Dong Zhuo, the secretariat of Xiliang, had long been ambitious. He is very happy to see this imperial edict, and will take people to Beijing soon.
It turned out that when he wiped out the yellow turban insurrectionary army, he had no credit at all. The court wants to punish him because he bribed 10 official waiters.
Then he fawned on his superiors, and later he was promoted to the top spot of Xizhou's 200 thousand army, and he always had the heart of rebellion.
At this moment, I had this imperial edict, which was exactly what he wanted. He asked his son-in-law Niu Fu to guard Shaanxi, and he led the troops to Luoyang with Li Jue, Guo Si, Fan Chou and others.
Counselor Marotta said, "Although there are imperial edicts now, it doesn't seem good for us to rush into Beijing. Why don't we send someone to show the emperor and go to Beijing in a justified way, so that our great event can be successful! "
Dong Zhuo listened to his words, did as he said, and wrote to the emperor. I heard that the chaos in the world was caused by Zhang Rang and others. It is better to stop boiling than to stop boiling. Although picking out the poisonous sore will hurt, it is better than not picking it, so I ask the emperor to allow me to go to Beijing to get rid of it.
Zheng Tai said, "Dong Zhuo is like a jackal. If he comes to Beijing, he will definitely eat people. "
He Jin said, "You are so suspicious, how can you achieve great things?"
Lu Zhi also persuaded He Jin: "I know Dong Zhuo's character. He is kind and cruel. Once he comes, it will definitely bring disaster. It is better not to let them come now! "
How to listen to the blade? Nearly half of the ministers, including Zheng Taihe and Lu Zhi, gave up their posts and went home.
Blades sent someone to Mianchi to meet Dong Zhuo, but Dong Zhuo stayed put.
Zhang Rang and others knew that Dong Zhuo was coming with troops, and they discussed, "This is blades' plan. If we don't start first, we will all be wiped out! "
Later, Zhang Rang ambushed fifty swordsmen to guard the gate of Changle Palace. Then he went into the palace and said to the queen mother, "Today the general told Dong Zhuo to come to Luoyang to kill us. Please help us! "
The queen mother said, "You should go to the general's office and apologize!"
Zhang Rang said, "If we go to the general's office now, he will definitely cut us to pieces. I hope the queen will let the general enter the palace and you will stop him. If he doesn't come, we can only die in front of the empress! "
So the Queen Mother ordered blades to enter the palace.
Blades received orders to go to the palace. Chen Lin said, "It must be the plan of ten regular attendants for the Queen Mother to let the general enter the palace. Don't go, there will be disaster! "
He Jin said, "What will happen if the Queen Mother calls me?"
Yuan Shao said, "Now that my strategy has been revealed, how can the general enter the palace?"
Cao Cao said, "When a general enters the palace, he should give ten attendants first."
He Jin said with a smile, "This is really a child's opinion. I am in charge of the world. How dare those ten waiters treat me? "
Yuan Shao said, "If you must go, I will take my troops with me, just in case."
So Yuan Shao and Cao Cao each chose 500 chosen men, and Yuan Shu, Yuan Shao's younger brother, took them into the palace.
Yuan Shao and Cao Cao escorted He Jin to Changle Palace with swords. The guard said, "The Queen Mother ordered that only generals can enter, and no one else can."
