After many gatherings with Taiwei Dong Zhuo and Taifu Yuan Kui, Situ Huangwan, Sikong Yang Biao, Shang Shuling Ding Gong and others, they decided to conform to the will of heaven, correct the politics of Huan and Ling, and promote the world's celebrities to collect public expectations and revitalize the Tianwei of the Han Dynasty. ∮ Yan Moxuan∮ no advertisements∮ the four mansions of the central and central courts, and Shangshutai quickly returned to normal with the efforts of many important ministers, and the inner and outer courts of the Han Dynasty began to operate efficiently. In particular, under the personal care of Yuan Kui, Dong Zhuo, Ding Gong and others, the Dasi Nongfu never stopped the supply of food and salary to the expeditionary army from beginning to end. Yuan Peng, the secretary of the Great Department of Nongqing, has been staying in the government to handle official business, and has not gone home to rest for more than a month.

During this period, many of the celebrities recruited by Taiwei Dong Zhuo by bus came to the capital.

He Hao was the first to arrive in Beijing. Dong Zhuo was very happy and set up a banquet to entertain him. He knew that if Bai Ji wanted to gain a foothold in Luoyang and gradually control power, he must have the support of scholars, and He Hao was the first person he wanted to woo. He Hao is a world-famous party member and celebrity, who once gave advice to the general and was the general's right-hand man. Moreover, in the past few years, He Hao has gone to Xiliang several times to discuss important matters with him, and he can be regarded as a very familiar friend. Dong Zhuo knew that He Hao looked down on him, he was a small official in the past, and he couldn't stammer He Hao if he wanted to, he was very disappointed, so he could only scold in his heart. But now that the official is big and in power, He Hao is still like this, his eyes are full of disdain, and his expression seems to tell himself that you are a villain. Dong Zhuo is not angry now, he is a captain, and he is not in the mood to be idle with such a life. As long as you come to enlist as an official, you will be my subordinate, and you can command whatever I want. You are a celebrity and a party member, so what, you don't want to listen to me. Dong Zhuo looked at He Hao's eyes as if he saw his prey, happy, comfortable, and comfortable.

Dong Zhuo realized the great power of the scholars from the defeat of the eunuchs and the generals. In the past, when the eunuch controlled the authority, he fought-for-tat with the scholars, and when the general was in charge, he looked like the scholars, and wanted to use the co-optation and fight and exclude, but they all failed to defeat the scholars and died. This power of scholars is not rewarding and powerful, it directly determines the rise and fall of the Great Han Kingdom, and no one can control it, but can only use and coexist. So far, the forces that have fought it have disappeared. In the past, Li Ru had persuaded Dong Zhuo to rely on the clan of the gate lord wholeheartedly, but Dong Zhuo disagreed, and even because of his status as a martial artist, he was still a little resistant, he was not very willing, and he did not expect that the power of the scholars would be so strong. In his opinion, among the several powers in the court, the scholars were the weakest. Of course, at that time, the scholars were very disgusted with Dong Zhuo's two-faced and three-faced, even if Dong Zhuo wanted to throw himself under Yuan Valve, Yuan Kui ignored it. Now that the situation in Luoyang has changed abruptly, Dong Zhuo suddenly entered the court as the third duke, holding heavy troops and authority, which made him know and understand many things that he did not know and did not understand in the past within a few days. It turns out that the power of scholars is the power that determines the rise and fall of the Han Dynasty.

Dong Zhuo learned from the past, and after taking full control of the army, he began to carefully handle the relationship with the scholars. He never arrogantly thought that he could control the scholars and get the approval of the scholars. At that time, the eunuch was powerful, and he failed to control the scholars, but fought with the scholars, and Liangzhou Sanming's good reputation and merits were not recognized by the scholars, but got a few not very good comments. Dong Zhuo is very sober, he doesn't want to follow in the footsteps of the eunuchs and generals, and the scholars turn against each other and end up in ashes, nor do he want to repeat the mistakes of Liangzhou Sanming and end up with nothing and no good. Dong Zhuo wanted to take advantage of today's once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to enter the court as an upright warrior, and then Corporal Lixian was humble and forbearing, and worked hand in hand with the scholars to revitalize the Han Dynasty and create a great cause, so as to win a reputation for himself and make himself famous in history like Yi Yin and Huo Guang.

In Dong Zhuo's view, he is neither a eunuch nor a relative, but a warrior who defended the border for the Han Dynasty, and in many respects the ideas and goals of the warriors and scholars are the same, it stands to reason that the two sides should be very easy to communicate and cooperate. Just like the deposed young emperor this time and forced the queen mother to return to power, isn't it easy for the two sides to join forces? In the early days of the founding of this dynasty, the warriors and scholars were in charge of the court together, and the two sides worked together and united sincerely, and restored the national strength of the Great Han Kingdom in just a few decades, and Dong Zhuo believed that he and Yuan Kui and other scholars could do it today.

In order to achieve his goal, Dong Zhuo made up his mind to keep He Hao by his side. This can be regarded as a wish fulfillment. In the past, I wanted to tie up this party member, but today I have the opportunity to keep this party member by my side and call it around, and it's beautiful to think about. If He Hao can agree to his invitation and enter the mansion as He Hao as a historian, then in the future, his Taiwei Mansion will not worry about the arrival of celebrities and scholars.

At the banquet, Dong Zhuo said half-truthfully: "Mr. has made great efforts to quell the Luoyang Rebellion this time, and without Mr. 's help, it would not be possible to have today's situation in Luoyang?" But why didn't the gentleman say goodbye after the first emperor ascended the throne? Are you worried that my Xiliang soldiers will be arrogant and lawless, which will cause chaos and harm to the country? Could it be that in the eyes of my husband, my Dahan Sheji is already terminally ill and incurable? He Hao smiled and said: "My Han Dynasty has gone through this turmoil, and the signs of rejuvenation have appeared, so why do you say that you are terminally ill?" The reason why I didn't say goodbye was because the eunuch had been removed, and my life's great wish was fulfilled, and I didn't care about political affairs. Dong Zhuo scolded a few words, and then asked him if he was willing to succumb to the post of Taiwei Mansion Governor. Although the rank of Changshi is not high, he is the head of a government, and is regarded as "Bizuo Santai, helping to become Dingwei", and his power is very large, and it is generally impossible for him to hold this position if he is not a cronie. He Hao immediately resigned, He Hao said that Liu Ai and Li Ru are both cronies who have followed the adults for many years, and have made great contributions to the adults' defense of the border fortress to quell the rebellion and govern the western Xinjiang. Dong Zhuo said that Liu Ai had been appointed as the lieutenant marquis of the Northern Army, and Li Ru was now the commander of Lang, and they were both reused by the imperial court. At present, there is no one in charge of the daily affairs of the Taiwei Mansion, so how about asking Bo to give in? He Hao no longer shirked and leaned over to answer the order.

Soon, Zheng Tai, Chen Ji, and Han Rong came to Beijing one after another. Zheng Tai was worshipped as a scholar. Chen Ji was worshiped as a lieutenant general. (Chen Ji is the son of Chen Yu, who is a well-known Confucian in China and is respected by the world for his fame and virtue.) Han Rong was worshiped by Da Hongluqing. Shuoru such as Zheng Xuan, Shen Tufan, and Wang Qian simply ignored the expedition. In the past, when the general He Jin conquered, Zheng Xuan also came to Beijing to live in the general's mansion for a day, Shen Tufan stayed for a few days and left, and Wang Qian also served as the long history for a period of time. But this time, their attitude towards the conquest of Taiwei Dong Zhuo was much worse. Only Yingchuan Xun Shuang was more polite to Dong Zhuo, and wrote a special reply, saying that he was seriously ill and couldn't get rid of it, and he was so sorry.

At the end of September, Taiwei Dong Zhuo summoned Taifu Yuan Kui, Situ Huangwan, and Sikong Yang Biao from He Hao's plan, and proposed to clear the grievances of the former Taifu Chen Fan, the general Dou Wu, and the party members who died in the two party disasters.

Twenty-one years ago, the Beigong Mutiny launched by Taifu Chen Fan and the general Dou Wu ended in failure, ** Eunuch took the opportunity to kill hundreds of people, Chen Fan and Dou Wu's relatives and protégés almost all survived, and the party and their protégés died because of the party and even more. He Hao said that if Lord Taiwei can use the authority in his hands to eradicate the predecessors who died in order to eradicate the eunuch Kuangzheng Han, he will win the hearts of the world's soldiers.

Dong Zhuo's proposal was responded to by Yuan Kui and the three of them, and the next day, the four of them took the Gong to the Jiade Hall to write a book, crying and playing the edict of the Son of Heaven to the world, and to avenge the grievances of the former Taifu Chen Fan, the general Dou Wu and the party members of the world. (A zigzag is a torture instrument, a cushion used in capital punishment of beheading and execution.) The young Son of Heaven was shocked and hurriedly waved his hand in agreement. The Son of Heaven acted in accordance with the performance of Taifu Yuan Kui and the Three Princes, and ordered the Tingwei Mansion to retry the cases of Chen Fan and Dou Wu. Chen Fan and Dou Wu restored their titles and sent their ministers to Beibi Mountain to mourn their graves and promote their descendants to officials. The party members who died unjustly in the two party disasters were also rehabilitated, and the exiled relatives immediately returned to their hometowns and received heavy pensions.

Chen Yi, the son of Taifu Chen Fan, has been hiding in Dazhitang since the failure of the Jizhou rebellion, and this time he got the edict of Zhaoxue Chen Fan, the son of heaven, and hurriedly returned to Luoyang, where he had been absent for 21 years, to pay tribute to his relatives in Beibi Mountain. After hearing the news, Dong Zhuo personally rushed to Beibi Mountain and took Chen Yi to the capital. Dong Zhuo immediately played the Son of Heaven and proposed that Chen Yi inherit the title, worship Chen Yi as the Taizhong doctor, and return his family's mansion. The Son of Heaven played on time, and showed mercy to Chen Yi and rewarded him with a lot of money.

This incident immediately caused a sensation in the government and the opposition, and the world was shocked, and the scholars cheered and rushed to tell each other. The sky of Dahan suddenly lit up, and the hope of Dahan's revitalization spread all over the country in an instant.

The students of Taixue gathered outside the palace to celebrate the final victory of the party, the Son of Heaven, Yuan Kui, Dong Zhuo and the ministers accepted the congratulatory watches of the students, and Dong Zhuo, who was standing beside the Son of Heaven, was full of smiles and ambitions.

Taiwei Mansion.

Tai Lieutenant Dong Zhuo summoned Shi Liwei, the head of the Cheqi General's Mansion.

During this time, Li Wei was active frequently in Beijing, and the places he ran the most were Dasi Nongfu, Shaofu, Taixue and Luoyang granaries and arsenals. He went in and out of these places, urging money, food, and armaments, and also collected a lot of history for the Cheqi General's Mansion and the counties of Northern Xinjiang. Yuan Peng has complained more than once in the court, and the one he is most afraid of seeing now is Li Wei. The Dasi Nong Mansion is not the treasury of the Northern Xinjiang and the expeditionary army, it is the treasury of the Great Han State, and it has to deliver money and materials for all aspects of the state affairs of the Great Han State.

At present, there are six Shangqing in the Han State: Taifu, Taiwei, Situ, Sikong, Da Sima and Che Cavalry General. The Taiwei Mansion of the four prefectures in Beijing is the most powerful, and outside the capital is the Cheqi General's Mansion, which is overwhelmingly powerful. Li Wei is the long history of the Cheqi General's Mansion at a young age, and in the past few years, he has experienced great wars with Li Hong, and he has long been famous in the Han Kingdom. One is because of Li Wei's intelligence, and the other is because of his special identity, he is talking now as Li Hong is talking, and his decision is Li Hong's decision.

After the expedition, Li Wei, the general of the chariot and cavalry, was fully responsible for all the affairs of the general's palace. Although Zhao Qi and Zhu Mu each undertook specific affairs such as the garrison of Tuntian, the main affairs of northern Xinjiang such as major policies, salt and iron, and taxes, and the logistics of the expeditionary army were all in charge of Li Wei. The magnitude of its authority has far exceeded the long history of the other five prefectures. Former Taiwei Ma Riyan once met him in Taixue, and praised him with a smile and said, Zhong Yuan, if you stomp your feet now, Luoyang will also tremble. Zhu Jun, the master craftsman, warned him several times not to cause trouble when he was young and frivolous, especially disgusted by the fact that he went out with many iron cavalry guards to show off in public.

Dong Zhuo had already completed the reorganization of the army and rebuilt the eight battalions of the Northern Army with 100,000 soldiers, so he urged Li Wei to withdraw from Hangu Pass with 20,000 Hedong soldiers. He even sent Niu Fu to Hangu Pass with the Tiger Ben Battalion. But Li Wei refused to withdraw under the pretext of Luoyang's political instability. Dong Zhuo understood what Li Wei meant, and Li Wei ran all the way to the camp of the Northern Army and promised to help Dong Zhuo with conditions. Li Wei asked Dong Zhuo to immediately allocate two months' worth of food, salary, and ordnance to the expeditionary army in advance, and 2 billion yuan to the northern Xinjiang for disaster relief. Of course, Dong Zhuo accepted this small request. But after he stabilized Luoyang, he found the great Sinong Yuan Peng and asked, only to know that there was not much money in the treasury.

Yuan said that since May, money in the treasury has flowed out like flowing water. First of all, the great funeral and burial of the first emperor after returning to heaven, the burial of the Empress Dowager Dong, the enthronement ceremony of the young emperor, and then the general of the chariot and cavalry went south, and took 15 billion yuan from Wanjintang and the treasury at one time. After the expedition of the general of the chariot cavalry, in addition to the normal monthly supply of the army's food, the imperial court also allocated three months' rations in advance according to the requirements of the general of the chariot and cavalry. In August, first the young emperor got married, and then the general allocated food and salary to Lord Taiwei and the rest of the seven routes into Beijing several times. This month, the new Son of Heaven enthroned the throne, the palace was repaired, and the Northern Army was rectified.

Yuan Peng said bitterly: "Lord Taiwei, now the Wanjin Hall is empty, and the money that Empress Dowager Dong hid in Yongle Palace has also run out. The treasury was already running out of the hands of the generals. If it weren't for the confiscation of the property of the He clan such as the Empress Dowager He and the general, and the confiscation of the family wealth of a group of ** eunuchs, Xu Xiang, Fan Ling and other ** people, today's treasury would not even be able to take out three billion dollars. ”

Dong Zhuo was at a loss. He couldn't fulfill his promise to Li Wei, so he had to put it off again and again, hoping to delay it until October. After the autumn harvest in October, the counties and counties have to pay taxes, and the state treasury will have enough money and food.

After Dong Zhuo waited for Li Wei to sit down, he asked with a smile: "Zhong Yuan, October is coming, and the grain in Tuntian District, Hedong is about to be harvested." When do you plan to leave Beijing? ”

Li Wei said: "My lord, the Tuntian soldiers at Fengling and Maojin Ferry are returning to Tuntian District, and the 20,000 soldiers at Hangu Pass are ...... because they have not yet been paid this month."

Li Wei didn't continue, but Dong Zhuo knew that what he wanted was not a month's salary for the 20,000 Tuntian soldiers, but two months' salary he promised to the expeditionary army in the Northern Army camp and money and food to help the victims of the disaster in Northern Xinjiang. Dong Zhuo's smile gradually narrowed, and he said in a cold voice: "Lord Li, it is a fact that the treasury has no money now. In my opinion, you should withdraw the army to Hedong first, and I will transfer this food and salary to you after November. As for the two months' rations for the expeditionary army and the money and food for the relief of the victims in northern Xinjiang, I think it will be forgotten. When things get better next year, I'll try to compensate you a little bit. ”

Li Wei obviously didn't expect Dong Zhuo to regret it in person, he was stunned for a moment and didn't speak.

Dong Zhuo continued: "There are 120,000 troops in the north and south of Gyeonggi, and the military salary of these 120,000 soldiers in one month is 200 million yuan, and if you add the food, clothing and weapons of these 120,000 people, it will cost at least 400 million yuan a month. General Huangfu of Chang'an had 20,000 northern troops, and they also asked for money. The food and ordnance of more than 100,000 soldiers of the expeditionary army and the food and salary of millions of people, they even asked for money. The Dasi Nongfu calculated that the treasury would have to come up with at least 1.5 billion money this month to maintain the needs of these three armies, but do you know how much money the treasury still has? Dong Zhuo stretched out three fingers, "Now there are only three billion money in the treasury, that is to say, by the end of October, the treasury will be empty, and we can only wait for the prefectures and counties to urgently transport taxes into Beijing." ”

Li Wei was dizzy, the back of his head was cold, and cold sweat came out.

"From June to September, the four prefectures of Hebei, Qingdao, Yanxu and Xu have been rainy and rainy, and this year's harvest in several tax-paying states will definitely not be good." Dong Zhuo frowned and said worriedly, "In July and August, many counties along the Yellow River in the three prefectures of Hebei and Yanqing executed embankments, and there were millions of victims. Last year's victims have not yet been resolved, and this year there are victims, and the imperial court is unable to provide relief, so it is very likely that some counties in these three prefectures will break out again in winter. ”

Dong Zhuo looked at Li Wei and said: "Lord Taifu and we have jointly signed a petition to the Son of Heaven, and implore the Son of Heaven to issue an order to order the state to do everything possible to accept as many victims as possible, and quickly move these victims north to avoid the rebellion from becoming more and more intense after the rebellion occurs again, so that the situation in the four prefectures of Ji, Yanqing and Xu is out of control. ”

Li Wei laughed angrily, "A few adults govern the country in a good way, high, high!" ”

Dong Zhuo's eyes showed a hint of anger, and he continued: "The difficulties of the imperial court today have a lot to do with the general of the chariot cavalry, he directly transferred 15 billion yuan from the first emperor's Wanjin Hall and the treasury, if this 15 billion money is still in the treasury, why is the imperial court struggling now?" This 15 billion money is for Tuntian, so why can't the imperial court move the victims north to the border Tuntian? Could it be that the general of the chariot cavalry also agreed with the imperial court on the number of tuntian? ”

Li Wei shook his head and said with a wry smile: "Lord Taiwei, think about it, if the general of the Che Cavalry hadn't taken away the money in July, how would the millions of disaster victims in Northern Xinjiang be able to defend the border tuntian?" Wait for the chaos in northern Xinjiang. There are now more than 4 million people in northern Xinjiang, and if the imperial court drives the victims to northern Xinjiang again, what will be the consequences, don't you know, Lord Taiwei? Who came up with the idea? This is to defeat the expedition, to cause chaos in northern Xinjiang, and to destroy the strategy of destroying the country of our Han Sheji, whose idea is this? ”

Dong Zhuo said dissatisfiedly: "This is the decision of dozens of ministers of the four governments and one station several times, not the idea of any one minister. The general of the Che Cavalry established Hanbei County in the desert, and the strategy of controlling Hu with Hu was adopted, and the ministers had many opinions, and the debate was very fierce, and there were many opponents. Many ministers thought that this was a matter that cost both money and energy, and that it did not take advantage of the desert at all, but instead had the disaster of raising tigers. There is a precedent for dominating the desert but not occupying the desert, so they think that the move of the general will end in failure. In order to prevent the disaster of the Hu people's southern invasion in the future, they thought of a strategy to make up for the dead. ”

"Is it a large number of people who moved north to the border and tuntian?" Li Wei scoffed, "Do they still suggest that the Han people go to the desert to raise horses for grazing?" Suggesting that the Hu people go south to farm? Suggest that Hu people learn my big Chinese characters? Suggesting Han-Hu intermarriage? Do they mean that in this way, the general of the Che Cavalry and the hundreds of thousands of troops in the northern Xinjiang will be trapped in the desert, and they will be firmly pinned down by the millions of disaster victims and Hu people outside the Saiwai, and they will no longer be able to look south? Does it mean that in this way, no matter whether the general wins or loses in the desert, he will not be able to pose a threat to Lord Taiwei and the imperial court? ”

Dong Zhuo smiled coldly and said expressionlessly: "In the past few days, we have to reconsider the strategy of the expedition to the desert, if the imperial court cannot ensure that there is enough food and salary to supply the expeditionary army in November, we will suggest that the general of the chariot cavalry stick to Hanbei County and no longer continue to pursue the main force of Xianbei in the north, so as not to repeat the defeat of the Sunset Plains twelve years ago." Now it seems that it is indeed a wise move for the general to insist on hoarding three months' worth of food and salary before sending troops to the desert. ”

"How can the treasury be without money?" Li Wei said, "I remember that in early August, when the Dasi Nongfu allocated this 15 billion yuan to the northern Xinjiang border tuntian, there were still about 10 billion yuan left in the treasury and Wanjintang. The expeditionary war has only been going on for more than 40 days since mid-August, and it has only consumed 2 billion yuan at most, and in addition to the three months of food and salary allocated by the imperial court in advance, the expeditionary force has consumed about 4 billion yuan at most. According to the agreement between the general and the imperial court, the expeditionary war will end in December at the latest, which means that the imperial court still needs to provide us with at least three months' grain and grass. ”

Dong Zhuo snorted coldly and explained Yuan Peng's explanation. From the wedding of the young emperor in August to the present, the royal family alone has spent nearly four billion dollars in two months. Originally, some of the money should have gone to Shaofu, but the billions of money in Shaofu were all taken away by Empress Dowager He, and the Shaofu treasury had long been empty. After the Luoyang Rebellion, the property of the He clan and the eunuch who were handed over and confiscated together was only more than a billion yuan, and the treasury of the north and south palaces and the nearly 10 billion money of the Shaofu treasury disappeared out of thin air.

"The general of the chariot cavalry has foresight, he is now advancing and retreating freely, and the expeditionary army has not yet been destroyed." Dong Zhuo said, "If the problem of feeding the victims can be solved in northern Xinjiang, there will not be a serious crisis in the short term." On the contrary, the place where there will be a crisis is Luoyang. Dong Zhuo knocked lightly on the table and said in a low voice, "No money, what should I do if I don't have money?" Where do I go to get money? ”

"The most important thing in Luoyang is money. I see that the money that disappeared out of thin air is in this Luoyang City. It's just that the money is in a private treasury, and it's very difficult for adults to get it back. Li Wei said with a smile, "Do you still remember the Xiliang Suppression of Corruption initiated by the First Emperor and the General of the Che Cavalry back then?" In a short period of time, the first emperor confiscated tens of billions of dollars. Adults have to find a way. ”

Dong Zhuo's eyes widened suddenly, and the expression on his face suddenly relaxed a lot.
