Han emperor system

Chapter 212 Yuan Shao's Advice (Part One)
Hearing what Che Qi General He Miao said, Empress Dowager He frowned: "Third brother, your elder brother is not such a person, don't talk nonsense."

"Empress Dowager, I'm definitely not talking nonsense, and I also speak ill of elder brother. Think about it, now that elder brother is a great general, he is also the head of the auxiliary ministers appointed by the young emperor. He has a high position and authority. Logically speaking, I should be happy for him, and should support him in everything. But you are my sister, Queen Mother, and I can't ignore my sister just to help my elder brother. With the current power of my elder brother, how can there be How dare the minister offend him? Even if there are a few people who disagree with his political views, they will not be killed just because they are all subjects of the late emperor."

"Is it true that someone asked you to persuade me? You didn't take money from others?" Queen Mother He knew this brother quite well, so she frowned and asked.

"Of course not, the queen mother has wronged me. I feel that the world is not stable now, and the ministers used by the first emperor cannot be abolished. Otherwise, the great Han, Jiangshan and the society will be more turbulent. I am really sincere. If the queen mother doesn't believe me, I am willing to take my heart out." Come out and let the queen mother see whether it is red or black."

"Okay, okay, I just asked, and I know you have good intentions. But, I am very happy that you can think about the great Han Jiangshan Sheji. I think our He family used to be butchers in the market. Never thought that there would be such a day. It is already very good that we can have the power and status we have today, we should be content, and stop thinking about other things, after all, this big man is still surnamed Liu."

"What the Queen Mother said, I must keep it in mind. It's just that my elder brother doesn't necessarily think so."

"Go down, the general, I know what to say about him."

Empress Dowager He waved her hand. She knew that her two older brothers were not expected to be great generals. They only gained their current status through their own relationship. But if they really wanted to have other disobedience Thinking, that is something she absolutely cannot agree to, after all, the current Emperor Han is her son.

Not long after, General He Jin really entered the palace to ask for an audience. Empress Dowager He announced him to enter the palace, sat on the head, watched him sit down, and only stared at him.

General He Jin saw the Queen Mother staring at him, as if he wanted to see through him, he didn't know why, he couldn't help feeling a little flustered, he looked up and down his whole body, and didn't see anything wrong.

"Queen Mother, I have something to announce." He Jin didn't take it to heart, and started to talk about it.

"Hehe, the General isn't busy in the Habayashi Army, and he's been running to the palace for three days, what's the important thing?"

"The queen mother should have heard that the queen mother Dong died in Hejian. This matter has absolutely nothing to do with the minister, but the Zhongchang servants Zhang Rang, Zhao Zhong and others spread rumors everywhere in Luoyang, saying that the minister murdered the queen mother." Now that I am walking on the street, I can hear a lot of discussion everywhere, and the finger is directed at me."

"Well, I have also heard about this matter. The Holy Majesty asked me the day before yesterday, saying that there is no wind without waves, and that flies do not bite eggs without encounters. Let me ask you, the general, if this matter has anything to do with you? ?”

"Ah, the Holy Majesty asked about this, so I wonder if the Holy Majesty also believed the rumors outside?" The general He Jin broke out in a cold sweat when he heard this.

"That's not true, because the Holy Majesty said again that the general is now a minister of the imperial court. He not only controls the power of the Habayashi Army, but also is the head of the four auxiliary ministers. He is the person he relies on most. He should be a great man. For the sake of the country and the country, he would never do such a stupid thing. At that time, the palace told him that the general was the uncle of the country and the person who supported him most firmly, absolutely not, Never do anything that betrays you."

"Thank you Empress Dowager for your trust. I will definitely live up to the Empress Dowager's high expectations and do my best to serve my great man. It's just that those traitors and eunuchs have slandered the old minister for no reason and ruined my reputation. I also ask the Empress Dowager to be wise and allow me to eliminate harm for the country. Get rid of these traitors, so as not to bring disaster to the big man."

"The meaning of the general, I understand that Zhang Rang and others are just a group of old people, what disasters can be caused, I keep them, but because they have been living in the forbidden palace for decades, and they are very familiar with everything in the palace. Familiar with them, sometimes they are needed. Now they just want a place to retire, and sometimes they object to some of your actions, but they are just afraid that they will not be able to stay in the palace any longer."

"Empress Dowager, please think about it. During the first dynasty, the disaster of eunuchs was extremely tragic. Therefore, General Dou Wu and Grand Tutor Chen Fan once wanted to eradicate the disaster of eunuchs. However, they were eunuchs instead because of incomplete details. The traitors counterattacked and wiped out the clan. This is a group of guys who have lost their humanity. They will do anything to satisfy their desire for power and status. Especially the group of eunuchs headed by Shi Changshi, who have been in charge of Zhongjuan for a long time. The fact that the party is united in the camp is not a small disaster. In the past, Feng Xu's generation colluded with Ma Yuanyi, the leader of the yellow scarf thief, and later there were Jian Shuo's followers who wanted to disrupt the government and abolish the monarchy. Now there are Zhang Rang, Zhao Zhong and other thieves with Dong The Empress Dowager has plotted against the law, and has always wanted to get rid of the veterans. Can't the Empress Dowager listen to the veterans once? Only by punishing the eunuchs and eunuchs of Zhongjuan can the Forbidden Palace be safe, and the Empress and the Holy Majesty will be safe."

"Okay, don't go any further. The eunuch is in charge of Zhongjuan. This is the rule of the past dynasties, and it is also the old practice of the Han Dynasty for hundreds of years. How can this palace be abolished regardless of everything. Besides, the late emperor just passed away. The Zhongchang servants are all his former ministers. If you kill them at this time, won't the people in the world think that you really have evil intentions? Tell yourself, wouldn't you just fall into the tongues of some people? Among them, do you think you are not thinking about Jiangshan Sheji?"

Although General He Jin has a high position and authority, he actually doesn't have much real talent and learning, and naturally he doesn't have much decision-making, otherwise he wouldn't have procrastinated on the matter of eunuchs, so that he died without a place to bury him.

He has always been used to listening to other people's opinions, especially the opinions of Empress Dowager He, he has to listen, so even though he listened to some ministers and felt that the eunuch should be killed, but Empress Dowager He refused, and he had nothing to do.

Back at the General's Mansion, a group of officials were still waiting for his news. Seeing him coming back in a hurry, with no expression on his face, some people immediately knew that there was nothing to be done, but Yuan Shao stepped forward and asked hopefully:
"General, I'm going to enter the palace to seek the Queen Mother. I don't know what's going on?"

General He Jin slowly glanced around the surrounding officials, and seeing everyone's eyes full of hope, he couldn't help sighing, and slowly shook his head:
"The general told the empress dowager about the dangers of eunuchs being raped and harming the court, but the empress dowager thought that the late emperor was mourned, and we were not thinking about the ancestral temple by killing the old ministers. She said that keeping these old eunuchs was just to let them There is a place to retire. As long as we can let them go, they will definitely not have any more plans. The queen mother is determined not to allow them to be killed, so what can I do?"

"Hey, I didn't expect that they had already talked about moving the Queen Mother. Now we can't move them anymore."

"General, I have a few words to say. I saw that the eunuchs were in close contact with General Cheqi, and they often sent things to General Cheqi's mansion. I wonder if they used General Cheqi to persuade the Queen Mother?"

At this time, Chen Lin, the chief steward of the He Mansion, said angrily to General He Jin and the others that, as a housekeeper, he naturally knew about these things, but he never said it before, because he didn't want to embarrass the general.Today, such a thing happened again, which shocked everyone. He felt that it would be better to speak up, so as to avoid similar situations from happening in the future.

"This bastard, who was greedy for a little money, actually ruined the good things of this general. Now he is there, so I called him and I asked him." He Jin obviously knew something, and he knew better about supporting General He Miao behind the scenes. It was his own mother, Lord Wuyang, but he had to put on an air of cursing.

"General Cheqi went out, and someone told his servants that he was going to the barracks, and he won't be back until evening."

"I don't care about him, let him come to see me when I come back. Now let's talk about it, what else can we do next? If these eunuchs are not eliminated, the general is restless, and the big man will never have peace. Even if the Queen Mother objects, I will The general has to find a way to get rid of them."

"The general is right. These eunuchs and traitors in the Forbidden Palace are incomplete, so their minds are extreme. Although they have entered the elegant hall, they are in the side of the Holy Majesty and the Empress Dowager. If they have bad intentions, they will suffer endless disasters. Only when we eradicate them can we rest assured.”

"Think about it, everyone, who has a plan to kill the eunuch?"

"General, there is a plan in the end, I wonder if it is possible?" Yuan Shao's eyes rolled, and he suddenly got a plan.

"Since there is a strategy at the beginning, let's talk about it quickly."

"The Empress Dowager does not allow this matter, so the general has nothing to do. In the humble opinion of the general, it is better for the general to send out a few secret calls, summon heroes from all directions, and let them come to Beijing to punish the eunuchs. It is just around the corner. As long as you arrive At that time, heroes from all walks of life will come here, just like Chao Cuo in the past, the Qing emperor will eliminate the traitors, and the empress dowager can't stop it when the matter is urgent."

"A good strategy, this plan is great, it can not only get rid of the eunuchs and traitors, but also save the general from the responsibility of the queen mother. It will definitely kill all the eunuchs and restore the peace of the Han court. Come, send Send a letter of call to summon heroes from all over the world to enter Beijing." General He Jin's eyes lit up, he clapped his palms and burst out laughing, and immediately ordered someone to issue a letter of call.

"No, General, no."

At this moment, one of the steps below flashed out and yelled loudly. General He Jin was taken aback for a moment, because the person who yelled was Chen Lin, the steward of his He Mansion, and frowned and asked:

"My lord, why not?"
