Chapter 134: Ownership of the Imperial Throne

Yuan Shao looked at Cao Cao and the others: "Meng De, why not?" ”

Chen Lin said: "At the beginning, the army of Luoyang belonged to the generals, why did they summon other towns? ”

Yuan Shao said with a smile: "Kong Zhang, the Northern Army has always believed in the lieutenant officers, but it is very unreliable, and Jian Shuo leads the Xiyuan soldiers, can you forget the story of the great general Dou Wu?" ”

The general Dou Wu and Taifu Chen Fan also wanted to get rid of the eunuchs, but they led thousands of northern troops and more than 1,000 people to Wang Fu, Wang Fu shouted for a while, saying that Dou Wu rebelled, so the northern army dispersed one after another, and the dignified general could only commit suicide, implicating family relatives and friends......

As soon as everyone heard that Yuan Shao's words were reasonable, they all discussed it in detail. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

Yuan Shao couldn't help but feel proud when he saw that he said something, and said: "The queen and He Che Qisu are close to the eunuchs, if the general recruits the northern soldiers, it will be known to the eunuchs." And borrowing troops from other towns, but the ambition of a great general, killing two birds with one stone, why not? ”

Everyone thought about it, the general was caught between his relatives and benefactors and the righteous cause, and it was really a bit dangerous. It's better to listen to Yuan Benchu and summon foreign soldiers to destroy the eunuch with a thunderous force. Besides, there is a northern army, and the soldiers of Forgiveness do not dare to be presumptuous.

So everyone knew about it, but Cao Cao resolutely objected: "Eunuch officials, ancient and modern should have them, but the lord of the world should not be favored by false power, so that it is so." If you punish their crimes, they should punish the evil, and one jailer is enough, so why call foreign generals one after another? If you want to punish it, it will be revealed, and I will see its defeat. ”

Yuan Shao shook his hand and said, "Meng De doesn't need to say much, I have made up my mind, I should be the general, and ask the general to summon the town." ”

Cao Cao can't do it, at this time, his prestige and reputation are not as good as Yuan Shao's, and he is not as good as Yuan Shao's status in the heart of the general He Jin, so he has to leave it to him.

So Cao Cao asked again: "Since you summoned the other towns, who did you intend to belong to?" ”

Everyone looked at Yuan Shao.

Yuan Shao said: "Dong Zhuo Dong Zhongying of Liangzhou, is a general in the army, can fight well, all his troops are tiger pawns, and loyal to the country, and his people are available." I want to summon him to Beijing! ”

One word is earth-shattering. Cao Cao looked at Yuan Shao with an incredible expression, he had thought of countless possibilities, but he didn't expect Yuan Shao to dare to summon Dong Zhuo.

Immediately, Zheng Tai stood up and objected: "Dong Zhongying is unruly and difficult to control, and entering Beijing will inevitably be a disaster, so you must not summon this person to Beijing!" ”

Zheng Tai worked in Shangshutai, so he naturally knew about Dong Zhuo's resistance to the decree, and for a loyal minister like him, the rebellion was already beyond the bottom limit of a courtier. He naturally didn't want Dong Zhuo to enter Beijing.

Cao Cao also objected: "If you want to summon other towns, Liu Xuande will garrison Jingzhou, Jingzhou has not fought for a long time, and Liangzhou is not able to catch the troops, and Jingzhou is near, Liangzhou is far away, can you not call Xuande?" ”

Cao Cao said this, and everyone seconded it. For everyone, Liu Bei is a first-class standard doctor, good learning, strong ability, and more importantly, high moral character, for such a person, it is undoubtedly much more reassuring than Dong Zhuo, who started from fighting in the army and forgetting his righteousness.

Yuan Shao saw everyone's words, but he couldn't help sneering in his heart, he didn't transfer anyone, and he wouldn't transfer Liu Bei. If Liu Bei comes, with his fame, won't all the limelight be robbed by Liu Bei? At that time, he, the person who makes the decision, is busy with everything, what else can he fall on?

It's better to recruit troops by yourself than to let Liu Bei enter Luoyang casually, so that he can show his skills. What's more, only when Dong Zhuo, a reckless man, came, could the Yuan family profit from the chaos.

Everyone discussed for a long time, and when they saw that Yuan Shao was slow to express his position, they couldn't help but feel slightly angry in their hearts, and decided to report to the general He Jin alone tomorrow. So everyone parted unhappily.

These guys, the emperor only has one breath left, they don't care about visiting, but they just hope that the emperor will die soon, and then the new son of heaven will succeed to the throne, and they will plot to punish the eunuchs. It's really the emperor who has done too much in the past few decades, and the emperor has made them too disappointed.

Liu Bei was in Jingzhou, watching the days pass day by day, and vaguely knew that the emperor was probably short. At this time, he relied on the old people in Beijing to deliver news to him. He didn't know, when the Son of Heaven died, after Yuan Shao's stupid transfer of Dong Zhuo to Beijing, he would also raise troops into Beijing, or would he not move?

If you don't have soldiers, you really can't stand Dong Zhuo's pig tossing in Beijing, so that the prosperous place of the good division is messed up and barren. If he raised an army, did not follow the edict, and gave many people the truth, at least in Xun Yu's heart, the image of this loyal monarch for the country would be greatly reduced, and he would become a careerist in the eyes of the world......

It's good to take one step at a time. The timing of the army is also very important, when Dong Zhuo starts to mess around, as a member of the Han clan, he will protect the Son of Heaven, no one can say anything wrong, right?

But he said that the Son of Heaven was in the palace, and he knew that his time was short. When a person is about to die, he is naturally exempt from looking back on his life. The Son of Heaven found that he didn't seem to have done anything good in his life except eating, drinking, and having fun, and the only thing that could be praised by the subjects of the world might be the Xiping Stone Scripture. At this time, the Son of Heaven went through the situation in his mind, and began to worry about the rise of his empire.

Youzhou, Yizhou, Jingzhou and other places have their own important ministers who can guard the town, and he is not too worried. He was worried about two things, he was worried that after his death, Dong Zhuo and his ilk would be uncontrollable; Worried about the heirs after his death.

Dong Zhuo has been in Liangzhou for a long time, he has a prestige in Qianghu, and his troops are strong and strong. He said: "The generals Huang Zhongyi Cong and Qin Hu soldiers are all said to be incomplete, and the wife is hungry and cold. Pull the minister's car, so that it can't be done, Qiang Hu intestinal dog, the minister can't prohibit it, and he will be comforted and added. "To the effect that he wanted to come to Beijing to be an official, Qiang Hu refused to let him, saying that he still owed them military funds, and he had no choice, so he couldn't come.

Between the words, the unruly tone was undoubtedly revealed, as if to say to the court, only I can handle the soldiers I bring, and I must be forcibly transferred away, and don't blame me if there is a mess.

The imperial court also knew that if Dong Zhuo was really forcibly recruited, Dong Zhuo's subordinates would inevitably cause chaos. Whoever makes the mess, everyone knows it in their hearts, and they just tacitly understand it.

Since that time, there has been a thorn in the emperor's heart. Liangzhou has been in chaos for so many years, he doesn't want his children to take office, and he also has a headache for this problem. So he issued an edict again, this time to promote Dong Zhuo, worship him as the pastor of the state, and then his troops belonged to Huangfu Song.

Although Dong Zhuo didn't read much, he understood at a glance that this was to seize his military power. Dong Zhuo, who has lived in a chaotic place since he was a child, knows that without military power and troops, the court can handle itself as much as it wants. This bright rise and dark fall, this dang, I can't go up.

So Dong Zhuo wrote again: "The minister has no old scheming, and no great deeds, and the grace of heaven is mistakenly added, and he has been in charge for ten years." The size of the soldiers has been similar for a long time, and they love the grace of the ministers, and they are the lives of the ministers. Begging for the northern state, the service of the side. "I accepted the official position, but I still refused to hand over the troops. Instead, they stationed troops in the east of the river to wait and see how the times changed.

The emperor was seriously ill at this time, and there were still many things he had to explain after his death, the most important of which was the issue of the heir, and he would not be able to spare energy to clean up Dong Zhuo for a while. Otherwise, if he was in good health, ten Dong Zhuo would be gone.

If you go outside, you must first settle inside. Let's get the heir to the throne first.

The emperor has been in office for decades, but there are only two princes and one imperial daughter. It's not that he is not capable, but the survival rate of babies at this time, even if he is a son of heaven, he can't. He has countless children, but only these few seedlings have survived so far.

The emperor's eldest son, Liu Bian, was born by Empress He. It stands to reason that Empress He's favor has not diminished for more than ten years, and Liu Bian should have become the crown prince early. But the emperor didn't like Liu Bian, thinking that he was too frivolous and had no one to dominate.

It's no wonder that Liu Bian, the emperor lost several princes at that time, and finally got another prince, naturally he was overjoyed, but he was afraid that he would not be able to support himself, so he fostered Liu Bian in Shi Dao's house. One is for many years. He is known as Shi Hou.

Liu Zhi raised in the people, but he was healthy, disease-free, and lively, but who was not good at raising it, but he was raised in a Taoist family who loved alchemy and drawing talismans. After more than ten years of hearing and seeing, Liu Bian is very eager for fairy methods such as drawing talismans and alchemy, catching ghosts and subduing demons. It can be said that it is quite a true biography of the historians. Shi Daoren can't do it, the prince likes this, can he not teach it?

Originally, it was fine, anyway, the emperor himself likes to play this. But he preferred to die rather than die, and Zhang Jiao staged a Yellow Turban Uprising, which made the world still unpeaceful. At this time, the emperor changed from a love of Taoism, and instantly turned black and hated Taoist priests and Taoism to the core. However, the eldest son Liu Bian liked this and his interest was undiminished, so in the eyes of the emperor, it became a negative impression.

He always felt that if his eldest son Liu Bian became the emperor, he was afraid that he would be even more chaotic than himself. As soon as he thought of Liu Bian as the Son of Heaven and a group of Taoists who hunted ghosts and drew talismans in the palace, the emperor felt that he couldn't stand it.

Let's look at Liu Xie, the second son of the emperor. Liu Xie was born, and his mother Wang Meiren was killed by Queen He. Liu Xie inherited his mother's genes, not to mention that he was very pink, and he was raised by his mother, the Empress Dowager Dong, who had studied a stomach full of poetry and books, and was well-behaved and polite. And Wang Meiren is what the emperor has always been thinking about. Maybe it's the best thing that is lost. The emperor undoubtedly transferred all his love and thoughts for Wang Meiren to Liu Xie.

So between Liu and Liu Xie, the balance naturally tilted involuntarily.

It's just that when he was making a decision himself, the ministers objected to it. It's more about considering the attitude of the queen and the eldest brother. He Jin has been a general for many years, his position is stable, and his soldiers have received many favors. If you don't stand up, I'm afraid that after you die, there will be bloodshed immediately.

Although he set up the Xiyuan Soldiers last year, he promoted his cousin Dong Zhong to the hussar general and sat in the position of the second oldest in the army. However, the He family brothers are one general and the other is a chariot general, and Dong Chongshi is alone, but he is afraid that he can't fight. How is it good?

The emperor is also an ordinary person, and he is also weighing the pros and cons. He's also planning the layout. It's a pity that the time is too urgent, and for the sake of the safety of the world, he sent all the important ministers of the clan out to guard the place. Otherwise, if there are one or two important ministers of the clan here, he can make an edict with peace of mind. Why hold back your breath, think about it, and make a decision?
