The princes of the Eighteenth Road begged for Dong, and the momentum was huge, but in the end, they were anticlimactic and hasty.

It's like the Six Kingdoms conquering Qin, and they can't enter Hangu for more than a month, and finally they have to go back to their own homes and find their own mothers.

History is always strikingly similar.

The princes from all walks of life showed off their muscles under Luoyang City, returned to the territory satisfied, and began to fight for power and profit.

Clear-eyed people saw that the big man was dying, so they hurried back to grab the territory. Although the imperial court quickly re-established the emperor, can the hearts of the people be dispersed and can they be brought back? Is anyone still willing to spit out the benefits that have been received in various places? Unless they can be conquered by force, they can be pressed to the ground one by one and rubbed and rubbed, and the princes of all walks of life can kneel on the ground and sing conquest, so that the power can be restored to the court.

But the imperial court is now powerless.

Of course, Cao Cao and Yuan Shao did not go back, and the affairs of the court still need to be discussed by everyone.

The Yuan family is the third prince of the fourth generation, Yuan Shao's uncle Yuan Kui is the prince of the dynasty, and the court affairs cannot bypass the Yuan family, not to mention the current cost of the imperial court, and it depends on the Yuan family's scheduling.

Yuan Shao is the rising star of the Yuan family, and he is the first to join the camp, so of course he has to participate.

Cao Cao now holds military power, and the Xiyuan Army and the Cao Family Army are all important forces in the defense of Luoyang. The imperial court now does not dare to let the Yuan family dominate, and Cao Cao is needed to check and balance the Yuan family.

So Cao Cao also had to stay.

And Ding Yuan has no foundation in the DPRK, and the state is not monolithic. As a thorn in the state, you must also guard against border troubles, and you can't stay in the center for a long time. Under the threat of the first camp and the tigers and leopards riding tigers, Ding Yuan had no choice but to lead his troops back to the state.

The country cannot be left without an owner for a day, the young emperor went west to Chang'an, and the court saw that it was impossible to welcome back the young emperor, so it immediately decided to re-establish the new emperor and stabilize the hearts of the people. Anyway, the emperor Yuxi and the ruling team are in Luoyang, and one more emperor is enough, and the young emperor doesn't want it.

Liu Yu, Cao Cao, Yuan Shao, Liu Bei and other important ministers jointly played the empress dowager and invited Liu Xie, the second son of Emperor Ling, to ascend the throne to maintain the face of the Han family and stabilize the order of the court.

Empress Dowager Ho quasi-played.

Liu Xie, the king of Chen Liu, who was less than ten years old, ascended the throne as Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty and changed his name to Chuping.

Emperor Xian was young, and the Queen Mother was in charge.

The relatives of the He family had been completely lost in the previous court farce, and the queen mother had to reuse the Han family relatives. Liu Biao, Liu Yan (Liu Zhang's father) took the opportunity to become a member of the party, a Mu Jingzhou, and a Mu Yizhou.

Liu Bei, as an important force of the Han clan, was the official of Jinwu (Ding Yuan's previous position), commanding the forbidden army and the defense of Luoyang City. is also the ruling Jinwu, Liu Bei's power is much greater than Ding Yuan's.

Yuan Shao led the chariot cavalry general, and Cao Cao led the hussar general to check and balance each other.

The power of the center was also divided among other families in Luoyang.

Dong Zhuo also supported the Young Emperor in Chang'an and the Emperor of Luoyang to compete for fame, proclaimed himself Xiangguo, and rewarded the soldiers of Xiliang. Xiliangjun has been with Dong Zhuo for so long, it is not possible not to reward him. If you can't pay it back, you will mutinied.

Emperor Xian gave orders in Luoyang, the eastern capital, and the young emperor claimed the king and hegemony in the western capital, both wanted to overwhelm the other party morally, but they had to ignore the existence of the other party. In this way, we can give a holy decree to the whole country without any scruples.

The world has entered the era of two emperors standing side by side.

It is often the emperor who sends a will, and the young emperor will also send a copy; The young emperor issued a will, and the emperor would reject it and send another copy. The two emperors often do it against each other, and no one can help anyone.

Anyone who does a modern enterprise knows that a leader can have many subordinates, but a subordinate must not have two leaders. This can easily lead to confusion in management, and subordinates are at a loss.

It's like if a person has a watch, he knows the time at a glance. If you bring two pieces, if the time is the same, it's okay to say, if it's different, the one will prevail.

Buddhism's "Hundred Parables" also says that a two-headed snake wants to swim to the left and the right to the right, but it can't walk, and as a result, it falls into the oil pot and burns to death.

The situation is also similar in various places and governments, and they often receive different orders from the young emperor and the emperor at the same time. One wanted to transport grain to Chang'an, and the other wanted to transport grain to Luoyang, which made local officials miserable. Forget it, we don't have enough food to eat, and we will transport it to you, and I want to be beautiful. Put the holy decree on the shelf and ignore it, and the court can't control it now.

All localities went their own way, no longer paying attention to the holy decree of the two emperors, and the Han court existed in name only.

Liu Bei is also sleek, and now he controls the security and city defense of Luoyang, and travels between princes and ministers and high-ranking magnates all day long. and used Lu Zhi's disciple everywhere to make friends with literati.

Lu Zhi was also a little helpless about Liu Bei, who had listened to his lectures. I don't remember that there was such a student in the lecture, since the other party said that it was his own student, he should have heard of his own class. At the beginning, there were many students under Youzhou, and in order to contribute to the township, they did not refuse.

Lu Zhi half-pushed and half-recognized the student.

This student is a talent, and he has only been in Luoyang for less than a month, and he has attracted the support of a large number of ministers. However, Liu Bei is the imperial uncle of Emperor Xian, and for the sake of the Han court, even if Liu Bei uses Lu Zhi's reputation to deceive, it is nothing. Lu Zhi is still a very generous person, and he is also very loyal to the Han family.

Cao Cao and Yuan Shao both had their own descendant troops in Luoyang, but Liu Bei did not, although they nominally controlled the forbidden army. That's only in name, Luoyang's forbidden army has a complex composition, and most of them are disciples of the family. On weekdays, just listen to Liu Bei's dispatch, if you dare to rely on the defenders of Luoyang and endanger the interests of the family, I am afraid that it will be Liu Bei himself who loses his head.

Liu Bei also knows this. I really want to form my own team, and there is no line in the center that can listen to me, that is, walking on the tip of a knife, dancing in the circle of fire, and I can't say when I will become cannon fodder.

Liu Bei fell in love with Guan Yu, who also had no foundation in Luoyang.

Guan Yu is a good person, strong in martial arts, brave in the three armies, and has no selfishness. And it has no political roots, it is easy to control. Relying on Zhou Yi's face, Guan Yu said that he had to give Liu Bei some face.

Guan Yu is also kind to Liu Bei, although he is not used to seeing Liu Bei entering and leaving the house of the powerful and wealthy with the face of Lu Shi, but he treats Liu Bei politely in Zhou Yi's face.

Sometimes the answer is different depending on the angle of standing. If Zhou Yi hadn't been first, Guan Yu would also feel that Liu Bei's ability to do this was also an ability. But with Zhou Yi as a comparison, Liu Bei is a little sleek and sophisticated. When Zhou Yi was in Luoyang, no one was afraid, and the second generation of officials in Luoyang and the second generation of the rich all walked around when they saw Zhou Yi.

Guan Yu's background still agrees with Zhou Yi's values. In other words, Guan Yu has been marked with Zhou Yi's mark. Everyone looks at Guan Yu, first of all, Guan Yu is strong in martial arts and a fierce general, and then you will think whose person is this? Ao, Zhou Yi's.

Zhou Yi's original mansion, Guan Yu still lives now.

At this time, everyone was willing to belong to a certain force, rather than see him as an independent person. You have to have your political stance, no? Sorry, no one wants to take you to play.

In Luoyang, Guan Yu is also known for his straight nature, which is also the reason why Guan Yu has won the three armies in recent years, but he has not been allowed to hold a high position. But Guan Yu has his own ethics, has no complaints and no regrets, and acts above board.

The political situation in Luoyang was stabilized in this way, and although the places where the government decrees could pass were limited, no one went to the trouble of the imperial court.

"Meng De, you said that the imperial court has no intention of going west, wouldn't it be useless for you and me to stay in Luoyang any longer." From time to time, Yuan Shao would pull Cao Cao to drink, Yuan Shao and Cao Cao had known each other since childhood, and they were the two demons of the world in Luoyang City.

When I was a teenager, I did a lot of absurdities together, and I was also scolded by Zhou Yi together. The world has changed, but I didn't expect that a few years later, both of them have become important ministers of the court.

"Originally, the imperial court was indeed unable to march west now, and you and I were just idle. In order to drink and listen to music as before, come, come, come, taste the Taibai brewery of this Taibai Restaurant. I was born to be useful, so I don't have to worry too much about it, sooner or later it will be the time for our brother to show his talents. Today we only drink alcohol. Cao Cao said as he let Yuan Shao drink.

"I think that at the beginning, when Youzhou Mula and I joined the gang, I didn't expect this restaurant to be so big. A few of us are still the best of Zhou Yiming, and we are already Youzhou Mu. Cao Cao took a sip of wine and sighed.

"Alas! Meng De, I mean the situation in the whole country, it is useless for us to stay in the central government any longer, it is better to decentralize the localities like Zhou Yi and become a state pastor......" Yuan Shao was very unwilling.

"Brother Benchu, be cautious!" Cao Cao interrupted Yuan Shao's words and drank to himself.

Neither of them expected that this would be the last time they would drink together as brothers. When we meet here, we are already meeting each other on the battlefield.

Cao Cao actually has a heart for extropidity, stumbling in Luoyang, and his official position is not small. The general of the second grade, but there are too many people who are bigger than his official position, and he doesn't have the final say in everything, so it's really better to be a local emperor. Develop the power, wait for the opportunity, once the world changes, you can take advantage of the trend.

Like now, the imperial court trapped itself in Luoyang, unable to move.

Cao Cao and Yuan Shao didn't want to stay in the court, and the emperor didn't want Cao Cao and Yuan Shao to march to Luoyang, but he rashly drove the two away, and he was afraid that the two would mutiny. Especially Cao Cao, if he wants to leave, he can, he wants to hand over the military power of the Xiyuan Army.

The court was waiting for the two to speak first, but the two did not have a suitable opportunity, fearing that once they spoke, the court would think that the two of them wanted to stand on their own feet and add to the disaster.

The opportunity came quickly, and in Qingzhou and Gunzhou, there was a rebellion with yellow turbans, and the local officials couldn't handle it, so the imperial court sent troops to quell the chaos. At this time, Cao Cao and Yuan Shao asked for a concert, wanting to lead the troops to quell the chaos.

The imperial court played on the spot, and took advantage of the situation to deprive Cao Cao of the command of the Xiyuan Army and give it to Liu Yu, the imperial lieutenant. Then let Cao Cao lead the Gon Prefecture Pastor, Yuan Shao lead the Qingzhou Pastor, and go to the local counterinsurgency.

This is the two of them are tigers entering the mountains, dragons returning to the sea, and happily receiving orders to go.

Opportunities are for those who are prepared, and the two brothers have been secretly planning for a long time.
