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. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info

Therefore, although the current imperial court is tempted by merging with the state pastor, compared with the actual benefits of supporting the army and the three auxiliaries, in Dong Zhuo's view, it is obviously far inferior.

Not long after the state pastoral system was restored, for example, the thirteen states have appointed state pastors in Youzhou, Yuzhou, and Yizhou, and the selected personnel are either Han clan relatives like Liu Yan and Liu Yu, or famous people from high-ranking families like Huang Wan.

Dong Zhuo was born in the army from a good family, and he was the uncle of a state, in charge of the military and political affairs of a state, and became the fourth feudal official of the Han Empire. But at the moment, a discerning person can see that this is the trick of the princes of the imperial court who are using the trick of "driving away the soldiers of Di to attack the razor", Dong Zhuo is extremely reluctant in his heart, although this time he is facing the edict of the Son of Heaven with sharp words, but he subconsciously still wants to refuse this external transfer again.

But this time, Li Ru didn't think so. His previous sentence "Lord, since the situation has changed, then I have to make plans early!" It is to remind Dong Zhuo to change his strategy according to the changes in the current situation, the previous three strategies have changed with the changes in the current situation, and it was originally the place where the middle policy was merged, but now it seems to have jumped to the first place and has become the first choice for Dong Jun.

The reason for this is that I have to mention the letter sent by Dong Min, the commander of Fengche in Beijing, to send a fast horse to Dong Ying.

Dong Zhuo's brother Dong Zhuo died early, leaving behind a nephew, Dong Huang, who is now under Dong Zhuo's account. And Dong Zhuo's younger brother Dong Min took advantage of Dong Zhuo's military exploits and was recruited as the captain of Fengche.

The Fengche Duwei of this dynasty is under the jurisdiction of Guangluxun, one of the nine Qings, and the Fengchao will be summoned, and he will take charge of the royal car, and the rank is more than 2,000 stones. It's just that now the eunuchs are in power, and the power is overwhelming, and the people close to the Son of Heaven are all eunuchs, and Fengche Duwei is only a nominal official, and the real power has long been hollowed out by the eunuchs.

But Dong Min is in the Beijing Division, although he has no real power, he is like Dong Zhuo's eyes, ears and representatives, on the one hand, he represents Dong Zhuo's contacts with courtiers and builds momentum for Dong Zhuo. On the other hand, he was also secretly collecting all the information about his brother from top to bottom of the government and the opposition, and passed it to Dong Zhuo's hands through the fast horse in time.

This time, Dong Min's fire paint secret letter focused on two things, the first thing is that when today's son has been living in the deep palace in recent months, he can't leave the court, and the palace and outside the palace are all the henchmen of the Son of Heaven, and even the general He Jin can't meet him, and there are already rumors between the government and the opposition that the Son of Heaven is seriously ill and will die soon.

Now the government and the opposition, relatives, party members, and eunuchs are fighting for power and profit with each other, and it is entirely because there is still a son of heaven in the town that they have scruples about each other and do not tear their faces and fight. However, once the Son of Heaven is seriously ill and dies, the young lord is in the court, the political balance is broken, and the unscrupulous parties are ruthless to each other for the sake of interests, then it must be another bloody storm that swept the court.

Since ancient times, the change of the throne has been particularly bloody, and the people in the bureau, if they are not careful, will attract the disaster of destroying the family and destroying the family.

And the second thing is also a continuation of this first thing. Now there are rumors in Luoyang City that the son of heaven is ready to abolish the elder and younger, and Liu Hong, the son of heaven, has been on the throne for 22 years, and there are countless beauties in the harem, but most of the children born have died, and now there are only two princes, Shi Hou and Dong Hou.

Shi Hou is the son of the current queen, because after Queen He gave birth to her son Liu Wei, in order to avoid premature death, she was sent to the Taoist Shi Ziyi's house to raise, so she was called "Shi Hou". And Dong Hou is the son of Wang Meiren in the harem, Wang Mei died soon after giving birth to Liu Xie, and Liu Xie was personally raised by the Empress Dowager Dong, known as "Dong Hou".

It stands to reason that Liu Wei is the eldest son, and the harem has Queen He as a supporter, and the foreign dynasty has powerful relatives such as the general He Jin and the general He Miao as help, so it is logical to inherit the throne. It's a pity that today's son is reluctant to set up the crown prince, so that the prince Liu Xie, who also has the help of the Empress Dowager Dong and the hussar general Dong Chong, began to faintly form a force that should not be underestimated, which posed a threat to the succession status of the prince and the He family.

It happened that the recent rebellion in Liangzhou had risen and fallen, and the henchman of the Son of Heaven, Xiaohuangmen Jian Shuo, took the opportunity to propose that the general He Jin lead the troops into the remnants of the rebels in Liangzhou, and the Son of Heaven immediately agreed to let the general lead the army to the west.

It was the practice of the two Han Dynasty that foreign relatives commanded troops to fight. Wei Qing, Huo Quzhi, and Li Guangli of the former Han Dynasty were all entrusted with important tasks by the Son of Heaven to conquer the Xiongnu in the north and Dawan in the west, and established great feats. And Dou Xian, a once powerful relative of this dynasty, also commanded the five schools of the Northern Army, Liyang, Yongying, and the knights of the twelve counties on the edge of the border as a chariot general, attacking the Northern Xiongnu, Yan Ran Legong, and returned with a great victory. Even Deng Qiu, a relative of this dynasty who was known for his humility and etiquette and not known for knowing soldiers, was also ordered to lead the troops of the Yulin Army and the five schools of the Northern Army and the troops of various counties to Liangzhou to quell the Qiang Rebellion when Emperor An was in turmoil.

In the face of this situation, He Jin is not only a relative, but also a high position as a general, so he naturally has no way to shirk. But the Qiang people are fierce, when Deng Qiu led the troops to be defeated by the cavalry of the Qiang people one after another and fled, He Jin was not born as a butcher, where is there any military strategy to lead the army to the west to pacify the Qiang rebellion, not to mention that it is now a sensitive period when the Son of Heaven lives in a shallow state, He Jin is naturally unwilling to lead the army to the west, so He Jin also followed up with a request to send Yuan Shao to Xuzhou and Yanzhou to mobilize troops, and wait until Yuan Shao comes back to carry out the westward expedition, so as to delay the date of the march.

On the other hand, He Jin also listened to the opinions of his staff, and began to take precautions, sending the staff henchmen in the general's palace to contact the ministers of the court in private, imitating the case of the former Han Gaozu Liu Bangli as the crown prince, to build momentum for the orthodox status of the prince, who was also threatened.

At the beginning of the founding of the former Han Dynasty, the elderly ancestor Liu Bang loved Mrs. Qi's son Liu Ruyi, and was afraid of the strength of the Lu family of the prince Liu Ying's mother in the court, so he crowned Liu Ruyi as the king of Zhao and left him by his side to teach, intending to replace Liu Ying, who was born cowardly and talented with Liu Ruyi, who was brilliant and talented. Also when the crisis of the crown prince's status came, Liu Ying's mother Lu Pheasant followed Zhang Liang's advice in time, and invited the Qin Dynasty's widow and the surviving doctor of the "Shangshan Sihao" for the prince, and then made the momentum of the eldest son's accession to the throne natural, Liu Bang saw that the prince's crown prince status was stable, and had to give up the idea of abolishing the elder and establishing the young that had not yet been implemented in his heart, which led to the later Emperor Hui of the Han Dynasty.

Today's Liu Bian's status is also the same as Liu Ying back then, quite embarrassing, when today's son is also ambiguous about the status of the crown prince, the mother family behind Shi Hou is not in a hurry, and hurriedly began to connect with the people of the government and the opposition to shout for the status of the eldest son of the crown prince.

During this period, someone from the General's Mansion came to contact Dong Min, the commander of Fengche.

Although Dong Min is in the middle of the government and the opposition, compared to the princes of the court, his position is humble and not worth mentioning, but he has a brother Dong Zhuo who is a commander of the army behind him and may enter the court as an official, which is unusual.

You must know that at the beginning of today's accession to the throne, the eunuchs Wang Fu, Cao Jie and others used Zhang Huan, the general of the Huns who had just led the army back to the division, and ordered him and Zhou Jing to lead five battalions of sergeants, plus more than 1,000 people such as Huben, Yulin, stables, Duhou, and sword halberders who were temporarily summoned, and Dou Wu, the general who wanted to eradicate the eunuchs, fought under the palace.

At the moment, He Jin, a general who had learned the lessons of his predecessors, obviously took a fancy to the strength of Dong Zhuo, who had soldiers and horses outside and was ruthless.
