69, edict
"The central government commands the ban on provinces. Since ancient times and present, the stories of the Han family cannot be abolished. Moreover, the late emperor has abandoned the world, so how can I deal with the scholars together?"
Empress Dowager He understood very clearly that the Langguan is an official in the palace, the eunuch is an official in the province, and the provincial government is the forbidden place for the harem where the emperor, empress, empress, and many concubines live. According to the Han story, these Langguans cannot be allowed to enter the palace, let alone let them replace the eunuchs and take charge of many matters in the harem.
During the former Han Dynasty, Wang Mang usurped the throne on behalf of the Han Dynasty and made great reforms. Therefore, at the beginning of the founding of this dynasty, there was a time when attendants like Shizhong, who were close to the emperor, who were close to the emperor and consultants could enter the palace ban. However, when Emperor Zhang of Han was in a state of affairs, this system that had already been omitted was changed because of one thing. At that time, the minister Guo Ju took advantage of the opportunity to enter the palace ban and had an affair with the concubine in Zhang's harem. Once, he was unfortunately caught by the emperor and was caught in an affair. Guo Ju was so angry that he raised his sword to assassinate the emperor. Fortunately, he was beheaded by the palace guards. For this reason, Emperor Zhang ordered that the foreign ministers be prohibited from entering the palace without an order. From then on, consultants like Shizhong, who were close to the emperor could no longer enter the palace province.
In the face of Empress Dowager He's opposition, He Jin was speechless. It was indeed a major event that was related to the safety of the harem when he replaced the eunuch in the jail. He had to consider it carefully and instead demanded the killing of several powerful and domineering eunuchs in the head.
Unfortunately, the eunuch who learned the news immediately immediately fanned the flames in the palace. Rumors about "the general only kills the left and right, and abusing power to weaken the country" began to spread. In addition, Empress Dowager He, He Miao, and Wuyang Jun opposed He Jin inside and outside the court, forcing He Jin to privately cancel the plan to kill the domineering eunuchs.
You should know that Wang Mang of the former Han Dynasty used his power to control the government to eliminate dissidents step by step, and continuously created momentum for himself to ascend the throne on behalf of the Han Dynasty. People's words are terrifying, so He Jin is so high in the temple, but he must also beware of the bone-cutting wounds of these rumors.
In addition, General He Jin had just taken control of the government and was somewhat afraid of the powerful eunuchs before. Although under the constant instigation of the party members led by Yuan Shao, he envied the reputation of getting rid of evil eunuchs among the people of the world, seeing the difficulties of killing eunuchs, he couldn't help but hesitate in his heart. He no longer made a quick decision like the initial one, so the killing of eunuchs was delayed and could not be decided for a long time.
The first wave of offensives launched by the party members and relatives against the eunuchs was gradually collapsed from the inside out by the deeply rooted eunuch group.
Faced with the reversal of the situation in the court, the general's attitude also wavered, and the party members showed signs of becoming inferior. Party leader Yuan Shao hurried to meet He Jin again, and He Jin made suggestions again, urging him to summon the powerful generals and heroes from all over the country, and let them lead their troops to the capital Luoyang, in order to threaten Empress Dowager He and open up the deadlock from the outside.
After He Jin failed to kill eunuchs for the first time, he also realized that if the eunuchs had not been uprooted at this time, it would inevitably become his own threat in the future. He quickly agreed with Yuan Shao's opinion and began to summon troops from all directions to gather troops from all directions in the name of killing eunuchs.
It was said that it was soldiers from all directions, but when He Jin summoned these foreign soldiers, he was still a little cautious and discussed with Yuan Shao and other party members and the general's aides. Although Zheng Tai, Chen Lin, Cao Cao and others clearly expressed their opposition to the foreign soldiers entering Beijing, Yuan Shao, who was urgently breaking the deadlock, could He Jin listen to such advice, so he quickly finalized the candidate to lead troops into Beijing.
So after the Dong army crossed the Xiyang Pavilion west of Luoyang City, he met Zhong Shao, a counselor who announced the edict to stop Dong army from advancing. After learning that Zhong Shao himself had arrived in person, Dong Zhuo immediately rushed to the front army to meet him. He suspected that there had been changes in the court, so he asked himself to stop advancing. So he turned his eyes and wanted the soldiers to hold Zhong Shao hostage. Unexpectedly, Zhong Shao immediately noticed Dong Zhuo's thoughts. He held the edict and scolded loudly. Dong Jun soldiers retreated one after another and did not dare to step forward. Dong Zhuo himself spoke speechlessly against the order. In addition, he was an old official of Zhong Song, so he could only let the front army retreat to Xiyang Pavilion, wait for the central army, and the rear army gathered together to discuss strategies for advancement and retreat.
