,
"The palace wants to send the first emperor to Wenling, and to take away the little Donghou, otherwise the official will never leave Luoyang." Yuan Kui knelt down and begged: "Queen Mother, it's not that the old minister is not loyal to the first emperor, but Jian Shuo recruited everything before he died. Now that the Empress Dowager He and the general have ironclad evidence in their hands, how do you ask the ministers to speak? Empress Dowager Dong's expression was shocked, and her eyes showed a look of fear.
At the beginning, she strongly asked Jian Shuo and Dong Chong to unite with the lieutenants in the palace to wait for the opportunity to kill the general. Jian Shuo disagreed at the time, and he advised the Queen Mother to take advantage of the opportunity of holding the military power of the West Garden to find a way to leave Luoyang with Xiao Donghou as soon as possible.
Jian Shuo said that at this time, the Empress Dowager He had already taken charge of the dynasty, and the general He Jin had also led the army back to Beijing, and the overall situation of Luoyang had been decided, even if he and other lieutenants joined forces to kill He Jin, they might not be able to abolish the re-establishment of the little Marquis Dong as the emperor today, but the Empress Dowager Dong could not listen.
Empress Dowager He's disagreement with her taking away Xiao Donghou angered her and made her lose her mind. If Jian Shuo confessed everything, he and Dong Zhong would have lived to the end, and Xiao Dong Hou would be finished.
At this moment, Empress Dowager Dong hated and regretted, hugged little Dong Hou and cried bitterly. Yuan Kui and the ministers felt ashamed, and knelt on the ground one by one and hung their heads silently.
"You promised the first emperor to save Dong Hou's life, what you promised ......" Yuan Kui's heart was sour, and the old tears were full of tears,
"Even if the ministers are broken, they have to escort the Queen Mother and Dong Hou out of Luoyang, but now they are ......"
"What is happening now?"
"Now the war in northern Xinjiang is tense, and the army is in urgent need of military resources." Yuan Kui said,
"The Empress Dowager He said that as long as the Empress Dowager can make the best of the wealth of Yongle Palace, she should pardon all the hussar generals' crimes, and Xiao Donghou will also let the Empress Dowager take her away from Luoyang."
"Really?" Empress Dowager Dong hugged Xiao Dong Hou tightly, and her desperate face showed a hint of surprise,
"Is this true?" Several ministers replied in unison: "The ministers will never speak in vain. Yuan Kui persuaded: "Queen Mother, as long as the war in Northern Xinjiang is over and the general of the Northern Expedition is free to visit the south, the Queen Mother and the little prince will not only have no worries about their lives, but even Your Majesty's will can be done one by one." Without the army of the general of the Great Command, what can we do to help the Queen Mother and the little prince? Empress Dowager Dong remembered the secret decree that the Son of Heaven gave to the general of Zhengbei before his death, and hope suddenly ignited in her heart.
"How's the war going in the north?"
"The latest battle report says that Li Hong and Xu Rong's army has converged, and the Hu coalition army has been surrounded on the Daqing Plain." Yuan Kui said,
"If nothing else, the war in Northern Xinjiang will end in half a month." Empress Dowager Dong's mood was a little better, and she choked up and said to Yuan Kui, Ding Gong and other ministers: "Please, Lord Taifu and all your lords, please." "June of the first year of Guangxi of the Great Han Kingdom (189 AD).
In early June, Luoyang. Under the order of He Jin, the soldiers and horses of the Northern Army refused to withdraw from the Hussar General's Mansion. He Miao, the general of the cavalry, was very angry and rushed to the general's mansion in person with a team of men.
Cao Cao, the captain of the military academy, greeted He Miao and sued Zhang Liao, the servant of the general's mansion who commanded the northern army.
"This kid relied on the fact that he had a big general to support him, and he didn't even let me approach the gate of the Hussar General's Mansion, which is too unusual." He Miao snorted coldly, angrily beat his horse and rushed to the gate of the mansion, and shouted loudly: "Zhang Liao...... Where is Zhang Liao? Wu Qiu Yi saw that the general of the chariot cavalry was coming, and hurriedly greeted him and bowed down and said, "Lord Yu, Lord Zhang has been recalled by the general to the Baijun Mansion." "Wu Qiu Yi is in his forties, of medium stature, with an angular face, a pair of resolute eyes, his demeanor is neither humble nor arrogant, and he does not feel timid at all because of the appearance of the general of the chariot cavalry.
He turned out to be a military commander in the Northern Army, and after fighting a few battles in Hanoi with the general, he was promoted to the rank of captain.
"Absent?" He Miao looked around and whispered,
"It's not good." When Zhang Liao first arrived in Beijing, he went to the Cheqi General's Mansion several times to run errands, and he was very familiar with He Miao.
He Miao respected him as a fierce general who participated in the Battle of Yanmen Pass, treated him very well, and rewarded him. He Miao originally wanted to scold Zhang Liao, but Zhang Liao was not there, so he had to sprinkle this tone on Wu Qiuyi.
He Miao pointed at Wuqiu Yi with the horsewhip in his hand and said proudly: "The people with you will immediately go back to the Baijun Mansion, and I will take over here." Wu Qiu Yi looked solemn and said unhurriedly: "Without the general's military order, the subordinate can't leave here." He Miao was furious and shouted at the top of his voice: "The holy purpose is this, and those who violate the order will be beheaded!" Cao Cao waved his hand back, and the soldiers of the Xiyuan Army immediately rushed up.
Wu Qiu Yi took a few steps back and shouted loudly: "Liu Bei, block it for me, if there is an intruder, you will be killed." Liu Bei shouted, flew up with dozens of soldiers, and immediately cut off three halberds with the long sword in his hand, and then smashed a military horse of the Xiyuan Army with one punch.
Guan Yu on the left was even more courageous, he didn't even pull out the war knife on his waist, and beat down more than a dozen soldiers of the Xiyuan Army with only his fists and feet.
Zhang Fei on the right led more than a dozen people all the way forward, the spear in his hand flew up and down, and he picked up more than a dozen menacing Xiyuan soldiers one after another, and rushed towards He Miao at high speed.
He Miao was startled, and the horse retreated,
"Quickly block, quickly block ......" Cao Cao stepped forward and slashed at Zhang Fei who was rushing forward. Zhang Fei was not afraid, he raised his spear and stabbed,
"Get out of my ......" swords and spears intersected
"When ......" a crisp sound, Cao Cao's war knife took off his hand, turned over and fell off the horse. Wu Qiu Yi saw that the Xiyuan army was driven out fifty paces away, and immediately ordered to stop the attack.
Liu Bei slowly retreated with his men. Cao Cao got up from the ground in embarrassment, picked up his sword, looked at the retreating Northern soldiers, and suddenly chased after him.
"What's your name?" Cao Cao pointed at Zhang Fei and shouted angrily.
"Zhang Fei."
"What about you?" Cao Cao pointed to Liu Bei, who retreated at the end,
"What's your name?"
"The lower official army Sima Liu Bei."
"What about him?" Cao Cao looked at the tall and mighty Guan Yu and asked.
"Junhou Guan Yu." Liu Bei replied coldly. Cao Cao's anger gradually subsided, and he suddenly laughed,
"Good, good kung fu. I didn't expect that there were such masters in the Northern Army, and this official can be regarded as knowledgeable. Liu Bei arched his hand at him and said apologetically: "Shangguan has an order, how much offense, please forgive Lord Cao." Cao Cao didn't care, waved his hand and smiled: "When did Lord Liu enter the Northern Army?" This officer has many friends in the Northern Army, why have he never heard of you? Liu Bei ......" He suddenly thought of something, pointed at Liu Bei again, and asked in surprise,
"Are you beating Liu Bei who oversaw the post in An Xi?" Liu Bei glanced at him vigilantly,
"The first emperor has already pardoned the lower officials."
"I know, I know." Cao Cao put his sword into the sheath and said with a smile on his face,
"General Zhengbei wrote a letter to intercede for you, and the first emperor forgave you for your guilt, I know all about this. How did you get into the Northern Army? You didn't go to Bingzhou to look for the general of Peking University? Liu Bei saw that Cao Cao's tone of voice had changed, and he didn't know what Cao Cao's purpose was, so he was very puzzled.
Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, and a group of Liu Bei's old subordinates surrounded them one after another.
After An Xi's accident, Xiaguan took a group of brothers south to Qingzhou to seek refuge with Lord Zou Jingzou, and on the way, Xiaguan met Lord Muyang of Jizhou. Thanks to Lord Yang's care, Xia Guan went to Yecheng to be a military commander who defended the city. This time, the general went north to suppress the bandits, and Lord Yang introduced the subordinate to the general again, so he ......"
"Oh, I see." Cao Cao said regretfully,
"Why don't you go to the general of Zhengbei? When you get to his tent, you can participate in the Northern Expedition, and now it's at least a ......" At this time, Cao Cao saw Wuqiu Yi striding over, and immediately became angry, leaving Liu Bei and rushing up,
"Wu Qiu Yi, what do you want to do? Do you want to cause trouble in Luoyang? Wu Qiu Yi sneered and said word by word: "The lower officials only listen to the general's military orders. ”
"Okay, since you want to find death, then I won't stop you." Cao Cao turned around and left. He Miao lost face, and angrily led people to rush to the Baijun Mansion to ask for the guilt.
He Jin saw He Miao walk in, his face was as cold as frost, and he didn't say a word. When He Miao saw He Jin, his anger suddenly turned into nothing.
He timidly walked up to He Jin, bowed down and shouted,
"Big Brother ......"
"You still know my big brother......" He Jin slapped the case violently and shouted angrily,
"I've been back to Luoyang for more than 20 days, why haven't you come to see me? What are you doing behind my back with those eunuchs? ”
"Big brother, the Queen Mother left me in the palace and told me to do this and that, how can I have time to ......" He Miao bowed his head and said,
"Didn't the eldest brother never enter the palace to meet the Queen Mother?"
"You know what?" He Jin scolded,
"Those traitors tried their best to kill me, I couldn't prevent it, how could I enter the palace? If you were a tool, why would I be like this? He Miao glanced at him secretly, and muttered dissatisfiedly: "I knew today, why bother in the first place?" You are not in Luoyang this time, if it weren't for their help, how could Xiao Shihou inherit the unification? Big brother, can you ......" He Jin was so angry that he raised his hand and gave him a slap,
"Bastard, why doesn't it grow at all? Do you think about how the great general Dou Wu died? How did Empress Dowager Dou die? How did the Dou family's hundreds of years of foundation ruin its reputation? Since the traitorous eunuch chaos in the dynasty, how many generals are still alive? The great general Liang Yi was castrated and killed, let alone me? He Miao covered her face and said angrily: "Big brother, why did you shake hands with them before you returned to Beijing?" ”
"Then why did they conspire with Jian Shuo to murder me this time?" He Jin glared and said,
"You sober up, the traitors won't let us do whatever they want for the sake of monopoly, you know?"
"If you kill the lieutenant, the scholar will kill you." He Miao said,
"That's what they all say."
"But if I don't kill the lieutenant, I will die faster, and my He clan will be killed sooner or later." He Jin waved his hand excitedly and said,
"When you open your eyes and look at Luoyang, Beijiang, and Xiliang, you will know how difficult our situation is. Do you know why I want to send He Hao, Yuan Shao, Wang Yun and Xun You out of the General's Mansion? Do you know why I'm hiding in the Hundred Counties Mansion all day? He Miao looked at He Jin dumbfounded, not understanding what he meant.
He Jin suddenly approached He Miao and said loudly: "Do you know how many officers in the Xiyuan Army have been bribed by eunuchs? If I can't control the Xiyuan Army, I won't be able to eliminate the dissidents of the Xiyuan Army, and I won't have enough strength to ensure the safety of today's son and the safety of my He clan. But the Queen Mother and you can't see the situation in Luoyang clearly, and they blindly believe in a group of traitorous villains, and they don't even trust their eldest brother anymore. You are dying, do you know? He Miao glared at He Jin disappreciably, like looking at a madman.
"Big brother, can you let Dong Zhong go?" He Miao said,
"Although he ......" He Jin's eyes widened suddenly, and he slashed his hand viciously and gave him a slap,
"You're looking for death."
"Big brother......" He Miao stood up from the ground with a rolling face, blushing, waving his hands, and roaring angrily,
"I'm the general of the Che Cavalry, I'm the secretary of the Han Kingdom, I'm not the butcher of Nanyang, why are you beating me? You're just a general, what's the big deal? Without the lieutenant officials in the palace, can you go to Luoyang to be a relative of the emperor? Can you be a great general? You are still selling pork in Nanyang, what are you angry about? He Miao pointed to his nose and shouted: "I don't want to turn my face with you, and I don't want the world to see you and my brother infighting, so I didn't order the Xiyuan Army to drive away your Northern Army, do you think I'm afraid of you?" I'll go back and command the Xiyuan Army to drive out your Northern Army. Dong Zhong is my friend, I just want to save him, what can you do to me? He Jin trembled with anger and couldn't speak for a long time.
He Miao kicked Fei Ji, pointed at He Jin's nose and scolded: "I'm dying? I think you're dying. He Jin couldn't hold back any longer, and shouted outside the door: "Come on, arrest him for me." Wu Kuang rushed in with more than a dozen attendants, and they surrounded them, and no one dared to make a move.
He Miao is a general of the chariot cavalry, without a holy decree, who would dare to arrest him? He Miao spat disdainfully on the ground, turned around and walked out the door.
"Grab it." He Jin roared again,
"Grab me." Wu Kuang flew forward and kicked him to the ground, and the other dozen or so attendants saw Wu Kuang's move, and rushed up, and immediately tied He Miao firmly.
He Miao was so angry that he scolded. He Jin walked up to him and said word by word: "As long as we kill Dong Chong, Empress Dowager Dong, and Xiao Dong Hou, we will be safe." He Miao was startled and didn't dare to make a sound.
"I wrote a letter to send people to various places to recruit soldiers." He Jin said,
"Do you think the Queen Mother will agree?" Jump to! ~! [To quickly find this site, please search in Baidu: Sanlian Literature Network]
