”But the general director, even if the hussar general went south, he wouldn't publicly speak up for us …” Song Dian was very clear that the people of the world hated eunuchs. For his reputation, even if Yang Lin wanted to help them, it was only to help them in secret.
”We don't need his public support. As long as he doesn't say anything, no one will dare to act rashly.” ”Zhang Fu was very confident that as long as all parties maintained their balance, he would have the chance to rise again.” Even if we fail, we will be closer to Hanoi than to Youzhou. ”
Hearing that, Song Dian's face immediately revealed a pleased smile. That's right, as long as Yang Lin's army reached Hanoi, even if they wanted to leave, it would be a lot closer. In addition, Hanoi and the Luoyang are very close, it would be convenient for them to return to the Imperial Palace in the future. ” Alright, we'll listen to the general director and stay in Luoyang for a while longer. ”
”We can't just sit there and wait for death. We need to think of a way to deal with He Jin and Yuan Xuan. It doesn't matter if Yuan Zhong pretended that He Jin wrote an official letter or not, we will still go around spreading news and instigating a fight between He Jin and Yuan Zhong. ” Chang was not an easy target; he would seize the opportunity to take the initiative.
”General director, I just received a piece of news.” Empress Dowager He's mother, wuyang Jun, came to Luoyang and is currently in the palace to visit her daughter. ” Just then, Li Yu, who had been silent all this time, suddenly said. Chief Steward, your daughter-in-law is her daughter, so you asked her to go and plead with his, so how can he not listen? ”
”Good idea!” Upon hearing that the wuyang Jun had arrived, Zhang Liang was immediately beaming with joy. As long as he could think of a way to meet the wuyang Jun, he would definitely be able to persuade the Empress Dowager He and even He Jin. Even if he wouldn't be able to bring the Eunuch back to the Imperial Palace, at the very least, he would be able to make He Jin stop killing eunuchs. Oh heavens … You really haven't forgotten about us. ”
Zhang Jean and wuyang Jun were old acquaintances, and his daughter-in-law was the daughter of the wuyang Jun, and his sister. Although Zhang Rong was a eunuch, all of the Eunuch had adopted sons, and just like a normal person, he had children and grandchildren.
Normally, Zhang Jean would not hesitate to smile in front of his juniors and would always put on a solemn face. But today, he came before daughter-in-law for the sake of these eunuchs. Without caring about the old man's inferiority, he kneeled in front of the daughter-in-law and cried out in pain.
”Now that I have committed the crime, my whole family should return to my hometown. Thinking of how my family had been blessed by the emperor for generations, and now had to leave the palace, he felt a great reluctance. I am willing to enter the palace and wait upon her once more so that I may see her for the time being, accept her colors, and then retreat into the ravine. I shall have no more grudges after my death! ”
”Lord Father, please get up. Lord Father, quickly get up.” Zhang Gong's kneeling caused the daughter-in-law to be extremely frightened. In this extremely feudal society, filial piety came first. Making one's own elders kneel was a capital offense.
”Do you know? Yuan Shao, this bastard, is trying to kill all the eunuchs who are returning to their hometown outside the Luoyang City, and Great General is ordering all the families and clans of the prefecture to arrest all the eunuchs. Now that you are also a member of the eunuch's family, they will not let you go … Your mother, wuyang Jun, is already in Luoyang. I am old, and it is not a pity that I am dead. But you are still young … ”Your grandson is still young …”
It was unknown whether it was because he was truly moved by the feelings, or because his acting was too brilliant, but even he himself was touched as he cried. For all these years, he had relied on this set of skills to avoid danger in front of the Hanling Emperor Liu Hong.
When the daughter-in-law heard this, she was both scared and annoyed. Grand General Ho Jin capturing the family and clan of an eunuch, isn't this the same as capturing himself? ”In order to curry favor with the eunuchs, you once married me to the son of a eunuch, and now you have turned hostile.” I will go to the palace and look for Her Majesty. ”
The reason the wuyang Jun came to the Luoyang was to pick queens for the Young Emperor. The Young Emperor was already fourteen years old and at the age of marriage, but the empress had yet to make a decision. It was a small issue for the emperor to take in as many concubines as he wanted, but it was a huge issue for him to choose the empress of a mother to rule the world.
That afternoon, the mother and daughter pair were in Changqiu Palace discussing about the Young Emperor's marriage when a palace maid suddenly came to report that the empress dowager's sister had come. wuyang Jun thought that his own daughter was here to see his mother, but unexpectedly, her daughter angrily walked in, and the moment she entered the door, she immediately kneeled down, and started speaking angrily.
”Empress Dowager, I am also a prisoner. Arrest me now, lest you send more people to my house to capture me. ”If the neighbors saw it, they would see me in the dark and lose face for the empress dowager.”
”Who said they wanted to capture you?” Not only was Empress Dowager He shocked, even he was confused. ”Who dares to capture the empress dowager's sister in such a big Darky Court?” Which bastard did you hear that from? Who had the guts to capture my sister after eating the heartfelt cheetah? ”
”Who else? Isn't that our big brother Great General? Not only did he send people to massacre the eunuchs who had returned to their hometowns outside the Luoyang City, he also ordered the various prefecture palaces to apprehend their eunuchs' families and clans. You married me to the son of a eunuch, and now you want to kill me. Mother, am I not your biological daughter? ”
Empress Dowager He's sister would not cry like Zhang Jean, but he would righteously criticize wuyang Jun and Empress Dowager He. At that time, He Jin was the one who married her to Zhang Jean's son. You're all happy now, why am I hurt?
