Chapter 376
Chapter 376
Luoyang, where the power grab had originally ended, was not as peaceful as it seemed.
Yuan Shao was online again.
Such a stable Luoyang was not in the interests of their Yuan family at all.
Only by creating chaos could they seize power in the turmoil.
This was the best opportunity for the Yuan family after four generations of three officials.
It must not be missed.
The reason why the Yuan family did not have the ability to fully control power.
There was still a lack of the highest decision-making power, that is, the power in the court.
However, Yuan Wei had already obtained the fact of co-assisting the government and participating in the affairs of the Shangshu in this struggle.
He was the second-in-command of the court after General He Jin.
And Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu also got what the Yuan family had been looking forward to in this change.
More military power!
It was also second to General He Jin, almost the second-in-command position.
Although there were a few competitors, it was harmless.
Everything was rushing towards the arrangement of the Yuan family.
It seems that as long as they kill the general He Jin, their Yuan family will have the opportunity to control the power.
But this killing is easy to say.
But it is not easy to do.
The struggle in the court is all carried out in secret.
Of course, it cannot be put in the open.
Yuan Shao stayed in the secret room of his mansion and thought of two people.
Twenty years ago, there was a failed example.
Dou Wu's party imprisonment.
But two hundred years ago, there was a successful example.
Wang Mang usurped the Han Dynasty.
Their Yuan family has obviously reached that street corner.
"Huh!"
Yuan Shao let out a long breath and slowly closed his eyes.
The arrow is on the string and must be shot!
He wants to touch the highest power!
Yuan Shao stabilized his emotions and left the mansion and went to the general's mansion.
He Jin, who controls all the power of the court, is in high spirits.
Every day he drinks with a group of court officials.
He drinks until he is drunk.
He is still nostalgic for various scripts.
Having a great time.
Thinking that this kind of life can continue for a long time.
General He Jin lost all his ambition.
Yuan Shao arrived and found He Jin having a feast again.
He asked his servants to inform him that he had something urgent to report.
General He Jin was having a great time drinking at the banquet.
He was overwhelmed by the flattery from the ministers.
But suddenly he heard the servants whispering in his ear.
He suddenly woke up and sobered up on the spot.
As his most trusted counselor, Yuan Shao's words had to be heard.
He Jin greeted the ministers in the room and hurried out.
In the secret room, the candlelight flickered.
General He Jin couldn't wait to ask as soon as he sat down: "What does Benchu know?"
"The general will die soon!" Yuan Shao frowned and said.
"Ah?!" He Jin's face collapsed on the spot.
"Why does Benchu say that?"
He Jin, who has been doing very well recently, couldn't find any clues after thinking about it.
Yuan Shao gave him time to think, and paused for a while before speaking in He Jin's puzzled eyes.
"I think the horse will stumble, so it must be paralyzed first."
"What's the meaning of those ministers drinking with the general every day?"
"This..." He Jin scratched his head.
He has heard too much flattery recently.
Yuan Shao's silent slap woke him up.
"It's indeed much more comfortable recently."
"Could those ministers have ulterior motives?"
After careful thinking, the ministers were circling around him, telling him all kinds of nice words and flattery.
There was no useful advice at all.
He Jin was alert.
Yuan Shao was still capable.
He reminded him just in time before he became arrogant.
That's why he didn't do anything reckless because he was confused.
"General, are you thinking again? It's not too late now. It's nothing serious." Yuan Shao frowned and said.
He Jin was speechless.
Yuan Shao lowered his voice and said, "How can Zhang Rang's matter be so easy to get over?"
"The Ten Eunuchs are one body, and everyone in the world knows it."
"The general can only rely on the emperor in the palace."
"But can the general be with the emperor every moment?"
He Jin frowned and thought as Yuan Shao told him.
Yuan Shao continued, "But those eunuchs are with the emperor every day."
"If the emperor has any accidents..."
Yuan Shao's voice stopped abruptly, just right.
"Hiss!" He Jin gasped.
When the previous emperor Liu Hong was in power, the first few princes couldn't be kept.
I don't know why they died.
Things in the palace are unclear.
No matter who thinks, there must be hidden secrets.
What Yuan Shao said makes sense!
If those damned eunuchs secretly attacked the emperor and then supported the young emperor, wouldn't their relatives be...
The more He Jin thought about it, the more disappointed he felt..
His face gradually became sinister as he thought.
He must not give up his current position.
If there is a choice, it is okay to kill anyone.
As long as he is not dead.
Yuan Shao secretly observed and felt relieved.
"Benchu said what should we do now?" He Jin asked in a deep voice.
"Make a prompt decision and deal with Zhang Rang." Yuan Shao's voice was as thin as a mosquito.
He did not pull He Jin's hatred value to all eunuchs, and things had to be done step by step.
He Jin nodded slightly.
He was about to order Yuan Shao to send someone to execute it.
But he found someone coming to deliver a letter.
A secret letter from the palace.
He Jin quickly opened it to check.
The letter came from Zhao Zhong.
It contained two pages.
One was a secret letter from Zhang Rang to Zhao Zhong, and the other was a letter from Zhao Zhong to He Jin.
He Jin's heart trembled as he read it at a glance.
Now I am conspiring with the party members of the world to kill the former emperor and wipe out Cao.
The words in Zhang Rang's letter directly provoked the relationship between the relatives and eunuchs.
It made him grit his teeth.
Another secret letter from Zhao Zhong tells the relationship between the relatives and eunuchs.
Betray Zhang Rang in exchange for trust between the two parties.
Yuan Shao took the letter and glanced at it and remained silent.
Now he doesn't need to say anything, Zhang Rang will definitely die.
Moreover, he has used these two secret letters to arrange a back-up.
Everything is under his control.
...
Zhang Rang was assassinated!
The news spread in Luoyang.
Let Luoyang, which was originally calm, fall into the haze of the storm again.
After thinking about the cause and effect, the princes and ministers realized the reason why Zhang Rang must die.
However, they also understood that the relatives and eunuchs would be in collusion afterwards.
Control the emperor and control the government.
There won't be any more major incidents.
However, Luoyang did not settle down immediately.
He Jin turned his attention to the Dong family.
Empress Dowager Dong and He Jin's sister, Empress He, had always had a very bad relationship.
And the Dong family was the backer of Liu Xie, a potential threat.
Naturally, the Dong family had to be attacked.
And the two families were both foreign relatives.
There can't be two tigers in one mountain.
He Jin joined the three officials to impeach the Dong family.
Various charges were imposed on them and they were ordered to return to their fiefdoms.
Every few days, Dong Chong committed suicide.
Empress Dowager Dong died of unknown reasons.
The Dong family was completely eradicated in He Jin's thundering momentum.
He Jin quickly completed the integration of the last part of power in Luoyang.
He monopolized the government.
For a time, he was the most popular.
