In the early summer of the sixth year of Zhongping (189), the Emperor Ling was dying of illness. He planned to make Liu Xie, the prince of Wang Mei's life, as the prince. Jian Shuo, one of the ten permanent servants, said to the Lingdi at the bedside: "If you want to establish Liu Xie as the prince, you must kill the general He Jin first, so that the crown prince will be safe in the future." Lingdi heard Jian Shuo's words and immediately Send someone to announce that He will enter the palace.
This He Jin turned out to be a pig killer, because his sister is Queen He, who gave birth to the prince Liu Bian, He Jincai took power. Emperor He Jinzhi wanted to kill him, did not enter the palace, returned home, summoned the ministers to discuss how to kill the ten permanent attendants. At this time, the emperor died, He Jin ordered the lieutenant Yuan Shao to lead the five thousand imperial army into the palace, and in front of the coffin of the emperor, the crown prince Liu Bian succeeded to the throne.
Although Liu Bian became the emperor, the Queen Mother Dong, the mother of Lingdi, was not happy in her heart. The eunuch Zhang Rang, one of the ten permanent attendants, gave her an idea. Queen Mother Dong was overjoyed after hearing this. In the early morning of the court, Queen Mother Dong personally presided over the affairs of the court. He preached that the prince Liu Xie was named Chen Liu Wang, her brother Dong Zhong was named Hussar General, and Zhang Rang was asked to help her handle the affairs.
Emperor Liu Bian’s mother, Empress Dowager He, saw that Empress Dowager Dong was in control, but she was not happy in her heart. She thought of a strategy and put a table of wine in the palace. Later, he drank and persuaded the Queen Mother Dong to leave the country alone. Queen Mother Dong flushed and turned white with anger, and the two had a quarrel.
The Queen Mother was also angry. That night, he called his brother He Jin into the palace to discuss how to get rid of the Queen Mother Dong and Dong Zhong. The next day, He Jin ordered the Queen Mother Dong to be sent to the river outside the capital, and He Jin let the escorts secretly poison the Queen Mother Dong to death. He also surrounded the house of the Queen Mother Dong's brother Dong Zhong, and wanted to recover his official seal. Knowing that the matter was critical, Dong Zhong committed suicide in the back hall.
Yuan Shao persuaded He Jin to kill these eunuchs as early as possible. He Jin told Empress He of this idea, and Empress He was betting on Zhang Rang and others, but she disagreed. Yuan Shao offered to He Jin again, asking him to transfer troops from other places into Beijing to eliminate eunuchs. Chen Lin thought that this would cause trouble, so she tried her best to dissuade it. While speaking, Cao Cao flashed out from the side, clapped his hands and laughed.
He Jin asked Cao Cao why he was laughing. Cao Cao said"If you want to kill the eunuchs, you should first remove the eunuchs headed by them. Only one prison officer is enough. Why do you have to call in foreign soldiers?" He Jin was very angry when he heard it, and he berated Cao Cao for being selfish. Cao Cao retired, sighing and said: "Where the chaos of the world must be!"
The governor, Dong Zhuo, who was sent by the court to Xiliang, had 200,000 under him. The army is very ambitious.

So that the ministers of the court do not doubt him. Then he sent troops to the capital Luoyang.
When Zhang Rang heard about the arrival of soldiers from other places, he acted first and sent fifty swordsmen to ambush in the Jiademen of Changle Palace, so that Empress He would call He into the palace. The Queen Mother didn't know what the plan was, so she sent someone to announce that He entered the palace. He Jin consciously held the power of the world in his hands, and the ten permanent attendant did not dare to do anything to him, so he refused to listen to persuade and entered the palace. As soon as he entered the door, he was hacked to death.
Yuan Shao and Cao Cao who escorted He Jin into the palace waited for a long time outside the palace gate, but before seeing He coming in and out, they shouted outside the door: "Please get in the car, general!" At that time, He Jin's head was thrown out of the wall. Yuan Shao and Cao Cao were furious, brandishing their swords and screaming into the palace. They met the eunuchs and killed them all, regardless of their size. The flames in the palace burst into the sky.
Zhang Rang and other eunuchs hurriedly robbed Shao Di and King Chen Liu and fled from the harem, while the other members were all killed in this palace change. At the time of the third watch, he fled to the foot of Beiman Mountain. He heard the sound of killing. A team of people arrived in the fire.
