"The general knows, the abolition of the young emperor two years ago?" Li Ru opened his mouth and actually went back to two years ago.

And Ma Chao was a little confused, Dong Zhuo entered Beijing to abolish the establishment of the Young Emperor, not to mention that Ma Chao knew, even in the next two thousand years, some people knew: What did Li Ru do about this for no reason? Could it be that at that time, Dong Zhuo and the scholars had already begun a good period?

Thinking of this, Ma Chao suddenly smiled bitterly: This can't be done at all, it has long been recorded in history that Dong Zhuo's move to abolish the young emperor caused the wrath of hundreds of officials. even led to the first bullet of the original army against Dong Zhuo and Lu Bu killing his father......

Yes, Li Ru nodded silently at this time!

This silent move couldn't help but make Ma Chao serious: it can be seen that Li Ru is not talking about it!

After taking a sip of tea slowly and delaying the shock in his heart, Ma Chao asked: "As the world said, Dong Zhuo was arbitrary and had the intention of usurping rebellion, so he did the act of abolition. However, Chao Zai Fufeng also analyzed Dong Zhuo's abolition of the Young Emperor, but he felt that Dong Zhuo had just entered Luoyang and was more alert. Later, he felt that power was not something he could play with at all, so he followed Yi Yin's ancient system and learned from it...... Could it be that among them, there are also scholars? "Historically, there has long been a clear explanation for Dong Zhuo's move. Ma Chao really couldn't imagine that those loyal scholars could participate in it?

After listening to Ma Chao's words, Li Ru seemed to be a little surprised, and couldn't help but ask Ma Chao: "Dare to ask the lord why he said that Dong Zhuo abolished the young emperor is the ...... Imitate the ancient system and learn from it? ”

Since he talked about this, Ma Chao also felt that he really should have a good chat with this old poisonous snake. After sorting out the analyses of later generations and sorting out some thoughts, he said: "If Dong Zhuo did not abolish the young emperor at that time, then according to the practice of the Han Dynasty, the emperor would be regent by the Empress Dowager when he was young, and the power to issue edicts would be in the hands of Empress Dowager He. Dong Zhuo is not good at interfering. Although the brothers He Jin and He Miao died, their henchmen were still there, so the He family's power was still very strong at that time. These will become a major obstacle to Dong Zhuo's dictatorship. And the abolition of the young emperor and the empress dowager will easily disintegrate and cut off the He power. This is one of them. ”

Li Ru nodded silently, it seems that the analysis of this later generation is indeed in line with the situation at that time.

"Second, Dong Zhuo wants to be a martial artist for himself... Authoritarian search for acceptable grounds. The story of the Han family is either the emperor's personal government, or the auxiliary government of the minister, or the dictatorship of foreign relatives. Dong Zhuo is not any of the three. What the doctor said was good, but fundamentally speaking, he was just a local martial artist like a kid. Now I want to arbitrarily dictate the government. What should I do if people in the world are not convinced? ”

With this question, Ma Chao suddenly felt a little funny, pursed his lips, and continued: "Dong Zhuo's approach. It was from the Empress Dowager Dong, after Emperor Xian's mother was killed by the Empress Dowager He, Emperor Xian was raised by Emperor Ling's wife, Empress Dowager Dong. Dong Zhuo and Empress Dowager Dong have the friendship of the same clan, if the emperor is the emperor, then Dong Zhuo is a relative. There is a rationale for this. ”

These words are actually very disrespectful to the royal family. But Li Ru didn't even frown, from this point of view, Li Ru and Ma Chao are all the way, they are both people who regard the Han as nothing, and even infer that they are people who fundamentally despise imperial power.

Of course, Ma Chao's contempt is because he knows more advanced systems. Li Ru's contempt can be determined by the limitations of history, and the character leads to the thought to determine their pride.

"Dong Zhuo is a relative, and it is justified for him to be in power. What's more advantageous is that after the death of Emperor Ling, the He family and the Dong family fought for power, and He Jin eliminated the Dong family with the help of the eunuchs and killed the Empress Dowager Dong. In this way, Dong Zhuo will not be constrained by the Empress Dowager Dong when he is in power. Such a good thing is simply the same as deliberately arranged by God, how could Dong Zhuo miss it? ”

At this point, Li Ru bowed deeply to Ma Chao: "The lord has a high view, and he sees through the essence on the surface, which really opens Confucian's eyes." ”

"Winning awards and awards, it's just an afterthought...... It's just that in hindsight, I think it should be so. I wonder what the doctor thinks? After receiving Li Ru's praise, Ma Chao couldn't help but feel a little fluttering, and almost said the words 'hindsight'. However, it can also be seen from this that the speculation of later generations about Dong Zhuo's abolition of the young emperor is at least very correct.

"The general doesn't know that he didn't think about what Dong Zhuo did at the beginning, but he didn't think about it so much, but just to protect himself......"

Ma Chao was stunned for a moment, and felt that he had overlooked something: No, it was Li Ru in front of him who persuaded Dong Zhuo to do this! Could it be that Dong Zhuo's abolition of the Young Emperor was not for the purpose of dictatorship at all?

"The lord didn't know that Dong Zhuo was outnumbered at that time, and it was difficult to establish his authority. There are even more scholars, hundreds of officials, and princes, if they don't come up with this poisonous strategy, they will die for a long time......" Li Ruyou's words made Ma Chao a little incredulous.

In Ma Chao's impression, Dong Zhuo has always controlled the authority of the Han Court, and finally provoked the anger of the heavens, so he was assassinated by the Chang'an scholars and killed Dong Zhuo. Even, some people in later generations said that Dong Zhuo was actually a very cunning fat man, and through this trick, Dong Zhuo also saw what the ministers in the court meant. Like a flying stone hitting the water, whoever convinces himself and who disobeys himself, he will try it out as soon as he tries it. The next round of political struggle will then continue to be launched......

Don't? Is the fog of history really too thick, and the world's intrigues and inferences can't stand up at all? Dong Zhuo abolished the Young Emperor, was he really just forced to survive?

"Can't! Dong Zhuo's abolition of the Young Emperor was also a major event that caused a sensation in the society. As everyone knows, this incident provoked a strong backlash from the sergeants of the DPRK, and even there were many people who used blood to show their will! Ma Chao said deliberately, because he knew that the only person who could say the most accurate answer was Li Ru in front of him.

After all, the matter of abolishing the emperor is a matter of prudence in all dynasties. Dong Zhuo was only the identity of a border assassin at that time, and for now, he is probably a provincial governor or secretary of the provincial party committee. Dong Zhuo's name is not right, although he can rely on his own strength to play Laipi, but he is shocked and dares to do great things, how can he not provoke the civil and military hostility of the Manchu Dynasty?

"The lord is too naïve!" Li Ru actually smiled, and in his smile, a trace of compassion flashed: "And this is what Confucianism wants to talk to the lord and hear!" Those scholars are not only able to read the books of sages and cultivate morality, they play with power, they are more ruthless than eunuchs, and more ruthless than us warriors!

"When Dong Zhuo abolished the young emperor, the Manchu scholars and doctors only opposed Lu Zhi, the Shangshu who was deeply poisoned by the idea of loyalty, and the others were silent. What's more, after Dong Zhuo informed Yuan Kui, the then auxiliary minister, of the resolution to abolish the Young Emperor, Yuan Kui actually replied 'agreed'! ”

"How...... How can it? This news is a bit groundbreaking, even if Ma Chao is mentally prepared, he can't accept it: "No, isn't there still Ding Yuan's rebellion against Dong Zhuo......"

"Yes, there was indeed Ding Yuan's opposition at that time. It's just Ding Yuan Piffle, how can he be regarded as a scholar? Li Ru snorted with disdain, and was very disdainful of what Ding Yuan's husband did.

And Ma Chao was really a little confused at this time, because of the historical impression he knew. Ding Yuan was a loyal minister with a strong personality, and he hated Dong Zhuo, a chaotic minister and thief, so he besieged Luoyang against Dong Zhuo's soldiers...... From Li Ru's tone, it seems that it is not like that at all!

"The doctor's words are also reasonable, but even if Na Ding Yuan is only a martial artist, but from this, it can be seen that the civil and military of the Manchu Dynasty are very dissatisfied with the abolition of the Taishi......

"The lord misunderstood, the meaning of Confucianism is that only the scholar Lu Zhi was opposed at that time, and as for the martial artists who were deeply loyal to the monarch, such as Huangfu Song and Zhu Jun, they were also opposed. However, these people were not scholars who controlled the core politics of the Han Dynasty. So, did the lord understand? After Li Ru explained this, he was still unwilling to say: "As for the jumping clown Ding Yuan, he is just a traitor, trying to fish in troubled waters and gain some fame." ”

This?

This......

This fact immediately made Ma Chao like a thunderbolt. Suddenly, he subverted his inherent understanding: among those scholars who supported the power system of the Han Dynasty, only Lu Zhi, who upheld the righteousness, opposed it, and all the other officials remained silent? In this way, isn't it inferred that the scholar group did not agree with the imperial power of the Eastern Han Dynasty at all?

The Liu family, sitting on this part, is really a matter of time before it ends......

And Ding Yuan?

Ma Chao suddenly flashed an ability in his mind: at that time, Dong Zhuo mentioned the matter of abolishing the emperor, and Ding Yuan was so righteous and awe-inspiring, so Ding Yuan raised troops to besiege Luoyang, which naturally made future generations think that Ding Yuan wanted to get rid of the traitor. In reality, however, this should be a clever preconceived delusion!

Dong Zhuo's abolition of Emperor Dong was only verbal at that time, and not many people knew about it. It is even said that Dong Zhuo is secretly showing an unspeakable tacit understanding with those scholars, and he has not yet put it into action. At this time, Ding Yuan led soldiers and horses to surround Luoyang, the capital division...... At that time, for example, in the eyes of the ancients such as Li Ru, no matter what you say, it was definitely Ding Yuan's blatant rebellion! And Dong Zhuo led the troops to fight with Ding Yuan, but he represented the loyal side.

It can be further inferred from this that when Lu Bu betrayed Dong Zhuo, it seems that it was not at all what later generations said, he killed his father to seek glory, but he really acted in accordance with the edict and was loyal to the man? !

Ma Chao frowned, after entering Chang'an, he felt for the first time: There are too many shady scenes in this history. All that is left to posterity does not seem to be the original appearance at all......
