"If the scholars are all that, Confucianism does not have to come to the lord. However, the lord still does not know the continuous methods of the scholars. Li Ru is a smart person and also has a deep understanding of human nature, so he knows what to say at this time: "I remember that when Confucianism learned about the conspiracy of the scholars, he couldn't sleep all night and was drenched in cold sweat. After thinking hard for three days, I came up with the means to move the capital......"

"Yes, the plan to move the capital is probably the most clever strategy in the doctor's life. The bottom of the kettle was drawn, and the foundation of the unity of the scholars was removed in one fell swoop. So that Dong Zhuo's danger is self-relieved......" Ma Chao closed his eyes and replied, in history, later generations proposed Li Ru's plan to move the capital, both positive and negative, but there is no doubt that in the early Han Dynasty, only Li Ru's relocation of the capital and Wen and chaos were two things, which can be regarded as creating a precedent for strategists to chaos in the world.

"However, the lord didn't know that before moving the capital, it was the period of closest cooperation between Dong Zhuo and the scholars, and even, at that time, Confucianism almost thought that his lifelong ambition was promising!" When he said this, Ma Chao saw with his own eyes that Li Ru showed that kind of heart-wrenching and resentful emotion, and it was also at this moment that Ma Chao felt that Li Ru was an ambitious strategist, not a cold poisonous snake.

After the abolition of the Young Emperor, Dong Zhuo knew that the warriors he brought from Liangzhou would not be able to handle the government. They are all martial artists, they don't know a single big word, and they are all good at killing people and setting fires, but they deal with paperwork and cases every day, and they will not be right on the horse's lips when dealing with all kinds of cumbersome government affairs. After relieving his nerves, Li Ru began to tell the story of Dong Zhuo and the good times of the scholars.

Ma Chao is quite touched by this: Politics is a very technical profession, and martial artists are not that piece of material at all! Although it is very easy to get the political power, it is very difficult to run it, which is why he tried to kidnap celebrities and forcibly retain Jia Xu and Fu Xun in the first place. From this point of view, Dong Zhuo and Ma Chao have a common understanding on this point.

At that time, Dong Zhuo even wishfully planned to make a living for the world. Revive the Han Dynasty. As a result, Dong Zhuo decided to contact the scholars......" Speaking of this, a trace of compassion flashed in Li Ru's eyes. It was a kind of unwillingness, an emotion that did not want to look back.

"Dong Zhuo first wanted to win over the famous young man Yuan Shao. After all, the Yuan family is the leader of the scholars, and if he can be won over, he is not afraid that other scholars will not help, so Dong Zhuo discussed his plan of "abolishing the young emperor and establishing Chen Liuwang" with Yuan Shao, hoping to seek Yuan Shao's consent, but he did not want to be categorically rejected by Yuan Shao; Even if Dong Zhuo already knew his wishes. Helpless and forced to use force, this kid just didn't buy it, and finally hung the big seal on the city gate and walked away. fled to Jizhou. ”

Ma Chao knows about this. This also shows the difference between Dong Zhuo, a warrior and a scholar: a warrior belongs to a straightforward and quick-talking Shuangli person. And the scholars are full of eyes and turn their faces to deny people...... Of course, it can't be generalized, it can only be said that Dong Zhuo was too stupid and naïve at that time.

Dong Zhuo deigned to cooperate with the scholars for the first time, and it ended with a hot face and a cold buttocks. Thinking that there was a gap between himself and the scholars after all, it was difficult to achieve the goal of being a capable minister, so he had no choice but to abolish the establishment with an iron and bloody hand and save his life first. At this time, Yuan Kui, the absolute leader of the scholars at that time, Yuan Shao's uncle, and the auxiliary minister of the dynasty, actually acquiesced to his suggestion. Then. Confucianism hadn't figured out the reason, thinking that the scholars also wanted to make profits for the common people, so after the abolition, he advised Dong Zhuo to contact and negotiate with the scholars again, and persuaded him with good words......"

Ma Chao naturally listened to these words and believed half of them. He didn't believe it when he was killed, Dong Zhuo would go to the Shiren Group so lowly as Li Ru said. After all, Dong Zhuo's iron-blooded personality determines that Dong Zhuo can't perform any 'Corporal Lixian, Duke Zhou' drama. Therefore, Ma Chao looked at Li Ru with a very playful look, and the meaning was self-evident.

Li Ru's slightly dark old face couldn't help but be a little red, and finally, under Ma Chao's continuous offensive, he surrendered: "Lord, Confucianism did advise like this at that time, but that Dong Zhuo ...... Ay! just couldn't erase that face, so that after the abolition of the young emperor, Dong Zhuo and the scholars were temporarily in a peaceful situation. ”

At this moment, the scholars Zhou Bi and Wu Qiong actually took the initiative to come. Zhou Yu was a scholar at the time, and Wu Qiong was a captain at the city gate, and the official position was not very big, but this was enough to make Dong Zhuo happy - after all, there were scholars who took the initiative to cooperate with him! The two persuaded Dong Zhuo to innovate politics and use the world's celebrities to gain public expectations, which was in the hands of Lord Dong Zhuo, and they hit it off, so Dong Zhuo entrusted them to execute, and the two then recommended Shangshu Zheng Tai and Changshi He Hao to participate, and Dong Zhuo agreed without thinking about it.

The four of them then began to work intensively, and under their recommendation, Xun Shuang, Chen Ji, Han Rong and other celebrities were recruited into the court. Xun Shuang was appointed as Sikong, Chen Ji was the general of the five senses, and Han Rong was the great Honglu. Later, Dong Zhuo recruited scholars Cai Yong, Huang Wan and Yang Biao, with Cai Yong as the attendant, Huang Wan as the Situ, and Yang Biao as the Sikong. ”

Although Ma Chao had never seen those people in Li Ru's mouth, their fame was in full swing at that time: Xun Shuang was Xun Yu's uncle, a prominent family in Yingchuan County, and abandoned his official position in his early years to live in seclusion on the shore of the Han River. Cai Yong is Cai Wenji's father, erudite and talented, needless to say. Huang Wan is the grandson of the former Situ Huang Qiong, and he is a famous family. Yang Biao is even more amazing, since the time of his great-grandfather, the Yang family has a "four worlds and four dukes", which is comparable to the "four worlds and five dukes" of Yuan Shao, and is the two major political families of the Eastern Han Dynasty.

It is no exaggeration to say that if it is really as Li Ru said, then above the court, it is simply a matter of pennies and celebrities in high positions for a while, and the court atmosphere is new. In fact, Ma Chao carefully recalled that when Dong Zhuo brutally killed soldiers in the later period, he did have the shadow of these people. During the reign of Emperor Ling, these people lived in seclusion and criticized the government at that time with their speeches. It can be inferred from this that Dong Zhuo really realized a prosperous and clear court at that time!

At that time, Dong Zhuo was ecstatic. The mood of cooperating with the scholars can be described as impatient and heart-to-heart. For example, Cai Yong was recruited as an official, and the old boy couldn't come because of his illness, Dong Zhuo was quite unhappy, so he threatened with force, Cai Yong was afraid, so he had to take office. Naturally, Dong Zhuo did not treat him badly, and was promoted to official status with him three times in three days. Another example is that he recruited Xun Shuang as an official, although Xun Shuang was also afraid of taking office, but Dong Zhuo named him Guangluxun, one of the nine kings, on his way to the imperial court, and on the third day after his arrival, he was promoted to one of the three princes. ”

During this period, Dong Zhuo expressed his sincerity in cooperating with the scholars, and also realized the two long-standing wishes of the scholars: first, after all the eunuchs were killed, the sons of the ministers were used as Lang officials to make up for the lack of eunuchs and serve in the palace. The second is to lead the three ministers and other ministers to write a letter, requesting that the cases of Chen Fan, Dou Wu and the party members be retried, that all titles be restored, that envoys be sent to mourn their graves, and that their descendants be promoted to officials. ”

Ma Chao seems to have seen these two things on the Internet, and he has a vague impression: the first thing is that in 168 of the Eastern Han Dynasty, when the leaders of the scholars Dou Wu and Chen Fan were plotting to punish the eunuchs, the scholars longed for the goal, but due to Dou Wu's failure, it became a bubble; When Yuan Shao persuaded He Jin to plot to punish the eunuchs in the first year, he once again put forward such an idea, but because He Jin was killed, it was not realized. And after twenty-one years, it was realized by the martial artist Dong Zhuo, I don't know how Yuan Shao felt when he heard the news. And rehabilitating the wronged Dou Wu, Chen Fan, and the imprisoned party members, which is also the long-term goal of the scholars, has now been achieved by Dong Zhuo.

What a great irony of history!

However, these two things have little impact on Ma Chao, he just listens. can only do this, Dong Zhuo can be regarded as really heartbroken.

And after hearing this, Ma Chao was actually shocked inexplicably and speechless in his heart: to do this, this Dong Zhuo, where is the evil thief who has brought disaster to the country and the people, it is even worse than Yi Yin of the Zhou Dynasty!

Dong Zhuo of the martial arts class and the fame of the scholars are so close to each other, how can it be a good period as Li Ru said? It's not an exaggeration to say it's a honeymoon period!

The martial artist Dong Zhuo and the scholar class are already like glue, so why did they later exchange for the Kwantung heroes to raise troops to fight against Dong? Could it be that I don't know enough about those scholars? Can their shamelessness be even more lowly, like the Chinese men's football team, completely breaking their psychological bottom line?
