This time He Jin refused to give in.

"Why? They were ordered by His Majesty himself to protect me. They must follow me in."

Fengyun didn't expect that Jian Shuo wouldn't even let him bring in such a small number of people. He felt that Jian Shuo was not someone who could accomplish big things.

If He Jin backed down in the end, all this arrangement would have been in vain.

So he immediately sent a pigeon letter to Zhang Rang, asking him to let He Jin in.

Only then did He Jin proudly go in with his personal guards.

He Jin then gave him a look that said, "You know what's good for you."

But when the door slowly closed, everyone clearly heard shouting from behind the door.

But soon there was no movement.

Just when they thought something had happened, Jian Shuo on the city wall suddenly announced loudly:

"The traitor He Jin, who led his troops to forcibly break into the Imperial Palace without authorization, has now been strangled by me, Jian Shuo. Why don't you disperse immediately? Are you in cahoots with He Jin?"

Now these family members who had been so aggressive just now were suddenly confused.

General He was killed without any chance of fighting back.

And now they are still waiting outside the city.

But some people realized that something was wrong, and Cao Cao and Yuan Shao immediately wanted to rush in and attack.

But was stopped by the wind and clouds,

"Don't be impulsive, let's go back and discuss it carefully."

"But the general..."

Fengyun was not afraid that they would go to their deaths. The time of their death had not come yet, and they would not die today.

"It was our negligence. No one expected these eunuchs to do this. If we charge in now, we will be labeled as traitors."

Now the two of them calmed down, while the others had already been stunned by Jian Shuo's words.

There are not only the Imperial Guards but also the Xiyuan Cavalry in the imperial city. It can be said that no one can shake the Ten Eunuchs now.

By the time the three of them retreated, everyone outside the imperial city had fled.

After reaching a safe place, Yuan Shao beat his chest and stamped his feet.

"These damn eunuchs are lawless."

"Brother Benchu, there's no point getting angry now. We need to first think about what the purpose of these eunuchs doing this is..."

"What else could it be? They simply don't want He Jin to become the new emperor's uncle."

Everyone in Luoyang was well aware of this, and the conflict between He Jin and the Ten Attendants had almost become public.

But none of them expected that these people would actually kill people directly.

"This will surely shake up the government and the country. Let's just wait and see what happens. I'm sure your elders will file a complaint with the emperor tomorrow."

There was no way the three of them could get involved in this matter. Cao Cao and Yuan Shao were in no mood to stay any longer, so they each went back home.

Fengyun is now a little worried whether Zhang Rang will regard him as his ally.

He didn't want to get too close to Zhang Rang.

But he didn't have to worry, because Zhang Rang contacted him after all.

"Hahaha, Brother Fengyun, this time it's all thanks to you. We now control the entire imperial city. Not even an ant can escape our control."

"Then congratulations, Master Zhang."

Fengyun didn't want to talk to him in the first place, so he just said this perfunctorily.

Little did he know that Zhang Rang had other purposes.

"You're the one we should be most grateful to this time. We think Luoyang still needs a powerful figure to control it, and I think you, Brother Fengyun, would be a good fit. We'd like you to serve as the Praefectus Urbi. What do you think?"

This position has always belonged to the Yuan family.

If he were to take over, wouldn't that offend the Yuan family?

And he won't be in power for long, as Dong Zhuo will be here soon.

At that time, there will inevitably be a conflict with Dong Zhuo, and he will definitely offend Dong Zhuo completely.

But if he were to side with Dong Zhuo, it would be a stain on his life.

So I decisively refused:

"Master Zhang, I truly do not have the ability to serve as the Praefectus Urbi. If you truly wish to repay this favor, then please give Jian'an to me."

If you don't use favors, they will expire.

Fengyun certainly understood this since it was Zhang Rang who took the initiative to propose it this time.

That small county magistrate would probably agree.

Sure enough, Zhang Rang agreed.

"Okay, you can go to Jian'an to take up your post tomorrow."

Zhang Rang was very decisive. If he couldn't fulfill this small wish, then killing He Jin would be in vain.

"But this is really a waste of your talent. Don't you really want to become the Praefectus Urbi?"

Feng Yun said decisively: "The capital is a troubled place, so it's better for me to stay a while longer. I plan to return to Jian'an today."

In order to clear himself, Fengyun plans to leave the capital this time and come back the next time Dong Zhuo comes to the capital.

This time, Jian'an City can finally become his own territory.

…

After Fengyun finished speaking, he went outside the city, summoned the Black Qilin and headed towards Jian'an.

On the back of the Black Qilin, he can continue to practice his skills and save on travel expenses.

At the morning meeting the next day, the ministers came to the palace with heavy hearts.

Everyone in the hall was very secretive about what happened yesterday. It was not that they did not want to discuss it, but they were being stared at by pairs of eyes on both sides of the hall and did not dare to speak out.

Afraid of becoming the next He Jin.

The hall looks completely different today.

In the past, the guards could only stand outside the door, but now the guards stand in rows inside the hall.

They may seem harmless, but they are all directly commanded by the Ten Attendants.

When all the ministers had arrived, Zhang Rang, who was at the top of the hall, shouted in a hoarse voice:

"If you have something to report, please do so. If not, please leave the court."

The two empress dowagers and the queen sitting on the dragon throne looked at the ministers below with no emotion.

Zhang Rang looked down with full confidence. Now that the overall situation was under his control, no one would dare to speak carelessly.

But he still underestimated the ministers' reckless determination.

Feng Fang, one of the Eight Commandants of Xiyuan, stepped out and said:

"Reporting to the Empress Dowager, I, Feng Fang, am suing the Upper Army Captain Jian Shuo for secretly killing General He who entered the palace yesterday."

As a sign of trust in His Majesty, Feng Fang could not stand by and watch the eunuch kill the general so blatantly.

"What!? The general is dead?"

After hearing the news of He Jin's death, Empress He stood up and immediately fainted on the ground.

He never imagined that his brother would be killed.

"Come here, arrest this Feng Fang and chop him up! He actually dared to protect the treasonous criminal He Jin."

Before Feng Fang could react, he was hacked to death by the executioners.

This time everyone was even more shocked.

These eunuchs are really lawless.

He actually dared to kill people in the hall just because of a disagreement.

If this continues, who would dare to speak freely in the court?

When Empress He was helped up and woke up again, she saw that the minister had disappeared and there was a pool of blood on the ground.
