Chapter 196 The Empress Dowager Was Banned From Yongle Palace

A few days later, General He Jin finally dared to go to court.

General He Jin and Grand Tutor Yuan Wei jointly recorded the affairs of Shangshu, and took control of the personnel affairs of the Han Dynasty. He Jin's power was further enhanced. A large number of scholars who followed He Jin thought that the time was ripe for killing the eunuchs, so they all made suggestions, asking He Jin to order all the eunuchs in the palace to be killed.

Yuan Shao, who was afraid that the world would not be in chaos, was more active than anyone else in killing eunuchs. Although he was born in the Yuan family of four generations, he was only a concubine, thinking that killing eunuchs could only help him gain more benefits. Yuan Shao found that he had talked so many times that the general He Jin could not make up his mind, so he sent He Jin's disciple Zhang Jin to persuade He Jin.

Zhang Jin said to He Jin: "Benchu ​​told me that the Huangmen Changshou had been in power for a long time and he was devoted to adultery and profit. The general should select virtuous talents, rectify the world, and eliminate harm to the country."

After so many brainwashings from Yuan Shao and others and controlling the human rights, He Jin's determination to kill the eunuchs was finally firm.

Yuan's family was favored by many generations and was supported by scholars in the country. Yuan Zhao was good at raising scholars, and all the heroes were willing to be used by him. Yuan Shao's cousin, the general of the Hu Ben, Yuan Shu, was arrogant and handsome, and was in charge of the Hu Ben Yulin Army and was extremely powerful. Yuan Shao admired the Yuan family in his heart and yearned for his family to be as prosperous as the Yuan family in the future and become noble in his lifetime.

He Jin secretly began to plan to kill eunuchs with Yuan Shao and others.

Although the actions of General He Jin were extremely secret, they still made Qian Shuo and others notice it. Jian Shuo was suspicious and wrote a letter to the Central General Zhao Zhong and others, saying: "The generals' brothers are in power and are planning to kill the late emperors and are close to the people of the world. They want to destroy us. But because I am in command of the injunction, He Jin is temporarily hesitant and dare not take action. Once they find a chance, we will stop! We should jointly close the Shang Pavilion and arrest He Jin and kill the brothers."

Qian Shuo made a huge mistake and shouldn't have written a letter! He couldn't find the opportunity to talk to Zhao Zhong in person, so he wouldn't say it for the time being. Only by talking to him in person can he ensure that what he said is not leaked!

Another of the Changshi's surname, Guo Mingsheng, was from Nanyang, and was a fellow villager of He Jin. Empress Dowager He and He Jin were honored by Emperor Ling of Han. Guo Sheng made great efforts and helped a lot. He Jin and his sister gave him no less benefits, so Guo Sheng had a lot of feelings for He Jin and sister. After receiving Qian Shuo's letter, Zhao Zhong consulted Guo Sheng. Guo Sheng tried his best to oppose Qian Shuo's plan and suggested that Zhao Zhong handed Jian Shuo's letter to He Jin in order to please He Jin.

He Jin received the letter from Qian Shuo sent by Zhao Zhong, and almost burst into anger. Under the instigation of Yuan Shao and others, he immediately sent Huangmen Order to lead troops to arrest Qian Shuo and kill Qian Shuo. Then he personally led the military camp and annexed the team controlled by Qian Shuo.

Although Empress Dowager Dong received great attention after Qian Shuo was killed, she still ignored He Jin's power.

When Empress Dowager Dong and Empress Dowager He quarreled, they said excessive harsh words, resulting in extremely serious consequences.

Empress Dowager Dong said to Empress Dowager He: "You are arrogant now, relying on your brother He Jin! If I order General Dong Chong, the cavalry, to chop off He Jin's head, it will be a simple task!"

Empress Dowager He had a big quarrel with Empress Dowager Dong at that time, and the two almost started a fight. Afterwards, Empress Dowager He sent someone to tell He Jin: "Although his father and brother control the soldiers of the world, his sister was in the forbidden province, he lived like a year after being forced by Empress Dowager Dong. Do father and brother bear to watch his sister suffer?"

After hearing this, He Jin was furious.

On the fourth day of the fifth month of the sixth year of Zhongping, He Jin joined forces with the third duke and his younger brother, He Miao, General of Cheqi, and said: "Empress Dowager Dong instructed the former Zhongchang Shi Xia Yun, the Yongle Taifu Feng Xi and others to collude with the state and county officials to monopolize the treasures and goods from all over the country, and send them all to the Yongle Palace. According to past practice, the queen of the vassal state could not be kept in the capital, please move her back to Hejian State."

After receiving this memorial, Empress Dowager He seized the jade seal from Empress Dowager Dong, approved the memorials of He Jin and others, and put Empress Dowager Dong under house arrest in Yongle Palace. From then on, he monopolized the dictatorship.

He Jin's move was extremely vicious, so he naturally received guidance from an expert. He hit the Empress Dowager Dong's life gate with one blow and took her down in one fell swoop.

On the sixth day of the fifth month of the sixth year of Zhongping, Empress Dowager He refused to do anything and ordered General He Jin to send troops to surround the General's Mansion in the name of the emperor, arrested Dong Chong, and removed him from his post. Dong Chong saw that the major incident had gone, so he committed suicide.

Dong Chong was like a little bug in front of He Jin. He Jin killed him as soon as he made a move.

When this series of events occurred in Luoyang, Zhang Yu was enjoying the bliss of life together with Juyan and Kang Ling.

Zhang Yu invited officials of the Qiang Duwei Mansion to briefly handle the marriage of Kang Ling as his concubine at Juyan.

Kang Ling is not simple. It is not just Kangju’s maki, but also Kangju’s kingdom princess. She is extremely beautiful. Any man will be fascinated by just one glance. After Kang Ling was appointed as the commander of the Qiang Guard, she still wears men’s clothes and masks to prevent unnecessary trouble from being seen by other men.

Zhang Yu likes to perform the rituals of Duke Zhou with Kang Ling very much, and wishes he could be together forever with her.

When such a big change occurred in Luoyang, he had not yet come from thousands of miles. From this point, it can be seen how much Zhang Yu loves Kang Ling.

Kang Ling gave Zhang Yu a sweat-blooded horse that he traveled thousands of miles a day. Zhang Yu exchanged the success value for jewelry and decorated the horse extremely high. Usually, two people rode a horse and inspected the fortifications on the north side of Juyanhai. At night, they were walking in the room with fish and water.

Zhang Yu asked Kang Ling to strengthen military training, send scouts to reconnaise and collect the situation of the kingdoms in Kangju and the Western Regions Protectorate, and strive to send troops to Kangju Kingdom within two years to help him restore the country and revenge.

After spending a wonderful time with Juyan and Kang Ling, Zhang Yu rode a sweat-blooded horse back to Luoyang. On the way back to Luoyang, he visited Han Sui and Ma Teng, and gave instructions to them, asking them to wait patiently. After peace and stability in Luoyang, the court would meet them.

After visiting Han Sui-Ma Teng, he visited Huangfu Song and informed Huangfu Song about everything that happened in Luoyang.

Huangfu Song informed Zhang Yu of Dong Zhuo's movements, expressed great concerns to Dong Zhuo, and expressed gratitude to Zhang Yu for helping Huangfu Yunduo become the commander of Nanyang County, hoping that after Zhang Yu returned to Jingzhou, he would marry Huangfu Yunduo immediately.

After meeting Huangfu Song, Zhang Yu rode a sweat-blooded horse back to Luoyang base. After listening to Zhang Long and others introducing the situation in Luoyang, they hiked to Jingzhou.

In Longzhong, Xiangyang, Zhang Yu held a simple wedding to marry Huangfu Yunduo.

In the reception room at home, Zhang Yu met with Nanyang Prefect Yang Xu and Nanjun Prefect Guo Yong, Wang Rui, Kuai Liang, Cai Mao, Huangfu Yunduo and Zhao Zhen.

After informing everyone about the situation in Luoyang, Zhang Yu said: "The ten things I talked about at Yongqiao in Luoyang, referred to as the ten things in Yongqiao, must be implemented one by one. I will use the ten things in Yongqiao as an important basis for assessing counties and counties. If any counties do not implement them strictly, I will take the heads of counties to the end. Nanyang and Nanjun are large counties in Jingzhou, and they must take the lead in taking the role of models. I cannot control Luoyang, but I will take charge of everything in Jingzhou. This is the glorious mission given to me by the late emperor. My goal is to build Jingzhou into a paradise on earth so that every citizen can live a happy and happy life. In a few days, I will return to Luoyang. After I return, I will preside over the meeting of the prefects of each county to assess and check the implementation of the ten things in Yongqiao. Let me share with you two first, and I don't hope you will be embarrassed by that time."

Nanyang Prefect Yang Xu and Nanjun Prefect Guo Yong quickly said promise.

Zhang Yu said to Huangfu Yunduo: "To work with Zhao Zhen to do a good job in military work and be prepared for the future big war."

Huangfu Yunduo and Zhao Zhen nodded and said promise.

In Huangfu Yunduo's room, Zhang Yu held Huangfu Yunduo's hand, looked at her eyes, and said, "We have officially become husband and wife. Although I did not marry you with a grand ceremony, it did not affect your status in my heart."

Huangfu Yunduo smiled and said, "It doesn't matter! Since my father is destined, as a daughter, I must obey the order. It is my honor to be able to marry you. Your wives and concubines are both talented and beautiful, and have a prominent family background. Although I am the daughter of a general, compared with them, there is nothing worth showing off. Princess Wannian and Princess Chen are willing to be your concubines. How could I have any objection? Don't worry! I'm happy!"

Zhang Yu touched the back of Huangfu Yunduo's hand and said with a smile: "Since you can figure it out, I won't say anything anymore. The commander of Nanjun must be good. Jingzhou will be our base, and there must be no problems. Soon, Zhang Long and the others will retreat to Nanjun and stay in Xiangyang. After a while, I will plan and build Xiangyang into the most prosperous city in the Han Dynasty."

Huangfu Yunduo smiled and said, "That's great, great! I believe that as long as you say it, it will definitely be realized."

On June 10, the sixth year of Zhongping, Zhang Yu was about to return to Luoyang.

Zhang Yu, Fang Ying, Die'er, Wannian Princess, and Huangfu Yunduo talked in the study.

Princess Wannian was in Zhang Yu's arms, her eyes were red. She not only sad about the death of Emperor Ling of Han, but also couldn't bear to leave Zhang Yu. Although Princess Wannian married Zhang Yu, she was only thirteen years old after all, and was just a little girl. She was very dependent on Zhang Yu.

Zhang Yu stroked Princess Wannian's beautiful buttocks and comforted her softly: "I arranged my home in Longzhong and served as the governor of Jingzhou. We will have a lot of time together in the future. There will be about a month left. Your father's body must be buried. As the son-in-law, I must go to Luoyang, although I cannot bear to leave our home."

Princess Wannian said even more: "Then you will be with me more next time you come back."

Zhang Yu nodded and said, "It must be! How about I take you to patrol the counties at that time?"

Princess Wannian nodded repeatedly and said yes.

Just as Zhang Yu was talking to his wives and concubines, Yuan Shao also spoke to General He Jin at the General's Mansion. Yuan Shao said: "In the past, Dou Wu wanted to kill his inner pet, but instead was harmed because what he said was leaked. The officials of the five camps obeyed the eunuchs and were afraid of eunuchs. Now the general has an important position like his uncle. Brothers and commanded the powerful soldiers, and his subordinates and generals are all handsome and famous. The matter is to master it. This is a good opportunity for God to help the world. The general should eliminate harm for the world and be famous for his future generations. Even Shen Bo of the Zhou Dynasty is nothing! Now the coffin of the lord is in the front hall, and the general is ordered to command the banned soldiers. He should not go to the palace and province at will."
