……
All in all, Zhang Rang didn't really agree with Liu Hong's idea.In his eyes, Liu Hong seemed to be scared out of his wits. In order to leave the palace and find his own "comfort zone", he had already resorted to unscrupulous means.
It's just that he can't say these words clearly.
Just a glance with Liu Hong, he is a regular attendant, the chief eunuch in the palace, and the representative of the current emperor.
All of Zhang Rang's rights and wealth depend on Liu Hong.Once Liu Hong falls, it will be absolutely harmless to him, and even for this reason, Zhang Rang must find a way to help Liu Hong realize his plan.
It's just that in the process of realizing it, what kind of things will happen... It's not what Zhang Rang said.
……
He had made it clear to Liu Hong before that he was old and it was time to retire.
Although Liu Hong did not publicly respond to this matter, Zhang Rang was already mentally prepared. After this incident, he would find a place to retire in peace and stop asking about things like these court power rivalries.
Now it seems that instead of arguing with Liu Hong because of this matter, Zhang Rang feels that he might as well be more straightforward, and just play a feign death like Liu Hong today.
He has been fighting with He Jin for decades, and he is also in a high position, and he has been enjoying life for decades, and he has long since lost that kind of worldly desire.
The reason why he has been fighting with He Jin before is that besides the inertia caused by his own habits, it is more for self-protection, that's all.
If there is no accident, after today, I probably won't have the chance to meet Liu Hong again.Thinking of this, Zhang Rang didn't know why, but he felt a burst of relief, as if he had let go of some heavy burden, and he was far less tired than before.
Slightly squinting his eyes and glanced at the direction outside the window, Zhang Rang stood up, called two young eunuchs he was familiar with from outside the hall, and began to arrange it like this.
……
"come here……"
"Pass me a letter to bring me a death row prisoner from the court prison outside the palace. He should be in his early thirties with a haggard face. Find him as soon as possible and bring him in for a kilometer."
……
"Oh, and you guys, go get ready. Wait a while and act according to my wink. Don't be surprised no matter what happens, just do as I say. Otherwise...you should understand the consequences."
After simply giving instructions to the trembling little eunuchs around, Zhang Rang walked out of the hall.
When Liu Hong was still there just now, he had already told the other party one of the places where his many treasures were hidden.If he guessed right, Jian Shuo should have sneaked out of the city with Liu Hong and headed for the island in Qiongzhou by now.
And as soon as these two left, the person with the highest status in Luoyang Palace would naturally become Zhang Rang, his regular attendant.
Finding a "corpse" to act as Liu Hong's dead ghost, and sending someone to spread the news of the other party's death are the basics.Zhang Rang believed that as long as these matters were handed over to the eunuchs under his command, even if the handling could not be [-]% perfect, it would be no problem to deceive those courtiers who were not familiar with the emperor.
As for his true self... Naturally, he has to deal with some problems that only he can solve.
For example, how to take advantage of this opportunity to weave a crime to bring He Jin down, it is best to seal He Jin's mouth before many officials arrive at the scene.
And if the other party couldn't do it without preparation, Zhang Rang only felt that he might have to think long-term.
……
"Come here! Help me call Zhao Zhong and several other permanent attendants to the Jiade Hall, and tell them that I have something urgent to discuss with them."
"Also, go to my mansion to find my prison slave, and tell him that it is my order to let him quickly bring three hundred strong servants, dressed in soft inner armor, carrying knives and axes, and pretending to be a carpenter Enter the palace."
Standing at the gate of the palace hall and orderly giving orders one by one, Zhang Rang kept his gaze fixed on the palace gate not far away, while secretly calculating the time in his heart.
In the palace at this moment, the cries of the late emperor's death could be heard endlessly. Many young ladies who had never seen the world listened to the news, and even trembled in fright, as if it was not Liu Hong who died, but their own father, Like my mother.
Faced with such chaos, Zhang Rang was naturally unmoved.
When the rest of the ten permanent attendants had already taken their positions and had passed with Zhang Rang one after another, Zhang Rang saw at the gate of the palace a burly man wearing a black iron armor who was about five big and three thick leading people into the palace. Only then did he take a deep breath, lightly made an expression of bitterness and hatred, and just walked towards the direction outside the palace gate to meet him.
……
"Who is making noise here!"
"It turned out to be He Jin'er. I haven't gone looking for you yet, but you have come to my door. How brave you are!"
"Come here, take down this traitorous official and traitor for me, so as to comfort the spirit of the late emperor!"
……
Just like that, outside the palace, the two just had a face-to-face meeting, Zhang Rang immediately took the initiative, and put a big hat on He Jin's head, and a group of unknown palace guards around heard the sound and turned towards He Jin's The direction forced the past.
……
"Zhang Rang! What are you barking like a dog here!"
"A group of Xiaoxiao, open your dog eyes for me, grandpa, I am He Jin, the great general of the dynasty!"
"I want to see, who dares to catch me!?"
Facing the hat that Zhang Rang slapped on him head-on, He Jin was indeed stunned for a while.
It's just that after fighting with Zhang Rang for so many years, He Jin quickly reacted as if he was belatedly aware of it.
Without hesitation, he followed Zhang Rang's direction and moved forward. He Jin shouted loudly, and then the attendants who followed him also stepped forward one after another, even faintly confronting the guards in the palace around Zhang Rang.
……
In fact, when He Jin stepped forward against Zhang Rang without fear, Zhang Rang already knew that the chance of him directly relying on the guards in the palace to win him was very slim.
It would be fine if He Jin showed any hesitation, the soldiers of the guards were half-hearted, and it was really possible to detain him.But now he rushed forward in such a daze, affected by his status, those soldiers in the palace really didn't dare to do anything more to him.
This can't be blamed on those soldiers. After all, the first rank of officials crushed people to death. Facing a general who was almost under one man and over ten thousand in the Eastern Han Dynasty, anyone who encountered such a thing had to be mentally calm. Weigh in.
But for Zhang Rang, such a result was nothing, he had expected such a situation a long time ago.
Following Zhang Yan's order, hundreds of knives and axemen who had been ambushing everywhere in the palace suddenly rushed up and rushed towards He Jin.
"Give me your hands!"
"Then He Jin, kid, deceived the emperor and committed crimes. This is a capital crime! Where are the knives and axes, and quickly bring them to justice!"
……
"You...you dare!"
"Come on, hurry up and protect the general!"
……
For a moment, the originally quiet Luoyang Palace suddenly became noisy.
When many courtiers arrived after hearing the news, those swordsmen in Zhang Rang's mansion had already fought with the troops brought by He Jin, and beside the two groups of people, the group of people in the palace The guards hid far away, looking at a loss.
……
"Oh! Zhang... Zhang Changshi?"
"General He!?"
"You... what are you doing!"
In the end, it was still a group of old voices that broke the battle between the two parties, and also made the movements of the servants who were still fighting slightly stagnant, turning their heads to look at their boss.
Only then did everyone realize that not long after, many people came to the palace.
For example, there are two Sikong and Situ among the three lords, and six among the nine ministers. These are all officials who have the power to enter the palace to discuss matters. Now that the Luoyang Palace is in chaos, everyone doesn't need to report, just rush in like this came in.
Turning around and seeing a group of old ministers looking at him in horror, Zhang Rang's heart skipped a beat, and a stern look flashed in his eyes.
……
"Everyone of the Han Dynasty, He Jin dared to murder the late emperor, and he deserved death."
"Although I, Zhang Rang, have a bad reputation and have always had deep grievances with you, but for the sake of the late emperor, I hope you can help me. Let's take down this thief together to comfort the late emperor's spirit in heaven!"
"The crow has the meaning of feeding back, and the sheep knows the grace of kneeling and breastfeeding. Even the birds and beasts know how to be grateful, but the thief emptied the emperor's salary, but his intentions were wrong, and he poisoned the late emperor with the three elixir, which made the late emperor's life difficult. .”
"I, Zhang Rang...Although I, Zhang Rang, am a man with a disability, I also know propriety, righteousness and shame. I know that everything about me was bestowed by the late emperor, so I should swear to die for it."
"The thief is very powerful today, if I don't kill him to take revenge on the late emperor, it will be hard to appease the hatred in my heart!"
……
Gritting his teeth and stomping his feet, Zhang Rang didn't care what was there and what was gone, he rushed in front of He Jin first, and knelt down in the direction of the courtiers with a plop.
This kneeling seemed simple, but He Jin, who hadn't figured out how to speak in the distance, felt a thump in his heart, suddenly had a bad premonition, and his eyes began to wander around.
As for the group of veterans who had just arrived here and didn't know what happened, they suddenly seemed to have seen something incredible. Looking at Zhang Rang who was kneeling in his direction, his heartbeat suddenly stopped.
"Hiss—hiss, Zhang Chang serves you here, if you have something to say, you are now..."
……
"Wait, you just said that He Jin poisoned the late emperor? Do you have evidence?"
……
"Hey! Zhang Changshi, you get up first, you get up and talk first. If you kneel like this, we really don't know what to do..."
……
Everyone's chattering voices came from not far ahead, but Zhang Rang folded his hands in front of him at this moment, lowered his head deeply, and showed a strange smile from an angle that everyone couldn't see.
"Hmph...Are you surprised?"
"You are a general, you want face, you are noble, you can't let go of your figure... But I am not."
"Well, now I want to see, what else can you say? What else can you say?"
From the corner of his eyes, he looked at He Jin, who was sweating profusely not far away, and Zhang Rang felt a faint sense of complacency in his heart.
……
In fact, as many people know, in the officialdom system of the Eastern Han Dynasty, the voice of foreign relatives was much higher than that of eunuchs.
Because the eunuch represents the imperial power, weakens the power of the courtiers, and restricts the power of the courtiers, so in the entire officialdom and even the aristocratic family, the reputation of the ten permanent attendants represented by Zhang Rang and others can be said to be extremely stinky.
Under normal circumstances, if Zhang Rang sent people to directly attack and kill He Jin just now, if everyone present saw it, Zhang Rang's situation could be said to be very bad.
After all, when they don't know who to help, most ordinary people judge things by helping relatives instead of helping.
It's just that Zhang Rang's operation just now reversed this extremely unfavorable situation very cleverly, and even relied on preemptive strikes to force everyone's attention to He Jin.
……
Who is Zhang Rang, Zhang Rang is the current dynasty...or the number one celebrity in the previous dynasty, and the most trusted courtier of His Majesty the Son of Heaven.Although his position is the same, his status is much stronger than the so-called Sangong Jiuqing.
Don't you see, although most of the courtiers hate Zhang Rang, these people have to admit that they all have almost the same idea in their hearts:
That is, one day, like Zhang Rang, I will be able to gain the emperor's favor and important task, and become the next "Zhang Rang" of the great man.
Under this kind of psychology, you can hate Zhang Rang very much, and you can despise his behavior, but the only thing you can't deny is that Zhang Rang has a superior status far surpassing everyone present, including He Jin.
