When it comes to the general He Jin, many people will preconceived that he is a straw bag who can only kill pigs because of "Romance of the Three Kingdoms". Can the straw bale worship the general? Can the straw bag make Yuan Shao, the "Fourth World and Three Dukes", bow down to his ears and make Cao Cao willing to be his minion? From the attitudes of Yuan Shao and Cao Cao, it can be seen that He Jin is not a simple person, and he is definitely not a straw bag in the eyes of ordinary people!
He Jin came from a humble background, and if it weren't for his sister, he wouldn't have had any chance to become a powerful general. There are two reasons why he can be a general, the first is that his sister became the empress of Emperor Ling of Han, and the other reason is that he chose to cooperate with the eunuchs led by the ten permanent servants. After the outbreak of the Yellow Turban, He Jin uncovered Ma Yuanyi's plot to make a rebellion in Beijing, and was made a marquis by Emperor Ling of Han, and by this time, He Jing's power had reached its peak. The scholars in the court were also attached to him, including Yuan Shao, who had the background of the fourth world and the third duke, and Cao Cao, who was eunuch but aspired to the world! And Liu Bei's teacher, Lu Zhi, such a famous man is also assisted by He Jin's side, so many capable people surround He Jin's side, is it because he is a straw bale and easy to control? Of course not! He Jin controls the power of the world and has the ability to influence the government, so all those who pursue ideas will inevitably choose to be close to him to achieve their goals.
The power in the late Eastern Han Dynasty was originally in the hands of relatives, eunuchs and scholars, among whom relatives and eunuchs loved and killed each other. Relatives often use eunuchs to control power, but after they take power, they are very disgusted with the background of cooperation with eunuchs, and in order to erase everything, they mix with celebrities and scholars. and tried in vain to completely whitewash himself by getting rid of the eunuchs, but often backfired, not only did he not get rid of the eunuchs, but he was killed by the eunuchs! Why is this so? The reason is that no matter how powerful the eunuchs are, they are nothing without the emperor, so for the emperor, the eunuchs are loyal courtiers, and the relatives are not, they will not forget that Wang Mang in the late Western Han Dynasty is a lesson from the past.
After He Jin became a general, he really stretched out his hand longer, Emperor Han Ling liked his youngest son Liu Xie, so he wanted to abolish Chang Liyoung, but in this way, He Jin and his sister Empress He would fall into a place of no return, and those who are now attached to He Jin will also leave him, and even worse, they will fall into the well, therefore, He Jin will never allow such a thing to happen. So Liu Xie's mother was poisoned, and the Empress Dowager Dong, who supported Liu Xie, was also eliminated, and with the support of He Jin, the young emperor Liu Wei succeeded to the throne smoothly. If He Jin didn't have a dim sum machine, how could he beat Liu Xie's mother Wang Meiren, and Emperor Han Ling's mother, Empress Dowager Dong? Originally, the ten permanent servants were attached to the Empress Dowager Dong, but when they saw the wind and steered, they thought that He Jin would win steadily, and the Empress Dowager Dong was not worth following, so they chose to take the initiative to surrender and became Queen He's servants. Therefore, the so-called loyalty of eunuchs, only ghosts will believe that they are loyal not to that person, but to the person who controls power, and the purpose is to protect their own interests.
In order to protect their own interests, they will also abandon their former friends and siblings. Jian Shuo was originally one of the ten permanent attendants, and he was also the head of the eight captains of the West Garden, the most trusted person of Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty, and the purpose of Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty to set up the eight captains of the West Garden was to balance the general He Jin. Therefore, Jian Shuo was placed in a position opposite to He Jin, and He Jin has always regarded Jian Shuo as a thorn in the eye and a thorn in the flesh, and he wants to kill him quickly. Zhang Rang saw what He Jin meant, and he said to the others: "Your Majesty is unreliable, the future will inevitably be He Jin in power, there is no contradiction between all of us and him, just Jian Shuo and he are opposed, in order to protect ourselves, we should kill Jian Shuo and go to He Jin!" The other attendants said worriedly, "Even if we kill Jian Shuo, what if He Jin doesn't accept us and wants to kill us all?" Zhang Rang smiled, "Do cats still eat fishy?" He Jin is just a butcher, their brothers and sisters without our help, how can they soar, the most taboo is to forget the roots, even if He Jin wants to get rid of us, but Queen He can be trusted, besides, He Jin's younger brother He Miao and his mother are greedy for money and profit, we bribe them with a lot of money, they must obey, how can they not succeed? ”
But Yuan Shao and Cao Cao are pretentious, and they have long looked at us unpleasantly, I am afraid that they will encourage He Jin to give us **! Zhang Rang paused, "Yuan Shao is so scheming that he can't make a big deal, but Cao Cao is a ruthless person, so he must be careful!" The reason why Zhang Rang said this was because Cao Cao once disguised himself and infiltrated his mansion and almost killed him. He wanted to kill Cao Cao, but Cao Cao was Cao Teng's grandson, the son of Taiwei Cao Song, and Taiwei Cao Song spent a lot of money to make amends for his son, so Zhang Rang didn't do it in the end. Jian Shuo was betrayed, and Zhang Rang and others used Jian Shuo's head to exchange for a short period of peace for themselves. Why? Because He Jin has already made up his mind to eradicate these unsightly eunuchs. It stands to reason that the general He Jin is already above 10,000 people under one person, why do you still look at these eunuchs unpleasantly?
Empress Dowager He and Young Emperor Liu Bian, the people they relied on in the court, except for He Jin is the ten permanent servants, the emperors who ascended the throne at the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty were mostly young, and they themselves were not able to get rid of the control of their relatives, so they relied on eunuchs and used eunuchs to compete for power with their relatives. The same is true for Empress Dowager He and Liu Wei, the ten permanent servants are used to check and balance power, otherwise He Jin will inevitably face the ** of power, and it is inevitable that there will be another Wang Mang! Although Empress Dowager He and He Jin are brothers and sisters, in the face of supreme power, family affection is not reliable at all, and if Empress Dowager He wants to maintain her son's power, she must contain her brother's power! And the people that the Empress Dowager He can rely on are only the ten permanent servants around her, which is also the reason why the general He Jin repeatedly proposed to his sister to eradicate the eunuchs, and the Empress Dowager He resolutely opposed, because in the opinion of the Empress Dowager He, the ten permanent servants are not the biggest threat to herself, but the biggest threat is He Jin, and those famous and famous people around him, these people are famous and ambitious, taking advantage of the opportunity when the emperor is young and cannot personally control power, they all want to get involved in power!
General, the ten permanent servants are in trouble in the world, and it has long been known to the world, if these eunuchs are not removed, the world will not be able to get peace, you must make up your mind and persuade the queen mother to make a decision to cut off these eunuchs! Yuan Shao's rhetoric was fierce, he wanted He Jin to make a decision early, because the young emperor Liu Wei was young, as long as the ten permanent servants were cut off, the power of the court and government would be under He Jin's control, and He Jin came from a humble background, and he must rely on the support of the family, that is, he must rely on the Yuan family, don't forget Yuan Shao's uncle Yuan Kui, who was one of the three princes at this time. Seizing power from the hands of the eunuchs is actually seizing power from the hands of the emperor, Yuan Shao did not say anything about this, but He Jin's psychology is clear. "But the Queen Mother won't allow you to do anything? He Jin showed a very helpless expression, his meaning was very clear, I wanted to get rid of the eunuchs, but my sister didn't agree, and I couldn't do it!
In He Jin's mind, he had already dreamed of being the second Wang Mang, but he only saw Wang Mang's achievements, but ignored Wang Mang's ability. Compared with Wang Mang, he is too far and too far behind, and he is not even worthy of carrying shoes for others! At this time, Yuan Shao's thoughts in his mind were completely different from what He Jin thought, in his eyes, He Jin was just a pig killer, and the ten permanent servants were just some slaves, how could he be compared with a noble family like himself, "Four Worlds and Three Princes"? It's best to let this pig killer finish with the ten permanent servants, and let the family dominate everything. As for Cao Cao, his situation is a bit special, he is not a big family, but Cao Cao is a very pursuing person, he knows that whether it is a relative or a eunuch, there is no future, and people can only rely on themselves.
Why did Yuan Shao come up with a good idea, that is, to transfer external forces into Beijing to kill the ten permanent servants. "Don't do that, the army of the tiger and wolf in the feudal town, let them enter the capital, isn't it worse? Besides, eunuchs are easy to deal with, and a butcher can cut them down! He Jin snorted coldly, looked at Cao Cao and said, "Meng De, you said it so easily!" Is it because you are a eunuch, so you can't bear to do it? "You! Cao Cao was so angry that he couldn't speak, and after he walked out of He Jin's mansion, he couldn't help but look up to the sky and sighed: "The chaos in the world must be He Jin!" ”
The news of Dong Zhuo's entry into Beijing spread far and wide, of course, in addition to Dong Zhuo, He Jin also recruited many people, the purpose of this is to avoid Dong Zhuo's family from becoming dominant, so He Jin is not a straw bag. But he underestimated the determination of the Ten Standing Servants to break the cauldron, and in the face of the threat, they decided to strike first and use Empress Dowager He's edict to recruit He Jin into the palace. After He Jin walked into the palace gate, the gate was immediately closed, and many eunuchs poured out of the surroundings to take him as the main one. But when he saw the bright sword in the hands of Zhang Rang and others, he didn't care about a little apprehension, he said loudly: "I am a general, I control the military power of the world, you dog eunuchs dare to help me!" Zhang Rang sneered and said, "What ability do you have as a pig killer?" If we hadn't looked up to you, how could you brothers and sisters have ascended to heaven? Do you think you can do it now that you are ungrateful, and want to drive us all to extinction? ”
Don't talk nonsense with him! The eunuchs couldn't hold it anymore, they picked up the sword in their hands and chopped He Jin into meat sauce! When He Jin's head was thrown out of the palace, Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu finally had an excuse, they broke through the palace gate, and after entering the palace, they killed everyone they met, and the eunuchs were completely eradicated. As for He Jin, Brother Yuan had already forgotten him outside the clouds, He Jin was just a stepping stone for Yuan Shao and others to move towards the heavenly level, but what Yuan Shao didn't expect was that Dong Zhuo, who came from the northwest, was not only ruthless, but also powerful, and drove him, the host, to the Bohai Sea!
Therefore, He Jin is not a straw bag, he is just a victim of the entanglement of interests in the late Eastern Han Dynasty, a person who is inspired to go further, and even wants to be Wang Mang's second, in the calculation of the family, the distrust of the queen, the anger of Cao Cao, and the desperate fight of the ten permanent servants, and finally came to an end.
