Han Dynasty Achievements

Chapter 26: The Man Who Brings Trouble to the Nation

Yuan Shu was a chivalrous man with a more radical temperament than his half-brother Yuan Shao.

When everyone saw that it was Yuan Shu, they couldn't help but look at each other, discuss in low voices, and mostly nod.

Yuan Shu was from the Yuan family, a legitimate son, and had a noble status. Countless people placed high hopes on him.

They are all from prominent families and are closely related, so even if something happens among them, they can still deal with it.

Everyone in the room quickly agreed and had no objections, as they really couldn't find a more suitable candidate.

Seeing this, He Jin resolutely straightened his body, his face suddenly fierce, and shouted: "That's it, wait for the emperor's order to arrive, tomorrow morning, I will take action!"

Cao Cao then said, "General, if things are not done carefully, they will fail. It is better to act sooner rather than later. I suggest that we act today!"

"You youngsters, how can you know the importance of important matters!" Having already appointed the Inspector of the Imperial Capital, He Jin could no longer tolerate Cao Cao and scolded him coldly!

Cao Cao was furious and was about to retort, but Wang Yun beside him grabbed him back.

Cao Cao was taught a lesson twice in a row by He Jin. He looked unhappy, but he tried hard not to get angry.

He Jin snorted coldly, looked around at everyone, and said in a deep voice: "Let's make a plan today. There will be nothing to do tomorrow. Everyone, please don't go out or move around. Everything will be decided by me!"

Wang Yun was stunned for a moment. To eliminate the followers of the Twelve Eunuchs was such a big deal, but He Jin just appointed him as the Inspector of the Imperial Guards and was done with it?

Not only Wang Yun, but also the three ministers Ding Gong, Liu Hong, Liu Yu, the recorder of the Secretariat Yuan Wei, Dong Zhong, and everyone else in the hall were all stunned.

But soon someone realized that this was not the first time He Jin had acted so arbitrarily!

At the same time, some people are even more worried. If He Jin eliminates the Twelve Eunuchs, it may not be as simple as being autocratic!

While these "outsiders" were stunned, He Jin's men had already begun to gear up, with all sorts of plans emerging in their minds, and even the possible scenes of the people they wanted to arrest had already emerged in their minds.

Yuan Shu held his sword, his eyes burning, and he couldn't wait to start.

Others could tolerate it, but Cao Cao couldn't. He was already furious, so he raised his hand and said, "General, what will happen tomorrow if the news leaks out and the eunuchs collude and run around?"

Seeing Cao Cao contradicting him again and again, He Jin's face twitched and he asked sternly, "Who do you mean by the leak of the news?"

As soon as these words were spoken, many people present cast strange looks at Cao Cao.

Cao Cao could not bear it any longer, and stood up, as if he was about to scold him, but was pulled back again. He had no choice but to suppress his anger and said, "Since the general has made up his mind, there is no point in saying anything more. Farewell!"

He didn't even bother to bow and strode away.

Wang Yun saw this and quickly defended him, saying, "General, Meng De's words do make some sense. I will go and persuade him."

Having said that, he stood up and chased after Cao Cao.

He Jin looked at the backs of the two men with fierce eyes, and said to the others indifferently: "Meng De is a man who talks a lot but acts rashly. He is not a man who can accomplish anything."

Cao Cao hadn't walked far when he heard it, paused, snorted coldly, and strode away.

Wang Yun chased after him and finally caught up with him. He sighed, "Meng De, you know the general's temperament. Why should you be angry at this important moment?"

Cao Cao was furious after being taught a lesson by He Jin time and again. Hearing this, he said angrily, "He Jin is narrow-minded and vindictive. How can he be a great general? He is making such a big fuss today just to show off his authority to us. I think He Jin will be the one who brings disaster to the country in the future!"

"Speak carefully! Speak carefully!"

Wang Yun glanced behind him, pulled him forward quickly, and said, "I am worried about this too. Don't you see that the other gentlemen are silent? In Luoyang City, apart from the imperial guards that you and Jian Shuo are in charge of, there are only five battalions of the Northern Army. Now it is in the hands of the general. If he does something, what can we do?"

Cao Cao was naturally aware of this and said, "Minister Wang, I think there will be disaster tomorrow!"

In fact, Wang Yun was not familiar with Cao Cao. The reason he chased out was simply to avoid trouble. Upon hearing this, he just shook his head and stopped talking. The two of them walked out of the General's Mansion side by side.

In the mansion, He Jin had already issued a token of authority to Yuan Shu, and asked others to transfer all the soldiers and government officials under their command to Yuan Shu.

Each prefecture, county, and temple had more or less some soldiers, runners, and servants.

Seeing these people dragging their feet and unwilling to release the people, He Jin's eyes widened, his expression majestic and fierce, and he said in a deep voice: "If anyone takes this opportunity to cause trouble and spreads the news, don't blame me for putting them together with the eunuch party!"

As soon as these words were spoken, no one dared to refuse and they all handed over the people.

Yuan Shu was holding a number of tokens and banners in his hands. He was extremely excited, his face was tense, his breathing was rapid, and the sword at his waist was shaking.

It can be said that at this time, his power had become unimaginable, and he simply ruled the city of Luoyang!

Soon, a group of people left the General's Mansion in twos and threes.

Yuan Wei looked at his nephew who was so happy, frowned, and said, "Come with me."

Yuan Shu still had great respect for his uncle, so he restrained his smile and followed Yuan Wei.

Inside the back hall.

He Jin held a piece of white cloth in his hand, gently wiping the sword he had worn for many years. His face was as hard as iron, and his eyes were staring outside the door with murderous intent.

He seemed to have seen Zhang Rang and the others, and said in a deep voice: "I will use your heads to establish my position in the new dynasty!"

At this time, Chen Lin hurried back from outside. Seeing He Jin cleaning his sword, he slowed down his pace, pondered and walked forward and said, "General, have you decided on the plan?"

When He Jin saw him, he suddenly put back his sword, smiled, and said in a clear voice: "Kong Zhang, today in the palace, His Majesty told me to investigate the Twelve Eunuchs!"

Chen Lin had thought a lot on the way back from the city. Seeing He Jin's expression, he knew that he could not persuade him, so he changed the subject and said, "I heard that General Huangfu came to the palace to plead guilty today. His Majesty not only did not blame him, but also reinstated him as General of Chariots and Cavalry and reorganized the Sili troops."

He Jin was now feeling more happy than ever before, and he was in a state of special excitement. He nodded and said, "That's right. Huangfu Song's second son offended Your Majesty, and it was I who spoke up for him."

Chen Lin sighed inwardly. His hint was so clear, but He Jin didn't get it at all.

Now the combined forces of Nangong and Beigong are less than 4,000, which is equivalent to the five battalions under He Jin's command. Once Huangfu Song takes control of the Sili army, He Jin's career as a general will be over.

However, He Jin was immersed in the excitement of eliminating the Twelve Eunuchs and did not have any doubts at all.

He Jin looked up at the door, his face flushed as if he was drunk, and said, "Kong Zhang, I admire your talent and character. After tomorrow, are you willing to seek a position in the Imperial Court?"

When Chen Lin saw that He Jin was about to grant him an official title and make a wish, he was extremely disappointed.

"It's better to leave as soon as possible. He Jin is not a man who can accomplish anything." Chen Lin became more and more determined to leave, and he was considering whether to leave today or tomorrow.

Seeing Chen Lin didn't say anything, He Jin thought that Chen Lin didn't want to go to the Imperial Court, or that he was considering the size of the official position. He patted Chen Lin on the shoulder and said loudly: "Don't worry, Kong Zhang, you and I have made great contributions. I will never treat you unfairly! After tomorrow, there will be many vacant official positions. Kong Zhang can choose any one of them!"

Chen Lin didn't care about these things. Just as he was thinking of making excuses to shirk responsibility, he saw a clerk running in and excitedly said, "Master, the Grand Chamberlain from the palace has brought the Eleventh Eunuch here!"

He Jin's eyes widened angrily. He no longer cared about Chen Lin and strode forward, even running towards the door.
