In April of the sixth year of Zhongping (189), after the death of Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty, the general He Jin and others jointly supported the crown prince Liu Wei to ascend the throne as the young emperor. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE怂 ļ½‰ļ½Žļ½†ļ½

Emperor Liu Wei of the Han Dynasty was fourteen years old at the time, and his biological mother, Empress He, was honored as the empress dowager and listened to the government in the court. Empress Dowager He and her brother He Jin and Taifu Yuan Kui participated in the Shangshu affair and took charge of the government, forming a bureau of dictatorship of the foreign relative He family.

When Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty was alive, he wanted to succeed to the throne with his prince Liu Xie, and when he was dying, he entrusted the eunuch Jian Shuo with Liu Xie. When the emperor died, Jian Shuo wanted to kill He Jin and set up Liu Xie as the emperor, but He Jin was aware of it, but it was unsuccessful. He Jin was in charge of the government, Jian Shuo was not at ease, but conspired with the eunuchs to punish He Jin. Zhao Shengsu, the regular servant, was close to the He family and handed over the book of Jian Shuo to He Jin. So He Jin killed Jian Shuo and returned all the forbidden soldiers under his command, thus obtaining the command of the eighth lieutenant of the West Garden.

Empress Dowager Dong, the mother of Emperor Shi Ling, plotted to participate in political affairs and hated Empress Dowager He. Empress Dowager He asked He Jin to ask Empress Dowager Dong to move out of Beijing and return to China, and asked He Jin to take Empress Dowager Dong's brother hussar general Dong Chong to prison. Dong Zhong committed suicide, and the Empress Dowager Dong died of fear. The He clan got rid of dissidents and took charge of the government, and its power was very strong.

In August, Yuan Shaojin, a lieutenant of the Central Military Academy, saw He Jin but said that He Jin killed the eunuchs, He Jin first asked the Empress Dowager He to do his best to serve the following eunuchs, and replace them with Lang officials, and the Empress Dowager He did not obey and said: "The central official commands the forbidden province, which is the old system of the Han family. ā€

He Jin was originally a butcher to get up, born in poverty, because of his sister He Hou and was appointed by the emperor to get the new power, foreign relatives and upstarts, has always respected eunuchs, although the reputation is prestigious, but he does not dare to make a decision in case of trouble, and he does not follow when he sees it, but only comes out.

Seeing He coming in and out, Yuan Shaoying stepped forward and asked, "What's the big deal?" ā€

He Jin shook his head and said, "The Queen Mother doesn't obey, so what's the matter?" ā€

Seeing this situation, Yuan Shao was very anxious, and once again offered advice and said: "You can mobilize the fierce generals from all directions, lead the troops to the capital, and punish them all." This matter is urgent, and the Queen Mother cannot be disobeyed. ā€

When He Jin heard this, he felt that this plan was feasible, and said happily: "This plan is wonderful!" ā€

Chen Lin, the chief bookkeeper, reminded He Jindao: "As soon as the soldiers arrive, the strong will dominate, and this is to take the war backwards and give authority to others, not only can not achieve the goal, I am afraid it will also cause chaos!" ā€

He Jin smiled: "This coward's opinion is also! ā€

Cao Cao, the captain of the military academy next to him, applauded and laughed and said: "This matter is as easy as a palm, why bother talking about it." ā€

He Jin was a little displeased, "What is Meng De's opinion?" ā€

Cao Cao replied: "The calamities of eunuchs have existed in ancient and modern times, but the lord of the world inappropriately gave them power and favor, so that it is so. If you want to punish the sin, you should get rid of the evil, but it is enough to hand it over to a jailer, so why call in foreign soldiers one after another? If you want to kill them all, things will inevitably leak, and I will definitely lose. ā€

He Jin said angrily: "Didn't Meng Demo have selfish intentions? ā€

Cao Cao said: "Those who disturb the world must enter also." With that, he got up and walked out.

He Jin then ordered to summon Dong Zhuo, the governor of the state, to lead the army to Beijing, and sent his subordinates Wang Kuang and Bao Xin, the cavalry captain, back to their hometown to recruit troops.

For a while, the Quartet rose up, and the Beijing division was shaken, and the Empress Dowager He felt that the situation was serious. She hurriedly sent the eunuchs such as Zhongchang and Xiaohuangmen home. The eunuchs panicked, panicked like lost dogs, and went together to ask for forgiveness from He Jin. Yuan Shao repeatedly persuaded He Jin to take this opportunity to kill them, but He Jin still let them go. Yuan Shao was very unwilling, and wrote a letter to inform the state and county, falsely claiming that it was He Jin's intention to order the arrest of the eunuch's relatives and imprisonment.

After Dong Zhuo received the holy decree, he was overjoyed, immediately gathered people and horses, led the army into Beijing for several days, and according to He Jin's meaning, wrote to the young emperor, asking for "chasing the evil on the side of the king" and "collecting the army to clear the traitorous and filthy".

However, Dong Zhuo never expected that before he could reach Luoyang, He Jin was killed by Zhang Rang and others in the battle. At this time, Yuan Shu, the general of Huben Zhonglang, was also in command of the troops in Luoyang, and after hearing the news that He Jin was killed, he set fire to Nangong and chased Zhang Rang and others. Zhang Rang and Duan Si, the servant of Zhongchang, hurriedly abducted the young emperor Liu Wei and Liu Xie, the king of Chen Liu, and fled to Xiaopingjin, the crossing of the Yellow River, in the middle of the night.

Dong Zhuo, who was marching, saw a sea of fire in the capital from afar, knew that the situation had changed, and heard that the young emperor was in Beimang, and Dong Zhuo hurriedly led his troops to go. The young emperor was so frightened by the swarming army that he panicked and burst into tears. Dong Zhuo was majestic, swaggered forward to see the young emperor, and asked him about the incident. The young emperor stammered and spoke incoherently, but Liu Xie, the king of Chen Liu, who was standing on the side, took the initiative to step forward and tell Dong Zhuo about the whole incident, and the narrative was unambiguous and clear.

At that time, Liu Xie was only nine years old, a full five years younger than the young emperor. Dong Zhuo was very happy, thinking that Liu Xie was much stronger than Liu Wei, and because he was personally raised by the Empress Dowager Dong, he had the initial idea of deposing Liu Wei and supporting Liu Xie.

After Dong Zhuo entered Beijing, he took all the troops under the command of He Jin and his younger brother He Miao, the general of the chariot cavalry, as his own, and induced the original troops of Jin Wu Ding to attach Lu Bu to Ding Yuan, and the army was very strong. So, Dong Zhuo forced Han Tingce to dismiss Sikong Liu Hong and made himself Sikong. In order to further monopolize the central power, Dong Zhuo decided to convene hundreds of civil and military officials to discuss the abolition of the young emperor and the establishment of a new emperor.

Dong Zhuo said unscrupulously: "The young emperor is ignorant and cowardly, he can't worship the temple, and he is not qualified to serve as the monarch of the world. For the sake of the country and the Han dynasty, I want to follow the story of Yi Yin Fang Taijia and Huo Guang abolishing Changyi, abolishing the young emperor, and re-establishing Liu Xie, the king of Chenliu, as the son of heaven! ā€

Most of the officials present were intimidated by Dong Zhuo's obscenity, and dared not speak out against his arbitrary and arbitrary behavior. Only Shangshu Lu Zhi raised objections in person, believing that the young emperor was only young, and his behavior and character could not be compared with Taijia and the king of Changyi at all. Dong Zhuo was furious, he didn't expect Lu Zhi to be so disrespectful and dare to oppose him in public, so he immediately ordered the soldiers to push him out and behead him, but fortunately, Cai Yong tried his best to dissuade him, and Lu Zhi was saved from death.

After that, Dong Zhuo abolished the young emperor and demoted him to the king of Hongnong; In addition, Liu Xie, the king of Chen Liu, was appointed as Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty. On the day of the abolition, all the ministers were sad and frightened, but there was no one who dared to speak. Dong Zhuo then killed Empress Dowager He.

After the establishment of Emperor Xian, Dong Zhuo promoted himself to Tai Lieutenant and became one of the three dukes, in charge of the national military and former general affairs, and later proclaimed himself a county marquis, worshiped the prime minister, and jumped to the head of the three dukes, holding the power of prime minister. Although Dong Zhuo is known as the minister of state who is "under one person and above ten thousand", he actually far surpasses the emperor and enjoys privileges such as "praising and worshipping the nameless, entering the dynasty and not trending, and going to the palace with a sword".

Dong Zhuo took advantage of the privileges in his hands to re-promote and appoint a large number of party members, such as Zhou Bismu, the secretary of the ministry, Wu Qiong, the secretary Zheng Gongye, the chief of the history He Hao, and the Sikong Wu officer. Not only that, as long as they are party members related to the above personnel, Dong Zhuo will promote them as secretaries, and for a while, "the people who are staggered are more prominent". Cai Yong, a great writer of the dynasty, was also co-opted and recruited by Dong Zhuo.

In addition to arranging his own forces in various ministries of the central government, Dong Zhuo also planted local minions by appointing Taishou and assassinating history. In this way, Dong Zhuo has basically controlled the main political forces at the central and local levels by placing eyes and ears at various levels, and as long as officials who are dissatisfied with him make the slightest move, he will ruthlessly and completely eradicate them, killing chickens and monkeys, and deterring the government and the public.

At this time, Liu Yu happened to appease Zhang Ju, the leader of the Wuxian bandits, and sent Zhang Liao to lead the army and Zhang Ju to pacify the bandits in Wenxian County.

In the sixth year of Zhongping, September 16, Liu Yu returned to Xiangping City, the place of Liaodong Governance, at this time the pacification of the bandits lasted more than 40 days, and the bandits of Wangping, Wuxi, Wenxian County, three counties of Wenxian County.

For a time, Liu Yu's great reputation shocked Liaodong, and small groups of bandits who had not been pacified were shocked one after another.

At this time, although Liu Yu pacified the rebellion of the bandits, he did not dare to relax in the slightest, because Liu Yu knew that Dong Zhuo had already entered Beijing at this time, and ordered the Han Emperor to set up, and the real chaos at the end of the Han Dynasty was about to open the real curtain, and with his current strength, it was still too far away.

Therefore, Liu Yu must stabilize Liaodong as soon as possible and develop it in the only time.
