80. New Deal 1

After a great turmoil, the city gradually returned from chaos to calm, and the Son of Heaven also returned to the palace. www.biquge.info In order to tell the world that the world of the Han Empire has regained tranquility, the Han court revised the Guangxi era name at the beginning of the new emperor's accession to the throne, and set the new era name as Zhaoning.

Although the name of the year has been changed, the days of the people of Qianshou are still as usual, but above the court, after suddenly losing the two pillars of the court of relatives and eunuchs, they immediately added the soldiers and horses of King Qin headed by Dong Zhuo, as if they wanted to be in the same court with the party members and scholars.

In this wave of power vacuum in the imperial court, the Dong soldiers from Hedong reacted most quickly, taking advantage of the opportunity when the three relatives, party members, and eunuchs were greatly injured by the struggle of the imperial court, and intervened strongly, not only to save the driver, but also to successfully occupy a place in the imperial court.

But this balance is only temporary, and the party has never thought of discussing the government with Dong Zhuo, a martial artist who commands troops outside the town, and Dong Zhuo's foundation in the court is not deep, and it is difficult for him to gain a long-term foothold in the court as a military general in the foreign town.

Therefore, this kind of quiet situation in which the military generals, party members, and scholars in the court gathered together and sat down to talk about the Tao was only on the surface, and the party members who broke the situation in this chaos in private and the military generals who came from behind faintly formed a confrontation, and there was a tendency to resist the court, and all parties began to do everything possible to squeeze the living space of political enemies above the court in order to maintain their dominant position.

The party led by Yuan Shao has long been familiar with the battles above the court, so they are also the first to take the lead, and simply make mistakes, and introduce the soldiers and horses of Mengjin's Ding Yuan and Zhou into Luoyang, and canonize Ding Yuan as the ruling Jinwu.

When the ruling Jinwu was in peace, he was also in charge of 200 Tiqi and 520 halberders, who were responsible for patrolling, prohibiting violence, supervising rape and other tasks in the capital. When he inspected the Beijing Division, the fresh cars were angry and the horses were shining, so in the late Han Dynasty, when Liu Xiu traveled to Chang'an, there would be a sigh of "Shi Eun as the ruling Jinwu, and marrying a wife should be Yin Lihua".

And now the party led by Yuan Shao is trying their best to support Ding Yuan to the prominent position of holding Jinwu, on the one hand, in order to marry Ding Yuan, and on the other hand, in order to hold Dong Zhuo's soldiers and horses stationed in Luoyang City. Zhi Jinwu is the same as the lieutenant of the Northern Army and the captain of the city gate, they all belong to the same category of the city guard, He Hao is the lieutenant of the Northern Army, Wu Qiong is the captain of the city gate, and the position of the city guard is still in the hands of the party, but the soldiers and horses of the five schools of the Northern Army and the Xiyuan New Army have suffered heavy casualties because of successive civil wars, and they cannot compete with Dong Zhuo's Qin Hu Jinshu, so the party's eyes are on the soldiers and horses of the state who are also known as the elite border troops of the Han Empire.

After winning over Ding Yuan, Yuan Shao and others regained the relative weakness of the army, and Bao Xin, who was more radical among the party members, had just returned from recruiting troops from his hometown of Taishan.

It's a pity that Yuan Shao was already in a weak position in public opinion because he led the troops to attack the two palaces without an edict, and he was ready to first taoguang and raise obscurity, strive to compete with Dong Zhuo on the soldiers' horses, seek a breakthrough in the imperial court, and use the political methods that the party members are more sure and familiar with to squeeze out Dong Zhuo, a warrior with no foundation, so he did not adopt Bao Xin's suggestion.

Yuan Shao's side had some scruples, and he left a step while making a move, but Dong Zhuo's side quickly reacted, but he started to fight like a fellow soldier, without mercy.

Dong Zhuo first used the trickery of soldiers and horses, allowing his cavalry to use mobility to return at night and day, and make a sign that he had a large number of soldiers and horses constantly coming from Hedong to confuse the hearts of the people in Luoyang City. Immediately afterwards, he took a two-pronged approach, on the one hand, through Dong Min's bridge, he did not hesitate to attract the remnants of the two brothers He Jin and He Miao, and on the other hand, he lured Ding Yuan's chief bookkeeper Lu Bu, a native of Wuyuan, and killed Ding Yuan, Dong Zhuo and Lu Bu were about father and son, and successfully annexed the soldiers and horses of the annexed state through Lu Bu.

At this point, Yuan Shao's plan to compete with Dong Zhuo on the soldiers was all bankrupt, and Dong Zhuo also moved towards his next step. After the soldiers and horses completely overwhelmed the Yuan brothers, he began to lay out the court again. On the grounds of the long rain in the sky, he went to the imperial court to remove Liu Hong, the secretary, from his post and replaced him with his own rescue.

This practice of deposing the Three Princes by natural disasters and changes originated from the doctrine of "the unity of heaven and man" of Dong Zhongshu of the former Han Dynasty, which gave the Son of Heaven the sacred status of "being ordered by heaven" while also restricting the emperor's every move through "heaven's will". However, the strength of the two sides is not equal in this way of restriction, which is obviously a big flaw, and at the beginning, the emperor often needs to issue an edict because of natural disasters and man-made disasters, but in the future, it has become just a form of impeachment of the three dukes.

This is also a habitual means of fighting between all parties in the Han court, Dong Zhuo used this political means to become the position of the three dukes, and with the identity of Sikong, he soon recruited court officials in important positions such as Shangshu Ding Gong and Shangshu Zhou Bi, and recruited a group of Liangzhou celebrities such as Jia Xu, and began to request the recruitment of some well-known party members and scholars at home as officials, including Cai Yong, Xun Shuang, Chen Ji, Han Rong, Shen Tupan and a large number of celebrities.

Suddenly, Dong Zhuo, who came from other towns, was like a fresh blood poured into the terminally ill Han court, making the old man of the Han Empire unexpectedly show a trace of vitality.

And Dong Zhuo wanted far more than that, after he occupied an absolute advantage in the soldiers and formed his own set of forces in the court, he began to plan his own new policy, and the first step of the new policy was to abolish the emperor.

The abolition of the emperor is a major matter related to the world, the reason why Dong Zhuo wants to do this, is not without careful consideration, although he has become a firm foothold in the imperial court in the position of the third duke, and has also attracted other court officials to form his own set of court forces, but the position of the three dukes is far from satisfying Dong Zhuo's ambition to reform the government and take charge of the imperial court, and regardless of his vacant position, he may also be impeached and removed from office by other courtiers using the variables of natural and man-made disasters, in terms of status alone, The position of Sikong can't suppress the head of the courtiers and the prince above the three dukes - Taifu Yuan Kui.

Therefore, only by deposing the emperor can Dong Zhuo form his own absolute authority and prestige. Wang Meiren, the biological mother of the prince's association, died early, he was raised by the Empress Dowager Dong, known as Dong Hou, and now the maternal Dong family was eradicated in one fell swoop after He Jin took charge of the government, so if he supported Dong Hou and the prince's association as the emperor, and Dong Zhuo of the close prince's association turned around in his surname, he became a relative like He Jin, then he came to take charge of the government again, according to the story of the Han family, it was really justified, and he was not afraid of other people's impeachment.

Therefore, although he knew that the abolition of the Son of Heaven was very important, how could Dong Zhuo, who had already tried the sweetness of the central power of the imperial court, be willing to give up this opportunity to take charge of the court, it was imperative to abolish the Son of Heaven, even if there was no suitable name Dong Zhuo would have to create one.

Of course, before the abolition, Dong Zhuo also needed to find out the opinions of other people above the court, so the first person he looked for was the new leader of the party, Yuan Shao Yuan Benchu, who led a group of people to turn the tide and eradicate the eunuchs in this palace chaos.
