Chapter 426 The fierce conflict between the He brothers

Not only the ten eunuchs, but hundreds of eunuchs cried and finally left the palace silently under everyone's cold eyes...

The General's Mansion was brightly lit and the crowded people were roaring. Everyone was excited to say that they had a great victory today. Yuan Shao slapped a few small tables with a few wine bottles, stood up, and the hall, which was originally buzzing, suddenly became quiet.

"Everyone knows that eunuch slaves are harming the country and the people. There are countless scholars who are honest and righteous at the hands of such evil thieves. If they do not kill them in one fell swoop, how could the scholars in the world be willing to be in the court?"

As soon as the words fell, Wang Yun, who had a great revenge with Zhang Rang, stood up to respond.

"Benchu ​​said right. The eunuch party has been causing trouble for the world for a long time. If these thieves are eliminated, how can the world's hostility be calmed down?"

The two of them spoke, and the hall was full of buzzing and agreeing. Cao Cao in the crowd frowned, stood up and nodded, clasped his fists and spoke.

"Cao thinks that the giant thief of the country should be killed by national laws, so that the people of the world can convince the general and be fair!"

"good!"

He Jin suddenly stood up.

"Originally, Zishi is the most honest and fair. In the great dynasty tomorrow, I will recommend two great talents to the court to supervise the illegality of the eunuch party, and will definitely eliminate all the thieves of the country in one fell swoop!"

He Jin said, and the hall nodded and applauded. Even Wang Yun seemed to be extremely satisfied. Yuan Shao frowned inexplicably, and Cao Cao's expression was even more strange, but for a moment.

Everyone was very excited. The eunuchs who had bullied the scholars for decades were finally wiped out. One or twenty people drank for the middle of the night. He Jincai was drunk and sent people away. As for the curfew...

"hehe……"

He Jin was happy and helped his maid down to the back house, but unexpectedly saw his younger brother standing in the yard.

"Shuda, why haven't you gone to rest yet?"

He Miao didn't know what he felt in his heart, so he silently waved his maid back and helped him to the study alone.

"Brother, have you forgotten that our brothers are just the sons of the Tu family in Wancheng?"

When they were in the hall, everyone flattered themselves. He Jin was feeling happy when he suddenly heard He Miao's words, his face felt a little unhappy.

"You won't let those eunuchs go again, are you?"

"Damn it!"

He Jin scolded him unhappily, and He Miao sighed in his heart, but he still spoke while supporting him.

"You and my brothers are all poor butchers in Wancheng. If it weren't for Zhang Rang, Guo Sheng and others, how could you and I have the wealth and honor today?"

When He Jin heard this, he felt displeased. He waved his arm and broke free. Perhaps he had drunk too much alcohol and had been allowed to use too much effort. If He Miao hadn't reacted faster, he would have fallen to the ground.

"My brother doesn't want to listen to the past, so Shuda won't say this anymore. My brother is a general, so he must know how much money and food it costs every month. If the eunuchs don't sell officials everywhere to make money, how can my brother support the soldiers in the West Garden?"

"There is no money in the treasury. Even if the brother killed Zhang Rang, Zhao Zhong and others, how long can the money in their family support the soldiers in Xiyuan? The court officials have to pay their salaries, and the palace needs money and grain to support them. Where does the money come from?"

"Without Zhang Rang, eunuchs like Zhao Zhong make money everywhere. Do you want your brothers to plunder money? If you and my brothers really do this, how would the ministers in the court agree? You and I are all the sons of the Wancheng family, how can we face the dissatisfaction of the nobles and the people of the world?"

He Jin's brows became more and more frowning, and after a while...

"Don't talk about it, why do you have no money to do with Brother Wei? These are all Situ and Sikong's affairs!"

He Miao felt disappointed. How could the soldiers be satisfied without money and food? The He family has gained the power of the general today, and what should they do tomorrow? He sighed in his heart, but he still persuaded him again.

"Brother, can you spare Zhang Rang, Zhao Zhong and others? Even if you ask them to use money to atone for their sins, you will become a commoner from now on."

He Jin said unhappily: "If you and my brother let them go, how could the scholars of all the people in the world be satisfied?"

He Miao suddenly let go of He Jin's arm, and there was a little displeasure on his face.

"Brother, are you really going to push the He family to a dead end?"

"Dead Way? Shuda! Do you know what you are talking about-"

He Jin was furious.

"You are right. You and my brothers are both lowly butchers in Wancheng! It is precisely because you and I are both butchers, that is, we need the recognition of literati in the world! Only in this way can you and I be regarded by others! Only in this way can my He family become a famous family from now on-"

He Jin was furious, and He Miao was silent with a cold face...

"Brother, can you let Zhang Rang, Zhao Zhong and others go?"

"A group of eunuchs who are harming the country and the people, Shuda, why are you..."

"Because they die...you and I have to die--"

He Miao suddenly became furious. The Empress Dowager's sister had made it clear that Jian Shuo could be killed, but the general must be two!

One is the same as the other is the same as the other!

He Miao was afraid. Ding Yuan was threatening to burn the Yellow River ferry crossings, and under the pressure of so many ministers, the empress dowager's own sister still protected the lives of a group of eunuchs in this way. He was really afraid that one day, his own sister and nephew ordered the slaughter of the He family.

"Brother..."

He Miao's tone was relieved a little.

"Zhang Rang, Zhao Zhong, Duan Gui and others have been driven out of the palace by their eldest sister, and they will also be with ordinary people in the future. Brother Ruo really wants their lives and just find someone to kill them in private..."

Speaking of this, He Miao smiled bitterly and shook his head.

"The second brother pleads for them not only because the second sister married Zhang Feng, but also because they helped you and my brother many times, but more... more because of the lives of my old and young family!"

"You and I can't compare with Dou Xian, Deng Qi, Yan Xian, Liang Ji, Dou Wu, which of those people is not a famous family? Which one is not a powerful general, and which one is not a family that has been destroyed?"

"General Dou Xian, Deng Qi, Yan Xian, Liang Ji, Dou Wu, they are all like you and my brothers. They all have the daughter of the Empress Dowager in the Palace, but which of them died at the hands of the emperor?"

He Miao sighed, "Why are the eldest sister repeatedly insisting on protecting the eunuchs in the inner court? Are you worried that your brothers and I are too powerful and threatening the eldest sister and Bian'er's life and death?"

He Jin suddenly raised his eyebrows and said unhappily: "What does Shuda mean? When did you and my brothers behave against the eldest sister and Bian'er?"

He Miao nodded silently and said, "You and my brother did not say such ruthless words, but the eldest brother was determined to kill Zhang Rang, Duan Gui and others! And they were eunuchs that the eldest sister wanted to protect!"

"Shuda, you..."

"Brother!"

He Miao suddenly raised his voice.

"If the eldest sister wants to kill me, no matter whether it is because of my corruption or not, the eldest sister wants to kill me, and my brother is determined to save my life. If the eldest sister and the ministers want to kill me, what will the brother do? How do you think? If I die, the elder sister will still have the face to continue to be a general in the future, but still have the face to stay in the court-"

...

"snort!"

"Your Majesty has just ascended the throne, and the eldest sister has just become the Queen Mother of the Curtain. If even an old slave around you can't protect him, where is the majesty of the eldest sister and Bian'er?"

"Who will be the emperor of the Han Dynasty in the future--"

"Is it my brother or Bian'er-"

...

"Brother wants to kill Zhang Rang, Zhao Zhong, Duan Gui and others. If the eldest sister agreed at the beginning, she would kill her. But if the eldest sister disagreed, you and my brothers can't do it easily!"

"If you and I are determined to go against my eldest sister today, Bian'er, the treasury has no money, and His Majesty's small treasury is already empty. As my brother said, it is Prime Minister Situ's responsibility, and it is the Grand Minister's farmer who cannot collect taxes. However, the twenties and thirty thousand soldiers in the West Garden do not think so, and the soldiers guarding the gate inside and outside the palace do not think so! The soldiers will only reach out to ask you and me for it!"

"Situ Ding Gong just had no money, and the Siyuan Cao Song opened the warehouse and let his elder brother get it. At that time, tens of thousands of soldiers raised their knives to ask you and I asked for money and grain, what should I do with my brother?"

"If soldiers in Luoyang cause trouble, all officials will impeach you and me. My eldest sister, Bian'er just doesn't want to speak for you and me, so what should he do--"

He Jin opened his mouth, not to mention that the remnants of the Yellow Turbans had not been completely eliminated in various places, nor did he mention Dong Hu. The Dong Mao brothers occupied the Liangbing land, and the current Luoyang troops were not something that the court could support!

If you say a thousand words, ten thousand will not be able to raise your troops without money. Unless the West Garden immediately dispersed 70% of the troops, the tens of thousands of Han soldiers in Huangfu Song's hands must also disperse immediately. Only by dispersing these troops can the poor financial affairs of the Han Dynasty barely maintain the status quo. But if this is true, the military power of the general He Jin is not as good as a deputy general under Dong Hu. If it really falls to this point, is He Jin still a general?

If the troops in Xiyuan are not disbanded, there must be a "black-faced" person who will plunder money. Whether the party and the party have confiscated the family wealth of the Qingliu Party or sold officials to plunder the people's money, the court must have a plundering of money everywhere before the court has opened up a source of wealth that does not harm the people's money.

Seeing that He Jin finally hesitated, He Miao once again persuaded him.

"The eldest sister has agreed to her brother. Without Zhang Rang and Duan Gui and others, her brother is already a general. Why should she take the blame like this? You and I will also be called a loner and righteous person because of this. What's the benefit of your reputation?"

"It's better not to say these things, but I'll talk about the reality in front of me. The Siongfu treasury has no money and food, and His Majesty's Wanjin Hall is empty, and the court has no money and money available. If you and my brothers kill all Zhang Rang and others today, if you and my brothers really have no money and food and let the soldiers cause chaos, what should you and my brothers do?"

He Jin understood He Miao's concerns. With the support of civil and military officials in the foreign court, he could win the final victory, but this was just a battle for the power of the empire. The fiscal revenue of the collapse of the empire is a reality and an extremely fatal thing!

The emperor's sale of official positions was not Liu Hong's patent, it was just that Liu Hong sold official positions unscrupulously. The fundamental reason was that the empire's poor finances.

If you want money and people, you need people. Such power is the real right. But if you don’t have people and money, it is not a right, but a pit that makes people cut with your neck!

He Jin hesitated, and all the civil and military officials in the court were disgusted with eunuchs' power and were greedy for money, but they had to admit that while these guys were greedy for money, they also sent a lot of money to the emperor's inner treasury, and these money turned into soldiers who supported the eighth camp in the West Garden. Once these eunuchs were killed, where would the money come from in the future?

"well……"

He Jin sighed secretly in his heart, and finally nodded silently.

"If those eunuchs are willing to give up their power completely, brothers... can spare them not to die."

Seeing that he finally gave up his murderous idea, He Miao also felt relieved.

"Although killing Zhang Rang, Zhao Zhong and others can be praised by scholars in the world, it is not that simple to govern the world. Our dynasty is at a time when internal and external troubles are at a time, it is better to be more secure."
