Jia Xu accompanied Li Ru to the door of the mansion. ∮ Yan Moxuan ∮ ad-free ∮

Li Ru is the commander of Langzhong, the head of the Langzhong guard, the head of the palace guards and attendant officials, responsible for the safety of the palace and the emperor. In order to completely control the Son of Heaven and the inner court in case of accidents, Dong Zhuo generally strictly forbade Li Ru to go out of the palace gate, even if he was summoned in an emergency, he would let him hurry back. The Son of Heaven in the palace and the peaceful and optimistic Northern Army were the two weapons that Dong Zhuo relied on to control the power of the Han Dynasty, and both were indispensable.

"Wenhe, you talked too much today, didn't you see that Lord Xiangguo has made up his mind?" Li Ru said softly, "The adults didn't call Liu Ai to discuss the matter, obviously planning to set up a doctor of ancient scriptures in Taixue." Liu Ai is a scholar of modern literature and scriptures, has followed adults for many years, and is deeply trusted by adults. ”

Jia Xu sighed: "Changsheng, Lord Taifu threatens the lord and the court with taxes, and strongly demands the establishment of a doctor of ancient scriptures, which is nothing more than a deliberate attempt to provoke a fight between modern and ancient scriptures, so as to disrupt the government and worsen the Luoyang crisis, so as to achieve the purpose of forcing away the lord and seizing power." The adults had just arrived in Luoyang, and their foundation was not stable, so the most urgent need at this time was to win over the scholars of the gate lord and obtain the support and trust of some scholars, so as to quickly increase their strength and stabilize the situation in Kyoto, rather than taking this risky strategy and giving up their advantages. ”

"The establishment of a doctor of ancient scriptures, although it can win over the ancient school of scriptures, attack the modern school of scriptures, and let the scholars of the two factions fight with each other or even fight, but it is also possible to make the two factions of ancient and modern scriptures join forces to deal with adults together. A catastrophe and a prophecy can make the two factions temporarily abandon their academic disputes, and at the same time target adults. We have no foundation in Luoyang, we don't have the support of the gate lord clan, and we don't have our own manpower in all prefectures and counties except Xiliang and Sanfu, once things get out of control and cause a military disaster, the adults will face a desperate situation. At that time, we will either give up our authority and return to Xiliang, or we will be trapped in Luoyang and the net will be broken. ”

"So why don't you just strike first, ban the weft, and then pull one to hit the other?" Li Ru said with a smile, "Wenhe, banning Wei is a major event that violates the law, and if you make this edict, the world will be in chaos." The adult is the biggest rebel thief in the Great Han Kingdom, and ......" He looked at Jia Xu, shook his head and said, "Your Excellency believes in the art of Wei Wei very much, don't you know?" In which war, didn't he first calculate the victory and defeat with yarrow? ”

Jia Xu smiled and said nothing.

"Today, you first advised the adults not to set up a doctor of ancient scriptures, and then offered a policy of banning the weft of the ancient scriptures, and violated the two taboos of the adults." Li Ru stopped, looked at Jia Xu, and said slowly, "Wenhe, do you want to leave Luoyang?" ”

Jia Xu's smile gradually narrowed, and he twisted his beard and said: "Changsheng, my lord has no foundation in Luoyang, and the strength of the gate valve is definitely not something we can deal with, and returning to Chang'an and Xiliang is the long-term strategy." There is only one ending to staying in Luoyang, that is, the fish dies and the net is broken, which is not good for adults or Dahan Sheji. My Han is already crumbling today, and if he suffers another heavy blow, his demise is imminent. ”

Li Ru looked around, his expression was extremely solemn.

"The adults moved all the confiscated wealth back to Chang'an, and the taxes of Jingzhao Yin, Fufeng, and Feng Yi counties were put into the Chang'an treasury, and the taxes of Hongnong County and Henan Yin were not sent to the Dasi Nong Mansion but moved into Ping Optimistic, why did the adults do this? Why didn't Li Wei of the General's Mansion mention the taxes of the five counties of Sili after he came? Why did Taifu Yuan Kui and the ministers of the court turn a blind eye? If these billions of dollars are used to fill the treasury, why should the food and salaries of the expeditionary army be halved? Why should you be so anxious to demand that the states and counties collect taxes quickly? ”

Jia Xu leaned into Li Ru's ear and whispered: "The lord is presetting a back path for himself, once Luoyang gets out of control, he will lead the army back to Chang'an and Xiliang, and the ultimate goal of Taifu Yuan Kui and the ministers of the court is to force the lord away, so the lord's move is just in line with their wishes, of course they have to turn a blind eye." As long as the adults don't leave, the state pastors of various prefectures and counties will not send taxes to Luoyang. ”

As for Li Wei, what he lacks now is not money and food, but power. After returning from the expedition, the general of the chariot cavalry made great achievements, and it was impossible to be satisfied with a corner of the northern frontier, he needed more power, and what he wanted to see was that we and the gate lords would lose both, and then he would sit back and enjoy the success. If he is lucky, he can go to Luoyang to replace the lord in charge of the Han Dynasty. Li Wei came to Luoyang not to ask for money, but to see the situation in Luoyang. ”

"The state pastors of various prefectures and counties have openly disobeyed the holy decree and delayed sending taxes to Luoyang, and the sin is not forgiven, how can they get rid of the crime?" Jia Xu patted Li Ru on the back and said helplessly, "Could it be that after the assistance of the general of the chariot and cavalry, you will dismiss all these people?" This is obviously unrealistic, how can I govern the world without a gatekeeper? For the sake of the stability of northern Xinjiang, the general of Che Cai urgently needs the stability of the political situation in Luoyang, and he will not allow the adults to act arbitrarily, so there must be a compromise between the adults and the gate lords. It is the best way for the adults to give up their authority and return to Chang'an and Xiliang, which can not only quickly stabilize the political situation in Luoyang, but also maintain the balance of power of all parties, which is very conducive to the recovery of the vitality of the Han Dynasty. ”

Li Ru's expression was slightly shocked, and he stopped talking. He knew what Dong Zhuo had done, and he also knew Dong Zhuo's purpose, but both he and Dong Zhuo seemed to ignore the strength and determination of the gate lords.

"Once the news of the withdrawal of the general of the Che Cavalry back to the border fortress reaches the capital, there will be changes in Luoyang." Jia Xu sighed lightly, shook his head and said, "Changsheng, from now on, Luoyang has fallen into a dead end, and it can't be saved." The living road is in Chang'an, in Xiliang, and to ensure this living road, Hedong and Xiliang are the top priorities. ”

"If you want to ensure that Chang'an and Xiliang are in the western frontier, in addition to removing the military power of the left general Huangfu Song as soon as possible and requisitioning him back to Beijing, the most important thing is to garrison Hedong. As long as Bingtun Hedong is east, we can contain and resist the threat of the Che Cavalry General to Chang'an, and in the future, we can also threaten Luoyang from the two directions of Tongguan and Hedong, and we can also help solve the current Luoyang crisis. From the point of view of the security of Gyeonggi, the proposal of the Lord to garrison Hedong will also be agreed by the Taifu Yuan Kui and the ministers of the DPRK and China. ”

Li Ru immediately understood what Jia Xu meant, and his face was full of admiration.

"The military administration of Hedong is now in charge of the general of the Che Cavalry, so the troops in Hedong must choose the right time." Jia Xu said worriedly, "Once the matter of the Hedong garrison angers the general of the Che Cavalry, the consequences will be unimaginable. Therefore, Changsheng must convince the general of the chariot to go north this time. ”

"Now that the expedition of the general has just ended, the vitality of the army is greatly damaged, and the food and grass are scarce, except for the temporary deterrent effect on us, there is no possibility of another war. In addition, from the perspective of stabilizing the entire northern Xinjiang, there is no need for the general to turn against us, and the garrison in Hedong not only does not harm him, but also ensures the balance of power between our three parties, and can also reduce the suspicion of the Son of Heaven and the imperial court against him. In any case, Tuntian in northern Xinjiang still needs the full support and help of the imperial court and us, otherwise once there is a disturbance, northern Xinjiang will be in chaos. ”

Li Ru nodded again and again, "It's still Wenhe's long-term consideration." According to the character of an adult, it is impossible for him to voluntarily give up his authority, and we have said these things in vain. Now the adults don't know how powerful the gate lord soldiers are, and they won't take the initiative to ask the garrison Hedong to provoke the general of the chariot cavalry. He is still quite optimistic about the development of the situation in Luoyang. ”

"That's a good point." Jia Xu said, "We don't need to provoke adults. What's more, now we are just a prediction of the development of the situation, and no one knows what will happen in Luoyang next month? ”

"You have violated the taboo of adults today, just to leave Luoyang to find an opportunity to enter Hedong?" Li Ru asked.

"Yes, this matter needs a little help from Changsheng."

The next day, Lang Zhong ordered Li Ru to tell Dong Zhuo that in order to prevent the general of the Che Cavalry from becoming angry with the imperial court and threatening Luoyang with troops after the withdrawal of the army, it was necessary to create some chaos in Hedong, which could not only contain the Tuntian soldiers in Hedong and divert the attention of the Che Cavalry General, but also help the adults to concentrate on solving the Luoyang crisis.

Dong Zhuo asked him what he could do? Li Ru said that there was a military Sima named Yang Feng in Li Dao's army, who turned out to be the leader of Baibo and Yellow Turbans. After Bai Bo and Huang Turban were defeated by the army led by the cavalry general's subordinates, such as Yingtong and Li Su, he jumped into the river to escape and chose his life. After Yang Feng fled to Kansai, he entered Dong Zhuo's army through a merchant connection. Li Ru planned to send him to the area of Wangwu Mountain and Taihang Mountain in Hedong to find Han Xian, the leader of the Baibo Yellow Turban, and let the Baibo thieves go down the mountain to grab grain on the condition of giving him heavy property.

Dong Zhuo agreed, and immediately summoned Captain Huben Li Dao. Dong Zhuo then asked Li Ru, saying that Jingzhao Yin Dong Min came to the book, hoping that he would send him a trustworthy Chang'an order, what do you think of Jia Xu? Li Ru said with a smile, Jia Xu is more needed here in Luoyang. Now that there is a war in Hanoi, and there will be a disaster of soldiers and armor in Hedong soon, I think it is better to let Jia Xu go north to Pingjin Pass and serve as the commander of Pingjin to lead the army to garrison Gyeonggi. Jia Xu is extremely intelligent, once there is something in Hedong and Hanoi, he can solve it nearby, and he can ensure that the north of Luoyang is as stable as a rock. Dong Zhuo thought about it carefully for a while, and then agreed.

In the past few days, Cai Yong, Gai Xun, and Zishao have arrived in the capital, and Chen Liubianrang, Shanyang Wang Qian, Yingchuan Xunshuang and other celebrities have also arrived in Beijing one after another. Beihai Zheng Xuan, Julu Zhang Zhen, Yingchuan Hu Zhao, Chen Liushen Tu Fan, Zhao Guo Handan Chun and others all refused to follow the refuge.

Dong Zhuo was overjoyed, Bai Xun Shuang was Guangluxun, Cai Yong was Shangshu, Bian Rang and Wang Qian were Guanglu doctors, Gai Xun was a big counselor, Zishao was a councilor, and other celebrities who went to Beijing were also awarded official titles.

Xiangguo Dong Zhuo consulted many ministers and famous scholars in Beijing on whether to set up a doctor of ancient scriptures in Nangong Dongguan.

Dong Zhuo said with a smile, when Emperor Xiaozhang was the emperor, he once held a White Tiger View meeting for the modern and ancient scriptures, and today, we also held an Eastern View meeting, this time, we must solve the matter of the modern and ancient scriptures. Dong Zhuo invited these ministers and celebrities to Dongguan to study ancient scriptures, and of course they unanimously agreed to set up a doctor of ancient scriptures. Cai Yong even proposed to set up five doctors, "Zhou Li", "Zuo Chuan", "Gu Liang", "Ancient Wenshangshu" and "Mao Shi", to show the imperial court's recognition of ancient literature and classics.

Dong Zhuo immediately asked the celebrities to write a piece of music, named "The Policy of Eastern Views", and immediately presented it to the Son of Heaven, and recommended five candidates for the doctorate of ancient scriptures. The Son of Heaven then issued an edict to the world, with both modern and ancient scriptures being given equal importance to official studies, and Taixue set up five doctors of ancient scriptures.

Luoyang was suddenly a sensation.

Recently, over the question of whether to set up a doctor of ancient scriptures, the famous scholars and Confucian scholars in Beijing gathered in the mansions of Taixue and their respective teachers every day to debate all night, and officials gathered in Lantai, Yuntai, Piyong, Dongguan, Shimur, Xuanming, Hongdu and other places where books were collected and debated repeatedly. Just when the Son of Heaven's decree was delivered to Taixue, Taixue's doctors of modern literature and scriptures and all the students were still questioning the ancient scriptures for the teacher inheritance of the "Zhou Li", and the two sides were arguing.

As soon as the holy decree was announced, the students of Taixue were in chaos, and the doctors and students of the current literature and scriptures scolded angrily one by one, while the students who studied the ancient scriptures were cheering and excited. The students who did not study the ancient scriptures in Taixue, and the disciples of Ma Riyan, Lu Zhi, Zhu Jun, Yuan Kui, Han Shuo and others usually studied the scriptures in Taixue. Now, because the study of ancient scriptures is about to come out and become an official school, these students, with the support of their respective teachers, immediately stood up and formed a camp of students of ancient scriptures.

Among the more than 30,000 students of Taixue, the students who studied ancient literature and scriptures did account for only a small part, and they were weak and weak, and they were a little arrogant after getting carried away, and as a result, they were earth-shattering insults from the students of Taixue, and the two sides immediately clashed, and then the conflict turned into bloodshed. Yuan Kui's protégés have many disciples, and they are vigorous, and they have been hit the hardest. By the time Xuanfan, the captain of Sili, arrived at Taixue with the guards to disperse the troublemakers, dozens of them had already fallen on the ground. It's a big deal.

The students of Taixue were not afraid, they rushed out of Taixue, formed a mighty procession, shouted all the way, and went straight to the North Palace. They knelt in a black area outside the gate of the North Palace, and begged the Son of Heaven with tears in their eyes to immediately abolish the ancient scriptures and ban the ancient scriptures. Some of the beings still parade around the city. There was chaos in the city of Luoyang.

Yang Feng (Yang Biao's grandfather), Yang Qin, Xue Valve (Xue Han descendants), Fu Valve (after Fu Zhan), Du Valve (Du Fu descendants), Cui Lie of Cui Valve (Cui Chu's descendants), Chong Fu of the seed valve (descendants of Cui Xuan), Zhang Wen of Zhang Valve, Wang Qian of Wang Valve (Wang Gong's descendants), He Valve (descendants of He Xiu, a giant of today's literature and scriptures) and many other gate valve families in Beijing rushed to the gate of the North Palace to support the doctors and scholars of literature and scripture in Beijing, and there were more royal magnates in Beijing Liu Hong, Liu Ting, Liu Bo, Liu Biao and many other clans rushed to help (the powerful members of the clan generally studied modern literature and scriptures). For a while, the momentum outside the gate of the North Palace was amazing, and the roar was like a tide, and the atmosphere in Luoyang City suddenly became tense.

The Son of Heaven and many ministers were terrified. Dong Zhuo was unmoved and calm.

He ordered the Eighth Lieutenant of the Northern Army to be dispatched immediately, and each leader was stationed at the Eight Passes of Gyeonggi. Zhonglang General Dong Yue led 10,000 troops back to Chang'an to garrison, Zhonglang General Duan Xuan led 10,000 troops to garrison Tongguan, and Zhonglang General Niu Fu led 10,000 troops to garrison Hangu Pass. Captain Xuan Fan of Si Li, Yin Wangyun of Henan, and Captain Wu Qiong of Chengmen each led the guards to inspect Luoyang City to prevent anyone from taking the opportunity to make trouble and harm the people.

As for the famous people and great Confucians, let them make trouble, and make trouble as much as they want.

Dong Zhuo underestimated the strength of the scholars. A few days later, Confucian scholars from Yin and Hongnong counties in Henan gathered in Luoyang, and Luoyang's opposition to the study of ancient scriptures as official learning became higher and stronger. The Confucian scholars of Chang'an and Sanfu also began to march in Chang'an City, and attacked the Jingzhao Yin Mansion several times, and Jingzhao Yin Dong Min was assassinated while driving away the troublesome Confucian scholars, and almost lost his life. At the same time, the Confucian scholars of the prefectures and counties reached by the edict of the Son of Heaven also gathered in the county government yamen to petition, but there were fewer Confucian scholars in these places, and they generally mainly petitioned and debated, unlike the Confucian scholars in Luoyang and Chang'an, who had a posture of never dying. But even so, the governors of various states and counties still wrote one after another, and the Taishou Qiaomao of the Middle East County even pointed the finger directly at Dong Zhuo, the prime minister, and angrily accused him of abusing power to harm the country, arbitrarily changing the ancestral system, and should be blamed and dismissed.

With this performance of Qiaomao, the government and the opposition scolded Dong Zhuo at the same time almost overnight, and the Confucian scholars of Luoyang gritted their teeth, eager to eat him alive, and demanded Dong Zhuo's resignation and the shouts of going back to Xiliang resounded throughout Luoyang City.

Dong Zhuo didn't hear it and ignored it at all.

He summoned Taifu Yuan Kui, Taiwei Huang Wan, and Sikong Xun Shuang (Xun Shuang was invited by Dong Zhuo to worship the Son of Heaven as Sikong three days after serving as Guangluxun) to discuss the matter of increasing taxes.

Yang Biao, who was worshipped as Situ, hadn't seen anyone for several days. Yang Biao is the descendant of Yang Zhen, the son of Yang Ci, and the head of the Yang valve. The Yang family has been studying Ouyang's "Shangshu" from generation to generation, and is now a master of literature and classics, with thousands of protégés. As the head of the family, Yang Biao actually studied ancient scriptures, which was naturally a matter of laughing at the world and discrediting his ancestors, so Yang Biao's uncle and grandfather Yang Feng gave Yang Biao two slaps and three kicks, and kicked him back to the camp of modern scriptures. Now Yang Biao accompanies tens of thousands of Confucian scholars outside the gate of the North Palace every day, strongly demanding that the Son of Heaven abolish the ancient scriptures and ignore state affairs.

Yuan Kui was very happy, agreed, and said that he personally sent a letter to the governors of various prefectures and counties, asking them to pay the taxes to the treasury before the end of December. Sikong Xun Shuang expressed his worries, he said that now the government and the opposition are in an uproar because of official studies, and people are panicking, which is really not suitable for increasing endowments. He suggested that the taxes of various prefectures and counties should be put into the treasury first, and it would not be too late to promulgate a policy of increasing taxes when the time is right.

Dong Zhuo spent so much effort, waiting for Yuan Kui's words, how could he give up?

At the end of November, the Son of Heaven issued an edict to the world to increase taxes and change the land rent to a tithe.

In late November, the good news of the expeditionary army arrived in Luoyang. The general of the chariot cavalry led the army to defeat Xianbei in Sunset Plain, beheaded 34,000 ranks, and killed the head of the Xianbei king.

Luoyang was a sensation.

The Son of Heaven was overjoyed and ordered to reward the soldiers of Northern Xinjiang, and Lang Zhong ordered Li Ru to immediately go north to reward the army.

Xiangguo Dong Zhuo was even more ecstatic, and that night he ordered Zhonglang to lead Lu Bu and Hu Zhen into the city, surround Taixue and all the gate lord families who participated in the Beigong petition, and ordered the Hu Ben captain Li Dao and Hu Qi captain Fan Chou to lead the army to drive away the doctors, scholars and celebrities gathered outside the gate of the North Palace. If there is any disobedience to the order, they will be arrested immediately.

However, the "drive" in Dong Zhuo's military order turned into "hunting" in the mouths of Li Dao and Fan Chou, and the Xiliang Iron Cavalry took advantage of the night to rush into Luoyang City and launched a bloody massacre. Overnight, five doctors of Taixue, more than 3,000 sentient beings, and dozens of famous scholars and Confucians became dead souls under the sword.

Lü Bu and Zhang Liao led the army to besiege Taixue. The students who returned to Taixue at night to rest tried to rush out of Taixue several times, but they were all shot back by the random arrows of the Northern Army.

Hu Zhen's army surrounded dozens of mansions of the gate lord family, and the luxurious mansions and the killing sound outside the gate of the North Palace deeply stimulated the Xiliang soldiers. Their eyes were red, and the soldiers were like a pack of wolves waiting for their prey, and if one of them rushed out, the house would become a grave.

Liu Bo, the former general of Duliao and Guangluxun, rushed out, "Who dares to surround my home?" What is the Holy Purpose? ”

The answer to him was a Qiang soldier wearing a battle helmet and long hair scattered outside, as well as a cold war knife. Liu Bo's head flew in the air, and his eyes widened in disbelief, how dare a small soldier kill me?

"Kill...... Rush in ......"

Men were killed, women were slavied, belongings were plundered, and a luxurious mansion turned into a luxurious tomb in the blink of an eye. Overnight, seventeen mansions in Luoyang City became tombs, and the emperor's relatives, the family of gate lords, and the people of Xiliang caught and killed whom, and the thick blood permeated the sky over Luoyang City.

Counselor Liu Biao ran into Yuan Kui's mansion with a panicked expression.

Yuan Kui had already received the report, and he was not too surprised by Liu Biao's fearful narration, and he only frowned when he heard the cruelty.

"Dong Zhuo has already gone on a killing spree. I am a descendant of the clan, and I studied the scriptures and scriptures, and if I stay in Luoyang, I will probably die soon. Liu Biao said, "Master Taifu, I'm here to say goodbye, and I'll leave Beijing early tomorrow morning." I'm going to Bohai County to join my first brother, before leaving, what do you have to say? ”

Yuan Kui said with a smile: "You told Ben Chu that I had sent him and his family members to Runan, and told him not to worry about Luoyang's affairs, and to do whatever he wanted." ”

Liu Biao nodded understandingly.

At this time, the servant Yuan Ji walked in and handed Liu Biao a black bag.

"That sentence was added?" Yuan Kui asked.

"Brother Boqiu and I have already written it according to my uncle's request." Yuan Ji replied respectfully.

Yuan Kui nodded, and said to Liu Biao with a solemn expression: "Jingsheng, the future of the Great Han Kingdom is in your hands. ”

Liu Biao hid his bag closely, and left Yuan's mansion in a hurry under the escort of more than a dozen Yuan valve guests.
