On March, Hanoi County, Qinghukou Daying.

Xu You, Feng Ji and Chen Lin hurriedly returned to Hanoi, accompanied by the trial of Jizhou Mansion.

Recently, Han Fu felt the pressure exerted on him by Yuan Shao, and he was a little frightened in his heart. This time, the imperial court asked him to act as an agent for state affairs, temporarily assume power, and let Yuan Shao lead the imperial history on his behalf. The combined authority of the two people is equivalent to controlling most of the imperial court, which is just an opportunity to restore the old good. So Han Fu sent a judge to probe Yuan Shao's tone. The trial accurately predicted the changes in the situation in the imperial court earlier, which made Han Fu appreciate the trial very much, and gradually relied on the trial.

The contingency measures of the Quanzhou court were all expected by Yuan Shao and others, but the only surprise was the refusal of the hussar general Li Yi to authority. Because Li Yi refused to take charge, Han Fu suddenly weighed weight. This made it much more difficult for Yuan Shao to take the military regime in Jizhou. The second is Yuan Peng's sentence.

Yuan Peng's words have a profound meaning, and they must not be simply understood as the imperial court supporting Yuan Shao to drive away Han Fu and take charge of the military and government of Jizhou. There must be something more important hidden in this sentence.

Fu Zhu, Xu You, Feng Ji, Chen Lin, Chun Yuqiong and other military and political officials sat around, discussing with each other and expressing their opinions.

Yuan Shao paced back and forth in the big tent with his hands behind his back, stopping from time to time to listen to the opinions of the staff.

"In my opinion, the imperial court wants to kill the lord and kill all the state and county officials in the Dong Alliance." Frustrated, the words shocked the four. There was a sudden silence in the tent.

Yuan Shao stopped, looking puzzled. What is the basis for this? Suddenly, a flash of inspiration flashed in his mind, and murderous aura appeared in his eyes.

When Yang Biao sent everyone out of Quanzhou, he talked about imperial power and prime minister's power, talked about the prosperity of Wenjing, and talked about Zhaoxuan Zhongxing. Although there were only a few words, passing by, the trial heard Zhao Yangbiao's extraneous voice. Because Yang Biao said it very secretly, neither Xu You nor Feng Ji noticed that when they reported their trip to Quanzhou to Yuan Shaoyu just now, neither of them mentioned it. However, some additions have been made in due course. The judge noticed that only the frustrated professor listened very carefully to his additions.

From Yang Biao's few words, he deduced that the imperial court had the intention of reforming the system. The restructuring will inevitably touch on the distribution of imperial power and relative power. In the past, Emperor Xiaoxuan's reform failed because the imperial power was too strong to weaken it, and with the death of Emperor Xiaoxuan, some national policies that benefited the country and the people disappeared. The emperor is unwilling to carry it out, what can the imperial court do?

Now that the Son of Heaven is in trouble, the society is in danger, and the imperial power is extremely weakened, it is the best time to reform, but the fundamental question that follows is how to solve the imperial system in the reform? There are huge differences between the two sides on the issue of imperial unification. The eldest princess, the Quanzhou court, and the hussar generals wanted to respect the son of today, while Yuan Shao and Han Fu, as well as a group of state and county officials, insisted on deposing the son of today and rebuilding the imperial system.

If the imperial system is not resolved, the reform cannot be carried out. If you want to unify the imperial system, there are only two ways, either Yuan Shao and Han Fu and other state and county officials give up the battle for imperial unity, or the imperial court will kill Yuan Shao and Han Fu and other state and county officials.

Because of this, Yuan Peng hoped that Yuan Shao would occupy Jizhou, not Jizhou, but also Yuzhou. As long as Yuan Shao has strong strength, he can resolutely confront the imperial court. Whether it is the imperial system or the reform, it all involves the fate of the Yuan valve, and if the Yuan valve wants to continue to be brilliant, one must control the imperial system, and the other must control the reform. Controlling the imperial system is actually controlling the reform, and controlling the reform, Yuan Valve will be able to be brilliant for generations.

"Gongyou, keep talking, you keep talking." Yuan Shao frowned and was silent when he saw Frustration, and hurriedly urged, "How to deal with it?" How are we going to respond today? ”

"It's very complicated, and the rest of the story is very complicated, and we have to sort it out one by one in order to deal with it calmly." "If the lord wants to control the imperial system and control the reform, he must first hold the authority alone. ”

"There are three people involved in the sole authority, the eldest princess, Jizhou Mu Hanfu, and the hussar general Li Yi. The eldest princess, we can not talk about it for the time being, because she is not a threat to the lord for the time being. The reason why the hussar general Li Yi refused to hold power was because he had learned the lesson of Dong Zhuo, he could stay away from the court without authority, and if he stayed away from the court, he could dominate the northern frontier, and he could achieve hegemony in the future. If the timing is good, he can also plot the royal business, so the hussar general will not pose a mortal threat to the lord for the time being. ”

"Jizhou Mu Han Fu has limited talent, limited fame, limited power, limited strength, the lord wants to replace him, it is as easy as a snap, what the lord cares about is just the loss of his prestige, so as long as we grasp the timing and strategy, it will naturally come to fruition. Therefore, Jizhou Mu Hanfu is not a threat to the lord. ”

"It is precisely the lord himself who poses a mortal threat to the lord's sole authority." Again, he was shocked.

Yuan Shao, Xu You and others were dumbfounded. Frustration and deliberation thoughtful.

"Gonghe, please speak up, I'll listen to you." Yuan Shao bowed very humbly and said.

"Because the lord has not yet had a plan to save the community, let alone a plan to revitalize the community." Frustrated, he bowed and bowed, and said, "From the day when the lord raised troops to fight against Dong to the present, he has been on a rampage, covering left and right, and conquering in all directions, but in the face of today's situation, can the lord have a strategy to save the society and quell the war?" After the war is quelled, can the lord have a strategy to revitalize the community? ”

Yuan Shao's face showed a look of horror, and he woke up the dreamer with a word. For more than a year, why have you never thought about what you have done, what you want to do, and what you will do in the future?

Yuan Shao was speechless and could only give a deep bow to show his gratitude.

Fu Zhu returned the salute again and continued: "A group of old ministers in the Quanzhou court are all Han Zhushi, they have presided over state affairs for many years, and they are extremely experienced. Now that they can put forward a strategy for revitalizing the social sector such as restructuring, they have naturally already drawn up a strategy to save the social sector. Therefore, the lord is now in a critical situation, and the lord should not only immediately deal with the small matter of seizing the military and political power in Jizhou, but also plan as soon as possible to plot hegemony, assist the Han family, and revitalize the community. ”

Yuan Shao was extremely shocked, and he walked back and forth in the big tent a few steps uncertainly, and then ordered a boycott. He should think carefully about his future and the future of the society.

In the evening, Yuan Shao once again convened the deliberations of his subordinates, such as Fu Zhu, Shen Pei, Xu You, Guo Tu, Feng Ji, Chen Lin, and Geng Bao.

Yuan Shao and the officials have been working hard and bloody for more than a year, and no matter what the circumstances, they all want to revitalize the society. However, in the face of today's complex and rapidly changing situation, they have never had a clear idea of how to revitalize the community. The words of the frustrated teaching day were like an initiation, and they suddenly saw the direction of progress.

What is Hegemony? Supporting the royal family is seeking hegemony.

In the Spring and Autumn Period, the Son of Heaven lost power, the royal power fell, and the princes rose up in turmoil. The first to challenge the authority of the royal family was Zheng Zhuanggong. Zheng Zhuanggong often offended King Zhou Huan, and King Zhou Huan led his troops to fight for him, but the result was a great defeat. The edge of hegemony began with Zheng Zhuang Gong, but it was Qi Huan Gong who really ascended to the position of overlord.

With the vigorous assistance of Guan Zhong, the Duke of Qi Huan became stronger and stronger, but the Duke of Qi Huan did not provoke the majesty of the royal power, but put forward the strategy of "respecting the king". He convened the princes to meet the alliance many times, and he served as the leader of the alliance to support the Zhou royal family and crusade against the princes who were not subordinate, intending to rebuild the great cause of the Zhou Duke and the auxiliary state of the country. King Zhou knew that the royal family was in decline, the imperial power had been light, and he was no longer able to rule the world. In this case, it is better to face up to the reality and rely on the hegemon of one side to stabilize the society. So, the king of Zhou issued an edict to the world, giving the prince of Qi Huan and the king's order to assist the country and the state.

After Duke Huan of Qi, he was succeeded by Duke Wen of Jin. During the reign of Duke Wen of the Jin Dynasty, King Xiang of Zhou's half-brother led Di Shi (Hu army) to capture the royal city and set himself up as king. After King Xiang was defeated and fled, he immediately turned to Jin and Qin for help. The minister of the Jin State was guilty of persuading the Duke of Wen of Jin to send troops to the king. Duke Wen of Jin then sent troops to fight the rebellion and help King Xiang restore the throne. Soon, Duke Wen of Jin defeated the powerful Chu army in the Battle of Chengpu, and from then on he weighed the Central Plains. After King Xiang of Zhou heard the news, he immediately gave the Marquis of Jin Wen and the king the order to rule the world with himself.

This is the "work of Huan and Wen" praised by later generations.

At that time, Confucius thought that the hegemony of the princes could assist the king of Zhou and achieve the cause of assisting the country and the state, so he called it the act of benevolence. But when it came to the Warring States Period, the princes chased the kings and successively assumed their titles, and the king of Zhou had to call himself the king of heaven to distinguish himself from the princes and kings who were arrogant. At this time, Mencius saw clearly the essence of the princes from hegemony to king, and established on behalf of Zhou, so he called the Spring and Autumn Five Tyrants the sinners of the three kings.

Yuan Shao believes that under the current circumstances, trying to dominate the industry and assist the country and the state can be regarded as a way out to save and revitalize the society. If you can succeed in hegemony, you can prosper and achieve great achievements.

However, many historical facts of the previous dynasty clearly and unmistakably tell the world that hegemony is only a means, and being a king is the goal. If I want to achieve hegemony, I must have the support of the state and county officials. How can I convince the state and county officials that I am not dominating for the sake of kingship, but for the sake of the naked cause of the ZTE Society? Is it inopportune to try to dominate the industry at this time, or the time has not yet come, it is too early?

Fu Zhu shook his head and said: "At this time, it is the right time to try to dominate the industry, if it is delayed, it will be difficult to revitalize the society." Looking at today, the Son of Heaven is in trouble, the imperial power is falling, the forces of all parties are rising, the national Zuo is on the verge of extinction, and the world is in chaos. If the lord no longer wants to dominate Asia, the Han will die. ”

"Today, there are five major forces in the world. The strongest is the hussar general Li Yi. Li Yi not only had the most powerful military force in the world, but also owned nearly half of the population of the Han Dynasty and two-thirds of the territory. Now that he has controlled the Northern Xinjiang Imperial Court, his strength has soared again. Even, if Li Yi tried to usurp the Han, it would not be too difficult. ”

"The second is Dong Zhuo, Dong Zhuo holds the Son of Heaven and the imperial court hostage, has the benefits of Guanzhong, and has 100,000 soldiers under his command. As long as he recovers, he will be able to sweep the world in just a few years. The Great Qin State and this dynasty all started from Guanzhong and dominated the world. ”

"Again, it's the lord. Although the lord only has a county in Bohai and has less than 30,000 troops under his command, the lord is the head of the Yuan lord family, the leader of the Dong Alliance, and is ordered to rule the world. These three things alone have made the lord have the most wealth in the world, and have been strongly supported by various states and counties, and at the same time occupy the greatest righteousness in the world. If the lord uses this as a basis to plot hegemony and compete with Li Yi and Dong Zhuo, it is just a gesture. ”

"The fourth major force is Yuan Shu. Because Yuan Shu became the ruler of Nanyang, he received the absolute support of the Yuan forces in Jing and Henan, and with the help of Sun Jian and Kong Ling, he could barely be regarded as a major force. ”

"The Yellow Turbans are the fifth largest force. Although the Yellow Turban Army is a rebellion of the Han Dynasty, their success or failure is directly related to the survival of the Han Dynasty and the above four major forces, so the Yellow Turban Army is definitely one of the major forces today. This is a fact, and we have to admit it. (To be continued.) )
