Chapter 109: After eating, the upper house eats the next house

After Dong Zhuo enters Beijing, how will he operate to divide the spoils and depose the emperor?

The question is simple and difficult.

It's easy to say because even people who have only watched "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" three times will feel that they can answer it.

It's hard to say, but when Li Su personally experienced it, personally participated in the celebration banquet of the Pingshi Changshi Rebellion in Wenmingyuan, and chatted with Dong Zhuo a little bit at the banquet, he found that there were still too many mysteries that had been omitted from history.

Let's just say one thing: Dong Zhuo bought Lu Bu to kill Ding Yuan, and the people on the earth are so familiar with this matter that they can't be more familiar, right?

But have you ever wondered: what was the crime of Ding Yuan when he was killed? No one could answer, and history was not written.

Don't say anything that is not guilty, Dong Zhuo is not a beast who tramples on all the rules of the court as soon as he enters Beijing. At first, he still wanted to cooperate with the old order-

After the successful deposition of the emperor, in the first three months of Dong Zhuo's reign, out of the consideration of dividing the spoils and balancing the interests of all parties, how many state pastors, assassins, and taishou were sealed? Later, Han Fu, Yuan Shao, Yuan Shu, Liu Dai, Kong Ling, and Zhang Miao, who opposed Dong...... They were all promoted to knighthood during that time.

This is Dong Zhuo's attempt to cooperate with the current order, so if he kills Jin Wu, he will definitely have to fabricate charges to cover up his shame, even if it is a crime that he wants to add afterwards.

It's just that Dong Zhuo was nailed to the pillar of shame in history, and his dirty history books of chaotic life will not be written, omitted, and can only let Li Su carefully observe and excavate again, avoid the thunder pit and get out carefully.

……

"It seems that Dong Zhuo is afraid of the change in the situation, and at today's Wen Mingyuan cocktail party, he does not dare to mention the abolition of the establishment, and it is estimated that he will have to wait at least seven or eight days to ensure that all the follow-up troops arrive in Beijing before he dares to continue to advance.

However, when he was drinking just now, he made a slight insulting speech and complained that the Son of Heaven was weak and cowardly, and he would not give up his determination. ”

At the end of the banquet, Li Suru summed up today's gains in her heart.

There is no tension from Ding Yuan and Lu Bu, and there is no peace from Wang Yun. Without Lu Zhi's outspokenness and daring, and Cai Yong's efforts to protect Lu Zhi, everything was temporarily suppressed because of the comparison of strength and went in an unknown direction.

Of course, Lu Bu still came to the scene, standing at the door to escort, and he was not qualified to come in for a banquet. But Li Su didn't scare him, after all, the current Lu Bu was still loyal to Ding Yuan, and he greeted him when he saw Li Su.

The most important thing is that Li Su also brought two people to stand at the door of the banquet hall - Dian Wei had already entered Yique Pass with the remaining more than 2,000 cavalry this morning and stationed in the southern suburbs of the city, Dian Wei himself followed Zhao Yun to escort him, and Li Su was still afraid of wool.

Today, everyone fought for a long time, rescued the emperor and returned to the palace to settle down, but they were already tired, and the banquet dispersed without their words.

The next day was August 26, the day of the pilgrimage. Li Su is a foreign minister, so he doesn't need to go to court, but soon after he got up, he heard a lot of movement outside, and asked Zhao Yun to go out to check, saying that it was another Xiliang army entering the city.

Li Su smiled slightly, knowing that Dong Zhuo had already started to play the bluff trick of going out of the city in the middle of the night and entering again at dawn.

Of course, Li Su himself will not be deceived, but it is also inconvenient for him to remind others. And he knew that this trick would not determine the success or failure of the abolition, but only to strengthen Dong Zhuo's authority a little-

Dong Zhuo's operation is clearly contained in the Book of the Later Han Dynasty, and it is indeed the truth. But "Romance" grafted it on, and put a layer of causal relationship between it and "Dong Zhuo relied on this hand to scare the Beijing army and successfully abolish it".

But originally in history, Dong Zhuo completed the abolition on the third day of entering Beijing, how could he wait for this kind of slow work.

However, although Li Su ignored Dong Zhuo's deterrence, at the end of the day meeting, another piece of news came from the palace, which surprised Li Su.

This news was reported by Lu Zhi's dispersion of the dynasty to Li Su's mansion: "Li Su, do you know that today, Ding Jianyang suggested that the rebellion of the ten permanent servants has been quelled, and the soldiers and horses in other towns can be returned to their own towns. However, the Queen Mother and Her Majesty have not dared to make a conclusion lightly.

Ding Jianyang wants me to breathe a breath with you, if you are willing to take the lead, I will return the command of Zilong's 500 cavalry in the city to you on the same day, and you can take the men and horses back to Hanzhong. After all, your soldiers and horses were the latest to be called into Beijing, and the formalities were not as complete as Ding Jianyang and Dong Zhuo - what do you think? ”

It must be said here that Li Su is indeed inferior to Dong Zhuo on the issue of "complete procedures" mentioned by Lu Zhi, because Dong Zhuo himself is a prince of a town, his soldiers are his own, and He Jin's summoning of Dong Zhuo's order is also official.

And Li Su was only in the capital at the right time, and the ownership of his soldiers was Liu Bei, the general of the expedition to the west, and He Jin could only be seconded from the power in a hurry. And the most important thing is that Dong Zhuo gave the imperial court a reinstatement before entering Beijing, saying that "the ministers please ring the bell and drum to enter Luoyang to clear the chaotic party", but Li Su was not qualified to play the seal back to the emperor.

These truths are not wrong in terms of etiquette, but he still feels quite surprised: "Ding Yuan actually wants to transfer me out of Beijing more than Dong Zhuo?" Ding Yuan is looking for death? Isn't he afraid that after I leave, Dong Zhuo will crush him even more? ”

But then after thinking about it, Li Su realized Ding Yuan's blind spot: Ding Yuan wanted to use the righteous name of the imperial court rules. Because he arrived in Luoyang twenty days earlier than Dong Zhuo, he was crowned as the ruling Jinwu on the last train before He Jin's death.

Therefore, although Dong Zhuo also entered Beijing, he did not get an official Beijing official, but Ding Yuan has changed from a state assassin to a Beijing official. He thought that Li Su would take the lead and set an example, so he could use "Those who are not Beijing officials have to go, and it is the Beijing officials who can stay" to squeeze Dong Zhuo!

As for Lu Bu being bribed and betrayed, this is only known from God's perspective, Ding Yuan didn't think of this, so he was very bold.

This is the P Society player's way of playing "making Li Su give up the claim, causing Dong Zhuo to also lose the excuse for the claim"!

"This butterfly effect is really collapsing more and more, Ding Yuan actually has the courage to think like this, and feels that everything cannot be deduced. But it's okay, I'm going to take a step back and see how I can leave more decently. ”

Thinking of this, Li Su finally spoke: "Since Duke Lu also persuaded me to do so, I have no objection - the general only allowed me to take a half-month vacation during his lifetime, and he stayed in Beijing by mistake. If I can let Dong Zhuo go, why not. However, I don't know if the Queen Mother and Her Majesty can approve Ding Yuan's performance? ”

Lu Zhi breathed a sigh of relief, at the beginning, he saw that Li Su had thought about it for so long, and thought that Li Su had other thoughts, so he hurriedly replied: "Today's court meeting was not allowed to play, and the Queen Mother seemed to feel that the situation was undecided and did not dare to act rashly. Of course, you have to meet the Queen Mother in person and take the initiative to ask for permission to leave Beijing, so that the Queen Mother can push the boat down the river. ”

Li Su: "Aren't you afraid of more trouble?" If the Queen Mother thinks that Zilong and I are reliable, and we are forbidden to guard the palace, what can I do? ”

Lu Zhi: "You just said that these soldiers and horses were originally recruited by the general of Zhengxi, and if they stayed in Beijing for a long time, it would be contrary to the Ming edict of the first emperor Zhongping in the first year of Zhongping, which would make the world's powerful families who gathered private soldiers panic."

Now the emperor is only in April, and the son said: 'Three years have not changed the way of the father, which can be described as filial piety'. My Han rules the world with filial piety, and the young lord naturally cannot abolish the law of the first emperor. ”

Li Su was stunned when he heard this, his ability to make a fuss in Gangchang was still tender, and it was not worth mentioning in front of Lu Zhi at all.

In the end, he has been a scholar for many years, and he is too experienced in how to restrain the imperial power and his life. The words of the sage are all set in one set, no wonder the queen mother is in the dynasty and there are so many decisions that will be reversed.

The five parties have their own ghosts, so they are trying to advance. In the afternoon of the same day, Li Su took the initiative to enter the palace under the pretext of asking to see him. The reason, of course, was "that he heard that someone proposed to drive him away during the morning court meeting, and he came to express his 'willingness to go' to the Queen Mother."

Because she saved the Queen Mother the day before yesterday, of course the Queen Mother readily agreed to Li Su's request to see her, and Li Su also took Zhao Yundianwei with her. It's just that Dian Wei looks vicious, and Li Su doesn't want him to scare the Queen Mother into ruining his mood, so he let him stay outside at the palace gate in advance.

Empress Dowager He really had the intention of retaining, as Li Su expected, she wanted to keep them down to protect the court, and promised to add officials to the knighthood, saying that Zhonglang would be incompetent Wu Kuang, and Zhao Duwei would be added as Zhonglang General Yunyun.

Li Su was taken aback, and hurriedly said that he should not be promoted too suddenly because of the lack of credit for outsiders, lest the foreign court feel that the queen mother was rewarded and punished, and then Li Su used Lu Zhijiao's excuse to squeeze it.

When Empress Dowager He heard this, she sighed regretfully: "Li Qing, can you really let Dong Zhuo go too?" I heard that Dong Zhuo was extremely brutal. When escorting His Majesty back to the palace yesterday, due to the chaos in the palace, it was later reported that some palace maids were taken away by the escorts...... It's just that it hasn't been ascertained ”

Obviously, after Dong Zhuo entered Beijing, lewd YU had already attacked, although he didn't dare to directly "stay on the dragon bed at night, the lewd Khan princess/palace maid", but there was already the fact that he took advantage of the chaos to take some away. And Empress Dowager He was already frightened by this.

Li Suyi gritted his teeth: "The minister tries his best, but the minister is just a model, and it mainly depends on the ministers of the DPRK and the Central People's Republic of China." ”

He said some words to temporarily appease and stabilize the Queen Mother, so as not to slander him and Zhao Yun again, and finally put the attitude of the inner palace in order.

Rao is like this, and the Empress Dowager He finally said that even if Zhao Yun could not be crowned as a lieutenant general, she would have to add a military title.

In the end, the Queen Mother summoned Wang Yun, who had just become the boss today, as well as the Shangshu of Shaofu Huang Wan and his subordinate soldiers, and agreed to give Zhao Yun a "captain of Changshui".

Captain Changshui was one of the eight schools of the Northern Army in the Western Han Dynasty and one of the five schools of the Northern Army after the Eastern Han Dynasty. It was formed by the merger of the former Changshui Lieutenant and Hu Qi Lieutenant.

Among the schools of the Northern Army, the Tun Cavalry and the Yue Cavalry are both southern cavalry, mainly in close combat. Hu cavalry and Changshui are dominated by northern cavalry and archery cavalry. Empress Dowager He obviously understood Zhao Yun's situation with her heart, and knew that he often led 5,000 Wuhuan cavalry cavalry to fight under Liu Bei, so she gave him the captain of Changshui, which showed that Zhao Yun's ability to command archers and cavalry was extremely strong, and was recognized by the imperial court.

In fact, because the Northern Army in the late Eastern Han Dynasty has been divided among the lieutenant generals such as Zhi Jinwu and Zuo/Right/Huben, and does not directly divide the command according to the branch of the army, so the captain of Changshui is only a treatment level, and does not affect the real power of other generals, which is also one of the reasons why the foreign minister is willing to accept this seal.

Li Su's official position is nothing to add, he is already a Zhonglang general, Taishou, and then he is a heavy general and Jiuqing, so he was rewarded with gold worth 10 million yuan, and on the basis of his Piting marquis, he added 300 fiefdoms (500 to 800. More than 1,000 is generally a countryman).

After getting the attitude of the Queen Mother, Li Su's remaining work was to act on both sides of Ding Yuan and Dong Zhuo, get benefits, and get out with a flawless reputation-

Ding Yuan wants him to cooperate, and he has to pay a price, right?

Although Dong Zhuo will reduce the strength of his claim excuse because of Li Su's withdrawal, in fact, Dong Zhuo must also hope that Li Su will go, because Li Su knows that Dong Zhuo will play the Lu Bu card to solve the Ding Yuan problem, and at the moment, it must be that the more other armed forces go, the better.

As for Empress Dowager He, even if Dong Zhuo didn't leave in the end, she couldn't hate Li Su, she could only hate Ding Yuan and other Jingzhong generals for being incompetent: Li Su had made such a big sacrifice and weakened Dong Zhuo's reputation, why couldn't you deal with Dong Zhuo?
