Someone reminded him beforehand that the great general He Jin held the military power, why did he still die at the hands of the Ten Constant Attendants?
【Interpretation of Classic Masterpieces: "Three Kingdoms" Series Articles: 006】
Sun Jian and Liu Bei were credited with the Yellow Turban Rebellion, and Ban Shi returned to the dynasty.
His superior, Zhu Juan, was promoted to che riding general, Henan Yin. Under the same circumstances, Sun Jian was also promoted and appointed as sima of other counties.
Only Liu Xuande, day and night, did not see the rewards and appointments of the eastern Han rulers.
The same effort to 'bleed and sweat, to play a counter-insurgency has merit ... Everyone else was rewarded for their deeds, but the future of themselves and their brothers was lost.
"There is wine in the house for hospitality, and there are people in the DPRK who are good officials." When Liu Guanzhang's three people were depressed in their hearts, they did not know that not only did they have no officials in the DPRK, but also people were making trouble for them.
Those who did not help Liu Bei to add to the chaos were Zhang Rang, who was favored by the Han Ling Emperor, and 10 other eunuchs, known as the "Ten Constant Attendants".
The eunuchs who rebelled at the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty were like "tumblers", and they could win the support of the emperor at the suggestion of the officials in the middle of the dynasty.
In the end, the invitation of the upright officials not only failed to push down the ten permanent attendants, but also provoked the fire. These officials either returned to their hometowns or were persecuted to death.
In the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, the most stark contrast is between Liu Bei and the Ten Constant Attendants.
Liu Bei was not promoted by the imperial court, but the Ten Constant Attendants and others were all given the title of prince and marquis one by one. In order not to arouse the anger of the public, the Ten Constant Attendants still "took care" of the land award to Liu Bei with a county order of Anxi County in Zhongshan Province, Dingzhou.
Compared with the later general He Jin, Liu Bei was much more "lucky". Before Emperor Hanling died of illness, he summoned the great general He into the palace to discuss the aftermath and get involved in the dispute over the situation.
He Jin did not listen to the advice of Yuan Jie and Cao Cao, and rushed into the palace alone, where he was brutally hacked to death by the Ten Constant Attendants.
Then, why was He Jin, who was entrusted by Emperor Han Ling's illness as a lonely vassal, and who had his own sister give birth to a prince and was made empress, why was he mutilated by ten eunuchs? Combined with the original work of "Romance of the Three Kingdoms", today's "Source Yiyuan" will briefly talk about this topic:
The First and Tenth Constant Attendants are deeply rooted
Over the years, the ten permanent attendants had accumulated a lot of resources, and coupled with the fact that they were favored by the Han Ling Emperor, the eunuchs were even more fearless.
In particular, in the struggle between the two forces of good and evil, first Cai Yilang suggested that the emperor get rid of the eunuchs who had interfered in power and politics, but he was convicted and released to his hometown...
Later, there were Lang Zhang Junche, Liu Tao, the Great Situ Chen Yi and others who risked death to direct advice: the ten permanent attendants sold the official Qijue, nepotism, and acted recklessly, which led to the revolt of the Yellow Turban Army, and the world was in danger...
The patriotic hearts and enthusiasm of the loyal ministers did not have the support of the Han Ling Emperor, and these courtiers who advised them were instead encountered the black hands of the Ten Permanent Attendants and other black hands, and none of them could end well.
Emperor Hanling's excessive favor for the Ten Constant Attendants, as well as his one-sidedness at critical times, undoubtedly contributed to the prestige and power of the eunuchs.
Later, the Ten Permanent Attendants and others successively made kings and marquises, and still held heavy powers, but if they did not obey themselves, they would kill them, and their power should not be underestimated.
Second, he jin is not secretive
The eunuchs such as the Ten Permanent Attendants were in turmoil, and He Jin, as a great general, also wanted to get rid of them!
The Ten Constant Attendants also found Empress Dong, the mother of Emperor Hanling and the adoptive mother of the Crown Prince Xie, as a patron. Some eunuchs also suggested: If you want the crown prince to be made crown prince, you must first condemn He Jin before you can avoid any trouble.
The contradiction between the empress dowager and Empress He was open and the quarrel was incriminating. He Jin sent someone to assassinate Empress Dong.
"The power of eunuchs originated earlier and spread in the DPRK for a long time, so how can they all be killed in one net?"
He Jin made up his mind to kill the Ten Constant Attendants, Sima Panzhu, Cao Cao, Yuan Shao, and others, and suggested that it must be done in secret, so as not to hit the grass and startle the snake. If things are not kept secret, there will be the scourge of extinction.
However, He Jin openly summoned Dong Zhuo's army and other foreign soldiers to enter the dynasty, hoping to kill the eunuchs.
The Ten Permanent Attendants all knew that He Jin was going to attack them next, so in a state of trepidation, they discussed a poisonous plan together.
Third, He Jin was overconfident
The Ten Constant Attendants first arranged for 50 sword and axe bearers to be secretly hidden inside the Jiade Gate of the Anle Palace. Together, they found Empress He and confessed their hearts: they wanted to apologize to General He and ask her to take pity and save her.
Without knowing the truth, Empress He was deceived, and Xuan He marched into the palace.
Cao Cao listened, knew that it was the plan of the Ten Constant Attendants, and advised He Jin not to rush forward. Even if you go, you must let the ten permanent attendants leave the palace, or lead the elite soldiers to go.
He Jin laughed: This is a child's opinion! Later, He Jin entered the palace alone with his head held high, and it did not take long for him to be surrounded by Zhang Rang and other ambush soldiers, and his head was also thrown from under the palace gate.
In the original work of the "Romance of the Three Kingdoms", some people wrote poems without regret and said: The Han Room is in danger for several days, and there is no plot to enter the three dukes. If you do not listen to the advice of your loyal subjects several times, it is inevitable that the palace will be attacked by the sword.
As soon as He Jin died, although Yuan Shao and Cao Cao and others entered the palace to kill the Ten Constant Servants and one party, Dong Zhuo's Tiger and Wolf Division had already entered the capital, and at the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, there was greater political turmoil and the Three Kingdoms Dispute began.
This is exactly what it is: long hate people's hearts are not as good as water, waiting for idle waves.
