    It is said that Zhang Rang saw that the situation was not good and immediately led his troops to see the Queen Mother. He said that the general's troops had rebelled and were besieging the palace city. He asked the Queen Mother to move immediately.

    Seeing the ferocious look on Zhang Rang's face, the Queen Mother He did not dare to say no at all, so the eunuchs escorted the Queen Mother, the Emperor, King Chen Liu and others, as well as the palace officials, and fled from Fudao towards the Beigong.  go.

    Lu Zhi, the minister, realized that something was wrong. He had no time to summon his troops, so he grabbed a spear, stood under the window of the compound road, and loudly scolded Duan Gui and others.  Lu Zhi was a great scholar at home, and he was famous for suppressing the Yellow Turban bandits. Duan Gui and others were wary of him. The Queen Mother took the opportunity to escape, but the Emperor was still under the control of the eunuchs.

    At this time, Yuan Shao and others also learned the news that He Jin had been killed, and were shocked.  But when they came to their senses, they felt that there was a rare opportunity waiting for their Yuan family!

    Yuan Shao secretly said to his uncle Yuan Wei: "Now that the general has been killed, the eunuchs are forcing the emperor to flee. If we can take the opportunity to annihilate the eunuchs and rescue the emperor, then our Yuan family can take charge of the court. In addition, the righteous deed of getting rid of the eunuchs  , our Yuan family will surely become famous far and wide. Our Yuan family already has a good reputation as the fourth generation and the three nobles. If we continue to make great achievements, the rise of power will only be the beginning of the glory of our Yuan family!"

    Yuan Wei nodded repeatedly, but still had some concerns. He whispered: "He Jin's younger brother He Miao also has soldiers and horses, and he is quite brave. If the normal order is followed, he is likely to inherit He Jin's official position. By then.  At that time, He Miao had the support of Queen Mother He and was on good terms with the ministers, so it would be difficult for us to overthrow him!"

    "Since we can't bring him down by then, we might as well kill him now!" Yuan Shao said viciously: "Haier secretly snares more than a thousand desperadoes during this period. Cao Mengde and others have a close relationship with Haier, and they also have more than a thousand people in their hands.  Horses are enough to fight He Miao. Moreover, the relationship between He Jin and He Miao has never been harmonious. He Jin¡¯s old subordinates are also full of complaints against He Miao. As long as we provoke him appropriately, we can make He Jin¡¯s subordinates follow us and kill He Miao.  !¡±

    Yuan Wei praised them for their kindness, so Yuan Shao and others issued a false edict to summon Fan Ling, Xu Xiang and others to kill them.  He Jin's old subordinate Wu Kuang and others said: "The man behind the killing of the general was the cavalry general He Miao! Without him as a backing, how could those timid eunuchs dare to take action?! Now that He Miao is at large, are you  Are you willing to follow me and avenge the general?"

    Wu Kuang and others had always had problems with He Miao and suspected that he was colluding with the eunuchs. When Yuan Shao said this, he immediately said with tears: "I am willing to follow the general to kill He Miao and avenge the general!"

    So Yuan Shao opened the palace gate and led his troops to attack He Miao's troops.  He Miao quickly commanded his troops to retreat to the palace city, but at this time Cao Cao's troops and Dong Min's troops, Dong Zhuo's younger brother, had arrived. He Miao was outnumbered and was quickly defeated and killed.

    Seeing He Miao being killed, Yuan Shao was extremely proud. He suppressed his smile and said loudly: "I, the whole country, have been harmed by these eunuchs, and now the people are in dire straits. Gentlemen, we have opened the palace gate, why not take advantage of this opportunity?"  The time is right to kill Jian Huan and bring peace to my big man!"

    The soldiers responded to the call, so they held weapons and searched the palaces. Anyone without a beard would be killed.  Some young officials were even killed by mistake.  In order to save their lives, many Langguan even took off their pants to confirm their identity regardless of their appearance.

    In less than an hour, the soldiers killed more than two thousand people.  Now the officers and soldiers had a bloody feud with the eunuchs, and had no way out. They had no choice but to follow Yuan Shao's arrangements and attack Beigong fiercely.

    Seeing that the situation was not good, Zhang Rang and others ordered his men to guard the palace gate, while he, Duan Gui, and dozens of his followers escorted the emperor and King Chenliu, sneaked out of the valley gate and fled in the direction of Xiaopingjin.

    At this time, the ministers took the opportunity to escape, and most of them found a place to hide. The war was in chaos, so it was better to save their own lives first.  However, Lu Zhi tried to get a war horse and rushed to Wang Yun for help overnight.  After hearing what he said, Wang Yun immediately ordered Minggong from central Henan to accompany Lu Zhi to escort him, and mobilized his troops to follow Lu Zhi.

    Soon, Lu Zhi and others caught up with Zhang Rang and his party on the edge of the Yellow River.  It was still dark at this time, and there was no ferry on the river. Zhang Rang and others who were in desperate situation were severely reprimanded by Lu Zhi, Mingong and others. They were so ashamed that they threw themselves into the river.  Lu Zhi and others took advantage of the opportunity to rescue the emperor, and then he breathed a sigh of relief.

    However, at this time, Dong Zhuo's troops heard that the young emperor had appeared in the Beimang area, and quickly led their troops to protect him.  Lu Zhi's troops were too few, so the emperor and others fell under Dong Zhuo's control.

    By daybreak, Yuan Shao was surprised to find that although he controlled most of the courtiers, the emperor was nowhere to be seen.  There is no other way, just look for it. After searching and searching, I finally found out that Dong Zhuo has become the winner!

    No?? Although Dong Zhuo controlled the emperor, he did not have much influence on the ministers of the court.  From Dong Zhuo's point of view, after sending the emperor back to the palace, he had lost his greatest support. If he continued, his move to Beijing would only be a waste of water!

    So, Dong Zhuo came up with the idea of ??deposing the emperor!  In Dong Zhuo's view, the imperial line of the Han Dynasty had been cut off many times since Emperor He, so both the queen mother and her relatives set up young rulers to succeed the throne. The queen mother came to the court and her relatives ruled dictatorship.  However, although the Emperor is supported by the Queen Mother, He Jin and He Miao are dead, and the Queen Mother He is alone. How can she have the power to protect the Emperor from sitting on the throne?

    Thinking of this, Dong Zhuo was secretly happy and decided to intervene in the arrangement of imperial power after the coup in the name of rectifying the royal family.

    "However, Yuan Shao's family is not that easy to deal with.  Now the Empress Dowager He, who is proclaimed emperor, is recuperating due to an injury. The important affairs of the court are arranged and presided over by Yuan Wei, the imperial minister.  The coup in the capital shocked the world. Fortunately, the emperor was safe. Now he is back in the palace, and the whole court is happy.  Yuan Wei quickly asked the emperor to summon the ministers, issued an edict of amnesty to the world, changed Guangxi's reign name to Zhaoning, and appointed Wu Mengdu Wei Ding Yuan as Zhijinwu to command the Northern Army's Tiqi Zhiji.  When the emperor goes on patrol, he is responsible for guarding the emperor's ceremonial guard; usually he is responsible for patrolling and guarding outside the palace in Luoyang City, preparing for emergencies such as water and fire, and keeping the weapons, crossbows, swords, and armor in the capital's arsenal.

    In this way, if Dong Zhuo wants to monopolize power, he must kill Ding Yuan.  But Ding Yuan had strong soldiers and horses, and he also had generals such as Lu Bu. In the eyes of Yuan Wei and Yuan Shao, Dong Zhuo was by no means Ding Yuan's opponent.  After Dong Zhuo left sadly, it was not too late for them to attack Ding Yuan.

    However, Dong Zhuo has the potential for reverse thinking. Since he can't defeat Ding Yuan from the front, he should start from the side.  The one you, Ding Yuan, rely on the most is Lu Bu. I will try to instigate him to rebel!  After paying for the rare treasures, plus the red rabbit and horse, Lu Bu happily joined Dong Zhuo and respected him as his father!

    As a result, Dong Zhuo's power has greatly increased, and there is no force in Luoyang that can confront him head-on!

    The ministers who were dissatisfied with Dong Zhuo came to Yuan Wei's mansion to gather and secretly discuss the matter of dealing with Dong Zhuo.  At this time, Bao Xin took the lead and said: "Dong Zhuo is commanding a strong army and will have some evil plans. If we don't make a plan now, we will definitely be defeated by him. We should take advantage of the fact that he has just entered the capital and the troops and horses are very tired. We should wait for work in leisure. We should take advantage of Dong Zhuo's foothold."  If we are not yet stable, if we launch an attack, we will be able to capture Dong Zhuo alive!"

    Dong Zhuo's Liangzhou army is fierce and good at fighting, and the government and the public have long heard about it. Now that Dong Zhuo has led his troops to Beijing, Yuan Shao is not sure whether he can defeat Dong Zhuo.  Even if Dong Zhuo is captured, Dong Zhuo still has trusted soldiers and horses in Liangzhou. They will definitely use this as an excuse to send troops to capture Guanzhong and even the area west of Luoyang.  At present, the rebels such as Han Sui and Ma Teng in Liangzhou have not yet been wiped out. If they join forces with the rebels of Han Sui and Ma Teng, the western part of the Han Empire will be lost.

    Because of this, Yuan Shao did not dare to agree to Bao Xin's request.  He said to Bao Xin and all the ministers: "I don't know what Captain Bao said! It's just that the rebellion of the Shichangshi has just subsided, and the court has made a new decision. It is not advisable to act rashly to avoid causing trouble again!"

    Seeing that Yuan Shao refused to adopt his plan, Bao Xin asked the Grand Tutor Yuan Wei.  Yuan Wei walked for a few steps, thought for a while, and said to Bao Xin: "Let's discuss this later!"

    Cao Cao also advised Yuan Kui to take advantage of Dong Zhuo's unstable footing to gather all the forces and launch an attack on Dong Zhuo.  Although the combat power of everyone's men varies greatly, the number is much greater than that of Dong Zhuo's men. Once they charge hard, they may be able to defeat Dong Zhuo's men.

    At this time, Yuan Wei was confused by Dong Zhuo's suspicious tactics and did not dare to make a decision.  Everyone deliberated for several hours, but due to different opinions, no countermeasures were discussed, and the gathering broke up unhappy.

    At this time, although Dong Zhuo planned to cultivate relations with the late Empress Xiaoren and make the nine-year-old Chenliu King Liu Xie emperor as a "foreign relative", he did not act as a general, so as not to take away Dou Xian and others.  dead end.  In Dong Zhuo's view, he could win the recognition of the scholar-bureaucrats and participate in the affairs of the ministers.

    ??In the four months since the death of the late Emperor Xiaoling in April, the weather has not been normal.  Anyway, as long as there are unusual weather disasters, everyone thinks it is a warning from God, and the court will usually remove the three princes to ask God for forgiveness.  Dong Zhuo, who had a large army, hinted to the court that Tian Jiuyu was a warning from heaven, and asked the emperor to issue a policy to remove Sikong Liu Hong, and Dong Zhuo was appointed Sikong.

    After taking office, Dong Zhuo listened to the suggestions of Zhou Ao and Wu Qiong and recalled Cai Yong from exile to the court in order to improve the scholars' view of him and make them recognize what he was doing now.

    Cai Yong is a famous person in the world. He is highly talented, straightforward and outspoken. All the scholars in the elite respect him.  After Cai Yong arrived in Luoyang, Dong Zhuo was very happy and appointed him as Sikong Jijiu.

    Dong Zhuo also respected Cai Yong very much. In addition, in order to show that he respected the scholar-bureaucrats to gain the support of the scholar-officials, Dong Zhuo promoted Cai Yong to the highest rank. Within three days, Cai Yong was promoted to the highest rank.He served as a supplementary minister to the censor, and then became a bookkeeper and censor. He was then promoted to the minister of Shangshutai, and soon he was appointed to serve as a minister.

    In this way, Dong Zhuo has gained popularity and restored his image.  So this guy finally revealed his true colors and was preparing to depose the emperor!
