Chapter 733: The Birth of the Demon King (I)
The reason why Dong Zhuo wanted to abolish the establishment was of course not to support the Han family, but to better 'coerce the Son of Heaven to order the princes'.
Once a son of heaven and a courtier.
Liu Bian's temperament is weak, although he is a qualified puppet, he was supported to the throne by He Jin after all.
Besides, Liu Bian's age is not young, and he will be able to pro-government in a few years.
In contrast, Liu Xie, who is nearly nine years old, is the best puppet candidate who can maximize Dong Zhuo's interests.
Dong Zhuoli and Liu Xie have three major advantages as emperor:
First, because of his younger age, it is conducive to Dong Zhuo's control, and it can also delay the pro-government time to reduce the unnecessary trouble of Endo;
Second, Liu Xie can come to power, Dong Zhuo is the first credit, and he can justifiably obtain greater rights.
Third, Dong Zhuonai is a foreign warlord who does not have much foundation in the court, and the abolition of this earth-shattering event can not only establish prestige and suppress the ministers, but also stabilize his position.
To sum up the above three points, abolishing Liu Bian and establishing Liu Xie separately is indeed a clever move for the current Dong Zhuo.
However, for Dong Zhuo to stand up to the princes of the world, it is a difficult move to sleep and eat.
Dong Zhuo controlled the Son of Heaven and occupied the righteousness, from then on he could fight whoever he wanted, and when others beat him, it was rebellion and rebellion, and only by uniting could the alliance regain the righteousness, so the Dong Alliance would be so smoothly formed.
Dong Zhuo didn't know that Qin Hao was already planning to unite the princes of the world to crusade against him, a traitor, and now he was preparing to make a drastic reform after the new emperor succeeded to the throne.
"The new emperor succeeds to the throne, and hundreds of officials kowtow."
Cao Zhengchun shouted at the civil and military officials, and the civil and military officials, led by Dong Zhuo, saluted and shouted together: "Long live my emperor, long live the Han Dynasty." ”
With the collapse of the Ten Standing Servants Group, the two departments also fell into Dong Zhuo's control, and although Qin Rang left the palace, he let his henchman Cao Zhengchun stay and continue to perform the duties of the No. 1 secret agent in his place.
Cao Zhengchun, under Qin Rang's careful packaging, was neither a eunuch nor another party, so he easily escaped this purge.
After that, Cao Zhengchun became the chief of the inner house by virtue of his qualifications, and then became the great eunuch next to the new emperor.
After Liu Xie and Cao Zhengchun glanced at each other, Cao Zhengchun opened the edict and began to recite: "I am a new treasure, and now I am the Liangzhou Mu Dong Zhuo as the Duke of Liang, the fief of Xiliang, and the post of prime minister, the head of the hundred officials, I hope Aiqing will assist me wholeheartedly." ”
As soon as this reward came out, the whole house was shocked.
Now the biggest marquis in the reward is just a one-word marquis, and Dong Zhuo is actually a duke, this is the rhythm of the country.
Dong Zhuo turned a blind eye to everyone's reactions, and there was no joy or sadness on his face, and said lightly: "Your Majesty." ”
Feng Gong is not the most shocking, what is really shocking is what Dong Zhuo said later, which simply made the entire Guanzhong tremble.
"The new emperor succeeded to the throne, the Han Dynasty was in ruins, and the prime minister decided to implement the new policy from now on, and the land of Kansai will fully implement the "Great Han Field Mu System".
What the? Including Huangfu Song and Wang Yun, the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty were all dumbfounded.
Dong Zhuo would actually work for the welfare of the people at the bottom? I'm afraid it's not my brain, right? Some officials thought so.
Wang Yun was the first to stand up and persuaded: "No, Prime Minister, the situation in Guanzhong is special, unlike other places, if you reform easily, I'm afraid it will be useless." ”
Wang Yun's words were good, but other civil and military officials would not say that, which made Dong Zhuo angry.
"Hmph."
Dong Zhuo snorted coldly and said in a deep voice: "There are too many ills in the big man, and serious illnesses still need strong medicine to cure, if you really follow the steps, I'm afraid you will never be able to get rid of the ills." ”
"But ......"
"Okay, don't be persuasive, the prime minister has made up his mind."
Because the strength of the Liangzhou family is not strong, Dong Zhuo is one of the few princes who implements the "Great Han Tian Mu System", and it is precisely because of this that Dong Zhuo can afford to raise so many soldiers and horses.
Dong Zhuo, who tasted the sweetness, knew the benefits brought by the Xintian system, after all, after the implementation of Liangzhou alone, Dong Zhuo fed an army of 200,000, and now Dong Zhuo occupies half of the three states in Kansai, so he naturally will not give up this benefit.
In addition, now Dong Zhuo has nearly 500,000 soldiers and horses, and if he does not implement the Xintian system, he will not be able to support so many soldiers and horses.
Dong Zhuo is ready to fully implement the field system first, and then capture Nanyang to seize new crops, and after it is popularized, he will have a steady stream of grain, and then the princes of the world who can resist his Xiliang iron cavalry.
Dong Zhuo thought very beautifully, but he underestimated the strength of the Guanzhong family.
You must know that today's Guanzhong is the concentration of the world, especially the sparsely populated Liangzhou, and the resistance to the implementation of the Xintian system in Guanzhong is definitely no less difficult than the success of the Yellow Turban Uprising.
After Dong Zhuo retired from the dynasty and returned home, Li Ru immediately came to the door, and the purpose was naturally to persuade Dong Zhuo to give up the reform, but before Li Zhuo finished speaking, Dong Zhuo screamed.
"What? Virtuous son-in-law, do you want the miscellaneous family to take back their lives? As soon as he said this, he took it back, so how do the officials think of the miscellaneous family? No, absolutely not. ”
Seeing that Dong Zhuo's head was about to shake into a rattle, Li Ru hated iron and said with hatred: "My lord, this will make the whole world not want to see us." ”
Dong Zhuo retorted unconvinced: "Didn't Qin Hao and Qin Wen also implement the Xintian system, why didn't they see their families against them?" ”
"Can this be the same?"
Hearing Dong Zhuo compare the father and son of the Qin family, Li Ru explained with a wry smile: "Bingzhou, like Liangzhou, is a bitter cold place, and the power of the family is not strong.
As for Nanyang, nearly half of the family moved to Guanzhong, and the other side was also slaughtered by Xiang Yu.
It is precisely because the strength of the families under his command is not strong that the father and son of the Qin family dare to implement the Xintian system, but even so, the father and son of the Qin family also took their time, for fear of causing dissatisfaction with the rest of the family.
And Guanzhong is the gathering place of the Kansai and Kanto families, nearly half of the world's families are gathered here, and easy reform will definitely touch the interests of the two major families, and then you will become a thorn in the eye of the world's families. ”
Dong Zhuo's eyes couldn't help flashing a trace of hesitation when he heard this, but then he was replaced by firmness, and said in a deep voice: "If you regret it at this time, the miscellaneous family will definitely be majestic, this is absolutely not good." At this point, instead of thinking about how to redeem it, it is better to think about how to remedy it. ”
One of the purposes of Dong Zhuo's abolition of the emperor was to establish prestige, and he took back his words as soon as he said them, isn't this a slap in the face?
Dong Zhuo is not He Jin, but he doesn't have the habit of slapping himself in the face, so even if he knows that the road ahead is extremely difficult, but since the words have been released, Dong Zhuo has to grit his teeth even if he is dead.
