In the summer and June of the third year of Chuping (the second year of Jian'an), Li Dao, Guo Yan and other generals broke through Chang'an and plundered for several days. The victims of the 100 officials and ministers from Situ Wang Yun include Taichang Chongfu, Taifu Lu Xu, Da Honglu Zhou Huan, Sili Captain Huang Wan, Chengmen Captain Cui Lie, Yue Qi Captain Wang Qi, Left Fengyi Song Yi, Right Fufeng Wang Hong and other ministers. As for the people who died, there are innumerable.

Li Dao and others broke Chang'an, and persecuted the Son of Heaven at the Vermilion Bird Gate. The Son of Heaven in Chang'an couldn't, so he made Li Xuan a general of the chariot and cavalry, an open house, a lieutenant of the consul and a lieutenant, and a fake festival; Guo Yan was the rear general; Fan Chou is the right general; Zhang Ji is the general of Zhendong...... and enshrined the marquis. Then began to discuss the reward of meritorious deeds, and finally Li, Guo, and Fan jointly upheld the government and made Zhang Ji out of Tunhongnong. In order to avoid Zhang Ji's dissatisfaction, he moved his nephew Zhang Xiu as the general of Jianzhong and the marquis of Xuanwei. In addition, Jia Xu was made Zuo Fengyi and wanted to be made a marquis. Jia Xuli refused, saying: "What a merit is to save your life!" Stubborn, so he wanted to shoot Jia Xu as a scholar, and Jia Xu resigned: "Shangshu servant, the commander of the official, the world's hope, is not famous, so he is not convinced." Indulge in Rongli, Nai Guo Chaohe! Pushing back and forth, in the end, Jia Xu only accepted the position of Shangshu.

From Wang Yun and Lu Bu plotting to punish Dong Zhuo, to the rebellion of the Liangzhou soldiers, Lu Bu ran away and Wang Yun died. In the intervening months, although the Kwantung princes knew about the drastic changes in Chang'an, they did not pay attention to it. At the beginning, Liu Bei was in Qingzhou, and when he heard that the generals in Liangzhou were opposed, he sighed: "Liangzhou is in civil strife, and he can't take care of himself. ”

So he summoned the ministers and the Confucian scholars of the academy to discuss the matter. In the seat, Liu Bei said: "Gentlemen, I heard that Dong Zhuo was dead today, and there was chaos in Guanzhong." I want to ask the Son of Heaven to order the princes of the world to lead their troops to the west, and determine the world in one fell swoop, but what? ”

Everyone was overjoyed when they heard this, although these people hated the first emperor and Dong Zhuo to the core, but they still had strong feelings for the Han Dynasty. Liu Bei's words are exactly what he wants. If the Son of Heaven decrees and the princes raise troops, then the Han Dynasty will be reunified again, and it will no longer fall apart at present. Seeing that the glory of the Han Dynasty could be reproduced, the ministers expressed their approval. Sitting in the room, Xun Yu said: "The lord has a very good intention, if the princes should not, what should they do?" ”

Liu Bei stood up, his chest was full of pride, and he looked at it with a daze, and said: "The princes should not, I should invite soldiers into the customs!" ”

So under Liu Bei's instructions, a piece of Xun Yu's polished piece was quickly transmitted to Luoyang: "Guangyang Marquis, Qingzhou Shepherd Liu Bei; Lu Zhi, a former scholar; The former Jiujiang was too guarded and retained; Dr. Zheng Xuan; Beihai Prime Minister Kong Rong and others, His Majesty: The country has suffered from Dong Zhuo, and the disaster of Li and Guo has made the loyal and good remnants, Chang'an is isolated, and he does not know the good luck. It is a person who is a pro-official Yin, a gentleman with knowledge, and he is not afraid, thinking that he is not a wise and heroic person, and he can overcome the trouble! Since the army came, in the third year of Yuzi, the state and county have turned to look at each other, but have not fought hard, and they have fought with each other, and they are even more confused. The ministers and others also consulted together to eliminate the national difficulties. Please edict the princes, so the prime minister is strong, the simple selection is strong, and the direct purpose is Chang'an. To quell the trouble, Zhongxing Han! His Majesty Fu Wei Mingjian. ”

Liu Bei also wrote several letters, so that Yuan Shao of Jizhou, Liu Yu of Youzhou, Gongsun Zhan, Cao Cao of Yanzhou, Liu Biao of Jingzhou and other places. Explain the benefits and disadvantages, persuade them and others to go to the court together, and persuade the Son of Heaven.

When the watch arrived in Luoyang, Shangshutai was transferred to the ban. When the Son of Heaven saw it, he was excited, and suddenly remembered that at the beginning of this year, he had left the veteran Zhu Jun right. At that time, he wanted to entrust Zhu Jun with military affairs, but who would have thought that Zhu Jun would guarantee Liu Bei to him. With a little hesitation in his heart, he asked the queen mother for advice, who would have thought that the queen mother would veto.

At that time, my mother's words were still in my ears: "Chang'an, but there is still a son of heaven, if Liu Bei kills the Dong thief and hostages your younger brother, how will you stay?" ”

Thinking of this heart-piercing sentence, the Son of Heaven couldn't help but have a liver ache......

He knew that Liu Bei had a heart, but he didn't dare to bet. You are the Son of Heaven, although the current lord of the Han Dynasty is not as beautiful and powerful as his father when he was emperor. But it was much better than the years before him. At the very least, he has no worries about food and clothing, and there are many beauties in the palace for him to enjoy. He couldn't believe that his imperial brother would be willing to give up all this after being the Son of Heaven in Chang'an for a long time. If he is his good imperial brother, after the Kwantung general enters Chang'an, he will be wooed in a big way......

The Son of Heaven didn't dare to think about it, the emperor's younger brother was smarter than him since he was a child, and he was deeply loved by the first emperor, and now he has been on the throne for several years, so naturally there is no shortage of people to support him. What can I do about it? Don't say that the princes will definitely support themselves when the time comes, who will believe this?

Since ancient times, the losers in the struggle for imperial power, without exception, have ended up extremely miserable. In addition to Donghai Gong Wang Qiang, but after all, he took the initiative to give up the position of the crown prince, because it was polite to go, but he was wantonly sealed by Emperor Guangwu. If you fail, I'm afraid that what you will leave for yourself is a three-foot white silk and a pot of dove wine?

The Son of Heaven hesitated, hesitated, and flinched. So, he pressed down the piece. But within a few days, the concerts of Jingzhou Mu Liu Biao, Youzhou Mu Liu Yu, Xuzhou Mu Tao Qian, and Yanzhou Mu Cao Cao flew like snowflakes. They all agree with Liu Bei's theory and want the imperial court to raise troops. The Son of Heaven couldn't suppress it if he wanted to. So I had to assemble the ministers to discuss their affairs.

Liu Bei was in Qingzhou, and he didn't know what it was like in his heart, and he looked forward to the edict of the Son of Heaven and ordered the princes to raise troops. There is a trace of hope that the Son of Heaven will give up.

Liu Bei's move was not grandstanding. He just wanted to use this move to prove to the people of the world that he was not the kind of prince who divided one side, but a Hanchen who was worried about the world. If the Son of Heaven had the courage to order the princes to raise troops to the west, Liu Bei also decided that he would do his best to go west. Suppress the thieves, crusade against the unsubordinate, make the four seas unified, and the Han Dynasty will prosper again. If the Son of Heaven is faced with a great opportunity, he is still indecisive and retreats. Then, the Son of Heaven will lose the hope of the world. And he can be regarded as the most righteous to the great Hanren. There will be no more worries.

In the Luoyang court, the ministers discussed the theory of raising troops, and the hearts of the people were one and the others were speechless. Some suggested raising troops, while others suggested waiting to see what happened. The old minister Zhu Jun advocated raising troops, perhaps because he was scared by the Son of Heaven at the beginning of the year, Zhu Jun personally stood up and said: "If Your Majesty has the heart of the west, the old minister is willing to be a marshal, and lead the elite people to collect Guanzhong and Dingliangzhou for Your Majesty, so that the country will be unified and the Han Dynasty will prosper!" ”

Zhu Jun recommended Liu Bei to the Son of Heaven before, but the Son of Heaven hesitated. Zhu Jun didn't know why this was happening, but what he could be sure of was that the Son of Heaven was jealous of Liu Bei. Then, in order to strengthen the heart of the Son of Heaven, he personally asked for battle regardless of his old age, and he wanted to go into battle. This heart of fist is really rare.

After the ministers of Luoyang at that time were all abducted by Dong Zhuo, in today's Luoyang, Zhu Jun is already one of the best old qualifications. As soon as he stood up, the others stopped talking. Anyway, whether it is sending troops or fighting, it is all the business of the princes. The Luoyang Imperial Court now has no soldiers, no food, what can it lose except for a large number of titles? What else to discuss in such a benevolent and costless matter, whatever the Son of Heaven decides.

When the Son of Heaven saw Zhu Jun stand up, he somehow remembered the incident at the beginning of this year, and suddenly felt upset, so he said: "Zhuqing, retreat, this matter will be discussed another day." Retreat. ”

Zhu Jun was stunned when he heard this, the soldiers were very fast, if they didn't settle down as soon as possible, if they delayed it a little longer, things would change again. So he wanted to speak again, but he saw that the Son of Heaven had already gotten up and turned to the apse.

Zhu Jun stomped his feet, after all, he was unwilling, so he chased back to the apse. On the way, he was stopped by a small yellow door, and said with a smile on his face: "Old General Zhu, Your Majesty has a word, I am not feeling well, and I ask the old general to return." ”

The emperor didn't see Zhu Jun, but went to see the Empress Dowager He. On the way, the emperor was also in turmoil, thinking about establishing a grand imperial cause, but he was afraid that he would take the risk and there would be nothing left. As he walked, he asked the attendants, "What do you think of this matter in the palace?" ”

The attendant eunuch next to him whispered: "Slaves and maids don't understand political affairs. However, the slave and maid feel that the soldiers and the country's major affairs are also better. There is no news from Chang'an, who knows what has become of it. If His Majesty here's decree, there will be no chaos over there. When the time comes, the country's money will be wasted, and there will be no way to advance or retreat, so it will be ......" peeked at the emperor's face. He immediately pleaded guilty: "The slave and maid are talking nonsense, and I ask Your Majesty to forgive me." ”

The Son of Heaven waved his hand and said, "That's it, I asked you what you are guilty of." Let's lead the way. ”

Seeing the Queen Mother, the Queen Mother sneered and said, "Emperor, why did Liu Bei and Zhu Jun never forget to march into Chang'an?" Are you worried about the world, or are you worried about your good imperial brother in Chang'an? ”

This is a heart-wrenching statement, and the Son of Heaven doesn't want to wronged others, so he defended: "Queen Mother, there are many responders among the princes of the world. ”

Empress Dowager He snorted and said, "Before Liu Bei went to the book, did any princes talk about this matter?" Why didn't Yizhou Liu Yan participate in this matter? What is the history of Yangzhou? Emperor, have you thought about it? The army went west and succeeded, and the people of the world remembered the merits of Liu Bei and others. If you fail, you will blame the Son of Heaven again. What's more, the imperial brother who really succeeded in rescuing you, when the princes were all gone, and Luoyang was empty. If something happens, where will my mother and son be placed? ”

The Son of Heaven's face was red and white for a while, and the Empress Dowager He was kind and seductive: "This matter of my heavenly family, whether it is the Eastern Emperor or the Western Emperor, it is the first emperor, your father's blood and blood." No matter what, this world is still the world of the Han Dynasty! But have you ever thought about what will happen if you lose this position as the Son of Heaven? ”

The Son of Heaven was silent.

The Queen Mother said again: "Compare your heart to your heart, let your good imperial brother give up the throne, do you think he is willing?" Your royal brother's biological mother, when he was executed by the mourning family, he didn't resent or hate in his heart? ”

The Son of Heaven's heart was churning, asking the emperor's younger brother to give up the throne, how could he agree? If you were yourself, you would never have been able to say yes! As the queen mother said, there is a big risk in this matter, it is better to maintain the status quo, at least, the safety of yourself and the queen mother is guaranteed. Perhaps, the anti-soldiers in Liangzhou were thieves, and they accidentally gave the emperor's brother to ...... The Son of Heaven thought evil in his heart.
