Chapter 427: Yuan Shao, Wang Yun

The emperor was young and the empress dowager was behind the curtain, but the empress dowager had to pass on the eunuchs in the inner court. He Jin and Yuan Wei wanted to kill all the eunuchs, and even did not hesitate to mobilize foreign troops to "clean the king" to threaten them. However, even in this situation, He did not agree to execute Zhang Rang, Zhao Zhong and others, but drove them out of the palace.

After leaving all the duties of the Ten Constables, it seems that it will be meaningless to kill them or not, but in fact it is not the case. He did not nod and killed people, and also expressed his attitude to protect the eunuchs in the inner court. Today, he drove away hundreds of eunuchs due to the forced force of civil and military officials of the outside court. It was a group of soldiers who "clear the king's side". After this difficult time, it is not impossible to create a "Ten Constables" tomorrow.

For Empress Dowager He, without the help of eunuchs, her curtains were just clay sculptures, and the empress dowager's rights were just decorations. Not only did she become a decoration, but her son Liu Bian was also a decoration. Starting from the general Dou Xian, several generations of powerful generals in the court and the eunuchs in the court have died in the hands of eunuchs in the court. The existence of eunuchs in the court has protected the existence of imperial power. Once the eunuchs are gone, the emperor will never want to use the hands of eunuchs to kill the general in the court and the court and the people again.

The power itself alone would not agree to He Jin. Yuan Wei's killing of all eunuchs was also involved in the poor finance that had plagued the court for one or two hundred years.

He Miao was right to worry. After Dong Zhuo took office, under the pressure of swords and weapons, the power was unimaginable, but so what? Didn’t he destroy more than a thousand wealthy families in Luoyang? Didn’t he still poach other people’s graves and plunder money? Didn’t he still mint countless small coins?

Dong Zhuo was forced to suppress it, and it would be good if he didn't increase the taxes a lot. Which family dared to give him an excuse to "evade taxes"? But even so, Dong Zhuo was not able to stabilize the bad financial crisis, let alone the butcher He Jin. Even if he became a real general, Luoyang would be in chaos in a year and a half!

Of course, even after Dong Hu listened to He Miao's words, he did not think it was a clever plan. At this time, the world was no longer the world that was a few years ago. After Liu Yan proposed the "Prince of the Prefecture" official, the provincial governor who held the power of the military and horses of a state would not allow eunuchs to sell official positions controlled by the provincial governor.

For Dong Hu, changing the bad finance is nothing more than the four words "increasing revenue and reducing expenditure". Although it is so simple, it is difficult to do it. If there is no extremely strong and unswerving emperor support behind it, it is almost a dream to change the bad imperial finance. Dong Zhuo, Cao Cao, Yuan Shao, Liu Bei, Sun Quan... cannot solve this problem from the root. In the process of fighting for hegemony, their economy seems to have recovered, but in fact, it is because too many people died and more land can be cultivated by the poor, rather than completely changing the "feudalization" system, nor does it change the current situation of the wealthy families holding a large amount of land and population.

These princes cannot change the status quo. How can He Jin, and what is the virtue of He Miao?

Dong Hu would not agree with He Miao's words. Using selling official positions to solve the lack of money will not only fail to turn the situation around, but will make the situation worse and worse. However, he is thousands of miles away and cannot know these things, and even if he knows, he will not pay attention to them. They will do whatever they want.

Although Empress Dowager He did not immediately arrest the Ten General Assesses or chopped their heads, she just deprived them of their duties and drove hundreds of eunuchs out of the palace, this was a major victory for the civil and military officials of the foreign court. Just add another fire and he would definitely kill all eunuchs in one fell swoop.

On the second day, He Jin indeed recommended a group of people in Chongde Hall, such as Yuan Shao as the Sili lieutenant, Wang Yun as the Yin of Henan, Yuan Shu as the General of the Hu Ben, Huan Dian as the Guardian of Pingjin, Ding Yuan, who set fire at the ferry, Zhu Jun as the Captain of the City Gate, and Yang Qi as the Guardian of the Secretariat...

Yuan Shao and Wang Yun were the Sili lieutenant and the Henan Yin. The two were considered as corruption by the Prime Minister and eunuchs. They tried their best to catch all the eunuchs in one place, and they were the leaders who were in charge of the overall situation.

With a great leader, we should also avoid the eunuchs from taking risks and resisting as much as possible, right? Yuan Shu, Huan Dian, Ding Yuan, Zhu Jun, and Yang Qi are the younger brothers who avoid eunuchs from biting in a hurry.

The inner palace gates, which were originally guarded by military officials, were all replaced by two hundred soldiers by the Hu Ben General Yuan Shu, who were appointed as the inner palace gates; the eunuchs were originally appointed as the hook and shield order, were Huan Dian, the commander of Pingjin Dushi; Yuan Shu and Huan Dian controlled all safety matters in the palace.

Ding Yuan had just set fire at the ferry and threatened Luoyang, and it was impossible to enter Luoyang for the time being, but he had transferred Zhang Yang to Luoyang before, and took Jinwu to take charge of the arsenal and patrolled the prison. Zhang Yang led a thousand soldiers into the city to patrol the streets.

Yuan Shu and Huan Dian controlled the palace, Zhang Yang ensured the safety of all neighbors in the city, Yang Qi, and Zhu Jun, the guard of the city gate, firmly controlled the twelve gates of Luoyang. The entire Luoyang city was controlled by Yuan Shu, Huan Dian, Zhang Yang, Yang Qi, and Zhu Jun from the inside. Even the inner palace responsibilities, which were supposed to be controlled by eunuchs, were firmly controlled by the outer court. In this case, Zhang Rang, Zhao Zhong and others wanted to resist, but they had no chance. Not to mention General He Jin, even after Dong Zhuo learned about the appointment of Chongde Hall, he sighed to the sky...

It's foolproof!

The civil and military officials of the foreign court were extremely satisfied and excited, and everyone saw hope, but just as Yuan Shao and Wang Yun were about to kill all the eunuchs with normal "law" methods, no one expected that the butcher He Jin hesitated and retreated again...

"Bang!"

"Butler..."

"It's not enough to conspire with it-"

Yuan Shao's anger controlled the palace, the arsenal, the streets in the city, and the twelve city gates. Isn't it just to kill all the eunuchs? When it comes to the most critical, the last step...

"He Jin is not trustworthy!"

Wang Yun's face was gloomy.

"At this time, if the eunuch party that harms the country and the people in one fell swoop, how do the scholars in the world view the court? How do you and me?"

Yuan Shao was filled with anger and had nowhere to vent his anger, so he kicked the small bitch over.

"How come Shao doesn't know that the eunuch party is harming the country and the people? But... but the butcher repeatedly refused to do so, what can he do?"

"Not what--"

...

"What can I do?"

"snort!"

"After things have come to this point, how can he allow He Jin to stop at any time? If he doesn't want to, let's push him again!"

Wang Yun spoke coldly, Yuan Shao was stunned, and he was silent...

"I want to take a step back..."

"snort!"

Yuan Shao was very disappointed with He Jin and said coldly: "No matter what, the eunuch party cannot continue to harm the country and the people. Shao will write letters to Ding Yuan, Dong Zhuo, and Qiao Mao today to ask them to continue to come to Luoyang to see how He Jin retreats!"

Wang Yun frowned and said, "The court has issued an order. Ding Yuan took office as Jinwu, so he had reason to lead troops to Luoyang, but Dong Zhuo is actually a tiger or wolf..."

"hehe……"

Yuan Shao chuckled disdainfully.

"Sir Zi, don't worry too much. Things have come to this point. Even if Dong Zhuo has the heart of a tiger or wolf, how could the court let the Dong family succeed?"

Yuan Shao was extremely confident. When Emperor Liu Hongbing passed away, Dong Zhuo had 20,000 troops and did not dare to move around. The victory and defeat of the internal and external court had been decided. How could the Dong family, who had only 5,000 cavalry, dared to lead troops to rebel?

Wang Yun opened his mouth, but when he thought of the 20,000 to 30,000 soldiers in the West Garden, he finally agreed with Yuan Shao's words, but when he thought of another thing, he frowned again.

"Ding Yuan's arson cannot allow the Empress Dowager to detain a group of eunuchs and defiled officials on the spot. Dong Zhuo, Ding Yuan, and Qiao Mao would go further... It is probably difficult for the Empress Dowager to agree. We still need to let the loyal people in the world report to punish the thief."

"What my teacher said is good, but you and I don't have enough prestige, so my uncle needs to agree."

Yuan Shao was just a junior. Before he could take control of Jizhou, his prestige could not command the governors and prefects of various prefectures.

With the support of eunuchs in the inner court, the He family's brothers and sisters were able to rise to prominence. After the Yellow Turban Army rebelled, He Jin broke through the shackles and became a general. However, this general was in name only. The He family also stood on the opposite side of eunuchs in the inner court. The two sides fought for power for several years. It was not until after the death of Emperor Liu Hong, that the two sides completely decided on the outcome.

If the power is evenly matched, in order to achieve the complete power of the general, He Jin would kill all the eunuchs without hesitation without hesitation. The victory or defeat has been decided, the eunuchs in the inner court have completely bowed their heads, and he has completely controlled both inside and outside Luoyang. Is it necessary to kill the eunuchs?

Dong Min sent the news about Chongde Hall and General's Mansion to Henan County. Dong Zhuo's old face was gloomy. For a thirty-year-old official in the officialdom, Yuan Shao and Wang Yun were nothing. A Sili lieutenant and Henan Yin were just tools to kill all eunuchs. Over the years, Liu Hong used the "party and imprisonment" to confiscate the house and exiled too many Qingliu Party members. He even didn't know how much money he had plundered and how many illegal things he had committed. Even if he was unyielding, he could easily use the criminal prison to kill all eunuchs.

Dong Zhuo didn't care much about Yuan Shao, but he attached great importance to Yuan Shu. Huan Dian controlled the palace, Zhang Yang controlled the public security in the city, Yang Qi, and Zhu Yan controlled the twelve gates of Luoyang. These people controlled the inside and outside of Luoyang. Even if Zhang Rang, Zhao Zhong, Duan Gui and others were anxious, they had no possibility of success.

Yuan Shu controlled the palace gates everywhere, and Huan Dian inspected the palace back and forth, and the two controlled the palace; Zhang Yang inspected between the palace and the outer city, avoiding a group of eunuchs colluding with each other and gathering servants to rebel; Yang Qi and Zhu Yan controlled the twelve gates of the outer city, avoiding the eunuchs outside Luoyang entering the city to support the rebellion.

With such strict control, Zhang Rang and others had no chance to rebel. They had become pigs and sheep waiting to be slaughtered. Not to mention Dong Zhuo, no one would think that Zhang Rang and others could kill He Jin when they saw this situation.

Can……

Dong Zhuo frowned, took out Dong Hu's letter from his arms again, and looked through it for a long time...

"well……"

Dong Zhuo sighed again in public.

"Every time at critical moments, Huwa will mess around with us! When can't you beat Han Sui? At this time, you must beat Han Sui away, Liangzhou is just the nothing he has to stare at all day?"
