是時，靈帝新棄羣臣，大行尚在梓宫，大將軍何進與佐軍校尉袁紹等共謀欲誅廢中官。 Emperor Ling had just died; his bier still stood in the palace when He Jin the general-in-chief and Yuan Shao, an assistant commandant of the army, conspired to slaughter the eunuchs and strip them of office.

下文陵畢，中常侍張讓等共殺進，兵戰京都，死者數千。 Once Emperor Ling had been interred at Wenling, Zhang Rang and his fellow eunuchs cut down He Jin; Luoyang erupted in street fighting and thousands died.
