Sili Luoyang City West Sunset Pavilion
Although the advancing Dong Jun's front army has begun to stop and camp, the rear army's troops are still continuing, emerging from the horizon of the official road to the west.
The former troops stationed in the camp were the elite soldiers of the Dong family. The wolf-like and tiger-like soldiers all carried bows and spears, and wore helmets and armor. Ordinary soldiers wore two crotch armors, while middle-level military officials wore sleeve armors. When they stopped, there was a "sanding" rustling sound of armor leaves. When the sun shone on the armor of these Dong Jun soldiers, the light Reflection, shining.
The elites of the former army have been stationed, and elite cavalrymen are constantly galloping out from the Chinese soldiers and horses to order various units of the army. Among these galloping Chinese soldiers and horses, there are many Qiang Hu cavalry with round heads, wide faces, high cheekbones and deep eyes. They are stout and sit comfortably. On the fast-running horses, some were wearing iron armor, while others were only wearing loose leather robes and deerskin hats. There were belts tied tightly to the wide trousers around their waists, with bows and arrows hanging on both sides of the belts. Following the ups and downs of the horse's galloping, the bow bag and quiver kept colliding with the knight's legs. However, the lower body of the Qiang Hu cavalry sitting on the horse seemed to have grown on the horse's back, and his legs were firmly on the horse's back. He caught the horse's ribs and his body didn't waver at all.
Yan Xing, who was riding horseback among the army, cast his eyes on the elite Chinese cavalry passing by on both sides of the road. Although some Qiang and Hu cavalry were unkempt and their beards were messy, like a clump of grass, Yan Xing We all know that this cavalry, which does not look like much, is actually the elite that Dong Zhuo relies on to fight in the north and south. It is the leader among Dong's army of nearly ten thousand men. In terms of strength, it is even more powerful than the armored soldiers. The elite of the former army won by a few points.
Li Ru, Yan Xing and his party rushed from Lintao to Hedong. They traveled day and night under the stars and moon, but when they arrived at Dong Jun's camp in Puban, Hedong, it was already mid-June.
During this period, the situation in North Korea and China changed suddenly again. In April, Jian Shuo first discussed with Zhao Zhong, Guo Sheng and others how to deal with He Jin, the general in charge of the government. Instead, he was sold to He Jin by Zhao Zhong, Guo Sheng and other eunuchs, who wanted to avenge the previous murder. Qiu He Jin got hold of Jian Shuo's crime, and immediately ordered the Huangmen Order to arrest Xiao Huangmen Jian Shuo, execute him, and logically put all the newly formed Forbidden Army in Xiyuan under his command.
The eunuchs have never been monolithic, and it is normal for them to compete with each other for power. In the second year of Guanghe, Cao Jie and Wang Fu were fighting for power in the palace, so when Yang Qiu, then the captain of the Sili school, arrested and tortured Wang Fu, Cao Jie and other eunuchs watched indifferently until Wang Fu's body was exposed after his death. On Yang Street, Cao Jie, who was passing by, saw him. He wiped his tears in a coquettish manner and sighed: "We people can cannibalize each other, but how can we let Yang Qiu, an evil dog, lick Wang Fu's soup?" Cao Jie united with other eunuchs to fight against the enemy, and overthrew Yang Qiu's party, avenging Wang Fu.
In the first year of Zhongping, Taiping Taoism spread throughout the world and spread its teachings to all directions. Many dignitaries and nobles were followers of the teachings. Many of the eunuchs accepted bribes from Zhang Jiao and maintained close contacts with the people of Taiping Taoism. However, when Ma Yuanyi When Luoyang reported the incident in the Tang and Zhou Dynasties, other regular servants also distanced themselves from the eunuchs such as Feng Xu and Xu Feng who were dragged down by this incident.
Lu Qiang, the constant servant of the Central Committee, came to admonish the emperor to "punish the corrupt people on the left and right, grant amnesty to the party members, and find out if Jian Jishi and two thousand stones can do it." This was regarded by Zhang Rang, Zhao Zhong and others as a complete break with the eunuch camp, and they all expressed their opinions to the emperor. The emperor reported Lu Qiang's slander, forcing Lu Qiang to despair and had to commit suicide in anger at home.
Therefore, after seeing the new emperor ascending the throne, Jian Shuo had lost the most important reliance of the emperor's trust. Guo Sheng, who was from the same county as He Jin, did not hesitate to join forces with other eunuchs to sell Jian Shuo to He Jin. In exchange for the friendship of the popular cousin He's family.
In the next five months, He Jin joined hands with the three princes to report to the emperor, exposing the evidence of Empress Dowager Dong selling her official position, using public weapons for personal use, and amassing money to put into the private treasury of Xiyuan during the reign of the late emperor. He ordered Empress Dowager Dong to leave the capital of Luoyang, and also arrested the charges and sent troops. They surrounded the Hussars General's palace and prepared to arrest Dong Chong, removed him from his power, and forced Dong Zhong to commit suicide in the palace.
In June, Empress Dowager Dong, who had lost her power and family, fell seriously ill and passed away before she could leave Luoyang. After burying the posthumous Emperor Xiaoling, in July, He Jin also began to cooperate with the prince who had been stripped of all branches and leaves to rely on. He changed the title of King Bohai Liu Xie to King Chenliu, confirmed his status as king and minister, and prepared to let him He left the capital for his own country.
In the process of He Jin's group clearing out the old people left by the original Emperor Xiaoling in the court, almost every month there were personnel changes to varying degrees in the court, and the eunuchs also curbed their wings and stopped saying a word. He controlled the government as he did in the past, but allowed He Jin, who was in the outer court, to control the sky with one hand, and turned to the Empress Dowager He who had been trying to curry favor with the master of the inner palace.
AlthoughZhang Rang, Zhao Zhong and others, as well as He Jin, who was a trusted party member, did not have anything to deal with in the court, but they had a close relationship with the Queen Mother He who had many interactions with the eunuchs. At the same time, they also used the wealth they had accumulated over the years to He bribed He Jin's half-brother He Miao and his mother Wuyang Jun, who was a general of chariots and cavalry at the time and also in charge of part of the imperial army.
The eunuch's method of saving the country through twists and turns was indeed effective. The Queen Mother He and her young son took charge of the government for the first time. In addition to the two brothers He Jin and He Miao from her mother's clan, the only people she could rely on were the eunuchs who had lived with her in the palace for many years. At that time, Emperor Xiaoling was at odds with Empress Dowager He, who was still the empress. The emperor planned to depose the empress, but it was the eunuchs who advised him to dissuade him, and this disaster was avoided.
Therefore, the Empress Dowager He's feelings for the eunuchs around her were obviously much deeper than those of the party members and scholar-bureaucrats living outside the court. She continued to keep Zhang Rang, Zhao Zhong and other eunuchs in the palace, and clung to the Empress Dowager He's family. Many eunuchs of Xindashu also continued to use their power to extend their influence to He Miao and Wuyang Jun, trying to use them to exert political influence on He Jin, the powerful general who relied heavily on scholars, so as to achieve the new power. The eunuch camp with the declining favor of the foreign relatives and the eunuch camp reconciled at the court.
If the only opponents of the eunuchs in the court were his relatives, He Jin's family, then this method of showing weakness in front of others might succeed on He Jin. Unfortunately, there is also the new leader of the party, Yuan Shao, Yuan Shao in the court. Yuan Shao is young. He was a good knight-errant, and became running friends with Zhang Mengzhuo, He Boqiu, Wu Ziqing, Xu Ziyuan, Wu Yu and others. He used the influence of his four generations and three princes to run for the party members and plotted to destroy the powerful eunuch group.
The current good situation has never been seen since the defeat of Dou Wu and Chen Fan and the disaster of the party. How could Yuan Shao, who was determined to kill the eunuchs, just watch the general He Jin, a relative and political ally of the party, just like this? Stop and reconcile with Zhang Rang, Zhao Zhong and other eunuchs.
Yuan Shao immediately spoke to He Jin and used Dou Wu's story to warn He Jin and explain the dangers of eunuchs in the government. After hearing Yuan Shao's advice, He Jin immediately decided to continue to stand on the same front with the party members and eliminate the eunuchs who secretly threatened his status the most. To this end, he went to the palace to meet with the Queen Mother He and asked for the removal of the eunuchs from the palace. For the numerous eunuch positions, the outstanding ones were selected from among the three ministerial officials to be filled into the palace ban.
The Empress Dowager He, who was interested in retaining eunuchs in the palace, directly rejected He Jin's request. She made her attitude clear to her brother face to face.
"Zhongguan has been in charge of the forbidden provinces. From ancient times to the present, the story of the Han family cannot be abolished. Moreover, the late emperor has abandoned the world. How can I help Chu Chu and the scholars work together!"
Notes: 1. In the "Book of the Later Han¡€Biography of Cool Officials", Emperor Shun Yu was buried, and all the officials returned to mourn. When Cao Jie saw the corpse of Zou Fu, he burst into tears and said: "We, Cao, can eat each other, so why should we make them?" Did the dog lick the juice?" I asked all the regular attendants, and now we are all together, so don't go past the inner house.
