Taifu Yuan Kui was very angry when he heard that He Jin had ordered the release of the prison of the dismissed lieutenant, and urgently wrote to He Jin to inquire about the matter. He Jin replied to the book, this is what the Queen Mother meant, and I can't help but obey as a courtier.

Taifu Yuan Kui hurriedly ordered Yuan Shao, the lieutenant of Sili, and Yin Wangyun of Henan to lead people and horses to set up cards everywhere on the main road out of Beijing, as long as they saw the lieutenant officials out of Beijing, they would be arrested immediately and killed on the spot.

At the same time, he urgently wrote to the state and county governments in various places, ordering them to hunt down and kill the traitorous clan members in the name of the general He Jin, and kill all the nine clans.

The matter was immediately learned by Zhao Zhong and Zhang Rang and other lieutenants, who asked the empress dowager in the palace for help through various connections.

Empress Dowager He was very angry, urgently summoned He into the palace, and scolded He Jin with a head and face.

He Jin was not easy to argue, so he immediately made a mistake and begged the Queen Mother to hand over the military power of the Xiyuan Army to herself.

Empress Dowager He said angrily: "Isn't the Xiyuan Army yours?" Now even the life of this palace is in your hands, let alone a Xiyuan army? Why did you deceive Hongu? Why kill those eunuchs? ”

He Jin also said angrily: "No matter what the minister says, he is also the head of the He family, no matter what the minister does, it is for the He clan, is the minister not as good as a few eunuchs in the eyes of the queen mother?" ”

"Does the Queen Mother know how much money the minister gave Guo Sheng in order to send you to the palace? The minister gave him half of his wealth, half of his wealth! Does the Queen Mother still know how much money the minister gave Zhao Zhongzhang to let these eunuchs in order to let you live in this Changqiu Palace? All the family wealth, does the Queen Mother know, the minister poured all the family wealth, otherwise how could the Empress Song be abolished by the first emperor? Is it just for the Queen Mother to give birth to a prince? Wang Meiren also gave birth to a prince, why can't she be a queen? Why is it still dead? ”

"Does the Queen Mother think that the minister, the general, was given to the minister by those eunuchs for nothing? No, it was bought by the minister. Even if there were no traitors, the ministers could still buy this general from the first emperor. He Jin sneered, "Queen Mother, it's the minister's surname He, not the gang of traitors surnamed He." The Queen Mother is from the He family, not from the family of those traitors. The minister asked the queen mother to think more about the family relationship between her brothers and sisters, and not to be blinded by the lies of the eunuchs, and to treat her relatives as enemies. ”

Empress Dowager He was speechless for a while, and she couldn't speak, and her beautiful face showed a look of annoyance.

He Jin calmed down his emotions and asked unhurriedly: "Queen Mother, Your Majesty's wedding day is coming, when will my mother come?" ”

The Son of Heaven issued an order to dismiss Guangluxun Liu Bo, Weiwei Liu He, Dasi Nong Yuan Peng, and Shaofu Liu Ting Siqing. The people he represents are all generals.

At the same time, the Son of Heaven also rewarded a large number of meritorious ministers, among which Hanoi Taishou Ding Yuan was worshiped as the ruling Jinwu, Wang Kuang was worshiped as the Hanoi Taishou, Zhang Miao was worshiped as the Guanglu doctor, Xu You was worshiped as the Yilang, Song Xian, Wu Qiuyi was worshiped as the cavalry captain, Hou Cheng was worshiped as the commander of the Northern Army, and Zhang Yang was worshiped as the captain.

A series of appointments and dismissals were the result of discussions between the general and the empress dowager in the Changqiu Palace. Taifu Yuan Kui and Sikong Liu Hong were not informed at all, and the ministers of Shangshutai were even more at a loss.

For a while, the atmosphere in Luoyang became tense again.

Taifu Yuan Kui was summoned into the palace by the Queen Mother.

Empress Dowager He said: "The emperor is about to get married, and all the affairs of this wedding will be hosted by the monks of Taifu and Shangshutai. Now the lieutenants in the palace who are familiar with affairs are gone. And the new Lang officials were not familiar with it, so the palace had to entrust this matter to the Taifu. As for the government, for the time being, I will leave it to the general to deal with. ”

After Taifu Yuan Kui left the palace, he immediately sent someone to find his nephew Yuan Shao.

"You go to Michi immediately." Yuan Kui said. "You make an appointment with him, I want to meet Dong Zhuo."

Yuan Shao asked in surprise, "You want to see him in person?" Is it inside or outside the city? ”

"Out of town." Yuan Kui said, "There is. You told Cao Cao to come to the capital to come and see me, and I have something to look for him. ”

Yuan Shao agreed with a smile, and said a little proudly: "Uncle, after we killed more than a dozen traitors who went out of the city, these people learned to be obedient, and they all hid at home and did not come out, nor did they go out of the city. Look, should I find an excuse to catch them one by one? ”

"What's the matter with you, do you still have to ask me about this kind of thing?" Yuan Kui said dissatisfiedly, "You are the captain of the Si Li, one of the three solitary seats, directly under the jurisdiction of His Majesty, with a high and powerful position, from the three dukes, liehous, and relatives in the capital, down to the bureaucrats at all levels and the local officials of Gyeonggi, are all the objects of your supervision, what are you afraid of?" When Yang Qiu was the captain of Si Li, Huangmen Ling Wang Fu and his son were caught by him and beaten to death, what about you? You're going to ask me about someone? ”

Yuan Shao didn't understand why his uncle was so angry today, so he had to stand aside with a smiling face.

Yuan Kui said: "Didn't the general give you a holiday in the name of His Majesty? You can cut it first and play it later. ”

Yuan Shao understood and left in a hurry.

………………

In mid-August, Luoyang.

The emperor's wedding was very grand, and Luoyang was immersed in joy.

This new concubine's surname is Tang, from the Yingchuan Tang family, the ancestors have been officials in the court for several generations, and her father Tang Mao is a Confucian in Yingchuan, and is now the Taishou of Yingchuan.

This family affair was personally ordered by the Queen Mother's mother, Wuyangjun, and the first emperor was also very satisfied, so everything went smoothly.

However, what made Wuyangjun feel strange was that the emperor's wedding this time was presided over by the ministers of the court, and many of the little yellow men and yellow gate servants who came in and out of the palace were also children of long-bearded families, but a group of old officials who were very familiar with them in the past did not see any of them.

Wuyangjun then asked his daughter Empress Dowager He: "Why didn't Zhao Zhong and Marquis Zhao see it?" Why didn't the old in-laws Zhang let Zhang Hou Ye see it? There is also Guo Sheng Guo Houye, she has been friends with our family for decades, why haven't you seen it? Are you sick? ”

Empress Dowager He was angry when she thought of this. She explained the cause and effect of the incident to her mother in detail, and finally said: "My brother is now in power, domineering and domineering, he can't listen to anyone's words, and he even dares to threaten in this palace." ”

Wu Yangjun felt that his son had gone too far.

It happened that on this day, the general He Jin entered the palace to visit his mother, and Wuyangjun told him about it. She said a lot, saying how Guo Sheng was kind to the He family, how Zhao Zhong helped the He family, not to mention Zhang Rang, her own in-laws, no matter how she said that her elbow would not turn out.

He Jin nodded vigorously, as if he had listened to it.

After leaving the palace, He Jin immediately summoned Yuan Shao. He Jin angrily scolded Yuan Shaodao: "Why are these traitors still in the capital today?" What are you doing as a lieutenant? Can't you even do the work of driving dozens of traitors out of the capital? ”

Yuan Shao said helplessly: "Xiaguan found all kinds of excuses and arrested all those who should be arrested, but these people were taken away by the general of the Che Cai with the Empress Dowager's decree in a blink of an eye, what should Xiaguan do?" The lower officials can't resist the order, right? Zhao Zhong and Zhang let me dare not touch those Hou Ye. ”

He Jinqi said: "Bring more people and horses, immediately go door to door for me, and if you don't leave, tie me up and send them out of the capital." ”

………………

Zhao Zhong, Zhang Rang, Guo Sheng and other old lieutenants were greatly panicked, and bribed Wuyangjun and He Miao, the general of the chariot cavalry, and asked them to intercede with the empress dowager and the general to let them stay in Luoyang.

Zhao Zhong and Guo Sheng knelt in front of Wuyang Jun and cried with tears: "The general ordered the government offices of various prefectures and counties to arrest our clan relatives and confiscate our property, and we will go home as a dead end." For the sake of our friendship for many years, give us a way to live, anyway, we are old and can't live for a few years. ”

Zhang Rang's daughter-in-law is the sister of Empress Dowager He, and for the life of the whole family, Zhang Rang knelt in front of his daughter-in-law and kowtowed and begged.

Empress Dowager He's sister cried and ran to her mother Wuyangjun to intercede for her father-in-law. Wuyangjun couldn't bear it, and hurriedly entered the palace to meet the Empress Dowager He.

Wu Yangjun said: "Daughter, the Son of Heaven of the Han Kingdom is the greatest, followed by the Queen Mother, if anyone does not listen to the holy decree of the Son of Heaven and the Queen Mother, isn't it a rebellion?" ”

Mother's words made Empress Dowager He feel heartbroken.

Yes, the Son of Heaven of the Great Han Kingdom is the largest, and she is the mother of the Son of Heaven, so she should naturally be second only to the Son of Heaven. Everyone else is his own courtiers with the Son of Heaven, and now he is in the court on behalf of the Son of Heaven, what do they say, if others dare to have any objections, it is to resist the will and disrespect, and they just want to rebel!

Empress Dowager He's gaze sharpened, and a certain determination became firmer.

………………

On August 15, Empress Dowager He issued an edict to let all the permanent servants and some eunuchs enter the palace to serve with them.

The generals He Jin and the Taifu Yuan Kui and the ministers of Jiuqing played at the same time, advising the Son of Heaven and the Empress Dowager not to disobey the will of the people and summon the lieutenants to the palace again, which did not help stabilize the situation in Luoyang in the slightest, but would increase the turmoil in Luoyang.

Now the hussar general is still on the steppe thousands of miles away, and he doesn't know when he will be able to go south. Luoyang needed a stable court to give strong support to the expeditionary Han army, and if the Zhongguan entered the palace and caused the Luoyang chaos, so that the hussar general's actions on the prairie would be affected, or even failed, it would bring great danger to the Han Kingdom.

Empress Dowager He was angry, and she threw the ministers' recitals to the ground in front of Taifu Yuan Kui. These people are so bold that they even use the hussar general to press themselves. Who do they think they are? She is the queen mother under one person and above ten thousand people!

Empress Dowager He said: "Who made Luoyang unstable? Is it the lieutenant or you? The palace has dismissed many eunuchs such as the permanent servants and Xiaohuangmen according to your requirements, but you have intensified, not only to drive them out of the capital, but also to exterminate them, do you still have the emperor in your eyes, and the palace? Why don't you listen to the Emperor's will? Why don't you listen to the will of this palace? Now that the palace is in charge of the dynasty, the palace can do whatever it wants, is the palace still at your mercy? ”

Taifu Yuan Kui was scolded speechless, and returned to Shangshutai in embarrassment.

After Sikong Liu Hong and the other ministers briefly asked about the situation, they frowned deeply and thought hard about countermeasures. (To be continued.) )
