Chapter 71: The World Is Settled
In Luoyang City, Dong Zhuo's stay. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
In fact, even in the original time and space, Dong Zhuo only began to give up on himself after moving the capital to Chang'an, maybe staying in the palace at night or something may not exist, after all, using this method to smear someone is also what scholars are best at.
If not, how can the justice of the court be highlighted?
Dong Zhuo has a mansion in Luoyang, and generally in his capacity, if there is no mansion in Luoyang, he will be looked down upon, unless the family is completely declining, he will choose to sell the house, or be seized. Even if you don't have the ability, buying a house around the capital is a natural move, and all dynasties are no exception.
"Wenyou, do you think a republic is feasible? If not, where do we go from here? Dong Zhuo felt a lot older, and looked at Li Ru with a somewhat helpless look.
If you have to say it, in fact, this is the change brought by Li Yu. The main reason is that Ding Yuan was too fast, so that Dong Zhuo didn't have time to fully control these forbidden soldiers. Although there is now surveillance and does not allow them to take action, if the forbidden army really breaks out and cooperates with Ding Yuan's department, there will be certain unknown factors.
The more fundamental factor is that everyone was originally just sitting and watching Yuan Valve and Dong Zhuo fight, but now when it comes to whether the republic can be implemented, the gate valve has already been on the ship, so naturally it can no longer be indifferent. And because of taking the lead in developing business, the family's income has increased several times in the past two years, which has increased the proportion of family soldiers who can be recruited, and even the forbidden army under their control, again.
The forbidden army unconsciously became no longer an embroidered pillow, and the key is the army of the Eighth School of the West Garden, not counting the military academy captain's department, and the remaining seven departments also have high combat effectiveness. If it weren't for Dong Zhuo bringing tens of thousands of troops and controlling Liu Xie, I am afraid that the two sides would have quarreled over the issue of interests.
Dong Zhuohui admitted the fact that Liu Wei had died, and worked with the family to support Liu Xie to the top, although he had his interests, the key was to compromise with the family.
At present, there are only two ways in front of him: either agree to the republic, or fight with the internal and external coalition forces of the family lords.
It is true that the city wall of Luoyang City is very high, but the city wall is mainly a means of external defense, and the caged chicken rebels, and the defensive effect of the city wall is much worse. It is precisely with this result in mind that Dong Zhuo is really helpless now.
"There are many benefits to a republic, but not to my father-in-law. The composition of the Guy Congress is almost all of the family's gates, and the father-in-law only occupies one seat, which can cause little influence. And many of the father-in-law's ideas infringe on the interests of these families, and they are afraid that it will be difficult to support the father-in-law.
In this way, even if a republic is established, the father-in-law is just a marginal person, and there is no benefit! Li Ru immediately replied.
In fact, Dong Zhuo had already denied the republic system from the beginning, otherwise he would not have considered how to do it in an inappropriate situation. What he had to do was to state the reasons why he wanted to reject the republic.
Li Ru looked at Dong Zhuo, who was obviously also thinking about it, so he said the follow-up plan: "Now we seem to be at a disadvantage, but Your Majesty is in our hands, this is our greatest advantage." How to give full play to this advantage is something we should consider. As for the issue of the forbidden army and Ding Yuan, it actually doesn't matter. ”
"So what do we do?" When Dong Zhuo heard this, he immediately became interested, and seemed to have caught something.
"Move the capital to Chang'an, slowly figure it out!" Li Ru said the third option.
There is no need to compromise, and there is no need to fight with others, just need to move the emperor to Chang'an and close Hangu Pass, then both the courtiers and Ding Yuan can only stare dryly.
When the time comes, a new court will be formed in Chang'an, all of which will be the court of his Dong Zhuo's own people! Now there is no shortage of means of enlightenment, Li Yu is a talent cultivated by himself in the absence of talents, and he Dong Zhuo can also slowly cultivate talents who obey his orders, and when the time comes, the Guanzhong region will be properly governed, and it will not be too late to plot against Kanto!
He even used the Guanzhong area as a pilot to promote his policies and ideas. If it succeeds, then it can be further promoted to the whole world, and if it fails, then how to improve and how to improve it will not be so difficult, and there will be less loss.
Dong Zhuo became more and more like that, so he was no longer decadent, and even his face became much rudder.
"However, how can we hide from the courtiers and Ding Yuan and send His Majesty to Guanzhong? You know, in the event of a war between us and Ding Yuan in the process, it is very likely that Your Majesty will be hurt in the midst of the war! Dong Zhuo suddenly became worried.
"It's okay, you just need to put a fire in Luoyang!" Li Ru is so black that he can make a ruthless move directly.
The homes of those cultural relics courtiers are in Luoyang, and seeing that Luoyang is on fire, they have no reason not to put out the fire. Besides, this is also the imperial capital, no matter what, they can't really be caught in the fire here. In other words, a fire can drag both the forbidden army and Ding Yuan's army here in Luoyang, at least to ensure that Liu Xie can be transferred safely to the greatest extent.
"In addition, you can pretend that Your Majesty is sick and rest for a few days, and I will secretly send him out of the palace while it is dark, so as to delay it for a few days. The courtiers do not know the truth, and they will not dare to act without permission. Without them as an internal response, Ding Yuan didn't dare to make a casual move. Seeing Dong Zhuo nodding, Li Ru immediately told him the follow-up plan.
"Arrange it now!" Dong Zhuo felt that things could not be delayed.
On the same day, there was news from the palace that Liu Xie was in poor health, mainly because he was frightened by the previous turmoil, and the eight-year-old child caught a cold in the middle of the night due to the wind chill on the mountain.
Dong Zhuo even immediately sent someone to shout this matter towards Ding Yuan on the city wall: "Old man Ding Yuan, Your Majesty is in poor health, and now the imperial doctor is treating him." If you dare to attack now, disturb Your Majesty, and if something happens, then you are the biggest traitor! ”
When Ding Yuan heard this, he really didn't dare to act rashly, so he could only wait for Yang Biao to spread the news. It's a pity that Dong Zhuo not only controlled the palace and did not allow anyone to come out, but even strengthened patrols around the city wall, so that Yang Biao did not know what was going on in the palace, and there was no way to go out to inform Ding Yuan.
That night, Dong Zhuo immediately arranged for people to secretly transfer Liu Xie out, and at the same time, he sent people to pile up a lot of flammable materials on the streets of Luoyang City.
It was about four o'clock in the morning when a fire suddenly broke out and spread rapidly. In recent years, brick and concrete houses have been uncommon, but most of them are still wooden structures, and suddenly the fire is out of control!
"It's on fire, put out the fire!" Dong Zhuo put out the fire as soon as possible, and the forbidden army did not dare to slack off, and immediately joined the firefighting team, but Yuan Zhu was even more ruthless, leaving the fire alone, and directly opened the city gate and brought Ding Yuan in.
"What's going on!?" Ding Yuan couldn't help but get anxious when he saw this Yang falling into the sea of fire.
"I don't know, suddenly there was a fire! Dong Zhuo's people were busy fighting the fire, and we took the opportunity to open the city gate! Yuan Shao personally came to Ding Yuan and said.
"What about Your Majesty? Where is Your Majesty now, it is said that Your Majesty is ill, and the situation is okay? Ding Yuan asked with concern.
"The palace is now full of Dong Zhuo's people, if he refuses to let us in, no one will be able to enter, and naturally he doesn't know the news of His Majesty. But now that the whole Luoyang is in chaos, just leave the firefighting matter to us, and the important task of crusading against Dong Zhuo to rescue His Majesty will be Lord Laozhou! Yuan Shao arched his hand and shouted.
"Good!" Ding Yuan nodded, and immediately led the army to kill it.
In a short time, the army broke through Dong Zhuo's defense line, and Lu Bu took the lead, as long as he dared to block the enemy army in front of him, there was almost no enemy. Killed all the way, and before I knew it, there were already corpses all over the field.
The army entered the palace, but unfortunately they found that the people in the palace went to the empty building, and they couldn't find any trace of Liu Xie after looking for a long time. Lu Bu reported to Ding Yuan as soon as possible, and the latter was talking to Yang Biao, Yuan Shao and others about firefighting at the moment.
Hearing Lu Bu's report, everyone immediately realized: "Damn, you've been tricked!" ”
"Let's chase it, you stay and put out the fire!" Ding Yuan immediately mounted his horse and planned to pursue him.
"I'm here to help you!" Yuan Shao took his subordinates and chased after him, he was the only horse army in the Eighth School of Xiyuan, and the only team that could catch up with Ding Yuan, the key was that he was worried that Ding Yuan would learn from Dong Zhuo and coerce the Son of Heaven to order the princes.
Ding Yuan didn't think much about it, so he acquiesced to Yuan Shao following behind. The army pursued all the way, but Dong Zhuo's troops were also cavalry, and their endurance was estimated to be inferior to the wolf cavalry of Bingzhou, but the speed was first-class. With the distance from Luoyang to Hangu Pass, Dong Zhuobu reluctantly entered Hangu Pass one step ahead of two horses.
The army chased here, but it was not allowed to continue to advance, and it was immediately dumbfounded.
"Haha, my lord has a saying, Kanto, you can play casually!" Hua Xiong was on top of the city tower, looked at Ding Yuan and the others below, and laughed loudly.
"Dong Zhuo, is this going to be a thief? Aren't you afraid that the world's heroes will attack it? Ding Yuan pointed at Hua Xiong and roared.
"Hmph, Your Majesty is in our hands, who is the thief? You are trying to elevate Your Majesty and make him a puppet. The Governor has already made it clear to His Majesty, and from now on, he will announce to the world that you are all anti-thieves! Hua Xiong is not afraid, just as Li Ru said, the emperor is the most powerful existence, after all, his discovery represents the official.
Obviously, Dong Zhuo and the others ignored one point, that is, the most influential right to speak, in fact, is in the hands of the family. If they wished, it is unknown whether the edict could be delivered to the world.
Just like in history, Qiao Mao forged the letters of the Three Princes, and he was able to summon the Eighteenth Route Army to crusade against Dong Zhuo. At that time, even if Liu Xie was in the hands of Dong Zhuo, what was the use? After all, in these years, there is such an action as 'Qingjun side'!
No matter what, now Ding Yuan really can't help Dong Zhuo, he came in a hurry, and Hangu Pass is a dangerous pass in the world. If Qin was frustrated, he would be fine if he retreated to Hangu Pass, let alone Dong Zhuo? In desperation, he could only return to Luoyang and tell the courtiers about this matter, but in the end, Yang Biao proposed to elect Yuan Kui as the prime minister and directly entered the republican system.
This system directly has a clear voice in Jizhou, Yanzhou, Bingzhou and Yuzhou; Dong Zhuo returned to Guanzhong and continued to support Liu Xie's ascendancy to the throne is another force; Liu Wei held high the banner of the orthodox emperor, sent troops to Yizhou, and soon conquered Guanghan County and Shu County, and began to get involved in Ba County to become a force of its own; The SAR has always been on the fringes of the Han regime and is also a force.
The remaining state pastors such as Qingzhou, Xuzhou, Yangzhou, Jingzhou, Jiaozhou and Youzhou are bitter, and they don't know who to listen to! In any case, the general trend of the world has been preliminarily determined. (To be continued.) )
