One hundred and ninety-four Situ Wang Yun
As the old saying goes, times make heroes.
In fact, many times, heroes are also products of the times.
This is also why, in times of war, there is no shortage of heroes, in fact, it is precisely because of disasters that heroes are famous.
As the ancients said, měi nǚ loves heroes. Actually, who doesn't worship heroes?
Who doesn't look up to heroes?
Who doesn't want to be a hero.
So, some people will ask, exactly, what is a hero?
There are clouds: "the winner is the king, the loser is the loser", there are also clouds: "do not judge the hero by success or failure", many people have different exams on the definition of heroes, what kind of person is a hero?
Since ancient times, there has been no universal definition of a hero.
And with the change of the times, there are many differences between the heroes spoken of by the ancients and the heroes spoken of today.
For example, in the local battle situation of modern warfare, a soldier who fought bravely and risked his life to blow up several enemy tanks immediately became a hero.
Another example is a cleaner who has worked hard for decades, and suddenly one day he is found to have done something good, and he also becomes a hero.
In modern society, the concept of heroes tends to become broader.
But here in ancient times, what is to be discussed would be another concept of pure heroism.
"Those who are heroes have great ambitions, have good plans, have the opportunity to contain the universe, and have the ambition to swallow heaven and earth."
In fact, heroes in a general sense are just characters who are good at some aspects and are good at taking advantage of the current situation.
Just like the character Guo Jing's sentence, "The great man of chivalry is for the country and the people." "Same.
In fact, whether it is a chivalrous man or a hero in the era of cold weapons, the essence is that they all hold the original intention of the rise and fall of the country and the so-called righteousness.
For example, Jing Ke, who assassinated the King of Qin, and Yao Li, who assassinated Qingji, when facing the danger of ruining the country and destroying the family, these assassins who can only kill people can also be called heroes by their countries.
Of course, many times, these heroes are still inseparable from the influence of the times.
Although they can recognize the situation, grasp the moment, and take advantage of the situation, they will also be trapped if the situation is gone.
Just like the overlord of Chu, he tried his best to pull out the mountain and cover the world, but in the end, because of the "unfavorable times", he ended up killing himself in Wujiang.
Therefore, those who can only take advantage of the current situation, although they are heroes, can only be called Shi Xiong, that is to say, they are the heroes of the time, and they are called heroes because of the time.
They may be able to dominate for a while, but eventually they will be conquered or subdued.
This is not only the misfortune of the heroes, but also their shining brilliance, just like the meteors that flash in the sky.
Today's Han Situ, Wang Yun, is undoubtedly such a person.
This is an old man who has gone through two dynasties and ups and downs.
He is one of the few old men in the court of the Han Dynasty today, born in a family of eunuchs, he began to serve in public office at the age of nineteen, and served as the assassin of Yuzhou in his prime.
Wang Yun has been extraordinary, and although he was born into a wealthy family, he is not obsessed with luxury and comfort.
Determined to grow up, he should not only inherit and carry forward the traditions of his parents, but also worry about the country and benefit the society of the Eastern Han Dynasty, make full use of the superior environment of his family, read poetry and books, and read the scriptures extensively.
When he was a teenager, Wang Yun had become a talented man who was full of economy and wealth, and literati from near and far were impressed by him.
When he had a friendship with Guo Linzong, a man from the same county who was known as the first famous scholar in the Eastern Han Dynasty, he was praised by Guo Linzong; "Wang Sheng's day is a thousand miles, and Wang Zuozhi's talent is also."
After the death of Emperor Ling, the power of his relatives led by He Jin increased greatly, and the eunuch Zhang Rang lost control of the central government and was in danger of being destroyed.
The general He Jin took advantage of the opportunity of the funerals of various local officials to make friends and win over his own forces in order to seek concessions.
Wang Yuncai stepped into the court again and rose all the way.
When Zhang Rang ambushed and killed He Jin, Dong Zhuo, Yuan Shu and others, who had been secretly summoned, immediately led troops into Beijing to kill Zhang Rang.
Zhang Rang, Duan Hang and others kidnapped the young emperor Liu Wei and Chen Liuwang Liu Xie and fled in the middle of the night.
At that time, the ministers and doctors of the court were overwhelmed by the rapidly changing situation, and they did not dare to protect the young emperor.
It was still him, Wang Yun, who immediately gathered some soldiers and followed Shangshu Lu Zhi to protect the young emperor, and afterwards, personally welcomed the young emperor back to the palace.
Then, Dong Zhuo abolished the young emperor and offered the emperor Liu Xie to succeed him, and Wang Yun replaced Yang Biao as Situ under Dong Zhuo's instructions, and at the same time served as Shang Shuling.
Of course, it is precisely like this, in the eyes of outsiders, he Wang Yun, who was once like-minded, began to gradually "degenerate", and he was Dong Zhuo's minions!
Next.
Wang Yun, who dragged his tired body, had just left the court, thinking about the filth in the court, and Liu Xie, the son of heaven who suppressed Dong Zhuo's momentum in the court.
The old man's eyes couldn't help but flash a trace of pain, and he sighed gloomily, and after letting his subordinates prepare wine and wine jugs, he was alone in the room, looking at the table with cloudy eyes.
After a long time, I took a deep breath, spread out the paper on the table, dipped in ink, lifted the pen, and wrote a big "Chinese" character.
Immediately, this old man, for a while, had mixed feelings in his heart, looking at this old word and tears.
From the era of Emperor Ling, he has gone through the changes of the Yellow Turban Dòng Luàn and the Ten Standing Servants in the court, and until now he is in the Dong Zhuo Dynasty, he is a witness step by step, and the Han Dynasty of that year has gradually been turbulent and weakened.
In this process, for the old man who is committed to serving the Han, his heart is naturally bitter.
From Dong Zhuo's perverse behavior, Wang Yun has been keenly aware that this man may become the biggest hidden danger threatening the Eastern Han Dynasty, and necessary measures must be taken to curb and get rid of Dong Zhuo!
However, Dong Zhuo has a strong military force in his hands, many henchmen, and Dong Zhuo himself is fierce and vicious, if he takes the initiative to attack, he can only hit the stone with an egg.
Wang Yun blindly resigned himself on the surface, and even obeyed Dong Zhuo to let him relax his guard, but in fact, he was planning carefully and making careful arrangements.
Because after Dong Zhuo entered Luoyang, in order to gain a firm foothold and expand his influence, he tried his best to win over influential officials in the court.
At this time, he Wang Yun had already planned carefully, remained quiet, and returned to the trend as much as possible.
Even sometimes, Wang Yun did not hesitate to be hypocritical and deviate from his inner principles in exchange for Dong Zhuo's trust.
Over time, Dong Zhuo saw that Wang Yun was not only talented, but also loyal to him, and had no second thoughts, so he regarded Wang Yun as his confidant and cronies, and did not have the slightest suspicion about Wang Yun, and gradually began to entrust Wang Yun with matters related to government affairs.
It's a pity that he has worked hard, and now who knows about it, and who understands his hard work?
A former colleague, now everyone calls him a prince, a villain who tends to be inflammatory.
It's lamentable, ridiculous, pathetic!
