Two hundred and two: The storm that swept the world
Knowing that Yuan Kui planned to do such a thing, Yuan Shu and Yuan Ji both disapproved of it at the beginning.
Yuan Ji was worried that if something happened, it would put Yuan Kui in a very dangerous situation.
Yuan Kui waved his hand and didn't think so.
"I am the master of Dong Zhuo, Dong Zhuo will not dare to kill me no matter what, this is the biggest truth in the world, Dong Zhuo has read the book, he does not dare to disobey, if he wants to disobey, he must also see if there will be disaster behind him, he will not dare."
The unspoken rules of politics in the late Han Dynasty, so the obligation of the officials to the lord was clear, and Yuan Kui believed that Dong Zhuo would not dare to kill himself no matter what, otherwise he would be cut off from the world.
With Dong Zhuo's level, he would not make such a mistake, otherwise his entire family would be in danger.
Just as Dong Zhuo's seizure of power did not harm the Yuan family, if Yuan Kui regained power, at most Dong Zhuo would be abolished, and Dong Zhuo's entire family would not be wiped out.
Yuan Kui's words made Yuan Ji and Yuan Shu agree very much, and they immediately felt that this move was very meaningful, so they immediately arranged it according to Yuan Kui's ideas.
Yuan Kui arranged for Yuan Shu to leave Luoyang, wanting Yuan Shu to be the initiator of the fight against Dong and lead the princes from all over the country to march to Beijing.
The reason why I didn't choose Yuan Ji was because Yuan Ji was the eldest son, so I had to stabilize Dong Zhuo with myself, and if I escaped Yuan Ji, Dong Zhuo would be alert immediately.
It is necessary to buy time and buy everyone time to start the army.
Later, in a very strange atmosphere, the Yuan family began to secretly contact the scholars to find out their tone.
This temptation has been responded to by many people.
These people expressed their regret to Yuan Kui, saying that they were confused by Dong Zhuo and did not see through his true face, etc.
Yuan Kui wanted to get angry very much, but now he needed to win everyone's cooperation, so he looked like he was not guilty of the past and tried to win their secret cooperation.
And in this way, Yuan Kui saw the weakness under Dong Zhuo's strong tyranny, lame in politics, and once his true nature was revealed, he would be immediately abandoned by those careerists.
Yuan Kui felt that his plan would definitely overthrow Dong Zhuo and regain the glory and power that should have belonged to the Yuan family.
This plan quietly spread among the scholars, and soon spread to the ears of the Xun scholars, and the Xun clansmen in the court, Sikong Xun Shuang, and the Yellow Gate squire Xun Yu all knew about it.
Xun Shuang was a little hesitant, but Xun You was resolutely opposed.
"Uncle, isn't this kind of thing ridiculous?"
"What do you mean by that?"
Xun Shuang looked at Xun You, who had always been known for his intelligence and wisdom.
Xun You said slowly: "Dong Zhuo is in trouble, if you want to get rid of Dong Zhuo, shouldn't you get rid of him within Luoyang?" I don't agree with the general's recruitment of foreign soldiers to deal with the eunuchs, this is a move to disrupt the world, and now it is hard to stabilize the world, and Taifu has to do the same thing as the general! ”
Xun Shuang thought about it and felt that what Xun You said made sense.
"Go on."
"Recruiting foreign soldiers into Beijing is originally a risky move, from ancient times to the present, I have never heard of recruiting foreign soldiers to crusade against the Beijing division in order to determine the chaos, and give the foreign assassin Shi Tai the right to defend the army, this is in the separation of the country, it is easy to give, it is difficult to take back, the soldiers have been in hand, who is willing to hand it over?
In the past, in order to regain power and destroy Liang Ji, Xiaohuan relied on a group of eunuchs, the Liang family was a relative, there was a queen mother, there were old officials, and the power was far greater than Dong Zhuo, and Xiaohuan only used eunuchs to assassinate Liang Ji, and everything was calmed.
Now only one assassin is needed to assassinate Dong Zhuo, then the big thing can be decided, but Taifu wants to recruit foreign soldiers to jointly crusade against Luoyang, this is to defeat the king with his ministers, and he is to disrupt the king's subordinates, this is the real disaster in the world! ”
Xun You said it very seriously, although Xun Shuang felt that it made sense, but he was very worried about Xun You's plan and didn't approve of it.
"Xiaohuan killed Liang Ji because he had a righteous reputation, and the time and place were favorable, and the assassination was originally extremely accidental, if it failed, he was pursued by Dong Zhuo, and he didn't know how many people would die, which was too risky."
Xun Yu hurriedly said: "No matter how risky Dong Zhuo is, no matter how angry Dong Zhuo is, it will only be chaotic in Beijing, chaotic in Yang, and will not mess with the world, and if Taifu wants the world to raise troops, the world will be bustling, the military disasters will be connected, it will be easy to rise, but it will be difficult to eliminate, I am afraid that the world will be in chaos from now on, and it will no longer be stable!" ”
Xun Shuang thought about it again and again, but still shook his head.
"Since Taifu has such an idea, he must have the means to deal with the aftermath, so that he can control the soldiers and horses that crusade against Dong Zhuo and prevent the army from causing chaos."
"Won't there be a second, third, or even fourth Dong Zhuo?"
Xun You asked rhetorically, and Xun Shuang was speechless.
But Xun Shuang did not adopt Xun You's suggestion after all, but echoed Yuan Kui's suggestion.
Xun Yu sighed and stopped talking.
Xun Yu's uncle Xun Yu was also serving in the court at this time, and he also agreed with Xun Yu's opinion in his heart, but Xun Shuang's mind had been decided, and Xun Yu was helpless.
Thinking about it again, the general He Jin recruited foreign troops into Beijing, disturbing the chaos in the capital, and now it is difficult to stabilize the Beijing division, but Yuan Kui is going to make trouble again.
Xun Yu had a premonition that a big disaster was coming, and he wanted to leave Luoyang as soon as possible and take refuge in a safe place.
Yuan Kui's plan was then approved by most people.
So from a certain day, there were constantly close scholars who suggested to Dong Zhuo in Dong Zhuo's ear, saying that Dong Zhuo had just ascended to the position of Xiangguo, and he should show his wisdom to the whole world, so that the world could obey.
Dong Zhuo was worried about this, so he asked them what they should do.
These careerists with evil intentions suggested to Dong Zhuo that they should divide the famous people in the court to become officials in various places.
Because there were many officials of the eunuch group who fled in various places before, there were many vacant official positions, and it was not possible to govern the localities without officials.
Therefore, at this time, celebrities should be arranged to be the chief officials in places where there is no chief official, so that the world can be stabilized and the prestige of Dong Xiangguo can be promoted to the ends of the earth.
Dong Zhuo was stunned by repeated bombings and bombing, and felt that it was right to do so, so he put on a virtuous posture with a full sense of superiority, and assigned a large number of celebrities to official positions.
For example, Feng Hanfu is the pastor of Jizhou, Liu Dai is the history of Yanzhou Thorn, Kong Ling is the history of Yuzhou Thorn, Zhang Shi is the Taishou of Nanyang, Kong Rong who has repeatedly contradicted himself is the Taishou of Runan, Feng Yingshao is the Taishou of Taishan, Zhang Miao is the Taishou of Chen Liu, and Feng Xunyu is the county commander of Kangfu.
At the same time, under the repeated suggestions of the four closest confidants - He Hao, Zheng Tai, Zhou Yu, and Wu Qiong, Dong Zhuo, as the supreme ruler, must show his bearing and demeanor as a ruler, so that the world can return to the heart.
So Dong Zhuo, with a good sense of self, forgave Yuan Shao's escape, and learned that he was in Jizhou, so he sealed him Bohai Taishou as reconciliation.
He also worshiped the old general Bao Xin as the minister of Jibei, and worshiped Wang Kuang as the Taishou of Hanoi to show reconciliation with them.
When Guo Peng, the assassin of Qingzhou, said that he had broken the Yellow Turban Army of 30,000 and asked for a reward for his subordinates, Dong Zhuo made the decision and changed Guo Peng, the general of Qingzhou Assassin Zuo, to Qingzhou Mu, to enhance Guo Peng's power and show the intention of wooing.
These appointments are all written as Dong Zhuo's performance, and they are officials, and they are deliberately written clearly.
Dong Zhuo felt that this was enough to show his "magnanimity", so these people would definitely regard him as a benefactor, be grateful to him, and sincerely agree with his rule.
Then Dong Zhuo began to enjoy his honor as the first minister in the world, entering and leaving the palace at will, appointing and dismissing officials at will, promoting those who have their own appetite, and denigrating those who do not have their own appetite.
He thought that the situation had stabilized, but he never thought that a strong political and military storm was brewing.
The storm intensified and intensified until the world was bustling, and it would never settle again, nor would it stop.
