Chapter 260 The emperor dies, plotting to execute the eunuch(1/2)

"Yuan Shu was promoted by our family and was our confidant.

As long as Yuan Shu's troops entered Beijing, they would control the capital.

This man, we have the final say!"

Zhang Rang's words made the Ten Changshu's emotional stability much.

Zhao Zhong asked again:

"But now the army in Luoyang is in control of the butcher He Jin. Will he let us recruit Shenwei Hou safely?"

Zhang Rang looked ruthless and laughed:

"He Jin is just a reckless man, as long as we wait to hold him back.

When the Shenwei Hou entered the capital, wouldn’t he let us take care of it?

For the sake of this, we should just keep the emperor for a while and with He Jin's indecisive personality, we will naturally not dare to act rashly."

Just when the Ten Generals thought they were ready, a little eunuch ran in panic:

"Dear ancestors, it's not good, the emperor has passed away!

After the emperor passed away, all the messengers sent by Empress Dong to Yangzhou were arrested by He Jin.

Now the army under He Jin has controlled all Luoyang City!"

"What?!"

Zhang Rang, who had a calm expression on his face just now, couldn't even stand.

He shouted at the eunuch with a sharp voice:

"You say it again?"

The little eunuch repeated tremblingly:

"Old ancestor...

His Majesty passed away... He Jin sent troops to control Luoyang City."

Zhang Rang's face turned pale and sat down as if he had lost his strength.

He waved weakly:

"Drag it down, let's die..."

Two guards at the door, like wolves and tigers, immediately stepped forward and dragged the eunuch away.

The little eunuch was so scared that he cried wildly:

"Old ancestor, I am not guilty, my ancestor!

Ancestor, please spare your life!"

Zhang Rang sat there motionless as if he was deaf, not caring about the little eunuch's shouts.

In an instant, the screams of the little eunuch came from outside the door.

Gradually, the screams became less and less until they disappeared completely.

Zhang Rang was a little relieved at this time and said to the attendants:

"Tell me, now I am a fisherman, what should we do?"

The other attendants cursed in their hearts, who said just now, we should be calm as attendants. Now we will count you and let the most panic.

Although Jian Shuo was an eunuch, he was quite brave. He was the captain of Shangjun when Emperor Ling reborn, and he controlled some of the imperial guards in his hands.

He snorted coldly and stepped forward and said:

“What else can I do?

The soldiers come to block the water and the soil!

Now that the matter is over, I can only use Your Majesty’s will to deceive the Butcher He into the palace and kill him!”

Duan Gui was startled and said in surprise:

“This...no.

If things fail, will we not die without a place to bury?"

The attendants argued endlessly, and finally Zhang Rang made a decision:

"Stop quarreling, just do what Jian Shuo said!"

General He Jin had many ears and eyes, and Jian Shuo's attempt to kill He Jin quickly preached He Jin.

He will hurry up and anxious his gangsters to go to the general's house to discuss matters.

He Jin said in a muffled voice, with a big belly:

"The emperor passed away. Before I could find trouble for these eunuchs, I didn't expect that they would actually murder me first!

Someone has decided to enter the palace tomorrow and kill all these eunuchs!"

Cao Cao, who was sitting below, frowned when he heard this, and stepped out and bowed to He Jin:

"General, no!

Although eunuchs are hateful, their power should not be underestimated.

In my opinion, I should slowly take it."

Seeing that Cao Cao was young, He Jin didn't take him seriously at all and shouted:

"I am talking to you about major affairs in the court. What do you, a junior, know?

Go back!"

Cao Cao stepped back in depressedly, obviously dissatisfied with He Jin.

At this time, the private captain Yuan Shao stepped forward and volunteered:

"General, Shao is willing to raise five thousand soldiers and enter the palace to kill eunuchs and treacherous slander!

The new king is appointed to rule with justice!”

He Jin was overjoyed when he heard this and said:

"See, I am the loyal and kind man of my great man!

Now, I will join you five thousand imperial guards to enter the palace to kill the eunuchs!"

Yuan Shao said as if he was offering treasures:

"In order to prevent changes in Luoyang, we can also summon Liangzhou's governor Dong Zhuo to Beijing to serve the king!"

Dong Zhuo had worked with Yuan Shao before, and the two of them jointly ambushed Yuan Shu in Luoyang City.

It’s a pity that the cooperation not only failed, but also caused Dong Zhuo to suffer a lot.

I don’t know how he and his squads fled back to Liangzhou.

Seeing that Yuan Shao was going to call Dong Zhuo, Cao Cao didn't care about He Jin's scolding him just now, and quickly dissuaded:

"General, if you summon foreign ministers to the capital, Luoyang will be in chaos!

Don’t believe Yuan Benchu’s words!”

He Jin had a bad impression of Cao Cao, and said with a calm face:

"Now Jian Shuo also has an imperial guard in his hands. If you don't call people to serve the king, will you fight with them?"

Cao Cao pondered:

"If you have to let foreign ministers enter the capital, you can summon the Shenwei Marquis Yuan Shu into the capital.

This will definitely assist the emperor in stabilizing the Han Dynasty.”

It would be fine if Cao Cao didn't mention Yuan Shu, but when he mentioned Yuan Shu, He Jin felt sick.

Originally, he had no grudge against Yuan Shu, but wanted to take the initiative because Yuan Shu attended his son's wedding banquet and gave him a generous gift. He Jin also thought Yuan Shu was a very sensible junior.

However, since the emperor had the will to let Yuan Shu be the assistant minister, He Jin regarded Yuan Shu as a thorn in his eyes and wanted to get rid of it quickly.

If Yuan Shu brought elite soldiers and powerful generals to Beijing and took control of Luoyang, then how should he deal with his own general He Jin?

I think it’s more reliable to Xiliang Dong Zhuo.

He had met Dong Zhuo, and he had visited He Jin's mansion in Luoyang before.

This man looked silly and was very humble and polite to He Jin, which left a good impression on He Jin.

I believe this person will be easier to control after entering Beijing.

He Jin was about to refute Cao Cao, but Yuan Shao spoke first.

He scolded Cao Cao:

"Cao Mengde, what we are discussing now is the matter of the country!

Is it because you have a good relationship with Yuan Shu that you have to summon him to Luoyang?
