Chapter 016: Wang Yun's Story (Part II)
[Forbearance for three years, finally get rid of the demon king]
Dong Zhuo led his troops into Luoyang to meet the young emperor, but unfortunately he was not a hero to save the world, but a demon king in troubled times. In order to show his authority, he rudely abolished the young emperor, set up the younger Chen Liuwang Liu Xie as the emperor, and then poisoned the young emperor and the Empress Dowager He, and gathered the army to arbitrarily control the government.
Wang Yun, who had already suffered the loss of the eunuch Zhang Rang, had become more mature and forbearant at this time, and he had already learned how to compromise at this time. Wang Yun blindly resigned himself on the surface, and even obeyed Dong Zhuo, when Dong Zhuo was in Luoyang and Chang'an, he regarded Wang Yun as his cronies and put his heart into his heart, Wang Yun also flattered, and the result was that Dong Zhuo handed over most of the affairs in the court to Wang Yun to deal with, and he never doubted it.
When he was in Luoyang, Wang Yun and Sili Captain Huang Wan, Shangshu Zheng Gongye and others discussed how to kill Dong Zhuo, they planned to control and the army to control a certain local power, so Yang Zhan, the captain of Baoju Qiang, exercised the power of General Zuo and recommended Sun Rui, the devotee of Jin Wushi, to serve as the Taishou of Nanyang, preparing to join Yuan Shu to jointly crusade against Dong Zhuo. It's a pity that Shi Sun Rui was already suspected by Dong Zhuo at that time, and after Wang Yun knew about it, he immediately canceled the original plan, and instead let Shi Sun Rui stay in Luoyang, and let him give up his military power and promote Shi Sun Rui to be a servant. Wang Yun was so caring, Dong Zhuo trusted him even more.
After Dong Zhuo moved the capital to Chang'an, he named Wang Yun as the Marquis of Wen, with 5,000 households. Wang Yun was ready to refuse, but then he was persuaded to take important matters first, so Wang Yun obeyed Dong Zhuo's wishes, and his influence in the court became bigger and bigger with Dong Zhuo's support.
In the spring of the third year of Chuping (192), the sky changed, and it rained for more than two months. Wang Yun and Shi Sun Rui, Yang Zan and others all agreed that this was a sign from heaven, so they were ready to get rid of Dong Zhuo. Soon Wang Yun successfully won over Lu Bu, and it happened that the Son of Heaven was recovering from a serious illness, so he summoned hundreds of officials to gather in Weiyang Palace to wish the Son of Heaven a healthy body. Now the time to get rid of Dong Zhuo has come, they did not give up the opportunity, in the palace Lu Bu finally succeeded in killing Dong Zhuo, Wang Yun endured for three years, and finally succeeded in one day.
[Honest and pedantic, died in Chang'an]
It's a pity that after Wang Yun succeeded, he thought that he had a great merit, so he began to be proud of his achievements, and his sense of justice was already relatively strong, and there was no sand in his eyes, which led to his final fatal mistake in dealing with Dong Zhuo's old Xiliang Army.
Wang Yun thought that the country would become like this, and that Dong Zhuo and his Xiliang army had made unforgivable mistakes, and he believed in the Kwantung soldiers more than that. So he was ready to deprive the generals of the Western Liang Army of their rights, and even disband the entire Western Liang Army and let the Kwantung troops take care of them.
Someone once suggested to Wang Yun: "The Liangzhou soldiers have always been afraid of Yuan Shao and the Kwantung soldiers, but now if the Kwantung soldiers are sent to disband them, everyone in the Liangzhou soldiers will be worried about their lives, and in this way, it is easy to cause mutiny and chaos." It is better to appoint Huangfu Song as a general, to serve as the commander of the Liangzhou soldiers, and let him stay there for a long time in order to appease the army. But Wang Yun disagreed, because he thought that this would not be able to meet the Kwantung soldiers. As a result, after the people of Liangzhou heard the news that Wang Yun wanted to disband the Liangzhou soldiers, they spread rumors everywhere that Wang Yun was going to kill all the Liangzhou people.
After Dong Zhuo's death, Wang Yun only agreed to the surrender of a few Zhonglang generals under his command, and Wang Yun did not pay attention to the captains who led the troops below Zhonglang General, and did not send anyone to recruit them afterwards. As a result, Li Dao and Guo Yan were desperate, so they simply raised troops to attack Chang'an in the name of revenge for Dong Taishi, and along the way, those Xiliang soldiers who were already uneven came to vote, and the team of Li Dao and Guo Yan continued to grow, and when they arrived in Chang'an, the army had more than 100,000 people. Lü Bu defended Chang'an City, but unfortunately he was outnumbered, and Chang'an was finally captured, and Lü Bu was ready to pull Wang Yun with him when he fled, but was rejected by Wang Yun. Wang Yun thought that as the prime minister, he had to stay by Emperor Han Xian's side, and in the end he was executed by the Xiliang army, and Emperor Han Xian also fell into the hands of the Xiliang army again.
【Wang Yun in History】
Wang Yun wronged himself for three years to finally get rid of Dong Zhuo, but unfortunately because of a thought, he lost his life only a month later, burying almost the last hope of the Han Dynasty. In his life, he fought with eunuchs, treacherous and evil, and powerful ministers, not afraid of power, not afraid of sacrifice, honest and brave face life, everything he did was for the Han Dynasty, all for those ordinary people, from this point of view it can be said that he died without regrets! But on the other hand, Wang Yun was too upright, even to the point of pedantic, and Cai Yong was imprisoned just because Dong Zhuo's kindness sighed for him, and finally died in prison. Because of Dong Zhuo, he was too harsh on the Xiliang army, which eventually led to those Xiliang captains being unable to return and resist to the end. When Wang Yun refused to run away with Lu Bu and asked Emperor Han Xian to resign and die for his life, I think he still had regrets in his heart———— if only I knew how to compromise again.
Wang Yun has learned through experience that he needs to be forbearant in front of the strong, even if he is a great villain with unforgivable crimes; But in the end, he still didn't understand that even a weak and wicked person could not take away all the hopes of others.
