At dusk, the sunset is like blood.

Taifu Mansion.

After Yuan Kui received the news sent by Yuan Shu, he was very surprised, and hurriedly sent someone to the Beigong Shangshutai, asking Shangshu to order Lu Zhi to go to the Nangong to meet the Queen Mother as soon as possible to see if the general He Jin was safe, and what happened in the palace that needed to close the palace door.

However, in Yuan Kui's opinion, as long as the traitorous eunuchs in the palace do not go crazy, they will not kill He Jin regardless of their lives no matter what, but the queen mother and the traitorous eunuchs can use various excuses to confine the general in the palace or directly put him in Beisi Prison, and use this to blackmail He Jin to agree to their conditions.

What Yuan Kui was most worried about was that the generals and traitors would join forces to deal with him and the ministers in the court.

Yuan Kui paced back and forth in the room with his hands behind his back, worried. He felt that the Empress Dowager and the traitorous eunuch had imprisoned the general He Jin in the palace and coerced him to agree to cooperate with them.

Last night, the five battalions of the Xiyuan Army had been merged into the Northern Army, and the strength of the general's hands had greatly increased.

After the general He Jin and the traitorous eunuch join forces, Luoyang will inevitably fall into a bloody storm and reproduce the disaster of more than 20 years ago.

Thinking of the party ban that had lasted for nearly twenty years, Yuan Kui felt a tremor in his heart, and his breathing suddenly became short.

What to do? How to deal with it?

At this time, the person who sent the letter to Lu Zhi rushed back, and said with a very panicked expression: "Taifu, all the gates of the Beigong Palace have been sealed, and the lower officials cannot enter the palace. ”

Yuan Kui was shocked. It seems that he guessed correctly, He Jin is going to change his hexagram.

He smiled coldly and shook his head.

"The people of the whole city were ordered to impose martial law in Luoyang for three days, and no one was allowed to walk on the street, and those who violated the order would be killed."

"Order Wu Qiong, the captain of the city gate, to block the Luoyang city gate, and all the holy decrees out of the city will be intercepted." Yuan Kui walked to the back of the desk and wrote a warrant, "Tell him that the general was abducted by a traitorous eunuch." Life and death were uncertain, so he was told to guard the city gates, and no one was allowed to let them out. ”

"Order Henan Yin Wang Yun to immediately take the guards in the palace to control the main streets of Luoyang City and surround all the mansions of traitors in the city."

"Please come to the mansion to discuss matters as soon as possible, such as Zhu Jun, the former Guangluxun Liu Bo, and the former Dangkou general Zhou Shen."

"Ask Yuan Shao to come to see me."

……

The atmosphere in Taifu's Mansion suddenly became tense, and the big and small Pengshi went in and out, riding around as fast as flying.

At dusk, the shocking news reached the Taifu Mansion that the general He Jin had been killed by rape.

Yuan Kui was dumbfounded, he didn't react for a long time, and only asked one sentence: "The general was killed?" ”

"The head of the Great General is here." The Tiger Ben Guard, who came to report the news, held He Jin's bloody head aloft.

Yuan Kui took a closer look. With joy in his heart, his face was as cold as frost, and he shot the case and ordered loudly: "The traitor and eunuch killed the minister without permission, and the crime is unforgivable." ”

"Order the Tiger Ben Zhonglang to General Yuan Shu and immediately lead the Tiger Ben Feather Forest to surround the palace."

The guard said: "Back to Taifu, the general's subordinates do not listen to General Yuan's command and are attacking the palace. The guard hurriedly said, "General Yuan has few people. It cannot be discouraged. Please Taifu ......"

Yuan Kui didn't wait for the guard to finish speaking, waved his hand and said, "Besieging the palace is a rebellion. Do they not want to live anymore? Go back and tell the highway, stop it immediately, don't frighten the Son of Heaven and the Queen Mother. Go ......."

Wu Qiong, the captain of the city gate, sent someone to send an urgent letter, saying that the holy decree of the Son of Heaven had just been delivered to him, and the content of the holy decree was the same as Yuan Kui's order, and it was also to block the city gate.

Wu Qiong asked Yuan Kui: "If the general and the traitor join forces." This holy decree is not a treacherous eunuch, but a real divine decree of the Son of Heaven. At this time, how will Taifu respond? Do you immediately send someone outside the city to ask for help? ”

Yuan Kui replied: "The general has been killed by a traitor. The Son of Heaven and the Queen Mother have been coerced by eunuchs, and all the decrees are eunuchs. Whoever holds the decree of the Son of Heaven is an accomplice to the eunuch and will be killed on the spot. ”

Yuan Kui looked at He Jin's head on the desk, and a smile appeared on his face.

The eunuch went crazy, and killing He Jin at this time not only dug his own grave, but also helped himself a great favor.

When Kou Zhun, who was in the Hussar General's Mansion in Jinyang, suddenly deployed his troops on the Yellow River and threatened that all parties in Luoyang would lead an army of 100,000 to the south if they did not stop fighting, Yuan Kui was cornered, and he had to take the risk of solving the two scourges that endangered the Han Dynasty in a short period of time.

He discussed with Lu Zhi and the others for a long time, and felt that although it was very difficult, if they missed this opportunity, there would be no possibility of saving Dahan Sheji in the future, so they decided to fight to the death.

But who would have thought that when they were at their most nervous, He Jin and the traitorous eunuch killed each other and lost both.

"God bless my big man." Yuan Kui looked up at the dim sky outside the window, and sighed, "Emperor Xian, the minister will soon be able to fulfill your wish, please help the minister again." ”

At this moment, a pillar of flame rose into the sky, and half of the sky was instantly red.

Yuan Kui was shocked and rushed out of the house.

Could it be that a desperate eunuch wants to set fire to the palace?

Yuan Shaofei generally rushed into the Taifu Mansion.

"Uncle, the highway is bold, not only led people to attack the palace, hit the palace gate, but also set fire to the Suzaku Gate." Yuan Shao waved his hand angrily and shouted, "Uncle, he is simply a madman. ”

When Yuan Kui heard that it was not a traitor who set fire to the palace, he was immediately relieved.

"This bastard, there is no distinction between priority and priority, and he has no brains at all" Yuan Kui scolded in a low voice, "This is the best reason to kill He Jin's subordinates, let him make trouble, the bigger the trouble, the better." ”

Yuan Shao snorted coldly, "After Luoyang is calmed down, this matter will definitely affect my uncle's prestige in the government and the opposition, and it will also affect my uncle's sole authority." Therefore, it is better for my uncle to let the highway immediately withdraw from the Suzaku Gate with the Tiger Ben Feather Forest. ”

Yuan Kui didn't care, waved his hand lightly, and said nonchalantly: "The top priority is two things, one is to immediately send someone to Pingxing to control the northern army, and the other is to kill He Miao." ”

"The Son of Heaven and the Queen Mother were coerced by the eunuchs, and the generals were killed by the eunuchs, and now I have the final say in Luoyang." Yuan Kui said calmly, "I worship you as the captain of Si Li, you immediately let Dong Min, the commander of Fengche, pretend to be a member of the General's Mansion to enter the Cheqi General's Mansion and kill He Miao and the others." You yourself took the men and horses to kill all the young mansion Xu Xiang, Si Li's lieutenant Fan Ling and a thousand traitorous eunuchs' protégés, don't leave any of them, kill them for me. ”

"Uncle, we should control the Northern Army first, and then kill He Miao, Xu Xiang and others." Yuan Shao hesitated for a moment and persuaded in a low voice, "Uncle, only when we control the Northern Army can we have the strength to speak, and we can persuade the ministers to depose the current son, otherwise we will ......"

"Deposed as the son of today?" Yuan Kui looked at Yuan Shao and suddenly said excitedly, "Originally, how could you say such a rebellious thing?" I, the fourth and third duke of the Yuan family, have been favored by the emperor, how can I do such a great rebellion and be scolded by the world? What I do today is to completely eradicate the traitors and relatives, completely eradicate the scourge that endangers my Han society, and in order to revive the power of the Han Dynasty, I have no selfish intentions, how can I do anything to depose the Son of Heaven? ”

"What is wrong with the Son today? If I put forward the idea of deposing the Son of Heaven, even if I control the Northern Army, there will be no place for me in Luoyang. My Yuan family is bound to become the enemy of the world, and the clan and other sect lords in Luoyang are bound to devour my Yuan family alive. ”

"Originally, you let me down so much." Yuan Kui said that later, he was already furious, "Do you want to let my Yuan family's hundreds of years of foundation be ruined, and let my Yuan family be left stinking for 10,000 years?" ”

Yuan Shao was dumbfounded, and he subconsciously defended: "Uncle, we connived at the general's subordinates to attack the palace and burn the palace gate, and we also connived at them to rush into the palace to kill the traitors. Do you know how much of a sin we have committed? In order to completely put an end to the disaster of our relatives, we also want to kill He Miao, and we also want to kill Xu Xiangfan Ling and other important ministers in the court. Once in the future, in order to seize power, the clan lords in Luoyang City will join forces to deal with us, and our Yuan family will become the enemy of everyone, and there will be no place to die. When the son and the queen mother know the truth today, how can they let us go? ”

Yuan Shao waved his hands quite out of shape, raised his voice and said: "Uncle, now you are the acting minister of state affairs of the Great Han Kingdom, you control this Luoyang City, you take the lead in killing traitors and relatives, those subordinates will of course spare no effort to support you and help you for their own future and future." But once the eunuchs in the palace are gone, and the relatives outside the palace are gone, will they still obey their words? Will you be genuinely willing to help you? My Yuan family's foundation for hundreds of years is not the same, and it will be destroyed in one fell swoop. ”

"If we depose the current son, imprison the empress dowager in Yongle Palace, set up King Chen as the new monarch, and my uncle acts as the agent of the state, then my Yuan family will not only be distinguished in meritorious service, but also be able to hold power alone. At that time, who else in this world would say the length of our Yuan family? Who else is our Yuan family's opponent? ”

Yuan Kui was furious, and he raised his hand and gave Yuan Shao a slap.

"Bastard, is that how you are a courtier?" Yuan Kui pointed to the door and shouted loudly, "You get out of here, do today's things for me, and give me the future things to think clearly, otherwise, you will never become the head of the Yuan family." ”

Yuan Shao didn't dare to reply, bowed down and hurriedly left.

Yuan Kui shouted at his back: "Even if my Yuan family is punished by the nine clans, it will be famous in history." ”

He Miao received the holy decree and talisman sent from the palace, and was stunned for a while, kneeling on the ground for a long time and not getting up.

Chang Shi Leyin hurriedly urged: "General, let's go quickly, get out of the city quickly, I'm afraid there will be a change." ”

He Miao suddenly burst into tears, crying and saying, "Why? Why did they kill my brother? Why? Why did you kill my brother? ”

Sima Zishao of the General's Mansion was so anxious that he pointed to the guard and thief Cao who was standing outside the door and shouted: "Quick, gather the men and horses, we will go out of the city immediately, and leave the city immediately." ”
