”Killing Jian Shuo is indeed a good opportunity, but at that time, the imperial edict only allowed him to pacify the rebellion, so he did not send troops across the river.” Zhang Jin blinked his eyes and said faintly, ”And because of that, he obtained the trust of the empress dowager. If the empress dowager could feel the might of the alliance once again, she would not hesitate to give Yang Lin a royal decree.
”Mm …” He Jin was shocked, his heart started beating faster. He suddenly realised that Yang Lin was waiting for him to make a mistake. If he pushed the empress dowager too hard, Yang Lin would enter the Luoyang under the banner of saving the empress dowager, and he, He Jin, would die a graveless death.
”Great General, since the empress dowager has already chased away the Chinese traditional medicine, Little Yellow Gate and the other eunuchs from the Imperial Palace, your objective has basically been achieved. Furthermore, I am still a bit worried about this Dong Zhuo, so let him return to the West Cold. ”
Although Zhang Jin was unable to guess Yang Lin's goal, he understood that he could not provide Yang Lin with an excuse. As long as the Luoyang was not in chaos, Yang Lin would have no excuse to enter the Luoyang. And right now, he was most worried about Dong Zhuo. If Dong Zhuo entered the Luoyang, it would be impossible for him not to panic.
”You're right, that's exactly what I meant.” This time, He Jin and Zhang Jin were indeed thinking the same thing. This Dong Zhuo, was indeed the cause of disaster. I immediately request the empress dowager to issue an order for him to scram back to Liang Zhou. ”
”Great General, Dong Zhuo has already disobeyed the imperial edict many times. He is not some loyal person, just the imperial edict cannot stop him.” Zhang Jin thought for a while, before coming up with an idea for He Jin, ”Let Physician Jia Zheng turn to Shao, his grandfather, Zhu Song, is the former owner of Dong Zhuo, so Dong Zhuo does not dare to not give him face.
”Good idea, I'll let Shao announce it.” Dong Zhuo had once received the summon of Zu Song, and was the official of Zu Song, and Zu Shao was the grandson of Zu Song. According to the rules of the officials, the head of the Zong Clan was regarded as the leader, and Zu Song was extremely prestigious in the West Cold, so Dong Zhuo would never offend Zu Shao.
”Great General recommends the famous scholar Tian Feng of Jizhou to assume the positions of Jizhou and County Commander so that they can start military operations in both the Jidao Prefecture and the Yue Clan Prefecture, gather food and decide on the location of Army of Montenegro. For the sake of building trust between Great General, I have already agreed on behalf of Great General, what does Great General think? ” Seeing that He Jin wanted the emperor to give the order, Zhang Jin immediately remembered Yang Lin's request.
”It's just two field officers, I agree.” He Jin did not place the two field officers in his eyes, and he thought of another person and asked: ”Prepare a few Recital for me, and remove the commander in chief Yuan Shao from his duties, and let him assume the position of directly transferred field officer, and let Sanglang Wang Yun assume the position of Henan Yin, and let Lieutenant Wu Meng Ding Yuan hold the position of gold manager, Mu Dong Zhuo become the commander of the field officer, and Union State Mu Mu Dong Zhuo will become the leader of the Liang Zhou.”
Hearing that, Zhang Jin understood what He Jin meant. He Jin had already lost trust in Yuan Shao, so without his military duties, he controlled his entire battalion. He could only supervise the capital and the local Ombudsman. Although his status was high, his actual authority was down.
He Jin stood outside the palace gates and looked at the majestic and imposing palace. A smile involuntarily surfaced on his face as he slightly straightened his tired body. Ever since the death of the first emperor, he was frightened by Jian Shuo and didn't dare to take a single step into the Imperial Palace. But today, the empress dowager chased all the Chinese traditional medicine, Little Yellow Gate and the other eunuchs out of the palace. Only then did he dare to personally visit the Empress Dowager He.
When they arrived at the, he had an ugly expression on his face. She did not even let He Jin sit down, and had He Jin stand there. He Jin understood that the Empress Dowager He was angry at him, and had no choice but to smile and apologize.
Empress Dowager He's anger had not died down, and he allowed He Jin to speak modestly without stopping. After an unknown period of time, He Jin was truly speechless. She finally raised his head and laughed coldly: ”Has Great General's illness recovered? Why did you remember to come to the palace? ”
He Jin's face slightly flushed, he awkwardly shook his head, and did not even dare to look at Empress Dowager He, and only softly said: ”This subject's illness has not recovered, and he is still exhausted. But the nation's affairs are of the utmost importance, and this subject has no choice but to carry his illness and enter the palace. ”
”Great General is really quite sick … If you are sick, you can recruit all the generals of the world to come to the capital and threaten us orphans and widows! ” The Empress Dowager He laughed coldly and said angrily: ”Are you sure you want to control us both so that your condition can be cured?”
”The empress dowager is too serious, I've never thought of taking control of the imperial government, but Jian Shuo is conspiring against me, I'm worried that the Eunuch would be implicated, so I wanted to drive those eunuchs out of the palace to protect the empress dowager and the emperor, and calm down the anger of the Man of the World.” He Jin raised his head and said confidently.
Thinking about Jian Shuo's conspiracy, Empress Dowager He still had a lingering fear. However, in such a time of crisis, his own brother had actually hidden in the camp, and even the Imperial Palace did not dare enter, unable to help him at all. He couldn't help but become even more irritated: ”If we relied on you, perhaps we really would have been harmed by Jian Shuo. If it wasn't for hussar general, would you still dare to come to the Imperial Palace today? ”
”It is for your servant's sake, not mine.” He Jin hurriedly apologized and said with a low voice: ”It was precisely Jian Shuo's conspiracy that made me see the importance of building a strong army. That's why I'm recruiting foreign troops and recruits to ensure the peace of the Luoyang. ”
”Even if you want to recruit external forces and recruit new soldiers, you should also recruit loyal people like Yang Lin. But why did you bring a disaster like Dong Zhuo over? Don't you know that he has repeatedly disobeyed the decree, and even the first emperor cannot do anything about it? ” Thinking about Dong Zhuo, Empress Dowager He became even angrier.
