He Jin was already a little impatient at this time and said: "These ideas of yours are too childish. I now have all the power in the world and hold the heavy troops of Luoyang City. What can a group of eunuchs do to me?"
Yuan Shao stood up at this time and said: "If you must go, that's okay. Please allow me to bring some soldiers and horses to go with you to protect your safety."
So Yuan Shao and Cao Cao each selected 500 elite troops and ordered Yuan Shao's younger brother Yuan Shu to lead them. Yu Yi followed He Jin and planned to enter the palace with him.
When everyone walked to the gate of Changle Palace, the Huangmen suddenly came to announce the decree of Queen Mother He, "The Queen Mother only announced that General He will enter alone, and others are not allowed to follow!"
This behavior of Huangmen made Yuyi further feel the existence of the conspiracy. He strongly requested to go in with He Jin, but He Jin disagreed and just asked everyone to wait for him outside, while he walked in with his head held high.
Arriving at the gate of the Jiade Palace, Zhang Rang and Duan Gui came out to greet him, and then the sword and axe-hand appeared. He Jin was startled and broke into a cold sweat.
Zhang Rang loudly rebuked He Jin and said: "What kind of crime did Empress Dowager Dong commit? You must poison her to death. After she was buried, you still claimed to be sick. Don't think we don't know. You are a butcher." We are just juniors, we are the emperor's servants, that's why we have the glory and wealth we have today, you don't want to be grateful, you always want to take our lives, you say we are the source of trouble, then who are the upright people?"
This series of rhetorical questions left He Jin speechless. He hurriedly looked for a way out, but the palace doors around him were closed. The swordsman moved forward and cut He Jin into two pieces. In this way, He Jin paid for his stupidity. paid the price.
Yu Yi and others waited outside for a long time but did not see He coming in or out, so they shouted outside the palace gate, "General, please get in the car and go back to the palace!"
Zhang Rang sent someone to remove He Jin's head from the wall and out of the palace gate, and read out the Queen Mother He's decree, saying: "He Jin's rebellion has been punished on the spot, and everyone else has been pardoned."
Looking at He Jin's head, Yu Yi turned away, looking a little sad. To say that this He Jin was not a bad person, but it was a pity that he refused to listen and now paid a heavy price.
Yuan Shao was not as calm as Yu Yi, and shouted: "The eunuch murdered the minister, let us eliminate the harm together!"
He Jin's general Wu Kuang was extremely angry when he heard the news of his murder. He set fire to him outside Qingsuo Gate regardless of the situation. Yuan Shu took this opportunity and led his soldiers into the palace. Wherever he passed, As long as he is a eunuch, no matter who he is, he will be killed on sight. Yuan Shao, Cao Cao, and Yu Yi also entered the palace together. Zhao Zhong, Cheng Kuang, Xia Yun, and Guo Sheng were driven to Cuihua Tower and chopped into pieces.
Flames soared into the sky in Luoyang City Palace. Zhang Rang, Duan Gui, Cao Jie, and Hou Lan kidnapped the Queen Mother He and the Prince together, and took the back road to the North Palace in an attempt to escape.
Lu Zhi was upset about He Jin's recruitment of foreign soldiers and resigned from his official post. However, before he left Luoyang City, he saw the blazing fire in the palace, so he put on his armor and wanted to go to the North Palace Gate to see what was going on. Just when he saw Duan Gui pushing the Queen Mother He towards his direction, Lu Zhi shouted loudly: "Duan Gui, you are such a traitor, how dare you kidnap the Queen Mother He!"
After Duan Gui heard the sound, he sighed that the situation was not good, turned around and left. Queen Mother He jumped out of the window, and Lu Zhi caught up and saved her.
Wu Kuang led his soldiers into the inner court and saw He Miao coming out with a sword. Wu Kuang couldn't believe his eyes and shouted: "He Miao actually participated in the murder of your brother. It is really unacceptable." , please kill him together."
After hearing this, everyone felt very angry and responded one after another, saying: "We want to kill the bandits who murdered my brother!"
He Miao wanted to escape, but was surrounded by soldiers and was instantly chopped into pieces with random knives.
In order to increase the effectiveness, Yuan Shao ordered his soldiers to separately search for the ten permanent servants. Even their family members were killed, regardless of age. Yu Yi wanted to stop him, but he was afraid of causing trouble, so he participated in the rescue of the palace together with Cao Cao. Lu Zhi rescued Queen Mother He from a fire, and Cao Cao suggested that she take charge of the overall situation and at the same time send some soldiers to find the way out of the young emperor.
Yuan Shao's actions caused the tragic death of many innocent people, and also made Yu Yi change his view of him. He thought that although he was a general of the guard and commanded a part of the forbidden army, the distant water could not save the near thirst and could not play any role.
Zhang Rang and Duan Gui kidnapped the Young Emperor and King Chenliu, and braved fireworks and fled overnight to the vicinity of Beimang Mountain. At the second watch, they suddenly heard shouts from behind, and a group of people came from central Henan. Min Gong, the official, had a very clear purpose, and he was also ordered to fight against thieves.
At this time, there was the Yellow River in front of him and the pursuers behind him. Zhang Rang was at the end of his rope. Thinking about what it would be like to be tortured to death after being caught, Zhang Rang turned around and jumped into the Yellow River.
The Young Emperor and King Chenliu were not sure whether the person coming was a reliable person, so they hid in the grass and did not dare to make a sound. They did not come out until the army and horses slowly dispersed. The two of them lay on the ground for a long time. It was too long and my arms lost all feeling. At the fourth watch, I felt very hungry. They hugged each other and cried bitterly. They were afraid that the cry would attract attention, so they hid in the grass again.
King Chenliu suggested: "This place is not suitable for staying for a long time. We should go elsewhere to find a way to survive."
So the two of them walked together and climbed to the shore. They encountered thorns all over the road. They couldn't see the road clearly in the dark, and there were many scratches on their bodies.
While he was hesitating, a group of fireflies suddenly flew in from somewhere else, lighting up the road ahead. The fireflies hovered in front of the young emperor and refused to leave, as if they were protecting him.
King Chenliu sighed: "This is God protecting us two brothers!"
So I walked forward using the light of fireflies. At five o'clock, my feet really hurt and I couldn't move anymore, so I lay down on a haystack next to the hill.
In front of the haystack was a farmhouse. The owner of the farmhouse always dreamed of something happening in the backyard that night, so he put on his clothes and carried a lantern to explore the situation. He looked around and saw someone lying down on the haystack, so he asked about the situation. , said: "Whose children are you from? Why did you come to sleep in my backyard?"
The young emperor was a little timid and did not dare to answer, but King Chen Liu straightened his back, pointed at the young emperor and said: "He is the current holy emperor. Because of the disaster caused by the ten permanent servants, the two of us fled here. I am Chen Stay the king."
The owner of the village was very surprised after hearing this. He knelt down and kowtowed and said, "I am Cui Yi, the younger brother of Situ Cui Lie of the former dynasty. I couldn't stand the Shi Chang servants buying and selling officials and causing trouble in the court, so I lived in seclusion here."
King Chenliu sighed: "That's great. Please help us."
Cui Yi nodded, quickly helped the two of them up, took them to the manor to have some food, arranged for them to stay, and entertained them well.
Zhang Rang and Duan Gui ran away separately. After Zhang Rang jumped into the river, Duan Gui became the target of arrest. He did not have the courage like Zhang Rang and was caught quickly.
Mingong personally interrogated and asked about the whereabouts of the Young Emperor and King Chenliu, and replied: "They got separated halfway. I don't know their current situation."
