Chapter 173: Situ Wang Yun
Dong Zhuo was sitting precariously, his demeanor was pleasant, his face was full of red light, his face was smiling, his eyes emitted a cold light, this light suddenly glanced at the ministers under the steps, Dong Zhuo was standing beside him, polite and polite, with a white face and eyes like a meteor, and the whole person looked very treacherous, this person was Dong Zhuo's son-in-law Li Ruye, this Li Ru had just finished reading the edict, and the book said: The prime minister of the Han Dynasty led the Xixiang Hou Dong, inherited the fortune of heaven and the people, and supported the society, turned the tide, and completely defeated the 18th Route rebels against the party in the first battle of Tiger Prison Pass, Strive to ensure that Luoyang is not lost, to ensure that the Son of Heaven is safe and sound, to protect the people from being burned, and to make great contributions, comparable to Yao Shun in the world, although Zhou Gonglu is not in time, sincere to this, for the will of heaven, under the people's hearts, specially crowned as the king of Mei, plus nine tin, the rite of the Son of Heaven!
This edict was issued immediately, the civil and military ministers of the Manchu Dynasty were all shocked when they heard it, Guan Yu ranked second among the military generals and immediately heard this, he was expressionless, sat there, and said nothing, this scene may come sooner or later, but what he never expected was that Dong Zhuo would move so quickly, but fortunately, he had already acted before, so at this time, his heart was very calm, but the other ministers in the court couldn't sit still, Dong Zhuo's plate this time was too big, and he actually wanted to establish himself as the king? Is this simply the pinnacle?
Dong Zhuo's commotion this time can be said to be too big, his perverse behavior soon attracted the opposition of the court ministers, the first one to come out was the Taifu Yuan Kui, this Yuan Kui relied on his own four generations and three dukes' illustrious family, as well as protΓ©gΓ©s and former officials all over the world, thinking that he was powerful, and immediately opposed it, Yuan Kui said: "Taishi has the merit of Kuang Fu Sheji, but after all, how can a courtier establish himself as a king?" Isn't this tantamount to bullying the king? Is Wang Mang alive? How can this convince the people of the world? β
Yuan Kui's words were fierce, and even if the number fell to Dong Zhuo. Dong Zhuo was furious when he heard this: "Yuan Shao, the old thief and nephew of Yuan Kui, led the rebels to attack Luoyang a few times ago, and such a great traitor was defeated by me. As his uncle, you are not to blame for his duties. I didn't pursue you, but you took a bite back, and dared to insult me so rudely, it was really intolerable, and someone pulled out and cut it! β
After Dong Zhuo finished speaking, a knife and axe had already come up and pulled Yuan Kui out of the stairs, and Yuan Kui couldn't help but scold: "Dong thief, I know that sooner or later there will be this day, you will not die well if you frame Zhongliang, the old man will not be blind to death, and the chaotic ministers and thieves are bold enough to kill the ministers of the court in vain." Heaven does not tolerate it, people and gods punish together, and the old man will not let you go if he is a ghost! Yuan Kui was pulled out of the gang while scolding.
After a while, a knife and axe hand came up to present Yuan Kui's head, and a bloody head was presented in front of everyone, and all the ministers were terrified when they saw this, Dong Zhuo said proudly when he saw this: "See, this is the end of opposition!" Do you have any objections to my coronation? β
Situ Wang Yun came out and said: "This matter is not trivial! I also hope that the Taishi will think twice before acting, and he will not take a wrong step and cause the world's heroes to commit Luoyang again! Now this good situation is not easy to come by! I hope the master will cherish it! β
Wang Yun was a euphemistic refusal of Dong Zhuo's excuse to claim the king, and his words were more euphemistic, and the wording was not so passionate. But there is rigidity in softness, and the purpose is to deny Dong Zhuo's proposition, after Wang Yun finished speaking, Taiwei Yang Biao, uncle Dong Cheng, Taifu Ma Riyan and others, Youzhong Lang General, Xixiang Hou Zhujun and others came out to echo Wang Yun. They all expressed their support for Wang Yun's statement, and when the big Sima Dong Wen saw this, he immediately pulled out his sword: "Those who follow me prosper, and those who oppose me die!" β
The whole scene suddenly came to an impasse. Dong Wen is high and commanding. All the ministers under the stairs gathered and stood at the foot of the stairs unmoved, Li Ru saw this and said: "Let's wait for the edict of the Son of Heaven." We don't have to be here because of this fuss, the Son of Heaven is free to arrange, and everything is subject to His Majesty's judgment! β
After Li Ru finished speaking, Dong Zhuo was resentful and resolutely left to sit at the table, Dong Wen also collected his sword, turned around and walked down the steps, the ministers looked at each other and were stunned there, Guan Yu witnessed this scene, did not speak, and immediately turned around and left, Wang Yun looked at Guan Yu's departing back and gradually drifted away
This Wang Yun was born in a famous family in Shanxi, and the Wang family has held important official positions in the state and county for generations, and has a great influence and prestige in the local area. Wang Yun is talented, intelligent, and intelligent, and is deeply loved and appreciated by his seniors. Under their influence and influence, Wang Yun was extraordinarily energetic since he was a child, and he was determined to not only inherit and carry forward the traditions of his father's generation when he grew up, but also worry about the country and benefit the society of the Eastern Han Dynasty. In order to achieve this ambition and goal, Wang Yun always pays attention to the cultivation of his own quality. Although he was born into a wealthy family, he was not obsessed with luxurious life and comfortable enjoyment, but made full use of the privileged environment of his family to read poetry and books.
When he was a teenager, Wang Yun had become a talented man who was full of wealth and wealth, and scholars from near and far were impressed by him. In addition to studying articles and reading classics, Wang Yun also insisted on practicing martial arts to strengthen his body. He admired the majesty and bearing of Wei Qing and Huo Quai, and also admired their spirit of defending the country to the death. After less than a few years of earnest and unremitting martial arts training, Wang Yun became an all-rounder who was proficient in Wen Taowu and Wu Strategy.
Because he was born into an upper-class scholar family, in addition to practicing literature and martial arts on weekdays, Wang Yun also often followed his fathers in and out of the officialdom and made friends with many famous people. Moreover, Wang Yun is more willing to contact with the lower class people, because in this way, he can get closer to life, experience life, and accumulate rich experience. Suddenly, the young Wang Yun not only stood out among his peers, but also became famous in Shanxi.
Once, Guo Linzong, a famous man in the same county, visited Wang Yun's father for something, and when his father went out, Wang Yun entertained the guests as the host. Subsequently, he read the literature and discussed martial arts with the guests, discussed and discussed, and his mouth was like a river, and he talked endlessly, which was not only clear and clear, but also insightful. In the process of short contact with Wang Yun, Guo Linzong saw that he behaved modestly and talked extraordinarily, and couldn't help but sigh deeply, and was surprised that he had such extraordinary knowledge and cultivation at such a young age, and praised Wang Yun on the spot and said: "Wang Xianggong can be described as a thousand miles in a day, a genius in the world!" In the future, he will definitely become the humerus of the Son of Heaven and the pillar of the country! After that, Guo Linzong also took the initiative to make friends with Wang Yun and became friends. Since then, the scholars of Bingzhou have been accustomed to calling Wang Yun "a thousand miles a day, Wang Zuozhicai".
At the age of 19, Wang Yun was promoted to the rank of county official. Soon after taking office, he encountered an extremely complicated and thorny matter: there was a small yellow gate named Zhao Jin in Jinyang, Shanxi, relying on his master to be a powerful eunuch in the imperial court, so he ran rampant in the local area and did whatever he wanted. The people were afraid of Zhao Jin's obscenity, and dared to be angry but did not dare to speak. When he learned of this situation, he angrily said to his subordinates: "The prince broke the law, and he was guilty of the same crime as the common people. He immediately ordered the arrest of Zhao Jin, and immediately released him to Dongshi and beheaded him to comfort the people.
The people of Jinyang saw that the scourge they hated had been eliminated, and they applauded one by one, and they also went to Wang Yun's official office one after another, thanking Wang Yun and praising him as a good parent official who is the master of the people and is not afraid of rape. Wang Yun withstood the test of the world for the first time, and won the praise and support of everyone, and he was sincerely happy, and strengthened his confidence in being an impartial official.
At the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, due to the corruption of the imperial court, the phenomenon of the central and local governments buying officials and lords was very serious. In particular, the power-for-money trading of local bureaucrats is extremely common. There is a scoundrel named Lu Fo among the fellow villagers in the same county as Wang Yun, who has been pampered since he was a child, has neither knowledge nor virtue, and he relies on the money in his family to bribe Taishou Wang Qiu, asking Wang Qiu to give him an official position. Wang Qiu, who was obsessed with money, was a faint official who saw money, and after accepting a bribe from Lu Buddha, he gave him a position as a supplement. Wang Yun was very resentful of this dirty deal, exposed Lu Fo's ugly deeds in public, and argued with Wang Qiu, accusing him of corruption and favoritism.
Wang Qiu was annoyed and angry, and used the power in his hand to immediately arrest Wang Yun and put him in prison, ready to kill him at any time. Deng Sheng had heard of Wang Yun's deeds for a long time and admired his intelligence and character. When he learned that Wang Qiu was going to kill Wang Yun, he immediately rode a fast horse and went to the Taishou Yamen, bailed Wang Yun, and asked him to be a driver in his own house. Wang Yun was very grateful to Deng Sheng for saving his life, and at the same time was moved by Deng Sheng's righteous behavior, so he served Deng Sheng wholeheartedly, worked diligently, and worked hard, and Deng Sheng was deeply satisfied. Under Deng Sheng's promotion and publicity, Wang Yun's reputation became bigger and bigger, laying the foundation for him to enter the imperial court as an official in the future.
Wang Yun not only won the appreciation and admiration of the state and county officials and the local people, but also attracted the attention of the imperial court. In view of his talent and performance, Wang Yun was soon recruited by the three princes of the imperial court at the same time, and Situ Gaodi was recruited as the imperial historian. The move from a local prefecture to the central court was a major turning point in Wang Yun's life path, and it also provided a broad political stage for him to realize his political ambition of serving the country loyally.
In 184 A.D. (the first year of Zhongping), that is, not long after Wang Yunzheng served the imperial history, a huge peasant uprising of the Yellow Turban Army broke out all over the country. In order to quickly suppress the uprising, the Eastern Han government specially selected Wang Yun as the assassin of Yuzhou, and recruited Shang Shuang, Kong Rong and other famous people to serve as Wang Yun's engagement, and led a heavy army to defeat the Yellow Turban Army. Wang Yun led his troops to fight for the first time, which fully demonstrated his extraordinary literary and martial arts strategy. In advance, Wang Yun extensively solicited the opinions of ordinary officers and soldiers and devised a thorough combat plan. During the battle, Wang Yun personally put on the battle, showed his skills, and completely defeated the Yellow Turban Army in the area of Yuzhou. After that, Wang Yun and Huang Fu Song, the general of the left middle lang, and Zhu Jun, the general of the right middle lang, jointly surrendered hundreds of thousands of Yellow Turban rebels. In the process of surrendering, the careful Wang Yun searched the peasant army for a letter written by a guest who was always serving Zhang Rang, which involved some content related to the Yellow Turban Army. Zhang Rang was the great eunuch in power in the current dynasty, with great power and great favor by the emperor. (To be continued.) )
