Chapter 179: Gift-giving

Emperor Huan of the Han Dynasty also had a relative named Dou Wu. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE怂 info Emperor Huan had no children, so Dou Wu and Emperor Huan's empress Dou Miao established the Ling Emperor who was twelve years old at the time.

Let's not talk about why Dou Wu wanted to set up such a young Ling Emperor, but maybe it is because the disaster of Liang Ji is just around the corner, or it is possible that this Dou Wu himself was born as a Confucian, and his ideological consciousness is relatively high, and he is an auxiliary government but not a dictatorship...... All in all, it is to share the world with the scholars.

At that time, the eunuchs had become extremely arrogant and domineering after several generations of emperors, so Dou Wu and the famous minister Chen Fan (that is, Chen Zhongju, who threatened to sweep the world) conspired to kill the eunuchs.

It's a pity that the plan was leaked, and the eunuchs fought for the alliance with blood, and Dou Wu and Chen Fan were counter-killed, and a large number of people were involved at the same time, and the power of the eunuchs became heavier.

From this point of view, the new emperor who is still young to succeed to the throne must either have relatives to control the overall situation first, or have the support of eunuchs.

But now Liu Xie doesn't have either, which is why Chu Yi has to hook up with the Yang family.

First, Liu Xie is too young to control the situation.

Second, he didn't have relatives to choose for him, Emperor Han Ling had a queen He and her brother He Jin, but these two people were interested in Liu Wei, and they were dead. If the Empress Dowager Dong is still there, Chu Yi can rest assured that the Empress Dowager Dong will be the regent temporarily, after all, Liu Xie is her own grandson. But Empress Dowager Dong was placed under house arrest by He and "died of grief".

The third eunuch can also be used, for the emperor, no one in the world can be more reliable than the eunuch, and it can also help Chu Yi attract firepower. But unfortunately, the eunuchs were also killed.

This has led to an embarrassing situation, Liu Xie, who is now less than ten years old, is isolated and helpless, and has no one to rely on at all.

Therefore, Chu Yi must find foreign aid, and can ensure that after Dong Zhuo's death, he can reasonably take over the power vacuum left by Dong Zhuo, so as not to cause chaos.

According to what he wanted in his heart, let Xun Yu, Liu Bei, Cai Yong and others stabilize the state and county externally, and he Chu Yi joined forces with Cao Cao and Xun You, and united with the Yang family's Wang Yunhuang Fu Song to stabilize the court situation within the imperial court. By the way, farm and wait for time. Let Jia Xu and Zhong Xuan be able to cultivate Liu Xie, and after a few years, Liu Xie will grow into a pro-government, and as soon as the power of the Son of Heaven comes out, the overall situation can be determined!

After that, he can bring many famous generals such as Lu Bu, Guan Yu, Zhang Liao, etc. to the north, and there will be Erxun, Jia Xu, Guo Jia and other masterminds available, and they will definitely be able to win a big victory. Then, with the aftermath of the victory, he was able to restrict the family and reform the government.

This is the plan in Chu Yi's heart, if everything goes well, he will be able to subdue the grassland desert and drink the horse Beihai within ten years. Sharpen the knife and lead the troops westward.

Chu Yi believes that although this plan is quite idealistic, it is also feasible.

It's just that now Chu Yi finds that he seems to be thinking too simply......

The harem and relatives were killed by Yuan Shao, and the eunuchs were killed cleanly. Therefore, the court should have been the world of the family, which has never been a situation in the Han Dynasty for hundreds of years.

Empress Dowager Dong died first, He Jin was also killed by eunuchs, and He Miao was also killed by his subordinates in a daze, leaving only a Empress Dowager He without foreign aid and a young and cowardly new monarch Liu Wei.

Back then, the He family killed Liu Xie's biological mother because of jealousy, and Emperor Han Ling was furious because of this and wanted to abolish the queen, but it was the eunuchs' hard persuasion that kept the status of the Empress Dowager He, so it is only right to say that the He family should form an alliance with the eunuchs.

However, He Jin himself was born as a butcher, and he had some inferiority complex in the face of the family itself, and he was violently poured ecstasy soup by the family, so he slapped his ass and decided to fight the eunuch to the death.

The eunuch group was quite calm at first, although they were domineering, but they also knew that the source of their power was the royal family. So at first, they wanted to make friends with He Jin. They collectively abandoned Jian Shuo and gave up their military power in order to reconcile with He Jin. But He Jin's head was hot under the bewitchment of Yuan Shao and others, and he had to fight to the death with the eunuchs.

Empress Dowager He and He Miao both dissuaded He Jin, and after killing the eunuchs, their relatives would become the target of public criticism. But He Jin didn't know what his surname was under the encouragement of the family, and he had long forgotten how the last cousin Dou Wu who wanted to do this was killed by the eunuchs.

So Yuan Shao led people to slaughter the palace, and his relatives and eunuchs died en masse. Liu Wei had no support, so he could only let the families fight for power...... It should have been like this, but Dong Zhuo's arrival broke everything and forcibly took away the "fruits of victory" of the family.

The family naturally resented it in their hearts.

But if Dong Zhuo doesn't do that, then the power of the central government will be extremely dispersed, and the various families will definitely play out their dog's brains in order to fight for power, and the situation will definitely be turbulent at that time.

Dong Zhuo's mistakes helped to centralize power. But after killing Dong Zhuo, how will power be transferred?

Chu Yi naturally cannot directly take power because of his age and qualifications. Liu Xie was too young to be assisted by eunuchs. And the family will not sit idly by, so naturally they will have to share a big piece of the pie.

Therefore, Chu Yi's top priority now is to get as much recognition and recognition as possible from the family before getting rid of Dong Zhuo. In this way, after removing Dong, the families can rest assured that they will share a little more power and hand it over to Chu Yi.

Chu Yi pondered for a long time, and if he wanted to gain the recognition of the families, the fastest way was to marry the family.

But Chu Yi already has Cai Yan, and it is impossible to marry someone else. Although Cai Yong is famous, the Cai family is not a big family and cannot represent the family.

Want to give the Maison peace of mind......

Chu Yi pondered, marrying is definitely a good way to appease the family, but he can't do it......

Chu Yi muttered to himself: "Maybe you can use Liu Xie's harem as a bargaining chip......

The so-called politics is nothing more than the exchange of interests, Chu Yi's side has a heavy army in his hands is only Dong Zhuo's second, and then give the families a bright future, so as to stabilize them. will make the people of the world feel that the world is peaceful, and there are no traitors in the court.

Well, Liu Xie will be in vain after the New Year, you can find him a queen, and find him two more nobles, all of which are decided by the family, and they must be able to appease them.

As for Liu Xie's age, Chu Yi was not worried at all, Emperor Zhao of the Han Dynasty married Shangguan when he was twelve years old, there is a precedent to be found, and the government and the opposition will not have any objections.

That's politics...... Presumably, even if Xun Yu and Cao Cao are here, they will have to make corresponding compromises......

Chu Yi felt a little aggrieved, but considering the overall situation, he still had to rely on the family's recognition and help. When Liu Xie is in power and the court is stable, Chu Yi can slowly have a showdown with the family.

Moreover, Cao Liu is not a child of a family, Er Xun can also be trusted, Jia Xu will at least not oppose him......

And the Xun family is now in charge of Xun Yu, and Chu Yi can rely on it with confidence. It's a pity that Sikong Xun Shuang was the same as in history in May this year, and the Xun family lost one less person to carry the flag...... This has reduced the strength of the Xun family a lot.

Chu Yi gradually figured it out, ate dinner, and pondered which one to go to tomorrow to start visiting. At this time, a servant reported that Dong Huang sent someone to come to the door.

Chu Yi called with a smile: "Qing'er, get ready, someone has come to give gifts, don't be dazzled!" ā€
