Chapter 180: Dong Zhuo Luoyang handed over the pillow
Kong Ling left Yang Zhai and went all the way to the east, and something really happened to Wei Xuan's side. It's not that there are thieves in Funiu Mountain, but the Xiliang soldiers in Luoyang are looting everywhere!
Dong Zhuo was in full swing to seize power, the chaos in Luoyang continued to ferment, Chen Lin and others, the former staff of the General's Mansion refused to join Dong Zhuo, and proposed to Yuan Shao a plan to lure Dong Zhuo to death, Yuan Shao did not dare, Chen Lin abandoned the official and fled, starting the prelude to the flight of a large number of scholars.
Then the imperial court dismissed Sikong and sent envoys to Xianyang Yuan to worship Dong Zhuo as Sikong. Sikong was nominally the direct chief official of the Shaofu, but Dong Zhuo made him a powerful official, and the military and political power gradually tilted towards Dong Zhuo.
Dong Zhuo invited Yuan Shao to Xianyang Yuan to discuss the abolition, but of course Yuan Shao disagreed, and proposed to ask Yuan Kui, the Taifu. Yuan Shao said: "I'm afraid most people won't agree with you!" β
In fact, it's not that Yuan Shao can't accept Dong Zhuode's proposition, the key is who initiates it, who presides over it, who benefits the most, of course Yuan Shao doesn't want to give up the credit for supporting the new monarch to Dong Zhuo, who was originally in power.
Dong Zhuo was furious when he heard this, and drew his sword and pointed at Yuan Shao: "Shaft! What is the world ???????????????? Don't decide me? Who would dare to disobey me now? It is not good to say that Zhuo Dao! β
This is a bit arrogant, but Dong Zhuo at this time does have the strength to be arrogant. Yuan Shao was actually very empty-hearted, but for the sake of his own face, he still drew his sword and ridiculed: "The healthy person in the world, is it only Dong Gong?" β
Then he took his saber and walked away. Yuan Shao's words actually don't have much weight, what he said is don't think that you are strong and strong, there are many people in the world who are strong and strong, but he knows in his heart that these people do not include himself and his uncle. can only leave quickly while the action is not crazy, but such a direct conflict is equivalent to a complete tear of the face of both sides.
Dong Zhuo wanted to kill Yuan Shao directly for a moment, but Dong Zhuo was not crazy at this time, he knew Yuan Shao's prestige and status, and he couldn't do anything about him.
Dong Zhuo then reported the abolition to Taifu Yuan Kui, Yuan Kui was not Yuan Shao, he was old and well-established, and he didn't have the courage to disobey Dong Zhuo, who was in military power, so he agreed in a daze.
Yuan Shao saw that his uncle did not support him, and now that Dong Zhuo has a name, Yuan Shao is the most eye-catching one, he did not dare to sit still in Luoyang, so he abandoned Shaoguan and fled to Bohai County, Jizhou.
Yuan Shao's escape marked the basic abandonment of resistance by the Shiren group, at least the strength to confront Dong Zhuo head-on was almost non-existent! Because Yuan Shao was a lieutenant of Sili before he fled, and after Yuan Shao fled from Luoyang, Hu Ben Zhonglang also wiped Yuan Shu from Luoyang to Nanyang. The two key positions that were vacated at once were naturally filled by the people who were attracted by the action, and the rest were Wang Yun and Dong Zhuoxu and Wei Snake.
Wei Xuan also smiled bitterly when he received the news, he didn't know what Yuan Shao's mood was at this time, he should be frightened, but if he still has a little bit of courage to fight, he should come to Yingchuan or go to Runan, where the clan lives, and climb high and echo with Wei Xuan. He ran away to the Bohai Sea.
Yuan Shao's escape is equivalent to encouraging Dong Zhuo in disguise, on August 30, Dong Zhuo proposed the abolition of the establishment at the court meeting, and took Huo Guangshi as an example, since Tian Yannian (whoever opposed it will be executed immediately), this is obviously more than the day to discuss with Yuan Shao has escalated, Dong Zhuo's arrogance has risen to the 2.0 era, the Manchu Dynasty civil and military only Shangshu Lu Zhi stood up to protest, Dong Zhuo was knocked speechless, angry to boycott.
Later, Dong Zhuo also wanted to find an opportunity to kill Lu Zhi, but was dissuaded by Cai Yong, Xun Shuang, Peng Boqun and others, and Lu Zhi abandoned his official position and fled when he got the news.
As a result, no one in the Luoyang court dared to stop Dong Zhuo, and Dong Zhuo's domineering and domineering attitude was upgraded to 3.0.
On September 1, in the front hall of Chongde, Shangshu Ding Palace presided over the abolition ceremony, Taifu Yuan Kui helped Liu Wei down the throne, lifted the jade seal and handed it to Liu Xie, and then helped Liu Xie to officially ascend the throne, and changed the following year to the first year of the initial evaluation, Liu Xie was the later Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty. At this time, although the heirloom jade seal has not been found, no one cares about this matter anymore. Just looking at Taifu Yuan Kui's attitude, he knew that the political dispute in Luoyang was completely defeated.
Immediately afterwards, Dong Zhuo asked Shangshu to read out the policy, and impeached the Empress Dowager He for killing the Empress Dowager Dong, deposed him, and moved to Yong'an Palace.
On September 3, Empress Dowager He was poisoned and died. Dong Zhuo did not allow the imperial court to hold a funeral for the Empress Dowager, but asked Liu Xie to go to Fengchang Pavilion in Luoyang City to express condolences, and the ministers wore white clothes to the court for three days.
Next???????????????? Naturally, more speculators fell to Dong Zhuo, and some people even actively took him to give advice, so Dong Zhuo's next series of operations were also confusing. Wei Xuan felt that many of these must be Jia Xu's plans. Of course, Li Ru is also Dong Zhuo's most trusted adviser, thinking that with these two people, Dong Zhuo at this time is actually very powerful and powerful.
The first thing Dong Zhuo had to do was to correct his name, and the imperial court sealed Liu Yu, who was far away in Youzhou, as the Great Sima (the position of the prince), Dong Zhuo was changed from Sikong to Tai Lieutenant, and also led the hussar general, added festivals, gave axes and tigers, and was more named Marquis. Yang Biao, the contemporary head of the Hongnong Yang family and the father of Yang Xiu, who is as famous as the Yuan family in Runan, was worshiped by Dong Zhuo as the Four Dragons, further dividing the ontology of the Shiren Group.
Dong Zhuode first joined Situ Huangwan and Sikong Yang Biao to carry the Gong to the court to write a letter, demanding the rehabilitation of Chen Fan and Dou Wu, who were politically characterized (framed) as traitors during the September coup d'Γ©tat in the first year of Jianning (168), and many party members who were arrested and killed in the "Second Party Rebellion" in the following year (169). Liu Xie (Yuan Kui) quasi-played, restored the titles of Chen Fan and others, and promoted their children and grandchildren to officials. If you put aside Dong Zhuowu's identity, all this he has done seems to be a virtuous appearance! It's a pity that the prejudice of the scholar group does not appreciate this, and Wei Xuan heard a lot of yin and yang strange remarks ridiculing Dong Zhuo in Yingchuan, a place where famous people gather.
To be fair, after Dong Zhuo led his troops into Beijing, he didn't do anything excessive, except for the abolition of the establishment. For example, close to Zhou Bi (Zhou Shen's son), Wu Qiong, former officials of the General's Mansion He Hao and Zheng Tai also became his staff. At the suggestion of his staff, Dong Zhuo got close to the scholars and recruited celebrities (such as Xun Shuang, Han Rong, and Chen Ji) to join the court as officials, among them, Wei Xuan's father-in-law Cai Yong became Dong Zhuo's most trusted staff.
At the same time, Dong Zhuo also selected a large number of celebrities (such as: Han Fu, Liu Dai, Kong Ling, Zhang Zhi, Ying Shao, Zhang Miao) to serve as local Taishou and other important positions, Han Fu is the pastor of Jizhou, Liu Dai is the history of Yanzhou Thorn, Kong Ling is the history of Hezhou Thorn, Zhang Zhi is the history of Jingzhou Thorn, and Zhang Miao is Chen Liutaishou. Yuan Shao's ability to be safe and sound in Jizhou is inseparable from Han Fu, a guest of the Yuan family, as the pastor of Jizhou.
Even regardless of his previous suspicions, he gave Taishou to Yuan Shao, Wang Kuang, Bao Xin and others who were disgusted with themselves and abandoned their officials to show reconciliation. Of course, the generous Wang Kuang sealed Hanoi a little closer, and Yuan Shao, the thorn head, sealed the Bohai Sea a little farther. Although it is a little farther, it is justified to let Yuan Shao in Bohai. If Dong Zhuo won in the end and did not usurp the throne, the evaluation of the history books might compare Dong Zhuo with the Duke of Zhou, but it is a pity that he failed, and he was a failed martial artist!
To this end, Wei Xuan felt that Dong Zhuo had truly achieved the pinnacle of Quanchen! But whether it was Jia Xu or Li Ru's plan, Wei Xuan felt that Dong Zhuo still underestimated Yuan Shao and others' desire for power, and he self-righteously thought that he had divided the scholars to Kanto in this way, and also laid the foundation for the later princes to raise troops to crusade. For example, Yuan Shao, Han Fu, Bao Xin, Liu Dai, Kong Ling, Zhang Zhi, Ying Shao, Zhang Miao and others except for Zhang Zhi who was beheaded by Wuchenghou who led the troops to pass by because he offended Sun Jian, everyone else did not have the slightest gratitude, but rebelled when they had the opportunity.
Dong Zhuo is so good to the scholars, but on the other hand, he is a little ???????????????? to the people he brought with him in Liangzhou is strict with himself, only a few people such as Niu Fu were named Zhonglang generals, such as Xu Rong, Li Dao, Guo Yan and others are only captains, that is, only his own younger brother has been named a general.
Maybe it was Dong Zhuo's strict self-discipline that showed weakness and weakness in the eyes of the scholars, and it was a waste of effort in the eyes of his subordinates, so some of them began to act mischiefly. Dong Zhuo desperately suppressed his subordinates in order not to cause a strong backlash from the scholars, and he planted the seeds for his subordinates to vent in private.
For example, Hu Zhen, Li Dao, Guo Yan and others relied on the prestige of military power to indulge soldiers in robbing rich households, looting property, and raping women in Luoyang City. Even the Yingchuan border, which is four hundred miles away from Luoyang, also appeared in the figure of the Xiliang cavalry, and several county magistrates and county heads of clans close to Yin in Henan asked Wei Xuan for help, which made Wei Xuan very angry.
This was something that Wei Xuan hadn't expected before, and he really didn't have time to take care of Kong Ling. He had been farming silently before, watching the situation, and as a result, the fire burned on himself. As a last resort, Wei Xuan sent Zhang Liao and Wei Yanbing to the border to guard against the Xiliang soldiers in two ways. At the same time, the subordinate officials of the Taishou Prefecture were convened to discuss countermeasures. The people who were originally lamenting Wei Xuan's ability to govern were furious when they heard that Dong Zhuo's generals had looted one by one. But let them think of a good way, what good can they do.
In the end, Wei Xuan could only propose to recruit troops again, expand a military camp outside the city, and a third of the county soldiers were also required to go to the border. And taking advantage of the opportunity of Zhang Liao and Wei Yan to send troops, they secretly sent Liu Ming and Pei Yuanshao to Funiu Mountain to occupy the cottage in front of the cave.
At the same time, Wei Xuan began to use the topic to play, and wrote to the court on this matter, accusing the autocratic Dong Zhuo of not being able to restrain his subordinates well, and if such things happened again, he would be blocked as a thief general. Wei Xuan, of course, is making propaganda for the crusade against Dong Zhuo, so that Dong Zhuo and other scholars can be psychologically prepared, otherwise he will suddenly raise the flag in Yingchuan in the future, and it is estimated that Dong Zhuo will be difficult to accept. Wei Xuan can not care about Dong Zhuode's feelings, but he must occupy the righteousness, so that Dong Zhuo, who has not yet gone completely crazy, is forced to use troops against Hedong easily.
