Three days later, the news of the Shanyue rebellion in Huiji County finally reached Shu County, and Yao Sheng couldn't sit still.

On this day, when the snow stopped, it was the coldest time, Yao Sheng rubbed his hands and came out of the house, wanting to look for Xu Chu, but unfortunately saw many officials coming in from outside the county government door in twos and threes.

Yao Sheng was puzzled, and when he saw his old acquaintance Zhang Yun, he went up and grabbed him, and asked, "Zhang Jun, Sheng took the liberty to ask for advice, Xu Hou Zhaoer and others are ...... in the past."

Zhang Yun looked a little aggrieved, since that time he 'fought' with Xie Zhen in front of everyone in the hall, many people thought that he would be sent out of the county by Xu Chuli soon, so he, the county gong Cao Peng, has become extremely sensitive, and many people have begun to stare at his position.

Zhang Yun glanced at Yao Sheng a few times in embarrassment, for fear of increasing his 'suspicion' if he answered, and it seemed rude if he didn't answer. When he was in a dilemma, Zhou Yi arrived from behind, glanced at the two people standing in the snow, and said with a smile: "Zhang Jun and Yao Duwei, why are you standing in the snow?" ”

Yao Sheng took the opportunity to say: "I wanted to go and ask to see Xu Hou, but when I saw Zhang Jun passing by, I asked. ”

"The Ming Mansion has a life first, if Captain Yao asks to see him, he can go straight to the hall." Zhou Yi invited with his hand, "Du Wei, how about going to see the Ming Mansion with us?" ”

Zhang Yun has dealings with Zhou Xin, Yao Sheng knows the inside story, and Zhou Yi has also heard about it, otherwise he would not have suggested that Xu Chu go to explore the tone of the Wujun family.

Xu Chu sat down in the hall early in the morning, and when he saw Yao Sheng coming together with Zhang Yun and Zhou Yi, he smiled and said, "Yao Duwei is a guest from afar, please take a seat." ”

Yao Shengqian conceded: "If you are not an official of Lujiang, if it is inconvenient......

Xu Chu waved his hand, "It's okay." ”

Yao Sheng no longer twisted, and sat down under Xu Chu generously.

This time to summon everyone to talk, Xu Chu has been planning for a long time, and it was not until last night that he finally waited until Luoyang had a conclusive news to Lujiang County, which was a series of changes in Luoyang since Dong Zhuo entered Beijing. After Dong Zhuo entered Luoyang, some of Xu Chu had already learned about it through the letters of Cao Cao, Xun Yu and others, and some of it was only learned last night.

Therefore, the greatest significance of today's deliberation is that Xu Chu asked these officials in Lujiang County to be mentally prepared for the upcoming expedition, so as to avoid possible turmoil in the hearts of the people. Yao Sheng happened to come by chance, and he also happened to listen to the opinion of this 'resourceful man' who had been looked at by He Jin.

Xu Chu motioned to Xi Zhong to talk about what happened in Luoyang during this time.

Xi Zhong then came to the hall, cleared his throat, and spoke eloquently.

A series of changes started after Dong Zhuo abolished 'Shi Hou' Liu Xie and established 'Dong Hou' Liu Wei. A few days after Liu Wei ascended the throne, Dong Zhuolu killed the Empress Dowager He who was moved to Yong'an Palace, and the Empress Dowager He was rescued by Lu Zhi that day, and she did not escape this catastrophe after all. After that, the body of the former chariot general He Miao was taken out of the coffin, dismembered and cut into segments, and discarded on the side of the road, and then killed He Jin and He Miao's mother Wuyangjun. The He family in Nanyang, which was once prominent, has completely withdrawn from the stage of history and disappeared.

Everyone gritted their teeth and said that Dong Zhuo was cruel and unreasonable. Dong Zhuo is indeed cruel and unreasonable, but the political struggle has always been extremely bloody, poisoning the Empress Dowager He and killing Wuyangjun are all Dong Zhuo's efforts to cut the grass and eradicate the roots, and in addition to being ruthless, he also took this opportunity to remind the scholars in Beijing - the fate of fighting me is not only as simple as death, but also to crush your bones and scatter ashes after death.

After everyone's discussion subsided, Xi Zhong then said Dong Zhuo's next move. After removing the He family in Nanyang, Dong Zhuo operated the imperial court, worshiped Liu Yu, who was far away in Youzhou, and Liu Yu, who was also the commander of the Taiwei, as the great Sima, and was crowned the Marquis of Xiangben; Yang Biao, a doctor in Taizhong, was reappointed as Sikong, and Huang Wan, a Yuzhou Mu who was called to Luoyang, was appointed as Situ. He himself was reappointed as a lieutenant from the vacant position, added the post of former general, and was given the title of marquis. After the appointment of the third duke was issued, a group of sons of the ministers of the court and the central government were successively promoted to serve the Son of Heaven in place of the eunuchs who were cut off during the palace coup.

When Xi Zhong said this, Xu Chu interrupted and asked Yao Sheng, "What is Yao Duwei's opinion on this?" ”

Hearing this, Yao Sheng got up and saluted everyone, and said: "This is Dong Thief's gesture of gratitude, and there is no lack of his cunning and prudence. ”

Yao Sheng's opinion is: Although the Taiwei has no real power, he is still the supreme commander of the Han army in name, and in order to make himself 'worthy of the name', Dong Zhuo has taken over the post of former general since he became the Taiwei, and both nominally and substantively, he has grasped the command of the army of the Han Dynasty in his hands, so that it will be difficult for those ministers in the capital who are waiting, hesitant or resentful to turn the storm again. At the same time, this appointment was also aimed at Gai Xun and Huangfu Song, who were loyal to the Han Dynasty in Jing Zhaoyin and Youfufeng.

Besides, worship Liu Yu as the Great Sima, the official position of the Great Sima has a long history, and this position was changed to Taiwei in the former Qin Dynasty, and the Han Dynasty inherited the Qin system, and there was no position of the Great Sima at first. But when Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, Emperor Wu in order to centralize power, reset the Great Sima, and then this position was often granted to the relatives in power, after the rise of Guangwu Zhongxing, at the beginning of the use of the Great Sima as one of the three dukes, and then changed back to Taiwei, since then there will no longer be the position of the Great Sima, the way this time Dong Zhuo will be the Great Sima, Taiwei two positions at the same time. This is obviously two positions that do not need to exist at the same time, Yao Sheng thinks that this is because Dong Zhuo knows that his prestige is insufficient, but he doesn't want the position of Taiwei to fall into the hands of others, so he changed Liu Yu from Taiwei to Da Sima, and put Da Sima above the three dukes. As a result, Dong Zhuo killed two birds with one stone, one was to show his 'modesty' in this way, and he was willing to live under Liu Yu, and second, Liu Yu was far away in Youzhou, so he gave him the big Sima and couldn't manage the military affairs of the court.

Worshipping Yang Biao as Sikong and Huang Wan as Situ is also killing two birds with one stone.

Yang Biao is from the Hongnong Yang family, the Hongnong Yang family has been the third prince for generations, and the reputation of the clan alone is not weaker than the Yuan family of Runan. Most of the reasons for worshipping Yang Biao are because of Yuan Kui and Yuan Shao. Yuan Kui had to succumb to Dong Zhuo's tyranny on the surface, but anyone can see that as long as there is a chance, the first person to stand up and pull Dong Zhuo off the horse must be Yuan Kui, Yuan's two descendants Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu, one in Nanyang and the other in Jizhou, the recruitment of troops and horses is huge, and the opposition is already very obvious, in order to balance the authority of the DPRK and China and prevent the Yuan family from colluding with the outside world, Dong Zhuo has to get Yuan Kui down from the third duke and lift Yang Biao, whose reputation is not weaker than Yuan Kui.

Let's talk about Huang Wan, although Huang Wan is also a famous family, Dong Zhuo's starting point of worshiping Huang Wan and worshipping Yang Biao is different. Huang Wan is the pastor of Yuzhou, and his power is too great. At the beginning of last year, Huang Wan arrived in Yuzhou, and Bao Hong, the captain of the West Garden at that time, pacified the Yellow Turban Rebellion in Yuzhou, before Dong Zhuo abolished the Son of Heaven, he operated the imperial court to edict Huang Wan to enter the court, but Huang Wan walked very slowly after receiving the edict, until Dong Zhuo was the assassin of Yuzhou, Huang Wan really couldn't delay, and then entered Henan Yin. In order to remove the title of 'Yuzhou Mu' on Huang Wan's head, so that Yuzhou, which is next to Henan Yin in the east of Luoyang, would have a state pastor who could calm the war with military and political power as his hand, Dong Zhuo took great pains to worship Huang Wan as Situ.

Huang Wan, who has a high reputation and military prestige, was replaced by Kong Ling, who 'talks about high theories and boasts', and Zhou Mu has been replaced by Thorn History, Dong Zhuo is much more relieved.

Yao Sheng's comment, Xu Chu heard similar words from Guo Jia and Xi Zhong last night. Rao is like this, Xu Chu is still frightened. Yao Sheng used to be the general's mansion, there must be a channel to get the news, it is one thing to have a channel, whether he will deliberately inquire, and it is another thing to be able to read the true meaning after inquiry.

After listening to Yao Sheng's words, Xu Chu can say with certainty: Yao Sheng has yielded talent. Yao Sheng can quickly get these analyses through intelligence, which shows that his mind has not been wiped out, and his heart is still in the world, not just in Yangzhou like Zhou Xin.

Everyone in the hall also looked at Yao Sheng with admiration in the sun, and when Yao Sheng sat back at the banquet, Xu Chu sighed to everyone: "Yao Duwei has lofty ambitions and is very intelligent, but Zhou Danyang is still thinking about wrestling with neighboring counties at this critical juncture, which is a pity." ”

Yao Sheng naturally understood the voice, so he said modestly: "The prince and the marquis have praised it, and he is the captain of Danyang in his shyness, which is already a big use." He also said: "As the prince said, Zhou Taishou also regrets it very much now, so he let him come to visit and abandon his previous suspicions with the prince." ”
