Rangers of the Three Kingdoms - C361
Yuan Yuan was not worried about the safety of the Grand General Ho Jin. He believed that the Eunuch in the palace was not an idiot, no matter what, he wouldn’t risk his life to kill He Jin right now. The empress dowager and Eunuch that he was worried about could use all sorts of excuses to imprison the Great General in the imperial palace, or even prison him directly, and use this to coerce He Jin to agree to their conditions. To join hands with the Eunuch to deal with himself and the ministers in the court.
He paced up and down the lobby with his hands behind his back, worried. He felt that the chances of the empress dowager and Eunuch imprisoning the Grand General Ho Jin in the palace was very high. Once the Great General and the Eunuch joined hands, the ones to suffer would definitely be scholars, and the Luoyang would definitely be engulfed by a rain of blood. Yuan Yuan’s heart shuddered and his breathing suddenly became hurried.
Just then, the herald that Yuan Shao had sent over arrived, went straight to Yuan Wu’s hall, knelt down and said: “Master Tutor, Eunuch has killed Grand General Ho Jin for the crime of conspiring against me, Hu Ben is burning Master Yuan Shu’s door, preparing to enter the palace and kill adulterous castration.”
“Ah …” Yuan Yuan was shocked and dumbstruck. After a long while, he still could not react and asked in disbelief, “The Great General was killed?”
“Return to Master Tutor, Great General was indeed killed by adulterous castration, their heads were already thrown out.” herald nodded his head and said.
Suddenly, Yuan Jun felt ecstatic in his heart. In the boundless darkness of the night, he seemed to be able to see a trace of light in the horizon. However, he did not reveal a single hint of joy in front of the soldier. Instead, his face was cold as he slammed the table and bellowed, “adulterous castration has presumptuously killed the minister, his punishment is unforgivable.”
“Go back and tell Yuan Shu, order him to immediately attack the Imperial Palace and kill all the adulterous castration, don’t let even one of them escape.” Yuan Xi waved his hand and called herald, who was about to leave, “Tell Yuan Shu to protect Son of Heaven, Empress Dowager and King Chen Liu well.”
As soon as the herald left, Yuan Wu immediately called over his own set of clothes, “Order Henan Wang Yun to immediately bring the palace guards to control the main streets of the Luoyang City and surround all the mansions of the adulterous castration in the city. Order Commander of the City Gate Wu Qiong to seal off the Luoyang City’s door, and prevent anyone from entering or leaving the Luoyang. ”
As soon as Yuan Zuoguo left, the Shang Shu Zhi sent an urgent message. He was no longer a teacher, the Emperor had just passed down the order to appoint He Miao as Great General, to command the northern troop and the West Garden Army. The former Grand Commandant Fan Ling was appointed as field officer Si Li, and the Young Mansion Phase was appointed as Henan Yin.
“These damned adulterous castration, they are really quick …” Yuan Yuan cursed angrily, but there was nothing he could do. The ideological education of the imperial power for generations made him afraid to defy the emperor’s imperial edict. Although he did have some schemes and tricks up his sleeves, it was only a fight for power under the imperial power system. No matter what, he would not dare to actually offend the imperial power.
“The adulterous castration has seized the initiative yet again. Are we warriors going to suffer this disaster again?” Yuan closed his eyes in pain and despair. If Yuan Shu was unable to take over the palace and the rider general He Miao took over the northern troop and the West Garden Army, the situation in the Luoyang would turn around.
Just then, Commander of the City Gate Wu Qiong sent someone to deliver an urgent message, saying that the Son of Heaven’s decree had just reached his hands. The content of the decree was the same as Yuan Zhong’s order to seal the city gates. There were also a few eunuchs who rode their horses out of the city, heading in the direction of peace and optimism. They were probably there to pass down their orders as well.
Just as he had expected, the Eunuch went to take over the military power. But at this time of despair, Yuan Zhong calmed down. He gently placed Commander of the City Gate Wu Qiong’s letter on the table, raised her head high and shouted towards the door, “Men!”
“Go find Commander Yuan Shao quickly, and order him to immediately kill adulterous castration’s comrades He Miao, Fan Ling and Xu Xiang. Furthermore, he was to tell him that the Son of Heaven has been kidnapped by the adulterous castration, that all the orders are false, and those who hold the orders will be punished by the adulterous castration, and they will be punished by the adulterous castration! ”
Yuan Hu let out a long breath as he saw his servant leaving. He knew that there was no turning back once he took that step. Since the heavens had given him the opportunity, he had to seize it tightly. Unconsciously, he seemed to feel a sense of relaxation.
The glow of the sunset in the west faded away, and the shadows became denser and denser, gradually blending together with the darkness of the night, slowly enveloping the entire Luoyang. However, the sky above the Luoyang was filled with flames, as if it was going to break through the night sky.
The raging flames finally burned down the thick palace door, and with a muffled sound, this sacred palace door that symbolized imperial authority finally collapsed with a loud bang. Yuan Shu’s guards, He Jin’s retainer, Yuan Shao’s soldiers, Wang Kuang’s brave soldiers, all rushed into the palace.
“Kill …”
All the soldiers were shouting, raising their weapons high and stomping heavily on the sacred palace door. The four hundred years of Holy Emperor’s power in the Darkhan Dynasty was like the afterglow of the setting sun. It lost its pale halo and was trampled upon mercilessly by the soldiers!
Zhang Jin’s eyes were bloodshot. He was the first one to rush into the palace, a cruel killing intent flashed past his eyes as he rushed crazily. Just as he reached the front of the Hall, he suddenly saw more than a dozen eunuchs running away. He took a few steps forward fiercely and swung his right arm, the large blade in his hand whistled out, aiming at the head of the eunuch who was running at the back.
Wherever the blade went, the eunuch’s head suddenly turned around, his eyes bulging out as he glared at Zhang Jin. His body had already fallen to the ground, the long knife in his hands were still digging itself into the ground, a jet of blood spurted out from his neck, dyeing the floor of the palace red.
The soldiers behind Zhang Jin swarmed forward and surrounded the eunuchs. His expression was still ferocious, and hot blood was spurting out from his neck one after another, splashing onto the palace wall. Burning torches illuminated the hell-like slaughterhouse as well as the bloody palace.
Suddenly, a dozen fourteen to fifteen year old children ran out from the bushes and bumped into the ferocious Yuan Shu and his soldiers. Those children who were still young quickly knelt on the ground. They might not be able to understand the meaning of death, but their eyes were filled with the most primitive of human fears.
“We are reading companions with the emperor, not eunuchs.” A courageous child repeatedly kowtowed as he wailed.
“Kill anyone without a beard!” Yuan Shu’s expression was indifferent, he casually waved the longsword in his hand, and the sharp sword edge sliced through, chopping off the Young Eunuch’s neck coldly. Another burst of boiling hot blood splashed onto the forbidden grounds of the imperial palace, and slowly flowed down the stem of the grass, the originally green grass was dyed with a dark red color.
“Oh my god …” Yuan Shu, you lunatic! Do you know what you did? These are the children of the Minister of the Court. They are here to be read by the Emperor. At some point in time, Shang Shu Zhi came over with a dozen servants. Looking at the corpses of the children, they began to wail.
“Esteemed Empress Dowager, Esteemed Empress Dowager, something bad has happened. The people of the Grand General Ho Jin are conspiring against us and are setting the palace on fire to attack the Shang Shu Sect. ” Just as Yuan Shu was burning the doors to the palace, Zhang Jean already understood that the scholars had completely broken free from their bindings this time. The Sacred Palace was no longer able to protect them, they only had the Son of Heaven and the Empress Dowager as their umbrella.
“Ah …” Empress Dowager He was like a thunder that struck her head, her body shook a few times. If not for the maid beside her being extremely nimble, she would have fallen to the ground. It was really hard for her to imagine that her brother was actually planning to rebel. It was unknown if it was because she was angry or afraid, but she trembled and said, “Now …” “What should we do?”
“Empress Dowager, the Great General has already surrounded the Imperial Palace, so the Imperial Palace cannot stay for long. Servants have already ordered people to bring in the Emperor and the King Chen Liu. The army of hussar general are all in North Gate s, as long as we reach their camp, they wouldn’t dare to do anything to you. ” In the moment of crisis, Zhang Fu immediately thought of Yang Lin.
“Alright then, let’s go quickly!” At this moment, the faint sounds of battle could be heard from outside the palace gates. The Empress Dowager He was even more frightened. That butcher could do anything, she just wanted to leave quickly and be safe in Yang Lin’s camp.
Yuan Shao stood in front of the palace gate and coldly swept his gaze across the imperial palace within the firelight. He would not charge in and start a massacre. His duty was to give orders, “Close all doors of the palace. No man, regardless of age or age, must be beheaded!”
At this time, Master Tutor’s urgent letter arrived. He Jin couldn’t help but be shocked when he opened it. He looked left and right, his expression quickly calming down. He then said to the herald beside him: “Immediately enter the palace to find Lord Wang Kuang, and order him to bring troops to the Imperial Palace immediately.”
Just as the herald left, Yuan Shao called over the second squad of soldiers: “Former Grand Commandant Fan Ling and Young Mansion Phase colluded with the adulterous castration and murdered Great General. I hereby order you to head to the houses of former Grand Commandant Fan Ling and Young Mansion Phase immediately and kill these two traitorous thieves and destroy their whole family. ”
“Yes sir!” The leader of the two groups of soldiers replied, but didn’t make a move. He helplessly looked at Yuan Shao, waiting for his orders. If the imperial edict didn’t kill them, then in the future, the emperor would blame them for it.
“The royal decree is in the hands of the Master Tutor, you guys just go and carry it out, if there’s anything you need me to do, I will carry it out!” Of course, Yuan Shao knew that they were waiting for an order. These soldiers were not his servants after all, they would not kill people without an order. But Yuan Shao was furious, he bellowed: “Hurry up and go, you will let these two traitors leave, and kill your whole family.”
The two generals didn’t dare to delay any longer. They turned around and ran away with their men. Compared to the previous Grand Commandant Fan Ling and the Young Mansion Phase, they cared more about their whole family. In any case, they had Yuan Shao to carry the responsibility, and they could kill whoever they wanted.
Not long later, Wang Kuang ran out from the palace with his team. Wang Kuang was covered in blood, his entire body reeking of blood. Yuan Shao couldn’t help but cover his nose and say coldly: “Riding the carriage, General He Miao colluded with the adulterous castration to kill Great General in order to become the Great General. I am here on behalf of the Imperial edict, ordering you to kill General He Miao and destroy her whole family. ”
Wang Kuang had always resented that He Miao was not the same as him, and had even suspected that he was colluding with an eunuch. Hearing Yuan Shao’s order, he did not care whether Yuan Shao had an imperial edict or not, and turned to his soldiers to say: “The one who killed Great General is the rider general He Miao, will the warriors take revenge for the Great General?”
