Chapter 26 Discussion of Directors (I)
"Taiwei, it's not good, Cao Cao, that traitor, actually corrected the emperor's edict and published the edict, and the officials of the world came to crusade against the Taiwei! So far, more than a dozen senior officials have responded. "Someone came to Dong's house immediately, and there was bad news.
And this news suddenly shocked countless people in the Dong family. Because they didn't expect Cao Cao to be so bold and take the initiative to openly crusade against Dong Zhuo, this is really surprising. And there are more than a dozen high-ranking officials in the world who respond, which makes them feel very bad. Because these more than ten princes are all princes of one side, they all own one side of the territory, and they have soldiers, land, people and money in their hands, as if they are the overlords of one side. And this era has to be said to be the system of the Eastern Han Dynasty, because the local Taishou are also able to manage the army on the horse and the people on the horse, they are like a prince. Although they usually don't show anything, after all, the authority of the central government still exists. But once the time of turmoil comes, they can take advantage of the opportunity to stand on their own.
During the Eastern Han Dynasty, the official position of state pastor was specially established, which created a group of large princes who could control the military and political affairs of one side, manage the territory of many counties, and have strong power. So now these local princes are cavalry to attack Dong Zhuo, which makes everyone feel very flustered.
"Is this really unreasonable, these local princes, do they want to rebel? Without the tiger talisman of the imperial court, they actually dared to transfer troops without authorization, what bastards! Dong Zhuo said angrily.
And Dong Zhuo was really angry, because these princes actually rose up against him together, which greatly affected his authority. More than a dozen people fought against Dong Zhuo together, and this one was against Dong Zhuo together. As for what will happen next, how will Dong Zhuo deal with it? At that time, I am afraid that I was really going to face a very dangerous situation, and Dong Zhuo was really in danger at that time.
And in the imperial court, Yang Biao and Huang Wan heard the news and almost celebrated with their crowns, because they had finally waited for this day. Now that there are more than ten princes in the world crusading against Dong Zhuo, I am afraid that it is easy to launch an army of more than 100,000 people, and then attack Luoyang together. In this way, when these more than ten princes entered Luoyang together, Dong Zhuo could be driven away or even killed, so that the Han court actually returned to their hands. At that time, weren't they, the ministers of the central government, able to continue to control the imperial court and then preside over the overall situation? And they didn't expect that the world had reached the edge of chaos, and they still dreamed of regaining power!
"Now, more than ten princes in the eastern part of the country have risen up to rebel together, what can you do to deal with it?" Dong Zhuo asked.
And Dong Liang first came out and said: "Uncle, the rebellion of more than ten princes in the eastern part of the country is really a traitor of my Han Dynasty. My nephew is willing to sweep away the rebels for my uncle, and then give my big man a good day! And they actually dare to slander you, uncle, as a traitor, I think they are the real traitors, and they are so brazen. They actually colluded to rebel, and then slandered your uncle, you are a rebel, this is really unreasonable. Therefore, this group of Kwantung princes are all rebellious, and they raise troops without a military talisman to make a rebellion, what is this not rebellion? Please give the order of my uncle, we will go and defeat the Kwantung princes, and then restore the peace of my Han. ”
"Taiwei, I think it's better to listen to the meaning of the Kwantung princes, after all, the Kwantung princes use the excuse that you are a traitor. And to quell this rebellion, the best way is to ask Lord Taiwei to hand over your authority, and then let the civil and military officials of the imperial court jointly assist the government. In this way, the Kwantung princes will have no reason to rebel, and they will naturally surrender to the national prestige of our Han again, and the world will still be a bright and prosperous country at that time! Huang Wan said.
Huang Wan is now in good spirits on happy occasions, and now that the Kwantung princes have raised troops, he thinks he has enough backing. After all, all the princes raised troops, and they were all on the grounds of crusading against Dong Zhuo, and now that he finally has someone who can open fire, can Dong Zhuo not be afraid? And with someone who can say goodbye to Dong Zhuo, he, the current court, really has to have enough courage to face Dong Zhuo. And Dong Zhuo's arrogance he has long been unaccustomed to, and now that someone is against him, Huang Wan, who made him tremble under Dong Zhuo's pressure, has confidence that he can defeat Dong Zhuo.
And now he actually took the initiative to use the deterrent power of the Kwantung princes, and then asked Dong Zhuo to hand over the rights, and then give them the right to control the imperial court. At that time, it was a satisfactory result, so Huang Wan naturally hoped that he could do this, so that he could take the opportunity to obtain enough rights. As for him, he took it for granted, he really thought that the Kwantung princes were so kind to rise up to crusade against Dong Zhuo, but in fact, none of the Kwantung princes had their own little abacus, he wanted to use the pressure of the Kwantung princes to force Dong Zhuo to hand over power, and once he handed over power, then I am afraid that Dong Zhuo and the people of the Dong family would be unlucky.
"Please hand over the authority of Taiwei Dong and let the ministers of the court assist the emperor together!" A lot of people said it together.
Now that the Kwantung princes have raised an army to fight against Dong Zhuo, they have finally emboldened all the ministers of the imperial court, so they all dare to take the initiative to oppose Dong Zhuo, hoping to force Dong Zhuo to hand over power, and then let them be able to hold power. And they seemed to feel that victory was in sight, after all, the more than ten princes of the Kwantung region had begun to concentrate their forces and prepare to crusade against Dong Zhuo. Then Dong Zhuo should feel a lot of pressure now. If they can follow this opportunity to force Dong Zhuo to hand over power, won't they be able to gain power?
And Dong Zhuo's face was dark, he didn't expect that the rise of the Kwantung princes would give these ministers within the court such great confidence, so that they all had a list to turn over and force Dong Zhuo. But it is impossible to ask Dong Zhuo to hand over power, after all, if Dong Zhuo hands over power, then I am afraid that in the end, Dong Zhuo and Dong Zhuo's family will have to face the counterattack of those guys. And in many cases, once in power, it cannot be handed over, and once it is handed over, I am afraid that the final result will be to be killed or even exterminated. Therefore, Dong Zhuo would rather die than hand over power, this is also Dong Zhuo's current thoughts.
"Uncle, no! Have you all forgotten the story of Chao Wrong during the Jingdi period? Dong Liang shouted.
"What? Wrong? ”
When Dong Liang put forward the word Chao Mistake, this immediately made many people understand what Dong Liang meant. The so-called Chao Cuo, that is, a minister who proposed to cut the feudal domain during the period of Emperor Jing of the Western Han Dynasty, advocated reducing the land of the feudal king, and then could maintain centralized power. However, this later led to the rebellion of the Seven Kingdoms, and all the princes rebelled under the pretext of the Qing monarch's side. As for the so-called "traitorous ministers" they played, it means that Chao is wrong. And there was a stupid bird named Yuan Ang in the imperial court who really thought that the princes of the Seven Kingdoms Rebellion were purely for the Qing monarch's side, so Emperor Jing of the Han Dynasty killed Chao Cuo, and then the princes had no excuse to rebel.
As a result, Chao Cuo, a loyal minister who thought about the emperor and the court, was killed by the whole family. But after he died, those princes not only rebelled, but attacked further, which was tantamount to killing a loyal minister in vain, and in the end it was useless.
Dong Liang put forward this erroneous statement, that is to say, the rebellion of the Ming Guandong princes was not for Dong Zhuo, but a rebellion with other purposes, forcing Dong Zhuo to hand over power, which is simply impossible. However, Dong Liang's statement gave Dong Zhuo a reason to continue to hold power and continue to be able to refuse to hand over power.
"Yes, what is the difference between the Kwantung princes and the Seven Kingdoms Rebellion back then? They are all rebelling! And this Taiwei can be said to do his best for the court, but he has done his best for the court! And those Kwantung princes actually rebelled on this ground, which is really unreasonable. And Ben Taiwei also wants to tell everyone that this Taiwei is not a mistake, and the current emperor is also very wise and will not do anything to kill good people in vain. Therefore, whether or not Hontaiwei wants to take power, the Kwantung princes will definitely rebel, because they have been plotting for a long time. Therefore, this Taiwei will not hand over the right to assist the government, otherwise it will really make the Kwantung princes think that our court is weak, and then it will make them even more unscrupulous. Dong Zhuo said.
And everyone felt disgusting, thinking that you Dong Zhuo actually compared yourself to a mistake, which of course made everyone feel disgusting. Chao Cuo is a person who doesn't even want a full life for the sake of the court, and he is a rare loyal minister in the ages! But can Dong Zhuo compare with him? Dong Zhuo is also a powerful minister, and he is also a very bold person, who dares to stay on the dragon bed at night and be rude to the concubine, which makes them feel very angry. Isn't this an insult to the word loyalty?
But now that everyone is here, they dare not speak out, so they can only choose to be silent. And many people are also thinking in their hearts, when will the Kwantung princes be able to come in, so that they can continue to be in power after cleaning up Dong Zhuo, and they don't have to surrender to Dong Zhuo, a brutal guy. Under Dong Zhuo's rule, life was too difficult, so they all wanted the Kwantung princes to come over quickly. And they didn't know at all that the Kwantung princes were just careerists at all, and they didn't have much idea of supporting the Han family at all. So now they are all daydreaming, but Dong Liang naturally did not debunk this qiē idea, after all, Dong Liang also wanted them to see the true face of the Kwantung princes.
