Three Kingdoms: I will return it ten thousand times, my lord, I will never keep it for myself

Inside the general's residence.

Since the sudden disturbance that night, General He Jin felt that the world was unpredictable, so he secretly made up his mind to greatly expand the size of the imperial guards. Now there are more than 2,000 armored soldiers in the residence, guarding the center of power day and night.

"Enter the palace to meet the emperor?" He Jin frowned slightly, his eyes slowly swept across the faces of the generals present, with a bit of confusion and hesitation in his tone. The current emperor is his nephew who is connected by blood; and the queen mother is his sister who is connected by flesh and blood. In addition, his younger brother holds the power of the imperial guards. The power of the He family is unmatched in the court and the country, just like the sun at its peak.

Just as He Jin was about to stand up and answer the call, Yuan Shao stepped forward at the right time: "Wait a minute, General. Dong Zhuo has led his army and is rushing here. His intention is unpredictable. If you enter the palace now, there may be changes."

"I am afraid that the Ten Eunuchs have already known the news. It is possible that both sides will be in trouble."

"General, you must be cautious on this trip and take every step carefully!" Although Yuan Shao occasionally showed some flaws in the overall planning, his talent and wisdom were also top-notch in the Eastern Han Dynasty.

At the beginning, when the new monarch was supported, it was supposed to be a time to cut the grass and root out the Ten Eunuchs, but because of He Jin's kindness, the jackals were not eliminated and the disaster has continued to this day. The Ten Eunuchs, like ghosts in the dark night, still entrenched in the inner court and controlled the government, which is a pity.

Now, the general stepped into the magnificent palace alone, which was tantamount to stepping into a dragon's den and a tiger's lair. Every step must be treading on thin ice. If you are not careful, you will be doomed.

Imagine that once Dong Zhuo's iron hoof steps into Luoyang, there will be a bloody storm, and the great purge will be unstoppable. At that time, the undercurrent between the General's Mansion and the Ten Eunuchs will eventually turn into swords and shadows on the surface, and a contest of life and death will be about to begin.

"If the general must enter the palace, then all the Ten Eunuchs must be taken out of the palace, imprisoned, and then escorted by the palace soldiers in person, so that there will be no mistakes."

Cao Cao also proposed another plan at this time.

He Jin was originally a person without his own opinion, and all of a sudden, he was once again entangled.

If He Jin could listen to the opinions of either of the two at this time, his fate would be rewritten, the wheel of history would change, and he would avoid this fatal disaster.

However, at this critical moment, Yuan Shu on the side seemed to have another plan in his mind.

He has always wanted to get rid of Yuan Shao's shadow, so the more turbid the water in Luoyang, the easier it would be for him to get benefits.

"Haha, General, don't be too modest. You have already controlled the army in Luoyang, and all the ministers in the court look up to you and obey your orders."

"What's the point of mentioning the Ten Eunuchs? Look, Queen Mother He sits firmly on the throne, and her majesty is evident in the deep palace; and your brother is the commander of the Imperial Guards. The Ten Eunuchs have only empty titles and no soldiers to rely on. If they dare to act rashly, the cavalry outside the city only needs one order to make them disappear into ashes and ruin their reputation!"

"Hahaha, what Yuan Gonglu said is exactly what I want! Benchu, Mengde, you two are too cautious. No problem, quickly prepare the carriage and horses, I will set off immediately and enter the palace!"

He Jin patted the long table and then stood up.

Cao Cao looked at He Jin who was still determined to leave, and suddenly remembered what Liu Yao had said to him before.

He asked him to get away from He Jin as soon as possible, saying that He Jin would die at the hands of eunuchs sooner or later.

Cao Cao and Yuan Shao had no choice but to select 500 elite soldiers each, divided into front and rear guards, to escort the general into the palace, while Yuan Shu sat in the general's mansion, ready to respond at any time.

In this way, the luxurious guard team began to march towards the palace, and all officials at all levels who met along the way retreated to avoid it.

He Jin stood on the carriage, arrogant, while Cao Cao and Yuan Shao had no time to think about it at all. As the saying goes, it is easy to fall hard when you climb high, which is what countless ancient people have learned through bloody prices.

When everyone came to the front of the Vermillion Bird Gate, several eunuchs of the Ten Attendants came over with a flattering face.

"According to the Queen Mother's order, we are waiting for the general again."

The eunuchs of the Ten Attendants said, and they personally stepped forward to help He Jin get off the car.

At this time, the inside and outside of the palace still looked normal, and everything was in order.

Cao Cao always felt something was wrong when he looked at the surrounding environment.

"Who is in the palace today? Is there anything unusual in the palace?"

The eunuch next to him showed a hint of surprise, but he quickly suppressed it.

"General Cao, the Queen Mother is waiting for the general in the harem, and General He Miao is also waiting in the palace."

At this time, he was very excited and his palms were sweating.

He was also shocked by Cao Cao's sudden question today.

"Hahaha, Meng De, you are a little too worried. There is no life in the palace.Nothing, very quiet, how could there be anything unusual? "

He Jin patted Cao Cao's shoulder and prepared to follow the eunuch to enter the palace.

At this time, Yuan Shao also walked to Cao Cao's side.

"Meng De, are you thinking too much?"

Cao Cao shook his head.

"I always feel that something is wrong today."

Just when the two were about to follow He Jin to enter the palace.

The eunuch stopped them.

"Generals, the Queen Mother heard that the general was busy with state affairs recently, so she arranged a family dinner to entertain the general."

"I hope you two don't break the rules."

"You are so presumptuous! !"

Cao Cao was about to draw his sword when he heard this, but was stopped by He Jin.

"Hey, Meng De, since the Queen Mother is inviting me to a banquet alone, you can wait for me here for a while. "

Just like that, Cao Cao and Yuan Shao watched He Jin enter the palace.

...

The two had been waiting at the door for nearly an hour, but the gate of the palace was still closed.

At this time, even Yuan Shao found something wrong, and hurriedly asked his soldiers to notify Yuan Shu to lead his troops to come. In case of any accidents, they also had troops on hand to send troops at any time.

Cao Cao stared at the towering palace, and his heart could not help but ripple, and an indescribable complex emotion quietly spread. The palace is a symbol of power and the dignity of the Han Dynasty. If you rashly set foot in it, it is tantamount to challenging the majesty of the emperor and the bottom line of the court.

Just as he was hesitating in his heart and hesitating about the next move, Yuan Shu had led his army and approached the solemn palace gate like a tide.

Suddenly, behind the palace wall, a thrilling The sound of breaking wind broke the silence, accompanied by an ominous breath, and a bloody head, like an abandoned chess piece, smashed fiercely into the noisy crowd, causing a scream of fear and chaos.

Cao Cao, Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu quickly exchanged a shocked look, and then leaned over to check at the same time.

What came into view was the familiar yet unfamiliar face of General He Jin. His eyes were wide open, and his pupils were frozen with endless astonishment and unwillingness, as if at the moment before his death, he was still telling the ruthless accusation of fate and the deep regret for past choices.

This scene, like a cold blade, pierced people's hearts, making the whole scene heavy and depressing in an instant.

It's really unpredictable!

He was still a high-ranking official the moment before, and his head and body were separated the next moment. All the power and money disappeared in an instant.
