He Jin's view that the King of Liaodong was difficult to control also won the approval of some people.

Since Liu Feng couldn't do it, He Jin asked his subordinates who could take on the important task of entering the palace as King Qin.

At this time, Yuan Shao spoke again:"Dong Zhuo, the governor of Hedong, participated in the battles to quell the rebellion many times, and made great contributions in the Yellow Turban Uprising and the Liangzhou Rebellion.

This is enough to prove his loyalty to the court.

In addition, he was also born in the army, and his subordinates The strength of the army is extraordinary, and Hedong is very close to Luoyang, so Shao believes that Dong Zhuo is the best candidate."

He Jin listened to Yuan Shao's words, thought for a moment and nodded in agreement.

At this time, He Jin's chief secretary Chen Lin dissuaded her:"There is a proverb among the people, which is 'Catch sparrows with your eyes closed - catch them randomly'.

For such small things, you cannot use fraudulent means to achieve your goals, let alone important national affairs." , how can it be done by deception?

Now the general has the royal prestige, holds the military power, and can do whatever he wants.

Dealing with eunuchs in this way is like burning hair with a furnace fire. As long as you activate it, you will make a decisive decision with the power of thunder. By giving orders, it is easy to achieve your goal by following the will of God and the will of the people. However, now you have given up your authority and solicited foreign aid.

When armies from all over the country gather, the powerful will rule the roost. Doing so is what is called turning weapons upside down. And handing the control to others will definitely not succeed and will only cause chaos."

However, He Jin did not listen to Chen Lin's dissuasion.

While they were talking, Cao Cao, the captain of the Dian Army, also flashed out from the side, clapped his hands and laughed.

When He Jin saw this, he asked Cao Cao why he was laughing. Cao Cao smiled and said,"There should be eunuchs serving in the palace in ancient and modern times. It's just that the king should not give them power and favor to make them develop to this level.

Since they want to punish them, The chief culprit should be eliminated, and only one jailer is enough.

Why rush to recruit troops from all over the country!

If we want to catch them all, the matter will inevitably be leaked, and I will see the failure of this matter."

He Jin was very angry when he heard this. , scolded Cao Cao:"This matter is of great importance. Before we started taking action, Meng De bluntly said that it would be leaked and failed. What are your intentions? Could it be that Meng De was worried that Dong Zhuo would be punished if he got rid of Zhang Rang and other eunuchs? Has the general's trust affected your future?"

When Cao Cao saw that He Jin was so stubborn and would not listen to dissuasion, but also said such heart-wrenching words, Cao Cao withdrew and sighed and said:"Who must be the one who is messing up the world? Come in!"

Then Zheng Tai, the imperial censor, also advised:"Dong Zhuo is a tough man, not benevolent and righteous, and greedy.

If the court relies on his support and grants military power, he will do whatever he wants, which will definitely threaten the security of the court. General, as a relative of the emperor, you have the power of the country. You can act arbitrarily according to your original intention and punish those criminals. You really should not rely on Dong Zhuo as a foreign aid!

Moreover, things will change if they are delayed for too long, so you should make a decision quickly."

Shangshu Lu Zhi also said. :"I had contact with Dong Zhuo during the Yellow Turban Rebellion.

This man was very ambitious and arbitrary, and he was indeed greedy. If he were to lead troops into the palace to serve the king, I'm afraid it would really lead to an irreversible situation."

However. Even with the persuasion of so many people, He Jin still stubbornly insisted on letting Dong Zhuo lead his troops to Luoyang.

After everyone left, Yuan Shao sent someone to send a message to Dong Zhuo on behalf of He Jin, ordering him to enter the palace to serve the king.

Dong Zhuo received He Jin's order to summon him to Beijing and immediately set off on the road.

At the same time, he asked Li Ru to send someone to send a letter to the court, saying that the purpose of sending troops this time was to punish the eunuchs and stop the rebellion, so that the ministers of the court would not doubt him.

So Li Ru wrote in the name of Dong Zhuo:"Zhongchang Shi Zhang Rang and others took advantage of the emperor's favor to disturb the world.

I once heard that it is better to pump the soup to stop the boil than to draw the fuel from the bottom of the cauldron. Although the sores and carbuncles are painful, they are better. It corrodes the internal organs.

In the past, Zhao Yang led the army of Jinyang to clear out the evildoers around the king. Now I am ringing the bells and drums to come to Luoyang and request the arrest of Zhang Rang and others to clear out the evildoers!"

After receiving Dong Zhuo's edict, , Yuan Shao was afraid that He Jin would change his mind, so he threatened him:"Today, the contradiction has formed, and the signs of our actions have been revealed. What else does the general want to wait for, instead of making a decision early?

Things will change if they are delayed for too long, and Zhang Rang will After they react, it will be difficult to get rid of them."

He Jin heard this and knew that time was running out, so he immediately gave Yuan Shao the power to arrest or execute criminals without asking for instructions.

Later, he appointed Wang Yun, a middle-ranking minister, as Henan Yin.

Yuan Shao ordered his military officials, Fang Lue, to investigate the movements of the eunuchs, and urged Dong Zhuo and others to send emissaries to urgently submit a memorial, claiming in the memorial that they would march to Pingtan.

At this time, Zhang Rang and others had also learned that He Jin had dispatched Dong Zhuo to lead an army of 200,000 to Luoyang, and they instantly understood that He Jin wanted to use Dong Zhuo's help to get rid of him.

Upon hearing the news, all the ten permanent attendants were frightened and at a loss, so they had to run to Queen Mother He to cry and plead for mercy.

Although the Queen Mother He was He Jin's sister, she was supposed to be in the same camp as He Jin against Zhang Rang and other ten regular attendants. However, the Queen Mother He's mother Wuyang Jun and her younger brother He Miao accepted bribes from eunuchs many times and often acted in He Jin's camp. Speak well of them in front of the Queen Mother.

So in the face of Zhang Rang and others' cries, Queen Mother He immediately promised to save their lives.

However, all the ten ministers knew that the conflict between He Jin and themselves could not be resolved by Queen Mother He with just one sentence, so they showed disbelief in Queen Mother He's promise.

Zhang Rang took the lead and said:"Queen Mother, you are magnanimous, and we naturally believe it.

It's just that the General has had a long-standing grudge against us. We are worried that he will not spare us, so we invite the Queen Mother to announce that the General will enter the palace and promise not to kill us. I Only then can I rest assured."

Empress Dowager He was a prostitute and had no scheming intentions, so she agreed.

After receiving the edict from Empress Dowager He, He Jin wanted to enter the palace to see what was going on. However, Yuan Shao, Cao Cao and others dissuaded him and said:"This is a critical moment to kill the eunuchs. The general must not take it lightly.

Besides, Dong Zhuo's memorial It has been spread to the court, and the eunuchs will inevitably take self-rescue measures.

If the Queen Mother's edict is a conspiracy by the eunuchs, then the general will be in danger if he goes there at this time, so he must not go."

However, He Jin He said:"The Queen Mother and this general have been brothers and sisters for so many years, and they have a deep love for each other. It is impossible for her to collude with those thieves to harm me."

After saying this, He Jin ignored the dissuasion and entered the palace overnight.

Not long after, news of He Jin's death came out.
