Some people believe that He Jin's death will lead to chaos in the last years of the Eastern Han Dynasty, during the period of Emperor Xian of Han. In fact, this statement is inaccurate, He Jin is more like an introduction, only to give the straw the opportunity to crush the camel.
Just like the Chongzhen Emperor at the end of the Ming Dynasty, was Chongzhen the king of the subjugated country? Or did he cause the demise of the nation?
In fact, it is all, or the main reason is not in Chongzhen, so even the emperor cannot cause the collapse of the country and cause chaos in the world, let alone a small He Jin, so the main reason is not in He Jin.
Although the situation is different, the reason is the same. Every feudal dynasty has a lifespan limit, just like the periodic table, at a certain stage there must be, all kinds of problems, until the whole country can not afford, and finally to the end.
Among them, the inevitable problems are dictatorship, foreign relations, party strife, natural disasters, and man-made disasters. These problems have begun to show signs in the early Eastern Han Dynasty, but at that time, the country was at its peak, just like young people with strong resistance, and even if the general "disease" was not treated, it could not only be temporarily suppressed, but also would not affect the operation of the "body" function.
However, when people reach old age, it is inevitable that all kinds of illnesses will occur, and in the middle of the Eastern Han Dynasty, various "diseases" have begun to appear, such as the Northwest Qiang people disturbing the border, foreign relatives seizing, the shi clan forming parties for personal gain, and officials and eunuchs chaotic government.
In the middle and late period of the Eastern Han Dynasty, natural disasters increased in various places, which not only created a great burden on the imperial court, but also lost control of the external states under the internal and external troubles. At that time, it was not only because the people could not eat enough to eat, but also caused a peasant uprising, and the pastors in various prefectures also violated the yin and yang of the imperial court, and the soldiers in various places respected themselves and became a divided force.
At the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, the imperial power was extremely weak, and the Ling Emperor period was only barely maintained, allowing the various forces to control in a delicate balance, but after his death, this balance was directly broken, and the various forces fought with each other, and the Han Shao Emperor became a victim of the struggle between all parties, which was enough to prove how chaotic the situation was at that time.
Among them, Empress He, the great general He Jin, and the cheri general He Miao belonged to foreign forces. The Hao clan of the Shijia was headed by the Yuan clan of Runan, the Xun clan of Yingchuan, and the Yang clan of Hongnong, and the officials and eunuchs were headed by Zhao Zhong, Guo Sheng, Jian Shuo, and other ten permanent attendants. The hatred between the three forces has lasted for a hundred years, and in the absence of control, it is natural to fight.
Although they belong to the same camp, there are also many dirty people in private, and everyone has their own plans. For example, emperor Ling had a good idea before his death, and promoted Jian Shuo to a lieutenant in the military academy, that is, he wanted to use him as the leader to control the power of officials and eunuchs, plus the great general He Jin, which was enough to allow Emperor Shao of Han to ascend the throne smoothly.
However, fate was very strange, and Emperor Ling did not expect that Dong Zhuo had already infiltrated the imperial court at this time, and Li Ru, who was under Emperor Shao of Han, had already defected to Dong Zhuo and was poisoned by Emperor Shao of Han.
This led to the hundred officials of the DPRK and the harem officials and eunuchs having different thoughts, and a new round of fighting began in this empty window period, and Zhang Rang, Zhao Zhong, and other Zhongchang attendants turned to He Jin, but Jian Shuo was still in the dark.
After the death of Emperor Shao of Han, Jian Shuo obeyed the edict and wanted to support Emperor Xian of Han to ascend the throne, and He Jin was a force that had always advocated the killing of officials and eunuchs, and when the two sides fought, Jian Shuo was betrayed by his own people and naturally lost and died.
However, He Jin did not want to stop there, so he persuaded Empress He to kill all the officials and eunuchs, but Empress He and He Miao did not agree to the old feelings. Therefore, yuan shao joined forces to let Dong Zhuo enter the capital, and also gathered many military generals and asked them to bring troops.
However, this matter was leaked for some reason, and the official eunuch received the wind and reacted to understand that He Jin was unreliable, so they united to prepare for the fish to die and break the net, and killed He Jin when He Jin re-entered the palace and persuaded Empress He again.
This became the fuse, making things unmanageable, because the foreign forces wanted to take revenge, and the scholar group wanted to gain profits, so they first eliminated the official eunuch forces, of which more than two thousand people, young and old, did not leave a single one.
Afterwards, He Jinbu was resentful, and the che general He Miao approached the eunuchs and fought again, leaving only the Shi clan in the Korean and Chinese forces to suffer little damage. After that, I think everyone is also familiar with it, this matter is an opportunity for Dong Zhuo.
Although Dong Zhuo controlled the government of the dynasty, the means used were disgraceful, so there was no prestige, and the officials of the DPRK and the Chinese disobeyed him, plus most of the important positions in the DPRK and the Central Government were in the hands of the shi clan, which was also worthy of him.
Moreover, Dong Zhuo's holding of Tianzi was only nominally dominant, so even the princes of all sides looked down on him, and at the same time, the forces of all sides used the imperial court as a decoration to fight with each other and consume the last vitality of the country.
