Liu Wei abdicated, Liu Xie ascended the throne, and Empress Dowager He died.

The Han Dynasty entered a period when Yuan Kui was in power.

The Yuan family, who has been deeply involved in the world for four generations, and counting the generations of people who have been silently accumulated for the family before the development, finally realized everything that all scholars dreamed of on this day of this year and month.

Eliminate eunuchs, eliminate relatives, and take sole control of the government.

Turn the emperor into a mascot, let the emperor become a symbol, and let the world be dominated and controlled by them.

All living beings are in the hands of scholars.

Those who read, studied, mastered the knowledge of domination, and monopolized all the knowledge and channels of ascension, stepped on Li Shu and punched the royal family, and finally mastered the world.

The vision has finally come true.

However, Yuan Kui deeply knew that in order to keep the fruits of victory, there were still some things that needed to be done.

We have only just completed this great undertaking, and we need to lay a solid foundation if we want to continue to have it for a long time.

And what is your foundation?

There is no doubt that it is the former official of the Yuan family.

So Yuan Kui finally moved his noble gaze down slightly, and saw a fat body.

Fat, prestigious, good at fighting, and his seniority in the army exceeds that of all the children of his own Yuan family, including Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu.

In the scope of Yuan's former officials, Yuan Kui did not find a more suitable candidate than Dong Zhuo, so there is no doubt that in the field that he is not good at, he should let professionals be the leader, and he can lead him himself.

On September 12, as soon as calm had been restored in the court, Yuan Kui arranged for Dong Zhuo to be transferred from Sikong to Tai Lieutenant, and he was justifiably in charge of the military power of the whole country.

At the same time, Dong Zhuo also led the former general, added festivals, gave axes and tigers, and was named the Marquis.

Then, together with Dong Zhuo, Yuan Kui began to woo certain scholars who were dissatisfied because of the drastic coup, hoping to use the exchange of political benefits to convince them to recognize the new emperor's throne and ensure their rule.

Yang Biao, who was born in the Hongnong Yang family, was appointed as Sikong, and Huang Wan, the former Yuzhou Mu, was recruited into the court as Situ.

Coupled with Dong Zhuo as the captain, a ruling team headed by Yuan Kui and three dukes was formed in the court, which was in good order.

Of course, Lu Zhizhi, who had lost the authority of the Lu Shang Shu, was excluded, and only a very noble but no real power was left with the title of Taishi.

The major event was completed, the order of Luoyang was restored, the power of the Yuan clan of the fourth and third princes reached its peak, and Yuan Kuizhi was complacent.

He felt that he had accomplished many things that his ancestors dreamed of but could not accomplish, and he was the best descendant of the Yuan family.

The future will be even better.

Yuan Kui imagined so happily.

Then, at the suggestion of some good scholars, Dong Zhuo officially opened the government as a lieutenant, and recruited famous scholars from all over the country to serve in his mansion to serve as officials, so as to improve his reputation.

Yuan Kui thought that in addition to Dong Zhuo, all of the ruling team were scholars, and in order to make Dong Zhuo better serve the scholars, it was necessary to make his surroundings full of scholars, identify with scholars, and serve the interests of scholars wholeheartedly, so he did not stop it.

Dong Zhuo issued quite a number of summoning orders to celebrities at home, including Cai Yong, who was able to return to his hometown in Chenliu County in the Central Plains because of the young emperor's accession to the throne and amnesty for the world.

And the day Dong Zhuo's summoning document was issued, September 13, was also the time when Guo Peng led his army to officially set off to Qingzhou.

As early as 2 September, Guo Peng led his army to gallop all the way back to his hometown of Qiaoxian.

Then he shouted Cao Song and the old people of the Xiahou family, including his father Guo Dan, and announced to them that he had been appointed as the assassin of Qingzhou and wanted to take office as soon as possible.

They were all pleasantly surprised.

Guo Shan was even more happy, dancing happily, and felt that Guo Peng's future was bright.

Subsequently, Guo Peng made a request to them, hoping that they could finance his own construction of a strong army.

Because Qingzhou was threatened by the Yellow Turban Army, if he wanted to do a good job in this Qingzhou assassination history, he had to purge the Yellow Turban Army in the entire Qingzhou, and it was definitely indispensable to fight, and he only had 3,000 troops in his hands, which was not enough, and he hoped to be funded.

That's a no-brainer.

The outstanding sons of the Xiahou clan of the Cao family have all become Guo Peng's former officials, serving under him, and both families have focused on Guo Peng, Guo Peng has a request, and they immediately donate generously.

Guo Shan said even more excitedly, and it didn't matter if the entire Guo Manor moved to Qingzhou.

So the three families of the Guo clan, the Cao clan, and the Xiahou clan took out their family assets to fully assist Guo Peng in recruiting troops near his hometown, and directly handed over some of the armed forces in the clan to Guo Peng to be his soldiers.

And the people near his hometown heard the news that Guo Peng was going to assassinate Qingzhou and was recruiting troops in his hometown to go to Qingzhou to serve and crusade against the Yellow Turban Army, and they immediately came to vote in large numbers.

Guo Peng also took the opportunity to integrate the hidden soldiers and horses in his family's manor into the army.

The 5,000 cavalry was re-completed, and the Guo Manor, the Cao Manor, and the Xiahou Manor jointly contributed 5,000 strong men, which were organized by Guo Peng as an infantry army and trained in the Guo Manor.

Guo Peng's weapons, armor and grain, which he had stored for several years, came in handy.

Through the propaganda of the three major families, in just three or five days, Guo Peng has gained momentum, and people continue to take the initiative to take refuge.

There are also local heroes who led their own private soldiers to join Guo Peng, and were appointed by Guo Peng as officers of various sizes and incorporated into the army.

Among them, there was a relatively short but strong young man who attracted Guo Peng's attention, and upon inquiry, he learned that this person's name was Lejin and he was literate, Guo Peng felt happy and appointed him as the head of the tun.

At the same time, Guo Peng recruited scholars as General Zuo and Qingzhou Thorn History.

But unfortunately, at this time, the news of the abdication of the old emperor and the new emperor's accession to the throne has come out, and the news of the reshuffle of the imperial court has also come out, so a large number of scholars have gone to Luoyang to participate in the feast of scholars.

The Xun clan, the Chen clan, the Han clan, and a large number of Yingchuan scholars collectively defected to Luoyang, defected to their own light, and disdained the solicitation of some local officials.

Guo Peng also learned that after he left, everything developed as he knew, and Lu Zhi was also removed from the power of Shangshutai, and began to retire as a titular prince.

After a brief hesitation, the scholars were driven by huge interests and collectively recognized the legitimate status of the new emperor Liu Xie.

If you do not agree with the legitimate status of the new emperor, you will not be able to get political benefits, and in this regard, everyone is not stupid.

Guo Peng and Guo Dan also congratulated the new emperor on his accession to the throne and recognized the new emperor's legal status.

Therefore, Guo Peng did not recruit any scholars in his hometown, and basically brought the original team from Shanggu County.

All the children of the famous scholar clan went to Luoyang, and only one Yingchuan man named Xizhong Biaozi Zhicai came to seek refuge with Guo Peng.
