Dong Zhuo died, Luoyang fell into the hands of the princes' coalition, and Lu Bu was pardoned for his previous sins of defecting to Dong Zhuo because of his meritorious service in saving the driver, but he was also thrown out of the power center by Yuan Shao and others.

Of course, Lu Bu was not angry, but his power was not as good as Yuan Shao, so he had to swallow his anger.

Wang Yun is just using Lu Bu, now that Yuan Shao is in charge of Luoyang, Diao Chan is taken away by Cao Ju, of course he will not take care of Lu Bu anymore.

However, there is a very troublesome thing now, that is, Liu Bian is also the emperor again in Chang'an.

There are no two days, but in the current Han Dynasty, there are two emperors.

It is said that Liu Xie is the orthodox emperor, and since Liu Bian is the emperor again, Liu Xie should abdicate, and Liu Xie does have this idea, and he also told the ministers about it.

However, no one agreed, especially Yuan Shao and others, who resolutely opposed Liu Xie's abdication.

Liu Xie's abdication is a princely king, and the princes and kings are far from the emperor, at least after Liu Xie's abdication, these princes have no rights, and even have to obey the emperor manipulated by Cao Ju.

Coerced the Son of Heaven to order the princes, almost every prince wanted to do this, but the small princes just thought about it, but the big princes moved their minds, including Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu brothers.

Yuan Shao was a smart man, and after entering Luoyang City, he immediately incorporated Dong Zhuo's soldiers, and first expanded his own power.

Yuan Shao started early, and when the other princes reacted, Dong Zhuo's old ministry had been almost incorporated by Yuan Shao, making Yuan Shao's troops suddenly become 200,000 and become the first of the princes' strength.

Above the court, Yuan Shao's voice was the loudest: "Your Majesty, since the first emperor has abdicated, he will no longer be the emperor, the Great Khan is the son of heaven, that is, Your Majesty, Your Majesty should keep the ancestral foundation, how to talk about abdication lightly?" ”

Liu Xie is still a child after all, Yuan Shao and the others didn't explain the words, he was a little puzzled, and hesitated: "But, Yuan Aiqing, the imperial brother has already proclaimed himself emperor in Chang'an, the so-called heaven has no two days, how can I be called the emperor in the south?" ”

Yuan Shao said: "Your Majesty, the edict of the first emperor was intended to be passed on to His Majesty, but it was the conspiration of the general He Jin and the Empress Dowager He to support the enthronement of the great prince. ”

"This ......" Liu Xiedeng hesitated a little, he didn't know that he would be overshadowed by Yuan Shao and others for the emperor, just a puppet, but he knew that it was difficult to be an emperor, he was very busy all day long, and he was not free at all, so he wanted to abdicate.

Liu Xie looked at Wang Yun, but unfortunately, Wang Yun is also a power-hungry person, he has already discussed it with Yuan Shao, Yuan Shao is a general, he is Situ, but one person is above ten thousand people.

So, Wang Yun came out of the class and said: "Your Majesty, Weichen also thinks that Your Majesty should not abdicate." ”

In this way, the rest of the civil and military forces said in unison: "Your Majesty cannot abdicate." ”

At this moment, Liu Xie was dumbfounded, and all the officials didn't let him abdicate: "But, the imperial brother is ......"

Yuan Shao snorted coldly and said: "Your Majesty, this is Cao Ju's conspiracy, if you want to split my Han Dynasty, Your Majesty not only cannot abdicate, but needs to issue an edict to crusade against Cao thieves and correct the law of the country." ”

When Cao Cao heard this, he felt very uncomfortable, he was also surnamed Cao, and he was of the same clan as Cao Ju, Yuan Shao's words seemed to scold him.

However, Cao Ju's development at these times is too fast, so fast that Cao Cao is jealous, and Cao Cao is also a generation of heroes who are unwilling to be subordinate, so it is absolutely impossible for him to take his own command to Cao Ju.

In the past, Cao Cao may not have been very ambitious, but since he got a group of generals such as Xu Chu, Li Dian, Le Jin, Yu Ban, etc., plus the Xiahou brothers, the strength is not weak, as long as there are soldiers and territory, he can definitely become a prince, and at that time, the problem of strategists will also be solved.

After saying that, Yuan Shao also seemed to find that he had scolded Cao Cao with his words, and immediately turned his head and said to Cao Cao: "Meng De, Shao's words are only for Cao Ju, not for you." ”

Cao Cao nodded and said, "Don't worry about it at the beginning, Cao Zhiye." ”

The rest of the princes, although they were very dissatisfied with Yuan Shao's sudden appearance on their heads, and they were also very unconvinced, but they would not dismantle Yuan Shao's platform, otherwise, once Liu Xie abdicated, they would have no rights.

The central ruler can always only be one person, and Yuan Shao achieved this goal as he wished after experiencing the end of being beheaded.

However, as for Yuan Shu, he has always considered himself the sole heir of the Yuan family, and he is naturally extremely dissatisfied with Yuan Shao's domineering holding of the right to speak in the imperial court.

When Yuan Kui and those old guys were there, they could still restrain the dispute between Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu's brothers, but only Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu were left in the Yuan family, who could stop Yuan Shu?

When discussing the merits and rewards of the princes, Yuan Shu was not satisfied, because the princes and the two armies had two roads, the north and the south, and the princes of the north road, and he was the only one of the princes of the south road. However, he alone shackled Dong Zhuo's considerable strength, so his skills were far from being comparable to Yuan Shao.

As a result of the discussion, Yuan Shao was appointed as the general, and Yuan Shuren was the hussar general, which was already very favored by their old Yuan family, but Yuan Shu was not satisfied with this, he thought that he should be the general, and Yuan Shao should be the hussar general.

So, after Yuan Shao appeased Cao Cao, Yuan Shu began to sing the duet, and said coldly: "What is one Cao divided into two, if you don't say anything today, why will you sing tomorrow?" ”

Yuan Shao's face turned to the side, and he glanced at Cao Cao, the latter's face changed greatly, and Yuan Shao immediately shouted: "Originally, don't talk nonsense, Meng De and I have grown up since childhood, loyal to the monarch and patriotic, we all know, how can we determine Meng De's heart because of Cao Ju alone, and we must not say it again." ”

Of course, Cao Cao was extremely dissatisfied with Yuan Shu's words, but in the presence of the Manchu Dynasty's civil and military forces, his surname was indeed Cao, and he was the same as Cao Ju, so he didn't speak.

Yuan Shu also found that his words were a little problematic, but he refused to admit defeat in front of Yuan Shao, and said with a faint smile: "Perhaps, you can't go through people's hearts, and you don't know what you want to do without stories." ”

Unexpectedly, Yuan Shu didn't give him face at all, Yuan Shao was furious, and was about to go crazy again, when Cao Cao suddenly spoke: "At the beginning, what the highway said was very true, Cao Ju was ****, and he wanted to discuss it with the original and the highway." ”

Yuan Shao was overjoyed and said: "This is very good, Meng De, just wait for Luoyang to settle the matter, and Gu and you will discuss it." ”

This reward, Cao Cao was awarded because of his small merit, but because of his kindness to Yuan Shao, he was named one of the court captains of the Nine Qings.

Yuan Shu heard this, sneered and said: "That's very true, but if the crusade is unsuccessful, what should I do?" ”
