After hearing the prompt, Lin Han checked the time point of August 25, the sixth year of Zhongping.
It was finally confirmed that it was Dong Zhuo's entry into the capital.
Yuan Shao advised He Jin to order Dong Zhuo to come to the capital and kill the eunuchs, which eventually led to Dong Zhuo holding the emperor hostage to control the princes and causing chaos in the harem.
Lin Han knew that the system was preparing in advance for the next major event [Dong Zhuo enters Beijing].
From today until Dong Zhuo enters the capital, players with a lower status than the prefect will not be able to approach the residences of system officials and will not have the opportunity to communicate with high-ranking system officials. The system will cut off the practice of low-end players spoiling the game to Eastern Han officials.
However, the restriction only applies to players with official positions below the prefect. Players with official positions above the prefect are not subject to the restriction.
This means that Lin Han was the one who escaped the system restrictions this time.
Just like the Yellow Turban Rebellion, in this major event, he once again has the qualifications to influence the course of history, but if he wants to change it, the system will make corrections.
Soon, Cao Zhengchun came to report.
He Jin and Yuan Shao led their troops and surrounded the northeast gate of Luoyang, under the pretext of protecting Luoyang's safety.
Hearing this, Lin Han's expression changed slightly.
Outside the palace, the atmosphere was extremely tense.
The news of Emperor Ling of Han's death was announced when the Empress summoned all officials.
He Jin did not dare to enter the palace. At that time, he was in the Hundred Commanderies Residence, leading troops and horses to camp outside the city gate with Yuan Shao to intimidate Luoyang.
In fact, everyone knew that He Jin and Yuan Shao led their troops to the northeast gate of Luoyang in order to intimidate Jian Shuo and other factions.
If the matter of the throne is not to He Jin's liking, He Jin will choose to make a military remonstration.
People inside and outside the palace were in panic.
The death of Emperor Ling of Han was a major event. As soon as the news came out, Luoyang was besieged by troops led by Yuan Shao, the captain of the central army. Together with the troops of the general, the number of troops was greater than that of Jian Shuo's palace guards.
If there is a conflict, there will be bloodshed in both palaces.
"Master Xiao, what should we do?"
When Jian Shuo saw that He Jin's troops had surrounded the palace, he became as anxious as an ant on a hot pan.
He Jin came with great momentum, and I'm afraid it won't end well.
Pan Yin informed the court that the news that He Jin wanted to kill him had already spread among all the officials. The officials in the court had long been dissatisfied with the eunuchs' affairs, and they did not criticize He Jin's actions, but tacitly approved of him.
If He Jin were allowed to take power, he would surely die.
"There is only one way out now. You must disguise yourself and escape from the palace, or you will die. He Jin's original intention is to control the eight captains of the Western Garden. If you stay, you will surely die."
"General Xiao, is there no other choice?"
"No." Lin Han shook his head: "Now he holds great power. This time he led the army to besiege Luoyang. It seems that he wants your life, but in fact he is showing his authority to all officials. Liu Bian must ascend the throne, otherwise there will be bloodshed in the two palaces."
"This..." Jian Shuo said miserably: "General Xiao, I'm leaving."
"I'll send someone to take you there. Remember, hide your identity after leaving the palace. Wait until Liu Xie can ascend to the throne one day, then you can come out." Lin Han reminded.
"General Xiao, the Emperor knew that Liu Bian was frivolous and lacked dignity, and he wanted to establish Liu Xie as emperor. You are aware of this, and the will is still with Princess Wannian. I am loyal to the Emperor, which is why I have the intention to kill He Jin. After I leave, you must not let He Jin control the Imperial Guards. One day, you can still compete with him. Otherwise, the world will truly be ruled by the He family."
"I understand this."
Lin Han nodded and gave Cao Zhengchun a look. The latter understood and led Jian Shuo away.
An incense stick later, Cao Zhengchun came back with a bloody head in his hand. It was Jian Shuo. He looked unwilling to die and had his eyes open.
Jian Shuo must die. He is the only outsider besides the Queen Mother who knows that he entered the palace in secret. If he is allowed to escape and accidentally falls into He Jin's hands, Lin Han will be in danger of being exposed.
Lin Han didn't want to expose this matter to a fourth person and put himself in danger.
After getting Jian Shuo's head, Lin Han and Cao Zhengchun went to Changle Palace together.
In Changle Palace, there was weeping. Zhang Rang, led by the Ten Eunuchs, all knelt before He, begging her to protect them. They all knew that He Jin had besieged the palace.
"Your Majesty, the conspiracy to kill He Jin was all done by Jian Shuo alone. I and the others are completely unaware of it."
"Please spare my life, my lady."
"Please, Madam, spare my life."
"Yes, it was all done by Jian Shuo, and we were all unaware of it."
“…”
He was upset by the crying of Zhang Rang and others, and her brows were tightly furrowed. When she saw Lin Han and Cao Zhengchun coming, she immediately stopped the Ten Attendants from crying.
For a moment, the palace was dead silent.
"Your Majesty, I just saw Jian Shuo trying to escape, so I killed him and brought his head here."
Cao Zhengchun displayed the head wrapped in cloth, and the Ten Attendants who were still in the hall were immediately frightened and turned pale.
"Take it."
He was disgusted and asked Cao Zhengchun to put the head away. Then she waved to Zhang Rang and others, asking them to leave.
"I will tell my brother about your matter. Since the conspiracy to kill my brother has nothing to do with you, I will naturally protect you."
"Thank you, Madam. Thank you, Madam."
The Ten Eunuchs hurriedly left Changle Palace, fearing that He would change her mind.
After they left, He looked at Lin Han.
"General Xiao, did you kill Jian Shuo?"
"He wanted to escape from the palace, so we killed him to eliminate the threat forever." Lin Han replied, "Lord He has deployed his troops outside Luoyang. Jian Shuo once plotted to kill him, so he can't escape."
"I was just about to say this. Now that the Emperor has passed away, my brother has deployed his troops outside Luoyang. I'm afraid this move will be criticized."
"Your Majesty, Lord He's move is intended to intimidate the ministers and force Liu Bian to ascend the throne. Furthermore, Lord He's move is intended to control the Eight Commandants of Xiyuan and take away Jian Shuo's military power."
"Brother wants military power, just give it to him." He waved her hand and said.
"Your Majesty, I think this is inappropriate." Lin Han reminded.
