Chapter 34 The Third Task Dong Zhuo of the Three Kingdoms 2
It is not advisable to kill these people, now the situation in the world is turbulent, 100,000 Baibo troops are in Hedong, less than 500 miles away from Luoyang, the reason why Dong Zhuo moved the capital to Luoyang in history is very important, is because he brainlessly abolished the young emperor, offended the people of the world, and gave the Kwantung princes an excuse to oppose Dong. There are opposition forces in the court, and the allied forces of the princes in the east and the Baibo army in the vicinity.
Dong Zhuocai came up with the idea of moving west to Chang'an.
The reasons for Dong Zhuoli's thoughts and Liu Xie's ideas are very complicated. Liu Bian's frivolity is just an excuse, and even the idea of being the same clan as the Empress Dowager Dong is an excuse. The most important reason is that Liu Bian is He Jin's nephew, and he is the emperor set up by Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu. has no connection with Dong Zhuo. In history, Dong Zhuo did not save Liu Bian for the first time, and the gold content of the escort is actually very watery.
One of the most important reasons is that Liu Xian is 14 years old and Liu Xie is only 9 years old. Liu Bian is married and will soon be in power, and it will be very troublesome and difficult to control in the future.
The consequence of not saving the emperor in time was that the backbone of the eunuchs, Zhang Rang and Duan Gui, were forced to commit suicide by throwing themselves into the river. As the most important eunuch force in the late Eastern Han Dynasty, he withdrew from the stage, and his relatives, the general He Jin, and the general of the chariot and cavalry, He Miao, were also clearly removed. Without the checks and balances of eunuchs and relatives, the emperor has completely become a plaything.
The important reason for Dong Zhuo's establishment of Liu Xie is that he was raised by the Empress Dowager Dong, Dong Zhuo is the same clan as the Empress Dowager Dong, and Dong Cheng, the nephew of the Empress Dowager Dong, is under his command, and he took the initiative to join the sect, so he beat around the bush. Dong Cheng's daughter will marry Liu Xie in the future, and Dong Zhuo will be able to have the name of a relative. Justifiably inherited the great general Da Sima, the important authority of this relative.
In addition to the above-mentioned political considerations, the hatred between the He family and the Dong family is the root cause. Empress Dowager Dong's nephew, the hussar general Dong Chong, and the general He Jin fought for power, and the struggle was already white-hot. When Emperor Ling died, Empress Dowager Dong lost her court power after failing to support Liu Xie as emperor.
After the situation stabilized, He Jin, He Miao conspired with Empress Dowager He to kill Dong Chong, and Empress Dowager Dong died of fear. There is no doubt that the death of the Empress Dowager Dong was the hand of the Empress Dowager He.
Therefore, Dong Zhuo, who regarded himself as the Empress Dowager Dong's clan, of course wanted to kill the Empress Dowager He and avenge the Empress Dowager Dong. Of course, Empress Dowager He's son, Liu Bian, could no longer be emperor.
In fact, in Dong Zhuo's heart, he disagreed with Empress Dowager Dong, an old lady from the countryside. But he needs a name. A name for revenge.
After He Jin's death, Dong Min and He Jin's general Wu Kuang killed He Jin's half-brother He Miao. directly lifted all the dependence of the Empress Dowager He.
In history, Dong Zhuo mastered all the military power in Luoyang within three or five days after entering Beijing, and then began to take revenge, deposing the Empress Dowager He and Liu Bian, and then killing them separately, the means were quite rough and brainless.
The current Lu Renbing, of course, is not as brainless as Dong Zhuo. I have the power in my hands, so why bother so much. Dong Zhuo in history was eager to be recognized by the world, and after entering Luoyang, he was brainless and crowded out Sikong Liu Hong. Let's not say that Liu Hongde is highly respected, just because he is from the Liu clan, it is worth wooing, there are so many official positions in the imperial court, why bother to grab a nominal commonplace, and offend an important force in vain.
Although the prestige of the Liu clan in the court is not obvious, it must not be ignored. The three state pastors of Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty are both Liu's, Youzhou Mu Liu Yu, Yizhou Mu Liu Yan, and Yuzhou Mu Huang Wan. Therefore, the power of the clan should not be underestimated.
Luoyang is in the middle of the world, the situation is complicated, and every move affects the world. So Lu Renbing can't be happy at all.
Lu Renbing faced the same dilemma as Dong Zhuo in history, although he could obtain a high position by virtue of force and drunk driving, but because he had no talents, he could not completely control the government at all, and the government had to rely on those scholars.
So it's a must to stay for a while. The good news is that now the emperor and the empress dowager are under the control of Dong Zhuo, and Zhang Rang and Duan Gui still retain some of the power of the eunuchs. The interior of the court was not completely controlled by the children of the scholars, as it was in history.
As for hatred, Liu Xie and Liu Wei are the same for Lu Renbing, they have a grudge against Dong Cheng, but they have no enmity with Dong Zhuo, not to mention Dong Cheng's real enemy, He Jin, He Miao is dead.
Now Liu Bian is a tool man, easy to control and easy to use. Why risk being opposed by the world and abolish him? Is it not good to coerce the Son of Heaven to order the princes?
The power of the scholars cannot be allowed to dominate, the eunuchs must be restored, and the relatives must be restored. Can the clan also be involved? Politics must lead to more power struggles. They didn't have time to stare at him, Takeo Kansai.
It's the reckless man who rolls up his sleeves and fights. Look at Yuan Kui, who is too many. Taifu is above the three dukes and is the emperor's teacher, and Taifu Lu Shangshu is the de facto prime minister. Generally, as long as this Taifu does not rebel and the emperor does not die, it is unique. Therefore, Dong Zhuo, a fierce beast in the political arena, after entering Luoyang, first robbed someone else's commonplace, and later found out that Sangong was actually the world's punching bag, and there was a disaster, and Sangong was going to come out to take the blame. It's not fun, it's still fun to have military power, and I went to be a lieutenant again. In the end, it was found that the prime minister of the Western Han Dynasty was the most powerful, and he was really above 10,000 people under one person, so he restored the prime minister system and appointed himself as the prime minister and the prince.
Frequent changes in one's official position show that this person is actually immature in high-level politics. There is a feeling of revenge, revenge on whom? Of course, it's to take revenge on those soldiers who look down on him as a border county warrior, the official position you value, I want to do what I want to do, see how you can endure me!
Lu Renbing will not do these boring things, he needs the authority of the prime minister, but he can't ask for it himself, but asks others to give it to him. So from now on, we must start to raise hope. Grasp the most important central military power, financial power, and give the rest of the departments to the scholars, and the clan still has the remnants of the eunuch power, whoever will please himself, will give benefits. This is the power of a real superior.
As for Yuan Kui's opinion? Yuan Kui, an old and cunning guy, has no intention of usurping the throne. All he cared about was his own power. He Jin recruited foreign troops to threaten Empress Dowager He, he did not object, Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu killed the eunuchs, he did not stop it, and Dong Zhuo was the prime minister, he did not object, as long as he did not move his position. Historically, Dong Zhuo asked him for his opinion on deposing the emperor, and he agreed without hesitation. Therefore, later generations believe that the most important factor why Dong Zhuo was able to run rampant in Luoyang was Yuan Kui's inaction. Of course, there is another big man, Yang Biao's connivance is also an important factor.
These are all off-topic.
After Lu Renbing entered Luoyang, he began to recruit troops at the same time as the whole army. to deal with the coming war. In a month, the army controlled by Dong Zhuo swelled to 80,000 people.
Dong Zhuo broke the establishment of the Han army and abolished the Eighth Captain of the West Garden, which was set up to counter the eunuchs against He Jin. In the end, the regular army of 90,000 people was divided into nine armies, each army had 10,000 people, and the army commander was the lieutenant general, and each army was divided into 4 colonels, and the commander was the captain and the lieutenant had jurisdiction over 2,500 people.
The leader of each battalion is a lieutenant and has jurisdiction over 2,500 men.
Dong Zhuo led the whole army for the general of Da Sima, and the nine Zhonglang generals were Niu Fu, Dong Yue, Duan Xuan, Hu Zhen, Yang Ding, Xu Rong, Lu Bu, Zhang Liao, Hua Xiong,
The 36 lieutenants are Dong Huang, Li Dao, Guo Yan, Fan Chou, Zhang Ji, Li Meng, Wang Fang, Gao Shun, Hou Cheng, Dong Cheng and so on. All the officials will be added to the knighthood and rewarded with a lot of money.
After the army was completed, Lu Renbing began to expel him, and he was recruited by He Jin to slaughter the eunuchs, such as Dongjun Taishou Qiaomao, etc. Lu Renbing, by the will of the center, ordered them to return to the county. These generals were originally ordered by He Jin to kill the eunuchs. It's just fishing in troubled waters. After receiving the order, he saw that Dong Zhuo was powerful, and Ding Yuan, who was the most happy, was killed, and estimated his strength and shrunk. So he happily withdrew from the army, so as not to feel uncomfortable.
