After all, it has only been long since the imperial court recruited Dong Zhuo to enter Beijing as a young mansion. Pen fun and pavilion www.biquge.info
Shaofu, one of the nine kings of the imperial court, in the middle of 2,000 stones, in the palm of the palace to serve all things, clothes and treasures of the genus. On paper, Shaofu is in charge of the internal court officials from Shangshutai to Shizhong, Yushi, eunuchs and other large and small internal court officials, but in fact, Shangshutai has been completely independent since the beginning of Emperor Guangwu, and the attendant officials of the emperor are no longer under the jurisdiction of Shaofu.
And compared with the Shaofu of the former Han Dynasty, the Shaofu of this dynasty has also shrunk a lot in the money bag under control. Originally, the taxes obtained from the mountains, rivers and grasslands of the world were collected as "forbidden money" and were collected by the imperial family and controlled by the Shaofu, but this dynasty also included this part of the "forbidden money" under the rule of Dasi Nong, who was in charge of the world's money, grain, and wealth, which directly cut off the original economic source of the Shaofu. In addition, the examiners who were responsible for the royal engineering construction and equipment manufacturing were transferred to the imperial servants who were originally only in charge of the carriages and horses of the Son of Heaven, and the resources in the hands of the Shaofu were reduced by half.
Originally, there were six Shaofu Cheng in charge, but five were omitted in this dynasty, and only one was left. Later, the province successively removed the Tang Guan, the Weaving Room Order, the Shanglin Shichi Supervisor under the command of the Shaofu, and the twenty-one Cheng of the compatriot Changcheng, the eunuch, the Kuntai, and the three orders of Bai Fei. It can be said that the current Shaofu functions have been continuously divided, and most of them have been crippled, even if they want to purely retain their position as the head of the internal affairs of the imperial family, they can't.
And to let Dong Zhuo, a general who led the army abroad, return to Beijing to serve in such an honorary position, and the political intention of the princes of the dynasty has been clearly revealed.
Huangfu Song and Dong Zhuo's battle of words between the generals and commanders is finally the winner of the court. Dong Zhuo, whose family reputation and achievements are not as good as others, can be said to be quickly overwhelmed by Huangfu Song in the public opinion of the imperial court.
One mountain cannot accommodate two tigers, and since the court has made up its mind to support the commander Huangfu Song, then the unlucky one can only be Dong Zhuo, who is slightly inferior in military achievements. Therefore, the imperial court was particularly anxious for the victory and reward of Dong Zhuo's soldiers for a long time, but instead recruited Dong Zhuo into Beijing, which also made Dong Zhuo, who was already willing to support the army and wait and see the changes of the times, to be vigilant.
During the Jianning period, Duan Cheng, a famous general who had experienced one hundred and eighty battles, attacked the east and west of Liangzhou, and his prestige shook the world. When he was recruited into the court, Duan Cheng led 50,000 Qin Hu's pawns, the soldiers and horses were majestic, majestic, and he also carried sweat and blood horses, and captured more than 10,000 people, just like the story of the former Han Second Division General Li Guangli to break through Dawan, and returned to the dynasty to offer victory, at that time, Liu Hong, the son of the Han Dynasty, also personally issued an edict to send Da Honglu to hold the Son of Heaven's Festival, and went out of Beijing to welcome the pickaxe land, comforting the counterinsurgency army that returned to the dynasty victoriously, and Duan Cheng's limelight can be described as unparalleled for a while.
But after entering the dynasty, he was invincible and made great achievements. As one of the three princes, he was impeached and imprisoned because of the solar eclipse, and finally was involved in the court battle between Yang Qiu, the captain of the Sili school, and Wang Fu, the middle servant.
The car in front is overturned, and the car behind is a lesson. gave up the army like an arm, entered the court to be an honorary high-ranking official of Jiuqing, and then accidentally got involved in the treacherous court battles, and was fallen into the well by those party members, eunuchs, and relatives who were honey-bellied, and ended up with a separation of bodies and heads and laughing for the world, which Dong Zhuo absolutely did not want to see.
Therefore, after he received the document of requisition, he immediately played a reply, and asked Li Ru, who was the chief writer, to point out in the recital that his subordinates were dissatisfied and resentful of "being upright, cutting off the gifts, and his wife was hungry and frozen", and deliberately implicitly reminded the soldiers at the moment to "cry and save the chariot, so that it cannot be done." Qiang, Hu Han intestinal dog, the minister can not be forbidden, and he will be comforted. Finally, a summary was made, pointing out that at present, "Liangzhou is disturbed, the whale salamander has not been extinguished, and this minister is working hard to save his life." The officials were enthusiastic, and they were in love with the retribution, and they were all in charge of the car, and they were sincere and sympathetic, and they did not get the road. Before leaving, he will be military, consolation, and dedication. ”
Dong Zhuo played this letter to the point, and it is no longer hidden, he directly pointed out the current situation that the imperial court reward is not good, and the soldiers under his command are indignant and dissatisfied, and specifically mentioned that he is popular in the army, except for himself who has won the hearts of the army, no one can appease the soldiers of Qin and Hu who are ready to move, and finally tell the princes in the court that the current Liangzhou rebellion has not been quelled, and he has the emperor's grace, so he can only work hard and devote himself to military affairs, and cannot accept the recall to Beijing.
Dong Zhuo relied on it, so he had a clear attitude, and directly pointed out that it was powerful, and rejected this secretly dangerous recruitment document, and later, in view of the undecided military affairs in Liangzhou, there was really no follow-up action in the court.
The storm of the incident also subsided.
But Dong Zhuo didn't expect that as soon as the Liangzhou rebels were defeated, public opinion against him in the court rose again. And this time, the imperial court not only acted quickly, but also changed its strategy, wanting to transfer itself to Bingzhou to encircle and suppress the Southern Xiongnu rebels who were ravaging the counties.
Li Ru had already made a plan with Dong Zhuo before, and they had to face the current situation, and there were three feasible strategies. Among them, the best strategy is to garrison Sanfu, support the troops and respect themselves, and wait and see the incident, which is undoubtedly the most suitable for Dong Zhuo's side. On the one hand, Dong Zhuo was born in Liangzhou, and has a lot of prestige among the Han and Qianghu tribes in Lintao, Longxi. On the other hand, Dong Zhuo has been stationed in Sanfu for many years, and has been operating in the army for a long time, Chang'an, as the western capital of the Han Empire, has a prominent location, and the Guanzhong is fertile for thousands of miles, and it is also the foundation of the emperor.
For this reason, after Dong Zhuo defeated the rebels in Liangzhou, he also deliberately secretly signaled Li Ru to select some rebel prisoners from the prisoner camp, and turn into the exiled Sanfu "Liukou", disrupt the county, cut off the road, and create a situation of local instability, so as to achieve the goal of raising self-respect and holding the imperial court hostage.
As for the middle strategy, Dong Zhuo was not without thought at that time. It's just that although there is a risk of merging the state, Huma's profit is more than enough to keep itself. But now the Southern Xiongnu has rebelled, the Black Mountain Thieves, the White Wave Thieves are also wandering around, rashly going, it is really a crisis, under the constraints of the inside and outside, maybe these elite soldiers and horses of his Huang Zhongyi will capsize in the gutter, and most of the losses will be lost, then it will definitely outweigh the losses, and they will shed blood and die for others in vain.
For Dong Zhongying, who already has different aspirations, this kind of thing that may be beneficial to the imperial court happens to damage his own interests, and he is absolutely unwilling in his heart.
