Chapter 2427 Death of Guo Sheng
Jian Shuo's death caused a huge wave both on the surface and in secret.
He was different from Zhang Gong and Xia Yun before him. When they died, only two powerful eunuchs died. The emperor could arrange new eunuchs to take over at any time.
Jian Shuo was different. He had military power, was extremely loyal to the royal family, and could compete head-on with General He Jin. He was also a real helper to the new emperor Liu Bian. Although Jian Shuo was entrusted by Liu Hong and was optimistic about Liu Xie, he would not harm the two brothers. If we were to say which eunuch was the most loyal to the Liu family, it would be Jian Shuo.
Zhang Rang, Zhao Zhong and others had their own selfish motives long ago, but they were suppressed by Liu Hong before. Although they did a lot of excessive things, they were also under control. As long as Liu Hong, the Dragon Lord, showed his power, they would be nothing.
Moreover, at this critical moment, the death of Jian Shuo, who controlled the military power, would bring about a series of reactions that would be huge and could even directly affect the destiny of the Han Dynasty!
Among the series of reactions were the eight commanders of Xiyuan.
Of the eight armies in Xiyuan, Yuan Shao led his troops out of Luoyang, and only had seven armies left. Together with the imperial guards, he was still able to defeat He Jin's troops.
Upon learning of Jian Shuo's death, the other seven Xiyuan captains all had different thoughts... Their reactions would also change the situation in the Divine Capital Luoyang.
He Jin took the initiative to admit to Zhang Rang that he was the one who killed Jian Shuo, which has many profound meanings.
One of them is to say that I killed Jian Shuo just for personal reasons and I would not kill the Ten Attendants casually.
Another thing is to demonstrate. I can kill one eunuch or two. Are you afraid?
This was actually a very stupid thing to do. But he still did it, which meant that this general who was going to become a powerful official was already arrogant! !
Well... when the staff found out that He Jin had voluntarily admitted that Jian Shuo was murdered, they all rushed over to find He Jin.
The new emperor had just ascended the throne and his foundation was not yet stable, so everything had to be gentle. This had been discussed before. Their staff also used the balance to make the eunuchs temporarily compromise and support Liu Bian as emperor.
Just wait a few years, wait until everything is stable, and then keep other things secret. However, you suddenly do something like this... It's really...
Even Yuan Shao, who had already left the capital, used special means to return quickly. At this moment, Yuan Shao wanted to give He Jin, this fool, a big kiss.
People born in a humble family have no future, but once they achieve something or get an opportunity, they become arrogant and even show off like this. It's just as expected!
The serious matter of punishing the eunuchs has begun!!!
According to the course of the mythological world in Lin Mu's previous life, He Jin also admitted this after Jian Shuo's death. Later, when Xun You and others learned about it, they actually resigned from their posts and left the General's Mansion. This also laid the groundwork for He Jin's later murder.
However, this time, Xun You and others were not there, but several staff members resigned after learning about this.
"If they want to leave, let them go! Humph! So what if this general admits it, what can they do to me? ! ! ! Ah!!!" He Jin threw the wine jar to the ground, angry and laughing.
I am angry for those who resigned from their posts, and I am laughing for truly eliminating a powerful enemy.
He had sent out Cheng Lian and others before, but he was not even 50% sure of killing Jian Shuo. He He Jin just wanted to give it a try, but he didn't expect that it would actually work.
Although he later learned that he had the help of Gongsun Zan, he was willing to bear the responsibility of killing Jian Shuo!
Who is he? He is the uncle of the current emperor, what is he afraid of? !
His staff had analyzed for him that the real threat was Jian Shuo. Zhang Rang, Zhao Zhong and others were just blood-sucking insects attached to the emperor. If the emperor showed his power, they would be trampled to death.
But Jian Shuo was different. He had military power and great authority, which posed a great threat to him.
If it weren't for the dissuasion of Zhang Rang, Zhao Zhong and others, Jian Shuo would have directly made Liu Xie the emperor.
As for Jian Shuo, as long as He Jin was eliminated, he would have the power to support Liu Xie to the throne.
Now, no matter what, Jian Shuo is dead, the biggest obstacle has been removed, and from now on, we will be able to sit on the Diaoyutai more securely.
When he thought of this, He Jin stuffed the wine bottle that the maid had refilled into his mouth and started drinking in big gulps.
At this moment, he wished he could go to the palace immediately to tell his sister the good news.
The future Han Dynasty will be controlled by these brothers and sisters!!!
"My lord, how could you kill Jian Shuo without permission?" A new face stepped forward and asked in deep sorrow.
This person is the new chief clerk of the General’s Mansion. His surname is Chen, his name is Lin, and his courtesy name is Kong Zhang.
"Eunuchs are hated by the world. If I kill one of them, it will be a blessing to the people. What's wrong with that?!" He Jin retorted.
"Those eunuchs once advised Empress Dowager He that the general was arbitrarily killing his close associates and monopolizing power to weaken the emperor. This is the evidence," Chen Lin said in a serious tone.
"Hmph, that's just womanly kindness. Officials have been a scourge to the royal court for a long time, blinding the emperor's ears and causing many national policies to be unable to be implemented. This has weakened the people and is the source of troubles in the world." Yuan Shao also stood up to refute Chen Lin.
He was particularly in favor of killing eunuchs. He had been trying to dissuade He Jin from purging all eunuchs. But it was unknown what kind of agreement they had reached in private, and both sides were safe and sound.
This tactic of sowing discord was very effective.
"That's right. The Yellow Gate Attendant has been in power for a long time, and he has been colluding with the Empress Dowager Changle for personal gain. The general should select virtuous people, rectify the world, and eliminate this harm to the country." An adviser named Zhang Jin shouted.
"My lord, if we kill Jian Shuo, it might alert Zhang Rang and the other eunuchs. Why don't we kill them all at once?"
"Zhang Rang, Zhao Zhong and the others are like frightened birds at the moment. What are they afraid of?"
"Aren't you afraid that they will be desperate?"
"What are you afraid of? We are seven feet tall men, why would we be afraid of a few eunuchs?!"
Listening to the debate, He Jin suppressed his joy and looked slightly cold. These guys, why are they so disappointing!
"My lord, the soldiers from the five camps on both sides should be ready for battle!" Chen Lin sighed and suggested.
"Hmph! It's just killing a eunuch, why do you have to do this?" When He Jin heard Chen Lin asking him to bring out the soldiers from the five battalions on the left and right, his expression changed slightly again.
Doesn't this mean that he is stage fright?
How can this work!
"If the Xiyuan Army and the Imperial Guards go out of the camp and besiege the General's Mansion, how will the General deal with it?" Chen Lin asked. "Don't be afraid of ten thousand, just be afraid of one. My Lord, be cautious." Chen Lin advised sincerely.
"Okay, pass on my order, the five battalions put on armor and helmets, raise the flags and beat the drums, and wait for the troops!" After thinking about it, He Jin decided to give in to Chen Lin this time.
After all, he was really afraid that the guards would come and kill him.
Although the General's Mansion could hold out for a while, if they were not prepared, the enemy would be able to break into the mansion before the reinforcements arrived.
"General, the Xiyuan army is waiting for your orders." Yuan Shao said with a fist salute.
At this moment, he wished he could lead his army directly into the palace, kill all the eunuchs who were against them, and then control the emperor and implement national policies that were beneficial to their great aristocratic families!
By then, I will have power over the world!!!
After that, everyone continued to discuss. However, everyone gradually accepted the result and began to discuss how to deal with subsequent changes and respond positively.
However, He Jin, who was in charge, was drunk. He was so happy that he had gotten rid of a worry.
Anyway, in the end, he didn't know what his staff had discussed... He only remembered the dancer's soft and tender peak...
……
In the imperial palace, after some commotion, Zhang Rang, Zhao Zhong and the other ten eunuchs gathered in a palace again.
At this moment, their faces were extremely solemn. When they gathered together, they looked around and found that some familiar faces would never be seen again.
In the past, when we got together, the seats were full, but now, there are still a few seats empty...
Things are different and people have changed. Everything is over.
The ten eunuchs who had gathered together were all silent at this moment, and no one knew what to say.
The death of Jian Shuo was actually a huge blow to them.
When the nest is destroyed, no egg can remain intact!!!
"Jian Shuo's death was caused by He Jin." Zhang Rang broke the silence.
As he said this, he looked at Guo Sheng meaningfully.
Guo Sheng lowered his head guiltily, not daring to look back at Zhang Rang.
Zhao Zhong, upon hearing Zhang Rang's words, sighed and said, "Earlier, Jian Shuo wanted to overturn the previous agreement and secretly kill He Jin, so that we could take control of the power of the Dragon Court, overthrow Your Majesty, and establish Xie as the emperor."
The others were slightly shocked when they heard this. For such a confidential matter, they were not contacted? To be on guard against them?
"At that time, there were three of us discussing it, and the other one was Guo Sheng." Zhao Zhong said quietly.
When the others heard this, they were slightly shocked, as if they had thought of some key information.
Guo Sheng and He Jin were from the same county, and he also contributed to the rise of He Jin and Empress He... Then all this...
"Humph! That guy is usually arrogant and sometimes doesn't even take us seriously. He deserves his death this time!" Song Dian snorted. He actually had some opinions about Jian Shuo. Now that Guo Sheng was involved, he had to express his position because he and Guo Sheng were good friends.
"We will serve the Liu family for our entire lives. This is our bounden duty. Your Majesty lives well, and only then can we live well. We have the power and wealth we need for a lifetime, all thanks to your Majesty's favor."
"How can the hair be attached if the skin is not there?"
"We are retainers, retainers of the Liu family. We are also a family!"
"Everything we have belongs to Your Majesty. Everyone must remember this iron rule!" Zhang Rang said with a serious expression.
"Retainers cannot communicate with outsiders and damage the interests of the family! This is also an iron rule, I hope everyone will remember it!"
"This time, someone broke the iron rule." Zhang Rang said dimly.
The others were all smart people and knew who Zhang Rang was talking about.
Afterwards, Zhang Rang took out the two pieces of paper.
Both pieces of paper were very wrinkled, obviously having been ravaged by the angry Zhang Rang. They were finally smoothed out, but the dense creases on them showed how furious Zhang Rang was.
When two pieces of paper appeared, everyone was startled.
After reading the content, everyone looked at Guo Sheng, including Song Dian. Although he had opinions about Jian Shuo, he also hated the idea of collaborating with the enemy. They were a community of interests, and once this community was destroyed, wouldn't that be the end of his life?
How can I stand up when your best friend is trying to kill me? ! !
Then, the hall fell into silence.
Xu Ying, who was guarding outside, couldn't hear anything, but when he heard the sound of a heavy cup being smashed, he rushed in with his men.
Afterwards, Xu Ying saw Guo Sheng surrounded by several people holding swords.
Without hesitation, Xu Ying rushed over with his weapon in hand...
After a while, Zhang Rang, Zhao Zhong and others walked out with blood all over their faces, looking very sad.
They were all splattered with blood.
After they left, Xu Ying looked at the body that had been chopped into paste and it was impossible to tell whose it belonged to, and a smile appeared on his face.
Brothers, you should have already taken all the treasures from Guo Sheng's mansion!
