Great Wei Nengchen

99. Chapter 99 Missed Opportunity

Killing is nothing but nodding!A bloody head extinguished half of the anger in He Jin's chest, and the eunuch Zhao Zhong's extremely humble attitude made him very useful. His long-standing enemy kneeled in front of him and begged, Is there anything more satisfying than this?

"General, don't miss this opportunity. If you don't miss it, it's the best policy to take advantage of this opportunity to kill all the eunuchs!" Cao Cao immediately said, this kind of trick of "giving up the car to protect the handsome" can fool fools, but Can't hide from a wise man like him, when it comes to playing cunning tricks, he is the most dazzling star of this era.

"Well, what Meng De said is very true!" Cao Cao has done a great job in being able to fight back against adversity this time. He Jin couldn't ignore his words, so he flicked his sleeves and continued to walk towards the harem. In between, there was no such determination at the beginning.

An apology must show full sincerity, and a gift must be expensive enough to make the other party's heart flutter. There is no doubt that 'Shi Changshi' is the top expert in gift giving. Maybe this has something to do with the fact that they always receive gifts on weekdays. !

Receive a gift!gift!The two are interlinked, and they are both a science!

Sure enough, just as General He Jin walked a few steps away, the No. 2 gift-giving envoy sent by the eunuchs arrived.

Guo Sheng, a special existence among the "Ten Permanent Attendants", although he is not a core member, is quick-witted, intelligent, and relatively young. He is a young man among the eunuchs and has always been regarded by Zhang Rang as his successor. Come to cultivate, at this time also holding a tray with both hands, kneeling in front of He Jin.

"The general holds the world's soldiers and horses in his hands, and he deserves his name. This is the seal of the inner court, and I am here to present it!" With a shake of the red cloth, dozens of exquisitely crafted tiger charms appeared on the tray in Guo Sheng's hand.

"Hiss!..." Looking at the tiger talismans in various shapes, it would be a lie to say that you are not tempted. There are two tiger talismans in one, which are in charge of the inner and outer courts respectively and restrain each other. This ensures that no one but the emperor Can really control the soldiers and horses of the imperial court, and now the "ten permanent attendants" took the initiative to offer up the power in their hands, which can be said to have shown great sincerity. With these, all the soldiers and horses near Luoyang are in his hands. The great general who deserves his name can simply be called the 'uncrowned king'!

Pulling off the tray, He Jin stuffed dozens of Tiger Talismans into his arms, and his fat stomach suddenly became more bloated, as if he was seven or eight months pregnant generally.

Ugly is ugly. I don’t care about these things. After what happened tonight, He Jin has a new understanding of military power for the first time. The official position of a general is just a decoration. These days, only those who have soldiers have power. Do you have the right to be afraid of not having an official?

After accepting someone's gift, you have to do things for them. This is human nature. He Jin, whose flame was mostly extinguished in his chest, suddenly hesitated. Since the 'Ten Attendants' are so good, maybe we should leave them a way out!

"General, if you cut the weeds but don't get rid of the roots, there will be endless troubles!" Although he was a bit slower than Cao Cao in terms of reaction speed, Yuan Shao was definitely a resourceful person. Seeing He Jin's hesitation, he immediately stepped forward to speak up.

Tonight's coup was successful. If Cao Cao's contribution is the first, then Yuan Shao's contribution is second. If he hadn't been around overnight to contact the gentry for help, I am afraid that the victory in the court today would not be so easy. Now the two meritorious ministers They all advised themselves to act decisively and clean up the eunuch party thoroughly. He Jin also hesitated for a while, "Kill? Or not?...or let others kill?"

While He Jin was hesitating repeatedly, something happened suddenly on the side. I saw Cao Cao strode forward and kicked Guo Sheng who was kneeling on the ground with one kick. It’s expensive, it’s up to you to give it or not!”

Cao Cao's words are very clear. Now that the faction of the General's Mansion has the absolute upper hand, as long as the "Ten Permanent Attendants" are killed, will the tiger talismans controlled by the inner court not fall into his own hands?Give yourself a gift with the benefits that you should have received, ha ha!This little logical trap couldn't hide from him.

"Forgive me, General! We are lowly people, and we don't know anything other than serving our master, but what happened today has nothing to do with us!" Instead of getting up, he took advantage of the situation and rolled to He Jin's feet, hugged He Jin's boots with both hands, and cried loudly: "Even if the little ones made mistakes, it is a great blessing to die in the hands of such a noble man as the general." , please leave a whole body for the little ones! I am so grateful! I am so grateful!..."

Everyone has a heart of compassion. When he saw Guo Sheng crying like a mangy dog ​​at his feet, He Jin could not help but feel a sense of arrogance when he saw Guo Sheng crying at his feet. My opponents, it seems that I really overestimated them before, not to mention Guo Sheng's words just now made him feel a little dissatisfied. Although they are full of merits for Cao Cao and Yuan Shao, their merits cannot be overwhelming. I am the great general, and the rewards and punishments of life and death are all for me, so I should kill the 'ten servants' with my own hands, not for others to decide for me.

Inadvertently, a trace of rebellious psychology took root in He Jin's heart, and he felt that he should re-establish his authority.However, the words of Cao and Yuan could not be refuted in person, so after some hesitation, he decided to push the blame: "The ten permanent attendants are eunuchs, and should be dealt with by the harem themselves. , so as not to lose the courtesy of a monarch and minister, let me enter the harem to meet the queen mother, and then make a decision!"

Cao and Yuan, who were struggling to remonstrate, were left behind, and He Jin walked towards the residence of the Empress Dowager He. Now where is the real power center of the Han Dynasty? As for the little emperor sitting on the dragon chair, everyone knows that it is just a It's just a puppet that hasn't grown up yet.

The days of women in politics have begun!

The harem, the residence of Empress Dowager He, is now crowded with people. As the center of power, the people in the palace have always been the ones to follow the wind and make the rudder. Now that Empress He has gained power, concubines, eunuchs, court ladies, and almost everyone ran away. Come here to flatter the horse, surrounded by flatterers, the newly promoted Empress Dowager He looks worth a lot.

When General He Jin arrived, he happened to see the "Ten Attendants" headed by Zhang Rang kneeling in front of Empress He and weeping bitterly. All the faults in the incident were blamed on Jian Shuo, desperately trying to whiten himself.

"Brother is here, please sit down quickly!" Seeing He Jin coming, the Empress Dowager He first greeted him warmly, then turned around and cursed at the 'Ten Attendants' who were kneeling on the ground: "A group of slaves without eyesight, Why don't you quickly serve the general and sit down, are they all dead?"

He Hou's words are really hidden in the mist. First, he called "Age" to show his kindness, and then changed his title to a general. One is a brother-sister relationship, and the other is a monarch-subject relationship. The gap between the two cannot be the same. The implication is to tell He Jin, "Although you are my elder brother, don't forget that I am the king and you are the minister. Who should be in charge of the world's major affairs? It goes without saying."

Zhang Rang, headed by the 'Ten Attendants', immediately took a few steps on his knees and personally waited for He Jin to sit down. In order not to stain the general's court clothes, he even wiped the couch with his own sleeve. There is no doubt about the strength.Then he kowtowed and begged together with the others, crying with tears, disintegrating the opponent's fighting spirit with the offensive of tears.

"The general came just in time, and Ai's family is rectifying the affairs of the harem. Now the harem is a mess, and there is no distinction between high and low. It should be rectified." He secretly scolded the former Empress Dowager Dong, after all, it was Empress Dong who made the decision in the harem before, but from today on, it should be her Empress Dowager He who has the final say in the harem, no!Not only the harem, but also the world of the big man should be decided by her. The Han family has always had the tradition of the queen mother listening to politics behind the curtain.

What Queen Mother Lu could do in the past, Queen Mother He can do the same today!

"Now that the emperor has just ascended the throne, you, as an uncle, should give more support. There are many things in the court ahead, so the general will take care of them. As for the things in the harem, let the Ai family handle them! "If it was still hinting secretly just now, then Queen Mother He's words are more explicit now.In the final analysis, marrying a husband follows one's husband. Although the Queen Mother He is also surnamed He, she is now the daughter-in-law of the old Liu family after all, and it is because of the Liu family, not the He family, that she can have her current status and power.

Moreover, He Hou also concealed her selfishness in how to deal with the matter of "Ten Permanent Attendants". How could she not know about the battle between her relatives and eunuchs after living in the palace for a long time?But today is different from the past, and different positions have different ideas. In the past, she needed the help of her relatives to support her son in power, so she naturally did her best to support her own brother He Jin in power; but now, as the actual head of the empire, she Now that she has mastered it, she has to consider how to better balance the power in the court. It is not in her mind to dominate the family of her relatives. The story of her relatives' "Wang Mang usurping the Han" is a profound lesson, and her authority is the same as Liu's. The country with the surname is tied together, and it will be damaged if it is damaged!All glory!So leaving the 'Ten Attendants' to limit the power of General He Jin's family is her real purpose at this time.

What's more, the groveling performance of "Ten Attendants" at this time really made her lose her vigilance, thinking that she could completely control the group of vicious dogs whose spines were severed... as everyone knows, vicious dogs will eventually bite people !

"The Queen Mother is right!" He Jin, who had no idea at first, was stunned by his sister's carrot and stick. 'Things have long been left behind.

"Come here, send the general out of the palace!" The goal has been achieved, and He Hou immediately began to see the guests off.

"No!...General, please!" The 'Ten Attendants' on the side immediately nodded and bowed, wishing to send this 'General Butcher' out immediately.

"Hey!..." At this point, He Jin shook his head like a pig's head, and just walked out of the inner palace in a daze...

Great opportunity, don't miss it!

100. Chapter 100 Xiao Lang Sleeps

In this world, if there is anything more frustrating than having a pig-like teammate, it must be having a pig-like boss!

At the gate of the harem, Cao Cao and Yuan Shao couldn't help but let out a long sigh when they saw the great general He Jin who had returned empty-handed. If you don't die after beating a snake, you will be backlashed. Take precautions.

Although the ending is not perfect, but in any case, they are the victorious party after all in this palace coup, and the biggest reward for the victors is to share the fruits of victory.

The cake is only that big, if you eat one more bite, I will eat one less bite. If you eat, you will live, and if I eat, I will live. Who should eat this piece of cake?

It depends on who has the sharpest knife... At this moment, there are no rulers, fathers and sons, and there is no superiority or inferiority. Everyone can't wait to wave their blades and start to divide desperately.

There was a lot of noise in the Yangde Hall. At first, it was a competition among the people inside the General's Mansion, and then the gentry who had been jealous for a long time also joined in. Finally, those who were still crying in front of the coffin of Emperor Hanling just now The deadly veterans of the neutral faction were also involved. With the increase of the number of people, the heat of the discussion also rose rapidly. From the beginning of the discussion, it turned into an argument, and finally it simply turned into a quarrel. , revealing each other's privacy, plus the nicknames and nicknames of certain ministers mixed in between... What a mess!

The biggest secret of politics is to compromise with each other. Finally, after repeated quarrels, the knife that cuts the cake falls.

He Jin, as the biggest beneficiary of this coup d'état, obtained the authority to participate in Shangshu affairs as a general, and completely integrated the military and political power of the imperial court. Because of their active planning and contact with all parties, they have been promoted to the ranks of generals one after another. Jue, granted the title of "Marquis of Wuwei", the scenery is infinite for a while.

The aristocratic families withdrew the long-awaited right to recommend officials, regained control of their official career privileges, and Yuan Kai, as the head of the family, was successfully promoted to the post of Taifu; The Empress Dowager's family, because of their power still exists, should not be underestimated. For the purpose of appeasement, they also received a consolation prize: Guo uncle Dong Zhong was promoted to the rank of General Hussars, and the second son of the emperor Liu Xie was crowned King Chenliu; thus, everyone was happy !

By the way, there is another person who is an exception and has not received any rewards, that is our poor Xiao Yi'children's shoes, who led troops into the city to guard in the middle of the night, was the first to rush into the palace, and the first to lead troops to the palace to intimidate the officials. The credit was wiped out, as if he had never appeared. Cao Cao, who was dissatisfied with this, once argued with reason, but was quickly overruled by Yuan Shao and others.

As for the reason?It's easy!

May I ask?A soldier with a sword went into battle to kill the enemy and made a military exploit, so who should this credit go to?The sword that kills the enemy?Or the one with the sword?

The answer, of course, is the one with the sword!

No matter how sharp the sword is, it is controlled by others. In the same way, in the eyes of these superiors, Xiao Yi and his soldiers of the Xuanjia Army are the swords in their hands. As for the precious sword, after killing the enemy, it is time to obediently return the sword like a sheath.

No matter how angry Cao Cao was about this, it was useless. In fact, anyone with a discerning eye would understand that this was Yuan Shao taking the opportunity to retaliate. Who told Xiao Yi to choose Cao Cao, who had a dirty background, instead of him, a son of a famous family who came from four generations and three fathers, when he stood in line? .

If you say you have merit, you will have merit, and if you don't have merit, you can become merit. It's politics!

If you say you have no merit, you have no merit, and if you have something, you can become nothing, such as Xiao Yi, this is also politics!

..........................................

Where should Xiao Yi, who should be full of grievances and crying sadly, hide at this time? ……He is sleeping!

For this coup, he has not rested for two days and one night. If you count it carefully, from the day when the face saint returned from entering the palace, Xiao Yi has been wearing his armor day and night, making various preparations all the time, and has not slept well for a long time. After a while, other soldiers can still rest in shifts, only he dare not relax at all from the beginning to the end, even the Iron Man should be exhausted by now, you know, blood is shed in wars, but participating in political struggles is painstaking efforts !

He has no interest in the quarrels in the Yangde Hall, and he doesn't care about the so-called promotion of officials. They are all official positions like castles in the air. What is so rare? Xiao Yi believes that as long as the sword in his hand is still Now, as long as the Xuanjia Army under him is still there, there will be countless high-ranking officials and generous salaries waiting for him to enjoy slowly.

The sky is big, the earth is big, and the sleep is the biggest!What's more, one of Xiao Yi's lifelong hobbies is to sleep in. The most important thing now is to find a place to sleep well. As for those people in the hall, even if their heads are noisy, it has nothing to do with him!
